P rzncz pals M essa ge THE PAST two years have been marked by excessive growth in enrollment. Not only has there been the usual increase resulting from young people staying in school longer, but there have come to us many transfers from other schools in all parts of the United States. We have been glad to welcome these transfers to us and to learn from them the work of other schools. As you all know, this increase in enrollment has brought serious problems in providing enough classrooms, merely to provide sitting down space. The bond issue for addi- tional buildings will, in a considerable measure, solve these problems. We can now work forward to a regular develop- ment of building to take care of enrollment. I wish to express my appreciation to the citizens of the community, to the Board of Trustees, the faculty, and the student body for the fine co-operation that has made Kern County Union High School outstanding among the schools of California. - H. A. SPINDT. KN .

B oard of Trustees IN THIS school year the Board of Trustees have been very active and student groups and leaders have been brought to a keener appreciation and an increasing consciousness of the Work carried on by this board for student Welfare. It is fitting then that We pay tribute to their accomplish- ments and that We give an active support to and interest in their policies and programs. They have Worked faithfully in our interest, advising moves for the greatest benefit to the greatest number of students within the limit of the money available, protecting the interests of the student body and school organizations, and promoting the various extra-curricular activities which have in the past year brought so much attention to Kern County Union High School. Of definite service too, was their efforts in passing the EB200,000 bond which will finance the much-needed additions to the Library Building and the improvements on the Girls' Gymnasium. Members of the Board of Trustees are: T. N. Harvey, H. D. West, C. F. Moore, W. J. Walters, A. D. M. Osborne. Mr. Marvin Davis resigned his position in the spring to Mr. Moore.
