CLASS BOOK 1926A—THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL DORANCE E. COLES “Dot” View the whole scene, with critic judgment scan, And then deny him merit if you can.

Dot” has a fine psychology of life. He is serious when there is need to be serious, but, when there is no need, he ' s well, you know what we mean. LORETTA COLLARD “Ruzzv” ‘T’was kin’ o’ kingdom come to look on sech a blessed cretur.” Northwest School : Athletic Association (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Girls’ League (3, 4) : Girls’ Business Club (3) ; Dramatic Club (3, 4) ; Leading part in “The Mourner.” Gee, you’re a peach, “Ruzzy”—never cross and so cute. MARGERET CONNERTON “Peggy” “Like—but oh ! how different.” Northeast School ; Athletic Association (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Inglesida Club (3) ; Girls’ League (3, 4). We never got to know you so very well, “Peg”, but you always had a smile for everyone anyway. CLARENCE W. CRANE “Cranie” And I will sit as quiet as a lamb, I will not stir, nor wince, nor speak a word.” Northwest School; Class Book Business Board; Athletic Association (1, 2, 3, 4). Buttercup” would be a better suited nickname, for in reality. Cranie” is just a little baby amidst a flock ot misunderstanding elephants. 11

CLASS BOOK 1926A—THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL PAUL M. CHRISTENSON “Christie” “But clay and clay differ in dignity, whose dust is both alike.” Northeast School ; Junior Usher (3) ; Assistant Business Manager of Class Book (4) ; Athletic Association (1, 2, 3, 4). Have you ever noticed “Christie’s” walk? With that martial tread of his, we wouldn’t be a bit surprised to set him in brass buttons some fine day. PEARL O. COHEN “Pat” “How pretty her blushing was, and how she blushed again.” Arsenal School ; Athletic Association (2, 3, 4) ; Caroline Hewins Literary Society (3, 4) ; Classical Club (3) ; Girls’ League (3, 4)’. That hair was a nuisance. Right. “Pat.” So hard to grow, and such a temptation to have it cut off again. You sure ought to know that geometry book by heart. SAMUEL HILLEY COHEN “Mookie” “Of manners gentle, of affections mild; In wit a man ; simplicity a child.” Arsenal School; Debating Club (3, 4), Treasurer (4); Commercial Club (4) ; Athletic Association (1, 2, 3, 4). We don’t believe that Mookie” could ever be awakened from his dreamy reverie by anything short of an earthquake. However, for our sake, let him dream on undisturbed. SAMUEL HENRY COHEN “Slim” “How now, my lord ! Why do you keep alone ?” Henry Barnard School; Athletic Association (1, 2, 3, 4). “Slim” isn’t very active in school affairs, but he has good reason not to be. His silence speaks for himself. 10

SARAH DU BROW “Sally” ‘‘A merry heart goes all the day.” Northeast School; Athletic Association (2, 3, 4) ; Girls’ Business Club (3, 4) ; Girls’ League (1, 2, 3, 4).

DUNCAN “Bob” “I never dare to write as funny as I am.” Northwest School; Caroline Hewins Literary Society (3); Girls’ Glee Club (2); Girls’ League (3, 4); Choir (4); “Owlet” Business Board (3) ; Chronicle” Editorial Board (4) ; Class Book Editorial Board. “Bobbie” we’re going to miss you when you go down South, but at last there won’t be any ice down there for you to fall through. In future years we’ll be looking for your name among the prominent poets of the day. KENNETH C. ELDRIDGE “Ken” “Thy voice is a celestial melody.” Peabody Grammar School, Petersburg, Va. ; Choir (2, 3, 4). “Ken” has a wonderful voice. Anyone, who has had the most excellent fortune of hearing it, will verify this state¬ ment. And he is a pianist, too. 12
