M li. VAX D ICREIKE To Shafter and McFarland High School Student Bodies: I want to congratulate you on your first year as student bodies apart from your parent institution, Kern County Union High School. Your school may not be now all you expected, but you have a greater affection for it because it is your own in your l1on1e community. Although there is always room for improvement, I believe you are doing your best to prepare yourselves for the big job of making a life. You did 1l0l achieve everything you would like to have accom- plished, but by maintaining the high standard of scholarship that has been set for you and looking upward to higher and higher ideals of character through loyalty and co-operation among your- selves and with your teachers you must eventually secure for your- selves the same enviable position that the best schools have at- tained. Living the golden rule from day to day makes school a real joy for students a11d faculty. Kern County Union High School is always interested in your success and extends to you its very best wishes. PAUL VANDEREIKE.

MPFARLAND BRANCII STUDENT BODY Activities of McFarland HE McFARI.AND HIGH SCHOOL has l1ad a very busy year. Our first big task was that of moving into a beautifully equipped new home. Then came the realization that the future standing of the school would depend largely upon the actions taken and precedents set by the present student body. A real school spirit must be created within a group with no traditional standards to follow. Each one seemed to assume cheerfully his part of this re- sponsibility, consequently we are closing the year witl1 a strong student body organization, a working system of self government and no small amount of pride and confidence in our school. Two plays have been produced this year: a farce, Julius Caesarw and Now See Wllat You've Done, directed by Miss FitzGibbon. The physical education department under the direction of Paul Jackson and Ann Harder boasts a very successful year. Both the girls and boys have played series of games with Shafter in baseball as well basket ball. The boys also took part in the county track meet. The agricultural department has an enrollment of fifteen. Our music department consists of two organizations, the Girls, Glee Club and an Orchestra, which gave a combined recital in May. Miss Ruth Smith is the music director.
