Anthony Delao Who is this healthy lad Never sad, always glad? Why it’s Anthony Delao of 8C Whom in High School we shall see. Nicholas Dell ’Aquila Nicholas Dell ’Aquila is not very tall He never plays with the girls at all. Talking and laughing used to be his aim. But now that he’s back he’s not quite the same. William Devine William Devine is a poet quite fine. And for literature contests he’s sure to sign. The class enjoys his stories too For his thoughts sure ring true. Lena Di Sciacca Next is Lena — so shy And yet very hard does she try Oral English was her hardest task To be excused was all that she’d ask. Caroline Drost Who is that laughing so loud and gay? Why it’s Caroline Drost, who’s ready to play. Caroline, some day will learn a rule And never again will she fool. Karol Dubiel One, two. three, four, Karol Dubiel is in his store. Out of doors he loves to play And is he healthy. I’ll say. Constance Emanuele Constance is a pretty lass Her studies are prepared for every class.

Joseph Fiori The so-called “Professor” of 8B2 Boys like Joseph are few. Recently he bought some glasses But dropped them looking at some lasses. Carmelina Gaetani Carmelina as officer of a room Pias sent more than one person to his doom. Although she has taken many a name We know she is not the one to blame.

Alexander Gracewski Alexander is a verv small lad In school he’s anvthing but sad. His serious mind will win him first place When a business career he has to face.
