It is true that, if we compare ourselves with other institutions of our city and state, W: may still be regarded as pioneersg and yet, is there not danger in keeping for too long a period of time the feeling that we are still trail-breakers? Yve may overlook the rougher and cruder parts of the trail, which should by this time be smoothed over. After trail-breakers come the builders: builders of bridges from the old tothe newg builders of democratic cities where many may live and work together. John Burroughs Junior High is a democratic school, with its homes, business and governmentg and we are its builders. HALL MONTAGUE. A Farewell Message IME will not linger even for a class that has been as happy here, and as proud to be at john Burroughs, as our A 9's. The months from ,January to June have slipped away, marked by many delight- ful events as well as lessons learned. As president of the student body, l want to express my grateful ap- preciation for the honor and privilege of serving, and to reiterate my hearty thanks for the splendid co-operation given me. The opportunities and advantages enjoyed by our class at John Bur- roughs, where we have had the fine inspiration given us by Mr. Thomp- son and the faculty, will never be forgotten. We go forth from this Alma Mater with deep loyalty to the spirit of the Green and White, and a determination to always hold aloft the splendid standards and ideals of John Burroughs Junior I-Iigh. BOB MOORE. A Farewell to John Burroughs ITI-l the approach of graduation the members of the Senior Class look forward with pleasure to the last memorable events of the year: the coming class picnic, the party, and the graduation. All that is mingled with regret-regret at leaving all behind that we hold dear and are accustomed to. l-low much these months have meant to us! We are moving forward, stepping Ong yet to many of us it will be the happiest time of our life. I-lere, beneath John Burroughs' roof, we have learned many lessons not found in books-lessons of true co-operation, splendid school spirit, and a friendly smile for everyone We hope that when we leave John Burroughs and go to high school, we may take with us the spirit of the school. We feel that if we really practice the lessons learned here, and uphold John Burroughs standards, any school, anywhere, any place, will be glad to welcome us, and be proud to say we are a member. So, goodbye, John Burroughs. May you have the same pleasant memories of the A 9 class of S '25 as the A 9 class has of you. JANE MERCER. ff M9 def M X 1 A?

Q To our dear teachers we will bequeath, and devise, the memories of our brilliant and scholarly minds, with the fervent hope that those who succeed us will be equally brilliant. To the present B-9's we bequeath our proud position as A-9's, and also the 'honors we attained as such, including our assembly seats on the shelf. - - To whoever needs it most, Hollis Nelson leaves her remarkable gift of remembrance.

Yerp! yerp! answered Cap'n. This outburst was Lhe result oi a conversation between the master and mistress, which was overheard by one of the puppies. Now, these two L3n'ortunate little puppies wer: owned by an aristocratic and very fastidious couple, who followed every fad that came along. Maybe you have made a mistake after all, Bcmzof' barkecl Cap'n. No, Mistress said it was the 2'g1'y latest thing from Paris to have one's pets dyed to match one's gowng and tomorrow l am to be dyed maroon red to match that new dress of hers. Oh dear! Life isn't worth living, after allll' moanrd poor Bonzo. What will that new dog across the street think of me? Maroon red! Oh dear! l have it! barked Capin. l.et's run away. That night, whin the moon slipped behind a cloud and the little stars looked down like so many questioning eyes, two thoroughly fright- ened little puppies crept out of their dog-house and sallied forth into the world. The next day, when they were running across a road, a large motor car ran over Cap'n's tail. 'iYerp! yerp! Bow-wow! howled poor Capln. Just as you said, Bonzo, life isn't worth living, after all. Just then a sympathetic dog-catcher happened down the street and, seeing the puppies in their sorry plight, took them to the dog-pound. That afternoon a little boy and his mother went by. O mother, look at those darling little puppies! Why, they look almost alike! I wish I could have them. Well, sonny, you shall have them. I have been wondering all week what to get for your birthday, and now l knowf' answered his mother. Bonzo and Capln were immediately purchased: and about a month later the following conversation between the two puppies might have been heard: Yerp! yerp! Bow-wow! We're living a regular dog's life, now. DOROTHY CAMPBELL. The Lament of a Budding Genius FI! budding geniuses such as I Cwasj, listen to my tale of woe, and profit by my experience. I do not know when I decided to become an authoress, but I had always had literary aspiration. How- ever, at last it was settledg the die was cast: I was to become the au- thoress of my generation. i' Late one afternoon, while I engrossed in my writing, a 'voice called, Jane, come down and set the table immediately. H I objected seriously, as I had just had an inspiration: but it was of no availg I had to do it. When this had occurred repeatedly, I told my mother that I could accomplish nothing when interrupted so frequentlyg and she had the effrontery to tell me that I was lazy. Lazy! Think of it! Lazy!-when I was endeavoring to make our nafne famous! But I might have expected itg I had always been misunderstood. Geniuses usually are. On looking over the story I had been writing, I was displeased with it-no matter, it was my infant effort-so I wrote another that expressed my feeling perfectly. It was about a girl whose parents did not realize her true worth until too late-she died unappreciated. It was really a lovely story, so pathetic-I wept over it as I wrote. I sympathized with the heroineg I knew exactly how she felt. But the unfeeling editor of the magazine to which I sent it did not feel that way. He actually had the nerve to return it CI do not, as a rule, use slangg but it is so expressivel, and made some exceedingly caustic comments on the margin to boot-just what, I will refrain from repeating, as I do not wish to injure the misguided editor's reputation. Anyway, they were the cause of this outburst. N I want the world to see that it is discarding a pearl. It must be made to realize my value. Oh! I implore you, my readers, who feel that you have a message for the world, through art or literature, ex- press it-but expect no returns. The world is cold and cruelg it will never understand you. I-low could it, when it rejected my efforts? SARAH Lisr. The Man Who Won a Throne LEWELLYN went slowly down the path that led to the litttle brook at the foot of the garden. He swung the wooden bucket back and forth as he chanted, Splashing, dashing onward, downward, toward the waiting sea. The boy dropped on the grass beside the brook. From his pocket he drew one of his most cherished possessions, a piece of chalky stone, and wrote hastily the first line of his song on the bucket. Carefully dipping up the water, he went up the path to the little stone cottage. I-le was very silent at supper time. When his father took down the big Bible for the family prayers and asked Llewellyn to give his mem- ory verse, he did not seem to notice. Llewellyn, you may repeat your memory verseg your mind needs calling back, said his father. Splash- ing, dashing onward, downward, to the waiting sea, the boy replied. He was sent to bed in disgrace for trying to improve on the I-loly Scrip- ture. Daft Llewellyn, he soon came to be called, because at home and at school he thought constantly in rhyme. The name had been given him one day in his Latin class, when, instead of doing his Caesar, he was found writing verses on his book. Llewellyn, you may translate your lesson, said the teacher. Llewellyn hesitated. Read what you've written, insisted the master, and stammering and embarassed, Llewel- lyn read: All Gaul in threeiparts was divided, When Caesar rode through with his men, The battles were many and bloody, Before Caesar came that way again. t' A titter ran through the room. The teacher frowned, Poetry is out of place in the military tactics of Caesar. Please confine your trans- lations to prose in the future. The years went on. If he had beenlaughed at by his schoolmates, now men and women called in truth called him Daft Llewellyn. But one ideal was in his mind: To win the crown of Carnarvon at the 'tour- nament of poetry and songg and into his poem must go the rough beauty of his native mountains and the wildness of brook and glen. It was a weary journey over the mountainsg but he found many go- ing the same way, for the Eisteddfod was becoming a meeting place of all Wales. Contests of all kinds filled the first few daysg and then came the moment when the writer of the best poem would be crowned. The twelve bards, in their long white robes, tools their places in the famed bardic circle. The award for the best poem, said the chief of the bards, will be given this year to Llewellyn Gyneclcl of Llanidloesf' The poet stepped forward. His dream had come true. He heard a confused murmur. What were they saying? Many years agof' the old bard went on, ua boy in my Latin class recited his translation of Caesar in verse and received a severe reprimand. Today I am proud that it is given to me to place the crown on his head, for he has brought great honor, not only to his village, but to all Wales. ' And Daft Llewellyn bowed his head to receive the greatest honor his fellow-countrymen could bestow.

Foiled! f.l..l.., sheriff, I'11 take the money and attempt to deliver it to Allen, but with Harvey, the boy bandit loose in the woods, I'll not guarantee it will reach him safely. UDO your best, Jack. We can't ask more. Take plenty of powder with you. I'l1 go by way of the Old Trail. If I get through Narrow Pass safely, l'll be all right. Nvish me luckg l'm off. Good-bye, Jack. l'll expect to hear from you by sundown to- morrow. All went well for a time with big Jack Howell and his black horse. hill on the Old trail. just as the sun was sinking in the west, Jack reached the much dreaded Narrow Pass. For the one hundredth time he felt the heavy package in his breast pocket. If he could only deserve the trust and faith which the sheriff had placed in him! If he could reach Sandy Hills safely and deliver the money to Allen! Suddenly the horse stopped with a jerk that nearly threw him over the animal's head. Hands up! shouted a voice, and a masked man stepped into the path behind a tree on the side. Jack made a dive for his gung but glancing up, he saw five gun-barrels pointing over the edge of the rocks and five black masks under as many slouch hats. Up Went his hands, and with the thief's revolver digging him in the ribs hedis- mounted. Dizzy with disappointment and a feeling of defeat, he felt Harvey Cfor Jack recognized himj take the precious package from his pocket. Boys, keep him covered for five minutesln he said, turning to his masked companions on the hill. Without waiting for an answer, the young bandit stepped into the woods on the other side of the path and They passed the river and struck off through the woods across the disappeared. After what seemed ages, jack glanced cautiously up toward the five guns above. Would they fire? Could he defy them? Not a sound came from the motionless figures. Would they notice if he gradually lowered his hand to th: gun in his pocket? There were five men to his one gun. Scill he would try it. Slowly he lowered his right hand, which was nearest his gun. The five minutes must be up by now. His hand was nearly lzvel wi:l1 his shoulder, and no sound from the guards. Sud- denly sumrztcning all his courage, he grabbed his gun, whirled about, and fired. One black hat was knocked off, revealing a stick of wood. Running up the hill, he saw five sticks propped up against a ledge of rock, each with a hat on top. , Sick at heart, the big fellow turned down the hill toward home. , , JOHN FOSTER. Fairy Tales My hobby is a strange one, fairy tales. A whole shelf of my library is devoted to them, fairy tales from Serbia, the land of Erin, sunny Spain, and charming France. In my collection you might find tales from al- most every country in Europe and Asia. My friends consider my mania for collecting these books babyish, almost idioticg but I find them the most 'interesting and instructive of all my library. ln them are mingled the pathos and happiness of the peas- ants. And after all the peasants are the most important people of a European or Asiatic country. The personal traits, superstitious of the people, and often bits of history, are revealed to me. It is interesting to trace the relationship of fairy tales from one country to those from an- other. Then, too, the imaginative side appeals to me. Sometimes even morals are to be found, if one has bright enough eyes to detect them. Altogether, I think that the fairy tales of a country give one a better idea of its people and geography than any history or atlas. LEUA KAUFMAN. OBGRNIZHWNS A Kind!

The Dedication of John Burroughs HE dedication of John Burroughs Junior High School was held on January 2l, 1925. The exercises were very impressive, re- minding the student that it was his duty as a loyal pupil of John Bur- roughs to uphold the high sttandards set in the past year, and also that as every loyal citizen stands by his country, so should we stand by our school.

The following took part: Glen Morgan, Florence Han- son, and Harold Goldwater. The Printing Classes The printing classes of John Burroughs have been doing splendid work this term. Besides printing the Far and Near and the Burr, they have gotten out slips for the library, and merit, demerit, and other slips used by the attendance office, and promotion cards. Under Mr. Vogler's direction, the boys who have been chiefly responsible for our paper and semi-annual are: Dallas Bixler, Ross Hurst, Crissy Shimerda, Vernon Stultz, Reginald Watts, and Jim Wright. Mr. Taylor, the pioneer printing teacher, returned in the middle of this term. He immediately took charge of the work on the Burr, and much of the success of our splendid semi-annual is due to his untiring efforts. ' Far and Near JRING the present term the staff of the Far and Near, with the eo-operation of the entire student body and the assistance of Miss Baller, have made, the paper a great success. Each issue was filled with news items, jokes, home-room notes, stories and poems writ- ten by the students. The editorial staff is made up of A-9's who take journalism and the B-9 journalism students form the news board.

J A lVlany Burroughsonians demonstrated how proficient they were in different track events. There were three different classes--A, B, and C. This made it possible for the pupils to compete with students of their own size, which of course caused close competition in the dif- ferent classes. John Burroughs can justly feel proud of her budding Nurmis, Pad- docks, and Osbournes. ...L..1...-.i.l.l-. EVENTS . A 50-yard dash, standing broad jump, running high jump, baseball throw for distance, relay teams. B 75- and 220-yard dash, running high jump, running broad jump, baseball throw for distance, shot put, relay teams. C . 100-yard dash, 880-yard run, high and broad jump, baseball throw for distance, relay teams and 8-pound shot. Note: The Burr went to press too early to give the final re- sults of the meet. MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL The high standard of the national game at John Burroughs was certain'y upheld by the Minor League tcams. Every game was a close struggle featured by hard hitting and close scores. The six teams and their captains are: The Indians, Eddie Armstrong, captaing Yanks, Marvin Crawford, captaing Angels, jack Williamson, captain, Seals, I-lomer Woodling, captain: Mormons, Joe lVlasselin, captain: and the Pioneers, Merrie O'Connor, captain. During the first ten or twelve weeks the Yanks and the Indians alternated for first place. The other teams were close behind all the timeg and when the Burr went to press, who would win was a great mystery. The Seals had a good team: but when their captain, Jimmie Kirt- son, left school, they took a decided slump. I-lowever, under Homer Woodling they hit their stride and gradually came up again. The Angels had a wonderful nine, and they won their games with ease when all of their players would show up. The Pioneers decorated the cellar most of the time. Their main trouble was a lack of pep, and they didn't have any good hitters. Joe lVlasselin's lVlormons also trailed towards the last place. This was really a good team, and it braced up later in the season. Minor League Peanut Baseball As the Burr went to press, the outcome of this league was dif- ficult to foretell. The five teams which made up the league were evenly matched. Bruce Decker's and Ed Arensen's teams maintained a very slight lead most of the time. I-lowever, the other teams, captained by Harold Greenbaum, Leo Duntley, and Tom Sowder, were so close behind the leaders that anything might happen. All of the games were hard struggles with close scores. A surprising knowledge of the game was shown by all the mem- bers of the league, who for the most part were B-7's. ff' fx MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL NDOOR baseball-mention that word to a B. student. and instantly he will change from an unassuming pupil to a rabid base- ball fan. l-le will drive you frantic with strange statements such as, 'lf Downie hadn't biffecl a homer- The Tigers chewed the Griz- zlies, The Cubs were clubbed by the Giants, and so forth. After a while the fan will quiet down, and you will be informed that the Tigers' chewing the Grizzlies was not a tragedy at the Zoo but an account of a game at John Burroughs. But one cannot blame a fan for raving about these games. Baseball is easily the most popular sport at this school. The daily games are always exciting conflicts. Close scores, hard hitting, fast fielding, and home-runs by the home-run kings, Art Downie, Hank Mallman. Ralph Pfieffer, John Chapman, and Rusty Cline all go to make baseball popular at John Burroughs. The eight teams and their captains are: Giants, Rusty Cline, cap- tain, Farmers, John Chapman, captaing Mechanics, Phil Gerald, cap- taing Merchants, Desmond Richardson, captaing Grizzlies, Ralph Pfief- fer, captain, Tigers, Bill lVlcCready, captaing Trojans, Art Downie, captaing Cubs, Merrie Weeks, captain. The Farmers jumped into the lead at first, but gradually went down to fourth. Cline's Giants and the Trojans alternated for first during the first ten weeks. As this went to press, Chapman's Farmers were coming up st ong, and it is impossible to predict what the outcome will be. The Grizzlies were keeping right up with the leaders, but hard luck overtoolf them when Ralph Pfieffer, their hard-hitting captain, broke his arml The other teams were all good, hard-hitting aggregationsg and as only el few games separated the leaders from the tail-enders, we can only hoph that the best team will win. MINOR LEAGUE BASKETBALL OE lVlasselin's team, consisting of Roger Lewis, Ed l..a Bart, Andy Tucker, James Learmont, and Harold Delaney, fought their way to first place in this league. Ressar l'leath's melon-tossers were second. They lost the final championship game to Masselin by a close score. This was a thrilling game, Ed La Bart coming through with a basket for Masselin in the last minutes of play. Both of these teams played wonderful basketball, and showed lots of fight at every encounter. Kenny Fay and his gang took thirdg Barney Wenger, fourthg Clarks l.ommers, fifthg Manuel Beaver, sixth: and Norman Schlank, seventh. Raymond Cohn also had a team, but he was chased by hard luck and dropped out of the leagueq l-le lost all of his games mainly because his players wouldn't show upg and they also lacked pep, which is an essential in basketball. Joe lVlasselin's winning combination was guarding. In the last game for the championship, Ressar's forwards found his guards impenetra- ble. Masselin also had a wonderful forward in Ed La Bart. This stellar player could certainly sink the casaba. His wonderful shots cinched many games for Masselin. However, good guards and for- wards are not the only things that go to make a winning squad. If some of the quintet had improved their ragged teamwork instead of special- izing on individual play, the results of the league might have been very different. -------- ' Minor Peanut Basketball League Eddie Arensen's team, consisting of Duane Parsons, Harold ln- glehorn, Norman Nelson, Robert Reed, Carrington Lewis, and Wlilford Howry, battled their way to first place in this league. I-le certainly deserved to win, for his team showed pep and fight all the time. Charles I-loward and his team took second place. This team fought like everything, but they just tdicln't seem to have the winning punch that Arensen's team had. Edwin Elliot, whose team took third, also had a well-rounded squad, but they didn't have the ability to win tight games. Cellar honors descended on Blumberg's quintet. 9. Lessons become too great a burden for the A-9's and B-9's. Special assignment days from now on. CWe don't mind .this at all., l8. Arthur Katzev, with the noble aid of Bob Kaufman, starts working for Burr subscriptions. I-lerman Hatch, with his Ad-get- ters, is busy persuading people to put ads in the Burn - Major Peanut Baseball League OUR teams comprised this league. As in the Peanut Basketball League, most of the players were lightweights. However, they certainly did play with pep and skill all of the games contested. At the beginning of the year the outcome was very uncertain. The struggle finally, however, narrowed clown to two teams, Hampton's Printers and John Steele's Pirates. The Printers maintained a slight lead during the first ten weeks, but the Pirates were always dangerous contenders for first placeg so it was impossible, at the time the Burr went to press, to predict the winner. Gym Office Assistants The boys' gym office assistants did creditable work this last term. They were of great help to Mr. Swarthout and Mr. Jones, who were too busy to attend to all the small details of gym work. These assistants were as follows: Jack Lindsay, Kenneth Boyd, Claude Ault, Don Press, John Bowen, Edward Jones, Hall Montague, Philip Gerold, Harold Rubenstien, David Rosenthral, Russel Cline, Bill McCready, David Wiesand, and Kendrick Laird. Gym Office Help As the number of girls was greatly increased this term, more help- ers were needed. The offic helpers take care of the books, and the coaches help the girls with their game work. The girls who have so faithfully served this term are: Mary Ellen Nowlin, Elsie Preston, Vesta Riskin, Mary Lee Koster, lone Buxton, Ruby Budd, Jane Pearson, Virginia Nelson, Rosemary Weaver, Veda- bell Tollefson, Lorraine Bouslca, Gladys Osterloh, Eleanor Ball, Helen Duerr, and Elizabeth Everett. Also Betty Borden, Maryanna Cooper, and Sarah Jane Kipple, in charge of the nutrition class. i Class Team Captains All the girls' gym classes had teams, so every. girl would get a chance to play even if she did not care to be on the Noon League. The class captains for basketball were as follows: A-9: Eva Stienbock, Ruth Nickerson, Selma Blumburg, Jane Durant, and Edith Wallin. Edith Wallin was the winner of the A-9 class championship. The B-9 captains were Esperanza Lopez, Rosemary Weaver, and Mary Dorman. The A-8's had as their captains: Jayne Wilson, Ruth Solomon, Delda Smith, and -Salena Stuben. Salena captained the winning team. The lower grades had, as their main sport, captainball. The cap- tains were: B-8: Esther Eaton, Marie Partaman, Adele Johnston, Juanita Esrey, and Madeline Phillips. A-7: Jane Jaslculek, Ruth Dare, Mary Thomas, Wilma Konold, and Eleanor Sweet. B-7: Alice Jane Ballard, Lillian Katz, and Lorna Biermeister. League Captains The league teams are very active this term. The A-9 captains are: Mary Lee Koster, Barbara Knepper, and Verna Moran. Mary l..ee's team has the basketball championship of the A-9 class. Jane Harris and Rosemary Weaver are the B-9 captains. Jane's team has the highest score. The A-S's were captained by Elizabeth Clizbe, Delda Smith, and Patty Fowler. Patty has the winning team. The captainball teams had as their captains: B-8: Margaret Suttle and Betty Bancroft. Margaret Suttle's team was the winner. A-7: Alice McKey, ,Esther Alberti and Ruth Wilson. Alice won the championship. B-7: Jeanne Roberts and Alice Sterling. Alice Sterling is the winner. Captains of Classes This year every class, with the exception of the A-9, had one cap- tain. The A-9's had two. The captains took charge of the demerits, line credit, and many other things that would otherwise be left to Miss Webster or Mrs. Daniels. The A-9' captains were Mary Lee Koster and Marion Dale. The B-9's were supervised by Jane Harris. The A-S's had jean Yourelg the B-8's, Edythe Thompsong and the A-7's, Rosalind Farnsworth. The B-7 captain was Russelia Fay. l- Champion League Teams Kostefs Team. The two best players on Koster's team were Marion Dale and Evelyn Rishebarger. Koster won five games and lost one. She lost to B-9 Harris. Harris' Team. Harris vwon four games and lost none. She de- feated Weaver twice, and A-9 Moran and A-9 Koster, each, once. Fowlefs Team. Four games were won and two lost by Fowler's team. Fowler's opponent was Smith, and she played bravely against her. Sutile's Team. Suttle lost only one game and won four. She had a very good team. I McKey's Team. McKey can be given a great deal of credit, as she won five games and lost none. Sterling's Team. Sterling won three games and lost four. Her best players are: Gertrude Carton, Mary Berry, Margaret Lynch, and Dorothy Lesy. Ml-.--i1 SWIMMING CLUB The members of the Swimming Club go to the'Y. W. C. A. every Friday for lessons. There are four classesg and the girls, after being tested, were grouped according to their ability. Fifty-five girls of John Burroughs are members of the Swimming Club. MAJOR LEAGUE BASKETBALL ASKET Ball shared honors with baseball in being the most pop- ular sport at John Burroughs. Eight teams, piloted by Abe Ro.en, Deane Vvilliams, Richard Chapman, l-lerman l-latch, Tom l-lopper, Harold Coldwater, John Foster, and Chili Eckert, made up the league. The two courts were the scene ol many hectic battles. Snappy teamwork and dazzling shots kept the spectators on their feet all the time. Clean play was in evidence most of the time, and poor sportsman- ship was rarzly shown. Generally speaking, a high standard of basket ball was maintained throughout the season from both an onlooker's and a coach's standpoint. Abe Rosen's bunch of Hcasaba slingersn took the lead early in the season and were never headed off. They showed that they were of championship ability by winning every game. Abie had a world of material in Rusty Cline, Desmond Richardson, Todd Barrington, Phil Rothman, and Archie Haworth. They played like machines, win- ning most of their games by big scores. The other teams fought hard but Rosen's bunch was just simply too good to be beaten. Second place was closely contested by four teams. Deane Will- iams'quintet finally emerged victorious by a small margin. He had two stars in John Chapman and Kenny Knight. The three teams led by Richard Chubby Chapman, Tom Hopper, and Herman Hatch, that gave Williams such a battle, were a triple tie for third. Each of these aggregations fought valiantly, but they didn't have the stars and the winning punch. In a wild scramble for cellar honors, Chili Eckert's team won, with John Eoster's a close second. Chili's gang lost eight and Won none. Foster was not much better, winning only one lone conflict. Har- old Goldwater also trailed behind. He had a fair team, but was handi- capped by hard luck. Eckert and Foster were pursued by old man Jinx. They just couldn't get organized, and the breaks were always against them. Major Peanut Basketball League OUR teams started out with a bang in this league, and afforded much competition. Later in the season, however, two teams grad- ually drew away from the rest of the field. Finally, finding themselves hopelessly outclassed by Bob English's Sea Hawks and Frank Jones's Flaming Youths, the two trailing teams dropped out of the race entirely. l'lampered as they were by irregular playing time and poor refer- ees, these lightweight teams made a creditable showing. Good sports- manship was in evidence at every game. While the teamwork was not of the best, much flashy individual play was seen. Some of the for- wards became quite proficient at sinking the melon, and many spec- tacular shots, too, helped to make the Major Peanut games interesting. Finally, after a hard struggle, Fraqk Jones's Flaming Youthsf' beat out Bob English's Sea Hawks by a few games. Our Stay At John Burroughs We, the second graduating class of John Burroughs, are saying farewell to our Alma Mater. Many of us have been students of John Burroughs for three terms, others have attended but a few brief months. Yet all have enjoyed the efficient faculty, spacious class rooms, and grounds, together with many other advantages offered by John Bur- roughs. Some of us have made brilliant marks: others have merely slipped through. Some have been leadersg others, followers. Today We stand for the last time as one body, the class of Summer '25. To- morrow we shall be broken up into a thousand fragments. Yet in a sense we shall always be held together by our common memories of John Burroughs. All must feel a tinge of sorrow on leaving the school which will stand for much in thoughts of our school days. May we remember as we leave these portals for the last time, that John Burroughs has done her share for us, and as our share towards her it is up to us to play the game fair. ,I I' - K!
