F1 ,:' 1 GSX. I' ,,,, ,Nh ,jg- ' , ,.4 .auf v .- EDITORIAL The Annual Staff this year has had the same aim as the previous staffs have had-to make our year book better each issue. 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.
