the executives of the race is Miss Celia P. Conklin School Nurse, R.N. Albany Hospital TO THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1953: You will become the kind of a person you want to become! The world will ultimately accept you at the value set by your own efforts and ideals. By the time you are thirty, what you are will show even in your face. To a large degree your career success will de- pend upon your ability to gain the confidence and co-operation of your associates and superiors. Never be satisfied with your second best, no matter how unimportant the occasion. You never know when your measure is being taken by others, but you can be always ready when your own self-respect stands con- stant guard. When in doubt, select the wisest, kindliest, most successful person you know of, go to him for advice, and then follow that advice. Do not be afraid to approach a great man or woman. If properly ap- proached, a truly great person is always willing to extend a helping hand. And finally, always be encouraged by these true words of Booker T. Washington, who rose from slavery to a college presidency: I believe that any man's life will be filled with constant and unexpected en- couragements if he but make up his mind to do his level best each day. Arthur W. Silliman Supervising Principal M.A., Columbia University M., k , , .. , K .mg Miss Annette L. Gimbel Secretary to the Principal Absent: Mrs. Marion Brown

to mr. frank kluge We dedicate this yearbook to a teacher whose sincere and humorous understanding of his pupils has made him our beloved and respected friend-Mr. Frank Kluge. Because of his clear logic and quick thinking, mathematics has become a living experience for us, and thanks to his ready help, it has become easier for many. For years he has given much of his time to train- ing the Junior Varsity basketball team, and his coaching has prepared many star players for our Varsity. His personal interest in his driving classes will help to make the high- ways of the future safer. With gratitude and appreciation we dedi- cate this 1953 ARDSLEYAN to you, Mr. Kluge, and we hope that for many years the students of Ardsley High School will continue to learn under your inspiring influence. geometry class in chemistry laboratory
