And is always a maid quite demure. Julia Kozial Julia Kozial has nice light hair. At chorus she is always there. In school she is happy and gay. And loves to help others in any way. Andrew Krause Andrew, I’ve been thinking Wohldn’t it be a lot of fun If when you had finished reciting The teachers all could say “Well done.” Joseph Krzys When the final bell has rung And history class has begun. We notice a boy clad in brown. Who in history we can never down. Edmond Kukulka On the Yankee team some day he’ll star And never will their record mar. Porky — as is universally his name. Higher and higher will soar to fame. Mabel Kurley To gain success and happiness, Mabel, You must take and turn your table. Come prepared in every way. Do more work and have less play. Frank Kwapien Frank annoys the teachers in just one way And this annoyance does not him pay. He loves to chew his gum in school Which is even worse than trying to fool. Emma LaMore Emma LaMore, so quiet and neat. Is always to be found in her seat. You’d know without a doubt That she is a real Girl Scout. Margarette Landry You can tell Margarette by her dress, Very short, I must confess. She is A D.’s famed dancer. And our tiniest little prancer. M. Bryce Leggett Do you know a boy with very fair hair And azure eyes, I do declare? Why he’s our pride and joy, Bryce Leggett, our brightest boy. Gertrude Lehmann Gertrude’s father owns a shop. When people want cream pufis, there they stop. Gertrude eats the cream puffs one and all. That’s why she is so big and tall. Walter Ligenza If a boy to take a good example from, you want to meet, Walter Ligenza is this treat. For he is Johnny on the spot And has his homework ready on the dot. Joseph Loguidice Joseph Loguidice chooses the lasses. And thinks of them during Ms classes. He seldom studies for he thinks he needs a rest. We all know why he doesn’t do his best. Dorothy MacFawn Full of laughter and full of fun, This is Dorothy when work is done. A great bookkeeper some day she’ll be For she is famed for accuracy. Frances Maggio Frances Maggio is a neat young girl. Who always wears her hair in curl. She’s as quiet and happy as a lass could be. This Frances Maggio of 8C.
