At some time during the year, each member of the class was given the opportunity of holding one of the high positions on the staff, such as editor or feature writer. The staff changed positions at the end of each six weeks period, so that each member of the class had expgrience at writing in eveny de- partment of the paper. The BULLDOG HOWLER was published weekly in the local newspaper, the BURKE GAZETTE. Jim Quinn, a member of the class who had served two terms as ed- itor of the HOWLER, was elected vice-president of the newly-organized Rosebud division of the South Iakota High School Press Association at the meeting in Gregory in March.

Bartling, Lelbel, Klas, Fiala AGRICULTURE This year marked the beginning of .Agriculture in the Burke High School. It was realized several years ago that it was a very important vocation, but not until the new high school was built was it possible to organize an agricultural course. During the year, the Agriculture I class has studied production of all farm crops, also the varieties of each crop. The boys have studied ways of controlling soil structure, moisture and erosion, with specific soil management problems. The Agriculture II boys studied animal husbandry, the production, care, and management of all kinds of livestock,.1ivestock diseases, and the Judging of all kinds of stock. The agriculture shop is fitted with two large work tables, cabinet space, and tools for almost any need, making it one of the best shops in the Rosebud.
