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. (Continued on ‘Pag.e $9)

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.
