Turmoil marks Shafter High Class of 1944 graduation
The Shafter High School senior class of 1944 faced war time turmoil in faculty, transport, and resources while crafting a year of home games, cantatas, dramatic productions, and a strong FFA showing. Notable achievements include six players picked for Bakersfield All Star, a Coronation Ball for Elsie Mettler, and Everest linked alumni.
