XVIII THOMPSONVILLE, CONN., JUNE 1930 NO. 6 ADDRESS OF WELCOME (By Myron (Elliott Potter, Jr.) Parents and Friends: On behalf of the class of 1930 I take great pleasure in welcom- ing you here this evening to participate in our class night exercises. In providing an evening of entertainment and fun prior to our graduation we are following an old custom of our school, and the committees in charge of this occasion have endeavored to uphold the standards set by former classes. The mock-serious program about to be presented will recall many memories of the lighter and less serious events incidental to our four years’ quest of knowledge. May we take this opportunity to express our thanks to our parents, teachers, and friends—to all who have helped and guided us through the past four years so that we might be able to face the world or to continue with our education, as the case may be. Again, let me welcome you here to our class night exercises. CLASS PROPHECY (By Jeanne Middelaer, Stanley Petkis, Eileen Tromley, Leroy Lamont) Jeanne (dressed as an Indian sor- ceress) is sitting before a tent gazing intently into a ring which she wears on her fourth finger. Lamont enters, greets her and jumps up on a high box. He shouts: Ladies and gentlemen! Right this way! See the eighth wonder of the world. Imagine yourself in far off India where magic is woven into life itself—now back to New York where Madame X has consented to weave her magic for you. The greatest marvel of this day and age! Hear the past, present and future read by means of this magic ring which you see. Come one, come all. Hear Madame X. Come! Come! Come! Stanley enters, gazing curiously and in an abstract manner at every- thing. He stumbles, so wrapped up in thought. Recognizes Lamont, goes up and shakes hands with him. Leroy—Why, Stan Petkis! What in the world are you doing here? Stan—Me? Oh, I’m looking for at- mosphere for my new novel. This cer- tainly is an interesting place but so Class of 1930 THE ENFIELD ECHO 11 much noise! I’m glad I won’t have to put that in my novel. Leroy—You—a book worm! Well, well, life certainly is tricky. I’m glad to welcome you to our circus and hope you succeed in your quest for material. By the way, you haven’t forgotten Jeanne Middelaer, have you? She’s in the circus with us, acting as Madame X. Jeanne, you remember Stan, don’t you? Jeanne—Of course I do. How are you anyway? Stan—Oh, I’m fine, thanks. Say, that’s an odd looking ring you have. Where’d you get it? Jeanne—This is the ring with which I prophesy. In it I am ablo to see figures and all the events which are taking place. My uncle is a curio- hunter and brought this back from India for me. (Aeroplane motor heard outside.) Leroy—That must be Eileen Trom- ley. You know she’s the stunt flier with this circus. (Enter Eileen dressed as an avia- trix.) Eileen—Hello, folks Oh, I just had a perfect spin. Well, will you look who’s here. If it isn’t Stan Pet- kis! Who’d have thought we’d meet you at the circus. I haven’t seen you since the Farewell Dance back in 1930. What have you been doing with yourself? Stan—Oh, I’m just a novelist. I’m doing fairly well with my writing. I hear you’re doing quite a bit of fly- ing. Do you like it? Eileen—I just love it and I’m able to see a great deal of the world in the course of my travels. Leroy—By the way, you know Jeanne here is able to see things, present, past and future in her ring. Suppose we all take turns wearing it and perhaps we’ll be able to find out what each member of the class of 1930 is doing now. Together—Oh, let’s. That’s a good idea! Let’s do it right now. Jeanne, you begin. Jeanne—All right. (All gaze at the ring). Jeanne—Why! Here’s Patricia Col- lins. Remember the little darling? If she weren’t always bothering peo- ple she surely had the divine “gift of gab.’’ And now! Why our robust Pat has opened a shop starting the new fad for “Quick but Understand- able Speech.” Oh! Can you guess what? No, of course you can’t Anna Parakilas is dean of a business school for busi- ness like young ladies. Anna always did things right, with plenty of gig- gling. That must have a bad effect on her students if she has kept it up. And Bernard Underwood! My! the great husky baseball enthusiast. I guess that was only a passing fancy, for now he’s mayor of Somersville and has a very charming wife, form- erly Oh: well—you know that with- out my telling you. I see, Jeanie Jandreau is still as tiny as ever. She’s standing in front of why—it’s a charming home. She is the first of our class to be a Mrs. I always thought Jean had a liking for a “Certain Party.” She used to come to school singing, “Every Night is Wednesday Night for Me.” Can you imagine Gen Garvey in a school? Oh, but it’s a new school spe- cializing in an art in which Gen was quite adept in the old days! “How to Catch and Keep a Man!” Whew! She’ll soon have all the women pro- posing. Stan—Now let me take the ring. I say, why here’s Connie Baumes read- ing a book on “How to Put On Weight.” She’s planning to erect a camp on Enfield Street for tired busi- ness women. For the first time in history a girl has been chosen to act as coach for the boys in E. H. S. Miriam Carson has been chosen because of her knowl- edge of the boys. Elizabeth Crombie, who is inter- ested in all kinds of sports has con- sented to become the announcer for all the prize fights. She will succeed John S. Young, the former an- nouncer. D’Lorenzo is now the head of a large ship building concern, and guess what? Theresa Garini is his employ- ment agent. She chooses the sailors. She’s prejudiced against all dark- haired men. Doris White has made the center berth in the Girls All American Bas- ketball Team. This team is to repre- sent the U. S. in France next fall. 12 THE ENFIELD ECHO Let’s hope they are successful. I guess it’s your turn now, Eileen. Eileen—Have any of you seen Frank Rania lately? Here I see him at the head of a school for the deaf in Long Island. He has Kathleen Carroll as his assistant. You know both he and Kathleen were noted for being “loud speakers” in E. H. S. Doris Cormier is at the head of L’Adoree Salon in New York City and is acting as her own model. In her stunning designs she has far sur- passed the famous Worth and Lanvin models which thrilled the fashion world until Doris’ arrival. You all remember George Davis, don’t you? He recently made a great scientific discovery whereby “red” ap- pears “Green” to some people because of certain ultra-beige rays. While taking Chemistry back in E. H. S. one memorable day Miss Storrs asked him the color of a rine tomato. George said “green” so Miss Storrs slid she thought it was he who was “green.” He certainly has made use of his Chemistrv. And folks, did you know Florence Galbraith has become the most fa- mous parachute jumper in the world? She recently won world-recognition when she made a jump from my plane at an altitude of 25.000 fe- t. dropping 22,000 feet before pulling the rip-cord of her parachute. And boy! What a jump that was! I met Edward Gwozdz in England last summer. I see he has become a second Commander Byrd and has made several trips to both the North and South poles. Wouldn’t you like to try your luck with the ring, Le? Leroy—Sure let me try and sec what I can see. Anna Pnwelcik seems to have taken to the circus, too, for here she is danc- ing on her toes on the back of a mov- ing horse. Mary Malley is making a fortune, making and selling holeless dough- nuts. Maureen O’Brien is her right hand man and uses all her arts to entice the attractive young men who enter the portals of their “Petite Shoppe.” Here’s our old friend Harry Tato- ian. He’s following in his father’s footsteps and has made a fortune with his famous “Wonder Ice Cream.” I see Mai y Connor has entered the political field. She’s running for a seat in the Senate with Willard Rro- mage as her opponent. Here’s hoping the best man wins. Fannie Cybulski is going to be a second Titian. She is very famous for her red-haired models. At pres- ent she is painting a picture of Lillian Phelps, who is a model for ax'tists. Oh, what a picture that will be! Jeanne—Let me take the ring now. Robert Squires, our big argumen- tative business man used to plead for a new method of reducing. Well, he got it! Now he’s suing the “Turkish Torture Shop” for $500,000 because he lost three pounds more than he wanted to. Well, well, I’m very glad to see this. Florence Rlowen and Anna Viniconis two modest young misses in the days of yore have left their shells behind and become the “Vo-do-deo-do” Ci’oon- ers!” Eileen, just look! It’s Doris Quinn in a bookshop. Who’d have thought she’d turn literary. Her latest novel, “Read and Weep” is read by millions of people the world over. Oh, James Crombie! Remember Jimmie’s voice and those big blue eyes! He’s making good use of them now. He is a star in musical comedies. You know he really is a serious fel- low, but the line he throws surely captivates every one. Jeanne—Beatrice Dolan is employed by a tailor shop in Thompsonville, you know she always did have a weakness for Taylors way back in 1930. Stanley — Ernestine Cormier is nursemaid for the children of one of West Springfield’s leading business men. Leroy—Bernice Berozsky is now' running a post office in Hazardville with all modei'n improvements, in- cluding a hot dog stand and an ice cream parlor. Stanley—Here’s Marian Hartlev in Egypt—of all places. I guess the King Tut craze got Min for she has tui'ned archeologist and spends all of her time looking for ancient soup spoons in long-forgotten tombs. Amos Pease found his chance to reap a fortune. He is selling fish to the students of E. H. S. to present to THE ENFIELD ECHO 13 the teachers at the end of the mark- ing period. We used to do it, too. Portenski has been admitted to the bar in Ludlow, Mass. He has founded a school for backward children, es- pecially high school students. Why, here’s Katherine Simons! She has given up a position as sten- ographer because of the pesty men and has decided to be a nurse in a Veteran’s Hospital at Springfield! Eileen—Who would have thought that our Hilda would become a teacher? I see she’s dean of a girl’s school in Korea where no eating and whispering are allowed during school hours. Can you imagine it? Here’s Margaret Oliver running a beauty shop here in New York. This is only one of a chain of which How- ard Pease is the head. You’ll prob- ably be quite surprised when I tell you that he has invented a sure-cure for freckles and for love-sickness. Let’s hope it never fails! Have you heard about Nellie Sam- borski? I see she is running a truck garden which supplies the entire city of New York with fresh fruits and vegetables. She has John Norian as foreman but he does more talking than working. Smitty is running a “dude ranch” out in California. Imagine it! You know what a snappy dresser he was in E. H. S. He still is as quiet and bashful as formerly. If he keeps up his private lessons, he’ll soon be Hoot Gibson’s chief rival in the movies. You see, George still has a secret am- bition to get into the movies, though he won’t admit it! Leroy—Poor Norbert is having bad luck. He married a six-footer and is leading a dog’s life. When he isn’t taking care of the Mrs. the Little Gills keep him busy. John Baiek seems to have had a hard time landing a woman so he has decided to try landing an airplane. If he needs any lessons he can find Eileen here at any time during the next two weeks. Well, will wonders never cease. Here are Fannie Sharapan and Catherine Egan. They have both be- come famous tennis players. Cathe- rine no longer is afraid of freckles for she uses Howard Pease’ Marvel- ous Cream. I see Albert Novak is before a judge—and—why the judge is Alec Tenero. Albert is being tried for sell- ing real estate in Alaska where the land is so hard foundations for a school cannot be built! Edward Pluto is the accuser. You see he always loved school so he wants all the chil- dren throughout the world to benefit by the schools he is building. Jeanne—Bernice Dzirkall was al- ways a mystery to me. I used to wonder in those olden days just what her secret hope was. And now—why —yes she, too, has become manager of a shop in “Gay Paree” called “ZEE MODERNE”. She certainly knows her styles. And inside the shop is Sally Naylor—our cutest girl. There are so many small women now that Sally is helping womankind— AND HOW! Ruth Woodward is chief candy tester in that famous company, Kibbe’s. Now you know who you can thank (or not thank) for the Kibbe candy you eat! Oland Prior has become a very successful real estate agent in Scitico, and because of the worrying he has to do, is almost bald! We sure miss his famous curls. Ethel Price and Catherine Reilly are very competent stenographers in the firm of Gilbert and Barker’s in West Springfield. They certainly didn’t wander very far from home. Slavinsky has recently completed a course in the New York Secret Serv- ice School and is now employed by the Town of Enfield as a patrol officer for the E. H. S. Stan—Now Joe Tortorich — why she’s about to marry a fine young gentleman from Wallop. This is the result of ten year’s hard work, she says. Kabeski has obtained a position with the Somersville Mfg. Co. He hopes to own one of his own some day—and then he intends to manu- facture unbreakable pencils for high school students. Remember Turgeon, thp boy who was alwavs so quiet and liked the women folks? Well, he is playing the piccolo with Bert Dolan’s Orchestra at the Crystal Lake Ballroom every Wednesday and Saturday. The other 14 THE ENFIELD ECHO days of the week, he devotes to the Salvation Army. Kenneth Cordner has charge of his father’s estate. He has remodeled the old home and turned the parking lot at Springfield into a public free park- ing place. Eileen—Well, here I see Carl White up in Springfield. He is head me- chanic or what have you, at the air- port. He has made several inven- tions. Among them, a collapsible propeller which can be folded when not in use. Here’s a funny one. Herbie Taylor is bugologist at the University of Michigan. I see him out in the prairies just now, looking for a long extinct species of mosquito, a kind that actually barks, according to the classics! And see here—can you believe it? Here’s Myron Potter doing mission- ary work among the Pygmies of the Congo. Noble work, indeed, Myron! but treat them gently! Leroy—Look! Here's Lillian Cope. She is acting as Wardrobe Mistress for Fanchon Marco Vaudeville. She keeps the costumes in very good condition. Well, Eddie Jacobs has attained his ambition to get into the bright lights of New York. He has just scored a big hit on Broadway in the New Follies of 1945. Thomas Murray is another chip off the old block. He has just been elected Mayor of the City of Thompsonville by a large majority. Marinaccio is travelling salesman with the Fuller Brush Co. of Hart- ford, Conn. He is trying to make enough money to take him to South America to continue his study of rub- ber trees. Well, I guess that’s all. These other pictures do not apply to our class. Stanley—This certainly has been fun. I guess I’ll have to make use of you and your ring in my new novel, Jeanne. Jeanne—Go ahead! The more pub- licity I get the more money it means for me. Eileen—I’m sorry to break up the party, but I have a performance at 3 o’clock. I’ve just got time for a short spin before it’s time to start. Anyone want to go up with me? Everyone—Yes. We’d love to. Is there room? Eileen—Of course there is. C’mon, let’s go! “CLASS HISTORY OF 1930” (By George Donlon Smith) History—not a large word in itself, but what a wealth of meaning behind it! Not every person can be an historical figure, not every class can be prominent in history, but certainly the Class of 1930 has made a name for itself in the history of Enfield. Now let us turn back to that memorable day in September when we entered the doors of Enfield as poor, little, verdant fresh- men. To our elementary school pals we were fine grown-up boys and girls, but to the dignified Seniors of Enfield, we were but mere children. We freshmen, true to form were excited and anxious, lost in the rush and asking the upperclassmen all kinds of questions. After much confusion, we assembled in the school auditorium, where Principal Karl D. Lee gave us a never-to-be-forgotten dissertation on the essentials of a good beginning. At last we were dismissed to our home rooms where we waited patiently for the bell which would dismiss us to our first-period class. The time came and we THE ENFIELD ECHO 15 started. It was much harder to find our class rooms than we thought it would be. Such long halls! What big statues! Remem- ber the time when we left 26, and went off looking for 17? We scampered all over the building only to find ourselves lost in the crowd. We were treated well by all, even by the seniors until lunch time came, and then we had to reluctantly submit to their pushing and crowding through the halls. The rest of the day ran smoothly enough, and we returned home at night thoroughly exhausted after a day of exciting exper- iences. We did not go home alone, however, for an armful of books accompanied us, or, in other words, our friend, homework. Now that we had become familiar with the class rooms, there was the first social to be given, which was for our benefit, the Hallowe’en or get acquainted dance. That’s where the freshman girls went over big, not mentioning the freshman boys. At the close of the freshman year we went on a class picnic to Riverside, and spent a very enjoyable day together. Swiftly, as if on wings, the short summer months sped by and September came bringing with it the return of school, the dawn of another school year. What was in store for us we would not know but we entered once more into school life with admirable spirit and determination, having adapted ourselves remarkably well to the new routine. Resolutely we put behind us the folly and the carefree atti- tude of our freshman year. We were now Sophomores and fully realized, as only Sophomores can, just what a serious proposition life was after all. With grim perseverance and resolution we settled down to the chief purpose of school life. What I mean is, that as Sophomores, we did something unheard of in our freshman days, we actually concentrated on our studies. It was then through the untiring and sympathetic interest and encouragement of our faith- ful faculty that we advanced with boundless strides along the path of knowledge. Mere words are indeed feeble and lacking in power to adequately express the sincere gratitude and appreciation we owe to them. During our Sophomore year, however, despite an absorbing interest in the scholastic curriculum we managed to gain recogni- tion in other activities. Already Enfield was beginning to realize how talented a group it harbored. They now sensed that here was a class that would make history. Thus it was with the future loom- ing brightly before us we went forth into our Junior year to suc- cessfully fulfill the promise it held. The present Senior Stars shone bright in all the four years of our school career. In the nlav Jacobs and Miss O’Brien had the lead, even though they were only Juniors. The Junior Assembly surprised the school with its abundance of talent. The Stars of Athletics wer many.

Class grouch. — CLASS HISTORY (Continued from Page ly) many more were the heroes of Enfield when it came to a test on the field. The Hi-Y Minstrel was furnished mostly by the Senior class. Again Taylor and Jacobs with many more were called upon for their golden voices. The Junior Prom, the bigger and better prom of Enfield His- tory! Never before at Enfield was there such an array of colors. Girls, attractively dressed, were seen everywhere. The hall was brightly decorated and the crowd filled the dancing capacity of the hall. The host was George Davis and the hostess, Lillian Phelps, two good dancers. The rest of the year passed swiftly and all at once we woke up to find ourselves Seniors, people to be reckoned with. The Friday afternoon hops were one of the interests of the THE ENFIELD ECHO 31 year. Dances were held every two weeks and everyone was wel- come. At first only a few of the very brave would dare to go on the floor but gradually the boys got up their nerve and by the close of the season there were many good dancers, even among the freshmen. The Senior Prom, given by the dignified Seniors. This was a success both socially and financially. The hall was attractively decorated in silver and orchid, the class colors. The host was George Smith and the Hostess was Hilda Mitchell. The School Play was given on the 28th of February. It was one of the big hits of the year. The house was filled to even the standing capacity in the rear. Hilda Mitchell and Myron Potter had the important roles to play and took their parts well. Two of the other leading roles were superbly enacted by two of the illus- trious members of the class, K. Carroll and G. Garvey. Our thoughts of graduation were saddened by the death of Miss Gay, our vice-principal. She was one of our best liked and most respected teachers, always a friend in need. Now we are in the week of our Commencement, our last week as active members of Enfield High School. We are looking for- ward eagerly to those things which await us in the future. CLASS JINGLES (By George Davis and Mary Connor) We’ve a verse for everyone In this class of ’30; They were written just in fun And pray that none may hurt thee. B. Berozsky I guess Bernice must believe “Children should be seen and not Vino heard,” Because no matter where she is She seldom says a word. J. Bajek In algebra or chemistry John Bajek may keep mum, But if you want to see him shine Give him two sticks and a drum. W. Bromage Bill will be a politician; We wish him luck and fame; When we are all voters We’ll double-check his name. C. Baumes F. Bania Connie Baumes, prim and primp, Isn’t just a little imp, In fact she’s really a clever girl And has boy’s brains in a whirl. F. Blowen Florence Blowen’s quiet, But she needn’t talk to please; She can send her ideas tinkling From the piano’s ivory keys. There’s just one kind of language That makes him shake with fright; Tf q orir l covo fa Viiro “Banana” spiels in German In French he’ll parlez-vous; He can hablar en Espanol And makes ’em like it too; J. Crombie As manager and actor Crombie can’t be beat; He’s got enough perseverance To perform the most difficult feat. He becomes a “Silent Knight.” If a girl says “boo” to him T-T o Wnmoc a “Qilonf ITm’nr K. Carroll Our valedictorian has personality And a bag that’s full of tricks 32 THE ENFIELD ECHO Yes sir, Kathleen has all of that And hair the color of bricks. G. Davis George is so witty in chemistry class He nearly drives “somebody” fran- tic; Does he get all his fish stories ’Cause he lives out near the Scantic ? M. Carson There’s a brown-haired gal in 26 Who sits near the back of the room; Miriam Carson is her name; She’s the champion dispeller of gloom. F. D’Lorenzo When it comes to airplanes Frank D’Lorenzo is our ace; His models have already Taken many a first place. P. Collins Did you hear the noise— The laughter in the hall? What’s the big calamity? Why, it’s Pat; that’s all. N. Gill Introducing Norbert Gill His line is one of sarcasm; When it comes to wise remarks You’ll find our Norbie has ’em. M. Connor Mary, a shy lass, With burnished gold hair Has wit and good humor Enough and to spare. E. Gwozdz Eddie Gwozdz—quite a name; if you please— To pronounce it—combine a cough with a sneeze; He stops rather short, for he isn’t very tall, But he sure knows the way to sock a baseball. L. Cope Lillian Cope of copious build Eats sufficient to be well filled; She doesn’t say much, so there’s good reason why, She’s always considered a bit too shy. F. Kabeski Here’s a boy who fishes and hunts And is good at all those stunts, But in the classroom you will find Frank has something else on his mind. D. Cormier It is in the office that Doi'is worked; I am sure she never shirked; Every third period without fail She would bring around the mail. L. Lament “Le” will have to leave his weak- ness— The light of the Sophomore class, But we hope one of next year’s Seniors Will cheer this grieving lass. E. Cormier Ernestine is so full of fun; She has been since she first begun, For her the sun is always shining; She’s the champion silver lining. A. Marinaccio Alec Marinaccio—enough for one line— Wears a blue suit with a beautiful shine; If he is as bright as the glint of his hair As the world’s big success we’re sure he’ll be there. E. Crombie When Elizabeth plays on her violin Everyone flocks to hear her; When she becomes a well-known musician We’ll all be there to cheer her. A. Novak Albert Novak, we’re all wondering Why it is you talk so much; Don’t you know your brand of Eng- lish Positively beats the Dutch! F. Cybulski Fanny’s talent is very rare As an artist she’s a star; You’ll not find her anywhere Tho you search both near and far. B. Dzirkall Everything is happy When Bernice is about, Enfield High will sure be lacking When Bernice has gone out. A. Pease What’s Amos’ nationality? Well, here is what he said, “I’ll not be hyphenated; I’m a reg’lar thoroughbred.” THE ENFIELD ECHO 33 B. Dolan Our “Bede” looks so innocent And always seems so meek, But just try taking her out some night— She’ll sweep you off your feet. H. Pease Howard always seems cool and calm, But we know that it’s all put on, For there’s a certain Junior girl Who keeps our Howard in a whirl. S. Petkis Stanley Petkis of athletic fame Has won for himself a coveted name; In baseball and hockey he sure is a gem; The girls may know more—we’ll leave that to them. C. Egan Catherine Egan’s always cheerful Never does she worry; No matter how great the excitement She’s never in a hurry. F. Galbraith Oh, we’ve heard Florence in a min- strel Seen her in “Just Seventeen;” Now we look for her appearance Upon the silver screen. E. Portenski Eddie Portenski is quite a gay lad He isn’t too good, but he isn’t too bad; Good little, bad little, Eddie Por- tenski Why girls don’t adore him we can’t understandski. T. Garini Miss Garini is very meek, So there’s not much to say about her; Yet the class wouldn’t be complete If it should be without her. G. Garvey Genevieve, Genevieve, I’ve been thinking What a queer world for you this would be— If the boys were all transported Far beyond the deep blue sea. M. Potter Potter is our fireman, The hero of the class; He fought fire to beat the band To avoid another blast. J. Jandreau When Jean worked in the office They asked for a voucher; She said “I haven’t one on hand, I’ll just refer to Boucher.” O. Prior And next is curly-headed Oland We know he won’t get sore, Because he’s proud of his curly hair And so are we—even more. M. Malley Have you heard of Mary Malley? Her brain just grew and grew, But to her teachers she was kind, She told them all she knew! J. Middelaer Jeanne Middelaer, small, but oh my Her marks in her studies are up in the sky; If she got five per cent for each boy friend, Her average would soar to 310. E. Price If you ever see Ethel jazzing around In a night club or gay cabaret— Just let us know; we’d like to see The strangest event of the day. E. Pluto There goes Eddie in his Studebaker My, but don’t he look fine! Tall, broad, and muscular he was done by Our Maker; We’re certain that he’ll make first line. D. Quinn Now, we come to Doris; Who has such a charming smile, And by her winning manner Tries masculine hearts to beguile. N. Samborski Next in line is Nellie, But I almost went right by her; She’s so very quiet ’Twas rather hard to spy her. R. Turgeon Ray Turgeon says that golf Is for him the only game; We sure wish you luck, Ray, In your drive for fame. F. Sharapan In chemistry, Fannie is a shark; 34 THE ENFIELD ECHO She’s sure to make her mark— At mixing chemicals together And making to order the weather. K. Simons In writing books on etiquette Emily Post’s no longer in it, For Katherine Simons lives her books, So they’re right up to the minute. H. Taylor The way that Herby gets the girls With a little Chevrolet — Makes all of us wonder what he’d do With a Rolls Royce Cabriolet. J. Tortorich Josephine Tortorich may be well known, But George doesn’t know her and he wrote this poem; So he can’t say much, but ten years from now She may be successful and here’s hoping how! E. Tromley Eileen speaks a lot of French— Sings songs, writes letters, and such; We wonder if she talks it To the boy-friend with the truck. B. Underwood Bernie with his Pontiac Sets maidenly hearts aflame; A very good sport—this Bernie is And a baseball player of fame. A. Viniconis Anna has us all perplexed Wondering what she will do next; She’s surprised us many times now And she may again—But how? D. W’hite Dottie White seems quite still When she’s around in school, But you should see her bobbing ’round When she’s on a piano stool. T. Slavinsky Tony, I think you need some advice; You’re a little too bashful, maybe— Have you ever heard the saying so wise— “Faint heart ne’er won fair lady”? H. Mitchell Hilda, our class actress, Is very sweet; She’s tall, she’s blithe, she’s charm- ing— And Oh! so neat. G. Smith Why does George Smith stay out nights ? The answer is quite plain; He’s catching little shadows To improve his boxing game. S. Naylor Sally H. Naylor would look mighty cute In a neat little, sweet little, pink sailor suit, But if she were cuter Would young Hanson suit her? R. Squires “What makes Bob Squires so peppy?” The wondering children cry. Oh, it’s drinking of Old Newgate Golden, pale, and extra dry. M. Oliver Margaret said coal tar was black With her we can’t dispute, Because she always comes out on top, So we’ll remain quite mute. A. Tenero Alec has made a very good name In baseball we’ll all admit that, And any team will surely win fame With Alec at the bat. M. O’Brien Maureen with flashing eyes And hair of brownish hue Has strong determination— Which is known to only few. A. Parakilas Anna Parakilas is a girl with long, brown hair, And there’s something underneath it more than just a baby stare; She may not get too far in every single class. But somehow or other she’s got enough to pass. C. White Carl White is some mechanic; He can make the wheels go round; Just now he’s fascinated In “experiments with sound.” A. Pawelcik Anna is always laughing, And she’s always full of fun; THE ENFIELD ECHO 35 Now she’s even more happy Since her high school work’s all done. L. Phelps Lillian has dancing feet, Dancing eyes—and is she neat? She’s the one we all adore; Could you ask for any more? H. Tatoian Harry Tat and “Henry” Do make a handsome pair; When it comes to running errands I’ll tell you they are there. T. Murray Thomas is not very noisy; He’s never in the way, But he’s not such a quiet boy When he’s out in the Ford—they say. R. Woodward Ruth Woodward as an actress Crowds assembly at the doors, For her great impersonation Of the inimitable Miss Storrs. K. Cordner If you ask why Ken’s so quiet Here’s the answer that I’d press— The Cordner family makes its dough Selling other people gas. M. Hartley Her name is Marian Hartley, But we all know her by “Min,” She always dresses smartly, And there’s nothing she can’t win. J. Norian What’s the disturbance down there ? See him prance; What! Oh, you mean John Norian? Yeh, that’s him learning to dance. C. Reilly And now we come to Catherine Who’s not a bit noisy nor flirty; From the rest she’s very different In the class of nineteen thirty. E. Jacobs Jakey has a wicked line— Quite successful too— A first-class entertainer And never, never blue. Soon high school days will be ended; Soon we’ll be far away, And we’ll long for the dear compan- ions We’ve been knocking so hard today. But we hope they all will remember Our knocking has all been in fun; Every knock is a boost to the top of the roost, And now all our knocking is done.

CLASS WILL (By Willard Bromage) Teachers, Friends and Fellow Mourners: ’Tis said “Better late than never” but more to the point is “never late.” In accordance with the latter moral, we of the class of 1930, being of solemn mind and steady heart, do hereby make, publish, and declare the following as and for our last will and testament, declaring null and void any wills or statements con- tracted previous to this date. First—We direct that our mortuary exercises be short, but sweet, conducted in a solemn, dignified manner, under the sagacious management of our principal and intelligent faculty. Second—We direct that our just debts be paid out of our estate, as soon after our decease as shall be found convenient. Third—We give, devise, and bequeath to our heirs the follow- ing, to be used by them for the rest of their lives. Item—To the class of 1931, the dignity and stateliness that is typically symbolized in the class of 1930. Item—To the school board, the idea of a one session school day. Item—To the faculty, a new stock of neckties and collar buttons to supply careless students with necessary dress. Item—To the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y, we leave the task to further the good work which we have so far nobly advanced. Item—To the school in general, a set of books, which will serve the purpose of collecting all stray dust. Item—We make the following in good faith, trusting they will be received in the same spirit: THE ENFIELD ECHO 41 1. To Effie Hulburt we leave Florence Galbraith’s simple reducing formula. May she put it to good use. 2. To John Fuge we leave Ruth Woodward’s periodic grouch and bear growl. 3. To John H. Sullivan we leave Bernie Underwood’s ability to do practically nothing and then brag how well he can do it. 4. To S. Angelica, John Norian’s winning ways, also as an after thought, his pull with all the teachers. 5. To Stoughton, the array of artistic endeavor which N. Gill has so laboriously and industriously completed. 6. To some ambitious junior, the problem of filling Bob Squires shoes. 7. To Edna Daum, Gen. Garvey’s come-hither and get-me look. 8. To Mr. Turner, we bequeath a truck to cart his specimens around in. 9. To R. Merriman we leave the ability of Bob Squires to warble in chapel. 10. To the school as a whole we leave the three megaphones which were used to such advantage by the Seniors. 11. To Mr. King, a new march piece to play in assembly. 12. H. Peases privilege to walk down the hall with girls hang- ing on his arm, to Rick Stuart. 13. To future generations, the song “Work for the night is coming,” to be sung once a week. Item—We nominate and appoint Mr. Karl D. Lee, sole executor of this our last will and testament, and direct that no bond be re- quired of him by reason of this appointment. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal at our residence in the city of Thompsonville, this 16th day of June in the year of our Lord 1930. Signed: WILLARD BROMAGE. Witnesses: ROBERT MITCHELL CHARLES TURNER ADVICE TO UNDERGRADUATES (By Howard S. Pease, Jr.) As our last days in Enfield High School draw near, it devolves upon me at this time to deliver some much needed advice into the ears of those who, still in their tender years, have been fortunate enough to enjoy the privilege of calling us Seniors. Therefore: Juniors, next year’s Seniors, as our immediate suc- cessors, I warn you not to reach Assembly too soon. Perhaps if you attach a heavy bar or other hindrance to the doors of room 26, your arrival in the auditorium will be postponed a few minutes. We 42 THE ENFIELD ECHO don’t want anyone dying from the shock of longed-for, but un- expected punctuality. Speaking of explosions, the next time one occurs in the vicinity of Thompsonville, I suggest that you take the whole day off. Don’t come in while school is in session, for a lengthy detention slip will be the reward. Besides, why not give the teachers a much desired holiday and thereby win their everlasting gratitude? Moreover, as you are quite aware, several of our teachers have been taxed beyond their working capacity trying to keep collars buttoned, and ties in place, on certain well-known young men of this school. These teachers would be disappointed if all the violators of the proper attire for males should graduate. Therefore, I caution you—that when hot weather again comes around, you may remem- ber to forget that you have forgotten your ties. Sophomores, the future fun-loving Juniors, your girls must be far less snobbish to Senior boys. Should the girls themselves be foolish enough to ape this year’s Juniors, then let the boys take a hand. See to it that your girls do not through mistaken snobbish- ness pass up what will be among the sweetest memories of their lives, for this year many’s the gentle greeting that’s been frozen unsaid on the lips of a Senior boy, as a Junior girl has looked at and thru him and “passed by on the other side.” You have no authority to give a more successful Prom than the Seniors. Yet every year there is an infringement of their right as though by arrangement with the gods. If necessary you should even go so far as to turn people away at the doors to preserve this patriarchal right of the Seniors. Remember also that Seniors are the sole ones who are bold enough to successfully bluff their way through unstudied assignments. If a Junior wishes to do this, it should only be in practice for the future year. Freshmen, Sophomores to be, assign someone in your class to take vocal lessons for the next two years so you may compete with Eddie Jacob’s voice. Let your aspirant pay special attention to volume, for volume is Jacob’s forte. Your initiation was sadly neglected this year. This hereditary Sophomore task must be kept always well in the foreground. Young gentlemen who long ago should have been squelched, run from one hall to another. You Sophomores of next year see to it, that the incoming Freshmen will be studying for their next recita- tion instead of racing about. And now a suggestion or two in conclusion. Let everyone con- cerned follow them, and in due time you will attain the high per- fections of our class, the illustrious Seniors of 1930. At the end of assembly, Underclassmen, throw your books on the floor. More noise can be made in this way than by your present method of snapping them shut. Also you will please the powers that be. If, at some time, you desire a week or two off, arrange to dis- THE ENFIELD ECHO 43 tract the bus students at noon hour, to draw them away from their usual occupation. Then through lack of their habitual support the walls of the building will cave in, and pouff! you will be free. Underclassmen, we are sorry to leave you and this, our school. We appreciate and are grateful for your aid in all our projects. We hope sincerely you will keep alive and animate that spirit which has prevailed in our school activities, our studies, athletics, dramatics, music and literature to the everlasting glory of Enfield. RESPONSE FOR UNDERGRADUATES (By Robert Bromage, ’31) Honorable Seniors, Classmates, and Friends: It is with great pleasure that I speak in behalf of the under- graduate body this evening. You have just listened to some good advice, in fact very good advice. But remember, folks, there are two kinds of good; no good, and good for nothing. In this case, both definitions apply. We have been warned lest we reach the auditorium too soon. Well if the underclassmen follow in the footsteps of the graduating class, there will be no need of worry. My friend stated that we were fortunate to enjoy the privilege of calling these people. Seniors. I’ve known people who were fortunate enough to call these people names, which were anything but Seniors. The previous speaker also stated that the present Sophomore girls, the future Junior girls, should play up to the boys of next year’s Senior class. Now, just because there were not enough good- looking girls in the Senior class this year, thus forcing the Senior boys to seek beauty and enjoyment elsewhere, it doesn’t follow that the Junior class is without any captivating girls. The Junior class is filled with charming young ladies. The great volume of Eddie Jacob’s voice has been spoken of before but still needs further explanation. Due to the fact that there weren’t any good voices in the Senior class, Jacobs took it upon himself to bring up the ever-decreasing prestige of his class by outshouting all other people. Thus Eddie became famed for the volume and sonorous tone of his voice. Besides, the other classes have several good singers so that they do not have to rely on one person to do all the singing. As for the innocent little Freshmen and Sophomores that my friend derided, let me assure you that their innocence is entirely fictitious, for they know more than they should. Did not the Freshmen and Sophomores play a large part on the athletic field? Did not the Freshmen boys escort Freshmen girls to the dances so that the Senior boys might be able to dance with some very fas- cinating young ladies ?

Both were with us at the outset of our high school journey, sharing our joys and hopes and we have felt keenly the gap left by their departure since God called them from our midst. And, lo! they have passed from our yearning hearts, They cross the stream and are gone for aye, We may not sunder the veil apart That hides from our vision the gate of day; We only know that their bark no more May sail with us o'er life’s stormy sea; Yet, somewhere, I know, on the unseen shore. They watch and beckon and wait for me. And I sit and think, when the sunset’s gold Is flushing river, and hill, and shore, I shall one day stand by the water cold, And list for the sound of the boatman’s oar; I shall watch for a gleam of the flapping sail; I shall hear the boat as it gains the strand; I shall pass from sight with the boatman pale To the better shore of the spirit land; I shall know the loved who have gone before, And joyfully sweet will the meeting be. When over the river, the peaceful river, The angel of Death shall carry me.” THE ENFIELD ECHO 47 Response for the Undergraduates (Continued from Page 45) But, we must speak a word or two of the Junior class. The Junior class by all means was the shining light of the high school. It excelled the other classes in athletics, dramatics, and social activities. In closing, Seniors, it can be said that you worked diligently during your four-year stay here and that you did your best to uphold the traditions of old Enfield. The undergraduates as a whole extend their best wishes to you for immediate and continued success in years to come. Combination Storm and Screen Doors ORDER NOW! Enfield Lumber Coal Co.
