When it is time for a test Helen always is up with the i‘est. Joseph Naughton All hail to the chief who strikes out the batter. He puts the ball over the four-cor- nered platter; And then with the strikes he’s quite handy. In the game of baseball — our Naugh- ton’s a dandy. Rose Nigro Rose Nigro graduates this year. And she in Chorus you can hear Singing in a very cheerful way While our attention to her we pay.
