FORE Jf w .

From all outward appearances, Weaver seemed the same as other schools we had attended, but — in reality — here was something greater and deeper than a mere school . . . here was a flourishing, active community. With this as its theme, the ’52 PORTAL has tried, with word and picture, to recapture the true spirit of Weaverville, U.S.A. — its ex¬ citement and serenity — its laugh¬ ter and sorrow — and, above all, its brotherhood and friendship. It has attempted to bring to life the the future citizens of this troubled world! memories of its brotherhood and friendship

Miss Mansfield Among the many memories which will lin¬ ger in the minds of the Class of 1952 is the memory of a quiet-mannered, helpful person. This woman, gifted with a wonderful sense of humor and a contagious smile, has been both history teacher and friend to a countless num¬ ber of Weaver students. The part that she has unselfishly played in the life of our community — as supervisor of the F.P.A. and co-advisor to The Lookout — has been one of extreme importance and infinite value. Because of her deep confidence in students and her untiring willingness to help them suc¬ ceed — because of her true desire to produce more intelligent Americans — and because of the wonderful memories that she has helped to create, we, the Portal Board, dedicate this book to MISS LILLIAN M. MANSFIELD. F. P. A. Seated, left to right: Weitzman, Wertheim, Dauksas, Berson, DuBrow, Hirshfeld, Kahan. Standing: Passett, Meisner, Miss Mansfield, Robin, Pisetsky.
