The Portal of 1934A. JtnrmnrJi E present “THE PORTAL” —a record of your activities in school and friends you once knew. We chose “THE PORTAL” for the title of our book, because through the portals of Weaver you have come and will go, while through these pages your activities and ac¬ complishments are related. We have drifted somewhat from the general routine in creating a class book, and several changes have been made in content. We present them for your approval. “THE PORTAL” is your book. We, “your humble servants,” the “board,” hope you will like it. L. S. P. n.fnglo- L ' 2 ' fi rt. ' X £j ' .aM ' yCy y , y .

ALPERSON “Esther” When good nature rules one’s character, it is difficult to do as one pleases. Estelle has been trying to please others by attending school, with little satisfaction to herself. With her cheery disposition and constant good nature, she is sure to make friends wherever she goes. Northeast School. A. A.; Girls’ League, Publicity Committee; Ingleside Club; Senior Choir, Accompanist; Glee Club, Assistant Librarian; A Capella Choir; Senior Orchestra; Girls’ Baseball Team. Teacher: Culver-Smith Train¬ ing School. ALICE L BAILEY “Al” “Al ' s” charming manner has made her popular not only with her class¬ mates but also with the members of the faculty. Though her main interest lies in New Hampshire, nevertheless, she manages to get around and enjoy herself here in Hartford. Northwest School. A. A.; Girls’ League; Chemistry Club, Program Com¬ mittee; Archery; Color Committee. Never tardy. EDWIN BALLENGER “Ed” “Ed,” a tall and handsome chap, is a very busy boy. If our class book costs too much, don’t blame i t on him, for he did his best. Ed is an able member of our football team. Here’s luck, Ed. Northwest School. A.

Insurance or Advertising. SIDNEY M. BARON “Mose” “Mose” is a c]uiet chap, but an interesting one. Be not surprised if you should hear about his reciting our chemistry text book by memory. Never mind, “Sid,” some of our teachers can’t be credited with such a feat. Northwest School. Track Squad; Athletic Association; Chemistry Club; Boys’ Club; Member of Reception Committee; Motto Committee. Never tardy. Rensselaer. Civil or Chemical Engineer. [ 11 ] |aie.AYeiR. PORJEfttfl DOROTHY R. BARTON “Dot” “Dot” is one of our more reserved girls, staying somewhat aloof from the rest of us. Perhaps a tall, dark, and good-looking boy friend is the rea¬ son. Can you confirm our doubts, “Dot”? Noah Webster School. A. A.; Girls’ League; Girls’ Leaders Corp; Arts Craft Club, Secretary; Inde Club; Basketball; Tennis; Ribbon Committee. Bay Path Secretarial School. Stenographer. LAWRENCE S. BEIZER “Larry” Larry is one of our strong silent men with the grip of iron, probably due to frequent wrestling with his big Mack truck. Quiet and reserved, he has a pleasing personality if you know him. Mathematics is his “meat,” but through hard work, he gets his other studies, too. Holcomb Street School. Boys’ Club; Athletic Association; Honor Society; Chemistry Club; Class Historian; Junior Usher. No demerits. Trinity. Chemical Engineer. BERNARD G. BORDEN “Nard” “Nard” makes up in brains what he lacks in stature, being one of the smartest men in the class. He is a very clever fellow, cute, and has a good sense of humor; but there was certainly some of “le homme hardi” in his make-up, as witnessed by his stormy outbursts in class. Northwest School. Chemistry Club; Treasurer and President of French Club; Athletic Club; Honor Society; Chairman of Reception Committee; Junior Usher. Never tardy. Trinity. Lawyer. ELEANOR BREITMAN “El” “El” must be cjuite busy over the week-ends, for Monday morning finds her doing homework in her session room. Nevertheless, she always has time for a pleasant chat with her friends. Northwest School. A. A.; Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club; Baseball. Stenographer. [ 12 ] lsie,AYe«. POR. Eft ROBERT T. CAHILL “Bob” Quiet and reserved, “Bob” has always done his work diligently and thor¬ oughly. His friends who really know him, will always think of him with the highest esteem. Holcomb Street School. Interclass Soccer; Varsity Track Team; Boys’ Club; Athletic Association. Never tardy. VIOLA E. CAHILL “Vi” This maiden is always very serious. Her quiet, peaceful voice, as it resounds in the Latin room, brings forth exclamations of envy; for usually she knows her Latin. Always kind and thoughtful, she is ready to aid anyone who needs her help. Holcomb Street School. A. A.; Girls’ League; Chemistry Club; Girls’ Archery Team; Girls’ Basketball Team; Ribbon Committee. Never tardy; never demerited. ANTHONY J. CAMBRIA Anthony is that charming lad with the “come hither” look in his eyes. His interest in art leads us to believe that he admires beauty in all forms. That ' s just an assumption, however. Northwest School. A. A.; Boys’ Club; Honor Society; Inde Club, Vice- President and Treasurer; Testator; Interclass Soccer. JULIUS CARABILLO “Juke” Julius is a clever chap with many abilities. He is outstanding in com¬ mercial work and may some day turn out to be a lawyer. From authentic sources, we hear that Julius anticipates becoming a crooner. Here’s hoping. Julius. Northeast School. A.

[ 13 ] Od.fl.AvaiR.t PORiEfth ROBERT CHERLIN “Bob” A dyed-in-the-vvool conservative, a conscientious objector to change in the existing order of things. Quiet but determined, Bob represents the ex¬ treme right in the Portal Board meetings. Alfred E. Burr School. A. A.; Boys’ Club; Glee Club; Choir; Commer¬ cial Club; Soccer Team; Class Book Editorial Board. Connecticut State. SIDNEY P. COHEN “Sid” “Sill,” your smile and cheerful countenance will always remain with us. That airy walk and pleasant appearance will be a fond remembrance. We are positive that you will be a great success as a druggist. Northeast School. Boys’ Club; Glee Club; Choir; Athletic Association; Former Member of “Lookout” Circulation Board. Never tardy. Connecticut College of Pharmacy. Druggist. HELEN J. CULLEN “Skippy” “Skippy” is the little girl whose eyes seem to roll mischievously around and say, “Why don’t you come up to see me some time?” The only time that she is serious is when she is thinking of someone “dark and hand¬ some!” St. Bernard’s Parochial School, Rockville, Conn. A. A.; Girls’ League; Art Crafts Club. Never tardy. Office work. SHIRLEY V. CUNNINGHAM “Cunnie” Shirley draws pictures but no flies. Consider the art work in this “Portal,” and then you needn’t ask us why Shirley won an art scholarship; consider Shirley herself, and observe that “the best art is that which con¬ ceals art.’ Northwest School. Girls’ League; A. A.; President of Art Crafts Club; Inde Club; Museum Club; Former Member of Editorial Staff of “Lookout.” Commercial Artist. [ H ] Is ' |«te,AveRljjj (b|( jRPORiEAhl MORRIS CUTLER “Cutlets” “Cutlets” Cutler was always a joy to the more “rambunctious” students in 240. His entry usually stirred up a loud cry of greeting. “Cutlets” always unrlcrstood all the latest steps and the newest styles in tires. Holcomb Street School. A. A.; Boys’ Club; Track Team; Interclass Soccer. LAURA LEE DARDEN “Lee” Laura has not given many of us opportunity to get acquainted with her, although many of her friends know that she certainly can play jazz better than some of the much-advertised players. Yet we all know she is a con¬ scientious student who does her work faithfully; perhaps that is one of the reasons why we see so little of her. Northwest School. Girls’ League; Inde Club; A. A. Boston Conserva¬ tory of Music. Piano Teacher. ANTONIO DiLORENZO “Tony” Tony, in our colloquial language, is a “regular guy.” He is one of Weaver’s best sports. President of the class, president of the A. A., vice- president of the Honor Society — among other things, he has been success¬ ful in running for office. Virtue rewarded. Brown School. A. A., President; Honor Society, Vice-President; Chem¬ istry Club; German Club; Junior Usher; Baseball; Basketball; Football; President of Class; Ring Committee. ELEANOR A. DiPRATO “El” Eleanor is one of our most pleasant classmates, always neat, helpful, and cheerful. She is a loyal rooter at the football games, which leads us to wonder if it is the game or the “heroes” that attract her. Holcomb Street School. A. A.; Girls’ League; Ingleside; Girls’ Business Club; Inde Club; Class Book Business Board; Testatrix; Ring Committee; Nominating Committee for Officers. Private Secretary. [ 15 ] PORiPfthl m liiaii 1 RUTH M. DORENBAUM “Ruthie” Ruth is that neat girl with the solemn, though thoughtful, look in her eyes. Although never outstanding in class activities, we have often wondered what we would do if she were not here. We’d be absolutely Ruthless! Northwest School. Girls’ League; Music Committee; Ingleside Club. Bookkeeper. GEORGE DUBROW “Georgie” George is the sustained pedal-note of quiet industry in the Weaver symphony. He gets his pleasure with the violin and his exercise with the cymbals. Between times he ambushes the faculty for photographs. We have heard that he has time left over after that, but we won ' t discuss that now, please. Northwest School. A.

Never tardy. Lawyer or Druggist. LILLIAN DUNN “Lill” Incessantly occupied with thoughts reaching to New Britain of (.?), “Lill” has found little time to devote to us. The aloofness with which she goes her placid way in and out of class is but a cloak which hides our real “Lill.” Northeast School. Girls’ League; A. A.; C. H. L. S.; Senior Choir; A Capella Choir; Senior Glee Club; Senior Orchestra. William and Mary. Teacher. JACK FALLERMAN “Jake” “Jake” is one of the quiet fellows of whom we have so many. He is forever revolting on the subject of homework, probably because he works after school hours. Northeast School. Senior Choir. Never tardy. Connecticut State Col¬ lege. [ 16 ] laiflAven: PORJEfthI RUTH FARBER “Ruthie” Though one of the more quiet girls in class, Ruth manages to have fun in her hours of recreation. Her recitations in democracy and chemistry show that she spends at least a few hours on her homework — hence, ; double promotion. Northwest School. A. A.; Girls’ League; Chemistry; Girls’ Leaders Corp. Nurse. T. BRENDAN FARRELL “Reggie ’ “Reggie” is the gigolo of our class. What a “hoofer”! This great boy football star has often been seen “smearing” erstwhile secondary men of opjtosing teams on the green turf of Batterson Fielil, but has just as often been seen in a certain car with a certain millionairess. The class needs more of his cheerful humor. Northwest School. Chemistry Club; A. A.; Football Squad; Reception Committee; Tie Committee. SYLVIA E. FEINSTEIN “Syl” Sylvia, though quite diminutive, is an excellent dancer. With her, the fellow who likes to walk on other people’s feet hasn’t a chance. Sylvia’s present ambition is to grow about four inches. Northeast School. A. A.; Girls’ League; Choir; Girls’ Debating Squad; “Lookout,’ Typist. Stenographer. DANELLA R. FEITELBERCw “Dinny” “Dinny” is one of the quieter girls in the class, but there is no better companion than she; which goes far to give her a warm place in the hearts of her friends. Northeast School. Girls’ League; A. A.; Choir. Stenographer. [ 17 ] aiSAVeR POR.iRAIfl EVELYN H. FENNER “Ev” “Ev ' s” charming personality is the cause of her many admirers. Her chief interest, however, attends Trinity. Ev plans to be a private secretary, and it is quite evident that she will never have to warm a park bench. New Haven Commercial. Art Craft Club; Girls’ League; A. A.; Museum Club. Never tardy. Stenographer. SUSAN J. FERRIGNO “Sue” Who is that tall figure moving slowly through the corridor? Why, it is Susan “creeping like a snail” to her next class. “Sue” has spent long hours of the summer lying in the sun reading, and the result is the beautiful tan and envious eyes that follow her about. Northwest School. A. A., Vice-President; Ingleside, Vice-President; Girls’ Leaders Corp; Girls’ League; Prophetess; Basbetball Team; Soccer Team. MIRIAM D. FINKELSTEIN “Mim” “Mim,” as Miriam is called by most of her friends, is a girl whom any¬ one might call “Pal.” It you ever see a “redhead,” you may be sure that she is around.

JULEMARY FITZGIBRONS “Jule” Jule’s constant grin and silly giggle have caused much havoc in her classes. Although most of her time is spent in the Lenox, she has managed to make a double promotion.

HERMAN FRANKLIN “Frank” Herman is one of our most willing chemistry students. His ability to recite equations is almost miraculous. It is rumored that “Frank” is “Her Bodyguard.” How about it, Frank? Northwest School. A. A.; Chemistry Club. JEANNE RAE FRASER “Ray” A wee sleekit lass frae the hielands. Down the corridor she goes to the skirling of unseen pipes. A tartan and sporran and the illusion would be complete. Northwest School. A.

Stenographer. JOHN T. FRASER “Johnny” “Johnny” is one of our more reticent classmates. From all outward appearances he seems to be a very quiet type of masculinity, but as the old saying goes, “Still water runs deep.” Northwest School. Boys’ Club; Athletic Association. EDNA A. FREDERICKSON “Ed” “Ed,” one of our more quiet girls, is interested in athletics, where her ability to “do things” is given a chance. She is one of our real blondes, and is considered a perfect “good sport.” Northwest School. A.

HERBERT GLADSTEIN “Nag” “Nag” is the cleverest linguist in our class. Since he became a senior he started to enjoy himself and is now quite different from that youngster of lower class days. Although he has time for play, he mixes his work and enjoyment in the right proportions, and so is one of the smartest in our class. Northwest School. Boys’ Club; A.

From the damp cold of its early grave she raises the C. fl. L. S. Behold it alive and flourishing. She conjures “Portal” ma¬ terial out of thin air, in full view of the audience.

GOLDSTEIN “Nan” A list of Nan’s various activities sounds like an excerpt from the “Hand¬ book.” (She frankly admits that she has a good disposition, and who are to dispute a woman with convictions.?) The NR A hasn’t shortened her working week any; there seems to be no code for overworked school girls. Northeast School. Girls’ League, Publicity Committee, Music Commit¬ tee; Senior Choir; A.

GOODMAN “Frankie” Although one would not call “Frankie” a woman’s man, nevertheless, he has a decided taste for the ladies, whether hopping about on the dance floor or near the tennis courts. By the way, “Frankie,” what made your lip swell up so high the week following the summer vacation.? Was it a “lady-bug”.? Northwest School. Boys’ Club; Boys’ Commercial Club; A.

A cheerful and playful fellow, he is always puttering around airplanes and radios. His silliness and queer antics keep his class¬ mates in constant laughter. Here’s “happy landings” to you in your life work! Public School 102, New York, N. Y. A. A.; Member Tie Committee. .Aeronautical Engineer.

GRISWOLD “Ernie” “Ernie” has a grin with just enough deviltry in it to arouse his teacher ' s ire. The fact is that we recognize the grin first, “Ernie” afterwards.

LINA GROSS “Li” Lina’s ability to squeeze out of difficulties puzzles the rest of us. Her good-natured attitude toward life in general and her lovely school-girl com¬ plexion are the envy of the feminine classmates. We’ll always remember Lina as saying, “Well, it happened this way.” Northwest School. A.

Arsenal School. A. A.; Girls’ League; Senior Choir; Track Team. Never tardy. Worcester Memorial Hospital. Nurse. MARY A. HEDLY “Mae” Mary’s flaming red hair is the envy of many of her classmates. Her unusual hat creations have caused much comment, and her individual per¬ sonality makes her a most interesting and loyal friend. Holcomb Street School. Inde Club; Art Crafts; Ingleside. Bookkeeper. [ 23 ] KaflAveri. PRISCILLA HILLS “Pris” Although “Pris” is one of the smallest girls in the class, she is never in need of friends. Her chief interest in school centers in art, but a rising ) ' oung banker occupies much of her leisure time. Northwest School. Art Crafts Club; Girls’ League; A. A.; Senior Choir; Museum Club.

His sardonic smile always seems to make his listener feel somewhat inferior. Northwest School. Boys’ Club; A. A.; Chairman of Tie Committee. SYLVIA ESTELLE HURWITZ “Syb” Our expert stenographer! And how she can tickle those keys! Her wit is not well known to the class, because she took a double to graduate with us, but these who know “Syb” realize that she is a friendly sort.

Att|btir0 Since the early days of Weaver, its teams, though not consistent winners, have demonstrated their ability to take care of themselves in all high school sports. Within the life of our class at Weaver, our athletic teams have proven many times to be among the better teams of the state. A highlight in our history is the immemorable defeat of the FI. P. H. S. football team in 1931. This is the only victory ever recorded by a Weaver eleven over Hartford High. Several of our classmates have been outstanding in the major and minor sports. Boys who are prominent in Weaver athletics are Bennett Myers, Joe Luzzi and Tony DiLorenzo. Others who won their letters are Brendan Farrell, Alex Nowaset, Bill Walsh, Earl Hart and Edwin Ballenger. Members of the soccer team are Winkler, Cherlin and Phenix. Myers is the only three letter man, having starred in all the major sports. DiLorenzo is one of the better baseball players of the state, and will also be remembered for his stalwart work in basketball. Joe Luzzi will always remain in the annals of our football history, having played an excellent game in the line for two successive seasons. He was given recognition by being placed on the all-city coaches’ team for ’33. Playing a brilliant game in the Bulkeley contest, Joe received an injury which greatly reduced the team’s chances for victory. Much of the spirit shown by Weaver teams is due to Coach Fred Stone, who has always striven to produce teams of whom Weaver might be proud as gentlemen and athletes. 1 48 ] IsiftAYefi:: PORiCAhl OIlaBS Prngram Chairman ' s Address.

These years have been eventful in world history, and yet perhaps we students have let them slip unmind¬ fully by. Japan’s conquest of Manchuria meant little to us except that it proved interesting reading. The flight of the Italian air armada under General Balbo was to us just another accomplishment m aviation. We knew that the recent economic depression existed, because our parents told us so and because we read about it in newspapers. We didn’t have to worry about earning money and providing the necessities of a comfortable living. We have been carefree youngsters. We woke up at 8:10 and rushed to school with hair un¬ combed, ties hurriedly knotted, and traces of eggs on our features. We were shy in class rooms, but as soon as school was over we lost our timidity and became unmanageable young colts. Time has wrought many changes. By degrees we have become more serious and have found time to concentrate on more things than just studies and play. We have become vain of our appearance. And though we retain a little mischievousness from younger days, our actions and speech bear more dignity and austerity. We are now capable of higher understanding, and world events are now of vital interest to us. Bereft of our childishness and enriched by new knowledge and friends, we have reason to be confident as we step on the threshold of a world filled with more difficult undertakings. This evening we students of the Class of 1934A wish to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude to our parents, who by unselfish sacrifices have made possible our attending this high school; to our teachers, who with great diligence and patience have guided us in the accomplishment of our first major success; and to our friends, who have helped make these past years the most memorable ones of our young lives. And now, since this is to be a joyous occasion, let us sit back and enjoy a program which our talented classmates will present. The historians will reveal our pasts even if it costs us a blush. Our class song will be sung, and the essay and the oration will be delivered. Then our prophets will reveal our futures with uncanny accuracy. And with unbound generosity our testator and testatrix will bequeath the treasures which our class has so industriously amassed. Therefore, sit back and enjoy yourselves. You are the guests; we are the hosts and hostesses. And on behalf of the hosts and hostesses of the Class of 1934A, I extend to you a hearty welcome to our class night exercises. Anthoxy Di Lorenzo. [ 50 ] PORiEA U iEutla of lag (Eorngrtition No matter how many times you and I walk about the business section of Hartford today, whether aware or not, we are bound to see some signs or notices that read some¬ what like these: “Forced Into Bankruptcy”; “Clearance Sale”; “Selling Out”; “Forced To Vacate”; and so forth. Numerous windows of stores that are unoccupied are covered from top to bottom with theatre posters and other advertisements. In contrast to these quiet, unoccupied stores, there is a Woolworth, a Grant, a Kresge, a First National Store, an A. and P. and others, big places with double fronts painted red, blue or yellow, with gold-lettered signs, stores in which crowds of people are continually entering. I believe this gives a fairly good picture of our business streets today. I do not want to give the impression that there is any fault with the chain stores; they would not be here if you and I did not like to trade in them. What I am trying to bring out is the cause for all these vacant stores, and the unemployment of their individual owners •— namely, present day competition. Competition implies a struggle or contest between two or more persons for the same object. This rivalry, created by either jealous or monetary motives (chiefly the latter), is at the bottom of our depression. It is evident in the strivings which attend the round of everyday activities. One against another, bakers contend to provide wholesome bread; scholars, to surprise truth and make contributions to knowledge; undertakers, to give peaceful rest to the dead; salesmen, to break down resistances; and last but not least, reducing specialists, to produce a tablet which will bring about most effectively the re¬ duction of extra avoirdupois on diet-crazed females. Competition appears under every social order under which men have lived; in the conflicts of nations to increase their territories; of holy men, for the glory of saying the most prayers; of merchant adventurers, for the spoils of the East; and of capitalists to “bag” the largest profits and to establish the biggest and best foundations. There is even the case of the farmer, who, during a long-continued drought, invented a machine for watering his fields. The very first day while he was trying it, there came a sudden downpour of rain. He put away his machine and said, “It’s no use. You can’t do anything nowadays without having competition.” In every line of business, merchants are forced by the people to buy inferior merchandise. The very best stores in this country today are not carrying their customary line of high-grade merchandise simply because the buying public is seeking goods at a cheaper price. Do people realize that the store which sells its goods at a higher price is selling quality No, they do not. They do not see that the products of the higher- priced store excel those of the underselling establishment; they do not seem to realize that, in patronizing the cut-rate store, they are receiving only what they pay for, if not less. Then the organization with the better commodities is compelled to buy cheaper goods and reduce its prices to that of its competitors. Competition has also a great effect upon the chain store, the independent retailer, and the consumers themselves. Of these three groups, the chain unit is the only one benefited. Having established themselves near the small store, the chain store operators drive out the independent operator by underselling him and maintaining more efficient service — two features which can be readily offered by the chain store, on account of the large amount of capital by which the chain store is operated. Hence we see the steady growth of the chain store system at the expense of the small independent store. [ 51 ] laieAvenL., ■ _ i - i n .. .— 1 - rr CI-jM, - . Now, we shall see what effect the arrival of the competitive chain has upon the consumer — that means you and me. These organizations generally do not partonize the local wholesalers as the independent retailer is accustomed to do. They have their own headquarters in distant cities, and in time the local wholesalers are driven out of business. The money which is accumulated by these chains is not ordinarily spent in patronizing local establishments, but in building larger and better stores throughout the country. The fact that these chains do not invest their money in local banks has a great effect upon us. The banks which receive their money are in large cities where their headquarters are located. The small local banks cannot afford the loss of this money, and there is soon a run in the bank, causing all of us to suffer losses. Now we are trying, under the guiding hand of our president with the NRA, to find a method to rid of this unfair competition by a spirit of co-operation. What will be the outcome of the New Deal cannot be definitely answered. But, since unlimit ed competition is the cause of the lethargic condition existing in our country today, there is a great possibility that the NRA, forbidding unfair competition by its rigid codes which prevent underselling and sweatshop wages, will bring industry out of its dormant state into the light of sane and wholesome activity. In conclusion, let me assure you, my friends, that then and only then, will we find that obscure corner around which prosperity has been hiding. Herbert Gladstein, Orator. [ 52 ] laiflAYeR- POR. E A A ' j Olmt Ampriratt l umnr In America we have men who make their living by their success in making us laugh. Men who earn their living in this way are classed as writers of humorous short stories, joke-writers, humorous essayists, after dinner speakers, comedians of the stage, screen and radio, humorous verse writers, and comic strip artists. Speaking of the last, there is one who has become very well known only recently. You have probably guessed his name. He is the creator of Mickey Mouse, and the Three Little Pigs — Walter Disney. Even though Mickey has been on the screen for quite a time, the public was slow to acknowledge him. Naturally we would expect children to enjoy his antics, but not adults. Yet after six years, behold Mickey romping on the screen, much to the delight of adult Americans, — even those women who in their homes feel their hearts leave their accustomed places and go travelling when even so much as a long tail is seen whisking around the corner. The delight of the Americans upon witnessing the remarkable powers and intelligence of a familiar household pest proves that we have a love of incongruity. Another example of American humor is the fact that as soon as a funny phrase is used by a comedian over the radio or on the stage, the public is ready to adopt it. Joe Penner, a newcomer to the radio audience, introduced a new way of saying the very simple words, “Is that so.?” and “I didn’t know that.” This caused the American audience to repeat them so often, without any consideration for anyone, that we are ready to scream the next time we hear them. Jokes, in order to go over with Americans, always must be on some familiar subject. The characters are usually very common ones and the joke may not be original, but with a slight change of place and conversation they go into the market as new. We all know the jokes dealing with tramps, landladies, mothers-in-law, foreigners, hen-pecked husbands, and bright sayings of children. It is strange that the older the writer of children’s jokes is, the better the jokes. Many fond parents who think that their youngsters’ sayings are funny and send them in to editors, find that they are not so amusing to other people. Usually a joke written about children is received favorably when it brings out some childish point of view. Here is an example: A young clergyman during a parochial call noticed that the little daughter of the hostess was busy with her slate while eyeing him closely from time to time. After a time, the minister asked with a most engaging smile, “What are you doing, Clara.?” “I’m drawing a picture of you,” was the answer. The clergyman sat very still, trying to facilitate the work of the artist. Presently, however, Clara shook her head in discouragement. “I don’t like it much,” she confessed. “I guess I’ll put a tail on it, and call it a dog.” However, even if some Americans don’t read jokes or humorous stories, they get their laughs out of incidents in real life and on the stage that induce a feeling of superiority. When a person slips on an icy spot, falls through a chair, or runs his head into a lamp post, any spectator will laugh heartily without any intention to hurt the person’s [ 53 ] IStflAVef!. feelings. The spectator does not stop to realize, when he views any such accident, that just around the corner he may happen into precisely such an incident as he has just witnessed, and himself be the inspiration for laughter to some bystanders. Americans apparently can not live without laughter any more than without food, even when they laugh at themselves. Still we laugh because even though there is a saying that “tears are noble; laughter vulgar,” I am sure that everyone would prefer not to cry. Some people may think that our humor is lower than it was formerly. You can see from the various examples which show the outlets of our humor, that not many of us have found the true intended humor of the men who make it. Even the very worst specimens of jokes have a good market because the public demands them. Why doesn’t the public realize that it is its own fault? If laughter is vulgar, we can at least attempt to read the very best humor that is produced, and in that way not only acquaint ourselves sufficiently well with it to upset the theory that we have a bad sense of humor, but to improve our tastes. I leave it to your good judgment to decide the matter for yourselves. Evelyn Gross, Essayist.

Tonight we are bidding our teachers and school a formal fare¬ well. Many have been the trials and joys we have experienced here with our teachers pointing out the powerful path of learning. Ardently as they may desire it, neither our parents nor our teachers can “give” us our education. It is a golden treasure we must acquire for ourselves, and we all know that the task is long and difficult, but the reward is worth the effort! Recently I read a statement which expresses this point very vividly: “Successful study opens wide the gate to power, usefulness, wealth, and fame.” Many of us who are to receive our diplomas tonight are leaving with intentions of entering a higher institution of learning. Others of us expect to enter the fierce com¬ petitive struggle of business life. The rest of us have not yet determined what we intend to do. Regardless of what our plans may be, we must continue our education either in Hartford or elsewhere, because on our success in this great and complex undertaking depends the future of American civilization. “Whatever our job may be,” as Henry Louis Smith says, “whether raising crops, selling goods, building houses, or healing sick folks, the secret of success is to know how.” Ignorance of your job results in loss of confidence, inefficiency, unemployment, lack of happiness, and failure; whereas knowledge of your job leads to power, wisdom, security, happiness, and success! It is the general belief that high school education is essential to the youth of this modern generation. True — but it is a mistake to think that this learning finishes our education. High schools are only able to prepare us to think intelligently and reason clearly that we may not “be blown about by every wind of fashionable doctrine” as Edmund Burke, the great English orator and statesman says. High schools are only capable of giving us the fundamentals of any subject. Nevertheless, one cannot be urged too strongly to attempt to discover what he wishes to do for a living, so that he may take advantage of the various subjects offered for his particular field of work. In addition to this, of course, the high school strives to bring out in all students self-realization and self-expression, characteristics which are, in my opinion, necessary factors in a person’s development. In every school there are three types of student. The first group comprises, for the most part, those who are compelled to go to school; these pupils usually belong to the class of failures, for any one who is not interested in educating himself cannot be a success. The second class consists of those who have nothing to do, and therefore spend a few hours of each day in high school; these are the students who receive average grades. The third and last group are those who are preparing for college, or have some other definite objective in life; this last class consists of the so-called “pluggers” and also the naturally brilliant pupils. Since the first group are here against their will, they derive very little advantage from their schooling. They may have a hazy knowledge that William Shakespeare was an English writer of the Elizabethan period, and that the square root of one hundred and [ 57 ] | aeAveR PORJEftlfl forty-four is twelve. However, they never have enough information on any subject to warrant their offering personal opinions and conclusions upon them. The second group usually find school a means of wasting their time, since they have nothing else particularly interesting with which to occupy their minds. These students give the school officials a great deal of trouble, and cause their parents un¬ necessary anxiety. The third group are the ones who are outstanding in the class for their scholarship, leadership, and zeal, inasmuch as they are greatly interested in school and wish to get as much out of it as possible. These are the ones who do their lessons faithfully each night and who never retard a class by their inadequate preparation of homework. We call these zealous students the “go-getters.” They will never pass up the big opportunities of life, because as students, they are fully aware of the real values in life, and seize every chance for advancement that comes their way. Furthermore, they are so resourceful, that they even create opportunity itself! I leave you, fellow-classmates, to reflect upon my humble observations: lift your¬ selves to higher planes; establish new records; set new goals; quicken your life with new purposes and ideals. If you do this over an extended period of time, your efforts will be converted into habits that will later become your friendly allies, ready at all times to serve your intellectual and spiritual needs. To you, parents, relatives, and friends, I extend a hearty welcome on behalf of the class of 1934A, and sincerely hope that you will enjoy the program about to be presented to you this evening. Ida Siegal. [ 58 I Balp irtnrg AbbrpHH i urrp00 What more glamourous epithet does the English language possess than the magic term “Success?” The alluring promises contained in this charming little word have been the cause for which men have perpetrated awful crimes, the prize for which they have bartered both peace of mind and body, and the idol to which they have consecrated their hearts and souls; for the sharp urge to “be somebody” is the ruling factor in most men’s lives. Glorified “pep talks,” which comprise a large part of what is known as success literature, are often sadly misleading. Your wildest dreams may be realized by sending for the all-revealing booklets of the great Doctor So-and-So, whereby you may learn all the vital secrets of successful existence in twelve easy lessons. The simple fact that a man’s success is measured by the degree of happiness to which he has attained is completely overlooked. The foremost step in reaching one’s goal is the age-old maxim of Socrates, the wise Greek philosopher, “Know thyself.” Yet how few of us can truthfully say that we obey that brief dictum! Each has an inner self, set apart and carefully guarded from the prying eyes of our fellow men. Most of us, however, are utter strangers to ourselves, never quite grasping the solution to the enigma of our existence. Only in rare and critical instances do we realize the extent of our capabilities. You and you and you possess treasures of incalculable wealth, tucked deep down in your hidden resources. Unfortunately, only a small percentage of this secret gold will ever enrich its owners, since we ourselves do not recognize its presence. We fail to develop our potentialities. Then again, many are too cowardly to accept the challenge of the new and untried. Fear, nameless, horrible, and inescapable, follows our footsteps with deadly persistence. It is this dread monster which robs us of our precious, transient youth and saps the strength which we are granted for all too brief a time. Even the most outstanding failures confess that at some time a promising opportunity was placed before them by a beckoning fate. At the crucial moment they lacked the courage to grasp the prize, to plunge gaily and risk all, to make of life the glorious and romantic adventure that it really is. What is success? It is a lamentable fact that one of the most prevalent ideas of today is that success is synonymous with a bulky bank roll. The idolatrous worship of the great god Money is particularly noticeable in Americans. By this I do not mean to minimize the value of that glittering commodity: few intelligent people do. What is to be deplored is the manner in which the average man pursues his business, with a most jealous and unceasing devotion and absorption. It becomes the embodiment of all his hopes and dreams and desires. Strangely enough, he usually considers it worth the price of his toil. He sees nothing queer in a mode of living which wastes valuable moments in a futile, never-ending quest, and disregards the boundless enjoyment to be found in cultivating his mind and ideals during leisure time. “An idealistic schoolgirl’s theory,” you may think tolerantly. Perhaps you are right. However, if you study carefully, a number of typical individuals who have amassed great material possessions, you will 1 59 ] |aie,AYer!.T PORiCfthl find that very few have acquired a proportionate surplus of contentment. The goal so blindly sought is the happiness which can he found only in each individual’s attitude. A man’s true success depends not upon his wealth, advantages, and accomplishments, but solely upon the state of his mind. Mr. Holden and members of the faculty: I have always disliked saying good-bye — just one short word, but it has so much meaning. It is especially difficult to say to you who, as sincere friends and counselors, have created and shaped our ideas throughout all our high school days. You have stimulated us to struggle not only for success in great and small tasks, but also for that kind of success which is consistent with fine ideals and lofty ambitions. And we can say only an inadequate “Thank you.’’ The class: We cannot help but regret bidding farewell to one another. For four happy years we have shared our work and play, and now we must leave to enter upon widely-diversi¬ fied careers. But the sadness of parting is overshadowed by our high hopes for a radiant success and a glorious future. May our light hearts, firm footsteps, and sincere purposes bring us the finest things that life has to offer. Dorothy Schack. [ 60 1 laiflAYer!.

Just glimpse at some of its patented features. This c ar is equipped with two headlights (Dorothy Schack, Ida Siegal) and a spot light (Antonio DiLorenzo). The wheels (Bernard Borden, Joseph Luzzi, Ernest Gris¬ wold, Alex Nowaset) are steered by a new steering wheel (Leon Plant) which has a horn (Myriam Libman) attached to it. The chassis (William Walsh) is as substantial as ever and is equipped with new bumpers (Sidney Pulver, Bella Levine). The chromium radiator (Jeanne Fraser) is directly above the dependable running boards (Anne Gold¬ stein, Anna Handler). The accelerator (Charles Winkler), the carburetor (Bennett Meyers), and the battery (Claire Madigan) are of the same type as on previous models. Our latest improvement is the shift handle (Evelyn Meltzer) which is to the right of the brake (James Grant). Cars do not vary much in their tail light (Julius Hurwitz), or their spare tire (Morris Cutler), but our exhaust (Franklin Goodman) is guaranteed to be different. EXTRA FEATURE. The tires are made of tempered (Alfreda Kossoff) rubber which means that they will not skid on wet roads. [ 61 ] Through the aid of our Advertisers, the “Portal” of 1934A has been made possible.

OF THE ... THOMAS SNELL WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT Dcdiccition We respectfully and gratefully dedicate this book, the tenth anniversary Portal, to the man who has been so largely responsible for the progress Weaver has made during these last, fine, eleven years—our principal, our counsellor, our steadfast friend. WILLIAM C. HOLDEN Che ' ortal for 1934-13 Foretrordl iAi ' e afcpie vale. The Portal Board bows and retires. Our work is done. Here is your book; we hope you like it. To celebrate this, the tenth birthday of Weaver, ve have tried to give you a book, modern but not blatantly modernistic, neat but not gaudy, tvhich, by its freshness in format and style, might suggest the past ten years of signal progress in Weavers history. This tve have at¬ tempted; whether or not we have succeeded ive leave you to judge. If we have aimed too high, we can only say ivith the poet, A man’s reach should exceed his grasp, or what’s a heaven for?” H. G. ■ptnje fire ' Ghc ‘Portal for 1934-® In Retrospect A long, long time ago, fourteen years to be exact, the fathers of Hartford, realizing that the central high school of the city was frightfully overcrowded, appropriated the sum of $3,000,000 for the erection of two additional schools. This was the first material act which eventually led to the erection of Weaver High School. After this move there followed a period of planning, during which the general requirements of the school were determined and set forth in proper form, so that architects and builders could submit their plans and estimates. i Ir. Holden, then vice-principal in charge of the Broad Street building at H. P. H. S., had considerable to do wi th this phase of the work. At length, on April 25, 1922, the contract was awarded, and the construction began on the selected site, a ten-acre plot which was formerly a portion of the land owned by the Keney Park trustees. It was expected that the new school would be ready for occupation in September, 1923, but at that date the building was not yet completed. As a result, the prospective student body of AYeaver was forced to continue as an after¬ noon session in the Broad Street building at H. P. H. S. During this period, the administrative officers were those same who later continued at AYeaver and are still presiding here, namely. Principal AA ' illiam C. Holden, Ahce-Principal Frank H. Burke, and Dean of Girls, Faith H. Talcott. Finally came the day in January, 1924, when the school was occupied. AYe can only conjecture at the feelings of those chosen 850, as they walked up to the imposing and dignified structure, as they made their way down the cor¬ ridors to the beautiful auditorium. AYhat a thrill it must have been to explore the wonders of the building, the last word in secondary school design! No history of today, be it of school, government, or industry, can escape mentioning the depression, and this unscrupulous monster has played an espe¬ cially devastating role at AA ' eaver. AYe of 1934B have had to stand by and see the school shorn of all its distinctive features because the city of Hartford could not find it within its power to spend $1,500,000 for an additional high school, which in three or four years it will be compelled to do. The first change was the conversion of the boys’ and girls’ club room into session rooms. Next, a workshop on the first floor was made over into an extra typing room. In 1931 we saw the model suite go in favor of class rooms. This suite, composed of five completely furnished rooms, was used for club meetings and Avas the social center of the school. It is sorely missed noAA In the same year a fully equipped machine shop was coiiA erted into classrooms. The AvoodAA’orking shop and draAving rooms in the Avest Aving Avere removed to the automobile shop and ignition room, and the latter Avere dis})ensed Avith so that more class rooms might be created. But all this extra room Avas still not enough for the huge incoming classes Avhich devoured all tlie space faster than it Avas created. To page 8iX‘ - ortal for 1934-15 relieve tliis serious situation, the powers-that-be decided in September, 1932, to resort to the old system of double sessions. This plan makes it possible for approximately 2,200 pupils to attend the school, the capacity of which is 1,700. Of course, the plan has its disadvantages: It does not allow sociable couples to loiter in the corridors, it has reduced the number of periods in each session to five, and has shortened these periods considerably, all of which grieves the student body. Extra-curricular activities at Weaver have undergone notable changes. Clubs have been organized and have disbanded according as interest was manifest in them. For this reason some organizations, such as the Science Club, Rifle Club, Radio Club, German Club, and Classical Club, are no longer in existence; while the Debating, Portia, and Chemistry clubs are of comparatively recent origin. The school journal, “The Lookout,” Avas first published in 1925. PreA ' i- ous to this time, all AVeaA ' er neAvs Avas published in a section of the “OAA ' let,” the H. P. H. S. paper. Fntil the practice Avas discontinued several years ago, Weaver also contributed to “The Chronicle,” a monthly magazine. In a decade of athletics under the guidance of Fred Stone, the Green and AVhite has had its share of A ' ictories. The city baseball championship has rested at Weaver eA ' ery year from 1925 to 1928. The title Avas Avon again in 1931, and in 1933 it Avas shared Avith Bulkeley. Championship basketball teams Avere l)roduced in ’24, ’28, and ’29; and in ’28 and ’29 WeaA’er sent representatWe teams to the Yale Tournament. In football, hoAveA er, the pickings have been meager, WeaA’er Avinning only one city title in ten years. This happy eA’ent took place in 1931, AA’lien the team, after nosing out Bulkeley by Aurtiie of a last minute rally, AA ' eiit on to AA’in a thriller from Hartford High in the annual ThauksgiA’ing Day game. Although Weaver students spend a good portion of their time pursuing their outside interests, they have not lost sight of their scholastic goal, the primary concern of any school. WeaA er boys and girls have compiled a record in College Board examinations Avhich more than compares faA ' orably Avith that of any other public school in Xcav England, to say nothing of the numerous high grades that are attained in the regular school examinations every semester. In addition to tliis, the office receiA ' es eA’ery year a number of letters from some of the leading colleges in the country, praising the fine Avork of Weaver grad¬ uates in their courses. In achieA’ing this high scholastic standard, WeaA’er students have been aided immeasurably by the faculty, Avhicli has groAvn Avith the student body until it noA - consists of ninety-one teachers, as conii)ared Avith the original sixty-one. The year 1934 marks the tenth anniA ' ersary of WeaA ' er, and also the exit of the Class of 1934B. Whether Ave, as individuals or a class, have, during our stay, taken advantage of every chance to exalt the name of Weaver, is noAv a thing of the i)ast. It is useless to take ourseh es to task for opportunities AA ' asted. lIoAvever, Ave must keep in mind that it is alAAays the finished product and not the material in the process of manufacture, that counts; therefore, as Ave each go out to take our j)laces in the Avorld, some to climb, some to remain still, let us keej) this in mind: Weaver taught us to put forth our best.

God of Poetry if thou would just give One crystal poem to thy striving slave; That, when I die, it might behind me live To ease the unkind silence of my grave. One thought to whisper to myself in death. One thought that would fill up my empty life; One thought my friends might sigh with precious breath When pausing in the midst of strife. Oh! God, I do not ask for fame. I beg of you one brief but lasting line That men will couple with my humble name; A thought I may call mine—truly mine.

SUN AND SMOKE The sun pours its rich warmth Into the winter-shriveled bones. The Damp, spongy earth makes the Toes turn down and grip—Hard! The gray smoke drifts up lazily From the end of the fag. I Gaze at my slumbering self thru The haze with curious glance. His team and herd, they too had gone He’d sold his farm and even seen That russet orchard a rich man’s lawn. He watched men try and fail, then die. He chewed his straw and lived his life And wouldn’t believe his time was by! Ed Banfield Jr. Higher I rise on the light gray Smoke. The world looks small And sticky below, like an all- Day sucker some child has tossed Aside from ennui. The smoke covers the earth and Hides the filth uncovered by newly Melted snow. The sun has soaked Into every pore of the body. It Stretches and sighs. The sun has done its work while I was dancing on the smoke.

Oscar Brauman Scene: Hotel Lobby ACT I (Curtain rises on Detective [upstage R.] back to audience, hidden by paper. Desk clerk and telephone girl engaged in conversation, center back) A A Clerk —I’d like to know how the returns are coming along over at the tele¬ vision room. Telephone Girl —How are they working that radio stunt tonight anyhow? Last night’s paper explained what they intended to do, but I didn’t have time to read the article. Clerk —They’ve installed a television unit in the recording offices at Washington so that those owning sets can see the results as they come in over the wires. Telephone Girl —Most of the guests are crowded in the projection room like a bunch of morons. Clerk —We’re pretty fortunate that our hotel was the first in the East to install a projection room for television enthusiasts. Telephone Girl —Who ever thought that tv ' o of our classmates would some day run against one another for President of the United States. Clerk —It certainly is something to boast about. Girl —I wonder why tliat man over there isn’t interested in the election returns. Clerk —He’s been sitting in that same chair since I came on duty. (Pensively.) There’s something strangely familiar about him though. page fifty-six ortal for 1934-13 Girl —His actions seem very peculiar to me. Clerk —I’m getting suspicious myself. Don’t you think I ought to call the house detective? Telephone Rings Girl —Good evening. Crammed Hotel.—One moment, please—These people, always asking questions—(Looks at register) No sir, Mr. and Mrs. Burt Quint checked out this morning. (As she plugs iii switchboard eccentric gent enters lobby, nods to clerk) Clerk —Good evening, sir. Some mail for you today. Detective meticulously folds paper and rises going towards desk. Detective —Everybody seems to be taking a keen interest in the results of the elections tonight. (Walks towards desk, saying boastfully) I’m par¬ ticularly interested because I knew both of the candidates when they were younger. We even graduated from high school together. Clerk and Girl —(Very astonished)—What!!! Detective —Wliy? Don’t you believe me? Clerk —Oh, we believe you all right. But you see, sir, they happen to be former classmates of ours. Detective —They were!! AVait a minute. Isn’t it—Why yes, Irv Burness. I didn’t recognize you behind that disguise (Turns to girl—ponder¬ ing) and aren’t you Adele Moriarty? Girl —Yes. But I don’t seem to recall having met you before. Clerk —(Breaking in)—I know now. It’s Bob Rubin (to girl) Don’t you re¬ member him, Dell? Girl —Of course I do, I never would have known you, but then I suppose time does change one. Clerk —What have you been doing all these years? Detective —Oh, knocking around here and there. But have you two been work¬ ing here very long ? Clerk —And how! AVe’ve been here so long that we’re regarded as part of the furnishings. (Breaks off) You know, it’s funny that w ' e should meet on this day which means so much to members of our old class. Girl —Weren’t you surprised to hear that Annette Pessin was running against Joe Roth ? Detective —Not very much. Annette’s crusade for making the woman the boss of the home has become nation-wide in its scope. On the other hand, Joe’s plea for red-blooded “he-men” has become a by-word with the stronger sex. Clerk —AVell, this ought to settle the i.ssue once and for all. Girl —They’re not the only ones who are successful in their careers. Quite a few members of our cla.ss are now very prominent in worldly affairs. ■pai e fifty-� even tJhc ortal for 1934-® Detective —That’s right. I’ve been hearing a great deal lately about Irv Glass- man. He’s a Major in the Army now. Just recently he put down a South American uprising led by that notorious rebel, Izzy Ertman. Girl —Then there’s Lil Sivin, who has just returned from a trip on the con¬ tinent. She has become one of the world’s most famous international correspondents. Clerk —I understand that the newly appointed ambassador to South Africa is none other than Mim Grody. She always did yearn for that sort of life. Girl —Another one who followed her favorite vocation was “Liz Bill,” more commonly known of old as Betty Williams. She’s creating a sensation in England in her newest stage presentation. Detective —Come to think of it, we had an unusual amount of talent in our class, as far as dramatic ability is concerned. Do you remember Joe Levine as “Napoleon,” with Florence Scoler as his “Desiree?” Girl —I’ll never forget the excellent interpretations of their roles that Janet Grant and Gert Borden always rendered, especially in “Dust in the Eyes.” Clerk —That was the year that Jerry Kramer displayed his versatility by sterling performances in two plays, and his co-authorship with Bill Glazier in producing their original production, “Rubicon.” They certainly made history with that play. No one had ever before done anything like it at Weaver. Detective —“Rubicon” was the beginning of a colorful career for both of them. I’ve heard from reliable sources that their latest offering, with Jerry in the leading role, is expected to cop the Pulitzer prize this year. Clerk —Well, some guys get all the breaks. But I suppose they deserve it (Breaks off). Say, what’s your line? Detective —Does this mean anything to you? (Flashes badge.) Girl —(Astonished)—You’re not kidding, are you? (He nods his head in reply.) Then what brings you here? We have our own house detective. Detective —I’m working on a big case right now. For the past five years, we’ve been trying to locate a suspect in a murder case, and his trail finally led to this hotel. Girl and Clerk together —A murderer—in this hotel? Who can it be? Detective —I have a list of aliases he has used in the past. Let me take a look at the register. Perhaps I can find him listed there. (They group around register as he reads) Ralph Reeves!!! How ' long has he been staying here ? Clerk —Oh, he’s been here for at least two years now. But then again he’s a very eccentric gentleman. He just went up to his room a few minutes ago. (Enter two young women, smartly dressed, one wearing smoked glasses. Detective busies himself behind other side of desk, so as not page fifty-eight ' Ghe ortal for 1934-15 to be seen. During following conversation eccentric gentleman comes in from back, no one except the “stooge” noticing him as he goes out.) Clerk —Good evening. Coyjipanion —Good evening, sir. We’d like a suite of rooms. Clerk —How many? Coynpanwn —About two or three would be enough, southern exposure, please. Clerk —Certainly, madame. Will you please register here? (Holds out pen and motions towards register) I’ll have the boy show you to your rooms. Actress —Don’t you think you ought to make that call now, Lil? Companion —Oh, yes, I almost forgot—] Iiss,—Will you please put in a person- to-person call thru to Chicago for me? Telephone Girl —Certainly, what is the name please? Companion —Lillian Greenbaum calling Attorney Arnold Kupperstein at the Palmer House Hotel. Clerk —I beg your pardon, but are you the same Lillian Greenbaum that once went to Weaver? Compani-on —How did you know that? Clerk —Perhaps you remember me, Irving Burness? Companion —Irving Burness? The name is familiar. Clerk —I’m the fellow that used to short-change you at the lunch room. Companion —That’s right now, I know. (Turns to actress.) Did you hear what he said, Florence? Companion —Florence? I thought her name was Judith Roberts. Companion —Well er-er-a-ah—that is—you see (turns to actress imploringly). Actress —It’s all right to tell them Lil. Companion —You see, Florence is another member of our old class. Don’t you remember Florence Leikind? Or perhaps you know her of more recent years as the famous actress, Phyll Lee. TelejAione Girl —Of course we do, but why the glasses? Actress —I’ve just finished a strenuous season on the stage, and Dr. Edward Kelly advised me to get away from my public for a while. Clerk —You came to the right place. You’re safe among old friends. Detective —(Coming from around desk)—It seems as if we all know each other here. Permit me to introduce myself, Bob Rubin. Actress —Imagine meeting you here. It’s been ages since we’ve seen you, Bob. That’s right. Quite a few things have happened since we last met. Clerk —What fun we used to have in the good old days! Companion —That’s because we had such an interesting class. The athletes played a major role in bolstering up this spirit. Detective —We had them in all forms and manners. Large, small, broad, slim, light, and heavy, they provided good material for the newspapers throughout our school days. page fifty-nine ' Ghe ortal for 1934-© Clerlx —The two Johnnies, namely Powers and Andreoli, were outstanding in that respect. They not only were members of the football team for four years, but they also gained the distinction of being the only individuals in our class to play on the city championship team of ’32. Detective —There were many more fellows in the class who were no slouches as far as athletics were concerned. Joe Luzzi, Charlie Rubenstein, and Davey Yush deserve a goodly share of the praise for their work on the line. Then there was Pittsy Chotiner, who was rewarded for his fine work on the chalked court by being elected Marshal of Class Night. Clerk —Slitts Silver joined Johnny Powers in the exclusive three sport class, a position that every athlete desired. Detective —You know, the track team is one team that doesn’t get the recogni¬ tion it deserves. Remember how Arty Bing and Spencer Shaw used to be consistent point getters in every cross-country meet? Telephone Girl —Say, you two, why talk about the track men not getting a break? How about the girl athletes who contributed so much to life at Weaver. Companion —I bet that a basketball team the girls could have presented would have offered serious opposition to the boys’ team. There would have been Helene Thorner in the role of player-manager, supported by Helen Angus, Irene Beidelman, Betty Light, and Bunky Davidson, who could have gi ven any boy in the class a good game of tennis. Telephone Girl —Speaking of tennis, I was glad to read that Ruth Shoor has just won her way into the women’s finals at Forest Hills. I hope she comes thru okay. Clerk —Yeah, but it was the boys represented by Milt Stien and Tom Burke, who gained the national amateur golf finals. Actress —Oh, why quibble over such a little matter as superiority when there are so many other things we could discuss. You know I’m glad that many afternoons Dave Robinson spent at Parsons’ matinees were to some avail. He’s considered the world’s greatest judge of feminine beauty, and his latest “Vanities” have been acclaimed as a master¬ piece. He’s got Fred Astaire’s successor, Freddy Croker, to take charge of the dancing end of the production. Companion —A couple of the ballet dancers are no other than Alyce Bort and Geraldine Carey. The stars of the show are Elaine Hazen and Lois Wadhams. Clerk —What do you think of “Bing” Ward’s sudden rise to a position of the most popular of the feminine heart throbs in the country? Actress —Quite sensational, to say the least. Grace Solprizio and I were talk¬ ing about him the other day while she was taking my picture for her paper. Companion —That’s the paper that runs Marion Clancy’s key-hole peeping column. page sixty Xihc ‘Portal for 1934-‘B Clerk —S])eaking of i)apers, I’ve been reading about Eddy Eanfield’s latest elTorts in tlie “back to the land” movement. Detective —iMorris Kiback i.s sharing the headlines •with him, it seems. lie’s leading an expedition to search for the bondoir of Helen of Troy. Clerk —Yon kno ' v a number of the fellows are abroad in very diversified fields. Actress —Is that right? Clerk —Yes. Harold Kosen and Lonis Shlnger are np in the Arctic region sell¬ ing drv ice to the Eskimos. Detective —At the other extreme, Bob Penning is traveling among the South Sea Islands investigating feminine styles. Telephone Girl —(Coming to life)—Across the ocean again, Mollie Silver is re¬ viving the popular American “blues” singing at the Cafe Rouge in Paris. (During next speech eccentric gent comes in front and goes up back unseen by clerk.) Actress —This is all very interesting, and I would like it to continue, but don’t you think Ave ought to go up to see our rooms and then come doAvn again ?

(Turning to desk clerk) I caught him just in time. He was getting ready to burn these papers when I broke in. (Holds up sheaf of papers) I bet this will tell the whole story. Eccentric Gent —I implore you, sir, do not doubt the veracity of my statements. Detective —AVait till I look over these papers and then I’ll listen to whatever excuses you may offer. (Starts to unfold paper.) Eccentric Gent —(Frantic with fear)—Please sir, I beg of you, those documents are sacred to me. I assure you I can elucidate my circumstances. Detective —AA ell-er-never mind that. But what are these papers about and why were you trying to destroy them! Eccentric Gent —Their presence invoked painful recollections. Detective —Alaybe it would be better if I just read them. Eccentric Gent —No, not that. But you see, sir, in my younger days there was an er-er-affair. Detective —Oh, I see (smirks). A dark past catching up with you. Eccentric Gent —Aly good man, your tongue o’erleaps your mind.— (Reminis¬ cently) She spurned my love. Detective —But what’s that got to do— Eccentric Gent —AVith those papers? (Detective nods.) I was about to explain the relationship, if you’ll only be more forebearing. Detective —Okay, okay, shoot the works. Eccentric Gent —(Repelled by this offensive creature”)—These papers are the only token which I possess to br ing back memories of those far-off days. AA e were just out of high school when I received her answer. Those papers you have are the last will and testament of our graduat¬ ing class. They afforded me some measure of comfort at times, but the strain has been too great. Detective —How are we to know whether you’re telling the truth or not, if I don’t see the papers? Alaybe you lifted them somewhere. Eccentric Gent —If only you had graduated from AVeaver, I might relate various legacies as I recall them. Detective —AA’hat’s that? Did you say AVeaver? Eccentric Gent —ATes, why? Detective —Never mind, what year was it? Eccentric Gent —1934-B. Detective —AVell, buddy, we gave you enough rope and you’ve succeeded in hanging yourself. That happens to be our alma mater. V ' ou’ll have to do some fast thinking to wriggle out of this one.

Permit me to tell you a few of the things left to posterity by the class. Detective —All right, we’ll soon see whether you’re bluffing or not. Go ahead. Eccentric Gent —I remember distinctly that Norma Hayner left her storm boots to be used by AYinifred Law in carrying on the Ilayner tradition. Detective —What else? Eccentric Ge?? —Jack IMcAuliffe left his puny puns to Mr. Carrier to torment future “Solid” classes with. Eccentric Gent —Sylvia Gorfin left her “gum cracking” abilities to be used as a publicity stunt for “AYrigleys.” Telephone Girl —He knows all the answers. Detective —I’m not convinced by a long shot. Eccentric Gent —AA ' ell, Daniel Alazur left his vast acquaintanceship with books to be used by any student of “literary bent.” Detective — (Unconvinced) —Continue. Eccentric Gent —Pluma Garneau left her height to her cousin Janet—and Aliss Hanks’ French classes left their si)arkling wit to future followers in the ancient art of bluffing. AAGiat a class that used to be. Out of that bunch came class president, Phil Bayer. Incidentally, he’s just been appointed dictator in Gibroo and rules with an iron hand. Another of those erstwhile comedians and wits, Carl Lnndin, rose to a professor¬ ship, teaching French. His policy is to allow’ any bored individual to leave the class. Telephone Girl —That’s nothing. Lillian Avseev is now’ a Latin teacher, and is very popular w’ith her pupils. Detective —AVe’ll talk about that later, but let’s hear some more from this wizard. Eccentric Gent —Dot Zinkerman left lier boy friend, and Joyce Sacher be¬ queathed her seniority at the Phi Delta table to a younger personality. Clerk —Tliat Innch room certainly carried many traditions along with it. Some students .sat at the same table every day of their four years si)ent in school. Telephone Girl —Alany a budding romance flourished amidst tliat hubbub, and many beautiful friendships were monlded within the portals of AVeaver. Clerk —And 1 w’onder w’hy Knth Tirrell attended every basketball, baseball, and football game that AAYaver ever jilayed. But such is life.

Detective —I see your memory hasn’t failed you, anyhow. I recall a few of the legacies myself. Johnny Quinn left Colt’s Park Casino to bash¬ ful lower seniors. That reminds me, Kate Sheehan bestoAved her most appealing blushes upon Marjorie LaAA ' lor to be used in attracting educated males. Clerl ' — Hoav Bob Cone strutted about Avhen he left the professorship he acquired in the play ‘Mvhnfn” to Avonld-be pedagogues! To any of their mischievous students Ruth Naboicheck bequeathed her supply of de¬ merit slips. Telephone Girl —She didn’t deserve all the tough breaks she received, either. But the thing I enjoyed most came AAdien Ellen Curtis left her quiet manners to Adele Cohen. Eccentric Gent —I’m afraid you overlook more significant legacies. Do not forget hoAv Gloria Chauser left her abilities as a concert pianist to Marjorie McCray, and that Bernie ScliAveitzer bequeathed his talents as a violinist to Avould-be “Rubinoffs,” and that Sam Ritvo left his really sparkling Avit to the dry humorists of the future? Clerk —AVhat you say cannot be denied, but I still like to recall the expression on Carl Rozinsky’s face Avhen the testator had him leave his pesky Avays to keep up the tradition of “there’s one in every class.” Telephone Girl —I enA y the girl who received Rose Kaplin’s clothes and Flor¬ ence Kuchta’s hair to go Avith it. Clerk — She’s no more fortunate than the felloAv Avho acquired Bob Molloy’s curly thatch and Bob Parmett’s Avinsome Avays. Telephone Girl —It Avas funny the Avay Louis Neistat and Alex Levy left the school saying, “If the mayor can do it, I can.” Clerk —And Larry Seaman and Harold Hoch left,—hoAv was it stated?—their “ overAAdielming propensity for procrastination and self-designated vacations. ’ ’ Telephone Girl —Getting back to the realistic things once more, Ellen Ginsburg left her abilities as a dressmaker to struggling young maidens in the “Home Ec” department. Clerk —This last personal legacy will always remain Avith me: that is, Sarah Buchman’s leaving her loud voice to be used by Class Night and grad¬ uation speakers in making themselves heard. Eccentric Gent —(Arousing himself from reveries)—I Avager that no ne of you recall what the class bequeathed to the future. Clerk —I don’t. Telephone Girl —What Avas it? paye sixty-four ' Ghe ‘Portal for 1934-‘B Eccentric (tent —I remember tlie exact words. “ ' We the class of 1934-B, being of sound mind and body, and in full presence of our senses, do hereby bestow, bequeath, and otherwise confer upon posterity our high de¬ gree of intelligence, borne in our most supercilious mauner.” Detective —(Badge aud all)—You certainly have a remarkable memory, Oscar. It’s a shame you didn’t put your talents to better advantage. I don’t think there’s a woman in the world worth the sacrifice vou’ve made. V Say, who is the woman in this case, anyhow? Eccentric Gent —I’ve spoken so much already, I don’t suppose it could hurt much if I divulged a bit more. Her name is—Florence Leikind. Clerk —What a coincidence ! Telephone Girl —It’s uncanny!!! Eccentric Gent — Why, what is it? Is something the matter? Clerk —I guess you can stand the shock. Florence just registered as a guest at this hotel. Eccentric Gent —I can’t believe it. Clerk —You know, of course, the position she occupies in the world today. Eccentric Gent —Certainly, I’ve followed her career from the very day I re¬ ceived her answer. (Impulsively) I must see her at once. Detective —Take it easy, she’ll be down any minute now. Let’s .surprise her when she comes. We’ll hide over here. Telephone Girl —Hey, Bob, I hear somebody coming now; you’d better duck. Detective —Come on, step on it. (Pulls bewildered eccentric geut over to side where they cannot be seen.) (Enter Actress and Companion) Actress —Now that my time really is my own, I don’t take advantage of it. It’s a welcome relief to be able to throw olf my cloak of responsibiltiy and be my unas.suming self once more. (Companion and actress seat themselves near de-sk) Clerk —After talking over old times, it seems as though it were only yesterday that we graduated from high school. And to think that I have three children of my own attending school now. Actress —Three children! How lovely! Tell me about them. Telephone Girl —Thank goodness they’re not like their father. Clerk —Never mind her. They’re a great bunch, but I don’t want to get started on that subject, I’m liable to talk all night. Telephone Girl —No, I wouldn’t advise it either. Actress —Tell me some more about our old friends. I’m intere.sted in hearing about them. Clerk —AYell, “all I know is what I read in the newspapers.” I see A1 Freed¬ man is one of our leading chiropodists now. He even goes as far as Norwalk to see some patients. page sixty-five Che ortal for 1934 Telephone Girl —Do you ever read the bed-time stories that Helen May pub¬ lishes at regular intervals. Companion— I don’t. But I did notice the new set of shorthand rules that Lois Phelon published recently. Telephone Girl —So many things are happening now-a-days that you can’t keep track of them. But I do remember hearing about the beauty salon Bea Bernstein opened with Bovio Pulito as her manager. Then there’s Prances Marenholtz, who’s been appointed instructor at the large skating rink just opened. Clerk —You know Manny Davidson has been a model for a sculptor for the past few years. Companion —Gee! He had a swell physique. Telephone Girl —Along the line of Bohemians, there’s Bete Herman, whose sketches are considered the best of the season by the modern impressionists. Clerk —Ray Moore used to be good at that sort of thing. He made his carica¬ tures live. AVe used to see his sketches all over the building. Telephone Girl —No more than you saw of Christine Lurk, always with a sheaf of schedules in her hand. They gave her a scholarly appearance. Clerk —There were many in the class who didn’t need the appearance, because their work spoke for itself. It’s unnecessary to say that Seymour Podorowsky’s name led all the rest. He not only was valedictorian of the class, but he managed to win prizes in the annual Rotary Club Essay Contest. Telephone Girl —As far as essays are concerned, Helen Avery runs him a cl ose second, and deservedly so. Clerk —Do you remember the number of debaters there were in the class? Helen Kelly was outstanding in this respect, as she carried her abilities into the classroom. Telephone Girl —Closely related in this respect there was Rosalind Kenig, whose book reviews at the CHLS meetings will always be remembered. Clerk —The real business woman of the class was Genie Philips. She was some go-getter. Her experience as business manager of the ‘Lookout” stood her in good stead when she went out after the class dues. One of the most versatile members of the masculine sex was Lucky Fleish. He was in turn Thespian, orchestra leader, and civic leader. I’m not at all surprised to hear that his orchestra is playing on the roof garden of the Ritz-Carleton Hotel. Telephone Girl —As usual, the girls had a very versatile personality in Har¬ riet Goldstein. Her list of achievements ranged from salutatorian of the class to talented artist. Companion —(With “moony” expression)—Adele, where did Bob disappear to? I think the years have treated him well, don’t you?

SALUTATORY A question of a vital nature has sprung suddenly before our dreaming eyes. We have leisurely traveled our placid way through the first chapter of our lives, not worrying about the calamities that the morrow presaged. We have given little thought to our future. The day when we should be leaving high school always seemed so far away that it remained cubbyholed in the haziest recesses of our minds. But now we have arrived at that critical point, and the decision looms hugely ahead—“What next?” There are so many open roads. They stretch before us with alluring possibilities, beckoning because of the very uncertainty of their ends. Have you ever stood in the middle of a busy railroad station, the crowds milling around you in endless movement? They are all going somewhere. Each individual is to travel some one of those gleaming bands of steel that extend in seeming infinity in every direction. Each has a reason for taking that par¬ ticular path, and each knows exactly where it will terminate. There are just as many roads enticing the feet of the graduates here tonight. But there is a difference; the ends cannot be so surely predicted. They all lead somewhere, but whether to ill-fortune and disaster, or to fame and success, it is often impossible to prophesy. Notwithstanding the uncertainty as to the little wayside station at which our roads may conclude, we should have in mind, nevertheless, a destination. When Columbus left Genoa, he did not know where he was going when he started, he had no idea where he was Avhen he disembarked, and when he died he still had no conception of where he had been. He had purposed to discover a short route to the fabulous riches of the East, and unknowingly he had stumbled upon a new world—America. He had not arrived at his original objective, but he had brought to men’s knowledge something of far greater worth and significance. Perhaps our roads will take some such unexpected turn, but not without an initial incentive to spur us on our way. It has been the force of a great ideal borne always before their minds’ eyes and adhered to with unswerving devotion that has brought many great men to the realization of their highest hopes. They have finally stood on the heights with the plaudits of the world echoing in their ears. To succeed in one’s i)ri- niary aim requires unceasing diligence and foresight. The dizzying speed with which modern life moves often causes people to plunge into a course of action without a clear conception of the ultimate goal. Beal attainment demands a comprehension ac(piired only through a firm foundation of culture, self-dis- cipliue, and exi)erience. The uncertainty and suspense of the final outcome of all our efforts should add zest to the struggle. Curiosity to see what lies beyond the next bend of the road and the greater supi)ly of courage that is engendered within us by the uee( ssity to meet and surmount the difficulties that clutter the j)ath will tiixty-nxne ' Ghe ortal for 1934 help us to follow our first glimmering hopes and reach perhaps our dreamed-of aspirations. This class that is a.ssembled tonight is taking its last step out of its high school life, and the first on to one of those many roads, all of which lead somewhere. To our teachers without whose help and understanding we should not hav e succeeded so well in our high school careers— To our parents whose love and belief in us will always be one of our great incentives to live nobler lives and attain higher goals— To our friends whose encouragement has helped to enrich our experiences— I extend, on behalf of the class of 1934-B, a hearty and sincere welcome. AYe are happy that you have come to share in this momentous occasion in our lives, this turning pcint that makes us ask ourselves, “AYhither Bound!” Harriet A. Goldstein. ‘‘Lasciate Ogni Speranza Voi Cii’entrate” ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Board acknowledges with thanks the able assistance of Miss Ingle and the following members of her art class: Flor¬ ence Pivnik, Virginia Nelson, Brainard Warner, Mae Gold, Beatrice Herman, Harriet Gold¬ stein, Ray Moore and Harry Conners.

Our answer to this question depends upon what kind of success we mean—whether we are referring to a person who has worked his way to a high position in public life, respected by his fellow men, or to one who occupies an ordinary place in the world, unobserved by others, but one who nevertheless has been able to achieve the goal he has set for himself. The person who is not known to the public, but who truly feels that he has ful¬ filled liis worthy aspirations has succeeded despite the fact that his success is not glorified. One who has been able to overcome a handicap or help a friend improve in some way is just such a person—for he has succeeded in attaining that for which he has steadfastly striven, keeping his goal constantly before him. When we stop to consider, we realize that we derive most of our joy and sincere pleasure from the anticipation of a thing rather than from the actual possession of it. We should therefore choose some worthy objective in life that will require intensive effort over a period of time, and aim at it. During times like these when everyone is worried and troubled, it is especially helpful to have such an ideal or goal to inspire us. AYe should remember, however, that if we are to succeed we must work hard—“the hope of the harvest is in the seed.” It is evident that due to modern machinery, the actual working week will be reduced still further and we shall have an abundance of leisure time at our disposal. This will produce a serious problem unless we learn to use the extra time profitably, for if we are not cautious, we are liable to waste it in idleness— the root of much evil. The one who has established an ideal, however, will be able to busy himself by trying to attain it. He will then desire to improve himself morally, mentally, and physically and will keep his mind occupied with wholesome thoughts in his pursuit of success and happiness. The question naturally comes before us: AYliat qualities make for success? There are four: Ambition, initiative, endurance, and the ability to adapt our¬ selves to changing conditions. The first of these is important, for our swiftly moving gage and the keen competition that is prevalent in every field of life have made it necessary for us always to strive to advance and do something better than onr neighbors. AVe must have the ambition to attain new heights. Initiative, the ability to do a thing well without being urged by someone else, is also essential, for we are expected to do a great deal today. There is so much comi)etition in this day and age that only the fittest survive, and unless we take it upon ourselves to do voluntarily even more than our jobs recjuire, our wide-awake, ambitious, foreseeing co-workers will outshine us and finally dis})lace us. Endurance is of great significance today. AA e are living in a fast-moving nation, and as Hawthorne said, “Amid the fluctuating waves of our .social life, somebody is always at the drowning j)oint.” AVe must learn to endure things page Mfrenty-one ' Ghe ortal for 1934-13 with a smile and to maintain our courage and spirits even in the face of catastrophe. Some of our greatest and most successful men have had to suffer hardships and submit themselves to many humiliating and discouraging situa¬ tions, but ever-mindful of their goals they had enough grit and backbone to cling unflinchingly to their ideals until their efforts were recognized. Another important quality essential to success is the ability to adapt our¬ selves to changing conditions, to accustom ourselves to radical and sudden altera¬ tions in economic, political, and social affairs. Now, everyone is used to the automobile, but many people must have had numerous misgivings when they dared to ride in one for the first time, just as today most of us are as yet afraid of the airplane. We are loath to exchange our old things for better new ones. In financial matters we have certainly been undergoing severe reverses of late, and in many cases we have been able to adapt ourselves to a lower standard of living, hopeful for the future. Within the past few months we have also witnessed sudden changes in our government and happily have been willing to accept them with confidence. Success is not obtained through luck, nor can it be bought. It is earned only by sincere and continuous effort. Some attain it at a fairly early age, others late in life; but whenever it comes, it is a reward for work well done, and not a happy accident as the majority of unsuccessful people in this world like to imagine. Furthermore, in order to retain it, we must continue to de¬ serve it. It resembles a precious jewel in so far as we must guard it; but unlike the expensive jewel, it is within the reach and means of everyone. “Children of life are we, as we stand With our lives uncarved before us, Waiting the hour when, at God’s command. Our life-dream shall pass o’er us.” Mr. Holden: Your courage and kind understanding have been an inspira¬ tion to us throughout our high school course. You have set us a noble example of perseverance and hopefnlness and we have felt your guiding hand. Now with deep appreciation I say to you, farewell. Our Faculty: For four years you have been our sympathetic and friendly instructors, encouraging and advising us. You have been patient with us and have shown a deep interest in our welfare. With a feeling of respect and gratitude, I say, farewell. My Classmates: We are preparing ourselves for success, having now com¬ pleted the second step in onr formal edncation. In spite of the economic d e¬ pression which has accompanied the four years we spent here, we have been able to continue with our education, and we have had many joys together. Now, as we are abont to enter tlie world, we must each decide upon some definite objective and .strive unerringly toward it. AYith fond memories of the past and a cheerful outlook on the future, I say, farewell. Seymour B.
