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,

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.
