cMADISONIAN 19 3 1 gMAdison high school FOREWORD UR minds are ever prying into that mystic sometime. The Future! We work, worry and sacrifice in order to be able some day to realize a dream or fond ambition. Each day is filled with sun- shine and showers, but the showers that fall upon our lives are only a means of refreshing hidden hopes. The desire of the compilers of this Madisonian ' ' has been to bring back memories that will endure; to rekindle that Divine spark that will forever lead us to the realization of fond ideals. DEDICATION D ' f J ' J ' E DEDICATE this book to the Rexburg Chamber of Commerce in recognition of its serxices in promoting the advancement of our school in every conceivable way. It has aided us in many activities. The members contributed freel} ' to send the State Champion bas- ketball team to Chicago last year; they have again shown their interest in Madi- son High b ' assisting in the publication of our year book ; they have helped to make our high school days a pleasant chapter of memories. In appreciation of these manv services we dedicate to the Chamber of Commerce this volume of the Madisonian. ' ' History of Madison Hig,h ScKool N April 24, 1923, at a meeting of the School Board, a motion was carried to establish a two-year high school. On May 2, 1923, the name Madison High School was decided upon and E. L. Liljenquist was selected as principal of the high school which was to be run independently of the grade schools. The first school year was begun on September 17, 1923, with an enrollment of 206 — 100 for the first-year class and 106 for the second-year class. During this year a wagon route was established for the purpose of giving to students outside of Rexburg the advantages of an efficient school. So much territory is now being covered that motor busses replace the wagons and give efficient service to students who do not live near the high school. To increase the efficiency of the schools, on February 28, 1925, the School Board voted to combine the high school and the city grade schools under one superintendent. E. L. Liljenquist was appointed to fill this position and R. M. Kerr was elected principal of the high school. In July, 1927, Ezra S. Stucki began as superintendent of the city schools. The first third-year course was established in 1928- 1929, and in 1929-1930 a full four-year high school was con- ducted with a graduating class of 77. Since its beginning, Madison High School has progressed steadily. Every year new equipment and new courses have been added. The students have shown great interest in its advance- ment, which is evidenced by the numerous district and state championships which they have won. Those who are interested in the well-being of Madison High School can only hope that its future will be as bright as its past. ) Our School Song, iADISON HIGH our Alma Mater we are here i Ready to sing your songs and for you ever cheer, We ' re ever near you, proud to cheer you, And your boat to help you steer, For we ' re boosters of our Madison High. Chorus: We will sing for dear old Madison High, For the school we love so dear. Let our praises reach the sky. Still we can ' t o ' er praise our Madison High. Oh! Let our cheers and chorus never die; For her future have no fear. For we ' re out again to win Thru the thick or thru the thin, While we boost for Madison High. I When in the future we review the days all past. Our support to you will be still firm and fast. You can depend upon our helping, for we ' ll stay until the last, For we ' re boosters of our Madison High. S. J. SKELTON J. E. GRAHAM H. O. LENROOT W. L. ADAMS C. A. HARRIS F. S. PARKINSON CbairDian School Board HE students of Madison High School feel greatly indebted to the members of the school board of this district for their untiring efforts in making our school a superior institution. They have shown real consideration in directing our affairs and anticipating our needs. They have given us genuine en- couragement in our various activities. As students, our unanimous expression is one of gratitude and appreciation for our progressive school board. Our Superintendent Superintendent Stucki has greatly aided us in main- taining the ideals of our school. He has been instrumental in placing the institution on a firm basis as a four year high school. His sympathetic understanding, his earnest- ness and integrity, his intellectual guidance, and his interest in the development and progress of our school have won for him our admiration and respect.

We students are the occupants of this carriage, sometimes en- joying ourselves — perhaps sometimes, we ' re bored. Out on the driver ' s seat sits our Superintendent, watching carefully. • ' An argument arises as to which is the most necessary part of the coach. One student thinks the class advisors, like the top and back brace, to carry the burdens, are the most essential. We agree that the wheels, English and Mathematics, must move forward, if the carriage is to be a success. Suddenly the brake squeaks out, Believe it or not you ' re out of your seat — a warning that we ' re slipping near a mud-hole. We know that science teachers, like the main springs add pleasure to the ride. The Hom e Economics teacher, like the trimming, furnishes gaiety and comfort. We see that seminary, compared to the carriage tongue skill- fully guides us away from the mire. As we ponder over these facts, a new thought bursts in upon us. A Colonial carriage performs well only when each part is in its place. We ' re proud that our faculty members are so well selected and united that they can be likened to a stage coach of the good old colonial days.

To begin their upward climb to success they elected a group of very capable class officers. Following this, the Seniors put forth every effort possible to make their dream materialize. The glorious heights of success came nearer into view with each succeeding school activity, for the Seniors took an active part in football, basketball, debating, and dramatic activities. Mr. D. W. Nelson, the class advisor, proved his ability as a leader by the encouragement he gave the class and by the helpful suggestions which he offered. By following his guidance the class has been moving steadily upward. Page Sixteen LETHA MACHF.N Jiall always he truthful, smiling and nay. CLOU) HINCKLLY He! The linhf and life of IIS all.

It is also impossible to know by the size of the class, how much it can accomplish. Though the Juniors had one of the smallest enrollments of any class in school this year yet they were always on the job in their activities. The Junior Prom is perhaps the biggest single event of the school year. The Juniors of this year made of it an event worth noticing. Now when any one person gets into the ballroom of a ship and tries to go around the world in a single night, he always finds his journey far behind schedule at the end of the evening. But the Juniors accom- plished the impossible in their around the world decoration theme, and they gave their guests a very good voyage, too. When the Opera and the School Play were presented, the Juniors did their bit in making them a success. With the help and guidance of the class advisor, Mr. Devenport, the Junior Class has had a very successful year.

They seem to be especially adapted to putting things over, as their activity and class work has shown. They have the real zest to make Madison a model school, and have always been willing to assist in anything that is requested. They have shown their ability by contributing two members to the debating team, and their basketball team, with good support, won the Inter-Class Basketball Tournament. Their Sophomore Frolic was a regular carnival of frolic, fun and immense enjoyment. These things have been done through cooperation of their competent class officers and class members.

When the group first came to school they were slightly bewildered, but they soon found themselves. The class has talent, high scholarship, and school spirit. They have splendid athletes and dramatists who will gain greater recognition in the future. This group has demonstrated splendid initiative and a fine spirit of cooperation. We feel that their influence will be strongly felt for good during the coming three years.

October seventh sounded the gong for the gang-plank to be lifted. The S. S. Madison had begun another of her many voyages. Each face • on board looked toward a bigger and better school. As captain of our crew no better one could have been chosen than Harold Wright. Following immediately behind him was our com- mander, Albert Pieper. As our purser we chose Edgar Wynn. No voyage could be carried out successfully without a recreation leader and a peppy cheer leader for our ship. Ross Harris and Harold Lenroot filled these offices. Then into the capable hands of Mary Heath and George Madsen we placed the responsibility of our year book and school paper. Many projects have been undertaken by the student body this year. For all our accomplishments we must give due credit to the faithfulness of our officers, who in their several capacities and their varied aptitudes have piloted the ship of Madison High on its glorious voyage of the 1930-31 school year. Page Forty LaReli.e nelson President RUBY LILJENQL ' LST Secrelary The Alumni Association I AST year an alumni association was formed in the school by its first graduating class. This organization has for its purpose the carrying forward of the ideals of the school and the work of its Alma Mater, Madison High School. Madison is justly proud of its graduates, because in almost every case they are following pursuits that will lead to great achievements and success. It is our desire that through this association an intimate relation- ship may be maintained between our graduates and their Alma Mater. We welcome them as a permanent part of our institution. Page Forty-one Madison Hi h Boosters Club J URING the latter part of the school year, the bursting enthusiasm which was being spread through out the school was gathered to- gether in form of a Booster ' s Club. The purpose of this club was to work for the best interests of the Madison High School; to assist in student activities; to elevate student morale by helping those deficient in this quality. The Madison High School Booster ' s Club is a live, energetic, pro- gressive organization which advances the best interests of the school and aids in the successful realization of all worthwhile objectives carried on by students. Piige Forty-two Seminary Grxiduates I ' HE L. D. S. Seminary is not a department or part of the high school. The students thereof are permitted to leave the high school during the day for one or more periods to take religious education in the seminary. For the Old and New Testament classes state credit is given, but those taking the Church History classes receive no state credit. On the completion of the three courses, students receive a diploma of graduation from the seminary by the Church Board of Education. During the years 192 5-26 and 1926-27, Mr. George S. Tanner pioneered the movement for a scmmary by coming from Sugar City and teaching one class a day. His successor, Mr. Cecil Merkley, carried the work on during 1927-28. The enrollment increased during the next two years under the direction of Robert Gibbons, assisted by Oswald Christcnsen. This year Leon M. Strong is principal. The enrollment is higher than for any previous year and there will be twenty-four seminary graduates on May 17. The courses this year are exceptionally interesting and instructive. Pi.

This year the staff is putting out a year book representative of the ideals of the student body. The various student activities that are of principal importance and interest are given the hearty support of students and faculty. The publishing of a better book each year is just a reflection of the progressiveness of the Madison High School. The staff wishes to extend their gratitude and appreciation to Mr. Devenport, the faculty advisor, who has made this annual representative of the student . body.

Much interesting and instructive material has appeared in its columns. A number of profitable changes have been made under the able management of editor George Madsen and his staff of loyal workers. The way in which this work has gone forward is a credit to our school. The Parent Day Number was especially of merit. The high standard which the paper has maintained during the year has caused students to look forward with pleasure to each number published. Appreciation of the student body is extended to Miss Richards and other faculty advisors who have aided in the publication of The M News.

Madison debated Blackfoot and Pocatello with non-decisions. They defeated Rigby on Feb. 20, winning both decisions. On March 19, they met in a triangle debate with Driggs and Mid- way. Our affirmative defeated Driggs negative and our negative defeat- ed Midway. This gave us the district championship. On April 9, we had another triangle debate with Blackfoot and Moore. Madison negative won over Moore affirmative at Rexburg, but Madison ' s negative lost to Blackfoot.

With the perfect characterization of the parts, we must say, with all, that the cast was well selected. Much credit is due Miss Peterson for her work in putting before the public such a finished production. Her Husband ' s Wife ' A. E. Thomas Nora {the maid) Mildred Wright Richard Beluln Alhcrf Picper John Belden Harold Lcnroot Irene Randolph Madge Middleton Emily Ladew Dorothy Wright Stewart Randolph Harold Wright Each member of the cast reached, in a measure, the fine possibilities of the play. The plot of which centers around Irene Randolph who imagines she is not long for this world. Irene chooses Emily Ladew as the ideal wife for her husband. Uncle JoKn Belden with his discerning eyes interprets perfectly the situation. Therefore, with the aid of Irene ' s husband, Stewart, and her brother, Richard, they make matters so complicated for Irene that she forgets all about the medicines she has instructed Nora, the maid, to bring to her. Irene is suddenly in good health which makes her charming again to the delight of all concerned. The result is much to the delight of Emily and Richard who have previously had a very interesting romance. Page Fifty-one Mr. Fawson C usic department V 7E are proud cf the accomplishments of the music department. It is a real and genuine satisfaction to see the enthusiasm and progress that have characterized the work in music throughout the year. Under the able leadership of Mr. Fawson, music has taken a prom-nent part in school activities. We are glad to see this advancement over previous years. Two glee clubs have been organized, Orphus, girls club, and the Lyres, boys club. They have chosen white sweaters having the insignia of their club on them. These are worn whenever they appear at programs. The glee clubs have been always ready with splendid numbers for school programs or for entertain- ment out of school. They have sung for the Rotarians, and for other organizations. A junior band cf thirty-five members is doing some very fine work. Their music at the football and basketball games gave life and pep to the games. Mr. Fawson expects to increase the numbers in the band and develop it into one of the best in the state. The orchestra is also doing very splendid work. This year an awakening has occurred in the music department. It reflects the progress cf our school along its many lines of endeavor. We feel sure that this department will continue to build under such leadership. Piige Fifty-two 1 The Orchestra Back Row — Gordon Nadauld, Dwain Nadauld, Mark Hegsted, Lavar Peterson.

DEVENPORT Costumes MISS WALZ Scenery Dancing Instructors School Opera ' j ' HE annual opera, Belle of Barcelona, under the excellent direction of Mr. Fawson and Miss Peterson, proved to be the finest production yet given by the music department of the school. It demonstrated to an appreciative audience, the careful and painstaking efforts which had been made to produce the opera. The whole production had a finish and polish seldom achieved in high school operas. Imagine a Belle of Barcelona, an American aviator, Spanish aviator and axiatrix, an English governess, Spanish toreadors and a red headed Irishman, all rolled into one opera. No wonder: Sherman sang, I ' ve found her. Laura smiled, It can ' t be true. Francis swaggered, I am a schemer bold. Harold Lenroot ventured, Woman, woman, thou art devine. Ruth meditated, I ' m in love with an Irishman. Comrad and Leona cooed, Honeymooning after green cheese. Wilford and Maxine declared, We want our daughters to be happy. So, with bold Senors singing, coquettish Senoritas dancing, bells ringing, and They lived happily ever after, no wonder everyone de- parted saying, Yes, it was one of the best entertainments of the season. Page Fifty-live Senior Hop I ' HE seniors showed their talent for entertaining when they gave one of the most successful parties ever given by Madison students. The decorations were well chosen and artistically arranged. Every one had a joyful time. Prominent people from our own and surrounding communities attended. This social event of April 3 0, 193 1, will long be remembered. The seniors under the direction of D. W. Nelson as their advisor, have filled the school year with splendid accomplishments. Com m ' lttce Carmen A rnold Mark He G sted Helen Potter B eth Ricks LeRoy G A Ibraith LaRoy W ilmore Maurine L iljenquist Under the capable direction of the above officers of the Home Ec. Club and the Ag. Club the first annual Ag. Bawl was held on the 5 th of December. The hall was decorated with appropriate harvest decorations. During the course of the evening the dancers were favored with a variety of professional dancing. These numbers together with the cordial spirit that prevailed throughout the dance made it a huge success. CAward all Awards are given every year to deserving students. Those who have measured up to certain standards in basketball, football, debating, and dramatic contests received individual awards. Special assemblies are held to make the awards and express gratitude to those who have upheld the standards of our school. We urge students to avail themselves of the opportunities the school offers in the special activities. The Award Ball, given May 8, in appreciation of honors won by students, was a unique affair. Page Fifty-six The Junio? Promenade A JUNIOR PROMENADE, to be held aboard the S. S. Madison! That sounds interesting! As the guests walked up the gangplank aboard the steamer, they passed the Captain ' s quarters and the Check Room and then approached the main deck. Such a scene they had never seen before. From the deck could be seen various countries of the earth. To the West there was Hawaii, with its palms and straw huts; to the Southwest there loomed the tall windmills of Holland; and to the South was China, with its tea gardens and odors of burning incense. In proud old Spain handsome Senors serenaded their fair Senoritas; and a little farther to the East was Venice, with gondolas gliding slowly on the moonlit water. To the North was Iceland, with the Eskimo Igloos and fur covered sledges, with the exquisite colors of the Northern Lights in the distance. The Sophomore Frolic THE Sophomore Frolic is an event looked forward to annually by every student in high school. This year it was very successfully given in carnival style. Balloons, confetti, and serpentine added to the pleasure of the numerous couples dancing. Page Fifty-ieven LYNN SPAULDING LOWELL BIDDULPH REED RICHMAN Athletic Manager Coach Captain Basket Ball ] y fADISON High ' s basketball season was very successful. With three of last year ' s substitutes to build a team around, Coach Biddulph developed a fast moving machine. Out of 7 league games only one was lost. The most outstand- ing and exciting games of the season were the ones with Idaho Falls, Pocatello and Paris. Although the team didn ' t win state championship they made a very enviable record. Madison should be congratulated on the splendid sportsmanship that is displayed in every game that is played. We are very proud of our 1931 Bobcats. Practice Games ' Rigby 27 M. H. S. 28 Alumni 30 M.

Page Sixty-two Football THE Bobcats mauled a bewildered Sugar City eleven 32-0 in their opening tiff September 19. The Bobcats have their revenge at last. Last year Sugar City beat Madison to the tune of 14-0. That score has been completely wiped out. The Bobcats outplayed them in every way this year and evened the score they had against them. After the meowing and clawing had ceased, the torn fur raked to one side, and the gore mopped up, a bruised Bobcat and a bloody Cougar left the field. Such is the fortune of war among the great cats and they are great. On September 26 the big red and black machine from St. Anthony stalked into town with an average weight of 175 lbs. The Madison Bobcats presented a fast, well- balanced team whose weight averaged around 1 5 5 lbs. The game was fast and furious but the St. Anthony Cougars proved too much for the brave Bobcats and the final score stood 3 0-7 in favor of St. Anthony. The valorous Bobcats met the gallant fighters of Ashton at that town in a competition of football on October 3 1. The earnest struggle for superiority was won by the Ashton team. Two touchdowns were made in the first two minutes of play — one by each team. Many long runs were made by both sides, but the final score was 19-6 for Ashton. The victorious Bobcats of Madison played the hard-hitting football team of Firth, at Tirth, on November 7. The game was very interesting and displayed hard fighting. Firth was unable to hold the fast Bobcat eleven a nd the resulting score was 14-6 in Madison ' s favor. On November 1 1 the Madison football team met with the football team of Driggs. The Basin team was assuredly no match for our fighting Bobcats. The visiting team only entered scoring territory once during the entire game while Madison made touchdowns thick and fast. The players left the field with a score of 68-0. Madison has indeed enjoyed a splendid season in football. For only having two years of football in the school the team has done remarkably well. The players displayed good, steady ball all season. With Reed Richman, the swift quarter back, and sturdy Lynn Spaulding as full back to aid the line, Madison gave the other teams of this district a run for their money. The team is to be congratulated for its splendid sportsmanship and clean playing. Out of seven games played, Madison lost but two.

It offers elementary studies in biology, physics, general science, physiology and chemistry. Biology is required of sophomores while the other courses are elective. Chemistry has just been added to the department this year. This is a forward step in the development of Madison ' s course of study. It has furnished much entertainment in the line of fireworks and minor explosions as well as being very instructive. We feel that chemistrv has been an outstanding success as a new course in our school. This year a great deal of new apparatus, including a complete and up to date chemistry laboratory has been added to the department, making it one of the best equipped departments in this section. These factors along with a learned and able corps of instructors have made a very successful year. Page Sixty-seven First Negro: Boy, you is so thin you could close one eye and pass for a needle.

He stood before the spotted leopard ' s cage for a few minutes staring intently. Then, turning to his mother, he asked. Say, Ma, is that the Dotted Lion that everybody wants Dad to sign on?

Zola: Aw, why can ' t I just powder it like you do yours? Mr. Stucki: When I was twenty, I made up my mind to get rich. Mr. Kerr: But you never became rich. Mr. Stucki: No, I decided it was a lot easier to change my mind. Page Seventy-four Hu Here ' s a story about a Scotchman that ' s different! A conductor on a London street car noticed an elderly Scotchman and a young Scottish lad. The old man was holding a watch in his hand and was studying it with intense interest. Suddenly he seemed satisfied and looked up. Seeing the conductor, he beckoned him. What is it? asked the conductor. I want to pay the rest of my grand- son ' s fare, replied the highlander. The conductor has since recovered. mop Mother: Why are you reading that book on the rearing of children? Cloid H.: To see if you are bringing me up properly.
