Each in his or her own field has helped us not only to prepare for the years ahead but also to get the most out of each school day. They have taught us not only the lessons in books, illustrated with a compass or a ruler, a crude drawing or examples. but an indefinite number of lessons that become most valuable to us in the years to come. They have taught us how to get along with people, how to make and keep friends. By their fine example we see the value of decent living that will make us the good citizens of tomorrow that they are today. lVe hope that the pages of this book will bring back memories in the years to come: of the brighter side of their teaching careers. ED. 4 I I I As another school year comes to a close it is natural that our thoughts should carry us back through the months, pausing here and there through the halls of memory to gaze upon our immortal footprints in the sands of time. Traditional things are deeply impressed in the sands. for many feet have trod them. How could we forget the balls, proms, spring and Christmas concerts, the athletic events and banquets, graduation--these things, along with our never-ceasing aca- demic program combine to give us those lasting memories we too soon recall as school davsf' Our Tinas Coma staff has striven to show you a glimpse of your high school career-a bit of your life-in a few pages of pictures and words. Y'Ve have worked hard and we sincerely hope our efforts have not been in vain. NVe would like to give special thanks to our advisor, Mr. Lloyd, for being a constant resource of knowledge and aid to back us up at all times. Our thanks extend also to Mr. Case and other members of the faculty for their cooperation. and also to several of the senior boys who have been so generous in the lending of their gas-fed vehicles on our never-ending search for advertisement subscribers. That this book will recall pleasant thoughts to you for veals to come is our fondest hope as we send to the presses your 1949 edition of TIN.-XS COMA. 5 6 vlminiatrat E ion sg Gia ex V 4 E ' -. 1 Y Vern V.

Fresh from Boys' Slate, Bill contemplates his future as he works diligently at the present to give B.E.H.S. a successful student body leadership. Active in other organizations, he may bc seen working on a speech in debate, meeting with the boys in F.F.A., and always willing and ready to lend a helping hand in Thespians or class plans. Thus we pay a tribute to Bill Egbert, 1948-1949's A.S.B. President. I2 1 4 g XVith Bill Egbert acting as president, Ken Thomas as vice-president, and the offices of secretary and treasurer being filled by Evelynne Neely and Kay Anderson, the directors of the Associated Student Body of Burlington-Edison High School have brought to a close another successful year. Among their achievements that of their commendable assembly conduct ranks high. The eighth graders have added their voices to our cheering section, and theirs blend with ours in our common support of B.E.H.S. Representing Burlington at the Student Conference at the University ol Xflfashington were Evelynne Neely and Mary Orbeck. , These are the leaders of today. Some of them will be your leaders ol tomor- row. To them we say, Good luck! Left to right, first row: H. Sawyer, B. Egbert, K. Thomas, E. Neely, Anderson, B. Miller, M. Or beck: A. Olson, M. Martin.

Graham. rom the Seniors Three years of our school life have passed, and now in our fourth and last year. we're ready to take on the important duties as prideful leaders of our school. On December 10 the annual Senior Ball was held at the Chuckanut Shell. The theme, Once in a Blue Moon, was carried out with lovely decorations of blue and silver. . The next important event was the Senior Class Play, with the all-senior cast giving a superb performance. Class officers for the year were: Bob Olson, presidentg Gene Overway, vice- presidentg Lillie Smith, secretary-treasurerg and Don Graham, sergeant-at-arms. Mary Orbeck and jim Sullivan were elected as class representatives. XfVith these leaders the class very successfully held many events of the year. At the annual football banquet, Gene Overway was chosen Inspirational Player. while Melvin Peth was given the title of Honorary Captain. Norman Lawson was the outstanding linesman of the year. Thirteen senior lettermen were given wool jackets by the Chamber of Commerce. As this last year of high school comes to a close we begin to realize the fact that we are no longer carefree high school students, but young men and women filled with enthusiasm to start out in the world. YVe feel we are now ready to follow the pattern of our future which has been laid for us during these past four years.

Dear Folks: We thought you might be interested to know what your friends from the class of '49 are doing so we will take this opportunity to tell you about them. First of all, you will probably be surprised to learn that one of our more bashful boys is now a famous broadway star playing in the stage play Omlet . He is none other than Jim Sullivan. Taking the lead opposite him is Beautiful Liv, known to you as Elizabeth Phinney. Not long ago we received a letter from Kay Anderson, now editor af the New York Times. She sent us some copies of her paper. Some of the articles were a kill. One item of local interest was about movie star Harry Stakkestad. It said that he was being arrested on bigamy charges. Both of his wives finally caught up with him. One turned out to be Natalie Jordon. Another item of interest was the opening of the Heathers and Graham Burlesque Theatre. On stage for the first night was Dixie Miles, who is now taking the place of the late Gypsy Rose Lee. Another attraction for the evening was a male quartet, made up of Norm Lawson, Gene Overway, Dick Coons, and Wick Peth. They call themselves The Four Roses . In small print we saw that the ushers for the evening were Shirley May and Irene Mann. By the way, have you noticed the bill boards lately? If you'll notice, the Copenhagen Co. is offering an autographed picture of Don Kerr with every box. Donna Thramer is also posing for the bill boards, only she is working for a famous toothpaste company. We always knew she had pretty teeth. I suppose you already know that Eleanore Reed and Norma Rodewald are working as cigarette girls at the one-and-only Stork Club. Nancy Loving also seems to be doing all right as hat-check at the same place. Not long ago the Wrangling Bros. Circus was in town. It is now owned and operated by Charlie Splain and Don N eilsen. It seems that some of our friends are working for them. The lady wrestler turned out to be Marlene Nelson, and by nosing around we found out that the bearded lady was Edna McBee. In one tent we found the fortune teller and magician, Bill Von Allmen. His helper was his wife, Rose Marie Dale. Bill looked into his crystal ball and told us about some of our friends. He seemed to think that Nancy Lawson was now an art student in France, and that Carole Noble was married and the mother of two sets of twins. Have you heard about either of them? Did you find out any more about Mary Orbeck and her Frizzy Wave Shoppe ? We were glad to hear she is doing such a thriving business. When did Philip Bell buy out the Bell Telephone Company, or did he just in- herit it? While strolling through town the other day, we decided to visit a few of our friends' places. We called first at the Soul Saver Tabernacle where the Evangelist Preacher, Dean Adkins, had the sermon for the evening. In the first pew sat his wife, Lucille Arians, and their five little boys. Z7 After the inspiring sermon, we walked farther down the street where we saw a'blind man playing an accordion. It was Kenny Skogman. His helper, Larry Gear, was holding a tin cup and selling pencils. We felt sorry for them so of course we bought a few pencils. On the outskirts of town we passed a tent. We later found out it was the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Olson, fLi1 Smithl. We were told that the Olson Lumber Co. had gone broke. As we crossed the street we were almost knocked down by a taxi. You might guess that its driver was Ray Shelley. Weren't you surprised when Bill Swanland won the election as mayor of New York? No wonder he won, with such 'campaign managers as Dick Paulson and Leland Schnell. Bob Cavanaugh seems to be doing all right as bar tender in the Egbert and McMillan Sa- loon, business seems to be booming since they put in the television set. We were glad to hear about some of our friends in your community. Especially that Carroll Heiner had at last become a doctor. She used to study so hard. I didn't think that Evelyne Neely and James Allan would ever get married. Remember their first date? It was the Senior Ball of 1948. We were awfully sorry to hear that Betty Blanton had lost her voice and can't sing any more. Say, were you just kidding when you said that Beryl Dene Abel was married for the seventh time the other day, to Charlie Kermen? We thought it was nice that Carmen Brandstrom and Louise Sauer finally won the skating cham- pionship of the Northwwt. Are Sue Nelson and Peggy Bentz really presidents of the Lonely Hearts Club? Did Lottie Routon and Jeanne Denis ever buy out that bottling works? I notice in t-his evening's paper that the great wrestler Bill Bessner is in town. His manager is Walter Jewett. It s rather funny, I always thought it would be the other way around. I also notice in a news item that Nancilou Seay and Jo Aldine Darnell finally had a disagreement. It seems that both wanted to get married to the famous Einstien of this day, Don Norris. You'll probably laugh when I tell you that Dolores DeAtly and Marilyn Eglekrout are now working as modelsg Dolores posing as a housewife for electric stove ads, while Marilyn poses for Lucky Strike cigarettes. Loyola Barrett and her husband James Mc- Kinnon now take the part of Fibber McGee and Molly on the radio. Their sponsor is the Presta Blanca Wine Co. owned by Mike Neal. Neva Aarstad does the announcing for their show, while her husband Lyle Wesen stays home with the children. LeRoy Flick and Clara Stierlen are also on the radio. They count nickles for the Old Ladies Home Pro- gram. Dwaine Brady, I hear, is still going to school at Burlington. I guess he's still trying to get enough credits to graduate. Well, folks, I guess that's about all the news for now. Let's hope we can all get to- gether and talk over old times before too many years go by. We are yours, The Class of 1949 Senior: Staff 25 Left to right: K. Thomas, L. Fosness, B. Miller,g Camera Shy: D. Neely. . rom fke funiors Under the helpful guidance of our advisors, Mr. Lalson and Mrs. Harnden, the class of '50 had a very good year. Our class officers were Kenneth Thomas. presidentg Bruce Miller, vice-presidentg Lois Forness, secretary-treasurerg and Dan Neely, sergeant-at-arms. To represent us at the student council meetings, we chose Hattie Sawyer as girls' representative and Bill Ingalsbe as boys' repre- senative. X'Ve were well represented in school activities with several class members on the athletic teams, two of our girls being song leaders, and several classmates serving on the staffs of the Tinas Coma and the Blue and Gold. In the spring we held the annual Junior Prom in honor of the graduating seniors. It was a gala affair, well put on, and enjoyed by everyone. As we look to the future, we will always retain the memories of our Junior year. 25 M. Dana Ratfield G. Vaughn D. Hamilton C. Olson J. Jone D. Hiltz M. Carlson A. Benson D. Connor C. Bent J.

In the lirst class meeting we chose Lyle Kirkby, president: Fay Brunz, vice-presidentg Lucy Sakuma, secretary-treasurerg and Beverly Miller and Joe Benston, class rep- resentatives. The first activity of the year for the sophomores was the annual initiation for the freshmen. The sophomores gave a gala sock dance and the freshmen were wonderful sports. Everyone had a grand time. The class has been quite active. Several athletic sophomores made the first teams in basketball and football. The rest of the class have sold confections at games and have done many of the not-so-honorary tasks. The class is also well represented in the different clubs. The advisors were Mr. Norman and Mr. Stahl. The class thanks them for doing a wonderful job. 29 lst Row, L. to R.: B. Armstrong, G. Balch, Barlean, C. Becker, B. Brown, Ll. Brown, F.

So the class of some seventy freshmen took their initiation in its stride. Everyone passed with flying colors. just waiting until their turn next year. The freshman class was very well represented in the various activities of the school. Many outstanding boys and girls have been selected to take part in the different organizations and clubs. They have plenty of school spirit and will go places in future years. Roger Hulbush, presidentg Don Miller, vice-presidentg Shiela Holt, secretary- treasurerg Jerry Smith, sergeant-at-armsg all these made up our list of class of- ficeis. Lloyd Cook and Arlene Olson were representatives to the student council. Miss Greenlee and Mr. Olmsted served as advisols. 53 i lst Row, L. to R.: D. Albee, R. Attridge, F. Bcnston, B. Campbell, M.

There was no doubt about it, these eighth graders were going to be noticed. This we found out was very true. They have two very nice teachers: Mr. Roeber and Mrs. Goodrich. The graders are really in things. They have two representatives on the student council. They have a club of their own which is called the Show and Tell. The Blue and Gold has given quite a bit of space to these up-and-coming gradeis. The eighth grade has been allowed to yell in our assemblies, and they really yell! The eighth, graders like being in our building very inuch and are looking forward to becoming freshmen next year. 37 lst Row, L. to R.: G. Allan, S. Ambers, P. Arntzen, R. Bates, L. Becker, D.

Youive seen them at our pep rallies, our games, at concerts here and there. X . Maybe you've seen the new swing band, too, composed of Carol Noble, Lottie Routon, Carole Stew- art, and Mr. Hughes. They're really hot! . . . and speaking of Carol Noble, she's the band president. Another prominent member of the Band is Donna Martinson, who was selected to attend the North- west Music Educators' Conference in Portland. To quote Mr. Huges in regard to the band. It's comin' along . . Vtfe think so! I K . . . Chorus ' lVith Mr. Hughes directing the musical side of choral life, and Pres. Norm Lawson directing the business affairs of the organization, Burlington'5 Chorus really went to town, singin' all the way. They started the ball rolling with a get-to-gether party at Calm0r's Cove on Lake Saiuish, and helping to push it was the Christmas Concert, the MuSiC Festival at Lyilden, and the annual Spring Concert. They received an excellent rating in the contest 31 Lylldell l00- 3136531 11112111000 C0111- posed of Nancy Lawson, Norman Lawson, Lillie Smith and Dick Coons donned their night shirts and gowns to sing The Night Before Christmas , and Norm got to go the Northwest Music Confer- ence, too. along with Kenneth Thomas. Thinking over tl1e past year's performances, we'VC just gOt t0 admit that the Chorus is Co1nin' along, too. . . . Glee Club The Glee Club has come into its own this year with Mr. Hughes and his little '-band of singers in the fourth period class. Lottie Routon was president, and she tells us that the purpose of the club is to learn to read music better, and to develop music interest. VVhatever it is, it's alright with us, as any- one will testify who saw them in the Christmas Concert. . . . Put them all together we have . . . - MUSIC! Glorious music . . . resounding from the halls of B. E. H. S. lfVe think our director. Mr. Hughes, is vtry able, and we hope to have him back next. year to carry on a full and active program to the tune 'of music. . And oh. we almost forgot to tell you, Burlington-Edison played host to the annual Northwest solo contest held here May 7. Burlington's really marching along . . . p Q 44 ' 4.- . . Senior Play After several unsuccessful attempts to get started and a date or two changed the senior play cast fin- ally got together to work on their play, The Brain Storm. The play is about a young college boy, X'Villoughby, and his conscience, Inner Mfilly. You may know i'Villoughby as Dick Paulson, and Inner Mfilly usually goes by the name of Nancy Lawson. The play was given April 22, in the high school auditorium. The cast enjoyed the practices and with the help of the coach, Mrs. Goodrich, The Brain Storm was a big success. , . . . All High Play Cross My Heart was presented in the high school auditorium Dec. 3. Carrying the romantic leads were Bob Shelley and Beverly Miller. The story revolves around the two youngsters who decide that they tion't want to be tied to their mother's apron strings any longer. The cast had a lot of fun giving the play and after a successful performance they celebrated at Hope Island Inn. One interesting thing about the play cast is their general inexperience behind the footlights, which only adds to the applause we all give their success. . .h . Thespians With a year of experience behind them, the Thespians were able to enjoy a full, active year in '48-9. The presidency was filled by a senior you have seen often on the stage, Bill VonAllmen. Other officers include Vice-President Bill Lead and Secretary Carol Noble. An outstanding affair of thebyear was a trip to Seattle to see Mrs. Carlisle at the Showboat Thea- ter. Other projects were initiations, meetings, and a series of one act plays. You all remember i'Under- tow. High Mfindowf' Minor Miracle, and the excellent casts that put them on. 'Thespians is a national organization and B. E. H. S. is proud to be a member of such a fine group. . . Behind the Footlights I, b As the curtain goes up a certain murmur of expectancy rumbles through the crowd. The scene is gay . . . the stage is gay. The characters suddenly be some dramatic . . . the stage is dramatic. The mood is achieved by lowering the lights, darkening the colors . . . maybe a spotlight or two. We take these changes for granted, but behind the scenes, countless dynamos of energy are being used to set the stage and give the actors every opportunity to portray their roles. Make-up artists play their part, too. So do the directors . . . the prompters, etc. D To them we pay a tribute. Mrs. Goodrich, our drama director, and Mr. Hughes, our stage manager, have played important roles in 1948-49's dramatic productions. Larry Gear, Vifalter Jewett, Clifford Marcoe, and Mike Neal deserve credit also as members of the stage crew. 45 Left to right: L. Smith. N. Lawson. B. Bessner, C. Routon, L. Sauer, P. Bentz, S.

This group of forty boys elected a popular senior, Bob Olson, as president, and three other well-known school leaders: -lack Theissen, vice-president: Bob Green, secretaryg and Bill Ingalsbe, treasurer. The boys did a remarkable job of parking cars. handling adniissionitickets, concessions. and everyday jobs about school. This year's project received popular approval.

Girfs ' Cfuln The Burlington-Edison High School's Girls' Club of 1948 and '49 was led by Nancy Loving, the president. Other officers were Barbara Fritsch, vice- presidentg Mary Urbcck, treasurerg and Beverly Miller, secretary. Mrs. Olden- bcrg was again their advisor. The Girls' Club was active, as usual, this year. They sponsored mixers and sold concessions at games. The girls together with the Boys' Club took a program to the Old Folks' Home. They served the annual football banquet, December 9, 19-18. It was very successlful and was enjoyed by all. The girls co-operated with the advisor very well. The club was a success this year and everyone was proud to belong. -48 i Boys' CM? The Boys' Club of Burlington-Edison High School had a bang-up year with Mr. Larsen as advisor: Gene Overway as presideutg Bill Ingalsbe as vice-presidentg Jim Allen as secretary-treasurerg and X'Valter jewett as sargeant-at-arms. The first project which was carried on by the Boys' Club was the purchasing of additional lights for the football field. To finance this project every boy was assessed one dollar. Again this year the Boys' Club joined forces with the Girls' Club and took a program to the Old Folks' Home. This has been an annual affair for several years. As we come to the close of another year, the officers, advisors, and nienibers feel that they have done their best to make this year a successful one. Inset, left to right: G. Ovcrway, Mr. Larson.

Among other activities were night meetings with parties afterward, potluck dinners, one day and one evening Christmas party, cake sales-aclnoon, ,advertising F.H.A. week, preparing the F.F.A. banquet on November 3rd, and sending sew- ing notions to a home economics class in Germany. 't The members think that F.H.A. is one of the best clubs in the school and are proud of it. 50 9 lst Row, L. to R.: -I. Lydon, B. Swanland, R. Jensen, B. Omdal, B. Benson, D.

Burlington delegates to the National F.F.A. Convention was Arnold Benson. To finance this trip, the F.F.A. bought a shotgun which was raffled off. They also formed a parliamentary procedure team in conducting meetings. Members of this team were Bill Swanland, Arnold Benson, Gary McMillan, Ray Jensen, Boyd Omdal, and Bill Egbert. The team gave an exhibition before the Burl- ington Lion's Club and the Allen Grange. They formed a judging team that judged at several fairs and cattle and poultry exhibitions. Their advisor, Mr. VVills, has helped them with their activities and with his aid they have successfully conducted a prosperous year. 51 First row, left to right: F. Brunz, B Fritsch, K. Anderson. E.

During the school year I9-L8-1949, the school's academic organization, the Torch Club, was made up ol 35 members. The membership' was composed of 15 seniors, 12 juniors. and S sophomores. Heading the club as officers were Lyle X'Vesen, presidentg Kenneth Skogman. vice-presidentg and Carrol Heiner, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Lloyd acted as ad- visor for the club. On November 9, 1948, the Torch initiation was held during the day with the initiates coming dressed as some character in history or literature. At the assembly, the initiates had to recite twenty lines from some classical poem in from of the student body. The Torch pins were also presented at that time by Mr. Lloyd. That night the annual banquet for the members and the initiates was held. The purpose of the Torch Club is to uphold and promote high scholastic standards and good school citizenship at all times. l 52 Aarstad, D. Thranier, L. Sauer, B.

No, they're not learning to spell, it's just the peppy Pep Club supported by the rest of the student body, yelling one of the school yells. This year we have limited our club to forty members chosen from our more enthusiastic junior and senior girls. Each one participates in our drills, which are put on for some of our games. President Betty Blanton, assisted by Vice-President Marlys Slonecker, Secre- tary Carole Stewert, and Treasurer Lottie Routon, have done a swell job of lead- ing our activities. Connnittees have been active in selling confections at the football and bas- ketball ganies to raise funds for the club's use.

In performing the drills they perfected many new and outstanding maneu- vers. Not only did they have new drills this yearg they also had a number of card tricks. To accomplish these drills the girls stayed after school many nights to practice. Due to unfortunate circumstances they were able to drill at only one foot- ball gzune, but all was not lost, for they were able to put their drills to good use during basketball season. Our three excellent majorettes were Marlene Nelson, Darlene Peth, and Norma Rodewald. 55 cmcldal 4 fha! First row, left to right: YV.. Kuller, C. Olson, K. Skognian, G. Splain. AI. Jones, C.

TOO 771 A new organization has taken its rightful place among our many clubs here at B. E. H. S. Its name: the Kandid Kaniera Klub. It was the first year for this club, but they were active and will continue to be more so in years to come. To belong to the club one merely has to be a nieniber of the photography class and have a real interest in the subject. Mr. Gurney, their advisor, took the class on field trips. One of their most inter- esting trips was to Mt. Baker, where they took advantage of the beautiful scenery. The purpose of the Kandid Kaniera Klub is to promote further interest in tak- ing and developing pictures. The club started on the right foot by electing Bill VonAlhnen as president, Dolores DeAtley as vice-president, and Marilyn Egelkrout as secretary-treasurer. Mr. Gurney did a wonderful job as advisor. 56 adm D. Martinson. B. Egbert, Mr.' Lloyd, B. Green, F. Brunz. . From tlzeir Notes Should the United Nations be revised into a Federal lvorld Government? That was the topic for national debate throughout the high schools of America. Taking their stand for B. E. H. S. on the affinnative were Donna Martinson and Bob Green. The negative side boasted Fay Brunz and Bill Egbert. Their first experience in debate took them to the district tournament at Mount Vernon. Each team won one out of three. In the final district tournament at Bell- ingham, B. E. H. S. entered a third teamg Hattie Sawyer and Bill Swanland. Mr. Lloyd, their able advisor, thinks the teams did very well for their first year and we are all inclined to agree. Next year Burlington can really get its hat in the ring with Donna, Bob, Fay, and Hattie coming back for another battle of words. 57 Left to right: C. Olson, B. Shelley, K. Anderson, B. Fritsch, D.

The chances for the team looked very dark the first few turnouts of the forty- eight season. X'Ve had only one man Ovick Pethj returning from last year's start- ing lineup. Nevertheless, by much hard work and many tough practices Coach Day formed a much better team than was expected. The team went through the season with six victories and only four losses. Gene Overway, a transfer from Auburn, and lfVick Peth sparked the team throughout the season. Overway was placed on the All-Northwest first team and Peth and Lawson placed on the second team. Lawson was chosen outstanding linesman for the season. T661 WZ The turnout for the second team this year was a lot smaller in number than last, although the opposite was true in size and might. The reduction in number was due to the newly formed frosh team which used several boys who otherwise might have played on the second team. Some of the boys who showed up very strongly were: End, Bill Bensong Guard, Dick NVallaceg Tackle, Vince V ercoeg Halfbacks, Larry Albee and D. Bendsten. One boy who played on all three teams this year was Don Miller. Frosfa Team The Frosh Football Team, a new feature at B. E. H. S., is made up of both the eighth and ninth gradels. The freshman team kept coach Norm Roeber more than busy showing the boys for the first time in their lives the fundamentals of tackle football. Although Anacortes was the only victory in the six game sched- ule, the younger boys of B. E. H. S. proved they had lots of spunk and fire, and can really scrap when the going gets tough. Don Miller, jerry Smith, and Guy Bitting proved to be the spark plugs of the B. E. H. S. Scrappers. ffonorary Captain fnsp1'rqf1'onaf Pfayer ana? Coac 1 Pictured with Coach joe Day are Inspirational Player, Gene Overway. and Honorary Captain, Yvick Peth. These two boys are the ones that drove across almost all of the touchdowns for B. E. H. S. The two sparksters kept so close in points scored for the season that they soon became known to their teammates as the touchdown twins. difl w W N377 1 Z 861771 The prospects for our basketball team looked quite bright at the beginning of the '48-'49 season. There were four returning lettermen out for the first prac- tices. But unfortunately, after the first two games, one of the returning lettermen, Gene Overway, was put out for the l'CSl of the season with a sprained back. The next game found another letterman, Gary McMillen, watching from the bench with a broken ankle. Although the team had lost two of the scrappiest boys, they still played every game with spark and detennination. The season ended with the starting line-up of juniors and sophomores. Mfe can look forward to an outstanding team next year, as all but two of the eleven men on the first string at the end of the season were either juniors or sophomores. Tea 171 Looking over the lineup for this year's B team it is easily seen there will be lots of support for next year's Varsity Squad. Some of the boys from this group we expect to see playing a lot of ball on the first string are--Lyle Kirkby, Dick l'Vallace, Bill Benson, Bruce Nevitt, and Frank Jewett. Backing these boys and the boys that played on the A squad this year will be-Marvin Fisher, jack An- derson, Vincent Vercoe, Don Grande, J. D. Bendsten and possibly one or two outstanding freshmen. YV ith the combined power of these boys and the returning lettermen from A squad we can expect to see some outstanding demonstrations of ball handling next year. VVe are confident that if the student body continues to be loyal and to support its team in 1949 and '50 the boys will bring home thc victories. TOSZZ T9 C1 ffl The Freshman team is a newl o 'anized team this 'ear. Under the able coach- . V FS. 7 . . in ' of Ken McAule ' the f have established a ver' outstanding record, havin won Q 8 l 5 5 D 8 eight out of ten games. Starting for the team this year were Duane Price, Dave Archer, Don Miller, Everett Martram, joe Thramer and Roger Hulbush. You are sure to hear more about the brand of basketball these boys play during the next three years, be- cause they certainly are capable of handling a basketball. Honorary Captain Inspirational Pfayer ana! Coac Inspirational player, Gary McMillen, and honorary captain, jack Thiessen, were elected at the end of the year to their respective positions by their teammates and Coach john Stahl. This is one of the very few times a junior has been awarded such an honor as Honorary Captain but it was well earned. Al- though injured after the first. few games of the season, and unable to get back into play until the last game, Gary was nevertheless elected to the position of In- spiration Player. 65 Top row, lcft to right: D.

'ga ' On taking down the boxing gloves and getting things started for the '49 season, Coach Norm Roeber was confronted with a host of inexperienced but de- termined boxers. Although they didn't look too promf ising, winning one, losing three, and taking one draw, they did show lots of fight and fire. Next year should be a good year for the boxing team, with all the lettertnen but Bill Heathers returning. Two boys that were probably the best in the county at their weight this year, and will be back next year are Arn- old Richter, who won three and fought one to a draw, and Don Bentz, who won two and also rel ceived a draw. A couple of other boys who really kept up the spirit and kept the team in there were Gerald YanAllen and Tom Galbraith. Under the direction of Coach Dick Van Zandt, the B. IE. H. S. Grunt and Groan Boys went through a fairly successful season, losing two mat meets, win- ning two, and fighting two to a draw. The Tigermen went through tl1e season with last year's lettermen coming through in some fine matches, and with some inexperienced new fighters, also turning in good jobs as wrestlers. Some of the newcomers who showed up quite well were Don Sadler, and Ernie Dahl. Larry Albee, another newcomer, was coming along fine un- til benched by injuries. Lettermen who won the maj- ority of their matches were XN'ick Peth, Ken Coons, and Bob Shelley. ' Z' 66 Baseball is experiencing one of the largest turn- outs in several yeats. The interest seems to be espe- cially high this season. Although the batting aver- afe for games won and lost is not too high, the en- thusiasm is 100131. Because of the interest shown by underclassmen we have reason to believe that base- . ball is going to increase in importance at B. E. H. S. i within the next few years. I This iyear's men of speed show great possibilities lor the coming season. As this book goes to press the team has won two and lost two meets. The prospects lor coming years also look exceptionally good as only three of the track men are graduating this year. Some of the boys that will be outstanding this year are Ed Maynard. who runs the 100 yd. dash, the 220, and is jumping over 20 feet in the broad jump. Ed is ta junior. Don Sadler, a sophomore, is also running a very last mile. Bill Benson and Gerald Reincrt are both jumping a strong 5 ft. 9 in. in the high jump. Gerald is a junior, and Bill a sophomore. 24446466 First row, left to right: Coach Ken McCauley. A. Ben son, D. Rasar, E. Maynard, L. Kirkby, M. Peth. L. Yves en, -I. Thramer, R. Hulbush.

Cheering for the home team 11as been led this year by Lillie Smith, Buddy Busha, and Carol Noble. Clad in their yell-leading sweaters and blue pleated skirts for the football season, and cute blue and gold dresses for the basketball fans, it is they who have had led our pep section with cheering applauce through rain or shine. Pep assemblies have been thankful for their never-ceasing effort to support and cheer on our loyal athletic teams. A laurel on the crown of their success is the fact that Burlington won first place in sportsmanship for the 1948 football season. I5 Rahs for our yell- leaders! , r Launching on an active program in girls' sports with Miss Greenlee as the skipper, the 'Atom-boys got a chance to really fling them- selves around in tumbling, swimming. bowling, and playing every imaginable kind of athletic game. Tuesday nights found girls turning out for soccer, then volleyball, and later on, basket- ball and baseball. The junior and senior girls. who have heretofore been omitted in the girls' P. E. program, have had a class to themselves sixth period in which to develop their athletic ambitions. S Juniors, seniors, sophomores and freshmen all participated in the soccer, volleyball, and basket- ball tournaments. The seniors carried home the winner's trophy for soccer and basketball, and the sophomores claimed it back for the volley- ball tournament. Summing up this year's girls, athletic pro- gram, we have to admit that it has been the most active one in years, and we hope it will continue under equally good management for years to come.

Under some new amendments to the constitution and having made the resultant changes in inetnbership last year, the club was once more settled and ready to do business. Big is an honor society for boys who have received athletic awards in the various sports, and many ol its ineinbers also have numerous posts in other clubs and oiganizations. The business of the club was well disposed of by our president, Melvin Peth, under the excellent leadership of our advisor, Mr. Stahl. The vice-president was Joe Benston, with the posts of secretary and treasurer being capably filled by Gerald Reinert and Lyle Kirkby, respectively. The Big MB animal initiation of new members was well taken care of in the usual inanner and enjoyed by our student body in a school assembly held solely for that purpose. The retiring members of the Big wish to thank the remaining members for being so co-operative and hope that the club will enjoy another good year in '49-'50. l 79 lst Row, 2nd Row, HIT. 3rd Row, IIICLCT.
