Our Four Years Enter to grow in body, mind and spirit . . . that was our aim when we entered Fort Hamilton High School in September, 1950. At that time we were foun years younger and though we hate to admit it, we looked and acted four years younger. It took those four years at Fort Hamilton to make us seniors but in that time we have grown and learned a great deal. Our minds as well as our bodies have grown and everything that we have learned has found its place in our minds and take.n root there. Much of this knowledge we have stored away for future reference. During these four years, however, much has been happening in the world about us. Tremendous changes have taken place in the fields of politics, economics, of international relations, of science and indus- try. We have been made aware of these changes and their influence upon us-on our body, our mind, our spirit-largely because of what we have been taught at Fort Hamilton. All this growth and maturity which marks our entrance into the adult world, either that of business or that of college, has been definitely hastened as a result of Fort Hamilton High School's line and practical ideals. Now that we are leaving Fort Hamilton, we like to feel that every graduate of the class of june 1954 is departing to serve better his God, his country and his fellow man. judy Ciano 'joanne Gordon 7

March, 1954 Dear Graduates: Last Christmas a group of you made a generous gift to a charitable institution, which responded by means of a poem. The sentiment appealed to me so much that I slipped the poem under the glass on my desk, where it serves to refresh my spirits from time to time. Who Does Goofs Work Will Get God's Pay Who does God's work will get God's pay, However long may seem the day, However weary be the way. Though powers and princes thunder nay! No human hand God's hand can stay, Who does His work will get His pay. God hurries not, nor makes delay, Who works for Him will get His pay, Some certain hour, some certain day. He does not pay as others pay, In gold or land or raiment gay, In goods that perish and decay. But God's high wisdom knows a way, And this is sure, let come what may, Who does God's work will get God's pay. Sincerely yours, 10N B. LEDER Principal
