Class of 1954
"I Believe"
The Theme for the graduation program was
"I Believe." The speakers developed this subject
to include their belief in their country --- its resources
and its heritage; their faith in themselves---as individuals
and as trustees of the American way of life. The musical
program included "Sanctus'', by Gounod, the theme music
"I Believe", and other selections by the Senior Chorus.
Victor Florio, class president, delivered the valedictory.
