1950 THE PACKER COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE Brooklyn New York

Page 9 text:

A SCHOOL or college yearbook is in a class by itself. It is not sought for in any lending library. It would command a small fraction of its cost at a newsstand. A person without association with the institution from which it originates would give it only a passing inspection. And yet it has great worth. For the one who owns it, it is almost priceless when it is published; it adds value as it adds years, changing from a mere record to a poignant reminder, a reminder of pleasant happenings and friends who were fun, when these happenings and friends have become vague and dream-like. It is more than a book: it is a gathering of fellow students and an avenue of associa- tions and a pattern of a way of life. I know this Pelican of 1949-1950 is a good one and that it will be cherished by each owner. I am pleased to be the spokesman of all Packer in congratulating the stu- dent staff and faculty advisers upon the excellence of their work and in thanking them for their many long hours of effective toil. All of us are indebted to them and we join in saying: It ' s a fine job. We thank you. fiuU - M M
