Both serve a purpose—but not the same purpose. Even if your coal furnace could be automatically controlled to maintain a constant, uniform tempera- ture, you still would not have the real advantages of Petro Oil Heat. It’s not the relief from coal heat—but the thrill of Petro Oil Heat itself. It’s never having to think of heat—not in forgetting the heating plant. Not the novelty of having uniform temperature—but the modernness of never having anything else. The joy of having your house stay clean—not the freedom from cleaning house. Install a Petro Oil Burner. We will absolutely guarantee satisfaction and if for any reason the burner fails to live up to your expectations, we will remove the burner and restore the purchase price. Now is the best time to have your oil burner installed. Let us make a survey of your heating system and explain the details oi our unconditional guar- antee and our deferred payment plan.

It is the foundation of success in business, of content- ment in the home, of standing in society.” —RUSSELL SAGE. WEBSTER defines Thrift as “economical management, frugality, prosperity, success.” THERE are fewer words which have a bigger, broader, and a more far-reaching meaning than the word “THRIFT” and to get better acquainted with its real significance one can be proud to be called thrifty.

XVII THOMPSONVILLE, CONN., JUNE 1929 NO. 6 ADDRESS OF WELCOME (By Dominick Lepore, President of the Class) Parents and Friends: On behalf of the Class of 1929 I extend to you a most cordial and hearty welcome to these Class Night exercises. One of the glorious traditions of old Enfield is to provide for an evening of enjoyment previous to graduation. It is with this purpose in view that we offer for your entertainment sketches of humorous activities and events that have occurred. These remarks this evening will recall many happy moments spent during our four years here. The various committees have carefully prepared a happy climax for our high school career. We take this opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation to the parents, teachers, and friends who have helped us to attain our long-sought goal. Again I welcome you to the exercises of the evening. CLASS PROPHECY (By Ethel Drake, Claire Andre, Edwin Collins, Stuart Jordt) The Lakeside Country Club, after a game of tennis, (1950) Setting: (Enter Claire and Ethel) Chire—Gee! That was a perfect game! Ethel—Yes, if it weren’t so warm we could have played longer. I hope the ginger ale’s here. Claire—Oh, here it is already. Snappy service at this club, I’ll say. Ethel—I’m following ut women’s athletics—I see the athletes of our high school class have gained fame and fortune, for Helen Blonka came out the winner of the women’s high jump in this year’s Olympics. She is said to have reached a height of ten feet and has broken all previous rec- ords. Claire—Good for Helen! Cecelia Cummings and Helen Kearns believe in keeping a “perfect thirty-six”, so they have become instructors in the L. H. W. A., or the Ladies’ Heavy- Weight Association. The total mem- bership of this organization is 12 THE ENFIELD ECHO weighted as six and one-eighth tons, or two hundred and fifty pounds per member. Ethel—Well, you know, while 1 was in Chicago last summer, I visited the stadium there, and I saw a big husky boxer elbowing his way through the crowd rather roughly. It turned out to be Peter Cappozzi, and I learned from one of the bystanders that he had just conquered Jack Sharkey, Jr., in a one-sided bout. Claire—Did you ever think that the Yale football team could be defeated? Neither did I, but the impossible has happened. Morris King, the football coach of Princeton University, put out a team this year that completely crushed the Yale offensive and gal- loped over the goal line for easy vie- (Enter Collins) Collins—Hello, girls. Well, say, it’s a long time since I’ve seen you folks. I was looking for you this morning— Claire—Oh, by the way, have you seen or heard anything of Robert Gourlie lately? Collins—Yes, while I was in Wash- ington this year I heard that Robert was representing the state of Conn- ecticut as a Senator. He was very in- fluential in passing a law whereby every pedestrian was required to blow his horn before crossing the street. As I passed by the White House, I hoard a stentorian voice, and upon investigation, I found that it was Jo- seph August, arguing with the Presi- dent that high school English courses should be made more elaborate. Ethel—Isn’t this a great day to play golf? Look at that sky—not a cloud in it! Claire—No, but there’s something else in it—see that airplane over there. It’s landing—and who’s that coming toward us? Collins—Well of all things—it’s Petie Jordt. You know, he’s chief clown for Hunt’s Airplane Circus. He must be on a vacation. Well it’s a hard job trying to be funny all the time. (Enter Jordt) Jordt—Well look who’s here. I thought you looked familiar, but I changed un before I came to investi- gate Well, what have you been doing all these years? I heard Claire sing- ing in the Metx-opolitan Opera House in New York about three years ago. I was quite surprised to hear her name on everyone’s lips. By the way, Ed, what have you been doing to keep yourself alive? Collins—Well, you know, since striking oil down on my poultry farm in Wallop, I made quite a fortune, and naturally I have quite a lot of leisure time. I spend it by traveling. I’ve heard that Ethel has become quite successful as a commercial artist for the firm “Liftum Bustum”, furni- ture manufacturers in Tallahassee, Florida. Jordt—Say, Ed, which member of the class of 1929 has the most promi- nent position? Collins—That’s a hard question to answer—let’s see—there’s John H. Lyons, who has become a noted lec- turer and has just finished a round- the-world lecturing tour. His subject was “Reduce, Ye Rebels”. It rivals Russell Conwell’s “Acres of Dia- monds”. Mr. Lyons is so enthusiastic over his subject that he really prac- tices what he preaches. Ethel—Well, how about our class actress? I found her employed as instructor in Dramatics at the new Hicliff College—none other than Nel- lie Phelps. Claire—The chief dietitian of that college is Mary Stinson, and Mary sees that the students get the proper number of calories each day. Jordt—Well, there’s Lucien Glazier making his pile by beautifying the faces of the young women of the coun- try. When better beauty creams are made, Lucien will make them. Ethel—And Ethlyn Connell is still an artist—she draws the ads for Lu- cien’s beauty products, and her prin- cipal model is Mary Quinn. Mary must have kept that schoolgirl com- plexion. Jordt—Well, that’s nothing, I saw in the paper this morning that Dom- inic Lepore had resigned his position as “Good Will” ambassador to become President of the Republic of Peru. And here’s another one. You remem- ber Bonelli back in E, H R.. don’t vou9 Well he’s the big political boss in Tuttleville. Maine, now erd has announced his intention to uphold the THE ENFIELD ECHO 13 18th Amendment to the best of his ability. Collins—Just last week I read in the “Chili Times” that Angela Turrin has opened a crocodile farm in Brazil. She is now engaged in the prosperous business of exporting crocodile tears for use in the theatrical business. She has employed Elsie Steele as her right-hand man. Elsie’s job is to col- lect the tears in porcelain containers. This is quite a difficult accomplish- ment as the crocodiles must be gently flicked under the chin with an ostrich feather, while at the same time, the crucibles are held under their eyes. Jordt—Quite a ticklish job, I should say. But still, I don’t think it is any more important than— Claire—You fellows stop your argu- ing. You talk so much that Ethel and I can’t get a word in edgewise. Ethel—Yes, who would have thought that Bertha Lucas and Helen Nasuta would be found at the head of the Killemquic Hospital for incura- bles! So far they have been very suc- cessful. and they have recently added Anna Norris to their staff of first- class trained nurses. Claire—That’s good! While I wa° traveling in France last summer, I happened to visit the Dupuis Hall of Fine Arts, and I came across one of the prize masterpieces of the season, just completed by Eunice Green. She was formerly one of the starving ar- tists of Greenwich Village. The paint- ing was entitled “The Awakening.” Collins—Speaking of Paris suc- cesses, Dorothy Baumes has been hailed as one of the foremost dress designers of the day. Dot certainly was clever, though she never exploited her talents. The gowns are displayed exclusively by Florence Haginski, Paris’ most graceful manneouin Jordt—I tuned in on Station W. E. A. F. last night and what do you sup- pose I heard? The announcer was just introducing the “Snappy String Quar- tet” and it was led by Virginia Hv- land. Next came our old classmate, Eunice McGuire, who has become a very popular favorite with radio au- diences. She certainly can sing and she was accompanied on the piano by Edith Smith, the musician of old ’29. Quite a reunion of our class—and the announcer turned out to be Caroline Comstock. I thought there was some- thing familiar about that voice. Ethel—Quite a coincidence! But, speaking of musicians, you know Phil Dowd is now manager of the Babylon Theater in Chicago, but he doesn’t believe in bothering himself with de- tails so he leaves his correspondence entirely in charge of his very efficient private secretary, Welle Farnham. Now to return to the program—Phil always puts on a good program— Frank Javorski was singing “My Dream of Love”, a very beautiful song composed by Margaret Knight. It is said that two-thirds of Hie au- dience was made up of women! Then we heard Billie Hughes and his Jazz Joy Boys, not the least jazzy and joy- ous of whom is our old friend, Emil Baiek Claire—Did you hear that Helen Olmsted has just expounded a new theory on evolution that is causing a great deal of comment in the scien- tific world? She maintains that cer- tain observations she made while in high school led her to doubt whether some of the human species had yet evolut.ionized. Collins—Francis Connell certainly lives on Easy Street—that should suit him perfectly. He is running a very unique club called the “Rest Club.” and the most important members are Jimmie Rowan, Stanley Trachimowicz, and Dougie Thompson. Jordt—Well, who do you suppose is the architect of the new high school being built in Enfield? Chester Brain- ard! And helping him is Klemens Kalva, as electrical engineer, who, be- sides having charge of all the wiring in the building, has the dangerous iob of putting nuts on all the thunder- bolts. Claire—I see Louise Wadsworth is still up to her old tricks. She’s a newspaper critic, and one much feared by producers, as a plav succeeds or fails on her criticisms. I’ve heard that she has been offered tremendous bribes, but refuses to accept them, as she believes in saying exactly what she thinks! Ethel—Well, she’s running true to form. And where do you suppose I found Billie Pryce? He is emploved as a tester in a mirror factory. His job is to try all mirrors before they 14 THE ENFIELD ECHO leave the factory to see if they reflect flatteringly. He must have had plenty of practice! Jordt—While in Hollywood I saw a very dashing young man ride by in his Rolls-Royce. I wondered who he was, so I asked a passing pedestrian, who informed me that it was Ray Blodgett, a very promising movie hero, recently come into stardom. Collins—Florestine Sharon is man- ufacturing the latest in footwear, and has made millions from her remarka- ble invention of “Non-Squeak Shoes.” As might be expected, Florestine needs an expert accountant to take care of her business, and this place is capably filled by Mildred Lord. Claire—Doris Leger is winning hon- ors in the field of aviation, and she is the first person to complete a non- stop flight around the world. Doris is very modest about her achievement and insists that her success was en- tirely due to her mechanic’s care of her plane. This marvelous mechanic, it seems, is also a woman, none other than Clara Pelky. Ethel—We found Loris Stratton at the head of a large organization of chain restaurants, which she manages personally. One of her latest special- ties is a delicious concoction composed chiefly of fried lobsters. This is said to account for the popularity of her restaurants. Jordt—Passing through the metrop- olis of Talcotville, I beheld a flagrant sign-board, proclaiming the coming popular and pleasing presentation, “Naughton’s Naughty Niceties”, un- der the direct supervision of Joe Naughton. Starring as his leading lady was Miss Lorraine Gaudette, who is known throughout the country for her extraordinary acting. Claire—Matthew Alaimo is running the Boston Public Market and in order to give the customers ouality as well as service he has installed one of his new hot air refrigerators sold by Al- bert Bielitz. Mr. Bielitz supplies the hot air himself and maintains that one filling will last a lifetime. Collins—I heard that Mary McCann is the editor of one of the foremost newspapers of the world. She at- tained her great success by editing a paper containing thirty-two funny sheets, because she believes the public should laugh more. Naomi Thompson, I found, was a French teacher in the Y. M. H. A., or Young Men’s Hebrew Academy. She says that her students always attend strictly to BUSINESS. Ethel—Have you heard what Al- bert Phelps is doing? Everybody—No! Ethel—Well, he has become a pro- fessor of chemistry in E. H. S. since Miss Storrs has resigned. Mr. Robert Welch and Mr. Reveruzzi have formed a partnership and are running the “I Catchum You Skinum Advertising Agency. Their motto is “An ad for every fad”, and it is said that they are quite successful. Claire—Evelyn Kaminski is now the World’s Champion Shorthand Writer. She has set a record of 500 words a minute. I wonder who her dictator is. It must be Caroline Com- stock. Have you heard what Wallace Chevalier is doing? They say he is making good in the dairy business. Jordt—How is that? Claire—Oh, he connected a pipe to the milky way and now he supplies all New York with milk. Jordt—Claire Sloane has become quite a business woman and is now owner of the Makumover Beauty Salon in New York, which specializes in face-lifting. Her expert manicur- ist, we find to be Mary Raffia. Collins—Michael Liucci has startled the people of the world and created a sensation among the young men of the country by placing upon the market for the first time in history, a sham- poo, which will transform a brunette into a blonde within one week. Ethel—Francis Uzell has just fin- ished the arduous task of learning the Chinese language and has sailed for that country to take up a position as telegraph operator. Claire—Charlotte Schoppe’s new book, advocating six meals a day, has quite upset the leading scientific and medical authorities, and Ruth Pease has just made her first matrimonial venture. She has become the wife of Reverend I. M. Good. Jordt—That quiet little city of Chi- cago has another Mayor Thompson. Thus time it is little Bill Thompson. Claire—Has he stopped the gang war there? Jordt—Heavens, no! He has to con- THE ENFIELD ECHO 15 centrate all his time on giving the city earthquake protection. Collins—The other day I looked in the “American Magazine” and came across an advei'tisement by Joseph Novak, who was subjecting himself to the grilling work of an undertaker. The advertisement read “Our spe- cialty, school teachers, principals, and superintendents.” Claire—What do you think of our Ranch Woman, Anna Labutis? She is taming bucking bronchos on her ranch in Colorado. Ethel—Anna Welch is now practis- ing dentistry in Gum City, Idaho. Be- cause of her cheerful disposition she finds she can dispense with the use of laughing gas. Jordt—These people’s ears surely should be burning now, after all this discussion! Collins—Well, it’s certainly hot enough here. Jordt—I tell you. What do you say we take a spin in my plane over the Sound and New York City, to get the breeze? Ethel—Are you sure there is room for all of us? Jordt—Most certainly is. It will hold six as big as you. Claire—That’s great! Come on, everybody, let’s go! CLASS JINGLES (By Doris Leger and Joseph August) We’ve attempted to write a jingle About each one in class, But if you criticize too much— We’re sure they’ll never pass. First in line is Matty Who works in a grocery store; We certainly need not wonder Why girls go there by the score. Miss Phelps does her homework As all good girls should, And that’s the reason why— Her marks are so very good. Edwin is a farmer boy With a willing disposition; He performs ’most any task To show he’s full of ambition. She isn’t tall; she isn’t stout; She surely is “petite;” I am sui’e that you’ll agree— Welle is very sweet. Albert is so very quiet That I almost passed him over: When e’er you see a group of girls You’ll never see Albert hover. Evelyn does her lessons well Every single day, And when called upon in class Answers without delay. Glazier is a dapper lad, Country born and bred; He’s the light of Hazardville, So we have heard it said. Miss Stinson is quite ambitious; In class she takes the cup As she rattles off her answers Like a phonograph wound up. Billy Hughes is a great musician; He plays with all his zeal; That’s why our school orchestra Has so much “sex”-appeal. Ethlyn is charming— We’ll all admit, With her laughing brown eyes Which bespeak keen wit. Oh Wallace is a tiny lad Who hails from a nearby ville; He drives a great big car To give the girls a thrill. Raymond comes from Warehouse Point; He is our curly head: We wonder if it’s blushes That make his cheeks so red. Florence comes from Wevmouth A place not far from school, And she’s the type of girl Who never breaks a rule. Everyone knows Philip; He really is very proud; 16 THE ENFIELD ECHO He thinks he is the only one— No matter how large the crowd. We’ve a Mary in our class With great large baby eyes; And would you believe it? Our Mary is quite wise. Now we have Joe August One of the good-looking boys; He always is so good-natured; We hope he’ll have many joys. Naomi is a worker In school, at play, at home; She’ll never be a shirker No matter where she’ll roam. Why, Pilgrim, here you are You, bad mischievous boy! We’ve never seen you When you were without a toy. There came a girl from Somers To join our Senior class; L-he’s one of the “up and comers:” Miss McCann is the name of the lass. Now who is next but Eunice A girl of many moods; She advocates that Mellon’s Is the best of student foods. Dorothy Baumes is so quiet I almost let her pass, Rut we surely all agree We need her in our class. Francis Connell is so shy He seems like a quiet child. But in a place called Somersville They say he’s not so mild. Cecelia likes baseball games As all of us well know; But is there some other attraction That makes her want to go? We know that Klemens Kalwa Will leave Enfield with a tear, But why not take a P. G. course, To be with her next year? A second Sara Teasdale Among our ranks is seen, And Ethel has never written Anything that was mean. Liucci is quite snappy, And is really a very nice “beau;” That’s what someone tells us And that someone ought to know. We have a person in our midst Claire Andre is her name; It she continues to sing so well We’re sure she’ll win great fame. Slow motion Doug Should be his name; From walking fast He’ll ne’er be lame. Next in line is Kingy A performer of great feats; What could we do without him— Since he wins at all our meets. Claire is quite attractive With her pretty smile, And we know there’s someone Whom she tries to beguile. “Shummy” has a little Ford Which rambles near and far, And after all is said and done It’s sure a “Rattling” good car. Next comes Helen Blonka Who is always full of pep, And when it comes to dancing She never misses a step. For filling the place of President No other can beat Lepore; We wonder when it comes to girls— If he holds as high a score. Now when it comes to talking Caroline Comstock does shine, For this little Miss from Somers Certainly has some line. Virginia is very popular And as cute as she can be, Pm sure the boys in Enfield High Will all agree with me. Of all our anti-prohibitionists Bonelli takes the lead; Just put him on a soap box For that is all he needs. Miss Welch is quite a talker On all subjects, it is said, But we’re quite sure that no one Will be by her misled. Javorski and his charming looks Deserve our special mention; No matter where our Francis goes The girls pay him attention. THE ENFIELD ECHO 17 Miss Raffia comes from Wallop, But that doesn’t cramp her style; That girl sure knows her dancing And Oh, Boy! What a smile! To talk to all the girlies Is to Bielitz a treat. And when he starts his sheiking He has John Gilbert beat. Next comes Joe Naughton My! how he curves the ball; Of all the great pitchers We like him best of all. “Track’s” hair is red; His eyes are blue; He’s chuck-full of fun, And mischief, too. She’s tall and slim. And very sweet; It’s Miss Gaudette— We’d like you to meet Chester is ambitious— Always with a book; And to the girlies He never gives a look. Our stately “Cappo”— Of footfall fame. Crashes the line And makes a gain. A bewitching smile— A sparkling eye— Angela uses To make the blues fly. Boris likes her office work: At this she spends her day: when she get a steady job. We’re sure shell earn her pay. A business manager was needed. And who do ymi think wj c found? We thought this cry unheeded TiE Gourlie «came around. We have two “red heads” in our class Just now well sneak of one: His name is Bob: be’ tall and slim And always full of fun. Francis doesn’t waste his time As do the .other boys: He labors on Ms father's farm But dreams off other , oys. Who is Charlotte’s hero? Guess him if you will; We think it’s Uncle Wiggly For she seldom does sit still. Hark! what’s that noise resounding Which rises to a din; Why it’s only Emil Bayek Blowing on his “tin”! We’re never sad when Helen’s near Her laugh is so contagious; We’re sure she shouldn’t fool so much For it’s most outrageous. Anna, Bertha, and Mildred Are trying to get thin; Each shows her talent rare, Before Miss Ryan in the gym. Stuart is our class actor And also our class clown; We all are very sure He’ll win great renown. Elsie’s very quiet And never talks in school; She tries very hard To keep the golden rule. William Thomnson is a modest lad Within the bounds of school: But should vou meet him elsewhere, You’d find he likes to fool. A «nrl that we know— By the name of Louise Is always most cheerful And not hard to please. Did you ever see a fashion plate Or an actor on a rover We have one to fill the b ll— It’s Pryce, our movie lover. Eunice is our Prima Donne: She really sings ouite well— And after each performance We think that she’s quite “swell ” Now Hesley isn’t slim— Just a little stout; There’s not a thing in Histon,’ That he doesn’t know about. This estimate of Margeret Knight We offer without shrinking; It is that we deplore the time. She’s known to waste in prinking.

THE ENFIELD ECHO 37 CLASS HISTORY (By Emil G. Bayek) I suppose that all of you expect me to tell you what a wonder- ful class this is, but I am not going to because you already know what a marvelous class we have here. It was late in September when this class of one hundred and twenty-five illustrious grammar school graduates gathered here to be the first class to go into this new building. I’ll tell you that it must have been a treat for the Seniors to watch us seemingly small Freshmen trying to act grown- up, but we really were scared. Do you remember that wonderful time we had on our sleigh-ride? We were away from the other classes and that alone made us enjoy ourselves. I don’t suppose that you will forget the class picnic and the rainy weather we had, but in spite of that we enjoyed ourselves more than ever. Finally came the day when we ended our timid Freshmen days and brought that frightful year to a close. Not three months later, we returned to our beloved Enfield. Those days of being stepped on by the other classes were gone, and we really were what we would have liked to have been while we were Freshmen. That year, we welcomed Mr. Lee, our present Principal, to the school. From that day to this, he certainly has proved to be as efficient as he was said to be. Indeed, we were glad to have him as our Principal. Under the guidance of Lepore, our trustworthy President, we managed to get through this studious year. Let us say studious because of the interest we all had in our school work. We were fascinated by the peculiar sayings of Mr. Churchill; we admired the personality of the never tiring Miss Keniston; and we wondered at the great influence of the other wonderful, yes I must say ‘won- derful’, teachers to make us learn anything. It certainly is a won- der that some of the teachers did not burst into a fit of rage be- cause of our stupidity. After this apparently dull, but studious year, everything seemed to grow brighter as we moved up one more step to success. We were Juniors and were we proud of it? Not much! It was dur- ing this year that we discovered what stars we had in all lines of athletics. Naughton, Cappozzi, Thompson, and August were cer- tainly starring for us when it came to playing the game. Then we received gladly a newcomer, Morris King, a rugged Vermonter who proved to be a remarkable athlete. Then there was Bielitz, in still another line of athletics never taken part in before by this school, who won the swimming championship of the State in his respective class for three consecutive years. Credit must be given to persons who took part in other activ- ities of the school. No more will Hughes and Miss Smith shine un- der the baton of Mr. King. I should like to ask what would have 38 THE ENFIELD ECHO become of the previous year’s dance orchestra, if Hughes or Luicci were not there with his peppy style of playing. In 1928 the play entitled “The Patsy”, was given. Two Jun- iors, Nellie Phelps and Joe Naughton, took leading parts in this. Unusual credit must be given to Nellie Phelps for her extraordin- ary ability in acting. The social affair of the year, which everybody was looking forward to, the Junior Prom, was successful both financially and socially, and not only the Juniors but the whole school admitted it. Then came that last step in our high school career which all of us were looking forward to. We were Seniors, supposedly dig- nified. Ah, the friendships and friendly hatreds, the defeats and triumphs of that famous year will never be forgotten. We all tried our best to study at the beginning of this event- ful year, but I imagine that no one did study much. Quite a few people had spring fever, or at least claimed to have it, in January. Well, anyway, that’s what the excuses were. In spite of all these handicaps however, we went through a very successful year. The first thing that attracted our attention, was the after- noon hops which were ably conducted. Excellent music was fur- nished by “Bill” Hughes and his Serenaders. What a surprise! Almost everyone ventured to dance, and only the very timid sat out the dances. E. H. S. Basket Ball Team THE ENFIELD ECHO 39 Then athletics were all our thoughts again. Not only did the old stars shine, but the new ones—Rowan, Jordt, and Javorski— shone brightly. We frankly admit that the most popular athletes belong to this class. Again, the extraordinary genius of certain members of this class was brought forth in the school production, “The Show Off”. Again another leading character was portrayed by Nellie Phelps. Jordt and Luicci, both of no mean ability, took prominent parts. For the first time, a minstrel show was given by the Hi-Y Club, in which many Seniors took active parts. This proved to be a superb affair. The feminine ability of the class was displayed by Claire Andre and Mary Quinn. Of course we mustn’t forget the Operetta, “Riding Down The Sky”, and how successfully certain Seniors carried out their parts. All praise must be given to Javorski, Miss McGuire, and Jordt. You must admit that both Javorski and Miss McGuire had good reasons for falling in love with each other. No doubt Cappozzi looked tough enough as a Revolutionist to have scared any one in the day time, let alone at night. I don’t believe a more Spanish scene could have been produced even in Mexico. This year Charles Bonelli, who won the Prize-speaking con- test, represented the Enfield High School at the Prize Speaking Contest at the High School of Commerce in Springfield. The name of his essay was “The Constitution.” Two other Seniors, Nellie Phelps and Mary Stinson, won second place and honorable men- tion respectively. I sincerely believe that this class has set a good example, ath- letically, dramatically, socially, educationally and in many other ways that have helped to make us brilliant students, true and loyal to our Alma Mater. Class Jingles [Continued fiom ‘Page ly] Novak is a quiet lad, As quiet as can be, Except when he gets flirting, Which is most of the time, you see. Loris is so very quiet We hardly know she’s here; And Edith, with her music Reaches most far and near. Besides fine girls of every sort We have within our class A Miss Nasuta— Who’s a very merry lass. She giggles from morn to night This girl of whom I speak; Her name is Clara Pelky And she’s very, very neat. Florestine is a busy lass; She works most of the time, And anything she has to do. Is sure to be just fine. Helen is a blue-eyed blonde; For flirting she’s a flair; But when it comes to poetry The results are truly rare. Now Ruth seems shy, But do not judge by looks; For her chief task Is not in studying books. And last in line is Anna Norris Who comes from a nearby town; She’s a quiet miss And never been known to clown. A verse we’ve tried to write For every single one; Please don’t feel hurt ’Cause ’twas done in fun. 40 THE ENFIELD ECHO CLASS WILL (By Joseph Naughton) Teachers, Schoolmates, and Friends: It was my sorrowful duty to have you assemble here tonight to hearken to the last will and testimony of the class of 1929. As counsel for the deceased, I have the honor and privilege of making a just and fair distribution of the rich stores of wisdom and worldly possessions according to the terms of my unfortunate client’s will. Trembling on the brink of life’s greatest experience, realizing our life can be prolonged but a few short days, it behooves us, the class of ’29, to give careful consideration of the dispensation of our possessions in accordance with the terms of this our last will and testimony, hereby declaring null and void any wills or statements contracted previous to this date. First—Desiring that our farewell exercises from this school be in complete and full accord with all long established traditions, we earnestly request that our mortuary exercises be under the saga- cious management of our Principal and long suffering Faculty. Second—To our honorable Faculty, our appreciation for their earnest efforts and cooperation to promote our scholastic, social and athletic affairs and make them a resounding success; also we give our hearty thanks for the many detention slips received. Item—To the class of 1930, the dignity and stateliness of the present Seniors. We think you should drop your childish ways and try to act more mature. Item—To the athletes of next year a chance to take a hot shower, but please keep the windows closed while doing so. Item—To our esteemed teachers a chance to attend summer school to take a course in the training of dumb animals in order that they may be able to train next year’s Seniors. Item—To the class of 1930 we leave the unsolved problem of who placed the dead mouse in Miss Meyer’s desk. Certain Seniors say they will name the culprit after they receive their diplomas. Item—To Mr. King a complete orchestra for next year’s oper- etta. Item—To the Science Department we leave five gallons of per- fume to sprinkle about the building after making hydrogen sulphide in the Chemistry laboratory. Item—Sincerely, we make the following bequests in good faith, trusting they will be received in the same spirit, 1. To the school the task of finding a new manager for future dramatic productions. When Lyons leaves, so does his speaking ability, and he is quite a large person to replace. 2. To McFawn, Red Track’s ability to get away with murder generally and Red’s skill at bluffing in class. 3. To Mr. Reynolds we leave a large cowbell in order that THE ENFIELD ECHO 41 E. H. S. Foot Ball Team he may command the Seniors to be quiet without shouting himself hoarse. 4. To Boucher Smith and Jean Jandreau we leave the love light which Wilson Pryce and Izzy Steele kept burning so brightly. 5. To Shrimp Schiana, a pair of stilts to enable him to see what’s going on without the necessity of climbing people’s backs. 6. To Teddy Lockwood, we leave Bajak’s ability to turn the wedding march into the tin pan parade when playing in the orches- tra. 7. To Mr. Brown of our faculty we bequeath a horse and buggy to replace his broken hearted Lizzie. 8. To Lebeshebski, Ray Blodgett’s good looks and bashful- ness, but we reserve Ray’s athletic ability until Louie proves him- self an athlete. 9. To Alec Tenero, Cappozzi’s fighting spirit, but use it on the field, not against the referee. 10. To Bernie Underwood we leave Joe August’s great affin- ity for wild women. 11. To Myron Potter we leave Chick Bonelli’s loud voice and his theory that the louder you holler when you recite the better mark you receive. 12. To Eddie Jacobs we leave King’s ability to throw the shot- put and also his great ability to throw the bull. 42 THE ENFIELD ECHO 13. To Gen Garvey we leave the song “I Want Mon Homme.” 14. To John Sullivan we leave Phil Dowd’s vanity and his theory that he is “God’s Gift to the Women.” Item—We hereby appoint the worthy Principal of the afore- mentioned school to act as sole executor of this will and last testa- ment. In witness thereof we the class of 1929 set our hand and seal this seventeenth day of June in the Year of our Lord 1929. Signed: Witnesses: JOSEPH NAUGHTON, MISS GAY Specialist in wills. MISS STORRS BOB MITCHELL ADVICE TO THE UNDERGRADUATES (By Hesley Lyons) Undergraduates of Enfield High School: Now that we Seniors have spent four years in Enfield High School, we consider ourselves duly qualified to give some much needed advice to our more un- fortunate fellow-savages, the Undergraduates of the School. First, I will take you all as a whole. As an entity your actions are no better than can be expected of persons who are not entirely responsible for their actions. You do not seem to have any respect for your more civilized cousins, the Seniors; you do not even seem to realize that they exist. That is one thing that should be called to mind, and now that you have been reminded of it, I hope that you will respect next year’s Senior class, although it is not worthy of respect. It will look much better and make them feel superior anyway. I would also like to advise you to serve your detention slips next year better than you have this present one, and it would be fitting for you to burn more of the midnight oil, not for detective stories, but for Latin, Math, and other subjects that are beloved by all. Now I am going to give advice to all the classes separately, and naturally I will start with the lowest ebb of civilization, the Juniors. Juniors: I advise you to keep away from the Senior girls for they are reserved for Seniors only, and some day there may be a Senior who will lose his self-control, and then there will be need of an ambulance. You should study your History better than you have in the past, for I know you would enjoy it much more. Since you will be occupying our seats in room 26 next year, I will let you in on a secret. Do not buy any gum for next year, because you will be able to find plenty of it under the seats and desks in room 26. THE ENFIELD ECHO 43 It might be a little hard, but it will soften up with a little chewing. Juniors, you should not stay out so late nights, for I have noticed a number of your class coming to school very late in the morning— one thing that must be remedied before you take our place in room 26. You are lazy, brainless, and thoughtless, and you seem to con- sider yourselves the heart and soul of this school—a grave mistake, indeed. But since you will soon attempt to occupy our position in this school, I hope you will change your ways and attitude, and make a fairly decent Senior class. It will mean a great deal of work and effort on your part to reach that goal. Sophomores: You are our only hope, but you are no exception. You consider yourselves the most superior persons, and bully the poor, unsuspecting Freshmen. Now I want you to understand that you are only considered advanced Freshmen by the Seniors, so you see you are not as superior as you feel. You can scarcely be distin- guished from Freshmen. The only way we can recognize you is to determine the most foolish and then we know the Sophomores. You have not shown a great deal of school spirit, but considering your size and position, we discover that you have shown ten times as much as the Juniors and Freshmen combined. Sophomores, to you we are looking for our actors, debators, and musicians of the future, so do not fail us for you will some day be Seniors. I know that you will also help make the Echo a success and bring it back to life after next year’s Senior class gets through with it. Keep on trying, and I know you will not fail Enfield High. I have left the poor, insignificant Freshmen until last, because outside of the Juniors you are the most troublesome, and as a whole the worst class in the History of this School. You are insolent to your superiors, the Upperclassmen. You make peculiar looking figures on your textbooks, and make a mess out of things in gen- eral. I think that the initiation of the Freshmen this year was a very fortunate event, for it took the smartness from some of you, and made you realize that you were not half as important as you considered yourselves. I would advise some of you Freshmen to take yeast or some other thing that will help you to grow physically and mentally. I am also going to advise you to study more dili- gently, so that you will have more names on the honor and high honor roll. Undergraduates: We have just spent four fruitful years in this school, and have come to love it and its associations. Now that we have come to the time when we must leave Enfield High, we want to wish you the best of luck and hope you will make it a better school than ever. I would like you to remember a bit from our school song: “For the friendships that ne’er can be broken, Stronger grow from year to year.” 44 THE ENFIELD ECHO RESPONSE TO SENIORS (By Myron Potter, ’30) Graduating Class of Enfield High: Now that we have patiently and courteously tolerated your childish and disappointing literary efforts, we shall relieve our minds and teach you something you didn’t learn in any of your scholarly pursuits. First: We admit that when you were in the lower classes of civilization, your manners were so gallant, you studied so late and diligently, were always so quiet, and above all never wasted time taking care of others’ business, that the Faculty always mistook you for Seniors. You’re right, Seniors. You are entitled to the respect of the lower classes for the hard work you did during the past year in Room 26 keeping the dust off the seats, so they would be in good condition for the next Senior class. As far as detention slips are concerned, I’d better tell you a little story about people who live in glass houses. If you cannot grasp the significance of that statement, we will elucidate and in- form you that if you do live in glass houses, don’t throw stones. In regard to the fair members of your class, you needn’t lose any sleep worrying about the Junior boys giving you too much competition. You should give them credit for more sense than that. I believe that the Juniors are satisfied with the members of their own class. I’ve reached the conclusion that you would have been much better off, Seniors, if you had used your hard-earned money for reference books instead of enriching William Wrigley. He has enough to meet his income tax, and if you feel so philanthropical, why not spend your money on books entitled “Brains and How to Use Them.” The Sophomores have asked me to thank you for your flattery, and at the same time to inform you that if your class is an example of ideal students they would rather be Sophomores than Seniors. They also feel confident that they can supply all the talent you need in the line of debating, dramatics, music and other fine arts, all of which are unfamiliar to the Senior class. In behalf of the Freshmen I would like to say that you are in error in stating that they are disrespectful. If you think they are insolent to you, Seniors, remember that they are only reciprocating. In explaining those queer figures on their books, they were put there to amuse the Seniors, who borrow Freshman books, while they are supposed to be studying History in Room 18. But after all, Seniors, we are sorry to lose you, for you have been a good class with much spirit, and have furnished much talent for the various activities.
