NEW HISTORY FOR BURBANK The new Burbank School has over a thousand children attending it. The senior group has found it quite satisfactory to attend earlier. Their first period tardy bell rings at seven forty-five and school closes for them at two twenty-five. The junior group starts at nine fifteen in the morning, which is in truth the third period, and school closes for them at three fifty-five. The Edison School lockers were installed about two weeks after school started in January. There are lockers for all children in the school now and these are greatly appreciated by all. The Edison print shop was moved into the bicycle room. The bicycles are now put on the boys ' gym ground. The cafeteria and work shops were closed temporarily, until the building could be made stronger. The lunchroom was in the auditorium while the build ing was being repaired. --Virginia Harding H9y ' BERKELEY ' S REFLECTION Can you see Berkeley sixty years from now, its tall skyscraper covering the blue skies, and beautiful trees planted beside them? Here we are, watching these trees growing and making Berkeley a more beautiful and prosperous city. Do you realize the future of Berkeley depends upon us, the younger generation? What we do, and how we do it, will reflect on us later, so whatever we do, do well. As Benjamin Franklin said: If you would have s thing well done, do it yourself. It is up to us to help Eerkeley to prosper. --Michael Leone L8y ' ADDITIONAL SHRUBBERY Have you noticed the new trees that have been planted in front of the school? The CWA was kind enough to plant them and I think we should appreciate them enough to let them grow. They make a splendid setting for the school. Now when they are small everyone is complimenting them and saying how beautiful they are, but per- haps in a few years everyone will be complaining about the leaves that fall and clutter the sidewalks. Nevertheless, expect to re- ceive much enjoyment from them. — Lucille Flaming L9y ' WINNERS OF THE SILVER B The Silver B is awarded to the graduates of this school by the faculty, for outstanding service or excellent scholarship. The winners for both scholarship and service in the fall semester of 1933 were: Th.resa Brigante, Mary Chavez, Hilda Immonen, Helen Johnson, and Sylvia Jokinen. Nola Caprio , Clifford Nagel, and Clara Nelson earned Silver B ' s for scholarship while Phyllis Conner won hers for service. --Lois Fisk H9y '

couldn ' t stand to see it come tumbling down on our heads. !e have a lovely new playground, too. To store bicycles inJ . ' The girls have very politely been shoved into the yards so the men of our school can have gym. Of course it ' s turnabout, but it ' s so undigni fied. But, readers, I ' m not really moaning, I ' n still ready to give a great long rousing cheer for our jig-saw school, Burbank Junior High. ' --Claire Doty .i9x BURBANK ' S NSW DEAL Burbank ha.s had a complete over-hauling since the Edison pu- pils have joined us. If one were to go in the assembly hall, he would probably hear dishes, knives, forks, and spoons clanking to the tune of the Anvil Chorus being played by the band, a few squeaks and squeals from someone trying to learn how to play some instrument, a hum of muttering from pupils trying to do algebra, and someone topping things off by saying a Message to Garcia . Many costunes hang helter-skelter in the boys ' gym, having been moved from the old costume room. If any teacher wants any of these costumes, she must wear sixteenth century armor to be pro- ' r’ g g r , H ’
