CLASS BOOK OF NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR B •uni ' iwoinuim 8 ETTA M. WEINER “The cynosure of neighboring eyes.” Arsenal School; H. Glee Club (3), president (3), W. Glee Club (4), pres¬ ident (4); Pin Committee (4); Student Council (4); Historian (4). What would our class be without Eddy, and what, oh what would The Bond be without her every Saturday night? FANNIE WERNICK “If thou art sleeping, maiden, wake and open up they door.” Northwest School. We know she was with us because we saw her in her seat each morning. Yet what her ability is, beyond being pleasant to all who come in contact with her, we know very little about. SARAH R. YOULOVSKY “Slow and easy.” Northeast School; W. French Club (4); Classical Club (4). Sarah may be slow, but nevertheless she gets there. CATHERINE PLATO “ Her modest demeanor ‘twas a pleasure to know.” Arsenal School. Have you noticed any of Catherine’s hand-made dresses? She spends much of her time in the sewing room and makes them with her own fair hands.

These posts are not planted by time, but are set by ourselves. Tonight is class night. Hence it is indeed a grand and fitting occa¬ sion for us to assemble within these hallowed walls to drive a new post to mark the gradua¬ tion of the class of 1924, the first and proud offspring of the Weaver High School. It is here that the students have learned to cultivate cheerfulness in thought and ex¬ pression, and sociability in association and inclination; and it is here that our fondest recollections will revert, as we pass by each recurring milepost, with more and more solemnity. As far as we are concerned, there are three main reasons for having class night exercises. The first is to make us forget our troubles and be happy. Now we are perfectly justified in being happy, for we no longer have to look forward to the dread of examinations, and our books have been sent back to the book-room. The second is to uncover any talent which may be lying dormant within us. Probably the history will be such a success that the historians will conceive of the idea of writing histories as a future profession. Who knows but what some musician, inspired by the over¬ whelming applause, will pursue his study of music with more zeal and become a genius? The third purpose is one that suggests vocational guidance. That is, if a boy is planning to study medicine, probably the prophet will tell him that he would make a better janitor than a doctor; or if a girl is contemplating becoming a school teacher, the prophetess may tell her that she would make a better stenograph er. Of course, if any of the members of the graduating class have made decisions as to what courses of study they will pursue in the higher fields of education, it is my advice that they make no alterations in their decisions until they have consulted their principal or teachers. As for you, our guests, we realize that you all have your troubles. We know how hard it is to keep maids for more than two months. We realize that trouble you have in making your Fords run on all four cylinders. We know what difficulty you have in getting, your children to go to school on a fine spring morning. For these reasons we have ar¬ ranged a program whereby we may all enjoy ourselves. Therefore, in the name of the class of 1924, I want to take this opportunity to bid you all a cordial welcome. ISADORE LEVINE, Class Night Chairman.
