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 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.

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.
