THIS BOOK IS THE PROPERTY mWEmR HIGH SCHOOL HARTFORD™ CONNECTICUT « PRESENTED BY C ass a 93S ' i f... tL. L. U I h Jv THE PORTAL PUBLISHED BY THE CLASS OF 1935-A OF THE Thomas Snell Weaver High School Hartford, Connecticut With deep appreciation of one who was not merely an able instructor, but a sincere, under¬ standing friend and advisor, keenly interested in our success, and always willing to extend a helping hand to lighten our burdens, we the Class of 193 5 A, dedicate this Portal to LYDIA M. CHAPMAN Foreword Who’s afraid of the big, bad wolf? Who said depression?” If we haven’t achieved a literary success, we do think that this book, its size, its pictures, and what not, is at least an economic triumph. And may we pause here to present our economic wizard, the man who made the book possible and purchasable, Mr. Cunningham. Let’s give the big man a big hand! At any rate, here’s your book, and our job is done. All we can do now is hope that most of you are satisfied, that all of you will find something to like in this, your book, the Portal of 193 5 A. M.

Peppy, cute, but lacking initia¬ tive to get her ahead, maybe she doesn’t get her ciuota of sleep. Girls’ League; Glee Club; Choir CHARLES ABEL “Charlie” Franl; A. Brackett Never Tardy “Charlie” thought we wouldn’t have enough to write about, so he decided to linger on another half year. But when it comes to French horns, “Charlie” can blow anyone off his feet. He just whoops up and gets you every time. Choir; Glee Club; Junior Orchestra; Senior Or- ehestra; Inter-High Or¬ chestra; Boys’ Commer¬ cial Club; Band M usician LILLIAN ABRAMOWITZ “Lil” New Utrecht High Lillian’s favorite pastime is making side remarks. She tells us (in these remarks) that when she gets angry, in order to ease her anger she walks and walks until she is no longer angry; but when she realizes the distance she has to walk back, she gets angry all over again. Lillian has been entertaining us ever since she came to ■Weaver. Girls’ League; Soccer Nurses Training School, EVERETT ANDERSON “Ev” Holcomb Everett has that superb quality of knowing how to mind his own busi¬ ness. He is quiet and possesses a self-assurance that is impressive. “Ev” is a good student, too, believing that we go to high school to learn. He intends to take up en¬ gineering at M. 1. T. and we know that he will go far in this field which requires careful and accurate thinking. M. . T. •— Engineering TH€ PORTAL - CLASS 1935 A ALBERT BARACCHI “Hands Up” Holcomb Never Tardy Ready and alert, waiting for the start, “Al” is always ciuick and con¬ cise in his actions. He always pops up next to you, and, on a second look, he’s gone as quick as he appears. Football; Basketball; Baseball; T rack EVELYN BARNOVITZ “Ev” Northwest Never Tardy Evelyn almost had us believing that she is sophisticated; but her giggle is a dead give-a¬ way. Although not a confirmed coquette, Ev does evoke the secret admiration of a good many male classmates. And as for the girls — Evelyn’s choice titbits are always a source of joy to them. Lookout Typist; Portal Board; Girls’ League; C. H. L. S.; Vice-Presi¬ dent and Treasurer, Business Club; A. A. RICHARD BARTON “Dick” Northwest Never Tardy Estimable as an athlete, Dick is also well known as fiddler and playboy. The latter role probably explains his broken ankle. He has the great ambi¬ tion to be an orchestra leader, and considering his fine work in the inter-high orchestra, it won ' t take him long. A. A.: Senior Orches¬ tra; Inter-High Orches¬ tra; Commercial Club Musical work HERMAN BEATMAN “Hy” Arsenal School Herman is one of Weaver’s hardest work¬ ing students, who almost proved too ambitious for his own good. Al¬ though he lost a great deal of sleep because of his ambition for work¬ ing outside, he made a success of it, since he managed to pass his subjects. A. A.; Boys’ Commercial Club; former member of football squad New York University HENRY BECKENSTEIN “Becky” Holcomb Bluebeard was just an amateur when compared with Henry, as far as mysterious black whiskers and intriguing love affairs go. His enemies will tell you that “Becky” bluffed his way through high school — and they ' re right! Henry can talk an A out of almost any teacher. “Becky” still remains one of the best-likeil fellows in our class. Chemistry Club; Debat¬ ing Club; Portal Board; ELEANOR BEIDELMAN “Biddy” Northwest Small, shy, and happy- go-lucky are a few of the adjectives that de¬ scribe “Diddy.” She has a sunny smile and big blue eyes that attract more than a little at¬ tention. Her giggle is quite infectious, espe¬ cially in Democracy Class. A. A.; Girls ' League Business Wor ( HELEN BERKMAN “Hank” Northwest Nerer Tardy We have never .seen Helen in a bad humor, although her hair is decidedly auburn. She always seems in a hurry to get some place on time — certainly a commendable quality. Another thing we have noticed is her neatness, and we wonder how long she spends before her mirror. Ingleside Club; A. A.; Girls ' League; Art-Craft Club LEONARD BLUM Northwest Nerer Tardy “Lenny’ is always willing to let the next fellow make a fool of himself with silly talk. He, him¬ self, prefers to remain silent. However, he is able to talk; the ads in the back of this book prove that. A. A.; Boys ' Club; Com¬ mercial Club, Secretary, I ' ice-President; Assistan t Manager, Bask.etbaU; Business Manager Portal Certified Public Ac¬ countant TH€ PORTAL - CLASS 1935 A LEO CAPLAN “Shadow” Hartford High “Shadow” is the most misunderstood little boy in the whole school. But watch your step, for “Shadow” will heckle and haunt you who don’t give him a break. Still, he’s right there when it comes to the fairer .sex. Interclass Soccer; Basket¬ ball; Choir; Glee Club; A. A.; football; Basket¬ ball: Soccer Aviator RUTH CASSIDY “Rudy” Northwest Never Tardy Fluffy black hair with a few threads of silver and a rather serious appear¬ ance around school —• but what a silly laugh when she escapes its .solemn atmosjthere. May¬ be her nickname should be Mrs. Jekyll. How she does chase around after that soccer ball; she often gets it between the goal posts, too! A. A.; Girls ' League; Girls ' Business Club; Soccer Tearn JEAN CAULKINS Northwest Never Tardy Jean, our prize lady athlete, couldn’t quite make the football team; and yet again, perhaps she could — and did! (ientlewoman, scholar, and judge of good clothes, she is, withal, a modest soul with many a good blush left in her system. A. A.; Girls ' League: Basketball; Tennis; Girls ' Leader Corps; Portal Board; Nominating Committee; C. H. L. S. LAURA CHAPMAN Holcomb spasmodic worker with an unending store of good-natured wi.se- cracks up her sleeve, she ceaselessly hums. Deli¬ cate, dainty profiles galore decorates every¬ thing she touches. With a good voice, an ear for music, and plenty of skill in drawing, she will go far in the world of fine arts. A. A.; Glee Club; C. H. L. S.; Girls ' League; A Cappella Choir; Girls ' Leader Corps; Choir: I rule Club, Soccer CHARLES CLAFFEY “Charlie” Northwest Whether on the football field or in the drawing room caught without a Murad, Charlie’s sense of humor always comes to the rescue, and his jokes make him a favorite with his fellow students. A. A.; Boys ' Club: Bas (etball; Football; Interclass Soccer Storrs SADIE COHN “Sid” Alfred E. Burr Never Tardy If she’s dark, slight, and in a hurry — it’s Sadie. She is one little lady who certainly can rattle off shorthand notes better than Mr. Gregg himself. All that is lack¬ ing is the gum to make her the typical stenog¬ rapher. Girls’ League; A. A.; Girls’ Business Club, Secretary; Honor Society Secretary RUTH CONGDON “Rufus” Wethersfield High School Never Tardy Ruth comes early to school every day in order to walk around the building and see the sights. She always has an engaging grin for the many friends she has made since transferring from Wethersfield High. Girls’ League; A. A. State Trade School HARRY CONNERS “Squirt” Northwest Never Tardy He may be down, but he’s never out — that’s Harry. He’s one of the peppiest athletes in our class, and even his size can’t keep him off the school teams. His happy- go-lucky attitude has gained him many friends. He’s an abbre¬ viated edition of a swell guy. A. A.; Commercial Club; Treasurer, Inde Club; Soccer Pratt Institute TH€ PORTAL - CLASS 1935 A LAWRENCE DeLIZIA “Laurie” Northwest “Laurie” is a “delicious” little cross - country runner, although he hasn’t lanky legs. We have been told that his favorite color is “Red,” but we rarely see him with her around the school. Commercial Club; Cross- Country; Track, Team; A. A. Commercial Field JAMES DE LORETO “Jimmy” Northwest Never Tardy No Demerits Jimmy is one of the most intelligent boys in the class. He also pays a great deal of attention to his appearance. His teachers have to work hard to conjure questions Jimmy can’t answer. Although he didn’t go in for athletics till his senior year, he showed us that he’s a man from the bf)ttom up. Honor Society; Chem¬ istry Club; Portal Board; LILLIAN DRAMIN “Lil” Holcomb Never Tardy Reserved and able is our wise Lillian. Provi¬ dentially, she is capable of bestowing, and does bestow, encouragement and help on everyone in need. Tasteful dressing is her specialty, and home work an occasional hobby, with a lovely giggle thrown in for good measure. A. A.; Girls’ League; French Club; C. H. L. S., Secretary; Inde Club; Honor Society JANET DUNCAN “Dunk” Holcomb Never Tardy Never Absent Although the smallest in our class, she has a surprisingly, nay, even terrifyingly large amount to say. Her irrepressible giggle is known to all, every¬ where. By reason of her stature, she makes a good athlete, spry, wiry, and quick. Girls League; A. A.; Soccer; Girls’ Leader Corps; Girls’ Business Club FREDERIC DUNNE “Freddie” Korthwest Never Tardy “Freddie” is one of these all-around men — a de¬ votee of studies, sports, and feminine beauty. A c]uiet chap, but one whose immaculate clothes and handsome features have won many admirers. “Fred” is a budding soccer hero; he runs around the park to keep in training. junior Glee Club; Soccer Team; Boys ' Club; A. A. Conn. State College CATHERINE ELARDI “K” Franl{ A. Bracl(ett Catherine is noted for her quiet manner, but underneath this silent exterior, there is a shy friendliness and a will¬ ingness to help others in need. This perhaps comes from her partici¬ pation in the activities of the (jirl Scouts. Art-Craft Club; Girls’ Leader Corps; Secretary, Girls’ League; Senior Choir; A. A.; Soccer Hartford Hospital Train¬ ing School HENRIETTA ELKINS “Henry” Northwest What’s that droning noise — an airplane? No — it’s Henrietta off on another solo flight of words. She has some pretty queer ideas on some subjects, but her words are pure silver to the Democracy class. Maybe she is wise in selecting teaching as her future work — she cer¬ tainly has the lungs for it. Junior, Senior and Inter- High School Orchestra; Choir; Girls ' League MARION FALCK “Gigi” Holcomb Never Tardy Never Absent High among the super¬ students, with much, honorable conscientious work to her credit, she has little to say in school. Outside, when stirred to wrath she is supremely eloquent. Ffx- tremely interested in art, she has ability and taste for that work. Girls’ League; A. A.; Inde Club; Secretary, C. H. L. S.; Senior Choir TH€ PORTAL - CLASS 1935 A LILLIAN FEINBLUM “Lil” Northwest Sherlock Holmes and Philo Vance have nothing on Lillian. What she doesn’t know she always finds out. Her non¬ chalant manner causes use to wonder how she acquired her vast literary knowledge. In spite of her indifference toward all things practical, we feel that Lil will make a fine designer. Art-Craft Club; Inde Club; Business Club; Choir; Girls’ League; Cooper Union Institute SIDNEY FINE “Sid” Frank. A. Brackett Never Tardy “Sid” is an ideal student, whose “fine” work proves him to be quiet, industrious, and always illustrious in his answers. In his senior year he had a very sad bereavement — the loss of his ap¬ pendix. Glee Club, Librarian, Vice-President; A Cappella Choir, Cus¬ todian, Assistant Choir Master; Junior Usher; A. A. N. Y. U. PEARL FRIEDMAN Northwest Pearl’s attractive clothes and golden locks cut a striking figure in the halls of Weaver. Speak¬ ing about hair, we’ve heard that it takes almost an hour for Pearl to comb her curls into place. Pearl also boasts a beautiful soprano voice which affords those in her company much pleasure. Girls’ League; Glee Club; Choir; Ex-Secre- tary of German Club Russell Sage LEONARD GARBER “Len” Northwest Never Tardy “Lenny” is always dili¬ gent in doing his studies, for he has desires of spending four years at Cambridge (Harvard to you!). Our guess is that he will spend them there if hard work will get him there, for he may always be seen after school sitting on his front porch gazing at a text book. French Club; Junior Usher; Honor Society; Harvard College MILDRED GEFFEN “Millie” Franl{ A. Brackett We hope Millie wont be lost in the large world when she goes out to look for a stenographic position. Mildred has a sense of humor un¬ equaled by any other member of the class. When the senior girls wish to be entertained, Mildred is called into action. Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club; Ingleside Club Stenographer IRVING GILSTON “Gily” Northwest Never Tardv He made his only mistake when he tried to tackle Cicero, who turned out to be his Nemesis; but as a debater “Gily” will probably surpass the Roman gentleman. “Gily” is always to be found madly doing his homework two minutes before a recitation, or making a friendly bet with somebody. Chemistry Club, Secre¬ tary; Boys’ Debating Club, Vice-President RUTH GLOOSKIN “Ruthie” Frank A. Brackett Never Tardy Ruth’s greatest burden is school. By the way she tugs her books around, her bored ex¬ pression in class, and the happy sigh when the bell finally rings, she makes this burden quite evi¬ dent. However, she mak es a valiant effort to be cheerful about it all. Ingleside Club; Business Club; Girls’ League; A. A. Stenographer MARIE GOLDEN “Goldie” Northwest If you hear a drawl and see someone com¬ ing nonchalantly down the hall — that’s Marie. Never in a hurry and always ready to stop and chat, she’s a familiar figure at all the social affairs. How do you do it, Marie.? A. A.; Girls’ League; Art-Craft Club; Girls’ Business Club Stenography TH€ PORTAL - CLASS 1935 A ANNA GOLDFARB “Hike” Northwest This reserved miss is never to be seen upset; it would take a great catastrophe to ruffle her. She is quick to show dis¬ approval and as ready to show her pleasure. Anna is well liked by her friends. Girls League; Business Club; A. A.; Choir Office work FLORENCE GOLDFARB “Flo” Northwest Never Tardy Florence is as straight and sturdy as a young sapling. Florence also possesses a sort of dry humor which she reveals on rare occasions — and then, many times it goes over our heads. She is a piano player of no mean note, and we may hear more about this later. Choir; Glee Club; Junior Orchestra; Girls’ League MAX GOLDSTEIN “Maxie” Northwest No Demerits Alias Mr. T. Parkyer- karkas. Max has a tall, hirsute, Greek appeal and a well-stocked bag of tricks. He started to be a strong, silent man from the West, but thought better of it; in fact, he has become quite the cosmopolite, what with his Greek and all. Dramatic Club; Chem¬ istry Club; Golf Team; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Portal Board; Lookout Board Dartmouth BEATRICE GREEN Frank -d. Brackett Never Tardy Beatrice is a sturdy sort, one who can be de¬ pended upon. She makes no show of her wit, but nevertheless it is there and pretty keen. Beatrice is one of the few who enjoy the classics. Junior Orchestra; Senior Orchestra; Inter-High Orchestra; Glee Club; Choir Stenographer MIRIAM GREENBERG “Mimi” Northwest Never Tardy “I chatter, chatter, as I go” — no, it’s not “The Brook” we’re raving about, only Miriam. But though her incessant asides are the dismay of her teachers, her attrac¬ tive clothes and person win her the admiration and envy of her friends. Girls’ League; A. A.; Girls’ Business Club; Dramatic Club American Academy of Dramatics ROBERT GREENBERG “Greenie” Northwest Never Tardy Peppy, pleasant, and bubbling over with personality — that is Bob Greenberg to a “T.” Bob is without a doubt the best dressed man in the class. Will we ever forget his yellow tie.? Strange to say, his lunch period orations were never appreciated by his hungry friends. Debating Club; Inter¬ class Basketball; Soccer; Lookout Reporter Dartmouth College, Law HOWARD GRIFFIN “Biff” Northwest “Biff” spends as little time in school as pos¬ sible. The sunny banks of the Hog engage his attention more than the halls of Weaver. Though hes not much of an authority on school studies, he’s what one might call a man of the world. A. A.; Boys’ Club; Treasurer, Boys’ Com¬ mercial Club Insurance JOSEPHINE HAGARTY “Posey” Northwest “Posey” is one of the best sports and truest friends a person can find. Her laugh can be recognized above every¬ one else’s — and you should see her smack those tennis balls around. May you always keep that smile, “Posey.” A. A.; Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ Leader Corps; Basketball; T e n n i s ; Honor Society; Portal Board; Treasurer TH€ PORTAL - CLASS 1935 A ROBERT HARRIS “Bob” Northwest Probably no other mem¬ ber of the class is better liked than “Bob.” His quiet, unassuming manner and his absti¬ nence from rash words and deeds win him the respect and admiration of his fellows. “Bob’s” candid remarks are of a philosophical turn and are probably a bit over our heads. President, Dramatic Club; Vice-President, Chemistry Club; Class President HELEN HEDLY “Red” Holcomb Helen always looks im¬ maculate. This, com¬ bined with her attractive personality and flaming hair, make her stand out from the rest of the crowd. Tell us how you keep so slender, “Red.” What do you do, roll on the floor.? C. H. L. S.; Secretary, Art-Craft Club; Choir; Girls’ League; A. A.; Soccer; Honor Society Secretary HENRIETTA HEFFLER Northwest No Demerits Witih that violin under her chin, Henrietta floats off to another world —• for she’s an expert at sawing the fiddle strings. Art is another one of her interests. Although she is rather quiet and dignified, her charming smile has made her many friends. Girls’ League; A. A.; Art-Craft Club; Senior Glee Club; Choir; Inter- High Orchestra; Girls’ Leader Corps, President Commercial Art DURWOOD HERSH “Dadie” Northwest “Dadie” is as “constant as the northern star,” yielding to the awful wisdom of neither Edmund Burke nor Shakespeare. His curt and fearless remarks explode with the force of dynamite upon the ears of both teachers and classmates. Here’s to a lad who is never afraid to give his honest opinion and to stick by it. Junior Usher Veterinary work RAYMOND HISCOX “Ray” Holcomb “Red” is an almost com¬ plete description of Ray¬ mond. Not only is he the handsomest red¬ head in our class, but he blushes beautifully, showing that he still possesses y outhful timid¬ ity. In spite of his con¬ tinual bluffing, we know him as a sincere and valuable classmate. A. A.; Boys’ Club; Senior Choir Conn. Stale College HERSHEL HOFFENBERG “Hershey” ' Northwest “Hershey” is a quiet member of that rare species of students that can make the Honor Roll with very little studying. He possesses, no doubt, the valuable gift of con¬ centration. He does most of his homework dur¬ ing opening exercises, and makes a point of bringing home but two books a night. Debating Chib; T reas- ttrer, Chemistry Club; A. A.; Honor Society ABRAHAM JACOBSON “Abe” Franks A. Brachett What would happen to “Abe” if he did his homework once in a while.? If we didn’t see him bending over his desk at the last few minutes in the morning, trying to polish off four subjects, we wouldn ' t recognize him. Good luck, “Abe”; you’re a determined lad. A. A.; Chemistry Club Boston University MARVIN JOSEPH “Marv” Northwest “M a r v” manages to escape the whirlpool of class society, his interest lying largely in the more solitary arts of hunting and fishing. We have been successful enough to penetrate his barrier of silence and learn that he is quite an amateur physicist and chemist. A. A.; Boys’ Club; Chemistry Club TH€ PORTAL - CLASS 1935 A SHIRLEY KATZ Northwest Never Tardy If you hear a ceaseless chatter — that is Shirley. In fact, she’s never quiet. She looks as if the bogey-man was go¬ ing to jump out and catch her at any time. Nevertheless, she has her share of gray matter under that dark hair. Hartford Hospital Train¬ ing School for Nurses CAROLYN KLEIN “Kenny” Frank. A. Brackett “Kenny” has a much- admired dimple on her left cheek and a cute lisp that distinguishes her speech from that of anyone else in the class. She is well known for her lengthy debates in Democracy class. Girls’ League; A. A.; Choir Secretarial ALBERT KLEINMAN “Al” Northwest Never Tardy “Al” always greets you with a smile that can ' t be mistaken for anybody else’s, even in the dark. Through his four years of education he has taken an extra subject, sometimes known as “appreciation of the feminine element.” Glee Club; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Boys’ Commercial Club, Secretary; funior Usher; Honor Society; Business Manager Portal DOROTHY KOPPELMAN “Dodo” Noi-theast She has a lot of “pep,” and try as she may she can ' t keep from talking, even after being handed a couple of demerits. She lives to have a good time and isn’t a bad student either. She’s a good pal, although she is running over with superlative adjectives. Girls’ League; Choir; Ingleside Club Secretary BLANCHE KRAMER Korthu ' cst Blanche allows as how we’ve been wronging her all these years, what with our thinking she is serious; she stoutly de¬ nies it. Deliberate and aloof, she pursues her calm, unruffled way through Weaver corri¬ dors—a triumphal prog¬ ress dedicated to school¬ girl complexions. Honor Society; Dramatic Club; Portal Board; Art- Craft Cltih; Girls’ League; Lookout Board Secretary ROSE KRUPNIKOFF “Rose” Frank A. Brackett Nerer Tardy We arc astonished by Rose’s vivacity and vital¬ ity when she is in high .spirits. One cannot help but be aware of her curly IcKks and fondne.ss for blue. Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club Stenographer NETTIE LAVINIO “Ned” ' Northwest Never Tardy Nettie’s amiable attitude has made her well liked by her companions. Dur¬ ing .school she goes for the most part by that motto, “Silence is gold¬ en.” Nettie is always willing to listen, and, we hope, will go far. A. A; Girls’ League; Ingleside Club Office Work SYLVIA LEAF “Syl” Warren Penn. High Never Tardy No Demerits “Syl’s” “different walk,” we hear, comes from the way she dances. Sylvia hails from Penn¬ sylvania, and although she has been here only a year and a half, she has won many friends and much popularity through her good looks and charm. Sylvia has a warm smile, but uses it on only a select few. Girls’ League; A. A. Pratt Art School TH€ PORTAL - CLASS 1935 A ALAN LEDGARD “Al” Holcomb Never Tardy His business aptitude and cheerful disposition will, no doubt, get him further than the position of a mere bank cashier in room 240. Besides being a suitable prospect for the world of busi¬ ness, we understand that he is quite a ladies’ man. A. A.; Interclass Soccer; Hi-Y, Vice- ' President; Boys’ Club Business College SAUL LEVIN Northwest Saul is one of the quietest, most refined boys in the class. His work in the Art Depart¬ ment has really distinc¬ tion. His valuable sug¬ gestions and good- humored remarks about this book have been very much appreciated by the Board. Art-Craft Club; Former President, hide Club; Dramatic Club Produc¬ ing Group; Portal Board OLGA LISKIN Torrington High School A pair of misty eyes, a mass of curly locks, a piquant face — these are the weapons Olga used to take Weaver by storm. However, she shines more on the dance floor than she docs in the class room, although she doesn’t prove the age- old tradition about beautiful girls. Girls’ League Office Work WESLEY LONG “Wes” Northwest Quietness goes with dignity, and “Wes” has been able to retain both through his high school years. He is an indus¬ trious student, and until he meets with disaster trying out original chem experiments, we shall remember him as a good amateur scientist. His understanding friendli¬ ness means a lot to those of us who know him. A. A. Scientific Work LEONARD LUTWACK “Lut” Northwest He can talk a blue streak, work printing presses to perfection, and get himself on the good side of all his ac¬ quaintances. “Lut” can always be depended upon to liven up any gathering. Don’t get him talking about politics! President of the Boys’ Debating Society; Loo - otit Editorial Board; Portal Board, Printshop Manager; Class Orator Wesleyan JOHN MADIGAN “Jack” Northwest Weaver is certainly go¬ ing to miss Jack at first base when baseball season rolls around; they don’t come much better. His manner of speak¬ ing in short, jerky sen¬ tences is characteristic. His red hair has a decided wave which he tries to plaster down, but to no avail. Baseball; A. A. JOE MALLOY “Sully” Holcomb Never Tardy Joe is a boy who doesn’t talk a great deal but ac¬ complishes a lot. Though he doesn’t confess it by his actions, we know he admires the opposite sex. He is one of those silent admirers. However, he’s a good athlete and can take a joke, even though it be upon himself. A. A.; Boys’ Chib Clerical Work, CARMELINO MECCA “Gum” Holcomb School is just one rollick¬ ing sleigh ride for “Gum.” He is wise enough to take every¬ thing lightly; does only enough homework to get by; and shows his good judgment by drop¬ ping Latin just where Cicero got up to begin his harangue. A. A. T rinity TH€ PORTAL - CLASS 1935 A BERNARD MEHLMAN “Bim” Frank A. Brackett Talk about hot music—- the notes coming from “Bernie’s horn fairly burn. Besides “Bernie’s” musical accomplishments, he can talk a blue streak. No one we know can take the physical punishment “Bernie” takes from five cent stogies and get away with it. Boys’ Commercial Club; Glee Club, Vice-Presi¬ dent, President; Orches¬ tra; Band: Choir; A. A. ELIZABETH MILLER “Beth” Northwest Never Tardy Never Absent No Demerits Elizabeth has an aver¬ sion to nicknames — but not to giggles. Her quietness is just a mask, for she does appreciate the humor of any situa¬ tion. She is a good sport and the soul of honesty. Just try to cheat when Elizabeth is around! Girls’ League; Portal Business Board Typist Office Work ELIZABETH MITCHELL “Betty” East Hartford High Never Tardy No Demerits “Betty,” who has not made herself conspicuous in school, has a charm¬ ing reserve. But when she’s conversing with those whom she knows, her enthusiasm and wild gestures are really sur¬ prising. They say that still water runs deep. What have you to say, “Betty.?” Girls’ League Nursing JOSEPH MONTANO “Joe” Northwest His tremendous achieve¬ ments as a lineman on the football team have remained almost un¬ noticed. Therefore, we take this opportunity to commend a modest fel¬ low for his valuable work. Football; Choir; funior Orchestra; Glee Club; Boys’ Club; A. A.; Conn. State College CELIA MOSES “Peanuts” Franks A. Brackett Never Tardy Though Celia can never be seen in a crowd, she can always be heard. Her peppy, jolly nature com¬ pensates for her lack of stature. When “Peanuts” arrives, gloom hastily leaves. Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club Stenography and Book¬ keeping DOROTHY MYLCHREEST Hoi CO nib Brilliant.’ To a certain extent. Dot is one of those cultured and charmingly formal per¬ sons whose conversation is — well, just different. No one has ever found out the depth of her subtle remarks, but all have appreciated her friendship. Honor Society, Vice- President; A Cappella Choir; Glee Club; C. H. L. S., President; Lookout and Portal Boards Wheaton College VIRGINIA NELSON “Dinny” Southwest Never Tardy Virginia is an artist in the making, a very creditable skater, and, apparently, a ceaseless talker. Yes, it must be confessed, a chatterer — but who often has interesting things to say. Perhaps we shall one day visit an art gallery to see the famous Nelson paintings. Girls’ League; Art-Craft Club; C. H. L. S.; Choir Artist, Painter SELMA OFSHE “Buddy” Northwest She has a comb a mile long with which she combs her hair in class, much to the amusement of those around her. She’s going to be an excellent bookkeeper in the future. She can prove that by showing you the silver trophy she won in a bookkeep¬ ing contest. Girls’ League; A. A.; Choir; Girls’ Business Club Social Worker TH€ PORTAL - CLASS 1935 A JOSEPH OLINER “Joe” Northwest Joe is a boy with a gift of “gab.” When an ar¬ gument is started, Joe is “Johnnie on the spot,” usually defending a lost cause. School uproars and revolts are always started by this talkative youngster; an example — the student council. The only time when Joe’s really at home is when he’s tootin’ on his “sax.” Boys’ Club; A. A.; De¬ bating Club; Glee Club; Choir; Orchestra: Band ROSLINE OLIVER “Ozry” Northwest Never Tardy “Ozzy” is one of the more fortunate members of the weaker sex who will never be harassed by diets. Besides her slight figure she possesses a lovely head of curly black hair, and the qual¬ ities which go toward making a good sport. Girls’ League Stenographer RUSSELL PAPE “Russ” Northwest Russell the “Noncha¬ lant,” known by some who envy him as “Old Pappie,” is that boy who is famed around the school for his distin¬ guished and dignified demeanor. He is subject to moods, and when he is not up to scratch where the old gray mat¬ ter is concerned, it is be¬ cause he is not feeling merry. Boys ' Club; A. A.; Boys’ Commercial Club AARON PARNES Frank A. Brackett From his quiet demean¬ or one might think that he is just a peaceful lamb, but we know that he’s really a roaring lion. Nevertheless, when he sees a fellow student talking to a pretty girl, he’s just a butter-inner. Though he’s always out¬ wardly quiet and re¬ posed, he might explode at any minute. A. A.; Soccer Team, 1931-32; Boys’ Commer¬ cial Club Commerciai Business Work BEATRICE PASTERNACK “Bea” Frciiil{ A. Brackett No Demerits Never Tardy A willing worker with plenty of those necessi¬ ties, ability and indus¬ try, to carry her along successfully in all her in¬ terests, she only needs a slight touch of aggres¬ siveness to be complete. Incidentally, she has brains and knows how and when to use them. Girls’ Leagtie, Vice President, President; Honor Society NORMA PESSIN Holcomb Never Tardy Here we have an ex¬ tremely quiet person. She aims high and tries hard. Conscientiously she has plowed through three years of Latin, and soon she will face a stiff course at Smith. Per¬ haps, to be a Latin or history teacher is her goal, although biology is her pet subject. A. A.; Girls ' Leagtie Smith SHIRLEY PETIT “Pete” Holcomb Never Tardy “Pete” is a tall young lady with golden locks and a charming smile. She moves with imper¬ turbable calmness and serenity through the Weaver corridors, seldom acknowledging other people’s existence. Per¬ haps it’s absent-minded¬ ness •— or perhaps it’s height. Girls’ League; A. A. Office Work RICHARD PHELPS “Dick” Frank A. Brackett Although he towers above us physically, he is not too far away to lend us his cheerful smile. “Dick” sustains the honor of a distin¬ guished line of athletes and makes up for the inactivity of our class in athletics by his valuable and untiring service on the basketball and foot¬ ball teams. A. A.; Boys’ Club, Vice President, president; Chemistry Club; Foot¬ ball; Basketball, Captain TH€ PORTAL - CLASS 1935 A EDWARD PORISS “Prof” Holcomb “Prof is a boy who “ah’s” when he doesn’t comprehend; but when he does, “good ole Cicero” would envy his flowery orations — good for a laugh but not so good for marks. When it comes to debating, “Eddie’s” on the spot, but when it comes to dancing he’s never on the spot. A. A.; A Cappella Choir; Glee Club; Secre¬ tary, Debating Club; Boys’ Club DAVID RABINOVITZ Northwest Never Tardy Some may wonder why there’s sometimes a dis¬ tant look in David’s eyes, but we who know that he is an expert in the radio field guess that he is probably convers¬ ing in his mind with some distant part of the world. A. A.; Boys’ Club; Soc¬ cer Squad PAULINE RANDAZZO Arsenal School Never Tardy Pauline belongs to that unusual group of people in our class who are not always trying to make themselves heard. She spends most of her time striving for high marks and takes little part in outside activities. Once Pauline reaches a de¬ cision she will let noth¬ ing sway her from her purpose. Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ League O ffice Work FRANCES REEGLER “Frannie” Hartford High School A nod of greeting from Frances should not be scoffed at, for this fair damsel does not deign to speak to many Weaver- ites. Frances, mussed up.? Never. And we have yet to see her when she was not master of the situa¬ tion. Dramatic Club; Girls’ League Goggenheim’s Dental School, New York City GEORGE RHODES “Dusty” De Witt Clinton, New Yorl{ City What’s the racket? it’s only George arguing with someone for the floor. His lengthy reci¬ tations prove that he has an extensive knowledge of many subjects. They call him “Dusty,” but most of the time he’s making only dust. Football; Baseball; Boys’ Commercial Club; A. A. Northeastern U. HENRIETTA RICH “Hen” Frank, A. Brackett Never Tardy We, with difficulty, re¬ sist the temptation to pun about ‘‘Hen Rich.” We can’t, however, re¬ sist the temptation to call attention to that Pepsodent smile and those curls. But, consid¬ ering her linguistic abili¬ ties, perhaps we should have said ‘‘ces dents” and “cette coiffure.” Girls’ League; Glee Club; Ingleside Club Stenographer MAX ROBBINS Hartford High When Max reaches for his “sax” and starts to juggle those notes, well, -. Graduation can’t come too soon for this lad, who plans to give the musical world a big treat. Junior, Senior and Inter- High Orchestras; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Track Team; Soccer M usic NELLIE ROME “Nettie” Frank A. Brackett Never Tar dy No Demerits “All roads lead to Rome.” What Rome? Why, of course, Nellie Rome! Developing this same theme, Nellie has all the dignity of a Ro¬ man matron, and the earnestness of a mother of the Gracchi. Hanni¬ bal approached the walls of Rome; we wait hum¬ bly without. Girls’ League; Business Club; Ingleside Club Secretarial TH€ PORTAL - CLASS 1935 A ANNE ROSENBERG Northwest Anne is the personifica¬ tion of neatness. There is never a hair misplaced in her coiffure, a speck on her clothing, or a smudge on her person. Anne is friendly to all who are friendly to her. Girls’ League; Girls ' Business Club Secretary LYDIA ROSENBLATT “Lyd” Northwest What accounts for Lydia’s popularity with the opposite sex? Her sharp wit and healthy sense of humor, of course. She goes in for the richest desserts on the menu, but resolves to go on a diet as soon as her sweets are swal¬ lowed. Dramatic Club; Girls’ League; Lookout Re¬ porter; Athletic Associa¬ tion; Senior Executive Member RIVIAN ROTH “Riv” Northwest In a speed contest, Rivian would certainly never be the victor; she drawls when she talks and crawls when she walks. However, Rivian is not slow in thinking. Her natural wit and charm have made her many friends. Dramatic Club; Girls’ Business Club; Girls ' League; Choir; A. A. Secretary DORIS RUBINO “Dor” Frank A. Brackett Never Tardy If gloom threatens, Doris should be called; for be¬ neath her outward calm lies an abundance of pep and cheerfulness which she usually exhi¬ bits only to her closest friends. Doris possesses an attractive pout, but we rarely see it, as her spirits are usually bub¬ bling. Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club; Ingleside Club Stenographer REBECCA SACK “Becky” Arsenal School Never Tardy When we are stranded in reading our shorthand we always look to Re¬ becca to relieve us. Though naturally reti¬ cent, she has a warm heart which hums with friendship for those with whom she associates. We hope that she will go far in her business ac¬ complishments. Girls’ League; Honor So¬ ciety; Girls’ Business Club Office Work MORTON SCHENKER “Morty” Northwest Never Tardy Though “Morty” never threatened to break any scholastic records, no one can ever accuse him of not being able to trip the light fantastic with the best of them. Un¬ fortunately, our red¬ headed friend’s football successes fell short of his expectations. Football Squad; Bas- kethall Squad; Boys’ Commercial Club, Vice- President; A. A.; Boys’ Club GEORGE SEIDNER “Chesty” Frank. A. Brackett Never Tardy Meet the little fellow be¬ hind the smile; for by all the signs of the Zodiac, the gypsy ' s curse, and the devil’s blessing, George’s smile at times seems to envel¬ op him. George wears his clothes as easily and naturally as he does his smile. Track Team; Football Squad; A. A.; Choir; Glee Club; Band Northeastern, Electrical Engineering ISAAC SHAPIRO “I” Frank A- Brackett Isaac is very rarely seen without a radiant smile adorning his round face. Though Isaac fears most of his subjects, French never gives him any trouble. In fact, you can’t stump Isaac on a vocabulary test, because he makes up his own words. A. A.; Boys’ Club; De¬ bating Club; Chemistry Club; Freshman Soccer; Soccer Squad; Senior Orchestra; Band Teaching TH€ PORTAL - CLASS 1935 A RITA SHLOMBERG “Petty” Northwest “Petty” usually is seen arriving at school at 8:29, but she generally has a car waiting for her that whisks her away promptly at two o’clock. Rita is very petite and has a winning smile. She and her friend Rivian are always seen together. Is there a reason. Girls’ League; A. A.; Girls’ Business Club; Ingleside Club Interior Decoration RUTH SILVERSTEIN Frank A. Brackett No Demerits Never Tardy Ruth has a very con¬ tagious laugh that spreads to most of the students around her. She is a very conscientious worker in commercial studies. If you don’t be¬ lieve us, just listen to her translate her short¬ hand notes every morn¬ ing. Girls’ League; Ingleside Club; Girls’ Business Chib; A. A. Stenographer IDA SMITH “Smitty” Frank A. Brackett No Demerits Although Ida is rather quiet in school, we’re sure she acts otherwise outside of Weaver. Ida, until this year was one of the 8:30 A. M. gang, but she must have got a new clock recently, be¬ cause her tardy marks seem to be fewer. Ida is a good dancer. Girls’ League; Girls ' Business Club; A. A.; C. H. L. S. Stenographer BEATRICE SOLOMKIN “Bea” Frank Brackett Never Tardy “Bea’s” eagerness to be a member of our es¬ teemed class led to a double promotion. As her decision to join us was not made until the last half year, she is known to but few of us. The Girls’ B usiness Club serves as an outlet for her enthusiastic spirit. Girls’ League; A. A.; Girls’ Leader Corps; Girls’ Business Club Secretarial Work HELEN SONDIK Northwest Never Tardy No one we know ■— not even the proverbial Eng¬ lishman — is as slow to catch on to a joke as is our Helen. However, Helen’s good nature more than makes up for this failing. She is a pretty good bet to suc¬ ceed in anything she attempts. Girls’ League; A. A.; Girls ' Leader Corps Secretarial School MARION STAPLES “Polly” Franl( A. Brackjctt No Demerits Never Tardy This likable, good-look¬ ing girl left a long line of heartbroken pals in Bristol; and she has started in new again here. She also collects accidents; she’s a real connoisseur. However, she always comes up smiling. A. A.; French Club; Chemistry Club; Portal Board; Girls’ League; C. H. L. S. College NORMAN STEIN “Normy” Northwest School Never Tardy When it comes to glib talkers, Stein wins out. Perhaps that’s to cover up his eternal blufSng. He will long remain the teachers’ nightmare for his pranks and prattle. When Norman is se¬ riously interested in a subject, you’ve got to step lively to keep up with him—that fellow’s going places. A. A.; Boys’ Club MIRIAM SUDARSKY “Mimi” Northwest Never Tardy “Mimi” makes anything she docs look easy. She has a certain grace about her person that seems to keep her continually sur¬ rounded with a host of good friends. “Mimi” is second to no one when it comes to geometry. A. A.; Vice President, Girls’ League; Vice Pres¬ ident, Girls’ Leader Corps; Honor Society Conn. Teachers College TH€ PORTAL - CLASS 1935 A SELMA SUISMAN “Sel” Northwest Never Tardy No Demerits “Sel” is one of the more fortunate girls in the class who has traveled a great deal. If you want to hear her talk, just ask her about her trav¬ els. Selma takes much pride in her mandolin, which she enjoys play¬ ing. She is very easily recognized by her eccen¬ tric walk. Girls’ League; A. A. GERTRUDE TAMAREN “Gert” H. P. H. S. Never Tardy Gertrude is one of the quiet members of our class and yet, particular¬ ly in gym, she some¬ times seems rather in¬ clined toward being over-enthusiastic. Never¬ theless, we have a feel¬ ing that some employer will find her a real asset to his business. Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club; A. A.: le m bership Com m it tee. Bay Path Institute PAUL TISHLER “Tish” Franl{ A. Bracl{ett “Tish” likes to talk, but he keeps that golden mean between saying little and too little. His flashing smile makes up for the abundance — or loss — of words. He can well compete with the giants of the world, be¬ ing only six feet three. Boys’ Club; German Club; A. A.; Inter Class Basl{etball; Senior Choir Franklin Union JAMES TOLISANO “Jimmy” Holcomb “Jimmy” is a talented — but not serious — young man. We wonder how he can pull the wool over so many eyes. Beat¬ ing ab 3ut the bush is his specialty. Let’s hope he skips the bushes when he takes up av iation. If not, his music would be a safer vocation. Boys’ Club; A. A.; Foot¬ ball Squad; T rack Squad; Glee Club Aviation, Music MARCIA TRACHTENROTH “Marsh” Holcomb Never Tardy No Demerits What is the secret of Marcia’s successful ora¬ tions? Perhaps, it is her sweet and simple nature; but, whatever the qual¬ ity, it helped her make away with the spoils at a prize speaking contest. “To the victor belong the spoils.” May you always be the victor, Marcia! Lookout Board; Girls’ League; Portal Board; Choir; C. H. L. S. JAMES TURLEY “Chick” Northwest He found it hard jug¬ gling French verbs, but that didn’t bother “Jim¬ mie.” He liked the open fields of Keney Park and a little game of “touch” better than the confus¬ ing paragraphs of an English essay. A more carefree and pleasing fel¬ low we’ve never seen. Choir; Glee Club; Boys’ Club; Track Team; A. A.; Basketball Squad; Soccer Squad; Weaver Hi-Y College SUMNER TWISS “Sum” Northwest An intelligent, compan¬ ionable lad with plenty of ability for getting places and doing things. He is sincerely desirous of securing the best of everything, but some¬ times hides this fact un¬ der a show of bravado. A tribute should be paid to his determined efforts. Chemistry Club; Class Treasurer; Secretary, De¬ bating Society; Secretary, Honor Society; Portal Board Wesleyan College MINNIE VOGEL Northwest A rush, a run, a chuckle and a chatter — that’s our Minnie. And then the fur’s flying again, with her in the midst, tossing off her ideas on politics, books, or Weav¬ er morons. Yet if you were to scour these portals as minutely as possible, nary a soul would you find who would not staunchly de¬ clare that Minnie is all she is “cracked up to be.” Girls’ League; Honor Society; Lookout Board; Portal Editor; Salutatorian TH€ PORTAL - CLASS 1935 A H. FAYE WADHAMS Holcomb Faye never lacks an escort to any of her classes, and maybe it is those long sweeping lashes that do it. On the whole she prefers the athletic type. With a kind friendliness to all, she is greatly appreciat¬ ed and liked. Senior Choir; A. A.: Girls’ League; Junior Orchestra GRAYCE WADLUND “Gracie” Holcomb Never Late Grayce can always be de¬ pended upon to startle us with a new creation in clothes or coiffures. She has a tendency to¬ wards making wise¬ cracks and bright say¬ ings. Her jollity brigh¬ tens up many a gloomy corner both in school and in the big cold world. C. H. L. S.; Inde Club ADA WAINGROW “Georgie” Northeast There’s no doubt that Georgie has a remark¬ able energy for every¬ thing she does outside of school, but when it comes to her studies — oh, well . . . One of her pet jobs is arranging Matinee Dances. A. A.; Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ Glee Club, Li¬ brarian; Matinee Dance Radcliff — Social Work¬ er ROBERT WASSELL “Bob” Holcomb Never Tardy Whenever and wherever the Hi-Y is having a meeting you’ll always find “Bob.” Since he came back from Camp Jewell we’ve noted an unusual seriousness in his attitude. We know from experience, though, that he has a continual and overflowing love for humorous pranks. A. A.; Boys ' Club; Hi-Y, President; Interclass Soc¬ cer; Cross Country KALMAN WAXMAN “Kal” rranl{ A. Brack,ett “Kal’s two big inter¬ ests arc radio and good marks. He gets the good marks; but his radios have one major draw¬ back — for some un¬ known reason all “Kal” ever gets out of them is static. The same system doesn’t seem to work for both. A. A.; Chemistry Club; Secretary, Boys’ Club; Junior Usher University of Maryland LEONARD WLADIMER “Lenny” Northwest Never Tardy This smiling chap takes great pleasure in dis¬ playing his mighty strength and skill in the gentle art of wrestling. He may be a bristling lion among the boys of the class, but we fear that he is a peaceful lamb in the presence of the weaker sex. A. A.; Inter-High Or¬ chestra; Senior Orches¬ tra; Debating Club; Boys’ Club SAMUEL ZIEKY “Ziek” Frant; A. Brackett Never Tardy Who isn’t familiar with the sight of Sam’s slow, lumbering form at the football games anti around the school. It’s O. K., Sam, slow but sure. A shark at book¬ keeping, he is also an exceptional sports com¬ mentator. He was sports editor of the Lookout, and some people think that his dope on the games is reliable. A. A.; Boys’ Club C. P. A. SYLVIA ZEIKY “Slivers” Frank A. Brackett Never Tardy Whatever the mischief or prank in question, “Syl” is sure to be an interested member. She loves to dance and eat, and can resist neither food nor music. “Syl” cannot be worried by such a trivial matter as school. Business Club; Ingle- side; Choir; A. A.; Girls’ League Secretary TH€ PORTAL - CLASS 1935 A JOSEPH DiBATTISTA Northwest “Joe” is an ambitious lad of ability and energy. But, like a powerful engine idling, his energy is mostly potential. His ability along architec¬ tural lines is well known. The future gen¬ eration will see some of his brain storms — in buildings. His specialty — nay, his hobby — is walking. Art-Craft Club; hide Club; A. A. Architecture MARGARET LEVINE “Marge” Frank A. Brackett Never Late One could never be sad in Margaret’s jocund company. She firmly approves the motto, “Eat, drink, and be merry.” (ium is her delight, and homework, either done or undone, doesn’t bother her at all. A jolly, rambunctious girl!

Judge Perry, a pompous, middle-aged man is eating peanuts with dignity and yet with relish. His wife is gathering up paper, plates, etc. Two young girls sit near, one looking disgusted, and the other rather amused.) Fran (She speaks to the Judge) — Here, my dear, have the rest of the cocoanut milk. It’s just fresh from the tree. Judge — Well, a little, a little. No, no — no more, thanks. Young ladies, may we offer you more? Nature’s own beverage — full of nutriment — Mimi — Oh, Judge! We mustn’t get fat, you know! Faye — Nonsense, Mimi! We shan’t get fat on anything we have to eat on this island. Fran — I sometimes wish myself that there were something besides fruits and vegetables. But the diet has agreed very well with Judge Perry. You remember when I wrote your mother asking her to let you come out, I said that the quiet life we had and the food — Faye — And mother fell for the idea! Mimi — You fell for it, too, Faye, and so did 1. We were so bored with going the same old round of parties and teas. Faye — I wouldn’t mind one right now! I could dance for twenty-four hours straight. Fran — I realize that things must seem very quiet to you girls. I wish there were some nice young men here. But the next island is so far off — two days by boat — Judge — Why, my dear, that is the charm of this island nook of ours! Think of it — being completely apart from the madding throng! No radio crooners — no honking cars — no stiff collars in the evening — Fran — But you still Fke your bridge games in the evening, dear. Faye (Aside) —Playing for peanuts! Judge — Of course, I should not wish to abandon all the — ahem — amenities of civilization, especially when I can enjoy them in the company of youth and beauty. (He bows to the girls.) But you cannot imagine, my dear Mimi and Faye, the relief to my conscience during the year I have spent on this beautiful island. The strain of the decisions I have had to make — the human anguish involved. Faye (Aside) —There he goes again! Judge — I still remember a most peculiar case. It involved three of my old classmates. Ed Mulcahy — you remember him, my dear — was bringing suit against the Seidner-Melhman Cigar Company. He claimed that the smoke from the cigars turned his flaming locks from red to black, and in spite of this nonsensical claim, I allowed myself to be swayed in behalf of my personal interests. Py ii — Now, now, Leonard, we’ve gone over that so many times. Let bygones be bygones, after all. We’ve had such peace on this beautiful island. Judi’e — I can’t forget, my dear. I think how foolish I was in the decision against the Twiss Cheese Company, when Samuel Zieky claimed that there were more holes in the cheese than there were cheese itself. He said he derived none of the advertised nourishment from neither the cheese nor its holes. (He eats another peanut.) Fran — Judge, finish this pomegranate. fudge — Thank you, dear, I will. Sid (The hobo breaks in.) — Forbear, and eat no more.” Shakespeare, get me? Judge — Er-er-how dare you! (He eats another peanut.) Sid — You heard what I said. I’ll knock your block off. Don’t dare eat another bite until I’m through. Fran — Don’t let him speak like that to you. Get that awful creature out of here. Sid —You’d better shut up too. (He takes another bite of pomegranate.) Judge (To wife) — Be still. You’ll get me in trouble. Faye (She collects everything from table and hands it to him.) —Perhaps you’d like to eat the table cloth too. Sid — Boy, you’ve got nerve, goilie.” You’re the first dame who ever talked back to me. You’d better shut up if you know what’s good for you. Faye — Nuts to you. (She throws peanuts at him.) Sid — Say, tanks, baby. Mimi —Say there, are you from Newport, R. I., by any chance? Sid — Is that supposed to be a wisecrack? I’m from de Bowery in New York. Mimi — Gee, really? My, you must be terribly strong. (She goes up to him and feels his muscles.) Sid — You’re looking at A-1 muscles now, kid. Consider yourself lucky. Mimi — My, my! What a real he-man! (She looks up at him admiringly.) (She speaks to the Judge.) —Tsk! Tsk! He’s a mere softee. Why look at my husband. He’s the typical caveman. Sometimes he takes me in his arms, and I can almost scream — he’s so strong. (The Judge looks embarrassed.) Judge — Now, now, dear. You know that isn’t so. If ever there were a strong man, it’s Leonard Wladimer, the heavy-weight wrestling champion who graduated with me in the 193 5 A class of Weaver; and if I may say, it’s the best class that ever left its portals. Sid — Did you say the Weaver Class of 193 5 A. Judge — Why-er-yes. Fran — Yes, yes. Perry is right. Our class has several very successful alumni. Sid — Sez you! Take it from me, it was a punk class. Judge — And who are you to judge, may I ask? Sid — Well, my pal, Leo Caplan, graduated with dat class, and what is he today? A hobo, but not even so prosperous as me. Judge — But, sir, one can’t judge a group by an individual. Why, look at Irving Gilston. He’s the greatest criminologist in the world today. Fran — Yes, yes, and Katherine Elardi is at the head of all the Girl Scouts in the Country. Why, last year, she even dined with the first lady of the land. Sid — Say, you can’t talk like that. Not only me pal, but also me buddies was in dat class. Say, your class has one of the woild’s woist rag pickers. Instead of yelling Cash paid for rags,” he yells, Gimme the rags and try to get paid.” Judge — As I said before, you can’t judge by a few. There’s Richard Barton, he won the Olympic prize for the United States in the Dne-mile run. He’s not the only good athlete from the class either. Richard Phelps is an All-American Foot¬ ball player. Fran — Why talk about athletics? Our class has many alumni famous for their musical talent. Why, Florence Goldfarb has been called Madame Paderewsky. Henrietta Heffler, Henrietta Elkins, Beatrice Green, and Richard Barton have a world-famous string quartet. They also have accompanied the famous opera singer, Phyllis Abbot, in her tour through Europe and Asia. Sid — Yeah, but how about Albert Kleiman, de famous East Hartford play boy? Say 1 could be a play boy if I had the dough. Why, I got class and personality. Ain’t that right. Babe? Faye — That’s right, big boy. You’re one of the nicest gentlemen I’ve ever met. Sid — Oh, you cute kid! Judge — Are you acknowledging that I’m justified in my former statement? Sid — W-What did you’se say? Judge — Now look at Kalman ’ ’axman, the great corpse dresser. He’s what I call artistic. He gives the body a happy, life-like appearance. And my good friend, Jimmie DeLoreto, who won the Nobel Prize for his brilliant research work in chemistry, ’hy that man - Siil (He interrupts) —Keep it in your t’ick skull that your friend C. Claffey is a flat foot, and Paul Tishler is only a fish peddler on the east side. Jiidge — My thick skull, eh? Why, why, I’d knock your block off if I weren’t a sick man. Fran — Perry, be calm, your heart. (She speaks to Sid) —He is so sick. Please don’t excite him. Sid — Well, just the same, Henry Beckenstein is a-a-tourea-a-a — a bull thrower an’ what’s a bull thrower Anyone can throw the bull. Why look at — (Lil enters) L 7 — Oh, I’m sorry if I’m intruding, but I lost my way while exploring. I— Judge — Not at all. Come and join us. We’re only too glad to have company— (He looks at Sid) —That is, the right company. Mimi —What are you exploring? Lil — Why, I-I’m looking for an island that is suitable for my educational plans. You see. I’m a school teacher, but I couldn’t get any work back in the states, and I thought that it would be a good idea for me to educate the uncivilized natives of some island. So fate has cast me here. Mimi — You may rest assured that there’s nothing you can teach any of us. 1 7 —But I’m — Judge — Now, now — let’s not quarrel over such a trivial affair. But, Miss, how do you expect to build a school? You know there aren’t any carpenters here. Of course. I’d be only too glad to lend a hand, although I may not be of much use. Fran — Now, Perry, you’re here for your health, not to tire yourself by building schools. Humph! Lil — Indeed, I’m much obliged to you, but that won’t be necessary. I’ll try to persuade the natives of the neighboring island, and perhaps they’ll lend me a hand. Judge — Too bad, too bad. Had I known you in the States, I could have used my influence and obtained a position for you; but as you know, fate takes its course, and we’re victims of circumstances, cast on an angry sea and thrown about as is the Lord’s wish. Mirni (Aside) —It’s commencing. Sid — ’Scuse me. Ma’am, but do you think that you could teach me and make me almost as nice as you? Lil (She is flattered) —I believe so, young man. Sid — And another thing, if you don’t mind, do you give eats while teaching, or do we have to feed ourselves? Lil — Why, you can’t expect me to elevate your morals, educate you, and feed you at the same time. It’s just the height of impossible expectations. Judge — Excuse me, but may I introduce myself? I am Judge Perry. My wife, Faye, and her sister, Mimi. Lil — And I am Lillian Dramin. Judge — Wh-What Lillian Dramin — not the Lillian Dramin of the Weaver Class of 193 5A? Lil — None other than — but you look familiar, and your wife? You’re Frannie Reegler, aren’t you? Fran — Why, Lillian! How time does fly. It seems only yesterday. Jtidge — Why, Lillian, don’t you recognize me? Lil — I’m afraid not — I don’t recall any Perries in our class. Judge — Well you see — er — I was Leonard Lutwack. Lil — Why, Leonard, of all people. I never would have recognized you. What are you doing here? Judge — Why, (looks at wife) I’m just here for my health, you know how it is. This cocoanut milk does wonders for one. Fran — Do have some. You must be terribly tired and hungry. (While eating) Perry and this — er — gentleman were having quite a heated argument about the success of our Class of 193 5 A. What do you think of the matter? Lil — Why, I believe that we’re all successful today, that is, all except me. (Acts hurt) Fran — Now, now, don’t be discouraged. Think of the wonderful work you’re going to accomplish for the good of humanity. I just k now you’ll be successful in your enterprise. Lil — Let’s hope so. But, truly, there have been a good many successes. For instance, we’ve had quite a few on the stage and screen. There’s the Liskin-Schenker dance team who have already out-danced the Astaires, and Shirley Petit has replaced Polly Moran. Fran — How’s the Sondik-Barnovitz beauty parlor coming along? Lil — Just fine. They’ve obtained a contract with all the large Hollywood studios. (Crash!! Excitement — all run off.) (Max is dragged in by Judge and Sid. Lil immediately takes charge.) Lil —Put him over here. Quick (to Fran) get some water. (To Judge and Sid) go and cut some branches. We must get him a bed immediately. (To Faye) run and get some cocoanuts. Lil (To Mimi) — You’d better hold him, I’ll get my first aid kit. (Lil goes to get kit which she had set down, and then comes back on stage with kit. (She applies bandage to Max’s head while he is still in Mimi’s lap.) Lil — Gee, I wish they’d hurry with the water. Run and see what’s keeping them. No, I’ll go. You’d better not move or you’ll hurt his head. Mimi — OK, but hurry back. (Lil goes. Max looks as though he might be coming to.) Max — Oh, oh, my head. Hello there. Where in H-? Who are you? Mimi — Mimi, just call me Mimi. Max — Well, Mimi, I certainly appreciate your helping me like this. You might be interested to know that my name is Max. Mimi — OK, Max, don’t you think you had better not talk any more? You’ve had a nasty accident. Max — Aw, gee, a guy doesn’t get a chance like this everyday. C’mon, be a sport, and — er — hold my head in your lap. It hurts something terrible. Ow! Mimi —Nothing doing. You mustn’t get any ideas about women in your condition. Why, man, you’re badly hurt. Keep quiet! Max — Gee, you’re swell! Why are you doing all this for me, angel? M ' w —I’d do as much for anyone, even a dog. Max — You can’t kid me. I’ll bet you love me, huh? (Lil enters with water, etc., and starts to fix Max’s head as curtain falls.) (End of Act I.) ACT II (Everyone is seated on the stage. Max is sitting up with the rest of them.) Max — So you want to know how I found out you were here? Judge — Yes, how did you find out? Afax — A little money persuaded the Captain of the boat to talk. Well, now that I’m here, what have you got to say for yourself? When are you going to return to the States? How are things out here? What — Judge — Young man, that concerns me only. Max — So you’re afraid to talk, eh? Judge — My good man. I’m not in the habit of explaining myself, — and what’s more, I shan’t. iax —You’ve done something. I can see it in your eyes. I know you’re shielding someone. Mimi —How romantic! judge — Why, sir, you are entirely mistaken. I’ve done nothing — I’m here for my health — I like it here. — Won’t do. You’re just bluffing. You’ll have to do better than that. Praii — He is telling the absolute truth. How dare you insinuate that he’s lying? Wax — Well, well! What is a beautiful woman like you doing out here? Pran — Oh, I’m with my husband. (She glances at the Judge.) — Aw, my luck. And you, my poor victim of circumstances, what is you all doing out here? Sid — That’s none of your business, yah dumb cluck. Ijv — Now, 1 can place you. You’re Kavinski, and you’re wanted by the police. Can’t kid me, brother. 1 was too long in the business. Diirwood — A jail bird? Why, no, of course not. Max — I’ll give you one more chance. What are you hiding? Diirwood — There’s a big treasure waitin’ for you if you can decipher that map. (Hobo studies map a minute and then runs off, followed by all except Hermit and Lil.) Lil — Come on, now’s your chance. (She cuts ropes, freeing Hermit, whom she helps to his feet.) Diirwood —I won’t forget you for this — and don’t you forget it, either. (They go off together.) Curtain. ACT III (Two debutantes walk on stage while talking, having left treasure hunt.) Minii — Well, I can’t say my adventure is in vain, even if it is passed. I’ve got a man, and that’s more than you can say you’ve got. Vaye — I wouldn’t brag about any reporter as a boy friend. They’re all braggarts and near big-shots. Mini — A Hobo isn’t anything to brag about. At least. Max earns a living. What does the good-for-nothing do? Nothing but impose on other people for food. (She acts disgusted) Faye — He doesn’t do anything of the kind. He was hungry and — er — merely asked for something to eat. Mimi — Well, why doesn’t he get work? Just because we have a nineteen-year-old depression, that’s not an excuse. A person who wants work badly enough can always get it, provided he’s willing to do anything — even if its digging ditches. Faye — Well — uh — he’s fussy, but it’s not because he’s not ambitious. He’s proud and can’t lower himself because of his family’s social position. He even told me so himself. Mimi — Not only does he lack money, but character. Faye — Character? Why, he’s got more in his little finger than that reporter’s got in his whole make-up. Why, mine is sociable, clever, and brave. Didn’t he hit the Hermit and knock him down with one punch before the Hermit could say Jack Robinson”? Mimi — The poor Hermit didn’t have a chance to say a thing with your financially embarrassed boy friend striking him without a warning. Faye — That’s how much you know about fighting. The art of the game is to strike the other fellow when and where he least expects it. Besides — (The rest, except Lil and the Hermit, enter, following the Hobo, who is studying a paper.) Judge — Well, read it. Faye — Perhaps he doesn’t know how. Sid — Aw, I do to. But this don’t mean nuttin’. There’s no money in it. Fran — You never can tell. Read it for the sport of it. Sid — Well, all right. Here goes. (He reads) Know all men, by these presents, that we, the Class of 1935A of Weaver High School, being sound of body and of mind, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament: To the future pupils of Weaver, the class leaves its exceptional brilliance. To Jimmy Ginsburg, the class leaves a bottle of catsup so that he can catch up with the class. Dick Phelps leaves his athletic ability to all future Weaver teams. Red” Madigan leaves his baseball ability to all future Weaver first basemen. Dorothy Mylchreest leaves her bicycle to Jasper so that he may be able to perform his daily routine more quickly. Helen Hedley leaves her dazzling red hair to Henny Thompson and Ed Dunn so that they can pep up the football team. Mimi and Faye — Really? Edward Poriss leaves his vocabulary and twenty pound dictionary to Dave Novarr. Norma Pessin and Everett Anderson leave their quietness to the many boisterous freshmen. Kal” Waxman leaves a dozen skeletons to the Weaver physiology classes. Rivian Roth and Posey” Hagarty leave their sunny dispositions to some members of the lower classes who are greatly in need of them. Isaac Shapiro leaves his French knowledge to Marjorie Davis. Henry Beckenstein leaves his manly beard to baby face George Tulin. Shirley Katz and Miriam Greenberg leave their endless chatter to the squirrels of Keney Park. Bob Greenberg leaves his yellow ties to Jerry Caplan. Henrietta Heffler leaves her violin talent to future members of the orchestra. Lil” Feinblum leaves her fertile imagination to pupils who can’t talk teachers out of demerits. To the art classes of Weaver, Virginia Nelson leaves her artistic ability. Jimmy” DeLoreto and Minnie Vogel leave their A’s to the less brilliant Weaver students. Bea” Pasternack and Rosilyn Oliver leave their ladylike manners to some of the more hilarious undergraduate girls of Weaver. Pearl Friedman leaves her H 2 O 2 to the Weaver chemical laboratory. Dadie” Hersh leaves his never-give-in spirit in English classes to Joe Katz. Paul Tishler leaves a couple of inches of his height to the freshmen, so that they may be bigger and better men for Weaver. Sam” Gelfenbein leaves his radio auditions to Abe Rourke. Sylvia Leaf leaves her sedateness to the wild girls. Leonard Blum and Albert Kleiman leave their business ability to future Portal” business managers. Olga Liskin leaves her get-your-man personality to. the shy little girls. Freddie Dunne leaves Jack Findley his Barrymore profile. Leonard Lutwack leaves his good judgment to — Judge — I! Good judgment! Impossible (Steamboat whistle) Oh, there’s a ship’s whistle near here. Come on, let’s go home. (All run off and in a few minutes Hermit comes on stage looking toward the place where they disappeared. He picks up Will which Hobo dropped.) Durwood — A fine bunch they are running off just like a herd of frightened deer. (He looks at the Will.) Lil (Enters) —Where’s everybody, Dadie? Durwood — Oh, why, they went away. A ship was passing by and I suppose they caught it in time to get back to the States. Where were you? Lil — I’m still exploring the island so I’ll know where to build a school, if ever I do. Durwood — Lillian, do you think that you could ever care for me — that is enough to marry me? Lil — Are you proposing? Durwood — It’s taking a lot of nerve, but that’s what I’m aimin’ to do. 7 7 — Why — er — of course I will, but only on one condition. Durwood — W-what’s that? Lil — You rid yourself of that beard. Durwood — I promise. Now I’ve got a surprise for you. Right between this stone. (He takes apart the stone on which everyone was sitting) I’ve got twenty thousand dollars. I saved every cent of it while in the States, but the thought of people trying to rob me, to cheat me of my money, drove me so mad that I came here with it. It’s yours for the erection of a school under one condition. Lil — What’s that? Durwood — That I’m the vice-principal of it. Curtain. Finale. SALUTATORY The times being so extraordinary, I feel that it is fitting for me to depart from the usual mode of graduation address to make this a plea for the graduates of our class who are going forth to seek positions in a country that has few, if any, to offer to- high school graduates. Our parents, who are filled with pride at having helped us reach this important milestone in our career, feel that their work is done — that this is also a graduation from the peace and shelter of their guidance and help. On the contrary, it has just begun. Our success and happiness greatly depend upon the faith, encouragement, and confidence of you, our parents, in the next few months. When we return from our quest for employment, day after day, footsore and often heartsore, we shall be comforted if our parents realize, as most do, that our unemployment is due to unfortunate economic conditions, and not to any personal deficiencies of ours. When our day’s tramping is done, a word of cheer and encourage¬ ment will revive hope and confidence and make us anxious to carry on. If the first few weeks, or even months, carry no results, bear with us, as you always have in the past; be patient a little longer, and hope with us for brighter days. When you see your dreams shattered, as your son or daughter is forced to accept an insignificant, menial occupation in place of the white-collar” position which seems more desirable, try not to feel that your sacrifices to give him or her this higher educa¬ tion have been wholly in vain. Attempt to conceive of thousands of students leaving high schools who anticipate entering the white-collar” ind ustry, which has long been filled to overflowing. Since we are living in an industrial era, it is to industry itself rather than to the business offices that most of us must look. We must accept this change in the order of things. Besides, the industrial worker will encounter chances for advancement and the possibility of reaching the heights of an executive. Many of our great business and economic leaders started at the bottom of the ladder in obscure occupations, but with all their faculties alert, and with an eagerness to perceive new opportunities, they were able to attain great summits. The standards of industry and labor have been highly elevated, and manual labor is recognized as vital and respect¬ able. So neither deplore nor lament this state of affairs, but value all industrial posi¬ tions, however meagre, as stepping-stones to greater accomplishment. My greatest plea must go to my classmates, who will have to bear the brunt of the encounters and varied experiences of the days to come. If I tell you to smile and always keep your spirits high, after your first few weeks of futile search, you will laugh and scorn my words. But really, what else is there for us to do? If we permit a gloomy despondency to settle upon us, we shall never be able to achieve any degree of success. Our task is not an easy one, but resignation and dejection will hinder rather than further our efforts. Our courage, confidence, and faith in ourselves should never be permitted to wane and ebb. Nothing will prove more destructive to us than con¬ stant brooding and worrying over an unfortunate situation. If we develop the attitude that there is absolutely nothing awaiting us, there will be nothing, and by sitting home and worrying, no fairy godmother will appear to offer us employment. At our stage of the game, we need varied activity to prevent us from becoming mentally sluggish and falling into a rut. Sports, which develop us physically and mentally, are within easy reach of us all. In addition, this spare time, which we may find hanging heavily on our hands, will give many an opportunity to express creative abilities with the tool, pen, paint brush, or needle. The all-essential factor is to keep our mental faculties awake and active; so brooding and discouragement will be crowded out of our lives. I fervently hope that my earnest pleas will receive your consideration. So with confidence in ourselves, and hopes and prayers for the future, aided by the encourage¬ ment and understanding of our elders, we will cheerfully embark upon our life’s journey. I wish to extend my sincere welcome to our graduation exercises tonight to our parents, whose sacrifices and love have made this happy occasion possible; to our teachers, whose guidance, tolerance, and interest have made the road to learning easier; and to our friends, whose good washes have been a source of great pleasure. Minnie Vogel. THE TRANSFORMATION Now, there was a man of brawn and might Whose manly beard was his delight. His muscles made the damsels swmon; For love they’d offer him a boon. But he would not have one of them; He stood for independent men. And so he shunned them one and all; Until the poor lad met his fall. Then he who had so staunchly sworn He would not stand for scoff or scorn. Became so calm, so meak, so mild. As gentle as a tiny child. For when it comes to little Cupid, Love makes wfise men, all men stupid! B. Kramer. VALEDICTORY Every year, the high schools of this nation are turning out future citizens. Much depends upon this younger generation who, now that they are well educated, will en¬ deavor to do their part in the world. The future position of this nation among others rests upon their success and achievements. If they really mean to work hard and not be selfish, you may be assured that our country will retain its prominence in the world. On leaving high school, a person is flooded with opportunities, although these may not be evident on the surface. He may go to college and study for a career as a doctor, lawyer, teacher, or whatever he considers best suited for himself. He may have some special talent for music, art, writing, or drama that can be developed by study and practice. Almost everyone has some particular career which interests him, and if he has a chance to go ahead with it, his enthusiasm will help him to reach his goal. On the other hand, if he has to start earning his living immediately on leaving high school, he is bound to get a position if he earnestly tries, and humble though it may be, through diligence and hard work, he is bound to rise. He should strive to achieve success while he is able, for opportunity will not wait until he makes up his mind. He has received an education and should make use of his knowledge and not hesitate when a chance appears to better himself. Moreover, he is really ready to undertake anything. He is young, full of ambition, and prepared to take a position in life. The present-day economic crisis causes this generation to consider things in a more serious light. They will not be too rash in their greed to get more but will endeavor to work hard and intelligently. Their dealings will be cautious and their purpose not too selfish. Every day they read and hear about calamities and disasters which greed has caused. This serves to strengthen their integrity and will-power in the face of temptations which present themselves, and promise an easy but not truly honest means of living. At such times, they will be fully aware of what they must face if they yield to the temptation. One is not a success even if he appears so to the eyes of others if, in reality, he has acquired his success through dishonest means. At some time or other, exposure will come; his reputation will be ruined; and the disgrace will remain with him till he has made amends, not only in the opinion of others, but to his own conscience. I do not assume that the present generation will provide the turning point in this depression and prevent another, or that they will be better than any past generation; but this present group has been raised and educated in times which make them seriously consider what they can do in the future to avert anything like this sad state of affairs, although on the surface they may appear to others to be not greatly concerned with it all. To those who, in a measure, may have been responsible for this country-wide panic, it has taught a great lesson, but this generation has learned a greater one by far, namely, that success is achieved only by hard and honest toil. Around this our future is centered, and I feel sure that this lesson will be a main factor in keeping our nation a leader among others. It is on the responsibility that we assume and the success that we achieve that the foundation of this nation rests. It is, therefore, up to each one of us to do all we can individually and to co¬ operate with others in an attempt to better the world. A person belittles his own importance, believing that it can’t make much difference what he is or what he does because he is only one among millions. He, therefore, lets others worry about what’s happening, although he will probably be the first to complain when things are not favorable to himself. We must make it a personal task to do our best intelligently and sincerely, believing that this is the way to improve affairs and that we are the ones to do it. Mr. Burke: You and Mr. Holden, by your tolerance and understanding of our weaknesses and mistakes, have helped us to see things in the right light. We very naturally regret that Mr. Holden cannot be present at our gradu ation this evening, and hope that he is recovering his strength during a much deserved vacation. In parting, I scarcely have words to thank you both, in behalf of my classmates, for the part you have played in our lives. Our Faculty: There is a general feeling among us that you have been the navigators on our difficult but enjoyable voyage through high school. Our only regret is that we have at last come to port, prepared to enter the city of life and spread your teachings in the world. Classuiates: Together we have spent a period of our lives, which, as long as we live, we shall look back upon with many pleasant memories. The time has come for us to separate and enter the world to repay it for what it has done for us, namely, for having given us an education. We regret to say farewell, but hope to meet again out in the world which many of us may find discouraging on entering. We leave the portals of this school with an earnest desire to be an asset not only to the world but to those who have reared and educated us. James DeLoreto. Danger Men at Work!

HARPER Forsan et haec olim meminisse juvabit. ' Foreword The die is cast. The 1935B edition of “The Portal ”, still reeking with printer ' s ink and sweat from many brows, is in your hands. We have tried to make this book as different as possible from former ones without making a radical break with past cus¬ toms and traditions. We commemorate this year the tercentenary of secondary education in the United States. In 1635, in Boston, the Public Latin School offered to a few fortunate students the opportunities for an education; today our schools offer to all these same opportunities. So, as a theme for this, your “Portal ’, we have chosen to suggest the progress through the years of our secondary schools. In a reminiscent mood, our illustrators have delved into the records of other years for the material presented in the linoleum cuts which we hope you will like, and of which we are very proud. We have also recorded an important event in the progress of our school through its years. Here it is, your book. We made it for you; we hope you like it. William C. Holden There will be many principals of Weaver, but there can only be one Principal Holden. There is more of Mr. Holden in Weaver than any future principal can give, for from the very foundations his ideas and labors are a part of it. He has brought it from a struggling infant to a well-established educational institution — one of the finest of its kind in the country. It has been a labor of love. Few people can realize his emotions when he discovered that he must leave. The feeling evinced in both the faculty and the students when the news of his resignation was made public was akin to that of the loss of a great friend. The news created a sensation of personal loss, tangibly apparent in the atmosphere of the school for several days. Mr. Holden gathered around him a staff of assistants who have come to admire and respect him with a depth few men can boast. Such following is given only to worthy men. It is a tribute to his leadership, personality, and understanding of youth tha ' t he has always been looked upon as a friend and adviser of all the students. His position has not filled them with fear, but only a sense of instinctive trust. Mr. Holden, we regret your untimely resignation. We have benefited by every contact with you, and we will take up our duties in the world with a newer, a deeper knowledge of the true meaning of citizenship. We are thankful for the opportunity we have had of gaining our education under your guidance. The students to come will lose something irreplacable by not having known you. The class of 1935B wishes to thank you for your loyal and untiring efforts on our behalf, and we, and classes which have gone before, wish you much happiness in the many years to come. Frank H. Burke Over a decade of high school students have known Mr. Burke at Weaver. Many more will know him; and they will find him, as we have, a man endowed with all the traits which make a great educator. His is vigorous, youthful, alert to changing trends both in educational methods and students. Under his leadership, Weaver will continue to rank as one of the leading high schools of the country. We who know Mr. Burke regard him, not as a principal, but as a friend. We have found him always ready with a smile, a helping hand, and the soundest of advice. He is a far cry from the frowning, narrow-minded, cane- wielding teacher of fifty years ago. He has not forgotten that he, too, was once a youth. He faces each problem from our point of view, taking into consideration our weaknesses and immaturity. In many ways he has been an inspiration to us, and his influence will be felt when our days at Weaver are but memories — happy ones. By the same qualities of leadership, friendliness, and dependability with which he has won the loyalty of the students, Mr. Burke has won the co-operation of the faculty. Only in rare organizations do you find such willing accord between a superior and his assistants. Mr. Burke would have gone farther, perhaps, in some other line of endeavor. But only in working with and developing young people could he have achieved the heights of satisfaction; only at Weaver could he have done his best, for he seems a part of it. And if he should leave, something inher¬ ently a part of the school would go with him. Mr. Burke, it has been a pleasure to know you, and regretfully we must leave. We wish you ever increasing success and happiness in your new position as principal of Weaver High School.

Yale Sonnet On My Leaving High School (With apologies to Milton , who should turn over in his venerable grave.) When I consider how my school days are went And that now I go out of this dark school and wide, And that youthful zest (?) which is so hard to hide Lodged with me crying, though my true spirits bend To serve therewith my teacher, and present My faithful homework, lest she returning chide. “Is punishment exacted, if ye are defied?” I meekly ask. But Experience, to prevent That murmur, soon replies, “Weaver doth need Both the pupil’s work and overwork. Who best Bear its heavy burdens, they serve it best. Its state Is tyrannical; thousands at the teachers’ bidding speed And run through corridors and slouch in study halls without rest; In lunch room they also served who stood and ate. — Paul Selvin.

Rae is a girl with all the virtues. She get’s A s on her report cards; she is good looking and popular with both sexes. Her rise from sophomore member to Girls’ League president in three years is amazing. We could rave on and find nothing wrong with her except a propensity for being late. Oh yes, she makes swell spaghetti! Honor Society; Choir; Girls’ League, President; Girls’ Leaders’ Corps; Color Committee. CARL ALTSHULER “Carlos” Northwest. Never tardy. Menschweiden ist une Kunst is this quiet and modest hero’s motto. One, however, wouldn’t think so if he were for the first time to gaze upon the clever, innocent, Roman countenance of the boy whose main interest lies in the German Club and making the honor roll. Those “in the know say that “still waters run deep.’’ Are you holding out on us, Carlos? Boy’s Glee Club; Choir; French Club; German Club, Secre¬ tary; Boys’ Club; A. A. ROSE BARRY “Rose” Hartford High School. Never tardy. What would our famous English class discussions be like without Rose’s epoch-making remarks in the defense of prose. She daily bemoans the fact that such bores as Shelley and Byron never saw light; but otherwise she has no personal grudge against the honorable art of self-expression. Rose has always been in such a hurry, since she was imported from H.P.H.S., that she has acquired a “never-tardy” title. Girls’ League. TILLIE BAUMGARTEL “Till” F. A. Brackett School. Never tardy, no demerits. Tillie has dark hair and dark eyes, but she is not in the dark when it comes to talking. She always has something to discuss. Contrary to an established custom in Room 227, she is always early. This just goes to show you how ambitious she is. In other words, a girl like Tillie, who will hustle to get to school early, w T ill make her way in this world. Girls’ League. FANNIE BERSON Faye’’ Hartford High School. “Many a gem of purest ray serene. When the drought hit the farmer, Weaver adopted our own little Fay. She managed to bring the quiet of the country with her, but that is completely swamped by the more forward individuals of the fragile sex. She has a serene charm all her own which is revealed by a shy yet sympathetic smile. After we say that she has a very friendly nature, we can say that we’ve done right by our Nell.” Girls ' Business Club; Girls ' League. BETTY BELZER Bab Bulkeley High. Never tardy. Betty is that young girl often seen selling pads for the Girls’ Business Club immediately after school in Room 136. This former Bulkeley student once went looking for a job. She heroically dropped this pastime when, after a few weeks with no results, she came to the conclusion that there were needier persons than herself. Consequently, Betty now has more time for theatre going, reading, and, perhaps, studying. Girls ' Business Club. MARY BELDEN F. A. Brackett School. Never tardy, never absent, no demerits. Soft, light hair, skin like the first faint blush on a peach, teeth like pearls—heck! It ' s spring. Well, that ' s an idea. This young lady is not only fair to look upon, but she has what it takes to get along. She won ' t keep you waiting on the corner—too long. A little birdie—a swallow—told us that she is also some cook. Girls’ League; A. A.; Inde Club; Ingleside Club, President; Girls’ Business Club. JOHN BEAKEY Jack Holcomb Street School. If ever you see a smiling freckled face or hear an infectious laugh and a cheer for the Oirish, it’s Jack, whose Tarzan-like appearance has gained him many admirers. He won a place in our hearts the day he sang an Irish ballad for the French Club. At Portal board meetings his favorite saying is, “I ' ll take her.” He radiates enthusiasm and wise-cracks, the origins of which are unknown. A. A.; Boys ' Club; Football; Chemistry Club; Beta Hi-Y, Secretary; Portal Board; French Club; Track. CHARLES BLUMENTHAL “Cholly” Northwest School. Never tardy. Here is a fine young chap, who, as it seems, is another Edward Bok. His great love for collecting autographs has brought him in contact with some of the foremost people of the day. We know not whether Charlie will reach the heights that Bok did, but we do know that he will go a long way be¬ cause of his Napoleonic persistence, which is displayed both inside and outside of school. Boys’ Club; A. A.; Senior Choir; French Club; Manager, Baseball. MARY BOLTON Peggy Northwest School. Never tardy. Mary presents to classmates in general an aloof, reserved and quiet demeanor; her interests are chiefly outside her class. To Mary belongs a rather doubting attitude which shows to her more adventurous classmates that here is a girl who thinks and then acts, rather than one who acts and then regrets. Good luck, Mary. Art-Craft Club; Girls’ League. RUTH BOOMA Northwest. A head of shining auburn hair is Ruth’s crowning glory. This is one of our main sources of inspiration in the lunchroom. We have heard that she is a fine art student and also displays excellent ability very nonchalantly on the gym floor. She also excels in arriving in school after eight-thirty without feeling as though she must fall down and go Boom-a! Arts-Craft Club; Girls’ League; A. A.; Soccer. PAULINE BORDEN Northwest. Never tardy. Pug ' appears to be very quiet at first, but when you get to know her—oh boy! It’s remarkable the way she can always see the funny side of questions in English class; she always is the one who leads the laughs. ’Pug’’ is a good sport as well as an amusing person, especially during her after-school rendezvous. Girls’ League; French Club; Portia Club. MARY BORICHEWSKY Arsenal School. Never tardy. Mary is one of those rare, sweet, young things who does her homework in ink to save her teachers ' eyesight. Her charming naivete and girlish innocence make her Virgil trans¬ lations a continual delight to the Tenth Legion. Although you tried to set the school on fire with your flaming Yankee Doodle hat, Mary, we love you just the same! Girls’ League; Honor Society; French Club. DOROTHY BRAVERMAN Dorrie’’ Frank A. Brackett. Dorrie ' s’’ presence in the library serves to draw the stu¬ dents to reading books and dispel their dread of those shelves of knowledge. She sincerely plans to make art her life’s work. Among her many accomplishments, Dorothy can do the “lame- duck’’ and teach others to do it. She’ll never forget open house’ for the Dramatic Club after the performance of “Berke¬ ley Square. Girls’ Leaders’ Corps; Indeclub, President; Lookout Busi¬ ness Board; Girls ' League; Arts-Craft Club; Choir; Freshman Glee Club. HELEN BRODOW Frank A. Brackett. Helen is one of those big-hearted girls, friendly to the last degree. She is peppy and chattery, an asset to any party. We admire her apple-blossom complexion and the golden glints in her curly hair. Helen has been for four years consistently on the winning end of a daily sprint against the 8:30 bell. Helen, by the way, is a girl whose mind, when she makes it, stays made up. Girls’ League; Portia Club; Girls Business Club; Orchestra; Choir; A. A. ROBERT BRODY Bob ' ' F. A. Brackett School. Bob’s irresistible “Huh’’ always makes his classmates howl with laughter. We’re still wondering whether it is intentional or simply another one of his many attributes. Particularly in the German class, his puns and timely remarks “hit the spot.” Bob and the other three horsemen” always surprise die Lehrerin with their incomparable behavior.” Bob made a good record and helped relieve the monotony of our four years at Weaver. German Club, President; Chemistry Club; A. A.; Boys’ Club; A Capella Choir. WILLIAM BUCKMAN “ Bucky Northwest School. Never tardy. Bucky is a living example of the maxim, Laugh and grow fat. A conscientious chap, he always manages to have his homework ready when due. With a couple of bottles, a glass, and two dilapidated-looking drumsticks, he can produce a heterogeneous medley of tunes after the fashion of Paul Whiteman. Intermittent harmony and his melodious voice pro¬ vide his neighborhood with a diversified program. A. A. WENDELL BURGESS Wcnny Frank A. Brackett. Some boy this Wendell, albeit a bit bashful at times. Some¬ times for sake of concentrated diction he is called Wenny. He plays in an orchestra—we’ve never found out which one—, and we know he can wring all sorts of tunes from his old banjo. Cowboy guartet songs he does especially well. But for all his musical ability, he still gets demerits and other boyish things. Glee Club; Boys’ Club; A. A. GEORGE BYROM Frank A. Brackett. Never tardy; never absent. George is one of the best track men in the state. Through¬ out three years of track, he has steadily brought honors to Weaver. Then, too, George is a cross-country man and ex¬ manager of the basketball team. Besides being a good athlete, you’ve been a good sport, George, and a friend to be proud of. Track Team; Cross-Country Team; Manager Basketball; Boys’ Club, Vice-President; Commercial Club; Cheer Leader; A. A. RAYMOND CALVERLEY Ray” Blue Hills Grammar School, Bloomfield. Because of a great desire to become a member of our honorable class, Ray made a double promotion and rejoined us at the last moment. He is one of the more quiet and re¬ served boys in the class, but always manages to have a cheery hello and smile for his many friends. Let’s all join in and give three big Rays for a swell member. Boys’ Club. JEROME CAPLAN “Jerry” Northwest School. Never tardy; no demerits. Jerry’s charming personality and splendid acting ability was clearly shown by his excellent portrayal of Peter Standish in Berkeley Square. ” It does not surprise us in the least that this Barrymore of Weaver intends to enter upon a theatrical career. Jerry’s handsome countenance has caused many a fair maid at Weaver to sigh. His scholastic record shows his sin¬ cere interest in school work. Good luck to you, Jerry. Honor Society; Choir; Lookout Board; Dramatic Club, President; French Club, Treasurer; Chemistry Club; Debating Club; Matinee Dance Committee. ALFRED CAPUTO Al” Franklin, Massachusetts High School. Never tardy. We are sure that when “Al” reaches manhood he will attain great heights. He certainly has made a good beginning, having already obtained his pilot ' s license. Maybe his quiet¬ ness is caused by his “soloing” so much. Although he spends most of his spare time at the airport, he is very seldom sent into a “tailspin” in the classroom. Keep it up, “Al”, and some day you’ll go places. Boys’ Club; Chemistry Club. LEWIS CASE “Casey” F. A. Brackett. Casey ' s “parley-vous” went over big with every one except his French teachers, getting him into more scraps in one period than Jack Dempsey fought in his whole career. Casey has already decided to enter the American diplomatic service and make France pay the war debt; but his discretion gets the better of his valor. Lew ' s love for arguments manages to keep him both in and out of trouble. Boys’ Club; Choir; Freshman Glee Club; Boys’ Glee Club, Secretary, Asst. Manager; Baseball; A. A.; Dramatic Club, Producing Group; Tie Committee. JEAN CHAMPLIN “Duchess ’ Hartford High School. With an air of aloofness, Jean has gone her stately and dignified way through our four years, and her friendship has proven a fine and lasting one. Jean should be done in soft pastels—something both fragile and precious. Jean had the enviable job of collecting Lookout money in 227. She was an always welcome collector. Who could refuse her least request? Dramatic Club; Girls ' Business Club, Junior executive; In- gleside Club, Vice-President; C. H. L. S.; Girls ' League; A. A.; 35B Archery Team. WALDO CHAPMAN Wal” Northwest School. Waldo is a thorough business man. Diligent, punctilious, and congenial, he will attain an enviable status in the business world of tomorrow. His pleasant mien gained him many friends. Although unpretentious in athletics, Waldo serves his school by his earnest efforts as book-boy.” Waldo is an exceedingly valuable member of the W. B. C. C., due to the use of his fliver ’ to make commercial trips. Boys’ Commercial Club. FRANK CHIAPPONI “Pop Northwest School. Frank, or “Pop ' —he answers to either—is like a rolling stone, gathering no moss but lots of information. He spouts education like a geyser, though you couldn’t compare him with Old Faithful,” and we don ' t mean the song either. Some of those guaint terms in geology, astronomy or some other ology may puzzle Frankie and produce some humorous answers, but we generally find him coming out with the right stuff in the end. A. A.; Boy’s Club. MARIA CLEMENTINO “Wee” Northwest School. Never tardy. Dark Latin charm and an agile wit are Maria’s claims to fame. Not only is she popular among her friends, but she has made quite a scholastic record for herself. She definitely points to English as her favorite subject, and outside of school she likes reading and sports. We all like her mischievous, gamin grin and her dark, sparkling eyes. Here is a young lady who has the determination to succeed, and to get what she goes after. Girls’ League; A. A.; Soccer; Ingleside, Secretary, Treas¬ urer. MARGARET CODRARO “ Margey Frank A. Brackett. Never tardy. Although Margey appears to be shy and reticent, we know the opposite to be true. Appearances are certainly deceiving in her case. She is friendly, obliging, and willing to follow the leader in any fun. To anyone who would dispute this let him notice her sparkling eyes. Margey, however, is a good girl and always goes to the store for her mother! Girls’ League; Ingleside Club; Choir; A. A. MARIKA COHAN “ Midge ' Northwest. Never tardy. Midge’’ might have been the inspiration for the song, Dark Eyes.” Long, thick, braids of hair, and flashing eyes give her a Russian air, which attracts many admiring glances. Although she is rather diminutive, as her nickname implies, her talents are important. Her playing of the violin is not to be scorned, and she has exceptional artistic ability. As a member of the production group of the Dramatic Club she works ex¬ tremely diligently. Girls ' League; Senior Orchestra; Dramatic Club; Art-Crafts Club; Inde Club; A. A. ADELE COHEN “ Barrie” Northwest. Never tardy; no demerits. After the great Bernhardt kicked the bucket, the Fates passed on that personality divine to our own little Adele. Her exquisite performances in “The Royal Family” and other dra¬ matic events forecast a new star for Broadway. Offstage the seductive charm of this petite lady with the unquenchable effervescence keeps her from being one of the quiet and re¬ tiring members of the class. Honor Society; Dramatic Club, Secretary; Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ League; Choir; A. A.; Historian. LILLIAN COHEN “Doni” F. A. Brackett. Never tardy. Diana ' s luscious bits of cooking have broken the teeth of more than one strong-jawed pupil in room 227—much to her amusement and amazement. In spite of her culinary failures, she is the brightest star of our class as far as playing the piano is concerned. She certainly doesn’t have to coax much to get a foot-tingling rhythm out of those ivories. Girls’ League; Choir; Girls’ Glee Club; Ingleside Club. HAROLD COHN Northwest. When the last, lingering moment of his life is run, it can truly be said of him, He was a silent man.” Slow, quiet things, moving imperceptibly, accomplish great deeds—glaciers, for example. And we might liken Harold to a glacier but for that fiery red growth he wears for hair. His doings are as sure as fate, but no one knows the why or when of them until they ' re done. Boys’ Club; A. A. BARBARA COIT ‘ ' Bob” Holcomb Street School. Aha! Here is a gold hoarder in our midst! The Supreme Court will, however, probably be lenient when it sees what an effect those curls, combined with baby-blue eyes, have had. Barbara has a sparkling personality, and her elfin form no¬ ticeably adorns our halls. Although she can certainly not be called studious, she manages to combine business with pleasure very capably. We prophesy that she will be a valuable asset on the balance sheet of the commercial world. Ingleside Club; Girls’ League; A. A. NELLIE CONGER “Elizabeth ' ’ Northwest School. Never tardy. Elizabeth’s enthusiasm, especially in those gym games”, is always evident. She believes that all good things don’t come from heaven; or else those schoolbooks that fell on her from the gym gallery weren’t good. Elizabeth was never tardy. To gain this distinction she advocates, to future Weaver students, coming to school early or arriving on time. Girls’ League. ANGELA CONIGLIONE “ Ange” Northwest School. Never tardy. If she is slight and in a hurry, that’s Angie. Although usually in great haste to get somewhere or other, she never fails to greet her numerous friends with a “cheery” hello and a big smile. Angie is never lost for words, and consequently a conversation never lags when she is in attendance. We will always remember her as the small girl with the big personality. Girls’ League; A. A.; Lookout Typist. EMILY CONKLIN ' ‘Em” Northwest School. Never tardy, never absent, no demerits. What a girl! Someone once said that nothing is perfect, but if ' Em” isn’t perfect, she is so near it that the small mar¬ gin of difference doesn ' t really count. She is an outstanding leader among the girls of her class. She can hold her own in the world of masculine sport—without being tomboyish. She reaps more than one second glance from the boys. In fact, she is a good nominee for the “Ideal American Girl.” Girls’ Business Club, President; Honor Society; Leaders Corps, Secretary; Girls’ League; Choir; A. A.; Portal Board; Baseball; Soccer; Archery; Treasurer Reception Committee. WILLIAM CONNELL “Elt” Northwest School. Never tardy. Elt” is a modest chap whose earnestness of manner, coupled with his humorous disposition, has won him many friends. His relations with the femmes of our class are nil, but we understand that he is severely smitten by the wiles of a lass from the Emerald Isle. Crooning is “Elt’s” hobby, he being a leading aspirant to the throne of Bing Crosby. Scout practice deprives his associates of the benefits of his vocal efforts. A. A.; Soccer Team; Portal Business Board; Reception Committee. ARTHUR COOPER “Coop’’ Jefferson Jr. High School, Meriden. Never tardy. Can Coop knock them for a loop when he gets upon the dance and basketball floor? He objects, however, to young chickens , for no definitely stated reason. Maybe that s why he was able to obtain that job at a Maine girls’ camp. Nevertheless, he might be kidding about objections. He acts just like a Democrat in the Democracy class. A. A. MARJORIE DAVIS “Judie ' Northwest. Margy has, to begin with, a cute little turned-up nose. She confesses that one of her activities is just a calm, un¬ suspecting heart-throb, but she is active musically—vocally, we might say; that is, she sings in several musical organiza¬ tions, and, having heard her sing, we know she is good. By the way, some of her best frends call her Judie. A gift- shopper’s hint: she is very fond of bright red ribbons. A. A.; Girls’ League; Lookout; Glee Club; Choir. HOWARD DAVISON Northwest School. Never tardy. If you are interested in sports, Howie, one of the most fervent sports enthusiasts of the class, is your man. Name your sport—he plays it, and plays it well, putting up a good game in almost everything (with no holds barred or punches pulled.) And another thing: Howie is a good sport, not a sporty guy. Get it, sports? Boys’ Club; A. A.; Football Squad; Tennis Team. JOSEPH DeGRAY “Stan” Bulkeley. Joe ' s proficiency in drawing pictures in 227 may be the first step in his career as comic artist; teamed up with his friends, he might start a three-ring circus. Joe may give the publishers some competition if he publishes the themes he has collected during his sojourn at Weaver. Thumb nail sketch: a wide, toothy grin shuffling down the hallway. RUTH DOBKIN Dobbie” Arsenal. Never tardy. Happy-go-lucky Ruth has the distinction of making the cleverest, most unique, and credible excuses. How could a teacher refuse to accept her alibis after looking into those big, innocent, brown eyes? We understand that others beside teachers have been led astray by those very orbs. But very few are acquainted with a certain serious streak which she keeps hidden under a gay exterior. A. A.; Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club; Typist for Lookout. EDYTHE DRUBE Eadie” Frank A. Brackett. Eadie has set an academic pace which is hard to equal. She has already begun her career in the business world, and at the same time finds ample time to take an active part in many school activities. Pungent remarks are included in Eadie ' s repertoire, although her good nature always gets the better of her. At times when she may appear blank, be assured that there is plenty of mental circulation. Girls’ League; French Club; Portia Club; Lookout; A Cappella Choir; Honor Society; Choir; Portal Board. MICHAEL DUPONT ' Mike” Northwest School. ’’Mike” is the class authority on jazz and presents a fa¬ miliar figure as he sits at his desk scanning the pages of the latest song-sheet. We have heard that Mike is a hard case to keep under control when good music fills the air. Judging from his Herculean feats on the gridiron, however, we would much prefer to handle him when under the influence of rhythm than when on the field. Boys Club; A. A.; Football; Basketball; Baseball Squad. EDITH EARL Hartford High School. One of her poetical admirers describes this dashing young lady as a jazz song played by the Boston Symphony. She wields a swift racket on the tennis court—and off. She is often asked to sing over the radio in her thrillingly low voice. And where acting is concerned, how she “fell” into her role (figuratively and literally) in The Royal Family’’! With her pep, snap, and zip, and a swarm of admirers, she puts Cleopatra and Helen of Troy to shame! Oh, well, some girls have all the breaks! A. A.; Girls’ League, Secretary; Dramatic Club, Secretary; Girls ' Leader Corps; Glee Club; Choir; Essayist; Portal Board; Reception Committee. JACK FICHMAN Arsenal School. Never tardy. The reason Jack is not often seen after school, or in school activities, is his job. Our unobtrusive pal ceases to be qui- escent, however, once he gets a trumpet in his hands. Grab your partners, mates. The maestro is a tooter of red hot tunes. He is also always prepared to contribute a witty re¬ mark or quip. Boys ' Club; A. A.; Choir; Junior and Senior Orchestra. ROBERT FICKS Bob’ Northwest School. No demerits. This is the man we shall bump into when we reach the top rung of the ladder of success. Alert, clever and observant, Bob keeps the teachers on their toes with his pertinent ques¬ tions and opinions. The news of Weaver activities in the morning paper is due to the untiring efforts of this young man. Local papers please copy! Boys’ Club; A. A.; Color Committee; Senior Choir; Glee Club; Assistant Manager of Football Team; Color Committee. BERNICE FIERBERG Bern Holcomb St. School. Never tardy. When the boys first met Bernice, they thought it would be easy when the time came to rent suits for dances, but were they disappointed! Just the same, Bernice is good natured where business isn ' t concerned. After hearing her tickle the piano keys, we can say she is light on her fingers. Her rosy cheeks are another of her outstanding features. Girls’ League; A. A.; Girls’ Business Club; Lookout Typist. MILDRED FINE “Mickle Northwest School. Although not definitely known to be a couquette, “Mickie certainly has what it takes to make the boys eagerly applaud her appearance at any gathering. Ah, and how many of our bashful boys are now thanking her for her helpful hints at those dancing classes in the basement? The causes of her popularity can easily be seen: her personality, poise, and pep. Girls’ League; A. A. MARCIA FISCHBECK Northwest School. Marcia—even her name suggests a few of the gracious qualities she possesses. Quiet, friendly, and thoughtful, she has built a little circle of admirers who swear by her. A judge of fine clothes, Marcia has an air of breeding that sets her apart from the common herd. Although we don ' t see Marcia participating in sports, she is always a faithful and interested spectator. Girls’ League; A. A.; Girls’ Leaders’ Corps; German Club. ESTELLE FOX “ Fox ' el ” Northwest School. Never tardy. Estelle has certainly become rather flippy, and it isn ' t with coins either. Perhaps it’s her perfected dancing that added the rhythm to her dancing fingers in typing. Judging by her original coiffures, Estelle must be rather adept in the parting of the waves. We can add her as another contestant in our ‘‘chewing contest,” when the grand finale comes. Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club; A. A. BERNARD FRANKLIN “Bernie Northwest. Bernie may be one of our burners of the nocturnal electric, but it is this which explains his knowledge of literature. You need but speak to him to learn his worth. A pleasant con¬ versationalist, his opinions are marked by startling frankness. A large number of friends evidence the fact that the optimistic and courageous ideas of this cheerful fellow are fully appre¬ ciated. Boys’ Club; A. A.; Portal Board. JULIAN FRIEDMAN Yud Frank A. Brackett. Never tardy. Julian’s caveman appearance—someone give a Tarzan yell —is a prominent—or, at any rate, big—class fixture. Yud’s” tennis knowledge is a distinct asset. He not only yearns for the tennis season; he earns from it. And his rugged per¬ sonality comes out in everything he does, particularly in his Yuddish” French. A grand guy, if he only keeps his chin up! Boys’ Club; A. A. LOUIS GABERMAN “Lou’’ Arsenal. Louis seems rather modest and unassuming in class, but have you ever seen him in his car, hitting it up outside? We all can vouch for this kibitizer ' s” humorous stories as well as for the fun and entertainment which he provides at any safe distance from school. And aren’t we thankful for those lifts!” Thanks, Lou, and keep the change. Athletic Association; Boys’ Club; Choir. MICHAEL GALLICCHIO Mike ' Holcomb Street School. ‘ ' Mike” can trim” any one in the class when it comes to haircuts. He is also an advocate of strong-arm methods in our modern schools. A slightly bent figure and long strides distinguish him from his fellow students, in the halls, but we do not think that the latter were developed in an anxiety to get to his next class as quickly as possible. Boys’ Club; A. A.; Junior Orchestra. CHARLES GELLIN “Cholly” Northwest. Charley is a hard boy to figure out, sometimes. He is very quiet, in fact, bashful. He doesn’t care much for the opposite sex, or so he says, and yet he has a car at his disposal. He made his letter as manager of the track team and attempted to use this experience as a foundation for his entrance into actual competition later on. This boy Gellin is no half-pint. Boys’ Club; Commercial Club; A. A.; A.ssistant Manager, Basketball; Manager, Track team. VIOLA GESUALDI “Vi” Frank A. Brackett. A distinctive giggle, capable of setting a class into roars of laughter, is easily identified by watchful teachers as Viola’s. H er free and easy manner made her many friends, and she managed to have a swell time in just four years of school. A perfect mania for bouncing into her chair at 8:29 99 100 gave the judge in 227 heart failure every morning. Viola, think of all the ink used for the big Tardy mark! Girls’ League: Athletic Association; Glee Club; Choir. BERNARD GLASSMAN “Beans’ Holcomb Street School. ‘ Beans’’ is our dashing carefree hero. He is modeling his voice after that of Bing” with no mean success. He must have derived his cognomen from Mexican jumping beans, be¬ cause he is always on the go. But still they say that good things come in small packages, so cheer up, little man. French Club; A. A.; Business Board Class Book; Junior Choir; Senior Choir; Boys’ Club. EDWARD GOLDEN “Ed” F. A. Brackett. Never tardy. Drummond must have been thinking of ”Ed,” when he once said, “Life is not a holiday, but a vacation.” Not only is his hair golden, but so also is his jovial spirit. Jollity, mirth, and the desire to tell a side-splitting joke personify Ed. His poetic and flowery manner of speaking is usually appreciated by his fellow students, who have concluded that he is a direct descendant of that famous orator, Cicero. Boys’ Club; A. A.; Glee Club. CHARLOTTE GOLDMAN “ Chickie’’ Dorchester High School. Charlotte is petite. However, being original, we won’t repeat that one about good things and small packages. Be¬ cause of her size, she is “Chickie” to her pals. This maiden came from Boston when a sophomore, but many of us can say we knew her when—when she went to Northwest. Chickie” never hurries. She has that unknown quality, how¬ ever, that will get her some place some day. Girls’ League; A. A. RUTH GOLDMAN “Ru” Northwest School. Never tardy, no demerits. Ruth radiates more vitamin D than one thousand loaves of Bond Bread. It would indeed be hard to find a more mischievious girl. She is extremely punny and delights in teasing her friends with this ' lowest form of humor. A sample—She wants to be called Silence, because Silence is Goldman! Ruth and her four-wheeled buggy can compete with anybody in breaking axles, poles, or what have you. Girls’ League; A. A.; French Club; Glee Club; Choir; Portal Board; Lookout, Assistant Editor. MORTON GOLDSTEIN “Bud” Northwest. Bud is a shining example of what the modern psycholo¬ gist claims that the high-school adolescent should be. As an intellectual he rates high scholastically, and in some miracu¬ lous fashion he maintains a normal capacity for sports, girls, and fun. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why he casts disapproving glances, wears yellow shirts, and keeps his head erect when everyone else runs for cover. A Cappella Choir; Track Team; Soccer Team; German Club; Chemistry Club; Debating Club; Honor Society; Boys Club; Tie Committee. FRANCES GORALNICK Fran” Northwest School. Never tardy. A smiling countenance is characteristic of Fran . She has a very gracious way of refusing the ever-perpetual line of ticket sellers which habitually wends its way through Weaver ' s session rooms. Fran can be counted upon to honor the side¬ lines of any athletic game with her presence. Her business attributes are worthy of acclaim, and she will surely be a shin¬ ing light in any office. Girls ' League; A. A. PAULINE GORDON Northwest School. Aha, we have finally discovered a competitor for Picasso, if w T e care to compare her cagey drawing with his. Pauline can certainly manipulate those art pencils, and don’t her fingers work fast. Many are dependent on Pauline after school for the latest dance steps, and she’s up on her toes when it comes to basketball, too. It looks as though Pauline ' s limbs certainly did right by her. FLORENCE GREENBERG “ Flor” Northwest School. Never tardy. We can always rely on Florence when we want to give our glorified neighborhood-theater a break during the week. That ' s all right, because Flor’’ believes in the song, I owe the World a Living, but just the same, she wouldn’t mind the inversion of the phrase. Flor lives up to the family reputa¬ tion by keeping up with the latest dance steps—and how she can take it! Girls’ League; Glee Club; Choir; A. A.; Basektball. ABRAHAM GROSSMAN “Bud” Northwest School. Bud possesses many fine qualities which make him popular with his friends; but his tardiness habit does not rate him so high with his session-room teachers. Is it night life that makes you so sleepy in the morning, Bud”? He has been a valuable asset to the soccer and cross-country teams, which activities constitute his athletic endeavors. He does get to practice on time. A. A.; Boys ' Club; Chemistry Club; Soccer; Cross-Country. CHARLES GROSSMAN Chas Northwest School. Pour together six feet of lankiness; a rolling salty walk; a tired, drollish drawl; a pleasing smile; and handsome, mascu¬ line features, and—yoo hoo!—it’s Charley. And then, of course, flavor the solution with an interest in art and the stage, toss in a few graceful dance steps, and—yoo hoo!—it’s Charley all over again. A swell guy! Boys’ Glee Club; Choir; Dramatic Club, producing group; Art-Craft Club; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Track Squad. ROSE GIUNTA “Tony” Arsenal School. Never tardy. Although Rose has a tom-boyish nickname; nevertheless, she is quite feminine, despite the fact that her friends call her Tony. She has never been tardy in her four years at Wea¬ ver, for she believes in the maxim The early bird catches the worm. Tony” has been very diligent in her Home-Ec classes, so that she can learn how to zip” zippers and wash non-washable clothes. By the way, Tony” is an ardent sports fan. Girls’ League; Ingleside Club; A. A. EDWARD HAFEY “Ed” Northwest School. Never tardy. Pleasing, practical, and punctilious: these are the adjectives which .characterize this lively chap. His irresistible, congenial nature has won the ardent respect and admiration of all his classmates. A swell dancer, Ed can be seen strutting his stuff whenever the band begins to play. Ed displayed his business ability by his fine leadership as business manager of the Portal. His competence as manager wins him the ap¬ pellation, Efficiency Ed. Portal, Business Manager: Boys Club, President; Chem¬ istry Club, Vice-President: Manager, Printshop; Advertising Manager, Lookout; A. A.; Historian. MINNIE HANDLER “Min” F. A. Brackett School. Min is a very conscientious person. Whatever she at¬ tempts, she tries to do thoroughly. She worries; she laments; and finally she sighs and rolls her eyes in relief after the task is successfully accomplished. And is she shockable ' ? Even up to this time she blushes at the sight of a lipstick! But she blushes beautifully. Inde Club, President; Girls’ League; Lookout, Business and Editorial Boards; A. A.; Choir; French Club. SAUL HASENFRATZ “Hassy” F. A. Brackett School. Never tardy. Saul ' s rough and ready manner and bluff and hearty voice make him a class personality known to all. His masculine humor and masculine activities (take us to New York the next time you go, “Hassy ) make him the masculine powerhouse” he is. His grim and determined expression, although it tries so hard, does not, and cannot, hide the fact that Hassy is a fine all-round fellow. Boys’ Club; A. A.; Football squad. ELIZABETH HAYES “Betty Northwest. Never tardy; no demerits. Elizabeth is a great girl with her own little intimate circle of friends, to whom she is always a good pal. It is difficult even for her classmates whom she knows fairly well to pene¬ trate the wall of reserve she has built around her, but when they do, they find a cute girl with a quiet manner and an occa¬ sional fascinating lisp to add to her other qualities. A. A.; Girls’ League; Ingleside Club. SAMUEL HERSHFELD Northwest School. Never late. Sam is a boy who likes geometry in daily life. Given: Sam. To Prove: He likes to go to school. Proof: He has been seen several times at about 7 A. M. running hot-foot to¬ wards our Weaver. Anyway it’s a good thing that he has decided to become an architect instead of a cowboy; he once tried to show his friends a male cow. Choir; Glee Club; A. A. PHYLLIS HESS “Phil’’ Holcomb Street School. Phyllis isn’t the only one who gets a kick out of soccer. When she comes ambling down the field urging a poor, de¬ fenseless ball along, gals, watch out! Her interests are not limited to one sport, however. She can swat a baseball like Babe Ruth—and basketball, ma cherie! “Phil has no use for gloomy people; therefore you will find her extremely good company. C. H. L. S., President; Girls ' Leaders’ Corp; Glee Club; Basketball; Soccer; Inde Club; Girls ' League; Choir. ALBERT HINTLIAN “Al” New Britain Senior High. No demerits. We have Ars confession in writing that he takes a day off whenever he gets sick of school, but what we have unsuc¬ cessfully though persistently tried to discover is how he can gleefully keep talking into infinity without taking a day off to give his vocal “dis-chords a break. Half his time is taken up attempting to confuse his physics teacher, and the rest is spent in profitably exercising his art ability. Treasurer and Vice-President, Art Craft Club. MARY ELIZABETH HOGAN Holcomb Street School. No demerits. Mary, although unassuming and reserved in everything she does, has become one of the more popular girls in the class (with both sexes) due to her ever-present, business-like, but pleasant, attitude. Her characteristic, fine appearance has led us to believe that she spends a great many of her spare mo¬ ments thumbing the pages of “Vogue.” To sum things up, we might say that Mary has “done” all right. Girls ' League; Ingleside Club, Secretary; Portal Business Board; A. A. MARY LUCILLE HOGAN Lou” Northwest School. Never tardy. ' Lou is the kind of a girl who does not commit herself, for you can never tell where she has been the night before. She wouldn’t ever tell us how she does it, except that she eats and sleeps and does all the normal things. She has a nice com¬ plexion, a handsome profile, and all the qualities that most people envy in one individual. Girls ' League. ARTHUR HORN Nub Northwest School Nub is one of the fast steppers of our class. His sizzling pace on the dance floor would put Terpsichore to shame. In contrast to his musical dexterity, he is proficient in plugging up the forward line of the football team. This husky lad is also adept at stealing the hearts of women, especially little ones. A. A.; Football. NATHAN HURWITZ Nate Northwest School. Never tardy. Damon and Pythias had a mere nodding acquaintance in comparison to the almost Siamese twinship of Nate” and his other half, Jerry. Although we shouldn’t use cliches, we must say that Nate is to be commended on his mellow, cello voice. Yes, indeed, eloquence, intelligence, book lamin ' ”, and music are some of Nate’s strong points. From impressions, we gather that he breaks all his combs. Dramatic Club, Vice-Presi dent, Secretary; Glee Club, Presi¬ dent; French Club; Debating Club; Chemistry Club; Honor Society; A Cappella Choir; Choir; Prophet. GERTRUDE JACOBS Gert F. A. Brackett. Never tardy. Here ' s a girl who admits with enthusiasm that she took a definite change for the better when she migrated to Weaver from Wallingford. Her friends can’t figure her out. One min¬ ute she is quiet, and the next she’s the exact antithesis (usually causing a furor in study hall). Gert is one of the fastest basketball stars of our class. Girls’ League; Basketball. ABRAHAM JAFFEE “Abe’ F. A. Brackett School. No demerits. Abe ' s survival of the ordeal of the acid test, literally and figuratively, will stand him in good stead when he becomes that business man supreme. It is common knowledge that “Jaff“ can always stand a “laff, even if it ' s upon himself. Another attraction is that girl-gathering appeal. Who knows but that there is a wager as to whether he acquired that grin before a mirror or naturally. Business Manager of Lookout; Choir; French Club; Glee Club; A. A.; Junior LIsher; Boys ' Club. HENRY KAMINS “Henny ' Washington Street School. “Henny,’’ besides being one of the most slippery backs ever to fight for the Green and White, is also adept at swishing the hoop from all corners of the floor and belting the horsehide far and often. Because of his manly physique and aforesaid athletic prowess, “Henny ' ' always rates high with the fairer sex. And how he glories in it! A. A.; German Club; Baseball; Football; Basketball. ANN KAMINSKY Arsenal School. Ann is a very tiny girl with brown eyes and curly hair. She wears good-looking clothes and walks with a sophisticated stride. Ann is another one of those people who falls out of the wrong side of the bed in the morning and then wonders why she is late for school. Another of her assets: she is a good dancer. Girls’ League; Girls’ Glee Club; Choir. MARTIN KARN ‘‘Marty’’ James Monroe High, New York. Close contact with the New York night life, we believe, is largely responsible for the ever-increasing store of theatre- stubs in “Marty’s ' pockets. Because of his changing moods, he has become our class enigma, for, despite his jovial mo¬ ments, he has an introspective mind. “Marty’’ sometimes croons his singing lessons in his car in the charmed company of ad¬ miring maidens. A. A.; Baseball. MARCIA KAROTKIN Northwest School. Never tardy. Marcia surrounds herself with a cloak of logic without be¬ coming wrapped up in it. Although she is not easily shocked, she is nevertheless a good listener. She is fully capable of holding her own in an argument and knows the answers to most of the questions. But for some unfathomable reason, Mar¬ cia can never fully explain some of her wild dreams of the night before. Girls’ League; Choir; A. A. MURIEL KASOV Northwest School. Muriel may be called a delightful conglomeration of wit, seriousness, silliness, and brilliance. Very strange occupations, such as drawing funny situations, and taking squeaks out of doors by removing the teachers’ identification cards, are her downfall. Her forte is reading what it takes nerve to attempt and real depth of knowledge to comprehend. We cannot put on paper just what Muriel’s laugh does; but, anyway, we like it. Girls’ League; A. A.; Lookout, Editor-in-Chief; Girls’ Leaders’ Corps, Vice-President and Treasurer; Choir; Portal Board; Testatrix. MALCOLM KATZ Central High School, Springfield, Massachusetts. Never tardy, no demerits. “Mai’’ may not be a “fiddler’’ by profession, but he cer¬ tainly likes to “fiddle about with some of the most odorous of gases. It is reported that he is so enveloped in his study of chemistry that he is now working on one of the unknown elements, and intends to honor his alma mater by naming it “Weaverino. “Mai’s’’ gurgling but pleasant laughter and his heart-rending talks on how to reduce are only two reasons for his popularity. A. A.; Chemistry Club; Treasurer; Boys’ Club. MORTON KATZ Mortimer” Northwest School. Never tardy. “Mortimer is always bubbling over with “bright sayings, not to mention his other forms of humor and his “Katzy im¬ personations. Some day he says he ' ll write a book about his experiences—or were they really experiments—in the chemistry laboratory. The title will be “Adventures in Chemistry, or The Trail of the Broken Test-Tubes. More power to you, “Mort.” A. A.; Boys’ Glee Club; Lookout, Editorial Board; Dra¬ matic Club; Honor Society. JAMES KEATING Jimmy ' ' Northwest School. A true son of Erin is this merry youth. A jovial nature, revealed by his sunny smile and happy demeanor, is one of Jimmy’s ' ' best assets. His languid remarks in class produce hysterical laughter among his classmates. As a procrastinator, Jimmy is supreme. Yet he always manages to keep abreast of his class in scholastic accomplishments. A popular member of the Hi-Y, Jimmy’s gaiety is infectious. Boys’ Club; Soccer Team; A. A. ELSIE KEEGAN “El” Northwest School. Never tardy. Elsie is one of the quietest and most pleasantly reserved members of our class. One is impressed by her gentleness and sincerity. To those who know her well, however, she is quite friendly and jolly. Her joviality is perennial, and her abundant good-nature brightens our thorny path. An amiable student, she is also a conscientious one, and always managed to have her lessons prepared on time. Girls ' League; Ingleside Club; A. A. LEONA KEEVERS Holcomb Street School. Leona has no nickname, which seems very strange to us, for it is high-time one of her many friends devised an appro¬ priate moniker” for her. She is overflowing with personality (plus), and her high-pitched hearty laugh is familiar to most of us. She always manages, however, to rank high in the scho¬ lastic standings, probably due to the conscientiousness which marks everything she does. Girls ' League; A. A.; Ingleside Club. MARGARET KELLY ' Peggy” Immaculate Conception. Did you ever see a quiet, shy maiden of short stature, with dark curly hair and a pleasing voice, who wears, of all things, sweat shirts? Well, our Peggy’s reputation will not be taken down even a peg if we do tell that she has a peculiar liking for masculine garments. According to all reports, Peggy” likes dancing, and, above everything else, home economics. Girls’ League; A. A. MARY KELLY Kelly” Northwest School. This colleen is always being called upon to contribute her time and ability to club committees. She likes reading, though she never received any noticeable enjoyment from her House of Seven Gables assignments. Mary has had a lot of time on her hands as an upper senior, because her operation has pre¬ vented her from taking gym, while schedule trouble has thwarted her zealous efforts to substitute Hygiene. Girls’ League; A. A.; Ghemistry Club; Girls’ Business Club; Tennis; Soccer; Ribbon Committee. BERNICE KELMAN Bern Frank A. Brackett. The eyes have it, and Bern” has them. She is one girl who is agreeable to all. Bernice is true in her friendship, and consequently her friends have the greatest regard for her. Her faults are too slight to mention, but we cannot forgive her man¬ ner of gum chewing in Latin class. Among her accomplish¬ ments is the ability to play the piano well and to ride horseback not so well. Girls’ League; A. A.; Chemistry Club; German Club; Look¬ out Editorial and Business Boards; Ribbon Committee. LESTER KELTING Les Frank A. Brackett. A party with Les numbered among those present will never be dull. His versatility as an entertainer and his quick -—it must be Irish—wit are always sure to bring a laugh. Life for Les should not be dull. He cultivates a variety of in¬ terests in the fields of science, mechanics, and sports. With all these hobbies, Les should have no trouble choosing a voca¬ tion. A job? Oh! skip it. Debating Club; Boys ' Club; Chemistry Club; Track; Cross Country; A. A. ANNA KEMP Annabel Holcomb Street School. Never tardy. Annabelle is the sort of a girl who is always a pleasure to have around. She is accommodating in her ways and very dutiful in undertaking tasks which have been orphaned by her more frivolous classmates. Her baby doll face, framed by blond locks, is mobile in its expressions, conveying either stern¬ ness or pleasure, but mostly pleasure. Girls’ League; A. A.; Ingleside Club. ROBERT KENNEDY “Bob” Northwest School. Never tardy. Bob’ is the result of a compound involving the blending of pep, poise, and personality. His ready grin and jocose ob¬ servations provoke paroxysms of laughter on every side. This facetious lad is an excellent member of the Cross-Country team of our institution and displayed his dauntlessness in this pursuit. Bob has a way with the girls, too. A. A.; Inde Club; Boys’ Commercial Club, Vice-President; Boys’ Club; Cross-Country; Track Team. SIDNEY KESSLER Kess” Frank A. Brackett. No demerits. “Kess,” with his daily paper, is one of the class institutions but we could never understand why Kess,” as a good radical, read such conservatism as The New York Times. Perhaps he doesn’t want to climb the soap-box yet, or can’t he realize his ambition and grow a real, red beard? Boys’ Club; A. A.; Junior Glee Club; Lookout. RUDOLPH KIRCHEIS Rudy” Stuyvesant High School, New York. Never absent. The greater part of Rudy’s time is spent in the great outdoors, he being quite adept in the solitary pastimes of hunt¬ ing and fishing. This probably explains his ever-present Ruddy complexion. He took time out from these diversions, however, to attain the heights as a high-jumper on the track team. He is not a hunt her though, being wise probably to the wiles and woolies” of the weaker sex. A. A.; Track Team. BESSIE KLEIMAN “Betty F. A. Brackett. Never tardy. Betty’s trade mark, theme song, or what-have-you, is an effervescent giggle. The question is, however, where does she get so many things to laugh at? But this characteristic makes her all the more amiable. In school she seems to be busy with her school-work, but we understand that outside of school the Ivy Club claims her attentions. Girls’ League; Choir. FAY KLEIMAN Northwest. Beneath that amber crop of hair, Fay possesses an active cerebrum and cerebellum. She never bothered to put them on exhibition, but little witticisms and pungent remarks disclose a vital sense of humor. She is one of the few people who hon¬ estly enjoy concerts and art exhibitions. Her sensitivity to surroundings and people, her brilliant vitality and an extraor¬ dinary power of words point the way to a shining literary future. Girls ' League; A. A.; Choir; Glee Club; C. H. L. S.; French Club. MORRIS KLEIN “Chuck East Hartford High. No demerits. Morris has been at Weaver only a year, but he has become so well known that even the faculty will miss him after gradu¬ ation. In fact, he can even walk into school after 8:30 A. M. like an old veteran. He spends most of his spare time trying to collect dues for the French Club, curling his long blue beard, and doing the right French assignment on the wrong night. Chemistry Club; French Club, Treasurer; A. A.; Boys’ Club. RENA KRANE Northwest School. Never tardy. Rena’s leisure time is well taken up with dancing and danc¬ ing partners. When not studying, which is, naturally, often, she is seen strolling up Albany Avenue in other company. Rena reached the surprising climax of her life when she re¬ ceived the highest mark of her class in the experimental, monthly English exam that upset Weaver ' s equilibrium. Now that she is leaving Weaver, she intends to startle the business world. Freshman Glee Club; Girls’ Business Club; A. A.; Girls’ League. JACK KRIWITSKY “ Yankle Northwest School. Never tardy. A spot—but no, a universe! “A dot—but no, a constellation!” Jack is the Einstein of our class. Give him a laboratory with chemicals and materials for experiments, and he is in heaven! Not only is he a chemical wizard, but he is intensely interested in physics and other forms of science. When he is not busy attacking Nature’s secrets, you will probably find him enthused over some activity of the Amity-Y” in which he is a devoted and lively member. French Club; Chemistry Club; Boys’ Club; A. A. BERNARD KRUH Bernie Frank A. Brackett. Bernie, the personality kid of our class because of his very line sense of humor and that broad, southern, sunny smile cul¬ tivated in Florida, is one of our most popular classmates. Al¬ though not frequently seen overburdened with books, Bernie’’ manages to attain some very enviable grades; he was also a member of that memorable Tenth Legion of 1934. Inside and outside of school he is one of the finest sports, and a true “Orlando amongst the weaker sex. French Club; Boys Club; A. A. ANN LANDERMAN Frank A. Brackett. Never tardy. Anna is not the sort of girl who would elbow her way through a crowd, but she gets there just the same. Her fea¬ tures are something to write home about: her eyes are big and brown, and her skin is the kind that soap manufacturers use for advertisements. Although she is quiet and non-demonstra¬ tive, she likes her pleasures and is an enjoyable companion. Girls’ League; Ingleside; A. A. DANIEL LANZA Danny’ Frank A. Brackett. Danny” is one of those people who makes the most of his ten fingers and two arms. When he’s on the diamond, fighting for dear, old Weaver, his sturdy hurling arm mows down all opposition. And when he starts wiggling pencils, there are few who can touch him in art ability. Danny’s pet aversion is driving cars when he has to do so, for his big brother. Portal Board. RUTH LASCHEVER Frank A. Brackett. A swell sport: these are the most appropriate words we could possibly find to describe Ruth. She is one of those few trying to get all she can from her high school education—and succeeding beautifully. She does all her work with a smile, and often with a giggle; she invariably has a kind word for everyone; and she has one of the cheeriest dispositions in the class. Portia Club; Lookout, Editor-in-Chief; Honor Society; Chemistry Club; Girls’ League; Portal Board; A. A.; French Club; Motto Committee. RUTH LAUBENSTEIN Rudy Northwest School. Never tardy; no demerits. If you ever see a car speeding down Ridgefield Street any day after school, it’s Ruth, breaking all records with her Lizzie. She displays a great deal of good taste in her clothes, espe¬ cially her brown, checked, Clark Gable jacket. Even though we have known her for more than four years we have never found out much about her private life. A little of the mys¬ terious element, what say? Girls’ League; A. A. JAMES LAUGHLIN, JR. Jimmie St. John ' s, Watertown, Connecticut. Never tardy. “Jimmy” is Weaver s best ambassador to no place in par¬ ticular (remember Berkeley Square”). He is very poetic and dotes on writing poems about war. “Jimmy” was the originator of the one and only war rumor that ever traversed Weaver’s stately halls. Being one of the best dancers in the class, “Jimmy’’ manages to keep things going, no matter where he is. Dramatic Club; Boys’ Club; Inde Club, Vice-President, Treasurer; Boys’ Commercial Club; Editorial Board, Lookout; Matinee Dance Comittee; A. A. MARIE LAVINIO Mary Northwest School. No demerits. “Mary” is a living picture of gracious dignity. A sincere lass, she also possesses a congenial disposition which gained her many friends. Her ability as a clothes-maker resulted in the creation of many unique gowns of elaborate style. The guiding spirit of the Ingleside Club, she is also a dexterous dancer, and would rather warm her toes on a dance floor than before the domestic fire. Girls’ League; A. A.; Ingleside Club, President. WINIFRED LAW “ Winnie Northwest School. Whether she waxes dramatic in “Berkeley Square,” or draws a sensitive bow across the strings of her violin, “Win¬ nie’s” performance makes a hit. Her idealistic and emotional nature is reflected in her dark eyes and bright earrings. She can usually be found extolling the virtues of a bit of poetry or talking about “Esquire” or “The New Yorker” in her lo¬ quacious and fluent manner. A delightful sense of humor and quick wit make her a brilliant conversationalist. Junior Orchestra; Senior Orchestra, Concertmaster; Inter- high Orchestra; Dramatic Club; Portal Board. ELEANOR LERNER “El” Northwest. Never tardy. Eleanor ' s lovely hair never fails to make us think that she might fit into the role of Goldilocks very nicely. She usually speaks very softly, and we have yet to hear her voice above the rest when she is in a group. For such a small girl, she has an extraordinarily big heart, and she is one of the staunchest of friends. Freshmen Glee Club; Choir; Girls’ League. RUTH LEVEN “ Ruthie” Northwest School. Never tardy. Ruth’s metaphysical tendencies are almost unparalleled; not only is she the best bridge player of the French Class bridge club, but she even drives from West Hartford every morning to attend the school of schools. This fair damsel’s activities at Weaver are wide and varied, and her chief sources of recrea¬ tion are ping-pong, auto games, and improving her reper¬ toire of witticisms. Girls’ League; A. A.; Girls’ Leaders, President; Ribbon C ommittee, Chairman; Portal Board. GILBERT LEVERE “Gil” Assumption College. Never absent. May we say that the modest reserve and even disposition of this chap is noticeable at all times. Gill is a fine blend of serious purpose and congeniality. He has distinguished him¬ self in athletics as one of our Cross-Country stalwarts. He is also a valuable member of the track team. His untiring efforts as a member of the Business Board of the Portal exemplify his capability in this respect. Lookout, Editorial Board: Portal, Business Board; Boys’ Club; Cross-Country; Track Team; A. A. SARA LEVINE Northwest School. Never tardy, no demerits. Weaver’s Honor Roll and Sara are old and familiar com¬ panions. She craves dancing, and does her best to satisfy this craving. She has had to skimp her school activities to keep up with her out-of-school interests. She wants to be—of all things —a school ma’am. We re nosey about her Boston interests. Girls ' League; A. A.; Portal Board; Honor Society. SAUL LEVINE Saulie Northwest School. Saul ' s fame for his musical ability has spread far and wide during his four years at Weaver. In later years, when we see Saul and his boys in some movie mag,’’ we poor menials can say with pride, I knew him when. And by the way, Saul, are those frequent sojourns to New London also in the line of music? We wonder! Inter-high Orchestra; Senior Orchestra; Glee Club, Vice- President; Football; Band Leader; Basketball; German Club; Boys’ Club; A. A.; Marshal. NATHALIE LIEBMAN Natty’’ Northwest School. Never tardy. Natty is a member of that group of girls who don’t ap¬ pear to pay much attention to the trials and tribulations of Weaver, and whose radius of interests does not encircle the school. However, her engaging smile and keen wit have made her extremely well-liked among those who know her. We have also heard that she’s a great dancer, and very popular. Inde Club; Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ League; A. A. HOWARD LINDSAY Howie’’ State Trade. Howie is suspected of having adopted an extra subject during his stay in school which is sometimes known as Appre¬ ciation of the Fairer Sex ; and he certainly uses his Dick Powell features to good advantage to inveigle ' em. We won¬ der how he keeps his happy-go-lucky spirit in check when with the Naval Reserves. Unfortunately, however, his football as¬ pirations took a tumble. A. A.; Boys’ Club; Hi-Y. HENRIETTA LIPPMAN M it zi’’ Northwest School. Never tardy, no demerits. Even with the nickname of Mitzi” we feel pretty sure we won’t find her name in the chorus of a burlesque show or pierc¬ ing the headlines of a Bridgeport Herald. She is a well-read person, although she claims to enjoy sleeping and eating in her spare moments. Mitzi’s favorite sport is ice-skating. In fact they say she sits around all year long waiting for the ice to freeze. Girls’ League; A. A.; Girls’ Tennis Team. MARY MALLEY Northwest School. Many people have mistaken Eileen, because she really isn’t two feet above sea level, even though her nose is pertly re- troussee. But, judging from her long list of friends, she has cer¬ tainly lived down this handicap. Years ago Eileen used to ride a bicycle, but now she has been promoted to automobiles. She has made an admirable record for herself in gym, and is looked upon as one of the class ' s best sportswomen. Girls’ Leader Corps, President; French Club; Interhigh Art; A. A.; Girls’ League; Soccer; Tennis; Baseball. ROBERT MANNING “Bob” Plainville High School. Never tardy. “Bob’’ is one of those rare persons who has a true mathe¬ matical mind. Many a dull student of “trig” and “solid” is relieved from his agonies by Bob’s” willingness to help. Ru¬ mor has it that “Bob” is now trying to disprove Einstein ' s newest theory. Although quiet and pensive most of the time, “Bob” does once in a while show that touch of deviltry he possesses. Boys ' Club; A. A. THOMAS MANNING “Tommy” Northwest. “Tom’s” presence is always in demand, and it is difficult to determine whether he is more popular with the fair or with the not-so-fair sex. Possessing good looks and a vivacious smile, this cherubic-featured individual is the personification of congeniality and charm. Although a prominent participant at social activities, “Tom” manages to maintain a fair scholastic average. Football squad; Basketball squad; Boys ' Club; A. A.; Foot¬ ball Manager; Reception Committee, Chairman. MARBERT MARGOLIN “Bob ' Classical High School, Providence, R. I. (1933). By the divine will of Providence, “Bob” is amongst us. That kind city dropped him into our laps in the year 1934. Although small in stature, he is easily recognized by a shock of black curly hair and an incurable propensity for back-slap¬ ping. But he ' s a jolly good fellow. Sh-sh, we re going to let the cat out of the bag: “Bob” has an outside interest—the de¬ lightful hobby of raising little white mice! A. A. WILLIAM MELLEY “Bill” St. Joseph’s Cathedral. Never tardy. “Bill is what is commonly termed “a regular fellow.” He is a clean-cut, modest chap whose fresh, wholesome spirit is one to be admired. Bill is best known for his perennially cheerful disposition and sportive mien. Despite his usual jo¬ viality, this lad is intensely serious toward his studies. Bill displays his business ability as an itinerant pedlar of the current periodical known as the Times. A. A.; Boys’ Club. RITA MERLET “Ritzy ' Northwest School. Rita is different! There is a twinkling Frenchiness about her gestures and her walk; even her voice has a sparkle which sets her favorably apart from all. Light and ephemeral, she often squelches her beefier classmates by calmly explaining to them their math problems. Gifted with a sparkling low voice, she has already charmed radio listeners, and plans to send her golden voice over the ether again. Girls’ League; Choir; French Club; A. A. EDWARD MULCAHY “Red St. Patrick’s School. Very appropriately Edward is nicknamed ’’Red ’—prob¬ ably because his hair is red. He is good-natured and joke- loving and is a creator of great—if impractical,—theories. He could have rivaled Euclid or Einstein. He has the makings of a great Philadelphia lawyer. He has provided us with laughter and amusement for the past four years. MARY MULLANEY East Hartford High School. Never tardy; no demerits. Mary is a real outdoor girl, and regardless of the season, she prefers the great open spaces to the more comfortable con¬ fines of indoors. She enjoys long walks and is a very fine swimmer. When not outdoors, Mary’s chief passion is danc¬ ing. In spite of all these activities, however, she has managed to obtain grades high enough to rank her among the select. Girls’ League, A. A. EDITH McCABE Mike’’ Frank A. Brackett. When we catch but a glimpse of a girl walking down the hall, the epitome of nonchalance, we look no more. Who could it be but Edith? Her lazy friendliness and cheerful man¬ ner have won her many a pal throughout the school. Edith is a fine girl to have in your crowd, because her cheerfulness is the sort which always starts things going. Soccer; Basketball. MARGERY McCRAY “Bonnie’’ Dr. James H. Naylor. “Bonnie’’ is one of those lucky girls who, besides being attractive and clever, are also very entertaining. She started out in her freshman year to be reticent and retiring, but after reaching full stature as a senior, she has become quite sophis¬ ticated. What with her black hair and dancing blue eyes, “Marge’’ certainly is Bonnie! A Capella Choir; Girls’ Glee Club, President; French Club; A. A.; Senior Choir; Girls’ League. grace McDonald Holcomb Street School. Never tardy; no demerits. Many a [lower is born to blush unseen And waste its sweetness upon the desert air.” Quiet, reserved, and dignified, Grace has been the living example of these famous lines. Yet, her dry wit and barbed humor are effective among her friends. Because of her willing¬ ness to cooperate, she was always a welcome companion in our clubs and our athletic activities. Girls ' League; Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ Leaders’ Corps. muriel McIntyre St. Joseph’s. Although Muriel is non-assertive, the Lookout owes many thanks to her for the interesting and well-written features which she has contributed. She has a certain knack for taking a few words and producing a full-grown article. Although Muriel is quite uncommunicative and shy to strangers, she is friendly and never hoards a smile. Lookout Board, Editor-in-Chief; Girls’ League. ROGER NEARING “Rog” Holcomb Street School. Never tardy. Rog is the boy who accomplishes a great deal by saying very little. He is a self-named ‘woman hater,’ but we suspect that he stands quietly in the background and looks ’em over with carefully concealed pleasure. He’s a good athlete, how¬ ever, but confined his endeavors to the rugged pastime of foot¬ ball, being quite a familiar figure on the athletic field during the fall season. A. A.; Football Squad. SELMA NECKRICH “Seim ' ' Frank A. Brackett. No demerits. Selma has often been seen busy in Room 133 after two o’clock. She has always been a leading business student and is, therefore, an active member of the Business Club. As a re¬ sult of willing and frequent childhood practice, Selma is now an excellent pianist, playing classics and jazz with equal ease. She likes to dance and learns new steps easily , though not the ones taught in the gym classes. Girls ' Business Club; Girls’ League. MACHELLE NEIDITZ “ Maish ” Arsenal. Everything is easy if you have my ‘ability.’ When I lend my fluent tongue to rhetorical speech, Demosthenes blushes with shame as he turns over in his grave.” Such is Maish,” our confident orator and business man. Maish” ought to be a good lawyer with his skill in convincing you that you’re always wrong. To what do you attribute your powers, Maish?” Debating Club; French Club; Dramatic Club; A. A.; Look¬ out Board; Boys’ Club; Orator. GLADYS NESTOR Viv” Classical High School, Worcester, Massachusetts. Never tardy. Ruth, a Worcesterite, has certainly given us a good opinion of her former city since we have known her. Perhaps it ' s the Massachusetts air or mere cleverness; anyhow, Ruth can cer¬ tainly handle the hosses. She always comes out on top at the ends of her rides. Ruth is preparing for a career in interior decorating; we can say that her own exterior always shows good taste. Girls’ League; German Club; A. A.; Ribbon Committee. THELMA NIELSEN “Thel Northwest School. Thelma is one of those people whose presence is felt only indirectly. Absolutely unobtrusive in every respect, she is ever the “helping hand”. She is among the more serious-minded people in our class, but her unfailing sense of quiet humor has again and again startled unknowing students and teachers. Though Thelma has no marked interest in studying, she always learns her lessons, and still has time for more important things. DAVID NOVARR Northwest School. Never tardy. Jove, the mental giant of the class (and ye censoring ed¬ itor,) is quite a normal person in civilian clothes. His facial gesticulations, ultraspontaneous puns (example: Does Novarr novarr the humor lies?) and brilliant remarks (example: I want five write-ups from you tomorrow.) ever amuse. His brilliant mind (ironic example: his prominence in Latin Class), musical talent, and good nature, all combine to make a sw ' ell all-round fellow. Honor Society, President: French Club, Vice-President; Lookout, Editor-in-Chief; Portal, Editor; Boys’ Club; A. A.; Valedictorian. MARION O’CONNOR St. Joseph’s. Never tardy; never absent. Tall, dark, and handsome is Marion. She is exceedingly interested in basketball and knows how to get places on the floor. She is famed among Weaverites for her ability to gather club news. Her piano playing is no small item, either. She is destined to take her place with “Little Jack Little, so that future high school pupils can turn off dull speeches on the radio and enjoy a little syncopation. Lookout; A. A.; Girls’ League; Ingleside Club, President. GILBERT PEARSON Doc” Holcomb Street School; never tardy. “Doc” is the happy medium between noisiness and quiet¬ ness, becoming very furious, or extremely calm, as the situation demands. He has proven himself quite a mathematician, how¬ ever, always having some method of his own invention for solving a problem. We have heard that a fair maiden came out of the west some time ago to “Pierce” his heart. How ' s about it, “Doc”? Hi-Y; Boys Club; A. A.; Chemistry Club, Vice-President. MARY PERRY Jackie Frank A. Brackett. Jackie” takes great pride in the distinction of having had no ciphers handed out to her by our benevolent teachers. Still we may add that demerit records are generally made by ones and twos. This piece of philosophy does not apply in par¬ ticular to Jackie;’’ it is just a wee bit of advice for the mis¬ chievous. Jackie ' s splendid voice has the mellow sweetness of a nightingale, and we prophesy that she will surely be a great singer. Girls ' Glee Club; Choir; Girls’ League; A. A. WILLIAM PLASKY “Bill” Holcomb Street School. Never tardy. Here we present one of the few conservative members of our radically-minded class. “Bill is a quiet, hard-working fel¬ low who has successfully won his way through High School by diligent application. Among his friends, “Bill ' s” good dis¬ position gives vent to “artificial electric shocks,” etc., etc. Shall we ever forget the charming femme crooning in an irresistible voice, Oh Bill-11-11! Can I take your chem paper?” Boy’s Club; French Club, Secretary; Honor Society; Chem¬ istry Club; Junior Usher; A. A.; Motto Committee, Chairman. HANNAH PODNETSKY Honey” Northwest. Hannah ' s love of sports at Weaver has induced her to be¬ come an aviatrix. She insists that the air up there is—well— er-er—better. Still, this is a good sign of ambition, her want¬ ing to get up in the world. If girls could play on the varsity baseball and basketball teams, Honey” would help the Green and White very much. Hannah really wants to be a dental hygienist, in which vocation we are sure she will succeed. French Club; Girls’ Leaders’ Corps; Girls ' League; Basket¬ ball. RAYMOND PORTE Ray” Arsenal School. We always had a small Ray of sunshine in the corridors and classroom, despite the weather, until it was shaded by an inconspicuous football moustache. “Ray” certainly knows his figures, where geometry isn’t concerned. His actions in school are too quiet to be true, but when he goes outside, he certainly makes up for everything. Well, little man, what now? LENA PREVITALI Lee Northwest School. Lena is never disturbed by the accumulation of schoolwork. She manages to be a happy-go-lucky at all times. Her wrath comes in swift and sudden gusts, but subsides guite as suddenly. Her broad smile is her drawing point. It certainly is a difficult task to keep track of her deft fingers while she is typing. The Lookout will lose an efficient worker when Lena is graduated. Girls’ League; Ingleside Club; Lookout Typist; A. A. ANNA RADEEN Ann” Frank A. Brackett School. ’’Ann sports a charming combination of golden-brown hair and blue eyes, which might have been what the moon came over the mountain to see. Her infectious grin attracts many friends. Ann intends to enter the business world, and with her persistence she will be a success. Although she did fall behind through illness, “Ann’’ managed to catch up by hard work and determination. Girls’ League; Ingleside Club. BENJAMIN REICHLIN Ben Holcomb Street School. Never tardy. Ben’’ is one of the most ardent sport fans of our class. His chief grief is that he has never seen a football team wear¬ ing the Green and White handle the pigskin to his satisfaction. “Ben’’ suggests a crossbreed between elephants and Weaver- ites to help built up good material for future football teams. Just feed ' em peanuts, Ben! His outside interests, however, have not prevented ‘Ben from making a good record at Weaver. Boys’ Club; A. A.; French Club; Chemistry Club. BEATRICE RHEINER ‘Bea Frank A. Brackett. Never tardy. Bea” is an ambitious essayist who recently entered the essay contest on Dr. Gorgas. After four years at Weaver, her only criticism is that it lacks seating accommodations. It seems that she and several other companions in discomfort and self- consciousness were compelled to type standing one day after school, as the chairs had been appropriated by somebody else. Girls’ League. FLORENCE RICHARD “Billie’ Northwest School. If Weaver ever harbored a songbird, it is Billie.’ She has certainly been the Glee Club’s pride and joy on numerous occa¬ sions. When it comes to archery, she is the best Maid Marian you ever saw. You never know which target she aims at, but then—. Some day we ll be proud of our little Meadow Lark when she’s competing with Rosa Ponselle. Just you wait! Girls’ Glee Club, Vice-President; A Capella Choir; Girls’ Leaders; Senior Choir; A. A.; Girls’ League; Music Committee; Ribbon Committee. ETHEL ROSEN “Tet” Wilby High School, Waterbury, Connecticut. Never tardy. Tet is one of Waterbury s contributions to the fair sex of Weaver. She has a charming and subtle smile which seems to have hidden meanings as she glances from the corner of her eyes at the passersby. She does like to appear sophisticated, but she is really rather delightfully naive. Ethel is a very efficient stenographer, and will undoubtedly be a shining light of the business world. Anyway, here’s luck! Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club; A. A. CLARA ROSENBERG “Rosy Northwest School. Rosy’’ does not appear to be the domestic type, but she does belong to the Ingleside Club, and enjoys those home economics classes where she can get together with the girls and discuss a juicy tidbit. Clara is quite peppy, however, and she and her buddy, Lena, are never seen apart, or so it seems. We wonder if she possesses rose-colored glasses, for everything seems “rosy to her. Girls’ League; A. A.; Ingleside Club. JOSEPH ROZNAR “Joe” Frank A. Brackett. Joe” is one of those fellows who likes to try lab experi¬ ments of his own concoction, which always result disastrously both for himself and his neighbors. Joe’s main ambition is to be a big-league pitcher, and if he starts mixing em” up on the diamond as he does in the laboratory, Weaver will be proud to call him her own. A. A.; Baseball Squad. DAVID RUBIN “ Duddy Northwest School. Dave is a big boy; so he needs a big, three-word name, but some illogical soul once called him Duddy and it stuck. Dave mixes promiscuously into this activity and that, but invariably he turns yearningly toward business. For a hobby he unearths new schemes of graft in the business world, so he won’t get stung. He expects to be rich and successful—if he can steer clear of shysters. Boys’ Club; A. A.; Lookout; Choir; Freshman Glee Club. ISABEL SACK Is Frank A. Brackett. Never tardy. Is” likes operas and attended one once, but this has never been held against her; so she is still welcome in the best of circles. In future years, her fondest memories will not be of the many hours spent in the typing room after school, because of those budgets. It isn ' t difficult to foretell Is’s” future after seeing her Friday nights in the Capitol Theater with a dark-haired stranger. Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club. BENJAMIN SACKTER Ben Northwest School. Never tardy. Clarity of mind and clarity of expression characterize our Ben.” Though he does take the liberty of displaying his Johnsonian vocabulary, increased by his exceptional knowledge of Vergil, who can biame him? Some of his sneeze-provoking Websterian effusions, with a bit of Deutsch thrown in, certainly slay us; but when it comes to clear-mindedness and utter pre¬ cision, page Ben.” A. A.; Boys’ Club; Chemistry Club; German Club, Presi¬ dent; Honor Society; Lookout; Junior Usher; Portal Board; Mbtto Committee. ROSE SCHLOSS Rae Frank A. Brackett. Although we have not seen or heard much of Rae” during school hours, her chums tell us that she is rather different later in the day. She likes dancing and sports, and has a host of devoted friends. She has a quiet charm and personality which will aid her in the future. Good luck, Rae!” Girls’ League; Senior Choir. SIDNEY SCHNAPP Sid ” Northwest School. Never tardy. Sid’s genial disposition is a constant sourse of amusement to all his friends. Shall we ever forget his quips and witty remarks? Sid helps to make the German class a social rendezvous for the students. Someday you’ll meet your master at tic-tac-toe, Sid.” Remember that sub”? Donnerwetter! Nevertheless, Sid is a good student. He dabbles a bit in hydrogen sulphide, which reminds us that he intends to be a chemist. German Club, Treasurer; Chemistry Club; A. A.; Boys’ Club; Junior Usher; Honor Society. MAY SCHOOLNICK F. A. Brackett. We cannot see why May objects to being called Blondie. After all, she should realize that all girls are not so fortunate as she in having the natural variety of light tresses. She has large blue eyes which are always on the go. With a pathetic expression she tries to alibi her way out of difficulties, but somehow they just don’t work. Girls’ League. PHILIP SCHWARTZ ' Flip ' ' Los Angeles High School. With his dramatic and speaking ability as a foundation, Flip proved himself to be about the smoothest fellow in our class. Being a very sociable fellow and a good mixer, he can get along in any crowd. Flip” desires very much to be a cartoonist and is taking lessons to that end, but we can better imagine him as being one of our foremost radio announcers. Dramatic Club; Track Team. ABRAHAM SCHWEIBISH “Al” Hartford High School. Al hasn ' t been with us very long, but in the time that we’ve known him, he ' s distinguished himself as a stellar basket¬ ball player. Our major rivals, the Blue and White, lost a good athlete when Al” decided to enter the portals of Weaver. We’ve seldom seen him off a basketball court, because his out¬ side sport activities are his chief diversions. Basketball. GERALDINE SCOTT ‘Gerry’’ Classical High, Springfield, Massachusetts. Never tardy. This demure Massachusetts miss comes to us from Spring- field. She worked hard to make a double and so grace our graduating class. She loves dancing, and can she dance! If her ambition to become a nurse is ever realized, won’t she look pert with a white cap perched atop her characteristic braids— and won’t we be rushing to the hospital? A. A.; Girls’ Leaders; Girls ' League; Ingleside Club. PAUL SELVIN “Shell Northwest School. Paul is one of those rare people who appalls his teachers by upholding his high scholastic average in spite of his indiffer¬ ence in class. Addicted to intellectualism, he is an enthusiast over modernism in the arts; and although he has lost his first encounter with magazine editors, his future augurs well. How¬ ever, perhaps his aversion to puns and his shellyish” shirt- collars are merely superficial. Still—a swell guy! Honor Society; French Club; A. A.; Portal Board; Look¬ out; Boys’ Club; Junior Usher; Motto Committee; Dramatic Club. JOSEPHINE SHAPIRO “Jo Troy High School, Troy, New York. Never tardy. “Jo is one of those few students who as a typist has shared the secrets of the Lookout editorial board and has read the censored material of reporters, forbidden from appearing in the column of our favorite feature, the “Scoop.’’ She came to us from Troy, New York, as a welcome addition to our class. She is very interested in music, and in her short stay with us has never been tardy. Girls ' League; Senior Choir; Lookout Typist. SYLVIA SIEGAL “Syl Northwest School. No demerits. Although her looks may be deceiving, four years have caused us to conclude that Sylvia wouldn’t “gyp ’ at solitaire even if no one were looking. We respect her for her ability to contain herself when the rest of the Latin class rolls off into peals of laughter. She is an active member of the French Club and has taken many parts in its various plays. Girls’ League; A. A.; French Club, Secretary; C. H. L. S. HYMAN SILVER “Hy New Park Avenue School. “Hymie is a talented lad; already he is quite a salesman—■ haberdashery and such other stuff as seems profitable. He believes in taking life as he finds it. “No cause to warry, says he, philosophically. You just get grey hair. “Hymie ' ' won ' t. “Eat, drink, and be merry is his motto, all of which goes to prove that he is just a happy-go-lucky young man. Chemistry Club; A. A.; Boys ' Club. DOROTHY SIVIN “Peanut Northwest School. Never tardy. “Dot is one of the quieter girls at school, who goes her own way busily and efficiently. Outside of school, she likes to dance, and we hear that she does it well. Often, we hear her intriguing giggle in the halls, as she speaks to one of her many friends. Her ambition is to be a private secretary, and we know that she has the ability to reach this goal. Girls ' League. HELEN SLATTERY Holcomb Street School. The old and well-known saying that “Gentlemen prefer blondes” is quite forgotten when Helen walks down the hall. The possession of a fine physiognomy and a willingness to help whenever called upon has won and retained for her many friends of both sexes. Helen will always occupy a place in our memories under the heading, “Swell Girl. Girls’ League; Girls ' Business Club; A. A.; Inde Club, Sec¬ retary; Ingleside Club, Secretary, Treasurer. ALFRED SLEEPER “Alf” Northwest School. Crowds don’t bother Al.” His two hundred odd pounds slice through them like a knife through butter. This boy col¬ lects movies; he ' s a regular connoisseur. When it comes to football, “Al just stands in the line, sticks out his hams—ex¬ cuse us—hands, and sweeps the other team in a heap. Inci¬ dentally, you skinny folk, “Al’s got twenty pounds to give away. Boys’ Club; A. A.; Football Squad; Reception Committee. SYLVIA SMITH “ Syl” Northwest School. Never tardy. Sylvia is a capable typist. As a result of this, she was quickly put to work on the business board of The Portal. Sylvia is also a talented art student and is a frequent visitor in the art room. Being more or less interested in her school at¬ tendance, it was an unlucky day for her when she was quaran¬ tined at the beginning of her upper-senior year. Girls’ League; Arts Craft Club, President; Inter-high Art Club; Business Board The Portal. ANNE SONKIN Nathan Hale School. Never tardy. “Ann’s” nickname was once Mousie,” but its present in¬ congruity has made it die a natural death. She is now a talk¬ ative person; sitting in the front seat doesn ' t daunt her, though it does bring frequent rebukes. Ann” intends to become a successful business woman; this seems practical since she could take dictation at a hundred at an early stage. The fact that the shorthand notes weren’t readable is, of course, unimportant. Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ League. EDWARD SORANT Holcomb Street School. Never tardy. If anybody ever talks to Mars, we predict that this boy, “Eddie,” will be the anybody. He talks promiscuously of such things as resistances, amplifiers, and regenerative so-and-so’s, all of which, we are told, have something to do with radio. He is also an amateur photographer—you know—watch the birdie, please. Sh! Here ' s a secret . He once had an S. P. A. A.; Boys’ Club; Track Team. ESTHER SOSIN Sis” Northwest School. Never tardy; no demerits. Our kindly, dear Esther. How the Lord blessed her with virtues so many. It’s quite overwhelming; and no one by gos¬ sip has the power to molest her. When it comes to clothes, she’s up on her toes; always sweet, neat, stylish, petite. You can t help admire her, wherever she goes. Though we think Esther a girl very “cherie,” still we must stop now, lest this grow verse. Girls League; Girls Business Club; A. A.; Honor Society. OLGA SOSIN “ Ollie” Frank A. Brackett. Industrious Ollie” will be one of the pleasant seraphs of industry in the life hereafter. At present, she gets downtown jobs with an ease that puzzles less fortunate, perhaps, and idle classmates. Her daily, long walks to and from school have kept her in trim shape so she has always given the gym floor to those who needed it. Reading books, which doesn ' t include textbooks, is Ollie’s” hobby. Girls’ League. DONALD STAPLES ‘Dick” Bristol High School. Never tardy; no demerits. Don ' t let his cold blue eyes scare you, ' cause you can’t appreciate Dick till you ' ve seen the naive baby stare that he possesses. Dick ' s earnestness is admirable, but how he tickles us when he tries to convince us his argument is infallible. We suspect that Dick has extracted more from the fruits of his labor than many of his classmates. He has been a pillar of strength in getting this Portal to press. A. A.; Lookout, Portal Board; Honor Society; Tie Com- mittee, Chairman. HILDEGARDE STEELE “Hilda Holcomb Street School: Hildegarde, with Doris Young and Leona Keevers, forms that familiar trio often seen after school attended by its equally familiar male escort. Hildegarde actually spent part of her leisure time during one study period reading and memorizing poetry. That accounts for the fact that as a lower-senior she surprised both her fellow students and English teacher by re¬ peating a passage from ' Macbeth ’ which had been assigned some weeks before. Girls’ League. SARA STEINBERG “Bunny” Northwest School. Never tardy. “Bunny” did not get her name because of abnormal ears or because of any connection with Easter. The real reason for this nickname is that she is always busy, and appears to be happily so. She has naturally curly hair and dark bright eyes, which make her quite good to look at.” Bunny” also likes to use her vocal chords in glee club and choir. Girls’ Glee Club; Senior Choir; Girls’ League. ESTHER STERN Eckie” Frank A. Brackett School. We have often wondered how so many good qualities could be condensed into one person like ' Eckie. ' ' She is outstanding for her good looks, possessing beautiful dimples, a fair skin and a sylph-like figure. She certainly is an agreeable companion, for friends find her able to converse intelligently on many sub¬ jects. However, these serious moments do not detract from her natural gaiety, but further enhance it. Girls ' League, Treasurer; A. A.; Chemistry Club; Color Committee, Chairman. MARSHALL STICKLOR “Bud” Holcomb Street School. Bud’’ to you. For a quiet unassuming chap, Bud gets into more jams and scrapes than anyone we know of. Four mornings out of five he runs a close, and sometimes futile, race with the last bell. His written excuses have a peculiar char¬ acteristic—they aren’t there when he wants them. Marshall represents a cross-section of the American public: he’s always in a hurry. JOSEPH SULLIVAN “ Sully St. Thomas Seminary. Although Joe has only been with us a year, he has caused the hearts of many of our fair sex to go pitter-patter like rain¬ drops on a roof. Joe lives up to the old saying of ‘‘tall, dark, and handsome, even though he doesn’t come from the south. As an athlete Sully’’ is one of Weaver’s greatest assets, and at college, ought to surpass his past feats on the gridiron and basketball court. Football; Basketball; Baseball; A. A.; Color Committee. SALLY SUPPLE Sally” St. Peter’s School. Never tardy. In gym Sally’s theme song is All the World ' s a Stooge,” or How To Demonstrate In a Calisthenics Drill. Recently her ever-famous straw-colored crop of curls took a decisive cut. Her ability on the gym floor and in sports is above aver¬ age. In study hall she enjoys watching others trifle away their time. She also enjoys seeing her friends’ names appear in the Scoop.” Girls’ League; Girls ' Business Club; Ingleside Club; A. A.; Tennis; Soccer. MARTHA TIRRELL ‘Mart” Northwest School. Never tardy, no demerits. A sophisticated and charming member of the Brunette co¬ terie is this gracious girl. Her charming smile and pleasant manner are the potent qualities which have gained her beau- coup d ' amis. Endowed with the invaluable faculty of always remaining calm and posed, Mart is also noted for her pre¬ ciseness in preparing her studies. Besides being attractive, neat, and a good student, she is a congenial companion. Girls ' League; A. A. BERNARD TULIN Bernie” F. A. Brackett. Bernie is the type of young man you expect to “go places and do things. Tall, goodlooking, he is in no disfavor with the girls; while his energy and organizing ability makes him a leader among the lads. His interest in extra-curricula ac¬ tivities and the able manner in which he has performed his part in them will stand him in good stead in later years. A. A.; Boys’ Club; French Club; Chemistry Club; Lookout, Make-Up-Editor; Portal Board; Honor Society; Testator. GEORGE TULIN Chauncey Harris. When George first entered Weaver, we were hardly aware that he was in our midsts, because of his minuteness; but all of a sudden the horse got skittish, and there stood Georgie, throwing the bull a round. Tell, us, George, was it Wheaties or Grape Nuts? In all seriousness, however, George was one of the mainstays of the Dramatic Club, and we predict great things for him. Dramatic Club; Boys’ Club; A. A.; French Club; Choir; Glee Club; A Capella Choir; Freshman Glee Club; Tie Com¬ mittee. HELEN TURNER “ Facka” Arsenal School. Never absent. Come ye! come ye! Laugh all your cares away. No poker-faced pessimists for mine, is Helen ' s motto. Brilliant questions are her hobby; and her sense of humor is contagious. She has high aspirations toward nursing, but she ' ll have to be cautious so her patients won’t burst their stitches. Still, she can quiet them with her melodious vocal renderings, because she has a voice to be proud of. Choir; Glee Club; Girls’ League; A. A.; C. H. L. S.; Basketball. MARGARET VALLERA Meg Northwest School. With a calm serenity she moves through each day spread¬ ing cheerfulness. Behind those dark eyes, there lies a wealth of intelligence and brilliance, which shows itself in the enviable record which Margaret has made in her studies. Her sincere smile and helpfulness have made her many friends. Margaret is a very efficient stenographer, a fact which is sure to aid her to success. A. A.; Girls ' League; Honor Society; Girls’ Business Club, Secretary; Portal Board; Basketball; Soccer. CHARLES WADSWORTH Holcomb Street School. Weaver will surely miss Charlie. Football, basketball, and track were all the same to him. A run, a toss, a kick, all exe¬ cuted with the same sureness, speed and aggressiveness which characterizes everything he does, are part of every game Charlie is in. As you have guessed by now, he is no mean athlete—and no mean heart-throbber, either. Football, Captain; Basketball; Track, Captain; A. A., Presi¬ dent; Baseball; Reception Committee. RUTH WARNER “ Ruthie ” F. A. Brackett. Ruthie’s” interest in Home Ec. is only equaled by her interest in the business subjects. Her chief efforts, however, are expended in the latter. Her helpful suggestions during shorthand classes included the idea of spending more time or reading the Gregg Magazine jokes in class and less on home¬ work out of class. Ruthie ' s singing in the locker room of the gym never fails to elicit comments. Girls’ Business Club; Girls ' League; A. A. MELVIN WEBER Mel Frank A. Brackett. Never tardy. There are two outstanding things about “Mel,”—his shock of coal-black hair which he continually tosses off of his fore¬ head, and his strikingly likeable personality. He has a habit of drawling out his words, which makes us impatient to know how the end of many a sentence will turn out. Believe it or not, although he knows practically nothing about the subject, he has ambitions of being God’s gift to music—a symphony orchestra leader! A. A.; Boys’ Club; Choir; French Club; Chemistry Club; Lookout Board; Honor Society; President 1935B. SHIRLEY WEINBERG “ Shirl Bulkeley High School. No demerits. Shirley is a super-excellent example of a supersophisticated schoolgirl with a superb case of giggles. In short, she is simul¬ taneously stately and frivolous. In unraveling Vergil, her translations are full of intuitions, intermissions, but few omis¬ sions. Contrary to custom, Shirley s mind runs along geo¬ metric lines and this is wholly congruent with her personality. In addition, her literary ability proves that she is an exceptional girl. C. H. L. S., Vice-President, Treasurer; Chemistry Club, Secretary; Honor Society; Girls ' League; A. A. LOUIS WEINER Louie” Frank A. Brackett. Though we haven’t heard him play one for some years now, ' Louie ' ’ undoubtedly got his first musical training with a rattle. Through the years he has dabbled with other things, but is still faithful to his music. “Louie” is a master with that difficult instrument the “Sax,” and “Sax ' s” sister, “Clarinette,” is no less docile in his grasp. Junior Orchestra; Senior Orchestra; Interhigh Orchestra; Band; Freshman Soccer; A. A. WILLIAM WEISBURD Bill F. A. Brackett School. One of “Bill ' s” idiosyncracies is to herald his approach b} a vigorous slap, punch, bump, or slam. The recipient of said mark of affection must be charitable and forgive his vigor. Employed in a neighboring drug store, “Bill” delights in com pounding unique mixtures unknown to the world of pharmacy. A practical business man, he is an invaluable member of the Lookout Board and Boys’ Commercial Club. Commercial Club, Secretary; Lookout, Assistant Manager; A. A. MAURICE WEISINGER Morrie Northwest School. Never tardy. Surely it is not “Morrie’s” highly exalted conservatism which makes h ighly exulted maidens exclaim. “The Moe the merrier.” In the springtime “Morrie’s” fancy turns to Butch haircuts. Some “coiffe”, we ll say. Among his accomplish¬ ments are the following: he predicts Latin tests; he manages French clubs, and he reads Vergil with orchestral sound effects. Boys’ Club; Chemistry Club; Glee Club; Portal Board 1 French Club, President; Honor Society; Motto Committee. PHYLLIS WHI TMORE “ Phyl” Northwest School. The present happy-go-lucky “Phyl” is quite a change from the studious Phyllis of grammar-school days. She now be¬ lieves that more can be accomplished in the few minutes before class, as far as homework is concerned, than in an hour’s study¬ ing at home. Notwithstanding all this, Phyllis did start to read Anthony Adverse once, and she has always cherished hopes of becoming an exceptionally good nurse. A. A.; Girls’ League. MADELINE WHITNEY “ Maddy” Northwest School. Mrs. Whitney’s little girl Madeline, called “Maddy for short, is a ray of sunshine. It just glows in the fair bloom of her complexion. She loves to read, especially new books, but is well acquainted with all types of literature. Prominent in school activities, she hasn ' t neglected the domestic and culinary side of her education. Girls’ League; A. A.; Ingleside Club; C. H. L. S., Secretary. EMILY WILKINS 44 Em” Frank A. Brackett. Em has titian-colored locks but not the temper that usu¬ ally goes with them. On the contrary, she has a delightful personality which is enjoyed by her many friends. Her in¬ terests tend towards art; Adrian may be requesting her services some day, who knows? Although her four years at Weaver have been pretty rushed, the biggest surprise came in her upper senior year—five A s on her report card. Arts-Crafts; Girls’ Leaders; Chairman Matinee Dance Com¬ mittee; Girls’ League; Inde Club; Lookout Board; A. A. Prophetess. SUSIE WILLIAMS “Becky Hartford High School. In school, “Becky” often reminds us of “OP Man River ”, rolling along the corridors with her sunny, dreamy smile; but rumor informs us that outside she plays a swifter role. Her fluent giggle and her ease in all situations hint that she’s prob¬ ably made of the same stuff as Omar Khayyam. But in spite of her gentle affection for homemaking and sewing, “Becky” plays, believe it or not, a grand game of basketball. Girls ' League; Basketball. MARION WINKLER “ Wynke’’ Northwest School. Never tardy. It’s hard for the girls to surpass Bea’s” ability in athletics. Her presence in gym is keenly felt mentally and physically. She has a dashing sense of humor, which is acted out as well as spoken. As it runs in the family, Bea ' s” alertness also stands upright in her hair, but after four years, her coiffure is finally settled, at least to a certain degree. Girls’ League; Girls Leaders’ Corps; Portia Club, Vice- President. JAMES WINSLOW “ T eeny’’ Northwest. Teeny,” but mighty! Here is the bright and busy business man of our class. Teeny ' s” greatest pleasures are centered in the various business activities of school, and there are but few such organizations which have not reaped great benefit from his ability. His alert, quick mind and his levity of spirit make him not only a real pal among his friends, but even among his teachers. A. A.; Boys Club; Commercial Club, President; Portal Board. EVELYN WIRTALLA Blondie’’ Holcomb Street School. Never tardy. Evelyn shows great promise as a budding young stenog¬ rapher. Although she finds herself confronted with a tre¬ mendous number of obstacles, Blondie has the capacity of overcoming these difficulties in her path. Her social activities are numerous and varied, with dancing heading the list. Suc¬ cess is certain to be hers because of her ability to keep on going w r hen there seems to be nothing but darkness ahead. Girls’ League. CONSTANTINE XANTHOPOULOS ’’Gus” Northwest. Never tardy. In addition to his flashy playing on the basketball court, Gus’s work on the diamond manages to keep him in Wea¬ ver’s spotlight. Gus always has a cheerful countenance, which may or may not account for his luck in selling matinee dance tickets. As cheerleader for Weaver’s football team, Gus” kept the crowd in a happy and jovial mood. Three cheers for Gus! Boys ' Club; A. A.; Arts-Craft Club, President; Basketball; Baseball; Cheerleader; Matinee Dance Committee; Tie Com¬ mittee. DORIS YOUNG Holcomb Street School. Doris seems to be nther quiet and reserved to most of us, but to those who know her well she is quite talkative, with many witty remarks intermingled in her lengthy and numerous orations. Since she is quite conscientious when it comes to the matter of school, her activities have been confined for the most part to consistently good preparations of her daily work. A. A.; Girls’ League. GEORGE YOUNG “Dosh Holcomb Street School. The courage, strength, and fortitude manifested by previous members of his family are also revealed in this intrepid lad. Although unpretentious in athletics, Dosh” displays the pluck and spirit acquired during frequent sojourns among the lumber¬ jacks of the Maine woods. Strenuous physical labor and sav¬ ory, syrup-soaked flap-jacks are his favorite combination. A modest manner has secured Dosh a wide circle of friends. SHIRLEY ZAIMAN “Peanuts ' Frank A. Brackett. Never tardy. Shirley is an active person and is always dashing away to do or practice something. Her pleasant voice makes her a wel¬ come member at all the school musical events. She is not, it must be said, very quiet, and often helps to contribute to that familiar murmur in Room 103. Shirley’s sense of humor never fails to chase away those Monday morning and after-vacation blues. Girls’ League; A. A.; Choir; Girls’ Glee Club; A Capella Choir; Girls’ Business Club. RUTH BLUM “Bunny Frank A. Brackett. Never tardy. Frequently, in English class, one can hear Ruthie laughing and enjoying a good bit of humor. One of her pet aversions is home work, and her pet like is fun. She has a quick wit, which very often comes out in a sarcastic remark. She wants to be a nurse and will make cheerful Florence Nightingale when she attains her goal. Girls ' League; Girls ' Business Club. EDITH DAITCH Putnam High School. No demerits. This newcomer from Putnam High, which is, as you all know, in Putnam, Connecticut, is a welcome addition to our class. Tactful Edith never makes those usually inevitable comparisons between her present and former school that are ordinarily to the advantage of the latter. She does not, how¬ ever, refrain from talking about swimming, regardless of the season. She is an enthusiastic and capable mermaid. Girls’ Business Club. RUTH FITZSIMMONS Hartford High School. Never tardy. Ruth’s personality is not on par with her size, and thus her unusual popularity with members of both sexes (mostly males). It would certainly be quite a sensation to see this slight miss without two or three big strong men at her beck and call. Ruth came to us from Hartford High; but then, one school’s loss is another’s gain. Girls’ League; A. A.; Basketball. JOSEPH KATZ F. A. Brackett. Never tardy, no demerits. Most of our class would feel perfectly justified in setting Joe on a shelf, marking him “X” and calling him Weaver ' s Brain Child.’’ The French class especially can thank him for many a rest period, because when he gets up to recite there just isn’t another thing left to say. Although he presents a very studious demeanor, he has gained the respect of all. And what’s more, he has a sense of humor. Chemistry Club, President; French Club, President; Honor Society; A. A.; Salutatorian. WILLIAM MARCELLINO Holcomb Street School. Babe ”, as an organizer par-excellence, has no equal. His ability to cope with any situation has made him a leader wher¬ ever World Se ries predictions and other more classy enter¬ prises are concerned. ’Babe ' s impressionistic haircuts and wild and Willy shirts have made him a conspicuous figure in our class. His lolling gait and he-man proportions account in themselves for his power over the ’babes.” A. A.; Football Squad; Reception Committee. KENNETH SHAKER Central High School, Springfield, Massachusetts. Ken” holds the school record for contracting spring fever. He’s the quickest spring fever-getter we ever saw. Notice that far-away look in his eye some day. He is probably thinking about all those distant places he has been to. We bet this strong, silent man will have some good stories to tell his grand¬ children. Ken” doesn ' t do a bad job of acting either. Dramatic Club; Debating Club. JACOB UNGAR F. A. Brackett School. Never tardy. Station W1935B .... Miss Luna calling from the moon!” This is one of Jack’s” greatest ambitions, to get in contact with the moon. We apologize to Edgar Rice Burroughs, au¬ thor of Tarzan’s Adventures in Room 227. In radio language Jack” is a ham”, of no mean ability. His hobby does not prevent him from showering his good humor among his class¬ mates. May the wave lengths of his success ever increase. Boys ' Club; Freshman Choir; Senior Choir; Track Team; Cross Country; A Capella Choir; German Club. PHILIP YUSH F. A. Brackett School. Phil” is one of the few really quiet and unassuming young men to be found at Weaver. He is always at work, diligently striving to attain his goal. A good business man, he shows his ability along this line in the commercial classes. To Phil,” a joke is a vital necessity, and his visible appreciation of the numerous and witty anecdotes related by his fellow-studes is easily noticeable. Soccer.

Poor Bill Plasky lies under the rushes; He got high blood pressure because of blushes. Here lies Joe, our little Katz; He caught cold from not wearing spats. Weisinger was inspired by the paths of life But was disillusioned by a nagging wife. Jimmy Winslow went collecting for his papers, But in one hall he was smothered by the vapors. Charles Grossman again tried to bluff, But this one’s father proved to be rough. Nathan Hurwitz yelled once too often; The echo was soon smothered in a brand new coffin. They’re all mourning for Rose Barry; She tried to imitate Mata Hari. Adele Cohen Lies alone. Beneath this sod lies Bernie Tulin, Who thought the girl was only foolin’. Franklin’s hobby was that of reading, But one day he read while speeding. Poor Dave Novarr lies under this nook. Because of his worries over another Class Book.

(Emily, typing at desk, answers). Emily: Keyhole-Bloodhound Newsreel Co. I’m sorry, sir, he’s not in today. Yes, surely, I will. Thank you. Goodbye. (Meanwhile Nathan comes up onto stage from audience, searches curtain for door knob, finally knocks on curtain.) Emily: Come in. What can I do for you, sir? Nate: Is this the Keyhole-Bloodhound Newsreel Co., Inc.? Emily: Yes, sir, and whom did you wish to see? Nate: Why, the president, of course, of course . . . Emily: Of course, (Reflecting a moment) but, oh. I’m sorry, sir, Mr. Caber- man is out of town today. Nate: Curses! Of course, of course, but tell me, my good woman, were you not informed of my appointment? Emily: (Flashing.) Why, no, who are you? Nate: (Flashing badge.) Dupont is the name, I ' m the new censor from New Britain. I’ve been sent to O.K. your last seven sets of films. Emily: Last seven sets? Nate: Of course, of course, but hasten, my good woman, else the wrath of the law shall descend upon the Company of Keyhole-Bloodhound. Emily: (Arising, all fluttered.) Oh, yes, sir, come right this way into the projection room, sir. I’ll flash the pictures on the screen for you, sir, right away, sir, right away. Nate: ( Following at her heels with proud gait.) Of course, my good woman, of course, of course. SCENE I BARBER SHOP OUT WEST (Scene takes place “Out West” in Rita Merlet’s Barber Shoppe, where Nate is employed. Bernie enters. He is a well-dressed country dude with rather long and dis¬ heveled hair.) Bernie: Nobody here? . . . Good. ... I just came from Dave Novarr’s Barber Shop, and there’s such a mob down there, I couldn’t even get near the door. (Seats himself.) Nate: Yes, indeed. (Puts sheet around him and puts bowl on his head.) Ever since Dave has taken in that new manicurist, Jean Champlin, all the young dudes stick around there like flies. Bernie: And how! Why, I even saw Farmer Lou Case, the great butter and egg man, pushing around in the mob, trying to get up in front. (Looks seventy-nine around.) Say, it’s pretty quiet here. Unless you get some sort of attraction in this old joint you won’t have any more hair to cut. Say, why don’t you hire that all-girl jazz band that Angela Coniglione is becoming famous through. That ought to get you customers by the dozens. Or, I know — you can import Selma Neckrich, the famous toe-dancer, from Broadway. She would knock ’em — Nate: I’ll do no such thing. If I can t get customers through my good work, I don’t want them at all! (Snips curl from Bernie’s hair.) Bernie: (Who has been very uneasy all the while.) You seem to have great confidence in your work. (Looking pleased.) Well, I’m glad to have that, anyway. Nate: Oh, yes! Why, I ' ve been cutting the hair of some big men in this burg for over ten years, and I’ve never had a complaint about my work. I’ve had quite a few accidents — slip of the razor, or snipping off a slice of ear — but, of course, as I say, that doesn’t amount to much. Bernie: (On edge.) Oh, yes — er—I mean — no, of course not. (Enter Emily — breezily. He continues.) Don’t you think that by bringing some sort of attraction into this place Nate here could get a flock of customers? Emily: Yes, I think your suggestion is marvelous. (To Nate.) I know of an attraction right here in town that we could hire immediately. You’ve heard of “Micky” Fine and Minnie Handler, those two famous hair wavers, haven’t you? Why, with them waving men’s hair, we ll become rich in no time. Nate: Bah! I tell you I don’t want anything like that. The customers that I have are enough. They will never leave me. Once I cut someone ' s hair he never forgets it. People like Dr. Maurice Weisinger, the “man with the butch,” will tell you something about my work. He and others like Rabbi Raymond Porte and the French Professor Morris Klein, who even in our school days at Weaver had the thickest beards in the class will never trade elsewhere. I’ll bet my hat that some pretty lassie couldn’t take them away from me. Emily: You haven’t any hat on. Nate: Huh (feels his head.) Oh — (Enter paper boy, Ed Hafey.) Ed: Paper, Nate? Oh, I just passed Dave’s place, and I was stunned to see the mob down there. I even saw Mr. Weisinger, Mr. Porte and Mr. Klein and some of your best customers down there, I—(sees Nate’s expression and leaves). Bernie: Your good work, ha — ha— (looks at mirror). Nuts! (Exits.) Emily: Now what are you going to do? Go out of business? Nate: Yes, er — no. I’ll show ’em. I’ll give away free haircuts for one whole week and when everybody gets a taste of my work I won’t have any more worries about: customers. Isn ' t that a swell idea? Emily: If you say so, I guess it is. (Registers sickness.) Curtain eighty SCENE II Scene — Off lots in Hollywood. Time — Lunch hour. Personae — Nate, Muriel, Emily (eating), Adele (reading the paper), Eddie (deeply engrossed in a book, making gestures), Bernie strolls by re¬ hearsing No Thank You , and also takes part of director tearing by, pulling hair and shouting. Nate: (Helping himself to sandwich.) Gee, these sandwiches are pretty swell — must be made with Ruth Goldman’s famous salad dressing. Emily: Careful, Nate, y’know too much vitamin D isn’t good for you — (Relaxing.) — Gee, it’s certainly great to be acting here in Hollywood. It’s the last place I expected to end up in. Nate: (Sarcastically.) You’re telling me! Emily: Cut— (Addressing Muriel.) Say, Lady Montague, what do you think of this version of Romeo and Juliet we re filming? Muriel: Why, with David Rubin as Romeo and Barbara Coit as Juliet, it’s likely to be the sensational film of the year. Adele: I understand Sydney Kessler and Marcia Fischbeck are the under¬ studies that were chosen from — Muriel: Enough of that, this is supposed to be our rest hour. Allow me to forget my artistic temperament, and that dynamic production we re filming,— (Glancing at watch). Heavens, were due back on the set in twenty minutes! (Turning to Emily.) Say, I’m worried. I read in this morning’s paper that the famous missionaries Fay Kleiman and Sylvia Siegel have been reported lost in the wilds of Africa. Emily: The wilds of Africa! Adele: O-OH, that’s nothing. Look, it says here that Ruth D. Laschever has instigated a house-to-house campaign to help out orphaned cats. Nate: (Turning suddenly on Emily.) Lady, can you spare a dime for a poor little kitty cat? Emily: I ' ll write you a letter! (Looking round at Eddie.) Hey, there, page boy, what are you reading? Eddie: (Suddenly becoming conscious of his surroundings.) Oh, just Charles Gellin’s latest novel, “The Skeleton in the Pink Striped Pajamas.” (Joining the party.) Say, by the way, folks, did you see the new Duesenberg Bernice Kelman imported from France? Adele: (Interrupting.) I hear she ' s entertaining in a big way tonight — what-do-you-say — let’s crash! Nate: Easy there, you know her butler is always on the job. Muriel: (Looking lovesick.) Boy, could I go for her chauffeur Jerome Caplan in a big way! Emily: Too late — he eloped with her secretary last night. Eddie: Big society, heck— (Patting Muriel on the back). Brace up, old kid, it’s almost time to go back to work. Adele: So long, folks. I’m going to watch the X sisters, Leona Keevers, Doris Young, and Hildegarde Steele, go into their dance. Emily: Now that she’s gone, let me tell you something. Lawyer Brody told eighty-one me that she — Nate: Sh — remember the famous philosopher, William Marcellino said — There’s no cat like a lady cat. Come on, I ' ll treat you to a soda before I change my mind. Emily: (Staggering.) I’ll take you up on that — right now! Muriel, Eddie: Hey, wait for us. ( Rush off.) Curtain SCENE III. The Hen Party Adele: (Speaking through door.) Yes, I ll call you tomorrow — thanks for having come — yes, all right — goodbye. Muriel: Well, that was one grand game of bridge, but I still think our score would have been more if you had bid hearts — Emily: How could I? Why, I had seven clubs in my hand and — Adele: While you’re quarreling. I’m going to use my time and paste more pictures in my album. Emily: That certainly looks like an old one. How long have you had it? Adele: Ever since I graduated from grammar school, but most of the pictures are from my high school class. Muriel: Let’s start there and see how many of them we can remember. Emily: Fine! Let’s make ourselves comfy and begin. Adele: To start with, here is a picture of our senior shorthand class. Muriel: Mm—mmm—Oh! There’s Bee Winkler; I can tell from the way her hair shows. Yes, she always was receiving awards because of her athletic ability — excellent at basketball. Emily: Here’s one of the fastest shorthand writers in that class. Henrietta Lippman — the first one to pass her 120 word award in that class. Did she have speed? Adele: This is the Classbook picture. Doesn’t Sylvia Smith look lovely here? She won a $5.00 prize for drawing a picture in two minutes from a slide. What memories these bring back. Well, if it isn’t Lena Previtali! She always went around the school philosophizing about life — Muriel: Yes, but she sure had plenty of pep! Emily: Isn’t that Edythe Drube, the one and only one who could receive 100 in her bookkeeping exam.? What brains! Adele: Lo and behold, the one and only Weaver Dramatic Club! Remember Berkeley Square? And what a gorgeous setting! Muriel: Charlie Grossman was responsible for part of it. He always was an excellent art student. And you could always find him smiling re¬ gardless of what had happened. Emily: So was Dot Braverman. She always was running around the school trying to get up more school spirit among the girls — Adele: Don’t forget that ours was the first class to use student government. I can’t remember the room — let me think — Emily: Room 227! It was very successful, too. Remember how Rose Barry liked to have the preseident conduct the class instead of the teacher? eighty-two Muriel: Marjorie Davis continued to talk just the same. That girl could sing, too — what a voice she had! Adele: Well, that was some class. Here is the class picture, very clear. Diana Cohen looks splendid here. Could she make a piano talk? She always had so much to say that she made the piano talk for her — was on the radio also. Emily: Sarah Levine and Esther Sosin are together here, just as they always were. What a friendship they had! Isn t that Marion O Connor? Muriel: Yes, she was great at gathering school news, had a very charming personality. Mary Kelly here was always providing it, too. There should have been more like her, always tending to her own business. She made a grand member of the clubs. Adele: Oh, Paul Selvin! The one and only! I think it was grand to think of his winning second prize in a national contest. That play he wrote was excellent. No one could beat Paul at writing. Emily: Remember those good old F. E. R. A. dances? Lena Previtali co uld be seen there quite often; she was an excellent dancer. Loads of the girls used to try and teach the others how to dance. What grand matinee dances we had! Muriel: Everything seems so different now from what it was then. I’d love to go back and start all over again. Emily: That goes for me, too. Adele: Well, right now I could stand a nice cold chicken sandwich with some cake and ice cream and — (Puts album away.) Muriel: So could I. Let’s eat. Emily: Ditto. Adele: O. K., girls, this way to the pantry. (All rush off.) Curtain SCENE IV Freak Show Barker: Come one, come all. Step right over, everyone, and see the Charles Blumenthal famous collection of freaks, right from Paris, the African jungle, Bronx Zoo, Rome, Venice, and all points east. Now we re getting somewhere. See Carl Tarzan Alsthuler, the strongest of men, lift a two-hundred-pound weight on his chin; Marika Cohan, the glam¬ orous snake-charmer; see those snakes wind themselves around her neck; see Ruth Nestor, the sword-swallower. Can she take it? And, folks, you can’t afford to miss the greatest of treats, Hannah Podnetsky and her trained fleas. Muriel: Oh, Mr. Barker, Mr. Barker. Barker: Hurwitz is the name, but what can I do for you? Muriel: I’m looking for Alexander Kircheis, the crystal gazer. Someone told me that he can tell me all about my romantic past. I must see him. Barker: Don Staples could do it without a crystal. Muriel: Do you know him? Did you go to Weaver? Weren’t you in the class — ? eighty-three Barker: Yea, but we haven’t got time for that now. You ' ll find Kircheis in the third tent to the left. Muriel: All right, I’ll be back later. Mob: (From background.) A little action. Yea, I’m getting bored. I thought this was a freak show. Me, too. I’ve got ten cents and I might get sore and buy some popcorn. Barker: Come one, come all, see the Blumenthal freaks. You saw them at the World’s Fair; now see them for ten cents. Emily: Is this the circus where Ray Adelman, the spaghetti winder, is located? I’ve been looking for her for two years now, but, oh, dear, I can’t find her. Barker: Cheer up, girlie, we have no spaghetti winders in this circus, but we do have wonderful lion tamers. Right this way to see Shirley Zaiman, the little girl and her lions. Emily: I’d love to. Lion-hunting is one of my favorite sports. Goodbye. Mob: When does this end? How about some samples of your freaks? Barker: Be patient; our time’s not up yet. Mob: Yea, but I’m sick of being a stooge. Say, didn’t some of those people look familiar to you? I’m sure I’ve seen them before — Adele: (Enters and looks around curiously. Seems amazed when she sees Barker and mob.) Maybe I’m in the wrong place. Barker: Can I help you, lady? Adele: I must have lost my way. I thought this was a boxing ring, but I don’t see any boxers. Oh, dear. I bet I’ll miss the fight, and I did want to see John Beakey, even though I still think he should have been an opera singer. Barker: Don’t worry, lady. You’ve no time to fret over not seeing John Beakey. We’ve got a colossal freak show right here. Wouldn’t you care to see Ken Shaker, the man on the flying trapeze? Adele: Ken Shaker? Where is he? (Rushes off.) Barker: Hey, lady, you forgot to pay, ten cents, please. You can’t go in there like that. Hey, wait a minute. (Runs after her.) Mob: We’ve had enough freaks for one day. Guess I ll buy my popcorn. Come, children, we re going home. Thank heavens this is over. (Pulls sign off back.) SCENE V Bernie: Gosh, this coffee gets muddier every time I come around here. Hey- move over, will ya? Eddie: With all the benches in this town, you have to pick on this one. Nathan: This reminds me of the good old lunch room. (Looking around.) Say, weren’t you in my class? Eddie: Yea, but we haven’t got time for that now. Bernie: Did you see our old pals Bernie Franklin and C. Sidney Schnapp back there? Nathan: Yea, some of the more prosperous guys of the class. Bernie: Who ' s the lady dishing out coffee? Seems like I’ve seen her before. Eddie: I never thought that Olga Sosin would be dishing out coffee to me. eighty-four (Nathan steps on Bernie’s toe accidentally.) Bernie: Hey, who do you think you are? You remind me of that Friday afternoon dancing class in Room 15. Eddie: Did you hear about Abe Jaffe and Sarah Supple winning the Golden Marathon dance at Ipswich, Mass.? Nathan: No, but Bob Ficks, who used to work on the Courant, told me that Ben Sackter is opening a studio to relieve pains resulting from stiff necks. Bernie: Speaking of stiffs, I wonder if Joe Katz ever finished reading that superb mystery thriller entitled, ‘The Mystery of the Moth Hole,’ or “How to Do Your Homework in 24 Hours.’ Nathan: Gee, I wonder if they ' ll give me anything else to eat. I think I’ll ask them for some. Eddie: Well, don’t let Policeman Benny Reichlin catch you, or he’s liable to stick you in the jug. Nathan: Then maybe I better stay here. I don’t feel like spending any time in jail. Bernie: Well, I think I’d better go now. Business is rushing; in fact, just rushing me off my feet. ( Exit.) Nathan: Where’s he going? Eddie: Oh, there’s a meeting of the “Too Tired to Work’’ Club, and he’s of it. Hyman Silver and Phyllis Whitmore are the chief members among the many who live up to its title. (Looking at clock.) Guess I’d better get going myself. Nathan: Where to? Eddie: They’re passing out free samples of food at Krivitsky’s Up-To-Date Delicatessen. I want to get my share. So long. (Exit.) Nathan: Well, there’s no fun staying here to gossip with myself. Might as well go with him. Hey, wait up! (Exit.) Curtain SCENE VI TRIAL Scene — Courtroom. Judge — Nathan Hurwitz. Accused — E. Hafey and E. Wilkins Prosecuting Attorney — B. Tulin. Clerk — Adele Barrie Cohen. Adele: Hear Ye! Hear Ye! All stand in the presence of his honor. Judge Joe Katz. Nathan: (Raps with gavel.) Order in the court! First case. Adele: First case. Court versus Lester Kelting. Accused of going around irking people and resisting an officer. Eddie: I plead not guilty. Bernie: Your past record shows that your former pranks drove one Alfred Sleeper to cutting out paper dolls. Nate: The Court finds you guilty, and thereby fines you thirty-five grated raisins. eighty-jive Adele: Second case, Bernard Kruh, dealer in fictitious names, versus Joe Sullivan. Kruh accuses Sullivan of drawing his customers away from him by doing the dance of spring in Keney Park. Bernie: Where were you on the morn of May 35th? Eddie: I was with Gus Xantho at George Byron ' s Fish Aquarium teaching the fish how to swim. Nate: Clerk, look up the records of Sullivan, Byron, and Xantho. Adele: The books show that Sullivan was a football player, Byron a track man, and Xantho a Basketball player in their high school days. Nate: Throw the case out and fine the sissies ten dollars for contamination of court. Adele: Third case! Court versus Eileen Malley, accused of racing Shirley Weinberg in her flivver plane. Nate: What has the defendant to say for herself? Emily: But judge, my plane won’t go over 110 miles an hour, and that horrid policeman, I think his name is Morton Katz, said I was doing over 150. Nate: Poor excuse, but the Court will excuse you as this is your first offense. (Aside.) What are you doing tonight, babe? Emily: (Coldly.) I’m very sorry, but I already have a date with James Winslow. Nate: After reconsideration, the Court will set an example of the defendant and I will personally instruct her in the flying regulations this evening. Adele: Fourth case! Charles Wadsworth, Marshall Sticklor and George Young versus Joe DeGray. DeGray accused of doing hard tricks during a poker game. Bernie: What does the defendant plead, and if so, why not? Eddie: Well, you see, sir, I was just trying to liven the game up a little. Boy, you should have seen the look when I showed them five aces. Bernie: Clerk, look up the records of this crowd. They seem a leetle teched in the haid! Adele: Records show that Wadsworth holds the state high school record for the 55 dash. DeGray in his gigolo days was constant attendant at the F. E. R. A. dances. Sticklor endangered the Weaver students lives by attempting to drive his car, and Young held the title of Chief Teacher Distractor. Nate: Enough evidence to convict all of them. Two days in cell 240. Adele: Robert Manning wishes to request the court that he be given the custody of the Hitler sextuplets. Nate: What evidence can you produce that you are a fit guardian for these prodigies? Eddie: Well, I got a 100 in Solid Geometry exam in high school, and — Nate: Enough. Anyone who can get a 100 in Solid Geom. can have them and Einstein, Jr., too. Adele: Last case. A1 Caputo versus Howard Lindsay. Lindsay claims that Caputo ruffled his hair with a paper airplane. Bernie: What do the records show of these two? Adele: Lindsay has nothing against him, but he owes a bill to a Malcolm eighty-six Katz Beauty Parlor for a permanent wave. Caputo was known to have taken a course in aeronautics. Nate: The evidence convicts Caputo, and the Court hereby fines him three buckets of propeller wash. Court adjourned. Curtain. SCENE VII Insane Asylum. Bernie: Let me out. I must go home to my family. Poor Nellie, how she must miss me. (Knocking.) Listen to me. I’m the wrong guy, I’m telling you. I’m a lawyer. Warden: Hey, you, why don’t you keep quiet? You’re disturbing the peace around here. ( Noises heard backstage.) Bernie: Will you listen to me for just a moment? I’ve got to get out of here. Have pity on me, on my wife, and on my children. Who’s going to do the chores around the house? Don ' t you realize that I’ve got an important will to make out? Warden: Married, and he says he ' s not nuts. Bernie: All right, I am. No, I’m not, but I will be if you don’t let me out of here. I’m telling you I’m an intelligent man; I’m a lawyer. Don’t you know anything about law? The proposition is peace, not peace through this medium of war, etc. Warden: Wise guy, eh? Muriel: Why not vary your repertoire? Two triangles are congruent of two angles, and the adjacent side of one is equal to two angles and the side of the — Warden: I wish you’d stop making so much noise, both of you. Bernie: Will you be quiet in there? I need quiet for concentration. I’ve got important work to do finishing up this will. I’ll lose my job when I get out — Muriel: Don’t worry about that. You’re in here for a long stay. Bernie: Is that so? (Pulls out many papers and looks for will.) Let me see— 1935B — oh, yes. Alfred Sleeper leaves his athletic superiority to Joe Sudarsky. Muriel: A1 Sleeper? Do you know that class? Weren’t you in it? Bernie: Yea, but we haven’t got time for that now. Ruth Leven leaves her Leven contract bridge system to the forthcoming French classes, in the hopes that this phase of education will not be neglected. Winnie Law leaves all her snails to the track team for their inspiration. Muriel: I didn’t think it would all come to this. But I suppose you can’t tell. Look at us, for instance. Who would ever have thought — Bernie: Yea, I know all about it. Well, let’s continue. Margaret Vallera wants her industrious soul to be given over to Betty Fowler, hoping that she will carry on in the school. Muriel: Georgie Tulin bequeaths his angelic expression in front of the teacher to Vivian Cohen, for she may need it more than he next year. Bill Plasky gives up all his bow ties to Bernie Steinberg. Gil Pearson eighty-seven leaves his English accent to the Dramatic Club for their next production of “Berkeley Square.’’ Bernie: Bud Goldstein gives his flash-lighting legs and mind to Izzy Salad, to help him get around more quickly. Ruth Dobkin leaves her entire collection of excuses to the session-room teachers for checking up on future pupils. Too bad! The poor pupils will have a pretty tough time surpassing her. She certainly had some repertoire. Muriel: Speaking of repertoires, Billie Richard leaves her golden voice and her repertoire to be made into records for the benefit of the typing classes, in case they want a little variation from class routine. Bernie: Esther Stern leaves her fine features to be painted on the murals of the lunchroom. Muriel: It’s about time they decided to change them. Ruth Laubenstein leaves the remains of her famous Ford to Irv Lutin. Maybe he could do something with it. Bernie: Melvin Weber is finally giving up his blue shirt with the white circles to Phil Piccola, so that he will see circles instead of stars in the daytime. Muriel: Come in handy for Geometry class, too. I never saw anything like it. (Bell rings. Warden goes out, brings in Nate, all dishevelled.) Warden: The next time you get loose from this joint, at least give us the courtesy of calling us up or sending a telegram about it. I was just beginning to feel that something around here was missing. Adele: I’m so glad you’re back. We only had three hands at bridge and had to use a dummy in your place. Emily: Well, it didn’t make so much difference, anyway. Nathan: Sir, Dummy to you. Didn ' t you know that I’m censor for the Bloodhound Film Company? Warden: Yea, that’s what you think. Well, now that everyone is back again we can adjust ourselves to the old routine. (Everyone joins in song and dance.) Bernie: Farewell, Nellie, my love. (All sing “He’ll Be Cornin’ Round the Mountain When He Comes. ) Curtain eighty-tight A Stern Tale Of Kruh Love “I ll Schnapp your sassy face,” said Richard to Vallera as they were sitting on her front Porte. She returned his Supple gaze with a glance of Steele. “Don ' t arouse my Ungar,” she said, or I’ll Sack you on the Beakey. “K-K-Kircheis,” sneezed Richard. This woke up the Katz, who tried to catch the Weiseberd in his cage on the railing. Vallera stopped the Melley which followed. “Keevers!” “Fox the matter with you?” she said to the Katz. “This is a Fine way to act. Don ' t try to Horn in on the bird’s dinner. Wait till I go to the Fichman and I’ll bring you some nice Klein Fishbeck.” “Meow,” said the Katz. “Tulin or not Tulin,” sighed Richard. “That’s from Shaker or Shakespeare,” he explained loftily. Vallera felt that he was Rubin it in because he was smarter than she. “None of your Lippman,” she said, “or you can Cohen home.” “Hogan go home?” he Schnapp-ed back. Vallera was at Hurwitz end. “I’ll get the Gellin the house, she cried, “and I hope you fall in a Daitch.” She went in; he didn’t fall in. He went up the street thinking to himself, “The Neiditz Young, and I must Zaiman girl before Manning.” This thought made him happy. He started singing, “O the Weber man said that the Weber ahead will soon be Golden,” when he was rudely interrupted by Su llivan. Let’s have a Glassman,” said Sullivan,” and get Plasky-ed. ’ “Whitmore Silver I could,” replied Richard. “Warner lend me some?” “I should Lanza you money,” said Sully, “not while I ' m still a Scott, and besides, I need my money in Kasov emergencies.” He turned to go. “I’ll Ficks you,” HEss-ed Richard. “Wirtalla him, huh boss?” a new voice broke in. It was Chiapponi— as usual. “Yush up, you. I’m mad,” said Richard. “You go Tirrell,” replied Chiapponi. Absent-mindedly, Richard started to. Then he realized he was Nearing home. I can’t go home Sosin, he thought, it’s only 8:15 o ' clock. I’ll Turner round and go back to Tillie s. If I Handler right and don’t try to Kessler again maybe she won’t Schnapp me. Vallera was so surprised when she saw him Cohan up the walk that she nearly fell down and went Booma. “Coit surprised to see me? asked Richard. “Leibman,” she cried, “or I shall have the Law on you.” “Me too,” said her Goldman, who was standing in the doorway. “They’re Belden a new sewer in this town and I hope they Barry you in it,” shouted Richard as he was Leven, thoroughly UNGAR-ed. “You’re full of banana-EARL,” she yelled back. Hours later De Gray dawn was breaking. Shall I go home to Sleeper, or shall I Kemp here? wondered Beaky. Just then Richard thought again of Vallera. “I’ll Lerner,” he muttered.

Facta, Non Verba ■ninety Salutatory There lies in the Caribbean Sea, about one hundred and twelve miles south of Florida, a cigar-shaped little island called Cuba, famous among financiers for its sugar and tobacco, among lovers of beauty and nature for its heavenly landscapes and dark-eyed senoritas, and among thirsty tourists for its Bacardi and “Sloppy Joe’s”. In spite of its size, this little island has recently made history when its bored inhabitants staged three revolutions within two months in order to break the monotony of life, or perhaps to continue a bad habit. Having lived there for eight years, I have had the opportunity of becoming acquainted with many other interesting phases of Cuban life. I think it fit on this occasion to relate to you some of my experi¬ ences at the high school of Havana in order to compare them with our high school life, and thus be able to appreciate more fully the value of our own excellent system of education. It will perhaps be amazing to Americans accustomed to generous oppor¬ tunities in every field of learning to discover that for the entire population of Cuba, three and a half millions, only one college and ten high schools are available. These schools, being located in large cities, are naturally accessible to only rich children or to those living near, while the rest must actually do the impossible to be able to attend. It is truly pathetic to see how entire families often abandon their beautiful homes or sacrifice businesses to give the young generation a chance. How comparatively easy it is to satisfy admission requirements in American schools; but not so in Cuba. The greatest obstacle I met in this respect was my inability to furnish a document. Although I had several letters of recommendation, a health certificate, a testimonial that I had been graduated by a public school and had passed the entrance examinations, my case seemed hopeless because I did not have a certificate to prove I had been born. Since there was no Russian consul in Cuba, the authorities were no less bewildered than I. At length, someone mentioned Mexico, where Russia had already been recognized. After a long period of time, in answer to my communication, the Russian consul in that country stated that he could not do anything to help me. Following his suggestion, however, I wrote to Russia and at last received an important-looking paper which I submitted — only to find that I was three weeks too late. The appearance of the document, which I discovered they could not even read, a fact that would have saved me much trouble if I had known it before, made, however, such an impression on everybody that I was finally admitted. The principal of the school, a colonel of the Cuban army, was untrained in the knowledge of young people and lacking in sympathy with their problems ninety-one and needs. Under his guidance a military atmosphere pervaded the class¬ rooms, which were regularly patrolled by stern, sharp-eyed minor officers, whose presence made the heart miss a beat and the blood freeze in the veins. The slightest offenses brought severe punishments ranging from standing at attention for one hour to expulsion from school. I shall never forget my humiliation and terror one day when a marble rolled out of my pocket as an officer was passing. Compared with Cuban methods, our demerits system is a real privilege, strange as this statement may seem. Every student must purchase military uniforms adorned with metal buttons and with the initials of the school. To keep them polished and shining has cost me many a scar and many a blister. The starched collar must not be unbuttoned even in the hottest days, and the hat must not be tipped a quarter of an inch. Pupils look so much alike in their uniforms that each one must be ready at any time and anywhere to present for inspection his identification card with samples of his writing and his photograph attached. Instead of an Honor Roll like ours, deserving Cuban students are allowed to wear on their uniforms a certain number of medals and little flags, according to the subjects in which they excel. At first this sounds attractive enough, but it is ironical and amusing to learn that they have to purchase their own medals. The best American schools deem it their duty to train young men and women not only to be efficient in their vocations, but also to become good citizens and useful members of society. At the Cuban high schools, however, the main purpose is to prepare good soldiers, while social life as we know it does not exist. Twice a week do the students meet on the outskirts of the city, in full regalia, to be drilled and drilled under a blazing tropical sun by an ill-tempered and explosive sergeant, but there isn’t a single club in the entire school. It is true that boys and girls attend the same institution, but they are kept apart on different floors, since, according to an old Spanish custom, refined senoritas must never communicate with strange young men in the absence of chaperons. Comparing our own methodical system of education, the most liberal and progressive in the whole world, with that of our old-fashioned little neighbor basking eternally under the sun, frolicsome and frisky like a roguish and irre¬ sponsible little pup, I feel that I must take this opportunity of expressing my deepest appreciation and most sincere congratulations to the government of the United States to you, parents, teachers, relatives, and friends who form an integral part of it. You have always been to us a source of inspiration in our work and have made possible this great moment in our lives. On behalf of the Class of 1935B, I bid you all welcome to this auditorium and hope that you will thoroughly enjoy our program. I know that I express the thought of every member in this class when I say that it is our fondest ambition to repay your manifold kindnesses. Joseph Katz. ■ninety-two Valedictory Every man, whether he is a professor or a barbarian, a poet or a ditch- digger, a “playboy” or a factory hand, expresses countless farewells during his life. He may be leaving a friend, a position, or life itself. The message may be addressed to one particular individual, or to any person who has the three cents to buy a newspaper. It may be written in the uncertain hand of an aged grandmother, or in the blustering style of a publicity agent negotiating the ultimate comeback of a heavyweight ex-champion. It may be a short note personifying friendship, understanding, regret, or a long speech hurled by a ranting politician appealing to the emotions of a susceptible audience, retiring the tenth time for the sake of his party. It may be a serious essay by an honored statesman, or a tonal gesture by a popular crooner. A farewell cannot be judged by the popularity it attains, but must be considered according to its purpose and matter and circumstances which influenced it. Many farewells, of course, have been widely quoted, and a number of these well deserve the popularity they have gained. Who has not heard and overheard that brave epigramatic farewell, that patriotic aphorism, “I regret that I have but one life to lose for my country?” The greatness of Nathan Hale depends on that one sentence. About to be hanged as a spy, he was granted an opportunity to express his last words. At that time, his love for his country overshadowed every other thing, and he made a state¬ ment which carried his name to the most sacred annals of human thought and endeavor. But Nathan Hale was not the only man who died fighting for his country. How many men, deafened by shells, spitting gulps of blood did not have the strength to say farewell? How many men did cry out fare¬ wells that were not heard? And how many of these farewells would have taught far more important lessons than “I regret that I have but one life to lose for my country?” Most of these final farewells were wordless ones, but a wordless farewell is probably more poignant and touching than an articulated one. Perhaps the very quiet is inspirational. Perhaps silence is more awful than sound. But when a person is so engrossed in his own thoughts, so emotionally overcome that his feelings cannot find words, then truly all manner of vocal expression is worthless. Mere communication has given way to a more significant spirited perception, a more overwhelming force. When the voice of a friend becomes stammering, stifled, and unnatural, when his eyes become dimmed, what further evidence of loyalty and appreciation and love need one have? Or when a man makes his last farewell to this life, what would words mean? They would serve only to detract from the sublimity of the situation. ninety-three Most like a death knell seems to be the retirement from active service of an influential citizen, such as a high school principal who has dedicated his life to the public. To be sure, an immense void seems to have been formed, for his many associates cannot realize that he has actually left his position. Yet this sentiment is erroneous, because immediately after the first shocking moment of surprise, the idea that he will always be remembered, that his many kindnesses will always be recalled, begins to predominate. Soon, it is evident to them that this man can never really say farewell, for his worth is impressed upon the people whom he has guided. Through his nobility of character and calmness of action, he himself has provided a noteworthy example for his students. Through his sympathy and understanding and courage he has guided thousands of pupils, and has succeeded in imprinting in those pupils a conception of the finest qualities of manhood and womanhood. His teach¬ ings will live on and on. Farewells must be made, whether they are silent, all expression being idle; full of meaning; or ‘full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” But there should be no sadness connected with farewells. The past with all its remin¬ iscences is behind; the future, plenteous in its promise, lies ahead. “Not in vain the distance beacons. Forward, forward let us range, Let the great world spin forever down the ringing grooves of change.” In this spirit, I should like to say farewell in behalf of the class of 1935B. Mr. Burke: Not only have you enriched our high school education by adding to it lessons which cannot be learned from text books, but you have advised us in our moments of doubt. Your personal interest in each of us individually has been a continuous source of inspiration. Our hardest prob¬ lems were easy and clear when you solved them in your plain and vigorous manner, inspiring in all of us confidence in your opinions and actions. To a friend who has endeared himself to us during our four years in Weaver, I say farewell. Our Faculty: Your problem was truly a difficult one. For, it was your job first to broaden our intellectual background, and then to answer the unanswerable questions we insisted on asking. You had to handle students who wanted to be treated as men and women, but who wanted to assume only the responsibilities of children. The very fact that we are on this stage tonight shows that you have succeeded. With sincere thanks I say to you, farewell. My Classmates: Four years have come and gone—four years of close relationships and good times. And now, though parting may be “sweet sorrow,” we are about to separate. Some of the finest things in life stay with us but a short time, but they leave us only after having stamped their impression in the form of indelible and happy memories of the years we have enjoyed together. And now, wishing you the best of luck in all you undertake, say “Fare thee well! and if for ever Still for ever, fare thee well.” David Novarr. ninety-four If there is anything distinctive about this issue of The Portal, it is largely due to the significant contributions which have been made by the students in the Art Department under the able and enthusiastic direction of Miss Eleanor Ingle.
