Message rom the rincipal JAMES M. HORTON After twelve years of effort, you have reached a plateau in your lives. Some will continue to higher planes and some will stop at this level. 1957 offers more opportunities, perhaps, than any recent year has offered. This is shown in the expansion of the industrial facilities in Burlington and surrounding communities. Many of these industries were not in existence when you started your educa- tion. The field has such possibilities for students well versed in mathematics and science that no one can tell how great they may become. It is the hope of the faculty of Burlington High School that many of the Class of 1957 will take advantage of these opportunities. You have reached a year of decision. May you choose wisely. James M. Horton

(ree | Pir For some our schooling’s over, For others it’s just begun; But learning doesn’t stop right here, As soon as school is done. We learn great things from life, Some of them not so sweet; And many will get discouraged, By hindrance they will meet. The road of life is bumpy, With many detours in it; So don’t expect smooth sailing, For each and every minute. Just keep your head above the clouds, As you try to reach the top; Don’t ever get discouraged, Don’t let your progress stop. So now, the world is waiting, To see what you will do; And as you travel down life’s road, May God watch over you. Dottie Holland
