Dedication EALIZING the vital need for bus transportation for high school students in our community inspired Mr. Marion M. De Sandre, sixteen years ago, to run for election to the Lockport Township High School Board of Education. In 1949 he succeeded the late Edward F. Worst as president. Since the time of his initial election, he has kept the welfare of the students and the community uppermost in mind while endeavoring to improve our high school. Having been born and raised in the vicinity of Lockport, President De Sandre is well-acquainted with our community. He is at present residing in Chaney with his wife, Jennie, and one daughter, JoAnn, who has been an active student throughout her three years of high school. He attended Fairmont, Lockport Grade School, and Joliet Township High School. A correspondence course enabled him to Obtain the equivalent of a Mechanical Engineers degree. As executive vice-president of the Joliet W'rought Washer Company, Mr. De Sandre is kept occupied during the day with the many details and decisions required by his job. When his work is finally completed, he finds relaxation out- of-doors. Whether it be working, hunting, lishing, or just walking, fresh air and sunshine please him most. For the past five years Mr. De Sandre has served on the park board and has recently completed a term as president. Previous to his election to the high school board, he was secretary of the Chaney Grade School Board. His participation in various clubs and organizations, such as the Lockport Moose, Club 66, Chaney Progressive Club, and the Industrial Club of the Y. M. C. A., has increased bis popularity as a civic-minded individual. Numerous improvements to our school have been made since our president became a member of the board. He and Mr. Worst combined their ambitions in developing our fine industrial arts program. Needless to say, Mr. De Sandre has spent many hours in preparation for the school annex which is at last under construction. President De Sandre's efforts and prudence have proven his interest and ability in helping make our school an institution of which our community may look upon with pride. To him we proudly dedicate this, the 1951 edition of the Lock.
