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. '

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.
