Class Poem We look ahead to other years When, high school days behind, We shall confront those petty fears Which all are bound to find. Tomorrow brings a newer day In which, with courage strong, We must select the truthful way Despite the siren’s song. If we maintain our faith and hope Remembering all we've learned, The highest hill will have its slope - And many a road will turn. Then surely life will deign to smile. Well be relieved of stress, And finally some one weary mile Will lead us to success. Class Song With happy thoughts we now must leave Burlington our The future tasks we shall achieve, Burlington our Rememb'ring pleasant days gone by Will lighten burdens as we try, And to this school we bid goodby, Burlington our We all shall seek our way in life, Burlington our From break of dawn till fall of night, Burlington our To overcome temptations strong, Always follow right not wrong, Were sure your teachings will live long, Burlington our T. Biagiotti Burlington. Burlington. Burlington. Burlingtcn. Burlington. Burlington. W. Garibotto

Class Ftistory ‘Twas a day in September, the year, thirty-eight. Who could forget that remarkable date? A class like no other walked in through the door And the Union School teachers salaamed to the floor. They studied and labored for six weary years, Leaving “childhood” behind them with all childish fears. Fearless and brave they came into that hall And found seventh graders considered quite small. That Baumgarten girl and the young Collins sprout Arrived, and began right away to help out. In grade eight, the class was so monstrously large It required two teachers, full-time, to take charge. At this time E. Patch joined the fast growing throng And J. LeBlanc too thought she might come along. Then we were Freshmen! Such happy delight. They let us run dances, yes, even at night! We made so much money for our Sophomore year That adviser R. Thomas met us with a cheer. Added to this was the marvelous news That four more new classmates meant more toward our dues. T. Biagiotti and Barbara Leet Raced Delisle and MacArthur to get a good seat. As Juniors we brought in a few more new chairs So that Martin and Russo were free from all cares. The Prom was this year, and for obvious reason Became the success of the Burlington season. By the time we were Seniors, our class held the reins With Paige and J. Warnas our last “growing pains.” Soon we'll be graduates, learned and bright And you'll never again witness just such a sight! William Sweeney
