It is with the hope of leaving one lasting achievement after four enjoyable years in high school that we, the Senior Class of 1938, publish this Manichigan. DEDICATION:
To Mr. Lester C. BENDLE, capable and sympathetic advisor and friend to every student in Manistee High School, we, the Senior Class, dedicate the 1938 Manichigan.
 In Memory of
GLENN NIESEN
1916 - 1937 There are gains for all our losses,There are balms for all our pains;
But when youth, the dream, departs,
It takes something from our hearts,
And never comes again."
