PRESIDENT ' S ADDRESS On this momentous day in our lives, we of the class of f 46 would like to extend to you, our parents, teachers , friends , and classmates, a hearty welcome. This winning marks for us the end of an era — an era that so eventfully began in the fall of 1942 when 42 seventh graders huddled in the halls of Marine City High for the first time. We were meek and quiet then, but, nevertheless, it was during these Junior high days that we proved our athletic ability and prowess by defeating all competitors in basketball and football in our eighth grade. From then on athletics became synonymous with our class, and it is with a great deal of orlde and satisfaction that we point out that the first thirteen boys of the undefeated football team the past two years were all on our class roll aft ci are we not Justified in boasting of our Championship basketball team this year and last, for eight boys of our class diligently and faithfully turned out for practice everyday from 3:30 to 5:30. To prove our versatility we took honors in track and our stellar track boys Lawrence DeCou and Roy Dawn have distinguished themselves in the high Jump, hurdles, and half mile. Without any question, we owe a great deal to those men who have coached us on to success, and we want you to know, Mr. Pfingst, Mr. Dresser, Mr. Gingrich, Mr. Marsa, and Mr. Catt, that we are indebted to you for guiding us through those six yeaie in M.C.H.S. Not only in athletics but also in other school activities we have learned the necessity of cooperation and working together toward a common goal. • As we Seniors look back on our last years of school, some of the highlights of these years stand out. The J-Hoo, fashioned as a night club; our informal banouet with Harold Smith as toastmaster; the Prom, a night no one will forget; the election of Edna Scott, Virginia Nelson , and Gladys Hintzman to the National Honor Society; The Senior Play, whose success could be traced to the skilful and understanding direction of Mrs. Altherr, Miss Dormer and Mr. Pfingst; and the Senior Carnival with everyone having a great time. Yes, the era is all but over, and we are now standing on the threshold of a new and fascinating world. What it will have in store for us is, as yet, unknown, but we are confident that armed with the tools and touchstones of learning and fortified with the Intangible gifts of co-operation, faith, understanding and courage we shall inact with patience and fortitude the years that lie ahead of us. And so we are prepared to leave our high school and may we at this time thank you, our parents, teachers, friends, and especially our sponsors, Mr. Pfingst and Miss Dormer, for your help and kindness to us, the Class of 46 . Louis Lozon President
