Medijenf L Wnewage . . To The Graduating Class of Talmudical Academy: You, the students of our Talmudical Academy, and particularly the Graduating Class of 1952 have great reason to rejoice, for your period of transition from boyhood into manhood was spent in the ideal atmosphere of Torah learning and modern culture. I watched your gradual progress and I was inspired by your spirit, and by the selfless devotion of your Roshei hafYeshiva and teachers. I exhort you to remain steadfast in our religious beliefsg in the mode of living and in the ethical and spiritual convictions which are the essence and guiding spirit of our lives. It is only by the immortal truths of the Torah and our sacred traditions, by being 'true to ourselves and our sacred heritage that we can best serve ourselves and our fellovvmen. Gfdliness as the foundation of our livesg obedience to the Divine Law of the Torah, and usefulness for the commonfgood of mankind are the fundamental parts of the training of a Yeshiva man. These sacred values you must always bear in mind, as well as in action. Sincerel fours Y I Q .Siunuef Zgzffein President - fr-

7 rincifm A message .. To the 1952 Graduating Class: Dear Young Friends : The exercises which will take place on june 25, in celebration of the oiiicial termination of your high school course of studies will mark the 34th such occasion since the first graduation in 1919. At that time, a mere handful, but six pioneers, pre- sented themselves for the long sought for award which signified the successful completion of their task. Since the first graduation in 19, several thousand young men have gone forth from our sacred walls. Even a cursory examination of the roster of names which is printed in our high school alumni bulletin will cause the heart of every selffrespecting jew to swell with pride and satisfaction. Among their number one will find not only rabbis and religious leaders and teachers, bu't representatives in all walks of life, are amply and honorably presented in this list. Every part of our country, every segment of our national Jewish life, is permeated and enriched by the contributions which our grad- uates have to offer to make up the sum total of human experience. As we look back with justifiable and pardonable pride upon the thousands who have preceeded you, we can only hope and pray that you, their younger brothers, will follow in their footsteps. We pray that you will hold precious those high standards and lofty ideas of citizenship and service, of faith in, and loyalty to our American democracy that we have tried to inculcate in you, and that you will put into living practice, and uphold in your daily lives, the sacred laws and traditions of our Holy Torah. May you prove a source of pride and joy to your parents and your Alma Mater! Sincerely yours, .Sade csialadire Principal 1 SCUGH --
