B. Foley, a teacher in the Toledo Public Schools for more than 25 years, three of which were spent teaching science and mathematics, at Ma- Pcmgabnr comber, in work related to the electrical trade. Mr. Foley was born on De- cember 8th, 1893 in the state of Louisiana. He received his bach- elor of Science Degree from the University of Toledo in 1929 and his M. S. degree from the Uni- versity of Michigan in 1936. Aside from his teaching ca- reer, Mr. Foley spent two years in the navy at the New Orleans Navy Yard, where he was an electrical engineer, radio engi- neer, and a draftsman. An amateur radio enthus- iast, Mr, Foley was one of the first radio Hams in Toledo to build his own receiving and transmission set. In 1920 he help- ed organize the radio depart- ment at Scott High School and also during the World War II, he trained radio operators for the Army Signal Corps at Woodward High School. Mr. Foley enjoyed a colorful career. We students who knew him, regarded him as more than just a teacher, but as a true friend, beloved by all who knew him. ' Administration S lm E. L, Bowsher Superintendent of Schools In reality there has been only one Crea- tor, the One, we are told: Who created the Heavens and Earth and all that is therein. Man, through scientific discovery, educa- tion, and toil has put to work the forces of nature, and has utilized the materials found in, on, and above the earth for the benefit of Humanity. In this progressive development educa- tion has played an important part. And so, today We find, in our system of education, a training in basic skills which is necessary to the conversion of raw materials into use- ful products. - Typical of such a program, the Macomber Vocational High School gives an opportunity foriyouth to secure the basic skills and re- lated information by means of which boys are enabled to it into the continuing progress of Industrial Production. xx K' ' We Create is an excellent theme for the 1947 Craftsman, The purpose of vocational education is to instill in the minds of students the desire to acquire creative skills. That the various offerings at Macomber Vocational High School are responsible for developing creative skills in a number of basic trades is an indication that Macomber is achieving its purpose. My congratulations to the members of the 1947 graduating class. Your records is a credit to the school. Macomber has provided real educational opportunities for all of you- Carl T. Cotter Director of Vocational Education Page six Our Principal The manipulative skill of trained hands is important. Manual dexterity is of value, as is all muscular sense, which helps us to do our physical work well. And what is of more importance is that the physical, muscular, or manipulative is very necessary to a well bal- anced individual personality. One cannot be thinking, using his mental processes all the time, with no physical work, without detri- mental eifect to himself and others with whom he comes in contact. Work with the hands in clay, wood, metal, and plastics, is ?Zf being prescribed by psychiatrists to help cu re the emotially, mentally, and nervously sick people. Most of the world's useful work, in the performance of the production processes in the industrial world, and in the completimi of the construction concepts in the build g field, is done physically and requires tht manual dexterity and manipulative skill of the craftsman. The mental factor is also of outstanding importance. The thinking process always has to precede the physical work and these men- tal and manual processes always have to be coordinated. It has often been stated that the difference between the ordinary workmen and the highly skilled expert mechanic or craftsman is directly proportioned to his knowledge of the related technical knowledge required in that field of work. The emotional aspect, the way we feel about the work we do, is also very important. This results in the formation of our attitude toward our work, toward our fellow worker, and toward our company or organization. It often conditions our interest or how well we do our work. One's emotional attitude re- sults in high or low ideals regarding the work he does, and the ethics he uses in dealing with those with whom he works. Proper emotional balance is the basis of proper hu- man relations and our ability to get along well with others. Much of the useful creative work of the world which helps to produce the Wealth of mankind is done with hands. F. M. Dannenfelser Principal ! Coordinatowfb f V - , 4 fx Hx D- C. Riblei . Walter T.

Under the guidance of our officers: Robert Ivan, president, James Yonkee, vice-president, Humberto Hernandez, secretaryg Jerry Herget, treasurer, and our advisor Mr. Earl Kaiser, many successful activities were planned. These included the Senior Skate January 27, The Senior Prom, held May 9g and the Senior Banquet on May 22. These activities give the students a taste of the highlights in the future. The Senior Board is divided into sub-committees. Each with a chairman and four or more helpers. These committees included the Social Committee, Pin Com- mittee, The Senior Name and Announcement Card Committee, which was headed by Kenneth Hall and Don Wenclawski. Lldyd Eubank was in charge of the Program Committee, and the Publicity Committee was headed by Jay Crawford. The 1947 Senior Board of Control Wishes that in the future, Macomber have bigger, better, and more successful Senior Boards. Page Adams. Elmer Machine Shop Berndi. Reber! Electricity Boyer.

Our popular friend, Kilroy, has visited, among other places, the Future, and now, relates to you part of what he saw in 1960. Richard Chilcote was seen flying rocket ships to the moon. His cousin, Jim Chilcote, was debating the cost of living in Congress against the Republicans and the Democrats. Jerry Robedeau was selling helicopters to the average man in Tiedtke's depart- ment store. Jack Stimpfle and Venom Nomecek were selling papers for Robert Connolly, circulation manager of The Blade! Besse 8x Hall, Inc. was giving Tom Szymanski and George Whitmill tough competition as Toledo Architectural Draft- ers. Louis Erin Modrall was seen wrest- ling in a carnival side-show with Clarence Holtfreter. Robert Grimes and James Neshkofi were selling used cars in Bulgaria. Name of lot: The Soaring Clutchmenf' Robert Upton and Bob Long were automotive engineers for the Pegorsch Motor Co. Melvin Olzak and Spencer Calcamug- gio were employed by the Julius Hager Cabinet Works. Leonard Krieger and John Turek were running against each other, believe it or not for the Presidency of the Unite States!! Jay Crawford was chief stable boy at the Ft. Miami race track. Val Kline and Fred Taylor were co- owners of the Coliseum Roller Rink , whatyaknow? Ed Kramer was selling pencils to Bob Ogle in the Lasalle and Koch's stationery department. Mac McKinniss passed by pushing a stock cart. Page thirty-nine Pierce Holtfreter was Treasurer of the Auto-Lite Company! Hc was seen deposit- ing money at the Bostwick, Lawson, and Eubank - it Co. James Yonkee. Paul Revenaugh, and Don Red Henry were still going strong, each in his own way. Know what we mean? William Grandy turned preacher, John Brierley, preacher QD, Herman DeBrosse, a politician, and Eugene Kubiak, an elec- trician. Steve Moschetti was chosen Mr, America of 1960 . Make way, Mr. Atlas. George Sass invented an electrical de- vice which made housework so easy that men stopped getting married - Oh, happy day! Jimmy McGee was making Tommy Manville look like a piker. fKilroy could be wrong, Jimmy.J Frankie Nowak was still going steady with Emily !!! Must have something in common, huh? Bob Schultz and Willy Hermann fthe Blah boysj were writing a book on How to Lose Friends and Discourage People. Howard Neuman was selling tickets to the eskimos on an ice box raffle. Doing nicely, too. fThat guy can sell ANYthing, to ANYbody, ANY time.J Ned Barnes was leading a movement to destroy the Democratic party, labor unions, and women drivers. Don Stallter was leading a movement to destroy Ned Barnes. Steve Tyburski, Navy veteran, was having a schooner dedicated to him. Don't ask us what was in the schooner. Ted Bigelow was monopolizing all Tol- edo welding companies. Since he was the only '47 Macomber Welding grad, he figures he's Within his rights. And now, last but not least, Robert Ivan, president of the Senior Class of '47, was seen playing with the Toledo Jeeps. Veterans Page f . M !yf,4fc,4,f,,-1,5 :MA :Jw- Juniors 5, ,W jul' JQM 1,94 W0 rj r XL-N'-7J Junior Snaps Page! forty-tw Junior Class History On a bright and sunny morn in Sep- tember 1945, 398 boys from all over the city came to Macomber and became sophmores. Their first year was a hard one for most of them, new teachers, new schedules, new friends, all made it confusing for them, but they soon adjusted themselves to their new surroundings. The year was a good one for the school in athletics, the basketball team won top spot in the city league, the baseball team won city and district championship, and, the golf team was one of the best. The year went fast, January exams, the basketball banquet, and before the fellows knew it June and summer vacation. They came back to school in Septem- ber as Juniors, the class having decreased a bit due to natural causes . This year the social life around school was greatly in- creased over the past year as the fellows were allowed to attend the Senior Prom, which is always a lot of fun for everyone. The boys attended the dances at Whit- ney, and their shops had parties with the girls across the street. Many boys joined the different clubs around the school, The Hi Y Club, The Engineers Club, and Pro- jection Club, and all the other organiza- tions. They sold papers for The Hi-Crier fsome lucky fellows got to sell them at Whitneyj. They worked on the 'Craftsman' staff and all the other things that they had time for. The boys are beginning to realize the importance of their shop training and they are more settled down then they were the first year. The boys got their class rings this year, however, I wonder how many still have them, or if they have given them to that girl. Some of the Big Wheels of the Class of 48 are: Nick Romano, Paul King, Eu- gene Obee and Denny Miller, who have a promising future in basketball, Itollie Hower, who is the very efficient editor of The Hi-Crier, and his staff which included Dick Sund, as make-up editor. This year they have gained much ex- perience which will help them to fill the shoes of the graduating Seniors.

In all their shops and related classes they have given their whole-hearted co-oper- ation to better themselves and promote the welfare of their school. Each boy's dream is to learn a vocation so that he can be a more efficient, skilled worker and a better citizen of America. Besides learning skilled vocations they have participated in various athletic and so- cial activities during the past school year. They excelled records of previous classes in athletic activities, such as basketball, baseball bowling, tennis, and golf. In addition they have proven themselves worthy of responsi- bilities on many of our various organizations throughout the school. In gym classes many boys took part in volleyball and sideline basketball tourna- ments. This was very interesting to most boys although many of them expressed their re- gret that intramural activities were not car- ried on this school year. They also expressed their hopes that this activity will be resumed next year. Last year Sophomores were looking up to the traditions of the servicemen who now are present with them in shop and related classes. The boys have taken the veterans in stride and have included them as part of their class. This foresight and understandng on the part of the Sophomores have brought them congratulations from the members of the school faculty. In the future the Sophomores, who will be the young men of tomorrow, are looking forward to the day they graduate and step into the world as skilled workers. To the graduating class, the Sophomores extend, with best wishes, all the luck in the world so that they may prosper economically and socially in their later life. And, it is the hope of the Sophomore Class to be able to maintain the high standards that the Senior Class obtained over the years that they have been students of Macomber Vocational High School. nggul J N f -it . . a ff--sf s..j .Lf,f Page sixty-one Q Sophomores lst Row: Donald Adams, Harold Adoline, George Aubry, John Aurandt, Jerry Bach, Carl Bachmayer. 2nd Row: Tom Ball, Torn Baranoski, Tom Beaudry, Harry Benford.

U 14 W CMJ, iv 6539 ,wr Craftsman Staff The Craftsmanf' Macombeids 1947 Year Book. was printed in the Print Shop under the expert guidance of Instructor Malcolm Goodrich. typographical advisor. and the ever patient Editor-in-Chief, Ned Barnes. Ed Kramer did a master-job of laying out the photo engravings made from the artistic pictures taken by Cameraman Hubert Herzberg, who used the school's Speed Graphic. Val Kline helped keep the Art Work moving on schedule, while James Chilcote managed the sales and directed the many jobs of shooting trouble. The Staff is ever grateful to Advisors Ann Schwertzler, E. W. Spring. G. C. Clements, J. J. Damas. Isla Van Vranken, and George Hammersmith for their splendid co-operation in making the Craftsman a reality by using the Yearbook production as a teaching medium. F . X me ll .un Y 4 Y Page eighty Hi-Crier Staff With spirits high the school newspaper, The Hi-Crier, edited and printed by the students, experienced an eventful year. In spite of staff members' going on co-op and into the Armed Forces, the 1946-47 Staff has been publishing a paper bi-weekly. The first Hi-Crier came off the Goodrich press the third week of school which is a record in Macomber journalistic history. At the 'end of the first semester Editor- in Chief Charles Hoisington departed for the U.S. Marines, as capable Rolland Hower. assistant editor, took over and continued the work of his expert predecessor. Editor Rolland Hower has displayed remarkable organization ability and has succeeded in getting many boys from many shops to cooperate for the best interests of 1000 Macomber boosters. . . The Hi-Crier still goes to our Servicemen through the teamwork of Mrs. Isla Van Vrank.en's Commercial Office Practicers, and Librarian James J. Damas. Letters from the four corners of the world telling of the enjoyment which the Hi-Crier has brought them are reasons enough for making Staff members en- thusiastic. This tie with home and the Ole School is a most worthwhile one. The efforts of Principal Dannenfelser in obtaining a Speed Graphic camera made Hi-Crier headlines and highlights this year. When all is said and done, the teamwork, which developed as progress was made, brought a lasting joy and service. Page eighty- one Hi-Crier of '47 l ,- Zuk X Hi-Crier of '47 P ' N f Ev a -1.

Aware of their duty the members as- sisted with the distribution of Meri Mac Carnival tickets, and, the Basketball Ban- quet. Efforts to secure a traffic light, and, to provide shrubbery for Macomber were expended with hopeful results. Macomber's Council officers participated in the or- ganization of an Area Student Council, Officers for this school year included: Herman DeB1'osse, President Bob Schultz, Vice-President Dick Chilcote. Secretary, Treasurer Mr. David Krost and Mr. Ben Warrick were advisors.

Mrs. Kin- ker. this year, has enlarged the corps of officers by adding two music librarians and two uniformlibrarians whose jobs are to see that all music and uniforms are filled away properly before and and every performance. The Band gave its first public performance in December for Mr, Damas' quiz. Take It Or Don't . After serious practices a second performance, a concert, was given on April fifteenth, for Macomber school students. This concert was repeated for Whitney. Then the Band played for the Memorial Day parade. The first semester the Band received six new drum stands, a trombone, two clarinets, a trumpet. a and a glockspiel which were played in the concerts. These instruments were played by new corners which helped increase the size of our band. The first semester the band rehearsals were split up so that the newcomers could practice for the regular band rehearsals. The beginning of the second semester the regular band rehearsals were continued. The officers this year were Sam Green, Presidentg Bert Kohler, Vice president: Jimmy McGee, Secretary and Treasureg J irn Watts and Jim Oates. Mulsic Librariansg James Horner and Erin Modrall, Uniform Librarians. Page eighty-five The Hi-Y Club The Macomber Hi-Y holds a prominent place in the social life of Macomber. Under the able guidance of Herman DeBrosse. President. the Hi-Y Club of 1946-47 has put to practice their motto which is Create Maintain, andlilxtend through-out the school and community a high standard of Christian Character. The Macomber Hi-Y sent Herman DeBrosse and Robert Berndt as its representatives to the annual State Hi-Y Congress in Columbus. Weiner roasts, hay rides, a Hi-Y dance. and the traditional Skate were enjoyed by all our members. With the purpose of spreading and promoting Christian endeavor through- out the community, the Hi-y presented the Christmas and Easter services in our school. The Hi-y club members enjoy participation in athletics. Our Macomber Basketball Club won the title of City Hi-Y Championship Team, which also beat the schoo1's 1946 Engineers' Club. 35-30, for the school inter club title. The loss cost the Engineers a party. Members of the victorious Hi-Y team are: John Helyer, Ned Barnes, Frank Nowak, Robert Swaskee, Jack Stimpfle. Bill Grandy, John Brierley, James Denner and Dohald Gehuhg. Other sport activities were our table tennis .tournament and visits to Camp Storer. We, of the Macomber Hi-Y, wish to thank Doc Miller for helping us during the year. His pictures of the World Series and T. U. football games, and especially. his talks were an important factor in the club's success. i, 1' X -Hewitt l gggg A ' Page enghly lx!

A new constitution which was adopted last year, was put into effect in September. The first- event of the year was a successful roast. Two skates were held during the year, and both proved to be successful. With war restrictions off, we Visited the Ford Plant in Detroit, and, the Safety Building. The trip through the Safety Building revealed to the Engineers that science plays an important part in the police and fire departments' work. ' Several interesting Engineering movies were shown during the year, among which were: 'Oddities of Ohio , Building of the Oakland Bay Bridge , 1946 World Seriesu, and Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow. The Engineers' Carnival concession, The Wonders of Science , was enjoyed by throngs of people. The science display in the Library also created much interest. A Christmas Partyg Valentine Party, Invitation Party, and a party for the Hi-Y were some of the highlights of the social activities of the year. The Hi-Y defeated the Engineers in the Annual Championship Basketball game. The club has had a very interesting and profitable year. Many thanks to our officers and committees for their efforts, and to our advisor, Mr. Schweinhagen. for his leadership. Plans for a bigger year in 1947-48 are under way. The new constitution will make the club more efficient and profitable to its members and the school. Page eighty-eight Officers Basketball Team Page ei9h!y'ni Projection Club ln 1945, the Macomber Projection Club was organized, with Henry Navarro as its first president, and, immediately took over the job of furnishing projection ser- vices for visual education at Macomber. Its thirty-four members furnished Macom- bers' most successful season in educational films, to date. An emblem was designed by club members and drawn by James Detloff, but the war conditions made it im- possible to obtain them for the first year. Gold certificates for outstanding services were awarded to Henry Navarro and Isaaih Halsey. The 1946 membership stands at thirty nine, twenty applications for member- ship being rejected for failure to attain a B or better scholastic standard. Officers are Bob Schultz, presidentg Eugene Bowland, vice-presidentg Edmund Kramer, sec- retaryg and Jack Cummerow, treasurer. Emblems were obtained and presented to thirteen members earning sufficient operational points. Gold certificates were awarded to Robert Schultz and James Martzke. Again the goal of ever improving was maintained by a still larger and better visual education program. New equipment and room improvements increased effi- ciency. On February 20th, Macomber served host to all the visual education depart- ment directors and student operators of the cityg Mr. Harry Lamb, Radio and Audio Visual Education Director of Toledo, awarded our emblems and service award certi- ficates at that time. A very entertaining feature movie high-lighted the evening's activities.

At the end of the season Woodward was in first. Cen- tral in second, and Macomber in third. Not bad. eh? In the above picture, left to right, are: Standing Mgr. Marvin Burley,Denny Miller.

The games they lost were close ones. One to Woodward by four points, and one to Waite by the same margin. The worst licking came from the hands of Norwalk by an eight point difference. Big guns for the seson were Paul King. with 159 points, and Nick Romaho who had 150 points. Three other boys who can be patted on the back for finework done this season are Woody fCockyD Gearheart, who was always on the back- board and stealing the ball from the opposition. Dick Dersch and Kenhy Burbacker are another pair who were always getting in the victim's hair with their all around ability of handling. passing, stealing. and shooting. These two boys were runnersup in the scoring with 78 and 77 points respectively. Let's all hope these lightweights do just as well on the Varsity squad next year. . f' px. 3.x Y Y Y X lllzftl '- N LLL lf, ' Page ninety-eight Baseball Macomber's Baseball team. although finishing in second place in the City Lea- gue went on to annex District and Regional laurels.
