Class Poem THOUGHTS The day is here, but soon fades away, A parallel of many years now past. Our vibrant minds hold locked in knowledge, truth, , And this will never leave, but always last. We softly glide through empty dim-lit halls, So softly pass the many tight closed doors. The echoes of our footsteps now so loud, We know we'll never hear forevermore. The brightly-polished floors, like mirrors gleam, Reflect; the very depths-of souls are caught. The columned tiles go marching, eight abreast, Like plans, well made, so neatly formed and thought. The well worn steps! So gay while others frown. But still the answer's found in you, at last. The blind will see, the dumb will know, but wait! There's still a choice, a choice twixt Up or Down.

Macleod Gupederscn Class History It was on a beautiful September morning twelve years ago that the Union School opened its doors to a new crop of woe-begone first graders. After the first arduous day the new students became subdued, or at least resigned to their unhappy fate. The rest of the year passed quickly, as did the four relatively uneventful years following. During these years we not only learned what was in the books but also how to get along with our friends. The sixth grade is the year that stands out in the minds of most of us. During this year we made plans for our outing, and were looked up to by the under-classmen. This was also our last year at the Union School. When we reached the seventh grade we had many new problems to face such as lockers, lunch tickets, room numbers, traffic officers, and detention. We met and defeated these problems as they challenged us and passed into the eighth grade, Our last year of grammar school sped by, and we became ninth graders, or if you asked us, “FRESHMEN.” In the ninth grade we put on a very successful dance and variety show. Talent came from the school, and there were prizes for the winners. We also had our pictures taken for our ninth grade graduation during this eventful year. As Sophomores we had another dance and our treasury began to grow. The tenth grade passed all too quickly and we were soon busy Juniors plan- ning our Prom, picking out our class rings, and even studying, now and then. In spite of all these problems, the year flew by and we were cramming for our final exams, to prevent them from becoming too final. When we returned to school in September we found a great deal of work facing us. We discovered that we needed more money then we had, and devised different ways of raising it, uncovering a delicious fudge in the process. Since this was our final fling, we had our faces immortalized by the camera and graciously exchanged the amazing results, which you may see artistically arranged on the front pages of this yearbook. Graduation was a time of excitement and confusion in which were mixed caps and gowns, rehearsals, speeches, the Senior Reception, and future plans. Looking back, it seems impossible that twelve years could pass by so quickly and happily. We only hope that all the years to come will follow a similar pattern.

After Alaska and Hawaii united with this great union to make fifty states, insignificant Burlington, small but powerful, decided to confuse the whole affair by becoming state No. 51. We, J. Seminatore and F, Galipeau, being the right arm and left brain lobe to the newly elected president J. Matto, were sent forth to investigate this situation. As we boarded our plane the stewardess introduced us to none other than F. Dickey, the man who was to navigate our ship. An hour and a half later we arrived safely at the Burlington Airport, which was donated to Burling- ton by E. McKinnon, who at last had made her first million. We grabbed a taxi which took us to a magnificent hotel and who should be the proprietor of this great edifice, but O. Sheerin. Mr. Sheerin called the bellhop, whom we recognized, under his large hat as J. Olson, still taking orders. He showed us to our rooms, saw that we were comfortable, and left. The next morning while eating breakfast and checking a small book, called ‘Qualifications for Statehood’’ between bites, we saw quite a few regulations listed. The first one was to inspect an orphanage, so we started off. W:: reached the orphanage, plowed our way through a mass of wrangling children and proceeded to ring the door bell. The door was answered by Sister Superior, G. Pederson, followed by her assistant B. Johnson. We checked to find every thing in order, and then departed for the reformatory. Upon entering the yard in a dismal dust storm, we shifted our eyes to the Sth floor window where a mop was being vigorously propelled by N. Brogna. A guard led us to the office of the warden, a dignitary so obscured by cigar smoke that he could barely be recognized as G. Kozachuck. After a little security talk he handed us the keys to proceed at will. As we walked down the dark corridor we heard shrill screams coming from the end of the hall. Upon looking into the matter further we observed to our amazement P. LeFebvre cracking his whip over the back of J. Burrell, because she had not done her days work adequately. After pushing lifeless Janet aside, we continued our journey down the hall when suddenly our ears were assailed with evidence of an amazing vocabulary. The question seemed to revolve around some uneaten beans. Only P. Gentile could be too much in love to associate with lowly, unromantic beans and only P. Matto would bother to fight over the fact. They were put there in a vain attempt to cure them of just these habits which had permeated their lives. An insane laughter interrupted the disagreement and we turned around to stare into the face of E. Howard, better known as “The Claw,” getting his board and room free, for maliciously eliminating the poor unfortunate hog caller at the Burlington stock yards, S. MacKenzie, because he couldn't stand her constant shrilling cries any longer. After evaluating the reformatory we headed toward the world’s finest gym. As we entered, we were handed a large turkish towel by none other than E. Costello. We approached the sparring ring and found Irish Bob Murphy taking a round out of former heavy weight Rocky Marciano with his trainer vigorously coaching him from one corner of the ring. We looked more closely and decided to have a few words with manager, J. Surette. He told us he was doing this type of work to take up spare time, but he got a steady income from the boys at the R. S. C. Union (Retired Safe Crackers). Over in the opposite corner, whom did we seé training for her next match but L. Chambers. We jotted down these incidents in our little black book and departed, only to find a large circus directly across the street. Badly in need of a change, we dropped in. To our amazement we found this circus different from any we had ever had the pleasure of attending. Instead of taking a chance on sheer luck, you had a chance to test your skill against champions of the world in their respective fields. First and foremost you could win one left-handed pencil for beating the champion left-handed yo-yo’er , H. Eigabroadt. Opposite him we found C. Johnson talking like a high speed record player. If you could out-talk her, the prize for this feat was one jar of pickled pig’s feet. Having come far from victory, we moved toward the freak show where the loud voice of R. Pattison was bellowing “Get your hot tickets, folks. Only a quarter.” We stepped in and to our amazement found that C. MacLeod had exceeded the record of 400 lbs. The next performer made us choke for who was it but A. Bayliss chewing glass and razor blades. After seeing as much as we could take we headed toward the main tent and walked into the middle of B. Fay’s act of taming her vicious lions, controlling them with nothing but a ruler and a common pin. The middle ring was reserved for G. Wilkish’s Roman Riding horse act. J. Wentworth did her death defying trapeze act 600 feet in the air. After breaking our necks looking at her, we decided we'd had enough relaxation and returned to business affairs. We called upon the leading residents of Burlington, Mr. and Mrs. Harry (Davida Moss) MacLaughlin, who were running and operating MacLaughlin’s Manufacturing Co., a versatile plant which produced everything from thread to cheese. Our tour of i nspection led us next to track down tapping which was coming from the shop of W. Verville, who was gainfully employed putting the dents in golf balls. As we proceeded farther to the ‘Department of More Uses,’ we came upon J. Hurley stamping the stickers on each end of the spools of thread, and right beside him was J. Gerossie drilling holes in Swiss cheese. Finding everything up to par in this field, we heard through the grapevine that there was on 88th avenue an unlawful gambling house (called Bobby's Casino) being run by R. Rosson. Using our influence to get in, we were served our special moo-moo juice by W. Crawford, chief milker and keeper of the cows. Amidst the laughter and confusion was heard a voice announcing the first act of the floorshow. It was G. Seminatore and 8. Bamberg doing their famous dance routine. Between the act we bought a package of Old Paul cigarettes, sold by the cutie of the house, J. Bustead. Just as the second act was about to start we heard a loud cheer emerging from the crowd.. Standing in the doorway was G. Graham with bulging eyes and a beard to his knees. It seems he had been hibernating for 14 years budgeting on one dollar trying to make history as another Thoreau. Deciding we had better depart before we were found out, we paid our check and grabbed our hats from J. Swanson who through her life had advanced to a hat check girl. On our way home we rechecked the qualifications and came to the con- clusion that this place called Burlington had not developed enough to become a unified state. It was a sad and weighty conclusion but we had to make it for the good of humanity.

Skelton Our record this past season has been one that has drawn back the crowds to the Burlington High School football games. We owe the splendid results of our games to the coaches who have done everything but play the game for us. This past season has been as good as the 48 ’ season. Next year this rising Burlington High club will go all the way in football if it has half the spirit of the “52” team. The past season’s scores were: Burlington 13 Wilmington 0 Burlington 18 Liecester 0 Burlington 13 Tewksbury 19 Burlington 19 Westford 18 Burlington 7 Ayer 13 Burlington 6 Millis 13 Burlington 14 Hopkinton 0 Burlington 20 Somerville Vocational Z Baseball Row 2: Mr. Matarese, J.

Pedersen Soon the weather will break and with it will come baseball and a promis- ing team for Burlington High. Mr. Matarese and his assistant Mr. Roche will see to it that the 53 baseball team will either come out in victory or will give a wonderful show to the fans in Burlington. We can expect a potentially winning team in “53’’, so get out and cheer them on. If a team knows it has a crowd backing it, that team will play for the crowd. Boys’ Basketball Row 2: Mr. Matarese, K. Jay. A. Wilde, R. Wilde, R. Howard Row 1: P. Macione, J. Olson, J. Hurley, E. Howard, R. Crockett This year’s basketball team has been a build-up team for next year. Mr. Matarese’s efforts have been put to use in building a strong victorious team for next year. It doesn’t matter how many you win; it is how you win or lose them that counts. The team this year has won and lost, but it has lost fighting against bigger schools and stronger teams. Next season will bring out the efforts that our coaches have given to the team this year and we can expect a victorious Burlington High School basketball team.
