It is not only the thanks of the present classes that are inexpressably sincere but of those hundreds who have come under her gracious influence during all the years she has been in the school. When Mrs. Byrd came to Santa Barbara High School in 1904, she took the position of Head of the English Department and served in that capacity until 1927. In 1906 she became Vice-Principal, and in 1924 Vice-Principal of Girls, taking in 1926 the title of Dean of Girls. She organized the Alumni Association, established the High School-Alumni Scholarship Fund, and directed from 1905-1924, the annual senior play which financed this fund. In 1906 Mrs. Byrd organized the then chaotic library under the Dewey decimal system and connected it with the A. L. A. In this same year she introduced debating as an activity and founded The Senate, a debating society that flourished until 1918. 1907 found Mrs. Byrd establishing the Olive and Gold, then a semi- annual. She acted as its faculty adviser until 1924. In helping to draft the first Student-Body Constitution. in 1908, Mrs. Byrd showed her vital interest in Student-Body control. In 1911 she helped organize the Santa Barbara Junior College, the second in the state, which is now combined with the Teach- ers College. Not only has Mrs. Byrd taken active part in the affairs of the entire Stu- dent-Body, but she has done a great deal for the girls, for during the late years of the war she organized the Girls' Red Cross in the school, and in 1924 she established the Girls' League in Santa Barbara High School. Mrs. Byrd had the League incorporated in the High School system and was its adviser and welfare head until 1927, Aside from these tangible results of Mrs. Byrd's years in Santa Barbara High School there is the wonderful spirit that she has created and upheld. In her classes she has brought, through the richness of her personality and the strength of her experiences, some added delight and depth to the classics she has taught. During her long period of advisership she has so shaped by her own upright life the ideals of the students she has taught that she has made our school widely known for its high ethical and social standards. Instead of try- ing to over develop leaders Mrs. Byrd has always tried to bring out in every individual some worthy trait so that each might have some gift for the world. Mrs. Byrd's lofty innuence will always live in the lives of those who have comejn contact with her. lPage Ninel Hwang 'tl I -im ' I rswixxx Yum .llmlllll-lll' li iqi! +-J--'Q--'WI 9 5 1 ,twil l A i mml it .ana 1 -.-Z if fa- - A 4
