Dedication In dedicating the 1964 Scarab to Miss Ellen Burkhart, we wish to express our gratitude for her many years of stimu- lating classes in English. We will long remember her inter- esting anecdotes of her travels in America and Europe, the fun we had with Shakespeare, and her gallant efforts to im- prove our grammar. Through her work as sponsor of the ECHO, we have an outstanding school newspaper. Miss Burkhart is a native of Benton. She graduated from the Benton High School. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Wisconsin, and was awarded her Master of Arts degree at the University of Illinois. Miss Burkhart has never limited her enthusiasm and tal- ents to her work at school. She is a leader in professional and community groups. She has been president of the Illinois Association of Teachers of English, the Alpha Kappa Chap- ter of Delta Kappa Gamma, and the Benton Branch of the American Association of University Women. She has been a member of the Benton Public Library Board for several years. Miss Burkhart is active in the First Baptist Church in Benton where she has taught Sunday School and is the church organist. It is with great pleasure that we dedicate our yearbook to Miss Ellen Burkhart. Miss Burkhart with her dog, Echo, at home.
