.. ' ' Ci- Vice-Principal Mr. John Nordenson Ass ' t. Principal Nordenson To Ply Long Experience At New Dos Pueblos High I really hate to leave Santa Barbara (High ); I ' ve been here so long, and it ' s my school. These were the words spoken by Mr. Nordenson as he reflected on twenty-six years of service to Santa Barbara High School. In those twenty-six years Mr. Nordenson has dedicated himself to the generation of school spirit among the students and to the school ' s recognition and respect in the com- munity. He began his career in September, 1940, as a busi- ness education teacher. With the exception of a brief mili- tary interruption and a year as purchasing agent for the city schools, he has worked at SBHS as teacher and adminis- trator. Mr. Nordenson said that he has enjoyed his work as assistant principal for student activities, an assignment dele- gated to him in 1955, Much work and satisfaction have paralleled advising and assisting Student Legislature, Stu- dent Court, Key Club, ASL, Campus Committee and various other student clubs and committees. Handling the master schedule for all SBHS activities, assembly seating and the doily bulletins were also among his duties. A major re- sponsibility involved boys ' discipline, which has required a tremendous amount of patience, understanding and mental energy. Mr. Nordenson ' s future symbolizes his spirit of assis- tance and dedication to youth. He will be in charge of student activities at Dos Pueblos High Scsool, a district school to be located near Ellwood. I ' d like to help get the new school organized in student activities; I think my ex- perience would help to get them off to a good start, ex- plained Mr. Nordenson. He also hopes to develop a cooperative spirit between Dos Pueblos and other high schools. Being proud to be connected with Santa Barbara High and respecting its leaderssip, Mr. Nordenson is especially proud of the national recognition SBHS is receiving through Books, Inc. What Mr. Nordenson has strived for in our school is coming to life for others to see. Mr. Nordenson leaves his mark on the spirit of unity and pride that he has boosted. Students at large will miss his understanding guidance and pro-youth spirit. The Stu- dent Body — past and present — extends appreciation for that service. The Sheriii John Award was presented to Mr. Nordenson by the 1964-65 Key Club. 16

Active Legislature Generates Individual Response Student Legislature this year was the primary part of student self-govern- ment During Legislative sessions, which were called tice a month by Mr. Nord- enson, faculty adviser, representatives kept busy passing bills and discussing issues directly pertaining to the Student Body. Under the competent leadership of Vice-President Dave Riemenschneider, students discussed such new ideas as the possibilities of a legistoure-sponsored Spring Carnival and the benefits of a new representation system for the legislature (the present one includes seniors from English classes and sophomores and juniors from History classes). Regular parliamentary procedure was practiced so that the students could learn the pro- cedure used by U.S. law making bodies to reach their decisions. As the backbone of organized student activities, Student Legislature also or- ganized the various ASB committees. Those hard-working committees kindled lots of spirit on campus throughout the year. The creativity of many of the legis- lature officers resulted in an active legislature and increased communication be- tween the individual and his student leaders. 18
