£aksifiA§isdcL Jtiqh. 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.
