Principals Message YOUR BALANCE SHEET We have passed another milestone, which to you means the clos- ing' of your school account. The future demands of you a Balance Sheet. Education is not measured in concrete terms, but in the ab- stract, so your Balance Sheet will depend upon two thingsg first upon how you have availed yourself of the opportunities offered you while hereg second, upon your ability and willingness to work after entering life's calling. You can not depend any longer upon your school and teachers. You have reached that point where you must now rely upon yourself. Just what the Balance Sheet will be, only the future can tell. You are taking with you the confidence and best wishes -of the Board and Faculty. The world is not going to be a field of flowers from which you may pluck the roses you desire. You will often meet a thorn, but the man who will succeed is the fellow who can go smiling through. .With my best wishes, H. O. WILLIAMS, Principal. L FACULTY MR. H. O. WILLIAMS Principal MRS.

Q - M.-fxwg. , i, M..-.' 'at' EDITORIAL An annual is a View of school life, a book showing the work, pleasures, and the accomplish- ments of one year's activitiesg it is a book of mem- ories. La Copa de Oro is published as a record of school days and friends. The real worth of such a book can only be realized when each Senior is a grown man or woman. Because of the modcrnness and the widespread interest in them, the staff has chosen airplanes as the central idea for this 1930 yearbook. It has de- cided to place an idealistic interpretation on air- planes, hence the theme is called wings. The art de- partment has expressed its interpretation of wings by suitable drawings. As athletics is dominated by courage, so the division page for that section is appropriately titled Wings of Courage. Titles for the other division pages have similar applica- tion. Under the direction of Miss Helen Fox, adviser, the staff has worked untiringly in its efforts to produce a book Worthy of the school. The assistant editors, Leonor Hickey and Phyllis Starbird, have written and collected material for many of the ar- ticles. Burns Cadwalader and Myrle Rader, under the direction -of Miss Naomi Millis, art director,, deserve credit for the artistic development of the theme. The staff wishes to express its appreciation to the student body members for their support in making this book possible. Vera Jessen, Editor.

Knapp, Adviser The successful career of the class of 1930 has been brought to a close. The class has been outstanding for its interest and spirit in all worth while affairls during its four years in school, moreover, our representation in athletics, scholarship, music, and dramatics during that time has reached a very high percentage. Each year the class has sponsored its main project, which was the Monterey rally in the Freshgman year. The building of the fire and presenting of' a program were carried out exclusively and successfully by the Frosh. The second year, forty sophomores gave a very entertaining Freshman Reception, after which the Frosh felt that they were thoroughly initiated. The Junior Prom was, of course, the Junior year project. A wisteria garden with a fountain was used as the decoration plan Two hundred people were present making this one of the largest proms ever given. Graduation occupied the minds of all the students in the Senior year. Although as Freshmen, the class of '3L had fifty six members only thirty six Seniors received diplomas, three of which were awarded gold the honor society. They were Vesta Newman, During our last year, the boys were Francis McConnell and Howard Mansffield, years. Frank Morton, Clarence Schmidt, and pins and honor sealis for membership in Opal Foletta, and Leonor Hickey. prominent in athletics. Two of them, played on the football team for four Joe Nunez played two years, and Peter Weaver and Bob Vasquez, one. As Freshma'n, Jack Hamilton and Howard Mansfield were members of the C. C. A. L. championship lightweight team which won two cups. This year Jack Hamilton, Peter Weaver, Bob Vasquez, Howard Mansfield, and Frank Morton represented the class of '30 on the heavyweight basketball team. These five boys also won the interclass championship and cup. Our track representation has always been small. The last year Gerald DeAlvarez, Bob Vasquez, Jack Hamilton, Edward O'Connor and Howard Mansfield were the Senior tracksters. The girls were well represented in athletics. The senior basketball team won the George Anderson trophy for four years. The members of the team were: Pauline Martinus, Jennie Heinsen, Anita Weferling, Mayme Smith, Elda Nicola, and Leonor Hickey. The last three have been members of the team since their Freshman year. The girls were also victorious in the interclass basketball tournament. In the Junior year, The Family Upstairs, a three act comedy, was presented by the class under the direction of Mrs. M. E. Williams. The money made was used to finance the prom. Those taking part were: Phyllis Starbird, Jennie Heinsen, Vera Jessen, Leonor Hickey, Fred Harper, Jack Hamilton, and and Frank Morton. The Senior play, A Full House, was presented by our class, assisted by the drama class. Those taking part were: Jennie Heinsen, Mayme Smith, Hazely Wiley, Frank Morton, Peter Weaver, Jack Hamilton, and Elbert Hutchens. F Our representation in music has been large, ten of our Sophomore roll being members of the K. Q. W. trophy winning orchestra. They were: Vesta Newman, Peter Weaver, Ben Pierce, Vera Jessen, and Walter Gillettg in the orchestra, Ben Pierce, Vesta Newman, Vera Jessen, and Anita Weferlingg and in glee, Vesta New- man, Pauline Martinus, ,and Jennie Heinsen. Senior student body officers for the fall semester of 1929-1930 were: Frank Mor- ton, presidentg Jewel Lynn, vice-president, Vesta Newman, secretary-treasurer, Leonor Hickey, yell leader. For the spring semester the officers were: Howard Mansfield, president, Vesta Newman, vice-president, Jewel Lynn, secretary-treasurer. With thoughts of farewell in our minds the Seniors leave this building and our classmates with a sense both of gladness and regret. Our teachers, who have been our friends and who have placed their ideals before us, we leave with sorrow. Miss Bertha Knapp, class teacher, who has worked so untiringly and who has sacrificed so much of her time for us, we wish to thank with a most sincere feeling of gratitude With these words the class of '30 bids you all farewell. TO OUR SENIOR ADVISER For her advice and help during the past two years, the graduating class of 1930 wishes to express thanks and appreciation to Miss Bertha Knapp, senibr class adviser. She has worked untiringly in her effort to bring out the best that is in'us, and to make our activities successful. THE GIFT or 19,0 The gift of the class of thiry Consisting of five great floodlights Illuminates campus and buildings On darkest of all black nights. You see the tall arched entrance, The pond with lillies so bright, And the fountain with clear splashing water, All revealed in the bright glowing light. And those who do travel by moonlight, Exclaim o'er the wonderful sight Of the school in all its beauty, As it's bathed in the rich warm light. -Pauline Martinus '30 To beautify and illuminate our school to the greatest advantage, the class of '30 has presented the student body with five large floodlights. These lights bring out the charm of our buildings and attract the attention of passing motorists as well as towns- people to our school. ' The past six graduating classes have presented gifts that beautify our surround- ings. The gift of this year's class has been an unusually costly one and Weare justly proud of it. The lights bring out the beauty :of the grounds and buildings, the lily pond with its decorative lights, the fountain and the different beds of flowers are all seen quite plainly with the illumination brought forth from these flo-od lights. Class Prophecy Los Angeles, Calif., June 12, 1945. Dear Mrs. Patterson: As -it is exactly fifteen years since the Class of 1930 graduated from K. C. Hi, I thought it would interest you, who entered the high school as a faculty member the same -year the Class of '30 did, to know what the members of that class are doing. Although I have heard a great deal of the old crowd, it is six years 'since I have seen any of them except Opal and Vesta who live in Salinas. Vesta is manager of the new ten thousand dollar Espindola store there and is very much attached to her work. Opal is a leading society matron in that city and entertains lavishly at her home. Her hus- band is president of the Monterey County Bank of Salinas. Many of the bunch have gone on the stage rand into the movies. The other day when I was in San Francisco I went to the Fox Theatre to see Lover's Delight :and who do you suppose was in the cast? Jack, Phyllis, Jennie, and Mayme. Much to my surprise and joy, they all appeared in person in the prologue and are just the same as ever. Jack was a hero, of course, who was always in the depths of despair because of the fickleness of the flint, Phyllis. Mayme was the patient young girl who waited hopelessly for her fiancee, Lack, to return to her, and was very much discouraged at the attempts of her meddlesome mother, Jennie, to bring them together. It was very good, Mrs. Patterson, and if you get a chance, be sure and see it. After the show, we all went to offee Dan's, and Phyllis told me that Pauline Martinus and Gordon Plaskett are with Florenz Ziegfeld in New York. They are world famous for their comedy act due to the invention of George Anderson who perfected a machine which transfers the follies in sound and color scenes ,all over the world. It is something like the old fashioned radio. Leonor is the director of the Broadway orchestra which has taken fame from Paul Whiteman. Jennie said they -are simply wonderful. Remember Ethel Vlfilmot and Virginia Brownlee. They have been in Paris taking treatments from the famous reducing doctor, Francis McConnell. It is ia wonderful method invented by the doctor, with no physical exertion attached to it. Isn't it just like him? Ethel returned cd to King City last month, but Virginia says Pine Canyon is too slow for her after seeing Paris. Stubbie Mansfield and Bob Vasquez graduated eventually from Nevada Uni- versity and are working on a plan for a school which offers only athletics and study periods, and from all appearances, it looks as if it will be ia success. Harold Record, the famous runner, is financing the idea with the suggestion that they put couches in all the rooms, for sleepy students. Who would ever have dreamed that those three would someday be furthering education? Class Prophecy Frank Morton, Peter Weaver, and Joe Nunez, the three musketeers who have con- tr-ol of an ice cream cone monoply in Alaska, spoke- the other night over the new broadcasting station at Bitterwater, owned and operated by Gerald De Alvarez, of their boyhood training. Clarence Schmidt, who has overcome his habit of swallowing his pen while talking, is the chief announcer of Mr. De Alvarez's station. Both have made Bitterwater famous with an automobile factory which makes Spirits of Bitterwaterf' Many of the girls are teachers now. Elda Nicola and Angelina Biaggi are teaching at the Arroyo Seco Grammar School and are, as ever, inseparable. Jewel Lynn is teaching how to be late to class and get by with it in our old Alma Mater. It is the most popular subject given at K. C. Hi. Genevieve Garner has taken up domestic science. Howard Pelucca was recently elected mayor of Soledad, thereby fulfilling his longing for that position. He was almost defeated by Hazel Wiley, the Amazon leader, but he won by one vote due to the electioneering of Pauline Pisonii, who made so many stump speeches that the people voted fgor Hloward to keep her quiet. He has apf pointed Elbert Hutchens chief of police in that cityg Elbert also wished to settle down in Soledad, the quiet city. ll Edward O'Connor and Walter Gillett are famous financiers in London. They used to be self-conscious and quiet, but now they say that silence is golden, as they are both multi-millionaires. The London Tattler has been recently printing their names with those of Edna Sands and Anita Weferling, heads of an affiliated nurses school in Liverpool. I haven't heard just how it all turned out. Clara and Jessie, who returned from Mars last week in their Chevrolet airplane, are living in Parkfield to be near Paso Robles. Ben Pierce, chief printer off the Los Angeles Examiner, and I, the star reporter, are going tio interview them in a few days to get the details of the trip, which they are saving exclusively for us. Do you ever see any of the faculty members that were in K. C. Hi when we were there? Have you heard from Miss Knapp? I received a letter from her last week from Berne, Switzerland, where she is resting from her duties teaching typing at the German Commercial School in Berlin. On her return she is to be promoted to head, of the department. Isn't that fine? I hope I haven't bored you with this long letter, but the Class of 1930 certainly exemplified the phrase All is not gold that glitters. Sincerely, Vera J essen.

Since they have passed successfully through three years of school life, they may rightfully regard themselves as leaders and promoters of school spirit. To them, as upperclassmen, falls the responsibility of seeing that school traditions are upheld. --1 The class of '31 has been conspicuous throughout the year for its active participa- tion in school events. In music twelve Juniors helped to make the orchestra and band successful. Members of the Honor Society from our class were: Regina Vosti, Laurent Layous, Isabel Lesnini, Alma Nicola, Evelyn Folks, and Dorothy Rist. In athletic teams, football, basketball, and track, Thomas Wittmann, Eugene Wittmann, Ray Davis, Paul Reich, Dan Soberanes, Tony Garcia, and Cecil Tognazzini represented the Juniors. The girls of our class on the interclass basketball team which met defeat at the hands of the Seniors were: Alma Nicola, Dayle Gould, Irma Copley, Emma Ruth Wing, Juanita Hudson, Ione Oswald, and Regina Vosti. Probably the greatest achievement for us this year was the Junior play, Kempy, given April 11. This was excellently produced under the capable direction of Mrs. H. O. Williams. Those in the cast were: Peter Weaver, Jennie Heinsen, Ione Oswald, Frances Eckerich, Frank Morton, Roy Schmidt, Jack Hamilton, and Dorothy Smith. For the success of the undertakings of our Junior year we wish to thank Mrs. H. 0. Williams, our adviser.

They antici- pate graduationqand hope to enter a university, secure a good position, or, thinking of the near future, they aspire to offices in school. A step towards this goal is now accomplishedg however, Sophomore hopes are always far-reaching. The largest class in the history of the school entered its second year in King City High on September 3, 1929. However, the membership dropped from seventy-nine students who came into the school as Freshmen to seventy-one who entered the Soph- omore class this year, which is still the largest class in the school. The first Sophomore activity of the year was the formal initiation of the Freshman class. The reception given the new students was a decided success. During the year, those who attained membership in the Honor' Society were: George Beck, James Kelly, Thelma Koenecke, Bessie Pierce, Albert Rist, Woodrow Yost, and Raymond Reynolds. We were represented in football by Albert Rist, Frank Morasci, Richard Giaco- mazzi, Exline Brown, and Don Wiley. The number of Sophomore boys out for basket- ball was so great that no attempt will be made to include their namesg however, those who made the varsity teams were: Albert Rist, Frank Morasci, Curt Harnisch, Charles Benjamin, Fred Giacomazzi, and Loyth Morgan. Many Sophomore boys also showed ability as track men. The purchase of one of the most attractive class banners in the school, and of class pins with K. C. '32 on them, has shown that the class spirit was very much in evidence. The Washington's Birthday program, in charge of the Sophomore class, was well received by the student body. One of the most interesting numbers was a debate on We owe a greater debt to Lincoln than to Washington. Ogn the teams were Nadene Gruwell and Arthur Veal, affirmative, Bessie Pierce and Edward Lesnini, negative. Short talks on Washington life were given by Thelma Koenecke, Lillian Glnesa, and Burns Cadwalader. The Sophomore class wishes to thank Mr. G. M. Weller for his kindness and guid- ance during this year.

They hope for graduation and look forward to careers, and their experience as Freshmen has shown them one must start at the bottom to reach, success. The past year has been a happy and successful one for the class of '33. After the first hardship of initiation week was passed, the sixty-one Freshmen had a general idea of high school customs and were ready to follow the lead of' the upperclassmen. The Freshmen Reception, sponsored by the Sophomores, was the first social event of the semester. Dancing and stunts provided entertainment for everyone. The Freshmen gave a return party to the Sophomores on Hallowe'en. Only three Freshmen had grades high enough to admit them to the Honor Society. They were Virginia Price, Andrew Schmidt, and Robin Cahoon, but many were on the monthly honor roll. 0 Four Freshmen played on varsity teams. In football, we had William Lumley and Gene Franscioni. Our basketball representatives were Gene Franscioni, lightweight, and Norman Campbell and Julius Wittniann, midgets. Throughout the year, the Freshmen showed excellent cooperative spirit among themselves as well as with the upper classes. This was due to Mr. R. E. Warner, class adviser, and the class officers, who directed the Freshmen activities.

GIRLS' ATHLETICS I All members of the girls' physical education class agree that it has been a most enjoyable year in athletics. Miss Hammond our teacher is surely a most able and en- thusiastic instructor. The class, too, has followed her example, and even during the most closely contested games, good spirit prevailed. Many and close were the games which we enjoyed against 'our competitors, the seventh and eighth grade girls. As we could not be allowed to take part in the actual contests of the field day, held by the grammar school, we were asked to serve as referee and to help make the 'lay a success in every way. BOYS' ATHLETICS The athletics of the school year 1929-30 opened with touch fooltball played be- tween teams of the high school. After this basketball became the game of interest. The boys played fairly good team work in the few games played. During the second semester volley ball found its place among the students and Mr. Patterson, and al- though we were short of players, some very snappy games were played. The high school students successfully supervised all athletics on Field Day, May 2. We have not been able to compete with other teams because of the limited number of our players. We have, however, had some fast games among ourselves, and we have tried to cultivate that essential feeling of good sportsmanship that is so necessary for the welfare of a school. -Clifford R. Harris h MISS MOLLT X I On April 4, our high school play was given at the Lockwood Hall. The orchestra and Glee Club took part in the evenings program. The several character parts were well portrayed. The cross-grained old uncle Regie, Francis Watson, was very displeased with a visit from his niece Molly, lMarie Heinsenl. Humor of the play relsulted from trying to get rid of Molly, who in the end captured both the old uncle's favor, and his preferred ward, Clifford Harris. There were two good negro parts taken by Robert Myers and Beatrice Earl. Mildred Weferling, a smart little maid from the city took the place of a missiiig governess and showed 'em some manners before they were thru. Dorothy Topham, a twin sister of the crabbed old Reggie, had always craved to have company, and she surely had them for one night-even the titled Lady Elusia, Helen Topham. GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club, which this year has had twenty-five members, has done very well and everyone certainly enjoyed hearing our songsters at the Musical Entertainment, Field Day and Commencement. t. LOCKWOOD 4-H CLUB The 4-H club has served many purposes in the Lockwood School. It is the one club activity of the school, and not only do we students gain actual knowledge from thc different projects, but it is a means of a social get-together as well. During October, the girls of the clothing club gave a Hallowe'en Masquerade for the rest of the club. Many weird and strange figures appeared, but probably the most comical and grotesque, was that which later in the evening we found to be the assistant leader Miss Hammond. Later the club had a daytime get-together around the chocolate pot and in February, a Valentine party was given at the Lockwood hall. That was some party. On May 26, we are planning to have a picnic and everyone is expecting to enjoy a real swim. - There are three phases to our club work: agriculture, sewing, and nutrition. Each department has showed much improvement over last year's work. Especial mention should be made of the agricultural students who have so carefully planned and worked to improve the appearance of our school grounds. Since we were unable to go to Asilomar last year, we have an extra amount of en- thusiasm and pep stored up to help make our trip there this year a big success. Officers for the club were: Clifford Harris .... ............. P resident Beatrice Earl ............. Vice-President Helen Topham ........ .......

Miss Alice Condit, director, has a first year group and a more advanced one, and both have shown great progress. Besides the musical program, the orchestra will furnish music for Com- mencement and the Field Day program. Plans have been made to include the orchestras of all the other schools attending, this event in an assembled orchestra number at this time.

Though they thought us quite tame, We followed the rules in our game. BASKETBALL Our playing was of a different sort For we played nine court. Till field day came around Then as referees and umpires we did abound. Dorothy Topham I LITERARY-u Wings of Adventure Most of us like adventure, but our lives contain little of it. Therefore, we obtain our adventures from accounts of others, some of which are true and some, ficti- tous. If it were not for literature many people would never be able to enjoy the un- usual side of life. Books carry us from our own narrow, realistic settings to a broader and more altruistic view of life. A Senior's Thought There's heaps of joy in this old world That's spinning like a top And Time with mighty speed has whirled, Without a bump' or stop. , It surely is a fine old place It's where I want to be A smile I'll wear upon my face For life's been good to me. There's heaps of days in every year And all of them are fine Each one brought us a lot of cheer As it came down the line. There's winter days and summer days And days of spring and fall But you will always hear us say We've liked them one and all. But now each one of us must part To carry on his load For each one knows deep in his heart He'Il travel Fortune's Road. Alma Nicola Tom MCLEHH Comes BQCIQ At the door of the Coastal Airways Station, Tom McLean wiped cold, nerveless hands on the rough khaki of his flying ,suit, and once more stared across the gravel runway, to the place where the compan-y's new mail plane strained against her wheel blocks. He saw, standing by the ship's white, glistening wings, Dan Curtin who was to take the plane aloft, and Taft, Coastal Airways manager, in deep conversation. Mc- Lean knew that Curtin was disgusted with him. Fear and cold gripped his heart. His nerve he knew was gone, perhaps forever. Since that wild crash over a month ago, a terror had held of him, and the thought of flying came to him with dread. Curtin and Taft advanced toward the place where McLean was standing. I am determined, said the manager, that McLean accompany you. He deserves it, for he stayed with the other plane until it crashed. Perhaps he will come back. Well, just remember, replied Curtin angrily, Pm to carry this mail and McLean has to stay off the controls. With this he started toward the plane and motionsed to McLean who crawled into the seat beside Curtin. Bad weather ahead, called the manager. Flying-field is fogged in. Curtin gave a carieless shrug as an answer. Opening the ship to full throttle, he took to the air. As the green earth dropped away from beneath them, Tom McLean felt the chill tlouch of fear tighten on his heart, the cold sweat of terror fog the lenses of his goggles. The powerful ship rose steadily at a steep climbing angle into the gray sunless sky. Up and up he went until the altimeter registered three thousand feet, and they had pierced the clouds and emerged into blue sparkling sunlight. An hour, two hours passed, but the powerful thunder of the motor brought no comfort to Tom McLean. Suddenly the ship plunged from clear air into a wall of shifting gray-white shadows. Then there was a tinkle of glass falling, and Dan Cur- tin's exclamation of dismay following it. Thel, he said inaudibly, it's smashed! Tom McLean frozen to his seat, watched the color drain from Curtin's face as the pilot, his lips twisting. stared at the wrecked instrument. Ruined. the tiny tube, which in a fog replaces sight and hearing to the air man, was now only splintered glass. Then with a wild cry McLean loosed the steel clasp of his safety' belt and rising, grasped the padded edge. The ship reeled in the first turn of a dizzy swing. She's in a spin! cried Curtin, his voice piercing the roar of the motor. Hie stepped upon the steel seat, snatched at rip cord, and dived down into mist. Tom McLean sat there, motionless. He groaned and his hands fumbled with his harness. In brief seconds he reviewed his life, lived again the awful crash of the month before which had robbed him -of courage. Then Taft's words came to him A pilot can come back-if he keeps in the air. Keep in the air. He repeated this and suddenly a hot flame seemed to sweep -1 over him, burning away all fear. He drew the stick and rudder neutral, and the crazy downward plunge ceased. The needle of the indicator crawled back. Only four hun- dred feet. Close, dangerously close to earth. Fighting the blinding fog, he carried on. None but an air man can know the heart-breaking strain of flying blind, with eyes that cannot see and all sense of' balance lost. As the -minutes dragged on, he prayed in his broken way for help beyond his own. And then, something splashed upon him. He looked up-the fog was tearing into shreds and raindrops pelted his cheek. The rain had come, and was sweeping the gray mist away, and below he saw a green field. McLean eased downward and circling came to a landing field. A mechanic ran out from the hangar. Fuel me up-I'm flying special mail to 'Frisco. Curtin jumped-you'd better hunt him-ten miles south of here. He paused, then added with solemn smile. I wish you'd phone Taft. Tell him, again he hesitated, that with the right help-a pilot can come back. Juanita Hudson, 31 WINGS OF PROGRESS All up and down our valley, Airplanes of every make, Like giant birds of commerce, Their daily passage take. We see them flying singly, Across the azure sky, Or groups of them together Like geese, wedge flying by. And watching, we are with them, Our hearts and souls as one, And all the best that's in us Is reaching to the sun. J When school days are forgotten, Our laurels hardly won, Our hopes and our ambitions Will still go soaring on. Where will the evening find us? Fearing to take the flights, Or on the wings of progress, Soaring to greater heights. Gordon Plaskett, '30 Companions ln The Desert A few years ago I made a trip to the Mojave desert to visit with a man and his wife, friends of mine, in their shack on a desert homestead. This place had no con- veniences. Hardships were numerous, and at times it was difficult to secure even the necessities of life. We often had to search the desert for miles to get wood to burn. Sometimes we found only a littie dry sagebrush which burned very quickly, giving little heat. Most of our food which was canned, we ordered in large quantities from Los Angeles. Our water supply was very low, slo that if we drew too many pails from the well, it would go dry. Except for the range cattle that were not milked, there were but two cows within a radius of many miles, thus leaving us without fresh milk for table use. One day a neighbor, who lived about six miles away and who owned the twlo cows, promised us a quart of milk in another week. What are you going to do with such a treat? I asked my' hostess. I shall let the cream rise, skim it off, and make some chocolate pddding with a part of it. The rest I shall let sour, and then we shall have some real sour milk hot- cakes, she replied, fairly beaming. We'll need a lot of wood and a good hot fire in that old stove, I added. In all of my spare time I scoured the desert for what wood I could find. Her hus- band and I chopped up old crates and boxes that we found near the desert railroad station. When my hostess was not too tired from her arduous tasks :of trying to make us comfortable, she searched the gullies for small sticks. On the eventful morning my hostess was up early. She built a roaring fire, started the coffee, put on the griddle, and mixed the hot cake batter. Her husband and a friend :of his were waiting at the table for breakfast. When it was time to bake the cakes I offered to help, but she wouldn't allow it. These cakes are too precious for you to be spoiling by presiding at the griddle, she told me, as she triumphantly turned a golden-brown flapjack. The pancakes were delicious. How hard she wsorked to keep our plates filled! How 1'ed her face grew! How we three men ate! At last our hostss placed a fragrant pile of the cakes on her own plate. She went back to the stove to remove the griddle and get some coffee. Her feast was ready. While she was at the stove, her husband reached over tio her plate. I didn't realize what he was doing until too late. He placed half of the hotcakes on his plate and half on his friends. When the hostess returned, her plate was empty and only a few bites of what should have been her breakfast remained. Her exprelssion I sh, all never forget. Disappointment was apparent, as she had planned so long for this treat. She fumbled for her handkerchief, but instead pulled her calico apron to her wet eyes. I did my best to comfort her. She drank some hot coffee, and at last turned to me and said, Well they were good, weren't they? And the men enjoyed them, or they w1ouldn't have taken mine, too! k Roy Schmdt, '31 mi oneses On Their Vacation June! the month of brides! the month of roses! the month of birds! and the month of vacations! In the heart of every true American the feeling that is termed spring fever is awakened during this time of the year. One good remedy for spring fever is take a vacation. The Jones family was a typical American family, composed of four, Father, Mother, Mary, the thirteen year old daughter, and Billy, the ten year old son. The monotony of business, home, and school had become very tiresome for each one of them. They fairly ached for variety. Gee, Mom, I don't see why we can't have a vacation? Billy Dunn's folks are go- ing to take him to the mountains for two weeks. Why can't we take the old Chevrolet and go out in the country somewhere camping? demanded Billy. Well, son, I'm perfectly willing, but you'll have to ask your father. Heaven knows, I could stand a vacation after the siege of measles and colds we've had this winter. Evidently father had felt the same way about it, for within a week the old Chev- rolet was loaded to the fenders with bedding, tent poles, boxes of this and bundles of that, fishing rods, canned food, and other articles of camping equipment. I surely hope old Chevy is on her good behavior, mused Dad. He was think- ing of the little drive they had taken some weeks before into the country for eggs. The eggs were forty cents a dozen in the city, but only thirty five at a farm house twelve miles away. Intending to save money and also enjoy an outing, the family drove to the farm house and purchased tw,o dozen eggs. The day did not prove as profitable and enjoyable as they had calculated, for the car used up thirty cents worth of gas going to the farm house, and on the way home the connecting rod broke necessitating that the car be towed. The trip including the tow car bill, the gas, and the eggs, cost exactly 38.97. This unprofitable excursion, however, did not dampen their desire for the vacation trip. The family at'last was organized. Into the old Chevy they jumped and were soon to be seen riding happily along the highway. Old Chevy was freely given the gas this time, and, even with all the baggage, responded to Father's fioot very well. In a few hours they began to feel the thrill of the country for a bee had stung Mary on the lip and Mrs. Jones' neck was sunburned. The radiator had boiled over only twice, and one of the camping chairs had been lost coming down the grade. About six o'clock they came to a camp ground beside a small stream. Above the entrance was a huge sign Squirrels' Rest. The camp ground was composed of two rows of houses, all built alike, and a few cages of squirrels that had been captured and placed in these cages about the office as a fulfillment of the name of the place, Squirrels' Rest. It wasn't a delightful place, but it would do for the first night out. A cabin was rented and the unpacking of the car begun. Every camper knows from experience the heart pangs, the disappointments and the labor involved in this operation. After a great deal of effort and argument each searched for the object of his individual wants. The craving for food soon overtook the four and they were soon busy preparing the meal which was to consist of canned corn, canned. sardines, as there was no fish in the creek, canned peaches, as well as a can of fruit salad for cocktail. After a frantic search through the many articles of kitchen accessories, Mrs. Jones found the can opener. ' The day had been long and strenuous for the Joneses, so about eight 3o'clock they decided to go to bed. Billy wanted to sleep in the front seat of the car and Mary in the back. Mr. and Mrs. Jones slept in the cabin, which had one door and one window. The door had to be kept closed on account of the mosquitos which seemed large and unusually aggressive. The window had a screen on it and could be left open. The fumes of the gas jet combined with the lack of cross ventilation made sleep impossible for Mrs. Jones. However, her husband snored and tossed intermittently. No news was heard from the suite in the car until morning. Hey, Mom, come here quick, Billy's got the measles, cried Mary. Mrs. Jones ran outside and sure enough, Billy's face was one mass of red blotches. In a second they decided they must return home at once. ' The hours that followed were hectic indeed. Toward evening they arrived in the city and rushed with little Billy to the Doctor. After the Doctor had gone through the regular procedure of taking Billy's temper- ature, feeling his pulse, and testing his heart, he smiled and said, Well, little fellow, I'll just diagnose this case as one of mosquito bites. I guess you sleep pretty well under the covers, because your face is the only affected part of your body. It took the family a week to recuperate from their twenty-four hour camping trip. Because of the way the old Chevy was speeded up while they were bringing Billy to the Doctor, it will probably not be able to make another long trip. The next Sunday the family took lunch and rode on a street car to the park. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and came back to their duties satisfied with their quiet jaunt. Frances Eckerich, '31 CONTINUE ON Although your battles may be hard, And many trouble cross your way, Not all your joys can e'er be marred, If you but struggle day by day. Beyond that goal which you have won, Another still can yet be soughtg So you must onward bend your steps To higher things which can be' wrought. If you keep up your courage bold, And fight with all your might and main, Success will come to you three-fold, And all forgotten be your pain. Then, senior class, continue on However heavy be your load, May your achievement be the dawn Of your success on Fortune's Road. Alexa Bachar, '31 fl-he lvlenace of Cheap Fiction As a man thinketh, so is he. This quotation, taken from thie Bible, could also be phrased in reference to fiction, As a man readeth, so is he. Cheap fiction as defined by one man is, nothing but a string of incidents tied to- gether without any food for thought. Is it the tramp reading Ivanhoe, The Three Musketeers, The Tale of Two Cities ? Is it the successful business man reading the dime novels ? No, it is vice-versa. The first man, who possibly has never read a good book, would probably not appreciate lone if he did read it. He might say, That book is sure rotten, just look at that hero, couldn't lick that bunch of guys. Why in the books I like, he would have licked all twenty. The reas-on he doesn't The reason he doesn't appreciate the good book is because his mind is narrowed by the cheap fiction, the dime novels. He doesn't think about the readingg all he does is read for the thrill given by hardboiled crooks, or the beautiful girl. On the other hand, the business man reads for enjoyment also, but not for the sly crook, or the baby-faced girl. The books he reads have good wholesome characters who do pos- sible deeds. His mind is broad enough for the good things in the book. Naturally, if his mind is developed enough to know good reading when he sees it, it will be able to grasp a good business opportunity when he meets itg that is why he is successful in his work. If you like crime or detective stories you don't have to gvo to the corner news stand and buy a cheap magazine. Save your money, go to the library and get a good detective novel. Any library can give you a story which is just as interesting and more cleverly written. This choice of reading material applies particularly to high school readers. If a high school student reads cheap fiction all the time, when the English, teacher tells him to read a good book for a report, ' he comes whining back saying that he got nothing out of it. Why? His mind was not broad enough to grasp the thought. He had limited his range of appreciation by cheap fiction. Burns Cadwalader, '32 REFLECTIONS They shall fly through the air like birds. Read the Scripture of long ago Then little was thought of those true words When uttered so earnest and low. What a wonderful knowledge and vision had he Who could see in the future so far, And know of the things soon to be And tell of the things that now are. Did he know that the airplanes would fly? And soar o'er the mountains and plains, And how could he see them up there in the sky In adventure for pleasure or gain? And did he have a vision, or how did he know, That things could and would be as they are? Did he dream that the minds of the people would grow And thus carry them onwards so far? Mabel O'Connor, '31 Ionae Oswald, '31 Flying Fools Will he get by always, Or will he crash below? There are many hidden by-ways That cause such things, you know. Humor, wit, and mischief Do not bring successg Brainwork, nerve, and study Make flying at its best. Flying fools don't last longg Their nerve and daring slipg Wit and humor will be gone These will not save the ship. It takes a man, a real man, To fly on top today. Courage, faith, and knowledge Will keep him on his way. Hazel Wiley, '30 WINGS OF VICTORY Far on the distant horizon, A triangle of planes appear. Shake the belt, test the guns, Rythmatic fire is good to hear. Guns in orderg nerves all tense, Planes draw near, all suspense. Formation broken, dogfight on, Loop, spin, shoot, be gone. One Bosche plane goes down in flames. One more victory someone claims. Planes appear in some blind spot, Trying hard to score that shot. Planes crash head on while in flight Neither would give up the fight. Both go down in pyres of flame, Victories no others claim. The air is full of a dinning noise, Straining motors, and brave boys. Guns a-clatter, spitting flame, And tracer bullets at enemy plane. The enemy gives up the fight, Another victory won by might. The conquerors slowly homeward fly, Knowing 'twas not their day to die. THE MAIL PLANE High in the clouds the shadow of a plane Appears a speck in vaulted vast domain The pilot looking down through gauze like space Then sees a wide view like a printed page. He sees the children running out to play, And running over the fields of fresh mown hay. He sees the farmers till the fertile soil, And knows they are weary from heavy toil. He sees a sky scrapper while passing by The church spires then are next to catch the eye. He sails over fields of every hue As he makes trips through skies of blue. Thus you may see him flying when day is done A tiny speck against the Western sun. Rhythmic hum of plane as he glides along Is sweeter to him than a joyous song. Peter Weaver, '30 Elbert Hutchens H 'f t JEd'itoriels cP'fo1nirKing Hi1Ways's ' THE LONG ROAD AND THE HARD TASK 3 A college president once said he was thankful for the long road and for the tasks which were great enough that a lifetime could not compass them. This might well be considered by those who are choosing their lifework. Short cuts, easy job, quick returns are slogans of the hour which lead many astray: Such slogans are not conductive to finishing valuable work. Young people choosing vocations -ought not to be satisfied with one that is short-lived and brings quick re- turns. The worthwhile task is one so great that no man can negotiate it alone, and that no single lifetime is long enough to complete. It ought to be difficult enough that we are forced to? seek the aid of others, and thus come into the brotherhood of service that makes life beautiful and work a joy. Cooperative effort enables life and lifts it to higher levels. The short road, the easy task, soon comes to an end, and leads nowhere, but the long road is challenging and leads to far horizons. All great pioneers from Lincoln to Lindbergh have been followers of the long road. Traveling this road broadens the vision, increases' strength, and kindles h-ope. After going on the long road all day, we may be weary when night comes, but the road that lies ahead calls us, even in our dreams, and beckons us on. So, to the end of life, the road still goes on. Others will travel it, and ours is the joy of chieering them as they begin where we leave off. Let us be thankful for the long road and the hard task. It enables us to cooperate with the ,strong and wise of our generations, relate ourselves to those who have gone before, and look forward hopefully to those who will wme after. In choosing a life work take the long road and the difficult task. ' ' Juanita Hudson, '32 SUCCEEDING BY FAILING It was through failing that I learned. Success had taught me' nothingjbut when failure came I began to study. I wanted to know why. 'N A . These were the words -of a great financier. When a young man he succeeded in everything he undertook. His business grew, and his fortune increased rapidly. His success attracted attention, and he became an outstanding figure. E ' Then came changes in industrial conditions. The same breaks that had worked for him once, now worked against him. His business crashed and his fortune was swept away. And he didn't know why. Working day and night to save what he could, he forgot about people for a time. His position in the mind of the people had altered. During this time he was making' personal experiments, observations, and investigations, and he wasrmaking personal progress. - Years afterwards, he again became president of a great concern. It was by failing that he had learned. Through deep -studying he began to understand fundamentals, in- dustry, the market, and human nature. He could not be defeated again, for this time he had built his business on solid rock. ' - When we fail, with a little investigation on our part we can discover the trouble, and set out with a will to remedy it.

EQ Warner, Adviser Scholarship for Service, the motto of Chapter 70 of the California Scholarship Federation has proved a worthy aim for our activities. During the past year, many pupils have earned the privilege of being honor students, the average membership reaching twenty-three. A student may become a member of the organization if he has earned ten units during the quarter he wishes to be admitted. Eight of these units must be earned by subject grades, while two may be gotten in activities. In scholarship, a one equals three units and a two , one. In activities, an hour of work gives from six to ten points, one hundred points needed for one unitg for fifteen P. A. L. points or for membership on a varsity team, one unit is received. An honor pass is presented every quarter to each member. These passes are special privileges to -go from one room to another, and they eliminate the work of writinga pass and .having a teacher sign it. Members for two consecutive quarters may buy anoviate pin whichis a small torch. When one has been a member for eleven quarters, a semesfcer of which is in the senior year, he is entitled-to the -gold lamp, the laureate pin. and a goldseal on his diploma.

With the keen and active interest displayed by the girls and the advice of Mrs. M. E. Williams, Dean of Girls, and Miss Carol Bunte, physical education instructor, the Convention was a success for. King City. The P. A. L. has added to its ritual a formal installation Candle Ceremony.

Earning points has been simplified so that it is now possible for more girls to win the K. C. block. To further interest in the organization, parties and picnics have been given in the gymnasium and on the football turf for those girls who belong to the League. In all, the P. A.

Sewing, cooking, planning the meal, and arranging the table have all been part of the work discussed in this organization. Under the direction of Miss Naomi Millis, the club has had monthly meetings and has served several luncheons. The girls entertained the G. C. C. A. L. during its con- vention here, the San Jose basketball teams, the Rotary Club, and the board members and their wives with the faculty and their wives at an afternoon tea held on the high school lawn. Near the close of the year the Seco Club enjoyed refreshments served out of doors. All the sewing and cooking girls are enrolled in the club. The object of the group is to promote school activities through cooperation and leadership of its members. Money was raised for the club by selling homemade cookies and candy at the cafeteria. At the end of the school term this money was used to buy a gift for the girls' rest room. - A pin was given at the end of each semester for the high point winner in a con.- test- conducted throughout the year. The points were scored on excellence of food products made at school and at home, and efficiency and neatness in household duties. The pin which was a small bronze spoon with the Words Home Ee engraved on it, was awarded to Marjorie Jones at the end of the first semester.

The community is also helped by the group. This year the-boys have increased their Ag. fund considerably by pruning trees, and planting lawns. They have pruned the ornamental trees along the streets of King City and at our school. The classes have been using nearby orchards as experimental plots, and consider it a privilege to be allowed to prune and spray these.

The club is still a young institution, but it has developed more rapidly than any other organization of its kind in the country. ' i F w P I ATHLETICS..- Wings of Courage Since competition in ordinary life is gradually growing keener, courage is need- ed if the individual is to stand the gafff' This courage is instilled by athletics. Sports teach people to meet defeats, and despite them, to strive on for victory. BASKETBALL When Coach Huebel called the basketball candidates for practice in December, he was faced with the problem of building up teams with new material. Only three heavyweights from the previous year remained, Albert Rist, Jack Hamilton, and Tony Garcia. With these three and three of last year's lightweights, Dan Soberanes, How- ard Mansfield and Peter Weaver as well as Bill Lumley and Richard Giacomazzi, who were newcomers in basketball, a fairly successful team was organized. Rist and Weav- er played center, Hamilton and Soberanes, forward, and Garcia, Mansfield and Lum- ley alternated at defending the basket. The lightweights had good material from the start. With five experienced players, Frank Morasci, Curt Harnisch, Ray Davis, Charles Benjamin, Paul Reich., and five beginners, Bill Knowles, Gene Franscioni, Eugene Wittman, and Bob Castro the pros- pects for a successful lightweight seasion were promising. At the beginning of the season the following combination was picked: Harnisch, centerg Morasci and Fran- scioni, forwards, Reich, Davis, and Benjamin, guards. The team was fast and very clever on the floor. The midgets had little material from which to choose, but they offered competi- tion to every opponent. Those who made up the team were Tom and Julius Wittman, a very fast forward combination, Fred Giacomazzi, with his height, did well at center and Bob Foor, Woodrow Yost, Carl Reich, and Norman Campbell took turns defending the basket. The league season presented strong opposition, and the Mustangs found that they would have to work hard to win games. The midgets and heavies were defeated badly by Monterey, but our lightweights easily took their game. The next game, with Pacific Grove, produced the same results. The two following weeks, the Mustangs lost both of their games, first to Watsonville, and then to Santa Cruz. The next game with Salinas, proved fatal for our lightweights and midgets, but the heavies here won their first league game. The next games of the season were victories for both the heavies and lights, the former team defeated Salinas Junior College, and the latter, Boulder Creek. The last games with Gonzales, which had no heavyweight team, proved to be the most exciting, although we lost both of the games. Pnobably our lack of success was due to our changes in defense, as neither the five-man nor the man-to-man defenses were mastered. Pre-League Games Heavyweights-K. C. 11, San Jose 40 at King City, K.

The team did not exert itself, but showed up in good style. The midgets seemed to have stage-fright, which they didn't overcome until the last quarter. This resulted in their defeat, 25-11. In the heavyweight division, the Mustangs were entirely outclassedg the Monterey team seemed to be in perfect condition. The score was 42-21. K. C. vs. Pacific Grove The midgets, having overcome their stage fright of the previous week, played a good game, 30-27. This game was very exciting with both teams continually tying the score, and it was only during the last minute that King City got the lead. Our heavies did not offer much competition for P. G. and lost by a score of 46-9. I i K. C. vs. Watsonville The midgets did not show the pluck and fight that they had previously displayed and weremtaken in by a score of 31-11. The lightweights apparently wanted the game game without tryingg consequently, they lost by a score of 23-12. The heavyweights seemed to be improving steadily and played a good game. They held the Apple City boys in check the first half, but could not keep up the speed. The game ended 23-8 in our opponent's favor. K. C. vs Santa Cruz The midgets lost their game, although they outplayed their opponents. They tried hard to win, but just could not do it, losing by a score of 17-11. The ligbtweights were not up to their standard and the game was a walk+away for Santa Cruzg the final score was 31-11. The heavies, like the midgets, were out to win, but were defeat- ed 21-18. - K. C. vs. Salinas The midgets played a replica of the Santa Cruz game, but were defeated, 15-14. This was a very close game and decided the championship for the Salinas midgets. The lightweights were again defeated, but the surprise was that we were defeated by Salinas whom we had previously beaten by a large score. The score was 22-12. The heavyweights took the only game of the evening by defeating Salinas 31-27. The game was hardfought throughout, with both teams tying the score often. K. C. vs. Boulder Creek The lightweights seemed to have attained their old stride by defeating Boulder Creek 16-11. Although the lightweights had been losing for a considerable time, this game proved that they could come back. Boulder Creek had no heavyweight team, so the Mustang heavies played Salinas Junior College. The game was a close one, and our boys finished the season with a 29-22 victory. K. C. vs. Gonzales In the last game of the season the midgets were too sure and they lost by a score of 20-11. The lightweights should have taken their game, but they did not play fast enough. The game ended 21-20 in favor of Gonzales. This was a bitter disappointment to local basketball enthusiasts, as King City boys had played their best throughout the game. N TRACK Keen interest in track has been felt throughout this 1930 season. One of the chief reasons for this was that we possessed as many prospective point winners as most of the high schools in the league. At the first turn out, February 24, only twenty four boys answered the call issued by Coach Huebel, but later the lightweight and heavies together totaled thirty five. The heavies seemed to have good prospects, as many veterans came out to compete again. Although nearly all the lightweights were inexperienced, material was promising and Coach was much encouraged over our possibilities. In the Interclass Track Meet which the Juniors and Sophomores won by a large score, many capable new first year men were found, and a number of veterans came back with greater promise than they had before shown. Triangular Meet at Salinas This first track meet of the season held at Salinas, April 5, in which King City Salinas and Pacific Grove-Monterey competed, King City lost by a few points to the combined teams of the latter schools. Many very good performances were turned in for K. C., considering the inexperience of the boys. The lightweights did not show up as well as theheavies, but did well for the small amount of material available in that group. The outstanding stars in both sections were: Howard Ross in low hurdles and 100-yard dash, Malcolm Douglas in high hurdles and 220, and Paul Reich, first in shot put and second in discus. Others were Bill Lumley, Gerald D'Alvarez, Herbert Earl, Frank Morasci, and Albert Rist. The meet ended with Pacific Grove-Monterey placing first, King City, second, and Salinas, third. 1 King City Invitational Track Meet King City's fourth annual invitational track meet, which was held April 12 at King City, was a success not only for the track team, but for our school and our town. Backed by the K. C. Chamber of Commerce and the American Legion, we had the support of the townspeople. The meet was attended by two hundred and fifty boys from schools of the Central Coast sections including Hollister, Monterey, Pacific Grove,4Santa Cruz, Watsonville, and Paso Robles, Moran School for Boys, Santa Maria, and San Luis Obispo. All the medals and cups for the different events were donated by the Chamber of Commerce and the high points medals were given by the American Legion. King City heavyweights, who seemed to be having bad luck, did not place in their division because competition was too keen. Lightweights saved the honor of the school when they placed three firsts to their creditg these were the shotput and discus, won by Paul Reich, and Frank Morasci, with a tie in the pole vault. In all, the track and field meet was a success for K. C. Hi. ' C. C. A. L. Meet Results of this meet were just the reverse of the invitational meet. Here the heav- ies took first and second placts while the hightweights did not place in any event. The heavyweights surprised the spectators by placing second in the relay. The final score of the meet gave Watsonville first, Salinas second, and King City third. Those boys placing were Gerald D'Alvarez first in discus and second in shot put, Herbert Earl third in discus, Douglas first in high hurdles, and Donald Smith third in 880. The relay team which took second was composed of Edward O'Connor, Bob Vasquez, Jack Hamilton, and Ray Reynolds. This '29 football season was opened with a promising team that surprised our supporters but fell somewhat short of expectations. Very little preparation was made before the opening practice games, but it was in these games that the Mustangs displayed their greatest strength. The first practice game was at Paso Robles, at which Coach Hue- bel tried out every player he had. Thus, he found where each individual could play and which men were best fitted for the positions. On October 5, the team tackled Santa Cruz and real competition was offered by the K. C. Mustangs, which surprised our fans. This game turned out to be the best game of the season. The following Saturday, October 12, brought the Monterey game. Making a poor showing in the first half, the boys came back in the second period with a de- termination to stop the Toreadors, but with no success. The next game was with Hollister. The first touchdown of the season and the first in two years for the Mustangs was made during this struggle , but it seemed that it was all to no avail because Hollister gave no sign of letting the boys repeat the play. Our success in the Pacific Grove' game was similar to that in the Hollister game. The Mustangs showed little cooperation or teamwork. In the last game of the sea- son the boys determined to finish with a spirit and will. They succeeded in winning from Watsonville with a score of 13-12. King City-Paso Robles I This pre-season game was for the sole object .of finding material for .coming games. The following athletes were chosen to represent K. C. on the turf: Backfield-Tony Garcia, Gene Franscioni, Tom Wittman, Bob 'Vasquez, Howard Mansfield, Albert Rist. Center-Clarence Schmidt, Frank Morton: Guard-Francis McConnell, Captain, Charles Garelli, Franklyn Wiley, Teddy Vasquez. .Tackles- Herbert Earl, Cecil Tognazzini, William Lumley, Richard Giacomazzi. Ends-Paul Reich, Howard Rose, Loron Giacomazzi, Fred Harper. Although the local team played hard, and played the Almond City boys off their feet, fumbles and poor judgment lost the game. The final score was 7-0 in favor of Paso Robles. King City-Santa Cruz The first league game was played with King City at Santa Cruz. This game was the best of the season. King City surprised Santa Cruz by holding the Cardinals to a score of 7-0 in the first half. Constant gruelling of the S. C. heavy line and endless supply of substitutes wore the K. C. boys out, and the game ended with the final score of 27-0. ' King City-Monterey The Toreadors were well prepared for K. C. Mustangs. They were both smooth and experienced and with Pop Warner's plays well in hand, outdid our boys in every play. The K. C. players put up 9. hard fight, but lost again with a 34-0 score. King City-Hollister In a field of dust, the Mustangs and the Hollister Haybalers battled, but as usual K. C. did not weather the battle. In the first quarter, K. C. by a series of passes, succeeded in netting a goal, the first of the season. The remainder of the game, Hlollister kept King City well in hand and did not give her a chance to make another touchdown. King City-Pacific Grove The Mustangs seemed to lack cc-loperation and teamwork in this game. In the first quarter P. G. scored three touchdowns. Only a few times were K. C. boys able to hold the team at bay. The game, as a whole, was played very poorly and ended with a score of 31-0, in P. G's favor. King City-Watsonville The last game of the season was with Watsonville on the K. C. turf, November 22. It was faster than earlier games, as it was not marred by fumbles and poor plays. We scored in the first quarter after a series of passes. Watsonville scored soon after and at the half the score stood 7-6. Coming back with the right spirit the Mustangs made a second touchdown with Watsonville again crossing our goal in the third quarter. The last quarter was a battle, first one side having the ball and then the other. The game ended with a score of 13-12 in favor of K. C. GIRLS' ATHLETICS During the school 'year 1929-1930 great interest has been shown in girls' athletics. Hockey equipment was purchased and this sport, heretofore new to K. C. Hi, became very popular. Folk dancing was re-introduced into the gym work and has been greatly enjoyed by the girls. Basketball was the first sport participated in this year, with the Seniors victorious for the fourth successive year in the interclass games. The Senior line-up was Pauline Martinus, Anita Weferling, Jennie Heinsen, Elda Nicola, Mayme Smith, and Leonor Hickey. During the next period, volley ball was played three days a week and gymnastics was scheduled for the remaining two days. April 5, the only annual Spring Play Day was held in Santa Cruz with thirty six girls from K. C. attending. At this playday volley ball, basketball, speedball, and hockey were played. Besides these games, folk dancing and relay races were used as a means for the girls of different schools to become acquainted. Much of the success of this year's gym classes has been due to the variety of the work presented and excellent instruction of Miss Carol Bunte, physical education instructor. V l ACTIVITIES-H Wings of Leadership In this century, probably more than in any other in history, people who have the ability to lead others are in demand. How- ever, the successful person in able to take orders as well as to give them. This quality of leadership is developed largely through contact with others. In school this contact is offered by our many activities. Student Executive Council the year, is governed by the student executive council, elected from the students at large. This executive committee nominates the candidates for election to student body offices and confers with Principal Williams on all matters to be laid before the students. Members of the governing body are: . First Semester-Frank Morton, Presidentg Jewel Lynn, Vice-Presi- dent, Vesta Newman, Secretary-Treasurerg George Anderson, Boys' Athletic Manager, Frances Eckerich, Town Representative, Laurent Layous, South Bus Representative, Clarenre Schmidt, Bitterwater Bus Representativeg Mayme Smith, North Bus Representative, Fred Evans, Arroyo Seco Bus Representativeg Howard Mansfield, Senior Class Presi- dent, Paul Reich, Junior Class Presidentg Woodrow Yost, Sophomore Class Presidentg John Starbird, Freshman Class President: Opal Foletta, P.

P. A. L. Previous to this year, officers were elected annually. In June 1929, an amend- ment to the constitution was passed which provided for semi-annual elections. Under this system more students may obtain offices, making our organization more democratic. ' Our student body, which consists of all those who have paid dues for Dramatics Dramatics has for some time taken an important place in To---Q-'T the curriculum of King City High. Again, exceptionally great D interest has been manifested in the dramatic work by both stu- dents and their friends. R A deeper understanding, greater poise, more thorough mastery of self. Fine Words, indeed, are these, the expression of A the motive in the teaching of high school dramatics. The drama M class provides training in fundamentals and in appreciation, and and also helps to create opportunities for training in citizenship A 'I and character building. According to present grading systems, 1: J: qqooqoooooqq every student is graded, not only upon his subject achievement, but also upon such character qualities as seriousness of purpose, courtesy, initiative, responsibility, and cooperation. Dramatics activity can make an outstanding contribu- tion in the development of such character. ' While the class at first is mainly concerned with the fundamentals of speech, action, and problems of technique, the last half of the year is devoted in a large measure to production. During this period the entire class is engaged in rehearsing plays, usually one-acts. Sometimes there are five or six plays in preparation at one time. The rehearsals are held in the assembly or adjoining rooms, and the plays are presented at a student body meeting or for public entertainments. This year both the Junior and Senior plays were presented by the drama class, for naturally the students in drama were the logical ones trained for the work. This class production also enabled bus students to participate. Dramatics T.---...W The annual Senior Play, A Full House , by Fred Jackson, :F S was given by the dramatics class for the benefit of the Senior :I Class, on December thirteenth at grammar school auditorium. A :I E P great deal of the success of the production was due to Mrs. M. E. 1: Williams' excellent coaching. :Q N L The plot centered about a reckless, wealthy youth, portrayed If I A by Jack Hamilton, who wrote love letters to a designing chorus IQ girl, Dorothy Smith. The attorney brother-in-law, Frank Morton, 1: O Y stole the letters and got his hand-bag mixed up with the grip of a :I burglar, George Ramos, who had just stolen a valuable ruby ll R ll necklace from the mother of the indiscreet youth. The efforts of :L Q the crook to recover his plunder involved a swiftness of action which never stopped throughout the play. Frances Eckerich provided the comedy in the play in her portrayal of the maid, Susie from Sioux City. Her accomplice was Roy Schmidt in the part of Parkes, the butler. Jennie Heinsen typified a maiden aunt to perfection. Her loving niece, Daphne, Frances Doyle, touched the hearts of the audience with her portrayal of a much inter- fered with bride-to-be.

Frank Morton and Jennie Heinsen gave an excellent portrayal of Pa and Ma Bence the fond but penurious parents. Ione Oswald was admirable as Ruthie, the little sister, who always understood every situation perfect- ly. Roy Schmidt as Duke Merrill proved that he could handle with ease the part of a rich young lawyer. Dorothy Smith and Jack Hamilton, the married couple were interesting as Mr. and Mrs. Ben Wade. Peter Weaver as Kempy James, the striving young architect, added much interest by his excellent characterization. This play has added another page to Mrs. M. E. Williams' book of dramatic successes, and has shown that her coaching' ability is unlimited. The members of the Junior Class appreciate her cooperation.

Another very important phase of the work if H has been to teach the boys how to file, set, and joint saws. They :I also learned to sharpen all the tools which are used in their daily il I :I G shopwork. :I Many projects have been completed this year under the su- :I P pervision of Mr. I. J. Watts. Some of the articles constructed dur- H ing the year are trailers, writing desks, hayracks, cedar and tool H chests, book cases, easels, nut bowls, smoking stands, candle sticks, aerial towers, stepping stones, and others that are useful on the farm 'and in the home. The largest project taken over by the class was the construc- tion of Principal H. O. Williams' garage. The value of a shop to the school and the community can be seen by the many ways it has helped both in repairing and con- structing all sorts of articles. During the month of March a Farm Mechanics team went to Salinas to com- pete with other schools, but failed to place. However, John Lombardi made more points than any other individual there. Odds and ends jobs done by the boys were: building ten folding tables for the Masonic Lodge, constructing a candy wagon for Mr. F. M. Williams, making a portable goal post for the girls' hockey teams, repairing and building new hurdles, installing the forms for the foundations to the senior flood lights, repairing the bell of the Episcopal Church and doing odd concrete jobs. Vocational That more interest has been taken in auto mechanics this ' 4I year than formerly may be seen by comparing the enrollment of A 1929 with that of 1930. The class began with seventeen members U two years ago, and it now has forty-three. Students in this depart- u ment are given the opportunity to become familiar with many - branches of automobile repairing. This will enable those who in- nl T M tend to take auto mechanics as a profession, to see what phase of the work is the most interesting for them. O E Under the supervision of Mr. C. S. Walker the boys have taken up many different kinds of work besides the ordinary type of ' C l ll motors and running gears. Included in these works have been radiator repairing, acetylene welding, blacksmithing, machine ll tool operating, building bodies and repairing motors, and QQQQQQQQQQQQ body and fender work. Great interest was taken in the - reconstruction of Fords. Four Ford bugs and one small car made from a motorcycle engine were built this year by Walter Gillett, Fred Evans, Don Smith, Charles Garelli, and Gerald DeAlvarez. Cecil Tognazzini is justly proud of his hack saw, built for the school. This will do away with former methods of sawing iron by hand, will be a great advantage in sawing all kinds of iron. The vise for this was made by Harold Williamson. Richard Giacomazzi has an acetylene welded projector to his credit which supplies a long needel want of the Physics room. The class project was a tow car made from a Cadillac sedan for the Chevrolet Garage. A twelve passenger bus for the school was also built by four members of the class. This bus will be used in the vicinity of Greenfield to transport students to the main bus line there. The boys made a large tool cabinet for the department's own use. The work, under the direction of Mr. Walker, is handled in such a way that every boy is given a chance to become familiar with the branches of auto mechanics. Publications 999999999997 This year the paper staff has been aided by the Journalism 1: Class and advised by Miss Helen Fox. The King Hi-Ways staff P has aroused interest in the paper by different types of editorials A and news features. Five hundred copies of King Hi-Ways are ' printed in our print shop every two weeks. Our paper has been a P success due to our excessive circulation and the work of the staff :I and those interested in writing. - ll A E Emphasis in the written work for the King Hi-Ways has been laid especially on attractive makeup, feature stories, and the dif- R ferent types of editorials. Thus, every edition varied from the pre- ll ceeding issue in its plan of makeup, which had been worked out by ...........J' the Journalism class.

It waslion this occasion that a clever and jolly affair was held in both the high school auditorium and gym September 27, 1929. The purpose of the reception is always to receive formally the freshmen and to make them feel at home in their new surroundings. After this event hazing and initiat- ing must stop. s The first half of the evening was devoted to stunts which were presented by the different classes. The Senior stunt was the impersonation of well4known comic strip characters. The Juniors followed with a comedy, The Villian Still Pursued Her. The Sophomores presented two songs, Barnacle Bill the Sailor and The Wedding of the Painted Doll, both of which were cleverly dramatized by the singers. The Freshman stunt consisted of mouth organ solos and duets, and two amusing dialogues. After the stunts, all were invited to attend the reception in the gym where a grand march of costumed Freshmen started the dancing. The Freshmen proved that they were worthy to be members of our student body by their cooperation with the other classes in this event, their splendid attitude, and the enthusiasm with which they entered into the events of the evening. 1uN1oR PROM This year's Junior Prom, sponsored by the Class of '31, and given June 6 in the gymnasium, was indeed unusual. The setting represented an 'Hawaiian wlood- land scene by moonlight, and the theme was cleverly carried out by the ulse iof palms, native huts, shields and spears. The ceiling appeared as an evening sky with a moon and stars as lights. Palm trees bordered the gym and the orchestra was enclosed in an Hawaiian hut. Soft lights and starlit sky combined with the haunting strains of the music to provide a suitable atmosphere for the most important social event of the spring season. The programs, with an Hawaiian scene painted on the covers, further carried out the general theme. On these, a story was told, spaces being left to insert the dancers' names. ' Mrs. M. E. Williams, Junior class advisor, and those Juniors who served on' the various committees deserve praise for this delightful affair. The Prom committee in- cludes: Laurent Layous, chairman: Paul Reich, Roy Schmidt, Ione Oswald, Alma Nic- ola, George Ramos, Dan Sobranes, Ray Davis, and Tony Garcia. Q x l -A Carnival Right over here for hot dogs, folks, hot dogs! See the latest fashions for women! Let us help you plan your summer outfit! Come and see yourself in the movies. Only ten cents, a dime. Such exclamatiuons were heard at K. C. Hi's second annual carnival given in the high school gym on May 2 to raise money to finance La Copa de Oro. Our second carnival was a success, both financially and socially. A This year a plan which placed all responsibility on students rather than on teacher was used. A member of the general carnival committee was in charge of a department, such as general attractions. This chairman selected other chairmen for each attraction included in the special feature. The selection and arrangement of the concessions was in the hands of Mr. R. E. Warner and a general student committee of which Paul Reich was chairman. Many new and unusual attractions were seen at this year's carnival. Fatima, the graceful dancer, was absent and also the Congress of Freaks, but the tea garden, fashion show, magic, and movies were all new concessions. Two plays At the Stroke of Twelve and The Laziest Woman opened the carni- val at 7:45. Immediately at the close of the plays the barkers began to howl and con- fusion and noise was everywhere. The gym presented a colorful scene with its garden effect, Japanese lanterns, and bright colored booths. The Women's Only and Men's Only were two of the biggest shows of the evening. The jitney dance held in one corner of the gym was very popular. The music was fur- nished by George Ramos, Jessie Hughes, Leonor Hickey, and Sammie McReynolds. The movies were a surprise to many pupils and downtown poople. Jumbo. the praying and groaning elephant, the most unusual animal in captivity was so unusual that he will not be forgotten by 'those who saw him. The shooting gallery, darts, and spikes were interesting to men and boys. Our fish pond was one of the first concessions to close-all the fish were caught and no more were available. The tea garden was very well patronized. There were bowls of flowers on thc tables and the walls were prettily decorated with flowers and shrubbery. Hot dogs, popcorn, and soda were provided at the hot dog stand for all who wished them. Mr. Williams announced the close of the carnival at 11:30. Those who worked so untiringly to make it a success did not regret their efforts. Because of the success of this carnival, our annual became a reality. ournalism The Journalism class has successfully completed its first year as a separate class under the direction of Miss Helen Fox. The work done in this class consisted of studying the essentials of good journalistic writing, writing the majority of articles for the paper, and studying the contents and makeup of school and metropolitan papers. A few special articles for the annual have also been written. Nineteen pupils, Juniors and Seniors, were enrolled in this course. These students have had a better opportunity to be on the paper staff than 'other pupils. The study of journalism is especially valuable as training in English, and it gives one the elementary knowledge of journalistic writing. The school paper, King Hi-Ways, is printed bi-monthly. This year we printed six- teen issues, the largest number before published. The articles were written by class members, corrected by Miss Fox, typed by the typing students, linotyped at the Rustlel print shop, proof read by the class, and then printed here in our own print shop. The paper has been made more interesting by the use of special feature articles, various types of editorials, and interesting nonsense. Much of the success of our paper this year has been due to the work of the journalism class. Spanish The popularity of the Spanish Department in our school is well attested by the remarkably large enrollment in the department year after year. This year has wit- nessed by far the largest enrollment in the history of the school. There have helen two splendid sized beginners' classes, a very large second year class, and a third year group of more than the usual numbers. Inasmuch as only three years of Spanish are given, it is the policy of the depart- ment to haw: a definite objective in its work for each year. The first year classes aim primarily at securing a good foundation in grammar, pronunciation, reading, writing, and simple conversation. The second year group takes as its theme for the year a study of Spain. All. reading conversation and grammatical work has for its basis material dealing witlh Spanish life, customs, history, and in fact everything tending to present Spanish culture to the student. The advanced students take as their year's motif a study of Spanish America. All their reading, conversation and grammatical study has to do with South American, Central American, and Mexican culture. Some phases of the history of these coun- tries is read as well as material from the press there tending to present the Latin American point of view, its ideals, customs, life, in fact all phases that will make for greater understanding on the part of our students of those great neighbors to the south of us. With 70,000,000 people in Mexico and South America and 20,000,000 more in Spain, all speaking the Spanish language, and potential custgomers of America, stu- dents more and more are realizing the necessity of a knowledge of their language and customs. f l i Commercial Our commercial department offers three very practical and useful subjects typ- ing, shorthand, and bookkeeping. All three subjects are necessary parts of the busi- ness world today. A great many students do not realize the value of taking these sub- jects while they are in high school, but wait until they graduate and attend a business college. E There are ninety students now enrolled in this department. This large number shows that the department is steadily growing larger and is preparing more students for the business world. The equipment consists of seventeen typewriters, a mimep- graph, and adding machine and a multigraph. K. C. Hi has been well represented in all annual shorthand and tying contests. In 1928 Marie Chiocca won the shorthand cup for speed and accuracy with ninety-nine percent accuracy. Emmy Lou Rood won the cup the following year with only five errors. Iona Lang placed third with eight errors. Last year we did not place, but as we had won the cup twice in succession it was decided that we should be given permanent possession of -it. Miss Knapp anticipates winning another cup this year. Jewel Lynn took third place in the amateur speed group in the typing contest held at Salinas this year. Many of our graduates who have taken commercial work are employed in local business offices. They are: Joy Mansfield, Irene Eade, and James Wasson, Bank of Italyg Mrs. Belle Hughes and Elma Chambers, H-A-F Companyg Ada Chambers, Burns, Byers and Brunettig Lucy Mahler, El Camino Garageg Judith Mozzini, Tynan Lumber Companyg Louie Wasson, P. G. Kz E.g Marie Madsen, Mercantile Company, Beryl Mor- gan, Shell Oil Companyg Marie Lacabere, Nellie Carlson, and Phyllis Gleason, Post Office. Under the competent supervision of Miss Bertha Knapp, instructor, the commer- cial department has completed another successful year. Mechanical Drawing Mechanical drawing is a very practical subject and the opportunity to take the course shoiild be given to every .school student who has the ability to draw. The boy who intends making farming or carpentry his lifework will find a knowledge of draft- ing very useful in planning buildings and in reading blue prints. The course, as given in K. C. Hi, includes practice in letterng-, mainly slalnt gothic and architectural drawing. This leads to the construction of geometrical figures. The first year is given to isometric drawing and orthographic projection, and the second year to instructions in drawing plans for simple houses. The class, this year, made visits to houses under construction to notice the ar- rangement of the rooms, the windows, and doors. Blue prints were made for two which were built in town, a garage, and Mr. F. M. Williams' candy wagon. All these drawings were planned by George Anderson. - It would be a great handicap to be without a knowledge of drawing, as it is a language in itself. Every new invention which takes place in the brain of man must be expressed in drawing befbre it can become a reality. The great steam engines, air- planes, modern ocean liners, and comfortable stages all had their beginnings on paper and in the minds of draftsmen before being built. So it is with the houses we live in, the ears we ride in, the radio we enjoy, and many other conveniences of modern civilization. Science The science department of our school offers courses which are very interesting as well as practical. For the first time in the history of the school the science depart- ment course this year offered all four years' work. Biology, Physics and Chemistry are under the direction of Mr. R. E. Warner and General Science under Miss Carol Bunte. Physics and Chemistry have been placed on college preparatory bases, and although the number enrolled was smaller than usual, a better quality of work has been prgo- duced than ever before. . Many additions to the science library make reference work easier. New apparatus for Biology and Physics has brought the department equipment much above the average. Several new cupboards have been added to the laboratory. These give more storing room, and make it possible for apparatus to be kept in order. About sixty specimens of mounted animals have been obtained for the science museum. Part of the Biology course this year has been in form of projects rather than study from the text book. This method has proven very successful and interesting. It is an easier and more practical way of learning about the common plants and animals. It is planned to make the Biology course a complete project course next year. The Biology garden has helped those who work in it gain information about plant and animal life, and 'it has also been a valuable asset to our school. Five dollars a month has been received by the Biology class for the care of the Legion grounds. This money has pur- chased some of the many specimens needed in the Biology projects. A kit system has been adopted in the Chemistry class whereby every student has a complete outfit always at hand with all necessary chemicals for every experi- ment. The convenience of this has increased the student efficiency in class so that more than twice the usual number of experiments hads been performed. The science department has made wonderful progress, and it is a department of which the school may well be proud. ' Mother a in We can have only one Mother, Patient, kind and trueg No other friend in all this world, Will be so true to you. For all her loving kindness, She asks nothing in returng To mother you can always turn. Many tears you've caused her, When you were sad and ill, Maybe many sleepless nights, Though grown, you cause her still. So every time you leave her, Or when you even come or go, Give her a kind word and a kiss, 'Tis what she craves, I know. We can only have one mother, None else can take her placeg You can't tell how you'll need her, Until you miss her loving face. Be careful how you answer her, Choose' every wordyou say, Remember she is your mother, Though now she's old and gray. We can only have one mother, 0, take her to your heart: You cannot tell how soon the time, When you and she must part. Let her know you love her dearly, Cheer, and comfort her each day.

At last I, Francis Mc Connell, now take my pen and ink in hand to write and keep a diary. Being a Senior, I want to leave a record of my successful high school career, so that after I become famous, people will know my early accomplishments. Today was the first day of the last year of school for me. The faculty was all there, looking for all the world as if they were ready for business, and plenty of it, too. I know that I will have to study hard, in fact, until two or three o'clock in the morning. But in spite of it all I should enjoy myself thoroughly. Was ten minutes late today. September 11. We were given our first assignments today. In American History I had from the causes of the Revolutionary War down to John Brown's body lies a moaning in the grave, and a current event. In Geometry I must wo1'k the first ten propositions: in Journalism a five hundred word fea- ture story, Why I Spent My Vacation in the Fiji Islands. In bookkeeping, oh, boy, I was to begin at the first ex- ercise in the book and do as many as I could find time for, but not less than ten. Last, but not least, I was expected to spend a few hours practicing on my saxaphone. So I am looking forward to a very quiet evening. September 13. Last night there was a great show at the Reel Joy Theatre, the biggest and best theatre in town. The Sheik of Lockwood was playing and, as usual, I had to go. It was about some crook who was arrested for a grand theft. The handsome lawyer got the case, and the crook got the works. I crawled in the window at ten, so I didn't get a chance to even glance at my books. I'll do as much as I can first per- iod and get the rest on the run between classes. September 21. A whole week has pas- sed since I last opened my diary. Every minute of my time has been filled to the brim but it has by no means been spent at home studying, rather it has been spent far from home. I hear a big noise outside now, so must stop and see what it's all about. October 14. I have been having such a glorious time. Last Tuesday I went to the show Dream Girl at Sali- nas and it sure was some keen show. Friday night was the annual reception for the Ignorant Seekers of Knowledge in other words the Freshman Class. Have been running around so much I bet I've lost at least 20 pounds. October 20. I am reading a wonderful book Treat 'Em Rough, I have a Geom- etry examination in the morning so must put the book away and cram! Was late this morning. December 26. Well, yesterday was Clu'istmas and what a good time I had of it. I stuffed myself so full of turkey and cranberry jelly that my shirt split down the back. My presents ranged all the way from pink socks to purple and green neckties. I'll wear them all some day and see if I look natural. Jan. 1. Today being New Year's Day I decided to make a few much needed resolutions. They are too numerous to mention and probably won't last long anyhow, so there's no need of writing them down here. January 14. Down with the mumps. Am having a swell time. My whole face and jaws are swelled. Here's hop- ing I bring the ole weight up from the usual 225 to 251 lbs., while I'm here in bed and trying to eat. February 27. Everyone is getting sick around here. I'm scared to poke my head out of the window for fear I'll con- tract measles, flu, scarlet fever, or diph- theria. Even one of the teachers is in JOKES DIARY OF A SENIOR bed. She is just at death's door and the doctor thinks he can pull her through. June 12. I forgot all about my diary until I happened to find it under a pile of clothes in my bureau drawer. Tomor- row I graduate and then I'll be through with books and high school forever. When I think of leaving good old K. C. Hi I feel so happy and I feel so sad. I'm so sad that the tears are already start- ing to run down my cheeks, so I'll have to put you away until they stop. Though it is not generally known, snails never use asbestos brake linings.

Keep on the path e'en though you fail, Always be honest, loyal, and true, Never falter along life's trail, Then life will not be sad and blue. So' farewell friends and' dear schoolmates, We bid you fond adieu, And wish you happiness and luck At everything you try to do. - -Dorothy Smith
