16 THE ENFIELD ECHO Her card is one of the best, It’s crammed with A’s and B’s. Margaret Connor is so quiet, She hasn’t much to say; Bat we’re quite sure that she Will rise to fame some day. Abrahamson is quite a lad, His sax he plays real well; But, with the girls is he as smart? Of that, he’ll never tell. Now Crombie has a very big car, And drives it very well; But when Ruth drove it home that night— It surely went pell-mell. Doris Norian is so noisy, She talks and fools all day; But still on her report card You will find a couple of A’s. Now Carey’s very quiet, In class this is revealed, And to the girls that pass him His lips are always sealed. Ruth Dolan, on buggy rides doesn’t g° . , As they did in eighty-seven; But now she does a lot of things— To keep her out of Heaven. Peter is a big surprise When he is out of school; But when he’s in that Pontiac, He does nothing else but fool. Bernice, you’re never still a minute— You can’t sit quiet in your seat— From early morn till night, You’re busy, tongue and feet. Margaret works in the five and ten, A little store on Pearl Street; We wonder if that’s the reason, Why—she always looks so neat. Rosella loves to argue, Her tongue wags night and day, You might as well listen Till she has had her say. Next is Bill Kelley With hair so very bright, Talking to the girlies Seems to be his chief delight. Henry is so very small He can sure make some fun; And when he’s on the baseball field, You ought to see him run. Doris is so dignified, As all of you can see, ’Cause she’s our valedictorian Just as she ought to be. Flashing eyes and bright red cheeks— At his throat a “special” bow; When it comes to charming the fair sex, Why—Clarkie’s not so slow. Irene seems fond of music, When bowing she’s at her best, And at Friday assemblies Her fiddle leads all the rest. Ida Brien, we’ve been wondering, What murmurs would fill the air, If to school you come some morning After having bobbed your hair. Elma has big shining eyes, Her laughter’s always bright, But by the list of her admirers, She must use them day and night. Iiapoport thinks he’s smart, When in class he does recite. But when he wears those knickers He knows that he’s just right. Eleanor’s always dreaming Of things we do not know; Come on—’fess up, Eleanor, Is it your beau ? O’Brien, you’re very smart in school, But goodness! why don’t you grow? Then, too, you speak so very fast, It’s hard to hear, you know. Anna is a bashful girl, We can’t imagine why; We wonder if out of school, Anna is so shy. Amelia is so sweet, And also very shy, Whene’er she sees a boy, You ought to see her fly. Bill was our third baseman And perhaps due to his red hair, He had some difficulties— Now Cormier is stationed there. Now classmates, we hope that you’ll not feel sore, For now we’ve finished—we’ll say no more, For all the knocks that we have sent Were never written to be meant.

THE ENFIELD ECHO 15 Though Jackson is tall and stately, He’s quite collegiate, we hear; He wears baggy knickers and splashy socks, And goes about hatless throughout the year. Next in line is Ethel, A pianist quite famed, Though in her repertoire Jazz pieces are not contained. Ray White is so very vain, Tho he has a catching way, He also has a “catching Ford”, That’s what gets ’em, Ray. Even though he’s youngest In the class of ’27, Georgie flirts with all the girls; Shame! He’ll never get to Heaven. We have an orator in our class Who ever tries to please; Of course you know Louise it is, Who debates with such skillful ease. James Miller is our new classmate Who talks—a very little bit; Rut we must say at any rate In sports—he surely makes a hit. Miss Bramwell is a bashful miss; She never says a word, And if she’s ever spoken to Her voice cannot be heard. Red, wavy hair, and long at that! Oh! What a proposition! Despite it all Miss Malley has A charming disposition. When Dotty is away from home, She likes to raise the dickens, But when she doesn’t stray or roam. She spends her time with “Chickens.” Ramsey conceals a load of brains Under his bright red hair; But on the farm he takes pains To make use of what’s stored there. When Irish eyes are smiling, And a dimple in each cheek, Sure, we know that charming Agnes Had “hot fudges” all this week. Ruth Leggett doesn’t like to talk, And at acting doesn’t balk; She had lots of pep and was full of glee When Adam said, “Come here to me. And now we come to Fanelli, A lad with jet black hair, Together with a complexion Which now-a-days is quite rare. Alice is of the quiet type, With a disposition mild, We wonder what would happen, If Alice acted wild. We wonder if to college Scavatto will really go; We hope at first he gets a book On “What College Men Should Know.” Under a spreading chestnut tree Our little Deane did stand; The old boy is not what he used to be, Since he gave both heart and hand. We all know Marj loves dancing And skating is her specialty; Who knows but in the future A champion she may be. Cotilda’s hair is never curled, It’s always long and straight; Cotilda, why not bob it now, And be right up-to-date. Eddie is a magnet For women, so they say; But Eddie lost his Erma, For she’s gone elsewhere to play. Martha likes her Henry, Though he hasn’t much of a car; It’s an old rattling Ford Which takes them very far. Rosalie is lots of fun, And she dresses like a queen; But I couldn’t say about her A single thing that’s mean. David’s awfully little, But I couldn’t say the same About his gleeful giggle That brings to him much fame. Betty is on the “Echo”; She’s done her very best, And kept up with her school work, too; Don’t you think she’s earned a rest? Marie doesn’t like to tattle, Her business all to say. But there’s one thing that she likes, We wonder; is it Ray? Rita likes to study, Her tasks she does with ease.
