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.

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.

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.
