Rose leaves, when the rose is dead, Are heaped for the beloved’s bed; And so thy thoughts, when thou are gone, Love itself shall slumber on. —Percy Bysshe Shelley. Miss McSweeney To the memory of a beloved teacher and loyal friend, Miss Nellie Mc- Sweeney, we the Class of 1937 dedi- cate this Purple and White. The entrance to the old half of our building—where we spent many happy hours studying and playing, where we gathered for fire drills—an entrance to many happy carefree days. Mr. Thompson foreword Without benefit of particular theme, the staff of the 1937 Purple and White have pictorialized, in the following pages, the life, the activity, and the individuals that make up Madera Union High School. The center of this activity has been learning and living; learning. to see, to hear, to think, and above all to work alone. To live one must grow, and growth is the ultimate aim and end of all education. Continuance of the growth and learning after high school graduation will decide whether your tomor- rows will be more happy and successful than your yesterdays. This year’s graduates are the first to have had the privi- lege of an enlarged and more effective physical education de- partment, one which we confidently hope will continue its growth and evolution to its rightful place in a modern sec- ondary educational.system. Healthy individuals and health- ful activities are the ideals toward which we strive. May the portrayal of these activities in the 1937 Purple and White serve to recall happy and interesting days in Ma- dera Union High School. L. C.

On Tuesday, January 19, a so-called Class Day (labelled Sneak Day, we believe, by those in power) took sixty members of the class to the high Sierras, leaving an exasperated and highly indignant minority in the lurch. The merry-makers returned to face an irate faculty, deter- mined to take their medicine without a grimace. Seniors debated al! year whether or not to buy class emblems. It was finally decided in the negative, as so many expenditures were facing them that they preferred not to be financially embarrassed at the end of the year. Result, no class emblems for ‘37. Further differentiability of this one hundred and one group showed again in their choice of three one-act plays for their final dramatic offering on Friday evening, May 14 in the school auditorium. Of course, three one-act plays offered greater opportunity for the dramatists of the class, so that, no doubt, was the reason for scorning the usual three-act comedy. The three plays included: “A Message from Khufu,’’ ‘““The Unseen,’’ and ‘The Bishop’s Candelsticks.’” There presentation demanded a production and business staff of thirty-eight Seniors and four faculty advisers besides Miss Mary Lou Shetler, who directed them. Freak Day, with Seniors disguised as barrels, movie stars, tomboys (and girls) and many other well known personalities, proved quite an historical event. It was topped off by a hu- morous assembly just so that none of the freaks would be missed. On Sunday evening, May 30, the usual Baccalaureate service combined with Memorial Day was observed. During the quiet and lovely service most of the Seniors didn’t know whether to be happy and gay, or cry. The Reverend H. F. Truscott was the speaker. Best bibs and tuckers (new suits and formals to you) were the vogue on that memorable evening of June 2 when the Juniors honored the high and mighty ones at the annual Junior- Senior prom. One hundred and one-fourth year students solemnly wended their way to the speakers’ platform in the new gymnasium on Thursday evening, June 3, and just as solemnly received the longed-for diplomas. Milton Gould presided as chairman and for the first time in Madera’s history, the main speakers at commencement were students. Those honored by their class- mates were: Leonard Logoluso, David Whiteside, Clara Mae Allen and Velda Letoile. The nine Seniors who found small circlets of gold bearing the C. S. F. seal on their diplomas were: Roy Archibald, Verl House, Morgan Sheldon, Chew Woo, Clara Mae Allen, Juliette Biscay, Patty McKinnon, Hisako Niino, posing? ; sigs oe and Grace Nikaido. The final day, Friday, June 4, gave the Seniors their last opportunity to Jack Bick and impress the student body with their ability and dif- ee Aubrey Baker 3 5 Tago ei ferentiability at the final assembly. The differenti- ability was most noticeable in the class will and pro- phecy which was read at that time. Coming right up in the world is just a short phrase that can best describe the Juniors. It won't be long now. If they can only hold out until September, they'll be acquiring all the publicity, notoriety, blame n’ everything the Seniors have had cornered. Just be- cause they are not Seniors doesn’t mean they have i q ql freshman class president been idle. In fact they have already acquired a little of that promised notoriety. The first outstanding achievement was the Junior play, ‘“Remember the Day’’ when audience and cast were transported via the stage to the school days of their early youth. That was the Friday night of January 15 and everyone still is remembering the day. There was something else for which the Juniors Lloyd Taylor y received publicity. That was for their indecision con- Bophiomore iclassipresident first semester cerning the presentation of their class sponsored as- sembly program. After much debating, and we know not what else, the class of ‘38 gave up the idea of an original minstrel show and demonstrated dra- matically ‘““Why Teachers Go Nuts.” The faculty might have been able to SHI ene: sophomore class preside have given the reasons, but the Juniors did an amusing bit of work second semester It was a nice idea inaugurated last year—that of bringing forth hidden talent in assembly programs sponsored by the respective classes. The precedent was continued and the Freshmen led off with a musical variety show exhibiting some budding young artists of the terpischorean art to Say nothing of instrumentalists and vocalists. Remembrances of Bruna Forasseppi tapping her shoes away and Evelyn Pistoresi pushing and pulling on that accordian lingered throughout the year. Others who offered their services for the pleasure of upper class- men included Billy Roach, Pat Dowhan, Leland Edman, and the members of the Frosh haywire orchestra. When the Sophomores took the Stage it was to present a one-act play, “At the Stroke of Twelve.’” Doris Carpenter was in the stellar role with Wendell Smith, Jacqueline Bobbitt, Lucille Rowe, and Jacqueline Fleming. Class social activities rose to a new high beginning with the Frosh reception sponsored by the Sophomore elite. Later in the second semester the Babes took matters into their own hands and staged a party (dancing included, please) on Friday evening, April 9, in the cafe- teria. Social life for the Sophs did not end with the reception tendered the class of ‘40 as the Pe ee second year lads and lassies entertained themselves during the latter part of studying? the first semester. Scavenger hunting stirred the imagination of the sophis- ticated third year personalities and they organized one following the Junior play. Dancing and refreshments gave then that satisfied feeling on returning to the cafeteria after the search for what-nots. Rae Marie Adams freshman class secretary It takes a little guidance to weather the seas in a hurry? oe” of action and the captains for the four classes first and second semesters, respectively, were: Seniors, Roy Archibald and Ver! House; Juniors, Aubrey Baker and Jack Bick; Sophomores, Floyd ‘’Min- nie’ Taylor and Bill Baker. The Babes of '40 clung to Keith Pinion’s hand throughout the year, re- electing him to the class presidency for the spring term. pw 4—J. Baldrica C. Denny, M.

The inevitable Junior Play, ‘Remember the Day,’’ gave twenty-five aspiring performers an opportunity to add laurels to the Junior Class honors with Darwin Shebelut and Barbara Crawford doing very well for themselves in the leads.The setting for this play took place when our parents were at the height of their highschool days. The spirit of Christmas coupled with unsurpassed dramatic desires produced the Christ- 1 mas play, “Mr. Scrooge,’’ and the pageant of the Nativity. Atmosphere and sacred music en- hanced the evening’s presentations and these were provided by two new and very active school organizations, Treble Clef and Toreadors, directed by Emil Q. Miland, music instructor. Mentioning music reminds us that that department under Miss Annabel Denn, offered am- ple opportunity for the musically inclined in the orchestra, string ensemble, and piano classes. Mr. Miland also directed the two bands and the A Cappella Choir. This newly organized group is an extra-curricular activity for those who enjoy and care to participate in the vocal presen- tation of classical and sacred music. Three of Madera’s singers and instrumentalists, Morgan Sheldon, Darwin Shebelut, and Miriam Munter, were honored by being chosen to attend the California-W estern Schools Music Conference held in San Francisco from March 21 to 24. Shebelut played his violin in the orchestra and Sheldon and Miriam sang in the chorus. Further dramatic productions included: Pan-American pageant; the Senior presentation of three one-act plays; and a one-act comedy. ’’The Pot-Boiler,”” given by the Thespians, honorary Junior-Senior dramatic organization with Miss Mary Lou Shetler lending her sage advice. This play was a typical interpretation of why directors turn gray. Politics, debating, and Madera students do mix well, if this year’s results are indications of such interest and ability. An innovation in student government lifted its head in the form of an Executive Board during the second semester. This group was selected to conduct important school government problems under the check and balance of the Student Council and the stu- dent body president. As for the success of the debaters, their glory is summed up in the fact that they placed in the Valley semi-finals and will receive their pins for their oratorical endeavors. These debaters’ success was due not only to their hard work and efforts, but also to their coach, Raymond Ken- dall, English instructor. Not all of the one hundred and thirty-four members of the Scholarship Society are public speakers, actors, actresses or future statesmen, but all have a common interest—devotion to books. The group held two initiatory services during the year and sponsored a party on Friday evening, March 19, in the cafeteria. These ‘wonder -kiddies’’ then sponsored a rollicking barn dance on the evening of Friday, May 7. Along with the thought of books and scholars comes a picture of the improved library un- der the direction of Madera’s first full-time librarian, Miss Louise Hill. To provide amusement, information, and an excuse to get out of study hall, two hundred and thirty-seven new books were purchased during the year. Clever advertising to catch the wandering eyes of weary stu- dents was displayed on the bulletin board with two of the librarians in charge of each week’s attraction. The call of books is strong for some individuals, but the call back to the soil is strongest in the Future Farmers of America. Madera‘’s chapter came through the year bringing beef, bacon, honor, and glory home from pruning and judging contests and livestock shows. The red letter day of the devotees of the soil was Thursday, March 18, when the first livestock show to be sponsored by Madera high was held. The agricultural department came forth and walked off with so many honors that other groups are thinking of going native. Prize money taken in totaled $46.00. Following the display of their stock in Western Fat Livestock Show in San Francisco, March 19 to 26, the animals when sold brought in approximately one thousand dollars for their owners. From one outdoor activity to another—and the Girls’ Athletic Association is at hand. Due to the fact that rain and outdoor sports do not mix, the girls didn’t get together until the last part of the year. Jeanne Edgerly and Betty Merritt, queens of sports, ably captained the group as president and vice-president respectively. Games were played and points were earned how- ever, in spite of the bad weather and other obstacles. To top off the season, the girls sponsored Play Day on Saturday, April 10 and held a wet and breath-taking Water Carnival in the merry month of May. “Going, going, gone; sold to the girl in the green dress for exactly—’’and your prize white elephant was gone with the wind to the highest bidder at the Girls’ League auction sale and tea, held during Patty McKinnon’‘s reign as Girls’ League president, first semester. Then, ‘twas during Dolores Brammer’s rule, second semester, that spring was greeted by the girls on their annual blossom day. Bright bouquets added a gay spring note to the classrooms, and splatches of color hither and yon were seen on the girls’ light dresses. It took both councils, however to sponsor the main event of the Girls’ League, the Valentine carnival dance, held on February 12. The dance was quite a success, with the aid of a sidewalk cafe, recreation basement, and big red hearts and cupids on every side. Lady Luck seemed to nap during Tommy Kocoris’ reign as Boys’ Federation president, first semester. James Lesan, president second semester, woke her up though and started his meetings out with a bang. The Federation sponsored a basketball game with the Broadway Clowns under Lesan, and earned quite a few pennies for the Federation, which had almost for- gotten what a bank balance meant.

This date proved to be one of the greatest days for Madera high in twelve years. MADERA BEAT MERCED. This put us in line for the play-off of the Valley finals but as a much heavier team was encountered, Coach Ross E. Kinney withdrew from the fracas because of lack of reserves. Two months work for one crack at Merced. That’s what these boys fought for, and won. For twelve years all this seemed in vain. Boys had gone into the game a team inspired, enthusiastic, hopeful, only to be Crappa, Outstanding turned back once again. Against Merced In 1934 Coach Kinney started coaching here with the lightweights. He held this position for two years and then was transferred to head football coach. Out of three games played with Merced his teams have won two games and lost one. Throughout the season Madera lost three games, tied one and won six. The games lost were to Dos Palos, Selma, and Modesto. Those won were Merced, Ripon, Kerman, St. Marys of Stockton, Livingston and Raymond. The one tied was Roosevelt of Fresno. Just before the Merced game Madera changed its running attack to passing.. When the Coyotes arrived on the scene, the field was plowed up so that about six inches of loose dirt was underfoot. The game started in Madera’s territory and remained there throughout the first quarter. An intercepted pass put Madera on Merced’s forty yard line. Then a pass to the seventeen yard marker put them over the goal later in the same period. Madera gained, intercepted a pass, and carried the ball over for another score. In the third quarter a series of single reverses, fake spinners and line bucks gave the Coyotes another counter on the score board. Now the score was 19-0. Merced scored in the last few minutes of this period and again in the last quarter. The final score, 19-13. The team had many benefactors. The 20-30 Club awarded gold footballs, the Rotary Club a dozen purple blankets, the business men a banquet and a trip to the Rose Bowl. Mr. E. E. Nelson gave a tro- phy to the most valuable player. Many of the alumni donated their time to help the coach and the team. b football Three Musketeers Coach Rinaldo Wren began his first coaching season here with a squad of green lightweights. Contributing most of this time to fundamentals, he produced a team, using a single wing formation, that will prove to be invaluable to the Varsity next season. Manager Martin Playing seven games throughout the season, these gallant lads of the gridiron fought through the last game with three wins, one tie, and three losses. Incidentally, six of the seven teams played were varsity teams from the smaller schools of the Valley. Coach Kinney of the Varsity is expecting some of the larger lads to take more seasoning by going out for Varsity football next year. track Starting the season with the loss of a closely contested track meet to Roosevelt, Madera’s cinder men didn’t look as though they would get anywhere. Nevertheless, with hard training and practice under the watch- ful eye of Coaches R. F. Kendall and Rinaldo Wren, Madera turned out an A Class track squad that was nothing less than stellar. They did better in the next meet when they ran second to Fresno High in a four way conclave. Deciding that Madera hadn‘t made a name in track for quite some time, they proceeded to win their next three meets, which included the Bi-County and Tri-County. Several men entered the Valley Meet and the West Coast Relays, making fair showings in both. The B class had a successful season but didn’t win as many meets as the A squad. The C’s developed several outstanding men who will be the backbone of next year’s B team. basketball Among the trophies of our school, a beautiful basketball award. took its place this year. This cup, known as the Holliday Trophy, named after the doner, is to have engraved upon it each season the name of the most valuable player. Angelo Massetti had the honor of heading the list of names that will eventually adorn it. Although slow at the beginning, our hoopsters gradually gained timing, smoothness, and power, until they finally literally walked through teams which had beaten them at the beginning of the season. This was shown when, in the first league game of the year, our Coyotes bowed to Merced. Later Madera trounced the Bears, but because the Merced sauied had won the League contest, the Coyotes were not participants in the Valley play- offs. Fate wag also against the B squad, for although they looked good at the start of the season, they were also defeated by Merced. They lost their real chance for the league championship when they were defeated by Livingston. The C squad was shut out of the Tri-County pennant race when Livingston nosed them out out in the last minute rally. B Star Griggs baseball With only three regulars back from last years’ strong Varsity, it was necessary for Coach Carlton Wood to develop an entire new infield. Although this now infield was responsible for most of the losses, they will all be back next year and there should be a good | steady fielding team to start the season. Findley Upton, catcher; Rudy Beban, left field: and Ed. Wilkinson, center field; were the only ones left from last year’s Varsity, consequently a winning team could not be turned out this season, but with only three graduating from the squad, Rudy Beban, Halliday Buckley, and Phil Crappa, hopes are for next years’ baseball. tennis Vigorous swattings were seen and heard emit- ting from the tennis courts as the tennis team swung into action. With only one experienced player left from last year Madera developed a team to be proud of. In the Tri-County finals Madera won the girls’ singles and in the boys’ dou- bles game Madera gave Merced a fight for their title. The racket weilders were coached by Willard Farr, this being his first year of tennis coaching. Upton, Catcher Sunia, 880-Mile swimming With a troop of champion veterans back paddling around the pool Madera has a good chance to win the Valley Championship again. The Co- yote Neptunes already hold the valley championship in the 220 yards, four man relay, 50 yards, and 100 yards free style. The Fresno County meet was May 22, and the San Joaquin meet, May 29. This issue of the annual had to go to press before any final results were obtained. varsity football Coach Kinney Jim and Bill Coyotes Eat Bear Meat VARSITY FOOTBALL SCORES Roosevelt Madera Selma VARSITY FOOTBALL Row 3—Cereghino, Manager; Archibald, Hilton, Manager; Boitana, Manager.

Seven schools were represented by fems from Ker- man, Chowchilla, Raymond, Mariposa, Central Union, Dos Palos and Le Grand. The Madera Girl Scouts gave information to the girls and acted as guiding stars for the visitors. Each fem was given a colored rib- bon with a number on it; this told her where she was to go and what to do. During the morning a posture parade was held and participated in by all the girls. After this various games were played. The folk dancing was enjoyed by both referees and fems. The refe- rees were physical education majors from Fresno State College. At noon, a luncheon was served to the teachers and referees by the cook- ing class under the direction of Miss Roberta Willis. If the girls didn’t bring a basket lunch they were able to buy hot dogs and soda pop from the Aowakiya Campfire Girls’ under the direction of Miss Louise Hill. In the afternoon, all the girls gath- ered for an assembly and each school, with the exception of Central Union, gave either vaudeville acts or a panto- mime. The Madera girls gave a panto- mime called, ‘“And the Lamp Went Out.” The Girls Athletic Association orchestra furnished the music. Later all the fems sang under the leadership of none other than that famous per- son, Ida Bush. HOCKEY girls’ sports FOLK DANCING [toon Play Day has been an annual event since 1926. Six play : days have been held in Madera. Mrs. Lois Chambers and Miss Grace Fuller made arrangements for this tenth annual play day. On December 9, 1936, a Parents’ Night was held in the rs. Lois CHAMBERS AND MISS GRACE FULLER | new gymnasium. All sports that were played throughout the year were demonstrated and the gym was filled to capacity. During the semester the folk dancing class gave several programs under the direction of Miss Fuller. The girls swimming lessons started after this annual had gone to press. But it was ex- pected the mermaids made plenty of splash about the pool. “’Pop’’ Peterson was again our able instructor and there were the same arrangements as last summer. The first swim- ming lessons were to begin on Monday, May 3. Then on Tuesday, May 18, a gigantic Water Sports Carnival was held in the Madera Pool. All the schools that were here Play Day were invited to the splash. This was not an interscholastic meet so there was no competition and each mermaid had a grand time. This year for the first time Mrs. Chambers has had fourth period for a mededial class. This class is for girls who have had operations during the semester and girls who are underweight and need rest. If the girl has a family physician he is consulted on how many hours of rest that particular patient needs and also how much exercise. The girls play croquet, ping-pong, and games that are not too tiring.
