IOHN BURROUGHS PRINCIPALS MR. THOMPSON Down the years through peace and war, Three generations have passed through this door, Seeking knowledge these students came, Then spread their learning on the road of fame. Always friendly and full of fun, A man of his type is never outdone: His office is always a cheerful place, Parents and pupils are received with grace. J Miss. BALLER Who is it that helps us around the school? Who makes us live up to the Golden Rule? She takes good care oi all the girls, Her smiling face framed in curls. To help you solve our little quiz, l'll tell you who she really is- Teresa A. is the start, And Baller is the last part. -Sally Walsh ENGBERG When that whistle sharply blows, Surely everybody knows, That Mr. Engberg is coming his way. He makes the boys obey with ease, With all he knows and all he sees, But he's always a friend to one in need

IOHN BURROUGHS By MARILYN MOHR Iohn Burroughs! Think that name over. It means a lot of things to a lot of different people. To a B7 on the first day of school it is a building, strange and cold, bringing forth excitement as well as the desire to be part of the overwhelming vastness that surrounds Iohn Burroughs. To students of older grades it not only is an institution of education, but a refuge where they can find companionishp, and further their ambitions. For them there is also the desire to be part of a government run by a student body. Finally, the A9's feel at last that they are the government of a school well worth bringing to new heights, and therefore, with three years of knowledge behind them, they can leave I. B., heads held high, with a determination to succeed, to make way for new students who are all to be a part of I. B. Yes, this is lohn Burroughs, the Iohn Burroughs that, in years to come, men and women who, having fulfilled their goal, may look back proudly to a school of which they were a part.

All the subjects that they are having now will turn out to be essential later on. Personal appearance, courtesy, and good English are very important factors. The place where they can best be obtained is in lohn Burroughs. When they are able to secure a job in future years, the name of this school will prove very beneficial. Only when this war is won will it be possible for the succeeding generations in other countries to have the privilege of at- tending as fine schools as we in the U. S. lt is up to us to back the armed forces and organizations such as the U. S. O., Bed Cross, Community Chest, etc., and see that this war is won so that we will be able to journey up the path to higher education.
