S AAA at- P as This is the second publication tempted by a Senior Class of the S. H. S. We hope that it will prove successful as its creditable rival pub- lished by the Class of ‘09. As a matter of fact, we may rightly consider our- selves very fortunate in having had pre- decessors in this enterprise, and by their success in management we have been given an auspicious opportunity to learn and to profit. The Copa de Oro is intended to review the important and interesting events of the school year, and is published by the Senior Class as a farewell token of our appreciation of the pleasant times and the instruction which we have enjoyed while toiling in “our” beautiful building. It has fallen to the lot of seven of the to issue this book, and we hope that we have succeeded in carrying out the duty entrusted to us by the Class class of 710. The publication of this Annual means much to us. To have in our possession this book, which chronicles so many of the events of our last year and which contains the pictures of our schoolmates and teachers, is to have a constant re- minder of the happiest period of our lives. It is the bond of union between the new life and the old. We also hope that the book will help to keep us in the remembrance of our schoolmates, and that they will receive much pleasure from reading its pages. We wish to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for all that the School Board has accomplished in their assistance toward making our surround- ings as beautiful as possible. We con- gratulate the Board upon recom- mendation of the courses manual training and domestic science. Although our class will not receive personal aid nor education in these new courses to be introduced the coming term, we are confident that this great step in public its in education will mean much to the school of the future. P For the success of the Copa de Oro of 1910 we wish to thank its many sup- porters. Last year the student body showed remarkable spirit in the support of its Annual and we are happy to say that this year the spirit is even better. We, therefore, wish to thank each mem- ber, and especially those who have worked hard on the literature and drawings. We wish to express our grati- tude to the teachers who were so helpful and willing to in the different departments. Our advertisers we espe- cially thank, for it their assistance which makes this Annual possible. Let every one of you remember them, pat- ronize them, and be sure to mention where you saw their advertisements. so assist 1S edition! Does that anything? We surely think will graduate in an uncommon year for celestial phenomena. Halley’s Comet is a source of great wonder, as it appears only once in seventy-six years; the Class of 1910 should be an extraordinary source of wonder, as it appears once in a life time. It must be true that we are an unusual class of unusual “class.” Comet suggest so. Our class Frequent comment: “Aren’t those Jawns beautiful?” This is a fact. The lawns in front of the High School have added fifty per cent to the beauty of the building. The School Board should be justly praised for improving the grounds, and we hope that their good work will continue. As a graduating class, we suggest a few improvements— a high fence at the sides and back of the grounds; the improvement of the field and track; more bleachers, and some good tennis courts. We think that

ClO;PEA improvement of the conditions for this last sport would greatly boom athletics. As dutiful Seniors, we feel it our obligation to mention to our fellow- students that some of the information contained in these pages has been placed there for their especial benefit. May they read and profit. 2 DE ORO In glancing over the records of the Athletic Department, one might think we did not gain many victories. This is so. However, we do not indulge in athletics solely for the purpose of win- ning. Athletics are maintained to give the student various forms of healthful out-door exercise. This we have ac- complished, along with a liberal “help- ing” of clean sport. = GA ENED AG Sept . 4—School opened. Sept. 4 5- Bought text books.
