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 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

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
