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.

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.

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
