V ’ • ■ ; Irving Stanley Crouse passed on October 2, 2012 � at home in Hubbards, Nova Scotia, age 98. Irving , was born in Waterloo, Nova Scotia but spent many years in the United States, graduating from Weaver High School, the Morse School of Business and serving ' � in WWII in the Army Air Force. For many years he lived in Windsor Locks, CT, raising his family before returning to Nova Scotia. , Irving loved all sports, in particular baseball and football. For many years he was an avid hunter and fisherman and loved all animals and the outdoors. A terrific dancer with a love of music, he . and his wife Greta enjoyed going to many dances throughout their life together. Irving had an adventurous spirt, a natural curiosity about the world and an incredibly funny | . ' sense of humor. Whatever he did, he did quietly and without calling attention to himself. Irving leaves behind his beloved wife Greta and children Gail Marinone (John), Stephanie Guglielmone (Thomas) Jeffrey (Joan), Marlene and Stacey MacDonald (Darryl), 8 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. ■ 4 Property of «r m V t THE i5)33A ' Published by the (graduating Qlass of the Thomas Snell Weaver High School Hartford, Conn. To a member of the faculty, who is more than a teacher, whose classes are highly interesting as well as instructive, whose friendly spirit is a delight to his pupils, Mr. Philip H. Dow, A. M. We, the Glass of 1933A, dedicate our Glass Book, “The Echo” AERIAL VIEW OF THE THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH Forezvord E have endeavored to make this book unusual. The name is different; the photographs are larger; the write-ups are longer and entirely complimentary; the original material is supposedly, if not actually, humorous. Nevertheless, the idea behind the compiling of this book has been the same as that of previous Class Rooks. It has been published in order to bring back memories of happy hours and ecstatic moments. If we have succeeded in this purpose, our work shall not have been in vain. Our heartfelt thanks go to Miss Elizabeth Craig, our faculty advisor, for her earnest assistance in making the “Echo” bigger and better in more ways than one. S. L. T. WLAVLR FACULTY William C.

P. H. S.; A. A.; Girls’ League, Senior Mem¬ ber, Scholarship Committee; Girls’ Business Club; “Lookout” Board; Typing Board. Eva (one of the t vo famous Adel- man girls with whose presence Weaver was graced) is the very personification of sparkle and enthusiasm. Her ready smile is one of her greatest charms and it certainly helped her to make friends when she came here from Hartford High School. In the short time she has been here, “Eve” has served ably as typist on the “Lookout” board and on the Scholarship Committee of the Girls’ League. ’Tis said that her bubbling spirits are quite as attractive to the male half of our class as they are to the girls. We hope “Eve” will be able to keep up her reputation as a “gloom-chaser” in after years. [ 14 ] Fortona Fort H. P. H. S.; A. A.; Girls’ League; Girls’ Leaders’ Corp; Girls’ Bascress Club, H. P. H. S. “Lil” is the other half of that popu¬ lar couple, the Adelmans. She is one of the most sophisticated products of this modern age which we have in our class. One never saw Lillian without noticing her clothes, which gave her the appearance of having just stepped down from a page in Vogue. Her care¬ ful grooming gave her an air of dis¬ tinction which was apparent to every one around her. She was always agree¬ able and popular with both sexes. The broken hearts Lillian has no doubt left in her wake are ample testimony of this young lady’s charms. Although she was a member of our class for only a year and a half since her transferring here from H. P. H. S., Lillian made a place for herself and will always be remembered by her classmates. ii)xis Favit THE ECHO AMELIA ANGELO Holcomb St. School; A. A.; Girls’ League Scholarship Fund; Senior Choir. Here we have a living example of that time-worn axiom “Silence is golden.” Because of Amelia’s modest, quiet manner, few of us have come to know her well during her four years in Weaver. Although Amelia was not talkative, that cannot be held against her, as very few of us have had happy experiences connected with people who are inclined to talk too much. We have been told that she is quite able in athletics in spite of the fact that she seldom showed this in school. If Amelia retains her reserved, unassuming atti¬ tude in later life, we are sure she will succeed in anything she undertakes. RITA JANET ARONSON East Hartford High; A. A.; Girls’ League. To all outward appearances, at least, Rita is a nice, quiet girl. None of us knew Rita well because she didn’t enter our class until she was a Lower Junior, having come from East Hartford High School. Despite the fact that Rita was unobtrusive in school, we have it from reliable sources that she was quite vivacious out of school. It is said that she plays a piano exceptionally well, dances very well, is a good sport, and is full of “pep.” Her laugh achieved great renown in history and English classes, and all who know her consider her a charming girl. [ IS ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit “Sadie” SADIE BACKER Northeast School; Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club; Class Book Typist; Girls’ Baseball Team; Never Tardy. Sadie is so quiet that many of her classmates don’t really know her. We unfortunates regret this, and envy those who have the pleasure. However, to those who do know her, she is a very pleasant companion. Snobbishness and grumpiness are not in her character, for she is always oblig¬ ing and agreeable. A ready smile for all her friends and acquaintances is a part of her charm and she is per¬ petually good natured and jolly. Sadie was always one of the first girls to be in school in the morning and did her work conscientiously and pains¬ takingly. With such adequate equip¬ ment — cheerfulness, helpfulness, and amiability, we are sure that the business world will find her a welcome addition. ETHEL VIOLA BAILEY North West School; A. A.; Girls’ League; Senior Choir. Viola was one of the few intrepid female members of the classes in two of our most difficult subjects, chemistry and geometry. This fact alone, we think, deserves praise, for scarce indeed were those of her sex who ventured to try their luck in these rather formidable lines. There’s one thing we would like to ask “Vi.” Every afternoon after school, she is driven home in state in a blue car. Now, what we’re anxious to find out is who this kind and interested young gentleman is. Is it your uncle, your grandfather, or some other well- meaning relative, eh, “Vi”. [ 16 ] Fortnea Fortibus Favit THE “Booky” BEULAH BARMASH Northeast School; A. A.; CJirls’ League, Member¬ ship Committee; Girls’ Business Club, Executive Board; “Lookout” Typing Board; Choir; Class Book Typist; No Demerits; Never Tardy; Bank Cashier; Inglesitle Club. Beulah was a familiar figure in the halls of our clear old school. This demure young lady was always neatly and carefully dressed. We hear from her friends that “Bookie” can play the piano rather well, being attracted more to the lively popular songs than the more sedate classics. Although not a member of the Weaver Dramatic Club, Beulah was quite active in the Florence Nightingale Club, a group which several times presented skits for our Girls’ League. While it was not easy for her to make friends, Beulah made herself indispensable to her own circle of companions. ECHO “Pickles” ISADORE HYMEN BELESKIE Northeast School; Advertising Manager, Assistant Circulation Manager and Editor of Music of “Lookout”; Boys’ Club; Choir; Inter-High School Orchestra; Senior Orchestra; Senior Glee Club, Pres¬ ident and Vice-President; Member of Reception Com mittee. “Pickles’ ” strength could not be judged by his size, for he derived great stamina from Grape Nuts. He could be frequently seen displaying his muscles whenever a question of strength arose. His vim and vigor were noticeable mostly when he was violently beating on the kettle-drums. He was one of the most valuable members of the Senior and Inter-High Orchestras. His ability to play the drums and play them well will be an asset to him in future times. “Pick” was also a “whiz” when it came to playing golf, and he could be heard to utter frequent challenges when the subject was brought up. [ 17 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit SUSIE BENMAOR SARAH BOGORATT Northwest School; Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club, Chairman of the Fund Committee. “Susie” was among the quieter element in our school and to the casual observer appeared to be extremely reticent and rather shy. However, her sociability became apparent when one became intimate with her. She was always willing to help, — especially in Room 216 when the regular gathering was held every morning to read short¬ hand. “Susie” was always unobtrusive, kept to herself most of the time and did not participate in many of the school activities. Shorthand is her major subject, and she takes a great deal of interest in it, always studying diligently and conscientiously, doing well in her class. Northeast School; A. A.; Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club; Glee Club; Ingleside Club; “Lookout” Typist; Senior Choir. Although “Sue” is one of the more quiet and inactive members of our class, those who know her best appre¬ ciate her loyalty and affability. They do say she shows herself very much to advantage on a dance floor. History was one of her favorite studies and “Sue” availed herself of many of the courses in this subject offered here. One of her most outstanding traits was her faculty for sympathizing with any about her who were in difficulties. In the opinion of her immediate compan¬ ions, Sarah will always be, as I heard one of them express herself, “one of the most understanding girls I’ve ever known”. [ 18 ] Fort iina Fortibuis Favit THE JOSEPH EDWARD BORAWSKY Holcomb Street School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Inter- class Fixrtball. This young fellow had the distinction of forming a vital part of Weaver gatherings of any sort without letting others know about it. Indeed, “Joe” was so retiring that in order to get material for this write-up, we had to interview him personally and ask him to tell us something about himself. Alas, “Joe” is also exceedingly modest, and he blushed becomingly and muttered a few apologies during the interview, whereupon we gave up. Despite his desire to remain quiet under all circumstances, “Joe” was recognized by his seniors-in-law as being one of the premier M. T. S.’s — (Master of Tall Stories) in the class. ECHO JOHN FRANCIS BRITT Northwest School; A. A.; Hoys’ Club; Dramatic Club, Vice-President, Treasurer; Basketball; Football; Interclass StKcer. “Johnnie,” although rather short in stature, is quite stocky and his legs are a la Babe Ruth. He proved himself to be an actor De Luxe by his great work in the plays, “She Stoops to Conquer” and “Vanity”, because of the facility and skill with which he took his parts. In the former, his wild and crazy antics so amused the audience, that he re¬ ceived a great ovation, and immediately became popular as a player. Since his grammar school days, John has ac¬ quired a great many friends, especially among the girls, because he is the for¬ tunate possessor of sex appeal, which all good dramatic performers some¬ how or other seem to have. [ 19 ] Fortuna Fortibus Fa ' vit MILDRED TITANIA BROMBERG Central Junior High School, New Britain; A. A.; Girls’ League, Play Committee, “Lookout” Editorial Board; C. H. L. S., President and Treasurer; Honor Society; Girls’ Debating Club; Class Historian; Never Tardy; Class Book Editorial Board. “Mil” came to us from New Britain ’way back when we were upper fresh¬ men, and she has been a familiar sight in the halls of dear old Weaver ever since. She did not participate, to any great extent, in our school affairs, but we know that she had the ability and the geniality that goes toward the mak¬ ing of many friends. We have heard that “Mil” is quite an actress. At any rate, she was elected class historian, and her dramatic ability made our class history exceedingly interesting. Her ambition is to major in a study of literature. SYLVIA CHARLOTTE BURRILL Northeast School; A. A.; Girls’ League; Girls’ Glee Club; Girls’ Business Club; French Club; Honor Society; C. H. L. S.; Class Book Typist; Choir; Never Late; No Demerits. On account of her studious nature, “Syl” did not spend much time in the social life of Weaver; consequently she was not well known by most of her classmates. However, her diligent studying availed her much, for she was one of the brightest girls in our class. Always quietly capable, “Syl’s” out¬ standing characteristic was her precise¬ ness and conscientiousness in all her work. Her best work was done in French and history, although she stood well in all her subjects. She is very friendly and good-natured, and is always concerned over the troubles of her friends. [ 20 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit THE ECHO AURELIA LILLIAN CICCOSANTI ROBERT COHEN Holcuinh Street School; A. A.; Girls’ League; Choir; Inglesidc Club; Leaders’ Corps; Indeclub; Girls’ Interclass baseball; Basketball; Soccer; Girls’ Glee Club. “Chick” was an ardent devotee of sports of all kinds. She seldom missed a football game, and was one of Weaver’s most faithful supporters. She participated in the girls’ games, and truly deserved the “L” and the various other letters which adorned her gym suit. “Chick” was a scant five-foot bundle of energy. She was always hurrying hither and yon, bent upon some errand. She had many admiring friends in Weaver, and they were not all confined to members of her own sex. That is not to be wondered at, since she is very charming and always has a smile for every one. Northwest School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Debating Club; Editorial Board of Class Book; Track Team; Cross Country Team; Interclass Soccer and Basket¬ ball; ScKcer Team. It isn’t very often that you come upon a fellow in whom are incorporated so many desirable qualities as in “Bones.” That he tackles all his tasks with enthusiasm and persistence, was demon¬ strated by his earnest efforts on the Class Book Board. “Bones” had a fine memory and an excellent command of the English language which helped him do well in his studies. Besides his other accomplishments “Bones” displayed great athletic ability. He was a star full¬ back on the varsity soccer team, and when on the cross country team, running five miles was mere limbering up exercise for “Bones.” “Bob” is a good scout in more ways than one — inci¬ dentally, Dan Beard has nothing on old Scout Cohen. [21 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit MORRIS COHN Northeast School; A. A.; Boys’ Business Club; Boys’ Club; Interclass Soccer and Basketball. Morris is one of those fellows who would be an asset to any class. Al¬ though he has not been outstanding in varsity sports or in marks, he was always willing to lend a hand when the call came for volunteers to uphold the honor and prestige of our class in the interclass sports. That Morris was also quite a business man, was well illustrated in the class when he suc¬ ceeded in selling more goods for his Salesmanship class than almost any one else. This was to be expected, however, as Morris, as you may have gathered from his name, is of Semitic origin. IRVING STANLEY CROUSE Northwest School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Junior Orchestra; Senior Orchestra; Choir; “Lookout”; Football Squad; Interclass Football, Soccer, and Basketball. “Irv” took part in many Weaver ac¬ tivities in the quietest and most un¬ pretentious manner possible. He pre¬ ferred to be active, but with as little noise as possible, which characteristic is lacking in too many of our “big- shots”. The only place where “Irv” made very many sounds was during the numerous orchestra rehearsals and concerts, and also en chantant at choir rehearsals. “Irv” was a familiar sight in all interclass sport affairs, lending his assistance in order to preserve the pres¬ tige of our class, in so far as sports were concerned. [ 22 ] THE Gloria” GLORIA MAY CUNNINGHAM Northwest SchtK)l; A. A.; Girls’ League, Music Committee, Leaders’ Corps; Indeclub; Inglcside Club; baseball Squad; Choir. Gloria was one of the members of Room 216 during her upper senior semester; consequently she was not well known by the girls in 227. On the surface she appears to be extremely dignified, but those who are acquainted with her know that this is not strictly so. She can enjoy a joke as well as any one, and, indeed, has a quiet sense of humor and an infectious laugh. Gloria plans to enter a training school for nurses and her work at Weaver has been along that line. Just watch the patients flock to the hospital when they find out Gloria’s there! ECHO MORRIS VICTOR DORMAN Northwest School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Track Team; Interclass Track and Soccer. “Moe” characterized himself as being exceedingly able to voice his opinion about anything, and usually came out on top in any argument. His lengthy dissertations in various English classes were his pride, and won the teachers’ approval and the pupils’ gratitude, for many minutes were devoured due to “Moe’s” earnest endeavor to carry his point. Speeding along the damp turf in Keney Park like a freshman playing tag in the lunchroom was also one of Morris’ hobbies, for he was a stalwart member of our varsity track team, and possessed speed comparable to the flight of vacation time. Seeing “Moe” lazy would be the same as seeing four A’s on the report card—it just “ain’t.” [ 23 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit “Ede” EDITH MAY DOWNES Northwest School; A. A.; Girls’ League, Play Committee; Art Crafts Club; Editorial Board of Class Book. “Ede” was one of our most dignified girls. She was very quiet in school, but those who were best acquainted with her outside, always found her extreme¬ ly witty, amiable and cheerful. “Ede” and her gang were a familiar sight at most of the Weaver football games, to which they were conveyed in her huge car, named, in the manner of “Bally¬ hoo”, Mr. Burp. Can she ever forget those trips to Holy Cross College, and the little town of Stafford Springs! There’s more than one reason why the boys at Holy Cross are glad that her brother goes there. “Ede’s” ambition is to be an artist and have a cute (. ) little room in Greenwich Village. We’re proud to have a budding artist in our fold. “Red” BELLE DRAPEL Northeast School; A. A.; Girls’ League. Belle achieved quite a remarkable record by completing her high school course in three and a half years. It must have taken a great deal of painstaking and conscientious effort to carry on so much work, and she certainly deserves to be commended for it. She is not a “book-worm,” however, but always has a merry smile at her command. Her laughter is extremely spontaneous and merry and Belle walks down the corridors blithely, as though she had no cares in the world. We all admire her cheerfulness and sunny disposition. She intends to do office work after high school and we know if she continues her good work she will be eminently successful. [ 24 ] Fortmia FortilsMs Favit THE ECHO LEONARD DUROFF Northwest School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Basketball and Football Squads; Interclass Basketball, Football and StKCcr; RecejJtion Coniniittcc. The habit of calling everybody “John” originated from the master mind of “Lenny” DuBoff. A master mind indeed, for it required some in¬ genious source of knowledge to pro¬ duce such a spreading disease. Hardly a person at Weaver, at least once in his life, has not been addressed as “John”. “Len” claims he was a husky ever since he was born. He proved this boast by his excellent performances on the foot¬ ball field and basketball court. He was a clean-cut, devoted chap, whose fresh, wholesome spirit was one to be ad¬ mired. He well deserved to be called the Best Sport of the class. NONA MARGARET ROSE DUCHARME Northwest Sch(K)l; A. A.; Chris’ League, Repre¬ sentative; Ingleside Club; Cirls’ Business Club, F.xecutivc Committee, Fund Committee, Vice-Presi¬ dent, Treasurer; Honor Society; Class Treasurer; Business Board Class Book; Ring Committee; No Demerits; Never Tardy. Nona was one of the most capable girls in our class. She could always be depended upon to fulfill a duty quick¬ ly and well, and that is the reason why she was always included on important committees, and was chosen Class Treasurer. She belonged to several clubs, and was a loyal supporter of campaigns. Besides being attractive, neat, and a good student, she is a fine pianist, and has contributed to the fun of parties and meetings with her snappy jazz. She is always sympathetic and congenial, and is valued highly as a friend. [ 25 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit CHARLES BERNARD DUNN Viv VIVIENNE ELKINS Northwest School; A. A.; Boys’ Club. “Charlie” distinguished himself in the chemistry class in that he was always ready with an answer of some sort, whether right or wrong. When the class was exhausted of answers, “Charlie” was there with the goods, even though the goods were sometimes imaginative. Many boys in gym classes are grateful to the pride of the Dunn family for his considerate loan of his bicycle in order to tear around the school in the performance of making up lost periods. “Charlie’s” particular way of wearing glasses will no doubt make him remembered by those of his classmates who will lose contact with him in the future. Northwest School; A. A.; Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club, Executive Committee, Chairman of Fund Committee; No Demerits. “Viv” was one of the quieter mem¬ bers of our class. She was not well known by most of her classmates, but she was outstanding among her partic¬ ular friends. She possesses a frank na¬ ture, which at times is very entertain¬ ing. “Viv’s” favorite subject while in Weaver, was Home Economics. She was extremely fond of all its phases, and aspires to become a teacher of domestic science. With a background of several semester’s work in Home Economics and an earnest and home- loving nature, she should be very suc¬ cessful. [ 26 ] Fortuna FortiEus Favit THE ECHO VALERIE ELIZABETH FARRELL Northwest School; (lirls’ League; (lirls’ Business ( ' lub; Ingiesiile Club; A. A.; Choir; Member of Reception Committee. “Val” was one of the most vivacious and attractive members of our class. She has a keen, somewhat sarcastic sense of liumor and a very deep and pleasing voice. Endowed with striking Titian hair, blue eyes, and a graceful figure, she is extremely popular with the opposite sex. “Val” is a very fine dancer, and could be found at any of the numerous dances given during the year outside of school. Seldom really worried, she was one of the happy-go- lucky members of Weaver ' s “smart- set”. “Val” was a faithful supporter of Weaver’s teams, and could be found cheering lustily at almost any game. MARY MARGARET FENN St. Joseph’s Cathedral Sch(K)l; A. A.; Girls’ League, Scholarship Fund Committee; Girls’ Leaders Cf)rps; Ciirls’ Business Club; Honor Society; Never Tardy. Mary is one of the members of Weaver’s famous “Fenn” family. Pos¬ sessed of a brother who was a star player on the football team, Mary was by no means a laggard in athletics. She was a member of the Girls’ Leaders Corps, and worked hard, though cheer¬ fully, for her “L”. Mary is interested most in stenographic work, and has studied it thoroughly and conscien¬ tiously while at Weaver, in preparation for launching into the business world. She plans to be her older brother’s stenographer. Always courteous and friendly, though rather quiet, Mary was popular with students and teachers alike. [ 27 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit ISABELLE RHODA FRIED JACOB FRUCHTMAN Northeast School; Girls’ League, Play Committee; “Lookout” Editorial Board; French Club, Treasurer; Indeclub; Honor Society; Class Book Typist; Testa¬ trix. Isabelle is one of the most charming little girls in our class, and is quite popular with the students of both sexes. Her dark hair, mischievous eyes, and her winning smile were frequently seen in the Weaver halls, and her vivid per¬ sonality was apparent at first glance. In addition to these alluring qualities, Isabelle achieved an enviable record in her studies. She is one of those pupils who is always called on in an emer¬ gency, and is one of the delights of the teachers. Another proof of her popu¬ larity is the fact that she was Testatrix of our class, and she ably demonstrated her ability, giving a very creditable performance. Northwest School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Honor Society; Junior Usher. “Jake” is among the most conscien¬ tious fellows in the class. Although he works after school, and in this way spends most of his time, he has man¬ aged and probably always will manage, if he continues his education, to be a great student. Good marks, however, have not spoiled his disposition, and he is always willing to help a fellow student in distress, either in the way of a paper to copy from, or by some bit of helpful information. “Jake” has made many friends by his jolly good humor and friendliness, and we are sure that his interest in his fellow companions will win him a place in the world. [ 28 ] Fortuea Fortifeus Favit THE ECHO ALVIN JOSIAH GARBER Northwest SchoT)!; A. A.; Boys’ Club. Although “Al” did not participate in many school activities, he was always rushing and bustling about. We don’t know why or how he did it, but he was always the first one to enter his differ¬ ent classes. (Perhaps he was afraitl he would miss something.) He recently received great renown by being the winner of one of the cash prizes in the Waterman Autograph Contest. “Al” has a sunny disposition and one of the things which makes him well-liked by those who know him, is the fact that, every day upon entering school in his usual hurried manner, he calls out to all his friends, “Bon jour, monsieur,’ or “Comment allez-vous, monsieur. ” “Ethel” ETHEL GER Northeast School; Girls’ League; No Demerits; Never Tartly. None of us knew Ethel very well because her main interests lay outside of school. An extremely unpretentious manner and a quiet reticence in school kept her from making many friends among her classmates. Ethel’s chief in¬ terest lies in dancing and it is said that she excels in it. Indeed, some time ago she was even offered an opportunity to appear professionally. Ethel hardly gave us a chance to know that she danced so well, for she did not participate in any of the school activities. Stenog¬ raphy was her major subject and we hope she will attain success. [ 29 ] Fortiina Fortibus Favit JOSEPH PHILLIP GIPSTEIN Northwest School; A. A.; Boys’ Club. Here he is now! Mrs. Gipstein’s little boy, Joe. The banjo artist of banjo artists. What! You say you don’t hear him. Listen carefully. Yes, that’s what we mean, that noise that’s a cross be¬ tween the asthmatic snoring of a hippo, somebody sawing wood, and a con¬ struction gang of riveters pounding steel. Never mind, Joe, you’ll learn to play before your Aunt “Het” becomes a star shortstop. Now to get back to earth. Except for his banjo playing, Joe’s O. K. He’s the best pal you could ask for, and has made a host of friends among the fellows of the class. By the way, the school sets its clocks by Joe. He always manages to get to school at exactly the same time — just between 8:28 and 8:30. ETHEL GERTRUDE GLAIBER Holcomb Street School; Girls’ League, Play Com¬ mittee, Chairman; A. A.; Ingleside Club; C. H. L. S.; Never Tardy. Ethel was one of the most quiet and reserved members of our class. To those who knew her well, however, she was quite friendly and jolly. She was always willing to help others and was an ex¬ ponent of the Golden Rule. She was a valuable worker in the Girls’ League, and it was partly through her efforts that the Play Committee made a suc¬ cess of its productions. Ethel was always ready to help others in any way pos¬ sible. [ 30 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit THE HERNARD LEON GLAUBMAN Northwest Sch K)l; A. A.; Hoys’ Club; Honor Society; German C ' lub; Junior Usher. “Bcrnie” is one of the quieter mem¬ bers of the class. He is kidded a great deal because of the great amount of time he puts into his studying. It is a well-known fact that when “Bernie” isn’t in school, he hasn’t finished his studying, and therefore would not think of venturing within the Weaver portals. From all outward appearances, “Bernie” seems to be an avowed woman-hater. We have never heard of his having a date or even turning his head when a good-looking blonde passed by. Never mind the kidding, “Bernie”; just keep on plugging and you’ll get there. ECHO ARLENE ELEANORE GOLDEN Northwest School; Girls’ League, Vice-President, Junior Member; A. A.; (iirls’ Business Club; C. H. L. S.; Motto Committee; Editorial Board of Class lL)ok. Here we are pleased to present a popular, attractive brunette whose in¬ imitable savoir-faire has made her the envy of her classmates. Endowed with the invaluable faculty of always re¬ maining calm and poised, “Lee” could handle any situation with a reassuring ease which made her an extremely fit¬ ting Vice-President of the Girls’ League. She is a convincing example of the theory that to be a good scholar one need not be a book-worm, for in addition to having attained with ease a scholastic record which merits praise, “Lee” has also been a prominent par¬ ticipant in many social activities. [ 31 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit a Jackie” JACK GOLDENTHAL HAROLD LOUIS GOLDSTEIN Northwest School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Basketball; Baseball; Soccer; Interclass Soccer. Northwest School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Choir; Glee Club; Tie Committee. “Jackie” is one of the most popular fellows in the class. He is thoroughly at home either in the company of fel¬ lows or girls. He has a pleasing per¬ sonality and a keen sense of humor. Jack is also one of the athletic members of the Upper Senior Class. He was at his best in a basketball suit, dribbling furi¬ ously down the court to sink the sphere through the basket just as though it were as easy as eating pie. Jack also made a fine showing on the soccer field whe re he was one of the mainstays of the team throughout the season. Among the most interesting fellows in the class ranks “Slip”. Out of school, Harold is jolly, good-natured, and full of fun, but in school he is just the op¬ posite. There is not a more serious face among the many serious ones, either in the chemistry class while trying to fathom the deep mysteries of the Salvy Process, or in the English class while attempting to appreciate some of Keat’s poetry. Since Harold is some day to have a share in a popular bottling works, he duly canvasses the lunch¬ room advocating a soda rather than a milk diet. Harold earns his spending money by taking advantage of his great skill as a piano player. [32 ] Fortuea Fortifeus Favit LAURA GORRAN “Nat” __ -K- LEONARD NATHAN GOLDSTEIN THE ECHO Arsenal ScIkk)!; A.

If we were to do justice to “Nat”, we would introduce him with a rolling of drums and the hubbub of triangles, cymbals, and all the other parapher¬ nalia that is included among the equip¬ ment of a member of the percussion family of an orchestra. Lennie came to us from Hartford High and immedi¬ ately proceeded to gain a great many pals because of his adability and good nature. “Len” is one of the best dressed fellows in the class and his ties are the envy of every one. He is quite a ladies’ man and when he gets started, Romeo isn’t even in the running. Northeast School; Girls’ Leajtuc; Junior Glee Club. Laura will always be remembered by her classmates as the girl who fell asleep in 227. Asked about it later, Laura said that she was tired and the only remedy for it was sleep. There¬ fore, she put her head down on her desk and proceeded to woo gentle sleep. Laura is also renowned for her frankness. She is not afraid to express her opinions and we admire her for this. Laura rarely made use of her vocal cords except in the Glee club where she exercised them to admirable advantage. [33 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit “Leah” LEAH WOOD GROTTA MIRIAM CAROLYN HERZFELD Northwest School; Girls’ League; A. A.; Honor Society; No Demerits; Never Tardy. Leah is a most serious-minded per¬ son. She always applied herself con¬ scientiously to her studies, and her marks showed the result of her hard work. She was very quiet and reserved but responded quite readily if ap¬ proached with a request for help or advice. Leah was a faithful and dili¬ gent worker for the Girls’ League, per¬ forming most creditably in her capacity as a member of the membership com¬ mittee. Leah aspires to be a teacher and we hope that some day her ambition will be realized. If it is, the art of giv¬ ing out demerits will doubtlessly come hard to her. Northwest School; Girls’ League; Girls’ Leaders Corps; A. A.; No Demerits. Miriam is one of the most diminu¬ tive members of our class, and is very well known in school because of her graceful agility in dancing. Indeed, many times Miriam has created a great deal of envy among her classmates when she ably demonstrated her ability in gym, performing her dances with unconscious ease and grace. She has even established a studio of her own, and from all reports we hear that she is doing very well, specializing in tap and aesthetic dancing. She is well liked by all of the students, has entertained at many parties and gatherings in Weaver, and is quite active in the Girls’ Leaders Corps. [ 34 ] bus Favit THE GEORGE MASON HOMMEL Northwest School; A. A. “Mace” is one of the less active mem¬ bers of the class. Nevertheless, his re¬ markably tall, straight figure, topped by his immense head of seemingly un¬ ruly hair, is a familiar sight around the school. Although he is a quiet fel¬ low and does not indulge to any great extent in sports. Mason is well liked by those fellows who know him, prin¬ cipally because of his agreeable disposi¬ tion. Mason has a comparatively short girl friend, and it is quite amusing to watch his long legs endeavoring to match their stride to the short steps of his companion, while walking to and from school every day. ECHO “El” ELEANOR FRANCES HURD Northwest School; Oirls’ League; A. A.; Vice- President; Girls’ Leaders Corps; Choir; Inglesidc Club, Secretary, President; Indeclub, Vice-President, Treasurer. Eleanor was one of our foremost sports enthusiasts. She participated in all the girls’ sports and was very pro¬ ficient. She was always to be found an ardent rooter in the Weaver cheering section at every game. She has a cul¬ tivated speaking voice, trained by spe¬ cial elocution lessons, which won her a place in the Dramatic Club. Eleanor also has leadership ability as she was a proud member of the Girls’ Leaders Corps. She has a very friendly manner, which, along with her attractive smile and provocative dimples, helped her to make many friends. [35 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit HELEN ELAINE HURVITZ Arsenal School; A. A.; Girls’ League; Senior Choir; Ingleside Club; Girls’ Business Club. Helen is one of those rare girls who has the faculty for independent think¬ ing, and when once she has arrived at a conviction, she fights for it valiantly. The innumerable arguments in which Helen participated in her history classes are ample proof of this. Radicalism is a part of her character, but it was not demonstrated to a very active degree in high school. One of the most endearing characteristics which she possesses is a very pleasing speaking voice. Its clear, low, and extremely vibrant tones ex¬ cited many flattering comments from all who heard her speak. She made many friends during her school career, due to unfailing good humor and jovi¬ ality. JOHN HURWITZ Northwest School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Radio Club; German Club; Commercial Club; Advertising Man¬ ager of “Lookout”; President of Amity Y; Printshop; Business Manager of Class Book. Throughout his high school career “Ain’s” outstanding characteristics have been extreme persistence and the abil¬ ity to carry a thing through to the end. It would be easier to move the Rock of Gibralter than to win an argument from “Johnny”. That he has been one of the hardest workers in the class, can be seen by his very good work in the Weaver Print Shop and by the results of his untiring efforts as Business Man¬ ager of this Class Book. Although John is very serious, and at times stubborn when going about his work, he really has a jolly disposition and has gained many friends. [ 36 ] Fortima Fortibias Favit THE ESTELLE ELIZABETH IRVING Northwest Schtxjl; Chris’ League; Girls’ Leaders Corps; Girls’ Business Club; A. A.; Ingleside Club. Estelle is a sophisticated and charm¬ ing member of the Titian-haired co¬ terie. Her flashing brown eyes and friendly manner have won her many friends, both male and female. Her leadership and good sportsmanship are demonstrated by the large white “L” she wears on her gym suit. She was an enthusiastic supporter of sports and always could be found at the games. “Stelle” is a great success socially, and is usually in high spirits and always seems to be enjoying herself thorough¬ ly. To all appearances, she should make a pleasing and efficient stenographer. ECHO MILTON EDWARD KAPLAN Northwest School; A. A.; Boys’ Club, Vice-Presi¬ dent; Basketball Team; Baseball Team; Soccer Team; Interclass Soccer. “Mick” goes in for athletics in a big way. He has gained a great deal of popularity and a number of friends by his untiring efforts in school athletics. Mickey has been one of the stars of the baseball team since his sophomore year, and it sure was a sight for sore eyes to see him scoop them up around third base. Mickey was also quite a flash on the basketball court and was one of the fastest men on the floor. His keen eye won many a game for Weaver. Be¬ tween baseball and basketball seasons “Mick” played varsity soccer where his speed made him a fine wing. [37 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit HAROLD ALBERT KAUFMAN Northwest School; A.

We are lucky to have a fellow like “Hak” in our class. He is a very like¬ able chap and is always ready to give or take a joke. In spite of his many af¬ filiations and interests, he manages to be an honor student, and to mingle with the other fellows. He has made a great many friends in his four years in high school. “Hak” has gained con¬ siderable renown for his poetry (if it can be so called). His brave attempt to prove that “Burke’s Conciliation” has outlived its usefulness is quite a masterpiece, and established forever his position as one of the most outstanding poets that Weaver has ever had. “Sammy” SAMUEL ELY KEDES Arsenal School; A. A.; Boys ' Club; Junior Orchestra; Senior Orchestra; Inter-High Orchestra; Soccer Squad. High up in the list of Weaver musi¬ cians, you will be sure to find the name of “Sammy” Kedes. During his whole high school career, “Sam” was one of the foremost members of the orchestra. His skill as a trumpeter has done him great credit, and we are sure that the inter-high orchestra would not have fared as well as it did in the New Eng¬ land High School Orchestra Contest if it had not been for Sam’s trumpet. Even though much of his time is taken up with his musical affiliations, “Sam¬ my” managed to find time for athletics, too. He made a fine showing as half¬ back on the soccer team.

Holcomb Street School; A. Boys’ Commercial ( ' luh; Junior Orchestra. “Matt,” although he was not very pre¬ tentious around Weaver’s portals, earned the admiration of his fellow students because of his amicable qualities, comparable to a warm, early- morning sunrise. His relations with the girls in our class were nil, but we understand that “Matt” was and still is severely smitten by the wiles of a mem¬ ber of the Junior Class. “Matt” was also a very useful member of the Junior Orchestra, playing his drums with great gusto and enthusiasm. In spite of the fact t hat his time was mostly taken up with his musical obligations, “Matt” also found time to associate himself with business matters and was a valu¬ able member of the Weaver Com¬ mercial Club. Boys like “Bob” are what the world needs more of. He is a well-balanced individual who can be serious on some occasions and jolly on others. It would be difficult to find a boy with a keener or broader sense of humor. He is a great lover of music and has been a valuable member of the Senior and Inter-High Orchestras. His accomplish¬ ments during four years at Weaver prove that laziness has no place in his philosophy of life. He displayed excel¬ lent leadership as President of the Boys’ Commercial Club and as Editor-in- Chief of the “Lookout”. When he first entered Weaver, he was very modest and he is not less so now. We take our hats off to you, “Bob”. [ 39 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit FRANCES ESTELLE KLEIMAN “Phil” PHILIP LOUIS KOVALSKY Northeast School; Girls’ League; A. A.; Girls’ Business Club; “Lookout” Typing Board. Frances is one of our most capable and speedy typists. She has succeeded in attaining a speed of fifty words a minute and is the pride of the typing class. Frances also has the ability to write very good themes and distin¬ guished herself in English class because of this. Her charming smile and pleasant manner were potent qualities of “Fran,” which gained her —beaucoup des amis. She was always willing to proffer her help and was sincere in her offer. She was most friendly and talked very swiftly, saying more words in one minute than almost any other member of the class. Northeast School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Football; Sports Reporter on “Lookout”. “Phil” is a regular shark when it comes to “peddling” papers, having faithfully delivered the “Times” to his customers for many years. His best sub¬ ject would be English if, in his themes, he were allowed to delve into the annals of the sporting world. But unfortu¬ nately such is not the case, and Philip has had to seek other grounds in which to expand his natural skill in writing up games. Perhaps this is the reason why he filled his position as one of the sports reporters of the “Lookout” so capably.

S.; Chris’ Business Club; “Lookout” Editorial Board; Sophomore Basketball Team; Class Book Business Board; Color Committee. “Dot” excelled in stenography and was the envy of less fortunate girls be¬ cause of the ease with which she ac¬ quired good shorthand penmanship. She could always be counted on to give a correct answer to a question in the shorthand class. She is one of those rare persons who can be depended on to do what she has promised and was the delight of all the teachers as her work was always in on time. But, although having a reputation for frank but fair remarks, she was always good company and ready for any fun suggested. BEATRICE PHYLLIS KOVNER Northwest School; A. Girls’ League, Welfare Committee; Honor Society; French Club; C. 11. L. S.; Choir; Glee Club; Dramatic Club, “Minick”, “Vanity”; “Lookout” Editorial Board, Reporter; Prophetess; Ring Committee; Reception Committee. Beatrice always conveys to our mind the image of a vivacious and sparkling girl. You will always find her sur¬ rounded by a crowd, as she is one of the most popular members of the class. She has a distinct flare for the dramatic, has been a member of the Dramatic Club for two years, and very capably performed the lead in the latest play “Vanity”. She was admired by many, for she not only took part in school and social activities, but also managed to acquire a scholarship above the average. Upon her the class put the honor, as well as the burden, of co¬ author of the Class Prophecy, and she fulfilled our highest expectations. [41 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit 7 - Red” DONALD FREDERICK KRECH Burnside School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Honor Society; Class Book Editorial Board; Soccer; Inter¬ class Soccer. “Red’s” even disposition contradicts the old superstition that red-haired peo¬ ple are fiery and temperamental. Don is a fine blend of serious-mindedness and congeniality. He has maintained a uni¬ formly good average in his studies and is a member of the National Honor Society. He has also distinguished him¬ self in athletics as a fullback on the soccer team. “Don” has been invaluable to many of the chemistry students, in that they were able to copy his home¬ work, if, because of so me unavoidable accident (.?), they were unable to do it themselves. “Monsieur Krech” has earned the gratitude of his fellow- students for his willingness to help them in any way he could. MAXWELL KROOPNECK Northeast School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Choir; Senior Glee Club; Soccer; Interclass Soccer, Basket¬ ball. “Max” is perhaps our finest exponent of the gentle art of imitating Colonel Stoopnagle and Budd, the famous radio funsters. Though his imitations are often technically inaccurate, an un¬ biased and not too fastidious observer might be led to say that “Max” out- Stoopnagles Stoopnagle. But to return to Maxwell, “Max” showed fine spirit in being one of the two fellows who went out for senior interclass soccer. Despite his accustomed joviality we’ve noticed that he is quite serious at times, especially in chemistry class, and usually has his lesson well prepared. [42 ] THE Sol” SOLOMON MORTON LAND Arsenal School; A. A.; Roys’ Club; Motto Com¬ mittee; Junior Usher; Never Tardy. “Sol”, one of Weaver’s valuable ac¬ quisitions from Hartford High, is an affable young chap who seems to be well pleased with life in general, for no g(X)d reason. Whenever you look at him, a broad grin is playing upon his carefree countenance. We hereby nom¬ inate him as the president of our Anti¬ depression Club. In biology classes he has achieved wide renown for his dis¬ sertations on the functions of the thyroid gland. He was one of the four most brilliant members of his Latin 8 class (there being four in the class). “Sol” is one of the few students who makes a success of doing his homework during lunch period. ECHO Kay” CATHERINE NETTIE LAVINIO Northwest School; .A. ,A.; Cirls’ League; Inde¬ club; Cirls ' Husincss Club; Inglesidc Club. Here we have a member of our class who believed that young ladies should be seen — not heard. “Kay” was one of the quiet, reserved students who accom¬ plished a great deal in the time she saved by not talking. She has distin¬ guished herself as a dressmaker and her pretty clothes readily testify to her un¬ usual ability in this line. “Kay” was a loyal friend, and when advice or aid were required, she could always be de¬ pended upon. With these admirable qualities, is it any wonder that “Kay” was valued as a friend and liked by all [43 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit JESSIE ALICE LEBETKIN Northeast School; A. A.; Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club; Ingleside Club; Choir. “Jess” ' was not deeply interested in school clubs, but she is an ardent sports enthusiast, and being especially fond of football, attended as many games as possible during her high school career. She was a staunch Weaver supporter and could be found among its rooters at nearly every game. She acquired, to a state of perfection, that delicate art of arriving in school just before the last bell rang. This is an accomplishment of which few of us can boast, for every¬ one is apt to slip up occasionally, but not so with Jessie. She always managed to win out. Lug” WILBUR ARNOLD LIBMAN Northwest School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Junior Glee Club; Choir; Senior Glee Club; Circulation Board of “Lookout”; Chairman Tie Committee; Business Board of Class Book; Debating Club. “Lug” is one of the most widely known members of our class, and can always be found wherever anything ex¬ citing is happening. He was an en¬ thusiastic sports fan, and no doubt you will remember how he fought for the honor of Weaver at a certain Weaver- Bulkeley rally, and emerged from the fray with a beautiful “shiner” for his pains. “Lug” was an active member of the Business Board of the Class Book and worked hard to procure ads for it. The whole school became quite up¬ set, one time, when it was learned that “Lug” was missing, and when he re¬ turned safe and sound a few days later, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and welcomed him with open arms. [ 44 ] Fortmiaa Foriibos Favii THE ALBERT BENJAMIN LIEBERMAN Northeast School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Choir; Glee Club; Debating Club; City Championship Tennis Team; ScKcer Squad; Soccer Team; Junior Usher. One of the few students in the school who is not especially fond of doing homework is “Al.” In spite of this rare trait, he manages to give a fair account of himself in his studies, and often dis¬ plays astounding fertility of mind, espe¬ cially in the use of French idioms which cannot be found in any te.xtbook. As an athlete, his value to the soccer team can scarcely be overestimated. Woe betide the man who gets within range of his ferocious feet as he comes thundering over the soccer field. We are indebted to “Al” for having livened up many an otherwise dull French class. ECHO LOUIS LUDGIN Northwest School; A. A.; Hoys’ Club; Junior Glee Club; Treasurer of Senior Cdee Club; Senior Choir; Business Board of “Lookout”; Interclass Basketball; Interclass Football; Football Sejuad; Man¬ ager of Baseball Team; Dramatic Club. “Lou” was the ambitious manager of one of Weaver’s baseball teams and did much in piloting it to a fairly successful season. During the home games on Batterson Field, he was noted for his natural adaptation in recovering balls which were knocked out of the diamond, and in the latter occupation doubtless saved much money for the A. A. Although “Lou” does not have much to do with the girls in school, he is known as quite a ladies’ man in out¬ side life. Indeed, every morning before his classes he relates to his attentive friends the adventures of the night before. [45 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit JOSEPH MANDELL Northwest School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Glee Club; Choir. “Joe” is one of those quiet, unassum¬ ing chaps, who by his very ability to be silent makes himself known. “Joe” never misses a dance either in school or out of school, though he has never been known to dance himself. He has watched so much dancing that if he were ever to attempt that difficult proj¬ ect he ought to make quite a success of it. “Joe” has an especially fine voice and is in his true element when he is lustily yodeling some famous choral selection. MARGUERITE CATHERINE McCarthy Northwest School; A. A.; Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club; Ingleside; Indeclub, Secretary; Choir; No Demerits; Never Tardy. Throughout her high school career. Marguerite’s charming, quiet manner has won for her the respect of her class¬ mates. One is impressed by her gentle¬ ness and sincerity. Her artistic abilities have proven valuable to both the Ingle¬ side Club and the Indeclub. Unlike many students. Marguerite was never seen running through the corridors at eight twenty-nine and sliding into her seat just as the bell rang. Instead, she was always among the first to arrive in the morning and therefore was not obliged to participate in that daily race with time. [ 46 ] Fort uina Fortibus Favit THE ECHO Carl” CARLETON LOVELAND MEIGS Jcllcrson Junior High School, Meriden, Conn.; A. A.; Interclass Basketball. “Carl” was an imported product from Meriden. Quietne.ss to him was an asset. It kept him out of trouble because he realized the trouble that thoughtless words often cause. He was a good basketball player, being especially skill¬ ful at fancy shots and having excellent form. In classes he was quiet and un¬ obtrusive, realizing that, if he could get away unnoticed, fewer would be the questions directed at him. During lunch he could be seen diligently doing the homework that was supposed to have been done the night before. The lunch room gained little support from him, as he ate very little because of lack of time. A ALBERT MILLER Northeast School; A. A.; Hoys’ Club; Senior Choir; Dramatic Club, “Vanity”; Never Tardy. “Al’s” ambition is to express his thoughts fluently in French and to imi¬ tate Monsieur Perrichon. He always has a broad grin on his countenance, and is usually inclined to be mischievous. He is also something of an actor, as shown by his work in the play “Vanity” and his good work in the Dramatic Club. Albert’s friends can testify that he al¬ ways displays a friendly interest in what they are doing and is usually will¬ ing to help them out of any difficulties. His hobby is eating “hot dogs”, and the lunchroom would look strange in¬ deed if “Al” were not wreaking ven¬ geance on some poor canine. [47 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit TH Northwest School; A. A.; Boys’ Club. It is a very rare sight to see Henry when he is not indulging in buffoon¬ ery. Although very seldom inclined to be serious, especially in his school work, he is not at all lacking in scholastic ability, when he can be induced to dis¬ play it. “Murph” has had the misfor¬ tune of becoming embroiled in the labyrinth of difficulties which a course in trigonometry seems to offer, there¬ fore he has been forced to desist from some of his perpetual humor-provoking antics. Nevertheless the spirit is still there. Henry is also something of a singer, from all reports, and during his Upper Senior year spent much of his time after school practicing for a Min¬ strel in which he participated. Northwest School; A. A.; Boys’ Glee Club; Debat¬ ing Club; Senior Choir; Interclass Soccer. “Georgie” is one of our few students who takes his studies seriously. Though he finds time to do his homework thoroughly, he also has plenty of time to devote to social activities, and is quite a dancer. His jolly disposition led him to make quite a little noise in his French class, but no harm was done, because the witty repartee made by Miller, Shoor, and Lieberman drowned out his voice. Though not very large in stature, “Georgie” has athletic ability which is not to be trifled with. We hear that he has a pair of boxing gloves at home, and that he knows how to use them to advantage.

Many find the study of history a difficult one, but Sonia is not in this group. Few girls take the interest in this subject that she does. In fact, her intense liking for it led her to take advantage of every opportunity to fit it into her high school course. Although Sonia impressed us as being a quiet, serious type of girl, we often observed lier among her more intimate friends laughing and chatting merrily. ECHO MARIO AUGUSTUS OREFICE Northeast Schix)!; A.

He is quite a well built fellow and can whiz them by an opposing batter with plenty of steam. In addition to this, Mario has also become the principal sports reporter of the “Lookout.” In truth, it is he who writes that sterling column “Dishin’ up Sports”, which delves into the sacred annals of the sporting world. It appears that the Weaver athletes do very little which this perspective Sherlock Holmes does not unearth, chiefly for the interests of his readers. [ 49 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit DAVID PETERSON Northeast School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Choir; A. Cappela Choir; Sports Reporter of “Lookout”; Class Book Business Board. “Pete” is a fine companion of his fellow-students and a strict observer of his word. He has the peculiar eccentric¬ ity of pointing his finger to add emphasis, in a manner which would be quite appropriate to a lawyer or a politician. Dave’s supreme gift is the gift of song, as shown by his musical activities. He not only can utter songs with melodious effect but can play a banjo-mandolin equally well. Indeed he has been induced by station WTIC to perform before the “mike” in a trio, and will probably be heard often in the near future. “Pete” is one of the sports editors of the “Lookout” and fills his position with professional skill. JESSE PHILLIPS Northwest School; A.

Jesse has a natural dexterity in oration and in debating, and always has a com¬ prehensive vocabulary on hand for that purpose. He received an award in the annual Prize Speaking Contest because of his ability to speak, and was also one of the mainstays in the Weaver Debating Club. “Flupe” is a very determined person and always tries to see his point through when he has reason to believe he is right. Perhaps it is his determination and his knowl¬ edge of the game which makes him a good player on the gridiron. Jesse enjoys great popularity among his fellow students and is well known by almost everyone. During his term as business manager of the “Lookout,” he was noted as a hustler. [ 50 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit THE ECHO EDITH HELEN PORISS Northwest School; Girls’ League, Music Commit¬ tee; Ingleside Club; Dramatic Club, “Minick,” “Vanity.” We shall always remember Edith for her outstanding work in the Dramatic Club. She did not take a prominent part in many other school activities, but centered her attention on that line of art in which she was intensely interested and remarkably proficient — namely dramatics. Among the success¬ ful productions in which she took part are “Minick” and “Vanity”. In spite of her rather shy, quiet manner, we have found Edith a good “pal”. Georgie GEORGE PORITZ Arsenal School; A. A.; Hoys’ Club; Represented Weaver in Bookkeeping Contest, March, 1932. “Georgie” was a strict disciple of Clark Gable as an escort. He was always there, waiting for girls after classes and showing them down to the next one. In fact, we feel certain, that if he ever thought of entering that honorable profession of being a gigolo, success would be his. His huge over¬ coat gave him the appearance of shoulders which compared with those of a professional wrestler, although his participations in sports were few and far between. Another of his accomplish¬ ments was the eating of that delicious orange cheese, and the ability to enjoy it after downing fresh-fruit pies served in the lunchroom. [51 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit THE ECHO EDWARD FRANCIS POWERS Northwest School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Boys’ Com¬ mercial Club; Football Squad. The sound of the siren has quite a lure for “Ed,” and he attends all the fires of any size, if he can manage to get away from his tasks. He probably inherited this great fascination from the red blood of his ancestors and is doubt¬ less planning to pursue this occupation in his later life. “Ed’s” nights are pretty well taken up for he is a soda dispenser in a drug store on Asylum Street. Therefore, it can readily be seen that he has not a great deal of time for school activities, but despite this fact, he was on the Boys’ Commercial Club and the football squad. MILDRED ESTHER PRESS Arsenal School; A. A.; Girls’ League; Girls’ Busi¬ ness Club; Head “Lookout” Typist; Girls’ Basketball and Baseball Teams; Choir; Glee Club; Substitute A. Cappella Choir. “Millie” is one of those girls who cares a great deal about a variety of things. Sports (tennis especially), jazz music, walking and reading are just a few of her hobbies. One of her best points is her sense of humor, which is very delightful, and her good nature, which is omnipresent. An idiosyncrasy of hers is that she likes all fat people. “Millie” attained the reputation in her Lower Senior year of being called “the on-the-minute lady,” due to the fact that she always came in a minute before the last bell rang. “Millie’s” willingness to help others was noted and made her well liked by all the student s.

As you can readily see by the list of clubs to which she belonged, “Peg” was one of the most active members of our class. It is still a mystery how she managed to ht every¬ thing she had to do into one short day. “Peg” has a naturally merry disposition, and even the most serious-minded students succumbed to her contagious laugh. Besides being popular among the students, “Peg’s” excellence in studies and her conscientiousness in the pursuit of knowledge won for her the approval of her teachers. LILLIAN RESNICK Northwest School; A. A.; Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club; Inglesidc Club; “Lookout” Typist. It is true that a person whose acquaintance is most difficult to culti¬ vate is often found to be the most sincere friend. As an example of this, we present Lillian Resnick, one of the most reserved members of our class. In spite of the fact that “Lil” has been with us four years, we must admit that few of us have come to know her intimately because of her shyness. How¬ ever, a sincere nature does not pass un¬ appreciated, and Lillian w ' as not with¬ out friends. Those who had the good fortune to be numbered among her companions did not regret their efforts in penetrating the barriers of her shyness.

A.; Boys’ Club; “Lookout” Editorial Board, Humor Editor; Junior Usher; Honor Society; Valedictorian. It is seldom that we have the opportunity of coming in contact with a person whose good humor is as enduring as Sylvia’s. We can truthfully state, and we feel assured that her many friends will agree with us, that during our four happy years of association with Sylvia, never have we seen her dejected or “out of sorts.” Although not one to express her opinions freely in a crowd, she was an entertaining companion, and possessed the rare but essential quality of being a good listener. Pleasant and energetic, she filled creditably the position of president of the Girls’ Busi¬ ness Club. Although Irving is a very studious young man who takes his school work seriously, he nevertheless has a subtle sense of humor. He always goes about his work in the various classrooms in a business-like manner, and uses every spare moment of his time. In fact, he has the mark and seal of a person who will always be successful in whatever he attempts. “Irv’s” chief interest outside of school is in his own chemistry lab., which is very complete and up-to-date, and in which he follows up the pursuit of the composition of substances and their transformation. Although one would be inclined to think otherwise, he is not at all lacking in athletic ability as was proved in the school gym. [54] Fortima Fortibus Favit THE EMMA CLAIRE SBROCCO Northwest School; A. A.; Girls’ League; C. H. L. S.; Honor Society; French Club; Editorial Roartl of Class Book. Emma is one of those fortunate persons who was not obliged to spend a great deal of time studying. Her lessons seemed to come to her easily. As for burning the midnight oil on the eve of exams — it just wasn’t necessary. She possessed that happy faculty for seeing the funny side of a thing, which made her a merry and enjoyable com¬ panion. Perhaps you have seen, about town, a dark-haired, brown-eyed young lady driving a maroon car. That young lady w’as Emma and the car was “Otto” — named for that famous character in modern literature, Otto Zilch. Many of us will look back with pleasure upon the numerous excursions in “Otto” we have enjoyed with Emma. ECHO CREIGHTON SHOOR Northwest School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Junior Choir; Senior Choir; Class Prophet; President of Dramatic Club; Member of Producing Group; Vice- President of Weaver Amity Y Club; Soccer Manager; Never Tartly. Wit, understanding, and a good sense of humor are “Crate’s” outstanding characteristics. A more jolly person taking part in many foolish, nonsensical pranks was hard to find. “Crate” was best known for his perennially sunny disposition and his willingness to help all and sundry. Cares stick to “Crate” as water to a duck’s back. No one has ever seen him in a bad humor, except, perhaps, before an exam. His keen wit and understanding won for him the office of Class Prophet. President of the Dramatic Club was another position which “Crate” well earned. [55] Fortuna Fortibus Favit 11 HT T Hy HERMAN SIEGEL Northeast School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Commercial Club; Choir; Bank Cashier. “Hy” was an amiable, congenial person who was always doing some¬ thing to occupy his time. In school he studied business and made practical use of his learning by engaging in a posi¬ tion of an A-No. 1 clerk in Weiner’s chain stores. “Hy” would laugh at any joke to keep up the joviality of the crowd. And — let it not be said that he did not contribute his share to the pleasant proceedings. Many a time people with crushed spirits were restored to good humor by coming in contact with “Hy”. Despite all his good traits, Herman was a first-class chiseler when it came to running five laps around the building to make up a gym period.

He is at home on the football field as well as on the statte, making love to the heroine. We are told that “Eddie’s” conquests of the hearts of fair young ladies are even more numerous off the stage. Though he didn’t have much time to study, he managed to get good marks, and in Latin 6, he used to make excellent sight translations. “Eddie” fully deserves the honor of being elected Chairman of the Reception Committee. bos Favit THE SANFORD ELLIOT SOLOMON Northwest School; A. A.; Boys’ ( ' lub; Dramatic Club, “The Valiant , “She Stoops to Conquer”, “Minick , “Vanity ; Executive Board, Dramatic Club; Debating Club; “Lookout” Business Board; Class Testator. “Sandy”, an ambitious, easy-going sort of person, did not inherit the Scotch descent wliicli was characteristic of his nickname. He claims he came from New York, but New York is not exciting enough for “Sandy.” He intends to go to Chicago as soon as graduation is over. No doubt he will not forget his fighting spirit out West. Dramatics was “Sandy’s” most popular hobby, save for a few personal interests outside of school. He took part in all four plays for which he was eligible. He was elected Class Testator through popular demand, but had to relinquish his post in order to keep a date at a college in Chicago. ECHO WINTHROP FREEMAN STEELE Holcomb Street SchpoTp A. A.; Boys’ Club; Junior Orchestra; Senior Orchestra; Dramatic Club, Pro¬ ducing Group. Winthrop is one of those rare persons who has a smile for everybody. Although he was about the smallest fellow in our class, there was nothing small about his heart. His speech was characterized by a pleasant drawl which helped distinguish him from the little freshmen who wandered about the building. At orchestra rehearsals, Winthrop could always be seen practic¬ ing his work in order to present a more perfect product. He went about all his tasks in this same thoroughness of manner, and always did his best to accomplish them. His quiet but efficient ways have made him a well-liked chap throughout his years at Weaver. [57 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit MAY MARILYN STEIN MORTON TONKEN Northwest School; A. A.; Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club; C. H. L. S. Northeast School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Senior Choir. May is one of our neatest and most tasteful dressers. Her clothes are always scrupulously neat, and she presents a very attractive appearance. A pretty face is another of her assets, and her eyes have the power to express what she is thinking. May’s chief interests lie in New York. She doesn’t say much about it, except to her intimate friends, but we strongly suspect that there’s a boy in the case. Anyhow, she made herself thoroughly agreeable to all of her classmates, in addition to doing her school work well. College is May’s next objective, and we know she will do as well there as she has done in Weaver. “Moe” was a practical, good-humored joker who always took advantage of a person’s better nature. His witty re¬ marks were always enjoyed by the people whose ears they reached, even though they were presented during recitations or Choir rehearsals. The school owes a good deal of its liveli¬ ness to “Moe.” He did not have to be asked to smile for anybody, for one could always detect a radiant beam on his countenance. He was always ready to enjoy a joke, and his hearty laughter all but crumbled the walls of Weaver High. [58] Fortuea Fortibiis Favit THE WILLIAM FRANCIS TOOHEY Northeast School; A. A., President; Class Ring and Pin Committee; Boys’ Club; Baseball, Football, Basketball Teams; Interclass Football, Baseball, Basketball, Track; Bank Cashier; Never Tardy. “Bosco” is one of the minute men from Lexington: here one minute, gone the next. Nevertheless, after school there was always one place he could be found — on the athletic field. His fight¬ ing spirit at all times was looked up to by all. “Bill” was always seen in the midst of athletes whenever a Weaver athletic team took a trip. He played quarterback on the football team, and showed his rivals what opposition was. He is a happy-go-lucky sort of fellow who always sees the funny side of things. As a result of his sparkling personality, he has a wide circle of friends. ECHO SHALE LEON TULIN Northwest School; A.

Come right over folks, and see what we have here — the only man who, impossible as it may seem, can do everything well. That sounds like a broad statement to make, but we are prepared to prove it. Look at his school record. Does that not give you conclu¬ sive proof that he is popular and has remarkable ability.? Look at his picture! Does it not portray a person of poise and character; a person who will be calm and never nonplussed in any situation.? Besides his fine character¬ istics, he has been chosen the most charming and the best looking fellow in the class. What a man!! [ 59] Fortuna Fortibus Favit PATSY VERRENGIA Northeast School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Vice-Presi¬ dent and Treasurer o£ Boys’ Club; Marshal of Class; Weaver Hi-Y; Basketball St]uad; Numerals Soccer; Captain of Soccer Team. Wearing spats ' was “Pat’s” favorite pastime when the snow was well set on the ground. A characteristic smile accompanying this strange sight always put the people whom he met in the best of humor. “Pat” was a real pal, and one could always depend upon his assistance in any matter. “Pat” patiently and willingly encouraged his team¬ mates to work for victory when he captained the Weaver 1932 Soccer Team. He was a good winner and a good loser. This spirit was also dis¬ played on the basketball court, and it was because of these fine characteristics that we elected him our Class Marshal. ALBERT VERRILLO Northeast School; A. A.; Boys’ Club, Executive Committee, Welfare Committee, Nominating Com¬ mittee; Senior Choir; Radio Club; Bank Cashier. “Al” was always a well-dressed man for every occasion. Whether he is watching a football game, or taking a stroll in the park, his smart clothes would always distinguish him in a crowd. Out of school, he was always busy. In the summer time, he met many famous golfers through his work at the Keney Park Golf Club. When old man winter strode in, “Al” was still to be seen in the park, this time working in the Keney Park Pond House. His understanding of many types of people helped him gain the friendship of all those with whom he came in contact.

Without a doubt, George went through four years of high school in a more silent manner than any of his fellow-studes. George was seen more down at the “Y” than he was in our corridors after school. His physiognomy was better known than his name. Monsieur Wassell was a hero in his own neighborhood inasmuch as he excelled in the sports of every season, but declined to take part in any Weaver sport except interclass soccer in which he made a flashy fullback.

He was always doing something to help other people. His irresistible, congenial nature won the ardent respect and admiration of all his classmates. It was these characteristics that helped win for him the office of Class President. “Lew” could boast of many hard-fought victories in tennis. He was the “ace” of our class. It did not take much to over¬ come an opponent when “Lew” pur over one of his smashing serves. “Lew’ gave an excellent presentation as the hero of the Dramatic Club play, “Vanity”, which called for much skill in the art of love making. Fortuna Fortibus Favit GEORGE ANTHONY WINSLOW Northwest School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Boys’ Com¬ mercial Club. George was one of the few really quiet and unassuming young men to be found at Weaver. He was always at work, diligently striving to attain his goal. He was a good business man, and showed his ability along this line in the commercial classes. To George, a joke was a vital necessity, and his visible appreciation of the numerous anecdotes related about his section of 227, was exceedingly noticeable. He is a good listener, which characteristic many of his felloW ' Studes made good use of be¬ fore school. His calm and dignified manner invoked the friendship of his companions. ROSE YUSH Northwest School; A. A.; Girls’ League; Ingle- sicle Club. Most of us have had little opportunity of becoming acquainted with Rose as she did not take part in many of the extra curricular activities at Weaver. Her chief interest was in perfecting her¬ self as a saleslady, and we don’t doubt but that her winning smile and gracious manner will be great assets in this line of business. In spite of the fact that Rose was not a prominent member of our class, those who have known her have found her very agreeable.

Rose is a vivid brunette possessing soft brown eyes and flashing white teeth. She always displayed a most friendly interest in everyone and was a sympathetic listener to anyone in trouble. Rose had a talent for drawing, and joined the Art’s Craft Club in order to express herself in the artistic vein. A large part of her spare time was spent in making sketches. A most infectious laugh belonged to this young miss and she often sent others off into gales of laughter. [ 63 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit CLASS NIGHT PROGRAM President ' s Address .

So lest I forget,—The class of ’33A greets you all and welcomes you this evening to the exercises of its own great day, the twenty-sixth of January, in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirty-three. It is our year, our day. It is the last time the class as a whole can sit in the sometimes popular auditorium as undergraduates. It is the first time that we can stand here on the platform in our Principal’s own place, with the Principal’s own prerogative of saying anything that occurs to us, or that has been carefully planned beforehand, with the pleasant consciousness that that same Principal will not arise and reprove this same Senior class for unbecoming levity in the auditorium. It is hard to realize. The his¬ torians must go hack and the prophet and prophetess must project themselves into the future, hut the realization of my time is harder: that this can he today, the day for which some of us have longed and planned, and have dreaded finally — a few of us. Everyone looks real enough. You have about the same tolerance that I have pic¬ tured in the faces of the audience at this time. Hut we might have practiced for this occasion. We have done it — some of us. There is a bureau in the corner of my room which in no way resembles our teachers, and yet which has grown almost sympathetic when I have looked steadfastly at it and said helplessly for the hundredth time, “Faculty”, and in my mind’s eye I have gazetl earnestly at the “Students and Friends” seated in another corner of the room—the whole body of them — on a single chair, until I have been oppressed by the crowd and gone out for fresh air. And now, what have I to say? Very little, I am afraid, and having very little, I am afraid I shall say more than I have ever said at one time before. Hut if I stand here like a tiresome preface, I have one advantage from my point of view over a written introduc¬ tion — I cannot he skipped nor laid aside to be read at leisure. I might ramble through a whole maze of possible class night subjects, and there would be no way of escaping me. Hut I fear that I have rambled long enough. On second glance, I know I have rambled long enough. . s you all perhaps know, “Speech is silver,” and “Silence is golden” — and I think I ' ll abide by the gold standard. . fter all— Louis Weinstein. [65 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit HISTORY Ladies and Gentlemen: Unfortunately, Mildred Bromberg (you know she’s the other Historian) was (I hope they haven’t failed me) taken very suddenly ill. In fact, she was very (I hope nothing went wrong) very suddenly taken ill. What a break! None of you out there are close friends of Mildred Bromberg, are you. Well, don’t go telling her parents. Yes, I know she’s a nice girl, and a good pal. She stayed at home and wrote the entire history while I went skating, but now that she’s not here why should we bother with a dry History. Let’s do something more interesting. I’ll see if I can’t find a sofa. You can pick out the most beautiful girl in the hall, and we’ll find something more interesting to do. Now, let’s get start- (Mildred comes in) Why—(aside) I thought Craty Shoor had taken her for a ride. He guaranteed that she would be sick by this time. The double crosser. Why hello. Mil- I’m sorry you’re late. I was just telling all these people how sorry I was that you weren’t here, and what a shame it was that we couldn’t present the History. It’s all right now though; I’m sure you’ll go on with it since we really want you to. Mil —Jesse! Please don’t talk so much! I really don’t know where I’m at. Some¬ thing happened to me and everything was mixed up. Then before I could comprehend anything (Craty Shoor was with me) I saw Craty running from me as if I were afflicted with the plague. Then I discovered that he had lost his gum and was running, as quickly as possible, for the nearest drug store in order to procure some more. I’m all upset. My kingdom for a glass of water! Jesse —And my class night for that piece of gum. Mil —Now you’re getting to be as boring as Shale Tulin’s fish stories. His fish cer¬ tainly grow fast. Perhaps that’s, where he got his imagination for the “Scoop,” which he founded. Jesse —Yes, he must count his fish by tens. He would put one fish in the pail and it would equal 10, 2 fish — 20, 3 fish — 30, 4 fish- Mil —Hold up, Jesse! I’m not referring to the holdup at the Alumni dance either. You know, a couple of thieves broke in and kindly relieved Louis Ludgin of his alarm clock. Poor fellow! Perhaps that’s the reason why he always is sleeping in his classes, for there’s nothing to wake him up. Joe Gipstein is another person who needs a watch that keeps time well. It was quite a usual thing to see him come strolling in late at very frequent intervals. Jesse —There was a basketball game before that dance, too. Most of the elite of the sport circles were present. (Tableau of Eleanor Hurd and all letter men, all wearing sweaters with “Major W.” Micky Kaplin holding a baseball bat and basketball; Jack Goldenthal holding a basketball; Leonard DuBoff a football helmet; William Toohey holding a football; Patsy Verrengia holding a soccer ball.) Jesse —Eleanor Hurd was the first girl to receive a “Major W.” Mil —Mickey Kaplan’s flashy dancing form on the basketball court reminded us of the toe dancers at the Capitol. Jesse —Leonard DuBoft had shoulders like the Parthenon. When he tackled some one the fellow would just lie down and sing “Home Sweet Home.” Mil —Patsy Verrengia as captain of the Soccer team was as solid and substantial as an elevator shaft. Jackie Goldenthal played a good game of basketball. He certainly had a mean eye on that basket. I always wondered why the basket didn’t get sore at him. Jesse —Bill Toohey certainly showed grit as cjuarterback on the football team. In the H. P. H. S. game someone asked, “Say, Bill, are you hurt. Take time out and take a rest.” Bill, half dead, said, “Naw, I’m alright. Let’s go,” and then fell down, unable I 66 ] ForiMHia Foriibuis Favit THE ECHO to stand on his feet. And mentioning H. P. H. S. — Beating them was as difficult as getting the hat checking concession in a Jewish synogogue. . 7—We certainly heat them when we were Juniors, though. Another member of our class, though he didn’t win great renown and acclamation, who was very persever¬ ing, is Eddy Powers. He tried out for football when he was a freshman. Jesse —.‘ nd another member who belongs in the annals of sport is Morris Dorman. He’s one of the fastest fellows in our class and is certainly a great runner. A —The girls in our class participated in many sports, also, and- Jesse —Speaking of the weaker sex- Mil —We’re not as weak as all that. Do you remember the time Peg Reilly blackened Chick Waltman’s eye? Of course, it happened some time ago, but Peg still shows the same fire and spirit that has made her one of the most popular members of our class. Jesse —And while we’re speaking of Peg, I’m going to divulge a secret that previously the answer to which was unknown. (Confidentially). You know Peg once received a telegram on Valentine’s Day, the sender of which modestly signed the initial J. Well, I think 1 know who sent it! Let me see, who could J stand for? John Britt, Jacob Fruchtman, Joseph Ciipstein? Mil —No, 1 don’t believe it could have been any of them. Jesse —Jack Goldenthal, Joseph Mandell? Mil —Stop teasing. Can’t you see we’re all on edge. Who was it? Jesse —Do 1 see Johnny Hurwitz blushing? He certainly looks suspicious. Well, I think I’ll let you solve that problem yourself. (Thoughtfully). But Johnny certainly does look guilty. Perhaps it’s merely because he’s bashful and dislikes to be in the public eye. Mil —Speaking of bashfulness, Irving Saxe can be placed in that category. Why every time a girl passes him he blushes, and Claude Phenix and Earl Peterson are almost as bad as he is. Carleton Meigs is also quite unostentatious. You know, a few months ago some girl came around collecting money for charity. When it was Carleton’s turn he heaved a prodigious sigh, dug deep down into his pocket and produced- Jesse (excited)—What? Mil —A penny. Don’t misunderstand me, tho’, for it was only for the penny campaign. Jesse —We have some artistic talent in our class also. Gloria Cunningham contrived some excellent bracelets, and Edith Downes produced some ingenious work in cartoons for our Class Book. (Tableau of Edith Downes.) And did you know that we have a poet in our class? Why Harold Kaufman was talked about tor days in regard to his parody on “Burke’s Conciliation.’’ It is the most unique, original, clever, and satirical work that we have had from any of our classmates. You’ve read it. Mil. Give us a sample of the work from this patented genius. Mil —Why—er—ah—Mary had a little lamb. Jesse —Sh, don’t give it all aw ' ay. That’s enough. I wonder if Harold would allow us to mention another poet besides himself? Mil —1 guess we can risk it. We’re willing to face his wrath. Go ahead. Jesse —Well, Carl Sandburg recited some of his own poetry to us last year, and accompanied himself on the guitar. It was extremely enjoyable. Mil —Speaking of Harold we also know that he is very much interested in a certain, petite, vivacious girl with black hair. Jesse —That is a nice romance. Incidentally, Mason Hommel is rather fickle. Mil —I can rememlier the time when he and- [ 67 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit Jesse —Let’s drop the subject of romances and proceed with something else. Kay Lavinio wanted to buy an A. A. ticket so that she could say that she was a member. Is that school spirit, Kay.? Jesse —Speaking of spirit, don’t you think Bea Kovner showed plenty in her portrayal of Vanity.? She did an excellent piece of work. Jesse —So did Louis Weinstein, for that matter. In addition to that, it was the first time he had appeared on the stage. Mil —I hear that the Business Board of the Class Book had some time in obtaining a sufficient number of ads for the Class Book. I can just imagine how Matthew Keevers, and the others looked, trying to cajole some hard-hearted business man to sub¬ scribe for an ad. Jesse —You know, we ought to have Mario Orefice here with his pad and pencil ready to jot down any bit of news. (Tableau of Mario Orefice.) Mil —Yes, he was that energetic sports reporter with the tools of his trade always in evidence. Jesse —Ethel Glaiber produced some merriment in our chemistry class a few months ago. Each person had some sort of chemical liquid into which he had to exhale. In¬ stead of doing so, Ethel calmly inhaled the liquid and got some mouthful. Mil —I can add something about another Ethel, too. Did you know that Ethel Ger was once offered an opportunity to appear professionally on the stage.? Jesse —She was? What for.? Tap dancing, singing, aesthetic dancing.? Mil —I’m not going to give her secret away. You ask her sometime, and she’ll tell you. Jesse —Seeing that you won’t answer my question. I’m going to perplex you with one. Did you know that David Peterson belongs to the Royal Order of Tormentors.? Mil —Royal Order of what.? Jesse —Tormentors. He’s guaranteed to ruin anyone’s nerves in one sitting, cause people to call for the police, give the undertaker business, wake up the baby and make it cry all night, and create a general havoc. Mil —That’s easy. I know the answer. He belongs to the A Capella Choir. Jesse —Our class rivaled the A Capella Choir at that memorable sleigh ride held in freezing weather. Some of the members ran half of the way in order to keep warm. Red noses were in evidence, which gave some of the classmates a slightly inebriated appearance. Mil —Red! What does that suggest? Oh! I know. Valerie Farrell and Estelle Irving’s hair. They were two bright spots of color and were certainly outstanding. Jesse —Even so they’ve had a rival. However, this young lady changes her mind every once in a while. Sally Littman’s hair is now blond, is it not.? Mil —Lil Adelman was also an outstanding member of our class. She went around perfectly poised, supremely sophisticated, breaking hearts right and left. She also knew how to wear clothes, as also did May Stien and Sonia Novar. They are three of the best dressed girls in our class. Jesse —You know, some of our classmates ought to develop into good politicians. No insult, intended, but all the political tricks were exercised at our class elections. We had all the “ballyhoo,” whispering campaigns, and advertising that is associated with modern politics. The only thing lacking were platforms. Mil —In spite of such proceedings, though, there are quite a few honorable and serious members in our class. Why in the Honor Society a few of our representatives are: (Tableau of Sylvia Burrill, Bernard Glaubman, Donald Krech, Emma Sbrocco and Jacob Fruchtman.) (Roll of drums heard.) [68 1 Fortiana Fortibus Favit THE ECHO Jesse —A drum, a drum, Beleskie doth come. (Tableau of “Pickles” Beleskie with drum.) Pickles was one of the ablest drummers Weaver has ever had. Mil —Yes; and Pickles used to have plenty of arguments with Beulah Barmash. You know, she’s the young lady who inadvertently sat down in 240 — on the floor. Jesse —Yes, she curled up just like a gummed label. Mil —Rol ert Cohen was one of the most ambitious meml ers of the Class Book Edi¬ torial Board, and certainly showed himself to he a conscientious worker. Arlene Golden was also on the hoard, but her work was interrupted at frequent intervals by jaunts to the park for a certain type of refreshment. Catch on, Arlene? Jesse —We have quite a generous meml er in our class also. Why, Solomon Land would even give the sleeves off of his vest for anyone who was in want. Mil —Yes, such generosity is appalling. Jesse —(contemplatively) Now let me see! There are so many things I can say about Lug Lihman that I don ' t t]uite know where to begin. Class —How about the ties? Jesse —Oh, yes. Billy was chairman of the tie committee. Whenever he entered the class room the first question that greeted him was the inevitable one, “How about the ties? Harold (Joldstein was another conscientious, dependable fellow. But when he came from Mr. Crowell’s English class after a quiz, he must have felt like the symptoms on a medicine bottle. Mil —Rita Aronson also managed to get her work done. But she always did do some elaborate bluffing in the history class. I wonder how much she really accomplished? Miss Bickford is pretty keen. (Loud noise heard outside.) Jesse —What was that? Mil —That must he Helen Hurvitz and Laura (lorhan. They’re cjuite radical communists. Jesse —That’s a surprise to me. Mil —Yes, it would he, hut their communistic tendencies weren’t much in evidence in high school. Jesse —That noise was almost as loud as the snap when Eddy Sleeper broke his hand. (Tableau of Eddy Sleeper.) Eddy was all set to make the first string tackle position when that ill luck befell him. Mil —That certainly was a had break for him. Jesse —Before he broke it, he packed in plenty of cakes that Mrs. Phelps used to bake for the football team whenever they took long trips. Mil —Mmm—I could have some now. I wonder if he’s saved any? Jesse —He certainly took enough. Let ' s see. He should have a couple left for you. (They walk up to Eddy, dig into his bandaged hand, and produce cookies. Both contentedly munch them.) Mil —They were delicious. Thanks, Mrs. Phelps, and you too, Eddy. It was very considerate of you. [ 6Q ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit PROPHLCY Scene: Main Street in Hartford. Time: 1943. (As the curtain parts, Crate Shoor is seen dressed as a street cleaner and leaning against a rubbish can fast asleep. Bee Kovner enters from the right driving a small car. She bumps into the can and upsets it, causing Crate to fall.) Crate —(regaining his feet) S-a-a-a-a-y, where do you think you’re going. (he grasps one of the wheels of the car as Bee makes an attempt to drive away.) Bee —I beg your pardon, but I have the right of way. Crate —(thunderstruck) Holy Mackerel!!! Am I in Heaven, or am I in He-eaven. ' “ Bee? Bee Kovner! Beatrice Phyllis Kovner! who would ever think of meeting you here? Bee —I beg your pardon! What right have you to (breaking off as she recognizes Crate when he removes his hat and scratches his head) Creighton Shoor!! Crate —Sure, don’t you remember the surest member of the class of 33A of Weaver? Bee —Oh sure! — But why the regalia? Where’s the masquerade? Crate —There’s no masquerade. This is my working outfit. I’ve had this job ever since Robert Cohen was appointed street commissioner. Who would ever think I’d end up like this? Bee —Oh, come on. Why look so glum? Crate —I shouldn’t; my business is better than any one else’s in the world. Bee —How is that? Crate- —It’s always picking up. Bee —The reason why I feel so good is that I hear Eleanor Hurd’s cheery voice over the telephone every morning. You know, she is the head operator at the telephone exchange. Crate —-Yes, I know. I can remember the times I used to walk down the corridors behind her, trying to keep track of the number of “hellos” she said in five minutes. If there was one thing I liked in Eleanor, it was her sunny smile. Bee —By the way, that pipe looks familiar. I’m sure I used to see it in Weaver. Crate —-Yeah, you’re right. It was given to me by Sam Linderberg, tbe present head of the Salvation Army. I noticed the initials H. B. C. on it one day; then I remembered that I had seen it often in the mouth of one of my former teachers at Weaver. Bee —Have you seen any of our other classmates, lately? Crate —Sure! Maxwell Kroopneck collects my day’s work regularly. It’s a funny thing, but he told me today that he had just purchased a new harness for his horse that was made by Joe Mandell. Bee —I guess Joe thinks that “harnessing” (honesty) is the best policy. (During the foregoing conversation Crate has been picking up newspapers from the street and putting them in an ash can. He picks up one whose headlines draw his eye. He smooths out the paper, utters a loud exclamation of surprise, and hands the paper to Bee.) I 70 ] Fortiana Fortibuas Favit THE ECHO Bee —(joocI Heavens! What’s this? Well-known Baseball Manager Seriously Injured in a Triple Auto Crash on Way to Manage the Philadelphia Athletics. Police investigating the case find that the accident occurred because Louis Ludgin, the baseball manager, was lx;ing taught how to drive by Mildred Bronil erg. Miss Bromberg is Radioland ' s most recent find as a substitute for Kate Smith. (Looking up from paper.) There must l ' )e some mistake. This can ' t be true. Crate —I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a mistake. Johnny Hurwitz is make-up editor of the paper. Bee —Whew, this shock is too much for me. Why not come up to my apartment to have a bite to eat and to recuperate from the shock? Crate —O. K., but don’t keep me long. You know “business is business’’. (Scene shifts to Bee’s living room. There is a radio at the rear of the room.) Crate —(feeling the seat of the chair) What have you been doing with your furniture, anyway? Why is this chair so warm? Bee —Oh, Jesse Philips must have done it. He was here to see me several hours ago. You know, he had practice in warming benches at Batterson Field. Crate —What did he come here for? Bee —Oh, 1 have a mortgage on Aurelia Ciccosanti’s “Chick” Farm, and he wanted to know how much it was worth, in addition to getting Marguerite McCarthy the job of interior decorating the insides of the hen coops. Rose Zaccagnino, “Chick’s” pal, has gone in for modernistic art drawings. Sadie Backer started in business with her, but the sight of Sadie brought so many customers that she retired on the money that she made giving good advice. Crate —Speaking of retiring makes me recall that I have a post card in my pocket to mail to Nona DuCharme in Paris. Bee —Is she still traveling on the money she earned when at Weaver? Crate —Yeah, and Robert Kimenher is her press agent. Say, what happened to the smallest girl in the class? Bee —Isabelle has a permanent position now. Crate —(incredulous) In this depression? Bee —She takes dictation or rather orders from our class poet. Crate —Say, Bee, how about going to Parsons’ with me tonight? Bee —I’m sorry. Crate, but I went last night. Leah Crotta has the leading role in the revue, “Whoopee in 19-13,” written by Winthrop Steele. Ceorge Wassell is the snappy director. Crate —(confidently) 1 knew they would all end that way; but I’ve got bigger news yet. I heard that Jesse Lebetkin was preferred to Miriam Herzfeld for the solo headliner in Flo Ziegfield’s latest musical comedy. Bee —I’m famished. Crate, aren’t you? (Crate nods glumly.) R un down to Siegal and Coldfarb’s chain store and get some bacon and egg sandwiches. ((lives him money after he searches in pockets for some coins without avail. Crate then leaves as Bee straightens up the room. She strolls over to the radio and turns it on.) Announcer (who is actually Crate)—This is station WHS, Hartford, Conn. . t this point, ladies and gentlemen, we are pleased to present to you two musicians who need no introduction. They will revive songs reminiscent of their enjoyable school days. I present to you first, Sam Kedes. He played before Calvin Coolidge — you see, Coolidge has been playing a cornet only four years. Sam has been playing fiae. (. t this point Kedes plays on a cornet over the radio, “Where Will I Be a Hundred Years From Now?”) I 71 1 Fortuna Fortibus Favit Thank you, Sam; and now we will hear from Joe Gipstein, that famous finger expert, who will entertain you with a selection he used to hum in school every day. (Gipstein plays, “Home Sweet Home.”) Announcer —As their closing number the two boys will play together. (Gipstein and Kedes play, “School Days, School Days.”) Announcer —We wish to announce that A1 Miller and Henry Murphy have respect¬ fully declined to substitute for Colonel Stoopnagle and Bud tomorrow evening, because they fear it will injure their amateur standing. However, A1 Miller consents to give an instructive lecture entitled, “Tacks—Their Usefulness In Keeping Students Wide Awake.” H is talk will be sponsored by Fruchtman’s Delicatessen, specialists in all delicacies for the table, who wish to announce that tomorrow, with each purchase of ten dollars or over, a guaranteed, beautiful, hand-carved, carefully-sharpened toothpick will be given away free. It will be your gain to take advantage of this wonderful, free, gift offer. We now present late news flashes:—Vivian Elkins and Dorothy Kovarsky have been appointed as regular teachers at the Weaver High School by Superintendent of Schools, Sylvia Rohowsky. George Poritz, a former Hartfordite, is now yodeling to cows out West. When interviewed by George Winslow he refused an offer to join the Mills Brothers Quartet for an unknown reason, but stated that his voice has improved one hundred per cent since his departure from high school. Four distressed young ladies were found yesterday on a deserted island in the Pacific Ocean. These ladies said that they had been shipwrecked and cast on the island utterly devoid of masculine help. Their names were given as: Amelia Angelo, Susan Benmaor and Sarah Bogoratt. The following announcements are paid for by several well-known business people: — The Press-Odelman Loan Shoppe is now open for business. You are sure to get service in the Press-Odelman Shoppe for the proprietors have many years of experience in that line in back of them. Stop in at Dunn’s Bun Bakery and sample Dunn’s delicious buns. Dunn’s buns are the only buns in Hartford that are done (Dunn).-—-At this time, ladies and gentlemen, we would ordinarily turn you over to Philip Kovalsky who was scheduled to broadcast the blow-by-blow description of the Frances Kleiman-Rose Yash ping-pong battle, but due to inclement weather conditions we are unable to afford you that pleasure. This is Station WHS signing off until tomorrow morning, when Leonard Goldstein, the Early Bird, will awaken you with a group of solos. This is Station WHS signing off on a frequency of six hundred motorcycles. Your announcer — Turner Dial. (Crate returns, rushing in hastily.) Bee —Say, what took you so long. Do you know whom you kept waiting? Crate —Yes, I know, but I couldn’t help it. Siegal and Goldfarb’s Grocery has gone into receivership; so I had to go to the Keney Park Pond House, where the manager, A1 Verillo, fixed me up. Then, on my way back Alvin Garber forced me to give him my autograph. Bee —You didn’t have to, did you? Crate —I sure did. Bill Toohey and Lenny DuBoff were his bodyguards. Bee —Oh, no wonder. Well, you certainly missed plenty. Several of our former classmates’ names were mentioned over the radio. Crate —S’too bad. I would have got here in time but I got interested in a race down the street a way. A1 Lieberman bet Mary Fenn a pair of crutches that he could beat her in a foot race. Of course, Mary won. (Both start munching sandwiches and olives.) Bee —I heard your pal, George Norman, gave up being a cashier at the National Bank in order to sell red neckties. Is tha t so? Crate —Yes, I guess red ties attract him more than money does. (Picking up a heavy book.) Where did you get this little book? [ 72 ] Fortnina Foriibos Favit THE ECHO Bee —That ' s Irving Saxe ' s condensed dictionary. He gave me one of the first that was published. (Crate drops hook on Bee ' s toe, making her scream.) Crate —What are you making all the racket for? Bee —You drop[x;d it on my { t bunion that Sanford Solomon came all the way from Chicago to oj rate on. You know, he ' s a chiropodist. Crate —A what? Bee —A chiropodist — foot surgeon. Crate —Oh, why didn ' t you say so at first? (Crate takes out toothpick from a jeweler ' s case and starts to pick his teeth.) Bee —Why keep that toothpick in a special case? Crate —This is my only souvenir of my da ys at Weaver that I ' ve got. It ' s made from the desk top that Patsy ' errengia took home the last day of school. Bee —It ' s a real antique, isn ' t it? But I’ve got a souvenir also. I’ve got the song that John Britt wrote when he was a senior. Crate —What was the name of the song? Bee —It was very original. The name of it was, “How Blue I Am.” Crate —(sarcastically) Johnnie was always the solemnest member of our class. Bee —What became of the two Cohens, Morris and Abe? I haven’t heard anything about them for a long time. Crate —They’re incorporated and are making ice cream cones. Irving Crouse is their distributor, but they say he’s not “living the life of Riley” because he eats up all the profits. Bee —Well, I know one person who is “living the life of Riley.” Crate —Who’s that? Bee —Margaret Reilly. (A blare of music is heard.) Crate —(jumping up hurriedly) Oh, my gosh! There’s Libman’s Circus of Freaks coming into town. I must be going. Bee —But, Crate, stay a while, you don’t have to go see a circus. Crate —Oh yes, I tlo. Libman has a herd of one hundred elephants. (Runs ofT stage leaving Bee alone.)

Full many a student, filled with hope, Its awesome covers, sir, did ope. And as he scanned the printed page Despair first gripped his heart, then rage. For who, sir, as he reads the text. Can say he’s not a little vexed To find what seems a hopeless jumble? Small wonder he is wont to grumble. fust as the minotaur once sought To trap the victims to him brought. So, Burke, in labyrinth of thought. Seeks to get the student caught. Alas! Alas! What is our crime That we should have to spend our time In puzzling over muddled maze Of argument and tangled phrase? No more shall we be free from care. Or walk abroad with happy air. Nay! Nay! sir, like the convict, we Have been deprived of liberty. Yes. Slaves are we to endless toil; For just as soon as we uncoil One sentence, countless new ones loom Before our eyes, and spell our doom. Now let it ne’er be said of us That we, good sir, would make a fuss Because we had to do some work; For work is one thing we don’t shirk.(?) But what, pray tell me, shall we gain From this distressing mental strain? “We’ll learn to think,” no doubt you’ll say. But isn’t there some other way? This is an era of depression. (If I may use that worn expression.) New problems need our concentration .Much more than Burke’s “Conciliation.” If we must learn to use the brain. Surely we have more to gain By pond’ring on the tasks ahead Than on old questions cold and dead. Reports of Wickersham’s commission Should to our courses find admission. They have much food for thought, no doubt. For few know what they’re all about. The major party platforms, too. Can oiler us enough to do. Away with that old speech by Burke And let us have some modern work. We hope, good sir, that you don’t think That we’re so “dumb” the speech can’t sink Through our thick skulls, for it’s not true. Though it must seem that way to you. The truth is that since we were babies We’ve heard Burke’s speech is like the rabies. Though our ideas of it were vague. We learned to dread it like a plague. Does it seem, then, so very queer That we should now be filled with fear .■ s we take up the dreaded work Of that old pedant, Edmund Burke? Did not the British sages spurn it? (I wonder why they didn’t burn it.) Since first ’twas spoken it’s been hated, Nor has this hatred e’er abated. Alas! Have we not cares enough? Is not our path already rough? Oh, no! The youth of this whole nation Must study Burke’s “Conciliation.” I 83 ] Fortuna Fortibus Favit LETTE.R MEN Football Leonard DuBoft Jesse Philips William Toohey Baseball Milton Kaplan Louis Ludgin William Toohey Basketball Jack Goldenthal Milton Kaplan Soccer Tennis Patsy Verrengia Albert Lieberman Numerals and Wilbur Libman Donald Krech Albert Lieberman Jack Goldenthal Milton Kaplan Minor Letters William Toohey Robert Cohen Louis Weinstein Jesse Philips Creighton Shoor Eleanor Flurd Mary Fenn Sylvia Burrill Mildred Bromberg Nona DuCharme Mary Fenn Isabelle Fried Leah Grotta Beatrice Kovner Margaret Reilly Girls ' Leader Corps Aurelia Ciccosanti Honor Society Louis Weinstein Miriam Herzfeld Estelle Irving Emma Sbrocco Jacob Fruchtman Bernard Glaubman Harold Kaufman Robert Kimenker Donald Krech Irving Saxe Edward Sleeper [84] a Fortibus Favit ECHO THE ADVLRTI5LMLNT5 AI) ’HRTISERS H.

Without the hard efforts of all concerned in deliver¬ ing this offering to you, that it may be a storehouse for pleasant memories and as¬ sociations, it would not have been possible. May you enjoy this book as we have enjoyed creating it — a Silhouette of our high school days. We wish to express our deepest appreciation to our faculty adviser, Mr. Cunningham.

She is not, however, boisterous or noisy, but merely full of “pep” and fun. Holcomb Street School. Girls’ League; A. A. LILLIAN M. ANDERSON “Lil” “Lil” arrived at Weaver at the beginning of our senior year and made such inroads on masculine hearts that she was invited to the reception of the outgoing class. We think that is fast work. She is a very sweet individual who does her work well, and we prophesy for her much success in her chosen life-work. New Britain High. Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club; Choir. ELIZABETH ANDREWS “Betty” We are sure Elizabeth will some day be a dignified lady of society. But a mischievous twinkle in her eyes shows she is not always quiet. “Betty,” we hear, is an enthusiastic horseback rider. She also has a vivid imagination, which was shown in her delightful themes. Holcomb Street School. Girls’ League; A. A.; Arts-Craft Club; Honor Society. Never tardy. [ 16 ] Nulla Vestigia Retrorsum SILHOUETTES CLAIRE P. ARBITMAN Out of the wilds of Bloomfield rode young Lochinvar — we mean Claire, to conquer physiology with her trusty mace of study. She is one of the exponents of the recent masculinity in women movement as exemplified by the ravishing Marlene Dietrich. Evander Childs High School. Girls’ League. MILTON AVROCH “Milt” “Milt” was one of our automobile fans. As a tennis player, he had a “rare form” which brought him many victories. He was also a faithful booster of the Boys’ Club. His soccer playing carried with it his undying “pep” and enthusiasm. His red hair together with his sunny smile made him a cheer¬ ful student. Northwest School. Boys’ Club; A. A.; Junior Glee Club; Junior Orchestra; Senior Choir; Soccer Squad. ADELLA BADGE Adella came to us from Willimantic at the beginning of our senior year, but already she has made some good friends. She does not make friends readily, but she keeps those that she does make. Adella would like to go to college at some school where she could major in the art of designing clothes as that is her passion. Windham High School, Willimantic. Girls’ League; A. A.; Ingleside Club. [ 17 ] Nulla Vestigia Retrorsum SILHOUETTES P. FRANK BAMBARA “Patsy” “Patsy” would never classify as a “Latin shark” although he always had a translation, and sometimes added a few points which Virgil omitted. He spent much time practicing track. Whenever the tennis courts were open, one was sure to find “Patsy” there. He had a passion for white sweaters which showed up his black wavy hair to advantage. Northwest School. Boys’ Club; A. A.; French Club. Never tardy. HOPE BANFIELD Many of her classmates wondered why Hope liked Senior English and Latin so well, but only her most intimate friends really knew. Her enthusiasm for Girl Scouting will probably make her the pride of her classmates when they say, “We knew her when she went to Weaver.” Northwest School. Girls’ League; A. A.; “Lookout” Board; C. H. L. S., Vice-President and Treasurer. ROSE BARRABEE Rose’s favorite interests are not concerned with school. She is always occupied in playing jokes on her girl companions. The brawny, virile men in Weaver do not come up to her standards. She prefers Romeos from distant lands, at least, from other schools. Manchester High School. Girls’ League. Never tardy. [ 18 ] Nulla Vestigia Retrorsum SILHOUETTES LEONOKE BERESKY “Lee” “Lee” came to us in her Junior year from Denver, Colorado. Judging from Irer popularity wit h both sexes, we are pretty sure that the cowboys are having a dull time now. Her chestnut hair is reminiscent of the locks of the heroines so aptly described by Zane Grey. East Dcnvei ' High School, Colorado. Girls’ League; A. A. NADINE E. BLAKESLEY “Deanie” It has been said that “good things come in small packages,” and when we look at “Deanie” we agree with that old saying. She is well-liked by everyone and is an all round good sport as is shown by the variety of clubs to which she belongs. We shall always be rooting for “Deanie.” Northwest School. A. A.; Girls’ Leaders’ Corps, Vice- President and Treasurer; Girls’ League, Treasurer; Ring Com¬ mittee; Girls’ Basketball Team; Baseball Team; Soccer Team; Class Prophetess. Never tardy. GERTRUDE BORDEN Oley Speaks must have had a picture of “Gert” in mind when he wrote his never-to-be forgotten song “Sylvia,” for “Gert’s” hair is “like the night, touched with dancing starry beams.” In only one respect does she differ from “Sylvia.” Whereas “Sylvia” was naive, “Gert” is quite sophisticated. Northwest School. Girls’ League; A. A.; Choir; Glee Club. [ 19 ] Nulla Vestigia Retrorsum SILHOUETTES JOSEPH S. BROUDY “Joe” “Joe” was a happy-go-lucky incliviciual. His studies never worried him. Although he did not spend four years in Weaver, he acquired many firm friends. He was always ready to help anyone with his lesson. “Joe” was in his element in Chemistry class. Milford High School, Mass. A. A.; Boys’ Club. Never tardy. H. HESPER BURLOW “Heppy” “1 leppy” cramps the other girls’ style — we mean their hair, for she is an amateur hair-dresser. She “trips the light fantastic,” at least she has at many affairs. No wall-flower is “Heppy”, for her skill in dancing makes her inordinately popular among Weaver ' s foremost debutantes. Northwest School. (Jirls’ League; Girls’ Leaders’ Corps; A. A.; Ingleside Club. FRANK H. BURKE, JR. To hear Frank talk about his marks a stranger might have wondered how he even passed in any subject. In his class rooms, however, he was diligent and often made the Honor Roll. His chief joy in life was fishing. Only during school hours were the fish in Hog River actually safe. Holcomb Street School. A. A.; Boy.s’ Club; Honor Society; Class Hook, F.tlitorial Board; Motto Committee; Junior Usher. Never tardy. [ 20 ] Nulla Vestigia Retrorsum SILHOUETTES ISABEL L. BURNS Isabel is a poet of budding talent. Her poems have been a source of amusement and interest to her friends. And she certainly can mimic. Her imitations of Garbo, Irishmen, Jews, or Englishmen are always received with bursts of laughter. Isabel’s efficiency in typing was an asset to this Class Book. Holcomb Street School. Girls’ League; Arts-Craft Club; A. A.; Typist for “Lookout”; Typist for Class Book. Never tardy. MARGARET E. CALDWELL “Peggy” We often envied the people who had ambition enough to enter a Rotary Club Contest, but that was nothing to the way we felt when, like “Peggy,” they came out with prizes. She is one of the most dependable and capable girls in the class —• also one of the most likable. Northwest School. Girls ' League; A. A.; Glee Club; Choir; A Capella Choir, Substitute; Girls’ Leaders’ Corps; Class Book Eilitorial Board. LORETTA B. CALLAHAN Loretta in her years at Weaver surrounded herself with a group of admirers, both male and female. Her popularity was evidenced by her frequent attendance at Weaver dances. She was well qualified to act in the capacity of member of the Reception Committee. Torrington High. A. A.; Girls’ League; Ingleside Club; Debating Squad; Honor Society; C. H. L. S.; Reception Com¬ mittee, Never tardy. [ 21 ] Nulla Vestigia Retrorsum SILHOUETTES CASSANDRA T. CIARLEGLIO “Cassy” “Cassy” was always ready to wise-crack and tell jokes, and we were always ready to listen to her. She made friends easily and was always willing to help and to be helped. She was an active member of the Chemistry Club. Northwest School. Girls’ League; A. A.; Ingleside Club; Inde Club. Never tardy. MARY R. CLAFFEY With Mary we associate sincerity and friendliness. She pursued her studies with diligence. All the girls taking stenog¬ raphy could testify to the statement that Mary’s shorthand was indeed something to be proud of. St. Joseph’s School. Girls’ League; A. A.; “Lookout” Typ¬ ing Hoard. Never tardy. LILLIAN C. CODY “Lil” Lillian was one of the quietest and most reserved members of the class. Her favorite subject was evidently typing. Almost every choir period and every extra period she had free was spent with her typewriter. Northeast School. Girls’ League. [ 22 ] Nulla Vestigia Retrorsum SILHOUETTES LESTER M. COHEN “Les” Lester was one of the best acrobats in our class. Many a time we watched with envy as he demonstrated his prowess in the art of performing the cartwheel, and back-flip. Many a time also we attempted to imitate his stunts, but, alas, in vain. Northwest School. Commercial Club; A. A.; Track Team. MARION E. COHEN Marion was a tiny, noiseless being, but she certainly was wide awake when it came to discussions in English class. Some of her long words put many of our taller classmates to shame. Most of the time, though, we missed her interesting thoughts, because she spoke in such a soft voice. Holcomb Street School. Girls’ League; Choir; Debating Sc uad; C. H. L. S. No demerits; never tardy. BEATRICE B. COHN One might expect Beatrice to be lively and capricious, if her red hair were taken into account. On the contrary, she was very quiet. Beatrice was painstaking and always had her lessons thoroughly prepared and gained some very high marks. Northwest School. A. A.; Girls’ League; Ingleside Club. Never tardy. [ 23 ] Nulla Vestigia Retrorsum SILHOUETTES EDWAKI) S. COLTON “Ed” And here we have the conservative editor of tliis class book — one of those silent, efficient workers who “get there. Eddie ' s deep bass laugh, indicative of a keen sense of humor, startled many a German class out of its smug placidity. His work on the “Lookout” and his scholastic attainments arc manifestations of his ability. Northwest School.

CHARLES K. CONE “Charlie” “Charlie” was the wit and humorist of the school. He was a cartoonist of outstanding ability. He always proclaimed him¬ self an ardent “woman-hater” although a little book full of telephone numbers was rarely out of his possession. We suspect those girls enjoyed hearing his clever ]7uns as much as the other students. Bulkeley High School. Boys’ Club; A. A.; Arts-Craft Club. JOHN F. CONWAY “Johnnie” “Johnnie” was the star golfer of Weaver. Besides being the captain of the golf team, he proved himself valuable to the Upper Seniors in the Interclass Basketball tournament. His sunny smile and his genial manner made him a great favorite in the school. “Johnnie” will live in our memories because of his cheerfulness and good sportsmanship. Northwest School. Boys’ Club; A. A.; Baseball and Basket¬ ball Squads; Interclass Baseball, Basketball, and Football; Captain of Coif Team. [ 24 ] Nulla Vestigia Retrorsum SILHOUETTES ELEANOR COOK “Speed” Eleanor is called “Speed” outside of school and we wonder why? Perhaps her typing and shorthand have something to do with it, for she certainly likes those two subjects. Northwest School. A. A. Never tardy. KATHLEEN M. COURTER “Kay” “Kay” was one of the most popular in our class. She was especially adept in athletics, being on the girls’ soccer, base¬ ball, and basketball teams. One of the best liked girls in the Leaders’ Corps she was elected President. She was not always happy during classes as she did not like to study. “Kay” was, however, always ready to enjoy a good joke — on herself or on someone else. Northwest School. Girls’ League; A. A.; Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ Leaders’ Corps, President; Basketball, Baseball, and Soccer Teams; Class Historian. Never tardy. NEDRA C. CRAMER Walter Winchell had nothing on Nedra “Cyre” when she started out on her weekly search for “Scoop” gossip for the “Lookout.” For such a little girl she had plenty of wit and personality. As Baruska in “The Enemy” she bore up remark¬ ably well under her fourteen petticoats. The height of Nedra’s ambition was five feet. Northwest School.

DALTON Alice was a very quiet girl whom we all liked “vera, vera much.” She will be a good stenographer or secretary for some man, judging from her work in the commercial department. Alice didn ' t look very athletic, but looks are deceiving, for her gymnastic ability entitled her to membership in the Girls’ Leaders’ Corps. Northwest School. Girls’ League; Senior Choir; A.

Although not very active in school activities outside of the Arts-Craft Club, she managed to keep busy with outside interests and amusements. She had a propensity for long and sustained piano playing and proved very popular with a selected group of feminine friends. Northwest School. Girls’ League; A. A.; Arts-Craft Club; Ingleside Club; Typist for “Lookout.” Never tardy; no demerits. HELEN DANYLIW Helen’s pleasant and efficient manner made her popular with many. There was no task too great for her to attempt. She exemplified this ability in her capacity as typist for the Class Book. Helen’s personality and character should enable her to go far.

Flowevcr, she is one of the few fun-loving girls who take school work seriously and proved to her teachers that she had more brains than the average young demoiselle of high school age. Northeast School. Girls’ League; A. A.. Never tardy, no demerits. .TAMES V. DAVIS “.lim” “Jim” was one of the most popular boys in the class. His quiet manner and his subtle sense of humor won him many frientls. He was an ardent golfer and a member of the Weaver golf team. During his four years in Weaver he was always a thorough gentleman and a credit to the school. Northeast School. A.

D’ENGENIS “Looy” Louis was a member of our class who took his school work seriously. Although he was very quiet, he had many steadfast friends. Louis could always be depended upon to do his work and to mind his own business. He will find this characteristic very helpful when he starts up the ladder of success. A. A.; Boys’ Club. Ne er absent. ELIZABETH DESMOND “Betty” Betty was our star female reporter for the Girls’ League with its multitudinous activities. Her cheery laugh relieved the tension of much detailed work while she herself labored patiently and enduringly on any assigned tasks. You may be assured that this girl will take a healthy, worthwhile attitude towards any project that she undertakes. Mount St. Joseph Academy. Girls’ League; A.

He was a bulwark in the line on Weaver’s championship eleven. “Lou” also showed his prowess in baseball, and although lacking that “Ty Cobb” speed which is an asset to a successful baseball player, he was a king of the “swat.” Holcomb Street School.

Never tardy. JOHN DOBROWOLSKY “Johnnie” Perhaps “Johnnie” was the type who thought it was not wise to open his mouth unless he had something valuable to say; at least he did just that. He also had the strength of “Tarzan” in his left arm when he threw a baseball, as opposing batters can testify. What about control, “Johnnie”? Holcomb Street School. A. A.; Honor Society; Junior Usher. C. PRESTON DONALDSON “Ham” “Ham” had a glib tongue which helped him to become a successful salesman. He was an ardent sports enthusiast although he never took an active part in them for the school. He was also very alert in his classes, always being ready with an answer to all questions.

MARGUERITE DUNN “Peg” Peg is one of the few members of our class who worked diligently for the formation of a new organization in Weaver, the Chemistry Club. Many of our classmates were attracted by her naturally curly hair which she kept well groomed. We often wondered why we saw her so often at the tennis courts in Keney Park. Was it the love of the game, Peg, or the surroundings.? St. Patrick’s School. A. A.; Girls’ League; Inglcside Club. Never tardy. DONALD W. ELRICK “Don” “Don” certainly was a brilliant fellow; his hair merely symbolized that quality. He had a rare sense of humor and always had a joke on the tip of his tongue. “Don” was active in school affairs, and took part in athletics. He was also an honor student. Northwest School.

CECILE ETHIER “Cele” “Celc” was one of the friendly girls of Weaver and her gay laugh could be heard lilting merrily on the drowsy air as she indulged in light persiflage with some friends.

Happy it is to be sure, and also momentous and memorable, for it is our first and last class night at Weaver. Similar festivals have occurred in the past and will occur again in the future, but this, our own class night, is an experience which never has come and never will come again. It is neither my purpose nor my wish to indulge in sentimentalities, but there is an inescapable bit of sentiment in the fact that after four years of common study and friendly association the time has finally arrived for the last informal gathering of our class in this beloved auditorium. Yet we are not here this evening for serious thought and sentimental meditation. We have come for gay festivity and friendly, joyous celebration. Tonight we celebrate the glories of our past and rejuvenate our spirits for the uncertainty of the future. “A little fun now and then is relished by the wisest men,” the poets tell us. So let us welcome mirth, jollity, and jest for our boon companions of this evening. Forget your cares, your sorrows, and disappointments, my friends; forget your business trials and your matrimonial entanglements. Enter into the gaiety of the occasion; be merry; be happy. It it were possible, we would observe this gala event with a fitting banquet of food and drink that would tickle the palates and brighten the countenances of all present; but like Congress we, too, have a budget to balance, and, sad to say, we must go without actual food. Yet, we have a choice diet of food for the merriment of the soul that, although unsubstantial, is worth its weight in the most lucious of victuals. Imbibe heartily the draughts of our humor and cheer. Eat lustily of our good fellowship and youthful frivolity. Our historians and prophets, our essayist, our orator, and our testators have endeavored to arrange their most appetizing viands for this mental banquet. We trust that you will appreciate our efforts. Sit back. Be comfortable, and we shall serve the delectable courses to you — our honored guests this evening. Irving Waltman.

Al — And how I do, and I also heard that Cecile was a flash on the basketball court. Kay — That was true of Ann Hagarty and Reeva Creenbaum as well. When it came to sports they were among the stars. Al — Well, Deanie Blakesley was not to be sneered at either; she did her share of the work. Kay — When it came to work or play Deanie did her part without losing her cheerful smile. Al —Speaking of a smile or perhaps I should say giggle, Pauline Graff was right there. Kay — Fll say. It was a great surprise to every one when she took that serious part in the play “The Enemy,” and did it so well. Al —That play was great. Didn’t Marvin Press and Leonard Posner do their parts well? In the third act Cinny Webster could be compared to a professional actress. Kay — Speaking of enemies, do you recall the time Weaver defeated H. P. H. S. and w ' on the city title in football? Much of their success was due to the way Rosen, Fenn, Montie, and DiCorcia crashed through their line. 182 ] Nulla Vestigia Retrorsum SILHOUETTES Al (iof{ij 2 g) —Yes, while Webber, Sechtman, Maines and Paternostro warmed the bench. Well, anyway, they saw the game for nothing. Kay ■ — But those boys weren’t the only ones who brought athletic fame into Weaver. Meyer Stone and George Quigley helped our track team immensely. Al — And Aaron Sosin did a nice job as manager of the soccer team. I always admired the way he carried the pail of water to the team without spilling a drop. Kay — Yes, and he certainly was the hero the time Miriam Gold got locked in the ticket booth in the auditorium. Al — You know I always wondered why Johnny Dobrowolsky or Preston Donaldson didn’t discover Miriam’s plight, as they were ahvays around the school late arranging books or doing other general work. Kay — Well, maybe they were watching Henry Giuca beat up one of our well known football stars. Were you there? Al —I sure was. Were you? Kay — No, but I generally had a ring side seat in gym when Rose Barrabee and Cassandra Ciarliglo had a wrestling match, but I have never found out who was stronger as yet because Rosalyn Epstein would intervene and break it up. Al — Speaking of breaking, I believe Mat Kassoff and Don Gay broke the record of the shortest course to graduation. Kay — Records were always my Waterloo, but you should have seen the awards Marion Schlossberg, Colette Schmeltz, and Alice Dalton have gotten for their records in shorthand and typing. Al — Awards remind me of rewards. Alba Palmer should get one for her prompt¬ ness in everything she did. Kay — Speaking of promptness, it certainly would be a surprise to everyone if Marie Roberts or Irene Rosenthal were behind in their work. Al — Well, Cinderella, bringing you back to the subject of who you are, were you in my French class when Augusta Katz used to rake in the good old A’s? Kay — No, I wasn’t. Did you give her much competition? Al — No, and you can’t find out who I am that way. Kay — One class of mine I am sure you were not in. It was Home Ec. It used to tickle me when Peggy Dunn insisted upon serving bread and milk at any luncheon we were to have in class. Al - — I ' ll bet that is where she got that school-girl complexion. Kay — Remember the school dances, especially the “Lookout” dances? The last one was under the direction of Nedra Cramer and it was a great success. Al — What could you expect with the great business manager Nat Kagan assisting? I remember Cliff Millard and Ed Powers were there with their flames from West Hartford. Whom did you go with? Kay — Still trying to catch me? Well I wasn’t one of the Modern Daughters anyway. They were well represented by Sue Lynch, Evelyn Manly, Rose Mottrom, and Rosalyn Murray. Al — Oh yes! And Milt Rapaport was there with a young lady from Bloomfield. 183 ] Nulla Vestigia Retrorsum SILHOUETTES Kay — Bloomfield reminds me of Joe Mecca. You could almost always see him coming or going from that direction in one of his many kinds of cars. AI —Was it after this dance that Loretta Callahan came back to look for her sister. Kay — It was either then or after one of the basketball games. Al — Basketball reminds me of the interclass games Johnny Conway starred in. Boh Finnegan also played well in those games. Kay — Johnny and Jim Davis also helped our golf team with their matches up in Keney Park. Al —Keney Park was certainly the meeting place of the high school students. Kay — I know it. Mary Claffy and Pearl Trachenroth often looked as if they would like to go up there, but they had too much typing to do. I remember the time Jean I lyman — Al — Jean? I thought her name was Jennie? It was on the room list that way. Kay — I have always wondered too, but I am wondering now who you are. Please give me a hint. {I — I’ll never forget the time I played the part of a rejected lover in the play “The Enemy” — Kay — You’re Al Martino. How foolish of me not to have guessed it before. {She is sliding her class ring on and off her finger and it jails to the floor. Al picf s it up). Al — Well, Cinderella, I’ll find out now who you are. [lie pic s it up and loo s at the initials). K. M. C.! Why Kay Courier!

[ 84 ] Nulla Vestigia Retrorsum SILHOUETTES PROPHLCY Time; 1950 Place — A kitchen in a suburban bungalow in Weaver City — Deanie is puttering about with cake hatter and other kitchen paraphernalia. The telephone rings insistently and this clamor is superseded by a sharp staccato knock on the back door. Dropping utensils pell-mell in her haste, Deanie rushes for the phone, reaching it after nearly trip¬ ping over the linoleum. She snatches up the receiver, ejaculating an irritated “Hello, hello!” into the mouthpiece. After a long and spirited conversation she hangs up with the final expostulation, “No, you’ve got the wrong party!” She hastens to the door which is suddenly thrust open by a blustering book salesman who proceeds to unleash a tirade of words, and unmindful of the lady’s emphatic protests forces his way to the table setting his books in the midst of the baking utensils. Deanie — I am much too busy this morning to listen to any sales talk. (Takes cake over to the oven.) Marvin — You are just suited then for my proposition, which is one of great import to busy persons. Deanie — Well, make it snappy and then you’ll have my whole-hearted consent to take your hasty departure. Marvin — Now madam, here is the latest and most efficacious book on etiquette. It was written by Madame Dorothy Leffingwell, published by the Hersh-Pasternack Pub¬ lishing House. Deanie — Leff-ing-well? Pas-ter-nack? Where have I heard those names before.? Marvin — Do you know that a number of nationally known celebrities have heartily endorsed this great book destined to enlighten this progressive world as to correct man¬ ners for every occasion? That famed Norkin duo commend it highly. That noted chem¬ ist, Meyer Ratner, praises it greatly, also. Deanie — I remember those names now. Is that a Weaver class ring you’re wear¬ ing? (She goes to the table and after a prolonged search finds her ring which she matches with his.) You didn’t graduate from Weaver did you? Now, what’s your name? No, don’t tell me, let me guess. Marvin — I’ll give you three guesses. Deanie — Let me think, James Roche, Lester Cohen, Harry Spector. Marvin — No, you’ll never guess. Don’t you remember Karloff from Weaver? Deanie — I know you’re Marvin Press, the little Johnson from Weaver. You haven’t grown a bit since you graduated from Weaver. Marvin — One guess suffices for me. You’re Nadine Blakesley. Say, I’d know you in any crowd. I wonder how our fellow-classmates have fared in this hard, relentless world? Deanie — Of course you know that Irving Waltman has been made Speaker of the House, and it’s rumored that he’ll run for the Presidency on the Democratic Ticket in the next election. [ 85 ] Nulla Vestigia R e t r o r s u m SILHOUETTES Marvin — He’s certainly carved his niche in the almost impregnable wall of fame and glory. No doubt he’ll win; he usually succeeded in any enterpri se he undertook. Deanie — Have some candy. They’re really delicious. I bought them at Florence Curtis’ Candy Kitchen. Marvin — Huh, well I’ll take a chance. Peanuts Rudin is always taking them and he’s still alive. (Munches loudly for a few minutes.) Do you still conscientiously attend baseball games as was your habit in those dark years of depression. The stars of yes¬ terday’s game were Joe Sherman and Sonny Rosen. They play for the Yanks which is managed by the noted Cedric Robinson. Deanie — I certainly am glad to hear that good news. It’s about time those boys got a break. Marvin — I saw in yesterday’s “Lookout” that Jack Millstein has been made Business Manager of the Peanut Venders’ Association of America which is backed by “Jake” Dubofsky and David Weinbaum. Deanie — I suppose you don’t read the society pages, but there isn’t a day that I don’t browse among the interesting notices. Gertrude Borden and her debutante daugh¬ ter are sailing for Bermuda on the S. S. Bambara. Speaking of boats that weather-beaten sea dog, Alexander Lennox, Junior, announced himself indisposed when Molly Slitt, a “Lookout” reporter, asked to interview him. Don’t let this get past the two of us, but he was really seasick. (Laughs heartily.) Marvin — Here’s a good laugh. Jack Lipman has just opened his third night club named the Parlez-vous. All the interior is finished in blue, and blues are played by the Goldberg-Avroch orchestra which is co-featured with Weinstein and Levitz, aesthetic dancers. Another attraction is the Broudy’s revue of 1950 with a chorus that contains such favorites as Harriet Johnson, Elizabeth Ziskind, and Nina Fuller. An added attrac¬ tion is a solo by Sylvia Goldman who will sing “It’s Tough To Be Famous.” Deanie — Speaking of our renowned fellow graduates, Isabel Burns is en route to Hollywood to replace the great Garbo. She is accompanied by her private secretary, Helen Hussey, and that famous publicity agent, Leo Kaufman. A1 Martino is also starring in his fifth picture which is( directed by Matt Kossoff. Marvin — Well, this is irrelevant to my visit. How about this set of books. That famous eye specialist, Martin Honer, just purchased three complete copies for himself and family. Deanie — You should go next door to Kathleen Courter. She’d make a likely pros¬ pect. You know that she is the assistant to the Postmaster General. She is giving a bridge this afternoon. There may be some likely sales because Helen Danyliw, Florence Davis, and Adelle Hambleton are going to attend. Marvin — Thanks for the valuable information. I saw Louis D’Engenis yesterday and found that he’s a confrere of mine; only he sells something attractive to the women, perfumes of all things. (A loud knock is heard on the door.) Deanie — Hello! Oh, the groceries! (She is carrying the groceries and sets them on the table.) That was the representative of the Charles Cone and Abraham Mindell Gro¬ cery Company. (She sorts various articles.) It’s a wonder, they got everything here. I always use this McCarroll spaghetti; it cooks so quickly. Marvin — Cut the gab, please, I’m here to sell books. You would surely like to appear well versed in etiquette if you were to entertain the President of the Chamber of Commerce, Arthur Leader, or that famed local geologist, Durwood Sines. Deanie — Oh, Solomon Schoolnick has that same flattering line, only he was sell¬ ing silk lingerie. [ 86 ] Nulla Vestigia Retrorsum SILHOUETTES Marvin — Yes, he represents that exclusive Kalinsky Silk Shoppe on Fifth Avenue. Ruth Nearing is head bookkeeper there. Deanie — Yes, I do most of my trading there. Ethel Tulin and Pauline GrahE model. By the way, I met Mildred Schweitzer and she informed me that she and Lillian Ander¬ son play in the Boston Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra. Marvin — Apropos of nothing, I heard recently that Leonard Posner has gone to Japan as a war correspondent. Josephine Verrengia will be his private secretary. He works for the “American Eagle,” whose editor is Edward Colton. Deanie — Did you see the parade yesterday. Hope Banfield and Alice Kittridge led the Girl Scout unit. Sidney Neiditch and Leo Reiner looked marvelous in the big float. They were surrounded by clusters of flowers. Marvin — That’s fine, but I have books to sell. Do you know any librarians or other prospective buyers? Deanie — The branch library is around the corner. Shirley Tonkin and Rosalyn Sockut work there. Then there’s Margaret Caldwell and Irma Libman, head nurses at the Weaver Hospital. They would perhaps like some for the new girls they’re train¬ ing. I’m sure that Rose Goodman, Elizabeth Andrews, Ethel Nemeroff and Lena Ruben- stein would make good prospects, since they do considerable entertaining. Marvin — Ah, thank you greatly, but the purpose of my visit was to sell you books on etiquette. How many sets would you like? Deanie — Oh, I’ve forgotten the cake. (She goes to oven and takes out the cake.) Oh, darn you and all salesmen! My cake is burned to a crisp. Marvin — Just like all women. I thought you were different, but I see you are unreasonable like all the rest. You know it was your own fault standing there gabbing all of the time. Deanie — Please depart this instant. You talk of etiquette and there you stand in¬ sultin g a poor defenseless woman. Well, why don’t you leave? Don’t stand there gaping at me like a half-wit. Marvin — ’Yery well, Madame. (She throws the burnt cake at him with all the fire of her pent-up emotion.) Deanie — “Well, that cake had at least one good aim in life.” Nadine Blakesley, Prophetess. Marvin Press, Prophet.

I’m awfully sorry to have kept you waiting, but I couldn ' t decide which tie to wear. After all, you never know whom you’re going to meet in a cemetery. Jo — Come on, we shall be lucky if we find the will. I wouldn’t want to meet anyone in this place unless I had to, and that’s the only reason why I am here. Have you the directions? Art — Yes. Jo — I still don’t see why we have to get the will, we know what’s in it. Art — Why, we have to find out what the codicil is. Jo — Well, what is a codicil? Art — It’s a bequest that has been added after the will has been drawn. Jo — Anyway, I could be in a much safer place tonight. (Hears a noise.) Arthur, where are you? Ooooh! I don’t like this at all.

Caesar Larman leaves his hearty neighing laugh to Howard Wise. Morton Lewis leaves his invisible tie to Henry Collins.” Jo ■ —• The only time one had the privilege of seeing it was at a matinee dance. “Lois Keller and Pete Garber endow Lydia Rosenblatt and Regina Phillips with their enticing dimples. “Esther Saltzman and Florence Weinstein leave a book on ‘How To Blush Becom¬ ingly at the Right Time’ to Ann Mitnick and Roily Gold.” Art — I know some girls who would like to have it. “Ruth McIntyre leaves her unerring conception of time to Tiny Walsh.” Jo — Time alone will take care of him. Art — “Frank Burke wills his inseparable companion — his fishing rod — to Edward Hafey.” Frank seems to have had other inseparable companions in the park. Jo — Here’s something that will cut down the football expenses. “Lloyd J. Roberts bequeaths his virile and sturdy form to be used as the dummy in football practice.” Art — “Joe Sherman leaves his long legs and basketball prowess to Earl Hart.” He seems to have given everything else to a certain miss. “Clifton Tompkins wills his Herculean form to Johnny Powers.” Jo — Do you think Johnny will be able to bear the burden? “Henrietta Wachtel wills her blond curly locks to Betty Brinton.” Art — Listen to this. “Ethel Weisinger leaves the singer in her name to Jerry Katz.” She feels she can get along Weis-ly enough without it.

[ 90 ] Nulla Vestigia Retrorsum SILHOUETTES ARCH1TE.CTURL IN THE FUTURE Within the next fifty years, people will find it necessary to settle their arguments in some other way than that of throwing stones, for, as far as it can be prophesied now ' , glass wdll play a most important part in architecture. Skyscrapers, schools, and homes wdll be constructed in accordance with the progress of business and finance so that the very essence of the twentieth century may be expressed in tbe vitally American style. With tbe modernistic development of art and sculpture there is a change in architecture that again revives the principles of aesthetic building and yet reflects the spirit and uses of today in the logical employment of today’s materials. The Dutch architect, Oud, said, a few years ago, “Without succumbing to an arid rationalism the new architecture wdll be essentially utilitarian; but utilitarian without excluding aspirations of a superior order. In radical opposition to the too familiar soil of produc¬ tion resulting from the inspiration of a moment and devoid of technique, of form, and of color; a new architecture will create technically, even quasi-impersonally, works perfectly adapted to an assigned end, clear in form and pure in proportions. In place of the natural charm of walls and roofs of rough materials, unstable in tbeir plasticity and uncertainly patined; in place of windows cut into small panes nebulously glazed and irregularly colored, a new architecture will offer us the definite values of artificial materials, surfaces polished and finished, the scintillation of steel and the brilliance of paint, the transparent openness of large windows of plate glass . . . Architectural evolu¬ tion thus will lead us toward a style that will appear liberated from matter, although it is joined with it more completely than ever. Disengaged from all impressionistic senti¬ mentality, dependent on clear proportions, frank colors, plainly organic forms; divested of all that is superflous; the new architecture will be able to outlive even Classical limpidity.” This new clarity of proportions and organic forms will perhaps be best expressed in the skyscraper of the future. As a whole this type of building is a powerful mani¬ festation of something fine and aspiring that America possesses, but until the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings, skyscrapers have been treated unsympathetically by their architects. At present the real character of the building is concealed under superfluous columns, buttresses, and facades, but if the organic structure is of steel there really is no object in trying to cover it. As honesty replaces the superficiality present in almost every building of this period, architecture will become “the scientific art of making structure express ideas” rather than the art of imitation from the past. With this essen¬ tial thought, the skyscraper will be proud of its height, emphasized perhaps with shining strips of copper or polished steel to catch and reflect the light and send the eye of the beholder upward to a thrillingly beautiful design of glass and steel. Of course, with such an exterior, only the most modern and convenient equipment would be suitable. So, indirectly, the architect of a successful skyscraper may influence the lives and happiness of hundreds of people. But, on the other hand, if the World’s Fair is the element that is to decide to a great extent, whether or not the skyscraper is to survive as a typical structure, there can [ 91 ] Nulla Vestigia R e t r o r s u m SILHOUETTES be little doubt that the beauty and utility of buildings are to depend on the placement of mass forms and fine design rather than on great height. Of all the buildings on the three hundred and fifty acres of land on the shore of Lake Michigan there is none taller than one hundred feet except the towers, which are all less than two hundred feet high. The illusion of height is effected, however, by the clever use of light and color to make high points seem higher. There is a feature of the exhibition, a twelve-sided house with walls of glass sup¬ ported by steel girders radiating from a central mast that is perhaps more fully developed in Buckminster Fuller’s Dymaxion House. His design for a home is prophetic of the practicality that houses in the future will represent. If this idea of making windows and walls of casein became universal perhaps the milk producers of the country could get more than 4c a quart for their milk. The six walls of the structure are double panes of casein with a vacuum between them to retain the regulated heat of the rooms within and keep out the outside climatic heat or cold, as the case may be. The house itself is supported by tension from a central mast and can be carried from one vicinity to another at will by means of a blimp. The interior is planned as probably will be all interiors in homes built half a century from now. The heat and light are supplied by the sun by means of various apparatus in the central mast and can be regulated to ideal conditions. Pneumatic doors need only a wave of the hand across the light beam of a photo-electric cell to open them; dishes wash and dry themselves and put themselves away; clothes, deposited dirty, are completely cleaned and dried in three minutes, being left in a rough dry pocket until desired. With all the inventions and conveniences com¬ bined, the housekeeper can complete her daily tasks about her Dymaxion Home in fifteen minutes so that she can get her airplane out of its hangar under the house and spend the rest of her day flying about contentedly with her neighbors. Whether or not all these new ideas in the conception and construction of a new archi¬ tecture will succeed in the future, we must grant that the houses, schools and office- buildings of the present will not always be suited to advancing modes and requirements. New ideas may be ridiculed now as absurd, as was the first automobile or the first airplane, but they at least illustrate the possibilities of new building materials and of old materials applied to new purposes.

[ 92 ] Nulla Vestigia Retrorsum SILHOUETTES OUR BLLOVF_D HATL5 All of us present in this auditorium tonight, have come into this world manacled and chained with a million fetters of heredity which can never be broken. We are bound in our speech, eyesight, fears, and a miscellaneous collection of habits to our progenitors, and break these bonds only by death. But if you and I are free to do only one thing in life, if there is one possession which neither God nor man can keep from us, that voluntary act|uisition may be termed our favorite hates, dislikes, or grudges. You may mentally berate yourself for not having done the right thing at the right time and you will chastise yourself by the hour for a thousandfold imperfections of character, but as long as the sun shines down upon us, as long as College Board examinations are given and taxes continue, you will always nurse your grudges, pamper your pet dislikes, and lovingly fondle your hatreds that egotism may not utterly vanish from this earth. After all, we are only human and what a glorious delight it is to cordially hate some one object upon which we may heap invective and abuse! How it balances our shortcomings if we can shift the blame with an appropriate word or gesture which smothers our faults. Is there a student of that greatly over-rated Latin orator, Cicero, who does not truly sympathize with Catiline and his confederates? And our old friend Caesar-—how gleefully we could have joined the Helvetians, Belgians, or Gauls, and burned bridges to bother him. How delicious it would have been to make a night raid on the imperator’s tent with fourteen-inch projectiles, gas bombs, and shrapnel that the “Commentaries” might never have been. And do you remember the dates which we so painfully absorbed in Ancient History — dates never to be remembered again? I am sure that our English teachers, too, would be amazed if they only knew how some of us regard poetry — that creation of word-intoxicated men. But it was in mathematics that our favoring divinities fled and our hopes forsook us, that we might stumble and fall upon the altar of that vicious god — the hypotenuse on the right triangle. How we figured and struggled and sweated over those cold, emotionless figures only to find the sum of one equalling a mystic zero! To nurse such grudges fills our souls with pleasure although our report cards declare us bankrupts. But what is a dross, materialistic accomplishment like a sordid A? Of course, these hates and grudges of ours proceed from purely selfish motives, and so we treasure them all the more. Many college students discount the relative im¬ portance and significance of that cherished key, Phi Beta Kappa; but, such is the perversity of human nature, we have yet to hear of one of these conscientious objectors who refused election to that society. We have all had that feeling of hopeless despair which creeps into each one of us when the valedictorian and salutatorian are announced, and we secretly admire and envy their ability. But our hearts are blackest when we observe the infernal grind — the midnight-oil “plugger” who tries to trip the instructor on some point which is as inconsequential as his own brain apparatus. Personally, this drudge is one of my own favorite hates, since he usually receives all benefits with an open hand which he soon clenches when asked to give of his services in the form of time or effort. May his tribe soon decrease! The vagaries of diet present a prodigious field for pet dislikes. Our average Amer¬ ican either pampers or wrecks that highly publicized digestive organ, the stomach. We coddle our palates and religiously abstain from recognized evils — that is, recognized by former experiences or hearsay. Many is the tale that has been told of horrible, monstrous, red lobsters attacking an uneasy sleeper in the deep blackness of night when all the world is quiet except his leaden stomach. You have all been pleased to call spinach by the name of sand, and just think of the embarrassment caused by a L 93 ] Nulla Vestigia Retrorsum SILHOUETTES virile onion which has produced as much nationwide calamity as our dear advertising disease — Halitosis. Mention caviar and the average nose sniffs disdain and envy for those who can enjoy that delicacy. But the deliberate cultivation of a personal distaste can he very serious and can work infinite harm in a country as varied in humanity as the United States. Just before election time every sane citizen forgets his education or intelligence and revels in a debauch of mud-slinging, muck-raking, and violent anathema hurled against political candidates on the other side of the fence. Heaven help the statesman who has acted like a human being and indulged in the unpardonable sin of committing an error! His doom is sealed by a crew of professional character destroyers who have intentionallv created a public grudge. It is too true that woman suffrage must be under¬ valued greatly, since our women voters are swayed by sentimentality or a minor personal dislike, such as the speech, accent, or poor clothes taste of the political candidates. A dislike may easily develop into a religious hatred and influence millions of people to vote from prejudicial motives, as was witnessed in the 1928 presidential election. This is one of the greatest tragedies of American government — that so many of our best men and worthiest leaders are buried under a deluge of false political filth so that they are thrown out of office before reaching the front gate. No wonder some of them can never he induced to enter public life where they justly belong. As a result, most office-holders are mediocre individuals unqualified to lead a democracy. A present-day illustration of a dislike which has been fostered in one-track minds is that of Prohibition. Practically all of our violent drys revel in their glorious righteous¬ ness, their saving graces and saving ways, while the object of their appeal, the working¬ man, does not want to be saved. He is usually moist by character and soaking by preference, and most naturally resents infringement upon his individual liberty. These teetotalers of ours, who sprang the Eighteenth Amendment for the purely selfish gratifica¬ tion of their own tastes are extraordinarily good examples of intolerance in its worst form which originated in a personal antipathy. Another horrible instance of religious and racial bigotry and prejudice which originated from personal dislikes was that wave of madness instituted by self-appointed Vigilantes and known as the Klu Klux Klan. K. K. K. meant fear and dread to thousands of unoffending negroes, Jews, and Catholics. These modern savages with white hoods and flaming crosses inflicted the worst kind of barbaric torture and anguish because of a myth which always needs exploding at recurrent intervals. This myth is that of racial superiority and the belief that a certain type of people possess the most admirable characteristics and should therefore dominate their neighbors. All the hates of thousands of years, the passions of a perverted group of insane extremists, and the personal distrust of alien religion and skin coloration, were turned loose with unabated fury upon innocent victims. The American people should fight all retrogressions to the barbaric influence which K. K. K. represented. Such an organization is an open challenge to civilization and man’s mentality, casting a dark shadow on all advancement or progress. Germany, today, by punishing the monstrous crime of having been born a Jew, has definitely reverted to the customs of the Middle Ages. And all of this persecu¬ tion can be traced to personal grudges and pet hatreds which were fed by envy and blind prejudice until they developed into overbearing passions. The results are history. Our pet grudges are a queer but nevertheless ingrained portion of our characters and lives. We rarely rid ourselves of them, and then usually with unwillingness, and cherish them as personal treasures. They may be harmless or do infinite harm, but we suffer patiently and endure unlimited privations for them. For our dislikes, hates, and grudges, we would gladly sacrifice all else — lest civilization dare surpass humanity. Eugene H. Kone, Orator.

You, our parents and friends, are also moved with happy emotion at the expectation of seeing your beloved ones receive a diploma symbolic of an important step in educational progress. Without doubt this is an occasion to be treasured warmly in memory by both you and us. Yet, since the wise man, you know, always anticipates, this is a most fitting occasion for viewing the future and for logically considering just what lies beyond graduation, and how we can successfully encounter it. Graduation is a stepping stone, either with or without further educational training, into the rough world of industry, finance, politics, science, and art. Though at school we have faced problems, in this world we are soon to enter there are problems desperate¬ ly in need of solution which are a hundredfold more dilBcult than the most puzzling algebraic examples or geometric propositions. These problems deal not with x’s and y’s, nor with parallelograms and trapezoids; they are concerned with life and death, happiness and sorrow — with the very heart and soul of mankind. There are five major problems that stare us squarely and inescapably in the eye as we glance ahead. Each and every one of them is a vile stain on the shield of any civilized land. They are war, depression, crime, corrupt politics, and crooked business. Truly they form a despicable and repugnant array as we line them up side by side. War, the demoniacal force that mercilessly slaughters the best blood of humanity, that brings impoverishment and defeat to both victor and vant]uished and inevitably sows the wind that will yield another whirlwind of terror — war that is insane, sense¬ less, and horrible — that is our most formidable problem. The World War definitely proved the utter futility of armaments as a means of settling any issue or controversy. Yet today the nations of the world are in the same state of ferment and agitation that existed in 1913. War, as many prominent thinkers see it, is just around the corner and not that remote, fanciful corner behind which prosperity lurks. Shall we murder again under the old cloak of patriotism? That is the stirring challenge which we must meet forcefully and resolutely. It might here be well to consider that depression, our next great problem, would probably not exist if it were not for war, and that the danger of war itself would be considerably lessened if it were not for depression. For as a historian recently pointed out, economic evils cause wars, and they in turn cause further economic evils. Thus the vicious circle of depression and strife revolve. Perhaps depression is an indirect cause of warfare; but forty million unemployed wandering aimlessly throughout the streets of the world, ill- clothed and ill-fed, low in spirits, bitter toward society, with their family life destroyed, and their children deprived of proper upbringing — that is the direct result of depres¬ sion. 1 dare say that many graduating this evening will not be allowed to continue with their education because of the economic upheaval. This depression situation offers an¬ other stirring challenge to us of the present generation. It is a problem worthy of our best efforts to solve. [ 98 ] Nulla Vestigia Retrorsum SILHOUETTES As war is to depression, so depression is to crime, the third of our problems. When there is no bread to eat, there is very little conscience to worry about. Hut when the prisons are filled with those who are criminals by necessity, mental deficiency, or other causes, and when crime is foolishly idealized so as to make it attractive for luring others to a life of vice, that is something for society to worry about and remedy. When along with this type of crime, men in high public offices violate their trust, sell their honor, their respect, and responsibility for glittering gold, when they maliciously disregard the interests of their supporters for selfish, personal gain, that offers a fourth problem. And indeed this is perhaps one of our most vital ones, for corrupt and ineffi¬ cient governmental control is the source of much national and international evil. The challenge for us is to make that government “of the people and by the people,” a true institution “for the people.” The fifth problem is one which has been startlingly revealed of late. It is con¬ cerned with the dishonesty of business. Prominent financial magnates swindle their trusting buyers and steal outright their life’s earnings; they cause the market to fluctuate like a pendulum, raising and lowering prices to meet their own convenience, giving the small business owner little opportunity for a fair and honest livelihood. Big hankers run off with millions of hard-earned dollars, leaving behind poverty-stricken families. All this is something to think about seriously. It is our challenge. How can we meet these five challenges? We can accept the philosophy of that old sage Omar Khayam, “Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend. Before we, too, into the Dust descend”; we can accept an adulterated Epicurean philosophy which strives for personal pleasure at any cost, saying, “Each man is such an inconsequential, such an infinitesimally minute creature in this stupendous universe that our individual efforts will not be missed.” We can shut our eyes to the faults in our civilization, seeing only what we want to see, saying wearily, “What’s the use, human nature can not change; Adam sinned and man will continue to sin until Doomsday.” Those attitudes, however, will not, cannot solve any problems. Plato showed the only true way out when he said, “A state is what it is because its people are what they are.” Everything depends on the individual; man is not a finality, but a possibility. Each person, as long as he lives, is an important cog in the machinery of existence and should conduct himself accordingly. As long as people shirk their responsibility, refuse to participate, refuse to live a life for the good of the whole, there will be no solutions. It will be only by individual development and generous co-operation that a state will achieve a good standing. For a state is what the people make it. Let us hope that we, the people of the future, may lead lives that will go toward the making of a better state and a better world. The four years of study and training at Weaver High, now brought to a close by this graduation ceremony, have given us a valuable foundation upon which to build for the attainment of that ideal. To you who have assembled here to help us observe this ceremony, I extend the sincere and hearty welcome of the class of 1933B. Irving Waltman. [ 99 ] Nulla Vestigia R e t r o r s u m SILHOUETTES VALEDICTORY Most of us will receive as true the statement that the United States is composed of hard-working, industrious individuals, who strive for higher ideals and better stations in life. Granted that we are people of such commendable characteristics and aspirations, there remains yet one goal which we have not attempted to reach. In our onrush toward bigger and better things, we have followed the old saying that business comes before pleasure, and have gone about our work, utterly unmindful of the fact that one of the greatest aims in life is happiness. The realization will soon come, however, that, without being happy, our achievements count as nothing; for it is happiness, not fame, wealth, or knowledge, which makes our lives worth living. It is only when we are happy, that we can derive genuine pleasure from our accomplishments. At present, there is an active power which has given us just cause for not being happy. Many of us, due to that great demon. Depression, have undergone reverses in fortune, and have become very much dejected and discouraged. But we have found that neither our happiness nor our prosperity has been restored, nor can either ever be restored, just by mourning our loss of them. If it has been of no avail to abandon all hope for good times in the future, and to pass the days with sullen, gloomy faces, why do we not try, instead, to be merry and joyful? We should have learned, by now, to regard being happy as our greatest duty, if we are to face this economic crisis and to emerge, when it is finally ended, smiling and victorious. From observation of the results produced by material achievements, the opinion is likely to be gathered that most of us are made perfectly happy by worldly success alone. But this is not happiness. Happiness is contentment; it is a feeling that comes from complete satisfaction with one’s state of existence. There is that happiness which springs from gratification of the senses or spirit, from kindness, unselfishness, and love for other people. In all these cases, it is not material growth which produces glad individuals; it is a feeling which refreshes mind, morals, and spirit. In our out-of-doors are myriads of creatures and things which can add to our physical well-being. Happy is he who knows the joy that comes from hearing the soft warblings of a grosbeak, from smelling the fragrant clover, from seeing the blue and radiant heavens. Nothing in this great universe of ours can help us forget our worries as much as the great healer—Nature. Or, if it is gratification of the soul that we desire, music and books can draw us away from the harsh realities in life, and can give us that exalted feeling which comes from the happiness in being happy. It should not be difficult for any of us to acquire contentment from all of these things which are within the grasp of each and every one of us. Our own pleasure in being alive will make us desire to bring happiness into other people’s lives. We will first want to benefit our own immediate circle and then others in general. With this step, many practical reforms may result. Mothers and fathers will study their children more carefully, and will bring them up in more normal and happy environments. Their wish that other children should have equally happy childhoods may help toward the abolition of child labor. Also, when men and women reap the I 100 I Nulla Vestigia Retrorsum SILHOUETTES benefits that come from honest living and happy thinking, they will want to share with others the beauty and enjoyment of the life they live; hence, they will become aware of the indifference, cruelty, and injustice that pursue vast numbers of social un¬ fortunates through their lives and that send hundreds of them to prisons and asylums. It will be thus with all of our great political and economic problems of today. As soon as we learn and teach the value of the happiness which comes from pure and joyful living, our nation will be formed anew. Robert Louis Stevenson, in one of his essays, expresses the fact that a happy person is a “radiating focus of goodwill.” This is a statement with the highest degree of truth. Those who possess a bright, cheery smile do inestimable good for themselves and for those with whom they come in contact. In their presence, our burdens are lightened, our doubts and fears vanish; we continue our work with renewed vigor, in spite of the many troubles that overwhelm us. It is the happy person whom we seek for our friend, not he who spends his time muttering and sulking; for we know the numerous benefits which are bestowed by a carefree, laughing, happy individual, and the joy that comes from association with him. In our pursuit of happiness, let us all remember Henry Van Dyke’s story about the handful of clay. Day by day lay this little particle of earth, insignificant and un¬ observed, grieving because it could not be of use to the world. One day, however, it was discovered, and finally it gained supreme happiness, because it was used in the construction of the flower pot for the royal lillies. To us, this end seems of small value and of no occasion for great glee; but, as we ourselves execute our daily tasks, we shall find, like the handful of clay, that the little, unexpected things in life are the ones which give us our greatest joy. Let us, then, renounce our eager, yet trivial desires for mate¬ rial gain and do our share in the world just by finding in the everyday things a more profitable desire — happiness. Mr. Holden: It must make you very happy to know that through your wonderful leadership we have learned the value of honest effort and perseverance. These priceless qualities will, undoubtedly, serve to make easier and more profitable the walks of life which we are about to pursue. Because you pointed out to us their great importance, it is with deep regret that I say farewell. Our Faculty: Through your cheerful and untiring efforts, you have lightened the problems and tasks with which we were beset. You have taught us higher standards of living. You have been not only our teachers, but also our kind and understanding friends, helping us in our difficulties, and encouraging us further in our success. It is with heart-felt reluctance, therefore, that I bid you farewell. My Classmates: Four short but impressive years have come and gone. During that time, we have gained knowledge and friendships. From some, these years required little effort; to others they meant steady toil. In either case they were undeniably happy, and now we taste the satisfaction of a finished work. As we enter all walks of life and take our own places in the world, we shall, more or less, be removed from one another. But, we shall be reminded, when we must think for ourselves and solve our own problems, of the cherished memory of Weaver High, where we were trained to make decisions and to overcome difficulties. With this in mind, then, and with best wishes for future happiness, I say farewell. Augusta V. Katz.

[ 104 ] Nulla Vestigia Retrorsum SILHOUETTES INCITED BY THE HAEEIBURTON-EIKE SENTIMENTALITY OF CERTAIN CLASSMATES Somehow, I’ve always had a feeling akin to awe for the nut. I suppose this senti¬ ment for the thing grew on me through the years, but I think it first got its start when I was in the grade schools. Being a youngster, I had few sensibilities. In fact, I confess I was quite ruthless toward nuts. Once, I remember, one of my teachers found me cracking the fruits, flat side up! Most pedagogues would have sharply repri¬ manded me, but not old Proctor Egbert. “Young man,” he said, “I fear your education has been sadly neglected.” Then he showed me how to place the nut on edge and gently, but firmly apply pressure. After that, when Egbert would come to school slightly tipsy from having tried to drown in rum the memory of a nut-hating world, I never would join the chorus of pupils yelling, “Egbert’s fried today! Fried Egbert!” This attachment to the nut grew on me until I heeded the advice of Horace Greeley to “Go nuts, young man,” (or was it “West”) to the land of the laughing Sun God I travelled. O Springtime in Hawaii! Eternal Youth gushes from your fount, and makes the earth glad. A night there is like a dream. Tall, slender palms, courted by a soft, warm breeze, dip their pretty heads in slow curtsies at the yellow, mellon moon. The lilting notes of a guitar linger melodiously on the exhilarating air, while brown-skinned natives, simple children of nature that they are,, moo love songs into the coy ears of their dusky sweethearts. Only one thing is needed to complete the picture of Romance, incense, But wait! What is that sweet, heady aroma that sets my blood to dancing? Wafted on a pure sea breeze, it floats enticingly to my nostrils. I must thread my way through the creeping vines down toward the smooth Pacific to locate the source of the perfume. As I come to the shore, the light of the heavenly bodies casts a shimmering, silvery web over the bosom of the sapphire sea. The hot blood of Youth courses madly through my arteries, veins and capillaries, and with it a tide of resentment against the prosaic cus¬ toms of this methodical world. I feel the will to cast off conventionalities-— also my clothes •— and swim to the fountain-head of the placid waters. Perhaps I might then find the flask whence issued the tantalizing odors. Then, too, a plunge into the Pacific was nothing to sneeze at, not even for a habitual sneezer who had plunged under the walls of the Castle of Chillon, and into the river at Luxor, and across the Hellespont, not to breathe a word about that horrid Coney Island. Besides, the climate at Waikiki is not so good for sneezing, I strike out toward the east. But the mysterious smell — I mean aroma — evades me. As I race merrily, merrily back to shore with a phosphorescent wake bubbling at my heels, my eyes are attracted by the stately palms. Now as I stride out of the water, the aroma increases in intensity. Perhaps — yes, it is the palms! ! At last, I have located the treasure! ! But what is that under the trees? Ah, my little nut-brown maiden, never shall I forget your betel-toothed smile as I kissed you. What did it matter that we had never met before? We were the spirit of Ebullient Youth personified. There, under the waving palms we sealed our troth with the fragrant milk of the cocoanut. What if the nuts hadn’t been there with their seductive odor? (What if I had had a cold?) I shudder to think of the dire consequences. A nut led me to you, dear heart; so let a nut in its round perfection become a symbol of our love.

The Board of Education unanimously approved the discarding of these headache-makers last week, and a school holiday was declared to celebrate this new freedom. Cicero was maligned as the cause for dropping Latin and the clutter of details in Ancient History was like¬ wise responsible. The subjects have been put on record as outworn, ante¬ dated, and useless for a full education. Let us hope that many similar sub¬ jects will go into the same waste basket of impracticability. SCOOTER CLUB HAS RACE AROUND SCHOOL Weaver Boys Club Exchanges Hobbies With Girls League ALL GIRLS LABELLED AS HOBBIES —From our Chief Snooper The Weaver Boys’ Club held a most unusual and popular meeting recently without the aid or jurisdiction of any faculty members. The Boys’ Club has been trying out a new hobby idea, and the Girls’ League was only too willing to co-operate. Each girl was labelled as a hobby such as Miss “Tel¬ evision,” Miss “Stay-at-Home,” Miss “I’m Not Hungry Anyhow,” or Miss “Night Homework,” and each boy had to choose his hobby. After selections had been made, each boy was supposed to learn as many of his Hobby’s traits as was deemed proper by the hobby itself (or herself), and had to make a report at his next meeting. The boys proved most capable and the girls were like¬ ly subjects for this humanistic study. The Weaver Scooter Club was up with afternoon tea and held a jolly race around the environs of the school yesterday with all the merry students participating. It was a bally old event and several of the boys and girls were in extremely good form what with the fresh air, sunlight, and Vitamins A to Z. Oscar Aloysius Ihwing placed first with Susan Jungles a close second and Archibald Uprising a tardy third. Bright red gym suits were the prevalent cos¬ tumes; the scooters were royal blue. Do you think It’s going to Rain? LAST PILE OF DEMERIT SLIPS DESTROYED A neat bonfire of the last remain¬ ing demerit slips was made in the Weaver cemetery yesterday with all teachers present in deep mourning. Most of the demerits were destroyed previously, but these were the last vestige of lost authority. Times have changed since the days when Weaver students were buried under an ava¬ lanche of rules and regulations. Those were the good old days when fresh¬ men played baseball and Keney Park was a haven for lost study hall souls. Students Were Eating Milk and Zwieback JANITOR SUSPECTED OF VILE THEFT A cherubic freshman came pumping madly on his kiddy-kar yesterday af¬ ternoon to report that his carriage had been stolen from the freshmen parking space! He had left his con¬ veyance securely locked and could not account for the theft, while the entire afternoon lunch period gasped over their milk and zwieback upon hearing this ghastly news. The scandal spread like wildfire and soon all the frosh were examining their carriages to see if the teething rings were safe. For¬ tunately, none of the rings had been abducted. Several janitors were seen in the vicinity of the parking area and a man known as Jasper, Jr., is under direct suspicion. Who could have thought it would come to this ? Even the carriages of mere babes are no longer safe and their teething rings are in danger! BOYS PROVE POOR HOME ECONOMIC STUDENTS Since Home Economics has been made compulsory for all Weaver boys, a great deal of breakage in dishes and glassware has been noted, and strange odors have been coming from the cooking room. All dish-washing and wiping is automatic, and it has be¬ come a common sight to see boys in lacy aprons and dainty caps pushing the rug-beating and dish-wiping but¬ tons at the same time. It will take many generations to curb the clumsi¬ ness of the male. Careful, boys! SILHOUETTES LLTTLRMLN John F. Conway Louis P. DiCorcia John Dohrowolsky Wesley W. Fenn Edward E. Garhcr Martin G.
