BURR OAK HIGH SCHOOL The 1964 school year now belongs to the past, but the design of this Pow Wow is a replica of the golden future. It is designed for reading and enjoyment in years to come. In it, all incidents, activities, and faces are indentified; for years soon blot out names and details. To you we proudly present in this annual, the highlights of this school year; and in years to come these highlights will rekindle those wonderful, wonderful memories. The Pow Wow is a publication of the Journalism Class of Burr Oak High School, Burr Oak, Kansas TM Burr Oak Grade School Building houses grades one through six.

COOKS CORNER Lucille Platt Jessie Knight Making Sandwiches Jessie Knight and Lucille Platt are two of the busiest ladies in school-they're al- ways cooking up something. On each holiday they al- ways stake a special effort to decorate the kitchen win- dow and cafeteria utility table to fit the occasion. The two cooks have been cooking at Burr Oak High School for seven years. Helen McMillan Grade School cooks scrape plates before washing dishes. School Personnel Roy Brandon High School Custodian Clifford McCune Grade School Custodian Cheryl Barnes Secretary Cheryl Barnes Madeline McMains RUS DRIVERS John Morris, Clifford McCune, Ivan McMillan Cleo Morris, Virgil Warner, Lyle Jeffery (Curtis Jeffery, bus driver, is not in the picture.) These are the people behind the scenes who are vital in running a school. Cheryl Barnes who had been a faithful secretary to Burr Oak High School for about seven years left at the end of the first semester. Mrs. Madeline McMains replaced her. The bus drivers who furnish transportation for the students cover about 350 miles daily. The janitors keep things clean and shining. After basketball games and parties, keeping things clean is not an easy task. The 196b school year has b -en packed full activities for the seniors. Most of the seniors have been active in one or more organization or activity during the past four years. During the year the senior class had two parties. In the fall those who were interested in college went to different sites to take the American College Test. In order to raise money the class had concessions durinp one football and one basketball game. On April 17 the class presented the class play. Also members of the class who took English Four participated in several one act play, one of which went to the Pike Trail league one act play contest. Of course the seniors had quite a time discussing and planning for the sneak. ♦ SENIOR CLASS President Connie Fogo Vice-President Merl Reed Secretary and Treasurer Elma Olena Jacqualine Byers Charles Johnson Linda Ross In the sprinp the Seniors looked forward to the Junior-Senior Banquet which the Juniors nresented in honor of the seniors.

CLASS PROPHECY According to the Washington D.C. employment records, we find that the 61 Iiurr Oak graduates have an unusual array of occupations. We notice that Linda Jordan Smith is now happily mar- ried and is the loving den motuer to the Troop 6781 $ brownie Scouts. Jerry Gering is on record as being a famed general of World ..ar III. He is now retired with his pygmy wife in the heart of the African jungle. Thumbing further through the records we see Ruthie 7immer- man is horse trainer on the Circle C. Ranch. Carol Roe is residing in Superior, Nebraska as a beauty onerator, she operates on beautiful neonle. David 'Warner is a carpenter. He con- structs cabinets in the White House. The records also show that Marie Wooten is gaining millions as a chocolate candy sampler. Phyllis Harmon, so the records say, is the warden of Sing Sing. One of the more famous life time residents of Sing Sing is Oren Underwood. Linda Ross is probably the most famous scrub woman e er. She's the only one left. Elma Olena, the head nurse at Blair Hospital, is now going steady with Doctor Kildare. Phil Wilson, in the last national elections, was elected the President's orficial bird watcher. Phil's specialty is watching those Red birds. Merl Dean Reed is the proud grandfather of two sixth grade brats. He was a barber until he cut that man's throat. Jackie Byers is a Phvsical Ed. teacher and a muscle bound bacheloress. Connie Eogo has long been deceased. She was doing a Hertz commercial and missed the car. we find that Jerry Heskett is still a pri-ate in the U.S. Army. Guess what, his son is his commanding officer. Leslie ilson is quite we l known around Washington. He is a professional income tar evad°r. Donald Nelson is unemployed at the present. He was an employment agent, but since he found everybody a job now he has no job. A few years ago Chuck Johnson bought out the Playbov Club and turned it into a hospital for animals, especially for horses. Every age has its favorite actress. The 1990's favorite is Sandra German who sings and gives readings. The favorite commedy team of stage and screen is Larkie Korb and Linda 'West who in show business call themselves, the two Stooges.

Pictures jump- ing up and down! Somebody's crazy—and unfortunately John Maxwell thought it was him. The psychological effect of a letter telling Mr. Max- well his ancestors were Lady Macbethf Sarah the Sparrow, and Jack the Ripper, brought a great deal of chaos into the Maxwell household. Strange visitors, and would-be-magicians, happen to show up just at the wrong time—or was it the right time- to cause complete hysteria. Things do work out, however, for the letter turns out to be a mistake. The Maxwell who was related to the famous murderers was serving a term in prison. The John Maxwell ancestors were prominent Englishmen.
