Q' Doctor, lawyer, merchant, chiet-one still has to take a science in high school. The SCIENCE DEPARTMENT taught chemistry, physics, ag. botany and biology. Memorizing tormulas in chemistry and learning about the structure ot animals in biology were students' chiet prob- lems. , Parlez-vous trancais? This tamiliar French expression was not the only thing taught by THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT. Latin was taught to those aspiring to be musicians and doctors. Complicated German tenses were hurled back and torth in classes studying that language. Spanish, the musical language, was the most popular one taught. Sheet metal, mechanical drawing, architectural drawing, machine shop, and auto mechanics were taught by the instructors in the large MECANICAL ARTS DEPARTMENT. Boys made up the greater part ot those classes, but several girls were interested in mechanical knowledge. One group ot students held regular class session at the airport in order to study airplane me- chanics. Teachers tried to give the students practical experience in working with automobiles and other machines. Drawing classes included learning the skill ot measuring complicated tig- ures. lst Row, L to R: Milton Perkins, E. P. Von Leuven, N. D.

The Bakerstield AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT boasted a very active program. Under Mr. H. K. Dickson, agriculture teachers taught classes at the school tarm. Students with proiects received help on problems that arose. Those who were interested studied scientific methods ot tarming. Besides regular classes, agriculture instructors sponsored Future Farmer groups. Prize hogs, cows and chickens were exhibited at the annual tair. Basketball, baseball, 'Football and swimming were among the sports taught by BOYS' PHYSI- CAL EDUCATION teachers. Getting the little teller on the end to participate in activi- ties was iust as important as teaching the muscle boys to shoot baskets. On cold days a simple warm-up was running around the track and up and down the stadium. Boys' hygiene classes were noisy, and teachers tried, not always with success, to be as patient as Job. 1' ' I 1 f ,f f Af it ,L yi N1x,4,MlfWf'lji R lx To Lett: lst Row, L to R: Laura Heyd, Dwight Griffith, De- partment Head: Edith McLean, Wallace Johnson, Mary Eliza- beth Waggoner. 2nd Row, L to R: Fred Gibbs, George Osborn, Margaret Myer and AI Parker.

The ENGLISH DEPARTMENT, under the direction of Mr. Mark Wilcox, had the difficult task of teaching the students how to read, write and speak our own language. Basketball, softball, four kinds of dancing, and many other sports were taught by GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION instructors. Blue shouts and white blouses dotted the girls' gym field and tennis courts during school hours. Mr. Gurr and several other teachers were in charge of MECHANICAL DRAWING classes. Sounds of clacking rulers and busy pencils issued from their rooms as the students drew different plans. A brides' course was one of the special features of the HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT last year. Girls in Ludden Hall were taught meal-planning, cooking and sewing to make them the future homemakers of America. The MUSIC DEPARTMENT in new Harvey Auduitorium cisisted of several girls' glees, the colored choir, the band, the boys' glee and the orchestra.

Planning tor their dance, Fifth Quarter, and working on their carnival booth were only two ot their proiects. They did their part in the clean-up drive by purchasing two more new trash cans. More accustomed to high school lite than the year before, they discussed in their weekly meetings included all the problems ot sophomore students. A banner ot blue and white telt was twice awarded to the class as winner in the cheering con- test held during rallies betore the tootball games.

These students, together with the elected otticers, quickly got or- ganized and were soon one ot the most energetic groups on the campus. They met once a week to plan varied class activities, including candied apple sales, a trosh assembly, a dance com- plete with tloor show and a booth at the carnival. Besides all this, they tound enough time to sell ticlcetsto the interclass track meet.

Wifhouf a doubf, one of fhe mosf imporfanf and influenfial groups on fhe campus was fhe EXECUTIVE COUNCIL. This was 'lhe group which conducfed mosf of fhe acfual business of keeping fhe school on an even keel. Presided over by fhe sfudenf body presidenf, fhis group fried fo gel' greafer sfudenf parficipafion in more of fhe affairs of 'lhe school. For l'his reason, each class senl' fwo represenfafives fo 'fhe meefings. The sfudenf body officers were aufomafically members of fhe council. The Execufive Council promofed more 'lrash cans for fhe campus clean-up. Al' fhe carnival, 'lhe council sponsored fhe unusual sponge fhrowing boofh. Besides 'lheir ofher acfivifies, 'lhey assfsfed 'lhe Execufive Commiffee in all ways pos- sible. 4 nival boofhs. ll' was decided fo confinue fhe previous plan of giving half fhe profifs 'lo fhe Q-Sifucleni Jielega tea The sfudenl' body officers, fogefher wifh +he presidenfs of each club in school, made up fhe CO-ORDINATING COUNCIL. This group was fhe one which discussed mosf of 'lhe imporf- anf issues on 'rhe campus. The council did noi' elecf fheir own officers, since the sfudenl' body officers served in fhal' capacify: Esfelle Williams, sfudenl' body secrefary, proved her capa- bilify for fhe office by fhe complefe and accurafe records which she lcepf. The Council fried fo seH'le fhe mosf serious problems which affecfed fhem as a group or as individual clubs. Many new problems arose wifh fhe new school year, many of fhem broughf on by 'l'he new audiforium. The problem of how fo divide fhe campus for assemblies was one which, alfhough discussed by fhe mosf imporfanf groups on fhe campus, was finally solved only by fhe excellenf co-operafion of everyone involved. The Co-ordinafing Council was perhaps one of 'lhe primary causes of fhe success of fhe clean-up campaign. If was fhrough 'lhis group fhal' fhe clubs were nofified of fhe plan and re- quesfed fo buy new frash cans. There again, alfhough 'l'he solufion was found in fhe discus- sions of fhe various governing bodies of fhe school, fhe success was due 'lo fhe help from fhe sfudenfs. Anofher imporfanf decision made by 'lhis council concerned fhe proceeds from car- Boys' Federafion and Girls' League.

At the beginning at each period, MESSENGERS picked up call slips trom the attend- ance ottice, the counselors' ottice and the pvincipal's ottice. The slips were sorted and delivered. Each regular messenger covered her own beat each period. ln case one ot the regular girls was absent, there were three or tour reserve messengers each period. The girls, all seventy-tive ot them, met once a month to plan their many activities. Members were recommended and selected by the taculty, but service to the entire student body was indispensable every day ot the year. Remember how the heads turned each period when a poised, gracetul girl enter- ed the classroom to pick up those evil little white slips hoarded so caretully by the at- tendance ottice? Each member ot MESSEN- GERS, under the direction ot the Girls' League, had her beat , and not one ot the buildings on the campus was neglected tor even one period. Still, with all this routine. they never complained. Perhaps a variety ot exciting hay rides, potluck dinners, Christmas caroling and snow parties in the mountains ac- counted tor their contentment. Miss Esther Eldred supervised these energetic girls in their work and their play. ,,a...LX- Sig V sais Ginger Moak, Secretary: Betty Rondsbery, Pres.: Barbara Wolfe, Chairman: Lavere Johnston, Pub- Q,W.,.M licityp Lois Miller, Co-Chair., Miss Esther Eldred, Adv.

Do, re, me, ta, so, la, ti, do is what you heard it you happened to pass Auditorium 305 any sixth or eighth period when the ELEMENTARY GLEE CLUBS were in session. The purpose ot the clubs was to teach the girls the tundamentals ot singing: The girls learned tone quality, breath control and other basic items that make a good singer. Most ot the girls were taking this course because they liked sing- ing and because they wanted to acquaint themselves better with music. Their unitorms consisted ot dark skirts and white blouses. The student body here at Bakersfield High have had a number ot opportunities to hear these girls. They have joined with other singing groups to pertorm tor ditterent occasions. At the Dedication As- sembly ot Harvey Auditorium they ioined with the Advanced Girls' Glee Club and the Boys' Glee Club to sing several numbers. At Christmas time the girls went caroling in the halls here at school and at other places around town. This spring they again combined with other singing groups here at B. H. S. to give their annual concert. The occasion was made more colortul by all the girls' wearing pastel tormals. Anolher choral organizalion, lhe EN- SEMBLE, had a well-filled calendar. The Easlern S'l'ar, Quo Vadis, Lowell P. T. A., and 'rhe Woman's Club were enlerlained by 'rhem a+ various meelings. The Ensemble also provided 'rhe inspiralional music for +he Picl'ures of l'he Living Madonna, presenl- ed by Koda Tri-Y al' lhe S+.

Some ot the busiest boys on the campus were the FUTURE FARMERS OF Atv1ERlCA. These were the boys who were among the most traveled members ot our student body. During the year they exhibited their prize animals at the Calitornia State Fair at Sacramento, the Kern County Fair, the Great Western Livestock at San Francisco. Everywhere they went, they earned added glory both tor themselves and tor Bakersfield High School. ln addition, each summer some ot the boys go on a camping trip. This trip is an award to the members who have contributed most to their chapter. Between their travels the boys sponsored their annual Father-Son Banquet in February and Mother- Son Banquet in May. And they still 'found enough time to have various dinners, such as exhibitors' banquets at every 'Fair and livestock show and their traditional beanteeds.
