THE ORACLE 9 JAMAICA HIGH SCHOOL jamaica, New York MEMBERS OF THE GRADUATIXG CLASS OF JUNE, 1926: Dear Girls and Boys: The press of work which always comes at this time of the year, added to complications arising in our new building, have made it impossible for me to attend any of your class meetings and express in person many of the things which I wish to tell you. This short letter will have to take the place of these personal contacts. You are about to leave the place where you have spent four happy, and I hope, profitable years. VVe. your teachers. are sorry to see you go, as many of you have made deep and lasting impressions on our hearts. VVe wish you all success in the work which you expect to follow after graduation. Let me force upon you one last word of advice-keep in touch with your surroundings by reading constantly the best things. The young people of these days are getting the movie habit. Everything must be presented to them in picture form, whether on the streen or by means of tabloid news- papers. The eye is trained, but the sustained effort of the mind suffers. You young people need to train the power of concentration, which can only be accomplished through reading literature which causes you to think. Although you will graduate from this old building, I w.ant you all to feel that the new Jamaica High School is your alma mater and that you will always be welcome. Come and tell us of your successes as well as your troubles. You will find in your teachers and principal sympathetic listeners. I VVISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK. Sincerely yours, CHARLES Hp VOSBURGI-I.
