A friend to the San Mateo County Commission on Disabilities recently shared his copy of his 1957 Burlingame High School Yearbook. The photo above shows the dedication of that year's 'Panther Tracks' going to Ed Roberts. The dedication reads:
Occasionally we meet a person whose courage and determination are such that he is able to give of his strength to those who know him. Such a person is Eddie Roberts.
In 1953, Ed, who was hospitalized with polio, received the first diploma ever to be given at Burlingame Intermediate School. Our present class of 1957 shared this graduation happiness with him.
Today, Ed is a member of our student body by means of a home-to-school telephone hookup which is provided through the generosity of the San Mateo Junior Women's Club.
Ed not only participates in class but is active in school affairs as well. He writes "Sidelines", the well known sports article which appears in the "B". He is a member of the Junior Statesman Club and is also a member of the Celt's Hi-Y Club.
To Eddie Roberts, whose spirit is an inspiration to us all, we, the yearbook staff, dedicate the 1957 edition of Panther Tracks.
