SENIOR PERSPECTIVE When your last year of High School rolls along, you are faced with the dif- ficulty of making a decision that means your whole future. We, the gradu- ating Class of 1971, feel that Burgard has done its best in fulfilling the re- quirements of our decision. For the previous four years, our dedicated teachers and administration have given us all they were capable of, sharing both their knowledge and personal experiences. As Freshmen, we were faced with a period of adjustment. Our whole lives were placed in a new environment where so many situations played against each other for priority. These were trying times. Then too, there was the death of the highly respected member of the faculty, Mr. Thomas McCarthy. Upon our return to Burgard for a second year, things seemed to change almost like magic. The summer months appeared to give us that extra bit of confidence we needed to face school once again. There were changes with- in the structure itself, the moving of the printing department to McKinley. As Sophomores too, we experienced another Burgard first , for that was the year of the winter carnival. Our Junior year entailed a lot of growing up. We reached the realization that half of our high school career had been concluded. Our last year was extremely darkened by the loss of our beloved principal, Mr. Joseph Crotty. His patience guided us through so much. After spending four enlightening stimulating years at Burgard, we find very little regret, and can only hope that subsequent graduating classes find this fine school as rewarding. 21
