Una Paincipal F. M. DANNENFELSER Wacafianal Zcfuccalfian in Waa rqmf Peace The importance of the four services-voca- tional guidance, vocational education, job place- ment, and follow-up, which this school offers to individuals, to industry, and to the community, is of greater need to-day and is of more outstand- ing value to every Toledo citizen and to every Toledo industry than ever before in the history of this school. The value of being guided into the right vocation and of being properly trained for it has been forced upon the consciousness of the American people by the past depression and the present emergency. The graduates of this school face shifting tides of fortune, some of you will be in the army of the front line, while others will be in the army of the production line. Every graduate of this school should be able to go forth to take his rightful place in the world of work, whether in war or peace, and with a few years of prac- tical experience, become a skilled craftsman. You should use the mental and manual skill and the related technical knowledge taught in this Fine institution to produce quality products, better and faster, and thereby prosper and suc- ceed in life. CIAFTSIAII In the skilled hands of American workmen, and Macomber graduates who are a part of this group, rests the fate of 130,000,000 Americans and of all humanity. On a thousand fronts in America there rages the greatest battle of pro- duction, to defend itself and its friends, the United Nations. A huge force is working quietly, but with tireless vigilance, to save men's lives and limbs, the taxpayers' money, and precious time. We face today the challenge of the ages, our task is to produce Ubetter and faster than our enemies, or we perish. We must all give the best we have of ability, energy, and effort or there may be no future in which to enjoy the freedoms which all Americans have learned to love. The opportunities for work and potential advancement for every 1942 Macomber graduate is greater than for graduates of any other year in our history. May you live a happy and useful life! May God watch over you, guide and direct you on your way, is the sincere wish of your principal, 14352 Page thirteen

It is their job to Contact business and industry to keep the re- quirements of our school properly geared to industry as the industrial world constantly changes. These latest trends and changes made in industry are reiterated to the instructors who see to it that our school keeps up to modern developments.
