ACTING PRINCIPAL Mr. Harry J. Baumker These are the morning announce- ments . . . . Considering the Towers of old, and the Towers of today, we have symbols of two distinct eras. The Towers of old were land- marks of strength and protection. They were usually a part of the fortification or wall, be- neath them lived the kings, knights, lords, and rulers of old. The Towers provided means of observing the approach of an enemy, they directed travelers so they would not get lost. Today we wish to think of Towers as achieve- ments which have been obtained through edu- cation, mechanical skill, scientific knowledge, and mathematical ability. Through these media we have developed atomic energy, radio, tele- vision, electrical energy, modern transportation, and all the other modern miracles which make our twentieth century so outstanding. These modern advances are the Towers of to- day, and, in every way, overshadow the Towers of old. We at Macomber like to think of our graduates over the past thirty-two years as builders of the Towers of today through the positions they have achieved in management, leadership they have realized in business and industry, and the distinction they have earned in their vocations or pro- fessions. We trust that the T957 graduates of Macomber will set their sights to a height that they will be builders of the Towers of today and tomorrow by achieving positions of leadership in their fields. W Do you think this would be the best way? and Macomber definitely will be represented.

I wish each of you a wonderful life as you use them in achieving success and happiness. To The Class of T957: During the last four years you have faced many problems. These problems involved learning complicated theories, mastering difficult techniques, and learning how to get along with other people. Allow me to congratulate each of you personally on the suc- cessful solutions you have made to these problems. lt is my earnest hope that you will solve the similar problems of adult life with equal skill. My very best wishes go with you as you undertake this endeavor. Z45Q5A55sw Your Towers of knowledge, character, skill, and personality should serve to give you a sense of proportion which will be useful throughout your lifetime. Attacking problems with energy and enthusiasm will, in a large measure, determine your success or failure in society. Aim your talents toward success. Remember, extra effort brings extra compensation. By your American heritage you are obligated to give service to your family, your community, your church, and your country. To give of your time, skill, and ability may require sacrifice, but your contribution will be more worthwhile if it is given in the proper spirit.
