Class Song Verse One Now the day has come When we leave our friends so dear; We start on life’s high-road; Parting time is here. Now we know it's time to go, Our hearts have deep regret; The students we have learned to know, Our friends, we'll ne’er forget. Chorus Farewell, Burlington High School. Our days with you have gone. We leave and say goodbye; Memories linger on. Verse Two With our friends to help us To find the road that's right, And with our God to guide us We will part tonight. The final hour is upon us; We part with saddened mein; This hall, these rooms have given us The will to play life's game. Joyce Miller

Diner.’ (The performance put the audi ence under a gripping spell.) That ‘Cuban Cutie’, Joyce Miller lead the Conga Line with ‘Havana Har- vey’ (Jean) right behind her. This engaging pair is now in competition with “Carmen Miranda” for top spct honors on that new color television program over station B. H. 8. During the evening’s fun a message was received by First Class Carrier Pigeon stating that the Miss Dorothy Hogan could not attend because her con- tract required that she finish her latest movie in Siberia, called ‘Alone.’ Among the celebrities sitting in last night were President and Mrs. Chester McLaughlin of the University of Sandstone in Burlington. Sitting at a ringside table was that “always in the news debutante”, Frances Harvey, who was crowned queen of Silent County in Wyoming. That famous ballerina, Miss Constance Colvin, appeared with her lady-in-waiting, Jane Brown who is also a lady wrestler in Boston Gardens in her spare time. Sitting at a ringside table right under the spotlight was Miss Mabel Colley, a vivacious naturalist (collector of rare species, MEN). Also at the head table, dressed in the full dress uniform of a commander in the French Foreign Legion, sat Lieutenant-General Ronald Crockett with several orderlies. One held his hat and ancther one held his sword. An unexpected catastrophe arose at Murphy’s just about an hour before closing time when the PALACE was raided. The man in charge of the ‘’Snop- per Squad” was Captain Arthur Snelley, who recently received a promotion after serving 15 years walking the beat. Assisting the Captain was Sergeant Ann MacDonald, head of the ‘“Bunco Squad”, (who appeared on the scene well prepared for disaster and ccrrying her usual equipment, one rolling pin and a water pistol.) This morning the class appeared before Judge Joan Merriam in her court, where attorney for the defense, Joan Collins, asked that the case be given im- mediate attention because her chief witness, Gerry Lynch, was leaving the country soon at the request of the Governor cf Burlington, Miss Ernestine Simp- son, because she had been detected taking peanuts from the pigeons in the Dark, Ora Davis and Barbara Reed were appearing for the defense but they re- fused to answer on the grounds that it might incriminate them for they had bor- rowed some roses from the judge's garden and were selling them in front of Murphy's. Their secret partner Richard Gamester deserted the girls when they needed him most. Much to the suprise of all, everyone was released and given his freedom. All the members of the class of 55 returned hcme to their mansions in Holly- wood.
