EDITCRIAL Burbank I-li has been very successful in all her undertakings this year. l-ler athletic teams have been successful. l-ler growth has been phenomenal and her Student Body has put all of its activities over in great style. This success is mainly due to two thingsg first, the backing she has received from the townspeopleg and second, the increasing interest each individual mem- ber of the Student Body has shown in the l-ligh School's every endeavor. But these interests are from two distinctly different and Widely sep- arated standpoints-the view of the outsider, who may or may not have rela- tives attending the school. this making a very personal feeling, and the in- tensely intimate love an loyalty of the student' Which, only too soon ceases after graduation because of no definite connecting link with the once so loved High School. This connecting link is a good, live wire Alumni organization, that will weld the interests of the townspeople and students into a feeling of sincere brotherhood. The class of i909-I0 was Burbank l ligh's first graduating class. Each successive year has seen the roll of those who claim this school as their Alma Mater, lengthen until the list now comprises over two hundred and twenty-five names. Each year as Commencement time approaches in each Senior's heart, expressed or unexpressed, is the thought, After all, l'm sorry itis nearly over, but l'll come back often, to see the old crowd and the old school, and we'll have some more good times together just the samefi I So he leaves with larger expectations of trying some new phase of this old World's experience, yet with some sadness that his High School days are over. What happens? I-le comes back, once or twiceg he is developing, growing older and has so changed his life that the distance between himself and the students of Burbank l-li has increased immeasurably. l-lis visits grow fewer, farther apart, and then cease. It is not that he has forgotten the old school, but rather the lack of something definite to draw him back, and keep him in touch with its activities. ' Should this be? Should the graduates of B. I-l. S. be allowed to lose interest in their Alma Mater so easily? No! An alumni organization is the most crying need of Burbank l-ligh School today. So many graduates are still in the vicinity of Burbank that there is no reason why we should not have at once, a large membership, that would stand back of, with, and for Burbank Hi. To start the organization of such an association, we, the class of twenty-four, have elected Grace Reid Corresponding Secretary, with a fund at her disposal, so that interest may be accelerated through correspond- ence. When enough have shown their interest through correspondence, a meeting will be called and officers elected. Now, come on, gangg we have started. l-low many are willing to follow?
