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.

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 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.
