VOL. 28 THOMPSONVILLE, CONN., JUNE, 1941 NO. 1 ADDRESS OF WELCOME (By Blair White, President) Parents, Teachers and Friends: As President of the Class of 1941, it is my privilege to welcome you here tonight and to extend to you sincere thanks on behaif of our class for your help in making this, our Class Night program, a huge success. It has been nearly four years since this group was organized as an integral part of Enfield High School. Except for occasional moments of stress these have been very pleasant and very profit- able years. Four years ago we were uncertain, timid, self-conscious stu- dents, stumbling awkwardly over one another in the corridors. Our fund of knowledge was pathetically meager, and any talents that we might have had were as yet undiscovered. The past four years have wrought an almost miraculous change. We have become self-confident instead of self-conscious. Where once we stumbled we now walk with poise and grace. Our minds have been enriched with a vast store of Latin verbs and French pronouns, and mathematical formulae. Some have devel- oped brawn and skill on the athletic field, others have become masters of oratory and the drama. We are, of course, sincerely grateful to Enfield High School for all she has bestowed upon us. Perhaps “forced upon us” might seem a more literal wording to some, but nevertheless I am sure there is not one of us that does not deeply appreciate the changes wrought in us during our four years together. It is now time for us to turn our eyes to the future with the sincere hope that the members of the Class of 1941 will continue their steady growth in wisdom and understanding and that the years to come will hold a full quota of success and happiness for all. 22 The Enfield Echo CLASS HISTORY (By Norma Allen) Tonight, you the audience, will be the first to hear read the preview of the book “Four Important Years” which is the story of the high school life of 1941. The setting is Enfield High School and the characters are the Class of ’41. Chapter I Time—1937-1938 On a bright September afternoon, the Class of 1941 enters Enfield High School as proud, but somewhat bewildered freshmen. As the year progresses, they are not the meek youngsters of Sep- tember, but are the outstanding freshman class in the history of the school. They are especially noted for their fine support of the various school activities. The outstanding event of the year is the election of class officers, who are: President, Blair White; Vice- President, Phyllis Crombie; Secretary, Jane Novak; and Raymond Malley, Treasurer. The president, Mr. White, brings further honor to himself and the class as being the only freshman to appear in the cast of “Charm School”, the play of the year. The greatest thrill of the year is the Freshman Radio Play entitled “The Tiger or the Lady”, under the capable direction of Miss Collins. Members of the cast are: Worth Bostick, Phyllis Crombie, Geno Santjindrea, George Merrill, Blair White, Alphonse Misuraca, Philip Scavotto, and Eleanor Bak. Chapter II Time—1938-1939 The Class of ’41 brought honor to the upperclassmen by becom- ing Sophomores. They have shown their ability to lead and will surely be looked upon with envy by their fellow schoolmates. The new officers promise capable guidance for the ensuing year. Blair White has again been elected President, Vice-Presi- dent, Eleanor Bak; Jane Novak, Secretary and Ray Malley, Treas- urer. The most popular activity of the year is the Hi-Y Minstrel, directed by Mr. Langford. The Class of ’41, besides the many members of the chorus, is represented by Eleanor Bak, soloist, and Phyllis Crombie, Geno Santandrea, and Norma Allen, ends. Chapter III Time—1939-1940 In September, 1939, the highly respected Class of ’41 enters the ranks of the intellegensia and becomes serious-minded Juniors. A year of hard work is enjoyed by all. The Enfield Echo 23 Again the main event is Class elections. Blair White is the selection for Class President; Marguerite Egan, Vice-President; Jane Novak, Secretary; and Philip Scavotto, Treasurer. The Hi-Y Minstrel, “American Review” is, as usual, a great success. The Class of ’41 is represented by Phyllis Crombie, Irma McKittrick, Geno Santandrea, and Norma Allen as endmen; and Eleanor Bak and Philip Scavotto, soloists. The Junior Prom is a gala affair, having as its theme, “A Little Dutch Garden.” It is a great success, both financially and socially. Host Blair White and Hostess Jane Novak do fine work in the receiving line. On April 15, a one-act play, “The Minuet,” is presented, with Phyllis Crombie representing the class as a member of the cast. The presentation is again directed by Miss Collins. The School play “Sweet Sixteen” is delightfully presented and received with much enthusiasm by all who attend, important mem- bers of the cast are Constance Angelica, Barbara Magill, and Worth Bostick. Miss Helen Javorski of the faculty directed. Chapter IV Time—1940-1941 The years have certainly flown by, and the Class of ’41 find themselves enrolled as dignified Seniors. It certainly makes us feel privileged to occupy the middle section at assemblies and we are even allowed to leave the auditorium first! To lead us in this important Senior year, the Class of ’41 has again chosen Blair White to serve his fourth term as president; Marguerite Egan, Vice-President; Eleanor Bak, Secretary, and Carmello Brutto, Treasurer. The year starts off with a bang! The first public presentation is the Hi-Y Minstrel, under Mr. Langford’s fine direction. High- lights of the show are Blair White, President of the Hi-Y Club, as interlocutor, Eleanor Bak and Philip Scavotto, soloists, and Phyllis Crombie, Irma McKittrick and Norma Allen as endmen. The Annual Senior Prom is very well attended and successful. Eleanor Bak and Geno Santandrea did wonderful work as hostess and host. After Christmas vacation, the cast for the school play “The Hidden Enemy” is chosen by the director, Miss Javorski. Members of the cast are Rose Gallo, Worth Bostick, Dorothy Kearns, Pauline Lamont, Cyril Gordon, Jane Novak and Norma Allen. Success again! The Seniors sponsor a Senior-Freshman night with the fresh- man class as their guests. The purpose is to make the poor little freshmen feel as if they were really part of the school and not dust under our feet. Refreshments were served and both the Senior and Freshman classes presented skits. This is the first social of this kind ever attempted and because of its success we sincerely 24 The Enfield Echo hope that the tradition will be carried on. The affair was under the direction of Miss Crombie. On May 5, a group of 60 Seniors and adults left Thompsonville for the 7th Annual Pilgrimage to Washington. Carlo Angelica and Miss Jenny Brakel served as very fine chaperons. Mr. and Mrs. Lee, and son Rodney, again accompanied the students. I can speak for my classmates in saying a very wonderful time was had by all. Frederick Haight brought honor to our class by winning first prize in an art contest sponsored by the Valley Wheel Association. Fred’s drawing will be the design for the future athletic plaques presented to championship teams in the Valley Wheel. Miss Crombie and the Static Staff should receive many thanks for their fine work on the school paper. Barbara Magill, Editor-in- chief, and her assistants, Phyllis Crombie, Betty Wishart, Jane Novak, Raymond Malley, and Margaret King, have a lot to be proud of. Among the outstanding athletes are the names of “Lefty” King, Malley, Oleckny, Siana, Lauria, and MacGovern. Most of these boys starred in sports all through their high school careers. To close this book of happiness, I quote from Sara Teasdale, who said: “Into my heart’s treasury, I slipped a coin That time cannot take Nor a thief purloin,— Better than the minting Of a gold-crowned king, Is the safe kept memory Of a lovely thing.” The Enfield Echo 25 CLASS PROPHECY (By Constance Angelica, Elaine Carmel, Robert Triggs) With the previous speakers we have been hearing facts, and though it was pleasant, it is much more fun to drift to dream-land. So let’s glide away to a land of promise, the land of the future, and discover what the class of ’41 has done to make this old world appreciate us. Let us drift into the greatly expanded, up-to-date city of Enfield in the year 1951. This is the same Enfield that we know now, as far as customs of generosity and happiness go, but the physical aspect has been greatly changed. This has not been achieved entirely through the constant efforts of the graduates of 1941, though we would like to have you believe that. As we saunter down Main Street, the first building that catches our eye is the Thompsonville Savings Company. The name of Thompsonville’s first woman president, Miss Dorothy Gourlie, is modernistically printed on the window. Inside we discover her able assistants, Adella Berozky and Genevieve Pietrusza. George Merrill, teller, finds his job an easy and interesting task, working with Miss Noreen Miltner. He doesn’t mind Miss “Cash” either. Fanny Korona and Rita Crabtree, teachers at Enfield High are depositing their hard-earned money, while Evelyn Duggan at her keyed machine tries not to be so noisy. At the “Floweret” operated by Miss Elizabeth Wishart, we find Betty fixing her window display of pink roses, her week-end specialty. Helen Manning, our lady lawyer, who defended Mike McGuirk last week, comes in and orders a dozen of pink roses. They are to be sent to Mike at the Prison Farm, now run by Mary Parvelac. Up the street a way we see the exclusive shoppe of the well-known dress designer, Miss Barbara Magill. Working for her are Stella Klebosky and Lydia Polec. Miss Marion Charette, best dressed woman about town, is Miss Magill’s best customer. What would Marion do without Barbara? Rushing toward us in quite a dilemma, we find Betty Snow, her dress literally covered with mud; excitedly she asks to be directed to “A. W. Bostick Cleaning and Dyeing Enterprise.” Entering a tiny little dainty shoppe, the “Lamont Shoppe,” which specializes in clothing for short women, we find Lena Rossi, champion roller skater of New England. She is conferring with Miss Lamont about purchasing a purple and green striped outfit. Behind the hosiery counter we find Frank Slapski, helping Anna Dubois select a pair of size 12 stockings for Florence Lynch, private secretary to Roscoe Goodwin, inventor of a wheel-less bicycle. Miss Dorothy Hayden is also there purchasing a “Whirl Wind” hat for employer Eileen Slade, now taking care of the teeth of Enfield’s citizens. The Enfield Echo 27 Along side Miss Lamont’s Shoppe is the S. S. S. Shoppe, the “Smart Set Sews Shoppe,” established by Miss Anne Eagleson. In goes Jackie Thompson to take her forty-ninth lesson. Is darn- ing a stocking still a day’s work, Jackie? Elena DeCaro has the smartest Beauty Parlor on Main Street. Her broomstick coiffure, which takes three days to dry, is quite the rage. Catherine Santanella who is working for Elena tells us about Chester Luczai’s prize cow, which tips the scales at 202. Catherine tells us that if we want to see it we ought to go to the County Fair. So off we start in our rickey old 1941 Buick (amaz- ing how long these cars last, isn’t it?) Our journey takes us out through Elm Street which has been re-named Wonder Avenue. To our surprise and bewilderment we find those once vacant, deserted, golden fields of Elm Street have now been turned into a gigantic airport. Its owner and operator is Miss Constance Angelica, well-known business woman. Those beautiful hangars that stretch across the land were designed by Stella Petroski and Co. A plane has just landed and a group of nurses tumble out of the beautiful ship. This is the first year that the Thompsonville nurses are having a convention. Among the familiar faces, we see Kathleen McConn, Eileen Hanrahan, and Eleanor Bak. Josephine Yuskis, our famous majorette, descends with her private secretary, Miss Jean LaGrange. Up at the pilot’s control we see Harold Reed, ace pilot. Speaking of pilots, did you know that Rose Reveruzzi is test pilot in an elevator at the Stella Swist Department Stores? We must hurry to get to the fair before dark, so we leave these people going merrily along. Quite a few are taking the subway to Springfield to see the newest show, “Enfield on the March.” Among them is Josephine Romano, scientist for Enfield, who is experimenting with tobacco worms. After a few minutes of riding, the fair grounds come into view. The grounds are divided into two parts, the domestic and the animal shows. In the domestic part we see Anna Wietecha, displaying her home-made jellies and jams. Louise Breen is dis- playing her latest frock creation, a shoulderless raincoat. Mary Shlatz and Nina Buscemi are competing for the blue ribbon given for the best apple pie. On the grandstand at the farther end of the field we find Geraldine Martin and Helen Pierog as gracious judges for the day. In the animal section we see the fore-mentioned prize cow, owned by Chester Luczai. William Comstock has been awarded a medal for the fastest-racing pigeon. David Beckman now holds a blue ribbon for creating a skinless, eyeless, potatoless, potato. Who do we see at the hot dog stand ? The one and only Andy Siana. He pompously informs us that he is now working on a newspaper staff. The paper is owned, operated and edited by Irma McKittrick. The assistant editor is former police commissioner, 28 The Enfield Echo Joseph Vesce. His secretaries are Sophie Agrapides, Lois Pierce, and Irene Feeney. The staff of reporters consist of Anna Kamaros, Mary Melfa, and the photographer is Mary Polek who always “clicks” at the right moment. We inquisitively ask who the copy boy is. Meekly Andy answers, “I am.” Next to the fair gi’ounds is the Thompsonville Country Club. Jenny Bonk is playing a stiff game of tennis with Elizabeth Ryan, tennis champion of Four Counties. Oh, my, Betty just missed. Be careful, Betty! By the way, Bernard Bordua conducts his internationally known Golf School at the club. His special pupils are Stella Klezinewski, Dorothy Frigon, and Harold Hardiman. That hand- some Johnny Weismueller that we see diving into the pool, we find, is Frank Russotto, swimming instructor. Dusk is upon us and so we must leave the Country Club and the fair grounds. On our way home we see Edward Mokrycki literally flying by in a new “Silent Breeze” automobile. Further down the road we see a crowd of people huddled together. Two cars are involved in an accident. Oh, my, in one of the cars is that famed explorer, Miss Irene McNulty and companion, Margaret Renals. Miss McNulty is still searching for a Paradise on Earth. Our friend, Mr. Mokrycki, was in the other car. State Policeman George MacCracken gets everything under control and orders that the motorists be taken to the Enfield Hospital for examination. We take part in all this excitement and proceed to the hospital. As we enter the hospital we see that the corridor is crowded with pretty nurses all busily, yet silently rushing about. Josephine DeMaso and Agnes Nigro assist Elaine Carmel with fresh white linen for the day. Later we learn that the patient who has caused such a great discussion among the nurses is Sam Lauria, football hero. Jane Novak, hospital dietitian, enters his room with spinach and carrots specially prepared for him. While there, we see Miss Virginia Blaney, Debutante No. 1 strolling in. She seems very much disturbed over Sam’s condition. On the top floor of the building we see Barbara McCullough, important insurance woman, waiting to see Dr. Philip Scavotto. Miss McCullough is a steady patient of Dr. Scavotto. On our way out we stop to ask the desk clerk, pretty Helen Jamrogowicz the condition of our friends. “Simply wonderful,” she replies. “Only a bruise here and there.” The cold, brisk air greets us as we leave the hospital, but it is quickly followed by the scent of smoke. There’s a fire in the block across the street. We see a mass of people quickly gather- ing. Out of the tiny windows of Edith Cote’s Tea Shoppe, dark, black smoke pours. Anna Arabek, Edith’s helper, quickly gathers what she can (cash register especially) and runs for dear life. But these two young ladies are not the only ones disturbed by the fire. In the “Wonderland Theatre,” manager, Norman Gagne, trvs to get his crowded theatre quiet, while usherettes Marian Leete, The Enfield Echo 29 Helen Swols, and Margaret Egan try desperately to soothe the raging audience. Donald MacGovern, comedian, and professional Scitico College Cheer Leader, Dorothy Kearns, go on with their act. In the next building watching terrified are librarians Helen Butler and Sophie Typrowicz, who fear that their art exhibit may be destroyed. Among their prize possessions are paintings sub- mitted by Margaret King and Fred Haight. Mayor Angelo Torre is to judge the paintings next Monday. The librarians’ fears are lessened as they hear the clanking of the fire engine approaching and the splashing of water on the flames. Raymond Malley, fire chief, climbs down from the engine, (say, reach it, you almost missed a step). Ray shouts to Edward Colon and John Wilby to hurry. As the efficient firemen get the blaze under control, we continue on our way. The next place of interest on our trip is the “Tobacco Grove,” night spot owned by Robert Triggs. We enter and find that we are just in time for the floor show. As we check our wraps, we hear the mellow voice of announcer, William Gallant, introducing Phyllis Crombie, vocalist with Cyril Gordon’s clubsters. Mr. Gordon’s band has just completed a nation-wide tour, featuring Geno Santandrea, sensational pianist, who plays on all black keys. Other members of the band are Curt Most, hot-trumpet, Bertha and Wanda Ludwin taking care of the string section. Waitress Eleanor Karcz takes our order as Miss Crombie finishes her song. Comedian Fofo Misuraca keeps the house in stitches for a time, while cigarette girls Dorothy Devaney, Mar- garet Bernier and Gladys Leonowicz glide from table to table making sales. As we glance around the club we see Alice Lakstutis, Nobel Prize Winner for her latest novel, “For Whom the Horn Blows” or “Four O’Clock in Thompsonville.” With her is Norma Allen, masseuse in her own women’s gymnasium, and Warren Bomely, Senator from Connecticut. At the next table Geneva Starr, woman architect, is consult- ing Blair White, manager of Thompsonville’s Coast to Coast Super- Market, about the new store that she is building for him. Also at that table is Edna Arrowsmith, interior decorator, with Lefty King, Star pitcher of T’ville Yankees. Carmelo Brutto, manufacturer of left-handed baseballs for Lefty, is also there. Mr. Brutto’s efficient secretaries are Ida Orfice and Frances Legienza. At a table in a little corner we find Rose Gallo, journalist, with Joseph Zirolli, district attornev. They are discussing Miss Gallo’s new success, “Now I’ve Seen Everything—Bang.” As we leave the club with the year 1941 as our destination, we hear the tinkle of milk bottles and see Bolek Olechney deliver- ing his Grade A milk to Enfield’s housewives. Now that we have given you as complete a record of our class as possible we shall return to 1941 and—reality. 30 The Enfield Echo CLASS PRESENTATIONS (By Virginia Blaney, Stella Swist and William Gallant) Marian Leete......................Gum Merry, pretty and always gay, What mox-e is there to say?

It is my duty as counsel for the said deceased body to divide among you all the remaining properties of the Class according to the dictates of this will. . We, the Class of 1941, do at this time, being of solemn mind and bcdy, hereby declare and publish this to be our last will and testament, declaring null and void any wills or statements made by us at any previous time. ITEM: It is our desire that our Last Services be under the direction of our principal and that at such exercises we be given all the honor and glory which is duly ours, and that for one minute preceding such services the building be absolutely silent in our memory. ITEM: To Mr. Lee and his faculty, our friends, and advisors, we give and bequeath our sincere thanks for the knowledge and guidance that they gave us during our life at Enfield High. ITEM: To the Juniors, we give the key to Room 26 and the guidance and love which was given us by Mrs. Eddy. With this we give you the honor of becoming Seniors, which honor is subject to your living up to the high standards set up by the Class of 1941. ITEM: We give and bequest to the Sophomore Class all our unserved detention slips so that they might have the honor of sit- ting in Room 26 before they turn gray haired. ITEM: We leave to the children of the Freshman Class a megaphone so that they might hear the seven o’clock horn of the Thompsonville Fire Department in time to wake up before the eight o’clock bell. ITEM: .To Frosty Ferguson, our esteemed janitor, we leave a set of 6 chromium plated hammers to repay him for those which we borrowed. ITEM: The following personal bequests we leave in good will and trust that they be taken by the heirs in the spirit in which they are given. First: Alphonse Misuraca, Senior Super-Salesman, leaves his selling ability to Craig Collins. Second: To Flo Moschetti, Ann Arabek leaves her ability for finding a male skating partner at Riverside. Third: Geno Santandrea leaves his difficulty in getting to Hazardville to see Geneva Starr to any underclassman who hasn’t the presence of mind to go out with home-town girls. Fourth: Norma “Small Fry” Allen leaves her ability as an endman to Eleanor Parvelac, that “mammy” of the Junior Class. The Enfield Echo 63 Fifth: Blair White, that man among women and also our class president, leaves his curly hair and way with the women to William Mayo. Sixth: To Ellen Johnson, Barbara Magill leaves her high scholastic record. Seventh: Lucyan Augustyniak is to receive the artistic ability of Margaret King and Frederick Haight. Eighth: An automatic chair putter-upper is given by the class to Bill McLaren to aid him in putting up the chairs after the under- classmen finish their daily game “hide and seek.” Ninth: Those members of the Class who went on the Washing- ton Trip leave the ability of William Gallant to lead the party around Grand Central Terminal to any insignificant underclassman, who has never been outside the borders of Enfield. Tenth: We leave the great athletic ability of Kenneth “Lefty” King to Theodore Conley, that husky Sophomore lad. Eleventh: Phyllis Crombie leaves her popularity and good dancing to Theresa Dubois. Twelfth: Commissioner Joseph Vesce leaves to Walter Blake all his cigarette butts and an empty match book. Thirteenth: The Class leaves Pauline Lamont’s cuteness to Ann Blake. Fourteenth: The everlasting questions and arguments of Warren Bomely are left to Martin O’Brien, that sage of the Junior Class. Fifteenth: Therese Starr of the Freshman Class is to be the sole heir of the talent of playing good music now owned bv Barbara Magill. Sixteenth: The forensic ability of Bernard Bordua to pro- pound dogmatic principles we bequeath to Rhodina Sisitzky. Seventeenth: Andy Siana, our N. Y. A. worker, leaves to his able assistant Ernest Mankus his cloth and pail to wash the black- boards. Eighteenth: Jane Novak leaves her good looks and neat appearance to Kay Ferguson, the Junior songstress. Nineteenth: Raymond Malley gives his dancing ability to the Sophomore jitterbug, Henry Buika. Twentieth: Robert Triggs leaves his bad driving and narrow escapes to Carol Beeman, the King Street cow-girl. Twenty-first: To Betty McLaren, the Junior oomph girl, Constance Angelica leaves her red face and dimples. Twenty-second: To Mary Michko, Bobby Blaney leaves her ability to chew gum and flash those two big dimples. Twenty-third: All remaining property, which has not been disposed of by this our last will and testament, we give and be- queath to our principal, Mr. Lee, for his disposal. We hereby appoint said principal, Mr. Lee, of the Town of 64 The Enfield Echo ADVICE TO UNDERGRADUATES (By Donald MacGovern) Ladies, Gentlemen and undistinguished, members of the under classes: The responsibility of advising you little “imps” has been placed on my shoulders by the very worthy Class of 1941, and al- though no one can do much to help you in your knighted state, I will make an attempt. It can not be sufficiently impressed upon you that you should heed this valuable advice, because I think you were “behind the door, when the brains were being passed out.” LAZY JUNIORS: We note that in April very few of you were in that select group called honor students, in your (phrase- ology) common language “on the Honor Roll”, (or hadn’t some of you heard of that?) We suggest that you do not “give-up” home- work for most of the year, but “give-up” candy during Lent, instead. However, don’t let us discourage you. Though you have tried very hard to surpass our Proms both in profit and decorations, you of course realize that you can not hope to equal the standards set by your predecessors, the Seniors. How can you be worthy of occupying the very honorable seats in Room 26 unless you bestir yourselves mightily to make up for this poor record! SILLY SOPHOMORES: The old saying “Sophomores think they know, but do not know” applies very well to the Class of ’43. In the past you have highly amused the Seniors by your futile efforts to steal or try to steal, the beauteous girls of our class. Beside the Clark Gables and Robert Taylors of the Senior Class, what chance did you have? When we consider the “Flood of Knowledge” which emanates from the Seniors, and the fact that we are about to leave you in the lurch, you Sophomores may as well “roll down your pantaloons” and make the best of it! Enfield, County of Hartford, State of Connecticut, executor of this our last will and testament. In witness thereof, we, the Class of 1941, set our hand and seal this eighteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thou- sand nine hundred and forty-one. (Signed) CLASS OF 1941 A. Worth Bostick, Attorney Witnesses: John Ferguson William McLaren Leo Slamon The Enfield Echo 65 FLAMBOYANT FRESHMEN: Of course you can not be expected to know the meaning of this five dollar word, but you will illustrate the meaning of the adjective by your careless, crude, and giddy ways. You love to “put an act upon the stage,” but, little ones, why not “put on a good act?” Why be actors on the stage “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing” as Shakespeare says? Boldly you cut classes or skip school, only to find yourselves on the outside looking in. This “trial and error” method seems to be the only one some of you understand. You believe attending school is like being vaccinated, if you are innoculated with education it “may take” without any help from you. You must promptly reform and pattern studiously after the noble Class of 1941. There is achieve- ment for you to gaze upon. There is genius perfected by long hours of “burning the mid-night oil” and great natural ability, far above the average. We know you could scarcely attain such heights as ours but you “could try!” UNSOPHISTICATED UNDERCLASSMEN: You will see in the very near future that using Room 26 for a waste paper basket and garbage can is net so pleasant as it now seems. We charge nothing for this warning, for you’ll have to take the consequences! To get on the serious side of things, we appreciate greatly the pleasure and cooperation we have had from the classes of ’42, ’43, and ’44, in the various social and scholastic programs during the year. RESPONSE FOR THE UNDERGRADUATES (By James LaRussa) Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen—and you egotistical Seniors. It has been the usual custom of the Junior Class Presi- dent to make this response for the Undergraduates. I do so with the greatest of pleasure. Before I start this response I want you to know that the dumb look you see on the faces of th s Senior Class is because they are still trying to figure out and translate what their representative has just said. My friend said that we were “Behind the door, when the brains were passed out.” Maybe we were, but what were you Seniors doing behind us. I admit that many of us Juniors were not on the Honor Roll, but I would be safe in saying that you Seniors have nothing to brag about on this matter. While we are on the subject of brilliance, I want to ask you who won the Vox Pop Contest? You might think it would be a 66 The Enfield Echo senior because of the number of years of schooling, but who did? Joseph Basile, a member of the Honorable Junior Class. You say that the Sophomores tried to steal the beautiful girls of your class and didn’t succeed against the competition of your Clark Gables and Robert Taylors. Well, all I can say is that your Clark Gables and Robert Taylors are awful homely, and should be sued for misrepresentation. Freshmen, go ahead and roll down your pantalooms and make the best of it, because that’s what the Seniors had to do when they were freshmen. About the Freshmen acting, my friend said that it was ter- rible. He couldn’t find anything against them, so he picked on their acting which is very good. He talks about the Freshmen skipping school. Well I believe the average school week for a Senior is four days. While you accuse the Underclassmen of using the waste paper- basket in Room 26 as a garbage can, did you ever stop to think that we were only imitating our Elders? When I first saw you come in I thought I was in the wrong place; because I saw a shepherd herding in sheep, then again I heard so much noise I thought it was doors knocking, but I found out that it was the Seniors legs shaking. Well, I don’t want to say anything more about you Seniors because you’re dressed up in pretty clothes and expect nice things to be said about you. . . . But, I do want to thank you in behalf of the Underclassmen for the cooperation you have given us in the past and we will try to follow the good examples made by you and wish you the best of luck, in the world.
