Always ready to help in any undertaking, she has given unstintedly of her time and energy in a way that counted beyond the moment, in a way that meant more than the mere accomplishment of the thing in hand. VVhen she could not help us directly, we have always found her ready with a-W word of counsel, a word that not only guided but that inspired us to do our best. Surely, in the years to come, we will not forget our Senior class teacher, but will come to realize more and more, as we meet life's problems how much she gave us in that happy, busy year when we were Seniors. IN APPRECIATION We are taking this opportunity to thank Richard Ferguson for his untiring work as josh editor. NVhen Max Janney went to his post of service, we fell upon Dick and loaded upon his broad shoulders the responsibility and work of one of the most difficult departments in our magazine. Dick proved his mettle, he is as good as gold and the editor will never forget it! H - TO OUR FACULTY. ' And now we turn to the faculty-our best and most tried friends. As we leave, all the splendid things that you have brought into our lives we remember. Perhaps the best return that we can make for what you have done for us is to pass these good things on to others as we may. To all of you we give great thanks, and especially to you our honored Principal, whose guiding hand and personal interest we have ever felt. TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. To you, the Board of Education, the Class of 1917, speaking for the whole student-body, desires to express its sincere appreciation of your action in regard to a new High School building. VVe are sure that the future will justify your wisdom. i Our Old Stand-by. The Colonel-His cheery morning greeting, his willingness to help, will be remembered by the graduates of this class long after they have passed into the larger life of the worldf, HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE. . To our ever-helpful Principal Mr. Hollingshead, Miss Overman, Miss Huse, Miss Southwick, Miss Dimmick, Everett Haslam, Edgar Lazier, Robert Foxen and Charles Wheeler, of the school, and also to Miss Barnett, we owe the deepest gratitude for the never-tiring assistance they have rendered in the publication of the Olive and Gold. - ' 14

All this in harmony with the idea of A SIMPLE GRADUATION. In keeping with the spirit of economy that has come with the war situation, the class of 1917 has pledged itself to a simple graduation-the elimination of all unnecessary expense in functions and in apparel. CHANGE OF SCHEDULE. To meet the demands of the overcrowded conditions, the school-day schedule has been changed again. The day now begins at 8:10 a. m. in the science de- partment and 8:30 a. m. in others, and closes for all but Junior College classes at 3:05 p. m. The periods are sixty minutes long, forty devoted to recitation and twenty to supervised study. The laboratory periods are eighty minutes long. Military and domestic science run over twenty minutes, respectively, at the be- ginning and end of the noon hour. An eiliciency program, all right! SUPERVISED STUDY. Our school, always in the vanguard, has adopted the plan of supervised study, in the twenty-minute periods mentioned above, and also in a special study-room provided for every period of the day. To this room students who have fallen below the grade of B in any subject are sent. The plan has worked well, the grade of scholarship having improved appreciably during its operation. RED CROSS IN S. B. H. S. The students of the high school have entered enthusiastically into the Red Cross work. Fifty-six girls and seven boys signed up for First Aid, thirty- three girls for Surgical Dressing, nine boys for Life Saving Corps under in- struction of Mr. Sheflield of the Bath House, and seventy boys and girls as Soldiers of the Commissary. This latter is under the direction of Mr. Bedford of the agriculture department. We are proud of this response from the ranks of our high school as we are proud of our boys who have enlisted. The work of organization was done by Miriam Doyle, assisted by Virginia Tinker and Attala Solari. The clerical work was under the direction of Eliza- beth Howard, Chantal Dane, and Louisa Ruiz, assisted by Cynthia Telford, Gratia More, Helen Brastow, Frances Ellsworth, Elaine Adrian, and Helen Harmer. AN APPRECIATION. A year ago, we became Seniors and took up the burdens and tasks that be- long to that position, and now, this magazine, our last labor, would not be com- plete without a word of appreciation for the guidance and help that Mrs. Byrd, 13

In working out our play El Capitan, we became so imbued with the spirit of Old California that we are not surprised to find our artist continuing that same motif throughout our magazine. It may not mean much to you, but to us the caballeros and gay senors have a special message. TO THE CLASS OF 1918. To you, Class of 1918, we say Adiosl For three good years we have journeyed together along the royal road to learning. Now we have come to the broad open field and our alma mater sends us forth upon the longer quest. To you we leave a sacred trust: the honor of the school. If we are to believe those who come to us from elsewhere, the place of Santa Barbara High School among the high schools of the state is unique--not in scholarship, although we claim some honors there, and not in athletics, although we have sent forth some world-record athletes, but in the high morale of our student-body. Our girls are known for their fine womanlinessg our boys, on field or platform, are always gentlemen. This, with the fine comradeship that exists between faculty and students, is the thing for which we are noted. We charge you, 1918, to be true to the traditions of our alma mater, to see that her standards are never lowered. And not the least of the privileges that we now turn over to you, is the editing of the OLxvE AND GOLD,u which crystallizes in its pages they best of student life. Remember, that since 1907, the motto of this magazine has been: Honor to Whom Honor is Due. And so with the dawn of the new day-your day-we whisper: Dios os bendigosf' Qflgfl l . mi I 6 A 9? lr 1 'lf l 6-wg A wb-J 15
