J4 Wc'55age .Cl-om Our prilvcilya It is with a great deal of pleasure that I address these few remarks to members of the Senior Class. Your efforts at publishing a year book are worthy of great com- mendation and I desire to express to you my appreciation of the fine spirit which has moved you in undertaking this very difhcult task. Allow me to congratulate you on the success of your accomplishment in this, our first Year Book. You are about to leave school after having spent four years in con- scientious effort and you have established a record which is rea'ly worth while. I hope that you will steadily cling to the ideals which you have set up for yourselves while in attendance at this school. I wish for you the greatest possible success in finding employ- ment which will be to your liking and hope that you will never forget to turn back to your old school when you are in need of help of any kind. You boys who leave school and take your places in the industry for which you have trained, are the greatest achievement of which a school is capable. Upon the record which you make depends the future success of your fellow students. Always maintain the fine name of the Brooklyn High School of Automotive Trades by fair dealing, honest workmanship and an ever increasing desire to further your education. If you do this you will be a credit to your parents, to us and to yourselves and will be living symbols of the motto which is carved in stone over the main entrance of our new school - Manhood. Service, Labor, Citizenship.

.24 message iam l'. 3cL6JcLow ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT Your publication deserves an honored place among school papers, for it will serve your distinguished school as a condensing mirror to bring to a focus of burning interest the diversified activities conducted 'by the Brooklyn High School of Automotive Trades. In divers ways you will record your successful efforts to harness Power in the service of man - to make the automobile not only an ef- ficient machine of propulsion but also an agency for promoting a richer, fuller, and better life. For unless a machine serves life and makes it more meaningful, it becomes the master of man, and he its servant and subordinate, often to be crushed by it. The releasing of the power stored up in gasoline by the quickening touch of the electric spark, and its proper control by the driver, is symbolic of a great purpose your school is serving, which it will never ignore. There is latent intellectual and spiritual power in the student body, await- ing its release by the ignition of supreme interests. Under the stimulation of your devoted teachers and supervisors, this higher power is set free as trained intelligence, right will, warm sympathies, and ennobling loyalties. Power is your watchwordg power in its two aspects - Physical and Spiritual. Power to serve and power to blessg power for efficiency and power for happinessg power of motion and power of emotion and noble feeling. Here are two sides of the radiant bow of promise that spans the shore of today and the 'alluring strand of -the morrow, May you pass over this arch to the land where wishes are fulfilled -and 'hopes realized, OSWALD SCHLOCKOW, Arrirtant Superintendent of Srboolr.
