The student body en masse! Sophomores—awed, bewildered, c nfused! Juniors—accustomed to confusion, conscious of senior tings and anticipating their senior year! Seniors—leaders of the followers, sentimental at the end, but proud to be Burrell graduates! This is the student body. These are the classes. p

The Board of Education During the year of 1965 some very significant changes occurred in the constitution of the school board of the Burrell School District. This was neces- sary because of the combination of the Lower Bur- rell and Upper Burrell School Districts into a newly merged district. On May 11, 1965 a convention was called by the county education officials at which time the five members of the Lower Burrell Board and four members of the Upper Burrell Board were elected into an interim operating committee con- sisting of nine members. On July 1, 1965 this in- terim committee automatically became the official school board of the new Burrell School District as specified by the law of the Commonwealth. Each district has, in addition to its voting mem- bers, one advisory member who serves without the power to vote. They are Dr. J. D. Minford of Lower Burrell and Mr. Charles Beighley of Upper Burrell. The Board of Education of the Burrell School Dis- trict has the great responsibility of formulating the program of learning in our community. They con- cern themselves with both the main decisions of running the school and the minute details necessary for smooth administration. They have created policies for the educational program of the district that are designed to prepare the student for participation in a challenging future. Above all, these’ community- minded citizens have worked with the educational interests of the students in mind. PATENTED Cask OOP APR CERO AO OTIS J.
