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. Through his dedicated service to Weaver High School and to the entire community, Mr. Melrose has earned the respect of all who know him, especially the Class of 1963 .

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
