Theodore A. Brown M.A. To the Graduates: You of the class of 1953 have the distinct honor of being in the first class to graduate from our new high school building. About this privi- lege you will often reminisce. The unfortunate thing is that you have been able to enjoy the facilities of this most modern school for one-half year only. Being the first class has made you a pace-setting group. I feel that you have done much to set a good example for those who will follow you in becoming graduates of the Palisades High School. My time of working with you has been pleasant but too brief. You have done much to make my first year at Palisades High a good year. May God direct you in all that you choose to do.

Melvin G. Mack M.S, To the Graduates: To you the class of 1953 belongs the privilege of being the first class to graduate from the new Palisades High School building. The building design, plan, and construction reflect the educational purposes of a modern school, and also, offer a distinct interpretation of the culture found in the architecture of the age. What a thrill it was to be able to use a beautiful auditorium, a large pleasant library and a spacious gymnasium. The classroom facilities now provide an opportunity for you to gain many worthwhile educational experiences. However, regardless of the beauty of the school surroundings, the effect that it had on you is the real thing that counts. If you have taken full advantage of the new facilities that were provided for you by the people of the community, then we feel that our efforts have not been in vain. And so in life, take advantage of the opportunities as you meet them, and you will be a credit to yourself and a successful person. We invite you to return often to your Alma Mater and follow its prog- ress and development. Though your stay in the new building has been but a few short months, I know that you wish pleasant school days for the many future graduates of the Palisades High School. To you the class of 1953 accept my congratulations and best wishes for success and happiness. mdao'ny.m4c46 Regional Supe r intendent 10

J. M. Fink M.A. To the Graduates: It is with deep regret that I see you leave our high school. My as- sociations with you have been very pleasant. I would like you to think of Commencement not as the end but of the beginning of your educational process. The purpose of education is, To learn the art of living well. You have made a beginningg learn to excel in it. In these troubled times many or all of you may be called upon for sacrifices of a greater or lesser degree. That is life. History records this struggle of all generations. Remember, no matter how dark the picture, a smile will brighten it: no matter how low the spirit, faith will lighten it. As you leave the portals of Palisades High School, we wish you suc- cess in everything you undertake.
