Weaver High School - Portal Yearbook (Hartford, CT)

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 ]
