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.

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. The tripping of the light fantastic was sponsored by the Senior class. Arline Drake was Senior
