FOREWORD This year, 1964-1965, has seen a rebirth of Hartford. We have seen old buildings torn down and new ones take their place. Hartford has been refashioned into a dynamic and prosperous city, one which looks to the future for its life. So the Seniors of Weaver High School, from this malleable group, will, from this day, go out into the world and, with these four years as a foundation, build their own future. No matter where life takes them on their journey, the basis for it has been laid in these years at Weaver. Any yearbook tries to capture the events that happen to a class in its years at school. So the Portal of 1965 has taken the citizens of these years at Weaver and has shown them at their work and play. It is the hope of the Editorial Board of the 1965 Portal that this book will be a reminder to you of the best years of your life. J. M. A. AT PLAY

DEDICATION It is difficult to express the sentiments of numerous Weaverites regarding this member of the faculty. The unlimited patience which she has shown toward her students has won her the respect and ad¬ miration of all. Her class is one in which each individual must think for himself and thus experiences a personal satisfaction when he ar¬ rives at a correct answer. Her interest, however, encompasses much more than merely teaching her classes atomic structure. Due to her sincere concern for the individual student and his problems, she can frequently be found counselling some troubled senior. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to be in one of her chemistry classes have truly had a unique experience. Therefore, it is with deep gratitude that we, the class of 1965, dedicate The Portal to Miss Elizabeth W. Sawyer.
