At is rather difficult for me, only one, to speak for each member of the graduating class of 1963. Mv feelings mav not be shared by all, for fe are nof mature enough to habe independent attitudes tofard life. Our education has helped us to decide our goals and how fe hope to obtain them. No is the time for great decisions, for fe must decide if these goals are realistic and worthwhile. Through our school vears fe habe all suffered the disappoint- ments of failure as fell as hating knofon the jous of success. Perhaps these di sappointments habe better prepared us for other disappoint- ments fhich fe fill later encounter. Maube the jous of success habe gifen us strength to continue along the fay tofard greater things. Jf fe habe gained this much, then these past feu vears habe been in- faluable, for our futuve is built upon their foundation. We, the Class of 1963, fill make, in our seemingly small fay, pur impress on the orld. Jt is our hope that it mill be a better place for our habing entered it.

od ica liom We, the Class of 1963, wish to show our gratitude to Mr. Macione by dedicating our year- book to him. This English teacher is a humble and sincere man who has shown personal interest in our class. This in- terest was not merely that of a teacher, but that of a friend. Since Mr. Macione was gradu- ated only eight years ago from Burlington High School, he understands and appreciates the anxieties, problems and interests of the students. While he was in high school, Mr. Macione participated in sports. As a teacher, he has maintained in- terest in the athletic program of BHS by serving as an assistant coach of baseball and basketball. Although many of us have known Mr. Macione for only a short while, he has gained our lasting friendship. He has guided us these past few years with sincere interest. He has been willing to share our prob- lems, for he was always there with a helping hand. We, the graduates, hope that one day, we, like Mr. Macione, will be a credit to our common Alma Mater.

A D SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS MR. JEROME J. LYNCH To THE CLASS OF 1963: Charles Dickens in the “Tale of Two Cities” described the year 1775 as follows: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair... ” How similar this description is to the complex world of today — the world into which you are now embarking as a young adult. As each of you plans your future in this intricate pattern of life it is my sincere wish that you will be able to meet the many challenges that will beset you. I hope that your training and counseling here at your Alma Mater has prepared you to apply sound judgments and critical thinking to formulate wise decisions. May your fondest hopes be realized whatever be your goal! Congratulations and good luck! MARY L. BILLINGS Director of Guidance To THE CLASs OF 1963: To you, the graduates of the Class of 1963, congratulations for a job well done. As you take leave of Burlington High School, be mindful that you are entering adulthood, pre- pared to meet life’s challenges. As you encounter life’s problems, confront them with a determina- tion to make a success of any endeavor you undertake. Such perseverance will contribute to a happy and successful life. Whatever be your goal, my very best wishes go with you. JEROME J. LYNCH Superintendent of Schools DIRECTOR OF GUIDANCE MRS. MARY L. BILLINGS
