3rc ' . •; ...■ .. ' ■ •• ■. ■■. -r.. - ‘ . V : r ' : ' WEAVER The sad time has come when oar Weaver journey is ended. (Where has the time flown, you ask?) For indeed the years have passed quickly. But even time cannot claim what Weaver has given us. Within our school’s friendly walls have we grown and matured. Untold hours of satisfaction and joy have come our way. Here have we known adventures which forever enrich our lives. And many are the friendships we have formed. The corridors and classrooms hold unforgettable memories. This stately building have we grown to love. So when we, the class of ’63, pass at last from Weaver’s portals, Say not in parting good-bye, but thank you. A. M. C. ■H

MRS. ELEANOR O’DWYER Her unselfish desire to help has won Mrs. O’Dwyer the respect and admira¬ tion of all. Sincere and warm-hearted, she has been surnamed the Mother” of Weaver. This teacher combines the qualities of sympathy, kindness, gaiety, and erudition to make her English classes rewarding experiences. To Mrs. O’Dwyer we extend our gratitude for being both an understanding person and an excellent teacher. MR. JOE R. GORDON Although he is extremely busy as head of the Guidance Department and as one of the counselors, Mr. Gordon always finds the time to help any stu¬ dent with his problems. In addition to his guidance work, he advises and en¬ courages the affairs and activities of the Honor Society. In every area, we have found Mr. Gordon an invaluable asset to the Weaver faculty. His patience, un¬ derstanding, and untiring willingness to help, as well as his cheerful and pleasant personality, have made this man a valued friend of both the stu¬ dents and the faculty. 7

MR. EZRA MELROSE Since assuming the duties of principal upon Mr. Aitken’s retirement, Mr. Melrose has proved himself a dedicated leader for Weaver High School. He has been faced with the impressive responsibilities of the office so well filled by his predecessor, and he has succeeded in gaining the respect of every Weaverite. Mr. Melrose’s door is always open to any¬ one, for he remains close to the student body despite the burden of his administrative duties. For this reason, his relationship with his students is a very personal and meaning¬ ful one. As principal, Mr. Melrose heads the Weaver community at work, and he is also the Beavers’ greatest rooter. He has always cheered his team on, and has been a strong advocate of high school athletics.
