Jf orrUJorb In our weak and humble way we have striven to make this volume of The Madisonian one that will bring pleasant Memories in the future years. For four years we have work- ed together as classmates; now we leave the school to work in neiv and various fields, with the sincere wish that Memories of our school may nev- er fade and that Friendship's bonds may never be broken.

We en- rolled as a large class consisting of forty-eight members. The upper classmen were much amused at the stupidity and confusion of “Those Greenies,” as we were often called. But after a short time we became accustomed to the excellent methods employed in the work. The teachers were kind and sympathizing with us in all of our mistakes. At the beginning of our Sophomore year there was a noticeable decrease in numbers-and we entered with only thirty members. Mr. Winsor was welcomed as our new principal. Last year there were only twenty-six of us. Our Junior year was featured by a benefit show and the musical comedy “Kathleen”. Some of our members were chosen as principal characters in the comedy. We regret to state that during our Junior year we had a loss of four of our classmates, Ethel Pierce, Sarah Dugan, Thelma Tunison, and Hiram Marcum. Kathleen Wood and Ruby Matthews came from Indiana and Missouri, Grace Reinhardt and Milton Goldman entered from the Sopho- more Class. This year we have a dignified group of twenty-four. Ruby Matthews having discontinued school at the close of the first semester. At last we have climbed the ladder to our Senior year and are striving to graduate with high honors. We have hoped to make our career happy as well as intellectual. Our officers are Russell Alvey, President; Ralph McBrian, Vice-Pres- ident; Joseph Richardson, Secretary; Readus Skinner, Treasurer. We wish to thank the faculty and other fellow classes for the kind- ness and cooperation which they extended to us during the past years. Now we bid adieu to our school days in the dear old M. H. S. Bernadine Horrell. 19 2 6 Page fourteen ftlnbcr Classmen Juniors of 27 The Juniors strive for livelong fame, To gain themselves undying name; The prestige of their former years Has heightened under-classmen’s fears.

Page sixteen THE MADISONIAN M Junior Class J tstorp The present Junior Class entered the Madison High School, forty- three strong, in the year 1923. We might boast forty-five, because it was also the first year for Mr. Winsor and Miss Robison. One can easily note, now, how essential the present Juniors, Mr. Winsor and Miss Robi- son, have become the Madison High School. The officers for the Fresh- man year were: Leonard Eaton, President; Lee Bonville, Vice-President; Georgia Drew, Secretary-treasurer. During our first year we were very ill at ease, and timid, because of the terrible tales we had heard in the grade schools of how the Fresh- men were treated by the upper-classmen. However, our fears were not realized, and we are still living. We returned for our second year to find that our number had dwin- dled to twenty-four, several new ones having been added, while some of our old classmates had stopped school, or moved from the city. The “soph” year was one of enjoyment, mixed with hard study and work. However, we had entered into the high school social life, which is much better than being frightened and nervous Freshies. The officers during this year were: Edmond Cook, President; Gerald Hartley, Vice-Presi- dent; Georgia Drew, Secretary-treasurer. Our third and present year in the M. H. S. found us with only twenty enrolled. The year to date has been one of hard work and social life. The officers for this year are: Edmond Cook, President; Cleda Stein, Vice-President; Lee Bonville, Secretary-treasurer. The Juniors during their three years in Madison High have been prominent in athletics and literary activities. For the three years we have placed two men in major and minor letter baseball; during the Sophomore and Junior years, five men have received basket-ball letters— one for major basket-ball for two years; in track two Juniors were in- cluded on the team, and others have made use of the tennis courts. The Junior girls who have received the “M” for sports are Cleda Stein, Reva Bowman and Ruth Street. The Junior boys who have received M’s for sports are John Broomfield, Lee Bonville, Russell Runkel, Gerald Hartley, William Schaefer, and Steve Prusak. Lee Bonville. 19 2 6 Page seventeen S'opfjomores of ’28 I lere’s to the Sophomores of ’28, The wisest class in school; Of course we have faults and failings, But we are the best as a rule. The first year we were rather green. The second, we had a name, The third will be the better, But a Senior is our aim!

Page eighteen 119 2 6 THE MADISONIAN £5 opf)omore J lstorp In September 1924 we entered the High School with fifty-two mem- bers. We had become Freshmen and subject to ridicule by the lofty Seniors. We were supposed to be dumb, and we certainly looked the part. The ringing bells confused us, and we were generally at loss to understand this new regime. A meeting was called to select the class officers. Those elected were: Sam Harshany, President; Lela Crowder. Vice-President; and Gail John- son, Secretary-treasurer. We were soon interested in our studies and well on the road to success. The first semester was spent mostly in get- ting adjusted to our new surroundings. Then came the call for basket ball. Our boys responded readily and succeeded in placing one man on the first squad. Also the girls made a good showing on the girls’ team. Afterwards came the final exams, which most of us passed with flying colors and it was with genuine regret that we departed from school for the summer. The next year we came back to resume our studies with a slightly reduced number. Two of our girls, Hazel Noonan and Lela Crowder were married, while others had dropped by the wayside. This year our officers are: President, Gail Johnson; Vice-President, Mildred Martin : Secretary-treasurer, Gertrude Bilyeu. Now we began to take an active part in the affairs of the school. Our boys took a more prominent place in athletics and several of the girls were placed in a Cantata. Later we entertained ourselves at a party which was proclaimed a great success. We are now eagerly awaiting the time when we shall be Seniors and can say we have reached our goal in this school. Gail Johnson. 19 2 6 Page nineteen THE MADISONIAN Jfresfncs We’re just a bunch of Freshies, Out for victory—not defeat; We’re just a bunch of Freshies, That really can’t be beat. We started in. September first, Our history has begun, Yes, started in we 84 To have a lot of fun. Instead of play we settled down, And on our lessons started; For we were out for victory, And we weren’t to be thwarted. With such a goal, we’ll never fail. Through struggle or through strife. For we mean to win this four years’ course, And ever on through life. Dorothy Hazner. Page twenty 19 2 6 THE MADISONIAN Jfreoijmen Class J istorp Our class had the honor of being the largest Freshmen class in the history of Madison High. We started the school with four and seventy pupils but as the year progressed our number dwindled to seventy- one. On the opening day of school, as we were sitting in that gigantic room called the assembly, waiting for the show to start, a bell tinkled, and we were herded by the faculty into various rooms, which we after- wards learned were class rooms. As we proceeded from class to class we were hooted and jeered at by the upper classmen, who gave us to understand that we were a very unintelligent and insignificant company. Our first class meeting was looked forward to by one and all, and that great day finally arrived. We cast lots for the officials of our class. Miriam Schermer was elected President; Thomas Sterling, Vice-President; Gordon Routh, Secretary; and Norma Bailey, Treasurer. At the close of the trail marked first semester, we found a sign labeled “Mid-Term Exams’’ in our pathway; most of us managed to push this obstacle aside, and proceeded down the trail marked second semes- ter, although some of the weaker members of our class could not sur- pass this obstacle. On the whole, our Freshmen years proved a success, one of the main events being a class party held in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. hour of our members were placed in the High School Orchestra, and many others gained fame. Here I will repeat the words of our Freshmen advisor, “Watch this bunch in the years to come.” Virgil Phipps. 1 9 2 6 ....................

Constance embarks on a trip to find a young man who had been in her father's employ and had stolen a large sum of money. She almost succeeded when suddenly all traces of the young man was lost. On her return trip from California, she stops at a club house to visit a friend of her mother’s, and finds them in dire financial circum- stances, owing to the fact that they are failing in their attempt to main- tain the Tuxedobrook Club House. After a few explanations on the part of both, Constance remains with Mrs. Delavan for a time. In order to assist Mrs. Delavan and also to work out some plans of her own, she decides to submerge her own aristocratic personality into that of a refined but humble little Irish waitress. The family and her friend Cruger pledge their support to her, and from this time on she is known to them as Nora O’Brian. She not only carries her scheme to success in assisting the family, but finds romance and much tense and lively adventure during the period of her incognito, aside from capturing the young man who defrauded her lather. Page twenty-two THE MADISONIAN atWctics The Basket Ball season of 1925-1926 was very successful for the Madison squad. Their success was due largely to hard practice and train- ing. They fought hard and gave their best in every quarter. The team had a strong five man defense and could break to the of- fensive position quickly. A great part of their team work and defense is due to Coach Rohe, who worked hard to get the boys in shape. The games were well attended, and this encouraged the team. The forward positions were held down by Russell Runkle and Lee Bonville. George Lybarger held the center position and was good on both offense and defense. Skinner and Harshany were our two guards and time after time they kept the opponents from scoring. Our utility men were Gerald Hartley, William Schaefer, Joe Richardson, John Broomfield and Virgil Phipps. Out of twenty-four games this year, we won fifteen and lost nine. 9 2 6 l‘af e twenty-four THE MADISONIAN Games played during the season of 1925-1926. Date Madison Opponents Wrhere Played.

His defense work and his shooting ability made him a star player. We’ll miss you next year, George. HARSHANY Sam, our guard of renown. Sam was always to be depended upon. He kept the opponent forwards from scoring, and starred in every game himself.

He could be counted on to make shots when they were needed. Hartley will be here next year. PHIPPS Virgil got in a few games. He is a Freshman and will be here three more years. MADISON COUNTY TOURNAMENT The tournament was held at Granite City, February 19 and 20. Mad- ison drew a bye and played Livingston in the semi-finals. We defeated Livingston by a score of 26-2. We were then matched with Granite- City for the Championship. The game was close through the first half. The Madison defense worked very well and at the end of the game we had defeated them 28-15. This made us the Madison County Champions. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT AT COLLINSVILLE Madison entered the district Tournament, and was scheduled to play Red Bud in the preliminaries. At the very first of the game Madi- son came into the lead and held it through the game to the finish with a score of 29-12. During this game the team played its best until the game was sure to be won, then subs were entered and showed their skill on the basket ball floor. Madison's next game was with Lebanon, the winners of the St. Clair County Championship honors. In this game Madison met defeat. They played a good game until Sam was taken out of the game with four personal fouls. This broke up Madison’s defense and from then to the finish of the game we faired badly and were beaten by a score of 31-20. WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY TOURNAMENT The Washington University Tournament, in which teams from this district compete for honors was held in St. Louis. The best teams al- ways play here as it is held after all other tournaments. Madison entered as a contestant, but was defeated in the first game by our neighbors from East St. Louis by a count of 28-12. Madison was off her guard and East St. Louis won without difficulty. Ralph McBrian and Russell Alvey. THE MADISONIAN COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Not many years ago a Commercial course in our High School was unknown. Many of our former graduates who desired to take up Com- mercial work found it necessary to enroll in a Commercial College in order to secure the required training. But a High School in an industrial center such as ours soon found that it must furnish those students who wished to go into the Commercial world some training in Commercial subjects. Now it is possible for any student who will apply himself diligently for four years in High School to possess a High School diploma, and also a foundation in Commercial work sufficient to enable him to hold a position. Our Commercial Department includes Bookkeeping, Junior and Senior Shorthand and Typewriting, Commercial Law, Business Arith- metic and Economics. There is a good enrollment in all these classes. YVe are glad to say that many of our Seniors of last year are now holding stenographic positions in the Tri-Cities and in St. Louis. We hope their present positions will prove stepping-stones to something better in the future. The Seniors of this year are leaving a very valuable and useful gift to the school, that is, an Edison-Dick Mimeograph. During this year the class has been publishing a small paper. The Madisonian News, using this machine to print it. The Senior Shorthand and Typewriting class cut all the stencils, which gave them some very practical experience. We hope that the students of our department, who are leaving us this year, will find the w’ork they undertake both pleasant and profitable, and that the on-coming classes will catch a vision of the opportunities which lie before them. HOME ECONOMICS Fifty girls of Madison High School took advantage of the Domestic Science classes in sewing and cooking. For this year some excellent work has been done in both classes. In sewing class, the study of textiles and correct selection of cloth- ing was correlated with the actual making of the garments for either the students themselves or members of their family. Lnder-garments, aprons and dresses were all made in the laboratory. In the cooking class the body building foods, the fuel and energy producing foods and the growth promoting foods were studied. The selection of food stuffs for various meals was decided by comparing the composition of different foods, in order that no necessary food constituent would be omitted from the meal. Very complete and palatable menus were made out by various members of the class. Reva Bowman. 9 2 6 Page twenty-seven to' THE MADISONIAN —........ to SCIENCE DEPARTMENT September 2, 1925 was very auspicious for the science department when it was crowded to maximum capacity. About 100 students enrolled in all the classes which made a total of about eighty-two Freshmen in General Science and about eighteen Juniors and Seniors in the Physics Class. The Freshmen all showed their interest and curosity in the work and the Physics class were ready to back the high precipice of the Physi- cal world. After a short outline of the Physics course and a discussion of the aim, cold shivers began to run down the spine of several, who finally, in a quiet way, dismissed all thoughts of remaining. The first fact they found out was that, “Physics is the science which treats with the related phenomena of matter and energy.’’ Next appeared on the scenes the trouble of the little innocent fel- lows which were Mr. Molecules and his partner Mr. Velocity. Then came Miss Siphon, Miss Harmonic Motion, Mr. Crystallization and last but not least came Mr. Centripetal and Centrifugal Force all in a parade. But after many twisting and turnings and hard work, we all reached the final goal which we are all f-miliar with—SUCCESS. Milton Goldman. ARTS CLUB Under the leadership of Mr. Rohe, an Arts Club was organized at the beginning of the second semester for the purpose of studying and discussing architecture, paintings, sculpturing, interior decorating, furni- ture styles, and other relative subjects. There were thirteen charter members. The officers of the club are: William Schaefer, President; John Broomfield, Vice-President; Joseph Richardson, Secretary-treasurer. The meetings are held at the High School every Thursday evening. The charter members paid fifty cents enrollment fee; this money being used to buy a projecting machine for illustrating lectures. Mr. Rohe has a number of pictures cut from magazines and books, show- ing various styles of furniture and modes of interior decorating. The pictures will be used with the projecting machine, and will be a valu- able aid to make the lectures more impressive. THE MADISONIAN Class mill We, the class of 1926 of the Madison High School, village of Madison, County of Madison, State of Illinois, being of sound mind and body, and realizing that our high school life is drawing to a close, and in accordance with the doctrine as put forward by the preceeding graduating classes of said school, do hereby publish this last will and testament.

Yet Miss Mitchell shows distaste She wants glue instead of paste. Russell Wedler. THE MADISONIAN Class $ropljccp It was in the year of 1940, when I was sitting in my office reading The Madisonian News, which was not the small paper that the class of ’26 was so proud of, but a large paper, or rather a magazine, similar to the Literary Digest, with which most everyone is familiar. I was at this time running a very well known dress shop in Paris known as the “Blue Puff Shop”. After reading the high school paper, I had a deep yearning to see my former classmates and pals. I wanted once more to see the school and the town in which I spent so many days of my youth. Immediately I ordered things to be prepared for a journey to the United States, and purchased tickets to sail at once. I made a hasty de- parture from my shop and apartment. After being out on the ocean several days I, by chance, was reading an article on typewriting, in which I had always been interested. I be- gan to read the names of world champion typists for the past 50 years and as I glanced at the year of 1926 I saw Albert Tangora’s name. I remembered so well when our commercial teacher. Miss Michel, had put that telegram on the board telling of Tangora’s success. I began to wonder who else had been so successful, glancing on down the long list of champions my eyes fell upon one name and move them from that name I could not, for they wrere fixed there, as if glued. The name was no other than that of Nora Rogers. I glanced at the school from which she came, it was, to be sure, Madison High School, Class of ’26. I then thought to myself, “Well, Nora's chief ambition is realized”. I can remember when she sat at her typewriter in school for hours at a time typing something if only practice material. Upon landing in New York I decided to stay in the city for a time. After getting settled in a hotel I decided to spend the evening at the opera. While seated in the theater awaiting the rising of the curtain. I heard some one laugh and the voice seemed strangely familiar. I glanc- ed at the person next to me and to my great surprise I was looking into the smiling face of my old classmate, Kathleen Woods. After our meeting we had a very pleasant time discussing old times, spent together in the old M. H. S. Kathleen, I learned was one of the foremost leading ladies in Society in New York City. She then invited me to spend a few days with her. During my visit with Kathleen I learned that Thelma Jones, Lucille Harrison and Donelda Blackmore were con- ducting a well known Business College in Philadelphia. Even if they w-ere quiet in school, their lives were successful. From New York I went to St. Louis where I felt sure I would meet some old acquaintances of mine. 19 2 6 Page thirty-one THE MADISONIAN After a few days rest I decided to drive to the little town of Madi- son. To my utter surprise it was no longer a little town, but a large city. I was driving up Madison Ave., and I began to wonder, “Well, surely I am on the wrong street, for this is so smooth and I have never hit a bump.” Greatly was I astonished and especially when I drove down Third Street for there stood a large and magnificent theater in place of the small Madison Theatre often referred to when I went there as “The Jump- ing Shadow.” Farther on down the street I saw a fine, big building and I wondered. “Now, what can that be?” I soon found out. It was nothing but the New Madison High School and it had beautiful play grounds and lawn. It might be larger and more beautiful but I was sure that no class was ever graduated from there any happier than the Class of ’26. I then went into the school building and immediately sought the office. Yes! there was Mr. Stice. somewhat older but the same pleasant and smiling Superintendent of old. I visited the English classes and who should be seated at the desk giving the Seniors an outline on Lycidas but Fay Croach. Fay and I had to talk and I suppose the class was not sorry for I know that we were never sorry to have a rest during class period. Fay invited me to go to dinner with her, then to a show at the New Madison Opera House. After being seated I was reading the program when I noticed that a well-known orchestra was to play that night. Looking over the names of the individuals, I especially looked at the drum- mer’s name—for it was none other than Guy Williams. Fay told me they were known as the best Jazz Orchestra in the United States. How well I remembered when Guy first entered the Orchestra at school, and how proud we were of him. Upon leaving the theater I decided to interview Guy. He was as pleased to see me as I was to see him. He insisted upon taking Fay and me to a well-known Cafe, saying we could talk while enjoying a few dainties. I learned from Guy that Charles Burch was the World’s most Famous Orator. He had won several honorary degrees, and everyone in Madison was proud to have it said that he came from the Madison High School. During my stay in Madison I was driving along when I saw a very large and fine garage. The sign read, “For courtesy and service come to Goldman's”. After reading the sign I began to wonder if that could be Milton. I decided to find out, so I drove in and asked to see the man- ager. I was ushered into a well furnished office and, just as I thought, there sat Milton Goldman, but to my surprise he was smoking a cigar. I learned from Milton that George Lybarger was owner of one of the largest publishing houses in Chicago. I suppose his being Editor-in- 19 2 6 Page thirty-two THE MADISONIAN Chief of the High School paper was not in vain, as his ambitions led him to a great success. As it was beginning to get cold in Madison I decided to go to Cali- fornia for a visit. Upon arriving in Hollywood, I rented a small apart- ment in the heart of Hollywood. As I was well acquainted with one of the producers, who was Joseph Richardson, of Class ’26, I gained permis- sion very readily to go with Joe and his company to cast a picture. I learned that Mary Greenlee and Helen Crimmins were the dress makers for this particular company. I sought out their apartment and spent a very pleasant evening talking. I was well pleased to think both old classmates had good positions. After quite a stay in California I directed my footsteps to Palm Beach, Florida, thinking probably I would find some new pleasures there. I had only been in Florida a few days when I noticed a great commotion around the hotel. I inquired of the hotel clerk and found that the World’s Champion Tennis Player was to arrive at two o’clock, and that it was now one. I went to the lobby to help welcome the expected guest, for I thought it was going to be Helen Wills, who had held the Champion- ship for many years. It was now two o’clock, and the guest had arrived. Surely my eyes were deceiving me, but, no, the celebrated one was Grace Reinhardt. I gained an interview with her and we had a very lengthy conver- sation. She told me of her recent success in defeating Helen Wills for the first time. During my stay in Florida I was invited to a Radio party. We were all seated waiting for the program to commence. When the an- nouncer’s name was given I was somewhat surprised for the name was very familiar to me, as it was Russell Alvey. There is no need for me to say I was well pleased with Russell’s success as I imagine everyone of our former classmates were, who had heard him over the Radio. The radio was tuned into another station and the first thing we heard was a Saxaphone solo. Everyone in the room remarked about the wonderful playing. The name of the musician was again announced. Here was another real surprise for me, for the name was Mr. Readus Skinner. My thoughts turned back to the old M. H. S. again, where Readus first showed his talent as a musician. I turned from Florida and started for Colorado Springs. Here I saw some very beautiful scenery. On Wednesday there was to be given a home talent play at the College and I decided to go. While going through the College I engaged in conversation with one of the instructors and learned that the name of the lady who was sponsoring the play was Vestal Goode. She also told me that she was one of the best directors in the company for which she worked. She was well versed in Music and Danc- ing, thus making her work a great success. I immediately sought Vestal for she was an old pal as well as a for- US THE MADISONIAN mer classmate. We spent about two hours in real steady talking, and then upon looking at my watch I had to bid her a hasty adieu. While I was in Colorado I visited one of the largest Sanitariums in Denver. Here another one of my old classmates had shown his skill and knowledge and was now head surgeon of this sanitarium. This was Ralph McBrian. I spent the evening with Ralph, we had a very interesting talk of old friendships and the many good times we had in the Madison High School. I left the next morning for Washington D. C. Here I met my two old buddies and classmates, Bernadine Horrell and Charity Bucher. Charity was private secretary to the President and Bernadine was a secretary in the war department. How well I remembered that when one would ask Charity or Berna- dine what they were going to do when they graduated, they would say, “Well I suppose I will plunk the typewriter keys.” I spent several days with Bernadine and Charity. I told them of the many classmates I had met or heard of while touring the United States. They then informed me of the fact that another of our classmates was a resident of that city, Mrs. Marie Snelson, formerly Marie Mullen of Class ’26. This was no more than I expected for I remember quite well when we were Seniors and Marie came back to school after the Christmas hol- idays only to show us a beautiful diamond she had received from her boy friend. I left Washington D. C. the next morning to go to Niagara Falls, where I knew I would meet some people I knew. But little did I expect to meet another one of my classmates and friends. Who should be there sketching the beauties of the falls but Mildred Martin? This was beyond all of my expectations. Having made myself known to Mildred, we settled ourselves for a long and interesting talk. Mildred told me of all the events of the last fourteen years. She had spent several years in Paris studying art. I gathered from her work that she had not spent her time in vain. - Mildred decided to go back to New York with me. We were chat- tering very gaily on the train when I happened to glance across the aisle and saw a very attractive lady. We recognized her immediately as our old pal, and classmate, Anna Braunsdorf. She was en-route to New York also, so we three had a very enjoyable journey. Anna told us that she was private secretary to Kathleen Norris and had written several short stories for New York magazines. After our arrival in New York, we spent several very happy days together before I sailed. Mildred and Anna accompanied me to the boat, where I took leave of the United States for a period of several years. But I was not sorry I took the trip and my many round-about travels be- cause I had heard of, or seen every one of my classmates, and many of the faculty members.

Matika of Granite City came to our school from the Y. M. C. A. to interest us in the orga- nization of a Hi-Y Club. He held a meeting of the boys to tell them what the organization stood for, and its purpose. As a result of this meeting the Madison Hi-Y Club was organized, membership was limited to the three upper classes. Joe Richardson was elected President; Gail Johnson, Vice-President: Russel Runkel, Treasurer; and Ralph McBrian, Secretary. A large delegation from the Madison Hi-Y Club attended the State Older Boys’ Conference at Carbondale. This Conference left an indelible impression on the minds of most of the boys. It was largely through the influence of this club and its most capable leader, Mr. Winsor, that the district Older Boys' Conference was held at Madison, March 12-13, 192G. As the Hi-Y Club has been so great a success, the girls in the High School started a Hi-G Club. It is hoped by all that this club thrives and does as much good as our Hi-Y Club. Ralph McBrian. Page thirty-six 9 2 6 THE MADISONIAN jftabiscm 1L)i (Club After hearing so much about the Boys’ Hi-Y Club, the girls later took it upon themselves to organize a Girls' Club. This Club was named the Girls’ Hi-G Club; mem- bership being limited to the three upper classes. Vestal Goode was elected President; Frances Carlin, Vice-Presi- dent; Trula Walk, Secretary-Treasurer. At the various meetings very interesting subjects have been brought up for discussion. As we started so late with this organization, we have not been able to accomplish much, but our greatest hopes are to see it taken up again next year and thrive throughout the years to come.

A four-course dinner was served to the Seniors, Faculty, School Board, Under Classes’ Representatives and the Juniors by the East Side Catering Company. The Colors of the two classes were used in the color scheme. Favors were presented to each one. Fortunes were passed around. George Lybarger acted as toastmaster. The representatives from the lower classes delivered addresses suited to the occasion. A vocal solo was rendered by Miss Megowen. Dancing comprised the entertainment for the remainder of the evening. Music was furnished by the “Humming Birds” of St. Louis. SOPHOMORE PARTY The Sophomores entertained themselves and a few friends from other classes at a party on Friday, February 26. A few games were played but dancing occupied the greater part of the evening. The Jazz Orchestra furnished the music. Refreshments were served in the Assembly. Miss Jessop, Mr. Winsor and Mr. Rohe were honorary guests. All left hoping another such party could be given. 1 9 2 Page thirty-nine JUNIOR FAREWELL PARTY The Junior Class gave a ‘‘Farewell Party” on October 26, 1925, in honor of one of their most popular members, Miss Georgia Drew. Miss Drew had been with the class since we started in our school career. She was to move to St. Louis and we wished to show our appreciation to her. The evening was spent in playing games and dancing. After the entertainment, light refreshments were served by the Junior girls. During the lunch Miss Drew gave a short speech to express to the class and to tell how she enjoyed being in our class. The sponsors were Misses Mulberry and Jessop. Irene Barlow. FRESHMEN PARTY The Freshmen gave a St. Patrick’s Party Friday, March Nineteenth, and about forty attended. One of the many games that were played was the Question Box, each person being requested to answer a question that was written on a shamrock and handed to him on the stage. This caused quite a bit of embarrassment for a time but needless to say, everyone enjoyed it. During the latter part of the evening refreshments were served and a few danced. The music was furnished by the High School Jazz Orchestra. Miss Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. Winsor were honor guests. HALLOWE'EN PARTY A variety of faces and costumes were seen headed for the M. H. S. on Friday night, October the thirtieth. The Jazz Orchestra furnished the entertainment of the evening. The Seniors won the prize of two dollars for the best stunt, “A Millerdrammer.” Individual prizes for costumes were also given, Norma Phipps winning first and Harold Beck, second; Reva Bowman and Cleda Stein, first for couples and David Bergfield and Bennie Goldman, second. The party ended at an unusual early hour as there were so many Freshmen present. jfr.................— THE MADISONIAN ■ Wk THE CANTATA A musical program was given at the Madison High School, Feb. 9, 1926. The first part of the program consisted of the following numbers: Music, selected, by High School Orchestra. Vocal Solo, “The Wind’s in the South”, by Mary Levy. Violin Solo, selected, by Bennie Abramowitz. Bonding, “Mr. Rastus Johnsing at the Wedding. by Doris Pillow. Cornet Solo, “Intermezzo”—Cavalleria Rusticana, by John Ulffers. Vocal Duet, “Gay Butterfly ’, by Mary Levy and Dorothy Hazner. Reading, “In Iminent Peril , by Gertrude Bader. Violin Solo, “Whispering Flowers”, by Gordon Routh. The second part of the program was the cantata “The Lady of Sha- lott”, sung by a chorus of thirty-nine girls. This poem was written by Alfred Tennyson in 1832. Considered as a picture or series of pictures, its beauty is unsurpassed. The story is founded upon a touching legend connected with the romance of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. Tennyson afterward expand- ed it into the Idyll called “FUaine. Sir Launcelot was the strongest and bravest of the Knights of the Round Table, and, for love of him. Elaine, “the fair maid of Astolat” pined away and died. The cantata was a picturesque and lucid musical interpretation of this romantic poem. We wish to extend our thanks to the people of Madison for showing an interest in us, and for coming to our programs and entertainments. The money from this program was used to buy new music for the school. Mildred Martin. JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM 1926 On May 7, the Juniors of the Madison High School entertained the Seniors at the annual Prom at the Madison High School.

Grace Reinhardt Bernadine llorrell Trula Walk Milton Goldman Fay Croach Joseph Richardson Russell Alvey ...... Class of ’26 The following poem was composed by Russell Wedler in commem- oration of Mother’s Day, and was given as a toast at the Junior Prom. Coast May I. my friends, now’ pledge my love To one w'ho loves me best May I a loved one’s virtue show Far better than the rest. She holds a love for me more true Than gallant’s love is shown. Hers is a love that greater is By far than you have known. There are some pretty lasses here Who are with sweethearts, too; But theirs is not a love like this, A love that is so true. If I have wrongly judged you now I ask your feelings mend, I pledged my love to one so true, Perchance my only friend, My Mother. Page fifty-six 9 2 6 - Miss Robison—(In English IV) Charles, did you ever read “To a Waterfowl”? Charles—Naw! How do you get them to listen? . , , Vestal—What’s the matter? Readus—I can’t get this confounded self-starter to work. I think there must be a short circuit somewhere? Vestal— How annoying, can’t you lengthen it? , j Mr. Snyder—What is the difference between lightning and electri- city ? Maurice C—We have to pay for electricity. , jt Gene S—Well, I showed Miss Jessop up today. Verne H.—How did you do it? Gene—She asked me for Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, and I told her he never lived there. Miss Robison—What is the future of “I love”. Freshman—I divorce. ,«t ,« ,.«i Mable D.—Why do they put B. C. after the dates in Ancient History? Mildred M.—Because they didn’t know whether the dates were ex- actly right, so they say ’bout correct. , Lois B.—I am studying the origin of blotting paper. Elnora F.—That must be very absorbing. Russell W.—What was the first adding machine you ever used? Russel R.—My ten fingers. 19 2 6 Page fifty-ieven THE MADISONIAN Nora R.— (arriving late at a basketball game) What’s the score? Marie M.—Nothing, nothing. Nora—Goody, I haven’t missed a thing. j� ,• Mr. Rohe—You can’t hear the knock in my car any more Mr. Winsor—Why not? Mr. Rohe—I've loosened one of the fenders. J v Mr. Snyder—And what follow’s on the apron strings of the Westerly Winds? Curtis W.—Search me, I never knew that the Westerly Winds had apron strings. jt , , Miss Mitchell— (in cooking class) Irene, are you sure you washed this lettuce, it had such a flat taste. Irene B.—Yes, mam. Why, I even put an over amount of oxydol in it that you had on the shelf. Frances C.—Isn’t it difficult to keep a trial balance? Gene S.—It’s terrible. This month I had to put in four mistakes to make mine balance. jt ,« jt Cleda S.—Your neck reminds me of a typewriter. Jennie R.—How so? Cleda—Underwood. jt jt Miss Michel—You should have that definition in your mind, so that you will not have to depend on your paper. Edmond C.—I have it in my mind, but 1 didn’t know how to get it out. j� , , Mr. Winsor had written on the back of Joseph Richardson’s paper: ‘Please write more legibly”. The next day Joe went to the desk and asked: ‘‘Mr. Winsor, what is that you wrote on the back of my theme?” jt , j Curtis W—Where have you been? Guy W.—I just drove Miss Mulberry over to an osteopath in E. St. Louis. Curtis—Osteopath! What street is that, I’ve never been through E. St. Louis very much. . „ ,st Mr. Winsor—Who fixes the amount that each department of the Government may spend? Guy Williams—A man called Mr. Budget.

H. S. When all were young and gay. The Sophs—that’s what they called us then, The Sophs were wond’rous wise— Tho’ while we thought we knew it all; ’Twas but a weak disguise. We were the class of ’28, To greatness all were destined; But in the worldly ways of life, We were but poorly lessoned. But ah! The memories of that class, My mind they have impressed, With their deeds of good and ways of work; The ones that were the best.
