Came Marquette To the woodlands of this region, Of this wild and unknown region, When this our land lay unexplored, Where dwelt the Pottawattomie In a year of the sixteen hundreds— Year seventy-five of the sixteen hundreds— Came a saint of the French people Ministering to the red-skinned Indian, Ministering to him soul and body. Here this man, Marquette, did come; Here Marquette did stop and preach, Marquette, who understood the Redman, Understood his speech, his needs, Understood all nature ’bout him, And was received into his midst.

Foreword Many moons have we spent working, Playing, learning here together, In the walls of this our high school— This our high school by the lakeside Where the rippling, laughing water Whispers secrets to the dunelands. Now we’re leaving this our high school, Going out in all directions, Blazing each in his oivn manner. Carving out our different futures— Futures drab or futures brilliant. Life matters not except ’tis noble. But if along the road of life Its milestones find you weary, We hope that this our little book— This our little book of records, Records of our oivn achievements. Names and pictures of our teachers, Likewise of our friends and classmates— Will refresh you in your rumblings, Helping to recall to mind Memories of old M. C. High. Then, indeed, will we be happy, Accomplished be our earnest purpose, And all our efforts tvell rewarded. —The Staff [4]
