The Class Book of 1929A-Weaver High School FRANCES GLADSTEIN “Fran” “They say there are sixty different ways in which a woman may like a man.” North-west School. Girls’ League 2A, 4B ; A. A. lA, 4B ; Girls’ Business Club 3A, 4B ; French Club 3A, 4B, President 4B. Frances is one with personality plus, but somehow one doesn’t appreciate it until one talks with her. “Fran” is one of our best dancers, and how she can glide ! SYLVIA C. GLADSTEIN “Syb” “And mistress of herself though China fall.” Henry Barnard School. Girls’ Business Club 3B, 4B ; Girls’ League 2A, 4B; A. A. 3A, 4B ; “The Lookout” Typist; “Class Book” Typist. Sylvia always seemed to be engrossed in her stenography. And how she can tickle the keys of a typewriter! She certainly got plenty of practice working for the “Class Book.” ALBERT N. GLASSMAN “Al” “None but himself can be his parallel.” Washington Street School. Glee Club 2B, 4B; Dramatic Club (Producers’ Group) 2B, 4B ; Boys’ Club; A. A. ; Choir 2A, 4B; ’Varsity Squad, Football. “Al” is noted for his football prowess, his love for chemistry, and his corned beef sandwiches. In football he is the mainstay ot the team, staying mainly on the bench. In chemistry he covers himself with glory and also with nitric acid. “Al” is a “con- noozer” in good foods through his long experience at the Empire Delicatessen. 20

The Class Book of 1929A-Weaver High School ARTHUR L. DUBROW “Art” For I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Henry Barnard School. Boys’ Club; A. A.; Choir 2A, 4B ; Glee Club 2A, ‘IB ; ’Varsity Football 4B; Member of Motto Com¬ mittee. Perseverance must be Art’s” middle name. It took him three years to make the football team and though he didn’t get his studies easily, he usually got pretty good marks. His bulk always made him a tower of awe in the class. He knew almost every girl in the school but was really not so “fast” as he would have one believe. “Art” should be a man of weight in his big chosen “profession.” FLETCHER J, FRELIGH “Fletch” “Some mute, inglorious Milton here may I’est.” North-west School. Boys’ Club ; A. A. Fletcher is quiet and unassuming, and does not mingle a great deal with the rest of the fellows. His hobby is photography and he has a great interest in that art. ABE S. GARBER “Abe” “Canos hii-suta capillos.” Hartford Public High School. A. A. ; Basketball Squad 4A. Abe came to us from Hartford High, and immediately made his presence felt by rattling off Latin rules at a breath-taking pace. Gradually, he settled down to normal and became an ordinai’y Weav ' erite. Abe is an optimist of the rarest sort. He believes that the younger generation is going to the devil, but is enjoying the delightful descent. 19

The Class Book of 1929A-Weaver High School NATHAN GLIDER “Ned” “A youth to fortune and to fame unknown.” North-east School. Boys’ Club ; A. A. “Ned” claims the distinction of never having worn long pants to school. Though he’s quite bashful, he knows a “peach” when he sees her (probably as the result of intense study of his private art gallery). His “nooz donnonz” certainly amused us in French. ABRAHAM R. GOLDBERG “Abe” “Of manners gentle, of affections mild.” North-east School. Boys’ Club ; Choir 2A, 4B ; A. A. “Abe” has done something that few Weaverites have accom¬ plished. In his four years at Weaver, he never recited. But how he could talk outside of school! On entering high school, he be¬ came quite serious and even took five subjects for a time. He made up for this by taking only three as a Senior. He once used an electric lawnmower when he needed a shave. But, say what you may, his Lizzies, which he could take apart and reconstruct without Bolt 752 or Cog 96, were the marvels of all Weaver. BENJAMIN L. GOLDENBERG “Ben” “On their own merits, modest men are dumb.” North-east School. A. A. ; Boys’ Club; Classical Club 3A; Junior Usher; Editorial Board of “Class Book”; Honor Society 4B. When “Ben” entered Weaver he crammed and made the honor roll a couple of times. He also wrote some stirring articles and was a member of the Latin sharks. “Ben” has always been a bit girl shy, although he is an admirer of the female sex. But after all this, a man of his thinking capacity ought to get far in his life’s work. “Ben’s” going to be a dentist—let’s all pull with him. 21
