THE ENFIELD ECHO 17 Miss Raffia comes from Wallop, But that doesn’t cramp her style; That girl sure knows her dancing And Oh, Boy! What a smile! To talk to all the girlies Is to Bielitz a treat. And when he starts his sheiking He has John Gilbert beat. Next comes Joe Naughton My! how he curves the ball; Of all the great pitchers We like him best of all. “Track’s” hair is red; His eyes are blue; He’s chuck-full of fun, And mischief, too. She’s tall and slim. And very sweet; It’s Miss Gaudette— We’d like you to meet Chester is ambitious— Always with a book; And to the girlies He never gives a look. Our stately “Cappo”— Of footfall fame. Crashes the line And makes a gain. A bewitching smile— A sparkling eye— Angela uses To make the blues fly. Boris likes her office work: At this she spends her day: when she get a steady job. We’re sure shell earn her pay. A business manager was needed. And who do ymi think wj»c found? We thought this cry unheeded TiE Gourlie «came around. We have two “red heads” in our class Just now well sneak of one: His name is Bob: be’ tall and slim And always full of fun. Francis doesn’t waste his time As do the .other boys: He labors on Ms father's farm But dreams off other , oys. Who is Charlotte’s hero? Guess him if you will; We think it’s Uncle Wiggly For she seldom does sit still. Hark! what’s that noise resounding Which rises to a din; Why it’s only Emil Bayek Blowing on his “tin”! We’re never sad when Helen’s near Her laugh is so contagious; We’re sure she shouldn’t fool so much For it’s most outrageous. Anna, Bertha, and Mildred Are trying to get thin; Each shows her talent rare, Before Miss Ryan in the gym. Stuart is our class actor And also our class clown; We all are very sure He’ll win great renown. Elsie’s very quiet And never talks in school; She tries very hard To keep the golden rule. William Thomnson is a modest lad Within the bounds of school: But should vou meet him elsewhere, You’d find he likes to fool. A «nrl that we know— By the name of Louise Is always most cheerful And not hard to please. Did you ever see a fashion plate Or an actor on a rover We have one to fill the b»ll— It’s Pryce, our movie lover. Eunice is our Prima Donne: She really sings ouite well— And after each performance We think that she’s quite “swell ” Now Hesley isn’t slim— Just a little stout; There’s not a thing in Histon,’ That he doesn’t know about. This estimate of Margeret Knight We offer without shrinking; It is that we deplore the time. She’s known to waste in prinking. (Continued on ‘Pag.e $9)
