5 Think Ink! Have you ever seen a Polish clock? The question is an- swered in room 701. The numbers are painted backwards and the hands spin the wrong way. Some may wonder why they didn't hear about this hard working class when they were stuck signing up for Marine Biology. Madigraphs used to be a school service organization, explains the in- structor, Mr. Nelson. We print up the pep ribbons, prom bids, football programs ... things like that. Before it was a class we'd stay and work until it was almost dark. The class isn't for just anybody. Then, who is it for? The goal of many Madigraph students is immediate employment after, or even during, high school. They are trained to have specific job oriented skills, not only when painting Polish clocks, but for printing T-shirts and hand-outsas well. It's insane, said John Chaney, a student who smiles although his hands and working smock are black with ink. There can be so many problems, so much work—but a lot of fun. 5 Rob Powers works diligently to finish his assignment. 6 Students like Scott Gerber work hard to learn the required Madigraph skills. 7 Mr. Garold Nelson kneels just in front of his class.

 Ready on the Set I f those who attended the senior play or spring musical were impressed by the acting ability of their fellow students, they were probably equally awed by the fine job done on the sets. The credit belongs entirely to Stage Craft. This school service organ- ization works with the Drama Department in producing a Mad- ison play. Out budget is small, explains Tom Heatherington, teacher, so in the past, as with the fall production, we have been sponsored by the senior class. Few students come to the class without previous experience in stage design. Mr. Heatherington finds he recruits heavily from the Jr. Highs. The atmosphere is relaxed among Stage Craft students, especially during the kick- ing back period between plays. So relaxed, offers one stu- dent, you could almost fall asleep. 1 Gail Ticsay applies some paint to a set. 2 Stage Craft: FRONT ROW.

Job Training Offered Thinking of going into the health field? This could be answered by enrolling in the Health Careers Class. The main function of this class is to explore different areas in the health field. Field trips, as well as outside speakers, help students to find their health career goal. With on-the-job observation for three weeks, (two days on each area of choice), students are encouraged to observe many different medical fields until they find one which interests them as a possibility for future employment. The Health Careers class is a semester of concentrated study. By means of this class, both guys and girls at Madison have an excellent opportunity to explore the field of health in a practical way. 178 Health Careers
