September 5, 1937 The Class of ’40 entered the ranks of the intelligensia this morning when they became Sophomores. After the fine showing of this class last year, it seems very probable that it will be one of the finest the school has yet seen. October 7, 1937 One of the most highly esteemed members of the Class of 1940, William Thompson, died today. He was dearly loved by all who knew him because of his many excellent qualities. Needless to say he will be sadly missed. October 20, 1937 The Class of 1940 held its annual election this morning. The President, Charles Misuraca, was reelected because of his com- mendable leadership of the past year. Other officers elected are Vice-President, Irene Gautreau; Secretary, Jean Smyth; Treas- urer, Francis Devine. December 4, 1937 The Class of ’40 took part in the first dramatic production of the year, the Hi-Y Minstrel. This proved to the school that this class is willing to cooperate in all school extracurricular activities. September 3, 1938 Enfield High welcomed new Juniors this morning, the noted Class of ’40. The school expects the class to be as prominent this year as it has been in the previous two years. October 10, 1938 This morning the following officers took over the guidance of the Class of ’40.

CLASS HISTORY (By Dorothy Coleman) ENFIELD CLARION NEWS REVIEW September 6, 1936 The Class of 1940 entered Enfield High School today.

The Enfield Echo 27 looked very dignified as they left the auditorium first. The under- classmen showed the Seniors their due respect, but how long will it last? October 24, 1939 The following officers were elected this morning by the Class of 1940. President Misuraca retained the office which he has held for the past three years. He has done a fine job in the past and all expect him to keep up his excellent work. Margaret Cyganus was reelected because of her past record as Class Vice-President. The Secretary is Alice Richardson. The very popular Francis Devine also retained his post as Class Treasurer. November 24, 1939 The first big event of the year, the Hi-Y Minstrel, took place today. Charles Misuraca, President of the Hi-Y Club, was inter- locutor. Ralph August and Ed. Augustyniak again represented the class as end men. The solo of John Trappe was truly a highlight of the show. December 1.5, 1939 Thomas Hayden and Anne Starr were chosen by the Senior Class to preside over the annual Senior Promenade. The prom is expected to be as big a success financially as it is socially. January 26, 1940 The annual school play was given today at Enfield High. Evelyn O’Brien and Fran Devine blossomed out as stars. The sup- porting cast was made up of Mahlon Brown, Delmont Meagher, Sadie Scavotto, and Jeane Loftus. The play chosen was “Sweet Sixteen”. This production was very capably managed by John Trappe. April 15, 1940 Tonight Enfield High School took part in the Valley Wheel Play Festival. The play which Enfield has chosen for production is “The Minuet”. The members of the cast were Evelyn O’Brien, Anne Marie O’Donnell, Francis Devine, John Trappe, Delmont Meagher and Francis D’Aleo. Throughout the entire year, the Seniors, in Room 26, have enjoyed the following visitors, who gave interesting and inspiring talks: Former Representative, Julia Doyle, Father King, Reverend Charles Nichols, Reverend William Turnbull and Mr. Charles Monahan. June 20, 1940 This evening Enfield High School is bidding farewell to its annual graduating class. It is with deep regret that this group writes “finis” to this chapter in their great “Book of Life.”
