ln April, 1941 Highland Park To -Ierry's Mother and Father. It is very hard for us, also. to realize that Jerry is gone. So short a time ago we were all starting out together. We knew him in different ways. You as a son, and we as a classmate, but he was a fellow who Could stand a lot of knowing, and a fellow not easily forgotten. Now the time is gone for knowing. Now only remembering is possible. And Jerry will be remembered. Don't you think for a minute that he won'tl We cannot forget .Ierry's good nature, his class spirit, or tIerry's Jeanne. 'We will always think of him as he was in high school, quick on the trigger for fun and laughs and friends. There were mighty few activities which he didn't show up in somewhere. He was welcome everywhere. too. and that's the way we remember him. YVe're glad about one thing-that none of us. not even Jerry himself realized that his life was so fragile a thing. The knowledge, either for him or for us. that he was living on borrowed time, would have been too dark a shadow to be bearable. Death is not a fact that often comes close to young people like us. We are glad that it came for him with no suffering and no fear. He finished, and finished well. one part of liv- ing. graduated with a line record. He had a good job that he liked. He was happy. This is Consolation. But there is still sadness and still empti- ness for you and for us. On Class Day he was crowned King of the Gangfy NVe think that's a pretty important title. Only a paper crown went with it. but lots of meaning. And this meaning has now been deepened. 'I'hat's the way we'll always think of your son. Mr. and Mrs. Sample, and thatys the way he'll always be remembered. jared Sample. King of the Gang. Very sincerely, Class of January '41.
