sy ' PROFESSOR DODGE. With surprise and great regret we learned that Mr. Dodge is to give up his teaching work. The Class of Ninteen Fourteen consider themselves highly privileged to be able to dedicate to this fine scholar and kindly gentleman, this Commencement issue of the Olive and Gold. Our school has, indeed, been fortunate in having such an exceptional man on its faculty for so many years. Mr. Dodge was graduated from Harvard University, taking an A. B. degree in 1869 and an A. M. in 1872. He has at different periods studied abroad at the Universities of Berlin, Leipsig, and Heidelberg, where he took a Ph.D. in 1878. He has done much research work and is frequently called upon by people from all parts of the world for expert opinions in Chemistry. For twenty years, he has taught science in the Santa Barbara High Schoolg and his uncompromis- ing standards and earnest devotion to his work have been to its students a standing inspiration. Be sure, Mr. Dodge, that we shall miss your presence among us, and that with you go our best wishes for happy, peaceful days. 'WELCOME MR. HOLLINGSHEAD. The Olive and Gold takes pleasure in welcoming our new Principal, Mr. Hollingshead. The welcome, though, perforce, it comes tardily, is none the less sincere. Mr. Hollingshead is a graduate of the Colorado Teachers' College where he took a Ped. B. degree in 1896. He has been a student in Denver University and the University of California where he received his A. B. Mr. Hollingshead came to us with the recommendation of all-round school-man and mighty good fellow from Dr. Snyderg but we are ready now to add to this, Hthe kindest and most sympathetic man. We like you, Mr. Hollings- head, and we hope that you like us! Moreover, we have a suspicion that you do.

8 OLIVE AND GOLD OUR NEW SUPERINTENDENT. It is ever the way with life-another's gain is our loss. On the resignation of Dr. Snyder to take his place on the new State Board of Education, our local board snatched Principal Olney away from us bodily. We say Ubodilyn for we know that he is with us still in spirit, and we are proud to have it so! It has seldom been our good fortune to have come in close touch with a man of such fineness of feeling and such rectitude of life. The influence of Mr. Olney's personality will not pass with this passing of his ofiicial connection with our school. I MR. BROWN 'S DEPARTURE. It is with the deepest regret that we say farewell to Mr. Brown. He went away from us once before and came back. Maybe he will again. Here 's hoping! Mr. Brown 's departure is a loss not only to the school in general, for he has ever advanced the highest interests of the school, but his loss will be felt most keenly in the field of athletics, where he has labored so valiantly for clean man- hood and true sportsmanship. His wholesome influence will long be felt in the policies of our school. Mr. Brown goes to the University of California to work for his Doctor's degree. He has been appointed by Professor Morse Stevens as Assistant in the Department of History. This is a signal honor. We wish you success, Mr. Brown, you and your good lady! MISS BECKINGSALE GOES TO EUROPE. Miss Beckingsale with her mother sails for Europe soon after school closes. She will be gone until the opening of the Spring term next year. We wish her a pleasant trip, and a safe and quick return. MR. STEWART LEAVES. We are sorry to hear of the resignation of Mr. Stewart of the Manual Training department. Mr. Stewart has made many friends while here whose good wishes go with him to his new field. INNOVATIONS. Junior College. Santa Barbara is ever in the lead in new educational movements. We were the second city in the state to inaugurate the Junior College as a continua- tion of our High School, and now we have a two-years' college course, doing Work that was declared by the recent university visitor, Professor Thomas, as second to none in the state. Our students are received at the universities of the state with two years' advanced standing. Next year, we offer in addition to our regular academic subjects, Physical Culture, Hygiene, and College Shop Work. Reorganization of Student-Body. Student self-government, as established in our High School in 1908, has from the 'drst been a decided success, but this year great strides have been made. President Frank Heimlich has infused new life into the Student-Body. He has conducted all Student-Body affairs with dignity and firmness. He has insisted
