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

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

CASS 08.25 The present Junior class entered high school three years ago with almost one hundred students. It was the largest class that had ever come into the Madera Union High School and no doubt, the hest. After we had been given sufficient time to settle down and become used to our new quarters, we were nobly entertained by our upper classmen with an elaborate Freshmen Reception. Every Freshman came that night with shaky knees. fearing some pretty rough treat- ment. However, we all managed to get out alive, although we had to go through an operation of some kind which was by no means a healthy ceremony. This step seemed to take away some of our greenness (which we were convicted of having). We managed to live through the rest of the year under the harsh treatment of those who were so much above us and could hardly realize when we were honored with the name “Sophies.”’ Although we felt that we had taken a big step from “Freshies” to “Sophies” there still seemed to be many who were far above us. We kept our place well in our second year and surprised them all when we took the inter-class track championship. We showed them that we were well able to take up the duties of the Juniors when our time came. Our Junior year in high school has so far been one of great success. We have shown this by the many things which we have accomplished and the biggest of these is the Junior play which was given February Sth, by the class. “Daddy Long Legs” was a success from every stand- point, especially from that of the finances, since almost $200 was cleared. When the Seniors held their annual “Sneak Day” we handled their re- mains in a most original and noble manner. The Junior picnic, held Saturday, March 22nd, was a day of fun and lots of it. No doubt there is a fine Senior class this year, but the present Junior class can ably take up the work which they will leave for us when their high school days are over. eee DONO MEY EGINGy 225 ae
