With The Assistance And Cooperation Of The H E Woodworth Chester W O'Neill Donald E. Ruggenberg President Clerk midfricf .fgclnzinififrafom lt requires an understanding and far-sighted Board of Trustees to establish policies for the opera- tion of the nine high schools, Bakersfield College, and extensive adult education program included in the Kern County Union High School and Junior College District. The board has shown sound judge- ment and understanding in solving the complex problems that have faced them. These problems include providing adequate school facilities for an enrollment in the District which has jumped from 8,700 regular day stu- dents in the fall of 1948 to more than l5,000 in the fall of 1958, approval of the course of study for the member schools, and the adoption of the annual operating budget for the District. Bakersfield College gives recognition to Mr. H. E. Woodworth, president of the board, who is go- ing into his twentieth year of membership, and to Mr. Chester W. O'Neill, who is now in his eighteenth year of service on the board. ln giving this recognition, appreciation is tendered not only to the two gentlemen.mentioned but to the entire board for the service rendered the community and the college.

The ibeand Cll'1Cl ibirecford Administrative Policy DR THOMAS MERSON ,.4 , Dean of Instruction Administrative policy has many facets and affects all areas of the college's operation. The responsibility of see- ing that the policy is carried out and evaluating its effect lies primarily with the Deans. This is not a simple problem as the procedures established in many of the areas will affect all others. Consequently, a good deal of coordina- tion is needed to carry this out efficiently and without con- fusion. The smooth transition and growth of the college testifies to the ability of these various offices to operate harmoniously and with desired results. Many of the basic decisions are made in the Adminis- trative Committee which is composed of the Deans, Direc- tors, Vice-President, and President of Bakersfield College.
