W£ RfCfIVf best wishes for future success, commendations for continuing the good reputation of West Side while here and some parting words of advice. Perhaps you have heard me say that this is a wonderful age in which to be born and grown up. It is certainly an exciting time with its space shots, preparations to land on the moon and Telestar. Nor is science the only field to engage our imaginations. We are living in a humanitarian age. a time of emerging African countries, of the growth of underdeveloped countries and of the break-through winning of real democracy for all groups in our own country. Astronaut Walter Schirra and University of Mississippi student James Meredith made newspaper headlines at the same time. In other words, we can enjoy the fact that we are growing in an age that holds out much hope for better things for all men. To get the full advantage of this age. I do advise you to get more skills and education than you now have. We need electronic technicians, carpenters, computer servicemen and other skilled personnel as much as we need engineers and doctors. In addition. I advise you to become an active citizen—to get the facts about the needs of your community and to work hard to make your city and country better for all of us. MR. CHARLES BRODSKY Principal MR. ALVIN PANZER Vice-Principal “NOW let s talk it over . . . Mr. Brodsky converses with seniors Lorraine Hyde. Clinton Perry. Shirley Milton, and Joe Parlapiano.
