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.

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.

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.
