BURLINGTON'S CLASS OF 1968 CELEBRATES 50TH REUNION – Deeming themselves "the best class to ever go through Burlington," the Class of 1968 appears to have fun as they ride on a float and celebrate their 50th in the alumni reunion parade Saturday. This class of 16 was the last class to graduate from Burlington before consolidating with Byron-Driftwood. Classmates as they appear on the float are (back, at left) Tom Diel and Vickie Kraft Morgan; (front, from left) Harold Parr, Susan Schubert Palmer, Christie Castle Ballard, Robert Polson, Sam Ott, Rodger Hill. On the float but not in view are Michelle Jack White, Gary Prewett and Roland Pederson. Classmates Steve Farney and Diane Ellis did not make it to the reunion. At the front of their float were three empty chairs representing those classmates that are deceased: Judy Miller Jeffries, Luanne Beard Boham and Rex Diel.
