Sip rophecy In this year of our Lord, 1976, we decided to take a trip back to our old stamping grounds in a flying saucer to see our long lost classmates. Landing at Burlington International Airport, better known to most of us as the “sandpits’’, we hail a cab, only to find it operated by that ’’speed demon” Foley. Feeling that we must eat before visiting our native city and so looking about for a likely place to feed our faces we soon spot a sign which reads “Eat at Carli's Hangout,” which is famous for its french toast made by ‘’Chef’’ Cassi- dy. Upon entering, we are greeted by the cigarette girl, none other than’’To- bacco Tilley,” otherwise known as Barbara Cahalane. Looking around we spot the owner, John Carlson, who refers us to ‘Touring Tessie’ Hrinchuk. Then entering the kitchen, we find that happily married couple 'Coffee-grind- ing’ Given and Garbage-slinger’”’ Milan. Leaving the kitchen, we enter the back room finding Nancy Skelton giving baton lessons to ‘’Well-in-need-of ’ Johnson. Now we must hurry to the bus stop, where we get on the bus to the business section and spot our driver to be “‘flirtatious’’ Hoskins. Arriving at the big business section we spy a department store known as “Georgie’s Get-all. ”. When we enter, we find in a corner ‘‘Show-them” Skel- ton selling her knitting supplies and not too far away we see ‘‘Hopalong’”’ Moore selling her crutches. While wandering around, we find ‘‘Musical’’ Marshall demonstrating her ukulele and shouting, ‘Get your ukulele strings here!’’ De- ciding to take the elevator upstairs, we find ‘Snappy’’ Seminatore at the con- trol dressed in his Mickey Mouse uniform. At first, we are a little hesitant about getting in but decide to take a chance and ride to the second floor. There Sloo-foot'’ McLaughlin tries to sell us an Oriental rug with a bag of gourds as a premium. Returning downstairs, we decide to have a quiet visit at the Beauty Salon of Monsieur Merino. After our visit there, we take a trip to Wat- ertower Hill where we notice for the first time the splendid buildings of B.U. (Burlington University). Here we meet “Fudgie’’ Wood peddling fudgicle sticks. He tells us that a few more of our friends work at the university. We approach the conference room where we heard ‘‘Know-it-all’’ Howell, the girls advisor, giving advice to ‘’Better-watch-out” Harris, who is having trouble with her room-mate “'Figidy’’ Ferguson. She tells us that down in the cafeteria, Professor Morrison is giving an interesting lecture on ‘Easy Methods of Cheat- ing. On the way down the hill, we see a pet shop, in the window of which we see “Bunny” Brogna teaching her rabbits the correct way to twitch. Farther on we see a long line of people waiting to buy tickets from ‘’Burning” Blais for a tour through his Sodium and Potassium mines. First in line, are Judy Bennett and Dotty Goldman, two old maid school teachers on vacation from their duties.
