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.

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.

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. =

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. Bye
