WITNESSES Prank Bucher Cimi-iio o ourii j. J.JL Darlene Roberts PROPHECY It 1s now the year 1970, and the other day something very odd happened to me. As I was on my way to the Sky-Rocket Show, I saw, of all things, a Flying Saucer coming toward me. It wasn't the first I had ever seen, but this one seemed to be aimed at me, and I was frightened. Finally, as I watched, it landed in the street beside me. I gazed at it suspiciously, and soon I saw someone getting out. When I saw it was Tony Povisol, who had really done something to forward his interest in flying, I was amazed. He recognized me then, and we talked for nearly an hour about the good old days In Madison High School. Finally he began questioning me about some of our schoolmates, and I answered as many of his questions as possible. Then I told him of how many including him, had suddenly disappeared, not to be seen again. He told me that those missing persons had been living blissfully on the moon ever since. Tony wanted to see his old pals who were still on Earth, so we decided to travel in his Flying Saucer to different parts of the tf.S. to visit them. Our first stop was in a small town In Texas, where.we saw Bob Briles on his 500 acre ranch. He is now Mr. William's advisor on cowboys and cattle for his American History class. Working as ranch-hands for him were Bill Bancroft and Gene Messer. Next, we went to California, and Hollywood, where we saw Mary Krekovich, who has taken Yvonne de Carlo's place since the actress' retirement. Her most favorite leading man Is Alvie Thompson. In a suburb of Beverly Hills, California, basking in the warm sun- shine, we came upon Ernie Schall, who told us that after graduating, he had gone to Annapolis. Since then, he's gotten his own band, which can be seen in movies, and heard on the radio and in popular hotels. He told us that he had never married, but was a contented bachelor. Raymond Nowicki, whom we saw in Oregon, was an author. His many books on How to Make Clever Remarks were best-sellers for many years. As we were flying over the mountains in Colorado, we saw a few familiar figures skiing and ice-skating. After landing, we discovered that they were Joan Tarasovich, Lorraine Knezevich, Adrienne Thebeau, and Mary Ann Shifter. Joan told us that she, Lorraine, and Deanie were now models, and they modeled for the Superior Fashions Corporation, a world-wide fashion designing company owned by Mary Ann. From there we went to Mexico for a few hours to visit Jeanne Purdes and Carlos in their adobe hut. Jeanne seemed very happy living that life, as we thought she would be. Dorothy Marshall was situated happily as girls' P.E. teacher in a university in Kansas. In Ohio, we saw Clarence Jones. He was an English teacher who made sure that all his pupils knew what a gerund was. Calvin Ireland, a Justice of the Peace, was living in Arkansas. He told us that he had become quite wealthy marrying all the Madison kids who decided to come out there. St. Louis was our next stop, and we went directly to the Muny Opera, where we saw the actors and actresses who had been selected for the year's program. Among them was Theresa Podnar, who was well-known throughout the U.S. Bill Czervinski was now the world's favorite baritone. He even has his own program on the radio, and his comedian, who keeps every- one rolling in the aisles, is none other than Prank Spohr. He has taken over for Mel Blanc, since Mel gave up impersonating. Leo Rozycke and his wife, with their family were still in Madison and Leo was now a retired basketball pro. After making a name for himself, he began coaching at Madison High. Rosalie Sikora, also in Madison, was preparing for one of her ice- skating exhibitions. Since graduating, she began skating, and has gotten a show of her own with which she travels throughout the world. In Iowa, Marcella Krieshok, Betty Jackovich and Ruth Tsoneff were living together in their own boarding house. I asked them a personal question and they answered without hesitation. Yes, we still dream about Scotty, Farley and Howard. Next we stopped to see Walter Strange in Washington D.C. He was now Republican president of the U.S. But , he said, I have never given up my poetry entirely. Agnes Turski was a Congresswoman who had been elected five successive times, and she seemed to like the work very much. While passing over Rhode Island, we stopped to visit Pat Garland. She told us that she had won many honors in beauty contests, and had even been Miss America in Buddy Mueller was butlering for Delores McMahon, a society queen in Florida. I didn’t dare ask him if he had become an accomplished forger too. In Maine, we ran across Mike Opich and Lloyd Lassen, who owned a partnership in a lemonade stand. They both agreed that business was pretty good. I explained to Tony then that these were all the people from our graduating class who remained down here and he suggested that we fly to the moon, so that I could see the rest of them. Frightened, but too curious, I relented, and got slowly into his Flying Saucer and prepared myself for the journey. Our first stop was to an airplane where we saw Clenna Bolin as the stewardess, and her husband. Bob Vaughn, the pilot. On the plane was Roger Clem who was traveling to New York with his famous flea circus. Seated beside him was Frank Howard, an authority on freight train schedules, and he told us that Bill Page was a freight train engineer who made it his business to give the North Venice students a real reason for being tardy to M.H.S. Seated in the back seat was Bob Oberto who told us that since Jimmy Durante's switching to serious roles, he had taken his place in the movies. He seemed to enjoy his work immensely, as was natural, for that had been his ambition since school days. We then left them, and proceeded on our journey. Up in the atmos- phere were streets, houses and even a Hot Dog Stand, which was owned by Bob Staicoff. He said he had very good business up there, especially from the Sunday drivers--of airplanes, that is. Tony suggested we stop on one of the planets on the way to his home on the moon, and I agreed, ready for anything by this time. At the ultra-modern airport on Mars was Victor Griffin, who was the manager. He told us that he was in love with Mars, and with the beautiful creatures up there. I didn't get a chance to see any of them, but I had my doubts. Finally we landed on the moon, which was truthfully made of green cheese. But this cheese was very delicious and Tony told me that the people up there ate it every day. After putting his Saucer in the garage built especially for it, we went visiting. The houses up there were not built like the earth houses; they looked like mirrors. And that is exactly what they were. The most famous carpenter of these houses was Wallace Holder. Living in one of these glass houses was Edna Gregory, who was now a wealthy widow, and who seemed to be enjoying life immensely. Next door to her lived Billie Lanham who was doing research on how to get your man . It seems moon people have the same troubles as do the earth people. From Billie's home, we could see Jean Little plowing in her cheese garden, so we went to visit with her for a while. She told us that she was the owner of a reducing farm and that she had become quite well-to-do in that line of work. Dormalee Mayes was a famous authority on cooking and she owned a famous hotel there. After eating lunch at Dormalee's hotel, I got a toothache, and I asked Tony if there were any dentists up there. He said, Just wait and see. He took me to Lois O'Neill who had studied long and hard, and was now a moon-renowned dentist. She told me that she never pulled anyone's teeth. Then she called her nurse, and I saw that it was Violet Noud. She and Wally had married and decided to come up to the moon to earn a little nest egg, and after that go back to earth and live a life of ease. Lois asked us to stay for supper, but she said that she had to go to the grocery first. I went with her and was surprised to see Pauline Barton clerking there. Glenna Strain was the buyer for a large department store up there, and we went to see her next. Working there also were Janet Cenkovich and Mary K. Lavelle. Passing by the local malt shop, which was owned by Delores Prusak, I glanced in and whom did I see but Marilyn Jones. We went in to talk to her for a while and she told us that she had married and now had a family of four. She said she loved home life very much, especially up on the moon. After eating supper with Lois, I went to see June Graves, who, I had been told, was a private secretary for her husband, Steve. He was a famous business man, and June aided him in selling the tooth picks that his plant manufactured. Elsie Achor was visiting June, and she said that two years after graduating, she had married her childhood sweetheart. They were now happily situated with their three little children. After a long talk with them, Tony suggested that we go to see Bill Signaigo, a math teacher at the Moon High School. Bill seemed happy in his work, and he said that he intended to continue it until retirement. Finally Tony told me that I had seen all that there was to see up there, so he asked me if I was ready to go back down to Earth. I readily agreed. I liked the moon, but I had to admit that I liked Earth much better. After a ride of about five minutes, we landed right in front of ray home; I accepted Tony's invitation to visit the moon again sometime, and then he was gone. I had been very happy to see all my high school classmates, but now when I think of it, I have to pinch myself to make sure that it wasn't all a dream. After all, who would ever think of living or visiting on the moon? Well,I don't have to dream about itl I really didi 1 WHAT I'LL MISS MOST Elsie Achor—Home Ec. Bill Bancroft—Loaning money to Zoot.

However, the Madison squad has shown great spirit and ability on numerous occasions this year. Sparked by the passing combination of Burns to Vaughn, this year's offense looked most able. The final game of the season marked the final appearance in a Trojan grid uniform for five senior members of the starting line up.---Backs--Charles Mueller and Lloyd Lassen, Buel Martin, Guard—Mike Opich, Tackle—Ernest Schall and End—Bob Vaughn, this season's Captain. Also in the starting line up were Backs—Burns, Serini, Linemen— Maeras, Lybarger, Zelenka, Bucher, Purcell, and other prominent reserves were York, Smith, Bancroft, J. Vaughn, Harrison, Sobole, Crockerall. This season's scores were: Sparta 7 Madison 0 Central Catholic 57 Madison 0 Roxana 56 Madison 13 Edwardsville Madison 6 Granite City k2 Madison 0 St. Charles I? Madison 7 Chester Madison 6 Marquette Madison 7 TRACK Coach Riddle's Thinclads is one of the largest squads of its kind in the history of Madison High. Without many returning lettermen. Coach Riddle expects to win several meets, and try to set a few new records. Although, the season hasn't quite started yet, the Trojans are working out hard with the spirit of victory in view, in their first meet at Dupo. BASEBALL Under the fine coaching of Mr. Williams, the Trojan baseball team expects a favorable season. This year's turn-out is the most promising squad Madison has had in the past few years. With most of the team being returning lettermen, it is stocked with pitchers. Infielders, catchers, and outfielders; also at hand, if needed, are some very prominent reserves. Around these. Coach Williams, will try to mold a winning team and improve the record of last year's team. Due to the fact that the Madisonian is to be out by the end of the school year, just the schedule will be published and not the results.

MADISON—WOODRIVER Regional Tournament at Collinsville SENIOR CLASS HISTORY There we were, shy and skeptical, the day we swung open the doors at Madison High for the first time. Yes, we were entering something new and be- witching. Our first few days were spent in learning our way around the building and locating the rooms for our various classes. Then came the fate- ful day—INITIATIONI It was a day to be long remembered by some of us. We elected our class officers, who were: Lois O'Neill, president; Tommy Wilkins, vice-president; Eddie Rusick, secretary; and Buddy Mueller, treasurer. Mary Ann Shifter, Tom McGrew, Lois O'Neill, Carl Campbell, and Arlene Metcalf represented our class in the Student Council. Our class party was held to- ward the middle of the year and proved successful. Mr. Loy, our class sponsor, agreed with us that the year had passed unseemingly fast. Our summer vacation passed rather swiftly and we embarked upon our second year of high school. This year we were not as backward nor slow about things as we had been our Freshman year and we took right to our sub- jects and activities. Our class officers this year were: Raymond Nowicki, president; Ernie Schall, vice-president; and Dolores Prusak, secretary- treasurer. The Student Council members were Jean Little, Lois O'Neill, June Graves, Bob Oberto, Bob Staicoff, and Ernie Schall. Mr. Weld served as our class sponsor. In September of 'i 8 we again trudged the now familiar path to Madison High. But this year, as Juniors, we were to participate in several activi- ties which are not allowed the lower classmen. This year, Mary Ann Shifter was chosen to lead our class, and Leo Rozycke to assist her, while Dolores Prusak was again chosen secretary-treasurer. Our Student Council members were Lois O'Neill, Jean Little, Billie Lanham, Buddy Mueller, Frank Howard, Bob Staicoff and Walter Strange. This year we had the privilege of choosing five girls as candidates for the position of Homecoming Queen. We chose June Graves, Glenna Strain, Clenna Bolin, Lorraine Knezevich and Pat Garland. Unfortunately, all five Senior candidates were elected. As hosts at the annual prom, we planned a banquet and dancing that brought fun and enjoyment to the Juniors and Seniors alike. To complete our third year of high school, we chose our class rings. Miss Waters was our class sponsor. After a very successful Junior year and a splendid summer vacation, we entered Madison High for our final year. As Seniors, we undertook the privilege of initiating the incoming Freshmen which we did most enthusiasti- cally. Our class officers were: Bob Vaughn, president; June Graves, vice- president; Roger Clem, secretary; and Clarence Jones, treasurer. Our Student Council representatives were Buddy Mueller, Leo Rozycke, Frank Howard, Bob Briles, Lois O'Neill, Pat Garland, Jean Little and Mary Ann Shifter. Mary Ann was chosen president. November rolled around and v ith it came the annual Homecoming. It was a vast array of beautiful formals and tuxedos, all blended together with appropriate songs and formality to make it a spectacular event. Clenna Bolin was chosen Queen and her Attendants v ere June Graves, Lorraine Knezevich, Pat Garland and Pauline Barton. Madison High School will long remember the 1914-9-50 basketball season in which the first five consisted of Buddy Mueller, Clarence Jones, Leo Rozycke, Bob Briles and Ernie Schall; all Seniors. The team ended the season with one of the best records Madison has ever had—19 wins and 5 setbacks. The varsity squad brought home two trophies and the Freshman team earned one. At the annual Tri-Hi-Y Dance — this year, a Hatchet Dance in honor of George Washington's birthday--June Graves and Buddy Mueller were chosen Martha and George Washington by the entire student body. March not only brought Spring this year but also thoughts of the Senior Class Play. The cast was finally picked from among the many who tried out. The cast consisted of the following: June Graves as Kay Ford; Lois O'Neill as Sally Ford; Buddy Mueller as Charley Baker; Bob Briles as Joe Patterson; Raymond Nowicki as John Ford; Theresa Podnar as Helen Ford; Bob Oberto as Don Patterson; Pat Garland as Vickie Blake; and Glenna Strain as Gladys Mullen. The play, under the direction of Miss Robison, was a success. The School Picnic, the Junior-Senior Prom, Baccalaurate Services and Class Day completed our activities for the year. Our graduation exercises were different in that we students put on our own program instead of having a speaker. Miss Michel and Miss Robison were our class sponsors.
