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 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.
