Public schools have never had the attention of the nation as much as in these past ten years of debating their future course. Sputnik, that bless- ing in disguise, has awakened all Americans to the need for more emphasis in the fields of mathe- matics and science. Sound thinking will be re- uired to see that nothing is overemphasized at flme expense of other vital areas of learning. Good education costs money, and the inflationary trends of the times affect the program which can be offered. Burlington has been aware of the needs of its youth. This school year the new Lawrence Barnes School was dedicated. In September the Lyman C. Hunt junior High School will open its doors. The pressure on the existing facilities at Burlington junior High School will be eased. However, an- other elementary school will be needed in the North Avenue area. This population growth is WILLIAM T. LOGAN, Superintendent of Schools wonderful, but it presents the ever increasing problem of more and more classrooms. As graduates of Burlington High School, you can be proud of your school system. You have received the best education possible, better than the opportunities afforded preceding generations. The primary goal of your schools has been to guide you towards meeting the obligations of citizenship. As the best informed, best equipped future citizens, you will be challenged to see that tomorrow's school children will have oppor- tunities to develop their intellects equal to or better than those afforded you. It is the greatest challenge the nation faces - and its solution will give you the greatest satisfaction. WILLIAM T. LOGAN, ju., Superintendent of Scboolr
