When you compare life here with life as it is lived in other parts of the world today, you can not but help feel that every real American should be glad that he is an American. I realize that this is one of the few countries of this world today where every child regardless of political or bnancia status, has the opportunity of attending school and securing an edu- cation. The children of today don’t stop to think how lucky they are to be able to go to school and learn whatever trades they want. Do you ever stop to think what you would do without freedom of speech, freedom of press and freedom to wor- ship as you please? What rights would we have without the Constitution? I think that is why most of us like to live in America. Probably the most important of all is the right to vote and elect the people we want for offices, not only of city state government, but the United States government. We have a voice in making national laws and international policies. I think this is one of the great- est things for anyone to do. Another great thing is that each person can make something of himself. Maybe the fellow sitting next to you today will be someone you might be reading about twenty years from now or he may be a famous person, even president, because in America there is always a chance for everyone to suc- ceed. I don’t know what I will be doing ten years from now, but I do know that in ten years I will still have the rights that I have today and probably have more! 1 think every child in America to day is looking forward to serving his country in some way. Set up in Kenncrly Oldstyle type by {Robert Sool ★ ★★★★★★ PRESENTING 19 4 1 FALL HIGH NINES BURBANK LEADER Principal ' s Message You have chosen well for your motto, High Nines of Burbank School. Then give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you. These are times when the world needs the best of every right-thinking world citizen, re- gardless of country or creed. You give your best when you give your best effort and do the task which is given you to the very best of your abil- ity. Perhaps this means giving your best to your lessons, to your home, to your job, to an honest endeavor to develop your own character. Then what is the best which will come back to you? Is it more money, a finer house, a better position? These things may come — and we all like them — Tut the best will show itself now in happiness at home and at school; later in success in whatever work you choose outside of school; and finally, in deserved self-respect and the respect of your as- sociates. This is the most lasting best” that can come to anyone. — Bruce L. Zimmerman FOND MEMORIES This was our home For three years that passed quickly by Now we are going on To find greater hope, And even greater happiness. We can not say; We do not know, But we ll never forget What you have given us. True friends — proud possessions these, A value unassessed Hope for the future, Fond memories for the past. Our eyes are dimmed with tears. But we do not seek to hide them Our last goodbyes are bid to you Amid tears and smiles. — Nilda Peruzzo, H9. Accurso, I. Brown, G. Chrisman, E. Dock, A. Gimbel, E.

I SAW YOU COME I saw you come--bright- eyed, eager, plastic, questioning; I watched you seek friends, test ways and means of liv- ing in the new scene. Some followed false clues, some wavered; others marched straight ahead, As if a goal was out in front, ever beckoning to- ward better things. To the little children of three years ago I say good-by. I see you preparing to go-- even now a faraway look is in your eye, As you gaze out into the unknown To new friends, experiences, joys, sorrows and work-- To fulfillments of dreams ' begun in your early- teens , While yet you had time to browse and linger and seek For the right ways to live and love and serve. To you, the young men and women of tomorrow. I greet you-- I will miss you when you’ve gone. V.M.G. CLASS GIVE TO THE WORLD THE EE ST YO FACE TO DEDICATION On a dreary January day in ’39 a group of pu- pils from grammar school entered Burbank. We felt lost in our strange sur- roundings. Out of this state of mind a very strong but gentle woman helped us. As time passed we re- ceived our share of praise and blame from our counsel- or who did everything in her power to help us. Out of this group have developed many good, loyal future Amer ican citizens. We therefore dedicate these memoirs to Hiss Virma C-lover, counselor of the 119 group. --The High Nine Class Y.E HAIL THEE BURBANK TUNE- We Are Americans We hail thee Burbank, Our Junior High so dear. Thy fame is ever glorious; Thy name we love to hear. We fondly shall remember Ion The school we love so well. With thoe dear Burbank High Our hearts shall dwell. --E.C MOTTO HAVE AND THE BEST WILL COME YOU . HISTORY OF HIGH NINE CLASS 1939 A smaUi group of very young and timid Low Sevens scurry curiously about Burbank. These same little budding genuises have the time of their lives at Treasure Island on Berk- eley Day. 100 aesthetic dancers impersonate the winds . 1940 A paper drive proves to us in the Low Eight that collecting pa- pers can be a lot of fun. The West Berkeley Merchants have their win- do ws decorated by Burbank artists especially High Eights . 1941 In the Low Nine the three advisories com- bine and give the paper drive a whale of a push with the help of Miss Glover’s trailer. They whoop it up at Cordonices park for their picnic. Betty Owens discovers some Pretty leaves . Poison Oak! The Low Nines go back to infancy to help roll the money in at the Burbank Fiesta with a kid circus . Near the end of the Low Nine term they are busy composing campaign speeches. Yes I we turn politicians and elect the next Student Officers from our number. The High Nines, the smallest class in some years , awakens to become a giant of bustling activity. Admiral Glover and co- admiral Skitnmings lead a hundred murderous sub- chasers in pursuit of 600 subs (subscriptions) or at least as many necks. The start is poor, but what a finish! 620 subs are in the bag! About a score and three days later the victorious fleet reaches port. An outdoor rally is held--what a welcome! The H9-2 ' s had chased do wn the most, and the 3 ' s and l ' s followed close. In their honor a gay vic- tory party is staged by the 3 ' s and l ' s. Among the famous guest artists at the party are: Lily pons. (Ray), Lawrence Tib- bet. (Tony), Mary Astor, (Anna Belle), Gladys Swarth- out, (Lily), Eleanor Powell, (Joan M.), and our own James Hendricks. Chinese checker champions compete against other champions. Gadgets were given as prizes. While Seth and his buddies played the rec- ords, Charlene and Merced danced away with the first prize . 1942 Commencement Day, the climax of High Nine ef forts ! LOOKING IN THE CRYSTAL BALL As I was walking to- wards the bus stop on Uni- versity Avenue in 1956, whom should I see raising the American flag on the pole but Ray Hollenbeck, the present custodian of Burbank School. 1 As I con- tinued to gaze on this tranquil scene, someone came out and began vigor- ously shaking my hand. Why James Piper.’ I ex- claimed, Didn ' t you get out of here yet? No, I liked it so much that I’m the principal now. Just then the bus came along, driven by my old friend, Robert Moor- head. I sat down next to a chap carrying a violin and who did it turn out to be but Irwin Jones, who told me of the brilliant symphonic orchestra of which he was a member. The conductor was that famous maestro, Richard Larson. The Prima Donna was Jean- nette Marlin, who sang duets with Tommy Knudsen, The piano player was Wal- ter Locatelli. Lctha Har- vey played the sousaphone. The flute was played by the talented Donald Wolfe. Astor Mizuhara ' was the trumpet player , and who played the accord ian but Ardel Docki Then Irwin got off the bus so I opened my newspaper. Who should stare at me from the front page but those two famous scientist partners, Elaine Gimbol and Howard Rungei As I turned the page , I saw that officer Edward Wulbern had finally cought Public Enemy-No . -I --Vin- cent Nicora. His case was to be tried by judge Joe Hernandez; the defendant’s lawyer was George Shirley. As I got off the bus I heard a whistle and turned around to see three sailors, Kenneth Thomas, Gene Ross, and Joe Rogers, Shriek. ' Crash. ' Two auto- mobiles had collided head on. In one were the three leading society ladies of Berkeley, Pat Wallace, Phyllis Jackson, and Joan ' Thorpe. In the other car, there were the three school teachers, Esther Ducnas, Dorothy Roberts, and Mar- garet Ruddcll Just then the ambulance arrived dri- ven by Andrew Soo and Ray Soo. The woman physician turned out to be Bernice Nagel, assisted by Barbara Bradley and June Bonham. As it was time for my dentist appointment I en- tered the office building. ' Someone said, Chewing gum, candy. I turned and there was Hilda Peruzzo, Swish. ' A little black pup ran by me, followed by Tony Cannizzo, with a net. I stepped into an elevator operated by Gene Whiting, and in there I met Eula Mae Mann, famous majorette, and Evelyn Lewis, famous blues singer. In the den- tist’s waiting room was La Verne Wagner with a puz- zled look on her face. When questioned she said she was still trying to decide between Alfonso Brito and Manuel Puccio. Also waiting for the den- tist was Charlene Johnson, now secretary to Merced Jiminez, the most famous movie star, and George Murakam i, now a camera man for the Look” magazine. The dentist ' s nurse turned out to be June Johnson. There was a salesman try- ing to sell patented false teeth to the dentist. The saleman was Richard Swerer and the dentist was Law- rence Verdugo. After my appointment I went to do a little shopping. On the way I passed a barber shop and Seth Zwetz, with his hair still in his eyes was cut- ting Esther walker ' s hair. Looking up to the sky I saw a stunt plane just pulling out of a dive. Lucie Quihillait, now a Spanish teacher, said, That ' s Viola de Zeeuw, the stunt flier, and her co-pilot, Shirley Duffin. And that ' s Betty Hale that made that parachute land- ing on the roof of the ci- ty hall. As I entered Lee Newall Sons ' Department Store, a floor walker came up to me, whom I re- cognized as William Estra- da. When I told him I wanted to buy some cosmet- ics he took me to them, passing on the way, Rey- nold Lofberg selling a piano to La Mar Overman, and Joan Me Cormick selling school supplies. Finally reaching the cosmetic counter, whom should I re- cognize selling rouge and powder but Bob Tool l Then I saw Earl Rudd selling haberdashery and there was Cleophas Mack selling Ma- rie Luedor an imitation wedding ring. ' Flashi I was blinded by a light. Then I realized it was Josephine DeRienzo still taking candid shots. I then took an elcvator-- this time operated by YVil- lys Gilmore-- to the lunch room where Ralph Seddon waited on me. At tho ta- ble next to me were some gossiping ladies who turned out to be Ida Accurso, Marilyn Berry, Gwen Brown, Shirley DeMamiel and Rita DeLeon. At another table was Lois Johnston with five Kiddies. After I finished lunch I passed tho beauty parlor depart- ment. There was a sign that read Laura Cardoza, expert hair cutter. Hav- ing their hair cut ’ ore Ear line Evans, Maizie Thomp- s 021 and Dorothy Gustafson. Then I walked out to tho street and saw Jac ’. ' . ' yman and Lucille Parker rid- ing a bicycle built for two, followed by Isamu Na- gata and Mariko Shinoda on another, I then looked at a signboard which read, Buy Dandy Baby Rattles-- Put Out by Robert Thomas, Charles Moore, Eugene Chrisman Co. Seeing a crowd I looked up and saw James Hendrick shout- ing on top of a soap box. Rooting for him was Ichiro Ozawa, and arguing with him was John Noriega, Listening to James was Vivian Wimmer in a nurse ' s outf i t . I then walked towards the bus stop, passing on the way, Jesus Noriega, now a tamale taster , I got on a bus and sat be- hind ’’. ' ilbertine James, Vivian Richardson and An- na Belle Jones talking a- bout Lily Wong and Robert Carter, the two intellect- ual speakers of the day. In the back of the bus were Barbara Wiseman, He- len Wagner, Laila Kangas, Beverly Kaufman, Ernest- ine Oubre and Betty Owens . From their conversation I gathered that they wero on their way to a p. T. A. meeting. By the way, the bus was driven this time by Eiji Yamamoto. When I arrived home in the evening, I said to myself, I think I met every single person who graduated from Burbank with me. My thoughts were interrupted by the door- bell, When I answered it who should be there saying, Shoe laces, needles, and pins , but Lowell Gomez ii GUESS WHO It is rumored, that daring this last term, a very sympathetic, and gen- erous being in the leaving High Nine Class, had the habit of taking in stray dogs. He had previously been involved in some, dog trouble, for sympa- thizing with a strange- looking mongrel . Un- doubtedly he was possessed with an intense longing for a canine friend of his own. At last, opportunity knocked! A poor frightened and forlorn-looking puppy had strayed into the school building. A kind teacher had heard that this gener- ous boy was searching for a dog of his own, so she very graciously bestowed the bewildered little pup- py upon him. Oh 2 but his joy was short-lived! For the very next day he had to return it, because the legal own- er had inquired for it. This ardent sympathi- zer was so sincere that he absolutely refused a reward that was offered for the return of the dog. He couldn ' t possibly be a stu- dent court judge, or--could he? --Isamu Nagata A LITTLE, CLASS IN BURBANK GREW Our little class in Burbank grew, Our little class of Lo w Sevens, who Were filled by teachers with knowledge true, And so we grew. And so our class is very blue, As we sit back and now review Our good times here, and bad times, too, And say adieu, --Lois Johnston With apologies to Eugene Field THE TERRIBLE THREE Tony knew it had to be done ; it was a job the gang had been waiting for. There they were, staring at hirn, knowing at any mo- ment he would hit with all his mig ht. He felt the beads of sweat standing on his forehead, as he gently switched his club, waiting for the right moment to ar- rive, Tony saw the terri- ble three waiting for him to strike the fatal blow. Then he saw it coming to- ward him; he moved slight- ly, and wanted to back out, but he saw the gang tensely waiting, and it was useless to admit he was such a cow- ard. It was almost upon Tony, he knew then was the right moment. He struck blindly, for until then cowardice had filled his heart. It was a perfect connection and the ball went over the fence f or a home run; the terrible three , Chris man, Nagata and Yool, on first, sec- ond and third, stood amazed while Tony ran by each of them to home -plate. --Lowell Gomez GOODBY BURBANK Burbank Junior High School, We must now bid you adieu; Words cannot express how much, We ' ll all be missing you. As we enter some fine high school And in it ' s life we take our parts, Please believe me and my classmates You ' ll remain deep in our hearts . Mr, Zimmerman and teachers, We love you each and every one Although you made us study, We still had heaps of fun. There ' s a little sadness in our hearts, As we start this year anew But we ' ll try to make you proud of us , As we ' ve been proud of you. We ' ll give three cheers for Burbank Then on our ways we ' ll go, We leave you our best wishes , Because wc lovo you so. --Maizic Kent Thompson L9 PRIMER A-- is for Angel la who likes candy bars, B-- must be Byron who soars among stars.

A handsome lad lay fast asleep ; Diana the goddess saw him there , And could not resist a lad so fair. On his lips she placed a kiss , An act which Jupiter did not misa, And condemmed the lad to die or sleep-- But if the latter, eternal youth to keep. So the youth slept on, and Diana wept, Wishing she ' d on her jour- ney kept .nd not even noticed the lad so fair Whose beauty enticed her while sleeping there. --Phyllis Watson A GREAT LADY On October 28, a famous American lady had a birthday. She was born in France and is fifty-seven years old. The height of this great lady is one hundred fifty feet and she weighs two hun- dred twenty-five tonsi She stands in New York harbor.

No. Mexico? Ah, yes. We chose Dimas and Martha as interpreter and guide respectively. You may now observe us as we leave Burbank. Mr. Swine- ford, clad in blue jeans • and brilliant plaid shirt, asked if all were present. Noses were counted. Mary shouted, Yi fe ' ve only 35 noses. One’s lost] Whose nose is lost? quizzed Francis. It ’ s ' Audrey ’ s and she’s gone, too, Betty replied . Just then a moan was heard. Ha, ha, ' on you] It’s only Audrey, Beverly told us. Now we could start. We ran into trouble at once because Stanley insisted on taking his hobby shop. Finally a place was found for all, including Harry and his food supply. We vanished over the hills to the tune of Lloyd ' s wails. In the front seat were Lyle, Henry, and the driver Gilbert. Sitting on the sway-backed top were La Verne, Louisa, and Peggy. Then Robert hauled out his chemical sot, causing dis- may among the ' others. Horrors, cried the gang, Now George is fuss- ing with explosives too. SSShl A flat tire. We’ve ho pump, said A.J. Mr, Swineford said, Let ' s have Barbara blow it up. She has lots of air in class . In this way, we arrived in Mexico, stopping (around a tree). Don Juan Davis wished more senoritas to woo, and when we left the land of siestas, Don was put on a stretcher by George and Daniel. Then Neal found we had no brakes. Rita had an idea.

The Low-Eights want to be known not as a grade, but as a union of self-gov- erned workers in the field of knowledge. We do not want to be proud of our individual success, but to help in aiding the slow ones of our group with patience . --Wendell Marlin AIMS Our aim is to make our school , The best there is to find; We try to help our teacher, To be thoughtful, good, and kind ; To be cooperative, show in- itiative , And appreciation, is our rule . Let us honor and esteem Our beloved Burbank School. --Beverly Meyer FORWARD, MARCH! We are lofty in aims, We are fair in games; Books in arms, papers too, Minds at work, eyes alert, To dear Burbank we ' er ever true. --Diane Mattila act together, to think to- gether, and to be together. We should be individuals, but we should act as a group; this is the only way anything can be done. United we do great things, but separated we are noth- ing. It is as Abraham Lin- coln said, United we stand but divided we fall. --Dan Young WHAT CAN YOU DO? What can you do for national defense? Don ' t give up because you are not old enough to join or sup- port the army and navy] Just the things you do in school will help a great deal. Those small contribu tions from your allowance towards the Junior Red Cross will hc-lp the defense units more than you know. The main thing is to learn and practice true patriotism. I have seen silly conduct in my own room during flag salute. Begin now to practice be- ing good citizens and American patriots. --Marilyn Duff in EVANGELINE This fall the L8-2 ' s did a very successful pres- entation of Evangeline un- der the direction of Mrs. Clark. The class chose - the cast and committees, and then worked out five effective scenes. Later a verse choir was added to help the narrator tell the story. This and church music gave sad mood to the play, which was also helped by projected scen- ery and lighting. The au- dience showed complete sym- pathy and understanding. --Rae Carruthers ART QUIZ Have you seen the art pictures in the hall this semester? We, the Low Eight Fours, have been very in- terested in answering the bulletin about the pic- tures. Every Thursday we are allowed to go through the halls and look at these pictures, so we can answer the questions at the end of the week. There are also paintings, drawings and cartoons by our former Burbank pupils who arc now working as artists. At Christmas, beautiful Della Robia garlands were hung near Miss Santos ' lovely tree of tiny pine cones. We are very grateful to her for giving us this opportunity. --L8-4 Class HOW BURBANK IS LIKE THE U.S.A. Burbank has a rep- resentative ' council with a president, secretary, ' and treasurer in charge. This is 1 ike a legislative tody with the executives to carry out their laws. Law and order is kept by the officers, and punish- ment is dealt out by the student court where wrong doers arc given a fair trial. All this adds up to making the school like a nation. The council is the congress, the rooms arc the states, and the officers our arm} ' ' and navy All have the same equal chance to learn. This is how democracy is at work in Burbank. --Ruben dc Alba THE BURBANK ORCHESTRA One of the most out- standing activities at Bur bank is the Burbank School Orchestra. This orchestra nov has about forty member and is growing rapidly. The instruments that are mainly used arc the violin cello, and bass. Last spring our or- chestra went to Stockton. There it played and com- peted with orchestras from all parts of California Its rating was good. If you have an opportunity to join this organization, don ' t pass it up. The organization is under the splendid direction of Mr. Victor Schott. --Don Hall LUTHER BURFANK Luther Burbank loved flowers and experimented, thus producing Shasta daisies and the gigantic amaryllis. We at Burbank planted shrubs last year to make Burbank a better- looking school. We can go even fur- ther and copy Luther Bur- bank ' s characteristics. He was kind and gentle, loved children, and was charitable to all. He had an exact knowledge of plants, and worked to per- fect new species. •--Beverly Meyer ACTIVITY PERIOD Burbank ' s program of fun includes many inter- esting things, but I think eighth period is the most exciting. Dur- ing this period different organizations meet, such as Orchestra and Band, Drum and Bugle Corps, Junior Glee, Senior Glee, Eoys ' Dancing, and Knit- ting. --Ellen Corson THE LIBRARY Our fine modern li- brary with its sound-proof linoleum floors, maple fur- niture, and its 4000 books is something to be proud of. We enjoy doing refer- ence work there, and love the de-luxe editions as well as the 500 books of fiction for pleasure read- ing. --Theodora Tang WHO KNOWS? Nearly every boy and girl has an ambition to become something great. What chance have I to be- come an artist? This question occasionally will run through the mind of some ambitious boy or girl. Here are some of form- er Burbank High School stu- dents who are artists : Eleanor Fox, illustrator; Bob Haney, cartoonist; Bill Stevens and Eric John- son, display artists; Eil- leen Giveen and Fumike Takayanaki , fashion illus- trators; Euler Finley and Fern Ribley, winners of scholarships at Arts and Crafts; Aileen Wilkes, art teacher, and Tetsuo Takayanaki, sculptor. Many of their pictures have been lent to us for our hall displays this term. These men and wom- en have accomplished some- thing, and we have all been inspired by their wo rk . --Elinor Duncan THE FASHION PARADE The girls ' associa- tion greatly enjoyed an assembly conducted by a fashion expert, Miss Guet- er from Now York. She first showed some slides, and then some new dresses were modeled by our girls! I especially liked the corduroy jetty- jumper . --Virginia Wright ADMIRAL BYRD Admiral Byrd had a touch- down to make ; He planned this for Amer- ica ' s sake. He reached his goal, The cold South Foie, And finally the game did take .- -Robe r ta Seyden BALBOA Balboa discovered the Paci- fic so blue; Here ' s what he said (it may not be true) Hah, an ocean, said he With childish glee — As he waded in up to his knee. --Be tty Nielsen PIZARRO Pizarro conquered Peru; He conquered the Incas, too. The Indians were weak, Or perhaps just meek- Do you think that was a nice thing to do? --Mary Lou Evans FERNANDO DE SOTO To the broad Miss is sip ' went De Soto in vain, After trying great lands for Spain to attain. Soon he was dead In the river-bottom bed- All this he did in honor of Spain. --Be tty Fisher MARCO POLO Marco Polo went far away To seek the wealth of old Cathay. Strange talcs he told Of jewels and gold. His fame endures to this very day.. ---Shirley Carter COLUMBUS Columbus sailed the ocean blue To find a better land so new ; And there against the horizon clear - Was seen an isle, our land so de ar - He made the trip in a small caravel, Sped on his way by Queen Is abellc , So now Columbus ' name wo hail — He refused to turn back- so how could he fail? --Frances Gugino DRAKE Drake was a pirate — A crude man was he ; He robbed and plundered On every sea. He was worshipped and crowned Near Drake ' s Bay- Then homesick he turned And sailed away. —Lucicn Pas set VASCO DA GAMA Here ia a jingle of a man long ago — His name was da Gama, from Portugal, you know; A southern route to Asia had not been found, But Portugal was interested and sent some ships down, They looked for a passage all the way round, Then came Vasco, and he went to town . --Doris Airaksincn M a aqqajadasuq pua 0 uo joa 0 joj pun mou ‘uoqun pun Aqjaqqq,, II«OOM- snmoqj-- ♦pooqsjapun uaaq s An AX 13 snq Suqunaui sqx ‘pooS jo pas sq aSnssam sqq joqqatpn qng ‘aqaq jo aSns -saw a Ajjuo a am dinars y ♦ajoqs uq no A joj sunqd Mau Slit qq ox a jo ‘ajoqs qunqsqp auios oo. dqjq a s,qq sdaqjaj ISuqs oq Suos a jo s Aau pooS Suqjq Anm qq !

In his geography; The lands are painted rain- bow bright; The blue is for the sea, And in each foreign country there Are children that do not look like me. Of course their clothes are not like mine; Their hair is different too ; At dinner time they never eat The kind of food I do, And playtime here is bed- time there. They are happy just the same . I think it would be lots of fun If we could know each other That ' s why I ' m going to take a boat, And sail it by a star, Until it bumps against the shore Where all these children are . --Rurie Mizuhara HALLOWS ' EM I like to dress up on Hal- lo we ' en , And stay up late till the witches scream. Black cats on broom sticks go riding by, High up in the frosty sky.

There in Yosemite are five great falls, The sides of Yosemite are like great walls. It is fun to walk on Yosemite ' s trails, And to watch the bears with stubby tails, Yosemite is the park I know , There you can see lots of water flow. Sometime I would like to climb Half Dome, And have lots of fun at the top of the dome. --Rurie Mizuhara OUR NAVY The Navy are the present knights They watch our shores like guiding lights. They appreciate democracy, For they have sailed all Seven Seas . --Corr ine Sepulveda LUTHER BURBANK Now Luther Burbank was a man , Who all the plants could cure , He was called a ' Plant Wizard , For all his work was sure. He worked for years upon one plant, And people said ‘he was silly, But after many ' years of work, He made a beautiful lily. Now Burbank had ' a little saying, And a smile he ' d always wear , His saying was Be patient- ly waiting , And always remember watch- ful care. He has become ver y f am ou s , Thr ough the £3 reat work he has d one , So we pi ace h im ' w ith other he ro es , For the hon or s he has won. - -F.u la Had jopoulos ONE APR II. ' NIGHT One night, while we were sitting around the fire place, there came a sudden knock. It was Paul Revere telling us that the British were coming. ' Path er got down his gun and powder horn and hurried a- way. Later he came home and told us how the Brit- ish had been defeated, and our freedom saved. --Doreen Vigna Dear Friend, If you are to move to Berkeley I sincerely hope you will choose to live near the Burbank School so you can join us all. Bur- bank has the following things to offer: a good location, the best sports 1 floor in the junior highs, a cafeteria which serves the best of food, and a library that is brand new and is the best around th is district. We have student government. I want to explain student government to you. If any crimes arc committed, the of f ender receives a ticket from a traffic officer. He appears in front of a judge. If he is found guilty he serves a certain amount of detentions, as a penalty, after school. We elect our own presidents and officers. Your friend, William Irving CHRISTMAS MORN The night before Christmas, All eyes watched the clock, Awaiting dear Santa, To fill up each sock. When Christmas morn comes; All folks watch with glee, To see all the children, Run down to the tree. Unwrapped is each package, And out comes the toys, Then none are so happy, As the girls and the boys. --Rula Kadjoponlas CLASS OFFICERS L7-1 President, Phyllis Hughes; Vice-president, George Karagianis; Secre- tary, Camille Parker; As- sistant Secretary, Shirley Gay; Treasurer, Edward Gallardo; Student Council, Shirley Stapel and Richard Crane; Sports Captains, Jean Gordon, Robert Bak- ker; Assistant Sports Cap- tains, Jacqueline Nail, Harold Oversen.

He got them from many different countries . In summer when the fruit trees were getting fruit he watched each tree until the fruit had ripened. He sometimes worked for a couple of years on an experiment. Sometimes they failed but he never gave up. He kept on try- ing, ? There is now a potato named the Burbank potato, Burbank School is also named after Luther Burbank, --Oliver Nickel ${ ' A I a ' ' V Mother: John, don ' t behave like a baby.

The debate lasted about a week. The nega- tive had twenty-one on their side and the affirm- ative had only eight but they won, twenty-one to seventeen points. --Sylvia Shiman THE FAREWELL PARTY The Low Seven Threes gave a farewell party to Daphna Mainard who moved to East Oakland. She was well -liked by every one and we were all sorry she had to leave. We all hope she will return some day. We played games such as, Draw the tail on the cat, and Consequences. Ted Brown, Lois Rogers, Bertha Foo , and Bruce Coons were in charge of the games. Bessie Faytis, Florence Nakata, Eugene Pretti and Orville Krieger had charge of the refreshments. We had lots of fun. Beverly Myers made a cake and it was very good. We had other cakes, too. Some of us brought cookies and some candy. We all put in a little mone 3 - so that we could buy some ice cream. --Frances Hollenbeck 4H : ihhhhhh: •::: r-s : : r - « Question: I am many colors. I touch the ground many times. What am I?

That hymn is written for all men; Men that live in the land of Kith and Kin. The weak sing their song That world will live very long. --Fob Hodgson THE SUN The sun that shines so bright so bright, It doesn ' t shine in the night the night.

Answer : The pill goes down and the hill goes up. --Lily Gutierrez MY FATHER ' S OCCUPATION My father works here in Berkeley as a landscape gardener. His work is to landscape new gardens and lawns. His work is very interesting because he comes in contact with f lowers , trees, and shrubs which are very beautiful. There are plants that you are not supposed to wet. In fruits it is a tomato plant. If you wet a tomato plant the bush will start dying and the tomatoes will not be good. In bushes it is thb rose. If you wet a rose bush, you will make the wax come off and the bugs will come, The right way is to spray on water with a spray. One time I went to work with my father when he was trimming a lemon tree, I was putting the cuttings in a pile. All of a sudden I stuck myself with a lemon thorn, and that ' s how 1 found out that there was a thorn on a fruit tr ee. --Etsuko Yamamoto MY GROWN -UP FUTURE When I grow up I would like to be a dress designer.

The boys played very good ball but came out on the short side of the score. The following boys played and won their B’s: Fred Xavier, Captain; Raymond Denny, Daniel Hastings, James Hubberts, Frank Leal, Dimas Mejia, Felice Olivera, An- gelo Pandolfo, Albert Streuli, Bill Thom- as, Richard Thomas, and Jesus Vasquez. Noon Time Activities For Boys The teams that play at noon time at the gym yard are from different advis- ories. Once in a while a team scheduled to play does not show up at the required time, which is the first bell, and the game is forfeited to its opponent. When a for- feiture occurs, a team is chosen from the boys in the gym yard and a game goes on as scheduled. A game is automatically stopped when the first passing bell is rung, and the team ahead at that time is the winner. At the end of each season, championship games are played which determine the champions of each grade. In most sports, games are played at the end of each season by the champions of each grade to determine the champions of the junior and senior divisions of Bur- bank Junior High School. — Nick Veliotes Burbank Activity To encourage interest in things besides regular routine at school is the purpose of activities.

Our visitor was Mr. Howard Pease, the well-known writer who spoke to us in the library. He told us how he got his stories from sailing on a tramp steamer with other rough, tough men of the sea. Many of his books are about his trav- els and his life at sea. The Tattooed Man, for instance, is a book he wrote about one of his friends on one of the boats. Long Wharf,” one of his favorite books, is a story about old San Fran- cisco. He wrote many other books such as Jungle River,” Foghorns,” Hurri- cane Weather, and his new book is Black Tanker. We have them all in the library. — B. Nielsen, B. McDermid, B. Norgrove, D. Airaksinen JUNIOR RED CROSS The Burbank Junior Red Cross has been most successful this term. A joint campaign was carried on for new mem- bers for the Red Cross and contributors to the Community Chest. The Burbank students whole-heartedly supported it, and we made a fine showing. Marjorie Wierzbicky, one of the Junior Red Cross Representatives from Burbank, was chosen to act as secretary for the Junior Red Cross work carried on by all the schools of Berkeley. Florence Shim- mel is the other school worker. On October 31, ten Christmas boxes were packed with new toys and delivered give pleasure to the children there. The Low Seven Art classes under Miss Louise Strong made some very attractive favors to be sent to veterans in the hos- pitals at Thanksgiving time. The schools can help to strengthen National Defense by their helpful work in the Junior Red Cross. — Florence Shimmel DADS ' CLUB On October 24, 1941 the Dads of Bur- bank were entertained by a group of stu- dents and by the men of the faculty.

Mr. White awarded the prizes for the best composi- tion on What to do with the hundred dollars. Stanley Gosby, the winner of the three dollars, suggested the estab- lishing of a Hobby Shop in Burbank. Winners of the dollar prizes were Betty Breuer, Gloria Martin and Jean Yetter. The men of the faculty entertained us with A Mystery Number. It was a play about a typical Hill-Billy family in the Ozarks. The laughter and applause proved that the Dads and their children enjoyed themselves. — Josephine DiRienzo, Lily Wong GOVER MEN T COURT One of the student activities of which we are justly proud is the court. Court meets twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays, eighth period. The object of the court is not to see how many detentions it can give during the term but to see that everyone is justly heard and tried. The court is composed of ninth grade pupils. The H9’s control the court and next year the present L9’s will. The four secretaries who prepare the cases are Josephine DiRienzo and Phyllis Jackson of the H9, June Calais and Patsy Bottone of the L9. Without these secre- taries our court could not run smoothly. Court officers who keep order and serve on escort duty are Jac Wyman of the H9, Robert Pairman, Robert Davis, Daryl Dangerfield, Conrad Kwasnicki, and Warren Keltner of the L9. Lee Newall, one of the H9 judges, has been ill most of this t erm. Tony Cannizzo, the other H9 judge, has carried on with the help of the two low junior judges, Seth Tenis and John Erdelatz. — Josephine DiRienzo The Burbank Junior High “Y” The Junior High Y” is a boys’ or- ganization, carried on through the school and the Y.M.C.A. The purpose of the Y” is to create, maintain, and extend throughout school and the community, the high standard of Christian character. The “Y gives splendid opportunities for the fellow who wants to take advantage of it. Mr. Frick, a shop teacher, and Mr. Woods from the Y.M.C.A. lead our meet- ings and excursions. We meet every Thursday at a member’s house, or at school. The new members are elected by the present members.

Usually we meet Mondays with Mr. Swineford. Wednesdays we drill in the yard with Officer Simpson and Mr. Carl- son. We did something this year never done before. We elected Robert Moorhead, President of the Student Council, an hon- orary member of the Traffic Commission so as to coordinate problems that con- cern both the Council and our organiza- tion. Besides directing the daily street and school traffic we kept order at the soap- drawing contest on Halloween when the merchants of West Berkeley gave prizes for clever drawings.

Under the leadership of Mrs. Rhodes, the Senior Chorus takes part in many school programs. It meets twice a week in room 13. It is here on Tuesday and Friday eighth period that we practice our songs. The Senior Chorus affords many op- portunities for talented pupils. We have performed for P.T.A. and the Burbank Music Festival. Small groups have performed for Dads’ Club and Christmas assemblies. — Earline Evans The Dance Orchestra This organization rates as an outstand- ing group with a membership of fourteen players. It takes the best players in the band and orchestra to hold a position in the dance orchestra, as they play stock orchestrations which are used by profes- sional instrumentalists. The program runs about four to five afternoon dances a term, playing latest dance hits. One must not forget to mention the splendid con- tributions offered by many singers, who sang with the orchestra over the micro- phone. THE BAND Our band is composed of exactly sixty boys and girls. Recently there have been many new members. They are working very hard now for the coming concert in January. The orchestra and the band will combine with the Drum Corps and a splendid performance is expected. As al- ways, the old members are looking for- ward to the different May festivals at the elementary schools. There is also the State Music Contest which is held every year. Up to date we have received a good -ating and we hope this continues. — Jeanne Baugh JUNIOR CHORUS The Junior Chorus consists of about sixty-five fine boys and girls chosen from L7, H7, and L8 classes.

OUR DRUM CORPS With ninety-two members, the Drum and Bugle Corps is swinging into its third colorful year. Each semester finds the corps stronger in the number of members and musical ability. This year we have added two more bell lyras and are now using twenty-two piston bugles in addi- tion to the regular bugles; while another outstanding feature is that it is the only junior corps having tymp drums, which are the ones with the metal bottoms. One of the finest outings this semester was the opportunity to perform at the Army-Navy football game in the Cali- fornia Memorial Stadium after marching in the huge Armistice Day Parade in Oak- land. Our major domo is Elma Greer, as- sisted by her two trailers, Lois Kemline and Helen Ornberg. Mr. Blanchard is our director. On the thirty-first of October another cup was added to our trophy case, it was a nine-inch gold cup surmounted by a figuerine of a drum majorette in gold. Stu- dents are invited to go up to the Quarter- master ' s room in the science building near the print shop and see the trophy case. • — Gene Ross A 0 1 O G R A P H S
