A flashy red Chevrolet coupe with foglights, spotlights, and a chromium swan as a radiator decoration comes flying into the parking lot every morning at eight-thirty. You look behind the wheel and who do you see? None other than Bux himself. Burr entered our class in the ninth grade with a bang. He has been an important asset to the A teams: winning letters in them all, and he has been an excel- lent-plus student in fine arts and architecture. His ironical Wit and explosive laughter have kept the boys in stitches tor tour years. Brix was the original inventor of the Buxell Week- end, that is to have dates with four different girls on a weekend, and still have none of the girls know it among themselves. BARBARA I EAN BISHOP Barbara is characterized by her sweet smile and soft voice which reveal her sympathetic and kind personality. She asks innumerable questions, and sometimes the point of a very subtle joke has to be explained to her, especial- ly in seventh period English class. Barbara has always been interested in dramatics, and last year turned in a very capable performance ot Kay in Stage Door. She is an honor mem- ber in the HG. tHate Gym? Club. Her wonder- ful luncheons will long be remembered by the class-such food, such prizes! She has many interests, notable among which are her activi- ties on the Review and Yearbook. Barb will probably be the last girl in the class to drive, because she has simply put it otf. NWT I'vo won: l've won! You don't moan mo! Page Sixteen

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.

I-IARRIET VIRGINIA BLAND Stories ol Pine Blutt, Arkansas, a Southern accent, and Ginny became one of us in the eleventh grade. Although that Southern accent doesn't help her in dramatics or Glee Club, the Arkansas men seem to like it. Since Ginny has moved to St. Louis, the most important man in her life is the postman, who brings her warm letters from cold Alaska. While Ginny managed to cut her way through Husmud for a good grade in Biology, algebra will always be her favorite course, Dixie's lucky number was nyne. Ginny will long be remembered for her winning personality, con- sideration for others, open houses, and last but not least, her great ability and enthusiasm for Physical Education. Hail to Dixie! DENNIS PURVER COX Dennis is one of the old guard, having com- pleted the cycle that started at Community and finished with six glorious years at Burroughs. Dennis is not the type of person who does a lot of talking, but he's the kind of person Whom We like to have around because of his understand- ing and his good sense oi humor. There are numerous reasons for admiring Dennis, and we all look up to him as being a man of many ways. Besides being an Air Scout and also showing great interest in Aeronautics, Denny has been an enthusiastic member of the soccer team and of the Glee Club. Dennis is very proud of the fact that he hails from Webster, and is equally proud ot the I-Iudsons that have dominated his family automotive transportation. 'Not bud! Take me back to Arkansas.
