FOREIGN STUDENT Isobel Dick, from the Republic of South Africa, was Madera High's first foreign student. She was sponsored by the community through the American Field Service Program, which brings students from fifty-seven different countries. A graduate of -Northlands Girls’ High School in Durban, South Africa, Isobel arrived in August to make her home with the Robert A. Howe family. She enrolled in Madera Union High School as a member of the class of 63. By hard work and at a pace that would exhaust most of us, she proved herself both academically and socially. Isobel is indeed a credit to her homeland and has won the admiration of all at Madera High. BOYS’ STATE AND GIRLS’ STATE Sj aE Steven Mortimer, Carrie Wren, and Albert Wilburn. Miss Isobel Dick Boys’ State is a movement spon- sored by the American Legion. Representatives attending this convention are taught practical civics. They become a member of a party and may run for office. Al Wilburn and Steven Mortimer represented us well at Boys’ State. Girls’ State is a similar organiza- tion to Boys’ State. Members are given an insight into government by practical experience. Carrie Wren was chosen to represent Madera High at Girls’ State.

Editor-in-Chief, Gerald Sherian The Madera Union High School yearbook pub- lication, the Blue and White, is appropriately named for the school colors. The first Madera High yearbook, the Purple and White, was pub- lished in 1914. The name was changed to Blue and White in 1949. This year is the forty-ninth anniversary of the yearbook. The Blue and White is edited by a chosen staff of seniors who work on an extra-curricular basis, receiving no class credits for their time and efforts. The yearbook is financed through the sales of yearbooks and advertisements. This year's Blue and White fea- tures many innovations. Some of these new fea- tures are linotype, a sans-serif type face, a buck- rum cover, embossed paper, duo-tone end sheets, and much more color. Also it is the first MUHS yearbook to exceed two hundred pages. Advisor, Robert Trestrail
