Data collected for an alumni register for Yeshiva High School reveals that of the 360 graduates of the school, 46 have been holders of State scholarships, an average of 13 per cent throughout the ten years; 325, or 90 per cent of the graduates continued their higher education and of those who have had time to complete their college work 70 per cent have received their degrees.
Professions claimed many graduates. Thirty-eight of the Yeshiva alumni are teachers, mainly in the elementary and secondary schools of New York. Others are fellows and instructors at colleges and universities, including the University of Michigan, Columbia and Yale. Thirty-two of the alumni are rabbis, occupying orthodox Jewish pulpits in synagogues throughout the country. Forty-six are lawyers; six doctors. The remainder are pursuing non-professional lines of work or are still engaged in study at institutions of higher learning.
