LA COPA DE Ono SENIOR HISTORY One of the ideas that each succeeding class carries away from the school is, undoubtedly, that their class is the best which the institutionhas ever produced. 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.

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
