B. Gur stay here has been packed with happiness, and the friends we have made here, we will know all through our lives. As A9's, we have tried to give J. B. something to remember us by in leadership, scholarship, and as good citizens. During our 'three years at J. B., our teachers, principals, and those connected with the school have been truly helpful as well as being fine friends. We are especially grate- ful for the fine organization of the athletic de- partment, such as noon leagues, the Gym Club, and after-school teams, and our student govern- ment with its various organizations and clubs. These are all things which have contributed to the happiness of our stay here. In leaving, ,perhaps it is better not to say Good-bye, but, Until we meet again. Thank you for a most enj.oyable stay, JIM NEVILLE, President of the A9 C lass. GUYS AND GALS IN THE A9 CLASS N time I s the Specialty Marilyn Manatt .......... sweetest .... .......

T llFF Ili A U R E V O I R By MARION HENRY As we near the final weeks of our three years at john Burroughs we feel strangely mixed emo- tions of oy and sorrow. Sorrow at leaving and yet keen anticipation of the new school life which will begin for us next September. During our stay at B. we have made many friendships which we greatly value. VV e hope that this A9 section of the Burr will be a permanent record of our class, serving in future years to aid the members to live again in memory their happy years at B. We shall always treasure the memories of our years at john Burroughs and hope as a class we have left something' behind to enrich and inspire those following us. i , Now AS OURJSTAY HERE ENDS By cHARLEs WILLNER Vife, the A9's of Summer- '38, are about to leave john Burroughs, and as our Burr goes to press, we reminisce over the past three years. Yes, they have truly been successful. This is a joyous occasion for we are going on to bigger and finer things. However, it will be extremely difficult to forget the faithful guidance of our teachers and the wise counsel of our principals. In the following pages is the inside informa- tion, a complete word picture telling all about us! There are humorous things about the class, some of our accomplisments, and pictures of us. In years to come, we will look back in our Burr and remember all of those things and see many familiar faces. A - But enough of that. Look ahead, fellows, and see for yourselves. ' ' OUR THANKS . .. To Mr. Jarvis, the boys' vice-principal and the sponsor of the A9 Class of Summer '38, for all of his line work in sponsoring our class. 'We - are deeply indebted to him, for it has been due . to his untiring efforts that we have been able to make our class a success. All those who have worked with Mr. Jarvis have found him to be among the Hnest of the fine. Witli all of our memories of J. B., we shall connect him. So once more, thank you, Mr. Iarvis.

A9 CLASS WILL VVe, the A9 Class, believing ourselves to be sane of mind and sound of body fat least we hope soj, do hereby decree this to be our last will and testament, bequeathing the majority of our worldly goods to the understated. Marilyn Manatt and Bob Brown, the best looking couple in the A9, hand this honor over to Jessie Parrish and Dick Bear. The A9 All-Stars Cthat bunch of brawny he menj leave to the B9 team top honors. Other bequests on the team are pitching ability to Der- rick Dunn from Charles QChuckJ Richartz, and fielding to Phil Dorner from Marty Herbst. Barbara Davis bequeaths her sparkling per- sonality to Jeanne Champion. Ann Van Dyke bestows her loud guffaw on Bob Bailey. Hee haw. The Cartooning ability of VVillard Conley is left to Rosalind Murray. Bill Spragins endows Sharon Moody with his enormous popularity. LCOIl211'Cl B. Monheimer, that sparkling A9 who is always ready to get up and go, leaves his fine ability to do nothing to Jack XlV211'1'C11. Elizabeth Hartley pauses gracefully after hn- ishing a hgure eight to bequeath her ice skates to Georgia Shattuck, who can be seen on the other side of the ice doing a Charlotte Stop. Jim Flemming leaves his excelling sportsman- ship to any B9 worthy of it. To any B9 good enough to take it, Jim Neville bequeaths the stage of the A9 homeroom. I Dick Hambleton leaves to a certain B9 the executiveness and ability to fill a job as well as he has. Shirley Goedike bestows his cultured paint brush upon Dorothy Faires. It's too bad, or is it, that there is no one to step into the shoes of that illustrious trio known as Kautz, McClair and Simon. We wonder. Speaking of shoes, Bob McFall gladly leaves his shoes to any B9 able to get in them without using a life preservcr. The super-magnificent athletic skill of the Gibney sisters, Jackie and Speedy, is left to Mary CButchj Fandel and Jean Caprine. First lesson is on how to swing a baseball bat without killing the catcher. To the entire B9 class and the rest of John Burroughs are left the wonderful memories of Signed and sealed this twenty-Fifth day of March, not to be opened until June sixteenth, nineteen hundred and thirty-eight.
