I Iudge Thomas Norman Harvey, who had a deep love for youth and a pro- found interest in public education. A former teacher, prominent local attorney, and Superior Court judge for five years in Kern County, Iudge Harvey served on the Board of Trustees of the Kern County Union High School District from May, l927, until his death in October, 1948. He Was Board president from Ianuary, 1929, until Iuly, 1948. During Iudge Harvey's long service on the Board of Trustees, East Bakersfield High School emerged from a mere dream to a reality and is taking its place as a major educational institution in the community. The memory of Judge Harvey stands as a symbol of progress, sound develop- ment, and broad understanding. h 4 .,... .f .. -...

They called us in to talk about our grades. They wanted to know what kind of a job we were going into after we graduated, or just which college we planned to attend. They checked our credits to make sure we had enough and wouldn't be left out when all our friends got their diplomas: they greeted new students and made them feel at home. 'When' ever trouble was brewing, this posse could feel it a-comin' and did their best to straighten things out. Sometimes we'd get to thinking it over and it would dawn on us how right our counselors were and how lucky we were for them to be there. There were times when they made us just plain haDDY -like the times they found just the job we were looking for after school, or told us that we could try for a certain scholarship and had a good chance of winning, or that we were eligible for some sport when we thought we'd just be spectators this time, or a thousand and one things that we were more than glad to hear about. Real friends were our counselors. They worked hard and kept our interests always upper- most in their minds. We agree that this is one of the nicest posses we know.

Mr. Ben Kellner, Mr. Irving Lane, Mrs. Miriam Gurr. OUR BEST PAN Here undoubtedly we have East High's best fan and greatest supporter - Mr. Kenneth W. Rich our favorite principal. We could always find Mr. Rich cheering for the team at Blade conflicts of all kinds, from the football games where we froze our hands and feet to the sweltering track meets. Not alone a sports fan, he came to all East High functions that he could possibly attend. And during each long school day he put in, he worked constantly for better methods of getting a little book learning into our heads. He also worked hard to keep teacher-pupil relations at the highest possible level, and in so doing, helped make our school one of the best in the valley. Mr. Rich has been head man at E. B. since its inception ten years ago. He has seen it grow from a two-year high school to the formidable institution it is today. He has seen many changes in the old place since 1939, and all for the good. And these improvements are due in great measure to one man, K. W. Rich. Not content with watching sporting events, Mr. Rich likes to play the rough old western game of chess! ln the panel at left we see him relaxing over the chess board. He ponders thoughtfully his next move, carefully plays his man, then settles back, successful as always. Always ready to help or hender us in the attendance office were Edna Rusk, Betty Fuller. Hester MacDonald und Eva Bishop. Their Jobs AFB Rnltndin' Up UST1 and Round1n'Up Dirt One of the hardest working bunches around the camp we call East High, the office staff deserve much more credit than they ever get. No matter what time we went into the office, We found them busy at something, typing up the an- nouncements, selling tickets, filling out readmittance slips, getting the finances straight, collecting gym fines, mimeographing tests, giving minutesf oops! We'd better stop before we change our minds. Then there are our custodians. Always riding herd on the dirt, and inci- dentally on kids sneaking into the hall at noontime, they are familiar sights around our campus. Always busy at something and always working to improve the looks of the school, the custodians were certainly among the people we were glad to have around.

An event which saddened East High was the passing of Iudge T. N. Harvey who died of a heart attack. He Was a sincere friend of all students and a long-time trustee Whose presence will be sorely missed. We know, of course, that Mr. Phil Ohanneson, appointed to complete Iudge Harvey's term, will be an excellent trustee, as he has previously successfully served as a board member. lt's hard for most of us to realize the Wonderful job the Board is doing, because we don't ever get to see them in action.

RICHARD ARMISTEAD WILEVA BAILEY 1,09 ,Sf H ' Chosen for his myriad activities on behalf of the student body was our well-liked student body president, George Poulos. Besides being an outstanding athlete in three sports. George served as senior class yell leader, was in the Service Club, Rally Club, Iunior Statesmen, Newman Club, Letterman Club, was E. B. delegate to Boys State. presided over the Board of Commissioners, and was one of the hilarious Brazilian admirals in the senior play. Because of his reliability. a keen sense of humor, brains all over the place, and a finger in many pies, Donn Byrne was selected as an outstanding senior. Besides being Kernal editor and assistant editor of the Sierran, he was elected C. S. F. treasurer, chosen first alternate to Boys State, and belonged to the Service Club, lunior Statesmen, Quill and Scroll, Board of Commissioners, and Radio Work- shop. Many hours of excellent work for E. B. are to Donn's credit. Known far and wide for her thoughffulness of others and her consistent activity in school affairs, lovely Clotean Helm is another outstanding senior. She did a wonderful iob as president of the Girls' League. As feature editor of the Kernal, Clotean wrote the crusadinq column, At the Helm. She was also active in the Service Club, Rally Club, the Radio Workshop, the Board of Commissioners. and served as publicity manager of the C. S. F. THE OUTSTANDING SENIORS WERE CHOSEN BY VOTE OF THE ENTIRE E. B. FACULTY Audrey Foster, our charming student body secretary, has undoubtedly been one of the most active and hard-working students ever to attend East High. The little girl with the maroon convertible was our delegate to Girls State, be- longed to the Rally Club, Service Club, Iunior Statesmen. Girls' League, and is still remembered for her performance as the mother in the junior class play last year. Audrey also has to her credit the writing of a school song. So many athletic honors have been bestowed on Iim Riley in football, basketball, and track that it would be useless to try to list them all. Our All-Valley back was also senior class president, second alternate to Boys State, King of the Girls' Date, belonged to the Letterman Club, was on the Board of Commissioners, in the Service Club, Newman Club, Rally Club. and played the Zowie role of Andy Hardy in last year's iunior play. He-like the other five- helpod make Mrs. Woodruffs second period English class famous for infamous?J. Perfection is the only word to describe this outstanding senior, Virginia Zachery. Popular, beautiful, intelligent, active-all fit this little red-headed girl. She was editor of this book, president of the Service Club, Song Leader, was on the Board of Commissioners, Queen of the Midnight Masquerade, active in the C. S. F., Girls' League, and Rally Club. Virginia has represented E. B. at many affairs. including the opening of the Tehachapi Highway and the Tournament oi Roses Parade at Pasadena.

Under the able guidance of Miss Smith and Mr. Tener, the juniors showed East High that they really have something on the ball. One of their first activities was taking responsibility for collecting Community Chest money for the student body, they themselves contributing 352500. The lower upperclassmen put in a good showing in the yell competition but couldn't nose out the ever-winning class of '49. ln conjunction with the senior girls, they put on the unforgettable Girls' Football Game, which the nimble-footed seniors rnan- aged to win. There were also the Disc Jockey live, the junior play, and the lovely Iunior-Senior Prom. The Iunior Class Council was organized to give each and every member of the class more of a part in the running of the class. As it is a iine class, even better things are expected from it next year.

GDICI DLISI Last year they were just freshmen. This year they moved into the big time. The sophomore class put in another very active year at East Bakersfield High School. Like other classes, they organized a council and thus gave every member of the class a hand in running its activities. Mrs. Miriam Gurr and Mr. Ray Kitts did an inspired job of advising the class. The sophomores had been here just long enough to look at the freshmen and wonder if they had ever been such tender- feet. Then, they looked ahead and were pleased about the idea of being upper- classmeri next year. The class of '51 put on a dance and assembly which showed what a really good class they are going to develop into. With their cute girls and very promising athletes, this class is clearly going to be a credit to East High be fore they leave. BACK ROW, lelt to right: Rex Farr, Betty Clagqett, Kent Cummings.

The future athletes, beauties, writers, song leaders, of this-the freshman class--still haven't made themselves absolutely recognizable to the rest of the student body. But they definitely are there. With such activities as the Ba-Ta lump-a record dance that was enhanced by the presence of Bill Elliot-the class of '52 showed how industrious they are. The smooth running of the class is largely due to the work and effort of their excellent advisors, Mrs. Margaret Sprague and Mr. Roscoe Morgan.

The main accomplishment was the buying ot a motion picture camera to take movies ot athletic events of all types. They will be used in the future for the good of the teams and coaches, plus the entertain' ment of the student body. The third annual Letterrnen-sponsored box- ing tournament came off in fine style as did the preliminary bouts. Then, there was the annual Scarlet and Blue Revue. As usual the stu- dent body enioyed it greatly. For the good of the Letterinen Club a chart was made showing every letterman, in what sport he lettered, and how many stripes he was en' titled to wear.

Each and every Friday E. Bites flocked in front of school to buy their Kernals. CThose without nickles borrowed a friend's stu- dent body card.J Some weeks it was goody other weeks it was better. It was a lot of fun to gripe about the Kernal, but most of us weren't too surprised to find that we had one of the best school newspapers in the Valley. Not content to work like dogs to get out a paper week after week, the staff strained a gusset and staged one of the best dances of the year, the Headline Hop. Snarking the affair were the announcement of Terry O'Neal as Fatima, the Mystery Girl, and the balloon dance. Due to the efforts of Ecli- tor Donn Byrne and Advisor Ray Kitts, the Kernal had a new banner on the front page, a new sports head, and more pic- tures than ever before in E.B.'s history. Business Managers Patty Hughes tsecond se- meiterl and Iim Weddle Uirst semesterl. The Headline Hop was the Kernal's big dance of the year. One oi the many ieatures oi this affair was the balloon dance. Shown getting in practice are Charlie Hayes. Pat Ramsland, Terry Fatima O'Nea1. and Feature Editor Clotean Helm. THE in-L., Credit for the high quality of this year's Kernal goes to many people. Feature Editor Clotean Helm, Sports Editor lim Thomp- son, Make-up Editor Louise Whaley, and the members of an above-average staff each added his individual touch and ideas to make the paper what it was. The Hunter Printing Company handled the mechanical part of producing the Kemal, offering wider range of headlines and print which greatly improved the paper's appearance. De- spite repeated efforts of the staff, the size of the Kernal couldn't be increased because of financial reasons, except for special occasions. Long-remem- bered will be the special Christ- mas, April Fools Day, Easter, Graduation, and other editions that meant extra work on the part of the staff. The Activity Class was formed to teach undere classmen the fundamentals of iournalism and to prepare them to work as reporters on the Kernal. Members of the class are shown here preparing copy tor a Deadline. Feature Editor Clotean Helm selling Kernals with the assistance of Monte Brice: Business managers Hughes and Weddle look on.

Starting off our activities was the assembly which Cwith the help of most of the school's organizationsl previewed this Sierran. Also on our schedule were two dances, the Rival Romp and the Last League Leap. ln spite of these extracurricular activities, getting out the book remained utmost in importance, And what a time we had!

Donn Byrne frightl announced the honor and Rose Mario Chamberlin did the crowning. mostly by the hard-working people in the at- tendance office. Oh, I know that boy very well, but I just can't think of his name. And we had our differences, too. The only agreement on the cover was that it shouldn't be cardboard with a passionate pink color. And the division page title, Through the Swinging Doors, almost got killed and buried. Each member really had to do his share of work. And all of us know that this book would have been impossible without the hard work, the friendly criticisms, the untiring efforts of our favorite advisor, Mrs. Ioy Robinson.

They Struck Guld The l948 football season proved successful tor the Blade gridders who shared championship with the Delano Tigers in the curtain-raiser ot the newly torrned Southern San loaquin Valley Conference. A league crown was a new experience for the ten-year-old high school after having been shackled tor the last two years. In league competition the Varsity compiled a record ot tive wins and one loss, although they lost their two non-conference battles with the Santa Barbara Dons and the K. C. Drillers. As usual, the Drillers were favored to win, and tultilled expectations with a 34-6 winning score. According to CIF ruling, the Bengals ot Delano and the Blades Weren't permitted to play oft, and instead, a coin was flipped to decide which school pitted its pigskin savvy against Bakersfield. After conquering Delano, the Bakersfield Drillers went on to overthrow Madera tor the undisputed valley title.

All through the gridiron era the lighties were plagued with injuries, especially among the starters, and were faced with the task of coping against more expe- rienced clubs. During the fall the Daggers were able to snatch out only one victory from the win bag. While in comparative scores the Daggers' season doesn't seem too impressive, all the boys had their hearts in their Work and played good, hard football. We know that our Blade teams of future years will profit greatly from the experience these boys have gained. DAGGERS OPPONENTS 6 .........,, .,..... P orterville ...... 7 7 .....,.. .......

Probably few crystal gazers at the begin- n' g of the season dared to boast that the Blades w ld compete in the Semi-Valley finals, much less tfetch their imagination to prophesy an undefeated year in County cage competition. Captu g the offensive trophy with a new record of points in the third annual Kern County Basketball Carnival held at Taft was the starting point on a brilliant hoop career for '49's edition of the Blades. Along with a spotless slate of 8 straight wins in conference play, the Blades also tied down an unbeaten Paso Bobles quin- tet, which previously had coasted on a l2 game win spree, and outwitted a band of basketball aces underscored as the Delano Tigers. An epic which brought an inward glow of satisfaction to countless alumni, along with faithful student body rooters, was the prize of two definite ref BLADES OPPONENTS 38. ,, i...

On the memorable eve of March 4 under the roof of the Delano dribble-dorne, Coach Gil Bishop guided his charges into the Semi-Valley round opposing the Kings-Tulare monarchs, the Delano Tigers. This was the first time in the short existence of East High that the varsity had ad- vanced to the semiefinals. After a thrilling and gruelling conflict Delano won the nod to the Valley finale 42 to 38 over the measle-weakened Blades. , At the close of the season, the special events of handing out laurels for excelling performance commenced with the local newspapers electing lim Riley and Clyde Barbeau to first string berths on the county all-stars. Along with this esteemed honor, lim Riley, who plopped in enough ringers for lU3 digits and placed himself in the runnerup slot for top scoring for the county, was named to a starting position on the select All-Valley five.

Two other third year men who should be mainstays of the '50 crew are Bob Mc- lnerney, quarter miler, and Dewey Sceales, an exceptional pill-and-plate tosser.

An inquirer who how to hold u discus.t was well-informed never asked who won the 660, but rather what was David's Winning time. Another lad, rapidly climbing, both in height and in tame, is diminutive Paul Valdez, a Dagger vaulter who is good for l 1 feet and should be worth even .more in 1950.

The RUITIEITI BETICIUET lnaugurated a few years ago by Mrs. Blanche Diffenbaugh, the Roman Ban- quet has become an annual East High affair. To walk in during the middle of this Roman Banquet, one might think he had unwittingly stepped back into ancient Rome. That isn't where the guests are, but they certainly do as the Romans do - complete to costumes and the eating of food without any implements except what nature gave them. The idea behind the banquet is to interest the Latin stu- dents further in the language. That this is certainly done is shown by the enthusiasm of the students. Peter Loewenberq as Bacchus, the God of Wine, Narrator Marcia Io Drummond reads from her Roll ol the Deity and 'Q adds authentic color to the atiair.
