ELIZABETH ABRAMSON The best things usually appear in the smallest packages. That runs true to form in this case, for Betty,” one of the smallest girls in the class of 1939, is chock-full of surprises. Being rather happy- go-lucky, this dark-haired little lass almost always did her study¬ ing at the last minute. Elizabeth goes after what she wants, and usually has a sw r ell time getting it. Girls’ League. RICHARD ADAMS Rockland’s loss was our gain when Dick” entered Weaver early in his high school career. H is effervescent spirit has livened many a classroom. Although short in stature, he is big in mind. Dick’s” coming from out of town failed to hinder him from winning many loyal friends who will miss him when he returns to his native state of Maine. Chemistry Club. SEYMOUR ADOFF Seymour, the quiet type of boy, went about his work in a very dili¬ gent manner. He took all his work rather seriously, and because of this he received a great deal of good from his subjects. Interested in photography and the building of motors, he plans to attend Trade School, where he will con¬ tinue to study about motors, and become a mechanic. There is no doubt in our minds but that he will make a good one. Track Squad; Camera Club. RAYMOND AHERN If you seek a companion who is extremely full of life and who likes to clown, Hinky” is the boy to look for. He does not spend a dull moment from morn till night. Raymond is a classy dancer who spends many nights a week at Capital Park. In the winter, ice- skating and other sports take up most of his time. He is the type of fellow who makes a classroom interesting. DOROTHY ALLEN Dot” is the girl whose win¬ ning personality and helping hand have won her many friends. She was always somewhat quiet, but those who know her well have found a gold mine of a friendship. Dot” is going into the business world after graduation. We ' ll wager she ' ll be a success. Girls’ League. JOHN AMBRUSO In a school, you will always find boys who are serious and boys who are jolly. Johnnie” certainly belongs to this latter group. No matter what the situation, he al¬ ways managed to find the bright side. Although at times he cre¬ ated a little more noise than was necessary, teachers who had him as a pupil enjoyed seeing his big round” smile, especially on a dull” Monday! DAGMAR ANDERSON For heaven’s sake, don ' t call her Dagmar, say Paula.” She can swim and is practically a mer¬ maid in the water! Following the commercial field, Paula has all the qualities that will make her a suc¬ cess in the course she pursued at Weaver. To all girls who wish to make a social success of them¬ selves, see Paula,” for she has a marvelous recipe. Girls’ League. HAROLD ANDERSON Name? Harold “Andy” Ander¬ son. General description? Medium in height, age, disposition, hair, and temper. Good looking? Um-m. Ready smile? Perpetual. Hobby? Stamp collecting. Like the girls? You should try to follow him ( not all the time of course) when he steps out. Will he be a success? Watch him. Choir; Glee Club.
