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 ]

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 ]

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. A.; French Club; Honor Society; Inter-High School Orchestra; Concertmaster of Senior Orchestra; Chemistry Club; Senior Choir; Boys’ Club; Senior Glee Claib; School Band; Junior Usher; Editoria’ Board of Class Book. 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 ]
