dbc Bnftelfc Ecbo Published at intervals during the school year by the members of the Enfield Public High School, Thompsonville, Conn. Entered as second-class matter February 21, 1917, at the Post Office at Thompsonville, Conn., under the Act of March 3, 1879. 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.
