, I TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1944. 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.
