12 THE ENFIELD ECHO the latest in Diners. Specialty “Ilroiled Steaks” and Inez has been elected as first school nurse in the town of Enfield. Here they come now would you have recognized them?” George—“I certainly wouldn’t have. They’ve all the charms of their youth.” Mary—“Well if here isn’t George Baronian! Why we haven’t seen you since the farewell dance back in ’28 have we? Where have you been keep- ing yourself?” George—“I’m very glad to see both of you again. Oh, I’m not doing much of anything new. Same old thing right over and over.” Howard—“Won’t you be seated?” Inez—“Yes, let’s sit down and have Howard tell us about his work in Astronomy. (They sit down) I should imagine you have had loads of thrill- ing experiences, Howard, reading horoscopes.” Howard—“I’ll say I have. Re- cently I’ve been studying my friends just as a pastime. (Turns to radio) Let’s see what’s on the air. (They put on head phones) Listen! Broad- casting achievements of the Class of 1928 of Enfield High School from station T-V-I-L-L-E. That just goes to prove how many important person- ages can be grouped in one class. And can you wonder—it was ours.” Chester Slater—Chester is earning his living as chief mattx-ess tester in “The Luxurious Mattress Concern”. His main business is to rest for half an hour on each mattress that leaves the factory. Strange to say he was an expert to start with. Donald Hibbard. Josephine Bent, Walter Moody, George Patterson, Sabath Nigro—Don is now a cotton plantation owner in the south and has been acquitted on a charge of beat- ing several cotton pickers with a horse whip, while in a fit of anger. Among the plaintiffs were, Josephine Bent, Walter Moody, and George Patterson. Donald claims they all fell asleep at their work, while the contestants insisted that they were simply working with their eyes closed to shut out the glare of the sunlight. The trial went to Supreme Court and was tried before the most digni- fied of justices, Sabath Nigro, whose decision of course, was irrevocable. Norbert Dunn—This is astounding! Dunn has been discovered giving aes- thetic dancing lessons to a group of girls on Waikiki Beach. He some- times soothes the tumult in his soul by dancing all alone by the sea on moonlight nights. He is noted for his grace and poise. Thelma Adams—Thelma has fore- saken the paths of the office and has joined the Ziegfield Follies. This month she is appearing in a special act in which she dances on her hands while with her feet she plays “God Save the King” on the Xylophone. Celestino Tina—Red Tina has star- tled the world by finding the fountain of youth. It is interesting to note that this world famous pool has been found by one who in high school days was noted for his youthful pastimes and attire. Julia Puckinsky—Julia has found farming to be a most lucrative busi- ness and her vegetables are now be- ing shipped as far as Afghanistan. Her most popular product is “Eyeless Potatoes” which now have world-wide distinction because of their excellence and partly because of the one who raised them. Edward Pianka, Dorothy Fleming —Eddie who many years ago demon- strated his genius as an inventor has lately secured a patent on an electric mouth organ. At a recent performance of the Sons and Daughters of “I Will Arise” Mile. Dorothy Fleming rendered several selections on this instrument —the technique of the instrument is in the fast manipulation of the ton- gue. Marshall Dockham—Mushy is known as the second “Pasteur” because of his accomplishments in the purifica- tion of milk. Because of his contri- butions in chemical analysis it is ex- pected that in two or three genera- tions the human race will reach the average height of seven feet. Raymond Baronian—Rav has just finished another series of his popular

XVI THOMPSONVILLE, CONN., JUNE 1928 NO. 6 ADDRESS OF WELCOME By Celestino Tina, President of Class Parents, Teachers and Friends: It is my pleasant duty, in the name of the Class of 1928 to extend to you a cordial welcome to our Class Night Program. Four years ago, when we entered as Freshmen, we all cherished an ambition, that is now about to be realized. We thought the time to be spent in high school would be endless, but now, as we review the past we find it has been all too short. The joyous days in Enfield are about to come to a close and we take this opportunity to show our gratitude of the happy hours we have spent here. The various members on the program have worked industriously on their respective parts, and we know all present will enter into the spirit, of what we hope will be an un- forgettable occasion. Again, in behalf of the Class of 1928 I welcome you here to enjoy these exercises. CLASS PROPHECY By Howard Bromage, Inez Stebbins, George Baronian, Mary Carroll George—“Good evening, Howard. I was certainly mighty glad to receive the invitation to this party. Really, I’m getting so old now I hardly ever expected to attend a real party again. Times have changed since we were in Enfield haven’t they?” Howard—“They certainly have, George. I suppose you are working as laboriously as ever.” George—“Oh yes, you see we are awfully busy now at the office. It seems as though everyone on the face of the earth is getting insured.” Howard—“Oh this insurance busi- ness is good stuff from all I hear.” George—“Have any other members of this party arrived?” Howard—“Oh yes, they’re all up stairs. And say you remember Mary Carroll and Inez Stebbins? I met them on the street a few days ago and invited them to come. Have you heard what they are doing?” George—“No, but it sounds inter- esting. What are they doing?” Howard—“Well, Mary is managing

THE ENFIELD ECHO 13 books for girls. Ray achieved great distinction through his novels and is also noted as the creator of “Aunt Adelaides Advice to the Lovelorn.” Mabel Goldthorpe—Mabel has foun- ded a girls’ seminary and is reported to have met with great success. It is perhaps the most strict institution of its kind in the world, for Miss Goldthorpe forbids dancing and all forms of parties and will not allow powder, rouge or any other cosmetics on the school grounds. Joint Daly—John has caused the stock market to fluctuate like the ocean because of his tremendous pro- fits from the manufacture of corn-cob pipes. There is an exaggerated story about, that he himself tries out each pipe before it leaves the factory, but we are not verifying that statement. Anna Cyganus, Doris Carson—The greatest thrill of Hollywood aspirants has been achieved by Anna and Doris having witnessed their names on the Great White Way. Hazel Iskiyan—Hazel is now a modiste in one of the most fashiona- ble of paris dress shops. Hazel al- ways did know how to dress. Carolyn Chillson—It is a well known fact that all things break down at some time or other. The Victor Talk- ing Machine Co., has employed Caro- lyn to cope with such emergencies. Ruth Cooley, Ethel Burnham—A cordial invitation has been extended to the classmates of Ruth Cooley to attend the horse show to be held on her ranch in Hot Springs. All the horses were trained under the direct supervision of Ruth and as an assist- ant the well known and capable Ethel Burnham. Louise McKowen—Tweezie is now submitting recipes to a verv noted paner which is used among the most exclusive families. “A Thousand Ways to Please Your Hubby.” Irene Wallace—Renie with her win- ning smile could conquer the world —however, she doesn’t care to do it as one would suppose. She has won the esteem, though, of nearly every- one through apnoarina in the sensa- tional hit—“Smiling Through”. Enis Testoni—Enis is still small but the girls at a certain Gym school think good things come in small pack- ages, for Enis has shown them she can’t be beaten in Gym at least. Ralph Schoppe, Charles Dutton— Ralph has certainly made something of himself. He is now Head of the State of Connecticut Department of Forestry and owns a great estate on Long Island, where Charles Dutton may be seen at any time working amid the springing flowers. Dorothy Euge, Elizabeth Best— Betty and Dorothy are still pals and where one is the other can be seen not far away. They are now teachers in Wellesley, Betty having charge of all laboratory work while Dorothy capably performs the work in the history department. Rose Martin—At a recent contest for soft voiced people, Rose Martin won first prize. The test was to see who could be the least heard at a distance of an arms length. Fannie Niemiec—Well, well to think our Fannie has won fame on the stage of Paris. She is the most loved of all opera stars in any house she enters. Her latest role is “Le Serin” (The Canary) gained for her the es- teem of every listening ear. Laura Norris—Laura has at last seen her name in print. She has re- cently completed a Review of Chaucer. Gertrude Lester—Gertie was the first one of our classmates to gain the distinction of “Mi's.” Can you beat that? Gertrude Phelps, Eleanor Percival —We alwavs knew Gertrude and Eleanor both wanted to be nurses and they have achieved through their ambitious natures just what we’d have them. Eleanor is Head Nurse in Boston City Hospital while Gert- rude is Vice-President of the same. Harold August—“Chick” is now a great real estate owner. He has many lots which he sells at reasonable rates to his friends. Possibly there’s a chance for some of us to get rich o”ick bv investing. Listen to this—He’s got one named “Patricia Park.” Betty Lemay—Betty has acouired much notoriety bv her persistent diet of Fleischmann Yeast. She now has the onportunity of seeing her picture in all the magazines in which the
