Work of destruction, soon to be Work of construction, had begun. Similar events, however, have hap- pened many times in the history of Taft High. The Conley School, as it used to be called, was a two-room building in South Taft, which boasted an enrollment of ten and a faculty of one, Mrs. Lavilla H. Campbell. When the enrollment reached eighteen in 1912, another teacher, Miss Ianie Michaels, was added to the staff. Because Taft was then small, the took place. An operetta, H.M. S.Pina- fore, was presented, with Mr. R. H. Scott, present head of the Commercial Department, playing the Captain. Pic- nics of the whole school were held at the San Bmidio Orange Ranchg and a comic opera, The Chimes of Nor- mandy, was presented in the Sun- shine Theater on three wintry nights. ln 1922 a new athletic field was duly dedicated when the Taft English soc- cer team defeated Bakersfield Scotch part of the Bakersfield High School, team and when later in the Yew the but in 1915 Conley becamea separate Valley track meet was here' That school and was placed on the accred- ited list by the University of California. By 1917 the school had progressed so far as to enter the beautiful new school buildings in North Taft: and on the evening of February 22, 1917, the school was dedicated. ln the early same year the Taft Iunior College was established under the provision of an act of the California legislature. By 1926 the junior college enrollment had increased from nineteen to thirty. In the past year over three hundred have twenties many interesting events been enrolled. The early Taft High Buildings, about which the students were so happy, have been only a beginning. As the student body grew, an auditorium with complete stage facilities was added. A science building equipped in every way for advanced scientific study, a domestic science building with an up-to-date cafe- teria, a machine shop, an aviation shop, a gymnasium, and a beautiful music building have taken their respective places on the campus. Now eight new class rooms With a large library and a study hall are being added, and a new dome is to take the place of the old, again giving back to the school its former beauty and dignity. 4
