lln Hllemnriam With the passing of Frederick Forrest Peabody, the students and teachers of the Santa Barbara High School lose a benefactor and friend. . When the earthquake rocked the buildings of Santa Barbara, Mr. and Mrs. Peabody were departing for an European tour. Mr. Peabody's first inquiry was: To what extent are the school buildings damaged? After learning of the damage, he canceled his European trip, returned as speedily as possible to the city, and with his own funds started the work of reparation so that the schools could open on time in the fall. Tirelessly he worked during the year of restoration, not only for the schools but also for the 'entire city. Mr. Peabody was president of the board of edu- cation from 1922 to 1926. During this time the new high school plant was built. No man building his own home for his own comfort and for the happiness of his family and friends could have put more thought and care into the building than did Mr. Peabody into our high school. Believing in clean, out-of-door sports, Mr. Peabody at his own expense built our stadium and presented it to the boys and girls of the high school. Mr, Peabody took the military training of the lirst Reserve Officers Training Camp, held at Plattsburg, New York. He knew the value of military training, and through his influence an R. O. T. C. unit was established in our school. Our armory was fitted up and equipped at his expense. But we who knew Mr. Peabody remember him chiefly, not for his material gifts to our school, but for his sympathetic understanding of our work and his gen- uine friendship. He gave himself with his gifts. HOMER MARTIN. r l TVK . WJSAWM 11 ,-1 . xkxxwfl - I l - ug m lg il -'-- --ll---! --'- H W4WW4W'1 ' ,mmm X 'l : -I Z . . I I I X 4 - th 0 m m i n High! X A 3 ii - J ,J

.-fl EXCHANGE CLUB PLAQUE The Service Plaque, presented to the high school by the,San.ta Barbara Exchange Club last spring, now hangs in the main hallway, an inspiration and ideal of achievement to spur the efforts of students and classes to come. The placing of a student's name on the plaque and the receipt of a small replica of the plaque by the individual is the highest honor that the school has to offer. A boy and a girl of the class of l927 will be the first to receive this award, and the class as a whole will enjoy and appreciate their distinction. The requirements for the award are such that only the all-round student can hope to reach its standard. The Seniors having the highest standing in service, leadership, citizenship, scholarship, and sportsmanship for their three years in high school will be the honored ones. We know that every class will be happy and content with the choices made' and announced at Commencement, and that the standards as a whole w1ll be raised by each succeeding class, so that the entire school will benefit by this excellent gift. I Anduso, to the Exchange Club, we w-ish to say Thank Youf' to the winners, Congratulationsf' to the coming Seniors, Carry On.
