Teachers of Year Dear Diary: There will never be a graduate of John Burroughs High School that will forget your guiding hand. Whether it was in the classroom or practicing for that diploma, you were always there. And you will always be in our minds as the outstanding woman teacher ot 1951, Miss Dorothy Brockman. l Dear Diary: If it weren't for you, no one would know of John Burroughs. Taking tickets at the games or worrying about deadlines, you were always on the iob. If some- thing went wrong, we'd rush to you for help and advice. When we recall the memories of J. B. you will always stand out in our thoughts. You'lI still be covered with printer's ink, but you'll be the outstanding man teacher of 'I95'l, Mr. Stanley Aspittle.

Dedication Dear Diary: A In the past years of John Burroughs, there has been one person who has been hidden from glory. It is to this person that the real glory should be given. She has known more about John Burroughs High than any other person on this campus. She has attended our athletic events and cheered us on to victory. She has been seen at our plays and operettas. She has always been there when we need- ed a helping hand. We proudly dedicate our 1951 Akela to you, Miss Martha Jane Topping.

The Burroughs campus has been undergoing many changes in the past few years. First built as a Junior High, it was changed to a high school in 1948 to meet the growing demand for expansion. New buildings added to meet demand for expan- sion, such as our auditorium, buildings A and B, the girls gym, auto shop, art-iournalism buildings, and cafeteria have made our campus one of the largest and best in Burbank. ,,,2.f. t ..-aw' mn, g .
