Page Two IIEIIIEHTIII We, the Senior class of 1948, feel it a great privilege to dedicate this yearbook, the '48 EL BURRO, to a man who has devoted much time and effort towards the advancement of Sherman E. Burroughs High School. During his tour of duty at NOTS he showed sincereinterest at all times in the well-being of school and students. His untiring attitude toward the betterment of our school endeared him in the hearts of all those who came to know him either personally or through his fine work. Although no longer stationed at NOTS, Commander John T. Hay- ward will always be remembered as a true friend of Burroughs School. Flllillllllllll We, the Senior class of Sherman E. Burroughs High School, take pleasure in presenting the third edition of the EL BURRO, a diary of school activities. The goal of the annual class has been to publish an accurate and interesting account of school life in a new and different manner. We wish to transmit by way of our theme, the newspaper article, the important part teen-agers play in making the news of this com- munity. Class projects, Stall activities, dances, athletic events, Student Council proceedings - many facets in the lives of the students at B. H. S. are portrayed on the pages of this book. We wish to extend you a personal invitation to accompany us on a tour through the fun and frolic of this past year. We sincerely hope that this EL BURRO will be one that you will cherish as a source for memories of one of the best years of your lives. 1 THE EDITORS Page Three IN A LABORATORY WHICH LOOKS OUT ON SAGEBIUSH AND STONY DESERT Hlll5, THREE INYOKERN CHEMISTS EXPERIMENT ON FUELS WITH WHICH TO DRIVE FUTURE SUPERIOCKETS Desert community is center for lu lhm: miulnllc of thc lifeless California ml:-sr-rt, filiinilvs XH'Slfll.DC1lllI V:1llvy,li0S z1modc-v'u,glr-ziln- mg toun of 12,000 pvoplr. ll is xx vonilnlluity of -4-it-ntisls brought logcther hy thc US.

Built over the past four years at a cost of more than S100 million dollars, it is located in the center of a military reservation which covers 1,000 square miles and is almost as large as the state of Rhode Island . . . 'tlnyokernis research program covers everything from fundamental physics to optics but is mainly directed toward the development of rockets . . . The study of cosmic rays and the upper atmosphere is about as 'pure' as research can get. So is the Held of microtime, in which Inyokern scientists are learning how to examine phenomena which occur in a sorh of a millionth of a second . . . Dr. L. T. E. Thomp- son, Inyokern's technical director says, 'Wfhen men finally know without a doubt that to start a war will mean to destroy themselves, there will be no more wars. Pictures of the students on the school grounds and in The Stall were included, and, of course, after pub- lication there was heated discussion. Some objected to LIFE's calling our area some of the deadest land on earth, and others commented on the confusing of the town of Inyokern with the Naval Ordnance Test Station. Over a year ago the magazine PAGEANT wrote of us as if we were a blend of The Last Frontier and Buck Rogers, the implication being that we all car- ried six-guns to school. Last June the Saturday Eve- ning Post wrote of us in an extensive and colorful article. The intention of Burroughs School is to live up to the prominence such national publication gives us. Pictures and quotations reprinted by special ar- rangffmcfnt with LIFE magazine. Wz 'ff Page Six SUPERINTENDENT MCCUEN This Annual records the activities of the third year in the history of Burroughs High School. In this short space of time the school has evidenced significant growth in many areas of service, has become firmly established, and is providing a well-rounded high school program. Particular attention has been given to the provision of opportunities for Wide student participation in all activities, curricular and extra- curricular, that provide experiences in democratic practices. It is pleasing to note that this year, for the Hrst time, the school is accredited to the University of California and now has a regularly estab- lished chapter of the California Scholarship Federation. The members of the graduating class have contributed to the tradi- tions of Burroughs High School. It is our hope that the experiences of the graduates at Burroughs have added to their individual, personal growth, met their needs, and have assisted them in their training for citizenship in our society. My best Wishes and congratulations to the graduates. May you hold to high purposes and achievements in Whatever endeavor you pursue. T. L. McCuen District Superintendent T. N. I IARVEY, President H.

And, of course, sun by day and the brilliance of desert stars by night . . . such is the nature background of our lives. Wind, Sand and Starsv - the book might have been titled for this area. When the clouds hang in a certain way above the High Sierras to the west we expect the wind. Three days, they say, it will blow. But sometimes the rule is broken, and day after day the sandblast wind blows from the west on its way to Death Valley. Always, however, we have the panorama of the encircling moun- tains, infinitely various in color, cloud-shadowed, purple in the distance. Page Eight Auctions. narris was in chars box.

The year has witnessed considerable growth and development over previous years. With ac- creditation by the University of California has come a chapter of the California Schol- arship Federation, and a seriousness in schol- arship greater than previously exhibited. With added growth and experience has come the ability to compete successfully in Ath- letics with other teams of the desert region, together with improvements on the athletic field. The Student Body organization has de- veloped into a fine representative and re- sponsible group and is to be commended for its energy and cooperation in providing a more efficient Youth Canteen and Teen-age activity program.

The Juniors proved themselves worthy to replace the Seniors by getting into every- thing and participating in all school ac- tivities. The Sophomores' accomplishment in placing the B on the hill is a forerunner of what to expect from that group. The Freshmen's enthusiasm and youth- ful attempts to establish themselves as high school youth has brought them to the atten- tion of the entire school.

President THE ELI-ISS IIF 43,' The third Senior Class of Sherman E. Burroughs High School, num- bering Hfty-two, is the largest since the establishment of the school. An active and competent group, their contributions to the school and to the community life have been of real significance. The whole school has been interested in such senior social problems projects as the study of home life, sororities and fraternities, vocations, and the organizing of an alumni association. Their Annual Senior Ball was a great success, and the El Burro staff is largely composed of seniors. Perhaps the greatest contribution of the Senior Class was their land- scaping of the area in front of the school administration building. It is hoped that in the future the care and improvement of this area will be the responsibility of each new senior class. We Want to extend our congratulations to the Senior Class for the part they have played in making their school a better one for the students who follow them.

Page Tbirfy-s1'z'z'n J HIHR ELHSS Under the able leadership of Bob Parker the Junior Class has com- pleted a year long to be remembered. The Sweetheart Swirl was held February 14 in the Stall. Chair- man for the event was Dee Berry with assistants Suzy Brown and Patt Slavens in charge of decorations. The annual Junior Prom was held April 30 in the Ofhcers Club. Miss Larsen supervised the decorating, and Mr. Richardson and Mr. Fetterly managed the other details. The Junior project of creating a patio with concrete dance floor was begun in the area between the library and typing room. The dance floor was laid, shrubs, Vines, and flowers were planted, and the ground Hlled in for a lawn.

IIPHUHIHHE IILHSS Ranking as the second largest class, with 92 members, the Sopho- mores have proved to be one of the most active groups in the school. With Art Craddock, president, Jane Shortt, vice-president, and Hattie War- ner, secretary-treasurer, the class went ahead on projects which will al- ways be considered tops in the minds of many Burroites. Continuing a project from their Freshman year, the Sophomores constructed a white block Bn on the hills overlooking the Station. The Bn committee, headed by Dick Mathews and under the sponsorship of Mr. Stanton, plans on constructing permanent surveying marks which will be used in the future as aids in improving the already excellent project. Adding to the list of school dances for the year, the class put on two very lively affairs, the Sophomore Shuffle and the Soc Hop. Both dances showed much originality and good planning, and because of this we're sure that the class of 'S 0 will make many more valuable contribu- tions towards the plans and projects of the future.

The Seniors have graded, dug up, planted, and literally done a magician's job in chang- ing the front area of the school into a green paradise. The Juniors erected a concrete slab between the typing room and the library for dancing, and around it will plant lawn and shrubs. The Sophomore project is the most prominent, as it can be seen from all over the station. The large white B for Burroughs was built on the hills over looking the station. The Freshmen did a very good job in selling Bur roughs pennants in green and white felt.

As the largest class in the school with an enrollment of 95, they went ahead to Win the respect of the other students while accustoming themselves to high school life. The class project for the year was selling felt pennants with the high school Burro and name on them. The idea was very popular and the Freshmen plan on continuing the proiect. During the month of April the drama-minded members of the class put on a play entitled Elmer.,' It was directed by Miss Stroschein. Their activities have been few, but from what has been done so far, we can say that it looks as if the Freshman class will be leaders in the years to come.

EHLIFHHHIH IIHIILI-I TIE FEIIEHHTIUII This year, for the first time in its history, Burroughs High School has an organized chapter of the California Scholastic Federation, number 382C. Under the sponsorship of Miss Stroschien, the ubrains' of the school have for their motto Scholarship for Service, and the members of the chapter have amply carried out that ideal. The members elected as their officers this year Leon Karner, presi- dent, Nancy Weber, vice-president, and Joan Lamb, secretary-treasurer. Aiding these officers were the Scholarship Comrnitte, composed of Nor- man Steinaker, Phyllis Lane, and Gordon Harris.

The student council is very important at Burroughs High School. By holding office many students become aware of the prob- lems of government and each officer has a chance through his student leadership to see his ideas put into action. Because of the many problems and activities at Burroughs, leaders of the highest type are required and our oflicers this year have proved to be ex- ceptionally competent as directors of stu- dent affairs. The top-ranking job of president was carried through by Jim Shortt. Working with him were Joe Law as vice-president, Mary Alice Reeves as secretary, and Bob Hestand as treasurer. Although these officers were outstanding, their accomplishments would have been few without the able assist- ance of the class representatives who com- prised the remainder of the council. Assisting the group as faculty advisor, Mr. Westcott did a fine job in helping the members become acquainted with school problems and solutions to these problems. Aside from its governing activities, the student council sponsors m a n y of the school's organizations. Among these groups are the Y-Teens, Hi-Y, Pep Club, G.A.A., and many others. As of this past year, our governing group is now a member of the California Associa- tion of Student Councils. Members of the group attended two meetings this year where plans were made for student council activities in the future. Page Fifty-one The hands that held the Whip for this year's El Burro Staff were attached to the arms of efficient Libby Warner and Tom Welch to whom the successful publication of the '48 El Burro can largely be attrib- uted. Tom and Libby, always ready with either a gentle reminder or a prodding poke, were ever on their toes to keep their staff ahead of deadlines.

HLUUKHII 'TEH Guided by Miss Bernice Jensen in the advisorial capacity and Miss Eunice Ross in the mimeographing, the BLOCKBUSTER has attempted to hear all, see all, and tell all to the 300 Burroites every two weeks. The Journalism class, aided and abetted by several special period students, has learned to meet deadlines, track down stories and fit together the jig-saw dummy. The staff is headed by Phyllis Lane, editor, and has had Bob Hestand as Business Manager, sports have been kept on course by Joe Law and Norman Steinaker. Phil Niederhoff did the cartoons and lettering for each edition. Completing the staff were Mary Louise Kelley, JoAnne Kile, Barbara Staud, Nancy Lingard, Beverly Clupper, Joan Thomas, Nancy Cooper, Helen Hilsinger, Pat Bryant, Don Zurn, and Roy Gerard. Application to Quill and Scroll, international honorary society for high school journalists, was made late in the year, the staff also contrib- uted to the National Echo, the school periodical review. In April, several staff members attended Journalism Day at the University of Redlands, and returned with many new ideas for an im- provement of the paper. Page Ffffy-fbrr'c PHUTU EL Hi Without the unceasing help of Mr. Shortt and the photo group, the '48 EL BURRO staff could not have accomplished the high quality of graphic details in this year's annual. Photography is the most import- ant aspect in publishing a successful yearbook, and the editors and staff realized this fully when the first plans for the annual were made. The editors and staff of the '48 EL BURRO Wish to fully thank Mr. Shortt and his photo group for their marvelous cooperation, which we are sure has improved your yearbook considerably.

UFFIEE PRHETIUE The office practice course is designed to train students in correct office procedures, to aid the students in becoming familiar with and skilled in performing duties which they will encounter in a business ofhce. Stu- dents receiving credit in office practice are assigned to work in the central ofiice of the school or with a specific teacher during one hour of the day. It is the responsibility of these students to work with attendance records, type letters going out to the public, prepare reports and announcements, dupli- cated reports, file, and in general, be capable of doing any work coming into their hands. A background of business subjects is nec- essary in most cases for those entering office practice, with typing ability generally re- quired. Others without business training serve as receptionists and answer telephone calls into the school. Supervision is by the office practice teacher, with direct assign- ment of work by the school Secretary in the central office. This is the group which gives the first impression of Burroughs School to the pub- lic. Guidance is given in the development of personality, emphasizing quailties which will aid the students to succeed in school and on the job.

They sponsored various activities which included such events as the ever-popular Sadie Hawkins Day race and dance, and a charity dance for the World Youth Fund, which we believe is one of the most important activities to be sponsored by the High School. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Neilsen and Mr. Cain the club has Worked together to form a well-organized group which has given the school an excellent example of good government.

HHEHELUH Elllll A new, and very popular organization this year is the Bachelors' club. Their project for the year was to feed the visiting athletic teams after games, and from the delicious odors which came wafting from the kitchen we know that the boys did a good job. On April Fool's Day a mixed party was held. After supper, which was prepared by the boys, the guests were entertained in the Stall by various games, acts, and dancing. Page Fifly-nine Page Sixly ll RRHIIIIH HIGH Ill-lllll Carrying on from Where they left off last year, the Burroughs Music Students made considerable progress. The quality of the music improved as well as the size of the group. The most notable change was the new uniforms for the band. Through the efforts of the band members selling tickets to the P. T. A. play, the contribution by the Student Council, and the donation by the Stampede, sufhcient funds were gathered to purchase the uniforms of green Capes, white overseas garrison caps, and white trousers. Highlights of the band's appearances included performances at the following: foot- ball games, basketball games, P. T. A. play Dear Ruth,', Basketball Tour- nament at Lone Pine, Stampede Parade, Rodeo, and Commencement. All in all, the Burroughs Band had a busy year and is to be congratulated on its improvement. D R I l T L E A M IIIIHIETEEHSTIEHS Also under Mr. Major's direction were the Swingteensters and the Girls Drill Team The Swingteensters played for many dances during the year in the Stall and thus in some measure repaid the student council for the money they advanced to help buy the uniforms. The Girls Drill Team carried out some very complicated marching maneuvers at the football games and the Lone Pine Tournament. Their new sweaters with an emblem of a marching girl will be used as a uniform next year. Page Sixfy-mfr' EHUH SES The special period chorus was a new venture for this year. Although no credit was given for this class, the membership was fairly constant at sixty. They combined with the regular chorus to sing Christmas Carols around the NOTS area. Mrs. Ruth Kirley took over the fourth period high school chorus this year and has done a fine job of teaching Voice placement, diction, and part Work.

Jim Shortt with a second in the Lion,s Club Speaker's Contest and Norman Steinaker with a second in the American Legion Oratory, blazed a trail of success for future groups to aim for. As the annual goes to press the group is on its Way to Fresno for the State Speech Tournament. Page Sixty-fbrrc' THE LIHHHHY The library has had a very progressive year. Many new books have been added in both elementary and high school. Students have been taught how to use the libraryg therefore th English and social studies classes have used the library very much in pre- paring unit material. The pamphlet Hle has been much enlarged and each pamphlet given a subject heading and alphabetized. The Vocational pamphlet file has also been developed. Page Six1'-y- four THE LIHRHHY Art exhibits from the high school and elementary art classes have added much to the appearance of the library. Students have enjoyed the potted plants furnished by the Navy Nursery and the colorful jardinieres bought by the P. T. A. The students of Burroughs enjoy and use their library. Page Sixty SCIENCE ELHSSIES One of the most popular departments in school is science. Under the direction of Mr. Wilbur Shortt, chemistry, physics, and biology are taught. The courses proved much more interesting this year due to the fact that the laboratory equipment has been fulfilled to a much greater extent. General science, a Freshman course, is taught by Mr. Shortt and Mr. Richardson. Page Sixty-six HRT ELHSSES Under the supervision of Miss Larsen our students are helped to carry out their artistic interests, such as making posters, Working with clay, oil paints, Water colors, plaster paris, and many other phases of arts and crafts. Art is not a required subject at Burroughs, but is a popular elective among the students. They have completed many projects. Some of these projects are decorating for dances and parties given by the school, plays, and sports activities. The students have also helped many organizations with publicity. Page Sixty-seven HUIHE EEUHUIHIE ELHSSES 5 S I Miss Smith's Home Economics classes have making fast progress since last year. New equipment, which aids in the teaching of these classes has been added. The classes include girls from the 7th to the 10th. In the foods department, the grade school and the high school each have a budget which allows them a certain amount of money each year to furnish their foods. Page Sixty-eight In the sewing classes, the high school girls have been working with wool and cotton rayon. Some of the pretty articles that have been made are skirts, dresses, blouses and house coats. Looking into the future, the homemaking classes have been planning their Dream House and a good way to pick out ideal husbands. ' 2 , 3g.,sffQmg , v- . ENGLISH llllll Slllllll 'llllllli The English and social studies program at Burroughs is a modern correlation of the two subjects so that each reinforces and amplifies the other. Wfhen a period in his- tory or a problem of society is being studied, novels, short stories, or poetry dealing with the subject are read, and training in expres- sion is given through oral and Written dis- cussions and reports. Also, of course, the historical, social, and economic questions in great Works of literature receive particular attention. Freshman classes have been Working with particular attention to personality analysis, vocational problems and creative writing. Sophomore classes have correlated their World history studies with detailed studies of current conditions in the Orient, in Russia, in Europe and in South America. Literature has supported such studies and been ampli- fied by them. junior courses in American history have been enriched by literature from the various periods and current world happenings have been steadily followed. Senior social problems have covered an exceptionally broad scope of personal, fam- ily, vocational, national and international questions, with students selecting projects and carrying through programs. In all cases, the social studies classes have been used as the core of the curriculum, and thev replace home rooms in the school ac- tivities and student council representations. In effect, everything belongs in English and social studies classes. Page Sixfy-nine '-w ' VISUHL EIIIIEHTIUII HHH HUP A new activity this year is visual education. Those boys who Were interested in operating movie machines met with Mr. Stanton and a regular class was formed. These same boys operated the machines when movies were shown for different classes. Under the instruction of Mr. Wollen, the shops, both metal and Wood, gave much needed practical experience to the boys in the various classes. The shop has provided not only practical experience, but has given the boys an opportunity to assemble many articles which are useful in the home and daily life. Page Seventy S E N I 0 R On the evening of December 19 the annual Christmas Ball was presented by the Seniors. Guests danced among White snow drifts and pine trees to the theme of a Winter Wonderland. Music, supplied by Karl Major,s Sandpipers, and refreshments were enjoyed by all who attended. As the strains of Q'Goodnight Sweetheartn were played and the dance ended, many guests looked by on the evening as being one of the most enjoyable of the season. Page Seventy-om' Hllll HHWKI HHY In Burroughs as well as in every school, Sadie Hawkins Day is an annual gala affair. Every one attends school in their Dogpatch attire or in levis and old shirt. Upon returning from lunch the big race is started. Boys line up about four feet in front of the girls and when the gun goes off they run for their lives, with the girls at their heels. Not many are caught during the race but they are caught between periods and after school. By 8 o'clock all are caught and ready to attend the big dance in the Stall. Of course girls escort boys and pay their way. The Stall is decorated like a barn, with hay but minus cows and horses. Around the middle of the dance one views the formation of a long line which of course means that Marryin, Sam is open for business. Altogether the event is a big one and is always looked forward to as one of the best times of the year. Page Sc'L'r'11fy-1'zu0 Page Seven fy- fhrec' THE STHLL A project to be proud of is the Stall, the high school canteen. After much thinking, planning, and working the Stall was Hnally completed. New floors, indirect lighting, clean white kitchens, comfortable furni- ture, and game room are only a few of the many things that have been installed for the comfort and enjoyment of the high school students. On Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday nights the canteen is open to students of Burroughs for dancing, games, and fun-making. Members of the Stall committee assist either Mrs. Eastman or Mrs. Kile behind the counter by waiting on many hungry Burroites. Finishing the Stall has been one of the prominent dreams of Mr. Reeves and all others who have been connected with it. Without their help our Canteen Would still be in its original form as an old bungalow. Page Seventy-four A C T I V I T I E S A N D F U N ff EHHIHVHL One of the most important events of the year was the carnival. Sponsored by the Student Council, this activity went over in a big Way. Booths, under the direction of different classes, were constructed all over the school grounds. During the day before the carnival there was a con- stant hustle and bustle of busy Burroites as they built booths, decorated rooms, painted posters, and made themselves useful. By evening the area around the school was crowded with fun-hunting spectators out to have a good time. Such attractions as the Scare House, telegram booth, marriage and divorce bureau, and the Junior talent show proved to be exceptionally popular with the visitors. To top off the evening the Carnival King, Bob Hestand, was announced. Each class had a candidate, and the one who received the most penny votes was winner. After the event, the Student Council reported the Carnival as a great success!

Members of the team and their fathers by speeches and selections furnished by the high school music department. The dining room was beautifully decorated by the art students. After dinner the Dads and Lads traveled to the football field where a homecoming pep rally Was held. Main event of the occasion Was the announcing of the football queen. The highly prized honor Went to Miss Pat McKenzie, a high school Junior. During the rally the yell and song leaders got some noise out of the spectators, and some speeches were made.

A determined, fighting Burro football squad reported for practice the first day of school, faced with a tough, eight-game schedule, the first eleven - man football schedule in the history of the school. After three weeks of intense fundamental and conditioning drill, the squad, led by Capt. Jim Shortt, traveled to Maricopa for the season's opener and a New Era in Burro football history. The Burros returned victorious and maintained their winning ways in four of the Hrst five games with wins over Maricopa, MacFarland, Lone Pine, and Victor Valley while losing to the arch- rival Bishop squad 19-6.

A hard hitting Bakersfield Junior Varsity squad overpowered the locals in a hard fought game. By the end of the game, two of Burrois stalwart performers, 'iStone Wall Chadwick, a defensive great and Bob Kelly, flashy scat-backf, were both side lined for the remainder of the season by injuries. Capt.-elect Bill Lager also suffered a shoulder injury which allowed only limited service for the remainder of the season. Still contenders for the league champion- ship, the squad made the trip to Barstow to challenge the defending champion Riffian squad. Barstow was too strong. The locals returned on the short end of a 13-7 score and third place in the Desert-Inyo League. Ass't Coach Neilsen Coach Pierce Capt.

Perhaps the most important thing was that if you take the trouble to admire the muscle or reputation of your opponents, football is liable to be just a lot of discouraging work. But when you refuse to be impressed, and put your own know-how to work for you it really gets to be fun-the best sport there is. We had our hot and cold days, but We played our best ball against two of our toughest opponents-Randsburg and Big Pine on the home field-Winning the Hrst Page Eighty-eight and losing the second to the league cham- pions. We found that good team Work and a will to get the most fun by beating the other guy to the punch no matter what kind of a reputation he has-makes the kind of team that ought to represent Burroughs. The squad was large in numbers, includ- ing numerous boys Who could not be award- ed letters but who Worked loyally and learned much throughout the season. It would be a mistake to give any single player credit for the team's success. Burroughs can expect a lot from all of them in seasons to come. Ass t Coach Crutcher, Capt.

Starting the season with inexperienced personnel and meeting some of the toughest competition to be found in the state the Burros wound up with a very creditable eight wins and fifteen losses in a campaign which saw them break the school scoring record, win more games than any previous Burros team, inflict the only regular season loss to the League champions, Lone Pine, and remain the team to beat to decide the Desert-Inyo League Championship. Page Ninety-iwo Refusing to be awed or discouraged by the reputa- tion of most of their opponents the Burros won hosts of admirers by their pluck and ball handling ability and only a lot of hard luck in the shooting depart- ment kept the record from being more impressive. The entire team functioned well as a unit but special mention is made of the following Seniors: Capt. Tom Welch, Jim Shortt, Bob Bowles, Jack Whitield, Bob Hestand, Ken Bryant and Jim Temple. These boys will be missed when the Burros take the floor next year. However, much valuable experience was gained during the past season and with excellent replacements coming up the Burros will continue to be a threat to all opponents. lack.

Evidence of improved play was demonstrated by de- feating the Victor Valley and MacFarland Bs in late season's play after suffering early season defeats at the hands of these clubs. The highlights of the campaign was winning two trophies, the first ever won by a boy's high school athletic squad, during play at the annual Lone Pine Tournament. The BSU, led by Capt.

At the conclusion of the Tournament as a result of votes cast by officials and coaches, the Bs were awarded the coveted Good Sportsmanship Trophy as a reward for the fine team spirit and atti- tudes displayed while participating in the Tourna- ment. With the development of individual talent and the fine team spirit displayed by the Bs , local sports fans are satisfied that the BSU will be able to fill the gaps in the varsity ranks left vacant by graduation.

E HH HETHHLL The Burros CH squad, composed primarily of Freshmen, exhibited some classy basketball to sports fans of NUTS, although the season's record in Wins and losses was not too impressive. The Cs played consistently good defensive ball and displayed an above average floor game. The weakness, in early season starts, was hit- ting the basket. In this department, however, improvement was shown during the seasonls play. This year's experience with young talent insures better future bas- ketball at Burroughs as coming stars are being developed. Coach Pierce.

The AU class team showed steady improvement through the season, placing fourth in the league meet at Trona. Frank Zarzana. Bob Perdue, a consistent winner in the 880-yard dash, holds the league record in this event. Bob Collins also turned in consistent per- formances in the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes. Doing especially well this year, the Bn team placed second in the league meet at Trona. Individual honors in the B class should go to Gordon Zurn who broke the league record in the 660-yard dash, and placed consistently in this event during the season, Arlen Barber, who placed first consistently in the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes, Dewey Dunaway who did especially well in the pole vault, and Bob Hestand who did a fine job in the low hurdles. Much credit is due the boys on the B teams who did especially well in athletic events during the year. Though small in number and size, the C team took two Hrst places in the league meet, to place fifth in league standing. Bernard Partridge in the 660-yard dash, and Howard Hill in the pole vault made good show- ings and should prove invaluable to Burroughs in the future.

TEHHI TEHHI The 1948 Tennis Team, Burroughs' third, got under wa at the completion of the basketball season with eight of the Desert Dcnke 's original team answering the call of Coach Cain. The Number One Doubles was taken over by the two Seniors who won the Desert-Inyo League Doubles last year, Bob Bowles and Jim Shortt. This position was hotly contested by a new doubles combination composed of a 1947 singles player, Bert Andreason and a newcomer to the Burroughs tennis scene, Rusty Richards. Taking over the Number Three Doubles were two more bovs making this their second tennis season, Richard Breitenstein and Tom Welch. The singles line-up was the scene of a great deal of competition with the appearance of two Freshmen threats to the upperclassmen position. Jim Simpson and Joe Brown both give the appearance of promise and should be a great asset to the team in a couple of years, while Jack Godett seems to be the boy to watch among the Upper Classmen in Singles after Billy Peirson and Rusty Richards, who have both played in the Number One Singles this year, have graduated. In addition to these who have played competition meets there are several boys who can't be passed up and will bear keeping in mind as tournament material. They are Jim Temple, Bill Morley, Eugene Breiten- stein and Dick Haquist. N znety nzne 3 1 First row: Songleaders Joan Lamb, Patt Slavens, Suzy Brown. Second row: Cheerleaders Nancy Weber, M. A.

The sponsor, Miss Smith, and the girls agreed that the club should be limited to no more than fifteen competitive members, along with those who wish to sell tickets and help at sport events. Because of illness or disqualifica- tion, only two songleaders and ten cheerleaders remained till the end of the year. Each week, no less than three cheerleaders and two songleaders were chosen to lead at the games and assemblies. The number of lettering members were seven. Page One I-Iundnvl Upper Left: M. A.

Boots Smith, one of the earliest members of the songleading group and a valuable one at that, was lost by the club at mid-term when she graduated, but her place was filled by Suzy Brown, who shows great promise for next year. The cheerleading members who obtained all the qualifications for lettering were Libby Warner, M. A. Reeves, Birdie Purcell, Dee Berry, Nancy Weber, and Caryl Rigsby.

With Almeda Fite as president, Liz Seney as vice- president, Jo Kile as secretary, and Dee Berry as treasurer, the G.A.A. has progressed by leaps and bounds. Uniforms, awards, so- cial activities, and girls' athletics are only a few of the problems that the association has met and conquered this year. During the fall the girls traveled to Bar- Pagc' Om' Hundred Two stow to an invitational play day. After numerous games of volleyball, softball, and basketball, the winners were announced and Burroughs came out with third place! They returned gaily home with a beautiful red and white pie plate to show for their win- nings.

One Hundred Tbrcv TUIHHLING TEHHIS For the first time in the history of Burroughs High School, classes for both girls and boys in the arts of tumbling have been formed as an activity during special period. Under the direction of Mr. Pierce and Miss Booth, the classes or teams put on a demonstration as an assembly which proved very interesting. This sport is very good for conditioning the body and can be a lot of fun. It can be very helpful to the boys who intend to play football, as it teaches the right Way to fall, thus lessening the chances of possible injury. We hope that this activity will again be popular next year and that more people will become interested in it. Om' Hzlndrxfd Fur' DR. MELVIN L.

Navy have helped the school in many ways, some of which are as follows: The Navy provides the buildings, custo- dian services, public utilities a n d much equipment such as shop, commercial and office machines, home economics needs and some furniture. Surplus materials from Manzanar and other places were made avail- able to us, and some playground equipment has been installed. The facilities of the gym- nasium, swimming pool, and tennis courts are used for regular classes, team sports, and interscholastic competition. The theater is available for occasional assemblies and programs, and the football field and track Held, have been placed at our disposal. Use of the Officers' Mess has been granted for special occasions. The Navy Welfare and Recreational De- partment has made night football possible by installing a fine lighting system and aided the whole program by furnishing bleachers and assisting in keeping the athletic field in shape. The Public Works Department has also helped by releasing equipment for grad- ing the football field and track, and provid- ing grass seed for a turf field and lawn. The Welfare and Recreation Department has has also been most generous in allowing the HHVY Hllll P.T.H. HELP EHUIIL use of many musical instruments for the band and for instructional use in the school. The Navy makes the operation of the Ele- mentary School possible by direct contri- butions of funds since available money from the State and district taxes is insufficient. N0 Navy money is paid directly into the Kern County Union High School District for the operation of the High School. The Parent-Teacher's Association, other organizations, groups, and individuals have contributed materially to the success of the school. The P.T.A. is very large and active on the Station and lends its influence con- stantly for a better school. lt is largely re- sponsible for the establishment of the Youth Center, and for the installation of play- ground equipment. Aside from its influence, it has sponsored shows, programs and con- tributions to assist the school and its activ- ities in a monetary way. Members of this group and other organizations have given time on Saturdays and Sundays to work on the Stall and athletic field. The Masonic Lodge sponsored an active Public Schools Week. Merchants of the surrounding area have been generous in supporting student activities with advertising. Burroughs School is fortunate in having so many fine friends and so much com- munity interest in its success. One H undrezl Tlairfefn REAR ADMIRATA W. G. SXVITZER, U.S.N.

President: Libby Warner, rincess J lllllll- llllllll Plllllll Proving to be a great success, the third annual Junior-Senior Prom was held May lst in the lounge of the Oihcers' Mess. The decorations were carried out beautifully to the theme Moonlight and Rosesf, They represented the atmosphere of a moonlight garden with stars in the sky and a big smiling moon shining down upon the terrace. Joan Lamb was crowned Queen of the Prom by Junior Class president Bob Parker, and Birdie Purcell and Libby Warner were announced as her princesses. The excellent music was furnished by the Kampus Kadets of Glendale, Cali- fornia. Much credit is due Bob Parker and the Junior Class, assisted by Mr. Fetterly and Mr. Richardson, their advisors, for the great job that was accomplished. Certainly the Juniors are greatly indebted to Miss Larson for her help and assistance with planning and decorations. Om' Hundred Twrfrzly-Hgh! As can be seen by the above pictures, the large crowd that attended the Prom had a good time. Many parents and guests also enjoyed the wonderful music and atmosphere of the affair. Refreshments were served in the sun room, which proved to be quite popular during the evening. Looks like some took advantage of the comfortable surroundings of the room in the latter part of the evening. 0110 H1lVldTFd Twenfy-ninr' Tv'--v 'I 'T lr 'n 1 1 l l l 4 4 4 4 4 4 3 .1 THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS lr lr 4 ' OF SHERMAN E.
