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

 CLASS OF 1927—ENFIELD HIGH SCHOOL

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
