At last we may remove our several proboscises from the grindstone and our scapulas from the wheel and present a perfect yearbook. We fully appreciate that no one ' s accom¬ plishments are omitted, no one ' s feelings will be hurt, and no one ' s expectations will be confounded. We know that nothing but praise can possibly mark the Portal ' 43 !—However that may be, we at least have done our best. We have attempted to capture those memories which we will cherish most and to chronicle that way of life of ours for which we are fighting and for which men the world over are dying. Now, blissful in our new-fou nd freedom from write-ups, fea¬ tures, and deadlines, we retire once more into the guiet solitude of our respective padded cells. —A.P.W.— Good candidates for the Signal Corps 6 ' As our country passes through this, her darkest hour, Weaver students and teachers alike have gone forth to succor her, and before 1943 waxes older, many more will also depart from the portals of Weaver to join the various serv¬ ices. This war may be long and its price dear—we realize all too well that many who have answered the call to arms may be sacrificed upon the bloody altar of Mars before this war is won. Already three Weaver graduates have paid for the coming peace with their lives. They were typical of all the men and boys who have given up the happy, well-ordered life which should rightly be theirs, to enter the armed forces. Therefore, in tribute, we, the class of 1943, do dedicate this class book to Thomas J. Glynn Jr., Alex Diachenko, and Frank C. Richardson, as repre- sentatives of all those who, unselfishly and unstintingly, are sacrificing every¬ thing to serve their Country and their God. 7 MR. FRANK H. BURKE Our Principal I do not believe that any student can call to mind the assembly hall with¬ out picturing Mr. Burke on the stage speaking with his unhurried, forceful, accurate wording and his commanding basso profundo . Or can anyone forget his grinning and chuckling good-naturedly upon the completion of his Modern Design cheer, or blushing embarrassedly at certain remarks con¬ cerning a curly-haired, red-headed young man? Nor is it possible to recall the front lobby without seeing the long queue of nervous students, each possessing a call slip scrawled with a queer Greek character, collecting before The Desk ? However, regardless of whether it be a cipher or a commendation slip, no student need expect anything but gen¬ uine, sympathetic interest and temperate justice from his principal. Long after we have left Weaver, we shall all continue to remember Mr. Frank H. Burke as the able, respected, human almus pater of us all, his students. 8 MISS FAITH TALCOTT Our Vice-Principal The Bosses confer! Our soft-spoken, considerate vice-principal who serves as the meditator between the old- fashioned girl and the modern Weaverite . . . the personification of dignity and stateliness . . . her office one of the few rooms in Weaver with a real need for dimout shades (she stayed late!) . . . Faith Talcott should rightfully be the first name in the Weaver service book! 9 WEAVER HIGH SCHOOL Weaver High School presents a striking picture from the southeast side. As one walks along Greenfield Street toward Ridgefield Street, he is inspired by the elevated position of the building. The expansive front lawns, the perfect symmetry of the architecture, and the trim, green shrubs bordering the walks add greatly to the splendor of the building. The open, clean atmosphere surrounding Weaver ' s ten-acre site and the proximity of picturesque Keney Park provide our educa¬ tional institution with a truly inspirational setting. May this snapshot of the gymnasium always remind us of our happy days within the portals of Weaver! 10 THE FACULTY The all-too-familiar strains of Your homework is not in , and Take two demerits have long since been drowned out by the battle cries of Put out that light—this is a blackout! and Ration¬ ing lines form on the left. Yes, the faculty have come mightily to the aid of our total war effort by carrying more than their share of Civilian Defense activities. They offer us knowledge by day; they mete out our gasoline, fuel oil, shoes, clothes, sugar, and processed foods by night. Cheerfully and conscientiously they have fallen in step with the war workers and fighting men of this great nation. Thus we are proud to present Hartford ' s air-raid wardens, Hartford ' s F irst Aiders, Hartford ' s airplane spotters, Hartford ' s rationers—our teachers. 11 CHARLES A. ANDREWS, B.S.

Gradually even before Pearl Harbor, our school life was reflecting the spirit of the times, and slight changes were making their way into the school program. With December 7, 1941 came more rapid changes. The spirit of total war penetrated both the classrooms and the extra-curricular activities of Weaver. With so many students employed part-time and others engaged in numerous community enterprises, our whole club program underwent a drastic revision. Some clubs ceased their work for the duration while others adjusted their efforts to the needs of the time. Gymnastics and sports gained new emphasis; The Victory Corps, the WARS, and other service groups developed rapidly to fill the community ' s calls for service. Social life came to a halt for a while with the blackout and dimout regulations. As we sacrificed many of the traditional school activities, in their stead we substituted an ever increasing devotion to wartime enterprises. With this community and national ef¬ fort has come a sense of pride that we of the Class of ' 43, in some small way, have been helping to win the war and the peace to come. 73 Portal Board Front Row, left to right: Greenwald, Sondik, Walch, Elliott, Rockwell, Doyle.

Cunningham 74 Sports at Weaver — 1942- ' 43 Sports at Weaver during the recent season enjoyed the same hearty and en¬ thusiastic response, from participants and spectators alike, that they have consist¬ ently enjoyed in the past and which has become so typical of Weaver. Despite inevitable distractions occasioned by the war, the sporting blood at Weaver was still able to tingle at the sight of a ball swishing neatly through a hoop, or a fleet- footed halfback outdistancing his oppo¬ nents in a last-minute goalward sprint. Weaver ' s superb eleven and its less spectacular five were cheered with equal fervor. The unrelenting, hard and clean play of Weaver ' s athletes merited the highest praise in victory or defeat. Beneath all the shouting, cheering, and band playing however, a grimmer note was sounded this season: a note that was to swell into the stirring and irresistible call to the colors. Many of the same boys who so valiantly defended Weaver ' s goal line last season will be defending a far greater goal next year; they will be defending Democracy and all that it stands for. When we think of the won- � derful physical and mental qualities of coordination, fighting spirit, and perseverance that our athletes exhibited here at Weaver, we cannot help feeling assured that these same boys will, in like manner, help to smash the Axis lines, and plant the ball of victory behind them. 75 Football Front Row: Calabro, Pappalardo, Herbert, Arnone, Dobrowolsky, S.

To obtain this privi¬ lege one must be active and proficient in all sports, must possess a congenial personality, and must be willing to sacrifice her time to extend her knowledge and interest. In addition she must be elected unanimously by the standing members of the corps. Through the efforts of this organization girls of the school are given the opportunity for extra curricular sport activities. The corps divides itself into committees with each smaller group taking charge of one after-school sport. They hold practice sessions to teach the history, rules, and technique. Eventually during each season a schedule is arranged for competition to enable girls to earn athletic points toward their numerals and sweaters. In addition corps members cheer¬ fully give their study periods to instruct in gym classes. Although few in number, the leaders are definitely indispensable to the Weaver girls ' physical education department. ATHLETIC POINTS Toward the termination of each school year an athletic assembly is called for girls. At this time letters, numerals, medals, and sweaters are awarded to those obtaining the required number of points earned through participation in extra-curricular sports. Two hundred points are needed for class numerals, Keeping Fit! three hundred for a school let¬ ter, and the ten girls accumu¬ lating the highest number of points receive sweaters. Med¬ als are awarded for outstand¬ ing achievement in a single sport such as tennis or ping pong. The girls are as justly proud of their citations as any football hero. The awards also serve as an inspiration to un¬ dergraduate students to take part in after-school sports. 83 Fall Sports PHYSICAL FITNESS As the country was called to arms and men trained to fight, emphasis was placed on physical fitness. As we became spontaneously unified in military spirit, the girls ' gym classes became or¬ ganized as precise military units. Squads and platoons were formed into a company. Each class member was a private; the squad monitors were corporals; the Girls ' Leaders ' Corps, lieutenants; and Miss Stephan became the captain. The first meeting of the class each week was devoted to strenuous calisthenics for developing the muscles of the body. Marching in accepted military fash¬ ion was also taught. On the second class day every piece of apparatus was used as the girls hung from the stall bars, jumped the horses, swung and climbed the ropes in true commando exercises. SOCCER SPEEDBALL COMES TO WEAVER In the past years soccer has always been included in the usual curriculum of girls ' sports, yet even when the game was energetically played, only a few girls participated at one time. However soccer speedball allows the ball to be passed in the air once it has been lifted from the ground. Touchdowns may be made by passing the ball over the goal post to another member of the team, field goals may be kicked, and points scored if the ball is kicked over the goal posts, not necessarily between the posts. These amendments involve more girls and more action plus creating more interest and momentum in the game. Under the direction of Muriel Lowe and Betty Askinas of the Leaders ' Corps a successful extra curricular schedule was maintained with girls from every class reporting Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the soccer season. Modern Dance Class 84 Winter Sports BASKETBALL Edythe Seltzer, Corps member, under the direction of Miss Stephan, organized basketball enthusiasts into a schedule for extra curricular activity. The program was arranged, so that girls might play Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Girls ' rules were used allowing three forwards, three guards, one dribble, and the capture of the ball as soon as it left the shooter ' s hands on a free shot. As the season advanced teams were selected to play each other. A varsity was chosen, and the championship game held. This gave winners the satisfaction of being ' ' Tops, ' ' plus gaining extra athletic points. ICE SKATING Under the guidance of Miss Stephan, ice skating and figure skating classes were con¬ ducted at Keney Park when the weather permitted. These girls mastered the difficult figure eight and learned the fundamentals of dancing on skates. They occasionally adjourned to roll¬ er skating when conditions made it impossible to ice skate. SWIMMING Swimming has often been designated as the most perfect exercise. Through the co¬ operation of the Y. W. C. A. facilities for this sport were extended to the aqua admirers of our fairer sex. These girls were taught the rudiments of swimming and diving, then gradually advanced to do strokes to music and more complicated dives such as the swan, jack knife, and back flip. These were all worked out in rhythmic patterns and figures as performed in pro¬ fessional aquacades. The group was organized by Dorothy Hayes of the Leaders ' Corps, who assisted throughout the schedule with attendance notices and arranged competition for athletic points. MODERN DANCE In an effort to improve the general posture, grace, and health of our girls, modern dance was inaugurated at Weaver High School by Miss Stephan, physical education instructor. This art form expresses concepts of today by using the human body as the medium. Wiseman and Graham techniques were used as a foundation. This knowledge was further developed and employed by expressing the moods of various songs. It proved to be one of the most popular and beneficial activities of the girls ' education department. TABLE TENNIS The rules and techniques of table tennis were taught and practiced during gym classes. Those most interested signed up for the tournament. The semi-finalists were Gloria Basch, Joyce Cieri, Selma DuBrow, and Eleanor Kaufman. From these contestants Selma DuBrow and Gloria Basch emerged victorious. BADMINTON During the spring badminton was played in the gymnasium during classes while archery, soft ball, and jumping went on outdoors. A pupil could select the sport she wished to follow. Badminton was quite popular in every class. A big tournament including all classes is planned for the spring. Finalists and participants will receive athletic points graded to their status when eliminated as is done in other tournaments. 85 Spring Sports TENNIS Any girl, beginner or advanced, in¬ terested in tennis was included in the lad¬ der Tournament. The name of each con¬ testant was placed on a removable rung of a cardboard ladder. She challenged any girl not more than two places ahead of her and the match was played. Ac¬ cording to the outcome the ladder was reorganized. Every challenge had to be answered. The highest eight compete annually for the finals. A course of ten¬ nis is also offered as an accepted gym activity. Girls ' Gym Class GOLF Some girls through their own initiative and desire studied golf. Putting was practiced Mondays and Fridays on the school lawn. Every other week they played at the Keney Golf Course. Helene Moss gave valuable assistance in developing golf at Weaver. BASEBALL Baseball is the All-American game. Its everlasting attraction is traditional with Weaver girls. Softball is taught and played during all spring gym periods, and a large representa¬ tion from all classes respond for after-school games. Classes are mixed to incite more spirit, teams are chosen, and during the entire spring the Girls ' Leaders ' Corps maintains a success¬ ful schedule. ARCHERY Though archery was introduced comparatively recently at Weaver, the accepted twenty- five pound bow that our girls use requires untold energy and the complete coordination of the muscles to manipulate. Weaver ' s best archers were Geraldine Kenny, Josephine DeMeo, Dorothy Ragazzi, Muriel Lowe, and Beatrice Echenique. The group met every Monday in the spring, but the sport was also taught in the classes. It proved a most beneficial sport for exercise. VOLLEY BALL Volleyball is one game that will always be popular. It is active enough to hold the in¬ terest of every girl throughout every game. Keen competition always arises between the senior and sophomore teams. Practice sessions are held; then teams are formed to play against each other. Volleyball is played on Tuesdays and Thursdays during March and April, and always receives enthusiastic support. Broad jumping and running jumping are performed during some gym classes. Three feet seven inches was the record reached by Ruth Mason, Constance Malley, and Dorothy Doyle. 86 The Lookout As each two weeks go by, Weaverites eagerly turn the pages of the illustrious Lookout to find out what ' s what and who ' s who. The adage, The pen is mightier than the sword , cer¬ tainly applies to that column of columns, The Scoop, written by the roving reporter of gab and gossip. On the serious side, The Lookout does a fine job of telling us what is happening at Weaver and what opportunities are being offered us outside of Weaver. Sports, fashions, and editorials provide food for every reading taste. School spirit, at its highest, and pride in our Alma Mater are clearly reflected in the pages of The Lookout.

Suzy was proud to see the flowers she made as a part of the beautiful American Flag. MAY The Honor Society opens its doors to 24 select Juniors. Alas—poor Suzy and Sam-! The Choir and Orchestra give their annual concert. Suzy and Sam attend it, and every¬ thing goes smoothly until afterwards when they quarrel violently over which was the pret¬ tiest piece. Junior Ushers are announced, and although Sam is one of the boys picked that doesn ' t cut any ice with Suzy. She ' s still mad! 93 JUNE Cy Smith is elected to the Editor-in-Chief position on The Lookout. Sam spends all day looking for Cy to congratulate him, and then finds out that he took the day off to go hunting! Sam get summer fever and inveigles a Reception ticket from a Senior. Suzy is persuaded to go with him and protests that she was never mad at him anyway! The real story is that she was too thrilled to say, No . SEPTEMBER, 1942 SENIOR YEAR School again, but now it is Sam Senior and his girl Suzy. Sam, in Senior fashion, informs a believeing Sophomore that Mr. F ox is the sweetest (soft-spoken) person in Weaver. Silly boy! Jeanette Brody, Max Galinsky, and Estelle Meister are chosen as Cy ' s side-kicks for The Lookout . The school is saddened by the deaths during the summer of Arthur Clark and Tina Christino. The school is pleased to hear that Miss Fraser and Miss Goodwin have become WAAC officers during the summer. The Senior girls, including Suzy, play hostess at the get-acquainted Senior-Sophomore parties. OCTOBER Sam is still wondering what happened to the promised loud speaker system at home football games! The system of Lunchroom monitors is inaugurated and Suzy and Sam have the job of picking up the empty milk bottles from their tables. Allan Walch is elected to head the Editorial Board of The Portal and Eugene Elliott selected to head the Business Board. Suzy and Sam spend two weeks being nice to the fellows, and Allan finally rewards them by it mi t � choosing them to be on his board. Sam signs up for soccer in a rash mo¬ ment and spends every morning bruised and battered. He swears that he is never offside, and yet Mr. Parks constantly blows his whistle and hollers, You ' re offside . Weaver starts football season with a bang beating East Hartford. Sam sprains three fingers convincing a Hall rooter that Weaver really won the game, 47-0 The team really looks snappy, and Sam has high hope for a perfect season. Thirty-five Seniors are admitted to the Honor Society, and Gerard Siek is elected president and Betty Summers secretary. Betty casts the one unanimous vote elect¬ ing Mr. Stanley, treasurer! Suzy has an honor table in the lunch¬ room and lords it over Sam whose table isn ' t honorable. Cheerleaders are chosen with Betty Rockwell as head Cheerleader. Suzy fin¬ ally makes the cheerleaders ' squad and proudly declares that all her sore muscles are worth getting on. Suzy ' s cheering and Sam ' s trumpet tooting, plus the help of the team, beat Bulkeley 32-0. The cheerleaders and the 94 band make the most of the occasion by yelling the good news down Main Street. Oh bad news! The combination of Suzy, Sam and the football team did not prove too good because the Green and White lost to HPHS on Thanksgiving Day 7-0. DECEMBER Suzy asks Sam to the Goodwill Formal only to have it postponed until January. Mr. Burke announces in Assembly that Thomas J. Glynn Jr. is the first Weaver alumnus to die in this war, and the assem¬ bly observes a one-minute silence in his memory. Jeanette Brody is elected DAR represen¬ tative by the vote of students and faculty. Christmas vacation, and Suzy spends her holiday working in Fox ' s while Sam checks up on Suzy ' s mail in the Post Office! Mr. Carrier and pals spend their time rationing fuel oils. JANUARY, 1943 Sam and Suzy return to start the last lap of their senior year, and find that the Armed Forces will soon be claiming Weaver students. Suzy becomes perturbed over the fact that a minor explosion happened in her Chem. Lab. when Mr. Parks and some sparks get mixed up. It seems that the very particular Mr. Parks slipped up and unintentionally let a spark fall into a beaker of lead and sulfur. A sudden chemical reaction took place and the mixture obligingly went up in flames and enveloped the whole third floor in a dense choking smoke screen. The WARS appear at Weaver, and the members cover themselves with glory at ration¬ ing headquarters. The Projection Squad of Mr. Parks receives national recognition in the Educational Screen. FEBRUARY Suzy is very disappointed because Governor Baldwin requests that the Goodwill Formal be cancelled because of the fuel shortage, and after she had bought a new evening dress! The Mile-Of-Dimes is lengthened by generous contributions from Weaver ' s students and faculty. Suzy and her girl-friends have been doing some voluntary work in Hartford Hospital, and they learn that they are now considered members of the Bluebirds. ' Suzy is proud of her blue uniform and loves the work there. The Victory Corps objectives are explained, and the drive for school membership starts. The Senior class elections are held with George Wald elected President, Betty Rock¬ well, Treasurer; and Bob Brainard, Reception Chairman. Sam froze his ears coming to school in the twenty-below temperature. However it was worth it because he heard Rubinoff and his violin at assembly. Mr. Burke make an elo¬ quent appeal for Victory Corps membership, and Sam and Suzy are among the first to join. Former teacher, Mr. Woodbury, wins national recognition for his winning poem Valley Forge. Suzy and Sam are elated because they are on the new formed Matinee Dance Commit¬ tee with Connie Nappier as Chairman. The Victory Corps gets under way with the formation of the Victory Corps council. Ed¬ ward Gipstein and Connie Malley represent the Seniors. 95 The school social season opens with the Girls ' League and Victory Corps spon¬ sored dance. Suzy and Sam naturally at¬ tend the dance and thoroughly enjoy themselves. Many more good dances have been promised. The school is shocked by the sudden death of Edwin Wolf, a sophomore, and also of the loss of an alumnus, Alex Dia¬ chenko, former Honor student and football captain, on a destroyer engaged in Atlan¬ tic convoy duty. Loquacious Abe Goldbarb passes suc¬ cessfully through the school, city, and county oratorical contests and wins second place in the state contest. Gerard Sick is named Valedictorian of the Senior Class and Jeanette Brody, Saluta- torian. Orchids and applause to both! Weaver hits the 90% participation mark in sale of War bonds and stamps with Room 227 getting 100% participation. APRIL Navy V-12 and Army A-12 tests are given at Weaver, and since Sam tries out, Suzy goes around all morning with her fingers crossed hoping that he will get a good mark. Lookout Dance is held, and Sam and Suzy go. They like the decorations and enthusi¬ astically admit they have a swell time. An assembly is given to urge a greater total of War Bonds and Stamps purchase. John McNulty is master of ceremonies with Betty Summers and Abe Goldfarb giving pep talks and Betty Rockwell reciting High Flight”. The Minute Man Flag arrives and Mr. Waring is proud as punch. Very appropriate- exer¬ cises are held and everyone resolves to keep the flag up there. MAY Sam and Suzy, ambitious and patriotic, start planting Victory Gardens. Sam got the knees of his pants all dirty and Suzy, poor girl, breaks her favorite long fingernail, but they figure that the end will justify the means! Everybody agog! Graduation and Reception two weeks early. Suzy and her gang go scouting for new dresses. Sam will wear the same old stiff front! JUNE Graduation! Sam and Suzy now are Alumni of WHS. They enjoy all the class activities and think the Senior Reception is the best dance they ever went to. The three years at Weaver have been fun, and they hope that the future will hold as much enjoyment—with the war coming to a speedy end and an era of lasting peace arriving at last! 96 Goal!

But in reality he is nothing new. Weaver has always had its Gremlims as many of us can tell. There is the Koob-hsup, the little fellow who never fails to push our books onto the floor just as the teacher has finished lecturing about unnecessary disturbances. The only diffi¬ culty is that the Koob-hsup can be seen only by students. This leads to a great deal of trouble and explanation. The Elkcit, on the other hand, has a peculiar trait of tickling one. Why else should it happen that when we are paying close attention to everything that is being said in class, we should giggle or laugh just as the teacher turns to look at us? No one ever makes cracks to make us laugh! It is the Elkcit every time. Who is the lucky person who never came across an Ibila? We do our homework, writing everything there is to be written, learning everything there is to be learned. Then the little devil flies away with our paper, and places our card so we will be called on for the one question we do not know. It is, without doubt, the Ibila who is the cause of every zero. His cousin, Topsdnilb, is the one who holds his scraggly invisible hand over part of the assignment. That is usually why we often don ' t get to do all the lesson. As for Klat; all we can say is, . . . . Many is the time, in study hall, Klat comes over and begins to push our lips up and down. To be sure, his vile little purpose is to make the teacher think we are talking. But we are not. Klat has been responsible for more than one demerit or cipher. Well known to Miss Fleming and the Friday Club is the Lli. We get up on a fine Friday morning and suddenly, o-o-o-w! what a stomach ache! Of course we stay home in bed. Then, just as it is too late to go to school, the pain is gone. Then what is there to do but go to a movie? The original trouble was caused by Lli. He gets his daily exercise by going around and jumping up and down on students ' mid-sections from 7:30 to 9 o ' clock. Praise be to Lli and long weekends! Last, but not least, is the Krej, the one who gave us all the inside dope on his fellow Gremlins. 101 CLUBS LATIN CLUB In keeping with the times, the Concilium Romanum has become a service club. As a part of their duty in the war, the members have sent handkerchiefs and books to former Latin Club members who are now in the armed services and have done volunteer work in the community when called upon. The officers this year were: Consules . . Ruth Tuck, Shirley Ginsberg Quaes,tores . Gerard Siek, Lillian Kamins Censor .Muriel Calloway Faculty Adviser .Miss Conklin C.H.L.S. The Caroline Hewins Literary Society has become a library service group for the dura¬ tion. The members have become library assistants and have given up a period or more a week for this volunteer work. Their weekly meetings are spent no longer in discussing books, but in rolling surgical bandages. President .Ruth Tuck V.-President and Treasurer . Thelma Bloom Secretary .Betty Joseph Faculty Adviser . Miss Elizabeth Haselton SENIORS IN THIS CLUB INCLUDE Shirley Ginsberg, Sylvia Hurwitz, Bernice Bright- man, Betty Joseph, Muriel Glasser, Sylvia Nassau, Selma DuBrow, Ruth Tuck, Serena Steinberg, Thelma Bloom, Phyllis Mottram, Ada Maislen, Selma Mo¬ ses, Selma Sondik, Deena Farber. 102 ✓ A Art-Crafts Club in the War-Effort Interest and ability in every line of art is being developed by the faculty and members of the Art-Crafts Club to support Weaver ' s united war efforts. The annual sale of articles designed and created by students provided the club treasury with funds with which a War Bond was purchased. As an inspirational reminder to fellow students, the Art Department cir¬ culated original posters, which were made by the silk screen process, throughout the school to stimulate furthur the buying of War Stamps. This was followed by the drawing of large graphs placed in the lobby to show the results of Weaver ' s participation. The Art-Crafts Club Supply Store, opened a year ago, eventually will be enlarged to ac¬ commodate the entire student body with various indispensable school supplies. Undoubt¬ edly, this will be an added convenience for those who work, or who would otherwise make a special trip downstreet. Patronizing our store is both thrifty and patriotic, for our profits buy more bonds. Although at present club members gather voluntarily during their free school periods to roll bandages for the Municipal Hospital, previously regular club meetings were set aside es¬ pecially so that all might participate in this indirect war activity, an urgent community need. Also, in connection with war service, after studying briefly the general principles of map¬ making and camouflage, the club members began actual three dimensional map projects to test and develop their techniques for camouflage. From the many enthusiastic letters of former Weaver students now in active service, the Art Department realizes more each passing day that certain specific skills acquired here have been useful in aiding them to fill an important place in the armed forces. Art training, too, is essential in war time. 103 Mr. Waring and His Assistants Boys ' Commercial Club The Boys ' Commercial Club has dedicated itself to service during the war emergency. In addition to be¬ ing in charge of the sale of War Bonds and Stamps at Weaver, its members take assignments to those students who have been absent. No officers were elected for the year. Camera Club The activities of the Camera Club were limited this year to several photograph con¬ tests. Best pictures were chosen in the field of landscape, action, etc. Officers were: President .Israel Kosovsky Vice-President .Elisha Freedman Secretary .Herb Kane Treasurer .Sidney Turner Faculty Adviser . . . Mr. Van Schaack Chess Club Although the clubs at Weaver have centered their activities on service, the Chess Club has managed to take some time for recreation. Many intra-mural tournaments have been held as well as contests with other schools. The Chess Club has enjoyed a fairly success¬ ful season. Officers for this year were: President .Gerard Siek Vice-President .Alex Berman Treasurer .Albert Stoltz Sec ' y. and Tournament Director Jay Raeben 104 Girls ' League The executive board of the Girls ' League has aided greatly in the launching of the Vic¬ tory Corps. Members have given generously of their time to this effort. The board in¬ cludes: President .Marie Moriarty 1st Vice-President .... Barbara Carey 2nd Vice-President .... Bette Askinas Secretary .Marion Walch Treasurer .Dorothy Maines Senior Member .... Constance Malley Junior Member .... Peggy Blumenthal Sophomore Member . . . Betty Anderson Honor Society The Honor Society, in fulfilling one of its aims, service, has organized tutoring and col¬ lege room committees. The former has aided students who have had difficulty with some study. The latter was in charge of the college room and kept it open to those interested in reading various catalogues. The officers were: President .Gerard Siek Vice-President .John Lombardo Secretary .Betty Summers Treasurer .Mr. Stanley Faculty Adviser .Mr. Burke Dramatic Club Dimouts and gasoline rationing have made it necessary for the Dramatic Club to aban¬ don its annual production. It is, however, going on with the important work of keeping the members in trim for future presentations. Each week a group of the club puts on a short play for the rest of the members. The group then holds a period of criticism and discussion, always striving for self-improvements. This year the officers were: President .John McNulty V.-President and Treas. . Elizabeth Rockwell Secretary .Althea Greenwald Faculty Advisers .Mr. Crowell, and Miss Sheehan 105 WARS Officers and Directors Seated: Previtali, Poritz, J. Biederman, Coppinger, Susman. Second Row: Sodafsky, Summers, Kaprove, Falvey, Noble, DuBrow, Meltzer. Back Row: Miss Case, Mr. Carrier, Miss Chapman. At 2:30 o ' clock every afternoon the members of the Rationing Board at 128 Allyn Street eagerly await the arrival of ten members of the Weaver Auxiliary Rationing Squadron with their Sergeant and Corporal detailed to work there for the afternoon. These girls have enthusiastically volunteered to give their services in filing applications and issuing books for the various rationed commodities. They are always cheerful and willing to work, and their giving up of a few hours of recreation which they would ordinarily have had every afternoon has allowed some men and women to do urgent war work. The following seniors participated in the WARS: Selma DuBrow, Rena Meltzer, Betty Summers, Annrita Mitchell, Agnes Azarian, Ber¬ nice Brightman, Arline Epstein, Esther Norwitz, Jeanette Brody, Henrietta Goldman, Shirley Singer, Annette Bieber, Bernice Marholin, Ruth Kaprove, Frances Bushman, Gertrude Katz, Iolanda Romano, Gertrude Y einer, Roslyn Winick, Sibby Youlovsky, Shirley Glazer, Sylvia Weiner, Judith Spector, and Estelle Meister, Record Clerk. 106 War Bonds and Stamps 91.2% on March 25th! 99.8% on April 15! Total—$42,402.35 There are times for serious thoughts! This is one. We owe a debt of gratitude to those through whose efforts we have been given the privilege to support our brothers in arms in the fight for freedom. War stamp corsages do more than decorate our buttonholes. They assure us that Weaver High School will not someday be decorated with the flags of the Third Reich. Stamps mean bonds, and bonds mean the sound of the Stars and Stripes Forever forever in our ears. On March 25, Weaver attained the goal of over 90% partici¬ pation in the purchasing of Stamps and Bonds. MR. WARING-WAR STAMPS AND BONDS Betty Joseph, Lois Calusine, Judith Spector, Shirley Epstein, Muriel Glazier, Marjorie Kagan, Annette Bieber, Marion Carlo, Shirley Glazer, Despina Dadiskos, Marie Moriarty, Estelle Meister, Betty Gerovitz. WOMEN-AT-WAR-WEEK-STAMP CORSAGES Elsie Breglia, Dorothy Ragazzi, Iolanda Romano, Lorna Potenza, George Wald, Solon Singer. 107 The Portal has not tried to cover all student activi¬ ties in connection with the war effort. Each day has brought new responsibili¬ ties and an eager accep¬ tance of additional duties. Airplane Spotters The editors have select¬ ed outstanding examples of student participation to reflect the Weaver spirit. In mentioning names, the editors have included those of seniors only. The other classes have re¬ sponded in the same loyal and patriotic spirit. Weaver Scrap Drive 108 Airplane Spotters Plane Spotters Angela Mascola Ann-Marie Jeffers Bernard Kaplan Conn. State Guard Corp. Andrew DiBella There is no greater satisfaction for high school fellows and girls today, than to feel that they are doing something concrete to help win this war. Our airplane spotters are always on the job to do their bit for Uncle Sam as they watch for planes. They have become skilled in identifying planes and ob¬ serving their altitude, number of motors, and the direction in which they are flying. Those who belong to the Connecticut State Guard, whose members are always ready to meet all emergencies, have done their bit by par¬ ticipating in a military training and service program. Another group is getting the satis¬ faction of knowing that they can and must help the people in their neighborhood, with risk to their own lives, in time of any possible air attack. These are the air raid wardens. Yes, all of these people are loyally, patrioti¬ cally putting Uncle Sam ' s needs and desires before their own for the ultimate goal—free¬ dom and liberty for all. Air Raid Wardens Doris Baron, Esther Norwitz, Bernice Parade, Louise Levy, Lola Lewin, Rosalyn Landerman, Judith Rosenthal, Mildred Rogil, Miriam Ziff, Leslie Beatman, Arnold Fischer, Joseph Gold- farb, Marvin Gutin, George Peroni, Connie Nappier, Jr., Israel Kosovsky, John McNulty. 109 Lunchroom Monitors Let thy conscience be thy guide. If this doesn ' t work, the lunchroom monitor is there to play the part of the wee small voice. It ' s not much fun eating over the remains of some¬ one else ' s dinner or writing a theme that is destined to be punctuated with mustard! Monitor, is this a dream, Is the table really clean? Yes, dear teacher, but there ' s trouble you see, The cleaner-upper is always me! Don ' t worry, we appreciate it. CHIEF MONITORS Rose Milone, Betty Hogan, Marie Pace, Frances Sandler, Jacquelyn Goldberg, Sidney Bogan, Fred Gondek.

Waste, ally of the enemy, is being combatted by the Scrap Commit¬ tee and by those helping with the various relief drives. Soon many of us will be receiv¬ ing that paper which reads, The President of the United States sends you greetings.” The draft board assistants helped in expediting those papers to reach their destinations. And who can overlook the helpers of the greatest mother of all, the Red Cross? Long may they save! SCRAP COMMITTEE Key Drive Barbara Carey, Joyce Sheintop, Althea Greenwald, Betty Joseph, Ruth Tuck, Robert Hall, Joseph Gerber, Arthur Silverman, Gerard Siek, Dana Darling, John McNulty.

RED CROSS SEWERS Doris Demers, Ruth Dixon. Ill War Rationing Using Blue Stamps Wisely Each time there has been a request for Weaver students to help in the various rationing processes, there has always been a great response. Under the guidance of the very able Mr. Carrier, students have been instructed on how to issue the rationing books, tailor the fuel oil ration coupons, and assist at the Weaver Fuel Oil Computation Center. Issued Book 2: Ruth Ratner, Phyllis Mottram, Sylvia Nassau, Carmelo Partesano, Ruth Tuck, Althea Greenwald, Alex Berman, Dana Darling, Max Galinsky, Cyril Smith, Evelyn Weiner, Robert Schmidt, Arline Mischel, Shirley Epstein, Dorothy Maines, Abraham Gold- farb, Selma Sondik, Ada Maislen, Selma Moses, Bernard White, Dorothy Friedman, Anne Blum, Arlene Epstein, Gerald Okrant, Thelma Bloom, Marie Moriarty, Shirley Ginsberg, Betty Rockwell, Robert Maloney, Albert Stoltz, Irving Jones, Lewis Sheketoff, Howard Werner, Gerard Siek, Allan Walch, Maurice Shechter, Sidney Bogin, Edward Herbert, Edward Ber- ard, Burton Cohen, Seymour Black, Nancy Goldenthal, Lester Neiditz, Benson Levine, Jerry Nisselbaum, Jean Kaufman, Evelyn Lassman, Edward Gipstein, Bernice Brightman, Estelle Meister.

Computation Center: Selma DuBrow, Ruth Kaprove, Annrita Mitchell, Rena Meltzer, Joyce Shientop, Betty Summers, Shirley Singer. 112 Bluebirds With doctors and nurses being called away every day to the theaters of war, high schools girls have volunteered their services to the hospitals to help do the work around the hospital that is so necessary but yet does not require any definite medical knowledge. They are helpful in various ways, such as making up supper trays, washing and wiping dishes, and many other duties that would ordinarily fall on the limited nursing force. All the girls work for the blue pin which they get after two weeks of service, and some even intend to stay for as long as two years to earn their white stripe. Among this patriotic group are these seniors: Gloria Weiss, Evelyn Weiner, June Vogel, Dorothy Maines, Lola Lewin, Marie Moriarty. Nurses ' Aids 113 o Projection Squad Mr. Parks and His Boys Projection Squad: Carmelo Partesano, Robert Schmidt, Gerard Siek, Richard Siek, Rob¬ ert Twiss, Allan Walch. Yippee, we miss geometry—movies! While we utter screams of delight, the projection squad is working hard to get things ready for the show. During air raid drills the com¬ forting voice of Mr. Burke comes to us through the efforts of the squad, keepers of the loud-speaker system. They are at the beck and call of Hartford, ready to render service at any time and for any occasion, sometimes operating unfamiliar projectors—and all gratis. Don ' t think they are amateurs. Every Friday they learn more about projecting as well as planning their very full schedule for the week. They find time also to do their part for the war effort by putting on shows for machine shop courses, air raid wardens, and other Civil¬ ian Defense groups. We are indeed grateful and proud of Weaver ' s expert cameramen. 114 Can You Imagine? w arren Coon in a midget show? E lizabeth Rockwell with a Southern drawl? A da Maislen in rags?

From the lofty, northern corner of fhe building has come a welcome procession of de¬ signs, sketches, and caricatures from the able hands of: Anne Blum, Bertha Orentlich, Bev¬ erly Epstein, Donald Vaccari, Leonard Killeen, Fred Bloom, Thomas Leddy, Francis Rossi, Virginia Kusner, Phyllis Mottram, Eunice Montstream, Eda Mecca, Clara Rodgers, fennie DeMeo, Elizabeth Skripol, Beatrice Echenique, Thelma Sailor, and Doris Maycock. Out of the ever-observing cameras of Max Galinsky and Leon Darefsky have come many an excellent photograph to grace an otherwise empty Portal page. In these times when film is almost as scarce as gasoline, and photoflash bulbs definitely extinct, we es¬ pecially appreciate the work of these two young men. A word of thanks is certainly in order for Cy Smith, who has assisted many a Por¬ tal Board member in wrestling with a difficult write-up. To lack Brown, the representative of fhe engraving and printing company, who pa¬ tiently arranged our scrambled copy into printable form, and to Mr. Larrabee and Mr. Cun¬ ningham, without whose efforts The Portal would never have matured, we offer our deep¬ est thanks. To those whom we have mentioned and also to all whose by lines have gone unre¬ corded, we of the Portal Board say once more thanks a lot—and thanks again!
