A., la-4b; Boys’ Club, la-4b; Football Stiuad, 2b, 3b, 4b. Benny was a rare character, as rare as a salt shaker in the Weaver lunch room. There must have been something the matter with the watches he won as an amateur prize-fighter. Yet Benny’s fist had more effect than a lullaby, which can be witnessed by several members of the class.

His hai)py-go-lucky nature never worried itself, but he surprisingly made up most of his back work. We must not forget his creative genius in composing excuses for his frequent tardinesses and absences. Luck must certainly be with you. Irving.

Bea’s deliberate manner was rarely spiced up” by a change in her disjiosition, though her hair leaned toward the auburn hue. Because of her .general good humor, she was welcomed in every circle.

Caroline is quite a jovial soul who possesses a rare sense of humor which she discloses to but few. Seeing her saunter along the corridors between periods, one would never believe that she is the conscientious person we know her to be. 11

George was always so modest and unassuming that we scarcely knew whether or not he was in 240, and therefore he was voted our quietest boy. In fact he was so quiet that most of the class never learned of his ability in cartooning, although many a teacher would have squirmed, had he seen George’s sketches. ADlbLE BROWN “A still, sDiall voice.” Arsenal ; Girls’ League, la-4b ; A. A. Never tardy. Adele’s frequent absences made her quite unknown during her four years at Weaver. Her work was diligently pursued and kept up to standard. CiKORCiE BRUC; “Wearily sit and listen.” H. P. H. S. ; Boys’ Club, lb-4b ; A. A.. lb-4b ; Choir, 2a-4a. George, who barely escaped capturing the title of being our laziest boy, is noted for his silent recitations. His attempts in French gave us many hilarious moments. 13
