Qoals for Attainment ln 1968, 675 students passed through the halls of Bakersfield High School for the last time. In four years each student develops talents and abilities through devotion to making the most of opportunities presented by the curricular and extracurricular program. liach year a student is confronted by more difficult tasks to accomplish and more complex concepts to understand: as a result his mind ascends to higher and higher de- grees of achievement until the pinnacle of grad- uation is realized. From this point there are other high peaks and lofty goals to strive for and to attain. Because America is the land of the free, each student is educated with freedom to dream and to aspire, always in hope of realization through devotion to individual goals. For every student several flights of slairs must be climbed each day. Before reaching lhe pinnacle of high school qradualicn, each studenl rnusf also climb lhe slaircases of mcnlal and emolional devel-upmenl. 51 M

evotion to Learning The dimension of greatest significance in high school education is the attainment of academic success. The effort each student devotes to aca- demic achievement determines what he gains in the growth of knowledge from his schooling experience. In the classroom a student learns to give verbal and written expression to his thoughts and ideasg as he absorbs knowledge his mind becomes tuned to meet the potential demands of the future by learning to apply his natural abilities to the tasks of the present. By fulhlling homework assignments and studying for tests, a student develops responsibility, disci- pline, and pride. Because it supplies the means to gain knowledge, devotion to academics is the key that unlocks the door to the future. QR J-IQ, f.
