THE ENFIELD ECHO 9 The Real Meaning of Thrift “Thrift is such a simple thing and it means so much. 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!
