Pleasants Eleanora Hawkins Before choosing its officers for this year, the senior class of ' 52 thought long and hard. As we thought, this old and familiar saying came to our minds, Variety is the spice of life . Per¬ haps you are wondering how this saying fits into this particular picture. Well, look at the offi¬ cers which we finally chose and you will see what we mean. Aside from their ability, dependa¬ bility, and efficiency they displayed other qualities which attracted us. Pictured from right to left are: ANN FARRAR, President, who is tops when it comes to possessing a magnetic personality. BERNARD WASHINGTON, Vice-President, who is a cooperative chap, with both muscles and brains. CARRIE WALKER, Secretary, who is a generous, kind, spreader of goodwill. THERESA CARTER, Assistant-Secretary, whose versatility makes her well- known among her schoolmates. HERMAN STEPPE, Treasurer, who is a living example of Honesty is the best policy. NATHANIEL MOSBY and ARTHUR MEADOWS, Business-managers, who are always busy; reliable at all times. FRANK WILLIAMS, Sergeant-at-arms, who is our Sampson of ' 52 . BEAUREGARD PAYNE, Chaplain, whose cleverness and wit keep his school¬ mates amused. Believe it or not, he can be serious when necessary.

It can boast of a heritage which is rare, for our class is composed of students from three distinct and separate schools, joined together as one. On September 3, 1951 we entered Jackson P, Burley with high hopes and fresh minds, ready to start a grand and glorious year. At first some of us were total strangers to each other, but this did not last long for before we knew it, we were organized as one big class with common problems, ideals and plans. Mrs. Alma Pleasants and Miss Eleanora Hawkins were our sponsors. We selected our officers and were ready to start planning for our big event, graduation. The first big issues to claim our attention were the selections of class rings, invitations, and a style of robe to be used for graduation. This dispensed with, we then started making plans for our yearbook by choosing the staffs and assigning duties. But not all of our time was spent in planning. Some of us entered into other ac¬ tivities; such as, sports, dramatics, music, the student council, the y-teen club, and all other clubs and organ izations of the school. In most of these activities, seniors filled the leading roles and assumed the greatest amount of responsibility. A few of the seniors entered the scholarship contest offered for the sons and daughters of the Masonic Lodge members; others entered essay and oratorical con¬ tests sponsored by various civic organizations of the community. Other community activities in which the seniors played a big part were a comedy, Star Light Star Bright, sponsored by the Charlottesville Players Guild and a radio program arranged by the Interfraternal Council of Charlottesville. These activities gave the seniors a well rounded school term for the year of ' 51 52 which turned out to be a really successful year for the first graduates of Jackson P. Burley High School. CLASS POLIH OUR PARTING The hour has come and found us To tell us it ' s time to part; Tho we ' re no longer students of Burley, Its memories will live in our hearts. For the powers that be have ordered The last days of school life ' s achieving; Tomorrow will record as history Our sad, reluctant leaving. We ' ve been true to our alma mater. And the end indeed is not sweet. We have waved our sacred colors Up and down every street. We have cheered with every victory For those who conquered our foe. And, tho we hate to leave you, Burley, it ' s now time to go. Athletics has lost its glitter. Our laurels we ' ve all forgot; Dramatics no longer charms us. And debate allures us not. At last our hours are numbered! Sad is each beating heart. The outside world is beckoning. And we are forced to part. Our principal worked with us nobly; Every teacher did the same. Even the juniors tried to help us. As we daily went and came. Dear Burley High, nevermore You ' ll see our forms, hear our voices; For we who knew no strains before Will join the throng that rejoices. We give to you, our Burley High, Our farewells, true and fond. Our hearts, turned cold and lifeless, Ne ' ermore to your warmth respond Oh Burley, only the future can tell Of our pure love in song and story With this adieu we leave with you A promise of eternal glory. By Mildred Jones THE GREEN AND GOLD By Mildred Jones Pure as gold may we forever Keep our hearts along life ' s way. While Truth ' s golden sunbeams sever All the black clouds from our day. May the green, so fresh and stainless. Keep us ever true and clean; May our lives be long and painless. Guarded by our gold and green. Gold and green go with us ever. As in ideal of our dreams. May we find that life tomorrow Is worthwhile as it seems. May we each accept the missions Fate will thrust upon our scene. Surely, whatever their conditions. Victory ' ll crown our gold and green. CLASS SONG Tune Sweet Genevieve O Burley Hi, Dear Burley Hi The time has come that we must part, l ond memories of days gone by Shall ever linger in our hearts. (Air hearts are filled with thoughts of Thee nd dreams of conquests yet to be, hith faith and courage by thy might For Ihou hast cast a shining light. 1 ii teachers, friends and classmates all he ' ll miss the happy hours we ' ve dwelled, Within thy noble stately walls he ' ll think of the Dear School, Farewell.

Marion: Are you a pessimist Bootney ? Bootney: No that ' s a bird. Mrs. Smith: (thinking he said verb ) -no that ' s a noun. Teacher: Terrell why are you shivering? The weather is warm.

Now, Payne, what tense would it be if you said, My father has money. Payne: Pretense. Mrs. Rowe: Bootney, why is the soil fertility decreasing even though the population is increasing? Bootney: Because so many houses are being built that there isn ' t room for the ani¬ mals to fertilize the soil. Mrs. Rowe: Tie the string to the seat, Monroe, and then sit in it to keep the shade down. Monroe: Suppose I go up when the shade goes up. Meadow: You didn ' t eat your breakfast this morning Ann: Gosh this salad certainly has a lot of dirt in it. Marion: Oh that doesn ' t matter. It was just picked from the garden. Ann: Yeah, but I want to eat the salad not the garden. OFFICERS EllVEIlH GRADE President.John Pleasants Vice President.Alice Moore Secretary.Louise Howard Treasurer...

Bryant, attempted to make itself felt throughout the school this year. Its primary aims were to encourage student participation and leadership and to provide opportunities for student government. The year began with the election of President and Vice-President of the Council, Delorise Gee and Thelma Currenton, by the student body. The other officers were elected by the council at its first meeting: Secretary.Theresa Carter Assistant Secretary.Ann Terrell Treasurer.Beauregard Payne The accomplishments of the Student Council were numerous. Some of the outstanding ones were: 1. Assisted the Athletic committee in choosing Color Combinations to be voted on as school colors. 2. Appointed a welcoming committee to greet visiting teams. 3. Sponsored a social as part of the homecoming festival. 4. Arranged for a Christmas Lunch Celebration. 5. Assisted in the seating arrangement in the cafeteria. 6. Assisted the Athletic Committee by selling concessions at the basketball games. 7. Organized a Student Patrol. 8. Arranged for a student Valentine ' s Dance. 9. Presented an Assembly Program. 10. Assisted in the Dedication Exercises. Our Student Council affiliated with the state body and attended the convention in Petersburg, Virginia, on April 19, 1952. It led one of the discussions on the agenda, How may the Student Council Contribute to Moral and Spiritual Values in the School? . Thelma Currenton was the discussion leader’ and Theresa Carter, the discussion Secretary. Both attended as delegates from our council. We hope that in the Future that the Council will be even more active than it has been this past year. Til MIHD CITE CHORUS The Jackson P. Burley mixed chorus is one of the most active organizations of the school. Under the direction of Mrs. V. B. Wilson the chorus aims, through the medium of music, toward the development of the seven Cardinal Principles of Education: (1) Health. (2) Command of the fundamental processes. (3) Preparation for Vo¬ cations. (4) Preparation for Worthy home membership. (5) Worthy use of leisure time. (6) Civic education. (7) Ethical character. Having organized with a membership of fifty voices, the group set up the follow¬ ing objectives: 1. To build a repertoire of varied musical selections so that we may better serve the school and community. 2. To continuously plan for improvement through the study of musical literature and singing skills, and through critical listening. 3. To plan activities that will provide recreation for members of the community. This spring, the chorus plan s to present a concert and an operetta in the school auditoi ' ium. After these events, we have been invited to sing in several communities ot ibis state. TIE mm BAND The Jackson P. Burley High School Band consists of thirty-five members, pre¬ dominantly eighth graders, who are playing instruments for the first time. The membership is expected to swell to fifty by October, 1952.

Secretary Alice Lockett.Assistant Secretary Bernard Washington.Treasurer Edith Johnson.Assistant Treasurer Most of the work done by the Dramatics department was done in the respective groups, working as individual units. In each group an attempt was made to give instruction on the various areas of the theatre; such as general stare rules, cos¬ tuming, make-up, stage properties, band properties, lighting, and stage setting. Attention was also given to the study of types of plays and playwrignts, dramatiza¬ tions, pantomimes, play-reacting, and play-writing.
