FOREWORD W E, THE STAFF of the 1929 annual, present this issue of the Coronal to the graduates of our high school and to the students of Corona High School with - the earnest hope that the book will please them. We have put many hours of work on the Coronal. We feel that it is a success and we are hoping that it will, in years to come, recall memories of happy experiences throughout the years of 1928-1929. Were it not for the fact that former students of the high school have worked hard to forward activities — activities that seem strange to us now but ones which necessarily come before, our activities today — there would be no possibility of our being what we are today — an active participant in athletic and scholastic affairs. ■ ' . • - r We are here to honor you. Friends who have gone before, Pledging to your memory Loyalty evermore. Our school is decked with beauty In the changing spring and fall; We think of you as we see them, Knowing you loved them all. We are hoping that we, too, May be remembered as have you And be thought of in the future With as kindly thoughts and true. Four

HISTORY OF CORONA HIGH SCHOOL H ISTORY of Corona High School began in 1896 when George Scoville graduated in solitude from this place of learning. The next year there were six graduates. Miss Grace Shepherd and Mrs. Joe Chaney, then Jessie M. Kelly, were two from the second graduation class. Fred Miller ' s mother, Maud Baird, and Kate Baker (Mrs. E. H. Wallace of Corona), and a minerologist in South Africa, Roy Cemull, are alumni from the class of 1899. Three people, Elizabeth Andrews (Mildred’s aunt, now Mrs. Mac Donald), Herman Johnson, and Grace Todd graduated in 1900; two, in 1901; and two, Nina and May Beebe, in 1902. The first journals of the high school were published in 1903. They were monthly pamphlets of about sixteen pages and named The Gleam. In Corona at the present are Mrs. Harry Lyman, then Bessie Brubacher, and Mr. Joy C. Jameson, who grad- uated with five others on June 5, 1903 — Commencement was held at the Opera House. The program contained the Class Will, written by Miss Brubacher, and an oration, given by Mr. Joy Jameson, on The Development of Transportation. The valedictory was given by Miss Zula Brown, who, in 1913, was a missionary in China. Class Day in 1903 was quite different from Class Night-to-be in 1929; their program was really prepared. They gave their Senior Play then, Mr. Bob, a comedy in two acts. The high school orchestra played before the play was presented, and Scoville Brothers’ Mandolin and Guitar Club played after each act. The next year Loyal Kelly, who is now ex-District Attorney of Riverside County, was a dashing young gaucho, evidently. He was a member of the debating team (Mr. Walter Clayson was the other member). He wrote poetry. One of his poems was called A Sonnet : “I stood upon a mountain’s lofty brow, And looked abroad upon the rippling sea When in my curling tresses lit a bee; And then you should have heard the awful 1 row. All meditative fancies vanished now. Dame Nature held no further charm for me; I tho’t no more to bend the humble knee To her majestic presence or to bow In reverence to her glorious manifold. My tho ts were centered all in vengeance dread, My birthright I would willingly have sold For one good whack at his devoted head. And now when I stroll forth to worship Pan, I go in netting wrapped, a wis er man.” L. K. ’04 The largest attendance of the freshman class in the history of Corona High School to the date 1903 was in 1903. The entire number of freshmen was nineteen Six
