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 ? ' 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 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
