It touches all living things and in the process it creates and models above and beyond man’s understanding. Time, the essence of life itself, is the stern and exacting moderator. Time leads us on into the years, shaping our bodies and our thoughts, moulding our being into one eventual entity. The hope and the ambition which burns in the heart of each of us is the expression of life itself. The impatience and anxiety which we often éxperience is the manifestation of time. So we come to the final and full blending of these mystic cycles. The hour when we step forth through. the doors of this school and prepare our lives for the future that lies ahead. For.some it may mean additional schooling and preparation and for others a job in the world of people. But whatever the road we travel, our role is now one of self-reliance and honorable endeavor. We stand on our own two feet and walk on our own two legs. At times we shall surely think back to the pleasant moments spent here together preparing ourselves for other things. Thinking of this school, of our comradeship, of work accomplished and approved, will make us better people for it and better citizens. As we go forth together, let us be forever determined to do credit to ourselves, to our home, to our community, and to our country. JAMES M. HORTON TO THE CLASS OF 1954: In the years to come this yearbook will serve as a reminder of the joyous days which were a part of your youth. These days have been the important ones in causing you to grow into adulthood. The lesson which you have learned will be used by you in all that you accomplish henceforth. I extend to you my best wishes and I hope that you will be successful in whatever you set out to do. James M.

CeZZ Go Acknowledgment To Mr. John Fogelberg we wish to express our thanks for the guiding and helpful hand which made the completion of the Arrowhead possible. Opportunity (s OUTS, Cf have hut to take it. a 4 =i Seniors Class History It was a chilly morning in September when we, the class of ‘54, entered the Union School for the first time. Everyone around was strange, but we gradually became acquainted and learned to make new and dear friends. There was always work but with some fun too, and we all agreed that those first six years were the best. Do you remember: Miss Blanchard walking around the school yard with her pet yardstick, keeping us in line and making us behave ourselves; waiting for school buses on those cold and wet mornings; lunches in the Union School cafeteria; Miss Blanchard’s monitors, Eileen and Roger; the pebbles in Miss Brady's room ? ? ? When the time came for us to go on to Junior High School we had more new experiences; like the first time we tried to open our lockers. At the end of the first year in Junior High we went on our first and most eventful trip to Canobie Lake. Remember when we saw Miss Chiesa and Mrs. Hutchings riding the Whip together; and when Peggy Hurley, Pat Cooney, and Shirley Skelton came out of the swimming pool and then went up on the roller coaster? Wouldn't you guess, they came down frozen? Another year and newer and more exciting experience such as the day the girls cooking class made those “Oh so flat popovers.’’ One of the girls in cooking class put the batter in the dishes and set them in the oven. She didn‘i lower the shelf in the oven because she never realized how high they popped. The rest is as good as solved. During those Junior High days we acquired the name of “Little Gophers” which was pinned on us by Mrs. Hutchings. Now it came, the ninth grade, the biggest change of life we had ever made in all our twelve years. First it was confusing but then we realized that we held the key to our future in our hands and the door was there for us to open. We unlocked that door, saw the meaning behind it, and settled down right away. The tenth grade was harder but, with the previous training, we did better at getting settled. This was the year we found the reward that goes with hard work. We were able to participate in sports and run our own dances. Several of the boys in our class went out for football and have played every year since. To this team goes the credit of creating a new spirit in the student body and in the townspeople for school activities which in previous years had been lacking. The eleventh grade. turned out to be a wonderful year, with its class rings, and its Junior Prom. This last year has been the best of all twelve years; despite the extra work we have had a lot of fun. Now that the time has come for us to shut the first door of life behind us and step into another era, we fervently hope that.all will be pleasant and successful there.

Class Song Verse I Now we leave our school days past. Ready for our future tasks, and with God's hand as our guiding light, we shall well succeed. Refrain: Burlington, our Burlington We shall always love you; And we'll never forget you All through the coming years. Verse II We had work and we had play, but we looked forward to every day that we spent in B..H. S. year after year after year. Verse II Good bye past, Hello future, I hope that we shall be friends. Now we are ready to leave you. Goodbye school, goodbye. The End. Shirley Skelton Class Poem Our days at school have come and gone We think of all the friendships made And face life ahead with the thought That we will never be alone For if we put our faith in God He will guide us on life’s way And we shall have the strength we need To do the tasks that come each day We are living in an age Full of promise that we may Look forward bravely to the future And success will surely come our way Eileen Gentile Class Prophecy 1974, twenty years hence. News has spread to the far corners of the earth that the wild forty-four members of the class of ‘54’’ are coming from here, there, and everywhere to attend an assembly, an assembly to be held in the great metropolis of Burlington. Looking over the news bulletins since the announcement was made, we are able to follow the travels of each member. Coach Al Wilde, who has pulled his team through thick and thin for the past twenty years, the thick being the cigarette smoke in the boy’s room and the thin being their marks, is discussing the coming assembly with Superintendent Sumner Rupprecht. Mr. Rupprecht has just won an argument with School Committee President, Shirley Skelton, over the shortage of white composition paper. In the art world the battle of the colors has stopped momentarily between Carl Johnson and Ora Davis. They are both on their way to the assembly from Paris. Bill Fontaine, who is said to be selling rum up and down the coast from Florida to Boston, is coming from his hiding place in the swamps of the Florida Everglades to Burlington, where Neil Foster, his accomplice, has been: selling his merchandise at a high price. A bulletin from Egypt tells us that Maharajah John Berlandi has refused to pay a travelling tax on his harem of one hundred dancing girls. In Detroit, Michigan we find that fifty-one percent of all General Motors stock has been turned over to those three automobile tycoons, “Big Jim” Sweeney and the “Money Bag Brothers,” Norman and Carl Christiansen. It is said they plan to arrive in separate chauffeur-driven Cadillacs. Prime Minister Erich Nitzche of Great Britain, while in London discussing affairs-of-state and the coming assembly with his chief cook and bottle-washer, Lester Enos, suggested using the battleship ‘Invincible’ with several destroyers as escorts for the forthcoming Atlantic crossing. A picture taken in New York and appearing in “Life” shows playboy Lester McGinnis lighting a cigar with a ten dollar bill. No doubt. In New York also, at the “No Second Chance Theater,’ the main attraction of the evening is the ‘Bobbsie Twins,” Dick Howard and Dick Wilde. They are currently going through their latest dance steps, an act called ‘Dig Those Sloppy Feet’ or “Your Shoelace is Dragging.” In the wings the next act waiting to go on is none other than ‘Fe Fe” Fay Collins and ‘“Mitchy”’ Arletta Mitchell who will sing ‘Burlington, My Burlington” or “Don't Send Me Back to Prison Again.” Their supporting cast consists of one guitar player named Phylis Fowler, one pianist named Joan Taylor, and one half base fiddler named “Little Jim’ Taylor. Around the corner from the “No Second Chance” in the local precinct station (the law enforcement department) we find Sergeant “Friday” Walter Bennett who has been hurling the big question at a frightened witness, Pat Ekwall, for several days now, “Just want the facts ma’am, just the facts.” He is usually followed by his partner-in-law, Kenny Jay, who says, “That's all, just the facts.” In the news of the educational field once again we find the story of the absent-minded professor. This time it was Alan Johnson who kissed the dog goodnight and put his wife out until morning. Also we see that Miss Eileen Gentile, now a teacher, is holding night classes at the Lexington Street School for hard-struggling, underprivileged Juniors. Inventor Lennie Bunton tried to explain to the Annual Conclave of Great World Scientists that he did not invent color television; he just spilled all the colors of the rainbow on his tools at the time. Miss Joan Biagiotti has risen to fame recently in the musical world with her latest torch song called, “I'll Like to Get You on a Slow Jet Around the World.” This song was written by Betty Cook who is also famous for “It's a Long Walk Home” and “Why Didn‘t You Buy a Spare Tire?” At the assembly will be Italy’s famous writer, author and lecturer, Louis J. Govoni, Jr., who is noted for his adventure stories “Hit ‘Em Quick and Hard” and “How to Kill Pigs in Ten Easy Lessons.” In a recent issue of ‘Fantasy Magazine” the featured article informed us that our leading explorers, Russell Petersen, Bill Johnson and “Bud” Larson, were frantically, feverishly, and fearfully making their way out of darkest Africa closely pursued by a fierce group who want to boil them for dinner. At latest report the race was close. The ‘Burlington School of the Dance” is represented on Broadway this season by several of its star members, among whom are Mary Ann Brundige and Pat Cooney, in the ballet “The Dark Bird” by Joan Cassidy. The leading part is danced by Stewart Crockett who has added something new. He sings. It is anticipated that the assembly will be entertained by that great French company, “Carol LeBlanc and her Dancing Five.’ They are Marjorie Pattison, Richard Schwab, Barbara Wyer, Jackie Ramsdell, and last but not least, that light-footed, light-fingered Jimmy Michaud who also tickles the ivories in such a delightful manner. And I, J. A. K. “Joy Always” Kelly, being Secretary of Defense for the Commonwealth, do hereby delegate the Ancient and Honorable Unit of the State Militia to keep order.

We were able to place one member on the All-Suburban first team, three members on the second team and several mem- bers received Honorable Mention. Although there are thirteen Varsity-men leaving, seven of which are regulars; the 1954 team with a little hard work could develop into a great eleven.
