PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1954 JOHN L. BURKE I would like to leave with you just one thought relative to the part which you will play in the affairs of your community after graduation. There is creeping into the everyday life of many individuals, and I feel that there are far too many, a tendency to measure service to others by what might be the personal gain; specifically, I mean that all too prevalent attitude of What do I get out of it?” Let me caution you that this attitude will inevitably make the kind of community in which you would have no desire to live. The full measure of doing well includes some service for others, for in living he who builds a fence around himself shuts out more than he shuts in. John L. Burke Principal 10

The sky was clear and the day warm, but still there was that strange feeling of the mysterious. I was down by the lake taking my usual sunbath when I saw a large object appear in the sky. It was quite a distance from me; therefore, I could not make it out. Suddenly it came plunging down to earth, the door opened and out came a little man who couldn’t have been more than four feet tall. In his hand he had a book which looked familiar to me, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it before. He sat down and began skimming through the pages. Then it came to me; it was my yearbook. Where had he gotten it, and from whom? While all these questions were running through my mind, I forgot about him. Before 1 knew it four men who looked exactly like him were carrying me to the saucer-like object. There was a loud explosion and I found myself travelling through space. It was a matter of minutes before we landed. Where, I couldn't tell you. For I had ho knowledge of where I was and who these people were. When they opened the door I was flabbergasted.” Here I was standing in front of my old Alma Mater, Bristol Senior High. Surrounding me were all my classmates and I found myself re-living my high school days. First we went into the auditorium and sat in our places while Mr. Burke explained to the student body the rules and regulations that we were to abide by. He then assigned us to our homerooms. 12
