Dedication We, the graduating class of January, 1949, dedicate our Pictorial to Mr. Robert E. Warner with sincere ap- preciation for his advice and counsel. Mr. Warner is a native of Detroit and a graduate of Northwestern High School. From Northwestern, Mr. Warner entered Michigan State College where he re- ceived his bachelor's degree. Then he went on to the University of Michigan to attain his Master of Science degree. Starting his career as a teacher at Blissfield, Michi- gan, Mr. Warner first served four years with the U. S. Department of Agriculture. He came to Southwestern in 1946 as head of our science and mathematics depart- ment and he teaches physics, physiology, math, and aero- nautics. Taking an active interest in student affairs, Mr. Warner sponsors the Science, Math, and Photogra- phy Clubs. So M. Warner, we dedicate this Pictorial to you whose patient aid has made school a happier place. We shall never forget you and shall earnestly strive to follow your advice and inspiring example as a teacher and citizen. Pm Two

President’Address by Joe Ri x Today marks the end of four short, but memorable years at Southwestern. Our school days are over, but we are proud and glad to become alumni of this institution which has given us so much. It seems only a few months ago that we came here with smiles on our faces to enroll, but we leave now with sorrow in our hearts. In these four years at school we have met very friendly people who have helped us settle the problems that faced us, so that we are better prepared to confront the greater problems ahead of us. We shall never forget the friends we have met here. Now we leave to seek new opportunities. Every one is taking his or her own path into the world. At this point I should like to express my deepest thanks on behalf of my class to Mr. Clark, Mrs. Whit- marsh, and Mr. Wixson, and all the faculty for their ex- cellent leadership. Thank you, my classmates, for the great honor of electing me president. This honor will always stay with me. May the future bring each of you not only happi- ness. but the realization of all your hopes. Let us go forth with confidence because we have received a fine Ameri- can education. fair Three
