.-JP SHANNON. CHARLES SPLITTGERBER. MARIE SPOON, CELIA ANN STEIN, STANLEY SWEET, BILL Shops Luther Burbank Vocational High School . . . a trade school in which students are prepared for the technical arts and crafts. Burbank's shops contribute a great part to make this a vocational school. Boys have the privilege and good fortune of receiving training which may prove useful to them after graduation. Body and paint, body and fender, radio and electric, carpentry, wood- work, metal, drafting, and commercial art are a few of the many opportunities offered to students attending BHS. From these fields of craftsmanship many boys have obtained enough training to go out into the world after graduating and retain a good job. Others through interest and study have gained for themselves a lone busi- ness establishment. These are part of the many organizations at Burbank that make our vo- cational school something to brag about. During some of the periods of the days the boys taking Body 6. Paint do some work on fac- ulty members' cars. Well-painted cars come out of this shop. With the guidance of Mr. Hussell W. Gigstead these boys learn the trade of working on automo biles. -.wid

Journalism Work, patience, concentration, and an abun- dant amount of midnight oil are some of the in- gredients used up by a devoted journalism stu- dent. Work makes the job after it is finished something of which to be proud. Patience to carry on when the going gets rough is at times valuable. Concentration is necessary to provide worth- while reading material. Midnight oil is mostly used when deadlines must be met or when an added amount of in- terest is contributed to the project. A These and many more essentials of journal- ism were used in this year's two yearbook class- es and journalism class. Journalism Producing an annual for a high school consists of hard work and the ambition to get the book out to its public. But the greatest task of all is getting it sold to the students. The goal set for sales of Barks for '57 was 700. The total sales were 644 books. During the campaign the Bark staff and Journalism classes tried to get through to the students. Posters were made to inform you, the student body, of the time limit and price of your annual. Daily announcements were made over the PA not only by our representatives and vice principal, but by Mr. Terrel F. Gates as well. Names of persons buying your school book were placed in the cafeteria forming chains so that others could be inspired to support their book. At the latter part of our campaign we the staff con- sidered offering a grand prize hoping this would attract more sales. After all of our efforts were used and the dead-line reached still our goal was not reached. Why? Is there no interest in supporting your school? Or does anyone care if Burbank is known as the school without a newspaper and maybe without an annual? Your Bark staff would like to know the answer to these questions. lf you can answer them how about telling us! Swindler, Gerald A. Thompson, Noah Vazquez, Elfido Walker, Bill Q Wallace, Roy .3 in
