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

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

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
