We may have encountered hardships and headaches during these years, but we can say truthfully that our activities, scholastic and extra-curricular, and the friendships we have made have done much to boost our morale and leave with us a lasting, happy remembrance of Enfield. It is at this time that we shall separate and take our many different roads to success. Whatever by-way we take, we shall always know that our days at Enfield, with their ups and downs, their happiness and grief, were bringing us closer to our life's goal. Because of the cooperation and guidance of our parents and instructors, we are now better able to meet the trials, tribulations, victories and defeats that lie before us. In future years it will be my pleasure to look back to this year book to recall our happy days together and to point out the members of our class who will be practicing the ideals of Enfield in their everyday lives. May god watch over us and may our future years be as happy as our days together at Enfield have been. Sincerely, Anthony Secondo. 8 CLASS OFFICERS Lola Charles Kamaros Secretary 9 Thomas M.

President Tony Secondo steps onto the platform and looks at the crowd. Among them, he sees the familiar faces of his class mates. After President Secondo, who is running for re-election, delivers a short message, the crowd disbands and we, his friends rush to welcome him. This day, June 17, 1964, is really a momentous day. It is the day of our class reunion, and we shall be honored with the president's attendance. He will be astonished when he hears of all the changes which have occurred in Thompson- ville since that memorable day 15 years ago when we were graduated from Enfield High School. He will be proud of his class when he hears about our many new industries. The newest enterprise is the establishment of Secretaries, Inc. President Charlotte Arnone, Vice-President Marilyn Doreski and Treasurer Rita Dighello predict a very successful future. They have a new angle—they supply their clients with the kind of angles the latter desire. The four charming misses employed by this firm are Miss FiFi” Fiore, who incidentally, is the fastest worker. Miss Kay Porcello, Miss Bubbles’’ Vetro, and Miss Eleanor Misuraca. This agency serves many prominent business people, namely Frank Korona, Marie Alaimo, and Shirley Craig; president, vice-president, and treasurer, respectively, of Quicksilver” Roller Skates. Frank, Marie, and Shirley praise this agency highly. They have recommended it to many of their business associates. Scientists Raymond Castoldi and Edward Ambrosini have discovered a new element. They have named it prudentium in honor of their employer Prudence Porcello. Prudentium is something that will be of great aid to school students. When administered in small quantities it gives great wisdom. Because of the ever-growing population, the tow'n of Enfield had to build a new high school. The construction was handled by Matthew Soltys, now an architect. The faculty of the school has also increased. Roseline Marut teaches a subject which can be found in no other school. Miss Marut’s course is called Howr To Do the Wrong Thing Right. According to Prin- cipal John Bridge, the course is so successful that the students have, for example, persuaded teachers that skipping classes merits an A-f. Lola Kamaros, another new faculty member, also has a different class. She prepares the students for Mr. Staszko’s Driving Instruction. Miss Kamaros teaches such things as which way is right or left. Rose Graci, graduate nurse, and Marilyn Motyka, secretary, discovered that Thompsonville does not offer many oppor- tunities for adventurous souls such as they. Therefore, Rose and Marilyn are now' working in South America. Rose is the superintendent of nurses in a hospital where the patients are former athletes; while Marilyn is her personal secretary. In correspondence to Helen Chmielewski and Vicky Ziem- nicki, the girls urged the latter to open one of their model agencies there. Vicky and Helen have agencies all over the nation, and this establishment would in all probability im- prove international relations. Dominick Zacaro, following in the footsteps of his father, is now a grocer. Gus Pappas is his store manager. Dom, who always was a sporty fellow has built a new super market near the A P. Because of the rivalry, prices went lower and lower. Finally Ronald Creelman, manager of the A P, and Dom signed a treaty. Everything is working out wonderfully now. A new' scientific center has been established in our up and coming metropolis. It is owned by Ronald Stewart and June Packer. Two of the laboratory technicians are Dorothy Schlaick and Jean Shields. John Cimino, Bob Smyth, and Eugene Pietrowski have finally reached an agreement on how cows should be raised, and have joined together in a corporation diary. They all have private secretaries—Mildred Gal linger, Joan Starr, and Vera King. John Westburg has opened a new' dine-and-dance restaurant of his own. The music is provided by Tommy Parakilas and Joe Gaetani, The Magic Fingers of the Piano. John also has Norma Sheridan as his singer, and she helps to draw large crowds. John's Sunday night attraction is pianist Lela Keery. Jimmy Flynn has also started a butcher business of his own. I hear Barbara Westburg is the head cashier. Joan Reinhardt and Pat Hue are operating a dress shoppe in which they sell red flannels to the poor people of the Sahara Desert. Lola DeCaro is now' top hair dresser in Hollywood and has a very prosperous business. Her competent assistant is Cath- erine Hayden. Speaking of Hollywood, Jim Dineen and Jack Rook are Hollywood's chief comedians. They are putting Bob Hope and Bing Crosby out of business, especially with their rendi- tion of My Gal’s Got the Honolulu Wiggle. Claire Provencher is now- starring at the Roxy Theater in a very popular play, Life With Clarence. Keeping the boys of Enfield in top notch condition is Coach Bomber Wenc. Joe Nuccio has now- taken Ted Williams place, and is now playing left field for the Boston Red Sox. At the same time Joe Cammilleri is with the New York Yankees farm team trying hard to replace Joe DiMaggio. Robert Jackson is now running the Bigelow Sanford Carpet Company and is so busy he needs two secretaries, Joan McCray and Joanne Chickosky. Elvira Puleri and Sadie Distazio have just become official instructors at Riverside Park Rollaway. Classes are open to boys only! Claude Brodeur has w-on nationwide acclaim for his famous orations, compiled in a book, published by Alfred Avery. A Home Laundry hgs been established by Robert Stierle. Marion Cousineau is his general manager, while Ruth Pome- roy is the head soap buyer! Tommy Richardson has just opened his new Crow’ Club. He says it will be even greater than the famous Stork Club which is still open for business. His new head waiter is Mario Nai, who can now balance two trays in one hand. For entertainment Tommy has the sweet but sizzling music of Robert Gelinas’ Orchestra, with his new singer Irene O'Don- nell. His business is rapidly increasing because of the in- triguing charms of Tommy’s three cigarette girls, Torchy” May Ellard, Charming Mary Sessa, and Wanda Wiggles” Panek. Robert Hawthorne has just been elected mayor of Hazard- ville. Some of his cabinet members are Francis Legienza, Herbert Butler, and Edwin Buczkowski. He has three private secretaries, Gertrude Barnes, Kathleen Albano, and Margaret Labis. Hawthorne always was a woman hater. According to the newspapers Billy Michaels has again been elected America’s best dressed man. This is his fifth consecutive year. Raymond Halak is now a travelling in gay Paree. He travels from door to door in his new Buick. He thinks a Buick is more reserved than a Cadillac or a Lincoln. The agency of Powers Models in New York has been changed to the Richard Leary Models. His prize models are Cynthia Blomquist and Sarah Jane Child. Leo Bucwinski and Andrew Siana have just received their their eviction notice from Connecticut U. dormitory. Their motto is If at first you don’t succeed, try until you're kicked out. Mr. Nigro’s Shining Star, Audrey Young has opened a dramatic school. The school was built by brick mason Nick Petronella. Among her puipls have been Kay” Rus- sotto, Helen Juniewicz, Francis Jucius, and her one and only male student, Robert Davis. Novelist Laura Selmack is seeking an opening with pub- lisher Marjorie Allen in the hopes of having her latest book, The Secrets of a Journalist. Lillian Pease, Peggy McBride, and Fanny Kasperzak are modeling clothes for Albert Edgar’s Department Store. Janet Palmieri is his reliable bookkeeper. Raymond Croteau has become champion bowler in the New England League. He is planning to enter the national contest. His runner-up is Stanley Such. June Jarvis is selling insurance for the Hope You Live Long Insurance Company,” owned by Ernest Arnold. Mary Gnapp has attained great fame and fortune. She is now a United States diplomat in Argentina. Since Tony’s train is due any minute now, every one is preparing to journey to the station where we will bid him farewell.

Like all former loyal sons and daughters, our class enthusiastically carried on the traditions which are so dear to all the students. Moreover, the following record of events testifies that, during this four year period, new’ activities were inaugurated and a new athletic record was achieved by our classmates. It is thrilling for me to make this official contribution to be added to the written history of this school. The first big event of our high school career w'as the Senior-Freshman Reception where we were cordially wel- comed to Enfield. Then came the election of officers. Tony Secondo w'as elected President with Edward Reale, Vice-President; Rose Graci, Secretary; and James Dineen, Treasurer. In January we received with regret the announcement that our principal, Mr. Frank J. Hassett, was to leave Enfield to take a position as superintendent of the schools of Woburn, Mass. In his place, the school board appointed one of our faculty, Mr. Harry A. Tatoian. His faithful guidance has led our class on through to graduation. After the three months of our vacation were over, we entered Enfield with a surge of hope for now we were Sophomores. Our class officers were Tony Secondo, again President; Lola Kamaros, Vice-President; James Flynn, Secretary; and Carmen Scalia, Treasurer. The play, George Washington Slept Here,” took place and Barbara Westberg, John Bridge, Claude Brodeur, Peggy McBride and Marilyn Motyka participated. The annual minstrel, Spring Time Revue,” was the next highlight in w'hich the Sophomores offered Norma Sheridan, Mildred Gal linger, Dorothy Schlaick and Lola Kamaros as soloists. As Juniors w’e again elected officers for our class. For a third time Tony Secondo was President, with Joe Gaetani, Vice-President; Helen Chmielewski, Secretary; and Tommy Parakilas, Treasurer. The leading role in the school play, A Date With Judy, was held by Roseline Marut. Other Juniors in the play were Mae Ellard, Claude Brodeur, Tommy Richardson, and John Bridge. The high spot of the year was the Junior Prom Daisy Chain” with our charming hostess, Barbara Westberg, and handsome host, James Flynn. The Hi-Y Minstrel, Show Boat,” under the direction of Mr. Tatoian, featured Norma Sheridan and Sarah Jane Child as soloists, Kay Russotto and May Ellard, ends and Tommy Parakilas in the skits. Other Juniors were members of the chorus. Lovely Mary Fiore and charming Tony Secondo were the host and hostess for the Farewell Prom. Finally, on September 8, 1948, the long awaited day arrived. We were Seniors. The first event of the year was the Senior-Freshman Recep- tion which revealed talent in both classes. Senior talent in- cluded Norma Sheridan and Mildred Gallinger as soloists, Gnapp and Robert Gelinas who played trumpet selections. Comedy was provided by Ronald Creelman, Claude Brodeur, Pat Hue, Joan Reinhardt, Claire Provencher, Lola DeCaro, and Irene O’Donnell. A Bit of Friendly Advice was given by Mary Gnapp. Elections for class officers of our final year were held and Tony Secondo was elected President for the fourth time with Tommy Parakilas, Vice-President; Lola Kamaros, Secretary, and Edwin Wenc, Treasurer. In November the play, Life With Father,” was presented. Seniors having part were Claire Provencher, John Bridge, Tommy Richardson, Marilyn Motyka, Lola Kamaros, Kay Russotto, and Helen Juniewicz. Business Manager was Claude Brodeur. John Cimino and Mildred Gallinger were host and hostess for our Senior Prom, Christmas Candle Prom. Lola Kamaros was the choice of the class for the annual good citizenship prize of Penelope Terry Abbe Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. In January, Claude Brodeur won the Legion Oratorical Contest for the school. In further competition, he captured top honors in the regional and county contests. Congratulations were warmly extended to Claude for bringing this honor to the class. Throughout the Junior and Senior years, the Junior Town Meeting of the Air and the Parade of Youth Forum were broadcasted. Debaters included Claude Brodeur, Roseline Marut and Claire Provencher. For the first time in the history of the school, Enfield had an undefeated football team. A large part of the success is due to the Senior football players, Captain James Flynn, Bomber Wenc, Joe Nuccio, Tony Secondo, Gus Westberg, Joe Gaetani, Tommy Parakilas, Bob Smyth, Jim Dineen, John Cimino and Jack Rook. The athletic prowess of our class was further demonstrated on the basketball court by Wenc, Nuccio, Cammilleri, and Dineen; on the baseball diamond by Dineen, Secondo, Nuccio, Nai, and Cammilleri and on the track by Parakilas, Secondo, Dineen and Nuccio. The spirit of Enfield rose to greater heights during our Senior Year with the formation of a new organization, the Pep Club. This group of enthusiastic students followed all our athletic contests. The pep for our games was paced by Helen Chmielewski, captain of the cheerleaders who was ably supported by Seniors Mary Vetro and Pat Hue. New plans were made for the Washington trip. This year an overnight boat ride to Richmond, Va., was added to the regular itinerary. It proved to be a most enjoyable innovation. With graduation, the Class of 1949 participates in its last event. We trust that future classes will continue to make history for Enfield in the same spirit and enthusiasm main- tained by our class. We resolve that in our individual future endeavors we shall carry out the basic principles for successful democratic living taught us during the past four years and thereby bring fame and glory to our deeply beloved Alma Mater. 44 CHEERLEADERS DELEGATE ASSEMBLY 45 COACH ANGELICA CAPTAIN FLYNN BASKETBALL — FIRST TEAM 47 BASKETBALL TEAM BASEBALL TEAM 48 CLASS WILL Friends, Members of the Faculty, and Bereaved Underclassmen: As attorney for the honorable Class of 1949, it is my duty and privilege to read their last will and testa- ment.
