' Preparing for that new age is a problem in itself which we at Shatter High School are attempting to meet. The 1946 Laurion, dedicated to the world of tomorrow, here presents our formula for solving this problem. Corwfe-nfs INSPIRATION PREPARATION RECREATION .

The sycamore trees that surround the gym add to its beauty as well as being very useful. The broad acres of our school farm, one of the larg- est in the country, inspire our young farmers. Our campus also affords a quiet corner for inspirational meditation. Pago 7 Our Staff Helps Keeping us supplied with all we need, and taking care of the tiresome details, our oFfice staff provides us with a smoothly run- ning schedulep while our custo- dians maintain th'e pleasant sur- roundings so necessary for good - work. Mrs. Gerene Begley Mrs. Hazel Brockett Miss Lenora Songer Mr. Greer A Mr. Neuman Mr. Allen Mr. Janzen 5 rf' Our Leaders Show the Way Our student body has contributed whole- heartedly to each phase of the war effort dur- . ing the past four years. By each member doing his share, we have maintained an enviable record. Now, with foreign hostilities at an end, we find there still remains a tremendous amount of work to be done. We must constantly be look- ing ahead,' planning, and preparing to take our place in society for which we are training our- selves. The future of America depends upon our youth of today, and the stuhdents of Shafter High School will answer this peacetime chal- lenge with the same determination that has carried them to the front and over the top in the past.f' , This message from our principal, Jack Hill, new at Shafter High School this year, is typical , of the inspiration he has provided us in all phases of school activity. Principal Jack Hill Board of Trustees Q .Seldom seen on campus, but caught here as they visited school in a survey of postwar needs, our school trustees are heedful of our requirements in facilities, faculty, and buildings. In front are Mr. Phil Ohanneson and Mr. Chester Oneill, board members, and Mr. Hill, with Mr. Theron McCuen, district superintendent of schools in the center, and Mr. H. E. Woodworth, clerk of the Aboard, Mr. Theron Tabor, district superintendent in charge of business affairs and Mr. Nor- man Pollasky, district superintendent of buildings, standing in back. rag. 9 I Page I0 Jeanette Wheeler Bachelor of Arts, U.C.L.A.

This year the traditional banquet before the prom was abandoned in favor ofa more elaborate dance. A large number of boys in the class were active members of the FFA. For recreation they went out mostly for football and baseball. The girls sold hot dogs and sponsored a box social to increase the class treasury. They also joined G.A.A., Drama Club, and Horizon Club. ' Juniors study the mysteries of the chemical world.

Being a sociable group the girls ioined Horizon Club and took an active interest in the student body dances and G.A.A.

After conquering these first perplexing problems, they proved themselves enthusi- astic supporters of all school activities and energetic workers for the good of their own classes.

THE CO.RONATlON' BALL Creating a fairyland of make-believe, the Girls' Letter Club sponsored an especially suc- cessful Coronation Ball this year under the direction of Miss Liepman. Every girl aspires of being elected Campus Queen by her fellow students, accepting the floral crown from the student body president and leading the Coronation Waltz. Add to this the glamour of ' formal dress and a beautifully decorated gym, and you have Shafter's outstanding formal occasion of the year. , Dancers find themselves in fairyland Page 34 Queen Patricia Patricia Mettler, elect- ed by the student body, was Shatter High's Campus Queen for the year ot 1945-46.

And it certainly has been at Shafter. The season looked dim for our teams at first, but they improved so much they didn't look like the same teams. This fighting spirit was the heart of their success. HAIL TO THE COACHES The fighting spirit of our teams is a tribute to our coaches, Lowell Todd and Wesley Linda. With inexpe- rienced players and a limited supply of material, Shafter High School nevertheless turns out some good teams under their direction. The photographer posed them and caught them at work.

AND GET GLORY AND FAME Football teams are only successful when eleven men work as one for the success of the group. We learn that lesson, but at the same time win individual honors for out- standing achievement. The outstanding player and captain are selected every year by their teammates. 1 M Captain of the season was George Smith, chosen for his leadership and knowl- - edge of football. Outstanding player chosen for his abil- ity to play football was Herbert Spitzer. SCORES FOR '45 ff ' Home games. GENERAl5 Sept. 14-Wesco 34, Shatter 0 Oct. Sept. 21-McFarland 0, Shaffer 28 Oct.

The mighty Colonels, showing very promising players for the future, were the Sierra League champions of the B class. The Generals lost the title when they were snutifed out in two very close games. The Bucks made a good showing considering their lack of experience. has GENERALS TOP ROW: Marvin Dirkson, Bud Anderson, Don Gaede, Jerry Math- is, Gene Harless, Coach Todd.
