FOREWORD In this first edition of La Reata we have attempted to halt time and to preserve for your memory a few of the scenes and faces that have been associated with Salinas Junior College during this school year of nineteen thirty-five—thirty- six. What we see is changing, and being changed gone. We as a staff have been watchful today that we might catch something that you, tomor¬ row, may recall in these pages as present and not lost. The passing years too often dim and erase youth’s friendships and youth’s achievements, but this volume will increase in value with time, as a storehouse of these same faces and events. We have thought it fitting to chose a theme to picture familiar scenes of this fruitful valley. Spreckels, the vast lettuce industry, the pictur¬ esque coastline, and the yearly Rodeo are recorded for recollection and remembrance. This book has defects, probably more evident to us than to you as readers, yet if we have in any way caught the spirit and action of this school year, we have achieved our purpose. —The Editor.
