Pio ARROWHEAD 1946 other than Cynthia Robinson. We enter the auditorium where we find the children as- sembled and waiting for the well-known poet of the day, William Sheerin, to begin his program. Not being able to remain for the whole program, we do not get the chance to speak to ‘’Billy.’’ Instead, we hasten on to continue our exploring. As we come out of the school we notice a crowd assembled in the park. As we walk closer we see, to our great amaze- ment, that the crowd is listening to a speech being made by Edward O’Mahony. ‘Eddie’ is now one of the great orators of the day. “’Eddie’’ is now campaigning for the Mayor. The Mayor is none other than Bertram Malone. ‘‘Bert’’ is the best Mayor that Burl- ington has yet had. However, he always foliows the old theory of kissing babies and pass- ing out cigars to get votes. Bert’’ also proves to be a good source of information. From him we learn that “Killer’’ Peterson is in town. As soon as we gain this information, we rush over to the sparring gym. Here we find that Harry’s manager is Audrey Crockett. Harry is not able to speak to us at first, a she is recovering from a blow he received while Audrey was showing him a new trick. She completely knocked the wind out of him. Edward Lord is also a member of ‘’Killer’’ Peterson’s company. ‘’Eddie’’ is an under- taker, and he feels that Harry is a good one to follow around as he gives him a lot of business. On the sideline ‘Eddie’ is trying to promote a 20-mile-per-hour speed limit in Burlington and surrounding towns. Leaving the gym, we walk right into Harry Nelson. Harry is now directing a ‘Gay Nineties Revue’’ and we walk over with him to the theatre to watch a rehearsal. Here we find Helen Seminatore, who is now known as Helena, billed as the star performer. Helena does most of the singing. She has so many fellows waiting for her at the stage door that we have to put up a good fight to get in. In the first act we are surprised to find Barbara Cooke and Gloria Harris as the dancing team. After a long, hard struggle they have finally been able to leave the chorus and do their own specialty. Their routine is called ‘’Pass the Biscuits, Mirandy’’ or “‘A Little Indigestion Won’t Hurt Me Now.” As our time is now growing short we have to leave and wend our way back to our time machine. As long as we know what the future holds for us we are not afraid to face it. We know that we will have to work hard toward that future, but we will do our best to put Burlington ‘’on the map.”

1946 ARROWHEAD ZA GEASS PROPHEGY: We will now take a trip in our time machine to the year 1966. In this way we will get a look into the future and see where we will be 20 years from now. Arriving at Burlington we find that the town has greatly progressed and the widely known Mardi Gras is now going on. The first thing that catches our eye is a circus. As it is not yet time for the performance to begin, we decide to visit the sideshow. The “Fat Lady” turns out to be none other than Ruth MacKenzie, now Mrs. Irving McLaughlin. Irving is working right at her side as the famous ‘Thin Man.’’ Of course, this is just a sideline with him. His real work is that of professor of English at Burlington University. From Irving we learn that ‘‘Roddy’’ Russell is also a professor at Burlington University. His specialty is Mathematics. Irving gives us information on where to find some other of our classmates and we go on our way. As we scuff along down Main Street our eyes nearly leave us at the sight coming toward us. Before we know it, Joan Reed stands before us and we can hardly believe our eyes. Joan is the most changed one of our group that we have seen yet. She is now a busi- ness executive and really looks the part. Her hair is parted in the, middle and combed into a pug. Her clothes are strictly business suits, and she never goes out to have any fun. She wants her employees to be afraid of her so she can’t show them that she likes a good time. Because of her great dislike for men, her employees are all women. We learn of our one disappointment from Joan. We will be unable to see three of our classmates. Lillian Kelly and Irene Fontaine, following their great devotion and interest in history, have become archaeologists and are now visiting the Egyptian tombs. Accompany- ing them is their favorite teacher, Mr. Meade. The other classmate is Ernest Swanson. “Ernie’ has fulfilled his lifelong ambition of becoming a hermit. Because he is a woman- hater, “Ernie’’ only comes out to the annual bachelors party, held at Burlington University. Rita Govoni is the next classmate to catch our eye. We find that she has married her childhood sweetheart, Russell Morrison, and they are very happy with two sets of twins. Russell has followed in his father’s footsteps and is a member of the school board. Rita informs us that Doris Hallajian is now living next door to her and is also happily married. Doris is now a very quiet person and gives in to her husband's every wish. Kenneth Miller has been serving in the Navy all of this time and has now returned home. ‘’Ken’’ married a South Sea Islander and now has three little expert hula dancers in his home. Suddenly we are startled by the sound of a fire siren. A fire engine comes racing down Main Street with Chief Thomas Lusk right behind it. ‘“Tom’’ is a confirmed bach- elor, although he is adored by all of the women. Hurrying along behind the chief’s car we find that the dog track is on fire. There we find the owner, Donald Croteau, wringing his hands for fear that everything is to be lost. However, under the capable direction of Chief Lusk only half of the buildings burn down! After making sure that the fire is out, we turn away and decide to visit the high school. Upon entering we are greeted by the superintendent, who turns out to be none
