DORIS BLINN Dot “Simplicity is a jewel rarely found.” Doris is a capable and industrious worker. Any class would be willing to claim such an efficient member. She can accomplish twice as much in a quiet manner as others would in a boisterous way. Northwest School. Never tardy. Girls ' League; A. A. DOROTHY BLOCK Dot “Good friend, trusty neighbor.” Dot, one of the reserved girls of this class, is friendly to all on every occasion. One of Dot ' s ambi¬ tions is to see a water fountain on the athletic field. We don ' t blame her. She probably gets as thirsty as everyone else after playing soccer. Frank A. Brackett School. Never tardy. Girls ' League; Arts Crafts Club; Inde Club; A. A.; Girls ' Business Club. DOROTHY BRODY Dot “Nothing is impossible to a determined will.” Dot is one of the more intelligent and active mem¬ bers. Behind her quiet manners and actions resides a charm that is wholly captivating. Like a rare wine that mellows with the years so does one ' s admiration for Dot grow as one knows her better. Frank A. Brackett School. Never tardy. No demerits. Girls ' Commercial Club, President; Honor Society; Choir; Orchestra; Girls ' League; Class Ring Committee; Typist for The Portal. JOHN CAHILL lack ‘‘Thus I steer my bark, and sail on even keel, with gentle gale.” During his years at Weaver Jack” never appeared to be in a hurry. His gait never varied, and neither did his friendly salutation. Jack is, more or less, a man of few words. However, when fun is to be had, or a joke is made, he is in on the sport. Northwest School. A. A.; Boys ' Club. [ 22 ]

FANNY BACKER Faye “A lovely girl is above all rank.” If a stranger ever saw little Faye working behind her counter at Newberry ' s some Saturday, he would probably be indignant at the laxness of the Child Labor Authorities. She is a slim, sweet girl, and would make an ideal kid sister. Frank A. Brackett School. Never tardy. Girls ' League; Girls ' Business Club. SHIRLEY BASCH Shirl “A little girl with sunset in her hair.” Just an old smoothie—that ' s Shirl. She leads her male admirers on with a fetching come hither glance that has collected quite an army of them. She ' s tops in the class as far as scholastic ability goes, too. More power to you, kid! Northwest School. Girls ' League; A. A.; French Club, Secretary; Honor Society. MICHAEL BEIRPONCH Mike “Short and to the point.” That he Never flunked a subject, was set down by Mike as a distinction. He being the same as the rest of us it would seem that, in the case, he had confused the word distinction with the word miracle. His small, though husky, body and his characteristic of speaking only when spoken to, set Mike aside from the common run. Northwest School. A. A. MARGARET BERESKY Marge “Woman ' s greatest asset is modesty.” Although Marge is an out-of-town girl, she has quickly adapted herself to Weaver and has become very well-liked. Her quiet and retired manner has shown us her culture and refinement. She has been active in many of our clubs, especially in dramatics, and we are sure that Marge will be a great success some day. Aaron Gone Junior High, Denver, Colorado. Never tardy. Dramatic Club; Girls ' League; Ingleside Club; Typist for Lookout . [211

EDWARD CALLAHAN Eddie “Calm amidst the angry waves.” Eddie is one of those who may not be a mental wonder in his studies, but he certainly makes that up in his natural athletic ability. Eddie is a quiet kind of chap who minds his own business and who expects others to do the same. Northwest School. Baseball; Basketball; Football; A. A. CAROLINE CARSON Ruth ‘To have an appreciation of art is to have immeasurable wealth” Caroline will be remembered as a tall, dignified girl. Her favorite pastime is talking, and her answers in class have been noted for their frankness. She is a very neat girl, and we understand that she does very fine work in the art department. Northwest School. Girls ' League; A. A.; Portal Board, Art Editor. FRANK CARTER Scotty ‘7 e worships sport more sincerely than he worships women.” Scotty found chances to indulge in athletics all the year, being a formidable member of the basketball and the track teams. In track he did his work in the longer runs. They say that he developed his wind chasing girls. But we are inclined to doubt all that rumor. For Scotty is quiet, and is a lad of steady habits. Northwest School. Never tardy. Never absent. Basketball; Track; Cross Country; A. A. ABRAHAM COHEN Abe Comb down his hair; look, look! it stands upright.” Abe is noted for two things: his haircuts and his wisecracks. In the lunchroom, he reigns supreme in making more noise than anyone else. However, our little Caesar meets his Brutus in French classes. We sometimes wonder if his stuttering has anything to do with it! Northwest School. Never tardy. Boys ' Glee Club; Senior Choir; A Capella Choir; French Club; A. A.; Boys ' Club. [ 23 ]
