.izyeakcczlfion Miss Burgess has long been a prominent figure in Westem Penns lvania musical circles. We are justifiably proud of the fact that she has remainedy in our public school's faculty for thirt -five years. Her zeal for perfection has led Miss Burgess to spend most of her life in various colleges and universities polishing her musical talents. She has become nationally known through her contact with students in our local colleges. Born and raised in England, Miss Burgess has been trained to sing since she was five years old. She received her Degree of LTCL. from the Trinity Col- lege of London. She then came to America with the intentions of singing. She attended our own Grove City College where she received her Master of Arts Degree. She next attended Iulliard School of Music of New York University and finished her course at the University of Pennsylvania where she received the Master of Education Degree. Miss Burgess',first position in the field of music was held at our next door church, the United Presbyterian, where she was choir leader and soloist. During summer vacation, she liked to find out about American Schools. She first started to teach in Grove City High School in 1913 and has successfully devoted her entire career to the youth of our community. We the Pine Knot Staff are proud to dedicate the Year Book of 1950 to such a worthy teacher who has helped us throughout our twelve years of schooling. 5
