CLAUDE S. CH PPLEAR, SUPERINTENDENT In the graduate school of Columbia University, I enjoyed the intimate friendship of an able Chinese scholar. Once in conversation, he inquired casually about the subjects my father taught. I told him my father was not a teacher but a farmer. He expresse unconcealed astonishment at this fact. He told me his father was a teacher and members of his family had been teachers for generations. In China, the pattern of life usually works out so that the young people are cast in the social and economic status of heir parents. To a very large extent, the same practice exists in the European countries. In the United States, we enjoy the freedom of movement in the social and economic classes of society not found in any other nation. The son of a day laborer is not necessarily limited by that iact. He may become a professional man or hold high political office in the United States. Our American high school is a true product of American democracy. The free public high school is the largest single factor providing opportunity for youth of integrity and intelligence irrespective of their social and economic background. I trust the students of the Macomb High School appreciate the opportunities provided by that institution and that they will hold fast and guard the principles of freedom and democracy in America, which makes possible the Macomb High School. W. N. ATKINSON PRINCIPAL Each class, as it is graduated, leaves behind some record of its achievements and carries with it memories of school days. May this book stand as one of the honors of the class of 1937 and likewise aid, in future years, in keeping bright the memory of happy days. The sincerest best wishes of the faculty, as of your principal, go with you. - { Page 7
