Experience: Burnham High School, two years. Mr. Miller is a native of Spring Run, where, in his leisure hours, he assists his father in managing the farm. We have reasons to believe that next year will find him in College completing his education. Lately he has taken a great interest in music, much to the surprise of us all, but, like Postum, there's a reason. FRED C. BOWER, English, Coach of Athletics. Education: Berwick High School: Harrisburg Tech.: Allbright Collegeg Notre Dame University, Summer Course, Pennsylvania State College, Extension Course. Experience: Burnham High School, three years. Mr. Bowers's three years in Burnham have been successful in more ways than one. Under his instruction, the English Department has maintained a high standard. His leadership in Athletics has brought honor to the Burnham High School. He was also successful in finding a wife during his sojourn in Burnham. We understand that Mr. Bower is going to leave us. Our loss will be Camp Hill's gain. Our best wishes will go with him. MARY E. HOWE, Latin, History Education: Lewistown High School, Juniata Ccllege. Experience: Burnham High School, one year.
