IRVING E. MACOMBER VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL MONROE AT 15TH STREET TOLEDO, OHIO ' poneovond The theme of the 1954 Craftsman is “COMPETENCY”. The staff has endeavored to depict through word and picture the four year process of developing the Macomber stu¬ dent into a competent craftsman and citizen ready to fulfill his economic and social obligations to his community. hug e. mmm vocatioiil high school TOLEDO.

BEN WARRICK The class of 1954 and the Craftsman Staff take pleasure in dedicating this year’s book to Mr. Ben Warrick, shop instructor in Collision Service. For many years an outstanding craftsman in his field, Mr. Warwick joined the Ma- comber faculty in 1938 with the opening of our new building. During the time he has taught here, he not only has done an outstanding job of training craftsman in his field, but, also, has been a leader in school activities He has served as adviser to the Student Council, and, for several years, has served on the school’s Athletic Board of Control, a position in which he now serves his school. Mr. Warrick takes great pride in his work of developing craftsmen in the highly skilled and satisfactorily compensated trade of Collision Service. And, like so many of Macomber’s skilled faculty, his greatest joy lies in his family, which includes five children and six grandchildren. smoteim or schools HOD BOflflD Of EDOCOTIOO In life a person’s success is measured to a great extent by how he comes through. If he is satisfied with a goal of anything less than a high degree of competency he is an individual who will not accomplish as much as he should. The boy who goes through school on a seventy per cent mark will likely become a seventy percenter in life. The good jobs are there for those who are competent. At the top rivalry is not too keen because the numbers are too few. It takes a lot of courage, ability, character and a lot of hard work to really achieve maximum success. There are no substitutes for these qualities. Superintendent of Schools L. to R., Thomas Bretherton, Edwin D. Dodd, president. Grant Murray, vice president. Stand¬ ing, Wayne Shawaker and Raymond D. Baldwin. 1 Our principal, Mr. F. M. Dannenfelser, has had many years of experience in education, business, and industry. He has been principal of Macomber since it was built in 1938. For thirteen years previous to this time, he was principal of the Vocational High School which was located on the site of the present Public Library. His university degrees includes the Bachelor and Master of Science. He has taught in Muskegon High and Hackley Manual Training School, Waite, and Libbey High Schools. He is always working for the improvement of Vocational education program in Toledo, spending much of his time on its promotion, organizations, and de¬ velopment. His success in providing the youth and adults in Toledo with one of the finest programs of Vocational Education in the United States is proved by the fact that every week requests for information about what Macomber is doing and how it is organized and operated come from educators from all over the country. Practically every week there are visitors from this country and many foreign lands visiting Macomber to see its Modern Program of Vocational Edu¬ cation in operation. Mr. Dannenfelser’s educational experience extends over a wide field, in¬ cluding Industrial Arts in High Schools, Full time Day Vocational Program, Half Time Vocational Cooperative Plan, Apprentice Training, Night Schools, Reha¬ bilitation, Veteran, and War Production Training, Teacher, and Foreman Train- nig, and Management Development. He has worked in business and industry for many years, coming to Toledo from the Bethlehem Steel Company in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He has always kept in close contact with industry and its needs by conducting conferences with management men, such as, Executive Department Heads, Foremen on Product¬ ion Problems, Practical Economics, Industrial Psychology, and Human Relations. Harry Baumker, left Junior-Senior Coordinator Arthur D. Diller Testing and Activities Alvin C. Bippus Freshmen Coordinator Congratulations to this class, the sixteenth to be graduated from Macomber Vocational High School . Macomber is today, as it was in September, 1938, when it opened its doors, America’s finest Vocational High School. This should be a thrill to the class of ’54 that their school is still recognized as the coun¬ try’s leading Vocational High School. If you, as a graduate, have profited from the educational and in¬ structional facilities of this fine school, its purpose will have been accomp¬ lished. In the years to come, we trust you will always have a warm feeling for Macomber and that you will take an active part in seeing that its edu¬ cational program is maintained and rated as America’s finest. It is a pleasure to be a part of a fine school such as Macomber Vocational High School. To you the Class of 1954 I extend congratula¬ tions for a job well done. Your training in a skilled vocation will give you something to sell as you go out into the world to take your place in Business and Industry. You, I am sure, are a much better individual for having attended such a fine school. I wish you every success in your chosen vocation. A. D. Diller To the Class of 1954: In the fall of 1950, you and 477 of your fellow students entered Macomb§r as freshmen in quest of a high school education and basic training in a skilled vocation. You have faced many problems and hurdles to success during the past four years. Allow me to congratulate each of you personally on the successful solutions you have made to these problems. Over a third of your freshman classmates fail¬ ed to solve these same problems and dropped out of school during the four year trial. Problems of learning involved theories, of mastering difficult techniques, and of getting along with other people—these you have successfully solved. It is my earnest hope that you will solve the similar problems of adult life with equal skill. A. C. Bippus 7 K I L 1 11 IT i i I | ■ ■■ r This year, Macomber is privileged to have a very fine office staff consist¬ ing of Marion Grote, Chief Clerk; Jesse Bruggemeier, Books and Lockers; Fran Robertson, Attendance and Records; Marj. Slatts, Treasurer; and last but not least, Claire E. Spragg, Mimeograph. Miss Grote has been in our office for ? years (she won’t tell) and is still do¬ ing a good job of keeping everybody happy. Miss Bruggemeier has been here at Macomber for 4 years and is still trying to figure out the combinations of the locks that have been turned in to her. Miss Robertson, an employee of 6 years is trying to distinguish the voices of Mr. Baumker and Mr. Bippus over her little intercom box. And then there is Mrs. Slatts, who has just finished her first year of work¬ ing in our office. I’m sure that she has enjoyed making out all the receipts for the Hi-Crier and Craftsman. Miss Spragg is still recuperating from the strenuous job of making all those copies of our exams that we took dur¬ ing the year. In all, however, these women are the friends of the students in their work of helping to keep our school running smoothly. No job is too great for them. They gladly assist the students in any way they can. i Walter Ardner Orientation Carl Baer Refrigeration Russell Bear Applied Science Pierre Boes Mathematics Rolland Boldt Orientation Chase Clements Social Studies Frank Drake Machine Shop Fred Duhaime Physical Education Malcolm Goodrich Printing Samuel Harrison Architectural Drafting William Hawk Applied Mathematics Lloyd Hayes Machine Shop Frederick Hiss Applied Mathematics 10 1 Rudolph Breed Merle Brown Charles Clark English Mathematics Science and Mathematics Louis Eck Pattern Making Harold Elwing Mechanical Drafting Eugene Evans Band and Chorus Louis Galambos Radio and Communications Robert Geiger Orientation and Mathematics Mary Houser English Stanley Irons Aeronautics Charles Jeffery Physical Education 11 Earl Kaiser Mathematics Stephen Kish Veronica Kocinski D.

I was glad to return to Toledo and, as I started up to my hotel room, I wondered what all of my old classmates were doing for a living now. As I opened the door to my room a huge Tele¬ viewer at the far end of the room automatically flicked on. I tipped the bell-hop, who was, I dis¬ covered after a second glance, to be none other than Bob Sobb. He looked well except for a slight graying at the temples. When I looked over at the televiewer, I saw the genial face of “Mitch” Whitmarsh. His show, The T.V. Magazine of the Air, had just begun. As I continued to watch the various pages, I learned several thing about the members of our graduating class. Sports Page: “Goose” Tatum resigned his position to the up-and- coming Gene Brown. Dave Popiela was the crooner-coach of the Los Angeles Hams Pro. football team. Russ Osborn and John¬ ny Hall are his eager assistants. Wealthy playboys, Don Altaffer, and ex-polo star Wes Bundy, took over the Toledo Socks, of which Billy Goldstein is the fiery manager. Dick Braciak and Bob “Punch” Nowak helped to make football a cleaner sport by instituting the new ruling of a shower and a clean uniform after each quarter of play. Dave Keister just won the Davis Saucer—Hugh Lash took the cup. Pat Romano owns his own Bowling center with Norm “Butch” Streichert, as pinboy- in-chief. Fashion Page: The newly opened men’s clothing store on North Water St. is owned by Tom Wolfe, Sam Mihailoff, and Sonny Lowe. Their motto is: “Kool Klothes for the Konservative Kat”, and they are currently featuring a Paris creation called the Monsieur “M” collar. Literary Page: Bob Baker, with the help of his two colleagues Tom Welter and Herb Mininger, is constructing a gigantic mobile for Rockefeller Center. Walt Metzger is making his living painting trains—only now he’s using a bigger brush. Jim Kubacki and Bill Rufty recently collaborated on a book called, “The Guard’s Place in Tall Basketball.” Entertainment Page: Joe Boyles is the star of a weekly television show called, “The Adventures of Mike Hammer”. Joe Zdunczyk has a band of his own, with Terry Quinn as his ace drummer man. Buddy Smith is astounding audiences throughout the country with his feats of daring on the tight rope. Jim Brooks and Johnny Spears are journeymen ushers at the Paramount. Jerry Snyder, million dollar comedian, is touring the country with his five hour one-man show called, “Snicker With Snyder”. Ira Williams, Bill Maiers, and Don Eicher are his celebrated writers. Bob Falter is the distinguished head-waiter at Scottie’s Fish and Chips. Feature Page: Dick Obst is the newly appointed president of Rio Grande College. The famous architects, Ed “Pete” Rozanski and Jerry Roth, are making a profitable living by designing spacious and modernistic coffins for the undertaker, Jack McLaughlin. Don “Flash” Haydu is the photographer- in-chief for the U.P. (Utopian Press). Two boys that are really going up in the world are Denny Lay- cock and Grant Miller—they’re elevator operators. Larry Szymanski and Tom Sieja recently made their first million in the field of electronics. The clever and resourceful criminal lawyer, Paul Wisner, has just won eighty-six consecutive cases. He recently saved his client, Jim Roth, from the charge of throwing pop bottles at an official, Les Haas, in the new Macomber Stadium. The camera then focused on Mike Myers, who gave a timely closing commercial for Jack Pol¬ ing’s Pizza Pie . His voice gradually blended into the quartet composed of Dave Achinger, John Arthur, Eddie Kaintz, and Bob McHaffie. They were singing the pizza theme song, “That’s Amore”. As the silken strains of Norm Sieja’s symphonic sax faded away, the program came to an end. —Bob Michalski 49 Duane Adamczak Printing Jessie Adams Mechanical Drafting James Armstrong Cabinet Making James Altman Architectural Drafting Ward Armstrong Machine Shop James Antieau Electrical Construction r w - ; m Jerry Axton Office Practice Dale Babcock Commercial Art Richard Badyna Commercial Art Ronald Bastion David Baur Pattern Making Cabinet Making v Bernard Beallas Auto Electricity John Beallas Auto Electricity Charles Beatty Radio and Communication Bill Belegrin Refrigeration Roger Bell Machine Shop Eugene Blair Radio and Communication Carl Bellner Mechanical Drafting 1 Arnold Boda Cabinet Making Charles Benore Printing 1 David Born Aut o Electricity George Bierly Commercial Art v Welding Richard Bozman Electrical Construction 50 Alfred Bryan Electrical Construction Donald Buchhop Radio and Communication Floyd Cary Richard Chandler Architectural Aeronautics Drafting Jack Conaway Electrical Construction Gene Craig Alison Crawford Office Practice Auto Mechanics Lee Braatz Auto Electricity Jim Caldwell Sheet Metal Richard Christen Commercial Art Edwin Cook Collision Service Joe Crawford Architectural Drafting Jerre Brandon Machine Shop John Campos Auto Mechanics Carl Clark Auto Mechanics Jim Cosgrove Auto Electricity James Cready Electrical Construction Gregory Brodbeck Cabinet Making Robert Carr Office Practice Hugh Collins Office Practice Tom Cornett Office Practice Dave Crites Auto Mechanics Edward Brudzinski Refrigeration Dan Craig Aeronautics 51 I I Homer Crosby Aeronautics C.

Adams Gene Craig James Jazmierczak Ronald Johnson Ronald Gundlach Tom Hoeflinger Donad Holmes Joe Murphy COMPETENCY COMPETENCY PURPOSEFUL THINKING: Competency is the direct result of purposeful thinking, plus hard work. It is not ours for the asking, but must be wooed and won through constant personal effort, tenacity of purpose in sticking to, and following through on each job until it is completed. COMPETENCY PERSISTENCE: Competency is based not only on natural ability and aptitude of the individual, but on the interest and initiative that is shown, and what is more important, his persistence and drive. The persis¬ tent person of average ability often succeeds where the more brilliant person fails for lack of sustained effort. INTELLECTUAL COMPETENCE: Intellectual competence is the ability to think, to analyze, and to reason logically,— to seek out and classify facts and apply them to the solu¬ tion of the work to be done. LEADERSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP: Creative leadership and intelligent fellowship is a competency which should be de¬ veloped. The world is crying for leadership at all levels. Some people possess or develop leadership qualities, but the majority must be intelligent followers of the right kind of leadership. Leadership is a group participating function, or group- related process, rather than the possession of personality traits or the authority a person assumes due to the position he holds. AIM NG HIGH: Unless you set your sight high and do better than you think you can, unless you live up to the expecta¬ tions of your parents, relatives and friends, you cannot be classified as a very competent person. ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL: Competent people must invest their time, their talents, and their treasure in Ameri¬ can enterprises to make and to give jobs to others. Provid¬ ing employment through investment in business and indus¬ try is one of the greatest social services anyone can render to his fellowmen. Wealth must be produced by those en¬ gaged in industrial and commercial pursuits who possess intelligence, ingenuity, initiative, interest, and integrity. THE FOUNDATION OF LIFE: You cannot be classified as a competent person unless you have the skill to do some type of work superlatively well. Work is the basic need of every American you h and adult, because the very foundation of life is work. SECURITY: The competent person does not have to think or worry about security in material possessions. One ' s own ability, and aptitude and skill is the best security. One cannot have much faith in his own competency if he has to be guaranteed security by an employer, the government, or a dictator. In fact, no one can guarantee you security. Belief in one’s own ability and the knowledge of how you take advantage of your opportunities has much to do with your attainment of competency. You cannot have both security and freedom. Security often results from your per- serverance in working out your own destiny. WORKING TOGETHER: An important skill in a truly demo¬ cratic society is the ability and willingness to work to¬ gether in the discussion and solution of our misundersand- ings, difficulties and problems. Skill in working together in the solution of probjems is of tremendous importance for everyone, and the best type of leadership in human relations. CITIZENSHIP: Freedom and liberty upon which our demo¬ cratic form of government depends can be preserved only by competent individuals who are able and willing to dis¬ charge the responsibilities of citizenship. We must be militant in selling our way of life as opposed to atheistic totalitarianism. If we don’t outsell communism, we will have to sell out Americanism. HUMILITY: To be a competent person, you must have humility which is an overwhelming sense of your own limitations. This trait enables us to sense how little we know. It develops in us an inquiring mental attitude, a spirit of constant research. SOCIAL COMPETENCY: True social competency is based upon your ability to use your social intelligence and skill in understanding and in dealing patiently with people, making allowances for their frailties and short-comings and on getting along well with them. EMOTIONAL STABILITY: To be a competent person, you must be emotionally stable most of the time, not emotion¬ ally upset and disturbed by every little thing that affects you adversely. “A man is measured by the size of the things which annoy him. ETHICAL AND MORAL STANDARDS: A code of ethical and moral standards to which you adhere and from which you do not deviate is of importance to the individual who wants to be considered competent. FAITH AND BELIEF: You cannot be a very competent or go very far in life without first becoming a believing, worshiping, practicing Christian, who has faith in God. Such a belief will help you make many things possible and, will give you greater balance and confidenece in your¬ self. COMPETENCY AND ACTION: No one can claim to be competent if he fails to act upon his ideas and carry them out and through to completion. Philosophy and policy grow out of decisions and actions. Putting into actual opera¬ tion your ideas, your thoughts and your decisions is what counts in life. F. M.

Editor Don Haydu took a great proportion of the pictures, specializing in athletic action shots. Don, in addition to his work with the camera also did the art work for the division pages as well as the major share of the layout work. Co-Ediior Bob Michalski wrote copy and checked on factual data for the book. Sales Managers Tom Cornett and Jerry Axton sold almost 75% of the students for a new record of 1060 suscriptions.

Winners of the city league title they also captured the district and Sectional Tournament before falling to Columbus South in the finals of the Regional. Their record of 20 wins and 4 losses was compiled against top flight competition from such parts of Ohio as Grand Rapids, Lima South, Fostoria, Holland, and Canton Timken. The only loss in city competition was the opening game against Woodward when the Bears rallied to win out 46 to 44. From there on, Macomber won their re¬ maining eleven games whipping such powerhouses as The “High Stepper” swept, dusted, and painted the back- boards ail season. DISTRICT CHAMPIONS . . . Central, DeVilbiss and Libbey, all of which were re¬ garded as top contenders for the championship. Against city competition Macomber rolled up 716 points while allowing 614 to be scored against them. The city’s leading scorer was all city Jimmy Kubacki who scored 207 points in 12 games for an average of 17 points per game with 330 points in 19 games. 6 ' 6 center Jerry Snyder was great on controlling the back- boards and tipping in rebounds. “Big Jerry” was also named on the all city team. Gene Marzec was the other guard and the combination of Marzec and Kubacki was referred to as the best in the city. These two boys were the one-two punch in the scoring department. Gene Brown was a great team player and was used mostly on defense and play making. Terry Knorr started late in “Ouch!” cries Terry Knorr in a scramble for the ball with Sandusky’s Shawalt (35) as Roth (34) and Drager (63) look on.

Bill Rufty missed a large part of the season recovering from an appendectomy but returned late in the season and Coach Ardner used Bill mostly on defense. The rest of the boys didn’t see much action but will make up next years varsity. Under such a fine coach and with such fine student support the 54 varsity, fourth ranking in the state, was one that will long be remembered at Macomber. Barney Francis, T.U.
