The Enfield Echo ways “The Art of Talking.” Also, Emil Greenblatt who never bragged back in high school has written a book “How I Won Fame as a Discus Thrower.” John—I received a letter from Janet Bridge, and she writes that she has been unemployed for several months. However, she has finally landed a job as Secretary at the Y. W. C. A. in Jacksonville, Florida. Janet wrote too that Anna Buika, a Washington, D. C. news reporter, has information that Jennie Bania, Secretary of Labor in the President’s Cabinet, has chosen Caroline Bailey as her private office girl. Shirley—Speaking of secretaries Antonia Thompson is the President’s right hand girl at Traveler’s Insur- ance Co. And who do you suppose is the president? James Johnston. Dot—Remember Poppy Raissi ? She has chosen a very interesting career as Latin instructor in the Hazardville High School. Poppy has just finished a textbook on “How to Speak Latin in 30 Days.” Shirley—Another member of our class, to choose a thrilling career is Margaret Fleming. She has recently changed her name from “Miss” to “Mrs.” John—I hear that Irene Chaput is here in Paris on her honey- moon. Perhaps we will run across her. Joe—To get back to the World of Sport. I see that Walter Ligenza is traveling around the country with the World’s Champion Basketball Team. He broke all records the other day by scoring 30 points in a single game. No doubt, you have all heard of John Kazmierski. He is expected to become a star trackman on the U. S. Olympic Team this year. Dot—I am glad to hear Joseph Rich is Professor of Bugology at the “Nutzburg College. Shirley—Did you see lately in the paper that Marjorie White has been elected President of Smith College ? Margie always made a grand leader. John—Stella Cybulski is an instruc- tor of French at William Mary College and has been sent over here to the Fair. She had better know her French when she lands in gay Par-ee. Shirley—What another thrilling flight Lindbergh has just taken, and to think Normand Holcomb was the engineer on the trip. Joe—Say do you know that Bryce Leggett is the pride of Scotland Yaid’s Detective Bureau? I guess he got his start in Enfield High mystery plays. John—My old friend, Kenneth Cow- les, Co-ordinator of the railroads has decided to retire into private life, since Biaggio Bellico, a political boss is not in favor of his plans. Dorothy—Here comes an airplane. Who is that figure running over here? Why, none other than Thomas O’Shea. He has just completed a non-stop flight around the world in five days. Ernest Pierog is his chief mechanic. Ernie was always pretty successful as a mechanic at Merrill’s Garage. Joe—By the way, I forgot to tell you that Jessie Lucay has become the manager of one of Gertrude Leh- man’s food shops. Gertrude is very active in Girl Scout work also. John—I was surprised to see Mary Calcasola in the foyer of the hotel. She is one of the cashiers at The National Bank of Easton, Pennsyl- vania. Mary told me that Sophie Czapas is tired of being a governess and plans to get married next month. I hope she won’t get tired of her husband. Shirley—I heard that “Edward Thompson’s Scandals” have just open- ed their season on Broadway and that Abigail Travers has the leading role as Kate Smith’s double. I bet she has insured her voice. Dorothy—Premier Mussolini has re- tired at last and has given over his power as commander, general, and president to Michael Reveruzzi. He always could dictate. Joe—By the way John, Shirley told me that you received a letter from Walter Kelly, and he wrote you that he is still a collegian at Bates Col- lege. John—The paper has it that Robert Bohman, a lawyer of Tucson, Arizona is against the policies of Merrill Bent, the mayor of that town. Joe—Marion King has enlisted in the Red Cross, but is seeking a job in Tucson, Arizona, for reasons of her own. Shirley—What do you think of the

12 The Enfield Echo T’ville Trust Company and Alfred Pohorylo is his able assistant. They offer 10% interest. I wonder how long it will be before the bank goes on the rocks. Joe—While on the subject of busi- ness, Elinor Furev has stuck to her old trade—she’s still flirting. Shirley—Folks, we must go to the movies sometime this week for I see that they are showing Queen Wilson’s latest picture. Jenniemae has become one of my favorites in Screenland. Dot—I received a Thompsonville Press the other dav and read that Margaret Schneider lias been appomt- ed welfare worker for Enfield. That was always her pet ambition. The other day while walking down the street, a big car drove up and in it was none other then Sylvia Under- wood, who has just inherited a large fortune. Her chauffeur was Bennie Jackubiec. John—Vivian Carson, the best stylist in Maine left this morning on the lie de France for home after visit- ing the fashion exhibit in Paris. She has people wondering about her new escort. Joe—F. Novak is Vivian Carson’s assistant. Frances received her ex- perience through practising on her classmates’ hair in Enfield’s Study Hall. Shirley—The dress I’m wearing is one that I bought from the “Hoffman Shoppe.” The manager of the store is Anita Sperrazza and the gown was designed by Aileen O’Donnell. Dot—Did you know that Hilda Schoppe is head nurse in the Hospital for those that have Bonkus of the Konkus? She is taking care of Bill Crombie. Her able assistant is Helen Sherman who aids her when Rube has one of his fits. John —Tony Deni, manager of a beauty salon in N. Y. called on Rube for a short visit. Shirley—What a large number of our classmates have become educa- tional instructors. I really was amazed to read that Elizabeth Mosher is now i-he Home Economics teacher at Enfield, Margaret Viniconis teacher of English 3, and Alice Smith is head of the commercial denartment suc- ceeding Miss Allen. Have you heard that John Sylvester has Room 26, the Seniors’ Headquarters, as his home- room ? I believe he instructs classes in Social Civics. I see where Con- stantine Titus is Professor of Lazi- ness at Wiley College. Joe—Anita Sperrazza is his secre- tary and finds the dictation given by Prof. T. much too slow. He talk's at the rate of ten words a minute. Joe—I also hear that Eileen Moran and Catherine Norris have started a Girls’ School and have been quite suc- cessful. They are keen competitors of MacDuffie’s School. Dot—In my mail this morning I re- ceived a New York Times and saw that Sherrell Sisitzky has gone to Broadway to give her first stage pro- duction. It is called “Rasputin’s Sis- ter.” Sherrell will play the role of the sister while Rasputin will be played by Frank Ruggerio. We never knew Frank could act until he made his debut in “Henry’s Wedding.” John—Frances Collins is recording the songs for the Betty Boop cartoons. Recall that in our last year at Enfield Lilyan Tashman died ? Her place has been taken by Lillian Adams. Work- ing for Lillian is Patricia Dowd, a promising young stenographer. Joe—I hope to go over to the Polo Grounds of the Fair for I wish to see America’s now famous baseball twins, Joseph Kryzs, the human fly-eater and Edmund Kukulka, the man who can pitch on a rainy day because of his famous umbrella ball. Shirley—I was very pleased to hear Edward Pohorylo has won fame in the field of baseball, and is playing with the Yankees. Dot—“Alec” Pilius is Connie Mack’s successor. I wonder if Alec will sell some of his best men as Connie did a number of years ago ? Joe—When I was in New York last summer, I visited Madison Square garden to see Edward Mika wrestling. Naturally he won. Dot—I came across a new book the other day entitled “The Way to Slen- derize” and the authoress was none other than Florence Petkis. Shirley—By the way, one of the leading lecturers of the day is Kar- olyn Struziak who speaks on the “Art of Silence.” Joe—Bernice Knox gives speeches on the radio and her subject is al-

14 The Enfield Echo coming election ? Do you think Ro- bert Smith will win out? I’m inclined to believe he’ll make a fine president. Dorothy—You said something. I think he’ll win. Joe—What do you know? Isabel Lockwood has become the first woman Police Chief of Thompsonville, and since she has attained the position the town has been very orderly. Dorothy—Eugenia Rzesos is nurse- maid to several cannibal children, whom Doctor Allyn Gourlie brought back with him fi'om Africa. He plans to make some psychological experi- ments with them. Most likely they’ll experiment on him. Shirley — Mary Talnac, Evelyn White, and Phyllis Vallides are three office girls working for the big boss, William Yesukiewicz, of the Bigelow- Sanford Carpet Company. John—Well! Elizabeth Barber, a floorwalker in R. H. Macy and Co., Inc., is getting sick of the complaints of Evelyn Bilodeau, a trained nurse, who believes she is not getting the best medical supplies. I wonder if she means cosmetics? Joe—Last night while listening to the radio I heard John Menko, the successor of Eddie Cantor. Guess who has the better jokes? Shirley—I guess I’ll read the Thompsonville Press, which I brought along. O, Look! the advertisements. This one reads, “Robert Hardy, Ice Dealer,” another “Laurence Smith, Chevrolet Distributor,” and another “Mary Giorgiole Piano Lessons.” Their business must be rushing. Dorothy—Look who’s here. None other than Karoline Pilch, the great vaudeville dancer. John—The paoer states that the Governor of Connecticut has chosen William Narewski and Henry Lucas head of the Cow Inspection Commit- tee. It would be well for them to inspect their own cattle first. John—I happen to know that Ger- trude Crosby is the Head Telephone Operator in Portland, Oregon. The operators have been complaining be- cause Gertrude makes them work too hard. Joseph—As I entered the Aetna Life Insurance Co’s, exhibit I met Mary Huntley who represents this Company in the World’s Stenographic Contest, in which she has competed for three years and has won every time. Dorothy —Donald Gourlie has just been elected president of France. He is to make his address today at the Fair. Don always was good at boss- ing things. Joe—Walking around Paris, I bumped into Angelina Maccaferri, who is a retired teacher and is resid- ing in Geneva, Switzerland but has come over to France to see the Fair. Dorothy—Well, what do you know about this. John Johanson has just arrived from the States. He is the Second Will Hayes, the movie critic. Along with John came Steve Mulak who is to report for the New York Daily Bunk of the sports at the fair. Shirley—Stella Wojnar is running for a prominent position in the Con- necticut Legislature. I hope she will be elected for I am very sure she will make an excellent official. Joe—As you probably know Julia Kozial is the pianist in John Galim- berti’s orchestra and they say John’s orchestra is similar to that of Paul Whiteman. John is trying to put on weight to resemble his predecessor. By the way guess whom I have seen ? —Edna Jordt riding with a blond fel- low in a model T Ford. Some say he is Gene Raymond, but I think not. John—Do you know that Donald Allen, Judge of Probate in Enfield, has used his influence to secure a position for Helen Beck, as postmis- tress of the T’ville Post-Office? Dorothy—Have you heard that Jen- nie Parvelac has just opened a new sh p on the Rue de la Paix ? She de- signs clothes for the wife of the President of France. Modeling in the Shoppe de Parvelac we find Sophie Pavlaki and Katherine Petrakis. Joe—What do you think Emma La- More has done? Emma has gone in for writing essays. Her most famous one is “Silence is Golden.” Shirley—What an awful flood there has been in the Mississippi Valley, but thanks to the Red Cross, the peo- ple have been aided. The heroic work of Corabel Oliver and Antonia Strekas is especially noteworthy. This reminds me that Charlotte Augustiniak, who is superintendent of nurses at St. Lukes Hospital, Chicago, has as her
