BOYS’ CLUB EXECUTIVE BOARD Seated, left to right: Murray, Egan, Good¬ man. Standing: Goldberg, Tinsley, Weisman, Countryman, Thomas, Mr. Melrose. MR. EZRA MELROSE During our years at Weaver, Mr. Ezra Melrose has truly been a friend to all. His warm words of en¬ couragement and his incessant willingness to advise a Weaverite can never be forgotten. King Arthur’s right hand man” can be found at Weaver at almost any hour of the day, either arranging activities, as¬ sisting coaches, writing college recommendations, or offering fatherly advice to a perplexed student. As faculty advisor of the Boys’ Club, Mr. Melrose has proved himself a tireless worker in promoting that organization to its present prominent position. All of us in the Senior Class congratulate him on a job well done and wish him the best of luck in the future.

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.
