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

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 NATHAN LIEBERMAN “Nate” “A little saving is no sin.” North-east School. Boys’ Club; A. A. ; Choir 2A, 4B ; Glee Club 2A. “ ‘Nate’ Lieberman’s a printer’s son And a printer he’ll become.” Yes, he has that mark of most printers—eye-glasses. “Nate” was a good Boy Scout and meat-man. After the first hundred cuts he hardly chopped up his hands. As an ice-skater he’ll always be as good an arm-breaker. But “Nate” must be given credit as a plugger. He plods along his own weird course, but he usually gets there just the same. ITRIA L. LOMBARDO “E” “Bright gem instinct with music, vocal spark.” Brown School. Choir lA, 4B ; Glee Club 2A, 3B ; Girls’ League ; Girls’ Leaders’ Corps lA, 4B ; A. A. ; Ingleside Club 2B, 4B ; Arts- Crafts Club 4A, 4B ; “The Lookout” 4A, 4B. Itria is a lively and merry girl. Her bright-colored clothing is a proof of her merry spirit. All joking aside, if you haven’t heard Itria sing, there’s another good thing you’ve missed. MARTINA C. LYNCH “Tina” “I love tranquil solitude.” North-west School. Girls’ League; A. A. ; Business Board ol “Class Book” ; French Club 4B. Martina never seems to idle much, but is eager to get her work done. She is another member of the Latin quartette. She does enjoy an occasional vacation on Friday, however. Martina knows her work, but if she has any doubt on a topic, she refuses any attempt to make a recitation—a characteristic which oft be¬ wildered both her teachers and her friends. 28
