It wa s the mid-point of the twentieth century and the fifty-third year of existence of Madera High. The growth of the school since the time of its founding has been great, but 1950 gave evidence of an even greater growth in the future . . New buildings filled up the campus and plans for more were undertaken to accommodate the influx of students. Modern equipment, new courses, additional teachers were necessary to fulfill their needs. In the future the school will change even more. ‘This book has a two-fold purpose — to nole the progress of the school, and to help us seniors remember it as it was — in the year ‘50.

Christensen WE REMEMBER him as teacher, friend Ae Although he left Madera High School in 1949, the Reverend John Christensen is well remembered by everyone in the senior class. For three years he taught us the arts of public speaking, debating, and oral English. He was our class adviser when we were juniors, and many of us were in his euidance group at some time during our first three years. In addition he coached debating, accompanying the teams to many contests, and was co-sponsor of the Masque and Gavel Club. The Reverend Christensen is a graduate of the University of Arizona where he majored in public speaking and English. He was a member of the varsity debate team there. Coming to Madera in 1946, he left in June of 1949 to follow his chosen voca- tion, and is now Rector of St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Merced. We of the senior class in dedicating the 1950 Blue and White to the Reverend Christensen desire to express our gratitude to him for his help to us as a teacher and as an adviser, and to wish him continued success in his chosen vocation.

Nek Showing characteristic pep and energy the class of '50 rolled up its freshman sleeves in 1946 to begin four active years of academic and social life in Madera High. The pace of events that followed for the class brought forth certain highlights that stand out in memory: Freak Day, the All-School carnival in 1046, and the Freshmen-Sophomore Reception of 1947. Me CHOSEN WORK WORTHY In the spring of 1949 the class scored a success in their presentation of the Junior Revue, entitled “River Revels.” Couples danced on the deck of a pirate ship to the flapping of billowy sails above, and partook of refreshments served by the bold pirate crew. With a hard working able senior cast, the class presented the favorite old comedy hit Charley's Aunt as its senior play.

GITIZAEIN SNOW ey When 1950 was still young came the tradi- tional Sneak Day, which the class spent enjoying winter sports at Badger Pass. Then came as the most inspiring event of all. and the climax of four years—graduation. The class of 50 had many able advisers during its stay in Madera High, and wishes to thank them all, especially Richard Mastin, our present spon- sor, who had the difficult responsibility of super- vising our senior activities and graduation cere- monies ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE: — -— i� .

During their freshman year the class of (51 presented the annual freshman assembly and participated in. the traditional Freshman Freak Day. In their sophomore year they were responsible for the reception which welcomes all the freshmen to Madera High. Near the end of the year they ordered their class rings, which arrived at the beginning of the first term of their junior year. Class sweaters were purchased and they staged the Junior Revue which provided the funds for the Prom. Carl Larson was the class adviser during the freshman year, and Con Winder took over the job during the second year. Miss Lois Smades is class adviser at present.

The history of the freshman class is very short, of course, but that doesn't mean that our first ear at Madera High School has been idle. We survived threats of initiation from upperclassmen, and found out that their bark was much worse than their bite. First big event of the year—alter the first day of school—was Dress-up Day. Winners of this event were awarded free copies of the 1950 Blue and White. In the annual Freshman show Dec ember 9. we entertained the student body with a talent program. Another highlight of the year was the reception given in our honor by the sophomore class. John Hofer. commerc ial instructor, was our ad- viser this year.

Here's the rundrown on the starters: Ends Foun- tain Rudel and Dave Clair stood out as top-notch pass receivers. Bob Gutierrez and J. D. Simmons, tackles, brought down many opponents with slash- ing blocks and driving tackles. Vern Findley and Junior Dominici played a lot Carlen stretches to outdistance a tackler. of rough and tumble ball at the euard spols. Cen ter Fermin Huarte turned in a fine performance as a blocker and line backer. Richard Rigby, a boy who does everything with the football except blow it up, did a top job at quarler- back. Bill Noli and Tom Schoettler alternated al left half and made many fine runs. Right half Leon Potter also picked plenty of yardage and added some fine tackles. Kieth Carlen, fullback, did a bang up job at the power position. He was the leading scorer and ground gainer. Schoettler side-steps a tackler and moves downfield. award Joe Mello congratulates Dominici, winner of Most Improved Player Three successive victories marked the opening of the 1049 season. The Coyote gridders smashed in their opening game. The Coyotes were led by Keith Carlen’s three touchdowns. Carlen repeated his feat against Porterville as the Coyotes took over the Pan- thers, 51 to 7. This game was considered the Coyote's finest of the season. Hollister easily, 27 to 7, Alter a sluggish start against Washington of Fresno the Coyotes finally found themselves and crashed out a 32 to 7 victory. They looked poor against WU, even though racking up a good Roosevelt, pre-season favorite in the League, invaded Madera and gave the Coyotes a severe jolt. The final score was 13 to 6, as they pic ked up the advantage in the first half and played even up in the second. score.

The Warriors, although oul- played, took a 14 to 7 win. A second half come back was not enough to bring a win for the Coy- otes over Edison. The Tigers built up a two TD lead in the first half and struggled through the last to win 12 to 7. The Coyotes exploded against’ Hanford for their first League win. They had the upper hand all the way, and piled up a 59 to 0 count. Carlen’s 15-yard rushing and Richard Rieby’s 75-yard run, alone with his other fine play, highlighted this game. Our old rivals, the Merced Bears, this years champions, gave us our worst beating of the season. The Bears capitalized on many Coy- ote fumbles to make five touchdowns. The final score was 32 to 6. The biggest thrill for the Coyotes was Carlen’s 64-yard run for Madera’s only TD. Carlen cuts in and heads for goal, one yard away. oa ee TAVERN PARAEME ASA) B FOOTBALL SQUAD, Row 1: Blackwell, Fleming, Martin, Walters, Montanari, Sotelo, Lara, Yoshida, Solis, Flores, Mc Cool, Row 2: Hinson, Bush, Mazzella, Flores, Criswell, Hemphill, Wisener, Rubio, Brosi, Cain, Medellin, Kuhn, Valdivia Row 3: Valdivia, manager, Shaw, Rollins, Payne, Bottorlf, Sambueso, Hardin, Perez, Ricketts, Hatcher, Firmalo, Mays, Romine, Kollman, Ravlin, manager, COVOle FURS found the season tough ae, Plagued throughout the year by second-half doldrums out of which they could not shake themselves, the B’s did not pile up an enviable record in league play this year. While they often took off in the first period like a jet-powered airplane they invariably came a cropper and wound up in the short end of the score. Continual and long periods of drill could not remedy the situation. At quarterback was Lupe Solis, a freshman, who will be back again next year. Mainstay of Coach Mel Frank's defense was Bob Yoshida, quarterback. Bill Blackwell, who started every game at full- back, was the Pups’ most consistent ground gain- er. Hallback spots were filled by Fred Martin t} Johnny Firmalo Joe Sotelo and L. B. Hinson, also responsible for many of the Coyotes’ advances. Duane Bush and Ken Rollins did creditable jobs at end receiving passes of quarterback Solis. Two hard-charging tackles were Don Hatcher and Jon Romine. One of the top linemen was John Firmalo, guard, who also kicked all of the Pups’ conversion points. The other hard-hitting guard was Bill McCool. At the middle of the line, and absorh- ing a great deal of the punishment, was center Bill Bottorff. If the Pups had been able to sustain during a full game their first half drive and fight, the league scores would undoubtedly have told a dif ferent story. Bill Bottorll OPPONENTS FOUND B’s SCRAPPY Showing championship form in pre-season practice games, Coach Mel Frank's B football squad captured two out of three of their opening matches. In league play, however, they declined, dropping all five Yosemite League meetings to end the season in the cellar. In their opening game the Coyote Pups came from behind to squeeze by the Hollister Haybal- ers 15 to 14, paced by the hard running of Bill Blackwell and Fred Martin. The Panther Cubs from Porterville rocked Ma- dera back on their heels in the second practice game. They started quick and pounded the Coy- otes to a 19 to 0 finish. In the next game the Pups showed a return of power by knocking over the hard fighting Washington Union B squad 9 to 0. A high-riding team from Roosevelt over-pow- ered the Pups 19 to 0 in Fresno in the first Yo- semite League contest. The score of the B squad game with Fresno High echoed that of the vars- ity, when Madera lost to the tune of 14 to 7. Coming closer to victory in their next battle, the Pups let the Edison Tiger Kittens slink by them 15 to 7. Sparked by Ted Nakahara _ the Merced Cubs held the Coyotes at bay in the fourth league set-to, the final score being 20 to 14 for the northerners. Smarting under their string of losses Madera lashed out at the Hanford Terriers in the last league game and so dazzled their opponents that they were out in front 13 to 0 at the end of the half. Expectant Maderans, howling for a victory, found their hopes dashed, however, by the sec- ond-half slump into which the Coyotes skidded. The Terriers held the Pups and piled up 19 points to end the game 19 to 13.

COYOTE CAGERS have The Coyote cagers finished fourth in the Yo- semite League with a record of four wins and six losses. Their first defeat was at the hands of the Fresno Warriors 46 to 39. It was one of their best-ployed games of the year. John Black- burn, with 17 points, sparked the Coyote attack. Madera lost again in the following contest, but this time much more dex idedly. The opponent was Edison: the score was 23 to 43. George Me- Crady was high man with eight points. Roose- velt brought another defeat down on the Coyotes in a 38 to 29 contest. MeceCrady Was again high point man, tallying 15 points. First victory for the Coyotes came at the ex- pense of the Merced Bears. The Madera cagers won going away, 38 to 29.
