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

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

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.”
