Each student is expected to take at least eighty minutes of gymnasium work each week unless some defect prevents. - FJ we Our fine picturesque stadium, the best in the middle west, our excellent equipment, and, above all, the personnel of our coach- ing staff, tend to increase its popularity. The girls, are gifted with hav- ing one of the best-liked instructors who can be found. On the other hand, the boys are by no means excelled in this respect. The head coach is one of the few outstanding coaches in this section, and his two assist- ants are of very high merit. The girls have their class basketball, baseball and volleyball teams, which compete' each year for the championship. Many girls are interested in these various sports. Football, basketball and track are the major sports in which the boys participate. In these phases of athletics Burlington has always been out- standing. It is a great honor to represent the school on a team, and many boys have this honor as their aim throughout their school careers. 3 Other sports, such as tennis, tumbling and miscellaneous games, are also given a prominent place in the Athletic Department.

It .is divided 5: figggif into several different sect ons, such as Wood-working, Print- ing, Mechanical Drawing, Molding and Cabinet Making. It O CIW? is under the leadership of .a very efficient instructor, and J 'NNW has done a notable piece of Work in every field with which it has come in contact. Boys who do not desire to indulge in the 'Sciences and Languages prepare for factory and architectural work. Many boys have received recognition just after leaving high school due to their valuable study in this line. One of the things that has made this possible is the equipment that is used. Latest and most efiicient ma- chines are provided and through careful guidance the products are of great merit. On the whole, the Manual Training Department, with its fine in- structors, is a very well directed and popular phase of the Burlington High School curriculum. Since this book has gone to press, this department has lost its leader, Mr. Barnes. As supervisor of industri.al education. in the city, as in- structor of psychology and engineering drawing in the Junior College, and as chairman of the high school' Athletic Association, he touched many lives. A man of ability, vision, and understanding, the students of Burlington High School will miss Mr. Barnes, both as an instructor and as a friend. Page Twenty-two

M ' Music Department of the Burlington High School has gained a distinguished reputation in past years through its fgfb excellent performances, and this year has continued its good and efficient Work. This could not have been so thoroughly accomplished if Ag TXVTQJA our capable instructors had not been so willing to co-operate with the students. Throughout the school year various Wind and string sections have rehearsed at least once a week. Miss Carder has worked vigorously with her students, training their voices and teaching them word pronunciation. The instrumental department is supervised by Mr. Anthony Abbanatt, assisted by Miss Dorothy Baumle, and the vocal department by Miss Lorane Carder, assisted by Miss Genevieve Lee. The purpose of the or- ganization of such a department is for a greater appreciation of music. The orchestra was presented in its very fine annual concert. As a result of this year's training it has been aided by the development of a strong string section. The band has played for all athletic games and has added much ,to its reputation as an outstanding high school band. A The vocal group has been greatly benefited by the free singing les- sons, which every' student interested may obtain. These lessons are given after school and have .added much to the success of the department. This group has again sponsored a very successful operetta. Page Twentyefour
