GARDINER W. SPRING DOCIA I. PATCHETT Principal Vice-Principal Mr. Spring's Message to the Seniors As I write these words of farewell to the Class of 1930, there comes the news that Lindbergh has established a new record by crossing the continent in fourteen hours and forty-five minutes. It is a great accomplishment to add to the list of achievements already won by him. When warned of unsettled atmospheric condi- tions, he said, We expect to fly high enough to miss the storms. You graduates, like Lindbergh, have already made certain achievementsg now look forward to others. It is my hope that every member of this year's class will continue his educa- tion into higher realms, soaring above the commonplace and the mediocreg and, in doing so, I trust that each one of you may be saved from being buffered by many of life's storms. 13 1930

ADMINISTRATION I JEROME O. CROSS J. J. BURKE City Sfzperintendent of Stboolf Prefident of Board of Education Mr. Burke's Message to the Student Body The Student Body of the Santa Rosa High School comes from a wide range of territory, since the district is composed of the city of Santa Rosa and twenty-five rural school districts. The high school is a part of the city school system in which all the types of schools must co-operate with each other. As President of the Board, which is composed of Mr. George Proctor, Mr. Roe M. Barrett, Mr. Archie Lockhart, and Mrs. Sara Pryor, I believe in securing teachers with the highest professional training possible. Of the forty-four teachers in the high school faculty, fifteen devote their entire attention to vocational training. I believe in the theory that education is life, and that Santa Rosa High School should train its pupils to face the problems that are found here and now in Sonoma County. .-ftT....,.-,..A.,.. ,, .. ,, , , .., ,. o, Ts-, .--ans .. k.,.....1,.,1..,.r:.....t,...t.,..-,... . .. ..,..,.-., ,..,...,., ......, . ., .. y ,. ..,, 1930 12

ECHO I 1 v FAC U LTY During the past year fourteen new members have been added to the faculty of the Santa Rosa High School. They are: Miss Lorabelle King, Miss jennette Ufkess, Mrs. W. C. Van Rensselaer, Miss Florence Tangney, Mrs. Edna F. Smith, Miss Eugenia Watson, Miss Frances McCanse, Miss Margaret Swett, Miss Pauline Petit, Miss Martha E. Erwin, Mr. Henry Karpenstein, Mr. Vern Hickey, Mr. Marvin C. Holman, and Mr. Dale Walfron. Among the several activities the faculty enjoyed during the year were three informal parties. The first one was held in the home of Mrs. Martin on the evening of October 11, the second one was held at the Santa Rosa Golf and Country Club on the evening of December 11, and the third one, at the Guild Hall in Santa Rosa during the latter part of February. Dancing, whist, and bridge were enjoyed by everyone. The athletic department of our school has progressed very materially this year with the completion of the new gymnasium and the addition of two athletic in- structors to the faculty, Miss Frances McCanse and Mr. Vern Hickey. The debating class, under the able direction of Mr. Henry Karpenstein, has carried on the splendid work of Miss Catherine Fields, who is now teaching in the Junior College. In the English department Miss Watson and Miss Erwin have been of untold value, and to Miss Watson many thanks and congratulations are due for her splendid work on the Santa Rosan and the Echo. The Science department has been fortunate this year in having Miss Tangney and Mrs. Smith added to the faculty. When news came last October of the death of one of the shop mem- bers, Mr. Keyser, it was a shock to the school and the community. He was always well liked among the students of the school and especially among the boys from the shop. We were very fortunate, however, in having a man like Mr. Holman step in and fill the position in the splendid way he has done. 1930 14
