Burdge their sincere good wishes upon the occasion of his retirement this june from active school service. Dr. Burdge came to Roosevelt in the fall of 1930 after a long and illustrious career in the field of education. His genial personality, his wise counsel, and his emin- ent scholarship have won for him not only the esteem due a man of his attainments but the friendship of all his associates. The Class of 1934 feels it a particular honor to leave these portals in his distinguished com- pany.
