Tribute To The Art Department When a high school has an art department such as Weaver is privileged to have, it should be considered mighty fortunate indeed. In a rating of class books all over the country last year, the art work in The Portal of 1935B was judged superior. This fact alone shows that we have an art depart¬ ment of which to be proud. Again this year, the members of the art department have brought forth their talents, and have accomplished a very commendable piece of work in The Portal of 1936A. They have spent much time and energy in making an interesting cover, unique block prints for the department headings, funny cartoons, and other various designs throughout the book. We wish to extend our thanks and appreciation to the following members of the art department who have worked very diligently and have produced these excellent results: George Seltzer, Florence Kent, Adrien Harris, Bernard Vinick, Sylvia Eidelman, Pearl Fleishman, Douglas Murray, Ann Bernstein, Sylvester Grosso and Michael Dalessio; and to Miss Haselton and Miss Ingle, the art teachers, under whose very able guidance these things were most efficiently accomplished. We also appreciate the helpful efforts of other members of the art classes who par¬ ticipated and helped in various ways toward making the art work of this class book a success. Not only has our art department excelled in its own specified work, but it has very often given its services most willingly to other school activi¬ ties. Many individual members have expended much of their time and effort in making artistic scenes and properties for the Dramatic Club plays. Many have co-operated voluntarily by making attractive posters for the benefit of almost all the school activities or campaigns. Now the department as a whole is diligently working to make the prospective Club Room a success artistically. Again, we wish to commend the splendid results they have accom¬ plished for The Portal, and their whole-hearted support of the school ' s activities. [ 8 ]

Frank H. Burke Our class is the first to graduate since Mr. Burke was formally made prin¬ cipal of Weaver High School. One might infer from this statement that we have experienced a radical change during our course at Weaver. However, this is not so. The total absence of a marked change, the complete lack of disturbing confusion, and the perfect scarcity of conflicting opinions have powerfully convinced everyone of Mr. Burke ' s praiseworthy qualities of administrative leadership and dependability. We who have in reality regarded Mr. Burke as principal during our four years have become intimately acquainted with his character. We have not found him an exponent of abstract theories in education, but a practical humanist capable of weighing, evaluating, and assimilating both the heritage of the old and the outgrowth of the new in the field of creative education. We have found him a true friend, desirous of helping with impartiality every member of our class. His exuberant, youthful personality has enabled him to understand our problems, to examine them from our point of view, and to render a constructive decision from the wealth of his practical and cultural training. One of his distinguishing traits is the ease with which a student may approach him to ask advice. Neither must we overlook the creditable co-operation which he enjoys from our faculty and which enables him to hold the primacy in an assembly of kings. His friendly and sympathetic attitude toward his helpers explains this unusual concurrence. We regretfully bid Mr. Burke farewell, but our sorrow on leaving is partly counterbalanced by our realization of a great overpowering debt which in the future we shall feel toward him as we recall our pleasant and profitable life at Weaver under his guidance.
