A. D. HIGGINS JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 19 A rule lived up to, like this one Will bring hdizabeth happiness and fun. Henry Mangerian Henry is a small, short lad. Whispering in school is his fad.

To arrange special programs is her plan. Edith McCray Edith is mild and very kind. The sort of a person — hard to find. If anyone is looking for a friend, Upon Edith McCray you can depend. John McNulty John McNulty sleeps all day And in his studies he is far away. But when playing baseball with his friends. Out into the field the ball he sends.

Joseph Nasiita Joseph Nasuta, fat and stout. Goes a-fishing for a trout. He surely likes to skate; He talks as if he were in a debate. Ruth Noble Ruth is beauty itself it seems. She sits around and dreams and dreams. Her bright blue eyes and curly hair Are the envy of others not so fair. Sophie Nosal Chatter, chatter, chatter, Whnt can be the matter? Sophie must be close at hand She’s great on noise you understand.
