TNtLo THE COPA DE ORO— A SCHOOL ANNUAL As far as possible the staff has tried to make this annual one that will be long treasured by the members of South Pasadena High School. It has been the object of the Editors to chronicle the interesting incidents and happenings of the year. It is truly a school annual, and we hope it will give the readers as much pleasure and satisfaction as has been ours hin compiling the book. Among those to whom we are very thankful for help are Mrs. Dolland and the commercial department whose typewriters banged unceasingly in helping us to have our Annual ready on time. The art department, as can readily be seen, has been most helpful in making our efforts a success. And now, to you, our readers, we present this book — the 1919 Copa De Oro. “SOLDIERS ALL” All of us have heard many times the sentiment expressed that to live for one’s country is as great, if not a greater service, than to die for it. What living for our country means this war has taught us to realize perhaps more fully than we have ever done before. It has not been alone the man upon the battle field fighting the enemy with his gun and bayonet, who has enabled the democracies of the world to free humanity from the terrible menace of Kaiserism. This war has, in fact, revealed many a soldier as true in the service of his country as these men are, but who does not serve in just the way in which these fighters have done. The service rendered by the Red Cross nurse to her country can not be estimated by any statement of the numbers of precious lives saved by her heroism and noble self sacrifice. The fighting man will never place the estimate of his own work above that of one of these Red Cross nurses, for he knows what it has meant to watch the brave fight made by a nurse to save the life of a soldier boy, wounded so badly as to be unable to hold on with his own hands. There is no hardship or danger too great for these brave women to face in order to serve their country as a soldier should and what sort of soldiers they have proved themselves to be, the world knows today too well to need the added words of another. 10
