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 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 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
