Already 1953 has become im- portant as the year of the inauguration of President Eisenhower, as the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of New York City, and as the seventy-fifth anniversary of the birth of Girls High School.

We trust that for the rest of your lives you will demonstrate by your actions that you are conscientious citizens of America and ardent followers of the abiding values. A survey of the American Scene which you have selected as the theme of your yearbook should convince you more and more as the years pass how our country through frequent trials and renewed efforts has struggled inlationalifloriginslcan, rssi wt-f'dv,l Qf - :Girls stcr t t ,-,c- 95 GLY? 59 r l out school, we ,gkgt ZV, ,i,: 1 V-,, 1 g'., 1 , sssls t rrci -is tsrsi -z'-sz' hlsrztlr 'h-s'cv, rstrsl ' svdlihs,f21'fssf'0f1G'et,,1re9f4'd of all l l Yours with all good wishes, Hortense H.
