Martha Jane Topping and Principal Vernon Weybright are shown here performing one or their many duties. 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.

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.
