In 1924, this was a daring innovation and the

work became, in the minds of the critics, the perfect portrayal of the new machine age. 'King David' was written two years prior to this, but attracted widespread attention after a 1924 performance.

The performance on November 7 utilizes the original large wind ensemble orchestration, with the 50 voice Choral conducted by Joe Stanford.

Buick restored by student Some 1,700 hours of labor went into a Buick Six, on display during registration. The work was done by the car's 82 year old owner, Omar Wilson of Vista. Wilson says he learned the techniques and procedures of restoring the car through automotive classes at Palomar. The car was originally a touring car, but someone had cut off the rear portion of it before letting it go to rust and near ruin. With the help of Willie Golden, Industrial Technology / instructor, Wilson made a speedster out of it. The car's price tag is somewhere between $5 and $~5,000.

All is resolved happily in the end, and we are told it is but the "fierce vexation of a dream" but is it?
