Adm in zlvtmtion LEE J. MCEWAN, Superintendent Mr. H. Earle Weaver H. Earle Weaver, principal of North High for the five years of its existence, has been connected with more than ten schools during his life. Graduating and receiving his Bachelor of Arts Degree from Colgate, Mr. Weaver has attended three other uni- versities. A graduate of Central High, Mr. Weaver has held several positions in local schools including the vice-principalship of Central and principalship of East Junior. Mr. Weaver has two children, Betty Mae and Richard. Betty is now enrolled at Buffalo State Teachers College, in the Home Economics Course. Richard, the younger of the two, has just entered North High in the Technical Machine Course. Although his early ambitions followed medical lines, Mr. Weaver's choices were altered by the First World War and his realization of the importance of education. Now Mr. Weaver is concluding his twenty- first year as an educator. Mr. Lee J. McEwan Mr. Lee J. McEwan, Superintendent of Binghamton schools since September, 1941, is a cheerful, friendly man. He is espe- cially interested in gardening and likes most things connected with the out-of- doors. He likes to bowl and play golf. Recently, however, he has been engaged in a Red Cross First Aid Course. Mr. Mc- Ewan has a son, Donald, in Central High Schoolg and a daughter, Nancy, in Ran- dolph Macon College. Mr. McEwan acted as assistant superin- tendent for about four and one-half years. He was previously principal at Central High. Before this, he was principal in Hornell, and taught at Elmira and Roches- ter. He prepared for teaching at Syracuse University and Columbia University. Mr. McEwan wishes to pass this mes- sage on, not only to graduates. but to all Binghamton High School students, that certain conditions may arise in future years so that some pupils may not be able to com- plete their school education. Consequently, he urges, that each make the most of the time he has for education. H. EARLE WEAVER, Principal
