PURPLE s Wh IN MEMORIAM Yet, O stricken heart, remember, O remember How of human days she lived the better part. April came to bloom and never dim December breathed its killing chills upon the head or heart. Doomed to know not winter, only Spring, a being Trod the flowery April blithely for a while, Took her fill of music, joy of thought and seeing, Came and stayed and went, nor ever ceased to smile. âRobert Louis Stevenson. | Mildred Kline December 14, 1913âSeptember 26, 1930 PYRPLe § Wh CARRYSON TO SUCCESS Greatness is not an element in itself. It is but the composite result of many little things extremely well done and well put together.âN. C. Fowler, Jr. To carry on by continued striving is the only sure way to success. High school is where the ability to carry on is learned. Text-books can not teach one to carry on; yet the ability to do so is learned by striving to reach a point higher than before in everything that is done. Many things must be overcome in order to be able to carry on, These are impatience, laziness, too easy satisfaction with things as they are, and the wasting of oneâs time. These things can be over- come by learning to be patient, always to find something to do, and to keep striving for something better. A person who has learned to carry on will meet failure, armed with optimism. Failure is only a knock-down and not a knock-out. Only those who lack determination stay down when they are floored by failure. That determination to get up and come back fighting is what we call âcarrying onâ. Failure should be a stimulus to push one on to greater achievements. A complete knowledge cannot be learned in school. Those who are successful are those who have worked while their neighborsâ minds were vacant or occupied with passing trivialities, who have been acting while others have been wrestling with indecision. They h ave tried to read all that has been written about their craft; they are those who have learned from their fellow-craftsmen and the masters, and profited thereby; who have gone about with their eyes open, noting the good points of other peopleâs work, and considering how it might be done better by themselves. Thus they have lifted themselves above medio- crity, and in striving to do things the best they could, have educated themselves in the truest manner. The four years of high school may seem long, but, when we think that knowledge is a bank of wealth never to be overdrawn no matter how much we check against it, we see what treasure unremitting effort and patience have brought us. = Nallliatimn Crookswmoll Ges THE PURPLE AND WHITE STARE With the hearty co-operation of the Senior Class, the drive for the sale of Purple and Whites was very successful, and, as a result, the work on the year book got away with a flying start. A committee of five teachers selects six students from the Senior Class each year as nominees for editor and business manager. âT'he editor and business manager are then selected from the six nominees by popular vote of the seniors. The remainder of the staff is selected by the editor with the approval of the faculty committee. The selections are based on the studentâs record for his or her work during the first three years of high school. âTheir selection takes in the studentâs com- mand of English, ability, initiative and dependability. It is interesting to note that for the past four years either the valedictorian or the salutatorian has been a member of the Purple and White staff. IN APPRECIATION The staff of the 1931 Purple and White wishes to express its appreciation of the co-operation given it, in the publication of this book, by th e members of the Student Body, the Madera business men, and all those who aided in making this book a success A special word of thanks is given to Barcroft Barcroft. and Skaggs-Safeway Store, to Miss Elizabeth Stoddard and Mrs. Bonita Maloy, and to Park's Studio.

The first semester, only twenty-one students were members, but the membership in the second semester increased to forty-eight, which is the largest membership the Madera Chapter has ever had. On November 8, 1930, there was a convention of the chapters of the twentieth district at Sanger. Erman Mitchell and Clayton Claw- son, Maderaâs representatives, learned a great deal of the methods used by other chapters of the San Joaquin Valley in their work. A party was held in the cafeteria on March 13, 1931. Only the members were invited to attend. The party was a success in every way, the various committees working hard to put it over. Dancing and games were very much enjoyed by everyone. Another district convention was held at Washington Union High in March. Vivian Johnson and Dorothy Cobb represented Madera. A committee composed of Mary Pence, Dorothy Jones, and Dor- othy Cobb selected a play entitled âLet's Move the Furnitureâ, which was put on in the auditorium. âThe following students were in the cast: Elwood Ennis, Marjorie Daniel, Robert Boles, Fred Williams, Irque Black, and Victoria Avila. This play was about a woman who collected antique furniture and her husband who despised her hobby. The dis- like for the furniture became so great that finally, when his wife was away, he hired two burglars to steal it. There were many humorous situations in the play which were caused by slight misunderstandings. On April 11 and 12, the state convention was held at Palo Alto, at the Palo Alto High School. Miss Shetler accompanied about ten of the members to the convention. âThe students visited Stanford University, and everybody agreed that they had a wonderful time. The official delegates were: Fred Williams, Dorothy Cobb, Vivian Johnson, and Elwood Ennis. Mary Pence, Victoria Avila, Marjorie Daniel, and Harriet Forrest were unofficial delegates. Throughout the whole year, the members were entertained by travel talks and fine musical programs. Gold Seal graduates this year were: Vivian Johnson, Dorothy Cobb, Mary Pence, Alfrieda Grace, Frances Ann Clawson, Marjorie Daniel.

Thompson Second Semester A new organization came into existence this vear under the super- vision of Mr. Thompson. âThis was the Boysâ Federation, which had been considered for many years, but up until this year there was not enough interest among the boys. The executive committee of the federation was made up of the following boys: William Barsotti, Donald McNally, Walter W. Smith, William Crooks, Richard Rue, and Sidney Epstein. The main purpose of organizing this body was to promote better fellowship and co-operation between all the boys in the student body. It also gave the boys a fine chance to hear interesting talks on various subjects of interest outside of school affairs. During the course of the year, Mr. Taylor gave a series of talks on the fundamentals of education, which proved very interesting to the boys. Miss Susan B. Hough gave a talk on her trip to Europe. Later in the year, J]. C. Penney gave a talk on his vagabond trip over the United States. Music for the meetings was usually furnished by high school talent.

Stoddard The high school journalism is becoming popular and is being recognized more than ever before. Representatives were sent to two conventions this year; âlhe California Scholastic Press Convention, which was held at Stanford on November 12, and the Journalism con- vention, which was held at Fresno State College on December 16. Jackie Leal and Pearl Root were Maderan delegates to the first convention. William Crooks and Walter Ficklin represented the Purple and White, and Miss Linderholm acted in the capacity of chaperon. Edra Bonde- sen, Margaret Lease, Lynn Goodnight, Elwood Ennis, and Miss Stod- dard represented Maderaâs Journalism Department at Fresno. The Maderan had a good staff to back the paper up this semester. Those on the staff were: Walter W. Smith, Donald McNally, Art Mariscotti, John Brunetti, Jackie Leal, Walter Pfister, Margaret Lease, Ruby David, Elwood Ennis, Lillian Ohanian, Flora Muller, and Edra Xondesen. Girar Avakian, as cartoonist, did excellent work on cuts. A special number was dedicated to Coach Wood and his football Squad. âThe Maderan was graded with the rank of â2â this year by the California Scholastic Press Association. PNIRPLe 8 Wh MADERAN, SECOND SEMESTER STAFF Business Managers Advisor The second semester journalism class was handicapped by lack of funds. âThe students of Madera High (many of them) economized during the period of depression by not buying student body tickets. As a consequence, the Maderan fund was smaller than usual. The journal- ism students succeeded in putting out a very good âhard timesâ Ma- deran. The only cuts used were those that could be borrowed. âThe articles themselves were attractive, however. Marjorie Daniel wrote a running story about the new high school and the changes in the old one, This was much appreciated. Other new features were a âBe- lieve It or Notâ column by Johnny Sciacqua and âââName Meaningsâ by Esola Martinelli. One outstanding feature of the second semester Maderan was the Innocent Bystander column. âThis column was conducted two years ago by K. M. Barager. He came back by request and furnished much amusement as usual. Miss Mildred Lee Brownâs dramatic class put on a pay assembly for the benefit of the Maderan fund, presenting a play called âPrinterâs Inkâ, which was based upon newspaper hist.

There are about 150 girls in the Athletic Association. When you think that there are 250 girls in school you can see that a large number turn out for sports. This year, Mrs. Borba of the Art and Gift Shop in Madera, pre- sented to the winning interclass volleyball team a silver loving cup. fnegraved on the cup was the date of the award, by whom, the winner of the cup, which was the Junior Whites, and the year, â32.

This award, made by Mrs. Borba gives the girls another incen- tive to play well, also increasing the interests in volleyball. The cup was placed in the trophy case in the instructor's office in the gymnasium. During the basketball season this year, the Madera girls made such a good impression upon the Raymond girls that they thanked Mader1 by writing a letter. The letter was done up in such an elaborate form, Miss Merwin had it framed and it now hangs in the coachâs office. The cirls of Madera appreciated the way in which Raymond thanked them very much and it certainly shows sportsmanship on Raymondâs behalf. Many awards were made during the year, consisting of circle âM'sâ, which require 300 points in the system of awarding in the or- ganization, block â Mâsâ, which take 500 points, winged âM'sâ, which require 1000 points, and sweaters, which is the biggest and best award of all and requires 1400 points. Last year there was only one girl to receive a sweater but during the semester °31, several were awarded. The Girlsâ Athletic picnic was held at the usual place this year, Fresno Crossing, on May 23. âThe girls had more fun than ever and they hope Fresno Crossing will be the place for their picnic next year. The Girlsâ Athletic Association was responsible for the arranging of a game between women faculty members and the girlsâ basketball third team. âThe second and first teams played Baragerâs Bearettes two games. âThe girls lost to the teachers and lost the first game to the Bear- ettes. June Martin, Mary Van Curen, Verna Van Curen, Aileen Butler, Doris Thede, and Genevieve McKinley played on Mr. Baragerâs team. PURPLE 8 While DEBATING Madera High's debating team this year was slightly handicapped at the start of the season due to the fact that Mr. V. Spencer, who was coaching the team, accepted a position at Santa Ana two weeks before the initial debate. This left the position open, and Mr. H. A. Vollborn accepted it. With but two weeks in which to prepare the subject, which was: âResolved, that the Present Methods of Commercial Ad- vertising are Detrimental to the Best Kconomic Interests of the United States Peopleâ, Maderaâs debators fought their way through the Selma, Roosevelt, and Clovis debates to gain the semi-final round. The semi-finals found Madera and âTranquility matched. âThe question being: âResolved, that the United States Should Immediately lixtend Official Recognition to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.â An evening debate was held in Madera in which the Madera athrma- tive team composed of Sidney Epstein and Fred Williams, lost by four points. Meanwhile, the Madera negative team, made up of Frances Ann Clawson and Lucia Warburton, scored a smashing victory over Tranquility at Tranquility, winning by nineteen points and putting Ma- dera in the finals with Reedley. Reedley proved too strong for Madera and won both debates, taking the final honors. DURVLe LIBRARIANS Interest in library work is growing each year. With each term more students apply for the positions of library assistants. âTwo years ago, all the assistants were girls, but boys have begun to take an inter- est in this kind of work. During the past year there were six boys working in the library. They proved to be very efficient and liked the work. Mr. West, who directs the library work, teaches the librarians to mend torn books and how to find references. For this work, they receive two and a half credits each term. The library boasts of a hundred new books which have been added during the year 1930-31. They are mostly fiction and biography, which are in special demand for book reports. Besides being of value for actual school work, these books are always available for home read- ing, and they really supply the students with worth while reading. A new set of the American Encyclopedia has been added as well as a set of Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia. The library is very proud of both sets. They are.a great help to all students for reference work. The library was used as a senior class meeting room. It is also reserved as a junior and senior study hall. The lower classes can use the library at any time for reference work upon presenting a slip to the library assistant from the study hall teacher. PURPLE s Wh IRINA, QL LGB The Rifle Club is now in its fourth year of existence. During the past years many excellent marksmen have been developed, but due to the graduation of many of the members, interest during the first semester of the present year was not very great. Late in the fall of 1930, President Orlo Owens and Secretary Dwight Birch brought the club back to life, and although there were not so many candidates for the team as in previous years, those who did shoot turned out some very high scores. During the second semester, William Wright was secured as team coach to assist K. M. Barager, the executive officer, and the club was re-organized. The rifle team was entered in the national matches and did fairly well, but the principal interest during this semes- ter was the intermural series between four teams, led by Dwight Birc h, Harold House, Eldridge Camy, and Vance Allen, respectively. In this local series the winning team had the privilege of keeping the rifles during the summer months. The competition was very keen and con- tinued until the close of school. Many members of the club qualified as marksmen and_ sharp- shooters, and earned rifle team letters by acquiring the necessary points. Those who earned letters during the past semester were: William Wright, Dwight Birch, Vance Allen, and Harold House. Cafeteria Girls CAFETERIA The cafeteria girls provided attractive and appetizing lunches for the students this year under the direction of Miss Metzler. From early morning until after one o'clock, somebody was busy in the cafeteria cooking room. âThe girls also took charge of the receipts each day, and the money was turned in to Miss McSwe eeney. The girls prepared and servec d the banquet which was given for the agricultur al Oe of the valley on February 21. COOKING CLASSES The beginners cooking classes, under the supervision of Mrs. Ann Murphy, had several luncheons. They assisted the cafeteria in any work which needed to be done. It is in this class that students get the training to take cafeteria cooking, so you can see it is very important. A new class of cooking was added to Madera High's schedule. It was camp cookery for boys. The class was taught third and fourth periods in the cooking room in the gymnasium by Mrs. Freida Murphy. The boys learned much in this course, and although it was only for be- ginners, upper class boys desired to take it. PURPLE 8 Wh IRANI ILO) CIAL U8} Due to the ever increasing interest in radio, Keith Daulton, under the guidance of Mr. Sheldon, organized a radio club at the high school early in the fall term. One thing which helped to keep the interest of the boys who signed up for this activity was the possibility of eventually getting permission from the Federal Radio Commission to broadcast from the high school over a short wave length. The meetings are held during activity period, Keith Daulton, the leader in the club, has had considerable ex- perience in broadcasting from his own station, which is located at the Daulton ranch, called number W6EPQ. He has never had more power than thirty watts, but has communicated with thirty-seven states, twenty-three stations in Canada, one in Australia, two in New Zealand, two in the Hawaiian Islands, and one on a Canadian ship. This ship station was not a legal station as it had an outlaw call, XUSWA. The letters XU do not stand for any country. Messages over Keithâs radio are not guaranteed to arrive, but they usually reach their destination. Amateurs are not allowed to charge for messages, and therefore all messages were free. If the interest in radio work continues and sufficient boys become qualified to operate a station, it is likely that steps will be taken to make this ambition of the club a reality. The following students were interested in this work: Keith Daul- ton, Wallace Davis, Orin Phillips, Carson Nohrnberg, Calvin Jones, Milton Bergantz, and Walter Ficklin. The above picture is of Keith Daulton at work in his ranch sta- tion. The extent of his equipment can be seen in this picture. We hope the Radio Club will be a permanent organization.

RENN PNRPLE § WinCE HISTORY OF FOOTBALL IN MADERA Football was introduced in Madera at the time when men were men and the ladies were ladies and knew it. It was in those dark days of football in 1902, that the great game was introduced in Madera Union High School. It was before the days that Walter Camp re- vised football that Madera first tasted this wonderful sport. âThose were the days of the famous flying wedge, the greased player, and other tactics equally good in laying the opposition low. The style of football played at that time was not the type for any- one but the strongest to play. A man was not a hero unless he had played the whole game and then was confined to his bed for the next two days with various bruises, and possibly a broken bone or two. Football, then, took for its motto, âLet the strongest survive and the weak fall by the wayside.â The first team Madera had was in 1902, and it was captained by Kenneth Hughes. They played American football in all its roughness and man-killing tactics, and they thrived. They were men. In 1903, Raynor Daulton was captain. Football was then dropped until 1906, because of the feeling that had been aroused against it. In 1906, with the late Roy Hall as captain, football was again taken up. Frank Brown, who was killed while serving in the army of occupation after the World War, was captain of the 1907 team. Those who played on the 1907 team, as shown in the picture, were from left to right in the top row: Clay Daulton, John Franchi, Dr. W. C. Reid, Coach F. W. Talcott, the late Shirley Wilson, Dr. Chester Vander- burgh, Howard Clark; center, Frank Desmond; front row, Roy Scott, J. Wesley Smith, the late Frank Brown, Hallie Gleason, and Harry Ross. The high school team was not per- mitted to play on Sundays. In order to secure money to keep their team, they played as a town team on Sundays. The team played and practiced on Yo- semite Avenue, in the mud usually, be- cause it rained in Madera in those days. ms : [hey nrst Oppo mod the Madera John Franchi, Raynor Daulton, team had was the Army, which stopped Paolo Autrand 1907 Football Team here while enroute to Yosemite Valley. âThe soldiers were, on an average, much older and larger men, and so Madera usually came out on the short end of the score. The first teams of Madera rarely had more than one substitute; if they had one, they were lucky. American football was dropped after 1907 until Howard L,. Rowe came in 1920. Rugby was played for one year, that being in 1912. Two games were played, one with Lindsay and the other with Fresno High. Madera defeated Lindsay, but lost to Fresno. Rugby did not seem to take the place of football, so it soon died out. When Mr. Rowe came in 1920, football, came into its own again. Considering the opposition, Madera did well in winning three out of seven games played. This was before the days of the Bi-county league and the annual game with Merced. The next two years there was nothing of note done in football, but in 1923, Madera came into its own by trouncing their opponents wherever they went; 368 points were scored by Madera to their op- ponentsâ 63. âThe team that year was led by Carlton Wood, the present Coach of Madera High School. The season of 1924 was not very successful. This was due to the many injuries throughout the fall. Madera was defeated for the first time by Merced. YYRMUe s WhICE Under the leadership of Francis McNally, winner of the Frank Gwyer trophy for the most valuable player on the St. Maryâs team in 1930, Madera captured the Bi-County championship and went as far as the semi-finals in the San Joaquin Valley championship. Lemoore, a much heavier team, defeated Madera. Madera won from Merced for the last time in 1926. Madera has had many good teams, but Old Man Injury has shown his head above the horizon always before the Merced game to keep Madera from a vic- tory. It has been foreseen by our prophets that Merced is now in for several years of defeat in the Big Game. âWilliam Crooks. THE OLYMPIC GAMES The foundation of the Olympic Games is said to be the result of a challenge made by Hercules, the eldest of five brothers, to a race for a crown of wild olives. Hercules arranged the games to be held every five years. Not much is known, however, of these games until a de- scendant of Hercules erected an altar at Olympia to his ancestor, and promoted games there. Not long after the re-introduction of these eames, this descendant of Hercules was dethroned, and the kingdom was in the hands of a man named Aethlius, who did not wish to reign in person; so he promised his kingdom to whichever of his sons should excel in running at the Olympic Games. The games flourished and died, according to the interest taken in them by various rulers. Chariot races were always the big events of the games, along with running and discus throwing. It was the cus- tom for the master of the gymnasium, where the athletes trained for thirty days, to offer sacrifices to the memory of Actolus, an ancient athlete. Years later, the people of Greece were subject to a plague, and their ruler consulted an oracle, who was supposed to give him the divine message, telling what he was to do for his people. He was told to re- vive the Olympic Games. Little was known of the old Greek customs, but gradually mem- ories were awakened, and in the year 776 B. C., the games were firmly established. At first there was only one judge, but later it became necessary for more to act in that capacity. The number of judges increased until in the 75th Olympiad there were nine. lhe ancient Grecian games were all of religious character, and all were treated with the greatest solemnity and due rites. It was a great OYRPLe 8 WHICE honor to be allowed to compete in the games because it was a sign of exceptional fitness, moral, mental, and physical. âIhe games were said to be under the direct supervision of the Olympic god, Zeus, before whose statue the athletes made their prayers for victory. The games were similar to the events we have now, with the ex- ception of the many kinds of chariot races. Cleanliness was considered next to godliness, and oaths were taken that there would be absolutely no cheating. âhe games were attended with much pomp and splendor, and were concluded with feasting and merry-making. In A. D. 394, the games were suppressed, but in 1892, they were revived by a sportsman, Baron Pierre. His main object was to send athletes on tours of foreign countries in order that they might get a wider knowledge of the methods employed by the best athletes through- out the world. In January, 1894, an international conference was held in regard to the revival of the Olympic Games. It was agreed that every country should celebrate the Olympic Games in turn, and that Greece should have first place. In order to make it more international, an inter- national committee is appointed, with the president of the committee appointed from the country in which the games are to be held. There was much reconstruction work to be done in Athens. The old arena was almost ruined, and preparations had to be made to accommodate the huge crowd which the publicity of the newspapers had assured them. A beautiful new stadium was built and finally the great time came when once again the Olympic Games were to hold full sway. It was Monday after Easter, April 6, 1896; the streets of Athens were filled with crowds from all the nations of the world: and the stadium was crowded. All during the games there was merry-making. From the very first, the success of the Olympic Games was assured. It was a well-balanced contest, since nearly every country had at least one victory to her credit. America won, with nine events. The prizes were an olive branch from Olympia, a diploma, and a medal. âThe second Olympic was held in Paris in 1900, but because of the fact that there was not much interest or publicity in regard to the games, they were not a huge success. The Olympic Games of 1904, were held in St. Louis, Missouri, U, 5S. A. They were very successful. YYRPLE § Wihillce London and Stockholm were the places where the fourth and fifth games were held, and the sixth game was scheduled to be held in Berlin in 1916, but about that time the war came, and it was postponed. The seventh Olympic was held in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1920, and the eighth in Paris in 1924. They were both very successful. The ninth Olympic was held three years ago in Amsterdam, Holland. In this contest, the United States carried off most of the honors, the University of California at Berkeley, winning world honors at crew work, Next year, 1932, the Olympic Games are to be held in our own California, in Los Angeles. The winter sports, however, are to be held in the East, but most of the events will be held here in the West. Such is the history of the Olympic Games. May the future games continue to bring clear values to the nations of the world. âMargaret Chamberlin. A MODERN MYTH One summerâs day, thousands of years ago, the Egyptian god, Ra, was sunning himself on the veranda of his palace at Alexandria Beach. idly turning his thoughts to one and then another of his guests. First and most important was his old friend, Ket, god of fisher- men. Ket was an inveterate sportsman, and was always figuring out some way to amuse everybody; in other words, he was the life of the party. Then there were the other two guests no less important: Ten, goddess of canoeing, and Nis, goddess of the Amazon. Nis had the physical build of a man but was endowed with all the beauty that Venus could bestow upon a sister goddess. Down on the beach before the palace, Ket and Nis were swinging a long fish net round and round, while Ten was jumping rope. Just to tease them, Ra from his chaise longue tossed an inflated pig bladder. called a ball and used in those days for games, at the trio on the beach. Much to the surprise of everyone, the ball hit on the sands dir ectly over the fish nets in the face of Ten, who, in self defense, hit it high in the air and it came down on the other side of the fish net and bounced again. ss tnelkaemenieduicern le hav erarceminolmanoneatidedi ina ecOnie down here and help us. We are going to invent a new game.â So Ra went down on the beach, aroused by the antics of the trio on the PURPLE s Wilde sand. Under the general supervision of Ket, who was always at his best when devising some new scheme for pleasure or entertainment, they made two piles of stones about thirty feet apart and fastened the fish net between them. Thus they made a fence about four feet high. âNow,â said Ket, âRa, you and Ten get on this side, and Nis and | will play on the other side and we will see who can hit the ball farthest over the net.â At first they were laughing so hard that they could not get the ball over with much success. After a few minutes of hitting the ball, it was beginning to hurt their hands. Suddenly Ten exclaimed in triumph and glee, âI have it! We will take some paddles from the canoe and hit the ball with these.ââ No sooner said than done, and thus came the creation of the great game which has come down through the ages. Ra, with his wisdom and calm judgment, devised a system of scor- ing and marking the sand with a stick so the ball must be kept within certain bounds. As the four had wearied themselves with playing, they retired to the veranda for coca colas. ââNow,â said Ket, âwhat shall we call our new game?â âWell,â said Ra, âin courtesy to our fair guests, let us put their names together and call it tennis.â Whereupon their game was chris- tened after Ten, the goddess of canoes, and Nis, the goddess of the  Amazon. Flattered by the compliment paid them, the two goddesses talked | together in low tones, and later returned smiling. âNow,â said Ten, | âsince you have given us the honor of naming your new game for us, we wish to return the compliment and we have decided to call our paddles by a new name. From now on, these paddles, when used to | play tennis, will be called rackets. Today, 1931, we still have tennis played with rackets, âVivian Johnson. A FRESHMAN GIRLâS VERSION OF A FOOTBALL GAME As the eve for graduation drew near, Eileen, a dignified senior, | began to feel lonesome as all seniors do, lonesome for the little Eileen who had entered high school four years previous. Looking in the | mirror, she could see no trace of the little girl with curls down her back PURPLE WIC who had attended her first football game, greatly thrilled and hardly knowing what it was all about. âThinking back, it was funny to remember how she had dressed with such care in her very best dress, and, on arriving at school, had been greatly amazed to find others not similarly arrayed for the game. In fact, she felt a wee bit out of place, but being thrilled, she wasn't going to let a little thing like a party dress spoil her First Big Game. It was with a sigh of relief that she rushed from her last class room to her book locker and then rushed out to the bleachers. On arriving she could find no seat to suit her, so decided to stand up on the grand stand platform until told to sit down by several angry spectators, whose view she was blocking. Again searching for a seat, she found that the only one available was at the very top, so she climbed over those in her way to get to it. When the game started, the kick-off was terrible, but Fileen thought it good and screamed at the top of her lungs, much to the dis- gust of her classmates. For a while she was kept compa ratively quiet until someone in the crowd yelled, âBoot the pigskin.â Fileen had never heard this expression before, and thinking it meant a real live pig instead of the ball, immediately stood up and wanted to know who had uttered such a remark. Didnât he know there was a rule against cruelty to animals? She said she would cer- tainly see to it that whoever said it should be reported. She was grow- ing more angry all the time, and to quiet her was a hard thing to do. One of her classmates finally quieted her and explained that it was the ball and not a live pig that they had wanted booted. Feeling rather foolish, Eileen sat down. After her last remark, she thought it best not to talk so much, She was actually behaving finely when a boy from the other team threw a pass. It was fumbled and one of Maderaâs boys got it. At this she again stood up as angry as ever. She had never imagined people could cheat in a football game, even if the player had been one of Maderaâs. She had seen him take the ball away from the other fellow with her own eyes; and if she had ceen him, other people must have. She felt the shame of the whole school resting on her shoulders and said she could hardly stand to think they could do such a thing. The game was then explained to her by a very patient classmate. Little by little she was learning about football. but as yet she hadnât learned it all. About this time they began selling hot dogs, so Eileen decided to buy one. She was eating away very quietly, when all of a sudden she 83 WAUERA COUNTY FREE LIBRARY MAD PNIRPLE 8 WHICE saw something that nearly made her swallow her whole bun. Could you imagine the nerve of a player, who just decided he was tired of playing? He had lain right down in the middle of the field and re- fused to budge. Finally someone had to carry him off the field. She didnât know players were allowed to do such things. Another thing that puzzled her was the way people were cheering him. She certainly couldnât see anything to cheer about. Oh, well! football seemed to be an odd game anyway. Ina few minutes the game was over, and Eileen was leaving, much to the joy of everyone. All of them were ready to choke her. Fileen went home a very tired, but happy girl. This had been a wonderful day for her. She had thought the game most interesting and exciting, even if she didnât know the final score. âKathryn Hawkins. MeOH VIED CMAN ES Sea edie Oh! for the athlete who is loyal and true, Who never gets tired, discouraged, or blue; Whose every thought is his schoolâs fame; Who plays his best in every game. Working and training day after day, He learns perseverance the athleteâs way. When defeat looks him square in the face, He scrapes up new courage to win the next race. Pleasure and pastimes he oft must forego, For an athleteâs health must be perfect you know. Winning and losing he works on the same, For his head must keep small despite all his fame. So! for the spirit of athletes true, We know all through life it will carry them through. ym, yoy, © ID i âyy we y a « os %, SSS iy LY fly, TUMLYpMie Y, | Yih, GT 7 â f c WSK SSsg =âd | My Wy yi 4 j 4 q ie j ve SSS SS SSS SN SS ONIRPLE Wl SBNIORS REA Y The Senior Play this vear was âBig Timeâ, which had as its theme the annual review of a high school. âThe story was based upon the pro- duction of âDriftwoodâ, a one-act play, written by Miss Redmond, Marie Poe, for the review. Unknown to the cast, this play was the story of Miss Redmondâs life. Nancy, Marjorie Daniel, was given a place in the chorus, much against the desires of Beth, Dorothy McClellan, who had the leading part in the one-act play. When Miss Redmond refused to remove Nancy, at her request, Beth refused to continue with the play. Her part was then given to Nancy. âDriftwoodâ was based upon the return of Jim Hardy, Jr., Richard Rue, to the home of his father, Fred Williams, and his capture by the policemen, Donald McNally and Ed Harper. A bit of comedy was added by Null and Void, Jerome Mendoza and Harry Allred. Other members of the cast were: Vinnie Webster, Joan; Gertrude Thomas, Carmel: Dorothy Loges, Lena; Anne Sciacqua, Mary; Mar- garet Chamberlin, Pauline; Muriel Gould, Harriet; James Obert, âHerculesâ Brown; Renald Mastrofini, Harry, a magician; Robert Boles, Dr. Bleedem; Sidney Epstein and Worth Van Curen, stage manager and assistant, respectively. The play was directed by Miss srown. PYRPLe § Whi JUNIOR PLAY The Junior Play this year was a sparkling comedy, âNew Broomsâ. Thomas Bates, Sr., Clayton Clawson, turned the management of his broom factory over to his son, Tom, Jr., Mayburn Deavenport. Tom, Jr., thought that a factory could be run by being obliging and kind to people and he attempted to prove it. The agreement with his father gave Young Bates complete control for one year. At the end of the year he was as grouchy and disagree- able as his father had been. Father and son then became partners in business, both understanding each other for the first time, Florence, Angela Noli, âTom's fiancee, dropped Tom for George Morrow, Bill Barsotti, her cousin. Tom then, for the first time, began to notice Geraldine Marsh, [loree Williams, their pretty young house- keeper. In the end, of course, they were married. The other couple which took a prominent part in the play was Ethel, Katheryn Wilson, Tom's sister, and Wally Newell, Walter Smith. Other members of the cast were: Williams, the butler, William James; Knee- land, Walter Pfister; Simpson, Irque Black: Nelson, Racie Dean; Mar- garet, LaVerne Leal; and Reverend Dow, Bob Tipton. Miss Mildred Lee Brown, new dramatics instructor, insured her success at Madera High School by the success of this production. YYRDLe § Wh DER AULA IK Sy CIE Cas Under the supervision of Miss Mildred Lee Brown, Madera High's new dramatic coach, the dramatics class was very successful in all of their undertakings during the past year. They organized a club which they called the âThirty and One Playersâ. Students taking this course kept in mind the fact that they were studying dramatics for its educational value and not training to be- come actors, playwrights, or dramatic critics. They were interested in drama as a form of literature and a study of the theatre. Interest was stimulated in this class by the desire to produce better plays in a more finished manner. It was the desire of the group to have a more sincere attitude than is usually found in such organizations. Madera was represented again this year in the contest plays held in Fresno. Madera presented the âDrums of Oudeâ, by Austin Strong. The members of the cast, chosen from the student body at large, were: Dan Hebern, Captain Hector McGregor; Carol Armstrong, Stewart, a sentry; Bob âTipton, Lieutenant Allan Hartley; Francis Emmert, Ser- geant McDougal; Robert Boles, a private; Dick Baldy and Renald Mastrofini, Hindustani servants; and Margaret Chamberlin, Mrs. Jack Clayton, Hartleyâs sister. âThe technical cast was: Sidney Epstein, stage manager; Fred Williams, property manager ; Irque Black, drum beater; and Clarence Jacobson, bugler. The play, which was a melo- IVIL 8 Wihilce drama, took place in a province of northern India on the eve of an Indian uprising. This play placed first in casting and was one of the seven plays which critics of the Fresno State College thought were admirably presented. During the year the club put on three one-act plays. The first was a modern Chinese play called the âThrice Promised Brideâ, by Cheng- Chin Hsiung. The play was presented as nearly as possible in the Chinese fashion. The members of the cast were: Mary Hurt, Hanehu Yim, the bride; Angela Noli, the brideâs mother; Mary Tognotti, Wang Mei-Pao, first matchmaker; Robert Boles, Wang Ta-Ming, magistrate; Dick Baldy, âTuan Chai, secretary to Wang Fa-Ming: Irque Black, Chien-Show, an old man; Carol Armstrong, Chung Ting, a knight; Renald Mastrofini, Li Che-F'u, wealthy merchant; Bob Tipton, Fu Kuang-Yang, beggar-scholar; Mozelle Trout, the second match- maker; Fred Hager, Glen Adams, Marie Poe, and Margaret Copeland, attendants. A benefit play for the Maderan was presented. It was called âPrinterâs Inkâ, by Orene Summers. âI'he play was very appropriately based upon newspaper life. Those who took part were: La Verne Leal, Mrs. Worton; Daniel Hebern, Weston, managing editor of the Morning Herald; Bob Tipton, Spike; Walter Pfister, Jimmy, copy boy; Jack Page, Jake, office boy; Francis Kmmert, Harold, cub reporter: and e o @ of} â Eugene Root, messenger. Nine girls presented âSolemn Prideâ, by George Ross Leighton. The play, which took place during the Civil War, was based upon the receipt by Mrs. Bixby of that famous letter from Abraham Lincoln, written to her in expression of his sympathy for her great sacrifice of sons. âThe cast was made up as follows: Margaret Wetter, Mrs. Bixby; Helen Barnett, Mrs. Issacs; Margaret Copeland, Mrs. Gris- wold; Muriel Gould, Miss Carroll; Olga Tordini, Mrs. Brewster: Ruth Scott, Miss Abbott; Ruby David, Molly Harmon; Gertrude Thomas, Mrs. Gregory; and Doris Harrell, Sarah Gregory. The class studied Shakespearean parts and found them very inter- esting. It is hoped that this school will be represented in the Shake- spearean contest which is held every April at the University of Cali- fornia. Madera would rank in class B if she should enter this contest. The idea of starting a dramatics fund by presenting a long cos- tume play each spring was discussed. The fund would be used by the school for dramatic purposes, such as the purchasing of a new set of curtains and new scenery. ns b : 2 X 4 4 RN BANG, ed yy vNANnAuRned tant ease ea 2 } : , a.

The seventeen players were as follows: first violins, Mar- garet Van Vleet, Frank April, Milton Bergantz, Richard Childs, Ran- som Poythress, and Ralph Allred; second violins, Mary Ellen Deaven- port and Claude Ferguson; bass viol, Jack Desmond; alto saxophone, silly James; tenor saxophone, Lawrence Ruiz; cornets, Pill Barsotti and Mayburn Deavenport; clarinet, Gordon Leyh; drums and bells, Irque Black and Harold McKune; piano, Ruth Barnes. Miss Denn, who is head of the music department, was the director, The orchestra took a prominent place in school programs, playing for the Junior Play, the Senior Play, the âPewee Golferâ, the Christ- mas Program, the [ducational Week Program, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. It also played for assemblies and organization meet- ings. In connection with the orchestra, the ââHarmonizersââ, consisting of Barsotti, James, and Miss Denn, played when it was not suitable for the entire orchestra to appear. Romano, Ruiz, Margaret Van Vleet, and Deavenport assisted at times. They played for assemblies, the Rotary and Lionsâ Clubs, farm bureaus, and luncheons. William Barsotti, Elmer Welch, William James, Johnny Sciacqua, and Allen Harkins played for the school dances. PURPLE s While BAND At the opening of school this year the band started practice with about twenty members. The bass section, drum section, and clarinet section had very little material to start with. New members of the band were added in the persons of Otho DeSoto and Lonnie Fair in the drum section. In the clarinet section, L. McCollister, Cecil Ber- gantz, Everett Bondesen, and Leroy Peime were new additions. The Band played for Dairy Day at the Chowchilla Fair, the I. C. Tederation, and held a series of ten concerts on the streets of Madera for one-half hour each Saturday evening. The large truck and trailer of the Valley Feed Fuel Company, so generously loaned by Mr. B. A.

They also had the honor of playing for the Christian Endeavor Convention held in Madera on May 2. âhey played for the opening of Mr. Harring- tonâs super service station on Yosemite and IF street in Madera. On Thursday, April 18, the band entertained the student body with several numbers. Mr. D. Stephenson assisted with the program by erecting a microphone and loudspeaker. A silver loving cup was presented to the band by Nello Barsotti for their participation in the I. C. Federation parade. The band members received new caps this year. They were the army over seas type with white piping around the purple cap. On the side is a Block M with a wing flanked on each side. The members of the band were: Solo cornet, William Barsotti, who is also student leader, Mayburn Deavenport, and Dwight Birch; first cornet, Clarence McCollister, Mike Carinelli, and Don Skages; second cornet, Louis Gomes, Joe Gomes, and Gayle Adams; first B flat clarinet, Everett Bondesen, Cecil Bergantz, and Gordon Leyh; second B flat clarinet, Lois McCollister ; FE flat clarinet, Leroy Peime; soprano saxophone, Robert Daniel, John Arnold, and James Hanhart; alto saxophones, Wallace Davis and Walter Brown; tenor saxophone, Lloyd Martin; C saxophone, Douglas Turner; alto melophone, Herman Lem- ing; baritones, Racie Dean and Clarence Jacobson; trombone, Billie Seabury; drums, Otho De Soto; E flat tuba, Wallace Emmert; E flat sousaphone, James Palmer; BB flat bass sousaphone, Ray Miles; cym- bals, Lonnie Fair. None of the present members will be lost through graduation, and uiany new members will be added due to the graduation of grammar school students. PURPLE § While MAE, CHORUSES There were only two sections in the Chorus this year, the Mixed Chorus and the Girlsâ Glee Club. However, a student had a wonder- ful opportunity to learn the different phases of chorus work, including solo work and group singing. An important feature of the course was the training of the students to sing before people without being afraid, whether they were singing alone or with the entire group. Music ap- preciation and harmony were also included in the course. The more important performances of the Chorus were: The Christmas Program, December 11th, a music assembly, January 22nd, the Educational Week program, and Baccalaureate. They also sang in the school broadcast at the Madera County fair. The Girlsâ Glee Club sang in the âPewee Golferâ and for the Commencement program. The Christmas program, which was composed entirely of music, was given by the Chorus and the Orchestra. It was started by an impressive processional of girls, who, dressed in surplices and carrying candles, marched in singing âThe First Noelâ. âThe entire group on the platform sang the following selections: âJoy to the Worldâ, âIt Came U pon a Midnigt ont Clearâ, âSilent Nightâ, and âIn a Monastery Gardenâ. Ray Miles sang âO Little Town of Bethlehemâ, and a violin interlude was played by Margaret Van Vleet. Groups were chosen from the Chorus to sing solos, duets, and trios at numerous entertainments. Some of the places at which they took part were as follows: The Madera County fair, the Rotary Club, Dairy Day at Chowchilla, Arcola and Dixieland Farm Centers, the Lionsâ Club, the Business Menâs Association, and the Agriculture and âarm Mechanics luncheon for the San Joaquin Valley section. They also assisted at school programs, singing for the Educational Week program and for Girlsâ League, Sahollars ip Society, and Boysâ Feder- ation programs, besides singing for numerous assemblies. Much interest was created in the music department by a song contest among the girls and the boys. Anyone could sing in this con- test, which not only furnished entertainment for the other students, but gave training to those taking part. âBesides the regular class work students registered, for glee club and chorus receive a considerable amount of individual instruction. Those who show special ability are coached before and after school so that they can perform to advantage when called upon to do so. This extra instruction is an outstanding feature of the Music Department. Miss Annabel Denn heads the department. PYRPLIE § Wh TE VaileTORY The following poem was written in 1929, the year of the great bon- fire. Events did not warrant the publication of the poem. In 1930, the author said, âI'll dust off that poem. Surely we'll be able to use it this year.â But again there was no occasion. It is published now as a prophecy of what is expected to happen in the fall of 1931. Listen, good friends, and you shall hear A tale that will fill your hearts with cheer, You've waited long that you may see The Madera-Merced victory. Our boys were warriors, brave and bold: The battle, like one in days of old. The fight was hard, and with a cry The rooters cheered Madera High. Down the battle field Merced fled: Toward victory Madera led. The Day had come, and fighters bold Would die, but not give up their hold, Minutes passed, but gave no score. lal I'he Coyotes struggled more and more Till Mercedâs goal was pressing fast; Mercedâs defeat had come at last. The Day dawned; the fight was won. Kach warrior had fought like a native son. The crowds just cheered and danced and sang, And yelled, âMadera,â with a bang. With drooping heads and aching ears, The Merced warriors had done their parts. Always shall Madera see The shining face of Victory. âJohnny Sciacqua. no tj; ZZ LZ Z Ll Margaret Humphreys Sogn MS . ${O_OER _oW WN XX WW oar SS!

With nine letter men and numer- ous substitutes back from the 1929 team, the prospects for a successful season were very bright. The coach did wonders in gaining the confidence of his men. Practice GAMES: Madera lost its first practice game here with I res- no Tech, September 22. This was a hotly contested game which took four quarters to prove which team was superior, the final score being Madera, 2, Fresno, 6. Madera played its first night game in Selma, October 4. Somewhat handicapped by inexperi- ence with night playing, the game was a tie, 6-6. It was an exciting contest Coach Wood throughout, featured by many long ga ins by both teams. C„IOS TI„ALOOA Nin Be Ser Se UL) | (A. AN) PNRVLe 8 Whillce On October 18, Chowchilla, Maderaâs county rival, was defeated by the overwhelming score of 45-6. All three teams were used by Coach Wood. The Raymond Rocks were defeated by the third team, which was coached by Willie Venturi, in a hard fought game on Octo- ber 31. In a very poor contest, Madera defeated St. Columba in I'resno, November 15. The final score was 8-7. The last game was played here with Kingsburg on Thanksgiving Day. âThe game was fairly even and pleased the large crowd, which saw the game, very much. Madera was defeated by the score of 13-6. Leacuk Games: The Purple and White team played their first league game of the season on October 13, at Turlock. Madera won from the northern team, 7-6. âThe game was featured by Turlockâs brilliant aerial attack. By passes, âTurlock made a total of 110 yards. By a sustained drive of seven successive plays, Madera scored and succeeded in earning the extra point which won the game. This year the league in which Madera participated was composed of Modesto, Turlock, Merced, and Madera. The winner of the Mer- ced-Madera game played the winner of the minor schools of the Bi- County League, which was made up of Los Banos, Dos Palos, Chow- chilla, Le Grand, and Livingston, for the Bi-County title. The second league game was with Modesto on October 27. âThe Modesto boys were an undefeated team both before and after they played Madera. With eleven men who had played with each other three successive seasons, Modesto had no difficulty in gaining a 21-0 score over Madera. Modestoâs scores all came in the first halfâ14 in the first quarter and 7 in the second. Madera had t wo chances to score on some pretty passing by Mariscotti, but Barsotti had hard luck with the ball. The visitors were a hard playing outfit, as was manifested in broken noses for Barsotti and Lonnie Fair, On November 11, the Madera fans saw one of the best football games ever played on the Madera field. It was the big game of the season between Madera and Merced. Madera was defeated by one point, the score being 7-9. Madera out-played Merced in every phase of the game. Maderaâs aerial attack was accurate, and Arthur Mariscotti proved himself a brilliant passer. The game started, as usual, with a fumble by Madera. But our men fought the Merced outfit to a stand still and carried the ball out of danger. The goal line was not threatened again until just before the PNRPLE 8 WhIICE half. Madera had the entire second team on the field with the excep- tion of Richard Rue, who was the only one to play the entire game. Lady made Mercedâs only score, except the conversion which won the game. Madera opened up the second half with a drive and a smash that carried Merced completely off her feet. After a few drives at the line, Robbins broke into the open field from an off tackle play and raced 80 yards before he was stopped by Robinson. The Madera line opened up a hole, and Mariscotti plunged through for a touchdown. They failed to convert. The Madera boys continued to run Merced all over the eridiron, but could not score a winning touchdown. Mariscotti passed to Pickett, who received the ball over the goal line, but stepped out of bounds, and it was ruled no touchdown by the referee. Merced got the ball on her 20 yard line, but Madera proceeded to take it away and go right back at Mercedâs goal line. The game ended before Madera could score, so the Purple and Whites went down to a glorious defeat. This yearâs team was ably led by Richard Rue. The final event in the football year was the football banquet, No- vember 29. âThe banquet was given by the mothers of the players. The table was decorated with a miniature football field with two teams playing on it while the coach stood on the sidelines looking on. After the banquet the boys were the guests of the National Theatre. 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 Wood. They are entirely responsible for all equipment used and must see that it is in con- dition when needed. The managers are: Kenneth Parkes, football; Raynor Thomas, baseball; Johnny Sciacqua, basketball: and Lynn Goodnight, track. YYRPLE s Wh Basketball B and C Teams CESS BabA hl BAels The B team was unable to round itself into good playing form until toward the end of the season when all their opponents were in their top form. The fact that only two of the players had had previous experience on a high school team may be some explanation of their slowness in starting. The B team won from St. Columba, 26-25; Le Grand, 17-5, and defeated Raymond 19-13. They came out on the short end of the score in the other games that they played. Lettermen were: Parkes, Brunetti, Chipman, Dean, and Paolinelli. Clos © BAS Bales The C class season began on November 26, and ended on Decem- ber 12, in order to be finished before A and B class season started on January 9. This yearâs C team was coached by Harold House. Ma- dera tied Chowchilla in the tri-county race but lost the deciding game in which they played. The league was cut in two this year and the winners played for the tri-county championship. Class C lettermen were the following: Alverez, Brooks, Shuman, Ruiz, Jensen, Deavenport, and A. Mckune. ALL A TEAM BASKETB UU} â [Ay (Se =) ES PURPLE 8 While ClASS 2] BACK BALE With McNally and Robbins back star guards from last yearâs B team; Aldama, House, Smith, and Cereghino, forwards; Mariscotti, Pickett, and Gangbin, guards; prospects for a successful season were bright. House was a new man, who transferred here from Missouri. The team developed into a fast, smooth-working combination. The first part of the season Coach Wood had two complete teams, but a few injuries ruined this system. In their first practice game with Selma, Madera won with a 21-12 score. Other victories were: Kerman, 23-21: St. Columba, 37-32; Madera Legion welterweights, 32-30; Tur- lock, 36-24; Reedley, 31-13. All these victories were practice games. The A team won all the honors in the Bi-County, beating Merced, Jos Palos, Turlock, Los Banos, Livingston. Le Grand, and Chowchilla. âThe winning of the Los Banos game gave Madera the right to enter the semi-finals of the valley. The Maderans defeated Los Banos, 45-9. âPhe A team took the lead in the first thirty seconds of play and held this lead throughout. Madera scored from all angles of the court, all the boys playing a wonderful game. During the last four minutes the Maderans played with only four men on the court. âThis was because House, who hurt his shoulder, was removed from the game and the rest of the boys had gone into the showers. Madera Hi entered the semi-final game with Fresno Hi on even terms. Both teams were composed of large, fast men, who were ex- cellent basketball players. Fresno won by a 16-14 count. At no time during the game were the teams separated by more than four points. The first quarter ended in the score being tied, 2-2. This quarter was a cautious one. At the half the score had increased to an 8-6 lead for Fresno. This next period went a little faster, each team getting warmed up to its work. The third quarter ended with a one point lead for Fresno, 12-11. The visitors held the Madera boys to one field goal to win the game by two precious points. This defeat eliminated Madera from the valley championship game that was played at Bakersheld. The lettermen were Barsotti, Cereghino, Smith, Robbins, McNally, House, Aldama, Mariscotti, Pickett, and Van Curen. A new system in regard to captain was used this year. The cap- tain was appointed by the coach for each game. This system proved very efficient as it gave each one who played well a chance in leading his WVAOL MOWUE i ahead ee A A ROME T MERE YYRPLE § WHIICE TRANCK The track team was under the supervision of B yron McMahon this year. Mr. McMahon was captain of the track team at the University of Nebraska. Under his guidance more than one record was broken. Unexpected talent was shown by Chipman in the B class 100; Smith in the hurdles; Ralph in the 880: Jensen as an all around C class man; and Davis, a miler. The interclass meet was held on March 27, and was won by the juniors. âThis in itself insures Madera of a brilliant track team next year. Van Curen broke the school pole vault record, going over 11 feet, 1 inch. Harkins set a new B class discus record of 120 feet. Jensen was high point man in the meet with 24 points. On April 11, Madera sent a team to the Fresno Invitational Meet. There were eleven schools entered, and Madera took third place in A class, fourth in B, and first in class C. Jensen was high point man for Madera with 15% points. Van Curen tied for first place in the pole vault and Schroeder won both the javelin and discus. The next meet was the Hollister Invitational Meet. Madera took fourth in Class A with seventeen schools competing, which was an ex- ceptional showing considering the keenness of the competition. Barsotti tied for first place in the high jump, and in doing so set a new school cond of 5 feet, 1O inches. Van Curen tied in the pole vault at 11 feet, 7% inches, which was also a new school record. Schroeder took third in the javelin with a throw of 167 feet. The Tri-County league was divided into two sections this year, each section having a meet previous to the Tri-County Meet. Madera and Merced held their meet on the Madera field, April 25. The other schools held their meet at Livingston on the same date. The first four men in each event in these meets were then eligible to compete in the Tri-County meet in Madera, May 2. Merced defeated Madera in Class A, 86-62, and in C class, 37%- He Madera won the Class B, 43-38%. Chipman turned in a very fast 100 yards in B class. Crooks also made good time in the quarter by winning it in 53.5. Ralph won the 880 in 2:09.5 to the surprise of everyone. Hunt won the class A 100 in 11 seconds. Smith won the 110 yard high hurdles. Barsotti was able to jump 5 feet, 9 inches, winning the high jump. On Satur day, May 2, Madera was the host to the high schools of Merced, Mariposa, and Madera Counties in the aaaranean Tri-County Track Meet. Merced won the meet with 132% points. Madera was ONYRYLE Track Record Men second with 102. A great many of the Tri-County records were broken and several new records were established in the B and C classes. New Class A records were: High hurdles, 16.8; low hurdles, 26.9: 440, 53; 880, 2:08.7; mile, 4:52.7; high jump, 5 feet, 10 inches: broad jump, 20 feet, % inch; shot put, 42 feet, 8% inches; discus, 126 feet. B class records were: 120 yard low hurdles, 15.5; high jump, 5 feet, 6 inches ; discus, 120 feet, 9 inches; 440 relay, 46.9; broad jump, 18 feet, 10 inches. C class records: Discus, 126 feet, 2 inches; high jump, 5 feet; 120 low hurdles, 14.9; 440 yard relay, 48.4, Hannah was high point man of the meet with 13% points, breaking records in both hurdles and taking second in broad jump. Barsotti tied with Jirsa of Merced in a new high jump record. Van Curen tied with Guy in the pole vault. Schroeder and James took first and second in the javelin, respectively. Ralph was third in the mile and second in the 880. Brunetti established a new record in the B class broad jump. Two captains were elected this year. Schroeder was field captain and Crooks was track captain. âThose who did well were: Davis, who ran the mile under 5 minutes; Nelson, who ran the half mile in 2:10: James, javelin; Ragnetti, shot put and discus; Farressi, low hurdles: Jacobson, broad jump; Dean, high jump; Parkes and Deavenport, pole vault ; Gomes and Paolinelli in the 100. The Class C men were Jensen, Akens, Shuman, and Brown. YPYRPLe s Wh BOYS BASEBALL Under the direction of Coach Wood, a large number of lettermen reported for practice. Baseball and track were not mixed as in the year before, so a good team was developed. The veterans were: Mariscotti, Barsotti, Aldama, Martin, Stefan, Cereghino, Brunetti, Van Curen, and Cardwell. Ed. Harper, a new student, played short- stop and handled the position very nicely, Martin and Aldama, our two pitchers, even though they were small men, pitched well. âThe out- fielders, Stefan, Cardwell, and Horder, played a reliable game through- out the season. Practice Gamers: Chowchilla 8, Madera 2; Raymond, 3, Ma- dera 23; Kerman, 9, Madera 3; Fresno, 9, Madera, 8; Dixieland, 1 Madera 9; Central High 7, Madera 9. LEAGUE GAMES: Madera defeated the Dos Palos team 8 to 7. Martin and Aldama did the pitching. Madera lost by a 10-1 score to Merced. Martin and Aldama pitched. Madera next lost to Living- ston, 13-3. Due to the annual going to press before all games were played, we cannot tell you how these came out. The lettermen probably were as follows: Mariscotti, Van Curen, Barsotti, Brunetti, Harper, Cereghino, Stefan, Cardwell, Horder, Sciacqua, Aldama, and Martin. â PURPLE 8 Wh BOYS) TENNIS Tennis got an early start with K. M. Bar ager coaching the tennis activities. The courts were kept in fine shape and the tournaments were played systematically, At the time of the Bi-County games, which were played at Dos Palos, the tennis team was in good form. The team was composed of Fee, Deav enport, Pitman, Ad Clawson. The fifth man was Pickett. Madera did exceptionally well. Deavenport and Fee, boysâ doubles, won the right to play for boysâ championship but lost by two games to Dos Palos. Practice matches were had with C howchilla, Merced, and Clovis. The teams were composed of the followi ing: Fee and Deaven- port, doubles; Pitman, singles, and McClellan and Clawson, mixed doubles. Coach Barager worked out a new system called the âladderâ. The best player in the school was placed at the t: yp with the next to the best below and so on down the âladderâ. The âladderâ was as follows: Fee, Pitman, Clawson, Deay enport, Pickett, McKinley, Ennis, Davis, Whitehead, Cook, Skaggs, Nohrnberg, Philli ps, Har ine: Bergantz, M. Bybee, Slater, D.

Much interest was aroused in inter-class volley ball by a silver cup, the gift of Mrs. A. Borba. The Junior Whites won the right of having their name engraved upon it this year, and each year another name will be added. GIRLSâ BASKETBALL The girlsâ basketball teams proved very successful this year. The first team was composed of: forwards, Dorothy Loges and Mariel Gangbin; jumping center, Lucia Warburton; running center, Euda Sater; guards, Avis Worley and Mae Davis.

PYRPLE s Wh (GUUS BVANS ELI SVaNE |b Wednesday, April 8, the following girls were selected for the girlsâ baseball team: catcher, Margaret Copeland; pitcher, Jackie Leal; first base, Margaret Chamberlin; second base, Dorothy Bryant; third base, Lorene Litt; shortstops, Mariel Gangbin and Dorothy Reasonover ; left field, Mae Davis; right field, Marjorie Hoffman; and center field, Avis Worley. a McClel Friday, April 10, the team journeyed to Kerman to play their first game. âThey had the pleasure of winning a decisive victory over their opponents, the score being 10-1 in favor of Madera. This game was featured by many long hits and some brilliant playing. Kerman played a return game at Madera on May 6. 1e substitutes were: Ruth Harper, Lucia Warburton, Dot lan, Margaret Burns, and Dorothy âTarleton. Due to having to crowd in inter-class speedball and hockey, not much time was left after school to play inter-scholastic baseball. How- ever, Miss Merwin was able to work in several games with the Ray- mond girls. At press time the outlook for the season of 1931 was very good, the girls having won their first game. As only two of the team were from the senior class, it is hoped that the 1932 team will be good also. Cis. WeININTS The Racketeers, as the tennis girls call themselves, have a new system as to determining who is the best player. They have formed a iadder and each is trying to work up to the top. The girls are: Leal, Johnson, Chamberlin, Scribner, Cobb, McClellan, Tognotti, Forrest, Shuman, Lesan, and Warburton. Tuesday, April 7, at Chowchilla, Leal in a girlsâ singles won a victory over the Chowchilla girl, winning two out of three sets. In the mixed doubles, Cobb and Clawson lost two sets.

The villain fled to mountains. His vengeance he cried, Tâll catch your big baby And kill him besidesââ. âSpare himââ, the girl said. Her efforts were in vain. The villain curled his mustache And said, âThe trapâs lainâââ. Innocent was the hero Who came galloping to the scene. Grew wild as fireâwith fury When he heard his darling scream. âAlas, beloved Romeo, My Lochinvarââ, said she, âBeware this monstrous villain, A trap heâs set for thee.ââ The hero rushed the doorâ To his queenly maid said he, âWho is this monstrous villain Who kept you away from me?â The villain slowly closed the door With a cynical smile of mirth, A terrible battle then ensued, They fought for all their worth. The hills resound the curses And the tearful maidenâs cries; And now is left one memory, For thereâa tombstone lies. She often goes to read it, Its inscriptions are quite queer. One is for the villain, His whiskers and his sneer; The other for the Romeo And all the burlesque act. A good bronx cheer from the gallery And the house is no longer packed. M. Wootten.

She had ignored the signal lights, then stalled in the middle of the street, and before starting had taken out her powder puff and started to apply it to her face. An irate traffic cop rushed up: âSay, lady, do you know anything at all about traffic rules?ââ âWhy, yes,â she answered sweetly, âwhat is it you want to know?â Frances Davis came into a police sta- tion with a photograph in her hand. âMy husband has disappeared,â said she. âThis is his photo.â And she handed it to the inspector. âT want him found at once,ââ she added. The inspector looked up from the photograph. âWhy?â he asked. Choppy was cashing a $50.00 check. When he received the bills, he counted them carefully, stopping when he reach- ed the ninth $5 bill. ââWhy donât you count the tenth billâ? inquired the clerk. âAha, there might be two there.ââ ° 0) 0a a) a) 8 ÂŁ25 When Planning Your Daily Meals or for special parties Always Remember we can supply your needs with Fancy Domestic or Imported GROCERIES from all parts of the world A.
