And, as you leave the island of school and enter upon the sea of life, no matter how rough the sea or stormy the wind and rain, never stop nor stand still but—sail on! Your sails of hope may be torn by the winds of fate, but just patch them up with threads of courage and—sail on! Your ship may stray from its course through the roughness of the sea of life, but with man’s two best virtues, patience and courage, you can regain your course and—sail on! Your worst fears may be realized if a reef of disillusion should appear in your path, but just cautiously sail around it, careful not to run into any of its companions hidden under a blanket of blue, and— sail on! Your voyage will be a pleasant one if you are agreeable, friendly, a true sportsman, and treat your fellow sailormen in the way you want N them to treat you. ‘ And And sail on!

Borager, auder of 19352 mhose guidance the Clas completed au hamyn and i ‘ PURI Lie wn SURERINGENDENT MGs TAVILOR For the past five years Mr. ‘Taylor has served as District Superin- tendent of Schools in charge of the Madera Union High School and the Madera City Elementary Schools. He is a member of the Masonic Lodge, the Madera Chamber of Commerce, President of the Madera Rotary Club, and he was elected President of the California Teachers’ Association last December. Upon his acceptance of the Madera posi- tion, plans were immediately undertaken to correlate and unify the work in the school systems. ‘This has added to educational efficiency and has also made a substantial saving for both school systems. Under his able business administration, the erstwhile struggling city elementary schools have found a substantial balance each year, The High School accumulated a balance of $75,000 during the first four years of his administration with a gradual reduction of the tax rate from fifty-one cents to forty-three cents, and has maintained the high standards of the High School in the state. Gratifying growth has been shown in the past five years. The teaching staff has increased from 22 to 27 and the total enrollment from 478 to 672. Numerous improvements and additions to the plant have taken place. Among them are: a complete three boiler heating system enclosed in a centrally located model boiler room separated from the main plant; a complete rebuilding, remodeling, and modernizing;the Manual Arts Buildings which were destroyed by a fire a few days prior to Mr. ‘Taylor’s taking over the work; the construction of the brick Music Building; and the erection of the splendid twelve class room annex with modern administrative quarters along with a decided modernizing of the Main Building by the construction of a modern study hall and library; and many other minor changes indicate the needed improvements in the physical plant under Mr. Taylor's direc- tion. A flood light system costing over $3,500 was erected on the athletic field to complete a plant in keeping with the most modern in the state. PURI Lie ey In SUPERINTENDENT M. C.

Six students from the senior class are chosen each year as nom- inees for editor and business manager; these students are selected by a committee of five teachers. The editor and business manager are chosen from this group of selected students by vote of the seniors. With the approval of the committee, the editor chooses the remaining members of the “Purple and White” staff. very member of this staff is selected because of the record he has made in his previous years in high school. ‘This choice is based upon his dependability, his initiative, and his use of [nelish, NGAP PR Gian Oi The 1932 staff of the “Purple and White” wishes to thank the mem- bers of the student body, the high school faculty, the Madera business men, and all of those who have co-operated and assisted in making this publication possible.

Our ship has weathered all exams; the prize we sought is won. Graduation is near; the Processional | hear: the parents all rejoicing, While friends and comrades hover near, congratulations voicing. O Seniors! O Seniors! rise up and greet each friend. Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you high school days end. The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage closed and done, From four years’ trip the victor ship comes in with object won, —Milford Pickett PURI LEERY In THE OCEANS LURE | have never seen the ocean, deep, Nor heard its sullen roar, I’ve never gazed on white winged ships Nor watched the sea-gulls soar. ‘To walk the lonely sand-dunes Has oft been my desire, To watch the sea at sunset, A molten lake of fire. | long to stand in the prow of a ship And feel the sting of the spray, Be lulled to sleep by the waves each night, And rise at the break of day. I must be off to the ocean, For I hear her calling me, In every breeze I hear, anew, The haunting cry of the sea. —TLorean Caldwell —— 4 - = — a ES Als ——— .

At about ten o'clock, noise-makers and serpentine were handed out and from that time on, there was much; whooping, yelling, and other forms of confused merriment.

A new amendment concerning the student body dues was passed by a majority vote and added to the student constitution. By virtue of this new ruling which was enforced for the first time during the drive in October, 1931, the student body tickets which were sold, were good for the entire school year instead of only being good for one semester. ‘The cost of these new tickets was two dollars each, whereas in previous years the cost had been one dollar and twenty-five cents for each semes- fet cmaeets PURPLE WW All Cle STUDENT BODY COUNCIL, SECOND SEMES IIR OFFICERS ee iets er Ee Eas Be ee Mayborn Deavenport Hildreth Daulton President.___-...-- ae Vice President..-..-. : z BOCReuaieyags -.-se= ae _.......Kenneth Parkes Meals Une aseeeeeen eee ues : = - ........Margaret Burns AGival S Ores Oe She aad @ AB ee Sees ee) Lee ARES Catto Ne ot a eee Ope OMMIO SOM The student council, second semester, consisted of the following students in addition to those named above: Scholarship president, Elwood Ennis; editor of the Maderan, Barbara Hensley; Girls’ League president, Margaret Copeland; Boys’ Kederation president, James Davis; girls’ athletic representative, Dorothy Reasonover ; yell leader, La Verne Leal: seniors, La Verne Leal and Carol Armstrong; juniors, Glen Case and Bennie Biancalana; sophomores, Frank April and Eleanor Shuman: freshman, Richard Hardin and Jerome Keltie, and editor of the Purple and White, La Verne Leal. An amendment has been added to the student body constitution to revive an old school ruling which seems to have lapsed. The amend- ment provides that a student may only carry extra-curricular activities amounting to a total of ten points. This will prevent students enter- ing into more activities than they can do justice to and will also pro- tect their scholastic standing. Among the most worth while assemblies arranged by the council were the exchange programs by Kerman and Chowchilla High Schools. 1s ef = SSS VOrUaANY FO SHOINUVA WADA PURPLE In FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA OFFICERS IDRC ENCE Fre cemeancerremenacooceecect James Davis TO aIS UI Cees eee Robert Albonico Vice President........

Bartelt lhe Madera chapter of the Future Farmers have had a most suc- cessful year. All of the sixty active members carried on successful pro- jects in livestock, poultry, garden, fruit, or crops. Meetings were held twice each month. The first event of importance was the State Fair. At that time James Davis was elected to the California Farmer Degree, and Calvin Jones was elected state treasurer of the Future Farmers. Gilbert Veatch, Raymond W. Brown, and Jack Holliday won the silver trophy for judging dairy products. At the Fresno Fair, the Madera Future Farmers captured a forty dollar first prize for the booth exhibit, and second prize in the scrap- book contest. The agronomy judging team won first place, and the boys exhibiting stock and products won seventy-five dollars in prizes. Robert ‘Tipton, Robert Albonico, and Walter Lynch exhibited their Hereford fat steers at the San Francisco Fat Stock Show in November and made a neat profit from the sale of their animals. ‘The chapter staged a “Get Together” meeting for alunii and ac- tive members in December with over one hundred present. Talks were made by B. R. Denbigh, M. C. Taylor, J. L. Davis, and Jack Holliday, Sr, Eight boys attended the Los Angeles Fat Stock Show in December. Programs were put on at several Farm Centers during the year. The chapter also took part in, and had a float and other vehicles in the “Old Timers” Day parade. In January, a judging field day was held, at the Glatkenameny ako the San Joaquin Valley. Nine schools and fifty boys participated. During February, the Madera team won the vine pruning contest for the San Joaquin Valley, held at Fowler. The boys on the vine pruning team were: Robert Houlding, high individual of the contest, Roy Sordi, and Harold Agajanian. On March 8, Calvin Jones won the Fresno District Oratorical Con- test with his ten minute talk on “Equalization of Taxes as a Source of Farm Relief,” and on March 15, placed second in the finals for the entire fan Joaquin Valley. Six judging teams represented the Madera chapter in the San Joa- quin Valley contests held at Fresno on April 2, and took second place sweepstakes trophy, and first place hog judging trophy. The team competed at the Davis Picnic Day, on April 15. PURI Le Ayn DEBATING lor the fourth time in five years, the debating team of Madera High School won the district debating championship. Under the coach- ing of L. C. Thompson, the team composed of Eva Mae Crowder, Elizabeth Griggs, Mayborn Deavenport, and Clayton Clawson won twelve debates with no defeats. The schools defeated were: Reedley, Roosevelt, Coalinga, Lemoore, Sanger, and Parlier. The subject for the first four debates was, ‘‘Resolved, That State Medicine should be Adopted.” For the semi-final and final debates the subject was, “Resolved. That the Motion Pictures are more Detrimental than Beneficial to Modern Youth.” HONS CURCONT ES The annual extemporaneous speaking contest was won by Mayborn Deavenport. [lis name will be the next to be engraved on the cup pre- sented by the Lions Club, four years ago. ‘The other students who were in the contest were: William Saunders, Clayton Clawson, William Jennings, Eva Mae Crowder, Calvin Jones, and La Verne Leal. This contest is a great help to the debate coach in that it gives him an idea of who are the best speakers in school. It is also a good way of discovering the best speakers in the freshman class.

Madera was represented by Clayton Clawson and Eva Shupe a alt the fall convention of the twentieth district which was held at Fresno in the Roosevelt high school. The delegates that were sent to the spring convention which was held at Kerman union high school were Elwood Ennis and Gladys List. The vice-president of the district was from Madera. At the annual convention of the central section of the California Scholarship Federation, which was held at Santa Cruz on April 9, Ma- dera was represented by three official and several unofficial delegates. The Madera Chapter, Nigiet 43, of the California Scholarship Federation, was organized in 1922. ‘The admittance to this organiza- tion is decided by the number of px vints a student makes i in a semester's work, Every student must have ten points, two of which may be re- ceived by office holding, dramatics or athletics. In 1926 two rules of distinctive importance were introduced. Scholarship members who had made ones were to be eee from examinations and honor students do not have to report to study halls, but may study any place they wish.

Previous to this time the members of the staff were assigned to their posts before having a chance to demonstrate their ability. This year the old staff took charge of the first two issues of the second semester's papers, during which time the new journalism students tried out for various positions on the staff. Besides those mentioned above, the staff included: assistant editor.

Chambers The Girls’ Athletic Association is one of the most important or- ganizations in the Madera High School. Its members include about forty percent of all of the girls in attendance at the high school. ‘To become a member, a student must earn one hundred athletic points. Although all members are equal, students are awarded distinctive em- blems which designate the number of points earned above the original hundred. The aim of the organization is to further an interest in athletics and to promote a spirit of good fellowship. Officers for the school year 1931-32 were elected at the first meet- ing held October 4, 1931. It was decided to raise the points necessary for earning a sweater from fourteen hundred to sixteen hundred. The annual play day was held April 2, 1932. The girls from Ray- mond, Chowchilla, Le Grand, Dos Palos, and Coalinga were invited. The first event of the day was the posture parade. Play period was ireomlO ton leo clocks tome ito elle 3OMthere aweres relay races.and from this time on to the lunch hour was another play period. During the noon period the Madera High School band played. Students from each school presented a one act play in the afternoon period. The annual picnic was held May 21, 1932, at Fresno Crossing. Looking back over the history of the Girls Athletic Association, which was organized in 1926, under the direction of Mrs. Lois Merwin Chambers, we find that Genevieve Loveland was the first president. At the time of organization it was decided that a circle ““M” would be awarded for three hundred points; a block ““M” for five hundred points; a winged ““M” for one thousand points; and a few years later the sweater award was added as the highest honor. The first girls to earn circle “M's” were: Marjorie Itanaga, Gen- evieve Gordon, Mildred Ellis, Ellen Townsend, Alice Maricich, and Grace Fuller. Altogether one hundred sixty eight circle M’s” have been given out. The first block ““M” awards were given to; Marjorie Itanaga, Mildred Ellis, and Ellen Townsend. The total number of block “‘M’s” are ninety six. Marjorie Itanaga was the first to receive a winged “M.” ‘Thirty six winged “M’s” have been given out. Those having received sweaters were: Mary Van Curen, Lucia Warburton, Dorothy Loges, La Verne Leal, Rose Simonian, Mary Pence, Dorothy Brvant, and Margaret Scribner. PURPLE Rn LIBRARIANS ‘The new library of Madera High was in use for the first time this year. The library is in a room adjoining the study hall. This is a convenient arrangement for the students in study hall who have to do reference work. The library students are in charge of Mr. H. A. Vollborn. This year he decided to appoint the librarians only on the recommendation of the faculty. ‘he students who took library practice were as follows: Elizabeth Griggs, Rose Arakelian, Dorothy Bryant, Bertha Lee Par- ker, Cecelia Markle, Mildred Muller, Louis David, Mitchell Errecart, Mariel Gangbin, Edna James, Victor Senefsky, Glen Case, Frank Farias, Pearl Root, Bertha Oberg, Gladys Douglas, Dorothy Gray, Jayne Hughes, Vernon Hunt, Dorothy Kline, James Williams, Ruth Scott, and Ruth Payne. There were many new books added during the year. Some of the most popular were: “O'Reilly of Notre Dame,” “The Brass Keys of Kenwick,” ‘Tramps and Liners,” “Mayflower Heroes,” “With a Mo- tor Truck in West Africa,” “Wild Life in the Blue Mountain,” “Toss- up,” “Forty Niners,” and “Pirate of the Schools.” The school library is of particular benefit to the students who live in the country. Many of these students are unable to go to the county library to get books for book reports. PURPLE TO Deal SUE (This is a true story. The facts were given by Captain J. S. Clark of the Coast Guard Service to Irque Black who wrote the narrative. ) At 2:30 A. M., February 28, 1895, the man on the watch at the Cape Disappointment Coast Guard Station received word by runners that the steamer, “Point Loma,’ Captain Conway in command, bound from San Francisco to Greys Harbor, Washington, was ashore at Ilwaco Beach, twenty miles to the north. Our life crew was requested to come to the rescue as speedily as possible. The command was given to prepare the life boats and beach appa- ratus for transportation on a steamer from Fort Canby, where the station was located, to the little town of Ilwaco. The crew and the rest of the equipment were taken to the scene of the wreck by special train. We arrived at the wreck at 7:30 A. M. and found a tremendous sea running and the breakers high, a so’west gale blowing at the rate of sixty-five miles per hour. The vessel was about 450 yards off shore and inside the first line of breakers. The crew came to action with a beach apparatus gear, and a shot was fired which landed on the fo’cas’l head. We signaled the crew of the ship to haul away. ‘The whip line was sent aboard and secured about twenty feet above the deck on the fo’mast. A hawser was then hauled aboard and this was also secured above the whip line. ‘he breeches buoy was then sent off to the ship, thus establishing communi- cation between ship and shore. We waited several minutes, perhaps fifteen minutes, for a man to get into the breeches buoy and be hauled ashore, but no one seemed to make any effort to get into the buoy. We sent a wig-wag message to them to send somebody ashore at once as the sea was breaking heavily and the tide was about to turn to ebb, but—no response. After waiting about a half hour, we hauled the breeches buoy ashore—empty. We then secured a life raft to the lines and pulled that to the ship. Still we didn’t get any response. After waiting per- haps an hour, we concluded that they were afraid to get into the buoy or on the life raft and hauled the raft ashore. A snow storm had come up during this time, which nearly obliterated the view of the ship. The command was given to man the life boat. We launched the boat and pulled towards the ship coming alongside under the starboard quarter and threw them a line. We took on the first passenger, the sec- ond, the third, and the fourth was halfway down the line when a tre- mendous breaker struck the life boat, carrying away the painter and at PURPLE MACE the same time turning the boat end over end. All but the steering oar was lost, rendering the boat helpless. The crew righted the boat, and the captain kept the boat head-on to the waves. We picked up the four passengers who were in the water, and, after perhaps an hour and a half of terrific struggle, reached the shore, where the passengers were given dry clothing. We were forced to use the br poor buoy again, but the crew failed to take advantage of it, so we hauled the buoy back to shore again and put one of our men in it and sent him out to the ship to let them know that it was safe. ‘The crew seeing this, were willing to come ashore. ‘Three men had been landed when the main mast went by the board. It was now evident that we must work fast as the vessel was break- ing up, so we sent out the life raft in place of the breeches buoy, as it was large enough to carry four or five persons at one time. By this means the entire crew was rescued from their perilous position, Cap- tain Conway, the commander, was the last man to leave the ship. The crew of thirty-six and the captain were taken to Fort Canby to await transportation to Astoria, Oregon, the nearest sea port. The vessel was a total loss, estimated at approximately two hundred thous- and dollars. TE VON GEA OMNI eee Eins: In California’s sunny San Joaquin Valley, the city of Madera has a high school which was established thirty -eight years ago. The high school is neither large nor small; however, it has prov il a sanaese tal help to those who neni attended it. Its history is very like that of a ship which has been in the business of carrying passengers to various ports of life. The Madera high school had a very small beginning. It was or- ganized in 1892 on dhe second floor of the old WN) est Side grammar school building, which was located on Sixth street between M and N streets. [he first graduating class of seven members, received diplomas in 1897. As time went on, Madera became more of an agri- cultural center, and it became necessary in 1902 to change the school to a union high school. In 1903 an independent high school building was erected on L, street between Sixth and Seventh streets. The front of this building, which still remains in use, is little changed. The back and sides have been remodeled and extended. The first addition was the auditorium, and this was added to the rear of the original building. The domestic science and manual training building was the next to take shape, in 1916, and was called the annex. In 1920 the gymnasium was ye PURPLE built. In 1921 the machine shop was added to the annex. “The new fifteen room administration and class room building was erected in 1931 on the corner of L, and Sixth streets. This building being joined to both the annex and the original building, the three together make one large unit. Before the domestic science and manual training build- ing was built, these subjects were taught in the old “West Side” school house which had been outfitted for that purpose in 1913. Since the early beginning of the Madera high school, baseball has always been a favorite sport. In 1904, EF. M. Cox introduced football, which, at that time, was considered very dangerous and was soon dropped, only to be taken up again a little later on, with a great deal more enthusiasm. ‘The tennis courts were also built in 1904. Basket- ball was taken up by both boys and girls in 1909 and is greatly enjoyed at the present time. Madera’s first year book was published in 1898. It was called “High School Annual,” and was minus pictures and illustrations of any kind. The fall of the same year, purple and white were chosen as the school colors, and ‘‘Purple and White’ became the name of the annual from that time on. The first paper to be published by the students of the school was in 1918 and was called the “Shrapnel.” In 1919, because the war was over, the student body thought that “Maderan” would be more appro- priate and individual to their particular school. A glee club was organized in 1908 under the direction of Miss Isabel Lamb. Although music was not taught in the schools at that time, many students enrolled in the glee club and it was quite success- ful. Because of this interest in music, Professor Garland organized the first orchestra in 1912. ‘Thus the Music Department had its start. A few subjects along the line of agriculture were taught in the high school almost from its start, and in 1918 these subjects were grouped with many others of similar nature and a vocational agricul- ture course was listed under the direction of I. E. Frasher. Sixteen boys entered as agriculture students at that time. This particular de- partment has grown beyond all expectations. Under the direction of B. J. McMahon, the agricultural students won ten silver cups and numerous ribbons and medals during the single school year of 1931-32. Madera high school now boasts thirty faculty members, about six hundred thirty students and an alumni association whose members have gained fame and prominence in every walk of life. —Margaret Whitehead PURPLE RMAICE CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE Evelyn Berrington was having a week-end yachting trip. All of the young, care-free crowd she associated with were her guests. It was the first afternoon of the trip, the most perfect day one could hope for. White clouds were floating carelessly in a clear blue sky. The water was calm and clear. The guests were sitting or lying in steamer chairs, lazily and peace- fully smoking and talking of the latest scandal or the latest movie. ‘To one side, away from the rest of the crowd, was a couple, talking earnest- ly in low voices. They were known as Ruby and John. “We shall wait until everyone is dancing. Then we will slip out and we ll have our chance,” he explained. “Ah, that will be perfect, John.” The day had ended with a beautiful sunset, and the night was calm and serene. The dancing was in full swing. Young men and women were talking and laughing. One could see Evelyn, blonde and beauti- ful, swaying to the rhythm, with her fiance, Robert Borden. John and Ruby were dancing together. “Now’s our chance,” whispered John into Ruby’s ear. ‘hey danced until they came to a door where they could not easily be seen; and slipped out of the dance room. The night grew late. ‘The moon waned. The dancing came to a stop. Robert was escorting Evelyn to her cabin. “But, Bob, who would want to take my jewels? They're not so very extraordinary. Most of them are only heirlooms.” “You may not realize their value, but others might see a fortune in them. You should take better care of them; put them in the ship's safe, and not leave them in your jewel case the way you do.” “But who would take them? All of my guests are honest people, and they can afford just as many jewels as I can or even more.” “You forget the crew, and then again you have known some of these people only a short time.” “Well, I never thought of it in that manner. Maybe you are right and | ama bit careless, but no one has ever taken anything from Their voices faded away into the night. Robert was coming back to his quarters. Suddenly he stopped and listened. Fle could hear the muffled swishing of oars. This was un- usual. He stood still for a few seconds, as though he were expecting something to happen. Then he heard acry: “My jewels!” He recog- nized the voice of Evelyn. PUIRIPUERW IC He did not wait, but jumped into a life boat and let it down. He rowed for shore. Evelyn had gone into her room, thinking of what Bob had told her. She started to inspect the contents of her jewelry case. Everything of real value was gone. She stood amazed—staring, and then sud- denly she screamed. She ran on deck to find Bob. All she could see as she looked over the dark water was a dim outline of a man rowing a boat. Bob! Could he have stolen her treasures? Had he warned her on purpose? But he couldn’t have taken it; he had been with her all evening. By this time the guests were all out on deck. Evelyn explained to them what had happened. Her eyes ran over the crowd. “Where’s Ruby and John?” she exclaimed! “They haven't been in their rooms all evening,’ remarked the steward. So that explained it! Bob had been working with Ruby and John. He knew of all her diamonds and jewelry. But she couldn't believe that of Bob. The guests were all so excited that none of them went to bed. A wireless message had been sent to the shore, notifying the police. Noth- ing more could be done. Slowly dawn came. While everyone was breakfasting, the radio was played softly. Suddenly the music stopped. ‘The morning news was being broadcast. The first item was an account of the discovery and arrest of an Under- world ring, some of the members of which had been caught by Robert Borden, prominent society youth. The rest of the announcement was drowned out by the excited voices of the guests on the yacht. Kvelyn sighed with relief and pleasure. She had known that it couldn't be Bob.

Ge SEN A Be i KK YS PUIR IZLE All Cle SENIOR CPAs PEAY “Adam and Eva,” a rollicking, comedy, was chosen by the senior committee as the play to be presented by their class on May 13, 1932. The scenes of the play were laid in the King residence on Long Island, and on a chicken farm in New Jersey. The plot of the play deals with the many problems of an American family. Mr. King, the father, is beset with worries over the difficulty of meeting the financial demands of his children, and the family in turn resent his constant talk about economy. In desperation Mr. King turns over the entire situation to his manager, Adam Smith. While solving King’s problems, Smith falls in love with Eva King, and the final outcome ts a happy one. The cast included: Mr. King, a wealthy rubber manufacturer, Clayton Clawson; his daughter Eva, Margaret Copeland; a second daughter who is married, Julie De Witt, Angela Noli; Julie’s husband, Clinton De Witt, William Barsotti; King’s sister-in-law, Aunt Abby Rocker, Eleanor Gould; King’s bachelor uncle, Horace Pilgrim, I 1- wood Ennis; Adam Smith, the young business manager, Robert Tipton; Dr. Delamater, Mayborn Deavenport; Lord Andrew Gordon, a would be son-in-law to King, Clarence McCollister; and Corinthia, parlor maid, Margaret Scribner. Barbara Calahan and Irque Black were chosen as prompter and stage manager. Miss Mildred Lee Brown was the coach. PURPLE MACE TUNIOR CLASS FLAY “Captain Applejack,” the junior class play, was presented in the high school auditorium on December 11, 1931, It was a modern pirate play in which old time pirates and modern burglars caused the specta- tors to experience many thrills. The cast of the play included: Ambrose Applejohn, Bob Archibald; his ward, Kathryn Hawkins; his aunt, Hazel Peterson; an adven- turess, Yolo Mugnolo; her accomplice, Dwight Birch; two robbers, Lillian Kauffman and Robert Daniel; Johnny Jason, a young friend of Applejack’s, William Jennings; Dennet, a crook disguised as an of- ficer of the law, Calvin Jones; Lush, the butler, Willie Venturi; the maid, Dorothy Kline; pirates, Ray Miles, Laddie Allred, trnest Yama- euchi, Erle Santens, Vernon Hunt, Jack Desmond, Gordon Ewing, and Arthur Olivas. ‘The coach was Miss Mildred Lee Brown. Applejohn, having decided that he had been getting into a rut, of- fered his home for sale. To attract purchasers, Johnny Jason, the real estate agent, started rumors about hidden treasures on the place, never dreaming that such was really the case. Crooks, hearing of the treas- ure, were attracted and then the fun began. Woven in with the thrills and adventures was a lovely romance between Ambrose Applejohn and his attractive ward, Poppy Faire. PURPLE RWAlCe Dike VET L@ss@ie eis Dramatics, a spring semester ait ect, is one of the most popular courses that is given by the high school English department. ‘Ihe ee dramatics class started off with such enthusiasm that after the f few sessions the students in the class decided to organize a club, aie the direction of Miss Mildred Lee Brown, the dramatics coach. The members of the dramatics club are: Ruby Carrell, Mary Ellen Davenport, Elwood Ennis, Erle Santens, Gordon F-wing, Verna Frye. Burton Glock, Elizabeth Griggs, Ludema Houlding, William Houseley, Doris Keltie, Raymond Martin, Clarence McCollister, Louis Rahlin, Preston Sorenson, Audrey Reinus, Gilbert Veatch, and William White- head. The student body of the high school was indebted to the Dramatics Club for considerable entertainment in the form of little one act plays which were presented at the regular assemblies and on special occasions. The best liked of these plays was, “When Martha and George Re- turned.” It was presented at the Washington assembly. In this little one act play, Martha and George Washington step o ut of a picture frame into a modern apartment and were bewildered by the many me- chanical and electric things with which the apartment was equipped. Two of the other plays given were: a Harlequinade play, ‘‘The Wonder Hat;” and a Shakespearean burlesque, ‘Portia Pulls a Pinch 1 ave a a oe ay 7B fr 7 ic PURI LER TTA CAST IRE OPE PURPLE MACE OPERE TTA The “Golden Trail,” portraying the adventures of the pioneers of °490 was very successfully presented by the music department on the evening of March 18, 1932. The operetta was based on a plot involving bad, bold bandits who tried to steal some gold entrusted to a pony express rider; a love affair between the rider and a wealthy Don’s daughter ; and the coming of the strong, fearless emigrants who really saved the day when they put the bandits in their places. The plot was very effectively carried out with gay songs and dances by the Spaniards, dashing, self-confident songs by the bandits, peppy jigs and songs by the miners, songs of Mexico by the Mexicans, a coun- try dance by the emigrants, a romantic song by a quartette, and a Spanish tango. Those who took leading parts were as follows: Bill Barsotti as Don Carlos Alvarado, a wealthy widower; Margaret Lease as Dona Barbarita Alvarado, his daughter; Dorothy Davis as Modeste, friend of Barbarita; Merrill Wootten as Don Pedro Carranza, a daring Mex- ican; Ray Miles as Smiling Charles Harrington, the pony express rider ; Rose Arakelian as Carmela, Mexican dancer; Walter Smith as Mike O'Rourke, proprietor of Golden Trail Hotel; C.

Almost immediately after the opening of school in September, 1931, the band leader, H. IF. Mlee- meyer, received a request to furnish music for the Madera County Fair. Although there had been practically no time for preparation and prac- tice after the summer vacation, in response to this request the band gave two programs at Chowchilla. The first program was given in the after- noon of the opening day. ‘The second program was presented the fol- lowing Saturday afternoon, the day on which Governor Rolph gave his address. Besides the two concerts, the band played musical selec- tions between the track events, and for the mounted musical chairs. The second civic project which the band assisted with was the “Old Timer’s Parade.” At this time the band members donned their gay new overseas caps of purple which were designed especially to match the purple and white band uniforms. The new caps were purchased individually by the band members. ‘he band had a prominent part near the front of the parade in which they marched and played. After the parade they played old time melodies in the park. Looking back over the athletic events of the school year we again find the band taking an active part by playing for all of the football games which were played on the home field and by traveling to Mer- ced to play for the “Big Game.” ‘The band was responsible to a large extent for the excellent school spirit which was most noticeable throughout the football season. They helped to foster this spirit by the active part they took at both the pep rally and the Merced game rally. The increased number of students in the school which had to be cared for without any increase in the teaching force, caused many more conflicts in the student’s program and it became necessary to hold evening band practice to enable the upper class students to participate in the band work. The band members were: cornets, Dwight Birch, William Bar- sotti, Beth Clark, Raleigh Rhodes, Louis Gomes, Leonard Gustafson, and Delbert Barcus; clarinets, Victor Senefsky, Gordon Leyh, Everett Bondesen, and Leroy Peime; saxophones, William James, Walter Brown, Wallace Davis, James Hanhart, Lester Himmel, and Truman Lanningham; baritone horn, Clarence Jacobsen, and Mayborn Deaven- port; bass horns, Raymond Miles, James Palmer, William Mott, and Herman Leming; trombone, William Seabury; tenor horns, Joe Slater, and George Kufis; and drums, Wallace Emmert, Otho De Soto, Har- old McKune, and Allen Harkins. PURI Le Werle ORCHESTRA Madera High had a large and accomplished orchestra during the school year of 1931-32. It boasted of nineteen members who were: violins, Frank April, Kathleen Goff, Catherine Pira, Ransom Poy- thress, Margaret Van Vleet, and Narine Weis; trumpets, Dwight Birch, Clarence McCollister, and Raleigh Rhodes; drums, Harold Me- Kune; bass horn, Ray Miles; saxophones, Robert Daniel, Clarence Jacobsen, William James, and Lawrence Ruiz. Although the orchestra never gave an entire program by itself, it assisted with so many of the school functions, it became well known and greatly appreciated by both the high school students and the Ma- dera people. The orchestra played for the junior and senior class plays, the operetta, the Christmas program, the Commencement Exercises, and for numerous minor programs. When it was inconvenient for the entire orchestra to play, smaller groups which were taken from the orchestra played. Some of the students who appeared most fre- quently were: William James, Ruth Barnes, Sue Edgar, Margaret Van Vleet, and Lawrence Ruiz. On many occasions Allen Harkins and Wilham Barsotti assisted with the smaller groups although they were not registered for orchestra work. The musical selections which were chosen for the orchestra by Miss Annabel Denn, director, were varied in style and technique. vital IN � UU — AL [Ne = [S. PURPLE WAC HOOMR Vie The 1931 football season brought with it the most radical change which has been made in the playing of that sport since its introduction to the Madera High School. Up to that time football has always been an afternoon sport, but beginning with September, °31, all games were played in the evening. The night games were made possible by the in- stallation of powerful flood lights which illuminated the field to the brightness of daylight. These lights were placed on high poles, four on each side of the field, thus all glare and shadows were eliminated, ‘The night football enabled many fans to watch the games, who being busy during the afternoons would otherwise have had to forego that pleasure. ‘The new lights have already proven to be a great success. At the close of the first season it was considered a certainty that they would more than pay for themselves. Madera is one of the few high schools to have this type of lighting system. The Madera football squad played nine games during the 1931 season. The games scheduled were with out-standing schools of the San Joaquin Valley, and in spite of keen competition, Madera won three games and tied one. The games were as follows: September 25....Madera J) Fresno High October 2..........Madera Selma @ctoneis] ae Madera Turlock Octobe == Madera October Madera Octobenmezs= Madera Modesto October jie Madera.......51 Stockton November 6. ....Madera Fresno State Frosh November 13....Madera ?- Merced The boys who received letters for football were: ends, Walter W.

Others on the first squad were Orval Hannah, Willie Venturi, and Earl Rogers. Only six letter men will return next fall for football, one of which will have had experience in the backfield and the other five, including captain elect Miles, wil! have had experience in the line. ‘Phe remainder of the 1932 football team will have to be made up from the second string and possible transfers from other schools. BARAGER’S BEARS A light weight team was organized for the first time in 1931, under the direction of K. M. Barager. Though inexperienced and handicapped by weight, the team made a good showing.

Others on the team were: Julius Venturi, Raymond Miles, and Willie Venturi. ‘The majority of the boys on the team were veterans who had played on the 1930-31 team. However, with the start of the new term in February, two of the play- ers, Curtis and Smith, became ineligible as they had completed eight semesters of high school. They were replaced by Case and Miles. The Madera boys had little trouble in winning the league games, although the change of players in the middle of the season slowed them up quite a bit and the last three victories were the result of hard work. Having won the tri-county league championship Madera was eligible to compete for the Northern San Joaquin Valley title. In this series Madera suffered a defeat at the hands of Fresno High School. The final game being played at Fresno on March 12, and the score be- ing Madera 17 and Fresno 21. Fresno after their victory over Madera won the championship for the entire San Joaquin Valley from Porter- ville with a score of Fresno 26, and Porterville 16. Elwood Ennis proved to be a most efficient manager for the A Class team throughout the entire season. Before the league games started the A team played a number of practice games which were quite important. These games not only gave the boys a chance to meet other teams than were scheduled in the league, but also afforded ex cellent practice in preparation for the league games. These extra games and scores were as follows: December 18. Madera 33, Reedley 29; January 8, Madera 23, Fresno 22: Feb- ruary 3, Madera 15, Fresno 29; and February 10, Madera 32, De Mo- SW In TEAM TRACK PURPLE Ce TORIC IS The outlook for the Madera track team at the opening of the 1932 season was very bright as the Madera boys had shown up well in the practice meets which were held at I resno, on March 30, between Fresno High and Madera, the scores being Madera 76, Fresno 64, and at Merced on April 16, between Merced, Turlock, and Madera. In the Merced meet Madera placed second. The records made by the Madera bovs were as follows: Chipman, in the 100 yard dash, 10:1; L. Card- well, in the 220 yard dash, 23.1; Camy, in the 440 vard dash, 55:4; James Ralph, in the 880 distance run, 2:6:3; and Glen Case, in the mile run was 4:55:2; James Davis was on 'Glen’s heels in every meet. Han- nah’s time in the high hurdle was, 16:6; Brunetti’s time in the 220 low hurdle was, 26:7. Harkins was the best discus man with a throw of 106 feet and William James hurled the javelin 168 feet. Deavenport: made a 10 foot jump with the pole vault and Barsotti jumped 20 feet, 5'% inches in the broad jump, and 5 feet, 714 inches in the high jump. The B and C class track teams showed considerable promise. Louis Gomez’ time for the 100 yard dash was 10:4. Clarence Jensen was weight man for B class team, and Frank April best track man in C class. The Bi-County League try-outs were held at Merced on April 23 Madera High’s team competed against Merced on April 30. The fol- lowing schools took part in the finals: Le Grand, Livingston, Chow- chilla, Raymond, Mariposa, Dos Palos, Los Banos, Merced, and Ma- dera. Due to the fact that the annual went to press prior to these meets, it was impossible to publish the results in this book. James, Camy, Hannah, and Deavenport were unable to take part in any of the events of the Bi-County League, because of the C. I. I. ruling regarding the eight semesters in high school. The boys who were out for A class track were: Orval Hannah, William Barsotti, George Wall, Glen Case, James Davis, Henry Hall, Johnny Brunetti, Mayborn Deavenport, Eldridge Camy, James Kufis, Kermit Rayburn, Stephen Chipman, James Ralph, Allen Harkins, Robert Archibald, Kenneth Parkes, William Seabury, Justin Ander- son, William James, and Leland Cardwell. ‘The boys out for B class track were: Edward Burleigh, Clarence Jensen, Robert Barnett, Marian Boring, Clarence Jacobsen, Geno Paolinelli, William Shuman, Stanley Sorenson, Julius Flores, Lawrence Ruiz, Harold MckKune, William Hughes, and Louis Gomez. ‘The boys out for C class track were: David Masosso, Wallace Wong, Jerome Keltie, Raymond W. Brown, Frank April, Albert McKune, Amando Del Bono, Roy Bar- sotti, and William Garner. 2 ies S Wy Yy é PUR IP LEEW In BOYS, BASE BAIL Madera’s baseball team during the 1932 season was made up of about half of the 1931 lettermen; and the remainder inexperienced play- ers. Three of the latter being transfers from other schools. ‘The bat- tery was made up of new players. One was a freshman and the other, a boy out for baseball for the first time. The lettermen were: J. Cereghino, R. Martin, J. Brunetti, and L. Cardwell. Others on the team were: R. Davis, A. Olivas, W. Bar- sotti, P. Baraldi, J. Paravagna, G. Case, G. Paolinelli, R. Romeri, J. Flores, and manager D. Kennell. For the first time in four years the boys had new baseball suits. Part of the new uniforms was supplied by the school board. ‘I'he re- mainder, which included caps, socks, and uppers, was secured by indi- vidual purchases. The new suits were dark gray with a blue stripe and gray and blue caps. Madera’s baseball league schedule was as follows: April 8—Madera vs. Dos Palos, here. April 15—Madera vs. Merced, here. April 23—Madera vs. Livingston, there. April 29—Madera vs. Los Banos, there. May 6—Madera vs. Le Grand, there. PURPLE ICE TENNIS The Madera tennis squad entered into the Bi-County and the Fresno leagues, and battled for high honors against such schools as: Merced, Dos Palos, Fresno, Roosevelt, Caruthers, and Clovis. The team this year was composed of eight players, four of last year’s team, Rinard Pitman, Clayton Clawson, Margaret Scribner, and La Verne Leal; a transfer from Clovis High, Aileen Justice; and three other students, Mary Tognotti, Robert Cook, and Orin Phillips. Practice matches which were held before the league tournaments were: March 30, Kerman 4, Madera 2; April 1, Chowchilla 0, Madera 5; April 4, Kerman 2, Madera 4; April 6, Chowchilla 2, Madera 3. The result of the Bi-County preliminaries held at Merced on April 9 was, Merced 4, Madera 1. Margaret Scribner and La Verne Leal, playing girls doubles, won the right to play in the Bi-County finals. The Fresno League tournament was held in Caruthers on April 16. On the same day, the Bi-County finals were played off in Dos Palos. The annual going to press before these tournaments were staged, the results could not be stated. The tennis ladder this year was as follows: boys, Pitman, Ennis, Clawson, Deavenport, Cook, Phillips, McKinley, Harkins, Sorenson, Leyh, Slater, and Lesan; girls, Leal, Scribner, Justice, Tognotti, For- rest, Cobb, Shuman, and Hughes. PURI LEMMA VOR YB ANIv IE, At the beginning of the volleyball season the Madera team joined the Fresno County volleyball league. The Madera team consisting of nearly all new players, put up a hard fight and showed true sportsmanship. Because of their lack of ex- perience, the defeats which they met were to be expected. The league games which they played were as follows: Kerman on October 15, and again on October 22; Washington Union on October 29; Clovis on November 5; Tranquillity on November 11: and on No- vember 18, Central Union. The Central Union game was the last of the season. The girls volleyball team consisted of Captain, Margaret Copeland; Marjory Worley, Margaret Scribner, Marjory Montgomery, Mary Gai, Jayne Hughes, La Verne Leal, Mae Davis, Audrey Reinius, and Nyma Oberg. The substitutes were: Dorothy Reasonover, Carmen Koenig, Hurshella Reasonover, Marcia Lesan. Margaret Burns, Edra Bondesen, Billie Parker, Kathren Robbins, Helen Radosevich, Florence Ikyman, Margaret Humphreys, and Mary Jane Page. Equal in importance with the league games were the inter-class games. ‘The members of each class desiring a place on a class team had to volunteer and promise to come out for games whenever they were scheduled. There were eight teams, two for each class. CIRC BA SIV I Beware On January 28, 1932, the basketball team started with a victory over the Madera Town Team, the score was 16 to 15. On February 7, 1932, another game was played with the Town Team, but on this oc- casion the high school girls were defeated, the score being 9 to 10 Vhe members of the team included: La Verne Leal and Margaret Burns, forwards; Marcia Lesan, jumping center; Margaret Scribner, running center; Dorothy Davis and Mae Davis, guards. The large enthusiastic group of girls that came out for basketball proved it to be the most popular sport in the high school. The inter-class teams had to be divided into twelve groups, three for each class. ‘To distinguish the three teams belonging to any one class the names Red, White, and Blue were used, the result being four teams of each color, one for each class. In scheduling the games, the teams of similar color played each other. The managers of the inter-class teams were as follows: Red teams—Freshman, Eleanor Coulthard; Sophomore, Irene Snowden: Junior, Elsie Rose; and Senior, Angela Noli. White teams—Fresh- man, Dorothy Farinelli; Sophomore, Edna Ennis; Junior, Beula Mae Brown; and Senior, Yvonne Gates. Blue teams—Freshman, Margaret Gendron ; Sophomore, Fern Sheffield; Junior, Laura Scott; and Senior, Margaret Wetter. PURPLE GIRLS’ BASEBALL The 1932 girls’ baseball team was able to start the season with high hopes of success as five members of the previous team were signed up for that sport. They were: La Verne Leal, pitcher; Margaret Cope- land, catcher; Margaret Burns, first base; Dorothy Reasonover, first shortstop; and Mae Davis, left fielder. The remainder of the team was picked from the following group of girls: Dorothy Davis, Hurshella Reasonover, Harriet Forrest, Daphne Hooper, Marjorie Montgomery, Bertha Oberg, Nyma Oberg, Betty Palmer, Helen Radosevich, Mar- garet Scribner, and Margaret Wetter. Although exact information regarding interscholastic games was impossible, due to press time coming earlier this year than in the past, it was almost a certainty that games would be played with the Kerman high school and Raymond high school teams. Interclass games have always been an important part of the girls athletic program. The main reason for this is the fact that more of the Madera girls are able to take part in them than in the games with other schools, The schedule of interclass games was as follows: May 2, freshman vs. sophomores; May 4, juniors vs. seniors; May 5, fresh- man vs. juniors; May 9, sophomores vs. seniors; May 11, freshman vs. seniors; and May 12, sophomores vs. juniors. ol Re iia aN a a4 ar a = A grain, —— SS PURPLE WA Life is just a bowl of cherries with just as many pits.
