“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”.

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.

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.
