Burnt Hills Ballston Lake High School - Spartan Epic Hilltop Yearbook (Burnt Hills, NY)

IN MEMORIAM Burnt Hills remembers Mike Meals in many ways: frantically trying to organize unruly groups of students for club pictures in the 1963 Epic, pointing out a succession of Civil War battles with’an eagerness matched only by a spellbound American History class, attacking a debate with the devoted determination that qualified him as a member of the National Forensic League, or intently explaining a prize-winning science fair exhibit. Yet, he was more to each of us than could ever be sufficiently expressed in words or memories. Mike’s death was a severe loss, not only to those who knew him best, but also to the school and community that he served with an unfailing sense of selflessness. He was a true Spartan in ways many of us will never achieve or know.

FOREWORD Education is a process which is continually altered by progress. Its theme is antique, but not obsolete. The educational maps suffer from the yearly, monthly, and even daily passing of time. Within its limits education is an epic that will live through the years. This epic is modernized by the knowledge-seeking demands of the young. The class of 1964 wishes to present this yearbook, the second Epic, as representing the realization of the goals of education for us. As we reflect upon these last twelve years, we remember many tear-stained moments, both sad and happy. Perhaps we do not always remember what we have learned, but we still remember learning it. Most of our experiences at Burnt Hills will be forever engraved in our memories as integral segments of our educational epic.
