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.

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

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
