Weaver High School - Portal Yearbook (Hartford, CT)

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1975 volume:

In “One Day in the life of Weaver” we are trying to portray the four years of our high school life in one book. Although we might miss some major events, we are trying to capture the essence of our educational expe¬ riences.Every day bussesarrive bringing students with unique personali¬ ties, mixed emotions, different ambitions, yet all are unified in that they are a part of the Weaverfamily. This book represents a day in that fami¬ ly’s life. We got our inspiration from a Special Edition of “Life” magazine “One day in the life of America”. Any similarity to the original is purely intentional. Now we invite you to spend a day with us.
