VOL. 33 THOMPSONVILLE, CONN., JUNE, 1946 NO. 1 WELCOME (By Richard Vining, President) As president of the graduating class of 1946, I welcome you to our class night exercises. We, the members of the Class of ’46, have for the past four years worked diligently to attain this first step in our commence- ment exercises. We have been in high school during three years of war. Though some of our members have gone to the army and navy and though many of the others have served on the home front, we have carried on our education. Now that peace is here, our goal in sight, and our eyes focused on the future, we stand ready to meet whatever comes our way, thanks to the help that was given to us by you, our teachers, parents, and friends. We are going out to fulfill our destiny with a determined spirit and a will to win. Tonight, however, we have met to recall the happy hours at Enfield High. Once again, on behalf of the graduating class of nineteen forty- six, a sincere welcome to you. CLASS HISTORY (By Dorothy Bridge) Tonight, as we look back upon these past four years at Enfield, many events flash before our minds. When we entered the doors of this school as meek, mild freshmen, this Class Night seemed very far away. Now it is here, and we pause tonight to catch hold of some memories we never want to lose. Our first day as freshmen, back in the haze of 1942, is just one such memory. Don’t let anyone fool you. We were scared to death! We wandered around through strange rooms and suc- ceeded in getting misplaced here and there. With us came our principal, Mr. J. Frank Hassett who replaced Mr. Langford. Then came the Senior-Freshman reception. That night we gazed in awe 6 The Enfield Echo upon the seniors, and the year 1946 seemed very far away. We went to Dancing Class every week during the fall. We soon dared to try our social wings at the proms. We took all these events in our stride and when we budded into sophomores, we felt dignity already descending upon us. At least WE thought so! Our sophomore year started off with a bang! In October, two of our classmates, Richard Vining and Lincoln Fuge, participated in the Columbia School of the Air. In November, several of our sophomores, namely, Virginia Green, Jean Humphries, Bernice Larrabee, and Fred Hanks were soloists in the Minstrel, “South Land Revue.” Class elections were held in December. President, James Richards; Vice-President, Ray Tanguay; secretary, Cath- erine Alaimo, and Treasurer, Josephine Bruno became our capable leaders. We remember vividly the annual school play, and were greatly honored to have our own Lincoln Fuge play the lead in “What A Life.” Another star was added to our crown when Miss Josephine Bruno won a silver medal in the State-Latin Contest. At the end of June, a new “Static” staff was chosen with Elinor MacGovern as Editor-in-Chief, and Joan Klaus as Assistant Editor. As we looked back upon our days as sophomores, we felt proud of our achievements as a class. And we were very eager to assume the important role of Juniors. Through the year of 1945 many memorable events occurred. There was much enthusiasm about the election of the junior class officers. Each candidate presented his views at assembly and the following were elected by the Junior Class to represent them. President, Richard Vining; Vice-President, Fred Hanks; Secretary, Wanda Mastalisz and Treasurer, Marie Binnenkade. An assembly was held in November, during the time of the presidential election. Robert Cummings, Frank Jakubiec, James Jackson, Richard Vin- ing, and Charles Alaimo participated. This assembly, composed of all Juniors, was acclaimed by all as a high light of the year. The following Juniors took part in Radio Broadcasts over WDRC: Marie Binnenkade, Hildegarde Thoben, Richard Vining, Lincoln Fuge, Robert Cummings, and James Jackson. Miss Marie Binnen- kade and Richard Shields, both juniors had the leading roles in the annual school play entitled “Junior Miss.” This play became one of the school’s biggest successes of the year. The American International College Model Congress was attended by the following juniors: Frank Jakubiec, Lincoln Fuge, Robert Cummings, Richard Vining, and James Jackson. They all participated in the program. Our outstanding event, which we remember tonight, was the spon- soring of the Junior Prom. The theme of this prom, which was ejoyed by all, was “Southern Fantasy.” Richard Vining and Marie Binnenkade were host and hostess for the Prom. In the second annual inter-class track meet that was held in 1945, the junior class was placed second, trailing the seniors by a few points. A very proud moment came in March when Ramona Figurato, who had The Enfield Echo 7 won first place in the American Legion Area Contest, placed third in the Hartford County Oratorical Contest. Ramona was chosen to represent Enfield at Laurel State Camp held during the summer. She came back to us with the honored title of “best all-around girl.” Frank Jakubiec was chosen to represent Enfield at Boys’ Camp. In April, “Rose of the Danube,” the school operetta, was presented under the supervision of Miss Antrinette Roach with Roland Gagne in the leading role. Frank Gracewski was chosen from forty-two other boys to be awarded the Rural Youth Award. Governor Bald- win presented the award and all of us were thrilled that Frank had won it. With the Victory in Europe coming on May 8, our junior year drew to a close. Every one of us felt that it had been a grand and successful year. In the fall of 1945, as peace once again surrounded the earth, we entered the portals of Enfield to take our place as seniors. At last the cloak of dignity had descended. We hoped we would wear it well. Our Senior-Freshman Reception remains clearly in our minds tonight. It turned out to be a gala affair. Yes, the fresh- men eyed us with awe and we were in our glory. In October, we held Class Elections and once again Richard Vining assumed the role of President with Bernard Santenella, Vice-President; Wanda Mastalisz, Secretary; and Herbert Davidson, Treasurer. In November came the Hi-Y Minstrel, “Happy Landing” with our own Richard Vining as Interlocuter. Our principal, Mr. Hassett, left us during the winter to take up his new duties as Superintendent of Schools in Woburn, Massachusetts. We welcomed as our new principal, Mr. Harry E. Tatoian. In December, our school De- baters under the direction of Mr. J. Hesley Lyons, trimmed the Rotarian debaters on the question concerning military training. Those taking part were James Jackson and Richard Vining. The American Legion Oratorical Contest took place this year with Dorothy Bridge winning the area, county and state contests; thus having the honor of being sent to the regional contest in New Jer- sey, competing with New York and New Jersey Contestants. In April, the school play entitled “Spring Green” was presented. Among the seniors who participated in the production were Marie Binnenkade, Richard Vining, Helen Javorski, Lincoln Fuge, James Jackson, Richard Shields, Charles Alaimo, and Thomas Mailloux. Our happiest and most recent memory is our class trip. We were able to travel to Washington, D. C., where we spent many exciting hours. We profited greatly by this trip not only as a vacation highlight but also as an historical pleasure. Our country means so much more to us now. Tonight, as we close this history, we remember those who are not with us on this Class Night. Among those missing are “Frosty” Ferguson, the popular janitor, who was forced to leave last year because of illness; and Ray Tanguay, who has joined the service. Faculty members, who have returned after service in the armed 8 The Enfield Echo CLASS PROPHECY OF 194G Part I (By Lorraine Tanguay) Ten years ago, we of the class prophecy committee had planned to hold a reunion at the Midnight Spa. After an absence of nearly nine years, I returned home to keep this appointment. To my utter amazement, I discovered that I didn’t know my way around my own home town. 1 had expected changes to take place, but not such overwhelming changes, which in ten short years, had made our little town of Enfield one of the leading metropolises of the world. This, of course, was due to the fact that I had underes- timated the enterprising qualities of one, Frank Jakubiec, whose foresight and determination wrought these miracles. I had pre- dicted that he would hold some judicial position in the future, but I had no idea that he would ever become our “Little Flower” of Enfield. Getting my bearings at good, old Enfield High, I headed north- west to the locality in which I believed was the Midnight Spa. I had to cross through Manischalchi Park, which extended from En- field High down to Main Street. As I walked along, I stopped to read a plaque which verified my suspicions that the park was named in honor of the illustrious composer, Vencenzo Manischalchi, a for- mer classmate, whom I had prophesized would be the owner of the chain grocery stores of Manischalchi Sons. I slowed down a bit to appreciate the beauties of this park. What was once the mill pond was now a winding brook flanked on either side by sunk- en gardens. It was like a horticulturist’s dream, and upon further investigation, I learned that the horticulturist was none other than Mabel Norman, the former supervisor of the Mossing Department at Enfield Gardens. Leaving the park behind, I stood in awe as I viewed the beauti- ful edifice which supplanted the Midnight Spa and all the other lit- tle stores in the vicinity. The ground floor was used as a hotel, in the lobby of which I expected to meet the prophecy committee. As I entered, I had anticipated being greeted with shrieks of laugh- ter and much back-slapping, but to my surprise I was met with warm dignity and poise. As we stepped into the elevator, I noticed that it was operated by Jimmy Ragno, whom I had said would come up in the world. forces are Mr. Russell, Mr. Ricci, Mr. Fowler, and Mr. Angelica. Yes, as you can surely see, we have had four never-to-be-forgotten years at Enfield High School. With this Class History, we lock many memories in our hearts, and the key to them will always be near by. The Enfield Echo 9 We stepped out at the 86th floor where a dainty little hostess showed us to the dining room. She looked very familiar and upon inquiry, I learned she was Leona Gourinski. Anxious to discover how many of our class prophesies had materialized, we got right down to business and began to discuss the information which each of us had accumulated. While in the lobby, Anna Marrochini, the hotel receptionist, told me that many of our old classmates are working here; Johnny Morrison is operating a helicopter service on the roof and June Lesniak is managing a beauty salon on the 18th floor. June’s manicurist, Nellie Nabonzy, and her hair stylist, Claire Cormier are the only two of their kind in the world. Eileen Babonas and Linda Leginza, the owners of an exclusive interior decorating shoppe on the second floor, have just returned from Vienna where they designed the dancing studio of A1 McBride. Anna related that there is a broadcasting station in the east wing of the building, where many of our classmates can be seen. The electrician there is Joe Skarzinski; Mae MacWilliams, our Luella Parsons of today, is now giving the nation its news about the great stars, including Doris McGarrett, who has just finished the picture, “Gone With the Last Winter’s Snow.” To advertise her lonely heart’s bureau, Roz Furey is sponsoring Joe Annis and his accordion in a 30-minute program. At 7 :15 every weekday morning you can join the battle of the bulge by exercising to the rhythm of Connie Bosco’s 1-2-3-4— 1-2-3-4. I hear that she is also teaching physical education in the Enfield schools to all those who manage to survive her previous lessons. Say, remember Kenny Bohannah, whom we predicted would be a bookkeeper? Well, he’s working in Liggett’s Corner Drug Store keeping a million funny books in their specified places. That famous fashion designer, Rose Wojnar, is now planning Vogue’s special design patterns. Did you know that Ginny Green has been elected the first woman dog catcher of Scitico? On many a dark, gloomy night she can be seen walking the lonely street of Scitico singing, “Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone?” Margy Bushey and Bunky Larabee are now singing stars with Joe Garder and his Elastic Band. Bob Rossi, the leading trumpet player of the band, has just won a national award given by the Tall Tales Association for telling a yarn in which he referred to his car “Bessie” as having surpassed the speed of 15 miles per hour. After winning this award, he made a small fortune on the sale of his car to the Museum of Natural History. Derb Halpin, the famous motorcyclist known as “Dare Devil Derb,” is now featured in the obstacle races at Madison Square Gar- den. He certainly has come a long way since he met his first obstacle—our high school’s gymnasium door. The Enfield Echo 11 While strolling down Main Street recently, I stopped at the corner to listen to the harmony of the Salvation Army Band. I suppose you all remember those two kings of swing, “irresistible Ray Tanguay and “honest” Herb Davidson, whose musical abilities had been well known in high school. After listening awhile to this band, I discovered that the omm-pa-pa of the tuba was made by Herb, and situated at the end of a clarinet was Ray. These two generous musicians had devoted all their musical abilities to charity. Say, Chick, What have you to report about your former class- mates ? Part II (By Charles Alaimo) As I stepped from the train that brought me to Enfield, I hardly recognized the town because it had grown so in the last ten years. The first building that attracted my attention was The En- field Empire Building which would catch anyone’s attention as it is the tallest structure in the world, with its 1,773 stories. This was the first place I visited. When the door of the elevator opened I saw Josephine Casiello seated on a velvet, cushioned throne. Notic- ing my astonishment, Jo explained that she was a member of the U. E. 0., United Elevators Operators. She added, “We owe it all to our president, Delores Conley, without whose enterprise we would still be forced to use wooden stools.” Upon the 750th floor I went to the office of Dentist Nathalie Nuccio. While waiting for Nathalie, I picked up a magazine, “The Enfielder,” of which Irene Baronian is editor and Helen Javorski is social editor. On the cover was a pin-up pose of Jean Cygan, famous New York model. Thumbing through the pages I saw a picture of Wanda Mastalisz being crowned “Miss America of 1956.” In the sports section was a column written about Tommy Mailloux who has been appointed head coach of Notre Dame. Theresa Sredizinski, receptionist, led me into the main office and Nathalie then told me that Theresa sings Latin songs to calm the patients. After leaving the office I came to a door which read, “Barbara Noll, Detective.” Upon entering I learned that Bobby is the world’s greatest woman detective. When I asked her to what she attributes her success, she promptly replied, “I guess I just have an instinct about men.” To date she has captured 1,485 men and one woman criminal. On the next floor I visited Teddy Soltys, who was referred to as Boss Soltys by his secretary, Theresa Annis. His political ma- chine is the biggest and best in the history of Enfield. While smok- ing a cigar, Teddy informed me that Dorothy Bridge, famous novelist, had just won the Pulwitzer Prize for her latest best seller, “A Bridge Is Built in Hazardville.” Claire Kingsbury’s portrait of the year, “Scitico,” will be placed in the State Capitol.' 12 The Enfield Echo Teddy asked his assistant, Jackie Leether to bring me on a tour of the city. While driving to the Supreme Court we turned on the radio and heard Lorraine Gagne’s program. After arriving at the court house, Donald O’Brien, the clerk, announced in his cool, clear voice, “The Honorable Bernard Thomas Santanella, Jr., Presiding Judge.” After Jack pointed out the District Attorney, the terror of criminals, Betty McCullough and the Defense At- torney, Marian M. Miller, we spent an enjoyable afternoon listen- ing to the attorneys arguing in their soft, sweet voices. Our next stop was the Enfield General Hospital. There we witnessed an operation by the brilliant brain specialist, Catherine Alaimo, who was assisted by Doctors Margaret and Magdalena Kertenis. In this hospital tour we met laboratory technician Ida Porcello and Dietician Helen Zych. For that evening Jack suggested the hit concert of the year, which was written and played by Rosalie Colca. After hearing this we went to the circus and strolled in during the lion-tamer’s act. There in a cage were twenty ferocious lions backing away from the fearless lion-tamer, Mary Chapell. While at the circus I met Sam Russotto, well-known Wall Street broker, and Josephine Bruno the first congresswoman from Enfield. Part III (By Ramona Figurato) Not only has our town changed, but the very Enfieldites we graduated with have also. For instance, I never dreamed that the seemingly shy Frank Severino would some day become musical- ly inclined; but now he’s in Hollywood giving Frank Sinatra plenty of stiff competition. He had been an undertaker with Frank Sarno before Herby Leach, the talent scout for M-G-M discovered him. And speaking of Hollywood, our former classmate, who’s known as Hildagarbo Thoben, has just won the academy award for her excellent performance opposite Boris Karloff in “I Walked With a Zombie.” I understand Hildagarbo is working on her autobi- ography which she has cunningly named “Silence Is Golden.” Meanwhile Eva Basile is doing a fine job of doubling for Cass Daley. While in New York recently to confer with the publishers of my newest novel, “Moni Is the Root of All Evil,” I was invited to a dinner party given by Countess Evelyn Zawistowski Smith, the renowned Scititocian founder of the Zawistowski Institute for the better treatment of male animals. Upon arriving I discovered that many of the guests were among my former high school as- sociates. There was Mary Patti who had made a fortune in the “Patti-cake” makeup business, and the Cancemi Twins who had also prospered in the cosmetic profession. Among the other so- The Enfield Echo 13 cialites were Irene Noratovich, talented composer-pianist, and Lor- raine Lyons, commentator on the “Sense of Rumor” program. The place was literally swimming with foreign diplomats, and I paid particular notice to two with decidedly Russian accents. These turned out to be James J. Jacksonkovick, Jr., and Richard Viningski who had been defeated on the Republican ticket in the U. S. as congressmen. They were now planning to run on the Re- publican ticket in Russia against Joe Stalin. My astonishment with the Russian diplomats was short-lived, however, for something over my head prompted me to look up. There in majestic form swaying to and fro on the chandelier was Claire Croteau who was in the pursuit of a rare specimen moth for her world famous bug collection. Claire had been in the house wrecking business with Chris Carenza before she turned to this profession. Recently Eileen Szydlowski of the Enfield Bugs Museum offered her $10,000 for a special type of mosquito. Before more time had lapsed, Marilyn “Scoop” Anderson of the “New York Moon” called me up to inform me that Bob Pare had just won the heavyweight title from Billy Conn. She told me also that Billy Edgar was now the star pitcher for the Rhode Island Reds. After conversing with Scoop, I returned to the party and to Jack Gorman, the Broadway producer, who explained to me all the tricks of show business. He had been working on a new play “Butcher Beast” in which he will star “Candy-boy” Fuge. In the middle of the evening, Jimmy Richards arrived. Farm- er Richards won the award for the farmer most likely to succeed after he concocted the odorless, tasteless, colorless chewing tobacco. When I asked him where he got his purple and green plaid suit, he said it was custom made by Sam Trapanesse, the famous 5th Street Tailor. Since time was steadily passing, I bade the party farewell. Upon arriving at Enfield last night, I went up to dine at Irene Piotrowski’s “Unholy Five Club,” situated at the former site of the Enfield Inn. After relating that Sissy Tanguay had given up her job as life-guard at the Memorial Park Wading Pool, she added that Sis was now in the radio-magazine business. Ever since the Lone Ranger retired in 1950, Sissy has taken over his place as “Wonder Woman of the Airwaves.” Irene, otherwise known as the Unholy Fifth, went on to say that Bob Cummings had become snorts editor of the “Sports Weekly” magazine, and that Bernice Lehman had been chosen the first woman fire chief of Enfield. After many of Enfield High’s faculty were promoted to Scitico Junior College, some of our former classmates came to fill in. Head of the Commercial Law Department is Statia Wenc; the new book- keeping instructor is Josephine Korona. It’s evident by observing what our former classmates have been doing that times have changed and people have changed with them. 14 The Enfield Echo Part IV (By Robert Cummings) Yes, times have changed, for I noticed that Charles Alaimo is a candidate for governor of Conservative Connecticut on a radical- socialist ticket. According to his campaign manager, Dick Shields, it’s just a matter of counting the votes, which of course, will be supervised by the state voting commissioners, Paul Bellinger and Malcolm Wood. However, his election is strongly opposed by such famous peo- ple as Ramona Figurato and Charles Johnson. Miss Figurato in- sists in her daily column, that it is time for a woman governor and that Elinor MacGovern, a prominent woman in public affairs, should be elected. An influential and independent farmer, Mr. Johnson is another of Alaimo’s foremost opposers. Surprising news came from the sports world when Frank Grajewski and John Pastermelo, the most consistent double play combination in organized baseball announced their resignation in order to create a woman’s baseball league. They also announced that they will employ such women talent scouts as Lorraine Bailar- geon and Sadie Chmielewski. These scouts have already signed up numerous stars, including Barbara Thompson, southpaw pitch- er, Marian Crafts, crack infielder, and Ruth Lynch, home-run queen. Former All-American end, Leo Porcello is now coaching at Mildew University, having already been mentioned for the coach of the year award by virtue of his outstanding performance at the college. Pauline Turgeon and Dorothy Oates, gossip editors of the Sunshine Press, are being sued by Marie Binnenkade, well-known banker. Miss Binnenkade, according to her confidential secretary, Mary Romano, was perturbed when she was referred to as having a reddish tint in her hair. In the world of excitement, Donald Hartley has announced that he has secured financial backing for his crash carnival from Nellie Kamay who has prospered in the unique profession of quiet- ing famous people’s nerves. This money will enable Mr. Hartley to purchase the services of Anthony Dedonis and Roland Gagne, well-known midget auto racers. William Mahon, reserved night club owner, has just announced the opening of a new club which will be under the management of Helen Novak and Eleanor Polek. They have just returned the Diamond Horse Shoe to Billy Rose, intrusted to them until they could put it back on a paying basis. This they did in a remarkably short time, merely by adding to the program, Helen O’Brien and Jean Humphries, well-known ballard-singers. Their gowns are designed by the exclusive Park Avenue dress creators, Janet Sanger and Madelyn Hayden.

With the reunion over and our purpose completed, we agreed that ten years ago we made a comparatively accurate sur- misal of what the future held for our classmates. 16 The Enfield Echo Claire Croteau..............,.Rattle Claire is one of those silent girls Who seldom makes a sound.

Underclassmen: During the past three years we have striven diligently to set up and illustrate those standards of grace and poise that most of you, especially the Juniors, consistently refuse to acquire. While we Seniors have been lending an academic air to Enfield, you un- derclassmen have been disporting yourselves as children at an ice- cream party. Where we have been dignified and discreet, you have been frivolous and foolish. Thus it behooves me, on behalf of the class of 1946, to make one final attempt to salvage what little good may exist among you. First I appeal to the Freshmen, the incoming Sophomores as of September, to put away your childish things, to forget the loutish manners of the Juniors and to kneel in reverence before the shrine of Room 26 whereby you may be inspired by the spirit of the Class of 1946. Recall that whenever you attended the assemblies that it was the Seniors who lent a majestic air, and a decorous atmosphere to the occasion. Recall, if you will, the eclat with which the Sen- iors participated in the school play, on the field of sport, and in the ballroom. Emulate these Seniors of 1946 so that you, the Seniors of 1949 can say three years hence, “We had the best of precursors.” Sophomores! Sagacious Sophomores as we once heard you called! But why? We have seen but little of the wisdom which you have professed. Could it be that you are following the foot- steps of the Juniors? Sophomores, you have been in close rela- tionship with the Class of 1946 for one year and in that time you should have learned not to race down the stairs to the lunch room, not to chew gum with great facial animation, and not to shoot wet spit balls at imaginary enemy planes, thus scoring direct hits on the backs of the Juniors’ heads. No, these juvenile pranks are not for the sister class of 1946. We’ve noticed though, that there is a predilection among the boys in your class for athletics. This is fine and we can justify our pride in you for you have seen the wis- dom of imitating your superiors. Now for the “Jittery Juniors”! If prophecy is based upon history, 0, what a sad fate awaits Enfield! To all the faults of the two lower classes you have added some quite original ones. The easiest way to identify a Junior is for one to sit out in the school yard, at a safe distance, and preferably behind a tank trap. If The Enfield Echo 51 someone comes driving a heap of scrap iron, loaded with wildly yelling nondescript juveniles, then that one is a junior with a newly acquired license. Now then, don’t you think it would be wise to drop all pretense of the showy, the gaudy, and the frivolous? In the few remaining moments of association with us observe the dignity of our class and then vow to say to yourselves each day during the summer vacation, “I will try to be like the Seniors of 1946.” Underclassmen, and Friends: Parting from Enfield High School and from our many friends in all the classes is very difficult for us who have spent so many hours of happiness here. Thus we have assumed a tone of highly critical brusqueness towards you underclassmen, not because we think less of you, but because we feel sincere regret in leaving you. We assure you, however, that we feel we could not have left Enfield High School in finer hands. We know that you will perpetuate the glory of Enfield. RESPONSE FROM UNDERGRADUATES (By Joseph Cimino, ’47) Ladies and Gentlemen and Nostalgic Seniors: Advice, as the adage goes, is worthy of its giver. Thus I call upon you Seniors to note the words of your authorized spokesman. You would damn with faint praise the efforts and achievements of the underclassmen. You would have us to remember that we have but to follow your footsteps. This we have tried to do; but the speed of some of your members in getting down to the lunch room can come only after three years’ practice. Our Freshmen have been exhorted to pay homage to the shrine of Room 26, the erstwhile court of the Seniors. What inspiration can we hope to find there? We have lifted the desk covers and discovered that the desks were littered with empty cosmetic con- tainers, an occasional comb, a few broken mirrors and sundry pin- up pictures of movie stars. Once we found a book!! The Sophomores whom you described as sagacious will un- doubtedly profit from your advice tonight. Heretofore, they have, as a sister class to you, imitated your ways in a positive sense. To- night they have been given to understand that they were not to do as you did. For this enlightenment, I am sure, they are grateful. Speaking for my own class, the Junior, or the “Jittery Juniors” as you called them, may I say that we have looked forward to this night for three years so that we can tell you the achievements of the members of our class. We shall not name the individual stal- warts of the football team nor the stars of the baseball team. Their 52 The Enfield Echo CLASS WILL (By Frank Jakubiec) Friends, members of the faculty and avaricious underclassmen: As Attorney for the outstanding class of ’46 it is my honor and privilege to read their last will and testament. We, the class of 1946, being of exceptionally sound and brilliant mind, do hereby publish and make known our last will and testa- ments, declaring null and void all previous wills, testaments, and instruments, bequeathing the property here-in-after described to its stated receivers. ITEM—To the school we leave our warm hearts, our unfeigned gratitude, and memories of four years well spent. ITEM—To Mr. Tatoian, thanks for steering us on the right path and may the faculty strive hard to produce such a class of high merits as ours. ITEM—To all you unfortunate underclassmen, we leave the names are still frqsh in your memory. Nor shall we enumerate the members of the Junior class who have played a prominent part in the social activities of the school, including the Senior Prom. We do feel constrained, however, to note that the members of the Jun- ior class are at least capable of driving a vehicle on the road, and not through such obstacles as a door. You suggested that we Juniors prepare for our Senior year by reciting daily the saying, ‘T will try to be like the Seniors of 1946.” Did you mean that we should come to school three minutes after the late bell has rung? Or that we should go dressed without neck- ties? Or that we appear at formal activities dressed in sweaters and rolled up shirt sleeves? Perish the thought; for though we have been at Enfield for three years we still have not arrived at that stage of sophistication where we consider it fashionable to appear in careless, wilfully careless, attire. Enough of this verbiage. This is the night of your crowning glory, and never let it be said that we would deprive you of your just due. Let us, rather, point out to you that we, the'underclass- men, have been aware of your achievements. We fully appreciate the sterling qualities of your character displaved by your class. We recognize the Optical honor that a member of your class brought to Enfield. We appreciate the Seniors who made up the cast of the school play, the minstrel, and the basketball team We saw their leadership and we feel rightfuly proud of them. And now, knowing that you will continue to displav that same initiative in your new endeavors, we say Good Luck and God Sneed to the Class of 1946. The Enfield Echo 53 school, fond memories of daily basketball games in Room 26, the bewitching odor oi ageing eggs emanating trom Room 25, and foot- ball games in the lower corridors. ITEM—The following bequeaths are made in good faith, hoping that they will be received in the same spirit. 1. Richard Vining leaves all his outstanding athletic ability to Joe Cimino. 2. Dot Bridge leaves her poetic ability, oratorical accom- plishments and her dignified manner to Joyce Dineen. 3. Wanda Mastalisz leaves her “perfect personality” to June Provencher. 4.

To Henry Zybura, Lincoln Fuge leaves his jokes. 12. To next years physics class James Jackson and Frank Jakubiec leave what remains of an electric motor they started to build in ’45. 13.

Marie Binninkade leaves her acting talents to Marilyn Evans. 15. Ruth Lynch leaves her attractiveness to Pat White. 16. Jean Cygan gives Westfield back to Mayor Topnotch. 17. Eleanor MacGovern bequeaths her scholastic zeal to Mary Gorman who will have to work hard to equal Eleanor’s average. 18. “Bookie” Furey leaves her reserved manner and fasti- diousness to Jean Fields. 19. “Shorty” Mailloux leaves his 6 ft., 4 in. to Pete Bridge. 20. To the school records, the class of ’46 leaves many fine pages of accomplishments in sports, scholastic ability, numerous other school activities, and a mountain of excuses I am sure will never be equaled. 21. To the “I make them go boy,” Mr. McLaren, we leave the Boilers. 54 The Enfield Echo 22. To Mr. Lyon’s next year’s class we leave you assignments galore, Happy “homework.” 23. To next year’s basketball team we leave a victory over “Suffield.” Try and beat it. 24. To Mr. Nigro we leave a stop watch that he used trying to time J. Richards, L. Fuge, F. Jakubiec, R. Cummings, D. Vining coming downstairs. 25. Sammy Russotto, the Crooner, gives his deep voice back to the fog horn. 26. To the Juniors we leave all the gum deposited under chairs, to the Sophomores what they find under desks, and to the Freshmen all they find on walks. 27. And now, we the graduating class of ’46 leave. Whereof in witness I have hereunto set my hand and seal in this city of Thompsonville, Connecticut, on this twentieth day of June in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and forty-six.
