Vol XIII June 1937 No. 1 Petrolia Presents ' 36- ' 37 Chronicle Yearbook Features School Activities In Newspaper Theme Fashioned after the whims the taste of the sourpuss night goes to press in step with the ra abreast with all phases of living Divisions for seniors, classes, sports, and organizations com- piled in true journalistic style add a novel atmosphere to this year- book. Seniors merit the headline Dews, juniors handle classified ads, sophomores feature the so- ciety section, and junior high runs in the comic strips. To emphasize further the jour- nalistic theme, the sports editors have deviated from the charac- teristic color of the other pages and adopted green paper for their sections. Articles of this division have been loosely written without strictly adhering to editorial or news stylo, but blending the qual- ities of both to bring that individ- ualistic touch to the section which is peculiar to the daily sheets. of newspaperdom, styled for editor, the Petrolia this year pid pace of school life, as in this mechanical era.

School Annual Published By Coalinga High Members of the Petrolia staff have endeavored to leave for the student b o d y a yearbook worthy of remembrance. It it their belief that as the students thumb through its pages in years to come, they will feel a warm glow at the glance of each described event of this un- forgettable year. Student activities in the high school during the past year have been more numerous than ever before, since three new and two young clubs have been function- ing. Student control has been in- troduced in senior high and a new system of election has been tried in junior high. Moving pic- tures have been used extensively both for entertainment and for classroom instruction. Swimming and football have made marvelous headway, carrying forward with them school spirit. It is with these thoughts in mind that the members have en- joyed their task.

Page 2 The Petrolia June 1937 Vice Principal Gives Message To Graduates Elbert Hubbard once s a i d, The true test of one ' s education lies in the possessor ' s ability to serve. At no time has this statement been more applicable than tcday. As young men and women com- pleting your high school work, the challenge of the world lies in the one word service . The one thing in which I he world is inter- ested is your ability to serve. You will not ne cal ed upon to give an account of how m u c h work you have taken in school or how much you k n o w. The world is not interested in your tack recoids. your position on the debating team, or school lien- ors you have taken, unless they are indications cf your ability to serve. It is in erested in what you can do. It is interested in your ability to give to your fel- low men. in service, that which goes beyond doing what you have agreed to do. what you have been paid for doing. It is interested in that additional service w h i c h makes your work s and out. and above the ordinary requirements of the task. As an example of the difference between required w o r k and service, let us take the case of the gasoline station operator, who nils your gas tank and puts w a- ter in your radiator, and w i t h this, considers his task complet- ed. Now let us compare him with the man who, with a smile, wipes your windshield, the rear w i n- dow, checks y o u r battery and tires as a part of the work of selling gas and oil. We need not ask which station is going to get your patronage. And still, both j men perform the required task, j One, however, gave you some- thing that money cannot buy. The willingness to take care of the things that were, perhaps, not absolutely necessary, but added greatly to your c o m fort and frame of mind. Service Plus Duty It is service of this kind that the world is looking for, and is willing to pay for. There are plenty of opportunities for these who have trained themselves to consider their work or their posi- tion as worthy of more of their time and energy t h a n just the eight hours per day. which is the actual requirement of your job. It is this type of service, willing- ly given, that has taken a young- freight clerk and placed him in the railroad president ' s c h a i r, and it is this kind of service that has produced the things w h i c h have made this world a better place in which to live. There are today, as there have been in the past, opportunities for those who have prepared themselves for work in some par- ticular field. To the student who has trained himself to do this work well, who can find work to do without being told, and who can do it with a smile, the word failure will have lost its mean- ing. And. to the Class of ' 37, if you give to the world your best, it will return its best to you. — T. A. ELLESTAD.
