BERG Principal - High School M. DOUGLAS SACKMAN Director - Pupil Personnel High School Class of June, 1964 East Rockaway High School East Rockaway, New York Dear Seniors: You have now reached the point of finishing an important phase of your life and of beginning another. As you look back, a long time ago—some thirteen years—you entered kindergarten. Yet, your education began before then. Your father and mother were your first teachers. They taught you to speak, to read, and to understand. They also taught you to distinguish right from wrong. They had, and still have, your best interests at heart. Since kindergarten your teachers have worked with you to help you prepare yourself for life. They opened doors for you in the arts, sciences, humanities, and communication skills. They were also very much interested in having you develop strong and desirable character traits. As you look back, I hope that you can say that you always gave your best to the task at hand. If you did, you are well prepared for life, and I congratulate you. If you did not give your best, you still have life's lesson to learn. However, it is not too late. You are now on the threshold of many opportunities through which you can improve yourself, and I challenge you to do so. So as you leave East Rockaway High School to pursue your goals in life, always take pride in your work and you will be proud of your accomplishments. Be inquisitive and curious. Be enthusiastic and perseverant. Be systematic and thorough. Always give your best to the task at hand. Best wishes for the future, f £Lu 9 William K. Louis Superintendent
