5 LA COPA DE ORO M Editorial School terms come and go, yet we always look back on them and compare the present with them, picking out unconconciously, perhaps, as the most striking years those which show marked advancement in the school activities. How will this year compare with others? Will it stand out? It should, because much time and labor have been spent in the accomplishment of things that tend to place our school on an equal with other high schools that stand for the very best. A much needed and desired addition to our school building is the new cafeteria. In constructing it, the plans of a cafeteria of a large high school in the state were consulted and modified to suit our particu- lar purpose. The hangings and colors used on the walls and furniture are very pleasing and satisfying to the eye. The chairs and tables which were made by the shop boys lend a cheerful and homelike air to the building. Besides the new cafeteria there have been improvements on the grounds which have added a hundred per cent to the school's appear- ance. Flowers, shrubs, and lawns have been planted according to the plans of a landscape gardener, and within a year our yard should be one of the most attractive in the state. The purchase of a five acre tract which lies in the back of the school has added materially to our athletic field. It is almost entirely enclosed by eucalyptus trees so has the appearance of a natural stadium. The boys are proud of their new field and it will certainly act as a stimulus to better athletics. Two cement tennis courts were also built this year and are enjoyed by both the students and the townspeople. Previous to this year no interest was shown in tennis as dirt courts do not stir up any enthusiasm. But everyone is playing this year and several promising players are being developed. There has been a decided increase in school activities this year which is a very good omen. Latin and Spanish Clubs have been organized through which the students are able to learn more about the respective languages and customs of the countries which they represent. A club that provided entertainment at various occasions for the townspeople as well as the school is Altenso, a girls' musical organization. Other very beneficial clubs are the Dramatic Club and the P. A. L., an organization which includes all of the girls of the school. In P. A. L. Students' Control was taken up in a very small degree. Let us hope that this will continue and enlarge next year, be- cause it teaches the students the sense of duty and loyalty. And speaking of loyalty, I might say, loyalty is the keynote of school activities. Every single student must be behind our teams, whether they be athletic or any other kind. Let's stand behind them as we know the communities of this district stand behind our school and support our activities.
