Stucki, our new superintendent. Mr. Stucki, who has been with us but one year, is a man whose entire interest is centered in the schools of this system. He has done a great deal for Madison High. With his keen insight and far- I ' eaching vision for this institution he has cherished our ideals and even raised them to greater and grander heights. We, the students, are proud of Mr. Stucki and we look upon him as an ideal man who is honored and respected by all of us and every one with whom he comes in contact. His influence in the community as well as in the school has surely been pronounced. His policies are so definite we all under- stand them. Under his direction, system and order have been estab- lished throughout the schools. He has indeed proved a friend to us and we hope that he will see fit to remain with us for some length of time. liHii MADisoNiAN rnii:Hii:niiijeiii:iS!i liHI MADISONfAN nniMIIIIII H. A.

The first thing we did was to squelch the Freshies. We had a class party which was one of the biggest and best events of the season. Formality and upishness gave way to goodfellowship and everyone had a pleasant time. The Sophomore class produced debaters who made many honors for the school. The Sophomore boys won from the Freshmen boys in basketball. The Sophomores do not wish to appear boastful and they fully realize that they are not the only class in Madison, and we want to thank the Freshies for the splendid support they have given.

On that fatal day of Septembar the fifth, groups of green ob- stacles entered the high school building and wandered aimlessly up and down the halls waiting for some one to tell them where to go. One of the social events of the year was a party given by the Freshmen in January. Those present were the high school faculty, and the Sophomore and Freshman classes. Dancing was enjoyed by every one. The class has been well represented in basketball, dramatics, and debating. We have been a force in Madison that cannot be underestimated. We have upheld the traditions of Madison. Under the leadership of its officers and sponsors it has become a unified and wide awake class doing its part in everything Madison has un- dertaken. 1928 iinii IIHII Afton Allen Doralee Anderson Afton Anderson Ann Byrne Jack Beesley Lybil Butler Delphia Butler Eliza Beardall Jean Belnap Ruth Baumgartner Vera Buckland Lillie Clucas Ross Covington Joseph Corey Lillian Clark Dallas Church Lavon Clements Vivian Davenport Constance Freeman Naomi Freeman Delpha Fransen Martha Howell Gordon Hendricks Cloid Hinckley Mary Heath Ross Harris Harold Hallstrom Thomas Hemming June Harris Shirley Jensen Leland Jensen Wanda Johnson Dorothy Johnson Rulon Johnson Leonard Krogue Robert Kerr Hazel Killian Rulon Levv is Haiold Lenroot Mabel Lundberg Mabelle Luthy Rachel Minson George Madson Afton McEntire Winfred Merrill Waldo Morris Norma Middleton Lester May Letha Machen Leoran Machen Nettie Machen Carma McKenna Freeman Mclntier Lila Mclntier Hattie Meng Dwaine Nadauld Maxine Ovard Edna Ovard Ronald Peterson Sylvia Pearson Albert Pieper Maughan Parkinson Reed Richman Blaine Rumsey Loanda Ricks Alice Rindlesbacher Ormand Robison Hyrum Romrell Elizabeth Jane Ricks Henry Shirley Laura Skelton Edna Stowell LaRee Smith Mildred Smith Erma Sommer Overton Bmith Dwinna Smith Clifford Spencer Ralph Thompson Stella Thomas Leo Thomason Louis Tremelling Emma Wright Wilford Widsteen Edgar Wynn Jay Watts Harold Wright Loyz Weeks Thelma Watts Wiima Thompson Sherman Lloyd Herman Zollinger Lynn Spaulding Edith Mathie Barbara Hansen Max Woodvine Vern Zollinger ENGLISH B rrhrough the untiring efforts of C. Drue Cooper and the use of w our textbook, Practical English for High School , we have been able to accomplish a great deal. The most important things being to learn to speak and write correctly, which we get by practicing. Good English helps us to win friends and positions in the business world, therefore the cultivation of good English is absolutely nec- essary. Mr. Cooper has been especially qualified and we have dis- covered and have appreciated his work very much. 0 ENGLISH A ivili.zed people cannot live without compositions, for compositions ai ' e used in every walk of life. Sent ' nces are what compositions are made up of. The purpose of grammar is to lift us over the difficulty of sentence errors. The Freshman students of the 1927-28 English class have made a study of the sentence with its parts of speech. They have studied Sir Walter S ' cott ' s Ivanhoe and The Lady of the Lake, also William S ' hakespeare ' s Julius Caesar. The scrapbooks of Ivanhoe have been made by the combined efforts of all the students working together. The study of The Lady of the Lake was taken up by questions being asked about it. The students dramatized the play Julius Caesar. The Freshman students wrote some splendid poems and essays this year. A poem by Lynn Spaulding and an essay by Sybil Butler V, ere the prize winners. They appear elsewhere in this volume. Miss Geneva Langlois, our teacher, is a student of the Sthool of P ' peech of the University of Southern California and of the Uni- versity of Utah. She is an excellent teacher and is thought much CI by all her students. HISTORY he course in history for the year 1927-28 has been immensely inte)-esting. History is as old as yesterday, as true as today and as new as tomorrow. Our text this year has been especially fitting, it being Our World Today and Yesterday. Of course we are all interested in today ' s work and from the past we build our characters of today and the future. R. M. Kerr has rnade all history students love him by the methods he has used, his excellent opinions and advice and general kindness. 0 CIVICS The course offered in civics this year has been interesting and helpful to the students. The study of civics is the one subject that helps most to form a solid foundation for the coming generations to build a firm character upon. It is a study of the laws of the land. It helps one to choose a suitable vocation to follow through life. This year each student in the civics classes had to give a report on their chosen occupation. Through the close study of these oc- cupations they were made to realize more fully the advantages and dis- advantages they would meet in becoming efficient in their professions. Through the helpful suggestions and tireless efforts of Mr. Nelson, the students realize how essential it is that they become intelligent and worthy citizens. He has also succeeded in making the civics class one of the best in the high school. BIOLOGY tttl e students feel that our science work has been a success. The Biology department has in its study taken into consideration many things of importance to students. Biology is a study of living things , plants and animals. In our study we have learned, How these things live; their relation to one another; how they depend upon the physical world about them; and man ' s power to control 1bem. It has been fascinating and interesting . 0 AGRICULTURE In the fall of ]927 but few fellows signed up for Agriculture. From the good advertising we have given the course, there are indications that there will be a larger enrollment next year. We studied crops and their environment; soils, their classes and textures ; farm management, and crop rotations. Everything was done to make it a very beneficial and interesting course. We look forward to a bigger and better science department next year We have appreciated Mr. Cooper ' s efforts and wish him success. iiuair he music department consists of the Boys ' and Girls ' Glee Clubs, an orchestra of ten pieces, the best the school has ever had and the Music Appreciation Class. In this department the students learn to appreciate and enjoy the many fine qualities of Art in Music. The enthusiasm the students have manifested is wonderful. Each has done his part to assist Mr. Montague and help make the music department a success. The music department has been active in furnishing music for the school activities. Classes in technical work such as harmony, fundamentals and instruction in vocal and instrumental work have been conducted. In carrying out the musical program of the year, the department has had several objectives in mind, chief among them: the develop- ment of those taking part, the edification and entertainment of the listeners, the creating of a desire for a better class of music, and the advertisement and advancement of Madison High. eminary is a branch of the Madison High School. In seminary we have made a study of the Old Testament j this includes the creation of the earth and everything that is in the earth, the plants, insects, fowls, man and animals. It is the. history of the people upon the earth from the time of the creation to the coming of Christ upon the earth. It tellg of miracles and prophecies, performed and prophecied by men of God. It also tells of the destruction of wicked people upon the earth, at different in- tervals. In this study the student learns of his spiritual and moral exist- ence and what it means to him to live up to the commandments of God. This subject has been made very interesting through the co- operation of Cecil Merkeley, teacher, and the students. The seminary this year has been composed of about one hundred and ten students, the majority of whom have done commendable work. However, next year the plans are to cover Old Testament, New Testa- ment, Church History and Doctrine. We hope this will increase the enrollment. DOMESTIC SCIENC E he Domestic Science department of Madison High School has, W this year, prepared and served hot lunches to the school children, prepared and served the English Club luncheons as weW as a buffet luncheon and a Thanksgiving dinner. The money taken in from the hot lunches will be spent to buy equipment for the kitchen. Mis? Eva M. Davis is the director of this department. She graduated from the Brigham Young University of Provo, Utah, o DOMESTIC ART rhe Domestic Art department has been interesting and beneficial. ' Exhibitions were held in the J. C. Penney Company window and at Pocatello, which displayed some of the artistic work of the girls. An art exhibit was held at the end of the year. All articles were displayed. It ugh A. Anderson is a very capable Manual Training teacher. iX He has had three years in this work and a few years of practical experience. The boys have turned out various pieces of furniture such as cedar chests, library tables, tabarets, magazine racks, book ends, and floor lamps. We also put in some seats in the gym. Next year the Manual Training department is going to be divided into three classes; first year, second year, and advanced work. The Jirst year students will bi the ones that have never had any car- jienti ' y work and they will be taught the different joints, how to make them and also the fundamentals of carpentry. They will make a few .small articles. The second year class will spend its time making furniture, while the advanced students will make articles in hard wood and do other advanced work. iiattirmattra athematics is considered a practical subject. A knowledge of hi h school mathematics is indispensable to the study of nearly all science and to the pursuit of many arts and occupations. Mathematics and the beauty of its relations are the common treasures of all civilized people. The study of mathematics develops certain desirable mental habits. It cultivates the power of application and orderly arrange- ment, the testing and weighing of results. Properly taught it has few if any equals as a corrective for loose thinking and careless use of language. Algebra and Plane Geometry are mathematical subjects taught in Madison High School. Algebra offers the student an opportunity to become trained in the analytic mode of thought in a most simple and effective manner. It deals with literal numbers and their use in solving problems, simple e auations, the fundamental processes of arithmetic, factoring, square root, fractions and ratio and proportion. Plane Geometry has been studied for centuries by mature per- sons as a great intellectual discipline. Now that its study is chiefly confined to the secondary schools its subject matter has been con- siderably simplified and more emphasis is placed upon its relation to the practical affairs of life. This study deals with measurement, of lines and plane figures, construction, reasoning; it also develops habits of neatness, order, and honest thinking. MADISON IAN Hi iiiHiiiiaiiiiii !IIIIMIIi:illll!IBII![ini Speech is a mirror of the soul; as a man speaketh so is he. — Publius Syrus. ne of the biggest factors in Madison High ' s success is her Speech Department. No wonder that it has reached the height for which it aimed when the lessons have been carefully outlined so that the students could work as fast as they chose. The Freshmen have been studying the fundamentals of reading, thereby preparing themselves to follow up the work that the Sopho- mores have been taking this year, public speaking. The able teacher who pushed this department on to success is Miss Geneva Langlois, who is a student of the (School of Speech of the University of Southern California and who has the honor of being a member of the Zeta Phi Eta sorority, the oldest national dramatic fraternity in the United States. We all love and appreciate Miss Langlois and the work she has done for Madison High. mill! 1928 Hill THE CITIZENSHIP OF MADISON HIGH e the students of Madison High have been trying diligently during the past nine months to live up to the high ideals and standards of our school. We guard very closely against the lower- ing of our citizenship. We have had a wonderful school spirit throughout this year and have taken a great interest in helping Madison to grow. As the end approaches we feel a regret that we must leave. We love our school and there is not a student who has not enjoyed him or herself this year. Every student citizen is proud of the small effort he has put forth to make it a bigger and better school. Through the months of vacation we look forward to the time v hen we will again unite in our one great purpose. —SYBIL BUTLER. o THOUGHTS OF SPRING he March winds howl in a monotonous strain • m Today — tomorrow. Ten thousand years the same. And what of you and I who list? Here today, gone tomorrow, No one knows. April is the month of flowers And balmy springtime showers. May is the month of blossoms fair. The brooklets sing, perfumes fill the air. I could not choose which one I like the best. There is no choice. I must take them all as they come. —LYNN SPAULDING.

Although we were ruled out of the tournament we have played all the games in the same spirit that we would have done had we been allowed to enter the tournament. The Madison Bobcats have made an excellent showing. We have lost but four games out of all that we played during the season. Our basketball scores were as follows: Madison 31 Madison 36 Madison 35 Madison 25 Madison 37 Madison 14 Madison 26 Madison 31 Madison 17 Madison 20 Madison .- - 24 Madison 61 Dubois 27 Ammon All-Stars 24 Idaho Falls 17 Ammon 33 Rigby 13 Idaho Falls 12 Ammon 18 Rigby 21 Pocatello 21 Pocatello 26 Victor 35 Dubois 17 BASKETBALL Slanding— George Wood, Joseph Erdley, Coach Joseph Sellers, Grover Hemming, HoDey Carlson.

Kneelins— Lynn Spaulding, Jack Lewis, Thell Bunnell, Leon Parker Merlin Stephens, As soon as school commenced in the fall the girls started playing Basketball. The interest was increased when Miss Lloyd, with the aid of Mr. Sellers, chose a Freshman and Sophomore team. The Freshmen persisted in beating the Sophomores but it was of no use because the Sophomores would not take defeat and were finally victorious. (At least the Sophomores say so.) Luckily for the other schools the girls did not enter the league this year but they intend to next year. Interest died down for a few months but was awakened when the girls, under the leadership of Mrs. Tanner, decided to play with Ammon. The game was played with the score 22-5 in favor of Ammon. This did not discourage the girls, but it did arouse their fighting spirit. After a few nights practice they challenged Ed- munds to a game and beat them 19-11. Edmunds wanted to redeem themselves so they challenged Madison again and were beaten this time to a 21-5 score. Madison has some very good material and she intends to develop it more next year. ill 1928 lllll ' % — (i Ifnu mh 3 fou and I , the annual dramatic production of the Madison High School was presented Wednesday night to a large and appreci- ative audience at the Madison High auditorium. Miss Langlois, with her skillful ability, directed the play and play- ers to success. Rounds of applause were heard as each character was portrayed in almost true life by the students who were principally Freshmen. Great credit is due Miss Langlois for her untiring efforts with the Madison annual plays. Her entire heart and soul are put into this work which is proven beyond doubt when her productions are presented to the public. The synopsis of the play runs as follows: Maitland White, who has artistic ability, has jilted his aunt to marry Nancy Lynn. When his son, who has exceptional ability in architecture, becomes twenty years of age he falls in love and wishes to marry Veronia Duane. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. White object to the girl but both attempt to persuade Roderick that he should give up getting married and go to Paris to study architecture. But like his father he knew which of the two he wanted more and decided to get married and go into business. Before they are married Veronia discovers that Roderick possesses a rare gift and in order to save him, refuses to marry him by telling liim she doesn ' t love him. Mr. White, who is trying at the age of forty to develop his talent, gives up hope and everything and under false pretenses assists his son to attain his ideals and get the girl he loves. Each one taking part deserves special mention for the able manner in which he portrayed the character he represented. The cast was as follows; VERONIA DUANE .. RODERICK WHITE MAITLAND WHITE . NANCY WHITE ETTA G. T. WARREN GODFREY NICHOLS .. RACHEL MINSON LARELL NELSON LA VON S ' ORENSEN ... LAURA SKELTON ANN BYRNE WILFORD WIDSTEEN LYNN GEE nil MADISONIAN HIHIIIIEIHil he biggest musical event at Madison each year is the operetta. The J ' operetta chosen this year was In the Garden of the Shah. The music department feels very proud of the operetta this year as it was most successfully presented by a cast of fine principals and splendid choruses and was delightfully accompanied by the High School Orchestra. It was presented at Rexburg to a large crowd who enjoyed it very much. The story is as follows: Two young American miners were em- ployed by the Shah to run his gold mine. When they arrive the Shah is away and his daughter invites them in and entertains them until her father returns. One of the men falls in love with her and the other falls in love with one of the ladies-in-waiting. When the Shah returns he brings with him a Sheik who is to marry his daughter. He and the Sheik both try to get the girl ' s con- sent but she does not want to mari-y him. The Shah finally finds ( ut that the Sheik is broke and is only trying to rob the gold mine. He also finds out that his daughter loves the young American. He casts the Sheik from his home and has the Americans put in jail, but, jjs it always does in a story, love wins out and everything ends well. i:niu:inii ' iHii ' n!ii iBiiiiamiiiiBiii iBimniimiriB 1928 n the second week in January the school held inter class de- bates. The aim of the preliminary contests was to choose those students most competent to represent the school in debating. From these try-outs six debaters were chosen. The question in this league was, Resolved: That Capital Punishment Should be Abolished by law in Idaho. On the 17th of February the negative team, consisting of Mary Smith and LaVon Sorensen, debated with Rigby. Madison lost the decision. On March 30th, the affirmative team, consisting of Maiy Heath, and Edgar Wynn, debated with Ammon at Rexburg. Madison won this debate by a decision of two to one. The negative side of the question was upheld by Mary Smith and Marie Sharp who debated at Ammon. Madison won this debate by the unanimous decision of the judges. On the 18th of April the affirmative team consisting of Mary Heath and Victor Anderson debated with Ashton at Rexburg. The negative side of the question was upheld by Mary Smith and Marie Sharp, who debated at Ashton. Madison lost the decision. Although we have lost two debates out of three, Coach C. D. Cooper and all of the students feel that this year ' s debating has been very successful. This is the first year that the debaters have had any experience in debating. Madison, being a two year high school, has made a good showing with other four year high schools in debating this year. The prospects for another year ' s debating looks very bright. The majority of the debaters participating this year will be back next fall. he Minstrel? Oh, didn ' t you see it? Well it was simply a wow! Thell Bunnell and LaVon S ' orensen just kept the audience sway- ing like a rocker and Morris Pratt forgot that he was supposed to be a negro on the stage and just wiggled and wormed as though he were doing the Blackbottom. That ' s natural. Wilford Widsteen gave a decisive description of his best girl and everyone admired his choice. The way love treated Darrell Larsen was pitiful — it usually is when told by the men. He said that his wife always had to have the last word so he was going to take her out on the farm so she could fight it out with echo. The soloists were Sherman Lloyd, LaVon Sorensen, Echloe Smith, Hyrum Romrell, Lynn Gee, Darrell Larsen, Thell Bunnell, Leon Parker and Morris Pratt And say, if the opportunity ever comes to hear those seventeen talented voices again, do so. But remember this, it wouldn ' t have gone over like it did if it hadn ' t been for such a wonderful conductor as Mr. Montague. He ' s good! So give him your best praise because his hard work and ability deserve it. nil MADISON IAN l!IHII!|| ' IBiTII MADISONIAN lll|IIIIHIIIIIHIIinillllllll IHIIinillin!lllinillini: irrlamattcn Qlnntral r RACHEL MINSON GENEVA LANGLOIS Director ROBERT KERR adison has made a record this year in the Declamation Contest that even four year high schools would be proud of. We had four entries at the St. Anthony District Meet this year. One student from each field entered. Rachel Minson competed in dramatic read- ing, Laura Skelton in humorous reading, Mary Smith in extempor- aneous speaking and Robert Kerr in oratory. Laura Skelton won third place in the humorous reading. Rachel Minson won first place m the dramatic reading. She was entitled to enter the State Meet at Blackfoot, where she won second place. All four students who took part have obtained information and experience which they deem valuable. The capable coaching of Miss Geneva Langlois has made Madison extremely successful in the declamation contests the past three years. The declamation contests will be conducted differently next year. The orations that have been given other years were standard but next year they will be original and will be on some phase of the constitution of the United States. The State University is going to cooperate with the high schools to raise the standards in declamation contests. iniiniiiiiHiiiiHiiiiiHiiiniiiiHiiiiHiiiiiHiiiiinjiiniiii 1928 iiiniiiHiiiiiiiiiiiniiiii 1928 MADISONIAN illlllBIIIIHIIIIIBIIIIII he Boy ' s Club was organized the first week in October. The boys Km elected officers whose duty it was to keep order in the class looms, campus and halls — which they did very well. The club helped to prevent sluffing; they helped prevent unruly conduct in the rooms and halls; they kept the paper off the floors and did this by making laws. The penalty for breaking these laws was a number of spats with a large board weilded by a strong arm. The boys had a number of meetings and had prominent men speak to them on subjects that would help the boys to be better men. The officers of the club were: JOHN PORTER, President LA VON SORENSEN, Vice-President CONLEY WATTS, Judge SHIRLEY JENSEN. Sheriff ■IIIIIHI iiRiiiiniiiiiBiiiniiiiHiiiiHii: III 1928 iiniiiiii (StrlH (Elub Surino- the first wiek in October a girls ' club was organized under the direction of Miss Geneva Langlois. Any girl who lives up lo the laws of the school and the constitution of the club is eligible. The aim of the club is to uphold the high ideals of our school. The name selected was, The Pep ' er Club . True blue and pure gold are the colors, meaning truthfulness of mind and purity of heart. The emblem decided upon was a true blue bandanna handkerchief, with the name of the club written in pure gold. The girls ' club was exceedingly fortunate in having received a lecture by Mrs. L. F. Rich at one of the meetings. All of the meet- ings held by the club have been very uplifting and helpful to the girls. SngliBlr (Club he English Club was organized during the school year of 1926 and 1927, by Miss Geneva Langlois and C. Drue Cooper. All students receiving a grade of A for a single six weeks term are eligible for membership for that particular term and are invited to a luncheon which is always served the following Tuesday after the marks are out, at twelve o ' clock, in the Madison High dining room. If a student ' s mark falls from an A to a B he or she is automatically dropped from the club. 0— irlta Alplia (Sama (Club he Delta Alpha Gama Club, signifying Dramatic Arts Club was organized April 22, 1927, by the people taking part in the Smilin ' Through cast. Students eligible for membership to this club are those people who have been fortunate enough to win out in the try outs and have successfully played a part in the annual high school drama. If the coach, who is to be the only judge as to whether or not members of the cast have kept all the laws of the constitution, recommends such students to the Principal, they will be entitled to the Delta Alpha Gama pin, an enviable reward for their work. The students who have received the pins this year are Rachel Minson, LaRell Nelson, Laura Skelton, Ann Byrne, Wilford Widsteen and Lynn Gee. STUDENT BODY APRON AND OVERALL DANCE An a})ron and overall dance was given for the Student Body and Faculty, conducted by the student body officers. Those who did not wear aprons nr overalls were fined. STUDENT BODY HALLOWE ' EN PARTY n October 30th a Hallowe ' en party was given for the students vi of Madison High. Everyone came in costume and on entering the building they were obliged to go through the dungeons, or Spook Alley , where they were frightened by ghosts. Nadauld ' s orchestra furnished the dance music. Dancing and games were conducted by Mr. Montague so everyone was included in the fun. Most of the students, as well as teachers, obtained important knowledge from the fortune teller, which they deemed as valuable, especially the teachers. Punch was served. The party was very successful and everybody had a good time. They were shown the true spirit of Hallowe ' en. 01 SOPHOMORE DANCE 1 he Sophomores had their class party in January. It was under the direction of the class officers. The Freshmen and faculty were invited and most of the students and teachers attended. Lollypops were served to the Sophomores and suckers to the Freshmen, owing to the fact that it was Sophomore Day. The evening was spent in playing games and dancing. Splendid dance music was furnished by Nadauld ' s orchestra. CHRISTMAS PARTY n the 23rd of December we had our Christmas party in the gymnasium. A splendid program was presented by different mem- bers of the school. We had a big Christmas tree and S ' anta Claus came. He distributed to each one of us a present, given to us by the studenit who drew our name. After this we were dismissed foi ' Christmas holidays. GIRLS ' CLUB PARTY he Pep ' er Club gir had their party in the High School gym- nasium. The afternoon was spent in playing all kinds of splen- did games, under the direction of Miss Davis. Two sides, composed Oi the girls, were competing with each other in all of the activities. The Blacks having received the most points were the champions of the day. They were honored by being served before the Reds. Punch and cookies were served to the club members by the officers, the remainder of the time was spent in playing more games. Every one who attended it had an enjoyable time. THE TRIP TO THE SANDHILLS ur school went on a trip to the sandhills. Oh, what fun we had We made the trip in cars and toboggans. Sometimes it was all we could do to hang on the toboggans. When we arrived there some of the boys built a fire so we could get warm. We took our skiis and toboggans to the hills and coasted down. We often struck mud or sand but that didn ' t make any difference to us. We had as much fun as we wanted there, and then we went back to the cars. Another big fire was built, around which we sat and ate our hot dogs and chocolate. Late in the afternoon we started back home. Everyone had a wonderful time. THE TRIP TO PINCOCKS At the end of the year the students and faculty of Madison took their final trip to Pincocks. The journey was made in cars, furnished by the teachers. When they reached their destination they ate their lunch and then some of the students climbed the hili while others made investigation pertaining to the springs. Everyone went in the swimming pool and had a wonderful time ducking others and being ducked themselves. About tw o hours later they started for home. They sang songs and had a merry time. 1928 iiiniiiiniHiiii iiiiiiniiiniiiiii !!ll nil MADISONIAN l||| lllllll 1928 mil i iiiniiiini 1928 mil Graham-Boyle Hardware Co.
