14 OLIVE AND GOLD Santa Barbara has good reason to congratulate herself on the progress made during the present year in extending the use of her public school property. AGRICULTURE. The Agricultural Department of our high school has been steadily grow- ing, and, if appearances are not deceptive, Santa Barbara will soon be well- stocked with scientific farmers. A three-year lease has been secured on two blocks of land on Islay street, between San Pasqual and San Andreas. This plot is now being energetically tilled by our farmers. It is a credit not only to our high school but likewise to our city. Here's luck to you, farmers! JUNIOR COLLEGE ORGANIZATION. Among the Junior colleges of the state established by the University of California, the Santa Barbara Junior College ranks first in high standard of instruction and also in scholarship. The college has its own student-body, faculty-council, and dean. Mr. Turner has bee-n appointed to this latter posi- tion by Principal Hollingshead through the authority of the Superintendent. Mr. Turner was chosen for this place because of especial fitness, and his intimate knowledge of the details of the course of study and of the procedure of the State University. This year the student-body of the Junior College had a membership of twenty-two regular students. Many Seniors and juniors are looking forward to two years of college work here, eager .to take advantage of the diverse courses of study now offered. The new courses in Mechanical Drawing and Physics enable the student intending to enter any college to make his first, and, in some cases, his second year of work here, at a greatly reduced expenditure of money. Already thirty-nine are enrolled for next year. W are proud of our Junior College! GENEROUS MUSICIANS. Greater demands are made by the public upon the musician than upon any other kind of artist to stand and deliver his art. At least, so it would appear in our high school community. Our busy principal has found time to meet with the Glee Club weekly, and to give to them out of the richness of his musical knowledge. Those who have availed themselves of this opportunity have felt it a rare privilege. Miss Overman has assisted in this work, and has also conducted the choral work in the assembly. Under her inspiration, many new school songs have been written and adopted by the student-body. In this matter of school songs and singing, Mr. Baldwin Quintero likewise deserves much praise. The orchestra, too, has given generously of its music, both as a whole and as individuals. Mr. Armstrong and his players have been on hand at plays, debates, rallies, dances, assemblies, and May Festivals. Jules Moullet and Arthur Hillman, Philip Deuel and Robert Foxen, have never failed to respond to the call of the student-body. HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.

OLIVE AND GOLD 13 Miss Davis is a graduate of the public schools of Baltimore, Maryland, and of Goucher College. For excellency of work in Goucher College, she was awarded the Goucher Fellowship in Johns Hopkins University. After a year of post-graduate work in the latter institution, she came to the University of Southern California, in which she qualified for the California High School Teachers' certificate. MISS DIMMICK TAKES LEAVE OF ABSENCE. Upon her request, the Board of Education granted a year's leave of absence to Miss Helen Dimmick, head of the Latin Department, to attend the University of California. Miss Dimmick graduated from the University of California in IQIO. Im- mediately following her graduation, she spent a year in post-graduate work 'to qualify for the teacher's certificateg upon obtaining this, she came to the Latin Department of the Santa Barbara High School. Throughout her four years she has proved highly capable and efficient, both as class and roll-call teacher. Her quiet earnestness, and kindliness of spirit have made her a power in the school, and won for her a host of friends among students, faculty, and parents. We regret to lose her even for a year. Miss Dimmick will complete her work for the master's degree in Latin, her minors will be English literature and advanced French. THE NEW LATIN TEACHER. Miss Jessie Deuel, a graduate of the University of California, Class 1907, formerly head of the Latin Department in Fresno High School, and at present in the Santa Clara public schools, has been appointed to the position made vacant by the leave of absence granted to Miss Dimmick. Miss Deuel was selected from a number of candidates because of special fitness, scholarship, and proved efficiency. USE OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PLANT. Throughout the United States there is persistent effort to put high school plants to wider usefulness than that of -.nere day instruction. The California Legislature and the legislatures of a number of the other states have enacted laws making it mandatory upon school boards to open, heat, and light public school buildings for civic and educational evening meetings. The only meet- ings proscribed are those of a partisan political and of sectarian religious nature. It may interest our readers to know the full schedule of evening meetings held in the Santa Barbara High School buildings. On Monday evenings the auditorium is used by the Political Study Club. On Thursday evenings the Socialist Club meets in the history room on the second floor of the main building. On Monday and Wednesday evenings the mechanical drawing- room and the domestic science kitchen of the Blake building are used for the Evening Continuation School. On Tuesday and Thursday evenings eight rooms in the main building are used for Evening Continuation instruction.
