Family Festival High Point of Dads' Year l The Dads' Club officers have had a very suc- l cessful year. They are: John Stimson, Treasurer, I Gordon Messner, Vice President, Don Loghry, Sec- retary, and Dick Taylor, President. i l 1 l T l l The Dads' Club has had a very successful year. Starting with the Football season. they had several Dads patroling for con- trol purposes and seating problems. They helped the P. T. A. with their Pancake Breakfast which is the high point of the P. T. A. year. The Dads' Club sponsored the Father-Son Banquet of which 450 boys had a night out with Dad. The Dads' Club also sponsored the Father-Daughter Banquet in which over 500 girls ate dinner and enjoyed a fashion show, with their first love, Dad. The Dads' Club also sponsored the Japanese wres- tlers when they were here. From February 16, until the middle of April, the Dads' Club was busy with the building of the Madison Mad House, the main door prize drawing at the Family Festival May 3 and 4. The Family Festival is the biggest event of Madison's Dads. All the work that the Madison High Dads' Club has con- tributed has been for the purpose of scholarships for the out- going Seniors. There are six scholarships given and five Grants for Aid. The scholarships are worth 500, 300, and 200 dollars. The grants are worth 100 dollars. Each year the amount changes depending on the amount of money the Dads' Club makes during the year and the need of scholarships and grants. On May 31, the Dads' Club held the annual Dads' Club Honor Assembly in which many Seniors were awarded schol- arships, grants, and certificates of honor for the grade point average of four point. It is hard to believe that such a prominent organization as this only has 300 members. We would like to commend the Dads' Club on a job well done for 1963. Mr. Cyril Butterfield, Madison's Vice Principal, talks to o group of Dads' Club members at one of their Tuesday meetings. 14

J U DY ALMON Treasurer CHERYL MELCHER Historian Senior Qfficers Lead Class of '63 We, the members of the senior class, have taken part in the numerous activities offered in the school the past four years. Led by Mel Griffin, our freshman year was very prosperous. In February our class held our first class party. With the theme Little Bit of New Orleans , it successfully drew over three hundred class members. The fun started with dancing and games followed by a spaghetti feed. Later in the evening we attended the basketball game. With Tom Waugh as our leader our sophomore year, we were able to continue our exciting time at Madison. The year began with the Sophomore Sock Hop . Later in the year we had a joint Sophomore-Freshman Talent Assembly. The assembly was very successful and was repeated for the P.T.A. Ron Lucas led our class in our third year at Madison. In November we held our class party called the Mystery Mix . The evening began with a dinner followed by attending the school play, Speaking of Murder , with a dance afterward. The naut- ical myth of King Neptune, ruler of the depths, was used as the theme for the annual spring formal sponsored by our class. King Neptune's Ball was a complete success and everyone had fun planning this big dance. Our final year at Madison was led by Pete Martindale. This year began with a reception for all the new students. At the end of the football season a football queen' was selected from our class. During the basketball season we sponsored two aftergame dances. Also, the seniors challenged the faculty to a basketball game. The traditional Senior Week was held in April along with the senior assembly at the end of this week. These are just a few memories which our fellow classmates will treasure from their high school days at James Madison High School.
