What are parents? In the first stages of parenthood, they are baby feeders and lullaby singers. When their young ones enter grammar school, parents turn from babysitting to helping with multiplication tables, spell¬ ing words, and the new chapter in Alice and Jerry. As high school enters their life, they are again called upon to solve algebra problems, to trans¬ late Latin, to surrender the car for that big dance, or to help select the first fotmal gown. In an emergency they are delivering newspapers, driving to get their offspring when no other transportation is available, and always close by when they are needed the most. Parents possess such miraculous traits as scolding their child one minute and praising him the next; insisting they don’t worry about him and then staying up until he is home from his date; anticipating the time when he will be grown up and then becoming terribly lonesome when his childhood has disappeared. Parents have the ability of building up morale when it is at its low¬ est, conveying a feeling of safety and security when there is no one else to offer protection, making their child feel necessary and wanted when he is rejected by others. Because parents do all these things and because they represent, above all, love, inspiration, and understanding, we, the class of 1957, with hearts and minds fully appreciative of their devotion, gratefully dedicate this classbook to our most beloved and precious possessions — our parents.

DEDICATION



Page 12 text:

STUDENT COUNCIL Seated, left to right: Countryman, Du- Brow, Lutin. Standing: Miss Roche, Katz, Seltzer, Tine, Mr. Aitken. As did knights long ago, we, too, look to our leader as one representing the highest example of dignity and integrity. Principal William Aitken is this man. We have come to know Mr. Aitken as a man de¬ voted to Weaver, its students, and its organizations. The atmosphere of friendliness which surrounds him envelops all who co me in contact with him. His warm smile tells us that we may speak freely and frankly with this man who is truly interested in our welfare. With mixed emotions we say farewell to Mr. Aitken. Although each of us will miss him in a dif¬ ferent way, we will always bear in our hearts the im¬ pression of this inspiring man. No matter what our tasks in life may be, we will all strive to follow our leader’s fine example. Thanks to you, Mr. Aitken, for everything, and may God’s blessing continue to shine on you. MR. WILLIAM F. AITKEN
