For three years he has been working on plans whereby exhibitions of the works of famous artists might be brought to the school for the benefit of the students. The art exhibits which have been in the upper hall since Christmas have been the result of these plans. This last semester it has been the privilege of the student body to have hung in the high school works of artists of national and international repute who reside in Santa Barbara. Most of these paintings and etchings which have been in our exhibit hall have been displayed in the great art galleries of the world. Two portraits by Albert Herter constituted the first exhibit. Following these were more works of Mr. Herter and one Hower group by his wife. The next display was of work done by Fernand Lungren. A collection of etchings succeeded Mr. Lungren's three paintings. Five oils done by Colin Campbell Cooper were next. As the Olive and Gold goes to press seven wood-block prints, live the work of F. Morley Fletcher and two of John Platt, are hanging in our gallery. These pictures have not only furnished aesthetic pleasure to the students but have also given them a chance to become familiar with some of the best examples of the works of great artists. lt is the hope of the students that these art exhibits may continue in the future, and that not only pictures but also other works of fine art may be placed in the gallery. NEW BUILDINGS An institution which meets the needs of all types of students must offer a wide variety of courses. Just as the art exhibits appeal to the artistic student so do the new shops appeal to the practical student. The new Polytechnic buildings on the campus are designed to help in the preparation for industrial work. With the wood shop, printing, and auto mechanics departments on the grounds, more boys have been able to take the courses offered by these divisions than were able to when the buildings were across the city. Not only has it been of value to Santa Barbara High School to have the shops near because of the extra courses offered, but also the entire school was profited by having the Poly boys here to take part in Student Body affairs, athletics, and other activities. lPag'e Twelvej .5 e J ,flffff t ffm j,.,,,f fi Qu .

-it-lifwvetwvit iiilitnrialz FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY Fifty years ago this June the first graduating class, numbering two stud- ents. graduated from Santa Barbara High School. The High School at that time was, with the other grades, in the building located on the spot Where the Lincoln School now stands. About sixteen students were enrolled in the four- year high school course, Because this is the fiftieth anniversary of the first graduation, the editors of the Olive and Gold have made it an anniversary number. The seniors of today realize that the vision of the men and Women of the past has made pos- sible the present school system and wish to express their gratitude to the found- ers of our institution. In the Alumni department We have attempted to furnish a record of every class from the Hrst up to the present. lt has been impossible to trace accurately the careers and residences of all those who have gone out from our school dur- ing the past half century, but in so far as records could be obtained they have been embodied in the Alumni notes in this book. May the Work of this class be as much of an inspiration to future students as the eiforts of the first classes have been to us. LITERARY SECTION What should be contained in a year book? Periodically we are confronted with this question. Should only photographs, records of social, athletic, and scholastic events, and jokes ind a place in its pages, or should the yearbook also have a literary section? We believe the annual of a school should be representative of every phase of school life. In many schools Where the enrollment is large and it is possible to have a literary publication, this section has been dropped from the annual. As we have no such literary journal in our school, many students never have a chance to read the Worth-While things that are written by their fellow students. We therefore feel justified in having a section in which the literary talent of the school may be displayed. We are fortunate in having in this issue the short story which placed first in the national contest sponsored by the Scholastic Magazine, a contest in Which 20,000 manuscripts 'from all over the United States were submitted. Space does not permit us to publish all the prize material that we have on hand, but We feel that even a small literary section is better than none at all. So, Without apology, we have re-introduced into this book the literary division.
