RAYMOND E. PERKINS To the Seniors; It might be well to keep in mind constantly your mot- to -- “There are many weak rungs in the ladder of suc- cess’ -- for you are the ones who can do more than any- one else to make those rungs strong. Remember that the strength of each rung depends not only upon the abilities and capabilities of the builder, but upon his initiative and push as well. Your ladder is your success or failure in life. Each rung you put into it marks a step upward or forward. The stength of that step forward depends upon the strength of the rung you placed in your ladder. If each rung has been suitably prepared your step forward is a sure and def- inite one, but if the rung has been too quickly made and of poor and weak material, the step may be one of failure to advance. Take the time to build each rung properly and your advancement will be a steady one -- your success a cer- tainty. Raymond E. Perkins Superintendent of Schools [esa

Dedication In 1939, the doors of Burlington’s Junior-Senior High School were opened for the first time. The beautiful, modern building was a credit to the town. In the years following, thanks to the ceaseless ef- fort of the Custodian, the building has remained outstanding for its cleanliness and sparkle. To Mr. Simon Johnson, untiring worker, faith- ful friend, and cheerful listener to all our woes, we, the class of 1947, proudly dedicate our Yearbook. bal
