! i !■ [ fF ' . =J . i OiUdLef ' who came to Toledo during the period that Macomber Vo¬ cational High School was being constructed, has given unselfishly of his vasf wealth of adminisfrafive knowledge and skill to the many problems of an expanded program of vocational education. Through his position as head of the Toledo Schools and his interest in vocational edu¬ cation, Mr. Bowsher has contributed greatly to making our school among the best known of vocational high schools in America. During the recent year, he has shown further interest in our school and its activities by including an athletic field among fhe projects to be undertaken by the Board of Educafion in its five year plan, which was ' made possible by fhe passage of fhe new tax levy for making physical improvemenfs to the Toledo school system. Also among the projects undertaken by the Board of Education in the past year, is a study to be made of the traffic problems of Macomber students trying to cross the corner of Monroe and Eifteenfh Streets, where a traffic light is badly needed. We, of Macom¬ ber, feel certain that if the study proves to the satisfaction of the Board of Education that a traffic lighf is needed, Mr. Bowsher will fake his usual stand in the interest of Macopiber, and do all wifhin his power to satisfy the needs of our school. 7 A

It might be said of Mr. Dannenfelser, our principal, that he is a true pioneer in the field of vocational education, since he organized and was the first principal of the old Toledo Vocational School located on the site of the new main library. It is mainly through his vision and experience that this school has developed into a full fledged Vocational high school, not to be equaled anywhere in the United States. His efforts climaxed in one sense with the building of the new school, which became known as Macomber Vocational High School, but began in another. The constant aim of Mr. Dannenfelser has been to organize a program of vocational education which offers an opportunity for the boys of Toledo to learn a skilled vocation which will provide earning power, achieve social adjustment and lastly to provide the youth of Toledo with a program of education so complete as to meet the require¬ ments for a first grade high school diploma, fulfilling the prerequisites for college entrance, and at the same time to provide them with the essential knowledge to find their places in the world of industry. The seniors are sincerely grateful to Mr. Dannenfelser for his interest in them and for his understanding counsel in help¬ ing them overcome the obstacles that stand in their path through life.
