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.

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

Mr. White This club was organized last year, and for the length of time it has existed it has accomplished a great deal. lt was organized to promote participation in speech activities and to stimulate school interest in the speech arts. The contests that are entered in this work include oratory, extempore speaking, and debate. The membership of this club is limited to charter members and those who have represented their school in this type of activity. The new members are selected by the old members and voted into the club, Each member purchases a bronze pin, but those who have represented the school in some official type of contest are awarded a jeweled gold S, the jewels standing for the different contests they par- ticipated in during the year, During the latter part of the second semester the Forensic Club gave their an- nual l-li Jinx Assembly. This went over with a bang and was even better than the one given last year, In the month of May the club gave a lawn party. To this they invited all the contestants and coaches of the Sierra Forensic Conference, Shafter is obtaining much favorable publicity throughout the valley for its interest in speech activity, and the Club has done what it can to stimulate this interest.
