Barager, in appreciation of his guidance r ‘ fs ea and lopalty to the Class of 1929 FOREWORD We, the members of the Purple and White Staff of 1929, wish to express our appreciation to all who have helped and worked in making our “aviation number” a success. We wish to thank Mr. K. M. Barager, Miss Elizabeth Stoddard and Mrs. Winna Kimmick for their interest and help. Without the splendid co-operation which the student body, alumni and Madera business men gave in our work, this edition of the | urple and White would not be possible, OUTS Tir eet BS School work is not all that counts in the rounding out of a stu- dent’s education in the high school. Alt though the importance of book knowledge is indisput: ‘able, people are realizing more and more that citizenship training through extra curricular activities is most es- sential. Amone the most important outside activities we find: Ath- letics, debating, holding offices in clubs and organizations, taking part in contests, newspaper “and annual work and dramatics, In athletics a student learns co-operation, team work and sports- manship. He learns to keep up his courage through failure as well as success and he learns that he must continue to strive and work, even alter he has met with victory. Dehating teaches a student to speak before the public. It « develops self reliance, courage and quick thinking and gives a student that calm, easy manner in speaking which is so very desirable. Holding offices and managing student organizations will develop executive ability and 1s of value in preparation not only for the busi- ness world but also for community life in which there are always leaders being sought. A student sitting in a typing contest with a hundred or more machines clicking, receives a thrill that will never be forgotten. Ile finds himself in a position in which he must match his wits and brains with the wits and brains of hundreds of other students. In newspaper and annual work students learn tact and diplomacy and they learn to consider the other person’s point of view as well as to express themselves on paper cle ne and simply. In conclusion l et me say: ‘“Eyvery student who gives his or her time and energy to outside activities will find himself or herself well repaid for his or her efforts by the experience which will be received.” f] W _— — — ———— ROY LONG DEAN SMELLIE JOHN HUMPHREYS BETTY SMITH MARTHA SLEDGE Jokes Alumni Assistant Business Girls’ Sports Organizations Manager LAWRENCE SANDERSON COE SWIFT ANITA L.

Before taking off, the veterans of the air took it upon them- ss to acquaint the new comers with the perils of the journey and “Freshman Reception” was given. .On the following day, the ship a her journey with Lehre Martin and Margaret Teall acting as pilots, Vera Justice and John Ferguson as mates, and Mr. Thompson as their capable commander. ‘The first lap of the journey was unevent- ful. I rank eee and Roy Long then took their posts at the helm with Hene Wilson, Jim Page, Doyle Haney, and Frank Bergon assist- ing them. Mr. Thompson was retained as commander. Putting out from port for the third time, we find that the re- sponsibility of piloting our ship rested upon Dean Smellie and Juanita Baker, with Delma Ballenger, Glen Caldwell, and Martha Fletcher as mates. Miss Hall was the commander. However, a great misfortune had come over the crew, and only thirty-nine remained to carry on the journey. This lap was broken by several short stops. At one of these landings, the crew put on a play called “Safety First.” Another short stop was made when the passengers entertained at a “‘Junior-Senior Reception.” With Frank Bergon as pilot for the first half of the flight, our fliers started out on the last lap of their journey. The mates consisted of Dean Smellie and Vera Justice. Mr. Barager held the position of commander. A few short landings were made for basketball and football games. The second half promised to be much more exciting. ‘Ihe crew selected Coe Swift as pilot, and Dan Milinovich, Martha Sledge, and Wayne Woods as ship mates. Mr. Barager was retained as com- mander. This lap was necessarily broken by stops, for our fliers were now a group of celebrated aviators. A number of these landings were made for the purpose of holding debates with the members of other ships, and a silver cup was added to the collection of souvenirs brought home by the crew. Another stop was made necessary when each member of the crew appeared on the job in a comical costume. The final stop was made when our heroes put on the play, “The Whole Town’s Talking.” On June 8, 1929, the “Good Ship 29” stopped her motors on the landing field of her destination, PURI Le WIA pany Qa BS EE Ss aif ith = == ———— ei -5—————— aS es JUNIOR B CLASS OFFICERS First Semester Second Semester Donald McNally sess cese--e-n oe Soe AU eSIMOM te A o2canceserncseeeraneee sas _..

They are no longer lower class: men, but now belong to that powerful group of upper classmen. In sports, the Junior B’s are one of the most prominent classes. One of our football heroes, Louis Nouque, is a member of this class. They are not only active in football, but in all other sports, namely: basketball, track and baseball. A couple of the members of this class, Royal Jones and Donald McNally, have been doing some very interesting wood work. Donald's masterpiece was a filing case for the office in which to file entrance test papers. Royal's addition to our school was a large phonograph record case for the music department. The Junior B’s have so far proved themselves to be an exceedingly progressive group of students, and the faculty members say they are looking forward with high hopes to the success of this class during the remainder of their high school career.

It has taken three years of har d work, but the goal was worth the effort. he Senior B class will graduate in February, 1930, but will have to wait until June of that year to receive their diplomas. By the manner in which the Senior B class entered into the last student campaign it was quite evident they have excellent school spirit, as they went over, one hundred per cent. Only two classes in the school have the hundred per cent record this year. Speaking of Clarence Miles at once draws the thoughts and in- terest of all present to school athletics, Clarence having held the posi- tion of football captain, during the 1928 season. Another Senior B who was a member of the football squad is Joe Stefan, and the class is proud of the sportsmanship shown by these two boys. Mary Van Curen holds the office of Girls’ Athletic Association president. Who does not recognize the expression, “Come on, Kids!’ Not many of us, | am sure. Of course, that familiar order was often issued by our yell leader, Hazel Bush—Hazel having led our students in yells for two successive semesters, As the importance of agriculture is gradually being recognized by all we find greater interest in the work of the department and a larger number of students from each class seeking honors in that line of work. Two members of the Senior B’s who have distinguished themselves in hog and rabbit raising and have taken part in many of the contests are Sam Schmidt and Walter Curran, On reviewing the list of Scholarship Society members we find six of them are members of this class. Aileen Butler, John Humphreys and Wilson Grace are on the Purple and White staff. One of the early social events last fall was a dance given in the high school cafeteria by the Senior B's, then the Junior A’s. The affair was an informal get-to-gether and every one present had a most enjoyable time. The cafeteria was decorated with balloons. The reception given the graduates during senior week was a real success due on a large part to the efforts of the Senior B’s who joined with the Junior classes, in giving the party. VRPLEWHITE — ,.

Flanigan The Junior A’s have already begun to share the responsibility of student activities, and from the showing made up to the present time, the class has many possible leaders to take up the work of the outgoing Seniors. To start the year out right, our Juniors entertained themselves at a very enjoy able dance. ‘TI’ te was the first party of the year, which shows that the Juniors lost no time in starting the social ball a rolling. They not only began the year with a party, but ended up with a very successful “Junior-Senior Reception.” ‘This gay festival was held in the cafeteria, and the decorations, which were taken charge of by Aileen Butler were most attractive. Percy Bost orchestra provided music for the dancing, and every one present voted it one of the best and prettiest parties of the year. The Junior A class has a larger representation in sports than any other one class in the school. ‘Four of our noted football heroes are members of this class. These valuable men are: Elbridge Daniels, Elsworth Gordon, Raynor Parkes, and Charles Whitaker. The Juniors also have a number of well-known track men, basketball players, and baseball men. In Scholastic standing, the class as a whole rates very high, having a large number of representatives in the Scholarship Society. If this rate is kept up, there will be a great number of gold seals adorning the diplomas presented in 1930. The Juniors also have, as one of their members, one of Madera County’s future successful agriculturists. ‘This young rancher is Homer Clawson, who has done some very interesting work on poultry projects. In dramatics, we find that we have some very capable Juniors. The play, “Nancy Ann,” proved to be a wonderful success, both financially and otherwise. The audience, which filled the high school auditorium, was most enthusiastic at its close. Many Juniors not only took part in “Nancy Ann” but are members of the dramatic class, and as such, took part in the numerous assembly plays during the year. The most outstanding of these was the play given for the benefit of the Maderan, “The Travelers,” by Booth Tarkington, FV Le All ( —35— AHOWOHdOS o—o SOPHOMORE A CLASS OFFICERS First Semester Second Semester DowaldwyicNa Wy vecetecrees ees eee President gestern. ae ane Vinnie Webster DDT ke TEU Cee ae esa ase Vice President _. ....

At the present time, the class numbers forty. That the Sophomore A’s are made up of ambitious, hard-working students has been proved by the work they have done in the shop classes. In this particular activity, the “Sophies’” have the largest representation of the school. ‘hose who have been especially active in this work are: Johnny Sciacqua, ‘ony Stefan, Bernard Schroeder, Homer Clawson, and James Oberti. The Sophomores are not only active in shop work, but in agri- cultural work as well. If all of these young ranchers continue to be as successful as they have been, in the future California will have a great number of excellent farmers to her credit. ‘he members of this class active in agriculture are: Walter Ficklin, Marvin Gangbin, Roland Pianezzi, Bernard Schroeder, Jerome Mendoza, and John Dermer. Girar Avakian, the ever willing-to-help school cartoonist, and clever drawer, is a member of the Sophomore class. He contributed drawings to almost every department for the school exhibit in April, and the Maderan, and Purple and White staffs will gladly give him a vote of thanks for his help. Numerous of his cartoons from time to time, have illustrated the pages of the Maderan, and in this issue of the Purple and White. you shall see three examples of his pen draw- ines, Just before Thanksgiving an old custom at the high school has been for all the students to collectively contribute what they could to help fill Thanksgiving boxes which are given to the poor families of Madera. Following the custom donations were collected this year but the drive was handled in a little different manner to enable the classes to compete for the honor of being the most charitable. Chairmen were named in each sponsor group and the students in each group worked as a unit and the totals of the sponsor groups from each class were added to- gether. The Sophomore A class gave the most. = a) | | cc el L_| | | D mye | y) is y Lz l = y IE | | J1 SOPHOMORE B SOPHOMORE B CLASS OFFICERS First Semester Second Semester IMerlemnvussel lita eo ser eee ee IBReSid enmity oe eee Mayburn Davenport Milford Pickett -..

Our “Freshies” of last semester are now high and mighty ‘“‘Sophies”. They are now in a position where they can look down upon the Freshmen, instead of being looked down upon. This class is very fortunate in having our remarkable debator, Arthur Manasee, as one of their members. This is the first time that the lower classes have been represented in debating. The team won the valley championship, and therefore are entitled to retain the cup which was won last year. ‘This makes the second year that we have had this honor, and if our debating team keeps up the good record for one more year, the cup.is ours to keep. Mr. McMahon has hopes of some excellent agriculturists develop- ing from this class. Those upon whom he places his highest hopes are Imilio Masolini and Lloyd Agajanian. Owing to the change from class parties to all-school parties, the class has not indulged in social activities as a group, but as individuals are always present in large numbers. The “Sophies” are well repre- sented on committees for all school affairs. By the time these stu- dents become Seniors, they no doubt, will lead all of the classes in all lines of activities, judging by the splendid start they have made. The Sophomore B’s have not yet been represented to any extent in sports, but they have some very promising young sportsmen in their midst, and in a couple of years, they will probe bly make up our football, basketball, track, and baseball teams. Our Sophomore class is well on its way to success, and in a very short time, we shall hear of them as the leaders of our school. It has already increased three in number since the beginning of this year. In September, there were fifty-three young hopefuls, and at the be- ginning of this semester, they numbered fifty-six. No doubt they will rise to the top, and in two years send forth into the world a good sized senior graduating class. : In the Scholarship Society, we find several exceedingly brilliant “Sophies”. This class is just getting started, folks; so you other classes had better watch your step, or you are very apt to find your- selves left by the wayside.

McMahon The Freshman A class numbered one hundred fifty-six when they entered in September, 1928. They were welcomed in the usual manner by a joint initiation and reception. Coe Swift, Frank Bergon, and Max Wilkes were the leaders of the occasion, putting on a Bol- shevic program. The Freshmen were brought in as prisoners and were to undergo the terrible punishment of being exiled to Chow- chilla unless they put on an acceptable program. Kndeavoring to avoid such a calamity, Allen Harkins and Edra Bondeson played solos on the piano. Woodrow Snowden played some numbers on the harmonica and all the Freshmen made an attempt at dancing to fast music which was played by the upper classmen. ‘The entertain- ment was enjoyed by all who were spectators. To try out the sportsmanship attitude of the Freshmen boys, a tug of war was held hetween the Freshmen and Sophomore classes. The event will undoubtedly be remembered for a long time to come, especially by the Freshmen who were dragged through a pond of water which had been made on Sixth and M streets. No mercy was shown to the boys who tried to avoid the pond by letting go of the rope, as each was taken afterwards and given a special ducking. When the initiation events were over, every one had to admit the class was first rate and had excellent school spirit. Along special lines, we find the students of this class doing very interesting work, such as making a spring board for Mr, Petersen’s tumbling class, a coal and wood storage for Mr. Bartelt, a book case for the Pershing school, a filing cabinet for Mr. Armstrong, and four traffic signals for the school traffic squad. ‘These very much appre- ciated articles were made by Edward Kast, Royal Jones, Louis Vlasschart, and Howard Root. There are also some very promising agriculturists in our Fresh- man class. Those whom we expect to rise rapidly to the top are Norie Avakian, Rinard Pitman, Walter Smith, Howard Root, and Paul Pence. Norie Avakian and Walter Smith are members of the Dairy Cattle Judging team; Rinard Pitman of the Dairy Products, and Paul Pence is a member of the Farm Mechanics team. In golf, Bob Dearborn seems to be the outstanding representative. a J fie js FRESHMAN B CLASS OFFICERS IPPEST GON tse co eee eee teat a aera ooeeerce eG os rete xicadee nue eek PEP RS er ocetl ena amer Ray Miles Vice President - _ Louise Parker MNeasUNe ny eecscce..

They were not many in number, but they proved themselves to be a lively, wide awake group by the manner in which they took their initiation. Of course, every incoming class has to go through the initiation ceremony before becoming a full fledged member of the student body. ‘This group put on an assembly program. The Freshman band, as many will remember, almost rivaled the high school band, and one of the song birds of the class was [leanor Sarll. Betty Palmer danced, and Kenneth Nichols favored the audience with a few words of instruction on golf. The quaint cos- tume worn by Jane Stevens was the winner of the first prize. As agriculturists, ou r freshmen have proved themselves very apt students, and will undoubtedly be contest winners in the future. Mem- bers of this class have also done some excellent work in the wood-shop department, and have made numerous articles for the school. Miss Merwin, as the class advisor, has guided the students in the start of their high school career. FURPLEEWAITE ae ae 1897 George W. Mordecai, Madera. Irene Slater (Mrs. Hunter), Virginia.

The Council planned a point system which went into effect at the beginning of the spring term. In this system points are given to the girls for taking part in the league activities, and a girl receiving one hundred points is entitled to a gold pin. On Hallowe'en the members of the Girls’ League gave a masquer- ade party in the cafeteria. At Thanksgiving several families were helped by the boxes of food. At Christmas the Council sent gifts to the Orphans’ Home. Delegates were sent to the Girls’ League Convention held at Lemoore which proved to be very interesting. One of the many helpful suggestions received was the new initiation service used for the first time in Madera at the beginning of ihe spring semester. A big event of the year was the Cupid’s Dance, sponsored by the Council. The last event of the year was the Girls’ League picnic.

Thompson The first council meeting of the year was held on September 20, at which time the council decided to have the Maderan continued at the same size as of previous years, to be published every two weeks. It was through the work of this council that the largest amount of stu- dent body dues, in the history of the school was collected. One of the best programs ever put on for that purpose, was presented before the student body. A new plan for parties was adopted by the council, and passed by the student body. ‘Through this plan a school party is now given each month, which is sponsored by some organization of the school. The council passed a resolution, admitting the alumni to both the Ireshmen Receptions and the Junior-Seni or Receptions. The annual doll dance was given by the council, which turned out to be one of the best dances of the year. The dolls were given over to the Madera Lions Club to be placed on their toy pile.

Thompson Although the campaign for student body dues was not so success- ful as the preceding semester, a very interesting program was _ pre- sented by this council, at which time talks were given on baseball, track, girls’ athletics and on the Maderan. A bill was passed by the student body awarding a sweater to any athlete who made a letter in four major sports or who received five major letters. ‘This cancelled the previous award of a coyote head. A sum of twenty-five dollars is to be appropriated each year for this purpose. A resolution was placed in effect, providing for both a police and fire squad for the protection of the high school. The fire squad is to take care of all fire drills, and see that the building is protected with first apparatus. ‘The police squad is to take care of traffic congestions in the halls at all times, and be of particular service during the fire drills. The Chief of the Fire Department and the Chief of the Traffic Squad were added to the members of the student body council.

The high spot of the year was at the time our members received the California Scholarship Federation novitiate pins. They were purchased by the board of trustees and were presented to the members of the society by Superintendent M. C. Taylor. ‘The pins are of yellow gold and are in the form of a torch with a band around the middle in which are printe d the letters, S. S., standing for Scholarship Society, or Scholarship for Service, according to the desires of the individual chapters of the organization. On April 12, three of our Scholarship members, accompanied by Miss Works, and their sponsor, Miss Welch, journeyed to San Mateo to attend the annual Scholarship convention. Our delegates, who were Margaret Chamberlin, Harold Johnson, and Martha Fletcher, came home with many interesting tales of their trip. On the night of their arrival, the delegates from all of the different schools were en- tertained at a theatre. party. On the following morning, a business session was held in the library of the high school, at which time many interesting questions were discussed. ‘After this session, a delicious luncheon was served in the cafeteria of the school. This was followed by several round table discussions held in the different class rooms. ‘These discussions completed the business sessions of the convention, and the delegates were then taken on a sight seeing tour of the city. ‘The society has been very fortunate this year in having members who are willing to take part in programs for the benefit and amuse- ment of the other members and the student body. Musical selections, both vocal and instrumental, readings, and informal debates have been presented both before the student body and before the society members in meetings. This year has seen many amendments proposed to the federation | constitution. ‘he matter has become so important and difficult that a special committee was appointed to investigate the proposals and report back to the society upon their findings. Publicity and entertain- ment committees were appointed also. toon ayn s FAG ea ea Se ALHIOOS W WOOTH = (i = Me Z- +H lnc = UE ANY 7 LM |__lh 17 7 - ii oy aS ett BOCK Viges© © ling OFFICERS PPreSiGe mt cence nec areca core es Bree ae eee EINE Soe Ne Pc Lawrence Sanderson SOCre LAI Y ose ce eran comes eee end = See eee ee cn ee ee) On REE en Se ne Doris Thede TTRCASURGT see eee ee Sent Bene ere meee ene ee Se nde eee ee Wayne Wood BAS EB ESO) oe ee SPO er SS ee ee eee Mr. H. L. Rowe The Block “M”’ Society is one of the oldest organizations in the high school. The wearers of the Block ‘“M” are indeed popular people as the emblem stands for service to the school as well as considerable athletic ability. At a recent meeting of the society it was decided to form a con- stitution and make definite rules about admitting new members. This step was taken because of the honor attached to membership and the necessity of being sure that all the members had filled the re- quirements before being recognized as such. A committee which worked on the new constitution Was composed of the following stu- dents: Clarence Miles, chairman, with Margaret Dennis and Louis Nouque assisting him in the work. Besides the block M’s” which are worn usually on sweaters the society decided upon another emblem which is to be made up into silver belt buckles. The name “Madera” is to be in a half circle across the top of the buckle, the letters being raised and filled in with purple. In the center is to be a large block ““M,” also in purple. At the base in the right hand corner is to be the date of graduation, in the left hand corner is to be the emblem of the sport in which the letter was achieved and in the center is to be the name of the student to whom the buckle belongs. With the objective in view of building up the accident fund the Block ‘ M”’ members sold “hot dogs” at the Madera-Merced football game and cleared over forty dollars. As in past years when a student was injured on the athletic fields the society helped to pay a part of the hospital bills, so this year the money was given to one of the boys who was hurt in a practice game early in the season. The Block “M” members are not only interested in sports but take an active part in the social doings of the school. When the final decision was made to hive dances for the entire student body instead of small informal organization parties the Block ““M” Society took it upon themselves to put the first dance across and the football party was the result. Although the decoration committee was composed entirely of boys, the decorations, which consisted in the main part of silhouettes and the purple and white blankets were unusually attractive. The party was a huge success. NAcion mesiwen7 D ee ane eel A eae ea ae ieee lr IA Rs ee ieee Ao) LIBRARIANS The library in Madera High School is one our students should be proud of. It is well equipped with long study tables, all kinds of books that students are likely to need in reference work, and many magazines and newspapers. The library is in charge of pupil librarians under the supervision of Mrs. Murphy. The librarians keep order in the library, check out books, mend torn books, and help students find reference work. It is a great advantage to have a well- equipped library in the school, for many of the students who live in the country would be unable to visit the county library when outside work is required. Students are fined ten cents a period for over-due books. The money collected in this manner goes into the general library fund for the purchasing of new books, magazines, and equip- ment. The librarians take charge of the library before school, and during every period of the day. It is interesting work. Five credits are received for a year’s course. The librarians must know how to catalogue, number, file, and repair books. ‘They must also be able to answer questions about books, magazines, and newspapers. The library is used as a senior and junior study hall. The lower classmen may come to the library with ne from other study halls, when they have reference work to do. ZUR PLEWAICe pee ye CAFETERIA Madera High is proud of her clean, attractive Cafeteria. Every noon appetizing lunches are served to the students by the girls under the direction of Miss Metzler. Besides the daily lunches in_ the Cafeteria, the girls have several banquets and luncheons to their credit. They prepared and helped serve the Alumni Banquet held in December. It was a delicious dinner, very attractively served. The Cafeteria Girls prepared and served the Football Banquet which was given by Mr. Taylor. They also prepared the refresh- ments served at the Mothers’ Tea. Other affairs which they took charge of were the Trustees’ Banquet, Spanish Teachers’ Luncheon, and the Lions and Rotary Club Luncheon given during Educational Week, the walls of the Cafeteria being decorated with the exhibit of work of the high school students on the occasion of the club luncheon. The members of the Cafeteria classes during the past year were: Mary Garabedian, Minnie Flum, Vera Justice, Winnie Desmond, Dor- othy Woodson, Hazel Snell, Mene Wilson, Emma Lou Young, Emogene Parsons, Dorothy Lasswell, Bill Madden, Martha Sledge, Dorothy Reasonover, Ann Putica, Thelma Loges, Mildred Sandell, Lorene Litt, Amy Turner, Jean Ricci, lola Copus, Delicissa Masasso, and Dorothy Crawford.

These girls not only learn to prepare meals but make use of their know ledge by serving luncheons, banquets, and teas. Among the larger affairs which the girls have cooked for are: The football banquet at which time Mr. Taylor entertained the mem- bers of the squad and the men teachers, the alumni banquet which is an annual affair and takes place every year just before Christmas, the luncheon which was served to the home-economics teachers during their convention which was held this year at the Madera High School and the Rotary and Lions luncheon which was served during educa- tion week, They also assisted at the Parent-Teacher Association’s and Mothers’ teas, the elementary school teachers’ party and the high school faculty party, the debators’ luncheon and numerous other affairs. The girls are always willing to work when called upon, and on several occasions have been excused from class work to help at their own homes with luncheons and teas. Pretty crepe paper caps and aprons to match with the color scheme of the various parties, have been worn this year by the girls when serving. As part of the preparations for the various affairs they have had to work out the design for and make the caps and aprons and nut cups and have assisted with the decorations. In the third and fourth period classes we find the advanced group of chefs. In this class the girls take up the study of every day foods and the preparing and serving of luncheons and dinners, etc., and one of their problems is to prepare a dinner and serve their parents as their guests. The fifth and sixth period classes are the beginning group of girls They take up the elementary study of foods, selection, preparation and the serving of breakfasts. Both classes study food values, caloric values of foods, nutrition and some dietetics. On March 11, Nello Barsotti invited the girls of the cooking classes to visit the Madera Baking Company and see how breads and other bakery products are made on the large scale. The girls were impressed by the visit and found it hard to realize that flour, etc., could be measured out by the sack. On returning they remarked upon the speed and cleanliness with which the foods were prepared. ZV MADERA CHAPTER OF FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA “The Future Farmers of America” has been established in Ma- dera High School to take the place of the similar organization which has been known as the “Junior Aggies.” The “Aggies” have felt that by affiliating with an organization of nation-wide scope, there will be an additional incentive to do better work than they have done in the past, and that greater dignity will be attached to the work as a result of the co-operation with thousands of other boys throughout the United States. About one hundred boys in this state where agricul- ture is taught have obtained membership in the organization, while the Madera chapter has forty names on the chapter roll. There are four grades of membership based upon achievement, each grade being considerably harder to obtain than the one which went before it. These grades are: (1) Green Hand, (2) Junior Farmers, (3) California Farmers, (4) American Farmers. Membership may be: Active, that is, those who are now en- rolled in agriculture’s associate, any former student of vocational agriculture who is elected to membership; and associate, which in- cludes instructors, school principals, superintendents, business men, and others who are helping to promote vocational agriculture. The Madera Chapter is sponsored by B. J. McMahon. PURPLE In =o DEBATING Victory again for Madera High’s orators. Under the skillful guidance of I, C. Thompson, the debating team has annexed the championship for another year. In the first section of the league, such schools as Clovis, Sanger, and Parlier fell before the Maderans, whose ability to deliver in a pinch won them many a close decision. Madera’s clean sweep of six victories gave them the right to enter the semi-finals with Central, Kingsburg, and Coalinga. Again Madera won this time to enter the finals against Coalinga. On April 23, Madera’s negative team, Arthur Manasse and Frank Bergon, won from Coalinga’s team by four points. Madera’s affirma- tive team, Jim Page and Frank DeChaine, lost by one point to the Oilers, Madera winning the championship again. Much credit is due Mr. Thompson for his work and achievements as a debating coach. He has entered teams in the league for the past two years, winning the championship both years. In this time Ma- dera has contested in twenty debates and has won nineteen of them, a record of which few other high schools can boast. Three debaters will be lost through graduation—Jim Page, Frank Bergon, and Frank DeChaine. PURPLEMW Al Ce BN CROEZAN DiS DIF The Crop and Saddle Club, under the supervision of Miss Lois Merwin, has had a very enjoyable and successful year. The club meets on Saturday mornings for long rides into the country. ‘The treasure hunt held in the fall was a main feature of the past vear. On the wall of the gym, which was the starting point. the girls found the first clue, a cleverly worded verse which told where to find the next clue, and so eventually be lead to the hiding place of the treasure. When the last clue was found, it directed the girls to a group of shade trees about a mile away. Everyone raced madly to the designated spot and found a delicious picnic lunch awaiting them. After several hours of hard riding the girls were hungry, and made short work of the sandwiches, soolaics, and ice cold punch. The Treasure Hunt will long be remembered by all those ane took part in it. Points toward letters may be won in the club. For each organ- ized ride the girls receive five points, and additional points for other feats of horsemanship The girls who took part in the activities of the past year were Dorothy Reasonover, Jane Hughes, Betty Dearborn, Emma Lou Young, Helen Barnett, Martha Fletcher, Margaret Dennis, lola Ham- ilton, Dorothy Woodson, Blanche W alsh, and Martha Sledge, CAIVP SERIE, Gillies There are two groups of Camp Fire girls in Madera High School. They are the Canotas led by Miss Josephson, and the Indawendiwin group with Miss Jardine as guardian. The Indawendiwin group held a party at the home of Emogene Parsons, and initiated the new girls. Other parties have been held at the homes of various members and have always been enjoyed. A hike, held in March, was great fun. A Council Fire was held in March, also, and many of the girls received ranks and honors. In the early part of April, the Camp Fire girls took charge of the ticket selling for the Women’s Inprovement Club benefit given on April 12, and featuring Captain Jones, the magician. By doing this, the girls lived up to the Camp Fire law of “Give Service.” On Friday, April 19, several of the girls helped serve punch at the dance given by the Women’s Improvement Club. The girls dressed in their pretty aprons and caps of pastel colors, looked attractive among the green leafy decoration. On April 13, the Indawendiwin girls sold home made candy at Petty’s grocery. The profits made from this sale will go toward the summer camp the girls are planning for this summer. AWK MADERAN, FIRST SEMESTE! The first semester journalism staff was a very outstanding one. Their editor, Frank Bergon, carried on his work very well, writing a clever column, ‘“Editor’s Ink,” for each number of the Maderan. This staff published nine papers of which there were many special numbers. They gave us a six page Christmas edition, an orange Hallowe'en, a special Aggie, a yellow butter number with a political supplement, containing Coe Swift’s essay which won first place in the district con- test, and the Freshman edition of this semester. ‘This is certainly a fine record. The literary supplement of the Christmas number was of such a high order that both the Madera Daily ‘Tribune and the Fresno Morn- ing Republican, paid it the compliment of quoting Don Hubbard's sonnet, “On Christmas” and Valerie E'sche’s story, ““Mammy’s Christ- The class sent three representatives to the convention at Stanford University. Those who went were Marquita Goodnight, assistant editor; Betty Clark, assistant business manager, and Girar Avakian, cartoonist—Girar gave a very interesting talk about the making oi linoleum cartoons. PURP LEMMA Cle Fo MADERAN, SECOND SEMESTER The Maderan made an unusual record during the second semester. In the first place, the size of the class made it necessary to make two divisions of about twenty pupils in each. There were ten editions of the Maderan promised, and with the aid of Miss Macon’s dramatics class play, fifteen editions were publish- ed, three of them being six-page papers. Emphasis was given to the good work of different departments. One paper gave prominence to the debators who proved very worthy of the praise given them. Another interesting paper was the edition featuring agriculture. Our agricultural students have been doing some very nice work, and the subscribers to the Maderan were inter- ested in knowing how the boys have progressed. Two important factors adding to the quality of the paper we re the business managers, who got fifty-three advertisements; and the interest taken by students outside of the journalism class. A poem, “Spring Song of California,” in the Spring edition of the paper, composed by Aileen Harder was set to music and sung at the high school entertainment, April 25. Must more be said of this class to give its unusual features? Fea Se TET (a TEE SCHOOL Van AR On September 10th, a joyous rush of students flooded upon the campus. There were hilarious greetings, and Madera High opened with the largest enrollment in the history of the school. Thus the school year of 1928-1929 was formally launched. A few weeks after the opening the Freshmen and Sophomores had their an- nual tug-of-war. It was held on Sixth Street, near the Music building where a pond had been prepared by the upper class- men. The struggle, which lasted fifteen minutes, ended by the Sophs dragging the Freshmen through the mire. None of the losers escaped the pond as upper classmen Freshmen Day were near at hand to see that each and everyone of them got a ducking. The Freshmen reception which was held in the Gymnasium completed the welcome to the incoming class. After the first Student Body drive the Senior class boasted of having every member of the class a proud possessor of a Student Body ticket. Eighty per cent of the entire students in the school purchased tickets at this time. [our hundred seventy dollars were collected by the end of the drive. “Nancy Ann,” the Junior class play was presented on the evening of Novem- ber 16th before a large audience. The play was successful in every way. The members of the cast acted their parts to perfection. The Alumni were welcomed back to the folds of Madera High School at the annual Alumni banquet in December. The Seniors had charge of the banquet. The decorations were carried out in the Christmas colors. Mr. David P. Barcroft was the toastmaster of the occasion. In the January extemporaneous speaking contests, Charles Hebern won the honors with his talk on “Smiles.” Charles Hebern PUNK Le Wall Cle Terr fy Tlene Wilson took second place, speaking on ‘Winter Sports.” Mildred Ellis was chairman of the contest. She gave a short talk on the his- tory of the Lions Club cup.

(he Kelloge Peacedeact = Clayton Clawson, “Star Gazing: On Thursday evening, February 14th, the Faculty members for got their dignity for a little while and presented a mystery comedy, “The Rear Car.” There were roars of laughter and screams of fear. The chief fun maker was L. C. Thompson, who took the part of Sheri- den Godfrey Scott. He seemed to have a supermind, a mind so keen that nothing escaped his notice. ‘The Seniors took charge of the ticket selling. The student council spon- sored the May Day dance. It was held in the Cafeteria and, true to May Day festivities, a king and queen were chosen to rule during the evening. Clar- ence Miles was crowned king and Emma Lou Young ruled as queen. The evening was started off by a grand march and there were a number of special dances. We must say a word abc ce a as about the record made by our Aggies, both at the annual judging con- tests held at Davis in April and at the contest held at San Luis Obispo in May. At Davis Madera placed fifth out of the sixty-six high schools which took part in the judging. There were two hundred twenty-six teams and six hundred seventy-six students taking part. The contest at Davis is the largest of its kind west of Chicago. The poultry team won second place, bringing home a silver cup. At San Luis Obispo Madera won the tree contest bringing home the State Championship. From the six districts of the state the eighteen highest teams were chosen to compete against one another, the three highest from each district, so our boys had to work hard for their mA victory. The tree judging team, composed of Frank Bergon, John Wall, Elbert W fen and Walter Pfister, the alternate, made an especially fine record and brought home a silver loving cup. Frank Bergon was high man of the entire meet. The Farm Mechanics team placed tenth in the state finals at San Luis Obispo. This team was composed of Lloyd Agajanian, Eugene Root, Bernard Schroeder, and Paul Pence, alternate. One of the outstanding social events of the spring term was the Mothers’ tea, given by the Senior girls. Yellow and white roses composed the chief note in the decorating scheme. ‘The purpose of the tea was to discuss clothes which were to be worn by the Senior girls at gradu- ation and at all the events of Senior week. All the mothers were urged to be con- servative and to keep simplicity and ap- propriateness to the occasion in view, when selecting the dresses. Educational week was celebrated at the high school with an ex- hibit and reception in the Cafeteria and a program in the auditorium, also the Lions and Rotary Clubs were entertained at luncheon by the Domestic Science classes. The exhibit was composed of representa- tive work from all the departments of the school and was well worth while. ‘he Band and Dramatics classes entertained in the auditorium. The Seniors especially will remember April 19th at which time they enjoyed a very pleasant trip to Coarse Gold. Freak Day! It was a scream. The high and mighty Seniors for one whole day behaved in a manner that far sur- passed the pranks of the Freshmen. Cow- boys, tramps, lumberjacks, and old- fashioned ladies roamed about the campus. Never before had this high school seen such a varied collection of freaks. A flag essay contest was held during the months of April and May, in connec- tion with a national contest. The judges picked the five best essays which were given before an assembly of the Student Body. These essays were written by Eleanor Walker, Viola Markle, Eloise Ryan, Frank Bergon and Daniel Hebern. Eloise Ryan and Daniel Hebern won. Essay Winncrs PUIR IZ Le WY In ie Freak Day AS DREAN, THAT CANE, TRUE (Reading time, two minutes) ry . . - . . lhe earnest young man looked at the big executive of the air line with something like despair in his glance. He used his last resource. “Mr. Ferris, you do not think much of the possibilities of the auto- giro now, but neither did you think the airplane itself would develop to its present stage when you saw the new Seca twenty years ago.’ Mr. Ferris held up his hand with a surprised expression on his face. “Let me think a few moments.” xk x x By George, the young fellow was right. Twenty years ago was in 1909. At that time the airplane was a reliable sensation, with models the chief attraction at fairs. A flight was planned for weeks and even months in advance, and the least mishap caused indefinite postponements. What a thrill when Captain Rogers completed his cross country flight at San Francisco in 1911! Then congress recog- nized aviation as worthy of time and expense by creating an aviation section of the Signal Corps. ‘Phen came the war with its old unreliable jennies that he’d risked his neck in many a time over in France. Just before the end of the war came something that was the forerunner of his own line, the regular air mail-service between New York City and Washington, D. C., followed by the transcontinental air mail and passenger service. ‘Then planes lost a wing sometimes and gained a motor or two, and amphibians came into use on water. ‘Twenty years ago such developments were in only the wildest fancy, never believed possible. And now this autogiro thing came along, no wings to speak of, a windmill contraption on top. About all that was left was the body, the propeller, the rudder, and the rather wide undercarriage. But the autogiro—funny name—could land on a large roof, coming down at fifteen miles an hour. Still the thing could travel at a speed over one hundred miles an hour.

Good afternoon.” “Good afternoon, sir.” —Elizabeth Richardson LOXLA THORNTON (Reading time, one minute and thirty seconds) With both arms cut off, facing permanent disablement, a burden to his friends and relatives, eae Thornton took up flying as a life ambition. He is to me an admirable char acter, a product of our own fair valley and, better than that, a native of Fresno, only twenty-two miles away. Hence, it has been my pleasure to see Loxla Thornton in the air. He flies his own plane with as steady a balance as those who are more fortunate to be gifted with the use of their hands, While watching an airship doing stunts one day above Fresno, | was astounded to see the ship go into a “‘stall,” the engine coughing horribly. Then just as the airship was losing keel, it righted with a quickly applied left rudder, and falling rapidly nose first, it neared the ground where I was standing. Trightened, | knew not where to turn. I stood and watched the airplane’s wr igeling, snake-like descent. Sing- ing struts, whirling props, and taut controls, none were more taut, more strained, than my feeling of hopelessness for my life, thinking nothing of that daring pilot in my last few seconds before the crash. The pilot’ s thoughts were all for me. His own danger bothered him not at all. Sticking to the controls, he finally brought the nose of the plane up above the horizon, cut the juice and pancaked down upon the tarmac. The grease-monkeys ran to where the pilot sat in his plane. Laughing “and jesting about his porpoise ne only seeing the last second of action, they were laughing at his carelessness. They were entirely taken back, however, when they saw the pilot’ s arm dangling from the cockpit. He had flown a ship, when his “hook” at fifteen hundred feet had come apart from his ‘‘arm,” and had piloted it with a daring and bravery that many a man with two good arms would not have been able to do and live to tell of it. —Lawrence Sanderson. PURI Le Ir Tr i—� THE SPIRIT OF MADERA (Reading time, four minutes) ScENE I. Lanpine FrieLtp, MapgEra HicH The “Spirit of Madera’? was humming and purring on the new landing field at Madera High. A new great flight record was soon to be attempted, and another record was sought in annual sales for the Purple and White. ‘The objective was to fly to Mars by the shortest and most direct route in the quickest time possible, making a stopover long enough to sell a million copies of the Purple and White to the inhabitants of Mars. The whole student body, alumni, and great numbers of town folks were gathered on the field to see the take off. It was a wonderful spectacle. ‘he lone one-winged monoplane, eager to be off, stood out on the green turf with the sun sparkling on its silver body. The flight would soon be on. Captain Barager, the pilot of the plane, and Major Bud Sanderson were having their pictures taken. Captain Barager 1s one of the world’s greatest pilots. He has flown to both the Arctic and Antarctic. He has also piloted the class of 1929 to a very successful year. Major Bud Sanderson is one of the world’s greatest business managers, who is now business manager for the Purple and White staff. IXverything was ready. Captain Barager and Bud climbed in the rear cock- pit. The blocks were pulled from the wheels, and then “zoom,” the silver monoplane raced down the green landing field with such speed and forcefulness that would make one think that it knew it had a mission to perform. Then, up in the clouds until only a streak was seen and its motors were heard roaring high up in the sky. Iveryone was praying tor a quick flight and a safe return. Such a fight had never before been attempted. “Could they win?” “They must.” Such were the thoughts and hopes of those who had seen the start of this miraculous flight. The whole town and country were aroused over the flight. ScENE II. PrLanet oF Mars The inhabitants of Mars had just completed a successful revo- lution, and having taken their king from the throne were about to kill him. Just at that moment a great white bird came down from the sky. Everyone ran except the chief who was tied to the ground. Down came the bird, it swerved, but not in time. It hit the chief who was crushed by the giant ship from the skies. The natives of Mars ran in great numbers to the ae and bowed down to worship PURI LENWIAl Cle =f 9 it. Captain Barager and Major Sanderson jumped from their cock-pits and rushed to the dying chief. They saw nothing could be done so they went back to the crowd to make remunerations, and soon became aware of the fact that the natives looked upon them as gods from the sky. The crowd was yelling at the top of their voices, “Yamm, Yamm,’” which means, “King, King.’ Barager whispered to Sanderson, “Listen, I will be King and you will be my prime min- ister, and it won’t be long now until we have sold our million copies of the Purple and White.” King Barager took the oath of office and organized a government under the direction of Minister Sanderson. ‘They formed a staff of salesmen who went to all parts of Mars selling the annual. It was not long before the coveted million copies had been sold. One day while King Barager was sitting in the court tower, he noticed an army approz ching. It resembled very much the army that he had seen from the air on the day of his arrival. Yes, as it came closer he could see that it was a revolutionary army coming to over- throw him. No time must be lost. He found Bud, and taking their million dollars, rushed to the plane. After tuning the motors they sped off. Up and up in the air they climbed, circling over the army, which immediately fell into a chaos. Pointing the nose of the “Spirit of Madera” homeward they pressed the motors to their maximum speed. They gave one glance back to the planet, which they saw for the last time. ScENE III. Lanpine Frerp, MapEra Hic A great aviation fete was in progress at the landing field, “Ma- dera High.” Planes had come from all parts of the country to take part in the event. Crowds had gathered from all over the valley. The best stunt flyers were doing hair raising stunts which were thrilling the spectators. Over the horizon a silver colore | monoplane was seen. Could it be the one that disappeared from the same field about three months ago? The people watched in amazement. Yes, those who had seen the start felt sure that this was the same plane that had winged off to a destination never before reached by man. The plane zoomed down on the green landing field. Out jumped Captain Barager and Major Sanderson. They were swept off their feet by the crowd. What a climax this was to the greatest aviation feat in history. Pictures were taken of the plane and aviators, which were soon to be rushed to every paper in the country. The Madera High School Band accompanied the aviators to the auditorium of the high school, where amid great applause they told of VIRPLE MACE —={A(0)-—— their great flight. Never before in history had such a feat been ac- complished. Another record had also been made through this great flight. Due to the fact that Major Sanderson had brought home a million dol- lars from sales made in Mars the best Purple and White in the history of Madera High was published by the Class of 1929. By IN ANI The editor, waking up, realized he must have fallen asleep over annual copy, and the trip to Mars had been only a dream. —Coe Swift. Ee Y ING IN TEE BUROR (Reading time, two minutes) Never before in history has the public accepted inevit able peril. Never before in history has natural principle so completely blocked scientific progress. Flying certainly would seem to be a dead-end street. It is fascinating to speculate on what would be the outcome. The first and pleasantest thing that could happen would be for some genius to discover or devise a means to thwart gravity or else to make a fool-proof engine. A plane that wouldn’t fall or an engine that would positively never stop, would change the whole aspect of flying. But there is not the slightest indication that we are close to any new or radical discovery in either direction. A thousand years of casual interest and two hundred years of acute research in physics, indicates that both solutions are as far away as ever. What then? Probably we are going to do something we, as a race, have never done before. We are going to accept flying with all risks. We may never be able to say as we do with our automobile, ‘ i iikeeprciear on others and don’t go too fast nothing can happen to me.” We shall know at every flight that a crash is possible. But we shall also know that risks have been reduced to a minimum. And we shall accept what hazard is left because it will have become a mental habit to do so. In other words an air-mindedness will make us fatalists as flyers. Material developments, barring some spectacular discovery as yet quite unhinted, will be along definite lines. It is easy to see that there will be more airplanes now that the public is aroused; more planes will mean cheaper ones run with less expenditure. —Roy Long. PURPLE nil Ce THE AIRPLANE OF THE FUTURE (Reading time, two minutes) Dear Bob: How is everything over in Australia? I am glad to hear that you are making progress in aviation over there. You surely ought to see my new plane, it certainly isa wonder. My plane is the very latest type machine that will run without gasoline. It gains its power from the millions of electrons that are in the air. The most wonderful thing about this new plane is the appliance by which it may be run by radio, The other day I had some passengers who wanted to eo to New York, and not having time to take them myself, | controlled the plane by radio. The passengers were not aware of the fact that they had no aviator, and you may imagine their surprise when they found it out. I don’t see what they want to have speed laws for. The speed limit is four hundred miles per hour, and my plane will make at least five hundred. I can hardly wait for summer to come for I will get a week of vacation this year and I will drop over and see you. While | am there we will take a little spin to the south pole. hat is one place T have always wanted to visit. Can you imagine a person of this day not having seen the south pole? The next time you come to see me | am going to take you through our big museum. The old model airplanes they have there are very interesting and funny looking. The plane that interested me most was-the “Spirit of St. Louis.” This is the famous plane in which Charles Lindbergh flew from New York te Paris in thirty-three hours. That certainly must have been a great feat then, although we do not think anything of making the same trip in eight hours. Those old planes that were run by gasoline must have been a big nuisance. Just think, whenever you ran out of fuel you had to land and fill your tanks again. I guess I will have to close for this time, for I must run down to Mexico yet this afternoon with some passengers, Yours sincerely, Charles McDonell. qNIGHE, IME IS Ol INI OS: (CAN TE (Reading time, two minutes) Back to my own alley at last!

My pilot gave me some meat and dry bread, but the only thing I wanted was to get to terra firma where ever that might be. And so to bed. —Margaret Chamberlin. THEY GAVE THE WORLD WINGS (Reading time, two minutes) How to fly puzzled two brothers in Dayton, Ohio, in 1896. Wilbur and Orville Wright bought all the books on aviation they could find. Their small library on aviation soon included all the works of the pioneers of aviation. They thought it would be great sport to glide through the air. But they were soon experimenting flying with force. They became so interested in flying that they gave up a prosper- ous bicycle business to study it. They built kites of all shapes and sizes. ‘Then they built gliders and flew them like kites. They got their first idea from a toy their father had bought for them. It was run by rubber band power. In 1899 they thought it was time to experiment with real gliders. The winds in Dayton were not suitable for-gliding. They wrote to the Weather Bureau at Washington asking for a hilly place with mild winds. ‘This place was Kitty Hawk in North Carolina, The first real glider they designed was a biplane with a wing span of eighteen feet long and five feet wide. In July the things were packed and shipped to Kitty Hawk. Waulbur went ahead of his brother. The first thing he did was to take a stroll and see what the place was “TL “4 like. During the time he waited for Orville, Wilbur unpacked the glider and studied sea gulls and other birds there. For three years they worked. They studied everything they could find. And also experimented with gliders at Kitty Hawk. ‘They then had constructed a machine with a motor. Then on the morning of December 14, 1902, with the help of some life guards they pushed the machine to the top of the hill. After running about forty feet it went up. But it was allowed to turn up too much. It climbed a few feet and stalled and settled to the ground at the foot of the hill. On December 17, Orville, in the face of a strong wind, took his place at the controls. It lifted from the ground and came to earth one hun- dred and twenty feet from where it arose. ‘he flight lasted only twelve seconds, but it was the first flight by power ever made in the history of the world. The Wrights kept on with their experimenting. In 1908 Wilbur made a flight at Kitty Hawk with the first passenger ever carried in a plane, which was only a little over twenty years ago. —Raymond McKinley. THE BEIGHT OF THE QUESTION MARK “All right, my boys, pull out the chucks,” Major Spatz sang out to his men. The mechanics at once hauled away the blocks And prayed God speed to send. Thus took off the Question Mark. Then on tireless wings she flew, As five game men held her aloft And battled winds that blew. One feat alone surpasses this In record books of fame, It is Elijah’s famous flight In chariot of flame. —Marion McCulley. YRPLEWAICE ll AVAKIAT a GIRAR gor dee ——- wa ps Ss . ae O96 6 ey « CmOnIe) SENIOR PEAY “The Whole ‘lown’s Talking” is the name of the play of the Senior class of 1929, and it was a great success for its hilarious situations and splendid acting. ‘The action of the three acts takes place in the living room of the Simmons’ house in Sandusky, Ohio. Mr. Simmons desires to marry his daughter to the junior member of the firm, Mr. Binney, which does not suit the daughter at all. To make his junior partner desirable, Mr. Simmons chooses to have Mr. Binney engaged in an affair with a woman who proves to be a moving picture star. When the girls of the town learn of Mr. Binney’s af- fair, they, including the daughter, fall in love with him. But in the midst of his glory, the moving picture star, on a personal tour, appears in town accompanied by her husband, who is a prize fighter. The ensuing complications lead up to a rousing fight in the end. The cast is as follows: Mrs. Simmons, Martha Fletcher , Ethel Simmons, Eleanor Scribner; Letty Lythe, Vivian Lyman; Lila Wilson, Ilene Wilson; Sally Otis, Betty Smith; Sadie Bloom, Dorothy Craw- ford: Annie, Genevieve McKinley; Mrs. Jackson, Vera Justice; Henry Simmons, Frank Bergon; Chester Binney, Charles Hebern; Donald Swift, Frank DeChaine; Roger Shields, Jim Page; Taxi Driver, Dan Milinovich. PURPLEW ACE 57s JUNIOR PLAY November 16th proved to be a gala day for the Junior class be- cause of the success of “Nancy Ann,” the class play. Lois Randall was to have been the leading lady and practiced faithfully until about ten days before the play, when she was taken ill with scarlet fever. Henrietta Muller, who previously had been taking the part of a flapper chorus girl was switched into the part and in spite of the short time she had to prepare acted exceedingly well. She took the role of Nancy Ann. Sidney Brian, a theatrical producer, was taken by Doyle Haney. Doyle proved his ability to act and in the end his ability to pick actors. Wilson Grace as Denny, Sidney’s publicity manager, provided the audience with laughter throughout the play. Co-starring with Denny was the detective Jerry, acted by Robert Shuman. Jerry certainly knew the art of the third degree. Nancy Ann’s four fond aunts were Elsie Gatti, Nellie Garland, Marquita Goodnight, and Aileen Butler. Each one had her own ideas as to how her niece should be raised. Hazel Bush, Margaret Dennis, and Emma Lou Young took the parts of the chorus girls. Levin Sledge took the role of the disappointed playwright, while Raynor Parks was the negro butler. Valerie E’'sche was the reporter. [=a fy aur DANI NITCS CRASS Our Dramatics class has not only proved what excellent actors and actresses it has in its midst, but also how helpful its members could be, when the Journalism class was running out of funds. At this time, several of the members of the class presented Booth ‘Tark- ington’s play, the “Travelers.” This mystery comedy provided en- tertainment for one activity period for the student body, and also for the parents who attended the exhibit in March. Those who were in the cast of the play were as follows: Keith Emmert, La Sera, a courier; Roy Long, a chauffeur; Wilson Grace, Mr. Roberts, an American tourist; Nellie Garland, his wife: Henrietta Muller, oe daughter; Dan Milinovich, Luigi; Paul Smallie and Mary Jane Sez bury, servants; John Allred, man in the doorway ; Trena Bic Mrs. Slidell, and Levin Sledge, Freddie Slidell. The story of the play interested the audience, for it was different from anything that has been presented here before. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts and their daughter, Jessie, were traveling in Sicily, and the scene takes place in their room in a small, out-of- thesway inn, owned by a native. The landlord, who could speak little English, managed to make it clear to his guests that Sicily is inhabited by a great number of dangerous bandits. Of course this is sufficient to at least make the tourists uncomfortable. However, after having the lights go out and several other frights, the family decided to retire and wait for further developments. While all of this excitement is going on, Jessie insists that if her lover, Freddie Slidell, were there, they would be perfectly safe. After several crashes and other alarming sounds coming from the adjoining room, the cry of a woman is heard, and soon Mrs, Slidell and Freddie come bursting into the room. Jessie feels that she is safe at last. The lights were manipulated by Isabelle Boyle, the props by Mary Jane Seabury, the noises by Mary Van Curen, and B 3etty Clark acted as the prompter. Miss Stoddard and the Journalism class appreciated this little favor immensely, for it not only permitted them to issue a greater number of Maderans, but also several six-page editions, and as we all know, this is always a treat. In class, the dramatic students have been reading various plays, and even trying their own skill at play writing. Up to the present time, we have not had the pleasure of seeing any of these works of art produced, but we are still living in hopes. PUK MY CHOICE Byrd had a Ford Plane, In it he took a stroll. The next thing that Byrd knew, He’d hopped to the old North Pole. Spatz, he chose a Fokker To do his flying high. He stayed aloft a week, While the long hours glided by. “Well,” Lindy said, “a flying plane With an A-1 motor for me!” And so he hopped into his crate And jumped off to Gay Paree. While all these birds are choosing theirs, Vl firmly pick out mine And park myself on this old earth, No flights save those of rhyme! —Marion McCulley.

PURPLE All Ce 05am BAND During the past year it has become a familiar sight to see the boys and girls in their uniforms of purple and white at the gather- ings and celebrations in and about Madera. Always ready to assist at any occasion at which they may be called upon to play the band has afforded considerable pleasure not only to the high school students, but also to the community. The members of the band and the instruments which they play are as follows: cornets, Mayburn Davenport, Bill Barsotti, Richard Rue, Harry Allred, Donald Pitman, Raymond Miles, Orval Hannah, and James Pierpoint; clarinets, Silvio Biancalana, fenton Dean, Ro- bert Dearbor n,and Merle Jennings; baritone, Racie Dean and Clarence Jacobson; bass, Harrison ‘Pence; saxaphone, Gordon Leyh, Vera Jus- tice, Billy James, Arthur Manasse, Walter Brown, Levin Sledge, and Leonard Peterson; flute, Anna Meek; alto, Herman Leming; slide trombone, James Austin. The band is directed by Henry Kleemeyer. The most important musical event of the high school this year was the spring concert in which the four musical organizations of the school took part. ‘The concert was held in the high school auditorium and was enjoyed by quite a large number of parents and townspet � ple. The selections played by the band were: “El Capitan,” by Sousa; “The Iron Count,” by King; and “Sullivan's Operatic Gems,” which were selections from the “Mikado,” “Pinafore,” “Pirates of Penzance,” “Gondoliers,” etc., and “Invercargill,” a march by Lithgow. In the Fresno County Musical contest which was held at Kerman, the Madera band lost to Coalinga by two points. The Maderans made a total of seventy-eight points out of the possible one hundred points. Mr. Kleemeyer felt the band made a good showing although they un- fortunately were unable to bring home the cup. In November our band members were very fortunate in being able to hear Sousa’s band. Mr, Kleemeyer driving one of the high school busses, took several students with him to eae the concert. Some of the other occasions where the band played were: ‘The Chowchilla high school, a Dixieland farm bureau meeting, the educa- tional week program at the Madera high school, the electrolier cele- bration, the Madera-Merced County fair at Chowchilla, the Dairy- men’s picnic and last but not least the Raisin Day Festival at Fresno, at which time the band played and marched in the parade. The band members feel especially grateful to Mr. Jay for his in- terest and assistance during the vear. YURI TE IRS rE nGE Two brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, Made a plane that was sure a sight.

Led by their fighting Captain “‘Pea- nuts” Olivas, they had a chance to perform at home, and Oh boy, what a game it was. Many perfect passes were made at the right time. Madera, 14; Dos Palos, 9. The quintet showed their usual form of winning. They were now headed strong for the bi-county pennant. Madera, 34; Merced, 14. This game proved to be a knock-out, and the boys had won the tilt that they were after. The boys who made letters in this sport were: Nevio Olivas, Woodrow Snowden, Johnny Brunetti, Joe Turner, Tony Stefan, Donald McNally, and Chris Kufis. PURPLE WH —103— Bye SNe eNIL IL, With the advantage of having a team of veterans left over from last year, the Coyotes have developed a team which threatened to be in line for the semi-finals this year. Out of the eleven men there is only one who has not played on some high school team before, this person is Cereghino, and he has had some experience while in grammar school. The eleven men of the team are: Wayne Wood who played second base, Frenchy DeChaine who was catcher, Elbridge Daniels in left field, Mando Ragnetti playing first base, Tony Ste fan who played center field, Kenneth Bennett at right field, Mariscotti who played third base, Daulton as pitcher with Peterson, and Cereghino helping Mariscotti at third base. The practice games proved very promising as well as interesting, for in one occasion the Madera High School team drubbed Columbia team to the amazing score of 13 to 2. Another outstanding practice game was with the Kerman team, for the score at the end of the ninth innings was 13 to 7 in favor of Madera. The game was played on the local diamond and was witnessed by many people. The league race was officially opened when Livingston came to Madera for the first league game. With the score of 4 to 2, the game ended in favor of Livingston. ‘This should have been our easiest vic- tory, but not having had any practice the previous week Madera was TURPLEWHITE =o Left to Right—Ralph Petersen, Pitcher; Joe Stefan, Left Field; Wayne Woods, Second Base; Frank De Chaine, Catcher; Bill Barsotti, Second Base; Turner Daulton, Pitcher unable to break through Livingston's strong support. Madera scored only the last of the Four inning and fhe beginning of the sixth, although Madera had the bases filled four times. In contrast to the former defeat, Madera defeated the Los Banos nine in a ragged game, and the score at the end of the game stood alta lalcomle Following the Los Banos game the high school team played the Le Grand nine in a game that proved very interesting. This was any- body's game up to the last part of the ninth inning when Madera scored the winning run. The score at the ninth inning was 6 up. The team’s next game proved to be a loss. The game was played at Chowchilla on a fast diamond, this being a handicap for Madera. The league games which have been planned as future events for the team are: The Raymond game here, which is to be played off May 3rd. It is expected that this game will be a very interesting and hard fought game, for last year’s score was 4 to 3, in favor of Ray- mond. The Dos Palos game, which will take place on the 9th of May, will also be a game worth while seeing. The Madera team will journey there for the event. The last but not least is the Merced game played at Merced. For the past several years, Merced has been the most im- portant and the strongest school in the Bi-county race, but our team thinks that there is a limit to everything and that they will give Merced a real hard fought baseball game. The teams of Madera High have been very fortunate in being able to use the busses for transportation. This has been brought about through the kindness of Mr. M. C. Taylor. Y Aw LIes )V lal Te r : —10 — RACKS The track team this year, like the last, was a bit unsuccessful in its attempt to win the league pennant. They met with defeat by the same boys who won the pennant last year. Last year, Merced won by a score of 83 to 52% in the A class and 28 to 19, 14 to 11 in the B and C classes respectively. The Bi-County meet was held on the local track on April 5, 1929. Merced took honors in all classes, A, B, and C, with a total of 86 points in class A, and 47 points in classes B and C. Madera tock second in class A with 58 points, and second in classes B and C with 2834 points. The outstanding features of the day was the shattering of the four Bi-County records. Merced class A relay team broke two previous records of 1:37:7, making the distance in 1.37. Paine of Merced ran the 220 low hurdles in 27.6; Sporan of Chowchilla put the 12-pound shot 41 feet, 1 inch, which broke the Bi-County record. The last record was broken by the man who previously held it, Guy of Merced. Guy, of class B broke his own record by pole vaulting 10 feet, 8 inches. Places for Madera were: Gendron placed first and Haney fourth yin the mile; Shuman placed second in the 100 yard dash; Smellie placed second in the 440 yard dash; Daniels placed second in the 220 low � hurdles; Ingersoll placed first in the high jump; Daniels took first in the broad jump with Ingersoll second; Gendron took first in the PYURPLEWHITE —108— Left to Right—Dean Smellie, 440; Robert Shuinan, 100; Elbridge Daniels, Hurdies; George Gendron, Mile; Johnny Brunetti, 75; Roy Long, 220 880 yard run and Stefan took the high jump B, 5 feet, 4% inch; 3runetti took first in broad jump for class C, 16 feet 6% inches. On the seventh day of April, the relay team of the high school was entered in the West Coast Relays held at Fresno, which consisted of Dean Smellie, Robert Shuman, Elbridge Daniels, and Roy Long. A place in the relay meant great honor for those taking part, be- cause they competed with such schools as Merced, Fresno, Bakersfield, Tulare, Visalia, Hanford, and others. Following the West Coast Relays, Coach Rowe sent the track team to a meet at Reedley. The team consisted of all the boys who took part in the Bi-County, who were: Long, Shuman, Smellie, L. Petersen, Crooks, Ellis, Nelson, Hannah, Gendron, R. Haney, Colthar, Basilla, D. Haney, Avakian, McCulley. and Nouque for short runs; Gendron, R. Haney, Colthar, Turner, Basilla, and D. Haney, for the mile; Daniels and Hannah in the high hurdles; Ragnetti, Nouque, D. Haney, Avakian, Del Bono throwing the discus; Daniels and Hannah in the low hurdles; Ragnetti and Gordon putting the shot; Daniels, Ingersoll and Johnson in the pole vault; Ingersoll, Long, Barsotti, McCulley, Colthar, and Avakian in the high jump. The relay team consisted of Shuman, Smellie, Long, Petersen, Daniels, and Ellis. The coach entered two boys in the valley meet held at Bakersfield on the fourth day of May. They were Robert Shuman, who runs the sprints, and Dean Smellie, who runs the 440. If they place in any event, they will be entered in the state meet in the middle part of May. (Editor’s note: At the time of this writing, the meet at Reedley and the Valley Meet were a future program. ) PURPLE RMAC —109— BONS TENNIS The tennis teams of ’29 were very fortunate in having a man at its head like Coach Coe Swift. He has been with the players every day, giving instructions, demonstrations and competition. Through his wonderful management the players had the opportunity of meeting many outside teams, therefrom learning the strength of the plavers that were competing for the Bi-County pennant. The boys’ tennis teams were represented by four trustworthy players who always took victory or defeat with a smile. The Madera High boys’ tennis teams administered a defeat to the strong Fresno High net team in the month of April. Every match was close and exciting. Neither team was sure of victory until the last point had been plaved in the last match. The boys took the singles and doubles. Floyd Fee, singles player on the local team, won a hard fought match from Albert Taylor, Fresno County champion. Floyd won in straight sets, although they were both duce. During the first. set both players were losing their serve frequently, but the last set turned into a serving battle. Both players showed equal skill at the net, with ’ Floyd having a little advantage due to his height. ‘The score of the $two sets was 7-5, 9-7. The boys’ doubles team composed of Turner Daulton and Leslie PURI LEWC —110— Left to Right—Floyd Fee, Singles; Silvio Biancalana, Mixed Doubles; Leslie Petersen, Boys’ Doubles; Clarence Miles, Boys’ Doubles; Turner Daulton, Boys’ Doubies; Coe Swift, Coach Petersen defeated Gregory and Brown, 6-1, 6-4. The team trampled Fresno under in the first set with hot drives and net smashes. The second set turned into a driving battle with Madera a little ahead of the game in the line. Had the team been playing the way they did against Fresno, in the Bi-County, there is no doubt that they would have been Bi-County champions. On the ninth day of March, Chowchilla lost a singles match to Floyd Fee. Floyd’s ea was Sorenson who lost the sets. Daulton and Miles, playing doubles, defeated Vern and Luich after a hard strugele. Playing their best brand of tennis of the year, the teams made a fine showing in the Bi-County meet. The big match of the day was between Floy d Fee, singles player for Madera, and the single player of Dos Palos. The match went to three sets, the latter winning in the final set. The three sets were 4-6, 6-4, 6- 4. Tt was said after the match that there had never been a more beautiful exhibition of tennis in a Bi-County meet. Fee played the best tennis of his career, but could not quite hold the pace set by his opponent. ‘The Madera boys’ doubles team was defeated in the first round by Le Grand, 6-4, 6-3. Turner Daulton and Leslie Petersen made up the team. In the mixed doubles, the team won a default from Livingston, but were defeated in the semi-finals by Merced, 6-4, 7-5. Mary Garabedian and Silvio Biancalana made up the team. This proved to be the most successful and most interesting season that the high school has had for the last several years. PURI Le IP —1l11— GOLF The first interscholastic golf team to represent Madera Union High School was organized in the fall of 1927, under the supervision of K. M. Barager. A small but enthusiastic group of junior golfers went through a season of straight defeats from superior opponents, knowing that from the experience and practice thus gained would come future victories. Although no team matches were won during the first season, several members captured individual matches. Early in the present school year, Coach Barager called for golf candidates and fifteen promising niblick swingers reported to try out for the team later. The first six places were called the team, and no man was sure of his place from one match to the next. In March, 1929, the student council by special vote gave golf recognition as a minor sport and letters are now to be awarded to team members who make six or more points against opponents, or who fulfill other requirements for the letter and are recommended by the coach. Matches have been played against Turlock High School, Fresno State College, and for Madera Golf Club Junior Championship Tourna- ment. Letters have been won this year by E. Gordon, R. Rue, and W. Venturi. None of this year’s team will graduate and prospects are excellent. LVI IPL YI —112— ee = igs Gest THE SPORT YEAR The wonderful spirit of this, the best sport year in the history of Madera High, is attributed to the efforts of Hazel Bush, yell leader. Because of her success dur- ing the fall semester in leading yells and gaining the co-operation of the Student Body she was unanimously elected in February to continue as yell leader the remainder of the year. Once a week while the football and basketball seasons lasted, yell practice was held during part of the noon hour, fol- lowing which there were speeches about the teams and the whole Student Body joined in singing the school sones. “Yea Purple, Yea White,” and Hazel’s favor- 3 ite expression, “Come on Wids,” will long Hazel—Yell Leader be remembered. The spirit of Madera High was at its peak the evening before the Chowchilla game. Noise, torches, shouting, horns and flare s were seen and heard all over town, as an automobile parade wound its way down to the business section. At the corner of D Street the crowd gathered and yells, songs, and speeches were heard. [.ater the crowd came back to the athletic field where a bonfire was touched off and a rally followed. The following day Ma- dera brought home a victory. The next rally was the “Big Game” rally, and what a blowout that was. The biggest serpentine ever held paraded down Yosemite Avenue. Torches lighted the city from one end to the other. People not already up town were soon attract ed by the noise and yells. The serpentine wound its way up to the theatre and circled back to the corner of D and Yo- semite. Merced’s “goat” was in the center of the throng, and what a “Billie” he was. y oe ae huskies to keep him The Gym down. Coach Rowe, C ae Miles, Mr. PURPLE AlCl —113— Taylor and town’s people gave speeches. Yells and songs touched the skies and bounced from one cloud to the other. This was our greatest football rally. The bonfires for the many rallies were prepared by the members of the Block M Society. The school trucks and numerous private trucks were used in the gathering of fallen trees, railroad ties, and rubbish with which to make merry. Madera feels a debt of gratitude to the Block M members for their work. On Class day, June- th, Coe Switt presented a beautiful silver loving cup for the promotion and interest of tennis. Hach year two tournaments will be held, one boys’ tournament and the other a girls’ tournament. They will be on the elimination type. The winners of the two tournaments will have their names engraved on the cup for that year. ‘The play-off will come about a month preceding the Bi-County, to be sponsored by the tennis director of that year. The face of the cup bears the engraving, “Tennis Trophy—Presented By—Coe Swift —To M. U. H. S.—1929.” This year an amendment was passed before the Student Council providing for the award of a sweater to an athlete who has made a letter in four major sports or who has been awarded five major letters. This award is made in appreciation of the work and effort of an all-around athlete, and also to the long length of time that is spent by him on the athletic field. On class day the award was made to Roy Long, Frenchy DeChaine, Elbridge Daniels, Joe Stefan, and Wayne Wood. ‘The sweaters are exceptionally good looking. ‘They are slip-overs and have a large M in the center with a stripe on the sleeve for each major letter the athlete has made. The stripes will be on the left sleeve, just below the shoulder. Sweater Men JIRA TIER Ill C =5pe Tennis Trophy VOI YB ie With the volleyball team made up of nearly all new players, the Madera girls experienced many defeats, but greatly enjoyed the trips back and forth from the games, and the good sportsmanship of their opponents. The season opened only a few weeks after the semester started. The players were as follows: Captain Minnie lum, Mary Van Curen, Doris ‘Mhede, Betty Smith, Dorothy Loges, Dorothy Kline, Margaret Copeland, Dorothy Bryant, Betty Dearborn, Jane Hughes, Lorene tiie Games were played with ‘Tranquillity, Clovis, Washington Union, Le Grand, Fresno Tech, and Dos Palos. This year, instead of going to and from the out-of-town games in private cars, the teams were allowed to go in the busses. In this way the teams “got together” and much fun was had on the journeys, and school spirit was shown by the yells and songs. Interclass volleyball proved quite exciting when the senior purple and white teams tied for first place winning three games apiece. In all the classes seventy-three girls came out. Basketball is the only other sport that brought out more girls than volleyball did, which totaled eighty-five girls in all. PURPLE! —117 — GIRES BASKE iB Aes In spite of the “flu” epidemic which kept a number of the Ma- dera players out of the school part of the basketball season, the teams as a whole worked well and showed excellent spirit. Because of the large number of girls trying out for basketball this year, Miss Merwin was able to form three teams. The first team was composed of the following girls: forwards, Dorothy Loges and Margaret Thompson; running center, Mary Van Curen; jumping center, Doris Thede; ¢cuards, Betty Dearborn and Helen Brown; subs, Viola Schiavini, Vivian Lyman, Dorothy Kline. The second team: forwards, Laverne Leal and Margaret Cope- land; running center, Isabel Boyle; jumping center, Lucia Warburton; guards, Betty Smith and Aileen Butler; sub, Vivian Lyman. The third team: Anna Merle Burns, Henrietta Muller, Elsie Gatti, Jane Hughes, Hazel Snell, and Vivian Johnson, Interscholastic games were played with Dos Palos, Chowchilla, and Le Grand and although the girls failed to bring any victories home their good sportsmanship which was shown at these games is something to be proud of. Interclass games were played with much enthusiasm. ‘The Sophomore “Reds” and Senior “Whites” tied by winning three games each. PURI LER WACE —118— GIRTS BASE BAIL, With good prospects, the girls’ baseball team eagerly started the season with the following line-up: Catcher, Mary Van Curen, alter- nately with Margaret Copeland; pitcher, La Verne Leal;1st base, Helen Brown; 2nd base, Doris Thede; 3rd base, Minnie Flum, alternate- ly with Margaret Thompson ; right short, Margaret Copeland alter- nately with Marquita Goodnight: left short, Ada Sampaulesi; right field, Rose Simonian; center field, Lorene Litt, alternately with Hen- rietta Muller; left field, Dorothy Loges. Games with Livingston, April 9, Los Banos, April 12, and Le Grand, April 19, were played at home. Games with Dos Palos, May 10, and Chowchilla, April 26, were played away from home.

PURI IGE {JO GIRS TEINNIS As was the case in other sports of this year, the girls’ tennis teams, although a hard fighting group of racquet wielders, failed to return with the pennant. This does not indicate that the team is below standard. ‘The girls teams were coached by Coach Coe Swift. The girls’ tennis team administered a defeat to the strong Fresno high net team. The doubles team played true to form, defeating Ferson and Mazenian in a three-set match, 1-6, 6-4, 6-4. This team is composed of Martha Sledge and Vivian Johnson, who reached the finals in the Bi-County meet. In the closest girls’ singles match of the year, and one that was very interesting to watch, Mary Nott de- feated Catherine Kenney, 6-4, 7-5. About every game went to duce, and either set was anybody’s until the last point was won. Mary Garabedian played in the mixed doubles. The team made a fine showing in the Bi-County also. The double team reached the finals in the meet. Martha Sledge and Vivian Johnson, made up the team, defeated Los Banos, 8-6, 8-10, 6-0, in the first round. Dos Palos defeated Catherine Kenney, Madera girl singles player, in the semi-finals of the meet by a score of 6-4, 6-2. Mary Garabedian plaved in the mixed doubles team.
