HIGH SCHOOL PAPERS The first paper of any kind published by Burnham High School was the News Letter It was a one-page bulletin published by Mr. Sipe and the four Senior Com- mercial girls on November 3, 1927. A special two-page Armistice number, Blue and White, was next put out by the Junior Class. The Seniors followed with a very clever and worth-while six-page edition of The B for Thanksgiving. Two more editions of The B followed at intervals of two weeks. Then a regular and permanent staff was elected from the High School, and the first edition of The Beehive appeared February 10, 1928. These papers were all printed on the mimeograph machine that was presented to the High School by the Class of 1927. FORTY-FIVE

Several new members were added. The orchestra played for the 'Burnham Follies held in the Y. M. C. A. in September, both days of the Elson Art Exhibit, for Miss Smith's Christ- mas Carol service, and for both Parent-Teacher Associations. Music has always had a place in our school. Twice a week we had Chorus practice under the leadership of the music supervisor, Miss Arla C. Smith. The school was so large this year that it was necessary to divide it into two sections, the freshmen using one period, the three upper classes together, the other period. FORTY-FOUR

A beehive is a place where work is done. Go to it when you will and you will see signs of industry. The Bee- hive Was published every two Weeks by a staff elected from the four high school classes.
