The story in this book in pictures and print is the memoirs of the student, his activities and his friends. Madera High has increased in size nearly one-third in the past few years. New buildings are being added this year, and there will be a demand for more with the beginning of next year and the large freshman enrollment. In this volume of the Blue and White the staff has simply purposed to present a year at Madera High-a year' of study, activities, and sports, with a forward glance at progress this year and expansion in the next. ,Q I sb Ji J. el 'ifij ,CA ?'

This department is one of the busiest in school. The work includes all the bookkeep- ing and the payrolls for the school. Financial accounts for all the school clubs, athletics and organizations are kept here. Purchases of school supplies are also made through this office. Library Library students, directed by Mrs. Vivian Wiegand, are assigned to desk duties which consist of waiting on customers, finding ref- erence material and checking out books and magazines. Keeping the library attractive and in order, typing overdue cards, and keeping bulletin boards changed weekly is another duty. Students are given a course in library training before they are allowed to work at the circulation desk. As the course progresses they are given a series of tests to determine their capacities as student librarians. aiu llffiee The assistants who help in the main office are students regularly enrolled in school, who receive credit for their work. They learn first hand things required of office workers in business firms. The following are some of the duties they fulfill: filing, typing, alphabetizing, learning to work the switchboard, and running er- rands. The office is in charge of Mrs. Edith Hughes, and Mrs. Patricia Dosher. Health Department Mrs. Lois Chambers is health coordinator for Madera high school. She is responsible for making dental and medical appointments so that students are assured of adequate medical care. Mrs. Chambers is also in charge of the midvmorning snack and a great many of the medical benefits offered through the school. Cafeteria Staff To the cafeteria staff goes the job of pre- paring and serving food to hundreds of hungry students at lunch time. Since there is only one adult on the staff, it is a job done by students and for the students. They plan the meals, prepare it, and serve it. Theirs is also the job of cleaning up after the lunch customers depart. Bus Drivers Our school has the extra word, Union, in its name. By the simple addition of this word and all it means, a great number of students from the country are thrown into this one school. The task of rounding up and carrying these students to high school is handed to the bus drivers, an important group in the staff of the high school. Gardeners It has oltcn been said that Nll .Hb has one of the most beautiful campuses in-the valley, Credit for the appearance of the lawn and grounds must go to the gardeners. who have a continuous job getting it in cona dition and keeping it that way. An important part of their work is in landscaping the new memorial stadium. llusledians Madera High School is a large place, and .1 lot of it is floor. Floors must be clean, and that is the task of the janitors. To them goes credit for keeping the school shipshape. They not only carry on their endless job of clean- ing, but also see that necessary repairs are made in school equipment. The heating plant of the school is also in their depart- ment. 4 l -1, .

Through co-operation of the entire student body the junior class produced the variety show River Revelsn in May. The proceeds of this show were used for the staging of the annual junior-Senior Prom held june 7. Since the changing of the school colors the juniors had their choice of either blue or white for their sweaters. The sale of class rings brought in a large amount of money. More, in fact, than any preceding year. The class of 50 is looking forward to another successful football season with some properly experienced players from this year's champions: Richard Rigby, Lyle Hood, Fermin I-Iuarte, Fountain Rudel, and joe Wells, The class also placed on this year's basketball squacl: John Blackburn, Paul Stewart, Richard Rigby, George McCrady, Toshiaki Minamoto, Leon Potter, and Sam Gekko. Both assistant yell leaders, Marion Huntsman and Cricket Wisener, several pom-pom girls, and many officers of the stu- dent body were Juniors. Sponsor of the junior Class was john Christensen.

The present sophomores, who were just beginners in 1947, were honored at the annual Freshman-Sophomore Reception, during their first high school year. A Welcome theme was used to make them feel at home and to better acquaint them with the other students. The class presented the Freshman Assembly last year, many talented students participating. Mr. Carl Larson, their adviser, directed the assembly and was in charge of all their freshmen activities. This year it was the sophomores' turn to entertain the fresh- men. The theme used was Spring, junior rings were ordered during the spring so they can be distributed at the beginning of the junior year. Class officers for the first semester were Bill Noli, president, Bob Campbell, vice-presidentg Grace Jorgensen, secretary. Second semester officers were: David Schoettler, president, George jones, vice-president, Leon Potter, secretary, and Bill Noli, treasurer. fl I ' i are N9 Q 'X .fx il x 'kg x 'vs,.M.

This is the traditional dress-up day for the Frosh, and they contend for prizes for their costumes. Everyone was running around school from Carmen Miranda to George Washington. Then came the big day when the Freshman assembly was held. It gave them a chance to show the rest of the students their talents and abilities. Many who took part in this program were later given a chance to appear in other assemblies and programs around school. Later in the year the Sophomores welcomed the Frosh at the Freshman-Sophomore Reception. The Freshmen took an active part in sports and other school activities during the year. If they keep up the good work they should really get something out of their high school career. ,2- N m , ,,e wg. . N st 'A' 1.11: i X 's I FRESHMAN FALL OFFICERS: Dominici, Brooks, Garri, Wisener.

Senior Album From the time the class of '49 entered M.U.H.S. as meek little freshmen until they became high and mighty seniors, they were engaged in many activities and social affairs as well as studies. The social affairs in which they have participated include the Freshman-Sopho- more Reception which they put on for the Freshmen when they were Sophomoresg the junior-Senior Prom for the Seniorsg the junior Revue, and the Senior Play. Looking ahead, some seniors are plan- ning a college career, and others will enter a business. In whatever profession they follow, however, they will find their four years at Madera High memorable ones. xy! , A . Mr, n .

Many clubs give everyone a chance to develop qualities of good citizenship and leadership, which benefit the students now and will continue to make them better members of the community in later life. Organizations on the campus are varied so as to give every person a chance to be- long to at least one club in which he or she is interested. N ' fd ' ' ,.',,.ru 4- 4,16 L 1-9- al'lll0ll6 ,, .

Besides being treated to an exchange assembly with Kerman high school there were demonstrations and lectures on other subjects. Boys Federation also sponsored the annual Boys Federation Punch Bowl, and sold basketball programs at home games. Funds derived from various money raising activities were used to buy the Yosemite league pennant-winning football coaches gifts during the first semester and also to take care of any debts of sick or injured boys during the year. The boys had a relatively active year with Ken McCombs and Bill Gamboa as sponsors and advisers. One highlighted program in March was the basketball game between the seniors and the underclassmen. The final score was 53 to 10, with the seniors at the top.

The League unites the girls of all classes and brings them closer to- gether. Cultural and social opportunities are important to all girls. This is not overlooked by the League. Leadership is also encouraged. The capable girls in office during the past year are proof of this. Participation in the programs provides excellent experience, and gives recognition to many who otherwise might be overlooked. A tea, sponsored by the senior girls, was given for women faculty members and Girls League. A Blossom Day dance and a picnic rounded out the year.

The Gardening Club was organized for the purpose of giving boys first hand experience in the technique of gardening. A plot of ground was set aside for their use near the bus garage where they raise a variety of vegetables. Mr. Harry Dickson is instructor of the group. asqne and Gavel This club is a high school honorary in speech arts, sponsored by the Northwestern University speech department.

Senior Pla , 'Ever Since E H' The 1948-1949 school year brought with it many pleasant moments, One of the most pleasant was the presentation by the Senior Class of the play Ever Since Eve. This 'comedy deals with such adventures and misadventures as the love life of a journalism teacher and a principal, the quarantine of the high school's paper's editor for measles, and the vamp techniques used by a southern belle. A considerable amount of teamwork was employed in the production. The cast and the production staff plus the prop men and Miss Nelsons artists all teamed up under dramatics coach, Kenneth Phinney to make the play a success. After the last performance the play cast and the production staff retired to the science auditorium for an informal party.

All fifty-three members of the faculty cooperated to make the play a suc- cess. Those who did not appear on stage filled positions on production and business staffs. Senior boys and members of the Girls League waged a ticket selling contest for the play. The girls won the victory. The first faculty play to be produced since 19-il, The Man Wliiv Came To Dinner, was one of the most enthusiastically received and entertaining plays ,ever presented at the high school.

Earlier in the year an annual committee was chosen to pave the way for the final staff. This corps of stu- dents consisting of Jim Cheuvront, Dorene Dufloth, Scott Piper, Bill Smith, Floyd Shillings, and Gloria Firmalo, submitted many new ideas to make this year's annual one of finest quality. The sale of the annuals was done by two representa- tives of each class and the annual committee. To finance the annual, besides the money collected for each annual sold, the committee sponsored a dance and sold cokes at various football games. From the proceeds of the faculty play a total of 3300 was given to help finance the annual. During the course of the year Mr. Richard Mastin and jim Cheuvront took pictures of dances, football games and many activities. These pictures were put into file for use when preparing copy for the annual. Many journalism students cooperated with the an- nual staff to meet deadlines. They assisted by typing copy, identification of pictures and copy reading. After long tedious hours of hard work the finished product was sent to the printers to be made into the new Blue and White, which was eagerly awaited by the student body.

',' - S il x' im Was Enveraqe A streamlined, tabloid size newspaper which would give as complete coverage as possible of all school events was the goal of the 1948-19-19 staff of The Maderan. Financially speaking, the paper was made possible through the hard work of the business staff, which brought in as much advertising as it was possible to run. During the spring semester a new publication made its first appearance. The News-Letter, produced as a project by the beginning journalism class was issued monthly. Distributed through the County Superintend- ent's office, the News-Letter was designed to inform eighth-grade students of courses, social affairs, and activities at the high school. The fall staff of the Maderan was as follows: Scott Piper, editorg Gloria Fitmalo, assistant editor, Carlin Steiner, sports editor, Paul Vincent, business mana- get.

The Coyotes drew first blood early in the game as Peanut Aguirre climaxed along drive with an I 1-yard touchdown jaunt. The remainder of the first quarter and part of the second saw the two teams playing on even terms, then came the fatal moments. The Drillers ex- ploded with three fast tallies. The scores resulted from two passes of five and 51 yards and a 25-yard run. The Coyotes fought back hard in the third period and came through for another touchdown. joe Wells topped off another long drive as he went over from the six. Madera gave everything they had in the rest of the contest but were unable to score.

Their League record included one win, one tie, and three losses. In their first game they came from behind to tie Roosevelt 7 to 7. The Pups won their only game when they bounced Edison to the tune of 6 to 0. Then they were slaughtered by the Fresno Papooses in a 27 to 7 massacre. The Pups drew first blood against the Hanford Terriers but their oppon- ents roared back to win, 20 to 13. In the season final against their arch rivals, Merced, the Pups were out to win. They soored first, but the Cubs were too much and a series of bad breaks cost them the game, 19 to 6. .1 - QL .

Kneeling, Clair, Rigby, 1949 Basketball Season The Varsity basketeers finished in third place in the Yosemite League, not quite living upto pre-season expectations. League ranking does not tell the whole story, however. The Coyotes made it tough for all their opponents. Their worst beating came from the powerful F.H.S. Warriors, to whom they lost by 15 points. ln their first meeting, and their best game of the season, they gave the champs a rough and tough battle. With the exception of the Warriors the Coyote cagers defeated every team at least once and Hanford twice. The Coyotes ended with a .500 percent average.

At the time of writing only one track meet had been held, the Interclass meet, traditionally the first of the season, The seniors were overwhelmingly the victors in the meet. The Madera B squad, with an even distribution of strength in most track and Field events, seemed to have best prospects for a championship this year. The track of Memorial stadium was used for the first time this season. The lights and the field made prospects of night track meets a definite possi- bility. With preliminaries held in the afternoon, main events at night would attract more spectators and give participants more incentive.
