May the ROUNDUP also create greater spirit in the minds of the Burt pupils to strive toward higher goals and finer ideals. BURT PUBLIC SCHOOL In the land where the tall corn grows, there stands a big tepee, the Burt High School, the pride and joy of the Burt tribe. All the warriors and maidens find great fun, both in music and athletics in this great social center. Burt High has over ninety enthusiastic Indians enrolled in high school this year. The Burt school has made itself known to all the surrounding tribes and we hope it will continue in future years to keep its good name. STANDING: Gebken, Baars, Carman, McMullen, Salisbury.

We were Helen Graham, Helen Gettman, Lester Steward, Gwen Mann, Shirley Lockwood, and Harold Reimers. In our second year Kay Holding and Jack McMullen joined us, followed by Jean Leeper in the third and Kathleen Groen in the fifth year. During the rest of our school career many came but were not destined to stay long. Marilyn and Beverly Ditsworth came in our eighth year making a total of sixteen to graduate in 1944. In our Freshman year we were joined by Eugene Meyer, James Garman, Jane Keith, Joan Shipler, and Betty Jean Batt, numbering twenty-four in all. The next year Leonard Lampe came to us from Bancroft. The eighteen of us who will graduate are glad to have been members of the same class, but more than that, we are proud to have been students of Burt High School. The Class Prophecy It is the month of August, 1965, and we are on our vacation trip in Chicago. We come upon the gaily colored tents of a carnival and the enticing music of the caliope excites us. Who is the man riding among all the children? Why! it’s Lester Steward! Whoops! He fell off! As we run to assist him we find a nurse has reached him first. Imagine our surprise when we recognize her as Kathleen Groen. We follow them to the first aid station, and as soon as Kathleen has informed us that Stew’s condition is only indigestion, she tells us she has been working in Cook County hospital and is attending the carnival on her day off. She also tells us that Lester has a large shoe repair shop near by. Making our way back to the midway we bump into a good looking farmer----why, it's Eugene Meyer! We hardly recognize him with his mustache and bald head. (Oh! those lovely curls!) He is in Chicago to sell a carload of prize steers for fifty dollars a hundred pounds. We find ourselves before the fat lady’s tent, and Curly generously takes us in. We are astonished to hear someone call us by name and as we turn there is the fat lady waving frantically at us. It is Curly who recognizes her first as his old classmate, Helen Gettman. After her performances she confides to us that she is going to quit this business and take up interior decorating. She is reducing through the medium of Turkish baths administered by Gwen Mann at her swanky establishment in Oak Park. She charges unthinkable prices, and is patronized by the elite of Chicago, but she really gets results. Just then Gwen comes in to see Helen, and she looks striking in her business suit. Her little sailor hat reveals a becoming streak of silver through her hair. Our eyes are caught by a sparkle on her left hand - - she has been wearing that for “Long.” The sound of rollers lures us to a skating rink. Leading the grand march is a dainty, graceful skater; as she nears us we recongnize each other simultaneously. It is Jean Leeper. She invites us in, and reveals to us that she is the manager of the rink and enjoys her work immensely. The Class Prophecy (Continued) On our way to the afternoon ball game we see a sign reading “Harco, the Fire Eater.” We laughingly remark, ‘‘That couldn’t be Harold, could it?” Before we can catch our breath Harold Reimers does appear on the stage with his firey torches. Later, as we ask him where on earth he learned his trade, his face lights up as of old, and with a beaming smile he says, “Why, from Mr. Officer, in Physics class, of course. We wonder on down to the ball diamond, buy our tickets and take seats in the front section. We hear familiar voices and find that we are sitting next to Marilyn Ditsworth and Shirley Lockwood. Here we learn that Marilyn is teaching in a kindergarten. She hasn’t changed much, still wears a diamond, and still follows the baseball games. Shirley is teaching flute lessons, and in her spare time she models clothes at Marshall-Fields. After the games we decide to do some shopping and primping for the evening performance. Finding an expensive looking beauty salon we enter and are flattered by the patronizing attentions of a tall, dapper, dark and handsome gentleman. Yes, you’ve guessed it, it is Jack McMullen, and he gives us his special treatment. With lifted spirits as well as faces we leave Jack’s pleasant salon and stop at a lovely dress shop next door. A neat clerk helps us and tells us that she is working for Betty Jean Batt, who designs all the dresses she sells and whose work has gained the admiration and respect of Parisian shops. As we plan to buy one of her latest styles Betty appears, and expertly advises us in our choice. As we speed along to get to the evening performance on time we hear a command- ing police siren and a traffic cop stops us. We expect him to be someone from Burt too, but it isn’t. We are whisked off to court and as we approach the judges bench a charming woman is smiling at us in recognition. This pleasing smile tils none other than Beverly Ditsworth. The black judicial robes are very becoming to her and she tells us how she enjoys making speed fiends and other criminals shake in their shoes, when she thunders out her sentences. Just as we begin to shake in OUR shoes we are attracted by the entrance of the court reporter, a tall woman, dressed in a severe black suit. There is something familiar about her gait, and noticing our astonishment, Beverly says, “Yes, it’s Joan Shipler, a bachelor girl who thinks dancing and movies are a waste of time, and loves only her work.” Well, Beverly lets us off easy and we go on to our destination. As we enter the gayly lighted grand stand an airplane is zooming about in the twilight above us, leaving behind trails of letters in smoke, advertising the next day’s performance. We immediately recognize the penmanship as Kaye Holding’s, for we have seen plenty of it on the desks and walls in good old Burt High School. As the plane roars away the orchestra personnel is filing into place--an all girl orchestra, lovely girls. As the confused sounds of tuning stop and master of ceremonies announces the approach of the conductor, we are not a bit surprised to see the familiar wavy hair, the twinkling brown eyes of Jim Garman. He hasn’t changed a bit and his music is entrancing. Soon the star singer of the evening is introduced. We don’t catch the name, but as soon as we hear that voice we know it is our own Leonard Lampe. We are so happy that he has achieved his most treasured dream - - to become a second Frank Sinatra. Just as the last teenager swoons at his feet and applause dies down, a slender, nifty woman breezes up to them with her camera, “Gotta have your picture for my paper, boys ! Of course, it’s Helen Graham, she always said she’d be a photographer. She hasn’t changed except for a few lines in her face and she is thin. She tells us, being a photographer for life Magazine is strenuous work. The Class Prophecy (Continued) Well, we are back in our hotel settling ourselves for a cozy chat to recount the interesting events of the day when we notice a distinguished looking woman across from us intently studying the evening paper. She is dressed in classic traveling clothes, and her wavy hair, slightly tinged with gray, is folded in a neat bun at the nape of her neck. Suddenly my companion cries--“Jane Kieth”! We soon discover that Jane is leaving next day on her tenth flight to Europe to help organize 4H clubs abroad.

Senior Class Play SING FOR YOUR SUPPER A. C. Martens Ranny and Biff were practically forgotten men, since Joanie and Laurette had given their hearts to the radio mystery crooner. Then they pull a fast one, and frame Stephen, the new music teacher, as the mystery crooner. (He’s a nice guy-- but no one you’d swoon over--and, besides, the girls were peeved because he never noticed them). This will disillusion the girls—the boys hope-- and they’ll come running back to them. But it does just the opposite, and before you know it the girls are swooning at Stephen’s feet. (They never gave him a second glance before). But the worst is yet to come. Stephen really IS the mystery crooner—he had taken up crooning only to help finance a serious musical career. To stave off the onslaught of girls, Stephen asks Susan (more his age and secretly in love with him) to pretend that they are engaged. Susan readily agrees, but Biff and Ranny spoil things unwittingly, with one of their bright ideas, by framing the engagement of Stephen to three of the bobby-sox brigade at once, and Susan is heartbroken (believing Stephen is fickle and that he loves all this adoration). A lady reporter, a slick photographer, and a fast-talking girl from the advertising agency then descend on Stephen to make his existence more hetic. Poor Stephen He wants only to be left alone with his music—and Susan--with whom he now realizes he is in love--but he has to face the whole barrage of publicity re- volving about his crooning. In a fast and furious final act, Stephen finds time not only for his serious music and his crooning-but for Susan, also. Cast of Characters Mr. Piper .... who thinks he is boss.......................

FRESHMAN CLASS Sophomores Our tribe is the Sophomore Indians from Cast side. We are an over-sized tribe with twelve braves and ten squaws, and Chief Pepper Fairbanks as top man on the totem pole. Hunting has been good this season. We have two new squaws, Corrine Kerne and Ruth Krull. The tribe is being educated this year in four very interesting subjects. We start the morning studying geometry, learning how to build our teepees. Next comes English where we get away from the “Ughs!” and “ain'ts.” Braves learn agriculture and squaws learn general business. In the afternoon we study world history, learning about our ancestors. By the sound of our war whoops the teachers think we have on war paint! We’re not really on the war path, just the path to the eleventh grade. With the help of our pow-wows, massacres and other events we have had a heap big fun this year. Pepper was taken to see his new baby sister. “Ma!” he cried, “the kid ain't got no hair. It ain’t even got no teeth. Ma—some- body gypped us! It's an old baby!” Mr. Bolie: “Tell me, Shirley, what does LXX stand for?” Shirley: “Love and kisses.” Freshman We, the Freshman tribe, are new on the reservation and our’s is the largest tribe, with 19 squaws and 10 big chiefs. At the beginning of the year we were burnt at the stake. In the first part of January we had a war dance on rollers at Titonka. John Geesman is the head chief of our class and Gary Schichtl is assistant chief. Gerald Meyer handles our wampum. The two war council members are Yvonne Ditsworth and Gary Schichtl. Miss Baars: What is the opposite of sorrow? Kenneth: Joy. Miss Baars: And the opposite of misery? Kenneth: Happiness! Miss Baars: How about woe ? Kenneth: Giddap! ! Coach: After working out this much of the problem we find that X equals 0. Freshman: Whew! All that work for nothing! Gary R.: “Mother, I wish you’d do my algebra.” Mother: “No, son. It wouldn’t be right.” Gary: Well, you could try, couldn’t you?” Who is that letter from?” “What do you want to know for?” There you are. What do I want to know for?

Junior High We, the Indians of the Junior High room feel that we have mastered such Indian arts as reading, writing and arithmetic quite well, and are ready for something new. We tried our hand at basketball and were nearly scalped by several of the near by villages. We are also getting experience in hunting “dears.” In fact some of us (Larry for example) have even mastered that art too. The chief teacher in our teepee is Paul Bolie who constantly amazes us with his vast knowledge and often amuses us with un-Indian-like wit and humor. Wake Up Wake up! Wake up! The birds are singing. The hills are ringing. Why don’t you wake up today? Look up! Look up! The sun is shining. The bells are chiming. For it is a new day. Mary Officer 5th 6th Grades The pigtailed maids and the braves of the 5th and 6th grade room are struggling with decimals and fractions, but we celebrate lots of festivals. We went on a war dance in our native costumes, with the Indians from other grade teepees. This dance took place on Hall-o-ween throughout the reservation. If we master our fractions and decimals as well as good times we will have the title of better Indians next year. Our guide and teacher in our forest of lessons is Velma Larson whose powers and skills are necessarily great. Jerry: “Speaking of baseball, I have a baseball dog.” John: “What makes you call him a baseball dog?” Jerry: Because he wears a muzzle, catches flies, chases fowls, and beats it for home when he sees the catcher coming!

We are sure to be big Indians because here on the reservation they give the people in our teepee a glass of orange juice each morning. Miss McMahon acts as our guide. She teaches us things as spelling and multiplication tables. She tries her best to teach us to act civilized, but wonders if her teachings don’t go up in smoke. Miss McMahon left her class for a few minutes and on her return found the children doing everything they will do on such occasions. Wrathfully she called them to order, then asked, “How does it happen that I never find you studying when I come back to the room? ” Finally a piping voice answered, (we think it was Carl's) Please Miss McMahon, it’s because you wear rubK“’-v ““1 c ’’ From this great clem of Indians we are considered the papooses. Mrs. Hammerstrom sees that we get carried along day by day learning the signs that we will use through all our life. Being accustomed to the freedom of home life, many of us find it hard to keep quiet in this new wilderness of school. Once every morning we do get a chance to be quite noisy, you see some of us are learning to play the tonette so in years to come we, too, can play at war dances. Strange cow. “Oh, what a strange looking cow!” exclaimed a young lady from the city. “But why hasn’t it any horns?” “Well, you see, explained the farmer, “some cows is born without horns and never has any, and others shed theirs, and we dehorn, and some breeds ain’t supposed to have horns at all. There’s a lot of reasons why some cows ain’t got horns but the big reason why that cow ain’t got horns is because she ain’t a cow--she’s a horse. The stingy farmer was scolding the hired man for taking a lantern when courting his best girl. “The very idea! I never took a lantern. I went in the dark.” Hired man: “Yes, and look what you got.” BOY’S AND GIRL’S GLEE CLUBS OF BURT HIGH SCHOOL FRONT: Helen Gettman.

Band and Mixed Chorus This branch of the tribe plays for all the war dances and it’s a wonder that the people get our message with one tom-tom player beating off and chewing on the beat. We have a regular pow-wow for half an hour every morning but the best one of the year was at Forest City where we joined forces with musicians from other tribes. Three members of our tribe were privileged to play in the massed band and six of us played solos before big chiefs of other schools for criticism. These same people will play at contest. The concert early in the spring will top our year off with a bang. The maidens and braves of the mixed chorus have worked hard all year to be a success. Our first war whoop sounded forth in September and we wondered if it could ever be improved. October arrived however and we were ready for our operetta. It went over with a bang. The Christmas program was held in co-operation with the papooses and was a real success. We have had our difficulties but our medicine man has doctored us up until we are in fine shape for contest. All the squaws that are in glee club meet in the music teepee for a raising of voices twice a week. Every once in awhile we hear little solos from the soprano section, which aren’t intentional. Sometimes Chief Baars must tell the altos to raise their voices and the seconds to come clearer on high notes but altogether our glee club has been a success. The Boy’s glee club is coming back into it’s own after a few years of retirement. We took part in the operetta and sang with the girl’s chorus at the Christmas program. Contest is now foremost in our minds and we are working hard to show everyone what we cam do. Curly: I always say what I think. Shirley: I wondered why you were so quiet. Don’t take life so seriously, you'll never get out of it alive anyway. C. F. Norton Radio Announcer: “And now Miss Ryerson will sing, ‘I wish 1 were a Dove, I’d Flee Junior: “Dad, what is a dove-eyed flea?’ Experience is what you have left when everything else is gone. David says that his girl friend looks like a million dollars and all of it invested in the right places. Advice to the boy’s: A married man is much better informed than a bachelor. What he doesn’t know, his wife tells him. A doctor fell into a well. And broke his collarbone. A doctor should attend the sick, And leave the well alone. When you are good to others, you are always best to yourself. A long skirt is like prohibition. The joints are still there but they’re harder to find. ♦ Band Mother’s Club The Band Mother’s Club was formed in 1936 and has been a very active organization. It is now under the leadership of Mrs. W. J. Lockwood, president; Mrs. Dean Andrews, vice-president; and Mrs. H. E. Rachut, secretary and treasurer. This year they have served a Farm Bureau dinner on September 16, and the annual 4-H Club Banquet on November 6th, with a few of the band girls assisting as waitresses. When Mr. Wayne Keith gave a talk on his trip to Europe to sixty men, a few of the band mothers served lunch afterwards. The band members are very grateful to them for the cleaning of their suits this winter, and for the repairing of various instruments, and for the piano which they purchased. A Friend I will not think that I have failed. Or lived my life in vain. If to my credit I shall find One friend to be my gain, And tho’ the Road of Life is rough, With mountains hard to climb; I find there’s joy along the way, And the journey, it is fine. If there’s a friend beside me; To cheer me with his song, To smile his understanding, When everything goes wrong; It gives me strength and courage, The mountains to ascend, And I find that Life's worth living. As long as there’s a friend. Then be not hasty when I’m gone, To say I lived in vain, Tho’ ghosts of many failures, Like monuments remain, But when Life’s sun is sinking, And I reach my journey’s end; Then count my earthly riches In the number of my friends. Author unknown The Operetta Iolanthe On October 30, and 31, 1947, the Burt High School stage was converted into a mythical cove within sight of the House of Parliament in London, where a troop of fairies gayly danced, or played mischievous pranks on the dignified Peers. Iolanthe, who rashly married a mortal - - none other than the Lord Chancelor - - and thus incurred the penalty of life long banishment which she was serving out at the bottom of a nearby stream to be near her son, Strephen, is pardoned by the tender hearted Queen, only to become involved again in human affairs. Here Strephen, a shepherd lad who was half a fairy, disclosed his love for a mortal shepherdess, Phyllis. The haughty members of Parliament sought this lovely spot to pour out their love for the ravishing Phyllis, all in vain. Gay shepherds pipes, lovely fairies dancing and waving wands, silly Peers clumsily trying to trip a measure or two, and gay young voices interpreted the beautiful love story of a mortal and half a fairy by Gilbert and Sullivan.

GIRL'S BASKET BALL The Burt Girl's basketball team turned in a very good season this year by winning 20 and losing only 4 games, which were by very close margins. After losing opening games to Renwick and Lakota they took the next 9 games in line by very wide margins. Perhaps the toughest battle of the season was with Luverne during the Girl's County Tourna- ment when an overtime period occurred and the visitors went on to win 33 to 30. The following night Burt again fought a tough Whittemore team into an overtime, but won this one to take the consolation game. The Girl’s Sectional Tournament was held at Burt and in the opening round Burt drew a bye and defeated Hayfield the next night by a 47 to 6 score. West Bend, a State Tournament contender in 1946 knocked Burt out of the running by a close score of 36 to 35. Burt and Lakota tied for the State Line Conference lead and a play off was at Bancroft, with Burt taking all the laurels with a score of 38 to 33.

Baseball (Fall) The fall baseball season began by taking a 15 to 1 walloping at the hands of Lakota. The Burt baseball boys then knocked off Swea City, Lone Rock was defeated before Lakota dropped us with a 6 to 5 score. At the Sectional tournament at Bancroft, Burt defeated Algona (St. Ceclia’s) 10 to 6, and Lakota 5 to 0 before being defeated in the finals by Bancroft (St. John’s). Perhaps the best played game of the year was when we defeated Bancroft (St. John’s) 6 to 2 near the end of the season. Titonka, Fenton, Algona (St. Cecilia’s) and Swea City defeated us then, two of these games by a 1-0 score. Lone Rock defeated us 4 to 3 to end the season with a won 5 and lost 9 record.

Swea City, Armstrong, and Lakota beat them twice each, before the Thompson and Ledyard teams lost to us in the later part of the season. Lone Rock, Fenton and Grant fell to us early in the season. The addition of new suits seemed to bolster the teams morale, since six games were won of the remaining seven. Whittemore, Thompson, Algona (St. Cecelia) Ledyard, fell, with only Bancroft setting us back. During the county tournament Luverne beat us 53 to 31, but in the Sectional tournament Burt defeated Rodman before Algona (St. Cecelia) won in a very close game 36 to 35. Grant was defeated 32 to 16 to wind up the season with 10 wins and 15 losses.

Jane: Is the pressure on the whole dam, or just on one square foot? Mr. Officer: No, the pressure is on the whole dam surface. Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is to you. Ralph Waldo Emerson. 9th Grade English: The Freshman were giving descriptions of their classmates. Merton Steward gave a description of a boy and one of the main points was that he had freckles. Someone immediately guessed Dean Potter, which was right. Miss Baars: Your freckles always give you away, Dean. Kenneth Garman: Why doesn’t he shave them off? Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in our own sunshine. Ralph Waldo Emerson Kaye: Can you swim? Harold: Only at times. Kaye: Only at times ? How strange, and when do those moments come to you? Harold: When I'm in the water. Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power. Seneca. Jack: Say Dad, what are diplomatic relations? Dad: My boy, there are no such people. Marilyn D.: What step do you dance? Barney: The one-step. Marilyn: What do you mean, the one-step? Barney: One step and they change their minds about dancing with me! You can best enjoy the cream of life if you pour the milk of human kindness. Marten Vanbee. Gwen: The boy I had a date with the other night kissed me 50 times! ! ! Have you ever had a boy kiss you that often in one night? Helen: Of course not, boys only go for quantity when they can’t get quality. Jean: Why do you squint? Jim: It's my peculiarity. Everybody has a peculiarity. Jean: I don't have any. Jim: Do you stir your coffee with your right hand? Jean: Yes, of course. Jim: That’s what I mean, that’s your peculiarity. Most people use a spoon. When you are good to others you are always best to yourself. Basketball There is a game called basketball. Which really is much fun. The object is to get the ball, And throw it to another one. If you get the basketball, And you want your team to win. Shoot it at your basket. And watch the ball go in. Then for each made basket. You get at least one score. Guards throw the ball to forwards. And watch them score some more. And when you’ve, by yourself, scored ten. And think your works well done, Just try and get the ball once more And really have some fun. Myrna Weiske Winter The snow is white and shiny. The ground is very cold. The grass is covered over. And the trees look very old. You dress up in your snow clothes. And make a snow man too. And play until your mittens Are wet all the way through. Glenda Black A sultan at odds with his harem Thought of a way he could scarem He caught him a mouse Turned it loose in the house. Thus started the first harem-scarem. Art: Ma, can I go out and play? Mother: What? Arthur, with those holes in your trousers ? Art: Naw, with the kids across the street. Let every dawn of morning be to you as the beginning of life. John Ruskin The man from Texas was giving the man from Kansas a sales talk. “I never saw it snow in Texas”, he said, “but I have a grandpop who saw it rain twice.” The ragged bum rushed into the doctor’s office. “Doc!” he urged, “you gotta help me, I stuck a dime in my ear about ten years ago.” The medico’s hair stood up. “Good Lord, man!” ejaculated he, “Why have you wasted ten years? Why didn’t you see a doctor then? The bum shrugged, “To tell you the truth, Doc, I didn’t need the money at That time. Thus far the silliest story of 1948 has to do with the screwball who breezed up to the hotel clerk. “I want two separate rooms,” he ordered, “on the same floor.” Two separate rooms!” echoed the surprised clerk, “You’re alone aren’t you?” The nut nodded, “That’s right,” he said, “but sometimes I snore so loudly I have to go into another room to get some sleep!” Don’t worry about an occasional mistake. Life without errors would be exceedingly dull. Bert Estabrook. Give work rather than aim to the poor. The former drives out indolence, the latter industry.
