A Touch Of Creativity As the Hawk Talks were read, the play programs glanced through, or even the T-shirts worn by Ma- dison's athletic teams were admired, Madison stu- dents may have wondered who printed them. The credit went fully to Madigraphs, Mr. Nelson's oc- cupational graphic arts class. Madigraphs is a club that is held responsible for almost all of the school's printing. Only the finest graphic art students at Madison can join. The stu- dents in the class must have had at least one year of graphics and a very high interest in the subject. One senior, Jace Biendara, said, I think the best thing about Madigraphs is that there are virtually no limits as to what can be done, and if you saw Jace driving around school in his flashy car, his meaning definately got across. Madigraphs is known for it's busy schedule, and stu- dents are frequently asked to be excused from their classes to continue their work. Junior, Keith Odle, said, We are held responsible for Project Succeed cards, passes, news letters, and a lot of teachers ask us to make test copies for them. When we can break away from our busy schedule, we sometimes get to work on our own personal projects. Even with all of the hard work, it's a lot of fun. Junior, Keith Odle and sophomore, Didicr Suarez prepare the presses for their daily printing. Senior. Jace Biendara is busy working with what he considers the backbone of graphics. Busy at work. Mr. Nelson's first period class hustles to meet the teacher's expectations. 110 Organizations

Reaching For The Stars The Madison Theater Arts Guild Drama Club, or MTAG, has had a great year. The functions of the club are to arrange to go to various plays around San Diego County, and to encourage students, even if they aren't in a drama class, to become involved in school dramatic productions. Some of the different activities that take place dur- ing the weekly meetings include theater games to let people become involved in learning new techniques with improvosations, and to improve their dramatic skills. If individuals do not care to go on stage, they do not have to participate. The President of MTAG this year. Shannon Powers, said, I have fulfilled all of my goals by being in Drama Club and feel that I have contributed something to my school. The Vice President was Tony Parham and the Secretary and Treasurer was Pam Park. The advisor for the past seven years was Dennis Hollenbeck. Some of the projects that were worked on for the 87-88 year were the production of The Female Odd Couple, Talent Show, and one other major play. This year the MTGA was productive and worthwhile to all the club members. Front row: Pam Park, Shannon Powers, Tony Parham. Dennis Hollenbeck. Second row: Gina Dicataldo, Kathy Davis. Julie Spieler.
