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
