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-
