47 in '42, '43 and Page Twelve El SS HISTUHY ln the autumn of 1941, the United States was forced into war by lapan. ln the autumn of 1941, the Worst storm ever to hit Florida devastated over 3,000,000 dollars in property values. ln the fall of 1941, President Franklin D. Roose- velt was ending nine years in of- fice four history teachers insist that there was another President but We are still unconvincedl. Also in the fall of 1941, the class of 1947 entered lohn Burroughs School. This was a memorable year for the United States, President Roose- velt, and Iohn Burroughs School. Not realizing the importance of such world affairs, we elected as our Chairmen, Lewis B. Stuart and Nancy Paddock, who still are part of the class. lt took the school some time to realize our capacities, but by Christmas six angelic faces were discovered among us: so Ioann Collins, Ioanne Draughon, George Fiske, lack Wiese, Ed McCulloch and George Rendleman appeared in the 1941 Christmas Pageant. Then to make things more impres- sive, in the spring elections our class elevated Dodie Conant to the Student Council. While the laps stormed Manila, we stormed our advisors, Coach Staten and Miss Damon, with questions indicative of our ever- growing interest in Student Gov- ernment. The revision of the Con- stitution Was greatly helped Cor hindered?l by some of our more interested classmates. Like previous classes we were delighted by the antics of Coach Staten's memorable Ole Olsen. As the second year of the war began, we began our second year at Iohn Burroughs. Minus Pat Bixby, we noticed the addition of Mary Roddewig, Nancy Dreyer, Ralph G i l de h a u s, Courtney Shands, Bill McCagg, and Francis Gross. This was the first year we elec- ted class officers democratically.

CLASS HISTUHY They were all boys: George Hagee, President, George Fiske, Vice President, and lack Wiese, Secretary. The war called Mr. Sprague, our first advisor, to the Navyp so Mr, Montgomery took over the boys and Miss Krueger guided the girls. We remember the work detail Mr. Montgomery assigned us to. It consisted of sweeping the halls during the advisory period. That Christmas lean Dazey was picked as one of the figures in the Tableaux. The class gave a grand party, a Box Supper. Later, the more venturesome boys started dating, particularly after they discovered Mary I. The girls couldn't be out- done, so they discovered that there was another school besides Bur- roughs, Country Day. Enviously we awaited the following year when we could attend the Leap Year Dance, but the boys were dismayed when they were in- formed they would have to wear ties. ln the fall of 1943, we entered the ninth grade. Remember-that was the year when our troops be- gan to storm Hitler's doorstep, Italy. The Allies broke the dead- lock at Salerno in September and began the great Italian campaign which eventually pushed the Nazis out of Italy. Oh, yes, and Laney CAI Iolsen or Bing Crosby? Lee came into Burroughs for the first time. Well, so did Hap Salisbury, lim Bob Kearney, Bob Maune, Phil Smith, Ferg Fowler, Ruth Magee, Ioan Dorsett, Carolyn The- lander, Scott Skinner, Fleur Barn- grove, Irv Buxell, Iim Deakin, and Barbara Bishop. We lost Ioan Bassieur, Carol Godwin, Courtney Shands, Cliff Kurris, Tim Corneli, Martha Rusk, Bill MaCagg, and Neal Wood. With interest we noted that we were a year above the eighth tCantinued on page 411 Q 1 ,.,. ,. . Page Thirteen Class of '47 in '45, '45 and
