Flllillllllllll We, the Senior class of Sherman E. Burroughs High School, take pleasure in presenting the third edition of the EL BURRO, a diary of school activities. The goal of the annual class has been to publish an accurate and interesting account of school life in a new and different manner. We wish to transmit by way of our theme, the newspaper article, the important part teen-agers play in making the news of this com- munity. Class projects, Stall activities, dances, athletic events, Student Council proceedings - many facets in the lives of the students at B. H. S. are portrayed on the pages of this book. We wish to extend you a personal invitation to accompany us on a tour through the fun and frolic of this past year. We sincerely hope that this EL BURRO will be one that you will cherish as a source for memories of one of the best years of your lives. 1 THE EDITORS Page Three
