Thirfy-four years of unswerving devofion fo fhe high cause of secondary educa- fiong fhirfy-four years of earnesf adherence fo sound principles and fine ideals: fhirfy-four years of quief consfrucfive leadership, followed loyally and frusffully by of long years, David Burcham. sfudenfs and feachers alike. These words describe fhe public life of our dear friend He has richly earned fhe opporfunify fo resf a bif-fo do some of fhe personal fhings full fime fhaf have herefofore been crowded info infrequenf infervals only possi- bly available in his life of unflagging service fo ofhers. We hope he will be well and secure in his enjoymenf of fhe lovelier fwilighf hours of his full life as he has occasion fo confemplafe refrospecfively fhe resulfs of his labors-vivid in fhe lives of fhousands of Poly High men and women. David Burcham may refire from fhe offices, halls, classrooms and assemblies of old Poly, buf never from his own personal place in our lives, never from our hearfs. Harry Buffum Presidenf Sfudenf Body, 'I3 Presidenf Buffums' If is an opporfunify bofh professional and personal fo be asked fo wrife a leffer of fribufe concerning Mr. David Burcham who is refiring from fhe feaching profession fhis year. My firsf feaching posifion in Long Beach was af fhe Polyfechnic High School where l came fo know and appreciafe fhe kindliness and sincerify of him as a principal and as a friend fo all members of his sfaff. The work of Mr. Burcham has been oufsfanding. The splendid rafing mainfained by fhe Polyfechnic High School is adequafe proof of fhe professional qualify of his leadership. The Cify Teachers Club is proud fo claim Mr. Burcham as one of fheir group and exfend fo him besf wishes for fhe leisure he so well deserves. Glee Duncan Presidenf Cify Teachers Club Mr. Burcham, affecionafely known fo sfudenfs from my fime on as Daddy Bur- cham, has been fhe spark-plug and mainspring of Long Beach High School and Poly- fechnic High School. We bofh sfarfed High School af fhe same fime in l907, Mr. Burcham as principal and myself as a freshman. l fhink fhaf he has been a friend and counsellor fo every sfudenf who has affended eifher one of fhose high schools since fhaf dafe, and we all have a feeling of love and devofion for him which we do nof exacfly have for ofher people, because of fhe peculiar qualifies fhaf he has exhibifed fhroughouf his long sfay in our school work. The excellence of Long Beach Polyfechnic High School is mainly due, in my opin- ion, fo his quief and efficienf guidance, and l believe all of his sfudenfs, of fhe presenf and fhe pasf, will always feel fhe effecf of his wonderful spirif. My own love and admirafion for him will never cease. Leslie E. Sfill 'I0 Judge, Superior Courf, Long Beach To be able fo pay fribufe publicly fo Mr. David Burcham is an opporfunify l have long awaifed. Buf my fribufe can simply confain fhe whole-hearfed appreciafion fhaf every sfudenf under Mr. Burcham has felf, and l feel fhaf if is buf an echoing voice en- suing fhe fhousands of worfhy praises showered upon him. If is easily conceived fhaf men of Mr. Burcham's qualifies are giffs fhaf few com- munifies receive. And when men wifh such affriloufes donafe fheir life work foward fhe feachings and profecfion of our American ldeals, fhere is really no reward rich enough fo merif fheir confribufion. Wifh fhe feachings of honor, frusf, and service, fhere musf be a living example affer which a coming generafion may paffern ifself. Buf fo mold oneself affer fhis man would necessifafe a comparafive lifefime of consisfenf foil and a measure- menf of sacrifice, an example difficulf fo follow. Thoughfs of grafifude and admirafion conclude fhis fribufe fo a man whose paf- fern many of us are affempfing fo approximafeg indeed, an ardous fask. Gene Pickeff Presidenf June Class, '39
