O YOU, Bay View, ever a child of industry which gave you birth on 5 our Hftieth birthday we ded icate this book of ours The 1 1 7 ' ' 7, 1 hum of your labor, the song of your industries, a cheerful sonata of steelfmill smoke and of a sky blazing at night with the redfgold and grayfbronze flush of progress, has repeated itself unceasingly for fifty long years. To you, spreading your arms toward the blue mists of Lake Michigan, welcoming to your bosom the ships of commerce as they boom their greetings through the fog, we who have found shelter and peace within you, give this book which in itself ventures out to conquer new hearts that will love you as we do. To you and your proud size that reckons not in numbers but in sincerity of citizen hearts-to you who have encouraged industry and knowledge, who have blessed us with talent and surrounded us with culture, we inscribe the pages of this volume. Springtimes have found you hopeful, summers have found you gay, autumns have made you thankful, and winters have brought you content. May you flourish and thrive, Bay View, through years that are yet in coming-a living monument to human happiness and peaceful occupation. DEDICATIO

. ,EMORIES-what better theme , l 'could one find for our Annual of ' 5 IQ2 9, commemorating the fiftieth birthday of our community- i memories of fifty years ago, mem' ories of pioneers blazing a trail, building a village, establishing ideals, challenging modern youth. What simplicity, what courage, what high faith they do recall, what refreshing pic' tures become our heritage. Still sits the schoolhouse by the road recalls the Bi'rcl's Nest Sclioolliouse, to be sure, and again we may hear the drone of spellingfbees, the sharp rap of the master's rule. But as though allaying the sound of duty one hears the pleasure call of Bay VieW's gurgling stream, Deer Creek-a rendezvous for young and old, Where fish could allure, and icefskates glisten. Down Memory Lane comes the serious tread of the Village Board, and in glad echo to their step of law and progress, the incessant march of happy workers-on their way to the Rolling Mills. Then, of an evening, recall the indoor scene: the eager perusal of the Village Weekly, the good fellowship of Puddlers' Hall, and the glad reunion around the Family Album. Mem' ories, indeed! May the Annual of 1929 help you to cherish them. ' FCREWCRD
