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.

SENIOR CLASS In every class there are a few students who are outstanding in scholarship. 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
