THE ENFIELD ECHO 19 signed his position and is expected to sail for China to become a missionary there. It is back in Thompsonville again. There is Miss Eleanor McCarthy’s beauty parlors. Her general manager is Alfred Noll. We all remember Miss May Witt who was so quiet in school. She has become quite valuable and has become a second feminine Sherlock Holmes. Toon—I guess that is the last of our classmates. Well, Mr. Bridge, I suppose you will have to return to your laboratories back on the earth so you may promote the sales of your discovery— flexible window glass. There is a great future in it for you; its only handicap is that you can’t see through it. Bridge—Yes, I must be going; but, by the way, Miss Spellman, what are you doing now? Spellman—Oh, me? I’m a society reporter. I must hurry back to the earth to interview young Vanderbilt. And Miss Hird, what are you doing? Hird—Oh, I am well occupied. You see, I’m a representative of the National Geographic Association, sent out to collect any material for their publications. That’s the reason why I’m here now. I must hurry back to report our new discovered wonders. All—Let’s go! CLASS JINGLE By Doris Bridge and Elizabeth Sapsuzian In trench or dug-out or at battle front, While our boys bravely were fighting the foe, They learned to know as passed each weary month All about their pals—their joy and woe. And while ours is not nearly so sad a tale The class of ’24 year after year, Side by side fighting that they might not fail Have learned something of everyone— funny or queer. Even though she won’t talk loud And has a bashful way, Of Esther Beman we’re justly proud. Why? Ask our Miss Gay! I’ve often heard him mumble When order is required, Freddie’s a boy who likes to grumble Yet he’s really much admired. “Bea” ’s a girl of high ambition Who sure knows how' to type, She will find a good position As is only fair and right. Unlike the knights of old Bill Callahan is not bold, But the goal for which he’ll try Is “I’ll live for love or die.” When the president announces the decision The day Connor’s on for debate. There will be no laugh of derision For Frankie sure is great. Alec lives out on a farm Far away from Enfield’s noise We hope he may come to no harm; He’s more bashful than our E. H. boys. Stop, look, and listen, There’s music in the air, Charlie’s playing his cornet In tones so sweet and rare.

18 THE ENFIELD ECHO school, but now she is working in her own laboratories in Boston. She has discovered a commercial process for making cold cream out of lard. Miss Monstello has advanced wonderfully. See her studios in Paris where she is a designer. You know she designs all the snappy new styles for young men. See that husky young man, who used to be our star athlete, chasing butterflies out in the fields. That’s Joe Noratovich, the great biologist. He is an expert on bugs and claims that twenty motor bugs can travel at the rate of one hundred and fifty miles an hour. Now look at Wall Street. That portly gentleman is Patrick Needham, a broker. They say he made his millions by cornering the Eskimo Pie market. Let’s turn to the king’s palace at London, England. See that young man parading around the royal grounds with a young lady leaning on his arm. That young man is the Prince of Wales, who has at last fallen in love with an American girl—Pearl Lawrence. Bridge—Ella Noble is responsible for the holeproof hosiery she has patented among her other great inventions. These are hole- proof—they’re made of wire. Lawrence Lamont has inherited the barbering instinct from his forefathers. He has invented a machine that will cut your hair for a nickle. One of his customers is suing him for the price of an ear that the machine took off along with his hair. Eleanor King, famous songwriter, has just finished two new creations. The first is, “I Love Washing Dishes, but It’s Tiresome Without You”, and the second, “Every night Is Wednesday Night.” Hird—See that traffic officer wearing skirts! Hail the first traffic policewoman—Alice Orson directing autos and pedestrians at the corner of Main and State Streets in Springfield. I hope we shall get back to earth before the end of the week, because Henry Mercik is going to release his new dancing composi- tion known as the “Kangaroo Waltz”, at the Venetian Gardens. Spellman—Sylvia Leroux, so I hear, isn’t going to run for the Presidential chair, as she expects to get married in June. Gaze upon Dr. Charles Libby going to see one of his patients. He has been credited with not losing the life of a single patient— that is, before he presents his bill. Dorothy Malley is starting a super-woman campaign using a mailed fist. Mrs. Hancock is outdone. Miss Malley demands that woman be placed on a higher pedestal than man. Yes, the higher they put them, the harder they fall. We can clearly see the Ford Plant in Detroit, where Martin Gorman is being photographed in the front seat of a Ford, the resulting picture to be used for international advertising material. The Rev. Robert Downton of the Plymouth Church has re-

20 THE ENFIELD ECHO If at any place you must arrive As fast as cars can so, “Art” Greaves is just the man to drive For his Stude just won’t run slow. Because he Is nothing but a pest, Hamilton’s worse than all the rest, Which often makes us deeply groan And heartily wish ourselves at home. Katie Hawkes who hates to shirk, Is studious and calm That is why she does good work And answers tests without a qualm. In time to come many a person will say When he thinks of the days gone by, “I was lucky to have Miss Hird as a nurse For to help me her best did she try.” Sometime Elly will be in our gym Teaching students how to swim, How to keep in daily trim, And in studies to show lots of vim. Poet, athlete, musician too, There isn’t much for us to want, In everything he’ll be true blue— Our own famous classmate L. Lamont. Quite the best girl we ever knew, Pearl behaves well even in school, Girls like her are far too few, Not many of us live by the golden rule. Harold Kerr best known as “Happy” Lives right up to his name. In baseball he’s real snappy And plays a winning game. “Dot” Malley so we’ve heard Never, never gets cross Or says a hateful word Or even tries to boss. Helen may seem demure and still As she wanders down the hall; But oh, she gives us many a thrill When she plays in basket ball! At midnight on some enchanted sea Behold Eleanor McCarthy and her “he”! Now just because of that nocturnal date Sometimes to school she’s very late. Chewing gum is Henry’s delight, He chews it morning, noon, and night, Wrigley’s, Beman’s, Beechnut, too, Either wads or packets, old or new. Tony’s going to be a dancer And thrill the passing throng. Even now she’s some entrancer; To gain success won’t take long. Alfred Noll we often see Working in the jewelry store, We hope to see him in time to come As industrious as he was of yore. Joe can really pole vault And help along in track, In mid-air he doesn’t halt Or hold our team far back. She sure knows how to powder And how to steal a heart away, Young men just flock about her, About whom? Why, “Al” Orson, any day. Listen to me, little Juliet, In the far off country of Borneo I know of an apartment to let Where you’d be alone with your Romeo. “Marv, Mary, quite contrary,” To Miss Pianka won’t apply. She’s more a graceful fairy, She’s so bashful and so shy. “Lib” Sapsuzian’s considered up-to- date, in every way amusing: By her classmates she’s thought first rate But to laugh out loud is quite con- fusing. Does Pat know that you can cook As he converses hour by hour? H s he ever, Bee. in a cozy nook Called you a dainty flower? What r favor the gods bestowed Upon “Red” Spellman, our bewitching lass! To them surelv, she has owed Her wealth of friends in this her class. Can’t you see our Grace, An orator of note In political race Winning each person’s vote?
