First Semester Second Semester ERNEST SIEMENS President ERNEST SIEMENS Ros1E UNRUH Vice President ARTHUR WITTENBURG GLADYS BRECKENRIDGE Secretafry GRACE WEYAND The Shafter Chapter of the California Scholarship Federation which was organized last year, functioned very well this year under the leadership of Miss Finck. This year's club comprised ten members, which was a slight increase over last year's membership. Requirements for the club are high. Students have to make te11 points each quarter to keep in the society. An A counts three points and a B counts one point. Meetings are called whenever needed. The club raised enough money through pie sales to buy each member a C. S. F. pin, which he may wear during the time he is actually a member. Three conventions were held this year. The state convention was held at Watsonville, and the two district meetings were held at Taft and Porterville. Shafter was represented at all of the gatherings, by dele- gations accompanied by Miss Finck. Members of the club are Ernest Siemens, Rosie Unruh, Gladys Breckenridge, Arthur Wittenburg, Grace Weyand, Amanda Johnson, Elmer Dahl, Luella Dahl, Elnor Schierlmann, Lenora Kirschenmann, James Livers, and Violette Smith.

The staff has endeavored to make this book the largest and most complete issue of The Laurion yet put out at Shafter High School. Throughout the process of organizing the book many difficulties were encountered, but the staff remained enthusiastic and never abandoned its original aim. Featured in this year's Laurion are the new school life section, an enlarged sports section, and a more unique and complete activity section. Owing to the increase in the number of pages, The Laurion of 36 ' will be the largest book and the most representative we have had. The staff is proud to submit an annual of this size and our only hope is that its quality, too, will appeal to you, and that you will enjoy looking through its pages as much as We have enjoyed making it. Special thanks should be extended to our adviser, Mr. Porterfield, for his willingness to help us make this year's book a success. Special appreciation should also be given Mr. Arnold and the business staff for the financial success of this, the sixth edition of The Laurion. In our endeavor to make the book a real local product, We are, for the first time, having the book printed and bound in Shafter. Not many small communities have proper facilities for this. We regard this as another indication that Shafter is on its way. PAGE TWENTY-TWO

X .4 E . GERMAN CLUB President ---- ERNEST SIEMENS Vice President and Social Chairman - GRACE WEYAND Secretalry-Treasurer , - LI-INORA KIRSCHENMANN The German Club is one of the largest in school. Its purpose, of course, is to stimulate interest inthe language, to make class work more interesting and to bring together informally those who have German as a common interest. Under the sponsorship of Miss Finck much has been accomplished in this direction. During the meetings the members try to converse in German. At the conclusion of the business meeting they sing such favorite German songs as Die Lorelei, Du Du Liebst mir im Herzen, and Ta.nnenbaurn. A highlight of the year was a very enjoyable party held during the first emester. To intensify the German atmosphere, the refreshments were sauer kraut, wieners and buns-with pie as dessert. A standing committee of five members arranges for different activities and provides the games and refreshments for the parties. The club had many good times together and considered it a happy S and worthwhile year. PAGE TWENTY-FOUR l
