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. Tenero, Taylor, Underwood, Gwozdz, Bania, Tat, Murray and (Continued on Page 50)
