The Class Book of 1929A-Weaver High School ROSE J. MEISTER “Mickey” “Reproof on her lip, but a smile in her eye.” North-east School. Girls’ League ; A. A. Rose appears to the majority as being quiet but to those who know her she’s not quite so. We admire her faithfulness as a friend and her pleasant manners. PAUL MITNICK “Peche” “For even though vanquished, he could argue still.” A. A. ; Boys’ Club; Debating Club 3A, 4A ; Classical Club 3A, 4B, President 4A, Executive Committee; Exchange Editor of “The Lookout” 4A ; Class Orator. Paul talks like Dumas’s “Porthos”—“11 parle pour le plaisir de parler et de s’entendre.” He talks an especially fine game of handball. No description of Paul would be complete without men¬ tioning his temerity in the “chem lab.” There he has distinguished himself by his subduing of the fiery magnesium, and the death blow which he dealt to hydrogen chloride. FLORENCE E. MOFFITT “Flo” “Not stepping o’er the bounds of modesty.” North-west School. Girls’ League 3B, 4B ; A. A. 3B, 4B. Florence is so quiet that she is scarcely noticed. But to one who has observed her closely, she appears to be very conscientious, grave, a fine sport, and a good athlete. 29

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

The Class Book of 1929A-Weaver High School EUNICE MONTEI “Eune” “O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo ?” North-west School. Dramatic Club 3B, 4B ; Arts-Crafts Club 2A, 4B, Vice-President and Treasurer 3B, Secretary 4A, President 4B : Girls’ League lA, 4B, Executive Board 2B, 3A ; A. A. ; Ingle- side Club 2B, 3A. Eunice is a very quiet and innocent little girl in school. But, did you ever see her in action? Pep? Speed? Just watch her. She outdoes them all. REUBEN PEISS “Ruby” “Of all those arts in which the wise excel. Nature’s chief masterpiece is writing well.” North-east School. A. A. ; Boys’ Club ; First Scholarship Prize 2A ; First Scholarship 4A ; Junior Usher ; “Chronicle” 3B, 4B, Editor 4B ; Honor Society ; Editor of “Class Book” ; Salutatorian. “Ruby” has so many brains that if he had a couple more he’d need to be twins. The way he could talk French and quote Latin rules was nobody’s business. He didn’t go out for much except “The Chronicle”, but there he wrote some good editorials. If he makes the honor roll of life as consistently as he has in school (and he probably will), he’ll be a great man. ROBERT J. PETERSON “Pete” “Beware the fury of a patient man.” Weaver Boys’ Commercial Club 4A ; Reception Committee; A. A. ; Boys’ Club. Robert is one of our most cheerful classmates. He just breezes along in a happy-go-lucky way, never seeming to be going anywhere in particular, but endearing himself to all. He didn’t seem to know what an enemy was ; in fact, the only one that could incense him was an English teacher. 30
