W '- ' ' -Axsmfrq-za, PREFACE The last thing we find in making a book is to know what to put first. -Pascal. After a staff has finished its work, then comes the time when it must explain its purpose. Of necessity the staff of the 1929 La Copa de Oro has had the same pur- pose of every other annual staff in every other high school-to make its book the best possible. The theme of this year's book is fitting, we feel, because it is the school itself. WVe are proud of our buildings and grounds, the fountains and arches, and for this reason, we have reproduced them in our year book. It is with pleasure that we have recalled the activities of the year, but it is with labor that we have brought together these few pages. The assistant editors, Phyllis Starbird and Waunita Howard, and the literary editor, Mrs. Belle Hughes, deserve especial credit for their cooperation in writing and collecting material. The staff artists, Clara Huston, Lorine Annear and Mildred Eckles, who have been assisted by Jimmie Lynn and Alfred Ioppini, under the direction of Miss Naomi Millis, have cont1'ibuted much to the success of this book. Our, faculty adviser, Miss Helen Fox, is to be thanked for helping us, in directing our writing and in organizing our book. To the forty-two Seniors who leave King City High this year, we hope this book will be a creditable record of their high school years. -Marion Mansfield, Editor. --. ---wwf'-----Y-: 2 . 11,r: ? -,a.., 4 Ei SENSE AND NUNSENSE I 5 T pil in- il-I 'rlili UMM E!

Its arching lines, its roof of tile, lts patios where maidens smile Bring' to ones memory again The haunting tales of ancient Spain. The broad expanse of velvet lawn A welcome sight to look upon, Where many Various shrubs suggest A place for birds to build their nests, And where the western windows seem To catch the sinking sun's last gleam, A special garden one may see VVhere students learn Biology. NVithin these vast impressive walls The students comes when learning calls. And many a pupil finds it hard Until confronted with his card To realize, with due regard, That study brings its own reward. In each of us there should abide A feeling of the deepest pride To know our school has stood the test And stands out proudly with the best. And all of one accord should strive A spirit true to keep alive, That all who learn and labor here, Find a congenial atmosphere. So to our teachers, one and all, And to my comrades great and small And to our High School for all time, I dedicate this simple rhyme. -Gordon Plaskett, '30 lv .

She rubbed against Bil1's foot, Quick notice did he takeg A grin at once took root, Of fun he could awake. He slyly winked at Eddie, Who knowing did smileg For he was always ready, And quick to think of a wile. Bill stroked that coat of fur, As Eddie wistfully coaxedg She simply would not stir, And Eddie was ruefully hoaxed. A voice in soft stern tones, Bill, raise that window please. His fun he had to postpone, This opportunity Eddie did sieze. And this time he did succeed, For she ran straight to himg But he other matters did heed As a question was put to him. A front desk she did assign, And upward proceeded to climbg Elmer, please escort the feline, Outside the room at this time. Of the school cat now you've heard 1'm sure you'd already guessedg 'Twas Seniors that she preferred, With a mascot the class was blessed l i ., + b +f+f l'W yy, fQf wf U' h, 'V ,gt M ,, V - ' 1 'uw , WA N M il 'H NYJMT kr,-1 , Jlgj ,-N ' f'1 N.

SIENHOR CILASS CGflIlF'lI' An entrance gate to the athletic field was the class gift from the seniors of 1929. Two brick pillars support the steel arch into which are artistically built the words High School. On the left pillar is a bronze plate upon which is engraved the words Class of '29. This gate is lighted by two are lights, one at the top of each pillar. ' The class was undecided for a time what would be advisable to present the schoolg but, after much consideration, the gate was decided upon. Funds were provided from class dues and from the profits of the senior play. It is with pleasure that the class of '29 presents this gift to the school. We hope that it may be a source of enjoyment to the pupils, and that it will serve to beautify the grounds. Though pleased to see the dol- I mind my compass and my 4 -45 . url n g,,. J 71. .I -4 .

Many valuable thoughts were gained by the students. The invocation was pronounced by Father O'Keefeg and the Benediction, by Chaplain Bronson. The stage of the grammar school auditorium was very beautifully decorated with flowers carrying out the class colors. This year is the first in the history of the school that the Seniors attended one hundred percent. COMMENCIEMENT The Commencement exercises of the Class of '29 were held on June twelfth in the grammar school auditorium. The stage was beautifully decorated by the Juniors. The valedictory address was given by Donald Caddy, who won the honor for highest scholarship in his class. The salutatory was given by Verna Selleck, who won the second highest. President of the Senior Class, Vergil Reed, presented the Senior Class gift to the school. The senior with the highest average was then presented with the American Legion loving cup. The main speaker of the evening, Superior Judge C. J. Goodell of San Francisco, and who is a graduate of the University of California, gave a message to the meni- bers of the graduating class which will long be an inspiration to them. Music was furnished for the program by the high school orchestra. SENHOIR CLASS HHSTORY High School! This was our goal as we proceeded through the land of grammar school. At last, the long-looked-for day arrived, and on August 17, 1925, our group of forty-seven came to high school. During our Freshman year we were timid and greeng but not long was this Irish hue to remain, as we were soon perfectly capable of following our leaders, the Sophs and Seniors. As is always the case when a group of Freshman enter high school we wandered around aimlessly for the first few days, and a few really got lost in the endless maze of rooms and halls. However, the kind and sympathetic teachers guided us safely to their folds. On September eighteenth the upper classmen gave us the usual reception. We had to please them whether it pleased us or not, nevertheless, everyone had a wonderful time, and this actually included the Freshmen. At our first class meeting we elected Alice Digges, presidentg Dorothy Eade, vice-president, and Marlyn Lotz, secretary-treasurer. During the year we were well represented in athletics, 'especially in basket ball. Members of our class on championship team were: Elmer Giacomazzi, Martin Mozzini, Marion Mansfield, and l if. s ,ml f c5neE , gg i EQ,39 SENIOR CCILASS HISTORY fContinuedJ Edgar Brownlee. On the football team were: Vergil Reed and Marion Mansfield. The following boys of the Freshmen class received the K, C. block: Marion Mansfield, Martin Mozzini, and Vergil Reed. We felt that the success of the lightweight basketball team, which blqought home the C. C. A. L. championship, was due largely to our class, for six of our boys played on it. They were: Martin Mozzini, Marion Mansfield, James Bianchi, Edgar Brownlee, Philip Collins, and Edward Leighton. The class was proud of Vergil Reed who represented them at the State Track Meet held at Modesto, and at the Northern Section of C. I. F. Track Meet. The Sophomore class won the interclass championship and received the silver cup donated by the King City Mercantile Company. Boys who received special awards in athletics were: Vergil Reed, gold spikes, Martin Mozzini and Marion Mansfield, gold basketballs. During our Junior year we were again active in athletics. The Juniors won the Hables Interclass Trophy. This was the third year we had won it, so we were entitled to keep it. We also received the King City Mercantile Company cup after we had de- feated the Seniors in basktball. Various awards were received by members of our class. Seven pupils, Edgar Brownlee, Alma Jean Knowles, Lucy Mahler, Marion Mansfield, Beryl Morgan, Vergil Reed, and Louie Wasson received certificates for perfect attendance. At the stock judging contest given at Salinas in March, Charles Clausen took two first places. Lorine Annear and Mrs. Hughes were members of the orchestra which won the silver cup for the K. Q. W. broadcast at San Jose. The Junior play, Come Out of the Kitchen , was given in March. Those in the cast were: Alice.Digges, Edward Leighton, Marion Mansfield, Lewellyn Tully, Berna- deen Dickey, and Philip Collins. The Junior Prom, which was given in June, was a pronounced success. The many colored lanterns used in the decoration gave a very gay effect. Our senior year passed very 1'apidly because of our many activities. In athletics the following boys won letters: Edgar Brownlee, Marion Mansfield, Edward Leighton, Frank Tunzi, and Martin Mozzini. The senior girls who were in athletics were: Lorine Annear, Dorothy Eade, Inez Palmer, Verna Selleck, Marian Harrison, Vivian Dutton, Ruth Evans, Lucy Mahler, Beatrice McGuire. The senior play, Tommy , was given at the Grammar School Auditorium, February second. The cast included: Alice Digges, Edward Leighton, Bernadeen Dickey, Marion Mansfield, Llewellyn Tully, Donald Caddy, Alma Jean Knowles, and Frank Morton. Members of our class who were on the honor society during the four years were: Alma Jean Knowles, Marian Harrison, Lorine Annear, Alice Digges, Bernadeen Dickey, Beatrice McGuire, Donald Caddy, Marion Mansfield, Beryl Morgan, and Ruth Evans. VVe had numbered forty-seven the year that we entered high school 3 and now that we are ready to graduate we find that many have dropped out, and that others have come in. There are forty-two in the 1929 graduating class. Farewell!

Blue, when the sun is sinking, Green, when the clouds race high, Grey, when the rain drops scramble Down to the sand from the sky.

She was met at the docks by Frank Anselmo Tunzi, the great harmonica soloistg Elmer Jasper Eade, the daring cowboy of the screeng and Donald Ven- dome Caddy, a well known hotel man of New York. Mayor William Lee Harrison of New York, the flying mayor, headed a parade up Broadway which proved to be a greater event than the welcome given Lindbergh. Despite the fact that photographers and news boys detained them, they were rushed to the Long Island estate of Wil- liam Percival Shuey, Jr., who answered to the name of Little Lord Fauntleroy while attending high school. Miss Digges will be carried by airplane from New York to King City. Col. James Lynn, formerly of stray cat alley, will pilot. On arriving Miss Digges was wearing a stunning gown of white cheese cloth. The designer of the gorgeous gown was Monseiur Vergil Reed, who has his main American office in San Ardo. While in New York, Miss Digges at- tended a large banquet given by Miss Bernadeen Dickey, Broadway's favorite actress, and Harold Isaac Boutelier, famous entertainer of Coney Island. This event was a howling success, ac- cording to Chief of Police Elmer Polen- ta Giacomazzi, who called out the patrol wagon at the order of a neighbor who claimed that these people were making too much noise. Salinas Man Wins Beauty Contest Salinas, June 12, 1940 CO. OJ-Mr. Elton Tavernetti of Salinas was today judged the most handsome man in captivity.

Lawsuit Case Opens Today Greenfield, June 12, 1940. CA. PJ- Miss Edna Biggs, well known photo- grapher of Greenfield, is sueing Dorothy Eade, well known society woman from King City, for breaking her camera while taking a picture. Miss Biggs was severly bruised by flying parts of her camera when the film was exposed. Two world famous women lawyers, Lorine Annear and Alma Jean Knowles of San Lucas, have been called upon to fight the case. The former is taking the part of Miss Biggs while the latter is Miss Eade's private lawyer. Lawyer Lorine Annear's chief argu- ment is that Miss Eade's pet rat scared the photographer, causing her to upset the camera which caused the explosion. Lawyer Knowles argues that the film had a flaw in it. Ten policewomen have been ordered to the court house to prevent any scuffles that might occur.

SIENIIOIRS When the years roll by, as I'm sure they will For they always have before, We'll, no doubt, think of our dear old school, And we'll love it more and more. We'll think of the fun we used to have In showing the frosh our school. We'll think of the sport the sophomores had In throwing them in the pool. We'll gaze on the beautiful senior bench, The fountains, and our gate, And realize that our school life had Some influence on our fate. Our classmates all will have gone their way, Some into foreign lands, Some will have ventured into the north And some to the burning sands. Our class mates' sons and daughters now Have the seats we used to hold And they, no doubt, give the same excuse That their parents often told. They do not seem to realize 'llxat their parents once were youngy Nor do they ever stop to think That life has just begun. And so it is, we memories hold, And the cycle of life goes on. The new ones do the things we did, And then their days are gone. 1-Charles Clausen, '29 2 f-'-15331251 T 'jf' egiagv J. ij t :reserve .FUNHORQLS OFFICERS .

M i s s K napp The Class of '30 started its third year with forty-seven members, and with Miss Knapp as class adviser. The Junior class has been active in many affairs of the school. We had a very good record in scholarship having more members in the Honor Society than any other class almost every quarter. The representatives to the society were Waunita Howard, Phyllis Starbird, Vesta Newman, Jennie Heinsen, Leonor Hickey, Opal Carr, and Vera Jessen. Leonor Hickey was editor of the King Hi-Ways both semesters, and did credit- able work for the school. A Our representatives in the executlve council we1'e Frank Morton and Vesta Newman. Six from the class, Leonor Hickey, Vera Jessen, Peter Weaver, Vesta Newman, Jessie Hughes, and Ben Pierce were in the school orchestra. 1. lx L Cf?-'-iUVE '-9 ----- Vaci' 1 g,FQ!.:.24r,' -1- 35311:-me The girls on the inter-class basketball team were: Jennie Heinsen, Leonor Hickey, Vera Jessen, Elda Nicola, Madeline Martinell, Waunita Howard, and Clara Huston. The girls having won the inter-class games for three successive years now retain the cup offered for the championship by George Anderson. The boys representing us in athletics were Howard Mansfield, Jack Hamilton, George Anderson, Bob Vasques, Joe Nunez, John Cardoza, Frank Morton, Peter Weaver, Fred Harper, Clarence Schmidt, and Harold Record. On May the twenty-eighth the Junior play, The Family Upstairs, was pre- sented in the grammar school auditorium. Due to the unceasing efforts of Mrs. Williams, the coach, the play was a great success. Probably the most important event for us this year was the Junior Prom. The gym was decorated with moss. In the center was a beautfiul fountain with a rockery around it. The ceiling was raised high enough to allow spectators to sit in the balcony and watch the dancing. The whole room was 'decorated very beautifully. During the course of the year several members have gone away or dropped out, but new students have come to fill their places. As vacation is fast coming on we realize that soon we shall be seniors, and we must take our places as leaders in the school activities. In closing we wish to thank Miss Bertha Knapp, our class teacher, for her devoted attention to every member and every need of our class. We feel sure that without her guidance we should not have been able to succeed in the many activities we have undertaken.

George Ramos Fifty-eight ambitious Sophomores entered the King City Union High School, September 4, 1928 with a determination to surpass their former records. I The first week of school we were occupied with introducing the new freshmen to the cold waters of the shower room. When this wore off we planned a reception for them to be given September twentieth. On that evening we were hosts to Mr. Warner, the Freshman adviser. - The Sophomore girls had a very good basket-ball team. They defeated the Senior and Freshman class teams, but were beaten by the Juniors. This barred them from any chance to win the interclass championship cup. A few of the Sophomore boys, Ray Davis, Dan Soberanes, George Ramos, Donald Smith, Tony Garcia, and Loran Giacomazzi were active in football, basket-ball, and track. V ,ns l Plf'..EElE 3 sn'-gizrgiow-2 The class took a large part in the carnival on April fifth, which was given to raise money to finance the annual. During one of the King City vs. Pacific Grove games, the Sophomore banner disappeared. This banner was green and white, and was of very unusual design. It is soon to be replaced by a new one. Girls of the class who represented us in basket-ball were: Alexa Bachar, Irma Copley, Frances Eckerich, Dayle Gould, Hazel Harrison, Jaunita Hudson, Isabel Lesnini, Alma Nicola, Charlotte Wiley, Myrle Rader, Dorothea Smith, and Dorothy Wiley. Members of the Honor Society were: Regina Vosti, Laurent Layous, Isabel Lesnini, Alma Nicola, John Lombardi, and Dorothy Rist. We wish to thank Mr. G.

George Beck Seventy-nine new students entered the King City High School on September 4, 1928, as Freshmen. As the name signifies, we were a green and timid group at the reception, which was given in our honor later in the month. At this reception, we had a wonderful time, under the supervision of our foster-mother, Mr. Warner. Never since have we seen so many cowboys, cavalieros, and shieks. The Sophomore-Freslnnan tie-up was a stiff contestg and the Sophomores were defeated. We were represented in the Honor Society by Albert Rist, James Kelly, and George Beck. Many names were on the honor roll. Boys of the class representing us in football were: Albert Rist, Curt Harnisch, Exline Brown, Donald Wiley, Frank Morasci, and Hazlett Villa. In basketball we were represented. by Albert Rist, Frank Morasci, Hazlett Villa, and Curt Harnisch. We were defeated in the Junior-Freshmen Interclass game. Albert Rist was captain of the Freshman team. - - afigsge qs. ,vii-jg 'f k:15yy.f.x The class was deeply stricken with grief at the untimely passing of Eugene New- man, our esteemed classmate and president.

In the early morning sunlight When the whole world is awake To the student's weary eye A pretty sight they make. If there weren't any dew drops, And the grass was always bare: Where would be the work of God Or Nature's hand out there?

It sang the sweetest song I've heard, Sweeter than song of man or bird, It filled my heart with joy and peace, I knew this song would never cease. This sparkling fountain bright and clear, Gladdens the hearts of students here, With its brave and cheering song, As happy school days pass along. , -Ruth Evans '29 EVEN THOUGH DEEEATEDHJWHN After all is said, but not done, Act as though you liked it, and won. The one who beats may not be the winner, He or she may rank only as a beginner. Success will not just come to you, Only through work do dreams come true.

Let us imagine ourselves on a beautiful hilltop seated at the base of a tall, magnificent pine. Hear the deep, mournful tone 'of its voice as the wind blows through its branches. Listen! It speaks. I am El Pino Alto. For years I have stood on this very hilltop, watching the progress of puny man. Ages ago, when the Indians inhabited this country, I was just a wee little sapling. I saw many a young brave climb into the highest branches of my larger and stronger brothers to view the surrounding country for sight of any possible enemy. At night, when the moon was full, this hilltop served as a trysting place for young Indian maidens and lithe, young warriors. Alas! the Indian has vanished. No longer may my people whisper sad warnings into the ears of strong Indian chieftains or sigh sweet, mournful tunes for the hearts of young Indian lovers. . When I was nearly mature, the Spanish came into the country. They were a gay race. Always laughing, singing, dancing. Rodeos, fiestas, merrymaking filled their lives. Under the surface of their gay, carefree souls there was a deeper note. They were very religious. They built many beautiful missions and many a Spanish priest roamed the country, praying, spreading kindness, giving sympathy and love. From them I received my name, El Pino Alto, the tall pine. Sometimes a shy, young senorita would come to me on moonlight nights to dream of some daring Spanish cavalier. Once in a while a priest w.ould rest at my feet while passing to some distant village or mission. He would listen to the deepness of my voice and pray to God to make him strong like El Pino Alto so that he might travel far and do more good in the world. After the Spanish, the English,-then gold-California quickly became the melt- ing pot of the nations. Other races came and Californians have prospered. They have built great cities, railroads, bridges. They have little time to spend in dream- ing, in talking with nature, or even worshipping their Creator. They care not at all for El Pino Alto. Now that I am very old, and soon to die, they leave me to stand alone, more sorrowful than ever before. They care not for my sad whisperings or the wonderful tales I tell. They do not listen. They are busy, harsh, and cold. They do not know that my people will go on living after man has perished from the earth. We have heard the story of El Pino Alto. Let us come more often to listen to the tales that it has to ,tell. Let us profit by its story. But list! The wind is rising. Pino Alto is moaning louder and louder, it is calling to us from its soul. Our hour has passed. We must go back to our material world, but may we more frequently dwell with El Pino. -Alma Jean Knowles, '29 I l fz, ,-.- 37's ' JC!-,-I r il Gigi A C-BBIESJ A SENTINEL Ulf' OLD CALIFORNIA In a forlorn and desolate canyon slumbers an old crumbling adobe house. The once white walls have aged until they have become almost as grey as the sage brush that grows near by. An old, half destroyed mud wall surrounds it. The roof is covered with grey-green moss and the timbers that uphold it are worm eaten and scarred. One solitary oak stands by, casting its meagre shade on the old house as if to protect it. ' In the past this house, now deserted and old, was the scene of merry fandangos which often lasted for several days at a time. The merry laughter of the young girls with their bright shawls and roses in their -hair, rang through the rooms. Courteous Spanish gentlemen rode on their pinto ponies from far, and near to visit and court the black-eyed, red-lipped senoritas. Old Spanish minstrels played the flute and violin to the click of the heels and castanets. Rodeos, with the riders, in bright shirts and fancy chaps brought excitement, and good times in the spring of the years. Priests and missionaries who walked from one mission to another to convert the Indians, rested here for the night. Early the next morning the people of the house rose to hear the mass in their own little chapel. Years later robbers had hidden their booty here after holding up stagecoaches, and travelers, in the village saloons. Ahole dug at the side of the great fireplace still remains to tell the story of their hidden treasure. In more recent times hunters watched deer from its broken windows. Now it remains but a ghost of its former self. Yes, only a ghost of memories and traditions. Owls sleep in its rafters in daytimeg crickets nest in the cracked wallsg while mountain wood peckers have made it their winter storehouse for acorns. Squirrels have dug holes under the floors and they often sit in the windows like little elves. Its cracked walls echo and reecho the wail of the wild cat and coyote. In the winter, dismal winds howl around the corners and through the cave-like windows as if they were thespectres of the departed once more come back to the scene of old revelries. To the casual passer by, this is only an old house, melancholy and unkempt, but to those who reflect, it brings thoughts of the glamourous days and traditions of early California. -Julia Biaggi '29 . f'l f.,,,, A ' C533 , fb are ,g.FinFs FORD lDl11RlIVIElilkS The different models of Fords always seem to have distinct types of drivers. In this composition, I will try to explain clearly just what kind of person I expect to find in each. In a Ford sedan, one finds an old man driving with his wife, also old, who sits in the back seat. He drives very slowly and carefully, but this does not keep his wife from telling him that there is a curve ahead or a car coming down the road. She is nervous and sits on the edge of the seat, tapping him on the shoulder and talking most of the time. A middle aged couple, with about five children sitting in the back, use the Ford sedan. It is very crowded, and the children are uncomfortable, climbing around, and their sticky fingers and ice cream cones are in evidence. A Ford coupe always seems suitable for a young married couple. They sit close together, he, always drives with one hand. There are many suitcases and bundles on the sides and back. They always look happy and drive slowly. A young girl, with many books, tennis racket, and fancy pillows, also drives the Ford coupe. She is generally accompanied by a few girls. She drives fast. A Ford truck suggests a country business man or a farmer. He is alone, or taking his load of grain, or livestock to market. He always appears to know where he is going. , The Ford touring car is driven by two distinct types. The first is a middle aged man of moderate circumstances. He has the top up and sits very st1'aight. He drives slowly and becomes nervous in traffic, always giving the other fellow the benefit of the doubt, and very often, killing his engine. The other type is the young high school boy. The top is always down and his car ivl decorated with inscriptions written on a rusty looking background. There may also be a bent fender or two. It is always crowded to capacity, and he drives as fastias he can make the Ford go, frightening pedestrians, until the older people wonder what this younger generation is coming to. A black Ford roadster is usually used for commercial purposes, salesmen often prefer it. It is a shiny black with the top up, and, as a rule, has the inscription of the company on the doors. These drivers are always sensible, good drivers, and they drive fast. A Ford roadster of no definite color, traveling down the highway as fast as it will go, is usually occupied by a young boy. It is much easier to hear this vehicle than to see it. The top is always down, and if the driver is alone, he is sitting sideways in the seat. As the car approaches, you can see the steam and water coming from the radiator, rusting the hood and making its color still more questionable. Last, but not least, comes the Ford delivery wagon, driven by a smart young man just out of school. If you ask him, or if you don't, he will tell you that he knows more about traffic laws than anyone else. He never waits for anything or anyone, and he enjoys traveling around corners on two wheels. -Leonor Hickey, 30 . as . s COURTESY, A NEAR VlIlQ'll'lUlE Courtesy is one of the essentials of life. It is an attribute which is always in styleg it is not like wearing apparel to be worn and then discarded. It is something which everyone should be willing to learn and always ready to put into practice. However it can be said that courtesy changes with fashion and custom and that each country has its own specific rules. But the general principles underlying courtesy in any country or in any age may be summed up in that old proverb, Do unto others as you would be done by. . Years ago when long full skirts were in vogue, it was the custom for men to bow above the hand of the lady. Present courtesy no longer requires this. The handshake and the tipping of the hat have taken the place of the bows for Americans of today. The present custom of hat tipping goes back to the time when men wore armor. They then lifted the visor to their helmets. In the generations to come our m'odern courtesy may give way to some other salute which as before, will fit the apparel of the wearer and the habits of the individual. It has been said that today men have less regard for women than in the former times. This is not so. It is only that less ceremony is practiced toward women now. The idea of assisting one another is a thought of courtesy. It applies in everyday life in the way we act toward our friends and parents. Courtesy is a standard of culture and good breeding. Never be boisterous and noisy in public places, as it might give a bad impression of yourself to the by- stander. Make it a point to be courteous just as you should make it a point to do all your other tasks. This will reward you with a greater peace of mind and a de- finite sense of poise and well-being. -Julia Biaggi, '29 -Ruth Tucker, '30 ABANDONED Tired from my walk from town, I sat down on the steps of an old school house, and regarded it curiously, as I bit into my sandwich. The worn board steps, the broken windows, the narrow door, seemed surrounded by a vacant, dejected atmo- sphere. This impression grew even more vivid as I entered. Inside I found a page torn from some primer. In part, it told the story of Robin Hood. Strange to meet such a daring character of fiction in this quiet place. I noted the broken desks, the old organ, and the scarred black boards. On one somebody had carved: Nellie and Dick, 1879. I wondered who they wereg perhaps they are dead now. I heard a door slam. The wind must have blown it shut, I said, but I waited expectantly to see if anyone was entering. '1'hey're never coming back, I told the old building. Why are you waiting? Nothing but the gnawing of a mouse answered me, and I suddenly realized that I was 'terribly alone with the mute old school house ghosts and it memories.

Pa-Else:-Q AS FATHER 'IFIEILILS IIT A boy came to me the other day, and this is the tale he told. Parents are funny things, said he, my mother and father always disagree. Unbu1'den your mind, said I. You know about the trip we took last summer? Yes. Ma and pa don't agree about anything connected with that trip. Ma says we started August twentieth. Pa says we started on the twenty-first. To tell the truth we started at midnight. Huh, I said. The other night when the Smiths were over, dad and Mr. Smith talked about vacations. We surely had a wonderful vacation, at least dad said so. Mother said that she thought it was awful. I thought that it was pretty good. Where did you go? I asked. Nevada, he retorted, we went by way of San Francisco and Reno. Dad says we went too late to see everything in good condition. Again ma doesn't agree. Anyway, they both agree that home is the best place after all. No matter where you roam, be it land or on the sea, There is no place like home, don't you agree with me? At least dad does: so does me. Now, my friends, I think my chum has given you a glimpse of family life. -James Kelley, '32 TIERIQUIIBILY IFRIIGIHITIENIEID As I walked past the cemetery, a wild, blood curdling scream rent the air. I used all my will power, but I cou1dn't get started. Again I heard that eerie screeching. It wasn't I that didn't want to gog it was my legs. They just wouldn't cooperate with me. If I had seen a ghost, I Wouldn't have been able to move. It wasn't a ghost. It was a panther. This time my legs showed cooperation. Down the road I sped. Even a falcon couldn't have touched my dust.

THE CROWD Most of us fight, might and main, against being just one of the crowd. We want to be something high, and grand, and fine, which, after all, is a worthy ambition. But we forget that the highest, finest thing we can be is just folks It's hard to be just plain ordinary people when we see some new star flashing forth. We yearn mightily to do a little flashing around, and everyone is convinced that he has some hidden gift the world ought to know about. All he lacks is a chance to flash it. But after all, it isn't only the bright luminaries that really keep the world going around. It's just the plain, ordinary people-those that do the humdrum things faithfully. When troubles come and things go wrong, somehow, it's seldom the high-ups that come to your aid, that come to pick you up, and to see what is hurt. At least, they are not to be counted ong but the ordinary people are. They don't have to come running because they are already there, and they don't ask if they can help, for being one of us , they've probably been hurt, too. It is trite but true that there is plenty of room at the top of the ladder. But, would there be room for all of us at the top if we could get there. And if there were, who'd be the audience for the star performers to play to? Who'd do the climb- ing? Plain people are necessary for star performers to rise, indeed, for them even to be. -Juanita Hudson, '31 AN EVERY DAY OCCURRENCE Quiet, silent halls, the business of school is being carried on. Three-thirty-five. That last bell rings. Instantly scores of boys run, push, scurry and even pass the speediest of the fairer sex. All this rush is merely to get to class rooms first to grab books in preparation for leaving. Then comes the second rush to to obtain a choice seat on the bus next to his or her pride of the school. The teachers who venture into the quads before the busses leave may be seen threading along hoping that some Frosh's legs will carry him in the opposite direction. Busses have their passengers, the doors are closed, they are off. Automobiles of various makes and sizes rush down Faculty Avenue. Squeaking brakes, honking horns tell the walking pupils that they want the right of way. Teachers then drag home with tired expressions on their faces. Pupils and teachers goneg the school is now in charge of the janitor and the school cat, who may be seen occassionally leaving one room to enter another.

Whenever the question of clothes or brains is put before us, we are prone, without thinking, to immediately agree that brains are the most important, of course. Clothes, after all, do play a very important part in our every day life. Whether it be in our school life or business it makes no difference. If our clothes are of the proper sort and they fit us well, we feel less self con- sciousg our recitations, if it be in school, can be given with more self possession. The student is then more capable of keeping his mind on his subject, and there is no little annoying defect about his appearance to distract his attention and cause him to blunder or even make him uncomfortable. Then, too, clothes help to build the personality of an individual in the eyes of another person. One may have brains, but if he does not care a little about his clothing, who wants him around? You might be ashamed to call him your friend. So it is when a person goes to find a position. Brains are not all that will count. Appearance is very important, too. Who wants anyone to hold a responsible position for him, if he is untidy, and looks like the vintage of years before. On the other hand, one can think too much of clothes. To dress improperly, to wear the wrong clothes at the wrong time, to over dress, or to look freakish in trying to keep up with the dictates of fashion, is the sign of a weak brain. It seems that brains and clothes are very closely related. To progress it is very hard to do without either good clothes or brains. -Maymie Smith, '30 MOVIE MADNESS There seems to be a common disease among some of the pupils. This so-called disease is movie madness, or going to shows night after night regardless of whether the show is entertaining or not. For some unknown reason, it seems that the more impossible the show happens to be, the more it is enjoyed. Many go to movies con- tinually to see the same impossible plotg silly comedians doing doubtful stunts, unreal love scenesg dashing cowboys shooting in every direction, and terrible mystery thrillers. This practice brings about tiredness, school work done in a hurry, and it may dull one's sense of value of the really beautiful things of life. Moving pictures have an important place in education, if they are properly chosen. Many schools recommend pictures to their students and very often pictures and slides are shown in the schools. However, it must be remembered that all pic- tures are not educational. A show or picture should be chosen think of reading a book simply because it show just because it is a show. There are and one gains much real value from them. like a book, with care. No one would was a book, and no one should go to a types of pictures that are the very best, If a good picture comes to town on a school night, make it a point to do your homework early and go to see the picture. The teachers would not object to this as the knowledge gained may help in school life as well as in studies. -Julia Biaggi, '29 were 'gg -e any CAMERAS DON I' LIE Look at that map! Anybody knows I don't look like that. As a photographer that guy is a good wood chopper! These and many other mild ejaculations issued forth from the senior room early one morning when proofs for their indvidual annual pictures were received. There were many disappointing and humiliating scenes in the den of our high and mighty seniors as they gazed on that which they had thought was faultless. For seventeen or eighteen long years they had looked with pride and admiration at their lovely visages in the mirror and now to have some photographer send them a relic like that. I tell you it was heart breaking, and many of our loyal sons and daughters broke down under the strain. After several nearly Bolsheviki meetings it was heartily agreed to have new pictures taken. But, alas! the camera just simply wouldn't lie. You cou1dn't possibly get a dimple on your cheek, in the picture, if you didn't have one, neither could you conceal the fact that you were cross-eyed. But, after all, photographers are human beings, and they cannot be expected to work miracles. -John Myers, '29 1 ' , , . J . V I1-,, 5 Lf ,X 1 Ili!! . . -,j sg , f -as - I V Q I i y H 0 If ' , i .

The northern skies were streaked with a lighter red, and to the south bright splashes of pink could be seen. The eastern sky was a sea of blue, and here and there were specks of fleecy white clouds. When the clouds finally disappeared, the sky was left a deep blue, through which the evening star shone like a diamond. The moon, rising over the hills, was a ball of fire, hanging by an invisible thread. As the night was casting long shadows over Mother Earth, there came a sweet call of a night bird--then silence. The world was at rest! -Pauline Martinus .FCONAIHI A party of boys and girls were sitting on the beach talking listlessly, idly running sand through their fingers and gazing thoughtfully at the sea. Suddenly one of the boys spoke to an old man who was painting a tug boat. Tell us a story, Cap'n. Yes, do, Cap'n please, chorused the rest of the children. The man referred to as Cap'n took his pipe from his nrputh and spat on the sand. A story? he said. What kind of a story? One about some of your adventures, suggested one little girl. How about suthin' that happened to me in the navy? asked Cap'n. Yes, yes, they assented. t'Wal, he started, Once long 3.gV0 when I was in the navy a sailin' the south seas we met up with a turible storm. The wind blew fer days and waves as high as mountains rolled and dashed over the deck of our ship, the Sary Ann. One night while I was off watch catchin' a few winks a sleep I was awakened by loud shouts and a lot er running. I jumped from my bunk an' ran to the deck. Man the life boats, cried the Captain, We're reefed here and sinking fast. Now can you imagine braving the storm in a small boat, but there was no other way. The crew lept for the life boat and soon we were at the mercy of Ole King Neptune. Wal, we tried to row but 'twas no use, our little boat capsized. I tried to swim but was carried under by a mammoth wave. Next thing I knew I was being chased by a shark. I swum as fast as possible but Mr. Shark swum faster and soon caught ahold of my leg and then ...... here Cap'n paused dramatically and looked from one group to the other. And then, whispered the children tensely. An then what happened? How did you get away. HI didn't, replied Cap'n with a chuckle, his eyes twinkling gayly, as he returned his pipe to his mouth, The shark ate me.

Allllk NO'lI'lESaH11941dD It was a rainy, sleety day in November, but little did that matter because nearly all the business is carried on above the clouds. The air was filled with airplanes of all sizes and the screeching of traffic whistles and horns was terrific. From his aerial service station on cloud Cumulus-Nimbus, Bob Myers rubbed some Eastern Medium from the bridge of his nose, yawned, arose from his chair, and walked up to Ramona Duck who was busily typing the cash reports. Heavy business last night-these cash reports are the deuce anyway, he muttered. These fast flying flappers and dudes sure bring in the money at night time, but plenty of 'em get wrecked, he said as he examined the contents of the top drawer of the cash register. Here's another one of those Pauline Martinus checks. I thought I told Phyllis Burns, my assistant, not to take any more of them. Like as not it's no good. Them flyin' salesladies is always over-drawin' their ac- counts. I don't see how they make enough to keep themselves supplied with toothpicksf' A loud roar is heard and professor Leonard Allen comes taxying down the runway in his Travelaire. Ho there! he cried. Fill her up in a hurry, sonny, I have to get to station H. O. W. L. by eight to deliver my morning lecture on Plagiarized Pit a Pats. And its 7:59 already, unless I open her up for about 500 per I won't be able to make it, and Bill Earl, the radio operator, will lose his job. How- ever in spite of his pressing engagement he manages to carry on a lively conversation with Bob. While Phyllis is tending to the gas, says B-ob, I will rub some of Weferling's Water-Wind Wax on your propeller and increase your air waves per second. Anita sure did a wise thing when she put this on the air market. They say she's rolling in wealth now. Too bad Mildred can't invent something too-she'll never get rich up here on a cloud telling airplanes when they can stop and go. I hear her now shout- ing to Marie Heinsen not to go so fast in the congested traffic. That sure is a swell Fokker, Walter Gillett is flying around in, too. He's quite a big bug at Washington in agriculture work, delivering lectures on how tb raise better house top gardens. He got a good start in club work back at Lockwood High. Well, so long, Bob, I'm already a minute late to that lecture. I'll have to hurry on. Give that propeller a flip, will you? Phyllis, you watch the station while I go across the way to Beatrice's new Supreme Restaurant for some Aereated Julip Tea. Here comes Margaret Murray in her old 1935 Ford Plane. Now you can hash over all the Lockwood scandal. All right, but hurry back.-Hello, Mugs, how are all the children? Are they still taking Musical Mastication Methods from the Honorable Crescendo Topham D. S.? Dorothy sure makes 'em mind. Yes, they are getting along fine, although little Azierbaijan got into the main air way the other day with his winged tricycle and got hurt so badly in a crash with that reckless driver, Marie Heinsen, that we had to call in Dr. Sands to set his tibia. She is quite an eminent surgeon, and among her corps of helpers we found Olive Ward, hammering away at a typewriter, making out case records. Oh, here comes Bob and he's bringing us some of Bea's famous tea. Thanks, Bob. You're an angel. We'll have a glass of it before we go down to earth. -Anita Weferling . g . . in f- . ii, ,e is - REI i-,-,L C-3 ,fi 'lI'lI-HHS COUNTRY STORE At the cross-roads, in a little valley, stands the country store. Its sides are plastered with long-forgotten ads telling of some Grand Ball at Sneed's Hall on August fifth, nineteen hundred and two, and that Old Star is the best kind of tobacco to chew. Behind the store are several stunted oak trees, one of which shelters a delapidated fringed surrey that has been serving as a chicken roost. As you approach the building, you are greeted with a snarl from a thin dog who reposes under the porch, but who arises and sticks his nose through a hole in the boards and gazes curiously at you as you draw near. Upon entering you are greeted with the smell of stale tobacco smoke and mouldy cheese. A drowsy clerk shuffles forward and takes your order of three cans of milk and a loaf of bread. While waiting for him to wrap the bread ia very long laborious process involving much twine and paperj you notice a large cat asleep in its bed in a sack of dried p1'Ul'lQS. She opens one eye and suddenly springs after a mouse who has been nibbling at some cheese on the counter. Failing to catch her prey she again resumes her nap in the prune sack. A sleepy whine comes to you from the vicinity of the vegetable boxes and you turn just in time to see a small pup crawl gout of his bed among the withered carrots. Just then the clerk again shuffles forward to tell you that he is out of milk but that it should be here any time now. He offers you the bread which you skeptically take, wondering, as you tuck it under your arm, what animal inhabits the bread box. With his polite Come in again ringing in your ears you make a dash for the door, and are glad to be out in the open air again. -Pauline Martinus FL n' 1 fi'L'J 5-' r 'z i :1v:v!? ..l'1. ,ff'f,, ,fi i fg,f,jl.7 -L- l1E:h,jfg1!IP 'ijl ,ql X , -,q H . ,AM V ,g 3 nlufp :1 q:--X 'IH f rf -.

Those in the class were Blanche Culver, George Beck, Gene Newman, Edward Lesnini, Carl Reich, Howard Hansen, and Waunita Howard. Each was given a try-out before the student body, and Leonor Hickey and Waunita Howard were elected. Two boys, George Ramos, and Roy Smith, who were already yell leaders of their classes were chosen also. The two girls have always been ready to lead the rooting sections, and could get good support for the home team. Much credit is due them as an appreciation of their work.

Two veterans remained from last year, Marion Mansfield, running guard, and Brownlee, center. The season did not prove very successful although the boys were able to offer good competition. Several practice games were won in the early part of the year, but the locals were able to take only one league game, the Gonzales. This year's team was composed of Marion Mansfield, cap- tain and running guard, Tony Garcia, standing guard, Ed- gar Brownlee, centerg Jack Hamilton and Albert Rist, for- wards. Substitutes were John Meyers, Peter Weaver and . Herbert Earl. Following is the schedule and scores of the heavies: K. C. 255 Gonzales 12, at Gonzales. K. C. 155 Pacific Grove 16, at King City. K.

The Juniors were victorious. This made three years in succession that this class had won the silver cup given as a trophy by George Anderson. The cup now is the per- manent property of the class. After basketball, interclass volleyball and baseball were played. On March 8, 1929, a Play Day was held here with Gonzales. Most of the girls from Gonzales attended together with all the King City girls, and all reported a successful meet. On May 18, another Play Day was held at Santa Cruz. At the play days many sports, such as baseball, soccer, tennis, croquet, basketball, and vol- ley ball were played. Many awards were made this year for girls who have done outside work such as playing horseshoes, bicycling, and hiking. Those receiving numerals for three hun- dred points were: Irma Copley, Alice Digges, Ruth Evans, Hazel Harrison, Leonor Hickey, Elda Nicola, Dorothy Rist, Mayme Smith, Paulina Pisoni. Much of the success of this year's gym classes has been due to the able direction of Miss Carol Bunte, a graduate of King City High, who has returned to teach here.

'- E STUDENT GUVERNMENT Each school year our student body is confronted with many p1'oblems. The executive committee, which is a group of twelve boys and girls elected from the student body at large has again, as in past years, proved the soundness of student government through its efficient handling of these school problems. Since the number in our student body is small, our activities have of necessity been somewhat limited. However, it can readily be said that the respective under- takings of the year have been successful from every point of view. The Executive Committee consists of the President of the students, Alma Jean Knowlesg Vice-President, Bernadeen Dickey, Secretary Treasurer, Alice Diggesg Boys' Athletic Manager, Elmer Giacomazzig Girls' Athletic Manager, Bernadeen Dickey, South Bus Representative, Laurent Layousg North Bus Representative, Dayle Gouldg Town Representative, Dorothy Eadeg Senior Class President, Vergil Reed, Junior Class President, Frank Morton, Sophomore Class President, Laurent Layousg Freshman Class President, James Kelley. -1' A .

We owe much of its success to Mr. R. E. Warner, our adviser. The aim of our society is to induce more students to attain a higher standard of work. Being an honor student entitles one to an Honor pass, a laureate pin, and a gold seal on the diploma. The Honor Society enjoyed several social affairs including an excursion to Pacific Grove, and a candy pull. Our trip to Pacific Grove was the most educational trip we have had this year. After lunching on the beach we were shown through a Biological Laboratory where students of the University of California were studying maritime animals and plants. We found the tin can factory at Monterey very interesting. Just before our ntamale-feed we swam in the plunge at Del Monte. We ended our pleasant trip at the King City-Monterey basketball game at Monterey.

It is our scrap book for the class of '29. However, this not merely a senior book, but it is given over to the activities of each department as well. .1 1-,iff m , -. ,. .s +L f . r . At the beginning' of the second semester the annual staff was elected, with Marion Mansfield, editor. This is a responsible position, one which requires a great deal of thought and labor. Plans were soon made and material for the annual was spoken for in order that the members of the staff could have sufficient time to pre- pare it. In April, a carnival was given to raise funds to insure the financial success of the book. From this a considerable profit was realized. No little amount of effort and time has been spent on the work, and the cooper- ation of every member of the student body has been necessary. The staff has worked hard to make an interesting book of the La Copa De Oro, and much credit is due both Miss Helen Fox, Staff Adviser, and Miss Naomi Millis, Art Adviser, for their untiring efforts. To them and to the staff members as well as to any others who have helped to make this year book a success, we wish to express our appreciation. ..... 0 tg .,..., . .

This year, the staff has been elected at the beginning of each semester instead of only once during the year as in the past. This change was thought advisable because it would afford more pupils the opportunity of working on the paper. This work gives students responsibilities that tend to make them better citizens. The editor of the paper for both semesters was Leonor Hickey, a Junior. The news was written exclusively by members of the staff, read and corrected by the faculty adviser, Miss Helen Fox, typed by the commercial class, linotyped at The Rustler print shop, proof read at the high school, and then six hundred copies are printed in our own print shop. Interest has been gained through the use of varoius types of editorials and fea- ture stories. Some of these have been reprinted and favorably commented upon by papers of our exchange list. 0 .'..'.. 9 3 9 i .ganna fT Q4QLEg'g? --Eisner: SENIOR lPlLAYH 5'T0lWlMIY Marie Thurber ......A.................

Alma Jean Knowles Tommy,,' the first of the high school plays, was given by the senior class, February second, in the Grammar School Auditorium, before about seven hundred people. Tommy, the central character, was a bashful youth who delighted in running errands for his future mother-in-law and in buying cigars and doing cross w-ord puzzles for his future father-in-law, while Marie, his fiancee, was left to amuse her- self. Uncle Dave detected the destruction of the romance and tried to get Tommy thrown out of the house, and to have Marie's parents tell her she could see him no more. Through Uncle Dave, Tommy was put out of the Thurber home. Bernard a go- getting salesman, stepped in and was about to marry Marie when Tommy cleared himself. Marie then found happiness with Tommy. The story was well interpreted, and many a time the audience was gripped by the moving action of the plot. Uncle David, played by Frank Morton, was probably the most interesting character, along with that of Mr. Thurber, interpreted by Marion Mansfield, although Mrs. Thurber and Tommy Mills ran close. Marie Thurber, acted by Alice Digges, never failed to win love and sympathy from the audience, flor her smiles and tears were always near the surface. And then Mrs. Williams deserves a great deal of praise. She did everything from hearing lines to making furniture. The Senior Class and school greatly appreciate her efforts. .-.J . - it V-fe , 1 ,Ji qi, J , Qgmiatf-1:-M. it f lElf5'E?'f l JUNIOR IPILAYL-s TlHIlE FAMHLY lUlDS'lI'AlilIRS ' Mr, Heller ,.,,,,.,...,AA,.............

Vera Jessen The Family Upstairs, a comedy in three acts, by Harry Delf, was presented as the Junior Play. The plot centered about the daughter, Louise, who could not find a husband. This was a typical American family, and the mother proposed to find the prospective hubands. The failure of Louise's search for a husband was the reason given for all the family troubles. Owing to the work of Dame Gossip, Charles Grant, Louise's affianced husband broke their engagement. By the timely intervention of Mrs. Grant, and with many amusing complications occurring in the play, all was settled happily. Phyllis Starbird's interpretation of the character of Louise, the young, sensible business girl of today, was excellent and all sympathized with her. Frank Morton's presentation of Mr. Heller, the father, was one of the most striking characterizations ever given by him. The other roles were handled well, and one won't soon forget Jennie, the ambitious mother, Jack, the reserved lover: Fred, the boy who was picked ong and baby sister Leonor. Once more King City High has illustrated her dramatic ability and a great part of this success was due to the coaching of Mrs. Williams. . i .sigma gmh :5:QQ9i,ZFigg5'?EQmL,:.,.'f:,s :T--11. DRAMATHCS Dramutics is an elective course in our high school. It is good training for those interested in public speaking or in amateur dramatic performances. Its aim is not to teach the pupil to become a professional actor, but tg. help him overcome his self- consciousness, and to teach him to speak clearly and distinctly. At the beginning of the term the students of the Dramatics class studied panto- mine, monologues, and the art of make-up. Later they worked on one-act plays, some of which were given before the student body and the P. A, L. The following plays were presented before the student body.

The purpose of the organization is to promote leadership and co-operation in girls' athletics, as well as social activities. Different officers are elected each semester, thus giving more girls the opportu- nity of holding office and directing the activities of the group. The president must be a seniorg other offices may be held by any class member. Conventions are held annually in one of the coast counties. Delegates from the various schools belonging to the league attend these conventions. Q , ,J .fgsggssz -liramazs A URCHIESTRA Much progress has been made by the King City Union High School Orchestra despite the fact that there has been a great deal of absence on account of illness during the school year. Under the very efficient and 'patient supervision of Mrs. Patterson, theorchestra has made a number of public appearances. Two concerts were given for the Rotary Club at the Hotel El Camino Real. A concert was given at the dedication of the Soledad Grammar School. Concerts were also given for the Senior, Junior, and Alumni plays at the Grammar School Auditorium. Two other performances were at the Legion Hall and for the Public Schools' Week program. The personnel of the orchestra is as follows: First Violins-Vivian Hughes, Margaret Bachar, Isabelle Lesnini, Vesta New- man, Lorine Annear and Harry Brownlee.

Aside from regular practice throughout the year, some of the class time has been given over to the study of the history of music, ear-training, and music appreciation. Those interested in music were given opportunity of hearing the weekly Stand- ard Oil School Broadcast from K. G. O., Oakland. This taught the appreciation of good music. The Glee Club has given selections at school for both Christmas and Thanksgiving programs, and other school activities. The personnel of the club is as follows: First sopranos-Evelyn Annear, Alexa Bachar, Tessie Ontiveroz, Dorothea Smith, Wilma Curran, Frances Doyle, and Vivian Dutton.

In Sewing I, there was a gradual progress from less to more dif- ficult patterns and materials to handle as the ability of the student warranted. Sewing II consisted of a short unit in Millinery. During this course the girls learned to make patterns for hats, frames, and to cover these frames with material. Felt hats which proved most popular were made. The remainder of the term was spent in darning and patching, textile study, stain removal, remodeling garments, construction of undergarments, dresses and ensembles, planning a wardrobe and assisting in the making of costumes whenever needed. This department, aided by the Art Department, presented a program on color and beautifying the interior of the home. , The Cooking class outgrew the equipment this year making the purchase of ad- ditional tables a possibility for the future. Foods were studied in groups according to food nutrients after which menu planning led to the serving of meals. The High School Board, Faculty, Rotary Club, and Mothers of the Cooking class girls have been entertained at the high school. Foods were also prepared occasionally for the cafeteria. A record was kept during the year of efficiency in keeping the kitchen and equipment in good order, personal neatness and ability in planning work and in the preparation of food. The high point winners in this contest as well as the girls in Domestic Art were entertained by the other members of the cooking class. . iv . H., ing.:-5,.5 45- - A,M,,,.,,,, --, . AUTO MIIECHANHCCS- The Auto Mechanics Department has now completed its second year in the King' City High School. ' At the beginning of the year a large number of students were interested in the course, and during the first of the term the enrollment reached thirty one. This course consists of acetylene welding, lathe and milling machine work, black- smithing and all branches of automobile reparing. Every student is given a little experience in every line of the work. I-Ie is then better able to decide whether or not he wants to specialize in one particular phase of this work. The boys this year have rebuilt two cars for service cars for the school, and a great many other jobs have been completed. Due to the success of the Auto Mechanics work this year, which has been so well constructed by Mr. Walker, the boys are looking for a larger and better class for the coming year. .5 ... - J' ,.. .. v 1 V r , e ,. ..a. . ,, f 5 A V nw .Wi'1ir.3'g9i:gfg1?Fl:ff gfcsigfg ,nw c11Je1'f41l- A-it-f -, jig-2.'--1237 3-sq-5 gi .31 v.f's..f:g ' '1'-1 '3-'---- ' '--CZ,.,,,.v -' Q ' PRHNTHNG The printing department has completed its fourth year under the supervision of Principal H.

All the work for the King Hi Ways is done by these boys in the school print shop, except the linotyping which is done by The Rustlerf' Approximately fifteen issues of the King Hi Ways and the annual Senior edition of the Senior class have printed by these boys this year. All special printing desired by the student body is also done in this shopg this work is set by hand from our own cases. Ben Pierce was elected chief of the print shop for the first semester. A new plan was put into operation for the second semester. Each boy had to supervise and make up one issue of the paper. This work is excellent training, for it gives the boys practical experience and responsibility. . J, .

The work in the Farm Mechanics class, which is conducted under the Smith-Hughes plan, consists in giving the boys training in the various kinds of mechanical work which will enable them to make the necessary repairs on the farm. They get practice in carpentry, forging, plumbing and concrete and sheet metal work. Interesting projects have been started and brought to a successful finish. Early in the year, the boys built a concrete flower box and windbreak at the end of the senior lily pond. After that was finished they made a number of stepping stones for Mr. C. M. Armstrong. Then they constructed over two hundred square feet of cement side walk for Mr. Williams. A concrete incinerator was built on the school grounds and a side walk laid from the Ag room to the main walk. Almpst all the boys were occupied in these jobs which were school projects. At the Farm Mechanics contest held in Gonzales during February, a team composed of John Cardoza, Robert Blair and Henry Doddridge won four ribbons. They competed against students from seven other high schools. The course in Woodwork consists in making useful articles of furniture. Some of the articles that have been constructed this year are library tables, dressing tables with mirrors, writing tables, sewing tables, tea wagons, taborets, footstools and picture frames. The shop boys also made the steps used in the Senior play, Tommy, and built the booths for the carnival. So far it has been a very busy year in shop. The work has been of a very prac- tical kind and many useful articles have been made. The school is proud of this de- partment which is so well conducted by Mr. I. J.

Elmer Eade The Agriculture Department has now completed its third successful year in the King City Union High School. This year there are enrolled forty-eight in the course 'of this department as compared to the twenty-one of last year. This increase is due to the boys' greater interest in the work, because of the very capable direction of Mr. C. F. Fry as club leader and teacher. The Agriculture Club reorganized this year into a new organization called the Future Farmers of America. This is a national and state organization for students in vocational Agriculture. This year a third year course in agriculture was added: its enrollment is fourteen. The Agriculture department offers three courses. Agriculture I teaches the science of Agricultureg Agriculture II takes up the study of various types of live-stocky and Agriculture III treats of horticulture and crop production. In addition each student is required to take a home project of which he keeps an accurate account of all his work. The method of teaching this course consists of recitation, lecture, laboratory, field demonstrations, and home project work. ' 2.5 fl' I 13 :11. W .L MGE sms. IOCKWOOD 41-1I'lI CLUB WURK , A great deal of enthusiasm has been aroused by 4-H club work at the Lockwood High. In our particular club we have established three groups: sewing, agricultural, and nutrition. At our bi-monthly meetings each group puts on a short demonst1'ation pertain- ing to its own project. Pauline Martinus, our president, not only acts as an able executive but as a very enthusiastic leader, who is responsible for much of the pep at the meetings. There is actual co-operation between the 4-H club and the Farm Bureau. On April twenty-sixth our club took full charge of the Farm Bureau meeting. The nutri- tion girls co-operated with the Home Demonstration women by helping them serve supper at the dance given April sixth at Lockwood. -Edna Sands ORCHESTRA Under the able direction of Mrs. Helen Patterson a school orchest1'a has been organized. Every Wednesday is music day at Lockwood and violins, saxaphones, trombones, and clarinets are always very much in evidence. There are about eighteen members in the orchestra and even though we are all first year music students we have enjoyed orchestra very much, and are hoping to do something big' for the commencement program.

Q K'-' rfiifzif Hr' 'L' KHNG CHTYHHIITS PRD GRIESS King City was founded in 1884 by Mr. C. H. King, the uncle of Mrs. W. C. Hamil- ton of this city. A few tents erected along the street which is now Broadway served as houses, while a larger tent, owned by Mr. Rice and Mr. Wrinkler served as the first store. It stood where the Young Mar Co. store now is. Due to the fact that King City was the only town between San Ardo and Soledad, it drew pioneers from all the neighboring country. During this time most of the present city, which was then stubble fields over which cattle and hogs roamed, was ,owned by Mr. C. H. King. The first wooden store was built in 1885 by Vanderhurst. It was later occupied by Ford and Sanborn, and after that by the H-A-F Co. This store was also used as the bank. Here all the banking transactions were carried on until the Monterey County Bank was built in 1903. Frank Mbrquetti owned the first vegetable store where the Rex rooms are now located. The largest building in town was the livery stable built in 1886. This served as the meeting place of settlers of the nearby country. The railroad was built to King City in July, 1886. King City was the southern terminus of the railroad until 1887. The first church to establish here was the Catholic, and services were held in the building which now houses the Cornell Tractor Co. The first priest in this city was Father Firrer. The first grammar school was built in 1887 or 1888. It was the two room school building that is now occupied by the city library. It was moved to its present site in 1908. King City's first real hotel was the Railroad Exchange, built by F. W. Shrodes, now of Salinas, who was the cook at Paraiso Springs before he came to King City. Shrodes completed the building as it stood before it was moved to its present site in 1928. The present Hotel Reich contains the original structure. Another building which has seen King City grow f1'om a small settlement to the pres ent enterprising little city is the old I. O. O. F. hall across from the King City Hotel. This building housed the San Lorenzo Social club, every member of which has had his share in the development of this region. This club was composed of about forty young people of the vicinity. Water was supplied the town from a windmill and tank, which was back of the site of the present city jail. This equipment was torn down about ten years ago after the Coast Valley Gas and Electric Company took over the public utilities of the town. An Oldsomobile single cylinder automobile was the first car in the locality. L. B. Ulrey, now of Stockton, was the owner. The second car, which was purchased in 1906, is now in the possession of W. P. Mansfield. A blacksmith shop where the King City Garage now stands was purchased by E. E. Mansfield. This served as the town's first garage. c:amE tg 5 lElGErO Bringing in his printing plant after publishing a paper in San Lucas, Walter Beebe printed King City's first paper, the King City Settler, in a house on the corner of Second and Lynn streets. In 1896 Beebc s'old out to A. S. Weller and moved to San Francisco. F. G. Vivian of Niles set up his printing establishment in the town in May, 1901. The first building used was a frame shack located where the Auto Barber Shop is now. Ford and Sanborn, merchants, owned the building. In 1902 The Settler ceased to function. In 1907 The Rustler moved to its present location. W. C. Hamilton was perhaps one of King City's earliest pioneers. He rented and farmed five hundred acres of land owned by C. H. King in the neighborhood of the Miller home of Ellis street. J. B. Campbell came into this regi'on when he was only twelve years old, and began his career by teaming with eight horses. Tom Himmah was the first barber in King City, and his shop was located where the Auto Barber Shop now stands. The soda works Hof P. E. Weaver was established by him in 1892, 'six years after he located in the community. Dr. H. O. Livingston was King City's first physician. He was a brother of Livingston, the African explorer. The King City Union High School was founded in 1911, and held classes in what is now the King City Hospital. At first there were only twenty-seven students and three teachers. In 1914 the school was moved to its present site where the vocational departments, shop and commercial, were added. The enrollment fof the school steadily increased until the war. At this time students were earning from eight to fifteen dollars a day, so many left school. After the war the enrollment in- creased steadily until it now is two hundred and thirty. The building which now houses the English, Agriculture, and Printing depart- ments, was built as a new shop in 1918. In 1926 Printing, Agriculture, Dramatics, and Orchestra were established in the school as departments. In 1927 the new shop was built and the Auto Mechanics department was established. In 1928, two addi- tional teachers were employed. An article from the Salinas Index for July, 1906, states that King City then had a population ,of five hundred, hardly the number of school children that the city schools accommodate today. The article continues that King City is on the up- grade. This may be seen from the fact that many new business firms have been established. The prophecy of the Index is being fulfilled. King City is steadily growing, not a rapid, fragile, mushroom growth, but a permament growth, based upon the foundation of rapidly increasing agricultural activity, which in the end, is the basic activity of man. -Marion Mansfield, '29 1' A-.N - L ri. wma. --:-ji .G r'-1-'11 rs Q.-ll. ..- ,-s---3-wa--- f--1 fm Fw., i 'N--'-he -i.-.-l -1 1 if 55. 1-q?.,,,5g:h-.1:.-.-fr,-., ' 511.1 vid .--2. BOYS' A'lI'lIiIlLlE'lI'liCCS The boys of the High School have not been very prominent in athletics during the past year due to the lack of a sufficient number to make a team. As they are too large to compete with the boys of the surrounding grammar schools, and as we are too small an organization to compete with other high schools, we have been unable to participate in inter-school events. Two members of the baseball team have been chosen to represent us on the South- ern Monterey County Team at Asilomar. We are making the best of that which we have and are trying to develop a sportsmanlike attitude that will carry us farther perhaps, than will athletic prowess. -Billie Earl SOCCJIAI. EVENTS We have not been very active in social events this year due to the long vacation during the fall. Our first event was the Freshman Initiation. This was held at the school. Prob- ably the thing that remained longest in the minds of those initiated was the eating of over-salted but undercooked mush. The freshmen donned bibs and blind folds, and each was given a large spoon and a bowl of mush, along with the orders to feed each other. After other games which were enjoyed more by the freshmen than by others, refreshments were served and the party broke up. The next social event was a dance. A record crowd attended and the proceeds were used for the completion of the tennis court. A Hallowe'en party was given on October twenty-sixth at the school. Although the party was held in the afternoon, black curtains which had been purchased for use in showing moving pictures, helped give the spooky atmosphere needed. Appro- priate games were played and refreshments in keeping with the party were served. -Pauline Martinus 'l1'll'lllE NEW TIENNIIS COURT During a meeting of the student body last year it was suggested that with the money on hand in the treasury we start the construction of a tennis court. It seemed quite an undertaking but after a successful dance we decided to go through with it. The ground was cleared and marked off, the materials secured, and work was started in the fall of 1927. Many of the boys worked after school, on Saturdays, and in their spare time. After much hard work on the part of the boys and Mr. Patterson, the framework of the court was erected. The wire was then stretched and the court was ready to try out. It seemed all right at first but as the ground was played on, many small rocks began to appear. Under this condition the balls would not bounce well and it was difficult to play. When school opened the following year, plans were made to put in some kind of a floor. Many suggestions were considered but it was decided that a concrete floor would be the only thing worth trying as it would always last, and although it might be expensive it would be the best in the long run. We then gave another dance and started putting down the cement. After the forms were put down and leveled, the cement was laid strip by strip, until it was finally cfompleted and now everyone enjoys playing on it. -Billie Earl , .,.1 5l,,i T7'F4 i-2'-N ' .-gi?-4 . l - - c 11:2-:rm.,f:,s:f,. COMMERCTAE DEPARTMENT The Commercial Department has a larger enrollment this year than ever before. There are now seventy-three students taking commercial work. This increase shows the steady growth of this department. Typing, bookkeeping, and shorthand are taught. Bookkeeping, which is used every day in business and in the home, is very essential to the commercial world. Many of the commercial students who have graduated from King City Hi are now holding good positions both in King City and out of town. The students do a great deal of work for the different school departments. All the articles for the paper and annual are typed by them. This gives them practical experience. The school has added a new mimeograph and a few new typewriters, making a total of fifteen typewriters. There are also an adding machine and a multigraph to complete the equipment. King City has been well represented in the Shorthand and Typing contests held annually. A number of students who participated have won medals and pins in the contests. Two years ago Marie Chiocca won the cup for speed and accuracy in short- hand, and the cup was won again last year by Emmy Lou Rood, who made only five errors. Iona Lang took third place with eight errors. If the cup is won again this year, it will be given to the school. Through the competent supervision of Miss Knapp, who is the instructor, the Commercial Department has added another successful year. MATHEMATTCS DEPARTMENT The Mathematics Department has enjoyed a most substantial growth this yea1'. The enrollment in algebra and commercial arithmetic at,the opening of the term was so great that this year both Mr. Weller and Mr. Olsen handled the various courses in the department. The department now offers work in commercial arith- metic, first year algebra, geometry, advanced algebra, and trigonometry. This meets the needs of both those who are planning on college and those who are not. A large class in trigonometry was the main feature of the year, and the great- est interest was manifest in the work. In addition to the-usual theoretical work considerable field work was done. Mr. Goodspeed again loaned the school his transit, and with this, the class was taught the principles underlying its care and use. A number of problems were assigned the class in heights and distances on the school grounds and at near by points, and these were all very creditably solved. The mem- bers of the class taking part in the field work were: Frank Morton, James Lynn, Clarence Schmidt, Harold Record, Peter Weaver, Leonor Hickey, Vesta Newman, Edna Biggs. One new feature this year was that of having outstanding students in the depart- ment give talks on different aspects of mathematics of interest to all. All the mem- bers of the Trigonometry class put on a program to demonstrate how a field problem is solved. Harold Record gave a talk on the Conic Sections and illustrated it by drawings he had made. Vesta Newman gave a talk on Logaritlims, what they are and why we use them. ii .Th '?:71L....93zgT' . Q-El' 4e'7'f.

In General Science they are becoming acquainted with their environment and preparing to take Biology, Physics and Chemistry. Biology, the sophomore science subject given under the supervision of Mr. War- ner has continued to take care of the flower garden. A fernery, rose arbor, and seats promise great improvement over last year. A new lath house for raising shrub cuttings, a tool house, and two hundred and sixty square feet of cold frames have been built. In these thousands of plants have been grown and given to the people of the community for their homes. The class has taken care of the American Legion grounds, and the money earned is given to the annual fund. Physics, the snap course famous for its ex's, prepares juniors and seniors for college, and gives them experience with electrical machinery used in everyday life. A new apparatus table and a delineascope have been added to the department. This year has been very successful. Forty-five percent of the King City High students are studying science in a well equipped laboratory. ALUMNI ASSOCIATION As the end of the second year of the organization of the Alumni Association of King City Union High School approaches, we are happy to record that the same def- inite progress marks this year as that recorded for the first year. As the years go on, and our membership increases with each graduating class, the Alumni Associ- ation should develop and expand into an organization that we shall all be proud of. Let us strive each year to so promote and conduct the association that each gradu- ating class shall feel privileged and honored to come into it one hundred percent. In numbers there is strength and our powers to serve our Alma Mater well and truly shall be governed to a great extent by this factor. Carrying on the traditions of the first year, our annual Hallowe'en Dance was held on October 27, 1928 at the High School Gymnasium. Lynn's Lightning Lads from Hollister furnished the music, and the dance both socially and financially was a great success. The condition of our finances at the end of the last school year, were such that we were enabled to increase our scholarship award to S100.00. This scholarship was awarded to Miss Emmy Lou Rood who is now attending the State Teachers College at San Jose, California. On December 28, 1929, the Annual Home Coming was celebrated by a Dinner Dance held in the Spanish Room of Hotel el Camino Real. Reservations were made for sixty-four persons and very nearly that number attended. The music was pro- vided by The Ramblers, and the program was interspersed by dance numbers put on by two of Miss Gwendolyn Turner's pupils form Salinas. The evening was thoroughly .ll ' . .,.., , 4. .,,,4,-,fizrr-1e:'1::1e'91ii4ef l 5 -Eh P-1 -1 Tyr? 53'--1-1.3:-51! a -A 5 'N-jf' - .-Ls' 1 .'..!V, fs'zi::.1-:f.'-TQ? i 151 ig -yyfgifigg 114- enjoyed by all present, and it is to be hoped that in the future even a greater number of the members can participate in this event. The Home Coming, as its nature implies, is a yearly gathering of the association, given to welcome home those members whose places of abode have changed. It is a time to renew old friendships and make new ones, and is an event, which, more than any other, can bind our association firmly together. As this book goes to press the cast for the annual Alumni Association play has been selected and rehearsals are being held under the able direction of Mrs. H. O. Williams. The play selected this year is The Whole Town's Talking. Those in the cast are: Earl Garner, Phyllis Henry, Velma Nance, William Barbree, Ada Chambers, Marcia Mansfield, Homer Bronson, Harold Henry, Irene Eade, Nellie Carlson, Juliette Lacrabere, and Rollo Mansfield. The play will be given some time during the latter part of May or the first part of June. As the play has been carefully selected, as the cast is exceptionally talented and as Mrs. Williams is the coach, we can look forward to an evening of rare enjoyment, when it is finally produced. The -Alumni Association owes Mrs. Williams a vote of thanks for her generous aid in the production of this play. This resume of our activities is submitted before the alumni year is closed, and cannot, therefore, contain any mention of closing events. In conclusion the Presi- dent wishes to express her appreciation for the hearty cooperation of the Board of Directors, officers and members of the Association who have given so willingly of their time and help. -Dorothy C. Wasson, President K. C. U. H. S. A. A., 1928-29 'lI'lEN IVIIHNIUTIE MORNING ASSIEMUBILIUES During the second semester a new system of assembly was introduced. The class check system, in which each class met separately with its adviser, gave way to the assembly system, in which all the classes met together. The purposes of this new system were: to promote student body unity, to give the students the opportun- ity of appearing before an audience, and to acquaint the students with the work in the different departments of the school by the talks and demonstrations of the faculty and pupils. Everybody has felt the benefit of these assemblies. The faculty has been en- tertained by the unexpected talent found in our student body. The students have been enlightened and inspired by the talks and demonstrations given by each mem- ber of the faculty. One of the most important benefits we have noticed ,is that these morning as- semblies have started the morning with a bang. There usually has been lively music and cheerful tales. These have added joy and have made everyone feel more ready to go to work. We all have looked forward eagerly to each morning assembly. Special pro- grams were given on each day of national renown, as Lincoln's birthday, Inaugural Day, and Arbor Day. On every other morning there has been a brief program of some kind. -Phyllis Starbird, '30 , 1 M., - ' -we-5 - - 'L--+',5:v ' 'iii ' - 3 '15l'f . 5S1 W5- 4-H 'K-:nausea -41 ' - ' -1- vias if-' ' '- ' 'WSSQXJ-A+ SIDANIISIHI DEPARTMENT During the past two years the Spanish Department has experienced a phenomonal growth. At the present time there are two large beginners classes, and two large second year classes, and from indications, there will be substantial third year class the ensuing year. The reason for this is not hard to find. We are located in a section of the state that has Spanish life and tradition verily rooted in the soil. We are within twenty miles of the old Mission San Antonio, which one hundred and fifty years ago was si center of Spanish culture and influence. And then too, with Mexico, Central and South America to the south of us, numbering around 70,000,000 peoples, our young people are beginning to realize the commercial importance of these lands, and also that to take advantage of it they must know those peoples language. Briefly then, more and more of our students are studying Spanish each year, for one or a mixture of commercial, cultural, or politico-social reasons. The following are attempts of some of the Spanish students to tell in their own words in Spanish the stories of some romatic episodes in California history. ELCUENTO DE CONCEPCION ARQUELLO Y EL CONDE REZANOFF En lo alto de una colina que dominaba al Golden Gate cle la Bahia de San Fran- cisco estaba situada una morada de piedra blanca. En su hernioso jardin terraplenado crecian los arboles y florecian las flores de tierras meridionales. Habia varios surti- dores que echaban sus aguas prismaticas al sol de dia y a la luna de noche. Cantaban los pajaros en los rodedendros y las rosas. En el centro de un patio pequeno se elevaba una fuente de hermosura espanola. Entrelazaban rosas en los arcos cercanos. En un rincon sombrado se hallaba un asiento de marmol tallado por algun maestro desconocido de La Castilla Vieja. Que sito tan perfecto para los amadores. Pero no faltaban pretendientes y amadores en esta hacienda, porque era casa de la hermosa Concepcion Arguello, hija. del Gobernador de California, el celebrado Senor Arguello. Concepcion era famosa por su belleza por toda California. Tenia labios como las rosas que crecian en sus jardines. El cabello era negro y suave, lo cual hacia un contraste con la blancura delicada de la tez. Tenia ojos oscuros que brillaban y reflejaban en los fondos el amor y la inocencia. Era muy encantadara la vozg sus tonos, suaves y dulces tocaban a los corazones de muchos jovenes, haciendoles venir a su lado a todos. Era verdaderamente una hija de la antigua hidalguia de Espana. Una tarde del otono como el sol estaba poniendose en un resplandor de nubes de colores brillantes de rojo y oro, vio Concepcion un buque de Vela de una nacion extran- jera que navegaba en la Bahia de San Francisco. Una bandera de diseno extranjero que no reconocio ondulaba en el viento del palo del buque. -Padre- dijo Concepcion, hablando con el viejo a su lado con el cabello y el bigote blanco, -mira, llega un extranjero. -Si, hija mia, -respondio el Gobernador, -vamos a la playa y daremos la bienvenida a los que vengan a nuestra tierra. Cuando llegaron el hidalgo y su hija linda a la playa, ya habia desembarcado un joven hermoso. Parecio a Concepcion desques de una mirada que era hidalgo. Estaba decorado su uniforme de muchas medallas de oro. Se portaba como principe Al ver al Gobernador y su bonita hija, el se les cuadro e hicieron tic tac las espuelas. Les in- - ,, ?.Q,. :.-.L 5115 .---- formo que era el Conde Nicolai Petrovitch Rezanoff, Chambelan del Czar de todos los Rusos, y que habla venido a pedir al gobernador que les ayudara a los Rusos en Alaska. Rehuso el Gobernador conceder al Conde su peticion, pero con las suplicas de Concepcion que se habia enamorado del Conde, al fin consintio. Cada dia el amor entre el distinguido Conde y la hermosa Concepcion crecia y aumentaba. Fue el banco en el pequeno patio la escena de muchas felices citas. Todo esto observaba la gente del pueblecito y presidio con interes y atencion. Esta demasiado feliz Concepcion dijo todo el mundo, no puedo durar. Queria casarse el Conde Rezanoff con Concepcion, pero tenia que obtener el per- miso del Czar de Rusia. Para consequir esto, fue necessario nevegar a Rusia. El dia antes de la fecha de partir del buque, Concepcion y el Conde se prometio el uno al otro ser fieles para siempre. Debajo de la luz de millares de estrellas titilantes en el pequeno patio corto Concepcion una guedejilla del cabello del Conde y lo puso en un medallon que llevaba ella alrededor del cuello. Lo cerro ella con un beso y con lagrimas en los ojos lo dio al Conde. El en cambio le dio a ella un anillo de oro. En el anillo habia una esmeralda tallado en forma de corazon, un signo de su amor. El dia siguiente a la puesta del sol, salio el buque del Golden Gate entre el saludo de los canones del presidio. Como se puso en marcha el buque se Despidio el Conde de Concepcion con un ademan de la mano en contestacion a los besos de ella. Sabia el que seria ella fiel y que le esperaria hasta su regreso. Ella tambien sabia que el le amaba a ella con todo el corazon. Pasaban los dias, pero nunca revolvio el Conde. Velaba Concepcion desde la colina encima del presidio por aquel buque extranjero que llevara el conde. Pero en balde velaba Concepcion. Pero nunca perdia la confianza en su amante. Cada dia fue ella a la pequena iglesia de Nuestra Senora de Gracia, y rezaba a Dios que le revol- viera a ella el Conde Nicolai. Un dia al anochecer, vio ella cierto buque entrar en el puerto. Latio su corazon con mucha fuerza. Creyo que era Rezanoff de seguro. Pero no era Rezanoff que desembarco del buque, pero un oficial que tenia una esquela para Concepcion. Le entero que el Conde estaba muerto y que sus ultimas palabras fueron de ella. Metiendose la mano en el bolsillo, saco el caballero el medallon que Concepcion le habia dado al Conde. -El me encargo entregarle a Vd esto- le dijo el joven gravamente, -con las palabras-Te amo y a dondequiera que este, siempre te amare-. Y habiendo cumplido su encargo se le inclino y se despidio. Se alejo el buque. Con un corazon roto y los ojos llenos de lagrimas subio a la colina al patio Concepcion. Se puso ella el querido medallon al pecho, y arrodillandose delante del banco de los novios como si fuera altar, ofrecio alli una plegaria a Nuestra Senor de Gracias. Poco despues entro Concepcion en un convento para pasar la demas de la vida sirviendo a Dios. Ayudaba y rezaba por otra gente. Pero siempre rezaba que viniera el dichoso dia cuando se reunieran los dos novios en el cielo. 'll 'fer . f'1QmE.e'3E..11--- -Ti sz '57 ffE,g.lEt:Lg?? . Vu4,,iv,,,...Y- ----'H EL CAMINO REAL Y LAS MISIONES En el ano de 1769 los Espanoles enviaron el Padre Junipero Serra, un misionero Franciscano a California para convertir a los Indios y para establecer el estado futuro para Espana. Comenzo el su trabajo de edificar una mision cerca de la playa alrededor de la bahia de San Diego sin perdida de tiempo despues de llegar. Fue esta la primera mision y se llamaba la mision de San Diego de Alcala. La Mision fue construida el 16 de Junio de 1769. Fue construida como todas las ostras de adobe, tejas, cuero, y madera. Estaban pintados los interiores y retratos de los santos colgaban de las paredes. El adobe usado en la construccion de las paredes estaba hecha de tierra arcillosa y paja. Cada mision tenia una torre en donde habia una campana para llarnar a los indios a la misa todas las mananas y todas las noches. Estos edificios estaban construidos tan solidos que hoy dia algunos existen y se usan los domingos. Sin embargo la mayor parte de ellos ya no se usan porque estan en ruinas. Otros se han restaurado a casi la misma condicion en que estuvieron cuando fueron edificados. Tenian los indios mucho ganado y muchas ovejas. Los Padres les ensenaron regar las cosechas con zanjas. Aprendieron hacer las pinturas de zumo de uvas y otras clases de bayas. Tambien aprendieron hacer el jabon. Extendian las misiones desde San Diego hasta San Francisco, una distancia muy larga. Era mas de quinientos millas. Para visitar todas las misiones, Los padres andaban de pie sobre el camino. Sobre los mismos caminos van los automoviles, y aunque los padres solo podian viajar casi treinta millas al dia, pueden los automoviles viajar dos cientos o trescientos millas al dia. Hoy dia el camino se llama -El Camino Real y esta marcado con campanas. LA MISION DE SAN ANTONIO DE PADUA En medio de unas altas montanas hay un valle que se llamaba una vez La Hoya de la Sierra de Santa Lucia. Alli el Padre Junipero Serra, Padre Presidente de las misiones colgo la campana y llamo a los gentiles a rezar y aceptar la santa fe. Alli El Padre Serra habia encontrado un hermoso sitio en donde construir una mision. En esta nueva mision aguardaba a los indios una vida nueva. Que contentos y que gozos estaban los indios cuando realizaron que los padres iban a edificar una mision en su lindo valle. Habia en este bonito valle muchos terrenos cultivados. El Rio de San Antonio surtia el agua. Tan fructuoso era este valle que ha sido conocido por mucho tiempo por el nombre de Milpitas flittle vegetable gardenl. A la izquierda de la mision estan las elevadas montanas y a la derecha los viejos robles que proporcionaban una grata sombra a la gente que venia a la mosion en los calurosos dias. Cuanto les gustaba asistir a la misa. Cuanto les gustaba oir la voz del Padre retumbar en las paredes de adobe. Duran todavia una parte de los arcos de adobe. Sim embargo estan cayendose lentamente las antiguas paredes. Es ahora la mision un recuerdo del pasado. De una epoca en la historia romantica y pintoresca de California. Hoy dia va mucha gente alla al sitio de la antigua Mision a ver las ruinas y admirar el trabajo de los Padres. Se dice que pronto se reedificara la Mision y que habra un Padre residente. Q l ,.

The program for the evening consisted of several stunts, each class given an opportunity to distinguish itself by presenting a stunt. The Freshman stunts were entitled Dates and Professor Bruce Archibald de Alexander don Pedro Garibaldi Bronson, in which the Professor, a magician, worked wonders in our school. The Sophomores' part of the program was, An Illustrated Magazine. The Juniors impersonated characters ranging from Greek gods to the faculty. The Seniors pre- sented a Radio Program in which an old couple listened to the broadcast of the Freshman Reception. The program ended with a Football Song in honor of Coach Huebel and his football team by a group of Senior girls. Following the stunts, which were presented in the auditorium, everyone witnessed the Freshman Grand March in the gym. The Freshman Roll Call was then taken after which followed a number of initiating stunts. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. Thus, the Freshmen became full-fledged members of the student body. Every- one was much pleased with the school spirit the class of '32 had showed. ' 01111122 CARNHVAL A carnival which was something new and different in this school was held on April 5, 1929. It was a riot of fun from the start to the finish, and was a huge suc- cess, both socially and financially. The purpose of the carnival was to raise money to finance the annual. Promptly at 7:30 barkers were calling their wares, and there was a bustle of noise and confusion about the building which plainly designated that the carnival was beginning. One could almost imagine that he could hear the wild men from Borneo howling at the mob. There were many concessions in operation, and they provided a great deal of amusement for both old and young. Among the concessions was Fatima the Danc- ing Girl, which was a scream. She proved to everyone that her many years of ex- perience had given her the perfect control of every muscle of her body, which every good dancer must achieve. There was one concession which proved of very great interest to the ladies. It was For Women Only, and Cleopatra was marvelous in her art of working her wiles with the opposite sex. The Fortune'Telling booth was well patronized, and no doubt many people left booth with fortunes they had never scarcely hoped for. The Dramatics class presented Two Crooks and a Lady which was given in the auditorium at the opening of the carnival, and again later in the evening. The Hot Dog stand provided refreshments for all who wished them. A jitney dance held in one corner of the gym proved very popular. Music was furnished by Alice Digges, Leonor Hickey, and Exline Brown. The terpsichorean ar- tists tripped to the lively strains of the orchestra until 11:30, when Mr. Williams an- nounced the last dance. The crowd reluctantly departed for home. Judging from the returns which were realized from the carnival, neither teach- ers nor students who arduously worked to make the carnival a success, regret their efforts. We hope this may be an annual event of the school. n 1 il . .,.. ., , Q Q 23 yi f i.g,9'7iie,fig JUUNHOR DRUM The Junior Prom was given by the Junior Class on June 7, 1929, in honor of the Seniors. The high school gym was Very attractively decorated with moss-covered pergolas, trees and shrubs. This year the canopy of shrubs was higher than formerly, thus allowing spectators to sit in the first row of each balcony. A fountain in the center of the hall further emphasized the artistic garden scheme of decoration. Many beautiful pastel colored dresses were worn by the girls. Punch was served during the evening. The Juniors worked very hard to make the prom a success, and, judging from the crowd, it surely was. Much credit is due Miss Knapp, the Junior Class adviser, who formulated the plan and then worked untiringly. SCCIENE. IFRCOMI ANTEILOPE, VAILILEY Azure haze and desert sand Form a horizon across the land, Oceans waves do form that strand. Or so it seems. Fourteen miles so straight and white, Road or ribbon in the bright sunlight, Desert and hills it does unite. And there it gleams. Now, 'tis flanked by carpets green, Flower beds form a pattern scheme Beautiful and rich is this demesne. For now 'tis Spring. Later the desert grows dry and bare, Vlirages you'll see in shimmering air Sudden rises in temperature. These summer will bring.
