Sportsmanship 1s a term often used but little understood. It implies two very definite things, the first being fair play, and the second the desire to win, that which spurs one on to use every effort possible. Fair play starts, first of all, in the mental attitude of an individual toward his or her opponent. It implies that there should be no hard feelings, and that the spirit of rivalry should reign supreme. In play- ing any game, no unfair advantages must have a place, and after the final play is made, fair play must still have a part in giving credit where credit is due. Defeat must never be followed with an excuse, True sportsmanship means putting forth our best efforts at all times; having the courage to try harder after every defeat; profiting by our mistakes instead of bemoaning them; blaming our def eat upon luck; caring so greatly whether we win or lose that the thought of losing only causes that last extra effort which wrests success from the very jaws of defeat. The desire to win should be accompanied by the desire to win fairly, for there can be no glory ina dishonest victory. Defeat should only mean a greater determination for future victory, and steady work for better preparation. So let us try to keep always that spirit which envies no success 1n a rival fellowman. The glory lies, not in never losing, or failing, but in our attitude toward the game being played. —Hazel Snell, 30. ee DHedice Che 1930 Edition of the «Nurple and Albite’? Dedicated to sf = : ° . Inmard pies Rowe, aN appreciation � making euerp undcrinking of the Class a success SS 1s ARM TEN OUS ENS, NIN MWD IE, The staff of the Purple and White, the year book issued by the Senior Class, being one of the important literary organizations of the High School, it was felt that a distinctive insignia should be issued to the members of the staff upon the satisfactory completion of a definite program of work on the annual. Therefore, a gold emblem was adopted consisting of a hammered ““P” over a plain “W,” the two being surmounted upon a quill pen. A committee of five teachers selects six students from the Senior Class each year as nominees for editor and business manager. Nomi- nations are based on the students’ command of English, ability, initia- tive, dependability, and leadership. The editor and business manager are then selected from these nominees by popular vote of the Seniors. The editor selects the remainder of the staff with the approval of the committee. The work on the annual is done outside of class hours. IN APPRECIATION The staff of the annual wishes to express a word of appreciation for the co-operation given it in the publication of this book by the members of the Student Body of the school, the Madera business men and all those who aided in making this book a success. A special word of thanks is given to the Madera Sugar Pine Company for the use of their cuts, to Mr. L. W. Sharp for his assistance in securing infor- mation about the history of Madera, to Miss Lura Welch and Mrs. Bonita Maloy for helping to check copy, to Parks’ Studio for the group pictures and to Miss Margaret Humphreys for her interest and help.

As has been true in the past, the lowly frosh were initiated in no uncertain manner. The I’reshmen, together with the new teachers, pr esented a very amusing burlesque of the queen coronation ceremonies of the Madera County Fair. Miss Denn, the new music teacher, reigned supreme as the fair Queen Annabell. Her subordinates were the incoming students. Fol- lowing the ceremony of coronation, Louis Nouque, the Student Body | resident, administered an oath of allegiance. The decoration committee, under the direction of Miss Josephson, turned the gymnasium into an open air garden in appearance. A false ceiling was made of strips of crepe paper to represent the sky with gilt stars shining through. The walls were banked with greenery and the entire effect was quite original and charming. va we = 5 oa fa a S S Z, S =x) The music for the evening was furnished by a Fresno orchestra and, needless to say, dancing helped to make the party enjoyable to the very end. The freshman reception is one of the three occasions of the year at which time former students of the high school are made welcome. Grrts’ Hi Jinx On the evening of Friday, October 18, the Girls’ League held its annual hi-jinx in the form of a Halloween masquerade party. All who attended were required to come in fancy dress. In the grand march Margaret Chamberlin won the prize for the most attractive costume, wearing a very novel orange costume with black trimmings, while Lois Harder won the prize for originality. Lois’ costume was indeed spooky to look at, as it was black with white skeleton bones mounted upon it. The decorations featured the Halloween colors, which helped all present to get into the spirit of the evening. ‘Ihe entertainment committee had numerous games prepared and a most enjoyable pro- gram, which consisted of: A dance by Betty Palmer; a skit, “The Opening of a Gym Class,” by the Girls’ League Council; a collegiate stunt under the direction of Mary Van Curen; and ghost stories by K. M. Barager. Refreshments of pumpkin pie and chocolate brought a most en- joyable evening to a close. Girts’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION PARTY October 25th will stand out as an important date in the social calendar of the school year because of the delightful dance which was the start off of the school parties. ‘This first dance was sponsored by the Girls’ Athletic Association. It was most enjoyable because of the Halloween spirit which prevailed. The decorations were of orange and black, and witches, cats, and bats were silhouetted all over the walls. The music for the dancing was furnished by Percy Bost’s peppy orchestra of Fresno, The committee largely responsible for the success of the evening was Doris Thede, Mary Van Curen, Leah Desmond, Aileen Butler, Isabelle Boyle, and Anna Merle Burns. FoorTnaLL, DANCK The football dance, which followed the second Madera-Merced football game, was given by the Scholarship Society. The honored guests of the affair were the members of the Merced football team. Black and orange were the two colors with which the cafeteria SSVI V AHHONOHdOS was decorated. Black silhouettes of footballs, goal posts, and foot- ball players added to the decorations, and helped to give this dance an athletic atmosphere. During the dance, Captain Miles was introduced to the Merced Captain by Student Body President Nouque. After the introduction Captain Miles gave greetings to the Merced players on behalf of the Madera High School. The prize waltz was won by a Merced couple, closely rivaled by Merrill Wootten and Lorene Hooper. Percy Bost’s orchestra fur- nished the music. There was no doubt of the party’s success, as soon after it had started the Maderans were having such a good time they completely forgot the defeat which they experienced earlier in the day. ALUMNI BANQUET The 1930 Alumni banquet excelled all past banquets in attend- ance and enjoyment. Miss Viola Macon, a popular alumna as well as a faculty member, acted as toastmistress and proved to be very suc- cessful by making many humorous introductions and by the clever stories which she told. The program presented during the dinner was as follows: Violin solo, Fenton Dean; reading, Beatrice Mastrofini; duet, Henrietta Muller and Doris Thede; song, Mrs. C. M. Curry; reading, Marquita Goodnight; and song, J. EF. Kirkman. Clarence Miles, the Senior Class President, welcomed the alumni back to the campus. ‘The welcome was responded to by Ralph Mitchell of the class of ‘24. Several other members of the Alumni gave short impromptu talks which were enjoyed. Dancing brought the eVenino tonanclose. The Seniors, under the leadership of H. L. Rowe, were determined to make the banquet a success and by doing the janitor work they were able to pay for an extra large orchestra. It was due to their efforts and enthusiasm that the affair proved to be so enjoyable. CuristmMAs Dott DANCE As always, the Doll Dance proved to be one of the most success- ful affairs of the year. It was eee by the Student Council. The decorations followed the Christmas spirit. A Christmas tree and a fireplace helped to make a cozy corner for the patrons and patronesses, while a snow man and artificial snow around the lights gave a winter atmosphere to the party. Each girl brought a doll for her admittance. ‘These dolls were given to the Lions’ Toy Pile for Christmas distribution among the poor children. The Lions Club ies) = SOPHOMORE B CLASS donated three prizes for the girls’ dolls. Jane Hughes won the first prize for the most popular doll. Her doll was composed of a can of beans covered with red and yellow checkered cloth, ‘This prize was a two-pound box of candy. Flora Muller won the second prize for the most original doll, which was a small doll artis- tically dressed in leaves. Ruth Payne won the third prize for the best workmanship. Her doll was carefully dressed like Red Riding Flood, This dance was a good, peppy party and helped all present to get into the Yuletide spirit. The Falkenstein Orchestra of Fresno fur- nished the music. Hart DANCE This year’s celebration of St. Valentine’s Day was in the form of the Heart Dance, sponsored by the Girls’ League. The manner in which the cafeteria was decorated showed that this party was “hearty” in more ways than one. Hearts of all colors and sizes adorned the room, to make the decorations more beautiful than even anticipated. ‘he dance programs were very novel, being different colored folding hearts. sillie Carroll, a young tap dancer of Fresno, gave several novelty dances which were ereatly enjoyed. Ida Carroll’s Melody Girls, a four-piece girls’ orchestra from Fresno, furnished the music. The girl musicians were in costume, and proved to be one of the best orchestras that has ever played here. The dance, without a question, was a success. SPANISH Party The Spanish classes had a party on May 2nd, to celebrate Spanish Independence Day. The decorations for the party were in red and yellow, which made the cafeteria very attractive. ‘There were also many flags of different countries on the walls, which made this cele- bration similar to those in Spain. The refreshment booth was decorated to appear like an old-time Mexican cafe. One of the outstanding stunts of the program was the “bull fight” in which Miss Mary Jardine was the “bull” and Miss Lois Merwin, the “toreador.” Other numbers on the program included Spanish songs by Loeta Sphar, and Spanish music by Edra Bondesen, A pantomime, “The Duchess Bounces In,” was presented, in which the characters were played by Margaret Chamberlin, Clayton Clawson, Robert Boles, Helen Barnett, Eleanor Sarll, Mozelle Trout, Sadie Simonian, Dorothy Reasonover, and Winona Peck. ‘The music for the skit was furnished by Edna Cline. SSVWTID ¥ NVINHSHYA The evening was enjoyed with dancing, Spanish fortune-telling, and games. One of the many novelties of the evening was that the refreshments had to be purchased with Spanish money. ‘loo much credit can not be given to Miss Annabel Hall, whose efforts were largely responsible for the success of this party. Moruers’ ‘TRA On the afternoon of May 15th the Senior Class was host to the mothers of the graduates at the annual Mothers’ tea. In previous years this reception was open to only the mothers of the girl gradu- ates, but this year’s tea was a party for the boys’ mothers as well. The cafeteria was decorated in pastel shades and beautiful spring, lowers, which gave a very seasonal effect. Iach mother was pre- sented with a beautiful corsage. The chairmen of the various com- mittees were as follows: Helen Loges, invitations; Margaret Dennis, decoration; Aurora Moosios, favors; Aileen Butler, entertainment ; and Betty Clark, refreshments. JUNIOR-SENTIOR RECEPTION The Junior-Senior reception was, as usual, the social event of the year. It was a program dance and was enjoyed by all present. Its success was due in a large part to the efforts of the chairmen of the various committees, who were as follows: Merrill Wootten, mus ic; Dick Rue, decoration; Margaret Chamberlin, refreshments ; Sidney Epstein, tickets; and Girar Avakian, programs. 19292193 0P AS SE MBETES On Wednesday, September 25th, there was an assembly to launch the three-day Student Body campaign. Louis Nouque, President of the Student Body, pr esided over the meeting. Speeches given for the drive were as follows: “The Benefit of Belonging to the Student Body,” by Marquita Goodnight; ‘The Maderan,” by Aileen Butler; “How Can We Support Our School?”, by Daniel Hebern; and “Athletics.” iby Raynor lacks, “At the conclusion of the speeches K. M. Barager led the assembly in singing “Hail to Madera.” The annual Armistice Day assembly was held on Tuesday, No- vember 12th. The program opened with the chorus singing “Guns”, a very eloquent and touching number. ‘The members of the public speak- ing class gave the following speeches: ‘What the Signing of the Armistice Meant to Those in France’, Dan Hebern; ‘‘A Hero’, by Sidney Epstein; “The World War”, by Leopold Mastrofini; “The B CLASS FRESHMAN Pr eet se American Legion”, by Betty Clark; and “World Peace”, by Walter Ficklin. The mixed chorus then sang ‘There Is No Death’. ‘The numbers rendered by the chorus were under the direction of Miss Annabel Denn. Mr. Everett B. Peck, representing the American Legion, led the assemblage in two minutes of silence in honor of those men who died in France. ‘he assembly then closed with the student hody singing “America.” The Purple and White staff presented a program on Monday, November 18th, for the purpose of starting the 1930 annual drive. The program was in the form of a play, in which Doyle Haney made a good old-fashioned father and Wilson Grace represented a very modern son. The son tried to work a dollar out of his father so that he could purchase an annual, and from this plot many hilarious incidents were brought to life. Hazel Snell, the editor, made a darling old- fashioned lady. Hazel open the program by telling the students about the theme of this year’s annual and the staff. An antiquated tvpe of joyriding was enjoyed by Betty Clark, Lorene Litt, and Ed Harris when they came out riding in a wagon-load of hay. Aileen 3utler and Kenneth Bennett, together with Bisie Gatti and Ed Harris, both made couples for an old-fashioned waltz. Doris Thede, with her long dress, her high-top shoes, and her spectacles brought down the house as an old-fashioned “‘school mom”. Isabel White showed the audience the beach costume of the olden days when she appeared on the stage wearing a long, black bathing suit of 1879. John Humphreys, the business manager, then brought the program to a close by urging all students to co-operate in making the 1930 annual a success. This program was very original and amusing. The annual extemporaneous speaking contest was won by Lucia Warburton on December 5th. Lucia spoke on “Iairer Politicians” She interpreted the topic to mean politicians of the ‘fair’ sex, Other speakers and their subjects were: Frances Ann Clawson, “Will Women Adopt the New Street Sweeper?” ; Sidney Epstein, ‘““The Na- tional Sport’; Leopold Mastrofini , “Our Quota of Accidents’: and Vinnie Webster, “The Christmas Card Hocus”. All of the speeches were very inter esting, and this speaking contest was one of the most successful ever attempted. Taking the place of the annual Christmas play, the music de- partment presented a very unusual and spectacular program, under the direction of Miss Annabel Denn. Attorney David P. Barcroft gave a very good talk on “Christmas”. His speech was very inspir- ing and forceful. The Girls’ Glee Club then gave the processional. This number was eloquent as the girls were dressed in white robes and sang “The First Noel” while marching. Other numbers on the pro- gram included: “Holy Night”, chorus; “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear”, Doris Thede and C. B. Dean: “Joy to the World”, chorus; violin solo, Fenton Dean; “Silent Night’, Edra Bondesen and Margaret Lease. The program closed with the finale, “In a Monastery Garden”, orchestra and chorus. On March 14th the students were entertained by a delegation from the University of California at Berkeley. Gilbert McKay was chairman of the program. He first introduced Miss Waldo, the Junior Editor of the Daily Californian. She is a talented pianist and played many numbers. Miss Beulah Davis, vice chairman of the deputations committee, then spoke on the difference between high school and college. John Reynolds, President of the Associated Students of California, was the next speaker. He told of the student government at the University, and what a college education really is. The last speaker was Horace McCorkle, chairman of the deputations committee, who spoke on the traditions of the University. The pro- gram then closed with Miss Waldo rendering piano selections. Spring was officially opened in the school by Blossom Day, an annual event sponsored by the Girls’ League. ‘This event was char- acterized by the girls wearing their new spring dresses. In the after- noon a program was g iven, consisting of: Play by the Dramatics Class, “A Fan And Two Candlesticks”, played by Betty Dearborn, Audrey Denney, and Leah Desmond; Scotch dance by Mary Jane Page, Eleanor Sar ll, and Rose Marie Avila; tap dancing by “T he Col lesians’ ’. who are in real life Miss Lois Merwin, Miss Mary Shetler, Miss Annabel Denn, and Miss Margaret Keith; Japanese dance, starring June Goto; Dutch dance and song by Betty Palmer, Bertha Oberg, and Daisy Larson; songs by the faculty trio, Miss Viola Macon, Miss Mary Jardine, and Miss Lura Welch. “The Bishop’s Candlesticks”, a very novel one-act play, was pre- sented by the Dramatics Class on May Ist. This play was Madera’s entry in the San Joaquin Valley drama contest, which is annually sponsored by a Fresno newspaper. Due, ina great part, to Miss Viola Macon’s supervision and the efforts of the cast, the play was a very finished presentation. Those in the cast were as follows: ‘he bishop, Fenton Dean; Persome, Marquita Goodnight; Marie, Henrietta Muller; sergeant of the gendarmes, Dick Rue; and the soldiers, Wilson Grace and Merrill Wootten. 1897 George W.

Besides the Student Body officers and the new members mentioned above, the council is composed of the presidents of the various classes, yell leader, athletic representatives, editor of the Maderan, and the president of the ‘Girls’ League. The Girls’ Athletic Association presented a proposal by which a girl earning 1400 points in athletics should be awarded a sweater. The council passed the proposal. It was decided that a new trophy case should be built to serve as a home for Madera’s numerous trophy cups. Asa result of this decision a cabinet was designed by Arthur Mariscotti and made by Dysart Scribner and Raymond Martin.

Among those were “Happy” Goldsmith, who gave a humorous talk on health; Mrs. Robson of the Hostess Cake Company in San I rancisco, who talked on travel; Mr. Hedgepeth of Visalia, who spoke about students, and Mr. Geoffrey Morgan, who is the author of ‘Riding Down the Sky”. The Deputations Committee of the University of California en- tertained the students one morning, and they encouraged the students to study now for high grades so that when the time comes to go to college they will have the necessary recommendations. The Student Council this semester went on record as favoring a donation to the I uture Farmers to assist in financing the teams that are to participate in the state finals at San Luis Obispo.

At the beginning of the present school year there were 21 mem- bers in the society. During the second semester there were 29 members. ‘This decided srowth indicates that the students are realiz- ing the importance of serious study. Semi-monthly meetings were held to discuss financial and social questions. Short programs were included in the meetings. In order to join the society, a pupil must have a total of ten points. Each “one” counts three points, and each “two” counts one point. One may also receive points for outside activities. ‘The greatest social event of the year was the football dance given in November. It was sponsored by the Scholar ship Society. Many active members are found in the society. This was well proven when the play “Station Y. Y. Y. Y.”, by Booth Tarkington, was presented before the Student Body. ‘Those who took part in the play were: Dorothy Cobb, Clayton Clawson, Frances Ann Clawson, Fred Williams, Marquita Goodnight, Eloree Wilhams, Leopold Mastrofini, and Kenneth Knox, On November 22, 1929, Elsie Gatti and Frances Ann Clawson, two of the Scholarship members, accompanied Miss Lura Welch to Lemoore to attend the annual Scholarship convention. A general discussion was held on the morning after their arrival in Lemoore, during which Dr. Schneider gave an interesting talk on Scholarship. After the discussion, luncheon was held, and a program given, On March 22, the California Scholarship Federation convention of the San Joaquin Valley district was held in Madera. The meeting opened at 10 o'clock with a short program and introductions. Fol- lowing the business meeting, discussions were held on the following subjects: Scholarship privileges; extra curricular activities; how to attract new members; advantages of a seal-bearer; open forum.

J. McMahon The Madera chapter of the national organization of Future larmers of America with its fifty-five active members has proved to be one of the most active organizations in school during the present year, under the supervision of B. J. McMahon, High School agricul- tural instructor. At the first meeting of the year the election of officers was held, and the organization of activities to be carried on during the year was decided upon. At the first meeting of the year, the candidates for the “Green Hand” degree were initiated, and the candidates for the ‘Junior Ikarmer” degree were advanced. Walter Ficklin is the only member to hold the “California Farmer” degree at present. The judging teams had an unusually successful year, winning ten silver trophy cups, four gold medals, two silver medals, and over seventy ribbons. These were won at the § San Joaquin County Fair, Los Angeles Fat Stock Show, San Joaquin Valley contests at Hanford, Davis Picnic, and the state finals at San Luis Obispo. Sam Schmidt was high individual at Oakland in dairy products, Norie Avakian high individual in the state finals on dairy cattle, Walter Pfister on trees, and Walter Ficklin second high in livestock. ‘The livestock team— Walter Curran, Walter Ficklin, and Raymond Haney, won a cup every place they competed this year. The team won the sweepstakes trophy for the San Joaquin V alley, and second out of sixty-five schools at the Davis picnic. A program was put on by the members for the Rotary club during the year also. An oratorical contest was staged to determine the representative of the chapter in a San Joaquin Valley contest, and was won by Dick Baldy in a spirited contest. Walter Ficklin represented the chapter in another valley wide oratorical contest, taking fourth place. Business and social meetings are held at least once ev ery two weeks, It is doubtful whether any other organization in school can show as wide a range of activities successfully carried on, as can the luture Ifarmers.

It is a four- page paper and contains 16 columns of news. ‘The Maderan carries the news about social events, past and future, athletics, high school editorials, feature stories and a humorous section. The editor and business manager during the first semester were assisted by an excellent staff, which included Alfrieda Grace, Assistant Editor: William Crooks, Assistant Business Manager; Lee Crosno, Sports Editor; Lorene Litt, Girls’ Sports Editor; Margaret Cham- berlin, Leo Tashjian, Literary Editors; Frances Ann Clawson, News editor; Clarence Miles, Joke Editor; Helen Barnett, Lila Martin, xchange Editors; Margaret Chamberlin, Circulation Manager; setty Long, Lorene Litt, Typists; Girar Avakian, Cartoonist. An event of importance is the semi-annual visit to the plant of the local newspaper where the Maderan is printed. Students see in opera- tion a linotype, t the various kinds of presses, folders, and other mechan- ical devices necessary for the publication of a paper as well as limita tions of makeup.

Doris Thede, Robert Boles, Ed Harris, Betty Clark, Lorene Litt, John Humphreys, Holden Scott, Donald Pitman, Robert Shuman, Hazel Snell, and Pete Daniels were the delegates sent. Miss Hall accompanied the group. The delegates returned with many interesting as well as amusing facts about the convention. They also prese nted a comical skit about the convention when they returned. Miss Stoddard was very fortunate in having many poetic students for the second semester’s Maderan. This was well proven when the Maderan was put out on April 16.

Anna Merle Burns IMIS TUOMAS TANT cece TANGIVAS Oeste ies eee cee Miss Lois Merwin Although the Girls’ Athletic Association is an organization of long standing, it has only recently come into prominence among the many school organizations. Eligibility is obtained by earning 100 points by participating in inter class or interscholastic sports. The many sports entered into by the girls of Madera High are: Base- ball, basketball, speedball, volleyball, hockey, tennis, Neceepacl riding, and swimming. The purposes of the Girls’ Athletic Association are to aid the girls in developing a liking for sports, to provide a means whereby girls may earn awards in sports, and to promote a spirit of friendli- ness among them. Before this club was organized the Block M was the only organization for those interested in sports. There are now about 120 members in the organization. [ach year at least 25 or 30 new members come into the club. More girls have entered sports and more sports have been introduced since this club has been organized. When the Girls’ Athletic Association was first organized there were only fifteen members. The point system and the various awards of the organization are as follows: A definite number of points may be earned in each game played, and the exact number is decided upon by the particular sport and whether the game is interclass or interscholastic; a girl must earn 100 points to enter the organization, 300 points to win a circle M, 500 points to win a block M, 1,000 points to win a winged M, and 1,400 points to win a sweater. Mary Van Curen, a Senior, was the only girl to receive one of these sweaters. The various awards are given out at luncheons which are held every month. — Besides awards, yell practice, group singing, and special numbers constitute the program. The Girls’ Athletic Association was the first organization to sponsor a school dance this year. On May 5, a luncheon was held and four winged letters were given out. These letters went to Vivian Johnson, Done ‘Thede, Rose Simonian, and Lucia Warburton. The big social event of the second semester was a picnic at Fresno Crossing on May 24. 61 DEBATORS Under the guidance of Coach L,. C. Thompson, the Madera High debators—Leopold Mastrofini, Frances Ann Clawson, Arthur Manasse, and Sidney Epstein—have again becorne victorious. For the last three years the school debating teams have been victors over the sixteen schools who entered teams in the valley contest. The winning of these debates for three years has given Madera permanent title to the silver cup which was presented by the I resno State College. The subjects for debate this season have been popular as well as instructive. Two of the topics were: ‘Resolved, That The Chain Store System Is a Detriment to The Economic Welfare of the United States Public’, and ‘Resolved, That The Proposed International Fixed Calendar of Thirteen Equal Months Should Be Adopted”. One inter- esting feature of the debates this season was the introduction of the evening contests for the benefit of those who could not attend the regular schoolday debates, and the attempt was well rewarded when a crowd of 300 turned out for the finals in Memorial Hall. On the evening of April 25, the debate with Lemoore took place before a large, enthusiastic audience. I‘rances Ann Clawson and Leopold Mastrofini supported and won the negative side of the ques- tion on chain stores, while Arthur Manasse and Sidney Epstein won the debate in Lemoore upholding the affirmative. CAFETERIA The Cafeteria of Madera Union High School provides very at- tractive and appetizing lunches for the students every noon. The food is prepared by a group of girls, under the direction of Miss Margaret Metzler. ‘The class is a small one containing only eleven members, but 1t has accomplished more than some of the larger cafeteria classes have done in the past. The girls have not only prepared the daily lunches for the faculty and students, but they have also served several luncheons for the Girls’ Athletic Association and also a dinner given for the Industrial Arts Association. On these occasions the girls decorated the tables attractively with flowers and served the food in a very appetizing form. Jean Ricci and lola Copus, two members of the class, were the first two girls ever to be placed in charge of the meal receipts in the cafe teria. ‘Their accuracy in handling the money has been quite unusual. After this year any girl who wishes to take Cafeteria must have had at least two years of cooking before she can enter the class. This is necessary, for cafeteria cooking necessitates speed in action and a thorough knowledge of food. 63 SSWLO DNIMOGD COOKING CLASSES The girls in the cooking classes of Madera Union High School are increasing in number each year as interest grows more keen in the home economics subjects. A few years ago students had to be urged to take cooking and now, because of the new interest in that line of work, it has become necessary to limit the classes. At the present time there are two home economics teachers in the high school, Mrs. Anne Murphy and Miss Margaret Metzler, both of whom have classes every period of the day. The white clad home economies girls, in studying food principles and their place in the diet of today, are counting the calories and building a firm foundation for the health of tomorrow. The beginning course is pre requisite to cafeteria cooking and it 1s a requirement for all those who are majoring in that department. It answers the requirement of one year practical arts which must be fulfilled for high school graduation. During the past year there has been two such classes, each two periods in length. Girls taking cook- ing receive a full credit for the work of the year. Durine the first semester in the beginners class the students study food principles in relation to the preparation and serving of breakfast. ‘The final achievement of the class is to prepare and serve a complete breakfast. T’wo days are set aside for this affair and the class is divided into two groups which take turns in the work of preparation and in eating the meal. The work of the second semester is organized about the study of foods in relation to lunches and dinners. Near the end of the semester a formal dinner is served to the parents and the teachers of the students in the group. The unit system has been adopted for the work of the class room and the students cook in pairs. Large recipes are cut down for the school work to enable the students to learn how to make any quantity desired. Record note books are kept for future reference. In these hooks the students have a carefully selected group of tested recipes and numerous well balanced menus, Just prior to the Christmas holidays the student cooks learned to make many kinds of Christmas candies and cookies. Needless to say. the candy making is one of the high lights of the course from the student standpoint. A side issue of interest is the opportunity given students to learn correct table setting for all occasions. They also learned to make inexpensive nut cups and table favors. 65 LIBRARIANS Madera High is proud of her well kept library which is in charge of student librarians under the direction of Mr. West. These librarians not only check out books and help find reference work, but they also take care of all library books and are taught all of the fine points about mending torn and damaged books. The library is much sought after as a place to study and, because of the large enrollment in the High School, this privilege has been reserved for upper-class students. Freshmen and Sophomores are only allowed to study there when it is necessary for them to use reference books. In spite of these limitations, it is filled to overflow- ing every period of the day. On the library shelves we find the New American [neyclopedia of thirty volumes, history books of all descriptions, books on government, fiction by selected authors, mysteries, and many other interesting books. Magazines, such as the Saturday Evening Post, Colliers, Literary Digest, Popular Mechanics, and Popular Science, and the daily newspapers are also kept there. When necessary, to teach students respect for books and_ the privilege of the library, nominal fines are imposed. The revenue from such fines is used for the purchase of new equipment. 66 DEPARTMENTS Tre Busses So smoothly and efficiently does the bus department run, under the direction of Mr. Armstrong, that little is ever heard of it and yet, when one stops to consider, the school busses travel on a monthly average of ten thousand four hundred miles. They carry safely to and from school each day two hundred ninety-seven students. The nine high school busses start out daily about 7 o'clock in the morning and return with their loads of students about 8:30. The average trip which is taken twice daily by every one of the busses 1s twenty-six miles. All repair work on the busses is done between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3:45 p. m. and only constant watchfulness on the part of Mr. Armstrong and expert repair work enables the busses to keep on the roads day after day from September to June. During the summer vacation they are given a complete overhauling, and placed in readiness for the coming school year. THE SHOPS The Madera High School has two well equipped modern shops which offer splendid opportunities to those students who are inter- ested in the mechanical arts. Numerous garage mechanics in Ma- dera have received their auto mechanics training in the High School auto shops and numerous other graduates have received sufficient knowledge there to enable them to keep their own machines in repair. Such is the work of the auto mechanics classes. 67— An interesting project of the mechanics students under the direction of Mr. Nleemeyer, was a working model of a steam engine. This miniature — self-con- tained steam plant, con- sisted of fuel tank, boiler, and engine. Students who participated in the design and construction of — it were: Keith Immert, Donald Hubbard, Turner Dial tomes Bredicacer Hildreth Daulton, Bill Barsotti, Vance Allen, Robert Kelly, Joe Stefan, 4 ; || Kubin Croshio. sand nlet= iam, ae man Leming. ‘The steam plant develops up to 60 pounds pressure and runs at an average of 40 pounds pressure. The woodwork classes, under the direction of Mr. Bartelt, have made numerous cabinets, desks, cases, chairs, ete., for use in the school as well as some exceptionally fine cabinets, cedar chests and other articles of furniture for the individual students’ rooms and homes. SCIENCE During the past decade some of the greatest discoveries of all times have been made in the field of science. Other phases of sciense have been perfected to such an extent as to double their value. With these new discoveries and improvements, science has become very closely connected with every day life and it is practically necessary for every one to know at least the fundamental principles involved. The study of natural science is now recognized as having far reachine effects upon the future happiness of the student, as the poet wrote— “One impulse from a vernal wood, May teach you more of man, Of moral, evil and of good, Than all the sages can.”’ In the Madera High School there are three science teachers. The courses offered are: General Science, Botany, Physics and Chemistry. One year of a laboratory science is required for high school graduation and for college entrance at least either Physics or Chemistry but preferably both. Approximately half of the student body is registered in some science course. The Biology laboratory is always a very interesting place to visit because of the many specimens of wild life and flora to be seen there. A balanced aquarium with several species of gold fish is one of the most interesting objects. SPANISH “Little Spain” might be a more appropriate name for room 4 as a glimpse inside at any time during the school day would reveal Miss Hall as the leader of a group of students who not only speak Spanish but think in that tongue as well. “Quien Mucho Habla Mucho Yerra,”’ a motto which means when translated into English, “He who speaks much errs much”, is placed in a prominent place in one corner of the room to remind the students to eliminate all thoughtless con- versation, Alternating with the routine drill work of the Spanish classes is a most interesting program of conversational exercises, the result of which 1s shown in the ease with which the second year student is able to converse. It 1s this program of songs, games, stories, plays, and enlivened conversation that makes a usually tiresome subject one of the most interesting in the high school. ach student taking Spanish is required to spend some outside time working on a project. The choice of the project is left entirely to the individual, At the end of an allotted time all of the projects are displayed in the Spanish room and every student is given a vote to choose the best. Much interest is always shown in the project work as the lucky students whose work is chosen by the class, as being the best, receive useful little awards. The prizes and prize winners this year were: Eva Wilson, a compact; Mildred Jensen, a picture; Clayton Clawson, a subscription to a magazine from Spain, and Homer Clawson, a belt. COMMERCIAL Click, click, click, from early morning until the close of the school day, can be heard coming from the typing room and the treasurer's office, where the many commercial students learn to handle with ease the typewriter, mimeograph, adding machine and other mechanical devices which aid in speeding up the work in modern offices. ‘fficiency is the motto of every commercial student, and to this end many hours are spent each day in mastering commercial law, salesmanship, book- keeping, stenography, commercial arithmetic, and an allied subject given by the English department, business lnelish. lifteen typing students earned pins by writing forty words a minute with less than five errors and fifteen students earned certificates by writing thirty words a minute with less than five errors. The shorthand class placed very high in the Bi-county contest. Advanced typing students have a w onderful opportunity to gain practical experi- ence in the various offices of the High School. They also do all of the mimeographing and letter writing in response to outside requests from down-town clubs, lodges, etc., and actually help various business firms during their rush season by working part time in their offices. The Sr lesmanship class study the m: iny phases of an advertising campaign. ‘hey learn the art of displaying merchandise in an at- tractive manner and the outstanding project of the class is to decorate the shop windows of a number of the Madera firms. A prize 1s awarded to the student who shows the greatest amount of originality and knowledge of the principles of salesmanship i in the window displ Ly. The ¢ ‘ommercial Law class studies business law by holding mock trials, the students in the class taking the parts of the lawyers, judge, jury, defendant and plaintiff. Much interest is taken in these trials. The Commercial Arithmetic classes gave several demonstrations, at the luncheon clubs and at high school assemblies, of their ability to do rapid calculations and lightning addition. The arithmetic class is composed almost entirely of I reshmen, The commercial department is one of the largest departments in the school. One or more commercial subjects are taken by nearly every student during his or her high school course. At the present time about 315 students are taking work in that department. Three teachers devote their entire time to teaching commercial subjects. Art AND MECHANICAL. DRAWING ‘The secret is out—one need not be born a genius to be able to paint, draw and make lovel y things. The fundamental principles of design, color work and freehand drawing may be learned in a similar manner to the way in which a person would go about mastering any other subject such as mathematics or English. All of the covers, pillows, scrap-books and other craft objects decorated by the members of the art classes, are decorated with lovely original designs. No copy work is allowed. The pen and ink drawings used on the dividers in this annual were made by members of the advanced art class and the wood blocks used in the humorous section were cut by freehand drawing students. The mechanical drawing students assist in the work of the school by designing the various cabinets for school use which are made in the woodshop, by blue-printing forty copies of the school program each term, a by drafting many charts, ete. MILFORD PICKET A HISTORIC LANDMARK A place of historical interest in Madera County is the monument erected in memory of Major James D. Savage. It marks one of the first settlements in the San Joaquin Valley, as well as the grave of Major Savage, who started it by establishing a trading post in 1850. The Major was commissioned by the government to protect the early settlers from the Indians, who were causing considerable trouble at that time. Along the line of duty he accidentally discovered the Yosemite, one of nature’s beauty spots, which has later be- come world known, Major James D. Savage was an outstand- ing figure in the glorious romantic days of 49. He was a deep chested, two fisted fighting man, whose lion-like courage and fairness en- abled him to handle the Indians without diff- culty. In 1852, while on Kings River, the Major met his death at the hands of a coward- ly enemy who shot him in the back. Major Savage's true worth as a friend and associate, as well as the value of his services to his country have been beau- tifully expressed in the lasting tribute paid to his memory by his business partner, the late Dr. Lewis Leach, who erected a monument at the site of the old trading post about seventeen miles east of Madera on the banks of the Fresno river. ‘The monument is a tall pillar of Connecticut granite which was brought around the Horn to San Francisco and was shipped from there up the San Joaquin river to Stockton, and conveyed the rest of the way in an ox cart to its present location, Savage Monument The monument bears the simple inscription: ‘To the memory of Major James D. Savage.” It was originally inlaid with solid gold letters, but time and marauding Indians have done away with all of the gold and only the plain engraving remains to be seen. It is rather interesting, when we consider the difficulties which Dr. Leach had in securing granite for the monument, and the distance NI iow which the granite was brought for it, that only a few miles north- ward from its location are the Knowles and McGilvray Granite Quarries, which are the largest in the United States. The building which Major Savage constructed, of sunbaked adobe bricks and pine, to house his trading station has recently been rehabilitated by the Madera Sugar Pine Company. It was necessary for the company to remove the old split pine shakes, as they were worn thin by attrition of wind and rain, and many of them had blown off the roof. [lowever, the workers preserved the original rafters and sheathing which were still in a good state of repair. The roof truss was reinforced in such a way as to absolutely assure it against later collapse, and new sheathing was nailed upon the rafters. The new pine shakes were used for roofing and they were nailed down with cement nails so as to make certain the permanency of the roof, MIsieNGactie Adobe Trading Station, Used By Major Savage In Days of ’49 BRIEF HISTORY OF MADERA When California was organized as a state in 1850, what is now Madera County was included in Mariposa County, one of the original twenty-seven. ‘Then, in 1856, Fresno County was formed from Mari ile posa, and later, in 1893, Madera was separated from Fresno by a popular vote of the residents. The first settlement was in the hill region where gold finding attracted many placer miners. ‘l‘he primary discovery was at ‘Texas Mlat, later known as Coarse Gold. Not long after 1845, Texas Flat had the largest population in the whole of what was then Fresno County. Ledge mining followed placer mining about 1860 and many rich claims were developed. Some of the early mines were Gambetta at Grub Gulch, Mud Springs near O’Neals, and Hildreth mine at Hildreth. In 1850, trouble arose between the miners and the Indians. The Indians resented the white man’s intrusion on their hunting grounds, while, at the same time, miners’ cabins were frequently looted and their horses stolen. ‘The trouble increased until, after several deaths had resulted, the Indian tribes united in a war to exterminate the whites. Under the authority of Governor McDougal, the California (Mariposa) battalion of 212 men was organized, with Major James D. Savage in command. In the campaign that followed, the Indians were defeated and moved to a reservation. As a result of this conflict, the Yosemite Valley was discovered. The plains of Madera County remained unsettled until 1869, when members of the Alabama Settlement came from the Southern states to engage in grain farming near Borden. Owing to unfavor- able conditions, all but two families left the locality. Later, Borden developed into a town of approximately 200 people. In the choice of a site for the city of Madera, fate and the lumber industry played equally active parts. As its name, which in Spanish means timber, would indicate, the city was originally a lumber town. In 1874, the California Lumber Company selected it as its site for a terminous to sixty miles of flume from Soquel Basin, where the mill was to be built. At the time, the town of Borden was also under consideration, but for several reasons, including a difference in desirability and lack of co-operation in concluding the Borden arrangements, Madera was chosen. The California Lumber Company operated until 1878. when, severely crippled by the dry year of 1877, it could not survive the fol- Yosemite Chinese Camp FP Tenaya Lake Bis Oo, Flay National Crane Flat Coulterville Checking (Statica WA Wd Of A “ Mariposa Grove PBig Trees MARIPOSA ; te Comp Miami Lodge Sugor Pine Coday BroF Nippinnawasee Ro.

Soon after, the bank deeded to the Madera Flume and Trading Company all the property and water rights of the original business. Mr. Return Roberts took charge of the reorganized business and under his management the second California mill was built a few miles east of the first mountain mill, later being followed by the Soquel site. A large planing mill was built at Madera, and sash and door and box factories added. The labor for the yards was supplied almost entirely from the large Chinatown which, in those days, cov- ered several blocks, including the present Lincoln School grounds. After operating some twenty years the Madera |: ‘teams and Trad- ing Company went out of business, and the flume was permitted to dec: vy, although the right of way and the water rights were retained. In 1883 William H. Thurman built another saw mill at lish Camp and ope ace it for ten years. Three years later his son, W. B. Thurman and J. W. Drysdale moved the Soquel mill to Fish Camp. In 1899 the tes Madera Sugar Pine Company was organized, E.. H. Cox being the directing head. He was one of the early railroad station agents of Madera, after learning the lumber business in the offices of the Madera Flume and Trading Company. The new com- pany took over its predecessor's flume right of way and water right, and again the lumbering industry was under way. ‘The flume was rebuilt, a large planing mill erected just east of town, and the site of the mountain mill located at Sugar Pine, where the company had access to the standing timber sold by the National l‘orest Service. This mill was burned in the fall of 1922 and was immediately replaced by a more modern mill of larger capacity. With the beginning of lumbering operations, the company start ed the sale of business and residence lots. Auctions were held and buyers came from far and near. Among the first business houses were Captain R. P. Mace’s Yosemite Hotel, a two-story frame building which was destroy- ed by fire in 1886, and which the own- er immediately re- placed with the present two - story brick building on the same location, a small building used as the post- office, and miscellaneous business houses which have given way to the present structures. The first school was a one-story frame building on Yosemite Avenue, across from the present Pershing school. When destroyed by fire some forty years ago it was replaced by a two-story building which was also burned and in its place a brick building built. The latter was razed when the large, modern Pershing school was built. While the agricultural industry in those days was almost entirely erain farming, some of the pioneers saw that more intensive cultiva- tion was sure to follow. Among them were Mr. Friedlander and Kk. W. Chaplain, who were the leading backers in the construction, in 1875, of what is now the main canal of the Madera Canal and Irriga- tion Company. The first growing of grapes on a commercial scale was at the |. W. Minturn vineyard, the Dorn vineyard, the Madera vineyard, and the N. H. Stockton vineyard. ‘The latter two after- ward became part of the vast vineyards of the Italian Swiss Colony, which were sold when wine making was restrained by law. In 1876 the wagon road from Madera to Yosemite was completed and for several years tourist travel was exclusively by way of the Yosemite Stage and Turnpike Company's stages, running between Madera and Yosemite. Henry W. Washburn, one of the outstanding pioneers, was the organizer and chief owner of the stage line. ‘The stages first used were large affairs which, dashing up a nd down the steep grade, made the trip perilous indeed. Over this route traveled former President Grant and party in 1879, when the noted General was on his tour around the world. With the building of the Southern Pacific branch railroad from Berenda to Raymond, to tap the large granite quarries near the latter place, the stage company made Ray- mond its lower terminus. Seeing the necessity of a bank, Return Roberts and EE. TH. Cox organized the Commercial Bank of Madera, which continued in oper- ation under that name until 1917, when it became a member of the Bank of Italy chain. Although Madera sprang from the lumber industry and that has been its greatest commercial pursuit, a much wider source of wealth has arisen from the increasing agricultural development. Countless square miles of fertile orchards and vineyards, end- less acres of wheat, barley, cotton, and other diversified agricultural products all aid in making the county one to be proud of. In the hill region, which occupies one-third of the total area, are grazing lands for the stock raising industry, another successful enterprise. With only one thing lacking to make Madera’s development com- plete—an extensive irrigation system—a project is now under way to place a huge dam across the San Joaquin river, which will form a vast reservoir holding an adequate supply of water for more than a quarter of a million acres of land. Upon the success of this plan depends the future of the small lumber town of the 70's. Will it remain a prosperous little city or become a thriving metropolis ? —Corrine Hughes. EAP PY “AW AIENING It was a hot afternoon, but, tired as | was, I stood for a moment by the side of the bed upon which my new party dress was spread in readiness for the senior prom that night. ‘Then I sank down against a pillow to rest, still feasting my eyes upon my dainty dress. “Tt is beautiful,” I thought, proudly, as I looked at the creamy lace falling in soft folds over a straight pink slip. I gave a grateful sigh as I realized that it would take only a few minutes to slip it on over my head. A few pats here and there—a last running of the brush over my short hair, and— Then, somehow it was 8 o'clock, and | arose to dress. Imagine my amazement when, instead of my simple little frock, I saw lying on the bed in all its glory, a dress of flowered silk, ruffled and tuck ed irom the tight-fitting bodice to the sweeping hem.

But what on earth could that queer looking thing be? 1 picked itup. Oh! A bustle. 1 tried it on. Then I began with the skirts. Heavens! Would I ever get them all on? There.

A ROMANCE OF THE FLUME Kar up in the high Sierras, looking down on the valleys below, nestled a little log cabin, tucked away in the whispering pine trees. The cabin was little, it is true, and amid the tall pines it had the appearances of a toy house, but in reality it was a cozy little home, a real home in every sense of the word. We found that the rough furniture had been carefully arranged; pictures on the walls, drapes on the windows, a dainty cover and a bouquet of wild flowers on the table, and a few cushions scattered here and there. One needed only a glance at the well-filled book cases at one end of the living room to understand the personality of the individuals whose surroundings expressed them so vividly. It was the home of people who had attained cultivated tastes. In this little cabin lived a family composed of a father, whose name was Franklin Ewing, his wife and daughter. Among all of the 80 mountain people there was not one sterner than Ewing, not one who was harsher in his judgments of right and wrong. Ruth, the wife of Mr. Ewing, was a quiet, meek little woman who had been raised in a city. Always happy, she had adapted herself to life in the mountains and had done all in her power to better her surroundings. The Ewings had lived in peace and comparative comfort—com- fort, at least, better than most of their neighbors pos- sessed. “This might have continued had they not become anxious about the f Wc uenro tient beautiful daughter, Helen, a girl of seventeen summers. She was as sweet and charmine as could be found any- where. Helen, an in- tense lover of na- ture and its beauti- ful surroundings, +4? spent many hours © roaming in the hills and by a_ little brook which brought down “greetings irom the Mich “Sierras| as it passed) om) its way to the meadow below. Near the brook was a quiet secluded spot, encircled by pine trees whose murmuring sounds made it a natural trysting place. ‘There she spent many hours with her friendly books enjoying the pleasant scenery around her. Not far away from this spot could be seen a lumber mill with its huge smoke stacks towering in the air. A shrill whistle could be heard at intervals and a donkey engine was always seen hauling logs to the mill. Leading out from the yard was a flume which carried the rough boards down the mountains and valleys to a town sixty miles away. One day early in the summer, Helen went to spend an afternoon with her book, and while reading she was startled to hear footsteps approaching. Looking up, she saw a handsome young man of perhaps 81 twenty-five years. In personal appearance he was tall, impressive and vigorous. He had a broad, high forehead and keen blue-gray eyes. His firm mouth was characteristic of a man with an iron will. His remarkable face showed he was a man of character. Many pleasant afternoons were spent by the two as their friend- ship grew. As Helen had been forbidden to have anything to do with the men of the mountain district, they had to meet secretly in the woods. Her father’s ambition for her was to marry a man of wealth and prominence. ‘Through the frequent meetings of the two young people, their friendship grew into love. During one of these pleasant afternoon excursions, [wine came upon them. lis stern face was as a growing storm for he had not believed the report of a friend who had recently told of the meetings. Thinking to give his daughter a chance to explain her disobedience, he asked, “Have you forgotten my commands?” Helen looked at her lover, and something in his expression brought color to her cheeks and a daring light into her eyes. ‘The fire of freedom burned fiercely within her. Her voice trembled with excitement, but she spoke clearly. “Father, | love him.” The enraged father told his daughter that she would be sent away immediately and put into some school where she would meet people worthy of her. Thus, he left her with a command to return to the house at once. The young people knew the stern father would carry out his threat, so they planned to elope. They decided to take a couple of small flume boats, and go down the flume to the nearest town, and there be quietly marriec a hey parted, and Helen went to her home to meet her angry parents, who scolded her about her lumberjack lover. Early in the morning, when all was quiet, the lovers met and launched their boats and went down the flume ahead of the day's run of lumber. On reaching the town, they were married, : The father discovered his daughter had left and decided to follow her and prevent the marriage, but he was too late. There being no means of transportation as fast as the flume boat, the wedding had taken place before he could reach the town. Upon his arrival, the father found that the young folks had won out, so he decided to make the best of the situation by saying he had followed them down to bestow his forgiveness upon them. As all good stories should end, they lived happily ever after. -Doris Vhede. LSS My) = am ah we BADERA GOUNTY FREE LIBRARY MADERA, CALIF, THE SENIOR PLAY “A Lucky Break,” the Senior play of the class of 30, proved io be one of the best plays ever pr esented at Madera High School The plot was worked around dramatically serious, as w ell as comical, phases of life in a small town community. John Bruce (Leopold Mastrofini) returned after an absence of twenty years to hig birthplace, a little town in Connecticut, where he planned on building a factory. Soon after his return he fell in love with Nora (Aileen Butler ), one of the belles of the town, who had set her ee upon marr ying a poor man and helping him to win his fortune. In pressing his suit with Nora he ee it necessary to pr etend bankruptcy and accepted a position as clerk in the local hotel. From that time on complications set in and were multiplied by Abner Ketcham (Louie Nouque). Benny (Kenneth Hays), Abner Ketcham’s nephew, was a super- salesman. ‘lhe parts of the hotel guests were taken by Marquita Goodnight, Doris ‘Thede, Helen Loges, Henrietta Muller, Anna Merle Burns, Aurora Moosios, and Fenton Dean. Other parts were as fol- lows: Martha Mullet, Elsie Gatti; Watkins, Bob Shuman, [Imine Ludine, Betty Clark; Charles Martin, Emelio Cimino; and Tommy Lansing, Ed. Harris. The play was directed by Miss Macon, CE ONTO Re Aas On November 15th the fact we as proven that most every one likes applesauce, or at least the name “Applesauce,” by the large crowd which turned out to see the Junior play. It was directed by Miss Viola Macon, dramatics instructor at the Madera High School. The story of the play was based upon the difficulties of a youn girl to choose between money and je Agaimst the wishes of her parents she chose love and was disowned by them for a time, but later they fell under its spell and she was forgiven. Betty Long played the part of Hazel Robinson, the girl in the play. Worth Van Curen and Helen Barnett played the parts ae Ma and Pa Robinson, her mother and father. Money was represented by Arthur Manasse in the person of Rollo Jenkins, the rejected suitor ; and Marvin Gangbin played the role of Bill McAllister, the “Apple- sauce” artist and Now rer of Hazel. Muriel Gould had the comedy role of Mrs. Jenny Baldwin, a w ailing wife and neighbor of the Robinsons, while the part of Mat Me. Allister, Bill’s stern hard-working uncle, was played by Daniel Hebern. The various conversations throughout the performance were un- usually clever and filled with many comical oe which kept the audience in a constant state of merriment. DRA MEATS CIL IC IB The students of the dramatics classes organized the Dramatics Club this year and Hazel Snell was elected president. Miss Viola Macon was the faculty advisor and dramatic coach. Robert Shuman, Margaret Lease, and Marvin Gangbin were appointed on the play com- mittee and Betty Dearborn and Lee Crosno were appointed on the cast committee. The club produced four plays at private performances which were as follows: “The Kan and Two Candlesticks”, “Bareains in Cathay 3 Foor Aubrey sand “bhank You, Doctor : “The Fan and ‘Two Candlesticks” is the story of a clever coquette (Audrey Denny), who ‘tested the sincerity of her two lovers (Betty Dearborn and Leah Desmond), by the loss of her fan. “Bargains in Cathay” portrays a young poet’s (Marvin Ganebin) ambition to get a copy of his book of poems sold, in order to get his iather’s (Doyle Haney) interest and consent to continue writing poetry. His copies of poems are placed in a book store to be sold by a pretty, young saleslady (Margaret Lease), who plays opposite the young poet. Vhe other characters taking part were Betty Dearborn, Aileen Harder, Lee Crosno, and Holden Scott. “Poor Aubrey” was played by Robert Shuman. He was a middle- aged married man, who thought he needed to wear a toupe that worried him incessantly. Other parts were: His wife, Iola Hamil- ton; his mother-in-law, Muriel Gould; and Mildred Kline, the visitor. “Thank You, Doctor” is a detective story. It is the story of a young woman crook (Hazel Snell) getting possession of a string of pearls through false pretense to a great brain specialist (James Oberti) by getting him to believe she has a young brother whose mind is deranged, and who believes a valuable pearl necklace has been stolen from him. The brother is to come to the doctor’s office in the after- noon for a consultation, but, instead of the brother, a detective (Jerome Mendoza) appears. Needless to say, the crook is apprehended and the detective proves to be a hero. THE RIVER ROAD Oh, the River Road is an aged road, A road of olden days, And many a tale of stolen mail Could the road unfold if its tale were told; For its curves have seen the wicked gleam Of the setting sun on the bandit’s gun, When from wayside brush with sudden rush, And with curses of rage they’d attack the stage. Oh, the River Road is a vagabond’s road, A road of exquisite beauty ; For the wanderlust is in its dust, And it beckons us on at cooling dawn, At noon, at night, at soft twilight; In summer, in fall, we hark to its call: In winter, in spring, ‘tis a joyous thing, And truly seems the road of our dreams! —Aileen ORCHIDS TRA Madera High School is proud of her orchestra, which is composed of the following pieces: Violins, Fenton Dean, Teny Romano, Nello Biancalana, Margaret Van Vleet, Richard Childs, and Jack Des- mond; clarinet, Robert Dearborn; alto saxophone, Billy James; cornet, Mayburn Deavenport; sousaphone, Harrison Pence; piano and bells, Ruth Barnes; piano and double bass, Susie Edgar. Miss Denn, head of the music department, directs the orchestra. Some of the programs at which the orchestra played are as fol- lows: The Junior play, the Alpha Farm Bureau, the Chirstmas pro- eram, the two performances of the operetta, the Educational Week program, the Senior play, and the Commencement [xercises. As it was impossible to take the entire orchestra about in answer to requests for a few musical selections, Miss Denn chose from the orchestra a trio, composed of a saxophone, violin, and piano, to take its place. During the first semester Miss Denn, Billy James, and Tony Romano played in the trio, and the trio for the second semester was composed of Fenton Dean, Billy James and Wilson Grace. Besides the school assemblies, some of the places at which they plaved were a number of the lodges, the luncheon clubs, several of the farm bureau centers and at the Sportsmen’s banquet. OSVO ViILdedadO ae OPERE TTA “Riding Down the Sky” was one of the high lights of the High School this year. Due to the fact that no operetta was presented during the school year of 1928-1929, much enthusiasm was displayed because of its outstanding SUCCESS. The libretto of the operetta was written by Geoffrey Morgan and the music was composed by Geoffrey O'Hara, two contemporary artists of considerable prominence. When the curtain was drawn back on Friday evening, the twenty- eighth of February, the audience found themselves present at a Mex- ican celebration, which was being held in the garden of the president's mansion, in honor of the president’ s daughter, Carmelita (Margaret Lease). ‘Through the conversation was revealed the fact that the small republic was on the verge of a revolution because of its badly crippled financial condition. ©The army, having received no pay for several months, was threatening to desert and Francisco (Louie Nouque), the revolutionary leader, was taking advantage of the situ- ation to further his cause. Amid the gaiety of the festival could be felt an undercurrent of excitement and expected danger. The president (Wilson Grace), hoping to avoid a conflict by obtaining money, with which to pay his army, from Don Jose (john Sciacqua), an elderly, wealthy suitor for Carmelita’s hand, was doing all in his power to make his daughter consent to the marriage. While Don Jose was pleading his case with Carmelita, an air- plane landed close by. In the plane came George McDonald (Dick Rue), an American mining expert; Ben Baker (Marvin Ganebin), a young aviator; and Joshua Scroggins (Mayburn Deavenport), a mechanic. With the arrival of the Americ: ins, Don Jose was compelled to admit defeat, as Carmelita and Ben fell in love at first sight. As the fete progressed, the revolutionists decided the time was ripe for them to strike. They started their deadly work by blowing up the city’s water reserve. ‘he explosion revealed oil deposits, which the Americans leased. ‘lhe first payment on the lease enabled the president to pay off the army and as Francisco was badly injured in the explosion, the revolution came to an end. Other leading roles were taken by Merrill Wootten, Margaret Chamberlin, Anne Sciacqua, and Tony Romano. The stage setting was in charge of William Crooks. ‘The operetta was directed by Miss Denn, whose personality and constant efforts were responsible for making it a most successful production. nD Aa = o fz oa = am itt CHORU S The Chorus is the largest musical group in the High School. During the first semester it was divided into three sections—the Boys’ Glee Club, the Girls’ Glee Club and the Mixed Chorus. The Chorus offers an unusual opportunity for all students to learn group singing, part work, and music appreciation, and to become acquainted with current musical topics. An outstanding feature of the course is the training in solo work which every student receives. A small amount of solo singing is one of the requirements, and students gifted along that line are given special training. Some of the more important programs in which the Chorus took part are as follows: ‘lhe Armistice Day assembly on November I] Zhi, the Christmas program on December 19th, the operetta on lebruary 27th and 28th, and the Baccalaureate and Commencement programs. At the Armistice assembly the chorus sang two songs by O'Hara, “Guns” and “There Is No Death”. The Christmas program was a musical program, presented en- tirely by the chorus with the orchestra accompanying the various selections. It was started by a very impressive and effective proces- sional of girls, who marched in, carrying lighted candles while sing- ing “The lirst Noel”, Other numbers, which were sung by the entire eroup from the platform were: “Holy Night”, “Tt Came Upon a Midnight Clear”, “Joy to the World”, and “In a Monastery Garden”. Duet choruses were sung to some of the numbers by Doris Mhede and C. B. Dean, and by Edra Bondesen and Margaret Lease. A violin solo chorus was played by Fenton Dean. Small groups were chosen from the chorus to assist at various entertainments. ‘here were solos, duets, trios, and quartets. Some of the entertainments at which they sang were as follows: ‘The Arcola and Alpha Farm Bureaus, the American Legion, the Rotary Club, the Lions Club, the Native Sons’ Lodge, the Neighbors of Wood- craft, the Lincoln and Pershing Schools, and the Sportsmen’s Club. High school programs at which they assisted were the [Educa- tional Week program, the Girls’ League programs, Scholarship So- ciety programs, the District Vocational Teachers’ banquet, the I resh- man Class program and numerous assemblies. During the three days which the Chowchilla Tair Tasted, quite a number of the chorus members were called upon to sing over the improvised broadcasting outfit, which made it possible for their voices to be heard from all parts of the fair grounds. The chorus was directed by Miss Annabel Denn. Tae AWN) The band has had its usual successful year and, although not called upon as often this year as it has been in the past, it has given many enjoyable programs. During the football season the ‘band played at a number of the games and assisted considerably in foster- ing school spirit at the two big games of the year, which were played between the home team and Merced. he first game was played in Merced and the second here. A street concert was given in response to a request from the Women’s Improvement Club, which asked the assistance of the band in advertising its show. ‘The band gave a second street concert at the time of the political rally. Although the band is composed this year entirely of boys, it took a prominent part in the girls’ Play Day exercises, by playing for the posture parade, giving a concert on the lawn in the afternoon and playing numerous Selection i in the school auditorium in between times. Other programs at which the band assisted were a program given by the Dixieland Farm Center and the Educational Week pro- gram. Bill Barsotti was appointed student leader and during the course of the year he developed into a capable director. Aside from his musical ability, he is well liked and looked up to by all of the boys in the band, which aids him considerably when leading. A new BB bass sousaphone grand was purchased this year by the school, and a few small instruments were added to the band’s equip- ment as well as some music and a few accessories. The members of the band are as follows: Solo cornets, Bill Barsotti, Mayburn Deavenport, Dwight Birch, and Ray Miles; first cornets, Louie Gomes and Harry Allred; second cornet, Orvil Hannah ; baritone, Racie Dean; trombones, Billy Seabury and James Austin; altos, Herman Leming and Clarence McCallister; alto saxophone and clarinet, Gordon Leyh and Walter Brown; “C” saxophone, D. ‘Turner; soprano saxophone, Robert Daniels; bass, Harrison Pence: drums, Nello Biancalana, Elmer Welch, Roland Klawitter. Several of the members of the band are capable of playing two or more instruments which made it possible to have a well balanced band at all times. The following are some of the selections played in programs : Marches, “Drum Major” � New Colonial”, “First Parade sand 1! Capitan” ; overtures, “Princess of India’, “The Iron Count”, “Choco- late Soldier’, and “Mignonette” DEE SONG OF Diba INis O, you mighty monarch, Standing tall and free, Sing to the tired and lonely world The song you sang to me. Sing of the coming pioneers, The building of the flume, Of the dark and ancient caves Like the orifice of a tomb, Sing the song of the ax, As it hews away on the hill; Sing of the buzz of the saw As it hums in the Sugar Pine mill.

No time was lost in getting started, as Coach Rowe had a number of practice games scheduled. PRACTICE GAMES The first practice game was with ‘Turlock here September 28. The game ended with Madera, 12; ‘Turlock, 0. Selma defeated the locals here 7 to 6 in a raggedly played game. Kerman was taken into camp by the score of 13 to O with subs playing most of the game. ‘The College of Pacific Frosh beat Madera 13 to 6 in the hardest fought contest of the season. Sanger came over with what was reported as a strong team, but was walloped 9 to 0. After the season was officially closed, Merced came down and handed Madera one to the tune of 6 to O. Chowchilla also came down after the season and took another beating from us to the tune of 20 to 0. Leacuk GAMES Merced Game.—lI or the first league game of the year Madera, at least most of Madera, journeyed to Merced with a crippled team, due to the absence of Nouque, her short husky half. Daniels was shifted from end to half where he played a wonderful game for his first time in the backfield. His place was filled by Barsotti, a lanky sophomore, who, playing his first league game, showed up very well indeed. Merced started with a bang and gave our ever hard fighting Coyotes a 15 to O drubbing. Their giant fullback plunged for con- Left to Right—Miles, quarter; Daulton, fullback; Daniels, half; Rue, center; Parkes, half; Nouque, half. sistent gains through the line. His plunging, coupled with his punt- ing and passing, proved to be too much for Madera, Captain Miles played a wonderful defensive game for Madera. Los Banos Game.—With Nouque back in the lineup, Madera started hard, playing a high brand of football. The first team had no difficulty in scoring 20 points and holding the West Siders to nothing, With the second and third teams plavine the last quarter, Los Banos scored two touchdowns. Captain Miles was out of this game because he threw his shoulder out of place in the Merced game. Chowchilla—Madera went to Chowchilla’s sandpile and got a bad score in the first part of the game. Chowchilla completed a pass for a touchdown in the first quarter. Daniels ran a punt back from Madera’s 40 to Chowchilla’s 30 by doing clever broken field running. He then took a pass from Daulton to the one-yard line and on the next play carried it over. The outstanding play of the game was a fifty-five-yard pass from Daulton to Barsotti, who fell over the line for the second and final score. Mariscotti, Madera’s crack right end, received a broken nose in this game. Miles played only a few minutes because of his shoulder. Dos Palos.—The game was played at Dos Palos on a dusty field with Madera using many subs. Miles went in for a quarter and showed his old form, his arm not seeming to bother him. At the close the score was Madera 18, Dos Palos 0. BASKETBALL A AND C CLASS A BASKETBALL Madera class A basketball team from the beginning of the season had hard luck. Parks, Daniels, and Daulton became ineligible be- fore the league opened. In the first practice game they defeated Chowchilla, which later won the league championship. At the middle of the year D, Haney, first string forward, became ineligible; Pickett, guard, pulled a ligament and was out for the rest of the season. Madera’s first league game was with Merced at Merced. ‘The game was anybody’s till the final whistle blew, first Madera and then Merced being in the lead; but Madera took the lead in the last minute of play and Merced was unable to overcome it. This game had to be played over because of ineligibility and again Madera won out in the final minute of play. Madera A team lost to Chowchilla, Los Banos, Livingston; de- feated Merced twice, Mariposa, Le Grand, and ended the season with a bang by defeating Dos Palos, with a squad of only six men, Lettermen were W. W. Smith, Barsotti, Ragnetti, Nouque, Mariscotti, Pickett, Rue, and D. Haney. TIVALAMSYS CEASS B BASKEDBALE With Haney and Aldama back, star forwards from last year’s B team; Snowden and Kufis, forwards, from last year’s ch 1ampionship Cc team; McNally guard irom last year’s C team; and running guards Gangbin from last year’s B team, and Robbins, a new boy from the East, things looked pretty rosy. Gangbin and Robbins shared honors equally, each playing half of each game. The B team developed into a fast, smooth-working combination, In the first practice game they downed the Fresno high team with no trouble. Other victories were won against Kerman and Chowchilla while the Madera boys suffered a defeat at the hands of Fresno ‘lech. The B team walked over everything in the Bi-county until the last game at Dos Palos, defeating Mer ced, Chowchilla, Los Banos, Ie Grand, Livingston, and Mariposa. The Dos Palos game was played on their large slippery court. Dos Palos took the lead early in the game and kept it. The team fought hard and well but were unable to hit the basket. Although Dos Palos won this ¢ game in points they had to forfeit it because they had used an ineligible man all season. This made the B class fellows undisputed winners of the league. Madera entered the semi-finals of the valley against Selma. The game was played on their dirt court, which put Madera at a disad- vantage. Selma won the game in the last few tminutes by a rally the Madera boys couldn't stop. ‘The score was Selma 19, Madera 15. After defeating Madera, Selma won the valley championship. The Madera lettermen are Aldama, Haney, Stefan, Cereghino, Robbins, McNally, Hannah, Perozolli, Kufis, Gangbin, and Venturi. CEA) CeBASken | BAI Under the direction of Coach Wright and the leadership of Captain Brunetti, the C team developed rapidly into a close guarding, but a weak offensive team. The C team, although not winning a great many games, always held their opponents to a “close score. Merced beat them twice by two points. The C team ended the season with a bang by defe: iting Dos Palos in their last game, winning a feed from Coach Wright. Next year things look promising for the C team as they will probably have three men back from this year’s squad. The letter- men were Captain Brunetti, H. McKune, K. Parks, Deavenport, Ber- tozzi, Desmond, and C. B. Dean. ANCTS At the beginning of the season a large number turned out for practice and Coach Rowe discovered unknown material. Barsotti proved a surprise by going 5 ft. 9.5 inches in the high jump, Van Curen in the pole vault, Hunt in the 100-yard dash, Haney in the mile run, and Johnny Brunetti, an all around C class fellow. In the interclass Hunt took second in the 100, finishing a foot behind Shuman and inches behind him in the 220. Van Curen took the pole vault at 10 ft. 9 in., one inch lower than the high school record, Haney took the mile, while Nouque took the 8 0. In the tri-county meet Madera took the B and C class, but dropped the A class. Brunetti broke two C class records. He ran the 75 yards in 8.4 seconds, and broad jumped 18 ft. 2 in. Brown, Parks, Brunetti, and Gomes running the C class 440 relay set a new record. Gomes took first place in the C class discus with a toss of 107 ft. Barsotti of Madera and Phillips of Merced tied for first in the high Wumpror oi o-2o in. Dreakine the old record on a )it. 5.7 5: in: Van Curen took the pole vault at 10 ft. 3 in. from Guy of Merced. Haney ran a nice race in the mile, taking second place. Hunt had hard luck in the 100 when he lost a shoe. Schroeder turned in the best performance of the day when he tossed the javelin 171 ft. 9 in., breaking the old record by 13 ft. 4 in. Lett to Right—Barsotti, high jump; K. Parkes, relay; Brown, 7 and relay; Brunetti, 75, broad jump and relay; Gomez, 75, discus and relay; Schroeder, javelin. Although Class A lost out, things look very promising for next year with a large bunch of this year’s squad back. Coach Rowe entered five men in the West Coast Relays in I resno, Barsotti took fourth in the high jump, Schroeder took fourth in the javelin and Van Curen tied for fourth in the pole vault. ‘This shows up well for these men as many high schools from all over the state were entered. These trackmen and a number of others will compete at Hanford in the Valley meet. MANAGERS The four managers are appointed each year to take care of equip- ment. Managers are very important and must co- operate closely with Coach Rowe. They are entirely responsible — for all equipment used and must see that it is in con- dition when needed. The managers are: Bennett, football: J. Stefan, base- ball; Grace, track; Woot- ten, basketball. BASEBALL A large number of veterans and junior league men reported for practice, but, unfortunately, most of them were out for track also and could not give enough time to both. ‘Che veterans were Barsotti, Mariscotti, Aldama, Ragnetti, Stefan, and Bennett, last year’s captain. The first and only practice game was with I resno ‘Tech at Cali- fornia Field in Fresno. Martin turned in a nice game on the mound, only allowing a few scattered hits, but Madera could not hit the ball to get the runs. The game ended with Fresno 3, Madera 1. lor the first league game, Merced came down and trounced the Coyotes 5 to 2. Martin, on the mound for Madera, allowed Merced nine hits while his teammates gathered eight. Merced gathered two home runs while Madera got one. One error was made during the game. The next week Madera went to Livingston and got trounced— Livingston 13, Madera 2. Madera then went to Le Grand and trounced them 14 to 8. ‘The Coyotes went on a hitting spree and could not be checked. Aldama turned in a nice game on the mound for Madera. Due to the annual going to press before all games: have been played we can not tell you how these will come out. Madera still had a fighting chance for the pennant. GOLI Golf in the high school has been recognized for the past two years as a minor sport and credit must be given to Coach Kk, M. Bar- ager, who made it possible for the boys to receive letters after making a certain number of points. The first year that golf was organized in Madera High Schoo! there were but five golf players in the school. Since that time the number of players increased to eleven. Last year there were five matches of which Madera won two, Too much could not have been expected from so newly an organized team, as they were playing against the more experienced teams. Rue and Gordon are the veterans of the team, for they have been playing during the past four years. Nichols and Bill Shuman, ‘The Little Giants,” are tough customers to play against as they play consistent golf. Dearborn and Venturi may be classed as real golfers, having collected many points to help the team win matches. Senac, a new EenheD is a valuable addition to the Madera team. ‘This was Turner Daulton’s first year on the golf team, and with a little more practice he could have been playing ‘second or third position. The Madera teams competed in the valley championship playoff for high schools held at Visalia on April 2. The Madera teams were fortunate in securing fourth place. TENNIS Due to the condition of the courts, tennis was late in getting started, and lack of practice proved to be a great handicap. At the time of the Bi-county games, which were played at Dos Palos and Los Banos, too few games had been played by the students trying out for tennis to show which players actually were the best fitted to go, so it was up to the Student Coach Wootten and Coach Rowe to pick out the squad. The boys who went out for tennis were: Bill Barsotti, Raynor Parks, Donald McNally, Choppy Wootten, Clark Fee, Raymond McKinley, and Mayburn Deavenport. Fee showed up exceptionally well for a beginner. He went as far as the finals in the Bi-county boys’ singles. Young lee seems to be following in the footsteps of his brother, Floyd, who graduated in 1929, Floyd brought many honors to Madera in tennis. Donald McNally and Bill Barsotti showed up quite well in the boys’ doubles, but here again lack of practice proved fatal. The Madera high school play-off took place in May, but due to the fact that the annual had to go to press before that time the winner ‘whose name was engraved on the cup, presented by Coe Swift in 1929, could not be included in this article. w Z r B is B 3 gy VORLE YY BAIL The volleyball season during the year of 1929-1930 was char- acterized by excellent co-operation on the part of the Madera players, despite the fact that they had but one victory. The first interscholastic game of the season was played with Clovis at Clovis. The Madera girls were defeated by one point. The second defeat was at the hands of Washington Union High School, the final score being 5 to 0 in favor of Washington. At Le Grand the Madera girls won a victory, the score being 5 to 0. Due to the burning down of the Tranquility High School, the final game was postponed two weeks. It was played on the local court. ‘he Tranquility girls were victorious by a score of 3 to 0. The Madera lineup was as follows: Lucia Warburton, Doris Thede, Lorene Litt, Rose Simonian, La Verne Leal, Mary Van Curen. Margaret Copeland, and Betty Dearborn. Substitutes: Margaret Dennis, Jane Hughes, Muriel Gangbin, and Edra Bondesen. Interclass games have always been successful in obtaining rep- resentatives from the respective classes. The games were played with an eagerness which netted much enjoyment for the girls. Vollyball has had a successful season, and we look forward with eagerness to next year. VALS CED IE TR YATE IS The first game of the season was a victory for Madera against the Itresno Young Women’s Christian Association. “The final score showed Madera 37 against the Fresno team’s 36. On January 24, a return match was played in Fresno which proved disastrous to the Madera girls as they lost by a score of 14 to 32. The Four C’s girls were the next to defeat Madera here. On February 6, Madera journeyed to Le Grand where two games were played, the first team winning, 24-18, the second being de- feated, 11-27. For a return match, Le Grand came to Madera on February 21. Madera’s first team carried the day, 20-13, and the second team was defeated, 9-32. On March 5, the teams went to Dos Palos where they were defeated, 15-34, 11-17. The first team consisted of: Jumping center, D. Thede: running center, M. Van Curen; forwards, D. Loges and M. Gangbin; guards, B. Dearborn and G, Cline. Second team: Jumping center, L. Warburton; running center, E. Bondesen; forwards, M. Copeland and jeebeal-sottardssbesleaimenr, ds Schulte andeley Witt. Third team: Jumping center, L. Sphar: running center, V. Web- ster; forwards, M. Burns and E. Smith; guards, M. Davis and H. Franchi. Coach Merwin had many good prospects this season with which to build her team. Aside from many new students, several girls from last year’s team came out again for baseball. They were: Mary Van Curen, La Verne Leal, Margaret Copeland, Doris Thede, and Rose Simonian. After considerable difficulty she decided on the follow- ing squad: Pitcher, La Verne Leal; catcher, Mary Van Curen; first base, Margaret Copeland; second base, Doris Thede; third base, Theda Schulte; left short stop, Dorothy Reasonover ; right short stop, Muriel Gangbin; left fielder, Rose Simonian; center fielder, Loeta Sphar; right fielder, Mae Davis; the subs were Jetti Moseley, Helen Franchi, and Betty Palmer. The score keeper at the respective games was Margaret Dennis and the umpire was John Humphreys. Four games were played. The first game was against Livingston at Livingston, the score being 13-8 with the opposing team as victor. The games with Los Banos, Dos Palos, and Le Grand were played after the Purple and White went to press, and the scores could not be printed. Interclass baseball, as usual, created much interest among the girls, and over eighty tried out for the various class teams. The interclass games were outstanding in good fellowship. TENNIS Tennis 1s an all-year-round sport, but in the Spring we find more interest in it than at any other time of the year The student coach appointed for the Spring se ason of 1930 was “Choppy” Wootten. The girls who went out for tennis were: Vivian Johnson, Mary Van Curen, La Verne Leal, Mary Tognotti, Dorothy Loges, and Margaret Scribner. Lack of practice was a big drawback in the Bi-county games which were played at Dos Palos and Los Banos. “Choppy” Wootten and Vivian Johnson played mixed doubles in the Bi-county game at Dos Palos and lost with the scores of 6-3, 3-6, and 4-6. Early in May, the tennis tournament, which decided the winner whose name was to be placed on the trophy cup which Coe Swift pre- sented the school in June, 1929, came to a close. Even these were played after this copy went to press, and we are sorry we couldn't print the score. There has been an unusual interest in interclass tennis this year and the winner of the various classes played agairist each other. ‘The final winners were as follows: T'reshman, Mattie Moss; Sophomore, Jackie Leal; Junior, Vivian Johnson; Senior, Mary Van Curen, ‘The final winner was yet to be decided.

But if I was to ask a natural born orator, he would answer this way. “Tf you take two digits of the first order and add them to two more digits of the same order, I can assert without the fear of suc- cessful contradiction, and with the whole science of mathematics to back me in this assertion that it makes four” That’s what I call a natural born orator.

The home team for years had loved the visitors like an elephant loves mice. It was a beautiful spring day; the birds were twittering in the branches of the ancient live oaks; the green grass cov- ered the ground like a soft carpet of burlap; the wild flowers waving in a gentle breeze seemed to remind us of a plate of steaming spaghetti. The gale had just begun and the sun was well past its zenith, and on its down- ward journey through the azure blue skies to the horizon. It was a hard fought game. Through- out, the conflict was tighter than a Pullman car window. The teams were as even as two pieces of string. The home team was at bat. The batter stepped up to the old plate and the twister hurled the little old crab apple as straight as a corkscrew right into the catcher’s pillow. Old Joe Pitch had as many curves as Zeigtfeld’s chorus. He walked the first man. Whoosis, at bat next, lifted a fly that was higher than a diamond necklace at Tiffany’s. ° 0 ee) a a ae a) ee ee, BUDDIE CAFE SADIE ON THE HIGHWAY When You Can’t Eat at Home BAL WIT OS P ) a) (a (| a ¢ ) ) a ¢) ¢ ) | a « ) () (|) | |) Dg ° 2, 2s 201) SO 1) () SD) () SD ED te BUY A FORD FOR COMFORT— ECONOMV— CLASS— SPEED— ENDURANCE SHUMAN NICHOLS TERMS mo 0 0 0 9 9 1) SD) ND |) NE 0 | a) a |) |) ee |) |) |) (|) |) |) |) () (+ °° e res 2s POLLO SOE) DD) () DD (0% ¢ It descended into the hands of the right fielder who couldn’t peg the old horse- hide any farther than he could kick an anvil. The umpire, who was as blind as an earthworm in a London fog, called it a foul ball. The next batter rolled the little old sphere right down to the third baseman, who couldn’t catch a cold in Siberia. The runner slid into second like an eel on a wet slate root and was sate as a quart of grape juice at a college prom. At the last of the ninth inning, the home team was at bat again. The stands, which were as crowded as a sophomore’s runabout, were howling like a pack of lop-eared bloodhounds. With the bases full, the pinch-hitter got up to plate and clouted the litlte old horsehide out for a non-stop flight. The home team got more runs than a pair of silk hose in a bramble patch.
