M 'Lim omr-of Qsgy of 1 ood Eleven T welce JAMES GOOD CONZELMAN Since Jim came here in the seventh grade, he has participated in almost every facet of student life. For the past three years Conz has been on the Court, and this year he was the Chief Jus- tice. Jim is a receptive listener and his quiet manner has helped to solve many class prob- lems as Well as settle court cases. I-Iym has proved again and again that actions speak louder than Words. In football Jim never was a Hyell boy but just when the team spirit Was ebbing, Jim came through with a bone crushing tackle or a pass interception. I-Ie also was all-ABC shortstop on the championship baseball team last year. We are sure that IrIym's leadership qualities and ability to make friends will make him a Wel- come addition to Yale next year. ACTIVITIES TENTH GRADE: Bailiff of Student Court, Glvc Club, Typing.

She is also one of the few sen- ior girls Who never seems to be Without a date. Although Al makes very good grades, she also has other talents, ranging from playing left fullback on the B hockey team to being one of the indispensible second altos in Mr. Wein- rich's glee club.

Nancy's six years at Burroughs have been high- lighted by a long record of varsity teams and athletic awards-not won by her efforts onlyf -and she topped off her last year as a cheer- leader. But don't think Bake is all work and no play: Camp O-Tahn-Agon, Michigan, and St Pete. took up many vacations. Known for her long serious talks, and her worrying about her bright porch light, Nancy will keep, through college and afterward, her best-known trait of having a good time wherever she goes.

Although one of the newest additions to our class, she has been chairman of the advisory and active member of the Stu- dent Council. Phant is one of the few girls who can look cute in a striped T-shirt and khaki pants or lederhosen Cwhich she brought back from Austriaj.

WILLIAM ALEXANDER BORDERS Coming to us from Wydown in the lOth grade, A'Bobo was quick to get used to Bur- roughs although Burroughs was quicker in get- ting used to him. Billy is far from being a troublemaker, although there have been rumors concerning something about some handwriting on the wall for was it the concrete?j lt ap- pears that he is quite friendly with the faculty, because he has often been seen in the company of Mr. Horner. Certainly one of the more jovial boys in the senior class, Bill is actually very serious minded. His grades are good and he works hard to keep them high. I-Ie has spent a good deal of time in Dramatics, and was awarded the lead in i'Sing Out Sweet Land as well as in the sophomore play of l954. His participation on the Year- book staff this year has indeed been valuable.

With her enthusiasm and bouncing per- sonality, she has added much to anything she has encountered. Using her ability and imagina- tion, she did a great deal as an editor to make this Yearbook a success. Unchained by conven- tion, she shunned the usual locker-leaning and carried on open period Apache war dances. Doing this, Nan could be seen wear- ing a good looking sweater with a silver trophy CBill does play basketballj, and a new short hair cut Culterior motivesj and going into fits of uncontrollable laughter.

The ability to feed eight or nine hungry seniors at any time, has made his plantation at Arrowhead Acres a favorite meeting spot for the Class of '56. Bark also- excels athletically. He holds down the left end position of the A football team, forward on the basketball team, and is a catcher on the baseball team. Bark wants to become a sports writer, and with this in mind he wishes to go to Amherst neXt fall. ACTIVITIES TENTH GRADE: B Football, B Basketball, B Baseball, XVnrld. Shop.

Under the illusion that living close to school is just like being there, Janie always arrives at advisory by the skin of her teeth. Jane is the smallest girl in the class, but due to her BRIGHT clothes, and her menagerie of bracelets, everyone is al- ways aware of her. Outside school she partici- pates in many activities ranging from a deeply concentrated bridge game to numerous dates. Janie is very popular, especially with the tall CID members of the opposite sex. Her excellent conception of people, and wonderful sense of humor, will definitely bring her success wher- ever she goes. ACTIVITIES TENTH GRADE: Typing.

This year a new UQ grey UD l95O Stude- baker with one rear antenna appeared on the parking lot. This Shotrod has the peculiar habit of stalling almost any time, giving its riders a bad time. Besides being a charter member of the Hlock- er leaners, Bill excels in football, basketball, and baseball.

His grades are among the best in the class, he plays cello for the school orchestra, and he is one of the best athletes in the class. Bruno, the muscle man of the Senior class, has earned himself quite a reputation as a ladies man, especially at Mary Institute. During the past year John has been re- modeling a I933 truck, painting it a bright yel- low and doing a lot of mo-tor work. It doesn't go over 40 but it is definitely one of the show pieces on the parking lot. We all wish John the best of luck at Miami or Duke next fall.

Perfect Figure, spontaneous laugh, extensive and expensive wardrobe, innumerable dates, choco- late diets, wit in Merely Idle Chatter, senior year athletic ability, perfect pitch, tales of camp. muscles, nose, and dislike of smoke.

Mike is also known for his continued patron- age to 'ACahok, where he has made a small for- tune, Mike's ambition is to follow in the foot- steps of his uncle, who spends his time in New England and Florida. lf Budda's recent trip to Florida is any indication of his ability to follow in his uncle's business, we know that he will be a success. Burroughs will miss Mike next year at school and on the athletic field. The college that Mike goes to will gain from Burrough's loss. ACTIVITIES TENTH GRADE: Industrial Arts, XVorld, Cf Football.

How well we remember our first days at Burroughs six years ago. We came in all shapes and sizes, but were known for be- ing the tallest seventh grade class that people had ever seen. Miss Damon and Coach Wolfe had the enjoyable Nl task of helping us brave the first bewildering year at J.B.S, This year we had our first hayride-girls found that dancing in blue jeans was not as bad as they had ex- pected. Also that fall, we were introduced to class parties with Pop Payne-our shyness was soon forgotten as we became engrossed in such unique games as spud, and girls-put-your-shoe in-the-middle-and-boys-choose-one. Soon our dancing ability was discovered, and we were awarded ten free lessons at Arthur Murrays lWho ever went?J Christmas was here before lContinued on Page 1299 , ,. .7 ,.. l FIRST ROW: S.

We especially excelled in Student Government, having numerous representatives on both Court and Council. For the first time in years, We volunteered something to say in Student As- semblies, and helped raise student interest in revising the Constitution and improving study halls, The class proved its ability to work to- gether With the construction of the Junior Prom, which was very well done, but which took a lot of time and effort on the part of all the Juniors, especially during the last Week of dec- orating. Although we vveren't allowed to hold paper drives, We accumulated all of the neces- sary funds and more, in order that the Junior girls could continue to support their foster child. Besides these things, both the boys and girls took very active parts in sports, Dramatics, Glee Club, Painting and Sculpture, 4. ' Q.. gd.-4 , , -me ,,,,.,., f, N ..

The tenth grade play, Charley's Aunt , was a large success with lots of fine talent brought to the surface by the ex- cellent coaching of Mr. Arnold. ln the athletic field, the boys have represented the class on al- most every team, and many girls have played on varsities. Our class was constantly striving for better grades and good results on our first exams. And with many of us reaching driving age, We found ourselves with more responsibility and inde- pendence. Our sophomore year, highlighted by several outstanding class parties and hard work in both courses and activities, will long be remembered.

We were also Well represented in student gov- ernment, With Gaylor Harford and Roger Gold- man sitting in on Council meetings. The girls were kept busy all year competing with the Eighth grade girls, and in raising funds to sup- port their foster' child. An Ice Cream Party was held for this purpose in honor of our par- ents, Who had, however, to pay for the tribute. We supported all of the school teams at their games, and still managed to get in some study- ing, which helped us maintain our grades. Next year, We enter the Senior School with confidence that we will make our Sophomore year as memorable a year as this one has been. V'I'W'N5 , ' I MINERALS gy lflRST ROW: Relmholz, Mueller.

The eighth grade has been very busy with various activities this year. Quite a large profit was made by a fair put on by the girls, with the help of the boys, for their foster child. One of the attractions was an eight week old puppy which was a prize for Brad Stocker. The bake sales were also successful in helping support the child. The army and navy teams look very good in action and it appears that there will be some good material for next year's C team. The girls played their games well, showing some good skills too. Just as much as we like to take part in sports, we like to attend them.

Most of those who had brothers or sisters who were in Burroughs al- ready, were thrilled at the prospect of becom- ing a John Burroughs student and citizen. But others were not quite sure of themselves. They did not realize what a wonderful year was in store for them! In the past nine months, the Ugreen horns have made friends with their fellow class-mates and with older students too. Many of them have taken an active part in student affairs, such as white elephant and bake sales, student council, and assembly committees, Each advisory has a president, vice-president, secretary, and Treas- urer. Both boys and girls enjoy sports at J.B. as much as the varsity teams do. fi 1 I Az ' Pit Burroughs, sports are a part of regular school activities and happenings. Students participate in almost all sports until the ninth grade, Where they choose the sports they wish to participate in dur- ing the school year.

The A football team, coached by Tom McConnell and Howard Yerges, had a very successful season as it Won its first ABC league championship since l95l, and ended the season with a 6-l-l record. Ladue: I9-7 The Bombers stopped the Ladue string at eleven games. The game was highlighted by the passing of Bill Idol, the receiving of Bob Cullen- bine, and the running of Bill Corrington, and John Cotsworth, who averaged 9.3 yards per carry. Scoring: Cullenbine, 6: Corrington, 6: Cotsworth, 7. Clayton: 20-20 This was not one of the Bomber's better games, as Clayton's backs, Wooley and Roiers, literally ran around the .IBS defense.

Pembroke: 21-19 The Pembroke game was one of the hardest and most exciting of the season. Pem Day's great fullback Pfieffer threatened to break away time and again. This was Cotsworth's greatest game, as he gained 256 yards and scored every point. Scoring: Cotsworth, 21. Pattonville: 42-12 This was the easiest game of the season. The team kept to the ground most of the game, but still scored on a pass from Idol to Engle which covered 62 yards. Scoring: Cotsworth, 23: Idol, 12: Engle, 6: Moran, 1. ff fl ? Country Day: 32-7 WE RACKED THE DAISIESI This game was the first victory over Codasco since 1951, and also the first championship since that year.

Even though they had a 3-3 record all felt that they should have done better. Even coaches Broeg and Eiseman were disappointed. In the first game with Western, at home, the team showed excellent form and won an easy victory of 13-0. Hopes were high: however a week later at Country Day, the Daisies eked out a O-7 win. Despite this loss to Country Day, the B squads morale was not deadened, and in their next game they won another decisive victory, over Principia, '52-14. Going into the second half of the season the Bulldogs were a much improved team: they again trounced Western. This time at Alton, 6-O. Sadly, the next two games showed the B teamers that they weren't the only ones who had improved. They were completely overrun by Country Day at home. This score was O-34. In the final game Prin scored a 7-27 victory, thus closing a semi-successful season for the B team. FIRST ROW: Mr. Vibert, Biggs, Wunderlich, Dube, Giessow, Green, Bean, Black, Gilbert, Croft.

After three weeks of hard training it played its first game against Western. With Bobby Bean making three touchdowns and Jon Mars two, the powerful Burroughs team trounced Western 31-O. Special mention should be made of Jud- dy Calkin's running and the fine defensive play of Joe Ruwitch and Jim Joslyn. The next week the C team met Country Day, which had not been beaten for the last twenty-five games. Jittery but hopeful, the team beat Co-dasco I4-O, with touchdowns by Bob Bean and Jud Calkins. After an open date, the strong Burroughs squad met Principia, downing them 25-6, with the very fine running of Jon Mars, who scored two touchdowns, and Bob Bean and Mike Black, who each scored one, The following week the team travelled to Alton to defeat the Western Cadets 25-6. H aaiffail Leland Field was the site of the next game, the biggest of the season, at which many Bur- roughs fans saw the C team smother their arch rivals, Codasco, 27-6, and take their first championship in six years. In the final game of the season all of the Bur- roughs bench got into the game and showed great spirit and fight as the team trounced Prin at Taylor Field, 26-O, The season was highlighted by the fine line play of Terry Croft, Ronny Dube, Billy Biggs, and Joe Ruwitch. The team built up an ex- cellent record by holding their opponents score to a total of eighteen points, while they scored one-hundred forty-eight. Although this championship season was very successful for the C team, it certainly couldn't have been accomplished without the fine coach- ing of Mr. Bill Vibert, Scott Pollack, and Jim Burst. ups. vw, v- if 1 .. u ff IIRST ROW: K.

The team started out with a decisive victory over Taylor, 5-1, and followed with a 6-3 vic- tory over usually strong Mercy. They then played to a O-O tie with Ladue for the only deadlock of the season as Well as the only game in which Burroughs failed to score. After Christmas vacation. the Bombers lost Fifty-six I I Western conquered the Bombers, 2-l in their second league encounter, but Burroughs stayed in the running with their second victory over Prin, 5-l. In this game, five different players scored the goals, as Dave Moran, Corrington, Bill Stamper, Phil Meyer, and Jim Baird all hit pay dirt. Jon Schneeberger's goal provided the margin in a 1-0 victory over Ladue, but Burroughs then lost to Country Day, 2-l. Moran's goal kept the Bombers from being shut out. Burroughs then scored three successive victories to climax the season. Western fell, 4-3 on goals by Cor- rington, Dave Hardy, and a pair by Roger Levy. St. Johns fell l-O, and in the final game of the year, Burroughs avenged the earlier Codasco de- feat by shutting out the Rams, 2-0, on goals by Meyer and Corrington.

The Bulldogs won five and lost only three, one of which was a league game. J.B.S. got off to a bad start by losing a close one to Ladue on our home field. Then the Bulldogs got rolling by winning four games in a row. The first of the string was an easy 4 to l victory over Prin on our home field. They then beat Mercy on their own field by a score of 2-O. Still pushing hard the Blue and Gold team found it a tough game with Mercy, but managed another win by one goal, 2-1, The hard fighting Bulldogs then rolled over Prin with 5 goals to the opponents one. The B team then suffered a second humiliating defeat at the hands of Ladue. This was followed closely by their first league defeat by Codasco-. The Bulldogs were then one game behind in the league standings and knew that everything counted on the final game of the season against C.D.S. Putting forth everything they had, the Burroughs team shut out the Country Day team 2-O to clinch a tie for the league championship.

The final score, 54-48. The second league game of the year saw the A team leave Principia behind in the fourth quar- ter 46-43. Burroughs then lost the next three games! The first to YVestern 55-71. Pembroke traveled to Burroughs from Kansas City for the game, which the Bombers lost 56-68. In the next game, although Barkley Calkins hit 21 points, which was the high tally for the year, the once- beaten Codasco Rams took the match 62-64. In the following contest the Burroughs HA' 1 team beat Coyle in an overtime period 63-56. The team Won another league game from Prin- cipia 46-40. Then the Bombers lost again to Western 43-59.

Don Hobbs was the only returning letterman from last year's champions. The Hirthmen started off the season with a 43-38 victory over Ladue, but dropped the next two games to Brentwood and Clayton re- spectively. The loss to Brentwood was by one point, and against Clayton the 43-37 represent- ed an overtime defeat. The UB team won the first league game it played which was with Principia, 36-33. The Hirthmen just couldn't get started against Ladue the second time. They dropped this game 45-29, Playing at Alton, the Bulldogs lost to the Cadets 40-33. ln the most satisfying game of the year the B team defeated Country Day 38-30. The Bulldogs won their second in a row by downing Coyle 38-29, but lost a close one to Principia 3l-30 in their second encounter with that team. The Hirthmen then beat Western 33-25: thus they had beaten every team in the league. In the worst game of the year, the Bulldogs lost to Chaminade 46-28. In the next game CDS won the championship by downing the Hirth- men 32-29. The season closed on a happy note as Bill Hassett won the game against Lutheran with six seconds to go, 40-38.

Alas, that lucky cage team was CDS-our arch rivals. Vwfhile we did trade games with four other teams, those two disastrous losses to Country Day dropped us to a mark lower than 500. We scraped all the way, and if a squad beat us, it was close, as the average difference in the scores was about three points. We started off the season with the highest of hopes, as we had seven of the first ten back from the preceeding year. Our hopes were still holding water as we defeated Chaminade and Wydown, but these teams avenged themselves by retaliating with some good basketball on our home court. We also knocked Principia in a game in which our team couldn't miss a basket. Principia gave us a scare against the second string late in the game but the first five went back in and put out the fire. Our next game was a close one won by Western Military Academy on their floor with their six-foot cen- ter hitting four-fifths of their points. Then Country Day squeaked by us in a heart-breaker by one point. We were still on the skids as Principia's Junior Panthers rocked us 28-23. We were beginning to see Red-White and Blue when we played the Western Cadets the second time and we won in the last seven seconds 32- 30. We wanted to beat CDS in the last game of the season, but due to their height and our cold eyes and hastily tossed shots, they took another victory from us. We wish to thank Coach Vibert for guiding us through the season and the parents and stu- dents for being such enthusiastic spectators. Our captains were Jud Calkins and Wally Rist. ,xx 1gJf h7Z tw-7 lflRS'l' ROW: l,ane, Weeks, T. Greensfelder, Dempsey. Foote. Conzelman, Terry, Murphy.

The same week the Bombers lost a heart- breaker to Chaminade 4-3 as Ted Greensfelder turned in a fine pitching effort by holding the opponents to nine scattered hits. They began league competition by beating Country Day 8-2 as Mike Lane allowed just six hits in registering his second win of the season. The next game the Lutheran nine beat the Bombers 4-O as Beumer, their pitcher, pitched a no-hit game. The Bombers playing their first state game lost to Normandy 9-4, but returned to defeat principia 10-5, and Country Day 7-l. The next game with Western was the last league game of the season which Burroughs Won 7-6 by Dave Moran stealing home in the top of the seventh inning. Closing the season, by playing Ladue on our field, We were thoroughly trcunced 14-4. The Bombers had a well balanced team with a .915 fielding average and a .252 batting aver- age. Coach lVlcConnell has compiled an enviable record in his four years at John Burroughs, win- ning l9 and losing but four league games.

Pitcher Dave Hardy hit two home runs, and he held the Daisies to 4 hits, while striking out seven, Playing Lutheran, a week later, the team lost, 8-O, after which they beat Western, ll-10, after Western's wild pitcher walked ten men. The HB team lost their next three games to U. City, 10-2, Ladue, 14-O, and Codasco, l l-3. After this slump, they came back strong to beat Western, ll-3, behind the fine pitching of Dave Hardy who struck out ten: and the Ladue 6-5 where Hardy did another fine job giving up two hits and striking out eleven. Dave Hardy was the teams leading pitcher and batter. On the mound, Max had a 4-2 record: he struck out 65 and gave up only 47 hits and 33 bases on balls. At the plate he had an aver- age of .385 while Mike McCarthy was second with .333. 2 Zcwedail Sixty-five ,rf 'Q , ., ,I ily? if ll 0 600364 The A tennis team, coached by Mr. Hirth, had a very successful season. The team com- piled a 10-2 overall record, including a 4-2 league record, which was good enough for sec- ond place in the league. In the first match, with Webster, all five matches were won. The Hirthmen lost the next match to a powerful Country Day team 2-3. Earl Buchholz and Paul Putzel copped the two wins. The team easily defeated Western and St. Louis U. High without losing a match. ln the next match a Well balanced Principia team was beaten in a shutout. ln our second en- counter With Webster We again defeated them in all five matches with Dick Weil playing third singles. Lutheran also was beaten without yielding a match. The next match Was the big one of the year, but again Country Day was too strong, defeating Burroughs l-4. The first doubles Dick Weil and Alan Goldman lost in three sets, as did the second doubles team com- posed of Tom Weir and George Weber. In the singles Earl Buchholz and Bill Wood lost hard fought matches, and Paul Putzel was the lone winner. When we met Western the second time, the Cadets were easily beaten. Principia, al- though beaten 4-l, put up a stiff battle. ln the last two matches of the year, St. Louis U. and Beaumont were defeated without Winning a match. The Hirthmen won nine of their twelve matches by shutouts. The individuals of the team won 52 out of 60 matches.

In the first match a strong Country Day team beat a less experienced Burroughs team 4-l with Hall Harrison winning the only match. In the next match the Burroughs team beat a weaker and less experienced Western team 5-O. A Ladue team next took the Bur- roughs team on their courts 3-l as Parry Nor- ling at second singles was the only member of the team to win. On the third league match of the season, a good Burroughs team took Prin- cipia 4-l, after several tough matches. In an initial tilt at Codasco, a stronger Country Day team took the stubborn B's in a 3-2 margin With the doubles teams deciding the match. Again, a Weak Western team was defeated 5-O at Western, as Burroughs had an easy time. In one of the most important matches in the league, Burroughs took a stubborn Principia team, 5-O: however, every match was very close, This victory gave Burroughs a 4-2 record, and second place in the league. In the final match of the season, Burroughs beat a combined Ladue and Lutheran team, 7-O, to end the season with a 7-3 record, and 4 straight shutout vic- tories. Qi, x!

Coached jointly again this year by Mr, John Acker and Mr. Erving Leimei, the team ended the season in outstanding form. The first league competition for the team was at Country Day on April 15. Though the Bombers lost by a score of 45-68, a few Bur- roughs team members came through in field events, Cotsworth and Goldman came in first in the shot put and broad jump, respectively, and Corrington led in both the pole vault and the high jump. For their next league competition, the team went to Western Military Academy, where they suffered another defeat, 51-62. In this meet, on April 23, the only Burroughs representative to score a first was Corrington, in the pole vault and the high jump. Burroughs received a number of seconds, however: Morrin in the mile, Birge in the 440, Corrington in the 180 low hurdles, Cullenbine in the 220 yard dash, Jordan in the 880, Cotsworth in the shot put, and Tegethoff in the discus throw. The B District Meet, held April 30, was a surprising, yet deserved victory for the Bomb- ers. Led by Dave Mars, who scored eighteen points, the Burroughs team had four first places: Mars in the l00 and 220 yard dashes, Corring- ton in the pole vault, and Cullenbine, Corring- ton, Birge, and Mars in the 880 yard relay.

Although the team record was only fair, the whole team fought hard in each game, The opener with Principia was close all the way and finally ended in a 2-2 tie. With great spirit, the team set out to beat a much improved Mary Institute squad, but in spite of determination. was defeated by Mary, two to nothing. The third game was in Kansas City against Sunset Hill School: the Burroughs girls were guests of the Sunset team. Having practiced long and hard, the squad easily defeated the KC girls, 4-2. Hoping to have started a winning streak, the team met Ladue, but the best that they could do was to tie them. The final and hardest game was against Villa. With threatening weather, Burroughs pushed hard but couldn't score. Qfackeq The B Varsity Hockey team was unde- feated this year, having two victories and two ties. The season started off well with the Prin- cipia game, the final score being 2-l, Burroughs' favor. Burroughs led by one point in the first half. By the second half, Prin had tied the score, but Burroughs made one more goal to win the game. The Ladue and Mary Institute games were both tied 0-0. In the last and most important game of the season, the B team beat Villa Duchesne 2-O, the first goal being made at the beginning of the game, and the second soon after the start of the second half. The outcome of this game was especially im- portant, for in past years, Villa has been one of the strongest teams in St. Louis. Due to ex- cellent coaching and a fighting spirit, the HB Varsity had a very successful season. FIRST ROW: Aitken, Comfort, Poindexter, Lorenz. Calkins, Riley, Adams, Ruhoff, Thieme.

Burroughs com- pletely outplayed and outscored Ladue and Prin- cipia. The Mary Institute game certainly was the most thrilling game of the season. At the half, Burroughs was trailing by one point, but with fine team play and good coaching, we held Mary I's scoring down and won the game by four points. The only disappointment of the season was our defeat at the hands of Villa. The team play on the whole was not as good as in some of our previous games. Although we lost the game, the forwards set new records for individual and team scoring, and succeeded in cutting Villa's last year's winning lead almost in half. The total number of points for the whole season was ll7, while our opponent scored only 107. 'gaaeetiaff With the fine help of Miss Ruppert and Miss Hammond the UB Varsity had a fairly suc- cessful season, winning three out of four games, The only loss was to Villa Duchesne in a very close game, The opener against Mary Institute was close and exciting but Burroughs came out victorious, Continuing their use of the new zone guarding the guards kept Ladue and Principia away from the basket while the JBS forwards supplied the points to win the two games, All during the season the girls played excellent basketball.

Included in their sports was hockey, basketball, modern dance, and soccer, and many of the spring activities. Most of our girls participated on varsity teams, each one giving excellent skill and spirit to the team. Due to the fine coaching which they received in class, the tenth grade girls learned to- Work and think together as a team. This ability was demon- strated in their class games, in which they had a very good season. In hockey, the A team tied their game against Villa, while the HB team came through with a hardearned victory. In class games against Mary Institute, Ladue, and Principia, the A team Won all of their games but the B team dropped theirs. The Sophomore girls have greatly enjoyed their sports this year and look forward to next year when they can again display their abilities and team spirit. FIRST ROW: Morris, Burkham. Poindexter.

It involved not only the seniors and juniors in the Dramatics Club, but also those in tenth grade dramatics. Sing Out, Sweet Land is the legend of a boy, Barnaby Goodchild, who wanders through American scenes from early Puritan days up to the nineteen-twenties, sing- ing folk songs wherever he goes. All the songs were ably done, in solos, duets, and choral groups. Bill Borders was outstanding as Bar- naby. The play was given three times, with improvement in sureness and pace in each per- formance, IIRST ROXV: O'Reilly. D. Riley. Hoclsaday. Herbst, Depping, Marsh, Hein, Thieme, Hunkins. SECOND ROW: K.

This year's seniors were Gene Jordan and Carol Scholz. The purpose of the Assembly Committee is to plan interesting assemblies with the help of the students, who submit their ideas to their ad- visory representatives. These representatives in turn bring up the ideas for discussion in the weekly meetings. pddlfdgfbdffdy Z This year the Photography Club is composed of six students under the guidance of Miss Lowry. Each member divides his time equally between the use of the darkroom and the use of his camera to further his knowledge of photography. Some of the pictures taken by the club this year were used by the Yearbookf' fdfie 66615 Although many members of the Rifle Club hadn't had any formal instruction at the begin- ning of the year in the use and handling of rifles, everyone has shown a great advance in skill. Several high scores have been made by beginners, and a steady trend toward improvement has been shown by all. Many of these participants will receive most of' the fifteen possible awards of the National Rifle Association. Scdemxe Ha! Under the guidance Mr. Eise- man, this year's Science Club rebuilt the oscillator for their cyclotron, an electronic device that generates 28 million elec- trical pulses per second.

The seventh graders learned the fundamentals of cooking and sewing. They prepared simple 'u.1 .... 'l group in sewing. They were permitted to work with wool, a difficult material, and to use more complicated patterns. The senior school girls made a wide variety of clothes. from suits and formal dresses to play clothes, Some of the girls are even able to de- sign their own clothes. .Yun fu-ltt foods and meals and have made a skirt and blouse combination. The eighth graders have had an opportunity to further their seventh grade knowledge, learn new skills, and make a wider variety of clothes. The ninth grade girls were a more advanced The senior school girls had charge of making the costumes of the Christmas Pageant, as well as fitting the chorus robes. ln the spring, all the classes took part in the fashion show. lt took time but was well worth the effort, because everyone enjoyed the clothes the girls had made themselves. 1 I Under the capable supervision of Mr, Prank Schmitt and Mr. Howard Blossom, there were many new and different projects undertaken this year. Several unusual chests of drawers were constructed, as well as many kayaks, de- signed by Mr. Blossom. 7adaazeaaZ 14 wa Under the supervision of Mr. Schmitt, the engineering drawing and architectural drawing courses were pursued to their fullest. Many field trips were taken by the architectural draw- ing students, to see how their drawings are con- verted into houses. The shop offers such courses as arc welding, wood and metal lathe courses, and elementary foundry work. The shop is different than those which are found in most schools in that it is completely equipped to meet every need that the student might have in completing a project. As well as construction projects, the student may, for ex- ample, bring a radio or motorscooter to repair. With the array of machines and tools at his hand, a student may, if he wishes, construct projects ranging from birdhouses to simple cars. The shop may be credited with giving the world many engineers, as the opportunities of- fered, and the instruction offered directs the stu- dent's thoughts toward the complicated projezts that lie ahead. Ninety-three Hdmdatmcw After weeks of hard Work, the Christmas tableau was presented on December l6, in two showings: one for families and students, the other for friends and alumni. A new idea this year, it was done so that everyone could see the program, as in previous years it has been too crowded. Leading the traditional procession were nar- rators Marjorie Thieme and Walter Metcalfe, followed by the seventh grade book boys and girls: Elizabeth Latzer, Sherry Johnson, Tex Van Hoeffen, Mike Luedde, Bill Schoening, Tom Ryan, and John Dubinsky, and the Junior Chorus and Senior Cilee Club, Between read- ings from the Bible, the audience sang familiar carols with the choruses and student body. Dur- ing the program, the Glee Club sang Beside Thy Cradle Here I Stand, followed by both groups in 'AThis Night, Angel's Song, and Joyous Christmas Song. After the Senior Chorus sang How Unto Bethlehem, the or- chestra with the two choruses sang Let Alto- gether Praise Our Cod, the last piece before the showing of the tableau. While Lane I-laase sang the beautiful A'Mary's Lullaby, the curtains opened to reveal Judy LorenZ's rich and inspiring portrayal of the na- tivity. As the lights came on, they silhouetted Martha McHaney and Kevin Morrin as Mary and Joseph against a blue background, under a colorful fruit arch. As they became brighter, the worshipers, robed in muted colors, were seen kneeling or standing on either side of a central archway. Picked by a special commit- tee, the participants were Ciene Jordan, Mike Larkin, David Bricker, and Stephanie Wotka. The decor of the tableau was Della Ro-bia, with the blue and gold star studded panel be- hind the main arch being typical of this style. Swags of fruit came down from the arch to the simply patterned columns. The color scheme was also traditional, with blues, greens, yellows, and browns predominant. After staying at the peak of intensity for a moment, the lights dimmed and again outlined Mary and Joseph under the arch. Through the combined efforts of the art de- partment, home economics, industrial arts, and student and faculty chairmen, this year's tableau carried on the traditional fineness expected in the programs at Burroughs. N1 mf! Lf - four Fam Teahouse of the August Moon, the theme of the Junior-Senior Prom, Was extremely dif- ficult to execute, and thus required the full co- operation of the Junior Class. The illuminated three-dimensional Japanese screens were the greatest problem from the standpoint of con- struction, lighting, and design. The seven pan- elled screens when stretched out were about for- ty feet long and Cat the highest pointj nine feet high, and thus able to cover one gym Wall. Identical screens stood at each of the four walls: thus unifying the design. In the middle of the gym the bandstand was decorated as the tea- house. A fence painted with caricatures of .lapa- nese people surrounded it. The ivy entwined poles supported the roof of the pagoda. The moon revolving about the teahouse reflected additional light to that which shined through the screens. The prom was designed by Martha Mcl-laney and Janet Depping who were the overall chairmen. Afterwards we all went to Martha Nlcl-laney's for a fabulous open house Where We danced in the streets. Ninety -five I ll: 4 x. 'V' 34- ' f 4 I Isl Wx.

Toby succeeded in looking angelic in the tableau, while Marjorie, Susie, Nancy Baker, Barkley, Dave Moran, Pete. and John Eord were book boys and girls . . . Mar- cia and Roger both gave parties adding a finish- ing touch to our first year. lt was then that some of us took our first romantic walks, and all in all we learned a lot that year-right, Moran? Eighth Grade? Looking around our adviso- ries-headed by Miss Madsen and Mr. Schmidt -we noticed that we had lost Mary Jo, Pxldred, and Marilyn, but we were glad to see Stevie, Martha, Sarah, Jon, Phil, and Earl. This year, we began to feel our importance, especially when Hardy, Cullenbine, and Moran lettered on the 'AG' team. The girls were feeling their oats, too-poor Jane and her belongings were the center of attentionf Also this year we became more aware of the classics, through Miss Mad- sen's Latin Club and Latin banquet. Pete sure looked cute in that toga-wowll Ninth Grade? Now we were the leaders of the junior school. All the old recruits were still with us, and Jody, Gene, Ross, and Engle joined our ranks. Our lucky advisors were Miss Eiesel- man and Tom McConnell. Many new romances sprang up as a result of our second hayride, and certain sages among us began writing scandalous gossip in the notorious publications, the Love- sick Journal and the Lonely Hearts Tribune. One of the platforms read: HWe aim to promote friendly relations between boys and girls! The Christmas Pageant rolled around again, and this time, Kitty and Sandy were the honored members of the tableau. Godfrey had a delight- ful little New Year's Eve party, chaperoned by two suspicious Pinkerton detectives! However, the girls might have enjoyed a senior party more, since they all had crushes on Thym and Philpott, our heroes, Besides their roles New Year's Eve, Depping and Pflager amused the class by their unexpected jaunt to the highlands. They never tried it againf ln the springtime we had an elaborate Erench party-remember the can-can, Cunningham's skirt and her abrupt exit, and bunny-hopping up to the second floor? Jane further entertained the class by giving a beautiful class party with a pathetic orchestra. This brought our gay ninth grade years to a close. Tenth Grade? This year our boys were so wicked that they needed two courageous ad- visors, Mr. Belisle and Dr. Obourn, while the slightly better behaved girls were put in the iContinued on Page lil!

The girls were de- lighted to welcome the four male newcomers- Corrington, Harding, Idol, and Borders-but were sorry to lose Anna and Army. Corring- ton and Morrin headed the class as president and vice-president: secretary and treasurer re- main a mystery. Also-, this year our class began to show its exceptional talents: Sue Harrison de- signed a beautiful tableau Ccontaining Susan Hockaday and Bill Bordersj: Janey Conant gave a fabulous performance as the lead in Brigadoon . This was the year for parties, Cunningham's Halloween party started the year off with a bang and a smell or two: thus we launched our custom of a party every weekend. Barb and Bake did more than their share- thanks for the memories! The boys continued to be wicked as the months wore on, and every Tuesday morning the court was filled with sophomore boys . . . All too- soon came our first experience with final exams, but a day at Pflager Pfarms quickly helped us forget our sleepless nights of studying. Eleventh Grade! The year of responsibility and fabulous fun. The girls had their first get- together at Bev's come-as-you-are party. Will we ever forget arriving at Martha's at six A.M. and finding her painting portraits, or Marjorie and her carload of pajama-clad juniors being stopped by the police? We lost quite a group this year-Janey, Marcia, Judy, Sarah, Anne, Phil, Jonnie, and Ford. However, we gained two Sals and an Al. Our class officers: Presi- dent Ruwitch, Vice-President Hardcastle, Sec- retary-Treasurers Dimmitt and Idol. As juniors. we entered into every conceivable activity, start- ing off in the fall with weekly drive-in parties. The school found that The Wild One had all too great an influence on us. Gur hoods, Berger and Idol, ran away with first prize on tacky day. At the same time we proved to be the greatest menace ever in the Junior Arts Course. Incidentally, King and Idol were so wild about the arts that they took an extension of this course over the summer .... The Christ- mas season came again and this time Charlotte was a wo-rshipper in the Tableau. During the holidays, one of the most outstanding parties was Rogers and Scholz's ice skating partyQour dexterity was amazingf When the junior girls accompanied the basketball team to Pembroke, they learned the strong effects of No-Doz.

Another outstanding feature of this trip was McDonald's and Cullenbine's dip in the icy Chesapeake Bay ..., This year the hidden acting talents of several members of our class were revealed.

The Pro-mi Lots of time and energy were put into the Prom, and our advisorsklvliss Gil- bert, Mr. Hirth, and Mr. Sprague-were most helpful. Martha and Janet's design, Teahouse of the August IVloon , made the dance original and breathtaking. The evening was topped off by an open house at the lVlcI-Ianey's where we danced on Wydown and stopped traffic at 2:30 A.M .... We brought the year to a successful ending by winning Field Day. Senior year!! The year of leadership Cand dis- sipationl. Cur group was just the same as last year, except that Janet I-Iaase left to go to school in Switzerland. People returned this fall with fabulous tales of summer activities: among the most amusing were Ciina's, Alice's, and Mar- tha's bopp- lessons from a seventy year-old man Cmy what funj and Alice's summer romance- and Depping and Berger came back with leder- hosen , Instead of feeling years older now that we had 'ilittle brothers and sisters , we felt rather awkward leading them around .... The big wheels, Ruwitch, Dimmitt, Cerlach, and Conzelman capably took over the offices of Speaker, Secretary, President of the Council, and Chief Justice, while Conzelman, Murphy and Corrington headed the senior class as pres- ident, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer. The class finally came through this year in legislative assemblies with such profound statements as Let's serious up here, and Would you repeat that, please? . . .

The next day, Sally gave her second delicious luncheon at Straub'S, so that we were all in high spirits for the big parade. What a parade it was! The Rack the Daisies sign on Metcalfe's car was the second- best feature of the day-it even made the news- papers! With such inspiration, our team couldn't help but win! This was our year to take over the Christmas Pageant. Martha and Kevin were perfect for Mary and Joseph, and Gene was our choice for a Worshipper. Marjorie and Walter were the best narrators in years, and Lane closed the pro- gram beautifully and effectively by singing Mary's Lullaby . . . Talent-wise, Schnee and Borders continued to show us their acting abil- ity, and Wallas gave an outstanding perform- ance as The Man Who Came To Dinner. In the same play, Lee and Bilco revealed their hid- den selves. Also this year, the Missouri Ridge- runners turned professional. Operetta time found Beckers, Berger, Conzelman, I-laase, and Harrison in leading roles. We had some literary geniuses in our crowd, too, Charlotte ruled the World , and Kitty and Kevin capably edited the Review . . . Our advisors, Mrs. Roude- bush and Dr. Haertter, had quite a job to do, since we all had to choose the appropriate col- lege. As it turned out, l3 boys applied to Yale. . . . Bridge parties and shopping now became senior girls' activities-and instead of writing college men, they chased the younger boys.

TRACK CContinued from Page 705 Bombers scored 43M points, to become the St. Louis district track and field champions of Class B schools. Later in the season Burroughs quali- fiers competed in the state championship meet at the University of Missouri, where they also performed well. The triangular meet with Clayton and Cham- inade on May 5 was an easy victory for the Bo-mbers, who were, by this time, acquiring more of the necessary experience. ln this meet, which Burroughs won 59-47-18, first places for Burroughs came to Mars, Morrin, Cots- worth, Tegethoff, and Foote, in the 100 yard dash, mile, shotput, discus throw and high jump, respectively. The team's first league victory came at Prin- cipia on May l0. In this meet, which Bur- roughs won by a score of 59-54, first places were awarded to Mars for both the l00-yard and 220-yard dashes, and to lVlorrin, Cots- worth, Corrington, Goldman, and Foote. The ABC League track meet, at Principia on May 2l, was a hard one for Burroughs to lose. Country Day edged out the Bombers in the race for first place by only one point, re- ceiving 46 points, as compared with Burroughs' total of 45. Principia scored 292 points, and Western 222. Placing in this, the final meet of the year, were Cullenbine, Cotsworth, Cor- rington, and Foote, in first place in their events, Mars and Goldman in second, Greensfelder, Morrin, Birge, Corrington, and Foote in the number three spot, and Weidemueller, Jordan, and Tegethoff fourth. As is apparent from its record, the team showed remarkable improvement and develop- ment throughout the season. ELEVENTH GRADE GIRLS SPORTS fContinued from Page 763 Ml. The Burroughs guards held the Ml for- wards to two field goals, but due to the tre- mendous amount of JBS fouls. we lost the game by one point in the last minute of play. Smashing victories were won against Ladue and Prin as the team settled clown to steadier play. Meeting a strong Villa team, the Bur- roughs 6 fought a hard game, but lost 26-16, with the B team meeting a similar fate. The Junior girls are looking forward to an even more successful season next year, and want to thank Okrah for his help and guidance. We sincerely hope he will continue to watch over us in next year's games.

Louis 5, Mo. PA. 6-0202 One Hund dl: y f STUDENT COURT Cffontinued from Page 833 not be present at the court meetings after the first few months. At the beginning of the year this court adopted a new procedure for handling cases and sentences. First, John Cotsworth was appoint- ed to see that compositions were placed in the new sentence box in the study hall. Also, Ellie Wehmiller was to act as secretary and keep rec- ords of the discussions. And finally, Dave Kief- fer was put in charge of seeing that witnesses and defendants were on time and was respon- sible for the ringing of the court bell. With such improvements the court was able to handle many cases. At the middle of the year, however, it was necessary to remind wit- nesses to state in greater detail thc facts of each case on the court slip, for a few defendants who seemed guilty could not be proven so. When the study halls became too noisy, faculty members were put in charge, but it was soon realized that, if the students themselves would co-operate with the court and respect it, the study halls might be kept under control Without the faculty. The Student Court continually strives to serve the students effectively and to help them to be aware of their responsibilities. This year's court hopes it has reached this aim, lt surely profited from the experiences of previous courts and feels that improvement can continue to be made in the future.
