A. D. HIGGINS JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 17 Philip Larussa Philip Larussa has worked in a shoe repairer’s shop, But Trade School in Hartford may- be his next stop; He’s friendly and happy and a good sport, too. Every one likes Philip of 8B2. Elizabeth Leete Betty Leete plays baseball, we hear. Her fame in this sport has spread far and near; Though like a tomboy, she’s dainty and sweet, A girl with more friends you seldom will meet. James Lepore James Lepore, a boy of 8A, Never has too much to say; Of all the subjects he could pick. He always takes Arithmetic. Tony Luicci Tony Luicci is a very quiet lad.

Why it’s Louise Maggio, I declare; She looks so pretty every day. And always is so happy and gay. Sam Magill Sam Magill, our well known friend. Much time in athletics he does spend; Always on the run or go. He’ll be a star athlete, I know. Alice Malides Alice Malides who always wears a smile. Is never really blue but is happy all the while; To everyone she is very kind, A better girl you will never find. William Mangini Come, come, all gather near. For the tale of William Mangini you must hear; In drawing he is quite a star. For one like him you must travel far. Jerry Maniscalchi Jerry Maniscalchi, so tall and slim. Always wears a pleasant grin; His favorite subject is art. In drawing periods he’s ready to start. Rose Maniscalchi Rose Maniscalchi is a real friend. With Mary Pallila her time she does spend; Her work in Arithmetic is of the best. So an A on her card she does possess. Michael Marinaccio Michael Marinaccio, a printer’s son. Plays never till his work is done; In school he is fairly smart. And always willing to do his part. Frank Mastaliz Frank Mastaliz, a basketball star. In athletics we believe will go far; In his studies he is fair in school. And tries to observe the golden rule. Fannie Maxellon Fannie Maxellon has short blonde hair. And to go with it a complexion fair; Always smiling, with eyes of blue. She’s always happy and honest, too. Alexander Mika When it comes to writing stories, Alex Mika can’t be beat; But we wish we had a little glue. To keep him in his seat. Ralph Miller Who is that boy so thin and gay. Who peddles his papers both night and day? Why it’s Ralph Miller whom we all know. And when his task is done to the baseball field he’ll go.
