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.

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.”
