Book Dedicated To Mr. William Weaver The senior class of 1971 dedicated this yearbook with great pride to Mr. William Weaver. We believe that no one at New Lexington High School is more deserving of this recognition than Mr. Weaver who has dedicated so many years of his own life to the education of youth. The characteristics that make him such an interesting, individualistic person are hard to pin-point. Mr. Weaver strives to make certain that each student is treated fairly and with equal opportunity. His honesty shines forth in his classroom as well as in informal discussions. Although not a stern teacher, Mr. Weaver knows how to discipline without being harsh. Through these characteristics and others, Mr. Weaver shows that he is a man who loves life and lives it to its fullest extent. For this reason we, the class of '71, humbly dedicate this edition of the Lexingtonian to Mr. William R. Weaver. 6
