r - w A 'rEAcHEn's DEATH IS more tragic than that of any other human being hecause he leaves behind a generation of moum- ers. Students into whom lsador Mandell had breathed life hear of his death and try to reconstruct a picture of the man in their minds. He was a memher of the History De- partment and Senior Adviser for the graduating classes of Seward Parh High School. He was a manuiwho enjoyed life, who delved deeply into its mystery to find beauty and mean- ing. He profitedfrom his reading, painted as a hohhy, and in general reveled in the finer things of life. To the very last, he worhed hard because as he said, I have so many things todo. Everyone that knew him, hnew him for what he was. Since he consid- ered man his hest friend, it was not unusual to find him trying so hard to help everyone hetter himself. He was tolerant of everyone, hind to au. He had a smile and an encouraging word for everyhody he met. Faculty and student alike loved him. It is fitting, therefore, that this issue of the Almanac he dedicated to lsador Mandell.

PER IINNEL lllllEU'l'0It Dear Graduates, At Seward Park we have tried to foster a feeling of belonging to each other so that learning takes place in and out of class among partners rather than rivals. We have tried to cultivate in you your special talents in sports. music, and art, commerce, mathematics, language, and science. Each has developed a different trait of your personality and thus has led to your uniqueness. The greatest virtue of all, however, is the fostering of cooperation with the community. Our school has encouraged social action of a high order -- stoclcings for invalids, fumiture for the veterans, contributions for cancer relief and support for many philanthropies. We have many things to he grateful for. Our country at great sacrifice has emerged from a war with its liberties unimpaired. The greatest of these is our right to develop mind and soul tree from fear or coercion -1 provided that we do not interfere with the equal rights of others. Large sections of our population are heneliciaries of civil liberties formerly denied them, and all the people through social security are finding freedom from want. The championship and extension of such rights hecome our responsibility at home and ahroad. Carry these principles into action: democratic living, creative thinking, social service, and helping others to enjoy these priceless possessions. Cordially yours, Woolf Colvin Principal
