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 .

MISS ANITA K. ROCHE Miss Roche, our Dean of Girls, plays an important part in the daily activities of Weaver High School. Spending most of her time solving the many and varied problems of the school, she has won the ad¬ miration and respect of all who work with her. As faculty adviser to the Student Council, Miss Roche is ready to assist in any way possible. Her job includes not only advising the Student Council but also lend¬ ing a helping hand with all the social functions of Weaver. A dance, a pep rally, or an assembly—Miss Roche probably has something to do with it. She graciously offered suggestions and encouragement for many projects. The Class of ’63 extends gratitude to the Dean of Girls, Miss Anita K. Roche. ' r V ' . , GIRLS’ LEAGUE EXECUTIVE BOARD SEATED, left to right: Cohen, Hallock, Gilman, Hunt.
