DEDICATION... The tumult and the shouting dies. The captains and the kings depart: Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice. An humble and a contrite heart. Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet. Lest we forget—lest we forget! —Kipling To honor, thank, or reward all those who fought in battle and to do justice to those who gave their lives that others may live are tasks beyond the power of mortals. We can only faintly comprehend and mutely wonder at what these men and women have gone through. We lift our hands to salute them —and suddenly feel unequal to the task. Praises cannot be sung for such valor. Yet lest we forget their mighty work, we humbly dedicate this book to all Weaver boys and girls who bravely carried the colors of their country in time of war. With equal reverence, we dedicate this book also to a leader of our nation, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who gave his life that this might be a better world for us. 6

MR. FRANK H. BURKE We shall always remember Frank H. Burke as a friend rather than as a principal. He came to understand nearly all of us in more than an impersonal manner. As we prepared to make a way for ourselves in the world, his patience and able guidance have helped us to stay firmly on our course. It is our hope that the good which he gave to us will return to him a thousand-fold. Mr. Burke poses with Town Meeting speakers 8
