The Enfield Echo 13 director is Charles “Cecil B. DeMille” Agro who has signed her to a contract for a movie in Austria. Norma Bishop is the second Joan Davis here in Hollywood and is certainly keeping them roll- ing in the aisles. For an autographed picture of Miss Bishop, con- tact Miss Marie Pelkey, her secretary and business manager. Lorraine Lawton is the noted hair-dresser who does all the latest hair-dos for the actresses. Assisting Lorraine is Zerline Oates, who has just returned from abroad where she has studied hair styles. But now, I must return home to dear old Enfield. I find that Catherine Birkenshaw is a bookkeeping teacher in our own Alma Mater, along with Bill McLaren who has succeeded his father as janitor there. Scheduled tonight is a girls’ basketball game, between the “Black Sheep” and the “Holy Terrors.” Star players for the “Holy Terrors” are Marion Dubiel and Wanda Duda. I must see that game since it is listed as a very fast one! Vernon Ellis is strictly a familv man nowadays. He is the owner of a very large farm and quite a family. Keeping his farm records in order is a former classmate, Vincy Coronna. Our recently elected first selectman of Thompsonville is Edward Falkowski, and the new chief of police is John Holland. Congratulations, men! I see the Visiting Nurse’s car parked in front of the Higgins School. The newlv appointed Visiting Nurse is Arlene Leonwicz and her assistant is Isabelle Podosek. But now I must return my magic carpet. So— We hope this news you have enjoyed, With which we have long been employed. So we put our magic carpet away, Until we need it another day.

12 The Enfield Echo type of entertainment. I again flew East and landed at Madison Square Garden. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw the queen of the show, Irene Sczepanek, doing acrobatics on roller skates. I’m sure you will agree that this performance is a truly pleasant end to this part of my adventure. Part III (By Corinne Mercik) My! I love my magic carpet! Here I am flying over the At- lantic Ocean. But what’s that down there? Why, it’s a huge ocean liner resembling the Queen Mary now en route for distant ports. To my surprise I find many of my former classmates aboard the vessel. Dr. Edward Hunt, the great surgeon, is among them. He is now taking a rest trip after many months of hard work, having successfully completed a most difficult operation on the world renowned artist, James Misuraca. I understand James was doing too much painting, thus injuring his arm. Dr. Hunt is ably assisted by Nurses Jean Spazzarini, Sheila Miltner, and Helene Swist. Walking along into the Recreation Hall, I see Josephine Viola doing a beautiful dance. I learn from her that she is now on her way to London where she has been asked to dance for the king. What a girl! Josephine attributes all her success to her business agent Joe Adamcheck. Sitting peacefully on a deck chair is the noted Rita Porcello, who is now a fashion designer. A great many of her latest sketches are appearing in “Seventeen and A Half.” She is wearing dark glasses, but you can’t hide from your admiring public, Rita. Also aboard the USS Enfield are the famous dress-makers, Bertha Kamay and Dorothy Kamaros who, I discovered, are heading for Paris where they expect to study the latest Parisienne styles. At dinner, I learned that the skipper of the USS Enfield is none other than Edward Krawczyk. Yes, Eddie always did want to be a sailor. It seems he has realized his ambition. Speaking of realiz- ing one’s ambition, Thomas “Leonardo D’Vinci” Secondo is return- ing to Italy to perform his greatest achievement, that of painting the king’s portrait. Reading over his notes, the noted lecturer- author Donald Colon is en route to England where he expects to lecture on “Education in Our Day,” written by his personal secre- tary, Matilda Buczkowski. Flying back to the U. S. A. I visit sunny California, where I encounter Marilyn Ginns teaching child stars. What a fascinating occupation! As Marilyn guided me about the “Faramount Studios” we heard a familiar voice. Of course, Sadie Severino is singing as she did in the good old days. Her business manager and
