SKINNER Our blond-headed guard, Skinner, didn’t get to play in the first part of the season, but made up for it in the latter part. Readus leaves this year. SCHAEFER Bill alternated at center and guard. He was a valuable player. Bill has one more year. HARTLEY Gerald, a fast little forward. 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
