freshmen were Lester Hampton, Letha Raney, and Pearl Webtser (Betty’s aunt) . But the seniors had to have their hats made to order, too. Susie Ott (Magdeline Clark’s mother) was one of those seniors. But, you know, that “new Corona High School’’ might have had something to do with that tight-hat problem. It is that structure on south Main street between the Boulevard and Olive Sreet. The high school play, Esmeralda, was given at the Corona Opera House, Satur- day, March 30, 1907, before a large and appreciative audience. ' ' ' La Corona was discontinued in 1909, ' and the next juornal was more like an annual. It was published once in 1913. And thus the Corona High school progressed in numbers and in size, for in 1923 our present edifice was built, and in 1928 we outgrew our classrooms and had to move the Mechanical Drawing classes into the dug-out on the north-west corner of the campus — Wings to the main building next, please! And thus we owe her, our high school, our deepest appreciation for all that is good in her, and all the good in us that we have found through her. Leah Hoover, ' 29 As the gray of advancing time Throws its shadow on up all We ' ll still uphold her standards And never let them fall. She ' ’s given us our training In all of life’s own ways. And we’re giving her a “thank you” That only in part repays. Dorothy Twogood ’30 Eight

They had quite a series of “tepid dissimilitudes” while in search of colors which would be the most desirable for them. It was suggested that March seventeenth green and milky white colors be chosen, since it was most appropriate. The first football game of the 1903-1904 year was with Yale Classical School of Los Angeles, there, on October 30. The score was 12 to 0, and we won! On November 7 the Corona men met Ontario, whose men outweighed ours fifteen pounds to the man. But we kept them from getting any score, and vice versa. The next game, which was with Redlands, was played on the Corona grounds; and the score was 11 to 0 in our favor. The Orange-Corona game was Saturday, November 14. Corona won 1 1 to 0. The Freshies had a picnic in 1904. This was their menu: sack of cabbage heads, ten gallons of fresh milk, one ton of alfalfa, twelve bunches of greens, twelve dozen goose sandwiches, ten bottles of “Mellen’s Food,” and one hundred pounds of brain food. And everyone was to bring his spoon, bowl and bib. Mr. Harry Brockman (Beatrice’s dad) gave two young ladies in the English X class hysterics one day in 1904 by putting a magnifying glass in front of his mouth. In 1905 the freshmen seemed to have a mania for bringing into existence a new art: the art of history. These are some historical gems from freshmen pens: The Ides of March came into the Senate House and stabbed Caesar; Lafayette came over in several ships; and When The Romans saw the Cimbri and The Teutons sliding down the Alps on their shields into Rome, they were terrified. A part of Cicero was translated this way: “in saltibus” — “in the salt mines, by A. Forest Dean; and a part of Caesar read thus, translated: “The halyards having been bom down, the rigging was killed. All the people dead who wrote it, All the people dead who spoke it, All the people die who learn it, Blessed dead, they surely earned it. The first inter-school debate was with Colton in 1905. The question was “Re- solved, that It would be more beneficial to the world, should the Japanese be victor- iuos in the present Russo-Japanese War. Corona defended the affirmative. This meet was rather peculiar because both schools had the same initials and colors and abundance of water since a Colton debater was Miss Waters and a Corona debater, Mr. Drinkwater, and there was a pitcher full of water on the stage. We won! In 1906, when Mr. Harry Brockman and Miss Sulu Lyman (now Mrs. E. D. Currier) graduated, The Gleam faded, and La Corona took its place in December, 1906. This new journal was also a monthly, and had grown to about thirty pages. The freshmen of 1907 contracted protuberance of the chief ganglia as in 1929, so the sophomores had to warn them not to grow out of their hats. Some of those Seven
