MR, HARVEY J. HOLT Principal lt was in our own school that the actual recording was done. Executive and pub- lic relations problems were managed by Mr. Harvey Holt, principal. Mr. Douglas White, vice principal, had charge of in- ternal affairs and advised the student government, and Miss Frances Gower was dean of girls and adviser to the Girls' League. Thus our records were carefully pressed into final form.

THEY RECORDED A record is made by many people besides the recording artists. Someone schedules the rehearsals, someone operates the recording apparatus, someone cuts and presses the rec- ord. Similarly, many others beside ourselves entered into the production of our school records. The first planning of our records was done by the Santa Barbara Board of Education. These five townspeople, chosen by election and serving without pay, met bi-monthly to formulate school policy. Mr. David Licker and Mrs. Elizabetta P. Henderson became mem- bers of the board last spring, in the fall Mr. Joseph Paxton replaced Mrs. Katherine Mc- Closkey, who resigned after serving on the board for eight years. Members of the Board of Education of the Santa Barbara City Schools were CSeotedJ Mr. Joseph Paxton and Mrs. Elisabetta P. Henderson, fStandingJ Mr. David S. Licker, Vice President Bruce D. O'Neal, and President C. E. Sovine. ,,.WV .,.. A I ,f , 3 W' ,r,,.,,,,,w.W-q- ,M-wwf - 2 DR. EINAR W.

Their Classes Had With the opening of school on September l5, teachers and students started the project of cutting their records for l954. Juniors and seniors returned well-acquainted with the sys- tem at SBHSg sophomores trod our halls a bit more warily, but the informal atmosphere soon put them at ease. The task of training nearly l6OO students fell to our eighty teachers. Former student- body president Robert Casier returned to his alma mater as a social studies teacher and sponsor for Junior Statesmen. Joining the girls' physical education department were Mrs, Louise Erikson, who took over the sponsorship of the GAA, and Miss Eleanor Goodman, teacher of sports and modern dance.
