llll6 llNlZ Tlll T H E E N D By LAWRENCE ADRs The end of the term again comes around, and the student organizations must change hands. As the organizations are turned over to succes- sors. the school can look back at this past year, see the work done, and judge whether or not it was successful. The clubs this year were of fine rating, but how minor one tCl'lT1,S work is in the life of a group. The organizations have been here for years, and will be here for many more. VV e have one pride, in that one club which we hope will stand through the years, was organ- ized. This was the Junior Civics Club, organized through the coordinated drive of two Senior Civics Club presidents. , The Boys' Deputies, through the steady work of their otiicers and sponsors, presented an abun- dance of entertainment for boys. Although the Board of Control itself does outstanding work each year, we like to think that this year the club can boast of an exceptional group of level headed members. OF A PERFECT YEAR Witli the knowledge that many more presi- dents will call meetings to order, and many more secretaries will read minutes, we would like to turn over the organizations of Summer ORGANIZATIONS AT JOHN BURROUGI-IS By NoRMA cor-nm One of the most important factors in our everyday school life at J. B. are the organiza- tions. John Burroughs, like a small city, has to offer many different types of clubs and organi- zations. VVhen a girl enters J. B. she automat- ically becomes a member of the Girls' League. The Girls' League was organized many years ago by a faculty committee. This committee elected a girl to serve as president and they also decided to have a Council and Cabinet. Two girls are elected from each social living class to serve on the Council. These girls go to every Council meeting. For the boy or girl who has a friendly nature, the doors of the Hospitality Club are open to them. The duties of the members of this club are to show the new pupils of I. B. around the school and to help them to get acquainted with some of the pupils. Each club is sponsored by a member of the faculty, who is present at all the meetings. I. B. offers a club for any type of boy or girl attending john Burroughs. fix fp X I .ff 1' f ' ' f 2' . .f Lf .1 ' f'l.-f'i,fg'T' R' W if 7-ff ,f' i W - fi ff!--9 Tjfiixll , 7 .f e,,fQ-'QAXT-7-11-cg-fxvf-Y I NL fl K F J .- MW .fe if - itkxsj X Y, x X

It has been a pleasure to be student body president here at john Burroughs and I have been proud to have that honor bestowed upon me. The Board of Control, working together with the faculty, has done its utmost to better the school. As president I have given my best to help the school and tried to follow the fine' high stan- dards of my predecessors. I only hope I proved myself worthy of your trust. Though many of us are going to ,different high schools we will never forget the friends we have made. Our lives have been changed during these past three years and been developed to meet the gaps in later life. ' So it is that we say good-bye to John Bur- roughs with its fine student body and faculty. Good-bye in mind, but not in heart, for the memories will live with us forever.

That certain thing which be- comes a part of you and only you yourself can feel. Being able to help the Girls' League is a grand experience for anyone. This term the organiza- tion has done a grand piece of work. I hope it will continue. Until 1' see you again, NIARILYN MURRAY, Girls' League President. MY FINAL FAREWELL Mr. Thompson was right when he said that the B7's were the luckiest people in the school, because they had three years to spend here. Those three years have been among the most pleasant of my life. Working with Mr. Jarvis the past term has been one of the finest experiences that I have had. He has always been willing and eager to help me. The many and eventful happenings that I have enjoyed here at I, B. will longllinger in my many memories.
