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

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 DOKOTHY E. LEVINE “Dot” Brevity is the soul of wit.” Arsenal School. French Club 3A, 4B ; Girls’ Business Club 3A, 4B : Girls’ League ; A. A. ; The Lookout” Board 4A. Dot” just seems to express the height of Dorothy. Yet her stature has by no means impaired her ability. Dorothy is witty and to her may be applied the three C’s—Cool, Calm, and Collected. MORTON J. LEVINE “Congo” For most men (till by losing rendei-ed sager). Will back their own opinions by a wager.” North-west School. Boys’ Club; A. A. ; Upper Choir 2A, 4B ; Classical Club 2A, 3A ; Junior Usher; Honor Society 4A, 4B ; Glee Club 2A, 4A ; Business Board of Class Book.” Morton’s angelic, freckled features have long been a landmark in Weaver. He is as conspicuous and fiery as Mussolini. He reached the climax of his career when he was termed “pugnacious” by a certain Latin teacher, but fell to the lowest depths when he was termed “Cutie” by another one. LEON LEVITOW “Tub” “ ’Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.” North-west School. A. A. ; Boys’ Club ; Classical Club 3A, 4A ; Glee Club 2A, 2B ; Choir 2A, 4B ; Football Team 4B ; Tennis Team 4A ; Baseball Squad 4A ; Basketball Squad 3A, 4B ; Class Marshal. Tub”, a six-foot monarch, was one of the best-liked of our class. He was quite a sheik” and his massive frame attracted many of the weaker sex. As a rule he got in “dutch” with his teachers but then took out his wrath on Congo (“Tubby” was really unaware of the full extent of his strength). “Tubby’s” argumenta¬ tive instinct will get him into many a hole, but his great size will counterbalance this and make him a man of great heft in his life’s work. 27
