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 .

ff W Executive Committee THE SCHOOL YEAR of social activities was begun ex- cellently by the Annual Student Body Dance sponsored by the Student Body Executive Committee. The House of Representatives, started last year for guid- ing the school is still in effect. About once a month repre- sentatives of every club meet to consider new rulings and advances in school government. The football season was completed with an excellent Football Banquet arranged by the joint student bodies of the High School and Junior College. Mr. Bill Henry, sports writer for the Los Angeles Times, spoke at the dinner. Later dancing was enjoyed by those attending the affair which was held at El Tejon Hotel. An amendment to the constitution was proposed by the Executive Council and later passed by the Student Body, enlarging the duties of the vice-president to include the direction of the social program of the school. It was also decided by the group that no more gold or silver awards be given to the students. Instead, all those deserving recog- nition, be considered for the Annual Senior Service Awards. These were given at the end of the spring semester by the council, senior class, and faculty. Members of the Executive Committee this year are: President, Bob Sheldon, Vice-President, Paul Collins, Sec- retary, Bosamarie Gillig Editor of Blue and White, Jane Collins, Business Manager of Blue and White, Jack Corn- well, Editor of Oracle, Josephine J ewett 3 Business Manager of Oracle, Jack Cooperg Yell Leader, Ed Clanton g Advisor, Mr. Davy.
