L SENIOR CLAST HISTORY The r. -rning of Sept. 4, 1931, found 13 bright and willing 3tudents-to-be ©ntTii.r tho doors of Burt High School. Our original beginners wore Lorena Riobhoff, Herbert Weiske, Mary McDonald, Maryanne Oefctman, Marie Bette, vc- str r Braco, .or.t Ryorson, Ruby oodden, Richard Smith, Joel Carter, - Thorsen, srilyn Baor, and Betty Botes. Of the original 13 only 4 ■' ’■r : j r'd the full 1. years together in the rooms of Burt School--Mary , Herbert, and Richard. In ou” second year Kent was the only one to leave us but he returned seven year • lator t finish school with us. 'Ve also added a member, Bernadine 0.1 ur , who later left us in the eighth grad-- During the third year we lost three members of our class, Sylvester, Ruby, and Betty. Betty joined us the following year. Ruby in the sixth grade, and Sylvester as a freshman all all three are members of our graduating class The fourth year was both to our credit and loss since we dded ahother member to our group. Opal Meier, who is also one of our 21 graduates of '43. We lost Marie and Grace. The sixth grade also meant an increase in our roll call with one more ad- dition to the list of names, Caroline Hasse, who has since been with us. Tho following year we had two more new embers, Melvin and Eugene Theisen, and lost Lorena who returned in the seventh grade to stay with us. Eugene also drooped in the middle of this term. Another found her way into our room during our eighth grade, Darlene Volentine, another graduate. Our first year in high school found many new faces in the assembly. Among the: were Nedra Wolf, Warren Andreasen, Virginia McWhorter, Gerald Eimers, Patricia Plumb, Paul Bolie, Weldon Bolie, Billy Bahling, Betty Lou Cushman, Norman Lee, and Henry Sanke,; Billy, Henry, and Betty Lou remained with us only a short time. During the freshman year we rated two members on the baseball squad, Herbert, and Joel. We had one member on the basketball squad, Joel. Several of the freshman had the good fortune of acting as waiters and waitresses at the Jr.-Sr. banouet. Many of the class participated in the chorus, singing at the high senool operetta. Blow Me Down. Herbert rated a principal part. During our sophomore year we added three members, Donna Dutton, Helen Arer.d, and Kenneth Hutzel. Marion Lepper left us. Herbert again had a principal part in the operetta, The Gondoliers, we placed our limit in all activities. Helen left us at the cTose-oT tHe-year. Our junior year found us with two new members, Jr. Officer, and Jr. Fischer, and the loss of one, Norman. At the close of the year, Patricia also left us. As Juniors our class made its show. Four of the operetta. Pirates of Penzance principals came from our class--Herbert, Virginia, Lorena, and TTedra. Joel, Herbert, Gerald, Richard, Jr. Officer, and Kenneth Hutzel made up our share of the baseball squad. For basketball Richard, Gerald, Jr., and Joel did their best’for the junior class. Ten members of the Junior class presented the class play. Yours, Truly Willie in November. In tho senior year we made no additions and lost two, arilyn and Joel. Agaii the boys of ur clas • - ado their contribution to sports activities. Nedra, Virginia, and Donna, had speaking parts in the operetta Patience with many assistant senior singers in the chorus. Senior ability was aslo shown in the bamd Eleven members of the senior cla.s presented the class play, A Hus- band fo£ Sale on May 14. Senior baccallaurettee was held Sunday, May 16, and Commencement, Thursday, May 20. Neath the swaying palm tre«, 'in the year of 1954, we see a familiar red head, Donna Jdan, who seems very content at seeing her husband, Richard Smith, and their two small children returning from the village. The oldest child is carrying a newspaper which he proudly hands to his mother. The mother very eagerly takes the newspaper because this is the only way which she has of keeping track of her 1943 classmates. Since Senators Brace and Theisen have be n elected to Congress from Iowa, the bill has been passed that all the U. S. papers should be delivered to American island possessions. It seems that Theisen was the author of the bill because he was afraid Donna would not hear of his rise in politics. Confident- ially, he is still a little Jealous of Smith. As Donna opens the newspaper she sees by the headlines that the Victory Caravan has Just completed its very successful tour for Marine C mps and is featuring Herbert Weiske and Nedra Wolf as vocalists. Donna turns to t; e society page and notices the announcements of the mar- riages of Opal Meier, Ruby Godden, and Mary McDonald. Turning to the advertisements she sees Harold Fischer and his assistant Virginia McWhorter finally got their shop named—Fischer's Ferocious Facial Shop. The prize for naming the shop, • free facial, went to Darlene Volen- tine, who is now living in New York and is taking up shop naming as a pastime, Donna turns to Richie and says, it's still Just a business relation between Virginia and Tarz and after all these years . Very interested in editorials Donna turns to the editorial pare and sees Jr. Offic r who is a very successful farmer in southern Iowa, who wrote Congress- man Theisen about his crop failures. Instead of answoring in a personal letter. Congressman Theisen wrote an editorial to Jerry's Jabbering Jeers . It seems that Theisen can't get enough publicity as a Congressman. Donna turns to Richie and says, Wasn't it Jerry Elmers who built up the Burt Monitor changed its name, and is now selling 300,000 copies dallyf Richard, are you listening} It seems Richie Just caught on to all the tune of Sweet Adeline and Just won't let go. The leading movie of the season is That 20 Mile Hike or He Died With His Boots On . It stars the handsome leading man of Hollywood, Kenneth Hutzel. Maryanne Gettman just won the Pulitzer prize for writing the best seller of the year. She named it Warren'3 Career. She dedicated it to Warren And- reasen the great Romeo of the moving pictures. Donna notices an announcement of the c ming of a great maestro to the island on a tour and is not much surprised to see that it is Kent Ryerson. Afraid she might have missed something, Donna agains turns to the society page, and glancing up and dovn the -age something catches her eye. Lorena Rlebhoff and Paul Bolie have Just announced that they are to be married next week and will spend their honeymoon on the island of Hawaii.. This will be a chance for Donna to see some of her classmates. She also sees the name of Mrs. Marilyn Baer Johnson. As she reads under this heading she finds t.at Marilyn has moved to Greenland, where the climate is better suited to her health. Congressman Theisen and Brace once again enter the news. They have announced that due to the inrease in their work they had to employ secretaries and em- ployed Betty Jean Bates and Caroline Hasse. These two couph s have been the rage of Washington and recently dined with Mrs. Roosevelt. (Yes, her husband Is still president(. Also in the Washington news is Joes Carter, who has recently received the appointment of Major General and is the president's personal attache. Donna does not feel right until she looks at the funny page. Donna's favorite is Carlson's Cornie Cartoons This is written by Virgil CarIon and is the sketch of his Ife in 1943. Donna slowly folds the newspaper and lays it down on the stand beside her. She sits and dreams for a few moments of nil the news she has just read} how her classmates have «11 gone ahead in this wonderful world. She is awakened by Richard singing If you were mine , which is the second line of Sweet Adeline , and realizes that she is hap iest right here. :: A Baccalaur'-nte Service Burt ] igh chool Auditorium Sunday, ray IS, 1943 processional Invocation Scripture Readi ng Solo Prayer Baccalaureate Sermon Hymn by Congregation Mixed Chorus Rev Henson Rev.

Warren cannot supply his friend with cash, but he does offer to helsolve his problem by giving him good ad- vice. The advice is that Emnet shall throw off his bachelor- hood and get married. Just then Warren s Aunt Sonhronla calls him on the telephone, and Warren conceives the brilliant idea of marrying Emnet to his wealthy aunt. When said Aunt Sophro- nia arrives at the Bingham household and accepts Warren s sug- gestion that she marry Emnet, then tilings begin to happen! Emmet s valet, Clement Hunter, arrives, and Aunt Soplironla mis- takes him for Emmet and suggests that they be married at once. As eacli act unfolds, there are more and more situations that entangle the characters in a riotous turmoil. Imogene Atmore, Philio s sister; Evelyn Parnell, her friend; Julia Bingham, sister of Sophronia s; and Julia Helton all have im- portant parts in the action of the nlay with Pinky Astor and Goldenrod Mills, negro servants, providing comedy relief. All turns out well with Aunt Soplironla married happily to Clement, am .ends made betvreen Imogene and Emmet, and Evelyn and Warren together again. Goldenrod and Pinky get their heads together once more, and Julia Bingham and Howard Atmore turn out hand in hand. SENIOR CLASS POEM Though it s short and sweet, It s to let you know That we have to leave you, But we hate to go. We've studied and scrapped, To earn our grades, We've learned our manners, And all our trades, We've gained new friends, Both old and young, And though our praises, May never be sung, We'll always remember, We couldn't forget That Burt has the best school, We've ever seen yet. This 1s the testimony we leave to thee, Signed, By the class of '43. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President Vice President Sec. Treas.

The purpose of this organization is to further the interests of the band in any way possible. They have purchased additional music, musical instruments, and last year, new uniforms for some forty members of the band. The activities of the band mothers during this year Included sponsoring a Farm Bureau dinner on October 7, and a mother- daughter banquet in December. These were well attended, and as our club had $300 as a yearly budget for the suits, we decided to have a band concert sponsored by Mrs. Peters. This was well attended and we were justly proud of our band. The uniforms have been paid for in full, $300 having been paid this year, and the band mothers have assisted in making four pair of trousers for additional new members, it is our wish that the band may grow and continue its successful course next year.
