Dan has been known since the Seventh grade as one of the outstanding musicians of our group. During his six years at Burroughs, he has entertained us many times in Assembly and in the practice rooms with frequent iam sessions. He is technically minded, and his knowledge of automobiles is quite amazing. Given the make and model oi any car, Dan can immediately tell any data that you wish to know. D.B. gained distinction as a leader of the Photography Club during the last three years. He is most enthusiastic about records and practical jokes. Dan is one of the most popular boys in the class because of his pleas- ing personality and mirthful sense of humour. ELIZABETH ANN BALL Betty's the gal who Wears a new outfit every day which she just whipped up in her spare time. The pride of the sewing room, Ball turns us green with envy because of her wonderful ability in making clothes. But her talents don't end in the domestic field, for she capably took the position of Editor-in-chief of the Year Book and did a marvelous job. We must mention that there are many outside interests in Bet's life, especially that certain someone. Any roses lately, Miss Ball? We can't understand how Betty keeps that slim figure, unless it might be the continual trips to the office with the at- tendance slips. She's one of those people who are always busy: and if there's any errand to run, Betty will always come to the rescue. l'll have it tomorrow. O fudge! Where are those write ups' Page Fourteen

CLASS HISTUHY They were all boys: George Hagee, President, George Fiske, Vice President, and lack Wiese, Secretary. The war called Mr. Sprague, our first advisor, to the Navyp so Mr, Montgomery took over the boys and Miss Krueger guided the girls. We remember the work detail Mr. Montgomery assigned us to. It consisted of sweeping the halls during the advisory period. That Christmas lean Dazey was picked as one of the figures in the Tableaux. The class gave a grand party, a Box Supper. Later, the more venturesome boys started dating, particularly after they discovered Mary I. The girls couldn't be out- done, so they discovered that there was another school besides Bur- roughs, Country Day. Enviously we awaited the following year when we could attend the Leap Year Dance, but the boys were dismayed when they were in- formed they would have to wear ties. ln the fall of 1943, we entered the ninth grade. Remember-that was the year when our troops be- gan to storm Hitler's doorstep, Italy. The Allies broke the dead- lock at Salerno in September and began the great Italian campaign which eventually pushed the Nazis out of Italy. Oh, yes, and Laney CAI Iolsen or Bing Crosby? Lee came into Burroughs for the first time. Well, so did Hap Salisbury, lim Bob Kearney, Bob Maune, Phil Smith, Ferg Fowler, Ruth Magee, Ioan Dorsett, Carolyn The- lander, Scott Skinner, Fleur Barn- grove, Irv Buxell, Iim Deakin, and Barbara Bishop. We lost Ioan Bassieur, Carol Godwin, Courtney Shands, Cliff Kurris, Tim Corneli, Martha Rusk, Bill MaCagg, and Neal Wood. With interest we noted that we were a year above the eighth tCantinued on page 411 Q 1 ,.,. ,. . Page Thirteen Class of '47 in '45, '45 and

FLEUR BARNGROVE Fleur is best known for her wonderful sense of humor and her mania for rabbits, to say nothing of her very striking figure. She is very talented, too-in art where she can draw those rabbits to her heart's content and in drarnatics where she portrayed, very humorously, Mady Platt in Spring Dance. Very often we go to Fleur for advice because she understands other people, and she will calmly help us solve some of our most trying problems. It's for this reason that she gets along well with almost everybody, including a certain Senior boy. Perhaps we envy most her ability to settle down and really get to work when there is a job to be done. RICHARD WILSON BENNET, lR. Richard is known for his charming smile and for his ability to get the most out of the least effort. His nonchalant attitude is the bane ot the more serious-minded students and the joy of his fellow-travelers. Dick is the type of per- son who is in no way influenced by what the crowd does. He does what Dick wants to do. In classes he covers the ground at his own pace: in athletics he excels at sports he likes, and rejects those he doesn't like. His grades are what he Wants to make them. He made the track team and the soccer team. His charm of manner and independent thinking endear him to all of us. We help him and he helps us. Co-operation is the keynote of his success. Wherefore art thou, Romeo! Let's go lor a ride. Page Fifteen FLEUR BARNGROVE TENTH GRADE: Dramatics. ELEVENTH GRADE: Dramatics.
