For the first time in the history of the Santa Barbara High School, Class Day is to be held on the Friday after Commencement. The whole program is symbolic of the harmony existing between school and student, teacher and student, and student with student. In carrying out this idea, the co-operation of the faculty and diierent classes has been obtained. The Seniors, after a due farewell from the steps of the High School, will pass, guided by the faculty, through the ranks of the Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors, into the full tide of life for which our High School has so carefully prepared them.

COMMENCEMENT ODE. When travellers, journeying thro' a land unknown, Look up and sight afar a rock-lined chain Of crests that sharply out the horizon-gloam In distance, they press on to leave the plain, With eager hearts to gain the misty heights That soar aloft in beauty, cloud enveiled, On whose sharp, adamantine peaks, the rays Of luminous sunlight, quivering, are impaled. Eager, the pilgrims leave the flowery ways, And soon grow pale the lowland mirage-lights. The first spur gained, and now the mantling steeps Begin, that lead to highest mountain sweeps. We all are travellers in the bourneless land Of time. We glimpse, a moment, the Great Divide. To some is given to see the glow at hand- The Truth-that cloud-mists from the others hide. But if-as great white birds from crests that dart- Such vision hath illumined the traveller 's way, There i no turning back, no standing till, It leaves the yearning soul-reach in the heart, It bids us never rest, nor brook delay, But ever dare the event, the perils ill,- Push on, undaunted, till we face the gleam Where merge the world of Is and world of Seem. To-day we gain a foot-hill on the trail That upward leads, the landscape broadens out, We leave behind, below, the easeful vale, The distance-dwarfed fields that lie about. We stand at the Divide. God grant, that now It may be given that we, too, see the gleam That points the way-the individual goal. No time to fold the hands and wonder how, For lo! To-day is here, our little dole Of time, key-stone with which we, building, beam Fate 's arch, for Yesterday is gone-a dream, To-morrow, uncertain, a vision yet unseen. Josephine Mxorg an, '13
