HARTIN and MISS ESTHER PHILLIPS, two members of the faculty whose recognized abilities in their chosen profession and sympathetic understand¬ ing of young people have won them the deepest respect and admiration of the student body, we dedicate this, the 1941 PORTAL. MISS NINA L. HARTIN English Department Toteufoidt The fact that the 1941 Portal has broken away from the traditional and is an experiment with the new is evident almost from the first page. Contrary to the style of Weaver classbooks during the past, this year ' s book has been pur¬ posely written without a worldly theme of any sort. We have conscientiously devoted all our effort to compiling an interesting and complete record of the Class of 1941 during its stay at Weaver. With the institution of a new type of individual sketch, we sincerely hope we meet with your approval. Needless to say, without the expert guidance and patient under¬ standing of Mr. Larrabee and Mr. Cunningham, all our dreams of what we hoped The Portal would be, would have died at birth.—M. S.— MR. BURKE During our high school careers, we have grown to regard the faculty as more than just a body of teachers; rather, we have respected and admired them as persevering scholars and true friends. No one, however, merits this admiration and respect more than our principal. The reasons for our great pride in him are too numerous to mention, but a few are worthy of attention. Our principal has been tolerant during times when tolerance was at a choice premium; he has always been ready to hear the other side of the story. Through his own devotion to learning instilled in us a desire to develc idual intellectual bents to the fullest possi ibute we can give our principal is to £ d to understand individual pupils, takin s for the future, lending a sympathetic he con¬ stantly attempting to make us men and women. Thi PTThat he is and for all he has done for us, we are truly gr hng we may always call him our friend, we reluctantly bid M m rell. o tk ' $ t tn V° V 0 V X V?

Eliot Larrabee Manager —John Moreno Faculty Adviser —Robert P. Cunningham MISS FAITH TALCOTT For an adult to maintain a youthful spirit is remarkable, but for an adult unceasingly to devote time and effort solely in the interests of young people — that is truly noteworthy. Such qualities are, we say with pride, evident in Miss Faith Talcott. She has aided all Weaver girls in becoming dignified and refined young women, through her being the guiding factor in the Girls ' League. Her mani¬ fold activities are by no means limited to the Girls ' League, however, since she acts as adviser to the Matinee Dance Committee and is consulted by numerous groups on countless occasions. Returning to her personality, we find a woman who is intensely interested in whatever problems a student may have, a woman who advises tactfully and rationally, and a woman who is unselfish and altruistic, her thoughts being only for the welfare of Weaver High School and its inhabitants. Miss Talcott represents the finest ideals for which we may strive. Although we leave Weaver, we shall never forget her, for she was a true friend. 12 From the top, left to right, reading down: Miss Phillips—a study in reflection . . .

With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land, And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there. And you — O you, who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return, — Think of him faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here; Think of him still as the same, I say: He is not dead — he is just away! .— James Whitcomb Riley Office Staff Agnes E.

Football Weaver ' s 1940 cleated warriors participated in a successful season, and as the final whistle blew, the Green had been victorious in four games, greatly overbalancing their one loss and two scoreless ties. This one defeat, however, was enough to take away the coveted city title which the Stonemen had earned for the two previous years. As the season opened, it appeared that the football aspirants were untested to such a degree that they were completely an unknown quantity. On Captain Bud O ' Connor ' s shoul¬ ders was placed the hard task of converting these rookies into seasoned veterans, and largely through his fine quarterbacking, another powerful Green array was developed. The outstanding men on the team, besides Captain O ' Connor, were Walter Daley and Morris Resnick, whose savage defensive and offensive play brought much grief to the opposition. The backfield con¬ sisted of O ' Connor, Christino, Yellin, and Barlow; the ends were Hurley and Resnick, and the line, Michelson, Daley, Caplan, Green, and Passaro. This compact eleven finished the season in a blaze of glory by winning the annual Turkey Day encounter with our great rival, Hartford Public. Incidentally, this is the third straight year that the Blue and White has tasted defeat at the hands of the Stonemen. 91 SEPTEMBER 28. WEAVER 0, WEST HARTFORD 0 Opening the season on a warm clear day, Weaver ' s untested eleven could do no better than gain a scoreless tie with a far superior Hall High array. It was a contest marred by sloppy playing on both sides, and if it were not for splen¬ did goal-line stands by the Green line, the outcome might have been far more disastrous for the Northenders. O ' Con¬ nor was the only back who showed real talent, while Resnick and Daley performed admirably in the line. OCTOBER 4.WEAVER 0, WEST HAVEN 0 Rebounding from a rather disappointing start, the Green warriors really showed the spectators that they were a well-balanced team, and the favored West Haven squad did well to achieve a tie with an inspired Green eleven. It was Weaver ' s offensive play that featured in this contest, yet the admirable line play, when they prevented a second-period West Haven score, should be mentioned. Weaver had advanced the ball to the West Haven three-yard stripe as half-time expired, and again in the third period misfortune prevented a Green score when Hurley grabbed O ' Connor ' s aerial a foot outside of pay dirt. Daley, Hurley, Caplan, and Resnick were outstanding in line play, as was the complete backfield in the offensive phase of the game. OCTOBER 11.WEAVER 20, CHAPMAN TECH. 7 Finally unleashing their pent-up power, Weaver ' s big eleven chalked up the first victory of the season at the expense of a greatly outplayed Chapman Tech. team. The Green scored twice in the first period and once in the third to gain the victory. The visitors ' only threat was a second quarter score. Gus Barlow was the outstanding back in this contest, and his forty-yard touchdown sprint in the first quarter was the high point of the game. O ' Con¬ nor, as usual, was the main link in the chain, and the whole Green line played very well from a defensive standpoint. 92 OCTOBER 18 WEAVER 21, EAST HARTFORD 14 In a thrilling contest that seesawed from one eleven to the other, Weaver finally capitalized on the breaks to triumph over a scrappy East Hartford eleven. Hurley ' s receiving of a Green aerial in the opening period accounted for Weaver ' s first touchdown, and Caplan ' s third period recovery of a blocked kick chalked up the second score. However, East Hartford retaliated both times and pushed the ball across in the second and fourth quarters, evening the score at 14-14. With five minutes remaining, however, the Green took ad¬ vantage of a poor East Hartford kick, and the third touchdown drive was cli¬ maxed when O ' Connor lugged the pigskin over for the deciding points. O ' Con¬ nor was again the backfield star, and Caplan, Resnick, Green, and Hurley excelled in the line. OCTOBER 25 ...... WEAVER 13, MANCHESTER 0 Again a gallant Green array made use of their opponents ' bad breaks to down Manchester, 13-0. The entire line was the important factor in this vic¬ tory, and it was O ' Connor ' s two touchdowns, one in the first and one in the last quarter, that made the triumph possible. Daley was the shining light in the line, his block of a Manchester punt setting up Weaver ' s first score and his jarring tackle paving the way for the second Green and White touch¬ down, when he dumped a Manchester player back on his own seven as this player attempted a fourth down pass. Manchester ' s only serious threat came in the second period when they advanced the ball to the Green three just as half-time ended. 93 NOVEMBER 11 WEAVER 13, BULKELEY 22 Weaver ' s over-confidence cost them the city championship and snapped a three-game winning streak, by virtue of a 22-13 defeat at the hands of Bulk- eley. Starting fast, the Green pushed over a quick first period score, but O ' Connor ' s injury, which forced him to leave the game, spelled defeat for the Stonemen. Bulkeley converted this break to the fullest advantage by scoring twice in the second quarter. Starting where they left off in the first half, Bulkeley scored again in the third period. For good measure, they swelled their total by a neatly executed field goal. The Green eleven quickly came to life at this point, and three long passes accounted for a fourth period touch¬ down. As this was the only score that Weaver was able to muster, the Stone- men su ' fered their one and only setback of the 1940 season. NOVEMBER 27.WEAVER 12, HARTFORD 6 The annual Thanksgiving Day contest saw big ' ' Bull Yellin lead a spirit¬ ed Green array to their fourth and final victory of the 1940 season. Hartford made the first threat, and after being repulsed three times in the first period by superb goal-line play, they were able to push over a second period touch¬ down. The Green bounced right back in the second half, however, and two passes heaved by O ' Connor to Yellin accounted for the two Weaver touch¬ downs, one in the third and the other in the fourth period. Yellin played a great defensive and offensive game in the backfield, as did Caplan, Daley, and Michelson in the line. Even though he was hampered by his first period injury, O ' Connor was outstanding, and special mention should be given him because of the excellent leadership he always showed on the football field. He rightly deserves much of the credit for Weaver ' s successful 1940 season. The team elected Yellin to captain the 1941 Weaver aggregation. 94 Front row, trom left to right: DiBella, Register, Rosenthal, Seaman, Gorman, Montgomery, S. Kimenker, Mr. Burke.

Overcoming the stiff competition offered by Middletown, Manchester, and New Britain, the cross country team was de¬ feated only once, this setback being at the hands of a powerful Hartford Public squad. The Gipsonmen finished second and third respectively, in state meets held at the University of Con¬ necticut and at Wesleyan University. At Boston they placed eighth in the New England Interscholastic Meet. Seaman, whose spectacular running greatly inspired the team, was ably assisted by DiBella, Rosenthal, Gorman, and Register. Each of these men received major awards. The outstanding man, besides Seaman, was Tony DiBella, a sophomore. He was among the first five Green men to finish in every run, except the H.P.H.S. meet, and he was unanimously elected captain of the 1941 team. Seated, left to right: Tudan, Christino, Dart, Bossi, Register, Hurley, McGann, Silverstein, Quinn. Standing: Mr. Stone, Fisher, Dawkins, Herman, Mazzucchi, Bradley, Deubel, Yellin, Mr. Burke. Basketball Weaver ' s 1940-41 hoopsters, although not one of Mr. Stone ' s outstanding quintets, played fairly good ball, garnering nine wins, while losing seven encounters. Captain Register ' s ineligibility due to age, coming towards the beginning of the season, caused Coach Stone many headaches, yet he rapidly developed a team that upset all predictions. Two of fheir greatest surprise victories were the stunning defeat they dealt Hartford in the first encounter, and the trouncing they gave Hall in the second meeting of these two teams. Getting off to a fast start, the Green won two straight before bowing to Bristol. After dropping their next encounter to Bulkeley, the Stonemen scored a sur¬ prise victory over Hartford, and overcame New Britain and Manchester before losing a second time to an undefeated Bristol array, which later won the New England title. Before the Weaver team could get on their feet, they lost two more; however they overcame East Hartford before being defeated by Bulke¬ ley. The Green ' s last four games saw them win three to wind up the season in fine style, their defeat being delivered by Hartford after a thrilling overtime battle. Although the North Enders did not come near winning the city cham¬ pionship, they were one of the representatives from Hartford in the State Tournament. Before they were eliminated, the Stonemen scored another up¬ set; this time paced by Christino ' s nineteen points, they whipped New Haven Commercial. In fact, Weaver was Hartford ' s only hope after the other three Greater Hartford fives had been eliminated in the first round. After Register ' s early ineligibility, Doc Hurley took over the reins as captain, and his defensive work at center, combined with numerous scoring 96 sprees, helped the Weaver five no end. Christino and Barlow were the high scorers among the forwards, and they were assisted by Bossi and Silverstein. Dart and Mazzucchi completed the starting five at guard, and had as under¬ studies Yellin, McGann, and Deubel.

Yet they were far from being that when you consider that they showed well in every meet and gave their opponents much competition before each contest came to a close. Coach Gipson didn ' t have too many candidates to pick a team from; nevertheless he molded the swimming squad into fine shape before the season ended. The Green and White participated in only four meets, and although they were on the short end of the score each time, they fought valiantly before they were beaten. A strong H. P. H. S. junior varsity inflicted the first defeat upon the Weaver mermen, and Meriden, Bristol, and Manchester, in that order, followed victoriously. The Green and White put up their best fight against Bristol, being nosed out by only a few points. Undoubtedly Brown, breast stroke, and Gladstein, free style, were the two best swimmers. The rest of fhe team included Goldberg, McNally, and Dohm, free style; Stoltz and Clementino, breast stroke; and Herman and De Lucco, back stroke. To climax the season, both Brown and Gladstein repre¬ sented Weaver in the Interscholastic meet at Yale University on March 22. SUMMARY H. P. H. S.

BASEBALL Weaver ' s 1941 baseball team gives the pre-season impression that it will be right in the heat of the city race. If the pitching of the Green balances the early hitting power shown by the entire team, the Stonemen will be the team to beat. With Hurley at first, Levitt at short, Macaluso at third, Yellin, McGann, and Mazzucchi in the outfield, Christino pitching and O ' Connor behind the plate as holdovers, Weaver has a wealth of talent. Their only uncertain spot is at second, and Coach Stone might have to juggle his entire lineup to fill this gap. Although Christino will bear the burden of the pitching chores, the Green and White would be a great deal more powerful with two more good hurlers. 100 Sports TENNIS Coach Carrier ' s tennis team looks like a sure bet to end up the season quite successfully, even though they are faced with a difficult t hirteen game schedule. From last year ' s team, Captain Stein, Herlth, Katz, and Legomsky remain. It is reasonably sure to say that the fifth man will be Levine. TRACK Weaver ' s 1941 track team sees only a few men returning from last year ' s squad, and unless new talent is uncovered, Weaver will have to exceed expectations to annex a majority of the eight major meets facing them. Remaining from last year are Seaman, running the mile; Eisenberg, 440; Hurley, the discus and shot put; A. Register, broad jump; and Patterson, half mile and 100 yard dash. These lettermen show much promise. If Coach Gipson can de¬ velop several new prospects, Weaver should be able to present a fair team. 101 Girls’ Sports SOCCER The girls ' successful 1940-1941 athletic season opened in the fall with soccer. The com¬ mittee in charge was headed by Kathleen Nolan, assisted by Anne Callan and Nancy Wil¬ liams. Although the weather was unfavorable this year, the girls ' spirits were not damp¬ ened, and with twenty-one Sophomore candidates reporting, two teams were formed to play against each other, the Greens and the Whites. Betty Harding was the captain of the Greens, and Angela Mascolo led the victorious White team. Seventeen Junior players, captained by Anne Callan, competed against the fourteen Seniors, led by Nancy Williams. The Seniors ' three years experience enabled them to be champions in all sports. In soccer they were undefeated in eight games. The Junior-Senior varsity, composed of the best players of both teams, took the measure of the Sophomore varsity in two out of three games. The seniors on the varsity were: Mary Bagdigian, Ellen Clark, Sylvia Fine, Eleanor Joel, Kathleen Nolan, Jean Roberts, and Nancy Williams. BASKETBALL The basketball season was lengthened this year because of its popularity during pre¬ vious years, and games were played from November through January. Mildred Robinson was chairman of the basketball committee, assisted by Ellen Clark and Geraldine Duffy. Twenty-seven letters were awarded. The Sophomores formed Green and White teams, led by Agnes Azarian and Tina Christino respectively. The Whites were champions, defeating the Greens in four out of five games. The Seniors, headed by Mary Bagdigian, proved too powerful for the Junior squad, captained by Selma Mag, and triumphed in six out of eight contests. The Senior-Junior varsity won two out of three post-season games. Those Seniors on the Senior-Junior varsity were: Forwards: Sylvia Fine, Monica Moran, Nancy Williams; Guards: Mary Bagdigian, Eleanor Joel, Mildred Robinson. 102 BADMINTON Each year the membership of the Badminton Club increases. At the time this article went to press, an elimination tournament was underway, and last year ' s winner, Mary Bagdigian, and Eleanor Joel were favored to emerge victorious. The committee was composed of Mary Bagdigian chairman, Geraldine Duffy, and Mon¬ ica Moran. TABLE TENNIS The Girls ' Leaders ' Corps sponsored its third table tennis tournament this year. It was highly successful, with fifteen Sophomores, fifteen Juniors, and eighteen Seniors playing. The winners were Selma Dubrow and Jean Roberts, who received gold and silver medals respectively. A consolation tournament followed the regular one, and from the sixteen contestants, Florence Lassoff was favored as the winner, to receive a bronze medal. The committee in charge was Jean Roberts chairman, Monica Moran, and Dorothy Biederman. VOLLEYBALL Three of the volleyball teams were especially strong this year, and at our going to press, the Seniors had won five games, the Juniors, one, the Sophomore Greens, three, and the Whites, four. The championship had not yet been settled and the remaining games promised to be real battles. The committee in charge was Kathleen Nolan chairman, Anne Gal¬ lon, and Agnes Murphy. Seniors eligible to be on the var¬ sity included Mary Bagdigian, Ellen Clark, Sylvia Fine, Eleanor Joel, Kath¬ leen Nolan, Jean Roberts, and Nancy Williams. 103 Spring Sports SOFTBALL Softball was expected to be the most popular spring sport th is year. The committee in charge was Eleanor Joel chairman, Kathleen Nolan, and Cynthia MacGrath. The girls looked forward to the game that the varsity team played against the women ' s faculty team. The Senior varsity, based on the Junior year performance, will prob¬ ably be: P—Monica Moran C—Kathleen Nolan FB—Nancy Williams SB—Eleanor Joel TB—Jean Roberts SS—Sylvia Fine and Helen Swayner RF—Agnes Murphy CF—Mary Bagdigian LF—Mildred Robinson TRACK Mary Bagdigian was the chairman, with Eleanor Mayoros and Anne Callan com¬ pleting the committee, that planned the girls ' track meet. They featured the soccerball kick, the basketball distance throw, the softball distance and accuracy throw, the high jump, the standing bar jump, and races. TENNIS During the balmy spring afternoons in Keney, six courts were reserved tor the girls to stage a ladder tournament. The appeal of the park and the game drew a large group of contestants and spectators. 104 Chemistry Club Art-Crafts Club This organization offers to all those inter¬ ested in the science of chemistry, a chance for discussions and experiments. Being a member of this club makes the subject of chemistry doubly interesting. Speakers, mov¬ ies, and numerous visits are both instruc¬ tive and entertaining features of meetings. The group has always been rated highly by both faculty and students. Much of the club ' s success has been made possible through the guidance of its adviser. President .Ellias Rosenthal Vice-President .... Barnett Laschever Secretary .Robert Tucker Treasurer .Martin Fierberg Adviser .... Mr. G. Hapgood Parks Some years ago, the Art-Crafts Club was organized to give those students interested in a deeper understanding of art, an op¬ portunity to find more enjoyment in the many branches of the field. This year ' s most interesting club activity was a trip to the Hartford Art School while the classes there were in progress. Members witnessed cos¬ tume designing, drawing and sculpture classes, and derived much stimulation and knowledge. An exhibition of student work, done as extra-curricular activity without the benefit of instructors ' aid, was viewed by the group, as well as work done for the Index of American Design.

During the year, several mem¬ bers have given illustrated lectures before the club on various aspects of technique, and, at one meeting, a demonstration of the methods used in portrait photography was presented by a student. Among the guest speakers from the world of profes¬ sional photography was Robert Ficks, of the Hartford Courant , who lectured on speed photography. President .David Kinsler Vice-President . . . Seymour Saltzman Secretary .Selma Mag Treasurer .Irving Rock Adviser . . Mr. Frank M.

The club plays a full schedule of matches against other school teams in Hartford and the immediate vicinity, and this year, Wea¬ ver won the city championship. The mem¬ bers have found chess to be a game from which much satisfaction may be derived. President and Treasurer . . Sidney Stein Vice-President .John Fried Secretary .Alex Berman Adviser .Mr. Harold B. Clapp Astronomy Club Under the direction of Mr. Philip H.

Under the ex¬ cellent supervision of Miss Conklin, the club members have enjoyed many varied and instructive meetings, from which they gained a better practical and cultural un¬ derstanding of Latin. An annual banquet, the publication of the Acta Concili , a Latin paper written by club members, to¬ gether with other entertainment, are the basic activities of this organization.

The members of this group, guided by their adviser, plan and organize each meeting around some topic of special interest. During the past year, the club has de¬ bated against the members of other school debating organizations in this city. The club fosters a knowledge of debating and gives elementary training in the art of pub¬ lic speaking. President . Lester Katz Vice-President ....

This year, the president was Nancy Williams; secretary, Mary Bagdigian; and vice-presi¬ dent and treasurer, Eleanor Joel. Commit¬ tees supervise each sport and recommend any advisable changes. The Corps awards small letters for each sport to those girls who meet the require¬ ments. These letters count ten points. The Honor The Weaver Chapter of the National Honor Society offers a goal toward which those who wanted to be in the upper third of their class might strive. This group was not chosen for scholarship alone, but also for citizenship, loyalty, and service shown by them toward the school. A group of student teachers in this society who were members of the winning team in each sport receive 25 points, and those on the varsity, 50 additional units. The girls who have 300 or more points get large W ' s. Each year, the ten girls with the greatest number of points are given white sweaters. Sweaters were won this year by Mary Bagdigian, Eleanor Joel, Kathleen Nolan, Nancy Williams, Sylvia Fine, Mil¬ dred Robinson, Selma Mag, Anne Callan, Miriam Krauskopf, and Jean Roberts. Society eligible to tutor other students needing extra help gave great service to our school. President .Edward Burns Vice-President .... Irene Goodman Secretary .Chavalla Britton Treasurer . . .

This club held an interesting assembly during the year, the boys on stage talking with other members who had sets and were at their homes. Two messages were sent to Connecticut ' s Senators in Washington over the transmitter of one Club Ham from the auditorium. The club enables its members to broaden their knowledge of radio telephony and to become more skill¬ ful through the practice of transmission, and sending and receiving messages in code.

We, the editor and board, express our sincere gratitude to: Mr. Jack Brown of the Hammersmith-Kortmeyer Company, for his pa¬ tience, wealth of ideas, timely co-operation, and prompt services. The Photo-Reflex Studio of G. Fox Company, for its excellent pho¬ tography. Those students in the Art Department, who, under the capable direction of Miss Helen Haselton and Miss Marjorie G. Ingle, have contributed the notable art work found in the Portal, namely: Anthony Diana, Lawrence Douville, Beatrice Echenique, Carol Edgecomb, Irene Goodman, Josephine Hepp, Roger Jeanfaivre, Marion Levy, Agnes Miele, Marie Papillo, Marie Pensiero, Marvin Pollack, Leo Rosen, Angelo Spinelli, Frances Tone, Shirley Tone, Joan Winterbottom, and Louophelia Worthy. Someday, in the distant future, you ' ll come across a pile of musty note¬ books, yearbooks and such, packed away on the bottom shelf of a dilapi¬ dated bookcase in a hidden corner of the attic. We earnestly hope that, as you blow off the dust and turn the pages of the 1941 Portal, memories of three years full of study, good fun, friendships, association with your fellow classmates and older men and women of ability will arise once more. If they do, all our labor will have been amply rewarded.

Clever, aren ' t I? However, not to be completely devoid of any sense the title does suggest a trail, yes, a long and perilous trail, one fraught with danger and hazard, upon which we shall go. You still don’t know what I am driving at but don’t get emotionally upset. I’m getting there. Now, this trail begins— At five minutes past eleven. This is known as “Nickel Time” in Weaver. In five minutes you are going to eat your dinner so you must quickly drop your books, making as much noise as possible, of course, and rummage around until you find a nickel. That is for your bottle of chocolate milk, without which you would soon perish. If you have no nickel, borrow one from the boy across the room, taking care that you disturb the rest of the class at the same time. Then the “Grand March”. The instant the bell rings, nay even sooner than that, you are off like a bullet for the lunchroom. Naturally, you don’t push your fellow students in an effort to reach the food counters. There’s plenty of room for everybody. No, you don’t push, you shove. You are not supposed to cut in on the lines waiting at the counter. But you do it anyhow. Ya gotta eat, don’tcha? Once you get to the counter, don’t by any means look for, expect, or dare to ask for spaghetti. They just don’t have it here. But you must spend more than a nickel. Just because you took out a nickel before doesn’t mean that that’s all you’re going to spend, does it? No. So you finally pick up something that looks tempting. Now, mind you, I said looks tempting. I won’t commit myself any further than that. As you now round the bend and head for the cashier, you stuff anything and everything possible into your shirt, sweater or what have you. It is imperative that you cheat the cashier! Ah, at last you are in the open again. Once past the cashier you must now maneuver yourself to a table where you are sure there’s going to be an empty chair. Of course, there isn’t. Now deposit your food on the table and look for a stool. Did I say deposit? I’m sorry, I meant try to deposit your food on the table. Someone will certainly push you and you will certainly spill something on your clothing which has just come back from the cleaners. Now you get your stool. This is very easy. Just take it. If you get into a fight over it, all the better. You don’t want to lead a dull existence, do you? I didn’t think so. You sit down to eat. That is the most dangerous part of all. You must be careful not to touch a drop of food. Instead, stuff it into paper bags and throw them at your nearest enemy. If you haven ' t any enemies after all this, something has gone wrong. With practice and dogged determination you will eventually become expert in this recondite art, and thus better enjoy your lunch hours. This year’s Honor Roll for Excellence in Lunchroom Marks¬ manship goes to Gladys Flanagan, Hazel Duffy, Irene Goodman, and Chavalla Britton. We deeply deplore the lack of boys’ names on this list, and hope that the males will assert themselves in the future. At this time the bell rings, and you make a mad dash for somewhere. It makes no difference where, so long as it’s mad and it’s a dash. Dash it all! Moral of this story—Live to eat; don’t eat to live. You’ll have more fun.
