8 THE TATLER Woiner who had accumulated a large fortune. I then saw Mary Thompson at the Barton, Dockham and Baronian Bros.’ Circus where Joseph Borys was head clown, and Erniinia DeCaro, a daring tightrope walker. I now see a ranch that belongs to George Patterson, who still chews and enjoys gum, and Dominick Montano, an expert horseman. Wesley Elcock, who always was athletic, is the man- ager of the ranch. I heard a clucking, and looking through the telescope saw a chicken farm where Mary Pohoryto and Nel- lie Hydack, the owners, were talking. Nellie was saying: “Cecelia Smith has recently started a tea-room with Anna Montagna as head waitress. I saw no more for I put the tele- scope away with a feeling of much satisfaction, for I had spent a very pleasant afternoon and had learned a great deal about my former class- mates. Perhaps another time I will use this remarkable instrument, but for the present I will let it rest. Class Jingles Harold August Harold, Harold, he’s been thinking What a good thing it would be If the books were all transported Far beyond the Northern Sea. Gilbert Bajek Gilbert Bajek loves to run. Around the playground in the sun; Smiling, jolly, happy and neat. The best natured boy one could meet. Tony Bak Hickory, dickory dock. Do you know Tony Bak? He’s a quiet boy of modest air.

Donald Barker Donald Barker ran away To tease the cook on baking day. “What!” exclaimed the cook in great surprise, “Can you eat six apple pies?” George Baronian George Baronian loves to run And fish beneath the summer sun. But if winter came and he had the grippe. He’d wish himself south on a fishing trip. Raymond Baronian Raymond Baronian is known as a writer Of continued stories, — what could be brighter ? He supplies the “Tatler” with many an ad. There’s not a streak in him of any- thing bad. William Barton William Barton went to play With Edwin Meyer one bright day. They had such glorious heaps of fun! But William ran home at the set of the sun. George Bassos Who is the boy that leads the class. And in every subject is sure to pass.
