The Enfield Echo 11 of the city and we learned that it had been founded by Mary Parakilas, who had so generously given her time to the up-keep of our own little youth center during our high school days. With one glance, we realized that our fuel indicator showed we were running low on atoms, so with all the information we had gathered about our former classmates, we headed straight for the nearest airfield where I met one of my former classmates, Johnny Brigada. Let’s hear what you know about our old school- mates. While I was waiting for my plane to takeoff, I met, to my surprise, Peter Bridge, who was a drummer for the Flat Footer’s Band. He told me of an unfortunate accident he had had; he nearly drummed himself to death and Leon Falkowski, anxious for business for his funeral home in Scitico, rushed to the scene. He left me this newspaper, in which 1 found a great deal about our former class-mates. In the classified section, I found some advertisements from Dominick CardaropolV s used car service under the management of Dominick Lepore. The ad read, “You wreck them; we buy them.” Turning to my favorite page which is the sports section, I noticed a picture of the head-backfield coach, Joe Cimino, of the Boston Yanks, giving his final instructions to his two backfield stars, Michael Sperrazza, and Edivard Krajewski, before the Boston Yank—Green Packer’s Game. Continuing to read the Sports Page, I noticed in bold print that Raymond Pohorylo, once great star center for Holy Cross, will referee the Enfield College Panther’s Game. Skipping lightly through the funnies, I came to some interest- ing news items on Page 2. James Pumiglia, famous artist won first prize with his painting—“The Banana Peel” in the Kenneth Provencher painting contest. In the Thompsonville section, I noticed an item which said that Dominick Mangini, well-known plumber, became the father of a ten-pound bouncing baby, announced by Lena Puma, head nurse of the Springfield Hospital. Right on the front page, there was a picture of 25 girls com- peting for the National Typing Championship. I was surprised to see three of these girls were former school-mates of mine. They were Theresa Cicoria, Ann Frangiamore, Elvira Albano. Well, Marilyn and Helen, that’s all I can tell you from gazing over the paper. Maybe your Who’s Who Column could help us out further. In assembling the material for the 1957 Who’s Who, we came across some information that might interest you regarding the members of our class that have not already been mentioned. New York. Ralph Fiore, the famous radio announcer for the Swishy Dishy Dust Pan Co., has gone to Hollywood to make a movie called

The Enfield Echo 13 Hackensack.

She is assisted by two capable receptionists, Anna D’Addabbo and Effie Pappas. Hartford. Alice Malides has certainly gone places in the last few years. From a minor position as office clerk, Alice has advanced to the position of private secretary to the Governor. New York. That new poem that everyone is raving about was written by Margaret Slanetz. Yes, Margaret wrote “The Autumn Leaves Fell With A Resounding Crash.” She said her inspiration came from watching the leaves fall from the trees. Maybe she meant horsechestnuts. Speaking of authors, maybe Novelist Kenny Provencher can give us some information on a few of the members of our class from whom we have not heard. Trying to get material for a novel which will be called “En- field’s Children Today,” I decided to take a trip around the country to see what had become of some of my former classmates. My first stop was the Tipsy Topy circus. Upon entering the Big Top, I noticed a large crowd gathered together. As I moved closer I found that their attention was focused on Anthony Zvirblis (Enfield’s own superman) who was in the act of lifting a 600 lb. weight oyer his head with one hand. While watching this spec- tacular sight with amazement, I bumped into Maurice Griffin, that famous game hunter, who informed me that he spends six months of each year in the African Jungles capturing wild animals for this, the greatest show on earth. While conversing with Maurice, my thoughts were interrupted by a loud crash. This crash, I was informed by Maurice, came from the crash grounds where Chick Graham, Enfield’s super-duper daredevil, had just completed his terrifying leap of death. After I had finished my very interesting tour of the Big Top, I once again climbed into the super rocket ship, which incidentally, belongs to the Atomic Rocket Co., owned and operated by Francis Mistretta. While flying over one of the higher peaks, I noticed a huge observatory which is owned by Francis Barilla, that noted scien-
