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

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.

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.
