PLEASE PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS 2 THE ENFIELD ECHO Character in Thrift The most satisfied and contented people are those who are each year adding to their reserve fund. These people are also adding to their character, because no- body can put away part of his earnings for use at some future time, nobody can make up his mind to cut out useless things and stick to his resolution, without strengthening his character. When the future comes around these people are financially fixed, so they do not have to depend upon charity; they are able to live well and have the things they want. THOMPSONV1LLE TRUST CO.

VOL. 20 THOMPSONVILLE, CONN., JUNE 1932 NO. 3 ADDRESS OF WELCOME (By Carlo Angelica) Parents, Teachers, Schoolmates and Friends: As president of the Class of 1932, it is with great pleasure that I extend to you a most cordial welcome to our Class Night Exer- cises. Our moments of happiness and laughter here at Enfield High are about to come to a close and we want to take this opportunity to show our gratitude to our beloved parents who have made so many sacrifices for our needs, and to our teachers for their inspira- tion and careful guidance during our short four years at Enfield High. It is only fitting that I should say a few words about the untir- ing efforts of our class night committee and speakers who have worked as a unit with the sole idea of giving their parents, teachers and friends one joyful evening. HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1932 (By Matilda Drangenis) “History is the story of what civilized man has done,” so his- torians say. The history of the class of nineteen thirty-two could hardly be so comprehensive as this. But as we look back over the past four years, we seem to have filled them with the happiness which comes from hard work and achievement, from good friend- ships and jolly times. The Freshmen Assembly of 1928 gave us our first chance to perform, and we certainly made a beautiful impression! Every- thing went wrong from start to finish! But considering the source, it was simply funny! During a song where flashlights were sup- posed to be turned on and off, the lights wouldn’t work! One mem- ber of the cast, not mentioning any names, tried to go off the end of the stage where there were no stairs! 8 THE ENFIELD ECHO During our first year we elected class officers. Carlo Angelica became our President; Lillian Alaimo, Vice-President; Priscilla Comstock, Secretary; Everett Mallard, Treasurer; and Frances Tromley, Historian. Owing to the fact that Frances Tromley be- came Salutatorian in her Senior year, I was chosen by the Faculty to take her place in the Commencement Exercises. Being Freshmen, we remained in modest and retiring seclu- sion, during our school hours, at least, so as not to offend, in any way, the haughty upperclass students. But we soon became Sopho- mores, began to assert ourselves, and show our really splendid qual- ities. The names of many of our class were found on the honor roll, and we conducted ourselves with a dignity and wisdom which has never since been equalled. Then came the Operetta. Here Margaret Kreuger, as the snappy little French maid, showed real ability as singer and actress. During the year, we were much grieved by the sudden death of Miss Gay, Head of the Latin Department and Vice-Principal. Although she had been our teacher but a little over a year, we felt keenly the loss of such a splendid woman. Our Junior Year gave us many opportunities to distinguish ourselves. Clarence Mitchell had the leading role in the play, “Skid- ding,” and proved a capable actor. Priscilla Comstock and Mar- garet Sweeney as the two married sisters added much to the play’s success. The annual Operetta of the Junior Year featured gypsy char- acters. Bernice Squires as a gypsy mother, Margaret Kreuger, her daughter, and Clarence Martin an English fop, were very interest- ing in their respective parts. In April we had our Junior Prom. Clarence Martin and Pris- cilla Comstock acted as Host and Hostess. John Liucci with his saxophone became our leading light in music. At last came our long awaited Senior Year, with all the dig- nity and honor which rightly belongs to Seniors. Ours the proud privilege of walking out ahead of the mere lower classmen at the close of Assembly, when they remembered to wait for us. Our High School now numbered so many that separate assemblies of classes were arranged except on special occasions. In December we held our Senior Promenade with Frances Tromley as Hostess, and Wolcott Phelps, as Host. Our annual play, “Nothing but the Truth,” was presented in April. Boucher Smyth, as leading man, gave a very convincing and finished performance. Clarence Mitchell took the part of a'bishop, who was told he could get anything if he yelled loud enough. He acted accordingly. Priscilla Comstock played the part of a beautiful girl minus a beautiful voice. Clarence Martin was a prosperous business man. Lillian Sharon added clever comedy as “Mabel.” The whole play was a tremendous success. The Operetta of our Senior Year, “Jerry of Jericho Road,” THE ENFIELD ECHO 9 added great fame to the already glorious class of Nineteen Hundred and Tnirty-Two. Margaret Kreuger and Frances Buck charmed all with their singing. Clarence Martin, as leading man, showed excellent musical and dramatic ability. Esther Thompson added much by her excellent acting. Our Class has supported the High School showing athletic prowess in baseball, basketball, track and football, as well as tennis and golf. Last but not least, a new activity, debating, brought great honor to our high school during our Senior Year. We came within one vote of becoming state champions in debating. Julia Augustyn- iak, Robert Reilly, and Margaret Sweeney were Seniors who took part in the debates. History is a succession of causes and results. As we have tried, wholeheartedly and honestly in the past, so may we succeed in the future. May we all give thanks with the poet, Henley, who wrote: “Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishment the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.” CLASS PROPHECY (By Pearl Ferrier, Alice Norian, Charles Morris, Joseph Liana) Pearl—Oh! Charles—What’s this? Joseph—Look! Alice—What happened now? (Step out carefully.) Charles—Are you sure this is Mars? Joseph—According to our calcula- tions it is. Alice—Isn’t it wonderful to think we could figure so accurately just how to come from Earth way up here on Mars. Charles — We certainly deserve credit for this. Alice—Isn’t it strange? Pearl—Look at all the funny things. Alice—What’s that thing crawling around there? Charles—Let’s look around. Joseph—No, let’s look through our actophotorator and try to see Earth. Pearl—Oh, yes, that must be the first thing we do. (Start getting it set up.) Charles—I’ll screw this on. Joseph—Put that under this. Joseph—I wonder if we can see the Earth with our actophotorator that is to enable us to see things many thou- sands of miles away. Alice—Are you setting up the ac- tophotorator here? Charles—Yes, it’s set up entirely now. Joseph—Let me lower this plate a trifie. There it’s all ready. Now focus it this way a little. Ah—there’s the Earth! Pearl—Objects, why they’re build- ings! JoseDh—It’s New York. There’s the Television City. Charles—Look! I see people com- ing out. 10 THE ENFIELD ECHO Alice—Don’t they look familiar? Pearl—They ought to. They’re Jennie Luczai and Josephine Giac- cone. They must be getting out of work. Charles—They’re going down the steps. Joseph—They’re buying a newspa- per. Alice—We can even read the head- lines! (Together)—“Ragno Elected Presi- dent.” Pearl — The Paramount Theater. Look at the lights and names. Boucher Smyth is playing opposite Lillian White. Alice—They always were good in love scenes at school. Pearl—An added attraction is John Liucci’s world famous orchestra. There’s the court house. Twist that other lever so we can look inside. Walter Provencher is on the bench. Joseph—Who’s at bat? Pearl—Mildred Charette is suing Charles Baumes for abusive treat- ment because he snores in his sleep. Ernest Gaudette is the prosecuting attorney. Charles—Isn’t that too bad. Let’s focus on Chicago. Alice—What’s this we see? Joseph—It’s the Opera House! Margaret Kreuger, Amelia Pilch, and Antoinette Nigro are performing lead- ing roles. Their director is Sherwood Cordner. They have just completed the one thousandth performance of that famous opera “Hothawhoopee- whichki.” Charles—And there’s William Fuge in the lobby. He’s reading the “Windy City Gossips” which is edited by Frances Sisisky, and Margaret Sweeney brings in all the latest news. Pearl—Collecting gossips used to be her hobby at high school. Alice—This is a great opportunity for us to read the news of the day. Joseph—What dees the “Windy City Gossios” say? Alice—Vincent Czipulis, a great detective and his able assistant, Helen Blaszko, are hot on the trail of Dorothy Moran who has deserted her husband and her five crying children. The Tootsie Weenie Co. is going full blast. President William Rarus an- nounces that the stock has gone up to 200. His right hand man is Joseph Rarus whose slogan is “Eat three Weenies a Day and You'll Never Weaken.” Mamie Arnone is on the payroll as private secretary. Pearl—See that big ad, “For latest styles in Ladies footwear, patronize Lillian Spazzarini and Freda Krycz.” Joseph—1 wish he’d turn the page. Alice—No sooner said than done. He’s turning it now. Pearl — Look, Clarence Martin’s picture! Charles—What’s he being arrested for now? Pearl—Clarence Martin is the newly appointed general manager of the Nutty Ape Zoo. He has just hired two well known monkey experts, Mona Foley and Wanda Bayek who are preparing to treat the zoo to a new diet. Katherine Jennings is so- journing at this most famous zoo in order to paint pictures of the animals. Charles—That’s enough of that. Joseph—Anna Stinson, dean of Kokohokum University in Indiana, has founded a new standard of rules. The girls are allowed to attend classes at their convenience. A re- quirement for graduation is that they must know how to chew gum in pub- lic. Lillian Alaimo is the professor of Bunk and Frances Tromley the pro- fessor of Blarney. Charles—There’s a big circus going on in Oshkosh, Nebraska. Mildred Knight is performing a hula-hula dance. James Parakilas is the tallest man. Alice—I wonder what ever made him grow? Charles—Josephine Mitsky, the fat- test woman in three counties is sit- ting beside him. Look! Loretta Greaves is the leader of a band of gypsies, and Anna Grant is per- forming a simply marvelous act. She’s jumping from a white horse into a quart of milk. Alice—Of all things, a Mortuary Association, a doctor, an undertaker, his assistant, an efficiency engineer, and a minister. They’re all working together. (Business is prosperous.) Paul Smith, the doctor, cures the people sometimes. When he doesn’t he leaves them to Richard Browne, the undertaker. Edward Landry, the efficiency engineer has figured out THE ENFIELD ECHO with great accuracy the exact sizes of the boxes necessary for everyone. Marjorie Mohn is Richai’d Browne’s assistant. Wolcott Phelps, the min- ister, completes the quintet. Finan- cially this is a very successful asso- ciation. Charles—Let’s cross the Pacific. Pearl—Look! Dorothy Bent and Foster Lees are missionaries in China. Joseph—Official orders in Russia are that everyone must chew gum in order to exercise his jaws. To aid the Russian government John Bartley has opened a gum factory. Jennie Fran- ciamore and Helen Sklodowski are the official sample testers. Pearl—Robert Reilly has published a new dictionary. Just think of it! and he was the fellow who didn’t know the meaning of half the words he used while at Enfield. He is trav- eling through Russia giving sales talks to the Trotskys. Charles—Bernice Squires, working for the Russian government, is now lecturing on, “Why the Woman’s place is in the Kitchen.” Esther Thompson is demonstrating the value of this principle. Joseph—Say, there’s quite a few people from Enfield located in Russia. Alice—I see Germany. At last! The mirror has been found. Esther Smyth and Margaret Nash have dis- covered the mirror which allows one to see oneself for two seconds only. If after two seconds a person is still using it, it turns black. As soon as a different person looks into it, it re- sumes its natural properties. This is just the mirror that we should have had in the Girls Room in Enfield, be- cause it would give another girl a chance at the mirror. Charles—John Schianca is a pro- fessor of Latin. Only up-to-date methods are used. Students are fur- nished the translations so as to make the study of Latin less monotonous and more profitable. Alice—Joseph Wojnar has one of the new watches which Julia August- yniak has invented. It’s a watch that goes slow when one is having a good time and goes fast when one is work- ing. Joseph—There’s Grace Middelaer and Claire Gwozdz on their honey- moon in Germany. This makes Grace Middelaer’s second honeymoon and Claire’s fourth. Alice—Look, Paris! The stars of the day are Clarence Mitchell, Regina Trachimowicz, Mary Karcz and Lil- lian Sharon. Pearl—Lawrence Lucay is in the canned goods business. Canned cocoa- nuts are his specialty. Peter Petrakis does the mathematical calculations so that no can of cocoanuts leaving the factory is one ten-thousandth of a gram overweight. Joseph — Joseph Labanouski is working as the chief test pilot for the Consolidated Airways. Pearl—England! Victoria Pianka is playing tennis, and Everett Mal- lard, golf. Look, Carlo Angelica is the manager of the “Try an’ Hit ’em” baseball team. He has Fred Bostick as his pitcher. Charles—John McCann, the world’s most famous dentist is now a multi- millionaire. Helen McNeil is his nurse. He made his fortune by the use of a specially equipped magnet which was invented by John Klaus. By using this magnet he pulls out all the teeth of a patient and then has to make false teeth to replace them. Joseph—Talking of inventions, Leon- ard Ruggerio has startled the world with his new invention. He has put wings on cars which enables them to rise into the air like a bird. This is very beneficial in traffic jams. Alice—Helen Vallides and Susie Olisewsky have discovered a new for- mula for food. You can eat the tini- est bite once in two weeks and still keen fat. Charles—I think I’ll try some of that. Pearl—Oh! Did you see the ambu- lance whiz by? Anna Poloski has an attack of sleeping sickness. Anna Polek is attending her. Charles—Why! There’s Priscilla Comstock. She’s our first Mrs. She certainly looks happv. Joseph—Frances Buck, a post-office clerk! She always was great for transmitting news at school. Alice—Have vou been in Thomp- sonville in the last few years? Charles—No, I haven’t. Alice—Well, let’s focus on Thomp- sonville. THE ENFIELD ECHO Joseph—Look at the changes! Sky- scrapers on Enfield Street. There's another building going up. “Building contractor, Stanley Kalwa Co. Look at that window on the third floor of the building across the street! Charles—I)o you see that fat woman? Her face seems familiar. Alice — Why that’s Madeline Snyder. Someone told me that she is running a big dancing school for fat women. The instructor is Mildred Chillson. Joseph—Who’s that directing the traffic in the green, gold, and blue spangled uniform. Pearl—It looks like Gertrude Schneider. Alice—Isn’t that a beautiful candy stoi-e on the corner! Why, it’s owned by Helen Stack. Charles—Did you see Robert Miller who is the new manager of the prison farm in Shakers, in his new limou- sine? Harry Grey and Stanley Jen- nola are his assistants. They are very successful with their rubber plantation. Alice—Imagine Thompsonville ever having a million dollar stadium. The feature this week is the bout between Columbia Testoni and Roaslie Pawel- cik with Wanda Lehmann as the ref- eree. Donald Smith, Mayor of Ware- house Point, accompanied by Matilda Drangenis, the town clerk, are the honored guests. Joseph—Turn that lever a trifle to the left. Oh, that’s Somers. I can tell it by the large white municipal sana- torium of which our old classmate Elizabeth Alden is the doctor on the staff and Vera Holmes is the super- visor. And here we see Stanley Gor- man, probably the only person who believes that the depression of 1931 is still going on. He is now the di- rector of the Somers School of Social- ism which is affiliated with wisdom from the Enfield High School. Anne Townson is teaching the Art of Re- spect. Alice—What’s all that commotion about? Pearl—They’re celebrating the elec- tion of Teddy Bak to the State Sen- ate. Here he will have an opportunity to reveal his noted power for argu- ing. Charles—Alvin Jackson became a more successful Sea Scout than a Boy Scout. Now he’s Rear Admiral of the North Polar Bear fleet. One of his policies is that there is no North or South Pole. According to him it’s all the bunk and that the people are hav- ing illusions. To treat the subject more fully he has written the book entitled, “Scientific Illusions.” Joseph—In 1940 Joseph Jatkevicius graduated with honors from the Bluf- fem Ein Bluffer University. He then went to Bluff Point, Kansas where he expected to determine whether Ein- steins theory is fallacious or not. Be- cause of his genius he has succeeded in separating gold from goldfish. An- other thing, he is trying to bluff the people that down is up and up is down. (Enter the Queen of Mars, Mar- garet Kreuger) : How do you do? I heard there were some people from Earth here on Mars and I wish to extend to you a most cordial welcome and invite you to dine at my palace tonight. Pearl—Why you’re speaking Eng- lish!!! Margaret—Yes. a thousand years ago Sir Thomas Richney was shot up here to Mars. He taught us to speak English. Charles—I am getting hungry. Let’s accept that invitation to dinner.

While 1 daresay any such effort is a waste of energy, you being, alas! what you are, nevertheless it is important that nothing be left undone that has the slightest pos- sibility of improving your state. I am, then, happy to have been chosen to exhort you to do your best in the years that remain to you at our Alma Mater. First of all it behooves you to pay careful attention while I point out to you some of the outstanding personalities of the class of 1932 whose deeds you should strive to emulate. There is our stalwart Carlo who won a birth on the All Twin-State Basketball Team. 1 would have you, too, consider the record of that versatile athlete, Fred Bostick. And don’t overlook the mighty Gorman, mighty in football, mightier in baseball. You probably wouldn’t overlook Stan anyway, but the point is, you mustn’t. Where, where I ask you, are you going to find another the equal in the art of danc- ing of our elegant Phelps or any such great lover as Richard Yar- rington Francis, the intriguing and incomparable. Consider too the histrionic ability of our Comstock, the beauty and the voice of our Kreuger, and the nerve, the sheer nerve of our Lillian. Don’t forget Smith and Martin and Mitchell. Especially remember Mitchell who is good with any racket or should I say in any racket. With what I am sure is pardonable pride I crave your atten- tion to the achievements of but these few members of our great class whose sum total of accomplishments certainly give us the right to counsel and advise you. It is expedient that you listen well. Therefore: Freshmen, by common consent you are the worst class ever admitted to the halls of old Enfield. You have played a lamentably minor part on the field of battle. You must do some- thing next year, get some school spirit, do something, anything. You poor little freshmen girls, please do exercise more restraint in the plucking of your eyebrows. I notice some of you have gone so far as to pluck them entirely out, and the effect is extremely bizarre. Sophomores: You are our only hope and 1 fear that you are hopeless. Sophomore girls: Take your gym exercises more seri- ously and your cheeks will develop a color far superior to that that you’ve been obtaining, I am told, from vanity cases. It is permis- sible for a Senior girl to use a vanity case, but you absurd children must learn to paint first. I suggest that you go find a good barn somewhere and practise painting that first. Juniors: You are utterly and absolutely hopeless, and you get worse. We are told that you are to be given a term of probation as THE ENFIELD ECHO Seniors next year and in order to succeed during that period see that you do certain things, such as, for instance getting put out of class at least three times a week; do no homework, and if the teach- ers complain, tell them you are Seniors, and if that isn’t effective, tell them where they get off. You would do well to choose DuPrey class president and be particularly kind to Herby Wells the first few weeks, as of course he’s bound to be rather lonesome. And you Junior girls: Do try to acquire a little sophistication—learn to chew your gum nonchalantly, and not guiltily, as if it weren’t be- ing done. Undergraduates: In closing may 1 assume a more solemn tone? For four short years we have all worked together in this school and have learned to love it. We appreciate your cooperation in all our activities and we wish you the greatest success in your future ventures. We hope you will make our Alma Mater better than ever by keeping alive and developing the spirit which has pre- vailed in our various activities throughout. RESPONSE TO THE SENIORS (WITH APOLOGIES TO WILL ROGERS) (By Herbert Wells) Well all I know is what I hear the Seniors say and believe me that’s enough. If they say they’re good and seems to me they kind of intimated they was, then I reckon they’re pretty good. Course I reserve the right to have my own private opinion about them, but at least in public, when they’re all dressed up in their pretty new clothes and ready expecting nice things to be said of ’em, I just ain’t got the heart to tell the truth. The truth, you know, folks, sometimes hurts. That’s why none of us insignificant little underclassmen objected to what Mr. Wil- liam Rarus just said. Course he had to say something and so he said just the same things that that fella from last year’s class said to the undergraduates, which by the way, was just about what has been being said at these here occasions fer the last fifty years. Course I ain’t saying that all that silly advice wasn’t good for his own class; no, but if the truth be told none of ’em ain’t seemed to profit by it very much. Speaking about chewing gum nonchalantly, I’ll bet if them there Senior classes mouths was opened this minute you’d find ’em half full of gum they’ve been trying to keep hiding like, wishing of course to appear at their prettiest like tonight and kind of grown up. I tell you what they’re a pretty timid gang. An another thing—if some of the underclass girls has pulled out their eyebrows I guess it’s because they jest naturally got to thinking it was a sort of tradition around here. 42 THE ENFIELD ECHO Now of course I could go on talking for a long while and say- ing nothing like some other folks do but modesty kinda forbids me letting on how good my own class is—you know, folks, people gits kind of tired of that sort of thing after a while—not meaning any thing personal like about the Seniors—no—they was a good class— course they never did much but then no one expected it of them and so no one was disappointed—but I want to say for my own class and for all the underclassmen that right here and now we’re going to start a new tradition of letting “actions speak loudern words.” I guess that’s about all expected of me, excepting I want to say to you Seniors that we’re kinda sorry you’re gonta be leavin’ us. We’ve got use to havin’ you around—you know you can get used to anything—and we want to say we hope you have the best of luck out in the cruel world and that you take everything, both the good and the bad in a game way. Well, I guess that’s all folks. CLASS WILL (By Walter Provencher) Know all Men by These Presents, that we, the Class of nine- teen hundred and thirty-two, of the Enfield High School, in the Town of Enfield, county of Hartford, State of Connecticut, being of sound mind, memory and judgment, do hereby make and declare, and publish this our last will and testament and do earnestly desire that these, our last requests, be carried out as hereinafter directed: First. To Mr. Karl D. Lee, our principal, we give and be- queath our most sincere respect and continued appreciation for his wise guidance throughout our years at Enfield. Second. To all members of the faculty, who have never failed to be our friends and advisors, we bequeath our sincere thanks for the help rendered us. Third. We give and bequeath unto the Juniors the great and noble honor of becoming Seniors in order that they may have a class book, which will displease 99 98 100% of their classmates, and we add our hopes that they will be as disappointed as we were when we found out that our pictures looked just like us. Fourth. We leave to the faculty our assembly seats for use in receiving the crowds that claim their attention immediately after report cards are distributed. Fifth. To Mr. Reynolds we leave a box of animal crackers which we think may help to keep next year’s senior home room quiet. Sixth. To Coach Robert Walker we leave a pair of sturdy suspenders so that the teams may never lack support. THE ENFIELD ECHO 43 Seventh. To Miss Storrs and Mr. Gleason we leave a box of yeast cakes to be administered to the underclassmen so that they will rise early thereafter. Eighth. We leave Anna Grant’s talk, bluff and mischievous habits to Elinor Furey. Ninth. We leave a copyrighted volume of Wolcott Phelp’s recitations in Chemistry to next Year’s Chemistry Class. Tenth. We leave Boucher Smyth’s technique as dancer and lover to Richard Stewart. Eleventh. To Helen Olschafskie we leave Mildred Charette’s ability to “string” the opposite sex. Twelfth. To a promising player, namely Babe Ruth, we be- queath Stanley Gorman’s baseball talent. Thirteenth. To the school, Lillian Sharon, of our class, be- queaths a supply of Wrigley’s so that the custom of gum-chewing well-established by her will continue for years to come. Fourteenth. We bequeath the power of our treasurer, Everett Mallard, to get money from financially embarrassed seniors, to all successors in the future. Fifteenth. We bequeath Ernest Gaudette’s ability to pursue and conquer homework to all students who need such a trait. Sixteenth. We bequeath the seat which has been occupied at noontime by Herbert Wells and Priscilla Comstock to Richard Nye and Edith Phelps. Seventeenth. If there is any money remaining after these be- quests have been fulfilled, it is to be used to buy trapezes, which are to be hung in the Auditorium at each assembly and used as ex- tra seats. We hereby appoint Mr. Lee, our beloved Principal, sole exec- utor of this, our last Will and Testament. In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hand and seal at our residence in the Enfield High School, Town of Enfield, this 13th day of June in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hun- dred and thirty-two. WALTER PROVENCHER. Witnesses: BOB MITCHELL, MARION STORRS, MADELYN MATTOON. 44 THE ENFIELD ECHO Class Presentations (Continued from Page if) Wanda Bayek..................
