30 The Enfield Echo Traveling swiftly across small towns I had time to go to Hala- gasaki to hear Carme Maniscalco, the famous Prima Donna, hit high C. The applause was so tremendous that plaster fell off the walls. Upon being questioned about his occupation John Mientus said he was a pilot for the Fly-So-Fast Company. He recently has taken on Sadie Scavatto and Eleanor Krzys as his air hostesses. Their costumes are unusual. No wonder Thomas Stinson, world-wide famous photographer, is a frequent passenger. Here comes tall, dark and handsome Tod Thayer, the famous screen lover who makes many a heart beat faster. He is none other than Teddy Dojka. Do you remember him? Francis Devine’s occupation is now at the top of the list. He has a business of his own. He uses mechanical secretaries so that when he presses a button they do the work assigned. They also have speaking voices. This is the famous Invention of Richard Philbin, the chief Radio Operator at Radio City. During a recent brainstorm, George Jucius made a new hair tonic to make his hair curl. He calls it the “Curling Dervish.” Helen Walizki, one of our recent Debs, eloped to Las Vegas with a Multi-Millionaire who got rich by growing trees that bear peaches with cream inside. Mahlon Brown, at present owns and runs a charm school for Old Maids. These charming women acquire musical voices by listening and laughing to his witty jokes. There’s never a dull moment in this Census Work. Lucy Sienko now has a factory manufacturing false eyelashes and wigs. His Honor, Judge Thomas Hayden, presides over the Supreme Court. Since he has been in office he has changed some of the rules of the court. At 3 o’clock everything is stopped so that he can have his afternoon nap. As I go to the other part of town I talk to Sophie Grojeski. She is now a fashion director. Her assistant is Margaret Porto, who is her only model up to date. Nellie Swiattcwski, the Stocking Heiress, vacations at Palm Beach where cupid finally caught up with her. Grace Barton is the personal secretary to Anthony Saracco, the Mayor of Iskabal. The Fred Astaire of our times is none other than Edward Augustyniak who gives private lessons. At present he is teaching Phyliss Johnston. Nicholas Angelica is the owner of the Popular “Hotcha” Night Club, where his frequent patron is Ralph August, requesting the orchestra to play “Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair.” At present Ruth Vivier, has won many an honor and recently won the World’s Champion best all around Drum Major in 47 States, the other one state not in the judging. David Collins is raising prize pigs that weigh 300 pounds. His

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.

The Enfield Echo 31 favorite is Elmira, who won the Blue Ribbon in 1940. She still waddles around. Part IV As I proceed to question the remainder of the citizens I cross the tracks into the lower part of town. My first victim is John Trappe who is still known as Pudgy Wudgy to the girls. He is the Imperial Manager of his string of one hamburger stand. He is waiting on the beautiful shoe manu- facturess, Edwina Halgas, who made all her money selling shoes for pickled pigs feet. Gloria Drohan and Roland Carmel are co-authors of the current smash novel, “How To Build Up An Argument with Nothing To Argue About.” The next stop is the crowded Franklin Music Hall where the 20-minute Bigelow Hour is now in progress. We have the Queen of ballet dancers, Georgetta Coleman and the King of Romance, Raymond Aleskewiz, doing the Balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet. The next super event is a song by that excellent trio Josephine Emanuel, Marion Brooks, and Mary Cygan. They are singing that old hit tune, “The Woodpeckers’ Song.” Those three prominent scientists Delmont Meagher, Stella Tokarczyk, and Dorothy Vesce have answered to the question of occupation that they have given their services to the public de- mands. They are inventing a foolproof red hair dye so everybody can be lucky. Alice Wright and Angelina Giaccone are operating their own Dress Shoppe in which they sell red flannel underwear to the poor people of the Sahara desert. Moselle Rivers is engaged in teaching Chinese to German spies. Roger Ingraham, the sailor of our 1940 Class, is the Grand Admiral of the Connecticut River Defenses. Dorothy Rostek is running her own aquacade in Fresh- Water Pond. Her stars are Emily Kalwa, Helen Jakobek, and Lucille Haber. Joe Buttacavoli is the champion golfer of the United States and now runs his own Midget Golf Course. Mary Steward manages her own tobacco farm where they throw old newspapers into the fields and the tobacco rolls itself into cigarettes. Beryl Kennedy is now in charge of Professor Quiz’s radio show and uses him as a stooge. Eleanor Colson who still talks as much as ever is a horse race announcer on Station WTHV, Thompsonville. Helen Buczkowski and Mary Fiore are co-owners of the “Merry Maid’s Toddy Shop,” for over-worked students. Frank Korona is the stand-in for Pinnochio.
