I ADDRESS OF WELCOME Parents and Friends: As President of the Class cf 1936, I extend to everyone a cor- dial and sincere welcome to these Class Night Exercises. Class Night is but the beginning of our Commencement Events; a week cf activities in which we will try to show our appreciation of the deep interest taken in us by our parents and friends. Four short years ago we came into the Enfield High School facing a new life, new problems, and making new friends among students and teachers seizing whatever opportunities for knowledge that came our way. Now, as Seniors, we are about to leave this phase cf our life and to go into the world to bring honor and glory to the name of Enfield. Seme of us will continue our education in higher institutions cf learning; but most of us are ready to take cur places in the business and social world. For my Classmates I may say that we realize we owe a great debt to Enfield. The remarkable and efficient training given to us by our teachers cannot be estimated. Now, in behalf of the Class of 1936 I welcome you to these exercises. By Carl Rostek. CLASS HISTORY (By Thomas Lyons) How well we remember that September morning four years ago when we first entered Enfield as freshmen, with a feeling of wonder concerning what was in store for us. After associating with the upper classmen for two weeks, we were told that we were to be separated, and that we, as freshmen, were to attend school only in the afternoon. The first social event in which we reigned supreme, because of the absence of the dominating seniors, was the Parent-Teachers Reception. The outstanding event of the year was the election of class officers. The result of the election is as follows: President, Stanley 10 The Enfield Echo Swaitowski; Vice-President, Lois King; Secretary, Arlene Chatter- ton; Treasurer, Clark Dempsey; Class Historian, Thomas Lyons; and the executive committee was composed of Francis Monette and Jeanette Landry. Thus ended our freshman year. Having lest all cur freshman timidity, we, as sophomores, began to take a greater interest in the school activities. In the schcci play the “Dcnavan Affair” Edward McDonnell had the role of Professor Donavan and was assisted by Justin Mcnscn, Lois King, and Jewell Fuge. Again we elected officers and found as President, Peter Kaminsky; Vice-President, Lois King; Secretary, Bernadine Scavotto; and Clark Dempsey, Treasurer; Alexander Pilch and Jeanette Landry were chosen for the executive committee. In the annual Hi-Y minstrel, many members of our class par- ticipated. Bernadine Scavotto and Robert Spier, because of their individual parts, contributed to the success of the production. The days flew rapidly by and all too soon we had reached the halfway mark in our career. The following September we entered the high school as “jolly juniors.” We had come to a time when we no longer teased the freshmen. We were far too superior to them. We became absorbed in ourselves and in the seniors. The annual school play “Growing Pains” was ably supported by Robert Spier, William Maddocks, Jewell Fuge, Doris Sisitsky, and Justin Mcnscn. Officers were again elected with Carl Rostek as President; Bernadine Scavctto as Vice-President; Jeanette Landry as Secre- tary; and Arthur Beeman as Treasurer. The executive committee was completed by Justin Monson and Evelyn Dixon. A trip to Washington was discussed and plans were made for the following year. Once more the Hi-Y minstrel went over with a “bang” with Lorraine Davis as one of the endmen and Bernadine Scavotto and Mary Brutto as soloists. In April the annual Junior Prom was held with Carl Rostek as Host and Bernadine Scavctto as Hostess. The Operetta “Hulda of Holland” had four of our class in it; Arthur Blowen, Bernadine Scavotto, Malcolm Krolisky, and Esther Faiman. The 300th Anniversary of the founding of the high schools was held in the auditorium and many members of our class aided in its production. Thus with many regrets' we left our junior year. At last the year that we had anticipated for so long arrived— our senior year. The first social event came with our Senior Prom. Louis Scavotto was elected Host and Jewell Fuge was chosen Hostess. The auditorium was suitably decorated with the class colors— scarlet and gold. The Enfield Echo II The senior officers were elected as follows: Carl Rostek, Presi- dent; Bernadine Scavotto, Vice-President; Jeanette Landry, Secre- tary ; and Louis Scavotto, Treasurer. The executive committee was formed by Milo Wilcox. Mr. Langford coached another successful Hi-Y minstrel and it was put on with the racing idea. Carl Rcstek, Lorraine Davis, and Celia Quinn were endmen, with Justin Monson as interlocutor. The debating team had five members of our class: Francis Glista, Edward Manning, Milo Wilcox, Arthur Blowen, and Doris Sisitsky. The One Act Play “Cleaned and Pressed” was held in South Hadley. Esther Faiman and Edward McDonnell had important parts. The school play was coached by Miss Meyer. The cast con- sisted of the following seniors: Malcolm Krolisky, Robert Spier, William Maddocks, Lois King, Jewell Fuge, Arthur Blowen, Mary Alaimo, Stewart Block and Betty Raiche. Of course, we cannot forget our athletic ability. In football we had Stewart Block. In basketball we had Carl Rostek, Richard Organ and Walter Strycharz. In baseball we had Richard Organ, Carl Rcstek, Walter Strycharz and Frank Locario. In track we had a great high-jumper in William Boyle, and John Santanella starred on the tennis team. On the golf team we had Thomas Lyons, Justin Monson and William Boyle. During the spring recess, some of us had a very enjoyable and instructive trip to Washington. Soon after our return it was announced that because of their scholastic attainment, Doris Sisitsky and Lois King were to be the valedictorian and salutatorian. One of the most outstanding things that our class did was to publish a school newspaper called “Skoolnues.” Justin Monson was the editor and Thomas Lyons was assistant editor. Now our high school career is approaching its climax. Only once again shall we be assembled as a class—on graduation day. These four years, however, could not have been possible without the splendid cooperation of two factors—our parents, who have strug- gled and denied themselves that we might have that great oppor- tunity—a higher education;—and the faculty “those who bore with us in our freshman year, threatened us in our sophomore days, pleaded with us as juniors, and tolerated us as seniors.” May we always be worthy of the respect and admiration of these faithful sponsors of our success as we push forward and ever upward. 12 The Enfield Echo CLASS PROPHECY THE SCRAPBOOK OF Evelyn Dixon, Shirley Halsted, William Lamont and John Santanella 1936-1950 Faiman Wins Suit; Loses Tooth Miss Esther Faiman, well known woman high-jumper, won her damage suit of fifty cents against Dr. Louis Sca- votto, dentist. Miss Faiman claims that Scavotto dropped her nose when he pulled her tooth. Court clerk, Jewell Fuge, was the main point of interest in the trial. Atty. Pajot handled the case for Scavotto (no wonder he lest) while Edward McDonnell sup- ported Miss Faiman. Judge Fred Shea handed down the decision. Shades of Sally Rand Thomas Lyons and John Philbin are co-editors of the Fan-Dance, which is such a worth successor to Ballyhoo, that they are visiting in jail. The gossip column editor, Miss Betty Raiche, will carry on during their term off duty. Wood to the Jungle Miss Margaret Wood, noted African explorer, called Bring- ’Em - Back - Alive Marne, is planning another expedition, this time to look for pink ele- phants and purple lizards. Miss Wood is employed by the Smithsonian Institute.

Senate Sleeps as Filibuster Foams The Senate, after debating | that much discussed question: | “Should children allow their | parents to dominate them” | has been sleeping for several | days. That explosive and ar- ! gumen tative Senator from | Connecticut, Francis Glista, | has been filibustering again. | Senator Glista broke his old | record of fifty-one hours, six | minutes and ten seconds by i exactly three hours, five min- ! utes and twenty seconds. His | arguments ranged from the | methods of producing Boston | baked beans and brown bread | to the latest dope on rubber | bathing suits. | Latest Invention of Lebeshevsky Proves a Success Daniel Lebeshevsky, re- The Enfield Echo 13 nowned inventor of comforts §§ for cows, has completed his g new contrivance devised for g the protection of cows against jj flies, mosquitos and bees. This little device has only | to be attached to the tail of g the animal, plugged into an jj electric light socket and in- jj stantly the suction carries all i the insects into the mouth of j the contrivance, where there g is a jellylike substance which §| makes it impossible for the in- g sect to get away. Senate Charges Bills Bill Boyle and Bill Mad- 1 docks, heads of the Pacific g Munitions Works, are up be- g fore the Senate Munitions In- l quiry Board on the charge of g selling water pistols to school g boys.

Eugene Osikowicz on E “Brevity” came in second. Carl Rostek, owner and j§ trainer of “Blue Boy Destro,” 1 won the preliminary race. |j Carl was called upon to give his secret of getting horses into shape. He explained that there is nothing to it. All you have to do is give the horse a good ink bath. This, he says, takes out the laziness. Pete Kaminsky, Frank Lo- cario, Joseph Bania and Catcher Wally Strycharz have just joined the Yanks of Scit- ico, owned by Leroy Oliver. Dick Organ’s ambition was partly realized yesterday.

She was released be- 1 rause of her naive refusal to g k;ss her leading man at re- § hearsals. Margaret August has picked g a perfect dance partner for l her new picture, “Dancing §j Dawn.” He is none other than g that foot-loose and fancy-free, g ex-gigolo, heart-breaker Justin i Monson (late of the Cafe 1 Paree). j A double has at last been § found for Slim Summerville, g You’ve guessed it—Adolph § Eddo Wing. We think his g name will soon be in the g bright lights of Broadway. Maureen Tierney has just | returned from London after g giving the Englishmen a 1 break. She will start on her g new picture shortly. Est. 1940 Tel.

The Enfield Echo 23 ADVICE TO UNDERGRADUATES (Robert Spier) Now that the time has come for me in behalf of this great and noble senior class, to give to you future seniors, juniors, and sopho- mores, a little friendly advice, I am stumped with the huge task before me in trying to instill in your weak and childish minds a sense of responsibility for this wonderful school of ours. If you do not quite understand, undergraduates, we will try to be patient with you because we realize just what your responsibilities are and you cannot be expected to do too much. Well anyway here is con- structive advice which, if not assimilated by you undergraduates, I dread to think of just what will happen to this school when the seniors are no longer at its head. Therefore: Juniors and future seniors, when you are at the head of the school do not in any way lower yourselves in talking to the future juniors or sophomores except when business demands it. If you do not take this advice you will find your hands full of unruly pupils. Also when you are in the estate of seniors you must reprieve severely any attempt of the Juniors and sophomores to leave the assembly hall, before you have left. Indeed if it were not for this class of ours having put you undergraduates into place at the begin- ning of the year I dread to think of what would have happened to this noble school of ours. You sophomores and next year Juniors I must say have been extremely out of place in the quiet life of Enfield High and it has been our task several times to rebuke you and, I think in fact I know we have succeeded. I wish you would show just a little of the respect you have shown for us to the next year seniors. Indeed they will be proud and happy if they could get one quarter of the deference you have shown us at all times. It shows you know what a noble class is leading you. It is one that demands respect and gets it. So, future juniors, try and show just a little respect for your next year leaders if you can possibly lower yourselves to be bossed by such an inferior class. As for the freshmen they have undoubtedly been the meekest class that has ever entered Enfield High School. In fact, they have had none whatsoever of the spirit the other freshmen had in years gone by. I believe that they have secured their lesson from other freshmen classes before them. They undoubtedly have realized what a class of leaders we have been and they learned their lesson early and have acted like nice little children should act. If they are like this next year they will be able to conduct themselves like dainty little sophomores should and everything will go along nicely. In conclusion I would like to give a few of the examples of what our wonderful class has done. First we bought our own tickets to go to Washington. We are giving notice to you future seniors to be prepared to pay for your own year book. We hope we have given it in time so you will have 24 The Enfield Echo saved enough money to buy them with. Incidentally our class was given three weeks notice—did that phase us? No! of course your class cannot expect to be as industrious as ours is so I’m going to tell you a year head in order that you will be prepared. Our class has also been noted for its loyal spirit to this school and I dread to think of what the school will be like next year when it is in the hands of a totally inferior class, but 1 guess we can only hope for the best and tell the future seniors that in order to main- tain the highest standing of culture, wisdom and refinements which can be obtainable, you must follow the record of the class of ’36. But now, in real sincerity I wish to say that we the class of ’36 have had four wonderful years here and we wish you all the suc- cess for the years to come and we thank you one and all for your splendid cooperation and loyalty you have shown us. RESPONSE TO UNDERGRADUATES (Edward White, 1937) Seniors: We thank you for your generosity in giving us this advice but stop worrying about us immediately. We will manage nicely and we can assure you that the school will not close per- manently because of your departure. Above all, seniors, stop worry- ing, for it is especially bad for the poorly developed brain. You tell us not to talk with the future sophomores and juniors except on business. Why don’t you practice what you preach? Many a male graduate has been seen engaged in conversation with one of the attractive underclass girls and enjoying it immensely. You have said to be sure that the underclassmen remain in the assembly until the seniors have passed to class. You have given us your class as an example. If we remember correctly, the only time that the seniors were out of the assembly hall before the underclassmen this year, was when they idiotically ran out like kindergarten children. Didn’t I hear the senior representative speak of the future junior class being out of place in the school? Listen, on the football team last fall, there was one senior to six sophomores. This seems to put the senior out of place. Your speaker talks of the freshmen class as being meek. We noticed in the Jumbo Jamboree that the freshmen sold out in the fish pond twice but we didn’t hear that the seniors sold out their supply of ice cream and soda. Now your representative goes on to speak of the great things his class has done. They bought their own tickets for Washington. This was undoubtedly because they were too lazy to get out and raise funds. He goes on to say “We raised the money for a class book in three weeks.” Why, seniors, I am surprised that with your ability and ingenuity that you didn’t raise the money in shorter time. I would have suggested cutting out chewing gum and then the money would have been raised in one week. But in all seriousness, we want you to know that as long as some class had to lead us we are glad it was the class of 1936.

Maddocks) Ladies and gentlemen, teachers and fellow sufferers: Acting rs attorney for the lately deceased Class of 1936 it is my solemn duty tonight to acquaint you with the last will and testament cf said group, dividing among you the wishes and articles of value according to the dictates of my honored clients. Being of sound mind and body, we, the Class of 1936 do hereby bequeath to the following persons such articles as listed in this most reverend document. While the bequests are not financial due to our wanderlust v hile in Washington we do leave with good heart the following: Item: To Mr. Lee, our fond and eminent principal, we bequeath our deepest regrets at leaving his fatherly guidance. Item: We give our sincerest appreciation and gratitude to the faculty who have struggled with us for years not without success. Item: We bequeath to “Frosty” Ferguson, our beloved singing janitor our best wishes for a continued success in the musical world, and for his generous supply of heat during the long winter months. Item: The following bequests we make in good faith, hoping they will be received in like spirit: 1st. To Eddy White we leave Edo Wing’s secret growth for- mula. 2nd. To Ed. Burns we leave Eddie McDonnell’s English accent to be used to wile away the time in future assemblies. 3rd. We bequeath to anyone with courage enough to pull it from between his clinched molars Stewart Block’s corn cob pipe. 4th. We leave “Ducky” Ganner’s remarkable ability to play the flute to Shirley Wetherall. 5th. To anyone with strength enough to lift it we leave Dick Organ’s Hi-Y paddle. 6th. To some thoughtful Junior we leave Doris Sisitsky’s un- solved theories in Mathematics. 7th. We donate the water pistols belonging to the three musketeers to the first three applicants in case Mr. Lee does not get them first. Sad to relate, they have been surrendered. 8th. To Kenney Leach we leave Tommy Lyon’s ability to talk a lot and say little. 9th. We bequeath to Dexter Green Bill Boyle’s ability to high jump 6 feet. 3 feet up and 3 feet down. 10th.

To Bill McClaron, our assistant janitor, we bequeath Danny Lebeshevsky’s luxurious black, curley toupee to be used as a floor mop should his regular broom become lost, strayed or stolen. 13th. We donate the idea of conducting future study halls in the park for nature loving students who are out there most of the time, anyway. 14th. We donate to Bill Fuge a pair of horse clippers so that a better job can be done on worthy heads of future Hi-Y entrants. 15th. We leave the responsibility of bringing back that part of the Washington Monument that the seniors left behind to Richard Stevens. 16th. We reluctantly give to Bill Richards all the wads of gum we have enjoyed. 17th. To Daniel Misuraca we gladly give the remainder of Mrs. Eddy’s detention slips. 18th. To Carolyn Locke we bequeath Sis August’s place in front of the mirror in the Girl’s Room. 19th.

To the school we leave Bob Spier’s shoes to be used as rafts during the next flood. 21st. We donate Alfreda Pluto’s rowing machine to Wenare Vesce. 22nd. We bequeath to Lawrence Browne Ozzie Osikewicz’s double chin. 23rd. To the first one sending in three coupons from Mother’s Oats we will give “Bone” Mangerian’s herculean figure. In bringing this document to a conclusion it is only fitting that we appoint executors to see that its provisions are carried out. In this capacity we hereby appoint a committee composed of the fol- lowing prominent citizens: Karl D. Lee, Louis Van Doren, Louis Burns. (Signed) William Maddocks, Attorney.

The purpose of this program is to give the student a liberal and cultural education and a vocational competence which fits him to enter some specific type of useful employment. COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Offers a college program with broad and thorough training in the principles of business with specialization in ACCOUNTING, BANK- ING AND FINANCE, or BUSINESS MANAGEMENT. Instruction is through modern methods including lectures, solution of business problems, class discussions, professional talks by business executives, and motion pictures of manufacturing processes. COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Provides complete college programs in Engineering with professional courses in the fields of CIVIL, MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL, CHEMICAL, INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING, and ENGINEERING ADMINISTRATION.

Under this plan the student is able to earn a portion of his school expenses as well as to form business con- tacts which prove valuable in later years.
