THE PRINCIPAL' S MESSAGE VERY student of the Kern County Union High School should look with pride on the growth and development of our high school in the past ten years. During that time we have changed from a small school to one of the larger ones of the state, being the largest high school between Stockton and Los Angeles. The Board of Trustees has been at all times awake to the greatest needs of the schoolg the faculty has endeavored to keep a schol- astic standard that compares favorably with the best schools in California, and the spirit of the student body has become one of complete co-operation for the good of the school. The growth from a small school to a large one has brought particular problems for the student body. The Senior class has on its shoulders a much greater responsibility for the general spirit of the school than it would have in a small school. With a fine spirit of loyalty and a thoughtful consideration for appearances, the Senior class can and does set the tone for the whole student body in all affairs. Leaders change each year and one sometimes wonders if the next year's group will measure up to the pastg but I believe I will be safe in saying that so far the student officers and school leaders have always measured up to the standard set by past classes in every respect. This year is no exception, and in all our activities we have made an enviable record. Particularly in dra- matics, debating, and other literary pursuits our standard has im- proved over the past years. In athletics we have maintained the same spirit of fair play and hard competition that has marked our teams in the past. Our student body officers have worked hard and faithfully at their tasks and have acquitted themselves well. I cannot let this opportunity go by without a special word of appreciation to the faculty for their fine co-operation with the students in all things for the betterment of the school. Particu- lar I wish to thank Miss Bird and Mr. VanderEike for their excel- lent work. With, co-operation such as we have had from the board of trustees, the faculty, and the student body, we may all look forward to the maintenance of the same quality of work as we have had in the past.

The thought that comes to my troubled mind Is what does life mean to all mankind. What is this life? Shall we ever know The reason for man's passing to and frog With the centuries coming and going, Living and dying, and never knowing? Does life mean, just trouble and care, An aching heart, and burdens to bearg Or, just drifting, where we d0n't know, Like the ocean tides that come and go? Is there a reason for this world of strife, Have we lessons to learn in this short lifeg Lessons we need that the Father can see As we drift along through eternity? EARLY SPRING MORNING By MARCELLA DORSEY Winner of Second Place in County Contest The leaves of the trees are falling greeng The soft, lazy twitter of birds fills the airy There's a cool, fresh smell of new-turned earth And of flowers still pearly with dew. The blue of the violets is pure and darkg The heart of the rose drops tears of joyg The soft, droning sound of the bee is heardg Over all smiles the calm, blue sky. l ' lLliEll'3l2il!!!!!'

Eval!-, . faculty who have given us advice and assistance, all fellow stu- dents who have aided us in our efforts, and our advertisers who nave co-operated with us. We have tried to make this year's book one of the best that has ever been published by the school, to give an accurate account and equal space to all activities, which have taken place in the school during the year of 1924-25, and to provide a book , which will always keep the affairs of Bakersfield High forever in the visions ofthe graduating class of 1925. We do not like to shout so very much, but getting out an annual is no snap, and the worries are many. All that we ask is that each and every one of you when passing judgment upon the book will con- sider the hard work and time which has been spent in producing the different departments of the Oracle. The members of the staff have worked faithfully and earnestly and have given their best toward the 1925 publication. BERNARD ELY, Editor in Chief BQ 6',5 ,I mmm Qgigf S F I' wml j 131.

Business Manager Second Semester ITH the largest enrollment in the journalistic class since the founding of the weekly paper, the Blue and White, has with the increased number of reporters and an efficient staff, had a very successful year. The aim of the writers has been to make a bigger and better paper and the staff feels that with the cooperation of the Student Body they have accomplished their object. The general appearance of the paper this term was improved by changing the make-up from a four to a five-column sheet. Several special editions were issued this year, notable of which were the Freshmen green, football, Big B and April Fool numbers. The following reporters were responsible for the various stories which appeared each week: Zuleika Bradford, Pearl Brite, Dorothy Chenoweth, Francis Clark, Dorothy Crites, LeClair Davis, Virginia Ferguson, Owen McCarthy, John Pearson, William Powell, Elsie Bynum, Mae Seager, Robert Daggett and Scholar Bangs. Special Writers included: Donald Galbraith, librarian, Theo Har- der, sport writerg Bernard Ely and Earl Shaw. WL N b K 6, 4 I 1 ,'n'1' TJ Z, 5 ! fEm nw mm.zx ' l I ' Jai -lfdwlu 2 L sign g E Q.

PURE BRED SQUEALS HE third important publication of Kern County High School is the Pure Bred Squealsj' the ten-page monthly pamphlet issued by the Boys' Agriculture Club. The mailing list of the Ag. de- partment's magazine has been increased to 2000 copies and each edition specializes in the personal experiences of Ag. Club members. This is the fifth year that the boys have published their activities and under the editor, John Carter, the pamphlet this term has had the largest circulation in its history. The local club has the distinction of being the first in the San Joaquin valley to publish their activities in a series of special articles in monthly editions and the paper has helped the Kern county club to become known not only by the local farmers but by those residing in other counties of the state. At the close of school the club publishes a special bulletin in addi- tion to Pure Bred Squealsf' This summary includes a complete re- view of their annual activities and stories and pictures by the winners of the various contests held throughout the year. This year over 3000 copies of the Ag. annual were placed in the mails. fl li . vfaztzgk Ni?J .,. u. r 1-fri 411 all X553 X i W 1l','f.Q'xJ Ln 1 I ' 3522.

THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING HAT is there in the Administration Building of the Kern County Union High School? Well, there are-halls. Yes, to many there are just halls for passing from one class to an- other, for conversation and for posting and reading notices on the bulletin board. But there are also the two offices-important parts, eh? In the main office Mr. H. A. Spindt, principal, and Miss Grace Bird, vice-principal, with the aid of Miss Frieda Weichelt, secretary, and Miss Anna Steele, assistant, control the scholarship. In the at- tendance office Mr. Paul VanderEike, vice-principal, with Miss Flor- ence Mattley's help, takes charge of all those absent and tardy people. Marching down the hall one sees rooms to the left and to the right in which most of the academic studies of the school are taught. It is here that the heads of many departments are situated, including D. M. Griffith, of mathematics, M. F. Wilcox, of English, Miss Ruth Heil, of art, Miss Grace Bird, of French, Mrs. H. S. Craig, of Latin, F. L. Ryan, of history, and Miss Ethel Robinson, of dramatics. On the second floor is the large study hall. The desks look cross as they think of the hundreds of restless students that they must endure every day. Joining this hall is the library, which contains 4000 books for high school students and faculty use and which is under the supervision of Mrs. Helen Craig. is Q HU IEWHI 4.7 4 K J ' i f .mv H Al - - ' 'T I .

Ludden, well loved principal of our school, who passed away at an untimely hour after inspiring into the faculty, the student body, and even the buildings themselves the finest type of school spirit, school interest and loyalty that any great educational plant, such as ours, could ever hope to have. It is only one of the large buildings which he had hoped for and which has now become a reality, but it will always be a symbol of the man who forever will remain as a guiding hand with his great prin- ciples which can never help but stand supreme on the campus. The most notable feature of the work in this building is the mod- ern bungalow which has been established by the domestic science classes of the school. Every modern convenience one could possibly think of is installed in this bungalow and work here is a real pleasure. The exhibits from the departments located here have always been awarded the highest prizes, with the canned fruits, hats and dresses, and other general domestic science work attracting attention wher- ever they are shown. English and French classes are also located here under the direc- tion of Miss Mentzer, Miss Peairs, and Miss Ritchie. The domestic science classes are supervised by Miss Siemon, Miss Chenoweth, Miss Smith and Miss T. DeMots. ff' 5 jf A l'ai.'vllEl..i-ant' H it f f'Gmu ml nlln3.zi.

The efficient and well arranged laboratories and class rooms for both high school and junior college classes in all lines of science work has been a great aid to the students as well as the instructors in making the science course one of the most interesting diversions in the school's schedule. The chemistry classes were under the direction of R. E. Vivian and H. E. Likely and the course as a whole proved to be the most interesting ever given in the science department. The biology classes were in charge of R. D. Harwood and many interesting trips for spec- imens of plants, animals and insects were enjoyed by the students. A. L. Peterson and H. L. Bauer instructed the general science classes and several trips were made to industrial plants in the city, including the ice plant and telephone office. The physic classes taught by George Sagen as usual had a large enrollment. The annual trip to the Mojave desert, which is made by boys of the science department under the supervision of Mr. Vivian, included a longer period of time this year than in any previous trips and was unanimously declared to be the most successful and interesting ever taken. . 6 Eli I Q ' gi ' 21,Q.'i-lglgrigi' F V .IPwr.-,.'.l4k,.,Hl1w,u,:. 1 -1 o 1 - V' THE OLD BUILDING LD BUILDING! What a memory it brings to the Seniors. The commercial department is located here and many are the days we'Ve spent here, tapping at the typewriters or perhaps tried our luck at shorthand or bookkeeping. Many thoughts may also turn back to the good old days when we studied penmanship or struggled through an arithmetic or English course. Within this building is located the cafeteria, where many of us have gathered with the faculty at the noon hour to appease our hun- ger. The good fellowship of the students waiting in the long line to be served will always remain in our vision of K. C. High. The cool green grass surrounding the building under the shade of the old elm trees was one of our favorite spots of relaxation during the warm days of the school term. It is here that many of our class and club parties were enjoyed. Best of all though the Old Building is dear to the Seniors because it was the first building of our ever growing high school and the be- ginning of our great educational plant. f 5, I 'WK L- ' ill lulell lrliil-' T 1' Al 4 ii-E5 ' V I' . i l.'u'1lhL,i Hlunuum I? 1 -'I i l . wigii I'- AUDITORIUM HE biggest part of the auditorium building is the auditorium itself. but it isn't big enough yet for the students of Kern County Union High School. Some of them, at one time or another, have known how it feels to be an outsiderg one class has to be removed from the hall at each assembly. Under the supervision of Mr. Harold Burt, the band boys and orchestra use this auditorium. Here they can make as much noise as they like without disturbing the other students. Of course, it's always a temptation to listen to them and to their strains of music which float out of the class room. Besides the instrumental organizations, every morning first period, under the direction of Miss Hildegard Hansen and Miss Isabel Forker, the Girls' and the Boys' Glee Club, respectively, gaily sing with might and main. Those clubs have good times both in and out of school. The other rooms in the Auditorium Building are given over to the study of foreign languages and U. S. history.

In the first there are five branches: Two wood shops, one for advanced students and one for beginners, a forge, a radio con- struction shop, a farm mechanics, and pattern making shop, which has a foundry in connection with it. Five instructors are employed in this building. The second and newest building has besides the trans- portation and supply departments, three branches: The auto, machine, and electrical instruction shops. The work in this building requires four more of the faculty. The old building is well equipped, but the new one is rated as being one of the best if not the best in the entire state. It cost over one hundred thousand dollars and its furnishings about thirteen thou- sand. A number of new tools and several machines were also installed in the older departments of the course. The advanced woodshop students have been a source of great help to the school, saving a considerable amount of money which other- wise would have been spent in buying many articles which the shop has been able to turn out. Jumping standards, hurdles and play scen- ery helped to reduce the cost of running our school. fl li 3 o v,-153 I fistsizdm. Y ' 3iQf9.lmQi5Z' Q -1 Z .

With the Agriculture Build- ing of class rooms, laboratories and offices as a center and one hundred fifty high school boys and girls carrying on club work at their homes, the department is making itself felt as an institution for better agriculture all over Kern County. The club work consists in raising either two feeder pigs, a quarter- acre of potatoes, a hundred baby chicks, a pure-bred calf, a pure-bred dairy cow, a pure-bred brood sow and her litter of pigs, a pen of two dozen laying hens, an eighth-acre of nursery, or for girls a thousand gladioli bulbs. A student deciding to care for any one of the above joins the club and grows his own crop at home, thus making a demon- stration of good agriculture for his or her own community. To January 1, 1925, the Boys' Club members had borrowed from the local banks as capital for their operations S23,135.00, and have paid off 820,076.00 of this indebtedness. The average loan to a club mem- ber is 2 p50.00. I ' will can lngagi S Al V I' . fr.'..'.l !A,,Hl:m1.s.:l Tl i vii-lit F' GYMNASIUM The Gym! Who isn't familiar with its walls, its instructors, and its equipment! It offers the only period of the day where mental efforts may cease for refreshing physical gymnastics. No wonder many of us want two periods a day in this building. In the spring the sports that occupy the girls' time are those of tennis, swimming, interclass baseball, while association football is played during the first semester. Track during the last few months is taken up with gusto by the girls. The boys go out for basketball, baseball, track, football, swimming, and boxing. Gym classes are also held in this building by the night school and the Owls excel in the same number and variety of sports as do the day students. The main floor of the gym. is used by all school clubs and classes for dances and parties and if the walls could talk they would tell of many a gay and brilliant evening there. The instructors in charge of the classes in this building are: Miss DeMotts, Miss Churchman, Miss Law, Mr. Dalbom and Mr. Haralson. fl - 11 6 , iii 1, - ' 4' ' li'ldn'ul3l!?3?il' F V ,f v'll,'l-'ilIJl,1HlkllLlll.5i il I iii. if-4 I 'Q I T H E S T A D I U M After years of playing on various fields about town, including Rec- reation Park and the fair grounds, our stadium and athletic field was completed September, 1923, and dedicated soon after its completion to the man who has been the outstanding star of all teams and the one who stands above all others in placing Bakersfield on the athletic map, Coach Dwight M. Griffith. Griffith Field includes a track, gridiron, basketball courts, and a stadium, which seats 3000 people and whose cost totals over 2B40,000. The inside of the stadium has dressing rooms and showers for the local boys and separate dressing rooms and showers for the visiting team. Perhaps the most wonderful sight of all is to see from a distance the entire stadium filled with Bakersfield rooters. Everyone seems moving. More and more people crowd in when there seems no place to put them and yet they find seats and make room for others. Then the game is on-the awful stillness that precedes the kick-off, followed by hoarse shouts and screams of excitement. Many a time has the stadium seen combinations of smiles, tears, happiness and sadness, and has often been a seething whirlpool of human fans. Seventeen games have been witnessed from this structure, only two of which were lost. The field has also served as an ideal spot for our practice and league track meets and baseball games.

The review was the first attempt by the athletic society to stage a dramatical pro- duction and the show resulted in such a complete success that a simi- lar entertainment will in all p1'obability become an annual affair The generous applause which followed each curtain as it rose and fell, each time revealing some delightful musical, dance or comedy number, was sufficient evidence that the townspeople who many times before had cheered the athletic stars at Griffith Field. Lf fi' 6' X 5' ' Fualgmaa' ti ' I-,I-1,71 'imluhlm llltlia 3 iw -1 ings I THE BOOMERANG LAYING to a highly appreciative and somewhat select audience on the evenings of December 18 and 19, The Boomerang, the annual Student Body play, scored a tremendous hit. The event was a brilliant triumph for the director, Miss Ethel Robinson, as it marked the beginning of her second season of plays since coming to this school two years ago. One cannot recall so charming a play of recent years in which there is such a wealth of subtle humor and funny situations with characters that really develop as the action passes from climax to climax. With such a well-woven play as a background the youthful actors gave a performance that was in no way devoid of inspiration. The plot concerns a love-sick youth, one Budd Woodbridge, and his quest for a cure through medical aid. His doctor, Gerald Sumner, upon prescribing a remedy for his patient becomes a victim of his own modern methods, almost costing him his pretty nurse, whom he has learned to love and who has been reluctant to accept his beliefs on love only to find herself in the same predicament young Woodbridge had been. Frank Hubbard as Dr. Gerald Sumner gave a sincere and finished portrayal. His comedy scenes with his patient and those with his nurse, Virginia Xelve, were perfectly played, especially the one with Miss Xelva in which he discusses his philosophy of love much to the amazement of the audience. Marjorie Work was a delightful Miss Xelva. Earl Shaw made Woodbridge, above all, a human being, a part that might have been easily over or under played. His handling of the part was skillful and convincing. Emma Crites was the Grace Tyler, the lady-love of young Woodbridge. Miss Crites gave a finely conceived interpretation of an unsympathetic role. The parts of Mrs. Woodbridge, mother to Budd, and Marion Sum- ner, sister of the doctor, were effectively played by Dorothy Cheno- weth and Geraldine Peacock. Miss Chenoweth carried with delicate fineness the part of an elderly woman. Others in the cast who did exceptionally good work were: Mar- garet Seager as Gertrude Ludlow, William Powell as Mr. Stone, Milton Phinney as Preston de Witt, James Paddock as Hartley, and Francis Osborne as Emile. Lois Walker, Alice Arp, Gertrude Lynch, Hazel Hymer, Maurice Van Osdel, Francis Clark, Bob Caffee, Leon Selby and William Lyons appeared as guests at the Woodbridge home. x x '..x, 5 fd na.-tmgmaau E f 'Ig MEM' QI . wig-ist Y f THE SENIOR PLAY X AB, a four-act farce comedy, was presented on the evenings of May 8 and 9 by the class of '25 as the annual Senior play, and was one of the most amusing and artistic productions local audi- ences have ever witnessed in the high school auditoriumf The play, which is a dramatization of Mary Roberts Rhinehart's famous novel, Bab, by Edward Childs Carpenter, is filled with action and sparkling humor and the able cast directed by Miss Ethel Robinson did full justice in holding the complete attention of the audience which assem- bled to laugh at the joys and sorrows of that adorable little Bab. There was a certain charm and originality about the comedy which helped to distinguish it from all previous productions ever attempted by the graduating students. Miss Geraldine Peacock, in the leading role of Bab, gave a won- derful interpretation of the delightful, mischievous young lady who wanted to grow up. Miss Peacock's talent was fully shown in this role and she presented a typical young girl of the modern age in a realistic, graceful and fully creditable manner. Francis Clark shared first honors with Miss Peacock in the suc- cess of the play, when he gave a distinguished interpretation of a wealthy Englishman, Beresford. His role was perhaps the outstand- ing part of the entire comedy and his impression as a just so Britain was perfect. His consistent poise and self-possession did in every detail correspond to the character role which he portrayed. As Lelia, Bab's older sister, Miss Pearl Karpe, as the proud and catty society debutante gave a touch of ingenious acting in an un- sympathetic part. Miss Fern Ferguson as Jane Raleigh, the confi- dential friend of Bab, performed her role in a most delightful manner. She made the most of her comedy moments with Bab and Eddie Per- kins, the youthful next-door neighbor, played by Billie Powell, who did exceptionally good work as a boyhood lover of Bab. Frank Hubbard, who played the leading role in the student body production, The Boomerang, repeated his professional ease as Carter Brooks, when he played opposite Miss Peacock. The difficult parts of Mr. and Mrs. Archibald, which were handled by Charles Oldershaw and Miss Evelyn Mickelberry, were creditably filled and did much in adding to the full measure of the play's success. Howard Galbraith did good work as Guy Grosvenor and Josephine Wiley and Robert Conklin, who acted the parts of Hannah and Will- iams, servants in the Archibald home, performed in a pleasing manner. . 6 Eli S.

The Senior assembly was an original comedy dealing with negroes and grave yards, doctors and corpses. The plot of the stunt was well carried out and the play as a whole proved very interesting. The characters were: The hero, Earl Shaw, the heroine, Shirley Nigh- bertg the heroine's father, Doc Sawbones, Phil Wagyg Mose, the negro janitor, Francis Osborne. The Junior assembly was acknowledged the hit of the year with the boys of the- class of '26 staging a regular girls' chorus in the nature of a beauty concert, with Harry Bruno, class president, offer- ing the following to be judged by the student body: Dolly and Molly, an original dancing pair, Jimmie Fisher and Harry Smith, the incomparable Fanny in a butterfly dance, Donald Galbraith, and last, a chorus of six dancing girls reported as being straight from the follies: The Sophomore assembly was a presentation of Macbeth written in present day slang by Morris Chain. The skit was so original in nature that even Shakespeare would have acknowledged that his cen- tury old lines had been given a proper touch for the present day of Jazz. The Freshmen assembly as usual proved to be one of the best of the school year and quite unusual in character. The first was a panto- mime play and was quite realistic in nature, especially with the hero using flat irons to press the hand of the heroine. The second event was a one-act play entitled Burglars. MUSIC DEPARTMENT CONCERT OMETHING new was added to our dramatical productions this year when the combined sections of the music- department presented on the evening of April 24, a high class musical concert in place of the annual operetta and glee club show. The program was a well bal- anced arrangement of selections, which faithfully displayed the time and care which the instructors have used in training K. C.'s musicians. 'ILT - Rf!

This is benehcial, both to the student, and the school. To the student, because it enables one to work up through the entire course, to the school, because it helps to maintain a full orchestra. The organization this term was larger than any within the history of the school, consisting' of over thirty members, and as a result we have enjoyed better music than ever before. The orchestra as usual played at all school plays, including' student body, the junior college, and senior, besides appearing in assembly, giving a concert at Wasco High School, and many other school activ- ities. To Il. J. llurt, director of the orchestra and head of the music department, goes the greatest credit for the splendid showing' of the organization, for only through constant work and time has he been able to produce such harmony and perfection.

With Mr. Burt as the director the band grows larger and better each year and he is to be com- plimented on the splendid advancement of the organization which was accomplished only by hard work and lots of time and effort. The band had numerous engagements this year and was invaluable as an advertising unit of the school and Bakersfield. Among its most important appearances were: The realtors caravan at the Masonic Temple, the Armistice Day parade, local football games, and several local concerts. The school can easily boast of one of the best organized bands in the state high schools with a total of thirty-eight pieces, consisting of nine cornets, three melophones, five trombones, two tubas, five per- cussion, seven clarinets, five saxophones and one baritone. fl I' S 'X lung ' R ll -ll' lk R17 , FF :WW 'J ,A l V f I W rf ff XAJW JI! 1 1 ,MIM Milf 5 WIN 'WMI f Z Wd l X X Wd f A S X 7 f ff, ,if 1 , 4 fy ,X ff ,Vx X X X 4 N U2 1 ig If 5 2 P! as fi Si -A a P: E S 3 .

BURUM ..........................................................,...................... Class Advisor INCE we were the oldest and most important class in the school it is no wonder we have excelled in dramatics, athletics, and scholastic activities. In class spirit, co-operation and activities, we have been as one big unit, striving to be foremost in the school. And it is quite evident that we have succeeded. We started the year right by putting on an informal dance, and even if we do say it, ours was the most original dance of the year. In dramatics, we have surpassed every class, many important roles in each student body production being filled by Seniors. The Senior play was a huge success and our stunt in assembly was one of the most clever ones presented this year. The members of the class of '25 have distinguished themselves in each and every school undertaking throughout their four years. To the present and future lower classmen who yet have the opportunity to make a similar record, we hope that the history and chronicle of the Senior class of 1925, will be a beacon of light, guiding their class safely into the port of honor and accomplishment. Now as a farewell to old Kern County High, we, the graduating class of this year, leave your honor in the hands of future classes and may they strive to uphold your standard and name as high as the Seniors of '25, FRESHMEN CLASS OFFICERS GLEN LINIJQUIST ..........,..................................................,.,...,...........

Class Advisor ITH the closing of our third year, we, the Junior class, can look back on our preceding terms and be proud of the splendid rec- ord which we have made and which proclaims its superiority in all branches of school activities. Although defeated by the Sophomore class for the interclass de- bating honors we have the distinction of having triumphed over the Seniors in the first debate of the year. In football our class was rep- resented by several stars on both the lightweight and heavyweight teams, and basketball, baseball, and track have- also boasted many Junior heroes. Our dance was pronounced by all to be one of the best of the sea- son and the stunt the class of '26 pulled off in assembly was equally successful. To lend our aid to all school affairs several of our mem- bers filled important roles in student body dramatic productions. With this record, we are sure to make the best class of Seniors next year that K. C. has ever produced!

S ecretary-Treasurer FTER starting the year right by overwhelmingly defeating the Frosh in the annual rally, we gave them another set-back in de- bating, and then defeated the Juniors for the interclass debating honors. Thus for the first time in several years our class has the credit of having Sophomore students names engraved on the Virginia Brundage cup. We have fared well in dramatics, since one of the leading roles in the student body play was filled by a member of the class of '27, and several of the year's best football players were Sophomores. Our dance more than fulfilled expectations and the stunt we put on in assembly showed we had not lost any of our dramatic ability from the year before. 4' -. 6 fl f f f n.x.'.4mrmu..-aw H 1 V If f'n...llk,,lll.n.u..'

In addition to sup- porting all school athletics, it sponsored several social affairs. The first was staged in the early part of the term when a huge cord dance was given in the gymnasium. On January 20 the Big B ban- quet at Sam Brice's officially closed the football season and was at- tended by one of the largest crowds in the history of the club. The members tried something entirely new and original this year when the Riots of 1924, a musical comedy, was presented before one of the largest crowds in the auditorium this year. The play, which was written by one of the members, Morris Chain, was the first time the club had attempted anything along the line of dramatics and because of its huge success the Big B will probably make it an annual show. ' The biggest event of all, though, was the yearly sport dance the society gave on May 29 as a climax to the activities of the year. The members of the Big B have now increased in enrollment until there are 58 active fellows carrying on the club spirit. Initiation was held for twenty-seven of these members in Kern River Canyon at the close of the football season. At this time Coaches Davis, Haralson and Dalbom were made honorary members. - This organization was founded in 1909 by the advisor, Griff, and is composed entirely of athletes who have distinguished themselves in some sport in school. Its purpose is to promote interest in scholar- ship, school citizenship, and athletics. The club has assumed the re- sponsibility of keeping flowers on the Ludden Memorial in Ludden Hall and the rest of the student body should give the members a vote of thanks for their mark of respect to our former principal. 'From the year's activities the club believes it has just closed one of the most interesting and successful terms with in its history. i'I ---- - Vi li I .I gf 1 5 - ' ' ' linmllglgqagg' S r l ,'1 p !

Banquets at the end of each semester and chow mein feeds at the close of each meeting helped to give the organization further interest.

Each member completing one of these contests, which usually lasts about four months, is given one-fourth credit toward graduation. The business of the club has been carried on in a large scale, since 323,150 has been loaned to the club by the local banks in the past six years. The aggressiveness of the club members is shown by the fact that all but S3000 of these loans has been paid back.

Another interesting activity which was conducted during one month was a contest between the boys and girls to see which could have the greatest number of feature stories in the weekly paper. The girls, who were the losers, entertained the boys at an 8 o'clock breakfast at the French cafe. The society, with Mark F.

Manuel Avila was a success as Ambrose Applejohn, the versatile hero who changes from a bored English gentleman to a swashbuckling pirate. Miss Eleanor Stephens decidely won her audience as Poppy Faire, the pretty heroine. As a villianous Russian Nobleman and a scheming pirate, Ralph Beckes, as Ivan Borolsky, was the cat's quack. Miss Helen Dennis handled her difficult role like a professional. Miss Dennis appeared as Anna Valeska, a Russian countess, and as a fiery Portugese captive on the pirate craft. Mike Carnakis did some good work in the dual role of Horace Pen- gard, His first appearance was as a Hindooe spiritualist, then as a Chinese bosun, and finally as an English crook. Miss Bernice Platt, as Mrs. Pengard, portrayed the part of a lady crook, who with her husband, sought the treasure. Other who added to the success of the play were Miss Marian Burt, Norman Applegarth, Orval Adams, Marian Mack and Chris Freeman. Members of the pirate crew were V. Vanderhoof, F. Wat- son, R. Laird, F. McMillan, V. Nicholsggffi' Thompson and L. Pryor. The play will be long remembereii' as a dramatic achievement on the part of Miss Ethel Robinson, who was directly responsible for its success. John Lynch designed and painted the scenery. Miss Virginia Arp was responsible for the costumes and Miss Rowena Hoisington had the nerve-racking job of providing the properties. Captain Applejack drew the best audiences of the year which helped immensely in getting the J. C. out of debt. , 6 , I 2-mp: X X ' Al' ' HiEQl2!l!t3! L5 F f , 'El,g,,il uilL1m3 I -I 7 2 'vigia - TEAM PERSONNEL CAPT. CHRIS FREEMAN, F. B.-Chris Freeman was invaluable to his team. Originally a linesman, Freeman was placed in the back- field, where his savage attacks and unbeatable defensive work made him the outstanding player on the team. GEORGE NEWBURY, H. B.-Through his fight alone, George Newbury could make any college team in the state. Beside his terrific line plunging ability, George had an uncanny football sense, which enabled him to call practically every one of the opposing team's plays. TED BEATTY, H. B.-Although experienced, this was Beatty's first year as a backfield man. A sensational broken field runner, a reliable tackler, and a consistent passer, sums up Ted's part in Rene- gade football activities. MORRIS CHAIN, Q.-What Morrie, the plucky quarter-back, lacked in size and weight, he made up with speed and fight. Morrie handled his Renegades wisely and well. ROBERT HARRIS, R. E.-Bob could always be depended on to make any game interesting by his pass-snagging ability and by his never-failing, spectacular tackling. Bob also held the lightweight boxing championship of the team. GORDEN BRITE, R. G.- Brute Brite was easily the most con- sistent player on the team. For sheer grit, for defensive work, and 'X 5 L5 U!eI'9llmu'!!C3Qk' 5 .1 V T' . ,,'f rpr..'.lmlmlEi5I I 'V . vigira for getting down on punts, Brite was incomparable. DAVID LAIRD, L. T. -Dave was a good dependable player. Throughout the hard season, the manner in which Dave handled his tackle position won for him the respect of his team-mates. TED MCCAIN, R. T.-For his size, Ted was the fastest and foxiest man on the line. The height of imagination would be to picture an opposing team gaining yards through McCain's tackle position. MARVIN CROSS, C.-Although a brand new man, Marvin by hard work developed into a reliable center. His steady, hard playing made ,him invaluable to his team. RAVEY STANLEY, L. G.-Injured in the Fresno State game, the Renegades were deprived, for most of the season, of a very valuable linesman, in Pavey Stanley. ' MIAKECARNAKIS, L. E.-Though this was Mike's first year out, he overcame his lack of experience and size, and earned himself a berth on the first string. TED BROWN, L. E.-Grit constitutes three' fourths of the rc- quirements of a football player. Ted had about three times as much as he needed. Ted was hurt in the Fresno State game while making a head-on tackle, and was kept out of the line-up for some time. ORVAL ADAMS, L. E.-Orval, who was hurt in the Taft game, was another good man, the services of whom the Renegades were deprived of because of injuries. it .1.c. FOOTBALL SEASON HE RENEGADE football team of the past season was the strong- estvthat has ever represented the local J. C. on the gridiron. Dur- ing the season, the Renegades, under the tutorship of Coach F. L. Ryan and his assistant, Gervase Brown, won three games, lost three, and played two ties. The squad was small, but with hard work the team developed so fast that the Renegades gave Fresno State, holder of the Minor College championship, the toughest game of the latter's season. The team started the season by dropping a close game to the strong Strathmore eleven. In the opening minutes of play, a Rene'- gade back fumbled on Strathmore's five yard line, and one of the olive pickers picked up the ball and streaked ninety-five yards to a touchdown. This was the only score of the game, the olive pickers failing to convert. it K fr 3 4 H -if gl ? l'l..l'i-lnffdlglthhf' 5 F r I ', l,'.ll ,,.ll.n.,u.z.4 Fl J' r I vi.. i. -1 Q F' On the Saturday following the game with Strathmore, the Rene- gades journeyed to Tulare, where they played a scoreless tie with the Redskins. All the officials were Tulare men and it seemed that they were possessed with an over-supply of the home spirit. Beatty scored on a blocked kick in the opening minutes of play only to have the ball brought back to receive a penalty. Several times Chain would maneuver his men to the very shadows of the goal posts and then have a penalty set them back again. Next week, the Bib Club took an excursion to Taft. After white- washing the home town shieks from every angle of the field, the Ren- egades left with the large end of a horn, size, 13 to 0. This was the first game in which the backfield functioned properly. The drives of Freeman, Beatty and Harris tore the Taft line to shreds. V, ' The big game with Fresno State College, our old rival, on October 26, was the big game of the local schedule. Fresno was termed vic- torious only after one of the most stubborn battles ever seen on the local field. The Raisin Pickers scored on a fluke forward pass and a field goal from the 45-yard line. The two teams were evenly matched. Though much heavier and experienced, the champions were unable to make any gain through the Renegade line. A fortnight later, the Big Club entertained the California Poly team on Griffith Field. The Southerners proved too weak for the Renegades, who, smarting under their defeat at the hands of Fresno, fought like caged lions. However, Fate frowned again, and on November 11, the Renegades received the well known stack of wheat cakes of a 6 to 0 menu. The score does not reveal all. The Renegades made ten first downs to the Gorrilla's three. In the closing minutes of play when the Renegades had the Gorrillas fighting a losing battle on their own five-yard line, a Modesto back intercepted one of Beatty's passes behind his goal and started to rung then realizinz what he was doing, he dropped the ball and Newbury fell on it for what should have been a touchdown, but which the referee refused to allow. The final game of the season was a miniature riot at Santa Bar- bara. After giving the Santa Barbara Police Force the thrill of their lives on the night before the game, the Renegade Big Club then played an exciting 6 to 6 tie with the Roadrunners. From the time that the Roadrunners did the unusual thing of pulling a sleeper on the first play of the game, until the gun sounded, ending the game, the affair was one thrill after another. It was indeed a fitting climax of a good SBHSOII. gil A f .5 L 2 i1.1.'i1lmll1.mgg' H '- I w....ll,,.,Hliiuiu,.i -I 4' vigil I-' RALLIES EP and lllOI'6 pep, made the rallies and skits of the year a big success. On the night before the Fresno State game, the gang put on one of the peppiest rallies of the year. Under the direction of the yell leaders, Hartwick and Applegarth, a parade consisting of a truck carrying the team, and followed by a long line of rooters in machines and otherwise, let the town know that the Renegades were alive. Yells, songs and red fire featured the event. An assembly skit, known as Ton'y Hash House, sold the Fresno game to a high school audience. The cast included Morris Chain, Mike Carnakis, V. Vanderhoof, Pavey Stanley, Spencer Selby, Jessie Winn and Bernice Platt. For the high school rally before the state championship game, the Renegades contributed the big stunt of the evening, a parody on Carmen. Ted McCain took the title role of Carmen Championship. Jose Berkely CMike Carnakisb and Pancho Driller 1Chris Freemanl fought a bull for the hand of Carmen, with Pancho winning. Pavey Stanley as a troubadour supplied incidental music. J. C. HALLOWE'EN PARTY HOSTS, pirates, gypsies, ballet girls, and clowns frollicked at the Kern River Country Club on Hallowe'en Night, the occasion being the annual Junior College Party. The evening was filled with stunts, g'ames, a.nd dancing. A grand march was held to awa1'd the prizes for the most original and attractive costumes. Glayds Price was voted by the judges as having the prettiest costume and Chris Freeman was given the prize for the most original costume. The stunts, which were very original, were the cause of much merriment. The program was as follows: Daffodil Dance ......,...................,......

GRIFFITH Dwight M. Griffith! G1'iif is a name that is not only known to every student who has ever attended our high school but to practic- ally every resident of Kern county because of his work on the field of athletics for Kern County High. Since Griff came to Bakersfield lligh he has given the biggest part of his time to coaching athletics and it is through his efforts that our school holds the position it does on the athletic map and every student should appreciate and honor his wonderful work. Griff has a knack for bringing out the best in the boys and by his magnetic personality inspires them to fight not only for victory but for the love of the game and to accept defeat in the best of sportsmanship. Coach Griffith has led our teams since 1907 and has always shown the keenest interest in his classes as well as in athletics. No student without the required grades can ever make a place on a team coached by Griff. He is absolutely fair, square, and honest. Not only has he brought the state championship of football home to our doors for four consecutive years and placed an eleven in the final game in the fifth year which only went down to defeat after playing a wonderful brand of football, but he has turned out many winning teams in basketball, track and baseball.

The team showed a better brand of football in the first game, than the team of a year ago. Not once during the game was the Blue and White goal in danger. Captain Dip Cooley is given the honor of making the first touch- down of the season. Dip made gain after gain through the Porterville line. At one time he ploughed through the orange and green line for several yards with three or four northern huskies distributed over his body. Harder and Johns at ends were always dependable for getting their men out of the way. Harder was playing the same brand of football that he used in our campaign for the state title last year and Johns, who is sure of a first string place the rest of the season, was not be- hind Harder for fight. The Drillers played a steady game of straight football, making four touchdowns by bucks and one on a pass, Harper to Killian. -1 ' 5 f Em ma F V'--T1 ' ff m..'.liI151g H itman V jf? Tl 'L 'mga I-' 4.4.1 OCTOBER 11-DRILLERS 0, SANTA CLARA 21 For the first defeat in four years the Champion Drillers bowed down to the fast coast team to the score of 0 to 21. The team fought a hard, but losing game and the red and white crew swept down the field for three touchdowns. Time and again the locals held for three downs on the goal line, only to have the Saints break through on the final down. The college freshmen from the north with their ex-high school stars from all over the state won a victory which was the hardest fought game ever witnessed on the local gridiron previous to this year's state meet. Time and time again the great crowd packing the stand came to its feet as the Drillers, fighting to the last, refused to give up and attempted to convert defeat to victory with a spirit which has made them state champions for four years. Captain Dip Cooley played a consistent game both on defense and offence. Dip has a fighting spirit and throughout the season proved to be one of the greatest captains ever selected to lead the blue and white eleven. Spud Harder was the outstanding star of the Drillers, with his tackling and ability to break up plays. Killian, Stockton, and Jones showed up well, as did the rest of team against a superior eleven. Bud Cummings, a '23 Driller sta1', played a stellar game for the visitors. 6 Tl ' 1 - A' it F V 'U' Jil ll,,L:rl.lli.ii.n T' ii liz.-Lis, ' 'T E1 I . is . if 4 , OCTOBER 18-DRILLERS 26, REDLANDS FRESHMEN 6 With the sting of defeat from the hands of the Santa Clara Frosh staring them in the face the Drillers entered the game determined to redeem themselves before the eyes of local football fans. With the rush of a tornado the team carried the visitors off their feet to the tune of 26 to 6. Redlands' only score came in the third frame when a fumble was scooped up for an 80 yard run for a touchdown. Tex Jones, filling Stockton's place in the backiield, was the star of the game with his open field running, carrying the ball over for two of the local crew's scores. Ceo James played a good game at end and was responsible for the third touchdown when he picked up a fumble and ran 30 yards for a score. Captain Dip Cooley was shifted to his old position on the line in this game and was the outstanding man in the stonewall defense of the locals. In the backfield Killian and Sadocchi both played well and Dillon, Gribble and Curtis showed real ability at gaining yards and carrying the ball. Lucas passed the pigskin a la Hansen style and proved that the blue and white team had little to fear when it came to pass- ing the ball from the center position. The whole line played a good game, tearing through Redland's interference and spilling the runner a number of times throughout the four quarters, forcing the visitors to resort to a passing attack. p 6 15, 1 7' .i'lsl1'ulg!!g3?'

The first quarters witnessed the complete demor- alization of the visitors when the team swept over their goal line for three touchdowns in rapid succession. Displaying a whirlwind attack in the first quarter the Drillers gained the commanding lead of 19 to 0 before the whistle blew for the second quarter. The team seemed to ease down and the next two quarters passed scoreless, but the fourth period saw the locals add on six more points. Line bucks and long runs featured the contest with the college team displaying considerably greater strength than was shown in their game here last year. Dillon brought the stand to its feet when on the third play he in- tercepted a forward pass and ran 60 yards for the first score. Dillon, a few minutes later, again scored when he went over on a line buck for the second touchdiwn. He was injured in the play and had to be carried from the field. Bud Easton, playing his first game in the backfield, was a consistent yard gainer, flashing through the line time and again for long gains. Harper, Killian and Curtis showed up well, each carrying the ball over for a score during the game. fs 4.7 gf In l ' Jill-'r-lF.2'iilm'iQl. 5 7 f ,, F r . , ,.'.l ll-,,'ll:ll.:.u.:.i 1 , 'APN .T s wifi - -1 'C' I NOVEMBER 1-DRILLERS 45, CALIFORNIA TECHNOLOGY 0 The Drillers completely overwhelmed the Caltech Frosh and with a slashing attack which developed into a walk-away the team swept the visitors goal for seven touchdowns, which totaled 45 to 0, when the final whistle blew. Tex Jones repeated his open field running of the previous game and frequently dashed through the Pasadena boys' line for long gains. Curtis soared to stardom when he ran 65 yards from behind his scrimmage line for a touchdown in the third quarter. Sadocchi, at half, was responsible for a touchdown and played an excellent game for his second appearance on the Driller line-up. The line showed up exceptionally well and rarely failed to open wide holes in the oppon- ent's1ine. The line tore holes in the Caltech line big enough to move the Science building through. No wonder the backs could make such big gains. Captain Dip Cooley, Big Mishler, and Ernie McCoy were the outstanding stars of the line. They would invariably break up the visitors' plays behind the line of scrimmage. Dip made some tackles that shook up the whole Caltech team. Nearly all the subs were used, including third team men and all proved to be just as good fighters and yard gainers as the first string players. fl - - - li 'Q 11' uk, 5' - ' ' A' V 7 Hnil'ulr.':izdlillW?L 5 F V I vfmu y,-,.,qi uiium.:.1 l rl I vi..

The southern team fought desperately for three-quarters but finally succumbed in the final period when, with terrific line bucks, the Drillers carried the ball over for two touchdowns. The first score was a safety for two points when Cooley blocked a punt behind the goal line in the third period. v The blue and white team had the ball in the college boys' territory most of the time and in several occasions had it close to the goal line, only to lose it after the Oxy line tightened. Beyond a doubt it was one of the most thrilling games witnessed here. Passes, line bucks and punts were used in rapid succession. Although the frosh team was fast, the Drillers proved a bit better and for the fifth consecu- tive year conquered the lads of the southern college. Every man on the squad proved his ability as a first class player and on no occasion was the Blue and White goal in serious danger. Captain Dip Cooley at left tackle played the hardest and most effec- tive game of any man on the field, while Jones with his open and spectacular field runs was responsible for both the touchdowns. fl .. .E 41? if 5 A F I ' n,:n..mmmagu H '-' , M-,,H lll1l:iEl4 ,9 'E l rn I vi- i. -l 'iff F' .-5 NOVEMBER 15--DRILLERS 13, TAFT 7 Two games during one week proved to be too much for the Drill- ers and as a result they were hard pressed to defeat Taft 13 to 7 in the first league game of the season. Taft, who was considered an easy victim, displayed a much stronger team than was expected and the final outcome of the game was in doubt until the final whistle. For the first time in the history of county football the blue and gold squad from the West Side gave the locals a hard run for first honors. The Drillers were completely off form and only their grit and fighting spirit saved them from defeat. The game was featured by fumbles and blocked kicks, with each eleven performing the trick on the other. The last part of the game witnessed a punting dual between LaMarsna and Harper, with the latter having a slight advantage. The Drillers' first score was made when Sadocchi received a punt and ran 35 yards through the entire oil city squad for a touchdown. The l0cal's gain was short lived when a long pass by Taft 1'esulted in a touchdown, making the score 7 to 6. The final and winning score was made in the second period when Jones crashed over the goal line, after Johns had received Harper's long pass on the one-yard line. Killian and Oldershaw at quarterback, Johns and Sheaff at end, and Cooley at tackle played a steady game, while Sadocchi with his sensational gains was the outstanding star.

With superior teamwork the Drillers, with a determination to make a better showing than was exhibited against Taft, completely outclassed the red and blue eleven. The team's strength was shown in the fourth period when they received a kickoff and marched 80 yards down the field for a touchdown. Strathmore's lone score came in the last few minutes of the final quarter when they intercepted a pass and darted over the Blue and White goal line line. Never before in the annals of Griff's Drillers has such a game been played as was seen at Strathmore. For the first time in the history of our state title carriers an entire game was played with no time out for injuries and with not a single fumble during their battle to a sure victory. From the kickoff at 3 p. m. the locals assumed an offensive which rushed the ball into Strathmore's territory for practically the whole four periods. The white sweaters played a hard but losing game and tried by long runs and sweeping passes to regain lost ground. Captain Dip Cooley was the outstanding star of the game with his tackling and ability to block punts. Bud Easton, Killian and Sadocchi played their usual good gameg in fact every man who partic- ipated formed an important cog in the scoring machine. LL T., 6, I ' ,1mLvl'5W!!k'!lh W5 E ..,.

The field greatly slowed up the game, but nevertheless failed to make an impression on Sadocchi, Jones and Easton, who thrilled the fans with their spectacular runs of long distance throughout the whole game. The entire team, as usual, worked like a clock, with every man doing his part at the right time. Not once was the Blue and White goal in danger, as the northern valley boys were on the defense prac- tically the entire four quarters. During the last quarter Griff sent in every man on the squad, who not only kept up the good work of the first team, but helped to run the score up. It was the subs day and they proved that any position on the team could be filled to perfection. Shortly after the game started it was evident that the Drillers had the Lemoore boys at their mercy, but the large score made was not expected. The third quarter ended 26 to 0, and in the last quarter the team tore loose and piled up 27 more points before the final whistle blew. Joe Sheaff made a name for himself at end. His tackles were perfect and he intercepted five Lemoore passes, besides playing an all around good game, both on the offensive and defensive. in ' l'lLFilEl2il!gg33 MH V 1 y F 1 -I A , figia 1' F. SOUTHERN TITLE FORFEITED The Southern California title was forfeited to the Drillers when the C. I. F. ruled that Bakersfield should be given the southern cham- pionship, because of the inability of Glendale, Orange and Compton to play off a tie within the season's time schedule. OUR TEAM All honor to our faculty, They are the reason why We are a united spirit, And love old K. C. High. All honor to our buildings, Each one has its part, But our brawny football team In the pride of our heart. From the north unto the south They have won us many a game, And when they go down in battle We will cheer them just the same.

The Blue and White boys were outweighed twenty pounds to the man, but with all the handi- cap the Yellowjackets were kept stepping to keep them from scoring. Time and again they worked the ball deep into Berkeley's territory only to lose it on downs. The local squad's line worked to perfection and not a point of the northern boys' score was made through the Driller linesman, who frequently threw their heavier opponents back without a gain. The Berkeley boys were not only big and heavy, but they were fast and played a wonderful brand of football. In the first quarter, due to so much noise in the stands, the sig- nals were not understood clearly and Harper was thrown behind our goal for a safety, which gave Berkeley a 2 to 0 lead. During the second and third quarter a bitter struggle ensued, with Berkeley having a little the best of it, but still unable to score. Johns attempted a field goal that fell short. The fourth quarter was even more exciting and kept both team's supporters in a frenzy of expectations. Killian attempted a drop kick which failed by a frac- tion of an inch, but for several minutes raised the Bakersfield fans . 6 Eli -I it ibilglidkhf' r I' . r.'..'.l,Mlll11.i.lu.:i1 il l 1:51 into a complete riot. A few minutes later Sheaff intercepted a pass and carried the ball seventy-five yards, before being brought down by one of the fast northern backs. In the last two minutes of play the Drillers started an aerial attack, but resulted in Clymer of Berkeley grabbing one of Harper's long passes and running ninety yards for the only touchdown of the game. There was no one outstanding star on the local squad, each man playing the game of his life, with Captain Dip Cooley leading the squad of 1924 in a game that will long be remembered in the history of the school, not only by the townspeople but by every loyal student of K.

Under the efficient coaching of J. H. Davis, the boys lost only one practice game to Por- terville and advanced to the highest ambition of midget teams, the championship of the San Joaquin valley. Captain Way was the shining spark that set the smaller lads afire and inspired them with the old Bakersfield pep. The season started in reverse but ended up in high and still going strong. The Sandabs piled up 176 points to their opponent's 12, in seven games. This is a record that will probably stand for many years to come and is considered one of the best in the entire nation. The backfield was built up around Thornburg, Newberry and Boynton and little Watts as the pilot. The subs, Bruno, B. Stockton, Beardsley and Stramler, always gave a good account of themselves when ever they were called upon. The line was built up around Way, tackle, and Smith, center. Way was always in every game, consistent in his tackles and good at break- ing up plays. Smith was at his best on the defensive and during the season he blocked several punts and was one of the mainstays of the line. At guards, Wells and Wadman played a steady game at all times. O'Connor and Hilton as subs were ready to step into their positions at any time. The tackles, Way and Normanly, were sure bets on bringing the opposing man that received the punts down in short order. The alter- nates, Timmons and Galbraith, followed close seconds. On the wings Osborne and Lyons played first-class ball and there was very little yardage made around these two lads. Their associ- ates, Austin and Fisher, were also good little players. Shaw at sub center was always a dependable man. Thornburg at half was the best broken field runner the light- weights have ever had. He could always be depended upon to make yards. Smith Newberry was punter, passer and a good line plunger. Watts, quarterback, picked his plays well and played a wonderful safety man. He rarely fumbled and usually could be counted on to run the punts back a reasonable distance. Bruno and Boynton at full were both good men and it was an even break between the two as to which one would start the game. 'li W A AIETIUN1 L f' lwu lgl . 6 .5, Y ' .llllfvlEL'HluN5n. 5 Y , Al ... ' 'W' K . F 1 . M5 '1 if -- F' J. H. DAVIS The lightweight football team was very fortunate in having a man like J. H. Davis for a coach. Mr. Davis gained his experience in coaching by playing on a great many of the well known professional teams of the east and has coached several teams in the west, as well as in the east. Coach Davis starting with nearly all new men developed a pow- erful little scoring machine. He developed a line that no school could buck and a backfield that no school could stop. Through con- stant practice and time he molded one of the best evenly matched and perfect working squads in the state and the best in the valley this season. With the material worked up this year Davis should have even a better team next year. We'll all admit that he is some coach as was shown in the way his boys ended up the valley title by a 53 to 0 victory over Reedley. ii -n I V 1 if , f A 4 V' 1 .

Then Thornburg started things by making a 30-yard run, which placed the ball on Porterville's 30- yard line. Line bucks placed the ball on the five-yard line. The1'e was a misunderstanding of signalsg a fumble and a Porterville man scooped up the ball and ran 95 yards for a touchdown as the game ended. MARICOPA 0, SANDABS 23 The Sandabs delibe1'ately walked all over the Ma1'icopa heavy- weights. The game was featured with fumbles and line bucks. MARICOPA O, SANDABS 33 The following week Maricopa secured a return game and was de- feated by a larger score than the first contest. As usual the local linesmen tore through their line and all the backs had to do was run. TAFT 6, SANDABS 7 ln the closest game of the season and the first league game the Sandabs barely conquered the Taft crew by one point. Several pen- alties kept the local boys from getting a well-earned three touchdowns. Watts made the conversion and the point that won the game. fl li ff 5 GJ -IMHU lah!- 5 J I F V .'i l'Cn'il IR- Hllllwvia 1 -1 I te., ,- DINUBA 0, SANDABS 52 In a fall track meet practice the lightweights handed the Dinuba midgits a goose egg and collected 52 points to their own credit. New- berry's punting was a feature of the game. PORTERVILLE 0, SANDABS 8 In the league game with Porterville the Sandabs turned the tables on the team which defeated them at the first of the season and won the game 8 to 0. Porterville was on the defensive throughout the entire four quarters. Thornburg made the only touchdown and Smith blocked a punt at the end of the game which Timmons re- covered for a safety and the extra two points. REEDLEY 0, SANDABS 53 To end up the season right the little lads squelched Reedley by sending them home empty handed and saving out 53 points for them- selves. The Sandabs had the game entirely within their own hands and completed score after score. The valley championship game re- sembled a back yard struggle with the Reedley crew completely out- classed. Every man on the squad was sent in and still the points rolled up for Coach Davis' understudies. FOOTBALL FEEDS OLLOWING the custom of previous years, the local business men again entertained the Drillers at a number of banquets following the state championship game. The support of the business men this season was one hundred percent and their backing of the team was stronger than ever before. Despite the fact that we lost the final game the boys were given as much honor and praise for their game fight as if' they had won by an overwhelming score. THE FEEDS Sam Brice's big feed as usual was the first one of the season and was this year given in Eagles Hall. All men who were out for the blue and white elevens were guests and unanimously declared that the banquet was one of the best ever given. The speakers of the evening were Judge Irwin Owen, E. J. Emmons, H. A. Jastro, Jim Eagan, Griff, Johnny Loustalot, H. A. Spindt, and Sam. The big feature of the evening was the presenting to Captain Robert Dip Cooley a gold watch as a gift of the true sports of Bakersfield. fl ii . 6 - l.L'il .v 25' 1 1 :i..:wH' ..-sw H 7 V If il -'::.'.lwlA,ill..'L,.u.:.' El P l HIE!! The next feed in line was given by the Exchange Club and was held in the Tegeler hotel. All men in suit at the big game were pres- ent. Principal speakers were Griff, Johnny Loustalot, Dave Urner, H. A. Spindt, and Homer Hopkins, the latter serving as toastmaster. The third banquet was given by the Rotary Club and was held in the Elks' new banquet hall. The boys besides helping to do away with the good food joined in on the singing of several popular songs. John Wilt presided and among the many speakers he introduced was James Petrini and Coach Griffith. The last banquet was given by the Kiwanis Club and was also held in the Elks' banquet hall. The Rhonda Welsh singers, who sang a num- ber of popular selections, were the main feature of the feed. All the boys were introduced by Griff at the banquet, as was his custom at the previous luncheons. TENNIS ' LTHOUGH our tennis tournaments were not entirely successful for us this season, we have proved that Bakersfield High can offer strong competition in any sport in which teams are entered. In the first game of the season, March 7, the blue and white net stars defeated Wasco 3 to 2, but lost the second match of the year on March 21 to Maricopa by a 3 to 2 score. Taft downed the locals 4 to 1 after a bitter struggle on the oil city courts. Phil Wagy, who has played a stellar game for several years, was at the top of his form and won the county championship in the boys' singles, winning every match of the schedule. His victory entitles him to compete in the valley eliminations and he is expected to offer some stiff competition for first honors. Although this is the first season that they have played together, Richard Colton and Lois Walker won two matches and lost one in the mixed doubles. Lawrence Walker and Phil Healy did not win any games in the boys' doubles but have the distinction of being the only players in the county to take one match from the Dodson brothers of Taft, county champions. These two lads are promising material for next year. Fern Ferguson and Edith McLean, who played girls' doubles, won two out of the three matches and although playing together for the first time this term they gave a fine exhibition of net playing. Edith McLean is another candidate for next season's team. Evelyn Mickleberry did not succeed in winning any of the girls' single contests, but showed a considerable improvement over her last year's playing.

' BASKETBALL HE 1925 basketball squads as a whole witnessed one of the most successful years that any of K. C.'s casaba tossers have ever had, with the heavyweight and lightweight quintets winning the county championship and the fieaweights losing the valley championship only after a terrific struggle with the Lemoore high school midgets. The middleweight five after playing stellar ball the entire season were de- feated by the Wasco melon jugglers for the county championship in one of the fastest and hardest fought games of the year on the local court. LIGHTWEIGHT FIVE The lightweight five was the most successful of the three teams this season and has the distinction of advancing the farthest in the casaba schedule of any fleaweight team in the history of the school. The light lads conquered all the county quintets, including Taft, Mari- copa and Wasco and then defeated the Tulare county champions, Tu- lare high school peaweights, 10 to 8 in the play-off for the bi-county and valley semi-finals. In the contest to decide the valley champion- ship the local boys, who had an off day and failed to show their usual form, were handed a 13 to 5 defeat by the Lemoore midgets. After leading the first half 5 to 4 the locals were unable to again out play the northerners in the second half and the Lemoore boys added nine points to their score for the victory of the evening. Jimmy Fisher was the star of the local midgets, playing an excel- lent game at forward and rarely failing to be high point man in the scoring end of every game. Antone Love, center, usually got the jump and was one of the best shots on the squad. Contratto and Stockton formed an air-tight defense and were responsible throughout the sea- son for the low scores of the opposing hoopmen. Hull and Nunez as forwards played an even and well balanced game throughout the schedule. Dolch, Hay, Jordan and Myers were efficient substitutes and all played bang-up ball when sent in to relieve their teammates. The team was handicapped by the loss of Captain Love and Clarke Paulson in the early part of the season, but nevertheless may well be proud of the record which they made. fl - n 1 IH IMIIMNL 5 - fl K 5, 'Ellyn VL Y' in M . mI mum.z .

Practically every mid- dleweight struggle was the scene of a fast and close contested tilt and the local lads won the name of the gamest and hardest fighting five that has ever represented Bakersfield in their division. The backbone of the team was built around Captain Lester Boyn- ton, who is considered the best guard that has ever donned the blue and white colors in the middleweight class. Boynton's running mate, Elmer Sadocchi, proved to be a good man in any position on the squad and played a hard game throughout the whole season. Contratto and Beardsley, who held the forward positions down, gave a good account of themselves in every game and formed the scoring pins of the quintet. Heber and Vernon Sadocchi handled the center place to perfection and always gave their best in every game. Nelson, Leong, McCarthy, and Normanly formed a good substitute string and could be depended on to fight to the end. fl Vi , .

With but one veteran from last year's hoop tossers Coach Griffith organized a fast goal tossing aggregation which won the county championship and only went down to defeat before the Porterville citron jugglers, who later played for the state championship, after a hard fought match on the northerner's court. The Drillers lost only two practice games, one to'Lancaster and the other to Hanford, and conquered the unlimited quintets of Wasco, Maricopa and Taft. In the first game of the season the Wasco boys were bowed down by the locals to the tune of 27 to 14 on their home court. The Tigers started out fine and looked like sure winners until the last quarter, when the blue and white squad hit the ring for score after score. The following day the Drillers journeyed to Lancaster and met defeat at the hands of the desert high school boys 19 to 17 in one of the closest and evenest matched struggles of the year. In a return game the next week the Wasco heavyweights again went down in defeat by an overwhelming score by the locals. Maricopa was the next victim and was easily conquered by the Griffmen by a large score. One of the biggest upsets of the season, Cfor TaftJ, was the defeat of the Taft unlimited boys by the blue and white hoop tossers in the play-off for the county semi-finals. Taft, according to the dope sheet, was expected to win over Bakersfield by several points but when the final whistle blew the score board showed 12 to 9 in favor of the Drillers. The Wasco Tigers were again victims of the local's sting when they were defeated 14 to 8 for the Kern county title. Playing against a faster and more experienced team the fighting Driller basketball team fell at the hands of the Orange and Green hoopmen of Porterville 32 to 9 in the play-off for the valley semi-finals. Captain Lawrence Johns, Lyman Curtis and Harry Killian were the stellar lights of the team with the first two forming perfect de- fense as guards and the latter holding down one of the forward posi- tions as the best man on the squad when it came to dropping the ball through the hoop from any position on the court. Jensen, forward, and Minter, center, played a steady floor game and could be counted on to give a good account of themselves in any contest. Heber, Boynton, Colton, Howland and Rister formed a good re- serve squad and never failed to make a good showing when called upon to assume one of the first string men's positions.

Although outnumbered the -class of '27 won four of the five events. The purple and gold won the first event, Sadocchi, Lightner, and Mer- cer, finishing in the order named in the 100-yard dash. The jousting was a fight from start tofinish, but the Sophomores finally came out on top. The 50-yard relay proved to be the most hotly contested event of the day and again the Sophs finished in the lead. The main event of the day, which was something new, was in the form of a football scrimmage. The two classes were lined up in the center of the field and five footballs were thrown in. A riot was a mild affair to this battle royal. The Sophomores once more proved their supremacy when they carried three of the five footballs home. Last, but not least, was the tug of war. The Freshmen determined not to be whitewashed, put forth Driller-like efforts and succeeded in winning the event by giving the Sophomores a good drenching. FOOTBALL RALLY HE annual football rally was held this year just before the State Championship game with Berkeley. Although it lacked the usual crowd that fills the auditorium to capacity, there were still prob- ably over 1000 students and townspeople in attendance to witness the burning of Berkeley in effigy. The stunts were very good. As usual, skits were presented by the Junior College, Shrieking Hoo Hoos, Juniors and Seniors. Dainty Ted McCain as the sweet Carmelita in the J. C. stunt will long be remembered, while the Shriekers' laundry, the Juniors' Indian village and the Senior radio stunt will always create pleasant memories. Walter Wiechelt gave his stirring sermon over the dummy with the traditional pomp and ceremony. After such an address it was too bad that the corpse came to life afew days later on Griffith field, on the same place where it had been burned with such weeping and wailing. The coaches were called upon for opinions, which they cheerfully gave. Griff was hailed with long drawn out cheers, and Johnny Loustalot announced the players. 6 97 ISIN! iii gl ' l iIi'v 1 NRM 5 F' I 1 F 1 I llgl F 1 4 .. 1.-. 1 v-. - ., 1 V -eq ROUTING IIEN we started the football season last October our rooting section lacked volume, but as the games progressed and the Drillers once more conquered team after team on their march to the finals, the volume and pep increased as did the number of root- ers. The success of the rooting was due largely to Richard Spawn and his two assistants, Cecil Laster and Paul Leary, who proved to be among the best school yell leaders that have ever led the student body. New yells with lots of punch were given to the rooters and new motions that far surpassed the daily dozen exercises were used by the yell leaders. Who could keep from yelling with all this? The Shrieking Hoo Hoos deserve considerable credit when rooting is mentioned as the girls shrieked better and louder than ever before this year, under the leadership of Pearl Karpe. They had lots of pep and showed it by their one hundred percent attendance at all the games. The girls had a section in the stadium roped 05 and trimmed in blue and white where they sat during all games and yelled with might and main. Bakersfield had a chance to prove herself a good loser at the Ber- keley game and the rooters sure did their stuff when it came to yelling. In spite of tears eve1'y one yelled for the boys until they were hoarse and then yelled some more. It is true that there was more cheering and a greater and better backing of the team at this game than any other of the season. The yell leaders and student body are proud of the fact that there was no razzing from the blue and white section during any game and that any team or visiting school may well speak of Bakersfield as a game and loyal school with clean and fair sportsmanship as their motto. 6 Eli qw, g 1 5 V I . +':',.'il1l,,j,lan.u.:.'

The final score was, Juniors 665, Seniors 65, Sophomores 33, Freshmen 295, and Junior College 13. Captain Spencer Selby of the class of '25 was high point man of the meet, winning five first places, a second and a third position for a total of 30 points. Selby's firsts were made in the century, 120-yard high and 220-yard low hurdles, broadjump, and high jump. George Harper of the. Juniors was second high point man with 18 marks chalked up to his credit. The Freshmen and Sophomores showed up well in the Class A and B divisions, but were unable to accomplish very much in the un- limited class. Moreno of the Frosh shone out for the first year lads when he won both the 75-yard dash and broadjump in Class A. . 6 '11 Q F ak I i I 1 Qt giilnrreumw 31 F If 1 r,'..'.l ll-,,,il1ii,.u.:.4 ' 1 , , ,. 4 viii, - The relay was won by the Sophomores with Juniors second, Seniors third and Freshmen fourth. Every class was well represented in the stadium and the meet proved to be one of the most interesting and evenly matched classics for several years. PRACTICE MEETS OCCIDENTAL CLASH In the first practice dual track and field meet the Oxy Frosh spike- men barely nosed out the Drillers for first honors when they won the relay, the deciding event of the day. After overcoming a ten point lead and tieing the score, 54 all, in the next to the last event, the blue and white trackmen ,lost a hotly contested relay to the Oxy men, who hit the tape a few feet ahead of our last runner, making the final score 59 to 54 in favor of the southern lads. Of the 13 events Bakersfield won six firsts, 6 seconds and 8 third places to Oxy's 7 firsts, 6 seconds and 5 third positions. Captain Spen- cer Selby was high point man of the meet, scoring 20 points from five events in which he was entered. Sparky copped three firsts in the high and low sticks and broad jump, won second in the shot put and tied for second in the high jump. Nash of Oxy was second high point man with 15 points, winning the 100, 220, and 440 yard dashes. Other local first place winners were: George Harper, who cleared the bar at 5 feet 65 inches in the high jump, Harry Killian, who made 10 feet in the pole vaultg and Doug Knowles, who nosed out Good- hart of Occidental by three inches for first place in the mile. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SOUTHERN BRANCH TILT The Freshmen cinder treaders of the University of California, Southern Branch, defeated Coach Griffith's track stars 76 to 46 in the second track meet of the season for the blue and white tracksters. The superiority of the southern branch boys in the track events spelled the doom of the local lads, the visitors building up a lead of 47 to 22. The field events were closer with the Grizzlies again vic- torious by a 29 to 24 count. The southern team won eight first places to the locals six and won the second places by a 9 to 5 count. The Drillers captured seven third positions to the university team's five. Captain Spencer Selby was again high point man of the meet, gathering in 18 digits. Selby captured two firsts, winning in the 120 high hurdles and broad jump, and placed second in the 220 low hurdles 1l7 . 6 Ei' 1, Z f' i :....'.lmu..-agu 5 L Al f F , -uw.: lk,,N.lilu.iv.z,1 ' r 4 VI I .j g, 1 I. and javelin. He also took third in the shot put and high jump. Luiti- wiler of the Grizzlies was second point man with two firsts to his credit and li points in the relay. Luitiwiler won his firsts by breaking the tape in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. George Harper of the blue and white track treaders was third in the art of gathering points with 11 markers, winning first in the high jump and javelin and placing third in the discus. Although defeated by a 30-point margin the defeat was not so keenly felt by the Drillers because considerable improvement was noticed over the previous meet with the Occidental stars. COUNTY MEET w The county meet this year proved to be one of the hotest con- tested meets for a number of years with the Driller's assortment of Nurmi's and Paddocks winning but by a few points. The blue and white trackmen chalked up 70 points in the unlimited division and 19 in the limited class. Taft was as usual our strongest contender for first honors, winning 56 points in the unlimited and walking off with the limited class with 31 markers. Wasco produced the best spike- men in the history of the school and placed third in the classic with 27 in the unlimited and 5 in the limited. Out of the 19 events Bakersfield won 10 firsts, Taft 8, and Wasco 1. Captain Spencer Selby was high point man of the day with 161 points, placing first in the shot put, 220 low hurdles and broadjump, and running a quarter in the relay. James Winn of Taft was sec- ond with 122 points, copping the century, 220 yard dash, placing 3rd in the pole vault and running a lap in the relay on the oil city team, which placed second. Five county records were broken and one mark tied. All were made by Coach Griffith's cinder artists. Doug Knowles, our star distance man, set a new mark when he clipped off the mile in 4 minutes and 45 seconds. Spencer Selby increased his county record for the broadjump when he cleared the ground 22 feet. George Har- per broke the county record of 5 feet 82 inches in the high jump when he cleared the bar at 5 feet 9i inches.. Harry Killian broke his own county record in the Class B pole vault when he slid over the rod at 10 feet. The blue and white relay team set a new time for the four- man event when the distance was clipped off in one minute and 35 seconds. George Hay tied the high jump Class B record of 5 feet 21 inches. 5 A' 1 liL.'i-Ngli.-ini' I- V . 'fw.'.llHllliii..u,:. ' El -1 A wifi- - I'- VALLEY MEET The Kern County Drillers added one more track victory to their long string of cinder honors when they romped away with the valley track and field meet this year for the sixth time in eight years. Be- sides walking off with the unlimited division with 39 points the blue and white spikemen scored an unexpected victory in the limited class with 105 digits. Our old rival, Taft, who placed second in the county meet, again copped second honors in the valley tilt with 225 points, but failed to win in the limited division as she did in the county. Thus the two outstanding schools in Kern county copped the highest honors in the San Joaquin valley from the best competition that 24 valley high schools could offer. Tulare High finished third with 2145 marks. George Harper of the Drillers was high point man of the day with 12 points, placing first in the javelin and high jump and capturing third in the 120 high sticks. Douglas Knowles, our star distance man, tied with Taylor of Tulare for second honors, winning the half- mile and mile runs. Captain Spencer Selby set a new valley record in the broad jump when he cleared the ground for 21 feet 62 inches. Harry Killian won the Class B pole vault when he cleared the rod at 10 feet 2 inches. Not only did the boys walk off with points but also with most of the silverware, taking three out of the four cups offered. One for the unlimited division, one for the limited class, and one for high point man. STATE MEET After winning both the county and valley track classics the blue and white spikemen were unable to place in the state meet at Palo Alto on May 9. A very cold day along with rain was the prime factor in the locals failure to place, as the Drillers, who were accustomed to compete on dry fields, were unable to duplicate their previous marks. Coupled with this disadvantage was the illness of Captain Sparky Selby, who was counted on to win the broadjump and to do well in the low and high hurdles. Although showing up well in the preliminarys he was unable to place in the finals. Doug Knowles, who won both the county and valley distant runs, ran a beautiful race in the 880, but only copped fourth, and due to the strain of the half mile run failed to place in the mile. George Harper, high point man of the valley meet, tied for third in the high jump and grabbed third in the exhibition javelin throw. fl Fi ft - Q'k? ff'R L' P -T, i ' mfr' ,L 1 ' Halal:-FLEBQQL' if F V .

Once a week the classes were put through a stiff gymnastic drill and once every two weeks lectures were given on hygiene. Inter-period games were played in basketball, baseball and track. Each period was divided up into different teams and eliminations held to decide the winner. The best teams of each period would then meet for the school title. Tumbling, wrestling, and boxing also proved to be popular with the boys, as did swimming in the latter part of the term. A wrestling and tumbling tournament was held during the spring and many ex- ceptionally good exhibitions were witnessed. Since the erection of the stadium a large percent of the class work has been held on Griffith field and only during this year has its real value as not only a place for inter school games but also a. gym. recreation place been realized. fl li yfi '-silt.. , 9 if 4. f ii: T43-.ig be L 1 'iungiimgma F V gill' i -1 in :viii i I-' GI RLS' PH YSIUAL ED U CATH JN NDEII the able supervision of Miss Eldora DeMots, Miss llazel Churchman and Miss Virginia Law the girls' physical education department has taken great strides during the last year. The interest of the girls in their work was increased by interclass games in volley ball, association football and baseball. The girls who made the best showing' in the periods were chosen to represent their class in the playoffs for the school title. Those who made the required number of credits in the various sports were awarded their B s. The most important event of the school year for the girls' gym. classes is the telegraphic track meet, which is held with all the high schools in the United States. Last year the girls won second place in the nationals. This was considered exceptionally good for the first year. Dancing classes and posture work under the direction of Miss Law have proved very popular as was shown by the large enrollment in each class. fl Vi Eli S --1-11 . ' ' .l 1.'i-IMI H 5 1 , ,.

With practically the entire nine of last year's squad back the blue and white stick wielders started in with a vim to redeem the county championship which was lost last year. THE PRACTICE GAMES A decided greater rivalry was witnessed this year in the inter- class games when the Juniors and Seniors crossed bats for the school title. After an eight-inning struggle the last year lads were victorious by the close score of 3 to 2. In the preliminary games, the Seniors easily defeated the Sophomores, while the Juniors were forced to exert themslves in downing the Freshmen. The Drillers proved to be a hard-hitting aggregation in the prac- tice tilts when they downed the Santa Fe sluggers twice to the tune of 6 to 5 and 18 to 2. The Security Trust nine was also defeated by the Griffmen by an 8 to 2 count. From the showing made by the local pill tossers in the first three games of the season Bakersfield should have little trouble in walking off with the county championship this SQHSOII. , 6 '11 - l IRUI i i ix I 5 , 1 l .l'lll'e F' mfH5l. 5 i V--1-'I I will ,,Hl1mi.il ri . p lr,- .' vi.. a . -I E2 I' COUNTY LEAGUE oniuns MARICOPA TILT In the first league game of the season the Drillers conquered the Maricopa batsmen 9 to 4 on the oil city squad's diamond. The game was featured by the hard hitting of the blue and white horsehiders, with Mizook Johns, lanky second baseman, starring with two home runs. Spencer Selby started the tilt for the Griffmen but was relieved by Howard Humphries after two innings. At the end of the second inning the oilers were leading 2 to O, but in the third with two men on base, Johns poled out a 4-base clout. From then on the Drillers had the edge throughout the game and the last five innings witnessed the local bat slingers pound the ball in all directions. Bakersfield line-up: Beardsley, cg Selby, pg L. Drennan, lb, Johns, 2bg Caffee, ssg I. Drennan, 3bg Jensen, lf, Parish, cf 3 Fisher, rf Q Hum- phries substituted for Selby in the third frame. TAFT CLASH For the 'steenth time the blue and white lads handed their old rival, Taft, a beating when the Drillers remembering last year's defeat from the hands of the oil city pill tossers, handed the blue and gold nine a trouncing to the tune of 19 to 7. Pounding the ball to all corners of the lot the Griffmen gave the Taft lads one of the worst defeats in the history of county baseball between the two schools. The Taft batsmen were completely off form, playing ragged ball throughout the entire contest. The visitors held the Griffmen scoreless for the first two frames and pushed over two runs for a 2 to 0 lead, when LaMarsna, oil city first baseman, hit a home run with one on base. However, in the third inning the blue and white squad hit their stride, scoring five men. With the bases full, Bob Caffee poled a home run, and Spencer Selby made the fifth score when he clouted out another four base hit. COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP GAME Determined to have a clean slate in all major sports of the county the Drillers, having won the football, basketball and track champion- ship of Kern county, defeated the Wasco nine by the decisive score of 10 to 2 on the Tigers' diamond May 16 for the baseball title. Both teams held victories over Taft and Maricopa but the blue and white horsehiders proved to be the best sluggers and outplayed the black and gold lads the entire game.

N5 2 vig-ii'-f CANNED By EDITH RANTON S BOB HOLLOWAY rounded the corner on his home street, he was surprised to see no light in his house. But perhaps the light was in a back room, or the electricity off. He hastened his steps and at last, turning in at his home, he took the four steps in a bound. Oddg the front door was locked. His wife, Mary, must be up to a trick. Having searched the last room in the house and looked ca1'e- fully behind every door, he realized that she was gone. First, Mary had gone out only on Thursday afternoon to Ladies' Aid and arriving home late declared she would have Van Camps beans for supper, as it was so quickly prepared. Then it was Saturday matinee with beans following for supper, then Monday, Eastern Star and again beans for the menu. Wednesday it was welfare work and there were always some beans left she could quickly warm up. And now- now she was away Tuesdays and-. The very thought of beans made his curling hair straighten as if a wave of electricity had been shot through it. Lighting the fire in the hearth Bob took his pipe from the mantel and settled down in his Morris chair to visit his anger on the innocent Evening Herald. No sooner had Bob filled the room with just enough smoke to arouse the wrath of Mary, than her footsteps sounded on the pave- ment. Running up the steps she burst into the room. Suppressing with difficulty a cough, and with still more difficulty the words that flew to her lips, she puckered her pretty mouth and called a cheery Hello to her husband. Dear, she explained on her way to her room, Mrs. Cary called on her way to town and begged me to go with her and I couldn't very well refuse. We had a lovely time. She wants me to go with her every Tuesday. I'm sorry I'm late but it will just take a minute to get supper on. Mary had supper on in record-breaking time and with a slight misgiving in her heart she called sweetly to Bob. No sooner had Bob entered the dining room than he spotted the fatal dish of Van Camps. The storm which had been gathering for some time broke with a crash. Beans again, Bob cried. Monday night. Tuesday night. Wed- nesday night-every night beans. How I hate the very name, beans! With this he went thumping out of the room, resolving in his mind to put a final end to beans for supper. Tl f S 5 :'nh'1-IELTII FSL 5 V ' +'.'w.'.l wwf ini ma. .I wi?-i., . ln the seclusion of his library he set about to figure the best way to cure Mary of her slackness, to make her realize first what a fine husband she had, and second that the surest way to keep his love was through his stomach. Suddenly he thought of the book, Hints for Household Harmony. It had been given to them as a wedding gift and they had tucked it far back on the shelf, laughing at the thought of ever using it. Turning to Chapter III he saw: Jealousy a Sure Cure for Waning Love. p That was enough. A plan as perfect in detail unfolded itself as if it had been planned for weeks ahead. Had he not bet an oyster supper last week with his stenographer and lost? Tomorrow night he would take her to the Sea Shore. Then of course some one would see him and tell his wife and she would get jealous and be sorry just as the book said. On hearing him leave, Mary quietly stole into the library, hot anger surging in her heart at the thought of- Bob daring to scold her for her meals and they only married a year. One short year and his love for her was growing cold! Flashing on the light she too took down Hints on Household Harmony and turned to the third chapter. Reading it through several times, she let the book fall to the floor and raising her eyes, she cried softly, Could I? Would I dare? Had the handsome young doctor not asked her last time to stop in at the Sea Shore for an oyster supper on their return from a welfare trip, and tomorrow they were going again and they would have to pass by it. And when some one sees me there and tells Bob he'll be sorry, especially when he sees how near he came to losing his wife, and he'll love me again- beans and all! Mary and Dr. Hill first stopped at the welfare headquarters and from there started out afoot to visit a poor Mexican dwelling in the West end of town. On arriving at the hut, they found one child very ill, so that the sun was already sinking in the west when they started for home. When the Sea Shore came in sight Dr. Hill said, Mrs, Holloway, couldn't we stop for a bowl of that soup tonight? After swallowing her heart for the third time Mary smiled sweetly and replied, I would like a bowl of soupg it's so cold. As they entered through the swinging doors, Mary quickly glanced about the small, brilliantly-lighted room. There were only a few couples, as the late evening crowds had not yet begun to gather. She felt Dr. Hill's arm on her elbow and heard him ask, Would you , 6 V'--'fl ' :mt-IE:-lil-ant' 1 fsglim I I r' like to sit at one of the little tables there by the window ? Her eyes scanned the row of little tables there by the window, and there- there! Could it be? No, surely not Bob! Not her Bob, with another I woman, with that red-headed stenographer of his. She must not by all means let him see herlthere. Turning to Dr. Hill she cried, Mercy, I-I-I left the gas on in the range. I must get home, quick! Dr. Hill, seeing her flushed face and knowing her excitement to be anything but false, grabbed her arm and hurried her toward the door. But in spite of her rapid exit, Bob raised his eyes just in time to recognize her fleeing form. My wife, my wife, he exclaimed to himself, with that young doctor. Could it be she has left me? Oh, what a brute I was to scold her, and all because of some pesky beans. She'll never forgive me, now. If I were only home. But she must have seen me and with my stenographer. No, no I wouldn't care for any, thanks. Are you ready? Then we had better be on our wayg you see I have those bills to check over and-of course, no rush. No, there was no rushg nevertheless he didn't wait for his change and no short cut by way of a vacant lot was too hilly or dark to take Miss Perkins across. Bidding his lady a hurried good-night at her gate, he made a mad dash for home.f To avoid any neighborly traffic on his home street, he took to the alley and entered his house by the back door, just as his wife, who had fully decided by now that she had lost her splendid husband Mary, cried Bob, please don't leave me. It's all my fault. Bob, then you're not going to elope with that red-headed sten- ographer? Oh, I do love you so, I'll stay home all day just to fix you a nice supper. Only don't leave me. Leave you, Mary, shouted Bob, you know I couldn't. With a sob of joy mingled with relief, she ran into his arms. Bob, she whispered, let's start all over again, shall we ? And we'll never quarrel any more? We'll never, never quarrel any more, responded Bob, holding her close. And tomorrow will be the first day of our second honeymoong and I'll fix a great big dinner with Van Camps- Bob's arms twitchedfslightly. Mary, not beans on our honey- moon. A Oh, of course not, Bob she breathed softly, her golden head nestled close to his shoulder, Van Camps soup!

Members of the winning team were Betty Anderson, Kathryn Teach, and Dorothy Gardette. The class of '26 was defended by Harry Smith, Deward Jones and William Houston. In the preliminary debates between the two upper and lower classes the Freshmen represented by J. B. Payne, Dorothy Donahue, and Everett Calvert, were defeated by the Sophomores, and the Senior debators, Milton Phinney, Frank Hall and James Paddock were con- conquered by the Juniors. Considerable more interest was shown this year in the interclass debates by the students and the final arguments are believed to have been attended by the largest group in the history of the school. THE ORATORICAL CONTEST The second national oratorical contest was this year more hotly contested than ever before, with the participants being limited from over two hundred to sixteen, who competed again, leaving six for the school finals. In the local district finals Harry Smith was awarded first, William Houston second and Josephine Wiley third. Others who competed were Evelyn Mickelberry, Donald Wedge and James Paddock. The winners were awarded the prizes offered by the Bakersfield Morning' Echo. In the county district finals held April 17, Harry Smith was award- ed first place over representatives from Taft, Visalia and Fresno, and won the right to compete at Los Angeles in the southern division eliminations. Harry was awarded fifth place in the southern compe- tition with the best orators from the whole of southern California. Harry, who is only a Junior, has for the past three years distin- guished himself in both our high school and other valley and southern California schools as one of the best orators of the state in both de- bating and speaking, and has each year advanced farther in the ora- torical contest. From the results he has shown in this year's contest he may be one of the runner ups for first honors in the 1926 elimina- tions. Here's luck to you, Harry.

'- NE 1 F SCHOOL SPIRIT By FRANCES WALCH Winner of Third Place in County Essay Contest HE spirit of anything is really its life, as the life of a student-body is its school spirit. To be a good member of any organization one must take some interest in it. This is especially necessary if it is to be of benefit to you, as it is during school life. The interest you have in your student-body activities and the different organiza- tions of the school, whether you are a member of any or not, natur- ally is your school spirit. When an outsider comes into a school, the first thing he notices is the unity of the school interest and the good will by which it is accompanied. You cannot attend every game of the season, belong to every organization, and on the whole enjoy your school life if you are not fair to yourself and your companions. Along with school spirit goes the desire for good fellowship and honesty to yourself. To every boy and girl in the student-body belongs the right to get all he or she can out of his or her school life. This cannot be accom- plished unless it is started in the right way. Of course, if a mistake has been made at the beginning it can be remedied, but why not start out right, then the preventative will not be a distasteful as the cure. When a student first enters high school, it is time he realized some responsibility. He may have stumbled through grammar grades, but he must realize that in high school he alone is to blame if he does not get ahead. His time is practically wasted if he comes just to pass the time. Those four years do not seem so, but they are precious as he will realize if he has wasted them. He may think that he can start out by flunking or barely slipping through each semester and finally get through and still make good use of his time, but all through those four years he has lacked the biggest thing of all his school life-the spirit. If you have any appreciation at all of the good side of things you can not attend a school without having a sense of the spirit of it. What is it that makes you root for your side in a game if it is not the spirit and interest you have in your side? Why not develop this? You can also have the same feeling when you attend a student-body meeting. You feel proud of your school, glad you are in it, and a feeling of regret mingled with your pride when you are ready to graduate from it. I ll I ll.
