PRAISE FOR MR. GOLDIN We dedicate these words of praise to Myron R,Goldin who has served the New York schools for half a century. 'k'kk Our beloved principal. Mr. Myron Goldin, a man of high ideals, is completing fifty years of service to the public schools of our city. In his years at Walt Whitman Junior High School, he has shown deep in- terest not only in the mental and intellectual development of his stu- dents, but also in their health and welfare. He has been responsible for the appointment of many excell- ent teachers, and has skillfully supervised teaching procedures. He has, moreover, very wisely ap- plied himself to the task of enforc ing strict regulations governing fire drills, school sanitation especially in the lunchroom, and safety. After graduation from Townsend Harris High School and the City College of New York, Mr.Goldin ob- tained his Master's Degree in educa tion at Columbia University. As a young man he had many interests notably in the theatre where his special achievement was in directing. 48? Q? His educational experience was likewise enriched by extensive tra- vel in Central America, Europe, and the United States. For relaxation, Mr,Goldin enjoys golfing, tennis, and swimming. He collects stamps and devotes himself to photography. He is a lover of opera and symphonic musie. He also takes an active part in the Alumni Association of CCNY, and would you believe----he is an expert reader of palms: --a veritable fortune teller! His many associates and friends find him a friendly, kind, and easy- going person, plus an aggressive fighter for progress in education. As the moment of Mr.Goldin's re- tirement draws near. the prospect fills us with sadness. It will be difficult for us to part with a man whom we all respect, admire and love. Yet, we cannot begrudge him the years of well-earned 1eisure.We hope they will be filled by the fruitful pursuit of his interests and brightened by the memories of his many friends. We assure Mr. Goldin that we, his students, will cherish our association with him. Michael Olson Lawrence Corneck '39 . ge Q -- Q 6 9

TO MYRON R. Q-QLDIN This is the measure of the man, These things and more does he possess, That those who meet him feel at once A sense of warmth and kindlinessg That children greet him with a smile, And love his ready humor and his wit His keen appreciation of their work, Compassion for the wrongs which they commit. This is the nature of the man, That he is big in little things, Disdaining hollow ritual and sham, And brave to meet the challenge each day bringsg An understanding heart for those who fail, A zest for living with the warmth of youth, An instinct for his fellow men, A fearless fighter for progress and for truth. How shall we judge him, how his worth attest? This is the measure - this the endg Of all that man achieves,this is by far the best, That all who know him, call him friend. .W Edith'F Dillenberg -s-1 L. ..... ..- I .... .T - .1- ,, ......-. mm ,,,. bel- - - - -li W,.....1..?,-.. g ,- -1- , . . ,..- -.- ... .7-. 11.-L . b 'l 1'-'M .rm . 1... ii-9,--.i --.- ,.1ea...., .,-... ,,.. , . -.. . ...
