The Seniors have put much work into this yearbook, and it is our hope and aim that we have preserved fond memories of the past year's achievements. If we have done this, our effort has not been in vain. DEDICATION . . . To Mr. Gilbert, who has so patient- ly helped us during our Senior Hi days and whose guidance and example have been a constant inspiration to the students of Albion Area High School, the Class of 1948 affectionately and gratefully dedicatcs this yearbook, The Alhi. TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1948: You have attained a major accomplishment in your life - graduation from high school. Congratulations upon this achievement. May you have continued success in your future undertakings. As you go forth into the many and varied pursuits of your lives. we are confident of your ability and your purpose. We like your spirit - that typical American Spirit - which enables you to face the future with courage and determination. We like your resolution that the efforts of your parents and your teachers in your behalf shall not have been in vain. but rather shall they be the inspiration for continuing the American Way of life. We like your frankness and your calmness in the face of problems. We like your tolerance and your prejudices. In fact, we like everything about you: and we feel that your graduation is concrete expression of your appreciation of our faith and trust in you. Because you are what you are and what you have demonstrated, we are extremely proud to place America in your hands. This trust we know you shall accept with con- cern and with the determination to make the world a "better place in which to live." May God bless you and yours. CHARLES C.

As the warriors of the tribe of '48 look back over the twelve years at Alhi reservation, they realize it is far distant from the bewildered first year papooses to proud braves and maidens, but we have accomplished the great task we so gallantly attacked. The main attraction of our grade school life was the rhythm band which was organized in the third grade under the directorship of Ann Penfield. With the help of the Elementary teachers we were prepared for further andvancement across the bridge of youth. lt took us some time to blaze our trail around the high school tepee, but with the assistance of the upper class braves we managed to survive. The fun started in our Freshman year when we were initiated by a tribe known as the Sophomores. The great event, we as Sophomores, looked forward to was our revenge attack on those "green little freshmen". This time we came out the victors as was expected, but the Freshman tribe took its defeat with a smile and everyone had a uwhopper of a time" to long remember. As the ambitious ,lunior tribe we had a profitable stand Labor Day and also at the Community Fair. We raised Wampum for our prom by sponsoring dances after the basketball games and a Christmas dance with music furnished by Fritz Whittaker. We also collected more revenue by selling greeting cards. Our Prom, with a South Sea Island theme, was a great success and the Big Chiefs and their maidens enjoyed it immensely. To make this yearbook possible, we worked very hard this last year. Under the leadership of Dorothy Tucker we raised money by presenting 64Almost Eighteen", directed by Mr. Gilbert, and sponsored a Christmas dance. And now, we, as Senior braves, are ready to prepare ourselves for the future. Soon we will don our caps and gowns and add another feather to our head dress. We, the Senior tribe of the Alhi reservation, wish to thank all those who made our graduation possible. CLASS WILL . . .

Through the clouded haze of mystery Toward future years I climb, As swiftly in the hour glass Fall the white sands of time. In 1955, a modern Atomic era Has revolutionized the earth, And Professor Maurice Lindell Has given the rocket birth. The former Betty Somjai, Now wife of Lee Orr, the tease, Has gone to the moon with her husband To see if it's made of green cheese. XVayne Coonfer, our reckless driver, Got into his new air-car, Flew off with a burst of speed, And collided with a star. Scientists, Harry Suscheck and Orest Seneta, Have gone on a journey to plantets un- known. To finance their expedition, They asked wealthy Vic Connors for a loan. Steffy Wolchik and Barbara Merritt, And their group of bright, athletic stars, Engage in pole-vaulting contests On the distant planet, Mars. While back on the ancient earth below, Fashions are changing once more, For dress-designer Josephine Lascek No longer lets skirts sweep the floor. With Mary Rood and Marian Forbes as secretaries, The business world is doing well, But the big boss is beginning to wonder If Phyllis Fobes will ever learn to spell. Glenn Broughton, the successful mech- anic, Slipped on a wrench and hurt his head. He awoke to think himself in heaven For nurses Norma Randall and Ieane Forbes XVere beside his bed. Lovely receptionist, Betty Carrier, Is always bright and gay, And stenographer, Marcella Domaracki, Still chatters away. In a neat, clean kitchen Alice Craig whips up a cake, For ever since her Home Ec. days, Alice has loved to bake. Vivian Crosby is now married, And has two red headed boys. She is busy all day long Picking up their toys. Happy together are Louise and Adam Hodack, Our contented Mr. and Mrs., In their new home they lead a domestic life, And mend their quarrels with kisses. Among the rocky Connecticut hills, In a rambling farm house of white, Novelist Virginia Wallace, Gets her inspiration to write. Mrs. Ed Williams, our housewife, ls busy cooking and scrubbing floors, She takes good care of Phyllis Dawn, And her husband, whom she adores. Bill Blair is a lawyer, An expert on criminal cases, And Harold Jones spends both time and money, Watching the horse races. Ralph Godenschwager, the tiller of the soil, Works both late and long, But when he rises each morning, He starts the day with a song. Ed Galloway is a machinist Who is doing well in his trade, VVhile Tom Leehan, now a tool and die maker, Certainly is well paid. After taking this peek into the future, Through a gypsy's crystal ball, l,ll say good luck and much success - Best wishes to you all. l PROPHECY CON'T Delores Graves, the beautician says, "Beauty is as beauty does. Get one of my lovely permanents And your hair won't be a mass of fuzzf, Nick Kategianes, our brilliant contractor, Is building modern houses by the score, And Dane Marcinowski, who is in the Navy, Has reached beautiful Hawaiiis golden shore. Farmers, George and Hal Harrington and Dick johnson, Have each found a pretty wife They live in peace and contentment For they like their country life. Arnold Bentley, famous for his water colors, As an artist has reached the top - And Charlie Dunn - you've guessed it -- ls a motor-cycle cop. Richard Brooks, with no ambition at all, Is now a wealthy movie star, He is widely known for his love scenes YVith beautiful Hedy LaMarr. "Twas many year.s ago in late morning Church bells for Mildred Joslin and Harold did chime - No longer a maid with a host of cats Millie reflects, "1t's been a long, long timef' Mary Defede lives in quiet solitude, In a picturesque house overlooking a quiet lake, While in a busy college lab, Rudy Bilich dissects a huge black snake. A long sharp whistle, a weary toot, A train roars through the night. Inside, Ed Tanner, the sleepy engineer, Keeps his eyes glued to the tracks in sight. Dorothy Tucker is once again "A great, big kindergarden goil". Cause as a children's teacher She makes the kiddies toil. Little Carol Connors, With a voice of pure gold, Is a famous opera singer XVho is doing well, Fm told. Doc White is in South Africa Tracking down big game.

Baker. carpenter, farmer, lawyer - Dick Daugherty is Jack-of-all-trades, Uihile Bill Podoll still sits in the Pool Room And u'hi.:tles at the lovely maids. Happy-go-lucky Don Smith Is as carefree as a dove, Eut journalist Roger McElhiney Still ponders the problem of love. Mid bright lights, and splendor, And lauglzter so gay, Grace Sisak, a talented dancer, Trips merrily away. Popular new ballads Are more pleasing by far, When sung by Alyce Sabol, The new singing star. To become Mrs. Earl Freeman, Medical Secretary, Ann Penfield has just Quit her job, While with a house full of kiddies, Margaret Peters has, for years, been Happily married to Bob.

In our moments of reminiscing our days at Alhi, we recall Septenlber '46, the month we took our place as the Junior tribe at the local reservation. That was the big moment in our school life, which we had so eagerly anticipated all those years. We sponsored many activities and hops that year, but we remember the 6'Snowball',, our Christmas dance for which Fritz Whittaker furnished the music, as our most successful. Then we realized it was almost time for the big Senior tribe to be taking their leave from the reservation so we honored them with the best Prom and Banquet possible. How lucky we were to have such a grand place as the newly built Legion Hall for our feast! And remember how hard every Junior worked to make the gym look nice, how we decorated it with blue and yellow stripes of crepe paper, all attached to a big wheel in the center, and how we carried out the South Sea lsland the111e with a cute little hut on one side of the gym, palm trees placed here and there, and artificial grass, which all helped to give the proper effect ? And remember the thrill we got that night. when we arrived all dressed up in our best bib and tucker? The lights were turn- ed down low and the lilting music of Bob Sprenall's Orchestra seemed to flow dreamily through the island, which was packed to its capacity. Then there was Bill Somerville and Norma Johnson who were presented with gifts. Didnit they make a cute reigning King and Queen? Yes, that was May 27, a real night to come in our list of successes. The summer seemed to fly by and before we knew it we had been whirled into the busy life of being the Senior tribe. This year we attacked the first thespian adventure of our tribe's career. It was titled "Almost Eighteen", and we presented it in the month of November. We all remember how patiently the Cast and stage hands worked under our faithful director, Mr. Gilbert. In running over the names in the cast we recall how Rudy Bilich, as father, rocked the aud- ience with laughter, and how Ann Penfield, as Beatrice, turned that laughter to tears as she burst into those realistic sobs. Will you ever forget Roger McElhiney, who played the role of Eddie, when he was crooning into that old floor lamp that Dad was going to have refinished. And there was Steffy Wolchik, who play- ed the part of Mother to the fullest extent. What a time our teen-agers Betty Somjai and Phyllis Fobes had in holding their young lovers, Bill Blair and Roger. Uh yes -- there was Uncle George, played by Tom Leehan, who had a new philosophy for working as little as possible, and Dorothy Tucker as Mabel Warren, who idolized George. Also in the cast was the committee, portrayed by Maurice Lindell, Barbara Merritt, and Margaret Peters, whose ambition it was to punish Eddie for what they believed a disgraceful act. After enduring the usual ups and downs of a play we realized what a lot of fun we'd had. The Junior Tribe gave a grand Prom and Banquet in honor of our gradua- tion, on May 27. Our parents and friends gathered to proudly witness us walking across the stage as our names were called, to receive that very important piece of papyrus, which had been our goal those last twelve years. When the end drew near we realized it was a time of sadness as well as rejoicing, for we would soon be leaving Alhi to take our responsibility for the many problems we must cope with in our troubled civilization. But we have much to be thankful for too - the friendships we have gained, the education we have achieved, and the joys and sadness we have shared. It was a lot of fun - Wasn't it???

The starting event of our year as the Junior tribe was the election of officers. The following were chosen: President, lid Knappg Vice President, Clara Curtis: Secretary, Norma Dodgeg and Treasurer, Helen Bristol. Our representatives for Student Council were Paul Madden and Jackie Rausch. Labor Day and Fair season passed early in the year, with the ,lunior con- cessions right in the center of the midways. We did well on both of these but they were only the beginning. After that the class held a free dance, sold cards, pens, assign-aids, and then we presented a three-act comedy, "Daffy Dillsw, on March 31st and April lst. All these activities were to raise wampum for our main event of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet. One of the highlights of our year as juniors was the new style class rings which we introduced to Alhi. Now that our successful year is drawing to a close we realize we have had a lot of fun working together, and we are anticipating an even bigger and better '48 and '49, when we will be the Senior warriors of Alhi.

The ulndian Dispatch", our school newspaper, is the voice of the student body of Alhi. lt enables the students to present their views of school life and is a means of publication for the student activities, resulting in keener interest in school affairs. lt is also an opportunity for those students interested in journalism to receive experience in this field. The staff, headed by co-editors, Steffy Wolcliik and Margaret Peters: assistant editors, Virginia Wallzlce, Avis McArthur, and Martha Ann Byers, business manager, Dick Brooks, and Miss Timmons, our advisor, who worked with us so patiently and earnestly, was able to present to the students of Alhi '21 new type of publication. lt has been the aim of previous Dispatch staffs to pub- lish a paper printed by the Albion News, but this is the first year the staff has been successful in doing so. This was made possible by the business firms who purchased advertising space. A neater and more uniform paper was thus ob- tained and it is our hope that this service may continue in coming years. r FFA ....

The Senior lettermen are Jack Tower, Elwin Einhipple, and Scott Sherretts. - Victory, Victory, is our cry 2 bits 4 bits V-I-C-T-O-R-Y A re we with them? Wffll I guess Albion High School Yes! Yes!
