I H. E. WOODWORTH I President M. GLENN BULTMAN Clerli DONALD E. RUGGENBERG The Board of Trustees Bakersfield College is but one of the many campuses governed by the Board of Trustees of the Kern County Union High School and Junior College District. They also establish policies for the operation of the nine high schools and the extensive evening, adult educa- tion program of the district. It is through the efforts of the Board of Trustees that adequate facilities are provided for the education of citizens within the district. The board members, elected by voters of the district, pass final approval on the employment of teachers, courses of study for the schools, annual budgets, and other matters of policy and finance. To the FACE IN THE CROWD at Bakersfield College, the Board of Trustees may at first seem far removed, but the results of their devotion to the college's pro- gram are evident in the excellent educational program and facilities on this campus.

And the Vice President Dr. Simonsen makes it a point to keep communication lines open with the students. Mr. Burns Finlinson, Vice President of Bakersfield Col- lege, has identified himself thoroughly with the educa- tional and cultural interests of the community during his 14 years here. When he came to Bakersfield College, Mr. Finlinson was Director of the Veterans Guidance Center, and in 1949 he assumed the new post of Dean of Records. He was appointed to the office of Vice President in 1958. With his wife and three children, Mr. Finlinson lives on a small Garnsey Road ranch, which is reminiscent of his boyhood home in Utah. There, in his spare time, he enioys listening to good music and reading. From Brigham Young University he received his Bache- lor and Master of Science degrees. Also, he travelled throughout the maior countries of the world aboard the University Afloat, which proved to be a most enioyable and instructive period of travel and study. Mr. Finlinson gained his first experience in college work as the Dean of Men and as Chairman of the Social Science Department at the College of Southern Utah in Cedar City.
