VOL. 30 THOMPSONVILLE, CONN., JUNE, 1943 NO. 1 ADDRESS OF WELCOME (By Robert Keller, President) As president of the class of 1943, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you our parents, teachers, and friends, to our class night exercises. This is a momentous occasion for us. We have been students in this school for four years, working together and playing together. Many important changes due to the war have affected our class directly. We are the first class to have had courses in aeronautics. For the first time this year the entire school studied War Economics, First Aid and Air Raid Protection. One of our classmates was called to the colors in January; most of the boys in this class will be inducted into the army this summer. Jobs have been plentiful and we are proud of the fact that over ninety percent of the seniors have been working afternoons or evenings this past year. Tonight on the eve of a changing world which will affect every- one of us greatly, we turn our thoughts in lighter vein to the happy hours spent at Enfield. We hope that you will enjoy the program we have prepared for you as we share our reminiscences of the past four years. Once again, a hearty welcome to you from the Class of ’43. CLASS HISTORY (By Myrtle Merrill) Please Remember Me I was born on a bright, sunny day in the month of September, the year 1939, and was called 1943. I was an enormous child, haughty, arrogant, and possessed with big ideas. I was especially proud of having a home of my own, since my elder brothers and sisters were seldom around in the afternoon. However, I soon be- came acquainted with the older members of my vast family—via the detention slip, a privilege indulged in by a rare but select minority. 6 The Enfield Echo Prominent activities during 1939 and 1940 were the glee club, the Hi-Y, and the basketball team, which boasted of whipping the day-lights out of the varsity team, a feat never accomplished. As the year progressed, my family was faced with the task of selecting potential and competent officers. The honors went to Joe Czipulis, president; Wanda Parvelac and Gene Furey, vice- presidents; Ann Scavotto, secretary, and Lucyan Augustyniak, treasurer. Many fond memories were cherished that first winter. When Mother Nature drew the curtains at 5 o’clock each one of us found delight in walking home. And then there was the enviable but not forgotten dancing school. How well 1 remember the struggling efforts of my family as it endeavored to enhance its gracefulness through the patient tutelage of Hazel and Tommy. It still remains a mystery as to why these two enthusiasts did not continue their teaching to another freshman group. Alas, spring came, and as the days grew longer and tbe year shorter, each member of the family eagerly looked forward to the coming year. I returned in the fall of 1940, older, wiser, and much more confident. At least I thought 1 was important until I tried to walk through the downstairs corridor while classes were passing and was literally trampled upon by my elder brothers, 1941 and 1942. How to assert my rights! Ah, the freshmen! They are innocent and gullible. This idea was short-lived, however, as this year’s crop made it known that one year didn’t add much to one’s growth. It wasn’t long before the talents of the family were recognized. In the fall “Geese” Baronian and Ann Scavotto were given stellar roles in the Hi-Y minstrel. Their performances added a feather to my cap. Now that the ice was broken, nothing could stop my prog- ress. During the year I entered into extra-curricular activities, such as the Hi-Y, the Girl Reserves, and the glee club, to say nothing of basketball, with such well-known stars as Steve Triolo, Joe Czipulis, and Henry Buika. The second year was also marked by the organization of a new uniformed cheering squad, with Ann Scavotto and Doris Bechard representing the family. The popularity and commendable work of Wanda Parvelac, Ann Scavotto, and Lucyan Augustyniak helped them to retain their honors as vice-president, secretary, and treasurer respectively, while a new leader arose from our midst in the person of Bill O’Brien to carry on the responsibilities of president. The year rolled on and spring came again. I became conscious of the fact that I was aging rapidly by the loss of my esteemed brother, 1941. Keenly looking forward to another year, one in which I would be the second eldest member of my family, I was scarcely aware of the momentous step to be taken in my family history. The Enfield Echo 7 When I returned again in the fall of 1941, I realized the loss of the head of my great family, Mr. Parkman, Superintendent of Schools. His absence is keenly felt at the family gatherings, but he will long remain in our hearts. Mr. Lee, our principal, was elected to take Mr. Parkman’s place, and Mr. Langford replaced Mr. Lee. I enjoyed a very active and profitable year under the friendly guidance of Mr. Langford. The Hi-Y minstrel was a howling suc- cess under the direction of comedy-master Mr. Tatoian. The leads in the school play were enriched by Esther Radosti, Warren Haight, Myrtle Merrill, and Therese DuBois. 1 proved that I deserved the right to wear long pants by making my Junior Prom something to be long remembered. The dignity and success of the prom was complete under the reign of Host Warren Haight and Hostess Doris Bechard. Bill O’Brien and Wanda Parvelac were again chosen for presi- dent and vice-president, and Edith Magill was elected secretary with Bob Keller as treasurer. Due to adverse conditions, it was suggested that the Washing- ton trip be taken this year, rather than wait until after the duration. Many of my family made the trip with the pompous Seniors and returned filled with the enthusiasm of the born traveler. Those who were unable to make the trip were envious of the more fortunate ones. That spring we lost a very valuable member of our family. Our loss, however, was Mr. Langford’s gain, as he left the family circle to take up the superintendency in Putnam. The next fall I returned to welcome Mr. Hassett as the new principal. He has worked faithfully and diligently with us and for us, and I am proud to be the first class to graduate under him. The first event of my crowning year was the Senior-Freshman Reception, where I mingled with the small fry and welcomed them into the family. Now I was the eldest, the wisest and the strongest member of my family. I held the enviable position of the Senior! Defiant from the start, I chose an entirely new slate of officers. President, Bob Keller; vice-president, Mike Panella; secretary, Rosalie D’Aleo; and treasurer, Bob Starr. The Hi-Y minstrel once again proved successful with Warren Haight acting as master of ceremonies. Dwelling for a moment on that performance, how can I forget the foolish antics of Baronian, the precision and beauty of the Follies Bergere, not to mention others. The White Christmas Prom’s success was due in no small meas- ure to the efforts of Bob Keller who acted as general chairman. He and Myrtle Merrill, as host and hostess, added to the evening’s festivities. The school play, “Sky Roads,” saw many of my family capably displaying their talents. Those participating were Donald Richards, Myrtle Merrill, Warren Haight, Bob Starr, and Gen O’Hara. 8 The Enfield Echo CLASS PROPHECY (By Wanda Parvelac, Marjorie Bridge, John Rarus, Warren Haight) Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is Marjorie Bridge, flight hostess, reporting the take-off of the Trans-Oceanic Transport Plane from Bradley Field, the center of Trans-Atlantic Flights all over the world since January 1957. Our crew consists of seven men, two of whom are Warren Haight and John Rarus, members of the class of 1943. On our passenger list I find Wanda Parvelac who was voted the most diligent student of our class. Excuse me for a moment while I run over to speak to her. Marjorie: “I see that you are going to Florida.” Wanda: “Yes, the war bonds I purchased are now redeemable, in full, and I’m taking my well-earned vacation.” Marjorie: “If you’re still living in Thompsonville, you must be in touch with quite a few members of our graduating class.” Wanda: “Yes. Have you heard that Robert Shea is the most prosperous hardware man of the town, selling screws and wrenches to Paul Rivard and Arthur Slanetz? Fuzzy Fasano still keeps his old theory of lying in bed until noon. Now that his stores, ‘Fuzzy’s Self Service Markets’ are prospering so well he is able to put the theory into practice. Mike Panella has contracted to do the plumb- ing of Richard Moody’s new yacht. Richy won the boat by selling the most subscriptions to the ‘Thompsonville Gazette’ last year.” Marjorie: “I heard from Henry Falkowski who is connected with the Pratt Whitney plants in Connecticut. He is on an as- signment in Ireland teaching wayward gremlins a trade. Henry made a flying trip to Lisbon last week and there he met Nicholas Giaccone, who is purser on a large trans-oceanic plane. On his last trip he had Gene Furey and Charlotte Leathe as passengers. Gene, our successful business woman, owns a silver fox farm in Canada. Charlotte is her advisor and general business manager. Henry’s business didn’t keep him in Lisbon long and on his return who should be piloting his plane but Edward Knight, who is noted for making a non-stop flight around the world in seven and a half hours. Eddie happened to mention Edwin Jarmoc’s name and Henry asked One of the saddest events during my Senior year was losing numerous of my friends who felt it their patriotic duty to serve Uncle Sam. Among these were Miss Edith Simonton, Miss Eliza- beth Crombie, and Mr. Homer Fowler from the faculty. There were also Leon Beauregard and Joseph Bajek from the class. With a tear in my eye, a prayer in my heart, and a smile on my lips, I now part from my favorite family, and turn from the lovely past to the uncertain future with a fond hope that the coming years will be as rich as these past four years have been. The Enfield Echo 9 about him. As a mechanical engineer, Edwin is making a name for himself. At present he is completing plans for a plastic airplane with plastic and cellophane wings. Back in high school we thought that almost everything possible had been done to the airplane but if anything more can be done, Edwin is the one to do it. “Why here come Pilot Warren Haight and Flight Engineer, John Rarus.” Warren: “We heard through the communication system that you were reminiscing and we thought we’d join in. We were re- lieved by Joe Wenc and Joe Czipulis.” John: “Do you remember when Henry Bellinger was appointed chief of the A.A.P.A. (the Anti-Axis Propaganda Administration) ? When Dr. Goebels heard him he knew he was through, so there was another suicide in Nazi Germany. Also another genius of our class, Arthur Morris, now an eminent scientist, has employed Roberta McGuire to be his assistant. He is contemplating a trip to Mars to see how the law of gravity really works.” Warren: “During the time I have been piloting this plane I have transported Francis Lutwinas to China where he has tried his luck at farming. He tried to persuade Warren MacGovern to go with him but Warren was too interested in his book, ‘How to Foil Escape from Prison’ to leave. Nevertheless, Helen Mockrycki, of the local ‘Girl Victory Garden Club’ fame consented to go along. In China they met Patricia McGinity, a nurse, engaged in rehabil- itation work, trying to get home. Ella Raffia secretary to George Maylott, head of the ‘U Lika Go, We Lika Take’ Travel Bureau, finally arranged her passage home.” Marjorie: “Speaking of farmers, Donald Graham recently in- vented a device for preventing the flies from bothering the cows. Don invented this in his spare time on the farm and he is now in Washington applying for a patent. During his absence, his brother, Gordon Graham, is managing his farm along with his own. They have adjoining farms on the outskirts of the city of Hazardville. Gordon is working on some experiments for getting chickens to lay square eggs so that they can be packed more economically.” John: “The most photographed model in New York, Irene Bourque, is posing for those creative gowns of Marion Boland on Park Avenue. Irene still keeps that streamlined figure. Tim Con- ley, her manager, sees to that.” Wanda: “Myrtle Merrill, Miss America 1950, is being starred in her next picture ‘Why Men Prefer Blondes’ or ‘Blondie and Donald.’ It is also rumored that Miss Merrill has employed Edith Magill to provide her with witty remarks. Edith’s book ‘A Remark for Every Occasion’ is still rated number 1 on the nation book- shelves.” Wanda: “Robert Starr, Hollywood’s new glamour boy, made his debut at the premiere at the Franklin Theater.” Warren: “Last month I was in New York with some 10 The Enfield Echo friends and we went to the Roxy Theater one evening. We were entertained by the famous ballet dancer, Emily Farrick. I hadn’t seen Emily for a year or more so I went back stage after the show. Evidently I wasn’t the only one with that idea for I met Gloria Larson there. Gloria is taking Walter Winchell’s place as a re- porter for the stars in Hollywood. She is on the radio five times a week over a nation wide hook up. Emily mentioned that she had been visited by Stella Guminieak a night or two ago. Stella is in show business herself and has a promising career ahead of her in Hollywood.” Marjorie: “Michaline Dusza previously supervising scenery at M.G.M. Studios in Hollywood, now has the duty of seeing Walt Disney personally and showing him the ideas of Rosalie D’Aleo. She is the creator of ‘Numbo’ the Wolf. She got the idea at Enfield High School. John: “Hollywood is not the only place that has our local talent but also the sporting field—Paul ‘Ted Husing’ Mancini gives his home town buddies, Bill O’Brien, pitcher for N. Y. Yankees, a plug in his column ‘Play Ball’ whenever he can. Bob Keller is coaching football and baseball at the United Nation’s University established in Switzerland for the purpose of training boys of all nations. Edward Kazmerski is his chief assistant and is in charge of the track team. He claims that he now has a four minute miler and he will race him in Enfield. Harris Hicks, who is in charge of the physical education program at Tuskegee Institute, in Alabama, predicts that he will produce the All-American team of colored champions this year.” Wanda: “Keeping the students of Enfield in the sharpest con- dition are Coach Steve Triolo and Physical Ed. Teacher Ann Sca- votto. Gen O’Hara and Esther Radosti are back at Enfield, now as teachers. Perhaps they appreciate the struggle the teachers had in keeping them quiet.” Warren: “While at the Hotel Astoria one night, the world’s hottest jazz band under the leadership of Harry James Therrian was playing. Some of the members are Don Richards on the clari- net, Baronian on the drums, and Sadie Luczai at the key board. Pert little Doris Bechard does the vocalizing. On the same program is Irene Ludwin. Irene has just come back from a personal appear- ance tour of Europe and Asia. Interesting to note is, that all of Irene’s costumes were designed by Margaret O’Connor who recently had won the coveted honor of designing costumes for Women’s Auxiliary Service Units.” Marjorie: “The war has had a direct influence on many of our classmates. Lt. Francis Hanks of the Quartermaster Corps at Bradley Field has been widely acclaimed for his influence in passing the new rule in regard to army life. It is now possible for the soldiers to have their breakfast in bed as long as they are up by 5:30 A.M. Another phase of the war was the women mechanics The Enfield Echo II who did much to win the war for us. They are still the essential part of the world and Frances Kukulka is doing work along this line in recovered Poland. She is Rehabilitation Director of the Warsaw Industries, Inc.” John: “Members of the WAVES Training School at North- ampton, Mass., Sophie Korona, Aspacia Kamaros, Theresa Du Bois, and Sadie Mancuso are being taught by that expert on dentistry, Jennie Buczkowski. These girls plan to make a set of false teeth that will automatically come out when the body gets fatigued and gets ready for bed. Gobs Francis Padrevita, Milton Landry, Wil- liam Munsell, and Matthew Bajek, are being ‘put through the ropes’ by Lt. (J.G.) Peter Buscemi. They are training to be gunners without the triviality of shooting guns.” Wanda: “We find Lucyan Augustyniak a camouflage artist in the United States Army. He is personally responsible for the camouflage of General Douglas MacArthur’s cars. Captains Sec- ondo and Stevenson, while on a special government mission in Washington, saw Fannie Tomaszek, Hallie Stevenson, Virginia Young, and Jennie Sarno in the White House as private secretaries to the President of the United States. Also while there, they met Congresswomen Jean Tomoka and Miriam Ryan who had come to Washington to pass a bill to have a childrens’ village established in every state in the Union.” Warren: “Those three smart girls around town, Margaret McKelligott, Bertha Gracewski, and Mildred O’Donnell have moved to Washington, D. C. They are employed in the Bureau of Vital Statistics on Japan. Their job is to find out what happened to the Japanese race.” Marjorie: “Did you know that that unmistaken red head, Edith Green has been in the Fiji Islands? She went there as a missionary but realized that a bigger profit could be made teaching home eco- nomics to the cannibals. She had a bright feather in her hat which reminded me of the fact that Joseph Krajewski is experimenting with ostriches on his farm in Africa. He is trying to get the ostrich feathers to grow in colors so it won’t be necessary to dye them.” John: “Rose Aloisa and Mary Angelica are working on a new hat that will be 100% revolutionary. It will be just a plain ordinary bonnet. Jennie Ludwin is the head seamstress in their factory.” Wanda: “This morning I noticed in the paper a ‘Help Wanted’ item stating that Leonard Landry, who has taken up residence on Lonely Rock as a lighthouse keeper, was looking for someone to assist him in serving his life sentence so that he could get away and get married. Doesn’t he know when he is well off?” Warren: “That neat figure skater, Genevieve Podosek and her financial and personal manager, Gladys Bonk, have toured North- ern Alaska. While there they met Mary Coronna trving to set up a factory making air conditioning units to be installed in igloos. It is now ‘The Thing’ in Eskimo society to have a Coronna Appliance.” 12 The Enfield Echo Marjorie: “Wanda, don’t forget to visit the Plaza Hotel in Palm Springs now owned by John Ward and you’ll be sure to get an excellent meal prepared by our own Marian Ravinski, the Hotel’s chief dietician.” John: “You might happen to see Helen Sredzinski, Mary Za- wistowski, and Jeanette Bourque who have made their home there for the present. They are trying to establish a Grant Store in every corner of the world.” Wanda: “Have any of you read the book by that famous novel- ist, Mary Rinaldi, ‘How to Win Friends and Annihilate People’? It was published by the famous Ragno Book Publishing Company.” Warren: “I’ve heard of it but haven’t yet had the opportunity to read it. I heard a rumor that Helen Dynia has worked her way to the head of the distribution office for the Strand Syndicates. During her ascent to fame, she attributed her success to the Enfield High School Students who helped her exceedingly with their patron- age.” Marjorie: “All our classmates in California aren’t in the movie picture industry. Frances Fiore is private secretary to the head of a firm that designs convertible houses which work on the same idea as the old-style convertible cars; just push a button and the roof moves back to allow the good old vitamin activating California sun- shine to enter.” John: 11 Anna DiFranco, the chief woman lecturer at the Rocke- feller Institute at precisely 2:10 P.M. shows the masseuring art of Josephine Degregerio. They had toured all of Europe and Africa. Ann lectures on the reactions of the muscles while Josephine dem- onstrates the procedure.” Wanda: “Barbara Peterka is still selling flowers at the Enfield Gardens. She has done research in cross breeding flowers. Her latest achievement was grafting an orchid on a sun flower.” Marjorie: “One of our recent passengers was John Raissi who was going to Greece to help rebuild educational institutions in Greece and the United States. He is also engaged in instituting a complete physical culture program which includes American Base- ball.” Marjorie: “Well we’re reaching our landing point so I’ll have to leave. Good-bye for now and give my regards to the Members of Our Class.” Front B. Second K. HONOR row (left to right)—W. Gracewski, M. Duda, I. STUDENTS—CLASS OF Parvelac, M. Boland, E.

Bellinper, Class of ’43) Ladies and Gentlemen and my dear undistinguished undergraduates: This occasion is unique! Although I realize that my efforts to advise you nincompoops will be of no avail, nevertheless I must con- form to the custom of previous years and attempt to instruct you in some of the fine points to be followed by high school students. I hear from certain sources that about 1 5 of you Juniors will be- come Seniors, and half of you will be elevated to Seniorship on probation. To the Juniors: From your records I am fearful the responsibilities of being Seniors will overpower your rigid intellect. You will miss the guidance and council of the honorable class of ’43. You jazz boys and swing sisters should “smarten up”. We have a war to fight. Instead of trying to cram into your limited brains the thoughts of a month prior to a test, try taking some time off beforehand and you might know a little more when the test comes. I doubt, how- ever, if even that will help. Those sweaters that dangle on you, and those cuffs and loud socks make you look pitiful. Besides, the war effort needs this excess of material and you would look a little more like a prospective Senior. I also would suggest that you Juniors wear your class rings in your noses so you can be led to water more easily! To the Sophomores: Why do you Sophomores crawl through the halls as though a lion were chasing you? I know that the Juniors require brute force to compensate for their lack of intellect but if you call on the distinguished Seniors we can put a stop to that! You Sophomores possess more intellect than the Juniors and don’t let them tell you otherwise. You recognize the superiority of the Seniors and wisely look to them for wisdom and counsel. If you continue this attitude your greatness and stature as a class will be predetermined. To the Freshmen: You have a big order to fill. I would suggest that the school install a milk bar so that some of you might grow big enough to fill your desk and save the town the money of altering them. Also we should have a day nursery equipped with rattles and dolls. This will satisfy the desire of the Freshmen to play. The building is for your use only in part. There are three other classes above you. Eliminate your pretense and you will get along better with us. We know who you are and from whence you came. It is customary to add a serious note to this criticism. I want, to say earnestly that your cooperation and school spirit have been The Enfield Echo 45 RESPONSE FOR THE UNDERGRADUATES (By Fred Bomely, President of ’44) Ladies and Gentlemen, and the unsophisticated Class of 19US: We deem it unnecessary for you to bestow this deficient advice, but will accept it gracefully for we do not want to hurt your feel- ings. Friends of Enfield, doesn’t it look hopeless? To think that this graduating class is going out into the big cruel world with those bewildered looks on their faces. I guess they are still wondering how they finally arrived at graduation time. The representative of the Senior Class said that the Junior students had sweaters hanging down to their feet and we should save the material for the war effort. But I ask you, don’t you think the Seniors are carrying it a bit too far when the boys come to school in knickers and the girls with skirts two inches above the knees? You are supposed to look like ladies and gentlemen when you are Seniors, I thought. My friend said that the undergraduates should get into the war effort. Let me tell you the result of the War Courses that were studied in the high school this year. In Air Raid Precaution there were 130 Sophomores compared to 71 Seniors, in War Economics 129 Sophomores compared to 83 Seniors, and in First Aid 138 Juniors to 97 Seniors. Every Freshman has had the Air Raid Pre- caution Course. I guess the Seniors were not capable of under- standing such important material. It was said that if the Sophomores continue to follow the ex- ample of the Seniors their future would be predetermined. It cer- tainly would! Do you want to end up like the Class of 1943? Yes, maybe a day nursery and milk bar should be installed for the Freshman. The one the Seniors had this year seemed quite suc- cessful from all the noise and confusion in Room 26, the Seniors’ home room. However, in all seriousness, we, the undergraduates, are cer- tainly going to miss you after you leave Enfield. We want to wish you success and know you will do the job well wherever you go whether it be in the armed forces or on the home front. May I, in parting, give you this little advice? “Buy War Bonds and Stamps. They give their lives ! We lend our money.” I thank you. gratifying. The war situation has altered many of our former pursuits. These will be changed increasingly as the war progresses. I would urge that you become adjusted to the changes. I am sure that your attitude and cooperation suggest that you will be success- ful in the future. It is your duty to continue the excellent standard of Enfield High. 1 am sure that you are capable of doing this. I thank you. EDITORIAL STAFF OF “STATIC” Front row (left to right)- W. Haight, M.

The Enfield Echo 47 CLASS WILL (By Doris Bechard) Friends, Faculty Members, Underclassmen: We, the Class of 1943, being of sound and intelligent mind, do hereby publish and make known, our last will and testament, de- claring null and void all previous wills and testaments, bequeathing the property hereinafter described to its stated receivers. To our principal and our teachers we leave blessed peace, calm days, and peaceful nights, undisturbed by the harrowing problems that we as a class present them. To them too, we leave memories. Memories, that in days to come will soften and grow mellow, and finally serve only as amus- ing tales to brighten their autobiographies. To Mrs. Eddy we leave a microphone so that she might make herself heard above the babble of the incoming Senior Classmen. Bob Watton and Elizabeth Stowe, are left with the undying flame of love which exists between Donald Richards and Myrtle Merrill. Henry Bellinger and Alan Stevenson, leave their height to Tiny Bomley. To our successors, the Junior Class, we leave our prestige, our dignity and our seats in Room 26. In addition we bequeath to them the joy and zest of competing for class honors, a taste of sorrow for those who don’t quite make the grade, and quiet pride for those who do. In particular Rosile D’Aleo leaves her wittiness to Janet Bromage. Sadie Luczai, Michaline Duza, Tess DuBois, and Margaret McKelligott leave their giggles to Joan Kennedy who can handle the situation all by herself. From Warren McGovern and Harold Therrien, Casmo Bosco is left a bottle of rubbing alcohol which he will use, due to sore arms derived from cranking the mimeograph machine. Joe Czipulis’s jitter-buggin’ is left to Billy Gallent. The Super-dupper Lincoln Zepher owned by Paul Rivard is left to Myles Kennedy. We leave them the joys of anticipation, regret for lost oppor- tunities and the many impressive resolutions we made during the past year. For the sophomores, alas, we have nothing to offer that would seem of value to them. What could we leave them? The class that has everything. Brains, beauty and an inexhaustible supply of self-esteem. At the moment they are enjoying that most enviable of all sensations, the assurance that the world is their apple, and a nice rosy apple at that. All we can give them is our sincere hope 48 The Enfield Echo that they can stand up under the shock when they discover, as they will, that even the most tempting looking apple can conceal a worm in its core. We leave Bob Keller’s way with women, to the wolf of the Sophomore class, Sam Scavotto. We bequeath the so-called orchestra comprised of Geese Baronian, Donald Richards, and Harold Therrien to Clarence Hicks and Donald Brown. To the freshmen, bless their hearts, we bequeath all our dreams that didn’t come true, our ambitions that we never quite achieved, and our one shining belief in the essential rightness of all things! We leave them the unequalled joy of giggling at nothing; the pains and pleasures of puppy love, which they will be very sure is not puppy love, and the thrill of discovering unsuspected talents within themselves. To the underclassmen we leave Mr. Tatoian, and Mr. Lyons. To the children still in grammar and primary schools to the infants still in their cradles, and to those as yet unborn ; to all those who will one day be students at Enfield High School we leave all that has been most precious to us during our school days here. The power to make lasting friendships; the breathtaking thrill of watching a football team carry the Green and White of Enfield to a glorious victory, and the heart-breaking thrill of watching a gallant team go down fighting to a glorious defeat. We leave them the glow of satisfaction that comes from rep- resenting their school on the field of honor; companionship, and laughter, and the ever increasing enjoyment of life that comes with increasing knowledge. To our teachers, to the underclassmen and to the future stu- dents; to all those who share and will share the love we feel for Enfield High School we leave our blessing and our solemn pledge of unwavering loyalty. We hereby appoint Mr. Hassett, our principal, sole executor of this, our last will and testament. Class of 1943 Dated: June, 1943. Doris M.
