You have achieved this goal with the largest class in the history of the school, and it is my hope that you will go into ihe world and continue to stand out with the same distinction with which you have marked your school career. Your class has held together in a re- markable way, and I hope that these friendships may continue through life. ln speaking of friendships, may I pause here long' enough to impress upon you the importance of cultivating the same. A man's greatest assets are his friends. If you have not cultivated a true friendship with someone, start now. No man will be a success who can not point to someone and say that he is my friend. You will often find that the hand of a friend will be gigantic, while yours will be that of a weakling . But remember that to have friends you must first show yourself friendly. . Best wishes, H. 0.

The members of the Council have met very frequently and have solved all the problems which have arisen, in a very earnest and efficient manner. Much credit is due Johnnie Harrison, Student Body President, for his force- ful yet discreet manner in handling affairs and his untiring efforts to make the Student Body meetings Z1 success.

The arrangement has not been changed as all were well satisfied with the plan of last year's book, however, new departments have been added and the quantity of material under all divisions has been increased. This year we have an entirely new theme-the Wind, which is typical of our valley. The welcome zephers, which pass over our beautiful Salinas Valley, leave their cooling effects upon all those who reside therein. Thus we are hoping that our year book will have the same effects upon those in whose hands it falls. For this reason, we think our theme appropriate. The book will submit the artisticness and beauties of the Wind. Many strangers do not appreciate the breezes as they should, due to the fact that they do not stop long enough to think of what the results would be if we did not have the wind. The art department has attempted to express its interpretation of wind and motion, grouping the ideas in unity through the use of columns. The staff has selected quotations about the wind, which are suitable for each division of our book. These are found at the base of each picture. We have also tried to complete the unity by using the theme in the corners and tale pieces of our annual. As we approach the end of the trail and look back over our labors on this, the La Copa de Oro of June, 1928, we are satisfied that it is as good an issue as we could make it in the time allotted, and we feel that we have done our share toward keeping up the high standard of the La Copa de Oro, editorial and artistic alike. Difficulties piling up at times like mountains were soon leveled by the herculean labors of an efficient, industrious staff. Nellie Eade, as Assistant Editor, worked hard and faithfully, and Wrote or collected a large proportion of the write-ups. Elmer Gould, Robert Mason, Clara Huston, and Alma Nicola, under the supervision of Miss Fitzpatrick, deserve the credit for the unique art scheme and the well executed work that goes to carry out the idea. Wesley Tindall deserves a great deal of praise for his efficient handling of the business end. George Sargenti worked diligently in the gathering of senior write-ups. And what would our literary department have been with- out Mrs. Williams, our adviser, whose many hours of help we surely have appreciated. Every book may be called a stepping stone toward the perfect school annual, and we hope that ours will not suffer in the eyes of the critics. Before we say good-bye to our friends and schoolmates we wish to express our appreciation and thanks to all who have helped to make our work the pleasure it has been. As we leave our old home we wish good luck to the La Copa dc Oro editors who are to follow us. May they hold fast to true ideals and the progressive spirit which has made King City Union High School.

L lewellyn Tully At an early meeting of the Student Body, the students voted to con- tinue the publication ofthe annual.

Citizenship in our school community is a privilege involving' responsibility and obligation, and the fulfilling of duties and obligations on the part of the faculty and students has made this publication, the King Hi- Ways, possible. Many interested students have come forward with energy and enthusiasm, under the direction of Mrs. Williams, and furnished the material for our paper this year. The editor chosen for the year was Marion Mansfield. Under his manage- ment our paper was re-organized and improved. With our new editorial room, he was able to assign certain hours to the various staff members and so a definite period of journalistic work was obtained. This has caused a steady improvement in material and time efficiency. The editorial column was especially good this past year. The topics were various, covering the five purposes of the editorial: to inform, to inter- pret, to convince, to persuade, and to entertain. Two of our editorials- Chewing Gum, and Keeping to the Right were re-printed by Eastern papers and given very favorable comment. The King Hi-Ways is very attractive and easily read. This is due to its conserative and symmetrical make-up, done by our print shop. It is a booster for school activities and holds to its policy to print all the news 'Lhat's fit to print. Come, Desert Wind All day I wandered o'er the desert sand, There struggling 'gainst the thirst and heat and sun. The desert sent'nals quiet waiting stand, And they will guard me when my journey's done. Colne, desert wind, Colne with your with'ring breath I welcome you altho' you mock my standg Come, desert wind, with your message, death, And hide my form beneath a shroud of sand. fr i X Q WK x N x it-':'X5 .

She succeeded except for one of his heels by which she held him. So this heel became his weak spot, and his death came from a poisoned arrow which struck him in the tiny vulnerable place. You can learn a lesson from Achilles which should result in your endeavor to do away with your weak spot in your school work. Report cards are out and they effectively tell your weaknesses. At least, you can put up a strong fight against them. lt is perfectly natural for you to find pleasure in doing the thing that is easiest. But good study demands that you seek out your difficulties and spend time trying to co1'rect them. If you find that your attempt to do easy Spanish translation is hampered by your weakness in the vocabulary, you should immediately begin to learn the various words. You are now old enough to begin to diagnose your own weaknesses. You will discover them long before your teacher does. In fact, you often try to cnceal them from her. But you cannot conceal them from yourself. There is just one way to keep them in perfect darkness and that is to d1'ill yourself until they gradually fade away. -MARION MANSFIELD, '28 HPOSSIBILITIES IN AGRICULTURE If you decide to go into agriculture, you will be joining a great voca- tional army, for one third of all the people in this country live on farms. The farmer to-day enjoys a much better position than he used to. The popular notion of the farmer as a hayseed has changed. He now dresses in the same style as his city friends, goes to the city frequently in his auto- mobile, keeps in daily touch with the world through the newspaper and radio, and above all, is applying the teachings of science to his daily tasks. He is interested in public affairs and in scientific progressg both touch his life very closely. The farmer is no longer a be-whiskered back-number. The agriculture courses offered in high school will be of value to you if you are interested in this vocation. Some high schools have a four-year course in this subject, which is a great opportunity for thorough training. There are, too, boys' and girls' agriculture clubs in almost every community, which set up practical High school graduation further training at an to you. Farming calls for labor, but the days of hard, grinding toil are disappearing. Continued im- provements in farm machinery have greatly lessened the amount of human labor needed. A man may be a farmer and yet not be so ground down by toil that he cares nothing about anything intellectual. There are hours on the farm as elsewhere. The general farmer with his different kinds of crops is safer against a disasterous year, yet in this age of specialization, many young men will prefer to center their progress on some particular type of farming. Life on the modern farm is wholesome. -ELMA CHAMBERS, '28 projects to be carried on during summer vacation. is essential but if you are going into agriculture a agriculture college is needed really to be of value a fairly strong physique and for a willingness to QER K I x Q N26-BN QQ W ,gk Q5 Wai X -x 1 Q LJ 1 X X x Q-X X XX : I vx 'ig XS U y C . 1 'A 'V J F ffggg , X ':f n+ -W' wax 0 A RA H Y' ' J , !

Flowers of every kind and color were peeping through a carpet of tangled vines and ferns. Far across the city the temple bells were tolling the hour of four. The sun, a firey ball, was slowly sinking into the sea, paint- ing the sky myriad hues of purple, red, and orange. Beside the stream, suspended from a marble arch, were the most beautiful and yet most fan- tastically painted wind chimes I have ever seen. Melancholy tinkling re- sounded through the garden as a faint breeze came slowly over the wall. Breaking the silence came an unmistakable whisper. The Wind Chimes By IONA LANG, '28 Listen to Rela, the wind chimes, and learn 'the story of Cushala and the garden. I sank upon the ground, reclined against the marble arch, and gazed intently at the chimes. This is the story. Wong-Po, a rich tea merchant had a beautiful daughter upon whom he lavished many a costly gift. For her he built this garden, and fifty years ago he bought us, the most beautiful and wonderful chimes in China, to be placed in the garden. But one day the priests in the Temple of Lee Sol warned Wong-Po of a terrible misfortune that would overwhelm him if he did not give his daughter to the temple when she would become eighteen. Such a great love as Wong- Po's had made the gods jealous, and nothing but his daughter as a sacrifice could appease their wrath. ' In the garden, loving every bird, flower, and wind, Cushala was grow- ing up ignorant of what Fate had in store for her. All day long she frolicked with the winds or played beside the brook. We played our happiest tunes, and all things in the garden conspired to make Cushala happy. Happy hours flew swiftly, and soon the time came for Cushala to leave. It was on a dark and stormy night that Wong-Po called her to him and told her she was to become a priestess in the Temple of Lee Sol. Outside the thunder roared and the wind raged. Lightning flashed, the heavens opened and a torrent of water descended to the earth. Cushala begged her father not to let her go, but he had promised. When entreaties were no longer of avail, she threatened to end her life. Finally, Wong-Po, angry with her disobedience, agreed to break his word to the priests, but Cushala would have to spend the rest of her life in her room. Never again could she go to her garden. Cushala ran to her room, weeping bitterly. The storm gradually sub- sided. Cushala went to the window and looked out upon the garden, illuminated by a pale moon as it moved through the murky clouds. The scene was one of desolation and havoc. Vines and flowers were in tangled masses, and small branches were scattered all over the garden. Day after day the flowers, birds, and winds watched for Cushalag but Cushala never came. Flowers drooped and died. Birds ceased to sing. The Wind wandered listlessly over the garden, humming the saddest of tunes. For the first time in our life we played sad and melancholy music. The days filed slowly past and Springtime came again to the world outside, but it was still winter in the garden. ' But one day the birds returned to the garden, for they had heard that Cushala would come once again. Cushala came, but it was a changed Cushala the winds greeted. She was wan and weak, and even the joyful F I krsses of the breezes could not brrng the color to her cheeks She could no longer romp wrth the wrnds or run besrde the stream So, wrth the brrds srngrng happrly and the breezes blowrng gently around her, she sat besrde the arch and listened Whlle we played the Happrness Song of Chrna One short hour of freedom had been grven her by her father, as her last reguest But the hour never passed for when the servants came for her, her spurt had gone They found her lyrng on the grassy bank wrth a happy smrle upon her lrps We are sad no longer, for we know that she rs free and happy, and that once a year she wrll return and spend one Joyful hour wrth us The trnklrng of the chrmes dred away Here and there rn the sky a star wrnkled The hour was growrng late and I walked back through the garden Over a drstant hrll the moon was sendrng her fn st beams of lrght A gentle cvenrng breeze played across the gal den Many years ago there was no wrnd The world was 1 very hot place rndeed a there were no coolrng breezes to soothe the laborer s hot face and make hrm more comfort ll Food was scarce, and there were no leautrful flowers or shrubs as the un drred them up before they werf. grown The wrnds were not there to cool the earth and brrng the ramdrops when the sun cast its rfrys of heat down upon all The world was rn 'r sorrowful plrght indeed Yet beauty, especrally grace and strength of body, was admrred then as now Many athletrc contests were held, runnrng berng the mam event The 'rrhletes were many, and few were poor m then' skrll A Myth of the Wand By VIRGIL CAMPBELL 28 One day a great track meet was scheluled All the most famous athletes rn the world were to compete They came from every land Among those present was one who was known as Mercury Mercury was noted for hrs marvelous endurance and speed Twenty or thlrty mrles was on ordrnary run for hun He was everyones chorce as wrnner of the endurance run, for rt was to be won by the man who could run the longest perrod of tune wrthout stopprng' As the race started, Mercury notrced thc most beautrful lady he had ever seen srttmg rn the gallery He nnrnedratelv fell very deeply rn love wrth her Each trme as Mercury came around the track he looked at thrs lfrdy 'ach trme he went around faster untrl at last he was runnrng' by hnnsell' 'lhe thrrty frvc and at last the fortreth mrle was reeled off Me cury would not stop, for to stop would be showrng weakness, and he was proud or hrs -rreat strength He was very tned but the srght of the berutrlul lady rn sprred hrm on At last when Mercury came around to her gallery, the lady was gone He at once became conscrous of hrs great fatrgue He stopped running' Could she have been so cruel as to leave hlm after all hrs eliort wrtlrout 'r word of pr arse '7 Mercury stood very strll takrng qurck, deep breaths He had overdone hrs run He could not breathe naturally For days he took these qu ck, Ek ' - .

So we may thank Mercury for the winds which are a blessing to the universe, and when we hear the wind sighing through the trees, we can Lhink of it as poor Mercury sighing for his loved one. . The sun was casting its Lgnellnesg last faint, rosy rays from a sky bedecked with crimson and gold to a lonely, purple valley below. As I sat on my horse, silhouetted on the rim of a deep canyon, I watched the long, purple shadows, silently creep o'er hill and dale. Slowly the objects on the plain became faint and indistinct in the approaching twilight. The aspens quivered as the evening breeze whispered a lullaby to the columbines growing on the hillsides A ramshackled cabin, hid among the trees and nestled among the flowers, could be faintly distinguished from the dark background of the coming night and the hills. At length the sun had kissed the last tall tree tops good-night, and the realm of solitude lay in peace and quietness once more. On a little knoll not far away, distinctly outlined in the rising moonlight the form of a lone wolf, perhaps the last of his clan, sent his lonely cry to the rising moon and the landscape. As a signal which must be obeyed, I turned my horse, retraced my steps back to the turmoil and anxiety of civilization. By MARIE GONTHIER, '29 The eastern sky was of a A Storln ghastly, greenish-red hue. A low moaning could be heard afar, as of a lost soul. At times this moaning grew into a shriek, and then it died away into silence again. The sea appeared to D8 covered with oil. A long swell came from the east. The copper-colored clouds grew in the sky, obscuring the sun. Brilliant flashes of lightning played aroundthe edges. The distant muttering of thunder could be heard. A line of white advanced rapidly across the sea. Suddenly, the boat buried its prow in a huge mountain of water. With a great crash tons of water iell upon the deck. Shrieking wildly, the wind came. The rain fell in torrents. The waves grew higher, and the wind grew fiercer. An inky blackness prevailed over all. Wires shrilled. Masts groaned. The ship plunged about as if in agony. The white, drawn faces of the crew appeared as in a nightmare. Through a rent in the clouds, a ray of sunlight shone on a wild waste of tumbling waters. Then all was darkness again. At length there was a barely perceptible lightening in the east. The wind lessened in its fury, but the waves continued to rush madly along. By degrees the sky lightened and the wind subsided. Finally the waves diminished to a long swell, which in turn died away. At length the sea presented a peaceful aspect that showed no trace of the fury of before. By DONALD CADDY, '29 If one is the least bit observant or appreciative of nature, he may visualize, in whisperings. of the wind, wonderful tales of different lands. On a drowsy summer's evening, the wind seems to bring the soft tinkle of a guitar from Hawaii. From these sounds one can picture a beautiful moonlit night on the beach, drooping palm trees rustled by the gentle breezes from the sea, several natives lounging in the sand and singing Hawaiian love songs while strumming their guitars. Then, on a blistering summer's afternoon when a hot breeze blows by, the memory recalls some old Arabian tale and pictures a caravan of camels plodding onward, onward over endless hills of sand, resting at noon-day but resuming travel at night, onward ever onward. In the winter when the wind comes howling around the corners of the house, and the rain patters down on the roof, one thinks of a monsoon in india, of the groaning, bleak wind with its power to move houses, wreck great ships, tear down trees, and devastate many a properous village. Then, in the spring when the grass is green, flowers are in bloom, and soft breezes steal through the leaves of the trees, the mind wanders off to far off Holland with its Dutch wind-mills, its great dikes, its little vegetable gardens nurtured by careful hands. These and many, many more secrets will be told by the wind if one but cares to listen. Secrets of the Wind By ALMA JEAN KNOWLES, '29 The first faint pink glow in the eastern horizon heralded the coming dawn. A magic hush seemed to de- scend gently upon th e earth's surface, broken only by the occasional twitter of n sleepy bird. The pink became a darker hue until suddenly the rim of the sun came thrusting its way over the snow clad rnfiuntains. The Sunrise By EDWARD LEIGHTON, '29 The appearance of the sun worked a strange and awe inspiring magic upon the beautiful valleys and surrounding snow and fir clad slopes. The mountains, which were crowned with a beautiful white mantle, suddenly be- came transformed into peaks of flashing hues. On the grassy, flower covered meadows in the valley below were timid deer here and there, gathering their food while the day was still cool. An old she bear wandered from the forest, followed by a fat waddling cub, who appeared to have nothing in View except an overwhelming desire for mischief. As the sun climbed higher and higher the shadows changed to lighter colors, giving the country a beautiful appearance of tranquillity. The scene that lay before our eyes made us gasp and wonder at the blessings which God had placed at the disposal of man. God's gift of nature to the world is given In hope that man throughout the tide of time, When o'er life's rocky pathway he is driven, Will find its help to make his life sublime. f' 'f 1. x in w Rqq-xv . ff '. Z-1 ' ' .--.S -QR 1? i ' Nowhere have I seen the moon rise in such splendor as it does in Chalome Valley. A winter scene shows the earth covered with a white blanket of snowg over all there is a dreamy stillness, the stillness of ap- proaching nightfall. Then suddenly over the hill top appears the moon, a liuge golden ball. Over all it casts a fairy-like glory. It so suddenly takes you into this different world, that you feel rather awed by it all. Here it is all pearl and crystal, where you feel as though you are witnessing the diamond dance of moonbeams. The other world was merely white, while this is dazzling. As the ball swings up into the sky it becomes a pale yellow. Now the wavering shadows on the pearly blanket makes you think of a wierd. ghostly dance. No one can explain the feeling that this scene gives you, for it may appear differently to the imagination of others. Upon me it left the feeling of stillnessg everything seemed far away, and material things had vanished. This was a new world. A summer scene shows us a twilight over all. The sky is a clear, limpid blue. The peace of evening is upon the earth. Then a full, low moon appears. It seems to be a ball of fire glowing with redness. As it makes its way upward it becomes a rosy yellow, then finally it passes into the pale yellow stage. The trees cast lacy shadows upon the ground. Over all there is a calmness undescribable. It is really Peace upon earth. The Rising of the Moon By Inez Metzler, '28 Today Makes Tomorrow The bright crimson rose in the garden That gleams in the morning dew, Was once a green bud without fragrance Overshadowed or hidden from view. The guardian pine on the hilltop, That reigns in its splendor on high, Was one time a slender sapling, With arms stretching out to the sky. The sleeping seed in the meadow, That wakes on the first spring day, Has spent a long winter preparing The beauty to blossom in May. So they who shall guide our tomorrow, Our fortune and progress on earth, The sower, the builder, the stateman, Today must be testing their worth. -Sidney Miller, '28 Wand Blowmg thxough the tlee tops Through the dark gxeen leaves, Tluough the ch1ldrens cully locks Through the houses eaves Sometnnes ceaslng fol a whlle Neve1 dymg out Blowlng' hay flom out the pxle Blowlng hats about But fox 'ill lts wallmg We like the way It blows Blowmg evel blowlng The fuendllest of foes Donald Caddy 29 The North Wmd Oe1 the valley gxeen, The old Nolse Wlnd dld blow The wlnd so svuft 'md keen, Why?

What can that great wind be we say? What makes it blow, and how? But, when we feel its beauty spray, We know 'tis by His bow. Sometimes it stops from morn till night. How lonesome then we feel. But, when it blows, and howles, and fights, With fear our eyes are sealed. What would we do if wind should cease? We would not live for long. The many things we had in peace, Then would be quickly gone. And now, while looking far and near, How thankful all life seems. And everything that it holds dear, Wind brings as if in dreams.

' 1 ' 1 1 ' 1 ' F I ' .fp fs Is there no snappy way of grasping an education? There seems no way of X alleviating the dullness of study by making text books or lectures thrilling. And since educations do not come wrapped up in parcels there seems to be no other way of getting an education -than by working hard for it. To obtain an easy education is just as difficult a problem as inventing fi perpetual motion machine. If you really think there is a royal road to an education, forget it and spend ycur time usefully. Something to Think About By MARION MANSFIELD, '29 The process of getting an education is like developing your muscles. ln its very nature it is a long process, requiring concentration and sacrifice. You can develop your arm muscles if you raise a dumb-bell in each hand, many, many times a day. If you want to get fun out of it, you can paint your dumb-bells red, green, or yellow and turn on the phonograph. But you must lift the dumb-bells. The foundation of a sound education comprises a knowledge of math- ematics, history, literature, and philosophy. There is no snappy way of grouping these subjects. There is no way of alleviating the dullness of study by making text books or lectures thrilling. The thrill is invariably introduced by sacrificing the substances. So remember that to learn is to do hard, dull work, in which you will be the gainer. School spirit is a splendid ideal or aim for which to work. Its attainment is pleasurable and profitable. We succeed much better and faster if we work for the good of something and strive to improve in every way possible. School Spirit By BERNICE POWELL, '28 One of the most important things in making a reputable name for our Hi is good school spirit. Any institution showing this spirit within itself and in its relations with other schools is ranked highly. Size or cost does not make a good school. Fine spirit's the thing. A great deal of school spirit is lacking in most high school students. There are the few who do all the work while the rest sit back and look on. G In athletics, cooperation is very necessary. The players must cooperate with one another, and the students must do so with the players. The athletic field gives an excellent opportunity in which we may show mur metal. It is much easier to be a good winner than it is to be a good loser. It is very tempting, when a school has lost a game, to accuse the 'winners of dishonesty. This will condemn a school very quickly. Let's all avoid anything like that. Often, remarks are made by the rooters that are detrimental to their school, so, students, be very careful to avoid casting reflections on your Alma Mater.

The hostesses were the members of the Board of Directors. At the beginning of the program America was sung by the audience. Following this, Mrs. L. E. Webb, the Woman's Club President, gave the welcoming address. Responses were given by Principal James Walker, in behalf of the Grammar School, and Principal H. O. Williams of the High School. Each presented his faculty. Miss Lurline Brunetti, accompanied by Miss Helen Hamilton, sang Carmencita and At the End of the Rainbow. A quartet composed of Robert Hamilton, Virgil Campbell, Homer Bron- son and L. E. Webb sang' two numbers, I love a Lassie and The Story of Tack. They were accompanied by Miss Helen Hamilton. ' ' A novelty dance and song number, Side by Side,' was given by the following high school girls: Emmy Lou Rood, Bernadeen Dickey, Gladys Rood, Leonor Hickey, Bernice Powell, Rayena Benadom, Marie Gonthler, Clara Huston, This number was under the direction of Mrs. Helen Rood and Miss Helen Hjelte. This above program was followed by cards and dancing, the music being furnished by The Californians. During the year there was always a quick responsive heed to four bells-the toll that meant five minutes to an hour of repose from the daily routine of class work. Perhaps the most interesting assembly of the year was the Open Air assembly held out on the football turf. The orchestra played and two speak- ers were chosen from each class to give a talk on different topics such as School Spirit, How I Can Support My Team, and so on. The Yell Leader performed and the student body responded. This was probably the most suc- cessful assembly of the year. We have had many excellent speakers during' the year. Some of these were: Dr. Sawyer, who spoke about his travels around the world, giving us an idea of his delightful experiences anl some of the customs of the old world, Mr. Greene, who spoke on the topic What we shall do after we leave High School. In all, our assemblies have been very instructive, amusing and interest- ing. President Harrison wishes to thank all those who have helped with the assemblies during the past year. The Assemblies By MARIE GONTHIER, '29 On Tuesday, September 27, the Sophomores chal- lenged the Freshmen to a tieup to be held on the turf at 1:30, Friday afternoon, September 30. The rules were that each boy was to come to school in his old Fresh Rush E By PHILIP COLLINS, '29 was held in the Grammar clothes and bring two ropes with him. The participants were to tie each others hands and feet and carry him over the goal. The tieup was to be carried on in a friendly manner. The officials were the Juniors and Seniors. The day appointed arrived and all the boys met on the field of battle. When the dust and smoke had cleared from the fray, it was discovered that Howard Mansfield, Sophomore, was the only one of his clan to remain untied. Thus the Freshmen started their career by overcoming their rivals, the Sophomores. Afterwards, the students and faculty gathered in the gym for an informal dance which ended the afternoon's entertainment. One of the most interest- ing events of the year is the Freshmen Reception. Dur- ing the evening of Septem- ber 16th, the Sophomores of our school had the pleasure of initiating the largest Freshman class known in the history of our school. Freshmen Reception By MAYME SMITH, '30 The program of the evening consisted of original stunts presented by each class as follows: The Sophomore Alphabet, by the Sophomore Classy Off to College, by the Junior Class, and The Interrupted English Class and a Pantomine Without a Name, by the Senior Class. The stunts were presented in the auditorium, after which everyone adjourned to the gymnasium. Here the Freshman Roll Call was taken. The usual shoe race was won by Ray Davis, Dan Soberanes and Atherton Morgan. The three winning boys then had a milk drinking contest, which was won by Ray Davis, who was rewarded by receiving a meal ticket to the high school cafeteria. A grand march of the Freshmen, followed by dancing, completed the program for the evening. Everyone had a delightful time and was much pleased with the school spirit and sportsmanship of the new Class of '31, On December 9, 1927, the Honor Society gave a Christ- mas party to the Student Body. This was an imitation of those given in the pri- mary grades-program, Christmas tree, Santa Claus, and presents. Christmas Party By MARIAN HARRISON, '29 The program was in the form of a stunt. Superintendent of schools, Iona Lang, came to visit the school taught by Margaret Bachar. The pupils, Harold Yost, Phyllis Stal-bird, Merle Rader, Leonor Hickey, Donald Caddy, Bernadine Dickey, Doris Collins and Marian Harrison, each spoke a piece. Leonor Hickey and Gladys Rood sang a Christmas song. Emmy Lou Rood gave a little dance. A first grade orchestra gave a few selections which be- gan very much out of tune but soon grew better until they were perfect. Then the students went to the gym where a large tree, covered with presents, stood. Santa Claus CWilliam Barbreel was there, and with the help of those in the stunt, distributed the gifts. These consisted of everything from a hoc for Pop Warner's flower garden to a loaf of French bread to satisfy Stubby Mansfield's ambitious appetite. Dancing was enjoyed with music by the girl's Invincible Six. 'SY l 1 u Z rw. On December 2, the high school held an Open House, an informal dedication of our new vocational building. One of the largest crowds :hat ever attended a school function was present that night. The different 'departments of the school were represented by students from those departments, who told the audience what their classes were doing and what they expected to do. The dramatics class presented Whiskers, a one act play. Then several well chosen and finely rendered pieces were played by the orchestra. Afterwards, the guests were shown through the building. They inspected every department of the school and learned of the work being done. The exhibits in the different rooms were interesting and instructive. Then followed dancing in the gymnasium until eleven o'clock. Open House By MAYME SMITH, '30 One of the most striking' things that can be noticed around school is the im- provement of the campus. Many new plants, a new lawn and flowers have been added to the grounds, and the old shrubs and trees have been trimmed. Probably the most noticeable thing that one can see upon passing our school is the lawn. After the alfalfa was taken out a few years ago, a lawn was planted from Mildred Street to the end of the main building. This lawn was watched carefully and continually by the gardners, and now we have one of the most beautiful lawns of all the schools in California. This year, after the new vocational unit was added to the school plant, the gard- ners again were busy and planted a lawn from the old shop down to the end of the new building. By next year, this will be completely grown and will give an excellent appearance to the school. Then, too, the shrubs and trees around the lawn have been trimmed and some new ones added. All around the edge of the lawn there are small shrubs and flowers that grow close to the ground. The trees in front of the tennis courts have been also carefully tended. Another improvement is the flower beds on each side of the walk to the school. Heretofore, either all pansies or all tulips have been planted. This year the pansies and tulips have been planted in the same bed, making a very artistic arrangement. Probably the biggest improvement is the Biology garden. Planned by Mr. Warner and his Biology classes, this garden has continually improved so that now we have beautiful grounds on the west side of the school. Flow- ers, trees, shrubs, a pond, hot house, desert garden, perennial garden, and a dahlia bed are all included in this feature of our school. Walks around the garden have been bordered with stones. In all, it has done much to improve the appearance of our campus. The old bus shed that used to be back of the school has been taken away and the busses removed to the garage in the new building. The removal of this shed has added much to the improvement of our school. As we look at the campus improvements, we can feel sure that it helps to make our school grounds one of the most imposing in the state. While we have enjoyed the improvement in the landscape, we trust that the future will see even added beauties. Campus Improvements By EMMY LOU ROOD, '28 Come Out of the Kitchen The Junior Play, Come Out of the Kitchen, was staged March 9, 1928, at the Grammar School Auditorium. The plot concerned a Southern family, named Dangerfields, who, in the absence of the father and mother, became hard pressed for money and were forced to rent their old mansion to a Northerner. After the place had been leased, they find that the contract calls for a staff of white servants. The Dangerfields have always employed colored servants and find it im- possible to secure a white staff. The renter and his party arrive and Olivia Dangerfield contrives the plan that they, the children, would act as servants until the real servants arrive. Mrs. Falkner, one of Mr. Crane's guests, is an exacting person, and she makes trouble for all when she doubts ihe ability of the servants and calls them in for a personal interview. Mr. Crane is greatly astonished when he sees the cook and finds himself falling in love with her. He is very jealous of her admirers, Mr. Tucker and Randy Weeks. Mrs. Falkner finally leaves the place in high dudgeon, taking her flaug-hter, Cora, with her. All the servants are dismissed but Olivia, Crane finally finds out who she really is, and all turns out well. The story was well interpreted, and many a time the audience was gripped by the moving' action of the plot. Olivia Dangerfield, played by Alice Digges, was probably the most interesting character, along with that rf Burton Crane, enacted by Philip Collins, althought the character of Eizabeth and Charlie run close. The success ofthe play is one more tribute to Mrs. Williams, who worked unselfishly and untiringly for two months to make the play a suc- 'lg 5 ? . ,X Q f 1. , -n gg1'Z cess. As a splendid example of school spirit and boasting' for King City High, stands Mrs. Williams' work. Her efforts are greatly appreciated by thc whole school. CAST OllVl3.

This dance is held annually for the benefit of Athletics. The gym was decorated to represent a garden and much green shrubbery was used. The music was furnished by Peck Adam's Orchestra. Supper was served at midnight in the Cafeteria by the Student Body. The dance proved to be very popular and was a great success both financially and socially. It will long live in the memory of those present. Athletic Dance By NELLIE EADE, '28 Again King City Hi's Old Clothes Day was a big suc- cess. This day, April 19, will remain in the students' and teachers' minds as one of the peppiest and liveliest Old Clothes Days the Student Body has ever had. This Old Clothes Day comes once every year. There were many original and queer costumes worn. Even the teachers came in old costumes, some of which must have been worn in the 90's. At noon, after hurried lunches, everyone gathered in front of the high school. The entire group marched down the middle of the street, led by Mrs. Hughes and her piano, to the El Camino Hotel and then back again to the Monterey County Bank. Everyone then assembled in a circle and gave many yells. After the yells and songs, the Student Body went back to the high school. Of course everyone disliked to get down to school work again, but it was a case of have to. Not a single person appeared without costume and so we were unable to use Lake Warner for a ducking pond. However, this speaks very well for our school spirit, for not many institutions can boast of a hundred percent cfficiency. All the students are now looking forward to next year's Old Clothes Day. Old Clothes Day By GLADYS Rooo, 'so K5 The Junior Prom By RUTH EVANS, '29 The Junior Prom was given by the Junior Class in honor of the Seniors on June 8, 1928. It was given in the High School Gym which was effectively decorated to represent an oldffashioned garden. The Gym was completely ceiled over with greens and flowers. Rows of colored lanterns across the ceiling served to light it as well as to add to the decorating. An old-fashioned well, with revolving colored balloons cleve1'ly arranged to represent a fountain, rendered an artistic touch to the garden scheme. Dainty little programs also proved effective. The girls' pretty dresses, of pastel shades, blended beautifully with the decorations of greens, flowers, and colored lanterns. Light refreshments were served during the evening. ' Much cooperative work of the Junior class was necessary in order to carry out the decorating scheme. A committee composed of Bernadeen Dickey, chairman, Alice Digges :md Louise Wasson, with the help of Mrs. Williams, our class advise1', de- serves much credit for the active part it took in making the Prom a success. The Baccalaureate Serv- ices for the Class of '28 was delivered on June 10th by Reverend Tancock. Many valuable thoughts w e r e gained which will aid the students in their later life. The invocation was pronounced by Father O'Keefe and the Benediction by Chaplain Bronson. Baccalaureate By IONA LANG, '30 The evening of June 13, saw the Class of '28 make its last public appearance. It was Commencement. The girls in their taffeta dresses of pastel shades looked very nice on the stage, decorated with flow- crs by the Junior Class. Commencement By IONA LANG, '30 The principal speaker of the evening, Mr. Stanley B. Wilson of Los Angeles, an ex-member of the State Board of Education, gave a very inter- esting talk. The student with the highest Scholarship, Emmy Lou Rood, gave the valedictorian address, while Iona Lang, the second highest in standing gave the salutatory. The class president, Iona Lang, presented the Senior Gift, a beautiful electrically lighted fountain, to the Student Body. l This program was supplemented by other interesting talks and se- lections from the orchestra. Applesauce - The Senior Play To show that applesauce in other Words, a cheerful optimism and the ability to tell other people how nice they arej will surmount most of the obstacles of this life was the theme which ran through Applesauce , the Senior Play of 1928. It was presented on June fifteenth, at the local Gram- mar School. The task of choosing the cast for the drama was very difficult this year, as rivalry for every part was keen and close. However, the best dramatic talent in the class was called upon to take part in the production, and the players were exceptionally well adapted to their parts. The cast had rehearsed faithfully for six weeks under the capable direction of Mrs. VVilliams, and this was evident in the smooth way that the play progressed. Bill McAllister, who gave out the applesauce and who finally won happiness as Hazel's future husband, was played by William Barbree, who scored a well-deserved success. Emmy Lou Rood, as Hazel, carried her part well, and justified the coach's opinion of her. - Inez Metzler proved 'to be a comedian of high order, and had her audi- ence roaring most of the time. Bernice Powell and Virgil Campbell were very natural in their parts of the fond mother and father. THE CAST Ma Robinson ...... ......... . ,...,.......... . . ...,.......

Just four years ago the class of '28 entered the mys- terious quads and rooms of l Senior Class History By DORIS COLLINS, '28 I the institution known as our high school. During this time the members of the class have developed worth-while ideals and gained sufficient knowledge so that now they feel that they can go out into the world with a firm step. The first year the class activities were not prominent. The individuals in the class spent their time getting acquainted with the customs and tradi- tions of high school life. The class entered its sophomore year with a smaller number of students than it boasted upon entering high school the year before. However, the standards of the class were very well upheld. Emmy Lou Rood and Alvin Hables represented us in dramatics, carrying two of the leading roles in the farce, Dave's Baby , presented -by the Honor Society. A decrease in the class was again noticed in the junior yearg yet the class took a prominent part in all school activities, having been engaged in athletics, dramatics, orchestra, Student Body and Honor Society. One of the main events of the year was the presentation of the junior play, Stray Cats. The class also put over a very successful Junior Prom. The senior year has been one naturally crowded with activities. A 'fSenior Vaudeville Night was presented to a large crowd in the Grammar School Auditorium on April 18. Our Sneak Day to Santa Cruz on April 30 was very different from former Sneak Days. It was a real surprise. The other students of the school knew nothing about it beforehand. The final function of the year was the presentation of the senior play, Applesauce, which was a decided success. Those boys of the class who deserve mention for their creditable showing in athletics are Abel Soberanes, Alvin Hable-s, Robert Parsons, Virgil Campbell, Lyle Giaccmazzi, Harold Yost, Johnny Harrison, Sidney Miller, and Wes Tindail. During the whole four years we have been well-represented in the Honor Society, and this year a plurality of the members in that society was seniors. The senior class wishes to thank Miss Bertha Knapp, the adviser, for all the work she has done for it and for the interest she has shown in all its undertakings. Our high school days are now over, those days in which we found so much fun and happiness. We regret to leave fellow-students and teachers, 'rs f 1 I i 1 I l y '. 3. if r. J. 3. 1. :I . l yet some of us leave with a desire to go farther in educational institutions, while others prefer to become productive citizens. We thought we would be glad to leave, Instead of that we seem to grieve, we'll ramble in the hallg No more No more we'll fear the bell's sharp cally No more we'll cut to fishing gog No more we'll wield that old weed hoeg No more we'll run to class each dayg Alas, that it could be this way. Tonight we leave our high school life, For ways of happiness or strife, To try to do that which is right, To live our lives-to win the fight. May we to class and school be trueg Our bright school days we'll never rue. The history of our class is tolclg Farewell! Our sheepskins safe we hold. The Senior Class of '28 presented the King City Union High School Student Body with a pool containing a beautiful electrically light- ed fountain. lt has eight lights which reflect on the fine sprays of water. In the pool, there are beautiful water lilies and gold- Senior Gift to Student Body By BERNICE POWELL, '28 fish, which add beauty to the fountain. The seniors have worked hard all during their four years of high school life so they would be able to give the Student Body a gift of which they could be proud. They earned this money by selling candy at football and basketball games, selling hot dogs at the fair, selling ice-cream, taking over the punch concessions at different activities, presenting plays, having a Senior Vaudeville Night, which was a new and original idea. The Seniors have been enthusiastic in watching the construction of the pool and have waited anxiously for the arrival of the fountain from the East. They are glad to be able to give the beautiful gift to their school, as they realize it will beautify the grounds and be a rexnembrance when they visit King City High in future years.

There are thirty-nine members in the class, all preppy and wide awake. The Juniors took part in most all of the school events. The Freshman Reception came first. Our stunt was a train scene. In this skit members of the Junior Class portrayed the parts of former graduates on their way to their respective colleges and universities. At this time a stunt, advertising a football game between Pacific Grove and King City, was given by Virgil Reed, Lorine Annear, and Elmer Giacomazzi. Our class was well represented in athletics. In football Virgil Reed Marion Mansfield, Elmer Giacomazzi, Philip Collins, Martin Mozzini, Edgar Brownlee and William Harrison did their bit. Those who represented us on the lightweight basketball team were Edward Leighton, Philip Collins, and Martin Mozzini. Our heavyweight representatives were Elmer Giacom- azzi, Virgil Reed, Marion Mansfield and Edgar Brownlee. In track we also showed our skill.

Instead of being timid and bashful as we were last year, we were bold and ready to go. The first social event held by the high school was 'the Annual Freshman Reception. The Sophomore Stunt consisted of the working out of the alpha- bet.. We especially enjoyed the reception because we were the ones who made the Freshmen feel uncomfortable Leanor Hickey, Gladys Rood, Julia Biaggi, Vesta Newman, Belle Hughes, Frank Morton, Phyllis Starbird, Angelina Biaggi and Opal Carr rep- resented the Sophomore Class in the Honor Society. The King Hi-Ways ex- change reporter for the paper was Gladys Rood. Vera Jessen was the An- nual Staff Reporter. Nearly all of the boys of our class went out for various sports. The boys that made the football team were Howard Mansfield, Frances McCon- nell, Jack Hamilton and John Cardoza. Some of the boys received a HK. C. or a stan Howard Mansfield and Jack Hamilton were on the lightweight SOPHOMORE CLASS ROLL basketball team. The boys that made the track team were Clinton Thorne, Joe Nunez, Howard Mansfield, Jack Hamilton, John Cardoza, and Robert Vasquez. The Sophomore girl's basketball team won the cup given by Geo. Ander- son last year and repeated the feat this year. The captain of the team was Gladys Rood. The other members of the team were Vera Jessen- touch center, Leonor Hickey-side center, guards-Madeline Martinell and Henrietta Rich, forwards-Elda Nicola and Gladys Rood. Thus the Class of '30 has tried to join in all the activities and sports of the year. We also promise to do so next year. - Biaggi, Julia Biaggi, Angelina Brownlee, Virginia Carr, Opal Cardoza, John Garner, Genevieve Hamilton, Jack Hutchins, Elbert Harper, Fred Hickey, Leonor Hughes, Vivian Huston, Clara Hughes, Mrs. Belle Hughes, Jessie Jessen, Vera Jessen, Dorothy Lund, Elda McConnell, Francis Mansfield, Howard Morton, Frank Martinell, Madeline Nunez, Joe Nicola, Elda Newman, Vesta Pierce, Ben Plaskett, Gordon Robles, Frances Rich, May Rich, Henrietta Rist, Howard Rood, Gladys Record, Harold Rhyne, Carol Starbird, Phyllis Smith, Mamie Thorne, Clinton Vasquez, Robert Wiley, Hazel Wilmot, Ethel Williams, George Weaver, Peter n 'D'-X cf 1 Ernwf, l i a V u i FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY President .......,,.. .....,.....

True to our reputation we were a very timid and bashful group. The first social event was the Freshman Reception given us by the upper classmen. The Freshman stunt, under the direction of Mr. Warner, was the Senior Roll Call as it was ten years ago. Each class put on a stunt. Everyone enjoyed himself, including the Freshmen, even if they were the cause of most of the merriment and laughter. In April the Freshmen and Sophomores had a party. Dancing and games filled the evening pleasantly until ten-thirty when refreshments were served. Eleven o'clock, the usual time for school parties to come' to a close, arrived only too soon. Thse who represented the Freshman Class in the Honor Society were: Myrle Rader, Regina Vosti, Dorothy Rist, Alma Nicola, Isabelle Lesnini and Laurent Layous. A great many Freshmen were on the Honor Roll. Tony Garcia received a K. C. block for football and Dan Sobranes for basket-ball. Tony Garcia also received a star for basketball. The Freshmen boys on the basketball team were: Herbert Earl, Ray Davis, Tony Garcia, Dan Sobranes and Donald Yost. The Freshmen boys who made the track team were: Ray Davis, Malcolm Douglas, Tony Garcia and Dan Sobranes. Dorothy Buckley was the Captain of the Girl's Basketball Team. Those on the team were: Dayle Gould, Alma Nicola, Dorothy Buckley, Frances Garner, Dorothy Smith, Valla Rich, Rose Martella, Irma Conley and Hazel Harrison. So the Class of '31 has joined in all the sports and activities of the school year, and we hope that the years to come will be as profitable and enjoyable as this one has been. FRESHMAN CLASS ROLL.

With increase in our numbers over last year we started out enthusiastically upon our program for the year. First, we had our student body meeting at which we elected officers for the first semester. They were as follows: President, Jennie Heinseng .Vice- President, Robert Dasmanng Secretary-Treasurer, Kenneth Whittierg Yell Leader, Pauline Martinusg Sargeant-at-Arms, Harold Boutlier. Our first social event was planned! Of course it was necessary to initiate our neophyte Freshmen. To impress upon their minds the superiority of upper class men we put them through various stunts at school, and we fully initiated them into loyal high school students a a party in Lockwood Hall. This party was so successful that plans were soon under way for an- other. The nature of this event was a Mock Track Meet. Teams were or- ganized and hot competition accompanied by yells and cheers from both sides ensued. After score were counted the losing team was required to put on a stunt. In all-the party was a great success. h The next party came at Hallowe'en. It was held at the Jolon school- house. Everyone came masked, and a short program was given. We danced until eleven, and then ice cream and pumpkin pie were served. Our two benefit dances were given on November 10th, and April 21. They were not only a great success socially, but also financially. On May 11th a Field Day was held. Besides athletic contests between the various schools there was an interesting program arranged for the teach- ers' institute meeting on that day. On May 25, we gave a play entitled The cast of characters were as follows: Aunt Mary-A very wealthy spinster ......

It isn't the snow that calls me, It isn't the frozen ground, But it's the poppies in the meadow, With happiness all around. It isn't the dreary days that call me, It isn't the ceaseless pain, But it's the flowers in the meadow, And the sweet perfume that they all contain. It isn't the frozen nights that call me, It isn't the cold grey clouds above, But it's stars that seem to be calling, And the moon that shines from above. -Lawrence Calcagno. x, L43 'AD X E1 l Cx B- I x I I . As the shadows were fall- Thg Herlnlfs Dreajn ing on the surrounding at- mosphere a hermit jour- BY TOM MYERS neyed on his weary way to a small secluded pool, hid- den in the recesses of a large mountain. There were high stately trees bor- dering the pool on the westward side. Their leaves shimmering back and forth broke the golden rays of the sun, and caused all the colors of the rain- bow to fall in beautiful alluring colors on the rippling brook that ran into the pool. The limpid rolling water mixed with the surrounding stillness seemed to cast a spell over everything, that even the hermit could not break. He appeared as a silent dreamer held by this enchanted world. Feeling like a statue of stone, he stood on the bank looking down into the sparkling crystal pool seeing myriads of bubbles drifting past him. His attention was focused on one bubble that floated along in a care- free fashion. It traveled from the little brook clear across this magic pool, and stopped directly beneath him, being held there, it seemed, by silken strands. I'1lhere deep in the heart of the bubble he could see the future of the inhabitants of a little school in the southern part of Monterey County. There was Honest Ed. Stilts, who was boss of a section gang on a small railroad from a place called Bryson to a place called Pleyto. Boots Boutilier could be seen telling a large group of children, who the hermit presumed were his own, tales of his early school days. Bill Earl was still serving apprenticeship in the South Seas. John Myers was porter of the Royal Order of Ditch Dig- gers, and living in royalty. Kenneth Whittier, Joe Hall and Bob Peri could be seen going down the tracks, in the far distance. And still viewing them he could see them at night standing on old soap boxes giving their ideas on radicalism to a cosmopolitan group of fellow hobces. Bob Dasman was a peanut vendor on the Frisco water front. In sunny old Madrid he could see Lawrence Calcagno as a wine merchant. Tom Myers had retrogressed back to the stage of head-hunting in the Fiji Islands. Ernest Weferling was a successful Salome merchant in Bogota. Walter Gillett was the leader of an All-American Football Team in Hong Kong. Francis Watson was head solo- ist in a church choir in Afaghanistan. Ramona Duck was post-mistress of a large territory in Iceland. Pauline Martinus, Jennie Heinsen and Anita Weferling were language teachers in Constantiople. Vivian Dutton and Olive Ward were private secretaries to a couple of rich old bachelors in the beautiful city of Paris. Laura Lee and Edna Sands were nurses in a hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. The Hermit was enjoying the apparition hugely, and was turning to' the list of pedagognes and their future, when alas! a small unseen frog on the bank jumped into the pool breaking the fortune-holding bubble into many pieces. The surrounding world was now growing dark, and he must turn to go home. Nevertheless. a feeling of regret came over this ancinet man be- cause he would like to have beheld the future of such pople as those teachers who lived in the outer world, and who never entered this ancient solitary hermitage among these emerald-colored hills. In the Sour Owl Tavern The Sour Owl Tavern's Brave Man By TOM MYERS one evening in mid-summer, a group of colored gentle- men sat spinning yarns of supernatural things, each trying to outdo the other. One was by far the prince of braggarts of those present. While sipping their cold brown ale in silence, they listened to him tell his brave tales in a very interesting fashion. So engrossed in their tales were they they failed to take notice of the inn-keeper, who was ready to close for the night. It was past the hour of mid-night and very dark outside. Af- ter making the inn-keeper wait an extra hour they proceeded to journey home, all but one going the same way. This coon had to follow a winding path through a heavily wooded country. As circumstances would have it this coon was Peter Ebenezzer Penobscott, or the aforesaid prince of braggarts, journeying homeward. A foreboding atmosphere seemed to engulf him as he traveled across this phantom looking section. All the lurid tales that were told in the earlier part of the evening seemed to drift across his mind as he trundled onward. He started to whistle boisterously as he peeled his eyes in every dirction that a sound might come from. He kept up this mode of action till he rounded a path that led through a meadow. After proceeding a little farther, something assailed his eyes directly in front of him. His hair started to raise on end, he felt a peculiar feeling in the pit of his stomachg cold chills ran down his backboneg his knees rattled in their socketsg perspiration oozed out on his foreheadg his hands grew clammyg and his tongue stuck out with fright as he gazed on the white spectacle before him. As he saw one part swish through the prayed for speed, and started off at right. angles from where he was. He air in no particular direction, he vaulted a fence six feet high without any effort, and kept the ground hot under his feet. The white spirit proceeded to follow himg it came through the fence without a sound, which only terrorized the poor colored individual ten fold. They kept this up for a mile or so, with the thunder-struck coon leading by one lap. A small lake appeared in his path, or he would have gone farther. With his eyes to the skies, he muttered a prayer, and dived head foremost. He stayed under as long as a human being ever attempted to do, and arose wip- ing the water from his eyes. Slowly, very slowly, he moved his eyes from one side to the other, his optics appearing as saucers, as he beheld standing off a few paces, the unbeastly aggravating spectre gain-only in the form of his family cow lowing softly. , si-cw-wg 1 ,Mt Q A ., if 1 rg, M' , .,.- ,, ,1- reg,-if .X ' '?, i I I i l i r A. f' a jig:-,,-:lla I l il Q. l Il l. Ii l 0 In a queer little attic U Szgurd By JENNIE HEINSEN room with bare furnishings and scarcely any light, sat a young lady spinning. She was very beautiful, with a slight, straight figure, long golden hair, a noble forehead, and deep blue eyes. She was attired in a plain white garment, which partially covered her slender, graceful arms, and as the spinning wheel turned swiftly, she deft- ly handled the flax. Suddenly, the whirring of the machine stopped and rising slowly she went to the little door. A radiant smile illuminated her lovely face and seemed to bring sudden sunshine into the dark room. Gently opening the door, she said softly, Why father, what has brought you home so early? , Before her stood a small misshapen man not more than five feet tall. He had ungainly large limbs out of all proportion to his head. But his feat- ures were of almost feminine fineness, and from under his shaggy brows gleamed a pair of eyes which were passionately tender as he looked at Helen. He was called Sigurd. Are you not glad to see me then, Helen? he asked anxiously. Oh, yes, dear father, 'she said tenderly. Why? he asked. I am always glad to see you because sometimes I get-but there-You are probably fatigued and hungry, and I must prepare tea for you, she sid laughingly, a faint blush tinting her usually snow-white cheek. Her father then gently took her arm and led her into a chair beside him. Do not go now, for I have something I want to tell you. Helen you have often wondered why we live here together in this little attic room. Haven't you? Or why you are never allowed to leave and go to the village as other people do, or why you have such a homely misshapen dwarf for a fath- er? Helen, have you ever thought that I was not your father? A look of pain came into her clear blue eyes. Then taking Sigurd's hand she replied. Yes, often. But let us not talk about it, please, she pleaded. But we must, Sigurd replied. Yes, we must. I have now kept the secret too long from you. No, I am not your father, but one of the finest men that ever lived is. I am just your father's adopted son, and before I left him, I was as straight as an arrow. Never did he see me as I am to- day. We lived very happily in Norway, your mother, father, and I. I was twenty years old when you were born. When you were five years old your father was charged with murder, of which he was no more guilty than you or I. The shock killed your mother and your father pleaded that I should take you away until his honor was at least restored. I did so, and we have xiii ' lived here ever since. Helen, I have tried hard to make it comfortable for you here. Now, read this telegram I received from your father today. He stopped abruptly and handed the telegram over to her. She took it into her trembling hands and read- Helen and Sigurd, come home to me. Not guilty, Father. With her face illuminated with joy, she looked at Sigurd, but Sigurd was not happy. What is the matte1', Sigurd? She asked anxiously. Cannot we de- part at once for our father's house? Yes, you may, but not I, and he softly rose from his chair and started for the door. Helen was at his side in a moment. But you must go, father, for I would be very unhappy without you. No, he said sadly, I cannot let your father see me like this. Now go, and prepare yourself for departure. Say no more to me about it. Good- bye, Helen, I shall never see you again. Then he kissed her tenderly, and started toward the door. For a moment he paused and looked at her, and then he was gone. Sigurd! she called softly. But she never saw poor, misshapen, Sigurd again. The old Jolon Indian lan- guage was composed of very An . Indian Legend By RAMONA DUCK few words and one word had to answer many purposes. Several years ago a full- blooded Jolon Indian was asked the meaning of the word Jolon. He replied in his broken way: A long time ago my people gathered tulies. They tied them in bundlesg when they got plenty bundles, they pack them over the mountains to the ocean. Over there they weave them into a boatg then they gather pitch from the pine trees. They put pitch on the inside of the boat, and stop up all the holes, then they go on the ocean in the boat and catch fish. They called the boat Jolon. About a year later the brother of this Indian was asked the meaning of the word Jolon. And he said: Long time ago in the creek that passes near Jolon, there were little water holes with tulies growing in them, and these bunches of tulies were called Jolon.

The Frosh and Mr. Paterson were the op- ponents of the Sophs. After learning the game the Frosh and Mr. Patterson proved to be a good match for the upperclassmen. The new semester opened with the boys playing baseball. Then we played tennis as we had our new court finished. . Mr. Patterson has made special effort to see that this school has mass athletics. No one is barred from the sports. Our motto and policy is to develop in each student the spirit of good sportsmanship. We have not been prom- inent in athletics this yearg . , . Glrls Athletlcs that is, we have not played By EDNA SANDS any outside teams. However, we have had some interest- ing hard-fought games with the grammar school as well as inter-class games. Basketball and baseball have been our major sports this year, although we have also played volleyball and tennis during the latter part of the year. Our aim in athletics is not merely to win the game, but rather to create a spirit of good sportsmanship and to develop ourselves physically. Reminiscences. When I turn to my aged old album, And review the happenings long gone by, I dream and live over the good old days We had at Lockwood Hi. Those remebrances and old acquaintances I treasure and hold very dear, And as I think of those old time friends, I sigh and wish they were here. But gone are those friends of yesterday, And into their place come the new, Still those old time pals will always be friends, If I remain staunch and true. .-1 H 1 ,...L4.... --, I H all W S V x Im W-up V L N S .i7. pk?

E. Williams and Mr. R. E. Wamel' were the faculty advisers. This organization, to gain a high standard of scholarship, is becoming' very important in our school life. More and more are the students desiring to attain this society, and win the glory and privileges of an honor student. Members of the society have a privilege card that is given them by the faculty advisers. This card passes an honor student from class to class without stopping to write one. He merely holds his card so the teacher can see it and then goes where he wishes. He is also given the privilege of wearing a silver pin which bears the insignia of the State Federation. A student who has been in the society for six semesters is entitled to the offi- cial solid gold C. S. F. pin. The member who received the gold pin this year was Emmy Lou Rood. The average number of faithful students who have been constant members in the society is about twenty. A two-act play, Mr. Bob, many picnics, and other happy gatherings have been enjoyed this year. P. A. L. Organization First Semester Second Semester Nellie Eade President Doris Collins Bernice Powell Vice-President Alma Jean Knowles Bernadeen Dickey Secretary Marion Harrison Emmy Lou Rood Yell Leader Emmy Lou Rood This year the girls of the Players Athletic League have been raising money for a Girls' Rest Room. This room is situated in the left wing of the main building, adjoining Room 13 and the Editorial Room. As a means of raising money, the girls had a food sale at the H. A. F. Sz Co. which in- creased the P. A. L.'s treasury quite a bit. A pie sale was also given. This took place at noon hour in the front quad. Ten cent a slice was charged for the pie, and twenty of them were sold. As another means of raising money for the Rest Room, the P. A. L. gave a pay assembly. The dramatics class helped out by giving a one act play. In this way a considerable amount of money was raised in order to furnish the much coveted Rest Room. Every year the P. A. L. have a Mothers' and Daughters' Evening. Our mothers are invited to the High Sshool and are entertained by a short skit, then dancing, cards, and refreshments follow. This year we had a very de- lightful evening and were proud that so many of our mothers came. At a certain time'during the year the girls and boys of the eighth grades of the local and nearby Grammar Schools visit the High School. In- stead of waiting until the beginning of the new school year, the Pals ap- pointed big sister for the incoming 'girls on this Grammar School visiting day. In this way the big and little sisters can correspond or perhaps visit each other during vacation and thus be Well acquainted for the fall semester of 1928-29. .

The Dramatic Class is becoming more and more one of the most import- ant classes of King City High School. All the pupils who have taken dra- matics find it is a course which is very beneficial to them. It not only gives them the ability to act on the stage but promotes self-confidence and gives them poise which enables them to become better speakers-speakers who are not afraid to stand on their feet and talk. At first the pupils were taught how to use the different parts of their body in showing fear, surprise, etc., how to sit, walk, and gesticulate prop- erly. They found all these things vitally important in acting. Besides these they were taught how to make-up different characters. I After the above mentioned, they tried pantomiming, little children's recitations, and then the more difficult task of one act plays, which were presented as follows: WHISKERS Miss Sarah Adams-A rich spinster ...........,... ...........

HOME ECONOMICS The Domestic Science Class has been very successful in its work this year under the supervision of Miss Fitzpatrick. The cooking class consisted of twelve girls and the course was given on the meal plan basis. During the first part of the year the breakfast unit was taken up and articles were made that came under the heading of breakfasts Then the luncheon and dinner units were studied. After each unit was completed, the class was divided, and model meals were given in class with a certain girl acting as hostess. Each girl thus had an oppor- tunity to be hostess some time during' the year. Model luncheons or dinners were served to the Board of Trustees, Faculty, and Rotary Club. The sewing' class consisted of twenty-two girls and they worked on prob- lems to fit the needs of their wardrobes. The first of the year the girls started to work with materials that were easy to handle, making them into simple undergarments. Later, more difficult patterns were attempted, using materials that were harder to handle and harder to work with. As the girls wear uniforms, the first year class took up the problem of making middies. In the second year class, the girls made all kinds of wearing apparel and miscellaneous articles. Both classes made many pretty dresses a well as numerous fancy flowers and art gifts. ORCHESTRA The King City Union High School Orchestra has progressed rapidly this year under the leadership of Miss Hjelte, and has frequently appeared in public. It has played at all school plays, and has given four concerts.-at Greenfield, San Ardo, Lockwood, and King City. On March 2 the orchestra broadcasted a program over K. Q. W., San Jose. This was a great success and we received letters from nearly all states on the Pacific Coast, congratulat- mg Miss Hjelte and the Orchestra and asking to hear from our music de- partment soon again. At the Senior Vaudeville a Lay Symphony was given by the Orchestra. It also assisted at graduation. Many more students are learning' to play various instruments, and will join thc orchestra as soon as they are able to play well enough. The personel of the orchestra is: First Violins: Vivian Hughes, Emmy Lou Rood, Margaret Bachar, Claro Dasalla and Helen Wiley. Second Violins: Isabel Lesnini, Lorinc Annear, Vesta Newman, Paul Reich. Cello: Inez Metzler. Bass: Julia Biaggi. Flute: Evelyn Folks. Clarinet: Donald Yost. Saxophones: Leonor Hickey, Ben Pierce, Jessie Hughes. Cornets: Gladys Roocl, Peter Weaver, Alma Nicola. Melaphone: Henrietta Rich. Trombone: Vera Jessen. Drums: Dorathea Smith, Alexa Bachar. Piano: Belle Hughes. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Glee Club has assisted in many of the Student Body and P. A. L. programs this year and has made Wonderful progress under the able leader- ship of Miss Hjelte. Two stunts- The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers, anal The Dancing Tambourine, were given by the Glee Club at the Senior Vaudeville and a Sextette sang several numbers over the radio at the Or- chestra concert, and before our Rotary. The personel of the Glee Club is: First Soprano: Margaret Bachar, Alexa Bachar, Isabel Lesnini, Dor- othy Stone, Florence Wilsozi, Frances Dayle, Dorothy WVi1cy. Second Soprano: Gladys Rood, 'Vesta Newman, Myrle Rader, Belle Hug-hes, Inez Metzler. ' Altos: Leonore Hickey, Alma Nicola, Dorothy Robles, Madeline Tommasini. Piano: Emmy Lou Rood. Wood Work, Farm Mechanics and Mechanical Drawing Owing to an increase in the interest in shop work a large new building was constructed last summer for the shop department. Wood work, Farm Mechanics, and Mechanical Drawing are under the direction of Mr. Watts in this new building. The wood work students have completed many tasks this year. The first of the year was spent remodeling work benches and arranging new equip- ment. Stain cabinets were built for the stain room and shelves were con- structed in the tool room. The wood work students have made various things tor the different departments in school, such as stage scenery for the dra- matics department, and equipment for the physical education department, which helps to keep down expenses. They have also made things for them selves, such as cedar chests, bookcases, piano benches, lamp stands, nut bowls, foot stools, and picture frames. The wood and farm mechanics boys constructed a lily pool for the senior class this year in which the seniors are going to place an elctric fountain. These boys have also completed an elec- trical project. They wired and placed spot lights on the fence around the tennis court for skating at night. The Farm Mechanics Class, which is only on its second year of pro- gress in King City High School, has been veiy successful. This year they put a sheet metal extension on the furnace chimney and, when the pressure system exploded, they repaired the damage clone to the building housing the same. They built an auto trailer, a large poultry feeder, a wheel barrow, made cement walks and painted school equipment. The boys have done va- rious other jobs such as plumbing, harness work, soldering, welding and sheet metal work. The new Mechanical Drawing room was furnished with new desks and other equipment this year, which helps the Mechanical Drawing students a great deal. They have made a few blue prints for the local business men and a large drawing of the new shop. They also made drawings of all of the larger pieces of machinery in the shop. 1 W1 f ' f' ' K gb ,egg , AUTO MECHANICS Auto Mechanics is a new course that has been added to the Vocational Deparment since the new building has been erected. This course was han- dled very successfully under the direction of Mr. Mansfield, who is thorough- ly versed in this line. Seventeen were in this course for the first year, and all the boys ac- complished much in the past ten months. This course is excellent for those boys who stay on the farms, for it will enable them to fix the tractor, truck, or automobile with little or no trouble. Some of the work that was carried on this year was the remodeling of n truck, overhauling several cars of different makes, various lathe work, acetylene welding, and a thorough study on the principles of mechanical work. The boys that took Auto Mechanics are thoroughly satisfied with the course and are already advertising it on the outside, so look for a large class of enthusiastic boys for next year's Auto Mechanics field. AGRICULTURE CLUB President ............ ,.,,..,. C harles Clausen Vice President .A.,.,.. ......... G eorge Williams Secretary-reasurer ,.... ....... G eorge A. Sargenti Adviser ......... 1 ..................................,......................................,....,..... Mr. C. F. Fry The Agriculture Department has now completed its second year in the King City High School. At the beginning of the school year the prospects were not very promising, but as the first few weeks of school passed on the department reached a maximum in enrollment. The Junior Farm Bureau was re-organized, which helped to carry out the department's yearly program. The visit to the State Fair at Sacramento failed this year because of the school getting a late start. The Monterey County-Fair was postponed which also cut us out of extra project work. The class has made numerous field trips in order to become better ac- quainted with the farmer's ideas of this locality. Some of the trips we took were to the Salinas Land Company, California Orchard Company, Forden Farms, Patrick Farms, Spreckles Farms, and individually owned farms in this section. We also held many practice-judging' meets at the local farms in order to become acquainted with various classes of livestock, and to re- ceive practice for the Central Coast Counties' Livestock Contest in order that we may receive a chalice to ,fro to Los Angeles for the Southern California Contests. Duc to the success oi' the Agriculture Department this year, a third year course will be introduced in the fall which will enable more boys to work in the agriculture field. As a teacher, club adviser, and leader, Mr. Fry deserves much credit for his work in this department. fn lei' Ji , 1 The Printing Department of the King' City Uinion High School has completed its third year of success. The work carried on consisted of job printing' for the school district, printing the school paper, King Hi Ways, advertising matter, and part of the work on the school annual, La Copa de Oro. Printing By GEORGE A. SARGENTI, '28 A new plan was carried out this year which allowed only experienced printers at certain hours in the department, which enabled the shop to do faster and far better work as a whole. The department is much more complete and roomier than last year, be- cause of the remodeling' of the old shop unit into various rooms, thus giving' us a more up-to-date printing department. We want to impress it upon your minds that no commercial work is being' carried on in this department. Our linotyping has been done by the town printeries on a contract basis. This year's printing class looks forward to a much brighter future in the coming years of progress. It is a wonderful course and a good business for those who wish to take it as a life work. It also prepares one to work in large print shops without having to serve the first apprentice period. The Science Department, which i n c 1 u d e s General Science, Biology and Chem- , istry, has made good pro- gress under the direction of Mr. XVarner and Mr. Fry. Because of the large number enrolled in Science, it was necessary to sectionize the Biology and General Science Classes and to give Mr. Fry the latter. Science Department By ALICE DIGGES, '29 During last summer vacation the Science Department was enlarged and improved by the addition of the old agriculture room. With the improve- ments that have been made, King City High has an excellent Science Depart- ment for a school of its size. The Biology Class, as a project, landscaped and planted the area between the new shop and the main building. First the garden was divided by walks and drives into many diffferent prtsg then these were subdivided into various types of gardens. Some of these are the Rose Garden, Desert Gar- den, Perenial Garden, Pansy Garden, Rock Garden, Fernery, and the nursery. Much credit is due to Mr. Warner for the success of this project as he spent. many hours organizing the many plans into a unified whole. In conjunction with Chemistry, the class made a trip to Spreckels' Sugar Factory and studied the process of sugar making. They also made a trip to Forden's Farm to study the process of ice cream making. General Science, which is taught by Mr. Fry, is a course which covers all scietific work. It is the introductory course to any science. In this class, the different phrases of science are only touched upon.

Flores y Copas De Oro , inclinan en la brisa suave y lamentosa tal vez en honor de los benignos padres que ya no callejan las sendas, rezando el rosario, con cabeza silenciosa y reverencia. De vez en cuando en el palido crepusculo un gruno se oye, y tal vez si se acercara a las murallas antiguas, un coyote se descimiera tumandose alli. Guarda este las ruinas antigueas? Quien sabe? Suavemente y sin ruido los tiemblos se inclinan en una ultima oda triste a la mision. A nosotros de hoy dia poco nos significa esta mision pequent donde muchos anos ha nuestros ahuelos y los misionarios trabajaron mucho para civilizar nuestra California para que nostros pudieramos hallarla un sitio ideal por nuestros hijos. En los clias cuando Cali- fornia era el pais del la ro- mance, cuando las Senoritas con las mantillas y abanicos se detuvieron en el balcon para escuchar una serenata de guitarras habia un ban- dito llamando Tubucio Vas- quez. Este hombre era muy lamoso por su gallanteria y valor. Robaba mucho pero tenia tantos amigos que nadie podia capturarle por muchos anos. Como se efectuo esto es muy intersante. Tubucio Vasques enfado a uno de sus hornbres cuando agarro la esposa cle ese hombre, El hombre para vengarse fue a un abogado y le dijo cuanto sabia de Vasques y donde pudiera encontrarle. Entonces el abogado solto al honibre y fue a obtener unos hombres para capturar a Vasques. Vasques estaba en una choza en medio de una mesa grande, de donde. podia mirar por muchas millas en cada lado. Un dia cuando Vasques estaba sentado en el corredor de la choza vio un carro guiado por un hombre que venia a lo lejos. Vasques lo miro y lo re- conocio al hombre por un pobre que siempre acarreaba lena del rio. Vasques se sento otra vez y no hizo mas caso al pobre que venia con su carga inocente. Inocente? Pero no era inocente porque debajo de la lena estaban seis hom- bres, todos armados con rifles. Vasques fue herido por los hombres, y capturado. Despues fue ahorcado. Vasques era el bandito tipico de California. Robaba a los ricos y daba a los pobres. Vasques tenia muchos amigos pobres que se lamentarou mucho cuando fue matado. La Vida de Tubucio Vasques Famoso Bandido por ELTON TAVERNETTI The Mathematics Depart- ment has enjoyed a very sub- stantial growth this year, there having been more pu- pils enrolled in the various branches of mathematics than at any previous time in the history of the institution. The course in Geormetry gained the greatest number of pupils with some 28 students in the class. The Mathematics Department A large class in trigonometry was, howeve1', the feature of the year. This is one of the fields of mathematics that is of the utmost practical importance, and great interest was evinced in the work. In addition to the usual theoretical wo1'k involving the solution of all kinds of triangles, was the large amount of actual field work done. Thru the courtesy of Mr. Goodspeed of the California Orchard Co. it was possible to secure a very excellent engineer's transit and levelling rod. With this instrument available at all times, the members of the class were taught the principles underlying its care and use, and many trips were made to nearby points for the purpose of securing the data necessary for the computation of eleivations of various objects about the count1'y, areas of fields, distances to objects etc. In addi- tion to this type of work the elements of leveling were studied, and levels were run from the Bench Mark at the El Camino Hotel to different points about, including a short distance up into Pine Canyon. The members of the class taking part in the fieldwork were: Philip Collins, Donald Caddy, Roy Bray, Virgil Campbell, Robert Blashill, George Madero, Alvin Hablcs and Marion Mansfield. KING CITY UNION HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION An association of the alumni of the K. C. U. H. S. has been contemplated for many years but not until the month of June, 1927, had the initiative for organizing been applied. The 17th day of this month and year designated the birth of one of the most progressive organizations in the City of King and the only one that has been so closely connected with the Alma Mater that we, the members, have graduated from but have not forgotten. For the origin of this association, the members owe their deepest re- spect and appreciation to the Class of 1927 whose initiative and foresight made this association possible. Following its birth the association has proceeded to elect its officers and admit its members according to the constitution approved June the 24th, 1927, on which date the first regular meeting was held. At this time the follow- ing officers were elected by ballot to serve, to their best ability, the term of one year. Earl Garner, President, Phyllis Henry, Vice Presidentg E. L. Forden, Secretary and Treasurerg Beatrice Casey, Reporter, with a board of directors consisting of the following' members: Helen Hamilton, Dorothy Wasson, Loren Bunte, Robert Hamilton, Nellie Carlson. From the start, the association has kept its standards high by adopting .: purpose which scope covers agreat field and can he summed up in the fol- sas if Weis .li T' - 7 if If-Z ,',1i.5g if. lowing phrases: Preserve Comradship, Encourage Scholastic Attainment, Promote Co-operation, Develop School Loyalty, and Foster Good Sportmanship. The officers and members feel that, although the association is not a year old, they have satisfactorily promoted the purpose of this organization. As to preserving Comradship the association has been born and kept con- tinually filled with life. It has encouraged Scholastic Attainment by award- ing' a scholarship each year to one graduate of the K. C. U. H. S., with the- most initative for learning as shown by his or her grades in that institution of learning. The first award of 550.00 was presented to the graduate of the Class of '27 with the highest Scholarship. It is the hope of the association that in the future it may be financially situated to award a scholarship of a. larger sum. On October 29th, 1927, the association made public its progress by con- ducting a Hallowe'en Dance which it may be proud of as it can be truly said that it was one of the best conducted dances in King City. For its members, the association has had and will continue to have a' Home Coming once a year at which time all members possible meet socially- The first home coming was held at the El Camino Real Hotel, December 28th, 1927, in the form of a dinner dance. Further entertainment was pre- sented by and Mrs. Muldowny of Stockton, whose presence was made- possible by the splendid cooperation of Mr. H. 0. Williams. The next public event of the association was a theatrical appearance on Friday, the 13th of April, 1928-a very unique date and not very often possible. The following members appeared at this time in The Patsy with the most appreciated aid of Mrs. H. O. Williams: Elmer Forden as Tony Anderson, Joy Mansfield as Patricia Harrington, Helen Hamilton as Grace Harrington, James Pettitt as Billy Caldwell, Earl Garner as Mr. Harrington, Phyllis Henry as Mrs. Harrington, Juliette Lacrabere as Sadie Buchanann, George Anderson as Mr. O'Flarity and Bob Hamilton as Trip Busty. At the time of writing the association feels that it was the highest class of entertainment presented in King City. And to close the term of the first year the association had a dinner dance to celebrate its first anniversary at which time the graduat- ing class of the High School was welcomed into the association. Greatest oi' care was taken to make this event one of the best socially as the main purpose was the initiation of new members. The association heartily wishes to dedicate these few lines to Mr. and Mrs. H. O. Williams, Honorary Members, in appreciation of their untiring aid to the Alumni Association. In closing we may truly say that the ideals toward which we have been striving are fast becoming realities due to the hearty cooperation we have received from our members from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast of the United States.

W HEA VYWEIGHT BASKETBALL The team that represented King City throughout the season was com- posed of three regulars of the 1927 team and four members of the 1927 light- weight champions. The team ended the league season with three victories and three defeats, which is a very good record considering the strong' competition. The following players represented the Blue and White hoopsters: Captain Bob Parsonsg Miller and Hables, forwardsg Brownlee, Campbell, centers: M. Mansfield, E. Giacomazzi, and Gould, guards.

Every rally that has been held has been a great success, and the students showed that King City High is The school, when it comes to spirit. At one of the basketball games held in our Gym, a very effective ser- pentine, sponsored by the Honor Society, was put on between games. This had never been tried here before, but due to its success, it has been decided to have entertainment of this sort at games in the future. At Student Body rallies, the noise that the boys made always surpassed ihat of the girls, but at the games the girls were always there, yelling at their capacity and making almost as much noise as both the boys and girls at the rallies. I wish to thank every student, boy and girl, for the way he worked for his yell leaders. -Emmy Lou Rood Ox A- r .N ',..:' fvfji' FOOTBALL Starting the new season with four veterans of last year's team, Coach Huebel was able to put out a scraping squad, but the football season was not very successful because of the lack of weight. Thirty boys turned out for duty last fall. The players, being small and lacking weight, went through a tough football season. Most of the players' were un-experienced. With Virgil Campbell, Elmer Giacomazzi, John Car- doza and Virgil Reed, Coach Huebel was able to start the ball a rolling. At the beginning' of the season the team was furnished with new equip- ment, and a charging' machine was made for the boys to work on. The players were Virgil Reed, Captaing Virgil Campbell, Sidney Miller, Marion Mansfield, Howard Mansfield and Llewellyn Tully in the back field. On the line were Elmer Giacomazzi, John Cardoza. John Harrison, Elmer Gould, Toney Garcia, Edgar Brownlee, Francis McConnell, Clinton Thorne., Martin Mozzini, Philip Collins and Bill Harrison.

King City LIGHT WEIGHT BASKETBALL The Lightweights started the 1928 season with five members of the 1927 championship team and for a while looked as if they would win another cup. Then they became over-confident. When the league season ended the locals were credited with four victories, two defeats, and a tie. The locals had one of the strongest defenses in the league. The Blue and White Limiteds were represented by: forwards, Captain Mozzini, Leighton, D. Sobranes and D. Yostg centersg Hamilton and Garciag guards, H. Mansfield, P. Collins, Tunzi and Earle.

TRACK Track of '28 may be considered very successful. This is due to the very' competent coaching of 'Coach Huebel, the faithful training on the part of the athletes, and to the wonderful backing received by the track tea.m from the business-men of King City. SANTA CRUZ TRIANGULAR MEET' King City won the Triangular Meet at Santa Cruz. The meet was won by the final relay and was one of the most exciting meets of the season. Santa Cruz took second place, with Watsonville third. 'NORTH COAST MEET AT STANFORD In this meet, King City made 12BQ points. Considering the competition and the size of our school as compared with others, this meet was a great. success. KING CITY INVITATIONAL MEE'I ' The Invitational was won by King City. This was the biggest meet ever held in King City. Medals for this meet were furnished by the- business-men of King City. 'THE C. C. A. L. MEETS AT SALINASW The Lightweights took third place, while the Unlimiteds took second in the C. C. A. L. Meets. Both teams acquired more medals for their collection. The Unlimited Relay Team of King City furnished a thrill for the spectators by breaking the relay record in a. flawless performance.

Several interclass games were held, of which the Sophomores were victors. This makes the second year that this class has won the silver cup given as a trophy by George Anderson to the winning team. The girls naturally wish to keep the cup throughout their high school days, and if they keep up their good team work they undoubtedly will. On October 29, 1927, a Play Day was held at Santa Cruz. Many of the girls from the King City High School attended, and all reported a good time. On May 4th and 5th of 1928 another Play Day was' held at Asilomar. At these Play Days several games, such as baseball, soccer, baseball,basketba1l, volley ball, and tennis are played. Many girls from the several schools in the League attend. The girls are divided into groups for the various games- Many of our girls were on winning teams. Later on in the year, interclass volleyball was played. In this sport the Sophomore Class won the victories. After volleyball, interclass baseball was played. Several interesting games were played. At almost the end of the year, the All Star Girl's Basketball team of the high school played the Town Team Girls. Both teams were very good and competition was keen. The game ended with a score of 17 to 14 in favor of the high school. Part of the year was given over to track but as not sufficient interest was shown, this was given up for the more favored sports.
