FOREWORD Just what is a foreword? It seems to be an old and established custom for annuals to have ONE, at least. Why? The purpose is to make clear to the reader, the editor and staff's attempt to contribute to historical literature of Madera Union High School, (No doubt some explanation is necessary. ) Progress! That's what we have used for the theme of this annual. Miracles are happening every day; in fact, so many unusual things have occurred the past few years that when we hear about a new wonder we scarcely condescend to ask, “what is it?” ur editorial hopes are to show the relations between school life and this world of progress. ‘lhe division pages, therefore, are meant to symbolize the spirit which we believe is reflected by each division. Co-operation and financial assistance by friends, faculty, and students have made possible the publication of this edition of the Purple and White. Special thanks are given Dick MeGilvray, who assisted with the art work. For all of this we bow, say thank you, and exit. Page 5 FACULIY L. C.

Never before has there been so many students with approximately the same high scholastic averages There are seven Seniors who received a pold seal on their diplomas. Those receiving this honor were: Dick Hardin, Beth Clark, Margaret Fahey, Sylvia Munter, Betty O'Neal, Virginia Rowe, and Nadine Upton. An outstanding fact to be recognized was that over one-third of the Senior class took part in activities including: Student body offices, Student Council, Boys’ Federation and Girls’ ‘League. This statement alone proves the splendid co-operation and active interest w hich was shown by the Senior class as a whole. Altogether there were one hundred and thirteen gr aduating Seniors in this year’s class. Graduation exercises were conducted in a new and unusual way in the form of a pageant in which the whole school participated. ‘The title of the historical drama was “The Builders’ At 8:00 o’clock on Sunday evening, June 2, the 3accalaureate serv- ices were held for the Seniors. The Reverend Cecil T. Axworthy spoke on “ Adam—1935 Version” Three capable officers were elected by the class during the year who were: President, W ‘lia iam Saunders; Vice-President, Dick Hardin, and Secretary-Treasurer, Eleanor Shuman. A new type of class day was inaugurated this year by the Seniors. In previous years this day was known as “sneak day”. This year, however, the whole class journeyed to Bass Lake for the day accompanied by Ross E. Kinney, class adviser, Miss Leonora Bailey, and Milburn Wright. The S eniors took an active interest in social affairs this year, also. The al Senior-Al fb 7 10) ber 20 The annual Senior-Alumni banquet, given on December was one of the outstanding social events of the year. On April 12, a dance was given in the high school cafeteria by the Maderan and Purple and White staffs. Ta Easter motif was carried out with bunnies, eggs, and Easter decorations. The Mother’s Tea, given on May 17, was another enjoyable aiaiaytts sponsored by the class of ’35. This year, the three hundredth anniversary of the high schools, the development of the secondary school from its beginning in the Latin Grammar school, provided the theme. This motif was carried out in a dramatical and musical program which was presented. The decorations in the cafeteria also, carried out the motif. The girls of the class were hostesses to the mothers. The Senior class girls apparently surpassed all records of charm; fifteen lovely girls are preparing to take up matrimonial life in the near future. Page 16 SENIOR B’S Front Center—Barratta.

CLASS ES Upper and lower classmen managed to keep class, sport, and social activities at high speed during the year. Many events conducted by the classes claimed the spotlight and are tucked safely away in memory books. Although the Senior B class which entered high school in February, 1932, was small in size and unorganized, many of its members took outstanding parts in the sports and social activities of Madera Union High School. Memories of the romantic Spanish days were brought back when the Junior class transformed the plain, cream-toned cafeteria, familiar to all, into a moonlit patio of old Spain. The excellent music added further to the romantic setting for the annual Junior-Senior Prom. Those who were responsible for the gala decorations were: Josephine JUNIORS Row 1—Ficklin, Cortopassi, Crick, Fessler, Foth, Jas. Desmond, Bryhn, Ferrarese, Brown, Ericson.

The entertainment committee, headed by Gladys Basye who was assisted by Buddy Rhodes and Ray Phillips, worked industriously to make the evening gay. Skits, vocal selections, and other novelty enter- tainment between dances carried out the atmosphere of a fiesta in Spain. When the guests arrived they were cordially greeted by members of the reception committee which included: Juanita Massey, chairman; Everett Bondesen, Carroll Justice and Dorothy Loveland. On the refreshment committee Catherine Williams, chairman, was assisted by Harold Moon. JUNIORS Row 1—Rasmussen, Phillips, Valenzuela, Pollos, Young, Pavey, Simonian, Thomas, Schwartz.

The very clever and well planned Prom was made possible from the proceeds of Junior class play, “Growing Pains”. This dramatic comedy was presented on Friday evening, January 18 in the school auditorium and netted the class treasury a substantial amount. While many members of the class of ’36 were interested in plays, and school social activities, others in the group were to bring the Junior rating to the top in football, baseball, basketball, track, and tennis. The class officers were: Jim Bradley, president; Carroll Justice, vice president; and Josephine Martinelli, secretary-treasurer. While the Juniors were working on school activities the Sophomores were striving to show up the Juniors in every way possible. They started the year by showing the little Irosh just exactly where they came in. This seemed to be any side door. Only a few of the Freshmen tried to enter the forbidden door but they humbly submitted to their punishment. When the Sophomores saw that they had subdued the Freshmen they seemed to feel sorry for them and gave them a big party called the I reshman Reception where they played drop the handkerchief, ring around the rosy, and other similar games. Lorin Hammond acted as master of ceremonies and Herbert Fu- trell, student body president, welcomed the Frosh at their reception. During the year it appeared that the Sophomores had a great desire to dance. As a result of this desire they gathered a group together and with the help of Miss Leonora Bailey started a dancing class. Although any classman can enter this class it seemed to be taken up mostly by the Sophomores. As soon as these young Sophomores had got the knack of dancing they immediately decided to have a party all their own. As the story went the Sophomore boys had been cheated out of dancing with the Sophomore girls when the upper classmen SOPHOMORES Row 1—Cortopasi, Allred, Austin, Cloyd, Cimino, Cereghino, Enos, B.

According to them they were not going to stand for it again so they had the party exclusively for Sophomores. The class officers were: President, Roy Archibald; vice President, Jayne Schmitz, and Secretary, Verl House. These people are to be complimented upon the fact that the Sophomores were the best organized group in school during the year nineteen hundred and thirty-five. When the Freshmen entered school at the beginning of the year they soon settled down to the regular routine of the school. They were soon participating on the hghtweight football team preparing to someday play on the varsity, that is 1f they ever grow up. Many of them made up the “C” basketball team and one of the members went so far as to play on the “A” class team. They surprised the school as a whole by having eleven of the group on the track team.

Page 20 While many of the Ireshmen were participating in the sports of the school others were working to attain a scholastic record. The class officers elected by this group of one hundred and eighty students were: President, Jack Schmitz, and Vice-President, Max Patterson. Individual members of the various classes combined to present nov- elty entertainment for the student body at various intervals and one of the outstanding groups was the accordian trio. It was composed of three girls: Mabel Mariscotti, Junior; Velda Mae Letoile, Sopho- more; and Myrtle Gustafson, Freshman, This trio had unusual suc- cess and entertained not only for class parties and assemblies, but, also, for outside organizations such as the farm centers and the service clubs. Besides these students there were a number who were organized in quartets, string ensembles and other musical groups which repre- sented the school on a number of occasions such as on Parents’ Night and for the open house program given for the public during Public Schools Week. Among the various groups of musical talented individuals who gave outside performances, was the Boys’ Trio made up of Harrison Catch- ing, Robert Dearing and Dick Hardin. ‘hese boys and Harold Moon also formed a quartette. ‘The Girls Trio, Adeline Cerioni, Helen Hagle, and Dolores Loges also sang. A vocal ensemble including Molly Camy, Eugenia Carnes, Adeline Cerioni, Ruby Ennis, Ruth Hawes, and Jean Merritt sang on several occasions. During the program for the Mother’s Tea, an Old Fashioned Sing- ing School including Hazel Barnett, Helen Davis, Robert Dearing, Ruby Ennis, Irol Gangbin, Milton Gould, Helen Hagle, Dick Hardin, Carroll Justice, Jean Merritt, and Harold Moon, gave a very entertain- ing performance.

One which included Everett Bondesen, Bobby Brown, Dot Loveland, Buddy Rhodes, and David Warburton played frequently. The Sophomore orchestra ran close competition in the noise mak- ing. This group included Bobby Brown, Richard Cook, Ray Phillips, Jane Schmitz, and Eddie Simonian. Classical and popular pieces were played by the string ensemble. Those who took part in this were: Jane Desmond, Norma Jones, Mir1- am Munter, Edith Pearson, Darwin Shebelut, Morgan Sheldon, Betty Merritt, and David Warburton.

Futrell, one student body president who really made a determined effort to carry out his campaign promises, had a most satisfactory term of of fice. Among the major activities which went over was the sale of student body tickets. ‘The success- ful sale of these cards makes pos- sible many school activities such as dances, awards for participation in sports, The Maderan, and assem- blies. An innovation in social activity was the dance sponsored by the out- going council for the president-elect for the spring term. ‘This dance was given on Friday evening, February 1. WILLIAM SAUNDERS Vice-President MARIE JUSTICE Secretary The Student Body Council was most energetic in boosting all forms of sports and attempted to keep up school spirit by pep rallies.

SLUD ENT COUNCIE SECOND SEMESTER The farmers were in the saddle LORRI CRER RED during the second semester with President Robert Crawford, former [Future ‘armer president, directing the busy spring term. One of the first, and important, problems faced by the council at iLTRANn “AA GRDURR this time was the sale of Purple Vice-President and Vhite subscriptions. So well ! did the council back the project that | sales, set for a 400 total. reached i the 470 mark and the subscription | drive went over the top. Crawford went into office on a eee platform based mainly on more equal distribution of student body officers. He saw the success of his proposed reform when the council voted, at one of the final meetings, to prohibit a student holding more than one major student body office. ; Assemblies to please the varied tastes of high school students brought some notable persons and groups to add to pleasant memories. Among these were: C. A. Harwell, Yosemite National Park natural- ist; the Whittier College Glee Club; and the Russian Singers. STUDENT COUNCIL—SECOND SEMESTER Row 1—C. Justice, R.

Miss Annabel Hall, language teacher, had the pleasure of guiding the activities of the group during the year. The first jaunt took in a conference at Fresno on April 13, while on the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh of that same month, the longer and apparently more enjoyable trip was made. ‘That convention was held at Hayward Union High School, Hayward. During the fall semester, the enterprising organization began building its fifty-dollar scholarship fund. This award is given to one of the ten ranking Seniors who have achieved scholarship honors during the four years in high school. The seal bearers of the class of “35 were guests of honor at a banquet held on Friday evening, May 31, at the Hotel Aragon, Those honored were: Dick Hardin, Beth Clark, Margaret Fahey, Sylvia Mun- ter, Betty O’Neal, Virginia Rowe, and Nadine Upton. Perhaps it was with the idea of comparing the leadership of a fellow and a girl that the group elected Bill Saunders for the fall term and Betty O'Neal for the spring semester. ‘The comparison must have satisfied the most exacting as the whole year was rated a highly successful one.

One notable example is the change to a more modern form for the commencement exercises. Instead of a speaker, the school pre- sented an outdoor pageant on the athletic field. Mi ss Mary Lou Shet- ler, dramatics instructor, wrote the production called “The Builders” for which the keynote was the development and growth of our citizens and state. There were three main divisions of the production: “Builders of the Past”; “Building Materials”; and “Builders of the Future’. The theme song selected as the musical emphasis was Charles Wakefield Cadman’s, “The Builders”’. “Builders of the Past”, the first section, depicted the historical events and famous personalities of the early era. Among the famous men whose deeds were dramatized were: Vallejo, Father Serra, Vis- caino, and Captain Merritt. Tableaux representing “Building Materials” formed the major por- tion of the second division. The pioneers, the Indians, and the miners whose manner of living gave a most colorful note to history, made excellent material for the dramatic scene in this part of the pageant. Especially dramatic in its historical significance was the Days of ’49 which brought so many thousands to California and gave much in build- ing material. The final division, entitled “Builders of the Future” had for its most important persons, the Senior class members. This espisode showed the educational contributions which build for the future. ‘The five subdivisions of this part depicted the training for vocations, health, and home-making with the additional requirements for a well rounded lite: culture, art, and music. The prologue and epilogue written by Miss Shetler, also, was given by Norma Benjamin, member of the class of °35. The inspiration for the pageant came from the Nation-wide observa- tion of the tercentenial anniversary of the establishment of free sec- ondary schools. The Boston Latin School, which was organized in 1635, was the first free public school of its kind in the United States. The pageant in its concluding section shows the development of free secondary school education from that early beginning in Boston. Approximately two hundred and fifty students took part in the production, “The Builders”, while eighteen members of the faculty supervised the technical work. Combined orchestra and choruses under the direction of Miss Annabel Denn furnished the music. ‘he chorus assisted the Seniors in singing the Processional and the closing selection, ‘America the Beautiful”. A special verse choir interpreted the pageant.

The story concerns the members of the slightly cock-eyed Rimplegar household, who are considerably well-to-do. The fun begins when they find themselves penniless. “Mama” dons her wrapper, does up her hair in a Turkish towel, and meanders dizzily around the house. The children, therefore, must go to work, even though they are unac- customed to labor. Rich or poor, the Rimplegars are the same, since they never tamper with logic.

ORCHESTRA In opening night programs, the orchestra, under the able super- vision of Miss Annabel Denn, fits every occasion, These girls and fellows make such a lively group that their pictures had to be taken three times before all of them could sit still at the same time. PIANO The piano class appears to be a small group, but if all of the members played at the same time, the odds are that they could make more noise than the band and orchestra combined. Miss Annabel Denn has charge of this group also, this year being their fourth successive year. PIANO CLASS Standing—T. Campbell, E. Brown, Harrell, A.

FIRST AND SECOND BANDS After years of almost “girl-less’” bands in Madera High, Howard Monger has at last produced a band with female members. [ven the second band, which was organized last year, has young ladies in its ranks. Besides putting on the regular programs scheduled for the band, these “‘youseful” youngsters have played at every football game this year, and have introduced several new school songs to the student body.

CHORUSES The mixed chorus is an organization of long standing in the Madera High School. Miss Annabel Denn is the dauntless director of the tricky tribe, and was responsible for their serious appearance in the Christmas program as well as in the Seniors’ pageant at the gradua- tion exercises. The “baby chorus’, a new addition to our music department, is composed entirely of laughing lassies, under the direction of Miss Mary Lou Shetler. These prima donnas have taken part in several programs this year, including a special demonstration in March for the Girls’ League. BEGINNERS CHORUS Row 1—Hooper, Jane Schmitz, Basye, Ca.

The Coyotes lost only one game during the year, and that contest to an inspired Turlock eleven. The local team scored 106 to 13 points for other schools. lour boys on the squad received honorable mention on the all-valley team. They were: Renso Romeri, who has been selected on the team for three years straight. Victor Olivas, a Junior, his first year on the list; John Stefan, a Junior also his first time mentioned, and Tommy NKocoris, a Sophomore, the smallest player on the Coyote squad, named for the first time. The Coyotes will have eight of their first string men back next year. Several Freshmen coming in from grammar school will help the team out, there are several second string men of last years team and a part of Kinney’s Kubs who will have a chance to make the Varsity. The Madera football squad played seven games during the 1934 season, with Olivas, captain of most of the games. The Merced- Madera game was called off by Madera because of the poliomyelitis outbreak, Romeri having been chosen captain for this game. Madera played the following games: Madera 21 Selma 0 Madera 13 Dos Palos 0 Madera 15 Chowchilla 0 Madera 40 Fresno Yellow Jackets 0 Madera 19 Fresno Tech 0 Madera 0) Turlock 13 Madera 0) Roosevelt 0 VARSITY Row 1—Lanningham, Isakson, R.

In the tri-county track meet which Merced won, with 123 points and Madera second with 91 points, Jim McDougald broke the 440 yard run in 52 seconds flat. The Coyotes “A” class 880 yard relay team ran the distance in 1:36.5, beating the old record by one-half a second. ‘The relay team was composed of Harrison Catching, Robert Crawford, Elmer Austin and Jim McDougald. The high jump record was broken by Luther Johnson who cleared 6 feet 1 7-8 inches in the Fresno high meet and Bill Garner who jumped 6 feet 1 1-8 inches in the Turlock invitational meet, the former record was 5 feet 11 1-2 inches. The Coyotes brought honor to the school when four boys of the track team scored points in the valley track meet held at Hanford, May 18. Three first and a fifth place tie were taken. Those taking first were: Johnson in the “A” class high jump, who jumped 5 feet 11 7-8 inches, Angelo Massetti came within one-eighth of an inch of tying the “C” class valley record, and broke the high school record, with a leap of 5 feet 6 3-8 inches, and Bobby Brown who won the “C” class discus throw, with a toss of 125 feet. Don McDougald tied for fifth in the high jump. Three boys entered the Hollister Invitational Track Meet, May 11. Paul Fierro and Byron ‘Trout placed fourth and seventh, respectively, in the A Division football throw. Raymond Brown, in the B Division, placed second in the football throw, the discus, 120 yard hurdles, and fourth in the shotput. TRACK TEAM Row 1-—Coach Kendall, Johnson, Catching, Moon, J.

Although they lost ae of their six games, they gave their opponents plenty of worry. For the first year of football, an excellent game was played against Merced’s h ighly tutored V arsity second string. ane score was 6 to 0. The Kubs play ed an almost iron man team against Roosevelt’s hightweights, using only twelve men during the entire game. Roosevelt used three teams during the contest, but could do no better than tie Madera 6 to 6. Ross Kinney, who joined the faculty last fall, organized the Kubs, and was the coach. ‘The squad learned quick ly, and ev ery player was full of fight and had plenty of spirit. The Kubs will contribute several of their star players to the Varsity next fall, and if they play anything like they did this year they will be right among the best. “B” class letters were awarded these lads for their excellent work. The Kubs should have a better team this fall. With several ex- perienced men coming back the team will be able to get more practice in. The Kubs hana will have three hard hitting men back next fall: Eddie Simonian, flashy quarterback, Bobby Brown, fast stepping fullback, and Joe Halloran, blocking halfback. Jack Schmitz or Harold Valenzuela will probably be in the other halfback position. The “Kubs” played the following games: Madera 6 Raymond 0 Madera 0 Fresno Hi. 7 Madera 6 Raymond 6 Madera 27 Cental Madera 0 Meced Madera 6 Roosevelt 6 KINNEY’S KUBS Row 1—B. Brown, Cereghino, M.

Page 42 BASEBALE, GAMES Just like all the other sports of Madera high, the baseball team had a late start this year. Old Man Rain put a kink in their practicing. With the returning of only five varsity players, Coach Carlton Wood had his hands full. But with the help of new boys out for the team, the coach discovered he had a group of boys worth looking over. The Coyotes played Roosevelt, the Fresno county champions, and beat them 8 to 7. Showing that they could play baseball, the team went against Kerman and took them down the line to a 6 to 5 score. Ina practice game the Madera squad took the Chowchilla Redskins easily, with an 8 to 2 score. Madera lost her first game to Roosevelt ina return engagement. Roosevelt caught on to John Stefan’s pitching and won the ball game 5 to 0. Playing their first league game the locals beat Dos Palos 5 to 1. Madera lost her first league game to Livingston on errors. The Northern team was looking for the breaks and they got them. Livingston put the game on ice during the ninth inning when the Coyotes let four runs in. The final score was 9 to 3. In the last three league games of the year, the Coyotes swamped the Chowchilla high school 14 to 2. The fourth league game was played against the 1934 valley champion, the Merced Bears. The Bears caught on to Marion Roberts’ and Stefan’s pitching and slammed the ball all over the field. At the end of the nine innings Merced had piled up 13 runs to Madera’s 1. The last league game was a forfeit to Madera trom Los Banos. Coach Willard Farr took over the boys who could not make the varsity, and organized a ball team, which played first and second string baseball teams from other high school teams. The varsity team next year will have an experienced nine back as only three men will be missing from the lineup.

Page 43 A CUASS BASIGE BAW I Although one of the smallest teams in several years, the Madera Varsity basketball squad succeeded in keeping the tri-county pennant at home. Only one leaguc game was lost and that by two points to Merced. The team had a good average in all games, losing only three out of twelve during the season. Losing to Merced, Madera entered the semi-finals of the valley basketball championship, Merced allowing Madera to substitute for that school due to the poliomyelitis epidemic. Madera played Reedley in the semi-finals and was beaten 43 to 29. Skages, high point man on the team, was chosen for an all-valley third string, an honor well deserved. Madera played the following league games: Madera 37 Los Banos 30 Madera 57 Gustine 17 Madera 21 Chowehilla 17 Madera 29 Dos Palos 17 Madera 33 Merced 35 Madera 41 Livingston 24 Oss (CILANSS BVASI Je) PIBVAIL IE, This year’s Coyote middleweight basketball team did exceptionally well considering their stature. The boys lost only two league games during the season and those to strong Merced and Livingston fives. Madera was able to go into the finals for the Valley basketball championship due to the infantile paralysis epidemic which barred Merced. ‘The local boys played Taft in the southern town’s gymnasium. The “B’s” weren’t accustomed to such a large floor and couldn’t seem to hit the basket. They lost the contest 11 to 22. The following are the league games played: Madera 31 Los Banos 13 Gustine Chowehilla Dos Palos Madera 32 Merced 35 Madera 19 Livingston 2 CY .CIASS BASE BANG ID This year’s Madera “‘C” class, ‘‘Pee-wees”’, showed basketball talent when they went through the league, losing only one game, and that to a large and strong Livingston quintet. Coach Willard Farr did a grand job of getting the “C’s” into winning form. The boys were willing to learn, and took their basketball seriously. There was no outstanding star as they all worked as a unit. 3y beating Merced, the lightweights entered the finals for the valley championships which was played at Taft. The boys couldn’t seem to get their eye on the basket, and many shots were missed, the final score being Taft 18, Madera 0.

Merry maidens were seen playing ‘neath the sun on play day on Saturday, April 27, when schools from all over the valley including Le Grand, Raymond, Dos Palos, and Chowchilla assembled on the Ma- dera High campus. Many different sports were played, some of which were baseball, basketball, and volleyball. Play Day, which is an annual one, began with a posture parade. Following this the girls competed in baseball, basketball, hockey. tennis. hit-pin, and volleyball. After luncheon, a program was presented in the auditorium with each high school group represented. Madera girls produced a playlet entitled, “The Knave of Hearts”. Plenty of music as well as noise was made by the orchestra, made from G, A. A. members. This was a special feature of the program on Play Day. The G. A. A. was organized nine years ago and since that time has been an important element in the school life of Madera high girls. Officers during the past year for the G. A. A. were: President, Beth Clark; Vice President, Eleanor Coulthard; Secretary, Hazel Bar- nett; and Song-leader, Helen Hagle. This group was under the direc- tion of Mrs. Lois Chambers. The year ended with picnic which was held at Fresno Crossing on May 25, when a large number of the girls enjoyed swimming, dancing, G. A.

No, there is no war waging, but these were familiar sounds during the tennis season. Because of so much rainy weather this season, Madera high’s tennis team couldn’t get in much practice, although they did play several home matches with Roosevelt, Merced, Chowchilla, and Clovis. Those competing in practice matches were: Boys—Gerald Brooks, Russell Griffeath, Bill Isakson, Robert Maloy, Ray Phillips, and Bill Saunders. Girls—Beth Clark, Edith Graham, Barbara Green, Jean Merritt, Eleanor Shuman, and Geraldine Weathers. Madera entered the Bi-County matches April 13, and failed to win. The annual high school tennis tournament for girls and boys was held the first of May. ‘The players in the tournament were exception- ally strong, and many good tennis battles were played. In the finals of the girls matches, Eleanor Shuman, Senior, beat Beth Clark, Senior, 6-4, 6-4. In the boys finals Billy Isakson, Junior, downed Gerald Brooks, Senior, 6-1, 6-3. Eleanor and Billy will get their names put on the silver cup along side of Wallace Davis and Adeline Carboni, winners of 1934 tournament. This silver cup was given by Coe Swift, an alumnus. The Coyotes should have a better tennis team next year, since the new cement tennis courts will be available even during the rainy season. The squad will lose five players by graduation, but several new students have showed talent in tennis and are improving fast. Ina Mae Moore, a freshman, is outstanding in her class. Prospects for next year are: Boys—Griffeath, Isakson, Phillips. Girls—Edith, Barbara, Patsy Hughes, Jean, Ina Mae, and Geraldine. Those who received letters are: Maloy, Brooks, Saunders, Isakson; Beth, Eleanor, Geraldine, and Barbara. TENNIS TKHAM Row 1—Green, Weathers, Clark, Shuman, and Graham.
