It was at first thought impossible to publish this volume, but due to the splendid and enthusiastic support of the class, this project has been finally realized. Throughout this work it has been the aim of the board to offer you worth-while material. We have added several features, and it will be noticed that the individual “write-ups’ are considerably longer than those of the previous issue. Although this book has appeared late, through some regrettable circumstances, we hope that this will not noticeably detract from your enjoyment of this volume. We hope that in years to come this book will serve to inspire pleasurable reminiscences, and will help you to renew old acquaintances. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We wish to thank all those who have in any way helped in the preparation of this book. The Board is especially indebted to Mr. Crowell of the faculty for proofreading; and to Bluma Greenberg and Ida Levy for stenographic work. We also wish to acknowledge the generous support of the Hartford business men, whose aid has to a great extent insured the financial success of this publication. 5. G.

BARRETT “I don ' t believe in worrying ” St. Patrick’s School: Weaver Glee Club (3. 4), Treasurer (3), Libra¬ rian (4); Weaver Rifle Club (4), Vice-President (4), Rifle Team (4); H. Boys’ Club (2, 3) : Weaver Football Squad (4) ; H. and W. A. A. (1. 2, 3, 4) ; Class Book Editorial Board (4). Take a peep at this fellow. He’s not bad to look at. is he? He carried off the honors for being the best-looking and the cutest boy in the class. It is a well-known fact that everyone can tell when Jack” is around. Whether it is because of sheikish influence, or his restless vocal cords, is something we cannot tell. In spite of all this “Jack” is a good fellow. He intends to go into the construction busi¬ ness and build a name for himself. BESSIE R. BECKER “Not stepping o’er the bounds of modesty.” Arsenal School ; Weaver Girls’ Business Club (4) ; Program Com¬ mittee (4) ; W. A. A. (4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4). We don’t know very much about “Bebe.” She is a rather quiet, smiling girl who goes about her business without much fuss. She is also an active member of the “8.29 Society”, the most inclusive and popular group in the class. However, we are certain that Bebe” will not drop into obscurity after graduation. EDGAR R. COLES A lion among the ladies.” Northeast School; Weaver Science Club (4), Secretary (4) ; W. A. A. (4) : Chairman of Reception Committee (4). We find it rather surprising, but no less true, that Edgar seems to have a greater liking for the fairer sex than for his studies. This may partly account for the fact that his report card does not bristle entirely with A’s. Edgar’s fame rests in his reputation as a lady- killer. We have often wondered how he does it and here’s the secret— he has just finished Nora Knockoff’s course on “How to Make Love in Four Lessons.” If you don’t believe us, just ask a certain young lady of the class of ’26B. She ought to know. 9 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL MARION E. CRANE “Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful.” Northwest School; Tawasi Club (1, 2) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4) : Vesta Club (3) ; H. and W. A. A. (3, 4). Everlasting wonders! The class of ’25A has at least one sensible member ! Marion is almost everything that we are not, but not the one thing that we are—“bobbed.” It certainly must be a “grand and glorious feeling” never to be late for school, nor lose your temper, nor do any of the terrible stunts we roughnecks do. We wonder will she always be quiet? MARTHA B. CROSBY “I only speak right on.” Northwest School ; H. and W. A. A. (2, 3, 4) ; C. H. L. S. (4) ; Art Club (4); W. Girls’ League (4); Class Basketball (2, 3, 4), Manager (3) ; Class Baseball (2, 3, 4) ; W. Classical Club (4). “Betty” is the Amazon of our class, and no wonder—she has taken part in all of the class athletics and has done well in them, too. But in class “Betty” is not so conspicuous. Speaking in terms of Radio we would decidedly not call her a Loud Talker. Outside of class she is not so quiet; we can say without exaggeration that she is voluble, but then—so was Cicero. Wellesley College is “Betty’s” destination after she gets her diploma. ROBERT J. FENN “Men of few words are the best men.” St. Joseph’s School; Greek Club (2, 3); W. A. A. (4); H. Boys’ Club (2, 3). Patience is a virtue! After much careful watching, we have dis¬ covered that Robert makes four brilliant recitations per day, but no amount of waiting surprises him into uttering one word of conversa¬ tion. What’s the deep, dark secret, Robert? 10 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL RUTH B. FINE Good things come in small packages.” Northwest School; Ingleside Club (4); Program Committee (4); W. A. A. (4) : W. Girls’ League (4) ; Tawasi Club (3) ; Weaver Dramatic Club (4), Roister Doister” (4) ; Weaver Art Club (4). A witty, sparkling, little Miss is “Ruthy”, or “Peewee” as she is sometimes called. She’s always talking or reciting at something or other,—being an elocutionist of no mean ability. She and her broom played a prominent part in “Roister Doister”, the Dramatic Club Play. Ruthy” intends to go to the School of Dramatic Art in New York and we expect that some day her name will be blazoned on the “Great White Way.” Don’t forget your schoolmates, Ruthy”, when you open up on Broadway. MARTIN W. FRITH “Give me work—and then, more work.” Northwest School; H. and W. A. A. (1, 2, 4) ; H. Technical Club (3) : Weaver Science Club (4) ; Boys’ Glee Club (4) ; Chronicle” (4), W. Business Manager (4). If you don’t know Martin, he’s the lad who sports the hip-boots and cowboy shirt around the corridors every rainy day. He is very bright in mathematics and mechanics. In fact, he is so bright that his mother calls him “Sonny.” Martin says he is going to Northeast¬ ern University to study engineering. Well we hope he succeeds, but we can’t figure out what in the world he could engineer unless it were a bicycle. RUTH I. GRANGER The glass of fashion.” Northwest School; Weaver Girls’ Glee Club (3, 4), Treasurer (3), Secretary (4) ; C. H. L. S. (4), Executive Committee (4) ; Upper Choir (3. 4) ; Weaver French Club (4) ; W. A. A. (4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4) ; Color and Motto Committee (4). Here we have an individual who carries an awful sock.” No— Ruth has no pugilistic inclinations, but quite literally she does wear knock-out” stockings. That partly accounts for her reputation as the best dresser in the class. We thought at first that she was to become a dress designer or a model, but Ruth has disillusioned us. She says she’s going to be a nurse. 11 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL BLUMA F. GREENBERG “She has invented history.” Northeast School; W. A. A. (4) ; Weaver Girls’ Business Club (4), Vice-President and Treasurer (4) ; Upper Choir (3, 4) ; Girls’ Glee Club (1) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4) ; Girl Historian (4). Bluma, or “Tootsie”, is a hard working and efficient young lady. She enters everything with a vim and vigor that is an example to the rest of the class; also her obliging nature and pleasing personality have won her many friends. Bluma is good in History, but as an Historian we think she’s much better. We might add that her altru¬ istic nature has prompted her to become a social service worker. We’re sure she’ll be a success. There is one thing about her, however, that we are not so sure of: where did Bluma ever get the nickname of Tootsie” ? RICHARD H. GUNTHER “No, never be it said. That fate itself could awe the soul of Richard.” Northwest School; H. Boys’ Commercial Club (1) ; H. and W. A. A. (2, 3, 4) ; Upper Choir (2, 3, 4) ; Class Book Editorial Board (4). “Dick” is good in all his studies. He is a neat fellow and all his homework shows it. He is interested in dancing, and the girls are interested in “Dick”—because he has the profile of Apollo. “Dick” is going to enter the business world and is going to Boston Univer¬ sity to prepare. Here’s for your success, “Dick.” ALICE E. HOFFMAN “I go quietly among you.” Northwest School; H. and W. Girls’ League (3, 4) ; Upper Choir (2 3, 4) ; H. and W. A. A. (2, 3, 4) ; Tawasi Club (2, 3) ; Class Basket¬ ball (4) ; Class Baseball (4). “Al” is by no means the noisiest in the class, but when she’s with her own bunch—well, that’s a different story! She is interested in gym work and played a good game on the class baseball and basket¬ ball teams. “Al” plans to be a gym teacher, and is to enter the Arnold’s Normal School, where she intends to revise the present sys¬ tem and originate some new methods of her own. 12 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL RAYMOND W. HORNE “When I ope my lips, let no dog bark 1” Northwest School; H. Boys’ Leaders’ Corps (2, 3), President (3); Weaver Boys’ Leaders’ Corps (4), President (4) ; H. and W. Boys’ Glee Clubs (3, 4) ; H. and W. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4) ; H. Boys’ Club (2) ; Class Orator (4). Ray” is an acrobat, an orator, and also a good student. He is a capable fellow, but above all, modest. “Ray” has the unique honor of being three times elected as president of the Boys’ Leaders’ Corps. No, “Ray” isn’t going to be a gym instructor—he’s going to take up a more worthy calling. If you are interested, just ask him about it. FANNIE S. HOROWITZ “As merry as the day is long.” Henry Barnard School; Weaver Girls’ Business Club (4) ; W. A. A. (4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4). Ah, another history shark—how do th ey get that way 1 Fannie is one of that little clique which manages to do most of the shorthand homework between 8.30 and 8.45—another sign of true genius which is so lacking among us. She hasn’t made much noise during her high school course, but perhaps we’d all be better off if we followed her example. BEATRICE Y. JESS But O, she dances such a way 1” Northeast School ; W. A. A. (4) ; Class Basketball (2, 3, 4) ; Class Baseball (2, 3, 4), Manager t4) ; Upper Choir (2, 3, 4), Monitor 4); Glee Club (4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4). A damsel who can “trip the light fantastic toe” to perfection is “Bee.” But that isn’t all by any means. She is an ambitious girl— one who possesses determination and initiative. Just ask anyone what “Bee” did in hunting for ads for our Class Book Business Board. Bee” is also a scholar and a sport. Her success in athletic activities has induced her to become a physical instructor, and she is going to the New Haven Muscle Factory” to train. Best of luck, “Bee.” 13 HELEN E. JETER “High erected thoughts seated in the heart of courtesy.” Northwest School; H. and W. A. A. (3, 4) ; Upper Choir (2, 3, 4) ; W. Art Club (4), Treasurer (4); Interior Decorating Club (4), Vice- President (4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4), President (4) ; Color and Motto Committee (4). She looks like stateliness personified, but really Helen is good fun. Although she has a few “tricks” (whatever they may be) in English, she is one of our few studious members. She has the distinction of being voted the most courteous girl in the class. She has also the honor of being the first president of the Girls’ League. Weaver High and the Girls’ League will always be proud of you, Helen. SOLOMON G. JOHNSON “Versatility personified 1” New Park Avenue School; H. Boys’ Club (2, 3) ; H. and W. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4) ; H. Boys’ Leaders’ Corps (2, 3) ; Junior Usher (3) ; Weaver Debating Club (4), Executive Committee (4) ; Weaver Boys’ Leaders’ Corps (4), Chairman Executive Committee (4), Chairman Trial Com¬ mittee (4) ; Weaver Science Club (4), Vice-President (4) ; President (4) ; Art Club (4) ; Student Council (4), Executive Committee (4) ; First Scholars hip Prize (4) ; Class Chairman (4) ; Valedictorian (4) ; Editor-in-Chief of Class Book (4). Behold ! The idol of the school ! Here we have our class chairman, editor-in-chief, and valedictorian, all in one person. “Sol” has the unusual distinction of holding the three highest offices in the class— yet no one can say that he doesn’t deserve them. He is popular w th all because of his magnetic personality, and his natural way of going about things. Nothing in the line of work can daunt him—a charac¬ teristic which will carry him far. “Sol” has not decided upon his voca¬ tion, but we are sure that he’ll make good in anything that he may try. HELEN E. KANE “With most resplendent hair.” Northwest School; H. and W. A. A. (2, 3, 4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4) ; Student Council (2, 3) ; K. B. L. S. (3) ; Weaver French Club (4), Secretary (4), Chairman of Executive Committee (4) ; C. H. L. S. (4) ; Class Ring Committee (4) ; Class Essayist (4) ; Classical Club (4), Chairman Executive Committee (4). Helen, or “Betty”, as she is more often called, is one of our most popular girls. She has belonged to quite a few clubs and has been prominent in all of them. In French she makes some exceptionally brilliant recitations and in English, too. Well, that’s no wonder; if you will notice the hue of her hair you’ll readily agree that ‘Betty” is well read. 14 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL ■ , , , . . . . -— . SHOLOM E. KAPLAN “A hard (?) worker and an easy sleeper.” Arsenal School : Upper Choir (4) ; H. and W. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4). If “Hot Air” were gold, Sholom Kaplan would be a millionaire. In plainer language we would say: “He possesses an inherent and in¬ alienable propensity for extemporaneous prevarication.” However, Kappy” has a few redeeming qualities. He means well, and at times is a prince of a fellow. He hopes to enter Syracuse next fall, where we sincerely wish that he ' ll make a name for himself and Weaver High. LOTTIE KATZMAN “The best of me is diligence.” Henry Barnard School; Weaver Girls’ Business Club (4) ; W. A. A. (4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4) ; Upper Choir (4) ; Ingleside Club (4), Executive Committee (4). Lottie is going to study music. Let’s hope she doesn ' t become a fanatic genius—one who tears her hair and is always looking for an inspiration. She seems to be as good at pounding the keys of a type¬ writer as those of a piano. We wonder if she likes music as well as she does love stories. MURIEL W. KEHOE “A stranger—but she’s not so strange.”. New Britain Junior High School; Amphion Dramatic Club (N. B. H. S.) ; Weaver Dramatic Club (4), “Roister Doister” (4) ; C. H. L. S (4) ; W. A. A. (4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4) ; Weaver French Club (4), Chairman Executive Committee (4); Class Book Editorial Board (4). Just look at this picture of Muriel. Can’t you imagine a halo above her head? We admit that from outward appearances she does seem serious, credulous, and shy. But she resents being thought so, for she isn’t really. Just ask her! Why once she got a cipher for talking! Can you believe it? You may have noticed that Muriel isn’t well acquainted with us all, but then she is a stranger and comes from N. B. H. S., our beloved ( ?) rival. She has taken an active interest in several clubs, especially the Dramatic Club, and after graduation, in¬ tends to enter George Washington University. 15 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL PEARL KENIG “My mind to me a kingdom is.” Henry Barnard School ; C. H. L. S. (4) ; W. A. A. (4) : Upper Choir (2, 3, 4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4) ; Weaver French Club (4) ; Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3, 4) ; Classical Club (4) ; Salutatorian (4). If you’re looking for a girl who is a hard worker, a keen student, one who puts her best efforts into everything,—Pearl Kenig is the one you’re after. After graduation Pearl plans to enter Smith College. She’s going to be a teacher. Teaching, as you know, requires dignity, and Pearl has plenty of that. She is also a hard worker. Just look at the “Superlatives” if your are skeptical. HELEN I. KLEIN “She is pretty to walk with. And witty to talk with.” Northwest School ; Weaver Girls’ League (4) ; Class Basketball (3, 4) ; Class Baseball (3, 4) ; W. A. A. (4) ; Upper Choir (2, 3, 4) ; Ingle- side Club (4), Vice-President (4); Class Prophetess (4). Helen (known also as “Helinka” and “Tubby”) is a girl possessed of unusual literary talent. She is a clever, frivolous, vivacious, coquet¬ tish young lady,—one who is witty, and extremely spontaneous in re¬ partee. Helen has a sense of humor all her own—at least she says it’s her own—and in her themes this humor, mixed with three or four parts of sarcasm and one or two parts of irony, is always manifest. After she gets her sheepskin, Helen’s going to Barnard College of Columbia University to study journalism. We’re sure she’ll be success¬ ful, for look at the start she has already made as “D. D.” of the Indigestible News.” If you don’t know what we mean, just look at the Prophecy. BARNEY KOSTIN Northeast School; Weaver Orchestra (4) ; Weaver Science Club (4) ; Weaver French Club (4) ; Weaver Classical Club (4) ; H. and W. A. A. (1, 2, 4). This “cute” fellow is another of those secluded members of our class. Barney is a good student, which accounts for the fact that he is completing his high school course in three and one-half years. Barney is also athletic, although he has not gone out for our teams. He can handle the gloves well, can punch the bag, and can do quite a few acrobatic stunts. Those who know him well, will be surprised to learn that Barney was voted the daintiest boy in the class. 16 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL ? ' JENNIE LASSMAN To impart knowledge—what a noble work !’’ Northeast School; W. A. A. 4) : Upper Choir (2, 3, 4) ; Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3, 4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4) ; Classical Club (4). Jennie is going to be a teacher. We hope she’ll never lose that dignity with which she walks among the members of our class. We can’t imagine her scolding any scholar in a severe manner. Perhaps she will invent a new system whereby she will have a model class, without the necessity of raising her voice to some refractory pupil. MARJORIE G. LAY “Dignity in every gesture. Northwest School; W. A. A. (4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4) ; Weaver French Club (4) ; Weaver Girls’ Business Club (4), President (4). Marjorie is the busy bee of the class,—working from 8.30 till late every afternoon. She accomplishes a great deal but doesn’t make a song about it. As a result of her untiring efforts as its organizer and president, the Girls’ Business Club is now one of the best and most flourishing clubs in Weaver High. Marj” is preparing to be a private secretary. She is very efficient in all her work, and we wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to find her working for a bank president some day. REBECCA H. LEIKIND Neatness is the asset of the great.” Northeast School ; H. and W. A. A. (2, 4) ; Upper Choir (2, 3, 4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4), Treasurer (4) ; Girls’ Glee Club (3, 4), Treasurer (4); Ingleside Club 14). President (4). “Ree” is one of our most industrious and capable members, and we’re proud of her. She has been of great service to the various clubs to which she belonged. Our perpetual 8.32 students all blush a fiery red when they gaze upon calm Rebecca. She never has a hair awry, or a pin in the wrong place. Her desk is in order and the Girls’ League treasury book is balanced perfectly. Heavenly horrors 1 Weren’t you ever unruly, Rebecca? We somehow can’t believe such a person exists ! 17 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL IDA I. LEVY Angels listen when she speaks.” Arsenal School ; W. A. A. (4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4) ; Weaver Girls’ Business Club (4), Executive Committee (4). Another quiet member 1 Yes, she was voted the most angelic girl, but that doesn’t prevent her from being an efficient stenographer. She is also the champion typist of the Weaver High School, and some day she may beat Albert Tangora. Ida is an active member of the Weaver Girls’ Business Club and—here’s a secret—gets A in History. GRACE S. LONG “This is the long and the short (and also the wide) of it.” Northeast School; Weaver Girls’ League (4) ; H. Sketch Club (3) ; Weaver Art Club (4) ; Weaver Girls’ Business Club (4) ; Program Committee (4) ; Tawasi Club (2, 3, 4) ; French Club (4), Execu¬ tive Committee (4) ; Weaver Dramatic Club (4), “Roister Doister” (4) ; W. A. A. (4) ; Class Book Editorial Board (4). Grace or “Tubby” as she is known to her friends is a good sport. She’s plump and jolly, as plump people usually are. Someone told Grace that she had a large vocabulary so now she’s on a diet. Grace is undecided about her life work. We wonder whether she will ever become a toe-dancer (or an actress) ? FANNIE LUBLIN “She studies to be quiet.” Northwest School ; W. A. A. (4) ; C. H. L. S. (4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4) ; Classical Club (4) ; Weaver French Club (4) ; Second Scholarship Prize (4). Fannie is one of our most clever girls. Although she has spent her four years quietly and sedately, she has belonged to quite a few clubs. In her lower Senior year she captured a scholarship prize, and next fall she intends to continue the good work at Smith College. Don’t forget to give our regards to the Smith Brothers when you get there, Fannie 1 18 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL LAURETTA L. LUBLIN Hail, thou goddess sage and holy. Hail, divinest melancholy 1” Northeast School; Classical Club (4), Vice-President and Treasurer (4) ; Ingleside Club 14) : Class Basketball (3, 4) ; Weaver Girls ' League (4). She may be pessimistic, but the fear of demerits does not hinder her conversational powers any. We ' ll have to admit though that her Latin isn’t as fluent as her English. She is very sociable antf is a good mixer. Lauretta plans to enter Smith College next fall. ANTHONY J. LYNCH Northwest School; H. and W. A. A. (1, 2, 4) ; H. Orchestra (1, 2) ; H. Boys’ Club (1, 2) ; Weaver Debating Club (4) ; Weaver Rifle Club (4), President (4), Captain of Team (4) ; Owlet” Editorial Board (4) ; Class Book Business Board (4). “Tony” is a versatile fellow. He is good at quite a few things, but is known chiefly for his markmanship. “Tony” was not satisfied with the number of extra-curricular activities, so he founded the Rifle Club, which is already a credit to Weaver High. He is the champion shot of Connecticut and gets the most A’s on his targets. We wonder if he does the same on his report card. By the way—“Tony” is going to be a lawyer, and not a soldier as you would expect. DOMINICK MACRI “On their own merits, modest men are dumb.” Northeast School ; H. and W. Glee Clubs (1, 2, 3, 4) ; H. and W. Choirs (2, 3. 4) ; W. A. A. (4). “Mack” is a quiet person, whose thoughts lean toward practical subjects. He is known mostly for his artistic ability, especially in fancy lettering. “Mack’s” ambition is to become an engineer, and he intends to enter Worcester Tech next fall. If he takes up engineering in the same spirit with which he does his school work, “Mack” may some day have his name linked with the H. Wales Lines Co. or Stone Webster. 19 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL JOSEPHINE M. MARENHOLTZ “She has no fault except that she has no fault.” Lawrence Street School ; W. A. A. (4) ; H. Girls’ Business Club (3) ; Weaver Girls’ Business Club (4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4) ; Ingleside Club (4), Name Committee (4). We wish we knew more about “Joe.” She is a girl who has not made herself over-conspicuous in our class. We have heard that she is in the habit of wearing out about three powder puffs each week, so you know where she shines. “Joe” is undecided about her life work but we wish her luck in whatever she attempts. PAUL H. MARSHALL “A fool and his money are soon parted.” Northwest School ; H. Boys’ Club (2, 3) ; H. and W. A. A. (2, 3, 4) ; Weaver Science Club (4) ; Weaver French Club (4) ; Junior Usher (3) ; Class Treasurer 14). Although Paul is our treasurer, and as such handles all the “dough”, he is a fellow of little crust. By that we mean that he has never spoken out of turn, nor thrown erasers, nor skipped class, nor done the thousand other things that some of the Hardboiled Guys have done. In spite of all that Paul is a regular fellow and a real friend. He is also a good student and was one of our Junior Ushers. Paul plans to enter Wesleyan next fall, there to continue the good work. SARAH S. MENDELSON “Of all the girls that are so sweet. There’s none like pretty ‘Sally’.” Northeast School ; W. A. A. (4) ; Home Economics Council (4) : Weaver Girls’ League (4) ; Ingleside Club (4), Treasurer (4). “Sally” gives one the impression of being very gentle and demure, but she isn’t really. She’s quite lively in fact, and always smiling, and not always at the gentler sex either. The world is so full of a num¬ ber of things that “Sally” doesn’t know just what she will do. How¬ ever we do know that whatever she undertakes, she’ll be a success. Best of luck “Sally” I 20 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL EDNA M. MURPHY A maiden of pensive beauty.” Northwest School; Weaver Girls’ Business Club (4) ; W. A. A. (4) ; Weaver Girls ' League (4) ; Reception Committee (4). Every time Edna passes by, Venus De Milo turns green with envy. She was voted the best looking girl in the class—and rightly so. This picture of her doesn ' t do her justice at all, for Edna is not half so serious. Her merry laugh and dimpled smile are the cheer of the class. Edna has not made up her mind about her vocation. Perhaps she will go into the movies. How about it, Edna? ROSE NIRENSTEIN Haste is always ungrateful.” Northwest School; W. A. A. (4) ; Upper Choir (3, 4) ; Tawasi Club (1) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4) ; Class Baseball (4) ; Class Basketball (4). Rose doesn’t believe in hurrying to meet things before they come. Never a worry or care creases her forehead. In reciting she has a speed limit of fifteen words per minute. It’s quite a relief to sea Rose taking her time in everything after seeing the rest of us rush around like mad. JOHN J. O’BRIEN Speak not—whisper not!” Northwest School; H. Boys’ Club (2, 3) ; H. Technical Club (3) ; W. A. A. (4). One of our most effeminate and serious members is John. He walked off with the honor of being the quietest boy, nevertheless, he’s a good scout. John hasn’t ever taken the trouble to fill out a demerit slip. He doesn ' t have to. He hasn’t tried out for the football team for more than one reason. Do you wonder why? Maybe John’s going to be a minister. 21 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL SADYE S. OKUN Thrift is an asset of the great.” Northeast School; Upper Choir (3, 4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4) ; W. A. A. (4) ; Tawasi Club (1). We wish we knew more about Sadye, but she has never kicked up a disturbance in class. She is noted for her remarkable recitations in Civics and in Economics. Sadye ipay take up teaching as her profes¬ sion. We can’t imagine what kind of a teacher Sadye will make. MOLLIE E. OLDHAM Her beauty hath a strange power.” Northwest School; Art Club (4); Interior Decorating Club (4); Ingleside Club (4) ; Glee Club (3, 4), Secretary (3) ; Dramatic Club (4), “Roister Doister” (4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4) ; H. and W. A. A. (4) ; Upper Choir (4) ; Tawasi (2, 3), Treasurer (3) ; Captain of Basketball Team (2, 3, 4) ; Captain of Baseball Team (3, 4) ; Student Council (3, 4) ; Class Book Editorial Board (4). Clever, popular, and full of pep—that’s Mollie Oldham ; nor does that tell the whole story—for she has quite a reputation as an athlete, and also as an actress. Mollie’s high school career is an unusual one. She dashed from a wild Freshie to a wilder Senior, until now she is the pride and joy of the class. She has belonged to many clubs and has played a conspicuous part in school affairs. Her success in athletics has induced her to become an athletic coach ; on the other hand her love for dramatics has imbedded in her the desire to become a Stage-coach.” Never mind, Mollie, you’d make good as either. EDITH A. ORLECK “Flirtation is a mighty weapon.” Northwest School; W. A. A. (4); Class Baseball (3, 4); Upper Choir (4) ; Ingleside Club (4) ; Chairman of Program Committee (4) r Dramatic Club (4), “Roister Doister” (4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4). If you hear a lot of noise and are looking for the cause, you’ll find it in the person of Edith. Good Natured” describes Edith per¬ fectly. She’s always laughing and rushing around. “Ede” was an enthusiastic toiler for the Thanksgiving drive of the Ingleside Club and was also diligent in other school affairs. According to the vote of the class she is our most flirtatious girl, and she was especially so in her Civics class. In the words of Shakespeare, or Julius Caesar (we forget which) : “She’s some kid.” 22 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL - - - ... - . HERBERT F. PERKINS Northwest School; H. and W. A. A. (2, 4); H. Boys’ Club (2, 3); H. Boys’ Commercial Club (3) ; Weaver Science Club (4) ; Weaver Basketball Squad (3, 4). Here is a fellow who can finish his school work in a short time and still get the gist of it. However it is not for this that he is known. He is known chiefly for his skill as a basketball player. Red” is going to be an accountant. We’re sure he’ll make good, for there is an old tradition which says that Redheads are exceptionally brilliant men. ELLIOTT M. PERLSTEIN “I love my friends well, but myself better.” Northwest School; H. and W. Choirs (2, 3, 4), Monitor (4) ; Weaver Dramatic Club (4), Stage Manager (4), “Roister Doister” (4) ; Hopkins D. C. (3) ; Weaver Debating Club (4), Vice-President (4), President (4) ; W. French Club (4), Executive Committee (4) ; Owlet” Circula¬ tion Board (4) ; H. and W. A. A. (2, 3, 4) ; Business Manager of Class Book (4). Elliott is rather reticent by nature, that’s why he doesn’t mix well with the members of our class. “Perly” is quite popular with his own bunch though. In “Roister Doister” he showed his ability (?) as an actor. “Perly” is going to take up law after he enters this cold, cold world. CATHERINE PLATO An attractive kind of grace.” Arsenal School; H. and W. A. A. (3, 4) ; Girls’ Glee Club (2, 3, 4) ; Upper Choir (2, 3, 4). Monitor (3) ; Art Club (4) ; Ingleside Club (4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4). It is her pleasant manner that wins Catherine friends. She .doesn’t make much noise but she’s there” just the same—always smiling and ready to help. Kay” has taken an active interest in several clubs, especially in the Art Club where she proved herself a real artist. 23 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL SAMUEL PODNETSKY “I have found you an argument.” Northeast School; Hopkins D. C. (3); Weaver Debating Club (4), Secretary (4), Chairman Executive Committee (4) ; Weaver French Club (4) ; H. and W. A. A. (2, 3, 4) ; H. Boys’ Club (2) ; Class Book Editorial Board (4). Weaver High’s debating honors are ably defended by “Pod.” “Pod” is a quiet fellow—except in the Debating Club—and has a few radical and original ideas of his own. He has been with us at Weaver only for a year but he has achieved great things as you can see by his record. “Pod” is going to take up law at Yale next fall. His argu¬ mentative ability and his initiative ought to bring him to the height of that profession. AMY C. POST “There’s nothing ill can dwell in such a temple.” Northeast School; W. A. A. (4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4). Amy is one of these demure maids who just smile and say nothing, but think heaps. You will notice that she is also one of our un¬ bobbed wonders. We have inquired at several sources but we can find nothing scandalous about her. After graduation Amy is to honor the Hartford Hospital with her presence. No, she’s not going to be sick —she’s going to become a nurse. FRANK M. RICHARDSON “If thy mind were as brilliant as thy socks, what a smart man thou wouldst be !” Arsenal School ; H. Boys’ Club (2, 3) ; H. French Club (3) ; “Chron¬ icle” Business Board (3), Advertising Manager (3); Weaver Rifle Club (4) ; Class Book Business Board (4) ; Reception Committee (4). Frank is a broad-minded fellow; he usually has one or more “broads” on his mind. That’s how he got the reputation for being the greatest flirt in the class. Also Frank’s flashy manner of dress has earned for him the title of the Greatest Spendthrift. To those who know Red” well, he is not half so pessimistic as he seems from out¬ ward appearances. Frank will go to U. of P. next fall. 24 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL MAX W. ROSENBAUM O, that this too too solid flesh would melt.” Arsenal School ; H. and W. Choirs (2, 3, 4) ; H. and W. Orchestras (3, 4) ; Room Cashier (3). In his classes he takes the prize for asking foolish questions. Never mind. Max, we’re always glad to have some one waste time, especially when we haven’t prepared our lessons. Max is quite a musician and also a singer. He is a competent bookkeeper, and after graduation will enter some large concern. He says that he won’t accept the position of president of the company because there’s no chance for advancement. That’s the right spirit. Max. JACK S. G. He multiplieth words without knowledge.” West Middle School; H. and W. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4) ; H. Boys’ Club (2, 3) ; Hopkins D. C. (3, 4) ; Triangular Debating Team (3) ; Weaver Football Team (4) ; H. and W. Choir (2, 3, 4) ; Class Book Business Board (4). Ah 1 1 Gaze once upon our football hero 1 Although he has been with us a short time. Jack has made a name for himself as a plunging halfback on our football team, but in his studies he plays the posi¬ tion of a retiring all-the-way-back,—not that he isn’t bright, but be¬ cause he doesn’t study. We must give him credit, however, for a “good line”, especially in Economics. Jack intends to enter the U. of P. where he hopes to earn his letter as tackle on the Pinochle Team. Go to it, Jack 1 BLUMA J. RUBIN I will discourse most excellent music.” Arsenal School ; W. A. A. (4) ; Upper Choir (2, 3, 4) ; Ingleside Club (4), Secretary (4) ; Girls ' Glee Club (3, 4) ; Weaver Girls’ League 13, 4) ; Home Economics Council (4). Bluma is one of our most dutiful and deserving members. She is good in most of her classes, and especially in English. By the way, have you ever read any of her themes ? If you haven’t, you’ve missed something. Bluma also has made quite a name for herself as a tickler of the ivories.” After graduation she intends to take up art designing at Simmons College. 25 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL DONALD T. RUFFKESS “Women delight me not.” Northwest School; H. and W. A. A. (3, 4) ; H. Boys’ Club (2) ; Weaver Choir (4) ; Weaver Science Club (4). No scandalous act can be connected with Donald’s name. During his four years he has led a quiet and secluded life. “Don” is not particularly interested in girls, and it was due to this that he was voted the most bashful boy. It will not be betraying a confidence to say that his favorite occupation, hobby, and sport are (or possibly is) studying French. EDWARD SARLIN “All the world’s a stage.” Northeast School; H. and W. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4) ; H. Boys’ Club (3) ; H. Glee Club (1) ; Upper Choir (2, 3, 4) ; Weaver Debating Club (4) ; W. Dramatic Club (4), Vice-President (4), “Three Live Ghosts” (4), “Roister Doister” (4) ; Boy Prophet (4). Behold 1 Our renowned “Ralph Roister Doister” now claims your attention 1 “Eddie” is a witty and likable chap. In him we have a man of talent—a fellow who can act, and act well. In his school work, also, he makes use of his dramatic ability. Whenever a theme is due, or whenever a test is to be given, “Eddie” makes himself “con¬ veniently ill.” But that is nothing that we hold against him, and we can truthfully say that he has been both a credit and a profit (Prophet) to the Class of 1925A. BENJAMIN SINGER “He would talk. Lord ! how he talked.” Chauncey Harris School ; Weaver Science Club (4) ; H. and W. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4). To “Ben” goes the honor (?) of being the most talkative boy in the class. He is always “cracking wise” (or trying to, anyway). We have heard that “Ben” is leaving for Hollywood soon where he says he is going to enter the University of California. We have a faint suspicion, however, that he’s trying to break into the movies. Of course with that excellent voice of his, “Ben” would make a sure hit on the screen. 26 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL SP -6 S ELLIOTT R. SQUIRES Northwest School; H.

One of our most distinguished members is “Elly.” He is a quiet, capable, and obliging fellow. He may be reserved in the presence of girls, but when it comes to dramatics he takes the cake! In his English class, Elly”, in the role of Polonius, covered himself with glory. Even in the Class History his dramatic ability was manifest. We expect great things from “Elly”—just wait and see. FRANK G. WHITNEY Clothes makes the man (not).” Hartsdale, New York; Weaver Science Club (4), Executive Commit¬ tee (4); H. Boys’ Club (2, 3); W. A. A. (4); Class Marshal (4); Weaver Football Squad (4) ; Weaver Basketball Team (4) ; Color and Motto Committee (4). Rudolph Valentino has a rival in our class in the person of Frank Whitney. He is a genuine good fellow, although he may act queer at times. He played a stellar game at end on the football team. Frank was voted the most dignified, best dresser and the neatest in the class. He hopes to go high in the field of chemistry. Well, Frank, you can get a job as elevator-man in the Woolworth Building ; that ought to be high enough for anyone. GERTRUDE A. WILSON ’The noble mind the best entertainment has.” Northeast School; H. A. A. (3); Weaver Girls’ League (4); Upper Choir (2). Gert” is wrapped in blissful raptures when in the chem. class. She eagerly absorbs each atom and symbol given out. She’s a jolly and obliging girl but not a very noisy one. Gert” intends to be a nurse and is to enter Lincoln Hospital, where she plans to hold the pulses (or hands) of wounded football heroes. 27 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL SAMUEL LUTIN Northeast School; H. and W. A. A. (2, 3, 4). “Sam” may not know the most about English ; in Economics we’re sure he wouldn’t take the first prize; but what “Sam” doesn’t know about a Ford, isn’t worth knowing at all. His knowledge isn’t all theoretical either. Some day we expect to see him go into partnership with Henry F. himself. “Sam’s” going to the Northeastern University to prepare. IDA L. PALTEN “On with the dance !” Northeast School; H. and W. A. A.; Ingleside Club (4), Treasurer (4) ; Weaver Girls’ Business Club (4) ; Weaver Girls’ League (4). Doesn’t she look pensive ? But you can’t always judge by photo¬ graphs, Tor “Chubby” is not half as serious as she looks here. She is really a lively,, cute, little girl, who is ready to give her ideas on any subject. It’s too bad that girls are not eligible for the Debating Club, for she has every other qualification. Ida plans to be a teacher, so her argumentative ability will not go for nothing. JOSHUA STONE Northwest School ; H. and W. Glee Clubs (3, 4) ; H. and W. Choirs (2, 3, 4) ; Weaver Basketball Squad (4) ; Weaver Football Team (4). Here we have our dictionary shark! “Josh” has the reputation of using the largest words in the school. Sometimes even the teachers are puzzled, for he puts into his themes a few words that have never seen the dictionary. “Josh” is an athlete, too. He swims like an expert. That’s another fishy thing about “Josh.” 28 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL LOUIS ZISKIN Henry Barnard School; Weaver Commercial Club (4) ; Weaver A. A. (4). In Louis, otherwise known as “Lordy”, we have the champion giggler in the school. He must have a super-sense of humor for his laughing apparatus is controlled by a hair-spring and is susceptible to a stimulus of any sort. He is especially fond of laughing in his Civics class. What he finds funny in Civics is more than we can see. “Lordy” is going to take up Advertising as his life work and plans to enter the New York University after graduation. GEORGE A. HEAP “Better late than never.” Northwest School ; H. Track Team (3) ; H. Hockey Tea m (2) ; H. Golf Team (3) ; W. Football Team (4) ; W. Baseball Team (4) ; H. and W. A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4) ; H. Boys’ Club (2, 3) ; W. Basketball Team (4). Making out demerit slips is a pastime indeed for George. He has also been quite active in athletics as you can readily see by consulting his history. We might add, too, that the term “On time” means ab¬ solutely nothing to him. We have looked up the school statistics and found that he has broken not only the Weaver record, but also the World mark for being tardy ! Hearty congratulations, George 1 REUBEN A. HERMAN O, it is excellent to have a giant’s strength.” “Rube” is the best athlete in the school and we are proud to have him in our class. He played on most of our teams and helped Weaver to many a victory. For a long while “Rube” was all masculine but of late he has gone soft (but in the heart only), and one may see him at most any social event of note. He was never over-studious, but nevertheless each night he carried home a bag full of books, mostly for the exercise we think. “Rube” will always be a big-timer in athletics and we all wish him the best of luck. C. GIDEON RICE Sigh no more ladies, sigh no more.” Northwest School; Student Council (3). Gid” Rice hasn’t been very active in school, but outside he’s a “Holy Terror” (or perhaps, we could more appropriately call him an “Unholy Terror”). He has quite a reputation as a sheik, a dancer, and also as a heart-breaker. Do you ask why he didn’t have his pic¬ ture put in this book. Oh that’s easy enough to answer. He didn’t want any more girls to be led astray. Oh, yes, he’s considerate all right. And then it’s no secret that Gid” is the kind of fellow who would rather smoke a cigarette than work in a coal mine.” He also has a few pet ideas about educational policy—his favorite being: To school—three days per week.” As far as we know, Gid” has suc¬ ceeded in a remarkable degree in practicing what he preaches. 29 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL 43ratmation Program Mazurka, by Delibes—The Orchestra Salutatory .

It is a less formal occasion than graduation; it is an evening which is dedicated primarily to entertainment, but which is also, in certain respects, educational. In the first place, our orator will advance sound arguments on a timely subject. Our essayist, too, will speak on a topic in which we are vitally interested. Our historians will endeavor to acquaint you with the affairs of our class during the past four years. They will tell you of the club activities in which we have taken part; the supposed hardships we have endured; and the pleasures we have enjoyed. And finally, our prophets—in their own humorous way—will attempt to forecast the future of our class members. The several musical selections which appear on this program will serve to show the talent which we have in our class. We hope that all of you will enjoy the humor which is the keynote throughout this evening. And now. Parents and Friends, in behalf of the Class of 1925A—the first February class to be graduated from the Weaver High School—I bid you a most cordial welcome. Solomon George Johnson, Class Chairman. 31 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL Class Cs ap flVER since the days of the first man, heads have been the most important factors of the human body. Men have been deprived of their feet and legs, of their arms, or of their eyes, and yet they have gone on living. But when their heads have been lost, then disastrous have been the results. We, minus our tops, would certainly be queer-looking individuals and our actions would be even stranger, since the brain Controls all our movements, all our thoughts. Everybody has, or at least had to begin with, a head consisting of two eyes, two ears, a nose, a mouth, and as a crowning glory, some amount, more or less, of hair. In these respects we are all the same. Our bodies also may be like our neighbors’ in size and shape. But it is not so with our heads, themselves—neither outside nor inside. Just think how many, many heads there are in this wide world and then think of the great variety. What a difficult task it must have been to invent all of them! For no two are exactly alike. Our heads are individual. Nobody can copy them— nobody wants to. Some heads are fat, some skinny, some square and some round, some high and some short. Some have organs filled to capacity with learning and intelligence. Others bear the familiar sign “Nobody home in the upper story.” Some belong to the class of “I know it alls”, others to the “I don’t know beans” class, and still others to the best class of all: that is neither too bright nor too stupid. I here are men in this world who devote a great deal of their time to the study of the human skull. According to them, the male carries the largest head, the average size being about twenty-two inches. The female head is supposed to be smaller, to contain smaller organs of energy and power, but this doesn’t mean that a feminine head can contain less knowledge. Of course not! I hese same men, like fortune-tellers, can tell our characteristics by means of bumps, veins, and organs of our craniums. They can tell about our love affairs by a bump in the back of the neck, about our intelligence by the shape as a whole, 32 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL about our silliness by the size of the bump on the top of the head, whether we are likely to go to jail or not by the hump over our ears. In fact, these phrenologists, as they are called, can tell us things unknown even to ourselves. There are other people who profess to he able to tell our characteristics by means of our hair. If our hair falls out, and falls out until we don ' t have any left at all, why that shows that we’re bright, yes, very bright. I’m no student of hair, hut I should think that if we could make hair grow again on our bald heads, we’d he even brighter. Don ' t you? Brown hair indicates an ordinary sort of person; black hair a brilliant one, at least in some respects (you know r the high honors of our class went to dark-haired people)—and red and yellow hair mean too much of a mixture for me to describe. Besides the difference in color, there are also the different styles of arranging our crowning locks. Pompadours, shingles, pigtails, and curls have all had their days. Imagine our fathers, or our men teachers telling us “what’s what , flowing curls nodding emphatically. Just picture the masculine members of our class running along the gym floor, their eyes blinded by ringlets, trying to discover the basketball! What freaks the girls would be if they followed the old court style of wearing their hair piled so high! How w ' ell the short skirt and the steeples of hair would look together! It is certainly fortunate for us that styles have changed and are continuing to change. Whatever the color of our hair, whatever the size of the bumps, wheth er wo have square skulls or those shaped like heads of apes, whether our hair falls out, or whether we have luxuriant curls, let us make the best possible use of our heads. You know if we go through life using them only once in a great while, they will become all shriveled up like dried fruit. If we use them too much, the organs of the brain will swell up like those of prodigies and burst before their time. To avoid these alternatives—let’s, as we go out into the world, use our brains with discrimina¬ tion and round out the bumps with intelligence. BETTY KANE, Class Essayist. 33 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL Class Cratton URING the Christmas season we are all more or less interested in our forests because, for most of us, Christmas wouldn’t be complete without a tree. It doesn’t require much imagination to realize the enormous quantity of pine, spruce, and hemlock trees that must be cut every year for the great holiday. But most of us do not think particularly of our forests unless some event like Arbor Day or Christmas turns our thoughts to them. Even then, perhaps, we don’t realize the full significance of them. Forests, and their products, are a vital and necessary resource of any country. This is particularly true in the United States, for America is the richest of all con¬ tinents in useful wood, and many industries have sprung up which are entirely or partially dependent upon forest products. In the economy of man and of nature, forests are of direct and indirect value—the former chiefly through the produce they yield and the latter through the influence which they exercise upon climate, the regulation of moisture, the prevention of soil erosion, and the healthiness and beauty of a country. The indirect utility of forests will be dealt with first. Of late years, careful observations have been taken and the following results have been obtained: Forests reduce the temperature and soil to a moderate extent and render the climate more equable. They increase the relative humidity of the air and reduce evaporation. They help to regulate the water supply by producing a more sustained feeding of springs, tending to reduce violent floods, and rendering the flow of water in streams more continuous. They assist in preventing erosion, landslides, avalanches, and the silting up of rivers. They furnish protection from the wind and afford shelter to cattle, game, and useful birds. And lastly, they increase the beauty of a country and produce a healthy aesthetic influence upon the people. Although all of this shows the indirect importance of our forests, I wish to lay the greater emphasis upon their direct utility. In modern times, iron and other materials have, to a considerable extent, replaced timber, while coal, lignite, and peat compete with firewood; nevertheless, wood is still indispensable and likely to remain so, for with every new substitute found for wood a new use for it is dis¬ covered. The raw materials of hundreds of our industries consist of timber products. Commercial fiber, tanning materials, dye-stuffs, lac, turpentine, resin, rubber, gutta¬ percha, etc., are examples of some of these forest products. The amount of wood pulp required for one large New York newspaper is almost incredible. All of this 34 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL reveals the tremendous need for preserving our forests, but in spite of this need they have been ruthlessly destroyed from the time our country was first settled to comparatively recent years. The early settler worked laboriously to clear away the trees that he might plant a crop. Decade after decade, through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and the first half of the nineteenth, the settlement of the country east of the Mississippi went steadily forward accompanied by the wholesale destruction of the forests by felling and firing to make room for the plough. But it is not against these early settlers that our grievance is directed, for most of the land which they burnt over was better adapted to agricultural purposes; it is against the more modern lumber kings, who think more of their private incomes than of the future well-being of the country. Billions of feet of valuable timber have been wasted by them through careless lumbering. They make no distinction between trees that are ripe for cutting and those which are not. Instead of felling a tree from the base they cut or saw the trunk three or four feet from the ground. When this is done on a large scale the enormous wastage of valuable lumber becomes very apparent. The forests have enemies other than lumbermen. Insects and lightning destroy millions of dollars’ worth of timber annually. But their destruction does not begin to measure up to the harm wreaked upon them by man. Indifference is the greatest enemy of any democracy, and it is the most powerful enemy of the forest. The effect of this indifference has been manifested in various ways. Railroads passing through wooded areas have caused countless fires. Camp¬ ers have carelessly gone away not knowing or caring whether their fire was entirely extinguished. Travelers wandering through a woodland have caused fires, times without number, by leaving an inflammable object in the glare of the sun, by flip¬ ping to one side a match with a glowing end, or by some other foolish and unneces¬ sary act. Since the establishment of the Bureau of Forestry in the Department of Agricul¬ ture on July 1, 1901, the government has done much to protect our forests and to preserve our future supply of timber. Legislation has been enacted requiring rail¬ roads passing through wooded areas to burn oil or have spark arresters put on. The government has also bought up large tracts of forest lands that now comprise our national reserves. These are guarded and well taken care of by efficient forest rangers. Slash or underbrush is removed, and cattle, sheep, horses, and other animals are allowed to graze on them. However, it is not through government legislation that our forests can be most effectively safeguarded. It is through our interest and co-operation. Public senti¬ ment in favor of the protection of forests is now beginning to be felt. May this sentiment continue to grow until it manifests itself in our awakened interest and in a greatly reduced number of forest fires. From now on may our slogan be: “Safeguard Our Forests!

The doors of the clubs were gladly opened to admit the sophomores who had shown their mettle. The school day of the sophomore was now full of work and pleasure’.” E.S .—“Some of the class joined the Commercial Clubs, others the Glee Clubs, and then there was the Boys’ Club, the Vesta Club, the Orchestra, and all k inds of clubs.” B.G. {Reads )—“‘The members of the class soon became accustomed to their rise in life. During the course of this notorious year a few of the members in the class made some startling discoveries. One industrious student discovered a plan by which he could do two subjects instead of one in one free period. Another girl after many days of diligent study on the subject of Biology discovered that she had but one heart which is located on the right side of the body. If further information is desired about these two industrious persons, look in Gumps’ Lectures, Volume IX, Chapter 17’.” E.S. —“Isn’t it funny how you will forget certain events.

To demonstrate the truth of his statement, Professor Horne brought his own specimens selected from Class of 1939 of the New Britain High School.

D. D. —“Oh, Mr. Nooz, have you some new news for the newspaper?” L. N. —“Yes; I’ve been gathering some very interesting material. You see, I am revolutionizing the Art of Writing. By following ‘The Bluma Greenberg System of How to Become a Successful Writer Over Night’, I find that I have succeeded in making the public realize that my true efforts are to write rather than to be under¬ stood. You see, on page 3251 2 Miss Greenberg states—‘In order to prove the fact that you are truly a genius, never let the reader catch on to what you are writing. That subtle touch is true art, and by following my advice you will find that you will become a successful newspaper man immediately, if not sooner’.” Therefore, my first article begins with the heading ‘Dramatic Artists Receive a Warm Reception in Siberia.’ Now you see that’s art. Nobody really understands it. ( Miss Dumbelle nods in agreement.) To continue—‘Our most versatile young artists of the stage, Mademoiselle Ruth Fine and Monsieur Elliott Squires, are on an extensive tour in Siberia, acting Shakespearean dramas translated into the Russian language.’ Now listen to this: It has the startling title ‘The Terrible Trio’, which naturally conveys nothing to your mind.” (Miss Dumbelle nods in agreement.) “ ‘Daring, brave, beautiful, unprotected girls answer their wanderlust. Trio of daring, dashing damsels make globe-trotting tour. Many thrilling adventures have constituted the tour of this trio. The Misses Grace Long, Muriel Kehoe, and Marion Crane are now in the land of the Eskimos, where they have been heartily received by the natives and also by the world-famous salesmen, Perlstein and Podnetsky, who cleaned up a cold million selling mothballs to the Eskimos’.” D. 1). — Oh, Mr. Nooz, where did you ever learn to write s-o-o-o-o-o di-vinely?” 42 CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL L.N. —“All that I am I owe to Frank Richardson, who is not only my greatest friend, but also, I may add, my severest critic.

He soon wearied, and wishing to re-KLEIN he hung his hat on a POST and LAY down on a HEAP of COLES near a large STONE, and started to eat his lunch. While he was thus engaged, he was startled by a LONG-legged CRANE RUBIN his head on his shoulder. He took a LEIKIND to the bird and gave it a RUFFKESS on its BECKER. It looked hungry so he gave it a PLATO RICE that he had. He also had some OLDHAM which was too tough to eat so he threw ' it away. Besides this he JESS had some MURPHY potatoes but they were ROTTNER than the ham, so he flung them away too. The SINGER then got up and started in search of the famous GRANGER GREENBERGS. He came to a gate but some SQUIRES threatened to LYNCH him if he passed. He took an OKUN club and commenced to LEVY blows upon, ORLECK their heads.

If, perhaps, our humor seems of somewhat ancient vintage, remember that the best humor, like the best wine, grows better with age. W ' e place before you a work of which we are justly proud, representing in the years to come a veritable “Memory Lane’’ through which you may wander, hand in hand with your absent classmates and which leads back to the time when life had not yet left its scars, d ' he way is unobstructed. Enter and may you now find it a joyful road, and in the future a rainbow whose pot of gold is full of happy memories.

ADAMS “Brnd” “Thisman is quiet, shy, but courteous.’’ West Middle School; H. P. H. S. Boys’ Club (2); A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4,); Class Book Business Board. Never absent. Really, Harold, we can’t understand why you have never been absent but we suppose that a business man has to be present at all times. FLORENCE L.ANDERSON ' ‘Flo “Her sunny locks hang on her temples like a golden fleece.’’ Northwest School; Girls’ Business Club (3, 4,), Pin and Finance Committee (3, 4); Girls’ League (4); Upper Choir (2, 3, 4); A. A. (3, 4). She’s very quiet, yes, but beware! Don’t judge a book by its cover. BARBARA ANDRUS Boh “Here ' s a maiden sweet and fair. With a kindly eye and gentle air.’’ Northwest School; Girls’ League (4); Upper Choir (2, 3, 4); A. A. (3, 4). “Bob” is a girl we don’t know much about. For informa¬ tion “Ask Frank R., he knows!” LILLIAN BARON Lily “Her voice was ever soft. Gentle and low,— an excellent thing in woman.” Arsenal School; Girls’ Business Club (3); Secretary (3); Upper Choir (4); Girls’ Glee Club (4); A. A. (4); Girls’ League (4). From the vote of the class we should judge that Lillian is very witty. She should have been on the Class Book Board. CLAS OK DANIEL A. BASON Dan One thing is forever good; that one thing is success.” Northeast .School; French Club (4j; .Science Club (4); Classi¬ cal C ' liib (4); Debating Club (4); A. A. (4); Junior Usher. ‘‘To join or not to join (a club), that was his question.” judging from the above list, he must have decided in the affirma¬ tive each time. WILLIAM M. BIALICK Bi ‘‘A good beginning is sure to make a good ending.” Northwest School; Upjx r Choir (4); Commercial Club (.C 4), President (4); A. A. (4). W’e wonder, ‘‘Hi,” whether your presidency in the Com¬ mercial Club had any connection with the big business “boom” that was being felt all over the country at that time. ARTHUR S. BLANK Art ‘‘My life is one dem’d horrid grind.” ■Arsenal .School; Orchestra (1, 2, .U 4); “Owlet” Rejxjrter (.?); French Club (3); Debating C ' lub (3, 4); Student Council (3); Science Club (3, 4), Treasurer (4); Upper Choir (3, 4); A. -A. (1, 2, 3, 4); Rifle Club (4); Class Ring Committee; Class Treas¬ urer; A’aledictorian. If “.Art” had a cold sore we’d know what caused it — a cold! Even if he is a bit shy of the girls, we all wish him success in future ventures. HELEN M. BRAZEL . Fete “Modesty is |X)licy, no less than virtue.” Northwest School; Girls’ Business Club (3, 4); Ingleside Club (3, 4), Vice-President (3): Upper Choir (2, 3, 4); Girls’ ( ' dee Club (4); -A. -A. (4); (iirls’ League (4). Well, Helen, the light of your shining hair gives us warning of your approach, but we don’t hear much of you otherwise. MADELINE C. BRIGNOLE “Mad “Is she not passing fair?’’ Northeast School; Ingleside Club (3, 4); Girls’ Business Club (3, 41, Vice-President and Treasurer (4); Girls’ League (2, 3, 4); A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4). Madeline believes that a woman’s hair is her crowning glory. We agree with her! JOSEPH BRONSTEIN “Joe “What is thy name?” Elihu Burritt High School; French Club (4); Science Club f4); A. A. (4). Silence, thy name is Bronstein. He comes from New Britain, but we won’t hold that against him. Otherwise he’s very in¬ offensive, in fact, unnoticeable. FLORENCE BROWNSTEIN “Flossy “Her heart is like a bell — and her tongue is the clapper.” Arsenal School; Girls’ League (4); Girls’ Business Club (3, 4); Girls’ Glee Club (3, 4); Upper Choir (3, 4); A. A. (3, 4); Tawasi (dub (1). We don’t know much about “Flossy.” Some say that she is very wise. At any rate, “Brevity is the soul of wit.” SOLOMON S. BUCHMAN “Sol “Let me have audience — I am sent to speak.” Northwest School; Boys’ Glee Club (2, 3, 4); Treasurer (4); Debating Club (4), Treasurer (4); A. A. (3, 4); Upper Choir (2, 3, 4); H. P. H. S. Floys’ ( ' lub (2); “Owlet” Circulation Board (4), Manager (4). If you see someone striding busily, boastfully, and blindly along the corridor, you’ll know its “Sol.” CLAS L� � illlliiiiii wia ill! vr- B O O K EDYTHE CANTOR “ Honey “My treasures are niy friends.” Northwest Sc ' hool; Up|X r C hoir (2, 3, 4); Cirls’ League (4); A. A. (.3, 4); Ciirls ' Cilee Club (I, 3, 4); Orchestra (3, 4). Quiet, helpful, and neat is “Honey.” .She is a good little friend to have in need. BEATRICE M. CARROLL Be “High erected thoughts seated in the heart of courtesy.” Immaculate Conception .School; lJp[ er Choir (2, 3, 4 ' ; Cirls’ (dee C ' lub (4); Ciirls’ League (4); A. .A. (3, 4); Ingleside C ' lub (4), C ' hairman Entertainment C ' ommittee (4). This girl is (juiet, dignified, and slow of speech. Once she had a terrible accident when her nose got in the way of a baseball. ASENATII COHEN “.Speech is great, but silence is greater.” Northwest .School; Ciirls’ Business C lub (3, 4), President (4); ( ' . H. L. .S. (3, 4), ’ice-President (4); French Club (3, 4), Treas¬ urer (4); Ciirls’ League (3, 4); Student C ' ouncil (4), Executive C ' ommittee (4); lJpfx r Choir (2, 3, 4); .A. (3, 4;. Asenath is another one of these silent but capable ones. .She is often heard of but not often heard. RENA G. COHEN Reggie “Maiden fair, maiden slim. Not too lively, not too prim.” Northwest School; Upper Choir (2, 3, 4); Ciirls’ Cilee Club (3, 4), Treasurer (3, 4); Tawasi Club (1, 2); French Club (4); “Owlet” Reporter (4); ( ' lass Book Editorial Board; Ciirls’ League (4); A. A. (4). You may be very tall and slim, “Reggie,” but we all love your courteous manners and happy smile. CLA ALBERT V. De BONIS ‘M ’’ “And still he bore without abuse, The grand old name of gentleman.” Northeast School; Upper Choir (2, .3, 4); Classical Club (3, 4), Secretary (4a), President (4b); Roys’ Glee Club (U; French Club (4), President (4); A. A. (3, 4); H. P. H. S. Boys’ Club (2). “Al” is our model for “The Hoosier Schoolmaster.” No wonder, then, that he should be president of the Classical and French Clubs. EDMOND B. DOYLE “Ed” “Men of few words are the best men.” Northw ' est School; Boys’ Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4), Vice-Presi¬ dent (3), Secretary (4); Upper Choir (2, 3, 4); Boys’ Business (dub (-1), President (4); A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4); Chairman of Reception Committee; Boys’ Leaders’ Corps (3). “Ed” took us all by surprise and now we are sorry that he didn’t make himself known l)efore. EDWARD F. DUNN “Eddie” “1 le’ll be a man before his mother.” West Middle School; Upper Choir (2); Commercial Club (3, 4); History-Civics Club (3), President (3); A. A. (3, 4). Where, oh where, “Eddie,” do you get your girlish way? Why so sleepy every morning? Perhaps if we found the cause, we could suggest a remedy. EDITH FALK “Ed” “Mind employed is mind enjoyed.” Junior High School; (iirls’ Business Club (3, 4), Executive Committee (3); (iirls’ League (4); Ingleside Club (4); U[)per Choir (4); Tawasi Club (2, 3); A. A. (3, 4). Edith beats us all in typing. We wonder whose secretary she will be? Lucky man! CLASS ANNA FASHINSKV “Attti “Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.” .Arsenal School; Ciirls’ Business ( lub (4); I pixT Choir (4); fiirls’ League (4); ’esta Club (3); .A. .A. (. , 4). Quiet in school but, “.Ann,” we ju- t know you are not always like that. HI.ANCH A. FINESIIA ER “The (piiet are often taken for the obscure.” New Bark .Avenue .School; Cirls’ League (2, 4); Tawasi ( ' lub (1, ' L 4), Chairman of .Sc ' rvicc C ' ommittee {-L 4a), Treas¬ urer (4b); .A. .A, (1, 2, .L 4); Art Club (4!; Cirls’ Leaders’ Corps (4). just the same, we know Blanch is not always (piiet. ’ou should see her in gym. AI.EAN R. FINEAA “A ” “.All great men are either dead or dying — 1 don’t feel so well myscdf.” Northeast .School; Class Chairman; Editor-in-Chicf of Class Book; .Student Council (2, 3), 4), President (4); “Owlet” Editorial Boanl (2, 3, 4), Weaver Editor (4); Dramatic Club (3, 4), Presi¬ dent (4); Rille Club (4), Secretary (4a); French Club (. ); .A. .A.

Weil, “.Al,” there doesn’t .seem to be much you haven’t taken part in and here’s wishing you success in your future entures. ’e ho|H‘ all this won’t make you need a larger hat. ALICE FORM AN “.She is a winsome, wee thing.” . rsenal .School; Dramatic (lub (3, 4), .Sc ' cretary (4b); “Three Li e Chosts,” “Honor Bright”; Cirls’ Clee Club (3, 4), Librarian (3, 4), Pin ( ' ommittee (3); Ingleside Club (3, 4); Ci){)er Choir (2, 3, 4); (iirls’ League (3, 4); .A. .A. (3, 4); Tawasi Club ( 2 , 4 ). Wry (piiet, very gentle, and very lady-like, nevertheless she jxjwders her nose. No girl should be t(X) gcKxl. CLA JOSEPH FREEDMAN “Jas” “A brave man struggling in the storms of fate.” Northwest School; Debating Club (3, 4); Science Club (4), Executive Committee (4); A. A. (4); Upper Choir (4). “Jas”! Perhaps this is the way you spell your nickname but we think it should be “Jazz.” MARION E. FROST Bim” “I’se wicked I is, Use mighty wicked; anyhow I can’t help it.” Washington Street vSchool; Student Council (2); Girls’ League (4); A. A. (4); Dramatic Club (4); Class Book Editorial Board. “Bim” is one of those girls who always has a smile for every¬ one — even the fellows. She did a great deal to help put this Class Book out, also. JULIA GABERMAN Bijou “Ouiet and studious ’es, yes, quite studious.” Alfred E. Burr .School; Upper Choir (2, 3, 4); K. B. L. S. (3); Tawasi Club (1, 2); (drls’ League (4); A. A. (4). “Bijou” is a girl who walks in and out of classes unknown and unheard. But she can’t be very shy when she faces the “solid’ ’ class, being the only female there. SARAH GABERMAN Dolly “’Tis better to be winsome than wise, to be sweet than smart.” Northeast School; Girls’ Business Club (4); Ingleside Club (4), Vice-President (4); A. A. (3); Girls’ League (4); Upper Choir f3, 4). All we can do for “Dolly” is to wish her luck in the future and to say — “Behave thyself.” K CLASS BOO DAVID H. GARBER Dave” “Flunk or |)ass, come what may, Always nonchalant, happy, gay.” .Northeast .School; lip|x. ' r C ' hoir (2, .3, 4); Hoys’ (ilee Club (2, .3, 4); Ha.sketball Team (4). “Dave” was the main stay on the basketball team. He stay¬ ed on the bench. “Caesar had his Brutus, ‘Dave’ had his .Ap- |)lause.” BELLE GERE “Don’t try to make her sjK ' ak — trj ' to stop her.” Northeast School; French ( ' lub (4), Pin Committee (4); Ingleside Club (4); Cdrls’ League (2, .3, 4); A. A. (4); Tawasi Club (2, .3); Ciirls’ (dee Club (2, 4); (oris’ Business Club (4); Iipper Choir (1,2, .3, 4). Belle you’re a great help to everyone, aren’t you? .Always relieving them of e.xtra jK-ncils, but we don’t mind that. HARRY GILLESPIE “Beware the fury of a patient man.” .Arsenal School; Debating Club (.3, 4), ' ice-President (4); Science Club (.3, 4), E.xecutive Committee (.3), Chairman (4); CpjK ' r Choir (2, .3, 4); .A. .A. (4); C lassical Club (4); Junior Usher. Here is a very (juiet and, in fact, jx ' rfect gentleman. We really appreciate it, text, for there are so few gentlemen nowa¬ days! SYLVIA S. GLADSTEIN “Syb” “I wear my heart upon my sleeve.” .Northwest School; Upixr Choir (2, 3, 4); Ciirls’ Cilee C ' lub (.3, 4); .A. .A.

Only we, in the cold and uncompromising .state of journalists, have eluded her Siren grasp and remain to tell the tale. ABRAHAM I. GLASSBAND “Abe” “Innocent as a lamb.’’ Northeast School; A. A. (2, 3, 4). He took Virgil’s Aeneid for three months before he found out who wrote it. And his translations,— poor Virgil! Never mind, “Abe,’’ Latin isn’t the only worth while thing in the world. LOUIS H. CLASSMAN “Lou” “1 have gained my experience.’’ Northeast .School; Boys’ Cdee Club (2, 3, 4), Librarian (3); A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4); Science Club (3, 4); Debating Club (4); Radio Club (4); Upper Choir (2, 3, 4); French Club (4); Orchestra (4). “Lou” is one of the very few who have gone through high school in three and one-half years.

(1, 2, 3, 4); “Roister Doister,” “Honor Bright.” Here we have a real knife thrower who can stick one in the floor every time. He’s a Latin “shark” too, and when it comes to scanning-1 WILLIAM 1.

CLASS MIRIAM GOLDENBERG Mim” “The greatest of faults is to he conscious of none.” Henry Barnard School; Ciirls’ Business Cluh (4); A. A. (4); (iirls’ League (4). If you would only get an “F” once in a while we would really believe you knew how to do something besides “burn the mid¬ night oil. We congratulate you, however, on being able to get on the honor roll so much. JACOB GORDON “Jack” “The very flower of youth.” .Arsenal School; Science Club (.3, 4); Upper Choir (2, 3, 4); A. A.

EDITH E. HERMAN “.A penny for your thoughts.” Henry Barnard .School; (iirls’ Business Club (3, 4); .A. .A. (4); (iirls’ League (3, 4). Edith is the happy-go-lucky tyix. , careless with her money and time. She likes to scuff her feet, we’ve noticed. Well, that’s a very neat trick when it is done right. K CLA FRANCES K.

HIMMELSTEIN “Things are not always what they seem.” Northeast School; Classical Club (4); Ingleside Club (3); Girls’ Business Club (4); A. A. (2); Girls’ League (2).

JOHNSON “Reason is not measured by size or height, but by principle.” Northwest School; Boys’ Glee Club (2, 3, 4); U[)per (ihoir (2, 3, 4); Dramatic Club (4); Basketball Alanager (3).

LUBETKIN “There is no art to find the mind’s construction in the face.” Arsenal .School; Girls’ League (3, 4); Girls’ Business Club (3, 4); A. A. (3). Here is one who is always smiling and happy.

Boys’ Club (2); Upper Choir (2, 4); French Club (4); Classical Club (4); Debating Club (4); “Owlet” Reporter (4); Basketball Manager (4); A. A. (1, 2, 3, 4). It is difficult to say whether we should call “Bullie” an athlete, a reporter, or a debater. At any rate, a future occupation should be assured with his varied experience. G. BESSIE RAPKIN “Curly” “Rap her? Oh, what’s the use?” Northeast School; Girls’ Business Club (4); C. H. L. S. (3, 4); Girls’ League (3, 4). Bessie, never put off ’till tomorrow what you can do today.

Oration Peace, the Watchword C HERP is no need to recall the horrors of the World War, the number of dead and wounded. We all know that war is destructive, that it is an enemy to civiliza¬ tion. 1 doubt whether there is anyone today wdio could prove that it has one beneficial effect on humanity. The recent w ar proved that strife between countries was far from the best way of settling disputes. The people of today are trying to do away with war, not because they are physical cowards but because they feel that might does not necessarily make right. As a result we have today the League of Nations and the World Court. These two bodies are the most recent achievement of international conferences for settling disputes. Yet what proof is there to show that the w ' orld can safely rely upon them at all times? At present there is none at all. Is, it probable that a nation, stirred up and ready for war at a moment’s notice, will wait patiently until a dignified body of men decide the matter? The truth is that it is not in the hands of a representative body to avoid the danger of war, but in the people themselves. A method has been devised that, if given a trial, would surely prove itself to be the one factor that would do away with the danger of world wars in the future. That method is education of the children for peace. If children were taught during their entire school course that war was wrong and demoralizing, there would be no fear that wars would be waged on a gigantic .scale in the future. Germany is a good example of the effect of teaching children. The schools of that country were able to teach the students in one generation that war was a glorious thing. The result was a united mind of the entire German nation during the World War. If Germany proved success¬ ful in influencing the minds of her youth toward this principle, why can’t we be success¬ ful in teaching just the opposite? Children are very apt to believe an older person’s opinion. I remember quoting the teacher at home and sincerely believing that this was my personal view. If the United States were to start an intensive jirogram of edu¬ cating its youth for peace, other nations would do the same, as has hapi)ened in for¬ mer cases. They instinctively look toward this country as a leader. That is why we should be the first to give this plan a trial, as it would benefit the whole world in the end. CLASS If chilflrcii are allowed to make up their own minds as to whether war is wrong or right, it will he just as great a crime as if they were delil)erately taught the latter prin¬ ciple. All children like to hear martial music and see soldiers march. Naturally they feel that they too would like to he .soldiers and go to war. As not many parents or teachers stop to tell them the other grue.some side of the story, most children grow up with the feeling that war is right. To illustrate this fact let us go hack to the period when our countr ’ entered the World War. A large numher of young men who were willing to light for their country went to France thinking they were going to have a good time, as they always believed that war was a sort of game on a large scale. W ' hen the war was ended the men came hack in a sober, thoughtful frame of mind. They didn’t want to talk about the things they had experienced “o er there.” W ar no longer seem- ( d a game, hut a destructi ' e monster that should he done away with. In connection with keej ing peace always in the public mind, the War I)ei)artment has a(h()cated the establishment of Defense Day which would serve as a national holiday instead of Armistice Day. The oi)ponents of Defense Day are against it because the word “mobilization” was u.sed in the statement i.ssued by the War Depart¬ ment. They also contend that this department is only doing this to obtain larger ap¬ propriations for the army and to put it.self more in the public mind. Mobilization has no connection with the program on Defense Day. As the term is generally understood, it iinobes three principles: namely, to drill the men b.eforehand so that each will know his i)lace when called on, to have unstinted resources on hand and to have the men give uj) all minor interests. The imogram on Defen.se Day would not include any of these three principles. Thus one can sec that the fears of these opponents are not warranted as far as it concerns the use of the word “mobilization.” As for the desire for larger appropriations, I belie e that we may lea e that in the hands of Congress. Fvery measure of national interest has its opponents, but one can .see that Defense Day will harm no one as it will only be used to test the militar ' strength of the country. But there will be no need for I )efen.se Day when children are taught that only i)eace is right. Of course, it will take.a great many years to do so, as war has existed for centuries. I do not mean that the next generation of children should all be “slackers” and not res¬ pond to the call if war comes, just becau.se they have been educated for i)eace. But if they ha e to go to war, they should go in the sjjirit that they want to do away with war and not just exterminate the enemy. Thus if each generation does its work in this direction there will come a time that the majority will beli( e that war has no place in the ci ilized world. AkTIIl’R M. KLURFKLD. CLA 500K Next! Q I XT! Not a long word, is it? No, and I’ll guarantee that there is no one here who has ever been forced to stammer over its difficult pronunciation or to con¬ sult Webster’s Standard Dictionary for its derivation, accent, meaning, or division of syllables. I assume that on account of its simplicity we have all carelessly overlooked the possible strength and force that this little word may contain. I therefore wish to¬ night to prove to all and to convince some that “next!” is an extremely important and tremendously significant word. With the possible exception of graduation and marriage, the day Mrs. Snipper bobbed her hair rises up in her mind as a most momentous and probably never-to-be- forgotten day in her life. Collecting all her courage and defying her husband’s threat of divorce, she bravely enters the hairdresser’s. Busy, of course! and she must wait. This gives her ample (although undesired) time to brood on the stupendous event which is about to occur. Feminine vanity whispers to her in solemn, fear-inspiring tones, “Will you look better with bobbed hair or will your new coiffure be less becoming?” A cold, terrifying horror seizes her. If only her courage would not desert her! Again she considers—-“to bob or not to bob” — oh! if only someone understood what it meant to her! But no! in answer to her fond hopes of receiving a little encouragement she is greeted by the barber’s cheerless, nonchalant, and uncompromisingly harsh “Next!” ' et to our bob-haired young Miss of today this incident seems like a mere nothing compared to one which arises almost daily in her high school career. She sits there out¬ wardly calm and collected, but could one but half perceive the turmoil in her brain! Her mind is a cross between last night’s dance orchestra and today’s geometry p)roposi- tion. 01)livious of her surroundings she muses. “Was it worth it? Of course he ivas so good looking and a divine dancer! but??” A thoughtful nod of her fair head in¬ dicates that she is wondering-—and thinking. “This failure today is going to lower my mark considerably and with graduation so near! Oh, if only that instructor would stop calling “Next!”,“Next!!”,“Next!!!”, perhaps I could think but oh! woe is me! he’s coming up my aisle now and I don’t even know what the lesson is about! If that bell CLASS BOOK would riiiK — why, when his car was fifty-five you couldn’t even feel the road beneath you — and the crescent moon was too or—” rnfortunate wretch! In the midst of her most pleasant reverie she is rudely awakened by the teacher’s shrill commandinji “Next!” Do you remember that day when you were actually brave enouj h to enter the dentist’s office? Twice you had turned away before you reached the door, another time a sij n on the door had told you the doctor was out, but this time ' ou were there, sittinji in the waiting); room, ’oti had tired of reading every available magazine from “The Atlantic Monthly” to “College Humor.” But, the assistant’s interrupting “Next!” to each succeeding patient’s low groan that .sent you bounding toward the door only to be reminded by a stidden pain that today you and your tooth must jiart com¬ pany. Once more you sit down and wait. “I do hope she will be a little more sympa¬ thetic to me! If some one could only understand how much 1 have suffered-. d ' here she is again.” .So collecting more courage than when you had entered the room to take an unprej)ared examination in Latin 8 you rise only to hear the same heartless “Next!” Thus we live not in the present but rather in the anticipation of future events. How fortunate, for how dull would be our very existence were it not for the enchant¬ ment of the anticipatory atmosphere lent by sheer incertitude so that, tinmindfid of their memories of former misfortune, we still have the fortitude to face tomorrow. As Walpole said, “It is not Life that matters, but the courage you bring to it.” .So our life is but a series of “Nexts.” F?ach great moment materializing from hours of anticipation becomes but a dream. W ith its realization we are not too long related by (he ecstacies of its success nor too long depressed by the sorrow of its failure but it, too, soon passes from our life and we are anxiously awaiting that event which is to be “Next!” ALICL FORMAN. Qlass History Characters — Professor Perlstein, an old man with a long, grey beard. The Spirit of the Class of 1925B. Time — 1980. Scene — Room containing fireplace with easy chair before it, also a table with a chair beside it. (Professor, wearing glasses, dressing gown, and bedroom slippers, is seated in the easy chair with feet on a footstool. He is reading a book. Reads aloud) — No other single group in history has produced so many great men and women. Out of this great class and from such auspicious beginnings came the leaders of the world of today. (Closes book slowly) — And this is what they write about the class of 1925B, my class. Little did we realize what a great part we were to play in the world, and yet there’s not one of us — no, not one — who would not give all he has to turn back the years and live those days over again. While we were there we wanted to get out and now that we’ve been out these many years, we want to get back. (Yawning). Ah, yes, those were the days — the best four years of our lives. How well I remember them, the old class-rooms and teachers, the old joys and sorrows and humor of our high-school life, and most of all the immortal spirit of our class, the spirit that led us to victory on the athletic field and helped us to achieve great fame in the school. (He yawns, goes to sleep, and snores vigorously.) (Enter Class Spirit on tiptoe, crosses to old man, pulls his hair and tweaks his ears. He starts up and looks around him and finally discovers the Class Spirit.) Where did you come from? (Looking her over). Why, you look familiar. Ah, I have it. You look just like the girls of my high-school days. Who are you anyhow? Class Spirit: I am the Class Spirit. Professor: The Class Spirit — not of 1925B. C. S. Nothin’ else but. Prof. Why my dear girl, do you still use that ancient slang? K CLASS C. S. Of course, you used to use it in your high-school days. Prof. All, hut we were young and foolisli then. C. S. ’es, you were hut children when you entered the famous doors of the Hartford High .School. The “.sophs” pensecuted you without realizing what greatness the future held in store for you. But you withstood the scorn of the “sojihs,” the pity¬ ing smiles of the juniors, and the indifference of the seniors, and with high spirits and more or less high marks, entered upon your second year. Prof. Indeed, we were like any other freshman class, except that, of course, we were (juite a hit better. But nevertheless, we thought that seniors were teachers be¬ cause some of the boys had mustaches, and, in those days, most of the girls wore their hair up. C. S. Not much like the way we wore it when we graduated, eh? Prof. I don’t think I realized that girls had ears until our senior year when ears became fashionable. But, to return to the subject, about the only thing that seemed older to us than a senior was a teacher. T ' s, I used to think that there was nothing .so anticjiie as a teacher, not even the pyramids of Kgyjit, but now, in my failing years, 1 realize what children they are. C. S. ' I ' lien, in your sophomore year, you learned not to blush when the teachers called on you, how to accjuire a demerit, and, above all, a knowledge which was of great use to most of ’ou, how to bluff. You also found out why the Majestic existed and you certainly made use of your knowledge. Prof, ’es, and when we came to the Weaver High School, our only regret was that we graduated before the Lenox Theatre was finished. C. S. Some of ' ou, by hard work, became reporters for the “Owlet,” in which you were destined to become great factors, and others, without trying at all, got twenty- nine demerits, but both received the same amount of fame. Prof. Aye, the folly of youth. I remember when I had twenty-nine demerits, and 1 was prouder of those than of the degree of B. U. M. which I received later. C. S. And you weren’t the only one who boasted of your twenty-nine demerits, but your pride went before the thirtieth. But say, do you remember the confusion of the first half of your Junior year because your new “Promised Land,” the Weaver High, wasn’t finished? Prof. Well, I should say I do. Who could forget the ease with which we skipped classes amidst the general mix-up? Our rooms were so far apart that, even when we did go to class, we generally reached there about the time the bell for the end of the period rang. That was very convenient for us, but not very nuicli so for the teachers. Many a time they would be seen wandering aimlessly about the building, poking their heads into corners, and peeking into dressing-rooms, saying, “Has anyone seen an English class floating around the school?’’ Why, we studied in the assembly hall, held Latin classes in the basement and pursued the mysteries of algebra in a dressing-room. C. S. That, of course, was the reason why most of you didn’t make the honor roll, and it was during that half-year, too, that I was making up my mind as to whether to stay at Hartford High with the majority or to go to Weaver High with the more brilliant minority. Prof. Wasn’t much trouble to decide, was it? C. S. No, so I left a minor spirit in charge of the Hartford High division, and 1 myself, the well-known but invisible class spirit, entered the Weaver High School. Prof. And you. Class Spirit, were much in evidence in those days. As a result of your influence, we entered heart and soul into forming the clubs which now, after so many years, retain the spirit and high standard which we imparted to them, and then, too, we carried the name of Weaver into many fields including the athletic field and the fields of Keney Park. (Rises). Ah, those rolling, grassy fields and those shady woods! What a temptation they were to us on sunny days when we were on the way to school. C. S. And certain ones of you, being nature lovers, never could resist the tempta¬ tion. Prof. Then there was the next year; that was an exciting one. ' Phere was the eclipse, the earthquake, and — C. S. (Proudly). The class of 1925B became seniors. Prof. (Walks over and sits down in chair near table). I have sat in the highest councils of the state; I have sat in the presence of kings; (looking at bottle on table), I have even sat in the soda-parlors of Canada, but never was I prouder than when I sat in the senior class. By that time, we felt that we knew so much we didn’t have to study, and we didn’t,— not very much. We turned our attention to other things more interesting to us than mere study. We became authors for the “Owlet’’ and “Chron¬ icle.” C. S. Actors and actresses in the Dramatic Club. Prof. Daniel W’ebsters in the Debating Club. C. S. And artists and models in the Art Club. Prof. One ol our members even got a black eye in the presence of the whole school. CLASS ii UilMlI C. S. The only time that e er happened was in the Dramatic Chib pla ’, “Honor lirij ht,” the first jilay that was twice shown successfully. Prof. es, it was a double success, but do you recall how slowly the electricity worked the first lime? The butler pressed the electric light button, tidied up the room, and walked out of it, and a few minutes later the lights went on. C. S. Hut the .second time the lights worked all right, and the ])erformance was better than e ’er. Prof. .-Xll in all, everything about that year was successful and greatly enjoyed. (Looking at Class Spirit). What! don’t you agree with me? C. S. ’oti ha e forgotten one thing,— the sixth period. Prof. (Kchoing her words). The sixth period. C. S. It was designed to help your loss of memory about forgotten excuses and demerits and tardiness, and it always seemed to fall to the lot of the same iiersons. Prof. The best part of it tor us was that last week of school when it was done away with. C ' . S ' . Hut it helped, after all, for now the class of 1925H is renowned for its jitinctuality and good behavior. Prof. There was a touch of sadness in those last few days, but all good things must come to an end as did those four i)erfect years. C. S. 1 did my best to make those years great and happy and I am proud of the result. The class established an unsurpassed record and maintained it, and that is why, t hough all your classmates are old and grey, I, the Class .Spirit, am still young,— and Iresh, and that is why, in the hea ' enh- home of class spirits, 1 sit in the front seat. Prof. (( ' «oes to table, picks up bottle, reads lal)el). (dnger ale, bottled In bond in the N’ear 1925. Well, this being the strongest stuff we can get nowadays, it will make a most appropriate toast for you. (Pours into glass and raises it). Here’s to ' ou, spirit of the greatest class and to the haj)py memories which you have brought back to me. (.As he drinks, the Class Spirit wa ’es farewell and disappears). (Turning around). She’s gone. 1 feel old again. .Ah, back to my easy chair. It’s the only one in the house that’s comfortable to my old bones. (Walks o ’er and sits in eas ' chair. -Stretches out, then starts uj) suddenly.) She forgot one thing. That was the time, a little while before graduation, when we defeated Hartford in a baseball ganu . It was the first time that we’d beaten them in any sport, but it doesn’t matter much, now that we’ve beaten them in ( ' very branch of athletics in the last twenl ’ sears, (( ' loes to sleej) again).

TIME — 1940. A woman enters, dressed very raggedly. She goes to tree and nicks the bark, counting aloud the marks which represent the number of years spent on the island. She: One, two, three, four, five. Eive long years on a desert island! Will we never hear anything from the outside world again? (Looks around her and then up at the sky. .She starts). No! It can’t be. But it is! An aeroplane! (Waves fran¬ tically). Oh! (Loud crash is heard off stage; woman screams and runs off a little; she re-enters half-dragging a man in an aviator’s uniform who is wearing goggles and who faints as he reaches the center of the stage. Woman tries to revive him). He: (Coming to, mumbling) I wasn’t the only one who was fooling. Why should get the cipher? Now put yourself in my place. (Waking). Where am I? She: Why, you are on the Weaveranian desert. lie: (Mumbling) Weaver — Weaver — why, it seems to me that I was just dreaming about a certain history cla.ss in Weaver High School. (Pause). Well, I’ll be-. Anna Heilpern! She: What! How do you know me? Who are you? lie: Guess. She: I can’t imagine. (He removes goggles). Dick ’an Ausdall! My class¬ mate of that wonderful class of 1925B Weaver High School! He: If this isn’t a strange coincidence — what are you doing in this God-forsaken hole? She: Why, I live here. But how did you get here? CLASS hill B CD O l lie: Oh, I just dropped in — from the atmospliere, 1 guess, ’ou see, I’m making a world tour in my aeroplane. I hadn’t slept for two days, and must have dozed otT. .Suddenly 1 felt myself gliding through space and before 1 knew what it was all about, 1 had landed on my medulla problangata. But tell me, what are you doing here? She: W ell, you remember the reunion of our class was called to celebrate the tenth anniversary of our graduation, don’t you? He: Why, yes. I remember that loads of the kids couldn’t come because of for¬ mer engagements that they had. (irayson Wilcox and Ro.sella Lubetkin felt terribly because they were booked up for their artistic performance of “The Dance of the Nymphs.’’ She: ' es, and Solomon Buchman had to go shopping for a Balm Beach suit — he thought he’d need one because he was appointed ambassador to the .South Pole. lie: But tell me about the reunion. She: Well, you know, “Larry” Reardon offered us the ii.se of his steam yacht for a sailing trip. We didn’t know where to go, when Lena Sherman sitggested that we visit Leon .Stone, the missionary on the Hebie-Jebie Islands, where Ida Palten reigns (lueen of the natives. bN ' a Rosenthal who is married couldn’t leave her children and “Dick” Ryder was afraid to leave his wife alone in his huge mansion in Wind.sor Locks. Then, too, Malvern Mather had to stay to finish screening his latest picture “Hidden I ' ♦� Mres. He: “Hidden Fires!” Oh, 1 saw that picture a long time ago. I remember that “Bim” Frost was his leading lady and “Mai” had heavy competition in Fdmond Doyle, the handsome but unscrupulous illain. 1 knew when 1 .saw “Mai” in those W eaver High School Dramatic Club plays “Roister Doister” and “Honor Bright” that he would make a perfect lover — for the screen. Anyhow, tell me about the reunion She: Well, we went and had a wonderful time for a week. Barbara Andrus acted as hostess. Lillian Baron gave vocal selections e ery night and Rena Cohen accom¬ panied her. Blanch FinesiK’er entertained us by giggling all the time and Anna I ' ashinsky did some Oriental dances. He: And to think J missed it all! She: Yes, that part was fine but after that—. One night a terrific storm came up and the waves seemed to be as high as mountains. Allan Finlay, president of the I ' nited States Oil Can Company, tried to calm the waves by casting overboard barrels and barrels of his famous oil, but — sad to relate — the oil was no good. All of a sudden a territihc crash came and then a terrible jolt. Daniel Bason, the steward, shouted. “We’ve struck a rock!” Harold Adams, the captain, told Alex Toubman, llie wireless operator, to send an S. ( . S., hut the apparatus broke. Then there was a grand rush for the life preservers, hut it w ' as discovered that Bessie Horn, Marshall Rivkin, and Helen Brazel had been playing quoits with them and in their efforts to show their marksmanship, had cast them all overboard. Grace Keirstead and Re¬ becca Kaufman were trying to calm Rachel Rothbard who was running around trying to sell her watch cheai). lie: Yes! Yes! She: “Sol” Dorfman, Jacob Gordon, and Harry Gillespie manned the life-boats and we were all rowed to shore — all but “Polly” Nixon, who fell overboard and scream¬ ed when she saw a whale approaching. But, Arthur Klurfeld, hearing her cries, jumped in and argued with the whale until he persuaded him not to devour poor “Polly.” lie: Oh, yes, as usual Arthur won his argument. She: Well, we found ourselves stranded on this desert island and after giving up all hope of rescue we decided to set up a sort o f modern ITopia. He: Well, that’s the mosquito’s adenoids. But tell me are there any wild animals ■ about? (Terrible roaring heard off-stage ; man steps back a jjace; enter little dog; man screams and dashes for exit. Woman calls him back). She: Here, don’t be afraid, he won’t hurt you. lie: Keep that brute away from me! She: Why, he’s only a little lion cub being domesticated by William Bialick, our lion tamer. lie: (Advances slowly and finally pets animal). He is a cute little thing, but how about this modern Utopia business? She: Oh, of cour.se there was an argument as to who would be mayor. lie: Who won? She: Belle Ciere and Kdith Falk organized the women to support Madeline iUig- nole as mayoress, while the boys put up “Billy” Pomerantz. They settled it by alter¬ nating terms. He: Who held .some of the other offices? She: Oh, Henry (loldberg is head of the fire department and Beatrice Lane is con¬ stable. Isador Silverman, as barber, has just introduced a new style of bob, and Robert ixarotkin is dancing teacher. His best pupil is I essie Rapkin, the school ma’am. lie: By the way, aren’t there any savages around here? CLASS ' 5 O O K .She: Not the natives, but would you believe it, one day 1‘dthea Wdutniore, the il- la e dirt, winked at Joseph Bronstein and he’s been a raving maniac ever since. Oh no, the natives were peaceful until Asenath Cohen, Bessie Xorman, and h ' lorence Brown- stein, who had established a school for deaf and dumb cannibals, trying to teach them algebra and ICnglish literature, i nstituted a sixth period at which the natives rebelled and declared war. Morris Stone, however, promptly took command of the army and they’ve been jieaceful ever since. He: Say, what became of the (|uiet members of our class, Mabel Moriarty, I ' annie 1 limmelstein, and Agnes Molloy? She: Oh, they thought that the life here was too exciting, so they went into the interior to tr ' to disco er the origin of the “Owlet.” lie: ’es, that always was a mystery. By the way, where is e er body? She: There is a baseball game on with the nati es of Mumbo-jumbo, a neighbor¬ ing island. Francis Moynihan is our captain. He: Where did you get the ecjuipment? She: f)h, they use cocoanuts for baseballs and limbs of trees for bats. By the way, did you e ' cr drink the milk of a cocoanut? He: No thank you. She: Then you must try some. (Looking around). Here’s one. (0|)ens it up). Here, it’s really delicious. W ' e practically live on it. Try some. He: Well, I’ll try anything once. (Drinks). .Not so bad. But what else do you eat. She: Oh, Francis Davidson, the butcher, is realK’ an artist at his trade and Loris Wiley is dietitian. But, you know, you haven’t told me anything about the outside world. Did you say something about making a world tour. He: Why yes, let me show you something I ha ' e in my plane. (Exits. W’oman I)rimps. Man re-enters dragging a long string of colored license plates.) I.ook here! She: What on earth have you there? He: Why these are my aeroplane licen.ses. ' ou know planes have to have licen¬ ses for every country they pass through otherwise the pilot gets pulled in by the traffic cop. She: Did you see any of the members of our cla.ss spread over the world? He: (Pointing to one plate). ’es. Here, in .Africa, I met “ICd” Dunn who was just setting out on an elephant hunting exj edition. He told me that Rose White had just married prince Bon .Ami of Punjab. CLA into She: I always said Rose would make a shining marriage. Go on. lie: (Pointing). Here’s one from France. In Paris who do you think I saw? Alice Forman had just opened up a new modiste shop and Frances Hills was the lead¬ ing model. And right across the street Alfred Kotchen opened up a dressmaking shop. He had engaged Paul Johnson as model and Samuel Putin as window dresser. She: Samuel always was a fashion plate. What has become of the musical mem¬ bers of our class? lie: Oh, I almost forgot. In France, I also saw “Abe” Saltiesky and Edythe Cantor who have organized an orchestra called “The Broken Drums” — they can’t be beat. She: (Pointing to one of the plates). What’s this one? lie: Oh, that’s Germany and that reminds me — I saw Evelyn Lurie, the famous diver, give an exhibition with her mermaids, Florence Anderson, and Edith Herman, at the Julia Gaberman “Frolics.” She: Really! How about the other Gaberman girl, “Dolly?” Tie: Oh, “Dolly” is in England trying to vamp the Prince of Wales. She: (Pointing to another plate). What’s that queer looking one? He: That’s Spain where S. Harris Lasker has turned matador and is recognized as the chief bull thrf)wer of that country. And this cold looking one here represents Alaska where I met “.Si” Pitcoff trying to sell electric fans to the Eskimos. She: But now tell me of the people in the United States. He: Here’s a radio program that I saved. Listen! Helene Tobey will give a talk on “How to Keep That School-girl Complexion”; Professor A. Blank, F. O. B., B. ' . D., P. D. Q., will talk on “How I Bluffed My Way Through School”; Miss Sylvia Gladstein will give .several recitations; Miss Mildred McComl)e will inform the universe as to “How To Attain That Boyish Figure.” As a final number, the Weaver High School Choir with Joseph Freedman, leader, will broadcast the “Golden .Spoon.” Not so bad, eh? She: I should say not! What about the literary members of our class? lie: Oh, didn’t 1 tell you? drginia Merritt is taking the place of Beatrice Fair¬ fax gi ing advice to the lovelorn in the famous “DeBonis Weekly.” Esther Mallory has the “Foolish Question” column and Elodie .Salmon draws the cover designs. .She just put up her hair, you know. She: .Speaking of artists, what has become of Charles Burr? K CLASS BOO lie: Oh, Charles liiirr is a hcrniil on the South Sea Isles studying nature in the form of mermaids. Kr — er by the way, I met HImer Watson in New ’ork; he is selling the C ' .lassband Scenic Railway Stock. He brought me down to an undertaker’s over which is the sign “It is a Pleasure to be Buried by Douglas Miller.’’ He co¬ operates with Leonard Peskin, the newspaper reporter. Leonard just won a prize for getting the greatest number of pictures in the obituary column, even killing a man once for the sake of his picture when he ran short. She: ’es, I remember that even back in the W eaver days Iveonard had a craze for running pictures in the “Times.” But tell me, aren’t there any medical men in our class? He: To be sure. The funniest thing happened about a year ago. Louis Cilass- man engaged “Abe” Perlstein, the brilliant lawyer, in his suit against “l)a ' e” Garber, the dentist, who, he said, while boring a gold tooth, took the gold plate off Louis’ back collar button. She: “Dave” always was .so nonchalant — even in basketball, our scholarly Miriam (loldenberg? Say — how about He: Miriam is traveling with Fannie Weinstein as her secretary after writing a treatise on “W’as Hamlet Insane?” (Cireat tumult is heard off-stage). W’hat’s that? She: It must be the baseball game. I can see it from this hill-toj). (.She ascends ladder and looks off into the distance.) Oh! Benjamin Levy is at bat.
