, WELL-IN!-ORMED, thoughtful, and articulate, Superintendentweaver guided the School Board and administrative assistants through many problems and triumphs. MR. PHILIP WEAVER, dynamic but warmly human, was always an attentive and concerned listener. Mr. Weaver, remembered, is a harmonious blend of charm, Philip Johnson Weaver spent his eighteen years in the Greensboro schools striving for excellence. Even before he became Superinten- dent in 1958, he was working to create a communications bridge between himself and his principals, teachers, and students. His efficiency ranged from finding ways to relax tensions to personally relaying instructions on snow days. Throughout the state he will be remembered as a superior administrator. for he had the talents that make a good man great. Students at Grimsley felt a deep respect and admiration for P. J. Weaver. A smile, a firm handshake, and a pleasant word characterized him to us. He supported the Whirlies in all seasons. When he spoke annually in a GHS assembly, he showed his concern and interest in the affairs of our daily lives. He often came to Grimsley seeking student opinions on crucial issues. Mr. Weaver spoke a modern language, kept aware of our probelms, and radiated his faith in our worth. Because we remember him for his constant interest and his steady devotion to the students of Grims- ley. we gratefully dedicate this 1970 Whirligig to the memory of Philip Johnson Weaver. 6 WHEN MR. WEAVER came each year to speak in a GHS assembly, students listened, for he was a man who said what was worth hearing.
