Weequahic High School - Legend Yearbook (Newark, NJ)

Message to the Class of January 1937 RADUATION, os no doubt you learned in your English classes, comes from a Latin word that means step. You are talcing a momentous step this January— a step forward, we all hope. As you leave the halls of Weequahic High School, carry one thought with you: your education should continue, whether your schooling does or not. To stop learning is to stop growing. Pick out some good intellectual hobby— say archaeology or astronomical mathematics or the higher reaches of contract bridge —and make a life study of the subject. And if any of you gets to be a millionaire, remember that Weequahic's Scholarship Fund can use $50,000 or even $100. MAX J. HERZBERG
