THOMPSONVILLE, CONN. VUDOR SHADES FOR THE PORCH VUDORS keep the porch airy because so much air circulates through them and heat can’t accumulate up towards the ceiling. The hot air escapes through the exclusive Ventilator at the top of each VUDOR. You will like the new VUDOR Automatic Roll Holder, which adapts the easy lift and automatic stop. You simply hook VUDORS up in the spring and unhook them in the fall. Measure your porch today. We will be glad to serve you. J.

VOL. 29 THOMPSONVILLE, CONN., JUNE, 1942 NO. 1 ADDRESS OF WELCOME (By James LaRussa) Parents, Teachers and Friends: As President of the Class of nineteen forty-two, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you this evening to our class night exercises. The class night committee has been working hard so that you will enjoy with us a review of our past and present activities in the Enfield High School; a review which will show our serious side and also some humorous jests to be taken in fun. We have enjoyed these years here at Enfield and they will always be a part of us. During the past four years, we have been striving towards the door of opportunity. We have reached our goal and now we will use the education and judgment that has been given to us, through the successful efforts and careful guidance of the principal and teachers of Enfield. I want to thank them now, for the coopera- tion they have given us in the past; and also for the inspiration they have been to us during these doubtful times. At this time, the class wishes to thank our dear parents for the kind services which they have rendered to us during these years. We owe all of this to them, for it was they who inspired us on to success. Once again, in behalf of the class of nineteen forty-two, I wel- come you to our class night exercises. CLASS HISTORY (By William Conley) Diary op a Student — September 1938-June 1942 While going through my possessions a few years ago, I came upon a dusty, thumb marked book. Upon inspection, I found it to be a diary. The diary of an Enfield High School Student who was graduated in the Class of 1942. I opened the book and the 18 The Enfield Echo memories seemed to float out with the little clouds of dust. It seemed as though I could hear them ringing aloud. September, 1938 This sunny afternoon one of the largest Freshman classes to enter Enfield High School crossed its threshold. I was one of the very proud but very inconspicuous members. It seemed as though every thing flew by in one swift panorama. The class officers for the coming year were elected. William Binnenkade, president; Norma Smyth, vice-president; Katherine Dedonis, secretary; John Whitely, treasurer. The Freshman basketball team seemed to be headed for future laurels, by capturing the junior championship of the Y. M. C. A. League. June 21, 1939 The first year has ended. We are now ready for diligent study after a thorough initiating by the upper classmen. September, 1939 The first big thrill in our lives as upper classmen was the sight of the senior men and women. But, the old saying, “Children should be seen and not heard,” was used again, so we meekly squirmed through the halls to our classes. But, there was no stopping us. We had the “do and die,” spirit and began the activities. The election of class officers was held and the chosen few were, President, Mario Palmieri; Vice- President, Norma Smyth; Secretary, Katherine Dedonis; and Treasurer, Martin O’Brien. Again the athletes of the class showed their ability by helping Enfield to victory in all sports. Sam Locario and Frank Scalia were marked for future stardom by earning or becoming “three letter men.” This is a very rare occurrence among sophomores. The school play was a great success only through the efforts of the sophomores who displayed unusual dramatic ability. June, 1940 Once again we have emerged from deep stacks of books and papers into the bright sunlight. For we are about to become Juniors. The third step in the four-runged ladder of our ambition. September, 1940 Since we have assumed an important role in school life, we immediately set out to make the Hi-Y minstrel a success under the leadership of Mr. Langford. The leaders of the class this year are: President, James LaRussa; Vice-President, Norma Smyth; Secretary, Katherine Dedonis and Treasurer, Arthur Rossi. Miss Smyth and Miss The Enfield Echo 19 Dedonis set a precedent in school history by being elected for their third successive term. This year the General Organization was pushed over the top through the splendid support of the Juniors. Another social and financial success was the annual Junior Prom. June, 1941 We have now begun to prepare ourselves for the summer and especially the fall when we shall become Seniors. September, 1941 Mr. Parkman, our beloved Superintendent of Schools has re- tired after years of faithful service to school and community. Mr. Karl D. Lee was appointed to the office. Mr. John A. Langford has been appointed Principal with Mr. Tatoian, Vice Principal. We feel very proud to be the first class to graduate under their leadership. The Hi-Y Minstrel, with Mr. Tatoian directing, was its usual success with Seniors filling in the “end” spots very capably. The Senior Prom appropriately named the “Star Dust Ball” and the school play “Lease on Liberty” were two smash hits. Martin O’Brien, Kendall Dolge and Candido Di Franco added zest and forcefulness to the play with Edward Button supplying the comedy. The annual Senior-Freshman night was very helpful in easing the strained relations between Seniors and the lowly Freshmen. This year can be termed the outstanding year in sports. The football team under Captain Locario along with brilliant offensive and defensive playing of “Barney” Carson, Frank Scalia and Stan Kowalski had a record season. The basketball team, under the wise coaching of Coach Bob Walker, with Capt. “Murph” Goles, Salva and Locario shining, annexed co-championship of the Valley Wheel. The baseball team with these same men shining also brought fame to Enfield. The names of Locario, Goles, Carson, Salva and Scalia will ring forever in the time honored halls of Enfield.” After I had closed the records of those four happy years, I thought of the future, Enfield had given us, and how we, the “Class of ’42” had fared in the world, with the splendid education we had received at Enfield High School. 20 The Enfield Echo CLASS PROPHECY (By Shirley Harrison, Norma MacMillan, Salvatore Locario, Irving Taylor) Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is Shirley Milton Cross Harrison bringing you deep in the heart of Enfield. Tonight we feature the tenth year anniversary program of the E. H. S. Class of 1942. The sponsors of this program are all graduates of that illustrious class. This combines Irving Walter Windshield Taylor, Norma Dorothy Dix MacMillan and Salvatore Bill Stern Locario, along with its commercials. On with the program: 1. Be sure to see the latest film release, “Buck Button Rides No More” starring Lena Carr and Edward Button, at the Strand Theatre now owned by Joseph Zebrowski. The stage features in- clude : the well-known Leach, Starr and Fitzgerald vaudeville team of Broadway; the Rockerettes, famous chorus girls, namely, Irene Wagg, June Henley, Mary Michko, Shirley Burke, Claire Carmel and Irene Pohorylo; the magician, Frank Rydz who will guarantee to dispose of all cigars supplied by the audience; Helen Nosal in her own speciality act; “The Bubble Gum Demonstration”. In the band we have J. J. Connor, John Salamone and Charles Maniscalchi, former high star musicians. The charming usherettes are Evelyn Byron, Esther Conley and Josephine McNulty. So if you want to spend an enjoyable evening go to the new Strand Theatre—and, oh, yes; the costumes for the show were furnished by the Grimaldi and Liucci Dress Shoppe. Now, Irving Walter Windshield Taylor: Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. North and South America and all the ships at sea! Let’s go to press: Flash ! Although the War has been over several years, many of the fine community projects started in 1942 are still functioning. Carol Beeman, the first American woman driver of the Red Cross Ambulance Corps in China, has again dashed wildly across fields and plains with her Dodge truck. Janet Frew and Emma Granger are caring for the wounded. News from the Nation’s Capitol! Another stirring speech was made by Congressman, John Dineen, favoring the Russian War Relief. This is all very well, but I think our Congressmen should employ their talents in relieving the gas shortage. Flash ! Last night I reviewed the Ballet “Tschaikowsky’s Swan Lake,” starring that tall, dark, handsome, (and clumsy) ballet dancer, Stan Kowalski. His distracted attitude was due partly, to the fact that he paid more attention to his partner, Bertha Barszcz. Oh, yes, I have a letter here: It reads: “I am a young secretary to Mr. Craig Collins, who is writing, “Reflections on Wordsworth’s Intimations on Immortality.” After five years of hard study he is half way down the first page. He The Enfield Echo 21 pays no attention to me. Should I try to discourage him in his writing or help him. Please help me.” Signed, Mary Kiley. Flash ! Our chief air-raid warden, Leopold Lesniak, is doing wonderful work in this town. Barbara Schirm, Therese Ruggerio and Ruth Nuger are instructors of First Aid, and for the Canteen Unit we have Emily Klimek, Marjorie Rice, Mildred Cote, Dorothy Bridge, Ruth Buck, all doing wonderful at their work! In the Local Red Cross Center, Helena Daigneau is giving her all for the good of the country!! Flash ! Gilbert Vasseur and Alex Cybulski, two cab drivers are in California avoiding the gas shortage, but remember, boys, there is still a rubber shortage, so slow down! Flash ! In the paper today, there was an article about child welfare. The two girls who were mentioned, Marian Geigner and Eleanor Colby, have made great progress in children’s activities. This ought to be an inspiration to some of us. Flash ! Rhodina Sisitzky is the new editor of the Enfield Union. Good work, Rhodina! We knew you could do it. Flash ! Jane O’Connor, the new telephone operator, can tell you anything you want to know. Could it be possible that she listens in on phone calls??? Flash ! During a visit to the Stork Club recently, I saw the new bouncer, Dan Mangini. A fight was in progress, and who was “bounced” I’m not going to tell you. Flash ! Bill Smith, the lovelorn advisor, has been going out with the girls from the Flaming Chorus, which is now playing at Radio City. In the cast are Eileen O’Connor, Evelyn O’Neil, Helen Poloski, Doris Hilditch, and Clara Baltronis. He is now looking for advice for his problems. Flash! Recently elected to the Justice of the Peace were those two young fellows from Hazardville, Walter Curtis and John Bouchard. Since their election, all other justices have had no business. Could there be any price-cutting??? Flash ! Norma MacMillan, private secretary to the president of the State Board of Agriculture, Francis Mullen, told me that Mr. Mullen was voted best speaker at the Enfield Speaker’s Club yesterday! Flash! Norma Smyth has just been appointed to the Yale Board of Teachers as a chemistry teacher. There has been talk of her being secretly engaged. Don’t forget, one who has a pleasing personality, is one who has a sense of humor! Radio Announcer: Helen Criscitelli and Philomena Pierog have gone into partnership and have opened up their Beauty Salon on Asnuntuck Street, so girls, if you need a new hair-do for the summer months, here is the place to get it! Also for the feminine interest, we have word that a smart Fifth Avenue Shoppe, operated by Janet Plamondon and Rita 22 The Enfield Echo Feeney, have employed Dorothy Malboeuf, Jane Gwozdz, Florence Franciamore and Anna Mae Drake as models. Here is Norma Dorothy Dix MacMillan: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen: I have a few items here from many of my friends which I am going to pass on to you: Danny Garvey has just completed a three wheel scooter to get to his business on time. Ellen Johnson and Celia Danise, in its initial test run, report it to be a huge success. Our dear friend, Freddy Sullivan, who has been looking for- ward to a promotion on the W. P. A. for the last ten years, had better wake up. The four young ladies he has been making eyes at, Carmelina Cammileri, Josephine Fiore, Helen Prayzner, and Shirley Mailloux, are getting tired of waiting. You girls better work on his boss if you want any results. Oh, yes, one of my lovelorn friends, Marie Gatto, who wrote to 'jne a long while ago, when she was still in school asking my advice what to do about some “perfumed letters” being sent to her beau, Kendall Dolge, informs me that it is all settled and they are now happily married. Our old class mate, Kay Ferguson, seems to be doing very well for herself. Her beautiful voice is being heard over the radio, daily. Hats off to Irving Taylor for being on the air force honor roll! Maybe he took a few lessons from his racing pigeons. Our visiting nurse, Annette Farrick, is taking very good care of her patients in town. Hang on to your seats!!! I hear Lil O’Donnell finally received her diamond from Cuddles O’Connor. Congratulations! How about an invitation to the wedding, Lil? I attended the premier of that great love team, Dorothy Kiernan and Martin O’Brien in their latest show, “Love on the Enfield Plains.” Connie DiFranco and Mary Bruno were their co-stars. While there, I ran into a lot of our old friends. Helen Ludwin tells me that she is still with our old school, but as secretary, and that Frank Zawada is still there, as janitor. I saw Dr. Arthur Cote and his wife, Katherine Dedonis there. Irene Klimek was also tell- ing me that she married Bill Conley and that he is a great success on Wall Street. Will miracles ever cease! Bill Binnenkade never could get away from collecting some- thing since the fine Hi-Y record he set at add collecting. He is now Enfield’s tax collector. Shirley Harrison is reported happily married to a handsome man and they are now living down South. Best of luck, Shirk Poor Vincent Sperazza is very busy trying to keep the farmer- ettes, Claire Knight, Priscilla MacDonald, Adele Gucwa and Nancy Carter in overalls. They wear them out quicker than he can make them. The Enfield Echo 23 Sumner Burgess has just received his Doctor of Philosophy Degree. He employed the services of Stella Kukulka, Lilian Lauria and Eva Leether to compile the notes for his thesis. The two noted artists, Frank Maylott and Sylvester Mangini have just returned from a tour of South America. I hear they made out very well. Good work, boys. Now of interest to all our audience, Jimmy LaRussa has just opened his new “Self-Service Market” with Arthur Rossi as man- ager and Liborio Di Maria and Frank Maylott as Co-helpers. Another item is that “Scully’s Super Service Station” is having a sale of much needed tires and gas—so line forms on the right! Sam Locario is the instructor for the new addition—female grease- monkeys! Frances Kelley, Bette Brodrib, Gertrude Egan, Janice Patterson and Ruth Vasilcosta are the pupils! I think that’s all you can stand for today so, Thanks for listening. Radio Announcer: Introducing our Sam Bill Stern Locario : How do you do sport Fans; the latest thing off the wire is that Joe Basile, heavyweight, has just defeated Joe Louis in seventy rounds of bloody boxing. His manager, Carmen Scavatto, attrib- utes Joe’s success to a bowl of “Wheaties” every morning. One of his first telegrams of congratulations was from his brother Tommy, (who is now supervisor of all athletics throughout the Town of Enfield). Murphy Goles is now pitching for the 4th Platoon at Camp Edwards. It is reported he is in good form. Barney Carson, the fleet footed left fielder for the Detroit Tigers, has been shipped back to the bush leagues. Stanley Salva has just retired from base- ball because of rheumatism. Entertaining millions of people every season at the ball park is that famous comedian and protege of A1 Schact, Scitico Mielnikiewicz. His able assistant on the field is that well-known Irving Piorek. Flash ! Walter Blake has just defeated the old aged Sammy Snead for the golf championship, Bob Shelanskas was runner-up in this match. In the booth behind home plate at the Yankee Stadium we find that sports editor for the Daily Sports, Ernest Mankus. At the Saratoga Race Track you will find Gambino and Bower, co-owners of that famous race horse Blue Skies Eddie Pawelcik, the F. F. A. man, has just set a new record at the Dartmouth track for the slow mile; the time being 65 minutes. Now we take you to the Colleges around the country. At A. I. C. you will notice that national swimming Champion is none other than Eleanor Parvelac. The head cheer leader at Southern California is none other than our own Martha Vivier. At Forest Hills we find Betty McLaren, queen of the tennis courts. 24 The Enfield Echo CLASS PRESENTATIONS (By Helen Criscitelli, Irene Wagg, Edward Button, Arthur Rossi) Helen Criscitelli.......Make-up Kit Helen is a pretty maiden For those in need she is a haven; She is a capable “make-up” artist, And in every job, she always works hardest.

ITEM: To our school we leave a lump-in-the-throat feeling that refuses to go away. ITEM: To Mr. Langford, our principal, we leave our con- gratulations for his first year as principal, and sincere wishes for many more. ITEM: To the underclassmen we leave a school vastly im- proved by our presence. ITEM: To Miss Crombie and the Static, we leave a new batch of stencil-cutters and mimeographers, as yet untrained, and fatefully destined to make the first few issues conglomerations of error and smudge. ITEM: To the juniors, we leave Room 26, our home room, but a playground for underclassmen study periods and detention halls. ITEM: To assembly speakers, we leave a strangely quiet middle section of the auditorium. ITEM: To the school, we leave the innovation of student forums into the assembly curriculum. First: Carol Thompson, Enfield’s new-found actress, receives the combined intelligence and restrained eagerness of Marian Geigner and Ellen Johnson. Second: Irving Taylor bequeathes his female-studded Friday nights to John Sanger, who will add them to his collection. Third: Arthur Rossi leaves Marion Boland some unforget- table experiences and an interesting diary, and has decided to con- tinue his generosity. Fourth: Our girl with the pretty hair, Janet Frew, leaves her bewitching curls to Irene Mercier, the glamour girl of the sophomore class. Fifth: Claire Carmel leaves those sweaters that reach below the knees to Janet Bromage. Sixth: The senior girls leave their ability to mess up a first- aid bandage to all those juniors and sophomores who have had the misfortune of being born with feminine clumsiness. The Enfield Echo 61 Seventh: James LaRussa, twice class-president, leaves his beautiful waltz to William and John O’Brien, who will proceed to rip that three-four time into a hot boogy-woogy down-beat. Eighth: The poise and dignity of Katherine Dedonis are left to Anne Blake, the undiscovered orator of the junior class. Ninth: Frank Scalia leaves that hypnotic power over the teachers to that junior faculty charmer, Achille Secondo. Tenth: Shirley Harrison leaves that crop of golden locks to any underclassman girl who leaps first. Eleventh: Symposium. 1. Janice Patterson leaves Robert Starr 2. William Smith leaves Virginia Vail 3. Candido DiFranco leaves Shirley Wing Ah, well. Twelfth: Lucille Starr leaves that anything-for-a-laugh per- sonality to Sydney Bushnell. Thirteenth: The senior class leaves permission to any junior detective with ability and courage to find out about those perfumed letters of Kendall Dolge. Fourteenth: Therese Dubois receives the bouncing personal- ity and all-round popularity of Lillian O’Donnell. Fifteenth: William Conley leaves his handsome aloofness to anything female to that sophomore woman-hater, Charlie Robinson. Sixteenth: William Binnenkade bequeathes his “jitterbug- even-to-a-waltz” complex to “Geese” Baronian. Seventeenth: Nancy Carter leaves her list of “ex’s” to the only girl who could top it, Janice Ryan. Eighteenth: The senior boys leave all the senior girls’ cura- chees to the junk-man, with deepest sympathy for the junk-man. Nineteenth: All the thumb-tacks that have graced the seats of Room 26 are left for some practical soul to put to their rightful use. Twentieth: The Norma Smyth, Kathleen Ferguson, Irene Wagg, Marie Gatto foursome leave that “bowl ’em over, leave ’em breathless” spirit to Flo Moschetti, who can handle the situation all by herself. We hereby appoint Mr. Langford, our principal, sole executor of this, our last will and testament. CLASS OF 1942 Dated: June, 1942. John E. Dineen, Attorney. Witnesses: John Ferguson William McLaren 62 The Enfield Echo ADVICE TO UNDERGRADUATES (By Kendall Dolge) Friends and undergraduate pupils of Enfield High: I use the word pupils for the word student would be a gross injustice. You see, a student studies. For many years past it has been the custom at this time for some senior to waste both his time and voice in trying to impart a little advice to the unrespon- sive minds of you undergraduates. I find it difficult to know where to begin. However, I believe that if I take you on a tour of Enfield High and show you how you look to others you will be able to correct your own mistakes. Now mount with me this magic carpet, and we shall spend a day at the undergraduate’s Enfield. It is now five minutes of eight and we are standing in the hall of Enfield High School. That is more than you can say for the would-be students. You might call their position a slump or a slouch—but never standing. Look at them. Are they sleep walk- ing or is that their usual early morning stare? Some of them must have dressed with their eyes closed. Look at the open collared, loose necktied boys; and the frowsy-headed girls with their war paint. That generally distressed look probably can be accounted for by last night’s date and no homework done for today. Is there a flood outside, or do those junior boys think they are still in their childhood wearing knickers? Here come a group of sophomore girls, pigtails, bow ribbons, and all. No, I tell you this is not a kindergarten; this is the undergraduate’s high school. And look at the pile of books the girls carry. Whom do they think they are fooling. No one could study that many books and still retain that blank look. Which do you admire—the girls who attempt to put up a front or the boys who have no books at all? May I also ask this question? What have you undergraduates anyway? From sitting in your classes I learn that you have no books, no pencils, no pen, no papers and judging by all evidence, no brains. I’ll admit that you do have plenty of chewing gum, plenty of nerve, plenty of make-up, and plenty of giggles. The contrast between this undergraduate’s room and the senior’s room is obvious. Let’s look into room 26. Notice the orderly, business-like way, they work. Look at their attire—neat, dignified, and refined. Watch the girls, all of whom are masters of the art of make-up, although unlike the undergraduates, they don’t display their ability to put it on, in every classroom. Notice that they all have poise and act like ladies and gentlemen. This of course, my friends, is the goal which you will naturally hope to attain. At present your chances of reaching this end are practi- cally nil. A glance into the nearest mirror will reveal why. If you HONOR STUDENTS—CLASS OF 1942 Back Row (left to right) — Edward Button, Robert Shelanskas, Martin O’Brien, John Dineen, Kendall Dolge, William Conley.

You know while there is life there’s hope. The only time I’ve ever seen any life in you boys is when you are near a senior girl, especially at dances. It’s all right to give them admiring looks, but that does not give you a special license to consider yourselves their social equals. Also you undergraduate girls, when a senior condescends to give you the honor of dancing with him, please don’t drape yourselves around his neck; try not to giggle through the whole dance. Do you undergraduates still think you’re on the farm pumping water? Or do you really believe that this arm pumping is good dancing? One more thing, the dance floor isn’t a race track. You may be thirsty but that five yard dash to the soda booth isn’t necessary. Just watch the stately seniors promenade the dance floor and perhaps you can learn something. From watching you upper class undergraduates I have come to the conclusion that you must use these mottoes. Here, apparently, are a few of the mottoes of undergraduates. When the bell rings, “Every man for himself.” “Never do any- thing today that you can do tomorrow.” “Do next period’s home- work this period.” All these and many others of a similar nature are the symbols of the almost human beings who are going to attempt to fill our places. Now our magic carpet carries us to the freshmen. Here, borrow my microscope and you will probably be able to see them. Let us enter one of their class rooms. Here we are. We notice their discipline is perfect. They really act like a bunch of sheep. Odd, but they have the same look too. There goes the bell and here comes a kindergarten blitzkrieg. Pigtails, bow ribbons, over- alls, tieless shirts are all in evidence. In explanation we learn that their mothers don’t dress them any more. At a dance we notice they do exceptionally well. That, of course, is due to the senior’s tutoring. In a more serious mood, I would like to say that we of the senior class have really enjoyed your companionship and cooper- ative spirit. It has made these four years the most pleasant in our lives. In parting might I suggest that you continue to give your money for defense stamps and bonds and a thing, that is just as important, your education. All the leaders of our armed forces have continually stressed the importance of students finishing their high school. I realize the promises of high wages, etc. will tempt you to give up your studies before you have completed these four years. But you can serve your country best by graduating. Thank you again for all the little things that made our years pleasant. The Enfield Echo 65 RESPONSE FOR UNDERGRADUATES (By William O’Brien) Ladies and Gentlemen, and my dear overconfident Class of 1942: We, as undergraduates, are always recipients to good advice, but to take advice from irresponsible seniors, to our way of think- ing, would greatly hinder our success. When the present senior class were sophomores, our junior class were freshmen, and we did our very best to imitate the soph- omore class. This is no doubt responsible for our sleeping in the first few classes. For when we were freshmen, the sophomores, who are now seniors seemed to be successful whilst wandering around in sort of a stupor. As for the junior boys wearing rolled up pants, we all know it was a senior boy who started this custom. Our boys at least wore long pants, not knickers as the seniors did, in their sophomore year. I believe your speaker ridiculed the soph- omore girls for wearing pigtails, and bow ribbons, well it seems to me that some four seniors have been more than pleased to take our girls to dances and other social affairs. We, underclassmen, admit that we have plenty of chewing gum and plenty of giggles, but we know the time and place for each. As for the seniors, class night is no place to chew gum and giggle. The senior class had better stop looking at the world through rose-colored glasses, for we all know that when Room 26 is inhab- ited by the seniors it is practically a madhouse. Seniors, your representative must have been mistaken about the underclass girls being draped around senior boys because those girls are seniors dancing with underclass boys. Apparently they have to hurry on to their underclass gentlemen to escape from the toils of the senior wolves. But now in all seriousness, you seniors have really been great leaders and we are all sorry to see you depart from Enfield. And I can assume that the underclassmen will carry on the good work that you have started with the war effort. It is only with kind thoughts and fond memories that we bid you farewell and good luck in all your endeavors. 66 The Enfield Echo PROGRAM FOR GRADUATION— JUNE 18, 1912 Class Motto—“We Can—We Will” Class Flower—Carnation Class Colors—Red, White and Blue Music—Processional, “Pomp and Circumstance”...........El (jar Invocation REVEREND JOSEPH V.
