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 — — — ————
