ROBERT J. TEALL The June Class of 1925, respectfully dedicates this ‘‘lorty-Niner” issue of the “Purple and White,” to our Principal, Mr. Robert J. Teall, who has been our faithful friend and Ree during our four years in the Madera Union High School. Sees PURPEE z pe Sie = Beso iealiats A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL ‘he office lies at the center of the long main hall. That hall is an excellent sounding board and bits of the life of the school are projected into the principal’s sanctum. ‘The record of a student generation which has gone up and down the halls has impressed itself variously on the brain of the principal at his desk. The record is varied indeed. Ireshmen in green paint and in costumes that make them resemble nightmares about to happen have been paraded past; budding Jack Dempseys have “done their stuff” before the office door; girls have whispered to each other their inmost secrets, or the latest bits of school scandal. Students have filed past in fire drill formation; bits of heated arguments between Junior and Senior have penetrated the office; the squeals that issue when two bells are rung have smote upon the ears of the figure at the desk, and all the life of the school has passed in review. Out of it all the spirit of the school has stood forth clearly. There have been revealed: First, a spirit of gladness; laughs which rise easily to the lips; cor- dial laughs and merry ones. Second, a spirit of generosity—of give and take—of square dealing and good fellowship. Third, an interest in the school for its own sake; in its athletics, its debating, its various activities ; in its reputation and its well being; and a willingness to subordinate petty personal interests to the general wel- fare. All these impressions have come over a period of years through the 2 Ss aoe e . ) PY, office door to the principal’s desk. ‘They reveal a wholesome and a happy school. ‘The man at the desk is content. —_ V—— EDIM Ok Ss PACE An annual is a great undertaking for any school this size, yet the benefits derived from it are well worth the efforts put forth. ‘The amount of training and instructions received by the members of the staff alone merits the publication of an annual. By the time students have spent three years struggling to become seniors, their main am- bition is to publish a year book for the school in order to bring it in close relationship with other schools and students, which it undoubt- edly does. The class of 1925 has succeeded in publishing the second annual since that of the class of 1921. Much credit is due, howe ver, to last year’s senior class, which accomplished a great deal in putting the annual on its feet again. When the annual tickets were put on sale this year, it looked as if another class was to leave the gates of Madera High without achiev: ing the goal of every senior class, namely, publishing a “Purple and White.” But it was not long until the students awoke, and realized the importance of a school annual to an institution such as Madera High. Neither can too much credit go to the students without honor- able mention of the business men of the town, who showed their sup- port and loyalty to the school in a very appreciable manner. Thus it was through the efforts of the classes of 1924 and 1925, with the loyal support of the students of this school, and the business men of this town, that this copy of the “Purple and White” has been made possible. “PURPLE AND WHITE” STAFF Earl Coffee Miss S.

FAREWELL We, the class of ’25, must bid our school goodbye. ‘The four years spent in the Madera Union High School have been profitable and hap- py. Now, as we step out into the world, we will not find the shelter and protecting hands that we have experienced in this school. Al- though we will find new companions and teachers, none will be more dear to us than those to whom we must bid farewell. We leave our wish for success and happiness to those remaining and wish that we, too, might spend more happy hours in our school instead of hay- ing to say, “Farewell, Madera High.” eeky ee eee ane WHITE yin!

Will school never close? Yet time has simply flown since we first entered, hasn’t it?” said Kathleen languidly. “Well,” replied Eda. “Just think of the good times we Seniors have had. ‘That always makes time fly.” “Yep, that Freshmen Reception gave us a good-luck start, for we ve surely kept up the good-time record we set that night. bet 120 one could ever name all the good times we have had,” said Earl. “Well,” replied Max, “bet I could name quite a few Freshmen and Sophomore parties, Junior picnic—say I'll not forget that for a while.” “Who could? That was the time Katharyn got sentimental and sprained her ankle so the boys could carry her,” piped up Squint ‘Throckmorton, who, as he said this, dodged a flying missile from Kathryn's direction. “Here! Hold on! I’m trying to think, oh, yes, we had to give those Seniors a Reception last year, didn’t we?” ‘Well, I guess we did. And it was one of the best ever given. You ought to know that much!” said Eda who had been on one of the hard working committees. ‘All of you seem to have forgotten the best time of all,” spoke up Genevieve and then mentioned Skip day. “What about the hard time party we gave the Juniors the other day? That’s considered one of our high lights.” “Don’t you forget that we have had our share of work along with the fun. Ask Paul and a few others if selling tickets for the Annual was so easy.” This, from Audre. “Huh? ‘Talking about me?” asked Paul, who had just come up. “Yes, we were saying what an easy job you had selling ‘Purple and White’ tickets.” “Say, you forget our athletic honors. We were the Sophomore track champions. ‘This year we won the silver relay cup and—Oh, heck: there’s the bell. Well, anyway every one admits we've played a clean, square game clear through.” ; BEATRICE MASTROFINI, 725.

CARYN _DTEINHOUR 29, SENIOR B CLASS In February 1922, 28 frightened Freshmen entered Madera High. At the Freshmen Reception, October 28, they were formally initiated. ‘Phe little hand, now increased by four, started with their former ereenness a thing of the past. They showed themselves thorough and efficient, and participated extensiv ely in athletics. As Juniors they maintained an enviable record in literary and athletic events. During the first semester of their Senior year the class was prom- inent in the Student Body affairs and many of its members have been chosen to fill offices for the ensuing year. = JONIORT BS CUAS Seis LORY “Well, Well! Look who ts here,” I said as I met an alumni of: Ma- dera High. “How long have you been in Madera?” “T’m just here for the week end,” she answered. “I have heard nothing of Madera High. What class are you in?” “I’m in the Junior B class which is small in quantity, but large in quality.” “What is your class doing in school activities ?’ “Well, I can say that we have our hand in almost every thing that goes on, but our colors fly highest in the field of athletics.” “Who are the future members of the Olympic team?” “Logan Coffee, Derrald Case, Robert Scott and Jess Markle repre- sent us in track, while Bud Mitchell and “Spud” Crosson are star basketball players. The girls are few in number, but prominent in school activities.” “Tam glad to hear of the splendid record of your class, and wish you success.” Then we parted. —RUTH TEALL. GEASS Ol 26 The Class of ‘26 began its high school career three years ago with about sixty members enrolled. Since that time our pathway has indeed been one of success. In our first year we tried to do the small tasks that are expected f “Freshies.” One of these was the performing of the duties of ee -up committee after the Freshmen Reception, which was given in our honor. It was hard, but we lived through it, and, after a year of hard work, we realized that we were no longer ereen Freshmen. In our second year we forged ahead and soon proved ourselves worthy of our name. We surprised our upper classmen by the dem onstrations of our athletic abilities. That year our class was rep- resented in speedball, footbali, basketball, track and tennis. The life of our class as Bates has been successful. Our social career started out very well with a “Hard Time” party on New Year’s Eve. Then we, too, follow ed fhe: precedent set by the Junior class of 1921 by giving a play. “Adam and Eva” was presented Friday, January Oth, by the class and will be remembered by all. Here we proved our ability to meet some of the financial responsibilities of the school. Our athletic life in our Junior year deserves credit. This year’s basketball teams were composed mostly of Junior boys. We were well-represented in the 130-pound team by Brunetti, Vir gil Van Curen, Scott, and Freeman and in the Unlimited by Bud Mitchell, Crosson, and McNally. In the football team Brunetti, McNally, Freeman, Case, Markle, Mitchell, Gaskin and Crosson helped bring home vic- tories. In track Case, Brunetti, Markle, L. Coffee, Owens, and Scott were our shining stars. In speedball L. Mitchell, Scott, Brunetti, Webb, Case, and Crosson were our representatives, and in tennis, Bud Mitchell. The Junior class is very proud of its members who have taken an active part in athletics and in other school activities. Among these other activities we must not forget those who have made our high school paper a success. Due credit must be given to our first and second semester editors, Genevieve Barcroft and Ernestine Gardner. The students who are Juniors this year have a glorious future ahead of them as Seniors next year. In the last three years we feel that we have attained class spirit and real co-operation that will enable us to take up successfully the work which the preesnt Senior class will leave us.

SOPHOMORE A HISTORY Looking backward on our two years journey through high school, up the rugged road to wisdom, we can firmly say that they have heen two years of enjoyment and pleasure. We were put through the general form of initiation and had great sport eating garlic, carrots, onions, raw eggs, and partially cooked noodles at the Freshmen Reception given especially in our honor. This took a great deal of our so called “freshness” out of us, and left us considerably weaker than before. As Sophomores, we have had one “ripping”’ time. We sympathize with those who initiated us last year, for we can see what a wonder- ful time one can have initiating Freshmen. The greatest of all of our achievements is the fact that the Sopho- mores are the champion athletes of the school. We have defeated the Freshmen, Juniors, and Seniors in basketball, speedball, and football with a score decidedly in our favor each time. The Sophies are an accomplished class, don’t you think? = —G. BARTMANN. Emp Qiaes SOPHOMORE B HISTORY The Sophomore B Class entered M. U. H. S. im the year of 1924. It was one of the largest classes to enroll. We went to school cn the first day wondering what would happen to us, for we had heard many strange tales about the Freshies. ‘The upper-classmen laughed at us and remarked about our greenness; of course we couldn't see why. We got our books, and then our study- ing began. Between learning our lessons and trying not to look green so the Sophomores wouldn't laugh at us, we had no time to be lonely. Soon after school started we were invited to a reception by the upper-classmen who with great ceremonies, welcomed us into the Student Body of M. U. H. S. The Sophomores were champions of basketball this semester, sev- eral members in our class helping to win this honor through their active work. Our class is represented in several organizations: Girls’ League, Student Body, Gleelub, Orchestra, and Athletics. j ERMA WILLHOITE. 29 FRESHMAN A HISTORY We were a frightened lot of Freshmen who entered Madera High, September 29, 1924. We had all to gain and nothing to lose so we started out to be the best class in M. U. H. 5. We were snubbed by all until the Freshman Reception, where we were made the upper classmen’s equal, almost. Judging from the screams that issued forth from those who had to eat dead coyote, we must believe that they really thought the Seniors were truthful; and because some of the boys still wear green paint, it must be that it requires too vigorous a rubbing to get rid of it. Class meetings were held in October and officers for the semester were elected, with Wayne Wood as our first president. When the campaign for Student Body dues started, the Freshman B class came in with a percentage larger than the usual I reshmen class shows. We proved to be earnest supporters of the ‘Purple and White,” and with- out our help this issue of the Annual could not have been. The new semester opened February 16, 1925, with a boom. Arthur Ballenger was elected to succeed Wayne Wood, and the Student Body campaign for dues was again before us. We responded with our former zeal, but the boys won a higher percentage than the girls. Since it had been agreed upon that the losing side was to entertain the winning side, the girls were compelled to give a party, which was held in the Gymnasium on Saint Patrick’s Day. The program com- mittee, assisted by Mr. Thompson and Miss Campbell, planned many games, and, although some of our delicious cookies were stolen, we managed to have enough to feed the hungry winners with a few left for ourselves. In athletics our class ranks very high. Many fine players have been brought to light with the opening of each new season. This really sounds good to Coach Rowe, because with four years training and with the start they now have, these men will become fixed stars in the High School firmament. Watch the class of “28 grow, fellow-students. = FRESHMAN A CLASS B CLASS FRESHMAN FRESHMEN BecCiAss ’ As Freshmen B’s, we are still very young and inexperienced in high school life. But, with a membership of forty-five, we will surely erow up into excellent students, and will become as wonder ful in schoo! affairs as our noble Seniors and Juniors seem to be. Even with the greenness so fresh, we are beginning to work our way up, as is shown by our representation by three of our members in the orchestra and our participation in the operetta, “Bulbul.” of our fellow members are showing that athletics is to be one of their aims, by keeping in practice with the tennis and track teams of M. U. H.S. As for other sports, such as baseball, football, basketball, speed- ball, and soccer, we are still too small and must wait our turn. We may look like all Freshies now, and the upper classmen may poke fun at us. We'll be good sports, for we know that at one time somebody poked fun at them. But when these Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores become alumni they will journey back to the “Alma Mater,” where they spent many happy days, and watch us with admiration for upholding the same old standards of M.

(Continued on Page 84) = ase W. imide HISTORY OF MADERA ‘Today we find a pretiy and prosperous little city located in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley and known as Madera. Half a cen- tury ago its only inhabitants were the Indians. Such few white settlements as did exist consisted of large ranches which were miles apart. Soon after the Civil War, however, many settlers from Alabama came to Borden to make their homes. After the founding of Borden, a great lumber project began to be developed. In 1874 the pioneer lumbermen formed the California Ltum- ber Company, which operated until 1878, when it was hurt by the hard times of a dry year and an undeveloped market for its products. A flume was to be built from the mountains, but owing to geographical conditions and unsatisfactory co-operation of the Borden people, land for a mill site and townsite was purchased near the Fresno River on September 6, 1876. After the town began to be settled, Mr. W. H. Thurman, gave it the Spanish name “Madera,” which means lumber. But it was not until 1906, that the town incorporated, becoming the city of Madera. As the name Madera signifies “lumber,” it is interesting to note the progress of the lumber business. Out of the California Lumber Company grew the Madera Flume and Trading Company. A mill was erected in the mountains, and was followed later by the Soquel Mill. A large planing mill was built at Madera, but after twenty years of useful service this company went out of business. In 1883 the pres- ent Madera Sugar Pine Company was organized, and the lumbering trade again increased. A large mill was erected east of town, and the mountain null site was located at Sugar Pine, where the company had acquired holdings sold by the National Forest Service. In 1922 the sawmill burned down, but was immediately replaced by a larger and more modern mull. Madera is also an agriculture center. Early farming consisted only of grain raising, but today there are many square miles of fertile or- chards and vineyards surrounding the city, and it is hoped that these a) ae acreages will be increased in the near future through a great irriga- tion project which will provide water for more than 250,000 acres. At the beginning of the century a court house was erected. Six years later it burned down and was replaced by the present court house made of granite from the quarries in the county. The first schoo! building was erected on East Yosemite Avenue. Forty years later it burned, and was replaced by another wooden structure which also burned. he two-story brick school house which was constructed soon aiter, was razed at the time of the construction of the Pershing School across the street. In 1912 the Lincoln Grammar School was built op- posite the courthouse, and today it is considered one of the most beau- tiful school buildings of the state. The first high school was built where the present turf field is, but because of crowded conditions, the present building was erected in 1903. Of the many settlements which brought people to the vicinity, one of the most important was the John Brown Colony project of 1890. This brought many settlers from the eastern and middle states, but due to the failure of the bank which was financing the colony, was dis- banded. Today we find many farm centers to which Maderans point with pride because of the useful work they are performing. Thus Madera has grown and flourished continually, sometimes slow- ly and other times more rapidly. Today its citizens are vroud of it and the success with which it has overcome its difficulties. It has be- come bigger and better, and sometime in the near future will become one of the large cities of the San Joaquin Valley which was once con- sidered a desert by our forefathers. PIRATES I sat reading “Captain Kidd” in a comfortable arm chair in our warm, cheery library. Outside the wind was howling. Deep growls of thunder could be heard, and at times flashes of lightning could be seen through the window. I was very young, of course, and pirate stories appealed to my na- ture to the utmost. Sometimes I played the part of John Silver and —so= again | was old Captain Kidd himself leading the weary crew through the many adventures. When I finally finished I felt very cramped. My mind was awhirl with the crimes of the Captain, and they persisted in being my constant companions while I was preparing for bed. I could not help glancing back constantly nor feeling that some dreadful thing was Bout to happen. At last I was safely in bed and sound asleep. About one o’clock | awoke—with a start. JI was very cold, and to make matters worse I discovered I was on board a ship. At dawn a crew of evil looking men came out of the’cabins and surrounded me. Each wore a a bright red handkerchief around his head, and great gold ear-rings adorned his ears. When my eyes rested on the fearful sabres, guns and knives in their belts, 1 knew they were- pirates. Jumping up and facing them I said, “Let me be one of your crew. I am a bad, bold pirate in search of lost treasure.” ‘he men looked me over and seeing their admiring glances, | looked down at myself and discovered that I was adorned in the same manner of dress that they wore. Many adventures we had. We captured many ships, which we sank after robbing her of her riches and killing the crews. One day we sighted a great ship. Captain Kidd, our leader, said, “Ha! Another rich haul!’ We gave chase and captured the ship after two hours pursuit. Every pirate in sight was killed, and in honor of our new victory we reveled ourselves with the rare old wines in the ex-Captain’s cabin. While we were singing, “Jolly Tars,” pirates suddenly entered drag- ging a girl by the hair of her head. I suddenly saw red, for she was none other than Dorothea Woods, whom | liked very well. In fact, another boy and I had had a quarrel over her, and I had lost. “Flere is my chance to redeem myself,” | muttered as I threw myself forward snatching Dorothea to one corner, I turned and faced a cursing, blood-thirsty throng of cut-throats. Here I was by myself, with the mob closing in on Dorothea and me. Nearer and nearer they crept, when—boom! IT awoke with a start to find myself on the floor. So, it was nothing but a dream, after all, and | had gained rothing but a bump on my head.

The first affair that came before the Council was the giving of the reshmen reception. Due to the work of the Council, this party was an outstanding success. An amendment to our Constitution arose from a motion made by Councilman Brunetti. This amendment has met with favor among athletes as it provides for the replacement of worn out or destroyed Blocker ving.3. The task of collecting dues fell on this executive body both times this year. The first campaign was carried on with all the girls of the school competing with the boys. ‘The campaign for this semester was launched with the girls of the A and B sections against the boys of the same sections. The last task of the Council was the management of tbe election for officers of the spring semester. 4 4 STUDENT COUNCIL, SECOND SEMESTER The governmental ship of Madera Union Fligh School fell into the hands of an efficient crew when the officers of the council for the second school semester of 1925 took up their duties. No enterprises of especial importance were taken up by this council, other than those which accompany the usual routine of student affairs. The success of this body, probably, can be attributed to the excel- lent leadership abilities which Audre Carpenter, student president, possessed and used to advantage throughout his term. Second only to him was Vice President Paul Mitchell, a faithful worker. It was under the good influence of these two that the rest of the council, including Secretary Genevieve Barcroft, ‘Treasurer James Freeman, and the various class officers, worked so diligently to keep up the high standard of government in the Madera Union | ligh School and to promote student loyalty. ADEs STUDENT COUNCIL, FIRST SEMESTER (Above) STUDENT COUNCIL, SECOND SEMESTER (Below) WRU (CURES) JENIN IC Ie This year the Girls’ League fitted out the new Rest Room. Different girls volunteered to make the bright curtains and pillows. Some prom- ised to bring flowers; and others growing plants. All of these things were helpful in making a bright, attractive room for the girls who are ill. The Madera organization of the Girls’ League sent three delegates and our sponsor to the annual League Conference held in Hanford. The annual Hi Jinx was held in the cafeteria the first semester. Crossword puzzles, small hoys and girls and senoritas appeared. lor the mid-term Freshmen girls, the councils of both semesters gave an interesting luncheon, at which time the girls were made ac- quainted with the different rules and organizations of the school. During the last semester a number of interesting vocational talks have been given to the Girls’ League by different teachers and outside individuals. ‘The topics have been Nursing, Teaching, Art, Music, Business and Library. These talks are a great help to those who have not decided on what profession to choose. ie aa] WSHE SCHOLARS SOMME IN When the Scholarship Society, under the supervision of Mr. W. C. Mathews, was organized for the semester beginning September, 1925, a committee was appointed to investigate the records of all our students. It was found that only fifteen were eligible. In spite of that fact, a “forty-niners” party was given in January, each member inviting three other students. A gay time was had, and prizes were given for the costumes most typical of the time. Twenty-eight students were enrolled in the organization for the second semester. In May the society gave a play “The Boy Comes Home,” before the student body. Later this play. was presented at the National Theatre for the Ainerican Legion Auxiliary. The ten points which are necessary for membership are taken from the final grades each semester. Al in a solid counts three points, while a two is given one point. Ones in subjects less than ten credits or one unit are counted proportionately. A student may be allowed membership, however, if he has made eight points in scholarship and has taken part in school activities, such as plays, teams, offices, etc. Rie ‘THE MADERAN Vol. 13 MADERA, (C7MIE FORNIA, JUNE 22, 1925 INO. THE JOURNALISM CLASS ELECTS STAFF With the beginning of the second semester a new staff was elected for the ‘Ma- deran.’’ This staff ably up- held the standard set by the preceding class. The second “Maderan’’ editions were featured by clever cuts, jokes, and poems besides the regular, news items. The originality displayed each member of the class re- sulted in the production a paper which was eagerly awaited for every Wednes day. The staff, under the super- vision of Miss Mary Eger of the English department, was untiring in its efforts to publish the best ‘‘Maderan” since its introduction into Madera Union High School.

Under the management of this faithful staff, the paper pros- pered as never before. Or- iginality and good judg- ment were displayed in every issue, not to mention several unique feature - editions which were turned out by this class. Because of the journalistic ability which all the members of the class possessed to some extent, the “Maderan”’ for this semester will no doubt be considered one of the best papers ever lal, Sk Wach semester as the new editing class takes its place at the head of the paper, it strives to raise the standard This fact doubtless explains the good quality of the paper during the entire school year.

Perhi aps the most notable thing has been the organization of the band, which made its first public appearance at the Mariposa- Madera baseball game April 18. The members although few have been faithful and from this small beginning will grow a ‘band which will be an important fac- tor in the athletic events of future years. The orchestra was greatly improved and augmented by the addition of several new members at the mid-term. It has performed at all the larger school affairs, the Christmas Pr ogram, the Junior Play, May Day and accompanied the Operetta for the first time in the history of the school. It also appeared at the Senior Play, Commencement and Class Day. The chorus had a new activity this year in prov iding the music for the Baccalaureate Service. ‘he members Ss participated in the Operetta, the group of Christmas Carols, provided the incidental music for “Why the Chimes Rang” and sang a group of songs at the May Day Program. The combined glee clubs have made several appearances before the student body and have also Sune ratether Cli istmas ter ogram and in the Operetta. The Boys’ Glee Club sang on Class Day. The Girls Glee has had an exceptionally active year singing for the Rotary and Lions Clubs, the Shakespeare Festival and Conmmencemene The growth and number of performances during the year augurs well for the department for the next few years.

The purpose of the club is to gather together those who are inter- ested in improving rural conditions by studying scientific and eco- nomic methods related to farming with a view to applying them. Last year the club aided the authorities in suppressing the foot-and- mouth disease, and established a pure-bred pig club breeders organ- ization which brought into the country some of the best Duroc blood of the state. This year the Agriculture Club has fostered rural-school club- work, and on April 21, forty club members put on an exhibit at which fourteen pure-bred pig breeders exhibited examples of their work along with those of the agriculture students. The club is doing excellent work under the guidance of its officers with Mr. Moffitt as adviser. It is hoped the club will continue to work and thrive. CA TRA Cis s Three years ago the building in which the Cafeteria is located, was remodeled. ‘The first lunch was served by the Cafeteria girls, Sep- tember 25, 1922, under the supervision of Miss Worthington. The Cafeteria is run on a non-profit basis and is for the benefit of such students as appr eciate a hot lunch at noon. The class is open to all third and fourth year girls, who have had a year of beginning cookery. The course ts particularly good because of the practical ex- perience gained in everyday class work. All of the banquets given by the high school are prepared by the Cafeteria class. ‘he Cafeteria has been used a great deal by those who desired to give large banquets. —ALETHA BROWN. AN eUel tates (CIAICHS Three years ago the Hi-Y Club was organized in the Madera Union High School, with the object of pro- moting friendship among the boys of the school. Although the club lost many of its important leaders through graduation it has succeeded in putting on a successful ‘‘Father and Son’? banquet and an an- nual Hi-Y entertainment. Since this organization is composed of boys who are will- ing to sacrifice both their time and their energy towards school and community activities, it is always depended upon as one of the helpers in the affairs of the Madera Union High School. Faculty and business men alike have shown keen interest in its welfare. THE. DEBATING TEAM OF 1924-1925 Mr. L. C. Thompson ha s been the leader of the debating team this year. first debate was on the recog- nition of the Soviet Government of Russia. In this debate, Ells- worth Bruce and Etta Miller went to Oakdale, while Suren Gumurian and Alice Davis met Escalon at Madera High. For the second debate the question was on the reduction of armament in the United States. Max Sheldon and Eve- lyn Rich went to Sacramento, while Paul Mitchell and Ells- worth Bruce debated Fresno, here. Though the team was unsuc- cessful this year, the students realize that the experience re- ceived will prove valuable next year. BY y PURPLE � ° WHITE oe es FOOTBALL The season of 1924, for the pigskin artists, was not exactly a sue- cessful one from the standpoint of the number of games won. Losing a number of valuable plavers by graduation, the team start- ed with a great deal of green material. However, several very good men were unearthed. ‘These men, Mitchell, Crosson, Wattenbarger and Hughes, proved to be of great value. Added to the green material the team seemed to be cursed with a jinx. Injuries were very common, and these injuries always oc- curred at very critical moments. For instance, Gallardo was taken out at Chowchilla with a dislocated hip; MeNally and Cook both car- ried wrenched knees through the season, while Brunetti had trouble with his legs. Starting the season with a victory over Fresno High 145 pounders the team played splendid football. ‘The next week, however, Chow- chilla held us to a 6-6 score. Livingston then came down and was severely beaten. Our team playing excellent football. Dos Palos forfeited and Le Grand played us a 0-0 game. This left the playoff between Merced and Madera in which Merced was victorious taking the league championship. ‘his season’s work with the new men will, however, give Coach Rowe a splendid nucleus on which to build his next year’s team. With Brunetti as Captain the prospects look very bright and the team should win its share of games. This year’s line-up was as follows: Lewis, left end; Gaskin, left tackle; P. Mitchell, left guard; A. Car- penter, center; Gallardo, right guard; McNally, right tackle; L. Mitchell, right end; H. Cook, quarter back; R. Wattenbarger, right halt: Brunetti. left half; Crosson, full back. BASKETBALL—UNLIMITED he M. U. H. S. unlimited basketball team o f 1925 was again successful in winning the Bi-county championship. ‘The team, cap- tained by “Bud” Mitchell, star center, proved its ability when it easily defeated Merced, our most dangerous opponent. ‘To support Captain “Bud” were Br ” Long and “Jock” Rea, forwards, and “Spud” Cioscons. McNally, and Audre Carpenter, guards. ING yy” Li ong graduated in February, it was necessary to use the pe forw ard James Freeman, who, although he was unable to equal “Ty” Long’s brilliant playing, helped the team finish a success- ful season. LIMITED Fighting every minute, and playing their best, the crack 130's brought home the bacon in the form of a Bi-county pennant. The middle-weights opened the basketball season by defeating the fast Selma squad. They followed up this good start by overwhelming Le Grand, Chowchilla and Kerman. The fighting Rinkydinks crushed down last year’s middle-division pennant winner, Dos Palos. Keyed up to their highest pitch and determined to beat their close pennant contenders, the regulars (Curie, Copland, Capt. Townsend, Brunetti, Hope) walked over Merced. The “Purple and White” 130 pound basketeers qualified for the finals in the Bi-county league by beating Livingston. The champion- ship game with Los Banos was the har dest league g game the Rinky- dinks played. The outcome hung in the balance until “Curie” sunk a field goal and two fouls in the last two minutes of play winning Ma- dera the game by a 14-1] score. At the last of the season, the now over-confident pee lost the semi-finals for the valley title by losing to Wasco, 15- The successful season of the Rinkey dinks was due a good coach and a reserve which rivalled the regulars in ability, namely, Oley Reinolds, G.

By virtue of her victories of last year and this year the local “‘toesters’” have run their consecu- tive winning column to thirteen games without a loss. Under the leadership of Brunetti the team maintained its fighting spirit throughout the season. The trio composed of Mitchell, Brunetti, and Copeland played the offensive position and the line proved a downfall for all opposing teams. FE. Long in the back field thrilled the fans with his long kicks from the danger zone. BASEBALL eee the season with but four veterans of last year’s squad, the M. U. H. S. baseball team finished the season with a record of eight victories os three defeats. Only one of the three defeats was in a league game. Coach Rowe was faced with the task of developing some first class players to replace last year’s stars. The veterans from last year were Moore, Mitchell, Van Curen and Rea. Mitchell had the misfortune of securing too many demerits and was unable to finish the season. Mitchell's loss was a hard blow to our chances as Bud was a good fielder and one of our best hitters. “Lefty” Moore finished his third year as pitcher and still has one year ahead of him. ‘Lefty’ was the best pitcher in the Bi- County League and if he had been given the proper support, Madera would have romped home with the pennant. Besides pitching, Moore led the team in hitting, a most unusual performance for a pitcher. Captain Van Curen, the midget third sacker, played hard and con- sistently throughout the season. Van Curen was the smallest third baseman in the league and fielded his position with the best of them. “Jock” Rea, our long-legged first baseman was the shining light in the infield. The way he handled the hard pegs and fast grounders would set an example for any first baseman. = jile= The Madera High tennis tean again this year, and also the Vall In the Bi-county meet we took Milburn Wright, playing his singles, in the Bi-county and will Wattenbarger and Ellis won t Coe Swift and Katharyn Baile able to win, but played a good g% Iernestine Gardner and Evely1 Ei = ml ey 1 won the Bi-county tennis pennant ey championship for Girls’ Doubles. hree out of five matches. first year on the team won boy’s yrobably be heard from again. ve Bi-county doubles championship. y, playing mixed doubles, were not me. 1 Bareroft took the Bi-county and valley championship for girl’s ¢ years’ experience and will play ag oubles.

Starting the season with but four letter men, Mitchell, Markle, Case, and Coffee, Coach Rowe developed a fairly good track team. Among those who sprung surprises and made a name for themselves as Purple and White tracksters were C. Peterson, who heaved the javelin to break the M. U. H. S. record, “Buck” Owens, who leaped around 18 feet in the “B” class, “Toby” Scott, who developed into a good distance man, and “Chack” Ashton, also a sprinter. The team suffered a handicap when Case quit school, but his place was filled by Gaskin and Scott. Markle was an excellent 440 man and did his bit in the shot, 880, and broad jump. Sheldon and Van Curen represented us in the high jump, both making over five feet. Other members of the team were A. Carpenter, discus; L. Smellie, discus; Johnny Rea, shot; Brunetti, hurdles and sprinter; Dominici, 880; and Scheffing, broad jump. Coach Rowe sent a three-quarter mile relay team to San Jose com- posed of Ashton, Markle, Mitchell, and Coffee, which took first place and added a beautiful silver cup to the Purple and White’s collection. ee TENNIS TEAM (Above) —-TRACK TEAM (Below) GIRS CHAMPIONSHIP BASE BALIO iE AM ‘his tcam is one of the best that Madera High ever produced.

Auditorium on March 27 and 28. It was by far the most successful production of its kind ever given here. Not a small part of its success was due to the beautiful cos- tumes made by the sewing department under the direction of Miss Worthington and to the clever scenery and stage settings designed and executed by the Dramatics Class in charge of Mrs. Hubbard. Genevieve Loveland in the title role captivated the audience with her lovely voice and dainty manners. She was ably supported by Ells- worth Bruce. Alice Davis, Ruth Benson, Suren Gumurian and Paul Mitchell in the other leading parts could not have been improved upon. The choruses of Maids of Honor and Peddlers helped to create the charming atmosphere of the Empire Period. The addition of orchestral accompaniment added interest, “IDA VACNUDY TE OA The Class of ’26 may well be proud of the success of its Junior play, “Adam and Eva.” With new talent in the leads, the audience was presented with something worth while. Ray Lewis, as Adam Smith, proved an efficient father when he put the expensive King family on a self supporting basis. Iva, the most charming member of this family, played by Sara Cox, was man- aged easily by ‘father’ Adam, though no less tactfully than the rest whom he stirred to find self-supporting positions for themselves. The final scene took place on the chicken ranch of the honeymoon- ers, Arlone Neumann and Paul Ellis. James King returned to his happy family and learned that Eva had been won by Adam. Others who added much to the play were Clifford Gaskin, the fam- ily doctor, Paul Sheldon, the chronic invalid uncle, Pauline Smith, the modern aunt, and Leroy Smeilie, a typical Englishman. Miss Hoetfer kindly consented to coach the Juniors, and the success of the play was a credit to her work. Gj US ceil WIT E = i Ree a. srsnnarn oz atten endian sctn CHRISTMAS PROGRAM A delightful Christmas entertainment was presented in our au- ditorium on the evening of December 18. The combined Glee Clubs and Chorus sang many fine old: carols. “We Three-Kings of Orient Are,” “The First Noel,” “Silent Night,” and “Deck the Halls With Boughs of Holly” were some of the well known carols enjoyed by the audience. A fantastic ballet with Pierrette, Columbine, and Pantaloon added diversity to the program as did the two one-act plays that were given. One of these plays, “Dust of the Road,” which had the Middle West as its setting, was presented by Suren Gumurian, Eda Ladd, Max Sheldon and Paul Mitchell. The other play, “Why the Chimes Rang,” based on an old legend, was presented by Tekla Barnett, Lois Tipton, Hart Cook and Dorothy Hunt. The elaborate settings for the program were designed by Carolyn Stemhour and worked out by the art department. ; SHAKESPEARE PAGIZANG Tor one night a few of our prominent students stepped back to the Ilizabethan period to present a scene from “King Lear” at the annual San Joaquin Valley Shakespeare Pageant at Fresno. As Madera ruled the Pageant this year, the dramatic class sent its best talent. The role of the ruler, Queen Elizabeth, was graciously portrayed by Beulah Davis. The Queen’s charming attend- ants were Dorothy Hunt, Josephine Bethards, Lulu Pittman, and Kathleen Tipton. Shakespeare, who introduced the various groups for all of the productions, was played by Ellsworth Bruce. Though the scene from “King Lear” was well enacted by all and met with much praise, special commendation went to Hart Cook as “King Lear,” Paul Mitchell, madman, and Ellis Throckmorton, court jester. To Mrs. Hubbard, this year’s general stage director at the pageant, is due much of the success of the pageant and the credit for coaching that brought Valley-wide recognition of our talented thespians. 6 — KING LEAR’ . ven FRESHMAN RECEPTION ‘The annual frolic in henor of the new students, who entered the fold of the Madera Union High School at the beginning of the term, was held October 10. Each frosh was given his share of initiation by some of the upper classmen. Although they were all badly scarec d, they escaped with few scratches. After the program and initiations the evening was turned over to dancing. At a reasonably early hour refreshments were served, and the freshmen were sent home to hed. stk st sk sk ste ok K kK kK SENIOR-PARENT NIGHT ‘he annual meeting of the Seniors, their parents, and members of the faculty was held October 22.

A short program was also enjoyed which consisted of a piano duet by Kkatharyn and Leonora Bailey, a dance by Miss Hoefer, and a piano solo by Richard Warner. After the program and the discussions, a social hour was had in which everyone was given an opportunity to talk and get acquainted. Delicious refreshments were See Dy the cooking class. “ACUL ny PARTY The home of oer: R. J. Teall was the scene of much fun and laughter on the evening of October 25, when the annual reception to the teachers and trustees was given by Mr. and Mrs. Teall. The even- ing was a most unusual one throughout the course of the party. Many original stunts and games were tried out, one being a very touching pantomime given by members of the faculty. Refreshments were served in a most unique fashion and in such Fj a way that some of the guests found nothing but empty dishes on their trays, while others had a superabundance of cream puffs. After much exchanging, however, everyone finally secured the whole menu, and enjoyed it the more for the effort expended. ALUMNI BANQUET One of the events of the year most worthy of remembrance was the Alumni Banquet, given by the Senior Class on the evening of December 19. About two hundred alumni and seniors were present to enjoy an evening of good eats and entertainment. The affair proved a great success, bringing back. fond memories to former students of their high school days. ‘lhe duty of toast master was handled very capably by Mr. Philip Conley, who called on many graduates of note for short talks. The program for the evening in- cluded a dance by Miss Hoefer, a reading by Miss Campbell, a ole solo by Miss Short, anda pantomime by a group of high school girls. Dancing concluded an evening of renewed friends ships and happy remembrances. tk, sk oi JUNIOR PARTY Mhe Junior Class held a jolly hardtime party on the night of New Year's Eve. Penalties were charged against those not presenting themselves in the worst clothes they could possibly find. The evening was spent in playing games of various kinds and danc- ing. After delicious refreshments the Juniors departed, feeling in the right mood to welcome the New Year successfully. Kk Kk SICIMOI AIRS TUNE AIR IPN” The Scholarship Society gave one of the most or iginal and enjoyable parties of the year in the form of a “Forty-niner” celebration held on the night of January 23 in the high school gymnasium. Costumes, pistol shots, holdups, and lynching gangs threw the whole atmosphere into the days when California was in its youth. There were various side shows to see, besides the games and dancine. Aileen Cunningham and Paul Mitchell captured first prizes for Wearing costumes most typical of that period, while Thekla Barnett and Hart Cook carried off second prizes. Refreshments of sandwiches, cake, and chocolate were served, after which everybody returned to his modern mode of living. epee GIUKIES TelkGdal UN OX The Girls’ League held their annual High Jinx party on the evening of January 31. Almost all of the girls were present in on most freakish and clever attire they could obtain for the jolly occasion. Alice Davis, in a clever cross word puzzle costume, and Lois Teton as Huckleberry Finn, won the prizes. The biggest part of the evening was spent in playing games, and dancing, after which refreshments of sandwiches and chocolate were served. FRESHMEN GIRLS’ LUNCHEON ‘he Freshmen girls, who entered high school in the middle of the term, were delightfully entertained at a luncheon given by the Girls’ League Council in the sewing room on February 17. There were thirty girls present. Many important and instructive talks were given by members of the council for the benefit of the new students. sk ar, 3K 7k PARENT-TEACHERS’ NIGHT About three hundred parents and patrons of the Madera Union High School were visitors here on Thursday evening, February 26. ‘The parents went to the auditorium where they were entertained with a program consisting of an address of welcome by Genevieve Barcroft, a selection by the Girls’ Glee Club, two folk dances by the physical education classes, and a play by the Scholarship Society. Mr. Teall answered several questions asked by various parents, and dis- cussed things of interest to them. Miss Bennink explained the merit system, and Mr. Mathews talked on the Scholarship Society. After the entertainment in the auditorium they went through the day's program of their children, meeting the various teachers.

Most of the noble Seniors and noisy Juniors were present in various forms of cowboys, gypsies, kiddies and some were just plain freaks. The evening was jammed full of fun for everybody, even to the faculty. Some of the most talented young students furnished j Jazzy music for the dancing, which lasted until time for the “eats” consisting of ice-cream and cake. 4 JUNIOR SENIOR 1 RECEPTION The Seniors were Arenal, entertained by the Juniors at the Junior-Senior reception held June 24.

Ble Rie sk 3K we K FACULTY PLeNiIC Saturday afternoon, March 21, proved to be a very enjoyable one for the high school faculty. ‘They spent it in the hills around Coarse Gold, where most of them entertained themselves by indulging in the game of golf. Those who didn’t care to swing the clubs hiked over the hills. The day was ended by building a large cz unpfire over which steaks were broiled, pea aes Horsie ey Little Red Riding Hood : vee Rough Btupeke ay DRAMATICS This year a dramatics class was organized under the English depart- ment at the beginning of the second semester. Everyone eee the new course enthusiastically Under the guidance of Mrs. Hubbard this class proved very suc- cessful in its many attempts to serve the school. Stage settings were carefully studied, each member constructing an original @ garden scene for a miniature stage. When this had been successfully accomplished, the class decided to do much bigger things, and after many hours of labor, both in and out of class, they constructed the two very artistic settings which helped to make the operetta this year a success. Many interesting monologues and dialogues were given in class. Greek Drama, Classical Plays, English and American Dramas, were studied thoroughly and enjoyed by every member. When the Shakespeare Pageant was to be presented at Fresno, Madera was given the honor of choosing a member of the High School to pose as Queen Elizabeth. Paul Mitchell, Hart Cook, Earl Coffee, Ellis Throckmorton, and Audre Carpenter presented Act IV, Scene 3, from King Lear as Madera’s contribution to the Pageant. At the May Day Festival held at the high school in honor of the eighth grade pupils of the district schools, four groups of students from the class presented scenes from plays as follows: From “Sherwood,” Act II, Scene 3; from “As You Like It,” Act III, Scene 3; from “Merchant of Venice,” Act II, Scene 2; and from “Mid- summer's Night’s Dream,” Act I, Scene 2. These plays were under the direction of the individual groups and the costuming was done by a member of each group. The Senior Play cast was chosen mostly from members of this class, although every Senior could try out. Much credit is due to the cooperation and faithfulness of the class. Although this work is very interesting and sometimes resembles play, it is also very instructive and helpful in learning English and teaching amateurs the portrayal of characters. ME coe OSH JURE SIS MUSE PNR INU BIO IIS On presenting “The Irresistible Marmaduke” the Senior Class ful- filled every dramatic requirement, and proved that another play could be as successful as last year’s Junior Play, “Daddy Long Legs.” After four weeks of excellent coaching by Mrs. Hubbard, the play was presented Tuesday evening, June 23. Marmaduke, the spoiled son of Lady Althea Gregory, disappeared at the very time his step-father, Mortimer Gregory, a very business- like man, was coming to offer him a land agent billet. “Pat” O’Brien, Lady Althea’s niece, saved the day by bringing from the hospital a man who had lost his memory, and who so resembled Marmaduke that everyone thought he was Lady Althea’s son. Two nights later the real Marmaduke slipped in and the Irresistible Marmaduke was again nobody. After much argument Gregory decided to take Marmaduke, and Christopher Deacon came to claim the stranger as Lord Lynton, who in turn claimed he loved “Pat.” Paul Mitchell, as Marmaduke, and Alice Davis, as Pat, with the supporting members of the cast, showed unusual ability.
