John P. 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.
