Af Q M45 Principal s Message THE year just passed has been marked by a number of outstanding events. First of these I would list the in- creased seriousness of attitude on the part of our whole student body toward school workg second possibly should be the increased number of students who are staying in school in the junior and senior years and in the junior college. Almost equal with these, however, should be men- tioned the student aid work financed by the faculty and the increased participation by students as a whole in various activitiesg probably the most important of these increased activities are the Girl Reserves and the extension of the Hi-Y. iVVe have looked forward to the time when every student would be in some form of activity and when no student was in too many activities. We have approached measurably closer to this ideal. I would like especially to express my appreciation to the officers of the student body for their evident desire to do everything in their power for the benefit of the Kern County Union High School.

Prior to the year 1895, the high school was located on the corner of K street and Truxtun avenue where the Emerson Grammar School is now standing. Then, in 1895, the Commercial building was com- pleted and the beginning of our present campus took root. As the school grew, the campus grew. The board of trustees saw that another building was needed, so they got busy to see what they could do toward this need. In 1906 the Administration building was erected. At the time it was erected it was study hall, auditorium, and classroom building all together. Following the completion of this building the wood shop was built. This happened in 1911. Then. in 1915, the auditorium was completed. The year 1918 brought the girls' gymnasium, which was used at that time for both boys and girls. The year 1921 brought two buildings to the campusn-the Agri- culture building and the Science building. In 1922 Ludden hall was finished and in 1923 the Griffith stadium was added to our campus. The next year, 1924, brought the Library building, which is used for a study hall and for the drawing classes. 1927 marked the period of time when the Manual Arts building was started. This building was completed in 1929. In 1928 the student body had grown so much that two gymnasiums were needed to house the gynmasium classes. Then, in 1929, the first classroom wing of a new auditorium was completed. In 1931 the second wing of the new auditorium was completed. Building activities were not so great this year as the board was making plans for the auditorium proper of the new auditorium which is to be built next year. Let us hope that the students do not get the idea that planning budgets for building activities are the only things that the board does, because it is only one of the many things included in their jobs. We should congratulate the present board for the fine work they have done this year. The present board is composed of the following men: Judge T. N. Harvey, presidentg VVilliam Gleason, clerkg W. B. Robb, A. D. M. Osborne and H. D. VVest.

In continuation of the work of last yearis committee, with a slight revision of methods, the school traffic committee with Jay Huffman as its head has operated with a large degree of efficiency. They inaugurated the system of assembly pledges to promote better conduct in the assemblies. These pledges did much to control the disorderly conduct heretofore experienced in the assemblies. Students who signed the pledges were put on their honor not to talk or leave during the assembly. Anyone violating this pledge Was pro- hibited to attend any other assembly during the year. A great deal of credit must be given to VVarren .Iaggard who ful- filled the office of business manager of the Blue and XVhite marvel- ously Well during the fall semester and as long as was possible this semesterg the duties of this office were then taken over by Ervin Eggers who carried on in fine style. Credit must be given to Mr. Davy their advisor alld also treasurer of the student body. Through his careful planning and his interest in the student body, the student body funds came out on the top despite the depression. Relinquishing the gavel to the office of 1932-1933 tl1e student body officers of 1931-1932 are extremely proud of the problems they have overcome and the objectives they have achieved.
