1lltbiratinu QIONSCIOUS of her never failing interest in all that

is a part of student life, the staff of the Raconteur dedicate the 1940 edition to Dean Grace V. Bird.

The endless requests for time, consideration, super­vision, detail . . .. with these forever harassing her she finds a moment to advise or assist whenever the need arises. To her, then, is this editi on dedicated. To her, too, is a silent dedicat ion f rom a ll that she touches. May this written appreciation help to voice the un­spoken gratitude of those who know her.

this Raconteur runs the conviction that campus activi­ties can be so conceived, so or­ganized, and so administered that they afford numerous real life situations in which students can learn through "purpose­ful and responsible doing" to live democratically ... My sin­cere appreciation goes to each individual member of the grad­uating class for 1939-40 for the part you have played to make this schoo r year both profi ta­ble and enjoyable .

Theron S. Taber

mrau nf llnmru mHE year 1939--1-0 has been

an intere sting one in the developm ent of Bakersfield Junior College ... Every\\·here junior colleges have continued to receive at tention because of their gro\Yth in number and population and because of their increa sing service to students and communities . . . Your junior college is among these and your yearbook good evi­dence that you have found here activities and experiences which have helped you to be the kinds of people colleges and communities want and need. Congraulations to the Racon­teur editor and staff for their presentation of the year 1939-40!

The result s of Board activities are manifested in a smooth-running per­sonnel ... Never before have Bakers­field Junior College po li cies cal led for such sharp delineation or received such efficient administrat ion as this year under the Board of Trustees ...

1fl' nrruntrn 'if2 EST season's record to be achieved by a Bakersfield Junior . College ~ squad of the last three years ... quote Mr. Leonard McKaig, local forensics coach, concerning this year's speech activities .. .

The first places were collected right off the bat in the first major tourna ­ment, that of the \'\'estern ssociation of Teachers of Speech, at Stockton during Thanksgiving week ... Florence McKaig and Edith Baker placed first in \i\Tomen's Extempore .. .

At the Pomona Im·itational Tournament January 11-13, Florence McKaig and Edith Baker heaped more laurels on themselves and their squad by placing second in \IV omen's Debate; and Kenneth Has tin placed in that same position in Men's Extempore ...

The bril liant squad was again victorious in debate at the College of Pacific Lower Division Tournament February 8-10, when Edith Baker and Ken­neth Hastin won seven out of eight rounds of men's debate, and two other teams won six of eight to tie for third place ...

At the L. A. C. C. Invitational February 29, March 1 and 2, Frances Thad­deus was second in Oratorical Declamation; three third places were also gathered by the squad . ..

In grand style the squad returned victorious from the Phi Rho Pi Tourney a t U. S. C., March 8 and 9, when \ \falter Le\Yis copped first place in Men's Extempore; Edith Baker in Women's Extempore; and Florence l\IcKaig in \Nomen's Oratory ... Kenneth Hastin and Walter Lewis placed second in Men's Debate.

Members of the '39-'40 squad were excellently coached by conservative, bespectacled Mr. McKaig and chaperoned many times by l\Iiss Julia Stankey ...

Following is the squad roll, from \\·hich the fi r st three names will be absent next year : Edith Baker, Henry Bianchi, Bill Hamilton, Kenneth Hastin, Walter Lewis, John Schutz, Frances Thaddeus, Truett Bunch, Jim Cham­bers, A lbert Lewis, Florence McKaig, Alice Saecker . ..

':iFf AVING been proclaimed the leading chapter of its kind in the nation, cr'- Phi Rho Pi, honorary fratemity for the college's masters of speech, is an excellent indication that B. ] . C. was tops in the realm of debate this year ...

And something novel about the o1·ganization: Kenneth Has tin, president of the loquacity lovers, was elected and held his office for six months before he was ever a member; was initiated at ceremonies along with other ''newies" at the end of said term ...
