His chief professional interest is the teaching of reading, a field in which he has had marked success in Macomb. He is also interested in stamp collecting and other hobbies. This spring Dr. Chappelear completes his sixth year as head of the Macomb Public Schools. It is with regret that we learn that he will not return next year, but we wish him the best of success in his new position. Loren E. Taylor, Principal Mr. Loren E.

Mr. Taylor has brought to his position both administrative and personal gual-ities which have won the high regard of faculty and students.

There, in four letters, lie many different shades—and moods—and objects. The sky is blue, a flimsy, fragile blue. Blue is the color of delicate flowers. There are blue lines on paper to guide hurrying pen points or slow, deliberate moves of a pencil held by a child. A glazed blue vase holds the stiff stalks of lilies. Walls display silver stars or multicolored flowers against a blue background. There are rustling dresses of rough blue taffeta and guiet dresses of a deep, rich, blue velvet. The glass of a perfume bottle is a cold blue. The blankets and clothes of a baby are tiny, soft, blue things. There is the Blue Danube—a romantic river, but also the suggestion of a lovely waltz. People are sometimes blue. There are blue days, gray and dreary. Blue stands for truth. In one place we all love it most. That is the blue field of truth on which forty-eight white stars are emblazoned—the flag of the United States of America. —Peggy Graham Page 16 ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ CLASS OFJ1942 First Row Amrrine.

There are certain standards which this girl must have fulfilled during the past year. These girls are awarded G.A.A. pins.

This year's officers were: President—Thelma Thompson Secretary—Judy Bailey Vice-President—Annabelle Hart Treasurer—Norma Jean Thompson Biblical Questionnaire Club Throughout the year the Bible Club members have met every Tuesday Evening to hear various speakers and musicians. One of the highest points of the year came, we believe, when Mr. Rex Moon spoke to our club. From his words of admonition we gained a greater knowledge of the Bible and how to be of greater service to our fellowmen. Throughout the year we have had the several holidays of the year.

The football season was a moderate success in games won and lost but there were several high spots which students will long remember. One of them was the 19 to 0 victory over Jacksonville before a large following ol Macomb students who made the long trip to see the game. The team was perhaps at its best in the Carthage and Farmington games and the wide margin of victory over Bushnell provided a satisfying climax to the season. The basketball team got off to a slow start but showed constant and steady improvement throughout the season as shown in the return games with Rushville and Academy. The victory over Academy and the celebration which followed was undoubtedly one of the most memorable occasions of the entire year. Many of the games which were lost were thrilling and closely contested. After losing the first game to Ipava, the baseball team hit its stride and built up an impressive string of victories which bid fair to continue throughout the season. Revenge for the Ipava defeat was gained in a hard-fought 4 to 3 decision. The track team won fourth place in the conference meet and placed first by a wide margin in the county meet. The outstanding track performers were Cooper, Lee, Croxton, and Hemp who composed the relay team which set a new record in the county meet. A number of seniors completed their high school sports careers this year. Keith Rigg played guard on the football team and enjoyed remarkable success considering the fact that this was the only year he was out for a position. He was a good defense man and was continually opening holes for the backfield. Howard Polonus, the only senior on the basketball sguad, is a two year letter man. Bill Stookey was the dependable center and honorary captain of the football team. He has earned one letter. George Jackson, also with one letter, was a husky, effective tackle. Edward Cooper, a two letter man, played halfback and was noted for his wide sweeps around the ends. His speed also stood the track team in good stead. Jean Hegstrom was the heaviest man on the sguad. He has earned two letters and proved equally effective both on defense and offense.

WHAT’S SPRING What’s spring to a person who has lived in an old ramshackle hut all his life on a scorching desert! It's just an advance in age, some say, but let me tell you the true sense of spring, now as I look back through my years. It was back in the spring of 1867, when Molly, she's in heaven now, started housekeeping. We moved from the Kansas Territory to our little settlement here in Death Valley. We thanked Spring for having brought us together. We were now looking ahead for a future of gladness and contentment together in the valley. By the spring of 1871, we had our little oasis home, and two sunny-faced children. Old Shock Jordon, who had a little spread about two miles o'er on the other side of Brette County, visited us nearly every Saturday night. We were glad to welcome his companionship. We would get out an old bag of shelled pop-corn, and Molly would make a big platter of taffy. He would bring his old mandolin, and play some of those tunes that were popular then. Afterwards, we would sit around the fire and talk of local and of the foreign states out East. In the late part of 1905, Molly took ill with pneumonia. Complications came and she passed away in the spring of 1906. I hated to see her passing, but I had to remember that life is only an ill-fated string that can be cut at any certain time. Naturally, that spring was an unhappy one, yet I had to keep on looking after our children, even though they were both past thirty-five. Now, though I am ninety-seven, I am still looking for the youth in Spring.I, with the guidance of God's hand, will help let Spring live on to beautify and to help make this a valley of youth. —Kenneth Gamage Qualities of Ideal Manhood Four gualities that an ideal man should possess, are ambition, a sense of humor, unselfishness and courage. These gualities, from my point of view, are ideal and would help a man to go far in being a success in life. In the first place, no one can climb the ladder of success without ambition. In fact in order to be successful, a man must possess a high sense of ambition, for it is the first and most important stepping stone to success. No matter in what field his talents lead him, whether a student, business man or politician, artist or what have you, the urge to go ahead is fired by the inner spark of ambition which spurs him on to attain the goal he so desires. A sense of humor is second in my view, being very essential in man's life. It helps to smooth the rocky road at times, saving many awkward moments and at times puts the man at ease. A sense of humor makes one a more interesting companion and he always possesses a fine guality of tolerance towards others. It helps greatly in building an interesting personality. Unselfishness comes third and is one of the finest gualities in man, a trait one always admires in others. An unselfish person is always courteous in his treatment of other people, making his little everyday acts stand out brightly, therefore making life more pleasant for those with whom he comes in contact. Courage comes last, yet is probably the most important. Courage is a noticeable guality in man, shown even from his first tottering baby steps. One might have several admirable gualities, yet lack courage. On the battle field we hear of courage being shown by men who at the last moment gathered courage to fight on, when their desire was to flee at the sound of guns, yet some spark spurred them on and thus changed them from a timid person to one with the vim and vigor of a courageous man. We admire speakers who have the courage to face thousands of people and talk calmly and thus inspire the crowd of listeners facing them. We admire a person who when he knows he is right is not afraid to stand up and defend his views. A man blessed with a generous guantity of ambition, sense of humor, unselfishness, and courage, will travel far in this world and do many good deeds, perhaps not all recorded in this world, but will be on the White and Gold Book in Heaven, as his just reward when weary of traveling the road of life. —Marion Davis This Year People were just getting back to normal last September. A year of war had knocked a lot of pet ideas into limbo what with the impregnable” Maginot line going and taking with it everything it meant and leaving an awful feeling of insecurity and a notion that what one just naturally believed in might not be true. Congress helped an awful lot in getting back to normal, for it acted in the same old way shouting in-flamatory speeches about the rights of the people and in general holding up necessary laws. Maybe though it was the fact that action had begun. Americans are all right if they feel that they are getting somewhere. The National Guard was being mobilized and in a short time draftees would begin to register. Some people thought it was terrible and others said it was just the thing to harden up the supposedly soft younger generation. No matter how they stood on the matter though, everyone found himself affected by the new feel in the air. Since the atmosphere was so filled with electricity, it was thought that the presidential campaign would be very dirty and fast moving, but the whole thing was carried on in an upright manner without a bit of smudge except for a memorable speech by Ickies and a few rotten eggs that were heaved at Willkie. The final results of the election gave Roosevelt a small popular majority and a large one in the Electoral College. The two men had been too much alike in their theories and in their attitude toward foreign affairs to allow a clear-cut argument to come about. However, two definte truths were evident as a result. One was the fact that the Republican party of the last fifty years was dead and a new liberal organization was taking its place. The other was that the nation as a whole was ready to take a more active part in the world affairs. After an election, the nation usually lakes a breathing spell and this it did, although the factories were frantically working on defense and British orders. The nation's conscience was a bit worried about the food problem in conquered Europe, and just how far short of war meant, but really everyone was thinking about the personal complications that mobilization and draft brought about. Night bombings of both England and Germany were daily news reports. The way England was fighting back was beginning to decrease the terror of the German war machine. Roosevelt stirred the nation with his destroyer-naval bases deal, but since it was an accomplished fact, it was generally accepted by the people. Italy's attack on the small nation of Greece in November seemed only an echo of the last winter's Finn-Russo war, but the sudden licking of the Italians by their tiny foes gave the world a much needed change with the chasing of the Italians over the Libyan Desert by the Aussies.” This gave back to many people the confidence they so badly lacked. After his inaugeration Roosevelt determined to put aid to Britain in concrete form had introduced to Congress his Lease-Lend Bill. It took many weeks to pass it through a battle which knew no party lines. Willkie found himself fighting on the side of his former foe and so it was down through the ranks. In the meantime the Balkins were becoming volcanic. Rumania joined the axis and was occupied by German troops. In a little while someone incited a rebellion which was soon crushed, but which showed that the Balkans were still the Balkans. Unrest was reported ir Italy. Everyone was waiting for Hitler to act. He did. Bulgaria was brought into the axis and then he swung the pressure on to Jugoslavia. But there he hit a snag, for the Serbs who had so often fought against oppression were ready to fight again. Their leader stalled as long as he could and then gave in. The Germans shouted their victory. But then came reports that a coup-d'etat had been brought about, that the Prince Regent Paul had given the reins of government to the boy king, Peter. People began to say, This is it! Now we will see. Unfortunately they did. They saw the Germans as invincible as ever, sweep down and conquer. The whole tale will not be known for a long while, but apparently it will be one of too many disagreeing factions, of too long supply lines, of two few air fields, of too much bravery and not enough machines. That's the story of a crazy, bloody, history-making year. It's all starting over again right now. Strikes and dirty dealings here; wars and rebellion and hunger there. But then there are a lot of other things we can remember other than that. For instance: There were news reel shots of wrestlers doing their stuff in everything from mud to ice cream, the World's Fair in New York closed, Tobacco Road''came to the screen at last, there was a joke to the effect that a girl couldn't be sure of the fact whether it was love or the draft. A lot of old songs came back to life, people seemed to whistle most The Wind and the Rain in Your Hair'' and I Do, Do You, and, oh yes, women's hats reached the ultimate in the idiotic! Secrets A great amount ot meaning is implied in the word secret. You might tell a friend something personal which should not be repeated to someone else; you might tell something merely for the sake of conversation; or, you might even tell a secret to somebody in order to get in good with that person. The first type ot secret is that of telling a friend something personal. This case is a very common one. You are with your best friend the major part of your time and you are usually influenced greatly by this person's ideas. This person is willing to confide in you and you feel since she is your best friend and can be trusted, you should share with her your own trials, troubles, joys, and sorrows. (These are all, to a certain extent, secrets.) To confide in your friend is perfectly all right, but you should always remember that the secret things you tell her might place her in a difficult position, since she has promised you faithfully she would not tell and she is, of course, expected to keep her word. If a secret would in anyway endanger the happiness of a friend of yours, you should be wise and not burden her with it. A second type ot secret is called a conversational secret. You might be walking down the street with a person whom you do not especially like, and for the sake ot subject matter upon which to talk, you tell this person something in the form of a secret. If the person is a shy type ot school girl, she will probably be over-joyed at the thought of sharing a secret with someone else. As time moves on this secret might cause her worry and ill health. Then again, if she happens to be the I know-it-all type ot girl, the chances are that she will get your story all mixed up and difficulties will arise which might cause serious complications. It is a good idea not to become a conversationalist with your secrets. The third type of secret is used when one person desires very much to get in good with someone else. A person might be only a casual acguaintance of a very popular girl; yet, in order to secure the friendship of this popular girl, the person will tell to her a secret which might be of great importance to a great number of people. The popular girl, without thinking, perhaps, will tell this secret to anyone who comes along; conseguently, it is no longer a secret, but an open subject that anyone who so desires, may discuss. After all is over, the chances are the girl, who told the secret formerly, is not any closer to being an intimate friend with the popular girl than she was in the first place. In closing I would like to guote Markham on his guatrain, YOUR WHISPERED SECRET. You told it to your triend; his oath was deep; Now, here's a guestion for your wisdom shelf: Why did you hope some other one would keep The secret that you could not keep yourself. Beryl Frances Dougherty Haircuts Haircuts, one of the essentials of this civilized world, may be classified into many types. Haircuts are not only designed to suit certain facial features, but also may be looked at from the standpoint of character, climate, ideals, and economy. First let us take the crock-haircut. This fate usually falls on innocent children. To perform this example of the shearers, all that is required is a crock (small size preferred) and a pair of scissors. The task is both simple and short. Merely put the crock on the victim's head and carefully clip the hair around it. This is always successful unless the crock slips, in which case you place a smaller crock on the unfortunate person's head and begin again. At the best this specimen of barbering is never too good, and makes the victim's hair look as though it might be removable. I think this method is more economical than stylish. Next we have the gentleman who considers himself a second Samson, or Tarzan, whichever he admires most. His hair gives him a feeling of strength so he shuns the barber and lets it curl up over his collar. The only advice I could give to this specimen of humanity is to purchase a dog license, which I feel would be most appropriate. Third, we have the direct opposite of number two. This is the Crew Haircut, also very closely related to the Sing-Sing Special. These are very popular in summer when the boys feel they need a load off their minds. The only difference between the Crew Haircut and the Sing-Sing Special is that in the “Crew Haircut enough fuzz is left to prevent sunburn. This may not be a very handsome style but to say the least it is comfortable. Next is the Scotchman's Standby. This may be of any style, but the name is derived from the method by which it is done. The hair is clipped short and high, thus preventing the tight-fisted gentleman from having to have it done often. This may be appealing on some people, but alas and alack, the poor fellow with big ears! It may seem that I have been very lenient with the fairer sex, but the artificial hair-curling devices seem to have replaced barbering. To those who still frequent the shearer's shop I might make a final warning. Always watch your barber,' for more than one person has been ruined during a fifteen minute sit in a barber chair. —Betty Arterburn Some Keep the Sabbath Some keep the Sabbath going to church; I keep it staying up late. Listening to the radio In my new Buick eight. Some keep the Sabbath in surplice; I just wear my water wings, And instead of tolling the bell for church, The vibrant diving board springs. God preaches—a noted clergyman,— And the sermonette is never heavy; So instead of getting to Heaven at last. I'm there already! —John Ruitzel America for You and Me Who is so perfidious, that cannot say, That I love America better every day? Even though a factory, or two Cannot give work to one of you. Who is so fastidious, that will not agree. That America's the place for you and me? Over here we can walk about. But over there the cannons' shout! We are Americans, as we always shall be; One for all, and all are free! And with each other, we can seek a reunion For United we stand as the greatest in Union! —Kenneth E. Gamage Tri-Hi-Y The purpose of the Tri-Hi-Y Club is to create, maintain, extend, high standards of Christian character. This is a national organization, being a branch of the Y.W.C.A. The club sponsored the annual Christmas Dance which proved to be a big success. Throughout the year we had pot-luck suppers, theater parties, and also guest speakers for some of our meetings. In its three years of existence in Macomb High, the Tri-Hi-Y has grown greatly in membership. The faculty sponsor is Miss Demontes Britt. President—Marjorie Grandt Secretary—Anne Eddington Vice-President—Frances Sticklen Treasurer—Mildred Elting The Sentinel For the first time in its history, Macomb High school presented a printed paper. This publication was presented bi-weekly to the student body by a diligent staff. It sold for five cents a copy and was made up of news, special features, editorials, and sports write-ups. Journalism was offered as a full-credit class to any student having a B English average. The students were taught the full make up of the paper, how to write leads, headlines, and special columns. Much of the time was spent in ad soliciting, writing, and covering school events. The class sponsored a dance earlier in the fall to make money for the first issue. Faculty advisor is Miss Vera Gene Morris. Several papers were sent to various schools and in return, the Journalism class received many interesting exchanges. The staff consisted of: Caryl Carstens Mary Jane Lewis Peggy Graham Marjorie McLean Virginia York Patricia Hemp Howard Polonus Marjorie Grandt Bill Levin Frederick Purdum Don Amerine Charles Nell Lyle McNeil Roy Kernal Keith Strader Class Reporters: Dorothy Grandt, freshman; Myrlene Pointer, sophomore; Bill Gillidette, junior Sub-Deb Club The Sub-Deb Club, a social club for junior and senior girls, was organized in 1935. The club has sponsored many successful events during the year. It consists of girls interested in social affairs. Meetings were held cn alternate Mondays during activity period. On April 25, the club sponsored its annual Spring Dance at which Miss Anne Eddington was crowned gueen. Her attendants were the Misses Jean Murphy, Marjorie McLean, Peggy Graham, and Marjorie Grandt. The club also sponsored many social affairs including a Christmas matinee dance, Sadie Hawkin's Dance, Sweater and Skirt Dance, two pot-luck suppers, and the annual Sub-Deb Breakfast. Talks were given by Miss Patricia Wyne, Mrs. Ursula Willis, and Mr. Rothenburg. Faculty advisors are Miss Vera Gene Morris, Miss Edith Churchill, and Miss Helen Watson.
