!fe!!0,WfflfMW1f.f What's his name? .... Where's he from P . . . . What's this new principal like? Such were the rumors, whispered and shouted, that heralded the arrival of Mr. Lloyd K. Wood. Students who generally avoid the bench, invented ex- cuses in order to visit the principal's office, so that they would be the first to view the mystery-man. The combined efforts of the weekly Santa Rosan and a general assembly finally succeeded in satisfying the curious, and at last we all could say we had seen Mr. Wood. And what's more, he measured up to all favorable expectations, and left no room for unfavorable ones. Next, the students were bombarded with questions from curious outsiders who inquired, Do you like your new principal ? Naturally, We replied in the affirmative. Mr. Wood has already proved himself very capable in handling the wise guys as well as the smilin' dames. So more power to you, Mr. Lloyd K. Wood!

QOOJA e, Mft. jlffleff Ever since we were freshmen, we were accustomed to see Mr. Walter Patchett at the assemblies, in the halls, in the office, and visiting the classes in his capacity as principal of Santa Rosa High. We knew that we could depend on him to straighten out our problems and listen to our ideas on how we thought this school ought to be run. As is usually the case, we took him more or less for granted, and it was only when we heard that he was leaving that most of us remembered all Mr. Patchett had done for us in building up our school. Both the faculty and students were crowding for places in the lines of farewellers to wish him continued success and happiness, for we all recognized the loss of an inspiring leader. Thank you, Mr. Patchett, for your many years of service to our School! Ds L 1

The interests of Santa Rosa High School are their interests. At every game or track meet we see them rooting for Santa Rosag at every dance or social they are there as chaperons, happy to look on at the good times we are havingg at all the plays and operettas and like events they are seated in the auditorium among parents and friends, and it would be hard to say who is the prouder of our successes-our fathers and mothers or they. For years Mr. James Burke has been president of the board, and under his guidance Santa Rosa has become the admiration of school systems throughout the state. What major assembly would be complete without the oratory of Dr. Jerome O. Cross, who is so intensely interested in the welfare of our school that he is almost Santa Rosa personified? Nor are the other members less interested. You know their merits too well for further eulogy. We salute you, Board of Education of Santa Rosa! Top Row - Mr. James Burke, Pres., Dr. Jerome O. Cross, City Supr., Mr. Roe Bar- rert. Bottom Row - Mr. Archie Lockhart, Mr. George Proctor, Mrs. Obert Pederson, Sect'y, Mrs. Carl R. Lehman, Sect'y.
