28 The Enfield Echo CLASS PROPHECY (By Carmelina Maniscalco, Allyn Bridge, Wanda Walizki, Charles Hannum) Part I It is the year 1950, and the time for another census to be taken. We, the census takers, have compiled the following report of the doings of our classmates during the past ten years. Tommy Birdsall has turned the Prison Farm into a Rhythm Club. In the orchestra, which is known as the “Swinging Hicks from Scitico Sticks,” we have Elliott Colby, Charles Vella and Royce Wilcox. The orchestra is well provided with vegetables every week by the audience. The entertainment is provided by the “Broadway Tappers of 1950,” which consists of Dora Lamagna, Ursula Sheehan, Lorraine Landry, Eileen Kiernan and Jeanette Charest. Marjorie LaGrange, Sadie Wlodkoski, Mary Rumore and Mary Provenzano are hostesses. The advertising is done by Edward Mnich. Alice Richardson and Jane Barszcz run their own Millinery Shop in New York, but their styles are not original. They copy them from Wanda Walizki, whose styles are sent directly from Paris. Charles Misuraca runs his own Radio Store. Jean Bartley and Gabriella Cardone are frequent visitors. But surely they can’t be interested in radios. Eleanor Fowler is teaching French to a group of boys who are always busy dating her. Beatrice Blake and Frances Bartolotta are trying to invent a new alarm clock. The old one lost the technique of waking them up. From far away Africa comes news that Jean Brovero and Ernestine Oliver are doing missionary work. “Glamour Boy” Charles Wielgus was voted the best dressed man in “No-Man’s Land.” The impersonator, Michael Mangini is still trying to get an audition to appear on Major Bowes’ Program. Raleigh Brown runs the “Non-Shrinkage Tailor Shop” here in town. Lillian Peeler and Jeanette Osowiecki recommend him to all their friends. Constance Mundle is teaching in a High School in Washington. Sophie Kwiecienski has opened a Home Economics School. Her promising students are Jean Fitzgerald and Ann Marie O’Donnell. As I check further on my list I find that Raymond Clarkin has been spending his time giving aesthetic dancing lessons to a group of girls on Waikiki Beach. Gus Theofiles has become the shadow’s shadow’s assistant.

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.”

The Enfield Echo 29 Charles Hannum employs Mary Hedenburg and Anne Starr as nurses in his hospital for corns and bunions. Albert Arietti retired to a life of solitude and rest two weeks after graduating from high school. Helen Brozowska has been selected as ideal secretary in a re- cent national contest. I will now turn you over to our next census taker. Part II Recently at my government task of prying into the personal affairs of our residents of this fair metropolis, I came across many interesting facts concerning members of our class. First, news from the field of Sports! Not long ago, I had a long talk with George LaGrange, who by the way, has been ad- vanced to the position of Sports Editor for the Thompsonville Press. Tony Di Gregorio, left fielder for the Boston Red Sox, is receiving a much fatter pay check this year and Bud Watton has been pro- moted to bat boy for the same club. Because of lack of competition, our High School tennis flash, Raymond Burgess recently turned professional. From Washington the news is that Margaret Cyganus, Jean Smyth, and Mary McLaren are now ready to drop out of the pub- lic’s eye after Anally winning the National Debating Championship. After conferring with Thomas Gracewski, secretary of Agriculture, Jeane Loftus, our congresswoman from Connecticut, met with Lillian Zarcaro, Eileen Mills and Rose Zirolli, who represented the leading clothing manufacturers of the country at the National Stylists Convention. General Angelo Picone has lately been endeavoring to round up Edward Buck and his bodyguard, Roy Frangiamore, who gave up their paper routes to become international spies. Charles Fiore has been charged by the general for sailing to the army homing pigeons which seemed to feel more at home in Suflield. From the premiere of Evelyn O’Brien’s latest motion picture in the Radio City Music Hall we hear that head usher, Allan O’Neil, still holds theater conferences with Mary Kuhm, who at present is in New York Modeling for Shirley Temple dolls. We wonder if attending Emelia Sarno’s personality school, taught by Anna Angelica, Eleanor Cimino, and Sophie Typronsay had anything to do with Fran D’Aleo’s winning the Irish Sweep- stakes. Now his m.ost constant pursuers are automobile sales- man, Alphonse Testoni, and Ghislain Gosselin who has practically dragged D’Aleo into partnership in order to start Production on his filmless camera. Part HI Paul Sheridan, popular on his beat, has been courting Helen Kot, who is nursemaid for Catherine Kiszka.
