BOARD OF CONTROL The most important society of the school, is the Board of Control who mightily rule. 28 The students find them helpful and wise, truly a feat to a school of great size. FAREWELL, JOI-lN BLJRROLJGHS Strange and enlightening indeed have been the past four years to the world, Strange because with them came as chaotic a period as we have ever had to endure, enlight- ening because they have shown us that the barest neces- sities of life may be the pleasantest, l-lere at John Burroughs we have all felt the effects of this Depression, some of us more than others. l-lard as it has been, we are the better for it, as a school and as indi- viduals. lt has thrown us together and made us more friendly toward one another. The effects of these friend- ships will be felt long after these days have passed. l hope it will make each of us more charitable to our fellow men, and, as the clouds lift, that John Burroughs will expand and continue its fine record on a larger scale than ever before. To the graduating class l wish to extend my profound desire that you will profit by your days here, and will never forget the great lesson taught by this Depression. To the Student Body l also wish success always, both here and in the future, and I most sincerely offer my thanks for the splendid cooperation shown throughout the entire term. ANTHONY DE SANTlS, Student Body President. FAREWELL MESSAGE When I begin my years at high school l will feel that my A9 term has helped and prepared me more than any other. The responsibility which you have given me has 'been my greatest pleasure. With the companionship of the two fine officers, Sara Belle Goodwin, secretary, and Nancy l-larris, vice-president, l have planned the meetings for the Girls' Council and the Girls' League. The Girls' Council has done fine work this year, and you should be proud of them, The generous help which the faculty and my adviser, lvlrs. Shinn, has given me, has made me realize for the first time how much of our success we owe to them. I hope l have fulfilled your faith in me, as much as I have enjoyed your friendships. My only message is: Carry onl JANE BURGUNDER, President of Girls' League.
