JAMMCA HIGH SCHOOL CLASS ADVISERS To the Class of January 1937: You have my best wishes for your future success. Perhaps I should tell you of the golden opportunities that await you upon graduation, or explain why you should be instantly alert to take active part in helping to construct our new social and economic order. But I leave this to the commencement speakers. I would have you adopt a philosophy of life. Write it down, examine it, revise it and contemplate its true meaning. The least this will do for you will be to enrich your intellectual imagination, and diminish the cocksureness which closes the mind against serious thought. Sincerely, Louis JAHELKA, Senior Class Adviser. Dear Graduates, It has been a real pleasure to me to be your Grade Adviser, and thus to have shared the enthusiasm of your successes, as well as the disappointment of your failure. There will be both in store for you in your future life, you will find. As a message to you all, I should like to quote the lines you have seen on my desk- L'Four things a man must learn to do If he would make his record trueg To think without confusion, clearly, To love his fellow men, sincerelyg To act from honest motives, purely, To trust in God and Heaven, securely. If High School has strengthened you in some or all of these essenf tials, it has done well by you. Your friend, JOSEPHINE D. WILKIN, l g Senior Class Adviser. T To Graduates of January 1937: What will you remember about jamaica High School? Will it be the beautiful location, the bronze doors, the crowded halls? Will it be the clubs and games? The Latin or History mastered and enjoyed? Or will it be the inspiration given by some teacher or fellow student who started you thinking and stirred your ambition? If you have courage and an open mind you will have a chance to help make this a better world. Our best wishes go with you. Sincerely, MABEL Louisa BERNHARD, I e , Dean of Girls. . . . seven
