FAREWELL In the past, Walt Whitman's alumni have brought honor to our school by winning Westinghouse scholarships, awards in history and science, and other honors in various fields. We, graduating from Walt Whitman this year, hope to add to this outstanding record. Many of us are members of the Arista Society or have achieved distinction by making the Honor Roll. As we leave Walt Whitman to go to Erasmus, Wingate, Stuyvesant, Tech, High School of Performing Arts, and other schools, we feel sure that we are well prepared in the areas of scholarship and service. When we entered this school three short years ago, we were very small physically and limited scholastically. But what wonders these years have done for us! Many of us have turned into giants and all of us have developed our minds. Walt Whitman has presented us with many opportunities to develop special skills. In the shops, the boys learn electronics, printing, metalwork, and woodwork. The girls study homemaking, millinery, and novelties. In these shops boys and girls work under expert teachers who guide talented pupils into special fields. Many service opportunitieshave also been offered at Walt Whitman especially with the Service and Cafeteria Squads. Members ofthesq as well as of other squads, devel- op a sense of responsibilty, de- pendability, and school loyalty. Now, as we bid our school fare- well, we do not find it easy to say good-bye. We will always remem- ber the teachings of Mr.Goldin and the members of his excellent facul- ty, as we continue in the higher fields of education. We will prq- ceed with confidence because we know we are well equipped. Richard Lask JILI-8: 77 7, Q W
