Freedom means free enterprise, free speech, free worship, free press, free ballot, and above all, free men. It should be remembered that if you hobble one you hobble all. This is the freedom our forefathers fought for at Bunkerhill and for which they suffered at Valley Forge. If we are to maintain it, we as individuals must be willing to serve as the watchdogs of democracy. If you would do this, seek to preserve the three great institutions upon which its existence depends, the home, the church, and the school. Whatever your life work may be remember that hard work, ingenuity and courage are the best guarantees of posperity and the only dependable quarantee of economic freedom and security. Any other course will lead to the destruction of our society, economic slavery, and (insecurity. Your future depends on how well and how much you contribute to the welfare of your fellowmen and how well you guard the blessings of liberty. Make it your goal to pass on to future generations a better world than the one in which you have lived. Mr. P. F. Shafer The present day high school is more than a place in which to study the so-called traditional subject matter. Its keynote is the development of abilities and attitudes within the individual which will enable him to make his way more efficiently in life. In doing this the student must learn to develop and maintain a healthy body. He must acquire a knowledge of our democracy, its heritage from the past, the processes by which it operates, and its possibilities for the future. He may, through various extra-curricular activities, gain an understanding of some of the things implied by membership within a group and the importance of co-operating with others. In laboratories, the opportunity is offered for all to acquire the basic understanding of science and its methods. Through literature and music, the opportunity is given to develop an appreciation of beauty and the use of these forms of expression in the more worthwhile U3e of leisure time. In the shops, valuable skills and techniques may be acquired and in the commercial field, opportunities are available for the student to develop abilities which will be of value in the world of business. In short, the purpose of our high schools is to enable each student to become a wTell rounded individual, ready to take his place in society as a worthy member. In looking back over the past year, have you availed yourself of all the opportunities offered? Can you say that you built for the future?

Caesar fought in Gaulic war, Or so my Latin said, It’s deep as an ocean (or more) Just can’t get it thru my head. History is not quite as bad, As math or science and such, But it still makes me very sad, ’Cause I don’t study it as much.

When you were first born you were brought into a world of war. You grew up and heard—“This country defeated—these people annihilated. In school you learned this country fights because it’s in her blood. Your first childhood friend was a Jew. You were told later to hate him because he is a Jew. Your first date was with a Catholic girl, And your Protestant friends jeered you. It’s your world now, my son. Make of it what you can. You have a castle to build, my son, take your time and build it well, For you will be building an eternity. —Mary Lou Walker BETTY EDWARDS AGANS ... red hair hut no temper . first senior bride . . usually wears a smile . . member of F.

Will NO t BOOK A few days after my arrival at M.H.S. I was tearing down the hall at tremendous rate of speed, when what should confront me but these words: “Look not mournfully into the Past it comes not back again”. I was torn by the desire to finish reading it and the necessity of arriving at class on time. So with great haste I read: “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.” With the lines haunting my memory I hurried the remaining way to English. There we were discussing the perils of Ivanhoe, but I was finding myself wandering back to the quotation. What wonderful meaning it had. Why was it there? Who wrote it? When was it hung there? What was the quotation from? These were my thoughts. These were the questions 1 wanted answered but couldn’t. After the last bell that day I went up the stairs and found it was at the head of both stairs and I stood there in the midst of all the hustle and bustle and read the lines once again. Two years have passed since that day and the quotation, like many other things about M. H. S., became so familiar that I hardly realized it was still there. Once again it was called to my attention; I resolved to find its source and I did. Have you ever wondered, as I, on this same question, or are you so familiar with it that to you it really doesn’t exist. If so, stop and read it and maybe you will once again understand what Henry Wadsworth Longfellow meant in the quotation from his poem “Hyperion.” —Eleanor Dixon A TRIBUTE TO OUR ATHLETES Did you ever stop to think what Macomb High would be like if we didn’t have athletics: Just think—there would be no football, basketball, or baseball games, no track meets, no athletic banquets, and no athletes running around the corridors with letters on their sweaters or jackets. This isn’t a very pretty picture, is it? But how many of us have really given a thought to our teams? Oh, of course we think of them on the days of the games, and at pep assemblies, but the players know that there is much more than that. Their school year begins many days before ours. They have football practice out in the hot sun while the rest of us are rounding up our summer’s activities. The boys have to learn plays and signals. Later on, in the winter, the boys begin basketball practice, and, with it comes the long evenings of practice over in the junior high gym. They have to stay home nights when perhaps they would much rather be out with the rest of the gang. When spring rolls around we find athletes out practicing for track and base-ball. No, the life isn’t too pleasant but the glory of the games make up for it. Athletics make heroes and stars of some high school boys, but even if a boy never gets in a game, he learns many things such as cooperation and teamwork. This year our teams have made good records. They deserve a tribute. We say, “Hats off to ‘Uncle Dave’, Mr. Haseltine, Mr. Alexander, and their boys. —Marilyn Underwood GLANCING THROUGH I III. TEARS In the autumn months of 1944, the hopecul class of 1948 arrived at M. H. S. In the four years that followed there were losses and gains in the class but seventy-four ended up with diplomas. During our freshman year we were a little scared and awed at the upper classes but by the time our sophomore year was over, we were seasoned students and took our place as upper classmen. In our junior year, hopes for success started rising and they just didn’t stop. “Running Wild”, a comedy in three acts, was presented on two successive nights before a large audience. The officers for that year were: President -------------------------------------------------- Bob Huff Vice-President------------------------------------- Betty Heidenreich Secretary ------------------------------------------------- Don Sala Treasurer------------------------------------------------ Dick Stone The outstanding event of that year was the Junior-Senior Prom. As a farewell to the departing seniors, “Souveniors” was used as the theme, and soft music with pretty girls in formals, added to the fun of the evening. At last the main year of school arrived. Our hopes of success had been fulfilled and the following people were chosen as leaders of the class: President _________________________________________________ Don Sala Vice-President __________________________________ Betty Heidenreich Secretary _________________________________________________Joan Yoho Treasurer_____________________________________________Delvin French The Sentinel, a bi-weekly newspaper, was published by members of the senior class. Crowns were bestowed upon Marilyn Underwood and Tommy Garrison at the Homecoming dance. Betty Heidenreich was honored by being chosen as winner of the D. A. R. award and the best Thespian of the year was Don Sala. The prom was again a great event. Thank you juniors; it was wonderful. At last it was time for Baccalaureate and Commencement. How much older and wiser and even sadder we felt in our caps and gowns than when we first arrived. Yes, the class of ’48 has had four wonderful years in Macomb High School and we hope we’ve left something pleasant for other classes to remember us by. MT CHIEDHCX )D IMPULSES When I was a child, which was quite a few years ago, everyone said that I was mean, and had a very bad temper, hut I’ll let you in on a secret. It was just mi- getting an impulse, and trying it out. They were so strong that I would have died if I didn’t. One of the most horrible impulses I had was when I was seven years old. I was in church before it started, and I got the sudden feeling that I wanted to throw paper wads. Because I was sitting in the front seat of the church gallery, it was easy to pick out my objective. A lady, who was wearing a big brimmed hat was right under me. I tore the corners off my prayer book, and aimed carefully, seeing how many paper wads I could land on her hat. Another time was when I was seeing melodrama at a movie, in which the villain was about to strangle the fair maiden. Then it hit me, and right there on the spur of the moment I let out with a long, loud yawn. By the time everyone quit laughing, the hero had rescued the maiden and the villain was foiled again. When I was in the first grade, I had a schoolmate 1 did like very much. She was always dropping bits of paper on the floor and blaming it on me of course, I always had to be the one who had to pick them up. One day she dropped her color crayon, and bent over to pick it up, which was a terrible mistake. My left foot found its mark, and my impulse was satisfied. The most enjoyment I received from following one of my impulses was when I threw a cream puff at our hired girl. I had eaten mine, and wanted another, so I snatched hers. She stamped her foot on the floor, held out her hand and asked me to give it to her. When I refused she started to chase me around the kitchen table. I found out she was really mad when she again stamped her foot, held out her hand, and threatened to give me a spanking if I did not give it to her. I gave it to her all right, right in the face. Sometimes I think it was worth the spanking that I received when mother came home. The day I drowned my favorite kitten giving it a bath in the washing machine, was the last time I ever tried one of my impulses. I guess that taught me a lesson, I’ll never forget. —Dorothy Arnold WiA T’S TOUR NICKNAME) Do you have a nickname? Most of the high school students have one. In fact, every person should have and usually does have one in his life at some time or other. Nicknames have a very odd way of getting started. They may concern your size, hair, personality, character, or they may just be cut shorter than the real name. Some people may get their nicknames by someone else they know who has the same name as they have. Some get them from comic strips. Others get their nicknames from their initials while others might get a nickname where they work. All of you have probably heard some of these famous nicknames around the halls of M. H. S. or even the classroom. How many do you recognize?

II. S. HOMECO MMNnvnfj Marilyn Underwood and Tommy Garrison were crowned queen and king at our annual Homecoming Dance on October 3, 1947. The queen was a transfer from Industry High and is one of the cheerleaders. The king has gone to Macomb all four years and has been outstanding in athletics. The attendents to the queen were Betty Heidenreich, Joan Yoho, Alyce Runkle and Eva Johnston. The attendants to the king were Bob Huff, Elmer Wilson, Delvin French, and Ted Ellis. The dance was held in the high school gymnasium which was decorated to correspond with the theme “Night Flight”. A canopy of clouds and stars with glittered bombers hanging among them hung above the dancers. The back drop was a replica of a bomber on velvet drapes. The parade preceeded the football game against Lewistown and the game ended in our favor with a score of 38-0.

IhAND Last fall, the high school band added greatly to the enjoyment of our new football field. They played stirring marches and marched during the halves of the games. The pep produced at basketball games and pep assemblies would have been greatly missed without it. At the district band contest held in Carthage on April 10, 1948, our school band rated first place in Class B competition. On the ensemble entered, the Woodwind Trio received a first rating. This enabled them to appear in the state contest at Taylorvillc on April 30, and May 1. Last summer the band received a second place trophy in the Illinois State Fair Band Contest. Also during the summer they played a concert at Astoria’s homecoming. As a spring project, they helped sponsor the appearance of the Navy Band. The members of our band ushered at the afternoon performance of the Navy Band. On April 28, the M. H. S. Band presented a Spring Concert at the junior high school.

You may say, ‘Of course I do. That’s certainly a funny question to ask.” Well, if you know the difference, which one do you practice? Take for instance an incident that happened at a recent ball game which showed bad sportsmanship on the part of some spectators. The gym echoed and re-echoed with boos and yells when a player was trying for a free shot. This does not show much courtesy, especially when one point could win or lose the game. Put yourself in the place of that player and see how you feel. There are only a few minutes left to play and one point is needed to win the game. You’re just about ready to shoot and it seems as though all thunder is breaking loose. The noise rattles you, the shot goes wild, and there goes the game, gone because the spectators do not have enough good sportsmanship to keep still during that time. The point is not whether you win thgames all the time but how you act while winning or losing. How about it? Let’s all yell when the right time comes, but stop when it’s time to show courtesy. —Betty Heidenreich SENIOR SlIR-DER The Senior Sub-Deb Club consists of thirty-six juniors and seniors who hold meetings every second Thursday in the month. The activities include social meetings and community activities. The outstanding event of the year is the sponsoring of the spring formal.

Boys out for track were: Bud James Jack Dunsworth Tommy Garrison Tad Hemp Bill Statler Elmer Wilson Myron DeRosa Bill Roe Dan Sala Bob Roe Carl Sturm Glen Hendrickson Bill Collins Tom Barry Glen Birdsell Jack Hysel Bill Setser Mervin Steele Daryl Vail Jim Rogers Leroy Daniels Dick Underwood Jim Hartley Elmo Edwards Bob Poland R AS Rib ARR TheBombers team was weakened this year due to the loss of most of last years lettermen. Because most of the boys this year had quite a lot of experience they make up a hustling and fine combination of fielding and hitting team. During the Season Macomb’s lineup was changed from time to time but most lettermen held their positions throughout the season. The players and their positions were as follows: Dick Stone______________________________________________ Catcher Marion Stoneking_____________________________ Pitcher, Shortstop Dick Underwood_________________________________________First Base George Chenoweth______________________________________Second Base Jack Frakes_____________________________________________ Shortstop Stanley Slusher, Elmer Wilson__________________________Third Base Bob Fosdyck___________________________________________Center Field Jerry Vawters___________________________________________Left Field Donnie Arnold, Myron DeRosa__________________________ Right Field Others that were out for this sport and saw much action are as follows: Gilbert, pitcher; Silberer, catcher; James, first base; King, pitcher; Garrison, outfield; Gilbert, second base. 6HE.BR headers Marilyn Underwood, Mary Bushnell, Janet Lundberg, Judy Fluegel. THE EECEK Oh, clock that’s ticking on the shelf, Tell me — how much time? Will I have time to see the trees turn green again? The flowers to bloom? — to feel the summer winds against my face? Will I have time to walk again among God’s creatures? Will I have time to watch the slow brook move? Will I have the time to watch the one’s I love die? Oh, clock, that’s ticking on the shelf, How — much — time? I lie at death’s door — and hear you speak, And yet I know not what you say. Oh, clock, that’s speaking from the shelf Speak louder — speak louder. Your face has grown so dim — Your voice so silent. Oh my clock — my — little — clock Tell me — How------Much--------Time? —Mary Lou Walker AUTOGRAPHS + ., . .. . .. . .. . • « « � ■ «!
