22 THE TATLER CLASS WILL Knowing all men by these presents that we, the graduates of the A. D. Higgins School, Town of Enfield, County of Hartford, State of Con- necticut, the Class of 1930 make their last will and testament. Since we, the Class of 1930, are firm believers in the old saying: “Give to the world the best you have, And the best will come back to you.” We have decided to dispose of some of our very valuable possessions to the incoming Class of 1931. We sin- cerely hope that they will appreciate our great kindness and will use these ’ ' valuable gifts to the best of their knowledge. It gives us great pleasure to bestow them in the following man- ner: Item 1. We wish to thank our Superintendent, Mr. Parkman, our Principal, Miss Clancy, and all of the teachers for their fine cooperation and helpfulness. Item 2. We leave with regret the fine eighth grade teachers. Item 3. Clara Czyzewska leaves the cloth for the next pupil who has the job of cleaning Miss Taggart’s car. Item 4. Bryce Leggett is leaving his knowledge to Donald Comrie of 7 A who will take his place. Item 5. The Class of 1930 is leav- ing the school library, which we es- tablished, to th e future eighth grade, hoping they will read all its contents. Item 6. We are leaving Miss Tag- gart’s front seats for the boys who will have the opportunity to erase her boards. Item 7. We leave in Room 5 our gold fish bowl and all its contents therein for the next 8B2 class Item 8. We leave our Conduct Books for the Class of 1931. Item 9. We are leaving the Bas- ketball Championship and the cup to the next Basketball team. May they retain them! Item 10.

Francis Shea leaves the string with which he makes the “cat’s cradle” to the person who occupies his seat. Item 12. We leave the new “Moral Code for Youth” for the next class. Item 13. Vincent Shea leaves his wonderful power of perseverance to any boy in the future eighth grade who may need it. Item 14. Leo Zirolli leaves his deep bass voice to Irving Johnson. Item 15.

A. D. HIGGINS JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 21 Vincy Vesce Vincy Vesce is a happy lass Who’s never late for any class, She seldom ever likes to fool And hardly ever breaks a rule. Helen Viniconis Who is that girl so fair Who comes to school with curled hair? It’s Helen Viniconis, our classmate. Who waits for the bus at her gate. Margaret Viniconis A tall, slim girl is she, A school teacher she wants to be. A little wave is in her hair. To describe her more I wouldn’t dare. Sophie Walenta Sophie is tall, young and fair. Which makes her known most every- where. She likes to talk and laugh, I know. For haven’t I often seen her so? Shirley Walker Shirley is as industrious as she can be Composing plays for you and me. She’ll be rich and happy we are assured When her fame as an author is secured. Frances Wasowicz Frances always likes to play With a bat and ball on a fair day. She is always gay, rain or shine Nothing can disturb her peace of mind. Cecelia Wojcik There is a girl whom I know Whose work is always done just so. Her school work is always neat And is never incomplete. Edward Wojnar Girls are Edward’s life and joy. He likes them too well for a boy. He’d better wake up on some present date Because in the future it will be too late. Stella Wojnar Stella is excellent in all her work, And from her duties does not shirk. She is our brightest lass. And of course belongs to the 8A Class. William Yesukiewicz William likes to hunt and fish. Nothing better could he wish. He helps his father on the farm, A song bird he would never harm. Jane Zaczyk There is a newcomer in our school, A girl who in class never does fool. Jane Jaczyk is her name. Pretty and bright is her fame. Mary Zareski Mary takes great time and care Never has a minute to spare. Any work she’s asked to undertake Is always completed without mistake. Joseph Zawada Joseph likes to fool and play. Arithmetic is his best subject in a way. Everyone likes to see him in his seat, Because he comes to school so neat. Sigmont Zekowski Sigmont Zekowski sits in school all day. And hasn’t very much to say. We’ll bet that he can his lessons do. But is just too lazy to. Genevieve Zemont Genevieve, a good sewer is she. In Domestic Science class she is sure to be. The first one to finish anything. She also has ability to sing. Leo Zirolli Leo Zirolli is a very big boy. The teachers he does always annoy. I’d hate to be in his shoes. When his report card brings home the news. Joseph Zyck Of all the boys I ever met Joseph Zyck is the funniest yet. When it comes to telling jokes, Joseph likes to fool the folks. “Nothing,” said the speaker, “that is false, does anyone any good.” A voice from the audience. “Huh! Did you ever trv eating rump steak without any teeth?” Clerk — “Do you want mild or strong cigars, madame?” ' “Give me the strongest you have, please. The last ones my husband had, broke in his pocket.”
