Dawning on the pages ot history, the Orient has always been the seat ot ancient culture. Brilliance ot royal courts, Fuiiama, the sacred mountain, jeweled and lavishly robed, rulers, the inspired quality ot art, lite and death-each has contributed to the solid and lasting philosophy that has made the oriental civilization something which has never been destroyed or duplicated. Recored on the tollowing pages ot the Diadem, is our contribution towards a richer and more rewarding way ot lite. From the tirst day ot school, to Homecoming and the Taylor Trophy, the District Basketball tournament, ending by strains ot Pomp and Circumstanceu at Gradua- tion: through all, we have strived to do a better job than betore, establishing a tradition and quality long to be remembered. From the Oriental way ot lite we have gained intinite knowledge, skills, art, tradition and drama. Symbolical ot the lasting ideals we have searched tor, this years Diadem chooses tor its VICKI LEE EDITOR theme, i'Oriental. - 2 Administration Administration C.

The affair given yearly by Girls Honor Society had two members present from the hon- ored class. Corsages were given to those representing the graduating classes of the early 1900 s. Vicki Lee general chairman saw to it that entertainment was provided as were refreshments for the large group. New ways and methods of choosing the queen and her court were worked out for this year. The new system had the student body vote for eight senior girls, from those eight another election was held to select three. The football team picked one of the finalists to reign over the Homecoming festivities. During the half of the annual Taylor Trophy game the queen was announced. At the dance Saturday she was crowned by Tom Emerson, football captain, with a new and sparkling crown presented this year by Girls' Honor Club for all future Homecoming queens. The game featuring the Royals and Auburn Troians ended in a 0-0 tie. At the close of the gridiron battle Au- burn's co-captains presented the Taylor Trophy to K-M to keep until March when the Troians took over the possession of the high award. The trophy was presented to Auburn at an inter- school dance, March 29, at our neighboring rivals' gym. The Girls' Club sponsored dance finished up the busy week-ends with couples dancing :under a ceiling of silver stars to the music of Burke Garrett and his band. The theme Starlite Interlude was carried out with shades of pink and silver. A Staircase to the stars provided a throne for the queen and her attendants. Silhouettes, angel hair and pink flowers transformed the gym into a fantasy land of dreams. Reigning over the gala occasion was Pat Brown, general chairman, who with her committee heads, helped make this dance one of the biggest suc- cesses yet. 45 as 3 ts. - Q ,,,,,f1xf' 1 I' x :ak1 if ROYAL HERALD Vol. XXI - No. I2 KENT-MERIDIAN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL Friday, March 8. i957 f' 'ins Auburn ln. el Drive: Senio?

Miss McHugh, adviser, explains proper methods of laying out o page to Buz Corhan, Dot Blan- ton, Ardie Forman, and Judi Burns, Herald Staff Has Busy Year Publishing a newspaper is no easy business, and the nearly thirty young men and women who worked together to put out the bi-weekly Royal Herald, official news pub- lication of Kent-Meridian High School, will certainly testify to that. Editors-in-chief were chosen with each issue in order for more students to gain experience. Chuck Reeves and Doug Mclntash headed the sports, business communications were taken care of by Marilyn Baden and Janice Larsen. The Herald crew found much pleasure and satisfaction in their work, besides the hard grind of everyday tasks. As the Yuletide season progressed the Herald Staff put aside their work for a short time, to sponsor a food and clothing drive for the needy families of the Kent valley. Much response was shown by the students, and a large amount of food was collected, making the drive a great success. Besides learning the fundamentals of a good news story, Journalism students were given the five points of writing an editorial, and opportunities to learn the right way to cor- rectly lay out the news-page of a paper. These same Jour- nalism students faced the even greater task of putting to- gether a school annual. Between annual and paper work, Journalism students had to often take extra time to put that special touch into their work.

Traffic Court Do you plead guilty or not guilty? are the words of Curt Thomson, presiding officer of Traftic 'Court..to students who had their traffic citations referred to the court. Roger Minear, assistant presid- ing officer, took over in Curt's absence. Working in coniunction with the Kent City Police and the Washington State Patrol, I7 students of Kent-Meridian formed the membership of the council who tried students receiving tickets for traf- fic violations. Lynn Farman's job as recording clerk was to keep track of all citations and penalties. Bonnie Kennedy was her assistant. The court has a standing membership from year to year, with two additional members elected from each class at the beginning of the year. Also, the Rules and Safety Committee automatically become members of the group. Ray Rister, baliff, brought offenders into the meeting room. Court members asked questions concerning his case, then set a suitable penalty. A scale of a maximum of 45 minutes work for every dollar of the fine was set. Violators were usually sentenced to do some work to improve or clean the campus, parking lot, cafeteria, or another school area. Norwood Cunningham and Jim Cantrell advised the group and a member of the State Patrol or Kent Police force usually sat in on court sessions.

Taylor Trophy Marks As November l6'drew near, students were thinking about the game between Kent-Meridian and Auburn, the rivalry between the two schools dating back 30 years to the time when the league was tormed. ln the annual game teaturing the two schools, the winner ot the contest is awarded the Taylor Trophy atter the game. Auburn, in these 30 years, has beaten the Royals I5 times and lost l0. The remaining were tought to a O-0 deadlock. On record tor these years ot action, how- ever, the Royals hold the edge on the Auburn team. For instance, Kent-Meridian has won the league championship six times, three ot which were untied, unbeaten seasons. Auburn, on the other hand, has never had the honor ot being King ot the League. Renton and Puyallup are the only ones to boast holding the championship belt more than K-M. Kent-Meridian has been on the bottom rung ot the ladder only tour times. Au- burn has held down the low spot seven times, which is more than any other school. Since l926, a total ot 23l games have been played by each school against other league teams. T 98 hirty Years of Rivalry Kent-Meridian has won 95, lost I07 and tied 29 times, tor a percentage ot .437. Accordingly, K- M is tourth in the league play tor the 30 years. The Troians percentage is .39I as a result ot 76 wins, l25 deteats, and 30 ties. For the same per- iod ot time, Auburn ranks seventh. Since IQ46, when all-star players were start- ed, Auburn has only had two malce the grade in IO years. The last in l953. Royals have had tour in the last two years. ln the l955 season, the Royals deteated the Trojans 6-0, and in I929 the Kingmen tried to make Auburn burn by scorching them 52-0. This year, under the leadership ot Captain Tom Emerson, the Royals tied the Troians again 0-0. Since the Royals won the year betore they could keep the trophy the tirst halt ot the year and Auburn would get it the second halt ot the year. An interschool dance was held in the Au- burn gym and the trophy was turned over to the Auburn students. 4 Letter from The Editor . AnoTher year has drawn To a close.
