He lives in the park, And sings like a lark, This boy whom we all esteem. Leona Leger There is a girl named Leona Who does nothing but play the piano. But in classes of gym ’Twould be pretty grim If it were not for Leona. Gertrude Lester Gertrude Lester is in our class. She is a pretty looking lass. She has the “come hither” in her eye And for such a look the boys all vie. Frank MafTe Frank Maffe is a good looking chap And he has a pretty gray cap.

He likes to roll upon the ground. Come rain or shine he’s always happy, A nice contented little chappie. Edwin Meyer Do you know Edwin Meyer ? Who is a real estate buyer. He always buys what is cheap And scrapes his money into a heap. Wanda Michalowski There is a girl in 8C Who is as busy as she can be.

Henry Mylek A dillar a dollar, A baker and a scholar. What makes you look so blue? Why such sad looks? Why no more books? Of this we have no clue. Stanley Nowak Here’s Stanley Nowak in a rather queer quest. He’s hunting for a license he never possessed. Sam Nuccio “When I’m grown up,” I heard Sam Nuccio say. “Then I be out of school each day. That’ll be a good thing you’ll readily see Because my bike can’t go without me.” Astrima Tina Astrima Tina is a ball player fine. You can always find him with the baseball nine.
