you Centralites will walk across
the stage of Mackenzie auditor-
ium to receive your diplomas.
These diplomas will testify
that your high school course has
been completed and that you are
now ready to enter college or go
into some field of work or chosen
profession. The diploma will not
mention the clubs you have be-
longed to and the school activi-"
ties in which you have shared.
It will not mention the times you
stayed up all night to study for
that exam or the weeks you
spent planning for that extra
special party.
These things will not be writ-
ten on your diplomas. They will
be tucked away in your hearts
as part of the wonderful mem-
ories of your past 12 years at
school.

SOMEHOW you won't ever
forget those extra special friends
whom you met during these last
years of high and with whom
you shared your joys and sor-
rows and who have become a
very great part of you.
There's so very much you'll
want to remember about these
last years, from your first date to
the day you received those wine
and white class ribbons and
clasped your diplomas .firmly in
your hands.
But those are memories only.
You will also take with you the
background of knowledge that
you have acquired in the past
years to help you in the years to

FOR THE
Younger Set
A Short Story:
SEEING GOD
The Emperor Trajan and Rab-
bi Joshua had an argument one
day. Said the emperor to the
Rabbi, "You Jews teach that your
God is everywhere, and boast
that He lives among your people.
If it is true, I should like to see
Him."
"Yes," replied Rabbi Joshua.
"God is indeed everywhere, but
He cannot Ile seen."
The emperor was not pleased
at the Rabbi's reply, and he still
felt that there must be some way
of seeing God. "Let me explain
once more," said the Rabbi. "Sup-
pose that we try to look first at
one of God's works."
The emperor consented and
the Rabbi, taking him at noonday
out into the open air, bade him
look at the sun. " cannot," said
Trajan, "the lig dazzles me."
"Thou art una le to endure the
light of one of God's creatures,"
said Joshua, "and yet thou" be-
lievest that thou canst behold the
glory of the Creator, Himself."
ALBERT SHAPIRO has been

ew lamp bulbs for old...
another EXTRA Edison Service
It never fails to amaze newcomers to Detroit and Southeastern
Michigan! Without extra charge, we will exchange your burnt-out
incandescent lamp bulbs for new ones. You can trade in larger
bulbs for smaller—or smaller ones for a larger size. Just bring
your old bulbs, along with a recent Edison bill for quick Wend-
fication, to any Edison customer office.
Then, too, we will replace any frayed or worn-out appliance
cord you have in your home with a brand-new
one—also at no extra charge.
For more than forty years, Detroit Edison custom-
ers have used these extra services. They will help
you get the most out of all the electricity you use.
