A. D. HIGGINS JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 15 From working he seldom does refrain, A look at his card will that explain. Harry Greaves Oh “gee whiz” That’s all we hear in a quiz If it isn’t the petit young man Who does his work the best he can. Josephine Grimaldi Josephine Grimaldi so very tall Is Rose’s friend, as you’ll recall She’d rather sew than eat. As a seamstress she is very neat. Enrico Guala Who is that lad of 8B2 Always talking and with nothing to do ? Enrico Guala you all might know Sure enough he’s on with the show. Emil Haber Emil so big and tall Towers over nearly all. “School was never meant for me,” Says Emil quite dramatically. Horace Harris Horace Harris likes to play with the girls And he also likes their curls But when they want him to take them to a show, As you can guess, his money is low. Bernice Henry Bernice Henry on the bus does come From way down Enfield — rural dis- trict No. 1, Rain or shine she’s on the spot. Away from school she’s never caught. Carl Holt Carl is very seldom heard In class to speak a single word. He simply will not tell The thoughts that in his mind do dwell. Donald Holt Donald Holt in 8B2 you’ll see. A large boy for his age is he. On his bicycle he’s always found And on the streets, he rides around. Edward Jarose A fair-haired boy is he And usually full of glee. Always particular about his clothes Is Edward Jarose whom everyone knows. Andrew Jedziniak Andrew Jedziniak is a boy Who fun sure does enjoy. A school enthusiast is not his kind For he has other interests on his mind. Leon Jedziniak Leon’s a first-hand merchant by trade Selling suit after suit of fabrics just made. Hark and listen to the ding, ding, ding. It’s Leon making the cash-register sing. Irvin Johnson Irvin Johnson is a scout At every hike he does turn out. Although Irvin is somewhat small With his friendliness he beats us all. Franksly Kazmierski Franksly is a lad so joyful and gay A broad smile on his face does stay. He puts his foot down on a person who’s glum. To beat Franksly and his mirth, you’ve got to go some. Pearl King Pearl King is a quiet girl in school And tries to obey the golden rule. She studies her lessons with all her might But she suays up too late at night. Adela Klaus Quite short and very fair. Big blue eyes and golden hair. Not hard to guess of whom we speak Adela Klaus a lass so meek. Rose Kolodriez Rose, with dark, brown hair In every class she is there She’s always busy, as we can see. And she bothers neither you nor me. Leo Kupeck Leo is a very helpful lad In nice, neat garments he is clad An errand boy is his fancy. For he banks school funds for Miss Clancy. Stanley Kupeck Crack! and the ball soared in the air The fielder missed it by a hair. Stanley Kupeck ran around first base Just in time to give Higgins first place.
