The Booster's Club Sponsors The Football Banquet Madison and elementary school activ- ities and athletics have been greatly helped and supported by the Madison Booster Club. Throughout the school year the boosters provide many things for the con- venience, pleasure, and education of our students. This year the press box was built by the club. New parkas were pro- vided for the Ram football team. As they have done in other years the members sent the Madison Marching Band to the away football games. The football team was taken to Cleveland to see the Cleveland Browns play the Philadelphia Eagles. The students really appreciated all these ef- forts of the Boosters. The Booster Club sponsors the Foot- ball Banquet and the All-Activities Ban- quet which provide good fun and enter- tainment for the students. A lawn fete is sponsored at the end of the school year. This is the climax of the year's events. The May King and Queen are crowned at this time on the football field. Through this the greatest part of the club's funds are obtained. They also run the concession stand at the football games. Thanks again to the Booster's for their interest in us. J OFFICERS Walter Kelley --- ......
