To the Class of 1962: Congratulations to each of you! It is my sincere hope that you have made a wise decision in your choice of a career. Some of you are planning to continue your education beyond the secondary level, others will accept positions in busi- ness and industry, while still others will enter the armed services. Whatever be your goal, my very best wishes go with you. As you leave these portals, may your fondest dreams be realized. MARY L. BILLINGS Director of Guidance To the Class of 1962: While you have been in school you have had the opportunity to study in a variety of subject matter fields and an opportunity to investigate various occupational and vocational choices. These opportunities have been ex- tended to you in the expectation that they would assist you in reaching a level of adult maturity which would enable you to make wise choices and decisions during your life and in your future career. Now that you are leaving high school and entering a new phase of your life, the success of your school program will be tested by your degree of success in your new endeavors. And we feel that because you have availed yourself of the opportunities that we have offered you and because you have reached a high level of maturity, you will be highly successful in whatever career that you have chosen for yourself. THOMAS A. MOHAN Assistant Princival

To the Class of 1962: The Class of 1962 should be especially proud to be the first graduating class from the newly occupied building which is the Burling- ton High School. Many years of planning, co-operation and construction went into this fine building which the town so generously voted to erect. As you can see from the length of time which you have been in school, many changes have been made in the type of education which you have received. We have at present some of the equipment which has been developed within the last twelve years. We do not yet have any automated equipment, but its acquisition is probably not too far in the future. Many businesses have begun to use these automated machines. As more of them install the equipment, certain types of jobs will be abolished. Naturally, these will be the jobs which are in the category of unskilled or semi- skilled. This is because these types of jobs do not require much education and training. These routine jobs can be programmed into an autom atic machine which will accomplish the task much more efficiently than a human can do. From this we can see that the more education a person has, the better opportunity he will have to remain gainfully employed. On behalf of the entire faculty, if offer to the Class of 1962 the best wishes for a successful and happy future in whatever goal each of you has selected. JAMES M. HORTON Principal To the Class of 1962: To you, the Class of 1962, I offer sincere congratulations in behalf of the School Committee and myself. As you take leave of us, I feel sure that you are well prepared to encounter life’s tasks and responsibilities. If you remember that a happy and fruitful life consists of a series of tasks done well, you need have no doubts about the future. May success crown your every effort and may we always point with pride to the fact that you are graduates of Bur- lington High School. JEROME J. LYNCH Superintendent of Schools
