CCMMERCIAL CLUB Officers President . . , , . . Jack White Vice President . . , Bill Lachenmaier Secretary-Treasurer . . Erma Wendland Adviser .i.....,.. lvlr, Arnold This is the third year for the Commercial Club and is believed this is the most important year for outstanding accomplishments since itls organization, The club has been very active this year, having held regular monthly meetings during the activity period. lt has been completely reorganized and a nevv constitution adopted. Members must maintain high scholarship in order to retain their membership, lt is felt that this is necessary to attain best results. A better understanding of commercial problems and the promotion of the best interests of the students are among the objectives of this club, There is also the desire for a closer tie-up with Bakersfield .lunior College, especially with the terminal courses. This is accomplished in part through the Commercial department's polcy of treating the courses offered as vocational subjects taught for their practical use. Naturally there is a carry-over into the Commercial Club of these aims. To further the program of business research, speakers have given talks to the club on business conditions and subjects pertinent to commercial work. Two out- standing and instructive talks were given this year. Mr. Ward Watson, Trust Officer of the Bank of America, spoke on the subject, Banks, and their value to the com- mun.ty. lvlr. W. B. White, of the high school faculty, talked on foreign exchange and business conditions as personally observed and experienced on a summer European trip. The club has an active membership of over forty and is probably one of the strongest organizations ot its kind to be found in any high school of this size. Page Tvventy six

EL CLUB ESPANOL Officers President .... .... R uth Kirschenmann Vice President , , . . lvlonna Latta Secretary and Treasurer . , Willie Steele Adviser .4... , Miss Sullivan Pieces of Eight and a Spanish treasure huntl It was a Spanish treasure hunt all right, but pieces of eight weren't the prize, lt was a box of marshmallows, and when the hunters got there, they found it had walked off, lt was later found in the bushes and rather empty. ln spite of no dessert, the hunters all got their fill on weiners and buns, The feature of the evening was probably the rush of twenty hilarious treasure hunters right through the room where play practice was going on. Of course they were searching for a clue, During two of the club's meetings lVlr, White and Mr, l.atta gave interesting talks on their vacations. Mr.. White has journeyed in Europe, principally Germany, and told the class about his experiences, the customs of the German people, and the geography of the country. Mr, l.atta made a month's trip down to Mexico. He gave the class a good idea of the history of the country, its conditions, and its people. Toward the end of the year the club gave a pot luck supper for the members. Spanish macaroni was the main dish, and did it disappearl You might have thought they had never seen macaroni before. All in all, the Spanish club, one of the outstanding clubs of the school, has had a most successful year. 1 Page Twenty five

S. F. gave the students on the honor roll a party. That was the time they played musical chairs and lvlr. Wilson ottered to be it, and wanted to know it he had to catch somebodyl Later they had an initiation party tor the new members. They attended the district convention at Bakersfield in the tall. Quite a num- ber ot the members were able to go, accompanied by Miss Finck, Eight members also attended the regional convention at San Mateo All schools ot central California were represented in this convention, Shatter having a comparatively large delegation, Next year the regional convention will be held in Fresno, so we hope that even a larger group can attend then, A group attended the spring district convention in Tulare, Those students who are lite members and will receive the C, S, F. Lite lvlember- ship award are Gladys Breckenridge, Elnor Frances Schierlmann, and Rosie Unruh. Thcy have been in the C S.
