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.

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

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
