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.

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.
