JUNE 1923 NO. 6 President’s Address By Frank Spellman, Jr. Friends: The class of 1923 has entered upon its commencement week. The activities of this week will be inaugurated this evening by the presentation of the customary class night program. It is my pleasant duty to welcome you to these exercises. As president of the senior class, I wish to express my gratification for the interest taken in us, and in the school, as evidenced by the at- tendance of such a large number of teachers, parents, undergrad- uates and friends. We have done our utmost to provide an entertaining program and we hope that it will please you. The class of “twenty-three” extends to everyone a hearty and sincere welcome. Class History By Helen Dorothy Daly When we think of history we are reminded at once of our own history studies when, led by the guiding hand of Mr. Davis, we were introduced to Mr. H. G. Wells well-known “Outline of History.” I am going to borrow his method in a small way. It is not necessary for me to go back to the Paleolithic age, for I have only to deal with history as it affects the evolution of the class of 1923. As freshmen we may be said to have belonged to the Paleozoic age, for as helpless fish in the sea we were ordered about by those lordly sea monsters, the seniors. In fact we scarcely dared show our heads in those waters reserved especially for the seniors, the top floor. THE ENFIELD ECHO 11 In this early stage the following events were most important in our evolution as a class: We entered Enfield High School on September 15, 1919, with a class numbering 122. Mr. Bryant was our principal; Mr. Bowman, our superintend- ent. One of the first delightful experiences of our freshman year was a hike during which we became well acquainted with our prin- cipal and teachers. We informally enjoyed “hot-dogs,” and all the other accompaniments of an out-of-door picnic. The Senior Promenade occurred in the Casino, December 23. The Junior Promenade and “Pinafore” very delightfully pre- sented, brought the year to a close. Thus we progressed from the Invertebrate to the Vertebrate stage of our evolution as a class. We might be said to have ac- quired a “backbone.” We no longer shrank in terror from a pass- ing senior. The terrestrial regions of the top floor were familiar places of abode. As sophomores we proudly held our first class meeting and elected Frank Spellman, president; Genevieve Delaney, vice-presi- dent ; and Charles Merrill, secretary and treasurer. The year brought back to our high school our beloved principal, Mr. Parkman, who revived our debating society, which had been discontinued during his absence in France. In February, the high school presented “Captain Kidd, Jr.” and a number of classmates took part. Miss Gay returned as Latin teacher during this year (our evolution “speeded up” at this point). The year was most important from an athletic point of view too, for our triangular track meet with South Manchester and Bris- tol was held in South Manchester, in June. An enthusiastic crowd of rooters accompanied our team to South Manchester via a special trolley car. As is true in evolution only the strongest can survive—our junior year found only 69 members left. However, Hannah French soon joined our class. Before our superintendent of schools, Mr. Bowman, left us to go to North Adams, Massachusetts we tendered him a farewell dance. His successor, Mr. Handy, was present on this occasion, and has since then gained our most sincere respect and regard. Next we heard every day in the corridor, “What are you going to wear? Who’s going to take you ?” “To what ?” you ask. “Our Junior Prom, of course.” This supreme event was a great success both socially and financially. The last and one of the most delightful events of every year at “Enfield” is a picnic at Riverside. In our junior year, this picnic 12 THE ENFIELD ECHO was held as usual. The advanced stage of our evolution may be proved by the fact that we did not have to go home until ten o’clock, while the freshmen, poor innocents, had to leave at the extremely early hour of six. During the summer vacation we were unfortunate in losing one of our most active members. When we came back we were dis- appointed to find that D’ Agustino, better known as “Cupid,” had moved. Those who saw him lead our cheers at South Manchester can- not doubt that the few defeats we have suffered this year were due to the lack of his inspiring presence. Senior Year! What height of development we have attained! Far behind us, the Invertebrate stage of our evolution—we have now evolved the ability to think. WITNESS OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS: A masquerade, two glorious proms, and a play entitled, “ONLY 38.” Our debating society nroduced two lawyers, Jandreau and Bent, who showed their skill in a mock trial given in room 1. As a fitting close to our studies we visited the caoitol at Hart- ford, the legislature and the county court house, in order to observe the practical application of our government. It is interesting to note that on this trip we were the first Enfield class to shake hands with a governor’s wife. The mere study of history is ol little value in itself unless it is a definite help for the future. Through a study of the past events of the Enfield High School we should be inspired to support our high school in the future, and to remain her loyal champions in the Alumni Association. Class Prophecy By Marie Fleming, Stephen Bridge, Hannah French, George Rich. I guess I’ll try to get Hartford station, W. D. A. K. (Picks up receiver and listens). Well, I’ve got it. (Hears)—“Next Tuesday evening, June 26, 1943, a very in- teresting speech will be given in the City Hall, this city, by Miss Edith Allen, a resident of Scantic, Connecticut and a graduate of Enfield High School, in the class of 1923. Miss Allen has studied nature for the past two years and has specialized on the onrans of the mouth. Her lecture will be, ‘The Amazing Wonders of the Hu- man Tongue.’ ” Well! Isn’t that interesting? I always knew Edith would be a lecturer or a literary genius. But what’s this ? “Pavlowa’s rival, Climene Casinghino, will be seen at Par- THE ENFIELD ECHO 13 sons’ Theatre all next week in her own original dances. She is both graceful and clever and a full house is assured.” Climene, of all people! I never dreamed of her dancing on the stage. (Listens again. Market News.) “The farmer, who believes in buying chickens already hatched, can buy all breeds, at the chicken hatchery in West Hartford, belonging to Miss Sarah Billings, for- merly of Somers, Connecticut. Miss Billings is very successful along this line. As most farmers realize the value of her chickens, she finds a ready market for them.” I wonder what’s the matter! I can’t hear anything else. (After a pause) “This is New York City Station W. E. A- F. Mr.Warren J. Bent, known as the ‘Man with the Most Extensive Vo- cabulary in the World,’ recently wrote a novel, ‘Bent on the South Bend.’ He would probably have risen to fame if it were not for the fact that the majority of readers had to look up in the dictionary the meaning of every other word.” Warren, when I knew him, was al- ways rather flowery in his speaking. “Miss Mary Browne sailed for Paris yesterday as a represen- tative of the leading hair dressing parlors of the country. Miss Browne, while there, will study the newest and most fashionable methods of hair dressing. On her return, at a meeting of hair dressers in New York City, she will illustrate in person the differ- ent styles of plain and fancy dressing. Mary’s knack of hair dressing has been brought to the notice of the public at last. “Attention Public! A full house is expected each evening dur- ing the first week of June at the Hippodrome, when Miss Lucille Becker will perform some of the most graceful acrobatic feats that the world has ever seen. Everyone should endeavor to vitness the daring stunts, which she will attempt. “Metropolitan Opera House—Mr. Edward Bromage, the noted tenor in selections from ‘111 Trovatore’ by Verdi.” (Listens for a while) Ted certainly can sing! He always had a remarkable voice. But who would think that he could ever be such a noteworthy person ? “Miss Lois Bridge, the world famous actress, has sacrificed her career and refused a contract with Flo Zeigfield Follies for the sake of a handsome young missionary. She and her husband will sail the first of September for the West Indies where she will assist him with his work.” Lois always was sort of romantic. Isn’t love grand! “The artists of Woodbury’s Facial Soap Company are just com- pleting the most attractive poster that the company has ever dis- played. As Miss Mildred Brown has been posing for it, the com- pany believes it will truly represent, ‘A Skin You Love to Touch.’ ” “Miss Helen Daly has just finished a most complete outline of 14 THE ENFIELD ECHO history. Many State Boards of Education think that it even out- rivals that of H. G. Wells and are going to endeavor to have it as the standard for the schools of the country. Helen was born a historian. She never had a poor recitation in that subject when I went to school with her. I don’t seem to hear very much now. Why, here is Springfield, W. B. Z. “Professor Peter Aloysius Crombie, Jr., arrived in this city yesterday from California State University. He has been teaching mechanical drawing there and recently took up the work of collect- ing specimens of complicated machinery for the use of the scholars. He remembered an old Ford touring car that he used during his high school days back in 1923 and has journeyed here to examine it. He says that it is a good specimen and will be of untold value to the college men in his classes.” Pete’s Ford! Do I remember it? Well, I guess I do! Football or basketball, Pete was there with that rickety “Ford.” “Stephen Bridge, Springfield, noted radio operator who has spent all his inheritance from a rich uncle on radio apparatus, is financially embarrassed and is suffering misery in the Springfield Hospital as the result of a disease, known as the ‘radio bug.’ ” Poor Stephen! he had radio here, radio there, and radio every- where. “Miss Florence Cormier, Thompsonville’s comedy actress, is coming to Court Square Theatre all next week in a musical comedy, ‘Those Green Eyes.’ This play is coming direct from Broadway and is the hit of the season. “Professor Cardone will presently be heard speaking in the auditorium on ‘A New Discovery in Chemistry.’ (Listens to speech) ‘This information will be invaluable to all persons subject to lazi- ness, Lazyno, a new element, has been discovered in my research laboratory....................’ ” Will wonders never cease! Can it possibly be that there is a ready cure for laziness! After a time taking up the receiver again the manager of the Chicago Grand Theatre was heard announcing that a play was to be given June 30 by the famous actor and actress, Gabriel Pare and Katharine Wells. Not being able to hear the announcement of the rest of the program, I finally picked up station K. D. K. A., Pittsburg. It was broadcasting a speech by the famous scientific farmer, Frank Spellman on, “How to Utilize Farm Land to the Best Advantage and to Get the Most Crops per Acre without Expense.” It was a forceful speech and everyone will be pleased to get this important informa- tion. As I listen another speech is being given and it is from New York station by advertising manager, George Rich of the New York Herald and Washington dirigible route, which is one of the largest THE ENFIELD ECHO 15 routes in the country. He is speaking on, “Economy in Advertising as I Learned It Years Ago in High School Salesmanship Class. George was always business-like when he was in school. His voice soon faded away and I could then hear very faintly my old schoolmate, Alton Nash speaking to me. He says he has found a metal lighter and cheaper than aluminum, which will revo- lutionize the metal industry. He has heard that Ruth Sinton is still single and teaching school in the old home town of Somers, Connecticut and that Mary Nash, who always has her hair arranged in the latest style is successfully conducting a hair dressing parlor. (Pauses) The static then drowned every sound but when it cleared, I could hear a violin solo being played by Florence Thornes. She is playing for the radio company. Why! I am just informed that she has refused several brilliant offers in marriage and finally has settled down and living in Chicago after a long musical career in which she started in the capitals of Europe. Also that President Hoover has appointed Miss Katherine Shaughnessy as his private secretary. In 1923 she never sat still long enough to be found. (Picking up Springfield Station.) Miss Eleanor Niemiec and Miss Florence Rowan, the expert stenographers, are taking dictation in the municipal department. (Listening) Oh! How romantic! Miss Vera Terwilliger is on her honeymoon in Europe. When she arrives in New York, she is expected to rule her house in her calm way. Allyn Prior gave a speech last Friday on “How to Remove Freckles with My Newly Discovered Freckle Remover.” If we had only known of this in the year 1923! Gertrude Stafford is employed by a millinery company as a saleslady. She now has a chance to use her powers of talking at last. I am sure there will be many sales. M iss Hannah French would you like to hear about the circus ? (After a pause.) An announcement from W. B. Z. “Barnum and Bailey’s circus has two brand new attractions. Mme. Azelle Chasser alias Hazel Hunt of Enfield High School, Class of 1923, is the most famous tight-rope walker in the world, while another very famous personage, Graydon Keery of the same school and class is the most daring bare-back rider ever known. The manager states that he does not know how his circus was ever called complete with- out them. The circus will appear in Springfield tomorrow. Don’t miss it!” (Listening to Foreign News.) “Mr. Ralph Jandreau of the well-known Enfield High School of Thompsonville has been recalled from France where he recently acted as U. S. Ambassador, because of his inability to express himself in simple enough English for the French to understand.” “Attention, Public! ! Miss Gladys Kellogg, famous painter, is 16 THE ENFIELD ECHO holding an auction during this week, of her pictures. No bids under ten thousand to be considered. Get busy, if you plan to take ad- vantage of this wonderful opportunity!” Mile. Josephine Lanza now occupies the center of the operatic stage. She has shown signs of remarkable talent ever since her youth. Her voice has such emotional qualities as to be able to move anyone or anything. In a recent concert in Chicago everyone in her audience was moved either to tears or laughter. Mile. Lanza will sing from W. B. Z. tomorrow evening at eight o’clock.” “Miss Pearl Jandreau, the greatest woman chemist in the coun- try, has just discovered four new elements and is at present engaged in making important improvements in Mendeleef’s Periodic Law in order to make room for her elements.” “Mr. Felix Locario, the well known historian, announces that his work on ‘Evolution in Five Volumes,’ will go on sale next we:k. Mr. Locario is a historical genius equal if not superior to Mr. H. G- Wells.” Now a very powerful voice is heard. An auction is going on in Louisiana conducted by Mr. Felix Javorski, widely noted for his stentorian tones. He won a large prize upon his graduation from a school of auctioneering because of the marvelous development of his remarkable voice. After listening in vain for a few moments all connection was lost and then a soprano voice was heard coming from the private station of a doctor. Miss Winnifred Jones was singing for the ben- efit of her fiance, whom she met in her very successful career as a nurse. I immediately realized that she was not singing for my bene- fit so I began to listen to station W. Q. R., where I could hear Mr. Edward Libby at the annual banquet of the Bachelors’ Club, of which he is a permanent member speaking on, “Why, I resolved to remain always a bachelor.” W- B. Z. then gave the following announcements: “The famous troupe of toe dancers known as the M. M. Company consisting of Miss Margaret Maloney, Miss Eleanor Kibbe, Mr. Charges Morrill and Miss Kathryn McCray, all graduates of Enfield High School, will perform in September at Court Square Theatre in Springfield. Be sure and order tickets now and avoid the rush.” Oh, say! Give some one else a chance to listen in. (Making- the necessary adjustments.) The announcer is speaking from a broad-casting station in California, “Miss Mary Daly, the great soloist is accompanied by Miss Mary Ferguson. Miss Daly, the retiring little singer from Thompsonville, Connecticut, who sends her voice to the public yet cannot be seen.” Here is some fresh news about the students, who graduated from the Enfield High School in 1923. “Miss Margaret Gordon assisted by Miss Alma Hawthorne is conducting a fashionable boarding school for girls. Through their combined efforts they have graduated many excellent dancers. THE ENFIELD ECHO 17 “Miss Mary Hogan has signed a contract with the Gilbert Clock Company of Winsted, Connecticut, to powder the faces of their alarm clocks.” “Shortly after her graduation from college, Miss Eleanor Gowdy took a trip to the Pacific Coast. While crossing the Rockies she married the guide. She now spends most of her time in climb- ing to fame.” Who could have imagined! “Margaret Hogan, a leading musician and on the program every evening. She will entertain the radio fans June 27, 1944 by playing the new Victor Records. “The Palm Olive Company has accepted Miss Genievieve Delaney’s resignation. She has been posing as “Keep that School Girl Complexion,” but will now travel as private secretary for President Gendron taking notes of his speeches. Miss Delaney has the distinction of being the first woman to hold this position. “Miss Harriet Hamilton is recognized as one of the leading wel- fare workers in the state. Her many speeches on city improvement are published by the leading newspapers and magazines. She is now conducting a drive for a new play ground for the City of Thomp- sonville. “Miss Marie Fleming has organized a Girl Scout Troop in Thompsonville. She has lived up to her reputation of being “The Leader of the Four Hundred.” “America has produced another champion—Miss Dorothy Hughes has captured the title from the Japanese tennis champion by three straight victories. She was considered a coming star in last season’s tournament. “Albert Hanson has resigned his position as football coach at Princeton to become manager of the New York Americans for 1944. If he is as successful in managering a baseball team as he was in coaching football the ‘Yanks’ will have the pennant clenched next season. “Miss Hannah French who is teaching Latin in the Enfield High School is called ‘The eighth wonder of the world,’ a woman who ex- presses herself in few words.” (Pauses) W. B. Z. “Good Night.” Class By Pearl Jandreau Leaving the halls of Enfield As have former classes free Following in their footsteps Is the class of “twenty-three.” We may not be so brilliant, We may not be so bright, Jingle and Margaret Hogan But our future’s just as hopeful And our hearts are just as light. So ere our final parting, Just for a bit of fun; We’ll write a little jingle Including everyone. i8 THE ENFIELD ECHO Edith Allen talks so much She nearly drives you frantic. Perhaps though the style is such Out where she lives in Scantic. Now here’s to Lucille Becker, A jolly girl you see. She’s going to be an actress To amuse both you and me. Into the history class he comes, And we all wonder whether Bromage follows the policy Of “better late than never.” Margaret Hogan’s not so tall Neither is she very small, But she certainly is full of life For she’s “on the go” both day and night. Scientific subjects Are Stephen’s chief delight. No wonder with his radio He sits up half the night. As leading lady Lois Bridge Has gathered wreaths of fame. Yet she’s not the least bit haughty, She’s “our Lois” just the same. Mary Browne looks quiet As she passes through the hall. But if you think she’s quiet You don’t know her at all. Mildred Brown, I’ve been a-thinking Wouldn’t it be a lot of fun If when you “were up” reciting We could hear you ’cross Room One! We have a lawyer in our class, His name is Warren Bent. Of good advice he has a mass And it is gladly lent. Sarah keeps you guessing For she is very wise. There’s very little doing Escaping Sarah’s eyes. She’s always talking nonsense, She’s always full of fun; That’s the reason “Flossie” Is liked by everyone. Joe Cardone’s bashful, As bashful as can be. But even so he teases The girls in Chemistry. Peter Crombie, we’re all wondering Why it is you talk so much. Don’t you know your brand of Eng- lish “Absetively” beats the Dutch? Whenever there’s discussion Helen Daly can be heard. She’ll argue the whole day long And not give in a word. And then comes sister Mary Who’s as quiet as a lamb. She never makes a bit of noise, But just the same, she can. I wonder why “Gen” giggles so From morning until night. Is she so full of jollity It makes her always bright? Come in at any time of day, Come into any class you will; You’ll surely hear the teacher say, “Miss Fleming, please keep still.” In the morning she doth play The piano in Room One. I will not longer now delay To say it’s Mary Ferguson. Next in our famous class Comes Hannah French so bright. No matter what the teacher asks Her answer’s always right. Margaret Gordon, so they say, Morning, noon or night— Whene’er she’s on a street-car “Vamps” everyone in sight. At basket-ball and foot-ball Sam Gendron is a star; To get another like him You’ll have to go quite far. Now Mary Hogan, So I hear, Is very shy indeed. So of her cousin’s company She seems to stand in need. If in doubt upon a question Whether English, French or “Chem.’ Just call on Harriet Hamilton— You’ll have it all straight then. “Al” Hanson leads our yells, At cheering he’s just fine. And when the team needs help You find him right in line. When Alma leads the freshmen Each morning in assembly, They make a dreadful pile of noise Although their tones are “trembly.’ THE ENFIELD ECHO 19 Now Hazel Hunt doth seem to know A bit more than we others do. But do you “ ’spose” she really knows Quite as much as she pretends to? With her merry look and laughing eyes And a wit that always “lands” her Though seldom she is seen at school We can’t forget “Jo” Lanza. Felice Locario’s a villain 1 really do declare— Whenever any mischief’s on You’ll surely find him there. Always calm and serene Say what you will of her; We all enjoy the quiet smile Of cheerful “V” Terwilliger. And now I think I’ve done my share Of quizzing my classmates. So I will quietly withdraw And hear what Margaret states. Now that was our Pearl Jandreau, A poetess, I declare, And from her jingles you can see, Writers like her are rare. Pare is an athlete strong He plays in every game; And even when the battle’s long, He “holds on” just the same. Gladys Kellogg is so quiet, Her voice so low and weak, In Warehouse Point in her “Velie,” though I’ve heard she’s not so meek. A girl who never worries Not even over bells. And one who never hurries Is our classmate, Katherine Wells. Eleanor Kibbe’s life’s simple deeds— She’s a child of nature fair. For her the pleasure of the meads, The scent of summer air. Katherine McCray, all day long You never say a word Is it that you really think “Children should be seen and not heard. Eleanor Niemiec pray look here, Just one thing we would know. When always we’ve a ball game, Why you do love to go. Charles Merrill, though so quiet Is our athletic fan. Just one more thing I ought to tell— “Teddy’s” called the ladies’ man. Edward Libby, shy and bashful With sonhomore friends is bored, ’Tis said that when he leaves this school He’ll have to buy a Ford. Katherine Shaughnessy, just see here, Why come to school so late? On Wednesday night and Sunday “He” never has to wait. In baseball, football, wrestling Dick Spellman “sure does shine.” And when he goes to Brown next year. He’ll stand the first in line. Graydon Keery, you’re far too quiet, After being with us so long It seems to me you should not be, But then perhaps I’m wrong. Now behold this lucky class, ’Tis free from many cares For George Rich, our business man, Has charge of its affairs. Ambition came, she saw the height Aflame with sudden glory. And Florence toiled through day and night— Her fiddle wrought a story. Well here is Allyn Prior A boy so very small. Lately we’ve been wondering. If he’ll ever grow at all. A certain girl in this high school Has fellows by the score. She used to have but one a week But “Winnie” now has four. This next one is quite bashful The girls he hates to meet. But when it comes to pole-vaulting Javorski can’t be beat. Our Florence Rowan’s very bright. Yes, and quite jolly too. And though you search through all the school Girls like her, you’ll find but few. This charming dark-haired lass Used always to be mild. But when she comes to history class Mischievous Margaret just goes wild. 20 THE ENFIELD ECHO • But now behold this next boy, He is so “awfully smart.” I’m sure the school will miss him When from it Ralph doth part. Alton Nash studies so hard, It really is a pity. Don’t you think if he took a rest He would be just as witty? Then here’s to Dot whose loving heart Sheds light and joy about her. Thanks be to her for countless gems, We’d ne’er have known without her. “Gert” stands on the porch at evening As the sun goes silently down, And the glowworm bright in the star- ry night Sees Eddie coming to town. Next in line comes our Ruth Sinton A girl whom well you know. In school she’s rather bashful, Still Ruth is far from slow. Eleanor Gowdy’s so sedate She seldom says a word. Yet in a place called Wallop ’Tis said she’s always heard. Now who is next but Mary Nash, A noisy bobbed-haired dame, Who though she tries to act grown-up Is youthful just the same. We were not made to fret and sigh, Nor when grief sleeps to wake it. Bright happiness is standing by— Katherine, why not take it? Now who is next but Climene A conscientious student. Who always is most faithful We deem her very prudent. Now our jingles are completed, Each one has heard his verse. In case they’re not as they should be Say nothing; they could be worse.

Advice to Undergraduates By Edward Bromage, Jr. It is with great pleasure, and at the same time with great sad- ness, that I step upon this stage to advise the undergraduates. The venerable seers of the senior class have been greatly troubled about the condition and behavior of the underclassmen. They were not willing to leave for parts unknown, until they were sure that the traditions and standards of this school would be upheld as they should be. Therefore they decided to call in several specialists to help them in diagnosing the ailments of the underclassmen. It was found that their pulses indicated a very serious condition. It was also found, that they were slightly unbalanced mentally and that they were suffering from numerous other afflictions of which I will speak later. We agreed, however, that with a great deal of care and perseverance they might safely pull through. Such advice as I am going to give, although necessarily brief for so many patients, is most excellent, and if carefully followed, may prove sufficient for the needs of the children of the Enfield High School. Hoping that they will harken unto my words of wisdom and counsel, I will speak first to those who are most grievously afflicted. Freshmen: It is not very often that a distinguished senior ad- dresses you! Tonight, through me the whole senior class speaks to you. Yours is a class of large numbers, not size. We are sorely afraid lest some future Barnum come to take more than one of you to join his midget family. One thing that we dislike is your lack of respect for US. You go around the lower halls laughing and talking when we are around. You do not seem to realize your insignificance com- pared with the Noble Seniors, nor do you seem to realize that in your wanderings some big senior might overlook you and crush you to pieces. THE ENFIELD ECHO 37 Another failing is lack of obedience in outdoor gymnas- tics. Instead of promptly executing the orders, you have the peculiar characteristic of repeating every command the leader gives. We hate to think that your pedigree can be traced back to some mocking bird, but in what other animal is this trait inherent? I especially caution you to refrain from disobedience to senior leaders and urge you to become the meek and docile persons that you are now far from being. Then, when it is your turn to direct these ex- ercises you can get up and do as well as we have done. I have some special advice for a few individuals. Certain blond-haired girls should leave the senior boys alone. They should understand that only senior girls have claims upon the senior boys. Freshmen: We know that outside of your lack of rendering service, your disobedience to your elders, your desire to entice the senior boys, your lack of due respect, and your freshness in general, your faults are few, and when you come to take your places where we now stand, no doubt you will say, “Whatever we are we owe to the advice received from the class of 1923.” Sophomores: Your failings are the worst. We do not know where you got the idea that you are “It” but you are critically ill with that disease. Compared to the career of the senior class yours is but an insignificant one. Don’t you realise that? We advise you to come down out of the clouds and touch solid ground in your re- maining days. One very noticeable thing about your boys is that their hair is always shiny. They certainly attempt to make a fine appearance with well-parted locks thickly anointed with fragrant hair oil. Judging from the amount used, the local sale of toilet ar- ticle must be immense. It is to be understood however that the seniors are not to be imitated. I inform you that in no way whatso- ever do you resemble our good-looking young men. One surprising- ly good characteristic about you is that you have a “snappy” de- bating society; but to offset this I have also heard that personalities are cften exchanged therein. I advise you to do away with such methods of arguing because they are harmful to unity and concord. One quality that we really like is that you show a great deal of enthusiasm in everything you do. We know that you appreciate the worth of the members of 1923, for when any senior addresses you he receives a great amount of applause. Sophomores: In spite of all your faults you have the nucleus of a good class. Take advantage of the educational facilities now offered you and you will be a credit to the Enfield High School. Juniors: To you who will soon be called upon to fill our vacant seats, the class of 1923 generously imparts a share of its most treasured wisdom. You have watched our career with pride and admiration, and of course with no little envy. How could you do otherwise? We have striven gloriously, and have we not carried everything before us? We have fought many a good fight, and 38 THE ENFIELD ECHO have we not won every battle? Follow in our path, juniors, and you too will prosper. There is one attribute however that you greatly lack and that is athletic ability. Thus far you have produced no sturdy and brilliant athletes as the seniors have. I am very much worried concerning Enfield’s teams next year. It will devolve upon you, juniors, to carry on the work which we have undertaken in the field of sports. In concentration you are far below the standard set by those who are about to leave these halls of learning. Only on rare occasions do the majority of your class take books home for study. Emulate your distinguished predecessors, the members of the Class of 1923, and in time you may attain some of the wisdom of Sophocles. However I assure you, juniors, that you really have a promising class. By accepting a little more training, and by following my advice you will develop into a class of more than average ability. Now I am going to speak seriously to you young people. It is sad to remember that when the class of 1923 is gone, there will be no helping hand for the weak and undeveloped underclassmen. But we know that when you are in times of trouble you will often think of this distinguished group and say, “Ah, they were a wonderful class. I will take their counsel as my guiding star.” Response for Undergraduates By Ross Terwilliger Friends, Teachers, Most Illustrious Seniors, and Fellow Undergrad- ates : A senior has just told you that it was with both sadness and pleasure that he spoke to you tonight. For my part it is all pleas- ure as it is not very often that we have a chance to “get the better of” the seniors. Some of the criticism is the truth, but on behalf of my fellow' undergraduates, I shall offer a little self-defense. The Freshmen and Sophomores: They are small, but we must remember that the bigger they are the harder they fall, and many a big senior boy has taken a hard “fall” for a small freshman girl. Excepting the class of 1924, the freshman class is the best class in “Dear Old Enfield,” and when we leave we expect them to be more fully grown both physically and mentally. The sophomores have in- flated heads, but their heads are like the inflated automobile tire, they carry them over the hard spots in life. The sophomores will, I am sure, by next year be greatly improved also. Next we come to the most beloved and most active class in the high school, the class of 1924. Oh, how you seniors wronged us! Do you realize how much you offended us, and how unjust- ly you spoke of us when you said that we had no athletes ? Is the THE ENFIELD ECHO 39 junior class without athletes? Count the men on the football, base- ball, and basketball teams. You will find that each team is com- posed of at least three-fifths juniors. Seniors, please bend your proud heads from the clouds and observe the lowly undergraduates. To tell the truth you haven’t the best athletes in your class. We admit we are lazy, but we are so far ahead of the rest of the school that we are waiting for them to catch up to us. We have waited a very long time, too. I do not know how we shall ever fill your shoes for almost every senior wears number elevens, but we shall try hard. Seniors we shall try to fill the seats in room 1 the same way that you did, that is in body, not in brains. Now. let me talk in a more serious tone. We shall take heed of your good advice, and next year a class even better than the class of 1923 will go out into the world. As you leave us let me, in behalf of my fellow undergraduates, wish you the best of luck in the game of life, and may each of you never forget the happy times we had together in “Dear Old Enfield.” Class Will By Warren J. Bent Teachers, Schoolmates and Friends As counsel for the class of 1923, I find it necessary to call you together to listen to the last will and testament of my esteemed client, and to receive from the large store of priceless possessions in my humble charge, the gifts of which my class shall no longer have need. Standing upon the brink of the great unknown, realizing that the day of departure is imminent, with full control over our brilliant intellects and in complete possession of our common sense, we here- by declare and publish this to be our last will and testament, revok- ing and declaring null, wills and promises made by us at any pre- vious time. First—We do request that mortuary exercises be conducted by our principal and long-to-be-remembered faculty, as we desire that said services should reflect all that grandeur and stateliness that was ours. Second—We give, devise and bequeath as follows: Item—To our faculty, our appreciation of the advice and help given us by them in our school career. Item—To the school at large, school spirit. May the under- classmen become as faithful as we have been. Item—To the succeeding class the spirit and co-operation willed to us by the class of 1922—co-operation which we have partially carried on. Item—To the junior class, our senior dignity. May they cast aside their silliness and grow-up. 40 THE ENFIELD ECHO Item—To the cast of next year's play, the histrionic ability of the class of 1923, which was so ably displayed in “Only 38.” Item—To the junior athletes, the “Limelight” hitherto occupied by the senior athletes. May they equal us in ability. Item—To the juniors, our seats in the back of room 1. It is true our signatures adorn them, but remember those autographs are the results of honest toil. Item—Although we are loathe to part with them, we make the following bequests in good faith, trusting that their worth will be appreciated. 1st—To the school at large, all words coined by us, and all the startling information discovered by Gertrude Stafford in chemistry class, especially the amazing fact that air is made up of oxygen and hydrochloric acid. 2nd—To the present and future classes of the Enfield High School the ‘gift of gab, bluff and loud tones” of Crombie. We de- sire that this bequest be divided into parts, one each for the fresh- men, sophomores and juniors with a portion to be left in trust for all future classes for “they may come and they may go, but the supply goes on forever.” 3rd—To Herbert Fiedler the busines end of the “Echo.” May he keep it free from financial worries. 4th—To Rudolph Libby a file to rub the bumps from his head. 5th—To Grace Sullivan a quotation “Oh, would some power cculd be given us to see ourselves as others see us.” 6th—To any flapper the wads of gum belonging to Miss Gordon. They are withered and dry with age but if you use as much energy as has been their lot to receive, you will have them in serviceable condition, snapping them as loudly as ever. “Remember, he who chews gum is not always the toughest.” 7th—To all would-be bondes the monopoly of a certain senior boy on the use of peroxide.
