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.

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.

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.’
