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;

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-

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.
