EDITH DREY EREUND Edie has been with us since the seventh grade, and from those first exciting days has been one of the best-liked girls of her class. Edie's contagious laugh is something that her classmates have been trying to figure out for years. When she laughs, the world laughs with her. lf someone needs a pencil sharpened or the pencil sharpener needs emptying, Edie is the little Miss Fix-it. Due to her lack of an ear for music, Mr. Weinrich bid farewell to one of his most outstanding members of the senior chorus, even though Edie's resounding voice has led many a Burroughs team to vic- tory. As Frances Finn, the innocent little co- quette in Spring Dance, she has uncovered her hidden ability for acting. Edie made a real place for herself at I. B. S. GEORGE BACON HAGEE George is one of those rare individuals who can find time to have lots of fun, and at the same time get top ranking grades. He likes fun, and he always makes whatever he is doing just that, for others, as well as for him- self. How he can get the grades he does, and still find time for messing around has puzzled more than one person. ln his Iunior year George was elected to the Student Court where in addition to his other duties he held down the vexing job of court clerk. We wonder if he will ever find that court slip mysteriously miss- ing from the records. lncidentally, the class has George to thank for his services in proof- reading and correcting the biographical sketches of the senior boys. lm confused! ls anybody detouring to Clayton?

' A bright green sweater with a deer on the front of it and saddle shoes on his feet in the middle of winter depict Gilde as he hurries down the hall with the latest 'World' news in his hand. He has proved to be one of the most successful World co-editors that We have ever had. He also displayed his excellent dramatic talents as he held down the leading male role of Sam, in SPRING DANCE. In chemistry, Gilde constantly baits the Obe with some of his South Side humor. Although he devotes much of his spare time to the opposite sex, he finds ample time to be a staunch member of the kingdom. Besides being a very good student, Gilde is a friend of everybody because of his agreeableness and sense of humor. His excellent planning in cooperation with Deakin made the WORLD one of the best in Burroughs history. NANCY ELAINE DREYER Nancy entered our class in the eighth grade, enlightening it with her charming personality. She has ever since been one of the most popu' lar girls and never ceases to amaze us with her ever-present laugh. Not only her ability in art, but also her willingness to cooperate and apply herself diligently made the decorations of the Iunior Prom a great success. Nancy and her over-crowded date book are the envy of us all. If it wasn't for Dreyer's card room, We often wonder where We would play our bridge games on Friday afternoons. She distinguished herself dramatically last year in portraying the flighty Bobby, in Stage Door. Nancy and her frantic cries echoing through the senior advisory for a fourth in bridge are long to be remembered. Z: ,LN 5.

ELEVENTH GRADE: A Soccer, A Baseball, Dramatics. TWELFTH GRADE: A Soccer, A Base- ball, Dramatics, Yearbook. ALEXANDER LANEY LEE A squat figure, bearing a cordial smile, sig- nifies Laney Lee. Laney's diverse talents and accomplishments are boundless. He writes, draws, plays a remarkable horn, and loves automobiles. He has participated in many school activities in many schools. Laney has led many of the Burroughs entertainment pro- grams and has been one of the best of Mrs. Gillan's performers. When not engaged in pur- suing his studies, Laney may be found at his farm, where he occasionally takes exercises by shooting turtles. Laney's passionate zeal for the detective novel and his barely bearable baritone are the basis for some witty asides ot his colleagues, which Laney seems to enjoy as much as his fellows. With his wealth of per- sonality and talent, Laney is an asset to any gathering and a sure thing to go places in life. IAMES ROBERT KEARNEY Ill lim Bob is best known for his unlimited acquaintance with the piano. Having mastered the art of Hot lazz, he has moved on to com- posing. This year he wrote a Iazz column for the World. He did an excellent job in the play Spring Dance, and increased the member- ship of the l. C. by one. lim is also notorious for the number of excursions he has made to various parts of the U. S.: these he lightly terms as his doings Nevertheless, with his many diversions, he continues to bring down honor grades, a feat which startles the faculty into submission. Iim's talents have given him in- numerable friends and admirers, all of whom say that he will certainly become the class millionaire, if kept away from forbidden auto- mobiles and marked cards. That is cz heck of cx note! Go Welt, young man! Page Twenty-Six
