' As our country passes through this, her darkest hour, Weaver students and teachers alike have gone forth to succor her, and before 1943 waxes older, many more will also depart from the portals of Weaver to join the various serv¬ ices. This war may be long and its price dear—we realize all too well that many who have answered the call to arms may be sacrificed upon the bloody altar of Mars before this war is won. Already three Weaver graduates have paid for the coming peace with their lives. They were typical of all the men and boys who have given up the happy, well-ordered life which should rightly be theirs, to enter the armed forces. Therefore, in tribute, we, the class of 1943, do dedicate this class book to Thomas J. Glynn Jr., Alex Diachenko, and Frank C. Richardson, as repre- sentatives of all those who, unselfishly and unstintingly, are sacrificing every¬ thing to serve their Country and their God. 7

MR. FRANK H. BURKE Our Principal I do not believe that any student can call to mind the assembly hall with¬ out picturing Mr. Burke on the stage speaking with his unhurried, forceful, accurate wording and his commanding basso profundo . Or can anyone forget his grinning and chuckling good-naturedly upon the completion of his Modern Design cheer, or blushing embarrassedly at certain remarks con¬ cerning a curly-haired, red-headed young man? Nor is it possible to recall the front lobby without seeing the long queue of nervous students, each possessing a call slip scrawled with a queer Greek character, collecting before The Desk ? However, regardless of whether it be a cipher or a commendation slip, no student need expect anything but gen¬ uine, sympathetic interest and temperate justice from his principal. Long after we have left Weaver, we shall all continue to remember Mr. Frank H. Burke as the able, respected, human almus pater of us all, his students. 8
