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

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

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.”
