Its membership was composed of the officers of each class, two representatives, and three officers elected from the student body at large; a president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer. The officers for this year were John Toncoff, president, Roger Studebaker, vice-president, and Kathryn Phelan, secretary-treasurer. The Council has done several things for the benefit of the school. In December it took charge of a magazine sales campaign. Half of this money was used to buy new books for the library and the other half went to the Athletic Association.

(Continued on Page 76) School O’ Mine Gee! I hate to leave you, Dear old School o’ Mine; I shudder when I think of it, Leaving all you hold so fine. All the things I’ve learned to love, Even things I think I hate; Are going to seem so precious As I walk through your dear old gate. The tests, the trials and joys I’ve spent within your walls, Will all be strangely longed for— But still I must go on, not fall. I’ll have to learn to conquer All these longings in my heart, And remember some wise saying, That all things end and start. But just the same I can’t forget, No matter how hard the climb, I’ll never forget how I hated to leave This dear old School o’ Mine. —Dorothy Rohe.

FOOTBALL Approximately two weeks after school opened in September, the ath- .etes received a pleasant surprise when the call was issued in summoning candidates interested in football. This was the first attempt made by our athletic department to install football on a par with basketball. In response to the first call, twenty-five youths, ranging from Fresh- men to Seniors, turned out. Twenty-four suits were obtained and prac- tice began immediately. The boys went through hard, gruelling practice sessions in attempting to learn the fundamentals and rudiments of the game. At the close of this time, eleven boys were molded into what ap- peared to be a well-oiled machine. Mr. Rohe and Mr. Sprout thought that the boys could improve their play by engaging Granite City, 1928 Southwestern Champs. Although the game resulted in a Madison defeat, the boys gained a great deal of experience, as was displayed in later games. Page twenty-eight CONXOLE LYBARGER PRICE RIDDLE TONCOPF Tackle. Halfback Halfback End Halfback Belleville was the next school visited by our boys, and as was ex- pected, the Dutch defeated us quite handily, due to the brilliant work of Cole and Patterson. The Maroon Devils were ultimately declared the Champs of Southwestern Illinois. The boys rose to their greatest height in the game with the Wood River High eleven. Displaying the best game they played during the whole year, the Green and White gridders went down to defeat gamely, losing by the score 7 to 6. Several times during the game, Madison had chances to score but breaks of the game thwarted our attempts. During the game Roger Studebaker had the distinction of making the first touch- down made in the history of M. H. S. football. Collinsville and East St. Louis, members of the Southwestern Conference, also were returned vic- tors over the green eleven, but not until they knew that they were in a battle. After suffering many defeats, the Hub-Towners tasted victory, their first victims being the East St. Louis Junior High eleven. The score was 13 to 0, with Lee accounting for all the touchdowns. His fleetness thrilled the many fans who attended the game. The team showed semblance of becoming a strong offensive machine. In winning only one game out of six the boys scored six touchdowns, Lee and R. Studebaker each registering three. On defense, our boys were not quite able to cope with stronger and more experienced teams. Page twenty-nine ULFFERS R. STUDEBAKER McCART LEE VASILEFF Guard End Center Halfback Fullback Backfield men who shone during the season, were, Vasil Vasileff, John Toncoff, Melvin Lee, Woodrow Lybarger, Arvel Price, and Tom Stude- baker. From the first eleven that played this year, eight men will return to form the nucleus around which to build next year’s team. A great deal of credit must be given to Mr. Rohe and Mr. Sprout for their work in molding the team together. Also, the scrubs must be given credit, as they turned out night after night, and willingly became adver- saries for the first team. Football, all summed up, gained success at Madison High School. Next year, as a member of the Southwestern Conference, Madison should be up among the leaders at the close of the season. NORNBERG T.

BASKETBALL Basketball enjoyed its best year at Madison High School this year. By advancing to the semi-final round in the Sectional Tournament, the 1929-30 basketball team went farther toward the state championship than any other cage team carrying Madison colors. Also, the team this year won the championship in the Cahokia Conference for the second con- secutive year. To climax their year’s achievements, the Hub-Towners captured the district Tournament title at Edwardsville. All summed up, it can be said that the past year was one of the best in the history of Madison High. Coach Rohe had as a nucleus for his team, two men, John Toncoff and Lloyd Williams. When Lloyd was declared ineligible about a week before the season opened, Coach Rohe stared into the eyes of defeat. But capable reserves were on hand for the first game with Lebanon, which was won by our boys, 18 to 13. The team that faced Lebanon that cold November night was very different from the five that played Olney in the Sectional tourney. Williams was reinstated in time for the Collinsville fray, which open- ed our new $25,000 gym. The Kahoks went down to defeat 20-9, and thus Paye thirty-one TONCOFF WILLIAMS PRICE RIDDLE McCART our losses at their hands the previous year were avenged. Freeburg, O’Fallon, Dupo and Mascoutah fell before the Green and White Cagers in prompt order. Then came Madison’s first defeat of the year, and with it went our hopes of repeating last year’s performance. Our conquerors were the Granite City High dribblers and the score was 30-19. After this game, the team slumped—winning and losing in streaks. The Freeburg High team, which had succumbed to our boys earlier in the season, caught our team at its worst and the result was Madison’s first conference defeat in two years. Granite City and East St. Louis duplicated Freeburg’s performance. After showing a little resemblance of their old form in the second O’Fallon game, the Hub-Towners again slumped, and lost their second conference game to Dupo. The score was 29-14. This placed Madison and Dupo in a tie for first place, and they finished in that same order. But it was discovered that Dupo had an ineligible on their team, and consequently all their victories were turned into losses. This gave Madison the champion- ship with a record of 11 wins and one loss. _____ Madison again played in the inter- conference game, at Edwardsville, their opponents being Granite City, champs of the Southwestern Illinois Conference. Our boys stayed right with the Happy Warriors until the third quarter, when the fast pace began to tell. The final score was 30-16 in favor of our rivals. A few days later, the big classic of the year began, the District Tourna- I’aye thirty-two LYBARGER R. STUDEBAKER McMULLEN VASILEFF ZENTGRAF ment. All eleven schools were sending strong teams into the tourney, and Dame Fortune smiled upon our school, Madison drawing a bye in the first round. Our first opponent was none other than our strong rival, Collinsville. The team entered the game, confident that Collinsville could be beaten, and they were going to prove it that night. Coach Rohe’s pro- teges took an early lead, and held this advantage throughout the remain- der of the tilt. The final score was 18-10. St. Jacob was the next team met by our champs, and they fell before the offense of our second team by the top-heavy score of 57-7. That night the team played as they never played before. A trip to Salem, and a beautiful trophy were at stake. Edwardsville was the other finalist, and our boys knew that they were up against a tough aggregation. But they went at the Tigers with hammer and tongs, and they never let up until victory was assured. The boys were presented with a beauti- ful trophy at the close of the game. Several days later, approximately one hundred loyal rooters motored down to Salem, to see Madison open the Sectional Tournament against Chesterfield, winners of the Alton Tournament. And their trip was not in vain. They saw the Green and White team play that same cautious game that they played against Collinsville. The re- sult was a victory for the Rohenites. The score was 12-8. Saturday afternoon Madison opposed the fast Olney team and were defeated 34- 14. This game closed one of the most successful seasons Madison ever had on a basketball court. It also brought the cur- tain down on the careers of John Toncoff and Arvel Price. Page thirty-three First row, left to right: Vasil Vasileff.

BASEBALL At the time of this article, Madison has played but one game on the diamond. The nine showed up to advantage, although losing to East Side by a 7 to 6 score. In the early innings, the Hub-Towners were leading 4 to 1, but errors resulted in a Madison defeat. Although defeated. Madi- son displayed a powerful punch at the plate, which should prove injurious to many promising hurlers in the Conference. Coach Rohe has assembled a pretty fair team to represent the Green and VV hite on the diamond this year. Only three recruits hold a position, on the nine, but they have displayed fine form and should fit nicely into the vacancies made by graduation last spring. Last year the Hub-Towners were nosed out of the Championship in the Cahokia Conference by Mascoutah. However, when all scores were tabulated at the close of the season. Coach Rohe’s diamondeers owned a record for the year, show- ing a decided excess of victories. Only two men will graduate from this year’s nine but this duo will be difficult to replace. John ToncofT is bringing his last year as catcher on the team, to a successful end; also, Arvel Price, one of our best pitchers.

Approximately fifteen men are going through strenuous drills daily under the careful eye of Coach Landes, who is a new addition on the coaching staff. Of the fifteen men, five of them have displayed fair success on the track. In Captain Lee, Mr. Landes has a youth that is capable of leaping 19 feet in the broad jump and running the 100-yard dash in 10:8. Leonard Andrews is a promising young Freshman, who should develop into a great star. Vasileff, Lybarger, and Scrum are the other three who have dis- played considerable amount of promise in practice sessions. The only track meet held thus far was an Inter-Class track event, which the Juniors, Class of ’31, won. This meet brought out a great deal of material, which Mr. Landes has developed into fair trackmen. A dual meet has been scheduled with Granite City, and the cinder- men will also compete in the McKendree meet. Several other meets have been scheduled for later dates. Page thirty-five R.

At the presnt time no games have been played but it is almost certain that the same players as last year will be in active service in the singles and doubles. R. Studebaker and Dick Ulffers play the singles, while T. Studebaker and David Connole pair up in the doubles. The courts have been raised and reconditioned and will be ready for conference play when Madison meets E. St. Louis in the first game. The team will lose three of its members through graduation—Ulffers, Connole, and R. Studebaker. SCHEDULE FOR 1930 SEASON Apr. 28—Wood River .............................There Apr. 30—E.

It is the earnest wish of the 1930 Madisonian Staff that this annual will be as pleasing to the students and patrons of our school as the former annuals have been. We have worked hard and faithfully to make it a success. We desire to take this opportunity to thank the students, teachers and friends who have helped in the making of this annual; especially Mr. Rohe, whose work in the Art Department has been of inestimable value, and to whom we are greatly indebted.

It is an organization sponsored by the Y. M. C. A., our club being connected with the Y. M. C. A. of Granite City. The purpose of this club is to create and maintain high standards of Christian living. The club was a little late in getting started this year but with the help of Elmer Hill, the Boy’s Work secretary of the Granite City Y. M. C. A., we soon worked up to normal again. The most important activity of the club this year was the promoting of the Golden Rule Cam- paign. Five eminent speakers were brought before our assembly and gave talks on the application of the Golden Rule in various walks of life.

Richard Differs I......................Melvin Hebert SYNOPSIS Peggy Rose was willed a house in Maysville on the most fashionable street in town, by Sidney Warren. She moves in with her Aunt Maggie and Uncle Jim. While living here they meet Mrs. Warren, a haughty and domineering society matron, and Joyce Belmont, whose highest ambition is to be a member of the social crowd, and to marry well. They consider the Roses very much beneath them and consequently do not invite them to the reception they are preparing for Jack Archer. The Roses hire Jack Watson, alias Jack Archer, the famous American novelist, who is getting ideas for his new novel, to work for them. Some years past Watson worked for Prince Rudolph of Berengalia, and there- fore, is quite well advanced in the art of society manners. Maggie, Peggy and Jim wish to show Mrs. Warren and Joyce Belmont that they are capable of climbing higher than they on the social trellis, and thus acquire the name of the “Climbing Roses.” They instruct Watson (Jack Archer) to teach them etiquette, and many amusing sequences on the part of Maggie and Jim result from these lessons. Page forty-nine But things do not run as smoothly for Jack Archer as he surmised and he finds that he has inherited a lot of trouble as well as a position. He falls in love with Peggy, but due to the fact that the real Watson was somewhat of a flirt, she refuses to have anything to do with him and finds many disagreeable things for him to do, to the discomfort of his secretary, Ferdie Wimbledon, who has unwillingly become Jack’s all-’round flunky. Jack soon discovers the snobbishness of the higher class and resolves to get the Roses into society. He asks Prince Rudolph, who is a friend of his, to visit the Roses and thus establishes them as social leaders. The Prince accepts the invitation but at the last moment fails to appear and Jack is forced to save the day by hiring a passing traveler to pose as the Prince. Through some misunderstanding on the part of the “paid” Prince and his friends, all three appear disguised as Princes, instead on one, and then the fun begins. Of course this only makes Mrs. Warren and Joyce Belmont surer of themselves and they become more snobbish than before. The Roses forgive Watson, and he decides that something has to be done to give them the chance they deserve to get into society. He de- cides to give up his position and attend the reception that is being pre- pared for him by the town’s social leaders, but sends Maggie a telegram stating that he will first be received by her. He did not think of the trouble that was in store for him and when he arrives at the reception they think he is Watson and throw him out. Maggie, however, is a bit more patient and allows him to explain, whereas the social leader does not. Everything is brought to a happy conclusion by his explanation, and the Roses are at last going up the social ladder, Mrs. Warren and Joyce Belmont are a bit subdued, and Jack Archer gets the material for his story as well as the girl of his dreams, Peggy Rose.

(Continued on Page 69) HIT Page fifty-two FAREWELL Farewell, farewell to all, We’d like to come again next fall, We’ve been so happy the past four years, It’s hard to part without shedding tears. But we will travel life’s rugged path, Never forgetting our school days past, Try to reach the ladders of success, Through clouds of sorrow and happiness. Life may sometimes be a dream, A failure so you say, But through the clouds there is a beam, Which will brighten the darkest day. So farewell, we hope success will come, Just like a dream we say. And though the clouds cast not a beam. Turn not your face away. —Ethyl L. Tanner. Favorite Occupations of the Seniors Arvel Price David Connole Pansy Cook Roger Studebaker Eva Vasileff....

In witness whereof, we have hereto subscribed our name, this 12th day of March, in the year one thousand nine hundred and thirty. The Senior Class of 1930. Witnessed on the day above mentioned by Bruce Hill Thomas Studebaker Page fifty-six THE BOOK I ran across a book called Knowledge, How interesting it looked. The next thing that we were to find, The contents of this book. The first page spelled out “Freshman,” How queer it was indeed, That we should have to reckon With those X’s, Y’s, and Z’s. The next page was the “Sophomore,” A new and harder test, With Geometry as a headlight We were bound to do our best. The next page is named “Junior”, That Shorthand we must get. And on the typewriters we will work Our goal is forty words net. The next page will be “Senior,” On which we have not looked, But when that year has gone its way We’ll have mastered this little book. Page fifty-seven EMBARRASSING MOMENTS A Scream! A Yell! A Stiffled Sob . . . Silence . . . Again with blood- curdling strength and piercing outcry rang through the stillness of the over-calm coolness of the night . . . Silence Again . . . The sleeper lying uncomfortably in Morpheus’ bed, heaved a sight of relief and drowsily turned over . . . But again the shrill cry raised the very roots of his hair as it rang horribly through the dead silence. Slowly the covers moved and a white, shaky hand crept from beneath and clutched the side of the bed for support, while the other weakly held a shining revolver . . . Silence . . . Then again the cry rang out. The ghastly form of what had a few minutes before been a man swayed and reached for something to steady him. What terrifying noise was this penetrating the sweet peacefulness of sleep? He reached the door—placed his hand upon the knob—removed it—placed it there again— then quickly threw the door open—something darted swiftly past him— what was this queer looking creature and where did it go? And then— what was that against his legs? What queer noise was this? He looked. Later he came to. The cat’s tail had been caught in the door! + + + In order that the annual this year might be the best ever, we have introduced a new means of raising money to pay for it. The Senior Class sponsored the sale of candy at noon and during the basketball games, which proved to be quite a successful venture and a considerable amount of money was taken in during the year. Eva Vasileff had charge of the buying and selling of the candy and we wish to take this opportunity to thank her and the girls who assisted her for their faithfulness and willing- ness in helping to make the project a success. MEDITATION Margaret Hayes: Do you think students should be punished for not knowing their lessons? Mr. Rohe: I don’t believe so, why? Margaret: Well, I haven’t my Geometry.

Tri-City 201-R G. A. A. The Girls’ Athletic Association was organized in Madison High by Mrs. Delcour with the help of Miss Gilpin, the Girls’ Physical Education director in Granite City. This organization is a nation-wide association and each state and school awards prizes for athletic activities performed by the girls. The following officers were chosen: Kathyrn Phelan, president; Jane Purcell, vice-president; Marcella Wathen, secretary, and Glendola Stein, treasurer. This year, as was done last year, the high school sponsored the sale of the Curtis Magazines. The student body was divided into two factions, the reds and the greens, with the agreement that the losers were to en- tertain the winners. The plans for the entertainment were furnished by the Publishing Company. The reds won but instead of being entertained, were made the objects of all the jokes. The evening was spent in games and stunts after which refreshments were served. The proceeds from the sales were divided between the Athletic Asso- ciation and the Library Fund. Pape eirty CLASS OF ’32 When we entered school this year, The Seniors told us not to fear The threats of Math or History, But still they’re deep in mystery. While we struggle, strain and stress, We strive our hardest to progress. All our teachers urge us on, To go from darkness into dawn. At work our teachers are like bears, But during play they change to dears. In music, drama, sports, and games, They train our minds and build our frames. Tho Sophs, we furnish from our class, Some shining stars, both lad and lass, Who help to make our high school rate Among the best in this fair state. There’s Williams of the cagers game, And Margaret Hayes of singing fame, And Studebaker, snappy sport. Who shines upon the tennis court. There’s Riddle, too, who shows his steam In starring on the football team. And others, too, whom we might name, Who help to build our High School’s fame. And so to Madison High we’re true, We’ll have to leave it in thirty-two, But when we do leave M. H. S. We’ll try to help the world progress. —Paul Connole.

Fine Candies Kodaks and Supplies Fountain Service STUDENT COUNCIL (Continued from page 12) The Council also helped in selling tags to equip the kitchen in the new gymnasium. At the close of the school year the Council will give awards for scholarshp, dramatics, debating, and athletics. Mr. Sprout, the faculty advisor, brought several problems before the Council for general discussion. These tonics were discussed with the view of bettering the standards of the school. The Council this year was mainly an experiment but to a certain extent it accomplished its purpose, as many high school problems were solved satisfactorily by the Council.

Everything was calm and peaceful, no boisterous hubbub to break the serenity of the industrious group of stu- dents comprised mostly of Seniors. Everyone was conscious of the Seniors, their energetic qualities were the pride and admiration of the en- tire school. They were the patterns by which the underclassmen were modeling their life. Even between classes, as now, they were secretly watched and their manners copied and- Thump—Thump—Thump—goodness! What has happened? Has some Freshie fallen down the steps? No, all’s well in that line. Thump— Thump—Thump—Is the plaster falling again? Anxious faces peered out from every door and excited voices asked, “What is causing that terrible noise?” But no one could solve the question. The Seniors had passed on to their classes. If they were here, surely they could discover the source of this horrible racket. Would someone call them? Finally they came. Told of the noise, they stood and listened. Thump—Thump—Thump— Every face looked pleadingly at them for light. Is there going to be an earthquake? Is the foundation crumbling? Is an Indian war dance in session ? Although questions arose from every side, the Seniors remained calm. There was no look of fear on their faces. Their experienced ears had sensed the trouble immediately, and understandingly they told the crowd the cause of the commotion. Slowly and a bit shamefully but much wiser, each student walked back to class thinking. Why couldn’t we have thought of that? That was the trouble, the Juniors were only typing. No, nothing can shake the intelligence and the calm, fearless courage of the Seniors. A GREAT CREATURE Leonard Andrews: Fancy this, Kenneth, a chap here thinks that a football coach has four wheels. Kenneth Williams: Haw, Haw! And how many wheels has the bally thing? Pa ye sixty-three The Town “Graduation” There’s a road to the town, Graduation, The name of the road is “Work,” It has room for only the studious ones, Traffic’s blocked to those who shirk. The road is open all hours of the day, It heeds neither time nor date, And now is the time to start on your way, For tomorrow will be too late. All the way, we will think on the road, It will seem like a tough old fight, Close to success, we’ll bear up our load, And keep going with all our might. Each year if we’re worthy to pass through a town. Sophomore, Junior and Senior, In each of these towns a reward is found, And the goal of success seems nearer. After we’ve entered the town, Graduation, Though our load may have been hard to bear, Once inside we’ll find comfort and pleasure, And we’ll be thankful we started for there. —Leonard Andrews.
