THE ENFIELD ECHO 1954 Enfield High School Thompsonville, Conn. MARTHA WADSWORTH EDDY DEDICATION To Mrs. Martha Wadsworth Eddy, in appreciation of her faithful and ceaseless devotion throughout her years at Enfield High School. She has always worked towards the fulfillment of her one ideal — the educa- tion of Enfield students to become well-informed citi- zens, able to meet the challenges of tomorrow. This guiding principle and her many unselfish sacrifices have been directed towards upholding her ideal. Because of her devotion, service, and sacrifices, she has endeared herself in the hearts of every Senior. It is therefore fitting that we, the Class of 1954, dedicate our yearbook to her who has dedicated her life to our betterment. OUR APPRECIATION. 4 REGINA M. BROUILLETTE EDITOR’S MESSAGE The 1954 Echo staff has chosen for the 54 an- nual this theme which is given so accurately in the words of the great English poet Alfred Tennyson, I expect to pass through this life but once. If, therefore, there is any kindness I can show, or any good I can do to any fellow-being, let me do it now for I shall not pass this way again. Contained within these pages is a summary of our growth up to the present time. It is impossible to place down with pen and ink all the incidents which we experienced while we grew together. But, through this book we shall attempt to illuminate all those many hours filled with both hu- morous and serious moments that we already find pleasure in recalling. Not only do we wish this book to preserve our cherished schoolday memories, but we sincerely wish it to express our appreciation to those who have made it possible for us to complete four years of high school. We should also like to express our appreciation to those who have made us fully aware of the great chal- lenges that lie before us.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE We shall pass this way but once, but we have utilized our time under the guidance of the faculty, so that we shall be well prepared to meet future citizen- ship. Our four years of scholastic endeavor have been richer by the companionship of our teachers and our many friends. Here we have been broadened socially and mentally for more enjoyable and richer lives. What the future holds for us we cannot say, but whatever our goals may be, the principles of integrity taught us at Enfield will insure us success as good Ameri- cans and thinking citizens in our community. Carry forth this truth and knowledge; use it; and may God bless each and every member of the Class of 1954. 12 OUR LEADER SPEAKS FOR US Ronald Michael Alaimo October 10, 1935 Thompsonville Junior Varsity 1; Metal Craft Club 1; Sportsmen’s Club 2; Play Cast 4.

The Golden Age of Enfield High, dawned on Sep- tember 5, 1950, when the Class of 1954 entered this great institu- tion of learning. Although we timid Freshmen stood in awe before the mighty Seniors, the following record shows that we successfully fulfilled our duties and responsibilities. During our four years at Enfield High we loyally upheld the traditions of the school, set new records in football and basketball, and maintained the scholastic achievements of the past. Here is a detailed account of the activities of the Class of 1954 that make it worthy of taking its place in the written history of the school. As Freshmen, we first showed our talent at the annual Senior- Freshman Reception held in November. Although the Seniors cordially welcomed us with fine entertainment and refreshments, we F eshmen, with James McBride as our Master of Ceremonies, contributed much to the program.. In the same month Class Elections were held and we were introduced to the voting machines. Elected were President, James McBride; Vice-President, Florence Richardson; Secretary, Jane Hart- ley; Treasurer, Victor Falkowski; and Historian, Carolyn Bascom. One member of our class, Peter Moschetti, made the varsity football team. This was a great achievement for a Freshman. The annual school play, Mother Is a Freshman , was held in April, 1951, with James McBride contributing his acting ability. Our freshman year quickly passed, and on June 15, we began our vacation. We re-entered Enfield High with renewed energy as Sopho- mores on September 7, 1951. Class Officers were elected in the fall with James McBride again as President; Forrest Smith, Vice-Presi- dent; Irene Orcinoli, Secretary; and Victor Falkowski, Treasurer. The Sophomore members of the annual school play, Our Miss Brooks , were James McBride, the veteran actor, and Jay Har- rison, Mary Nigro, Alan Frey, and Forrest Smith, the promising thespians. The star Sophomore basketball players of that season were Mario Dei Dolori, Pete Moschetti, and Jerry Distatfo, with Forrest Smith as the able and competent manager. In May, 1952, the Pro Merito Society was organized at Enfield High for the purpose of rewarding those students who had and continued to maintain an average of 85% or more. Twenty-nine students of the Sophomore Class were members of this group. Another happy school year came to an end on June 19, 1952. When classes were resumed in September, we were Juniors, start- ing on the second half of our high school career with the following officers: President, Forrest Smith; Vice-President, Rosario Vella; Secretary, Elizabeth Gardner; and Treasurer, Victor Falkowski. Starring on the gridiron that fall were Jack Salamon, Nick Longo, Gerry Hannifin, James Maniscalchi, Rosario Vella, John Maciolek, Chick Cammilleri, and Mario Dei Dolori. Their ex- cellence on the field contributed much to our finishing runner-up in the Pioneer Valley League. Our basketball team, aided by Juniors Pete Moschetti, Eddie Lajoie, Jerry Distazio, and Mario Dei Dolori, also concluded the season in second place in the Valley Wheel. Because of its fine record the team was invited to join the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Association. The Juniors' first attempt at raising money was a Food Sale held on February 6, 1953, with Forrest Smith as general chairman. This venture proved financially successful. Brother Goose”, the annual school play, took place on Febru- ary 12, 1953, with Forrest Smith and James McBride as Junior stars, and Robert Biggins as Business Manager. The Enfield Hi-Y sent Forrest Smith, president of our class, as delegate to the Connecticut Youth and Government Assembly held in March. On April 9, all Latin students participated in the National Latin Contest. Juniors receiving high scores in this contest were Carlton Damonte, Mary Nigro, Forrest Smith, and Carolyn Bascom. These scholastic achievements won a trophy for Mrs. Eddy and our school. The social highlight of our Junior year was our Prom, Over the Rainbow”, with the attractive couple, James McBride and Dorothy Holton, as our host and hostess. A new activity. Student Government Day, was inaugurated at Enfield High School on May 26, 1953, for the purpose of acquaint- ing us with the functions of the various public offices in the town. Juniors acting as town officials were James McBride as Police Chief and Rosario Vella as Superintendent of Schools. During May, Helen Krupczak and Mary Nigro earned the distinction of being selected to attend Laurel Girls' State, and For- rest Smith and Mario Dei Dolori, to represent Enfield at Nutmeg Boys' State. The Farewell Prom with Mario Dei Dolori and Annamae Frangiamorc as host and hostess brought our third year to an end. September 9, 1953, marked the beginning of the final year of our high school career. We were now Seniors. On opening day we welcomed three new members to our class — Susan Deni from New York, Barbara Parker from Massa- chusetts, and Beverly Carpenter from Maryland. In October we elected our Class Officers with Forrest Smith as President, Rosario Vella as Vice-President, Beverly Carpenter as Secretary, and Mary Lou Gardner as Treasurer. The first big activity of the year was the Senior-Freshman Reception. Guided by our chairman, Mary Nigro, and our Master of Ceremonies, Forrest Smith, our class produced excellent enter- tainment including such high spots as a chorus line, comedy skits, interpretative dancing, and vocal and instrumental selections. Mary Nigro and Forrest Smith appeared as panel members on the Parade of Youth Forum in October, discussing the topic, How Youth Can Help Promote Better Driving Habits. In the same month Mary Lou Gardner was chosen to represent our school as Second Soprano in the All-State Glee Club. Our football team, under the capable management of Arthur Girard, concluded the season undefeated and thus became the cham- pions of the Pioneer Valley League. Co-Captain Moschetti was ably supported by Dei Dolori, Lockwood, Maciolek, Lajoie, Hannifin, Salamon, Longo, Cammilleri, Maniscalchi, Vella, and Catania. The team was heartily congratulated for bringing the trophy to our school at a Victory Banquet tendered by the three local Service Clubs. The pep and enthusiasm at our games was furnished by the cheerleaders with Annamae Frangiamore and Jean Zirolli as Senior members. In November the annual school play, Mister Co-ed , was produced. Forrest Smith, James McBride, and Ronald Alaimo shared the limelight, while Thomas Clifford ably acted as Business Manager. The Yearbook Staff was elected with Regina Brouillette as Editor-in-Chief, Kathryn Zomnir as Art Editor, Irene Orcinoli as Photography Editor, Jean Pease as Advertisement Editor, and For- rest Smith as Athletic Editor. Mary Nigro was chosen by the class and faculty for the annual Good Citizenship Prize of the Penelope Terry Abbe Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Winter was highlighted in our Senior year by the Winter Wonderland Prom”. Charming Regina Brouillette and handsome Forrest Smith acted as our host and hostess. In December Forrest Smith won the Legion Oratorical Contest and became Champion Orator of Enfield High School. He later captured top honors in the regional and county contests and went on to further competitions. Congratulations were warmly extended to Forrest for bringing these honors to our class and school. On February 19, Captain Hannifin, Pete Moschetti, Howard Raymond, and Chick Lockwood, varsity members of the basketball team, brought home the second athletic championship when they won the Valley Wheel Title. Again Manager Girard handled the administrative details in an efficient manner. We Seniors made our annual trip to Washington in April, fully realizing the importance of a visit to our Nation’s Capital. Now we, the Class of 1954, approach graduation. We have reached our long-awaited goal. Although these past four years have quickly passed, we have many fond memories to carry with us. We have fulfilled our purpose as expressed in our theme — I expect to pass through this life but once. If, therefore, there is any kind- ness I can show', or any good I can do to any fellow-being, let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again.” With this theme to guide us, with the vast knowledge w-e have gained through the patience and understanding of the faculty here at Enfield High School, we believe that we are now ready to assume oyr responsible positions as worthwhile citizens of our community, state, and nation. SENIOR CLASS WILL Friends: I, Lillian Vesce, having been appointed attorney for the Graduating Class of 1954, hereby read before this audience its last will and testament.

Attorney: Lillian Vesce Witnesses: Eileen Malley Joseph Lamagna John DeMetropolis CLASS PROPHECY Enfield: 1974 Flash! From the wires of the (Alan) FREY and (Regina) BROUILLETTE NEWS SERVICE in New York City, comes the announcement of a discovery that will eventually prolong the life of a normal human being! This new wonder drug, developed in Enfield, Connecticut, in the (John) CHAPPELL and (Bill) COTE LABORATORIES, is credited to the nationally-known chemist, ROBERT BIGGINS, and his assistant EDWARD SZELA. Week after week Enfield has been hitting the news spotlight with amazing achievements that have been startling the nation. Why, just last month, VICTOR FALKOWSKI was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work in releasing the energy in an ordinary glass of water. Without the co-operation of SAM GURRERI, JIM MANISCAL- CHI, and JACQUELINE BOUCHER the winning of this prize would not have been possible. Because of these accomplishments, the three top corresdon- dents, SUSAN DENI, MIRIAM AUVINE, and DIAN BURBANK, associated with the FREY and BROUILLETTE NEWS SERVICE, have been sent to the city of Enfield to report on the progress made by this rapidly-developing metropolis. Arriving at (George) WRISLEY FIELD by (Jay) HARRI- SON JET AIRLINES, the pilot and co-pilot, EDWARD LAJOIE and RALPH O’CONNELL, are instructed by control tower operator, IRENE ORCINOLI, to taxi up to Gate 2. The three reporters step off the plane, and much to their surprise, they see three of their old classmotes, ARBA COOLEY, sales consultant for (Bill) HOGIN- SKI MOTOR SALES; THOMAS CATANIA, employed by the (Kenneth) GARROW and (Jerry) DISTAZIO U Name It, We Have It” FURNITURE COMPANY; and (Nick) LONGO, repre- senting (Jack) SALAMON’S IMPORTING CONCERN, who are there to meet their close friends — Bring ’em back alive boys” RAYMOND KASPERZAK, MARIO DEI DOLORI, and ED- WARD PRAYZNER, just returning from a hunting expedition in Timbuktu. Proceeding from the air field they hail a taxi driven by ELIZABETH WAGNER, who is working for the (Martin) KEANE CAB COMPANY. After making reservations at the HOLTON HOTEL, owned by that up-and-coming movie star, MISS DOROTHY HOLTON, who, incidentally, is co-starring with JIM McBRIDE, in the movie of a great athlete, entitled: THE MOSCHETTI STORY,” they are fortunate enough to have MAYOR THOMAS FITZ- GERALD show them how the citizens of Enfield have been work- ing side by side in making the city of Enfield what it is today. Stopping at the Hazard Insurance Company, of which FORREST SMITH and CARLTON DAMONTE are president and vice-presi- dent, they are greeted by the engaging receptionist, IRENE DE- FORD. Sauntering through the modernistic building made pos- sible through the designing efforts of (Richard) HAPGOOD and (Arthur) GIRARD, Inc., they chance upon an immense room in which efficient office workers, SANDRA HURLBURT, JOYCE HALPIN, NANCY RYPYSC, JULIA BUGNACKI, MARIE GUR- RERI, and CHRISTINE FASANO are busy at work. Upon leaving the insurance building and knowing that some of their friends are employed at the city hospital, where medical history has been made by that outstanding surgeon, Dr. JOHN cure all FORRO, by his discovery of a permanent cure for the disease that has been terrifying the nation, they decide to visit and observe them at their duties. Once at the hospital, supervised by those competent nurses, the GARDNER TWINS. (Elizabeth and Mary Lou), they are met by medical secretary ESTELLE AVERY, who offers to guide them through the hospital. Peering into the oper- ating room, they observe nurses DORIS PASSERINI, CAROLYN BASCOM, MILDRED DENBY, JANE HARTLEY, and CAROL PACKER assisting Drs. ROBERT BECKMAN and CHARLES CUMMINGS in inserting artificial lungs in a patient. They pro- ceed to the children’s ward where they find HELEN KRUPCZAK reading to the children under her care. A short distance from the hospital they sight SABIA’S TV SALES AND SERVICE CENTER,” owned and operated by AN- THONY SABIA, where FRANCES DUDA and JOAN ATTARDI are employed as accountants. Further along the famed Enfield Boulevard, the group pauses to gaze up at the magnificent skyscraper now under construction by (Kenneth) HURLBURT and (Robert) KING, ASSOCIATES, who have constructed many of the important buildings in the city. This building is soon to house many business offices, a few of which are (Charles) ARNONE'S FRIENDLY LOAN ASSOCIATION, which will employ RUTH COTE, KATHLEEN FINNAN, ROSE PETRONE, and LILLIAN VESCE as accountants, and BETTE I REEMANTLE, JEAN RAFFIA, and FRANCES MURKOWICZ as tellers; ANN MULE’S BEAUTY SALON; JOHN MACIOLEK’S LAW OFFICE, with ROSE SECONDO as his receptionist and FLORA BUNCE as his private secretary. Their growing appetites are increased by the enticing aroma drifting from the LINCOLN SISTERS’ TEA SHOPPE” (Ruth and Dorothy of course). After a tempting lunch, topped off with ice cream that had a flavor of its own, from (Millard) ROLSTON’S DAIRY FARM, they continued their assignment with a visit to the Courthouse, where they had an interesting chat with the presiding judge, RAYMOND UNDERWOOD, and recording secretary, CLAIRE CHAINE. Judge Underwood was happy to say that the Chief of Police CHICK LOCKWOOD and his efficient force have done a remarkable job in keeping law and order in this harmonious city. Passing by (Ronald) ALAIMO’S SUPER FOOD MARKET, they were told by the mayor that some of their friends, MARCELLA BARNES, CARL PECH, MARLENE PROVENCHER, and RITA NITCH, assist Mr. Alaimo in accommodating the public with A-l food at low prices. These low-priced foods are grown and pro- cessed by LOUIS MAROCCHINI’S vast Farm System. He adopted a new method of producing more crops per acre. This was accomp- lished by MARY NIGRO and WILLIAM GRIMES, who have been doing extensive research in the scientific growth of plants. As they enter (Thomas) CLIFFORD’S DEPARTMENT STORE, MONA OLSON is observed putting her dainty touch in trimming the display window. Inside the store, sales manager ROBERT GRAY is instructing SHIRLEY NOBLE, BARBARA HILDITCH, and MAUREEN SULLIVAN, of their tasks for the day. They are taken up to the Orchid Room on the mezzanine where a fashion show is in progress. Modeling the latest styles from Paris, designed by IRENE PROULX are JEAN PEASE, JEAN ZIROLLI, LUCILLE SPAZZARINI, and ANNAMAE FRANGIAMORE. Mayor Fitzgerald suggested to the reporters that for an hour of relaxation they should attend the Speaking Voice of Enfield , Station WHTS (Wallop, Hazardville, Thompsonville, and Scitico), where they will listen to HOWARD RAYMOND'S Musical Jam- boree,” sponsored by SHIRLEY TOUGH’S scrumptious Flakie- Wakie Breakfast Cereal,” the cereal that gives you that get up and go back to bed feeling. The backbone of the program is really due to FRED JAND- REAU, technical engineer; CHARLES CAMMILLERI, audio en- gineer; and ROSARIO VELLA, program director, who is more commonly known as just plain Joe.” As the light of day fades into the darkness of the night, the familiar hum of city traffic greets them once more. After meeting KATHRYN ZOMNIR, who tells them of her latest experiences in her new methods of teaching, they return to the hotel to freshen up for an enjoyable evening of entertainment at the (Barbara) PARKER HOUSE.” The program of the evening includes a specialty number by BEVERLY CARPENTER, accompanied by DICK PRIOR S BAND OF RENOWN, highlighted by JOSEPH SIANA with the clarinet; RAYMOND RENAUDETTE, keeping beat with the drums; and DAVID FORSYTH, on the saxophone. Master of ceremonies for the evening was JOHN The Jokester” SESSA. At this point the group is interrupted by Western Union Messenger RALPH Speedy” HARDAKER, who hands them a telegram which states that they have an assignment waiting for them which will take them to a college in the mid-west, where JERRY HANNIFIN is head coach of the football team. As the time is limited and another assignment is waiting, they were reluctant to leave the club to board the plane for their depar- ture. Once at the plane, the three reporters wave good-bye to Mayor Fitzgerald. They are comfortably accommodated by the charming stewardesses, MARION POMEROY, BEVERLY Mc- GUIRE, and LINDA KEARNS. As the plane departs from Wris- ley Field, and blends into the deep blue of the atmosphere, the three reporters glance back and hope that some day they will again visit Enfield when they will be able to stay longer.

This is a fitting title for this year’s football team. Led on by co-captains Pete Moschetti and Don Palmeri, our team concluded the season undefeated in first place — clinching the Pioneer Valley League title. Using the single T and winged T” formations to the best advantage, the team compiled im- pressive yardage and touchdown scores. Some teams like Ludlow and Holyoke Catholic were beaten easily. With others like Trade and Hingham we were tied. However, win, lose, or draw the Green Raiders are champions in another sense—good sports- manship. Home or away our team maintains the highest ideals of fair play and sportsmanship. The Green Raiders are truly champions.

Mercik and P. Moschetti The Green Raiders again displayed their athletic prowess on the basketball court. Early in the season Coach Angeli- ca’s Nutmeggers proved themselves a team to be reckoned with by their out- standing performance. Led by Captain Gerry Hannifin the varsity squad mowed down their Valley Wheel opponents with only one defeat. The experienced seniors, G. Hannifin, C. Lockwood, P. Moschetti, and H. Ray- mond, formed the nucleus of this expert team. For four years they had played earnestly and wholeheartedly, first on the Junior Varsity and then on the Varsity squad. Their names, along with other Enfield High School basketball players perpetuating the finest traditions of En- field, will be inscribed in the Green Raiders’ Hall of Fame. 53 STOP THE ENFIELD HOOPERS BASEBALL SQUAD Bottom First Row — 1-r: J.
