XV THOMPSONVILLE, CONN., JUNE 1927 NO. 6 ADDRESS OF WELCOME By George Crombie Parents and Friends: We, the members of the class of 1927, extend you a cordial welcome to the customary class-night program. Four years ago we entered the old Enfield High School as a group of ambitious boys and girls. At first it seemed as though we were due for four long years of scholastic drudgery, but Alas! that seemingly endless period has been very short indeed. During the course of those four years this new and beautiful high school was erected and we have been blessed with the privi- lege of spending two years here. Our happy moments in Enfield High School are about to come to a close. We take this time to show our appreciation to our teachers, parents and friends. We have done our utmost in trying to provide an entertaining program and we hope it will please you. In behalf of the class of 1927, I extend to everyone a hearty welcome to the ceremonies of this evening, which will bring to an end a career of happy memories. CLASS PROPHECY By Ruth Dolan, Eleanor Luke, Marie Ringwald, Wilson Taylor “FOREWORD” Three society girls, Ruth Dolan, Eleanor Luke and Marie Ringwald, are touring the world. They have been on the boat for about three weeks and after visiting Europe, the Mediterranean, and northern Africa, have finally rounded the southern tip of Africa and find themselves in the Indian Ocean. Deck quoits, bridge, and even gossip about their fellow passengers have lost 12 THE ENFIELD ECHO their interest so the girls look about for something to amuse them. Just then the Captain of the ship passes. He turns out to be none other but Wilson Taylor, one of their class mates at Enfield. In the conversation that follows, the girls learn that Captain Taylor has kept records of their fellow classmates, which he consents to bring out for their edification. Bostick, Caskie—Here’s an adver- tisement for Roxy’s Theater, an- nouncing their coming attractions. Why listen to this: To be shown for the first time “One Fleeting Hour,” starring Doris Caskie and Randall Bostick. White, Cardone, Rappoport—Ah! A notice about a court case. Ray- mond White is being sued for breach of promise by Miss Cotilda Cardone. Weil, I am not surprised. He always was absent minded and indefinite about his dates. Harold Rappoport is appearing as Miss Cardone’s Lawyer. Dockham, Noll—Dockham and Noll have just gotten a patent out on a new set of childrens’ play toys. “Guaranteed to Keep the Baby Smil- ing.” When Brainard saw this, I bet he laughed out loud. Jeanette Woodward—Here’s a list of the best books of the month, and the first one is entitled “A Night in a Chinese Garden,” by Jeanette Woodward. A notation says that Miss Woodward’s works have by far surpassed those of the former Elinor Glyn. O'Brien, Miller—Gould O’Brien and James Miller have just completed the first non-stop round the world trip. A great many stage positions have been offered but the two young men refuse to give up their flying careers. Rosella Muldoon—The New Mul- doon Dictionary is now on the mar- ket. Much has been written both in praise and criticism of it. The most obnoxious criticism is that Miss Mul- doon is unable to explain some of the meanings herself. Abrahamson, Percival—Here’s an item telling how Helene Percival and Edward Abrahamson are conducting a musical tour. One of the attrac- tions is a portable baby grand which they carry with them from village to village. Jackson Green—The village of Hocksville was saved from the rav- ages of a forest fire by the timely warning sent out by Forester Jack- son Green of the Ranger Service. Ingraham, Caret , Kelley—Revenue officers, Francis Cai’ey, Deane Ingra- ham and Kelley have just been given the three highest positions for cap- turing rum-runners, due to their com- mendable work. Rutherford, Brainard—The new Civil Service tests which are more difficult than in the past, under the arrangement of Ramsey Rutherford have just been issued. David Brain- ard passed the mailman’s test with the highest record. He was always good at carrying news. Madeleine Watson—Miss Made- leine Watson has been elected Mayor of Scantic Town. The civic welfare has progressed remarkably under her direction. Strekas—Strekas has found a new chemical element that brings radio sounds in without static. He has named it the Storrekas. It entirely revises the periodic law. Ethel Fiedler—Miss Fiedler has been appointed organist at the new Cathedral in Enfield. Clara Hamil- ton is the soprano soloist. Foley, Ebel—Miss Martha Ebel has bi’oken her engagement with “Ed” Foley’s Scandals and has con- sented to demonstrate a New Style permanent. Miss Ebel’s followers will very much regret the absence of her appearance. Novak, Yesukievicz—Here is a clip- ping announcing the election of John Novak to the Senate. What wonder- ful progress John has made. Well he was always ambitious. Stanley THE ENFIELD ECHO 13 Yesukievicz has been elected to the Senate also. John is on the Demo- cratic ticket and Stanley is on the Republican ticket. Matthew Sypek—Well, they have finally found a substitute for “Rudy” Valentino after all these years. It is Matthew Sypek. Here is a picture of him in the paper. He is standing in front of a tent on a desert with his arms folded and he looks real sheikish. Maloney—Miss Maloney has writ- ten a book entitled “New Methods of Perambulation.” Many nurse-maids have obtained valuable information from her book. Hannon, Knight—There’s an item in the engagement columns announc- ing Margaret Hannon’s engagement to George Knight. Mr. Knight is a multi-millionaire. Miss Hannon was formerly his secretary. Burns—Here is the sport page. Rita Burns has won the champion- ship for the greatest woman sprinter in the U. S. Phelps—The poetical genius is spending her vacation at Deauvill, France. Rosalie Mazzini is her com- panion. Norian—Because of her remark- able ability in talking, Miss Doris Norian is now chief ediphone dictator at the Traveler Insurance Co. Galimberti—Oh, a list of the can- didates for the presidency! The only woman on it is Louise Galimberti. I see she has given a speech to a group of voters. If talk will get votes from the public, Louise will cer- tainly be elected. McCann — Hugh McCann has bought out the bologna manufactur- ing department of H. L. Handy and now holds a monopoly of the bologna production of the country. Carlo Scavotto is the chief sample tester. Their recipes are recommended by the White House. Merrill—Wm. Merrill is now lead- ing the American League in batting. He is also starring in the field. Hughes—Miss Betty Hughes has succeeded the Deane of Mt. Holyoke in the Latin department. She is par- ticularly popular because of her favor for student government. Carle—Clark Carle will give one of his varied concerts at the Ritz-Carl- ton in the course of a few weeks. Mr. Carle’s programs are so very in- teresting because they contain selec- tions from the most sedate composers to the Jazziest. Cowhey—I see where the leading color for the season has been intro- duced by Anna Cowhey at the fashion show. It is a new shade of orange. Anna must have given up her rage for green. Crombie, Leggett, Savage—Presi- dent Crombie and his wife, formerly Ruth Leggett, are gaining weight due to the skillful practice of Anna Savage who has charge of the White House kitchen. Miss Savage is a specialist on Mr. Crombie’s favorite Bologna sandwiches. Marjore Pare—I see here where the women sport enthusiasts have come into their own. A new set of encyclopedias, dealing upon the sub- ject “The Art of Golfing,” has been published by Miss Marjore Pare, an authority on the subject. Dorothy King, Margaret Connor— How interesting! Dorothy King and Margaret Connor are to play the tennis finals to decide who is to hold the championship. May the best one win. Doris Bramwell—The newest won- der of the Ages! It seems beyond human endurance but, Miss Doris Bramwell has concoted a new for- mula for food that will sustain one for a week or more, only the smallest mite having been taken. Miss Bram- well demonstrates by partaking of a small amount and dancing for seven days. Irene Pochette, Alice Roivan— Here’s an item announcing the open- ing of “Ye Old Tavern” at Dennis Port, Cape Cod, under the proprie- torship of the Misses Irene Rochette and Alice Rowan. Edith Gatto—Remember how well Edith Gatto used to draw? Well, she has made remarkable progress. She now designs and draws all the covers for the “Smart Set.” 14 THE ENFIELD ECHO Fanelli—Raymond Fanelli is allow- ing a firm, which manufacturers com- plexion soap, to use his name and photograph as an advertisement. It reads—“Keep That School Boy Com- plexion.” Elma Akerley—Why! Here’s a pic- ture of Mrs. Stanley Burgess and her two children. It states here that Mrs. Burgess and her two children arc spending their vacation at Wai- kiaka Beach. Notice that both chil- dren have light curly hair. Eileen Malley—I see where Eileen Malley is posing for an artist who paints the same type of pictures that Titian painted. You know he always painted people with titian hair. Henry Cormier—Henry Cormier is now holding a position with Barnum Bailey’s Circus as the tallest man in the world. I wonder what Henry did to make him grow so tall. Amelin Zawada—Miss Zawada is scheduled to give a special speech and exhibition on “The Correct Use of Cosmetics.” CLASS JINGLES By Elma Akerley and Ethel Fiedler For the class of Twenty-Seven Time for parting’s drawing nigh, As they leave the halls of Enfield, With full hearts and spirits high. We have a little verse to read For each and every one; We hope that you will take it right, For it’s only just in fun. Evelyn is so diligent, She studies night and day; Go to it, Evelyn. We wish you luck; You’ll surely make your way. Randall in his studies Always doesn’t do well, But on the field—or in the Ford We hear he does excell. Eyes that are always sparkling And bubbling over with fun; Can you guess who it may be? Of course, it’s—Clara Hamilton. Yessi is a one-man track team; He fairly seems to fly; When Yessi goes out for any sport His motto is, “I)o or die!” Helene, with her talent for music, Produces such wonderful tone; She likes to respond to the wailing And the blare of a male saxophone. The time is not so far away ’Till Merrill will be heard to say, “Fair lady, may I have this dance?” He’ll do it, too—if you give him a chance. Laughing and giggling all the while, This lass, of whom I speak, For Anna is as gay a girl As we would care to meet. Though Jeannette still has long tresses You will always find her game; We’re sure that her good stories Will some day bring her fame. When Hugh took the part of Adam, His clothes were of old-fashioned make; But when he is in his school attire, He is strictly up-to-date. Some folks think Ruth is backward, But with this we don’t agree; In fact, she’s much the other way When she goes on a spree. John makes an ideal center, He’s so muscular and tall; He uses all his spare time To practice basketball. Edith has been an artist Since she began to toddle; We think by her bewitching eyes She might well be a model. Madeline never did like gym, We hope it wrought no harm— For Madeline got her exercise Out in Scantic—on the farm. He walks to school with her each morn, He’s much in love, we fear, But Matthew, we all wonder, What will Hazel do next year? THE ENFIELD ECHO 15 Though Jackson is tall and stately, He’s quite collegiate, we hear; He wears baggy knickers and splashy socks, And goes about hatless throughout the year. Next in line is Ethel, A pianist quite famed, Though in her repertoire Jazz pieces are not contained. Ray White is so very vain, Tho he has a catching way, He also has a “catching Ford”, That’s what gets ’em, Ray. Even though he’s youngest In the class of ’27, Georgie flirts with all the girls; Shame! He’ll never get to Heaven. We have an orator in our class Who ever tries to please; Of course you know Louise it is, Who debates with such skillful ease. James Miller is our new classmate Who talks—a very little bit; Rut we must say at any rate In sports—he surely makes a hit. Miss Bramwell is a bashful miss; She never says a word, And if she’s ever spoken to Her voice cannot be heard. Red, wavy hair, and long at that! Oh! What a proposition! Despite it all Miss Malley has A charming disposition. When Dotty is away from home, She likes to raise the dickens, But when she doesn’t stray or roam. She spends her time with “Chickens.” Ramsey conceals a load of brains Under his bright red hair; But on the farm he takes pains To make use of what’s stored there. When Irish eyes are smiling, And a dimple in each cheek, Sure, we know that charming Agnes Had “hot fudges” all this week. Ruth Leggett doesn’t like to talk, And at acting doesn’t balk; She had lots of pep and was full of glee When Adam said, “Come here to me. And now we come to Fanelli, A lad with jet black hair, Together with a complexion Which now-a-days is quite rare. Alice is of the quiet type, With a disposition mild, We wonder what would happen, If Alice acted wild. We wonder if to college Scavatto will really go; We hope at first he gets a book On “What College Men Should Know.” Under a spreading chestnut tree Our little Deane did stand; The old boy is not what he used to be, Since he gave both heart and hand. We all know Marj loves dancing And skating is her specialty; Who knows but in the future A champion she may be. Cotilda’s hair is never curled, It’s always long and straight; Cotilda, why not bob it now, And be right up-to-date. Eddie is a magnet For women, so they say; But Eddie lost his Erma, For she’s gone elsewhere to play. Martha likes her Henry, Though he hasn’t much of a car; It’s an old rattling Ford Which takes them very far. Rosalie is lots of fun, And she dresses like a queen; But I couldn’t say about her A single thing that’s mean. David’s awfully little, But I couldn’t say the same About his gleeful giggle That brings to him much fame. Betty is on the “Echo”; She’s done her very best, And kept up with her school work, too; Don’t you think she’s earned a rest? Marie doesn’t like to tattle, Her business all to say. But there’s one thing that she likes, We wonder; is it Ray? Rita likes to study, Her tasks she does with ease. 16 THE ENFIELD ECHO Her card is one of the best, It’s crammed with A’s and B’s. Margaret Connor is so quiet, She hasn’t much to say; Bat we’re quite sure that she Will rise to fame some day. Abrahamson is quite a lad, His sax he plays real well; But, with the girls is he as smart? Of that, he’ll never tell. Now Crombie has a very big car, And drives it very well; But when Ruth drove it home that night— It surely went pell-mell. Doris Norian is so noisy, She talks and fools all day; But still on her report card You will find a couple of A’s. Now Carey’s very quiet, In class this is revealed, And to the girls that pass him His lips are always sealed. Ruth Dolan, on buggy rides doesn’t g° . , As they did in eighty-seven; But now she does a lot of things— To keep her out of Heaven. Peter is a big surprise When he is out of school; But when he’s in that Pontiac, He does nothing else but fool. Bernice, you’re never still a minute— You can’t sit quiet in your seat— From early morn till night, You’re busy, tongue and feet. Margaret works in the five and ten, A little store on Pearl Street; We wonder if that’s the reason, Why—she always looks so neat. Rosella loves to argue, Her tongue wags night and day, You might as well listen Till she has had her say. Next is Bill Kelley With hair so very bright, Talking to the girlies Seems to be his chief delight. Henry is so very small He can sure make some fun; And when he’s on the baseball field, You ought to see him run. Doris is so dignified, As all of you can see, ’Cause she’s our valedictorian Just as she ought to be. Flashing eyes and bright red cheeks— At his throat a “special” bow; When it comes to charming the fair sex, Why—Clarkie’s not so slow. Irene seems fond of music, When bowing she’s at her best, And at Friday assemblies Her fiddle leads all the rest. Ida Brien, we’ve been wondering, What murmurs would fill the air, If to school you come some morning After having bobbed your hair. Elma has big shining eyes, Her laughter’s always bright, But by the list of her admirers, She must use them day and night. Iiapoport thinks he’s smart, When in class he does recite. But when he wears those knickers He knows that he’s just right. Eleanor’s always dreaming Of things we do not know; Come on—’fess up, Eleanor, Is it your beau ? O’Brien, you’re very smart in school, But goodness! why don’t you grow? Then, too, you speak so very fast, It’s hard to hear, you know. Anna is a bashful girl, We can’t imagine why; We wonder if out of school, Anna is so shy. Amelia is so sweet, And also very shy, Whene’er she sees a boy, You ought to see her fly. Bill was our third baseman And perhaps due to his red hair, He had some difficulties— Now Cormier is stationed there. Now classmates, we hope that you’ll not feel sore, For now we’ve finished—we’ll say no more, For all the knocks that we have sent Were never written to be meant.

ADVICE TO UNDERGRADUATES By Stanley Yesukiewicz Most Pretentiously Wise Undergraduates: The time has come when we must part. You must now learn to depend upon yourselves, which hitherto, you have not done. If you will work diligently and seriously, you will overcome all obstacles. Although, we are an unassuming body of students, I wish to bring to your attention, our marvelous progress. We have among us, a large number of bright students. This can be ascer- tained by looking up our scholastic record. We have played a large part in all sports. Among us, we have four persons who have been captains of the various teams. Isn’t this a splendid record for our class? Have you heard the wonderful voices of the Seniors who belonged to the Glee Club and to the various quartets? I think you will admit that we are quite talented along that line of work. We have done much to make our school paper a success. With these facts in mind, I think it is only expedient that you should listen to the erudite advice of one of the Seniors. I have been given the honor to point out to you, your faults, which I shall do with intrep- idity. Freshmen: It has been the custom to speak to you first. As we are conservatives, not radicals, we do not feel inclined to change this custom. Freshmen, you are the worst class Enfield has ever known with the acknowledged exception of the Juniors. What’s 36 THE ENFIELD ECHO this I hear about Freshmen girls making love to the Senior boys! Immediately after the association of the Freshmen girls with the Senior boys, the boys had the tendency of shirking their work. Girls, you must stop this. You are turning the boys away from the path of righteousness. Girls, I know you wouldn’t have done this had you not witnessed the members of the faculty entering the ranks of matrimony. I earnestly advise you to utterly disregard the doings of the members of the faculty along this line. In spite of all your faults, we Seniors, find you a very likeable group of children. Putting aside your faults, I think you have a very bright future before you. You have done well in your school work and in various athletic activities. I congratulate you. Sophomores: In spite of the fact that you have called us banana skins, we still feel concerned about your future. You girls look very languid. This is due to the fact that you do your exer- cises in the gymnasium half heartedly. I was shocked when one of the worthy Seniors informed me that you obtained your fair complexion from vanity cases. Gaze upon the beauty of the fair sex of our class. They all have a natural complexion. Their beauty surpasses Cleopatra’s. You boys lack initiative. You have been active in sports, but you have not done your very best. You have allowed all other classes to forge ahead. In spite of all your shortcomings, I think you will rise from the abyss and will reach the goal that the class of 1927 has reached. Juniors: I haven’t much to say to you except that you have the combined faults of the Freshmen and Sophomores. You are the most conceited class Enfield has ever known. You atrocious Juniors have no serious thoughts. You have caused much noise in the halls much to the annoyance of the quiet, retiring Seniors. Thanks to the members of the faculty, you have ceased to annoy us. The bigger boys of your class are of the happy-go-lucky sort. I appreciate the spirit of the smaller men of your class. They have done much to promote athletics. Juniors, you will soon be called upon as our successors, to take a leading part in all activities. Endeavor to be as good students and athletes as the upper class men and you will reach the goal you are striving for without difficulty. Undergraduates: For four short years we Seniors have worked together in this school. We have learned to love it. We realize this more and more as the day of our departure approaches. May you have the same affection for the school ! We all wish you the best of success. We hope that you will do wonderful things so that Enfield may be proud of you. THE ENFIELD ECHO 37 RESPONSE FOR THE UNDERGRADUATES By Celestino Tina Ladies and Gentlemen and Fellow-Schoolmates: It is, very evident that everything has started in excellent spirits and it is my hope that it shall end in exactly the same spirit. I must confess to you that I stand upon this platform tonight in a good deal of trepidation. And why wouldn’t I ? Look what’s behind! One cannot tell what their next action might be. While listening to this Senior’s speech, I come to the conclu- sion that he must have taken a course in public speaking, for he seems to have convinced you with his accusations, of which some are true, but not all. At the offset, I wish this Senior success and that some day he may become a forceful orator, but be sure to base all his arguments on facts. The thing that I can’t understand is this, that with all your talk and your accusations you do not trans- late your sentiments into actions. Having attacked the Freshmen first it is my place to defend them first. He points out that the Senior boys are led astray by the Freshmen girls; then they must admit that it took Freshmen girls to attract them. I’m wondering why in the past four years Senior boys have not found companions in their own class. Now in referring to the Sophomores, this Senior spoke as if he felt hurt to be called banana skins; as yet they have furnished no reason to disapprove this statement. It is a well known fact that their class is of a slippery type. Then he goes on to say that the Sophomore girls do not meet his taste because they do not earnestly exercise themselves. If this is true then, I would not ask people to gaze upon their fair sex, for I learned from the physical instructor that some of the Senior girls cannot even take gym, due to physical deficiency. As to their beauty surpassing Cleopatra’s, I do not see where it has the same effect. As to the Sophomores lagging behind, they believe in the policy “slow but sure.” Next, this Senior dares to charge on the Juniors, but any Senior attack on the Juniors has always met with great resistence. Perhaps the Seniors will recall what happened in the Junior-Senior debate, at the end of which the Seniors were hardly able to move their tongues. Let alone the speaking ability—how about the Junior-Senior basketball game and how the Juniors out-maneuvor- ed the big Seniors? He calls us conceited—this is because we re- alize that we will fill the positions next year, as Seniors better than you have. The Juniors annoyed them by their noise, let me say that the Seniors are by no means angels, and the only time they are quiet is when Miss Gay is around. As I come to a close, may I give a bit of advice to the departing Seniors—that they keep an eye on the class of 1928 and they never will go wrong? 38 THE ENFIELD ECHO Seniors: We undergraduates accept sincerely your advice and will strive to remedy our shortcomings. As you depart from us, we hope you will not forget how the classes of ’30, ’29, and ’28 have worked with you. As you go out to face the outside world we wish you, with all our hearts and souls the best of success. Keep close to your hearts the memory of Old Enfield, and work earnestly and sincerely—never commit any act that will bring discredit to her. Have as your motto, “I will never steal a victory.” CLASS WILL By Jackson Green and George Crombie Teachers, Schoolmates and Friends: As counsel for the class of ’27, I have deemed it necessary to assemble you together tonight, to harken unto the last will and testimony of that illustrious class. My client has been generous to all and the rich stores of wisdom and worldly possessions accumu- lated thru four years of effort and self-sacrifice will now be dis- tributed. Standing upon the brink of the great unknown, realizing that the day of departure is imminent, with full control over our dazzling intellects and in complete possession of our common sense, we hereby declare and publish this to be our last will and testi- mony, revoking and declaring null, wills and promises made by us at any antecedent occasion. First—We do entreat and request that mortuary exercises be under the sagacious management of our Principal and our long-to- be-remembered Faculty, as we desire that the said exercises should correctly reflect all that dignity and sublimity that once was ours. Second—We give, devise and bequeath as follows: Item—To our Faculty, our appreciation for the co-operation and advice given by them in our secondary educational career. Item—To the school at large, the school spirit of old Enfield, charging them with the support of all her activities. Item—To the class of ’28, our inimitable Senior dignity and stateliness. We think that by this time they should have lost their childish ways and be prepared to assume a more matured attitude. Item—To the cast of next year’s play, the exceptional ability of the Class of ’27 so ably displayed in “Adam and Eva.” Item—To certain Junior athletes a space in the “Limelight” which has been so impressively monopolized by our esteemed Senior athletes. Item—To our teachers, a chance to attend a summer school. They will need great patience and subtle psychology in order to THE ENFIELD ECHO 39 expediate knowledge through the thick-skulled Juniors’ craniums. Item—To our room teacher, Miss Gay, an acknowledgement that once we disremembered to return to our seats at ten minutes to one. Item—Although we are loathe to part with them, we make the following bequests in good faith, trusting that their worth will be partly appreciated: 1st—To Carolyn Blowen, the use and care of the school piano, which has been monopolized by the Seniors. 2nd—To the manager of next year’s play, the discom- fiture of hiring a truck to move chairs. When George Crombie leaves, so does his truck. 3rd—To Blethen Dutton, head of the Alumni Department of the “Echo,” the warning not to fraudulently misrepresent any of the Class of ’27 as starting at the bottom of any busi- ness. 4th—To Frederick Phelps, Bostick’s privilege to ride to school on a one and a half lung motor-cycle. 5th—To John Daly, McCann’s privilege to wear knickers. 6th—To Nigro, Yessies’ wonderful sense of humor. How- ever, this does not include Yessies’ school girl complexion. So if Sam doesn’t know about “Palmolive Soap” then he must catch as catch can. And he can. 7th—To next year’s baseball coach, the remains of John J. Hopkins’ pennant winning baseball team. 8th—To Harold August, the age-old remedy, “Go find an- other Sheba.” Maybe he won’t have to. 9th—To Travers and August one extra large big Ben— non-stop-alarm clock that they may at least reach school in time for one class before dinner. 10th—To all bus students one bus of sufficient size so that all may take the last bus to school in the morning. 11th—To the school at large, all words coined by us. We wish to inform them that we did not coin the word so often used by Seniors which is antedisestablishmentarianism. 12th—To D’Aleo and others, a taxi paid for from the class treasury to save them the inconvenience of bumming rides to Springfield during school hours. Item—We hereby appoint the said Principal sole executor of this our last will and testament. In witness thereof we, the Class of ’27, Testators, set our hand and seal this 14th day of June, Anno Domini one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven. Witnesses: Signed: BOB MITCHELL MISS STORES. JACKSON GREEN, GEORGE CROMBIE. 40 THE ENFIELD ECHO CLASS SONG Words by Jeannette Woodward Music by Helene Percival , j rr s— —r T t . 1 , r r V J 4r f-J-f -= —d —e J J _i urn '.ug '. . j ?

Gone are our school days so joyous and free And all the happy times we’ve spent with thee. Dear Alma Mater, that we’ve spent with thee. To you who tenderly guided our feet, Thanks do we render and homage so meet. Naught of thy kindness can time e’er efface, Nor from our hearts our true love e’er erase. Dear Alma Mater, we pledge you our faith. Now we are leaving thy sheltering walls, Going forth bravely where our duty calls, Often to thee will our thoughts fondly turn, Deep in our hearts will thy memory burn. Fair Alma Mater, we pledge loyalty. THE ENFIELD ECHO 41 C. H. S. TRACK TEAM CLASS HISTORY By William Kelley On September 17, 1923, the Class of 1927 entered Enfield High School. It was not the spacious and well-equipped building that we are in this evening. No, it was a dingy-poorly-lighted, over- crowded building. Despite this handicap, the Class of 1927 pro- ceeded to prove its worth by engaging in all the activities which Enfield High affords its students. The teachers, always quick to see the defects of classes, smiled amongst themselves when the first month was completed. The freshman class was surely an in- telligent class and needed no lengthy sessions after school to drive home some point in mathematics, history or any other subject. Among an intelligent class there are always those who stand out. Some of the more brilliant students were: Miss Doris Caskie and Miss Helene Percival. When the first call for football candidates came, there reported from the Class of 1927 two boys who became the outstanding ath- letes which Enfield High possessed over a three year stretch. I refer to Randall Bostick and William Merrill. They are also two of the most popular boys of Enfield High and will be sorely missed by all who have known them and in particular by the coaches of athletics. 42 THE ENFIELD ECHO Randall Bostick captained the football team during his Sophomore year; William Merrill during his Junior year; and George Crombie during his Senior year which goes to prove how good we Seniors really have been on the gridiron. Randall Bostick also acted as captain of the basketball team. Covering the four years Randall Bostick amassed nine letters while William Merrill succeeded in earning a like number. While these are our big guns in athletics we have also lesser lights. On the eleven Stanley Yesikiewicz served faithfully at tackle for three years. He was also one of the best track men that Coach Allen possessed. In addition to those who received letters earned on the football team some of the Class of 1927 worked hard and long getting the team in shape to represent Enfield in the best possible manner. Although basket- ball is only in its second year at Enfield the Class of 1927 is well represented in that sport. As usual Randall Bostick and William Merrill take the leading parts ably supported by Raymond Fanelli, Deane Ingraham, Stanley Yesikiewicz. James Miller and John Novak. Turning to the activities on the diamond we find once more Randall Bostick and William Merrill. Another leading star on the diamond from the Class of 1927 is Carlo Scavotto who cap- tained the team in his Senior year. Wilson Taylor, also of out- class, holds down the hot corner in excellent fashion. When Tay- lor is not on the job another excellent guardian of third base is Henry Cormier. Raymond Fanelli, another athletically inclined member of the Class of 1927, rounds out the nucleus of a fine base- ball team. In dramatics we have some very promising Thespians. While we were Juniors, the Dramatic Association, putting on a play en- titled “Bab” issued a call for candidates for parts. Many responded and although competition was keen several of the leading parts were awarded to membesr of the Class of 1927. Raymond White received the part of the leading man. Other members in the play were: Miss Althea Jones, Miss Ruth Dolan, Edward Foley, Deane Ingraham and George Crombie. We were also well represented when we became Seniors, the leading parts going to Hugh McCann and Miss Ruth Leggett. Subordinate parts were given to George Crombie, Jackson Green and Raymond Fanelli. The play, as you may recall, was the best ever given at Enfield. At the annual Prize-Speaking contests the Class of 1927 has been very conspicuous. Miss Louise Galimberti is our best orator having succeeded in capturing first prize for the last two years. She has had several close competitors, however, among them being Miss Jeannette Woodward, George Crombie and William Merrill. During our Senior year we have been conducting regular Fri- day afternoon Hops with great success both socially and financially. We banqueted the football team at the conclusion of their most successful season in which it tied Palmer for the championship of THE ENFIELD ECHO 43 the Twin-State conference. During- the year, Palmer High School was invited to Enfield by the Class of 1927 and a dance was held at which many of them attended. After the dance refreshments were served and a most enjoyable evening was spent. On the “Echo,” the school paper, we have just completed a very successful year. Miss Ruth Hughes acted as Editor-in-chief and was very ably assisted by Ruth Dolan, Ruth Leggett, Edith Gatto, Rosella Muldoon, David Erainard, William Merrill and Hugh McCann. Edward Abrahamson acted as Business Manager. Miss Louise Galimberti occupied the position of Secretary. The Class of 1927 also aided the cause of the “Echo” by securing subscriptions and advertisements. The High School Orchestra will feel keenly the loss the depart- ing class will inflict as several of its most valued members are from the Class of 1927. Miss Irene Rochette, Miss Marie Ringwald, Miss Helene Percival, Edward Abrahamson, Clark Carle and George Knight will play no more under the baton of Denslow King after the graduation exercises. Miss Irene Rochette was also president of the Enfield High Musical Association. Many students from the Class of 1927 were in the Glee Club so that the musical association will regret the passing of the Class of 1927 as much as any other single body. On May 20, 1927, the combined glee clubs put on the best operetta that has ever been shown in Enfield. The class of 1927 took a leading part in the presentation of this fine performance as Deane Ingraham, Louise Galimberti, Rosalie Mazzini, Clara Hamil- ton, Ruth Hughes, Elma Akerley, Dorothy King, Margaret Connor, Clark Carle, Edward Abrahamson, David Erainard and Matthew Sypek upheld the high reputation of the Class on the stage and Miss Helene Percival officiated at the piano during the entire entertainment. On June 16, the Class of 1927 will depart from the sheltering walls of the Enfield High School with hopes high and with a feel- ing that it has done its work as best it could. flrarl (ttmtfrrtuntmf SWEET AND SANITARY” Make this store your headquarters for Newspapers, Magazines, Confectionery, Ice Cream and Soda BARONIAN BROS. 106 Pearl Street THOMPSONVILLE Telephone 727 PLEASE PATRONIZE 01 R ADVERTISERS 44 THE ENFIELD ECHO aHuimpamtuilh' HOME-MADE CANDY “The Best Place to Eat” DELICIOUS COFFEE AND HOME COOKING 42 Pearl Street Thompsonville, Conn.
