MISS IRENE SINELNIK CARRIES OFF SCHOOL HONORS
That Brownsville has a coming suffragette leader in the person of little
Miss Irene SINELNIK, of 1752 Pitkin avenue, was evident from the manner 
she rendered the valedictory at the elaborate graduation exercises of 
Public School No. 84, girls, held at the new auditorium of the school building, 
Stone and Glenmore avenues, Friday afternoon. 

The friends and parents that taxed the auditorium were compelled to rise from 
their seats in order to see the young valedictorian, who is only about 
three feet tall. She managed to secure  the gold medal awarded by the Alumni 
Association for the pupil who secured the highest percentage out of a class of 
68 pupils. This was the first event of its kind given in the new auditorium and 
the first graduation exercises without the presence of District Superintendent 
James J. McCABE, who was unable to attend, owing to illness. 

Addresses to the graduates were delivered by  
Miss Mary DAMMANN, 
Miss Mary FINLEY, 
William B. ROTH and Baruch MILLER.
