William F. Aitken Principal TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1950: As you leave here I could just say good-bye,” but Weaver will always be with you in some small measure. Memories will came back to you from time to time and you will relive the pleasant years spent here. 1950 has been a good class, and as alumni we ask the same loyalty you gave as undergraduates. As you graduate your name will be added to a long list of fine, loyal alumni. To each of you, best wishes for success in your new ventures, and as you leave, to each of you, God-speed. William F. Aitken. Left to right: Mr. Aitken, Ferraina, Bill” Lee, Moores. MR. WILLIAM F. AITKEN In years to come, many students of the class of 1950 will remember, with respect and admira¬ tion, Mr. William Aitken, our principal, or, to put it in other words, the Ringmaster” of school life. The coordinator of all school activities, edu¬ cational and recreational, Mr. Aitken has exer¬ cised a firm yet kindly authority. Whether he was seen addressing an assembly with his famous last words, You now stand dismissed to your first period class,” or whether he was met in a more personal contact about one of the many details of a school day, his refreshing personality was always deeply felt. By his great pride in Weaver and through his tireless efforts in guiding his students along the right paths to happiness, Mr. Aitken has won a place in every student’s heart. We sincerely thank Mr. Aitken for the privi¬ lege of being under his leadership.

ATION —one of the most well liked and loyal teachers in Weaver. An instructor in our school since its opening in 1924, he has constantly taken interest in many phases of school life. His quiet and unassuming attitude hide from many the fact of his numerous activities for the school such as being treasurer of the William Holden Memorial Scholarship Fund. In addition to his thorough instruction in chemistry and physics, supple¬ mented by guidance of the Physics Club, he has willingly participated in many other school affairs. Well may he be proud of his numerous accomplishments at Weaver, for which the class of 1950 cordially congratulates and thanks Mr. E. Allan Maines. Mr. E. Allan Maines 7
