HISTORY, ANYTHING BUT The class of l95l is now ready to bow out to the class of '52, We can hardly realize that we have been at Burroughs for six full years. It seems as if it were only yesterday that we were in the seventh grade. wondering whether or not we would ever attain the high and mighty position of seniors. Now here we are on top of the ladder. During our six years at Burroughs we have accom- plished many things. VVe in- troduced girl cheerleaders, we supported the teams from be- hind the ropes, and we whole- heartedly donated our talent. energy, and spirit to the school. Looking back over those six years, we find that there have been some very important hapf penings in each one. Nineteen Hundred Forty-five was a year of great historical importance, The atomic bomb was first used, the shooting war was stopped. and we. the class of 1951, entered Burroughs. When we first came, we were a wee bit confused, but under the guidance of our big brothers and sisters. and of our advisers, Miss Evelyn Damon and Coach George Staten, we somehow managed to straighten ourselves out. ln the fall of that year an i'Old Clothes Dayw was held. Vw'ill we ever forget the crazy races and contests that were held then? Digging for pennies in a bucket of flour is likely to make anyone a lillle dusty, but Bob Glass went at it with such enthusiasm that when he was through. he was absolutely EOL'- erecl with flourf Such frivolity was soon forf gotten, though. as we started our preparations for the Christa mas Pageant.
