In football practice under Mr. Albanos supervision, tilt squad is conditioned for competition and eventual victory. Competition and rivalry in the Burling- ton County League guarantees excite- ment at the Saturday afternoon football games. Spectators revel in the display of ruggedness, power, and stamina that are always a part of every Burlington High football game. Basketball helps to develop agility in movements, while it is supplementing the strength and endurance of the young body. Burlington’s prowess on the basketball court is shown by the frequency with which the squad reaches the semi-finals of the state tournaments. Spring sports, which includes track as well as baseball, prepare students for a summer of fun and a variety of physical activity. Wrestling, a relatively new sport at B.S.H.S., conditions the body, stresses quickness of movement, and develops boundless stamina. Wrestling is part of the sports program at school—a program that gives every boy a chance to participate in an ac- tivity that will develop him physically. Besides rousing the enthusiasm of spec- tators at sports events, the cheerleaders gain much experience and exercise in the intricate formations they originate. mount . . . cooperation with others comes naturally .,. personal satisfaction is reward enough . .. confidence to venture . . . awareness that the final stage is upon us . . .

Prom night proves to be exciting for our sponsors, too. They join the traditional reception line to greet the members of the class. The Junior Prom was elaborately centered around the charming theme, “La Romance de Paris.” Many students were involved in this gala event. Those attending the Prom admire a symbol of France which was a prominent embellishment of the affair. Juniors sponsor this affair for the seniors. Student producer of the Junior Play, Betty O’Neil, discusses final plans with her assistants. This play was held in March 1963 as juniors. Members of the stage crew are shown a few of the techniques used in the design of the Junior Play sets. Pat Wolfe explains the illusion created. Refreshments are always the big hit of the Junior-Senior Party. The seniors sponsor this event for the juniors. In order to understand people of other lands, the International Dinner is sponsored by the Stu- dent Council to introduce us to foreign foods and customs. The crowning of the Queen is one of the many events of the International Ball held for for- eign exchange students by Stu- dent Council. The activities of Welfare Week, a Student Council project to raise money for its many com- munity services contributions, al- ways involves hilarious costum- ing. of development. . . leading to the inevitable climax . . . we can now answer that question posed at the beginning . . . we are the Class of 1964 . . . joining MATURE GRADUATES. suited m fuJWledged maturity
