Class Motto Tlo One Knows What He Can Do Until He Suries Class Poem Our school days now are left behind, Fond memories still remain; We ne er shall break the ties that bind And help us play life’s game. The fun we've had and friends we've made Now send us on our way To carry out the plans we've laid For after Graduation Day. We've reached a crossroads in our lives, Decisions all must make. Many have chosen from different guides, But God shall choose our fate. Harold Veinot

Class Prophecy Joanne Carbone’s Column Tomahawk Valley Peacepipe Society Special The 15th class reunion of the class of ‘55, Burlington High, took place yes- terday at ‘Murphy's Spaghetti Palace,” which is owned and operated by the Honorable Paul Murphy. The first item of interest to the class was the elevator in the lobby which took them to the basement where they found in the kitchen chief cook and bottle washer, Harold Veinot. (He has received his instruction at the “Monsieur Dickey School of Delicacies” in Paris.) The dining room was decorated in a rather unusual manner giving the room a very pleasant atmosphere. The walls were painted in razzle dazzle red with skeleton ballerinas fluttering about them. All the decorating had been de- signed and supervised by that distinguished interior decorator Ronald Mac- Donald. One corner of the room was occupied by Miss Joan Wood, a leading con- tender for headlines on the Society Page, who had as he r guests.the Army and Navy. (It looked as though not just Johnny, but the boys had come marching home.) The well know vegetarian Miss “Bones” Simpson ordered nothing but a huge bowl of vegetables. She has just published a book titled ‘’This is Living,” or ‘Give Me Grass.” The entertainment for the evening was in the capable hands of Mr. “Jim- my’ Boyd, Master of Ceremonies, who opened the entertainment with a cordial welcome from the Governor of the Commonwealth, and a few fond remem- brances (such as the time Mr. Roche first appeared before the class wearing glasses, and the time that Mr. Mohan d idn't appreciate the singing voices of the Seniors in Problems Class.). One of the big attractions of the evening was the Spaghetti Palaces’s big brass band (which is indeed a credit to Murphy's.) The quintet was under the able direction of Mrs. Dorothy (Mitchell) MacNoodle. The flute player was Nancy Buckman, (always one note behind), the piccolo was ably picked by Bill Aaers, (always one note ahead), roaring like a big wind with the trombone was Joan Gelineau, (always one note too high), and the saxaphone tock a beating from Judy Wilde, (always one note too low). Dorothy was late because she forgot her tuxedo, but made the grand entrance a-la ‘‘Hopalong Cassidy.” Several of the numbers played were ‘Down cn the Farm”, ‘Oh My Lumbago”, and ‘’Get That Extra Point’, whose composer John Morgan Esquire, sat at the head table. Another big event of the evening was a performance by ‘’Macione The Magician and his little gophers. (They did the “Mumbo” in unison.) That once ‘real gone” quartet consisting of the “Hep Cats’, John Graham, George Jones, David Gelineau, and Frank Woods, after much unecessary coax- ing by the audience sang a composition of their own called ‘Diner, Diner,
