School History QQ? Last year Mr. Imhof came to Tehachapi to start our High School. He began by seeing the trustees who consented to let him teach, provided he could get a certain number of pupils interested, enough to start the school if one were provided for them. With quite a little effort on Mr. Imhof's part, the required number of pupils were found and the first successful High School in Tehachapi, opened its doors to the pupils in September, 1928. The building for the High School consisted of a common residential house. Mr. Imhof and one other teacher, Miss Jones, completed the members of the faculty. Considering the building for the high school and the many disadvan- tages to contend with by both teachers, and students, the High School was very successful, enough so to bring the idea of a real school before the people. Much of the credit for bringing this idea into reality, must be given to Mr. Imhof, because it was on account of the hard work on his part to convince the people that we needed a high school, here in Tehachapi, that the school was built. Bonds were voted on and carried by enough majority in favor to make building of the school possible. Contracts were let and the fine school that We now have was ready for business by the beginning of this school termg thus adding a great asset to Tehachapi. 1 sic:-rr f h .- W.

Present Board of Trustees M. A. GARR1soN ED. H. MCDANIEL W. R. POWERS R. F. GRIFFIN FRANK BRITE To the trusteesfof the Tehachapi Valley Union High School District, both past and present, we owe a great debt of gratitude. It was largely due to the untiring work of the first board of trustees that We owe the success of our school. This board, composed of W. L. Davis, Pres., Frank A. Wolfskill, Secty., Hazel P. Culley, Ed. H. McDaniel, and R. F. Griffin, gave their time freely to make possible our school. On the present board of trustees we have two of the original members: Ed. H. McDaniel and R. F. Griffin. The other members are W. R. Powers, M. A. Garrison, and Frank Brite. Leonard T. Jenkins also served on the board'for part of last term. To the 'present board we also owe a great deal because it was due to the r untiring work and enthusiasm that our school was kept going. After one bond proposal had failed, they brought before the people another one, and convinced them that it must be put over. This bond proposal carried by a'large majority. So we have nothing further to worry aboutg our school is bound to increase every year in the future, as it has this last one. NINE .. .-..n .1353 ,fn Q Y v H fi i i f .
