VOLUME XII

-1942

Winding ahead of us lies a road more tortuous than we of this generation have ever before traveled. Many years of sacrifice and readjustment, many years of bewilderment stretch out before us. None of us knows what lies beyond the next curve; but in view of what we have already learned and appreciated ALONG THEW AY, none of us will shy from that hidden path of the future. All along the way there shall be strength in our resolve to preserve the American Way of Life.

9/Jedicalion Whether or not in actual combat, men from all over our

country are engaged in the second great war for the preser­vation of democracy. In recognition of the many sacrifices to come, we, the staff of the 1942 Raconteur, dedicate this edition to all those in military service for the protection of our world of tomorrow.

Superintendent Thomas L. Nelson

The future of American Democracy rests in the hands of today's genera­tion. If you have the vision and the will, our Democracy may be saved, but it will take the winning of the war plus a much harder and less spectacu­lar job after the war is won.

•

Dean Grace V. Bird The college year is at its close. For

many of you new and untried patterns of activity spread through the next months. To that we can say what a good Americ:m philosopher once said: "To be interested in the changing sea­sons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with Spring."

For all of us the true values of our way of life will persist- "the love of man for his comrade, the attraction of friend to friend, of city for city, of land for land."

Miss Florence McKinley Dean of Women

As the time has arrived for many of our men students to depart from the campus of the Bakersfield Junior College, we sincerely hope that the training given you has enabled you to master both the necessary skills of your chosen life's work and the problem of successfully solving some of the more complex prob­lems of our present civilization. The fu­ture of our nation depends upon your leadership in the days that are to come. The faculty and the administration of the Bakersfield Junior College have a very positive feeling that the members of the graduating class of 1942 will accept their r esponsibilities in a manner that will bring credit to all of our democratic in­stitutions.

The best of luck to each of you.

"The Security of a Democracy lies in the Intelligent Thinking and Action of its People." How can the women of Ba­kersfield Junior College meet this chal­lenge? You have at your disposal abundance of knowledge, accumulated through the centuries. Through your · study of history, economics, sociology and physical and biological sciences you have a basis for rightful thinking, pro­vided this knowledge is equally balanced with the desire and ability to understand human relationships. This lack of un­derstanding and Cisregard for the rights of others h11s been the cause of our pres­ent unhappiness.

There is a Chinese proverb wh!ch says, "Never carve rotten wood." See that you also build your way of life upon in­telligent and unselfish attitudes.

You can render your country a long range service, not for the duration alone but for "the peace that comes after" the war, by helping p~·e[;erve our heritage of intellectual, cultural and spiritual life so that your classmates now in service may return to the richness of life which they are now sacrificing for our safety.

Faced with the toughest season in Renegade foot­ball history, Coaches Frost, Beatty and Robesky were greeted by only twenty-seven players; but when the 'Gade strategy board got through ironing out the kinks, southland critics hailed Bakersfield's starting eleven as the saltiest junior college machine on the coast.

Four thousand four hundred and sixteen paid pig­skin fans, the largest home crowd of the season, filed through the turnstiles to watch Bakersfield battle Taft's Cougars to a 13 to 13 tie.

However, the Frostmen didn't find their real power until the last game of the season. In that en­counter they really went to town, blasting Long Beach's mighty Vikings 40 to 25. Other highlights of the season were a 30 to 0 Phoenix victory on the other side of the Colorado, a 19-0 romp over U. C. L.A. Reserves, and a 13-12 thriller over Comp­ton.

Cage Cougars! Parmenter flips in pivot shot against Taft.

Speed! Pruett burns a little speed as he completes a successful pass.

Scoring better than a point a minute, Co~h Frost's fast-stepping cagers won the respect and admiration of their conquerors as well as their victims.

In 18 contests the Rampaging Renegades dropped only six games. All season they camped at the door of the C. C. J. C. championship, but lady luck refused to let them in.

Their season was studded with sparkling plays arising out of a reck­less, fire-department brand of basketball. The Frostmen scored 838 points as compared with their opponents 671, an average of 46.5 points per game.

Leading Renegade scorer was Johnny Clark, who for the second con­secutive year, paced the Bakersfield attack. Clark rung up 215 points in seventeen games for an average of 12.7 points.

War, rubber rationing, and a dearth of material couldn't stop the Renegade trackmen. A tiny, streamlined war-size squad worked out under Coach Christen­sen's direction all season.

As usual, the interclass meet started the season. Wilbur Shellhammer's 18 points paved the way for an easy 86 to 58 sophomore victory.

Then war luck really took its toll on the Renegades. All dual meets were cancelled, leaving only the Kern Relays and the Conference meet, and a few practice engagements with Cap Haral­son's Drillers.

Bakersfield produced three Kern Relay champions. The medley team, composed of Gallon, Sallady, Martin, and Leddy, outclassed its rivals. Jimmy Benjamin won the high jump, and Vic Cerro took shot put honors.
