From CLASS OF 1944 (Sender's Name) EDISON HIGH SCHOOL (Sender's Address) GARY, INDIANA OUR FELLOW CLASSMATES IN THE SERVICE JUNE, 1944 (CENSOR'S STAMP) (Date) HI THERE, We, the graduating class of 1944, extend to you our sincerest greetings. We wish you were here to take part, in our graduation exercises. We appreciate, more than you realize, what a great job you are doing for us here at home. It hasn't been long since you were atten ing classes with us, and now you and many other boys just like you are making our future history. Edison is taking an active part in home front duties, such as scrap-paper drives and the sale of bonds and stamps in the school. We think you would be proud to know that our A.O.A. (All-Out-Americans) of Edison has helped other Gary children in the winning of the brick from Independence Hall. Gary has been chosen as the city fro m the state of Indiana because of its fine work on the home front. In the next few pages we will show you just what Edison has been doing. You will notice many changes. Our Band has new uniforms and the Glee Club new gowns. On this page, you will find some of the pictures we have been able to obtain of boys in our class who have re- cently sacrificed their diplomas in order to be fighting for our country. Some others who may have withdrawn before thinking of enlisting may be found on the miscel- laneous pages. We have enjoyed hearing from all those who wrote. Our teachers often read your lettersto us, and we realize that we've a long way to go to equal your accomplishments. In closing, we wish to thank you for the job you're doing, end we extend our pest wishes to you. Here s | hoping that the day of victory is near and that you will soon return to the places which are dearest to you. Hoping to see you soon, We remain as ever yours, Class of '44 US mavy
