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 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 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
