Superintendent's Message . Three hundred years ago in Massachussetts Coiony, a law was enacted which established the first free public schools for America. The law did one very important thing. lt placed the direction of the public schools in the hands of the Board of Education, elected by the people. Today in this country, four hundred thousand school board members represent the people of the entire Nation, review the policies, and make the decisions which determine the kind of education America wants for its children. Down through the years the public schools have upheld the traditions and the heritage of this Nation, and have in actuality become the foundation upon which our Ameri- can democratic form of government rests. This is due largely to the fact that schools are so definitely an example of American democracy in action. J R CROAD Superintendent Always first in the minds ofthe Board of Education n'embers is the wish to bett r and increase the educational opportunities ofthe Burbank students Members of tne Board are Water Q Fr nch Margaret P. Watts, Donald M. Tuttle, Susan C Lundstrom Gordon V McCann

Principal's Message . The American way of life and American public education are inseparable in their history, their ideals and purposes, and in their mutual dependence. Through the years they have gone through troubled times together. Strength of purpose, courage, and faith in the ideals on which our democracy was founded have kept America strong. Perhaps more seriously than ever before, these ideals are being challenged today. Strength, courage, and faith are as necessary in 1952 as they were in 1776. God willing, may our American way continue to be a guid- ing light for free men everywhere, and may we at Burbank High School reaffirm our partnership in the responsibility and glory which is America. ll ' x Z A.
