Graduates A From the vantage-point of forty-two y-ears of con- tinuous relationship with Yeshiva Ivniversity High School lTalmudical Academyl, the last forty-two years as its principal, I have been a witness to its phenomenal growth from a mere handful of pupils and teachers in tight and squalid quarters on the lower east side of New York, to its present home in the solid granite, brick. and steel structure on the upper west side of our city. I have seen it grow from a school with fewer students than the present number of faculty members, from a few-and-twenty youngsters in their early teens to its present en- rollment of nearly four hundred young men be- tween thirteen and eighteen years of age. During that period of time I have seen over three hundred thousand young men land young women, if we include our two Brooklyn Yeshiva Ivniversity high schoolsl go forth from these sacred halls to continue their education, most of them in our own Yeshiva and its College, and some in other institu- tions of learning. What advice. what counsel, can I give you on the threshold of your young manhood? Perhaps I can put it briefly by saying that in your endeavors and strivings for the future, make sure that you will be preparing yourselves not so much for making a living, important as that may be, but for making a life. Try to separate the trees from the forest. Donlt heed slogans and do not follow blindly the leadership of the blind, Think for your- selves and try to figure out what will be best for you in the life you are planning to lead. - . '15 ' i ET I K. f 1 When you go to College, as everyone ofiyou will, try to enroll in those courses that will lead to the development of a full, a complete personality. Make your education as broad as possible. Do not load up on sciences because the present trend, what- ever the causes may be, is to worship at the feet of mathematics and sciences, Remember you will have to live in an environment in which you will come in contact with all kinds of people. You will have to learn to get along with them and to speak their language. A very wise man once said that the truly edu- cated man is one who has contact with many of the facets of one's environment. In planning your education give due place to mathematics and the sciences, for we are living in a highly scientific age, but do not neglect the humanities-the social studies, languages, English, music, art, and the others. Plan wisely and make the base of your cultural background as wide and broad as possible. Take care not to become only an efficient engin- eer, a capable physician, a well-trained teacher, an eloquent lawyer, a shrewd business man, a learned rabbi, but, with it all, a shallow and ignorant man. I wish you good luck in all your endeavors, and expect that you will so conduct yourselves in the future as to reflect honor, and glory, and happi- ness on your parents, and on all those who have had a hand in the shaping of the formative years of your lives.

P+ A Mr. Horn eaves YUHS Mr. David M. Horn, who taught in YUHS since 1950, left the school last February. During his stay at Yeshiva, Mr. Horn was noted for his active work with student publications and activities. Mr. Horn's record with the Yeshiva organization was quite formidable. In 194-6, he began teaching at B.T.A., and was one of the first teachers at Central Yeshiva. In 1948, he left to teach at the Roosevelt School in Hyde Park. Soon after, he returned to Central and, in 1950, began teaching at YUHS. Since that time he served our school in many different capacities. In addition to being an outstanding English teacher, Mr. Horn taught art and founded Themes, He was the advisor of many class councils and was also faculty advisor of The Ledger and the lnterscholas- tic Debating Team. Mr. Horn was the dramatics coach under whose able guidance several sucessful senior plays were produced. In his last few months in YUHS he helped organize this year's outstanding senior presentation of Stalag 17. 4?4i1:2af:2fga:1-.-iff,.'
