ZTbc Enftclb Ecbo Published at intervals during the school year by the members of the Enfield Public High School, Thompsonville, Conn. Entered as second-class matter February 21, 1917, at the Post Office at Thompsonville, Conn., under the Act of March 3. 1879. VOL. 27 THOMPSONVILLE, CONN., JUNE 1939 NO. 1 “ADDRESS OF WELCOME” (By Ernest Burgess) It is my extreme pleasure as President of the Class of Nineteen Hundred Thirty-Nine to welcome all present to the Class Night Program. Tonight marks the beginning of our commencement week which brings to a close four years happily spent at Enfield High. The class wishes to extend their sincere thanks to parents for all sacrifices made in our behalf, to the Principal and Teachers for their inspiration and guidance. The Class Night Committee, having worked diligently to pre- pare an entertaining and novel program presenting the highlights of our four years, sincerely hope you enjoy it. CLASS HISTORY (By Thomas Sullivan) Tonight you, the audience are to act as critics of a new play which as yet hasn’t opened on Broadway. It is entitled, “The High School Life of the Class of ’39.” Due to limited time and facilities we cannot present the play itself. Instead I will read it to you and try to bring out its dramatic qualities. Now on with the pfay. ACT I Setting—An institution of learning, namely, The Enfield High School. Time—A bright September afternoon in the year 1935. Characters—The Class of 1939. The Class of ’39 enters the Enfield High School as Frightened, Finicky, Freshmen. Their first day as Freshmen is a harrowing experience but in an amazingly short time they blossom out into the most brilliant Freshmen class of all time. Unlike most Fresh- men classes who have been more or less mud under the feet of the upperclassmen, the Class of ’39 steps out and takes over. In their 22 The Enfield Echo first year they take part in the Jumbo Jamboree and have the upper- classmen green with envy over their fishing booth. The feature of the year is the election of the class officers. Ernest Burgess is elected President, Vice-President, Margaret Leach; Margaret Cook, Secretary; and Eli Raffia, Treasurer. ACT II Setting—Same as Act 1. Time—About eight weeks later. Characters—Same as Act 1 who have now become sophisticated sophomores, and joined the ranks of the intelligencia. As Sophomores the talents which served them so well in their Freshmen year are further brought out in the Hi-Y Minstrel di- rected by Mr. Langford, and entitled “Air Revue.” The vocal solos of Mary McNally and Frank Morrison are the highlights of the show. For the first time in many years the music department pro- duces a light opera entitled the “Pirates of Penzance.” The pro- duction is helped by the talents of Frank Morrison and Irene Hoersch. The class officers are Ernest Burgess, President; Mary Sheehan, Vice-President; Dorothy Allen, Secretary; and Donald Sullivan, Treasurer. ACT III Scene—Same as Act 2. Time—About eight weeks later. Characters—Same as Act 2 but they have developed into serious minded in- dividuals. As Juniors, the Class of ’39 selects Ernest Burgess, President; Mary Sheehan, Vice-President; Dorothy Allen, Secretary; Donald Sullivan, Treasurer. The first important social event of the year is the annual Hi-Y Minstrel, presented following the plan of a Showboat Revue. James Donnelly, Mary McNally, Thomas Sullivan and Frank Morrison, along with many other members of the Junior Class help make the production a huge success. Mr. Langford is again the director. Next on the social calendar is the school play entitled “The Charm School” presented under the direction of Miss Javorski. Margaret Leach, Mary Halak, Janet Campbell and Carmelina Di Fredo who hold leading roles, contribute in a large way to the success of the play. The next undertaking of the class (with the help of a few Seniors) is the Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta entitled H. M. S. Pin- afore and directed by Mr. Merritt. Leading parts are taken by David Johnston, Janet Armstrong, and Robert Leggett. The crowning Social Event of the year is the Junior Prom which proves to be a social and financial success. Host Alden Ridley and Hostess Janet Armstrong preside over the gala affair. Thus ends the Junior Year of the Class of ’39. The Enfield Echo 23 ACT IV Scene—Same as preceding acts. Time—About 8 weeks later. Characters—Class of ’39 who have achieved the envious title of “Dignified Seniors.” To guide them in their Senior year, the Class of ’39 elects Ernest Burgess—President, Mary Sheehan—Vice-President, Jean Conley—Secretary, Donald Sullivan—Treasurer. To start the year ofF with a bang a large number of the class takes part in the annual Hi-Y Minstrel entitled “Nite Club Revue.” Stars of the show are David Johnston, Thomas Sullivan, Frank Morrison, Mary McNally, Janet Armstrong, Desmond Hyde and Robert Leggett. Mr. Langford directs again. Next they put on one of the most successful Senior Proms in years. Host David Dolge and Hostess Marilyn Coons present a striking appearance at this social affair. After their Christmas Vacation the Senior Class returns and begins work on the school play entitled “Come Out of the Kitchen.” Included in the “All Senior Cast” are Margaret Cook, Janet Campbell, Janet Armstrong, Eleanor Smith, Mary Halak, Raymond Kaminsky, Joseph Bosco, Alden Ridley, Francis Smith, Frank Morrison and Thomas Sullivan. The production is under the able direction of Miss Javorski. The one-act play “A Proposal Under Difficulties” represents Enfield in the one-act play festival. The director is Miss Collins and the cast is composed of Margaret Cook, Janet Campbell, David Dolge and Joseph Bosco. Enfield’s debating team finishes second in the State finals. The argumentative abilities of David Johnston, Frank Morrison, Mary Halak, Raymond Kaminsky, and Ruth Damon were the highlights of the debating campaign. The first week of May finds about 70 members of the Senior Class following the tradition of the annual Washington visit. The trip will live long in the memories of those who were fortunate enough to go. The Enfield High Static blossoms out into a first-class literary publication. Miss Crombie, the faculty advisor; Margaret Cook, the editor; and Margaret Leach, Katherine McLaren, Janet Campbell, Carol Horner, Stanley Nosal, and Hubert McCormack who made up the rest of the staff, have a lot to be proud of. In the list of outstanding athletes are the names of Borski, Melfa, Nosal, Porcello, Morrison, Scavatto, Bernier and Zawada. Most of these boys starred in sports all through their High School Careers. During the Junior and Senior Years the Class of ’39 lost two of its most respected members, Lottie Bigos and Frederick Fitzgerald. It is to them that we, the Class of ’39, dedicate this class history. 24 The Enfield Echo To ring down the curtain with a fitting quotation, I quote from Thomas Heywood who said: “The world’s a theatre, the earth a stage, which God and Nature do with actors fill.” THE CLASS PROPHECY OF 1939 (By Donald Sullivan, Helen Jedziniak, Thomas La Russa, Palma Mancini) Scene—Gypsy Camp Part I—By Donald Sullivan We the internationally known “Phoney Forecasters” have been requested by that remarkable and unforgettable Class of 1939 to peer into the future and prophesy coming events up to 1950. We are gypsies who have traveled from the Soviet to Sacramento. We are known for our ability to forecast the future aided by our magic kettle. As I gaze into the future, I see: Dorothy Allen as a school teacher out in the great plains of West Wallop. Mary Angelica and Virginia Chillson out in Hollywood where they are both fighting for the part of Scarlett O’Hara, I think that glamour girl Shirley Temple will get it. Leslie Andrew is still out in Pine Point where he is building a twenty-room cottage for the summer. Janet Armstrong, the boyfriends are still four deep in front of her house. Jean Bailes is the matron at the Prison for Women Drivers. Grace Cimino is her secretary. Adele Baj is at the head of Frank Cook’s hospital for aged dogs. Dorothy Vivier and Kenneth Pelkey have just finished their latest experiment of raising bananas without the peels. Agnes and Leona Baltronis are doing a sister act at Ernie Burgess’s “Nab and Stab Casino.” Nuvart Baronian and Margaret Cook are partners in a Speech Activity School with Evelyn Cormier acting as the Principal. Malcolm Bernier, the boy who looks like Joe Di Maggio, is bat boy for the Shaker Nine. Wanda Blondek runs a dude ranch for Marilyn Coons who is too busy taking care of her own dude, David Dolge. Charles Borski has just been elected coach of Enfield’s base- ball team because the team won the championship and the last coach got a stroke. Antoinette Bosco is happily married to that bread winner, Jerry Cardone. The Enfield Echo 25 Joseph Bosco is a matinee idol with the W. P. A. Theater Guild. Barbara Bouchard is secretary for the big steel magnate, Donald Comstock, who by the way is still walking to Rockville to see his girl. Mary Cammilleri is a hairdresser at Irene Clarkin’s beauty parlor. Donald Campbell prints the “Shopping News” now instead of delivering it. Howard Hicks is leading an orchestra at the Cassotta Sisters’ Dine and Dance Palace. Frances Casavant is teaching pygmies the secrets of chemistry in dense, dark Africa. Nicholas Bartlotta has just been signed up in Hollywood to take the leading part in “The Great Lover.” Rita Charest has opened a beauty salon and she is her own best customer for cosmetics. Charles Comparetto the organizer of hitch-hikers of America has just completed a two day tour of Suffield and Somers. Frank Morrison and Jean Conley are happily stored away in a small bungalow with all of Frank’s camera equipment. Part II—By Helen Jedziniak Our magic kettle reveals the following interesting information : Alden Ridley living on his model cow farm in Scitico where he trains Jersey cows to eat Hershey bars and give malted milk. Then 1 quickly glance into Texas where 1 see Leger Starr as the model drugstore cowboy. Edward Ryan sits in the middle of Asia where he has just finished his latest edition on Chemistry entitled “How and When to Study It.” In Washington I notice Jane Wagg at the head of the taxicab monopoly. Now she can argue with the customer instead of the driver concerning the fare (as she did on her last Washington trip). Also spending time there is Senator Stephen Wence who is trying to push through a new bill for allowing students to attend class at their own convenience. My eyes tour the world and I see in India, Francis Symth play- ing strip poker with Mahatma Ghandi. In addition there is John Renals who is running a roller coaster concession in a park owned by Joseph Wlodkoski. I quickly move towards France and there I see “Tommy” Sullivan who is showing the thirty million Frenchmen where they were wrong. I also see Alice Szczepanek and Jennie Narewski who are there on a vacation from their jobs as models. They are looking for the same thirty million Frenchmen that “Tommy” Sullivan took care of. Marilyn Rush is there giving pointers to the French women as to how to become domestic, just like she was back in Enfield. 26 The Enfield Echo Jean Oates that well-known opera star is giving a concert for the benefit of the aged members of the Class of 1939. I swiftly focus my eyes on Russia where that famous Com- munistic leader Robert Underwood is giving a soap box speech on nothing in particular and everything in general. Mary Sheehan and Delia Swades are also there trying to teach the Russian women how to save time by planting zippers with the potatoes so they won’t have to peel them later on. Evelyn Santenella is at the head of the Salvation Army in Enfield. Elizabeth Watton, Dorothy Tamulis, and Sarah Theofiles are models at a dress shop which is owned by Elizabeth Shea where Katherine Russoto is a fully equipped commercial advertiser. John White is a full fledged radio operator on a ship bound for the wilds of Borneo. Edmund Zawada and Eli Raffia, two sports writers, are taking a trip on the same boat. To supply the demand for all day suckers Mary Santenella and Mary Shea have opened their new and elaborate lollypop shop. Frank Zyck has just opened a restaurant in Enfield where his star customers, William Jatkevicius and Mary Roczniak, newly elected coaches of a basketball team keep him pretty busy. Sophie Pierz, Fannie Pohorylo and Carmel Soricelli are on a hunting expedition looking for strange animals for the zoo owned by Eleanor Smith. Last, but not least, is Enfield’s own “King of Rhythm” Dcnald Sullivan who is teaching the natives in Africa how to beat the tom toms. Part III—By Thomas La Russa As I dabble in the future, I see: Arthur Manning beating on the drums at Mike Melfa’s new night club in Powder Hollow. As a feature attraction there is Eileen Sullivan and Bob Leggett, the new dancing team. The magic pot reveals Hubert McCormack Public Enemy No. 1 being captured by Henry Polek latest of the G-Men. Teddy Ludwin noted shyster rushes to McCormack’s defense. As the bubbling water clears, it reveals Marie Lord who has a millionaire in her old classmate, Thomas La Voi. Jeanette Lehmann has secured a position in the State Employ- ment Agency where she is the state critic. Janice Neelans newly appointed state supervisor has just com- pleted a civil service test. In far away Italy I see John Provenzano playing in Mussolini’s musical unit. In Enfield Vincent Porcello has just finished walking his last mile to the altar with Edna Matyskela. Stan Luczai has just won the ten-mile walking race. Palma Mancini has secured the position of head dress designer The Enfield Echo 27 at Alfred Lees’s exclusive dress shop in Scitico. Vivian MacFawn noted society woman, is her most elite customer. Lena Maggio has just opened up an Ice Cream Parlor in Alaska, and her best patron is Katherine McLaren, noted tennis champ, who uses snowballs and snowshoes to play the game. Earl Pelkey left Mary McNally waiting at the altar so that he could pop the question to his old flame, Mary O’Hara. Nathalie Nuccio and John Rybick are winning new acclaim and laurels for being the new jitterbug champs of the country. Josephine Piorek has become the Greta Garbo of the stage. Marjorie Malley has just been appointed first woman mail carrier in Thompsonville. Helen Navikonis recently secured her fifth divorce from the well-known explorer, Joseph Scavatto. Sophie Pcdosek has become adviser to the lovelorn and some of her best clients are Jean Moore, Molly Miltner, and Cynthia Oliver. Louis Sperrazza, alias “Little Caesar,” just robbed the Babies Lollypop Bank stealing 3,000 lollypops. ‘ Charles Brutto has just found a new way of shaving without the use of cream or razor. The method he uses is the spreading of milk on his chin and the cat licks it off. Joseph Italiano just broke the record of filibustering: He talked for five days in a row in order to stop Senator Stan Nosal’s bill concerning W. P. A. funds in the rocky hills of Suffield. Part IV—By Palma Mancini The magic kettle does not contain much more information but I can make out a few more details: Carmela Criscitelli, a noted foot doctor, and her two assistants, Ruth Damon and Mary Di Lorenzo, are holding a patient down while she goes to work. James Gaetani is a family man with four children and his poor wife, Wanda Koski is being worked to death. Carmelina Di Fredo is the new Physical Instructor at Enfield High and she is proving her new theory that you can just as well teach the students sitting down as standing up. Oh, here is an interesting future, Lillian Gemme has become the wife of that great Metropolitan tenor Desmond Hyde. There’s Genevra Hastings, that lovely little debutante, and that heartbreaking Romeo Joseph Goles who are altar-bound. Margaret Leach has been modeling street clothes at the famous restaurant “Sloppy Jane” which is owned by Lillian and Doris Kelly. Some of the waitresses there are Mary Halak, Irene Hoersch and Ellen Gibson. Thomas La Russa, that famous criminal lawyer, has a very 28 The Enfield Echo interesting case on hand between Gene Lavigne and Robert Haight concerning a new counterfeiting machine. I see calamity for Marion Cicoria if she continues to run around with David Devlin the renowned hitch-hiking king. Joseph Gracewski has won a crown for being the best ham and egg raiser. Helen Jedziniak is superintendent of the State Reformatory for Women. She is happy in her work because she is able to put into practice her theory of—“How to Reform Delinquent Girls” by the modern method of fun and freedom. Wendla Redstone, Virginia Field, Theresa Gaudet and Dorothy Duggan have taken a new manual training course at Boys’ Town. Carol Horner has just finished a cartoon which will be exhib- ited at the 1999 World’s Fair. Her model was the famous comedy star, Janet Campbell. David Johnston and Raymond Kaminsky have just won the combined award for their marvelous performance in “Franken- stein’s Greatest Scare.” Eleanor Hyland and Fannie Haznar have signed a contract to advertise snowshoes in California. Gladys Falkowski has opened a new tea room near Fresh- water Bridge. At opening night she had as guest artist the only collegian goldfish swallower, Florence Falkowski. The magic liquid in the kettle has served its purpose and ceases to bubble. The “Phoney Forecasters” hope their predictions have pleased you and now we bid you adieu.

He who says little has nothing to answer for.” IN MEMORIAM Our hearts may be gladdened because we have reached the first important goal in our life, but we recall with sorrow that two members of the Class of 1939 are no longer with us. Two friends and classmates, Lottie Bigos and r rederick Fitzgerald, have passed away from earthly troubles and joys to finei and more wonderful things above. They have reached and successfully passed the highest goal attainable. Died December 2, 1938 Buddy Fitzgerald was one of the finest fellows who ever attended Enfield High School. During his three years at Enfield he made himself known through his ability and willingness. Here was a person who could be depended on He was an active member on the Hi-Y Club, serving as treasurer last year; manager of the athletic teams; and prominent in all school functions. His friendly disposition and personality endeared him in the hearts of all. Died April 9, 1938 Lottie Bigos will always be remembered as a quiet, refined girl, who carried on her work diligently. Although she was unable to attend school regularly, due to illness, she was praised by her teachers, for being able to keep up her work. Despite her illness she participated in a few school activ- ities. She was a willing and able student admired by all who knew her.

With grateful hearts we praise thy name, Hail to Enfield High, We will strive to honor thee, As the years go by. 68 Th e Enfield Echo ADVICE TO THE UNDERGRADUATES (By Robert Leggett) Ladies, Gentlemen, Taxpayers and my dear Little Friends of the Underclasses: It is my painful duty to follow tradition and advise these un- sophisticated little imps, who after tomorrow night must be strictly on their own. How they are going to miss the guiding hand of the Class of ’39. Without us, as an example to follow day by day, I truly tremble for them. I know this advice is a waste of energy on my part, being what they are, but alas! it is imperative that nothing be left undone that has the slightest possibility of improving their state. First of all I wish to speak to the JUNIOR CLASS. Subnormal though you may be, at least fifty percent of you will, I am sure, pass on probation into the Senior Class. Seniors? Ha! Glamour girls and jazz boys, you are to rule the school. In order to succeed, I will give you some advice. Any of you who play in the school orchestra must keep up the standard for sour notes. This year your record was excellent. Twelve discords apiece at rehearsals and two at each finished per- formance. Junior Home Economics girls, when you cook something make sure it tastes as good as it smells. The odors that have wafted through the corridors from Room 5 have been most tantalizing. Many an illustrious Senior has wasted valuable time by following these odors, only to find, on reaching the Home Economics room, a conglomeration, unfit for man or beast. Next year in study hall sit in the back and make all the rumpus you want to. After all you will be privileged Seniors. Take advan- tage of it. When the school was built the name Study Hall was applied to the wrong room. Room 26 is really, on the plans, the Recreation room. Don’t let the teachers pull the wool over your eyes. Just have a good time while you are there. SOPHOMORES: Please! Oh please! Won’t you grow up? Last year you were Freshmen. This year you were supposed to have been Sophomores. I really did not see much change in your attitude, nor have you outgrown your childish characteristics. Oh yes, a few of your females did learn the art of plucking their eye- brows, but after all, that is only permissible for Senior girls. It truly is absurd for you little lassies to do such a thing. The boys, I notice, are wearing flashy socks. That, too, is trespassing on Senior rights. A few improvements have been made, I grant you, but next year you must take your place as the second highest class. Make a “flop” of one prom at least to warrant your being called Juniors. The Enfield Echo 69 When your class ring committee meets, have them think of something original, say a ball and chain or an iron pipe. Be out- standing, but by that I don’t mean for your lads to rush the Fresh- men girls. They are for the Seniors to look over and the Freshmen boys to worship from afar. One of your largest tasks will be to watch over “Muscles” Snyder. Install a time clock at the side door so he can register when he enters and leaves. Thus no argument as to the hours he has put in. Also be kind to Louise Slamon for I judge she will miss those rendezvous with some members of our class. FRESHMEN: This will probably be a waste of time because I imagine that most of the infants are home in bed at this late hour. I hope some of you will translate this into their language and tell it to them. The first afternoon I came back I thought they had turned the school over to a day nursery. Knickers and bow ties were in evidence. Hair ribbons and ankle socks were predominantly worn by the girls. The first project I would take over next year, if I were you, would be to open a milk bar. Thus you could give some of your “shorties” a push upward. I’m warning you that next year they will be stepped upon. I would also advise you to give some of your minor attention to next year’s dancing class. At proms you seem to be in a Walk- athon. Also at these functions don’t look at the upperclassmen’s girls, it is most embarrassing. UNDERGRADUATES: Now may I assume a more serious attitude. For four years we have labored together in dear old En- field High. The Class of ’39 appreciates all your cooperation in the various school activities we have sponsored. We wish for you a great success in all you undertake in your remaining years. So to you the classes of ’40, ’41 and ’42 the Class of ’39 hands the torch. Keep it burning brightly! 70 The Enfield Echo RESPONSE FOR UNDERGRADUATES (By Charles Misuraca, President of Junior Class) Ladies and Gentlemen—and my dear self-infatuated and over- inflated Class of ’39: It is perfectly clear to us that after tomorrow night we will probably not see any of you seniors back in school. But, I ask, what have we to lose? Nothing! There is no guiding hand to miss. Oh yes, you say you tremble for us. Well, you have a good reason to tremble. For how do you know whether or not your diplomas will be blank? As for wasting energy on us, you foolish things should store it away, because your foolhardy advice is unnecessary. My dear off-key seniors, speaking of the school orchestra, all of the underclassmen are very happy and grateful for your depar- ture at this time. Without your hoots and squeaks, our school has great possibilities for a good orchestra. Now it certainly is too bad that some of you so-called illustri- ous—but we know better—seniors had to be lured to the school kitchen by those tantalizing odors and be in for an awful let-down. Each time, you should have made a primary investigation to make sure they were underclassmen doing the cooking, who by the way won most of the Home Economics Awards, and not your own senior girls trying some culinary experiments. Oh, pardon me seniors, culinary pertains to cooking. Seniors, don’t steer the poor innocent sophomores down the crooked path you blazed. Our very dear and esteemed Senior repre- sentative seems to be away behind the times. Aha—you should know by this time that the Class of ’40 has set a new standard, a higher standard for the Junior classes to follow. If you, my dear Seniors had made as great a success of your Junior Prom as we did you would have inflated to such an extent that you would have blown away into the cosmos and wouldn’t be here tonight to ridicule us unwarrantly. Your Senior crier has called the sophomores babyish—True enough, but we have heard some of you fellows say “those babes aren’t so bad.” Seniors wake up, why be in a daze? Those freshmen shorties you saw were optical illusions, for they really are big and good athletic fellows already used in one of our varsity teams. So we really don’t need your temperamental hopscotch players anymore. Seniors let me assume a more serious tone at this time to voice the true feelings of the undergraduates. We are very grateful and thankful for your splendid cooperation and leadership as seniors. We wish you all the luck in the world and it is with deep sorrow that we must bid you farewell.
