Burlington High School - Oread Yearbook (Burlington, VT)

Page 9 text:

A high school IS otten like a river. Each class is swept along by a seemingly unstoppable cur- rent. Each is difterent from its predecessor, hence unique. However, the year is quickly past, out of sight downstream. The members of the class disperse, find a new life. Only an extraordinary year can maintain a sense of iden- tity years after graduation. The class of 1979 is an extraordinary class, not only with regard to the events that surround it. It is an outspoken class because new regulations and new twists to old issues have forced students to examine their val- ues. This year Burlington EHigh School has faced fiscal crisis, a teacher ' s strike, and miles of bureaucratic red tape from every level of admin- istration. Students have reacted responsibly — taking action, voicing opinions. Innumerable laclors have come together to make 1979 a truly unprecedented year. FORWARD

DEDICA TION there is a time when a teacher becomes more than a teacher; There is a time when a person who cares about the students he instructs becomes a friend. This teacher is always ready to help and to encourage his pupils; He is ready to make class enjoyable, to make school fun. He has a smile and a kind word for all. This teacher, Mr. Brian Burns, is truly a good human being.

Howard Vuiey was quiet and unassuming, a friend to all, the type of man who is the foundation of a school. He spent many hours behind the scenes in the organization of track meets, football, and basket- ball games. He worked for many years with the chess club and debate team. He sacrificed much of himself for family and school. We miss him.
