V J' f y THE MADILL WILDCAT Published by the 1958 Yearbook Staff TABLE OF CONTENTS Organizations MADILL WILDCAT YEARBOOK WE'LL REMEMBER by Irene Savage All the memories of our days Will forever live with us. The Monday mornings, the rainy days. The times we missed the bus. Those failures and passes. All the honors and the short week-ends. All the rush between classes. Busy chats with our friends... And at the ball games. The different atmospheres. The hopes, the excitement, tense moments- But through all, the brave cheers. The bright glory Of being in our teens. The cokes, the homework. The latest fads, (in blue jeans). But of all the things, the one That we'll remember best. Is the undying SCHOOL SPIRIT In classrooms and at contest. This page is dedicated to the memory of Patsy Alyine Hall, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Hall. Patsy, a junior of 1957, was staff artist for the WILDCAT yearbook of 1956 and was chosen to have that position for this is- sue. She received superior ratings in art and speech during her high school years. She was a member of the Student Council, Quill and Scroll, Pep Club, and she served as a class officer. Patsy became ill during her junior year and passed away on January 2, 1957. The following selection is her favorite poem: So live, that when the summons comes to join The innumerable caravan, which moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death. Thou go not, like the quarry slave at night. Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave. Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him and lies down to pleasant dreams. John Murray, president of the Board of Education, directs a meeting. SEATED, Left to Right: W. C.

Witnesse our hands this sixth day of February, 1958 Witness Witness HISTORY 3 In September, 1946, twenty-one bright eyed and eager youngsters began their school career. They were Maxine George, Ro Jane Huebsch, Mary Sartin, John Morgan, Olene Edwards, Johnnie Ruth McClure, William Eppler, Carl Chaney, Glen Griffin, Dali Peoples, Adiene Justice, Novita Freeman, Cyrilla Petty, Sue Tate, Vonnie Ward, Claudia Halkins, Albert Self, Lyn Abies, Chuck Barber, Bobbie Danner Roberts, James Southworth, Kenneth Freeman, and Ronny Goff. We had only one pupil, Paul Voyles, to join us in the second grade. For the next two years nothing special happened. We were growing up. No one joined our group these two years. Johnny Trout joined the class in the fourth grade. The fifth grade year was our first year to be upstairs, and Dennis Carter was our only new arrival. Our class was gradually growing. Another charming, Charlotte Holt, joined the group in the sixth grade. Graduation from grade school highlighted the seventh year. Judy Shelby, Peggy Scott, Blake Smiley, and Kenneth Thomas finished that year with us. Finally we were in high school. Kenneth Muncrief and David Dunn joined us in the eighth grade. In the ninth year Irene Savage, Henryetta Pierce, Jim Gilbertson, Carl Brown, Fate Hackler, Janis Eddington, Billy Self, and Max Morgan came to our class. In 1956 we moved into the new senior high school building. The new sophomores were Ruth Taylor, Doug Emory, Hattie Russell, Alice Swan, and Ronad Eddington. Our junior year was a big one. We had a junior play, “The Red Handker- chief Man. This helped make possible the Junior-Senior Banquet at Texoma Lodge with “Oklahoma” as the theme of our banquet. A redhead, Myra Mc- Cullough Pitts, and two brothers, J. C. and Harlan Shirley, joined our class. Our senior year, 1958, was busy with banquets, announcements, commencement, and baccalaureate. This year Judy Hyman and Jackie and Bill Dayhoff enrolled, making fifty-two seniors to graduate.
