14 The Enfield Echo 48 Riverside Drive West Wallop, Conn. My dear Inquirer: For your enlightenment, my present occupation is agricultural. I have a small farm on which I raise tomatoes, potatoes and five children. Dudley Bridge is a near neighbor of mine—he lives five miles down the road. He is seeking local color for a book, the sixth in a series for girls, entitled “Polly Ann in the Country.” In this vicinity there is a deaf and dumb school directed by Elizabeth Tower and Alice Baranaski. John Labutis is an expert instructor in this institution. Bernice Sheridan is our local police chief. Her right hand men are Nick Dell Aquilia and Portenski. They make excellent officers. This community is also proud of its picturesque Inn which is owned by Eva Tamulis. The whole countryside praises her delicious food. The dandelions and burdock must be weeded now. So, best wishes from Your Informer, Alexander Gracewski. Rue de la Chatte Paris, France “Mon cher ami “Comment ce-va?” It was “certainement” a fascinating idea for a-what you call? chain letter. I know you must be astonished to see the letterhead. “Mais oui,” I am the greates’ modiste in all Paris. My models are “tres” popular; Marge Charette, Mina Crombie, Nonie Hanrahan, Hazel Ghabour, Rita Manning and Marion Fahey. Rita Sullivan, “aussi” a model, has start a fad, it ees what you say a ribbon in the hair. My creations for the sport men are “tres chic.” These are modeled by Sweeney, Donnelly and Robert Elmer McIn- tosh. All these styles designed by Eleanor Eddy and Earl Reed. “Ah, oui,” John Mish and Lawrence Rostek are messengers ici. Two of my customers, the most distinguees,” are Carmelina Gaetani who is firs’ woman ambassador to Italie and Rita Fay who studies the music in Vienna. Au revoir, mon ami, Esther Frigon. Mars Dear Far Away Friends: You will instantly think on noticing the address of this letter that it should be changed to the residence of some state hospital for the insane. I am the leader of an expedition to this planet for research purposes. Kazmierski, famous historian, is with us, compiling data

The Enfield Echo 13 my position largely through the influence of Joe O’Brien, booking agent for the show. Our featured aerialists are W. Collins and D. Reveruzzi. They perform without nets, using as a safety device a special parachute designed by John Albert, famous inventor. H. Plank, T. Mockalis and E. Howard don grease-paint for every performance and are considered the three best clowns in the United States. Yesterday they caused the twins of the former Mildred Taylor to become hysterical. In the sideshow we find Mary Smyth and Shirley Keeney as dancers “extraordinaire.” During the intermission Bernice Stiles sells peanuts, popcorn and candy. Edmund Rossi, political com- mentator, is her best customer. Bill Malley, who never stopped growing, is employed as the tallest man in the world. C. Bidwell is also a member of this amazing troupe. M. Santanella is the ticket girl here. Come and see the circus when it is in town, but leave your watch home. Remember I’m a magician. h C ' h Frew Terrace Thompsonville, Ct. Hello, Alaska: You had faith and hope in the chain letter mania and I am going to supply the charity by telling you of what our classmates are doing around town. As for myself I am happily married and have two children. Last evening I went to Powder Hollow Night Club where I danced to the music of Francis Cygan and his Peerless Orchestra. Irvin Johnson plays saxophone, Rose Schianca, is the pianist and Helen Pease is the blues singer with a tear in her voice. I was welcomed by H. Zuraw and S. Maniscalco who are the hostesses. I purchased my furniture, at the time of my marriage, from Enrico Guala, in whose store Ruth Malley is demonstrating a chaise lounge. She excels in this, as you might realize, if you remember her ability to sleep all day and enjoy herself at night. Amelia Chmura’s new alarm clock is being displayed. It consists of a siren, a shower, and boxing gloves. My weekly trip to the beauty parlor brings to mind more of our fellow alumni. The business is owned by Leona Michko and Dot Brennen whose efficiency comes from the practice they had in setting each other’s hair through our four years at Enfield. Jean Herr demonstrates Wildroot Shampoo and Anne Bezak is a capable assistant. You will be interested to learn that Steve Gracewski is head of the Language Department at Enfield High, Edward Mullen is the janitor and Edythe McCallum is taking a Post-Graduate Course. Sincerely, Barbara Mallard.

The Enfield Echo for a book, the covers of which will be too far apart. Mendrala, Pietrusza, Albert, Resta and Gray manned the controls of the space ship which brought us here. Carrie Pease, Ruth Snow and Alice Pellaio are up here for the same reason the bear went over the mountain. Unfortunately the residents of this planet do not under- stand English which requires our making a trip back to pick up some English teachers, C. Wirth and E. Prior. They are progress- ing fairly well. C. Emanuele and C. Woronecki are with us as maid and cook respectively. Sincerely, John Devine.
