I)r. Howard E. Mkrity Ol It SI IM ItlM I XDCVr To the Claw of 1947: “Know thyself. Such knowledge will open the portals of learning to the world in which you live.” It is a world that needs trained men and women: therefore, 1 congratulate you for having made one more investment in knowledge that will bring dividends. From this day forth, each student's path in life will he of his own choosing. Some may enter the business world; others may go to college, especially to our Junior College, which is one of the recent experiments in American education, to fill a community need in Bayonne City. Never in the history of the universe have educated minds been more in demand. We are endeavoring to meet that demand by preparing young people for significant service. Our Junior College offers additional opportunity for higher education that will enable ambitious people to become responsible participants in city affairs. The Junior College is coeducational. Its chief purpose is to give a two year program that will prepare college-minded students for a transfer to higher institutions. It will meet the practical needs of those who do not desire, or cannot afford four years of college. It helps those who are too young to obtain the best values of a four year college. It also offers terminal courses for students who can attend for only two years. The well-rounded program that high school has given will make of you desirable citizens; and. with higher education at your disposal, the world has a right to expect of you clear thinking and intelligent leadership. May each of you realize that it is a moral obligation to make the most of life. May each one reach his goal. May each do his best to make a maximum contribution to our democracy, which will develop in accordance with the expansion of the level of intelligence of the people of the United States, and in so doing, may each 1m deserving of our pride in you as graduates of the Bayonne High School. To vou I extend best wishes. 10

MR. JOHN J. MULLEN To Bayonne High School, Mr. Mullen came as no stranger. During World War II, he served as acting Principal in Doctor Hohinson's place. The welcome that he received when he assumed his duties in 1946 was given in a special way; not with cheers or applause, hut with respect. mJMCATIO.Y . . . Mr. Mullen was well equipped, and so capably handled the position, that the advancement of his predecessor to the Junior College, left Mr. Mullen the logical man for the Senior High School. His warmth of heart and his ability in meeting problems have made him an able leader. By his strong interest in all that concerns the welfare of the school, Mr. Mullen has made his presence felt. He has won the reputation of possessing dignity, and a dominant personality. May his integrity of life, his earnestness of endeavor, and his quality of achievement, add a brilliant chapter to the history of the school. Principal. John Mullrn. and Assistant Principal, Gabriel Stabile. Get Together A Winning Smile'
