that ideal, for ideals are not gained in a single year, but only by slow and conscientious effort. VVe have tried to make this book a combination of the best of previous years and if we have added a mite of originality, which can be taken as improvement, then one more step has been gained in the upward climb after the ideal, and we feel more than recompensed for the time and care spent in the preparation of this inomento of our high school life. Probably the biggest factor in the success of the book is the need of hearty cooperation from the faculty advisor, and Mrs. YVilliams, our advisor, has done more than her share. We appreciate it and desire that she be given full credit for her work. THE STAFF Margaret Bullard ....,.. .,..................,..,.... ................,.

fb anew Y i LA COPA DE ORA STAFF Once again we present to you an issue of La Copa De Oro. Of the great number of school activities there is none which requires more work than that of maintaining a real outline of the school year. For several months it had been under consideration whether or not to publish an Annual for 1926-27. A Quarterly was a subject which proved of great interest to all. The Quarterly is a magazine which is published four times a year. In this manner each of the departments and other organizations of the school would have a better opportunity to designate its writings to timely subjects. A debate was held before the entire Student Body, after which a vote was cast, four to one in favor of the Annual. Then, because it was known that the matter of finances would be the biggest problem of the annual, all organizations immediately took up the work. A campaign was made to sell La Copa De Oro subscriptions. The basketball games furnished quite a reliable source for some of the money. The P. A. L., girls' athletic league of the school, did its part in aiding the finances. Then the Senior Class contributed a sum of money to the already accumulated funds. 4 Last year a leather cover proved a distinguishing feature of the Annual. This year we decided upon the paper cover, to cut expenses. We sincerely hope that the time will come when our La Copa de Gro will assume a much more representative character than even we have been able to give it this year, and that in every respect it will be on a par with the very highest type of Annuals now being published by high schools in the United States. The present volume, reader, treat with consideration, and realize that it is but one of the many that will eventually 1'esult in the production of

f ff KING HI-WA YS STAFF At an early meeting' of the Student Body, the students voted to continue the semi-monthly publication of their paper under the name of King Hi- Ways. This paper had been printed successfully for two years, so it was thought that it could again be published and printed by the students. The first year that the paper was put out, it was printed on a multi- graph. During the first year many students became efficient on the machine, and King Hi-Ways was certainly a neat-looking paper. The next year the Student Body purchased a hand-run printing press and equipment. A course in printing was then added to the curriculum. The paper was printed on this press. Seeing how efficient the boys were in printing, the board decided to buy a larger and better press. So we now have a large motor-run press that turns out our King' l-Ii- Ways, of four hundred copies, for this is our present circulation. The material is first linotyped at The Rustler Printing Office and then 1'un out an our printing press. Of cou1'se, the printing of the paper determines much, but without the cooperation of the staff, the paper could not be. The staff must have the material in on time, and after it is corrected, must rewrite it. The staff that was elected this year proved to be very interested in its work, and helped very much to make King Hi-Ways what it is. We expect this paper to continue to prosper as it has in the preceding
