N0 in one outside the school itself nor even the students can realize ,fa Q5-Jed' what a great amount of mental strain is placed upon those who are at the head of such an educational system. Miss Brooke is one of the most beloved and respected members of our faculty Always, when a student finds himself in trouble of any kind, Miss Brooke can be depended upon to help him out. Mr. Bracewell, although not often coming in very close contact with his students, is very Well liked. He is the most efficient principal Bur- lington High School has ever had. No matter what the crisis, our prin- cipal is always capable of carrying us through. Mr. Brooks, the superintendent of schools throughout the city, is one of the finest superintendents the city has ever had, while Miss Jacobs, dean of Junior College, Mrs. Berquist, head of a very complete and most helpful school library, and Miss Kuepper, all fill their responsible posi- tions with the highest degree of efficiency. The school owes all its successes to this fine department. In fact, the school has no department made up of more dependable and capable members than the Administration Department itself.

THE FACULTY T IS to our teachers, our faithful guides through four years of work and play, that we owe much of our suc- cess in life. Striving endlessly with the less studious, working happily with those better gifted in their studies, they have been willing friends of all during both trouble and happiness. Not only have they endeavored to carry out their duties of teaching us the required curriculum subjects, but they have taught us leadership, honesty, responsibility and co-opera- tion. Always they have hidden their personal feelings and have devoted themselves entirely to what has sometimes been a rather unpleasant task. Their students, who are often very exasperating, have never been sacrificed for their own thoughts. When we think back over these four seemingly short years and remember how mentally immature we were on the day we trembling entered Burlington High School we can realize how very much we owe to the faculty. Those who take the commercial studies are preparing to go out into the field of life, capable of earning a living for them- selves. Those expecting to enter college have passed successfully through these years of preparation only with the help of our ever ready staE of instructors. Not only during school hours have they readily given their time and thoughts, but many have spent hours outside as advisers and coaches of our various school ac- tivities, literary societies and other clubs. At our age we cannot be sufficiently grateful to the faculty, but as we grow older in years and in thoughts we shall begin to give credit unceasingly to the great part our teachers played in making our lives happy and successful.
