Qalifornia Number The Spanish days in California were happy days. Want was unknown, and the greed of gold was 'wholly absent! They lived and lo'ved,' they danced and sang, they reveled in frequent festivals, they were content. Monterey was the hrst white settlement on the Pacihc Coast within what is now U. S. territory. In 1846 the first Californiau newspaper was published here, the first brick house, the first frame house in California. The drama of California history has run through three centuries, Spanish days, Mexican rule, and the transformation into an American. state. Monterey has been the all important city. It is richer in historical significance than any other city in California. For that reason many of our illustrations are of places in Monterey.

N THIS ISSUE, we are paying tribute throughout our magazine, to the California pioneers, Span- ish and American, whose courage and ideals have made California of today possible ,' so it is most fitting that our book be dedicated to another pioneer --a pioneer in the Richmond school system - one whose ideals and interest have meant so much to the Richmond schools. Therefore, we affection- ately dedicate this December issue of our Winged R to our own Miss Nora Ashfield, Assistant Superintendent of Schools.
