The Class Book of 1929A-Weaver High School MORRIS V. ALEXANDER “Morry” “A proper man as anyone shall see on a summer’s day.” North-west School. Boys’ Club ; A. A. ; Junior Usher. “Morry” became a “heap big frat man” in his Junior year and then he stepped out. He certainly had some “queens” in West Hartford and in Weaver. He was always quiet and well dressed in school, and almost too reserved in his studies. But, “Mori ' y,” stay serious, for it’s the serious men who succeed in life. FLORENCE ALTSHULER “Sanny” “Endow’d with sanctity of reason.” Bulkeley High School. “The Lookout” Board 3B, Pr esident; C. H. L. S. 4A ; Choir 2B, 4B ; Girls’ League 2A, 4B ; A. A. lA, 4B. Florence’s interest and devotion, to her work cannot escape notice. Her sincerity and hard work have stamped their mark upon her actions and, consequently, she is well respected. By the way, you should see “P ' lo” do an aesthetic dance. MILDRED L. BEIZER “Milly” “She is a woman, therefore may be wooed ; She is a woman, therefore may be won.” North-east School. Girls’ League; Senior Committee; A. A.; Ingleside Club 4A, 4B. Mildred is one of our best looking girls and, oddly enough, in view of this quality, very popular with the boys. Her dark, auburn hair has caught the fancy of many a boy and has been a source of envy to the girls. We know she’s had a good time at Weaver. 14

The Class Book of 1929A-Weaver High School EVERETT H. ADAMS, JR. “Steve” Is this that gallant, gay Lothario?” East High School, Rochester, N. Y. Athletic Association. Steve” came from Rochester, and immediately started to ride on the crest of a wave of popularity. This can only be taken favorably. We know that his quiet, unobtrusive manner and pleas¬ ant wit made him a favorite, and we wonder how much those arguments in Democracy class helped out. LUTHER P. ADAMS “Lu” At every word a reputation dies.” North-west School. A. A.; Boys’ Club ; Boys’ Commercial Club 2A, 4B, Secretary, President 4B ; Assistant Editor of The Lookout” 4B. One of Lu’s” chief characteristics is what may be called an expressive silence. We suspect, however, that his pen supplanted his tongue, for we know of his earnest work for The Lookout.” He is the kind of fellow who gets things done without much noise, and we know of few more admirable traits than this. JENNIE S. ADELMAN “Johnny” The pleasing punishment that women bear.” Arsenal School. Girls’ League 2A, 4B ; A. A. IB, 4B ; Chroni¬ cle” Typist 3B, 4B ; Class Book” Typist. Our expert stenographer ! “Johnny” knows that hard and con¬ scientious work is the secret to success, and no one has been more conscientious than she in her work for The Chronicle” and the “Class Book.” 13

The Class Book of 1929A-Weaver High School SAMUEL BELESKIE “Sam” “Men are but children of a larger growth.” North-east School. Boys’ Club; A. A. ; “Chronicle” Business Board 2A, 4B, Circulation Manager of “Chronicle” 3A; “Class Book” Business Board ; Choir 2A, 4B. “Sam” is the class Robin Hood. His jolly, smiling features are very much in the limelight when they choose to be. But “Sam” is modest—ah ! too modest, and he remains to the casual observer a very quiet young man. Don’t be deceived, though. Just look at those merry eyes. IRVING H. BERSON “Fat” “The soul of music slumbers in the shell. Till waked and kindled by the master’s spell.” North-east School. A. A. ; Boys’ Club, Treasurer 3A : Orchestra 2A, 4B ; Inter-High Orchestras 3B, 4B, Librarian ; Basketball Team 2B. Here’s another of those musical Berson’s. He could play most wind instruments and was Mr. Price’s mainstay. Though he was a good catcher, scholastic misfortune invariably kept him from the team. He made most of the inter-class teams, but did not succeed in his studies so well. “Fat’s” conscientious “plugging” as a Senior bodes well for him and shows that he’ll get somewhere in the future. ROSE BICOV “Ro” “What, my dear lady Disdain !” Chauncey Harris School. French Club 3A, 4B; C. H. L. S. 3A, 4B ; A. A. ; Girls’ League. Rose has the modern girl plainly written over her. Yet with Rose this seems to have proved an asset. Although she works after school, not in 227, you may be sure, she has plenty of time to be as gay and as “peppy” as ever. 15
