We, the class of 1959, dedicate the 1959 Madisonian. OUR MISS BROOKS Bachelor of Arts - Missouri Valley College Master of Arts - Columbia University CHESTER L. McMANAWAY HENRY M. BAUCUM VASIL C. GRAVILLE ELMER L. KELLY 6 The purpose behind this message is to bid farewell to an outstanding high school, a cooperative student body, and a loyal capable staff of teachers, custodians and office personnel. When I assumed the principalship of Madison High School eight years ago, my aim was to do my best, and to leave the school in a better condition than before. I am leaving my Alma Mater a fully accredited institu- tion, recognized by the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges, which I feel is a big step forward. My new position is a challenge and an advancement in the field of education. My aim—my desire—my hope is that I can serve Collinsville High School with the same high purpose that I have always tried to maintain at Madison High. I shall miss Madison and my many friends in the com- munity. I join the Class of '59 in bidding farewell to the institution that has been my home and my life for the past thirteen years. May the friendships formed here continue FRED A RIDDLE, Principal . 7 7 V always . Bachelor of Science - University of Missouri Master of Science - University of Illinois ADAMA.

Ways of obtaining these goals are the pri mary objects of each organization, activity and sport at Madison High School. We, the editors of the 1959 Madisonian, wish to extend our most sincere hope that the future classes will attain these goals and strive toward still greater and higher goals throughout their whole lives. On behalf of ourselves and the Class of 1959 we would like to offer the following words of advice: Never say you've reached the end. There's always something more; Something grand and wonderful To strive and struggle for. Don't build walls around yourself. Or shroud the window pane; Look out on the distant view And dare to dream again. —Co-Editors 11 CHARLES W.

Fate has utterly laughed at the class of '59, for in the year 1980 the brilliant scientist. Professor Alex Urban, invented a time machine, that has brought him fame and fortune. With the aid of his trusted assistant Jack Ballew, better known as Butterfingers, he has transmitted his fellow classmates both forward and backward in time. We were fortunate enough to have been chosen by Professor Urban to view his experiment. I bet you thought Columbus discovered America—well, according to the time machine it happened this way: Columbus caught two sailors, George Kutey and Larry Papa, stealing rum from his cabin and made them walk the plank. As fate would have it, they swam to the shore of what is now America. Here they were greeted by Big Chief Joe Kube and his squaw Judie Harlow, who welcomed them and took them back to their Indian village. Suddenly, we flashed forward in time to the Colonization era of our country. Even as early as this, women were fighting for their rights. Standing on a soap box nearby, Irene Hackett was screaming viciously for women's right to vote, while Carole Lybarger calmly voiced her opinion that woman's place is in the home. Since no one apparently seemed interested in what they had to say, we moved on to the local trading post, where we saw Katherine Kraley pleading with Andy Dubish and his wife Joyce Ousley to buy her trading post so that she could join Donna Bolin, Laura White, Elva Jean Whitten, and Lillian Winkfield for a fur trapping expedition. The unfortunate male who acted as their guide was the adventurous Don Hedden. With a flick of the dial we found ourselves in the wild and woolly west, witnessing a show- down at sunrise between Tiger Denson and Jimmie the Kid Scherrills. Upon questioning the town schoolmaster, Eddie Modrusic, and the fearless marshal, Alfred Buchanan, we found that they were fighting over the curvacious Mary Gayle Layloff. After the smoke had cleared the town physician Dr. Hurdy Silas, assisted by her male nurse Bernard Mosley administered to the wounded. We followed the preacher Jack Buddy Champion into the saloon owned and operated by Tom Voloski and Dorothy Kelio, just in time to see the floor show. In the chorus line we saw several familiar faces: Louise Heiney, Delight Landweimier, Shirley Kalchoff, l ffie Leonard, and Olivia Shackleford. We were terrified as we saw sitting at a ringside table some of the most famous des- peradoes of the west. The most notorious was the Kube gang—Richard and three of his henchmen, Steve Bojkovsky, Steve DeYong, and Jim Gaddy. The next day we decided to visit a rodeo, and much to our surprise we found the main attrac- tion to be a Spanish matadore, Henry Steffanoff. After the spectacular bull fight, we turned our attention to the various events in which former M.H.S. students, claimed high honors—Jim Grimes in calf roping, Sherman Wilson in bull dogging, Don Mueller in bronc busting and George Hlava in Brahma bull riding. Just as we were beginning to enjoy ourselves Butterfingers Ballew accidentally hit the dial of the time machine and we im- mediately found ourselves in the roaring 20's—and we do mean roaring! Marathon dances were the craze. Upon attending one of these dance contests, we saw many former classmates—James Littlejohn and Brenda Riley, Dale Jackson and Suzy Weiss, and Beverly Blumenstock and David Kopchak. However, despite the stiff competition of these high-ranking contestants, Henry Nowicki and Betty Lowe managed to remain on her feet the longest, thus becoming the worid's champions. Renowned personalities judging the contest included Alice Barefield, the originator of the flapper dress; Carol Cook, the outstanding author and book critic; the noted child psychologist, Melba Ireland; the great ballerina, Jo Ann Kaleta; and the talented torch sinaer. Virginia Northington. After the contest was over Ginny was escorted home by Jim Holland, the king of the underworld, accompanied by his right-hand man Jerry Allen. Later we learned that the eternal love triangle led to the destruction of public enemy No. 1 . Judy Canary Georgeff, Holland's ex-girl friend, sang to the head of the FBI, Richard Howard, about the gangster's shady dealings. He was brought to trial and defended by his famous mouthpiece, Charles Chapman. The trial was conducted orderly by the Honorable Judge Jessie L. Bracy, with Marjorie Gabby Maykopet, acting as Prosecuting Attorney. Thanks to the courageous jurors, among whom were Betty Clincy, Helene Peters, Helen Cooper, Irene Rainer and Janice Bell we witnessed, through the powers of the time machine, the conviction of this notorious hoodlum. After viewing this dismal scene, we decided to look to brighter things in the space age. At this time, trips to the moon and other planets were everyday occurrences. We were fortunate enough to witness the blast off of the first spaceship headed for Ballard's Galaxy, named after the famed astronomer, Melvin Ballard, who discovered it. The brave commander Bob Cochran, and his fearless crew Walter Schakleford, Ollie Walker, Thomas Nance, Diana Mincemeyer, Juanita Jorn, and Carolyn Payne were forced to parachute back to Earth by the ferocious space 30 pirates, Barbara Bright and Barbara Sellers who had stowed away on the ship. This incident was soon reported to the space patrol by a traveling salesman, Darrell Davis. The Commissioner, Nina Purdes, and her chief assistant Joyce Bunk soon captured the pirates. On their return trip they almost collided with Nancy McManaway and Geraldine Hall, who were out for their daily joy-ride in Nancy's new sports rocket. We also saw many vacationers headed for the new undersea resort and decided to view this new realm, through the far-reaching powers of the time machine. The traffic problem seemed to be bad in space, but here it was even worse, due to the congestion of the taxi-crabs owned by Nancy Chlibec. The main attractions of this undersea paradise included sea horse racing, and a gambling cassino. The wealthy playboy, Mike Modrusic was seen at the sea horse races, placing a bet with the head bookie. Iris Griggs. The winner of the race was a sea horse ridden by Donald Lybarger. The gambling cassino, next on our list to visit had been beautifully decorated by the famous interior decorator, Beverly Gadwell, for the co-owners. Bob Finke and Janice Richardson. One of the dealers Darold Thompson got into an argument with Leon Taylor and Randle McCaskill about their gambling debts. Fortunately the argument was settled peacefully so that the bouncer, Norris Kent did not have to exhibit his handiwork. Just ahead of us as we were leaving we noticed Clora Bell Reed and John Sadler, the big winners of the evening. We returned to the laboratory of Professor Urban with a sudden jolt to find that the time machine had blown a fuse. After examining it, we were told by the professor that it would take quite a while to repair the machine, and so we decided to leave the laboratory and the class of '59. I. s. Wei� s 2. B.

We studied, played, laugned, and cried. We planned and decorated for the prom, and we wondered if we would be asked or who we should ask. We attended pep rallies and dances and tried to yell louder and dance better than anyone else. We studied poetry and learned about the history of our country. Chemistry baffled some, while others slaved over shorthand. We re- alized, at last, how close we were to our last year of high school and the great experience of life and began to study seriously with our goals and ambitions in mind. Next year, as seniors, we will have a different name, but our aim will remain the same. 36 B. ADAMS L. BARHAM S. BARTON F. BECKER R. BRACY P. BROWN T. BROWN G. BRUCE J. BUSH R. CARSON B. CHAMPION M.

Listening very closely to whot Coach Mueller has to soy are the TROJANS of M.H.S . Shortly afterward the coaches' plans were put into working procedures. The practice session, which took place in Granite City, was evidently very successful as the Trojans became Champions of the Sectional tournament. 70 £e By the Mississippi River, In the state of Illinois, In the city we call Madison, All Hearts were filled with joy. Why were all these people hoppy? Why was each heart light and gay? Wos it because their high school team Had played so well that day? When the season had just begun They had not done their best. The points weren't high and spirits fell. Their play showed no real zest. But since that time these things hod changed. They practiced one and all. And boys now shot and never missed. They played great basketball. It all began in tournaments To choose the best of all. Their first game was with Alton High, And they sow that team fall. Our boys then beat the Tigers strong— From Edwardsville they came. Now one more team they had to play. The Oilers was their name. One Friday night in early March They beat Woodriver's crew. And thus, they won the regional. Team spirit faster grew. Then to the sectional they went. Here they met the Panthers. On Thursday they played Jerseyville And won — all prayers answered. The next day, Friday, the thirteenth They met the Litchfield squad. The victory wos great indeed. The fans gave wild applaud. None were quiet in town that night. Sectional champs were they. They had a celebration then Which lasted until day. Now On to Salem was the word. The team and fans all went. To beat Centralia was their goal — On victory they were bent. They won the super-sectional. Now On to State was heard once more. It had been seven years. But now we'd go to state and score. On to Champaign they all went now, They'd do the best they could. They played Waukegan, a tough team— The outcome wos not good. Their courage was honored e'en though They lost - to be specific But happy Modisonians say Our Trojans were terrifici By MARYANNA ULFFERS -f-uiocj zajih: 72 } t t tttye Jim Gaddy Mrs. Josephine Georgeff Judy Daley Mr. Walter Cook Mrs. Louise Cook Jean Weidner Shelia Obermeier Bob Diller Lloyd Bugg Barbara Bright Yvonne Yovondic Faith Nizinski Jo Anne Maykopet Marjorie Maykopet Joyce Ousley George Hlava Nancy Salmon Dona Loman Linda Browning Carol Cook Nancy Chilbec Jeanette Dollins Steve Konuck Suzanne Weiss Larry Popa Jimmie Lou Cooley James Riskovsky Andy Dubish Mary Lou Vondermark Dan Roland Louise Heiney Pat Starr Barbara Kondrich Michael Gravi lie Jo Ann Kaleta Betty Ann Russell Don Hedden Charles Chapman Judy Severine John Petrosky Mike Modrusic Eldora Parker Nancy McManawoy Jeanette Kern Larry Ashley Joyce Svezia Irene Rainer Margaret Arnhart Connie Majkut Marilyn Rogers Mayetta Vest Sharon Sharpe Arlene Schiller Mary Ann Staikoff Judy Georgeff Nina Purdes George Kutey Donna Bolin Darlene Wargan James Steel James Scherri I Is Judy Harlow Olivia Shackelford Dale Jackson Bob Price Jimmy Grimes Robert Hamilton Mr. Thomas Loyloff Mrs. A.
