istriclz ' 'dences of oilg oil wells, h'l1 ' on every plain anywhere you look, you can see ev1 . Ogifmleehfiest hegvillyeldracdieldygfffcks, and general bustle-bustle greet your eye at every turn. Twenty-flve years ago none of this existed. Taft was a barren blank desert Witl10l1t 21 I'3ll1'03de 3 d1'0P of Waterilor EYES a sign of an oil well. In a short quarter of a century this fleld has grown and developed to be t e t 1 l o h s o o ' argest ln t e state, and wlth it in wealth and magnitude has grown our school system matching step Wltll 9 step, lmprovement with improvement. Despite the fact that new wells are .constantly being drlllefl and that the old well ' ' ' ' s are maintaining steady production, the oil supply 1S not VlSlbly decreasing This fael s 9 coupled with the indication that it will not do so for many years to come, establishes Taft as the center of one of the world's wealthiest oil fields. It is quite evident that without oil, Taft could not continue. The great majority of the poplllaiiell of the West Side are oil workers and those who depend upon oil for their livelihood. The great wealth buried in the land which fl 1 ' ' ' ' ' ous 1nto our district IS an unending stream which makes it possible to enjoy all the luxuries and conveniences which we take for d grante . Poorer districts are unable to afford the things we do. When Taft was just a railr d 'd' oa Sl 1ng and was known by a number, water was carried in by barrel from Buena Vista Lake for drilling purposes at the cost of one dollar per barrel. Later the Western Water Company formed a branch here which ' ' ' ' . now supplies the whole dlstrlct with water. Similarly .the San .loaquln Light and Power Company and the Telephone Company were established in the West Side- These and many more improvements have been dd d . . a e to our district. Without a doubt none of this would exist wlthout oil. Throu h th t ' ' . g a ever lncreaslng black stream pouring from the earth, we are able to afford our splendid school system, our civic im ro U . p vements, and our high standard of living Through o1l we are able to glVe each adult and each h'ld 9 . D c 1 the needed experience and education that are so valuable to anyone s l1f e. And through oil we are able to retain the r ' man e d ' espect and prestige that have been ours f0l' y y ars an , we hope, w1ll be ours for many more. We cannot fully realize the advant h ages t at we take so mu h f ' ' ' d 'tt'n0f the ever-present cause-oil-the weaver who moves his shuttl b C or granted wlthout fu St a ml I D the th 'll' ' 0 k d f t l ave rl mg story that will last a thousand lifetimes and bifnnalila with across our cleall Page 0 e 5 pplness to many following generations.
