THE TATLER But when she stars in special dancing We watch her step and graceful pranc- ing. Ralph Landry Ralph is a boy of fourteen Who plays on the Higgins baseball team. 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 is a fine student in work and play And may be a wonderful lawyer some day. Louise McKowen A fair maid named Louise Says to each teacher, “Please help me And I’ll so grateful be For I don’t want to get any D’s.” Carl Menzler Carl Menzler is very plump and round. 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. Her name though difficult we’ll re- member For of the Higgins School, she was a member. Anna Montagna Said Anna Montagna, “In my dress of green I’m as happy as a queen. I’m truly glad that I am good And always act just as I should. .Juliette Montana Juliette thought she’s make a change or two From 8B to 8A Class. You may think this rather strange, But not if you know the lass. Walter Moody A boy who would a-fishing go Whether his mother would let him or no. From work he would skip And his clothes he would rip. Fannie Niemiec Little Fannie Niemiec looks so sweet In her white dress, cool and neat, She is a sweet girl with smiling ways And takes a leading part in all the plays. Dominick Montana A boy who works long hours and late Is Dominick of fame and fate. Of cream and milk he sells the purest And of his studies he’s the surest. 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. He’s a fine captain and all like that, And in Higgins famous nine he’s known as “Casey at the Bat.”

Is Ruth Pease in her crimson gown. Smiling and nodding as she goes. She looks like an oriental rose.
