 Thomas Joseph Burkinshaw Burkie r Tom, as he is known to his classmates, left St. Thomas in the Spring of 1945, and in the following September was admitted to the Second Form. Tom immediately became an ardent Lancaster supporter and did much to improve the “club”. Throughout the years “Burkie” has been keenly interested in sports. He has won letters in football, skiing, and golf. Tom has also been an ardent member of the Outing Club, participating in many hikes, fishing trips, and various other expeditions. In the Summer of 1947 he spent several weeks in the Adirondacks with a group of ten Kingswood boys. Tom joined the editorial board of the News in the Spring of 1949, during his junior year. He has done much to bolster the paper and has written many articles, which have been of great interest to the school. Tom is one of the best-liked boys in the Senior Class, and is noted for the uncanny way in which he manages to slip into most bull sessions”. Aside from being able to take a joke, he is a natural “wit”, and although he doesn’t tell a story or a joke often, when he docs, it’s bound to be good. “Burkie” is one of the most socially active boys in the class, and his presence at every party has been as regular as the coming of robins in spring. Scholastically, Tom is an average student and has maintained a good record throughout his years at Kingswood. He has never been at ends with a master, and has never been in trouble with the school. “Burkie plans to become a dentist as soon as he is done with college and dentistry school. We of the Senior Class wish Tom all the success in the world. 8
