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.

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.

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.

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.

And can you wonder—it was ours.” Chester Slater—Chester is earning his living as chief mattx-ess tester in “The Luxurious Mattress Concern”.

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!
