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 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
