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.

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.
