Unfortunately, almost half of our members decided they would not continue school, leaving only 27 in our class at present. Our Freshman year was filled with trials and hardships, such is the room of all Freshman, because we were unaccustomed to the dignified ways and actions of High School students. Our Sophomore year was uneventful, but we were climbing ever nearer to our goal, to be a ‘Senior. In our Junior year we were known as a Peppy class, but nevertheless our heads were cool, for now we realized what our responsibilities really were. The Junior year is merely a sample of what the Senior year will be. As Seniors we are very busy, but we haven’t lost any of our pep because our ambition now is to publish an annual that everyone will be proud of. Of course, we are anxious, in a way, to graduate, but that will mean we must leave our dear old school forever. All through our stay in the Madison High School our boys have held active places in athletics, and the entire class has alwrays taken its part in the school activities. We have willingly given a helping hand to all who have needed our advice and services. During these four years we have put forth untiring efforts to prepare ourselves for the positions we shall hold in the business world. It is with great reluctance that we, the class of 1925, bid adieu to our beloved classmates, the faculty, and our career in the dear old Madison High. ELIZABETH ECKOFF.

During the first month we were given a hike by the upper classmen; on this hike we were initiated, thus becoming regular members of the M. H. S. The remainder of our first semester was devoted to getting used to the ways and regulations in school. Our last half of the Freshman year we settled down and worked hard to get our credits. Our Sophomore year was very much like the first one, only we could now kid the Greenies. AVhen we re-entered M. H. S. for our second year we had an enrollment of only 48 students. We spent most of our time in getting our work, so that we could become Juniors the next year. This year when we enrolled for our school work we had only 26 mem- bers of our original class with us. In January we gave a moving picture show at the Madison Theatre, which was a great success. In fact, we have had a very successful Junior year, and are now looking forward to the time when we will become Seniors, as dignified and distinguished looking as those who are Seniors now. Our class officers are: George Lybarger, President; Vestal Goode, Vice-President; Joseph Richardson, Secretary and Treasurer. RALPH McBRIAN. Page Thirty - Page Thirty-two SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY In the year 1923, the halls and classrooms of Madison High School were brightened by the eager faces of fifty-two Freshmen. Our first great event was a class meeting, in which the honor of being president fell upon Leonard Eaton, vice-president, Lee Bonville; secretary, Cleda Stein, and treasurer, Georgia Drew. On November the second, we surprised the three upper classes by giving them a Halloween Party. Besides giving this party, the class as a whole did little the first semester except occupy the seats and make fun of the honorable Seniors. Still, we all proved to be a success, for very few flunked in the examina- tions which were given at the close of the term. VFhen we entered the second semester we were full of life and ready for action. Several of our members took part in the literary programs given by the Forum and Olympian Societies. Having gained in wisdom, we climbed to our Sophomore year with an enrollment of twenty-nine, leaving very few behind. We are expecting to make progress this year and the succeeding ones. Page Thirty-three THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT At the beginning of the school last September, the Commercial Depart- ment found that there was an over-crowded condition and a shortage of equip- ment. There was a total enrollment of forty-five students, twenty Seniors and twenty-five Juniors. By the first of October, the Board of Education fur- nished us with four new Remington typewriters, making a total of seventeen machines. The department was then moved to a larger room. The work to be accomplished by a stenographic student requires many hours of patient practice and perseverance. Every successful student has paid the price for his success in hours of hard work. The time that any student has to devote to practice is limited by the fact that he is carrying at least three other heavy courses which require study and preparation. In view of thi£ fact, the faculty and student body are proud of the accomplishments of these students. The typewriter companies co-operate with the schools by furnishing tests each month, and offering awards for various records in speed and accuracy, all of which serve as an incentive for the students. During the past year, there have been thirty 30-word certificates, twenty-seven 40-word pins, eight 50- word pins, four 5 5-word pins and one 60-word pin awarded our students. Our Seniors participated in one inter-scholastic contest this year, which was held at Benld. There were nine contestant schools; each school was allowed to enter three students in Shorthand and three in Typewriting. Our contestants won four of the eight prizes to be awarded. Raleigh Phipps rep- resented us in both contests and received second place in each, the awards being silver medals. Glenn McClatchey received a bronze medal for ranking third in the Typewriting contest, and Herman Megeff received a ribbon for fourth place in the Shorthand contest. We believe our department will continue to grow and be successful be- cause our students are persevering and ambitious, and there is hearty co-opera- tion between students and teacher, all of which points toward SUCCESS. Page Thirty-four FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY When we Freshmen entered the Madison High School, we were met with the reception that usually greets all Freshmen. We looked the part, and acted, as was stated by other students, greener than grass. Walking through the spacious corridors with eyes popping and mouth wide open, we gazed into every room we passed as though it were one of the wonders of the world. As this was the first day of school, the halls were mostly filled with Seniors, the Great and Mighty Seniors, who now have their chance to act the part of rulers over the rest of the student body. We were met by many former Freshmen who, in calling us “greenie and freshie, se- cured to their heart s content, revenge for the comedy that was made of them the preceding year. We entered the assembly, which proved to be a room of extraordinary size, containing a stage and numerous seats. After we were seated, a bell suddenly rang, which made we Freshmen look up in surprise. The expression on our bewildered faces proved that we were slightly confused. When we were sent to our classrooms, other bells started ringing. Later on the principal explained to us the significance of each bell. Since we have now become accustomed to the ways and customs of High School, we have grown to like it far better each day than Grade School, from which we had just graduated. We sure expect this High School to be proud of the class of 28 before we graduate. There is nothing that is impossible. Page Thirty-five CHEMISTRY Eight pupils, seven Juniors, and one Senior, finally decided to brave the haunts, jungles and severe complexes of Chemistry. Several who wanted to take it got nervous and chilly when they found work to the uttermost in it a problem. Things were going in good shape until the Chapter on Gases, and Gas Pressure was encountered. Here the bewailing lack of mathematical knowl- edge was only too evident, but finally, after many twistings, turnings and squirmings, this was conquered. Next appeared on the scenes the troubles of the little innocent fellows. Molecules and atoms and their following mysteries. Again mathematics and the lack of it became evident on the eve of the great battle with Symbols, Equations and Calculations. Here the foundation of Chemistry tottered, but several unable to stand the strain went under, falling along the wayside. Finally direct came the real side of Chemistry, covering Nitrogen, Oxy- gen, Phosphorus, Sulphur, Chlorine, Iron, Bromine, Potassium, Sodium and their cousins, Compounds. A very amusing incident was the discovery on the part of the students of families in Chemistry. After a short consultation with the great periodic table of Mendelejeff, they saw the truth of family resemblance. Chemistry has been quite a success, and so the finish of another year is here. Page Thirty-six Page Thirty-eight BASKETBALL, 1924-25 The Basketball season of 1924-25 has been the most remarkable suc- cess for the Green and White boys in the history of Madison High School. Their success was due to their faithful and hard practice. The boys went into a game with the “Never Say Die” spirit, kept themselves in the best of condi- tion, and deserved to win. The team was famous for its wonderful offense and passing combination. The team will go down in history for its impenetrable five-man defense. The smooth work of this combination, with its sweeping attack and the deadly shooting of its players, was one of the greatest features in the State of Illinois, and a tribute to its great coach, Rohe. It was this encouragement and manage- ment that made the boys play a clean and fast game. The loyal fans of the town were a great factor in making our team a win- ning one. Also the encouragement given by Mr. Stice and Mr. Winsor. The two forward positions were held down in great style by Elmer Noo- nan and Georfe Steinger; Steve Maeras showed himself to be fast at center, while two better guards than Paul Harshany and Jake Rydgig could not be found. Our utility men, who made the regulars play to keep their places, were Jewell Gregg, Lee Bonville and Sam Harshany. This team has played three years together, while three of the players have played four years together. This was one of the fine factors in their team work. Madison barely nosed out Pocahontas in a hard fought game. However, our two regular forwards were away on a trip to the University of Illinois. The final score was 12-1 1. We journeyed to Woodriver and played them an exciting game. How- ever, if we would have made half of our shots, the game would have been a walk-away. We had to be satisfied with a one-point lead at the end of the game, the score being 13-12. We journeyed to St. Louis to play the strong Central High School team, who were the champions of the High School League for the last three years. Central had not lost a game previous to playing us, but they met their jinx by playing Madison. We had not lost a game this season, and this was our eleventh game. The first half our players could not miss and we led, I 5-2. The second half they spurted, but they could not overtake us, and we went home with another well-earned victory, the score being 22-1 7. Page Thirty-nine After winning seventeen straight games and not being defeated, we jour- neyed to St. Louis to play the strong Cleveland High School team. We were somewhat slow, but nevertheless we led the first quarter, 6-0, and the second quarter, 9-3. The second half we were ‘'off and Cleveland came back and tied the score at 13-1 3. With but a minute to go, we made a shot, making the score 13-13. However, with but 15 seconds to go, a Cleveland man made a basket, tying the score, as the game came to an end. It was then necessary to play a five minute overtime period. As the game went ahead the lights went out. Cleveland wanted to go ahead and play the game, and as we were good sports, we agreed to do so, which was a big mistake on our part. They made four baskets in the dark, while we did not score a point; thus we lost the game. On our third invasion of St. Louis we played the strong Soldan High School team, who were tied for first place in the High School League, at the time we played them. They were dazzled by our short, snappy passes, and they could not succeed in getting by our five-man defense. The first half ended with us leading, 9-2. They came back in the third quarter, but the fourth quarter we stepped away from them and won the game, 17-10. For our twenty-first game of the season we journeyed to Jerseyville. Pre- viously to playing us, Jerseyville had lost but one game. However, when our game was over they had lost two games. The first half was exciting, as the score was 6-8 in their favor. The second half the Madison fighting spirit was up, so we made 14 points while they made 2. The final score was 20-10 in our favor. We journeyed to Granite City, our next-door neighbors, and played them a fast game. The first half ended 1 9-0 in our favor. The second half we slowed down and they made a few points, the final score being 36-1 I in our favor. For our fourth invasion of St. Louis we played the Roosevelt High School, formerly the McKinley High School. This team defeated the Cleveland High School, the team that had handed us our first defeat. The first half of the game was a see-saw affair, but when the half ended, we were leading, Q-7. The last half they could not penetrate our five-man defense, and they scored two points while we were scoring twelve. The final score was 21-9 in our favor. Page Forty PERSONAL RECORDS NOONAN, ELMER (Captain) : A steady sticker and a dead shot from all angles of the floor. His work as a forward made him an invaluable asset to the team.

In our first game were paired with Brighton. Having defeated Brighton two times this year, it was expected that Madi- son would walk away with Brighton. All of the papers had it doped out that Madison would win the tournament with ease. But as it goes, there is always a big upset, and this upset was the defeat handed Madison by a score of 12-11. Time after time we missed easy shots, while Brighton seemed to have luck with long shots, which beat us. This was our first defeat handed us in Illinois. MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TOURNAMENT WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. ST. LOUIS, MO. We entered the Washington University tournament expecting to have better luck than we had at the previous tournament. We were paired with Western Military Academy, of Alton, for our first game. They were the de- fending champions, as they won the Washington U. tournament last year. Still, we were doped to beat Western, but “Lady Luck” failed us once more. We led the Cadets the first, second and third quarters. We surpassed them in pass work, and had them guessing all the time, but our weakness was in missing the short shots under the basket. Going into the last quarter, they gained a six point advantage on us. But with two minutes to go, one of our players was awarded two charity shots. He made the two points, and we were behind by four points. However, when play was resumed this same player made two long shots and tied the score. With 1 5 seconds to go, a charity shot was awarded one of our players, but he missed the shot as the whistle blew, bringing the game to an end. As the score was tied, it was necessary to play an overtime period. Western made two points, while Madison made one, thus we lost by a score of 22-20.

Prospects for a good team were very bright because of the good players going to school who had experience in baseball. We started with a spurt, and did not stop until the season had ended, thus leaving us first place and the cup. With but two weeks to go, we were trail- ing in third place, but all hope was not given up. By some superior playing we came up to first place and stayed there. It was in this way that we won the Leacock trophy and the Southwestern trophy. We opened up our first game against Mascoutah at Madison. This was a well played game, and the score ended in our favor, 3-2. The next week we were caught in a slump, and lost to Belleville and Col- linsville by the scores of 1 0-9 and 9-3. After these two defeats we went to Woodriver and defeated them to the tune of 22-1 4. Alton next came down for a visit, and they were defeated, 12-10. The following week we took a trip to Mascoutah and took them into camp by a score of 13-11. After the Mascoutah game we journeyed to Collinsville, and were lead- ing, 4-0, in the second inning, when the game was called on account of rain. Then came the most eventful week of the season. We went to Belleville to play cur old rivals in basketball. They had beaten us for the “Southwest- Page Forty-six ern” basketball trophy, and also defeated us in baseball earlier in the season. They were now tied with us for first place, and a victory meant the champion- ship for us. Belleville came out on the field expecting to trim Madison, but the sur- prise came. For when the driving, slashing attack of the Madisonians had subsided, the score stood 20-2 in favor of Madison. The next day we celebrated the Belleville victory by defeating Woodriver at Madison by a score of 1 8-5. The following week we journeyed to Alton and defeated them in ten innings, 8-5. The last game of the season was played with Granite City at Madison, and they fell before us by a score of 7-3.

Joe Richardson Steve Maeras____ Page Forty-eight Double M Double M Double M PROPHECY The rushing confusion of the past week had at last reached its climax, the reading of my husband’s will. As 1 stumbled, half-dazed, down the steps of the attorney’s office, I tried to analyse the situation into which I had just been placed, but to no avail. Upon reaching my car I listlessly bade the chauffeur drive me home. Home! I now knew the real meaning of that word, now that 1 no longer possessed one. A bride and a widow all in one year; that is how fate had dealt with me. I was not only a widow, but, as my husband's attorney had explained, 1 was likewise a penniless one. The next morning I boarded a train for New York, leaving behind me my past life, which seemed to me but a fantastical dream. 1 little knew what my intentions were when I arrived in New York, but the one thing that I did know what that 1 would be forced to find employment. After gazing out of the window for about thirty minutes, I decided to amuse myself by studying the occupants of my coach. My attention was immediately drawn to two figures occupying the seat across from me. The one thing that amused me mostly was that they seemed in such good spirits. 1 seemed for a moment to forget my own sorrow as 1 watched the bobbing of their heads as they demonstrated their conversation to each other. Just then the girl sitting nearest me removed her hat, displaying one mass of shortly cropped curls and at the same time turning her head slightly toward me. To my utter surprise, 1 recognized her to be none other than my old friend, Mable Everett. At once they were both beside me, both of my old school friends, Mable Everett and Sara Schermer. But, oh! what a change they had undergone. The one thing that I particularly noticed was the fact that they were both so cleverly dressed. I learned that they were finishing a three-year contract with Ziegfield Follies. I obtained from them the address of a firm on Wall Street where they thought I might find employment. Soon they reached their destination and bade me a hasty good-bye, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I then remembered the address which they had given me, but when I noticed that it was on Wall Street, I was intensely frightened. 1 began to wonder how much knowledge of secretarial work I still retained. It was then that I remembered the old typewriting room at the M. H. S., and my teacher. Miss Michel, who could assist me so much now if she were only available. Walking up the steps of one of the largest commercial buildings of New York, I was greatly frightened, and if it had not been for my lack of funds, I believe I would have turned back. Page Forty-nine I was now in a luxurious waiting room gazing at a closed door. At last the door opened and out stepped two very distinguished looking gentlemen. As they turned, all my fears left me, as I recognized Raleigh Phipps and John Schooley. There is no use trying to describe our meeting. I learned that John and Raleigh were successful brokers, and after a lengthy conversation I remembered my mission. 1 was immediately employed as a private secretary to the Schooley and Phipps Brokerage Company. I also received an invita- tion from John to dine at his home that evening. On the way to John’s residence I learned that he was a happily married man, and that Raleigh was a carefree bachelor. When we arrived at our desti- nation I was ushered into a magnificently furnished drawing room, by a stately butler, while John went in search of his wife, whom 1 was indeed anxious to meet. The room was dimly lighted, but illuminated sufficiently that I did not fail to see approaching me, what I thought to be the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Without waiting for an introduction, she grabbed me in her arms and I remembered that familiarity that had first attracted me, my old classmate, Edna Zentgraf. 1 at once remarked how wonderful that a school boy and girl love affair could have grown to such a union. 1 was then introduced to John Junior, a tiny tot of four summers. I had been with this Brokerage Company about a year when one day Raleigh called me into his office and told me that he had just received a letter that would necessitate his being absent from New York for some time, on a business transaction. During my employment, John and Raleigh had taken me into their confidence a great deal, so I was not surprised at his telling me this; but I was surprised when he asked me to go in his stead. Following his instructions, 1 was on my way to Florida the next week. One day during my recreation hours, 1 decided to go down to the beach. 1 was especially attracted by a motion picture company about to make a scene. I sat down a few hundred yards away and prepared to make myself comfort- able, when about twenty of the most beautiful girls appeared, all in conspicu- ous colored bathing suits. I at first satisfied my curiosity by telling myself that it was Mack Sennet and his bathing beauties, but then I remembered reading that Mack Sennet had retired. As the camera was being adjusted, my attention was focused on it; there 1 read the inscription, “MAC CLATCHEY'S BATHING BEAUTIES.” The next moment I was beside Glenn himself, and I learned from him that Olive Waggoner, Mildred Bax and Lillie Dugan were in his troupe. As they approached, 1 gasped in surprise, because they fully deserved the name, BEAUTIES.” Page Fifty As I stood there surrounded by twenty bathing beauties, the thought struck me that if Raleigh had known of this pleasure, he would have never sent me as a substitute. That night I chanced to pick up an evening paper and glancing in the society news, a big headline met my eyes. Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt had returned from abroad. This news item did not interest me, but a picture that accom- panied it did. Were my eyes deceiving me, or was 1 really looking into the eyes of my old chum, Irene Smith? Yes, there she was. I immediately de- cided to look her up the next day. When I saw Irene I was surprised beyond words. She was no longer our little Irene of the old Madison High School, but she had grown to be a tall, stately looking lady, entirely surrounded by luxury. I met her husband, who proved to be none other than the millionaire I had so often read about. I learned from Irene that Nadene had married the Prince of Wales, and was now residing as Queen of England. Acting upon Irene's suggestion, which was more of a command, I had my trunks brought to her home. I learned from Irene that the old M. H. S. basketball team were to return the next day from the Olypiam games in France, bringing with them, for the third time, the world’s championship. She had likewise decided to give a dinner in their honor on the following evening. There is no use trying to describe Steve, Paul, Jake, George and Elmer, for they were just that same old gang, just as peppy and boyish as ever. The following day, while attending an art exhibit, where all the promi- nent artists of the day were to display their paintings, we noticed that the most popular paintings bore the inscription, (Edward Miller). I thought to myself that Eddie's artistic attempts, usually practiced in History class, were not altogether in vain. The next day I bade Irene good-bye and started on my journey, which was to take me this time to Salt Lake City. Arriving at my hotel, I began to prepare to make myself presentable for dinner. While thus engaged, I was greatly annoyed to find that someone had entered my suite of rooms. As it was just dusk, I could barely detect a silhouette of a well-dressed lady. As I entered the room she began to make an apology for having entered the wrong room. But no apology was necessary, as I recognized Oletta Cannon, of the class of '25. She had likewise recognized me, and we settled ourselves to a long conversation. I learned that Oletta was a designer, and had recently returned from Paris. I made an engagement with Oletta for that evening to see a movie. While on our way to the movie, I told Oletta of all our classmates I had met during my businsss trip. She then told me of her having met Elizabeth Eckoff in Germany, where she was being hailed as a great musician. By this time we had reached the movie. Page Fifty-one The first picture being Pathe News, I paid little attention until a well- known countenance was flashed before my eyes. ‘‘Richest Man in Salt Lake City. Busy Bee Stores known from Coast to Coast,’’ was the exclamatory sentence that followed the picture. It seemed as though from that moment on we lost interest in the picture, so we decided to locate Herman. This proved to be an easy task, as he was very well known. Soon I was standing before Herman, but oh! what a difference from the old Herman. He was a short, stout man, whose hair showed signs of gray at the temples, and his jovial face showed lines of sorrow, but as he smiled his old dimples still pierced his cheeks. I learned from Herman that his wife had recently divorced him, but I was introduced to his little daughter, whom I noticed he called Kathlyn. Having finished my business in Salt Lake City, I arranged to leave the next day for Chicago. Before boarding the train I purchased a paper, and was soon lost in its contents. I was not interested in politics, but knowing that the nominees for the Presidency were to be named, I scanned the front page. And at the same time, my eyes caught sight of a familiar image. Was I mistaken? No! Who could forget that old grin? I was looking directly into the eyes of Owen Darling. I then read the headline that accompanied it: “Darling Nominee for Presidency on Republican Ticket.” It came to me like a flash how many times Owen had boasted at school that he would some day be president of the United States; this boasting usually took place after discovering an additional FLUNKED marked on his report card. Being so very interested in reading of my old classmate’s good fortune, I believe I would have missed my train had not a man gently tapped me on the shoulder, thus bringing me back to earth. I jumped up and at the same time faced the man. Well, this was too much for one day, because I looked directly into the eyes of my classmate, Jewell Gregg. Having no time to talk, we both boarded the train. It was then that 1 learned that Jewell was an attorney and was at the present moment en route to Chicago. After discussing the topic that was now upmost in my mind, Jewell asked me all about myself. He became very interested when I told him how I had lost my husband’s fortune---so interested that he even made note of my attorney’s name. Jewell having traveled a good deal, told me that Ruth Mueller was at the present a missionary in Southern Africa. He also told me that if I visited St. Mary’s Hospital in Chicago I would meet the world's greatest physician, who was none other than our old Walter Stein. Page Fifty-two When I arrived in Chicago, the first thing that I did was to follow Jewell's suggestion. I was well repaid for my trouble, as I found Walter had grown to be almost dignified. Walter told me that Virginia Lynch and Genevieve Mc- Donald were both married and living in Chicago. As I was due in New York the following day, 1 did not have time to visit them, much to my regret. Upon my arrival in New York 1 immediately set forth to report to Raleigh the success of my trip, which proved to be both business and social. I began telling Raleigh about having met so many of our former school friends. Raleigh told me that he had another surprise for me, and opening the adjoining door, out stepped a beautifully gowned lady. She wore a wide brim hat, but even this did not hide the friendly smile that lightened her face. Raleigh introduced her to me as his wife. So this was the reason he could not leave New York, and little did I blame him . As we were just getting acquainted, we heard a dreadful noise and as the door swung open, who should enter but Jewell. He brought with him proofs that my attorney had swindled me out of my husband’s fortune. While waiting for my train, that would take me back home, who should I meet in the station but Francis North. I learned that she was a dean at a college in Southern Illinois, and was in New York on her vacation. After a long conversation, my train arrived, and 1 had to bid her good-bye. While on the train I thought over my travels of the previous year, and after counting over all my classmates, it proved that I had met, or heard of, the entire graduating class of '25. Sitting in my own home, with my servants ready to act at my command, 1 well understood why 1 should hold no malice in my heart for my attorney's unfaithfulness, as it was through this that 1 had gone out into the world and had met all of my former classmates.

HOW TO MAKE LOVE You take an ordinary kitchen stove. Leave it where it is standing. Then you beg, borrow or steal a full quart of rye. After you are ossified, you take two spoons full of flour, pour it into a water glass, then disturb it gently with a garden hose until it is quite damp. Immediately put on a pair of goloshes, and take two somersaults, after which you add two cakes of yeast, grain by grain, until the strawberries begin to assume their natural color. As soon as the coffee starts boiling, you take two glasses of goats' milk, and pour the tea into the wash tub, and leave it there until the postum gets cold. Then you open a jar of grape nuts. There s a reason. You take twelve pounds of potatoes, two apple pies, a pound of Roquefort cheese and twenty-four old door knobs. Lock them all in the kitchen. Set fire to the house, and then go downstairs into your favorite restaurant and order a blue plate dinner. Indi- gestion guaranteed. (Watch for tomorrow’s instructions on how to make yourself beautiful.) Page Fifty-five MANUAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT Although the Manual Training shop of the Madison High School is not ideal, and the equipment limits the course to bench-work, design, and mechan- ical drawing, it fulfills a definite and worth-while purpose. Our Public schools usually impress the need of mental exercise and devel- opment, except in athletics. Our Art schools develop the hands, but neglect the head. The Manual Training shop represents the desirable combination. The shop aims to teach the pupils to do better those activities that they will do anyway, and to teach these by means of material in itself worth while. Thirty boys have taken advantage of the opportunities offered in the bench work and mechanical drawing classes this year. Some excellent work has been done, and the pieces made include library tables, bookcases, stands, table lamps, stools, and many other valuable pieces of furniture. In the making of these pieces, the value of accuracy, neatness, and thoroughness has been upheld. In the mechanical drawing classes the essentials of drafting were studied in correlation with elementary machine and architectural design. Many fine drawings, tracings, and blue prints were made. Page Fifty-six ■ THE FORUM LITERARY SOCIETY The first literary society in Madison was formed in 1905. Due to the small enrollment of the High School, only one society was organized. It was not until 1913 that two societies were organized. These were named the Forum and Olympian, and these names have never been changed. Regular meetings were held every year until 1918, when, on account of the various activities connected with the World War, the meetings were discontinued until 1919. The Forum Society, which is composed of the Seniors and the Freshies, was reorganized early in Octobr. The following officers were elected: Presi- dent, Paul Harshany; Vice-President, Elmer Noonan; Secretary and Treasurer, George Steinger. The faculty arranged a schedule for the year, and the presi- dent appointed a program committee. The Forum Society held the first of their three scheduled programs late in October. The second was a Christmas program. At this time a very appropriate program was rendered, the feature number being a one-act play, “Her Christmas Hat. The third was given in the latter part of March. It is our desire that the good work of the society will be carried on through the years to come. Page Fifty-eight THE OLYMPIAN SOCIETY The Olympian Society, although not as old a society as the Forum, is proud of its record. The first Olympian Society was organized in the fall of 1913. It was the continuation of a former society organized in the Harris Building in 1905. From its very beginning the society has deserved com- mendation for its work. The purpose of the lterary societies is primarily to instill into the student the appreciation of good literature, to give the student poise and ability and to address an audience. The Olympian Society was reorganized in October, and the following officers elected: President, George Lybarger; Vice-President, Joseph Rich- ardson; Secretary and Treasurer, Anna Braunsdorf. The Olympian Society, which is composed of the Juniors and the Sopho- mores, gave only two programs during the year. Their first program was given at Thanksgiving time. Their second and last program was held the latter part of February. Our anticipation is that the good work of this society will be continued next year. Page Fifty-nine SENIOR HISTORY CLUB Early in September, a History club was organized which was somewhat similar to that organized the previous year, and for the same purpose—to widen our knowledge of current topics. Under the supervision of Miss Graves, officers were elected and details were explained. Paul Harshany was chosen as secretary, and a new chairman was chosen for every meeting, thus giving every member of the class an oppor- tunity to show his skill of leadership. The program, which was given every Friday afternoon, was selected by Miss Graves. Very interesting and well prepared topics were given, after which discussion was usually given by some of the famous Senior orators. JUNIOR HISTORY CLUB A History Club was organized in the Junior Class, but, owing to the small number in this class, no officers were chosen. Topics were discussed from the Literary Digest by each member of the class Friday afternoon. The purpose of this club was to broaden the students’ knowledge of world-wide affairs. Miss Graves sponsored this club and helped to make it a success. Several members of this club were chosen to participate in the National Oratorical Contest. Their ability was therefore put to a test. ENGLISH CURRENT NEWS CLUB A club was organize in the two sections of the Freshman English Class to discuss topics in the ‘World News, a paper similar to the Literary Digest” and Current Events.” A new chairman and critic were chosen for each meeting, while the sec- retary served for a month. Page Sixty Interesting topics from the World News were assigned by the chairman to several members of the class, while the remainder of the class took part in the discussion following. At the close of the meeting, the Critic, also a mem- ber of the class, commented on the topics given, on the preparation, good English and grammar used, and the manner in which each was rendered. The advantage of having a Critic is that the student can profit by his mistakes, find out his shortcomings, and thus be able to give a better report, when called upon to do so. SOPHOMORE CLASS POEM We ure the Sophomores of ’25, The j oiliest class of the four, Our fun from the Seniors tec derive For nothing to us is a bore. Last year as Presides, it seemed The days would never pass, But a goal before us beamed To cheer each weary lass. This year we proved our colors With 28 enrolled. Students of courage and nerve we boast, And of many honors untold. Next year Juniors we hope to be, “Better Students” will be our aim, Tor once the exception do you see, Our knowledge increased but number the same. Fay Croach.

Ned loves Flossie Neversett, but intends to marry Kathleen for her money. While he was in college he contracted many debts. His debtors were pressing him for the money, so he tried to borrow it from Jimmy Stanton, who gave him all he had. This wasn’t enough, so he robbed Mr. Swindler’s safe. When the safe robbery was discovered they put Lem Undurduck on the case, but Mr. Flynn suspected Jimmy, and after being questioned, Jimmy was placed in jail. In the meantime, Ned and Kathleen announce their engage- ment. Arabella Wilkins had promised to marry the detective when he proved himself to be a hero by catching a real crook. On the night of the engagement party Arabella and the detective prove that Jimmy is innocent. When Ned sees that he is caught, he confesses and runs away.

Page Sixty-eight JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET, 1924 Tuesday evening, May 6th, 1924, the Junior class entertained the Seniors at a banquet and dance at the American Annex, in St. Louis. The Senior class colors, lavender and gold, were carried out throughout the banquet. Dainty baskets of lavender and gold, made by the Junior girls, were used as favors. At the close of the banquet the Senior girls were pre- sented with bouquets of sweet peas. The toast program was very cleverly planned. The month of May and its significance to each class was used as the topic for toasts. John Schooley, president of the Junior class, acted as toastmaster. A lovely vocal solo was rendered by Miss Megowan. Dancing comprised the entertainment for the remainder of the evening. Besides the Senior class, the members of the faculty, School Board and class representatives were guests at the banquet. SENIOR PARTY The Senior class party was held at the Madison High School, Septem- ber thirtieth. Music was furnished by the Brunswick, Victor and Columbia people. Dancing was the main event of the evening, which occupied most of the time. Refreshments, consisting of sandwiches, salad, cake, and hot chocolate, were served by the Senior girls. It was decided to play a few games that were played when father was a boy. Spilling the Fruit Basket, Weaverly Wheat and Drop the Handkerchief were enjoyed by all those present. Misses Walton and Robison sponsored the party. The Seniors hud Mr. Winsor as their guest for the evening. Page Sixty-nine JUNIOR CLASS PARTY On October 31, the Juniors gathered at the Madison High School to celebrate the day of Halloween.

Miss Mulberry, with the help of the Junior girls, served refreshments at a late hour. A few Senior boys made themselves guests of the evening, unknown to the Juniors. V. P. PARADE The annual Senior V. P. truck ride was given on October 7th. As usual, three trucks were hired for the occasion. Students from public schools of Granite, Venice and Madison congre- gated at Third Street hours before time for starting. The East St. Louis route was followed. While passing through East St. Louis the procession was stopped by a member of the police force and given advice upon driving an automobile. This ride was not only hailed as a success socially, but financially as well. The teachers of the M. H. S. sponsored the ride. Page Seventy SOPHOMORE PARTY The Sophomores entertained themselves with a Valentine party on February 1 3th. The school was decorated in hearts and cupids to comply with the old tradition of St. Valentine. Music was furnished by a member of the class on a victrola.

Page Eighty-two JUNIORS OF '26 We're jolly Juniors, as every-one sees, That is why we're busy as bees; To school we (jo day by day, To do our part in work or play; Of course, you know, we all get tired. But we must strive on or just get fired. We sometimes shirk, we sometimes shun, The very work that should be done; But let us make our school work pay, And well not even regret one day; Although we're the class of '26, We know no traits, we know no tricks. We'll have to take our exams very soon, Then some will have a different tune; But let what will just come our way, For there will be another day; For when we think our work is done This is the time it's just begun. —Kathleen Wood. THE CLASS OF '28 We started the year with fifty-two. Strong and sturdy and all true blue, To be a Sophomore was our aim And cause the next year's Freshies pain. We thought we'd start in Madison High, And nary a thing would pass us by. They welcomed us with a cheer arid a grin And awaited the fame that zve zvould zvin. We've written poetry, essays and prose, To tell the world of all our zvoes. And now, if you're not in too much haste, We'll tell you more of these great classmates. Nothing but “Big Fish was our bait, The Freshmen that Upper Classmen hate, But we're sure to turn out to be very great. For zve are the class of '28. —Clara Bucher.

H. S. ORCHESTRA Madison High School decided to have an orchestra this year. In the past talent was not prevalent enough to produce such an organization. Through the good will of Mr. Stice and Mr. Winsor the orchestra was given an hour of practice each week. Miss Megowen devoted part of her time to the orchestra later on in the year. This organization has proved a great success. Music furnished by them at different entertainments was enjoyed by those present. The M. H. S. Orchestra has furnished music for the opening numbers in the Class Day program, Senior play and the Societies entertainment.

Cornet Steve Maeras........................Drums Page Ninety-four BULLAWATHA Where the bright lights of the drug store Send the evening shadows flying, Strolled a little flapper darling, Full of laughter, full of moonshine, Full of bull and fudge and nonsense, With her arm around her caveman, Fie, the hero of the flappers, He, the envied of cake-eaters, Knew he all the latest dance steps That will swing a maiden’s shimmy Till it flutters in the breezes Like a yellow leaf in autumn, Like a straw hat in a cyclone, Like a fender on a flivver When the road is rough and rocky. “Kid,” said he above the sodas, “I have found for you a yearning, That is stronger than the White Mule, Warmer than the well-known hot dog When it first mates with the mustard. Though I know it is old-fashioned I would have your hand in marriage.” So he waited for her answer While his heart-beats shook the table And his hand around the soda Grew so hot with love and longing That the soda steamed and sizzled Like a frozen radiator On a Henry Ford in winter. So the drug store cowboy wed her With a smoke ring on her finger While the Old Bull mooed and tottered, Curled his toes up neath the table, At the way the flapper threw him When she murmured to her lover, “All my life I will obey you.” First Student: “I wonder how old Mr. Winsor is?” Second Ditto: “Must he pretty- old. I heard him tell that he used to teach Caesar.” Russel Runkel: “Homer said he couldn’t come to the party tonight, because they had a case of measles over at his home.” Russel Alvey: “That’s all right, bring him along. We can drink any- thing.” Jennie: “Guess what I made in Geometry this month.” Joseph: “P.” Jennie: “How did you guess it?” Joseph: “That’s the lowest grade given.” ESSAY ON FRANKLIN Franklin was born in Boston. He went to Philadelphia. He w-alked up and down the street. He saw a pretty lady. He smiled at her, she smiled at him. They got married. Franklin then discovered lightning. —A Freshie. Miss Robinson: “Can someone give me a sentence using the word satiate?” Paul : “I took my girl to a picnic last summer and I’ll satiate quite a lot.” Scoutmaster (visiting Monks Mound): “Just think, this mound is over 2000 years old.” Little Scout: “Aw gvvan, it’s only 1925 now.” Elmer: “It’s tough when you have to pay 50 cents a pound for meat.” Herman : Yes, but it's tougher when you pay 25.” Mr. Snyder (in General Science) : “Deep breathing, you know, de- stroys microbes.” Freshie: “But. Mr. Snyder, how can you force them to breathe deep- ly-” Irene: “They tell me you love music.” Eddie: “Yes, but never mind, keep on playing.” Mr. Winsor (in Solid Geometry) : “Does the question embarrass you?” Readus: “Not at all, sir, not at all. It is quite clear. It is the answer that bothers me.” ESSAY ON COLUMBUS Columbus asked Queen Elizabeth to sell her jewels to pay for ships to discover America. The king didn’t want her to, but she did. The sail- ors sailed and looked in vain for the promised land, America. Columbus excited the sailors’ wrath, they in- tended throwing him overboard. Co- lumbus saw land. He went ashore. Fie saw the red men and said, “Are you Indians?” They said, “Yes, we are Indians.” He said, “I am Co- lumbus.” They said, “You are.” Columbus then went back to Queen Elizabeth in chains. —Another Freshie.
