THE TATLER 7 playing an organ in a church. She was the best organist in St. Louis. I looked into another box and saw Walter Kostek as a newspaper editor with John Podosek as his manager. I had seen them all! What fun it had been! Such an enjoyable after- noon! Now that I know where to locate them, I may some day be able to visit them in their various walks of life. JINGLES Catherine Alaimo Catherine is a girl very fair And in all her work she’s right there, Such a pleasing way has she That we all admire her, you see. Norman Andersen Norman Anderson is never sad But sometimes he gets quite mad. He catches on the Enfield team And they say he’s got some steam. Olive Armour Olive Armour of Grade 8B Is very coy as you shall see. And when she’s big without a doubt She will be one to gad about. Charles Arnone Clickety clack, Clickety clack. We hear a crowd in the hall. But we find its only Charles, And not a crowd at all. El eanor Bailes There is a girl whose name is Bailes And in our school she never ails. She comes to join us every day In a very coy and happy way. Andrew Bak Andrew Bak is quite a lad When he’s good he’s not so bad. He tries his best to do his part That’s why Andrew is so smart. Alene Bilodeau Alene is a little shy Although she has a very bright eye, She is pretty and weighs many a pound Just see her blush when Norman’s around. Irene Blackburn Irene Blackburn is peevish and shy, Miss Taggart scolds .her to make her try. I’ll admit she blushes with shame. But thinks she’ll get there just the same. Nicholas Bosco Nicholas is a nice little boy None of the teachers does he annoy. He studies ever so hard And is trying to get A’s on his card. George Bridge George Bridge is a reliable bov And he’s always happy and full of joy, He’s always ready to do his work And you cqn be sure he’ll never shirk. Marion Broege Oh, Marion Broege, she combines m one girl So many characteristics, I cannot describe in any one word Or pin her down by statistics. Robert Bromage Robert Bromage is always happy in school. He seems to know each rule. He likes to play baseball fair and square. And does his work with greatest care. Chester Butler Chester Butler dear, dear, dear. Always talking all the year Could he stop ? I don’t think so For his tongue is always on the go. Gordon Campbell There is a boy named Gordon Camp- bell, And a lawyer he is going to be. But before he can be a lawyer He’s got to learn his a b c. Michael Carenzo Michael Carenzo is a boy of 8C And sure enough he’s full of glee.
