I feel greatly honored in being asked to be the dedicatee of the William E. Grady Yearbook, Encore, for the coming year, especially as 1954 marks for me the comple- tion of 50 years of service for the children of this City. Unlike other schools in this City, your school has a comparatively short history, yet it can lay claim to many outstanding achievements. Separated as you are in four different buildings, in distant parts of Brooklyn, under the inspiring leadership of your principal, Mr. Philip Becker, and his devoted administrative and teaching staff, these separate units have been welded into a strong student body, intent on obtain- ing the full advantages of general and vocational education. No little share of this achievement belongs to your parents, who as an organized group have supported Mr. Becker, your teachers, and you, in obtaining the approval of the city fathers and the Board of Education in the early erection of a suitable building to bear the proud name of William E. Grady. I am sure that the spirit of William E. Grady is among you and is proud of the fine record of the school bearing his name. The future belongs to you. Yours is the responsibility as pioneers to build a new world. I have every confidence in you and I send you my greetings and God speed! Sincerely, Morris E. Siegel
