The Staff has labored hard and our work is at last complete. Perhaps our object has not been fully attained but we have done our best and that is all that is possible. We present to you the fruit of our efforts, the Madisonian of 1927. —The Staff the MADISONIAN ©ebicatton TO MISS EDNA ROBISON As a token of our sincere appreciation of her instruction, advice, and friendship, we, the Class of 1927, dedicate this annual. 1 9 2 7 gspjB wsa wiaaa Pa ye three c OOL BO4 GREGG CARLIN PEPPERS BONVILLE PRES� DENT PEEBLES OVERBV SECRETARY LYBARGER WIN SOR PRINCIPAL ROHE MATHEMATICS JESSUP LATIN H.S.STICE SUPERINTENDENT ROBISON ENGLISH MICHEL COMMERCIAL MULLBERRY COMMERCIAL FACULTY CARLIN SECRETARY MRS.STICE ALGEBRA =uz THE MADISONIAN Annual £s taff Editor-in-Chief Jennie Rosenstrom Associates Editors William Schaefer, Lois Brown Literary Editor Russell Wedler Assistant Editor David Friedman Business Manager Cleda Stein Assistant Manager Robert Clare Athletic Editor Lee Bonville Assistant Editors Russel Runkel, Gerald Hartley Society Editor Reva Bowman Assistant Editors Opal McFarland, Lenna Little Advertising Manager David Bergfield Assistant Managers Edmond Cook, Irene Barlow Joke Editor John Broomfield Assistant Editors Elnora Foehse, Mildred Busby Art Editor Michael Macek MADISONIAN SEN I O R S IRENE BARLOW Of all the greatest dramatists, 1 think the best is Marlowe, And all because his wondrous name Will always rhyme with Barlow.

REV A BOWMAN For a peculiarity I’m known—oh, for miles, And every person links my name With wondrous laughing smiles. LEE BONVILLE I came to school one early morn To hear the Seniors rave. They called the curling of my hair A lovely marcel wave. LOIS BROWN I am like the frolic mermaids, Clothed so glistening fair, And like these beauteous Naiads I’ve kept my lengthy hair. i9 2 7 Page nine MADISONIAN SEN I O R S JOHN BROOMFIELD My kinky hair of brownish hue Is envied by the girls, Who often stop and often stare At what they call my curls. MILDRED BUSBY All through my life I’ve tried my best To win a man named Fame, And if I lose this lasting fight I’ll say, what’s in a name? ROBERT O. CLARE I read the classical novels That tell of crimes and shames, The most renowned of all these tales Relate of Jesse James.

LENNA LITTLE My mother says it puzzles her, And really ’tis a riddle, How I love her so much—and yet, She’s loved by such a “Little”. GERALD HARTLEY I have a grave philosophy Of far away and near; The farther away from the teacher The better I can hear. opal McFarland My name has always made me famed And also made me hopeful, For if my name means anything, I’m precious as an “Opal”. MICHAEL MACEK I am the worthy president Of this, the Senior class, And, all the teachers must admit, I’d never take their sass.

CLEDA STEIN “Your surname is so very grand, It makes me smile,” he said; “For long ago I bought a ‘stein’ Of something which is dead!” RUSSEL WEDLER He’s very small, and a poet, “Yes”, These verses above will show. How he does it no one can guess But he is always at the goal. Paye twelve 1927 THE MADISONIAN Mentor Clags tstorp Chapter I One bright September morning, the city of Madison was startled by a sudden eastward migration which clogged the wide boulevards and avenues. One inquisitive citizen followed a crowd of the timid, excited wayfarers and at length discovered their objective to be Madison High School. A thorough investi- gation brought to light the fact that the thronging mob was the new Freshman Class, which was just entering the halls of learn- ing. Thereafter the daily migration became a commonplace af- fair and excited no one except the strangers who were unused to the phenomenon. Chapter II On another beautiful September morning, one year later, the boulevards of Madison were again thronged; but the crowds seemed more intelligent and important than that of the previous year. The Sophies were perfectly at home and even commercial- ized their year’s experience by selling assembly tickets, section room seats and sundry other privileges to the guileless and trust- ing Freshmen. They soon reorganized and elected Edmond Cook president; Gerald Hartley, Vice-President; Georgia Drew, Sec- retary-treasurer. During this year one of our boys made the first team of which we were very proud. Our class took a prominent part in the programs and socials of the Olympia Literary Society. The scholarship of the class was in keeping with its other accomplishments, and a great many Sophomores were noticed during examination time. Our second year in Mad- ison High ended like a comet, leaving a trail of glory. Chapter III On another bright morning in September, the very atmos- phere of the High School was one of expectancy. What was the reason for the look of joyous anticipation which rested on its broad countenance? Was the President coming to pay it a visit? Or maybe Queen Marie of Roumania or the Prince of Wales? No! _£ THE MADISONIAN Far better than that. M. H. S. awaited the arrival of the Jun- iors. Soon they appeared and, although depleted in numbers, they had increased in wisdom and ability, fully determined to make the coming year one that would leave “footprints on the sands of time.” This year three of our boys made the first team. My! how delighted we were! As the Seniors were holding a contest for popularity for the Madisonian, we were probably the first to nominate our candidates, four being selected from each class. With so much zeal and hard labor our class supported our candi- dates that three were elected for the annual. Then the Juniors en- tered upon their vacation with a feeling of satisfaction with their year’s work, and a prediction of great things for their Senior year. Chapter IV On still another bright, beautiful morning in September, 1926, the High School welcomed to its wide halls the pride of its heart—The Class of ’27. If previous years had been successful, their Senior year was one continuous and glorious triumph. The Class organized and elected Mike Macek, president; Edmond Cook, vice-president; Gerald Hartley, secretary-treasurer. The Class of ’27 swept everything before it. Athletics again owed its success largely to the Class of ’27; the annual staff were elected early in the year so as to be certain of success—in short, the Seniors dominated everything. Thus is the fitting and triumphant end to the brilliant car- eer of the Class of 1927. A gloomy desolation surrounds the school; the Class of 1927 has departed from its wide halls, never to return again. CLEDA STEIN. the MADISONIAN Junior Class Istorp One of the most important chapters of our life began when we, num- bering 52, entered Madison High. Our Freshman year was one to be remembered, and we look back on it with loving memories. An important event of our first year was the musical comedy, “Kathleen”, in which most of the freshman girls participated. The presiding officers were: Sam Harshany, President; Lela Crowder, Vice-President; and Gail Johnson, Secretary-Treasurer. When we returned in 1925, our number had decreased a little. This term was easier than the first, for we had become accustomed to our surroundings. Now it was our turn to bestow upon the freshies that “Upper-Classman” look that all Sophomores acquire. The officers this year were: Gail Johnson, President; Mildred Martin, Vice-President; and Gertrude Bilyeu, Secretary-Treasurer. We began our third year with higher and greater thoughts. As we finish it, we realize that we are nearing the beginning of the end, and Page sixteen THE MADISONIAN we dislike to close our happy high school days. Our Junior activities were all successful, as they had been during the other two years, due espe- cially to our sponsors who have cooperated splendidly with us in every- thing that we have undertaken. Our Junior officers are: Gene Swigert, President; Mary Skender, vice-president and Bertha Fraundorf, Secre- tary-Treasurer. “Watch your step, the stairs are slippy”, This the sign that met our stare, When as Freshies bright and frisky, We dreamed dreams of castles fair. Sophomores, ah, one step was taken, On those dreadful slippery stairs. With Geometry we must reckon, Oh! those solids, cubes, and squares. Now we’re Juniors, and we’re learning How to watch our step with care. And we hope that when we’re finished, We’ll no longer fear those stairs. Gertrude Bilyeu ’28.

The flood of June 7, 1903 had destroyed the homes and belong- ings of many of the people so that the school was organized at a very poor time. The first enrollment was fourteen and the school was in the recitation room and front hall of the W. T. Harris School. The two teachers were Miss Megowen and Mr. Baer. The attendance had increased to twenty at the beginning of the second year, due to the enrollment of some of the students who had been attending school in Granite City and East St. Louis. Miss Harris was added as the third teacher. At first the school was not accredited, and other schools got some of the pupils because of this. So in the spring of 1905 the Illinois High School Inspector came, but, because of the in- completeness of our library and laboratory and the smallness of our school, he refused to accredit it. The next year the library and laboratory were greatly enlarged, and the periods were chang- ed to forty minutes, which they have remained. Again the In- spector came and this time fully accredited the Madison High School. Miss Frances Ulffers was the first graduate in 1904. She gave an essay on “Music,” as her part of the exercises. She little thought at that time that music appreciation and study would develop as it did. Music was taught in all the grades of our public schools and the High School. In the spring of 1926, Miss Megowen the music supervisor was added to the High School Faculty. She resigned at the middle of the year, and is greatly missed. In 1905 Madison High School joined the Madison County High School Association, an athletic association, which disband- ed in 1909, but athletics have been carried on since that time. It is now a member of the Southwestern Illinois Conference. In the middle of the winter of 1911 the High School was moved into the new addition of the W. T. Harris School, but due to the increase of enrollment of the grade school, and the lack of room, it was soon crowded again. In 1913 it was learned that a new high school was to be (Continued on page 22) Page eighteen (assFgaassraaiff the madisonian fgaggaaBiwiasES S'Ciptiomovr Class H)iston Poor Freshies! How stupid we must have looked as we stumbled into the assembly on that fatal day in the year 1925. Yes, Freshies, indeed! Seventy-four of us, feasting our eyes upon a seemingly added attraction—the Seniors. Nevertheless, good or bad, it was the first step we had taken towards solving that great problem called High School Life. The following class officers were chosen: Marion Sehermer, President; Thomas Sterling, Vice-President; and Gordon Routh, Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Snyder and Miss Mitchell were our class advisors. Like every other Freshman class, we soon became accustomed to the splendid rules and regulations and now we have developed into the noble, handsome, thoughtful and wise-appearing Sophomores. Of course, we feel sophisticated, it is a remarkable achievement. The various expressions on our faces account for that. Our number has decreased slightly and our present enrollment num- bers fifty-five hale and hearty Sophomores. The class officers at the present are Virgil Phipps, President; Harry Cook, Vice-President; and Norma Stuart, Secretary-Treasurer. 1927 Page twenty the madisoinian During this year we have enjoyed several parties and on a whole our Sophomore Year has proved to be quite a success. We are hoping that the future has an abundance in store for us and we guarantee to accomplish greater things in the years to come. This is station S-O-P-H-O-M-O-R-E. Please stand by us.

It had eighteen rooms and a gymnasium. The first six weeks, the students were frequently interrupted by the workmen, because the building was not quite completed, and they had no electric lights, black- boards, nor other conveniences. This year another addition was made to the faculty, and now there were five teachers, Miss Megowen, Miss Bostick, Mr. Baer, Mr. Janssen, and Mr. Harrison. In January 1915, Mr. Baer the superintendent died, and his death was keenly felt, both by the students and the townpeople, because he had so influenced the growth of the High School. His successor was Mr. Jackson who served in that office until his death. In 1917 Mr. Stice was appointed. There has been an increase in the faculty from two teach- ers to the present number of eight, and in the student enroll- ment from fourteen to one hundred seventy-five. As we look through the lists of Alumni, we find that our graduates have succeeded in many different fields of activity. We feel sure that at least a part of their success is directly attributed to the fundamental principles taught them in the Madison High School. This year the Annual Staff decided they would not hold the usual popularity contest as it was getting rather stale. So prizes of $10, $5, and $2.50 were offered for selling the Annuals. All the sales that were turned in at the close of the first two weeks received double votes. The contest closed two weeks after this. Virgil Phipps, Sophomore, won first prize; Mary Skender, Junior, won second; Jennie Rosenstrom, Senior, won third. When the Annual contest closed, 259 Annuals had been sold. We take this means of expressing our thanks to all the students that have help- ed us in the sale of our Annuals, either selling to others or buy- ing for themselves. (Continued from page 18) Annual Contest Senior Class. 1927 Par e twenty-two THE MADISONIAN Jfresftman Claste J|ts;torp The History of the Freshman Class is brief. In September 1926, we organized, choosing our class officers: Dorothy Rohe, President; Viola Franklin, Vice-President; Joe Blumenfeld, Secretary, and John Toncoff, Treasurer. This past semester we have worked and toiled to reach one step to- ward the goal of Seniorship, our “Promised Land.” We Freshmen are fortunate in having such good advisors as Mr. Sny- der and Mrs. Stice, for through their efforts, we are able to reach the height of our ambition. Miss Megowen served the first few months as class sponsor and then resigned from the M. H. S. Mrs. Stice was selected to succeed her. The ’30’s have many achievements before them in all the activities of the school, but at present, our class is too young to be represented in many of them, although in basketball, four Freshmen have distinguished themselves by making the second team. Page twenty-four THE MADISONIAN The Freshmen Class has promising material and we are proud of each student who represents us in school and public life. In future years, we Freshmen hope that the classes read the records of those that have gone before them and find the class of 1930 “weighed but not found wanting.” ®f)e JfreSijmen, ©betr Resolution We were green as grass But we’ve learned to let pass The Senior’s jibes with a smile; We are full of fun, Still—we’re ready to run In a race for an end worth while. We’re willing to work hard For the wished-for reward At the end of the four year course; So we’re working with vim, Surely many will win, Then who should have cause for remorse? Now, what I’ve said before I’m going to say once more, You’ll grant me permission I’m certain, And with hearts full of joy Each Frosh girl and boy— Just a minute! I’ll soon draw the Curtain!

A few of the girls attended the Mother and Daughter Banquet held at the Y. M. C. A. Frances Carlin was elected President; Clara Bucher, Vice-President; and Irene Woods, Secretary-Treasurer, for the first semester. Owing to the absence of Irene Wood, Dorothy Hazner was appointed Assistant Sec- retary-Treasurer. The meetings are held every two weeks at the Public Library. Topics of interest are discussed and a play is planned to be staged sometime in April. Officers for the second semester are: Frances Carlin, President; Mary Skender, Vice-President, and Dorothy Hazner as Secretary-Treas- urer. The Hi-G Club is well-founded and is—or hopes to be, a permanent asset of the Madison High School. Frances Carlin, ’28. Page twenty-six ESS33:SEl7SS® THE MADISONIAN ©askettmll 1926=27 As in previous years, Coach Rohe employed the strictly five-man type of defense, with short fast passes in the offensive. The squad was adept in the fast close shot, and the long shots used only when men nearer the goal were covered, Hartley and Harshany sinking a large majority of their long tosses for the hoop. When unable to penetrate their opponents’ defense, the long shot was used in order to follow up for close shots, in which Schaefer, owing to his height proved efficient. Bonville and Run- kel counted numerous goals by their exchange of short side court passes, with Schaefer breaking for the clear on the opposite side of the floor, for a follow-up to take a pass. Phipps and Bergfield, although reserves, were on par with the regulars, and as any team is as strong as its weakest re- serve, they helped to bolster Madison to one of the best teams in the Southwestern Conference, and this section of the state. 1927 Page twenty-eight THE MADISONIAN Conference Uecorbs Madison At Lebanon Before our journey to Lebanon to engage them in our first conference tilt, our record was five victories and no defeats. Madison could not find her pep and speed during the first half and Lebanon enjoyed a 14 to 7 lead at the end of the half. The last half found Madison fighting to overcome the lead, but she cracked completely in the last few minutes of play after creeping within three points of a tie, and the final whistle saw the Green and White on the short end of a 30 to 18 score, and our first defeat of the year. Madison expected a hard game with Mascoutah, as that team was tied with Lebanon for first place in the conference. The game started with Madison jumping off to a safe lead, and for the rest of the game Mascoutah was never within 12 points of the Green and White, and the game ended this time with Madison in front by a 25 to 10 count. Madison journeyed to O’Fallon with a large crowd of rooters to try for our second conference victory. The first half of the game was close, and Madison held a scant 16 to 12 lead. Some timely substitutions by Coach Rohe turned the tide and wre spurted during the last half of play to more than double the score on O’Fallon by a 36-15 count. Lebanon came to Madison still undefeated and leading the conference, with Madison having a chance to tie her with a victory. The first half was featured by close guarding on both teams and Lebanon led the half, 7 to 4. The second half saw another two periods of fast play in wiiich Lebanon showed ability to sink their short shots, wiiile Madison kept continually working the ball into Lebanon territory only to miss set-up shots and fumble. The final wTiistle found Lebanon in front, 22 to 14. Mascoutah at Madison Madison At O’Fallon Lebanon At Madison 1927 Page twenty-nine Madison at Mascoutah Our last visiting conference battle was with Mascoutah, who was tied with us for second place. The game for the first three quarters saw Madison continually in the lead, but never for more than 3 points. Mascoutah was played out in the last period and the game ended with another victory over Mas- coutah, this time by a 33 to 23 score. O’Fallon at Madison O’Fallon had yet to win their first conference game, and therefore came to Madison determined to win their last game; but the Green and White, although closely pressed, did not have to exert themselves to win by a 19 to 10 score. The second squad was used for a part of the game. This victory ended our conference schedule and we have 4 victories and 2 defeats, finishing in second place. Non Conference Games Among the most important games played this year were those with Woodriver and Granite City, both teams being strong fives in the Class A Conference group. Madison defeated Woodriver in a walkaway con- test, by a score of 19 to 4; surprised fans by handing Granite City the short end of a 40 to 15 count. Other important victories were those over Venice by 32-2 and 28-3 scores, and the defeat over the strong Barber Asphalt squad, which is the strongest independent team in this part of the state. Brighton High, Madison’s old jinx, was conquered twice dur- ing the year, 27 to 10 in a hard fought game, and 15 to 14 score at Brighton. County Tournament Madison drew Livingston in the first round of the tournament and the Green and White had little trouble in handing them a 32 to 10 defeat. The second squad was used the greater part of the second half, to rest the regulars for the next game with Highland on the following night. High- land fought hard to defeat Madison, but lost after giving us a scare, in a 26 to 18 game. This victory over Highland placed Madison in the Semi- Finals with Collinsville, who handed us the short end of a 32 to 19 score. The team was tired after the two previous contests, while this was the first game for the Collinsville regulars, their second team having beaten Ed wards ville. In the game for third place, Madison trounced Troy by a 46-11 score. sa 192 7 Page thirty V THE MADISONIAN S'eagon’g JBaskettmll Scores M. H.

Sam has one more year in which to star, before leaving M. H. S. HARTLEY, GERALD Gerald, by his brilliant backcourt work, time and again prevented the opposition from scoring. His steady type of play ranks him as one of the best stationary guards that has ever been in Madison High. The school and team will miss him next year. SCHAEFER, BILL Bill’s ability to make follow-up shots, and his height which aids him in sinking short shots, has made him a first class center, who ranks with the best in this section of the state. Schaefer graduates after three years on the team. BONVILLE, LEE Lee, with his fast shots and passing, has aided in making Madison a winning five. His biggest offensive value is the fast close shot, and fol- low-up. Bonville graduates after three years of Madison High Basketball. RUNKLE, RUSSELL Runkle’s fast footwork and passing has made him a valuable asset to the team, while his dribbling has given him numerous shots which are practically sure scores. Rusty leaves after three years on the team. PHIPPS, VIRGIL A fighter and a hard worker whenever in the game. He will be a first class player next year, and will help to maintain Madison’s winning record. S f A 1 92 7 Page thirty-tivo THE MADISONIAN BERGFIELD, DAVID David was a fast and hard man to follow when in action. He is a Senior and will not be able to show his true value next year. A hustler and a fighter, who made the regulars hustle to keep their places. STERLING, TOMMY Sterling, although small in statue, has the speed and shooting abil- ity of the star player, and next year will rank him as such. PAUL ROHE, Coach Since Rohe has taken charge of Madison High’s Basketball Teams, the record for the past three years has been 60 victories, and 12 defeats, or an average record of 20 victories and 4 defeats each season, which is a remarkable record for a school of such small attendance, with little material to pick from. He’s a graduate of Normal, and his knowledge of the finer points of game has made it possible for this fine record. GAIL JOHNSON, Athletic Manager Gail has been Trainer, Assistant-Coach, and Manager to the team for the past three years, and his value is shown also by the small number of injuries that so often keep a team in weak condition. His handling of the equipment on trips has been faultless. FAVORITE SAYINGS OF TEAM IN ACTION Runkel—Nothing to ’em. Bonville—Let’s get going. Schaefer—Tough luck. Harshany—Hey. Hartley—Watch that man. Phipps—Watch me. Sterling—I wish I could get in. Johnson—(Sweet Silence). Rohe—Snap into it, and watch your passes. Pane thirty-three THE MADISONIAN E HSSZffi ©strict ®ournament=== ©ramte Cttp Madison met and conquered Wood River in her first district tilt, by the score of 22 to 20 in a thrilling overtime game. The next game was with Livingston, and with the regulars ahead at the half by an 18 to 2 margin. Coach Rohe sent in the seconds to rest the regulars for the final game that night. The Livingston game ended with Madison on the long end of a 32 to 11 score. Madison, by virtue of her two previous victor- ies,'advanced to the finals for the first time in the history of Madison High. School basketball. Alton was the other team to reach the finals, and was a much heavier team than Madison, but the fast passwork and deadly shooting of the Green and White proved the downfall of Alton, and Madison was victor, 21 to 19, thereby winning first place in the district. This gave us the privilege of entering the Sectional meet held at Salem the following week. Madison met Centralia on the evening of March 17, and was defeated by a score of 38-7. fW.

Gloria, the beautiful daughter, fairly re- vels in their now-found wealth and goes to extremes, when, by a queer turn of events, the fortune is suddenly transferred to Cuppers, the butler, Fortunately for Gloria, she is able to overcome this difficulty by marry- ing him. Cuppers is a good sort and you can’t help liking him but you don’t feel fully satisfied to think he is to control the millions. Developments of the most surprising sort, including the return of Aunt Eliza (for a short time only) occur, and the Fickle Fortune finally finds a permanent place with the people who should have it, namely— Brant and Tony.

It was from my friend, Edmond Cook, who was the proprietor of a leading hotel in Des Moines, Iowa. It read something like this: “Come quickly and avail yourself of a seance with the world’s most renowned medium.” I wired back, “Will be on hand like a sore thumb.” I packed my things, ’phoned my stock and bond office, and told them that I’d be back when I returned, or it might be sooner, but at any rate, I’d be back when they saw me. I took the first train out of Detroit, and before I was comfortably seated, I was pestered by one of those detestable fellows, a train “Butcher.” In order to quench his lust, I purchased a popular magazine, and was idling through it, when it was suddenly snatched from my hands. I looked up and saw a little tot leaning over the seat in front of me, laugh- ing and beating the seat with the magazine. The child’s mother re- buked her, and turned around to apologize for her daughter’s unladylike actions. I immediately recognized her as Eleanor Foehse. I learned that she was going to Ann Harbor to visit relatives of her husband, who was an alderman in a small town in New York State. She also told me that her friend, Lois Brown, was a social welfare worker in Chattanooga. I had to change trains in Burlington. On arriving I found that the train from Burlington to Des Moines was six hours late due to a washout on the line, so I turned my footsteps to the business district. I had heard from Edmond some time before that Lee Bonville was located in Burling- ton, and was in the lumber business there on a small scale. I presently came to a large frame building, and saw a sign which read: LEE BONVILLE—TOOTHPICKS. I went into the store and asked the clerk to see the manager. I presented my card, and he returned with Lee. No—Lee wasn’t married. He was, as he termed it, “a carefree bachelor who knew when he was well off.” I told him the reason for my appear- ance in Burlington, and asked him to go with me to Des Moines. He agreed, gave instructions to his clerk, and took me to his apartment where he hurriedly made ready. We dined and departed for the station. We were met in Des Moines by Edmond Cook. He was the picture of prosperity—from his impeccable attire to his barely visible double chin. He gave us a hearty welcome and on the way to the hotel he proceeded to tell us of the medium about whom he had telegraphed me. First, she was most remarkable for telling the location, and occupation of persons who were scattered in the four corners of the world. Most amazing, too—her Page thirty-six THE MADISON IAIN answers which she received through a seance were correct to a degree which was difficult to contemplate. She was known the world over as the most successful and wonderful protege of the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Edmond had known of my interest in such personages, and that there also was a shadow of doubt in my mind as to their integrity. That, he said, was the reason for summoning me. At the hotel I was formally in- troduced to the medium, Madame Melba and Edmond made arrangements for a seance which was to be held that night. We spent the intervening time in conversation and happy recollec- tion of our High School Days, which, after much discussion were unani- mously pronounced the happiest we had ever spent. Of course the trend of our conversation drifted to our class, but we could not place all the members. Right then, we decided to request the medium during the seance to tell the location and occupation of the members of the class whom we had not seen or heard of recently. The seance was held about midnight. In a dark room seated around a table were Madame Melba. Edmond, Lee, and I. It seemed to be a bad night for her to tune in on wandering spirits. After a half hour elapsed, during which time everything was silent, save for the sound of our heav- ing breathing, three sudden staccato taps were heard, which sounded as if someone was rapping on the table. The medium quietly informed me that a wandering spirit was in the immediate vicinity, and that I should ask whatever question I wished. With my gravest manner I spoke. “Spirit,” (I was about to say, “If you’re not the bunk which I think you are,” but changed my mind, as I had previously been informed that ghosts were easily insulted) “Where are my classmates: Irene Barlow, Reva Bowman, Jennie Rosenstrom, Cleda Stein, Mildred Busby, Opal McFarland, Lenna Little, Russell Wedler, Wm. Schaefer, Russel Runkle, Gerald Hartley, Mike Macek, John Broom- field, David Bergfield, and Robert Clare? What are their occupations?” After a pause of about fifteen minutes a voice suddenly spoke. It said: “Irene Barlow, after a brief career on the stage, married a wealthy ‘butter and egg’ man, and is now living in Palm Beach. “Reva Bowman married her former employer, Mr. Bartley, Vice- President of the First National Bank in St. Louis, and is very prominent in social circles of that city. “Jennie Rosenstrom is the hostess of the Rendezvous Nite Club in Chicago. 1 9 2 7 MawiaaaMMMftwiira Pape thirty-seven the madisonian “Cleda Stein is in New York, and is the prevailing expounder and upholder of Women’s Rights in America. “Mildred Busby is the prosperous proprietor of the Elite Millinery Shoppe in Granite City, 111. “Opal McFarland is the Professor of English in Texas State Uni- versity. “Lenna Little is manager of the Paris Style Co. of St. Louis. “Russell Wedler is the author of four consecutive best sellers in England. “William Schaefer, one of the premier comedians of the American stage, is at present making a vaudeville tour, and is known as ‘the man with the funny hat.’ “Russel Runkle is the sixth vice-president of the American Car Foundry Co., and resides in Madison, 111. “Mike Macek is chief draftsman in the Commonwealth Steel Co., of Granite City, 111. “Gerald Hartley is coach of the State High School Basket Ball Cham- pions of Madison High School. “John Broomfield has been on the last two American Olympic Teams, and is the holder of the decathlon record of the world. “David Bergfield is advertising manager of The Outdoor Advertising Co. of New York. “Robert Clare, the boy’s author, is well known as ‘the second Hor- atio Alger.” The voice ceased as suddenly as it had begun, and we were left sit- ting in the darkened room thinking of the ambitions—some realized and some unfulfilled—of the Class of ’27. —David Friedman. 19 2 7 Page thirty-eight g THE MADISONIAN g PB3 Srf3 Claes Mllll We, the Class of ’27, of the Village of Madison, County of Madison, and State of Illinois, being of sound mind and disposing memory, do here- by make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills, bequests, and devises of whatever nature by us made.

And conversation would run like this: “My dear Edna, please have some tea?” “Well, some,” says Minnie, quite informally, Then Paul would get up and give Delta his seat, So he could sit over by Frieda, so sweet. Hilda, perched on the edge of a table, Drinking as much of the tea as she’s able, Tells how she took Werner when he was just three, To call on some neighbors and maybe had tea. And that tiny wee Shiek, with quite lively grace, Helped himself to the powder, put rouge on his face, All the rest would then cry, that Lonzo won the race, And that in story-telling he took the first place, Then with everybody jolly and rowdy with noise, We would cherish our teachers as just girls and boys.

In honor of the presentation of a large, beautifully colored portrait of Ben Turpin, by the Parent-Teachers Association, the High School pu- pils held a contest among the boys to find who resembled this great actor the most closely. It is generally understood that Mr. Winsor had a very good chance to win, but he was barred from the contest because of his membership in the faculty. Lee Bonville, won by a close margin of only 61-2 votes his nearest rival being Edmond Cook, whose chances were ruined by the circulation of a rumor by the campaigning manager of Mr. Lee Bonville, to the ef- fect that Mr. Cook, had put arsenic in his grandmother’s coffee. Mr. William A. Schaefer and Mr. Gerald Hartley were also close rivals; but Gerald’s chances were reduced to nothing by the revelation of a plot to secure the presidency of the Hi-Y Society to further the interests of his party. Mr. Schaefer withdrew early in the race because of a breach of promise suit. We hasten to congratulate Mr. Lee Bonville, on his successful cam- paigning and for the great distinction he has won for himself. He will be crowned early in July, using the intervening time to practice looking cross-eyed. j , BAFFLING MURDER CASE—POLICE FIND NO CLUE Madison, 111. Feb. 77. (By Assassinated Press.)—A murder which has baffled all attempts of authorities at solution was committed here this morning. The KING’S ENGLISH was murdered in Madison High School, sometime between 9 a. m. and 4 p. m. today. The police immediately arrest- ed Paul Rohe as a suspicious character, because he was always saying, “have saw,” “I done,” etc. but he proved an alibi namely, that he was in Miss Jessop’s room at the time of the tragedy. Warrants have been issued for Isadore Megeff, Gail Johnson, Sam Harshany as suspects. George Darl- ing was seen running away from the scene of action. David Bergfield was arrested, but his friend, Mike Macek, furnished bail, which was fixed at $000,000,007.00. There are many theories advanced as to the cause for the murder, one which is that of revenge, as the victim caused many failures in the last quarterly examination, because of his rigid attitude against the playful habit of mixing tenses and splitting infinitives. The inquest will be held May 25, when Judge Winsor will punish the evil-doer by a year’s sentence in the penal institution of Madison High School. Page fifty-six THE MADISONIAN “What made Mr. Winsor angry?” asked Eugene Swigert’s father. “Oh!” said Eugene, “he was talking about trees, and I asked him if he had ever seen a pink palm.” He said “No” and I showed him my hand. ,« jt jt Nature Study: “What is an octopus?” Stude: “It is an eight sided cat.” , jt jt Winsor to tardy pupil, “Why were you late?” Bill S.: “Well, a sign down here—” Winsor: “Well, what has a sign got to do with it?” Bill: “The sign said, “School ahead—go slow.” , t , You can always tell a Junior by the way he swells his chest; You can always tell a Freshie, for he’s timid at the best; You can always tell a Senior by his haughty looks and such; You can always tell a Sophomore, but you cannot tell him much. ,« j Gail: Did you take a shower? Isadore: No, is there one missing? , jt THERE’S A REASON Fierce lessons. Late hours. Unexpected company. Not prepared. Kicked out of class. , j� DOWN WITH OPPRESSION! It is a shame that teachers are so old-fashioned and kill-joy-like as not to allow a fellow to chewT gum. Gum chewing injures no one and keeps a fellow’s mind off his lessons. It prevents him from getting good grades enough to be an honor student, and thereby saves him from having to write essays that nobody wants to hear. I’m for personal liberty first, last and always. j ,‘t , « Miss Michel: (Sternly) Do you know why you flunked? Robert M: (Angrily) I haven’t an idea. Miss Michel: Right.

History Class (In chorus): Yes! Mr. Winsor: Good! you will probably understand it this time. jt , Gail Johnson—They tell me you are a great artist. How come? Paul Painter—Oh! it runs in the family, you see my father and grand- father were both painters. jt .jt ,-t Roger Studebaker was bragging the other day about what a brave fighting spirit he naturally inherits, his grandfather and General Grant’s uncle have been buried in the same cemetery. V ■. Maurice Carrigan dreamed the other night that a dog was biting him. He kicked at it and broke three of his toes against the wall. Maurice says he is going to sleep with his shoes on from now on. THE MADISONIAN Kenneth Miller courted his girl so much over the telephone last week that one lady burnt up three perfectly good meals while listening in. jt ., ,« The saddest words, the words we hate, are these—Get up it’s after eight. , v , � Why does Isadore change his seat each semester?

He says he’ll either have to lock the dogs out of the house or quit whistling in his sleep. ,4 J� Joke Editor: Where did you get that joke? Sam H.: Oh! just out of the air.
