DEDICATION We, the graduating class of January 1953, are proud and pleased to dedicate this “Legend” to our parents. Many times we have tried to thank you verbally for the love and guidance you have given us, but we have been confronted with the problem of finding only a lump in our throats. For firmly taking us by the hand and safely guiding 11s along the rough and rugged path of life, we are grateful for this opportunity of expressing our sincere thanks to you, our Parents.

ft Irvin; J. Goldberg CLASS ADVISER Our yearbook could not be complete without a special note of thanks to our beloved grade adviser, Mr. Goldberg. It is not an easy task — playing part-time father to 190 oft-confused teen-agers. Many times our problems have seemed insurmountable, but Mr. Goldberg’s understanding and sense of humor have always shown us the way. We shall not soon forget. 4 ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft !- -JL

x! ft ft ft To the Class of January 1953 XV ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft (Hichael Corovitz “All are needed by each one Nothing is fair or good alone” Ralph Waldo Emerson PRINCIPAL For four long exciting years you have worked together, played together ami suffered (?) together. You have had many common experiences. You have ready many of the same books. You have studied many of the same lessons. You have had many of the same teachers. From all of these you have learned both consciously and unconsciously. The record of your conscious learnings appears on your report cards, in your Calumet and “Legend” and in your trophy cases. Your unconscious learnings lie deep within you. Some day in the near or distant future, you will think of a problem solved at Weequahic and the memory of that solution will help you to solve a problem of life. One day you will think of a wise word uttered by a teacher or friend at school and it will guide you to a wise decision. Some day you will recall an amusing incident of your high school days and your reminiscent chuckle will help to carry you over a low moment. And so your common experiences and your common learnings at Weequahic have bound you together more firmly than you now realize. Wherever you meet one another ten, twenty, thirty and more years from today, you will clasp hand gladly, your eyes will light up with pleasure and you will joyously re-live the good old days .
