Why did it seem so wonderful? Why! Because we, the Class of ’29, were to begin the first stage of our journey on the “Road to Suc- cess. Eighty-four bright smiling faces entered school that morn- ing with a determination to win that thing called “SUCCESS. After some difficulty we found our classrooms and became ac- quainted with our teachers. The first year was a glorious one, despite the fact that we were criticised very cruelly by our upper classmen. The first stage of our journey was very rough but now it is becoming smoother. acation time being over, we entered upon the second stage of our journey with tin same determination written upon our coun- tenances. The Sophomore year was a rather difficult one but we conquered it and now with the passing of Geometry we move even more smoothly over ........Road to Success. We returned our third year to find our number had dwindled onsideraId as compared to the previous years. In our Junior year e 1 ied er hard to overcome tin difficulties that confronted us. e ha c the expectations of following in tin footsteps of our pred- ecessors. With this year at a close we are one stage nearer to the goal which we wish to gain. Another September morning we awoke to gaze out upon a morn- ing that more than outshone the morning that we entered high school as 1- reshies. We are now Seniors. Ah! that word which makes the heart swell with pride. This year has been one glorious round of triumph. The last stage of our journey on the “Road to Success” is completed and we aie now prepared to go out and meet the prob- lems of life, whatever they may be. —Ruth and Jessie Page eighteen 19 2 9 THE MADISONIAN SENIOR CLASS POEM We've read the poems of Senior classes Telling how good they were—how each surpasses. How thru’ years of hardship and of strife They had reached success in life. Hut, now, somehow we just can't say Our High School years have been that wav. I hese four years together have not seemed long— Why they ve almost passed bv like a song. W ( can t say we ve struggled or shed any tears For we’ve had no cause to in all the years. Hut it's just thru' willingness all the while That each struggle was made with a smile. As far as sadness is concerned To leave the place where our knowledge was learned Is indeed a sorrow. However, W e're glad to go on working forever. We're only glad to depart from our friends, Because the world on us depends; We know it expects us to do our part, To lay down our old tasks and new ones start. And some day when the time’s at hand We’ll be leaders of our fatherland. Till then, may we never forget the best, And remember our school days at M. IT. K. —Gertrude Bader 19 2 9 Page nineteen ■4-f THE MADISONIAN JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The first step of our career as high school students, began when a group of sixty-six Freshmen gathered in the assembly of Madison High with the hope of finishing what they had started. Our first year was a very busy one, getting acquainted with students, upper classmen laughs to be subdued, and Algebra to be conquered. These things we did faithfully under the excellent supervision of our sponsors, .Mrs. Stive and Mr. Snyder, and our class officers—Dorothy Kobe, President; Viola Franklin, ice- 1'resident; Joe Blumenfeld, Secretary; and John Toncoff, I reas- urer. We are proud to say that our first year was a very encour- aging one. The second year found us more eager than ever. Many had left us, but with vigor we conquered this liability. Our members co-operated splendidly and three of our boys gained distinction in athletics. Our success this year was largely due to our sponsors, Miss Jessop and Mr. Rohe, and class officers Eva asileff, President; John Toncoff, Vice-President; Pansy Cook, Secretary and Treasurer. This year, our Junior year, has been the best in our career. Our work has shown more spirit than ever Indore, and we have “put over” many activities. Our class play, “Re an Optimist,” was Page twenty 19 2 9 a great success, and our wiener roast was the best ever. In ath- letics we just can't be beaten, and we are proud of John Toncoff, our clever basketball captain and “all star athlete. Our Sponsors this year are Miss Jessup and Mr. Reich; and our class officers—David ('onnole, President; Richard Differs, ico-President; John Toncoff, Secretary and Treasurer. If all co-operate as well next year as in the past, we are con- fident that our Senior year will be even more successful and the last step in our career one to he remembered. —Dorothy Rohe “WE JUNIORS” When we Juniors came to High School And walked through the entrance door, We wondered, as all Presides, Just what there was in store. We were looked upon as “Ureenies” As Presides always are, But convinced the upper classmen That we were not “flat tires.” ANith the excellent help of our teachers, We gained some very high scores, A new year dawned at last And we were Sophomores. But during our Sophomore year The time passed all the sooner, And when school again reopened entered full-fledged Juniors. Next year we will he Seniors And when we graduate in May, lOach one of our true classmates W'ill have life’s part to play. And when we think of school days As students always do, We heartily thank each teacher Por the work they helped us do. —Arvel Price 19 2 9 Page twenty-one THE MADISONIAN SOPHOMORE HISTORY Un September sixth, nineteen hundred twenty-seven, fifty-six Freshmen entered the M. 11. S. As we entered tin auditorium to take our choice of seats, tin Seniors seemed to have the laugh on us; then we understood that we were considered “greenhorns.” When we wore seated and peace prevailed throughout the assem- bly, Mr. Winsor, who proved to be our life-saver, explained the bell system to us. My, but the Seniors were downhearted! He had de- prived them of a laugh. After exams we had a Freshman l'arty which was a success. At the close of the second semester some students dropped by the wayside; others kept pushing on toward “Success. Our class Spon- sors were Mr. Delcour and Mr. Winsor. The class officers were: Lloyd Williams, President; Adam Zentgraf, Vice-President; Itichard Mefford, Secretary-Treasurer. On September sixth, nineteen hundred twenty-eight, forty-eight Sophomores came trooping back, while several dropped out com- pletely. This year turned out to be harder than the first, because Geometry could not be mastered with ease by all; still we kept strug- I’aye twenty-two 19 2 9 gling blindly on. At the end of the first semester before “exams,” the Faculty's cry seemed to be, “They shall not pass. ('ramming was our only salvation, what more could we do? After the exams, we had our Sophomore Party which was far different from the first. We did not run through the whole building as we did the year before, but we were more dignified and reserved. We played games in the gym under the direction of our Sponsors, .Miss Smith and .Mr. Delcour. We hope to have another party at tin- close of tin second semester. Our officers are: asil asileff, President; Robert Xewgent, Vice-President; .Melvin Lee, Secretary-Treasurer. The faith we have in ourselves is to te used in gaining the third step of our goal with this motto, “Safe on second, now score.” —Helen Doniff SOPHOMORE POEM One year of high school career has passed, This year we are the Sophomore Class, Still pushing onward toward the goal, Everyone working with heart and soul. Though some of last year friends have dropped, The rest of us can not be stopped, We’ve made up our minds to reach a place And we’ll not stop till we've won the race. Step by step each year we rise, In two more years to reap the prize The prize for which four years we’ve sought, Which time and toil have dearly bought. —Robert Xewgent 19 2 9 Page twenty-three FRESHMAN HISTORY On August thirty-first, ninety-one pairs of eager feet carried into the assembly what was to constitute the largest l-'reshman Class in the history of the Madison High School. Many were the sneers from the upper classmen as we made our stupid errors; but we were dauntless ami kept up the struggle until we had learned the ways of high school life. When the basketball season opened, our hearts were filled with pride and admiration, when we learned that one of our fel- 1 o'w-classmen, Paul Ivelio, was to be a sub on tin first team. We dearly loved and admired our teachers from the start, and if we have vexed them with our mischievous pranks, 1 a in sure we are all truly penitent. Haring the second semester, our Algebra teacher, Mr. sprout, sent his wife to teach us the “type forms,” while he spent several weeks in St. Elizabeth’s Hospital. The smallest teacher in our school, Mr. Delcour, decided that he needed a life partner, lie soon realized that a teacher’s salary would not furnish the luxuries for two; he left the teaching profession, and as a result we have Mr. Iblings on our faculty. Our Freshman Party, given February twenty-first, was a great success, due to the supervision of Miss Jessup and Mr. Kobe. 1929 Page twenty-four s3-f THE MADISONIAN As we trudge along the road to success with Helen Ilarsbany, President; Thomas Studebaker, Vice-President; Pearl Boyd, Sec- retary-Treasurer and Messrs. Kolie and Sprout as our Sponsors we intend to keep in mind our motto: ‘‘Honor lies in Honest Toil. —Pearl Boyd FRESHMEN We've started out the year with eighty, The rugged path to climb, And as we march on toward our goal, We hope to keep in line. We try our teachers to obey And each command to heed, And in behavior, I must say 1 think we take the lead. You ask who does the hardest work I'll tell you in a jiffy, When all the others answer “No” Up steps a bright, young Freshie. The Seniors, Sophs, and Juniors, too, All say we put things over, Before we leave dear M. II. S. You'll find we are not loafers. When we first entered Madison High, They called us, “Green but Growing,” But now they’ve learned to like us, Intelligence they are showing. —Maxine Werner PROFS 1 think that 1 shall never see A Prof who teaches perfectly. A Prof designed to satisfy The most exacting pupil's eye. A Prof with humor, pep and speed For these things are a teacher's need. A Prof unlike in every way The awful Prof's we have today. Prof’s become gray before they should, But only God can make US good! 19 2 9 Page twenty-five ST THE MADISONIAN Farewell to the Seniors Farewell, Seniors of .M. II. S.

Arvel Price, Junior Page twenty-six 19 2 9 ACTIVITIES POPULARITY CONTEST On the preceding page we have a group of popular students in our school. They are not only popular, but they are willing workers as well. When the Seniors began the campaign for selling annuals, they decided to use the Popularity Contest as a selling medium. Each of the under classes was asked to select three boys and three girls as candidates in the contest. Each annual sold, counted as votes for a boy and a girl. The candidates chosen from the Freshman Class were Elizabeth Lee, June Fogle, Helen Harshany, Dan (Iraville, Rruce Hill and Thomas Studebaker. The Sophomores chose Helen Doniff, Helen Kawalinski, Edith Kay, Richard .Mefford, Vasil Vasileff and Lloyd Williams. The Juniors selected Eva Vasileff, l'ansy Cook, Janet AlcEhvain, David Connole, John Toneoff and James Hinde. The seven students receiving the highest number of votes were declared the winners of the contest. The Staff wishes to thank all those who took part in the con- test and also all those not in the contest for their help in selling the annuals. COMMERCIAL CONTEST On May 4, eleven students of the Commercial Department en- tered the District Contest at Alton. This contest is held as a pre- liminary to the state contest at Normal, Illinois. All individuals and teams who place first or second in the district are entitled to enter the stati meet. Madison students were very fortunate as they placed in every event they entered and in some events they took first and second places. The Junior Shorthand team, composed of Pansy Cook. Kathryn Phelan and Eva Vasileff took first place as a team; Kathryn Phelan and Pansy Cook won first and second places respectively as in- dividuals. The Junior Typing team composed of Theo Tyrpak, Kathryn Phelan, Dorothy Rohe, and Janet AlcElwain won first place, and Theo Tyrpak placed first as an individual. The Senior Shorthand team, Ruth Overbey, Dorothy llazner and Miriam Schermer, entered the SO-word and the 100-word con- test in Shorthand. As a team they took first place in the 100-word and second place in the SO-word. Ruth Overbey took first as the individual in ■ the SO-word, second in the 100-word, and .Miriam Schermer took second in the SO-word. In Typewriting Dorothy llazner easily lead all individual events; Gertrude Rader took second place in the open contest. The typing team composed of Dorothy llazner, Gertrude Rader, .Miriam Scher- mer and Norman Kinder took first place. ..m ig, i’aye twenty-eight 19 2 9 .THE MADISONIAN SIONIOI!

The Lyceum Course consisted of ten numbers, all of which were very good and enjoyed by all those who attended. The grade schools were given the privilege of sharing the pleasure with us. On October 12, (lie C. L. Kraut . Concert Company was the first number in the series of programs to entertain us. This company was a family of musicians and their music was enjoyed very much. I he next program on November 12, was the impersonator, C. L Burderfeir. 11 is many jokes and impersonations of country folks were very interesting. On the afternoon of November 20 the school was surrounded with mysteries because the T'lrich Company, a group of magicians was booked for the next entertainment. The program pleased every- one that was present. The next was .Mr. A. I,. Flude, who gave a travel talk on Japan. Four high school girls were dressed to represent the natives of Ja- pan. The American (5lee Club was the next one to furnish the en- tertainment. The music and singing, especially the bell-ringing, was enjoyed. The Pigeon Man, Mr. Hollmau, had many intertesting things to tell us concerning the service of the pigeons during the late war. This number was especially interesting to the children of the grades because quite a few of them were found to be raising pigeons. An exceptionally large crowd attended this program. On February 2N, the school was delightfully entertained by the Filipino Quartet. The music of the stringed instruments and the piano solos was splendid. This number was one of tin best of the series. The last three numbers in this series of programs were Fred (S. Bale, Lecturer, Loseffs Russian Orchestral Quartet and Glenn L. Morris, the Science Demonstrator. The students have been pleased with these programs this year and hope that the school will be fortunate enough to have them continued next year. Page thirty 1 9 2 9 THE MADISONIAN THE SCIENCE CLUB On September 15, 1!)2N, ;t Science t'lub was organized in the high school. The purpose of this club is to promote scientific inter- est. among the students. At the first meeting, Curtis Williams was elected President; .Melvin Lee, Vice-President.; and .Margaret Hayes, Secretary with .Mi . Ueich as Sponsor. The club meets the first Thursday (“ve- iling in the month, and scientific experiments are performed or problems concerning science are discussed by the members. 'I Ik following officers were elected during tin second semester .Marcella athen, President; Hruce Hill, Vice-President; and Clif- ford Cozart, Secretary. On February 14, the club gave a Valentine party, which everyone present enjoyed. The following Thursday tin members went to the Venice- High School, where they gave a scientific play, which illus- trated the progress made in aviation, communication, health, astron- omy, archeology, chemistry, physics, transportation, and engineer- ing. Later they were entertained by members of the Venice Science Club, with several interesting experiments. At the beginning of the term, the Curtis Publishing Company sent their representative, Mr. J. Horrigan, to organize the student body into two groups, appoint leaders and a secretary, and give instructions as to how their publications, namely: The Ladies’ Home Journal, Saturday Evening Post, and Country Gentleman, were to be sold. The object of this activity was to earn money to buy books for the library. Approximately one-third of the money received as sub- scriptions to these magazines, amounting to eighty dollars, was given to the school for this purpose. Not only did the school reap benefits from this, but the students as well, for awards were given to those selling a certain number of subscriptions. The leaders of this drive were Dorothy Ilazuer and Melvin Hebert, who were assisted by various helpers. Miriam Kchermer acted as secretary-treasurer. The books obtained in this manner, which were about seven- ty-five in number, consist of fiction, biography, history and travel. They have been widely used and appreciated by the students for Heading Circle and English Work. ...... «..•-••Vfi 1 9 2 9 O.e-- .-O f� Competitive Magazine Selling Club Page thirty-one JUNIOR WIENER ROAST In tin latter part of September, the Junior «'lass entertained themselves and the Faculty by having a wiener roast. The Stu- dents and teachers were taken to ('amp Coudy in machines— that is, they were taken to the main road that leads past the camp. It was a difficult walk from the main road back through the shrub- bery and woods, over narrow bridges and along one-way paths with onlv one flashlight to show us the way. Hut finally we came to an open space and there we saw the fire burning brightly. Several of the boys acted as a committee to cut sticks to roast the wieners on, and soon everyone was busy toasting wieners, then marshmallows, and finally apples. The latter part of the evening was spent in singing and perform- ing stunts. The « lass was accompanied by the Junior Sponsors, Miss Jessop, and Mr. Iteicli; also Miss Smith, Miss Michel and Mr. liohe. Students and teachers agreed that they had had a very pleasant evening. HI-Y CLUB The Hi-V ('lub was organized in order that the high scl.1 boys might meet and discuss the problems that confront every boy. Mr. Delcour acted as Sponsor of the club and assisted the boys in Solv- ing these problems. Mr. ITeob, assisted by Mr. Maticka of the V. M. «'. A. in (iranite City, has had charge of the work during the second semester, due to Mr. Delcour’s resignation from Ihe M. II. S. The club has been of valuable service to the students. 1 he hovs have sponsored a course « f ethical lectures, which have been delivered by V. M. C. A. men before the student body during the assembly periods. The officers for the, first semester were Itoger Studebaker President; James Hinde, Vice-President; Elmer Lipscomb, Secre- tary; and Virgil Phipps, Treasurer. John Toncoff, President; James Hinde, Vice-President; David Connole, Secretary; and asil as- ileff. Treasurer have been acting during the second semester. At tin close of the school term the Hi-Y Club will hold its an- nual picnic. 1929 Page thirty-two ATHLETICS THE MADISONIAN Although put to considerabit disadvantage by the lack of height and weight, the team this year made it up in knowledge of the fine points of the game and fast pass-work. By defeating every team in our conference and also finding time to defeat a few of the best teams in tin Southwestern Conference, the team finished the season with a perfect percentage of 1,000 thereby gaining the name of the “Undefeated Champions of the Cahokia Conference. Because the team was small in stature, it was a general be- lief that they would not get very far against the heavier teams of the Conference, but Coach Kolie through bis untiring efforts managed to create a fighting and scoring five that could pile up so many points in the early stages of the game that it was imposs- ible for the opponents to overcome their lead. 1 he tirst game of tin- season with Venice brought out a record-breaking crowd curious to know what kind of a team ('oacli Kobe had. The team showed their ability by decisively defeating Venice with a score of Ho to 5, which was a tvpical score of the many victories that were to follow. 1 he five-man defense was used with short fast passes in the offensive. Three of the men. Sterling, Phipps and Blnmenfehl are Seniors and will leave school this year. We are sorry to see them go because it will break up one of the fastest passing and greatest scoring quin- tets Madison ever had. 19 2 9 Page thirty-three Inter-Conference Championship Game Oil Saturday, March 2, I lit team journeyed to Ed wards ville to piny tin Collinsville Kahoks” for llie Inter-Conference Champion- ship. Before a record breaking crowd of 180(1 people the Madison “Quintet” after winning eighteen straight victories, showed a poor brand of basketball, unusual for such a team. The game started with a Madison basket, but when Collinsville tied the scon and forged ahead Coach Kobe's five slowed up, and very seldom showed (lit usual snappy teamwork. This was tin down- fall of Madison's high hopes, the game ended 20-13. Although we lost, this game put the team on fighting edge for the District Tournament, in which we wen slated to play Collinsville. The District Tournament The 1929 District Tournament was held at the new Edwards- iHe g,' ni, March -8-9. Madison with a record of eighteen victories and one defeat, drew Highland, another Class A team, as their oppo- nents. The Madison five had a fairly easy time in beating Highland by a score of 32-23 Friday morning and Collinsville, heavy favorites for tin Tournament, decisively defeated Alton 41-25. In the quarter-final Madison entered the fray with Collinsville, determined to avenge their previous setback. The game started well for our side as Madison scored (lie first six points, but tin giant Mus- so and the equally competent Captain Klobuchcr surged through the Madison defense and soon Collinsville was in the lead, never to be headed. The score at the half was 17-19, in favor of the Kahoks. Mad- ison came back strong for the third quarter and ran the score up to within two points of Collinsville. However it was only momentarily as the purple horde made several baskets to mount the score to 24-17 with Madison on the wrong end. At the last quarter Captain Klo- bucher of Collinsville suggested that stalling would be in order and the Kahoks were so adept at this that the Green and White only made two points in the last quarter. The game ended with Collins- ville showing their supremacy and eliminating Madison from fur- ther Tournament competition by a score of 28-19. Saturday afternoon the surprise of tin Tournament came when Livingston, a Class B team, defeated Collinsville 14-12. This left Granite City an easy opponent for the finals and Granite won 23-. . 1 9 2 9 Page thirty-four PERSONALS TONCOFF (Captain) A It hough not the largest member of the squad, John is rated as one of the best guards in the Conference. His dead eye aim on long shots lias helped in running up many of the large scores. He starts most of the plays and thru his cunning and his perfect pas- ses the forwards are able to make many shots. This is Johnnie’s second year as captain of the team. He has one more year to show his ability as a high school athlete. PHIPPS Virgil has wound up his career as a basketball star in a blaze of glory. Having played for the Green and White for four years, he is graduating with many honors. This year his experience has aided the team in conquering many opponents. The team will regret the loss of this valuable star. STERLING I'ommy s value to the team cannot be expressed in words. His un- canny shooting ability and exceptional floorwork has fitted in the High School machine to perfection. The exceptional record of lo2 points in twelve games has made 'I'ommy high-point man of the Con- ference. This is his last year as a high school player. RLFMENFELD This is Joe’s last year on the team. His ability to take the ball off the back board has started many plays which result in many baskets. His long arms have intercepted many passes. Coach Kobe will have a hard time in developing another star like Joe. WILLIAMS A small player who makes up for his lack of height bv his ag- gressiveness and ability to sink long shots. His speed and accurate passing have baffled many of his opponents. Lloyd has two more years to add to his laurels. KELIO A Freshman who has attained what all boys desire, a chance to play in important games. Paul played center in a few of the games and is already a valuable player. In three more years he should be- come a star. 19 2 9 Page thirty-five THE MADISONIAN jjfe McCART Everett is almost sure of holding a position on next year's team. Already he lias played in many of the (’onferenee games and has shown that he is a good guard. He has two more years to play for Coach Kobe. THE SECOND TEAM This year Madison also had a regular second team, composed of: Studebaker, captain; Lybarger and Price, forwards; S. Sawicki, cen- ter; Zentgraf, Vasileff and C. Williams, guards. The team played several of the ('onferenee second teams and finished above the 500 mark. In this manner next year's first squad candidates received valuable knowledge. STUDENT .MANACEl! Al Weisman, the cheer leader and student-manager has proven himself adept in both of his tasks. There is no doubt that the cheers Al produced won some games for the Green and White.

As this is the first year that tennis lias been played between the schools to any great extent, il is rather uncertain what the outcome will be. Hut due to the quality and not the quantity of the athletes it is expected that Madison will la as successful in this sport as we are in all other sports in which we participate. Mr. Iblings will coach those who wish to enter tennis. 19 2 9 Page thirty-seven BASEBALL Prospects for a championship baseball team this year are very promising as practically all the letter men of last year are back. In speaking of the team, we must not forget the new recruits because “a team is as strong as its weakest man.” Last year’s nine shares the limelight with I his season’s bas- ketball team. By defeating every team in the (’ahokia Conference, Madison won a permanent Trophy which is now on display in. our trophy case. With the enthusiasm of the student body, the exper- ience and confidence of the team, and last but not least, Coach Kobe's knowledge and training wo should be able to duplicate this record and add another trophy to our rapidly increasing collection. The letter men of last year who are back for baseball this year, are as follows: Toncoff, Zentgraf, Price, Cook, Phipps, Blumenfeld, Sawicki, Williams, Xewgent.

Witnesses— Bruce Hill Herman Bader 19 2 9 Page forty-three CLASS PROPHECY Dearest Friend Miriam: I ran hardly believe that twelve years ago tonight we were graduated from the Madison High School. All this day I have lived in memories of that glorious year of 1929, and have been thinking especially of yon, and wondering what you are doing. If you recall, the last time 1 saw you was ten years ago, when we both attended ilia Alumni Kanquet held at the ('base Hotel in St. Louis. Since then, it seems that our class has drifted apart, and we have not been able to reassemble at another banquet. Nevertheless, since my work takes me practically all over the United States, 1 have often had the pleasure of meeting many of our old classmates. No doubt, you have experienced the same. I know that you must be anxious to hear about the ones whom I have met, and I am equally anxious to hear from you concerning the others. Of course, Leo Scliermer must have told you of our meeting in Flor- ida last winter; that is how I got your address, you know. We both happened to be there on our vacations and incidentally spied each other while down at the beach. Although he is a great deal stouter than lie was ten years ago, I would have known his face in a million. I hope that In told you about iola Franklin. Sin is assisting me in directing plays, but is soon to become a star in the Shakespearean plays. I always did think Vi had a lot of dramatic talent, and this proves it. I wo years ago I decided to establish Kxpression Schools in sev- eral cities in Texas, but 1 had some difficulty in doing it, since Texas had a certain law which prohibited people from other states to es- tablish schools without special permission from tin (lovernor. Since I was determined to succeed in this enterprise, I knew there was nothing to do but arrange for a conference with the Governor. At first I was afraid that 1 would not be permitted to carry out my plan, but Miriam, as soon as 1 saw him, I knew that 1 would succeed. You could never guess in a thousand years who was the Governor. He was Kassel North. Well, we certainly had a pleasant time together, but I cannot include the things we did in this letter because 1 have a host of other things to tell you about. I hope you have heard the latest news or else seen it in the papers—Herbert Giese of our Senior class, recently completed the first non-stop flight around the world in daylight—isn't that remark- Page forty-four 19 2 9 THE MADISONIAN able? He calls his plane the ‘‘.Madisonian, which is quite clever, 1 think. Lindbergh was good in his day, but he certainly hasn't a thing on Herbert now. Then there is another whom 1 must tell you about and that is Jessie Beyer. I see her quite often, Miriam, because she also lives here in Chicago. She is now the Chief Executive of all the B. V. B. C. organizations in the United States. Sin loves her work, but always did years ago, if you remember. She corresponds with ltuth Overby, since they were always such good friends. Ruth, she says, is private secretary to the President at Washington. Do you recall how fast she used to read her shorthand and how well? She told Jessie that Velma Yielding is now married and lives in a palatial home in California. It certainly thrills me to hear about so many of them; 1 get so excited when I think of our class that I can hardly write, but I must go on. Miriam, you know how I have always dreamed and planned of a trip to Europe ? My dreams came true last summer- I went on this trip via New York, and while I am speaking of that, 1 must tell you of a little trageely that be fe ll me. However, this tragedy ended very happily. The train which I was e� n met with a wreck while in Pennsylvania. There were twenty people hurt, and 1, unfortunately, was among them, although mine was only a slight injury. However, we were all rushed to the city hospital, and since I was anxious to be on my way as seam as possible I asked that the best nurse in the community be called to take care of me. Miriam, till my dying day, I shall neve r forget the feeling that swept over me when I gazed into that nurse's face. We were both speechless, but not for long, henvever, because it was Elizabeth McDonald, anel we had tea� much te� say to each other to waste time. My trip was delayed a week and I spend all that time with her. She had not heard of many of our classmates. Blanche Me- Brian, she said, was teaching English at a Woman's College in Vir- ginia anel Mary Levy had a Ceuiservatory of Music in St. Louis. She studied under Paelerewski for two years. Elizabeth gave me Mary’s address and I wrote to he r last month. She answered my letter say- ing how glael she was to ree-eive it, anel she tells me also that her cousin, Zelela User, is the manager of several large clothing houses in St. Louis. But m w I must take yem back to my trip to Europe , after I had left Elizabeth. When 1 arrived in New York, I was informed that my s tea mew would not le ave for two days. And, since I had plenty of time , I would have several eif my elresse s cleaned which liael be eu soiled while 1 was in Pennsylvania. 1 secured a e ity eli- rectory and began looking at the list e� f names e f the cleaning Page forty-five 19 2 9 companies to find an exclusive one near by the hotel. 1 stopped suddenly, and stared on the page at the name Bruder Cleaning Co. Something told me that the owner was Donald. I had met with so many unexpected surprises by this time that 1 was really ready to lieve anything. “Anyhow,” 1 reasoned with myself, “There is noth- ing to keep me from finding out whether it is he or not. It was Don, just as I had surmised, in the same good spirits as always. |l must add that his company certainly did fine work on my dresses.) Two days later 1 was on my journey across the Atlantic. That trip was more delightful than I had ever anticipated. One night as I was scanning the heavens, looking at the beautiful stars, some one tapped me on the shoulder. I was frightened at first, then a kindly voice said, “Are you Gertrude Bader?” 1 glanced around and seeing that it was the Captain, answered, “Yes, but wondered all the while how he could know my name. He asked me if I knew him and I told him that I did not. But no sooner had 1 spoken the words, and seen him smile than I wanted to take those words hack, for it was irgil Phipps—the Captain of the ship—can you imagine it—why of course you can. That shortened my trip, as yon might know, and it seemed that we had only been together a day or two when the steamer landed. Of course, after arriving in Europe, I wanted to see everything and every place, especially Paris. And to Paris 1 went. I verilv be- lieve that I visited every shop, store and theater there, but now I'm quite glad that I did, for in my visitings 1 chanced to run into a very attractive looking hairdressing parlor I asked to see the manager and was informed that there were two of them. A little while later two chic-looking ladies appeared in the waiting room. Without a moment's hesitation I rushed upon them and em- braced them for I recognized them to be .Modena Goode and Irene Hayes. l 'or a while they were awe stricken, because I suppose that I did act like a maniac. I learned that they were expert coiffeurs and that they were the originators of all tin latest styles in hair- dress. I couldn't stay with them very long, but we made the best of our time. I wanted to include China in my tour since I had missionary friends there, and in doing so I found that China was all and more than I had expected. The Chinese are so very interesting, I think. But there was something there that interested me far more than the Chinese. It was to learn that Leo Alvev owns a prosperous ci- gar manufacturing company there, lie has several thousand Chi- nese men working for him. Ho is married and I enjoyed meeting 1929 Page forty-six his wife. After ji stay of two weeks there 1 was at last ready to start homeward, feeling that my trip had indeed not been in vain. 1 was more than thrilled to see America again. 1 almost forgot to tell you about Walter Tyrpak and Vincent ondra. They arc both artists for the Central Engraving Shop in St. Louis. Does that name seem familiar to you? It is the company which did the engraving for our Annual when we were Seniors. The hour is getting late now and 1 just must retire, since 1 have to leave for St. Louis in the morning, and I am sorely in need of rest. If it were not for that, I could go on writing all night and never finish telling you the many things 1 have in mind. But I'll do that in another letter. 1 will be expecting an answer from you very soon, our friend and old classmate, —Gertrude Bader Dear Gertrude: I certainly was surprised to receive a letter from you after all these years and I had to stippress an I told you so when Leo told me that you were a teacher of expression and a director of plays after the school of Eva Le Gallienne, instead of a foreign missionary as you said you would be. on ask for news of the class and believe me, I can supply it. Last summer I went on a buying trip for my Personality Shop, in which my able salespeople determine the clothes to be worn by blonde, brunette, and Titian types. Evona Doyen is my designer and has been with me since she was graduated from art school. But to get to the point, as I was on my way to New York I met on the train, Dorothy Ilazner, and between the two of ns, we had a time. She was having a short vacation from her work which is, of course, acting; singing and giving impersonations on the Or- pheum Circuit. She is one person whose former actions indicated her career. Dorothy, too, wanted to know about all of our classmates so we decided to spend most of our time together and look some of them up. As we walked into tin hotel where we had rooms togeth- er, whom should we see but Jack Pearce, who was manager of the hotel. Isn’t it strange how all the boys whom we thought would turn out to be pharmacists fooled us? For instance, Bennie Abram- owitz is making a name for himself as a concert violinist. 1 am surprised that you did not see him when you were in Europe, as 19 2 9 Page forty-seven he was there at that time. If you ever read the sport pages of the newspapers, you no doubt have eoine across some of the stories and articles of Harry Cook, who writes for a news syndicate, And last but not least, Elmer Lipscomb is owner of a chain of grocery stores in Iowa. Hut here are some bigger surprises. We were very tired after our journey and decided to spend the evening in our room listening to the radio which had been furnished by the management. We tuned in and over the air came a familiar voice which said: “This is Station W.MIIS broadcasting from the gymnasium of the Mad- ison High School, where Tom Sterling's quintet gains a victory over (iranite City. History is certainly repeating itself for Madison is still defeating Granite City. Of course that is natural with Tom- my as coach. The announcer continued speaking and try as we would, we were unable to determine whose voice it was until he said, This is Norman Kinder announcing, now turning the microphone over to Miss Lela Mrooinfield, the Fairy Lady, who will now tell the kiddies their bedtime story.” This was too much for one night. Fancy Norman Kinder as a radio announcer and Lela Broomfield as a fairy lady with her raven locks! Wince it was only eight o'clock, Dorothy and I went up to the broadcasting station to sec1 them and the station. Still deter- mined to get to bed before the wee hours of the morning, we left them at eleven and started walking to our hotel, which was but a short distance away. As we were crossing the street, (rather slow- ly I must admit) we naturally, being in New York, were run down by a truck and were treated to a bawling out by the driver who was, by the way, Curtis Williams. We discovered this at once, but he didn't until he was through with his tirade. When he did find it out his apologies were profuse and he insisted upon taking us to a hospital where our injuries might be treated. On the way there, he told us that lie was a professional track star, keeping in trim by hauling coal and ice. Our injuries proved to be slight as our doctor and nurse told us, but you can never guess who they were. Stanley Sawicki and Edith Brown! Neither of them are as quiet as they were, but are just as good natured. Stanley is head doctor and Edith is head nurse, or whatever they are called. They told us that Irene Wood and Norma Stuart were teaching for a while, but they had both married doctors from Indiana. Speaking of medicine, Joe Blunien- feld is a dentist in dear old Madison. Page forty-eight 19 2 9 THE MADISONIAN Our stay was drawing to a close so we decided to see some of the finer sights of New York; consequently, after much delib- eration we chose the Metropolitan Opera, where the prima donna is our golden-voiced soprana, Eva Shipeoff. After the performance we went back stage to see her and she was delighted with our visit. We did not stay with her long as we had to pack, and the next morning we left for home. Shortly after this, Dorothy filled an engagement she had in California, but she still writes to me. I will send you her address when I answer her letter, for she is very anxious to hear from you. As I look over your letter and mine, I see that Ave have ac- counted for everyone in the class except Leo Schermer, but 1 sup- pose you know that he is Attorney-General. This seems to be all that I can Avrite at this time, and really I think it is enough. The time is getting late and I must go to bed. I shall no doubt dream of you and of the other members of the ( lass. For a night, I shall live in the past and 1 am sure that my dreams shall not be unpleasant. Please write to me Avhenever the spirit moves you and 1 hope that it may do so often. Your classmate, —Miriam Schermer CELEBRATED SAYINGS It isn't the original cost; it's the upkeep.—Solomon.

Said the ga toman to the people, “Step in and take a seat, The Juniors are playing their Iasi game today, And have never met defeat.” The Seniors first were beaten, The score was three to four, The Presides were the next we walloped, And Boy!! they sure were sore. The Sophs yelled for the Seniors, Hut we beat them just the same, And to show the Sophs just who was who, From them we won the next game. The Presides tried again To win from us our fame, lint we were too strong for such a bunch, And soon they were quite tame. So when we Juniors are friendless, And all the world seems blue, We’ll “Snap Out Of It” as our Coach used to say, And remember our victories at school. —A couple of Juniors A FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY THAT WE NEVER READ ABOUT. In the year 1925 our Freshman Class of sixty-eight pulled into Madison High School, the school with the band-box gym. We were not green Freshmen and we knew the purpose of the bells in the assembly room. When the bells rang to go to classes, we did not lose our- selves in the corridors, but with an unerring instinct started for our first period classes. In sports our indoor team came in last iu the interclass tournament. However, one of the boys had a high batting average of .196. Our Freshman Class distinguished themselves in basketball as John Smith was chosen cheer leader. We do not want to become Seniors because we are loyal to our class and wish to remain as Frosh for a few years more. Page fifty 19 2 9 THE MADISONIAN The following compositions were written by Freshmen in Eng- lish I classes. Mother is now aged and gray, bill she shall always continue to be my pal and companion. Her locks, which were at one time golden, are now silver, and her eyes are a faded blue, but they still possess (lie twinkle of understanding. I lie lines of experience can well be seen upon her thin pale face, but nevertheless, the sunny smile, which represents her dis- position, never leaves her pallid lips. Her hands are work worn, but tin things she has done for me and others can never be forgotten. 1 hroughoiit the days of my childhood, she was always patient, kind, and loving, even when I was rude and indifferent. When 1 go to her with my petty quarrels and troubles, she understands. I he sweetness and gentleness of her voice strengthens me as no- thing else can for everyone knows the depths of a mother's love. We will let high school represent a hospital. We have here sitting near the patient’s bed the doctor, trying to persuade the patient to take one of the pills which is lying on the table. The doc- tor takes one up and tries to give it to the patient, but he cries out, It is bitter! The doctor, having quieted his patient, says, “Those pills are the only means through which you will be able to regain your strength.” In high school we have the teacher who is there to teach the pupil four subjects each year, necessary for the advancement of our education. As an illustration, I let tin doctor represent the teacher; four pills the four subjects, and the doctor’s patient, the high school pupil. The patient took these four pills because he wanted to regain his health. Health represents tin pupil's education. Through an ed- ucation one is able to be successful in life. ft A 1 9 2 9 ....... o..— ..o n MOTHER Why I Like High School Page fifty-one THE MADISONIAN REMINISCENCES It's funny but it's proved the test, The hardest things in life are best; Yes—even in our high school years, Our benefits at first were fears.

If you look at one of these notes, as they prove to be� , you will find written the old legend, “Are you going to the game Friday night? The next layer or strata of papers are the regulation size. They contain numerous figures which at first look like ancient hieroglyphics but turn out to be Freshman Algebra papers. Mixed with them are figures that resemble the blue print of the new gymnasium but they are really discarded Geometry prob- lems. On the top of the papers is perhaps a test paper of a Junior. If you examine it closely you will notice that the grade is 4(5. That clear- ly shows why you found that particular paper in such a place. Most numerous of the papers in the waste basket, however, are jokes for the Weekly Blah that have been discarded by the Joke Editor. This is from a reliable authority, namely, Mr. I. Lewis. The notes found in the basket remind you of an Inter-Class Tournament as they are from Senior to Freshman, Junior to Senior, Junior to Soph., etc. On top of the waste basket are several “Weekly Blahs. You may think from that, that the papers are no good, but tin fact of the matter is, the Freshmen like the paper so much that they bin- least five copies every Thursday to show their school loyalty.

Your friend will no more bang a lantern in that tower tonight than I'll fly across the ocean. You'll catch your death of cold out here in this chilly air April has the chilliest air. Nonsense! that isn’t a lantern, Paul! That's a shooting star. “XVell, all right then, it is a lantern. It certainly took him a long time to hang it. You’d think we had nothing else to do tonight. “PAPE! How dare you throw me up on that horse like that! Yon might have broken my “WAIT TILL I GET ON! Suppose it does take a minute longer to get started. You'd think the world depended on your taking that message tonight. I'll wager tomorrow would do just as well just as LOOK OPT for that hitching post. What a rider you are! If I hadn't yelled you'd have struck that post and killed us both. .Miss- ed it by a mile? You did not! “Left! Left!! Turn Left! The road to Middlebury is left. If you'd only listened to me in the first place you wouldn't have to go back. You never pay any attention to me Paul Revere!! Such language. Suppose I did make it mistake, you didn't know the right road did you? Stop! Stop!!! Stop! You didn't have to stop so sharp.

Well, I suppose if tin ('«doilies get free they'll make good that chicken for you? Yes. Ooooooh! Look out. There’s a wagon ahead Where? 'there Well, suppose it was only it cow’s shadow? Wasn’t it better to stop and find out it was only a cow's shadow than to hit it and find out it was a wagon? Stop What for? I've lost my handkerchief Stop 1 tell you. At this point Paul goes mad, and thinking he is a rabbit drives down a rabbit hole and is never heard of again.
