A. D. HIGGINS JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 15 She’s quiet and shy and never has much to say. Her work is said to be done with care, And when classes begin she’s always there. Stanley Cogtella Stanley delights in being a boss And sometimes to the class is cross, But never mind we’ll find him yet A politician you just bet. Carlo Colarusso Who’s that boy of 8B3 so tali. Who’s always loitering in the hall? As an expert in aviation. He has our greatest admiration. Joseph Colletti Joseph’s poems have earned him fame In every “Tatler” you’ll find his name. He writes with grace and ease; A natural poet — who is sure to please. Hugh Combs There it goes loop the loop. Into a tailspin and then a scoop. You’d think it was someone insane But it’s only Hugh Combs trying his airplane. Helen Crosson Who is the girl so tall and slight With hair and eyes so very bright? It’s Helen Crosson as you must know. She’s not one who goes in for show. Genia Cygan Genia Cygan has — that school-girl complexion — And in the mirror looks for her reflec- tion. In orchestra she is an active member Genia is a girl we all remember. Eleanor Davis The quietest girl in all the school With manner calm and very cool. Extremely modest and rather shy — But Eleanor as a student ranks very high. Clark Dempsey Clark Dempsey likes to write And “Tatler” work he’ll never slight. He uses his mind to its best extent A habit which Clark will never repent. Charles Destro Where the sweet music comes from is quite a riddle. But we know it’s Charles Destro play- ing his fiddle. His talented fingers are on the strings. Clear as a bell, his music rings. Peter Di Rosa Who is that boy that communicates so long? It’s Peter Di Rosa still going strong. He never gets tired of moving his jaw. Which we all know is against the school law. Evelyn Dixon Evelyn Dixon likes dramatics. For her costumes she goes to the attics; She surely has a fine complexion. For an actress she’s our selection. Stanley Doyker Stanley Doyker, a farmer’s son. In the classroom is full of fun. You may see him with tools in hand, While working diligently on his land. Stella Dusza I know a girl who’s in great demand An excellent job she is sure to land. She writes for the “Tatler,” and prints on the board And the teachers all vote for her with one accord. Amelia Dynia Amelia Dynia is quite small Has red hair and is friendly to all. She and Sophie you will always see Talking from nine to half past three. Teddy Dynia Teddy is both short and gay. And he’s always happy. I’m glad to say. On him they try to play a trick. But you don’t beat him in arithmetic. Howard Edgar Howard, the farmer, with eyes of blue. On his face there are freckles, too. He is very bashful indeed, For the girls he takes no heed. Esther Faiman Enter Esther — a fine student you’ll admit. Does she bluff — no not a bit. She’s on to her job both morn and night. She’ll reach her goal all right.
