THE 1939 ORACLE PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR. CLASS Of BUR.GIN HI SCHdDL V X. 3 FOREWORD And now another year has passed,and we,as another Senior Class offer the Oracle as our last endeavor as students at Burgin High School Herein are recorded and pictured the social and academic events of our school days,We refrain from being sentimental for, although we are saying goodbye to persons and surroundings which havo grown dear to us,we are anxious to step out into the world and prove our right to our heritage We realize that wo shall find tears where we expected smiles,but we arc confident that our faith in ourselves and our ideals, together with the philosophy that honesty and hard work will accomplish anything,will guide us through unpleasant situations. So,wc give you tho Oracle of 1939 with the hope that it will serve to bi xl us closer to our Alma Mater. When,beloved Alma Mater, Memory recalls Other days of youth and laughter In thy gracious halls; When thy sons and daughters scattered Turn again to theo. Still thy lamp is brightly lighting Us afar that wo may see. DEDICATION T© MISS SARAH EDITH WILD We,the Senior Glass of Burgin High School, dedicate this issue of the Oracle in sincere respect and admiration for her untiring ef- forts toward the betterment of thi3 school, and for her kindly counsel,ever restdy sym- pathy,and wise leadership through our hlj£h school daysi J.Irvin Huddleston,A.3.

CLASS HISTORY From the beginning our class ha3 been much in evidence.While we were Freshmen we frequen- tly cast admiring glances at our superiors, the seniors,Juniors,and yea,even Sophmores,as wo were inspired by their nonchalance.The first year passed quickly and we studied hard, forever looking forward to the day when we should become Seniors and occupy the front seats in chapel.During our first year we lost Mattie Elkins,Brent Jones and Bert Patrick. Before the year was endod R.V .Lear joined our cla33. V c began our second year with several of the seats vacant as Elizabeth Warner,Gladys Sarge ant. Cl inton Snyder, R.V .Lear, Davis Kurtz, and Jessie Mae Pierce had withdrawn.Margaret Merriman also left us but Janis Lively came to our rescuoiThe second semester J.C.Davis was promoted to the next grade. The third year of our career began,and we wore beginning to acquire the superiorty complex that wa3 in the possession of the Soniors.We found that Janis Lively,Georgia Hager,and Loith Gifford had withdrawn. Raymond Goodlett was promoted to the next : grade but we were joined by Ada Sexton but this gain was lost when Delmer Gaskin with- drew. The fourth and last year has finally ar- rived and now i3 composed of only five girls and four boys of our once large cla33,only two have which passed all twelve years at Burgin,Elizabeth Spaulding and Grover Merri- man. 7c know hot what our future holds,but our aim is high,as we go through life wo shall often recall these happy days at Burgin High. Mary Anne Allcndor CLASS PROPHECY In the year 1949 X was asked to check on the members of the Class of 39,that being the most illustrious'class which has ever graduated from Burgin Highland see what each member was doing. As I started out on my hunt I met Mary Anne Allendcr(now the wife of a Fayette County Farmer) and found that she had kept in touch with several of our classmates-- ’'Surely I have kept up with our classmates, 3ho said in answer to my question. Charles Allen- der,my brother lost his fear of the weaker sex and got married and is now more afraid than ever.Then there is Gwendolyn Sanders,the editor, copy writer,reporter and type setter of our county newspaper, The Harrodsburg Herald , I was just starting to see Grover Merriman, He is suffering from broken bones since he won the world's heavyweight championship over Har- old Bradshaw. In recognition of his namo Lowla Bradshaw has become a preacher and has become so very angelic that he dlarried Elizabeth Sjbaulding and Is doing his best to make an angel out of heri After the fight Harold became a sailor and is now traveling trying to forget women mostly. Margaret Lear has lost all interest In the men and is now trying to win the long flight contest between the North and South Pole in her air- plane,THE G.M, You know,of course,that Ada Sexton has ycilded to her vocal talents and Is now making a movie entitled How� m I Doin� CLASS WILL We,the Senior Class of 1939,will and bequeath -the following articles to wit: Harold Bradshaw leaves his many brains to 'Haney Bennett in hope that she may be able to use them Lewis Bradshaw leaves his fallei� arches to Jack Coleman to fulfill Jack's long wish that he might be shorter. Charles Allender leaves his art of hairdress- ing to Horace Brown to use during Literature Class next year on Homer Hulette. Mary Ann Allender loaves her Arithmetic abili- ity to'Ada Walters,who will probably nev be a genius Ada Sexton leaves her superfluous weiggrt to Jimmie Bradshaw---not that he needs it--- - - Gr - rer Merriman leaves his basketball tdch- nl a ..e !; o ,T. ’.V . V i lh an Gwendolyn Sanders leaves all her secrets fclo� scly guarded by Janet Powell--no one else wovitd understand them. Elizabeth Spaulding leaves her book on How to Make Love to Joyce Ann West. Margaret Lear leaves her many blushes to Betty Sanders---in case Betty ever runs out.
