The story of how a great nation started through the labor of a few pilgrims, grew and prospered under their hands, and received the rich rewards of labor . . . California, in the celebration of its hundredth birthday, can say proudly that it has followed the same pattern of growth. lVagon trains brought the first pioneers, the greenliorns,l' who survived the gold fever to work the land for grain, oil, and lumber. XVagon-train travelers first stopped at l3aker's field for water and rest. 'llempted by rich soil, some stayed to farm. The building of railroads and the discovery of oil complete the settlers, story. Modern Bakersfield's wealth still rests largely upon agriculture and oil. We see in our own school life the green years, the growing years, in which we, like the pioneers, plant the first seeds of the future. . . . ln all we find the wisdom that sees beyond the years . . . the open fields transformed into alabaster cities gleam- ing . . . and brotherhood from sea to sea.

A Q Take 4182 students, 233 teachers, 1,3 departments, 157 subjects, majors and mix well. There you have the Bakersfield High School class schedule. College preps and homemakers alike can find majors to suit them. There is no one subject about which one can say, This is most popu- lar, H because every class is well-filled to crowded. After having completed lower division requirements, one can specialize in advanced classes offered by each department such as the bride,s course, radio production, refrigeration, meteorology and navi- gation, comptometry, airplane mechanics, art history, trigonometry, music appreciation, California history, dramatics, debate, wood shop, harmony, foods, merchandising, journalism and agricultural mechanics. These specialized classes are designed to suit many varied talents and interests. Machines in business can be complicated! The girl below is operating a calculating machine. What, no smiles?

Modern is the work for Bakersfield High School instructors now, however, for they teach advanced courses in almost every field. Some are so modern they let students take turns at handling the class! They are still pioneering the everbroadening frontier of modern education. This spirit of progress and growth is found in our a can I3 i l Theron I.. McCuen.

YALKYRIES again proved their decorative skill: winding goalposts with streamers during football season, posting Santa Clauses in halls at iV'lll'lStlIlZ1S and brightening goals with streamers during basketball season. The campus was not their only field of service, as they proved at Thanks- giving and Cliristmas by giving food and clothing to needy families. ln the Valkyries eyes, however, the year's most important event was the girls' date formal, held May 26.

When you waved those pom- pons around, did you think of the VALKYHILES wh o wade d through tacks and tissue paper to make them? Football season found them decorating the goal- posts, and making decorations for the annual football banquet. The members were occ-upied with social events as well as serv- ice projects. An important month was Marcli, when these lovely lassies modeled the latest styles in their annual fashion show. Fol- laborating with the Hostess Ulub. they presented an assembly in Harvey Auditorium. lt was not all Work and no play. To gain members who would sub- seribe to the Valkyries' purposes and standards, a party was held for all interested Sophomore girls. New members were seleet- ed and voted upon for personal- ity, dependability, leadership and ellaraeter. Valkyries below are putting the finishing touches on a poster. The artists are: Shirley Gil, Sharon O'Meara, Ann Sutton, Ioan Williamson. Ianet Wickersham. Good will and brotherhood, could very well be the motto oi the girls above.

Collecting, sorting, and distribut- ing clothing was only one of many projects of the GIRLS' INTER- RACIAL COUNCIL. Another big project was planning for the first state-wide I. R. C. convention. Their main purpose, of course, is to pro- mote greater racial tolerance in the school. The organization is formed of a nucleus of sixty girls from five different races eager to see their ideals of racial tolerance put into practice. A little-known service of the I. R. C. is its Counseling Committee, Whose members are privileged to work with the school authorities re- garding a solution to any racial problem in the school. The club was quite proud of the success of the Jr. I. R. C. at Emer- son, sponsored bv this group. Sev- eral pot-luck suppers and parties proved fun for all.

Completing their second year of service to the school, they were easily recognized in their familiar costumes, pink blouses and black ballerina skirts. iWith Mina Munson as adviser, they eo-sponsored dance with the Junior Class of East Bakersfield in the fall. The S. U. S., or Society of Servic-e, is really all that the name implies. They demon- strated their Yuletide spirit by giving' a basket to a needy family. An interesting' tradi- tion ol' the club is giving ear- nations to all the teachers on St. l'atriek's Day.

Girls and boys of the Y's have worn a path to the Y.M.C.A. Building as they troup to meetings. They create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian living. The Y's contribute financially to the Vlforld Service fund, which is used in rehabilitation of Y's in foreign countries. Kern County boys have enjoyed Hi-Y activities since 1931. The get- togethers and athletic events are something to Write home aboutw. ln the Basketball League this year Sigma Psi took the AH title and La Pheta's Phantoms took the ' CB title. The Tri-Hi-Y girls are noted for their potlucfks, cake sales and slumber parties. Money-making schemes help them sponsor junior groups and aid charities.

The final game of the season brought the two teams together and all the experiences gained in the season just past---all the tricks, the funda- mentals, the polish and the power---were brought into play in a spectacular game that, justly, ended in a tie. The VVhites, composed mainly of freshmen and sophomores, showed early power and possessed a 12 to 0 lead going into the third quarter. Led by the quarterbacking of Sayles and the running of Jackson and Vance, they looked like winners .Then the Blues came to life. Sparked by the brilliant passing of Stevens, the junior and senior team fought back savagely until, when the final gun sounded, the scoreboard read 12 to 12.

Frequent pile-ups were evident in the Drillers' fasi The Drillers started the season with a blaze of glory as they tied EB. in the county tournament. At the beginning of the season, the Drillers used a dazzling fast break which brought out the potentialities of those sensations, Vernon Brothers, Daniel Kimin and Floyd Moore, an all- county center. l'nder Don Fauble, guard. as captain, the team played with a lot oi' tight and showed the kind of playing spirit that is typical of the Drillers.

Their only defeat in the Kern League came at the expense of these keen rivals from E.B. The Bits were defeated in an overtime affair, 15-13, in one of the most exeiting games played on the E.B. hardwood this year. The Bits made no decisive victories. They were, however, led through a memorable season by the cool playing of such fresh- men as VVillie Howell, Jack Qualman, and Maurice Miller, given able assistance by Grant Lott, sophomore, and Leroy Syfrett, Bill Riel, and Don Dynamo May, juniors.

VVith last year's triumph in the County and Valley Finals still fresh in their minds, Driller trackmen once again donned their spikes and com- menced early season practice with a determination befitting nothing less than champions. Flying over Taft in the first meet and showing well in the Long Beach Relays, the Drillers displayed a team that once again was a power in the county and the valley. With a group of potential point- getters around like Wise, Edwards, Alexander, Moland, Self, Phillips, Young, Johnson, Fanning, and Frasch, the Driller track season proved to be a good one. QHIHST County and VHHEY Like their big brothers, the Sandabs and the Bits were also county champ- ions, their determination, displayed during spring training, indicated their resolution to retain their crowns. The Sandabs were the Nemesis of the Valley, and small wonder! Blend- ing together the abilities of Mineyard, Lightner, Clive, Alexander, Maytubby, Napier, Johns, lVilliams, Kyle, and the three great freshmen prospects of Loustalot, Cuen, and Porcho, Coach Don Doolin came up with an unbeat- able combination. Starting the season without much experience and with few returning lettermen, the Bits lacked nothing in fight and spirit. Fighting all the way to make the season a success were Ferron, Moore, Kretzer, James Alex- ander, and Frasch. TOP Don Edwards, Driller hgh h dl I k f t plc I t Cl Truck Meet.
