Pounding, hammering, loading, hauling--paint, cement, trucks, equipment'- new trees, new walks, new quad, new buildings-eall herald our campus of the future. The dreams of Bakersfield High Schools administrators, faculty and students are finally being realized. Though the 1952 earthquakes delayed the opening of school and wrecked many of our main buildings, these are gradually being put back into use. The up-to-date ideas and simple, functional lines of the new buildings point the way for our 4,000 students. Their bold, proud facades sym- bolize the optimism of students who face the future confidently, with plans for their part in the world of tomorrow. The new Administration Building may be looked upon as the symbol of stu- dents learning to become leaders, those who will make decisions and who will govern. The Cafeteria lights the way for those who plan to enter the social world ot parties and conversation. Ludden Hall houses students who will be the backbone of America its homemakers. Our gyms stand as the symbols of fair play and sportsmanship. Hard physical workouts here are a means to developing a controlled, even temperament, needed in all occupations. Each of these buildings represents a step toward the modernization that will turn the present Bakersfield High School into the school of tomorrow.

Nearly four thousand students at- tended classes here this year, some com- ing from as far as forty-five miles away, and almost half of them coming by school bus. The eighty-one campus clubs and or- ganizations represented everything from science to sewing. On Bl-lS's list of laurels are twenty-two Valley Football Champion- ships, and prizes in many fields: debate, literature, homernaking and architecture. As the largest high school in California, BHS leads in student government and stu- dent activities. The devastation caused by the I952 earthquakes was replaced by new buildings. The new Cafeteria, Ludden Hall, and the Gymnasium helped to make the BHS campus more beautiful. 6,20 tliglu ted 111' 1111111 1111r: 11 111 1 ' 1 J11 11 '11r1'z ' ,1 ' HIT x 1 11' 11-I 11l'1 V1 1111 '- w .111:.1I 111:':1'11:1111 1 I It 111111 111 II 1 ' 1' '11 '1'11111'111 111 1 1 11 1 111 1 11111' '1' '111'1T1 1 Y 1 1 1' 11 111112, '1'111'1 ' -1 1 7 1 1 '1 1 , 1 1 11, .- , 14, ,1 - 1 . Smiling happily, Marian Porterfield shows Mary Ann Zannon that geometry can be fun. Miss Mar- garet Meyer approves of this theory. ,ef C'laAAe that we e Bakersfield High offered its students many educational opportunities which few other schools could. It gave oppor- tunities which helped the student to be successful in his future career. Teachers again worked hard to improve courses of instruction and student activities in order to help the student become a good citizen of his community and nation. Through art and music classes, the individual could increase his apprecia- tion and enjoyment of the fine arts. A knowledge of past history resulted in molding good citizens and giving them a better understanding of present-day life. Home training in cooking and sew- ing was furthered by home economics classes. Boys were offered classes through which they learned to use a wide variety of hand tools. Studying the principles of electricity were-Isaac McClan- ahan, Willie Simpson, Jerry Lncket, Eddie Lanier. and Don Ha . familia Acene lfnfxlish courses developed correct :speech hahits, writina ahility and read' ina skills. Students hecame acquainted with other countries throuqh the study of foreign lanquaaes. Courses in aaricul- ture taucrlit lvoys the skills needed to raise crops or livestock. Mathematical aliilities needed in everyday life were taught in the numerous math courses. Front classes in the field ot science, stu- dents learned to understand the life aliout lhern.

Their duties of setting educational and financial policies for the entire District proved invaluable to each school under their control, as did their deci- sions concerning the development of the building program. One of the Board's greatest accomplishments this year was beginning the construc- tion ofthe District's newest high school-the 333,000,000 school just south of Bakersfield, scheduled to open in l957.

Shaping KH 5 If we are to continue to enjoy the privilege of living in a democracy, there are certain inherent obligations which we must fulfill. Seeing that we are adequately informed, expressing our right to vote, and participating actively in community affairs are part of these obligations. We sincerely hope that each of the students avails himself of the opportunities in our school for practical training in citizenship, as well as in the wide range of academic, cultural and voca- tional tratning which the citizens of our commu- nity have made available to all. -L. W. Hedge, Principal. Having completed his term as president of the Cali- fornia Association of Secondary School Administrators, PRINCIPAL L. W. Hedge found this year that numerous statewide committee assignments rounded out his busy life at Bakersfield High School. He still found time to work with students, however, in the planning of those special events such as our championship games, driver safety programs, and Bakersfield Government Day, and to give his support in all phases of school activities. Mr. Hedge always stood ready to counsel and advise with special problems. Busy working out the schedule of classes for the spring semester were Mr. Hedge and his secretary, Miss Barbara Tucker.

MARTIN Dean of Boys ELOISE NELSON Dean of Girls BON NYE DEAL Diredor of Testing The chief function of the COUNSELING STAFF has always been one of service to students and faculty alike. Each counselor this year had some 285 students in his file, Whom he assisted in numerous school-related problems, and for Whom he helped to plan a course of study meeting the student's needs. F or some stu- dents this meant planning in order to enter a specific college, for others schedul- ing a general college preparatory course or preparing for a two-year college program. For all, counselors assisted in planning a course which fulfilled requirements for a specific high school major. They also taught two classes, as Well as assisting in club activities, student government, and rallies and assemblies.

It was concerned with all the aspects ot learning. Mr. E. C. Mills, COORDINATOR OE COUNSELING, directed this program and therefore his duties were greatly diversified. Working with boys and girls Whose problems took more time than the regular counselors Could devote to them as individuals was the job of Mr. Herbert Martin and Miss Eloise Nelson, DEAN OE BOYS and DEAN OE GIRLS, respectively. Among the large number of respon- sibilities handled by Miss Bonnye Deal, DIRECTOR OF TESTING, were supervising college entrance exams and vocational preference tests and taking charge of scholarships. Contacting parents, when students could not be located after absences that exceeded tour days, Was just one of many similar jobs undertaken by Mr. Wallace Webster and Mr. Dell Whetsler, ATTENDANCE COUN- SELORS.

Even though the LIBRARIANS were busy With books and other reading materials, they were always ready to assist students. Vaccinations, headaches, senior physicals, broken bones, numerous skinned knees-all these kept our school NURSES constantly busy. The REGISTRARS were some of our busiest office Workers. It was their duty lo keep an accurate permanent record on every student. The BUSINESS OFFICE handled literally thousands of dollars each day as they cared for finances of the cafeteria and all clubs and extracurricular activities. Bakersfield High School boasted a capable and willing OFFICE STAFF. The duties of these people were attendance accountingp handling student finances: issuing Work permitsp offering a mirneographing service for faculty and student groups, operating the switchboard for the high school, college and district officesg keeping students' permanent records up to date, and recording transcripts. In all phases of their Work, the office staff was happy to be of service to students and faculty, twelve months out of every year.

The members of the ART DEPARTMENT gave instruction in different types of art. They taught primitive as well as modern styles of drawing and design. Doing their best to develop the talents of artistic students, the art teachers offered classes in preliminary and advanced painting: poster painting, which included styles of lettering and designy ceramics, leatherworkingg art metal, and art history. This year the ENGLISH DEPARTMENT consisted of more than eighty class- room sections, ranging from dramatics, public speaking, and radio production to literature, journalism and remedial reading. The department also continued its program to develop students' skills in reading and oral and written expression. Since three years of English are required of each student for graduation, this was the largest department on campus. ROW I, left to right: Pauline Cheno wefh, M.A.g Fern Doe, A.B.g Joy Ruf, A.B.

The MUSIC DEPARTMENT was a great morale builder at BHS this year, not only for the music student but for the entire student body, as it sponsored various musical performances. In the vocal, instrumental and theoretical music courses offered by the department, each student received an excellent background study of music for his future musical Work, Whether in college or musical conservatory. This year the SOCIAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT tried especially to stimulate student interest in world events which have contributed to the gradual develop- ment of the United States. Teachers, particularly those teaching Government, discussed the past California state elections with students. In keeping with the department's chief objective to mold better citizens for the future, many classes tried to answer the student's questions concerning his posthigh school respon- sibilities. Courses offered ranged from World history and Pacific relations to sociology. ROW I, left to right: Philip L.

This year the AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT offered courses ranging from farm mecha ' d t ' nics an arm management to held crops, poultry, botany and land- scape gardening. Besides their required home projects, many boys with field crops and livestock projects used to great advantage the school's well equipped, one hundred and eighty acre farm. The department, which is the oldest and the largest of its kind in the state, compared favorably with many of the agricultural departments maintained by large colleges.

Modern houses and complex machines have flowed from the pencils of the advanced students. Beginning students have learned not only the basic techniques of mechanical drawing, but also the ideals of neatness and accuracy. Realizing the need for more young men and women in the scientific fields, the members of the SCIENCE DEPARTMENT used their skills and knowledge to teach students the fundamentals needed by future scientists. Not only did they bring out the applications of science as related to daily living, but through their classes in biology, chemistry and physics, they helped many students find interesting and useful careers.

Students also gained a useful knowledge of the histories and customs of foreign peoples. This year there was a choice of four languages in several different levels. These included three years of Spanish, three years of French, two years of German, and two years of Latin. A Variety of courses was offered by the MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT. For business majors there was Business Arithmetic llB-llA. Students not prepared for algebra could take general mathematics. Algebra and plane geometry were offered for college preparatory majors. Those having a major in mathematics, engineering, or science were offered a complete course consisting of two and one half years of algebra, one year of plane and solid geometry, and a semester of trigonometry. This course gave complete preparation for any higher mathe- matics they might encounter. extend ROW I, left to right: Emma R. Sandrini, A.B.1 Lucite Burk, A.B., Dept.

The main objective oi the BOYS' P.E. DEPARTMENT was to develop sports- manship, proper attitudes, personal cleanliness, and a fundamental knowledge of basic skills in a variety oi P.E. activities. Proper health habits and mental hygiene were stressed in health classes. Two new A.A.U.-approved activities, wrestling and tumbling, were offered to freshmen, and two special rooms in the new gym were used for these activities. Co-educational golf and tennis were open exclusively to seniors. The GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT for 1955-56 comprised nine teachers who worked together to offer a worth-while program of individual or team sports. Under the California school code, physical education is a require- ment tor graduation: so a wide variety of activities were offered to appeal to all girls' interests and abilities. Along with the opening of the new gym, a grading system was inaugurated with report cards coming out every six weeks instead of every nine. cti 'tie J' N Q? i ROW I, left fo right: Lorraine Garcia, B.A.: Mary Westacotl, B.A.g Tana Marion, A.B.7 Patricia Peterson, A.B.

The HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT was able to offer a more comprehensive, expanded program this year to the homemaking stu- dents because ot the opening of a larger, modernized Ludden Hall. Two new features of the program were a play school and a course in outdoor cooking and entertaining. ln the play school, which contained playground equipment, twenty-tive girls observed six or eight small children in order to gain experience for baby-sitting and a greater understanding of their brothers and sisters. In addition, the usual courses in foods and clothing were offered. ,,,j,w,- al 44' V ejy,Qt6il.,ll'l ' E ROW l, left to right: Helen M. Bulla, A.B., M.A.g Gwen Teague, A.B.g Velma M.

BHS had waited a long time for the beautiful new CAl:'ETERIAp so this year about 3,000 students daily took advantage of its opening, enjoying snacks and meals from the modern facilities. As there was no longer a cafeteria annex, the task of carrying hot trays across the campus was eliminated. For more con- venience, the student store and snack bar were built adjoining the cafeteria. The staff included twenty-four full-time personnel and five part-time workers, as well as sixty student helpers. Custodians kept the cafeteria always in top condi- tion for the use of the school, as an increasing number of social functions, such as banquets and dances, were also held there.

School buses were used tor transportation not only to and trorn school, but also to oft-campus PE classes and special events. Thirty-seven buses were maintained and used at BHS making ours the second largest school hus system in the country. The CUSTQDIANS, who have kept our buildings Clean during the past years, have had extra work this year with the many new additions to the campus. As always, they swept and polished iloorsp maintained rest rooms and the heating and refrigeration systemsg cleaned doors, walls, and ceilings, and took care ot all the odd iohs and emergencies which arose during the year.

Here they made plans tor all their activities, including their dance, the Turkey Trot, which was held on November 18.

Before that great day were the senior activities, strange and forbidden to the underclassmen. These were pre- ceded by the inevitable tests. Some of the activities most important to sen- iors Were the Senior Banquet, the lunior- Senior Prom when the seniors were the honored guests of junior friends, the Bac- calaureate Service, Senior Picnic and Class Day. Then on the night of Iune 8 the seniors, in their blue caps and gowns, took their places in line for the processional and they realized that it was here at last-graduationl ROW I, left to right: Ann Huntington, Treasurerg Beverly Kla- kotf, Secretary.

This year the Oracle staff met as a class of about a dozen students. Some of the staff worked the year around writing copy, scheduling hundreds of pictures, and at times burning the midnight oil, so the numerous deadlines could be met. ln April, when the Oracle was finally finished and at the printer, the staff began Work on the 1957 book. ln addi- tion to Working, however, the staff mem- bers this year enioyed a picnic and sev- eral parties. the yearly puzzle together.

One of the highlights of the spring semester, the Prom, was the scene of much dancing and conversation. The lunior-Senior Prom, the formal dance given annually by the junior class for the seniors, was one of the most exciting events of the year. Savonara, which is a farewell greet- ing in lapanese, was the theme of this year's lunior-Senior Prom. To the music of the Nobles, it was held Iune 2 in the Quad, which had been transformed for the evening into a lapanese tea garden. Gaily colored lanterns were used to light the formal event: and, to create the proper atmosphere, the roofs of the buildings surrounding the Quad were decorated like pagodas. The center of interest was a smiling Buddha before which incense burned. Wearing kimo- nos, sophomores served the refresh- ments. 1 1 We .

This year, to enable Miss BHS better to represent the school, the final outcome was determined by the students instead of by men and women from outside the school. The girls were first judged by downtown business- men, at an informal tea, on their poise, personal- ity and appearance. Later, Miss BHS was chosen from among the three finalists in a student-wide popular election, and the winner, Linda Lum, reigned over the Club Nite Dance. 5 '.b. Eglig .',.,,: 5. 2.

All the clubs on campus took part in the Club Nite Dance, and those which were sponsoring the three runoff candidates for Miss BHS were especially inter- ested. Because the dance was a combination of the Club Nite and the Student Body Card Dances, the enjoyment of the evening was doubled. All student activity card holders were admitted free. The memorable event was held in the cafeteria, with school activities as its theme. The dance was sponsored by the Executive Board, the Coordinating Council and the Blue and Whitey and Dave Forgie and Karl Matsushita were the co-chairmen. Students danced at the Club Nite Dance, the Royal Romp, which celebrated the crowning of Linda Lum as Miss BHS. s, . M1 The Big 'B' Dance was one of lhe most lun-filled evenings of the sports season, Chosen by the xlar athletes in BHS, Janis Laliin was the Biq 'B' Queen. llh Saturday night, February 3, after the Taft-BHS basketball game, the annual Big B Dance was held. The music for the slack dance was provided by the records played by lackson, popular Taft disc jockey. The traditional highlight ot the evening was the crowning of this year's Big B Queen, lanis Laitin. One of the most outstanding annual student body events was the TYPICAL CO-ED DANCE -the girls' date, semiiormal Valentine dance, at which was an! nounced the name at the typical co-ed oi BHS for the year. Linda Carlisle was the girl chosen as representing most typically the average girl at BHS in manner, personality, dress and grades. At the dance, Tom lanes presented her with a bracelet inscribed Typical Co-ed ot l956.

A lot of credit for the school spirit displayed at this year's sports activities goes to the SONG .AND YELL LEADERS, who worked not only to bring out spirit at the games, but also to see that there was sufficient trans- portation for all those who wished to attend them. Much time was spent on the basic duties of their offices, but much extra time was also spent in special classes to learn the rules and regulations and many of the tech- niques of the games, so as to correlate the songs and yells with the action on the field. Quite a few new songs and yells were contributed to BHS by the members cf this highly spirited group.

Camp change Recreation was at an all-time high this year. Noon hours were filled with either planned entertainment or informal getting to- gether in the Quad or in Elm Grove. Bl-lS'ers gave the Quad a big welcome, after not having one for so long. Elm Grove was filled to overflowing with groups gathered to munch on snacks and to hear the latest news about classes, parties and ball games. There were also noon rallies held to stir up school spirit. These were led by Tom Iones, student body president, and by the song and yell leaders, and featured a pep band to play school songs. Elm Grove was the meeting place for students to discuss daily affairs.

That was the cry which ended one of the most brilliant football seasons in recent history. For the second consecutive year the DRILLERS had brought home the title to a spirited student body. Their most spectacular achievement was the defeat of the Crosstown rivals twice in one season. A playoff was held in the South Yosemite League, as a result of a tie for first place between the Drillers and East Bakersfield. This year the varsity played one of the longest schedules ever, climaxed by an outstanding game against the Ma- dera Coyotes for the Valley Championship.

Although zone defense was used in the majority of the games, a man-to-man style was used to bring pressure upon the opposite team in a tight game. This style enabled the Drillers to capitalize on the minor mistakes made by the opposition. The new Boys' Gym, which had glass backboards on the court, was the site of all the Driller home games.
