F l l l LM, DONALD LUTHER President JOSEPH MAIORANA Secretary Treasurer Class l-listory: lt does not seem very long ago that we were waiting for news of our acceptance as a student at Burgard Vocational l-ligh School. Many sleepless nights were spent in anticipation until the good news finally arrived. ln September of l95O we were admitted to the halls of Burgard for the first time as a student. During that first hectic year we did many things that today seem much easier than when we were asked to do them, as we cleaned around our table in the cafeteria we wondered what it had to do with our chosen trade, and the fear of the Senior Monitor with his t curt you stay was an awful moment in our lives. Gradually those habits and customs of our Grammar school days disappeared and before we realized it the final exams were upon us and we became full-fledged Sophmores. During our second year the Cross-Country team came through with another championship. Our assembly programs seemed to be getting longer and better. A few of the highlights were Mr. l-larris's Dramatic Club in Summer Comes to the - Diamond G , and the varied full length movies seemed to ease the burden of continued school work. But once again we found ourselves sitting. at an examination desk and the worry of passing was on our minds. y At lost we were another step toward our chosen goal. ln our lunior Year came a big event in the history of Burgard, Burgard at the Philharmonicu. With Mr. Roberts in charge we had many fine assembly programs and eventually we proved to everyone that a voccitional school can and will support the highest forms of culture. By this time we had lost many of our comrades to the Services and to the trades, but we hurried on to our Senior year with every hope. Finally! the top of the ladder, we were Seniors. Along with interesting instructions on how to dress properly we were induced to have our pictures taken for the yearbook. Many grumbles were heard but each of us was secretly proud of the result. Teachers became more friendly and helpful and we suddenly realized a new road lay ahead of us. As we now take our first step along that road we think back on the days that have gone before and only the pleasant memories seem to stand out in our minds. Four years at Burgard is a good start along any road to success and for that start we are ever grateful.
