Behold! The captain of our championship Basketball team. Joe has taken an active part in all athletic activities ever since he was in High School. He has helped the class of '27 in many ways, and to him a glad hand is ex- tended. B. H. S. will surely miss him next year when it comes to Athletics. Our Cl-ass Adviser Our Class Adviser is F. C. Bower, Sometimes sweet and sometimes sourg But if you put him to the test, He will prove as good as the best. He's been with us three long years, And we'll leave him with many tearsg When we were young he took us in And stuck to us thru' thick and thin. In Basketball he showed some speed And wanted us to please take heed. So, just to show we had the vim, We won the Championship for him. His Chevy surely is a wonderful car, Especially when it can travel far. 'Tis but a relic of the ancient pastg When pushed hard enough, 'twill run very In singing, Freddie surely does shineg He has a voice that is better than mine. We know his singing is very good, But at the piano he is some dude. Married is he to a girl of renown And they are living in our towng He can sing and she can play, So they practice together every day. He is surely hard in examination, Which usually bring some perspiration: But in the end if we study more, We'll pass them all with a higher score. He has always treated us fair and square And never once gave us the airg And thus in return, we tried to repay His fairness and squareness in every way. fast. 10.The time of parting now draws nigh He is stern and studious in his work In which he's never known to shirkg But, when it came to play the game He was with us just the same. EIGHTEEN And we will have to say Good-bye! Good luck! dear friend, and much success, And many years of happiness. --Wm. Creighton

Now after twelve years, only thirteen of the fifty-three are left. These Hgures show that we have sus- tained a loss of forty pupils. Some have moved away, while others have gone to work. Three boys of the Class of 1927 started to school a year earlier. Ellis Hamaker started at Newtown in 1914 while Joseph Hunter and Paul Kanour started at Freedom in the same year. One member of the Class, Susan Miller, was picked up in the fourth grade. She camehere from the Red Rock School. The Class of 1927 is the twelfth Class to graduate from the Burnham High School. When the Class of 1916, the first class to graduate, were receiving their diplomas, the Class of 1927 were receiving their first pro- motion. Ordinarily it takes twelve years to complete an elementary and High School education, therefore the Burnham High School has now com- pleted its first cycle of twelve years. On September 3, 1923, thirty-five of us came strolling into High School. Being Freshies, we felt strange in our new environment but after some time we became accustomed to the High School atmosphere.
