PRICE Jforetoorb We have reached a strange point in our lives, a confusing point. On the doorstep of new horizons, we cling des¬ perately to the tried, familiar things. Living in a perplexing world, we grasp for ideals to cling to, standards by which we live. We think that we have found a path to follow, a light to lead us. In the days of King Arthur, ideals were high, clear, and simple. The accomplishing of good was the accepted raison d’etre.” In our PORTAL, we hark back to those or¬ dered days; we recall the chivalrous knights, the fair ladies in distress. What Weaver 85, Central 73 (overtime) New England Champs! People, people, everywhere! m mm. .wmis ' mmm was beautiful and good in that era, we have taken for our use. We can only hope that this comparison adequately expresses our innermost longings and desires. The PORTAL, in addition to its serv¬ ice as a witness to our ideals, is a memo¬ rial to the four years that we, the class of 1957, have spent together at Weaver. In it we have tried to inject some of the warmth, the companionship, and the closeness which have been ingrained parts of this class. This yearbook is at¬ tempting to do a lot. It must recapture the past; it must point the way to the future. It is our wish that this book may serve as a beacon in the future to the members of the class of 1957. How did HE sneak in? DEDICATION What are parents? In the first stages of parenthood, they are baby feeders and lullaby singers. When their young ones enter grammar school, parents turn from babysitting to helping with multiplication tables, spell¬ ing words, and the new chapter in Alice and Jerry. As high school enters their life, they are again called upon to solve algebra problems, to trans¬ late Latin, to surrender the car for that big dance, or to help select the first fotmal gown. In an emergency they are delivering newspapers, driving to get their offspring when no other transportation is available, and always close by when they are needed the most. Parents possess such miraculous traits as scolding their child one minute and praising him the next; insisting they don’t worry about him and then staying up until he is home from his date; anticipating the time when he will be grown up and then becoming terribly lonesome when his childhood has disappeared. Parents have the ability of building up morale when it is at its low¬ est, conveying a feeling of safety and security when there is no one else to offer protection, making their child feel necessary and wanted when he is rejected by others. Because parents do all these things and because they represent, above all, love, inspiration, and understanding, we, the class of 1957, with hearts and minds fully appreciative of their devotion, gratefully dedicate this classbook to our most beloved and precious possessions — our parents. STUDENT COUNCIL Seated, left to right: Countryman, Du- Brow, Lutin. Standing: Miss Roche, Katz, Seltzer, Tine, Mr. Aitken. As did knights long ago, we, too, look to our leader as one representing the highest example of dignity and integrity. Principal William Aitken is this man. We have come to know Mr. Aitken as a man de¬ voted to Weaver, its students, and its organizations. The atmosphere of friendliness which surrounds him envelops all who co me in contact with him. His warm smile tells us that we may speak freely and frankly with this man who is truly interested in our welfare. With mixed emotions we say farewell to Mr. Aitken. Although each of us will miss him in a dif¬ ferent way, we will always bear in our hearts the im¬ pression of this inspiring man. No matter what our tasks in life may be, we will all strive to follow our leader’s fine example. Thanks to you, Mr. Aitken, for everything, and may God’s blessing continue to shine on you. MR. WILLIAM F. AITKEN BOYS’ CLUB EXECUTIVE BOARD Seated, left to right: Murray, Egan, Good¬ man. Standing: Goldberg, Tinsley, Weisman, Countryman, Thomas, Mr. Melrose. MR. EZRA MELROSE During our years at Weaver, Mr. Ezra Melrose has truly been a friend to all. His warm words of en¬ couragement and his incessant willingness to advise a Weaverite can never be forgotten. King Arthur’s right hand man” can be found at Weaver at almost any hour of the day, either arranging activities, as¬ sisting coaches, writing college recommendations, or offering fatherly advice to a perplexed student. As faculty advisor of the Boys’ Club, Mr. Melrose has proved himself a tireless worker in promoting that organization to its present prominent position. All of us in the Senior Class congratulate him on a job well done and wish him the best of luck in the future. GIRLS’ LEAGUE EXECUTIVE BOARD Seated, left to right: Lindenberg, Katz, Godbout, D’Esopo. Standing: Miss Roche, Salvatore, Bonazelli, Grimaldi, Vallera, Kelly. MISS ANITA K. ROCHE Warm geniality, friendly encouragements, restless drive, and extreme capability — all characteristics of our Dean of Girls, Miss Anita Roche . . . She offers a guiding hand to those needing assistance . . . Many have found a true friend in her when confronted by a problem . . . Has untiring devotion for Weaver and its students . . . Her graciousness and sincerity have placed her in the faculty’s and students’ highest es¬ teem . . . Maintains a constant interest in school ac¬ tivities, clubs, and social affairs . . . Those who have worked with the Student Council or the Girls’ League can better understand Miss Roche’s devotion to the two groups . . . Through her efforts, many have been inspired to greater school interest . . . This class will be forever grateful for the wonderful opportunities she has made possible, and a place in our heart will always be reserved for Miss Roche. OTeaber iMgf) cljool Weaver High School ... A man’s home is his castle, and Weaver, our home away from home for four years, has indeed been our Castle. Within these grounds has been centered all of our court life: all of our activities, all of our interests, all of our studies. Knights and Ladies, view your castle and remember . . . Remember that a spirit inhabits this beautifully designed castle, giving life to the empty halls and classrooms. It is that spirit which turns the massive architecture into a warm and friendly home. It is the spirit of Weaver which we have taken possession of, which we have strengthened and enlarged, and which we now leave to the future. Remember that some of that spirit leaves with us. Though each of us takes a part of it as his own souvenir, the supply is never exhausted. And, when¬ ever we return to Weaver, whether in mind or in body; whenever we see Weaver, in imagination or in reality, we shall remember. That spirit which is within us will then join with the spirit ever present within these doors. Our lives will be complete once more, filled with the thoughts of our wonderful days in Weaver High School, our Castle of Memory and our Tower of Strength. mmmm EDITORIAL BOARD Seated, left to right: Shuler, Price, Giaffo, Altman, Salter, Wickstrand.

FOOTBALL-1956 Although compiling a non-impressive won and lost record, the Big Green succeeded in dumping Hartford High for the first time since 1948. Rough breaks and hard luck at the start of the season led the Beavers to defeat by some very close margins. The victory over Norwich was followed by the type of games which characterized the beginning of the year. However, on Thanksgiving Day the Beidlermen let loose all their pent up power and fight, and put the Owls to flight. Led by the defensive maneuvering of co-captains Dom DiCicco and Rich Druckman, and the shifty and speedy Andy Holiday, the Green Knights of the Gridiron became heroes over night.

CROSS-COUNTRY Although the Weaver cross-country team compiled an unimpressive 1-5 record in dual meet competition, nevertheless, the Harriers were not as bad as their record might indicate. Since the only returning lettermen were co-captains Bob Grey and Dave Murray, along with veteran Richard Mantano, Coach Ted Wilson had to rely heavily on new¬ comers to the squad. The team’s best runner this past season was, by far, co-captain-elect Richard Cabral, who led the entire Beaver array in six out of ten meets. Joseph Seay and Wayne Belske paced the Wilsonmen in the four remaining contests. Other con¬ sistent performers throughout the season were Wally Jackson, Joe Miller, Bob Grey, and Rich Orluk. Once again the future of the cross-country team looks bright indeed. Coach Wilson has expectations that next year’s squad, led by co-captains-elect Dick Cabral and Wayne Belske, will not only be tops in the area, but also one of the best in the state! Co-Captains Murray and Grey.

TRACK Led by three state champion performers, the Weaver High track team has come through very successfully in the past few seasons. Al¬ though overshadowed by the feats of the hoop and football teams, the Beavers have finished third in the state meet in 1955 and ’56: Turner Cox has broken records in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, while Andy Holiday has been smashing high jump marks in addition to sprinting well. Winner of the state pole-vaulting crown last year was Lenny Wallace. In addition Carl Littman has proved himself a strong contender in the 440 yard dash and the broad jump. Other Green veterans are Dom DiCicco, Ivan Hester, and Bob Grey. The track team has made great strides in the past few years, and the awakening interest in the sport is making it more popular. BASKETBALL TEAM Kneeling, left to right: Shannon, Sullivan, Littman, Egan, Carter, Countrymen, McBride. Standing: Falvey, Goodman, Turner, Bovitz, Thomas, Norman, Lewis, Blue, Mr, Horvath. 1956-1957 BASKETBALL TEAM To the victors belong the spoils” is a phrase which in a few words sums up the 1956-1957 Weaver basketball season. Under the tutelage of Coach Charley Horvath, the remarkable Beaver hoopsters created a grand slam in winning the City, CDC, State, and New England Titles without a loss. In so doing, Weaver established a phenomenal 24-0 record. With the starting five of Bob Countryman, John Egan, John Sullivan, Ted McBride, and Russ Carter showing its adherents blinding speed, deft ball handling, and tremen¬ dous shooting ability, Weaver roared through its regular seventeen game schedule un¬ scratched. After rolling to easy victories in their first four encounters, the Horvathmen met an inspired New Britain club. Losing by eight points at the end of the half, the Green and White erupted to bury the Hurricanes, 62-53. Weaver won the game without much service from Egan, who sat most of the game out on the bench with 4 personal fouls. A few weeks later, it was up to Egan to keep his mates undefeated as he scored 27 points in leading Weaver to a hard earned 55-50 victory over an upset-minded Bulkeley team. Against Norwich Free Academy, the Beavers exploded for 85 points, two shy of the school record, as against Norwich’s 60. Weaver was ranked first in the State Tourney, the only undefeated team in the post-season event. In its first tournament encounter, Weaver had to play on a wet floor in downing Hamden 60-40. The Green and White drew Wilbur Cross in the quarter¬ final round and found their opponents to be a pesky, fast club; Weaver managed to pull away in the final quarter to win 68-60. The Beavers reached the finals by downing Harding of Bridgeport 73-64. 67 Then came the dramatic final game, with the Beavers engaging the perennial threat—Hillhouse. Weaver erected a substantial half time lead in the contest, but Hillhouse fought back to take a one point lead at the end of the third quarter. Weaver’s great playmaker Egan went wild in the final quarter, however, as Weaver won out, 77-72. Egan established a new tourney record that night, 33 points, and broke his record of 62 points in the last three games by 15. Thus Weaver won the State Champion¬ ship for the third time in four years. At Boston, Weaver met LaSalle, the Rhode Island State Champion, in its first contest, winning 75-59. The next evening, Weaver had a return engagement with Hillhouse. The Beavers were victorious by a 60-53 margin. In the final of the New England Tourney, Weaver faced Lawrence Central of Lawrence, Mass., with an imposing 27-0 record. It was a nip and tuck contest, ■A A . f with the lead shitting between the teams time and again. With seven seconds remaining in the game, however, Central led 64-62 and had possession of the ball out of bounds under their own basket. Miracu¬ lously, Weaver’s forward Ted McBride managed to deflect the Central in-bounds pass to Egan who raced for the basket. Before he could reach his goal, how¬ ever, he was fouled. After a timeout, and with 11,000 breathless fans on their feet, Egan calmly dunked both foul shots, thus enabling Weaver to enter an overtime period as pandemonium reigned.

The Beavers scored an unbelievable 21 points in the three minute period, Egan collecting 12 of them, as against Central’s 9, thus winning the game and the New England Cham¬ pionship for the first time, by the score of 85-73. Many people called Egan’s 36 point performance in the final game the greatest ever seen in the Boston Garden. It was a fitting way to end a truly great high school career, for Egan’s 36 points were the most he ever made as a Weaver player. The contest was truly a team win with Sullivan and McBride’s rebounding dominant factors in the win as were the defensive maneuvers of Carter and Countryman. The squad was a team of desire and destiny, the desire enabling the Green and White to achieve their destiny of being the first Hartford School to be un- S £ X V V c£ v® J V tr X - 36 i J ' C a v Qt defeated and the first Hartford area team to win the New England Championship. But besides being great players, the Weaver team established themselves as good sportsmen and gentlemen, a trade mark of Coach Horv ath. All in all it was a great team play, along with a great player in Egan and a great coach in Mr. Horvath, that led Weaver’s squad along its path of glory.
