Do tlte Cfaii of 54 Through these doors you entered os curious boys ond girls, full of hope and enthusiasm, but shy, uncertain, and somewhat confused. You learned quickly that the friendly attitude of teachers ond students would make your school days pleasant. A well-rounded program of education with a broad curriculum and varied extra-curricular activities was offered for your consideration. Through these doors you saw opportunities to develop your minds and use your time in a manner most profitable to you. You soon became accli- mated to new surroundings and made lasting friend- ships. You took advantage of the opportunities offered by the school. Through these doors you have grown in stature— mentally, physically, and spiritually. Now, you leave as young men and women and take with you on educational background that will help you make a life as well as a living. You will take with you many memories that will give you everlasting pleasure. You have learned of your rights os American citizens. Even more important, you have learned of your duties and obligations. Your contributions will moke ours a greater country. You are the first graduating class under my new tenure as Superintendent of the Perth Amboy Schools. For three years I worked with you as your Vice-Principal. I shall always cherish the friend- ships and stimulation from this association. My best wishes to the Class of '54! Anthony V. Ceres 4. Anthony V. Ceres. LL.B., M.Ed.
