Second, to Mr. Stevens, we leave the hope that future Seniors will not crack their gum in his classes or talk in the halls when passing to lunch. Third, to Miss Baars, we leave memories of the many pleasant and unpleas- ant experiences we've all shared in past English classes and in operetta, glee club, and mixed chorus rehearsals. Fourth, to Mr. Roscoe, we leave a large handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his brow after speech classes. Fifth, to Mr. Spade, we leave our aggravating nonsense, chatter, candy wrappers, and bubble gum to liven future English classes. Sixth, to Mrs. Foster, we leave various odors and mixtures from chemistry class to remind her of our experiments. Seventh, to Mr. Ihnen, we leave our gripes after losing a basketball game.

Junior: I figure that by the time I'm a man those radio brains will be able to do all the thinking for everybody. She: I'll bet you don't know what goes into a pumpkin pie. He: Teeth, of course. One difference between lightning and electricity is that lightning is cheaper. The judge told the defendant sternly: I can't think of anything worse than a man beating up his wife. What made you do it? Well, spoke up the man, she kept saying, 'hit me, go ahead hit me - and I'll have you brought before that bald-headed baboon in court' . Case dismissed, said the judge. Jim: Wassamatter, pal? Art: Oh, I'm reconciled to not doing well in my studies, but when my doctor tells me that I have a low-grade fever it gets me down. Teacher: (reading) The moving finger writes and having writ moves on. Emory: Teacher. Yes? My grandfather can't write with his finger, but he can fiddle with his beard. Nature puts her stamp of individu- ality on every man. Some people seem to spend most of their time trying to soak off the stamp. Bored Eskimo: White, white, always white. If only it would snow in technicolor. 20 Class Prophecy i It is July 11, 1966, as we arrive at New York City to see one of the biggest attractions of the world. What is it? Why it's Teeter's Greatest Show on Earth , the most stupendous three ring circus in existence. We hurry to the circus grounds, purchase our tickets, and start to follow the crowd to the big tent when we suddenly realize that the ticket seller is someone familiar. Of course, it's Madonna Vogel. As we near the tent, our attention is drawn to one of the numerous side shows. Chills race up and down our spines as we see deadly cobras sway in per- fect rhythm to the strangely fascinating music of a flute. We immediately re- cognize the snake charmer as Sharon Tellier of the Burt High class of '53. Step right this way, folks! Get yourselves a Poodle , the greatest little hot dog in the world, shouts the young lady in charge of a concession stand. To our surprise we realize that she is our old classmate Betty Riebhoff. Going into the tent, we hurry to our seats since the show is about to begin. The band starts playing, and the ring master appears. Doesn't he look familiar? Why, of course, it's Jovial James McMullen. Jovial James steps to the cen- ter of the arena, bows to the audience, and opens the show by announcing the greatest trapeze team of all time, Mike and Shelly . The names sound familiar, especially together, and after a moment's thought, we come to the conclusion that it must be Michael Scott and Rochelle Andrews. The children are laughing and pointing to a funny fellow with tufts of carrot- red hair, baggy pants, and feet a yard long. When we finally control our laughter, we agree that the voice and actions of the clown could belong to no one else than Arthur Campney. The band plays, the drums roll, and once again our eyes are drawn upward to gaze at the tight wire sixty-five feet in the air. There a daring young girl is risking her life to walk across the ten foot wire without a net below. As the spotlight is turned upon her, her name is revealed as Esther Hasse. When the suspense is ended, and our hearts are back in place, two dapple grey ponies come galloping into the center ring carrying two beautiful ladies. The ring master announces them as Phyllis and Alvina , the bare back artists supreme. In the second ring we see a well-dressed, long legged man perched upon a one wheel bicycle. Jovial James announces him as Rassy the Rider . Hear- ing that name, we know it can be no one but Richard Rasmussen. Ladies and Gentlemen, your attention please ! shouts the ring master. In the first ring you will find the man with more give to his skin than a two-way stretch, 'Edgar, the Elastic Skin Man'. Our attention is now drawn to a large elephant ambling slowly into the tent and bearing two riders. The first is Sherry Gifford, head elephant trainer, and the petite miss behind her is one of the littlest ladies in the world, Harriet Long. We hear a roar and turn our attention to the first ring where a man with blond hair and blue eyes snaps his whip at four snarling lions. We are informed that the brave young trainer is Bill Christiansen. Who'd ever thought that Bill would someday be the world's greatest lion trainer? After Bill has put the cats through their paces, we prepare ourselves for the fire-eating act. A man dressed in silver tights enters the arena with flaming torches. The crowd is in an uproar; surely he is not going to swallow the leap- ing flames? He tilts his head, opens his mouth, and the fire disappears, torches and ail. We are quite impressed, especially when we find out that it is Verdean Sleper. 21 Screams from the crowd quickly turn our attention to the third ring where a death-defying act has everyone on the edge of his seat. We see a dark-haired girl standing against a board while a man outlines her body with sharp knives. The fearless girl is Myrna Weiske, and the man is Lucky Laurence Stroebel. High in the center of the tent suspended in the air by a single rope a girl spins swiftly around, hanging on only by her teeth. Our curiosity is aroused, so we borrow the binoculars of the lady next to us, and Maxine Riebhoff appears be- fore our eyes. WTe hear a bark, but it doesn't sound like that of a dog. It's not a dog for there in the center ring are six seals happily tossing a colored ball from nose to nose. They form a little circle which encloses their trainer, who, we are in- formed, is Fern Krull. Our view is suddenly blocked by a bunch of gaily-colored balloons. Although she has changed considerably, we are still able to recognize the seller as Marie Gebken. A man tossing three plates, two bowls, and a rolling pin all at the same time with apparent ease catches our eye. His basketball playing back in Burt High must have helped Phillip Soderberg become such an expert juggler. The climax of the show is about to begin as a young lady dressed in a scar- let outfit places herself in the barrel of a giant cannon to be shot into a net four hundred feet away. Boom! The human cannon ball flies through the air, lands in the net, gets quickly to her feet, and waves gaily to the crowd. The pretty smile she flashes could belong to no one else than Mary Officer. The circus helpers bring in a large trampolene for the last act of the show. Two lively ladies come running in and start their difficult stunts. The ring master announces them as Colleen and Glenda , the world's greatest tram- polene team. As we leave the circus grounds, we see John Teeter, the owner of the big show. We inch our way through the crowd and ask him how he got started in this business. He tells us that when he decided to set up a circus, he asked the help of his classmates from Burt High School. They have been as co-operative in the circus as they were in school, he says. The circus has to start on its way to the next stop, so we bid John and his troupe farewell. Senior Play Old Doc......

THE CLOWNS We grades are the clowns of this big circus. Many older people laugh at us, but this only means that we are doing our jobs well. Since there are so many of us, we must have many instructors to teach us the tricks of life. Our teachers are: Miss Brennan, kindergarten; Mrs. Palmer, first grade; Miss Hase, second grade; Mrs. Andreasen, third grade; Miss Mertz, fourth grade; Miss Seter, fifth grade; Mr. Calhoun, sixth grade; and the high school teachers teach the clowns in the seventh and eighth grades. We especially enjoy entertaining our parents with the Christmas program, but we also ap- preciate our other activities of telling stories, crafts, parties, and music classes. All in all, we like this world of entertainment in which we live. A BIT OF HUMOR First grader to his four year old brother: The smart thing for you to do is not to learn to spell your first word. The minute you learn to spell cat you're trapped; from then on the words get longer and harder. Disgruntled daddy: How can you treat me this way, after I've given you the best years of my expense account? My brother's getting rich in Alaska. How? He's selling the Eskimos defective ice boxes as electrically-heated igloos. 33 Initiation Freshman Boys Freshman Girls Larry and Joan Art-MC Beverly and Wendell Calhoun, Hase, and Brennan Ellie and Mary Helen Oarell and Larry D.

As soon as the annual circuit started, work was begun on the operetta, The Beils of Beaujolois , which was very successfully given in October. The warblers made another appearance at the annual Christmas program. During the second half of the circus run, the Mixed Chorus was cut to fifty members, and practice was begun for the spring contest. Some of the main side shows were Girls' Sextette, Girls' Trio, Madrigal, Mixed Octette, and Boys' Quartet. Miss Brennan was our accompanist, and our ringmistress was Miss Baars. Band The circus band includes forty-six members. At the beginning of the year, they began working on numbers that were used in the Band Festival at Algona. Esther Hasse represented the band as queen. Later, they traveled to Lakota to be in a massed band concert. Two concerts were given during the year, and in February, practice began for the contest numbers. Special features of the band include Brass Sextette, Clarinet Quartet, Sax- ophone Quartet, and Clarinet Trio. There are seventeen little performers that hope to join the circuit soon. They practice daily and soon will compare with the best. Mr. Spade is the di- rector. Mary O. : I'm glad you're not two-faced. Bob F. : How do you know I'm not? Mary O. : If you were you would wear the other one. Art C. : I didn't play my usual 36 holes before breakfast. Bruce H. : Why not? Art C. : I couldn't find my harmonica. Mr. Spade: Have you ever been a drum majorette? Marie: 'Good heavens no--men follow me without a band. 44 Student Council BACK ROW: David Christensen, Donald Riebhoff, John Teeter (president), Mr. Stevens (Sponsor), Louis Krull, Jim McMullen.

To better cradle the infant, a small one-story schooihouse was erected in the southeast section of Burt, where Bill Garmans now live. This small building was soon overcrowded, and the Burt Select School was established in the winter of 1890- 91, to accommodate the ad- vanced grades. These classes were held in a second story room of the hardware and lumber office of J. D. McDonald. In March, 1892, the Burt Independent School District was organized with John Kerr, George Marble, and William Cork serving as the first board members. In the same year, on the present school grounds, a wooden schooihouse was erected which accommodated all the grades. The first buildings were abandoned to be used for various business purposes. This new building was used until 1910 when a brick building was constructed. The wooden structure was divided, moved east of the school, and was remodeled for dwellings. In 1936 an addition was built which afforded four new, roomy classrooms, and a splendid gymnasium-auditorium combination with a large stage to make possible more extensive athletic and dramatic programs. In the spring of 1937, fire destroyed the inside of the original brick building, and great loss was suffered. However, the damage was repaired in time for school to open on schedule in the fall. In 1948- '49 another addition was made: a building, erected east of the first addition, and housing the home economics and manual arts departments, and two buses. A highly popular hot lunch program is carried on which serves between 120 and 150 stu- dents daily in a dining room vacated by the Home Ec. department when it moved to the new building. Bus routes, served by three buses, were established in 1947. In 1948 the kindergarten department was added, and it meets in the south end of the dining room. Due to steady growth of the grades they have been divided from two grades to a room, to one. To accomplish this, two grade rooms on the first floor were partitioned to make two rooms of each, the sixth grade was moved upstairs to the Junior High room, the Junior High was shifted into the as- sembly for high school, and high school teachers take care of ail Junior High classes. 62 63 Snapshots 1.

In May of 1952, the Junior High people, under the able direction of their sponsor, Wallace Roscoe, pre- sented two one-act plays of the Wild Cat Willie series. They were extremely well performed, hil- ariously funny, and enjoyed by all, especially the players. To the left and below are a few snapshots taken during the plays. A Bit Of Humor Customer: I want four pork sandwiches to take out. Counterman (to cook): Dress four grunts to go walk- ing. Warning: Kids, if those toy trucks get any bigger their owners will be working instead of playing.
