MR. VVALTER L. NQURSE By RUTH SCHERFEE A friend to all is the name Mr. Nourse has earned here at school because of his ability to understand and help boys and girls. But out- side of school his interests and recreations in- clude many other things such as gardening, amateur radio work and writing or editing an occasional book. Mr. Nourse is very literary minded and has written one or two books. Being held in high esteem along both literary and educational lines, he received a place on the Board of Editors of the Educational Scene, a magazine designed to advance modern ideas in teaching. Not only does he take an active part in the literary and educational worlds, but is helping future Los Angeles civic life in his sponsorship of Civicism Unlimited which, he hopes, will pro- duce better citizens and civic leaders. Mr. Nourse's 1'eal hobby is building short wave radio transmitters and receivers in a little room above his garage at home. 'XV ith these ma- terials he operates an amateur radio station, the number being VV 61-ILL. It is rumored that he sends out S. O. S. calls when weeds get ahead of him in his garden. From this hobby has Miss MARGARET SMITH By LETA GALENTINE A pleasing personality, a pleasant smile, genu- sprung his leadership of the Radio Club here at school. VV e are truly fortunate to have a man of such varied interests as vice-principal at john Bur- roughs. ine friendliness, poise and a charm all her own, these are a few of the many line character traits of Miss Margaret Smith, our girls' v1ce-princi- pal. Since a young woman, Miss Smith has always been interested in girls' activities. Being very popular in high school and college and taking an active part in everything, Miss Smith under- stands girls and their problems. Graduating from the Chicago Normal College she went to I-libbing, Minnesota where she taught a few years. After obtaining her bacheloi-'s degree at California she went to U. S. C., where she received her master's degree. Miss Smith was then a counsellor at Franklin and finally came to our own school, john Bur- roughs, as vice-principal. Her main hobby is collecting antiques, but she also has many other interests. She also enjoys golf, tennis and ice skating, but she rarely has time for these sports. Miss Smith is liked by all the students and a charming woman as our girls' vice-principal. John Burroughs can well be proud to have such

been able to work with you all and because of all the line friends I have made here. Though many of you are going to different high schools and colleges I know I shall never forget the friends I have made and the good they have done me. I now want to express my sincere gratitude to BOARD OF CONTROL Many of the students of john Burroughs do not realize the importance, or the power of the Board of Control in our school life. The Board of Control has more power in our school than any other class, grade or organization. No student body money can be spent without the consent of the Board. Each class has two Representatives, a boy and a girl whose job it is to bring news, to their grade of the happenings of the Board. All major organizations in the school have representatives. included in that number are the Boys' Council, Girls' League, Senior Safety Board, Civics and Hospitality Clubs on the Board. Under the able leadership of our sponsors Miss Howell, Mrs. Beaumont, and Mr. Welola, this VV inter '37 Board of Control has tried to serve you as faithfully as possible and we hope you will all give as good cooperation and as much help to the following Boards as you have given this one. It is with sorrow and happiness that I close this fare- well inessage. Sorrow because I am leaving such a ine school, and such a cooperative student body. Gladness because I have been able to attend such a line school and an excellent faculty for having made my three years at John Burroughs as pleasant as possible. To a fine school and a great student body, I say, good-bye. MARSHALL PAXTON.
