THE ENFIELD ECHO 23 In this class there is a pest Who never gives the girls a rest, But never mind, Arthur Meginn, They all adore your jolly grin. Here’s a tip to you, Frank Mercik, If you wish to succeed, Books will be of no avail If you don’t learn to speed. Edith Miller is so quiet You’d think she was asleep, But don’t forget that old, old saw Still waters ere run deep. Next comes “Bluebird” Niemic, A most flirtatious boy, To wink at girls in study time Is his consuming joy. And then comes brother Francis A quiet little lad, Who looks on little birdie’s tricks With mien severe and sad. Pascoe is a child quite young fin actions not in years). To act like a clown, is his de'ight And to wear ear-rings on his ears! Of girls, Jimmie’s awfully fond Especially—OLIVE MARIE. For on “Prospect Hill” in Warehouse Point, We find him frequently! When the bells are ringing midnight Ghosts and goblins are around, Retm-ning home from Flora’s house Charles Remington will be found. Now Mary Rowan’s so very quiet I almost let her pass, But surely we must all agree She’s the (angel?) of our class. Eleanor is verv modest; She hardly talks at all, But if you wish to see her lively, Just meet her in the hall. Gertrude is a prim lass Never had a beau; That’s what some folks tell us But I don’t know! Oh, Edna dear, you make me groan, To see you oft so prone, To drop your books and rush from home, Just because of “Bourque” alone. An attraction at the drug store, Smiles while you eat. The girls come by the score, Because “Stewie’s” smiles are sweet. As Helen Sullk sits there dreaming Like a person in a trance, I know that she’s just thinking Of our Senior Farewell Dance. Because her home’s not very far (The school’s right near her gate) We always wonder what it is, Makes Flo. Sullivan so late. Now here’s to our Teddy Sullivan An athlete of good cheer. Whenever he’s there to win, Enfield has naught to fear. Studious and smart is she She’s very hard to fuss. “Miss Thornes” is what the teachers say But we just call her “Gus”. Bill Thompson, you little unsophisti- cated child, You never used to break a rule, Nor even miss a day from school, But I hear you’re getting wild. Anna Willson’s the cutest little girl, She has a most winning way. And though she doesn’t like the boys, They all like her, they say. A maiden slim and very fair, WTith rosy cheeks and light brown hair, She can play as well as sing. Who else could it be but Marion Wing? For breaking rules so wilfully, For passing notes so skillfully, For looking at one so innocently, Helen Pawelcik is known. Jeanie is a farmer, she must get up at dawn, To drive the stubborn horsie in that’s eating Daddy’s corn; But the “DONKEY” like his mistress has a will that’s very strong And even Lizzie’s practiced coaxing doesn’t hurry him along. Perhaps these sound sarcastic, They were written merely in fun, In case you have been offended, Forgive us for what we have done.

22 THE ENFIELD ECHO Miss Glazier’s very pleasant With smiles she does abound, But when she drops her pen we hear Her always say “confound”. Gourlie’s very smart, very good at bluff, In fact he’s good at everything and that is quite enough; But as he is class president, he needs special mention And after he has curled his hair, the girls receive attention. I know a lassie, a pretty blue-eyed laSgje With hair that is the color of pure gold. She’s as smart as they make ’em, Miss Hamel is a peach, And we love her one and all a hun- dred-fold. Winfield Hawkes is a dapper lad City born and bred He always has an answer To everything that’s said. He’s very fond of telling Of the places he has been And we’d all be raising pop-corn If we’d but follow him! Hayden’s very talkative, He’s very seldom quiet. Through his amazing gift of speech He could easily raise a riot. But he always has the facts And his sound, good business sense Has helped us more than once Out of tangles rather dense. A quiet lass is Marg’ret She seldom says a word, But if she never talks Then how is she always “Hird”? Another quiet lass is Martha Never whispers, seldom talks, If you wish to get thin, watch her And like her take long, long walks. In this class there is a girlie Who dearly wishes that her hair was curly, And to make her dream come true just right Milly wears curlers every night. Norton does his lessons well Every single day When he’s called upon in class He answers without delay. Liberty’s a precocious lad He’s always good and never bad. In Latin they say he’s awfully bright, In French class too he’s out of sight, And behold his fame in history A toast to “Adams and Liberty.” Now I’ve done my share of this I think I will retire And let Liberty amuse you With some of his satire. Part 2—By James H. Liberty Now that was Evelyn Chillson, Not backward, as you see, About putting herself forward. How noisy she can be! Now little girls should ere be seen, Not heard says our Miss Gay, But Evelyn believes the opposite. And grows noisier every day. Of cereals there are many Of good ones there are few. If you ever wish for cornflakes Try “Kellog’s”; they’ll surely do. Roy Landry is a precious boy; Perfect speech to him’s a joy, My, he’s smart and nice to all, But terribly bashful at a ball. Now Ethel Lavigne So calm and serene, Is never heard, Though often seen. I have decided Della Leroux To give some good advice to you, For you don’t seem to know it's a crime, To have three or four beaux at one time. A little girl with a telephone Is Annastacia Libby. And every night from eight till nine The line is awfully busy. Oh, Flora Mason, we all know, That it’s only in school your voice is low. For we have often heard you shriek When prancing down our great main street.
