The time has come With much regret And of the past, We'll not forget We've learned a lot, We've had some fun, But now's the time We must be gone We praise them all, The teachers of The school they taught Us all to love. It is the school Best of them all, For its strong spirit Can never fall. —Virgil Miller. THE SP VER Presented by The Senior Class of Macomb High School 1993 Macomb High School Faculty Board of Education E. S. Slusher—President Delmar Jewison Arthur Fleshman Harold Sullivan Truston Stewart Will Lady Wm. C. McGraw J. Otha Toland Neal Chandler To the Students of Macomb High: There never has been a time in the history of the world when education has counted so greatly as during the present war emergency. Never has so much been done in such a short length of time. Whether others like to admit it or not, the ability to accomplish what we have, has been due largely to our educational system. We have taught technical skills which have been applied throughout the industrial world. We have also taught ideals that are worth fighting for, and the greatest of these is freedom. Freedom is the driving power of soldiers and civilians alike. Freedom in a society of individuals must to a certain extent be tempered through self discipline. You must learn to discipline yourself for the benefit of yourself as well as society. The extent to which you are able to curb your personal freedom in favor of the welfare of society is in a large measure the extent to which you are an educated individual. Learn to measure your life by the happiness you bring into the lives of other people. Be willing to sacrifice for the welfare of others. Selfishness is the greatest enemy of humankind. If we are to have a lasting peace after this war, it will have to be founded on freedom through self-discipline. P. F. SHAFER. Miss Minnie Black, the very efficient secretary of Mr. Shafer, graduated from Macomb High School and attended Meyers Business College one year. Then she attended Bryant-Stratton Business College in Chicago and later did further work at Eureka College, Eureka, Illinois. She has traveled widely in the United States and hopes sometime to go abroad. Today more than ever before our country is looking to its high schools. You, as high school students, must realize that your school is doing its part to help you serve your country and yourselves. It is giving you the tools with which to go out to face life. It is endeavoring to equip you to live not only in a world at war, but also in the world of peace which will follow. In future years you will perhaps appreciate to a greater extent the significance of your high school life. You will realize that the skills you have acquired and the attitudes you have built up all do their part toward making you a useful and worthwhile citizen. Your participation in the life of the school will prove to be an excellent training for your participation in the life of the community. The development of your school spirit may well indicate the development of a feeling of loyalty toward your fellow men when your high school days are over. When you leave school you take these things with you. You leave behind memories which are added to those left by others who have gone before you into the world's work. MR. ALFRED C. DRUMMOND.

H. S. From the very first day it proved to be a very popular class and a decided asset to the school. Many of the boys entered athletics and have become stars, and the girls immediately became very active in social clubs. In the junior year the first class officers elected to lead through the first really important year were as follows: President .......................... Merlin Brown Vice-President........................ Keith Mason Secretary.............................Irene Hudson Treasurer........................... Jack Phillips Ever Since Eve proved to be a very successful junior class play. The comedy was given before a packed house and many of the class had leading roles. The contest work of that year was done mainly by juniors. Jeanne Crone had a lead in the play, Mansions , that went to the state. Nancy Stookey, who has been the dramatic reader since freshmen days, also won in contests and added greater prestige to the class. The outstanding event of the year was the junior-senior prom. The juniors were in charge and the hotel paid a high compliment by saying that the ball room had never been so beautifully decorated. It was a beautiful prom—with a perfect background—lazy spring evening, soft lights, dreamy music, romantic formals, and beautiful corsages. Will you ever forget? The senior class didn't look much like the freshman class. How it had decreased in numbers. Merlin Brown proved to be such a good class president that he was elected again for the year of 1942-43. The following assisted him: Vice-President.......................... Jim Smith Secretary.............................Luella Parish Treasurer.............................George Edie From the senior class of '43 the King and Queen of Homecoming were chosen. Shirley Jackson and Jim Smith were the honored ones to reign over homecoming. The 1943 football team consisting mainly of seniors, won the title of Co-Champions of Spoon River Valley in football. The class backed Luella Parish, our beautiful red-haired soprano, as D. A. R. award winner. Merlin Brown was honored by being chosen the best Thespian of the vear Five senior girls reigned over the annual spring formal sponsored by the Sub-Deb. They were as follows: Queen, Myrlene Pointer; Maid of Honor, Shirley Jackson; Attendants, Pauline Martin, Nancy Stookey, and Dorothy Yeast. More seniors were in contest work this year. Nancy Stookey again won honors in speech work Jeanne Crone, Margaret Mullen, and Bob Melton were in the play Two Plus Two, which once again goes to the state. A banner for dear old M. H. S. was won by them. The class play, The Garden of the Moon a costume drama, was presented to a deeply moved audience. The prom perhaps meant more than anything else this year. It was rather sad, however, because the class knew it was almost the end. Thank you, juniors! It was swell! Everyone looked so old and serious in their caps and gowns at Baccalaureate. Doesn't seem possible that it's almost over, does it? Commencement was more sad this year than ever before. So many of the members of the class are going into service and one wonders whether the group will ever all be together again. The future is so uncertain and so little of the usual thrill of graduation was present. Deep in the hearts of everyone is a realization of how much high school has meant. In closing, these lines express so beautifully the sentiments we feel: Look not mournfully into the Past. It comes not back again Wisely improve the Present, It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy Future, Without fear, and with a manly heart.” Page It Graduates CLASS OFFICERS President..... Vice-President Secretary..... Treasurer..... .

The Senior Class Play The Senior Class presented the romantic comedy, Garden of the Moon” by Arthur Jearue, April 21, 1943 in the Senior High auditorium. Contrary to the usual interior setting, the action takes place in an old-fashioned garden in the university city of Berkley, California, during Senior Week. Carol Clair, played by Nancy Stookey, is a charming young girl who has the soprano role in the school operetta written by her fiance, Brent Carson, who is Keith Mason. Brent tells Carol that he will have to accept a teaching position at Berkley and asks her to wait for him until he saves enough money. Carol refuses and angrily promises to marry Leo, Jim Smith, the school football hero. Carol declares there is no such thing as an enduring love; Professor Gaylord, Bob Melton, a kindly and lovable old man, convinces her that love can survive the years. He brings the two young people together and in so doing, insures his own happiness. This story, gay with youth, laughter, and love was made even more appealing by the beautiful stage setting and costumes of bygone days. Other members of the play and class were Margaret Mullen, Shirley Jackson, Barbara Keithley, Jeanne Crone, Merlin Brown, Bob Pennington, Ivan Hayden, John Sweeney, Leland Mummert, Barbara Harland, Betty Myers, Betty Logan, Betty Inman, Elgin Huston, and Nora Van Hooser. Much of the success of the play was due to the patient, hard work of the director, Miss Louise Waggoner, the stage manager, Merlin Brown, and the business manager, Betty Logan.

Dear Sadie: Remember, Sadie, ten years ago, in 1943, when the war was beginning to take our school mates. But still we managed to graduate, didn't we? Now that the country is at peace again, I have been thinking of those graduates of old M. H. S. and how they are certainly setting the pace. Remember little Margie Anderson? She's the talk of Hollywood now, they say. And speaking of Hollywood reminds me of the letter Duane Beringer wrote, telling me that he is now the manager of Earl Carroll's restaurant out there. He said that though he's surrounded by a bevy of beautiful women, he still just can't stand women. Did you read where Francis Beadles has a new title? She is now Countess Von Zinczoobisoreski—only her fifth famous husband! Last Sunday, over N. B. C., Betty Ballou who's now head of a social service organization, delivered a wonderful lecture on The Betterment of Mankind. Oh, Sadie, did you know that Jack Beal has taken over the Ten Pin back in Macomb? As an added attraction he has employed Maynie Belle Mason and Ines Bloom as hostesses. Keith Brooking is doing a wonderful job of heading the International Loyal Order of Moose I hear that Merlin Brown is going to run on that political ticket against Roosevelt in the next presidential election. On his campaign programs, Cecelia Bubband Waneda Bushnell have promised to give free baton twirling lessons to anybody who'll vote for Brown. The campaign is to be financed by Howard Cullen, one of the most prosperous farmers in Illinois. J. J. Newberry's has a new manager in Macomb—after years of service, Wanda Dickason, finally won her position. She's hiring Wanda Cox, the world-famous magazine illustrator, to do all her advertising. In Newberry's hardware department, they are featuring a new rubberless rubber discovered by Keith Johnson, who always loved to fool around in Chemistry. Have you heard that Robert ICline received this year's radio award for being the best comedian on the air? His close friend, Jeanne Crone, also won an Oscar for her rendition of Jezebel. Gertie Bruns and Norma Granda are two small-town girls who made good, aren't they? They have made a success of running that winter resort out in Sun Valley, Nevada. By the way, did you know Marie Eneff just celebrated her fifth anniversary as Chaperon of the Teen-agers' Club back in Macomb? One of the club's nightly patrons, Willie Huston, has just started to conduct a research on the origination of the zoot suit. Sally Hall wrote me that she is now staging weekly concerts of her all-girl Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra. I heard that George Edie, who has had the title of the sleepiest and laziest man in the world, actually stays awake throughout the concerts. Oh, Sadie, guess what! I went to an exhibition of Polly Crawford, Woman World's Championship Bowler, at the new Duck Pin Alley! And guess who has revived the memory of Wrong-Way Corrigan, by his backward flight around the world! I received a letter from Betty Hall the other day; she can't make up her mind what she wants to be, so she's taking another post-graduate course. She also told me that Ivan Hayden, who writes, produces and directs his own shows, presented an assembly at M. H. S. Oh, my dear, did you know that Barbara Harland, Betty Logan and Nancy Stookey are now the three most famous Powers' Models in New York City? And that Sterling Gardner is there campaigning to pave the sidewalks with linoleum? Last Friday nite, Betty Hook, Roberta Robinson, Virginia Swisegood, Betty Price, and Maxine Lovell appeared in the Roller Revue, A Windy Day at Chandler's Balloon Rink. Tomorrow, Sadie, Eugene Lee, the first Admiral of our peace-time Navy, is going to lecture to our Mother's Study Club, of which Darlene Leasman is president. Page 36 He will be accompanied by Sterling Nichols, his business manager and personal secretary. Next month, Eugene Krohe, who is running for state senator, is going to talk to us. We en t you astonished, Sadie, when Barbara Keithley and Dorothy Yeast, after having dull secretarial work for years, perfected that new kind of orange out in Idaho? Did you know that Eleanor Westerhold has been appointed head of the Nursing staff at George Woerly's Mercy Hospital? And that Marguerite Sell is driving an ambulance for him? Sometime, Sadie, you must eat one of those delicious dinners at Kenneth Homan's King's Grill, where Lois Harwick is referred to as that blonde cashier. I never thought that Elgin Huston would now be the Professoress of Trigon-algebra at the University of Utopia, did you, Sadie? And that Irene Hudson, who always loved crowds, would now decide to retire and live on the Isle of Pines in peace and quiet? I hear that Wayne Kelly has returned to Ireland to live up to the grand old Irish name of O Kelly. Also, Norma Thompson has just become the wife of a Bermuda Onion King. Alleyne Moore has returned from Switzerland where she has been studying yodeling. On her concert tour, Luella Parish set male hearts fluttering when she sings Ay-Ay-Ay! I Love You Very Much ! Bette Myers sailed yesterday for India, where she will try to sell nail-proof mattresses to the Hindus, while Betty Stoneking is traveling over America displaying her new subtracting machines. Jeanette McGruder, a superintendent at the Pretzel Factory, told me that Margaret Mullen and Flossie Pointer are working there and fighting over the handsome bosses. Isn't it wonderful, Sadie! Jean miller is now working at a salon in New York with the famous Charles of the Ritz! In her syndicated column, My Day, Pauline Martin wrote that Betty Jean Toland has won the title of Woman of the Year . Don't you envy Nora Van Hooser, who is teaching physical education to the men at Harvard? And Betty Inman, who paints the world's most perfect males— the Petty Men? Shirley Jackson, the composer of the Congotangorumsamba, now gives six lessons in dancing in a three-weeks course. Oh, Sadie, have you heard that Lu Jean Sturm and Maxine Haulk have sailed as missionaries to Pagan Island? I forgot to tell you that Betty Jo Vincent plays bass violin solos and Louise Lefler sings with Sally's orchestra. I heard Junior Robinson broadcast the Chicago Bears football game last Sunday. Bill Weingartner and John Sweeney are the two stars of that team. Hallie Roddy is certainly gaining fame for her home cooked Kentucky fried skonk (?) and boiled cabbage ! Did you know that Bob Reed and Keith Mason have discovered a new phase of snooker while fooling around Tweed Mummert's Pool Hall? Bones Smith is certainly handsome since he has been obeying Bob Melton's famous “Exercise Rules for Gaining Weight, isn't he? Mary McDaniel is now in her fifth year playing her ingenue role of Giggling Gertie at the Illinois Theatre. Bill Trone and Gene Monninger now have a joint swing band, in which they feature the trombone and drums, and Bob Pennington and Wendell Ferguson have undertaken to build a bridge across the Panama Canal. For inspiration and as a cook they took Eleanor Kirkpatrick with them. Oh, Sadie, have you heard that Elizabeth Burke and Bill Huddleston are touring the country as National Golf Pro Exhibitionists? And that John Sweeney bought Bing Crosby's Racing Stable and intends to capture the Kentucky Derby? Well, Sadie, that's all the news I know for now, so I'll close. As always, Jenny Gabble.

Page 5i Page 52 Football The Macomb High Orange and Black Bombers , facing their traditional eight game schedule, romped forward to another Spoon River Valley Conference championship. Four games were won, one tied, and one cancelled this year, and they were forced to share the championship title with Beardstown. Under the capable leadership of our new coach, Mr. Vance and his capable assistant coach, Mr. Alexander, the boys were able to sweep aside all their conference competitors to repeat for the second year in a row the title of Conference Champions. Macomb's opening game with Beardstown proved to be the hardest contested game of the season and ended in a 6-6 tie. Macomb was next scheduled to journey to Jacksonville, but this game was called off because of bad weather conditions. Macomb now looked forward to another Spoon River Conference rival, Rushville, who gave Macomb one of its worst beatings to the tune of 19-6; but fortunately did not count in the Conference standings. Next Macomb met a strong Lewistown team who only a few nights before had defeated Rushville, but they proved to be an easy prey for the Bombers as they marked up their first conference win, 18-0. The squad continued its winning streak as they rolled over Havana 51-0, but Galesburg proved to be Macomb's next non-conference stumbling block, as the Silver Streaks of the Northwest Conference rolled over Macomb 19-6. The boys, however, somewhat redeemed themselves by winning from a strong Farmington team 13-12, on the swamp-like field at Farmington, in one of the most thrilling games of the season. The boys then cinched their share in the title race by a smashing Homecoming victory over our traditional rivals from Bushnell by defeating them 33-0. Thus dropped the final curtain on another successful Macomb High Football season, and with enlightened hopes, the returning squad members are looking forward to a bigger and better season next year. Although many of the boys played their last season for the orange and black, several of the starting eleven will be back to carry on to another successful and victorious football season.

Although the team didn't finish with a high rating in the Spoon River Valley Conference, they gave a very good showing in most every game they played. A glance at the season's record will tell the reader just how many games were won and lost by two or three point margins. The season's record standing at eleven won and fourteen lost exceeds the past performances of many former Macomb teams. The traveling squad was made up of the following boys: Captain Keith Mason, Merlin Brown, Jim Smith, Jack Blevins, Duane Beringer, Eugene Cathers, Bob-Reed, Don Sturm, Bill Perry, Don Daniels, and Bob McLean. Jim Smith, lanky Macomb forward, was high scorer of the team, and finished third in the Conference with ninety-nine points. Merlin Brown was the other forward. Duane Beringer, a four year letterman, was the center and Keith Mason, along with Bob Reed and Jack Blevins split the time acting as guards. An interesting sidelight was that the Orange and Black piled up a total of 866 points compared with their opponents 813 points. The season was complete in the fact that the Macomb team defeated its arch rival, Western Academy, three times this year with each game being played on the Western floor. In the County the Macomb team gave a good account of themselves, winning from Bardolph 33-22, then losing to Prairie City 43-23, only to come back and beat Academy 27-22 to win third place.

Senior Champion. . . . Norma Jean Thompson Norma Jean Thompson Nora Van Hooser Lu Jean Sturm Maxine Haulk Other class champions this year were: Freshman Champion........................ Eva Robeson Sophomore Champion...............................Carol Harland Junior Champion..........................Doris Hhilson Page .56 G. A At the end of each year a girl who has earned so many points is given an award. A Freshman receives a numeral for 600 points, a Sophomore receives an M for 1200 points; and a Junior receives an I for 1600 points. The highest award is a chenille map of Illinois. In order to receive this award a girl must have been a member of G. A. A. for four years and have earned 2000 points. Girls earning this award this year are: Nora Van Hooser, Norma Thompson, Lu Jean Sturm, Maxine Haulk, Nancy Stookey, Barbara Keithley, Myrlene Pointer, Elgin Huston, Pauline Martin, Norma Granda, Irene Hudson, Virginia Swisegood, Margaret Mullen, and Sally Hall. Each year the club sponsors an intra-mural softball tournament, volley ball tournament, and basketball tournament. This year's softball tournament, managed by Dorothy Yeast, was won by the Juniors; the volley ball tournament, managed by Nora Van Hooser, was won by Miss Smith's Homeroom; and the basketball tournament, managed by Pauline Martin, was won by the Junior Blacks. This year a number of our girls participated in a basketball play day put on by Western Academy. Every year the G. A. A. enters the State basketball shooting contest. We had twenty-three girls entered this year. The girl getting the highest score in the contest this year was Nora Van Hooser. Lu Jean Sturm, Maxine Haulk, and Iris Van Hooser tied for second place. Besides its members participating in sports, the club has had several good social activities. It sponsored the Valentine Dance, held a weiner roast for the new members, had an informal initiation for all new members, and sponsored the May Festival. The main event of the May Festival was the crowning of the Queen and her four attendants. The Queen and her attendants were chosen by all the boys of High School. When the government started a scrap metal drive, the G. A. A. showed its patriotism by sponsoring a Scrap-Metal Dance. The admission to the Dance was a piece of scrap-metal. The dance was a success and very helpful to Uncle Sam. Pagi 57 THE FOLLOWING PERSONS OR CONCERNS OFFER THEIR CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 1943 G. W. WETZEL Mayor SAMUEL M.
