SENIOR B The Senior B class although the smallest since its entrance into this school, has by no means had an uneventful career. From the moment the Madera Union High School was honored with its presence until the end of this term of ’24 its place has been marked in our school history, In 1921 this class entered with an attendance of 21. At this time it is 24, showing what little change there has been, During these years practically all the same members who started with us have remained. However, a few have stepped ahead while others from lower classes have joined us. In social activities there has always been a disadvantage in such a small number, but this obstacle was not strong enough to stop our little class, for our parties made up in fun what they lacked in numbers. No large class has ever shown more school spirit than the present Senior B class. Not only have we always been 100 per cent in the numerous campaigns, but many times have been first to go “Over the Top,” especially in the campaign which determined the publication of this Annual. 20

JUNIOR B When we first entered Madera High School we were just as green as any Ireshmen who had gone before us. After a long wait the Sophomores finally decided to give us a party to which most all attended. In the Sophomore year we contributed a few athletes to the different branches of track and other sports in which they showed they were a credit to their class. Our class roll kept running up and down, as some of our members left, others came to take their places in the Madera Hi. This year we were active in parties and also sports and plays. Some of us went with the Junior A’s and Senior B’s to old Fort Millerton near Friant. Among the other social doings of this class some of our members were in the Minstrel Show given by the Hi-Y, and others were in the operetta “Once In A Blue Moon.” In the remaining time we have to go to Madera Hi, we are going to make the Junior B class one of the best classes in Madera I ligh School. —HARVEY LONG “25 bo
