1Q64 WILDC Published by the 1964 Yearbook Staff Madill High School Madill, Oklahoma Foreword Hands represent the numerous high school experiences that create memories for years to come: just missing a last-minute basket at a most important game, proudly displaying a senior ring that finally arrived, or walking hand in hand with that certain person. Our minds and bodies work together with our hands to help make us bet- ter students as well as better citizens for tomorrow. Hands seek knowledge by striving to improve writing skills or un- riddling a tough geometry prob- lem. Athletes, too, use their hands to score touchdowns, achieved only through strenu- ous calisthenics. All during the year, students spend long hours after school painting and draw- ing posters that tell of a com- ing game or meet After realiz- ing how hands contribute so greatly to school life, the 1964 WILDCAT staff decided to use them as your yearbook theme. -The WILDCAT Staff The Beginning of the End The school vear 1963-64 brought “the beginning of the end” to the members of the senior class. You ordered your rings in the tradi- tional manner; had senior pictures taken; marked the year with an abundance of pep and school spirit; attended the wonderful Junior- Senior Banquet and Baccalaureate. Then came your final walk down MHS halls to Commencement. Yes, Seniors, this was your year. The year of big decisions when dreams were built, and friendships were won and lost. You yelled your hearts out while tears flowed down your cheeks at your last football game. You laughed and joked through Senior Week and, vet, you wept inside. Now graduation and a whole new world lie in waiting for you. For some it means jobs and marriage, but for even more it means start- ing to college and exploring a new field of education. So we, the yearbook staff, feel that this is your year and your yearbook. As time marches on and life unfolds its plans for you, open your yearbook and remember. Re- member your dreams, friends, joys, and sorrows. This is your past. Your future is ahead of you. All this brings you to the end—and, yet, the beginning of life. TABLE OF CONTENTS Administration and Faculty . . . hand and mind can use the toots they get.” —Stephen Vincent Benet The administration and faculty of Madill High School realize that a little assistance can go a long way. A kind word, a pleasant gesture, encourage- ment or criticism all combine to help make better citizens. In this Atomic Age too few people are willing to give their time to offer guidance to those seek- ing it. Here with us at M.H.S. is someone who is always ready to listen to our problems and counsel with us. This volume will be stored in libraries • for decades to come. Let those who read this now and in the future know that our education was earned by the application and guidance of Madill High School’s administration and faculty. Leadership Demands Mrs. Rojane Gilmore, the superintendent’s sec- retary, reflects energy and ability to all office visitors. Courage and Strength Mr. Ernest Dr)' became Superin- tendent of the Madill Public Schools this past summer. He came to this of- fice after serving as Madill Junior High School principal for one year. His teaching and administrative career has been in Oklahoma and New Mexico. Mr. Dry believes that education is one of the most dynamic services offered by the government to its people. The chal- lenge of the individual teacher is a great one, in that it molds the child into the citizen of tomorrow. He be- lieves that the student’s responsibility .is as great, in that today’s youth must be provided the leadership and courage needed in the future. With these two concepts in mind, Mr. Ernest Dry works constantly to see that our community, state, and nation will reap the benefit of the educational activities of the Ma- dill Public Schools. Mr. Ernest Dry, Superintendent of the Madill Schools, meets the heavy demands of his responsibility. Principal Harold Slack is known to the students that enter his office as a man of his word and a man who practices what he preaches. Principal's Role Is One of Efficiency Mrs. Glenda Cox attends to one of her many daily tasks, accurate- ly checking Madill High School’s attendance record. As principal of Madill High School, Mr. Harold Slack administers its pro- gram with a firm hut kind hand. With a background of experience in every phase of the education process from student to classroom and athletic coach, he extends encouragement to students and teachers in achieving the academic success he expects from the school’s curriculum. He received his B.A. in in- dustrial arts and his M.T. in school ad- ministration at Southeastern State Col- lege. Mr. Slack is currently working on his doctorate at the University of Okla- homa. Board Directs Physical and Academic Improvements Untold hours of devoted efforts are put in annually by the unsung heroes of the Madill Board of Education. Throughout the year, with patience and understanding, this policy-making group assumes responsibility and sup- ports the interests of the students, faculty, and general public. In order to aid the students’ social and academic endeavors, the board has directed phys- ical improvements such as the remodel- ing of the home economics room, the placing of new glass backboards in the gymnasium, the installing of a new superintendent’s office in the senior high building, the construction of con- crete curbing around the track field, the improvement of the school libraries, and the purchasing of an activity bus. Working for the interests of the Madill youth, the board and other individuals have functioned efficiently and tire- lessly to provide the best possible edu- cational facilities from playground to graduation. The Board of Education is the body which regulates most phases of school operation. Members include R. D. Phillips, Ira Dollar, B. B. Landgraf, E. A. Walker, vice-presi- dent; Rojane Gilmore, clerk; William Flan- agan, president, and Ernest Drv. superin- tendent. Not pictured is Doyle White, treasurer. Cafeteria workers, Doris Sprouse, Lorene Jackson, Alvina Knight, Zella Mae Johnson, Mittie Coe, Bettve Sandefur, and Bill Stroud, spend many hours preparing delicious food for hungry MHS students. _ , , , , The close of day finds Fred Shipley and Les Sons, cus- todians, busy cleaning up after Unrecognized Heroes of MHS Much praise is given to the administration and faculty of our school, but little recognition is given to those whose jobs keep our school plant in operation. The Custodians are on duty from the time we arrive in the morning until long after we have departed at the close of day. The food in our cafeteria is prepared by diligent workers whom we seldom see. And never a day goes by that our bus drivers aren’t on duty picking up and delivering their passengers safely. These behind the scene jobs are important to any school, and now we give our praise to those unrecognized of MHS. MHS students. Spending many hours behind the wheel of MHS buses are bus drivers, T. A. Bigger, Cecil Duncan, Dick Rutledge, Grady Nabors, Melvin Goodwin, France Roberts, Herb Hudgens, W. W. Bridgeman, Otis Evans, I. C. Cox, and Kenneth Burris.

VIHS has just such a body in its faculty. Not only do these teachers take an interest in our studies, they also give up many hours of their time to be class sponsors and club sponsors. A great responsibility rests in their hands. Through their efforts and the efforts of students a much better student-teacher relationship has developed. Mr. Garry Jones Biology; Athletics Mrs. Chloe Sartin American History; World History Mrs. Billye Herndon Algebra; Plane Geometry Mr. Harley Ragland Mr. Llovd Skelton Industrial Arts Activities “Let's go hand in hand, not one before another —Shakespeare School activities can be pleasant for all con- cerned, especially if everyone has pitched in be- forehand. Selling tickets, putting up decorations, perhaps driving pedestrian friends to and from events—all of these help boost M.H.S.’s school unity. Many new and novel ideas have been born this year. Group and Club get-togethers, bake sales, a band magazine sale, and an all around calendar of school events, help create more interest in our school activities. School activities are what you make them, and the students of M.H.S. are making ours the very best. National Honor Society Works Toward the Betterment of Students NHS president, Jen Ann Jones, presents the order of business to vice-president, Thomas Rushing; secretary, Charles Sykes; treasurer, Pat Smith, and historian, Brenda Ford. Membership in the National Honor Society is granted to students who have shown outstanding evidence of citizen- ship, leadership, character, service, and scholarship. Although the students must maintain a solid “B” average at all times, this alone will not lead to mem- bership. The member must he out- standing in the other four qualities as well. NHS offers the student many ac- tivities during the school year. Bundle days, participation in state-wide NHS conventions, sponsorship of the annual Career Conference, and other activities complete the organization’s busy school calendar at Madill High School. Under the experienced leadership of Miss Mildred Holland and Mrs. Blanche Jewell, the members receive much benefit from the organization. First Row: Paula James.

SC Sponsored Ticket Sales to Promote School Spirit The twenty-two member MHS Student Council began the 1963-64 school year with an eagerness to serve the faculty, administration, and student body alike. Its goal was the betterment of the school. One of the Council’s major projects for the year was a March of Dimes Benefit during which re- freshments were sold and entertainment was pro- vided to the student body. The proceeds totaled $51.26. The annual Twirp Week was sponsored by the Council after which Kangaroo Court was held for the students who violated Twirp Week rules. Competition between the classes for support of the basketball team was sparked when the Student Council sponsored a ticket selling contest. The class which purchased the most tickets and attended the most games was honored at an all-school party. Student Council President Gary Bane raps a meeting to order as Vice-President Royce King, Secretary Bill Flanagan, and Treasurer Mike Huebsch observe.

Boosters Back Wildcat Team Spirit boosting projects were started long before the much rivaled Madill-Kingston basketball game as dem- onstrated by Pep Club officers, Carolyn Devin. Presi- dent; Lynda Bullard, Secretary «Treasurer; and Linda Allen, Vice-President. Wanda Rollins and Geneva Dodd boarded the Pep Club bus for a basketball game at the Southeastern Invitational Tournament at Durant with high expectations. MHS Pep Clubers did a very suc- cessful job of boosting the Wildcats again this year. Preparations were be- gun long before the school year started when, for the first time in several years. MHS cheerleaders went to summer cheerleading camp at SMU. These girls ami one alternate, Caiolvn Devin, did a wonderful job teaching the club many new veils and ideas to lxx st the school spirit. It has always beet} the Club's aim to give as much support as pos- sible to the athletes who represent MHS in various sports throughout the year. Fortunately, the goal was achieved.

I ouise Miller Sophomore Quetta Szenasi Junior Kathy Butler Junior Selecting appropriate plays and casts was always a challenge to Dramatic Club officers, Rick Parrish, Vice- President; Linda Dry, Secretary; Charles Sykes, Presi- dent; Carol Jester, Treasurer; and, seated, Lynda Bul- lard, Reporter. It was the duty of the Dra- matic Club to provide M.H.S. and the community with fresh new talent and entertainment. Much in terms of time and work had to be spent in order to be an active member of the club. The members spent many hours preparing for plays and contests, learning lines and sell- ing tickets for performances. During the year, members at- tended plays in the Texoma area and participated in various speech and drama events in the state. Drama for Education and Enjoyment First Row: V'. Kerr, M. Shilling. G.

In the two years of Spanish presently offered, major em- phasis is placed on speaking and understanding useful Spanish, as well as on de- veloping basic reading and writing skills. By sponsoring two fiestas, the Spanish Club has tried to develop in the language studies a better un- derstanding and appreciation of our Spanish heritage. First Row: C. Mahaney, M. Rood, V. Kerr, D.

FHA Promoted Domestic Skills The FHA Club combined its ambition to serve the school with its objective of training homemakers when members served at the FFA banquet. Further interest was shown by the attendance at the State FHA Convention at Oklahoma City. The Club’s most import- ant project was promoting FHA Week and spotlighting the pur- pose of FHA: to give girls an opportunity to develop skills and social graces. FHA officers, like club members, added sewing to their accomplishments. Standing: J. Colby, Parliamentarian; V. Roundtree, Treasurer; S. Stevenson, Historian; S. Scribner, Vice-President; P.

Modern Agriculture Asset to Advisor Bill Stevenson, President Stan Stanley, and Vice-President Thomas Rushing confer with Mr. R. VV. Colvert about the FFA Week advertisement that appeared on Colvert milk cartons. The Madill Chapter of the Future Farmers of America was recognized this year as one of the more dynamic organi- zations at MHS. Under the guidance of the chapter’s advisor, Mr. Bill Stevenson, many educational activities were offered to the membership. Trips to Kansas City, Stillwater, Oklahoma City, Dallas, and Fort Worth highlighted the year’s events. The FFA members also participated in the annual FFA Rodeo, Fort Worth Fat Stock Show, and the Marshall County Fair. As can be seen on these pages, the organization’s philosophy suggests that students learn by doing. Whether the ac- tivity takes place in the welding shop, on the farm, or in the regular classroom, students work both physically and in- tellectually at the endeavor. Mr. Steven- son knows that only through this type ot discipline can the Space Age agriculture student meet the demands and responsi- bilities thrust upon him. FFA officers, Larry Williford, Secre- tary; Stan Stanley, President; Thomas Rushing, Vice-President; Royce King, Reporter; and James Pruitt, Sentinel, provide capable leadership today while preparing to lead tomorrow. Space Age America Stan Stanley, FFA President, demonstrates one of the many phases of FFA while welding farm equipment. t I Delegates to the FFA National Convention in Kansas City, Missouri, were selected for their leadership and rapid progress in the chapter. They were: George French, Darrell Stowers, Ran- dol Seboum, Burl McBeth, Bill Stevenson (Advisor), Johnny Harris, James Pruitt, Thomas Rushing, and Warren Garrison.

Quill and Scroll Honors Outstanding Journalists Veda Kerr, treasurer; Ann Beard, sec- retary; Lynda Bullard, vice-president, and Sue Wilson, president, look over the chap- ter charter. Quill and Scroll is the International Honorary Society for High School Journalists. Membership is a distinct honor and is reserved for those out- standing publications staff members who meet the basic requirements es- tablished by the Society and Local Chapter. Candidates for Quill and Scroll membership must have demon- strated fully to the satisfaction of their staff adviser or the school principal that they merit the award through high scholarship, journalistic achievement and service. FJA— Classwork Today a Profession Tomorrow Tlie Future Journalists of America is a national organization which was in- stalled at Madill High School in 1962. Its membership is composed of mem- bers of the journalism class who have shown a professional interest in some phase of journalism. Included in the annual F.J.A. events are the state con- vention at University of Oklahoma and representation at the annual Oklahoma Interscholastic Press Association con- vention. In the spring the organization will hold a dinner meeting in honor of newspaper, annual and radio staffs. The organization’s sponsor is Mr. Jim Landt. Leadership for F.J.A. is provided by Gary Bane, president; Charles Sykes, vice-president; and Phyllis Bartee, treasurer. Secretary Linda Dry is not pictured.

Checking out books was always a pleasure at MHS when students were aided by these ef- ficient Library Club officers: Donna Bumpass, Secretary; Shannon Stevenson, Vice-President; and Pat Smith, President. Books are life's greatest treasures and this axiom is certainly a truth at MHS. Daily students used the library for research and enjoyment. Always on hand were our librarians, ready to assist in making book selections. The MHS library was not all dull and dusty shelves of books. Members of the Li- brary Club did a superb job of creating a gay and friendly atmosphere for read- ing and study with bright posters, bul- letin boards, and displays to encourage better reading habits and library man- ners.

Making 1963-64 a never-to-be-for- gotten year for M.H.S. students was the objective of the 10-member Wildcat staff. In addition to spending many hours after school completing each page of the 110-page book, the staff promoted Wildcat sales, sold advertising to local merchants, and sponsored the Wildcat King and Queen contest. With each person doing his specific job and with the help of Jim Landt, advisor, the staff put out the largest yearbook ever published at M.H.S. Yearbook Business Manager Gary Bane sold over $1,000 of yearbook advertising. Bookkeeping was quite a chore for Editor Sue Wilson as the monev rolled in for the Wildcat account. Newspaper staff members brightened a little boy’s Christmas with toys they had purchased. Phyllis Bartee, Jana Hewitt. Lvnda Bullard. Brenda Ford, Ronnie Taylor, and Carolyn Miller collected the toys for delivery. “Go out and get the story! Somebody type it up! We’ve got to get the paper out before Monday’s deadline!’’ These were some of the cries heard every week by the newspaper staff as they put out the Wild- cat news section. Under the supervision of Judy Joins, the Wildcat proved to be in- formative, entertaining, and a guide to the important happenings of the school. The ten-member newspaper staff proved again and again their capabilities as journalists as weekly the Wildcat rolled off the press. Newspaper Kept MHS Informed riling and rewriting MHS news was always the immediate objective of the newspaper staff.

Editor; Carolyn Miller, Editor; Charles Sykes, Photographer, and Jana Hewitt. Small though the radio staff was, the job it performed was difficult and well done. Evidence of the consistent work of its members could be heard daily as they pre- sented the news of MHS over KMAD’s “Live Wire.” Often, unless townspeople are di- rectly connected with the school, they lose out on news of its activi- ties. Not so with Madill’s high school. In addition to “Live Wire,' the radio staff conducted “Perspec- tive ’63-’64,” a weeklv program fo- cused on the different organiza- tions and functions of MHS. Due to their effort the public was well informed on the Madill youth’s ac- tivities. Many untold after-school hours were spent by “Per- spective ’63-’64” co-ordinators in preparation for the weekly radio program. Mrs. Katy Rood, Mr. Jim Landt, RuAna Sartin, Mrs. Lula Bolin, and Nancy Wagner taped and re-taped to achieve perfection.

The or- ganization represents the high school throughout the state with its performances in con- cert and marching contests, half-time activities at football games, and various programs. It was especially well repre- sented this year by All-District members Bill Flanagan, Roger Finkle and Judy Colby. Bill also achieved the high honor of All-State Band membership. Director Joel P. Johnson brings the band to attention during a rehearsal of concert selections. Bill Flanagan, senior, drum ma- jor, led the Madill W’ildcat Band through two consecutive marching seasons.

Although public performance is an im- portant aspect in class presentation, em- phasis is also placed on the mechanics and fundamentals of good singing. Mr. Jim Landt, MHS music teacher, stresses these points and works constantly toward musical growth. ous musical activities. Highlights of the year for the choir included participation in the Southeastern State College Vocal Music Festival and District and State Vocal Music Contests.

Royalty . . for beauty lives with kindness.” —Shakespeare Proms and plays have come and gone since 1902; our Kings and Queens have danced their last dance, and then it’s suddenly over--the dances we went to, the parties we had. The crowns are placed on the shelf, the flowers placed between the leaf- lets of books, and the formal clothes tucked in a far part of the closet. But the memories remain. The night Miss-----was crowned 1963 Footbali Queen; the selection of 1964 Yearbook King; and the many attendants who escorted our royalty. These moments will remain even when our royal Wildcats leave their throne for the last time. MISS MHS MARY LOU JONES -Vjitionml l.rmgur Bmmcbmll 6'7uJ) of • uitec.

I am certain that each is a fine example of the best traditions of your school and that each deserves the honor. So, slong with my vote for Senior John Prance, I am sending along my congratulations on being nominated to the other candidates. Since I was given this opportunity to express myself, I would like to tell your entire student body how rewarding it has been to me to represent the state of Oklahoma throughout my career. I have found — from Washington, D.C. to Tokyo, Japan — that there are warm, friendly people everywhere representing our wonderful home state. As all of you begin your varied careers, I know you will have the ssme inspiring experience. Phyllis Benton Donna Bumpass Squeegie Moore Coronation Highlights Football Season Football was the magic word, but the enchantment wasn’t confined to the game itself. The greatest excitement came when Miss Phyllis Benton received her title of 1963 Football Queen. Many untold hours led up to the an- nouncement of the queen. Selections for queen candidates were made by the foot- ball team. Then the race was on—season tickets were sold—the announcement of the winner was made final. A total of $1232.00 from the sales was added to the athletic fund. Then the night came when the queen and her procession took their place under the royal arch. Attended by Donna Bum- pass, junior, and Squeegie Moore, sopho- more, Phyllis received her traditional kiss and gold helmet. She then began her reign over Madill-Marietta Homecoming Game. Janis Howell Jamie Dowdy Lynda Bullard Concert Sets Stage for Accent on Beauty Music is often centered around beauty, and MHS band added their touch of beauty to our royalty section by naming Miss Lynda Bullard 1964 Band Queen. The band didn’t stop with one lovely co-ed, for Miss Bullard was attended by Miss Janis Howell, escorted by Bill Flanagan, and Miss Jamie Dowdy, escorted by Ronald Beard, all seniors. The queen and her attendants were selected by popular vote among bandsmen. Crowning took place at the Annual Spring Band Concert. The queen graciously received her crown, kiss and bouquet of flowers from band president Ronnie Taylor. Her court took its place in the Springtime setting as Miss Bullard began her reign. Kathy Butler Virginia Roundtree Lynda Bullard FFA Favorite Crowned Sweetheart Madill’s Future Farmers of America added their' sweetheart to the list of sweethearts for the state of Oklahoma. She was selected from a group of MHS beauties and after final voting. Miss Virginia Roundtree was crowned 1963 FFA Sweetheart. The Annual FFA Parent-Son Banquet in April, 1963, was the site of the royal corona- tion. Attended by Miss Lynda Bullard, senior, and Miss Kathy Butler, junior. Miss Round- tree received her crown and began her reign as the Madill Chapter of Future Farmers of America Sweetheart. Now it was her duty to represent the chap- ter at the various activities of FFA through- out the year. Virginia attended the Texas State Fair and rode in the yearly FFA Rodeo parade. Her duties were many and she rep- resented her community and chapter as one of the finest FFA Sweethearts in the state. Judy Hawkins Janis Howell Cathie Ballard FFA Queen Mounted Throne Taking her place among the other royal queens at MHS was Miss Judy Hawkins, FFA Rodeo Queen. The royal cowgirl rode range on Marshall County' selling tickets to the Annual Spring FFA Rodeo. She and the other candidates competed for the right to reign over the western round-up as the ticket sales mounted. Finally the sales were tabulated and Miss Hawkins was declared queen. Attended by Janis Howell and Cathie Ballard, she received her title and began her reign under the open sky and glitter- ing lights of the rodeo arena. Carolyn Miller Reina Crowned at Fiesta Voting by the Spanish Club named Miss Carolyn Miller 1964 Spanish Queen. Preparation for the royal coronation as begun soon after the voting results were determined. Miss Miller and her attendants, Charlene McCain, Ann Beard, and Sandra Petty, worked with the club in planning the queen’s procession and coro- nation that highlighted the Spanish Club Fiesta held in the spring. Charlene McCain Sandra Petty A pageant of beauty and brawn made the 1964 Football Queen Coronation a mem- orable affair.

Sports time like this demands strong minds, great hearts . . . and ready hands . . —John Gilbert Holland Many elements go into the make-up of a top flight athletic program. Leadership and sportsman- ship are as much a part of a boy’s physical develop- ment as natural physical ability. An athletic de- partment that stresses the slogan, It's not whether you win or lose that counts, but how vou play the game,” is an asset to any school. The Madill Wildcats, under the guiding hands of our fine coaches, offer this high school and state possibly the best example of how a physical educa- tion and sports program should be developed. For all the hard work and time our athletes gave, we thank them, and for upholding the honor of Madill High School for the school year 1963-64. Three Wildcat seniors, Da- vid Flint, Larry Qualls and Thomas Rushing, were se- lected for the 5-B All-Dis- trict and All-Conference. Injuries, Bad Luck Trip Assistant Coach Garrv Jones and Head Coach Duane Reed believed that football was a game of strength and skill based on a technical understanding of each play. With the return of 12 seniors, the Wild- cat squad began early preparations for a rugged and highly competitive schedule. With praising pre-season predictions the team showed plenty of potential in their first four games. Then the Cats seemed to be hit by a continuous epidemic of minor injuries and bad luck. The lack of replacements was always a threat, but strong determination and never-ending spirit was forever present. During the Purcell, Tishomingo and Sul- phur games, this determination and spirit was apparent, especially when they held Purcell to only a two-point victory. Ending the season with a 3-7-1 record, the real story was not told in the statistics. The season was a test of stamina and endurance for the Cats. Coach Reed did a wonderful job giv- ing his juniors and sophomores plenty of the experience needed for a fine team in the years to come in spite of mostly senior starters.

Opening practice late in Novem- ber, the Wildcats worked hard to gain the polish needed in basket- ball. Some of that polish came from the returning members of last%year’s squad: Larry Qualls, Ricky Hart, Thomas Rushing, Keith Long, and Eddie Stafford. The rest and most important polish came from hard work. Working during holidays and vacations, the Wildcats utilized every practical moment. In preparing for conference com- petition, the Cats played 15 non- conference games, winning 6 and losing 9. As the conference games rolled past, luck abandoned the Wildcats, for when the statistics had been checked MHS lost 6 con- ference games and won 2, coming out with an 8-15 season for 1963-64.

Spring Brought Out Wildcat Tracksters Getting a jump on the weather, the Wildcat track team started practice early in March while the weather was still chilly. Practicing after school, the Cats showed power and speed for a fine ’64 season. The track field came to life with activities of Cline Johnson proved to be high point man for the Wildcats in more than one event. getting into condition. Mainstays for the Cat squad were Jim Williams, Cline Johnson, Eddie Stafford. Howard Wilson and LaFair Hebert. These capable tracksters gave Coach Duane Reed justification for his fine ’64 track season . High hurdles failed to stop Eddie Stafford in his drive to the finish line. ■ • m ii LaFair Hebert, Jim Williams, Howard Wilson, and Cline Johnson ran one of the relays for the Wildcats. These four, Cline Johnson, LaFair Hebert, Jim Williams, and Eddie Stafford, gave MHS those needed points to place First at the Idabel Little Dixie Relays and brought the season’s first trophy. Broad jumper Terry May stretched to add those extra few inches that make a winner. Sprinter Jim Williams awaited for the word “go” and a chance to add another medal to his already large collection. Classes “For I dipped into the future and saw all the wonders that would be . . —Alfred Lord Tennyson Life is before you as you leave your school. This is your school. Here is the campus you walked across—the steps you hurried up to meet your friends —the corners where you gathered to hear the latest gossip, or meet your latest infatuation. Here are the halls. These are the halls you walked through, talking about Friday’s football game—or Wednesday’s test. The classrooms you studied in—the desks you slept in—the windows you stared longingly out of. This is where—your dreams were born and made. Where old friends were found and then lost again as the years moved on. Here you met the challenge of the future and conquered it. Here you waited for the results of scholarship tests—for grade cards—for college acceptance letters. Anri here you laughed at crazy jokes—studied for tests—cut classes —kept conferences—and went to pep rallies. Your laughter and tears will ring out across the ages, never to be forgotten by any of us. The games you won and lost. The people you met. The friends you won—the things you learned—the Senior assembly you wept through. All this brought up to the end, and yet the beginning of life. Life is before you, and M.H.S. is behind you.

It is here that much of the formative crea- tion of the future adult takes place. Under the guid- ance of the teachers and administrators, the students meet and conquer many of the realities of life itself. Students of Madill Junior High School work under the direction of many competent teachers, who constantly work to improve their professional methods and standards. Under this guidance the students continue their personal growth toward ma- turity. The Madill Junior High School faculty and ad- ministrators recognize that growth means mans things other than books, lessons, and blackboards. They know that the well rounded student must have experience in many activities. The students in Junior High receive that experience as they travel through their three years at Madill Junior High School. M Hard Work and Experience Are Important to the Principal's Role Ambition and determination mark the character of Mr. Don Hodge, M.J.H.S. principal. Mrs. Donna Bartee, Mr. Hodge’s sec- retary, greets all students and visitors with a cheerful smile. Mr. Don Hodge, Principal of Madill Junior High School, is a man who believes that each student is important. His years of experience have prepared him for this demanding role, and he meets the chal- lenge with understanding and courage. Al- though he has served as principal for only one year, he has gained the reputation in our community as a dynamic leader and educator. Mr. Hodge’s future looms large and fruitful. It is probable that as his ex- perience and abilities grow, those who come in contact with him will share this growth in many areas of endeavor.
