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
