You have remained at your school work in the face of temptations of high wages. In doing so you have shown a patriotism far greater than those who have quit school and gone to work. Every generation witnesses a race between ignorance, chaos and bondage on the one hand and enlightenment, high purpose, and freedom on the other. In order for freedom, high purpose and enlightenment to win, each suc- ceeding generation needs to be more highly educated in our democratic way of life. More and more people must become imbued with the American spirit, the spirit of unselfish service for the common good. y P. F. SHAFER, Superintendent. Miss Minnie Blackllgba graduate of Macomb High School. She alte ed Meyers Business College, Bryant-Strpdon siness College in Chicago, and later' did furthe work at Eureka College, Eureka, Illinois. She has been the . efficient secretary of Macomb High's superin- tendent for eight years. She has traveled widelytfn the United States and hopes some- timef to go abroad. As another school year draws to a close we find more and more of our alumnae engaged in the great struggle which confronts our nation. They realize that the days they spent at Macomb High School have a value which cannot be measured in terms of dollars and cents, but in terms of life itself. You, as students of Macomb High School, are not only acquiring information and skills, but are learning to make the basic scoial ad- justments so necessary for a successful life. In doing a thorough job as students, you are doing your part as faithful citizens of Macomb. By being loyal citizens of Macomb you are contributing your share toward helping our country successfully meet the 'ordeal which is before it. By doing this you are playing a large part in helping the United States and its allies stamp out the fear, ignorance, and aggression which has beset them on every side. A. C. DRUMMOND, Principal.

The Czmsztodliazns Did you ever see a man and a mop coming down the hall on first floor at a brisk speed? Ten to one it was Charley Hainline. He is our number one man on that floor. Our number one man on floor number two is Pete Larner. He keeps it as bright as an evening star. Last but tar from least is our sub-zero man, Mr. Wes- terhold. It's his job to ,feed that hungry monster ot a furnace all winter. He checks thermometers as carefully as a doctor. A great deal of credit must go to these men. Page 1 1 History of the Class of '44 Away back in the year of 1940, the graduating class of '44 was born to the proud parents, Macomb High School. From the very beginning this class showed signs of being a healthy, well-behaved group of boys and girls. The girls immediately stiiited making places for themselves in the social world and the boys became star at etes. By the time the class reached its third year it had diminished in size from one- hundred and twelve to seventy-seven. The officers chosen to watch over the growth and welfare of the class were as follows: lack Monger, President, Bob Pendell, Vice-President, Virginia Mullen, Secretary, Bill Gaffey, Treasurer. The lunior Class presented lune Mad to a filled auditorium in '42. It was a decided hit with everyone. The Junior Prom was the outstanding feature of the year. The luniors were in charge and the success of this gala affair added to their reputation of being capable managers. The ballroom was beautifully decorated and the girls in their colorful formals added much to the success for the evening. The officers chosen to lead the Senior Class of '44 were as follows: Bob Ring .............. President Marilyn Dunsworth. . . Secretary Foster Smith ...... Vice-President Virginia Mullen ....... Treasurer The Senior Class didn't look much like the beginning Freshman Class. Many of the boys had gone to fight for their country. Among these are: Bill Gaffey, Air Service, lim Harding, U. S. Navy, Bob Pendell, U. S. Marines, Irwin Foster, U. S. Navy, Bernard Lewis, U. S. Army, Marvin Elliott, Marines, Don Sweeney, Marines, Dean Ward, U. S. Army, Billy Cobb, U. S. Navy, Norman Heaton, Navy Seebee. Our Senior Class has had two queens and kings chosen from it this year. Marilyn Dunsworth and Eugene Cathers reigned at Homecoming, Virginia Mullen and lack Blevins reigned at the Valentine Dance. Rita Arnold, a very friendly and outstanding leader in school, was chosen as the recipient of the D. A. R. award. The Senior Class Play was a hit this year. It was the first mystery that has been produced in M. H. S. with a good record. It was presented to a large audience. Our basketball team, composed of mostly seniors, comferred a great honor upon the school this year. They won first place in the County Tournament and presented M. H. S. with a beautiful trophy. . This was the first one since 1934. A sad note was struck this year with the coming of the prom and its gay festivities. We suddenly realized that it was the last. Anyway the Iuniors gave a wonderful evening to remember. n Commencement and Baccalaureate! How grown up we all felt in our caps and gowns. Yes, Macomb High School has a right to feel proud of the class of '44. The class has accomplished a great many things and as the individual members go out from the halls of M. H. S. into the business and social world, they will continue to do worthwhile things. Page 12 X V Fy- V -f 'i'? R I X4 W x SENIORS CLASS OFFICERS President ,....................,..

Page 35 Tiger House By Robert St. Clair The Senior Class Play of this year was very successful. It was a mystery comedy and the first time in many years for this type of play to be given. The story evolved around the inheritance of an estate, Mystery Manor, by a young girl. Her aunt, who willed her the property, died an extremely violent death, which left a gloomy aspect upon the house. A letter was found which told that a fortune in jewels was left by the aunt. The search for them and the events leading to the climax, such as swinging bookcases, sliding panels, and disappearing women, build an almost unbearable suspense. Comedy was provided in the character of Oswald, an insect collector, Aunt Sophia, maiden aunt who is always losing her teethg and Peg, the flipant girl visitor. The cast was: Erma Lawrie . .

The girls like him, but he doesn't like them. He finally falls in love with Molly but has a hard time gaining her affection. The high-spot was in the third act when a burglar lines up five of the principal characters and attempts to steal the family pearls. The cast was as follows: Easter ......,......

Page 39 Macomb My city is small and quiet, A beautiful little place where nothing ever happens, But where anything can happen. It is not like St. Louis where the streets are crowded and the cars go whizzing by Picking up the war workers who build ships and make ammunition. Here people lead just ordinary lives. Everybody knows his neighbor's business, But then no one cares too much, For he too, knows the secrets of others. They are just common folk who make up our town, There are teachers, clerks, and bell hops, There are welders, mechanics, and shine boys, The kind of real folk that make up a nation. And to me my city has a beauty I have yet to see elsewhere. It is home to me-that makes it beautiful- My Macomb. Written by Miss Waggoner's class in American Literature. Our Country ot War Our country is fighting this war to win Though some people think the word war, means sin. lust think of all the blood shed, torture, and tears And of what the laps have been plotting for years. They have been scheming and sneaking, and dirty about it. To bomb our free land while we live tree upon it. But we're paying them back great and small By sinking their ships and destroying their planes one and all. But to conquer and to defeat, all the deceitful laps, We must keep on buying bonds to back the attacks. For this is America, a country great and strong, And we must keep liberty as the years roll along. Mary Lee Bainbridge School Spirit School spirit may be shown in many more ways than most students think. Most of our Macomb High students have the impression that going to basketball games, school plays, and other activities are the only ways in which school spirit may be shown. ' These are all fine, but there are other things just as important. When we're asked to do something and we make excuses, that is poor school spirit. lf we do not try to get our assignments done, that is letting our teachers down. What good does it do us to go to school if all we have time for is play? We might as well quit. Think of the boys on the battle front today that have gone to Macomb High and all other high schools. They have no time to play. They want to work so that this war may be Won soon. If we learn and study, We are helping to Win the war too. For, after this is all over, those that are in school now will be our future citizens and we most certainly do not want it to be an ignorant nation. Let's help our principal, our teachers, and ourselves by supporting our school SALLY HOLSTINE in every way and by showing the proper school spirit. Page 40 The Poet and l-lis Words The poet is a schoolmaster Who rings his bell with words. The poet sings his morning songs As do the flitting birds. The poet's words are reindeer Darting swiftly past the trees. The poet's words are autumn leaves Flying with the breeze. A poem is the beauty Of the raindrops on the roof. A poem is the rythym Of the horses on the hoof. So colorful the plummage Of the flitting, flying birds, So wonderful is nature, So beautiful are words. Virgil Miller The lnjustice of a Modem Fudge Sundae In the old days, long before no gas, no tires, no shoes, no coffee, no meat, no marshmallows, no eggs, no cheese, and no-millions-of-other-things, people ate de- licious fudge sundaes. It was no uncommon sight to see dozens of girls all smiling at one soda jerker just so they could taste the uncomparable flavor of such a rare delicacy. Now all we may do is dream of what has been. Today, when we happen after years of searching to find a soda fountain, we usually know only too well that they have no ice cream, no chocolate, no whipped cream, no syrup, and no young soda jerker. But occasionally one does come upon a place advertising, in bold letters, FUDGE SUNDAES-50 cents Knot the good old 15 centsl. You scrimp and save for days with the object of someday saving enough to bring your heart's desire, a fudge sundae. At last that day comes. You walk proudly into the store and ask, in a loud voice, so all can hear, for one fudge sundae. Seeing the gleam in your eyes and the starved look on your face, the poor decrepid excuse for a soda jerker smiles at you with pity. He then draws forth what is commonly known as a doll dish. Into this vast expanse he drops not quite one teaspoonful of ice cream and grudgingly places over it three drops of runny, thin, pale, undernourished, fudge. That I must sadly relate, is what the modern fudge sundae consists of. Yes, grandchildren, there was a day when such things were not so. I can re- member when your grandfather worked for days and then truly discovered this fine art. I was one of his most ardent admirers fonly because of his fudge sundaes, of coursel. Ah, just the memory strikes a pang in my stomach. A fudge sundae in those days was served in a huge container known only to soda fountains of that time. In this dish were placed two huge dippers of ice cream. This was covered with, not a slight hint mind you, but covered, with rich, creamy, fudge. On top of this was a huge portion of whipped cream, and thereon was placed an enormous red, ripe, delicious cherry. A beautiful sight. Page 41 Page 42 Star Spangled Banner 'Oh, say can you see' That flag ever shining? The flag that wakes people See the clouds' silver lining? 'By the dawns early light' Every morning we know We'll tight for this country That we all love so. 'What so proudly we hail' With our hearts every day We look up, we are glad, And go happy away. 'In the twilights last gleaming' Near God's country, it seems The rays of his love On that great flag beams. Whose broad stripes and bright stars' Seem ever to shine Upon all of her people Benevolent and kind. 'Through the perilous night' It guards over us all. This flag will keep watching! We shan't let her fall! 'O'er the ramparts we watch Yes, we must watch, too. Because it's of us That our flags' country grew. 'Were so gallantly gleaming, Oh! That flag it does shine! What a wonderful feeling To know that it's mine. 'And the rockets red glare' Many we've seen But still we behold Our flag's glorious cheer. The bombs bursting in air' They tried them, too But still that flag waves Because maybe of you. - 'Gave proof through the night' Yes, in night she does fly. Guarding, protecting On ocean, in sky. 'That our flag was still there' It shines always above Over our free heads The flag that we love. 'Oh, say does that star Spangled banner yet wave' Thank God that she does! And may she wave always Over those that she loves. 'O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave' I That's our flag, that's her people, that's us keeping her high, And pray now to God She won't ever die. Katherine Cale Vacation Two more months and sixteen days and they're going to turn us loose. Then the doors will be swung wide. Our diplomas will be given and we will go out these doors free to do just as we like. lust as we did twelve years ago before these great doors closed upon us and we became prisoners under the command of the teacher. For good behaviour each year we were granted a three months parole, but with enforcement officers to see that we came back to our prison. As the year went by and our yearly paroles were given, some went A.W.O.L. never returning. Now, as our term draws near its end we can begin to make plans for our vacation. Some will choose a profession that will lead them back to another state institution for a four year term. Others will remain free until their dying day. Yes, two more months and sixteen days and these doors will close behind us for- ever. Never again will we have to trudge to school rain or shine. Never again will we have to hurry to school to avoid a week at hard labor for the misdemeanor of being late to classes four times. We will be able to swim and relax doing as we please never worrying about Shakespeare or Keats. Vacation, you are super! KEITH PRICE S leap? Drink Ovaltine-Postum and sleep peacefully. This you hear everyday. I've tried everything from hot water to hot air and- I lay awake at nights counting sheep, cows, birds, pigs, ration stamps, tokens, Democrats, Republicans, and four leaf clovers. Then I give up and- I begin to argue with myself. Yes! Maybe! No maybe about it! W-e-l-l! Yes! No-definitely no! Yes! No! Yes! No! Hey! What am I arguing about? I shall never get to sleep this way. My mind begins to drift and- I think over what has happened during the day. I lost my gum 'cause it dropped out of my mouth CI was so sleepyl and landed with a final plop on the floor. Ho! Hum! I'm not sleepy at all. Wouldn't it be wonderful- If I had a steak, french fries, or. even a hamburger. I just know I could sleep. My! I'm so hungry for pie, too. I'm sure I saw some in the cupboard. The idea startles me and my stomach starts yelling: Food! Food! You gotta feed me! and- I wander down to the kitchen, fry a hamburger, eat a piece of pie, drink a glass of milk, and toddle back to bed. I feel very sleepy. I get snuggled up in bed, and suddenly there are large luminous letters blinking at me YOU ARE NOT ASLEEP!!! I'm not. I'm the most wide awake person in this world. I lie there thinking about nothing when- Boom! I'm asleep. Getting to sleep on no-thing. Must try it again. Submerged in sleep I begin to dream. I must dream of nothing but birds and being a bird I must sing. I sing and sing and sing. Clark Gable walks in on the scene QI told you I was dreamingl and tells me very politely to shut up! I think this is very funny. I laugh and laugh. Then I begin to run for some uncalled reason and then begin to fly. I happened to remember I was a bird. I'm having quite a time when- I wake up. My covers are twisted around me and I wonder if I shall ever get out because I'm so tired so very tired when- Mother calls me. It is time to get up. I drift off into sweet slumber.

However, with the undaunted courage and enthusiasm of the staff and the helpful assistance of Miss Finnell, they succeeded in making a year book which they hope every one will treasure. 7 The financing of the annual depends upon the business manager and her helpers. The sources, other than the local merchants advertising in the annual, is the class play, activity ticket fund, subscription fees, and the returns from the coca cola machine and candy sales.

A 6-6 deadlock resulted at the close of a hard fought game. For the first game of the season the Orange and Black showed up well. Macomb's next opponent was Monmouth, who went home with the better end of a 13-6 score. The first victim of Macomb's aerial strategy was lacksonville who were turned back 13-6. Opening the Spoon River Valley Confernece schedule, Macomb rolled over Lewistown 18-O. The Home Coming game with Beardstown proved to be a disappointing defeat as Macomb was beaten 7-6. Next on the Bomber's schedule was a game with Havana Ducks on their field. Even though it was a night game, the Ducks were shot down 12-7. Rushville was the next stumbling block for the Orange and Black as they were dropped by the score of 19-O. In this game, Hoke, Macomb right end suffered a broken ankle. Closing their season, the Bombers nosed out a stubborn Bushnell squad by 7-6. Macomb lost its star haltback, lack Blevins, early in the season with a twisted knee. He played two good games after the injury. Co-Captain Eugene lap Cathers received a berth on the third team in the All-State poll. The scores for the season were: Macomb 6-1 .........

Although our cagers didn't finish on top in the Spoon River Valley Conference, they were in the game at all times. Most of the scores were close and they never lost any game by a large score. The Bombers had a short streak of bad luck at first but came out of it to beat Prairie ,City and win the County Tournament. This was the first time in seven years for Macomb High to win this tournament. Although they lost the first game with the Academy, the Bombers redeemed themselves by winning the second by two points.
