School News Many things about Burnham High School were new this year-new members of the administration, new rooms, and even some new ideas. W'e started 05 with a new idea. That was that we started to school on the last of September instead of following the usual custom of beginning the day after Labor Day. This late start was a result in the delay of the eight new rooms, which were finally ready for use at Christmas time. These new rooms Cforming an extension to the east wing of the original buildingj included: a lovely new music room with a platform at the front from which our musical Bob was able to put across his ideas with far greater persuasion, a new shop with facilities which enabled the students to perform operations on sick autos Qthis fact was much appreciated by our auto-driving teachersjg a new and well-equipped drawing-room over which Mr. Hilliard presided, the new stockroom on the third door, which was a decided advantage, in the fact that the annual staif took partial possession of it Qby the staf it was sardonically named the Studio j, where all the work on the BURGOBLAC was carried ony besides these special rooms, there are, in the new part, four regular classrooms much resembling the old ones. We were pleasantly surprised by the change in the appearance of some of the old rooms. The old Senior Assembly had been miraculously converted into two rooms, one regular classroom, the other a library Cimaginelj, completely equipped with shiny new tables and with its walls all covered with the same kind of shelves. We could see the shine on them then, but before the year was over this was concealed by a fine supply of fiction and reference books. Then there was someone sitting sedately behind the desk, and the question, Who's thatl , arose. Some pupil soon obtained the low down and it was not long before it was generally known that the librarian 's name was Miss Gordon. As she began to know us better she came out from behind the desk and rolled up her sleeves and began lugging those many, manv new books which the demanding teachers had ordered. On the side CD she became the director of the Pepperettes, put them on their feet, then on the basket-ball fioor, and then on the spectators' heels with Candy'! But we were talking about 'fold new rooms, weren't we? Well! The girls got a little attention this time and, of course, the usual thing followed. They bragged so much about their new shower-room fthe old sewing- room-but you 'd never recognize itj that the fellows got peeved and began to think that their feelings were hurt, so I suppose they will have to have new suits next year. Since the shower-room was in the location of the old sewing-room, this necessitated that the old draw- ing-room be changed into a new sewing-room, more complete than the original. There! I think we have everyone comfortably settled. Then we acquired a pair of new faculty members whose beaming countenances were seen daily among those of our more familiar teachers. They are: Mr. Ellsworth, whose friendship and guidance are valued by his history and geography students, and Miss Seifert, who presided over the typing room and poured forth her knowledge of commercial training onlmany appreciative pupils. VVe can hardly call Mr. Hilliard something new. NVe of Burn- ham High already knew him well, and his absence the year before only made us doubly glad to have him back again. Now, men, like rooms, must sometimes change and ht themselves to fill different purposes. To be true, Mr. Smith looks the same and acts the same. I think he really is the same except for the fact that he has climbed to a higher step on that stairway of Administration and has very capably performed the duties of Principal. Is it any wonder that Burnham, with all these delightful improvements, has had an exceedingly eventful and progressive year? Page Fourleen
