DEDICATED TO Dear Graduates, Thank you for dedicating the June 1957 AURORA to me. I deem it a great honor. As I write these words I picture you a few weeks from now, in your caps and gowns. Commencement is a joyous. impressive and exciting occasion. It marks an important milestone in your lives, a goal successfully attained. But at the same time it also heralds a moment of decision. After graduation, what? For a cogent answer to this query, let us briefly take stock. During the past four years you have learned many skills, absorbed a large number of facts, and amassed a considerable amount of knowledge. Of equal value to these are the intangibles to which you have been exposed and which have undoubtedly left their mark. From your social studies you should have acquired a feeling for tolerance. justice. and democracyg from your study of mathematics and science a realization of the value of order. logic, truth and honesty, from your music, art, and literature an awareness and appreciation of beauty. From my contacts with you in the classroom and in my capacity as grade adviser I know that most of you have a real thirst for knowledge and a keen desire for self-improvement. Thus equipped, the future presents a hopeful challenge for you. This is a time when our nation urgently needs a large number of highly-trained, educated young men and women. Opportunities abound in all fields. In selecting a career, take a long view, choose carefully and prepare thoroughly, and your reward will surely be a useful, meaningful and rich life. Congratulations upon your graduation, and my very best wishes for the successful fulfillment of all your future hopes and aspirations. Sincerely yours, Haskel Epstein l-IASKEL EPSTEIN

LUDWIG KAPHAN The members of the faculty and the students of Thomas Jefferson High School deeply regret that Mr. Ludwig Kaphan is retiring after having been our principal since 1941. We shall miss his words of wisdom at assembly programs. his interest and counsel in the alfairs of the G.O.. his willingness to help any student or teacher who needed help. his warmth and sense of humor. He believed that the students are the most important part of any school and he inspired the faculty to do their utmost to give every student an opportunity to develop to the best of his ability. He was intensely interested in the affairs of the community and did much to establish the East New York Youth and Adult Center. His very busy and inspiring life as an educator and administrator is coming to a close. but his vitality. his versatility and his vital interest in those who need help indicate a rich and full life ahead of him. Our sincere hope is that Mr. Kaphan may find the happiness and satis- faction in the future that he has had in the past. A TRIBUTE
