Thomas Snell Weaver High School From every angle, Weaver High looms majestic, and students amble towards its many portals. Pictured above, the school sits upon its small crest of green-topped Ridgefield Street earth. Contented to face famous Keney, season after season, winter gives it the chance to peek around the corner, down through Greenfield Street so far that it can almost catch sight of Vine Street and a 9:05 scholar, trotting exhausted towards Jasper ' s desk. Weaver is at its prettiest in May time when the hedges are just budding, and the dandelions poke their mischievous heads out from beneath the bleachers, and everything is a veritable sea of green. Then, a gym class could be found at work the whole length of the Weaver block, from the soccer field at Blue Hills Avenue and Westbourne Parkway to the edge of the athletic field at Greenfield and Blue Hills. There would be the windowed annex . . . the flag, flying against a blue sky . . . and the auditorium . . . and the gym . . . We shall all remember Weaver — a place of learning, enjoyment, and beauty. 10
