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.

MR. 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.
