a-F K ,,.,,,. .,,,. Dwams B ,, Senior year became a long-sought re- ality for 700 students this year as gov- ernment classes, announcement orders and cap and gown measurements made the class realize they were really and truly seniors. The canned-food drive set the seniors apart from the underclassmen as they were let out of school early to collect for the worthy cause. Senior Student Council members contributed to anoth- er worthy cause. They presented S50 to Mr. Leo Ciallardo, Burges teacher, to help with medical expenses. Graduation day came May 30, and with it came tears of sadness and joy. As seniors walked the hall of Burges for the last time May 24, memories flashed through their heads, reminding them of all the good times and some ofthe bad times that they had at Burges. In purple gowns Tuesday night, the T972 senior class took solemnly the challenge to go out and conquer the world. tal Hank Bashore, Tim Ball, and Alice Varela, rep- resenting the Student Council, present Mr. Callar- do, teacher, with a S50 check to help with medi- cal expenses for his son who was stricken with cancer. tbl Hettie Cardon, senior, shows Richard Young some of the highlights for the senior trip. fcl Cindy Williams hugs a friend after taking the long anticipated walk for her diploma. bl
