CLASS BOOK 1926A—THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL PAULINE ROSEN “Paul” Deep brown eyes running over with if lee— Blue eyes are pale and irrey eyes are sober : Bonnie brown eyes are the eyes for me.” Northeast School; Girls’ Leatrue (3, 4); Choir (2, 3, 4); Girls ' Glee Club (2, 3, 4) ; Lookout” Staff (4B). Pauline is one of the more quiet l ?) ones of our class, except at Glee Club meetings. “Paur ' raves for Lookout” meetings on Wednesdays, especially when she has been assigned “Choir Notes.” MAX ROSENBLUM “Red” A very snappy boy is ‘Red’ Whose freckles match his fiery head.” Northwest School; Glee Club (1, 2, 3); Choir (2, 3, 4); Commercial Club (2) ; French Club (2). Oh, Red 1” From some of the portrayals of nerve that you have displayed we fitrure that you need no nerve tonic. Well, keep it up. but you may die younit. WILLIAM ROSENFIELD “Rosy” “So much of beauty tortures me.” Arsenal School ; H. P. H. S. Boys’ Club (2) ; Boys’ Com¬ mercial Club (3, 4), Vice-President (4) ; Athletic Association (1, 2, 3, 4). In the role of detective, Rosy,” your Ionic was O. K., but as Our William”—well, we have our doubts. WILLIAM F.

But as our jumping cheerleader, Billie,” your fame is already confirmed. 21

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

Rose acquired a wonderful habit of learning (?) lessons during Choir for which she ought to be given a prize of four A’s. CECELIA H. SANOFSKY “I loved you for the winning charm That brought gay sunshine to the land.” Northeast School; Girls’ League (3, 4); Girls’ Business Club (3, 4) ; Ingleside Club (3) ; Athletic Association (2, 3). Cecelia is our bashful member, but we love her just the same.

After having been begged not to mention books or studies, there’s nothing left but clubs, and Lillian’s membership list speaks for itself, so what shall we say? MANUEL SEGAL “Manny” “The music in my heart I bore. Long after it was heard no more.” Northeast School; Athletic Association (1, 2, 3, 4) ; Choir 12, 3, 4) ; Boys’ Glee Club (2, 3, 4) ; Orchestra (2, 3, 4). “Manny”, we would like to know what you will do without your drum to bang on. I suppose you will also hold a seat in the Philharmonic as, ' your brother does, and that will make it quite a family affair. 22
