has its initiation social. A new girls, horseback riding club, the 'iEquestriennes.,' has been or- ganized under the sponsorship of Miss Mildred Gerer. The Alpha Club meets to elect ten new 10B members. John Joe Ricards is elected president of the 12B class. with Jean Tapie as vice-presi- dent, Patsy Bass, secretary, and Edward Mirat- ti, treasurer. A short time later. the 12A class elects Wlalter Waugh president, Dorothy Pea- cock, vice-president, Lois Cobb, secretaryg and Harry Ludlow, treasurer. The successful start made by our football team is carried on in the lO-O victory over Ventura. The next Saturday brings a O-O tie with Pasadena, followed by a 28-7 victory over Inglewood. Next on the list we find the Santa Maria game, preceded by Olive and Gold Day, Oc- tober 23. Today. a large percentage of the student body is decked out in school colors in every imaginable combination. A number of gadgets are sold by the G.A.A., notably felt and satin beanies. large and small pompoms, corsages. large and small penants, and S.B.H.S. felt letters. The events of the day start in the stadium with a rally and miniature parade sponsored by all the roll-calls and organizations. The big afternoon parade of floats and cars seems un- usually large as it goes down State Street and back up again. Following this parade is another rally in the auditorium where the prizes are awarded for the best floats and costumes. And the day winds up with a dance in the gym, at which time the i'Big Apple is introduced. To justify all the work and enthusiasm of Olive and Gold Day, the Golden Tornado brings a 28-O victory home from Santa Maria. For the last game of the month, the Dons travel to Phoenix for one of the hardest games of the season. but come home with a victory of l3-0. which earns them the right to enter the C.I.F. play-offs. This is the tenth successive year the Olive and Gold of Santa Barbara will be represented in the colorful California Inter- scholastic Federation championships. In the meantime. the sophomore football team, coached by Skip Winans, seems to be having its downs', as well as its upS.', In its first game of the season, Carpinteria proves considerably too strong, defeating the Donlets Taj? left: fohmzif' Costas if to a 707l1f7 avomtd right end in the first Ventura game.

When the bell rings, the list of offences is still so long that it is necessary to plan a special meeting. In the work of the classes themselves, many significant changes are taking place. Mr. Peter Reidel's Landscape Architecture class has been given the care of the fifteen-acre Fran- chesi Park by the Park Board, which could not afford its upkeep. Classes are held in the old Fenzi home. In caring for the grounds, the students learn seeding, planting, budding, and pest control, the common and scientific names of plants, and the care of all garden tools. The purpose of the class is to train students by prac- tical experience to become efficient gardening foremen for job gardening and all other types of work in this field. This course is offered in no other high school in the United States. Mr. Earl Murray is experimenting with his period II trig class, using field trips instead of books, and giving gradeless examinations. Candid-man' Harry Stock. Mr. Roscoe Lyans has a special period photography class, the purpose of which is to teach some of the more technical angles of photography. It is one of the most popular special period groups. Several new joint courses are being offered this year. Miss Jeanette Ellison is teaching a two period class combining tenth grade history and tenth grade English. Mrs. Ethel Myers and Mrs. Mildred Weissend are teaching eleventh grade history, llB English, and American literature. Each teachs the same group of stu- dents one period, keeping the subject matter articulated. Mr. Howard Walters is teaching a two-period class combining eleventh grade history, 11B English, and civics. Miss Ethel Moss is teaching a single period class in Ameri- can Citizenship. Mr. Earl Murray, curriculum director for the school, is teaching a non-math major geometry class, in which he is attempt- ing to show how the principles of geometry may be applied to life situations. Mr. Charles Rhoades is teaching a two-hour course in out- door projects which includes gardening and general shop work. Friday the eighth we find we have as guests on the R.O.T.C. field, the General Mo- tors Parade of Progress caravan, consisting of twenty-four trucks, nineteen passenger cars, and sixty-two men-plus families. All students are dismissed fourth period to go down and see eggs fried on a cold stove and other wonders in the Circus of Science, and inspect the side- shows. Most notable among October assemblies is the Scholarship Society's television assembly on the eighth, presenting Mr. Hoskins and his equipment. We find most of the clubs getting under way this month. Quill and Scroll announces tryouts for membership, offered for the first time. The Press Club has election of ofiicers with Marna Warren as the new president, and initiates its new members.

Their luck continues October 15 and Ventura is defeated 6-0. But in meeting Carpinteria again they are defeated 19-6-but that shows improvement, at any rate. For the first time in the year-long history of fencing in S. B. High, fencers from the R.O.T.C. battalion are entering an out-of-town tournament. Ten boys in the fencing team go to the Prep Foil Bouts in Hollywood, October 15. Again, on the twenty-second, four cadets go to Hollywood to participate in the Prep Epee Bouts. Honorary First Lieutenant Jack Murphy is the only one to reach the semi-Hnals. Turning to tennis, the Santa Barbara High School Tennis Varsity, with a select group of six girls and six boys, defeats Taft Saturday, October 3-fifteen matches to none. The News-Press and City Recreation De- partment Hnish off the month with a bang, by putting on a major Halloween party in the stadium, Saturday night, October 30, keeping 3500 kids occupied, entertained, and out of the streets. Games and contests with prizes spon- sored by various clubs include pie-eating, cos- tume contests, pillow-fights, greased pole shin- nying, pushball, tug-of-war, apple-bobbing, and obstacle races. And Reel II closes on October as the crowd of weary youngsters gradually dwindles. VARSITY FENCING TEAM Bottom row: Captain Carpenter. Rhodes, Ashworth. Firestone, Fraser, Thornsberry.
