Another proud acc- omplishment was ''Review in Blue the annual eprine show. With a full treasury resulta from these projects and the knowledge that they had one last year in which to make the most of high school life, these ''almost adults rushed into school work and activities in full force. The results in the first semester were the annual Senior Class, Play ''No More Homework , a 3-act comedy staged on December 1,2, and 3, at Thomas Jefferson School, and ''Moonlight Mist , the traditional Christmas Ball held at the National Guard Armory, and darren ee by Senior Horizon Girls.. Spring sprung fast, and with it came plans and anticipa- tion for the approaching graduation, as well as the need for upteen hundred'' committees in connection with the final date. Senior Sneak Day started the ball rolling on the week- end of Lincoln's Birthday, during which time Seniors head- ; ed in all directions....mountains, coast, North and South. Senior Assembly, headed by Sara Ervin and Bill Cheatham, was next in line on April 26, after which Senior Reception chairmanned by Janice Clark, was hel on May 25.

The Freshmen chose as their candidates for King and Queen, Sally Stewart and Gary Ragnetti. Representing the Sophomores were Mary Culp and Gary Allison; then began a big scale ticket selling drive. Since upperclassmen aren't allowed to attend the reception and lower classmen are invited free, door-prizes and votes were the main incentive for payee the tickets. The Sophomores roved to be the champs, and Mary and ary were crowned, Another aspect of the reception was the hard work which went into the dance itself. The chairmen were: Harlene Matchette, docorations; Ron Noblin, shoes; Kelvin Mc- Gaughy, Master of Ceremonies; and Mary ale refreshments. n the spring, the show case in the main hall was suddenly the center of attraction. On display were the '58 class rings! Each style was carefully noted by the Sophomores and then a vote was taken. Rings were ordered, and then the exit began, for when the rings arrived, the Sophomores would become upperclassmen, ——- oa maa. Carefully looking over the selection of class rings, with an e occasional argument were Connie Gee, Mike Crafton, and Cynthia, the ring committee. ‘ee | . e ABOVE: Kelvin McGaughy crowns Mary , pe Culp Queen while Gary Allison blushed.

Chief duty for hard working members was the snack booth at every basketball game. Each member took his or her turn (and many took more). Other big projects included a booth at the last football game, the last after game dance of the basketball season and selling tickets for the faculty play.

Holding the officers' of Regional Secretary and District Vice-President is not only an honor but a responsibility, and lots of hard work went into the job of performing each duty well. On the social side, the new members this year were treated with an initiation party in February; however, the day of the event they were required to dress as leaders of History . A judging was held at noon and the winners were Carla Oberti and Bruce Clark. To top the year off right, a picnic was given for CSFers, and they at last realized! C.S.F, MEMBERS, FIRST ROW: K.

Under the guidance of Mr.Gamboa and Miss Patton, Pan American Student Forum is one of the most active clubs on campus. Each mem- ber of the club has had at least one semester of Spanish. The biggest event of the year is their annual Fiesta with singing and dancing from south of the border. Early in the year, a formal initia- tion and installation was held with a special feature of moving pictures of Mexico. A Spanish style Christmas party and a year-end picnic round out a full schedule of activities. Their motto 'Of one blood hath He made all nations' ' is a constant challenge.

HEAD COACH LINE COACH BACKFIELD COACH LINE COACH LeRoy Zimmerman Vern Brooks Joe Pettit Pete Badorine MADERA UNION HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM In football for Madera this was our banner year, This year for the first time the Coyotes were coached by LeRoy Zimmerman. Coach Zimmerman, assisted by coaches Joe Pettit, Vern Brooks, and Pete Badorine, really put Madera on the football map. Last year Madera was last in the league; this year we tied for first and won the right to represent the league in the league playoffs. We beat Porterville for the semi-finals title and then played the Bakersfield High Drillers for the San Joaquin Valley Champion- ship. The Drillers beat us in a hard fought battle 33-19, but Madera students were justifiably proud of our team this year. The Coyotes had the strongest team in the league with five all-league players. Rolland Lasher, a junior, was first string center. Lloyd Amey, another junior, was a first string halfback. Ermous Malone, a senior made the other halfback slot. Senior tackles L, J. Wilson and Bob Stafford really made the headlines, Wilson was first string All-League and second string All-Centeral. Stafford made first string All-League, first string All-Central, and second string All-Northern California.

This year the junior varsity started out with just about nothing to show for a team, But under the coaching of Mr. Pettit and Mr, Badorine the JV's worked themselves into a hard fighting outfit. The JV's played five games, winning two, losing two, and tying one, But their main job was to simulate as best they could the Varsity's coming opponents, The strength of the Varsity defense can really be in part attributed to the fine job the JV's did.

The team then traveled to Dos Palos and lost again 5-3, a few costly errors being the losing margin. The Coyotes played Dos Palos again and this time fell completely apart making nine errors and only two hits. The score was 13-0. The first league game with Edison was very near as our Blue and White deadline foreclosed, but hope for a successful team seems only fair. The pitching department was well settled with the big right arm of Bob Stafford, and the defense was tight, except for the Dos Palos game.

ADMINISTRATION ‘a? et | Also, determination The great majority of you graduates at Madera Union High School this year were born in 1939, some in 1940, but all before the disaster at Pearl Harbor which brought the entrance of the United States into World War II, By the time you were a full fledged member of the first grade, the United States had made a landing in North Africa, the first step in our determined effort to recoup our naval losses and our damaged prestige. When you reached out for your 8th grade diploma in 1952, the second World War had long since been concluded - but how victoriously is a question, Not the least of the indirect results of those fateful days has been an unbelievable increase in births in this country, Innumerable births meant over-flowing schools and crowded schools meant a mounting number of high school graduates, The greater the number of graduates, the less the importance attached toa high school diploma when competing for successful employment, The less the stature of the diploma, the more the importance attached to personality and determination as factors affecting elusive success. George W. Longenecker wrote some years ago: Life's battles won't always go to the strongest or fastest man, But sooner or later, the man who wins is the man who thinks he can, The importance of determination was never more obvious than with our 1955 football teams, You were part of that thrilling experience, May the same determination to win, displayed by those boys, be your constant aim as you leave Madera Union High School, L., C.
