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.

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.

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
