Chester Sienko Do you see that boy just sitting there and grinning? But listen folks, that’s only the be- ginning. Now you’ll hear a loud guffaw. Oh that’s Chester Sienko whom you just saw. John Silansky Come, come, all gather near The tale of John Silansky you must hear. In basketball he’s quite a star To find one better, you would travel far. Doris Sisitzky There is a girl who’s very smart In our assemblies, Doris always takes part. Winning essay contests is her goal — All in all, she’s a most ambitious soul. Leonard Slaybard Leonard Slaybard likes to read In literature he should succeed. Leonard is a Boy Scout At camp you should hear him shout. Jeanette Smith One look at Jeanette and you will see. That she is just as neat as can be. Because she wants to pass in school, Jeanette never likes to fool. Raymond Smith Now Raymond Smith is tall and thin And filled with joy and fun within. He’s a pupil of 8B2 Who is seldom seen with nothing to do. Harvey Snyder To be tardy for school is Harvey’s fate Maybe he goes to bed too late. We’ll buy him a watch or maybe a car If it’s because he lives so far. Robert Spier Who is this that is graduating this year ? Why of course, how silly of me, it’s Robert Spier. In science he rates high But in spelling, oh me! oh my! Arnold Squires Arnold’s face is bright and cheery. Of his questions, we all grow weary. His mind is quick and his thoughts are bright — But his tongue never brings them out just right. Eleanor Steele Eleanor Steele is a popular lass. And was chosen Secretary of Miss White’s class. She is neat and dresses just so. Many good things about her do we know. Frank Strycharz High up in the air How he can fly; Frank Strycharz, the artist. The pride of Junior High. Walter Strycharz Walter Strycharz a good politician is he. For his speaking he should get a de- gree. We hope the world will give him a square deal. So that his speaking abilities he can reveal. Frank Sypek Frank Sypek is small and short. And is also a good sport. He often works with the baker. That is why he’s a good money maker. Stanley Swiattowski Please listen to this jingle one and all It concerns Stanley, ready at Miss Clancy’s call. The President of the Student Council is his fate A great honor — now ' let me state. Taddy Szczepanek Taddy Szczpanek whom we all know. To trade school he is going to go. A machinist he hopes to be. Good luck to our president of 8B3! Bessie Szuflat We’re proud to have Bessie on the honor roll. She tried so hard with might and soul.
