The Junior-Senior banquet is one of the happy events of the year toward which each one of us had looked with pleasure. The custom was started by the class of 00, who entertained the class of ' 99. This has been continued by each successive class. Possibly the banquet is too elaborate, still this splendid custom should be continued in some form, even though it is a simple one, as the graduating classes grow larger. It is an occasion to be remembered and the memory of it enjoyed for many years. Through the medium of the “Annual,” the Editor, in behalf of the Class of ’ I 4, wishes to pay a tribute of gratefulness and appreciation to their faithful friend and adviser. Miss Olive Clark, to whom we feel we are indebted for any success in our Class Play that the public so kindly granted us. From the conception of the plot down to planning the minutest details of costume, she untiringly gave assistance and help. For all these things we thank her, and as we, the Class of ’ 1 4, go forth from the C. H. School, we will carry with us pleasant memories of Miss Clark as a teacher, friend and comrade. The staff certainly wish to thank the advertisers who have helped to make this paper a possibility. They wish also to thank Stanley Davis for his cartoons; Carlos McCully for his help in soliciting ads and all the others who have worked to make our paper a success. We, the Student Body of the Corona High School, send out this little publication, hoping it may give a few moments pleasure, and asking leniency in your judgment. CORONA HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY Dr. M. Victor Staley, Supervising Principal. Miss Olive Clark, Vice Principal. Miss Elizabeth Andrews, Commercial Subjects. Mr. H. W. B. Baker, History. Miss Louise Oakey, English.

Two entertainments were given by the Student Body during the year. The first was a lecture on “Bird Music,” by Dr. Miller of the Los Angeles Normal School. The other was the University of Lemonville. EDITORIALS Commencement is fast approaching, and with it vacation and partings, pleasant anticipations of the future that is before us, and backward glances with a sense of happiness at our successes and regret for our failures. There have been many happy occasions to remember others not so happy, but it is only through both success and failure that experience is gained. The Corona High School has shown a marked increase in school spirit during the last year, but there is still much to be desired in making that spirit uniform throughout the school. Each member of the Student Body should make himself or herself responsible for some one thing, it matters not what. Too much of the responsibility of school affairs that should be shouldered by the students themselves is left to the faculty. It is true the faculty are always ready and willing to take these things upon themselves, but it should not be left to them. It is the place of the students to be responsible for affairs of the Student Body. It is a very noticeable fact that a certain few have appeared over and over again in every phase of school life. The student activities are along such various lines that there is certainly a place for every one. Along a literary line there is debating and oration; the glee clubs for those musically inclined and athletics, which included basket ball, track, baseball, football and tennis. Surely out of those each student could select one and enter into it enthusiastically and with an effort to win. This must be if this school is to be a representative school. Page Eight

Page Ten Harold Beach is known best by his smooth classic brow. He wears an air of grave deliberation as though pondering weighty matters. A visitor to the school in- variably mistakes him for the principal. One would not think his favorite pastime was racing a motor cop. A strange combination of mischief and fun, Of sobriety, industry, business, every one, Is Katherine Sias, with her dark hair and eyes, And winning smile which no one denies. She debates and orates with pleasure and ease. Writes essays and papers with power to please. In selling tickets she cannot be beat, As her memorized speech had proven so neat. For her this saying cannot be wrong: “As merry as the day is long.” Tilly is ever light of foot And also light of heart, But as a brave he got his cue And nobly took his part; But ever there the tango step Would now and then creep in; With his teachers he’s so popular They always keep him in. There is a maiden in our class Who laughs and sings all day. She is a happy, merry lass, And whiles the time away With naughty tricks and bubbling fun. But now and then she works a while. She writes, debates, and studies some. This maiden gay without a guile.
