Prerident-jim Russell Prerident-Marc Anderson Secretary-Gay Baxter Trearurer-Ethel Frost The Student Council under the leadership of Marc Anderson, Student Body President, worked quite hard on the one big project of the year, tlze change of the school name. The problem was to accomplish this in a manner that would not cause too many unsatisfied students. Members of the council also attended the Spring Convention at Bend, Oregon and took an active part in it. Projects, concessions, plays, etc., are all a part of the job of this organization and it was very well supervised by the advisor, Mr. Higgins. This form of Student Government proved to work out very well and we are sure that the council next year will do as well as this one this year and the school problems will be solved just as well. Other members of the Student Council were: Barbara Stewart, Sally Jennings, Sandra Smith, kay Dalton, Ladora Davis, Dauna Scott Field, Doris Skiens, Scott Maitland, Frank Dunn, Melvin Nygaard, Scott Russell, Tom Howser, Gaylen Cawlfield.

Dorothy Howes, second year journalism student, served as editor during the first semester. Gay Baxter filled the number one spot during the spring term. Kay Dalton did yeoman duty as assistant editor through the entire year. Other members of the staff were: Shirley Bagley, Sue Kidd, Saundra Branson, Karl Jacobs, Doris Caskey, Norma Morris, Olga Wood, Dick Fishback, and Bill Routon. Karl Jacobs, not pictured B6Uf0'U1t8l1f Mr. Williams Frank ,Dum Adviror Prerzdemf This year the Lettermen of Burns High School, with Nile Williams and Cal Farley fnot picturedj as their advisors were very active in keeping good conduct in the halls and in the gym. They held a meeting every other week to punish any of the offenders of their rules. Among some of their events of the year was the initiation of their new mem- bers in the fall and their Lettermerfs Dance following it. Frank Dunn, their presi- dent, helped make it a very successful year for the Lettermen's Club. Jwnlifew, The Tumbling Team, under the direction of Miss Nortcm has been very active in school and town. The Team consisted of Deloris Clark, Deanna Branson, Delores Cork, Glenna Hughet, Gay Baxter, Kay Dalton, Shirley Bossuot, Phyliss Gentry, Janice Thompson, Billie Appling, Norma Olson, Charlotte Davis, Dorthy Shockley, and Mary Rhea. The girls participated in the Bobby Burns Program and the Elk Children's Program, They also tumbled at Vale and Bend. Q. .a. The Girls Athletic Association participated in numerous activities throughout the school year under the leadership of Sally Jennings, Pre- sidentg Shirley Bagley, Vice'Presidentg and Charlotte Davis, Secretary- Treasurer. The advisors were Miss Norton and Miss Crawford. The girls were kept busy with many different and interesting sports. We gave a HOBO Dance December 15, 1952. The queen and king of the dance were Anita Cobb and Pete Clemens. Among other activities enjoyed by all, was the tumbling team and the Elks Children night performances. glep, Hkpfpew, 'rw 3 ?'P'1 in-ww, W My-f JX' The Scotch Plaid Drill Team PEP PEPPERS under the leader- ship of Miss Crawford and Sally Jennings participated in the Harney County Fair and at the football and basketball games. The trip which the Pep Peppers usually take to another school was postponed this year because of lack of time. 1 gi If 0' Sfpanioh ty.

Each person attending .the dance was given a miniature Mexican hat. Pronto pups and Spanish Tequila were served for refreshments. Officers were President, Kay Daltong Vice-President, Gay Baxterg Sec. Treas., Ladora Davis. Mr. jobe was the club's Advisor. ' ' .Beague Cadinet Miss Anderson was Girl's League advisor for 1952-53. She helped the girls very faithfully in all their projects. The two most important projects this year were the Thanksgiving baskets and the Christmas Dance. Norma Morris was chairman for the Thanksgiving baskets. Eight baskets were literally heaped with food for donations of charity. Under the Chairmanship of Kay Dalton the inside of the gym was beautifully decorated to represent a Christmas tree. The tables were decorated to represent huge packages under the Christmas tree and balloons were hung as ornaments. There has been a girl chosen each month, from a different class, who did extra work on school activities. This girl receives as an honor award, a necklace, with her name engraved thereon.

Not only was the play received well by the audience but the cast had an enjoyable time putting it on. Performances were given on the evenings of April 29 and 50 under the direction of Mr. Carothers. The proceeds from these were given to the Class treasury to be used for the Prom. J , .T,ep,p2w, Qance April Showers, the theme of the Pep Peppers Dance, was carried out in very elab- orate decorations. The en- trance was a small pond and rock garden. Small flowers, and parasols hung from the ceiling to make it even more effective. The dance was reigned over by Phyllis Gentry the queen, and Eldon Hart, the king. The evening was filled with events, and ended as a very successful dance. Some Fun! Peekaboo !

A polio epedemic in early season supposedly necessitated the cancelling of all dis- trict contests, although two district opponents forfeited games to Burns. Many observers felt the contingentgrepresenting Harney Co. this past fall was the strongest eleven ever produced at Burns Union High School. These speculations appeared to be borne out when Crook County High, with whom we regularly wage district warfare,-and whom pro-season predictions cast as co-favorites with the Bulldogs, went on to win the state A-2 chamj ionship. The squad was led by Frank Dunn, senior all-state halfback who was selected for the National High School All-American team and nomi- nated to play in the East-West game at Memphis in August, 1953. The four games we eventually did play were all lop-sided wins for the canines. The loss of such stellar men as Dunn, Eldon Hart, guardg Marc Anderson, endg and Scott Maitland, quarterbackg by graduation will be felt, but a strong nucleus is returning, and a good season is predicted for next ear. Y Burns' four wins this year ran the Bulldogs consecutive won record Lo eleven, dating back to Oct. 1951.

Starting off fine by winning the annual jamboree in Redmond in early December and our opening league encounter with lakeview by 13 points, the Bulldogs hit a snag, and in the course of the season, lost 7 ball games by 3 pts. or less. They were beaten by as much as ten points only twice and at the season's close could boast an even split with the league champion, Redmond, district champion Lakeview, and decisive victories over Frosh. Teams from the College of Idaho and Eastern Oregon College of Education. Coach Nile Williams is not crying over the experience gained by the junior dominated squad this season and expects good results next season. Lost from the varsity squad will be seniors Marc Anderson, center, Wally Comegys, forward, Ralph Sawyer, guard, Frank Dunn, forward, and jerry Weeks guard. Co..-ned by Cal Farley, and running pellmell up and down Central Oregon Courts, the junior Varsity compiled an enviable won and lost record of 15 wins and 3 losses this past season. Together with the Frosh. 8-0 record this seems to indicate good things to come for Burns High Basketball. llbneatfing The 1953 wrestling team won the Central Oregon Wrestling Tournament and the big trophy that goes with it. jr. boys that went to the sta.e contest were: Leonard Johnson, Scott Maitland, Rollin Thorne, Mike Scott, Dan Davidson, Tom Howser, Eldon Hart, Ben Macomber, Butch Whitman. The season's record was as follows: 7 wins, 1 lost to Bend. 2 with Redmondg 2 with Prinevilleg 2 with Craneg 1 with Bend. Started Jr. Varsity wrestling to build a real wrestling team. .93aoe5a22 The baseball team started off this year in very good shape and for awhile it looked like it would be the fourth staight year that Burns would be District Champs but by the end of the season the baseball team lost out to Prineville. A solid veteran line-up that even this season does not include a senior makes coaches Cal Farley and Nile Williams smile when they think of next season's trials and tribulations. ', U The All Star Volleyball Team played two games with Crane. They postponed a game with Harper because of bad weather. The team under the management of Miss Norton in- cluded: Sandra Smith, Kay Dalton, joy Miller, Ladora Rhea, Norma Olson, Carolyn Long, Gay Baxter, Charolette Davis, Shirley Bossot, Mildred Basey, Norma Morris, Fay Woodr The 1952 Baseball nine Won the Cen- tral Oregon League Championship and the state district 8A-2 championship. They played Albany in the quarter finals of the state play-offs and although defeated by the perennial powerful Big Six Champs in a two out of three series, the defeats were made much easier to swallow, in that Al- bany went on to win the state Champion- ship. It was a very successful season con- sidering the sophomore, studded line-up and baseball prospect for the next two years are excellent. fifwp leo, In the dingy halls of B. U. H. S. shines a trophy, the only District Champion trophy the High School received this year. It is a bright spot in our sports world of 52-53. Witli a total of 55 points racked up in one afternoon and evening the wrestlers won the district tournament. Redmond, Bend, Crane, and Prineville will not forget that the boys from Burns are tough. Our season record will point that ou . Veterans of 3 years battles reaped many of the points. Although new men contributed their just share Next year we shall also brighten the halls of our alma-mater.

Class advisors were Mr. Higgins, Mr. Brown, Miss Collins. During the year the Seniors worked at many basketball concessions and gave several dances for the school, One of the largest projects of the seniors was their Senior Class Play, Mother Was A Freshman. A few outstanding Seniors were Marc Anderson, Student Body President, Duanna Scott Field, Ladora Davis Rhea, and Phylis Gentry, Student Body Cheerleaders. Marc Anderson and Doris Skiens were Vale- dictorian and Salutatorian. After a delayed start the Seniors concluded their activities with their Senior Sneak to Sea Side. Word was that everyone had a very enjoyable time including the chaperones.

We hereby take this time to leave our former teachers, books, unfavorable surroundings, abilities and former grudges. To the Student body we leave those that didn't graduate this year. To the faculty we leave all our precious notes in our books on one condition. Please preserve them as our names will go down in history. To the juniors we leave all our old social economics tests. Nobody passed them, but maybe they will be of some good. Also, we leave all the Korny jokes from Kribs' Korner. ' To the Sopliomores we leave our ability to get good grades. CI don't think any more need be said about that, as you will find out differently, from your teach- ers.j To the Freshmen we leave our congratulations on winning the Soph-Frosh Olympics. Do one thing for us, will you? Dont ever let the Sophomores forget that glorious day. I, Frank Layola, will my ability to guess at Mr. Krib's questions to George Nobel. P. S. School will never be the same when Frank leaves. I, Wfarren Denstedt, will my curly locks to Don Geer. Keep them in good condition with HALO , the shampoo that glorifies your hair. I, Joy Miller, will my ability to get along with one and all to Dicki Gibson. Here is hoping she will use the ability better than I did.

Hlzaaphecy, 1953 One day in the summer of 1970, I, Sandra Smith, was sitting in my rocking chair on the front porch. of my secluded' dude ranch, when who should I see coming down the road but my old chum since school days, Barbara Stewart. She had made her fortune as a career woman and had now come back to visit her old home town and to attend the lectures given by the world famous philosopher Marc Anderson on Why a Dog Has Fleas . Traveling with Marc is his press agent and old classmate Melvin Nygaard. ' She joined me on the porch and we began exchanging gossip. On her way over she ran into Senator Scott Maitland and his secretary, Phyllis Gentry. Scott is promot- ing a vigorous campaign to change the national flag from Stars and Stripes to Scotch Plaid. We chuckled as we recalled by gone memories of our old fued back in '53 on the Scotch Plaid theme. Do you know what happened to some of our other classmates Z asked Barbara. Guess what , I explained, jerry Harris married a school teacher yesterday, it seems to run in the family. Speaking of being married what happened to Dauna Field and Ladora Rhea? Barbara asked. I then replied, They are neighbors, still living here in Burns. just then a black convertible came to a screeching stop. We immediately recog- nized the occupants of this sleek vehicle as Carl Wilke, Jack Miller, and Eugene Francis. We soon learned that they were co-owners' of a burlesque theater in Prine- ville. The star of their show was Evelyn Laughlin now known as Lula Belle Laughlin. They did not stay long as they had to meet Karl Jacobs the proud owner of the Hurdy-Gurdy Girdle Factbryf' While sauntering back to the porch Barbara asked me what happened to Billie Rae Ap-pling. I told her that she was an old maid, but still looking for her ideal. Barbara's interest in this bit of news stimulated our love for the latest gossip and soon I was relating to her all the latest antics of the dear old class, of ,53. Wally Comegys and Edward Porten, she said, have been very successful in their Miladies Fashion Shop and they have for a model Lorraine Lambert. Do you remember that promise Carolyn Long made to her boyfriend way back in '53 that' she wouldn't marry him until he became a corporal , Barbara asked me. No,,' I cried, what happened. Nothing, said Barbara, She is still waiting. Frank Dunn I told her is playing professional football and Eldon Hart is staying home and raising pigs for the footballs. JoAnna Westfall has become quite a famous torch singer. Her theme song is 'just a Sailorls Sweetheart' Oh, Barbara replied, And doesnlt Weslie Bougart Bassey just give you thrills in his latest movief, He sure does. Isn't it remarkable how the members of our class have progress- ed I remarked. Did you hear the latest about Frank Layola, Barb said, He has just been appointed Ambassador to Spain. After I had agreed how wonderful this was she asked me if I knew what had happened to Mary Brophey. I told her that she and Weston Write now run a very exclusive motorcycle club in the now booming town of Drewsey. Speaking of Drewseyf' Barbara said, Did you know that Darlene Newell is now married to the mayorf' No I didn't know that but even back in High School she always had a Lot of interest in Drewseyf' Now Benny Gibson and jim Shepherd together own the Roaring Springs. :SA ' z, I .Z ggi, Q - .451 gg 'ri -Hit 'V , - W .W 5' ii ii.:-131.52 - . . . .

It was Tigard's loss and our gain when she transferred here in 1951 after having at- tended school with us before. There was still no change in Doris after the year she was gone, she was still the hard working, industrious type she had always been. Her friends around the school are many and not limited to just here. A job she starts is always done and in the best manner pos- sible. Her grades are outstanding and seem to be made with no effort. It will certainly be a loss to us when Doris graduates. Marc Anderson's academic abilities along with his outstanding physical talents made him an all- around leader in school activities. Besides being the best grade point average in the senior class, Big Marc was an outstanding member of the football and basketball teams and was Student Body Presi- dent. Never has the school enjoyed a better year of student government - with excellent decorum in group meeting under Marc's glidance. Though a bit shy at times, his capable and pleasing personal- ity seems to assure him Success. Doris Skiens S alutalorian T OLSEN FUNERAL HOME BURNS LUMBER CO.
