QdUdwsuL ihsL Three plaques depicting the newly adopted school seal were presented to BHS by Bakersfield College at the Senior Farewell Assembly on June 6, 1956. The clasped hands pictured on this seal symbolize the feeling of unity which pervades every type of BHS activity. Few American high school students are privileged to be part of such a rich tradition as exists at BHS. This tradition has been possible because of the successful associations of many racial groups. BHS’s vast club program is a direct result of having such groups with their different interests and cultural backgrounds. BHS has been able to operate its diverse academic and social program only through the close-knit cooperation of administration and students. Such organizations as the newly organized Boosters Club, composed of adults in the community wishing to support all BHS activities, are attempting to strengthen the BHS program even more by encouraging more active parent-faculty relationships. This feeling of harmony and cooperation, a constant influence in the hiqh school life of each student, has helped to mold many graduates into great citizens of the community and of the notion. This year one such man. Earl Warren. Chief Justice of the United States, was honored by having the former Junior College Building named after him. In the worthwhile lives of such Bakersfield Hioh School graduates is best represented the complex of traits known as the DRILLER WAY.

Noontim r«votv«d around th Quad. 8 hswsjaL cl bsuctuiiftuL ccunpiiA Accommodating the English, Foreign Language, and Mathomatici Departments, Warren Hall represented the heart of BHS's academic program. The BHS CAMPUS, one the larqest in California, was the scene of much rushinq to classes and studying. To reach a happy medium in relation to regular school work done on campus, numerous dances, games, concerts and banquets took place in the Gym, Quad, Auditorium and Cafeteria, while meetings were held almost anywhere. Facilities were available for adult qroups as well os for students. To continue the process of remodeling earthquake-destroyed buildings on campus, finishing touches were put on Warren Hall, formerly the J.C. Building. Because of construction work beinq done during the past few years, the area around Ludden Hall was long just dirt. This year, grass was again planted, which qave the campus a greener aspect. On the corner by Ludden Hall, Valkyries also planted a hedge forming the letters BHS. To further the face-lifting of the campus, on extensive campus clean-up program was undertaken, including the placing of more trash cans in key spots. C syipLL Registration Day. climA.«d by « freihman orientation assembly. begen IK. busy Summer vacation was interrupted a day early as usual this year, when BHS'ers re-turned to school the Friday before the opening day of school. Upon reporting to rooms assigned alphabetically, students made their final registration and received their schedules for the ensuing term. Freshmen were urged to attend an orientation assembly in Harvey Auditorium at which they were introduced to their principal and counselors. Slides of the buildings and their locations as well as instructions on the room numberinq systems were shown to help them find their way around the campus. Members of the counseling staff gave talks on high school behavior, campus problems which would now include the Frosh. and the academic and social opportunities open to them during their four years at BHS.

Because the cafeteria was equipped with a public address system occasional noon rallies were held there Those who attended the first kick-off break fast, also held in the cafeteria on the morn inq of the annual BHS-EB football qame will remember the excitement of eatinq with the football teams. The SENIOR FAREWELL ASSEMBLY marked the end of another school year as both administrators and faculty members congratulated the seniors. The winners of service awards, CSF gold seals, and other outstanding honors, were recoqnized. The student body president presented his qavel to the succeeding president, and the next year's officers were introduced to the student body. Underclassmen waited to leave until all seniors had proceeded out from the stadium in a traditional honoring of the graduates. CLdmimAiAcdwtv During a typical day at BHS, a student might confer with his counselor, receive instruction from a teacher, be served lunch in the cafeteria, and with the aid of a librarian, secure reference material for an assignment. + a V w.

For the seniors, to whom this book will serve as a memento of your high school career, we hope that the memories will be pleasant, the friendships lasting and the values immeasurable. It has been a privilege to assist in the process of your maturation into high-type young Americans. L. W. Hedge, Principal L. W. Hedge, principal of BHS, might b� called its chief coordinator, for his job was to see that all functions of the school ran smoothly and to keep everybody happy in his work. His day was spent answering questions on matters of policy concerning classroom instruction, counse.ing, student activities, and community relations, as well as service functions of the clerical staff, custodians, and cafeteria workers. With over 4300 students, 160 faculty, and 95 classified staff, Mr. Hedge had few problems of what to do with his spare time. All school functions, sooner or later, wore related to the desk of Barbara Tucker, a sort of Executive Secretary for the school. Everyone knew that he could call on her for assistance with his problems or projects, and knew that help would be qiven with a smile. Principal Leslie W.

The WOMEN COUNSELORS worked with the feminine half of the student body, giving guidance in areas of education, vocation, social and personal life. Whether a girl wished to continue into college or venture into the business world, each counselor worked with the individual, showing her how she could meet and solve her problems. As the MEN COUNSELORS guided students toward adult life, they kept a constant check on their pupils’ major and graduation requirements. Among their duties throughout the year were to encourage and assist students in developing better study habits, to encourage better behavior on campus and a cooperative attitude toward the school.

The importance of English in everyday life is attested by the fact that three years of English are required for a student's graduation. The ENGLISH DEPARTMENT, thus one of the most important on campus, helped to develop students’ skill in communication and to increase students' vocabulary. Even though continuing to stress reading skills and comprehension, English instructors presented advanced grammar, literature and composition. This year a new English course was added to the curriculum, a class for seniors who needed extra help in preparing for college English. A committee of members of the department also worked jointly with students in editing MSS, a magazine of student writing. ROW I. left to right: Beatrice Rot . M.A.; Jotephin Wiley.

The SOCIAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT developed in students on awareness of what it means to live in a democracy, and taught the necessity of keeping democracy alive. Realizing the importance of having participating, socially minded citizens, the department encouraged student activity in Teen-Age Government Day. November presidential and congressional elections enabled teachers to create more student interest in the study of America's political parties and their organization. Students were also shown how past historical events are responsible for current problems. Bonnye Deal, Sam Wallace, E, C.

Through these experiences, students had an opportunity to choose fields which they felt qualified to enter. Instructors placed much emphasis on good work habits, which included proper use of tools, ability to work with others, and efficient use of school time. The department was set up so that students could have the widest possible choice of vocational fields. Courses offered ranged from pre-flight aviation and electronics to lapidary and woodshop.

For a second year in rehabilitated Ludden Hall, the HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT made it possible for girls to take four years of homemaking. Child care, family relations, and beauty and management in the home were some of the topics taught girls interested in advanced homemaking. For girls interested in cooking and sewing, Beginning and Advanced Foods, and Beginning and Advanced Sewing, were offered. This year in addition to the regular staff, three new teachers were included in the department. Instructors of the AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT were on coll seven days a week throughout the year in case some agricultural student had serious problems with the livestock in his home project. Whether a student had problems or not. his project was inspected by the instructor at some time during the year. Instructors also willingly gave up many holidays and week ends so that they could supervise students while they showed their projects at various county, state, and. if qualified, national livestock shows and fairs. Classroom instruction also enabled students to compete in judging various agricultural products. ROW I. laft fo right: Carol St -phans. 8.S.; Tana Marion, B.A.; Mary Waitacott.

A student was able to take either Algebra 9 and Geometry 10, or Algebra 9 and 10, Geometry II, Trigonometry and College Algebra. BHS was also one of the few schools in the area with any course in math beyond the traditional course of trigonometry. This was Algebra 12A, an advanced course offered future math, science, and engineering majors. Math teachers also sponsored on engineering assembly, which was held for all freshman and sophomore math classes, and featured talks given by local professional engineers.

An introduction to the rudiments of chemistry and physics was but one of the tasks accomplished by the NATURAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT. Aside from these courses, which were meant to give students with scientific interest the necessary foundation for advanced studies, the Natural Science Department offered courses in botany and both college preparatory and vocational courses in biology. The aim of the department was not only to teach science but to stimulate an interest in, and an appreciation of science in all students. Due to the increasing number of jobs offered, more girls became interested this past year in mechanical drawinq, offered by the DRAWING DEPARTMENT. For those interested, four years of mechanical drawing was offered. One year was required for most math, science and shop majors, or to provide the groundwork for all pre-engineering students. During the year the department selected twelve top advanced students to enter the annual architectural competition sponsored by the Bakersfield Lodge of Eagles.

In these sessions, departmental policies, activities and grading procedures were determined. Many sessions were on a workshop basis, with selected coaches demonstrating various techniques of the new programs of gymnastics, wrestling, handball and other sports for the benefit of the rest. Instructors stressed student health by daily shower checks, cleanliness of uniform and periodical locker inspection. Three new teachers, replacing those on leave, helped to carry out a program in the GIRLS' P.E. DEPARTMENT under a system of six-week units of activity rather than the previous nine-week system. This year there was increased emphasis on posture and body mechanics. There was also a reintroduction of games for recreation, such as ping-pong, croquet, shuffleboard. deck tennis and horseshoes. Interest in the Olympics inspired the addition of track and field events for girls in the spring curriculum. ROW I. I«lt fo right: Beverly Devil. B.A.; Betty Moehnke.

As in past years the BUSINESS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT offered courses in secretarial training, bookkeeping, office training, and merchandising. These courses of study were meant to prepare students for the business world from the vocational aspect. A college preparatory course was also offered for business students planning to major in business or business management in college. Many business students were given a chance to put what they had learned into practice by working at Brocks on Blue and White Day and at Weill's on Oracle Day. The department encouraged job preparation and offered a ten-hour Christmas training course to junior and senior students. ROW I. left to righf: OHo Aiperger. MClara Holm.� . A.� .; Marion Scoff.

The aims of first year art were to introduce students to different kinds of art. to develop art appreciation through different techniques. and to give a creative approach. Second, third and fourth year art developed and presented different problems utilizing techniques learned in first year art. The department's course in ceramics was lengthened this year to a full year's course because of new equipment available. About every six weeks the FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT met to discuss teaching problems and to examine new teaching methods. Due to an increased enrollment in Latin, a teacher was added to the department, makinq a total of seven—two Latin, two French and three Spanish. Three years of instruction were offered in each languaqe. Thorough training in the fundamentals of readinq. writing, and speaking, basic to advanced studv in linquistics. was provided in each of the classes. By also studying the literature of foreign countries, students were helped to gain an appreciation and understanding of foreign peoples and to prepare for many college majors.

Designed to enlarge student appreciation of music and to afford opportunities to participate in musical qroups, the MUSIC DEPARTMENT offered theoretical courses besides vocal and instrumental instruction. Three teachers, including one who was new to the department, helped to carry out a program which was beneficial both to the students who had an interest in music and to the residents of the community. The crowning point of the year for botn students in the orchestra and choral groups and their advisors was the joint operetta in the spring. ROW I, laft o right: Clarer.ce Hamm. Clarenca Harbin.

OifolML There was no end, this year, to the work of the CUSTODIANS. Their job was not confined to the maintenance of buildings on campus, but included care of the athletic fields and of the school farm. Among their number were not only men at work in buildings, but gardeners, watchmen, repairmen and truck drivers. In spite of the removal of the Junior College, there was more work for the custodians, as Ludden Hall and portions of the north wing of Warren Hall opened. Gardeners, too, had added responsibilities with the new additions to the school landscape. The men who worked hard on our buses, but who wore never around to take credit for it. were the MAINTENANCE CREW. It was their job to keep transportation for the entire district in good order. The crew comprised eleven maintenance men under the supervision of one foreman. In their working groups were two main mechanics, others who greased the buses, took care of the lights and painting, washed and cleaned the buses and changed and recapped the tires.

Twenty-six employees kept the recently built cafeteria running smoothly. Each employee had one particular job in which she specialized, including those of range cook, pastry cook and salad cook. Cooking not only for the students but also for the faculty kept the Cafeteria Staff quite busy. Members of the staff also worked in the snack bar before school and during noon. Students too helped out daily in the cafeteria. Since 1916 the district bus system has grown from throe buses to the present number, fifty-five, the largest school bus system in the county. All drivers in the TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT took a two-week drivers' training course and passed a practical test before being allowed to drive a bus. Drivers tried at all times to maintain high standards of courtesy and safety-minded-ness. In the Transportation Department twenty-one of the drivers were students at Bakersfield College.

It certainly wasn't all work and no play for the Student Government class. The participation of the EXEC BOARD at the third annual Camp Workshop at Camp Condor was an outstanding example of the blending of fun and responsibility in leadership. October 20 was again a scene of laughter as the Board celebrated Mr. Rodgers' birthday one week late. At the end of the rally season. there was a great deal of argument and show of spirit as winners of the yell banner wore announced. Having to pay fines for calling Warren Hall J.C. kept members alert. Outstanding among all activities, however. was the Exec Board Banquet. June 10. when one year's student body officers turned over the responsibilities of student government to the next year's group. To add to the Driller Smokeitack Fund, member of the E«ec Board worked on car wathet. 34 axJwgL cudiviiisLiu.

With two themes, To take the government to more students. and To better all records favorable to the school’s tradition, the EXECUTIVE BOARD invited different history classes to their meetings, hoping that students would take more interest in their government. The first record bettered was that of attendance at the Howdy Hop, and a record sale of nearly 2400 Student Activity Cards followed. The major project of the year was the dedication and renaming of the former Junior College Building as Warren Hall, with student representatives from all over the state attending. Other projects wore car washes, a football breakfast rally, and a tape recording of on Exec Board meeting for use in government classes.

QiUsucL Students in auto mechanics classes mad a comprehensive study o th inlrlcac! t of auto-mobil motor . As in past years, a wide variety of subjects was offered to those students who chose to take vocational courses of study. These courses were meant to train not only the future mechanic or secretary, but also the future housewife, farmer, and others. Students in the vocational classes were given the opportunity of havinq first-hand, practical training in their chosen fields. This practical training often took the form of luscious meals in the Home Economics Department or herds of purebred livestock in the Agriculture Department. Among the many vocational courses were to be found everything from auto mechanics and welding to cooking and sewing and from commercial art to merchandising—thus giving students a great deal to choose from. On of th m«ny Assignment in Mrs. Patterson's beginning art class concerned business problems to be solved through effective advertising. Merchandising classes provided students with a practical knowledge of good sales techniques. Teaching girfs to be gracious hostesses and efficient housewives was but on goal of th Brides' Course. JWSLTlI rnsucL. faking History JB-?A was on of ilia fin steps toward complet-ing a collage preparatory major. College preparatory courses were designed to fulfill the basic requirements for students entering college. These requirements included courses in math, science, foreign language. English and history. This variety of classes was designed to give students more drill and a broader background for college. To improve the curricula, each year at Christmas, seniors of the preceding year ore invited to discuss, with counselors and other faculty, courses they wish they had taken or courses they were glad they had taken. As a result of such conferences, new courses were added and other courses were made required ones in college preparatory curricula. Two such courses were added this year in the math and English departments. Also a third year of each of the foreign languages was offered. Students In chemistry clesses learned basic principles of chemistry and gained a working knowledge of lab work, which prepared them for advanced courses. As one of the last phases of preparation for college. Miss Wiley explained the intricacies of a typical college entrance paper to her English I2A students.

Its sixty members were elected by the social studies or history classes with the presiding officers of the group being the freshman class officers who were elected early in the fall semester. Upon the request of the Exec Board to start a new idea, the Council chose Madness as the theme for its dance in January, which was a new trend in dance titles. A committee wos elected from the Frosh Council to plan freshman assemblies by combining information and entertainment. The group contributed to the Hungarian Student Fund and the Christmas Fund, as well as holding noon sales. Also, it was the duty of the council to purchase awards for the interclass track meet in March. ROW I. I ft to riahl: Stuart Wong. Philip BotUncourt. Lynn M rc r, 81111 Carr, Kathy Inman.

A busy year was planned by the SOPHOMORE CLASS COUNCIL Workinq together, some thirty-five members strived greatly to keep BHS the best hiqh school in Kern County. One of their main projects concerned the class council awards, which they ordered and presented. In helpinq with the Hungarian Relief project, members sold tags and also contributed to the donations qiven through other clubs. Alonq with the other three councils, they also took part in the selling of Student Activity Cards. A highlight of their year was the annual Sophomore Class dance. To help keep the campus clean, the class council had class representatives on the Campus Clean-up and Welfare and Safety Committees. Special elections to replace officers who moved away, noon sales, and registration and voting completed the year's activities. ROW I. Uft to right: Dava Kinojhlta.

Patterned after a French sidewalk cafe, the annual affair was held June 8 in the Quad. Two other dances were sponsored by the juniors, one being after the Driller-Glendale Hoover football game October 4. A precedent was set at the Sociable Swing ' on March I when a most sociable couple was selected from a list decided upon by the council. Another money-making project was the coke and candied apple concession which the Junior Class had at the interclass track meet. The forty members of the council, who were elected through their social studies classes, sought to promote student government and to activate the Junior Class as a whole.

This year's SENIOR CLASS COUNCIL was primarily interested in serving BHS, a desire expressed by the club's eagerness to contribute to and participate in all BHS fund-raising and spirit-building activities. Through representation in such organizations as Rally Club and Co-ordinating Council. Council members were able to obtain a much broader realization of such activities. So that the senior gift would benefit the seniors prior to their graduation, it was for the first time presented early in the spring, instead of being presented at the end of the school year.

The purpose of the organization was to interest more girls in school activities and to promote friendliness among them. This year, the League hoped to increase school spirit among the girls of Bakersfeld High School, who were all members. When the thirty-frst Central California Girls' League Convention met at BHS on October 27 of this year, along with girls from other local high schools BHS girls served as hostesses to the convention. The Typical Co-ed Dance, Lovers' Lone, held on February 15. was a main event of the year. Other activities were Hi-Day, the Feminine Follies, the all-girl assembly in the fall, Welfare Tag Day at Christmas time, noon soles, and the Scholarship Award Assembly in May.

Recognition of scholarship and improvement of the school in general were purposes of the LEAGUE OF MEN STUDENTS. Members of the Governing Board were elected during their freshman year and further vacancies were filled by students chosen by the Governing Board. Some of their activities during the past year were the annual LMS Assembly and the Scholarship Assembly. held during the last week of school, of which LMS and Girls' League were co-sponsors. Money was raised by a dance after the Driller-North High basketball game and by the operation of the soft-drinks concession at the basketball games. Money raised by these events went toward a scholarship for a deserving student. Other activities included a fall steak-bake and candied apple sales in the Senior Booth.

The MESSENGERS CLUB performed a valuable hourly service by picking up from classrooms and delivering to classrooms call slips, messages and absence slips. Students were also recommended by their counselors and taken from study hall to work in the Administration Building. Parties held at regular intervals helped break the everyday routine. Pins were awarded to deserving members at the annual spring Awards Banquet. Student pride in the BHS campus was promoted by CAMPUS AFFAIRS COMMITTEE. This organization, composed of twenty faculty and forty student members, met twice a month to consider problems of mutual interest. Complete reports on Boys’ State and Girls' State were given and reviewed along with regular discussions of campus problems. The committee regretted that its chairman, Eleanor Frater. retired at the end of the first semester. Through the year, the group was proud of the enthusiasm shown by its participants.

The most outstanding player in each section was selected as section leader: thus he was entitled to sit in the first seat of his section.

The purpose of the YMCA was to create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the home, school, and community. Although individual clubs supplemented these requirements. Christian character was the primary objective of each organization. The YMCA sponsored activities for these youth, including a Hi-Y basketball league and the annual New Year's Eve dance. Bal Rouge. A novel contribution to the Christian spirit on high school campuses was Golden Rule Day, held this year for the first time during the week preceding Easter vacation. On that day the practice of the Golden Rule was emphasized and those students who were cited for their courtesy were given golden rulers by Y members. TANDA ROW I left fo fight: Karan Lawis.

Pictures, planned by the staff, were prepared for the engraver by the photography classes. Senior members filled editorial positions and junior members assisted by typing, scheduling pictures, and copywriting. Members were selected from among students recommended by English teachers for outstanding creative abilities and interests. Students received elective English credit for staff membership, as yearbook production included training in English as well as in cooperation and dependability.

The importance of learning the correct technique in handling a camera was stressed in this year’s PHOTOGRAPHY CLASSES. They were responsible for much of the fine photography shown in both the Blue and White and the Oracle. Nearly 1550 identification pictures were taken of the freshmen for school records along with some pictures of sport's highlights from the important games. For the past four years students enrolled in BHS photography classes have won awards in the National Scholastic photographic contest.

At club meetings members discussed various phases of radio construction and operation. Since members were ham radio operators, they also discussed radio contacts which they had made throughout the world. Combining accumulated experience obtained through the use of their own radio equipment, members constructed a club transmitter which any member could use. Club facilities were always available for use in case of emergency or disaster. During the club's annual Field Day, members took their equipment up into the mountains in order to test it under such emergency conditions. ROW I, left to right: Clayton Jow.

They took about three special field trips during the year to some of the local country around Shell Park and Round Mountain to find stones. Sometimes by cutting their finds they produced semi-precious stones. Some of the members set their stones and made jewelry out of them. The club was very active socially, havinq about six parties during the year and winding it up with a barbecue in May. Any sophomore, junior, or senior who was interested in lapidary and wanted to furtner his avocation could join. ROW I, I aft to right: Sandra Sandttaad. Pat laviolatta. Shirlay Holllngiworfh.

Social life at BHS included many types of pleasure. Talking with friends and helping with decorations for a banquet were of the more casual type; whereas formal dances and Oracle signing day were special occasions. SociaL iRaijjalkj.- Min 8HS.

The Rival Romp, co-sponsored by the BHS Blue and White and the EBHS Sierran, was the first high school dance held in the Junior College Campus Center. Highlighting the evening was the crowning of Miss BHS. who in previous years was crowned in the spring. Kay Kennedy was the delighted recipient of the honor. The giant letters BHS also were used for the first time and were then made available to other clubs who wished to make use of them. More than 1,000 students were present and joined in the Snowball Dance, led by Bobby and Betty Blade. Harold Taber and Kay Kennedy. hsiqnsuL aL danaidu. The lucky number is 254—This was the call for the Snow Prince and Princess at the White Christmas Formal. Receiving the honor this year were Roy Collins and Daisey Humphrey, both seniors. Their crowning at intermission took place on a throne done in green. As Prince and Princess, it was their duty to lead the grand march, an exclusive honor for royalty. Glowing and happy was Becky Henning when she was chosen Big B Queen at the annual Big B Dance. Becky, song leader and a member of IRC and Rally Club, was all in all a very active young lady on campus. The 8 from the big block letters, BHS, was appropriately used as the setting for her throne. Happiness glowed on the face of Patty Ellerd as she was crowned Typical Co-ed of BHS at the annual Girls' League semi-formal Valentine dance. Tiny red cupids and hearts were table decorations which helped punctuate the Valentine motif. Highlighting the decorations was “lovers' lane, which corresponded to the theme of the dance. Many couples enjoyed dancing that night to the mellow music of the Nobles. Roy Collint and Daisy Humphrey, Snow Prince and Princes .

Big 8 Queen, looked admiringly at her crown, presented her by Bob Schmidt at the Big B dance. 147 Accepting the bracelet of the Typical Co-ed from Jerry Lander, Patty Ellerd glowed with pleasure. Periodic informal dencet helped relieve the ¥••' � ece-demic routine. The Howdy Hop. sponsored by the student body, began the round of BHS social activities for the 1956-57 school year. The main purpose of this annual dance was to help welcome freshmen and new students to BHS. Many students enjoyed dancing from 8:30 to 11:30 under the stars in the Quad. Mellow music was furnishea by the Californians and the many students were entertained during intermission by the Coins. Two Student Activity Cards and one Oracle were awarded to lucky ticket holders. 148 hiqhJ qhlsuL ihsL OhiUsitulsL jj Wl. Tradition prevailed, but was also broken, at the MILITARY BALL presented by the Cadets. As usual, a military theme was used throughout, and a queen, Jeannie Older-shaw, and ladies-in-waiting Jeannie Venables. Ann Mills, and Alice Yackey, were picked by the student body from candidates selected by the cadets. Contrary to tradition. however, this year the ball, held in the cafeteria, was semi-formal instead of formal. The combination of dashing uniform! end peitel drestei made the Military Bell one of the moil colorful deneei of the year. 149 SiujdsLnhu £fjcrth isuL Elm Grove kept up its seasonal changes as it has since its beginning, when BHS was one small building set in the midst of the grove. Although BHS has increased steadily in size and the new Cafeteria and Quad have provided other gathering places, many students still stop between classes to chat under the huge elms, and club sales have been held there in the Senior Booth. Popular and semi-classical records were p'ayed on alternate days to add to the comfortable atmosphere which prevailed in the CAFETERIA this year. The cafeteria was not only a place to eat but also to congre-aate at noontime to study or just to talk. Besides plavinq its daily role as a lunchroom, throughout the year it was the scene of faculty meetings as well as club meetings and dances.

The Administration Building was the one on campus best known to the 4300 enrolloes of BHS. In this long, low, modern structure, located near the center of the campus, were housed the principal's office, the counselors’ offices and other offices for those who helped turn the wheels behind the largo machine which was Bakersfield High School. Students also enjoyed the use of two of the most modern gyms in the state. Besides being used daily for regular P.E. classes, thoy were the scene of the basketball games and wrestling matches between BHS and rival schools. 151 Playing leading rolat in tha lanlor clan play, Tha Curlout Savaga. wara Pat Robinson as Mrs. Savaga, David Evans as Titus Savaga, Diana Crawford as Lily Balia, and Gaorga Ogdan as Samual Savaga. Christina Norton sarvad as studant diractor. One of the best plays given at BHS for a long timo was this year's senior play. The Curious Savage. The play was about Mrs. Ethel Savage who. after being committed to a mental institution, hid from her stepchildren, in a one-eyed teddy bear, ten million dollars. This comedy was not all satire, but contained enough pathos that, after one laughed, he had to gulp because of a peculiar lump in his throat. Characters were cast excellently, and the players demonstrated a feeling for their parts. At the student matinee held in Harvey Auditorium during sixth and seventh periods on November 8, the balcony was reserved for seniors only; yet there was a capacity crowd attending. An evening performance was also held on November 9 to accommodate an appreciative community audience. Play. Hannibal, play!” brought tha final curtain down upon tha highly amutlng itory of Mr� .

Out of a cast of thirty-three, four of them flew gracefully through the air with the help of a coble end harness. The cast did a fine job and were strong in their characterizations of Peter Pan, his friends ond antagonists. Local junior high schools were privileged this year to attend a special performance just for them, as the play is a fantasy.

The student body attended many RALLIES that were presented either during a class period or during noon periods to promote enthusiasm for both football and basketball games. Ingenious stunts were performed to illustrate the need of team support and to satirize the opposing teams. Before the E.B.-BHS game, black and white crosses were placed in the field to show the history of annual rivalries. As the valley championship drow nearer, a thermometer was placed in Griffith Field, to show the progress of the Drillers. Enthusiasm flowed freely at the annual EB Exchange Rally, when Bakersfield High welcomed to its campus the East Bakersfield High student body president and song and yell leaders. Besides promoting friendship and sportsmanship between the two schools, the rally stressed fair play on the part of the teams and the rooters. The BHS student body also got a chance to hear both presidents speak, see the routine of combined song and yell leaders, and to see the Driller Band, fully uniformed, perform a half-time ceremony.

More then four thousend BHS’ers poured Into Griffith Field for pep rallies during football seeion. The Varsity Song and Yell Leaders added color and lire to both games and rallies. They helped boost school spirit and cheet the teams on. These six Drillerites had to have a C average and were elected by the student body. Amonq their activities were conducting the leadership technique classes, leading yells at banquets and arranging meetinqs with sonq and yell leaders from other schools. Their most dazzling performance was at the Driller versus E.B. Valley Championship game. BHS't celebreted cerd lection identified itself by meking a gient block B. A cloud of dust rose as students, hunting for friends and carrying rooters' signs, attempted to reach the stadium to get choice seats at the rallies held during the football season. The CARD SECTION during football season was again sponsored by the Junior class. Hours and hours of hard work went into making this a successful project. Not only did they form traditional Block B. but the rooting section sent giant Hi’s to the opposing team and worked in stunts to correspond with the Driller Band's half-time activities.

The song leaders held occasional practices with the pep band to perfect coordination; the yell leaders originated new. peppy yells. Spirited rooters and football enthusiasts filled the stands at the week-end qames. More interest than usual was aroused in the sport this year, with several noon rallies being added to the usual third and sixth period pep rallies. The football games served as an exciting interlude which brought friends together and increased school spirit. 9L wcUl. cl kappif ijsiWL SEPTEMBER 14 Howdy Hop 28 Freshman Elections 28 Drillers vs. Merced OCTOBER 5 5 12 12 16 19 23 24. 25. 26 26 31 Blue and White Open House Drillers vs. Glendole-Hoover Drillers vs. Delano P.T.A.

The DRILLER FOOTBALL TEAM emerged with the Valley Championship for the third consecutive year. This was probably the last year of existence of the valley football title; therefore the Briggsmen were keyed to the limit throughout th season in order to win in a last chance at the title. The Drillers who formed the 1956 squad fought their way to the crown with the attitude that, since BHS won the first valley title. BHS was going to win the last one. For the second year the Drillers met E.B. twice in a single season. This year the second meeting was for the championship, and the Drillers, who had beaten the Blades in four out of five meetings since Coach Briggs became head mentor, came through with a 14-6 triumph. During the varsity’s long struggle toward the crown, it won ten of eleven games. Their spirit was uplifted by the strong backing of their loyal rooters.

An impressive record was chalked up by the SANDAB FOOTBALL TEAM. This B-c!ass squad tasted defeat but once, and that was at the hands of Glendale Hoover by a count of 20-13. The season turned out one of the most outstanding Sandab squads in recent years. The team scored thirty touchdowns which totaled 202 points, while the opposition gathered only 46 points. Excellent material for the 1957 Drillers was seen in many of the spirited gridders. Sam Wilkerson and Gerald Vaughan were chosen by the team as honorary captains.

This proved not to be enough, however, as they fell into a slump and seemed unable to get out as the season progressed. The team had many disheartening breaks when the opposition barely pushed over a score in the last quarter to win by a few points. Two of the squad's games were won by forfeit. These games were supposed to be played against North High, but the north-of-the-river opponent failed to present a team for competition. ROW I, loll to right: Floyd Hester.

HANFORD 45-DRILLERS 44 — This was the heart-breaking score which signified that the Drillers had lost the Valley Championship game. Playing on Hanford's home court, because they had the choice of gyms, the Drillers were handicapped by poor gym conditions. They coped with poor lighting, weak backboards and a cramped playing floor. These hindrances were the worst that the Varsity squad had to contend with during the whole season. This was the first time since 1954 that the Drillers had had a chance to gain the Valley crown. In South Yosemite League play, the A class team showed their supremacy by attaining an over-all record of 15 wins against 3 losses. This record was not equaled by any other opponent; so the Drillers won the SYL crown. This year's team proved to be a great comeback squad, as many times during the season when the outcome looked disastrous at half time, they would rally in the final stanza to win in breathless style.

The D-RESERVES marched home in triumph with a desperate shot in the last five seconds of the overtime to win 23-21 over the cross-town rivals. This victory allowed the Reserves the right to hold sole possession of the league championship.

B. or C classes, but into participants in field events, sprints and hurdles, and distance. All three classes were under the coach of the patricular event in which they wanted to compete. The A and B class sprinters and hurdlers were the fastest in the valley, as they hadn't lost a heat in the early part of the season. The C class had won all but one. the loss being to Delano by a few points in tho third meet of the season. ROW I, left to right: Willio Tucker, Walter Mince. Vaunness Harri .

Field events included competition in the broad jump, high jump, shotput and discus. These events played on important role in many of the BHS victories, as they usually compiled more points for BHS than any other event. As the Blue and White tracksters couldn't be stopped in this event, defeat was never tasted. The cindermen of Bakersfield dominated the distance events of all meets in which they participated. The milers always insured points for BHS, since the team included one of the best milers in the valley, Jesse Hernandez. The 800 relay team also was very strong as it rapidly equaled the old record set by BHS. ROW I, left to right: Don Caxida, Coach; James Thionnet.

This cry was uttered by the members of the DRILLER BASEBALL TEAM at almost every game, since the Drillers proved to be a powerful hitting team. This was proved by the fact that the team itself had around a .300 average. The 1957 season produced many excellent pitchers, who helped the team when it was in a clutch. These hurlers allowed on the average only four to five hits per game. Allround team work, combined with the helping hand of the coaches, produced a slug-fost season for the Drillers as they triumphed over other SYL schools.

Coached by Bill French, head of the P.E. department, the JV's had a fine record with few defeats. A new coach aided the FROSH BASEBALL TEAM in their many spirited games. These boys gained a great deal of experience during the season to help them in future years on the JV and Varsity squads.

The SWIMMING TEAM, like other major athletic teams of BHS. showed its supremacy by establishing records for many events. These weren't just school records, but national records as well. For example, the 200-yard relay team set a national record at a swim carnival in the early part of the season. These mermen started off with a momentum which never died during the season, as they continued giving dazzling performances. This year's squad was one of the largest in the valley: therefore they had great depth throughout the season in almost all of the events in which they competed for the valley title.

The 1957 BOYS' TENNIS TEAM was the one to be beaten if any other school hoped to win the league crown. The team included one of the state's youngest rising tennis stars. Denny Ralston. Two other returning lettermen proved to be a valuable asset, as the BHS'ers managed to take their single matches. Not to be outdone, the GIRLS' TENNIS TEAM displayed good form on the courts, in order to win the sets which enabled them to win game after game. The team had many returning players who bolstered the win column and as a result helped the team chalk up a good record. Paced by returning lettermen, the GOLF TEAM managed to keep themselves in the win column by completely trampling all opponents who challenged them on the green.
