IOIHOLIVEANDGOLDIE needs. Through rain and sunshine, up-hill and down, through joy and sorrow, you have stood by. Never flinching, never refusing to help where-and when you could, you have been a faithful guide and friend, patient and forebearing in all our mis- takes and short-comings. In you we feel that we have found: A friend in need. and a friend indeed ! CLASSES CALLED BY NUMERALS The new system of a single graduation for the year throws our classes into years rather than half-years for classification in the OLIVE AND GOLD. No longer shall we style them Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniorsg but the Class of 1920, '21, '22, '23. In our annual it is not practical to include more than four classes, so the class entering this semester will be omitted in this issue, but' it will be the upper sec- tion of '24 in the next issue-upper in all that the word connotes. We hope you will understand the situation, Class of '24, and will live up to our expectations of you. SCHOLARSHIP HONORS To encourage scholarship, Principal Martin presented to the school a hand- some pennant, wrought out by Miss Hastings and Miss Hennes in a design in purple and gold, symbolical of Learning. This banner goes to the class holding the high- est average of scholarship at the end of each quarter, and is held by that class throughout the incoming quarter. An appreciable pride in scholarship has resulted. Classes holding the pennant thus far are: 1920, Midyear-End of lst quarter. 1920, June-End of 2nd quarter. 1920, June-End of 3rd quarter. Not so bad for 1920! OUR MOTTO AMENDED Good Scholarship-A Square Deal-Good Fellowship. When Mr. Martin came among us and heard for the first time our school song, By the Old Franciscan Mission, he praised the song highly, saying that it had a literary quality rarely found in school or college songs. He had just inaugurated the new system of Scholarship Honors and said that he would like the motto now to read: Good Scholarship-A Square Deal-Good Fellowship, for good fellow- ship was the thing that had struck him most forcibly about the school when he first came to Santa Barbara. The school adopted the motto unanimously, and The Forge has since appeared with these splendid ideals emblazoned across its front page. Let us see that we live up to our standard! H. C. L. We do not believe in uniform dressing for High School but we do believe in simplicity. No longer are silk hose, modish dresses, crepe de chine waists, and six dollar neck ties in vogue. The students have voluntarily adopted the plan of taboo- ing all new clothes, and all unnecessary expenses. This is not a fadg it has lasted,

OLIVE AND GOLD H V and will last until the very last day of school-June 18. The girls have taken to gingham dresses and bungalow aprons, while the boys are dressed in- overalls and khaki. In harmony with this same ideal, graduation dresses of 1920 will be simple. All silks, crepe de chine, and georgettes are barredg also kid gloves. White slippers are made optional. Who says S. B. H. S. cannot beat old H. C. L.? HOUSING THE HIGH SCHOOL Is This a Square Deal? In 1916 the students of the Santa Barbara High School asked the city for a new high school, but the city felt that at that time conditions were too unsettledg that the United States might at any moment be plunged into war, and that, consequently, it would be very much better to wait for a while. So we waited. The United States was plunged into warg during the war, again and again, the city needed backing in various projects which she undertook for the aid of the nation. Invariably, she appealed to the high school for help. Invariably the high school came to her assistance. The city needed Red Cross workers, the high school en- rolled in the Junior Red Cross, 100 per cent strong. The city needed salvage col- lectors. On whom did she call? The high school. The city asked for volun- teers to collect clothes for Belgian orphans and others. Who volunteered? Th-2: high school. The city asked once, twice, three times, four times-yes, five times, for volunteers to work on the Liberty Loan Campaigns. To whom did she appeal? The high school. And so it was with Thrift Stamps. The city needed bands and orchestras to play, and glees to sing, and students to parade. And always and ever the students of the high school went gladly and loyally. Did they ever grumble and growl? Did they ever say NO ? Not once! In 1919 we again asked for a new school, but we were told that the grades needed housing worse than we, so we willingly gave up and waited that our little brothers and sisters might be served. What happened? The war had come and gone, but the city of Santa Barbara refused the call of her children. The school bonds were defeated! Those who had gone to school in the little red brick school house told us that we should be thankful for what wc had. So in 1919 we waited-and we are still waiting. OUR DREAM A Union High School, to include Montecito, Goleta, Hope, and Mission Carl- yon districts, a modern building on the group plang better equipmentg more specialized coursesg an enlarged facultyg and an athletic field of our own-all these we need and have needed long! Here's hoping our dream will not forever remain a dream, but may sometime come true! CONTRIBUTORS Without the help and backing of the students of the high school it would be impossible to publish the OLIVE AND GOLD. The students furnish the material for the magazine, and we take this opportunity of expressing to all contributors our sincere thanks. The wealth of material handed
