The students from Behrman were seniors selected by the teachers of the United State-s History classes The program at Wright began in the High School auditorium where the students were addressed by several dignitaries, among whom were Mr. William Fitzpatrick, editor of the New Orleans States, and Pulitzer Prize winnerg and the Reverend James Greeley, S. J. Both of these men are Freedoms Foundation award winners.
