Miss Marie Tynan · Class Advisors As members of the graduating class of June, 1959, we take this opportunity to extend our thanks and gratitude to Mrs. Florence Leach and Mr. FredDecker, who, as our class advisors, have helped us through our senior year. At all times they showed great interest and concern in our problems and activities. Mrs. Leach was born in Detroit and attended high school at Northwestern. Upon graduating she entered Wayne State University from which she received her Bachelor of Arts Degree. She came to Southwestern in September, 1955. Mr. Decker was graduated from Stout Institute at Menomonie, Wisconsin, in 1929. He began his teaching career here at Southwestern. He received his Master of Arts Degree from Wayne State University in 1938. We are indeed grateful for the privilege of having these two wonderful persons for our class advisors. We wish to assure them that their understanding and guidance will long be remembered by us, the graduating class, as we begin on the road to adult life . Dedication We the members of the graduating class of June, 1959, dedicate our pictorial to Miss Marie Tynan and Mr. Gilbert Francis. Miss Tynan was born in Columbus, Ohio. Her elementary and high school days were spent at Blessed Sacrament Academy. She furthered her education at Marygrove College and the University of Detroit, receiving her Bachelor of Arts Degree at Marygrove and her Masters Degree at U. of D. Miss Tynan came to Southwestern in 1926 and has been literary and business advisor of the school newspaper and yearbook since 1941. Mr. Francis was born in Rochester, New York.
