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.
