MY DEAR GRADUATES In your journey through life, the di- mension of time is even more meaningful than the dimensions of space. No equiva- lent period of time in the future will con- tribute more to your growth and develop- ment than the years you have spent in our Long Beach schools. Time is priceless. Strive to live every day as fully as you can, never forgetting that contemplation is as essential as action. My congratulations to you and your parents. DAVID G.

Board of Education MR. JEROME P. MURTHA MR. GEORGE B. COSTIGAN President MR. NATHAN I. KAMINOW GENTLEMEN: It is unusual for the Senior Class to write this article to the Board of Education instead of you writing to us. But with the contrariness inherent in people of our age, we have decided to be different and show, you the Board, what we think of you, for MR. SEYMOUR PESTRONK We rarely ever get an opportunity to say thank you. We think that you must have infinite patience, and interest to bother with us. We are daily transformed from child to student, transported and sheltered, ready to learn. All this through your efforts. We thank you for doing this from the bottom of our collective heart, for directing us toward the goal of happy useful citizens. And we hope that in future life we will all do credit to the high standards of dignity and honesty of the Long Beach school system. Sincerely, CLASS OF '56 MR. SYDNEY HELSINGER 5 fx- :- A 4

DEAR SENIQRS: Time passes quickly, most of it happily and now and then painfully slow. As Freshman, time was plentiful, it was excit- ing, something to look forward to. As Sophomores, time slowed up to almost a standstill and was somewhat painful now and then. As Juniors, you felt growing pains, your awareness of things about you increased, you began to see individuals where before you saw mostly people, trees instead of woods. Your laugh quieted down, you ran less, you discovered dignity and derived pleasure in assuming the re- sponsibility of growing up. As Seniors, now you have arrived, you are really there. Where before mind and body were often disunited, now all things are fused into a oneness, complete and also replete. It has been a joy to see you grow and to grow with youg challenging at times, but always exciting, interesting and stim- ulating. We are proud of you and feel that you will face the future well prepared, happy and with utmost confidence. Affectionately, JOSEPH BORZILLERI N i r F MR. JOSEPH S.
