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.

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. And at school he’s never late; On his lessons he is bent. From examinations to be exempt. Eldred Baillieul Eldred is a book lover. He reads every book from cover to cover. Some day an author he may be. An industrious boy is he. Victoria Baj Victoria Baj of 8B one Always has her work well done. She is sure to pass, you see. For on her card there is no “D.” John Bajek John is a small boy. He comes to school never to annoy. Out of the window he steals a look When he is not studying books. 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.

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. To the feminine gender you’re very curt ; But in years to come I’m sure you’ll have learned, That with the male sex you’ll not be concerned. Mario De Caro Mario is bright and fair. At the girls you see him stare. On his face he has a grin And a baseball he can spin. Frank D’Lorenzo A fine artist of 8A Is Frank D’Lorenzo I’m sure you’ll say. And in his studies he does well. As his report card will tell. Albert Doyker Albert Doyker is a good pole vaulter. At jumping he never does falter; He holds the boys’ record at 7 ft. one. Don’t try to beat him, it can’t be done. Edward Drewoning Edward Drewoning of 8B, A very mischievous lad is he. In History he’s right there But for Grammar he does not care. Edward Dunne On a farm Edward lives.

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.”
