Hardly had the by that edifice subsided, when we were pre- l93l, with our new and imposing gymnasium. looking forward to the construction of a new science building, made possible by the sale of bonds and P. W. A. funds. In l93l, a department of agriculture was rein- stated under the Smith-Hughes plan and is at present established in the manual arts building. At the conclusion of the school year of 1933, our beloved principal, Mr. Hill, who had guided the school so successfully through fourteen eventful years, retired from service. Untiringly energetic, unflinchingly honest, devoted alike to the perpet- uation of the arts and of porated those things into the school Dr. Ben R. Crandall, California Polytechnic of good discipline, he incor- the life and traditions of formerly President of the San Luis Obispo, was select- ed to succeed him. ln the two years that Dr. Crandall has been with us, he has accomplished a tremendous volume of Work. The six-hour day has been inaugurated, the curriculum enlarged, and new courses mapped out. Dr. Crandall has won the unbounded esteem and affection of the students and community. Our high school is also largely the result of the work of the many unselfish and public-spirited men who have served on its school boards. 'Notable among them has been Dr. E. S. Fogg, who retired from the board in 1931. The present board is composed of Sterling Giddings, alumnus and president, C. P. Morgan, Vere Bennett, P. S. Mason, and H. C. Devenney. l9l5Hl935--twenty years of progress! This year the enrollment passed the three hundred mark--a ten- fold increase in twenty years. The campus now covers thirty acres, the plant totals over a quarter of a million dollars in value. But we know progress can not be measured by these things alone. Wasco Union High School stands today a splendid symbol of a small community's continuous striving toward a richer and fuller life. f----A - -- Q-, ,-.iw A I I f 35 WASCONIAN Ben R.

After a Week of tutoring, the scrappy newcomers had their stripes W adjusted and their baby fur mussed before they pulled the male members of the class of '34 through the Water hole. 5 The Tigers of '35 soon got into pace and ran smoothly in the tracks of their predecessors. Promi- sing cats had their names placed in a frame in the front den. Some leaped just as easily into the game called Hdetention.n The long delayed Christmas party finally took place in April. ilt was the first event Of its kind held in the new gymnasium, so all of the members of the feline family attended. In their second year in the HTigers' Den,n the half grown cubs of '35 ruffled up the whiskers of the newest blessed events by drawing them through the water hole. Few noteworthy events occurred during the yearn Basketball was a favorite amusement of the male members of the band. The third year of the Tigers of '35 was an event- ful one. Football and public speaking were introduced, to the delight of both sexes. sOne small tigress, Jerry Bryson, made history by winning a meowing com- petition, commonly called an oratorical contest. The Tigers of '35 held a big pow-wow in den number five, and an old tradition was revived, After a fierce de- 'bate, Old Man Depression was formally buried. It was decided that the class would give a junior-senior banquet. The tigers had taken a mighty leap to land in the tracks of their-ancestors.. . The last year of the Tigers of '35 was the most interesting. A football championship Was won. Most memorable of all, however, was the fact that all the tigers, large and small, recognized the necessity of having an annual. Their wishes came true. This annual expresses their appreciation for the sym- pathetic aid of the faculty, and shows their sorrow at leaving the Wasco Union High School. -- -Il!!

The first big event on our program was the initi- ation of the new freshmen. The girls were dressed in typical freshman style, and the sophomere boys defeated the famous tuguof-wer across the mud-hole. Many sophomores participated in almost every form of athletics, track, besketbgll, end tennis. The B class Lmskethmll team had among its nenmers severpl sophomores who helped in the winning of the Sierri League championship. The G class also boasts of severxl sophomore members. Social activities were usually in the form of partiosu Several were given throughout the yenr, each being u huge success.

WASCONIAN '35 is-ui vvfxsiib GMS' cm Cube 'n September, l934, twelve girls enrolled in the Girls' Glee Club. Shortly after school began, the girls accepted an invitmticn to sing at the Eastern Star. Then, in October, the girls gave Q performance for the Women's Club in Taft. Following this, the club begin working on several numbers in preparation for their contribution to the Teachers' Institute Week in Bgkersfield. Credit is due tc the very herd Work of the directcr, Mrs. Hicks, and the girls for Q very excellent performance. During this time new members had gradually been coming in, so at the beginning of the second semester there were twenty-six girls in ill. In Februury, the club prepared H short Cantata, nThe Girden of Flcwers,H which it give three times. Then the girls prepared numbers for the Spring Music Festival, which wus to be held Merch 29. This was n . great experience for the students, becduse all the schools in Kern County, in 2 joint chdrus, sxng some masterpieces cf music written by Bach and Brahms. Wesco was very fortunate tc have Mr. John Smallmnn direct these numbers, as he is Q well-known music leader on the Pacific const. He wie issisted by Mr. Hurold Burt and his symphony orchestra of Bakersfield. I J 35 WASCONIAN lpespite the fact that our school has always been an unusally fine one, it was not complete until last year, when s band was organized under the direction of Mrs. Hicks. Since noon was the only available period in which everyone who wished could take band, it was necessary to use that hour. Throughout the year we played for basket- ball games, assemblies, play day, a P. T. A. program, and the Lost Hills commencement. On play day we appeared in uniform for the first time. This year it was planned to have both a junior and a senior band, taught in the first and the second periods respectively. With this arrangement, there were two students enrolled-for senior band, and a few more for the junior section. So the noon period was resumed for the instruction of the band. After hard work and many weeks of practice, we played at the following events: football and basketball games, play day, Community Theatre play, and the student body play. Thus a band was thoroughly established in the Wasco Union High School, and may it progress rapidly in the years to come. I ' I 1 WASCCDNIAN '35 1' I ' f ' 'Q ' llrli, STRITNQ1 LNDIQIVHELU, fx small but interested group could be found hard at Work each morning in the first period studying music arranged from the Masters for two violins, cello, and piano. These were Luelld Elmes, Clay Hadlock, Miriam Raven, end Carolyn Fidlar, with Hrs. Hicks directing. Good ensemble was early secured and the four played with distinction at the following events: the junior play, school and church Christmas programs, the Girl Reserves convontion in Bakersfield, the program honoring Shaftcr, the reciprocity luncheon of the Wesco Women's Club, Baccalaureate, and the music recital during commencement week. The voice department under Mrs. Ruby D. Hicks captured highest honors in,e contest sponsored by the California-Western Schocl Music Conference. The purpose of this contest was to select the best soluists from high schools, junior colleges, colleges, and universi- ties within the Conference urea, California, Nevada, Arizona, Philippine and Hawaiian Islands. , Preliminary auditions for the central section CKern, Tulare, Kings, Fresno, Madera, Merced, end Mariposa counties, were held in Fresno on February l7. Glen Bergthold won first place and Margaret Funk, third. Thelma Prather and E'Laine Andersen hadumade prepara- tion also, but illness prevented their participation. ' ' 4 y 35 WASCONfAN XXI, Pl-1 A H l'Y The first Hi-Y in the Wasco High School was organ- ized early in the school year 1933-34 with Lloyd Cromer as president. The interest and enthusiasm among the boys for such an institution led to the organization of a second Hi-Y during the first six- Weeks' period of 1934-35. Soon after the division, the original Hi-Y adopted the name of Alpha, while the new organization took the name Crusaders. Early this year, with Kenneth Little as our president, we initiated twelve fellows, and had an introduction banquet and afterwards an induction ceremony. The banquet was made possible by our mothers and by donations of the different members. With Russell Brown as our president and Mr. Court as our leader, We have been having an unusually good year. One outstanding event was the conference at Selma, Where seven members represented the Wasce nlpha Hi-Y. Dr. Crandall led us in study and discussion from the outline The Christ Way of Living, by Fred Putter. With such a successful past, We are looking for- ward to a much brighter future. WASCQNIAN y '35 I CRUSADIQ RS I-ll'Y Eburing this school year 1934-35 the Crusaders of the Hi-Y have been very active, both in social activ- ities and in athletics. Under the'leudership of their presidents, Ted Wedel and Loren Voth, they heve're- ligiously carried out the purpose of thefclub, namely, spiritual, intellectual, and physical instruction and development. ,' ' In spcrts the Crusaders can boast of taking three consecutive victories from their rivals,-the Alpha Hi-Y. An annual Older Boys' Conference of Southern California was held at Redlands. Although attending this conference meant Q rather long and costly journey, the very generous leader of the Crusaders,.Mr. Harring- ton, provided transportation facilities, and as a result, the Wasco,Hi-Y was well represented. ' The Crusaders were very successful financially this year. nt all basket ball and football games refreshments were sold by Y members. On April 3, Q Penny Carnival was held to raise money for n proposed Hi-Y cabin in the mountains. Many social evenings were enjoyed by the members,.including a very successful party, at which they entertiined the Girl Reserves lg W .-?-41-Y-is , 35 WASCONIAN T President Vice-pres Secretary Treosurer Historian Reporter GIRL RlfSlfI3.VIfS he officers for the past year were ' Fall A ' Ruth1Scott Margaret Wiebe Miriam Raven Jane Miller Carolyn Fidler Margaret Funk Springi -1 Margaret Wiebe Marjcry Ellenwood , 'Luelln Elmes June Miller Lillie Nerling .
