WEAVER’S ENTHUSIASM REFLECTS IN ITS MANY FACES The story of the Class of ’67 is the story of its many faces. The face of study, the face of anxiety, the face of fun, the face of excitement — these change as quickly as disappointments change to joy. This was the year that seniors rejoiced with the football team which boasted an undefeated season and wept with Weaver’s outstanding basketball team which fell to Hartford High. This was the year when the inexpres¬ sible joy of four snow days tempered the endless monotony of marking period exams and term papers. This was the year that disheartening rejections brought by stiff competition were foiled by numerous accep¬ tances. Most significantly of all, this was the year that the face of the senior became the face of maturity as seniors took the lead in Weaver life. Howie Green- blatt assumed the presidency of Student Council, Dona Summers coordinated all senior activities, Paul Spector edited the best Lookout in history, and Elyse Cramer headed both the cheerleaders and Girls’ League. On the sports scene meanwhile, Phil Fugge, Ray Kitchens, Jewett Newkirk, Ben Matthews and Wayne Jones cap¬ tained Weaver’s winning teams. Not only these stu¬ dents, but the entire senior class exemplified leader¬ ship for the novice underclassmen; in studies, as well as activities and jobs, the seniors have led the way toward maturity. By accepting its responsibilities and overcoming challenges, the Class of ’67 has made the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Steve Jones, Neil Berman and Phil Fugge return after a snow day.

THE FACE OF STUDY INVOLVES EFFORT Sheila Rose checks PORTAL lists. The face of work brings forth the more serious aspects of student life at Weave r. In an art class, Cathy O’Loughlin ambitiously attempts to learn the rudiments of perspective, while Mrs. Gubitz’s senior math class concerns itself with complicated calculations. Suzanne Ratner, a future woman of the business world, practices office filing while young men of the Audio Visual Squad familiarize themselves with the latest equipment. In addition to the work the students do in school, many work part-time in insurance com¬ panies, banks, department stores, and countless other places of business. Some of them, in work¬ ing part-time, are gaining experience in the fields that they will pursue upon graduation. Others are working to earn money for their personal needs and to save for their future education. The A.V.A. squad members at work. 4
