John Allen.......................Tie For John we have this flashy tie To hang below his face. It’ll surely make the girls all sigh, And put up quite a chase. Frances Ambrosini............Thimble Franny sews most all her clothes With fingers which are nimble. Her dressees all have pretty bows, With her we leave this thimble.

Irving Arrowsmith...............Record Irving has a wonderful voice! Sounds just like A1 Jolson. Here’s a record of our choice To add to the commotion.

Ralph Birkenshaw.........Pin Up Girl Birkey likes the women, But work to him is a bore. tist and physicist who, as I had read previously, was working on the further development of atomic energy. Deciding to pay Frank a call, I was greeted at the door by Frank’s charming secretary, Thelma Puleri, who informed me that Frank was in the middle of a great discovery and could not be interrupted just then. While waiting patiently, I turned on my portable radio and was just in time to hear my favorite program “The Rythm Hour” which starred Irving Arrowsmith, Enfield’s own A1 Jolson, and featured Ernie Scavotto and his jazz band. The guests on the program were John LeBel with his magic violin and Al McBride, famed Broadway dancer. The program was sponsored by the Donald Mullen Son Dairy. After 1 had finished my interesting discussion with Frank, I journeyed down to the village and had my suit cleaned and pressed by the Robert Harrison Cleaning Establishment where 1 found that Betty Arnold is employed as head clerk. Feeling much fresher and neater I once again boarded the rocket and headed for home, having acquired much information for my new book.

The Enfield Echo 13 Hackensack. Bernice Maylott, well-known photographer for the Hacken- sack Chronicle, was the first to arrive for the opening of the Teen- Age Dress Shoppe, owned and operated by Barbara Reinhardt. Barbara was recently chosen as one of the ten best-dressed women in the country. Hollywood. Diane Thompson is the new chief hair stylist for the new movie studio in Hollywood. Some of Diane’s creations are dreams. Hartford. Jenny Porcello has recently been appointed personnel mana- ger of the Sweep-Clean Broom Company. 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-
