Phyllis Smith offered both the invocation and the benediction. The general theme for the student speakers was Our Democratic Creed with the following sub-topics: Declaration of Faith— Marian Thorne and Robert Tanner; Meaning of Freedom— Susie Jacob and Norma Schleff; The Future We Face— Mary Prince and Bernard Boylan; Tribute to the Boys in Service—Stanley Kosinski and James Frederick. American Legion awards were presented by H. A. Doherty, and school awards by Principal F. R. Stroube . Supt. Virgil Bailey presented the diplomas, those long looked-for regards. Class Prophecy It was in the year 1954 and I was vacationing in the South, when I suddenly thought of good old Edison High School, back in East Gary. I thought of the swell times we had had in Edison and wondered what had become of all my classmates. I wished that I could see them all again; therefore, I de- cided to take a trip back home. Within a. day or two I was on my way. The train stopped in many beautiful cities, but my interest was not aroused until we reached more familiar territory — Chicago. I pur- chased an evening paper at one of the newsstands. After read- ing the news, I happened to glance at the Sport Page, and there to my amazement was a picture of one of my classmates with headlines below the picture saying, Baker Hits Home Run for Cubs in World Scries. For a while I couldn ' t believe it, but then I remembered what a good ball player Bob was in School. I decided to stay in Chicago for a while before I jour- neyed further. As I was walking down Michigan Avenue, who should I run into but Bettye Karsa ! She was wearing a beauti- ful mink coat, and was carrying a Pekingese dog in her arms. She told me she was married to a well-known movie actor and was residing in Chicago for a short time. As she was quito well-known in society, I was very eager for her to accompany me to a stage play for which I had purchased tickets previ- ously; but she declined, saying she was expecting a call from her husband.
