i-.1-1--Q-Q-f iota VE Es vw LU? Q-I-----Q-Q Q EDITORIALS 66Daddy77 ' This year we lose the last of the 'fold timers, 'Daddy Robertson. It is well to pause for a minute to remind ourselves of a life which has been so full of earnest endeavor. ' , In the year l883, he took his degree from Dartmouth College. During the next year he was principal of two high schools in Vermont. Then, for two years he was principal of Gelmanton Academy, one of the oldest educational institutions of Vermont, where he had to teach every phase of college preparatory work, and began to be recognized for his efforts. In l896, he accepted the prin- cipalship of a Union high school, teaching in the high school, supervising the gradework, and giving to the district its Hrst fully established courseof study for all the grades from primary through the high school. He is still remembered as the father of Vxfoodsville High School. From Woodsville he resigned and went to Rochester, New Hampshire, as principal of the high school. Here he gained a broader experience in all lines of high school work. Before he voluntarily resigned to come to California, his fel- low teachers had recognized his ability by electing him president of the Little Teachers' Association. When he resigned from this last position, he had been for eight years secretary of the State Educational Council, a member of the Board of State Teachers Examiners, and a member of the committee who drew up the first elementary and high school course of study for the state. After a year of rest and recuperation, in l908-l909, Daddy came to the Santa Barbara High School. In the first five years after his installation as a member of the faculty, he taught a course consisting of miscellaneous subjects ranging from surveying to Latin. Though deeply interested in the academic growth of the school, he never neglected the extra-curricular side. For ten years he acted as coach for the debating and oratory society, the Quorum: for three seasons he trained the baseball teams. His interest in athletics has always been keen, and for seven years the C. I. F. recognized him as its president. When he leaves us this year, he will have completed his fortv-iifth year in the teaching profession, and his twentieth in Santa Barbara High School. Dur- ing these last twenty years his work has included evervthing from cafeteria super- visorship to faculty advisership in the Student Body Council. Daddy is an institution, and we are sorrv for the next class which will never know the immediate influence of this man whom we all respect and love. -----ae--- Fine Arts Department 1 The fine arts departments of our school are represented this year for the first time by an individual division infthe Olive and Gold. The idea was adopted partly because the activities section was becoming too comprehensive and some division was necessary, and partly because fine arts in all branches 'have been de- veloping so rapidly recently that it seems advisable to 'devote an entire section of the annual to them. We hope that this increased recognition of the fine arts departments will stimu- late activities in those branches to even greater attainments than in the past. , has 0 , w ,- 'Cx N f N mmigiz csoqpnlk 9 its 3 H1 IU UI I mimi ,,..v 2 0..u1U1H: 1 lg, In ltgxmmm PAGE- FGURTEEN

-M-M-W-A-M-I 401.1 VE A tio Lvywiw-M The Annual Each year it is the aim of the Olive and Gold staff to maintain an increasing standard of excellence and to produce a book which is an improvement in some degree on the yearbooks of the past. Membership in the National Scholastic Press Association encourages improvement, for each year our annual is rated on specific points, and each successive staff takes advantage of the criticisms offered the pre- vious annual. This year, upon their suggestion, we have endeavored to improve the art work by increasing its standard and quantity, the administration department by adding photographs of the deans and including the qualifications of the faculty, and the book in general by such improvements as the elimination of waste space between pictures, and the including of identilication of pictures. Last year the Olive and Gold was awarded a First Class Honor rating, to- gether with only three other California high schools. But there is one rating still higher, the All American, and it is our ambition to grow steadily toward that goal, for we are used to the best in everything, and cannot be satisfied with less for our yearbook. Q90 I ECLIPSE What sombre shadow draws across thy face, Thou pale, lone-wandering Voyager of night? What grim foreboding darks thy lucid brow, And casts a shadow on the wond'ring world? Oh! Can it be that thou hast Viewed at last So much of earthly sorrow, grief-filled life, That thou no longer hast the equal strength To bear, unfrowning, so much misery Imprinted on thy patient, grieving heart? Ah moon! Just then you felt my sympathy, And 1ong'd to answer, pouring forth your woe. I know-because the shadow halted, oh So brief the moment! But I saw-I heard- I know!'Eor I, too, gazefrom one low hill On so much grief that I can somewhat sense What you must feel-you who have I looked upon So wide a scope of grief so long a time. Yes-in that one glance, I saw-I felt-I knew. BARBARA DAWSON, '29. ,, ff, - 1 ,Y,f 1 ya.
