 jlameA J4owaxd (ftuxnett If, at eight forty-four on a school morning, one looks down upon the school driveway, he can usually distinguish a chartreuse streak. Fifty-nine seconds later Jim Burnett scuffs his way into chapel with a sheepish grin on his face. Although he is sometimes suspected of being late, he always manages to get into chapel before the second bell. However, Jim’s good-natured ness makes up for his lack of punctuality. He can always be seen with a cheerful smile on his face and is always willing to help a friend in need. Jim is well known for his interest in animals. All that is necessary is a conversation about jxrts, and Jim is sure to join the discus- sion. As far as pets go, he has a dog and two cats. A careful study of his interests might lead one to believe that Jim would enjoy living the life of a farmer; for one of his favorite hobbies is gardening. He enjoys raising vegetables very much and makes this activity a useful, as well as entertaining, hobby. Jim also enjoys fishing anil hunting as well as swimming and playing the piano. He has been with the class of 54 at Blake for nine years and has made many friends who will always remember him for his good-natured-ncss and jovial attitude.

Glee Club V. VI; Baseball V, VI; Football VI; Hotkey-Manager VI. Qeotge (Bonnet t From the depth of Ovic’s basement come the gentle, clear notes of a bass, accompanied by the rest of the band. George is in the midst of another jam session with his noted bass. George’s popularity in music has developed through his characteristics of determination and good-naturedness. To perfect his bass playing George took lessons that have enabled him to use a bow with his bass as well as pluck or strum accompaniments. His determination showed itself this fall as time after time George would race down the football field after one of Chiefs passes during practices. No matter how many times he had run, or how tired he was, George was still good for one more. In his studies and in hockey this same ability of determination has earned his classmates’ respect. But George is not all seriousness. Far from it. His classmates will always remember him for his broad, toothy grin and well timed jokes that added so much to parties and discussions. Outside of his school interests George is an expert at hunting and fishing. But most of all George likes to talk about Detroit and the Detroit teams. Seniors have conceded many a sports argument to George’s expert knowledge of sports Detroit-wise. With his determination and good-naturedness George will make a success not only of college but also of life. “The music in my heart I bore. Long after it was heard no more.” William Wordsworth 19

He kicked the starter and was off in the clamor of meshing gears. After gaining speed on the level, the midget car started up a shallow incline where, nearing the top, the motor quit, and the car sputtered to a stop. Jim Campbell's Monster” had failed again to conquer this insurmountable hill! Jim’s creation is just another example of his unique and ingenious mechanical ability. Actually, he has tried to improve or perfect many devices, among them a remote control garage door and now a revolutionary automobile engine. However, Jim’s talent in mechanics is not his only achievement. Unknown to many people, lie was one of the first kitchen helpers in the history of Blake Waiters and also holds the dubious honor of eating the most food of any boy at Blake pound for pound. He is also a member of both the Glee Club and Dramatics Association. However, Camp’s” greatest achievements are in the field of athletics. He has been on the Varsity Swimming Team for three years. His speed and competitive spirit make him an essential part of the team. With his ingenuity, knowledge, and winning personality, Jim will certainly distinguish himself in college and later life. 21
