A. D. HIGGINS JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 21 Raymond Schneider Five feet, five, with eyes of blue. Blond curly hair, and a merry smile, too; He’s been our president all the year. That Raymond is popular is very clear. Kenneth Schoppe Kenneth Schoppe is a very bright boy. His heart is always full of joy; I have never seen him stay after school. And he never has very much time to fool. Amelia Shanko Now Amelia Shanko next in line. As a girl she’s quite fine; She’s often seen, but seldom heard. Unless to give a needed word. Harriet Sheehan Harriet Sheehan a secretary wants to be. And such a happy girl you don’t often see; Her school work she always loves to do. What else? She’s Irish through and through.

Thomas Smyth Thomas Smyth of 8B3, A successful milkman we predict he’ll be; For a fine president he has made, And as Treasurer saw that all the dues were paid. Margaret Thompson Margaret, so modest and demure. Always is a heart-ache cure; “Silence is Golden,” her belief. To the teachers is quite a relief. Richard Snyder Richard Snyder, in the Class of 8A, Studies the biggest part of the day; But when his studies come to an end. He finds that a magazine is his best friend. Rose St. George Rose St. George is very small. At school I see her playing ball; In penmanship she does real well. And is always in school before the bell.

Florence Szela Florence Szela has light blonde hair, In her subjects she is fair; But whether it’s in work or play. She always helps in every way. Raymond Therrien Who’s that good sport of 8B1? Reading books is his best fun; As a detective he has earned great fame. Why, Raymond Therrien, of course, is his name. Madison Tower Madison Tower loves to read. And in class he pays no heed; For he says the book is quite fine To leave right at this time. Alfred Typronsay Alfred Typronsay, lithe and slim. Always seems to be full of vim; He paints in school from morning till noon. At this rate he’ll be an artist soon. Thomas Vella Thomas Vella will win great fame. And everywhere we will see his name; A talented artist he is sure to be.
