Principal, Mac Lancaster stated, ‘He was involved in everything, an all-around good student.’’ He was president of his sophomore, junior, and senior classes. Therefore it was one of his duties to make a speech at gradua- tion. In his junior year he was vice- president of the student council. John was only one of two students to ever play varsity basketball and be on first string all four years. He was first in the history of Burns to score over 500 points in a season. Altogether he scored over 2000 points. Making all-conference three times, John was the only male student to ever go to the coach’s All-Star game in Greensboro. He also holds the school record for the High Jump in track. John was very involved in church life at Washington Baptist. ‘’Everything he did was for the uplifting of God and the young people of the church,” stated senior Pam Oates. He really helped the school morale by being friendly and smiling at everyone he met. John was really an altogether per- son. He didn’t drink, smoke, or cuss, and he never said anything bad about anybody. He mostly kept to himself. He held a lot of things inside. But he was a straight-up person. He came from a fine home that cared for him and supported him. John was the son of mechanic, Zeno Borders and teachers’ aide, Mary Sue Borders. He had one brother Zeno Borders Jr. According to all the people who knew John Borders, he was an “ideal person.” Sophomores 165
