Arthur Hughson, Assistant Superintendent of School Districts 35 and 40, who has known Mr. Goldin for many years, as a teacher, assistant prin- cipal, principal of elemen tary schools, and later as principal of junior high schools. John P. McNeill, 'H ' Principal Erasmus Hall High School. Carl Cherkis, . Principal, Prospect Heights High School Maxwell Littwin, Principal, Emeritus J.H.S. 240, Brooklyn I UDuring all the years' service, Mr.Goldin has expressed most ef- fectively a transcending interest in furthering the welfare of his pupils. Many of these pupils, now past middle age, have returned to him for advice and counsel that they have learned to value highly. Mr.Go1din's youthful appearance and buoyant spirit have remained with him. His close contact and keen in- terest in young people have kept him perennially young.n UHeartiest congratulations to Myron Goldin on the completion of - a half century of devoted skillful and self-sacrificing service in the schools of our great city. We can ill afford to lose men of his high intelligence, his lofty profession- al ideals, and his dedicated service far above and beyond the call of duty. The city and our schools are deeply indebted to him. May there be many happy years of leisure ahead for him, each full of all his generous heart desires. Hearti- est greetings and best wishes. I shall miss him keen1y.u NI can think of no better name for a publication that honors Mr. Myron Goldin than the PIONEER, for Mr.Goldin himself was a pioneer in junior high school education, a pioneer in audio-visual education, a pioneer in the field of teaching, a pioneer in educational methodology But most of all Mr.Myron Goldin shbuld be honored for his pioneer spirit in human relations, for this is a man who recognized the value of the individual as distinct from the mass as the target for educa- tional effort, and for this I honor him!! NMyron is a man of many parts: schoolman, philanthropist, author, D06t: and through all these incarna- tions runs the Goldin thread of ver- satility, verse, and vision. Long may he waveln ,
