ahisco 1971 dison High School Parramore Street Madison, Florida Volume XXVII Individual instructions at its best. Introduction This is our Mahisco for the school year of 1970-71. We’ve spent many moments, some laughing, some crying, but what stands out the most is that it was we.” We has come to mean so much to all at the new Madison High School. Whether it was a class play, sports, activities, clubs, school spirit, or just being friends, the mean- ing of “we” still prevailed. The death of two schools and the birth of a new one was a big change for the students and faculty. We accept and believe in to- morrow. We are part of America and in our small way we hope that we shall always stand united. For as Abraham Lincoln once said, United we stand, but divided we fall..the people at the New Madison High School believe this to be true in our school life. Freedom is precious.

We wish to make a re- cord of our deep apprecia- tion to these who have re- mained by their various tasks through the changing cycles of the years. These educa- tional workers have given life and force to the guide lines for a free society- fostering independence, unity, and solidarity while working to meet the needs and aspirations of each stu- dent. From them we have received guidance, friend- liness, understanding, help- fulness, and co-operation, along with firmness in aca- demic instruction and values. Therefore we pre- sent this honor roll of faith- ful and loyal contributors to the welfare of the students, the community, and to all humanity. LOUISE BROWNING Mathematics 31 yrs. MRS.

Seniors Stand United Vr • The beginnings of the circle and the symbolism which it reflects, are shrouded in the mists of anti- quity. This figure has ever stood for unity and togetherness. The circle in the form of a ring has been used since early times to signify the closest and most sacred of human ties. The Theme of the 1971 Mahisco of Madison High School is United We Stand.,J So on an autumn day of great loveliness, amid the rich grasses of a Cattle Pasture, we formed this circle and were photo- graphed down the hill si'de. May the attitude of unity signi- fied in this picture, be as endless as the human circle formed by a group of the 1971 Graduates - and a lasting inspiration to all who shall travel this way in the years to come. v Jr JT Superintendent, Principal Direct Madison High School Ringing through the years comes the old adage, as goes the principal so goes the school. Standing on its truth we are glad that we have Mr. Joe Worden as our principal. He came to us from Carra- belle and is now in his second year of capable leadership. His patience, gentleness, firmness, integrity, honesty, and the entire tribe of virtues that go to make a good principal for MHS have been used to bring unity and meaningful activity to us. Mr. Worden spends busy afternoons in his office attending to the business of Madison High School. Mr. Bishop, Superintendent of Schools, plans and imple- ments plans for Madison County Schools. A student doing the work and enjoying the activities of our school during 1970-71 may tend to be somewnat oblivious of the people who organize and ad- minister our complex school pro- gram. This work lays the basis for effective instruction and orderly operation of our school - and all county schools. Top man, chief administrator, and focal leader is the County Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion; our superintendent is Mr. Thomas Griffen Bishop, now completing his fifth term in this office. When we think of his work in budget-making, em- ployment of personnel, transpor- tation, lunchrooms and com- pliance with laws, we have a deep sense of appreciation for all the careful and able work that has been performed by this officer. FACULTY Business Department Mrs. Edwards, hard at work, teaching her class. In Miss Sparks class it is good to use every second. M.H.S. senior, Cheryl Stephens, is busy figuring her budget. Miss Rhodes lectures her typing class. Prepares For Efficiency Basic to the educational process since the age of the stone man is the concept that we learn by doing. In the M.H.S. Business Department this age-old principle speaks in modern accents. The entire work area is set up, so far as possible, in the likeness of an actual business office. Business papers geared to reality are produced. The use of such machines are stressed and their possibilities explored. Filing, book- keeping, office practice sets, field trips, transparencies and other audio-visual aids beef-up learnings that later will function in real life situations. Practice makes perfect Ramona Vickers is working hard at her bookkeeping. Oops! I made a mistake. Students learn by asking questions. 13 English Department Mrs. Faught’s assignments can make you appreciate study hall. Mrs. Junious explains the fundamentals of a good speech. Nita Webb explains the assignment to a fellow student. 14 Strengthens Minds Cindy Barrs knows what it means to study. The 1970-71 school term found the Eng- lish Department in the second year of its nongraded, elective program. Course of- ferings included humanities, fiction, drama, poetry, American and British literature, basic English, Language I, Language II, Journalism, Speech, Composition I, and Composition II. Composition I remained the only required course for graduation. Though still in its infancy, independent study was an elective possibility for in- terested students. Mrs. Hernandez pauses from her busy schedule. Mrs. Doyle discusses Guys and Dolls with her drama class. Mrs. Brown prepares her lesson plans for the next day. Students taking speech soon learn to improvise. 15 Guidance services help stu- dents develop self-confidence and know better their personal, educational, and vocational abilities. Increased group coun- seling, the fall and spring achievement testing program, the vocational aptitude testing, career discussions with people on-the-job provide information for thinking and deciding. A Making Decisions series of discussions for seniors includes representatives from colleges, vocational technical schools, and the armed forces. Parent- student dialogue sessions held periodically promote better communication. Department Mrs. Cherry and Gene Durant discuss problems of Student Council. 16 MRS. CHERRY Group Counseling proves effective. Drivers Education With traffic arteries, local, state, and national, becoming increasingly congested with motor ve- hicles, the Driver Ed Program in Madison High School, has been developed not only to facilitate getting there, but, even more so Get there alive. Accordingly, the program has sought to instill in every pupil performance capabilities to this end - and under both normal and intensified traffic conditions. Much of the educative content focused on giving the student competency in driving and foresight into the factors that might impair driving efficiency. These are use of alcohol, drugs, accumulated fatigue, and vehicle maintenance. This approach to the program necessitates respect for persons and property and the ability to drive defensively. It, along, with all concepts and practices, relates to the foundation principle that Life is valuable. Mrs.. Turner, the Drivers Ed instructor shows students facts about operating a car. In the classroom the Drivers Ed students learn about the rules and regulations of driving. Mrs. Turner and her students are very pleased with the new Drivers Ed car. The Home Mrs. Morrow is the teacher of the Home Economics Department. The Home Economics curriculum gave to the students some basic principles and practice in making decisions in various areas of daily living: clothing, housing, nutrition, consumer economics, and per- sonal, social, and family adjustment. The variety of offerings made it possible for students in 10th and 11th grades to have an elective course in Home Economics. Students participated in actual food prep- aration, serving, and other practical areas. Students in Family Living use some of their time for individual study. Economics Department Barbara, does that book pertain to Family Living? Cathy, are you going to fix something good to eat. 19 Language Coach Ray and his students enjoy using the facilities of the Language Lab. Spanish students listen carefully for in- structions. Many feel that Spanish has a valid claim to being The Second Language in Florida. Other reasons justify an emphasis in Spanish in our Public Secondary Schools. There is a general cultural enrichment to come from the abilities to read and speak Spanish. These faculties afford another outreach to- ward an interesting group of our fellow- human beings. For both motivation and the value of the information, emphasis was placed on a mastery of the background, geography, cultural implications; the roles of the Spaniards in Civilization and their contri- butions. Mr. Ray enjoys reading or preparing for his next lessons during his spare time. Library Staff Library is an elective course. The stu- dents intellectual, physical and social skills were challenged in learning library principles and accepting leadership respon- sibilities. We enriched and supported the ed- ucational program of the school during the 1970-71 term by work done in improving reading skills, literary tastes, and selec- tion of learning materials in the use of the media center. The library staff operated a school supply corner. This year profits were used to plant flowers near the library wing and to supplement the county budget for needed materials. Dale Bish and Becky Hiers use the library to study hard. Mrs. Tucker, the librarian is helpful in showing students the need for good library use. Boys give good service in audiovisual aids. Cindy Barrs is one of the many helpers on the staff. The library gives students a quiet place for study. 21 The Math Department She is the Dept, head and she teaches Geometry and Math II. Mrs. Browning prepares the assignment for her next class. Students in Mrs. Catron's class prepare bulletin boards in their spare time. Mrs. Catron is a new teacher in the Math dept. Mrs. King uses the overhead projector to explain her assignment to her students. 22 Achieves Accuracy Mrs. Browning explains factoring to one of her Algebra classes. Mrs. Reeders 6th period class really enjoys Trig !!! All scientific education which does not commence with mathematics is, of necessity, defective at its foundation. ... Comte. The 1971 graduating class represents a culmination of a program which began five years ago. Those students interested in pursuing an advanced pro- gram of study were allowed to begin the study of algebra in the eighth grade and continue through analytic geometry and introductory calculus in the twelfth grade. Mathematics is the queen of the sciences - arithmetic the queen of mathematics ... Gauss. Realizing that all students do not have the same interest, the curriculum included a program of study which prepared its participants in the practical aspects of mathematics. To make the program more effective, students were allowed to involve themselves in a combi- nation of the two, or in a portion of the advance- ed program. Regardless of the choice, each was encountered with up-to-date texts and the modern approach of teaching. Mrs. Reeder works constantly helping her students. 9 H 1 i kh The band is very helpful at pep rallies. The Music Department Mr. Brown is our new band director at M. H. S. Band members practice hard for good performances. The students in band enjoy practicing different kinds of music. The two directors consult one another often. Developes Talent Mr. Welton, the Choral director, explains the necessity of music. This year at Madison High School there were over 200 students involved in the six organizations of the music department. These groups included: Concert Chorus, Concert Band, Marching Band,Stage Band, Girls Chorus, and Boys Chorus. The music department endeavored to develop musical skills, to acquaint its members with standard literature, and to achieve distinction in performance. The combined chorus and band presented their annual Christmas Concert in December at the NFJC Audito- rium, and both groups entered district contests in the spring. The band performed at all the football games in the fall, and marched in both the Florida Forest Festival Parade in Perry and the NFJC Homecoming Parade in Madison. In April selected students from both the chorus and the band were chosen on the basis of an audition, to perform with other outstand- ing high school musicians at the Florida All-State Clinic in April at Daytona Beach. The final activity of the music department was the performance at the graduation ceremonies in June. The chorus class works hard to develop good tone. 25 The Physical Miss Benjamin, the new P.E. teacher shows students some stunts in tumbling. Tumbling is a part of the P. E. activities. Some students often watch as others work. Miss Benjamin participates along with her classes in their activities. Indoor sports is an important part of the P. E. classes during the winter months. 26 Education Department P. E. teachers at M. H.S. The boys practice hard and seem to enjoy P. E. Coach Reid shows the boys some of the fundamentals of basketball. Was it not Herbert Spencer who set the aims of education as A sound mind in a sound body ? In M. H. S. the Physical Education Program was formulated and operated in the understanding that a person must grow physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally. In coming to these high aims, we recog- nized that the program, to be effective, must be enjoyable and that it must open avenues for valid success. The broad pro- gram of experiences was constantly and consciously related to these basic needs. 27 The Science Department Mrs. Fletcher offers help to her students. Mrs. Fletcher's tests sometimes catch students unprepared. Individual study is an important part of Mr. Jones class. 28 Seeks Discovery I Mr. Alderman explains how to balance equations to his chemistry class. The Science Department accepts the ob- ligation of surveying science as a subject, its contribution to human progress, its possibilities for lifting the horizons and enriching the lives of people. But, even more keenly, is pursued the aim of giving each student experiences that lead to a discovery and use of The Scientific Method in the solution of human problems. Since science is pouring in its riches in technology, control and protection of the environment, and resources for the manage- ment of the forces of a brighter day, we seek to encourage sound judgements upon the Student's future. Concentration seems to be important to these students. 29 jm The Social Mrs. Argenbright, head of the department is very helpful to students when needed. These students really seem to enjoy Psychology. Mrs. Brandon is one of the new American History teachers. Mrs. Brandon and her students enjoy class discussions. Science Department Coach Fike, we hear you have very interesting discussions in your Sociology and American History classes. Mr. Welch is another one of the new American History teachers. Students confer with each other about their test grades. We have helped our students become independent thinkers and responsible citizens. We have tried to help them see man as an individual; a thinking, feeling, appreci- ating, aspiring human being concerned with all of life. In doing this we have traveled to art museums, institutions for exceptional children and a laboratory for the study of promotion including man. Doug Cherry and Frank Mercer, why aren’t you paying attention? 31 Vocational Agriculture Mr. Smith shows his students the proper method for welding. Vocational Agriculture was made very meaningful by practicing what was preached. Farm tool repair in the shop, growing com, tobacco, and tree farming on the farm plot were actually done by the students. These activities developed the competencies needed by those engaged in agricultural pursuits. Harvesting and marketing were part of their experiences - they made money. The total education was geared toward developing abilities need- ed to exercise and follow effective leadership in fulfilling occupational, social and civic responsibilities. Dicky, do you really enjoy Ag as much as you seem to? Students listen carefully to Mr. Smith, concern- ing safety precautions when using machines in the Ag shop. 32 Developes Abilities The students in Ag. enjoy learning about farm machinery. They try to be skillful in what they do. Mr. Smith helps the boys with woodwork. Boys learn many tasks in Ag. 33 Seniors Rotary Citizenship SUSAN WALKER The custom of giving the citizenship cup to the Senior ranking first in a broad range of meritorious qualities goes back to the late 1920's. Begun by the Kiwanis Club, the award in more recent years has been sponsored by the Madison Rotary Club. The actual selection of the winner is made by vote of the high school faculty. The name is engraved on the cup. presented on awards day, and the student is allowed to keep the cup for one year. Reading the list of those whose names are inscribed on this symbol of recognition and attainment, is much like an educational Who's Who in Madison High School through the years.

This emblem of excellence in leadership was begun in 1956 and has been a high mark of distinction each year since. American Legion Citizenship CATHY BROWN Much of the strength of our nation comes from our voluntary organizations. Since its organiza- tion in Paris at the conclusion of World War I, the American Legion has held aloft the light of patriotism. This award signifies a love of coun- try, a willingness to look to our common good and our continuous march through the centuries ahead. jIMMY WALLER 35 Patriotism Recognized BETTY CROCKER HOMEMAKER OF TOMORROW SUSAN WALKER Senior girls are privileged to compete for the homemaker of tomorrow - state winners receive $500and national winner $5000 scholarship. The winner is selected by scores made on a standardized test encompassing all phases of family living. The Competence exemplified by a winner is a coveted asset. Award DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION CHERYL STEPHENS I Dare You, the philosophy of Mr. Danforth is the basis for the selection of the honor. It related GARY WEBB to an extraordinary commitment of one's mental and moral resources. To receive it is a high honor indeed. LINDA REEDER The Daughters of the American Revolution Award is steeped in values which have been tested in the crucible of experience - pa- triotism, leadership, and dependa- bility. They give both strength and zest to our society. Receiving this award is a true basis for justifiable pride. Danforth ORGANIZATIONS Mahisco Staff Works Seriousness and happiness were often reflected on the faces of Mahisco staffers; they put in long and tedious hours in an effort to produce an A+ yearbook. Deep sighs were heard around school as each deadline was met. Nine seniors and four ju- niors worked faithfully on the production. By helping on the Mahisco staff the juniors will be better equipped to make their '72 yearbook experience even better. Mrs. Louise Browning was a great sponsor. She helped us over many anxieties and rushed deadlines. So farewell to a glorious year and a won- derful experience.

The officers from each school held joint offices, sharing their positions and duties. Student Council organized Homecoming activities, and also sponsored the Queen's float and Coronation Ceremony. Then at Christmas, they presented the school janitors with sizable checks collected from the stu- dent body as an expression of appreciation. Student Council conducted a survey of the student body concerning the M.H.S. dress code. They also sponsored intramural bas- ketball games during activity periods.

Since it is a branch of the Student Council, the Vice-Presi- dents of the Student Coun- cil act as the head of this club and lead them in their meetings. Unlike other organizations around school the In ter club Coun- cil has no regularly sched- uled meetings but called meetings whenever needed. The reason for Interclub Council is so that clubs can work in harmony with one another. In this way, no two clubs are ever working against each other but always together. The Interclub Council as such does not sponsor any projects but makes suggestions to the club leaders. These people then return to their club and discuss this suggestion. When asked how they felt, Frank Mercer and Edward Scott agreed that this year Interclub Coun- cil has been a decisive factor in getting the clubs to work together on projects that would benefit our school.

This year, the club's membership increased because of the union of the two schools. Frank Mercer, vice-president, was elected district vice-president. As school projects, Beta members replaced pines in the bowl, dec- orated hall bulletin boards, sponsored Teacher Appreciation day, placed trash cans between the school and Dairy Bar, and sponsored the C. A. N. drive to collect aluminum cans which were sold to a reprocessing plant. Pres. Pat Brown presents initiation certifi- cates to new Beta members.

During Christmas they collected and delivered gifts for Sunland Hospital patients. FHA members sold candy- apples at basketball games to raise money for service pro- jects. In the spring, the club held a Mother-Daughter tea which was a very successful social event. Towards the end of the year several mem- bers attended the State Fair in Tampa.

The annual Christmas Concert was presented in Dec- ember in conjunction with the band and other choruses. This was followed by a trip the next day to Sunland Hospital where the group sang their Christmas music a capella. The highlight of the second semester was the District Contest in February in Tallahassee, where the group received ratings by judges. A spring concert was presented in April featuring modern music. The chorus closed the year by singing in the graduation cere- monies in June. Rehearsals in class prepared the chorus for con- certs. Students look happy as they travel to District Contest in Tallahassee. Nita Webb and Scott Dickinson napping on the bus ride to Tallahassee.

Combining to form one large group, they presented out- standing performances at the fall and Christmas concerts. In the spring, the Girls’ Chorus con- tinued singing and began study of solfege and rhythmic backgrounds. A portion of the Male Chorus continued to sing and the rest began individual projects related to music such as making instruments, developing skills, and in- vestigating the origin of rock music. Mr. Welton is preparing music for his Girls' and Male Chorus classes.

In October, they marched in Perry at the Florida Forest Festival, and in November the band entered the Dis- trict II Marching Band Contest and competed against other bands from Tallahassee and Panama City. The annual Christmas Concert was presented in December with the MHS Choruses. After the holidays, the band prepared for the District II Con- cert Contest in March. In April, selected students from the MHS Band participated in the Florida High School All-State Band. This was in conjunction with the Florida Music Educators Association in Daytona Beach. After the annual spring concert in May, the band performed at the grad- uation ceremonies in June. The band had a good year, and hopefully will have new uniforms next year.

A school supply corner was open for all the students convenience. Items sold here included pens, pencils, paper, etc. The main aim of the staff was to give service, whether it was helping a fellow student find information for a report or aiding a teacher by showing a film in class.

This year the name of the paper was changed from Devil's Ledger to Paw Prints by a student body vote. Staff members spent many hours working to meet deadlines. Mrs. Faught's able instruction and guid- ance proved to be indispensable many times. Each issue of the paper contained interesting articles and pictures about activities and events at M.H.S. As members of the Quill and Scroll and the Student Press Association, the staff proudly dis- played the symbols of these organi- zations in each issue of the Paw Prints. The staff published an out- standing paper this year and ,in doing so, gained experience in journalism. Nita Webb and Mary Burns are interviewing Don James, a speaker at M.H.S.

Because of Madison County's varied agricul- ture, the Future Farmers of America is a very active club at Madison High School. The boys and advisor, Mr. David Smith, worked hard throughout the year. Their Homecoming float won first prize as it does every year. They learned many useful facts about farming. The boys cleared seven acres of land and planted pine trees to make America a little more beau- tiful. They planted fifteen acres of corn. Other planting experience included tobacco, one of Madison County's major crops. Some members attended the North Florida Pine Tree Festival in Perry, Florida and The North Florida Fair in Tallatiassee as extra- curricular activities. In February, a few mem bers received experience in judging livestock when they traveled to Tampa, Florida to the Tampa Fair. 57 Science Club Views Science Club held night meetings this year. The members learned through films, speakers, and field trips. A study of astronomy was fol- lowed by a trip to the Valdosta State College Planetarium. The highlight of the year was a trip to the Apollo 14 lift-off and a tour of Cape Kennedy. The club organized a Science program and presented it to area schools at the end of the year.

January 30, were 21 stu- dents and 7 chaperones. They arrived at Day- tona Beach that afternoon, tired from the long ride, but still alive enough to seek adventure. After a lively night at the Riviera Inn, the sleepy students reloaded the bus for a ride to Titusville, Florida, to see that long awaited Ted Sanders looks excited about his card game during the bus tide to Daytona Beach. Mike Cuppett went prepared with camera and binoculars. lift-off. The weather was beautiful and no one anticipated rain. But the rains came. 30 minutes before the lift-off and everyone was soaked. Finally the beautiful sight appeared and everyone's face was filled with amazement. Despite the rain, sleepless night, bumpy bus, and toothpaste fights, everyone agreed it was fun! Faces showed anticipation as the lift-off time got closer. The group viewed the lift-off from a rooftop seven miles from the launch pad. Kay Keeling dressed comfortably for the long bus ride.

As Madison High School's team made victories throughout the year, one could hear the cheering and loud voices of the Pep Club. They were always there to boost the spirits of the fans. Not only did the Pep Club boost spirits, but they were an active club as well. They sold gold and blue pom-poms to wave at every game. Buses were trans- porting students to every away game and who was behind this, our Pep Club. As the year closes, one can remember the football games, basketball games, and other sports events with the Pep Club sup- porting our teams all the way.

The 1970 Madison High School Cougars re-established a winning tradition for Madison football. The Cougars had an impressive 8-1-1 record for the season. Over the year the Cougars amazed im- pressive statistics in the Big Bend. The team finished with the fourth best record, second best defense against scoring (only 52 points were scored against this team) and sixth best scoring offense in the Big Bend Area. (The Cougars scored 237 points an average of 23.7 points a game). This foot- ball team had great leadership from an excellent group of seniors. This team's performance will give all future Madison football teams an excellent example to follow. A small pileup.

Victims of the Cougars were Mayo, Perry, Wakulla, Branford, and Hamilton County. The 9 wins and 7 losses have given the Cougar fans some exciting games. With a little extra effort and luck the Cougars could easily have had 12-4. The boys worked together well and they appreciated the backing of die student body. We had some fine individuals on our team who learned that when they draw together they are a much better team. 70 Coach Dennis Fike Their Last Year RUSSEL FRAZIER 1.2.3.4 As the 1970-71 basketball season comes to a close it is with pride that we set aside this page for those senior players who have fought for Madison High School. Yes, fought. The team came onto the courts as soldiers onto the field of battle, and in the true spirit of competition they moved forward. 71 ENOCH MOBLEY 1,2,3,4 Weeks Of Practice Aching backs and tired bodies pushed to the brink of exhaustion would come alive again after a cold shower. This was the picture of basket- ball practice. Champions are made; not born. And this is how they are made - practice, practice, and more practice. Although at times it seemed impossible to go on, winning the game made it all worthwhile. No. 21 goes for a lay-up against the Wildcats.

SECOND ROW: Tim Blanton, David Com - The 70-71 Junior Varsity Basket- ball Season was a good one. The fine young men of MHS made this season enjoyable. Record-wise the Junior Varsity finished well over the .500 mark for the year. A feeling of accomplish- ment was achieved through the season because all the boys worked together very hard toward a total team im- provement.

The MHS Baseball team played 14 regular season games. After the regular season ended, Sub-district, district, re- gional and State Tournaments began. No matter what your regular season record was tournaments decide everything. The prospects for this season were bright. There were some fine boys returning from last year’s Sub-district Championship Team. There were experienced players at almost every position. In order for the team to go all the way, they improved with each ballgame that they played. Baseball, like any other sport, is a game that is gen- erally won by the team who makes the fewest mistakes. The team worked very hard on minimizing mistakes and errors.

The Madison High School Track Team participated in several track meets this season. The main objectives were to have at least three persons qualify to enter the State Track Meet, to inspire more young men to participate in this, the oldest sport on record and to motivate the mem- bers of the track team to be the best in their field. The students hope that in the very near future Madison will have a track built for the school. If they had a track more young men would participate.

ACTIVITIES Homecoming Queens NANCY HART PAT BROWN Two queens were chosen to reign over the homecoming events by the football boys. One queen is good; two proved better. The queens, Nancy Hart and Pat Brown, were a perfect choice for Homecoming Queens. The queens' reign included a coronation with all the attend- ants and performance from the Madison High School Band, Majorettes, and all the cheer- leaders. Next came the parade with Cougars Doing Their Thing. Everyone had a wonderful time participating in making the parade outstanding. The final event of the Queens' reign was a Homecoming victory over West Nassau furnished by the Mighty Cougars. Madison High will always treasure the great memories of the 1970-71 Homecoming. 80 Silhouetted against a raging bonfire. Coach Peterson is enjoying his first Homecoming at Madison High School.

The game was divided into two ten minute halves. Each team played until they lost two games. Then the winners of the three grades played in a run-off. The games served not only to get the students out of study hall but fostered a competitive spirit between classes. Larry King shoots for the basket and wins the game. V Defending their basket was a great challenge for the team. Emmanuel McGee proved to be a good football and basketball player. 84 A Day Around School Sally Schoells, Pat Brown, Becky Robinson, Cheryl Stephens, Gary Webb, and Linda Reeder get off to a slow start. With Olan Mills The day when the school photographer came was a big event for everyone. Gerald Roberts, Olan Mills’ representative, made a big hit with every student because of his unique, pleasing personality. Photos that are distributed throughout the yearbook display Olan Mills' fine quality for perfect effect. With their district office in Jacksonville, Florida, representatives have time to meet the needs of students and school. If quality photos are needed notify: OLAN MILLS STUDIO JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA 85 Seniors Plan One of the many productions the Senior class sponsored this year was the Senior Follies. This was a program in which the entire school could participate. Anyone who wanted to perform was urged to join in the activities. The proceeds from the Senior Follies went to the Senior Class. A Senior trip was spon- sored with the money made and the class left the remaining sum to the school for later use. Mrs. Elaine Doyle and Mrs. Ernestine Reeder directed the follies. Cathy Brown did a moving rendition of The Crucifixion. Marie Randall looks wistful as she ponders her performance. Debbie Waddail, Pat Waddail, Sherri Farr, and Vicki Rooney sang You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man. 86 For The Follies © Frederick Wright, Jenno Von Franklin, Renee McKinney and George Davis were one of the groups that participated in the follies. Mrs. Doyle found that directing the follies was a very challenging job. Betty Davis rehearses for the follies. Mrs. Reeder was happy to be involved in the Senior Follies. Annual Goodwill Drive Mrs. Doyle tells the true meaning of Goodwill. Mary is happy doing for others. Students at MHS participated in and enjoyed this act of sharing with those less fortunate. The handicapped are helped in two ways through such drives. They have practice materials for learning trades; the sales help finance their experiences. Service to others is very rewarding. They're all ready to begin work. 88 Is A Success 89 Larry Pride strode down the walk with his arms full. As Christmas Time Drew Near — Miss Rhodes busy displaying Christmas spirit.

There were, among these people, an old man with a mysterious suitcase and a nosy old maid who spent her time finding out other peoples' business ... or trying to. Silas Dobbins kept everyone laughing with his comical expressions. Pandemonium broke out when Mrs. Vanderventer lost her string of expensive pearls. The crowd set up a prelim- inary trial to solve the case. During the excitement, Mrs. Pidgie found out what was in that mysterious suitcase ... WHITE RATS! Off The Track was directed by Mrs. Elaine Doyle and Mrs. Ernestine Reeder. 93 Up The Down Staircase Bel Kaufman's comedy Up the Down Staircase has been described by one critic as the kind of'funny' that hurts. It concerns Sylvia Barrett, a young attractive teacher on the threshold of her career in a large New York City high school. Sylvia soon finds herself in trouble, trying to defend an extremely hostile young man who is on the verge of dropping out of school. She becomes involved in the start of a romance, a near war with a discipline-over-every- thing administrator ... in the unexpected, sometimes heartbreaking, but more often outrageously funny problems of her stu- dents. Up the down staircase Lance Ohl takes the diplomatic approach to Kay’s crush on him. In the battle for the desk, Lamar Harris loses to Frank Mercer. 94 FAVORITES M.H.S. Finalists The five finalists wait impatiently for the judges decision. Cathy Brown - first runner-up. Becky Hiers - third runner-up. As the new Madison High School began with the class of '71', a new wave took over every tradition, such as. Miss MHS. This year Miss MHS was chosen in a pageant, the first of its kind. It was a beautiful success with all contestants from various organi- zations being judged on poise, per- sonality, and appearance. After the 10 semi-finalists were an- nounced, they were judged on talent; and the 5 finalists were chosen. All palms were perspiring now as the finalists were asked individual questions. The final decision came and Coach Ray, assisted by Coach Reid, announced the winners. After Nita was crowned Miss MHS, she took her walk and all the girls congratulated her. All were satisfied that the first Miss MHS pageant would start a new tradition at Madison High School. 97 Pageant “Doings” Coach Ray and Coach Reid were emcees for the pageant. Mr. Worden crowned Nita as Miss M. H. S. The girls voted Patrica Drew as Miss Congen- iality. Cathy expresses her happiness for Nita by giving her a friendly hug.

One of each was selected from the Suwannee River High School group that merged with Madison High School to form the New Madi- son High School, and one of each from among those students who had been in this school for two or more years. Every shining star leaves its afterglow to make the heavens more beau- tiful. We can say with Thomas Carlyle: One of the Godlike things in this world is the veneration done to human worth by the hearts of men.” It is in a spirit somewhat akin to veneration that we salute these high achievers. May this commendable progress augur equally as well for bright futures. 99 FRED JOHNSON Football Star Citizenship, scholarship, leadership, sportsmanship, and service to the school were the guiding principles used in the evaluation of these outstanding Seniors of Madison High School, class of 1971. They were named by concurring secret ballots of the faculty and of their fellow classmates. This phase of our school life and the response of Seniors, addresses itself to those age-old aspirations of the human heart. Carried into life, they will preserve our Great Democracy and. at the same time, add richness to the lives of individuals. ROBERT MOORE (Not Shown) Co-President Student Council too LINDA REEDER Class Secretary GARY WEBB Co-President Student Council Honorable Mention JODY BEVEL TONY MACARAGES CHERYL STEPHENS Madison High School These Seniors won honorable mention on the same criteria as for the outstanding Seniors. One half came from faculty evalua- tion, and the other half from senior class recommendation. The recognition of worthy people is a laudable trait of humanity.

SOPHOMORES Sophomore Helping to improve the school's appearance are, Wayne Brown, President; Patty Reeves, Vice-president; Gwen Young, Secretary; and Deena Dietrich, Treasurer. The Sophomore Class had few activities in the past year due to a great number of adjustments in becoming a member of the Sr. High. They planned several fund raising projects for future events. The Sophomore's main interest was to get involved in the hap- penings of the Sr. High. They looked ahead to the time when they could be involved in getting class rings, planning banquets, and important events. They will accomplish their goals by working hard and setting good examples. The success of these tasks of today's Sophomore Class will determine the success of tomorrow and years to come. 104 Class Cole Agner Gail Agner David Aikens Elbert Aikens James Aikins Robert Akins Howard Alexander Cathy Alford Jimmy Alfotd James Barrs Ronnie Bass Roy Bass Wanda Bell Mary Bellflower Charles Bennett Danny Bish Randy Bishop Jim Bland Nat Bland Tim Blanton Marva Boatman David Bonner Edward Bowen Barbara Brady Ola Brinson Tommy Brinson Ernest Brown Jackie Brown Sylvia Brown Wayne Brown Lee Browning Glen Buchanan Tim Burnett David Carter Debbie Carter Willie Carter 105 Talking It Over Joann Cherry Lydia Cherry Kathy Collis Fran Colson Gary Colyer David Combass Wesley Conkin Patsy Cowart Albert Cox Kenny Cox George Davis Jerry Davis Lonnie Davis Jr. Dean Dempsey Odessa Devane John Diamond Deena Dietrich Lavern Dixon Loleta Driggers Paul Edenfield Gertrude Edwards Christine Fountain Bennie Franklin Leon Franklin Denise Frazier Willie Fudge Debbie Furhman Terry Gallon Betty Graham Tommy Groover Phyllis Gunn Jerry Guntner Franklin Hals Edward Hamilton Thelma Hankins David Haynes 106 Before School Patsy Cowart and Debbie Bums discuss their Sherrie Quick tells it like it is. weekends.

They were eager to work and did a good job. At the first of the year the class conducted their annual magazine drive which proved to be quite successful, as well as profitable. They participated in the Homecoming festivities and won second place for their float. The Junior-Senior Banquet, Comic Capers, was enjoyed by everyone that attended. The Juniors worked very hard on both the banquet and prom. The hopes for the Junior Class next year are that they will love their Junior year, too. Juniors will always be proud of the Class of '72. 134 SENIORS Class Of ’71 Enjoying a picnic are class officers, Linda Reeder, Treasurer; Betty Davis, Secretary; Cathy Brown, Presi dent; and Dale Bish, Vice President. EVENTS FROM CLASS OF '71 The past school term was marked by certain activities which have contributed to the betterment of the seniors. The sen- iors started off on the right track” by in- quiring about senior privileges and were assured that they were entitled to certain benefits. After they had organized and sub- mitted the proposed privileges to the prin- cipal, they were discussed and relayed back to the seniors with no unexpected surprises. With the trip to Washington, D.C. in mind, the class made efforts to raise money.

This page is also to say thank you for never giving up on us no matter how trivial our thoughts were. So as we close this Mahisco '71 we turn our backs on our past, but turn our faces to the future.
