M. OSISORNE Il. D. WEST W. .I, WALTHIIS Board of Trustees THE Board of Trustees meets the evening of the first Monday of each month to consider all the problems of the three high schools of the district and the junior college. They are legally responsible for all actions of the administrative staff, for the property of the district, and for the conduct of the schools. In spite of this heavy responsibility, they serve without pay. Over a period of many years, we have been extremely fortunate in the quality of lllell that have served 011 tl1e Kern County Union High School Board of Trustees. They have been utterly unselfish in all the business affairs of the district and have never asked but one question when lnatters have been presented to them for action- that question is, will this serve the besl interests of the students in the schools of the district? The students of the Kern County Union High School should be highly appreciative of the service given to them by the Board of Trustees whose pictures appear on this page. To a much greater degree than is generally known the standing at the forefront of all of the high schools of the state which we now enjoy has been brought about by the excellent work of the trustees. l MR. H. A. SPINDT Princiual Principals Message HE school year 1934-35 has been marked by the continuance of our excellent work in student activities as well as in high scholastic work. In athletics our championships were scarce but in many ways the football season of 1934 was one of our best. Out- standing work in forensics marked the second year's leadership of David Goldberg. The dramatics, Blue and VVhitc, Oracle and others show of the same high standard lhal we have maintained in H. A. SPINDT. BIRD IIAIVI' UIIAIG YKYIU IKI ll'l' xsx LUlfSTAl10T IDKVY X x L...

The new plan for guiding the school was embodied in the student council. This group was composed of the presidents of all the school organizations. It proved to be a way of coming in closer contact with the leaders and students. The idea of Courtesy Week was in- troduced to this group as a means of helping the student body be more considerate, and kindly in its attitude. This idea was put into action by the Service Club. The regular duties of the executive group are to issue the charters of the organization and to decide on the affairs of the school. The eight who have problems of the school to work out are: David Gold- berg, presidentg Art Curran, vice-president, Rosemarie Gilli, secre- taryg Berniece Lynn, editor of Oracle, Tim Sullivan, editor of thc Blue and Whitey Jim Stutzman, business lnanager of Oracle, Glenn Tanner, business manager of Blue and XVl1iteg August Schroeter, yell leader. Instead of holding a carnival to bring in more funds, the executive council held the student body assembly. An admission of five cents was charged. All school talent was used. This program closed the main activities of a successful year. F aculty, 1934-1935 ENGLISH DEPARTMENT DOROTHY ALBAUGH-A. B. University of Washington. AHLIDA G. BALLAGH-A. B. University of California.

Instead of the usual one council member from each district, a council member came from each school. The group decided upon being just a legislative body omitting ottieers. This plan worked successfully considering the change. The first event of the year was the Freshman Stunt. The stunt proved good and introduced to the student body many talented new- comers. A party honoring those who took part in the stunt was one of the greatest events of the year. The group also proved very handy by cleaning the gym after the annual student body dance and by managing the check room for several other organizations. The meetings at the beginning of the year were very successful and later the group disbanded because the greater part were excused to join the debate advisory, where they took part in a series of 185 debates run off by that group. Several of our members took part in the Student Body Hevue, which was instituted this year to replace the annual student carnival. The council voted to continue the enlarged council plan into the sophomore year and representatives have been chosen from each school district. Officers will be elected in the fall. Maybe we have been the pioneers of a new and more representative form of class government for our high school. Sophomore Class OR the enterprising sophomore, the school year of 1934-35 has been an unusually profitable and successful one. After electing class ofiicers at the beginning of the year, the class had charge of refreshments at tl1e Annual Student Body Dance. One of tl1e earlier events of the season was tl1e Sophomore Stunt, presented ill November. It cleverly depicted tl1e contrast of life in 1864 and 1934, showing the daily life, entertainment and fashions of the two periods. Several class meetings were successfully held throughout the year, each featuring an excellent program. At the Annual Sophomore Dance, held on March 8, lights and decorations of many colors beautifully carried out the rainbow color scheme. A unique and much-publicized feature of the dance was the pot of gold' given to the winner of the prize waltz. The class has been well represented in athletics and debate. Several sophomores are accomplished members of the tennis team, and the girls have carried oft' the championships for both soccer and association.

White Jack Reynolds Ray Daly George Hanawalt Leo Paine Junior Class NDER the able advisorship of Mrs. Grace Hugunin Pollock, the Junior Class enjoyed a busy and progressive school year during 1934-1935. The juniors managed all publicity for the Annual Student Body Dance. A genuine Christmas motif--including even a jolly Santa Claus falias Charley Andersonj who distributed candy canes-prevailed at the class dance, given in the boys' gym on December 14. Television was the theme of thc annual class stunt, presented on March 1. The stunt, an original script by Robert Symmes, was a cleverly humorous and futuristic fantasy concerning the experiences of George XVashington when he visited Mars in 1965. The junior boys won the Interclass T rack Meet. Their class sisters annexed the Interclass Speedball Championship. The Whittier Glee Club, sponsored by the juniors, presented an entertaining program in the auditorium 011 April 8. Near the close of the school year, a dinner was held for all past and present class officers and council 1Tl6lIlb6I'S. The Junior-Senior Prom on June ti was a grand success.

The class has been well represented ill the activities of the school. Some members have been most outstanding in debating and public speaking. They have taken many honors in their four years of high school. Other members have represented the class well in confer- ence and interclass athletics, and dramatics. The most interesting stunt this year was the Little Red School House, presented by the senior class under the direction of Miss Emily Wentner. The class dance was a great success, which carried out the Hal- loween motif and was well attended. There has been a very enthusiastic turnout for the senior play, Growing Pains, which promises to be one of the best plays in the history of the school. The seniors are ready to give their loyal sup- port to Miss Robinson. Members of the class council are: Dorothy Hanawalt, Marie Nichols, Marie Etcheverry, Bernice Willialns, Pauline Cozby, Bill Varuer, Dick Price, Jess Jones, Robert Stiern, Warren Coats, Mar- garet Jackson, Barbara Day, Bernice Steward, Mary Heffernan, Bill Griffis, Eleanor Pasquini, Raechel Rankin.

CECILLE IVIQMILLIAN CARRIE BELL NEAL ROBERT SAPP ROBERT SAVVYER CLARENCE SIKOLA ALLEN SNIDER UYEOKA National Champions BY VIRTUE of two state championship titles, Dorothy Hanawalt, .less Jones and David Goldberg accolnpanied by their coach, Mr. NV. K. Peterson, tl1rougl1 the effort and interest of local sup- porters, journeyed 2,500 miles to Kent, Ohio, to compete in the National Speech Tournalnent. Mr. Peterson initiated the speakers, honors by capturing second place in the unusual contest for coaches, which was judged by the outstanding students of speech at the tournament. A spectacular showing was made by the State Championship Debate Tealn, Dorothy Hanawalt and Jesse Jones, when they success- fully survived the quarter finals, defeating the state cl1a111pions of New York, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Kansas, bowing only to the national champions of South Dakota. Jess Jones competing against the nations best orators, reached the quarter finals with his oration Money Bondage. The crowning event of forensic history at K. C. H. S. was realized when David Goldberg achieved tl1e national championship in extem- poraneous speaking. Mr. Goldberg captured six out of a possible seven first places by discussing the topic Our Next Presidentu in the championship contest. The presentation of his winning speech over a coast to coast hookup on the national network perhaps brought more fame and honor to Kern County and Bakersfield High School than heretofore achieved. The Bakersfield squad was greeted by a brilliant reception from the whole student body and community leaders on their home-coming, after climaxing the most successful season in forensics K. C. H. S. has ever witnessed! Greeted at the train by Mr. Leo B. Hart, student leaders, and the famous music of the nationally known Kern County Band under the direction of Harold J. Burt, the squad was escorted amid flowers, Blue and VVhite decorations, applause and enthusiastic cheers, to the stadium where the heartiest and warmest welcome in recent years was given by the entire student body and outstanding supporters of tl1e community. Mr. Alfred Harrell, representing The Bakersfield Californian, Mr. Herman Spindt, principal of K. C. H. S., and Mr. Walter Osborn of the High School Board, gave their sincere congratulations to the whole school for having made such a brilliant showing for the interests of Kern County and K. C. H. S. nationally. The entire debate squad wishes to extend its sincere and heartfelt appreciation for the interest, encouragement and stimulus received from all of Kern County's loyal supporters. Welcome Home ABOVE is pictured the biggest Welcome Home in the history of Kern Lounty Union High bchool. The top picture shows the happy smiles of the state and national champions after the tre- mendous reception. The second picture shows Mr. Alfred Harrell, a sincere friend of Kern County Union High School, expressing his congratulations to the debaters and to the student body as a whole.

The school weekly was also awarded a certificate of merit at the Southern California Press Conclave for submittiii the winning feature story, written by Barbara Aldrich. Special editions appeared three times during the course of the year. The six-page football number, printed in blue ink and vividly illustrated with pictures of thc gridsters, was favorably received. At a later date the Pink Pelican, razz sheet, was a cause for campus hilarity. On May 2 the special spring edition went off the press, its six pages being made available to over 800 freshmen. Faithful reporters made possible the prompt appearance of the paper and enough space is not afforded here to praise properly their work.

Wilcox The Oracle PUT away carefully in a cupboard, to be shown on annual Visitors' Day in this high school, were some copies of old Oracles. In 1902 the first Oracle was created in the form of a monthly magazine. It was first issued in 1908 as a biannual production in bound volume form. After being published only twice a year, it reached its final stage of an annual publication in 1915. At this time Principal Ludden abolished the mid-term graduation ceremonies, thus eliminat- ing the need of a publication to hold the graduating seniors' pictures. Through these years, until 1931, a section at the back of the yearbook was used as the Junior College record. The shape and size of different editions have been changed often. This year it is in the standard Oracle dimensions, but it is of a generous and inviting thickness. This year the hard-working staff began its work immediately so that Oracles could be distributed earlier in June. A hundred more books have been issued this year than last. An enlarged snap and joke section, a complete record of athletic events, both in picture and wordg snappy write-ups in all lines of school activities, and views of the campus for section divi- sions, help make the Oracle a complete record of the school year 1934-1935 for future years. It is also hoped that in the years to come this book will give as much enjoyment to former students as the back editions, kept for exhibition and occasional reference, give to students now. -lICNVl'I'l I' XVICLDON l'AI!'I'l'IIi DAVIS HENDSUII IIOLLANl1SVVl7lK'l'lI U'Nl'IlI.L Mfjlllt JORDAN DAVY Editor. , ,, ,, ., Business Manager ,,,,,.,.

In the same league Han- cock, reteamed with Jones, met and defeated an experienced team from Santa Ana. Journeying to Phoenix, Arizona, for an inter-state debate, Jones and Hanawalt were defeated by the Arizoniansg how- ever, in an unofficial debate at the same time, Nichols and Cheno- weth retaliated by winning. Jones and Hanawalt, and Hancock and Goldberg debated Coalinga in December in two exhibition debates and won both decisions. Jones, Hanawalt, Nichols and F anucchi won the county championship and the same affirmative team and a slightly changed negative team, consisting of Hancock and Nichols, defeated Sanger for the valley title. The only three-man team of the year, consisting of Chenoweth, Goldberg and Jones, by defeating Franklin High School, won tl1e highest rank in the Southern California Conference for K. C. H. S. and the right to debate in the championship debate with Hollywood. Bakersfield lost the Fresno tournament this year although we entered six teams: Goldberg and Hancock, Nichols and Chenoweth, and Hanawalt, Pyle and Besone, Sheldon and Fanucchi, Ingalls and Stan- field. The first two teams mentioned were the only Bakersfield team to survive the preliminariesg however, Goldberg and Hancock reached the semi-finals. The debate experience gained in this tourna- ment quite compensated for the squad's defeat. Hanawalt and Jones made a spectacular showing by winning nine out of ten debates at Debate tt'UN'I lNlfl'IlYj the Redlands' tournament and becoming this year's state champions by defeating Los Angeles in the finals 4-1. At Redlands this team met and defeated our friends from Ripo11, who previously won the Fresno tournament. Jess and Dorothy are to be sent back to the national tournament at Kent, Ohio. Bakersfield again this year won the N. F. L. cup for the highest ranking school at the state tourna- ment. By winning three valley speech titles this year, Bakersfield debaters established a record that can be rivaled by few schools. In tl1e course of the last three years, K. C. H. S. has won eight out of nine possible valley championships. In 1933, Helen Curran, Jim Logan, Gertie VVachob and Bob Moon won the valley debate. Jim and Helen won first and second in extemp, while Gertie and Bob were a victorious first and second in oratory. In 1934, Stuart Cheno- weth, William Neil, Dorothy Hanawalt and Marie Nichols repeated the debate victory, and David Goldberg won the valley extemp. In 1935 Bakersfield again mowed down all opposition, with Hancock, Nichols, Hanawalt and Jones capturing debate honors, Jess Winning the oratory contest, a11d Doris placing first in tl1e valley extemp. The only valley contest our silver-tongued speakers did not win was the oratory in 1934, which they did not enter. A truly championship record! One of the most spectacular triumphs of tl1e debate season was made by Doris Hancock and Stuart Chenoweth, who, in the final debate of the year, defeated a veteran team from Hollywood High School for the championship of the Southern California League. This league is one of the oldest in the county, having been founded 33 years ago, and is recognized nationally for its fine quality of debating. K. C. H. S. may feel especially proud of winning this title, since it is the only major debate championship in California that Bakersfield, until this year, had never won. A fitting victory, indeed, to close a successful year! fl. r Oratory, Extempo, Declamation IN ADDITION to bringing home valley, state and Southern Cali- fornia debate honors, Bakersfield speakers likewise claimed vic- tory in almost every oratorical and extempore contest in which they entered. The year opened with the county extemporaneous speak- ing contest with Taft, in wl1icl1 Bakersfield entered Hancock, Jones, Ilanawalt and Fanucchi. First place was won by Hancock, with Jones and Hanawalt third and fourth. As a result of her victory in the county championship, Doris competed in tl1e valley extemp con- test, again winning first place and the title of valley champion. At the Redlands tournament, Goldberg repeated his last year's record by winning the California state championship in extemporaneous speaking, thereby earning tl1e distinction of being the only person lo win a state title twice in succession. In the same championship contest Hancock won a much-deserved second. As the crowning triumph i11 this field, Goldberg, competing against entrants fro111 24 states, was crowned the best extempore speaker i11 the nation. In oratory Bakersfield was almost equally successful. YVith three contestants having been entered in the county contest, Jones, Nichols and Hanawalt, Jones made a splendid showing by tying with Graham for first place and the valley title, while Nichols won fourth place. In the state championship finals in oratory, in which 23 contestants from all California were entered, Jones and Nichols won fifth and sixth respectively. Jones was our oratorical representative at Kent, Ohio. At Redlands, Bakersfield's only representative in oratorical declamation was Chenoweth, who made a very good showing. On the whole, K. C. H. S. may be very proud of its orators and extempore speakers, and it is only to be hoped that, in the future, they may be able to maintain the precedent they have established. GOTADRERG HANAWALT JONES NICHOLS FANUCCHI HANCOCK . Champlons THIS page was originated for and dedicated to champions. VVhile few grace its surface 1t IS kept ahve by the hard work and strivings of many. The speech squad believes and knows that champions are made of hard work, co-operation, rigid self and group discipline and that real achievement is not accidental. Letis examine a few champions-take smiling Jess J ones-he began moulding him- self for this page as a sophomore, with county, valley and state cham- pionships. What about Doris Hancock, Sierra League speaker champion, county, valley, Southern California and state extempore and debate championships, and then there is Dorothy Hanawalt, sophomore flash, junior, Northern California League winner, county, valley and state debate champion. Let's not overlook Marie Nichols, sophomore debater, Northern California League junior winner, county, valley debate winner and finalist in state oratory. I see Stuart Chenoweth's picture above-Stuart demonstrated real ability as a junior orator and came on as a senior to team up with Doris Hancock in winning the all-important Southern California debate championship-a real champion. Is that Dave Goldbergis picture I see, ol1, yes, he won some championships also-sophomore oratorical and extemp champion, county, valley, state extemp, champion as a junior, state allfl national champion as a senior. What a junior on this page? Oh, yes, John Fanucchi, sophomore leader and junior county champion, keep it up John. Wlieli you know these leaders personally, then you realize why they are champions--honest, sincere, co-operative, appreciative, humble, love K. C. H. and all it stands for, give everything they have for it-and so we say, more power to the champions, they earn it and K. C. H. S. is proud of them-may this page continue to carry high the colors of K. C. Orantes Forum HE Orantes Forum speech honorary society of K. C. H. S. originated in 1931-32 for the purpose of sponsoring and en- couraging the development of speech, leadership and character and to associate for common good those students who are outstanding in forensic activities. This organization has, without exception, the highest qualifications of any speech organizations in the United States. Some of the unusually strict requirements are: 1. The applicant must have attained his or her junior year. 2. The applicant must have competed in three or more inter- scholastic forensic contests. 3. The applicant must deliver at public discussion of not less than fifteen minutes on some current topic, and must answer satisfactorily any and all questions put before him hy any member of the club that are relevant to the discussion. 4 A typewritten copy of the the111c must he in the hands of the president of the organization one week prior to the public appearance. The forum is open to a limited number of students out of thc entire stude11t body. This organization has complete charge of all competitive speech activities including the Debate Luncheon Cluh, community programs, etc. The fact that our sophomores uphold the school in the Sierra League against other varsity squads of smaller schools Within the county is of unusual interest. Of even greater interest is the spirit which is shown by almost one hundred freshmen who meet every day in a Freshlnan Forensic Advisory. It is from these students that Orantes Forum members are later selected. Membership into this organization is the goal of every orator, debater a11d speaker-leader of our school. Initiation is an impressive candlelight ceremony carried out in formal dress. President .............. Vice-President ........ Secretary ........... ...... . .. Sergeant-at-Arms ....,,.,.

The league, composed of schools from Delano, Shafter, VVaseo, McFarland, Taft and Bakersfield eonvenes annually to hold debating, oralory, and extemporaneous contests. Taft and Bakersfield, being the largest schools, are restricted to using only freshmen and sophomore debaters. Morton Block won first place in oratory this year and the squad is very pleased with this accomplishment. As a new experiment this year, tl1e Orantes Forum sponsored a debate tournament between Bakersfield sophomores and juniors, a cup going to the winners. Boyd Lammiman and VVayne Long were the champion team of the contest. Members of the league from this school are as follows: Betty Zoe Porter, Helen Baldwin, Barbara Doss, Marie Stanfield, Ruth Kliewer, Sylvia Winer, Evelyn Abbott, Bette Hodson, Marjorie Stiles, .lane Karpe and Hazel Morto11. The boys on the team are: George Hanawalt, Lyle York, Bill Cur- ran, Glen Holland, Morton Block, Boyd Lilllllllllllall, Duane Mears and Wayne Long. Richard C. Newmeyer is the squad advisor. The squad has had a very successful year, and hope that future sophomores will be able to uphold the high record that has been achieved. are S KN 1' Y IY. Senior Play HE most amusing Hllli successful play of the year was presented by the seniors, Friday, May 10. Due to the good work of the publicity staff and co-operating seniors, the auditorium held its largest audience for an evening performance since 1929. Growing Pains was written hy Aurania Bonverol, the author of 'fSkidding a11d It Never Bainsf, both of which have heen pre- sented here. The action of the play is laid in the patio of the Melntyre residence in a university town of northern California. The plot revolves around the period of adolescence of George and Terry Melntyre. George falls in and out of love-of course, with the wrong girl-and Terry insists upon a formal fwithout a haekj, lligll heeled slippers and earrings.

This was a comedy of young love, dealing with California, real estate, university life, husbands and wives, sons and daughters, and several other ingredients that go to make up today's average home. The production was one of New York's smartest, most wholesome and longest run comedy hits of the year. It presented in three joyous acts another typically American play of youth, lniddle age and college. VVhen introduced in New York il played out three theater leases, so great was its popularity. THE CAST Principal ll1C1l1DCI'S of the cast were: Burnice Steward, J. D. Page, Genese Dunham, Dorothy Courtwright, Nadi11e Jordan, Robert Hocking, Mary Frances Ashby, Denise Brisson, Gene YVood, Barbara Thrasher, Earl Miller, Ann Hall, Betty Mae Johnson. The play was directed by Miss Ethel Robinson and l1er assistants. On the production staff were Betty O'Brien, Pete Gilli, Sam Himo- vitz, De Losse Poe, Leland Blalock, Martha Benson, Patricia King, Madaline Casselman and Leonard Winters. l Q, -.I io' S . Student Body Dance ' I 'HE student body executive C0lllIIllllCC decided to sponsor another Student Body Da11ce which marked the fifth annual dance of its kind. The dance this year officially opened the student hodyls social calendar. It was held the early part of tl1e fall semester in the boys' gymnasium on Friday, September 28, at 9 o'clock. The dance was sport this year due to popular demand. Music was furnished by Jimmie North a11d His Gentlemen. As for the decorations they were the best ever. The gym was decorated in a modernistic motif of Blue and Wliite. The orchestra stand was adorned with beautiful potted palms and flowers. The floor show, contributed by members of the various classes, began at 11 o'clock and offered a l1alf hour of splendid performance. The real work of the dance was divided up among the four classes. The seniors had charge of decorations under the very capable direc- tion of Miss Jacobs. The advertisement COIIllllll.l66 was very suc- cessfully handled by the junior class, under the supervision of Mrs. Pollock. The sophomores, with the aid of Miss Troy, had charge of the refreshments. And leaving to the freshman class the most popular, but undesirable portion of the dance, the clean-up. The reception committee headed by David Goldberg, our presi- dent, Arthur Curran, Rosemarie Gilli, Berniece Lynn, Jim Stutzman, Tim Sullivan, Glenn Tanner, greeted members of the faculty and many friends, who shared in the fun and frolic of the members of the student body attending the dance. ,Ll xallfl I. 1' Musicians' Club URING the fifth year of its organization, the High School Musicians' Club has been an outstanding influence in the musical affairs of the school and connnunity. Through the short programs which preceded the monthly meetings of the club, the students learned to appreciate and understand good 1llllSiC. The sponsorship of a series of vesper services in the local churches promoted music appreciation in the community. The first of the vesper services featured Alan B, Parker and his J. C. String Quartet at the Methodist Church. Mr. Parker and his quartet, assisted by Dorothy Smith and .lack Vtfhite, gave the second vesper at the Episcopal Church. The third vesper, at the Congrega- tional Church on May 12, was presented by the High School Boys' Glee Club directed by Miss Ruth Morgan. During the year the new club pins were selected and ordered. Representatives fI'0lll the club assisted in the Southern San Joaquin Valley Piano Contest, sponsored by the Music Teachers' Association. On April 29 the club gave a student assembly, presenting Hugh VVellington Martyn, Canadian baritone, who was most enthusias- tically received by the student body. Frances Garrard,. ,,... .

My High School-Junior College Orchestra HE High School-Junior College Orchestra participated i11 many school and civic affairs. The high list of the year's activities culminated in the animal concert given in ll1e Auditorium on May 3. Particularly noteworthy was the fact that the orchestra was capable of presenting in a creditable manner the entire T schaikowsky Sixth Symphony tPathetiqueJ. The program was rounded out by the addition of three other interesting numbers-Lecuona's Malaguena, Grofeis H011 the Trail and Johann Strauss,s The Bati' overture. Some other important appearances of the orchestra during the year were at the Student Body Play, the Senior Play, the Elks Me- morial Program at the F ox Theatre, the Public Schools Program at the Masonic Temple, the High School Music Festival at Wasco where the orchestra performed, as well as accompanied the combined High School Choruses of the county under the direction of Mr. John Sn1alln1a11 of Los Angeles, and finally, the Annual Baccalaureate Service.

The band also represented the school in a creditable manner by appearing in all important parades in the city, some of them being: Frontier Days Celebration and Rodeo, Armistice Day, Chinese Gen- eral's Parade, Merchants' Bargain Week and Flower Festival. The big parade for the year, of course, was the Pasadena Tournament of Roses, which the hand took part in for the fourth consecutive year. The hand's annual concert on April 25, in the Auditorium, was the highlight of the year from the standpoint of concert performance. Other concerts were given at Beale Park during Music Week, at the Arvin Flower Festival and at the Progressive Clubis Mother's Day program in Jefferson Park. The final performance of the band was the Commencement Exercises at Griffith Stadium.

Boys' Glee Club HE mastery of a more serious and ditiicult type of music was the particular goal set for the Boys' Glee Club during the past year. Compositions by choral writers such as Bach, Brahms and Arcadelt, were practiced a greater part of the time. In May an all Bach program was presented at the Annual Vesper Service which was given at the Congregational Church. The singing experience at the Music Festival, under the direction of John Smallman Quoted choral conductorj, served as an added incentive toward the accom- plishment of a finer singing performance. Among the many engagements filled during the year the most important were: Teachers, Institute, the Christmas Pageant, the An- nual .lunior College Play, the Music Festival at Wasco, programs over both the local radio stations, Baccalaureate and Commencement. In the latter part of May, the club joined with the Musicians' Club to plan a dance and card party which proved to be the most enjoy- able social event of the year.

The girls presented programs for the Teachers, Institute, Farm Bureau, Girl Reserve Convention, the Christmas Pageant given at the school auditorium, the Progressive Club Mother's Day Program, the City Teachers' Club Breakfast, Girl Reserve Vesper Service, in addition to other appear- ances during Music Week, and the customary Commencement program. Probably the greatest inspiration in performing fine choral music was afforded the girls when they sang at the Wasco Music Festival, under the baton of Jolm Smallman, eminent choral conductor from Los Angeles. The fourth annual concert tea was held on Mother's Day. The club used the Sallie white uniforms and emblems of worthy membership were presented to eight seniors. The trio, composed by Betty 0,Brien, Dorothy Johnson and Gretchen Stelzner, deserves much credit for representing the club on numerous social, fraternal and radio programs.

The Big and Little Sister activities were tl1e first on the list, with a Freshman welcoming party and a 110011 dance for new students. Something new in the way of entertainment was a dessert bridge party held at the Wo1nan's Club. Added attraction was a fall fashion show and a program. A new enterprise sponsored by the Social Service Committee was an evening of entertainment presented i11 the auditorium with the SERA workers and their families as special guests. This committee also co-operated with the Hi-Y in the organization of the Christmas baskets. Three stunt assemblies were presented during the year, and a con- cert by the Occidental NVomen's Glee Club was sponsored. For the first time an exchange program was held with Taft and received enthusiastically. Delegates were sent to the Girls, League Conventions 3 the first one was held at Levingston and the second was held at Los Angeles High School. A series of noon dances proved popular, also a spring tea given in honor of graduating seniors and past officers. The year closed with a candle ceremony and the installation of new officers.

That was followed by soccer which was VVOII by the sophomores. An informal party was held after school during the fall semester at which the new members were initiated and several felt Bs were awarded to the girls who had earned the necessary llllle hundred points. The Girls, Athletic Association sponsored the Fresno Slate Band on March 25.

This society was the tlrst major organization of importance in school, and held as its main objective, the development of higher ideals in lIlallllO0d. The Big B Society gradually grew in number and prestige until today it is the most honored body in the high school. The present school membership now exceeds sixty well developed and able minded athletes who have fulfilled the requirements in the four major sports of football, basketball, baseball and track. Letter- mcn in the auxiliary to the Big B consist of the minor sports of golf and tennis. Members of the school year who have been outstanding on various committees and in promoting the first annual Big BU Banquet are: George Voll, Forest Cassidy, Joe Davis, Peter Gilli, Ray Sturgill, Bill llolmquisl, Bill VVord and Art Curran.

Under the supervision of Nadine Jordan, the goal posts and the stadium were decorated for all the football games and the Bakers- field relays. The dance and stunt were acclaimed the best of the year. The Big Bs aided the Shriekers on both of these activities. Other activities the Shriekers sponsored were a song contest, the selling of pom-poms and school emblems. The last year has been the Shriekers most successful year for quite some time. Perhaps the flact that Miss H. McLean was the advisor had something to do with t is.

Very unexpectedly the chapter gave their annual play in Decem- ber, this yearis selection being It,s a Gift,', which was performed with great success. Barbara Thrasher, Martha Benson, Robert Symmes and Bill Varner played the leading roles. A reception with refreshments was held for the new members in February, and in March a new C. S.

They are always ready to serve any task that is given them for the betterment of the school. During the year they were responsible for several luncheons and several school activities. Their biggest act was the sponsoring of the Courtesy Week and Courtesy Contest. The Student Service Club bases its foundation on the Knights and Squires of the Hollywood High School by dividing the club into two groups: The juniors and seniors as Knights and the sophomores as Squires. They can be identified by the sweaters that they wear. Those in the picture from left to right are: Mr. Johnson, Jack Cornwell, Bill Varner, Neil P-oss, Leslie Hackney, Pete Packard, Jim Stutzman, Robert Stiern, Everett King, Dick Price and Glenn Tanner.

It is a character building organization which prepared girls of high school age for present and future leadership. The purpose of the Girl Reserves is to find and give tl1e best. A Girl Reserve strives to live a well-rounded life, developing all three sides of her life: the mental, spiritual, and the physical. In October 1931, after many requests for such an organization, this club was started in Bakersfield High School by Miss Barnes. At that time there was only 0116 group, however, at the beginning of the second selnester, another group for sophomore, junior and senior girls was organized by Miss Howell. The next year the sophomore group was formed by Miss Nelson, and i11 tl1e following year still another was organized by Miss Lois Smith. This year 0934-351 the club has made its most rapid growth, has been more active in the school, and has added to its staff of advisors Miss Guida, Miss Graham, Miss Prescott and Miss Moritz. Their 1Il0St outstanding work of the year has been the Annual Mid-YVinter Conference, which was held in Bakersfield ill March. Two hundred and fifty girls fro111 out of town were entertained. Be- sides presenting the Christmas pageant, the Girl Reserves sponsored the high school string quartette in a vesper service. The social activities of the combined groups have been dinners and an tea i11 the f0I'lIl of a world topr: They have been served in , 4 ' J l.

Membership fees were abolished in order to let in everyone. These students were to plan and participate in the programs but the plan failed at this point when the students apparently lost interest. Interesting correspondence was carried on with students in foreign countries. In May the club sponsored the U. S. C. Trojan Orchestra and combined glee clubs. This program was quite successful, and some profit was made. With the money from the assembly we plan to send a Friendship Health Chest for Mexican rural schools to some out-of-the-way place in Mexico. In it will be medical supplies including anti-venom kit for snake bites, story books and equipment for games, including baseball and volleyball. The State Federation requested that with the movie camera and films furnished, pictures be taken of the K. C. H. S. campus where the third state convention was held. This was done by Robert Symmes. The officers of the club are: Josephine Jewett, president, Bessie Brite, secretaryg Mary Gardett, treasurerg Phyllis Champion, in charge of publicity. Y M5 . Home Economics Club THE Home Economics Club this year has been made up of two active n1e111bersh1p groups, the junior-semor group and the fresh man-sophomore group. All girls enrolled in the department are associate members and may participate in many of the activities sponsored by the advisory groups. No dues are charged. Tl1c ofticers are Marion Silicz, presidentg Jean Rench, vice-presi- dent, Adelaide Haley, secretary-treasurer the fall term, a11d Ann McCutcheon holding the latter ottice the spring term, Laura Hughes, freshman-sophomore chairman. Standing chairmen are Barbara Baca, membershipg Pauline Coulter, publicityg Irene Hancock, fall semester, and Marian Robbins, spring semester, program. Advisors are Mrs. Mabelle Riedesel and Miss Margaret Morgan. The aims of the club are three-fold, to contribute to the social life of its members, to inspire them educationally, and to actively enlist them in service to tl1e school and community. Co-operation in the raising of money for activities, enjoyment of occasional advisory period dances, and the production of the annual stunt and fashion show Blue Moon fulfilled the first aim. The holding of the con- vention for Valley Home Economics Clubs April 6, the bringing of speakers on travels to other countries, and on fabrics and styles, the undertaking of a project on child care satisfied the second aim. Service to school and community was atforded by assisting the Faculty Wives Club with the dinner for the Student Aid Fund, assist- ing the Parent-Teacher Association in serving refreshments, making toys to distribute to needy children at Christmas time, and co-opera- tion with the Student Body Christmas Drive. The club has enjoyed an outstanding year and plans a better pro- gram still during the coming year. Future Farmers of America THE Bakersfield Chapter of Future Farmers of America is one of a large group of chapters consisting of organized farm boys that work in the California l1igl1 schools. XVe have a membership in this state of over 7,000 boys. Then, too, almost every state in the Union has a similar organization and together our chapters make up the national movement. The purpose of this organization is to help farm boys get started in successful farming and to develop rural leadership. Our Bakersfield Chapter has helped over 2,000 boys carry on home project work in agriculture. It has also been a big factor in making it possible to finance these boys in such a way that the members could receive individual loans of over 5B115,000 from the local banks. When boys are able to borrow money in these large amounts it makes it possible for them to buy good purebred stock to use in starting foundation herds of hogs, dairy cattle, beef cattle and flocks of sheep. The fact that they are recognized as owners of some of the best stock in the state means that they have an oppor- tunity for resale of stock to very good advantage to themselves, and in this way are quite financially safe. Members of our chapter have been successful in exhibiting at the California State Fair each year since 1920. VVe exhibited the Grand Champion Holstein cow last year. In both the Los Angeles Fat Stock Show and the San Francisco Fat Stock Show our members sold thousands of dollars Worth of stock, which money has come back to the boy owners here in Kern County and is helping them to develop larger projects for this next year. We believe this last year's opera- tions under the direction of our president, Leslie Hackney, have been exceptionally successful and are doing much to help our members start right i11 the farming business. Secretary Bakersfield Chapter F. F. Au, ,,,,, ,.,.,,..

Press Club MEMBERS of tl1e staffs of the Blue and White for the first and second semester, organized themselves into a Press Club recently a11d had their picture taken for the Oracle. Active members decided to have a literary magazine to be pub- lished in class every Friday. Five different persons each week will take turns editing the magazine. Jane Collins was elected president of the club and Eloise Lambert, secretary. Before this went to press three of the literary magazines had been published. Editor-in-chief of the first publication was Russell Blairg second, Phyllis Champion, third, Irving VVolfe. Great improvement is shown in each successive work. Although slightly rushed, the first issue was excellently turned out, Nadine Jordon being outstanding in writing short stories, each show- ing a clear train of through. In the second publication Mary Alice Thompson wrote five of the seven stories and poems, her poetry being exceptionally good. Better balance was shown in the third, everyone writing equally well. The complete list of members is as follows: Barbara Aldrich, Mary Ellen Allen, Russell Blair, Willene Camp, Hazel Carr, Phyllis Champion, Jane Collins, Maurice Coombs, Winifred Coulter, Vir- ginia Dunn, Lonnie Fox, Jerrie Fleming, Odis Freeman, Myrl Gribble, George Handis, Cherry Hering, Nadine Jordan, Eddie Kirk, Eloise Lambert, Jane Mecham, Dolores Meyers, Dan O'Neill, Henry Plum- mer, Bunty Ross, Mary Alice Thompson, Irving XVolfe, Emelyn Haworth. The first semester list is as follows: Tim Sullivan, Marietta Ashby, Bee Allen, Frank Kuest, Roger Hollandsworth, Albert Finn, Bob Bailey, John Snider, Doris Ninas, Glenn Tanner, Jack Cornwell. Student Architectural Association URING the past years the Student Architectural Association has carried on a very successful program, organized for the purpose of increasing student knowledge in architecture. The club is com- posed by the majority of the best students enrolled in the third or fourth year architectural courses. The association this year was very successfully carried on by their president, George Voll. Skyhawks HE SKYHAWKS, the high school's group of aerial eagles, has been one of the most active groups in the schools. Monthly contests are the main activity of the club, while the daily meeting is devoted to discussing topics relative to aviation and avia- tion in general. It is a well-known fact that model aircraft building is useful to those who are planning to enter aviation as a profession. Therefore, the hobby is educational as well as a lot of fun.

'Wm-jf A E4 fa, 23452319 gf, - by Q.,-wfwf, Driller Football TWVENTY-SIX years back, from out of the wilderness of Iowa came a man unknown, unheard-of, and probably unthought of. But not for long. In his role as head coach of football, basketball, baseball and track, this same find changed Bakersfield high school from a sporting standpoint to the greatest prep institution in Cali- fornia, and possibly the country. Today, in 1935, this same figure, Dwight Moody Griffith by name and more familiarly known as 'tGriff,,' dominates high school prep activity greater and stronger than ever! Why this popularity? Because Gril'f has in him all the qualities necessary for the success and enjoyment of life itself. His master mind and satirical humor are enough in themselves, but on top of this the wily mentor possesses a heart of gold. The students worship him, and to those intimately acquainted with him, Dwight M. Griffith is a most outstanding example of that rare combination of generosity, sincerity and sportsmanship. Congratulations Griff and may you long continue to represent Kern County High School in the field of athletic endeavor! Sandab Football S N I HEN Jack Frost resigned to take over the destinies of Bakers- field Junior College, fans began wondering who would be put on the spoti' in taking his place as head man of the Sandabs. After much consideration, George VVilliamson was selected to succeed the popular Frost. To say he had an awful task was putting it mildly. He had upon his shoulders the burden of keeping intact the sensa- tional Sandab record of four years without defeat! But George went about his task unflinchingly. He changed from the Notre Dame style of play to the U. S. C. system and winded up by adding another un- defeated season and firmly established himself as one of the best liked coaches ever to reach K. C. UP i'e'ifr'f'-We--W--W...i.c. +f- it i . i . , '- Driller Football ALL'S well that ends well, and all that starts well should end well, but in the unique case of the 1934 edition of Coach Griffitlfs Blue Blazes, this rule was altered slightly. His pigskin toters began the campaign auspiciously but ended disastrously, when Merced's Galloping Bears, whom the Drillers swalnped in 1933, pulled the most surprising upset in grid annals by coming on top of a 7-0 score and robbing Griff', of tl1e San Joaquin valley championship. DRILLERS, 19g PORTERVILLE, 0 This initial contest proved that the Drillers were still of champion- ship caliber. Curran and Guthrie shared the hero roles, each garner- ing touchdowns and shining on defense. On the line, Gregg and 0,Conner were outstanding, and Hackney snagged passes out of the bewildering Orange Pickers with apparent ease. It was a sensational victory, and gave advance dope that the HGI'lfTlll611,, were still to be considered in the running for another valley title. DRILLERS, 03 STOCKTON, 6 Three questionable decisions gipped', thc luckless Blue Blazes in their attempt to l1u111ble the Stockton Tarzans.,' In the third quar- ter, it was surely thought a Driller touchdown had been chalked up, but the Ref,' had different ideas. A pass from Voll to Mosconi in the end zone was ruled incomplete because Voll was not back five yards from scrimmage. And in the meantime, the visiting boys crossed the last white barrier in the second quarter on a sensational run by Calvelli, Stockton's pride and joy. DRILLERS, 65 SANTA MARIA, 0 Griff's boys had quite a scare in their first awav-from-home classic until Mr. Jack Guthrie caught a Saint pass intended for some- body else. The hurly fullback romped 55 precious yards to score Driller Football IVONTINVEDJ the only tally of the evening. He received plenty of help from the whole forward wall consisting of Davis, O'Connor, Holmquist, Mul- vana, Grogg, Monroe and Hackney. DRILLERS, 7g SAN LUIS, 7 The big bad VVolves of San Luis high always have a good ball club, and this year proved no exception. Last year San Luis tied the Drillers 7-7 and likewise in 1934 the score was duplicated. The Blue Blazes should have returned the victors but tough luck marred another score. The big shot of this game was again that dynamic fullback, Jack Guthrie, Time and again he broke through for gains averaging 10 yards a clip. Davis and 6'Honk Holmquist stood out like demons on the line, and Voll shared ball carrying honors, along with Curran and Sturgill. DRILLERS, 13g COVINA, 12 Touchdowns by Mosconi and Guthrie, and a very valuable drop- kick by Ray Sturgill spelled defeat for the VVild Covina Colts in the annual Armistice day classic. The Drillers drew first blood by com- pleting a fancy lateral from Sturgill to Guthrie, the latter going over on the next play from the three-yard stripe. Then Covina got hot. Rouch scored on an end run in the second quarter. Again in the second half, this same fellow Rouch explored the promised land to give the Colts a 12-6 lead. Then the fireworks began. Mosconi and Guthrie filled the air with passes, which eventu- ally planted the ball on the five-yard line. In three attempts, a howl finally went up from the throng and announced Mosconi had scored. Then cooly Sturgill stood back, took careful aim and zoomed the ball over the sticks to snatch victory from an apparent defeat. Driller Football tl'0N'l'lNlIl'IIll DRILLICHS, tig FRESNO, 7 After smothering their northern opponents all over the field in the first half Elllfl gaining a ti-0 lead, the Driller machine ran into a snag, fumbled the oval in the third period, and a few plays later Fresno rang up a toucl1dow11 and converted, to squash all Driller hopes of an undefeated season which followers had freely predicted. Marvin Mosconi accounted for K. Cfs score when he snagged a long heave from Gutto,' Guthrie and outscrambled frantic Fresnans to put the fans in hedlam, Up until the time of the fateful fumble, the Blue Blazcs had it all over the 11orther11ers, and had threatened to invade the promised land', 110 less than seven times. DRILLERS, 65 PHOENIX, 6 Journeying down to the beautiful city of Phoenix, Arizona, the Blue Blazes found the reception committee 1101 so welcoming. The Coyotes were reported to possess just a fair bunch of gridsters, but this idea was soon found erroneous as the game progressed. Burr- headt' Curran made K. C.'s six points after the ball had worked to the six-yard line in the second quarter. The Phoenix boys played their hearts out and should he given great credit for their Wonderful spirit and workmanship. DRILLERS, 143 TAFT, 0 Some grid fans prefer to see nothing in the way of local football but the annual Driller-Taft confab. Each year this natural,, for the county title draws upward in the thousands, and in 1934 there was certainly no exception. The game was fought here and amid glaring Blue and Wllite streamers mixed in with our famed band, once more Goldie Griffith directed his warriors to a convincing 14-0 pasting over Paul Johnson's scrappy Wildcat eleven. Guthrie started Driller Football 14'HN'I'lNl!l'IIbj the counting on the famous Mosconi lo Guthrie lateral, and Sturgill lnade a thrilling end zone catch to clinch the game. No man stood out individually in this great seasonal classic, but each Driller gave everything he had Bulldog 0'Conner contributed his greatest game of his career, and Hohnquist, Monroe, Hackney, Grogg, Davis, Curran and Mohr reached the zenith. DRILLERS, 273 F RESNO, 19 lt was a diilerent tale differently told when Griffs charges met Fresno i11 the semi-valley game at Fresno State Coliseum. The Drillers were in top forln. Experts declared the Blue Blazes could have dubbed any prep team in the United States on that particular Saturday. Mosconi, Curran, Guthrie and Sturgill all had a share in the slaughter. DRILLERS, Og MERCED, 7 Here the tale ends, and no sadder one could be told. Bakersfield met Merced for the valley title one sunny day and in the city of Merced. All went well for one quarter. In the second, Merced sent hack DeVours with orders to sling a pass to Hesse over the goal line. This fellow DeVours didn't get l1is signals crossed either. Yes, sir, he cocked hack his trusty left flipper a11d zipped that old pigskin just where the doctor ordered. And the irony of it all was that Mr. Hesse carried out his end of the assignment too. With waiting arms he caught the ball that caused one of the most stunning upsets in high school history. The damage was done. lt was just one of those off days that occurs to all football teams.

Yancey, Garcia and VVatson put on the dog in this first contest by their sturdy defensive play. Yes, sir, those northerners were tough stock until Pierucci cut the icef' e E SANDABS, 44g SELMA, 0 The Sandahs enjoyed a field day at the expense of Selma's grid- sters when they staged a successful ntrack meetv and rolled up 44 points while the victims looked on bewildered. Again Mayeda, Garcia, Yancey, Larson, Echenique and Eddy did their share of the damage. The reserves also received a break. VVilliamson sub- stituted freely and every man who made the trip saw action. SANDABS, 38g KINGSBURG, 0 Too much of that U. S. C. power proved Kingsburg's doom. Scoring in every quarter but the fourth, the Saudabs showed a mass of power. ln winning, XTVilll3lIlS0ll issued the warning that Bakers- field had11,t seen nothingn yet. Gonzales, Corn and Gil were out- standing. Sandab Football SANDABS, 9g GLENDALE, 7 Facing a team which boasted a record almost equal to that of the Sandabs, and probably against tougher opposition, the light- weights after three cautious quarters finally received a break and capitalized on it to return the victors. Valos blocked a punt and while the oval bounced harnilessly over the goal line, Watson pounced on it to score a touchdown. This happened in the dying moments of the game and in the second period Glendale committed a safety. The lightweights look it out on the McFarland heavies in their next encounter and ran roughshod in each quarter to grab an easy win. Each Sandab went right to town and the blocking of the linesmen was thrilling to watch. SANDABS, 13g TAFT, 0 Over at Martin Memorial Stadium at Taft, two of the best light- weight teams in the valley struggled four raging quarters under a cloud of fog. With less than seven minutes left to play, fans believed at last that Pop,' Helma's Bobcats had been able to hold in check the vaunted Sandabs. On the contrary, with the pigskin on the four- Sandab Football l1'UNTINl'I'lIH yard stripe and last down, Verney Austin diminutive quarterback heaved a pass in the wailing arms of .loe Echenique over the goal line. Tl1e11 to make everything complete, Jaussaud hroke loose for a 69-yard gallop that demoralized the desperate T aftians. Thus again the midget Wonders captured another county chalnpionship for Bakersfield high. SANDABS, 26, TEHACHAPI, 0 A journey to the frozen regions of Tehachapi resulted in the Sandabs flllllllflg their consecutive victory string to 48. The regulars saw little action in this contest. VVilliamson put in even the humblest bench warmer and each responded with better than aver- age talent. SANDABS, 205 FRESNO, 0 The grand finale to a grand season terminated Thanksgiving Day when the 'Dabs pounced on Roosevelt High for a convincing tri- umph. Austin, Jaussaud, Larson and Millette were the principal offenders. The first three scored touchdowns and Millette at center downed a Fresnan back of the goal line to account for the two points. This game proved disastrous for Fresno, but for Bakersfield, it ended the fifth consecutive season with nary a defeat. So to Williamson and his marauding midgets, the student body offers its congratu- lations. Sandab Football lI'tlN'I'lNl'I4lIU Here we have the 1934 edition of gallant Sandabs, who under the leadership of George VVilliamson, swept through 7 hard games, colning out on top each time. This seasonal record enabled the mighty midgets to add up a fifth consecutive year without heing defeated or tied. When we recall the struggles faced hy the lightweights over the five-year span, we can easily see just why the record is so phenom- enal. Many a game was saved in the last quarter and closing minutes of play. The old Sandah spirit would tlare up and snatch victory from an apparent defeat. That ever-dogged determination which signaled the midgets to keep fighting u11til the last whistle had hlown poured through their veins. This spirit has never died out. NVe might even say it was stronger than ever last season. At any rate, whenever one mentions aggressiveness, plucky play, grit and spirit4 think of the Sandahs! At the conclusion of spring practice, last May, it became evident that Coach VVilliamson will again have as powerful a lightweight squad next year as Kern County Union High School has ever seen- and that is saying a lot. Anyway, more power to them! itz-Vi Drillers' Season FOR the second successive year, the Driller casaba artists were thwarted in their attempt to win tl1e valley title when Visalia's cage magicians registered a 18-15 triumph over them in the semi- valley tussle on the winner's court. Despite the loss, the 1935 Driller season was more than moderately successful as two thrilling wins were grabbed from the snarling Taft VVildcats that lnade the Blue Blazes again the county champs. DRILLERS, 15g VISALIA, 18 The pre-season dream that Griff had of his boys winning the valley title went up in a cloud of smoke as Visalia's fast-stepping quintet eked out a 18-15 wi11. The northern court had a lot to do with the Driller downfall. It resembled more of a barn dance arena. Guthrie was high-point man with only five. The rest, Coats, Mosconi, Sturgill, VVong, played fine court work but experienced an off-night when it came to tallying points. DRILLERS, 21g TAF T, 14 Playing before hundreds of dyed-in-the-wool basketball fans over at Taft, the Drillers administered Coach Johnson's Wildcats a con- vincing 21-14 shellacking and with it gained the first leg in their quest for tl1e county title. Wong, Mosconi and Sturgill played outstanding ball and Wong was high-point man with five. Fans were dished out six scorching quarters and the lead changed no less than five times. At tl1e end of the fourth period thc score stood 22 all. After one more extra quarter the tally changed nary a bit, but in the sixth period Wong intercepted a Wildcat pass and dumped the dizzy horse- hide in for a set-up to complete the taming of the Taft Wildcat. Warren Coats along with Wong should be given credit for saving the game for Bakersfield in the fourth period. It was he who broke Taft's lead and sent the game into its extra hectic rounds. Class UB Basketball THE 1934 cage season for 'tCap Haralson's proteges was not as successful as expected but, nevertheless, the boys when going right displayed the best dribbling of any of the other two classes. Taft continued their jinx over the middies by copping two straight contests and nabbing the county title, but outside of this, the locals boasted wins over the cream of tl1e county quintets. The middies came out on top against Wasco and Shafter, not to mention numerous pick-up games against all-stars, etc. Cap had a well-rounded quintet centered around Ehyrabide, Etchenique, Austin, Valdez and White. The first two supplied the scoring punch while the latters were brilliant defense men. The rest of the squad was composed of McCarty, Valos, Santabanez, Heffer- nan and Harris. The scores of the two Taft games were 20-10 and 25-15. CLASS B RECORD Middies, 75 Maricopa, 17. Middies, 325 Delano, 21. Middies, 21, Methodists, 18. Middies, 16, Maricopa, 13.

Taft was forced to play three contests with XVilliamson's mighty midgets before the county title was settled. The Peeweighls were heaten in their first game with the VVest Siders, grahhed the second, and lost hy four points in the finale played at Vllaseo. The initial game ended in a 16-7 Count, the second 17-16, and the last 10-fi. Williamson's midget quintet comprised the following players: Moore and Andrews, forwards, Zurker and lleher, guards, and Russell, center. Belief came from Galland, Tatsuna, VVesl, Seeales, Contratto and l-livas. Andrews a11d Moore were class C's deadeyes and helween the two the local points were divided.

Baseball USINKQ a hard-fought battle to Taft by a 5--1 score ill their appear- ance on Grillith Field, thc Drillers set the stage for a later come- back against the VVildcats, which failed to materialize when they dropped a free hitting game to Taft by an 18-6 score on Martin Field. This officially terminated the 1935 Driller baseball season, although the Drillers won their last game with Covina in a post-season contest. 'fGriff', had plenty of material to start, but lack of interest showed itself by the middle of the season. There were 36 out at first, which number dwindled to a lnere 15 at the end. Jim Red,' Moses, sturdy Driller hurler, held Taft in check until the eighth inning, when Dropball,' Roberts, a freshman, came into the game and pitched himself out of a bad hole, but lack of hitting power made him unable to overcome the one-run lead. The Drillers had quite a few practice games, losing and winning from Delano. Defeating Hanford, Covina, and losing close games to Santa Maria, San Luis Obispo and Tulare. Lane Mickey, captain alld catcher of the team, is to be commended on his fine work both in back of the bat and at the plateg besides having the best batting average, he was adjudged the most valuable player on the team. -Q WK X . UT rack Q NOTHER county cinder championship came home to roost when Cap Harelson and his 1935 Bakersfield track squad trimmed Taft, 29 to 19, on the West Side oval, May 14. The chief offenders in this gallant conquest were George Voll, who won three firsts, Fred Frick, the winner of the low hurdles, and the Bondshu brothers, who tied for honors in the mile. George Handis, tl1e midnight express, won the century over Snyder, the Taft favorite, and other point getters were Smith in the shot a11d Mosconi in the hurdles. ln class B Hood, sensational sprinter, established a 220 record in the time of 22.4. O,Connor won the discus and Lucas the shot. Johnny Mackassey won two firsts for class C, namely the discus and shot. Gillette also won the high jump. Although Tulare won the Bakersfield Relays, Cap's coherts came ill second, besides turning in several record performances. Bakersfield again returned victors in the annual 20-30 Tulare Relays, thereby capturing a beautiful trophy offered by the sponsors. The valley track meet, held May 18 at Hanford, found the locals coming in second behind Visalia. Voll shone in all his glory by copping the low hurdles and discus. The interclass meet was won by the juniors, and the seniors, sophomores and freshmen followed in that order. This was followed by meets against Delano and Wasco, as tuneups for the coming major meets. HURDLE RUNNER George Voll, Bakerstield's premier track athlete is shown soaring to victory in the high hurdles fat leftj while Frank Bondshu, sturdy little miler, is shown winning his specialty. Fresno Relays IT WAS in 1928 that a hand of tracksters representing Bakersfield High School swept all competition before them and returned victors in the prep division of the Third Annual Fresno Relays. Throughout the future years, which incidentally were depression ones, i'Cap's crew never regained their former stride and con- sequently a northern team returned the victory. However, siding in with the times, which SCCIII to be getting better, lIaralson's top-notch 1935 crew of 17 stalwarts entered the Ninth Annual Relays this year, and al the conclusion of the gigantic carnival, had mustered 24 points to place first ahead of Poly High of S. F. which annexed 19. George Voll, acclaimed hy many as a future world's champion, VVOII three firsts, namely, the javelin, discus, and tied in the high hurdles. His total of 14 digits topped all scorers in the huge meet. In the medley relay, Poulogianis, Eissler, Packard and F. Bondshu loped home second, to add six points. The other digits were added NVllCll F rick placed third in the discus and 0'Connor repeated in the javelin. This convincing victory was a tribute to the never-tiring work engineered by Mr. Haralson. All the boys represented were developed by Cap and the student body should offer their thanks to him for spreading nation-wide fame to Bakersfield High School's former, present and future track champions. r- .in Tennis Team GIRLS AND BOYS THIS year, as in previous years, the high school tennis team was ably coached by Mr. Forest L. Lynn. Halbert Bing, first ranker on the boys' team, won the San Joaquin Valley singles titleg while Margaret Hendrickson and Andrea Shaw are the girls' doubles county champions. The girls, team defeated Maricopa twice and lost to Taft. The boys defeated Maricopa, lost to Taft, and lost to Wascrm. Golf 'ITHHYMPHANT in its contests with Taft, the Bakersfield Golf Team, at the time this article goes to press, is preparing for the Valley Golf Tournament to be held at Merced on May 25. Under the guidance of Coach George M. XVilliamson, the four best men on the squad will attempt to bring the valley title back to Bakersfield. ln competing for the valley tournament, Harris Eddy and Roland Harlow are outstanding for Bakersfield, while two others will be chosen to represent K.
