Pursuit of In the famous legends of King Arthur there is a Knight of great valor who is known as Galahad. As a youth he was quite unknown and had little, save his own determination. In time Galahad was to become second to none and by far better than the most skilled of other Knights. This did not satisfy him. Galahad heard romantic tales of the Holy Grail. He had heard of the many attempts, of noble Knights, to obtain this symbol of the highest perfection and excellence. Galahad knew that un- til he reached and possessed this most Holy Grail he could not be content. Many months passed and Galahad suffered many wounds and afflictions of both body and soul, but never, never did he give up in his search. Through his great will, his unyielding perserverance, Galahad had become all that the Holy Grail represented, and finally in the end, he reached the Holy Grail and he possessed the high- est honor. Knights of Katella set their aims high. The sky was the limit and the Holy Grail was the goal. This first year brought many victories, many praises and it set the pattern for stu- dents to follow in the vears to come.

Spirited Juniors Establish Through Traditions, JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS: President: Lee Fricker: Vice-President: Lisa Lewis: Treasurer: Terry Hopkins: Secretary: Lesley Hutchinson. Class rings chosen as the symbol for the knights was worn as a band of pride by juniors. The school crest was on one side of the ring with the Latin words In Hoc Signo Vincemus written above meaning In this sign we shall conquer. On the other side was a knight on a galloping horse. Each symbol on the ring means some- thing as the three roses represent the three classes and the profile of a boy is imposed over the profile of a knight, representing citi- zenship, the torch of knowledge representing scholarship, and the winged foot symbolzing athletics. Through established legends and traditions Katella ' s upper class experienced a productive year — one of many decisions and foundations. Spirited juniors began their active year by holding a car wash to help finance the first an- nual Autumn Nights homecoming dance. The dance was highlighted by the crowning of Judv Sherwin as queen along with Pam Nash and Candy Jones as attendants. Following dance fes- tive homecoming game was played in La Palma Stadium where Katella Knights tied 13-13 with El Modena. Sponsoring other fund raising activities such as pop bottle drives, paper collections and candy suckers sales aided Juniors in their financial gains. A senior circle was planned which is to be built in the summer. Katella ' s first junior class will undoubtedly be one that will be difficult to equal and impos- sible to surpass in future years. This junior class created legends and foundations for all classmen.
