grow Growth is a characteristic of youth. The public schools have contributed greatly to your growth and development. Your educational experiences are part of the maturing process; from the care-free experi- ences of childhood to the responsibilities of adults. Maturity is more than age alone. It reflects reasoned judgment, concern for your fellowman, acceptance of responsibility, desire to contribute to community welfare, moral and spiritual develop- ment, ability to earn your livelihood, and the wil- lingness to contribute to family life. How mature are you? Congratulations upon your graduation! Continue to grow in your service to God and man! Joseph W. Howe Superintendent of Schools Psychologists tell us that the mature person is one who has attained physical maturity and who, at the same time, has developed certain attitudes, interests, and ambitions which differ considerably from those characteristic of childhood and adoles- cence. If your choice of maturity as the theme of your yearbook is an expression of willingness on your part to work toward the continued develop- ment of desirable attitudes and interests, you are to be commended. We sincerely hope that the training you have received in school has provided you with a firm foundation on which you can build a happy, normal, adult life. Walter D. Withka Administrative Assistant DR. JOSEPH W. HOWE Superintendent of Burlington City Schools MR. WALTER D. WITHKA Administrative Assistant Dr. Howe introduces Mrs. Hogan at the gradua- tion exercises of the Class of 1963.

Perhaps the most important of these is the smooth and efficient functioning of our Board of Education. The policies they formulate and the decisions they make are designed to guide us and to make us responsible young adults. These competent people not only survey the field of education, but they test new ideas in education in our school system. In general, and specifically as responsible citizens, the members of our Board of Education set the pattern for all to follow.

MR. ROBERT F. DOTTI Principal Burlington Senior High School jf As the Class of 1964 leaves Burlington Senior High School, many wonderful memories of its members linger behind. The cooperation with other students, faculty, and administration has been ex- cellent. Your class activities have all been very successful in keeping with the traditions of Burling- ton Senior High School. It can truly be said that this class has matured rapidly in the three years you, its members, have studied and lived here. My best wishes go with you for continuation of this process of maturity into the future. Robert F. Dotti Principal Mr. Dotti awards a certificate to Diogo Pimintel, 1962-63 exchange student from Brazil, at the graduation exercises for the Class of 1963. Mrs. Eleanor Lucas and Miss Nancy Ridgeway are essential ele- ments contributing to the smooth operation of our high school from the principal’s office.
