ANNUAL STAFF We Are at War We are at war. The worst of our fears has now become a tragic reality. Just how tragic it will he, time alonp can tell. Meanwhile, we must believe that we are really in a world wide conflict, and we, with our strange allianc- es, must carry on to a final victory. The reasons why the oeoples of the entire world have once again become engaged in the devil’s game of self-dest- ruction are not simple. Ho blame can be put entirely on one person, or on one country, and no nersor. or country is ex- cusable. It is true that the present catastrophe is due largely to the creation of Hitlerism, the terrible and un- God like scourge that has swept the entire earth. What shall our attitude towards this war be? Hvery person who has studied history knows that one wrong brings on another. Just as we stand together and punish criminals who undermine our homes end businesses, so we should stand together and destroy this evsn greater evil. Hot only should we destroy the present military machines and democracy- destroying agencies, we should also destroy their source. Hitlarism is an international crime, and must be dealt with as such. The duty of our government in this present international crisis is therefore plain. It must produce all the planes, ships, bombers, submarines, and other utensils of war which it nossibly can. It must, and has a right to demand, full cooperation and loyalty from ea.ch and every American citizen. It has demanded more taxes; therefore, we must practice self- denial and pay these taxes. Along with winning the war is another great problem, urobably greater than any Military Ism (It concerns the evil forces practicing on this and every other continent.) The government is responsible for these forces and for the protection of our earthly and mat- erial blessings which God has given us. Therefore the force of international evil must be reckoned with before it destroys It requires no large imagination to foresee that this war will be hard and long . It will drain our resources, both economic and natural, and bring sorrow into many American homei It will take the fine upstanding youth of today and put them into another FI nders. It will bring about hate and greed between peoples ”ho should, by color, creed and natural in- stincts, be friends. There is not one of us who does not realize it, and who does not realize that all this must be foregone before we can obtain victory. I think that this war v.ill be hardest on the young -people of our age, if any distinction on ''hardship11 may be made. The youth of our age r« strong, uum- rried, fresh ; end eager and make good «cidiero, Some o].de- nen ■ nJ buys have hrd their fling or R char.ce in cite orld, but these boys will go from high-school or first or second year college right into the . nay Zv n if they are not drafted they feel it their dut - to God and their country to enlist nd do their v rt. I may be prejudiced on this, for many older men re leaving their frurd lie? for the army, but that is ny opinion, ho-over great the hardships are we must endure them no’-’ for final victory, :'nd make the world, , .nd esnecir lly maerica, s- fe forever.

Our goal was set as Seniors, '.1e have reached the final step As individuals we face the morrow Without a fear or one regret. Teachers, they have come and gone, Each len't a helping hand, Teaching and preparing us To he an asset to this land. Many battles have been waged Many temptations overcome. But we are glad that we kept at it And the battle we have won. As we go on to higher learning, Let us pause a time or two And think of our good old school days And the things we used to do. Think of all the happy hours That we spent within these walls The many time caught cheating Or chatting in the halls. And as we face the morrow And what it has in store, Let not one shrink back in fear But go forth to Inrn somemore.

There v ere Bob Thaves, Betty Bee Christensen, Barbara Thompson, and Margaret Richmann. During the years iip toward high school various members v ere picked up and others dropped out. Thirty four reported for active duty in September 1938. This was supposed to be the largest freshman class in the history of 3.H.S. 3efore school began a party was given for the whole class by the faculty in the gym so that the new students might get acquainted. During the year we picked up DuWayne Klein and Raymond Elmers. Verle Bass dropped out the last semester of our freshman year. Many members of this class were in the different musical groups and participated in the sub-district contest which was held in Burt that year. Some of the girls were members of the girls' glee club which won a first and went on the the district contest at Eagle Grove, where it received an excellent. The all high school operetta, Mikado , waB presented v ith members of this class in the cast and chorus. Waiters and waitresses at the banquet v ere Bob Thaves, Harold Becker, Du'.'ayne Klein, Ed Long, Margaret Ringsdorf, Marilyn Long, Betty Stewart, and Geneva Carter. The class enjoyed a picnic in Call Park followed by a theater party at the Call Theater. . In our sophomore year we again had a drop in enroll- ment. Leon Arend, ''allace Godden, Paul Miller, and Marvin Rath dropped out. The boys' and girls' glee clubs put on the operetta 31ow-MeDown , with various members of the class in the cast and chorus. The Boys' Glee Club and Brass Sextette went to the State Music Contest at Storm Lake. The class enjoyed a skating party held with the Freshmen at Titonka. In our Junior year, 1 lour Shoopman, Dale Dickmeyer, and Lester Godden, dropped from our class and Daryl 3ess was transferred from Perry. We gave the class play VThat a Life , and many of the members of the class were in the cast. The County Basketball Tournament was held at Swea. City.

She clouds are lazily drifting along in a sky blue heaven. On the far horizon the white how of a ship can he seen. As it cruir-oc closer, the name can he distinguished. It is the U. S. S. Senior, a cruiser of the U. S. Navy. As v e fly over we see a commotion on deck. Not being able to quite distinguish what the cause may he, v e zip out our Magic Telescope and Lo and Behold, we find Donald John, as boatswain, blowing the whistle for all he is worth. He is signaling for all hands on deck for sea-baggage inspection and from all hooks and crooks of the cabins, come sailors dressed in white, scrambling for position. But alas, there is one struggling behind and v;hat a time he is having. His cap is askew, and he is frantically tucking his clothes into his bag. He gives a throw with a shoe, and a tuck here and a tuck there, stooping to pick up a soca, and at last he rushes into Position, and who cfo you think it is. None other than Gordon Graham! And is he|going to hear a few words, for marching up to him-is Admiral Harold Becker. It is too bad that v e can't hear that is said, but perhaus it is best that v e don11. V e circle around and see that the ship is now almost to New York. Inswection is over and sailors n.re impatiently waiting for a chore, but perhaps v e shall see more at Port. V ho knows! Here we are at port, the shin is anchored and the gang- plank is lov ered. Sounding like a stampede come the sailors with Kenneth Kammerstrom in the lead, .rnd is he going to re- ceive a warm welcome, for there waiting with openiiaymaj i rs, Margaret Ringsdorf, 7ith her is her friend Margaret Richman. Apparently she is also waiting for someone, and yes, a nich handsome, d; rk-hhired sailor is coming up to her, but v e do not ’enow him. As the crowd scatters, v e follow and v ho do you think they meet. Home ether than their old echool chume, Lorraine Scderberg and l-iargaret Iras thus. 3oth of those girds have new acquired ©reellent Jobs. Lorraine is an efficient sten- ographer for the Richard Groan end Son Stock Company, and Margaret is a very ch rming nurse at the V eber Lucas Hospital. Later in the day we hear that Doretta Steward and Martha Gifford have just arrived on the Coast to Coast Clipper from that good old state of Iowa. They have come for the Style Show tha.t is to be held at the Ambassador Hotel tonight._______ j I !

Yes, you guessed right, it is the former Doris Godden, who is now very hapnily married to the mechanic, Lee Drayton. The evening £ape h s gust been delivered, and as we glance over it we see an item of special interest. It tells of the arrival of the internationally known, beautiful opera singer, Barbara Thompson, who has just returned from a tour in Burope. as we recall the days happenings we realize that our friends have each achieved something worthwhile in life. r t THE WILL OP THE 1942 SENIOR CLASS We, the graduates of the Burt High School, City of Burt, state of Iowa, being sane and. of clear memory, do solemnly swear on the seventeenth day of April, nineteen hundred and forty two A.

The Pirates of Penzance Burt High School presented their operetta on 'Thurs- day and .Friday, October 30-31, 1941. Cast Richard Samuel Frederick Major-General Edward Mabel Kate Edith Isabel Ruth Leslie Graham Norman Lee Robert Thaves Herbert Weiske Dean Kienitz Marilyn Long Lorena Riebhoff Nedra Wolf Virginia McWhorter Margaret Richmann Synopsis When Frederick was a little lad he proved so brave and daring that his father thought he'd apprentice him to a seafaring career. So it fell to the lot of Ruth, his nursery maid, to bind this boy apprentice to a pilot. She, by mistake, apprenticed Frederick to a pirate. Fred« erick, during his apprenticeship is loyal to the pirates but as soon as he is free he plans their destruction. Frederick falls in love with Mabel, the youngest of Major General Stamley's daughters. The Major and his large family have been captured by the famous Pirates of Penzance who propose to marry the daughters. The destruction of the pirates is about to take place when the fact that Frederick was born on the twenty-ninth of February is realized and he is consequently still a pirate. When their queen's name is mentioned the pirates are really noblemen who have gone wrong and they surrend- er and are restored to their ranks and are each given a daughter to marry.
