,I , W' M l l l l I I l I I I 1 1 N r X l Soledad Mission Where the moonlight wanly falls- On the ruined mission walls, Does it seem each crumbling wall Is again secure and tall? Do vast fields came into view Corn fields, wet with evening dew? Homeward from the distance vast Do the Indian workers pass? Does the tile roof, gleaming red, Arch again o'er red man's head? Listen, now we hear the bells! And the priest his rosary tells. Echoes of an evening hymn Come from near the altar dim. Ah! the moonlight ghostly falls 0'er the mission's crumbling walls! -IVA IMWALLE I

FOREWORD 1 The aim of this year's staff is the old, old aim of Annual Staffs, to make the Annual bigger and better --literally as well as figuratively. The set and monotonous treatment of the year book was altered in size, theme, and, in most cases, arrangement. An Indian theme, typical of the surrounding country, was carried out throughout the book. This theme has never before been used in the La Copa De Oro. Due to this fact, and also to the fact that Monterey County is known as the county of Indians and missions, it was thought appropriate. Many Indian relics are discovered hereabouts, and there are even to be found several grisled old Indians who are direct descendants of the original inhabitants of this Salinas Valley. The cover color of Indian Red was chosen in order to harmonize with the theme. While the size of the Annual is not so small as that of last year, neither is it the usual size of year books. A better balanced and more convenient size, we think, was selected. The habitual arrangement of the book has been changed in an effort to put the purely annual part of the book near the beginning. Then the book branches into the class histories and school activities. Each year we try to make the La Copa De Oro representative, not only of the Senior Class, but of the school as awhole. This has been our biggest aim in editing the present book. The amount of work, the time and energy necessary to publish the book, is incalculable, and it would almost be im- possible for the Editor to edit the publication without the hearty cooperation of her staff. And so as Editor of this La Copa De Oro we wish to take this opportunity to thank the various people who have materially aided in making the La Copa De Oro of June 1927, what it is. The Editor wishes to thank Elizabeth Shuey, who worked conscientious- ly as Assistant Editor. Edith Chambers worked hard as Literary Editor, and Harold Henry managed the business end in a creditable manner. To Raymond Huston belongs much credit for the splendid art work throughout the book. Elmer Gould, Abe Hables, Inez Metzler, and Ruth Parker also did more than their share as members of the Art Staff. Miss Fitzpatrick, faculty advisor, deserves a great deal of thanks for her efforts to make the book a success from the artistic standpoints. We also wish to thank Mrs. Williams, who greatly helped in correcting the literary portion cf the book and who never tired in giving suggestions about the La Copa De Oro as a whole. Miss Knapp deserves our thanks for having the Com- mercial Department typewrite the copy. The Editor especially thanks Mr. Vivian, the printer. Had it not been for Mr. Vivian, we can safely say, the La Copa De Oro, as it appears before you now, could not have been possible. l-le worked systematically and carefully, always willing to give suggestions or offer criticisms. The Editor also thanks all those who have in any way, either directly or indirectly, aided in the publishing of this La Copa De Oro.
