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

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

ISABELLE RHODA FRIED JACOB FRUCHTMAN Northeast School; Girls’ League, Play Committee; “Lookout” Editorial Board; French Club, Treasurer; Indeclub; Honor Society; Class Book Typist; Testa¬ trix. Isabelle is one of the most charming little girls in our class, and is quite popular with the students of both sexes. Her dark hair, mischievous eyes, and her winning smile were frequently seen in the Weaver halls, and her vivid per¬ sonality was apparent at first glance. In addition to these alluring qualities, Isabelle achieved an enviable record in her studies. She is one of those pupils who is always called on in an emer¬ gency, and is one of the delights of the teachers. Another proof of her popu¬ larity is the fact that she was Testatrix of our class, and she ably demonstrated her ability, giving a very creditable performance. Northwest School; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Honor Society; Junior Usher. “Jake” is among the most conscien¬ tious fellows in the class. Although he works after school, and in this way spends most of his time, he has man¬ aged and probably always will manage, if he continues his education, to be a great student. Good marks, however, have not spoiled his disposition, and he is always willing to help a fellow student in distress, either in the way of a paper to copy from, or by some bit of helpful information. “Jake” has made many friends by his jolly good humor and friendliness, and we are sure that his interest in his fellow companions will win him a place in the world.
