We do this in a spirit of sincere thankfulness and apprecia- tion. A It is proper for us to consider these men, since they have done so much for us. These efficient and enthusiastic men, in their cheerful way, have striven to make every day of our school .life a most profitable and pleasant foundation for our future success. They, with no obligation, have assumed additional responsibilities along with their usual occupations. They have sacrificed timeg they have Worked diligently and provided us with those necessities which are required for a good education.

Our School Here We meet as kin and comradeg Here sweet friendships intertwineg Here We girded for Life's battleg Alma Mater, Mater Mine! To us of the Class of '45, it is an ex- ceptional privilege here to recall the will and spirit of sacrifice that led the mem- bers of the Board of Education and tax- payers of Black Creek Township to erect, for her future sons and daughters, 5 one of the Bnest of American high school buildings. B. C. T. H. S. was completed in 1938. Since that day, not a few students, des- tined in after years to be called great men, here began their climb to honor, fame, and glory. H What high school can boast of a truer spirit of loyalty and sacrifice on the part of her pioneer builders, her student body, her alumni, her faculty, and her friends! '

Principal a J. ED. SCHNEIDER, B. S. Mathematics, Science, Physics To help others is the aim of all true scholars. Kind and pleasing personality. Jovial manners. Principal's Message Upon the successful completion of your course of study as prescribed by our schools, I feel that the achievement of this honor amply repays the sacrifices made by those who are interested in your welfare. Nevertheless, I who have your interests at heart, 'feel that I Would, indeed, remiss if I did not once more place before you some of the treasures which I Want you to take With you on your journey into the future. I would also call your at- tention to some of the things better left behind than packed and carried along. I urge you as you go forth from' the study hall you have known so Well, to accept the challenge for which your school has prepared you. You may not have thought much about this as yet, but it is a subject really worthy of your careful consideration. As you grow more and more mature, you will come to have an increasing respect and sincere regard for those who have accept- ed the same challenge and a deepadmiration for the manner in which these individuals have faced their problems and met them, how they have carried their burdens, and the success they merited and achieved. If there have been those who have failed in the past for any reason, ,re- solve highly to avoid repetition of that Which is better not repeated. If there have been examples of courage and rare vision and sturdy effort to compass worthy things, carry that standard high and never lower it. It is your privilege, also, to uphold the honor of your Alma Mater and your family name, and to see to it that no tarnish ever touches them through you. ' I would charge you with courage-courage to analyze and to criticize yourselves-courage to prompt-courage to be fair and just. ' May you ever be mindful of these exhortations in assuming your re- sponsibilities as useful citizens in a nation abounding with opportunities. V MR. SCHNEIDER. l7l
