18 THE TATLER Myrtle Olschafskie Myrtle delights in making candy Which we’ll all admit is just dandy, For when a party day comes round Myrtle’s candy is everywhere to be found. Corabel Oliver Here is a girl we know quite well, A comical joke sometimes she’ll tell. With short blonde hair and eyes that twinkle. And in her face never a wrinkle. Mellie Palilla Mellie takes a pride in her hair. In this we also take a share. In this respect she is not vain. If so t’would be indeed a shame. Jennie Parvelac Jennie Parvelac is very lady-like. She never rides for she likes to hike. There’s always a twinkle in her eye She was never known to sigh. Anthony Pascucci Tony Pascucci of 8B3. Is as polite a boy as any could be. He seldom comes out to play For he’s helping his father all the day. Katherine Petrakis “Save me, save me!” someone screams. Using her voice to its full means, Katherine Petrakis — why yes, of course. Practicing dramatics with all her force! Karolyn Pilch Karolyn Pilch has curly black hair. For the boys she does not care. But any boy is apt to say. I’ll take Karolyn any day. Honorata Piorek Honorata has scattered many seeds. In her record of good and helpful deeds. She is courteous, sweet, and shy And on her word you can rely. Alfred Pohorylo Alfred Pohorylo, a very small boy. Many of the teachers he does annoy. He asks many foolish questions each day. He asks them just to have something to say. Edward Pohorylo Everybody thinks Edward is quite smart, you know. Maybe it’s because he likes History so. Edward likes to talk and fool. But just the same he’s in time for school. Stella Pohorylo Stella is a smiling lass. Prepared for work in every class. And in the morning when to school she does come. She surely has her home work done. Anthony Poloski Anthony is much too full of joy. For such a little boy. But when it comes to settling down, Anthony can do so, but with a frown. Antonio Porcello Tony likes to play all day. Always something he must say. The girls he likes very much. Could you imagine a boy who acted such ? Andrew Prayzner Andrew is liked by small and tall For he is fair and square to all. The Yankee team some day he’ll make. And Babe Ruth’s record he will break. Thelma Quinlan Over the pages and through the book, That’s Thelma Quinlan taking a look, For she knows that a test she must take. And a passing mark she must make. Francis Quinn Who is that boy scribbling away Like a machine running all day? It’s Francis Quinn spending his time. Trying to make his poem rhyme. Poppy Raissi In our class there is a girl. Who always has a little curl. The gayest one in all the class. Is this jolly little lass, Doris Reil Doris is quite a merry lass. Did you know she belongs to the 8A Class ?
