The Class Book of 1929A-Weaver High School EVELYN E. KILRAY “Ev” “Red as a rose is she.” North-west School. Ingleside Club 2A, 4B; Girls’ League; A. A. ; Upper Choir 3JJ, 4B. Three cheers for Evelyn. She’s a good sport, a good athlete, and a staunch and loyal Weaverite. While she is not an outstand¬ ing member of our class, she is a good citizen, which in itself deserves commendation. ANNA E. KLEIMAN “Ann” “She is so constant, and so kind.” North-east School. Choir 2A, 4B ; A. A. 3B, 4B ; Girls’ League lA, 4B ; Ingleside Club 2B, 4B. A fellow will never make a mistake by taking “Ann” along on a motor trip—she took Auto Mechanics. “Ann” is quite cute. She’s also ambitious and is capitalizing her knowledge gained in auto mechanics by managing her father’s store. MALCOLM R. KNOX “Mai” “Man delights me not, nor woman either.” Hartford Public High School 1925B. Boys’ Club 3B, 4B ; A. A. 3B, 4J3 ; Arts-Crafts Club 3B, 4B. Here is another of our silent brigade. “Mai” is well up among the class in scholarship. We hear he aspires to become an artist. If he applies himself as diligently and efficiently to art as he has to his studies, he can’t help being a success. 25

The Class Book of 1929A-Weaver High School PAUL V. JOHNSON “Val” “I am the very pink of courtesy.” North-west School. ‘‘The Lookout” Editor-in-Chief 3B, 4B : Commercial Club 4A ; Debating Club 4A ; A. A. ; Boys’ Club. Paul is quiet, and a hard worker. For the past year he has devoted most of his extra time to “The Lookout”, and his deft editorial hand is making itself shown in the paper. Unlike most story-book editors, Paul is not a grouch but a “regular fellar.” JONAS A. KAUFMAN “Jo” “I am not only witty in myself, but the cause that wit is in other men.” North-west School. Classical Club 3A, 4A; Arts-Crafts Club 4A, 4B ; Boys’ Club; A. A. ; “The Lookout” Editorial Board 4A; Editorial Board of “Class Book” ; Tie Committee. “Jo” is the jolly jester, the crafty cartoonist, and the wily wisecracker of the class. He once tried to write a serious theme, but gave it up as a bad job. The English teachers have since used up numerous red pencils on his masterpieces of coordinated thought. As for his ties—oh, his ties! they reach the heights of flamboyant, fantastic, and feverish draperies. SOPHIE KENIG “So” “A still, small voice.” North-west School. Girls’ League; French Club 3A, 4B; Dramatic Club 4A, 4B ; Editorial Staff of “Class Book.” We all look with wondering eyes at the exceedingly neat and trim Sophie. How does she achieve her meticulousness ? Ah! That’s one of her dark secrets 1 There is a merry humor and a love for beautiful dancing peeping out of her brown eyes. We really envy and admire such daintiness ! 24

The Class Book of 1929A-Weaver High School LILLIAN KULICK “Peppy” “My loi ' cl, you know what Virgil sings Woman is variable and most mutable.” Arsenal School. Choir 4A, 4B ; C. H. L. S. 4B ; A. A. ; Girls’ League. We are glad that “Peppy” decided to come back this term. With her came bobbed hair and silver-rimmed glasses. We hardly recognized her, even though she is the same dignified, sweet one. We should like to know just where she acquired the knowledge for her arguments. DAVID W. LEADER “Dave” “He,was a burning and a shining light.” North-west School. Boys’ Club ; A. A. ; Debating Club 3A, 4A, Secretary-Treasurer 4A ; Dramatic Club 4A, 4B, President 4B ; Glee Club 2A, 4A, Librarian 3B, President 4A; Choir 2A, 4B ; Junior Usher ; Honor Society, President 4B ; Second Scholarship Prize 2A ; Ring Committee; President of Class. Despite his black thatch, “Dave” is 1929A’s “white-headed boy.” Since he has won every class and club election in which he has participated, it is safe to assume that he is, perhaps, a bit popular. We suggest that he adopt as his motto, “Stick with the unshaven chin, and ride to victory.” MILLICENT M. LEADER “Mil” “Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.” North-west School. Ingleside Club 3A, 3B ; Junior Orchestra 3A, 3B ; Girls’ League; A. A. ; Color Committee; Editorial Hoard of “Class Book.” Millicent has a lovely smile that often displays her pearly teeth. She has a reputation for cheerfulness, and we have never seen her quarrel. She holds, therefore, among the girls, about the same degree of popularity as her brother does among the boys. 26
