QnAiAudtiovL cmdcL bsL The meetings of the BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT took place in the Boys' Gym Office every fourth Tuesday of every school month. 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.

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.

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.
