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 ]

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 ]

LILLIAN COHEN Lil Tis good nature only wins the heart ” Lookie! Lookie! Lookie! Here comes Lil ! She is a bright ray of sunshine and a firm believer in giggling. Here is one girl who will never let a pal down, and her friends wouldn ' t t hink of letting her down either. Her eagerness to help others and her happy-go-lucky air have endeared her to many of her classmates. Northwest School. Ingleside Club; Girls ' League; Girls ' Business Club. MARION COHEN Mimi “Time and patience work wonders.” It seems that everyone who possesses the cute name of Mimi is talkative, so this poor girl never had a chance. Nevertheless, she ' s not gossipy and finds time in between practicing this engrossing art to keep spotlessly neat. Frank A. Brackett School. Never tardy. Ingleside Club; Girls ' League; Girls ' Business Club. VIVIAN COHEN Viv “Popularity is power.” Whenever one sees somebody eloquently talking, laughing and gesticulating, and surrounded by a group of eager girls, ' tis Vivian telling a joke or swaying the mob. She, our second Demosthenes or Cicero of the feminine variety, has that astounding quality of doing four hours of homework in half an hour—the envy of many of her classmates. Northwest School. Girls ' League, Treasurer; A. A.; Dramatic Club, Vice-President; Honor Society; French Club; Girls ' Leaders ' Corps; Essayist; Matinee Dance Committee. SIDNEY COHN ' ' Quinn” “His hair is oj good colour.” Quinn has a bright and cheerful disposition. He has a keen sense of humor and can always take a joke. He has passed a quiet and industrious four years with us learning all he could and keeping out of trouble (?) We wonder why he is so quiet—perhaps he is a jilted lover or something! Northwest School. Never tardy. A. A.; Chemistry Club. [ 24 ]
