A. I. BURTON Tribute To Mfr. Bwrton Although Mr. Burton has been called to a life beyond our powers of physical contact, he still lives-not only there, but here. For he has left his valued impression, not only upon this community, but across the breadth of this coun- try. His influence is indelibly woven into thou- sands of personalities, and through them, he still lives. His influence now belongs to the ages as it projects itself through our graduates and their influence down through the corridors of time. Mr. Burton was held in high esteem among educators throughout the state and nation. They recognized in him his sincere desire to build a better and more cultured civilization. Whatever EAST HIGH SCHOOL is, he is a very great part of it. He not only is a part of the tradition of this school, but he is one of the great influences tnat constantly emanates from it. Whatever it is that we call the EAST HIGH SCHOOL SPIRIT, he was to a very great extent, its keeper and moulder. He is a part of it, and it is a part of him. How fortunate it is that a man of such high moral character should be destined to the pre- eminent position of moulding human lives! As Edwin Markham says concerning the Great Wall of Life and Truth- To each man is given a marble to carve for the wall, A stone that is needed to heighten the beauty of all And only his soul has the magic to give a grace And only his hands have the cunning to put it in place. What a tribute and a compliment it is that The Creator intrusted Mr. Burton with such a pre- cious stone to carve, and what a consolation it is to know that he made no disgraceful marks upon it, but on the contrary the design was dignified and symbolic of high purpose. He was a splendid man with whom to work. He was always kind and helpful. He always tried to understand and help in solving prob- gems. In his home he was a gracious, friendly ost. He was a lover of music, and EAST HIGH SCHOOL felt the effects of it in a greatly expanded department of music. He was, him- self, talented along this line. Mr. Burton was a tireless worker, his broken health testifies to the fact that he carried more than his share of the world's burdens upon his shoulders. He certainly served humanity to his full capacity. To Mr. Burton we bow in respect and. in tribute to him, we dedicate this book. IUNB CLASS or 1940 MR. G. A. BINGHAM, Faculty Representative
