20 THE ENFIELD ECHO Anna—Oh Mercy! There are some articles we’ve forgotten, (reading from the paper) Anna—Della Leroux has become a great woman suffrage leader. She is now touring the continent making stirring political speeches. Marion Wing, the greatest woman flyer in the country, is going to make her initial flight around the world soon. Florence Brainard, who has become quite an accomplished singer, gave a very enjoyable concert last night in the Auditorium. She sang her latest song, “Jimmie, I Love You,” of her own compo- sition. This caused each Jimmie in the audience to wonder whether he was the lucky one. Ted—Well, it’s most closing time. Anna—Yes and I’ve got to go see Beulah’s latest hit at Hart- ford. All—Beulah’s hit? Anna—Yes! Haven’t you heard about Beulah? She is leading lady in Ziegfield’s latest musical comedy “Boo-La-Boo” and it’s at Parson’s tonight. Beulah has made some hit!! All—Well, who would ever have thought that of Beulah! Anna—Yes! And she has become the quintessence of the superb appeal to the eye with Ziegfield. Oh! And I’ve an idea. Though I have my ticket I think we might get three more tickets somewhere. What do you say if we all ride down to Hartford, get a nice dinner, then go to see Beulah! All—Great! Let’s Go!!

THE ENFIELD ECHO 19 (Landry enters) Landry—Gee! I just got stuck for a dollar down on the corner —who do you think I saw ? Frank Combs! Ted—You don’t mean it. What’s he doing for a living now? Landry—Listen to this! “A Drink for Every Purpose.” Whatever may ail you, I can cure you by my latest discoveries. LIGHTNING COMBS! Anna—And here’s an addition to that. Madame Curtis, successor to Madame Curie, co-discoverer of ra- dium, has just arrived from France. Madame Curtis being a native of Enfield has consented to come here and demonstrate her won- derful discovery, namely, that by applying radium to the head, dull minds of small children may immediately become bright. She felt that her native town would furnish many subjects for ex- periment. Ted—Yes and really—Great Guns! We ’most forgot the Sporting Page! Anna—I have just the stuff here! (Hands paper to Ted and he reads) Ted—(Reading)—Ethel Lavigne, a former resident of this city, was given a hearty welcome yesterday while she was passing on her cross country hike. Ethel says she has been hiking on and off for five years and has won several medals. Helen Sulik has organized a track team for Enfield’s athletic women. They are becoming quite famous and Helen is especially noted for unsurpassed speed in running.

Ted—What are they? Landry— (Reading) — HAIR DRESSING 1050 Main St. Misses Eleanor Moody Edith Miller. Order your copy of the New York Parisien Vogue now!

THE ENFIELD ECHO 21 CLASS Part 1—By Evelyn Chillson As this class of brilliant seniors in this year of ’22 Leaves the well-beloved halls of En- field High We’ve been assigned the duty and we’ll tell it to you true To list the faults and failings as they pro by. These jingles are too poor we know for such a wondrous class But as we did the best we could, we hope you’ll let them pass. First in line of our fine class Stands Olive A., the wise, She’s smart as well as full of fun And oh—can’t she make eyes! Now Fannie Bent’s a quiet lass In school she seems so mild. But they say outside of here That she is almost “wild.” Florence Brainard too is smart. She always looks “just-so” And though she never hurries She’s not so very slow. Why Grace, my dear, what’s this I hear? There are rumors going round That you and Flanders, like a goose and a gander Watched the moon go down! With a scornful look of her big dark eyes The high-school boys, she spurns They all have heart-burn after that For Edna surely “Burns”. “Peanut” is a little vamp; She likes the men quite tall, For more than once she has been seen Vamping Crombie in the hall! She longs to be an Indian, Looks somewhat like one too, Has long black hair and sparkling eyes That look you through and through Always pleasant with one and all She’s never lost her head. Eleanor Chillson is her name, But we call her just “Ted”. Herbert Clark is much too quiet; jingle: He scarcely makes a sound. I wonder if he acts that way All the whole day round? There’s a fellow in this class Who can bluff, bluff, bluff, “What’s the use of studying When you know enough, ’nough, ’nough?” He’ll have that reputation No matter where he roams He’s the shining light of Somers town, Who else but Franklin Combs? Phil Connor and his charming looks Deserve our special mention, For he and his Oakland car Pay the girls a lot of attention. They think that Corbin’s quiet They call him “Angel-child”. But out in a place called Hazardville They say he’s not so mild. Creelman’s rather quiet We don’t know much about him, But when outside of school, they say He has more pep and vim. Crombie’s very tall and strong, Can easily do his part, And I’ll tell the world, it’ll take some girl To melt his “icy” heart. Marjorie studies hard all day And probably half the night. To fuss in the Lab with chemical things Is always her chief delight. Not too large, not too small, Awfully jolly, liked by all. Her friendliness will win her fame Why yes! Mae Desso is her name. Miss Ellis in our class Is very far from least Since bright people live in Somers She’s our “Star of the East”. The commonest saying heard each day When we to French class come Is Miss Potter with the waste-basket Saying “Ferguson, your gum!” “Dodge” may be a dodger, But you can hear him in a crowd. He’ll never dodge the teachers, For he whispers right out loud!
