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. In History he’s alright But in Arithmetic, my, but he’s bright! Allan Handy Look! Here comes Allan Handy, At picture drawing he’s a dandy; An artist he’s sure to make. And all the prizes will he take. Marian Hartley Always on the roll of honor. You will see Marian’s name; She’ll have badges pinned upon her, ’Cause she’s a girl of fame. Roy Jandreau Roy a good monitor makes For on the job he is never late. He knows his work from beginning to end. And those who do wrong to the office he sends. 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.

14 THE TATLER Giro Lampiasi Giro is good with a fiddle and a bow, Some day he’ll be the leader of a show; The other day while playing for the mayor, He lost his bow watching the piano player. Leroy Lament Leroy Lamont a bell hop sure will be. For he hops and buzzes like a bumble bee; His mother is beside herself with joy, To have such an industrious boy. Thelma Lees A quiet girl is Thelma Lees, With her homework is at ease; But oh, the next day you’ll find out. She doesn’t know what it’s all about. Leo Lepore I know a boy who’s very bright. And on his violin he plays with all his might; At his homework he studies ever- more, I think you know, it’s Leo Lepore. Amelia Lezone Amelia Lezone so bright and gay, Always brings a smile into 8A. In her studies she’s always bright. And does her work with all her might. Florence Luke Florence is so quiet in school Yet there is an exception to this rule. If you want to know Florence at all. Just see her in a game of ball. Alexander Marinaccio Alexander talks all the while. He says such funny things we have to smile. Nevertheless he’s very wise For there’s little escaping his bright eyes. Louise Melfa Louise Melfa is full of jest. And always tries her very best. She sits and dreams all through the day. But after school is out she’s very gay. Jennie Middlear Listen, my children, and you shall hear. Of a girl who got A’s and B’s this year; Jennie Middlear is her name. And in high school she’ll do the same. John Midowski John has been thinking How fine everything would seem If there were no schools in Enfield Life would be one sweet dream. Martin Mika Martin, a new classmate. Is always on time and never late. At all times he studies hard. He’s sure of A’s and B’s on his card. 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,
