Deans Two of the more familiar faces seen around the campus are those of the deans, Mrs. Irma Schlegel and Mr, Harvey Davis. Their guidance throughout the years has been both helpful and encouraging to all students. We would like to express our thanks to them for all they have done for us in the past and for all they will do in the future. 12

1 “Building the Bridge” By Will Allen Dromgoole An old man, going a lone highway, Came at evening, cold and gray. To a chasm, vast, and deep, and wide. Through which was flowing a sullen tide.

T The Faculty The Senior class of 1953 salutes the faculty. We real¬ ize that a teacher’s day does not always end at three o’clock in the afternoon. A great deal of his time is given to the students’ out¬ side activities. We feel that they are giv¬ ing us the best education there is to be received. We are sure we will be able to put to use many of the things we have learned in the past four years. The Seniors extend their sincerest gratitude to the fa¬ culty of Whitmer High School. May they continue their good work. 13 1
