He has gone to Kinkaid for thirteen years and has always had an interest in sports. From the eighth grade up he has played on the varsity team in basketball and in football. He has lettered three times in football. With all this ability it is very natural that his favorite subiect is physical educa- tion. But Burke has a much more serious goal in mind for his life work. He plans to attend Baylor and maior in medicine. Burke is known for other qualities, too. He has been a tireless worker on the annual this year and has always contributed all his efforts to whatever task he undertakes. His personality has also won him many friends. He is very easy-going and accepts everything as it is. We know that in whatever Burke decides to do he will be a great success.

GEORGE TOOLEY ull is a condition that confronts us-not a theoryf' George Tooley is one of the better scientists in Kinkaid. Its a member of the science club this year, and the president of the same club last year, George has shown his interest in experimental science. His favorite subiects have been biology, chemistry, and physics, while he has been in Kinkaid. George plans to attend Rice after graduation, where he will maior in either science or engineering. He has the ambition of being an engineer or research chemist, and we are sure that his interest in radio and chemistry will help him on the path of accomplishment. Sue Trammell has been in Kinkaid since the first grade and has proved her able scholarship by winning scholarship pins in '48 and '49. Sue has been a member of the basketball team, but designing clothes and riding horseback claim most of her attention outside of school. Sue's favorite subiect is math which has helped her as manager of the annual this year, a iob she handled capably. Sue plans to attend S.M.U. and maior in science, and she has been cheering for the Mustangs for several years. Sue's inexhaustible supply of smiles and good cheer have made her a well liked person and a wonderful member of the senior class. ,N ,Q SUE TRAMMELL She thinks all she speaks, But does not speak all she lhinksf, ri 1. f f 2 f
