FGREWGRD As we reach the end of four years of work and play, disappointment and triumph, let us stop and think of what these years should have meant to us. Certainly we have grown and matured. There is a great difference between the inexperienced freshmen of 1951 and us seniors who are now graduating. Remember the feelings we had when we first came here, like strangers in a new land? Now we have explored the territories of algebra and history and typing and Spanish. We have met many people and we have made many friends. We have surely gained invaluable experience from these contacts. Let us hope that we have come to accept customs and beliefs different from our own, that we have learned to appreciate differences rather than ridicule them, that we recognize the fact that world peace lies in understanding our neighbors. Let us hope we realize the expert guidance and wonderful stores of know- ledge that were opened to us by competent and understanding teachers inter- ested in our welfare. We are not just citizens of Burlington, or New Jersey, or even the United States. We are citizens of the world. Only by our efforts can we make it a better place for future generations to live in. So read on, Class of '55, Relive those four short years!
