Such opinions are never given a thorough test, however, until the final chapter in the class history is written. There is one distinction which the class. of '26 can claim as their own without fear of contradiction, however. Never has such a large class graduated from King City High in its fifteen years of existence. Whether this class develops into the best pro- duct of the school, only the years will tell, but it will venture forth believing that it has pushed the high-water mark a little farther up the bank both in numbers and in the fullness of its activities. Beginning their four years of high school life on August 14, 1922, the majority of the class of '26 entered King City High and laid the foundation for the later achievements of the class by at once entering the field of school activities. Sports immediately attracted the attention of Joe Garner, Clifton Beasley, and Howard Giacomazzi, all of whom have since been prominent in athletics. The Washington-Lincoln ,program given by the class on February 23, 1923, gave Majorie Armstrong and Joe Garner an opportunity to prove their dramatic ability. They have both appeared on the stage many times since. Near the end of the year, the class presented the school with two pictures, Reading from Homer and Under Blue Ionian Skies, both reproductions of paintings by Alma-Tadema. T Records do not show the cause for the lessening activity of the group during their sophomore year, but no large task was 'ac- complished. One of the first acts of this period was the purchase of the flower bowls which are still to be seen in the cafeteria. The annual Christmas program and an Easter party were the contributions of the class to the, social season of 1923-24. Both functions were well received by the school. Boys in the class showed an increased enthusiasm for athletics in their sophomore year, while in all activities the interests of the group were broadening in preparation for the work of leadership which the next two years were to demand. ' Entering upon the third year of high school life with a desire to do greater things, the class of '26 almost dominated every phase LA CoPA DE Ono of activity. From the distinction of having a larger number of its members in the Honor Society than any other class to being repre- sented on the smallest committee of the year, juniors were always in evidence. In drarnatics, particularly, did the class of '26 lead last year. Surprising everyone by presenting an original Thanksgiving musical sketch, the class immediately won recognition on the stage. Five months later Adam and Eva, a three act play, was offered to the public. The play won more than passing mention and some of the cast did exceptionally good character work. In staging their annual play, the class of '25 needed some assistanceg so two mem- bers of the junior class took major roles in the production of A Pair of Sixesf' All athletic teams were strengthened by boys from the class. Those winning prominent positions were Howard Giacomazzi, Wil- liam Luckett, Clifton Beasley, Joe Garner, and Ronald Russell. One of the most novel money-making schemes the school has seen was introduced when a beauty parlor was opened by the class of '26 to lighten some of its financial burdens. The business prov- ed very popular with the students and was quite remunerative. Two new student projects were greatly aided by the juniors during this year. Members of the class were prominent in the or- ganization of the Science Club and in pioneering the printing of the school paper, King Hi-Ways. In keeping with other achievements of the year, was the Junior Prom given by the class of '26. Surpassing every previous Prom in the elaborateness and brilliance of its decorations, the affair set a standard which will not soon be exceeded. I I Of the twelve members of the 1925 La Copa De Oro staff, six were juniors, some of thcm receiving positions of the greatest fre- sponsibility. Thus in the last great activity of the year, the class of '26 again rose to prominence. Beginning the past year by taking a prominent part in the ar- rangements for the Freshman Reception, the seniors followed thc precedent thus established by being on of the two classes to over subscribe their quota in the newspaper subscription campaign which soon followed. The class was the first to be one hundred per cent in the Old Ironsides fund drive conducted by the Elks Lodge last autumn. LA COPA DE Crm In football, senior boys held positions on the team which their rank and ability entitled them. Joe Garner went through the season as quarter back, while Howard Giacomazzi, Willis Tompkins and Jan Martinus strengthened the team. Basketball claimed but two of the class, Joe Garner and Howard Giacomazzi making the heavy- weight team. Student body publications have more than before been in the care of seniors. On the staff of La Copa De Oro, Joe Garner, Walter Clement, Dorothy Rogers, Marjorie Armstrong, William Luekett, and Howard Giacomazzi have labored to make the book truly representative of student effort and original in every way possible. Since its small beginning last year, King Hi-Ways has been under the direction of members of the class of '26. A compari- son of the latest editions of the paper with those of 1925 will give an idea of what has been accomplished. In addition to merely im- proving the publications, the seniors in charge were influential in the purchase of the printing plant on which both the annual and the paper are being printed this year. 4 At Christmas time the class entertained the school with a short playlet in which members of the class and some of the faculty were shown as they may be several years in the future. Later candy was given to every one and the remainder of the afternoon devotedito dancing. I . ' , The Arrival of Kitty was presented on May 14 as the annual class play. A large crowd attended the affair and expressed them- selves as very well pleased with both the selection of characters and the production as a whole. , , . The year 1926 has been a busy and profitable one for the sen- iors in that the lessons of organization and co-operation have been forcibly brought before them. Joe Garner was elected classupresi- dent for the third time, a remarkable tribute to his ability and popularity. In directing the activities of the class,. he has been assisted by Willis Tompkins, vice president, .Dorothy Hawley, treasurerg and Dorothy Rogers, secretary. Indicative of the pre- dominence of seniors in the affairs of student government, out of eight positions to be filled in the Student Body Executive Council, seven were given to seniors. Jan Martinus, Grayce Gould and Marjorie Armstrong head the Science Club, P. A. L., and Honor Society respectively. Never since LA COPA oe Oreo the class began to supply leaders in their junior year has its in- fluence on the conduct of school affairs been allowed to falter. Members of the class of '26 have led the student body right up to nmencement time and as they receive their diplomas graduation eight, one of King City High's most influential classes will pass into that ever increasing body which forms a passive but interested Llumni. Kenneth Mansfield. SENIOR PROPHECY The following clippings were obtained through a device in- vented by C. Beasley, an ardent spiritualist. With the help of this invention Mr. Beasley is not only able to recall the events of the past but also to look into the future. The extraordinary psychism of this machine was brought into play when he gazed into the future of our school paper, KinglHi-Ways, and extracted some of the news contained therein. It is, thought by some, that Mr. Beas- ley's intense study will result in many more wonderful discoveries if his affinity for tips does not result in an early death. Clippings from the 1946 Hi-Ways: Mr. William Luckett, one of our most distinguished alumni, and a leading figure in every movement which goes to make life more worth while, will present to the Woman's Club a detailed discussion on The Care and Bringing Up of Our Younger Citizens. William Will use his own boy-hood as an illustration. Willis Tompkins, the world renowned scientist, has invented 11. new kind of radio. According to Mr. Tompkins, if one uses the mily album as an aerial, one may talk to the old folks. Hazel Louise Gruver has been awarded the National Family Prize which is being given each year by the government to thc woman who has the largest family. Madam Gruver's family con- sisted of fifteen alluring little flappers, to say nothing of eight stalwart income-tax-payers-to-be. It is rumored that Howard CSwissJ Giacomazzi has received an offer of five hundred thousand dollars for his appearance with thc leading All-American foot-lil? llaycrs in a barnstorming tour of the U. S. . -A ' Lloyd L. Thayer, internationally known as the harmony manf' and who replaced the saxaphone with the harmonica in the jazz LA COPA :JE Oreo of the recent real estate boom in the Salinas Valley. Miss Lillian Beyer, the only woman of the class of '26 who has been married less than twice, is suffering from a blister on the roof of her mouth, caused by chewing gum with a set of ill- fitting false teeth. She has announced her intention of sueing Dr. F. Ray Peterson M. D., who is alleged to have manufactured the plates, for 3lS30,000, on the grounds that as a result of impaired speech, she was prevented from getting the last word in a quarrel with her husband. Dr. Peterson's lawyer, Jan Martinus will ap- peal the case. His chief argument is that the blister was probably made by a grape seed lodging behind the plate. The old proverb, there's a little bad in every good little girl was illustriously illustrated yesterday when it was discovered that the director of the crime wave, that has been terrorizing all Chi- cago, was Miss Dorothy Rogers. Walter Clement, the local cabinet maker, has received the third award of three dollars for his cedar chest at the state fair. This prize means very much to Mr. Clement. Florence Robles, the Little Spanish Dancer, has collected the orchestra, will present to the K. C. U. H. S. student body a short talk on The Virtues of Syncopationf' It is said that Miss Clara Pierce, whose beautiful voice has been heard nightly over the leading radio stations, will make her first appearance on the Paris stage next fall. Here's hoping Miss Pierce is successful. Reports received here today, state that the royalty of England are becoming very much alarmed over the interest that the Prinvv of Wales is showing toward Grayce Gould, the beautiful Movie Queen of Hollywood. Dorothy Hawley and Florence Franscioni, the leaders of the new Tieldian Faith, plan to make a nation wide tour of the U. S. thoroughly canvassing every state. It is predicted that this new religion will completely wipe out the Christian Faith in the course of a few years. Ernest Lane has received the title of Poet Laureate of Siam. Among his more famous poems are Where There's a sWill, There's a Way, and My Love Is Like An Onion. Kenneth Z. Mansfield, who started out as editor of the King Hi-Ways twenty years ago, recently purchased Captain Billy's F l LA COPA DE Ono Whiz Bang. Joseph Garner, renowned in his school days for getting by with it, has just reaped a large fortune form the unforseen effects hundred thousand dollars which she regrettably became eligible to, when she sprained her ankle last month. The Holy Hotel, owned and operated by Archie M. Weferling, was again raided for serving seeds in their olives last night. R. R. Russell, local dealer in rags, bags, and bottles of ?, has been elected chairman of the Rotary Club. Miss Sarah Randall, versatile tight-rope walker for Ringling Brothers Circus, recently fell and broke her scapula-clavicular articulation. Those who knew Sarah in-her high school days will doubtless smile, but it's true- time changes all. Miss Marjorie Armstrong recently passed through King City as escort to a troupe of young orphans from the slums of San Francisco, on a tour of the Pacific Coast. Miss Armstrong has done much good work in this line, and says she expects to devote the rest of her life to it. Contrary to all former expectations, Dora Giacomazzi has not been remarried for ten years, and is still getting along very well with her husband. No hard words have passed between us for twenty minutes, she stated. Another proof for the theory that you never can tell l A Jan Martinus and Ernest Lane.

I JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Merely ten juniors returned to school from their all too short vacation. The fact that they would be upper classmen and models of behaviour for their freshman and sophomore brothers may have been the cause of their absence. However, the jolly juniors have not allowed this burden to rest heavily upon them, but have indeed carried it as lightly as they could. As the year progressed others drifted in, but finding the demands of school life too great, soon departed. Nevertheless, the junior class has acquired a total of seventeen members. This is the smallest junior class on record for several years. At a meeting held the first day of school the following officers were elected: Elizabeth Shuey, presidentg Ione Pierce, vice-presi- dentg Irene Eade, secretaryg and Marie Chiocca, treasurer. The class has been under the direction of Miss Bertha Nielsen. As their stunt in the program at the Freshman Reception, the juniors presented a Roman Gladiatorial Contest in which the in- trepid gladiators were Charles Carlson and Clyde Davis. In an endeavour to raise money the class held a home made LA COPA'DE Ono candy sale. The excellence of the girls as candy cooks was proved by the rapidity with which the supply disappeared within a few minutes after the sale opened. The girls also helped to cool hot, dry rooters' throats by selling ice cream at the Pacific Grove foot- ball game Of the few boys in the class, two have made both the football and heavyweight basketball squads. Harold Henry played in the football games regularly throughout the entire season. In track the juniors expect to have at least one star, for Leslie Hables has shown ability in this line in previous years. The girls have done their share in the entertaining of visiting teams. The preparaiton of the eats for them is quite an appetiz- ing affair. In the interclass contest for securing subscriptions to f'King Hi-Ways, the junior class was the first to go over the top. This they did within three hours after the opening of the contest. In the preparation for the annual Athletic Dance, Elizabeth Shuey, class president, was chairman of the supper committee of which several juniors were members. The decoration committee for the dance was composed mostly of juniors and they also had charge of the punch. ' Juniors are members of all school organizations: the Science Clubg the King Hi-Way staffg the Annual staffg the Honor Society: and the glee club. They hold the following offices: yell leader of the student body, vice-president of the P. A. L., and secretary of the Honor Society. Seven juniors are in the cast of Barbarossa of Barbary, the musical comedy to be presented by the Glee Club. At a recent meeting, the class chose purple and gold for colors, and the gladiola for the class flower. The one big event for the rest of the year is the Junior Prom which is given in honor of the seniors. The class plans to make this Prom a memorable one.

These students, having eagerly participated in all school activities as freshmen, entered with a determination to make the year an outstanding one in every way. Officers for the year are: Alvin Hables, presidentg Virgil Campbell, vice-presidentg Audrey Zoellin, secretaryg Bernice Powell, treasurerg and Miss Bertha Knapp, class advisor. For the Freshman Reception, the first social event of the year, the sophomores willingly offered their help. Several members act- ed on the decoration committee, while almost the entire class helped to put the class stunt over. ' In order to raise money for the class treasury, the sophomores sold ice cream and assisted in the hot dog sale during the Monterey County Fair, which was held in King City in October. In Novem- ber, through the courtesy of Mr. Hables, they sponsored the picture. Barbara Frietchien, and again added to the class fund. As a reward for participating in school activities several of the boys have been awarded the block. The following received blocks: Alvin Hables, Virgil Campbell, Rudolph Gil, Abel Sober- anes, Donald Cassin, and Buster Walker. Abel Soberanes was the only one who received the circle. P I ip LA COPA rm Oreo Audrey Zoellin, Alvin Hables, and Emmy Lou Rood represent the sophomore class in the honor society. Two of the leading rolls of the farce, Dave's Baby, presented by this society November 25, were carried by Alvin I-lables and Emmy Lou Rood. The play was repeated in Greenfield with a revised cast, but with the sophomores again taking an active part. After the football game between Pacific Grove and 'King City, a supper was prepared and served by the sophomore girls. The girls of the class also assisted in the preparation and serving of the refreshments for the Athletic Dance held in January. The follow- ing month the class assisted in the preparation of the Father and Son Banquet. The boys of the class have taken active part in football, basket- ball, baseball, and track. Those who were on the football squad were: Captain Abel Soberanes, Donald Cassin, Alvin Hables, Robert Parsons, Rudolph Gil, Raymond Walker, and Virgil Campbell. In basketball the class was represented by: Raymond Walker, Abel Soberanes, Robert Parsons, Rudolph Gil, Virgil Campbell, and Alvin Hables. By Emmy Lou Rood. ..T,0..

Of course we were green, timid, and bashful as is customary under such circumstances. The trials of the first semester proved too much for several of the group and our class is now smaller than when we started. At the first class meeting, we elected Alice Diggs, president: Dorothy Eade, vice-presidentg Marlyn Lotz, secretary-treasurer. We voted to have class meetings every two weeks. A committee was appointed to draw up a class constitution, but they were both dis- pensed With.. ' On the 18th of September we were given a Freshman Reception by the upper classmen. Of course we were made to do things we didn't like to do, but a good time followed in spite of that fact. A program was given in which each class put on a stunt. The fresh- man class stunt, directed by Mr. Keeler, class advisor, consisted of simgs, and a mind reading stunt put on by the members of the c ass. LA COPA ni-: ORD The class was well represented in athletics, especially in basket ball. The lightweight team, championship winners, consistec mostly of freshmen: George Rosario, Walter Herbert, Elmer'G1a ozzini, Marion Mansfield, Edgar Brownlee, and n 'the football team the freshmen were repre sented by Virgil Reed.

It is an organization of the students by which their activities may be carried on, and student government may be practiced. In former years the council has nominated all the student of- ficers for the various school activities. This year the council changed this item, in that the staff for the annual was selected by the council from volunteers, and the selection submitted to the student body for approval. Another important accomplishment of the year was the purchase of a printing plant on which the an- nual and the school paper are printed. Those holding office for this school year are: Kenneth Mans- field, presidentg Jan Martinus, vice-presidentg Joseph Garner, sec- retaryg Juliette Lacrabere, girls' athleticsg Clifton Beasley, boys' athleticsg Marjorie Armstrong, town representativeg Clara Pierce, south bus representativeg and Dorothy Rogers, north bus repre- sentative. i LA COPA Di O 2-'H ANNUALSTAFFJ One of the weightiest of school activities-namely, that of publishing a true record of the school year-falls to the lot of the annual staff. It has been customary for the Executive Council to nominate candidates from whom the student body has theireliegted the staff. This year the mfmbers have been selected by a plan quite different from that usu xlly followed. In order to get students who had ability and wanted to work, the volunteer system was used. This issue of La Copa dc Oro has been printed on the school press ratlicr than at the commercial print shop-a fact vvliich has necessitated the change in the size of the annual and which has made possible its publication Without the customary selling of ads.

It was formed in October 1923 by the girls under the guidance of Miss McCul1y, the physical educa- tion director at that time, and is the local sub-division of the Girls' Coast Counties Athletic League. Our local league is also a mem- ber of the Inter-scholastic Federation of Girls' Leagues of the Central Coast Counties. The main purpose of the G. C. C. A. L. is to further standards of athletics for all the girls of the league, while the Inter-scholastic Federation fosters the idea of service, personal ideals of good liv- ing, and scholarship. Most all of the high schools of the central coast counties are members of both organizations. The G. C. C. A. L. has several meetings during the year. Physical education di- rectors and student representatives from the various schools attend these and plan the activities for the year. The Federation holds only one annual conference, to which all league members are in- vited. The officers this year are: Grayce Gould, presidentg Margaret Bullard, vice-presidentg Marjorie Armstrong, secretary-treasurerg Juliette Lacrabere, yell leaderg and Miss Mildred Carr and Miss Bertha Nielsen, faculty advisors. I I p In LA COPA Di: Ono HONOR SOCIETY The purpose of this organization, as expressed in the constitu- tion of the state federation, is to foster a high standard of scholar- ship and general attainment on the part of the students of the sec- ondary schools of California. The Honor Society of K. C. U. H. S., Chapter No. 70 of the California Scholarship Federation, was the first among many high schools in the surrounding districts to enter the organization. , Members of the society have the privilege of wearing a silver pin bearing the insignia of the federation, and students who have been in the chapter for six semesters are entitled to the official solid gold C. S. F. pin. Members who received the gold pin this year are Marjorie Armstrong and Joseph Garner. Members of the society for the first semester were: Emmy Lou Rood, Florence Franscioni, Dorothy Rogers, Audrey Zoellin, Mar- garet Bullarcl Marjorie Armstrong, Edna Melendy, Joseph Garner, Kenneth Mansfield, and Alvin Hables. At the first meeting of the year, the following officers were elected: Marjorie Armstrong, presidentg Audrey Zoellin, vice-presidentg Margaret Bullard, secre- taryg Emmy Lou Rood, trasurer. Miss Lela Bullock is faculty ad- visor. IA COPA DE Oreo KING H1-WAYS STAFF This year has witnessed the establishment of the school paper, King Hi-Ways, as a regular publication by the students. It is the first in the history of the school that has endured for any length of time. Th8blJ3.IJ91' printed on the multigrziph last your represented the beginning of the present publication. Through experience which the staff gained from this work, the paper has been improved until it is now one that is truly representative of ew school. It serves as an organ by which not only the students but the townspeople are l-:ept in close touch with high school, grzimmur school, and brunch school, as well as community activities. J, The present publication appears semi-monthly and contains four pages. Whenever the news justifies it, enlzugedgjzmcl some- times extra editions appear. The paper, which has a circulation of about four hundred, is financed by the student body and printed by Mr. Williams' printing class. The staff for the year has been: Kenneth Mansfield, editorg Joseph Garner, assistant editor, Marjorie Armstrong, exchange editor, Margaret Bullard, Leslie Hablcs. Virgil Campbell, ia-- porters, and Miss Mildred Carr, faculty advisor. LA Form me Ono l SCIENCE CLUB A Science Club, with the object of fostering the study of sci' ence for the educational, recreational, and cultural development of its members and the extention of its scientific knowledge to others, was organized September 29. It was really an outgrowth of the Science Club of last year with a larger membership and a more definite plan of action, in that it adopted a constitution and elected officers. Those holdizfg' office during the first semester were: Jan Martinus, presidentg Ernest Lune, vice-presidentg and Joseph Garn- er, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Warner, science teacher, was the fac- ulty advisor. W During January and February, a number of educational photo- plays were put on at the Reel Joy Theater through the generosity of Mr. Hables. The public, high school, and upper grades of the grammar school were invited to these pictures which were financed by voluntary contributions. Unfortunately, the club disbanded during the second semester due to lack of interest on the part of the students. While the club functioned, it proved to be one of the most successful ones in the history of the school. It is hoped that next year such a club will be established on firmer foundations and that it will become a permanent institution of the school. '. LA COPA DE Ono GLEE CLUB In previous years the boys and girls interested in glee club work have been organized into two distinct groups, but this year they are joined into one fairly good sized class of fourteen members -seven girls and seven boys. They are: Lillian Beyer, Clara and Ione Pierce, Audrey Zoellin, Elizabeth Shuey, Edna Melendy, Mar- jorie Armstrong, Ray Peterson, Tom Brown, Bill Luckett, Donald Cassin, Rudolph Gil, Abe Hables, and Ernest Lane. They meet every Tuesday and Thursday at the fifth period under the direction of Mr. Leslie E. Webb. The club made its first appearance at the Freshman Reception in September, and since that time has sung at a number of school gatherings. At the Father and Son Banquet the boys' quintet gave several selections. In January the male quartet appeared in con- nection with the Parent-Teachers' Association program given by the high school in Greenfield. The biggest undertaking sponsored by the club this year was the musical comedy in two acts entitled Barbarossa of Barbary, which was presented March 26 at the grammar school auditorium. The glee club was assisted in this presentation by some thirty other high school students in the Algerian, Spanish, and J ackies choruses, but all of the leads except one were played by the club members. LA COPA na OR0 VOCA TIONAL A SHOP During the past year the shop, under the direction of Mr. Watts, has turned out a great variety of furniture. The work done in the department has been to a great extent of a very practical nature. It has helped the school out in a great many Ways and has represented the school in the best way possible wherever the work has gone. A number of tables of various types, sizes and for various purposes have been made. A large table was made for the print- ing department. Several library tables, some extension, dining tables, and several drop leaf tables were also made. Several chests, desks, and cabinets of divers kinds have been built. One or two large kitchen cabinets were made and installed, and some very nice radio cabinets have been built. Abel Soberanes showed the quality of the work of the department by taking a second prize at the state fair on a cedar chest. Quite a number of smaller pieces have been made, such as pic- ture frames, floor and table lamps, candlesticks and bowls. A great deal of the Work done by the shop each year is not seen by the public because it does not appear as an exhibit. Among the projects carried out this year was the scenery forthe musical comedy, Barbarossa of Barbary, the painting of lines in the gym- nasium and on the tennis courts, the painting of the fence along the front walk, the building of the bleachers on the football field, and the setting of the sundail in concrete. ' The shop department along with other departments of the school took first place for high school exhibits at the last Monterey County Fair. A n Lloyd Thayer '26, PRINTING At the beginning of the year the idea of having a printing plant was but a vague one drifting about the school. Howeverfit was not long before Mr. Williams had the school enthusiastic over a printing plant which was owned by the Tracy High student body. After an Executive Council meeting an assembly was called by President Kenneth Mansfield. It 'was at this meeting that the students endorsed the matter. A few days later the press arrived LA COPA DE Ono and was set up in an unused shop room. This plant has been used in printing school jobs and the school paper, King Hi-Ways. The Big problem of the year was that of printing the school annual. At first thought this seemed out of the question, but as the year moved on the class was able to dispose of school jobs and the school paper. Then the idea occurred of the saving that could be brought about by printing the school annual. The project seem- ed a good one, so work began early in the second semester. The first printing was done on the press purchased from Tracy High, but it proved to be too small and the work was not of the best. After again considering the matter the student body decided to turn the old press over to the School Board and to add a new and larger one to the printing department. Consequently, a new press was purchased and was received during the first week of the third quarter. This addition has given the class the opportunity of operating two presses, thus greatly facilitating the printing of the annual, and it has given the department a printing plant which compares favorably with those of much larger schools. George A. Sargenti '27. COMMERCIA 1. The commercial department, with a much larger enrollment this year over previous years, has progressed very nicely under the supervision of Miss Knapp. ,. In the typing department there are thirteen typewriters-nine Underwood and four Remington. Dora Giacomazzi and Lillian Byers, second year students, have both received silver pins for at- taining fifty words per minute. Edna Melendy and Emmy Lou Rood, both of the beginning class, received bronze pins for making forty words per minute. Edna Melendy, Willetta Benadom and Emmy Lou Rood rep- resented the novice class, and Lillian Byers and Dora Giacomazzi represented the unlimited class in the typing contest held at Salinas, April 17. Although none of them made very good records, they reported that they had excellent ,experience by entering the con- test. Students of the second year shorthand class have received some practical training by taking dictation from Mr. Williams. Several students have been planning to enter the shorthand 1 LA4f'nP'11E Orff. S h 0 P Ln COPA Dr-7 Oreo contest to be held in King City. They will probably make a bet- ter showing than in the typing, since they will take the test in their home surroundings. - The multigraph purchased last year by the student body has been added to the equipment of the commercial department. It has been used considerably by the students of several departments. Emmy Lou Rood '28, HOME: ECONOMICS An effort has been made by those enrolled in this department to co-operate with the various departments of the school in every way possible, thus making themselves felt as an important factor in the successful accomplishments of the school as a whole. The students in domestic science take the subject ten forty- five minute periods per week. Most of the class period is spent in actual preparation of food and in planning and serving of balanced meals. Table etiquette and the writing of invations also form part of the course. Sometime has been spent on preparation of breakfast, lunch- eon and dinner dishes. The high school cafeteria has afforded an excellent opportunity for the girls to put into practical appli- cation the knowledge gained in class work. The class with the able assistance of the other girls of the school have prepared and served ten or more luncheons to visiting football and basketball teams, and served at the Fathers and Sons banquet. The sewing department of the school gives the girls a prac- tical knowledge of textiles and their manipulation in the making of Various wearing apparel and miscellaneous articles. The first year class is concerned mostly with the quality of the work while in the second year speed is considered almost as important. The exhibit given by the Domestic Art class at the 1925 King City Fair showed the excellent work done by both the first and second year classes. Many of the girls have put their knowledge into practical use by making clothes for members of the family and for friends. By so doing they not only earn extra spending money but acquire great confidence in their work. Edith Chambers.

A. L. ACTIVITIES Many are the activities that have been carried out by the girls during the last three years. Following the formation of the Play- ers' Athletic League a fitting constitution was drawn upg and each year has not only added its beneficial projects, but has definitely advanced the movement toward student control which was the first incentive for a girls' league. In 1924 the Pals received the presidency of the Inter-scholastic Federation of Girls' Leagues of the Central Coast Counties. Thus, on November 14 and 15, they were hostesses to about seventy girls from other schools. This is the biggest enterprise the girls have undertaken. On May 2, 1925, an enjoyable Play Day was held at Santa Cruz. The girls attending made the trip in the school bus the eve- ning of May 1. They returned home the following afternoon, bring- ing with the the Appearance Banner which they had won with the help of their uniform gym suits. The Pals feel that this year has indeed added its share of achievements. Early this fall uniform dress was consideredg and by January 1, uniforms, consisting of blue-black skirts, white middies with blue-black collars and cuffs, black ties, and black shoes and stockings, were adopted. The uniforms have greatly im- proved the general appearance of the Pals, and they have also prov- ed so convenient that the girls feel justified in sponsoring this move- ment which has become so very popular throughout the entire state. Most of the schools in the coast league have adopted uniform dress very similar to that worn by the Pals. . On December 9, a pay assembly was held to raise money for the P. A. L. treasury. A one-act fantasy, The Maker of Dreams, by Oliphant Downs, was the main feature of the program. The characters were well played by Hazel Gruver, as the Maker of Dreams himself, Emmy Lou Rood, as fairy-like Pierretteg and Grayce Gould as Pierrot, her lover. The playlet was accompanied by a Spanish dance, a Sleigh Bells dance, and several musical numbers. I A bazaar and food sale was held on December 12. The sewing and art classes contributed many useful things such as fancy work ,.,gf344:12- . . Ln Copa DE -Oreo I ! I 6121.96 Bella I I Werrot I I 'md QU-ffl ffm .

The net proceeds from dues and these two projects amounted to 555642. With the assistance of the shop boys, who contributed hangers, rods, and shelves, the girls furnished a costume store room for the school in the store room at the end of the east quad. Many of the old costumes of previous years were remodeled and made usable, and more than thirty new ones have been added. Many of the girls attended the Federation Conference which was held at Santa Cruz on November 13 and 14. The evening of their arrival a Costume Jolly Up was held in the high school auditorium. A stunt program in which each school took part added greatly to the fun. Saturday morning a business meeting was held, and in the afternoon the girls enjoyed a program in which each school contributed a number. The Pals are now looking forward to a league meeting to be held at Asilomar in April, with the Pacific Grove girls as hostesses. From the plans that are being made, this event promises to be one of the most delightful in the history ofthe league. The Pals will go to Asilomar, The Retreat by the Sea, Friday afternoon, and will return late Saturday. As Asilomar is especially adapted to outdoor sports a good time is assured. Although the Big Sister Movement has not been adopted as yet, it ishoped that before the year closes all plans concerning it will be complete, so that next fall each new freshman girl will find a 'iBig Sister ready to welcome her and help her get acquaint- ed with high school life. The last two meetings of the year are to be devoted to this work. The names of all eighth grade girls in the district schools who are expecting to enter K. C. U. H. S. will be obtained, and a Big Sister selected from among the junior and senior girls, will be assigned to each new girl. Another topic of great interest to the Pals is a point system for athletic awards. At the G. C. C. A. L. meeting, January 23, the following awards for all schools in the league were recommended: a four-inch felt numeral for 300 pointsg a six-inch block letter for 600 points, with color according to school, and a gold ring or p.n of special design for 1000 points. A general plan for the earning of points has been submitted and a committee is now working to adapt it to our own school.

W illiam Luckett Benjamin Moore ........................................... ........... C lifton Beasley Kitty Benders, an actress .............................,.................. Hazel Gruver The Arrival of Kitty is a three act comedy. The plot centers about the fact that in accordance with the will of Jane's father, William Winkler is to secure 510,000 if he engineers the marriage of Jane to Benjamin Moore, a stranger to all concerned. The humorous complications which arise from Jane's serious objections to this plan for her future include many cases of mistaken idertity. One of the exciting climaxes of the play is reached when Fobbie Baxter, at the suggestion of Ting, dresses as Kitty Benders This results in great embarrassment for William Winkler, who is sup- posed to have had an affair with her which he is trying to keep from the knowledge of his straight laced sister-in-law. The financial affairs of William Winkler become more interesting and exciting when he receives the generous offer of 310,000 from his maiden sister-in-law to secure her a soulmate to prevent her the humiliation of going through life unwooed, unloved, and unwon. A happy combination is reached when Benjamin Moore finally 'agrees to accept Aunt Jane, instead of her niece Jane, thus carrying out the provisions of the will. Jane is then free to marry Bobbie Baxter, the man of her choice. Winkler receives the 320,000, and Kitty retires from the stage to help him spend it. The production is under the direction of Miss Lela Bullock. Hazel Gruver proved herself one of the most versatile and clever actresses in school by successfully performing one of the hardest dual roles known to the stage, that of a vivacious young actress and a cranky old woman.

The program consisted of stunts put on by each of the classes. The seniors presented a short scene centering around a marriage ceremony in which the letters of the alphabet were used instead of words. The junior class gave a demonstration of a gladiatorial contest in which Charles Carlson and Harold Henry were the main participants. The members of the sophomore class, using impro- vised instruments of every kind, disturbed the audience with several numbers. Last but not least the freshmen class entertained by mind reading stunts, acrobatic stunts, and several vocal selections. Following the program, a dance was held in the gymnasium. Refreshments of cookies and punch were served by a committee of upper classmen. FATHER AND SON BANQUET The Father and Son Banquet was held Wednesday evening, February 3, in the high school gymnasium under the auspices of the Woman's Club. It was the first gathering of its type in the history of the school, and had as its aim the fostering of a spirit of co-operation, mutual helpfulness and good fellowship between fathers and sons of the community. The planning of the menu and the preparation of the food was done by the club members under the direction of Mrs. H. O. Wil- liams, Chairman. Members of the student body and the faculty of the high school rendered valuable co-operation and assistance to the Woman's Club toward making the banquet such a huge success. A group of students with Jan Martinus as chairman assumed the responsibility for the reception of the guests. The gymnasium was artistically decorated by a committee com- posed of Abe Hables, Jan Martinus, Willis Tompkins and Harold Henry, under the direction of Miss Lela Bullock. L4 Copa mr Oreo A valentine scheme of decoration was followed throughout. Red and white streamers of crepe paper radiated from a large hoop suspended from the center of the room. The long tables were ar- rangd in the form of a cross. Red cupids, hearts and baskets of flowers, and dainty sprigs of smilax on the tables gave evidence of the artistic ability of the girls of the high school. The program which followed the dinner was planned by Mr. Williams, who acted as toastmaster of the evening. Short, interest- ing talks by representatives of the various communities were inter- spersed with musical numbers. The climax of the program was reached when Dr. Stoltz of the State Board of Education delivered his address, Building Better Men. A At the conclusion of the program, the members of the party became the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Hables, at the Reel Joy Theater. In speaking of the banquet, Dr. Stoltz said that, although he had attended many Father and Son banquets, he had attended none more efficiently managed, attractive decorated or quickly served. It was the unanimous opinion of those present that the banquet had achieved its purpose of bringing the fathers and sons of south- ern Monterey bounty into closer association. It is to be hoped that the attempt will be repeated and the banquet made an annual affair. ATHLETIC DANCE The Athletic Dance which was held in the high school gym- nasium on January 27 proved to be one of the most outstanding social events of the school year. The somewhat dreary aspect that our local center of athletic activities carries was changed to one of cheerfulness and beauty by a committee headed by Duck Henry who decorated it in our school colors. The music was furnished by the Paso Robles Orchestra. Much praise must be extended to those girls of the P. A. L. who greatly aided the financial successfulness of the dance by serving a most delicious supper in the school cafeteria at mid-night. LA COPA Ds Ono SENIOR PARTY One of the most enjoyable social events of the year was the senior party given by Mr. and Mrs. H. O. Williams at the Guild Hall, February 15. Most of the evening was spent in playing Dutch Whist and dancing. Dorothy Hawley and Orvil Goodwine carried off first prizes in Dutch Whist, while Hazel Gruver and Wyllis Tompkins won the distinction of being sharks by taking home the booby prizes. Shortly after the guests had arrived Mr. Williams promised to tell them a true experience from his life. So after the prizes were awarded he related his thrilling narrative while the class grouped .themselves around him, seated in the kindergarten chairs. This exciting story is one that the seniors will not soon forget. It might be said there was a catch to it. However, judging from the pale appearance of the girls, and the serious looks of the boys, it must have been interesting. The group was in a general uproar when the narrative was concluded. - A most delightful banquet was served shortly before midnight. The table was very attractively arranged in pastel shades. Jokes and talks added much to the hour. A Charleston contest concluded the entertainment for the evo- niiig. Grayce Gould and Joe Garner proved toibe the stars, with Hazel Gruver and William Luckett close seconds. ' Q Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Warner and Miss Lela Bullock assisted Mr. Williams in making the evening a success. SOP!-IOIVIORE FRESHMAN PARTY As a result of being the two losing classes in the paper sub- scription campaign, the Freshmen and Sophomores are planning to give the upper classmen a party, April 23. A short program is be- ing planned under the supervision of Emmy Lou Rood assisted by Miss Knapp. Several stunts will take place between dances. A punch committee has been appointed by Virgil Campbell, who is the chairman of the general committee. With the Californians as the orchestra the lower classmen hope to make this one of the biggest social events of the year. '- 1.

Be silent, do not disturb the awed stillness as night quietly steals among the crags and precipices of his battle ground of the gods. Hushed are all the voices of nature as darkness hovers in every dell while far above, boldly outlined, stand the spires of God's cathedral. Look, on a distant rocky shelf a gigantic pine bows its head, gazing dismally into the black abyss of the canyon seeing there, perhaps, the wanderings of lost souls. Darker, ever darker, it grows, the stillness, unbroken becomes unbearable. The air is chilled. Gazing with stoney features into the east sits the Indian, a gigantic natural monument to the last race who once lurked among these mighty cliffs. The trees shud- blackness reigns supreme. Far atop the highest spire a faint ugnt gummers, growing ever orignter. A cricket chirps. the whip- poor-will sends his quivering call echoing through the canyon. A hushed sigh escapes from the night prisoned land as the moon floods the peaks with her soft silvery light. Nature breathes once more. A FABLE A young fish named Percival lived in a secluded pool in the Salinas River with his relatives, his friends and his enemies. Now thisyoung fish had a great liking for imparting news. At the post-office and similar gathering places, he was wont to tell everything that he knew, and, after he had exhausted his store of knowledge Cwhich was soonl, to tell much more which he did not know. Some of this news was relayed to Pcrcy's parents by fish with inclinations akin to those of Percy. Then the young fish was af- fectionately but severely reprimanded for repeating the family gossip. A sudden and effective cure of such traits was accomplish- ed by the paternal head of the family in the rear of the tool shed. After which Percival Sr. grasped him by the fin, and, after ex- LA Copa Ds Ono pressing the firm conviction that it was all for little Percy's own good, admonished him to keep his mouth shut in imitation of wise fish. A few days after the cure had been affected, Percival and another fish, the most brilliant scholar in the Shrimp School which they both attended, were floating along when they both saw a Shiny Something with a worm draped upon it. The brilliant student undertook the task of showing Percy how such things were en- countered. Opening his mouth he attacked the worm and disap- peared with it, Shiny Something, and all. Young Percival went home alone a great deal wiser fish, and with the idea that there really was something in what Percival Sr. had said about it being all for your own good in that memorable scene behind the parental tool shed. Moral : The fish who keeps his mouth shut doesn't get caught. Margaret Bullard '27. IN THE WOODS John Smith had finished his school work for the day, and as he came upstairs to his room he met his roommate, Frank, who was dressed in his hiking clothes. Where are you going? inquired John. Hiking Want to come along? - Sure I'll go, though I must get back in about forty-five min- utes for a meeting of the lower class boys. So John went to get his hiking togs while Frank waited down stairs. W Outside immense dark clouds were appearing, but neither of the boys noticed these as they started on their hike toward the woods. Let's go by way of the river, said Frank. Yes, that's the shortest way to the woods, agreed John. So both boys hurried to the river about three quarters of a mile from the schoolhouse. They had to cross the river by means of a footbridge made from a log which had fallen across it. The boys soon were in the midst of the woods where they be- came so interested in throwing rocks at the squirrels and climbing trees for birds eggs that they did not notice that the sky was grow- ing dark. Suddenly they were startled by a tremendous crash overhead LA Com DE Oreo and a vivid flash of lightning. A few large drops spattered thru the trees, and then the storm was upon them-a cloudburst it was, hat seemed, as John suggested, to be spilling the entire contents of the Pacific Ocean upon their heads. Both boys started in the direction of the schoolhouse, but they could not see ten feet ahead and could not even tell if they were on the right trail. Finally Frank discovered that they were back in the midst of the Woods again. Why, we must be going around in circles, , he exclaimed, but his words were unheard by John who was taking a different path. So Frank, thinking he might be a better guide, followed. What's that noise?',' shouted Frank, stopping suddenly as a loud roaring reached ,their ears. Advancing more cautiously the boys found they were on the very bank of the river and the water was a swirling, seething, mass carrying all before it. . What are we going to do now? The footbridge is washed away, gasped Frank. All we can do is wait until the river goes down, said John hope- lessly. It's too dark to do any wandering. I Tired, out and thoroughly drenched the two boys waited for what seemed to them hours. Finally the rain stopped falling and the blackness which seemed to envelop them cleared lslightly. Look- ing across the river Frank saw lanterns bobbing and someone call- ing their names. - A Here we are, he yelled. They were answered by a loud hallo . Better come back to'shelter, someone cried. We can't get across, J ohn, yelled, back. Well, don't you fellows know 'there is a'bridge about a quarter of a mile up stream? came back the answer. 1 ' Both boys looked astonished for they did not know of any large bridge near that could have withstood the storm. But as they were new in the district they decided aftera hasty consultation to ex- plore the bank in spite of the dark. Cautiously they groped their way about a quarter of a mile and there sureenough was ua bridge. A p When they got to the other side and met their fellow compan- ions they wereiteased a great deal for getting lost and waiting for thpc rivcrnto go clown, for this process usually took several days. ' Inez Metzlcr 'za LA COPA r-E Ono THE STORY TELLER There is hardly a section of the country without its story teller, an interesting figure, voluble, picturesque, with his ever ready story for those friends who gather around him on the chance oc- casions that bring them together. Although he tells each story many times ffor there could hardly be enough different ones to keep him suppliedl he never lacks an audience, because he unfailingly picks the one that will best bring out old memories. Then, too, he rarely tells a story in which he is not the hero, or at least one of those present, thus bringing the laughs and memories around again. while admiring friends probably make the same remarks or jests they made when the story happened. It is this quality, rather than the story itself, that gives the local story-teller listeners, for it seems that his stories seldom interest outsiders. My grandfather, known as John More, of Pleyto, Cprobably you know himj, was quite a story teller in his day. He came from Old England when he was a boy, after working in the coal mines, and he Was the local preacher of Pleyto for a good many years, holding church in the living room of his house every Sunday. Like most preachers, he devoutly believed in education and what it stands for. I-Ie used to tell me stories in our leisure hours, and I am going to tell you what seemed to be his favorite, one which I believe he has told me at least a dozen times. Probably the next time I see him he will tell it again. On arriving home from school, I nearly always met him on the porch, where he used to sit in the evening: ll Another day done, Ernie, he would remark. Yeah: And 'ow many lickings did you get today? llNOnC.!7 ll What grade are you in now, Ernie? Sixth, l've got two and a half years more, and Fm through. Arcn't you going to 'igh school, Ernie?

Indeed there will. Ernest Lane '26. MORGAN'S REST Away in the hills so far back that one would scarcely expect to find any signs of civilization, a little weather-beaten cabin nestles against the mountainside. Close to this little shelter a herd of wild deer were drinking at their favorite watering hole in the icy cold stream that trickled down the mountain side, coveys of quail flut- tered about from vine to vine, feeding on the juicy wild blackberries. while small four-footed creatures scampered among the flowers and ferns below. In the cabin an old man in boots and overalls pecked away at a 1901 typewriter. So engrossed was he in the tale he was weaving that he paid little attention to the barking of his dog. Not until the knock at the door was repeated, did he tear himself away from his work. Expecting his caller to be his nearest neighbor, who had a cabin fifteen miles or more away, he was surprised to find a stranger. Morgan hospitably insisted that his visitor stay and have din- ner with him. He enjoyed getting news from the outside worldg L1 COPQ ns Oreo and the two men spent a pleasant evening together. Curiosity, however, got the best of the visitor. He wanted to know what kept Morgan in the hillsg so he asked him. Well, said Morgan, I was a very heavy drinker for years. One night I got into a drunken brawl and disgraced my family. The next morning when I woke up and realized what I had done, I left for the hills. I have been here for the last twenty years now, and I don't think I shall ever want to go back. The stranger tried to convince Morgan that people forget such things, that he ought to come out and see the great changes in the world. Morgan, however, stuck to his belief and the stranger left him to contemplate what he had said. Two weeks later a very tall man dressed in an alpaca coat and gray striped trousers, steeped in the odor of moth balls, appeared in the town which he had left so many years before. With curling mustache waxed stiff and his goatee neatly trimmed, he was all ready to go to San Francisco. He left on the stage, alpaca coat, striped trousers, moth balls and all. A few days later Morgan returned, wearing bell-bottom trous- ers and all the other accessories of a shiek. He had seen so much and heard so much, and was so excited over every thing that he would talk to anyone who would listen to him. Going back to the hills? asked the friendly stage driver. Yes, for another twenty years, answered Morgan. He did go back, but in less than a week he had moved into town with his 1901 typewriter. And there he sits still pecking away at the stories that wont sell. FROM MOUNTAIN TOPS After a clear, bright, summer day I like nothing better than to mount my little black horse about four o'clock in the afternoon and ride for the mountain tops. There is usually a cool, refreshing sea breeze about this time of day, and I find nothing more pleasant than winding up rugged steep trails, over rock ledges, around laurel thicl-zets, and through sweet smelling pine groves. If the right trails are chosen,the ocean may be seen continually by therider while making the ascent. When an altitude of about three thousand feet is reached, the trees, canyons, ridges, tiny valleys, and the white rimmed shore of the ocean appear far belowg a minature world, it La COPA I 5 Uno seems, strange and utterly detatched from all I know. I gaze upon it with wonder, while the events of a turbulent week softly fade to the gentle accompaniment of wind through the pines mingling with the rythmic lap of waves on the far away beach. While I muse, the scene changes, becoming most beautiful just as the sun slowly sinks into the quiet ocean. The sky along the horizon, here and there enriched by banks of fog or fleecy clouds. turns many shades of orange mixed with violet, blue, and tints of pink. Amid this blazing glory the sun goes slowly down, taking first the shape of a huge ball of fire, and then as it slides lower forming with its reflection in the water what appears to be a huge Japanese lantern. Lower and lower it sinks, while the lantern be- comes wider and widerg then all fades leaving but a tiny strip of gold on the water. Immediately the sky all along the horizon be- comes very much brighter, remaining so for about twenty minutes. and then darkness spreads over all the land. Soon the round moon ,creeps up over the mountain top, and again I find it pleasant to wind back down the rugged path towards home. The chirping of crickets, the croaking of frogs, the sound of the horse's hoofs on the stones, sometimes the bawl of a cow, or occasionally the wail of a coyote comes as a welcome reminder of the world to which I return. Elizabeth Shuey '27. YOSEMITE Have you ever visited that wonderful playground in California known as Yosemite National Park, where nature seems to have plac- ed a heaven on earth? If not, you have missed one of the happiest times of your life. It seems that God has collected some of the most beautiful works of nature and set them down in this little valley for us to enjoy. It is here one loses all earthly cares and lives only in the present. There are beautiful lakes, majes- tic pine and fir trees, magnificant waterfalls, and high cliffsg and a small river wends its way through the valley. El Capitan and Glacier Point are known the world over, while Mirror Lake is of equal fame. Bridal Veil Falls is perhaps the prettiest waterfall, but the Vernal, Nevada, and Yosemite falls are not to be overlooked. LA COPA Ds 'JRC During my vacation in this paradise I was most impressed by the tranquility and loving peace of human nature that seemed to exist so naturally there. It was no task at all to make friends, and after having been there a week one could not possibly have felt lonesome. There are as many recreations and amusements in Yosemite Park as there are wonders. In fact, there is an amusement to fit any whim one may have at any time. Horse back riding, swimming, hiking, tennis, golf, dancing, motoring, and fishing are among the numerous ways in which one may spend a pleasant day. The Indian Reservation and Museum are also places of great interest to the visitor, for it is at the museum that one may learn much concerning the history of the park, and, judging from the number of people who frequent the place, it seems that the Indian is always an interesting topic to the American. The climate during the summer months is usually very agree- able in Yosemite Valley. The occasional thunder storms and slight showers only tend to freshen the thick foliage of the woods, Where one often sees partridges, tree squirrels, elk, deer, and a few bears. If I were to write a whole book on Yosemite National Park I could not do justice to its magnificence and grandeur. No one can rexlize how much they have missed until they have seen it with their own eyes. . Grayce Gould '26 A HARD FALL It so happened one sunshiny afternoon that two girl friends in overalls drove up to the house. They called to me and said that they were going up on the hills to gather pine needles and wanted me to go with them. Elated over this unexpected trip, I rushed into the house, and, in order to be like the girls, squeezed into my high-watered overalls. Then into the cart I got, and off we started. We were not used to riding this way, so we had a fine time jogging along and picking the wild grapes that grew near the road side. I had just stood up to reach a particularly fine bunch when Ruth picked up the whip. Before I could sit down, the young coli X, -g LA COPA nn Ono we were driving lit out in a gallop through the brush. Small branches stung our faces as we bounced along, hitting every chuck hole in sight. It was all we could do to hang on. Then Laddie decided to stop. The next thing I knew I was lying sprawled out on the ground. The girls were hysterical with fright until they learned that I was none the worse for my spill. If you could only have seen how gracefully you bounced out of the cart I bet you would do it again, teased Ruth. However, I have never cared to tempt fate. Somehow I have a feeling that the next time I would not be so graceful and not one half so lucky. Velma Sayler '28. CLOUDS The clouds pass by all silver and light, Casting deep shadows like the twilight of nightg The green things change as the clouds pass by, And I regret their leaving and with the winds sigh. Cold winds rise before the clouds are gone, There is a lull, a crash, and then the storm. Furiously the clouds tumble through space Spitting their fury into man's cold face. They are harsh these two, the storm and Death: Leaves and flesh wither before their breathg Present everywhere in places of gloom, Kings and commons they hurl to their doom. William Luckett '26.

LA COPA nf: ORD FOOTBALL SQUAD Starting the football season with practically an inexperienced squad and handicapped by weight, King City gave a very good demonstration of her fighting ability. With 13 out of this year's squad back for next year, the prospects look much better for the coming season. This year's team was coached by Mr. Huebel, formerly of Mon- terey. It was through his efforts in working out a combination that King City was able to Win two out of the six games played. In the B section of the C. C. A. L., King City was third, losing to Pacific Grove and Monterey, and winning from Gilroy. The line-up for the greater part of the season was as follows: Soberanes, captain and fullbackg Walker, left halfg Giacomazzi, right halfg Garner, quarterback, Parsons, left endg Tompkins, left tackleg Martinus, left guarclg Henry, center 9 Cassin, right guardg Campbell, right tackle, Reid, right end. As subs, Hables, Carlson, Rosario, Mansfield, Gil, and Tindall were almost on a par with the first string men.

The team was com- posed mostly of freshmen and sophomores. Rosario was a great nucleus around which the team was built. He was easily the best center in the league besides being high point manj With Bianchi, Mozzini, and Hables as forwards, the team proved to be very strong offensively. In almost every game they completely baffled the opposing guards. Herbert, Mansfield, Gil, and Giacomazzi proved that King City's defensivewas also very good. Herbert's work at standing guard was very noticeable although he was seldom credited for his good playing. King City's hope for another championship heavy- weight team might come true again in 1927 because several of the lights will be heavies next year. - 'g A f The lightweights won ten games out of 13 played, whichzis a vcrygood record considering the long schedule. .

A This game was for the championship of the two sections. The Santa Cruz players were a little too good for our lights and so won the game. In the first half they held the Santa Cruz lights down although they scored little. King City 12 at Watsonville 8.

L., our attentions were centered on the organization of a track team. As it was in other sports of the year, the material was very much lacking, but the coaches, Mr. Huebel and Mr. 'VVebie. gradually developed a fairly well balanced team. Ourxfirst dual meet was held May 1 on the King City ovas with Paso Robles. The meet ended with a decisive victory for the visit- ing team by a score of 71 to 55. The individual stars for the home team were Abe Hables, Joe Garner, Virgil Reed, Willis Tompkins, Tindal, and Robles. Abe ran a beautiful race in the 880, covering the two laps in 2:07 and Winning by 10 yards. He took first in the 220 yard sprint breaking the tape in 23 5-10 seconds and added two points by tying' for second' in the high -j ump.

At the first Girls' Coast Coun- ties Athletic League meeting, a general athletic program for all schools in the league was planned. It was decided to carry out last year's plan for play days, in which all might participate, rather than the old plan of interschool competition for a chosen few. Basketball and volleyball were chosen as fall sports. These were to be followed by soccer or hockey, and baseball in the spring. Tennis was made an all year sport throughout the league for the first time. Ageneral point system providing for letter awards was discussed and at a later meeting recommended to all schools in the league. This plan for awards is especially interesting to the girls in that it provides for similar recognition of athletic achievement throughout the league. The awards recommended are: a four inch felt numeral for 300 points, a six inch block for 600 points, and a gold ring or pin of special design for 1000 points. Because of the variation in the size of the physical education departments in the league, only a general plan for the earning of points was possible. The Players' Athletic League of King City High is now at work on r A e LA CUPA DE OR-o Folk Dancing Baseball n ,L Tennis ,vv LA COPA DE Ono a point system which may be effectively used not only here, but in other schools of similar size in the league. Following the league program, basketball and volleyball groups were organized in August. After several weeks of basket- ball practice an interclass series was held, closing with the fresh- men girls in the lead. The captains for the squads were: Florence Franscioni, seniorg lone Pierce, junior: Juliette Lacrabere, sopho- moreg and Ida Bottini, freshman. Of all the sports of the year, tennis has probably had the larg- est and most enthusiastic following. The winter tournament clos- ed with Florence Franscioni and Sarah Randall in the lead. . Besides tennis, volleyball and soccer have been played on out- door fields. Volleyball has been a popular game with a number of the girls during the whole winter season. Soccer is still quite new, but since a field has been laid out by the geometry class, and more time to be devoted to this sport later in the spring, we shall undoubtedly find it becoming a favorite with a large group. Folk dancing was a new activity introduced into the physical education department at the beginning of the year. The work began with a number of simple dances done by all the girls, but as the year has gone on, special groups of the girls have learned more difficultdances, some of which have been done in costume for school programs. The girls who attended the meeting of the G. C. C. A. L. at Santa Cruz in November contributed as their part of the program for entertainment Seven Jumps and an Irish Jig. Sleigh Bells, done in white costume with bells, and the Jig have been a favorite num- ber on several occasions. Physical education as a whole has been thoroughly enjoyed by all the girls in the department and they feel that the year has brought them many social as well as physical benefits.

A 'K Ik Pk HF' Q U ll L I ' Ln COPA ns ORO SAN ANTONIO BRANCH KING CITY UNION HIGH SCHOOL San Antonio is a high school and a grammar school combined, the high school being a part of the King City Union High School Schoolwhile the grammar school is made up of many surrounding districts. There are now eleven students in the San Antonio Union High School, including the freshman and sophomore years. For the last three years, the school had been ably conducted under the supervision of Mr. E. Patterson. Students come as far as twenty- five miles to attend the high school, some coming from the Hesperia and Bryson Districts. The school grounds contain about four acres. It has two baseball diamonds, one for the girls and one for the boys, and basketball courts one for the girls and one for the boys. The school house, shop, pump house, and other buildings occupy the southern part of the school grounds, while the general play grounds take up the remaining space. Our school colors are green and White, and our school song is, Green and White-O, sung to the tune of Boola Boola. Claude Watson '29 Our social events have not been many this year, but those we have had have been successful. On Friday, October thirty-first, IA Cor-A DE Ono some of the upper grade girls entertained the high school students at a Hollowe'en party. Every one enjoyed the fortune telling, the ducking for apples, the peanut races, and other forms of amuse- ment. The afternoon passed too soon. On December 12, the two schools gave a joint Christmas program which consisted of short plays, recitations and songs. After the program the usual Christ- mas bags were passed out, and every one had a jolly time. We had a Valentines party on February 12. The main feature of this party was a huge valentine box, brim full of valentines. Kenneth Whittier '29 ATHLETICS When the basketball season opened we had little hope of get- ting up much of a teamg but after some capable coaching by Prin- cipal Patterson we were encouraged and organized with the fol- lowing line up: Joe Avila fcaptainl, guard, Clarence Sayler fman- agerl, guard, Walter Gillette, centerg Tom Myers, forwardg Claude Watson, forward, John Myers, Ted Fisher, Francis Calcagno, substitutes. S. A. U. S. vs San Ardo This was our first game, and we won by a score of 50 to 0. Tom Myers and Joe Avila each made about 20 points. S. A. U. S. vs King City High This game was quite different from our first one. It was played in the K. C. H. gymnasium and proved to be a fast and exciting game. We were defeated by a 33 to 6score. Everything considered, we were well pleased to have scored at all. S. A. UQ S. vs. K. C. G. S. The twogames we played with the King City Grammar School were both very close. The first game was played in King City and resulted in a score of 14 to 13 in favor of S. A. U. S. The second game was played on our own court.

I circled over the Salinas and San Antonio valleys several times, and as I flew along I thought how interesting it would be to land on some peak where I could view both valleys at once. I remembered the little peak, Santa Lucia, and steered my plane in that direction. I landed there just as the sun was throwing its last rays into the two valleys below. This proved to be the ideal hour and the ideal place from which to View both valleysg and I stood there spell- bound by the beauty before me. To the right of me lay the beautiful valley of San Antonio, sheltered on either side by low, brush-covered mountain ranges. The small farms were plotted out like city blocks, and the fields, which had once been called Hunger Flat, were yellow with ripening grains. Re-adjusting my field glasses, I looked to the left, where lay the Salinas Valley. There I saw scattered field of alfalfa and green grasses of all kinds, that looked as if they had drifted away by themselves. And on every patch of green, black and White dairy cows were feeding contentedly. Far beyond, on some vast holding, I could see a lone cowboy riding out among his herd of Arizona steers. V It was almost dark before I started my plane again, but I had decided where to settle. Heading my plane to the right I drifted down to my childhood home, the San Antonio Valley. Clarence Sayler '28. OUR LIFE SAVER It was in the latter part of January that our life saver came. Another dry year seemed inevitable, and the farmers had lost all hope. With anxious eyes he watched his thin cattle glean the black fields for bits of dry grass and straw. He well knew that before long he would be salvaging the hides of these very same animals. But then one day clouds began to cover the sun and the skyg the wind blew harder and harder, and big drops of water fell to the earth. ' A few weeks later the very animals he had expected to skin were feeding on the green grass. And the farmer, when meeting a neighbor, would smile broadly asif to say: You liked that rain pretty much, didn't you? It well near saved our lives, didn't it?
