THE ENFIELD ECHO 15 intermission passed even more rapidly than the previous intermis- sions. A great, dazzling white light flooded the room before us dis- closing hundreds of treasures of knowledge. Many found the en- trance to the laboratory and there proved to themselves many won- derful truths and performed many experiments.

(Continued on Wage 46) PROPHECY By Timothy Sullivan, Roy Landry, Mildred Horton, Anna Willson. Ted—Miss Horton, please take this editorial I will dictate to you. Friday, Enfield celebrates the tenth anniversary of the adop- tion of the Representative form of town government. It should be with a feeling of pride that the citizens of Enfield gaze at the work which has been accomplished. Our business section, with Main Street straightened, is one of the finest in the state. Also, the town itself is lighted by a real white way system. With the finances in good condition and the debt decreasing rapidly, Enfield, with her 35,000 population, has just cause to feel proud. We have progressed but have not yet attained the greatest height, for more work lies before us. With the Connecticut River navigable in our section, great accomplishments are possible. Looking back to our accomplishments for inspirations, we resolutely set our faces towards the heights of the success which Enfield will attain in the near future. That finished the editorials.

Some time ago she was called to England on business and shortly afterward, it was heard that she had married the Count of Edinborough. Mr. Francis Niemiec of this city will leave for the west soon to assist Miss Evelyn Chillson in running her famous cattle farm. She is known throughout the west as “The Cattle Queen.” Mr. Norton Hunter, the French professor at Enfield High School, has recently been appointed official interpreter at a con-
