Their work, as far as the students saw it, consisted in taking pictures, but the Oracle office was the scene of zealous activity for many months to complete your score. The members of the staff as shown in the picture were, sitting: Pat Likely, iunior editor, Lois Redfern, senior editor, Maudmarie Boehm, organizations, Gloria Zanetti, senior editor, Jean Stuart, editor-in-chief, and Gertrude Murdoch, social activities, standing: Patt Shearon, photography, Elsie McClure, assistant editor, Paul Asperger, business manager, and Reynolds Stone, boys' sports. Miss Howell was faculty adviser in charge of all Oracle activities.

Miss Jordan, not shown here, was counselor for the Senior girls. Miss Eloise Nelson served the Junior girls as adviser. The job of student testing was capably handled by Miss Bonnye Deal. Fresh- man girls were counseled by Miss Ruth Neiman, and Miss Evelyn Schilling aided Sophomore girls. Senior boys who were confronted with problems were advised by Mr. George Williamson, as were the Junior boys by Mr. Edwin Hemmerling. Helping adjust the Freshman boys to their new environment was Mr. Allen Cannon, who also counseled the Sophomore boys. Serving as head registrar was Miss Dorothy Donahoe. Assistant attendance officer was Mr. Charles Schmale. Mr. Donald Harrison was coordinator of the wartime training classes, this position being formerly held by Mr. John Van Osdel, and Mr. Jack Hill was in charge of attendance. qv -,Q 4 'NW . , 7 -w Q, W, .,i. 1 r g x so in X si it 2 .Q wks 'Lc fllaizfei HR'- Mr, Hedge kept our school life harmonious.. His gracious help to all, from the incoming freshman to the graduating senior, was greatly appreciated. lf our schedules became jumbled or our requirements for graduation seemed incomplete, a talk with Mr. Hedge straightened everything out. His willingness and thoughtfulness made him a concert master de luxe. 21 Two members of the Boord ot Trustees ore shown here: Mr T. N. Harvey, ogriculturol inves- tor with forming interests in Ar- vin, ond Mr, Phil Ohonneson, on ogriculturist ond o resident of Shotter. Dr. Thomos L, Nelson, district superintendent, directed the busi- ness otfoirs ot Eost Bakersfield Shatter, Mclzorlcind, Kernville ond Keene, os well os ot Kern County Union High School ond Bakersfield Junior College. Other members ot the Boord ot Trustees were Mr. C. W. O'Neil, in the electrical business, Mr. A. D. M. Osborne, o bonker, ond Mr. H. E. Woodworth, on ogricul- turol investor, with forming in- terests in Arvin. As an orchestra needs monagers, so Kern County Union High School needs its district officers. Holding very important positions in the district were Mr. Theron McCuen, assistant superin- tendent in charge ot business affairs, and Mr. John VanOsdel, coordinator of wartime train- ing. Mr. H. K. Dickson was in charge of all agricultural activities for the district, Mr. E. Ben Evans, libraries, Mr. Guy Garrard, principal of Bakersfield Evening High School, and Mr. Avery Allen, director of public relations. Mr. Norman Pollasky supervised buildings, grounds, and equipment, and Mr. Percy Cooke was in charge of textbook distribution for the district. Miss Evelyn Westlund, of the business office, and Mrs. Prebble Hendry, executive secretary to Dr. Nelson, both worked efficiently in their respective positions. Helping to maintain the American principles of free education in the Kern County Union High School, the Board of Trustees has done well. The board met twice monthly and had an annual meeting in July. 23 This year the Foreign Language department had a much larger enrollment than in previous years. Spanish seemed to be the most popular language, with Latin and French running close seconds. Chairman ot this department, Miss Ysabel For- lcer, was assisted by Cecile Coulthard, Josephine QLUZC Training students To be future architects and -drattsmen was the job well done by our Drawing de partment. Chairman ot this de partment was Mr George Gurr Other teachers included Alber Roach, Raymond Buckle Cla: ence Cullirnore and Frank Lgtta Wiley, Eloise Nelson, Lucile Burk, Eva Lefevre, Pauline Chenoweth, Emma Sandrini, Marguerite Johnson, and Maybelle Mentzer. The Music department of Kaycee in l944-45 was under the direction ot Mr. Harold J. Burt. Other members of this department included Harold Bradley, Ronald Clark, and Margaret Meyer. The Art department was headed by Mrs. Ruth Emerson, Also teaching art were Elizabeth Coman and Eunice Uebele. Students of the Mechanical Arts department were ably instructed in a specialized program of Y e . . . , wartime skills b D OD 1 Dickson, Harry Smith, Walter Shop and in the lflxp es were open to girls, so that they too would be trained to participate of planning a great post-war nation.

Davy, head 3' the department, Otto Asperger Dorothy Bitner, Clara Holmes Wallace Johnson, and Hester Reina. Our Mathematics department has played in proper rhythm. The teachers of this depart- ment have had an important part in strengthening our minds in preparation for our future. As it takes a blending of notes to create a beautiful symphonic composition, so did it take a blending of ideas of several mathematicians to bring to us the knowledge we desire and need in order that we be successful in the occupations we have Dlanned to undertake. New courses had to be perfected and old ones streamlined to make our Mathematics depart- ment a strongly organized unit, Heading the department was Mr. Dwight M. Griffith, shown in the picture above. Also in the picture are Paul Vandereike, Helen Plaum, Eileen Bowling, Albert Dennis, Mary Elizabeth Waggoner, Laura Heyd, and Lenora Broadhead. Others not shown are Percy Chamberlain, Edwin Hemmerling, Hattie Hoenshell, Wallace Johnson, Margaret Meyer, Edith McLean, anl Carter Pfwair. Although Ludden Hall fTin Q A M M-W7 EW Pan Alleyl is the scene of oc- casional mishaps, the Home Economics department has much to be proud of. Most girls use the fine training given here at some time during their lives. ln the picture at the right are Miss Lido Siemon, head of the department, Carol Clark, Gladys Penn, Margaret Moore, Jxeannette Kollenberg, 'Martha Shesler, and Tena Marioril , .f 26 l TK!

Those teachers not shown in the picture were Avery Allen, Edith Eitzgibbon, P-lozel Jordan, Leonard Mcliaig, Bess Recarich, Jess Stockton, and Robert Voung. l in the course ot one period, the study nall oroctor answered questions on anything from algebra to history, yet he kept on answering and srniling. Study Hall was what one made it , . A a place TO avoid, in which to relax, to catch up on nomework, or to crarn tor tests. Whatever one did, he had supervision ot the study hall Droctor. Those teachers cooperating with the students were Helen Plaum, Bernice Broddon, Ruth Freed, Ollie Edmundsen, Guy, Gorrard, Bess Becorich, Avery Allen, Harold Bradley, Ray Scott, and Lorraine Hanna. 28 The Agriculture department, under the leadership of Mr. Howard Dickson, has helped many boys at Kaycee become scientific farmers and stock raisers. Their laboratory is a one-hundred-and-two acre farm on which both live stock and produce have been raised. A herd of the finest grade of Guernsey cattle in the United States has been established. After the students have been taught in the classrooms, their knowledge is ap- plied at the school farm. Teachers in this department were Harry Holmes, Gilbert Hutchings, John Knight, Carter Phair, Robert Shreve, Walter Stiern, Howard Dickson, Ben Sutton, and Noel Misemer. The Boys' and Girls' Physical Edu- cation departments, under the direction of Mr. Dalbom and Miss Bulla, worked this year to build Herculeses and Amazons. Shown in the picture at the right are Mrs. Robesky, Miss Bulla, Miss Bond, Mr. Frost, Miss Hildebrand, Mr. Williamson, Mr. Dalbom, Miss Eisenberg, Mr. Shearer, Mr. Haralson, Mrs. Moe- hnke, Mr. Scott. 29 vi 30 .n ',1.. 4.w...an.n1.mn,f.m:, ' ' zx..n.wrz.-.:.'

A noon dance was sponsored by the class and the money raised was used to buy a leather jacket for Eric's birthday present. Pictured at the right is Lucille Dow, vice- president, Betty Ashworth, secretary, and Don Pruett, president, as they put up deco- rations for the dance. Other activities at the Senior Class included a tall football 'dance and a well-attended spring picnic. Traditional events such as Class Day, Bac- calaureate Services, and the Senior Ban- quet were again observed by the Senior Class. The Senior Class officers ot l944-45 worked to keep a war-time graduating class in tune. Don Pruett, as president at the class, dealt ably with many important problems. As- sisting him was Lucille Dow, vice-president. It was her job to direct the social activities of the class. Keeping the class records was the duty of Betty Ashworth. Bob McKin- non, class treasurer, did a splendid job ot keeping the Senior Class financially sol- vent. Mrs. Moehnke was the adviser. 7?i52UZx?g E. use 5 env The Senior Council was mode up of representatives of the Senior Class who were chosen by each second period class having five or more seniors. These students spent o busy yeor planning numerous activities ond :vents, such os the fall football dance, Senior Hick-Day, ond the Senior Banquet. After each event was discussed ot the weekly meet- ings, the representatives took the ideas back to their second period classes for the opinion of the entire Senior Class.

The members are the What do you knoxx Joes of the campus. The local chapter was chiefly a social organization this year, sponsoring an annual dance The Lumber Jack Jump, in January, and holding various picnics and parties for members Membership in the club is decided by semester average grades, different grades counting certain numbers of points. A gold seal is earned if membership is attained six out of eight semesters, one semester being in the senior year. A gold seal on a diploma indicates life membership in the C, S. F, These gold seals are useful in later lite either in the armed forces or in advanced college work, as the seals are recognized all over the state. 84 One ot the outstanding service organizations of this year was the Technicians' Club. Among the boys' working activities were helping with the scrap drives and other community services. Their social activities consisted of numerous swimming parties. Keeping the club on the right note throughout the year were Mr. Harry Drennen and Mr. Jerry Smith, advisers. Jim Laycock served as president, Howard O'Neil, vice-president, Shorty Martinez, secretary, and Bud Wessell, treasurer.

They gave several pro- grams, one of them at Minter Field, and received highest honors. Their program in May was the crowning success. The president ot this group, which was in its second year ot activity, was Lee Wiles. Q l Accentuatin' the positive was Bill Der- ringer, who acted as president of the Student Architectural Association. Also in the line of duty, Carl Petersen acted as vice-president, Arthur Tatum, secre- tary, and James Pierce, publicity chair- mon. Under the direction of Mr. Clarence Cullimore, adviser, the club sponsored a contest for the best post-war, small house design. Arthur Tatum was awarded first place, Claude Friesen, second place, Richard Minner, third place, while honor- able mention was awarded to Joan Culli- more, Bill Derringer, Le Roy Kutras, Kathleen Knight, and Neil Cameron.

This drive was conducted in November The club also gave its full support in the current War Bond drives Artistic ideas were exercised in the making of colorful pottery pins woodwork and leather articles Stenciling projects were done also by the members of the Craft Club li Qtgll Co-mei .Qaa'c7Po MQ flfouf Staccato might well have been the pass word for the ambitious Blue and White staff. The Blue and White staff observed the typical journalistic style of writing, being careful to make leads short and precise, but including as many of the five W's as were possible. An achievement of the B 84 W staff was the special December 7 edition of the paper, which was sent to all the fellows and girls that have left Kaycee to enter the armed forces. Those who held positions on the staff were, front, Jane Clare, feature editor, seated, Lucille Snider, assistant feature editor, Kathleen Knight, editor-in-chief, Norma Noble, assistant news editor, standing, Douglas King, Jim McCormick, Peggy Chevalier, Clarence Aguirre Reba Grant, Corlene Johnson, Mary Jo Kelly, reporters, Marvin Ferguson, managing editor, Nancy Draper, business manager, Larry Vincent, sports editor, and Paul Asperger, special writer.

Lovely, Ray Lock- ard, llene Frye, Bob McKinnon, Doug- las King, Bill Derringer, David Ramsey, and Dick Booth. Mr. Dennis was class instructor. Arranging for contracts with engraver, photographer, and printer, blocking out dummies, planning picture schedules, and interviewing organizations kept Oracle Staff members as busy as bees during the fall months of the year. Then as contact pictures came in, scissors replaced blue prints, and the cutting and assigning of copy began. The lettering and other art work was done by student artist Walt Stewart. Jean Stuart took charge of all copy assignments to staff members. Paul Asperger, business manager, spent a period in the Oracle Office each day checking correspondence, writing to sponsors, and directing sales and advertising. Miss Editha Howell, faculty adviser, was in charge of all yearbook activities. crwgf Can .QQ To-fri L f- l ,. XC ,ill V' ,ill XM? 1 2 l - - iiflw. M fi yjffcl fl' ,v ll l ,F if i 1 , K, , . . The G. A. A., Girls' Athletic Association, had several important purposes behind it. lt helped promote skill and enjoyment for the girls while they acquired new ideas on good health and sportsmanship. The girls had several parties, a banquet, a bicycle trip, and a weenie bake. A point system was worked out by which the members earned their awards. The officers of G. A. A. were, president, Beverly Schwocho, vice-president, Bar- bara Davis, recording secretary, Florence Montgomery, corresponding secretary, Roberta Foster, Freshman representative, Dottie Youn, Sophomore representative, Melba Miller, Senior representative, Vir- ginia Fuller, publicity chairman, Juliana Bertolaccini, poster and scrapbook chair- man, Louise Martin. , -7 1 i I .E Shown in the picture above are Beverly Schwocho, president, Reba Grant, cor- responding secretary, Miss Rose Eisen- berg, adviser, and Florence Montgom- ery, recording secretary. f i,l f .is ii Z' XX rl .f l .Mt , r A CXV The G. A. A. girls participated in a number of different activities. Swimming and basketball are pictured at the right. There were also speedball, bowling, tennis, and baseball. Each sport had its own manager. This year the man- agers were as follows: swimming, Virginia Fuller, basketball, Juanita Her- nandez, speedball, Edith Coombs, bowling, Rose Franceschi, tennis, Nancy Cannon. At the end ofthe swimming season the girls put on a swim pageant with the East Bakersfield High girls. They had a wonderful time that ended with refreshments. Most of the girls took part in several activities because in doing so they had more fun and earned more points. The more points they earned, the more awards they received. Some of the awards were a white sweater with B stripes, gold B pin and guard, and class numeral. 91 The Leaders have a great responsi- bility, for they must not only know all the rules of the games and be able to referee them, but they must also check out and bring in all equipment. The officers were Virginia Fuller, presi- dent, Connie Bauman, vice-president, Nadine Hoover, secretary, and Beverly Schwocho, treasurer. The major sports the club participated in were basketball and soft ball. Minor sports included hockey, soccer, and speed ball. Twice a year an initiation party was held to initiate the new mem- bers. One ofthe social highlights this year was the Halloween party. In future years these girls may become gym teachers in other schools and col- leges, or even right here in Kaycee. The entire Leaders group is pictured here. Siem Twenty-two girls comprised the Leaders. These girls have worked hard to attain their memberships. During third period each day they met with their adviser, Miss Hildebrand. To become a Leader one first had to have the approval of the adviser and pass the qualifications, which were natural athletic ability, knowledge of the rules for sports, a good attendance record, and no grades at any time below C. The girls were on probation for a semester. After passing this period success- fully, they were voted in by the members. The members ofthe Leaders this year were Eleanor Arvizu, Connie Bauman, Betty Beckstead, Lois Calloway, Teresa Chapman, Gladys Chappell, Barbara D ' Eda Depedrazzi, Jeanette Dilley, Dorothy Faesel, Virginia Fuller, illie Marie riffith Maxine Hall, Nadine Hoover, Roberta Kruger, Johanna Mignot, orencel Montgomery, Carol Poteete, Beverly Schwocho, Marilouise Shands and Bonnie Wilson. l , 'N , L Vvi- 93 if 4 4 st W The first year lettermen of the Big B were the fellows who had made their first letter in football, basketball, or track, The horrible week these first year lettermen endured to become full-fledged members was seemingly torture for the boys. This week was full of proposing to the girls, yelling at the top of their voices Chargel before ascending any of the stairs in school, and eating raw eggs. Then came the fatal night of the real initiation. lf the boys survived, they became Big B members, they took all of this like good sports, and nobody was really hurt. fWe hopell lt is an honor and a privilege to be a member of this letterman's society, and all the boys worked to make their letters in a variety of sports so that they could become members. 94 The large picture below includes the second and third year lettermen of the Big B. These boys together with the first year lettermen and efficient officers and adviser, Mr. Williamson, not only carried out many social activities but were of great service to the school. The Big B members willingly and capably preserved order at rallies, assemblies, and at all games. The Ludden Memorial Services were held in Ludden Hall as an annual tribute to Mr. A, J. Ludden. The Big B sport dance was declared by many to be the best of the year. Beverly Hosking reigned as queen. The booth at the Girls' League and Boys' Federation Carnival, which was sponsored by the Big B was very unusual and very popular, The diligent officers of the Big B shown in the picture below were, left to right, Warren Ramey, secretary, Mike Gombos, president, Ben Mays, treasurer, Doug Torres, stripe com- mittee chairman, Dave Head, vice-president, Don Beavers, roll call chairman, Herb Chapin, eligibility committee chairman, Bob Blalocl4,stripe committee chairman, and Joe Calvillo, sergeant-at-arms. 95 Hmmm 'fm Qzeeki Come On Wisconsin was the theme song of the noon broadcasts sponsored so thoughtfully by the Alpha Hi-Y and broadcast in Elm Grove during lunch hours.

The group hardly let a month go by without having some sort of party or entertainment. Presenting tableaux at Christmas time and giving parties for the other Y's took up a great deal of their time. This ener- getic club also did its part in the war effort, rolling bandages, helping in scrap drives, and the like. Interesting speakers added to the varied entertainment of the club.

Blues The whites were directed this year by Jack Frost and Ernest Dalbom. They imparted to the boys their knowl- edge of football and were responsible for a grand team. Marvin Ferguson was declared unable to play by his doctor the first part of the season and for that reason he played only two games, but nevertheless he was among the best first string players. His place was filled capably by Lamell Johns. Bruce St. John had an accident at the beginning of the season and was un- able to play the first few games but he did finish the season as first string halfback for the mighty Whites. Other players on the Whites were Aldrich, Arnett, Bon- ner, Bradshaw, Brotzman, Brown, Buster, Campbell, Cavillo, Edwards, Ferguson, Hilliard, Hitt, Hodges, Howard, King, Lewis, Lundquist, Mays, Miller, Nelson, Pierce, Scott, Stahl, Sumner, Vaughn, Vincent, Wer- inger, White, and Lake.

The fellows were all enthusiastic and, owing to the cooperation of each individual player on the team, the Blue Bees were in top form. They not only cooperated but they enjoyed every bit of play and showed excellent sportsmanship all through the season. According to the boys, this ability to be good sports was the thing that made their team click. Losing only one out of six games, and that by only one point, is an enviable record for any football team. But, this was the record of the Jayvee Blues! At the beginning of some of the games, the outcome looked doubtful but the boys always managed to come through with flying colors. U The players gave most of the credit to coach Jack Hill's guidance. However, he said that it would have been impossible to produce such a good team without the proper material, and the players on the Blue B team certainly met the necessary high standards. i l2l Shown above on the White Bees top row, left to right, Bob Goctschack, quarterback, Jack Ellery, left guard, Alfred Paggi, right guard.

He fielded the boys in the art of playing the game and turned out a rousing team despite the loss of three games. Composing the rest of the team this season were Barrett, Briscoe, Clause, Collins, Combs, Cross, Es- trada, Fidler, Camino, Gaulding, Little, Lovely, Lyon, Maurel, Morrison, Olmstead, Padilla, Parks, Peterson, Phillips, Purvis, Stevens, Tabor, Terrill, Thomas, Van White White White White White SCORES FOR THE SEASON Bees Bees Bees Bees Bees Blue E.B Taft E.B Blue Bees .

Their behind-the- scenes work was a real asset to the fellows during the games. The team fought valiantly and even in the most un- favorable plays, didn't lose spirit. Their enthusiasm and ability combined to make a real two-fisted, fight- ing gridiron eleven. The expert playing af Jim Cook, Murl Hume, Charlie Sarver in the backfield, and Mc- Cormick and Yeich in the line made the season successful. .,1 nu D49 Ig' l 123 i Y . gt. if-5 V- V --wx Members of the Driller team shown above are awrence Rub forward, Bruce St. John, forward, Dave Hea , , on Beavers, guard, and Charles Jasper, center. These boys, the topflighters of the casaba tossers for the Drill- ers, played faithfully and well for Kaycee Hi. Although they didn't come out on top, they showed up exceedingly well and provided audiences with enjoyable entertainment as well as with a chance to see skilled playing. Bruce St. John, Lawrence Ruby, and Don Beavers shared the honors for high-point scores, while Charles Jasper and Dave Head followed them closely. Taft took a terrific beating from our team, as did Shafter Wasco, and Delano, but East Bakersfield was invincible to all-out efforts. For a grand group of basketball players you can't beat the i945 Driller team. 124 The rest of the team was composed of Don Copp, Roy Embry, Art Adams, Alvin Wheelan, Lynn Edwards, Charles Burgess, Keith Siler, Ted Kaiser, Bill Shubin, and Jim Beck, .lim Beck left for the service, and several of the other players came out a few weeks late, but their stay on the team was marked by their skillful playing. The team was coached by our own Griff and Cap Haralson, who turned out some super bucketeers.

These boys played their positions with skill and effi- ciency and upheld the name of Kaycee Hi to a fine standard. Jones, Sarver, Kitchen and Benjamin are all of last year's Bits team and made good on the Sandabs as well. Tall Evron Barber, new to the Kaycee basket- ball schedule, gave a superior showing. Sarver, Benjamin, and Jones shared high point honors with Chapin and Whitson, leading in the reserve games to bring home the casabas. These boys were right at the top of the score pad al- most all of the season, and expect for a few slight difficulties with Delano and Taft, won their games. l 126 ,-- . . ,-l, 1 5 I 1 1 i . 1 , , Sw AJ' vf ....,..-..

The team received instruction from the capable Art Shearer. Coach Shearer had a grand group of fellows to start with and turned out an even better group of basket- ball players. His help to the team was invaluable, and they applied his teaching to the best of their ability.

The reserve players were Charlie Carney, Jim McCormick, Ralph McAllister, Larry Teter, and Jimmy Hendrick. As none of these players were seniors, the prospects for next year are very bright. The first string players will have to fight hard to keep their positions next year, for the reserves are up-and-coming players. Toi ' JJLQCLVZXJ. 128 Under the guidance of the Bits coach, Ray Scott, the first string players developed into a close system of coordination and skill, These players were Archie Parks, Dick Ellis, Don Williams, Jim Cunningham, and David Hess. These players were regarded as marvelously speedy and proved Lo give the cagers' fans many a thrill in their exciting games. Their Wasco and Delano games were close to the final quarter when the opponents rallied to clip the Bits by a very close margin.

Also on the team were Johns, John- son, Lake, Mackey, Matlock, Moore, Parker, Scott, Snyder, Stutzman, and Solomon. The team was not up to pre-war standards due to the number of boys who entered the serv- ice early in the spring semester. Nevertheless, they made a fine showing.

Elm Grove and other sunny parts ofthe campus were popular spots for the students to recline and enjoy life during their free periods. The noon broadcasts added much to relaxation. The best place to soak up a few ultra-violet rays, if the object was a good tan, was along the banks ot the old Kern River. But any back yard would do, provided there weren't too many trees. Swimming pools were also good places in which to turn Hollywood.
