~Tom-tom 'Beats To Mr. H. Earle Weaver this tenth anni – versary issue of the Wampum is affec– tionately dedicated. Above all others, Mr. Weaver was the creator and the molder who made from a mass of brick and mortar "the friendly school," where faculty-student relations mean companionship. He was the promo– ter of a progressive school policy by which students assumed greater responsibility for their daytime environment. Feeling strongly that student opinion counts, he has encouraged committees in which stu– dents often far outnumber faculty mem– bers and thus has fostered formulation of school policies by representative groups working in harmony. He has always main– tained an attitude at North of a "square deal," trying to sympathize with the stu– dents' point of view, their problems, and their reactions. Wi II ing, even eager, he gives any new project a fair trial; if the venture proves unsuccessful, he chal – lenges its promoters to find the better way. Rather than strive to match rival schools, he seeks ever to meet the needs of his own students. North has developed in ten years an individuality among Southern Tier high schoo's- one that characterizes so completely that same friendliness, cooperation, and progressive– ness of North's principal- Mr. H. Earle Weaver. Nntinnul Jnnnnr ~nrirtl! of ~tronbary ~r~onl.s issued to Cecelia Steadman Secreto'Y
