Professor Anthony I)i Lorenzo of “Pianka University” reported today that he would no longer labor to in- struct Billy Richards, Enfield Playboy and heir to the Richard’s Lumber Mil- lions, until he learned that the class- room is not the place “to fling the woo” with “Ducky Wucky” Cai’olyn Locke.

Another important social event of the season is the Hedenburg-Hines nuptials. Mr. and Mrs. Hines plan to fly to Bermuda on Daniel Misuraca’s plane.

Lillian Gardner now owns this showplace and has en- gaged as usherettes, Irene Custer, Eileen Cote, Vera Brahman and Marion Knight.

30 The Enfield Echo at this affair members of the football and basketball teams were presented with letters. Allan Comrie and Miss Hedenburg received medals, presented by the D. A. R. at the Memorial Day Assembly, for the best citizen- ship. A class history cannot be given without even mentioning the boys who were outstanding in the various sports. They are as follows: Labutis, Fuge, Nye, Dubiel, Disiacca, Los, Eddy, Sas, Hines and Malley. Seniors, and slightly scared about it all—sort of wishing time would drag—instead, it flies as we draw dangerously close to the cold world. We are glad about lots of things, and although we missed plenty—we’ll miss more—especially Enfield. CLASS PROPHECY (By Lillian Gardner, Virginia Alden, Leon Bajek, Anthony DiLorenzo) Back in the days when we were seniors in Enfield High, a school newspaper was started which was a great success. Since then members of this talented class have achieved fame in different walks of life in all parts of the world. We have had the good fortune of acquiring information about each and every member and have organized a special edition. If in so doing we have shown that that spark of talent, kindled in those carefree days, has burst into a flame of achievement, we will have served our purpose. Cooperating with me in this task are Miss Virginia Alden, Mr. Leon Bajek and Mr. Anthony DiLorenzo. LOCAL NEWS Mayor William Cowles orders guards to shoot any strange person trying to approach the plane which crashed, on its test flight in Enfield, with no serious injury to passengers. Dr. Thomas Smyth and his nurse, Frances Vella, rushed to the scene to administer first aid. Among those reported on board were Jane Pierz, M. G. M. star, es- coi'ted by Director Richard Snyder; “The Soup Brothers”—Soup Camp- bell, Allan Comrie and Elliot Don- nelly, who have recently hit stardom; and Roy Broege, “The Million Dollar Producer,” escorting Genevieve Starr, who is known as the “Rhumba Song- stress.” The plane was piloted by Arthur Allen with Bob Hastings as assistant. “Tracy Nye” and “G-Men” Francis Dubiel and Stanley Krzys conducted the investigation. Their first reports indicated that the plane was brought down by Public Enemy No. 1, “Two- Gun” Ganner and his runner-up, Arthur Gemme, with the help of their “Gun Molls”, Peggy Fitzgerald and Shirley Wetherell. However, final re- ports prove that the party arrested were “happy-go-lucky” bachelors and divorcees trying to have some fun.
