Some athletes we have can’t measure up to her. ROSE MANILLI My tongue within my lips I rein; For who talks much must talk in vain.” Arsenal School ; Girls’ Business Club (4) ; Girls’ League (3) ; Athletic Association (3, 4).

Red” has become a sleuth in the matter of getting copy for the paper. Didn’t you enjoy senior English, though ? R. THOMAS MAZZUCCHI »« rn i I oniiny “He’s got taking ways. Northeast School ; Choir 12, 3, 4) ; Boys’ Glee Club (3, 4) ; Athletic Association (2, 3. 4) ; Dramatic Club (4), “The Florist Shop” 14). “Tommy”, you are another one of those boys who take six subjects to make up a lost half-year. Let ' s hope you always have someone handy who has pencils and paper to satisfy you. Mr. Crowell’s English Lit. class can give evi¬ dence to that. However, we must give you credit for your work as Mr. Slovsky. 19

CLASS BOOK 1926A—THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL MARY LAVITT “So thou be good, slander doth but approve thy worth the greater.” Bellevue Junior High School, Richmond, Va. ; Girls’ League (4) ; Athletic Association (4). Mary is the class mouse, but her peeps are often heard in wisdom’s power. HYMAN LIBERMAN “Smoke” “A stalwart lad was he.” Northeast School ; French Club (4) ; Rifle Club (3) ; Science Club (3, 4) ; Choir (2, 3, 4) ; Boys’ Glee Club (4) ; Athletic Association (1, 2, 3, 4). From your nickname one might think you would almost fade away, but one has only to gaze on you to find that quite the opposite is true. We admire your independence, “Smoke !” LILLIAN J. LONDON “Lil” ’ I conversation overhear never, with important air.” Alfred E. Burr School ; Girls’ Glee Club (3, 4) ; Choir (2, 3, 4) ; Girls’ Business Club (3, 4) ; Girls’ League (3, 4) ; Athletic Association (4). We hear Lillian seldom, but when she speaks—all hark !

CLASS BOOK 1926A—THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL WILLIAM McCOMBE “Pinky” “Red and fiery and very wiry.” Northwest School; Athletic Association (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Base¬ ball Team (3, 4). Well, “Pinky,” it seems as though it were only the other day that you were doing your stuff on the diamond. You were not very big, to be sure, old boy, but oh what a flash on grounders ! HOWARD E. MILLOT “Frenchy” “You had but to gaze in his face to find the true ex¬ pression of the master.” Northeast School; Commercial Club (4) ; Athletic Associa¬ tion (2, 3, 4). We don’t imagine that you will ever be a money collector, “Frenchy,” but you sure became a master of the art down in the lunchroom. MIRIAM PODNETSKY “Mins” “She is a winsome wee thing. She is a handsome wee thing. She is a bonny wee thing. This sweet little friend of ours.” Northeast School; Classical Club (3, 4), Executive Com¬ mittee (3), Secretary (4) ; Girls’ League (3, 4) ; Girls’ League “School Revue” (4B) ; Caroline Hewins Literary Society (3, 4); French Club (3, 4), Seci-etary (4A), Executive Com¬ mittee (4B) ; Athletic Association (3, 4) ; Class Historian. Our historian is just irresistible, a fact of which she is wholly ignorant, to be sure? Great things are expected of you just the same, my little ’un. KENNETH ROBINSON “Knockout” “His nickname is ‘Knock-out’ A nickname to dare. But its meaning is void Where the sex is so fair.” Northwest School ; Orchestra (4) ; Rifle Club (4) ; Debat¬ ing Club (3, 4) ; Athletic Association (3, 4). Don’t you see your resemblance to Tom Mix ? Maybe ! But your nickname doesn’t prove it. It ought to be Dempsey. 20
