In this atomic age in which you will have to live, you will need all the skills and knowledge which you have acquired. It is our fervent hope that you will make use of them to promote peace and happiness to all the world. Never forget that our government is a government for the people, of the people and by the people. If you make this country a better place in which to live, you must be willing and ready to do your part in community, state, national and world affairs. You should, as individuals and as organized groups, do everything in your power to make the United Na- tions successful in its endeavor to preserve world peace. Failure may mean the destruction of our civiliza- tion even in your time. P. F. Shafer Sup't. of Public Schools As our school year begins each fall, it is always a fine experience to welcome into our midst a new fresh- man group. It is interesting to watch each class as it progresses through school. We of the faculty enjoy our functions as guides and mentors while we see each student approach his senior year. It is with regret that we realize that with graduation you, with whom we have had the pleasure of working, will never be with us as high school students again. Our hope is that in your progress through school, you will have re- ceived something that will enable you better to cope with the problems of life. We want you to feel that this is your school and that although, offi- cially you are leaving us, actually you are always welcome to return and visit us. We are your friends and shall al- ways stand ready and willing to be of assistance to you should the need arise. A. C.

Dewey Ewing-President Delmar lewison Dow Harvey Colin I. Robinson Ed Kaelke Will Lady George Needham Harold McLean Grant Shanklin OUR FLAG As I look out the window of my classroom, I can see, rippling and waving in the breeze, OUR FLAG, and I am over-taken by first happiness and then contentment and security. Through all the ages there have been flags, as a symbol of unity, where people are banded together, flags for nations and flags for organizations. Our United States flag is one of the oldest national flags. Adopted in 1777, although not always in the same form, it has not been changed much, except in the number of stars on its beautiful blue field. I do not know what all the other flags mean, but to me our flag is a symbol of many things, the Constitution, free enterprize, the privilege to carve a career, to formulate ideas, and be able to carry them out. It is the symbol of myself and each individual in a bond of friendship, good-will, understanding, and faith that binds the home, the community and the states together into a great nations. All these things that we cherish so much wouldn't be, if our flag were the flag of dictatorship or totalitarian government or one of state ownership. So it makes me feel proud and happy as I watch our flag as it waves so graceful and calmly in the breeze. - Richard Knoedler e .EJZUHJV5 H-Nj! .Shari AGANS, ROBERT - Bob . . .

S. from a nap she has since not been given a chance to resume. During their four years in high school sixty-nine will be leaving with their diplomas. As freshmen we were a frivolous set of youngsters and, of course, as all freshmen do, we Watched every move of our superior classes. The latter part of our sophomore year we began to sense our importance at M. H. S. and realized that our childish ways and attitudes must be eliminated. In our junior year we started climbing the ladder and by spring we were still climbing with heart and soul as we had not quite reached the top. On two successive nights we presented Seven Sisters , a comedy in three acts, before a large audience. The officers of the year were: President ........ ....... L ee Hare Vice President .... .... D orothy White Secretary ..... .... I ack Cheeseman Treasurer ....................... Duane Clugston The outstanding event of the year was the Iunior-Senior Prom. A sumptous farewell was paid to the beloved seniors and the ballroom was beautifully decorated to represent a flower garden. The pretty girls, dim lights, and soft mellow music added to the success of the evening. Then came the last year at good ole M. H. S. At last we, the seniors had reached the top of the ladder. The following classmates were chosen to lead the class. President ...................... ....... L ee Hare Vice-President .... .... D on Iackson Secretary ..... ..... G ene Reno Treasurer .................... .... L eRoy Macklin Members of this class were responsible for the publication of the SENTINEL, bi-weekly newspaper. Journalism was offered to those who showed outstanding ability in English. Two queens and kings reigned over dances during our last year. Marilyn Tolley and LeRoy Macklin held the high honors at Homecoming and the crowns were bestowed upon Dorothy White and Lee Hare at the Valentine Dance. Io Anne Barton was honored by being chosen the recipient of the D. A. R. award and Ioan Jewison was voted the best Thespian of the year. The prom was again a big success. Thank you juniors, it was wonderful! Bacculaureate and Commencement! How much older we felt in our caps and gowns than when we came in with green hairbows and caps. Yes, Macomb High School has a right to be proud of the class ot '47, The class has accomplished many great things and doubtless many of its members will again stage a big show in the uture. Old Doc , a drama in three acts, was well presented by a splendid cast from the class of '47. The play was built around whether Bob Hillary would decide to be the next Doc Hillary of Mason County or choose to go to New York with the protuberlant Doctor Brand. Both the sudden death of his father and his love for Margaret, Old Doc's nurse, persuaded Bob to succeed his father as the faithful Doctor Hillary of the little country village of Hillsborough. The cast was as follows: Old Doc Hillary ............ . . . . .Bob Burris Bob Hillary ...... ................. L ee Terhune Ma Brown ....... ................... I oan lewison Pa Brown .....

LOVE Love is like a misty dream, Like the dew that falls each morn, It's fresh and clean and full of life, COh, boy, what a lot of cornj. Love is like a newspaper, Something different every day, Full of tun and sadness both, fOr so l've heard them sayl. Love is like a happy thought, That paciiies you in distress, It's always there to lean on, fOh, boy, this poem's a mess J. Oi course there are a few times When a storm doth break the calm, But all in all its wonderful, CAII that rhymes with calm is palml. Love is like a hurricane, Full of power and force, It picks you up and whisks you away, QThis poem's a wee bit coarsej. In ending my poem I wish to say, Without love where would We be?

' , 3 K WV Effjfdalvi XHWJZ EEF: 5 TOURING A TEACHER'S MIND Come with me, folks, and we will proceed to explore a teacher's mind. Oh, yes, folks, teachers do have minds and if you can bear with me, we will try to find out what is in them. - First of all, we must get to this delicate mind, so we take a sledge hammer and break it open gently, very gently. What do we see? Rooms, nothing but rooms, each one telling a different tale. We start our tour by choosing the first room to explore. Say! this does look interesting. We can see that she has been in a few childish fights and received a black eye or two, and-oh yes-here is what we have been looking for, the time she skipped school. It looks as though she skipped for a worthy purpose though, to go swimming. Ah, yes, the good old swimming hole. As we continue our tour we find that she graduated from grade school with honors, being an A student, of course. Now for the room containing her high school adventures. When she was a freshman she was kicked out of English for chewing gum. Aren't we glad that teachers have changed? Her sophomore year was spent rather quietly, but from what we can see the other two years have made up for it. As a junior, she tossed a snowball hrough a window which left a deep impression in her mind. Here comes the big year and of course she has Senioritis and this reveals several things such as throwing paper wads, getting kicked out of class, and using dirt instead of pepper at th senior breakfast. All of this left its mark on the brilliant brains of the teacher. Naturally she graduated from high school with scholastic honors only to enter college where, of course, she was an A student. In college she studied constantly, never went out at night, but really stayed home and studied. After four years she graduated from college, and then she con- tinued to get her Master's degree which made her a perfect teacher. The next room shows how she got her first job in the good orderly school of Macomb High. Here she used her mind in teaching all of the not-so-smart students. She makes a wonderful teacher, with all her education and all the other things she learned while at college. When it comes to giving her students work to do she is simply wonderful. She never makes you memorize poetry, authors, or chemistry formulas. School is almost heaven. The teachers wouldn't dream of making their students write themes. lt's too difficult. Then last, but not least, we come to find the last room in which she gives exams. They are so easy. The teacher never makes her students write very much and the tests are so easy because we review so much. With this we end our tour. Since we so gently knocked their delicate brains we must put them back together again. The question is how? Perhaps if we use scotch tape we can get them back together again. After all wouldn't it be awful to ruin a wonderful brain like a teacher's. But on second thought a few nails will hold it better. With this we end the tour and with all kidding aside, the teachers of America are the backbone of every American boy and girl. What would civilization come to if it weren't for the grand guidance of the American teacher. In short, teachers of America, we take off our hats to your. -Louise Wilson BOY CRAZY His was a face I could hold in my heart, So I learned its every detail. It had a distinction that set it apart, But most of all - it was male! - Joan Jewison A NORMAL BROTHER A normal brother is nothing but a large mass of protoplasm. He usually is com- posed of two large ears, two eyes, one freckled nose, one big mouth, two arms, two large dirty hands, one gigantic stomach, two legs, and two big feet. All of these items are wildly thrown together to form one normal brother. The normal brother bothers you from the time you get up until you retire at night. Everytime you turn around he runs and tells it. He listens to your phone calls, and tries to find your letters. When your date calls for you, he tackles him or tells him you are gone. On Saturdays it is your job to try to clean his room. You fight your way in through the mess, and try to make it look half-way livable. You spend hours dusting, hanging up clothes, picking up candy wrappers which over shot the waste basket, baseballs, ball bats, ball gloves, bats, tennis rackets, golf clubs, etc. You have just finished, when he walks in looking for a baseball and tears everything up before he finds it. The normal brother will usually loan you a quarter, to tide you over until allow- ance day. The only catch will be the fifty cent interest charge. The normal brother has a nose to fit his stomach. He can smell candy a mile away. If you happen to have any put away for a rainy day, he finds and eats it all. I have just been telling some bad traits of the normal brother. He really has many good traits which outnumber the bad. We coulcln't get along without them, could we? - Rosemary Ritter WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD EOR ME What does the future hold for me? What am I going to do? Where will I go to college? What subjects will ensue? Where will I live in the future? What will I have for a home? Will it be pre-fabricated? Or will I tend to roam? Will I gain success or failure? What do these two words mean? Will I achieve what I've always wanted? Material or unseen? Will I share my future with someone? Will I go into the haze alone? What does the future hold for me? The future so unbeknown. - Dorothy White FORESIGHT As a freshman, I could see All the honor there would beg As a sophomore, I could see All the joys there would beg As a junior, I could see All the power there would beg As a senior - Goodness me! Now what is there to foresee? - Marilyn T olley MY TOWN My town, are you so different from the rest? There are many like you. Millionsg millions which make up this world of ours. Do not other towns have hills, and wind, and stars? Then why are you so different from the rest? Why? - Is it that I have lived my life with you? I have borne sorrow with you. I have shed my tears with yours. My heart has rejoiced with yours. My eyes, with yours, have looked searchingly into the future. Oh my town, my little town - Why are you so different from the rest? Can it be that this is where my love lies? - Mary Lou Walker WHAT CAN IT BE? What is this thing, what can it be? This thing that so confuses me. This thing that's sent from up above. Can this thing be the thing called love? - Mary Lee Bainbridge LITTLE THINGS Some people like to daydream About wealth in great amount. But as for me, I do believe It's the little things that count. - Patricia Burke A LAST REQUEST Shed no tears as we departg Do not reveal your aching heart, Nor even show a glassy eye, As you see us passing by. Give a laugh, at leastia smiley Help us, friends, to reconcile. Show no pity or distress: We're in search of happiness. With your jokes and all the rest, Now please don't overdo this quest. And as we wave our last good-bye, Don t laugh, and shout, How glad am I! - Marilyn T olley HOW T0 AMUSE THE BABY Whenever there is a baby in the house, it is made over, coddled, and amused. Everyone wants to make the little fellow laugh and grin all the time-whether he wants to or not. There is an art to amusing a baby. The proper way is for you to look at it. If that doesn't arouse a laugh, do this - Tickle it in the stomach - say, itsey, bitsey, goo - twist its feet - bounce it on its head - show it your watch, taking it apart if necessary - tweet its nose - pinch its cheeks - punch its abdomen -- pat its back - shove it over - pick it up by the arms - pick it up by the feet - pick it up by the ears -throw it up in the air - bellow whoopee and gurgle whee at it - smother it with wet kisses - smother it with affection - smother it with blankets - drop it on the floor - recite pat-a- cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man and This little pig went to market to it several hundred times a day - feed it rattles, spoons, and safety pins. In spite of this sort of early training, the youngster will grow to manhood, smoke cigarettes, drive recklessly, chase wild women and, in other words, prove to be a disappointment to friends and family. - Jo Anne Barton ON DRIVING There I am - a cloud of golden hair streaming behind me, the ends of a silk scarf gracefully whipping in the breeze - at the wheel of an immense, glittering red convertible. The natives stand watching as I effortlessly pilot the powerful machine straight as an arrow down the highway. A beautiful sight! and a beautiful thought! But, you see, I'm one of those unfortunate persons who simply cannot grasp the basic intricacies of guiding an automobile, and so I realize - only too well - the spectacle I present when trying to drive the family Chevvy. Despite the combined efforts of parents and friends Cwith biting remarks from my small brothers - who have driven since the cradle - in the backgroundj I always kill the choaked roar of the motor whenever I shift gears. There I am - a hunk of coffee-colored hair in my eyes and a print scarf flapping in my face - going slowly crazy as I try to perform five operations simultaneously. The car jerks and weaves, taking after telephone poles, fire hydrants, and any othel object off the beaten path. The local yokels gape and then start running for life and I land in the ditch, inevitably. Yes, Ford did a wonderful service for mankind Cno one hates to walk more than ID But please reserve a place in the back seat for me and put the chore of driving on some other person's more willing shoulders. - .Ioan Jewison W w 'Elf 'v bg ,3 EIDDWVE XVQZ 9VL.II'J'Vl'TljZVl FOOTBALL Macomb High Bombers last fall ended with a fairly successful season.

TRACK Macomb High had a good track team this year. Although most of our lettermen graduated last year, nine letter winners returned to our this years squad. Two trans- fers, Ralph Barclay and Delvin French from Western High and Galesburg were added to this years squad. Men who came out for track and events in which they entered are as follows: - lack Cheesemen - 100 yd. relay, and broad jump. Don Jackson - 880, relay, and 440 yd. dash. lack Hysel -- broad jump, relay, hop, skip, and jump. Tommy Garrison - broad jump, relay, hop, skip, and jump. Roy Macklin - discus, 100 and 200 yd. dash, 880 relay. Ralph Barclay - discus and shot put. Bob Burris -- pole vault, high hurdles, discus, 100, and 220. Elmer Wilson - high jump. Delvin French - 100 yd. and broad jump. lunior Roberts - high hurdles, shot put. Ralph Barclay - weights. In addition to the above list some very promising freshman material reported. BASEBALL The Bombers team was weakened this year due to the loss of most of last year's lettermen.

Later in the year we held a basketball tournament which was won by the seniors. These games were played after school on Mondays and Tuesdays. The G. A. A. also sponsored a bowling tournament at the beginning of the year and also entered the state's tele- graphic bowling tournament in February. Outside of these sports the G. A. A. also sponsored the Homecoming and the Valentine Dances, and held a little-sister hike for the new members and had the informal initiation for them. The climax of the year's activities was the annual May Festival on the second day of May. This year's theme was Mother Goose Land. The purpose of the Girls' Athletic Association is to promote good sportsmanship, health, and recreation in athletics to any girl who is interested. Every girl in school is eligible for membership. G.

The club was organized three years ago for the purpose of earning money to pay for injuries that a player might receive and to help pay for sports equipment. The main event of the year was the carnival, a huge success held at the high school on Hallo- ween night. The otficers of the club are president, LeRoy Macklin, vice president, Tommy Garrison, secretary, lo Anne Barton: treasurer, Robert Blevins. PEP CLUB The M. H. S. Pep Club was organized this year by the cheerleaders and Mrs. Justus. There is not limited membership, making it the largest organization in the school. The purpose of the group is to introduce new yells to the student body, plan pep assemblies, and promote good sportsmanship and en- thusiastic cheering at all games. THE MACOMB HIGH BAND The high school band, in addition to playing at games and pep assemblies, takes part in district and state contests. Several ensembles and solos won first at the state finals last spring. This year our band has increased in size. For the first time in the history of the high school band, rehearsals are scheduled for a full period daily and on school time. This, of course, allows the band more rehearsal time and as a result the band has improved considerably. Mr. Mikita has done much in the way of inspiring the band members in an effort to establish an efficient band program. New uniforms were purchased this year. This gives the band added encourage- ment. This year the band participated in district and state contests. Several solos and ensembles and the band itself entered.
