It was Dr. Adalbert Angus, Lawton, Oklahoma, of the class of 1895—the first olass to graduate from Burt High School—who promoted the idea of cele- brating the 50th anniversary of their graduation, by inviting «embers of his class and all other graduates and friends of the school to have dinner together in the Burt High School gymnasium. There were four graduates in the first class: Sylvester McChesney (deceased), Mable Feck, Oak Park, 111., Xverett McDonald, (deceased), and Mr. Angus. The two living members were present and renewed many old friendships among the one-hundred and twenty graduates present. Mr. Paul Jamison, St. Paul, Minnesota, of the class of 1896 was appointed chairman of the celebration the following year. A majority of the eight ■embers of his class were present and about one-hundred and fifty alumni again enjoyed a lovely time. Of the class of '97, Minnerva Allan-Rogers, Julesburg, Colorado, and Cliff Smith of Burt were appointed on the committee for the 1947 gathering. There were thirteen graduates that year and it is hoped that all living ■embers may be present. Class of 1947, let us congratulate the classes of 1896-96 and 97 who have so successfully renewed youghful friendships, Joys and sorrows after long separations. May we, after fifty years, regard ld Burt High with as much loyalty and devol is ov the. SpiJctj f Ae Chickct kesw hitr, Sa Caught 2 dust j J a s k fc nj fedv CUe-n W e.l ic J 9 j .

THE WORD TO THE LIVING It Ian't enough to say in our heart That we like a man for his ways. It isn't enough that we fill our minds With paeans of silent praise. Nor is it enough that we honor a man. As our confidence upward mounts— It's going right up to the man himself And telling him so, that counts. If a man does a work you really admire, Don't leave a kind word unsaid In fear that to do so might make him rain. And cause him to lose his head. But reach out your hand and tell him, WELL DONE1. And see how his gratitude swells, It isn't the flowers we strew on the grave, It's the word to the living that tells, —Author Unknown
