CLASS BOOK of 192 7A — Thomas Snell Weaver High School LOIS S. ABBE “Lo” “Rare is the union of cuteness and virtue.” Northwest School; Art-Crafts Club 2b—4b ; Ingle- side Club 2b—4b; Glee Club 3b—4b; Girls’ League 2b—4b ; Athletic Association 2a—4b ; Upper Choir 2b—-4b; Waitress at Boys’ Club Suppers 4a, 4b; Reception Committee 4b. Dainty little Lois ! We don’t think it’s right that the class picked you for the most conceited. Never mind, Chub, it isn’t everyone who has something to be conceited about. Say, listen, why didn’t someone ever write a book called, “Ladies Prefer Blondes” ? We won’t tell all we know, though. BETTY APPLEBAUM “The countenance is the portrait of the soul.” Arsenal School; Business Club 3a—4b, Vice-Presi¬ dent and Treasurer 4a ; C. H. L. S. 4a, 4b, Executive Member 4a ; Girls’ League 2b—4b ; Athletic Associa¬ tion la—4b. We didn’t hear from you, often, “Betts,” in that big, noisy room of 227, but once in a while we looked over at the aisle near the door and saw that sweet, angelic face and that aureole of golden hair. Are you really as angelic as you look ? Well we’ve heard nothing to the contrary as yet, but- HILDA ARON “Hil” “For all vain wishes in her prevented By a fortunate habit of being contented.” Northeast School; Girls’ League 2b—4b ; Athletic Association 2a—4b ; Girls’ Business Club 3b—4b ; Ingleside Club 4b. Another one of that silent throng in the first aisle, weren’t you, Hilda ? Too bad we never got to know you better. You seemed awfully nice, but you didn’t give us much of a ' chance. RUTH L. BARBER But all the pleasure that I find Is to maintain a quiet mind.” Girls’ League la—4b. Ruth was one of the very few who kept ’27A on the Honor Roll and that in itself deserves great commendation. We never got to know you very well, but we liked you just the same, and we’re awfully glad to have you with us. You have the sincerest wishes of the Class of ’27A for your future. 6

CLASS BOOK of 192 7A — Thomas Snell Weaver High School LOUIS BERMAN “Shrimp” “We saw him upon nearer view !” Northeast School ; Choir 2b—4b; Leaders’ Corps 2b—4b ; Athletic Association la—4b ; Boys’ Club 4a, 4b; Classical Club 3a—4b ; Glee Club 3b—4b, Assist¬ ant Librarian 4b. Louis is quite small, but very much in evidence. His wit and good-natured humor are as bright as his rosy cheeks. His attitude is care free, but we find him the best of companions. He’s one reason why the Class of ’27A is considered cute! Ain’t that the truth ? SAMUEL H. BERSON bam “I crave alone for peace and rest And feel that it is best.” Northeast School ; Athletic Association la—4b; Orchestra la—4b ; Boys’ Club 4a, 4b. When some of the girls say “Sam” is quiet, the boys just look at one another, and smile meaningly. They know that he isn’t as quiet as he appears to be. He is surely a ccrtnical fellow, and we often see a laughing group with “Sam” at its center. We’re glad he made double promotion, but wish he’d been in Room 227 with us, to make our sojourn in that room even more enjoyable. He’s a nice fellow. RAYMOND L. BIALICK “Bow-wow” “O bed ! O bed ! delicious bed ! That heaven upon earth to weary head 1” Northwest School; Athletic Association la—4b; Boys’ Club 4b; Football Team 1924-25-26 ; Basketball Team 1924-25-26. We began to wonder, after a while, if “Ray” had no clocks home. His tardiness has come to be a tradition among us. “Ray” has “tried” for more athletic teams than any other of our number, and has come to be an athlete of parts. His bellowing and happy laughter has lightened many an afternoon’s practice. Although he doesn’t make himself known much, socially, we like him a lot. RUTH E. BLESSING “Harpy” “She dwelt among the untrodden ways.” Northeast School; Girls’ League 2b—4b ; Athletic Association 3b, 4a ; Choir 4b. “Harpy” is one of those quiet girls who are better listeners than they are talkers, and we must say that in Harpy’s” case a lot is hidden behind that slow smile of hers. We predict something nice for “Harpy” in the future. She’s such a pleasant girl. 7
