Since the beginning of time, man has depended upon this light. When in darkness, he searches tor it: that, by it, he may see. ln despair and discouragement, the rays of faith, hope and progress guide him through his ordeals to triumph. As civil- ization has progressed, man has added the light ot education, so that he might overpower the darkness ot prejudice, misunderstanding and ignorance. Hav- ing but recently emerged from the darkness ot war, with its grief and blood- shed, he is now depending upon the light ot education to point the way to a world ot tolerance, freedom, security and peace. ,4if2f:12- 1' 1- 1-Zfgif 1 f gf, ff' , ,vi2,f' , Z jf . --pl f .X D, , ' T C - :gm ff f fff' 7' J, V, , ' pd , KQ + W ff ff 1 X! if 1 f ,. ,- 'X 4 , 1, 5 ,f f ji K I ,,f 4 n 41 , frfff 4 I ,-' A, 3 ' I 1 427 , aff I ,n bi fi' , , g' f' f .-,, f onoring Miss Frater - Eleanor Frater - who is loved by far more students than those who have been in her history classes . . . For us all she is a symbol of guidance and counsel admin- istered in the most understanding manner. Miss Frater came to K. C. in l92O. Because of her outstanding ability and the effic' ient manner in which she carried on her work, she was soon made head of the history department - a position she still holds. Each student through the years has felt he held her personal interest so that he shared individually in her kindness and thoughtfulness. Her graciousness has been an inspiration and her leadership a continuing benefit to the school she has served. lt is to this beloved member of our faculty that we dedicate the 1948 Oracle. n the ight of Memory Wanda Pettit '48 Wilma Nix'49 'T' l Glynn Jones '48 l am the light ofthe worldg he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. l i l fU'!iZlYl0f71UlZUfZ ' f Q ff' Qi X x fxy N JL f' sl ' M f QA!

This task was admir- ably accomplished, and Mr. Hedge met all responsibilities, whether they were giving advice and answering questions or handling the intricate de- tails of school administration, with the some cheerfulness and certainty that made him esteemed by all. Assisting Mr. Hedge in much of his business was Miss Barbara Tucker, his secretary. Familiar to all, Miss Tucker handled school correspondence, kept the official calendar, and assisted with the planning and scheduling of many school activities. Together they formed a vital wheel about which the entire school turned. xec Committee ies ek.-ek , iw: T Diligently upholding the high standards of leadership set by preceding committees, THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE of l947'48 worked hard to give Bakersfield High School the fine year it had. Head of the student body was Jack Buster, president, who conducted the meetings in his usual efficient way. Syl Mc- Ninch, Jack's right hand man, was vice-pres- ident and Micky Hickman acted as secretary for the year. Selected to be business manager was Clayton Mack, who ably held his post. Norma Garrone was the one who so creditably edited the Oracle. Yearbook credit also goes to Harvey Dana, Oracle business manager. Hard-working Blue and White editor was Ann Cierley, assisted by Zello Blakeney, Blue and White business manager. Chief song leader for Kaycee was vivacious Shir-Lee Burt, whose assistants were Karin Waterman and Bobbie Sams. Doss Smith, main yell leader, was aided by Lloyd Best and Duane Mydland. They helped to boost school spirit a great deal with their lively cheer leading. my 'ttf' ,1- lmgrl l ll, nl, if ll T E i i . 'I ' T1 4 YA in rs 93 l3 gui ing M4 Eg E Mr. Cannon Mr. A.

Their duty was to serve as co- ordinators between the home and school in attendance problems. I4 The COUNSELOR'S OFFICE was a center of constant activity. Mr. Can- non, head counselor, stated that the counselors tried to help plan the edu' cational program of students for high school and college and to find a course to fit each student according to abil- ity and desire. Career conferences were spon- sored for the first time. These gave the students a chance to discuss all factors concerning the vocation they wished to enter with persons directly in that profession. Those shown above are Mr. Cannon, Mr. A. Johnson, Mr. Rodgers, Mr. Rob- inson, Mr. Williamson, Miss Deal, director of testing, Mrs. Moehnke, Miss Neiman, Miss Nelson, and Miss Waters. :E Miss Howen Miss O'Farrell Miss Braddon Miss Valena Want a special reference for an important assignment or just an inter- esting book to read?

Miss Valena has done a wonderful job, con' sidering all the handicaps of a crowded cafeteria and the limited time factor. Need an aspirin or a band-aid? Nurses Lillian Howen and Ann Farrell are very competent in dealing with minor and major injuries. Did you ever wonder where your schedule was changed after the recom- mendation of your counselor?

The season started out with a bang, when the Drillers gave Riverside a beating. However, the Drillers bowed to Fresno High one rainy night in Fresno. This loss was followed by a twenty-tive to nothing pasting given to us by San Diego. Playing and losing to them was a great experience rather than a disgrace since their team was regarded by many as the stcite's best high school machines The mighty Drillers came back great guns trorn the Diego encounter and con- tinued right on through the end of the season. They gave E.

All this is, believe it or not, conditioning, and it had alot to do with our winning the Valley Championship. One might chance to hear some night during a dummy scrimmage such quips as these: 'Come on, tat man, bend over. Hey Gut lGuatneyD, just where do you think you're going?

They never let up from the moment the first whistle blew till the last buzzer signal Nice going, boys! The Sandabs had a terrific season this year, playing twenty times in all. From the first game with Porterville to the last with Tehachapi, the team played with vigor. Ray Scott was coach ofthe B squad.

They beat East Bakersfield by one point. lt was the first time that the Dirks had lost for 26 games.

Members ot the cast worked with Mrs. Ellen Landes Osborn, director, to produce a suspense-packed drama. Earth of Eldon, the student body play, was written by Frank Wattron, instructor at Bakersfield College. The fantasy centered about Eldon Berry, inhabiatnt of Green Valley, and post generations of his family. Disappear- ing tractor parts and mysteriously appearing hooks and eyes were some ot the antics performed by the Berrys to aid Eldon. X ?
