NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT THE NEW HAVEN HIGH SCHOOL c. 1. K1RscHNER,Pnnein-1 April 7, 1916. Mr. Harry Labov Business Manager 1916 Class Book Dear Sir: In reply to your recent request I am pleased to give these few words to the Class of Nineteen Hundred Sixteen. The Mayor of a Massachusetts city not far from Bos- ton prepared a lecture on the nAssets of Our City,W illustrated with lantern slides showing the many attrac- tive features of the city. The city was noted for its wealth, its beautiful homes, its generous citizens, its thriving manufacturing industriesg its broad, well paved avenues: its parks, play grounds and public buildings. It was, in fact, an ideal city. The Mayor delivered this lecture in every ward in the city, and also before many clubs, societies and other organizations. One lantern slide, the last one, he referred to as showing the greatest and most valuable of the city's assets. He elaborated upon this, and then showed the picture--that of as many high school pupils as could be grouped in one picture,--Hour great- est assetn. And what is true of that Massachusetts city should be true of New Haven. It will be true just as far as the Class of Nineteen Hundred Sixteen is willing to make it so. May not the City of New Haven feel the influence, character and noble example of the Class of Nineteen Hundred Sixteen? May not her citizens be able to de- clare in no uncertain terms that its free public high school is its greatest asset? I trust they may. Sincerely yours, CLKXGSB
