THE TATLER 1 1 Dorothy Clarkin Here comes Dorothy so blithe and gay, She’s the happiest lassie of the day; If on Dorothy for a duty you call, You’ll see she is most willing of all. 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. Is very sociable with us all; She comes to school sometimes sad. We wonder why for she’s never bad. Dorothy Cote Dorothy Cote of 8B2. Can dance the Charleston the whole way through ; With one hand up and one hand down She can out dance anyone in town. Fannie Cybulski Fannie Cybulski as you see An artist sure will be. 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. 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.”

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.

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. Every day seems to have many a care. I think he’s the soberest boy in town. He never laughs, yet nothing weighs him down. Edward Gwozdz Edward Gwozdz is a boy And teachers he does never annoy.

To solve this he surely does try. We hope he will get it by and by.

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.
