CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL tutorial H UE CLASS OK 1925A presents for your inspection the second edition of the Weaver Class Book. 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. J. t 7

CLASS BOOK OF 1925A — THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL JOHN 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
