MR. BURKE To him who is at the head of our Alma Mater, we pay the highest tribute possible. Throughout our years under his guidance, we have come to know him as a kindly guardian, a sympathetic listener, and a staunch friend. We learned to expect that this principal of ours would whole-heartedly cooperate with us in every instance. He was always present to cheer us on — whether in football, in basketball, or in our scholastic endeavors. With all sincerity and loyalty, he has helped to make us proud of our school. Never has he failed in his efforts to do the best within him for us. He astounded us by his youthful participation in student activities, and by his irrepressible knack of understanding. To us he was the guiding light of hope, spurring us on to greater victories and achievements. As we pass through the portals of Weaver, on to the unknown before us, we shall al¬ ways remember him for his untiring leadership and tolerant character. Thus it is with deep regret that we bid adieu to you, Mr. Burke. We thank you for your zealous work which made our stay at Weaver so pleasant.

MISS FAITH TALCOTT When our school days become memories and all incidents connected with them become dim, the memory of Miss Faith Talcott, our kind and sympa¬ thetic vice-principal and dean of girls, will stand out like a beacon in the fog. We shall not remember her as an aloof pedagogue, but as a friend who was always willing to aid us in any of our difficulties or our undertakings. By virtue of her sincere amiableness, her understanding, and her excellent guid¬ ance, she has secured a place in our memories that even time will find difficult [ H] to erase.
