'Ill 1S30 Spider Web C Icknowledgment In behalf of the annual staff of 1930, we wish primarily to thank all the business men, the teachers, students, and all others who have responded so generously to our requests, and have helped to make this book a success. We have tried to prove our gratefulness to you by constructing each department to the best of our ability, and we hope that you will enjoy it thoroughly as a reward for your services. Much of the credit for this book is due to Mr. Richard Freeman, our annual sponsor. Under his supervision, we have endeavored to be fair to all classes and groups, placing first those which we consider more important and later those which were of less importance. In one department only has this project failed—that of the clubs and organizations. Throughout th’s book the chief aim of the staff has been to review the hours of toil and pleasure, joy and sadness, which we have experienced during our four short years at Macomb High School. Another purpose of this book is to honor somewhat the Senior Class, and may it prosper in years to come! When you are old and gray may this annual help you in recalling to yourself, your friends, and children the happiest days of your life—those at high school. We sincerely hope that the Spider Web will be received by the readers in the same spirit in which it was written, that of friendship and loyalty. We have put our best work into this book and although there may be mistakes, either because of lack of time or ignorance, be kind to them for, to err is human; to forgive divine. We also hope that our work has equalled or even surpassed the record set by the former graduating classes of Macomb High School. The Staff.

30 DC 30 “araiB 1 30 flpiflfiT Web oc 30 OC 30 OC 30 A Ship of Dreams From the port of lofty ambition. Into a night so dark. In search of a fanciful longing, A ship of dreams embarks. Sailing onward through tranquil seas. Impelled by a soul's demand. Reaching the end of the journey, Near the shores of a distant land. Back o’er the motionless waters. With breezes that gently blow. The ship returns to the harbor. Laden with a priceless cargo. Some ships fail in their mission And sink with all of their crew— Those hopes that are only illusions. Those dreams that never come true! —Virginia Everett. 301
