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.
