J. c. JAKE” BURKETT IN ME The excellent equipment and fine facilities with which we are blessed in the instrumental music department of our school system are the direct result of devotion and many unpaid hours of hard work by one man—J. C. Jake” Burkett. His heart was full of love and energy for his bands who marched in Chicago, Jackson, Mis- sissippi, and the Cotton Bowl. Every football game, parade, and concert were equally important to him. Former students who are scattered throughout our nation today are better citizens as a result of having been under the influence of this dedicated man. Mr. Burkett's dedication went beyond his bands and the music program. He was loyal to his church, many civic organizations of our community, and to his home. We in Baytown shall remember him most when we see or think of the Robert E. Lee Band. The tradition, pride, spirit, and perfection the Lee Band displayed in their performances were the direct result of his devotion and desire for his students to excel in all phases of their band work. His presence will be felt in our instrumental program for many years to come. 8

Once in every few generations a person is born—so full of the spark of vitality, the eagerness of intellect, and the goodness of life that everyone around her benefits by just being near. Our generation lost its gift on September 5, 1962, with the death of Susan Lee Bryan. t Aatyy things could be said about Susan-She was talented, she was a genuis, she had the warm flowing personality that comes from love of other people—all people. Many organizations were proud to claim her as a member—the band, the National Honor Society, the Student Council, the Rotary Anns, the staff of the Lee Traveler, the R. B. Sparks F.T.A., the Junior Classical League, the Ready Writers, and many others. At the beginning of her senior year, she had a 97.48 average, one of the highest ever obtained in the history of the school. A vast and unfillable void was left in Susan's parting. Susan Bryan's memory will live as long as any person lives who loved this great personality. 9
