TO THE STUDENTS OF THE TEXTILE HIGH SCHOOL: I IT gives me greaT pleasure To exTend To you, aT The end of The TirsT year in our new TexTiIe High School,.greeTings. My mind oTTen runs back over The pasT ThirTeen years To The Tall of I9I9 when The school was esTabIished in old P. S. 26, I24 WesT 3OTh STreeT. Public School 26 is sTiIl one of The annexes oT The school. In The Tall oT I9l9 The TexTile High School was esTablished wiTh 84 sTu- denTs and The TirsT graduaTion Took place in June, I92I. One oT our presenT insTrucTors, Mr. OresTes STanley Lapolla, was a member oT our TirsT graduaTing class. Mrs. VanBrunT, our senior clerk, was The clerk assigned To The school. No comparison can be made beTween The school sTarTed in l9I9 and The presenT new building excepT ThaT The sTudenT body in boTh cases was land isl very serious. The opening of The TexTile High School was in a building wiThouT equipment wiTh a poor gas IighTing sysTem, and primary school TurniTure. The members OT The TirsT class spenT Their Time during shop periods removing parTiTions,' coal lockers, primary school TurniTure, insTalling shelves, laboraTory Tables, and machinery. DespiTe all The obsTacles placed in The way of The TTrsT graduaTing class I Teel ThaT every one has succeeded in securing a promi- nenT posiTion in professional, business, or arT IiTe. They were serious young men and received an eTTecTive educaTion according To PresidenT EllioTT's Theory oT educaTionaI value- All subiecTs have The same menTal power if pursued wiTh The same inTeresT, same Time alloTmenT, and same purpose. These young men received Their educaTion amidsT The many obsTacles oT pioneer work oT esTablishing The school. I do really believe These sTudenTs received a Training equal To ThaT given To The sTudenTs in our new building. IT is True ThaT Today we have beTTer equipmenT buT whaT was lacking in equipmenT in The TirsT class was compensaTed by Their greaT inTeresT and by power provoked Through overcoming diTTiculTies and obsTacles. IT The TirsT graduaTing class achieved such high honor and accomplished so much under so many diTficuITies, The presenT graduaTing class oughT To do more and be an even greaTer crediT To The school. I hold up To our sTudenTs in The school Today The work oT our TirsT gradu- aTes in achieving scholarship, service, and characTer. WILLIAM H. DOOLEY. Page Three
