FROM THE ARCHIVES BURKE’S ALUMNAE IN PRINT

I

n 1912, when the members of the first graduating class at Miss Burke’s went out into the world, they founded a community of incredible graduates that has been growing for more than a hundred years (and counting)!

Over the decades, the voices and stories of our alumnae have been featured in a variety of ways — from dedications and special sections in the yearbook to a shared publication with the annual report, and in more recent years, a stand-alone full-color magazine. We are thrilled to unveil the latest design and name of our beloved alumnae magazine—now Burke’s Magazine! Rest assured, we are saying goodbye to the KayDeeBee in name only. We can’t wait to fill the pages of Burke’s Magazine with adventures, accomplishments, and updates from our current and future alumnae.

“Twenty-two Junes have come and gone and with each year a new class has come to join the last, until this year we form a circle six hundred strong! We welcome each one of the Class of 1934 as a new link in our never ending chain, and we hope that as you clasp hands with us, you will feel the strength in the unity of spirit which binds us as one around “The House of Dreams.”

— President Margaret Moore ’28

Burke’s has undergone many changes since that dedication, but the threads that bind us are clear: tradition enriched with innovation; a joyous learning experience within a highly academic environment; and students who have the confidence to achieve their ambitions.
