I was reading about the 1973 graduates at BHS and their educational plans. I graduated in 1962, almost a different era. When I was a Junior I got to see the assistant guidance counselor (she was a recent college graduate) and she made some suggestions about a major and colleges that were economical. When I was a senior I had to see Mrs Billings, the head guidance counselor, who was the ex-Latin teacher. When I told her that I didn’t want to be a teacher or nurse (the only acceptable subjects for a female to major in) she said “Dorothy I don’t know what to do with you.” So followed the advice that the assistant gave me the year before and went to Northeastern and majored in Math.
I love reading the news you publish about the old Burlington, I Still have many family members there and our daughter got married from Everett and now lives in Burlington and constantly meets people who know my family. Very interesting.
