TULIN 20 May 1920 - 23Aug. 2016 Liev Saulovitch Telyatitzky was bom on 20 May 1920 to Saul Leibovitch and Lyuba Gamburg Telyatitzky in Mazyr, Russia (now Belarus),. After the 1917 Revolution, Russia suffered horrific violence that lasted into the mid- 1920s. His parents were desperate to escape the constant danger, and to join Saul’s seven older siblings who had previously fled Russia to the United States. With help from Saul’s brothers, the family made the arduous journey to Germany and passage across the Atlantic. Upon arrival at Ellis Island on Nov. 1, 1923, the family took the surname Tulin, which Saul’s brothers had adopted. Liev’s sister Rozalia decided that her little brother should have a “fancy” new name, and insisted that it be Leonard George Tulin. And so it was. The family settled near relatives in Hartford, Connecticut. Leonard soon declared that he would no longer speak Russian at home, and everyone must learn English. Although that demand helped his parents to learn English quickly, he later regretted that it cost him his native language. Leonard attended Hartford schools, graduating from Weaver High in 1938. He enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps in September 1941 and trained as a Weather Forecaster. He served overseas on the Indian subcontinent in what are today’s India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Burma. His forecasts supported pilots flying supply and combat missions. Leonard flew “over the hump” monthly on C-46s ferrying fuel into China, and sometimes had to help the crews push barrels of gas out of the plane to clear the high Himalayan peaks. After discharge in 1945, he moved to Boulder with a flood of other GI Bill veterans to study Civil Engineering at the University of Colorado. At a CU vets gathering, he met Navy WAVE veteran Vera Thompson. Leonard was instantly smitten, and proposed on their second date. Though she delayed giving her answer for quite some time, they were married June 20, 1948. They enjoyed 42 wonderful years together until Vera’s death in 1990. They had one daughter, Holly. As a CU junior, Leonard fast-talked his way into a job as a physics teaching assistant, and in the process discovered his true life’s work. He earned his BSCE in 1950, and began teaching full-time in the CU Civil Engineering Department. He attained full professorship in 1961. Leonard devoted himself enthusiastically to teaching and research. He completed his MSCE degree at CU in 1952, and earned a Ph D. in Theoretical Applied Mechanics from Iowa State University in 1965 under a National Science Foundation fellowship. He was a Colorado Registered Professional Engineer continuously from 1954 until his death, and consulted with many private and governmental clients. Leonard set very high standards for his teaching, and he prepared meticulously for every class he taught, no matter, how many times he’d presented the material. This standard of excellence, which he expected his students to match, earned him a reputation as a tough but fair professor. His renown eventually garnered the College of Engineering’s Meanest Professor Award, and he always prominently displayed its gaudy Purple Screw trophy. From 1972 to 1976 Leonard served as chairman of the CU Civil Engineering Department. His favorite memories from that period were handing his daughter her • BSCE degree when she graduated from the. department in 1972, and watching her follow in his footsteps to Colorado Professional Engineer registration. He also relished learning how to be “Doubledad” to his grandson David. He especially enjoyed working with his graduate students, who counted on him to dispense wise research counsel along with _..._.U I excellent writing and editing advice. Several of his students told him that his example inspired them to pursue university teaching careers. Leonard published numerous papers on concrete, timber and masonry design. He was a sought-after presenter at international technical conferences. He retired from the university in 1990, but continued to teach masonry and timber courses for several years. Leonard was a life member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Concrete Institute, and was granted many accolades for his teaching and research. He received the CU College of Engineering’s Distinguished Engineering Alumnus Award, the Max Peters Faculty Service Award, the Charles Hutchinson Teaching Award, and the American Concrete Institute’s Wason Medal. Leonard was a member of Masonic organizations for 64 years, twice serving as Master of Boulder’s Columbia Lodge 14. He volunteered as a Director of homeowner associations for more than 35 years. Into his 90th year, Leonard had a regular Meals On Wheels delivery route and participated in other community volunteer projects. Since 2011, he enjoyed being a part of Frasier Meadows Manor’s Assisted Living community. His family is grateful for the support of the wonderful staff and residents there. Leonard is predeceased by his parents, his wife Vera, sister Rosalie Kravet, and second wife Crescence Michel Binet Lyman Tulin. He is survived by daughter Holly Tulin of Boulder, and grandson David Laingor of Loveland. His nephew David Kravet and family of Connecticut also survive him. A few days before his death, as he reflected on his experiences, he said repeatedly ‘Tve had a really good life.” He died on 23 August 2016 under the compassionate care of TRU Community Care Hospice in Boulder. At Leonard’s request, services will be private. The family suggests memorial contributions to Engineers Without Borders (1031 33rd Street, Suite 210, Denver, Colorado 80205), or Frasief Meadows Staff Scholarship Fund (http: www.ffasiermeadows.org donate ). WEAVER HIGH SCMOOL HARTFORD CONNECTICUT TO WEAVER The craggy shores of learning now are gone. Fast fading from our sight, beyond the hill Of childhood gaiety. Our hearts now fill With cou rage, for we face a grimmer dawn. Oh halls of sweetest knowledge, ne’er defiled By constant strife for tyranny and power, Rise up and smite with wrath the perilous tower Of ignorance, now sadly so high piled! For what you ' ve done for us we will remain E’er grateful, in our everlasting fight Gainst Dictators and Ruthlessness and Might, Till glorious heights of fame we do attain. Then only, Weaver, will you be repaid. When all these blights are gone and are decayed.

High School, Miss Conklin attended the College of St. Elizabeth in New Jersey where she received her A.B. Degree. Previous to her arrival at Weaver she taught for three years at the Bridgeport (Conn.) High School. DEDICATION As a token of our gratitude and sincere ap¬ preciation for their daily encouragement and ready assistance which served as a guiding light , but perhaps most of all in grateful ac¬ knowledgment of their own examples of cour¬ age and imagination, this years Portal is dedicated to Miss Genevieve Conklin and Miss Arline Talcott. MISS ARLINE TALCOTT Miss Talcott, a graduate of Glastonbury (Conn.) High School, attended Wellesley College where she obtained her B.A. Degree. Later she received her M.A. Degree from Trinity College in Hartford. Before coming to Weaver she taught one year in Bristol, Conn., a year in Quincy, Massachusetts at the Woodward Institute, and another year in Win- chendon, Massachusetts. [ 6 ] The schools must keep both feet on the ground. This does not mean that they must stand pat, but that they must go forward to a new era—even as agriculture and industry must go forward—doing new things in new ways, keeping close to the homes, arousing the ambition, developing the skills and tastes of all the people, helping them toward the wise management of their lives. How else shall the two million children born annually upon our Ameri¬ can soil be guided into their best development? How else shall people learn to manage their collective undertakings? How else can civilization be main¬ tained? How else can the promise of democracy be fulfilled? —Journal o[ National Education Association. [ 8 ] FOREWORD e| In compiling this your classbook, the editors have endeavored to make it a complete and accurate record of the different branches of school life, so that in future years you may have something to serve as a pleasant reminder of your activities at Weaver. If there are any errors, we ask you to overlook them, and we trust that those who have been the unsuspecting objectives of any ‘‘slams’’ will take them in the spirit of fun in which they are meant. We wish to acknowledge here, our indebtedness to Mr. Larrabee and Mr. Cunningham, without whose invaluable aid and services this book would never have gone to press on time. And so we give you— The Portal of 1938. — The Editor. [ 9 ] WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL In January, 1924, more than fourteen years ago, the portals of the Thomas Snell Weaver High School were opened to the students of the district. The student body was comprised of 820 pupils, many of whom had transferred from H. P. H. S. In June of that year, a class of 39 girls and 16 boys grad¬ uated — the smallest class in Weaver history. Mr. William Holden, formerly associated with H. P. H. S., was appointed Weaver s principal, and served in that capacity until his retirement in 1935. Mr. Holden was succeeded by Mr. Frank H. Burke, who had previously held the position of Vice-Principal and Acting-Principal during Mr. Holden’s leave of absence. In September, 1932, the system of double sessions was adopted so that a greater enrollment might be accommodated. Until the practice was abandoned in 1934, the student body numbered more than 2200. Today Weaver houses approximately 1600 sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The freshman is no longer with us since the advent of the junior high schools. [ 10 ] Weaver, today, is a veritable den of activity, for the school can boast of numerous organizations, among the most prominent being the “Girls’ League”, founded in 1924, and The Lookout, established in 1925. The Inkspot is the most recent addition to the list of student activities. Weaver athletic squads have been noted always for their outstanding sportsmanship on the field. Weaver’s greatest victory, no doubt, is the Thanksgiving Day win over H. P. H. S. in 1931 when the Green and White carried home the prized City Title in football. The years slip swiftly by as students come and go through Weaver’s famed portals. Yet the magnificent edifice that is Weaver will stand for years to come as a constant reminder of our younger days which will mean so much to all of us who have spent them within these “halls of learning.’ [ 11 ] PORTAL BOARD Front Row, Left to Right — Miller, Mann, Wicks, Welch, Hoffman, Booma, Lajoie, Brynga, Beresky, Ritvo.

HISTORY OF THE PORTAL From the founding of our institution, Weaver High School, in 1924 until 1934, each senior class chose a different title for the class yearbook. At that time, two books a year appeared because of the half year promotion system. The Portal originated with the class of 1934A, and the name has been used ever since for all class books. Leon S. Plaut served as the editor-in-chief of that first Portal; Edwin Ballenger, as the business man¬ ager. At the time, Mr. Raymond F. Bosworth of the English department supervised the editorial board. Mr. F. Eliot Larrabee became adviser in the fall of 1935. Mr. Robert P. Cunningham has served as adviser for the busi¬ ness board since 1933.

Cunningham [ 13 ] MR. WILLARD C. SISSON Amid the thrill of graduation — the anticipation of venturing forth as matured young men and women to seek our positions in the world, we pause respectfully to honor the memory of a real gentleman, a most beloved member of our faculty, Mr. Willard C. Sisson, who died on February 6, 1938. As we linger, in our mind’s eye, we recreate a portrait of this cherished friend. We vision again his calm, poised mannerisms — inconspicuous yet vibrant; we hear o’nce more his friendly voice as he puts us at ease, whether issuing forth scientific facts or subtle humor; we feel that ever-present admiration for his brilliant mind and his sincere efforts to interest and stimulate us in his fields of instruction — physiology and biology.

BURKE When we entered Weaver High School, we were not a little afraid and awed by the man at the desk, Mr. Frank H. Burke, Principal. He represented complete authority, irrevocable decision, and firmness of purpose. Now that we are leaving high school, we know through our association with Mr. Burke that he does stand for authority, decision, and firmness, but these sterling qualities, are tempered by the understanding, fairness, and tolerance that have gained him a place in our memories as a willing guide to help us over the “tough spots.” Goodbye, Mr. Burke. May you ever keep that inner youth and vitality that made you not only our principal but our friend! MISS FAITH TALCOTT Quiet in manner, wise in advice, sympathetic, helpful and efficient in all her dealings with students, Miss Faith Talcott has emphasized womanly con¬ duct as an attainable goal. She has aided the Girls’ League in becoming a significant and prominent influence in the life of the school. Her much ap¬ preciated spirit of co-operation and judicious guidance have also been in¬ strumental in promoting Weaver dances and various other scholastic affairs. To be a leader among people requires many laudable talents, to be a leader of youth demands in addition the qualities of unfailing patience and understand¬ ing which Miss Talcott has always shown to our class during our careers at Weaver.

Although his club activities were few, he was a wel¬ come enthusiast at school dances and eagerly supported other school projects. Amiable and agreeable, Arnie ' s worries are few, for his carefree philosophy of life keeps him happy. Baseball Squad; Basketball Squad. MARGERY ABRAMS Tall and dark, Marge’s Duch¬ ess of Windsor flair for clothes ex¬ hibits itself in her engaging appear¬ ance. A complacent fatalist, she wends her casual way humming to herself “what is to be must be.” You could usually spy her huddled in the bleachers at all the football games, no matter how the wind whipped and blustered around corners. Girls’ League. BERTHA ADLER Generally speaking, Bertie is generally speaking. Her round face belied any seriousness she claimed, and her irrepressible snicker amused many an unsus¬ pecting class. Bertie” is rated as a darn good kid” and can always be depended upon to lighten some poor discouraged heart. Girls’ League. KENNETH ALBRECHT Here’s a fan for swing music. At the mention of Benny Goodman, Kenny ” gets all a-twitter. Kenny ” has a sparkling eye when in con¬ ference with a gal —- the femmes think he’s cute. In spite of his chatter about swing music and Goodman, we all liked him! Lookout Editorial and Business Boards. CHRISTINE ALLEN A true friend whose sweet dis¬ position has gained her wide popu¬ larity! Chris’ extreme fondness for sewing accounts for the many chic” sport frocks of her own creation worn during the semes¬ ters. However, her heart and soul lie in serving humanity; conse¬ quently, she plans to enter Lincoln Training School to prepare herself for this work. Girls’ League. CELIA ALTSHULER Babe ' spends her spare moments knitting and reading, though she confesses a violent dislike for books written in the first person. Her vocal ability makes her the envy of us all; this talent, combined with her natural enthusiasm, sunny disposition, and vivacious manner, should insure Babe” success on the stage of life. Choir; C. H. L. S., President; German Club, Vice-President, Girls’ League; Glee Club. ARNOLD ANDELMAN From the pages of Esquire” Arnold might have stepped, if his immaculate clothes could tell his history. With his thoughts on his saxophone and clarinet, female admirers gazed in vain at Andy’s” good looks as he strolled through Weaver’s corridors. His favorite diversion being music, Arnie” studies music composition and arrangement to occupy his leisure hours. Glee Club; Inter-High Orches¬ tra; Lookout Editorial Board; Or¬ chestra. BERNICE ANDERSON In Swede’s girlish and beguiling manner, we detect a certain note of smart sophistication and serene poise which served only to en¬ hance her slim, blonde appear¬ ance. Indeed, we must speak of her hair, for her interest lies in hairdressing and her up-to-the- minute coiffure attracted attention and praise wherever she went. Choir; Girls’ League. DOROTHY E. ANDERSON Dot ' s red topknot has shone as a beacon light about Weaver halls. Her classmates have greatly appreciated her good-natured quips in the classroom as well as on the dance floor where she excels. An energetic and skillful horsewoman, Dot has become a w ' ell-known figure on the Keney Park bridle paths. Art-Crafts Club, Vice-President, Treasurer; Girls League; Dramatic Club; Matinee Dance Committee; Reception Committee. DOROTHY P. ANDERSON Dot ' s” completely naive atti¬ tude has endeared her to more than one Weaverite. She wields a powerful racquet both on and off the tennis court, and her scholastic record puts another feather in her cap. Endowed with all of nature’s best, Dot” is most aptly de¬ scribed by four simple words: the true American girl. Girls’ League, Treasurer; French Club, President; Latin Club; Look - out Editorial Board; Honor So¬ ciety; Prophetess. CHARLES ANDREWS Prof,” our great mathematician and scientist, spends his spare time tinkering with radios and electrical devices, and he merely laughs at the loss of a finger or two in his experiments! A man of many talents, Prof” also chauffeurs and plays the clarinet. Of late, he seems to have become quite a lady ' s man. Dramatic Club; Lookout Edito¬ rial Board; Orchestra; Motto Com¬ mittee. EDWARD APREA This young chap proved him¬ self a thorough business man by his brisk manner and willing co¬ operation in the classroom. Few students really knew him well, for Ed” spent most of his time de¬ voting himself to the preparation of his daily studies. He intends to enter the business world, and there he will find an excellent op¬ portunity to put his practical knowledge and winning personality to work. Boys’ Commercial Club; Portal Board. ELEANOR BACON El,” the second Eleanor Powell, is going places.” Her taps echo through the halls, as she trips’ along to her classes. While trip¬ ping along, her shining counten¬ ance beams, as she smiles at friends. We have never seen her angry or blue and everyone is for her. El” is the real kind of girl we are all proud to have known. Girls’ League; Girls ' Leaders ' Corps; Choir; Glee Club, Librarian; Girls’ Sports. SYLVIA BAGGISH Small and dark, Sylvia displays an interest and enthusiasm in all her activities which make her popular and w 7 ell-liked by every¬ one. In her spare time she enjoys and excels in several hobbies among which are skating, dancing, and swimming. Sylvia plans a ca¬ reer in the business world where we are sure she will be an asset. Girls’ Business Club; Girls ' League. PAULINE BARANOWSKI Adorable is the word for jolly Paul” with her turned up nose and lovely eyes. That smile is al¬ ways there — she seems to be bubbling over with amusement. More than a few Weaver males will swear that she is the most “indifferentest” person! Someone ought to tack Angel on to her list of nicknames. She actually had no demerits! Oh innocence! What’s more she gets good marks, has no bad friends, and dances well. Girls’ League; Typist for The Lookout ; Girls’ Business Club; Color Committee. LEATRICE BARON Lea, a lover of the fine arts, devoted her school days to music, poetry, and art, and in the latter, she achieved high honors as a top- notch artist. Her blithe uncon¬ cern and unique singing and speak¬ ing voice set her apart from her chums, and assure her the fulfill¬ ment of a successful radio career — we sincerely hope. Art-Crafts Club; Girls’ League. SAMUEL BARON “Butch ' s” rotund figure as well as his humorous observations will be sorely missed in these halls of learning. His ready wit has light¬ ened many a dull moment. His many interests outside of school in¬ clude skating and football. Butch plugged along faithfully as assist¬ ant manager of football. ALBERT BASCH “Slug’s” easy-going, nonchalant disposition has endeared him to many. Things may go wrong, but they never seem to ruffle him. He has many outside hobbies, but is especially interested in sports, stamp-collecting, and photography. From such attractive activities he should gain much happiness. SELMA BASS A true-blue Girl Scout! Selma scurried energetically through school cheerfully and willingly doing her daily good deed. One of our greatest disillusionments came when this modern Goldi¬ locks,” as she might aptly have been termed, cut off her long golden curls. Showing promise as a budding young singer and tap dancer, Selma has been rapidly perfecting herself in these arts. Girls’ League. LAWRENCE BATTISTA The secret of “Larry’s” success is his enviable nonchalance, which he displays at all times. Apparently he doesn’t believe in looking for trouble, and consequently his brow remains unclouded. “Larry” is in¬ terested in all sports, especially golf, and designs very fine model airplanes. HERBERT BASCH “Scuts,” one of our leading punsters, shines with dry yet sparkling humor. His self-chosen shyness among femmes is offset by his loyalty to the members of his own sex. Athletically, “Scuts” is a big little man and often over¬ shadows his larger teammates on the field of play. He has a bright, prospective medical career before him and a fine high school record behind him. HELEN BEIZER A brunette songstress of the Gladys Swarthout type, Helen has distinguished herself in warbling the notes of the scale while at Weaver. Her unassuming behavior and decorous manner make Helen the delight of the Emily Post School. A friendly spirit of co¬ operation and citizenship also ac¬ count for her popularity. Choir; Girls’ League. HARRY BASKIND “Hairy,” no, I don ' t mean Harry, shines when magicians are mentioned. Being an admirer of the Great Houdini, “Hairy” hopes some day to rival the unbelievable feats of the “Great One.” Harry thinks his disappearing act would come in handy on some of his “off- days.” But, as yet, he hasn’t suc¬ ceeded in perfecting this trick! LORRAINE BENOIT “Lorry” has deceived us with her silent attitude of indifference — but — now we know the truth. A jubilant countenance has be¬ trayed its owner, and we see “Lorry” as a person with a pleas¬ ingly alert humor, which has finally been disclosed. Hold on to it, “Lorry.” It’s a great asset. Girls’ League. MILDRED BENSON Adapting the philosophy Peace and good will to all,” Mildred moved serenely through school life with a gentle dignity and quiet charm. Mere words cannot express glowingly and adequately enough her talent as a violinist. The in¬ tense fervor, the deep feeling, and the study she puts into her play¬ ing truly awe any listener and lover of the violin. German Club; Girls’ League; Latin Club; Inter-High Orchestra; Orchestra, Librarian. BERTRAM BERENSON One of the most common sights in school was to see Buddy’ hurrying through the halls, loaded down with books, intent on his next class. Very diligent in his studies, he was one of Weaver’s most earnest students. Although rather shy and retiring, he has nevertheless gained many friends among the students and faculty. FLORENCE BERESKY Flo,” this sweet, lilting, auburn¬ haired miss of our dreams, charmed all her friends, and a friend to all she certainly was. An organizer par-excellence and teeming with an enthusiastic vivacious energy plus a zest for work and play, she won our respect with her inimitable whirlwind style on The Look¬ out.” Ready, willing, and able — That’s our Flo. Girls’ League, First Vice-Presi¬ dent; Honor Society; Ingleside Club; Junior Prom Committee; Lookout Editorial Board, Editor- in-Chief; Portal Board; Color Committee. JACK BERKMAN This young man who aims to be a court stenographer has al¬ ready set his feet on the chosen path. He is so used to the dom¬ inating numbers of girls in his Stenography classes that he feels ill at ease if not surrounded by “femmes. He possesses, in addi¬ tion to his nimble fingers, a charm¬ ing, wide, wide grin and a fine voice. Choir; Glee Club. BENNETT BERMAN Not mentioning Ben’s musical inclination would be doing him a big injustice. Ben is one of the few saxophone players who has been able to withstand the missiles tossed at his unfortunate group! Besides playing in the Weaver band, Ben has played in numer¬ ous outside swing orchestras. This fellow rates the title of class giant — yes, he’s a big fellow! ELEANOR BERNERT Versatile “El ! Sunday morn¬ ings may find her atop a horse on the riding paths, and week-end evenings at her favorite rendez¬ vous— the Bond. With the charm of Marie Antoinette, the poise of Victoria, and a personality all her own, El has a following of in¬ numerable male admirers, and as many lucky friends. C. H. L. S.; Chemistry Club; Girls’ League, President; Lookout Editorial Board, Organization Edi¬ tor; Girls’ Sports. HYMEN BERNSTEIN Leigh” constitutes Weaver’s tall, dark, and handsome.” The girls can ' t help envying that dark curly hair. Leigh is considered a dresser of the sporty type — you know, trousers ending above the ankles! That flashy gray Packard completes the rather collegiate pic¬ ture. SHAYE BERNSTEIN Shaye has the distinction of being one of those rare individuals who can utter nary a word and still have everyone pleasingly con¬ scious of her presence. Her sweet voice lends refinement to any con¬ versation, and she’s fortunate in possessing talent — both for draw¬ ing and singing. Lucky the pupils who some day will have this pa¬ trician beauty as the instructor in their classroom! Art-Crafts Club; Choir; Girls League; Color Committee, Chair¬ man. BERNHARD BIEDERMAN This stellar man loves to take his trusty rifle and good ol ' fishing pole on a beautiful sunny morn and go hunting and fishing far away from the wiles of feminine hunters. Bernie ’ consistently per¬ sisted in affably heckling the teachers for those test results (Re¬ member?) which no one else had the courage to ask for. SARAH BIRD Sally is another of the maids who believe that Silence is golden. Slim of build and quiet in manner, she maintains a true expression of poise which auto¬ matically causes anyone addressing her to lower his voice to more peaceful and refined tones. She likes to sketch and can truly be pictured before an easel drawing scenes of beauty and unreality. Girls’ League. JAMES BLACK Jimmy certainly was a regu¬ lar fellow with his spontaneous happy-go-lucky manner and his diverting line of chatter. Also rated as quite the flash on the dance floor Jimmy’s career in baseball in the pitcher’s box will be remembered for many a day to come, for he succeeded in pitching Weaver to victory frequently, using his famous fast ball. Baseball team. HANNAH BOARDMAN Although not an original Wea- verite, Hannah has fared well in our school. Possessed of a rich and deep blues voice, she once won a wrist-watch for her rendi¬ tion of Blue Prelude on one of the Amateur programs. Her present plans include continuing her sing¬ ing as a career. Maybe we shall hear our classmate over the waves of radio some day! Girls’ League. DOROTHY BOGIN During two short years, Dot ' s dancing feet have gathered a gal¬ lery of admirers. She always seems to be in a hurry except when going to Latin class — the delight of her life! Dot will never be bored, nor will her com¬ panions, for she has that rare gift of humor and knows how to use it. Girls’ League; Latin Club. LUCILLE BONADIES Interesting is the word for Lu¬ cille. An expert skater, swimmer or horsewoman, in fact an expert in any sport, Lolly” could hold her own against any athletic girl and still manage to look charm¬ ing. Possessing a pair of snapping dark eyes and shining black hair, few could resist her fatal charm and her hospitable quality of put¬ ting a person at ease. Art-Crafts Club; Glee Club; Girls’ Leaders ' Corps. GRACE BOOMA All the girls have envied Grace’s qualities at some time of their high school career. She has figured in many school activities, social and scholastic: her skating is of excellent quality, her school¬ girl complexion is superlative, her popularity undeniable, and some moonstruck male is always seek¬ ing an introduction. What more can anyone want?

MILTON BOOTH Calling all gals! Calling all guys! Be on welcome lookout for this regular” fellow. Height: 5 ' 5 ; hair: wavy brown. Char¬ acteristics: a ready raillery, a store of book lamin’, a multitude of lucky admirers, and an out¬ stretched hand to all newcomers who thrive on sincerity. Reward for acquaintance: an opportunity for a genuine friendship! ELIZABETH BORICHEWSKY Who would ever guess that such a meek quiet student as Butch” (a no demerits gal) would be one of our star athletes! Watch any girls’ athletic contest, and you will see her lithe form in the cen¬ ter of action. She has entertained us with Russian dances and music, and is known as a good sport and a swell friend. Girls’ Sports; Girls ' Leaders ' Corps; Girls ' League; Honor So¬ ciety. MARY BORNSTEIN Toots” has more pictures, cards, and souvenirs collected than you can shake a stick at. She plunged through her classes worrying as they came and trying to outguess the teachers. When she smiles, she reminds one of a toothpaste “ad” — her mouth stretches from ear to ear! She is an active sportswoman, and possesses real athletic ability. She is a good sport at any and every time. Girls’ League; Girls’ Sports. LORETTA BRADLEY Have you done your what- cha-might call it yet? Oh, boy! It must be Loretta coming around the corner. Why don t you take time out, Loretta, to make up a whole new language of your own? You have practicall x done so al¬ ready. Not once in her three years at Weaver has Loretta been tardy or absent. Here’s wishing you luck, Loretta. Chemistry Club; Girls League; Ingleside Club; Girls’ Leaders’ Corps. SAMUEL BRAND Sammy” might well be termed “Swingin Sam as he plays either the saxophone or the clarinet with equal skill and dexterity — and can he play! His interpretation of Clyde McCoy’s Sugar Blues” start feet tapping and hearts singing. Aside from music Sammy” turns to chemistry as another hobby and altogether makes an interesting and diverting companion. Chemistry Club. ELSIE BRENNER Elsie’s interesting personality and charming smile have gained her many friends in Weaver who will regret her departure into the cold, cruel world. She has many delightful hobbies, among them swimming, skating, and stamp col¬ lecting. Girls’ League. ALMA BRIGHTMAN Kitty’s” approach was heralded by a spasm of riotous giggles and mild shrieks of laughter. Going- steady” ranks first as her favorite pastime, and we dare say that she hadn ' t much trouble in mastering this hobby. Upon stepping foot in Weaver, Alma embarked upon an eventful prankish career, and her escapades are yet to be equaled by any up-and-coming mischief- maker. Choir; Girls’ League; Girls’ Sports. ELEANOR BRIGHTMAN A flash of white teeth, a glimpse into bewitching brown eyes, and this gal of a dozen lovable charms flies by, either to pursue her in¬ terest in art or to relate to an enthusiastic friend where one of her multitude of fans escorted her last night.” And no wonder, for “Ellie’s” enchanting smile, radiant personality, and easy wit make her a much-desired companion. Art-Crafts Club; C. H. L. S.: Girls’ League; Lookout Editorial Board. MILDRED BRODY Mil” suggested Shep Field’s “Rippling Rhythm,” for she fairly bubbled forth mirth and gayety. But don’t mistake us, this gal was certainly one of the better students of the class, and she almost never failed to make the Honor Roll, and incidentally to make her man. As to her “profession-to-be,” a stenographer of course — and a good one at that. Girls’ Business Club; Girls League, Secretary; Portal Board, Typist; Honor Society; Girls Sports. JEANETTE BRYNGA If ever here lived a person per¬ sonifying the meaning of versatil¬ ity, that person is Jeanette. Art, dramatics, poetry, and music com¬ prise but a few of her varied in¬ terests, and she excels in them all as well as in her studies. Add to these talents, a character full of wit, fun, and laughter, and your result is a girl most decidedly popu¬ lar with both sexes. A Cappella Cnoir; Choir; Dra¬ matic Club, President; Girls League; Glee Club; Honor Society; Latin Club; Portal Board; Essay¬ ist. HARRIET BURGESS Harriet’s nickname Butch” will not scare those people w’ho know how good humored, cheerful, and considerate her character really is. She intimates that her future years will be spent taking care of her twin brothers, but we think that if her present beau remains as He- voted as he is, she’ll be taking care of her own home and twins. A Cappella Choir; Girls’ League; Glee Club; Choir. RUTH BURGESS We got Ruth from Bulkeley and shall lose her to a Providence hos¬ pital where she intends to enter training to be a nurse. Although she appears to be the steady type with both feet on the ground, in her secret heart she is interested in aviation. She used to set an ex¬ ample by ambling through Wea¬ ver’s halls in an artistic smock, and can boast of having never irritated a teacher to the extent of getting — a demerit. ARTHUR BURNS This dashing, young Lochin- var,” swaggering down the hall set all feminine hearts fluttering (especially one) with his wide grin! His boundless capacity for fun and unlimited wit enliven any atmosphere, no matter how gloomy. While at Weaver, “Art” has be¬ come the originator of many rib¬ tickling pranks, the author of which has long mystified every¬ one. HAROLD BUTLER Harold may not be able to see over ball park fences, but cheer up, Napoleon was no giant. He takes a very active part in or¬ chestras, and may be seen playing his little sax” in some of the finer student orchestras. Butler is quite a “jolly chap” who livens up any group in which he is present. Chemistry Club; Inter-High Or¬ chestra; Orchestra. FRANCINA CADGER Fran ' s” good natured smile re¬ flects her placid, benign spirit. She calmly takes studies, teachers, etc. in her stride and never seems to be worried or provoked. Instead of borrowing, as most Weaver femmes” do, Fran” is always lending something to those in need. Very interested in athletic events, she’s a wonder on the ice. Girls’ League; Typist for Look¬ out; Girls’ Business Club; Honor Society. EUGENIE BURNESS Jeannie’s” tall, regal appear¬ ance often misleads persons as to her true age. She ' s a swell sport and enthusiastic for all novel, ex¬ citing adventures. Her date-book is often overflowing, and she finds extra pleasure in later relating her fun to interested friends. C. H. L. S.; Choir; Girls’ League; Glee Club. MARJORIE CAFFREY “Margy is not shy! She just has a permanent heart interest else¬ where. Try to bear up, ye Wea¬ ver males. Her sweet smile is authentic, and her likeable nature wifi help her achieve her ambition to be a good homemaker. C. H. L. S.; Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ League. MILDRED CANTOR Red, fiery red hair, and an ami¬ able, affable disposition! A rare combination indeed! By nature, a sympathetic, tactful person, any¬ one could get along with “Milly.” She displayed an inimitable ability on the soccer field, which proved an enviable asset to the ever-vic- torious senior team. Girls’ League; Soccer. MURIEL CARBONNEAU Assets — good figure, dances well, wide grin, dark hair, turned- up nose. Frenchy all Weaver- ites knew, because of her loyalty, her numerous sisters, and her love of a chase. Her contributions to Weaver include her entertaining habits in study hall as well as her activities as a ” Lookout worker. Girls’ Sports; Girls’ League; Ingleside Club; Lookout Business Board. ROGER CARNEY With Sir Walter Raleighian gallantry, “Rog” obligingly held open the swing doors for the weaker sex and made himself gen¬ erally agreeable and accommodat¬ ing to them! He has distinguished himself in the classroom by his conscientiousness and x good will toward everyone. His artistic ac¬ complishments display a great pro¬ ficiency and talent in creative fields. Art-Crafts Club, Secretary, Vice- President, Treasurer; Chemistry Club; Dramatic Club. EDWARD CARROLL “Ed” does well in everything he tries and still succeeds in main¬ taining a quiet, modest demeanor which both his classmates and his teachers found charming. A liter¬ ary fellow — he finds enjoyment in reading and music, yet takes time out to indulge in athletics. Portal Board. SONIA CARROLL Enthusiasm and Sonia go hand in hand. Her excitement, espe¬ cially at football games, could neither be equalled nor surpassed. “Son’s” chief ambition in life is to be an expert in something, she doesn’t care what. Here’s wish¬ ing her luck in whatever she tries. She certainly should be a success if she works as hard as she did while here at Weaver. Chemistry Club; Girls ' League; Honor Society. ANNA CARTER Anna could certainly “strut her stuff when it came to the gentle art of dancing. In addition, she possessed a fine clear rhythmic voice — well, what more could you ask for? But homemaking rates first place in her heart. Indeed, she contemplates becoming a Home “Ec.” Teacher. ELIZABETH CARTER Elizabeth’s habit of tantalizingly drawling her words always made her impatient listeners literally hang on each syllable. But her ap¬ parent languor and lackadaisical air disappeared when swing music hove into view—and jumpin grasshoppers, how that girl could “truck” and “susie Q ’! Aside from this, her favorite indoor sport was attending the latest show in town. Glee Club. ANNA CECERE Take a ready smile, a good lis¬ tener and just as good a talker, not a fat but a pleasingly plump figure, and you have “Cic.” Anna yearns to travel far and wide but intends to remain in Hartford long enough to attend Saint Joseph ' s College. May luck be yours in your travels, Anna. Girls’ League; Ingleside Club. JOHN CHILDS Diminutive Johnny” dances di¬ vinely, smiles sunnily, and flirts frequently. His “butch” is a no¬ ticeable difference from the wavy glory of most Weaver Romeos but seems to fit his square cranium handsomely. Let it not be said that his attributes are merely physi¬ cal, for the boy possesses an intel¬ ligence that has put itself to work on many worthy school activities. Junior Prom Committee; Recep¬ tion Committee. VIVAN CHRISTENSEN How “V” can play the ' cello! A familiar sight it is to see her carry¬ ing her instrument back and forth to rehearsals. She certainly has the faculty for producing sweet music and has impressed us as being more musical than talkative. And music isn’t all that interests her; sports occupy a prominent spot in her extra-curricular activ¬ ities. Girls ' League; Orchestra; Girls Sports. ANGELA CIARLEGLIO Angie,” a pal who seems to know just everybody at Weaver, radiates cheerfulness at all times; with self-confidence she frankly speaks, yet we never feel a sting in that frankness. Among her out¬ standing features are her eyes, slanting and “wicked,” and her super-sensitive skin. Her gener¬ osity is gratifying, and her friend¬ ship steady. Girls’ League; Girls’ Sports; Portal Business Board; Chemistry Club. LEONARD CLAVAN Although not noted for his shy¬ ness, “Lenny” is nevertheless liked by all who know him. He has been prominent in athletics, hav¬ ing been a member of both the track and football teams for three years. His special hobbies are sea¬ manship and the Boy Scouts of America, in which he holds a high position. Football Team; Track Squad; Boys’ Commercial Club. MARTIN CLIMAN It’s a miracle that “Stretch” didn t tie himself into a knot while trying to park his long frame com¬ fortably in the classroom seats. His sense of humor and good na¬ ture are the factors which kept him from giving up in despair. His greatest ambition is to design the super-streamlined automobile. Choir; Glee Club. BENJAMIN COHEN Just recently ' Ben migrated to Weaver from Hartford High, but it seems that he has always been one of us. A well-known figure at all dances and other social gatherings, “Ben” surely kept well informed as to what was going on. He intends to study medicine and make it his profession. EDITH COHEN “Edie,” one of the elite of our class, enjoys the distinction of being a twin. What fun! Her cute manner and humorous exploits have been a source of constant pleasure to us. A mischievous nature and a friendly personality make her a great favorite with both girls and boys. Girls’ Business Club, President; Girls League; Honor Society; Latin Club; Ring Committee. ELIHU COHEN Typifying a Greek athlete of an¬ cient history, “El ' s” blond, tower¬ ing head can be immediately spotted among a group of sport fans. Conservative in manner, his appearance seems to radiate a re¬ freshing personality, and his wide circle of friends is sufficient proof of his amicable nature. Camera Club: Football Squad. FRANCES COHEN Although she doesn’t start much of a rumpus, “Fran” manages to accomplish things in her own quiet way. Firm in her determination, she has a knack of getting work done, and done well. Like many of her friends, she intends to in¬ vade the business world. Here’s hoping you make good, “Fran.” Girls’ League; Honor Society. HELEN COHEN The glowing sun must spend some of his most enjoyable mo¬ ments shedding his rays on Helen’s shining tresses. He even reflects some on her features to aid in giv¬ ing forth that envied peach-and- cream complexion. More char- acteristics?--A whimsical giggle, a lure to stag-lines on dance floors, and a sincere admiration for sports! Girls’ League. LILLIAN COHEN Lil” proved her ability as a track athlete by her last second dashes to her seat in 227. She likes basketball and baseball; in¬ deed it would be hard to find any “sport” in which she not in¬ terested. Not only is she an ath¬ lete, but she also is adept at danc¬ ing and warbles well. Her ambi¬ tion is to be a store clerk and exercise her amiable disposition on her customers. Girls’ League; Girls’ Sports. MANUEL COHEN “Manny” came to school with a new accent every day, and it was only by supreme will power that we unfortunate victims con¬ trolled ourselves. Another form of torture was his puny puns, some of which were published in the Scoop,” that portion of our paper given over to dishing out the good earth.” Boys’ Commercial Club, Treas¬ urer; Track Squad; Lookout Edito¬ rial Board; Safety Club; Tie Com¬ mittee. MYER COHEN Myer has been noticed many a lime loping down the corridors, with his nonchalant, devil-may- care attitude. Some of the fel¬ lows may envy his entire diffidence as regards the opposite sex, for it is rarely that he bows so low as even to speak to them. Never¬ theless, those who have been for¬ tunate enough to penetrate this puzzling enigma, have found a true friend and associate. NORMAN COHEN “Norm” possesses a few prac¬ tical joking tendencies which often result in his friends’ resorting to drastic measures for protection. Being an originator of bad puns, he does, however, manage to pull one every now and then with enough punch to be appreciated. “Norm” can be considered a sports fan of the nth degree. He’ll even name the Yankees ' bat boy if you ask him! Camera Club; German Club; Tie Committee. RUTH COHEN Despite her petite stature, Ruthie has displayed unusual vitality and vigor, especially dur¬ ing the summer months which are spent at the seashore. She has proven herself quite active in all sports and found much inspiration on the dance floor. Her hearty smile and pitch black hair — so neatly kept —- have added consid¬ erably to her cheerful disposition Girls’ Business Club, Vice-Presi¬ dent and Treasurer. SIDNEY COHEN The rays of “Sonny ' s” “sunny” disposition have permeated Wea¬ ver now for four whole years and should indeed leave a lasting glow in the corridors. Although a mere “mite, this fellow has gatheerd more friends than a man with a newly-acquired fortune. Those twinkling eyes of his won’t be for¬ gotten for a long time either. Honor Society; Portal Board. SIDNEY R. COHEN Sid’s” skill in athletics and natu¬ ral good looks confirmed his posi¬ tion as idol of the male and heart- throb of the female population. A cool, level-headed player on both the diamond and the basketball court, Sid has set an example which any good athlete and student may do well to follow. Baseball; Basketball. DAVID COHN Dave strolled through four years at Weaver with the air of a prosperous, contented business man. He aspires to the local mayoralty, but then, there ' s always the street department. Most recent reports reveal that Dave occupies his spare moments in the merry task of slicing ham — or maybe we’ve been informed incorrectly. Cross Country. MARION COLBY Jolly lived up to her name with all the exuberant good nature she possessed. Never irritated, never perturbed or provoked, Jolly” teemed with a roguish enthusiasm for fun and laughter, but seriously, all kidding aside, Marion has set her heart upon a nursing career and we honestly think she’ll make a first rate nurse. Girls’ League. BARBARA COLTON Feeling the security of the adage, Speak when you are spoken to,” Barbara does just that! — A firm believer in inconspicuousness, this composed maiden trod through her years in Weaver observing rather than being observed. Modest and unaffected, we can picture Bab¬ bie” as a typical nurse or social worker. Girls’ League; Ingleside Club. HERBERT COLTON Herb” is interested in the chain gang management, oh, pardon me, Herb,” we mean chain store man¬ agement. Besides looking forward to a bright future, Herbert also in¬ tends to continue with his worth¬ while hobbies, which include radio and the electric field in general. WALTER COONS Since Ged has joined the Na¬ tional Guard, many of his friends (guess who!) have been trying to catch glimpses of him during pa¬ rade drills through the narrow win¬ dows of the State Armory. It’s no wonder — for Ged must cut a pretty picture in his uniform! THERESA CORRIGAN Theresa is another student whose ambitions led her to make a “dou¬ ble”; thus she joined the class of ' 38. Although we had little op¬ portunity to learn her intimate likes and dislikes, her friendly per¬ sonality is known to us all. Ter¬ ry’s” main hobby is sports in which she participated frequently while in Weaver. Girls’ League; Girls’ Sports. MARY COSTELLO Irish, as true a colleen as ever entered Weaver’s portals, quietly wended her way through her four years, perhaps not universally known but well liked by certain friends. She frequently took time out to engage in ber favorite sport, baseball. We earnestly believe Coach Stone lost a good pitcher when this level-headed girl didn’t go out for the team! Good luck, Mary! Girls’ League; Girls’ Sports. MATHEW CROVITZ Take a large portion of brawn, several pinches of a peppery tem¬ per, and one large engaging grin. Mix thoroughly and you have ' Mat. ' ’ His inspired playing in football helped Weaver toward victory and, incidentally, caused lusty cheers from many fair coeds in the bleachers. His winning per¬ sonality forebodes success! Football team. OLGA DANYLIW A daisy to Oily who can boast that never did she fill out one of those too familiar demerit slips, nor did she ever come to a stop in the waiting line at Jasper s desk. De¬ spite this angelic record she will collect menus, and thus worry res¬ taurant, diner, and hotel owners by this buccaneering. Girls’ League. HUSTON CRUTCHFIELD Although of inconsequential height, Huston furnished some stiff competition to others during the track season; in fact, anything in the sports world interests him and his ever-increasing knowledge of the track records, football scores, etc., is amazing. What mystified his pals was how this lad could loiter consistently every morning going to school and yet maintain a never tardy record! JENNIE CUSANELLI The song Dark Eyes might have been written just for Jennie, and her dark hair and skin and her small face suggest another Nile charmer. She is one of Weaver’s quietest characters, never heard from even when her teachers call on her! Under this false front, however, she possesses an ability to write good poetry and a charm¬ ing friendliness and responsiveness. Chemistry Club; Girls ' League; Ingleside Club. MORRIS DARLING Muzzy,” a familiar sight strut¬ ting through the halls, grinning sardonically, continuously cocked his eye appreciably at some bit of feminine pulchritude. What a fig¬ ure he cut scoring the winning touchdown or executing a neat piece of high-steppin on the dance floor! A flashlight wit (Eveready). Muzzy excelled in his ability for getting in — and out — of jams. Football; Basketball; Baseball. FLORENCE DAVENPORT Florence, stately and tall, walked the corridors as if too proud to look either right or left. Yet, we know this is not true, for her friendliness elsewhere was quite hearty. From various reports we learned that Flo” spent many of her after school hours during her Senior year in writing articles and The Scoop for The Lookout. Girls’ League; Lookout Editorial Board. ZERALINE CUSHMAN Look for a quiet girl with a nice smile and the pleasantest of man¬ ners, and you will find Zerlie.” Her placid and unruffled disposi¬ tion has won the admiration of us all, and her prowess in cooking and sewing is unequaled. We wish the best of luck to Zerlie” know¬ ing that she, in turn, will give only her best to society. Girls’ League. BEATRICE DAVIDSON You may see Bunny” astride a galloping horse, or hiding behind a big banjo, as her interests range from sports to opera. Don’t let her innocent air and quiet manner deceive you; she is full of pep with a never failing sense of humor. Incidentally — she has a fond pas¬ sion for cats, and her pet aversions are snakes and mathematics. Girls’ League; Ingleside Club; Inkspot Staff. ELIZABETH DAVIS Bette’s slogan might well be A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse! a good horse! any kind of horse! A good rider, Bette pursues her studies with equal suc¬ cess. Popular with her classmates, she enjoys a good joke and has a very keen sense of humor. We ex¬ pect a brilliant career — both so¬ cial and vocational — awaits Bette. French Club, Secretary; Girls’ League; Chemistry Club. DANIEL DeFELICE Chem students were astounded at Daniel ' s remarkable memory, for he usually remembered equations and formulas which had long since been forgotten by the rest of the class. A transfer from another school, we soon found out about his good work in chemistry and physics, and he became entrenched in the minds of his classmates as a valuable friend. JANE DELLIS Tall and dark, one of our best dressers, Suzy” has drawn many a second glance and caused many a sigh in the hearts of our young •gentlemen. She has plans of be¬ coming an interior decorator which we think will bring out her ability and good taste to best advantage. Girls’ League. SYLVIA DENOWITZ Dramatics, always Tivy’s” chief interest, afforded an avenue for her talent which amused Wea- verites. We enjoyed her humorous sketches and impersonations! Syl¬ via’s hopes include college where she should make an excellent rec¬ ord because of her conscientious¬ ness in everything she undertakes. Her congeniality and conservatism have won her many friends. Here’s to our future Helen Hayes! Dramatic Club; Girls’ League; Safety Club. ALEX DIACHENKO With his forceful determination and charming lack of sophistica¬ tion, “Al” proved to be the staunchest of friends. A good sport, but not the sporty type, this strong, silent man caused many a fair damsel’s heart to go pitter- patter. Whether he was pluggin’ away in his studies or up thar ' in the forward line on the football team, “Al always merited a hearty cheer. Honor Society; Football, Cap¬ tain; Track; Baseball; Class Mar¬ shal. MARY DIANA Mary ' s favorite sport was bicycle riding, but she took the Safe Driving Course” and now she flashes around the countryside a la motor. She proved a faithful friend who would always lend a helping hand. As a result, Mary has an ever-widening circle of charmed acquaintances. Girls’ League. ELEANOR DiBATTISTA What would a football game have been without Eddy’s whis¬ tle and her lusty cheering? What school spirit! Her spare moments Eleanor spends in catching up with her reading. Textbooks? Def¬ initely not, she admits. Eddy” was afflicted with Burns’ a while back, but she has recuperated since. Eddy says she will re¬ member Weaver always because of her gym classes. Couldn’t you take it, Eddy ? Girls ' League. CHARLES DOBRUCK Charlie” commands the atten¬ tion of everyone as soon as his deep, low voice sounds, no matter how trivial the subject. Charlie” plans to attend an accounting school, but many of his friends ex¬ pect to be pleasantly surprised some day by hearing his voice coming over the radio — which is very probable, too. Boys’ Commercial Club. RUTH DOLGORUCK A charming raillery which she can switch to an equally winning seriousness as easily as she can substitute studying for dancing proves what a competent damsel Ruthie ’ is. Patient and broad¬ minded, she shows promise of achievement when she joins other instructors-to-be at Teachers’ Col¬ lege. Girls’ League; Girls’ Sports; Color Committee. ROBERT DOOCEY Although quiet by nature, Bob” has given Weaver his whole¬ hearted support on both track and cross-country teams. His long legs and rangy frame have fitted him perfectly for such sports. A familiar figure around this school both during and after school hours, Bob” became well-liked by all who knew him. Cross Country; Track. ELEANOR DORMAN Eleanor can boast (which she doesn ' t do) of achieving a really creditable record at school, even if she did receive that one de¬ merit, much to her consternation and dismay. Well-known by only a few, nevertheless those who knew Eleanor genuinely liked her, and never an enemy did she make. Ingleside Club; Girls’ League. JOSEPH DUFFY Hi, Joe”! There goes Duffy Vith the flaming patch of red hair, waves n everything, big hearty smile, athletic looking physique. He is known, too, for his happy, devil-may-care attitude; he breezes along, taking everything, including worshipful femmes” in his stride. Joe” is the exception to the rule that redheads are hot-tempered, for his good-naturedness appeals to everyone. Football Squad. STUART DUNCAN We suspect that Dunk,” that roguish little fellow of our dreams, will turn into a second Fred Astaire, for his nimble feet never seem to pause. His infectious grin and that characteristic lock of hair in the middle of his forehead, to¬ gether with those naughty class¬ room pranks, provided a welcome diversion to the more light-hearted students. Lookout Editorial Board. LONDON DUVAL Gentleman, athlete! Buddy’s” character in two words! Quiet, friendly, intelligent, and sports¬ manlike, he will go far in his col¬ lege career, probably at Virginia Union LIniversity. An asset to the school in many ways, he will be sorely missed by his many sincere friends. Basketball; Baseball. KENNETH DRAGER Ken’s silence has been the subject of many a feminine tongue. Because of this trait Kenneth was a favorite with the faculty! One look at Ken’s” activities below’ will show you, however, that he believes actions speak louder than 1 words. ♦ Chemistry Club; German Club, T reasurer; Lookout Editorial Board. SAMUEL EDELSTEIN Sports! Sports! Sports! If Wea¬ ver ever had a sport fan, “Sonny” is it! Through rain and storm he traveled far to watch our teams play. His schoolwork would be par excellence if he paid as much attention to getting good marks as he did to athletics! Rotund and jovial, Sonny” held a place all his own among his classmates. German Club. REBECCA EDLIN Ah me! What life could be were it not for school! — must be Bibby thinking out loud again. In spite of her marked dislike for school, Rebecca managed to rate fairly high scholastically. Always ready for a good time and pos¬ sessing a perfect disposition, “Bibby” proved a valuable asset to any gathering. Dramatic Club; Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ League; Girls ' Sports. THOMAS EDMONDS As broad as he is long! “Tommy” puts a spark into any group where he is present. His cheerful manner and not-too-serious disposition will always be recalled — pleasantly. Above all “Tommy’’ managed to slip in the last “joke,” and believe it or not they usually fell on some unsuspecting girl! MARY EGAN Silence opens the door to ro¬ mance! At least, so may it be judged by the beautiful ring of her “one and only’ worn by our classmate, “Mary.” Her extreme quietness and meekness had us fooled. Let’s hope that quietness proves an asset for many of the rest of our class! We wish her much happiness! Girls’ League; Choir. ROBERT ELRICK A not-too-serious lad and a con¬ firmed woman hater, (as far as we know)! Track is “Bob’s favorite sport which takes up most of his time. He may often be seen tear¬ ing off miles in our beautiful play¬ ground (Keney Park). “Bob al¬ ways greets his many friends with a broad and cheerful smile. Chemistry Club; Cross Country; Track. DOROTHY ERTMAN “Dutchie claims the best things in life come in small packages! The secret of her success lies in knowing what she wants and then going after it. This idea holds true in her case because her “pep” has left a fine record in the files of Weaver. Outside of school she could be seen at all sport activ¬ ities. Honor Society; Ingleside Club; j Girls ' League. ABRAHAM FARBER A literary genius in the mak¬ ing! Abe’’ hopes to have a best seller on the market soon. Litera¬ ture, particularly poetry and short stories, provides him with pleas¬ ure. A quiet, unassu ming student, he has gone about his business with little fanfare. An intimate pic¬ ture, however, shows him to be friendly, courteous, and capable. HAROLD ELOVICH One of the better sports critics, “Pug centered his interest on baseball. He could talk a blue streak about the merits of various players and teams, and he usually chose the winners with uncanny skill. His cheerful manner and hot temper helped make the vari¬ ous games more interesting to the spectators! Lookout Business Board; Chem¬ istry Club; Motto Committee. CLARENCE FARGO A casual observer would say “Gutch” was a quiet boy, but upon second observation he might say “Gutch” is asleep. Such are his ways while listening to a talk on the ways and means of govern¬ ment, or why the earth revolves about the sun. Outside of school we find him quite active in golf and footb all. 1 BARBARA FARRELL Sweet is the word for ' Bobbie ' Farrell. Her scholastic achieve¬ ments are undeniable, and her for¬ titude in attacking our Latin mas¬ ters amazing. She further en¬ hances her angelic nature by those enviable attributes never late, no demerits. She represents a teacher’s dream done up in a smile and a song. Choir; Honor Society; Latin Club; French Club. FRANK FASI Pep, vim, and vigor personified! Ginger furnished a constant source of dynamic energy to his fellow teammates on the gridiron and the basketball floor with his aggressive fortitude and inten; manner. Noted for his pleasan: mien and good sportsmanship, he well deserves the term a regular fellow. Basketball; Football; Track; Testator. JOSEPH FAUST We did not see much of Joe” about Weaver. Outside activities took up most of his spare time. Joe ' s serious, or should we say intellectual, countenance often puts one over on those who meet him for the first time. He can, how¬ ever, easily change that grave ex¬ pression into a fairly good replica of any toothpaste smile.” HAROLD FEIGENBAUM Hail, hail the gang’s all here, but not without “Fleshy” who ar¬ rives shortly safe and sound, after careening madly about town in his distinctive and beloved car. An arduous student, he finds an out¬ let for his pent-up wim and wigor” in photography and con¬ sequently-— don ' t look now but “Fleshy” just sneaked a candid shot.” Camera Club; Manager of Swimming Team; German Club, President. EDWARD FEIGHN Eddy ' s fluency in relating hu¬ morous illustrated anecdotes and his eccentric pranks, preceded by a sudden gust of sobriety and then a loud peal of hilarious laughter, were a constant source of amuse¬ ment and amazement to his ever- attentive audience. A good mixer, Ed” was always welcome wher¬ ever he travelled — and he went some! EVELYN FELDMAN If you hear something in the lunchroom or corridors that sounds like an explosion, have no fear for it ' s only Evy’s” he-man laugh. Also beware of her dashing back¬ hand stroke admirably displayed in Keney Park every summer. Al¬ though she has not participated in many school activities, her charm, wit, and intelligence have captured the hearts of her masculine friends. Girls ' League; Honor Society. EVA FEGELMAN Eva, a model student, deserves a place in Weaver’s annals be¬ cause she is one of the few who never signed her John Hancock” to a demerit slip! Neither does she need to pile up” the absence excuses, for she has never spent a school day away from these hallowed premises. In addition to these qualities, she likes to read and roller-skate, of course when not in school. Girls’ League. JOHN FELLETTER A true sportsman, Johnny” spends a great deal of his time playing football, baseball, and othe ' r sports. His studies some¬ times suffer, no doubt. A welcome person because of his friendliness and humor, he takes life smoothly and always seems in good spirits. His future should be bright, for he possesses many valuable abilities. PHILIP FELTMAN Phil” has romped through his years at Weaver with that devil- may-care attitude. We do not re¬ call ever having seen him looking glum and down-hearted. “Phil is planning a career as a pharmacist, and has at last mastered the in¬ tricate con bination of letters to spell the word. Lookout Editorial Board; Chem¬ istry Club. MURIEL FENNER Muriel did very little intermin¬ gling among the students (?) dur¬ ing her stay with us. This may be accounted for by the fact that she had outside interests to occupy her leisure moments. Those peo¬ ple who ere lucky enough to know her well appreciated her genuine spirit of kindness. Cupid tells us that Muriel prefers the fragrant essence of orange blos¬ soms. We wonder. Girls’ League. GERALD FERRANTINO Gerry bubbles over with that youthful exuberance which so many of us unfortunately lack. Any possessor of the blues need only look up G. Ferrantino to be assured of a complete recovery. J ‘Gerry” has attempted the con¬ quest of numerous feminine hearts, but disillusionment has struck too often! MORTON FICHMAb One ' s education is decidedly in¬ complete if it iacks the acquaint¬ ance of the renowned M. Fichman. Morty” gamboled about fair Weaver with a happy, rollicking attitude which is so characteristic of him. He often took great pride in his knack of arriving simul¬ taneously with the ringing of the three minute bell. Basketball; Choir; Glee Club. JANE FIERBERG Husky voiced “Janie” can warble popular melodies as they should be warbled. Her attributes are an enviable good taste in dressing, a pretty face and figure, an appealing friendly smile, and the ability to “shake a leg” (dance to you). Other qualities we won’t attempt to classify are an ambi¬ tion to be a dietitian, a low pitched laugh that makes her wrinkle her nose, and an appendix operation. Add them up, and you have just Jane. Girls’ Business Club; Choir; Glee Club; Girls’ League. ROSYLN FINE Calm and composed, “Ros” is known as one of the nicest dressers of the ' 38 class. This young, sophisticated lady converses in a charming, quiet monotone and would be an excellent model for the manners prescribed by Emily Post. Her name speaks for her; fine and like a cool, upright rose. Girls ' Business Club; Girls’ League; C. H. L. S. SIDNEY FINKELSTEIN We present the one and only Fink” — Weaver’s brain child. Observe and hear his calculations and speculations in the chemistry world. See and listen to his flip quips and diverting actions. A ! dual personality — one minute a lackadaisical aimless fellow in quiet reverie, then suddenly a dynamic, energetic person brim¬ ming over with ideas. Ah me, what a man! SYLVIA FINKELSTEIN Sylvia, another of these ac¬ complished ladies in our class, plays the piano and very well too, if we do say so, and can always be counted on to entertain with her instrumental harmonies. She aims to be” an office worker, but we guarantee that with her talent she won ' t remain in that profession long. Girls’ League. MARGARET FLANAGAN Marge” — ? Why, this problem shouldn ' t prove so difficult, for we have a lot of given things to work on. Vivacity, coquetry, mischie¬ vousness, good-humor, all figure in such a person’s character. Keen interest in basketball, the knack of having a good time everywhere, and a distinct personality furnish us with the necessary statements. Now, by equals added to equals, we arrive at this conclusion of Marge” — a girl whose likeabil- ity” is agreed upon by all. Girls’ League. REGINALD FLAY Reggie’s” quiescent manner makes him stand out more than if he were of a louder caliber. Why, when Reggie” roars at his loudest, it is still possible to hear a pin drop. Always experiment¬ ing with some gadget, Reg” hopes to acquire the skill that will make him an expert machinist. THOMAS FORD Tommy,” our own indisputable Home Run King,” a reserved but resourceful chap, was universally liked as he wended his way un¬ concernedly through school. Al¬ though he was indifferent to his tall, dark, good looks, here many an unfortunate girl met her Water¬ loo! Weaver will indeed miss his affable personality when he bids a final adieu to the Green and White. Baseball Team; Football Squad; Ring and Pin Committee; Tie Committee. MAE FOSTER Mae possesses a radiant smile and a surprising pair of twinkling blue eyes. Although full of fun and blessed with loads of energy, Mae has the admirable quality of doing the right thing at the right time. In this blonde miss, we have a future Sarah Bernhardt, for her talents run to acting and singing. Choir; Girls ' League; Glee Club. RUTH FLEICHMAN A murmur, a very familiar mur¬ mur, sudden peals of laughter, gasps, stifled snickers, yes, you’ve guessed right; it’s Rufus relating the newest anecdote with gestures et al., so gather round folks and listen. Noted for her affability and irresistible wit, Rufus” laughed her way out of many a fix; but Stop! she has a serious side and always conscientiously studies her bookkeeping and plans to enter business school later. Girls’ League. MARY FLYNN Mamie’s” talents seem to run to English, but all kidding aside, she’s no studious grind. Her out¬ side interests among which dan¬ cing and sports predominate (and she can hold her own in any ath¬ letic competition) absorb most of her time. With a quiet, yet not meek manner, she wins all who meet her to friendship. Girls’ Business Club; C. H. L. S.; Girls’ League; Lookout Editorial Board. BERNARD FRANCIS Red,” Weaver ' s own Larry Kelly, flaunts a shock of hair which served as a guiding light for all young sophs who have aspira¬ tions of football fame; for his spec¬ tacular feats on the gridiron pulled the team out of hot water” in¬ numerable times. That man-about- town air of his proved intriguing and this red-headed Lothario squired quite a few femmes around during his sojourn here. Baseball; Basketball; Football; Matinee Dance Committee; Chair¬ man of Reception Committee. GEORGE FRANCIS George seems more mature and thoughtful than most of his class¬ mates. He was rarely seen in school after dismissal because of his outside work. He practices archery in his spare time, and makes his own equipment. His ambition is to become a govern¬ ment ranger. BERNARD FREELANDER “Bernie’s initiative and argu¬ mentative powers made him a f leader in class programs and dis¬ cussions. His power of speech led him into difficulties, for if he weren’t reciting, he would be [ tempted to talk to his classmates, many times leaving the teacher a poor second in the struggle for control of the floor. Of course, that would never do. Who’s teaching this class, anyhow?” Lookout Editorial Board; Track Team. PEARL FRIEDMAN A popular member of the “bru nette coterie,” Pearl presents a conglomeration of rare congeniality and sparkling wit plus the admir¬ able quality of being a diligent and conscientious student. Con stantly surrounded by a bevy of friends, Pearl was a welcome addi¬ tion anywhere, anytime, and any place. Honor Society; Choir; Girls ' Business Club, President; Glee Club; Girls’ League; Portal Board, Typist. RUTH FULLER Ruth possesses a certain “savoir faire very becoming to her. She has the charming combination of attractive features and a manne¬ quin’s contour. Her captivating smile and fascinating personality produce a sense of warmth in any chance acquaintance. Her nu¬ merous activities run along musical and social lines. Adept at modern dancing, she exhibits enviable grace on the dance floor. Girls’ Business Club; Choir; Girls’ League; Junior Prom Com¬ mittee; Historian. LULUBELLE GAEHNER That her hair is woman’s crown¬ ing glory is true with Lulubelle, for her shiny black hair caused many a girl to look at her own with despair. Lulubelle, however, concentrated on trying to be pleas¬ ant to everyone. During her last year she occupied the front seat of a certain sports roadster a great deal of the time! Girls’ League; German Club; Girls’ Sports; Reception Committee. MARY GALLICCHIO A methodical person in spite of this “hustle bustle” called modern life, Mary goes along, bothering no one and helping everyone. Her cheery smile is a definite asset which will never lose its value by use. With her tall, stately figure, crowned with dark locks, she often aroused envy among the girls of the class. Girls ' League; Ingleside Club, Secretary. IVY GALLOWAY Ivy has a winsome manner all her own. Neither her ability in athletics, her art work, or her sweet smile (though unequalled) can fully account for her popu¬ larity. She possesses to the “nth” degree that elusive something in personality that makes friends wherever she goes and enables her to get along with everyone. Girls’ Leaders’ Corps; Girls’ League. HARRY GAMPEL From George Gershwin rhap¬ sodies to Beethoven symphonies maestro Harry knows them all. His participation in the numerous mu¬ sical organizations attests his knowledge along this line. Topped with blond, extremely curly hair (which any girl might envy) and possessing an amiable and cheer¬ ing grin, Harry has become a popular figure during his stay at Weaver. Inter-High Orchestra. SYLVIA GEETER Sylvia’s congeniality and sin¬ cerity have endeared her to many people. Her delightful person¬ ality seems to have overwhelm¬ ingly enchanted the masculine sex. Although Sylvia did work after school, her diligence and scholarly attitude have sufficed to make her an honor student. Whatever she has in mind for the future will undoubtedly be realized. Choir; Girls’ League; Inde Club. SAMUEL GELLIN ' Sam spent his four years of school wading through most of the hardest subjects but fortunately suffered no great intellectual ef¬ fects. His greatest interest lay in sports, and he proved his ability in this field by successfully man¬ aging the track team. A more re¬ cent interest is the old game” that involves but two players! Choir; Glee Club; Track Team Manager. SIDNEY GIBER That little man expounding his theory of (?) is named S. D. Giber — D. = Dunn. Syd,” one of the Lookout’s roving reporters, romped hither, thither and yon for his scoops making a great name for himself at the same time. Junior year hit Syd rather hard.

LILLIAN GINSBURG A bundle of pep, vim, and vigor, Lil, petite Lil,” energetically busied herself with clubs, sports, music, and any other activity which caught her fancy, mean¬ while never neglecting her studies, and emerged from the crowd with a diploma, a host of staunch friends, and a proud ' sense of hav¬ ing a c c o m p 1 i s h e d something. You ' ve surely got something there, Lil”! Choir; C. H. L. S.; French Club; Girls League; Glee Club; Honor Society. MELVIN GIPSTEIN Minnie, one of our better known classmates, engaged in quite a bit of cutting-up” in his early days at Weaver, but he soon grew out of it. Tennis is Minnie’s” mainstay, and many of his former opponents consider the lad a bit of a master at the game. Glee Club; Choir; Tennis Team; Tie Committee, Chairman. NORMAN GLASBAND A great void will be left in our scholastic life when Noddie” leaves these halls of learning. But, although he will be sorely missed by those left behind, they will feel that it s safer to relax than for¬ merly, when one never yawned without first looking cautiously around. He wants to be a cinema photographer. Choir; Glee Club; Camera Club; Swimming Team; Track Squad. NORMA GLASSMAN What an asset Weaver gained and Bulkeley lost when Norma en¬ tered the portals of our benign institution. Besides possessing the knack of making all her friends en¬ tirely at ease, Norma’s eagerness and nicety of detail in work will carry her far. We shall remem¬ ber with pleasure her excellent character parts in several dramatic club plays. C. H. L. S.; Dramatic Club, President; Girls ' League. SYLVIA S. GLASSMAN Weaver may well be proud of its paragon of virtue in the person of Sylvia. Newly arrived in our midst, Sooky has displayed a marvelous technique for eluding demerits, and for managing to be on time. Her flair for dramatics leads us to believe that she will go far in this field, and we wish her the best of luck. Girls’ League. SYLVIA M. GLASSMAN “Syl” is a jolly girl with a cheery and endearing manner which transmits her pleasant atti¬ tude of contentment. Being a per¬ son of few words, she is well liked for her tendency towards listen¬ ing instead of talking. “Syl” gets our vote for being a swell gal.” Girls League; Girls Business Club. BEATRICE GLAZER How Beadie” manages to find time for any outside activities when she spends so much time on music amazes and mystifies us. But we find her name on the honor roll and see her at all entertain¬ ments and football games. Her quiet manner conceals a varied personality which many of her classmates have discovered and en¬ joyed. C. H. L. S.; Girls’ League; Honor Society. BARNEY GLIDER Shrimp” surely wears a smile and a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. He always took an active part in any trick or practical joke, yet proved a good sport when the tables got turned! Shrimp” has a love for rough camping and keeps his agile body fit by long camping trips — Little man, what now? DAVID GOLDENBLOOME The curator of a pet moustache, Josh” has calmly navigated over his high school course. His sunny, co-operative disposition and neat appearance never failed to glad¬ den the hearts of his many friends. Besides being the proud possessor of a fine stamp collection, he also enjoys chess and the distinction of having never been tardy. Chemistry Club; Chess Club; German Club. SYLVIA GOLDRING Upon observation, it is easily noted that Sylvia’s craze for dan¬ cing reaches its peak in her fascina¬ tion for the art of truckin’.” Ice skating claims her attention too, but her life is not all play and no work, for Chic” has serious in¬ tentions of continuing her educa¬ tion at Connecticut State College. Girls’ Business Club; Girls ' League; Lookout Editorial Board. EBNER GLOOSKIN If Eb’s” dream of an ideal life came true, all his work would be completed while he spent his days under the influence of Mr. Sand¬ man. When not in reverie, Eb- ner’s casual satire and nonchalant sagacity afford a glimpse of the person he is. Frank and liberal, he speaks his mind and may be relied upon to voice an honest opinion. Glee Club; Choir. HERBERT GOLDBERG Herb’s sax is as well known as its owner. In fact it has come to a point where the lad must con¬ tend with, Hey sax, where y’a going with ‘Herb’?” The boy sure toots a mean one! Herb’s” friends know him to be a bit of a devil- may-care at times, but always a Swell guy.” Lookout Business Board; Or¬ chestra; Band. RAE GOLDSTEIN Short, light, and full of fun! Who else could it be, but Rae? A keen sense of humor and a dash of individual style place her on a pedestal that few girls can reach. Rae has become a definite part of everything going, and we owe much to her ability of organiza¬ tion. Three cheers for a swell girl! Girls’ League; Girls ' Business Club; C. H. L. S., Vice-President and Treasurer; Girls’ Sports. DORIS GOODMAN Do” always attended to her own affairs and in her own quiet way attained the heights of a dili¬ gent, conscientious student. Her chic and varied wardrobe was an object of envy for many Weaver femmes.” Besides her school activities, Doris usually found time to pursue her many hobbies — horseback riding in particular. French Club; Girls’ League. SAUL GOODMAN When Saul isn’t grinning, he is usually singing. His sense of humor and friendly good-will make him well liked by his associates, and his remarkably good voice gives him ample justification for singing. We like him well enough to forgive his ancient jokes and even his practical jokes. He turns his more serious attention to chess, and chesses’’ almost as well as he sings. A Cappella Choir; Chess Club; Choir; Glee Club. ISADORE GORALNICK Doubtless most of “Izzy’s” fel¬ low students will remember him as the shining light who brightened up the atmosphere of many a bor¬ ing class. His nonchalant and easy manner probabl y aroused the envy of a goodly number of the young sophomores, and his way with the teachers most likely stirred the envy of many a senior. Camera Club; Choir; Inde Club. EVA GORBAN Everyone knows Eva as her en- gaging smile and pleasing manner have made her popular with both students and teachers. Though by no means a grind, Eva managed to complete her course in two and one half years. Possessing business ability and artistically inclined, Eva ought to do well for herself. Girls’ League; Choir. BEATRICE GORDON This young lady has plans for her future that set her apart from most of our dear, departing senior girls. She wants to be an orches¬ tra leader and has trained for a career by playing the piano, lis¬ tening to the kings of swing via the air waves, and dancing to their rhythms. Her friendliness and good cheer at all times made her a fa¬ vorite. Choir; Girls’ League. ETHEL GORFIN Ethel rates in the upper half of our class, both scholastically and physically. Her attractive height is accented by a graceful carriage and well-chosen clothes. Gorf” has taken an active interest in school affairs, at the same time holding her place on the Honor Roll. Bon fortune,’’ Ethel; your conscientiousness points towards success! Choir; Dramatic Club; Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ League; Glee Club, Secretary; Girls’ Sports. HAROLD GRABOWSKY If ever you should be on the Keney Park golf course and see a drive a la Bobby Jones, you can be sure that Grab is behind it. Starring in the classroom as well as on the golf course, his rapidity in Latin translations aroused much envy and his W. C. Fields wit proved a source of keen delight to all. Chemistry Club; Choir; Glee Club; Golf Team; Junior Usher. ANNETTE GREENBERG Annette has long cherished the desire to be a teacher — of all things! Genuine pity for those poor students, who are treated un¬ graciously, (and of course un¬ justly?) must have inspired her to try a hand at throwing a few books around.” We beg the par¬ don of teachers and contribute best wishes to a courageous young lady. Girls’ League. CHARLOTTE GREENBERG Charlotte typifies the models of the toothpaste, chewing gum, and bathing suit ads all rolled into one delicious bunch of sweetness. Her regular attendance at ball games spurred the teams on to further success, and her convincing smile brought to school affairs many here¬ tofore reluctant supporters. The college which claims Chari” will add a sure asset to its balance sheet! C. H. L. S., Secretary; Girls’ League; Girls’ Sports. LILLIAN GREENBERG When all of you dear, dear readers leave these holy halls and begin to worry about wall-paper¬ ing your own halls, call in L. J. Greenberg who intends to interior decorate and you will have some¬ thing there. Her inclinations even now are to the arts, and she in¬ dulges in the less esthetic practices of athletics to temper her person¬ ality. She believes in punctuality and practices what she preaches because she has never been tardy. Girls ' League. SELMA GREENBERG Behind a sophisticated appear¬ ance “Sel” conceals her true char¬ acteristics. She has displayed a considerable amount of efficiency in outside activities and has a re¬ markable talent in dressmaking. Despite her constant giggling in school, she has proved herself a reserved student and one who pos¬ sesses the qualities desirable in a private secretary. Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ League; Lookout Board. MAURICE GREENWALD One of Weaver’s quieter stu¬ dents, “Greenie’s” big silent man’’ attitude became him quite well. Apparently of a conscientious na¬ ture, he readily answered his in¬ structors queries. Pleasant to con¬ verse with and courteous in man¬ ner, he leaves a very favorable impression behind and not a few friends. French Club; Latin Club; Look¬ out Business Board; Junior Usher; Choir; Chemistry Club. ROBERT GROSS Here’s a master at the art of playing the sax.” Grossie” puts over a mean interpretation of hot music. He’s popular with the boys and oh, so popular with the femmes.” Perhaps we have a future Guy Lombardo in our midst! Who knows, friends, who knows! Cross Country Team; Dramatic Club, Vice-President and Treas¬ urer; Orchestra. SIDNEY GROSS Sid ' s most distinguishing char¬ acteristic, his booming voice, has made him quite prominent in both Choir and Glee Club. A genial fellow and a warm friend, Sid” has cut a niche for himself in the portals of Weaver. From present plans he will join the Weaver dele¬ gation at Pratt Institute next year. Camera Club; Choir; Glee Club. BERNARD GUTCHOEN Why is it when the band plays hot music, ’Bernie ' may be seen in some corner? Perhaps he would rather be leading than dancing, for Bernie is preparing for a mu¬ sical career. A quiet lad, he often made us wonder what went on inside that head of his. Perhaps he was hearing” music while the rest of us did the song and dance of noisy activity! Choir; German Club; Inter-High Orchestra; Orchestra. JUANITA HAILMAN More fortunate than others of her classmates, Juanita possesses a delightful voice that just did things to her listeners. Though it was often difficult at times to catch all she was saying because of a tantalizing twist in her speech, Nita” made a very interesting companion. She made many friends while here at Weaver who wish her lots of luck in her plans for furthering her education. Glee Club. DOROTHY HALL Petite, likeable, Dot” is well known at Weaver as she has con¬ stantly displayed her ability as swing mistress at Girls’ League af¬ fairs. Her dancing ability and ex¬ tremely small stature verify the ex¬ isting rumor of future work in the theatrical world, and her pep and vitality will surely make her a success. Girls’ League. LIBBY HANDLER Someone has said, What is so rare as a day in June. We ll an¬ swer that interrogation with a girl like Lib’, for a character in¬ corporating good taste, a twin kling eye, and capaciy for having lots of fun is truly something to rave about. Old Man Gloom has never found an abode on Lib’s” face, for her constant smile quickly discourages him. Art-Crafts Club; Girls’ League; Ir.de Club; Choir; Girls’ Business Club. ALTHEA HARGER Althea, as faithful as ever, may still be seen waiting about the Garden Street section for Doug to come home. At school Althea takes an active part in dramatics and sports. She puts a spark into any group, and her childish laugh rang through Wea¬ ver. Another no demerits girl! Dramatic Club. HENRY HAYES The singing caddy he was knowed as in them days.” What a temper he possessed for such a little fellow! It cost him many demerits, but often gave his class¬ mates a few good laughs. Henny seems to have had a permanent lease on the library. He might have been found at any time bor¬ rowing someone’s Chem. home¬ work. At any rate, “Henny was a fine sport and made numerous friends at Weaver. Choir; Glee Club; Track Team. MATILDA HERSHFELD Matts hobby — reading — may partly account for her ability to answer so many questions in English. An omnivorous reader, she may frequently be seen brows¬ ing in the library or going hence with huge stacks of books. Matt” looks forward to either a medical career or work with the juvenile court where we feel sure she will succeed. Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ League; Honor Society. BERTRAM HIGGINS Because of his interesting per¬ sonality and unfailing courtesy, Bert” has become very well liked by both students and the faculty. His friendliness will be missed very much. He is especially in¬ terested in science and expects to attend Trinity College to become a teacher in this subject. MARJORIE HILLS Margie is a very important link in our chain of friendships, and we would be lost without her. A genial smile and a few cheery words paid Margie’s” fare on the journey to our hearts. May she always possess that gay manner and come smiling through. Girls’ League. MORRIS HEFFLER “Heff’s” greatest accomplish¬ ment consisted of arising at the un¬ godly hour of 4:00 A. M. to polish off a bit of homework. What a man! No doubt French bothered the lad’s conscience, for included among his pet (?) interests we find the study of French grammaire. Oh well, early to bed and early to rise. . . . Choir; Glee Club. EDWARD HOAR Ed was quite different from most boys. He never did much talking, especially about himself. Since most of his interests were outside of school, he was not so well known as some of his class¬ mates. Tis said “Hocker,” as he is better known to his friends, has a leaning towards the navy. Want to see the world, Ed”? Never mind! You won ' t run into any telephone poles out at sea, Hocker. Remember? CIPY HOFFENBERG That Cipy had an attractive way of orating can be verified by the attention she commanded in her classes whenever she had the desire (or otherwise) to talk. With a tilt of her head and a movement of those very, very red lips (now that couldn t be the rea¬ son for the attention) and all eyes were directed toward Cipy. It wasn’t what she said, but the way she said it! Girls ' L eague; C. H. L. S.; Honor Society. SAUL HOFFMAN A man of affairs, Hoffy” has successfully dabbled in most of Weaver’s activities. His likeable and genial personality, together with his whole hearted co-opera¬ tion, has made him a familiar and popular figure. Showing a pref¬ erence for chemistry and delving into the realms of science we mark him as one of our enterprising, future scientists. Portal Board, Business Man¬ ager; Choir; Glee Club; Lookout Editorial Board. AGNES HOGAN Aggie’’ personified the very essence of nonchalance as she ambled through Weaver’s cor¬ ridors or proved her ability as a tennis player on Keney ' s courts. Her very keen sense of humor and infectious laugh brought her many friends. Aggie’s” Hiya will long echo through our memories. Chemistry Club; Ingleside Club; Girls’ Leaders’ Corps. ABRAHAM HOMAR Abe’s” versatility can be un¬ derstood by a glance at the long list of extra curricular activities in which he spent his spare moments He possesses a fine voice and has undeniable ability in athletic con¬ tests. Maybe you are surprised, but his modesty keeps him from disclosing his numerous accomplish¬ ments. Also, he has a sweet, sweet smile that endears him to many Weaver students. Baseball Team; Boys’ Commer¬ cial Club; Football Squad; Portal Board; Choir; Glee Club. EDWIN HORN This golden haired Apollo, dubbed ‘ Corky,’ set many a fair damsel ' s heart to thumping, when he crashed through the line of the opposing team — in our great sport — football! Well liked for his friendliness, and habit of say¬ ing very little, (thereby keeping his friends) “Corky” receives our vote for being a swell fellow. Keep smiling, Kid! Football Squad: Track Team. RUTH HORN A rollicking, roguish, refreshing, reliable Ruth. Yes, it’s all true, every word. Full of fun, enthu¬ siastic, friendly and always de¬ pendable in time of need! It’s a rare combination indeed! Although a fun-loving girl, she still studied hard and now is prepared to face the world with an excellent busi¬ ness training to carry her along — far, we expect. Girls’ Business Club; Girls ' League. MARIE HOUSE Steady poise and efficiency com¬ bine to make Marie a sure-fire suc¬ cess in business. We have never found her ill-tempered or not ready to plunge into any sugges¬ tion for a good time. Add to these qualities a keen sense of humor and conversational ability, then you will reach the inevitable con¬ clusion — a very enticing person¬ ality. Girls’ League; Girls’ Sports. IRVING HUBBARD This fair-haired lad could beat time itself when he got hold of a drum and a couple of sticks. Don’t let Bud’s” modest demeanor frighten you away, for he could successfully play Drums in My Heart” using only his happy-go- lucky personality and clean-cut ap¬ pearance as his instruments! Band. HELEN HULUC Penny” is another Weaverite who has never felt the sting of a demerit, and we wonder how she does it. Having a number of hob¬ bies, her favorites are swimming and reading, “Penny” has great hopes for a business future, and all her friends know she has the abil¬ ity to succeed. Girls’ League. FRANCES HUROWITZ Franny ' s” perseverance and eagerness to succeed have enabled her to complete high school in three and one-half years. Besides her scholastic activities, she diverts a great deal of her time to music. Her plans for the future are not definite, but she will doubtlessly come through with flying colors. Choir; Girls ' Business Club; Girls’ League; Glee Club; Ingle- side Club; Honor Society. SAUL HYMAN Shike” has earned the title Best Spring-Fever-getter” in the class, for when February and March came rolling around we soon detected that far-away look in his guileless eyes. Despite this slight failing, Shike” always at¬ tracted attention because of the flashy orange and yellow jacket he wore. MILTON JACOBSON A likeable and interesting per¬ son! Jake ' s” animated discussions and arguments in the plane geom¬ etry class have been a source of mirth to both instructor and class¬ mates. His interests apparently lie in various channels, for he ex¬ cels as a chess player, possesses some ability as a singer, and has a shrewd business-like mind. More power to Jake” in his college ca¬ reer and then in his life work! A Cappella Choir; Chess Club; Choir; Glee Club. YVONNE JEAN Eve” came to us from Rhode Island to finish her senior year of school. Are we sorry? We are not! This buoyant young lady contributed her effervescent spirit, bubbling over with ecstasy, to the students of our “deah” Alma Mater. And Eve” has such daz¬ zling blue eyes too! Girls’ League; French Club. HOWARD JENSEN The Silent Man” of Weaver is Howy.” Stalking with dignity- through the corridors, he leaves the impression of calmness on a sea of stormy faces. His aspira¬ tions lean toward the agricultural Perhaps a future secretary of agri¬ culture has been among us! After all, we need good men in Agri¬ culture. We all have to eat! Boys’ Commercial Club. BENJAMIN JACOBS Athletics possessed no charm for Jimmy” who would rather wat ch from the side lines. We have a lurking suspicion that he joined the Hawks” club to get the bright red and yellow jacket which em¬ phasizes his dark complexion. Jimmy” has hitched his wagon to a star specially made for Coast Guards, and we know he’ll make his goal. LOUISE JONES Versatile Louise found activities a-plenty to occupy her days in Weaver. When she wasn’t lend¬ ing her melodious voice to the choir, Babe was busy twirling a basketball or volley ball. This ambitious miss sees social work or nursing as her future career and, oh yes, she loves to dance! Choir; Girls’ League. DOROTHY KAPLAN JACK JOSEPH Indeed, all work and no play will not make this Jack a dull boy, for although an industrious worker, he nevertheless finds suf¬ ficient time to indulge in his fa¬ vorite pastimes, hunting, photog¬ raphy, and stamp-collecting. A mathematics student of the high¬ est standing, Jack will stand high in any undertaking. Camera Club. ROBERT KAITZ “Katz’ is what is generally known as a “red mike,” i. e., a woman hater. Talkative “Katz” is quite athletic although he has never taken part in school sports. Every so often a little mischief can be detected in “Katz’s” eyes, and that is the time to watch out. One can never tell what practical joke is coming. Chemistry Club; Latin Club. MARION KAMINS One of the “neatest” dressers in the class, Marion attracted all eyes as she wended her way among us. Beneath a layer of sophistication, both “guys and gals find a swell sport and a ready sense of humor. A popular member of the “social whirl,” she still found time to rate high scholastically, and never lost her desire to follow the study of Journalism at college. C. H. L. S.; French Club; Girls’ League; Lookout Editorial Board; Girls’ Sports. CHARLOTTE KAPLAN Although rather inactive in girls’ sports in her last year, “Kappy made quite a splash in her early high school days. Scarcely an issue of “The Lookout” passed without her name appearing under the “Girls ' Sports ” column. In spite of the fact that she spent most of her time with her own crowd, the members of her class knew “Kappy” for her good humor and interesting personality. Girls’ League; Honor Society. Dot,” such a sunny individual that even the end of a marking period could not cast a cloud over her smiling countenance, aspires to be a private secretary. If her marks over the past few years mean anything, she should make a good one. Girls’ League. SEYMOUR KAPLAN “Kap, one of our swell fel¬ lows, has a definite idea of what he plans to do in the future. Hence, he stands one jump up on most of us. His ability as a commercial artist has already been recognized. Kap” also possesses a quiet good- natured personality which tends to make him much liked by those who know him. FRANCES KARN Friends are transported into gales of laughter as “Frannie” pitches into one of her endless, humorous antedotes. Spirited and talented, she is a magnet for happy occurrences and reinforces her magnetism by an alert ambition to make good in her chosen voca¬ tion of art. Her graceful height does remind one of an artist’s sweeping gesture, doesn’t it? Art-Crafts Club; Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ League. ANN KATZ “Kitty” Katz she deigns to call herself, but she proves the excep¬ tion to the rule that girls are “catty.” She has a gay grin that is always infectious and an en¬ compassing sense of humour — even if she won’t understand the word. She believes in promptness, and has never been late to school. Girls’ League. BARBARA KATZ Barbara has directed her atten¬ tion toward the finer things in life. She appreciates good music and is especially interested in plays. She has participated in many girls ' sports and has impressed everyone with her fairness and culture. Doubtlessly, her conservatism and refinement will aid her in fulfilling her plans for the future — at some college. Chemistry Club; Girls League; Girls’ Sports. LEWIS KATZ How “Lew ' ' can pursue so many activities at once stirred the won¬ der of many! With football claiming part-interest, he still found minutes to devote to his liking for photography — and girls. A de¬ termined debator, he always seems willing to hear an opponent’s views. Having diligently pursued his studies, ' Lew ' ' anticipates en¬ tering Rutgers. Camera Club; German Club, Treasurer; Football; Track Squad; Lookout Business Board; Nominat¬ ing Committee. ROSALIND KATZ Ros,” unusually timid and re¬ served in school, has concealed her true characteristics. She enjoys dancing, sports, and has hopes of becoming a benefactor to human¬ ity — in other words a nurse. Al¬ though her life at Weaver has been uneventful, she has played an active part in many outside clubs and organizations. Her friends feel that the proverb Still waters run deep’’ justly applies to ' Ros.” Girls’ League. RUTH KATZ Ruth, better known to her friends as Toots,” is a good sport, and can always be depended upon to support her friends in whatever they do. She has a grand sense of humor and fairly overflows ■with laughter. Reading and dancing are her favorite interests. Girls’ League. BEATRICE KAUFMAN Don’t look, now, but there are three of these Kaufman girls. Get¬ ting down to business and starting alphabetically, we find Bea” ap¬ pears first on the list. Beatrice, the administrator, has a license, and sporting a car, she flashes about, here and there waving and smiling happily to everyone. She proved always a dependable friend and a staunch supporter of the Weaver teams! Chemistry Club; Ingleside Club; Girls’ League. IDA KAUFMAN And next we have Ida, the heart throbber who went about in¬ nocently capturing the hearts of unsuspecting males. In addition to being a skilled seamstress, as her clothes certainly show, she excels in the culinary art. Here we find her ambitions centered, for she in¬ tends to become a dietitian. Three cheers for Ida! Chemistry Club; Ingleside Club; Girls’ League. MARTHA KAUFMAN And last but not least we give you the remaining third of the Kaufman Trio, Martha, the in¬ dustrious scholar, who has aspira¬ tions of attaining the rank of a school teacher. Her future pupils will certainly enjoy her fine wit and pleasant and cheerful manner. As a side-line, Martha’s interests run to hairdressing, and from her intriguing coiffures we can say that she really excels here. Chemistry Club; Ingleside Club; Girls’ League. EDWARD KAWCZAK Speed’s” speed in acquiring honors here at Weaver testifies to the valuable property which H. P. H. S. lost when it handed him over to us. Having many diversified interests of which chem¬ istry is the principal one, he has proved an outstandin g member of our school life. We are confident that he will succeed in his chosen work, journalism. Chemistry Club; Junior Usher; Latin Club; Honor Society. EDWARD KEARNS “Ed s’’ popularity can be attrib¬ uted to his modest nature, and the fact that he doesn ' t try to outdo himself. His ’’butch’’ is the result of a brawl in which someone heaved a lawnmower at him! “Ed s’’ special interests are radio, camera, and a blonde ’’babe’’ from New Britain. Tie Committee. HELEN KELLY Silence may be golden, but Helen certainly went off the gold standard after school hours, as any of her friends can tell you. Pos¬ sessing the ability to keep her opinions to herself when she should, Helen got along well with her classmates. Her pastime interests lay chiefly in affairs not connected with Weaver. Helen has one un¬ usual distinction — being one of the few girls who still blush! Girls’ League. MARY KELLY “She lived unknown save by a chosen few.’ Quiet and unassum¬ ing, Mary went her way through Weaver ' s corridors. Her excess energy was exerted to the inter¬ ests of “The Lookout. Though her interests were chiefly other than those of the school, she al¬ ways co-operated when we called upon her. Girls’ League; Lookout Editorial Board. HELEN KENNEDY Helen whiles away her spare hours at home applying herself to that ancient and domestic art of sewing. As a result of her efforts, she has become a clever seamstress and an accomplished knitter. In addition, she lays claim to the un¬ usual hobby of coin collecting. Besides all these talents she plays several sports well. Girls’ League; Girls’ Sports. HELEN KENNY Helen believes that silence is golden, for this little lady is one of the quietest girls in the 1938 class. For the future, Helen plans to con¬ tinue in office work, a job we think well suited to her. Her boss will never worry about her being on time, for her record in school has been perfect. Girls’ League. JOHN KERRIGAN We all have our idiosyncracies, but John’s only fault is in being perpetually congenial and friendly to his classmates, if that could be called a fault. ’’Jack’s hobby is as outstanding as his personality —- that of writing and revising literary compositions which en¬ deared him to those less talented in English. MILTON KELMAN Hats off to “Middie”! No de¬ merits in his stay at Weaver! His vocational ambitions lie in ac¬ countancy while his outstanding recreation is reading, particularly thrillers. Stamp collecting and work also take much of his time. “Middies’’ pleasant, earnest per¬ sonality, which will doubtless aid him in the future, will be sorely missed by the many friends he has made here. Junior Usher. ELEANOR KNIGHT “Quiet as a mouse is “Ellie,” for we never hear “boo” out of her except when answering a question in class in her simple, direct style. Indeed her style should make a great deal of difference in the fashion world as well, since this athletic girl plans to be a dress designer. We wish her loads of luck too! Girls’ League; Girls’ Sports. REBECCA KOPELMAN Rees” frequent attendance at the Bushnell Memorial has added considerable knowledge to her in¬ terests in writing and dramatics. Her scholastic ability and initia¬ tive, together with her wit and congenial smile, have made Ree” an excellent student and a well- liked friend. Lately, she has cul¬ tivated a sudden interest in Trin¬ ity. We wonder why? Chemistry Club; C. H. L. S.; Girls’ League; Lookout Editorial Board. ELEANOR KOVITSKY Hats off to El,” whose per¬ petual vitality, as well as her mu¬ sical ability, is envied by all. Be¬ sides being endowed with a splen¬ did voice and excellent touch ai the piano, she can play two or three other instruments equally well. Neither Weaver, nor the A Cappella Choir, will soon forget her radiating personality and good-humor. A Cappella Choir; Accompanist for Choir and Glee Clubs; Glee Club; Girls’ League; Choir. HERBERT KRECHEVSKY Like many of his friends, Herb” spends his happiest hours on the golf links toting his genuine sna ke- skin (?) bag with its veritable forest of clubs (1 driver; 1 putter). Also a caddy of no mean repute, the lad can spot the old “pill” a mile away. Herb” deals firmly, however, with irate putt missers who display self-disgust by fling¬ ing clubs into trees. LYNETTE KUPPERSTEIN That big grin belongs to Lynn, and with it goes a hearty laugh that warms the cockles of your heart. She has that queenly height that awes us mortals,” and she carries herself with a dignity that would be frigid if not for her heretofore-mentioned grin. She is very prompt in all her appoint¬ ments and can brag that she was never late to school. Just keep smilin’, Lynn,” and your aggres¬ siveness will carry you along. C. H. L. S.; Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ League. OLGA KUZENKO Ogie” takes everything in an even stride, including two such diverse subjects as basketball and homework. With her blonde tresses, she reminds us particularly of a Viking maiden seen in an old print. But besides her outward charms, she also displays the effi¬ ciency which is so necessary in her chosen vocation, stenography. Girls’ League. VIVIAN LAJOIE One glance at her varied activ¬ ities will show the versatility of this black-haired miss. Viv” ,had the admirable quality of doing everything she did well. Well known for her beautiful clothes, she also achieved recognition for a vocabulary and a charming poised manner. Besides being an honor student, Viv” shines brightly in the social world as well! French Club; Glee Club; Latin Club; Junior Council; Girls’ League; A Cappella; Choir; Dra¬ matic Club, Secretary; Honor So¬ ciety; Portal Board. PAULINE LANDERMAN During her first three years at Weaver, Pauline attended strictly to business. In her senior year, her attention went off on a tangent —from school activities toward the masculine sex! Although her plans for the future are not def¬ inite, her initiative and scholastic competency will see her through to a flying finish. French Club; Girls ' League; Honor Society. THERESA LANZA Terry” maintains to its fullest extent the adage, “A girl with a smile is the girl worth while.” Her curly dark hair and soft brown eyes also prove her likeability.” Because she accomplishes con¬ sistent and diligent work, she should make the type of secretary most desired in the business world. Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ League; Ingleside Club. SEYMOUR LAPPEN Captain of the notorious bowl¬ ing team, “Lappen’s Lulus, Si also created new versions of vari¬ ous famous dances which he so ably demonstrated for our bene¬ fit. Considerable enjoyment has always been derived from our viewing his clownish antics in the classroom. Perhaps his gesticula¬ tions were acquired from his equally witty associates. We hope the cruel world will not treat him too harshly. Boys ' Commercial Club, Presi¬ dent; Choir; Track; Safety Club; Lookout Editorial Board. SAMUEL LASSMAN A hearty laugh, a happy grin, a bit o’ truckin’, and who comes round the corner but ' Mickey ' ' — Weaver’s Fred Astaire himself! With a mania for dancing that has obtained quite an expert reputa¬ tion for him, he’s a frequent figure on various dance floors. In the serious field, “Mickey’s ' ' sole ambi¬ tion is to become a free-lance artist, and his work in the art de¬ partment shows promise of his fu¬ ture success. Art-Crafts Club; Choir; Glee Club; Track. CORINNE LAVINE Is my face red?’ Here ' s a bet Corinne’s blushing as she reads this. Was your blush a natural blush or Natural Blush? A gait, more along the lines of a skip and bounce rather than a walk, and numerous affectations accompany¬ ing her incessant chatter, marked Corinne as someone different. Here’s wishing you success as an artist, Corinne. Art-Crafts Club; German Club; Choir; Girls’ League. RUTH LAY “Ruthie” is one of our few class¬ mates who can boast a record free of demerits. She has no tardy marks against her either. Ruth claims ice skating as her special interest. No wonder! According to her classmates “Ruthie” cuts a nifty figure on the ice. Gentle and demure as “Ruthie” seemed in class, she could “raise the dickens” when the occasion called for it. Girls’ League. ALBERT LEBOWITZ Blond, ruddy “Al” is an unas¬ suming Weaverite who as a youngster collected the neighbors’ curses by practicing his violin, and who now lends his playing ability to our orchestra. He looks very calm, but his temper is as fiery as his cheeks, when aroused! His laugh, a combination of a choke and a gurgle, can be confused with no other under the sun. Orchestra. LUCILLE LeCLAIR A charming manner and a pleas¬ ing personality made Lucille a worthy individual at Weaver. Her ability to speak French as fluently as she did surprised but delighted her less fortunate classmates. Hav¬ ing been gifted with a lovely voice, Lucille proved a delightful addi¬ tion to any gathering. Choir; French Club; Girls’ League. ROBERT LeHOULLIER Bob” appears definitely headed tor a future in the field of elec¬ tricity. An “expert” on that sub¬ ject in the physics class, he further upholds this observation by indulg¬ ing in amateur radio as a hobby. Track and other sports also oc¬ cupy a great deal of his time. A quiet, intelligent fellow, he plans to enter Pratt Institute. Swimming Squad; Track Squad. EVELYN LERNER “Ev’s twinkling toes were made for dancing. Her whirling figure has become synonymous with Weaver dances where she trips the light fantastic with the best of them. The opposite sex has been smitten often by her gracious charms and captivating person¬ ality. Soft-spoken and cordial, she possesses exquisite manners. Girls’ League. DAVID LEVIN Babe ' was one of the many Weaver students who divided their time between studies and the well- known Hartford golf courses. Tumblebrook, here I come! com¬ prised his war cry. Dave’s” studies did not suffer in the least, however, for he never feared that horrible Thursday after every marking period. Chemistry Club; German Club, Vice-President, Secretary; Honor Society. LEONARD LEVIN If Lenny’s ' aspirations ma¬ terialize, he will be no less than a United States’ President. His good-naturedness and ready smile aid in his being a successful so¬ cialite. Both fellows and femmes” will vouch for his excellent man¬ ners, and many are the times that he has given his pals a lift” home on rainy days! Glee Club, V ice-President; Camera Club; Lookout Editorial Board, Make-up Editor; Choir; Safety Club; Reception Committee. DORIS LEVINE A true companion, a pleasing personality, and curly hair, ali stand for Doris. Her cheerful dis¬ position has radiated through many a dull class and has gained her a host of friends. She works dili¬ gently and efficiently, at things which interest her, and she no doubt will do well at her ambition — child psychology. Girls’ League; Ingleside Club. LEONARD LEVINE Though Lennie” plans to at¬ tend an accounting school, many of his Weaverite friends will won¬ der why he does not continue with his law study — for you see Leon¬ ard has an eloquent gift of ex¬ pression. Test questions to be an¬ swered yes” or no” always ir¬ ritated Lennie,” for he felt that his talent was not given a chance. Boys’ Commercial Club. ANNE LEWCZYK Continued exertion, not hasty efforts, leads to success.” Annie” certainly stuck to whatever she tried until she succeeded. She had a pet idiosyncrasy for getting into her session room at 8; 29every morning. Carrying on correspond¬ ences (especially one in Southing¬ ton) took up Anne ' s spare mo¬ ments. Will you ever forget the day you made that flying tackle in Room 126, Anne? We won’t! Girls’ League. JUSTIN LIGHT How he acquired the nickname of Sam from Justin is beyond us! Neverthless Sam,” a quiet person, takes his school work and outside activities very seriously. He chooses the romantic sport of sailing for a hobby, and really knows his boats from stem to stern. Track; Swimming. JULIUS LISATINSKI Wah-hoo Pappy” — No, this is not the starting of a feud, but just the nickname of Julius Lisat- inski. Pappy” had two special interests in school and they both spelled art. He took an active part in all of Weaver ' s Art Clubs, and his work in class rated with the best. Art-Crafts Club, President; Track; Choir. HARMONY LIVINGSTON Rhythm suggests Harmony, and Harmony suggests Rhythm! Oh me, what a conglomeration of words! Yet that’s exactly what we have in this harmonious” gal. Well versed in the art of dancing, she often stayed up into the wee small hours tripping the light fan¬ tastic. Keenly interested in ath¬ letics, whether a participator or a spectator, Rhythm” deserves our vote for a grand, fun-loving viva¬ cious person. Art-Crafts Club; Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ League; Lookout Edi¬ torial Board, Secretary; Girls’ Sports. DORIS LONG Doris personifies tranquility. So much of composure does she pos¬ sess that we doubt if even a pro¬ posal would shake her equanimity! She is definitely an outdoor girl, and commands respect by her pro¬ ficiency in sports. Her tact and harmonious manner, together with her experience in musical activ¬ ities, have distinguished Doris at Weaver. Chemistry Club; Choir; Girls ' League; Honor Society. INGEBORG LORENZEN “How to Win Friends and In¬ fluence People must have found an entry into Ingy’s” repertory of good reading matter, for she cer¬ tainl y has mastered the art to per¬ fection. While she plays the part of a quiet, unassuming pupil in class, this “Goldilocks does not lack a sense of humor, and that broad, pleasant smile of hers is truly something to behold. Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ League; Choir. MARION LUCKMAN If you see a tall, stately-looking girl walking down the corridor, discussing some subject of im¬ portance in a quiet, but intelligent manner, you have seen Marion. Her neat and orderly sport clothes reflect the exactness and accuracy •of her work. More power to this ambitious student of art, who is •going to attend Pratt Institute. Art-Crafts Club; Girls’ League. MARY LYNCH Mary wends her way through Weaver’s halls, leaving behind her an atmosphere laden with solem¬ nity and dignity. Yet one of our most pleasant experiences occurs when she smiles. Her entire coun¬ tenance is then sheathed with beauty and charm. Mary has done much for us. Our sincere hope is that she may reach whatever goal she desires. Girls’ League; Ingleside Club; Portal Board. JUDITH MACKIN “Judy’s exuberance shone through all her work and play as well, for her disposition always re¬ mained the same. Full of wit and humor, she turned many a dull study period into a rollicking show with her remarks. Besides being an earnest participator in all sports, she also numbered music as an accomplishment. “Judy” plans to attend St. Joseph’s College in prep¬ aration for a journalistic career. Choir; Glee Club, President; Girls’ Leaders’ Corps; Girls’ League; Girls’ Sports. MARVIN MAGALANER A model of persistence, unob¬ trusiveness and true ability, “Mag¬ gie” worked long and hard on “The Lookout staff, and soon established himself as an invalu¬ able aid in getting it to press. His eloquence and proficiency astonished all, even his teachers in French class; but this wasn’t un¬ usual, for “Maggie” stood high in all his studies. French Club; Lookout Editorial Board, Editor; Honor Society; Quill and Scroll Society. MARIE MAINELLI Remember the day she gave that fire prevention speech? Her great- es achievement while in Weaver, she admits. Marie is typical of the student who makes the school. Her scholastic attainments are certainly something to be proud of. How¬ ever, Marie was no bookworm, for she spent considerable time par¬ ticipating in sports of all kinds, a fact which marked her as the tom¬ boy.” French Club; Girls’ League; Girls’ Leaders’ Corps; Testatrix; Salutatorian. EDITH MAISLEN Edith is the girl who always gave a teacher his choice of cor¬ rect answers on her tests! Her giggle and incessant chatter cost her many a demerit but helped to keep her classmates in a jovial mood. Reading claims all Edith’s spare moments (those in which she isn’t finding something to laugh at). Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club, Vice-President. MARION MANDELL Mimi, originally a New York student, seems to have fared well in our school. Her frankness and incessant chatter have enabled her to succeed without participating in many school activities. Her out¬ standing feature — so “Mimi says — is displayed by her ability to create and direct short plays. Let’s hope she attains her ambition. Girls’ League. DORIS MANHEIM Petite, self-possessed “Do has the intelligence that should not be¬ long to one so gifted in good looks! Disconcertingly witty, she is a fair match for any of her admirers and more than a match for that cer¬ tain blond male who is always at her side! The clubs to which she belongs will attest to her acting ability and musical inclinations. A Cappella Choir; Dramatic Club, Secretary; Glee Club; Girls’ League; Choir. MARGARET MANION “Peggy has all the virtues: un¬ sophisticated charm, pleasing mod¬ esty, and a joyous, untroubled countenance. One can always find “Peg occupied in drawing cartoons of (Woe is us) her asso¬ ciates or engrossed in a serious piece of artistry. Art-Crafts Club, Secretary; C. H. L. S., President; Choir; Girls’ League. CLAIRE MANN Claire’s apparent reserve only tends to swell an already full per¬ sonality, for her closer friends know her as an amiable character and a conscientious student. Al¬ ways occupied in completing her homework, Claire represents the type of scholar most desired by universities. We hope you realiz ' e your ambition in going to college, Claire. Chemistry Club; Girls’ League; Portal Business Board. ALFRED MARASCO Fred” will always be remem¬ bered as the fellow who played the drum in Weaver’s famous band. He too led a band of his own outside of school hours. Don’t be too harsh against “Fred,” you classmates of his. He did come to school for a whole week once, and he was on time four or five times. Here ' s wishing you luck, “Fred in your musical career (?). RUTH MARCUS “The skin you love to touch might well have been sloganized when Ruth’s exquisite complexion was viewed. Her appearance of sobriety and thoughtfulness in no way affects her jocular wit. Un¬ usual for a girl, she aspires toward l pharmaceutical work in which she i is sure to make a success. Girls’ League. ROSALIND MARKOWITZ If “Ronnie’s interest in all activities continues in her college l ife, we are sure she’ll be qualified to write a new book on “How to Live on Twenty-four Hours a Day.” “Ronnie can wield a ten¬ nis racquet or kick a soccer ball vigorously, and yet appear as ethereal on the dance floor as if she had never lifted a feather. C. H. L. S.; Chemistry Club; Choir; Girls ' Leaders ' Corps; Girls’ League; Glee Club; Girls’ Sports. ADELINE MARTELL Apparently nothing can disturb the social pattern of “Addy ' s life. Happy-go-lucky, easy to get along with, possessing a spontaneous sense of humor, Adeline has found life at Weaver enjoyable in spite of her struggle in the gym. She may lack devotion to gymnastic routine but never to conversation and dancing. Girls’ League. FELICIA MASCOLO Fleas’ minuteness served only to emphasize her devil-may-care” charm. If you glimpsed a small dark-haired girl with a flashing smile flying madly down the hall or dashing down the wrong stair¬ way, it was Fleas.” In spite of her petiteness, she has high aspira¬ tions of becoming an aviatrix. Girls’ League. JOHN MAZZUCCHI John’s unique crop of curly hair bobs up continually around town. You can’t find another like it, for it’s the one and only. Included in John’s hobbies we find poetry. Who knows but that we have had an unappreciated intellectualist in our midst! With that head he might well be artistic! EDWARD McCOY Ed” had the kind of build that could be picked out in a crowd of several thousand. Although of a quiet nature, Ed’s” good humor made him the pal of his friends. Even though he never starred in athletics, his conscientious work on the football squad helped put Weaver’s team up with the leaders. Football Squad. edward McCullough Mac’s” quiet countenance de¬ ceives one, for behind his mask he’s a character capable of cop¬ ing with any circumstance whether on the dance floor or in the school room. Indeed, his com¬ petent management of the track and basketball squads has illus¬ trated that. We trust that this efficiency will carry you far, Ed.” Boys’ Commercial Club; Portal Business Board; Nominating Com¬ mittee; Choir; Manager of Basket¬ ball and Track Squads; Reception Committee. samuel McCullough Sam,” one of our outstanding athletes, was active on the dia¬ mond and basketball court. Were you asking about that blond giant out there on the field, Josephine? Why, that ' s McCullough, of course.” Sam,” the calm, cool type, took things as they came. We don’t believe him capable of that human weakness called worry¬ ing. Baseball; Basketball; Junior Prom Committee; Ring Committee, Chairman; Class Treasurer. JOHN McGANN One of Weaver’s newcomers, John has acquired many friends during his sojourn with us. One of the all around good fellows, he went his way among us. His quiet manner and blond hair make him quite the “man about town.” WILLIAM McGRATH Mac’s” confidence in his ability is the main reason for his numerous accomplishments. Mac” also has the distinction of being on the first swimming team in Weaver. Neg¬ lecting to mention Mac’s” nu¬ merous feminine admirers would be doing him a grave injustice. How can anyone fail with such good feminine backing? Swimming Team; Choir; Glee Club. FRANCIS McQUEENEY Mac” is well-known and ap¬ preciated by all his friends for his quiet, dry wit and fine, congenial 4 character. One never sees him without a broad, flashing smile which would serve to uplift the most down-hearted. Crowning all this, we find a definite politeness and sense of sportsmanship which will most profitably aid him at Connecticut State College which he plans to attend. Football Squad; Track Squad. WILLIAM MEHLMAN ‘Willie’’ had the knack of getting his tasks done despite his easy-going manner, and his pres¬ ence seemed to stimulate a class¬ room with pep. Although he would rather play than study, his I. Q. is far from low, and his wit easily gains him a chair at the Round Table of social groups. Choir; Lookout Business Board. KATHLEEN MELLEY With either a song or a funny anecdote ever upon her lips, Kay” is one of the most delightful per¬ sons we have ever known. Her fluffy, dark hair and sparkling eyes excite the envy of all. Bubbling over with effervescence, she makes a pretty picture, eagerly convers¬ ing with a group of girls or boys (for the opposite sex is rarely ab¬ sent) in the corridor. __ Girls’ Business Club; Choir; Girls’ League; Glee Club. GEORGE MELTZER Debonair is the word for Utah.” A man about school, he has displayed a great susceptibility for the charms and wiles of the feminine sex. He should excel at singing in the bathtub because of his vocal and aquatic ability! Par¬ ticipating in many Weaver activ¬ ities, Utah” seems to be a jack- of-all-trades. A Capella Choir; Choir; Swim¬ ming Team; Track Team; Portal Business Board. ANNA MIELE She is as quiet as a mouse in school but hides an attractive per¬ sonality under her calm and un¬ ruffled exterior. Though she seldom talks in class, when she does, she usually knows what she’s talking about. In the list of her attributes we mention her cool smile, her neat and smart clothes, her proud walk, and her unobtrusive intel¬ ligence. Girls’ League. MAE MILLER Mae’s quiet charm lies in her poise and composure at all times. She never seems intrusive, but one is constantly conscious of her en¬ lightening presence. Her type of accurate and industrious work, complemented by character with a capital ”C,” should attain great heights for her. Girls ' League; Lookout Editorial Board; Honor Society. RIVIAN MILLER A versatile miss as is demon¬ strated by her activities while in Weaver! A typist of no mean ability, “Riv” was always around to lend a helping hand when needed.

Girls’ Sports; Chemistry Club; Girls’ Business Club; Lookout Busi¬ ness Board; Portal Board, Typist; Girls’ League. ROBERT MILLER One of the most active and the most talkative fellows in school — Gabby” Miller. This little fel¬ low rates pretty high in the hearts of the faculty and of his friends.

Cheerleader; French Club, Pres¬ ident; Honor Society, President; Junior Usher; Lookout Business Board; Latin Club, Treasurer; Historian. MIRIAM MILLSTEIN Although Daizy did not go in for school activities in a big way, she did lend her wholesale support to the few that she did enter, as the members of the Girls’ League will well testify. Possessed of a kindly nature and a soothing per¬ sonality, she will undoubtedly be an excellent nurse. We all wish her well at her chosen career. Girls’ League. CATHERINE MITCHELL Mitch’’ certainly portrayed fine school spirit by attending all our scholastic functions. Who has ever seen her without that smile, and we mean that smile? Can she swing a baseball bat! With her definitely Irish wit, she certainly will have many friends in what¬ ever she does. Girls League. LAURA MITCHELL Laura came to us from Boston and what was Boston’s sorrow was Hartford ' s joy. Although we hear that her main interests are outside of school, we feel she still belongs to us. Not even Major Bowes would have the right to give Laura the gong! JANET MORAN ' Jan’s’ ' personality twinkles with blitheness and gaiety. Well-man¬ nered and unassuming, she has be¬ come a staunch friend to many Weaverites in her charming and pleasant way. In spite of frequent attendance at many social func¬ tions, ‘ Jan’’ found time to star in the classroom. Girls’ Business Club. LOUIS MOROTTO Sparky,” Louis for short, was seen but seldom heard. If we wanted to discuss the latest best¬ seller, we went to him, for he al¬ ways keeps up-to-date on his read¬ ing. He hopes to travel the thorny path of a radio announcer. Judg¬ ing from his cultivated speaking voice, we predict that he’ll succeed. JANET MORRIS Sis is a familiar figure on the tennis court and soccer field; and at football games her voice might always be heard cheering lustily. An everlasting good nature, cheer¬ fulness, and good sportsmanship all form a part of her character, and her pep and vitality make friends for Sis’’ wherever she goes. Chemistry Club; Girls ' Leaders’ Corps; Girls ' League; Girls ' Sports. MARGARET MULCAHY Rainy mornings played no havoc with Peg’s” titian locks, not one of which was ever out of place, much to the envy of her class¬ mates. Peg” is just another proof that quiet appearances deceive. By the way, if one may rely on hear¬ say, Peg had an everlasting sup¬ ply of little Audrey” stories. Girls’ League. MARY MURPHY Tall and as graceful as a breeze, she all but floated through Wea¬ ver’s halls these three years. Artis¬ tically inclined, as her book covers proved, Mary would much rather draw pictures in class than do any¬ thing else — especially in history, eh, Mary? Nevertheless, success lies ahead for this lass if she chooses art as her life work. Art-Crafts Club; Girls’ League. WILLIAM MURRAY William’s voice is envied by us all and might win him many a beautiful lady, but ’tis well known that the fairer sex does not inter¬ est him. His quiet, yet pleasing manner makes him well-liked by all who know him. We wish the best of luck to William, knowing that with his talents he is certain of success. A Cappella Choir; Choir; Glee Club. BETTY NAIDORF If when roaming through the forest some day, you should spy a dainty maiden, it wouldn’t be a woodland nymph but Betty,” deeply engrossed in her nature study. In her ambitiousness for biological information, Betty has familiarized herself with varied facts concerning subjects of na¬ ture. She also possesses the valu¬ able quality of good sportsmanship. Girls ' League; Ingleside Club. JEANETTE NASHNER Twice weekly Jeanette exercised her vocal chords down in the girls’ locker room as can be readily affirmed by her gym mates. It seems Jeanette had no little trou¬ ble in finding keys which would open her locker. As a result, her favorite song proved to be, Have you got any keys, baby?” Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club; Ingleside Club. EDYTHE NECKRICH Edythe’s unique eyebrow arch and nonchalant air have distin¬ guished her as the sophisticated lady. She has the ability of cop¬ ing with serious situations, yet she remains as calm and as peaceful as ever. She has a keen apprecia¬ tion of the fine arts and enjoys the piano. With all these admirable traits, she would make an excellent teacher. Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ League. JOSEPH NEIMAN Joe has the attitude of one con¬ tinually peering through a keyhole; his alert sensibilities miss nothing that goes on about him. Many an irate Weaverite had demanded — “Who the blankety-blank wrote this in the Scoop — looking at Joe. His prowess with the pen is mightier than any sword; his candid snapshots are certainly can¬ did. Everybody knows Joe” — because he’s always on the spot” when anything goes on. Lookout Editorial Board; Ink- spot Board; Portal Business Board; Safety Club; Chess and Checker Club. NORMAN NELSON Nellie ' s hobbies are about as varied as are the nationalities of i cosmopolitan New York, the city where he last attended school. They include model airplanes, stamp collecting, photography, and ! rare coins. It shouldn’t be hard for Nellie to acquire a vocation from that list. Nellie” has other j interests too, and we don’t mean hobbies! i ! KATHERINE NIEBIELSKI Blond Kay has ever an un- j ruffled countenance, and her calm j acceptance of any troublesome situation is characteristic of her. Athletically inclined, she specially excels in baseball and swimming. Kay wants to be an office worker. If her present scholastic ; efforts are any indication, she’ll make a very efficient and pleasant one. Girls’ League. HERMAN NEIDITZ Perhaps not a law-breaker, but a strawbreaker nevertheless, Herm’s favorite pastime of bend¬ ing his schoolmates ' sippers in the lunchroom may have been annoy¬ ing, but it was all taken as good fun. A welcome companion be¬ cause of his intelligence, humor, and cheerfulness, “Herm” has many friends. Reading and boat¬ ing provide his recreation. Dramatic Club. j I i FRANK NOLAN Roxy, one of those enviable people who take things as they come, with apparently no annoy¬ ance or concern, won our friend¬ ships in spite of this or because of it! His special interests outside of school include photography and cooking. He plans to make con¬ tracting his career. DOROTHY NORMAN Take a vivid, alive and con¬ genial personality plus a sunny smile and a beautiful profile, and you have Dot. ' ' Sometimes known as a one-man girl,” never¬ theless ' Dot seldom failed to make friends wherever she went. Carrying herself with a proud but not haughty carriage, she excelled in sports; in fact, she excels in everything. Chemistry Club; Girls’ Leaders ' Corps, Vice-President and Treas¬ urer; Girls’ Sports. THEODORE NORMAN Teddy, the fortunate young¬ ster, has been blessed with an en¬ tire. clothing establishment from which to pick his daily attire, but we still can’t fathom his reason for omitting the cravat. That calm, unruffled countenance breaks into a beeyootiful smile when the Normanian funnybone is tickled. Chemistry Club; Portal Busi¬ ness Board. EDWARD O’BRIEN Tall and goodlooking, Red” is a very versatile person. Besides being one of Weaver’s best dan¬ cers, he was also a member of the track and swimming teams. His infectious grin and vivid person¬ ality have made him popular with both sexes. Interested in automo¬ biles and boats he intends to work in mechanical fields after gradua¬ tion. Track; Swimming; Dramatic Club. IDA OSTER Ida displays the stuff of w T hich Emily Posts are made. With quiet precision she has won honors in music and art at Weaver, and her talents and skill in these subjects forebode certain success for Ida. Her raven locks and Louise Rainer wistfulness made her an attractive figure, especially to the opposite sex. Choir; Girls’ League; Girls’ Busi¬ ness Club; Lookout Editorial Board; Inkspot Board. ANTHONY PANSULLO Need we describe him? Is there any femme who does not know this Tyrone Power likeness — any fel¬ low who is not proud to shake hands with this all-around great guy? Impossible! — for Tony’s” friendship is a gift to all. His efficient work as Lookout” sports editor has assured his success as a future journalist. Good luck, Tony — tis just compensation for being swell! Choir; Glee Club; Lookout Edi¬ torial Board; Track Team; Junior Prom Committee; Reception Com¬ mittee. ALFRED PARKS Keeney, the type of fellow with a grand personality, makes himself known wherever he roams. Though always seen walking briskly through the corridors, we weren’t fortunate enough to un¬ earth the main attraction which necessitated such speed, but we have our suspicions. Football Squad; Baseball Squad. SILVIO PASSARO That inconspicuous little chap toting the enormous brief-case pos¬ sesses this rather unique name. The lad ' s chief worry, it seems, was his physiology drawings, to which he devoted most of his spare time. Silvio, although appearing shy and reserved, broke down now and then to utter a number of very enlightening comments. ROCCO PERONE Dynamic is the word for “Roc, the strong, silent type that com¬ mands everyone ' s attention and ad¬ miration. He has distinguished himself by his scouting activities, by his self-possession and con¬ fidence in dramatic presentations, and by his sturdiness on the cross¬ country team. His fine voice is adaptable to serenading. Try him! Choir; Cross-country; Dramatic Club; Glee Club; Tie Committee. MARY PERRY That lithe, quicksilver-like figure speeding about the gym belongs to “Sandy.” As familiar a personage in musical activities as in the gym, “Sandy” excels in singing. Her dancing, another one of her diver¬ sified interests, has shown us that “Sandy” knows all the tricks and turns of “truckin’,” “pecking,” and the “Big Apple.” Girls’ Sports; Girls League, Choir. MARCIA PESSIN Strangers are certain they have seen Marcia somewhere, and after a bit of brain racking they discover it was behind the desk in the Northwest Branch Library. Yup, that’s Marcia. Besides her studies and library work she helped out in the lunchroom. We re still won¬ dering how she managed it! Choir; French Club; Girls’ League; Chemistry Club; Motto Committee. RAYMOND PETERS “Ray,” coming from out-of- town, seemed a bit of a stranger for a while, but he soon found a place among the Weaver student body. Being of a shy nature he spoke but little, but their the silent type is always appreciated as a welcome change from the garru¬ lous know-it-all. SOPHIE PETERSON Hasn’t Soph” just the danciest feet you have ever seen? What she lacks in stature, she more than makes up for in her decidedly dif¬ ferent but definitely attractive per¬ sonality. Soph” has a certain knack for making friends and for keeping them. She’s sure to suc¬ ceed as a dancing teacher, or as anything else. Girls ' League; Girls ' Business Club, President; Choir; Glee Club; Honor Society. ELIZABETH PHILLIPS Picture a slight, lithe young miss with a lilting smile, a pair of in¬ tensely blue eyes and there you have “Betty.” Her sympathetic and understanding manner won her many a staunch friend, and her sparkling w r it and spontaneous laughter caused many a lad to pine and sigh. Girls’ Leaders’ Corps; Color Committee. PATSY PIACENTE Peerless, persistent Patsy Pia- cente, the lad who has set a prece¬ dent in records of patience. As a reward for this zeal ous trait, “Pat” was given a promising berth on the highly respected “scrub” team. Seriously though, “Pat” is a game fellow. He can finish anything he starts — especially lunch. Football. SALLY PILVER A peach-and-cream complexion, a dimpled smile, and a pair of mischievous, sparkling eyes ac¬ quainted us with “Sarry,” fresh from Vermont. Having dwelt in the midst of snow and ice “up north,” her outdoor activities pro¬ fess her adeptness in sports. Al¬ ways a belle and never a wall¬ flower can be said of “Sarry” be¬ cause of her unquestionable ability in dancing. Girls League. HERBERT PIVNICK Calm and cool, Pivy” trod through his years at Weaver leav¬ ing an everlasting impression of ambition and intelligence. He par¬ ticipated in some of the finest extra-curricula activities offered and made a welcome place for him¬ self in each. Clean-cut and up¬ right, Herbert shines as an ideal example of American youth and a worthy model for his numerous followers. Dramatic Club, President; Ger¬ man Club; Honor Society; Junior Usher; Portal Board; Ring Com¬ mittee; Freshman English Prize; Class President. SEYMOUR POLES “Sey, a good-natured guy, has been a source of friendly annoy¬ ance to a certain student because of his numerous questions about the day’s homework. Overlooking that “fault,” we find him to be intelligent and likeable. Inclined toward business, he spends his time outside of school in the soda industry. Chemistry Club; Chess Club. VIVIAN POLINSKY Viv” might be called Diana, for, like the moon goddess, she seems to be the embodiment of all maidenly virtues. The personifica¬ tion of conscientiousness and good¬ will, she has exhibited many qual¬ ities which have contribut ed in making her well-liked while at Weaver. Also to her achievements may be added a varied musical ability. Choir; Girls ' League. THELMA POLMAN Thelma ' s Du Barry charm un¬ folds as soon as her captivating smile dawns. Twice blessed with her bewitching appearance and skilled competency, she has the happy faculty of obtaining high grades in the stenographic arts without much effort. Although her forte is the piano, she expends a i great deal of her time in becoming better acquainted with famous au- | thors and their works. Girls’ Business Club; Girls ' League; Color Committee. BARBARA PORISS “Bobbie” had a finger in every 1 pie, considering her participation in Weaver clubs and activities. With her Shirley Temple grin, she flirts provocatively and frequently. Quite ambitious, she has taught many little aspirants since she was thirteen. Her scintillating person¬ ality and whimsical spirit belie her quakerish appearance. C. H. L. S.; Choir; French Club; Girls’ League. JULIUS PORITZ An earnest, likeable fellow, “Juke” has set his course toward science, particularly bacteriology. School work and outside work keep him very busy; yet, many rec- i reations — chess and music among them — are actively engaged in also. Independent in spirit, frank in his opinions, and cheerful in disposition, “Juke ' ' has made many friends who will be proud of his future startling scientific discov- ! eries. A Cappella Choir; Chess Club; Chemistry Club, Secretary; Glee Club; Honor Society; Junior Usher. JACK PORTNER Towering above all heads, “Alti- ! tude” claims the distinction and j title of “Champion Knuckle and j Joint Cracker of Weaver.” His fraternal and genial attitude toward all have helped to make him one of the best liked students at Wea¬ ver. He aspires toward a career in some branch of art and intends to study at the Pratt Institute for this purpose. Chemistry Club; Lookout Edito¬ rial Board. ROSLYN POSNER Gay is the word for “Rozzie.” She generates good-will into every corner with those luminous, black eyes and her vivacious wit. A Peter Pan wistfulness distinguishes her charm. She spends her quieter moments in reading, her taste run¬ ning from Shakespeare to Booth Tarkington, and her livelier mo¬ ments in executing the strenuous steps of modern, social dancing. Girls’ League. ISABELLE PRESS “Issy,” a fair maiden with chest¬ nut tresses, frankly admits her mu- i sical qualities. Her high powerful soprano voice just wouldn’t blend with those mellow ones of the “A Cappella Choir”! Her future plans? If her voice fails her, she can always rely on the piano, and if the piano fails her, who knows what? Choir; German Club; Girls’ League; Glee Club. MURIEL PRINCE “Princey,” a girl with heaps of originality and imagination to the nth degree always maintained her dignified attitude even when she became flustered in Latin class. This bronze-haired lass could spout like a geyser for hours and still talk intelligently, upon the subject of horse-back riding (and astride a horse she was no amateur). Her ability as a fencer is also not to be sniffed at. More power to you, Muriel! Latin Club; C. H. L. S.; Lookout Editorial Board; Girls’ League; Portal Board; Motto Committee. JOHN PUFFER What a boy! Johnny” expects to pass the C. P. A. “exams” sometime in the future. Those who know him say he can’t miss. To offset the popular rumor that Johnny” has had his first shave, we have a reliable affidavit saying otherwise. But — give him time! Swimming Team; Track Team. MARY QUINN Although a lass of slight stature, Mary could never be slighted, for she walked blithely into our hearts, a poised, charming well-mannered girl. An expert on ice-skates and also on the dance floor, she always found a willing escort waiting for her. She shone abouKthe school like a ray of sunshine with her golden hair and sparkling smile which awakened many a stude” to the beauty of the world, and of Mary. Girls’ League; Girls’ Sports. MAX RABINOVITZ Without a doubt, “Mac’s” non¬ chalant and easy manner gave him an unfair advantage with the fairer sex since his activities in this field have long been a source of admira¬ tion to other marauding males. An ardent supporter of tennis, “Mac” could always be found at the Keney Park courts during the warm months. Safety Club; Track. WARREN RANDALL A modern Casanova. Yes, that’s what this young chap might be called. Coming all the way from New York to enter Weaver, War¬ ren soon won many friends whom he entertained with a steady flow of amusing dribble. That women are his hobby and special interest, he frankly admits—so stop, look, and listen, girls, and watch out for a blond mite on your trail. Chemistry Club. LEONARD RAVICH A lad with fine mentality, “Rav” led a carefree life during his early days at Weaver. However, during the following two years, he rapidly gained momentum in his scholastic standing. An amateur photog¬ rapher and chemist, he eagerly eyes Northeastern University and its chemical engineering course. With such qualities as cheerful¬ ness, alertness, and friendliness, “Rav” can not fail to be a profes¬ sional as well as social success. Art-Crafts Club; Chemistry Club; Choir; German Club; Glee Club. JOSEPH REUSCH Joe” is quite a big game hun¬ ter! If you don’t believe it, ask him. He took a pot shot at a chipmunk last fall, missed the chip¬ munk, hit a tree, and then the bul¬ let hit a poor unsuspecting squirrel which was sleeping. Seriously, though, here is the living exponent of the “Still Waters Run Deep” theory. “Joe” hardly ever has much to say, but the things he does! EDITH RICKS Edith, a newcomer to Weaver and unknown to most of us, hails from New York. We have learned that she has unique talent in ballet dancing. In fact, she used to train a group of girls who presented the ’follies” at her former high school every year. Her longing to return to New York and to pursue her career will urge her on to success, we hope. Girls ' League. SARAH RITVO Picture a statuesque young woman with a dignified-appearing manner (which deceives one eas¬ ily), a ready wit, and a laugh con¬ tagious to all listeners. We will wait for you while you conjure this apparition. Ready? You now have in your mind ' s eye the exact replica of Sarah ' s remarkable character. Dramatic Club; Girls ' League; French Club; Latin Club; Honor Society; Portal Board. RUTH ROBERTS Emily Post could well afford to take a lesson from Ruth, for she presents an excellent example of good taste and manners. Tall, stately and good looking with an unassuming air, she is a typical American Girl. Her prowess as an all-around athlete is unrivaled, par¬ ticularly her ability as an ice- skater. With an indefatigable source of witticisms, Ruth never failed to intrigue and delight her numerous male admirers. Girls ' Leaders’ Corps; Chemistry Club, Treasurer; Girls ' League; Lookout Business Board; Girls’ Sports. MILTON ROBINS Professor,” or perhaps Speed,” would best fit this studious and light-footed person. At track meets amid the cheers or howls of the spectators, he gave his all for Weaver and had spunk enough to finish his race. Interested in en¬ gineering (and his pet hobby is radio), he may some day startle us with some of his scientific discov¬ eries. Track; Cross Country. MARCIA ROBINSON Marcia has managed in four years to develop from a rather bashful and demure grammar- school pupil into a very grown-up young lady with a thoroughly en¬ gaging personality. Never loath to cast a smile on anyone, she has had a deciding influence in Wea¬ ver because of her neat-as-a-pin appearance and work. Indeed, the business world will welcome this efficient young lady. Girls’ League; Ingleside Club, President. SYLVIA RONNER A small wisp of blonde sweet¬ ness, Syl ' s” most noticeable char-i acteristics are her sparkling eyes and the flashing quirk of her mouth which may so charmingly break into bubbling laughter. She claims a liking for art, but can easier be seen as the artist’s sub¬ ject, for she reminds one of a bit of spring — come to life. Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ League. EDWARD ROSEN “Ed,” one of those boys who could breeze through a chem test without batting an eyelash, usually had the most-sought-after geometry homework paper in the school! Besides his good scholastic record, he turned in some very good times on both the cross coun¬ try and the track teams. Chemistry Club; Cross Country; Track. RUTH ROSEN Ruth chose singing as her main hobby in Weaver and took ad¬ vantage of all musical instruction available. She is an unruffled girl and one of the few who has never known the sensation of receiving demerits. Of an amicable nature and agreeable character, she will long be remembered for these tw T o most desirable traits. Choir; Glee Club. BEATRICE ROSENBERG “Bea” has invented a novel way of chewing gum and swinging her foot in harmonious rhythm. Per¬ haps this is due to the fact that her mind is so often occupied with dancing and with learning all the latest dance crazes. That certain twinkle in her eye and remarkable vitality have distinguished “Bea” as a live wire.” Girls ' League. ESTHER ROSENBERG Esther—another industrious lass who has finished her course in only two and a half years! Not content with this distinction, she had to go and do it without any demerits or ever being tardy. However, Esther was no grind and spent a great deal of time getting plenty of fun out of life. IRVING ROSENBERG ' Fellow Students,” here is a chap with no nickname! Tich Tich! this can’t go on. Irving is a quiet type of student, especially in the astronomy and geology classes. — Perhaps the words floored him! Of the many hobbies this world offers, he has chosen stamp collecting, and we think the counting of stamps has led him to follow accounting for his life work. SYLVIA ROSENBERG Blondie,” as her nickname well implies, alw r ays had a cheerful visage to greet you on a dull morning. Of course this is partly due to her constant pursuit of all sports. Horseback-riding particu¬ larly appeals to her. Idler indiffer¬ ent attitude toward school work enabled her to attend many dances and devote so much time to sports! Ingleside Club; Girls’ League. HARRIET ROSENFIELD Harriet will talk with anyone about anything, everything, or nothing — in fact she ' s very loqua¬ cious (but pleasingly so) and is characterized by a very curious disposition. Very small and dark, Harriet may appear sophisticated, but those who know her have found that she has a grand sense of humor, enjoys a good time, and is full of pep and vitality. Chemistry Club, Secretary; French Club; Girls’ League; Girls’ Sports; Honor Society. ROBERT ROSENFIELD Bob ' s” brilliant mind has been the password of Weaver ever since he came to us from Spring- field. Indeed, that city doesn ' t know what it lost when he entered our portals. A quiet, but engag¬ ing personality has won many friends for him. Bob s’’ future, dentistry, should hold much prom¬ ise for such an enterprising young fellow. Chemistry Club. ALFRED ROSENTHAL Musician plus businessman yields Al,” as the chemist would say. After conscientiously deliver¬ ing his newspapers, Al had other chores to do, and so found little time for his homework. How¬ ever, he has fared well, and plans a combined college and business course, preparation for any voca¬ tion. We have confidence in his success. Chemistry Club. MORRIS ROSENTHAL Industrious and capable, Moe” finds his time well divided. Sports, a chemistry laboratory at home, photography, and amateur radio predominate among his many hob¬ bies. His friendly, enthusiastic spirit has resulted in many ac¬ quaintances and friendships. Ap¬ parently destined for M. I. T., he carries with him our best wishes for a successful career. Chemistry Club; Cross Country, Manager; Junior Usher; Track; Hono r Society. ROBERT ROSENTHAL Robbie sat through his classes saying very little, but whenever called upon, he was always pre¬ pared to give a correct answer. We congratulate him upon his fine scholastic standing which served as the model for many a parent and the bane of many a pupil. In idle moments, Robbie” collects stamps — yes, a philatelist!

ROBERT ROUNDS Bob’s friendship is valued by all who know him because of his sincerity and seriousness in the ac¬ complishment of work. Although he has been one of us for but a year, Bob has already distin¬ guished himself as an artist of un¬ usual ability. We are confident that he will succeed in attaining honors at his chosen school — Syracuse University. Football Squad; Dramatic Club; Art-Crafts Club. DOROTHY RUBENSTEIN To find a girl as neat and as painstaking as Dot in every¬ thing she attempts would prove it¬ self a tedious task. Her ambition is to study beauty culture — a most natural occupation for this tidy miss. She would also qualify as a competent secretary. Dot may be small, but they say all good things come in small packages.” Girls’ League. MILDRED RUDNICK Tall and slim, Mildred could fre¬ quently be seen pounding a type¬ writer in preparation for her sec¬ retarial career. Dignified, yet with flashes of friendly humor, she con¬ tributed to the envy of fellow students by possessing auburn waves which were never once seen out of place. Although she partici¬ pated in few extra curricular activ¬ itie s, that work which she did un¬ dertake was completed efficiently and well. Girls League. ADELE RULNICK For a girl, Adele packed quite a bit of baseball knowledge, for many a time she left some know- it-all boy gasping for breath with a string of terms, players, batting averages, and pennant winners. But to avoid leaving the wrong impression of her, we must say that not a more conscientious stu¬ dent passed through the gates of Weaver, as can well be seen by her good record. Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ League; Honor Society. ROSLYN RUSSELL Sis enjoyed frequent mention on the honor roll, and lent her in¬ telligence to many extra school activities. Despite her scholastic achievements and her admirable dancing ability, Roslyn is a modest gal, preferring to describe the charms of her kid sister and over¬ look her own assets. The surprise is on “Ros,” for her lack of vanity merely adds to her attractability. C. H. L. S.; Girls ' Business Club; Girls’ League; Honor Society; Lookout Business Board. JAQUELINE RUTT This self-possessed young lady is our idea of the ideal business executive. Her efficiency and com¬ petency equip her for the business world, and we are sure success will seek her out soon after attending some business school when she is graduated from Weaver. “Jackie can be as ‘‘flippant’ as her nick¬ name implies, yet everyone likes her! We even include her teachers! Girls Business Club; Girls League. HAROLD SACK He always provides his com¬ panions with choice jokes, jests, and jibes. Studies were surely the least of his worries, the most im¬ portant being girls, babes and dames. He effectively succeeded in being the humorous center of at¬ traction in his classes, and livened up the dullest of them. His closest friends, however, will attest to the genuineness of his usually hidden feelings and will tell you that he’s a swell fellow. GILBERT SAEGAERT Presenting Weaver’s King of Swing ! Gil’s’’ ability as an or¬ chestra leader holds a certain fas¬ cination for those of the fairer sex, and he knows how to take advan¬ tage of it. A smile for one and all helps his business — or so we think. It seems a future great’’ is among us. What do you say, Gil”? Glee Club; Choir; A Cappella Choir; Band Leader. HELEN SAMUELS A tribute to Sammy,’ the girl with that brilliant red hair which has roused the envy of many of her schoolmates! Whenever Helen wasn ' t delving into the deep mys¬ teries of geometry, chemistry, and German, her fiery top could be found on the basketball court or the soccer field. For a long time, Sammy, we shall remember that curly red hair. Your classmates wish you lots of luck! Girls’ League; Honor Society, Secretary; Girls’ Leaders’ Corps; German Club, Secretary; Girls’ Sports. JEROME SAVAGE Although a newcomer to Wea¬ ver, Jerome quickly became known for his astonishing speed at mathe¬ matics. Probably one of the speed¬ iest in the class, he could add, multiply, or divide large sums in a twinkling of an eye. A well- known figure around chem” and physics labs, Jerome did well in both subjects and shows promise in these fields. Chemistry Club; Track Squad. ANGELINE SCAVETTA Tim rightly deserves her nick¬ name which is derived from Tiny Tim of newspaper fame, for she is under five feet tall. Neverthe¬ less, in spite of her smallness, she manges to pack into her size a great deal of good old-fashioned common sense and capability. These characteristics, along with sympathy and understanding, are important requisites for Tim’s” chosen profession, nursing. Girls’ League; Ingleside Club. PHYLLIS SCAVETTA Her friends call her Pet,” and she certainly is one. Shadows never darken her smile nor dim her laughter. She can bowl with the best and likes hiking and all sports. Who wouldn ' t if they could do as well in them as she does. We believe that her industry and effort in school will be rewarded by a place in the business world. Girls’ League; Ingleside Club. LENETTE SCHENKER Nettie can be recognized by her cute pout as she lapses into one of her periods of silence only to break it a moment later by emit- ing a charming giggle. Her well- chosen clothes add to the attrac¬ tiveness of her lithe figure on a dance floor where she often shines. All in all, the class of 1938 agrees that Nettie is okeydoke”! Girls ' League; Lookout Editorial Board; Matinee Dance Committee; Reception Committee. HARRIET SCHLOSS Hattie, one of our most ardent trippers of the light fantastic, might well be dubbed cham¬ pagne so vivacious her nature and inconsistent her actions. Her scholastic efforts confined them¬ selves to the week before report cards! Her dancing feet, ready wit, and hiccuping giggle lure many ad¬ mirers of the opposite sex. Girls’ League. EDITH SCHMALTZ Edith belies the handed-down creed that red-heads have tempers, for never have we seen her pa¬ tience ruffled. Petite Red” has a quiet, refined manner through which seeps her sweet modesty. And how we envy those copper- colored waves — lucky girl! Girls’ League; Ingleside Club. SARAH SCHMEL If reserved people belonged on a reservation, Sarah would be an Indian! Her quiet and serene at¬ titude towards everyone makes her loved by all. We hear that stamp collecting is one of her hobbies, and we wonder what the fascina¬ tion can be! Sarah has all of our best wishes for a happy future. Ingleside Club; Girls’ League. EDITH SCHNEIDER The echoes of a clear, melodious voice resound through Weaver and bring to mind pleasant mem¬ ories of “Edie’s” lovely voice lend¬ ing its tones to many school af¬ fairs. The class of 1938 predicts a brilliant musical career for this ambitious songbird, and good luck in her future study at the Julliard Institute of Music. Choir; German Club; Girls League; Glee Club; Ingleside Club. IDA SCHWEIBISH “I” loves everyone but “I.” — Yes, sir, modesty is indeed an at¬ tribute of this curly-haired girl. Her willing, pleasant smile com¬ pletes her shy amicability, and her sporting nature has been displayed in the field of girls gymnastics. Ida’s agreeable friendliness has made up for her lack of participa¬ tion in extra-curricular activities. Girls ' League. RHODA SCHULMAN “Rho, the personification of Webster’s definition of sincerity, radiates a welcome smile to all, for her offering of friendship is never-ending. She often enter¬ tains her escorts with her lilting voice and can switch with ease from humming a popular tune to sketching in the smooth, free hand of an ambitious ’’artist-to-be.’’ Girls’ League; Art-Crafts Club; Honor Society. GEORGE SCHWIND We can hardly believe that the rather bashful boy who came to Weaver as a freshman has devel¬ oped in four years into the fun- loving character that is George today. But all things happen for the best, and indeed we like him much better in his new guise. Yours truly has seen him loitering many a time in the hall but, mind you, with a definite purpose, one certain “femme”! HARRY SCHWALBENDORF Harry has actively engaged in several of the musical activities of the school. Besides engaging in sports, he claims distinction for an unusual “interest”—no women. Few and far between do we find men with that attitude! Pratt In¬ stitute beckons to him at present, and he hopes to respond and be¬ come a draftsman. Glee Club; Choir; Track. JEROME SCOLER It seems that “Jerry” has a habit of hiding behind a tennis racket. Perhaps he attempts to camouflage his wily ways for women. Or maybe he’s just one of those ec¬ centric actors trying to disguise himself from the eyes of the pub¬ lic. At any rate, he’s an admir¬ able chap who has gone far in making himself popular. Dramatic Club; Tennis Team. ALBERTA SCHWARTZ In “Al we have a girl who is completely and competently at home in whatever situation may arise. A bird-like alertness, cou¬ pled with a keen business mind and a praiseworthy sense of peace and good-will to all, characterizes “Al and distinguishes her from the crowd. Girls’ League; Girls’ Business Club. VIRGINIA SCOTT Everyone knows “Scotty,” since she has graced the Schedule Room with her presence for three years, and so controlled the destiny of many Weaverites. Her love of fun and happy-go-lucky disposi¬ tion make her popular both in school and on the dance floor. With her knack of making friends, “Scotty” should be a success wher¬ ever she goes. Girls’ League. ESTHER SCULLY Esther didn’t talk the first ten minutes of school as she wasn ' t there much before then. If it is sure that absence makes the heart grow fonder, Esther should be the best loved girl in Weaver! She w T as absent almost as much as she was present. Her energy employed itself to good advantage in stamp¬ collecting. She hopes to become an office girl. Girls’ League. MARJORIE SHEA She gleamed and sparkled, then smiled all over.” ‘ Marge” per¬ sonifies cheerfulness. Her engaging grin and winning ways earned for her many friends when she arrived at Weaver fresh from Bulkeley. She has displayed a variety of in¬ terests ranging from football, which she follows with avidity, to business accounting. Girls’ League. MARION SHEAR Marion has been with us only a short time, but during this lapse, we have learned that the “Hard¬ ware City’s” loss was indeed our gain. She displays an even dis¬ position and an undisturbed reac¬ tion to events around her. Despite her loyalty to her old Alma Mater, her friendly attitude indicates that she can widen her heart to include Weaver as well. Girls ' League. EDYTHE SHER Besides being a young “lady,” in every sense of the word, Edie” takes an active interest in girls’ sports, swimming being her fa¬ vorite. Music takes up part of her leisure moments, anci how she loves to tickle those ivory keys. She intends to acquire a position in secretarial work, and we hope her intentions are strictly business! Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ League; Girls’ Sports. SAUL SHERRY It can be said of Saul that he takes to work as a duck does to water. Early in his high school career he started to tackle the busi¬ ness world and can say without boasting, Now I am a man.” His quiet aspect serves only to make his charm more attractive to his many friends. When he is not too busy collecting coins from his em¬ ployers, he collects stamps and rarer coins than those received in a pay envelope. RICHARD SHLOMBERG The camera clicks, the picture is taken, and Shadow” again has captured a candid atrocity. Shad,” always quite popular among his school chums, has ribbed and pranked almost all that got in his way. The worst puns ever heard have come from him, yet every¬ one laughs. It must be personality! Camera Club; Track Squad. GERTRUDE SHEMONSKY “Gertie” has prepared for sec¬ retarial work, and perhaps a little singing on the side; but she would prefer to make singing her career. She truly has a lovely soprano voice and has admirably proven it in the girls’ locker room and the lunchroom. She possesses a cer¬ tain sincerity in her work which should enable her to succeed. Choir; Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ League. ALAN SHOOR “Al” is fortunate in that he has two desirable characteristics — a pleasing personality and an intel¬ lectual mind. Though a bit re¬ served in his manner, “Al” soon begins to warm up and proceeds to add another person as his friend. When asked what his plans for the future are, Alan said he wished to make a name for himself in the business world. Baseball Squad; Chemistry Club, President. f ARTHUR SIEGAL Among the list of students at Weaver who believed in th e art of fun making most of the time include Usha, who also has seri¬ ous moments even though they are few and far between. We find Usha likewise interested in fish¬ ing, an odd interest for such a lad, who seemed to crave excitement and crowds. ADOLF SIEGEL A consistent talker in plane geometry and chemistry classes, much to the annoyance of certain neighbors, Boomey has never- theless made many friends, female as well as male. One recognizes him by his orderly, curly hair and multi-colored suits. Sports, from swimming to chess, delight him. Good luck in college, Boomey. MERLE SILLITER Often the center of a group, Merle’s laughter could be heard above all the others. Because she qenerally remained with her own clique, many of her schoolmates lost the benefit (?) of hearing her many wisecracks. Merle, another firm supporter of the football games at Weaver, often could be heard cheering lustily for the team. Girls’ League; Ingleside Club. ALFRED SILVER Al certainlv earned his nick¬ name Rolled-up-pants” Silver, for through sunshine and snow he sauntered to school sporting shor¬ tened trousers and flashy socks. To him a joke was a vital necessity, and he never tired of cracking wise.” Indifferent to school work, particularly homework, Al,” nev¬ ertheless, could produce incredible results from the before-class cram¬ ming. HELEN SILVER We have always considered Helen our own example of the vivacious brunette type. Known as a rather talkative girl, she can easily be identified by an infec¬ tious smile and rippling Silver-y” laugh. A sure cure for the blues — this young lady. Girls’ League. IRVING SILVERSTEIN Sliv’s popularity has been at¬ tributed to his wavy hair and good looks, but in reality it goes much deeper than that. His character and loyalty, besides a talent for music, constitute the eminent fac¬ tors which make him so well liked by his friends — whether girls or boys. We cannot help but wish the best of luck to such a regular fellow” as he. Dramatic Club; Glee Club; Inter- High Orchestra; Nominating Com¬ mittee; Orchestra. ELEANOR SIMMONS Eleanor’s faithful attendance at the Weaver games certainly would cheer anyone on, and cheer she did, lustily and whole-heartedly, but always with a good word for the lesser rival. We vote El” a bouquet of orchids for this grand sportsmanlike spirit which she brought to Weaver, and hope that she continues on in the business world as successfully as she won our admiration and praise. Girls’ Business Club; Girls ' League. MARION SINGER Ice-skating at Keney Park wouldn’t be skating without Mar’s presence, for ’round and round she went, every night pos¬ sible, never wearying of flying over the ice with the greatest of ease and grace. In her spare hours Mar occupies herself in reading, and no doubt this hobby makes her the diversified conversationalist that she is. Ingleside Club; Girls’ League. BETTY SKLAR Here we have a girl at home and at her ease in any situation and one who can made friends any¬ time, anywhere. Active in all af¬ fairs in Weaver and with diverse hobbies of swimming, reading, and singing, we are sure that Betty will be a success both in college and in her musical career. Choir; German Club; Girls’ Busi¬ ness Club; Girls’ League; Glee Club; Typist for the Lookout, Girls’ Sports. EVELYN SMITH Smitty’s” gracious charm and poise lie in her utter nonchalance. A grown-up Shirley Temple, her twinkling eyes belie the impression of dignity which her stately car¬ riage gives. These attractions and other fine qualities account for her great popularity. During her stay at Weaver, Evelyn has displayed a promising talent for art. Art-Crafts Club, President; Girls ' Business Club; Girls ' League; Honor Society. NANCY SODERBERG Nancy seldom was seen without a horde of admirers at her beck and call. A dancer of wide re¬ nown and blessed with an indivi¬ dual ability to wear beautiful clothes, a rosy complexion, and a nose retrousse,” topped with a captivating smile, this diminutive miss found approval wherever she went, and she certainly went places and did things.” Art-Crafts Club; Girls’ Business Club; Girls ' League; Reception Committee. FRANCES SOLOMON A girl who knows her pigments and how ' to use them with pictorial expertness, Frances has drawn a high place for herself in the ranks of the Art-Crafts Club. Her artistic flair and knack for color also finds expression in the choice of multi¬ colored flowers for her garden. Art-Crafts Club; Girls’ League. MARCELLA SMITH Smitty,” the girl who always gets the male leads in Girls’ League presentations because of her manly” grace, slings a mean im¬ personation of Martha Raye, on occasions. Her future lies in nurs¬ ing, and she’ll never lack patients, (even if she has to make them sick first!) A swell sport and good pal” to everyone! Chemistry Club; Girls’ League; Lookout Editorial Board. SIDNEY SOLOW Everything ' s jake” with Jake” Solow who has enough brains for all of us put together. Studies were never difficult for him, and his geometrical deductions were the envy of his bewildered classmates. His appealing personality goes well with his intelligence, and his will¬ ingness to lend money (secondary reason, of course) won him many devoted friends. Latin Club. ORICE SMITH Smitty’s’’ effervescent cheerful¬ ness and abundant good-nature have made him very popular at Weaver. His smile is the irresis¬ tible type which makes for him many friends. Very interested in biology he hopes and expects to become a teacher of this subject. Besides this he is an enthusiastic follower of all sports. NORMAN SOUSA Sousy’s” beaming countenance and witticism have gained him a place in everyone’s affections. Ap¬ parently no one has ever impressed on him the fact that life is a seri¬ ous proposition, and consequently his personality is even more en¬ gaging. He enjoys skating and swimming very much. He plans to attend an Art School after graduation. We wish him lots of luck. Boys ' Commercial Club. MARSHALL SPECTOR In spite of his bluffing and blun¬ dering in classes, Specs” usually landed up at the top of the list when the monthly marks came around. His intentional bluffing, one of the great delights of his classmates, frequently proved the blight of his teachers. “Specs,” famous for his ability to think up trivial questions, warded off many an unwelcome quiz! Chemistry Club; German Club, Secretary. NORMA SPEIRS Norma holds the envaible posi¬ tion of having sailed through high school in two and one-half years and (more to be wondered at) without any demerits. Her chief hobby is swimming, but she is also talented in art and music, which, together with her captivating per¬ sonality, should make her well fitted for her chosen vocation of a kindergarten teacher. Art-Crafts Club; Choir; Girls’ League. JENNIE STENGEL Vocations are many, but Jennie prefers bookkeeping. We wonder if she knows her debits and credits. Whether or not she knows them, Weaver will always think of Jen¬ nie as an asset. Our hope is that she may continue to work hard and come smiling through. Girls League. LOUISE STICKLOR A babyish pout, a shake of a curly head, then a pleading smile, and another individual gives in to Sticky.” With something always new to tell, this lively, little dare¬ devil relates her latest unheard of stunts. Her name can readily be added to the list of to-be artists, and her swinging in the latest dance-steps offers equal attraction. Have you ever seen her truckin’ ” away? Girls’ League. SEYMOUR STOLTZ Sy” has been sporting that collegiate brown felt with the up¬ turned brim for years. Parting is such sweet sorrow.” Shall we take up a collection, boys? “Sy’s” big interest lies in dramatics in which he demonstrated consider¬ able talent. At present he is ac¬ tive in a minor part in some New York play. We hope he may find a promising career ahead. Chemistry Club; Dramatic Club; Lookout Editorial Board. VIRGINIA St. PIERRE Jane is definitely a “live wire.” Her slim body possesses a pep and vitality that asserted itself in school and out. Jane ' s ability in her studies was equalled by her activ¬ ity in social programs and the field of sports. She expects to work her way up in business as a sten¬ ographer. By way of the boss’s son, Jane? Girls’ League; Girls’ Leaders’ Corps: Honor Society; Lookout Editorial Board; Ring Committee; Girls’ Sports. CONSTANCE STRANO A small bag of good cheer pre¬ sents itself to us in the form of Rusty.” Many people had a ten¬ dency to overlook her when their noses were too high, for she is quite tiny. Some of our more lordly members should have looked down once in a while for a change. They missed the “little” lady. However, most of us saw and liked her. Girls’ League; Ingleside Club. RUTH SUDARSKY “My dog loves your dog, so why can ' t we love each other?” Perhaps this is what Ruth has in mind when she proudly displays her collie “Chief” to its ardent ad¬ mirers. Besides her interest in dogs, Ruth participated in girls’ sports and always had a certain longing for surprising one with her spontaneity and ingenious pranks. Chemistry Club; Girls’ League; Girls’ Sports; Ingleside Club, Presi¬ dent. BARBARA SUGERMEYER We know you well, Barbara, your sociability, and your sense of humor twinkling from the corners of your merry eyes. We also know that you’re a mighty good pal. It would be a mistake to leave unmentioned “Bobbie ' s” keen interest in collecting dogpins; that seems to be with her a most pleas¬ urable hobby. Girls’ League; Ingleside Club; Choir. ROBERT SULLIVAN Like Old Man River ’Bob just keeps rolling along. His im¬ perturbable, smiling countenance will be missed very much by those left behind. Although he has many hobbies, his chief interests center on skating, swimming, and golf¬ ing. With many varied activities he can keep fit at all seasons of the year! THOMAS SWEENEY Tom seems to excel at col¬ lecting records — in track and those of Bing Crosby. His quali¬ ties of modesty and of quiet friendliness have contributed in making him one of the best-liked boys in school. Also, while at Weaver, he has displayed the pleasing habit of always appear¬ ing well-groomed. Boys’ Commercial Club; Track Team, Captain. ROBERT TAMKIN Bob talks, thinks, and writes swing” so much that some day he may become as famous with his clarinet as the King of Swing,” Benny Goodman! If you want to keep out of hot water,” never start an argument about swing” with Bob,” for you may rest as¬ sured he knows all the answers. Inter-High Orchestra; Orchestra. MARIE THOMPSON Marie will be a credit to any business with her lightning-fast typing fingers and rapid stenog” mind. As if this wasn’t enough, Marie will continue on to a busi¬ ness school and in later years she will find herself an A-l topnotch secretary. In addition to her ca¬ reer, Marie confesses modestly that she sews and tap-dances. Quite a versatile person! Girls ' League. WALTER THORNER A quiet, mild-mannered lad, Walt” entertains thoughts of be¬ coming a state policeman — an in¬ teresting, adventurous vocation. As a future law-enforcer, we know r he ' ll faithfully haunt the criminal with his evil designs on society. Walt’s” time outside of school is occupied to a great extent by work and various sports. Let’s hope his ambition is realized. MURIEL SWICKER Muriel will go far in this world of ours, for her scholastic record has been unimpeachable. An ath¬ lete of the finest sportsmanship, she rides horseback and plays ten¬ nis, soccer, and basketball equally as well as she prepares her Virgil or chemistry. In the future we shall be proud to say that we knew her when.” Girls’ Leaders’ Corps; Girls’ League; Latin Club; Portal Board; Motto Committee, Chairman. WERNER THORNER Like his brother Walter in many ways, Werner also has plans for an interesting future-— aviation. One of his hobbies — the collecting of airplane photographs —- shows his tendency toward that field. Quiet, sincere, and friendly, Wer¬ ner has done his work with little ado and therefore little notice. Good luck to a promising airman! FRANCES TOPPER Toppy” came to Weaver from California. A ray of sunshine is always welcome in anyone’s life, just as she was in ours. Although here only two years, she took part in almost every activity going on and showed her cleverness in all of them. A good student and an excellent sport like tiny Toppy” is tops with us. Girls’ League; Girls ' Business Club; Choir; Lookout Business Board; Honor Society. MOLLY TORO Watch Molly Toro ! In four sports, softball, basketball, soccer, and track, Molly has made this phrase a catchword in her four years at Weaver. Besides her athletic prowess, she has high am¬ bitions of becoming a lawyer or an aviatrix. To Molly, her class¬ mates say, May you attain one or both of your ambitions.” Girls ' Leaders ' Corps, President; Girls’ League; Girls’ Sports. JAMES TUMATH A prize pun-maker, Jimmie” gets along without a shove. He can take care of himself and dares you to doubt it. It seems his chief interest in school is not primarily studies — but — who said that? Can you spare a moment to give us the lowdown, Jimmie”? Track. EDWARD TURNER Lean, lanky, likeable Edward — a swell fellow who took both his school work and outside activities seriously. Eddie spent most of his time running for his Alma Mater and turned in some splendid work. Perhaps his ability to run accounts for the fact that he was never late for school! Choir; Cross Country; Glee Club; Track. SHIRLEY TUCK Because of her sporty clothes and unusual strut, Shirley received fa¬ vorable notice as she wended her way among us. Shirl ' s” greatest ambitions lie in artistic fields. Her ready smile has contributed in no small degree to her being well liked, and we trust that a success¬ ful future will open up for her. Girls’ League; C. H. L. S.; Art- Crafts Club. ELMER TYRER Elmer passes out of our great institution with prospects of be¬ coming a great hunter. His hobby is collecting guns and other old weapons of every description. He claims to be quite a shot.” In the track field events his weight was quite a help to him in heaving the old shot put.” Dramatic Club; Track Team. LEONARD TULIN Lens” ambition-—civil engi¬ neering — sets a worthy goal. With a weakness for demerits, he managed to evade many of them by his remarkable technique in the gift of gab.” He excels in tennis and recently became a camera fiend. Using his intellect and in¬ itiative, he most likely will succeed and overcome all obstacles. Camera Club; Chemistry Club; Dramatic Club; Junior Usher; Portal Board; Motto Committee. SELMA UNGAR Sue” is the young lady with the pretty dark curls and sponta¬ neous laugh. New York holds several interests for her, aside from a walk to the top of the Empire State Building. Sue” also re¬ serves her Thursday nights for Bob Burns, the radio comedian. Sorry, fellows, better luck next time, for Sue’s” heart is lost to that lad from Arkansas.” Girls’ League. MARGARET VALENTE One of our nicest classmates, Dolly’ has made many friends during her stay at Weaver. She enjoys a quiet evening at home listening to the radio, yet she has a great deal of pep and vitality and will surely make her chosen career as a newspaper reporter a success. Girls’ League. PHILIP VALENTE Little man, what now?” might well be applied to “Phil” because of the complete unexpectedness of his actions. He possesses an abundance of self-assurance and physical ability which have enabled him to star on many of Weaver ' s athletic teams. His infectious grin, coupled with a delightful sense of humor, easily identifies “Phil” as the school wit. Baseball; Basketball; Football. HILDA VEROFF Hilda liked our class so much that she made a double which en¬ abled her to graduate with us. Her success at being quiet and of at¬ tending strictly to scholarly af¬ fairs deserves respect, for by na¬ ture she loves to frolic. Just watch her let loose at various sports con¬ tests which, incidentally, interest her very much. Girls ' League; Chemistry Club. ANNA VICINO Blondie,” a tiny thing whose vitality and good cheer endear her to us all, possesses a charming smile, chock-full of gaiety, another of her many assets. Lately Blondie” has acquired a pair of glasses, which makes us think that now we better watch our step, for “Blondie” is wide awake! DAVID VOGEL Dave” was one of the most efficient worriers of our class. The thought of a quiz being sprung suddenly in class tormented him terribly. One can easily imagine the mental torture he must have undergone during test week. By the way, Dave, would you please state Gay-Lussac’s Law of Gas Volumes for us? JULIUS WACHTEL During an extensive interroga¬ tion, “Yuddie” revealed himself to be an ardent believer in democ¬ racy. I am an ardent foe of all isms’,” quoth he fervently. When not bitterly condemning that well established institution called home¬ work, the lad bounced around the cheery corridors with personality plus” stamped upon his Roman features. DONALD WALDERS Don reminds us of Thales, the Greek philosopher who was al¬ ways seeking the Why?” behind world happenings. A lover of de¬ bate, he has an uncanny knack of stating facts which led him to vic¬ tory in many an argument. In his air-castles of the future, Don” sees his name being added to the list of genius artists in America’s Who’s Who. Portal Board. LUCY WALKER Lu’s proficiency along the sew¬ ing line is yet to be rivaled. Her nimble and ingenious fingers de¬ signed and fashioned her cl ever clothes which she w T ore with a dis¬ tinction all her own. When she isn ' t reading good literature” and when the weather permits, Lu favors diversion in the form of ice-skating. Girls’ League. I I CHARLOTTE WALTERS This girl has a unique ability, that of ballet dancing and in future years, we prophesy that we shall see her following through in this profession. In French class her smooth, fluent enunciation earned much admiration and respect for her. By nature, modest and un¬ assuming, Charlotte nevertheless can boast of a wide circle of close friends. Girls ' League. McKINSLEY WARE Following the example of his brothers, ' ' Snooky” plays basket¬ ball in a manner which is amaz¬ ingly difficult to stop. His shifty footwork and brilliant passing, in addition to his split-hair accuracy, have made him one of Wea¬ ver’s better basketball players. Snooky’s kindly nature and jo¬ vial good-humor, coupled with his skill on the basketball floor, have made an impression on Weaver which will not soon be forgotten. Basketball Squad. FRANK WASSERMAN Frank, one among the few stu¬ dents who have difficulty in get¬ ting to school on time, possesses an ability to talk himself out of tight spots.’ His stories con¬ tain a delightful charm! Possessed j of a keen business mind, Frank will soon secure an office job or turn into a super-salesman. We wish him success! Boys’ Commercial Club. MARION WASSERMAN No matter what kind of weather we might have, Marion always greeted us with a pleasant smile. Short and dark, this little lady will try her luck in the w’orld as an office girl. Marion will make some¬ body a fine wife, for she admits a liking for cooking, sewing, and reading. Maybe she will grab off the “boss.” Girls’ League. MELVIN WEBBER Mel found “A s’’ easier to ob¬ tain than demerits, and how his nonchalant manner accomplished it will long remain a wonder. While fellow students pondered their path through chemistry equations, Web eased the right answers onto paper and with a friendly smile, turned to his hobby of snap¬ ping candid shots of his numerous buddies! Camera Club, President; Football Squad; Lookout Business Board; Chemistry Club. WILLIAM WEIDL Bill” has a touch of art in his veins that every so often shows up in some admirable work. An all- around trackman and a swell fel¬ low, Bill” holds the endurance record for skating around Keney Park. His various exploits on the Track squad have won for him an enviable position in the hearts of the weaker sex. Portal Board; Track Squad. GERTRUDE WEIL No words can describe “Gert” 10 the extent which she deserves! Although she has been on more committees than you could shake a stick at, Gert still wants to do more for us. We now have the unpleasant task of bidding adieu to one of the finest girls it has been our pleasure to know. Girls’ League; Art-Crafts Club; Choir; Girls ' Sports. MORRIS WEIL A future Patrick Henry! Red” prepared for his law career with ardent, yet sometimes doubtful, de¬ bates in his history classes. Popular and sensible, he has many female admirers and many close friends. Sports, women, and business each received a share of his time. Hail to a future upholder of justice and scourge of all criminals! Chess Club; Latin Club. ANITA WEINBERG Anita’s quiet self-assuredness lends her an air of poise and tran¬ quil charm. With all her calm¬ ness, she possesses the “gift of gab,’’ and has been known to hold people spellbound by some adven¬ turous tale of hers. An expert dial- twister and traveler, Anita counts knitting among her various ac¬ complishments. Girls’ League. MARVIN WEINSTEIN His after school activities some¬ what limited by his job, Weiny” refused to let work keep him from loyally supporting the school in its ,various affairs. Whenever Weaver teams played on home ground, “Weiny” could be seen and heard on the sidelines rooting for his Alma Mater. Chemistry Club; Latin Club. LILLIAN WEINBERG Petite, fluffy-haired Lillian dis¬ plays a surprising amount of sa¬ gacity for one of such small stat¬ ure. She may lay claim, also, to one of the most bewitching noses in Weaver because of the way this charming feature wrinkles up when she smiles. We bestow on her, well-known for amusing quips, the title Dorothy Parker of Weaver. Latin Club; Inkspot Board: Choir. SYDNEY WEINSTOCK We ll miss that familiar stroll of Syd’s,” so noticeable as he crept wearily from class to class. It was as individual as a fur coat in July. Syd” and his pals wore a path to Southington — for a number of months. Sort of expanding your territory a bit, eh, Syd”? Camera Club; French Club. RITA WEINER Music claims all, at least most all — of Ruth ' s” attention, and her lilting clear voice was a joy to all whether singin’ in the showers or carolling in the Glee Club. Ruth is a note-able” addition to any class, and we are especially glad she made a double and joined us. Choir; Glee Club; Girls’ League. MORRIS WEISS A witty and sociable lad! One becomes quite overwhelmed by Morris’ fast comebacks and clever sayings. With much newspaper experience in transacting business and confronting people, he has an excellent background with which to enter the commercial world. Physically fit from indulgence in many sports, and mentally alert, we know he will grasp all his op¬ portunities. BERNICE WEINGROFF Instead of working in study hall, Bernie kept her section of the room in constant commotion due to her inexhaustible witty remarks, at which she always laughed the hardest. The threatening eye of the teacher frightened her not, for she could always talk a him” out of demerits. But when Bernie becomes serious, everyone beware! Girls’ League; Ingleside Club. SYLVIA WEISS Ambitions for artistic achieve¬ ments attract another Weaver student! Sylvia prefers a most unusual branch of art — that of textile designing! During the four years that we have known her, she has always been a determined, hard-working student. Hence we feel that those traits should stand her in good stead in the ever more popular profession. Girls’ League; Art-Crafts Club; Ingleside Club. I ANNE WELCH Anne unconsciously kept every¬ one in “splits ' ’ with her exuberant, witty eloquence and infectious laughter. A liberal sprinkling of freckles, sparkling blue eyes, and fair hair, along with a fiery “Irish ' ' temper, characterize this lass from old Erin. A grand gal, Anne, with her refreshing straight-forw T ard manner and her hopeful aspira¬ tions of becoming a successful newspaper reporter! Girls’ League; Ingleside Club, Portal Board. CHARLES WELLES Unlike most newspaper men “Charlie’ is perhaps the quietest boy to graduate from Weaver in a long time. To become a suc¬ cessful “news hawk w r e suggest a little more “pep will help a great deal. “Charlie likes sports, and in the future his height will help him in looking over the heads of other spectators! EVELYN WELLS East Hartford’s loss is Wea¬ ver ' s gain, for Evelyn hailed from over East. She was accepted by her classmates as quiet and re¬ served at first, but that studious air readily vanished when the oc¬ casion demanded it. Inky has never found anyone that she doesn’t like; and, conversely, no one can be found who doesn’t like Inky.” Girls’ League. VIRGINIA WELLS Black-haired Ginny” is often seen but seldom heard. Her type” obviously believes in the old proverb, Silence is golden.” Ginny” excels in typing, and has future plans to use her secretarial ability. We have doubts as to her quietness outside of school, so we give fair warning to em¬ ployers! “Ginny” is on her way! Glee Club; Choir; Girls’ League. DAVID WERBA The expression “a head for busi¬ ness” describes “Dave” quite ac¬ curately, and is backed up by his excellent executive management of the Lookout Business Board. Usually serious-minded, “Dave’s” subtle wit sometimes exposes itself in a flash of glory, and herein lies the secret of his easy ability to make friends. Versatile and cheer¬ ful, he is, all in all, a swell guy! Camera Club; Choir; Glee Club; Dramatic Club; Lookout: Business Board, Manager. THOMAS WHALEN Curly dark hair, brown eyes, a pleasant personality combined gives you “Tom” Whalen. His ability as a track man needs little mention, for he starred in both the mile and cross country events. Tom” had little to do with the Weaver beauties and plans to find work as soon as possible — like so many of the rest of us! Cross Country; Track. MAURICE WELLS Often, from various reports, Maurice was seen at the Y. W. C. A. We soon learned that her main interests center around that institution where she wishes to be¬ come an advisor or a social worker. Her willingness towards her classmates, her cheerful smile, and her amicable nature prove that Maurice will succed at her chosen field of activity. DONALD WHINNEM Another athletic member of the Whinnem clan! “Red,” with his hair which needs no description, his good physique, and cheerfulness presented a familiar figure in Weaver’s halls. Intelligent and artistically inclined, he seems des¬ tined for a brilliant art career. Sports of all kinds and cartooning occupy his leisure hours. Basketball; Golf; Track. SELMA WHITE Fortunately, Selma has been gifted with a beautiful alto voice and has justly proved it by her activity in the choir and Girls’ Glee Club. Her ability to amuse one by her spontaneous dramatic sketches was also greatly appreci¬ ated. She might impress one as having a reserved and serious countenance, but when amongst friends — well, you can guess! Choir; French Club; Glee Club; Girls’ League. RICHARD WHITFORD Sports, whether it be basketball, baseball, or soccer, all play an im¬ portant role in this versatile lad’s program. Coming all the way from Minnesota to Weaver in his senior year, Dick” quickly adapted himself and with his un¬ erring manner and unassuming air soon became a well-known figure about these halls. We never rea¬ lized what an early bird he was until he revealed his profession— that of a milkman. More power to you, Dick”! ROBERT WHITSITT For a newcomer Bob” has surely established himself well at Weaver. Very quiet and serious, he pursued his studies vigorously and spends his spare time with varied hobbies among which are tennis, art work, and stamp col¬ lecting. We all envy him his self- possession and ability at im¬ promptu speeches, and we know Bob” will be a success wherever he goes. Art-Crafts Club. ELIZABETH WICKS Her voice was ever gentle, soft, and low” might well have been written about Betty.” She is known also for a happy, carefree disposition and a cheery laugh. The stars predict success in the business world, and her records and honors in stenography and typing seem to indicate she is well on her way of fulfilling her destiny. Girls’ Business Club; Girls’ League; Honor Society; Portal Business Board, Secretary. PEARL WIDEM Pussy’s” varied interests, which include collecting dolls, dancing, and scavenger hunts, point to a very varied character. One mo¬ ment she can be in dead earnest reciting a long tirade in class, and the next — puff! — off she goes on a giggling jaunt. Nevertheless, it all adds to her fine personality and knack for making others enjoy themselves in her company. Chemistry Club; Girls’ League; C. H. L. S.; Lookout Editorial Board; Girls’ Sports. IDA WIENER Iggy ” held the center of a group of girls who led in school spirit and social activities. Her enthusi¬ asm and radiant personality proved the spark needed to start the wheels of action. She also con¬ stitutes the center of a group of boys at dances or gatherings and one could usually hear her laugh fa cross between a giggle and a gurgle) arising from their midst. Girls’ League; Lookout Business Board, Manager. HELEN WILLISTON Two teaspoonfuls of athletic abil¬ ity; two ounces of individuality; an ounce or two of persistence; and a dash of brilliance; add leader¬ ship to taste; ice, shake well; add cherry and serve in a slender glass. What is it? It is an All-American girl, Helen Williston. With her achievement of athletic honors and position of unequalled popularity, what more could be asked of a Weaverite? Girls’ League; Girls’ Leaders’ Corps, President; Girls’ Sports. RUTH WINOGRAD It is said that all women are everlasting talkers, and Rudy” proved no exception to this rule! Especially in the geology and astronomy classes did Ruth exhibit her gift of gab.” However, she was thoroughly enjoyable com¬ pany and according to various re¬ ports exhibited nimble feet on many dancing floors.

SOLOMON WOLLMAN KENNETH YUDOWITCH Ken’’ — the most versatile lad in the class! Being both an intel¬ lectual and a bit of an athlete, he edited “The Lookout” very ca¬ pably, held office in a number of clubs, and was a member of sev¬ eral athletic squads. “Kens’’ dramatic renditions of German translations were a great delight to that tiny class of Deutsch stu¬ dents in Room 10. Chemistry Club; German Club, Vice-President; Junior Usher; The Lookout, Editor-in-chief; Quill and Scroll; Cross Country; Football Squad; Inkspot, Editor; Prophet. “Sol ' ' was the possessor of a magnificent physique and a hearty, rather boisterous, laugh. That sly twinkle in his eye usually fore¬ shadowed a bit of mischief, for every now and then that uncon¬ trollable urge for practical joking got the best of him. Don’t say we didn’t warn you! Football Squad. IDA YUSH Ida’s whole personality is polished with meekness, and it is this quality that won her the re¬ spect of her classmates. She dis¬ tinguished herself not only as a hard worker and an earnest stu¬ dent, bu t also as an athlete of ability on the girls ' soccer and baseball fields. In her gentleness of manner, we find a strength “as the strength of ten.” Girls’ League; Girls’ Sports. MARY YACOBUCCI This vivacious “black-eyed Susan ' s” gay, bewitching smile and blithe ways quite belie her very serious ambition of becoming a teacher! Versatility might also be called one of her charms because another of her fortes is hiking, in addition to religiously keeping his¬ tory scrap books, and reading. Honor Society. LEONARD ZAGORSKY Ask “Babe” about a certain book, and to be sure, he has read it. Every day he could be seen lounging comfortably in the li¬ brary, completely absorbed in the latest novel. If he can be judged by his football and track records, his high hopes of becoming a Physical Instructor will surely be achieved. Football; Track. MIRIAM YOUNG Perhaps “Micky” is best known for her ability in athletics. She has helped 1938 teams roll up their score in soccer, basketball, and baseball; she is another ardent equestrienne. But she also had time to do her homework and make the Honor Roll. Her enthusiasm and good sportsmanship make her a popular member of all groups. Girls’ Sports; Girls’ Leaders’ Corps, Secretary; Portal Board. MARY ZAVARELLA Did you know that raving beau¬ ties like to knit? Can it be that feminine instinct? We often won¬ dered where the attractive and original outfits Mary wears came from. The secret is out! She makes them herself. Think.of it, boys! What a saving on clothing bills! Are you thinking of the future? Many have the idea, for Mary is never seen alone! Girls’ League; Girls’ Sports. GERTRUDE ZDON Everyone who knows Gert” agrees that she is the most likeable sport living. Her ready smile, her keen sense of humor, good fel¬ lowship — all make up for her small stature — 99 pounds of pleas¬ ing personality. When Gert ' ’ was asked why she preferred escorts who usually stood about six feet in their stocking feet, she tartly re¬ plied, Perhaps thev prefer me. Girls League; Girls’ Leaders Corps; Nominating Committee; Honor Society; Matinee Dance Committee. CHRISTINE ZEBEDEO Chris possesses the quiet charm and dignity that remove her from the crowd. Underneath her reserve lies a genuine capacity for friend¬ ship and understanding, and her reserve gives way at times to a real fling.” Ask her! Girls’ Leaders ' Corps; Girls’ League; Girls’ Sports. SARAH ZELIGMAN Here is a girl who seems very mcere in her work and, indeed, that is the only way to accomplish it! An atmosphere of friendliness and good-will follows Sarah wher¬ ever she goes. Although one of the quietest in school, we under¬ stand that she has interests in various clubs outside of school. Sarah takes dancing for recreation and just loves the music of Benny Goodman. Girls’ League. SAMUEL ZIMMERMAN Zimmy took part in most of the athletics our school had to offer, and it must be admitted, he did very well. His work on the baseball and basketball teams was good, but Zimmy’s pass-snar¬ ing ability at the wing position on our football team won him city¬ wide acclaim. Baseball; Basketball; Football; Glee Club; Choir. SOLOMON BURKE Toots, more formally known as Solomon, is not nicknamed with • out cause! Being an accomplished saxophone player, Toots” was tooting his music to a friend via telephone when he was suddenly interrupted by an operator. Whether she complimented him or not, no one knows! At any rate, Toots doesn’t play any more — over the phone at least. MARION GOLD This girl, with plenty of what it takes, warbles her unique ques¬ tions at those who often do not possess the ingenuity to answer. Marion keeps mailmen busy deliv¬ ering letters from admirers of the opposite sex. Take a look at her picture, and you’ll understand why! TO WEAVER ' S ENTERPRISING YOUNG ARTISTS As we thumb through the pages of this 1938 Portal, the decorative contributions of the art students catch our eye. On behalf of the class we wish to commend the Art Department for its splendid work. To the students of this department, without whose hearty co-operation this class book would not be what it is, we extend our most sincere gratitude. Their drawings of school life have presented ideas that just could not be expressed in words. Especially do we appreciate the efforts of the following students: Roger Carney, Corinne Lavine, Julius Lisatinski, Norman Sousa, Patsy Piacente, Donald Whinnem, Sarah Bird, Anne Foster, and Dorothy Leaf. To Miss Marjorie Ingle and Miss Helen Haselton, under whose guiding hands the students worked, we offer our appreciation for their untiring efforts. A vote of thanks is due also to the boys who have aided in the success of the recently inaugurated photography division. They have spent much time and energy in obtaining the candid “shots which provide amusement and a special interest in this year’s Portal. Notable among the boys who deserve special praise for their picture-taking ability are Melvin Webber, Richard Schlomberg, and Norman Glasband. Others who made contribu¬ tions worthy of recognition are Joseph Neiman, Morris Rosenthal, Jack Joseph, and Herbert Spencer. All of the portraits in the album section and many of the other pictures in the book are by Lor- ing Studios. Miss Arline Talcott’s portrait on the dedication page is by Bachrach. W. F. Miller Co. took the pictures of the various boys’ athletic teams.

FOOTBALL Showing promise of a highly successful season. Weaver ' s gridsters swept the field of all opponents meeting little opposition until the final game. Hopes for an unbeaten, untied season were rudely shattered by Weaver’s only loss to our arch rival, Hartford High. Nevertheless, we may well be proud of the team’s record and heartily commend the players for a truly remarkable showing. 1 Oct. 1 —Weaver 13, West Hartford 0. Oct. 9—Weaver 14, West Haven 0.

After a disastrous start, the team came back in temporary spurts throughout the season. The boys displayed plenty of fight and courage in coming from behind repeatedly to win or threaten the lead. They were a well-balanced array, the high scorers being Fazio and Slitt who were ably aided by the defense work of Cohen, Duval, Black, McCullough, Smith, and the Sidorik brothers.

POST SEASON —NEW HAVEN Weaver took the first step towards qualifying for the class “A” tourna¬ ment by gaining a slim victory over the famed New Haven Hillhouse 28-27. Against Naugatuck, however, the Green and White ran aground 33-26 and all further tournament hopes died. [89] SWIMMING TEAM Left to Right — Mr. Burke, Meltzer, Le Houllier, Grody, Glasband, P.

TENNIS Showing expert control and great reserve, the Tennis Team stepped into its schedule and easily swept its first opponents from the courts. Seldom has such power been seen on the Weaver team or the coveted positions on the squad been fought over so hotly. With a really good team on his hands. Mr. Carrier is looking forward to a highly promising season.

TRACK A great number of promising “rookies”, bolstered by such veterans as Sweeney, Sidorik, Patterson, Rosen, Whalen, and Wassell, gave promise of a highly successful season for the Green and White. Rarely has such an abundance of material turned out for a track season. Faced by a tough schedule, the boys calmly brought themselves to top form and have succeeded in showing impressive records.

[91] BASEBALL SEASON The 1938 Weaver aggregation shows more promise of success than the teams of recent years. With fine pitching talent, aided by capable work at the plate, they give every sign of continuing undefeated throughout the sea¬ son. Their fighting spirit evidenced itself during the West Hartford game, in which they came from behind in the ninth inning to score five runs and win the contest 5-4. As a goodly number of the players are Juniors, next year’s prospects look particularly rosy. Keep up the good work, team!

Although Weaver has no interscholastic sports for girls, the class of 1938 has shown a keen and continuous enthusiasm for all athletics since the fresh¬ man year. Because soccer was introduced their first year, the girls of ’38 considered it rightfully their own game and early displayed much skill by pass¬ ing through the first soccer season without losing a single game. But, unlike other classes, the interest did not wane as the class approached the dignity of their senior year. In basketball, soccer, and volleyball, 1938 always came out on top! SOCCER Miss Wakefield was more than pleased when a group of nearly forty Amazons, answering her call for practice in 1937, trotted onto the Soccer Field. As was expected, the interclass tournament was won by the senior team, but not without stiff opposition from the energetic sophomores. Spectators were never lacking on the side-lines, and not a little comical interest was created when some players took a horizontal position on terra firma. BASKETBALL Seasoned by three years of practice together, the seniors easily walked off with the championship which they had also won three times previously. Theirs is the truly expert team; with Helen Williston’s and Molly Toro’s beautiful passing down the court and “Liz” Borichewsky’s outstanding guard¬ ing, the sextet was practically invincible. [93] GIRLS’ LEADERS’ C ORPS Left to Right, First Row — Mascolo, Anderson, Young, Williston, Norman, Roberts, Bergstrom, Hogan. Second Row — Borichewsky, Harger, Samuels, Smith, J. Mackin, Booma, L. Mackin, Bonadies, Mainelli. Third Row —Phillips, Zdon, Melley, Markowitz, Robinson, Morris, Swicker, Seymour. VOLLEYBALL This last year, volleyball was first introduced and its enthusiastic accept¬ ance undoubtedly guarantees its permanent retention as a major sport for girls. Here, too, the Seniors won the championship, the same faithful players — Janet Morris, Helen Samuels, and Gertrude Zdon — upholding the honor of the class. In the sophomore aggregation such players as Esther Martino and Dorothy Cicone provided stiff competition and assure a fast and high- scoring group that will undoubtedly shine in the future. SOFTBALL Batter up! Three strikes — you’re out! Although girls’ softball is often considered a farce, the senior teams have shown that girls can play a man- sized game. TENNIS The new pyramid tournament, introduced this year, has proved very suc¬ cessful, and this spring has revealed such rising interest and enthusiasm that it has been necessary to reserve six courts daily at Keney Park. [94] TRACK Every year a girls’ track meet is promoted and executed by the Girls’ Leaders’ Corps. Several members of our Senior Class have broken school records at this annual event: Softball Throw —190 feet . Helen Williston Soccer Kick — 115 feet, 3 inches Molly Toro The honorary varsity teams, composed of outstanding players from the three class teams, are as follows: SOCCER CF — Helen Williston RI — Sylvia Greenbaum RO — Jane St. Pierre LI —Dorothy Robinson LO — Gertrude Zdon CH — Molly Toro RH — Miriam Young LH — Elizabeth Borichewsky RF — Mary Bergstorm LF — Janet Morris G — Charlotte Greenberg VOLLEYBALL Helen Williston Elizabeth Borichewsky Miriam Young Dorothy Robinson Mary Greenwood Pearl Hurwitz Frances Cohen Mary Costello Anne Deleckta Arlene Seymour Charlotte Greenberg Gertrude Zdon BASKETBALL Forward: Helen Williston Molly Toro Dorothy Robinson Guard: Elizabeth Borichewsky Eileen Melly Mary Bergstrom [95] CLUBS ART-CRAFTS CLUB Faculty Adviser — Miss H.

After gathering data from local printers as to the expenses involved, he reported his findings to Mr. Burke. The measure was, however, vetoed for the time being, due to the financial risk. Late in the fall of the same year further impetus was given to the idea. Editor-in-chief of The Lookout at the time, “Ken’ was invited to a recep¬ tion given in the honor of Robert Frost, noted poet, at the West Hartford home of Mrs. Russell Johnson. There Mr. Frost graciously autographed a book of his for the Weaver library — with the stipulation that Weaver have a literary publication in the very near future. Miss Taft of the English department assumed the direction of the aspir¬ ing literati, and the group conducted a contest for a suitable name. Finally the suggestion submitted by Joseph Neiman won approval, and the maga¬ zine appeared under the name of The Inkspot. The reception accorded the first issue hints of a happy future for this type of magazine — one which our school certainly should have. The Portal wishes it a long and successful life!

HISTORY OF THE LOOKOUT In the first years of Weaver’s existence, the students merely had a de¬ partment in the Hartford Public High School Owlet. Nineteen twenty-five was the year in which the first Lookout appeared with Manuel Glass as its editor. The faculty adviser of the editorial board at the time was Mr. Hoyt. Succeeding him in the position have been Mr. Van Schaack, Mr. Dooey, Mr. Larrabee, and Miss O’Hara. The business board counselor from the out¬ set has been Mr. Stanley. The first few issues of The Lookout were small three-column papers with no advertisements at all. Progress was rapid however, and soon the publi¬ cation blossomed out into a four and later a five column affair with quite a few sponsors helping to defray costs. During this early stage, pictures se¬ cured from local newspapers were often used and occasionally an “extra” would go to press — both practices that have been discontinued. The Lookout suffered somewhat during the drab business years im¬ mediately after 1929 and was forced to become smaller because of fewer advertisements and high printing costs. In the past several years of re¬ construction, the paper has again been enlarged. The experimentation of The Lookout board with a new type of headline shows the progressive, enthusiastic attitude of the staff. The increased in¬ terest on the part of the student body seems to foretell a long and prosperous life for Weaver’s official organ.

PRINCE LISATINSKI sat in the little SODERBERG on a plush DAVENPORT LAPPEN his SHERRY. “This is CHILDS’ play,’’ he shouted. “BRYNGA me another GLASS-MAN and FULLER up.’ Just then the DORMAN ushered in a YOUNG handsome BARON, ac¬ companied by his BARANOWSKI who resembled somewhat the goddess DIANA. She rushed to the PRINCE and cried, “DARLING.” His face flushed a delicate GOLDENBLOOME, but FEIGHN-ing displeasure he spoke gruffly to the BARON. “My GOOD-MAN, I am at a total SCHLOSS for WERBA’s. What LUCK-MAN! ZDON and DRAGER over here.” Soon they were engaged in a LIGHT conversation concerning the new JONES family picture, when suddenly from UNGAR the BOOTH table emerged the MANN of the BARANOWSKI’s dream — the KNIGHT of the SILVER Garter. The BARON, a BRIGHT-MAN for his years, recog¬ nized their love as the real McCOY, but he muttered to himself — “I’ll not be left holding the SACK”, and he SAVAGE-ly gave him the BIRD. At this the gallant KNIGHT RANDALL the way home, followed by two KATZ, one BLACK and one WHITE. As they were hungry, he fed them some hot WEINER’s and dry SCHWEIBISH to chew on. They ABEL-ly did away with the stuff. Back in the SODERBERG, the two sat. “NEIDITZ drawing near. We OSTER go for a CANTOR in the PARKS,” she said. Agreeing he speedily called for his BUTLER and instructed him to turn the WICKS down low, to make the ROUNDS every hour and see that all goes WELLS, and away they rode over HILLS and dale as FAUST as the SCHWIND. “LAJOIE of living,” the BARON quoted as he munched a MACKIN-tosh apple. [ 121 ] An old FORD passed them blowing its HORN loudly. The horses reared and ran so FASI couldn’t stop them, and they flew into a deep dark forest. All was quiet. A BIRD CARROLL-ed, a pine COHEN dropped on BARON’s head, and a mis-GEETER bit him on his bald spot. The BARON slipped while he was dismounting and fell on his WHITSITT. Picking himself up, gingerly he walked up to the nearest HOUSE. In the garden some HUBBARD squashes were growing, and on the POLES some string beans were CLIMAN. He knocked on the door. Someone called, “KAMINS.” It turned out to be the home of the QUINNs who are very BASCH-ful and perfect STICKLORs for appear¬ ances. The BARON removed his TOPPER and remarked what a beautiful APREA day it was. “Yes,” she replied, “the WEBBER is FINE.” Since one of the horses was lame, she sent him to the village SMITH ' s and also instructed the errand boy to go to the FICHMAN’s store for some fresh BASS. Inside the BARON and his BARANOWSKI were arguing. “Don ' t be a WELCH-er; get WEISS to yourself,’’ spoke the husband. “HOAR you to say that?” she cried. GROSS-ly insulted BURKE-cause he was certainly RUBIN it in. Thoroughly UNGAR-ed, she whispered, “NORMAN can talk like that to me; DEBATTISTA thing,” and picking up Junior’s baseball bat FLAYed him with her weapons and gave him a good WHALEN. At HUROWITZ end the hostess tried to stop the grand MELLEY which followed, but to no avail; they wouldn’t YUSH up. [ 122 ] The BARON was so surprised he nearly fell down and went BOOMA. “I’ll LERNER,” he avengefully vowed. “Get the GELLIN the HOUSE!” he shouted. “HOGAN go HOMAR?” she answered. “You SCHMEL as a fighter,” and giving him a LONG look which would MELTZER ice, she stalked haughtily off. But peace was restored and Mrs. Dione in celebration of the event got out her SILVER dishes which she had STOLTZ from a store and proudly displayed her WARE to the guests. “Great SCOTT,” ejaculated the honest but poor BARON. “You don’t SHEA!” “SHOOR and be gorry, I did,” she replied. “LIANDLER with care,” warned the BARANOWSKI. “She might PILVER your JEANs and find your BRAND new GOLD bar pin which the PRINCE has just LANZA to you.’’ “Don’t be a MORAN,’’ he hissed scornfully. But while serving the BARON his MIELE of BACON and eggs (which, incidentally, she BURNS horribly) Mrs. Dione cleverly asked him his NASHNER-ality and unobserved slyly TUCK-ed her hand into his pocket and WIDEM five fingers extracted all his money, etc., in one fell swoop. The BARON, unaware of that incident, his face ALBRECHT and ROSE-y cheeked ROSEN suggested a toast which was the KAITZ “me-ow.’ “The HARGER you work the more you GAEHNER and raising the SILVERSTEIN to his lips he PORITZ down. Then they left the HOUSE, hopped into their GLIDER, and flew home. [ 123 ] “THE BIG BROADCAST” Tonight’s Program — 1950 6:00 WCCC Tinkling the Keys: Morty Fichman. WNRA Zimmy and Ronny.

A bored member: Do I have to stay today, Grace? Well, O. K. then, what ' s up? — Grace — My hair, it’s not raining out today — Park, there’s work to be done, infant.” The mammoth hulk collapses into the nearest chair. Some ambitious author-to-be suggests that write-ups be assigned, and when, in a stentorian voice, someone yells for quiet, there is less noise—As the list is read, here and there a strident voice clamors for his or her favorite.— it just goes to show that you have to be a football hero. Vivian Lajoie rescues our man-about-townish treasurer from the hands of a guileless miss and pro¬ ceeds to rate him up on paper, — she knew him when! Comprenez-vous? •—- Herb Pivnick (P. for president) gallantly does or dies for you deah, deah, reader, and we do mean you (with apologies to W. Winchell). Flo Beresky, she of the burnished tresses — we mean auburn hair, not burned hair — sweetly, oh so sweetly, volunteers to do the dirty work for one of Fred Stone’s boys, maybe we shouldn’t tell you Lew’s name, so we won’t. Muriel Prince subsides for a moment to shriek, I’ll take him!” We don’t blame her a bit, for these Cohens have got what it takes. (What does it take?) Then Abe” Homar smugly condescends to do his little bit for his Alma Mammy by reck¬ lessly throwing caution to the winds, that doesn’t mean you, you big blow, and writing sumpin’ that is sumpin’, even if we did have to rewrite it, darn it all (Mr. Larrabee just modified that last explosive). Anne Welch dons her goggles, (don’t we all?) and absent-mindedly dips her pencil into the ink bottle, as she records the last words of her epic, and gasps, Whoopee, that’s done. Ed” Aprea is shattered from his cool, calm and collected attitude by the announcement of a fetching bit of pulchritude’s name, and he efficiently proceeds to put her charm on paper.-That last dash is time slipping by, you cute little (?) reader. After finishing an absorbing and intriguing [ 128 ] interview with a faculty adviser, and getting the best of IT, Jeanette Brynga strolls nonchalantly into that sanctum of sanctums, (Room 37) completely unaware of her slight (?) tardiness, and coolly disregarding ye editor’s frantic demands for that article on “Why Girls Wear Lipstick ”, which incidentally we never received, but were told in no uncertain terms. Interested, boys? — it won’t do you any good. “Willy” Weidl, the only blond Adonis in our midst, chews the rag with hearty, wholesome Sarah Ritvo and between them they get out a masterpiece of — well, call it gossip — “Sonny” Cohen trucks around offering to give ten easy lessons, free, to the highest bidder, while “Micky” (Miriam to the adults) Young startles everyone out of last week’s sleep, which none of them got, and off they go again, the whole blooming caboodle of them trucking and stuff. Ah me, the life of an author! Our redeeming intelligent members, Mary Lynch and “Bob” Rosenthal, are over in a corner collaborating and racking their brains, (such things do exist, even in Weaverites) over the summary of the parade of events that you sophisticated seniors did as foolish freshmen, stupid sophs, and juvenile juniors. (Please, please, note the alliteration.) Then comes the prize boner of the day. “Ed” Carroll, that taciturn, curly-headed racket slinger (slang for tennis player) dazedly inquires what street Freshman Alley crosses. We wonder if it could be GREENfield Street, “Ed”? (At this time we will not lower ourselves to make a puny pun about Batterson Field.) Precise Muriel Swicker is off in another corner with “Butch” Tulin busily comparing notes with him on, of all things. Sports! — Meanwhile, the harrassed Editor, (Miss Booma to you) wanders about tying up loose ends of things and stuff , and trying her darnedest to think of a synonym for idiosyncrasies. However, even an editor can be at a loss for words, so she decides to do her good deed for the day by dis¬ missing the overworked, underpaid members of the Poortal Bored, and turns her inspired countenance the other way only to discover alas, that she has been deserted by her staff, her adviser, just as we are being deserted by you, deah, deah, reader, or did we say that before?

Lulubelle Gaehner “Here eyes punctuate everything she says.” Alex Diachenko Example of the day when men were men. Helen Williston How to demonstrate in a Calisthenics Drill. “Dot” Norman A superb — well just superb.

His originality was very well known; he was the only student who thought he rated. We suggest that she wear green because that’s the color of arsenic. He was behind the door when the brains were passed out. She’s red-headed and lives up to tradition. Saccharine has nothing on her; they’re both just false sweetness. He was just a pugilist at heart, “poke her face.” She reminds me of Sir Walter Scott — always keeping the stags at bay. Somebody should tell him that a crease in the pants is worth two in the hat. The peak of her ambition was to make the Scoop. He belongs in Chicago — beefing is his specialty. She’s not mercenary but if you haven’t got dough, she won ' t go. His dating philosophy was “It’s a good time if her don’ts weaken. She reminds us of a night in London — always lost in a fog. He’s just a great, big, me-man. She was the California Bungalow type — all modern improvements and no heat. He refused a great deal of money explaining that he was not in an acci¬ dent, but that he was born with that face. H is best subject was mathematics because he liked to play with figures. She was always pluckered out. He wants to be sure that he’ll be a success in his chosen field of mountain climbing and so he practices in the dark on Avon mountain. She wants to be alone and she always is.
