Always helpful and kind, our teachers take a personal interest in everything we do. In leaving, '24 wishes to express her appreciation for the hours they have spent to make us better and happier men and women. DADDY To every class that graduates from high school, some one teacher is especially theirs. Some one friend is foremost in guiding them through these four years, just at the brink that marks the end of boy and girlhood. 'Daddy Robertson, our first roll call teacher, has been to 1924 advisor, helper, and friend, a guiding light. The first to instill in our hearts true fighting spirit and class loyalty, we owe to him whatever success we may, as a group, have attained. Always, in his kind, thoughtful, farsighted way, he has led us right. To our Freshman and Sophomore teacher, his last roll call class tenders its loving appreciation for the start in the world he has given us. May the light of his life be reflected in ours in the accomplishment of greater and better things. MR. BARRY Mr. Barry, who was granted leave of absence last year, will not be back again at the opening of the fall term. He has accepted a position as instructor in English at the San Jose junior College. We congratulate Mr. Barry on this promotion, but it is with great regret that we see him leave Santa Barbara High School. He was a popular and much-liked teacher, and his loss will be greatly felt next year. OUR NEW TEACHERS We welcomed five new teachers to our faculty this year-Miss Benson, physi- cal education departmentg Mrs, Kellem, English departmentg Miss Slaughter, language department: Mr. Walters, science department, and Mr. Pattison, commercial depart- ment. They have entered into all of our activities with zest and enthusiasm and have been an inspiration and help to the students throughout the past year. From the first they have fitted into every situation and have met every demand with unfailing patience and sympathy. OUR HELPERS To our helpers, who have willingly lent a hand when unforeseen work has piled too high, the Olive and Gold is everlastingly indebted. Barbara Arata, Mae Douglas, Russell Bennett, and Harold Clodfelter have been of great assistance in typing and other work. We take this occasion to thank them for their services. 1 1 IIlllllIIIIIIlllllllllllIIIIllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIllllIllIIllIIIIIllIKIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIlllIIIIIIIlllllIIIllllllllIIllllIllIllllIIllllIIIlllllllllllllIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIMII

IIIIIIIllIIIllllllIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIKIIHIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIllllllIIIIIlllllllllIIIIIllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIKIIIIIIIIllllll To Anne Hartwell, our first girl president, the administration of 1923-1924 is deeply indebted. Her unceasing efforts to make our year a success have been felt in every line of work. i SCHOOL SPIRIT From the unamalgamated group of students it was when school opened in the fall, the Student-Body has become in the past year a spirited, lively unit. With the election of a yell leader who was himself a loyal supporter of Student Body activities, willing to exert himself to the utmost to make Santa Barbara High School what it should be, things started for fair. The climax of our enthusiasm in school activities came at the Santa Maria football game in Santa Maria, when more than one hundred rooters, accompanied by the school band, backed up the team. From that time to this, school spirit has been maintained at its highest pitch. Carl Ruthrauff, by his work, has won the appreciation of every loyal member of the school. THE LUNCH STAND One of the greatest financial investments the Student-Body has ever made is the lunch stand. Originated only last year, the stand has put the treasury in a position it has never before been able to maintain. because of the thriving business the stand is doing the Student-Body itself is able to help furnish the Student-Body office in the new high school, besides leaving a good balance in the treasury for next year. The lunch stand is not merely a place where a good, well-cooked, hot meal may be ob- tained, but it is an economy to everyone. SCHOLARSHIP Our scholarship is also steadily rising. Hardly a quarter passes that a rise, rather than a fall, is not seen. Steadily, the rivalry between classes is growing stronger. The Senior class, at the end of the first semester, won the banner with an average of nearly six points, higher than any ever before attained. Our scholarship society is be- coming a living organization. Gordon Monfort, the president, was elected treas- urer of the entire Southern Californa Federation, and the society itself has put on two very successful entertainments. THE FORGE The Forge is becoming an ever increasing credit to the school. It ranks high among the papers of the state, and its arrival on Fridays is a very much looked-for- ward-to event. Virgil Durlin, the editor, has put all of himself into making the Forge a first rate paper. As a consequence, it won first place in Section A among all the school papers of Southern California: and in a state-wide editorial contest, one of Virgil's editorials took second place. A small publication at first, The Forge has, in the past years, become a glowing credit to our school. 1 O llIIIIIIlllllIIIIIIllllIIIIUIIIllllIIIIIllIlllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllIIIIllIUIIIIIIIlllllllllIIIIIIIIIIllllIIIIIlllllllIlllllllllllilIllllllllllllllllllll

IJENVOI Hard work, together with everlasting lighting spirit, has made the class of 1924 successful in everything it has undertaken. The law of worthy lite is funda- mentally the law of strife, said Theodore Roosevelti and to the outgoing Seniors this has certainly proved true. lt is because we have worked and labored here in this school, because here we have reaped the reward that comes through diligent toil and effort, that we long, now, not to say goodbye. Nothing can endear an institution as much as the fact that in it one has passed through joy and sorrow, worked and played. One thing alone counteracts our regret at graduation. The light that shines ahead-the new start before us in the future-makes our departure bright. Goodbye, old schoolg we have loved the daily round within your walls. And now we enter into that greater battle in the world outside, to continue to strive and labor till the fight is done. To you, 1925, we leave our school, our book, our Senior Play, and all that now passes from us forever. May they be to you all that they have been to us. May you find in them inspiration and learning: and may you continue the 'strife for your school where we have set it down.
