The removable office partitions which can be changed to suit different office needs and the giant weather bird atop the building are among its re- markable characteristics. Two of Bakersfield's oldest industries, support- ing much of its population, are those of oil and cotton. L 15 1 Our Wealffz libs Here From far below the earth in black oil and heavy lumps of multi-colored ores, from great lowing herds of cattle and peacefully grazing sheep, from vast check- ered fields, gold and green with produce- f rom these comes the support of our school. f17 for M13 Fresh from our classrooms, these young men and women have taken their places in the world of business. Today they are re- sponsible citizensg yesterday they were care- free students. Expert training and super- vision have enabled them to become depend- able men and Women, the backbone of our democracy and the pride of their community. How fortunate they are to live in a land of opportunity! E181 We Alb: Y w l . www J v V: Training for the day when they may take their place in tl1e world as men and women, these students are under the supervision of an expertly trained staff of teachers. America needs defense through offices and stores as well as through army and navy. Her hopes for the future lie in the hands of the skilled workers of tomorrow. L11-11 cfzool For more than twenty hours out of the twenty- f our our new shop buildings are busy. During the day, students occupy these shopsg in the evening, night-school pupils occupy them, and from nine to three-thirty in the morning they are used by men who are preparing for the mechanical jobs neces- sary in the arming of our nation. l20l In the shops is an unusual and very practical mechanism-the electric eye. When clouds pass over the sun, the electric eye switches on the lightsg when it is bright again, the lights turn off, thus maintaining an even illumina- tion for the Working students. E211 Each school day hundreds of boys and girls pour in and out of the buildings on our campus. Girls go to.Ludden Hall to learn homemakingg future artists and journalists, both boys and girls, develop their talents in the Library Building. The class rooms in the Junior College Building are used by many students, and the great study halls are used by all. For these structures, power is generated in the boiler house. i221 Here We learn W5 ARL' GOVFRNED ft ' in fa- Dlkfflk' Er-lv if-fl FT psi: rf ep 4: 1 5 3 1 1 A Cats' .G 'K--f eff KM A MW! ' f ,I X.

It is also placing stress on student voca- tional training. Already a large per- centage of students have been placed in jobs. The board includes Mr. T. N. Har- vey, president, Mr. H. E. Woodwortli, clerk, Mr. A. D. M. Osborne, Mr. Harry West, and Mr. Chester O'Neill. Dr. Thomas L. Nelson, who sits with the board, is our district superin- tendent, and Mr. Theron McCune is our assistant superintendent in cha ge r of business service. leaders Certain well-known people help in running the affairs of our school district. Alert to the need of keeping all informed on these affairs is Mr. Allen, in charge of public relations. Under the supervision of Mr. Dickson the Agriculture department has achieved national recognition. For his wards, Mr. Evans has the hundreds of books in the libraries of the district. More and more citizens of the high school district are receiving the benefit of studies offered in the Evening High School, of which Mr. Garrard is the competent principal. Mr. Polasky takes care of all problems con- cerning grounds and equipment. wi H, ,st- ' 0ur Pnhcwal Since the dawn of history elder statesmen have been forced to call upon youth to extricate the tribe or nation from troublesome situations. Youth has nobly responded to such calls with sacrifice of life, of limb, of blighted career in vain effort to permanently estab- lish the ideals of peace and prosperity. The veneer of civilization is thin, and once more the greed of power-mad men has forced the world into turmoil. It has become the heritage of American youth to maintain and pre- serve by peactfu! mmm those vestiges of democracy which yet survive. To the preparation of youth for their momentous task our schools are dedicated .... L. VV. HEDGE. E231 and Counselors Our counseling staff is centering attention this year on the study of democratic principles in school government. The staff encourages self-evaluation by the student, and, above all, an adjustment of the individual student's future plans to his own abilities and to the fields of opportunity available to him. Increased by three members, the staff now con- sists of Miss Jordan, counselor of Junior and Senior girls, Miss Nelson, of Sophomore girls, Miss Nei- man, of Freshman girlsg Mr. Wright, of Senior boys, Mr. Bliss, of Junior boys, Mr. Samuelson, of Sophomore boys, and Mr. Evans, of Freshman boys. During the spring semester, Mr. Bliss is away on leave. As a reserve officer in the United States Army, he is serving as instructor in military tactics and science at the University of California, Berkeley. E291 fssenfld Mr. Gholz, treasurer, and Mr. Dennis, financial adviser, have the considerable task of managing the business side of our school. Mr. Kelly, competent attendance officer of Kern County Union High School, makes friends of all of those with whom he comes in contact. Efficient workers who are kept busy with the office details include Miss Van Doozer, chief attendance clerkg Miss Parker, secretary to Mr. Kellyg at our central switchboard is Marie Stanfield who keeps us in touch with the outside world and who is a reliable source of general school information, and Miss Dona- hoe, head registrar of the school. Miss Graupman, informed as she is on all school events and details, is through her dual job of secretary to Mr. Hedge and keeper of the school calendar, an essential person here. t30l orkers A figure familiar on the campus is Mr. Cooke, who for eleven years has been caring for our many textbooks, while compara- tively new is our efhcient librarian, Miss Cowan, who does much to enhance the atmosphere of the library hall. Miss Deal, administrator of tests, helps many of us in select- ing courses and subjects in keeping with our mental inclinations and capabilities, and overlooking the general health status of our school is the Health Service Department, ably functioning under Doctor Tuttle, Doctor Loven, and Nurse Anderson. wi Cas odkzns f 1 Cleaning up after seven thousand people is not easy, but such is accomplished admirably each day by the school maintenance department. Through the industry of our twenty-five cus- todians a pleasant atmosphere prevails on our campus. COMMISSARY DIRECTOR Supervising the serving each day of well- planned lunches to five or six hundred students and teachers is the task of Mrs. Caskey, who has for her own specialty the making of delicious pies. E321 The largest union high school bus sys- tem in the United States functions right here at Kern County Union High School, and We may Well be proud of its service record. Since the inauguration of the depart- ment in 1916 our school buses have traveled over six million miles Without there being a single major student catas- trophe. Almost all of the buses are serv- iced in our own bus shop. Q19 i231 failaisllii. ig 5 H2 B 5 llli lla? Department The work of primary importance at Kern County Union High School- education-is supervised by the de- partment heads. These fourteen men and women, with their staffs, are re- sponsible for planning courses for the next year, making changes in texts, advising on teacher problems, and for helping new teachers become adjusted. One period on the daily schedule of each is set aside for departmental Work. Although most department heads teach only high school subjects, some teach both high school and junior col- lege classes and several teach the full time in Junior College. rw Heads The department heads are the fol- lowing: Mr. Dickson, Agriculture, Mr. Dalbom, Boys, Physical Education, Miss McKinley, Girls' Physical Educa- tion, Mr. Griffith, Mathematics, Mr. Vandereike, Natural Science, Mr. Wil- cox, English, Miss Forker, Foreign Language, Miss Frater, Social Science, Mr. D. Smith, Mechanical Arts, Mrs. Emerson, Art, Mr. Gurr, Drawing, Mr. Burt, Music, Miss Siemon, Home Economics, Mr. Davy, Business Edu- cation. Mr. Vandereike, Mr. Davy, Miss McKinley, and Miss Forker teach only junior college classes. Mr. Dickson is distinguished by his position as district head of the Agricultural department. mm .S'fu em' fxecufives Every student in Kern County Union High School is repre- sented in the Executive Council of our school. This council, which executes the important business of the student body, is made up of the elected officers of the student hody, of the ofhcers of the class councils, and of a representative of the Activity Boosters. After meetings, class council officers report the activity of both class council meetings and Executive Coun- cil meetings in their history classes, thus gaining the reaction of the class to all proposals. N . - I i361 if The Executive Committee, made up ex- clusively of student body officers, votes on the minor business of the student body. lt also sets the date for the monthly meeting of the Executive Council. These two bodies work as a unit to promote democracy in our school. The actual boosting at our sports events is handled by the song and yell leaders. The head song and yell leaders are elected of- ficers of our school. wi l,,. 111 .stir ' -' . if ii 13' ' 'fr 512 V ' -1 ui?

The Boosters also promote causes that have national importance, such as tuberculosis and infantile paralysis drives. The members of the club are drawn from second period classes and meet either fourth or fifth period with Mr. Dennis, the adviser. 38 l Promote With a program launched and carried forth with fitting zeal, the Rally Com- mittee has proved its reputation as one of the school's liveliest organizations. Novel stunts characterized the many clever rallies that stimulated enthusiasm before football and basketball games throughout the year. The custom of electing a football queen was initiated by the Rally Com- mittee this year. The whole student body participated in this election in a truly democratic fashion. rss W5 !lRf 706' PIFOPZE Classes I 95.5, A 'Y Q M -'df 'Of VV X X W Y 11 3 4 .

Instrumental in bri ing about this very successf ul year are adviser, Mr. Cannon, and the ofticers the class: Dick Hosking, presidentg R1 Snow, vice-presidentg Helen Stodda secretaryg and Ben Yamashita, treasur The council has planned with style social activities of the Seniors-dana Class Day, graduation exercises, and b quet. Other duties well performed clude selection of Senior sweaters a graduation announcements. This council has distinguished itself by initiating many changes in legislation. It was tirst to adopt the ideas of school rings and of council keysg it improved upon school elections and boosted the senior play. Seniors may look back with great pride to the splendid record of the class of 1941. t43l COUNCIL ,ju Here, in one of his more relaxed moments, is our busy and efticient editor of the Blue and White, Ray Snider. From the time he was voted outstanding as a freshman until now, gradu- ating as an outstanding senior, Ray has made a name for himself as a hard-working organizer and as a first-rate journalist. He is a member of the Quill and Scroll and of the Executive Council. E441 Throughout her four years in high school Grace Alexander has been a most ardent booster of school spirit. She is on the Rally Committee, is a Thespian Player, and is a prominent class council member, in addition to being our capable student body secretary. Aiming at a law career, Mary Ann Russell shows all signs of being a brilliant success in her chosen field. Among her many accom- plishments are winning the Valley Extemporaneous Speaking Championship, placing with the Valley De- bate team, and achieving membership in the Califor- nia Scholarship Federation- Scholastically speaking, Nancy Benson ranks among the high- est in her class, being a life member of the California Scholarship Federation. Her achievements, however, are as a leader as well as a scholar. As president of the Hostess Club, Nancy has led that organization in one of its most successful years, she is on the Senior Council, and her interest in dramatics has led her to membership in Thespian Players. l46l Our student body vice- president and Military Ball queen were this year personified in one and the same person . . . popular senior Pat Abell, who is also an important mem- ber of the Rally Commit- tee and of the Girls' Ath- letic Association. Three years as presi- dent of his class, climaxed by his being elected to preside over the student body in his senior year have shown to everyone the qualities of true lead- ership in Ted Chenney, whose affable personality and ready smile are famil- iar to all. im Last year as an assistant editor of the Oracle, this year as its enthusi- astic editor, vivacious Gladys Barksdale still finds time to be active in other campus affairs. She is in the Hostess Club, and is on the Execu- tive Committee and the Blue and White Staff. Her journalistic efforts have warranted her being a member of the Quill and Scroll, and her scholastic achievements have for two years placed her in the California Scholarship Federation. i481 Four years an outstand- ing student and this year president of the Califor- nia Scholarship Federa- tion, Lois McCaW is also president of the Thespian Players, drarnatics honor society and on the Oracle Staff. She is a true credit to the Class of 1941. Sports enthusiast Ellen Cordero is a gold seal mem- ber of the California Schol- arship Federation, president of the Valkyries, and an active participant in student body affairs. She is one of the best-known and best- liked people on our campus. BARKSDALE, BASSILL. BEESON, BESE, BOOTH.

Money for the success- ful Junior-Senior Prom was raised by means of a series of campus candy sales and from the proceeds of the Inter-Class Track Meet. Contrary to past custom, the Juniors chose this year to purchase class rings instead of the usual class pins. Officers for the year have been Charles Owens, presidentg Ann Grifnth, vice- presidentg Jeane Overocker, secretaryg and Bill Bradley, treasurer. Mr. Leary has been the efhcient and helpful c s adviser. S 5693 opfzomore The Sophomore Council is com- posed this year of thirty members and represents just as many opin- ionsg it has as its objective the draw- ing of the Sophomore Class into a more closely knit and more active group. Putting into practice the principles of democratic self-government, the members of the Sophomore Class chose these students, Who have abil- ity in leadership, to be their of- ficers: John Battistoni, presidentg Renee Keetch, secretaryg and Dorris Trogdon, treasurer. Mr. Charvo is adviser, and Carol Cunningham is publicity manager. Xiu., I' H01 C7455 This year's Freshmen have proved to be one of the school's most energetic groups. At the rallies and assemblies their in- spired singing and cheering consistently outdid that of the upper classmen. Pro- moting candy sales, selling class pins, introducing a new system of representation in their government, and participating in student body functions showed that the Freshmen have what it takes to make a spirited school. The Freshman Council is jointly advised by Mr. Evans and Miss Neiman. The of- ficers are Charles Howard, president, Jean Adams, vice-presidentg Marion Gardner, secretary, and Pat Dwyer, treasurer.

The local organization of the Federation, Ch ter Twenty, is composed of one hundred a four eligible members. lt has scored this ye as a service organization. Members assisted the election of class ofticers and helped C. S. F. U41 enthusiasm for voting. The group enjoyed several parties, ice skating, a bean feed, and a potluck dinner. Several Bakers- field delegates attended the state convention at Turlock. District Ten convention delegates were successfully entertained here in the fall at an active session. Novitiate pins signifying schol- arship for service were intro- duced. The officers of this year's scholastic group were Lois Mc- Caw, president, Jack Dovvell, vice-president, Reba Sourbeer, secretary, and Ed Andrews, treasurer. Mrs. Heyd and Mr. Hemmerling are co-advisers. Wfhgs Over 761 SCHOOL Of the many outstanding de- partments functioning at Kern County Union High School the aircraft department, under the directorship of Mr. Cross, is one of the finest. Since 1930 a course in aviation has been offered to our studentsg today the facilities in both shop and personnel rank among the best in the state. In the summer of 1939 the depart- ment Was moved from the shop buildings on the campus to a new building with modern equipment at the Kern County airport. Amerika' AVIATION Through the cooperation of the army and the navy, over thirty aircraft engines have been secured for use in a study of construction. Students have been further priv- ileged to examine the military and commercial ships based at the air- port. By offering rudimentary flying theory and practical information on the various types of aircraft engines, this course enables stu- dents to qualify more adequately for advanced aviation study or for entrance into the army, the navy, or a commercial field of aviation. I77 Uncle Sam 's OUR To develop leadership, discipline, and responsibility-just as this is the pur- pose of our national army, so is it the purpose of the school Cadet Corps. The program of the Cadets features drill work, rifle practice, a certain amount of military theory, as Well as practice in both giving and taking orders. The fifty-foot rifle range affords excellent opportunity for those interested in riflery to practice several times a weekg and from the results of intramural competition, teams are selected to com- pete in matches held by the National Rifle Association. Nephew: CADETS The first company of cadets at Kern County Union High School was organized in 1932. Since then, increased enrollment has necessitated the formation of a second company. The Cadets have had many activities outside of their regular training-the march in the Armistice Day parade and the Visitors' Day drills being especially commendable. The overnight encamp- ment at Lebec, offering a practical experi- ence in camp life, proved a source of enjoyment to all who participated. The seventh Annual Military Ball, held on November 15, proved to be a highlight in the school's social season. f79 Wfmf o Prouddf OUR SCHOOL Our honor-winning Band has for years added its triumph to those claimed by Kern County Union High School. High ratings have been awarded it time and time again in the Central California Band Festival and in the National Band Festival of Region Five. Under the able direction of Mr. Burt our Band has become a very fine concert organ- ization. Valuable assistance in marching and stunting have been rendered by Mr. Mueller and Mr. Overholtzer, assistant directors. a Q, if -L, 1. QQ - Q tl. f .

The organization's talented soloist, Maxine McLain, played the first movement of Bee- thoven's Concerto for Violin and Orches- tra. High school students holding offices under President Belton Stahlecker were Helen Burt, secretary-treasurer, Georgia Sagen, his- toriang and Thelma Hudson, librarian. The string ensemble and Woodwind en- semble made up of members of the orchestra, as well as the orchestra, often performed in public and furnished good music at .our school plays.

Here, too, in our greatly enlarged library, under the su- pervision of Miss Cowan 'and Mr. B. Evans, are many students busy studying or doing research work. During the fourth and fifth periods each day a Hction division of the library is open to all students, in particular to those who come in on buses and have no other opportunity to secure fiction. The Blue and White office, across from the art rooms on the main floor, is an important place in the Library Building. Both the office of the Weekly and the adjoining journalism class room are filled with busy students engaged in producing next week's copy. On Thursday, when the Blue and White comes out, the Library Building steps seethe with gossip and news as the papers are read and as comments are exchanged. t39l V A Decent Respect For KX ,A At Phoenix this he Varsity Debate Squad battled with Words over the subject Resolved That the Federal Government Should Equalize the Educational Opportunities Among the Sev- eral States.

Such a group has long been needed in our school as a foundation for more advanced high school oratory. The members of the class are proving the value of instruction in debate fundamentals. Although the subjects for debate have been varied, this group has concentrated mostly on timely military matters. East Bakersfield High School has been the chief opposition this year. i911 lei ORACLE STAFF Towards the exemplification of Our America through Kern County Union High School and its activities of 1941, the Oracle Staff members have directed their combined efforts. In addition, the Staff has this year achieved a more nearly perfect division of the book, heavier paper, and color on the division pages.

New varieties of headlines and stories were intro- duced to make the journal more attractive. Ray Snider was allowed more freedom and was given more responsibility than was ever before enjoyed by a student editor. Assigning, interviewing, writing, and reading the proof of the stories of campus life was an exciting business for all the members of the staff. Not only staff members but also all the student body look forward to Thursday, when Blue and Whites are issued. The paper received a high rating on the Quill and Scroll International Honor Scale. This year it was entered in the National Scholastic Press Association for the first time.

Acffbn on ffle 6'r1b'1?on With Coach Dwight M. Griffith at the controls for his thirty-third year, Kern County High School's always-powerful Driller football team of 1940 ended a successful year as it won seven games, tied one, and lost one in a thrill-packed season on the gridiron. Football fans thought the Blue Blazes unbeatable. Then came the San Joaquin Valley Championship game, in which the powerful and well-drilled Fresno High School VVarriors, considered by many to be the best team in California, defeated the Griff-men by a close 20 to 12 score. In the first two games of the season the Drillers plowed under two of the Southland's most powerful teams, Covina and Cathedral, by 14 to 0 scores. Downing the Pasadena Spartans by an easy 19 to 0 count, the local lads hoped for an unscored upon season, but these hopes were shattered in the next encounter when San Diego scored twice. The Drillers however won this game by a 35 to 13 count. What was expected to be a cinch win turned out to be quite a battle as Phoenix, Arizona's Coyotes, held for a 6 to 6 tie. With all shades of over-confidence grilled out of them, the Blue Blazes gave the Stockton Tarzans a 32 to 6 shellacking. The Drillers then rolled over Loyola for a 41 to 0 win. Local fans were given the surprise of their lives when a supposedly weak Taft team held our boys to a hard-fought 7 to 0 victory, as the Drillers won the Kern County Championship. Although only one player, Ed Preston, 200-pound tackle, was named as All-Valley, Ray Meagher, John Rossetto, Kinya Sakamoto, Harry Long, Jr., and Tom Pappas will long be remembered in our 'school's football history. Backtield Coach J. B. Cap Haralson and Line Coach Fred Moffett played a big part in building this almost unconquerable eleven. 51213 X , 'fills ' - At K ,N iwi' K fx' 1 55 v iff Alofar . YA. .224 -.

ELMO BARIFFI, C. JACK HARRINGTON, L. T. ALEX PEREZ, L. E UV .fgrf Our 6'oal Coaches Griffith and Moffett might have produced another Valley-Championship Basketball team if it hadn't been for the mid-season announcement that Jungle Jim Hamilton, colored forward star, was inelig- ible for further competition. After a slow start, the Drillers started to pour on the heat and defeated every team that appeared on their schedule. Local fans were sure of winning the championship, until came the fatal announcement that the team had taken a down grade plunge. The magnificent play of Murphy Pruett, guard, was thoroughly recognizedg and when the end of the season came, the coaches throughout the League unanimously named him All-Valley. If Holding the Valley-Championship Ediso High to only a one-point win was the biggest accomplishment of the season for the locals. Coaches '6Moff and Griff worked very hard during the season teaching the team stellar defensive and offensive plays.

I their first league game the dropped a close 32 to 30 count t the East Bakersfield Dagger: Haralson's crew then seemed t hit their stride and downed th Taft Bobcats by a 26 to 22 scor4 Wasco High School was an eas victim for the strong Sandab' who defeated them by a 34 to count. The local Bees got swec revenge in the next encounte when they knocked the Eaf Bakersfield Daggers out of th running with a 35 to 19 coun VVasco again fell to the local: this time by a 37 to 10 scort Taft High then took the chant pionship from the locals whe the Sandabs lost a heartbreak ing 22 to 23 game. Oar Defense The Sandab basketball team was the strongest Coach Haralson has had in many years. They won fourteen out of eighteen engagements and were defeated by only one point in the County play-offs by the strong Taft Bobcats. lt was interesting to note that the Sandab team was made up of last year's Class C Bit outfit, with not one Bee reserve of former years breaking into the limelight. There was not one individual star in Cap's line-up. Each player was as good as his teammates, and, as a result, much teamwork was used in the makeup of the squad. Roger Stone and Elo F abbri, forwardsg Pat Barrett, centerg and Bob Bray and Paul Starke, guards were all equally credited with the team's many victories. Coach Haralson, as usual, played a big part in the team's suc- cesses throughout the season. Tom Hasper and Joe Lane served as managers. 51293 They Work Although they did not win the Kern County Title for the third consecutive year, Coach Rodgers' scrappy little Class C Bits put up a whale of a battle throughout the season. They downed fourteen out of nine- teen opponents. No one considered it a disgrace when the local team lost to the Delano Cees, as the small-towners had one of the best teams in the state. Harvey Leong, little Chinese ace, and Bryon Kennedy were the two outstanding men on this year's team. The steady play of Guards Wayne Wallace and Don Cham- berlain and Center Sam Rossetto was also outstanding and helped the team in many victories. Coach Rodgers had a tough job of coach- ing this season, as most of the players turn- ing out for his squad were beginners in the sport of basketball. or Perfecflbn BITS The Bakersfield Bits started their League play-off with a bang when they walked over the East Bakersfield High Cees by a 28 to 17 score. They continued to stay in the win column in the next two games when they defeated the Taft Kittens by a 17 to 11 shellacking and then downed the Wasco Cees 36 to 16. East Bakersfield again fell before Rodgers' Cees, this time by a 28 to 24 score. Delano's powerful little Cees, led by the Swift twins, then put a damper on the local lads' hope for the championship when they achieved a 27 to 8 score. The Bits then lost another game when Wasco beat them 18 to 16. They ended the season in a blaze of glory by defeating their arch rivals from Taft by a 13 to 10 score. . vu- e 2 'Z mi?-W 'f 1 .nv 5 W- Ci 4 ali, ,ef Sf? 2' + 1 my Jw- ,E 'Si- 1 L lgff 1' 'f SJ ,wk , F4 3 mi -f sw., gj?lJ EY J 48' , A AT I fx I si f 5 ff ff 35 if 2, The Sandab and Bits track teams were very well balanced this year. Both teams were strong and won most of the meets which were scheduled for them. Only one record was broken by these spikesters. This was the Class B high jump, which was broken by Jim Scott when he cleared the bar at 5 feet IOM, inches. Some of the outstanding men for the Sandabs were the following: 100-yard dash, Tommy Cullen and Jim Hara, hurdles, Harry Rinker and Harry Ferdinand, 1320- yard run, Joe Cabral, high jump, .lim Scott, broad jump, Jim Hara, 440-yard run, Leo Lopez, shot-put, Bob Dickey, discus, Bill Clardy, and sprints, Harry Elam. Henry Ishida was the all-round man for Class C this year. Also, the following boys gathered points for the local team. XYalter Stambaugh, sprints, Bert McLaugh- ton, pole-vault, Harry Holmes, 660-yard run, Elden Setterholm, high jump, VValter Granger, sprints, Bill Paynes, high jump and broad jump, Bill VVood, high jump and sprints, J im Morikawa, Sprints and relays, Eddie Yaksiath, 600-yard run and sprints.

Many boys braved the cfjveather to compete in this sport. 51383 GIRLS' SVVIMMING Girls taking swimming had loads of fun this year under the supervision of Miss Rankin and Miss Williams. The girls were divided into two groups, the beginners and the advanced class. The beginners practiced on form and on developing swimming abil- ity, while the advanced group put on exhibi- tions for various social affairs. The sport starts in March and lasts until the end of the year, when the members of the advanced group present an aquacade for the annual Senior Banquet. About 100 girls went out for the sport this year, 1 91,1-f' BASEBALL Under Coaches Griffith VVilliamson, the few players of the school turned Ol for this sport. For the past sev eral years, Bakersfield High Scho1 has not had an outstanding tea n and this year's squad was no ex ception to the rule.

Although the squa did not win too many game they showed good A ' a Directed by Coach Christensen, our tumbling team, the Dervishes, had a suc- cessful year. They performed for many affairs and entered quite a few meets, out of which they took many first places. The outstanding man of the team was muscular Dan Shull, who participated in such events as hand-to-hand balancing and parallel bars. Curtis Anderson, Loren Giggy, Harry Hiner, and Richard Am- brosini also were Coach Christensen's pride and joy. TUMBLING 51413 6'17ls' Girls taking physical education had a very well-balanced program this year. There was never a dull moment, as the girls enjoyed such sports as archery, swimming, folk dancing, baseball, basketball, ping-pong, tennis, and volleyball. The Leaders, a group of girls out- standing in sports, proved to be a great help to the gym teachers. They assisted in taking roll, in putting up equipment, and in serving as officials in the girls' games.
