Now from this school we must depart Onward to our life careers With your vision in our hearts. Teachers, friends, and classmates true.

Junior High, Farewell to thee, A. D. Higgins, As we now say “Good-Bye.” Class Poem We have had a very happy career. In the Higgins School, but now the end is here. We wish to thank our principal, so true. And teachers, we shall never forget you. Classmates, we are all about to part And all, I hope, with a jolly good heart. In your saddest times, try to be gay For your “Not finished, just begun” today. When we are well on the road of life. And have to struggle with unavoid- able strife. We shall throw back our shoulders, and be unafraid For memories of this school shall be our aid. Charles Bonelli. Class History We can hardly realize that the career of the class of nineteen twenty- six of the Alvin D. Higgins Junior High School has come to an end and we are about to say, “Farewell.” To most of us, -our lives here have been happy and profitable and we have striven daily to reach the goal; our graduation. During this time, we not only secured the knowledge of certain subjects as English, History and Arithmetic but have endeavored to develop the cultivation of good morals, which will serve us in our future lives. School reopened September 8, 1925, and we were surprised when separat- ed into four rooms instead of three as in the previous year. This was necessary because our class was the largest to enter the A. D. Higgins School. 2 THE TATLER During the second month of school we organized the Student Council with James Richardson as President; Marion Hartley, Vice President; and Mary Connor, Secretary. At Miss Clancy’s suggestion, the council was changed considerably this year. In order to make it more democratic, each room was organized like a little state with a president, vice-president and secretary. Meetings are con- ducted in each room once every two weeks and the report of the work ac- complished is given by the officers of each room at the Student Council meetings. An added feature is the rating of each room according to their report, thereby making compe- tition between rooms. In the middle of the year, new officers were chosen: President, John Angelica, Vice Pres- ident, Theresa Garini; and Secretary, Jennie Middlear. The aim of the council has been realized by develop- ing many good qualities in all of .us such as responsibility, obedience to authority and the spirit of coopera- tion and initiative. We regret the loss of a few of our classmates who have left our school to work or have moved elsewhere. However, this loss has been counter- acted by the admission of three new pupils: Lincoln Pettit, Martin Mika and Joy Tatro. Last winter many of us were greatly disappointed because we did not succeed in carrying out our plans for the usual class sleighride. On ac- count of the two great blizzards all sleighs were busily employed remov- ing the snow from the highways, which made it impossible for us to secure one. After the roads were so bare so we had to give up the idea of going. This year the boys have had a new gymnastic teacher, Mr. Allen. Bas- ketball teams were organized and in the Spring a baseball team with the following officers: Walter Ankiewis, Manager; Alex Tenero, Captain. In ail our games we have played with a spirit of fairness and fun. Just think of it. Classmates! Our class prides itself on being the largest graduating class in the history of the school. Strange to say, even with this increase the number of pupils whose graduation was doubtful was less than ever before. We can also boast of producing the best school orchestra, which has rendered us great service, and enjoyment through- out the year. Through the cooperation of our teachers and classmates, we have had the pleasure of witnessing many in- structive and amusing entertainments in assembly. Lessons in health, safe- ty, thrift, fire prevention, patriotism, and communication have been taught us through plays, songs, and poems. Through the efforts of Miss Clancy we have had the privilege of hearing many good speakers. One of our vis- itors, Mr. Grant, a bird lover, who spoke to us about birds in this vicin- ity. Mrs. Pinney, a former teacher here, gave us a delightful talk on her Mediterranean Cruise. A represen- tative of the state, Mr. Bachman, lately spoke to us about health and temperance. Another important event occurred National Education Week when our parents visited school. We helped them to enjoy the day by the presen- tation of an entertainment including all grades, later followed by a social hour with refreshments. March 16, 1926 — in order to con- duct the business necessary a meet- ing of the entire class was held in the auditorium. We elected our Presi- dent, Marion Hartley; Vice President, Frank Bania; Secretary, Theresa Garini and Treasurer, John Angelica. Our class paper “The Tatler” has been improved by a drawing at the head of each department. Much credit is due to the boys’ newspaper class which has worked hard to make it worthwhile. The success of our class is due to the influence of our teachers and Principal, Miss Clancy, who have al- ways taken an interest in every one of us. In conclusion, we hope that succeed- ing classes will always measure up to the high standards which ' we have set as we go onward to our work “Not finished, just begun!” THE TATLER 3 - Class Statistics Prettiest Girl Margaret Bartley Handsomest Boy Herbert Taylor Most Popular Girl Marion Hartley Most Popular Boy Alex Tenero Smartest Girl Marion Hartley Smartest Boy Allan Handy Vainest Girl Natalie Daniels Vainest Boy Arthur Blowen Wittiest Girl Doris Quinn Wittiest Boy George Krause Quietest Girl Florence Blowen Quietest Boy Joseph Polek Most Talkative Girl Rose Bellica Most Talkative Boy James Catania Class Artist Fannie Cybulski Class Poet Charles Bonelli Class Athlete Alex Tenero Class Pet Betty Pease Class Shiek Gilbert Gibney Class Bluff Harry Tatoian Class PropHecy One day in 1946 while I was on a tour in Europe I heard of an ancient tower in Spain which had been there for many centuries. Whoever had the courage to climb to the top of this, could see, by means of glasses anything anywhere or any place in any part of the world. Having a de- sire to see my old schoolmates of 1926, I decided that it would be worth the effort to try to reach the top. I succeeded and found myself in a large glass room. In order to see what I desired, I found that it was necessary to wear a queer looking pair of glasses, rented by the keeper. I put these on and to my great surprise, in front of me flashed — Ira Goldstein studying the stars through a giant telescope at Mt. Wil- son Observatory. Next I recognized Francis Kryzs giving one of her famous dances in a large theater, the crowd was ap- plauding loudly, and I was glad to see that she had grown several inches. Then I saw Leroy Lamont at his desk as president of the Woolworth Concern dictating to Cecelia Lajoie, his stenographer. The scene shifted and I saw a jail. There I recognized George Krause who was put there for murdering a fly. He soon broke out with the measles. I then saw John Norian and his assistant, John Nasuta in a great printing shop. They were as busy as bees printing papers called the N. N. News. The glasses then brought to my view Roy King as a civil engineer constructing a large bridge which would greatly benefit the country. I also recognized Edmund Kosoki as his chief assistant. I then saw Stanley Kizario in a large room teaching physical training w ' hich he seemed to be enjoying. I remember that when we went to school long ago he was always talk- ing about being a physical director. In the next scene I saw Florence Luke, an owner of a beauty parlor. She was waving Margaret Oliver’s hair. Margaret, a society leader, was to attend a large affair the next day. Next I saw Martin Mika on a race track riding a handsome horse w ' hich was his pride and joy. The scene shifted and I saw Law- rence Knight living in a cosy home in the suburbs of Springfield. He had retired from business having become very rich. Looking in another direction, I saw Gilbert Gibney working in a barber shop shaving Louis Gucwa. As the scene changed I saw ' Anna Parakilas, the famous pianist, teach- ing small children their lessons. Suddenly I was in a large hall in New York. I saw Angelina Pagano doing the latest dance step while the people were applauding her. She was awarded a gold medal for doing it the longest and the best. Watching closely, I saw Balsadore Gaetania in the pitching box showing what he could do with Peter Genelia, the star catcher, who couldn’t miss a ball. I r rijsSliSp Cl ASS OF THE TATLER 5 I then recognized Charles Ganuscio, banker of the TVille Trust Co., ac- companied by his private secretary, Theresa Garini. As I looked through the glasses I saw Lincoln Pettit sitting in a well fur- nished office. He was now a pros- perous real estate agent in the West.

Arthur was a chem- ist in the Colonial Paint Co. The glass then reflected to a gym- nasium where Beatrice Block (who had reduced a great deal) was teach- ing a class in gym. Then I saw a boxing bout. The two pugilists were Mario De Caro and Frank D’Lorenzo. Both were in good condition. Neither seemed to win or lose. The referee was Albert Doyker. I then saw in a great building, a teacher who was busy with some of her pupils teaching them the noun. Who else could it be but Vincey Aloisa. Again the scene changed and I saw the largest drug store in Hartford. I was surprised to see Fannie Shara- pan, the manager. The glasses then brought to my view Ford Hall Forum at Boston. Who should I see but Joseph Kita lectur- ing. He had become famous in that line of work. Next I saw Robert Squires, owner of a soda factory who was drinking more than he sold.

Then I saw Josephine Tortorich as a champion tennis player. She was known as “Josephine the great left handed player.” I took off the glasses and rested my eyes. I was very quick about it so that I could go back to my class- mates. The first one that came to my view’ was William Walsh, teaching a large class in music. William always hoped to be a supervisor. Then the scene changed and brought to my view Montreal, Can- ada, where Jean Armour was a nurse in the largest hospital. I then recognized Edward Dunne as a great electrician wiring a house ow’ned by John Fuge, who had be- come a big business man. In a large forest I recognized Felix Rybick, a hunter, hunting for furs.

They seemed to be leading a happy life in a cosy little home at New London Beach. Then I saw Vict®ria Baj curling a girls’ hair while her husband, Edward Attardi, was cutting someone else’s hair.

Then before me flashed Tony Por- cello in his plumber shop. He was a very wealthy man as all plumbers soon become. I next saw Sebastian Angelica in- terpreting in a European Hotel. He had learned how to speak thirty-eight different languages and was very famous all over Europe. I then saw Margaret Bartley, pick- ing out the latest fads for the Amer- ican Dress Shop ' s and fashion dis- plays. Then I noticed Rose Bellico in a typewriting contest.

I recog- nized immediately George Evans. In a large hall, there seemed to be great applauding, I noticed Evelyn Casinghino who had become a famous comedian entertaining a large audi- ence.

Directing a large orchestra in New York I saw Kenneth Cordner. He was a fine violinist. In a large gymnasium, I saw John Angelica teaching the younger gen- eration the art of boxing. Gazing into the Hollywood studio I saw Amelia Lezone. As I turned I happened to see a prosperous mining valley building a railroad. I recognized Mathew Pierog as boss. I remember that in his school days he helped his father on the rail- road tracks. The scene shifted to a large racing track, where Herbert Taylor, jockey, was leading the rest on his horse “Earphones.” Looking again I saw Alex Tenero. He had just won the world’s series for the Washington Senators by mak- ing a sensational catch of a fly at shortstop, which ended the game. The score was nine to three. I then saw John Midowski a life guard. He had just saved a lady’s life and had three medals for heroism. I then saw the interior of the Trav- eler’s Insurance Co. in Hartford. The re sat Mary Connor as private secretary to one of the executives of the company. Next the scene shifted to a beach. There I saw Joe Peraro and Mary Ambrosini just starting out a motor boat. The glass then took me to Argentina where I saw Helen Shar- ogean speaking to a large assembly. She had become a missionary. The scene shifted to a schoolroom where Mary Slapska was teaching French. She was always good in French in the Higgins School. The scene changed and I saw Mary Setera. She was taking care of many little orphans in one of the big or- phanages in the Orient. As the scene changed again I saw Anna Pumiglia in the Venetian Gar- dens playing the piano, drawing crowds from far and near to hear her. Then near the suburbs of Boston, Bertha Noreika and her beloved hus- band, Edward Savage, lived happily. Nearby them, Sophie Swatlowski had a beauty parlor, and was making her fortune. As the scene shifted again I saw John Prestia teaching a boys’ gym- nasium class at the Alvin D. Higgins in Thompsonville. He was one of the few to remain in Thompsonville. The scene changed and I saw Rus- sell Trotter and Edward Portenski acting for the Paramount Picture Co. They were the most noted comedians in the world. Next I saw Joseph Polek. He was a priest in a quiet New England vil- lage. He was loved by everyone. We all remember Joseph as a very quiet lad in school. Next I saw George Smith who had became an expert electrician. He was then in Paris installing a new elec- trical plant. He made himself under- stood very easily as he had studied French in the Alvin D. Higgins School. Who should appear next but James Catania fighting to defend his title as lightweight champion boxer of the world in Madison Square Garden. The scene changed and I saw Ar- lene Stubbs as commandant of all the girl scouts of America. She was di- recting the model troop of the U. S. through the semaphore code in prep- aration for the contest from which the best troop in the world was to be chosen. Then I seemed to be in a large de- partment store in the center of New York. There I saw Catherine Simons HIGGINS SCHOOl THE TATLER 9 lecturing- to a large group of women on the practical way to dress. Next I saw Anna Pawelcik as a stenographer in a large firm. The next place I saw was an ice cream parlor. Here I saw Helen Smith serving ice cream to several youths. I noticed her name on the door, so inferred that she owned the shop. Could it all be true — had I really seen all the members of the class of 1926! Yes, I surely had — not one of the one hundred and twenty-nine graduates had I missed. That cer- tainly was an afternoon well spent and I hope that I may have the privi- lege of meeting many of them in per- son when I return to the United States. Class Jingle Vincey Aloisa Vincey A. has some nice fine hair. She does her work with the greatest care. She comes to school dressed so neat. And in grammar the rest she does beat. Mary Abrosini There is a girl in our class Who surely can talk very fast — Mary wishes hard each day That school will let out so she can play. John Angelica John Angelica is a serious lad. And a serious lad is he. He’s sometimes good and sometimes bad But serious he’ll insist to be. Sebastian Angelica Sebastian is our Charleston stepper. His fad is movie actor, too. Now classmates, this question I ask to you — Which does he like the better? Sophie Ankiewis Sophie of 8BH Has worked hard all year through. But between studies she does find Plenty of leisure time. Walter Ankiewis Walter Ankiewis laughs ail day But work he does not display. It’s hard for him to study. Instead he bothers everybody. Carmela Anzolatti Brown are her eyes and full of pep When she walks she watches her step. Carmela Anzolatti so bright and gay Comes to school prepared each day. Jean Armour Jean Armour of 8B, A very fine girl is she. In arithmetic she is fair. But in writing is more than there. Edward Attardi Here’s Edward A. who sits so straight.

Frank Bania Frank Bania of 8A Class, In church he serves at Mass; In school his work he does with care. There’s never a time when Frank’s not there. Margaret Bartley Our Margaret is very pretty Yes and quite popular, too And though you search through all the class. Girls like her you’ll find but few. 10 THE TATLER John Basinkieuze John Basinkieuze of 8C Studies very hard, you see, On his face a pretty smile Gladdens us all the while. Rose Bellico Rose Bellico of 8B one. With the boys sure has fun; In her new dress she looks smart. And from the rest is set apart. Russel Bellico Russel of the baseball nine Still never ready or never on time He keeps up with the others, I mean his A. D. Higgins brothers. Wanda Bezak There is a girl in 8A class, Wanda Bezak is the lass; She does her homework day by day. And then has time for her play. Beatrice Block Beatrice Block likes to talk. But never a lesson does she balk; She has lots of pep and is full of fun. But never quits till the work is done. Arthur Blowen Arthur Blowen an English lad. In balloon pants is sometimes clad; At his home he often wonders. Why in French he always blunders. Florence Blowen Florence Blowen in our class. Is a very quiet lass; As a pianist she may win fame. But in arithmetic she’s rather lame. Charles Bonelli Charles has a poetical mind. People like him are hard to find; In literature he is so wise But in arithmetic he’d never get a prize. Margaret Bridge Margaret Bridge is very shy. And when fair Arthur passes by; Her eyes she opens wide. And her blushes tries to hide. Willard Bromage Let our thoughts now turn to Willard Who is always kind and true; I think it’s because he has no girl That he is sometimes blue. Frances Bruno I know a girl who is very smart. Who always has a (do) song down deep in her heart; Frances Bruno is her name. You’ll always find her just the same. Rasario Bruno Rosario Bruno is so small Sometimes he’s not seen at all. But in spelling he makes a hit. If he misspells he has a fit. Olive Bushey Olive isn’t very fast. In school she’s neither first nor last; She, no high honor will gain. Yet she gets there just the same. Annie Calcasola Annie is a quiet lass She studies all day long. Although she seldom talks in class They say she’s never wrong. Carmella Caramazza Carmella Caramazza so demure and sweet. Has a way about her you just can’t beat; With a manner so beguiling and a style that’s all her own. She’ll succeed in consoling those that are left alone. Amelia Casielia Amelia with her dark brown eyes Studies hard and tries besides; Out of school she will surely pass For she is such a faithful lass. Evelyn Casinghino Now who is next but Evelyn Casing- hino, A jolly bobbed-haired lass; As a mischief maker she’s a leader. The star giggler of her class. Vilma Casinghino Vilma I’ve been a-thinking Wouldn’t it be fun for all. If when you were up reciting We could hear you in the hall. James Catania In history Janies knows all about wars. Yet this he does hot care f6r. He prefers to pass away the time Playing with the baseball nine.

Patricia Collins Patricia Collins is a lass Who doesn’t work all day in class. For to everyone once in a while Patricia will give a smile. Mary Connor Look at Mary Connor, Her name’s on the roll of honor; She’s exempt in every test. Because she always does her best. Kenneth Cordner Kenneth, a good room president, makes The Golden Rule he never breaks; His good manners we all admire. More boys like you we would desire. Doris Cote Doris although so small.

She’s the quietest girl in school And never was known to break a rule. Natalie Daniels Natalie! You are such a flirt.

Much time to homework he does give. Then when it comes to recitation Edward never takes a vacation. George Evans George is an artist by trade. In this he’ll never let his popularity fade. Maybe some day in a famous hall We’ll see his paintings on the wall. John Fuge John is so very small. We can scarcely think him old, at all. But he is never slow — And is continually on the go. Balsadore Gaetani Now Balsadore G. is quite studious. At arguing he is great. And all of us are eager To hear him in debate. Charles Gannuscia Charles hates to leave the school. He has never felt the teacher’s rule. For in school he’s quiet as a mouse. We wonder if he’s like this in the house. Theresa Garini Theresa Garini is secretary of 8BII, To this work she’s been very faith- ful, too. She’s also secretary of the eighth grade, I think she is “a secretary maid.” 12 THE TATLER Peter Genglia Peter G., a smiling lad, In long pants he’s always clad. At his desk he sits all day And fools his time away. Gilbert Gibney Gilbert is so tall an d thin In a race would surely win. He is also our class shiek, We wonder if this name he’ll alw ' ays keep. Ira Goldstein Ira Goldstein of 8A Will be a scientist some day; Then he’ll study all the stars, And find if people live on Mars. Louis Gucwa Diligent little Louis with golden hair.

Robert Kelly Robert Kelly is a dark-haired boy And the girls he does annoy. If you knew you’d say the same So don’t give me all the blame. Bernice Kiablik Our Bernice is tall and slim. And comes to school with quite a grin; Into high school she will go. And you can bet she won’t be slow. Roy King Roy is looking for a remedy To drive away Arithmetic, his enemy. To solve this he surely does try. We hope he will get it by and by. Joseph Kita Joseph is a quiet boy Who has light yellow hair, He never breaks the school’s rules And everywhere acts just as he should. Lawrence Knight Now here comes Lawrence so gay. With a grin that never goes away — He’d rather talk with the girls all day Than either work or play. Edmund Kososki Sing a song on the wireless, A pocket full of tools; Edmund would put up a radio In all our Enfield Schools. Stanley Koziaro Stanley Koziaro is a very fine lad Who wears a sweater, just the fad. But wffien it comes to playing ball. This fine lad is not there at all. George Krause George Krause is a radio fan. If you can’t fix yours Georgie can; As a mechanic he is very smart. And if you were a girl he’d break your heart. Frances Kryzs Next meet Miss Frances K., Always so sunny and gay; Frances is very lithe and airy. And is very good in the part of a fairy. Cecelia Lajoie Cecelia is quite smart in spelling. But when it comes. to History, I’m not telling; But don’t you think she isn’t bright ’Cause I tell you she’s alright. CLASS OFFICERS 1. Frank Bania, Vice President 2. Teresa Garini, Secretary 3.

Thomas Murray A smart, quiet boy is Thomas Mur- ray, He never does seem in a hurry. Yet when it comes to tests. His marks are among the best. John Nasuta He’s climbing the stairs one by one. I’m sure he will reach success in years to come. For I’ve heard some people say He grows more studious day by day. Bertha Noreika Bertha in gym class is alright. But in Science she’s not so bright; She’s one of the girls in school Who likes to break a rule. John Noroian John is a violinist by heart Who after school pulls a newspaper cart. He knows all his lessons in school. Even then he does not have time to fool. Margaret Oliver Margaret Oliver of 8A, Likes the boys, I must say; And when you see a twinkle in her eye. You can tell the boys are nigh. Angelina Pagano Angelina Pagano surely can dance. You can tell it with just one glance; She studies hard, and passes, too. There’s not one thing she can’t do. Anna Parakilas Anna Parakilas, a bright girl in 8A, THE TATLER 15 Has for her motto, “A smile goes a long way”; She is always clean and always neat, And in history class she can’t be beat. Anna Pawelcik Anna Pawelcik is a pretty girl. Whose teeth are as lovely as pearl; In her work she’s always snappy. And it makes her very happy. Betty Pease “B” stands for “Betty,” And “P” stands for “Pease,” But on her report card, “C’s” outshine the “B’s.” Joe Peraro Joe Peraro is a very fine lad. Who wears clothes just the fad; He does his work from day to day. And with us we hope he’ll stay. Lincoln Pettit Lincoln Petitt cam.e to 8A On a cold January day; He studies hard each night. And tries to get his lessons right. Matthew Pierog Matthew Pierog so tall and slim. Always gets an “A” in gym; You will always find him beside a brook. With a rod, reel, line and fishing hook. Stasia Pohorylo Stasia Pohorylo is very bright. Takes home her studies to do each night; She is one who does her part. And besides she’s naturally smart. Joseph Polek Joseph Polek is very quiet. He is seldom ever heard; Although he may be present. He never says a word. Edward Portenski Edward Portenski of 8Bl Can beat anyone at chewing gum; His motto is “three packages a day,” Says it drives the blues away. John Prestia John Prestia plays on first base. He can look any player in the face — For he’s long and also thin, So round the bases he can spin. Oland Prior Gland is a very plump boy Who is certainly never coy. He can talk till he’s red in the face. And everybody says he’d lose in a race. Walter Provencher Walter Provencher is a kind hearted lad. And we all know that’s not so bad; He rides on the busses to and fro. And with us to High School he will go. Anna Pumiglia Anna Pumiglia though never naughty. Is at times decidedly haughty; Plays with the boys, as you can guess. Ask her, and she’ll say yes. Doris Quinn Doris Q., a cheerful lass. Is sure to bring cheer to the class; When she starts to come this way. All the dark clouds go away. Edith Ramaeka Now Edith likes to cook But she has to use a book. She can also sew very fast And is the first to finish in her class. Frank Ravenola Frank is a jolly, studious boy. Often does his classmates annoy. On his desk he beats the time. When he gets the drum, he’ll surely shine. George Rutherford Now George would be an aviator. This is his chief delight. On the subject, we believe He could talk both day and night. Felix Rybick Felix Rybick never misses school. If he does he’d break a rule. He works hard at school all day For he never wastes time to play. Teddy Salva Teddy Salva of 8B, Is slow as you can see; He’s never good or never bad. Just a very average lad. Nellie Samborski Here comes Nellie S., Who’s never in distress; For on her face you’ll see a smile. Which makes life worth while. 16 THE TATLER Edward Savage Edward Savage you all know In class is very slow, The laws af courtesy he does heed Which is more important than speed. Joseph Seminara When in recitation period A funny joke is told, Amid the laughter and noise Joseph is heard above all boys. Mary Setera Mary is a girl quite shy. But in her subjects she gets by; For games she does not care. And in races she’s there. Fannie Sharapan Fannie S. is short and stout. But you never see her pout; She is always full of fun. And has her homework done. Helen Sharougian Helen is an industrious girl Who class jokes does enjoy. When she laughs, we do too. She keeps us happy all day through. Katherine Simons Katherine is the glory of 8BII. There’s nothing she cannot do. She is exempt from all examinations. If all were like her, teachers would not lose patience. Mary Slapska Mary Slapska is a girl in 8A, Who does her best each day ; In her studies she does not shirk. All she does is Work! Work! Work! George Smith George Smith is on the baseball nine. And if you go you’ll see him shine; But in French class he’s not so bright. Guess he never studies it at night. Helen Smith There’s none so clever in our Hygiene class. When she recites she makes us gasp. In school she always does her share And has little time to spare Robert Squires Robert Squires very hard does work. He certainly does never shirk; But I’m afraid he must get slim. Before he can touch his toes in gym. Arlene Stubbs Arlene Stubbs of 8BII Has worked hard all year through. She always has a pleasant smile For she is happy all the while. Sophie Swattowski Sophie is a quiet girl. In her hair there is always a curl. She is not very tall And she is liked by one and all. Harry Tatoian Harry T. is quite fat. And in the largest seat he always sat. To everyone he always grumbles. And when he runs he often stumbles. Joy Tatro A smile for everyone has she. This girl of whom I speak; For Joy is as jolly a girl. As anyone could meet. Herbert Taylor Herbert Taylor is so small. You’d think we wouldn’t notice him at all; But whenever you hear much noise. You can pick him out from all the boys. Alex Tenero Alex Tenero loves to run Around the playground in the sun; Smiling, jolly, happy and neat. The best natured boy one could meet. Josephine Tortorich Now here is Josephine Tortorich, A jolly girl you’ll see; And as a moving picture actress. She’ll amuse both you and me. Russell Trotter Russell Trotter loves to trot. When he grins he never stops. He eats candy by the pound And never fails to pass it around. Anna Vininconis Here comes Anna Vininconis, She has a twinkle in her eye; But that twinkle may deceive you For with the boys she’s very shy. William Walsh William so friendly and cheerful At his work is sometimes skillful. He always lends a willing hand And a friend among all his classmates stands. THE TATLER 17 Edward Wolodko Edward lives out on a farm, Far away from Thompsonville noise. Here he will meet no harm, He’s more bashful than most boys. Ruth Woodward Oh Ruthie, why are you so small. You just don’t seem to grow at all; But scientists now have the dope. They’ve introduced a growing soap. Class Will Know all men by these presents that we, the graduates of the A. D. Higgins School, Town of Enfield, County of Hartford, State of Connect- icut, the Class of 1926 make their last will and testament. During our long life in the Higgins School we have accumulated treas- ures almost equal to those of Cap- tian Kidd. Now we are packing to go to foreign shores. We have discov- ered many valuable things in our wanderings here. In fact so many that we cannot take them all with us. We therefore have decided to dispose of them in the following manner. Item I. We leave to our teachers the best treasures; our gratitude and appreciation for the assistance they have given us for the year ending June 18, 1926. Item 2. We leave to the Class of 1927 the spirit of cooperation and loyalty of the Class of 1926. Item 3. We leave the empty seats and desks in rooms five, six, seven and eight and the auditorium to next year’s class. Item 4. We leave the Code of Mor- als and Miss Clancy’s tests to the future class. Item 5. We leave Sebastian An- gelica’s desk full of papers and pic- tures to supply the school wth scrap paper. Item 6. To Robert Squire’s heavy- weight opponent in next year’s class we leave his reducing powders, guar- anteed to reduce six pounds a week. Item 7. To Russell Pare we leave John Fuge’s new way to do arith- metic examples. Item 8. We leave to the baseball nine of 1927 our baseb.all suits. Item 9. To Steven Sygiel we leave Beatrice Block’s desk full of candy, which he has a liking for. Item 10. We leave Matthew Pier- og’s seat near the window to the next boy trapper. Item 11. We leave to the person who sits in Bertha Noricka’s the spring fever. Item 12. George Smith leaves his French book with pleasure and great happiness to Edward O’Connor. Item 13. The orchestra leaves to the players of 1927 their broken violin strings. Item 14. To Mrs. Stowe we leave $13.13 to buy some new pencils for class use. Item 15. Our best wishes we leave to our Superintendent, Mr. Handy and Miss Clancy who have always displayed great interest in our wel- fare. Item 16. We leave thanks to the Town of Enfield for our grammar school education. Finally we do hereby constitute and appoint our Principal, Miss Nora Clancy, sole executor of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof we, the Class of 1926, the testators, have to this, our will, set our hands and seal this eighteenth day of June, Anno Domini, one thousand nine hundred and twen- ty-six.

They are of gold. Many of the children have them to wear for graduation. CLASS GIFT The class of 1926 gave as a gift to the school a sum of money for visual education. During the past years we have enjoyed the slides so much that we thought it would be fitting to give this sum for the purchase of a few more slides. We hope that they will be appreciated as much by future classes as they were by the class of 1926. WHO’S WHO in 1920 Name Nickname Hobby Aloisa, Vincey Studious Studying Ambrosini, Mary .
