MR. BURKE We came to Weaver with a certain curiosity concerning the person who managed this establishment. A feeling of anticipation and wholesome awe pervaded our beings. We wondered what he would be like, and we were not disappointed. We found a gentleman and a scholar who has more than fulfilled our expectations, a man who by his fairness and integrity and by his restrained dynamic personality completely won our hearts. His dry humor pleased us, his man-to-man talks inspired us, and his faith in the essential good in youth produced in us an eager desire to do what he wished and to displease him in no particular. The high standard set by this man in his daily relations with pupils and teachers cannot be easily reached. We students know that we have had an experienced and thoroughly capable hand guiding our ship through all the storms and squalls which have been so important to us alone, someone who understood us and who, in that understanding, sym¬ pathized with us. We can truthfully say that we are proud to have had him as a principal, and that we are starting out in life better young men and young women for having known and associated with our principal—Mr. Burke.

MISS FAITH TALCOTT Wc are only a few of the thousands of young people whom Miss Faith Talcott has watched and guided as we passed through the experiences of high school. We are only a humble few of the thousands who have admired and looked up to her. Her wisdom has often pointed out to us the honorable way to solve our petty prob¬ lems, and her aid has made burdensome problem s seem simple. Her kindness and sym¬ pathy have encouraged us to take our various difficulties to her. Many have learned that she is a charming and worthy friend as well as an excellent counselor. Miss Talcott has worked tirelessly with the girls of Weaver and the faculty to carry on the Girls’ League. Her spirit is symbolic of that which the girls have at¬ tempted to keep alive through this organization. [ 14 ]
