The new addition which is 106 feet long and 66 feet In width,inclu- des an auditorium-gymnasium,boys' and girls' lock- er rooms and four additional class rooms.The rooms are of sound-proof construction and the auditor’- um-gymnaslum Is constructed with the best acous- tics. The building is fully eaulpped with lockers and accessories. A 319,800 Federal grant and the issuance of 324,000 in bonds made the construction of this fine addition possible.Of the many Federal projects of school construction in the state in 1936, the Burt project was one of two that were kept within their original estimate. Credit for this must be given to the Board of Education who gave unstintingly of their time and to Keefer Jones, architects. The fine modern Burt School is a testimonial to the progressive spirit of the citizens of Burt, their faith in the future,and their desire to give their children additional educational advantages.

D. that tnls brilliant group of boys and girls first made their triumphal appearance in the halls and on the campus of Burt High,and from that day until the day of graduation there was more intellectuality in the atmosohere of that institution than was ever known before or probably will ever be known again. Seven of this group started in the fall of 1926 under the direction of Miss Wnitney. Those seven were:Willard Schwletert,Martna Ruhnke, Lyla Oison,Raymond Lovstad,Stella Isenberger,Kathryn Elvldge and Calvin Bristow.Tne others in the group joined in various years.

Frank Aten moved to Delta before school started, and Glenn Graham withdrew from school due to illness. Our distinguished class has risen from seven to thirty- three members and back down to final twenty-two. It is a saa twenty-two graduates that march out of class history forever.

CLASS PROPHECY 1950 The sun shown peacefully on the hills near the ffrayton ranch out in Oklahoma, The year was 1950, but Darlene, as she sat in her old rocking chair, was thinking of her school days back in Burt. Those were the gay 37's. How she wished she could see them all. But she soon would, for Darlene had been planning for weeks to have a reunion at the lovelv, old ranch. J’ Darlene was suddenly wakened from her dreams by a fam- iliar voice on the radlo.lt was Cab Calloway featuring the bass viol player,Faith Reed, In a novelty number, You Ain't!' There were many of her old schoolmates entertaining the pub- lic (the easiest way tc make a livintr.) Why, it weB only last Wednesday night, she had heard Sophia Schlpull, the Blues Singer, singing over station NUTS on the Lucky StrWre hour. Ralph Smith also appeared on the program with his fam- ous violin. He was a former wrestler, but someone htfd to take the place of Rubinoff.She had also heard her old class- mate, Eugenia Mae Kriethe was still trying out over Major Bolle's Amateur Hour. What could be the attraction, music or—? •v It began to get suffocating. What Darlene needed was a breath of fresh air. She hitched up the old gray in re and called Sam (the Lovstad boy—another old schoolmate of hers) to drive to the nearest village. Of course Darlene loved to drive through the country alon®, but she was getting on in years and the mare was more than she could handle.As she was nearing the town she noticed billboards advertising Ringling Brothers Circus featuring Lyla Olson, the tight-rope walker, and Nadine Mann, the trapeze performer. As they drove through the village,they passed the small town theater, starring Leila Buntrotsky,the great movie act- ress, in A Gummy Affair . Of course,Calvone Broste was her leading man.How well Darlene remembered the school days back In '37 when a stick of gum was worth one-half hour detention. Darlene glanced nt her watch. It v as getting late and she knew that the chief cook, Wieske,would have supper prom- ptly at 6:30 as he '’lwavs did, but she must stop at the lit- tle po81 office to get Hie evening mail. There was the eve- ning paper, and several letters from her old schoolmates. Here w s one from Ham Scheletert. He could get excused from school for two days,so he would be present at the reun- ion. He was still attending Harvard University.He Just could- n't seem to get through. Toe bad, he was such a good kid, too,He had been there for 13 years but was expected to grad- uate every year now. Here was another from Rachel Becker. She was a well- known chorus girl In New York, Darlene had seen her picture In the paper several times. She couldn't come as she had re- hearsals scheduled a month ahead. There were two letters from Chicago. Now who lived in Chicago? Oh, yes, of course, it was Marie Carter and Stella Isenbergep. Marie was a stenographer in Mr. Bowie's office. Mr. Bowie wouldn't let her off work Just like Mr. Bowie, thought Darlene. Darlene had thought Stella and Marie could come out together, for then it would not be so lonesome. But evidently,Stella didn't favor this idea,for, as Darlene read her letter, she gathered Stella felt somewhat superior to Marie for Stella was a famous model in Chicago. When Darlene arrived home, it was 6:00, so she deolded that she would have time to read the Evening Tribune before supper.Darlene looked at the front page. The headline read, Wealthy Young Playboy Seriously Injured . Darlene hastily glanced through the details of the story, fearing it to be someone she knew. Sure enough-----it was Robert Cray, and he was lying half-de d in a hospital--car wreck, of course. My Goodness, how time flies ! Why, it seemed only yesterday to Darlene that little Bobby was learning how to drive and driving M rj Martinson all around the country. Let's see what was Marjorie doing now? Oh, yes, she was an old m.a!4 teacher in Maple Hill. Poor Marj--she'd have to have her to the ranch for a week this summer to give MarJ a little fling . Darlene hadn't even bothered to send Marjorie .an invitation, for she knew Marjorie had her little school, and besides, she did hate to leave her puoils. Another one she nadn't bothered to Invite ws Kdthrvn Elvidge. She was running a the .ter in Sexton, and besides she had heard rumors that Kathryn had developed into a some- what sophisticated girl. If tnere wasn't Leona Neltzel, star of a burlesque show at the Pinto (making good, too). She hadn't known that. She glanced through the society column. There was the former Barbara Jean Hott's name, celebrating her tin wedding anniv- ersary. (Happily married at 33). Just then, Sam walked in with a telegram which the boy had Just brought. It w s from Martha Ruhnke—she said (in a few words) she could not be present as she had Just entered into a partnership in a large flour mill(er) and she would be too busy to get away Just now. w Stamsts®' ;iynt ip?s 9sP°rslt“'but she °ouw — - ss j- j nd s?! wlth these thoughts in mind, Darlene rested hpr head dreamily on the back of the chair and w-'tZ thf he set Peacefully benlnd the hil of t£ o?d raJc house?
