I O'LJR PR INC l PALS By so' successfully planning and work- ing 'together since the founding of John Burroughs, our smiling principals have amys proven themselves infallible in every emergency, have lead us through all dilfficulties, and have always clearly shown-the' so-lution to each arising problem. , . Through their-efforts to make this a more pleasant institution and still maintain thelhigh scholastic 'standard that has made John Burroughs a school of distinction, Mr. Thompson, flvlrs., 'Broaded and Mr. Nourse have, by their splendid cooperation and harmony, become a shining example to all who are governed by them. No matter how great the problem, nor how trivial the case, they have exerted all their energies to the one matter alone, facing separately each arising difficulty, solving it, and then have met the.next with .renewed vigor.. To their efforts this year we owe the success of this term, for, both the A9 Class andthe Student .Body as a whole know and appreciate the value of their counsel and advice in .time of need. ' I . , lt is to the principals of.John'Burroughs, to the unisonof the three that the Grad- uating-Class .wishes to express its profound thanks for the help they have given us in our .three years here, for we know through our contacts with them that they truly reflect theaspirit of John Burroughs.

BURR ART CLASS WT: T - .ml Perhaps as you turn the pages ot this Burr you I .:.,. 5:.:g:m---3, will realize that upon the Burr Art Class depends U,m,.,,,.,.j17f:f:'i:L? 'f ' much of the success of this annual. Under the 5' able direction of Mrs. Hughes our Burr Art Class E has successfully met the task of illustrating our W-E:-I 6331, Burr. For any book to be successful it is necessary wcmsgl F ', that it be well planned, written, and particularly :af -- well illustrated This year the Art Class decided ' ' - J upon a theme, Chinatown, one that provides much , y ' opportunity for imaginative pictures and sketches. ,., I I h Taking photographs, and getting ideas for finished 4 :g:5,i4.,i.f4:f'Wp, I' drawings, the.Art Class spent one Saturday visiting n 5 1- v H , -1-ian! ! , - Chinatown., ': 'V Ixl' The cover of this Burr is the product of Leo num? . 1 ' ,gf 'ii fl: ' f l Q 2- Martin's labors. as is the title page. Phyllis Wachs aihlmxlil 31' lg I 'Qf-7 ' designed the small title page and also the Market nu. a 'V 'ffl' - l,lQ E1 'rt f f ' on Marchessault Street. Shirley Entriken's double 5 'L , V Vi' page of figure studies shows very clearly her skill, ji!

William Smith with his Apablasa Street Balcony and Grant Swanland's Chinese Shrine are some other fine pieces of art, as are also Grant's Pagoda, Betty Black's Elephant, and Virginia Snure's End Piece and Figure Group. Other excellent additions to our Burr are Lita Mae Brooks' Buddha gand Harriet Edelstein's Balcony, not forgetting 'the Majong Blocks of Norma Siegel, the Comic of Jack Poplin, and the Headings by William Smith and Helen Wilmans. Thus has our Burr Art Class accomplished its work this term, suc-A cessiully, and our gratitude is theirs. , J BURR PRINTERS By BERT BRISKIN , . ' Believe it or not, to use the famous-Words of Ripley, we are the only junior high in the city to print our own Anhual. . . All the credit should be given to Mr.,TayIor for this accomplishment, He has a very enviable record on the llocal papets. When he was put on the Examiner's pay roll he was given the position of ad man. He worked diligently at his iob and was soon promoted to a higher office. He-kept, going up the ladder until he attained the position of superintendent. He held other offices on the old Morning Herald, the Record, andthe Evening Herald-, and founded the Superior Typesetting Company. He started teaching printing in schools in l92O at Los Angeles High School. From there he went to Berendo and then to Lafayette. He came to John Burroughs in i924 and has been teaching printing here these last ten years. 1 Q The experience and training Mr. Taylor has acquired has aided him in teaching the boys that co-operation counts most. Without co-operation, he said when interviewed, the Burr would never go out on time. There are many things to do. First, the forms must be made up. Then the printing, whichtakes considerable time. iThe A9 panoramais printed downtown.i After the pages are all printed they are folded and gathered and bound. You can see how long all this takes. We must be working every minute. Mr. Taylor is well pleased with his group of Burr printers. They are: Kyal Smeeby, Robert Wagner, Leonard Schulman, Bert Briskin, Morton Brown, Gerald Cohen, Bud Head, John Hoffman, Fred Kelly, Winton Reynolds, Tom Walker, Waine Shibe, Byron Young, Rolland Stoner, Bill Spiergin, Julian Neveleff, Courtland Hall, Carl Lindstrom, and Sherwin Goldberg. In addition to the above named boys, about one hundred and fifty boys in the six classes of Printing had more or less to do with the production of the Burr.
