' Don Coyote, mascot of Madera High endeavors for the past year, has just been forced out of hibernation. By your opening of this Purple and White, you have brought him to life. Now you may watch him run through the pages and activities presented herein. Boldly he glides across the division pages, then hides himself indiscreetly among the pages to enjoy the memories of the past year. As you thumb through these pages and look at Mr. Donald C., our theme man, you will realize that little Don is just our way of saying 6'School Spiritf, Graduating members of the Class of 1940, seeking a writ- ten remembrance of a very personal friend and counse- lor, had Principal L. C. Thompson write a few words of introduction to this stu- AC' Forewo four dent yearbook publication. Educational short-cuts are out today. While the venders of groceries, drugs, hard- ware, and novelties compete with one an- other for the most alluring cut-rate neon banner advertising specials of all hues, those of us who are engaged in fostering a mere time-honored education have no such recourse. Solid geometry in six easy les- sons might be an attractive slogan to the college preparatory student, but those of us who have taken the subject know that there are no such sort cuts to the mastery of it. Enthusiastic leaders have bent over backwards to surround students with the best comforts, equipment, and environment, but an abundance of these will never guar- antee success to any student. Individual ef- fort is still the price of individual progress. In acknowledgement of foui years of self-sacrifice in her unselfish interest of help 1940 advance through study in secondary education, the the seniors dedicate this pub lication to Mrs. Bonita Maloy. ' ing the graduating class of Looking back over four years of effort, any group of students always have some one main underlying influence that can be plainly marked as having moulded the lives and actions of the organization as a whole, and of each separate individual. In the case of the Senior Class of 1940, this influence was most easily recognized and their sin- cere appreciation of many things-patience, willingness to take time to listen to prob- lems and advise wisely and kindly, unerring guidance in our pursuit of knowledge, we will always remember you. For these traits, and for the lovable nature and unend- ing smiles which reign them, we, the Sen- ior Class of 1940, wish to dedicate this last chronicle of our high school activities, the Purple and White, to you, Bonita Maloy.

During the first semester the Seniors entrusted their leader- ship to these people: left to right, Richard Ford, president, Gloria Barsotti, secretary, Rae Adams, vice-presidentg Russell Van Vleet, treasurer. Advisor of 154 Sen- iors uring t e pas d h t year's activities was Mr. Art Sarna. A Glimpse lnto Senior Activities Don Coyote sadly waved farewall to one hundred fifty-three Seniors when they graduated June 5, Leap Year, 1940, from Madera High School. Don willed all the luck in the world to the young hopefuls as they stepped up to receive the fruit of four years of study in high school. Dr. Alan Thompson, Professor of Public Speaking at the University of California, spoke on 4'Machines and Men on the evening of the graduation of the largest senior class in the history of the school. Customs of Leap Year did not affect the prospective grads, for instead of the girls concentrating on catching a spouse and the boys trying to stay clear of holy wedlock, the fourth-yearers charmed their grey matters into working and fif- teen seniors received gold seals on their diplomas on graduation night. Baccalaureate speaker Rev. Sydney Cooper, on the night of June 2nd brought back to each listener the memories of forgotten events during four swift years. Three times the date for Sneak Day was set, but, because the Juniors were Seniors found Sneak Day activities a business of trying to stand up on skiis, and a matter of trying to find a com- fortable way to sit down after the skiis were removed. SH prepared to do trailing duty, the date was moved ahead. Finally the call of the snow grew too strong for the high 'ni mighty, and on March 5th they ditched school and journeyed to Badger Pass. Class rulers for the first semester were: president, Richard Ford, vice- president, Rae Marie Adams, secretary, Gloria Barsottig and treasurer, Russell VanVleet. Second semester officers were: president, Pete Labordeg vice- president, Jack Washburn, secretary, Catherine Laborde, and treasurer, Joe Boyle. A huge bassinette, made of pink and blue crepe paper, covered dancers' heads January 12th, the night of the Carnival in the high school gym.

January 5th was the date for the Sen- ior afternoon party, When dancing and entertainment were enjoyed by those present to raise money for the class. Sen- ior members of the football team organ- ized the Russian Ballet and gave an imitation of a chorus girl's nightmare. The Locked Door, a three-act com- edy-mystery production, Was presented by the Senior play cast on the evening of May 3rd. Theresa Poletti, Keith Pin- ion, and Jack Washburn acted the lead- ing roles, and Miss Pauline Stevens di- rected. To Mrs. Bonita Maloy, history instruc- tor, the yearbook was dedicated by the Seniors by popular vote. Mrs. Maloy has been a member of Madera High faculty for fifteen years. r if , X 'ra Freak Day, held on May 14th, gave the Hbrainyn a chance to bring forth hidden talents for freakish dressing. In the costume contest, Gloria Barsotti and Rex Merino Won first place and Were awarded free Purple and Whites. A Senior announcements displayed the school ring crest and a coyote head. The attractive cards gave out the news-in between the lines-that another group of versatile young people were ready to take their place in the World. Seniors of '40, reviving the tradition of presenting their alma mater with a gift, gave the school a flag pole for the proposed Science Building. May 17th Was the date of the Senior Reception, which was attended by them and their parents. Miss Mary Jardine, English instructor, Was in charge. The Junior girls served. Mr. Arthur Sarna, journalism instruc- tor, was elected by the class of '40 to guide them through their last nine months in Madera High. Mr. Ray Ken- dall advised the Seniors during their first three years of high school. Spring has a reputation of doing funny things to people, but these are the first visible signs that have appeared at Madera High. They are Bill McNally, Gloria Barsotti and Rex Merino. eleven twelve limits. R112 BLUIII-I Commissioner of Girls' Activities Thespian Purple and White Press Club Aniissrxl. Xiuiii K Tennis Team 1 G.

The Freshman candidate for the Carnival queen was Mabel Gamble. Freshmen were battered by the end of the day when the Sophomores initi- ated them to different types of torture. They were not to be let off so easily, though, for it was their duty to enter- tain the student body at an assembly. lncidentally, the assembly was a huge success. However, the Sophomores repaid the Freshmen at a reception to prove that there were no hard feelings.

Activities for the fall semester were governed by: Assemblies, Keith Pinion, Girls' Activities, Gloria Barsottig Social Welfare, Bill Cerioni, Publications and Publicity, Pat Laningham, Awards, Kathleen Bear, Boys' Activities, Chester Schmidt, Clerk, Maxine Cobb, Finance, Charles Fleming. The term found the second year of the newly adopted Commissioner form of government operating on a very smooth-running basis. With eight execu- tives replacing and enlarging upon the duties of two student body officers, the move fostered both democratic tradition and efficiency. He helped decorate the school for col- or week and assisted in the origination of the Merced Rally and Parade. He was right on hand when a cup was given by the Commissioners to the winning float, entered by the Scholarship students. An award for the most appropriate float was given to the Press Club for thirty-two their ambulance and coffin float. The bonfire rally on the night before the annual Madera-Merced grid clash inspired a keen pre-game spirit and brought Mr. Ross Kinney, the football coach, to the speakers, stand for a word wwf serif? of prediction on the game-of-games. On the night of the Big Game Rally, a feed was given to the football team by the Commissioners. Decorations in a red and green motif transformed the school into a gay holi- day setting during the days preceding Christmas vacation. With gaily decorat- ed trees posted in the halls and holly wreaths hung about the walls in the rooms, the Commissioners felt a new satisfaction. They sponsored several noon and after game dances, and, in order to make the dances more successful, they purchased new records for the phonograph. Don Coyote relaxed with the Commis- sioners when they went on their annual picnic to Roeding Park in Fresno. Base- ball was enjoyed until the high-sign was given that food was ready to be served, '39 and then there was a mad rush for tables. Constitutions and lists of members of all the clubs were turned into the group, who then made a list of clubs to which each student belongs. The Commission- ers set up a permanent file of statistics on club members and found that only one-third of the school's populace was distributed in club membership. At the annual Purple and White Car- nival, the Commissioners sponsored a fish pond. The by-laws were amended, giving the Commissioners the right to appoint as many yell assistants as they deem nec- essary. Don Coyote this year, with the help of the student body, elected a Jun- Eight student executives ruling a busy term of second semester activities include: Assemblies, Keith Pinion, Girls' Activities, Rae Adams, Social Welfare, Bill Cerionig Publication and Public- ity, Pat Laninghamg Clerk, Bet- . tylee Piniong Boys' Activities, Craig Smithg Awards, Dean Curry, Finance, Charles Flem- ing.

Coyote found a different accent on the meaning of study When he visited the Purple and White Class during their rush season. He savv some students grouped around a paper cutter, some Writing about his activities, and others discussing the authen- ticity of a report on a school event. ln reviewing Purple and White activities, he found that they had sponsored the annual Purple and White Carnival, an event set aside each year to build up the yearbook fund. He remembered when they had presented the Purple and White assembly in a setting typical of a J ack Benny program. He remembered the financial problem which arose in the course Responsible for this edition of the Purple and White are: Miss Carolyn Beckham, ed- visorg Richard Ford, thirty-four editorg and the section editors. of adding eight extra pages to the annual and also realized that the annual would undergo a physical change, by the use of the engrav- ing process. Don thought of the days When classes Were in a state of insecurity of peace due to the con- stant ringing of bells notifying that a certain picture was to be taken. He remembered, too, that Miss Carolyn Beckham Was advisor. Don hitched a ride with the students who Went to Berkeley for a four-day Press Con- vention. He also Went along when the group traveled to Fresno State College to attend the annual spring press meet. Little Don was greatly honored and pleased when the Purple and White received their A class rating at the Fresno competition. Maderan Placing among the top rank in two national and one San Joaquin Valley contests this year, the Maderan has added a diploma, a silver medal, and a certificate to its collection of awards. All-American, the highest rating given by the National Scholastic Press Association, has been received by the Maderan. Entries in the contest came from 48 states, Alaska, Hawaii, and the District of Columbia, with a total of 1588 high school and junior college papers being entered. Out of a possible 1000 points, the Maderan received 775, rating highest in news writing, Showered by high na- tional recognition, the Maderan was publish- ed by Mr. Art Sarna, advisorg Richard Ford, first semester editorg Gertrude Lynch, sec- ond semester editor, and Rex Merino, art editor. coverage and sports. The highest scoring previously received by the Maderan was second place. Don Coyote was really proud of the Maderan when they put out a special edition for the Merced game. This edition was called the Goal Postw and it included pictures of all the players on both teams. The remarks and lineups of the teams were also in this special edition. Donna Coyote, the female of the species, joined with the rest of the women on the Maderan staff to put out a special edition on Blossom Day. This year the Maderan has featured more pictures of school life. Mr. Arthur Sarna, advisor, guided the Maderan through its most successful year. Richard Ford and Gertrude Lynch were editors, first and second semesters, respectively. Table l-Richard Ford, Mary Moses, Raoul DeVere, Bruce Gottfredson, Vernie Roberts, Paul Simonian. Joe Boyle.

However, other local speakers completed the season with an abundance of wins. Madera High's outstanding success was brought about by Jack Washburn as he walked away with the championship of the Cen- tral California Forensic League Tournament held at Madera on May 10. ln extemporaneous speaking, Keith Pinion won his di- Master of forensic in- struction at Madera High for years is Mr. Ray Kendall. vision in Fresno County.

Keith Pinion and Duane Hartwell, composing one-half of an unlimited team, won all their debates at both Ripon and Fresno State. League debaters were: Barbara Clark, Hartwell, Pinion and Ware.

Fines and Finances Room 1 seems to be the favorite room of Don Coyote after school-couldn't be because of those little pink detention slips, could it? Oh well, when someone's as nice and sweet as Mrs. Hughes, it isn't so bad to take it, at least Don doesn't think so. Detention isn't the only duty the office has. Theresa Pistoresi, secretary, takes care of all letters and is the head of the office girls. Tests are typed and dittoed by members of the office staff. Second period announcements are sent around, absence slips are gathered, detention slips are given out, and personal letters, notes, and packages are delivered to the teachers. Don enjoyed himself in the treasurer's office, counting out the silver. All organization money is turned over to the treasurer, Mr. Bernard Wood, and all bills are paid through him. Jane Barr, the treasurer's right hand gal, cuts sten- cils, makes programs and balances the cafeteria money. Girls from the treasurer's office collect all money for food bought at the cafeteria. The book store is man- aged by members of the treasurer's office. Here you can buy any school need. Between paying out bills and handling commercial work for the school, the Treasurer's office staff always finds plenty of ac- tion ahead. The staff includes Bernard Woods, Mary Gokey, Jane Barr, Helen Pistoresi, Joyce Richardson, Gene Stefan- elli, Ruth Clark. thirty-seven Production difficulties of The Locked Room were handled by the above Sen- iors.

Double Exposure Grabbing his two tickets for seats in the middle of the tenth row and settling his opry hat at a precarious angle, Don Coyote made ready to spend an enjoy- able evening at the Junior play, titled Double Exposure. Finding a new high in light comedy productions, the play presented a new angle of comical insanity with its f'Up- lift Walk. The plot found a small New England inn tangled in complications upon the expected arrival of an English lord. Leads were portrayed by Kenneth Foster, in the role of a poor youth who spent all his extra time in company with Romantic leads in 'Double Ex- posure are Kenneth Foster and Marion Tipton.

Late Christopher Bean Taking his pallet in his hand and then making sure he was well equipped with brushes and paints, Mr. Donald Rem- brandt Coyote rode off to the faculty play, The Late Christopher Bean. The plot of the play circled around the pictures that were painted by the late Christopher Bean. After his death peo- ple realized he was a great artist and a mad scramble for the pictures set com- plications in the plot as to whom the pic- tures really belonged. With a shyster collector posing as a friend of the deceased, and a tightwad investor trying to obtain the paintings at a cheap figure, the Haggett family, supposed owners of the valued works of art, and a New York art critic find their forty Teachers turned produceis in ox der to supply a busi- ness staff for the Faculty Play.

The play Won second hon- ors in its division. Keith Pinion, as Dr. Cheer, was one of these persons that comes on the radio in the morning and cheers you up with a thought for the day, and several problems arise, such as: My husband left me because I burned the toast. How can I get him back? He settles the question, but in doing it everyday, he finds himself becoming gloomier and gloomier. He hires a secretary who is sadder than Zasu Pitts, and fires her because she is so unhappy. Then one of these for- ever cheerful people comes along and Dr. Cheer realizes his mistakes and hires the first secretary. Don managed not to ring the bell in the Wrong place, but he Was so intrigued by Kathryn Slater's voice as she as- sumed the personality of one habitually unhappy, that he needed the aid of Mancel Justice.

Sweepstakes honors for the second consecutive year were captured by the French Club. The French Cafe was decorated in a pink elephant motif and featured a 15-minute floor show. ' , Carnival Don Coyote always did like carnivals. Possibly this ex- plains his interest in the Purple and White Carnival held on January 12. Decorated in a toyland motif, Don was captivated by the gym's transformation. Lucille Murphy was crowned queen and Arline Drake, Louise Hall and Mabel Gamble reigned as attendants. The French Cafe with the French pastries managed to occupy a lot of Don's time, especially during the floor show. An Apache dance had Don worried until he saw the same people do it a second time. The carnival is held each year for the benefit of the Purple and White, and since Don was assistant editor this year, he worked very hard to make it the success that it was. The Thespian Little Theater attracted Don, so he decided to take Donna, who had been begging to attend all evening. Of course, the Senior concession, the dance, was well attended by Don, who danced once with the queen and several other times with the different belles of the school. ' Lucille Murphy, pretty Junior candidate, reigned over a night of fun and frolic at the Carnival.

At the Senior reception, Don visited the vio- lin section and listened contentedly to the music played. Don and Miss Annabel Denn, director of the orchestra, sent several persons to perform for ratings at the Central Cali- fornia Music Festival in Corcoran.

Pat Douhan and Don Coyote were voted outstanding in the band, but Don found he took such poor pictures that he asked to have his picture left out. At the annual concert given by the Band, Don helped Mr. Loren Douglas by sitting in the audience instead of playing his slide trombone, because he always seems to be about a measure ahead. During the last half of the program, Don slipped into the bass viol because he felt left out when he Wasn't on the stage. He found it slightly dusty inside, but Don knew they had been practicing so hard for the concert there was no time to Worry about dusting.

Girls' League Joining Girls' League was absolutely forbidden Dong so he learned about their activities from his little girl friend, Don- na Coyote. Don was certainly interested in know- ing all about who-wore-whatn at the style show put on by Penney's. Donna paid very strict attention to all programs and remembered every little detail of the bi-monthly meetings. Some of the programs presented were: Thespian skits, a faculty program fea- To help carry on a suc- cessful year, Joyce Rich- ardson and Meredith Roberts acted as president of Girls' League first and second semesters, respec- tively. fifty turing two of our prominent women teachers, Miss Elizabeth Stoddard, and Mrs. Florence Williams, and a talk on women by four Senior boys. Blossom Day, an annual spring event set aside in the interest of feminine fashions, climaxed an eventful year of Girls' League activities. With many girls as models, and local stores sup- plying the wearing apparel, styles for all occasions were displayed. Style contest winners included: Mar- ion Tipton, Grace Logoluso, Josephine Lazzari and Doris Williams. Other activities were the Christmas program, installation of new officers, health speaker, exchange program with Clovis, a dance, and the Senior girls' dedicatory program. Miss Mary Jardine again proved to be a very suc- cessful advisor of the Girls' League. Mr. H. A. Vollborn led the Boys' Federation dur- ing an active year. 2i 1 Boys' Federation Don Coyote unofficially took the oath of president beside John Hughes and Bud Edwards and accepted the gavel of leadership and responsibility for the four hundred odd members comprising the masculine portion of the student body. This trio did a very successful job of carrying on the duties of their offices. Bi-weekly programs of a varied nature were enjoyed. The boys sponsored a basketball game between the 1940 varsity quintet and faculty members. As a preliminary game, the Seniors met the Juniors and were dumped on the short end of a close score. The varsity scored a win over the Faculty in the second overtime period. First semester presidency was held by John Hughes while Bud Edwards acted as second semester presi- dent. Mr. H. A. Vollborn, dean of boys, held the advisory position. Don says that the new constitution made a big improvement after it had been adopted. Among some of the programs pre- sented to the group were motion pic- tures of Boys, State, a model of state government fashioned after the states in the union, demonstrations of meat selection and cutting, and a talk on the life that exists in the eastern portion of Siberia.

Thespians Little Don believes that the all forms of dra- matic entertainment for use-free attitude of the Thespians has struck a new democratic high at Madera High. Founded in the interests of dramatically inclined students, the organization under the supervision of Miss Pauline Stevens, has prepared five short skits, a one-act play, and a radio skit. The Thespians, finding that they had an eXcess of leisure, in spite of their activity, proceeded to use it in the interest of the promotion of the Purple and White Carnival, taking full charge of the concessions, booths, and the Little Theatre. The Fresno State Spring Swing was one of the most important activities attended by Thespians. Skits were presented before the student body in assembly, in Girls' League, in Boys, Federation, and at various service clubs in Madera. Jack Washburn and Jacob Deriner were first and second semester presidents, respectively. Thespian membership operates solely on an in- vitational basis, with selections eligible from stu- dents participating in local dramatic productions. In order to insure an active membership, fifteen members is the maximum allowed. fifty-four The picture at the left shows a group of people who were prominent in leading the Spanish groups around school. They climaxed a year of activities with the Spanish Fiesta held in the gym. Pan- American tudent Forum Don Coyote found himself right in his element when he joined the Pan-Amer- ican Student Forum. The Spanish speaking students had a very eevntful year. Little Don, lending his utmost mental capacities to the causes of the active forum members, scored his crowning achievement at the first annual Spanish Fiesta. The Fiesta, popularly acclaimed as the most colorful dance of the year, met with universal approval through its nov- el decorations. The dance floor, supposedly a Mexi- can patio, was bordered by an adobe wall and flowers. On the dance floor was a rock garden which was set off by the adobe bricks.

Don Coyote got out his projector to- gether with his six other boys and learned to operate the machine. These boys have helped the school by spinning the reels for the other classes in their free periods. Featuring a variety of interesting and educational shorts, the Projectors, Club, in continuance of a tradition estab- lished last year by the Commerce Clubs, sponsored bi-monthly noon movies in the auditorium. Tickets selling at two for five cents enabled the approximate two hundred students present at each noon movie to enjoy a half hour of re- laxation between morning and after- noon periods. Proj ectors' Club The club, under the guidance of Mr. Erwin Decker, intended to use the prof- its cleared from these movies to take motion picture recordings of Madera High and students, but insufficient funds prohibited the undertaking. Despite its service, the Projectors' Club was organized this year in the in- terest of capable projectors. Mr. Deck- er assumed responsibility of club activ- ities in his first year at Madera High. The club also is in charge of the am- plifying equipment and loud-speaking system. Although the club is smaller than any other organization in membership, no other club has contributed more to the aid of the general student body, be- lieves little Don. Eligibility of membership is limited to students who show an interest in pro- jection work and to those who have a small amount of mechanical ability. Student leadership was controlled by Raoul De Vere who fulfilled the execu- tive post for the full year. ,, .,-,,.............. Row 1-Jim Whitaker, Lemuel Wilson, Dario Boria, Leslie Church.

Mr. Edward Griswold, the Agricul- tural department head, and Mr. Allen Hatch, his assistant, along with the of- ficers and members of the F. F. A., were the ones who produced the real results. Individual honors this year go to Pete Laborde, senior member of the organi- zation. Laborde, through four years of notable work with sheep, was awarded the Safeway Scholarship to California Polytechnical College at the annual South San Francisco Livestock Show. All work and no play would make Don a dull boy, so he worked hand in hand to help the Aggies make their annual Barn dance a smashing success.

Boys' Commerce Club Don Coyote got his nose caught in a typewriter and, upon finding that he was unable to extricate it from the com- plicated mechanism, he joined the Boys' Commerce Club in order to find out how to get his nose out again. Don pitched right in and proved to be a great help to both of the Presidents, Roland Yauch and Joe Boyle. Membership in the Boys' Commerce Club is drawn from students specializ- ing in the business courses, and Whose interests are in these lines. Although the Boys' Commerce Club did not gain particular prominence in school activities, they carried on a suc- cessful year among themselves. Don Major Bowes Coyote made Stepping into the shoes of Boys' Com- quite an announcer when he introduced and rang off the different performers at the Amateur Hour assembly. They also enjoyed several informal parties and visited the Commerce Clubs' convention. The boys made several trips through- out the year, including one three-day trip to the Golden Gate International Exposition and San Francisco over Ma- dera Day last fall.

With Don Coyote adding his most welcome moral support, the members won first place for booth decorations at the annual Purple and White Carni- val for the second consecutive year. Not satisfied with this achievement, they went on to take second prize in a con- test in the Merced Rally Parade. Press Club members continued to add to their list of accomplishments when they presented to the entire school their annual news exhibit. Turning to their journalistic abilities the Press Club members have Mr. Art Sar- na as an advisor, Frank Cimino as presi- dent and Miss Carolyn Beckham as an advisor.

Trying his hand at the fine art of writing, Don Shakespeare II Coyote joined the Writers' Club. The Club is composed of a group of students who are interested in creative writing. The staff was headed by Helen Mugnolo, Editor, and Raoul De Vere, Business Manager. Mr. Fred Drake is Advisor. The club was organized early this year, and, although they are only cubs, they have recorded many accom- plishments. The first activity was their float in the Merced Rally Parade. Club members, anxious to enter school Three members deeply engrossed read- ing new school magazine Writers' Club activities, sponsored a hit-pin booth in the concession area at the Purple and White Carnival. Social interest and an unstable finan- cial status led the group to sponsor two noon dances. Finding that the proceeds had brought them out of a momentary depression, members, aided by little Don put on an evening Spring Dance in the gym. The club also sponsored a magazine called the Inklings, which was com- posed of the best literary writings of the school. Money was raised through the sale of candy and ice cream at the Punch Bowl.

Membership eligibility to the French club is predicated upon a semester's study of that language. All classes are enrolled in the language courses and the membership represents one of the widest cross-sections of the student body gathered together in any one or- ganization. The French Club accomplished one of the most outstanding feats of club recognition when they won the sweep- stakes award at the Purple and White Carnival for the second consecutive year. Beneath a setting of Parisian night life in a rough slum cafe, every- one who visited the Moulin Rouge saw pink elephants galore. Don was concerned about the welfare of the participants in the Apache dance, until Donna explained to him that it Miss Crystelle Clark, French Club advisor, helped the club carry on a very successful year. was all in good fun--that the dancers were simulating the roughness and that the dagger was made of rubber, and was a most innocious weapon. Thereafter Don rested easily, and was not surprised to see them appear again. He was par- ticularly enamored of other acts in the floor show-vocalizing by Robert Coyle and the performance of an accordion quartet. Cn December 8 the enterprising club members sponsored a noon dance in preparation for the Washington Day Dance. In a motif typical of Washing- ton and his episode with the cherry tree, the evening affair scored a big hit with social circles.

Girls' Athletic Association Donna Coyote, along with all the other athletic-minded girls of the school, found herself a member of the Girls' Athletic Association, playing games af- ter school and participating in many play days. Donna also did her good deed and helped Doralee Whiteside and Dorthea Krayenbuhl arrange programs for all the meetings, games and play days. The Girls' Athletic Association is the largest all-girls group organization in the school. lt was established in the late 20's by Mrs. Chambers in the interest of all athletically minded girls enrolled in the student body. Donna was asked for her opinion about the revisions made in the Club. Mrs. Lois Chambers again proved her ability as Girls' Athletic ad- visor with this organization one of the most active in school. To help make a successful and active year in Girls' Athletic As- sociation were first semester presi- dent Doralee Whiteside and second semester president Dorthea Kray- enbuhl. Miss Grace Fuller acted as advisor. sixty-six These included a schedule of points and the constitution revisions. There Was also a reorganization of after-school games. Association members, anxious to dis- play their athletic spirit to the school, entered a float in the Merced Rally Pa- rade. Furthering their active spirit was the association's concession in the Purple and White Carnival. Members gave an intra-club luncheon in the activity room of the gym in the spring. Club presidents first and second se- mesters Were Dorthea Krayenbuhl and Doralee Whiteside. Advisor was Mrs. Lois Chambers. .1 Q, ,, 4 J Q 3 '1 5 1 5 -1 3 Q i l 4 !

Varsity Football Little Don Coyote, not being large enough for varsity football, tried to be varsity mascot, but was forced to stay on the sidelines because he could be mistaken for a Bear at a distance. Con- sequently Richard Rigby got to lead the squad onto the field at every home game. Some optimistic hopes were darkened somewhat at the beginning of the sea- son by a 6-0 defeat at the hands of the alumni and a 26-0 shellacking by the Eureka High School Loggers. How- ever, a deceptive powerhouse offense began to click when the Coyotes held a strong Fresno Tech team to a 6-6 tie in the first league game of the season. The www flown next game and ran wild to trample the Livingston High School Wolves be- neath a 37-0 score. Fresno High School, revengeful for the 25-0 scalping handed to them by the Madera squad last year, pounded out a tough 14-0 victory over a hard-hitting local varsity. Spectators witnessed a rare sight on the local gridiron during the Edison Tech battle. On the kickoff Augie Schmidt, Edison's outstanding back, re- ceived the ball on his own thirty-four yard line and ran all the way through the Madera squad for a touchdown net- ting them a six point lead within the opening seconds.

Max Cowger and Keith Pinion con- tinually made their way through the Bengal line for an average of over four yards at a crack. Madera, through courtesy of the sen- sational drop-kicking of John Hughes, can now say they've tasted Rough Rider meat. ln an even battle for three-quar- ters and practically all of the fourth, the two teams slashed and tore at the otheris defenses, without success. How- ever, getting the break that the Coyote varsity needed, John Hughes attempted a drop kick from the edge of the field on the thirty yard stripe. The first try fell short and to the left of the uprights. Due to an offside penalty on Roosevelt, Madera had another chance to make the goal. The next try was successful, the ball sailing straight between the goal posts for three points, Final score, Ma- dera 10, Roosevelt 7. In the annual 4'Little Big Game, Mer- ced, led by Captain Sumner Peck and Jim Troupe, continually raked the vars- ity pigskinners with a Crossfire that would have eventually told on the strongest of the high school grid teams. The final score was Merced 25 and Ma- dera 6. Special events of the year were: Trips to Eureka, and the East-West game, Max Cowger getting the award for sports- manship, and Keith Pinion being voted the most outstanding man. Climaxing the grid season was the annual banquet at which the principal speaker was Mr. Harold Shipkey, Stan- ford Freshman football coach. Mr. Ross Kinney and Mr. Rinaldo Wren were praised highly for the squad's success. Shown above is the touchdoivn which tied up the game with Fresno Technical High School in the opening league clash. sixty-nine Little Don Coyote, when not chasing the towel cart onto the floor during time-outs, had quite an exciting time in basketball this year. The squad, losing only two of its league games, tied with Edison Tech for top league honors. In the game deciding the Fresno City League representatives in the valley playoffs, Edison, due to a last-second- thrown ball from the center of the court, beat off the Coyote five. In the first game of the year, the varsity quintet ran wild to landslide the Kerman Red Waves, 27-9. The next four of the local squad's opponents of- fered little resistance to the powerful varsity. Madera then traveled to Bak- ersfield to play the defending valley champs, the Bakersfield High School Drillers. Showing that fine fighting seventy Rooseve1t's rough-riding cage squad put up stiff opposition before finally being toppled. Above are Joe Campos, Bill Cerioni, Leland Edman, Jed Garthwaite, Tommy Harkins and John Hughes. Varsity spirit, the Drillers won over the Coyote pack to a count of 32-29. In the next game Fowler offered very little fight against the local aggrega- tion and lost to the tune of 32-24. In the first major defeat of the season, the Madera hoopsters were easy meat for the Fresno State Frosh. The final score was 33-16. Mentor of successful cage campaigns for two con- secutive years is Mr. Ed Atkinson. Fighting for domination of the league stand- ings are Bill Cerioni and Martin Goering. Above are Phillip Larson, Norman Pavey, Keith Pinion, Ralph Pirozzoli, Joe Poletti and Vernie Roberts. Basketball League competition opened With the Coyote five opposing the Fresno High School Warriors. In a nip and tuck battle for the Whole game, Madera emerged victorious with a one-point margin.

To break the monotony of steady league competition the varsity clashed with the Chinese All Stars in an exhi- bition game and lost 35-22. Local fans had a treat when again the Coyotes ran Wild to humble the Fresno High Warriors, 29-17. Roosevelt was the next victim of the Coyotes on- slaught and fell before a 26-24 count.

B class basketball started out with a bang by winning the majority of their practice games, but faltered in league competition and lost most of the games due to lack of experience. At the opening of the league season, the local quintet was dumped beneath large scores, but towards the latter end of the season, Madera gained a victory over Roosevelt in a return encounter. The end of the season indicated a de- cided improvement for many promising B class boys who will be on the varsity team next year. Outstanding players for the season Bill Farnesi, forward, high point man of the seasong Henry Soto, guard, an outstanding floor man.

He did, however, follow the team through the year and watched their fine showing throughout the season. Complying with a custom backed by years of tradition, the track season was opened with the annual interclass track meet. The Sophomores defied a two- year championship record and defeated the Seniors by a narrow margin, the Juniors placed third, and the Freshmen, last. Joe Serrano is pictured taking another first in the 1320. In second and third places are Ben Bishel and Art Burgess. In three invitational meets held here, the local Cinder artists swept over all the classes by a good majority. Even with this good start Coach Ray Kendall had all he could do to muster enough B and C class strength to beat Merced in the annual dual meet. In the Fresno County meet, Bob Young, light- weight sprinter, was the high point man of the meet with a total of 13:2 points.

Having nothing to do one period, Don Coyote was strolling out to the athletic field when, from the gym, there sud- denly issued forth the excited squeals of Madera's Amazons. The girls Were meeting for their daily schedules of gym classes. For no reason except inquisitive- ness, he stole quietly up to the gym door and quietly peeked in. There, on the gym floor, Was unveiled before his very eyes the most amazing game he had ever witnessed-a nevv game called basket-speed-ball. The vim and vigor with which the girls played Was, in Don's own Words, most astounding. Don, because of the youthful eager- ness with which the girls played, in- quired further into their athletic activi- ties. He found that the girls Were includ- ing Spanish dancing and folk dancing in their athletic program. The Spanish Shown in the left picture is Miss Grace Fuller, who assisted Mrs. Chambers in the sports activities of the girls. Mrs. Lois Chambers, Girls' Physical Edu- cation head, told the girls what to play and how to Girls' Sports dancing class directed by Miss Anna- bel Hall, performed at different places around town and Were very cordially received Wherever they appeared.

Donna, while she was taking folk dancing, learned to tap dance between preparations for various dance presen- tations. Don, feeling that Donna had special abilities in the shifty-footed sense, had sneaked in on a Girls' League meeting, disregarding the penalty for skipping class. Following this successful appear- ance, Donna learned an Italian dance and entertained the members of the Girls' Athletic Association. Many girls anxious to capture the school tennis singles crown entered in- tra-school competition. During her fifth period gym class, Donna played indoor games when the weather prohibited outside activity and found many games that were previously unknown to her at her immediate dis- posal. Athletically inclined members of the fairer sex set up an enviable record, de- spite the fact that they couldn't com- pete in any form of interscholastic com- petition. Girls who were particularly interest- ed in competing in athletic games, took part in after-school sports. As a reward for this activity, the Girls' Physical Ed- ucation Department, under the super- vision of Mrs. Lois Chambers, gave let- ter awards for the accumulation of a required number of points.
