As director of industrial arts and vocational education at West Springfield High School for many years, Mr. Burns was respected by all who were acquainted with him. Born in Leominster, Massachusetts, in june of 1906, Mr. Burns attended grammar schools in Leominster and was graduated from Worcester Trade School. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Fitchburg State Teachers College and his Masters degree from the University of Massachusetts. l-le came to West Springfield in September, 1925, as a teacher in industrial arts in the public schools. At a memorial service in his honor, the following poem was selected to be read as a fitting tribute to the spirit of Mr. Burns: BE TRUE Thou mmf he Irzze Ihyrelf, I f lhozz the truth zmlzldrf reach: Thy mul mutt overflow, if lhou Anofhefr mul wauldri reach! Il needy the orferflow of heart T0 give ihe lipr full rpeerh. Think truly, and thy thoughts' Shall the worldir famine feealj Speak lruly. and each word of fhifle Shall he K1 fruilffzl .veedg Lire Iruly. and thy life rhall he A grenl and fmhle creed. -Horatius Bonar I2
