Nine months of school activities at the South Pasadena Senior High School have seen several new plans inaugurated. The newest 0 f them — the 1940 Copa de Oro — is presented in the following pages. Formerly yearbooks have always had set stand- ards to follow year in and year out, but the 1940 Copa de Oro staff has attempted to present a new idea in high school annuals. This new idea makes a story book of the annual, and in doing so, intro- duces two characters who play the leading roles In this drama of school life. They are two typical students shown in their years of high school life — entering as freshmen, meeting their classmates, and experiencing all the other events that high school life offers. The staff hope that in presenting the 1940 Copa de Oro their readers will feel that there has beer FOREWORD presented not only an accurate and truthful picture in all its phases, but that it has also caught and preserved for years to come many fond memories of the school days of 1939-1940

C W APeJ Q oL As the Image of the tower of the junior high school dims in their memories, the new students of each incoming class, with our typical boy and girl in the lead, ad- vance along the pathway of their educa- tion to the Senior High School of South Pasadena. The first glimpse of their new school home is given to them as they walk up the broad expanse of walk, surrounded by ver- dant green grass, and see the main build- ing of SPHS in its setting of tall palms flanked by modernistic structures, making it an inspiration to the student to do his best work for his alma mater. In April of 1907 this edifice, built for the furtherance of public education, was finished and occupied by the first SPHS student body under the guidance of a faculty of five members. Throughout the years the building has stood staunch, brav- ing change, storm, and stress. Filled today with many new faces, and surrounded by new structures, it stands as a monument to the desires of the thoughtful citizens of South Pasadena and San Marino.
