THE ENFIELD ECHO 9 On Many Application Forms for Employment IS THIS QUESTION Do You MO BV? Importance of this que stion to the em- ployer is that if you have not learned to manage your own affairs, it is not like- ly you will be wanted to manage his. It seems to be the feeling of all employ- ers that if a man cannot save for him- self, it is hardly probable he can save for them. Save Through Our Bank The Thompsonville Trust Co.

XIV THOMPSONVILLE, CONN., JUNE 1926 NO. 6 ADDRESS OF WELCOME By Clyde Terwilliger Parents and Friends : As president of the Class of 1926 I extend to you all a hearty welcome, and I wish to express our appreciation of the interest you have taken in us during our stay in Enfield High School. We, the Class of 1926, make our entrance tonight upon Com- mencement Week, the climax of our happy stay here, with how- ever one regret, that the man who made possible this wonderful addition to the town, is not here to see the first result of his work. We are, indeed, a thankful class, for we have had the privilege this last year of first using this new building; this building which with all its conveniences and perfections has made us more able to help us in our work and to prepare us for the continuation of our careers with the dignity and honor befitting a graduate of Enfield High School. And so we go out, determined to live according to the wonder- ful example given us by Dr. Alcorn in his own private life and in his kind work. Now, in behalf of the Class of 1926 I welcome you all to these exercises and to the exercises following this week. CLASS HISTORY By Dorothy Parker In the fall of 1922 the Class of 1926 entered the Enfield High School as Freshmen, with a total membership of one hundred and forty-four. By the end of the school year we had but seventy-nine of our class left with us. Several had to leave an account of illness and others because of failure in their courses. Of the eighty-five who left, there were some who went to work, and some changed residence. Those that went to work found that money appealed to them then much more than education.
