Jitter to the Cditor Editor, 1950 Coronal Corona Senior High School Corona, California Sirs: I was very interested to read of your new book, the Coronal, espe- cially since once, in the-way-dist- ant-past, I, too, went to CHS, and edited such a book. As Spike Jones ' record says, Tis not the simplest situation, John, and al- though editing an annual is not the simplest work, I considered it the most interesting thing I had under- taken, and there was such a feeling of pride and satisfaction upon its completion. I can hardly claim all the laurels for myself though, when I had such a goodie staff to do the dirty work. Possibly you have heard of some of these people, so I would like to mention their names — Bill Zidbeck, Joan Velthoen, Jeanne Dupuis, Scharli Lyon, Kay Seebold, Jim Husted, Pat Spark- man, Barbara Downs, and a Jimmy Ragsdale. Then there were two others — rather inconspicuous people, but we must give to Caesar that which is Caesar ' s — Mary Cleopaterer Cogswell and Cilgarus Ritter. Truly though, I do hope you get the satisfaction from your publica- tion of the 50 Coronal, that I did from my annual work, and I know that you and your staff will put out a great book. See Gee Jewell Corvallis, Oregon. P.S. Sorry this was late — but then who ever met an annual deadline?

Barbara Downs Life on the Corona Senior High campus in 1949-50 has brought many thrills and joys that we will want to re-live — the exaltation felt by members of the band that moment in Long Beach Municipal Auditorium when the master of ceremonies announced that the sweepstakes trophy winner was Corona — the heartbreaking 35-0 set back at the hands of Bonita in that memorable championship tilt — the thrilling strains of The Hallelujah Chorus with which the Crimson and Gold Choir climaxed the annual Christmas program. It is in the hope that you might recapture and hold these as well as the thousand little common- places that gave high school years a very special place in our lives, that we of the Coronal staff have published this 1949-50 edition of the Coronal. — The Editor. ft . 373.1 K H5 £ c. | J etter to the Cditor Coronal, Corona, Calif. Sirs: Well, after two long years I still can t help but think of all the things that went into the making of that 1948 yearbook. Those meetings down at the Green Lantern Print Shop were something to remem- ber. Mr. Genung got such a kick out of hearing us talk about dealies, the word which applied to anything and everything. After the first few meetings, everyone on the staff was as busy as a bee working on the annual. The drawing up of the dummy, the scheduling of pictures, the issuing of assignments and their deadlines, the mounting of pictures for the cuts, and the reading of proof were in full swing before long. Then besides all the time spent and work done, there was always the fear that something or some- one might be left out that should be included. Also the anticipation of getting each page as it was completed to see if everything came out as well as the promising plans showed, gave you a sort of hold your breath feeling. Such were the worries of the Corona Senior High School Annua l’s 1948 editor! As I look back after two years have elapsed I still swell with pride because I feel that our 25th An- niversary Book was well received by both faculty and students. All the staff and Mr. Ritter should take a bow. I know you will get the same satisfaction when you have completed your book and it is in the hands of the eager student body. To hardworking editor Jimmy, his staff, and to his patient and untiring sponsor, Mr. Ritter, I send my most sincere wishes that the 1950 Coronal will be the best yet.
