Mary Dynia Smiling and helpful all the day, Mary can work and Mary can play. She always has her homework done. Or how could she belong to 8B1 ? Eugene Field Eugene Field lives near our school And never does he break a rule. In French Class he says he forgot his book. But we wonder if he’s searched in every nook. William French William belongs to the 8C class, And like others, thinks he’ll pass. To school he doesn’t come each day, And when he does, expects to play. Roberta Frew Roberta has blitheness and grace And always seems to set the pace. She is known and liked by all. Fat, short, slim, and tall. Eleanor Furey A girl by the name of Eleanor Furey I know. Who always lets the sunny side of her show, Eleanor is a member of the 8B1 Class And on a whole she sure is a peppy lass. John Galimberti John Galimberti, a very small lad. Isn’t ever very sad.

And everyone’s admiration she does win. Mary Giorgiole Full of laughter and full of fun Is Mary Giorgiole of 8B1. For Mary is gay as a lass could be, A friend of all, as you may see. Allyn Gourlie “Hurry! hurry! get out of my way!” That’s what you always hear him say. If you don’t watch out you’ll meet your doom. When Monsieur Gourlie enters the room. Donald Gourlie Donald Gourlie, our class tease. Bothering girls he’ll never cease. In his seat he’s never found. Until Miss Taggart on his track is bound. Thomas Gray Thomas Gray can pitch a curve. That can weaken the strongest nerve, When we strike the ball’s not there. And all we do is hit the air.
