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.

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.
