The book presents the school year in chronological order, from those balmy September days of 1952 through the joyous days of June in 1953. The year- book depicts in the order of occurrence those cold football nights, swell dances, laugh-filled assemblies, the fun of seeing your friends in the plays, crowded basketball bleachers, the thrill of the Senior Play, all the spring sports, and finally the long-awaited graduation and vacation. The year is pictured as you remember it - as it happened. The fun and happiness of these days could never have been complete without the unfailing advice and friendship of our faculty. Ifsiggto these loyal friends that we dedicate the 51953 Akela. if 'i Q M g - Q 'is . QM, f to ,mwfum 01,1922-p-nfl 'ii-'.Q, Q,af,1,,,.t':l.

Among the newer buildings gracing the campus is the spacious auditor- ium with a seating capacity of 1499. The Industrial Art building includes metal, print, and wood shops. One of the luxuries of our campus is the 90 toot swimming pool.

Mr. Weybright is always willing to talk to groups of students and welcomes their ideas. He very rarely registers disapproval on any student activity and can usually be found enioying himself along with the students. Miss Topping, his secretary, is someone Mr. Weybright and J. B. couldn't get along without. Top Brass Plan Year The Administration cannot be confined into one month's activity. They are always busy, winter and summer. The Admin- istrators set the tone for life on the Burroughs campus. They dis- cuss student problems and act- ivities. Every person in the Admin- istration has his particular iob, but they all take part in many other campus activities. Busily discussing a current problem are Ted Kopp, Mrs. Ruth Straley, and Art North. Mr. Kopp divides his time between Burbank High and John Burroughs, where he is kept busy scheduling programs. Mrs. Straley, Dean of Girls, has aided many of the J. B. girls in their problems with studies or their sociel lives. Mr. North, Dean of Boys, is the counselor for the boys and also for the Boys' League. l The Administrative Cabinet, shown aoove, is a group that sets many ot k our school policies, but never receives any acknowledgment for their work. Its members are, left to right, Ted Kopp, Mrs. Ruth Straley, Miss Dorothy Brockman, Vernon Weybright, and Art North. They give their approval and suggestions on activities for the students and faculty. Her iob is to keep the reserv ion nurse, divides her time e een Monterey School an J. B healthy. Miss Mila F our Un the left is Irene McDowell busy on the telephone. Seated at her desk is Helen Rangel, while Toni Vouk is hard- at work on the files. These three attendance office sec- retaries are kept busy all day with questions from the faculty and students. Below and to the right are shown Fern Rorke and Lanora Williams, Burroughs' librarians. Usually they can be found giving help to students or busily keeping the library books straight. All the Indians know these two helpful ladies. ff' Eff dx.- Ng? Z H ,Y ' . ,,,, ,.., .

From left to right are, seated: Ronnie Reeves, Joe Schirard, Joann Lockett, Marilynn Darling, Ellen Passick, Sandi Hall, Phyllis Reily, Armida Luna, and Audrey Freeman. Standing are: Mrs. Helen Manezon, Paul Williamson, Pat Siler, Thomas Marshall, and Roy Weber. Pictured above, in one of her rare moments of relax- ation in Jo Ann Lockett, who wqs elected as editor for this year's Akela. Jo Ann, a popular Senior B, WGS chosen because of her past experience on the 1952 Staff. It was largely through her hard working effort that this book came about. This year the Akela staff started to work with only a few verienced members on the staff. Thri gh Editor Jo Ann Lockett and Thomas Marshall, Akela advisor, the work got off to a good start. There were a few times when the staff .was worrying about deadlines, but things usually came out all right. Anyone who wandered into the class about deadline time might have been overwhelmed by the confusion of twelve people trying to meet the deadline. Finally, through all of this confusion, there emerged the 1953 Akela. Finance editor was Bbfly Saylor. Calendar Makers The Production Print Shop and the Press Photo Class take a major part in the production of the Akela, but get very little notice. When the staff or- ders a picture, it has to go to the photo class to be taken. After the layouts are ready and all of the pictures taken, the print shop can begin printing. Another department that gets little notice is the art class. They have the responsibility of all the division pages, drawings, and cartoons in the Akela. It is through the ioint efforts of these groups that a school annual is possible. Members of the production print shop who printed this book are Darrell Doran, Ken Hisel, Don Jones, Richard Petri, Gene Sader and Aaron Simmons. They are shown above working on a layout for the offset press. Members of the Press Photo class, under the direction of Wilbur Day, were kept busy dur- ing the year taking pictures for the Akela. Shown left to right are: standing, Leonard Nicodemo, Ronnie Reeves, Jim Faith, Sue Faulkner, Gabriel Stahl, Don Jones, and Herb Pearl. Back row, Joe Schenk, Allen Spang, and Gene Sader. Left. Pictured from left to right are art editors Dixie Bowling, Marlene Jackson, and Joel Jacobs.

Z The important iob of cashiering this year was invested in these four girls, Donna Nes- bnt, Gloria Wallace, Margie Derrick, and Carol Pack fi Q as Time Out For Lunch A typical scene during either lunch period is witnessed above. This daily lunchtime scene is enlivened by the sparkling chatter coming from each table and the blaring iukebox. ln the upper photo is shown J. B.'s busy cafeteria force. These ladies have charge of the tedious task of preparing and serving a daily lunch to 250 students. ln the lower photo is another industrious group, the janitorial staff. The continudl neatness and well kept look around campus are due to these custodi- ans. Left to right, top row, are Bob Hamilton, Gerhardt Staraszacher, Frank Ranslem, Frank Brooks, and Pdul Pereau, bottom row, Bill Gat- tenby, lnez Pedigo, Al Perkins, and Lester Rogers.

Rallies Round Out September Besides pepping up our team these songleoders added a bit of glamor to this rally. They are left to right: Ken Corwin, Tom Marshall, North Nelson, Bill' Flora, and Elvin Hutchison. The spirit at the rallies this year has been wonderful. We have had many good ones such as theoutside rally for the Hoover game. None of us will forget the girls' football team and the big Burbank rally. AU fin 7'7..n1 F Wow 1 o J QVCMS f 14 t The Leaders Hugh Allen, shown above at a Legislative Council meeting, ,has shown that he can hold his own in student government as well as on the trackefield. Hugh as A.S.B. President 'represented us well at, Foothill League Forum and at other schools and always left a good impression of John Burroughs on thepeople he met. He worked hard for the students and saw ,many of his ideas and platform promises go into effect. Stepping into Hugh's shoes is Keith Groneman, shown at the right during an assembly. Keith's abili- ties are great and hisfine nomination speech won him many compliments., He served us as president with the same quiet efficiency with which he tackles every iob.

B. finance, but still finds time to be the advisor for the A.S.B. In the student store, he sells everything from soup to nuts. U S ' 'N ix The winter semester student body officers as shown above are Pat Siler, Secretaryg Jody Hen- dricks, Auditor: Jack O'Rourke, Vice President. Their administration saw many accomplishments such as the first inter-class competition day and establishing the new constitutional amend- ment providing for class officers. The Executive Council also took an active part in the Foothill League Forum. Pat's fingers have now become permanently curved over the keyboard typing minutes, and figures continually dance through Jody's head. Jack took over any extra iob or duty asked of him. Elected in January, 1953, were the new A.S.B. officers shown below. Al Adelini, always active in Legislative Council, took over the office of Vice President with a good knowledge of the iob. Pat Siler and Jody Hendricks re-claimed their jobs of Secretary and Auditor in a re-election. Both girls did fine iobs keeping their records straight. These officers will be remembered for their work on the students' behalf and for the spirit of co-operation they had with the faculty. Al Adelini - A-5-5 WCG PfeSiCl0f1Y Pat Siler - A.S.B.

M Fall Days Are Pep Days Adding pep and spirit to an especially dismal football sea- son this year were the Song and Yell Leaders. This is one of the hardest jobs around school, and they certainly proved that a lot of practice had been put into the routines. Win or lose, they were there at I every game.

Len DeGennaro and Jim Holt were chosen as team Co-captains. Both players were iniured during the season and were forced to miss a few games. Because of their absence from these games, they were un- able to compete for All League honors. Left are Bill Howard and Mike Henry with the trophies they won for being the out- standing back and lineman of the year. Bill, who is only a Junior, is not only a ter- rific runner, kicker, and passer, but he is a real sportsman on and off the field. Mike Henry won his trophy for being the outstanding lineman. He played both right and left tackles. He is also a Junior. Shown here are the Varsity Football Letterwinners.

The Indian Varsity opened their season this year with a trip of ll2 miles up to East Bakers- field , where they clashed with a powerful East Bakersfield Blades team. The score at half-time was 6-0. But the Blades made seven more, and the game ended T3-6. Thus the Indians took their first long ride home. The second game was played at Redondo Beach. The CIF powerhouse team started off with a I3-0 lead in the first half. After the band marched, they came back and make it 26-0. The Redmen came close to scoring, but never did. The powerful Redondo team went on to CIF hon- ors. The third tussle was a very hard fought game against North Hollywood Huskies on the Van Nuys field. The only score of the game occurred in the last 30 seconds of the first half, on a pass play by North Hollywood. The score ended 6-0. Dave Adelman was chosen as Athlete of the Week. League play started and so did Burroughs. The Indians got off to a great star. in the first half that was all theirs, l2-0, but after the half the John Muir Colts came roaring back to score 20 points in the third quarter, and the game ended 20-12. Jan Lloyd was the outstanding player. The second league tilt was played against Glendale Hoover. The powerful Tornadoes dom- inated the whole game. The half-time score was 13-0. The bands marched at half-time and really put on a show, and so did Hoover as they came out after the half and wallopped the disheart- ened Indians, 33-7. Our third league game was played at Glen- dale. It was a pretty even ball game except- in score. At half-time Glendale led, 7-0. They scored again in the third period to make it 'I3-0, and that's the way the game ended. Burroughs had now lost six stright games. Was this going to be a perfect season? We hit South Pasadena with our new T formation and the game actually wasn't as bad as 35-I2 sounds. Except for a few passes, our de- fense was good. Our T ' offense chalked up more yards and scored as many points as had been done in League play against South Pasadena. Look out Burbank! But we should've been looking out for Bur- roughs as we took a terrific beating from our cross town rivals Burbank, 33-0. But there's always next year. Besides its harder to take a loss than a win. This year we had eight chances to prac- tice losing, next year it's the other team's turn. .Jn M W 2' LfV' if 'jx If N' 'M ,- , 4, .. 3,5 :awww ig W Pk ,, pk. 54 ?i2?3s?5 if 3: mav- OMH ' 096620553 ammsumnen f ff 'z E525 , if ,f M2 T t' f ? : 7,2 At the left is head couch of Beellootbollxen Corwin and assistant coach Norton Nelson.

From Riches To Rags John Burroughs' Braves wound up a not too successful season with hopes of retaining their form of old, come 1953. Hampered by the loss of Joe Panarisi in the East Bakersfield tilt, the Redmen couldn't seem to find a combination that would click. Opening the season against East Bakersfield, the Indians were penalized a total of 115 yards, which told the story of the game. This was more yardage than the Tribe gained and one of those penalties called back what could have been the winning t.d. Final score was 6-0. Redondo snowed a fine defense as they blanked the Warriors by a 13-0 count. The Sea- hawks thwarted Burroughs passing at every turn. Against North Hollywood the Braves broke into the win column for the first and only time. Sophomore tailback, Tom Pulford, put the tribe ahead fo stay and showed promise of good things to come with his fine running. Opening Foothill League play, the Redmen bowed 27-12 to a determined Colt crew. Muir wanted this one to avenge their previous defeats during the Tribe's championship yea rs. Hoover bowled over the Warriors with a vengeance making up for two years past when the Tribe slipped by them for the crown. Last year's loss left a 'bad taste in their mouths, and they changed that with at 50-12 trouncing of the Papooses. Glendale followed suit, winning 31-13, and South Pasadena iumped on the band wag- on for a 27-13 ride. Against Burbank the Redmen were not given much of a chance, and until the fourth quarter the action bore this out. However, with the score 18-0, the Tribe exploded for two quick touchdowns and appeared to be headinq for a third when Father Time said, No more. The final score was 18-13. 23 Mulr ..................... .. ....... . Hoover .... .......... ....... Glendale ..,..................... Burbank ............... ......

The club was organized mainly to let the kids get together who have the same interests in the same things. Namely, to learn a little about France, the language and the people. The girls below form the backbone of the Future Business Leaders of America. Although the club was not officially formed, these girls do such things as mimeographing, typing and the stencil- ing of tests for the teachers at Burroughs. Pictured above are the Campus Christians. In its second year, the club has really grown. The club is o means 2 for those who are already going to church to gain a broader outlook on other churches, and to try to interest those who are not already attending one. The meetings which are held weekly at lunchtime, are enlight ennd by theological sneakers. Shown with its advisor Mrs. Irene Classetty is the Latin Club. This club's main project for the year is making plans for the an- nual Roman Banquet be- tween Burbank and Bur- roughs Highs, as close as possible to the ldes of of March. The purpose of the group is to further the interest in Latin at Bur- rough. Members are from the second year class of Latin and'those who have had two years. 'n uttered from the lips of a Spanish Club member for this is Meet you at Kikosl , is one of the most common sayi g , where they hold many of their meetings, eating tacos and tortillas.

She must also attend a certain number of potlucks and playdays. At the two semi-annual G.A.A. Banquets, the letters and first year stars are awarded to the girls who earn them Then they are eligible for this club. Sponsored by Miss Bobbie Lewis for three years now, the club's main pur- pose is to let the girls with better athletic skills get together and have some fun. This year the Lettergirl's main proiect was the sponsoring of the new Sports Dances, which proved to be a great success. Every other week the girls have a meeting which is followed by on hour of sports. Pictured below is the Lettermen's Club. The purpose of this club is to create more enthusiasm and spirit among the student body for all sports. Something new this year was their sponsoring of a gold trophy for each sport. Each outstanding or most valuable player for each individual sport received one of these trophies. The sports were football, basketball, baseball, track, and tennis. Another main activity this year was their ioint meetings with the Lettergirls. After the meeting they played various games such as volleyball, basketball, ping pong, and swimm- mg Sponsored by Mr. Bob Voss, a new event was their Sports Banquets held at the end of each sport season, and honorinq all boys who participated in that particular season. This year the club, which is mainly a service club. did more for John Burroughs than any other year. 15 Sponsored by the Magnolia Park Kiwanis Club, shown above is the Key Club. The members of this club are those boys who 'lf service for our --chool, One of their u-elects this vear was ' seinng programs ui the Burbank- Burroughs football game togeth- er with the Z Club. Another annual function is the luncheon held in honor of the Kiwanis Club, and the planning of Career Day comes in the spring. The club is sponsored at Burroughs by Stan Aspittle and Ray Hros- L 7' .

A new project this year was the selling of Foot- ball programs at the Burroughs-Burbank game with the Key Club. The Z Club's biggest proiect for the year is making plans tor the annual Career Day held at Burroughs. Meetings are held once a month between Burbank High and Burroughs High. They are joint meetings, and they are alternated between schools. Each month the meeting is enlived by a speaker. A continuation, of succeSSfUl Girls' .

Promenades like the one in the upper photo added to the success of Date With Dad. Backward Week found various assortments of sucker-smeared faces, hair hidden by large, colorful hats and bandanas, and slack or pedal pusher-clad girls, prominent in loud shirts. Maia Janson was the 14 year old Latvian war orphan sponsored by the Girls' League. As the year progressed, the Girls' League never led a dull moment. With the advent of a new semester, sophomores were given a helping hand from Big Sisters, who took them to classes and helped them get ac- quainted with the campus. Led by two capable cabinets, headed by Mar- ilyn Burns, first semester, and Janice Devine, second semester, the girls found themselves busily planning two Backward Dances, Back- wards Week, and Date With Dad. One of the most worthwhile proiects was the co-sponsorship with Burbank High of 14 year old Latvian war orphan, Maia Janson. The opening Grand March, where each girl promenaded with her best beau, her Dad, the sucker-covered faces at Backards Week, collecting donations for the Maia fund, and the Senior Tea will always remain in the hearts of the girls at J. B. as highlights of their proiects for the year. i Adiusting Elvin Hutchisons hat and tie, Dorothy Lombardi and Kay Wilkerson illustrate the mood set on campus during Backward Week, which was climaxed by the Backward Dance, the Turkey Twirl.

Mr. Browning, Drama advisor, has put in many extra hours during the school year, working on the dramatic presentations. The first dramatic presentation of the school year was The Great Big Doorstep, a play showing the life of a poor family along a southern riverbank. Adding authenticity to the setting was the large load of sand covering the stage. Shown above at dinner care, from left to right: Sidney Gardner, Marilyn Woods, Lynne Wexler, Carol Coons, Jackie Kirk, Ray McReynoIds, Warren Hernand, Mike Cos- tello, Kenny Ellis, Connie Anthony, Harold Carlock, and Beverly Yarrow.

A Time Out Of Class One of the many assemblies enioyed by the Indians was that of the House of Magic. Assembly today, is an an- nouncement greeted by all with shouts of ioy. This year our as- semblies were as varied as the leaves of a calendar. September and October found our calendar full of many rallies and assem- blies, like the House of Magic. November brought the Talent As- sembly, which both entertained and amazed us at the talent our friends had. Of course, there was the traditional Thanksgiving As- sembly when all gathered to give thanks. The page slips, and the merry month of December comes into view with the beautiful an- nual Christmas Assembly. The rest of the months rolled by, with graduation and the Senior Play, the Dance Performance, and the Operetta, and suddenly we found ourself with amazement on the leaf of June. K The Christmas Assembly was celebrated with the tra ditional tableau of the shepherds and wise men herald ing the arrival of the new born Christ child. N-C Moving Through Highest of the lower classmen are these Senior B's of Mrs. Elaine Ewart, Mrs. Irene Classetty, and Mrs. Sally Beaton. Senior B's study international problems such as Korea. Great Britain, and the Near East. The Ranks The Junior A's shown here are under the guidance of Mrs. Sally Beaton. They study grammar and literature and plan for their senior year of leading the school. ' J, W ,AQ 5 if ,ii MVK M .4 a l! Every guidance class is repres- ented in Legislative Council and Mrs. Elaine Ewart's and Mrs. Theodosia Wilkinson's Junior A classes are no different. In class they have discussions on school policies and on any problems that come up. This way every student, underclassman or not, has something to say in school government. M U f , ZWZ Mrs. Theodosia Wilkinson's col- lege prep Junior A's are shown here during a welcome relief from classroom work. Every Junior A who passes through Mrs. Wilkinson's class has an excellent knowledge of com- mas, short stories, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Self-Reliance . They also learn the law of the blue pencil and not to chew gum in class. 55.4 Although these students were Sophomore A's when this pic- ture was taken, they have now advanced to the standing of Junior B. Mr. Ed Williams, their guidance teacher, helps them plan all their programs so that when the time comes for grad- uation they will have enough credits and all the required sub- iects behind them. Shown above are Mr. Ed Wil- lialms' remaining two classes. Also on this page are Mr. Robert Freidman's special training class and his Sophomore A class. All alone in this group is Mr. James Lewis' Sophomore A class. Every guidance class at Burroughs is always willing to contribute to such charitable organizations as the Junior Red Cross and the March of Dimes. They also have a contest each year for the P.- T. A. membership drive. Taking time out from their busy schedule as Sophomore A's are Mr. James Lewis' classes. Sopho- mores always seem to have the best school spirit and can al- ways be counted on to come to games and dances. They look forward to the day when they can don the name of Junior. Their studies consist of ancient and world history up to World War ll. These students are from Mr. Tom Mar- shall and Mr. James Lewis' Sophomore A history classes. During this semester they study driver' education. At the end of the course they take one of the tests which are given when you apply for a learners' permit. This is a very impor- tant part of their studies because it starts them off on the right road as courteous and careful drivers. Sophomore A's are happy to leave behind them the first day in John Burroughs when they felt small and bewildered by the many activities and quick moving hours spent in class. Mr. Tom Marshall and Mr. Max Crawford start these sophomores' high school career out right by teaching them the Alma Mater and encouraging them to attend all student body activities, athletic events, and dances. These Sophomore A's under Mr. Max Crawford's guidance have been busy during their first year at Burroughs taking tests to de- cide what their vocation will be and planning their ci Jlete high school program v-...n an eye to their vocational goal. College prep majors arrange their three year program so they will be prepared to enter the college of their choice upon graduation. Vocational maiors work out some type of program that will help them in their work after high school. -u-w-wear:-wuuuuuuuuvww-.--...,.1w..., -v At the nadir of their high school career are the Sophomore B's. They arrived at Burroughs in January and were quick to ad- iust to life on the reservation. Helping them with guidance work are Mr. Ed Williams and Mrs. Maxine Munch. This sem- ester has given them a good start on the path of loyal ln- dians and they are sure to continue their trip through J.- B. with the traditional Burroughs spirit. Mr. Ed Williams' Sophomore B class- es are shown here. During their Sophomore B semester these students pursue the study of world history, including the ancient Egyptian civili- zation, and geography. Underclass- men have played an active part in the student body this year and are bound to have a more definite place in student government with the or- ganization of classes and class offi- cers.

The exclusive country manor of Newton and Annabelle Fuller Uoe Schrard and Marilyn Woodsl turned out to be a ramshackle dump. Mr. Kimber fRalph Schoenmanj never did keep up with the price of manure and the amount of dirt and- gravel needed. Uncle Stanley Clrv Cohenl turned out to be a poor relation sponging on his relatives much to the disgust of the Fuller household. Added to this, the love affair between Madge and Mr. Leslie CMari- lyn Burns and Doug Steeplesl made it a play the Seniors will long remember. t b I WHERE IS MY WANDERING BOY TONIGHT.

Senior Memoirs Dear Father Time, ln our first two years at Burroughs we became well acquaint- ed with the excitement of football, basketball and baseball games and the friendly rivalry between Burbank and Bur- roughs in each off these sports. To arouse student spirit and promote greater but friendlier rivalry, there were numerous exchange assemblies between the Bulldogs and the Indians. After each of the basketball games there was a successful dance for the combined schools. Last fall we began our last year at Burroughs, when our acti- vities as an organized class really began. One of the Senior privileges we experienced first was buying our Senior rings. Senior sweaters, one of the most important items, were accompanied by much discussion, voting, and measuring before they finally became a reality. Sweaters were soon followed by pictures and officers. For l2A's the thrill of marching out of the assemblies was the greatest of all Senior memories. Then came the traditional Senior Play, from which we obtained money to buy our Senior gift. Something new in campus activities was interclass competi- tion. Everyone who participated had a wonderful time and of course the Seniors came out on top. Class parties are outstanding in our memories for their friend- ly atmosphere and fine spirit of class unity. But all was not pleasure. Many a Senior sweated long hours over his term paper, which had to be typewritten and turned in on time. But there were brighter things to follow, the Akela for one. Leading school dances as always was the Senior Prom, the most gala event of the year at which we were the honored guests. Next came Senior Week, with rehearsals of the long- awaited graduation. During this short period of time all the exclusive Senior affairs took place. At last the memorable day arrived on which we said our final farewells. This was not actually goodbye to Burroughs, for wherever we are we will always have fond memories of Burroughs life.

To be a member of the Honor Society one must have a B average or better, and three A's and a B a semester to apply tor membership in the C. S. F. These students have the hon- or of handling the student body elections and they take many all day field trips. l Shown above are the top academic students in Burroughs, the cream of the crop of the Honor Society. The California Scholarship Federation was started at Burroughs only last year. A member of this group has to obtain three A's each semester to keep himself in the club. This club, besides taking field trips and sponsoring school events, also awards a scholarship each year.

Science And Math As the school year nears its end, we look in on the scientists and mathematicians of the future. Burroughs presents a varied program to those who aspire to great scientific achievements. There are classes in math, alge- bra, and geometry as well as chemistry, biology, life science, and physics. Just ten mililiters of sodium chloride solution in the boiler, Carol. Thanks to bright stu- dents, Mr. Porker's watchful eyes, and good equipment the lab is a safe and an inter- esting spot on the campus. A small piece of onion is all you need in that test -tube. Under the direction of Miss Carolyn Barnes, the students in Life Science learn about diet, protein, and digestion. One grain from here and it will balance perfectly.

John Burroughs Varsity Cindermen turned in one of the finest varsity track seasons in Burroughs' history. Highlighting the year were record breaking performances turned in by Hugh Allen, national pole vault champ Ron Morris, and Bill Abbott. Allen burned up the track early in the season with a tremendous 21.1 furlong breaking Lanny Carter's old school record. Abbott broke the old 880 record while Morris punc- tured his own school high mark several times before the season was out. Burroughs' 880 relay team went to town set- ting new school marks early and late in the year. Members were Bill Howard, Keith Groneman, Hugh Allen, and Mel Holzman alternating with Lynn Fitzgerald.

A high point of the year for the squad was the arrival of new uniforms which made most of their ooposition look like refugees from the poor house, however, this was off- set by the disappointing lack of support giv- en the boys by the student body. ., QA , . v ,g 3 1, E I '-- i Q R 'K ll will m ills awww Junior Varsity Coach Bill Flora swats one for the Braves during one of the many prac- tice sessions during the year.

The picture on the right shows the girls rehearsing for a dance. After long hours of practice the finished product is ready for the Christmas assembly. Miss Betty Welker and some of her advanced dance students demon- strate one of their many exercises. May brought many happy memo- ries. One of the most enioyable was the dance performance. The theme was gems and the girls did their interpretation of what the stones meant to them. This was their main proiect for the semester. The girls in the picture below represent Miss Betty Welker's advanced dance class. Back row: Claudia Oden, Kathleen Ghezzi, Dolly Allegretti, Joan Ellers, Beverly Anderson, Corrinne Engman, Kathy Hentz, Adrianne Clark, Janice Devine, and Renee La Vine.

The Girls' Athletic Association was one of many activities this year. Not only does this organization turn out girls of excellent sports ability, but it also helps to make Burroughs a success as a whole. Candy, pop, and cake sales were one of their year round activities to help the G.A.A. financially. Every member will always re- member the good times she had at the many playdays, at some of which Burroughs act- ed as host. Branching from the G.A.A. is the Lettergirls' Club which is composed ot girls who have won their let- ters in after school sports. Tuning up with the old favorite Sweet Peggy O'Neil is the Senior Seven Plus Two and a Half. Their appear- ance was the highlight of the G.A.A.

'rs Playdays! .is a word that every girl of the G.A.A. loves to hear- Not only were the playdays a chance to test their sports ability, but a won- derful opportunity to meet new friends from different schools. The girls will always remember the fun they had as they rode home in the bus singing and chattering over the day's schedule. This year's playdays were held at Whittier High, Glendale Col- lege, Montebello High, and Cl AA,-nba L-link Giving the playdays that extra pep were this years G.A.A. Songleaders.
