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
