Foreword “The spirit dwells in all men, and yet not all men are aware of it” is an old Hindu saying of which one is reminded when he considers the con¬ struction of this school Yearbook whose theme is VISION.

We think of a person who has foresight, the ability to project himself forward into the days to come and see what he is going to accomplish in a given period of time. If he cannot visualize what he wants he can never accomplish it. The second step is to have the ability, capacity, and power to plan what you are going to do; how you are going to develop the ideas which you have; how you are going to organize things to bring about the ful¬ fillment of your hopes. The third phase of Vision is action: the ability to concentrate on a job and follow out the plan and carry it through to completion. It is that spiritual quality in mankind of never giving up until success has been attained that really counts. It means belief and faith in yourself, your ideas, and your plans. —“Where there is no vision, the people perish.

The Corporation was established in June of this year when the Class of 1948 of Macomber Vocational High School met for the 25th Annual Reunion. The entire class was so enthusiastic over the idea presented by Uni¬ ted States President Bruce Parks that it dr opped all other activities to lend its sup¬ port to the Corporation. The new Interplane, the sensati on of the age, was the outstanding produc¬ tion of the Corporation. It is a rocket vehic le which can run on the highway, in the water, under the water, fly in the air, and even go thru the stratosphere. The In¬ terplane, a masterpiece of design, was the product of the imagination of James Pribe, Bert Kohler, and Charles Houck, Au to Mechanics; Robert Weiler, Lyle Alt- house, and Gene Barron, Aeronautics; Jerry Trabbic, Jim Davis, and Dave Rybka, Commercial Art; George Burtch, Herbert Sautter, and Sam Dickey, of Mechanical Drafting Class. The working models were executed by the Pattern Shop of 1948, su¬ pervised by Richard Urbanowski, and Joe Schardt. The Machine Shop of 1948 under the direction of Kenny Brubaker, Donald Buck, and Denny Miller, machined all the working parts of the Interplane. Boon to many families was the Inter - Home, another product of the Inter¬ planetary Corporation. Designed by Emery Scsavnicki, Richard Krause, and Ken McCoy, 1948 Architects, and executed with the cooperation of Mr. Sam Harrison, Bill Biel, and Chuck Peterson, Electricians; Leonard Herwat, Richard Lewandowski, and Victor Matuszewski, Cabinet Making; Harold Bassler, Eddie Joyner, and Jack Lea- sure, Refrigeration; Merle Walker, Wayne Kohne, and Carl Schwamm of Sheet Metal; Richard Schneider, and Norbert Thiel, Welding. The Inter - Home is adapt¬ able to all climates and regions. It can be assembled within an hour, and and it is so compact that it can be placed in the trunk of your Interplane. In fact, it can be assem¬ bled and dissembled from a button in the Interplane, by a mechanism similar to the obsolete electric eye of 1948. You now can take your house with you anywhere in the country, and not worry about hotels, motel s, or motor - courts! Another product of the Corpora tion is the Telepathic Printer, invented by Don Mooney, Dick Sund, and Ken Grandy, inventive geniuses of the 1948 Print Shop Class. It is a mechanism which is equipped with a number of different types and can print in any desired type by telepathic impression. The operator merely puts on the Telepathic Headgear, sets the desired type on the Printer, and reads the copy in¬ to a small microphone. Immediately the machine sets up, justifies the lines and prints from one to a thousand copies a minute. The office of the Interplanetary Corporation is in the Vision Building on Universe Plaza in Downtown Toledo. The Officers of the Corporation are Richard Holtfreter, President; Don Hilding, Vice President, and Ronald Rymers, Secretary- Treasurer all of the Office Practice Class of 1948. The Interplanetary is the Corpo ration of the year. 38 J uniors . .• 4 . • t 3n iW moriam William Sautter Bill Sautter, of Instructor Harold Elwing’s Junior Mechanical Draft¬ ing Class, was an interested “above - average” student, whose attitude toward his work was very commendable. The boys of his shop and his many other Macomber friends have scores of pleasant memories of their friend, Bill. He was always kind and considerate in his dealings with others. Bill, . at an early age, had worked out a beautiful pattern for living. We, who were privileged to know him, realize that he was ready when the Great Teacher ’ called.

Junior Glass Notes The members of the Class of ’49 entered the Mac Halls back in 1946, deter¬ mined to master the trades of their choice and to learn that “Skill Pays.” The Junior Class held a few me etings during the 1947-48 school year to discuss the Yearbook for 1949. Motifs were discussed and the “go ahead” sign was giv en to Instructor E. W. Spring and his Art Department. Ideas for the ’49 Craftsman were discussed and the Commercial Artists were commissioned to develope three or four sketches. Final decisions were made in June of 1948. Plans are underway to elect Cla ss Officers and to carry on activities which will prepare the Juniors with the “knowhow” in their Senior year. The kids are getting smarter all the while. Good thinking on school affairs was done by William Carpenter, Thomas Baronski, Rollie Engler, Harold Adoline, Donald McCluskey, Richard Adamowicz, James Bohnsack, Steve Mazurek, and Charles Wilkins. Donald Wollenbecker and Robert Wollenschlager performed valuable ser¬ vices for the Craftsman Staff. JuniorsRichard Dukes and Richard Senecal carried on as editor and shop editor of The Hi-Crier respectively. Robert Smith served as assistant photographer along with Bill Osberger. Lee Whaley and Mike Geddis k ept the presses in the Print Shop humming with excellent impressions. Charles Estes, Thomas Kandis and Kenneth Kramer won reputations as perfect gentlemen in their shops and relat ed classes. Don Spoerl learned to get along with the Graphic Arts in related classes. Three Musketeers Arnold Szakovits, Bill Simko, and Louis Kovacs settled down in Sheet Metal. Richard Tittle and Norman Lay caught fire and gave promises to Coaches Ardner and Jeffery that the sports will be looking up when the Juniors become Seniors. The Juniors ended their year hi ghly recommending the organization of Junior classes as soon as school opens in fa 11. Their thoughts were well taken and the good which they reflected will shine on for the classes to come.

Strike Up The Band The Mac Band, under the baton of Mrs. Robert H. Kinker. is fast becoming one of the outstanding activities of the school. Through the splendid cooperation of Principal Dannen. felser, the Macomber Band has been given a new deal. Definite practices are scheduled and the musicians have disciplined themselves in the matter of regular attendance. The aid of the teachers has been gratifying, and all is becom¬ ing most harmonious. Performances at assemblies, which have added to the Mac Spirit, give promise of a top notch band very shortly. At all of the school functions the slogan will soon be: “Strike up the band, and let Macomber swing along.” Officers this year are: Dick Baumhower, president; Kenneth Campbell, vice-president; Charles Estes, secretary-treasurer; Ronald Cole, Lawrence Driver, music librarians; and James Horner and Ron Cole, uniform librarians. 82 Mac Band - ' Music Is The [Jniversal Language ' The Hi-Crier Staff - ' ' Proclaims Student Endeavor ’ Back Row — M.

Let ' s Go To Press The Hi-Crier, edited and printed by the students, was published by one of the best or¬ ganized staffs. The busy staff even found time for two eventful dances during the year. As usual, the first Hi-Crier edition was delivered the third week of school to maintain an enviable record. Editor-in-Chief Richard Dukes proved his ability to get the staff mem¬ bers to work as a well co-ordinated team. The staff made great progress in training Juniors to fill the shoes of those graduating.

Government In Action Tne 1947-48 Student Council is one of the best ever to function in Macomber High School. Under the capable leadership of President George Polcyn, ably assisted by Vice Presi¬ dent Bill Parton, Secretary Bob Parker, and Sergeant-at-Arms Denny Miller, activities for the year got off to a fast start. No later than Friday, November 14, 1947, Principal Dannenfelser had placed the respon¬ sibility for the student conduct at all assemblies on willing Student Council shoulders. This re¬ sponsibility of governing behavior in assemblies was generously accepted and efficiently executed. Student Council committees, which have played an important role in the overall pic¬ ture for the year, were; Assembly Committee, Chairman Jack Zohn; Constitution Committee, Chairman George Polcyn; Welfare Committee, Chairman Don Lynn; Athletic Committee, Chairman Nick Romano. Activities for the year were many and varied, including; the sale of basketball season 85 Hi-Y Club - ' Christian Living ' ’ Front Row — Jan Horton, Robert Ayers Ira Johnson, Jack Goodwill, Ralph Cousino, Bob Beard, Harvey Sterling, Second Row— Kenneth M.

YMCA The Hi-Y started 1947 with many bright hopes. The executives of the year were; Don Lynn, president; Ray Gasiniak, vice-president; Don Mooney, secretary; and Jan Horton, treasurer. The first program of the agendum of the Hi_Y which has been known as the “Hi-Macs” was a trip to Camp Storer, from where many of the boys came back with an accum¬ ulation of names, addresses, and telephone numbers. Jock Goodwill and Bob Newell had many enjoyable experiences at camp and for weeks after. Next on the “Hi-Macs” activity program was a roast, which was held at Side-Cut Park. Ralph Cousino supplied the records for the roast. The roast was followed by a hay ride which took place at Whiteford Stables Whiteford, Michigan, Bob Cook, Carl Schwamm and other members enjoyed this fall frolic. The Hi-Y Skate was held at the Coliseum Roller Rink, on December 8. 1947. 86 Hi-Y Officers and Basketball Team Bob Newell, sergeant-at-arms; Jan Horton, treasurer; Don Lynn, president; Ray Gaseniak, vice-president; Don Mooney, secretary; Clarence Reihing. sergeant-at-arms.

Builders Immediately upon the opening of the school year, officers were elected and commit¬ tees chosen to plan the activities for the year. The first event was a roast which was a huge success. After enjoying the wide open spaces, the club began planning affairs of a more serious nature. The science displays in the li¬ brary were set up for the benefit of the students of Macomber. Numerous plant trips were ar¬ ranged. Among them were trips through the Page Dairy, Libbey Glass, Ford Motor Co., Safety Building, and the Bell Telephone Co. Many technical movies were shown to the members of the club. Many Engineers worked out scientific experiments for the Science Show which was held in May. Among these various experiments were such ones as boiling water with ice and boiling water in a paper cup. Two very successful skates were held during the year. Our basketball team had a very successful season. Engineers’ sweaters became available again. An attractive Engineers’ pvin was designed. Many new members were added to the club, and the new constitution, which was drawn up last year, put into effect. --—__ ZlZZlZZIZi: 88 Engineers’ Officers and Basketball Te am Jim Pribe ' Secretary; Bob Pietkowski, President; Don Morris, Vice-President; Ted Piel, Treas¬ urer; Darrell Williams, Sergeant-at-Arms.

Silver Sheets Macomber’s Projection Club reached a new membership high for 1947 with 11 Seniors 18 Juniors, and 10 Sophomores enrolled. Officers elected were James Martzke, president; Richard Nowak, vice-president; James Leady, secretary; and Charles Leek, treasurer. The members organized a basketball team to challenge the Hi-Y, Engineers, and any other Macomber clubs for the school championship. Players include Richard Nowak. Machinist; Bruce Parks and Lowell Rogers, Electricians; Max Miller, Forrest Fant, and Richard Nowak, Drafters; the Stambaugh twins. Von and Don; and Ted Clevenz. Sophomore recruits on the team were Michael McGowan, Louis Vasko, Charles Myers, and Raymond Zuelke. Seniors out for basketball were James Martzke and Clarence Reihing. With good scholarship stressed as a requirement for membership, Junior and Senior operators received 41 A’s, 53 B’s, 39 C’s; 6 D’s; and only 2 F’s the first quarter. Four Seniors one Junior were suspended for failure to maintain a C or better average and allowed one quar ' 90 Telescope Club - ' ' New Vision ' Back Row — Harold Elwing, Adviser; Louis Peterman, Sam Harrison, Adviser; Front Row— Jan Horton, Milan Bokan, Glenn Brown. With The Stars One of the newly organized clubs is the Amateur Telescope Makers’ Club. It was or¬ ganized by Instructor Sam Harrison. The purpose of the club is not to study astronomy, but to build reflecting type telescopes. The majority of the time in building a telescope is spent on the grinding and polishing of the mirror .Two six inch glass discs are used in this process. The polishing surface must be kept cliean for one imperfection will spoil the disc. When ground, polished, and figured; the disc is turned into a mirror by aluminizing, or sil¬ vering the parabolic surface. 91 Stamp Club - ‘ a woMy Hobby Front Row — Ken McCartney.

Sergeant-at-Arms Philately After several informal meetings the Stamp Club was organized officially on October 16, 1947. A constitution was adopted, and officers were elected. The club began with 12 charter members and was organized by adviser, Mr. E. A. Schweinhagen. All faculty members are honorary members of the club. After considerable deliberation the club chose the name “Macomber Philatelic Society.” The purpose of the club is to acquaint students with the art of collecting stamps, and, to help the members collect quality stamps at a minimum cost. Quantity and auction buying has helped the members to improve their stamp collection at exceptionally low prices. First day cover service has been provided for the members. The club undertook a stamp map as a project for the year. The map is 20 inches by 30 inches and is printed in four colors.

Sing A Song The first successful attempt to have a Glee Club here took place this year. The primary purpose of the Glee Club was to sing and to have fun in doing so. The second purpose was to offer some sort of entertainment to the student body at various times during the year. The Glee Club met three times a week after school. It was decided that each member purchase his own music for rehearsals. Many successful performances were given by the Glee Club this year. Starting with a bang at a student assembly near Thanksgiving, the singers went on to share in the Christmas festivities by singing carols both at ’the Hi-Y Christmas Assembly, and at the Christ¬ mas Party dinners. Also in the plans for the year was the Minstrel Show, sponsored by the Sen¬ ior Class. Officers of the Glee Club are: Richard Washeck, president, Donald Mooney, vice- president; and secretary-treasurer, Hubert Birkenkamp. The adviser is Mr. James J.

Up We Go A new club was formed under the supervison of Instructor W. T. Fulton. To date the the club membership has been limited to Mr. Iron’s and Mr. Fulton’s Aero Shops. Later, it is hoped, there will room for any student in Macomber to join. The present membership is 21, with Joe Scanes as president; Forrest Weist, vice-president; and Leo Fishbach, secretary treasurer. Many ideas were suggested for activities, however, model flying is tops in the summer. During the winter the club members learn to operate many types and makes of model engines as well as to control live models, mix fuel, wire engines, and to do model construction. Model speed boats, race cars, gliders, and jets also share in the discussion. The club members hold many high standards including no smoking, no profanity, no talking unless addressed and one point for each meeting attended. Although the majority of the club’s time is spent on models, real air-craft and engines are not over-looked. 94 Craftsman Pics - “A Yearbook For Every Ylac Back Row— Bill Osberger.

The school’s Speed Graphic Camera was put to excellent use. James Davis and David Rybka followed a fast moving art schedule and produced work which pleased Art Adviser Ernest W. Spring. Jack Zohn organized a business-like sales cam¬ paign while Ron Rooker ably handled the pictu’e taking schedule. The staff is appreciative of the splendid co-operation kindly given by Advisers Ann Schwertzler, Alvin Preis, E. W. Spring, Malcolm Goodrich, J. J. Damas, G. C. Clements, Robert Romberger, and Z. F.

Jerry Powers and Bob Michalak were the only holdovers from the team that won the district and regional championship the preceeding year. Dick Bak, who pitched and played the outfield, was voted the most valuable player. Bak was the leading hitter on the team. Robert Ivan, who played short-stop was elected honorary captain. Other members of the squad were Adolph Nowicki, Wootson Gearheart, Eddie Sztukowski, Eugene Dymarkowski, Dick Holt- freter. Bob Sieler, Dick Dersch. Bob Kubicz; Frank Odorzynski. Dick Eggert, and Pierce Holtfreter. Holdovers for the 1948 team are: Powers, Kubicz, Sieler, Bak, Gearheart; Dymarkowski and Pierce Holtfreter. Other candidates who have a good chance to make the squad, are: Nor¬ man Kubicz, Joe Aubry, Bob Czubachowski, Jim Morgan, Blackie Malok, Bud Ward, Ernest Spisz, Dick Saam, Dick Grandy, Jim O’Neil; Louie Kwader, and Chet Mioduszewski. The Macomber Nine of 1948 should be better than the 1947 team since there are seven players with Varsity experience as a nucleus for the team. Also, many of the players have 108 Tennis standing— Jack Leasure. Kenneth Grandy, Seated— Robert Ninke. Don Ziemke, Coach; Glenn Brown.

The Craftsmen had little trouble in wins over Scott, who, in the first match, played Macomber to a tie. The second meeting was also a tie which was decided by playing an extra set. Fremont and DeVilbiss both trounced the Craftsmen.

Last year the Craftsmen placed third in both City League and District Tournament play. This year, with Sophomore help, the prospects appear brighter for a successful season.
