VOL. 21 THOMPSONVILLE, CONN., JUNE 1933 NO. 1 ADDRESS OF WELCOME (By Herbert Wells) We are glad that such an interesting audience of friends and teachers have gathered to greet us on this, our class night. We are pleased to complete our high school course, and to move on in our development to what we trust may be truly successful and influ- ential lives, that we may be in future years an honor to our past training, to ourselves and to our country. The class of 1933 heartily welcomes you to their program of class night. May your presence here this evening help us take ad- vantage of the bright and promising opportunities of our time, as we hope we have taken advantage of them in the past four years. We must progress, for tonight begins our Commencement week. Each day opportunities for a finer growth, the chance of better cul- ture through association and travel, the way to a more ideal charac- ter is open to every boy or girl who is awake to all the possibilities of our times. We are a great people. Ours is a great country. Great are the advantages which we enjoy in the present form of govern- ment. Great are the privileges of the present; great are the present opportunities of the people; very great indeed are the intellectual opportunities of today, with a wealth of knowledge from the re- searches of the past years, and the greater researches of the pres- ent. Truly our own training demands that we accomplish a worthy work, humanity demands that we do our duty, and God demands that we do our best. The past four years of study, the constant and daily association with teachers and companionship with one another, have been a training, have been a preparatory course for a greater school. We soon will be graduated from high school either to an institution of higher learning or to the life of business, industry or profession. In any case, may we, labor ever onward! Again the class extends their most hearty and sincere welcome to all who have assembled to witness these exercises. Welcome, parents, teachers and friends, is the greeting from the class of 1933. 8 The Enfield Echo CLASS HISTORY, 1933 (By Elizabeth Bridge) Deep in the history of the class of 1933 lie the memories of help- ful teachers, friendly classmates. I cannot hope to tell them to you. The history I shall give can include only the concrete events of our school life. Graduation time finds us on a hill-top looking back at the low- lands and the slope we have climbed these four years. Lowlands of 1929—and were they low! The fact that we entered Enfield High 226 strong added not one bit of courage to fluttering heart or leaden foot—we were singularly or collectively—Freshmen! The first social event in which we shone was the Freshman- Parent Reception. The real reason why that night was glorious was the fact that no upperclassmen were there to degrade us in the sight of our fond parents. The second social activity that meant anything to the class of ’33 was the school operetta, “The Lucky Jade,” in which Joseph Javorski and Herbert Wells did the honors for us. Soon after we became enrolled in the high school, we were ushered into the mysteries of the detention slip. Many and various were the stories told about the obtaining, the course, and the out- come of these paper menaces. If anyone wants to know these stories he must become a freshman in Enfield. 1 will, however, tell you one story that was told to me. One day, after a few months schooling, two timid little morsels of humanity asked a senior, “What does Mr. Lee do with detention slips he passes out every morning to the respective teachers?” “Oh”, said the senior, “he looks them over and puts down all the names in a big Black Book, and holds them against you at graduation time.” And the timid little Freshmen crept away. The Hops given by the seniors called forth untold agony and effort on our part to master the intricacies of dancing. Probably the upperclassmen suffered also. Of course, the main event of our freshman year was the election of officers which resulted as follows: President, Herbert Wei's; vice-president, Marita Mitchell; secretary, Eileen Young; treas- urer, William Gray; executive committee, James Alaimo, Helen Olschafskie; class historian, Elizabeth Bridge. September, 1930 found us in the category of sophomores. We were upperclassmen. We could join the school clubs; we could pester the freshmen. As soon as we became sophomores, we were given a section of the auditorium for ourselves. We no longer had to sit behind another class. The class of ’33 was admirably represented by Herbert Wells in the school play “Seventeen” and again in the school operetta “The Gypsy Rover” in which both Javorski and Wells had leading The Enfield Echo 9 parts. The weeks and months passed in happy succession and all too soon our happiest year had become only a memory. When we came back to Enfield in September, 1931, we had grown-up. No longer did we tease the underclassmen. They meant nothing to us. We were absorbed in ourselves and the seniors. Four of our class: Jane Middleton, Eileen Young, Leila Fuge and Herby Wells had leads in the school play, “Nothing But the Truth.” In April, the Junior Prom was given with Herbert Wells as host and Marita Mitchell as hostess. The affair was a social success. During the spring of 1932 Enfield entered the State Debating League and the following people of the class of '33 represented Enfield in debates: Saul Jacobson, Milton Virshup, Elizabeth Carey and Elizabeth Bridge. The teams were coached by Mr. Langford and Mr. Hassett with Mr. Reynolds as head coach. In the operetta “Jerry of Jericho Road” we had three repre- sentatives: Joe Javorski, Richard Nye and Herbert Wells. By this time the class of ’33 was known for its talented actors, actresses, and musicians, also for its artists, Edwin Oates, Frances Mulak, Jane Middleton and Leila Fuge who drew attention to the school activities by their posters. The award of the Prize Speaking contest went to Joseph Javorski and was a fitting start for the Senior Class of 1933. Even though our senior year is just behind us and is a fresh memory, it is only a memory for we can never live those days again. The first social event came in December in the guise of the Senior Prom. James Alaimo was the host and Eileen Young, the hostess. The auditorium was suitably decorated in blue and gold. February brought the school play, “Mary’s Ankle,” in which the senior class had its share of actors and actresses. Eileen Young, Helen Olschafskie, Richard Nye, Margaret Holloran, Pasquale Lamagna, Charles Crosby and Lauren Gemme played their parts convincingly. Right after the play, the work of debates started again under the coaching of Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Langford. Soon, however, the debaters, the senior class, and the entire school felt the loss of Mr. Reynolds when he resigned from the faculty. Mr. Lee kindly consented to be the other debate coach and the debates went off well with Enfield winning every debate it entered. All debaters this year belonged to the class of 1933. Saul Jacobson, Dwight Higley, Hugo Marinaccio were the affirmative speakers with Rich- ard Stewart as alternate. The negative speakers were Elizabeth Carey, Milton Virshup, Eddie Alden with Elizabeth Bridge as al- ternate. The Twin-State One Act Play League next called our atten- tion. Much interest was shown in the one-act play “Rich Man, Poor Man” given by representatives of Enfield High in competition with Technical and Commercial Highs of Springfield. Enfield was the only high school of Connecticut entered in the League. The players 10 The Enfield Echo from the class of ’33 were as follows: Leila Fuge, Elizabeth Carey, Lucy Birdsall, Phyllis Keeney, Helen Muzyka, Joseph Javorski and Herbert Wells. Of course, we can not give a class history without reference to our athletic prowess. Our sophomore year, the class of 1933 won the interclass championship. A cup was the reward for fine work in the following sports: tennis, soccer, basketball, football and baseball. The interschool games saw many of our class carrying the colors to victory. The three outstanding stars were Silanski, Nosal and Wells, all of whom participated in every major high school sport. Another event in a person’s high school life is the graduation pictures. The girls fuss over their dresses and hair and the boys walk the corridors. But after the pictures are taken, the waiting for proofs is really the worst time of all. One morning, just before vacation, Mr. Lee told us when and where we could obtain our proofs and he added very kindly, “Other classes have been disap- pointed with their proofs as some of you will be, so remember this—you can’t all be Greta Garbos and Clark Gables no matter how much you wish and try to be.” The operetta, “Don Alonso’s Treasure,” was a very snappy event. Joseph Javorski and Margaret Holloran had the leading roles supported by the following members of the class of ’33 Lucy Birdsall, Genevieve Scavotto and Charles Mylek. The wearing of cap and gown by a graduating Enfield High class is history. It has never been done before, here, and may not be done again. The class of 1933 is appreciative of this honor con- ferred upon it by the Board of Education. Thus I have traced our History. I spoke of standing on a hill- top—how tragic it would be were there no heights for further climbing—if all that was left to us was to stand still or retrace our steps! But there are heights ahead, and we know that our attain- ment in life is not an end but the beginning of something bigger and better—a real commencement! The Enfield Echo CLASS PROPHECY (By Alfreda Potwin, Dorothy Keller, Dwight Higley, Andrew Stroiney) Scene : Roof Garden—Waldorf-Astoria Hotel Andrew—Why, Jimmie Alaimo! What a surprise to see you here! Imagine you being the head waiter in the Roof Garden of the Waldorf-As- toria! Wouldn’t the other members of our class, who cannot come to this tenth reunion be glad to see you in this responsible position! I’m afraid not many are going to be able to get here, though a number have sent their re- grets. Alfreda—Well, Dot, I hear you’re a famous stylist now. Your gowns are lovely but my pocket-book has not stretched enough to include one. Dwight—Say, Andrew, what have you been doing these last ten years? Andrew—I’ve been working as an Electrical Engineer for the Powder Hollow Electric Company—it’s Haz- ardville’s newest enterprise. Well, Alfreda, you haven’t told us what you’ve been doing for the past few years. Alfreda—Oh, I’m teaching school in the metropolis of Scantic. Don’t you pity the children? Dot—Dwight, I hear you’re quite a physical director at the Bell School in Enfield, making big muscles out of small ones. You certainly can handle the dumb-bells. Dwight—If you’re referring to the pupils, I’ll say I can. Look! there’s Norma Vining directing the orches- tra. Why, she has just returned from Europe where she has been studying music. Now she’s going to take Ru- binoff’s place. Alfreda—Oh, look! there’s Virginia Vining playing in the orchestra too. Andrew — And there’s Richard Chmura blowing his sax. Dot.—One big reason for suggest- ing that the reunion be held here was because I knew that the food would be cooked by one of our old class- mates, John Glista. He is classed among the best chefs in New York. Andrew—The chickens served at this hotel are raised on Ainsworth’s poul- try farm. Dot.—Did you notice the draperies in the lobby? Phyllis Keeney did the interior decorating. She always did have a flare for that sort of work. They tell me that Edward Wojnar is Thompsonville’s leading baloney dispenser. He has the largest meat market east of the Connecticut River. Dot.—While walking down 50th Street last week I saw in headlights at the Radio City Theater, “Forgotten I oves,” starring “Nell Olsen’’ and “Olaf Swenson.” I went in to see the picture and found the stars to be none other than Helen Olschafskie and Richard Nye. Since Helen is playing with “Swede” she has ac- quired the Swedish accent. We often hear her say, “I tank I go home. I want to be alone.” Look, do you see that party coming in? The first couple looks like Leona Fuge and Thomas Wallace. He’s a big butter and egg man from Hazardville now. You know most butter and egg men do come to New York for a little ex- citement at sometime or other. Who are the other couples with them? One of them I’m sure is Caroline Jedziniak and Pete Frigon. Andrew—The other is Avis Bridge and Lauren Gemme. Dwight—Do you remember Lucy Birdsall? Well! she has just been ap- pointed the Wardeness of the Conn- ecticut State Penitentiary. I was reading an editorial the other day and whose name do you think was signed at the bottom? Floyd Bradish, the EHitor-in-Chief of the New York Times. Elizabeth Carey has sent her regrets that she could not attend our reunion but as you know she is a very busy Congresswoman in Washington. I received a letter from Elizabeth Carson and she is now teaching school in “good ole Scitico.” Some joke! eh boss! I can’t under- stand why Edward Crombie hasn’t arrived or sent his regrets. But then he is rich now and perhaps can’t be bothered. He is living on Long Island. Reverend Charles W. Crosby is now the leading pastor at John D. Rock- efeller’s new church on Riverside The Enfield Echo Di'ive. I always knew he was intelli- gent. Alfreda—One day recently I saw in blazing letters outside of a Times Square Theater the names of Helen Muzyka and George Parakilas, fam- ous dramatic artists, at this same theater for 56 consecutive weeks. The next morning I read in the paper they were rivaling the fame of Al- fred Lunt and Lynn Fontaine. Just recently the name of another class- mate of mine came to my mind when I ate some potato chips Horn Ralph- inea Laino’s factory. I saw Ethel Stebbins the other day and she said she is a social secretary here in New York. She always was a good one on the date question, but she didn’t keep this one to-night. She told me that Annetta Turrin has been elected from Connecticut to the “United States Council of Hairdressers.” She also said that Stanley Silanski, the famous athlete has been appointed coach at Enfield. Andrew—Peter Skawrenski couldn’t come to the reunion. He’s trying to break the record for flag pole sitting. Helen Murawski told me the other day that Joseph Salva came into her drug store to get something to treat a black eye. She asked Joe how his wife was, and Joe replied, “My wife is all right, but look at me.” Did you hear that Anthony Scavotto broke the high jumping record in the Olympics? Walter Shlatz also made good. He won the diving contest. Dot.—Have you noticed Rita Cun- ningham’s picture in this week’s Lib- erty? She is displaying that charm- ing smile of hers and her white teeth made whiter by chewing Dentyne Gum. I understand that she gets $10,000 for posing for the e ads. Rita has certainly chewed enough gum to have the whitest teeth in America. She always was a gum chewer back in E. H. S. days. I heard that Ells- worth Hall is advertising Schaeffer Pens. He has only to hold the pen, and it does his writing for him. I met my old friend Mac Gray last Fri- day and asked him what he was do- ing these days. He told me he has formed a new Association in America called the Scotch Pladdies and he is giving the Y. M. C. A. competition. Their motto is, “A penny saved is worth two in the bush.” Did you no- tice the waiter, Dwight? He seems to have recognized us. Do we know him? Dwight — yes, that’s Patsy La- magna. We might have expected to see him wherever we see Alaimo. Dot.—I saw Marita Mitchell’s pic- ture in the society page, as the blush- ing bride of the Governor’s son. It’s funny, the blushes didn’t show in the picture. Say, talking about society I hear that Betty Spier is the champion bridge player. She is broadcasting over the Columbia Net-work every Wednesday afternoon. Culbertson, back in 1933, was not as famous as Betty is now. Dwight—Margaret DuPrey will play at the Waldorf Astoria on Tues- day in a benefit musical recital. She is probably practicing tonight. Jean Faiman is the authoress of about 20 well-known books thus far. Can she write? Is she romantic? Rose Cimino and Josephine Gannuscio have opened a commercial school in San Francisco. Their specialties are stenography and bookkeeping. Leila Fuge and Francis Gaudet are unable to attend tonight because they are in Europe getting ready to play in the mixed doubles tennis championship of the World. Lots of luck! Laura Gowdy has recently published 12 volumes of Encyclopedias. She claims that her knowledge was acquired in Miss Meyer’s class by asking questions. Alfreda—Janette Pomeroy writes that she is judge of the court for the Settlement of Lovers’ Quarrels in Somers. In the same letter I learned that Ernest Kibbe has opened the largest Dodge salesroom in the world. This salesroom in Somers indicates business is rushing. I wonder why? Two of our classmates have entered the farming line. Harriett Lovett and an old admirer are raising rabbits for a living. They are thinking of manufacturing rabbit coats, too. Edith Phelps is a great potato raiser at present, the hobby having been chosen for her by a young gentleman who showered atten- tion on her during her Senior year. You see I’ve learned quite a bit from Jan’s letter. Leo Nosal wrote that he now has dancing classes in the gym- nasium of the old high school. I won- der if the fair sex still flock to dance with Professor Nosal and his black curls. He says Charlie Mylek has written a book on “Debating to Win” The Enfield Echo 13 since he has become famous in the Senate on account of this subject. Andrew—Francis Karcz is making quite a success as a poet. He pub- lishes a poem every day in the news- papers. Speaking of newspapers, I ran across an article in the sports column written by William McLaren. You remember him, don’t you? Well he’s a sports’ writer now. In his ar- ticle he stated that Ethel Firtion is the world’s best girl athlete. He also writes that John Shea is busy draw- ing the plans for a new stadium which will be named in honor of her. Tony Labutis has the contract to con- struct the stadium. Francis Salva is following in the footsteps of his father. Rather he has gone beyond his father. He is now the proud owner of the largest garage in En- field. Dot.—Joseph Connor, Thompson- ville’s leading fur dealer also sends his regrets. I heard from someone in Thompsonville that he had a sign over his store reading, “We catch’em, on the run, you get caught.” Speaking of Thompsonville, Mary Franciamore has adopted Marlene Dietrich’s fad of wearing men’s clothing. She never did like the feminine mode of apparel. She’s the first in Thompsonville to take up the new fad. On my way to lunch yes+erday I saw a crowd gath- ered around a man who was talking rapidly and loudly. It was none other than Roy Du Prey selling “Bunkum” in large packages. Another letter of regret was received from Rita Des Rosiers. She is one of our first Mrs. Rita is giving talks over the radio on the subject “How to bring up chil- dren.” I read an article in a maga- zine—very amusing, too, because the title was, “How to get the most out of life by being noisy.” The co- authors were Mary Klimek, Mary Starr and Anna Smyth. They were such quiet girls in school. Dwight—Lois Hilditch, the beauti- ful “Titian-haired” actress is now starring in the stage and screen suc- cess, “Lover’s Night.” Can she act? hmm— Did you ever listen to the Hills’ cigar program on the radio? The sponsor is none other than the great Sherman Hills of Somers. Wil- liam Lacey is now Thompsonville’s leading drum major. To see him in action is as good as a one-act comedy. Eileen Sheridan and Sophie Ligenza are running a Ladies’ Dress shop on Fifth Avenue. They learned how to sew in Enfield High. I received the regrets of Hugo Marinaccio. He is in Hollywood filming the mystery play, “Who Goes There?” With his name the role ought to be easy. Alfreda—I read in the newspaper the other night that Henry and Rob- ert Osborn have broken all trans- Atlantic flight records by flying this expanse in 4 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds. Two other Warehouse Point boys have made good. They’re Joseph Kadikas and Bruno Kvietkauskas, wno have the largest dairy farm in the United States. Ruth Kuhm writes that she has married and is now liv- ing in Los Angeles. She told me that Esther Moulton is in Reno for the third time. The attorney for the plaintiff is Anthony Buiniskas, and for the defendant Anthony Malinski. Andrew—I went to a circus about two weeks ago. Who do you think was selling tickets? No one else but Margaret Michko. I went in the tent just in time to see two of my class- mates, Dorothy Pease and Mabel Chillson in their breath-taking trap- eze acts. Lillian Starr and Helen Miller are swimming instructors at the Powder Hollow Summer Resort. Their motto is “We can teach any fish to swim.” Anthony Welesky tells me he’s going to become a magician and learn a disappearing act. He said it will come in handy at the be- ginning of each month when the set- tlement collectors come around. Dot.—Have you heard the latest about Herbert Wells? He has been elected mayor of Wallop. He seems to have the situation well in hand as his whole council is made up of the fair sex. He always was partial to the ladies. I wonder who the girl is. Her voice sounds familiar. I know now. It’s Eileen Young the “Song- Bird of the South.” Let’s go and see her later. Rita Sheehan sent her re- grets, as she is at present in charge of the debating squad at the Univer- sity of Columbia. I read that her team is meeting another famous de- bating squad next week. The subject for debate is, “Resolved that the school should be run on a 15 hour a 14 The Enfield Echo week basis.” I saw this notice in the paper, “Bring your children to the library to hear the latest Mother Goose Tales told by Angelina Por- cello.” She always was a good read- ing companion back in ’33. Dwight—Thomas Matulewicz is now in Europe getting ready for the forthcoming Olympics. He is a 2 to 1 favorite to cop the jig saw puzzle race. Remember the little girl with the great big personality? Elizabeth McCaffrey? She is now Chicago’s leading candidate for mayor. Pauline Rice is unable to attend, because she is an instructor of night classes in Columbia University. Genevieve Sca- vatto has taken over the duties of Mr. King as Music instructor at the En- field High School. Does she know her notes? Did you hear about Ruth Simons? She is leaving tonight for Germany, where she will resume her studies. John Simonton, the good- looking boy from Thompsonville, is now a world famous doctor. Congrat- ulations, John! Alfreda—Greta Hogan and Mary Bigos wrote to say that they have been added to the staff at Dr. Vail’s Sanitorium as nurses. Business must be picking up. By the way did you listen to the radio the other night? Eddie Alden is exceeding the fame of Eddie Cantor back in 1933. Mar- garet Halloran and Joseph Javorski are also on the radio harmonizing daily over the Blackstone Cigar hour. They have surpassed the popularity of Julia Sanderson and Frank Crumit. Elinor Malley wrote that she is now the nursemaid for the children of the King of the Fiji Islands. She always was taking care of children in her High School Days. Andrew—I heard George Miller was arrested the other day for reck- less driving. You see, Stella Grigas was driving along in her car while George was practicing golf in his back yard, and a golf ball happened to go through Stella’s windshield. Celia Wlotkowski is conducting a sew- ing circle. Sophie Wolodko who is a telephone operator is considered the best member. She hears all the latest news. Edwin Oates, the great artist, is now busy painting a picture of Elizabeth Bridge, the social leader of Hazardville. Dot.—While gazing across the river the other day a ship hove into sight. Some one hollered, “Hi, Captain!” He answered in a gruff voice, “Shiver me timbers. Are you salty?” After which I recognized the voice to be that of Bill Savage. I read in the sport’s column that the heavyweight champ has been matched with Barney Goo- gle’s Sully. Further down the column I found the champ to be Eddie 01- schafskie. Let’s hope he wins the title. Say, Dwight did you recognize the cab-driver? Dwight—That was Kenneth Jacobs. Dot.—I remember him now. I heard he has the cab fixed so that the fare is raised every yard it travels. Small wonder the cost was so large. He must have recognized us. Dwight—Dick Stewart, the world famous golfer, recently lost a match with Hagen. The reason was that there were too many good-looking girls among the spectators to detract his attention from the serious busi- ness of golf. Benny Testoni is a high- rated barber at the State Line. Can he give you a close shave and a trim- ming? Here are the regrets of Phillip Tatoian. He is forced to stay in Hart- ford, where he has to pull teeth. Joseph Vella is a successful jockey at the Agua Caliente race track in Mexico. Alfreda — Jane Middleton wrote that she is President of the new En- field Art Academy which was started by Josephine Tavino. I recently vis- ited Scitico. It has grown so since 1933 that there is a need for a day nursery for undernourished children. This has been ably met by Mildred King with Miriam Maher as her as- sistant. Some day I hope to take one of Saul Jacobson’s personally con- ducted tours through the Holy Land. He has Rose Cardone along as inter- preter. She always was a great lin- guist. The greatest news I have kept until the last. Vernon Connell has been appointed Personal Advisor to the President who is none other then Milton Virshup. Andrew—Genevieve Belczyk and Antonina Smith just came back from a trip to Africa. I asked them how they find the natives there. “Oh they’re easy enough to find,” said Genevieve, “but we had to be careful The Enfield Echo 15 CLASS PRESENTATIONS (By Caroline Jedziniak, Edward Wojnar, Elizabeth Carson, Ernest Kibbe) Four happy years are about to close And now that they are done, Some secrets we are going to tell Although it is just in fun.

She learned to pitch by throwing the plates at her husband. Rorr.ina Tavino is the umpire. Her definition of a “hit” is “Any time a fellow asks you for a date you know you have made a hit.” Dwight—Do you remember how quiet Alfred Higgins used to be? He is giving a lecture in New York to- night. Say, that’s an idea, let’s go over and get our tickets before they’re all sold out. You need, oh need a mustache black For it’s the only thing you lack. Rita Cunningham...........Sewing Kit When sewing days are over In dear old Enfield High, This sewing kit will remind you When it’s time to thread the eye. Rita I)es Rosiers...............Shoes There is a lass who loves to dance From morn till set of sun, To her we give these dancing shoes And wish her loads of fun.

Ellsworth Hall Seng “Valley O’ The Moon” Don’t you think this song is lovely ? Don’t you think this song is grand ? If you don’t think it’s lovely Well, you just can’t understand.

Our heads are bowed indeed with grief as we think of what will happen when we take away our guiding hands and leave this school to the de- structive talent with which you apparently seem to be endowed. But even the least intelligent have some comprehension, and so I have been delegated by the class of 1933 to give you a few words of advice. If you do not comprehend, we will understand why; but at least listen. Therefore; Juniors and next year’s Seniors, when you have the Chemistry Experiment in which you make Hydrogen Sulfide (that gas with the odor of rotten eggs) don’t be stingy with it but allow all you possibly can to escape into the room. The odor that drifted through the halls and rooms this year was not up to standard. Then too, when you have reached the high estate of Seniors and have the honor of occupying Room 26, don’t cross off or in any way deface the initials or names already ingraved upon the desks. Add yours. Do not be afraid to do this. The teachers will say nothing to you as they realize that this is a privilege sacred to Sen- iors only. If any person other than a Senior should muster up enough courage to attempt to scratch his initials on the desks in Room 26, he should be very severely punished. Girls of the Junior class, please keep up that good old Beauty Parlor Custom in which the Senior girls indulge in powdering their faces and fixing their hair behind the lifted desk covers in Room 26. Sophomores and the near future Juniors, I wish to thank you for the deference you have shown us at all times. It indicates that you know a really remarkable and superior class when you see it. I advise you to show just a little bit of respect to the Juniors, next year’s Seniors, although I know it will be very hard to respect an ordinary class after being led by a super class, in fact the best class that so far has been graduated from Enfield High. Now for you untrained and uninitiated Freshmen who have been living in a fool’s paradise. Your class was simply distressing. You were so noisy, boisterous, and hilarious that we Seniors couldn’t lower our dignity enough to associate with you. Hence it was de- cided to have two sessions and to put you little “Fresh’es” by your- selves. As a result of this treatment you have become worse instead of better. You have been moving about the halls of Enfield High as if you owned them. Now Freshmen, and next year’s Sophomores, The Enfield Echo 23 you will have to reform your ways or you will run into a great deal of trouble. You must conduct yourselves like the nice little Sopho- mores that you will soon be. Next year’s Juniors and Seniors, you now see what a trouble- some Sophomore class you will have to handle and I greatly fear that you will need training for this task; therefore, if you find your- selves hard pressed, call upon us and we will be glad to advise you in handling the situation. Another thing you future Juniors and Seniors will have to attend to is your marks. These have shown a decided fall since the adoption of the two session plan. We Seniors naturally expected this because we knew it would take quite awhile for your undevel- oped brains to adjust themselves, but now that you have had a year’s experience in which to make progress in your marks, they should improve. But remember, you will have to do some hard studying to even approach those of the class of ’33, your highly intelligent predecessors. Now a little advice for all you undergraduates: The only re- quirement necessary in order to maintain the highest standards of wisdom, culture, and refinement is to follow the examples which have been set before you by this year’s graduating class. I believe if you children govern your tendency toward childishness and play- fulness you can hope to approach, at least to a certain extent, our high standards. Furthermore, in sincerity, I wish to say that we, the class of 1933, have enjoyed our four years in Enfield High and thank you undergraduates for your support and cooperation with us. We wish you the best of success in your future work. RESPONSE FOR UNDERGRADUATES (By Allyn Gourlie, ’34) Honorable teachers, fellow undergraduates, and most conceited Seniors: It is with the utmost pleasure that I stand before you this evening in order to console you in your leavetaking as well as to defend the undergraduates from some of the most unjust and absurd remarks and accusations which have ever passed from the mouth of man. In the few words which I am going to say tonight, I shall endeavor to lift you from the depths of boredom into which you must have been thrown by the speech previous to mine. No doubt you will agree with me that it was one of the most boring speeches ever to be given from this memorable platform. 24 The Enfield Echo Now, to proceed with the main topic of the evening, namely, defending the undergraduates from some of the atrocious state- ments in my predecessor's speech. In the opening paragraph my Senior friend made remarks about the destructive talent with which the Juniors seem to be endowed. Now, frankly, friends, can you think of anything more destructive and more useless than carving initials on desks? He readily admits that the present Seniors have done just this. More- over, he asks us to do the same if we wish. Can you imagine such an intelligent group of students, as those who make up the Junior class, defacing property in such a manner? I am sure that I can- not. In another statement he spoke of the deference of the Soph- omores toward all Seniors. Oh, vain Seniors, do not tell me that you are as ignorant as this statement leads me to believe you are, that you regarded this attitude as one of deference. Let me at once make it plain to you just what this attitude, whose conclusion you have so stupidly derived, really was. They were merely trying to hide their astonishment of how such a class with so little ingenuity had ever reached the Senior year. My predecessor has also told you of the falling of the marks of the Junior and Sophomore classes. You will notice that he has not mentioned the Senior marks at this point. Well, 1 can’t say that I blame him much. I doubt whether I should have done so had I been in his place if the length of the Senior doubtful list enters into the account. But, take heart, Seniors, we will readily admit that you have been the model class of Enfield High this year. Do you know the meaning of model? The dictionary defines it as a small imitation of the real thing; this definition fits your class admirably. Now, in closing, may I speak in a more serious tone? I am sure that all undergraduates wish to express their thanks for the cooperation which you have given to them in all enterprises. We accept your advice in good spirit and will try to correct what few outstanding faults are present. We, as undergraduates, extend to you our best wishes of success in all future ventures in which you are participants.

The Enfield Echo 51 CLASS WILL (By Floyd R. Bradish) Teachers, Friends, and Fellow Mourners: 'Tis said, “Men of few words are the best men,” but more to the point is “Our few words” reflect the splendor of the estate of this class. In accordance with the latter moral we the class of 1933, being of solemn mind and steady heart, do hereby make, publish, and declare the following as and for our last will and testament declaring null and void any wills or testaments contracted previous to this date: First. We request that our mortuary exercises be short, but sweet, conducted in a solemn and dignified manner, under the saga- cious management of our principal and faculty. Second. We leave to the faculty the problem of raising the standard of future classes to the stateliness that is symbolized in the class of 1933. Third. We direct that our just debts be paid out of our estate as soon after our decease as shall be found convenient. Fourth. We leave to our principal and to our faculty our sin- cere appreciation for their splendid cooperation in our quest for knowledge, and we wish them success in conducting their work for future classes. Fifth. To the class of 1934, we leave the problem of attaining the high standard of leadership set by us in school activities. Sixth. To the faculty, a new supply of neckties and handker- chiefs and other articles of wearing apparel, for careless students without necessary dress. Seventh. To the Hi-Y and Girl Reserves we leave the task of carrying on the good work so far nobly advanced by the class of 1933. We make the following in good faith, trusting they will be received in the same spirit: 1. We leave to Arthur Swift, alias Professor, and Lois King, the park bench formerly occupied by Red Stewart and Eleanor Furey. 2. To William Crombie we leave Joseph Javorski’s birdlike voice and fluttering manners. 3. To Laurence Smith we leave Phillip Tatoian’s ability to do practically nothing and then brag how well he does it. 4. To any humorously inclined underclassman we bequeath William Lacey’s ability to laugh at his own jokes. 5. To Margaret McCracken we leave Helen Olschafskie’s “Come hither and get me look.” 52 The Enfield Echo 6. To Francis Quinn we leave the hollow part of Clarence Ainsworth’s cranium. 7. The girl-like blushes of Thomas Matulewicz we leave to Walter Kelley. 8. To Janet Bridge we leave Eileen Young’s popularity. 9. To Laurence White we leave Ellsworth Hall’s privilege of walking down the corridors with girls hanging on his arm. 10. We bequeath the major part of Lucy Birdsall’s excess height and commanding powers to Margaret Frew. 11. We leave the scandalous past of Laura Gowdy’s life to Maureen Hutchinson. 12. To Robert Hardy we leave Herbert Wells’ prowess as a dancer. 13. To any enterprising young Junior who thinks he can qualify we leave Edward Olschafskie’s knowledge of chemistry. 14. To John Devine we leave the stentorian vocal powers of Roy DuPrey. 15. The perpetual sun-tan of Hugo Marinaccio and his blond hair we leave to Donald Gourlie. 16. That certain part of the dance floor formerly occupied by Leo Nosal and Bertha Jatkevicius we leave to Harry Greaves and Margaret August. 17. To Ellsworth Clarkin we leave Francis Gaudet’s season pass to detention for tardiness. 18. Edward Alden’s wit and incidentally his pull with the teachers to posterity. 19. The inquisitive nose of Edith Phelps we leave to Evelyn White. 20. The perpetual grouch of Lillian Starr to Mary Smyth. 21. Mac Gray’s famous saying “She’s nuts about me,” to Donald Comrie. 22. The razor formerly used once a year by Joseph Kedikas we leave to Anthony Deni. 23. To future generations, the song, “Work for the night is coming,” to be sung once every week. We nominate and appoint Mr. Karl D. Lee, sole executor of this, our last will and testament, and direct that no bond be re- quired of him for reason of this appointment. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal at our residence in the city of Thompsonville, this 12th day of June in the year of our Lord 1933. CLASS OF 1933, Signed: By Floyd R. Bradlsh, Attorney. Witnesses: Bob Mitchell, Marion R. Storrs, Harold A. Gleason.

PRICES REASONABLE Phone 677-21 VUDORS Keep Your Porch Cool VUDOR Porch Shades are made of thin, smooth wood slats per- fectly stained in rich, beautiful colors and woven together with strong warp of a harmonizing color. The lovely dark green VUDORS with their green warps and fix- tures will harmonize with any porch furniture you already have or with any of the newest modern porch furniture. VUDOR colors, while most artistic and pleasing will not fade and are not affected by sun or rain. VUDOR Porch Shades are made first of all to keep the hot sun off the porch, but they also protect it from the gaze of passersby and even make the rooms adjoining the porch degrees cooler. This “porch room,” cool and airy cn hot days, can be used for a children’s playroom, a sewing room, a reading or card room. Nothing equals this extra out-of-door room for summer use. A VUDOR shaded porch is one of those things you feel you cannot get along without once you have it, and VUDORS are very low in price. J. Francis Browne E. C.
