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

J Breer Our high school life is now about to draw to a close. Some of us will go on in the field of education, many will choose other careers. In a year or two we will all reminisce over the events of the past four years. We will remember all the friends we made and the good times we had together. This yearbook will help us to remember. We will remember our school life and how we tried to profit by every mistake. Some subjects we understood, others we did not grasp. But every day we learned something new, and even now we are still learning and will continue to learn for the rest of our lives. “Education is not a mere means to life; Education is life.”
