Detroit Central High School

 

                                                                            June 1920

 

 

       As we are leaving Central High School and those who for four years have guided us and urged us on toward the final goal of victory, we wish to pay a special tribute to Mr. Wilbur G. Burroughs, able grade principal of the House of Argonauts and the friend and advisor of everybody.
       All through our high school career Mr. Burroughs has been an inspiration to us, for he represents the highest and finest type of manhood, and the nobility and strength of his character has found expression in the very bottom of our hearts.
       For the kindly assistance he rendered in guiding us through vicissitudes, for the wonderful encouragement, council and attention he gave us, we, the Class of June, 1920, as a token of our esteemed gratitude, dedicate to him this CENTRALITE to show that in the heart of this class there is a keen appreciation of his unselfish interest.
