12 THE TATLER CLASS JINGLES Catherine Alaimo Catherine Alaimo whose father keeps provisions, Is very wise in her decisions. In 8BI we find her seat, And her desk is always neat. Mary Alaimo Mary Alaimo outside of school. Practices upon her piano stool. A great musician she may be. For she shows ability. Joseph Alaimo Who’s that boy sweeping the floor? Why it’s Joe Alaimo in his father’s store; Behind the counter chopping meat Or on the truck his friends he’ll greet. Nancy Alaimo Nancy Alaimo is a studious girl. Her straight hair has never a curl. In her notebooks she gets A, And has not been absent a single day. Vinci Alaimo Vinci the voice of the world around With her oratory powers covers ground. She’ll argue for this and then you’re to blame Speeches and Vinci are one and the same. Jennie Albano Jennie Albano who has very much to say. Doesn’t always do it in the proper way. She is very talkative in her own home room. But in English class she uses who for whom. Susie Albano Who’s that girl of 8B2 Who always has something to do? Why, it’s Susie as we all know. When school’s dismissed she says “Let’s go!” Ella Amato Ella is pleasant and Ella is fine. Ella is always and forever on time. She is playful but studious and always neat. If you know our Ella you know a treat. Angelina Angelica Our Angelina is the teacher’s pearl. She has very red cheeks but n’er a curl. She comes to school ahead of time So all her work wdll be done by nine. Vincetta Angelica Of our dressmaker we are proud. Miss Gager sings her praises loud. Her work shows style and neatness, too; Like her we find but very few. Frances Antinore Frances Antimore is a jolly girl. Her dark hair has many a curl; The teacher’s notes she takes around. And in her work to improve she is bound. Sam Attardi With a clip and a clap, and a bing, bang, boom. It’s little Sam Attardi entering the room! He makes so much noise with his feet. It sounds like a horse out in the street. Antonia Bajek Antonia Bajek has light, red hair Which we observe she brushes with care. We know that for candy she is keen, And down at Grant’s store she is often seen. Helen Baltronis Helen always hears the trains w hiz by And sees all the “Kingfishers” in the sky. The reason for this as most everyone knows, Is because by her door the Connecticut River flows. Joseph Bania Joseph Bania is quiet and nice Before he speaks, he first thinks twice. A very fine character he does conceal. We wish these secrets he would reveal. Edwin Barszcz Edwin Barszcz is a lazy boy, And often others he does annoy; Just sits in his seat all day, Never likes to work, but loves to play.
