MADISONIAN MADISONIAN CATmual for the School Year 1928-29 ruhlished b MADISON men SCIKXX Rexburg, Idaho FOREWORD Although the paths of glory trodden by master-men lead but to the grave, those who tread them mark the w ay with mile-stone of their deeds as they journey onward.

They may sound your praise and call ou great They may single you out for fame, But you must work with our running mate Or you ' ll never win the game; For never the work of life is done By the man with a selfish dream, For the battle is lost or the battle is won By the spirit of the team. You may think it fine to be praised for skill. But a greater thing to do Is to set our mind and set vour will On ihe goal that ' s just in ' iew; It ' s helping our fellowman to score When his chances hopeless seem; It ' s forgetting self till the g ame is o ' er And fightin; for the team. — Edgar . .

RY SMITH WILBUR BURKE LYNN GEE he Junior Class The first Junior class to be known at Madison High School was that class of 1928-29, and they well earned the name of Juniors. One of the finest Junior Promenades that has ever been patronized was that Spanish Patio Prom., given by this class. They have helped to make a name for Madison that shall never be forgotten and have helped to make it known all over the state of Idaho. The Juniors have been very well represented in all the activities of the school such as basketball, play, declam.ation contest, school parties, debates, and sports, etc. of various kinds. The} ' have tried to set a good standard for the other cla. :ses to follow.

Although we are not boss, as the former Sophomore classes have been, we have been one of the inspiring forces at Madison. The debates. Declamation Contest, basketball and school play speak well for the Sophomores as we were well represented in each. The Sophomore party was an outstanding success and an event never to be forgotten.

It was all new and strange to us, but e quickl - learned the life of high school students. We pulled oft a wow of a part ' on January 12, after the game with St. . nthon ' . The results of the popu!arit ' contest, sponsored by the Freshmen, were given during the dancing. E er one present thought the party a big success. The Freshmen have been a source of power to the student bod ' and have actively supported all school activities. The class made a fine showing during the inter-class competition. The staff wish to thank the Freshmen for the money received as a result of the popularity contest.

The members were all er - lo al and worked diligentl - to make the orchestra better than it has e er ben before. The best t pe of music that could be had was contributed to assemblies and other special programs. The outstanding perform- ance a duiing the presentation of the Opera. The Crimson Star, 1 51 i This bunch of niggers in the picture are all high school students and boys at that despite the appearance of LaRelle Nelson on the front row. LaVon is the only one who looks white but they are all their natural color underneath. Being negroes for awhile has given them a new outlook and a new stock of jokes. [ 32 I One ot the mo t outstanding features of the music department this year was the negro minstrel given by the Boys Glee under the direction of Mr. L. A. Montague. The boys surely did well, life and fun characterized the whole performance from start to finish. Fat Widsteen, Bus Larsen, .Morris Pratt, Harold Lenroot, LaRelle Nelson and Red Lewis as end men with Laven Sorensen as 1 nterlocuter, furnished some very cle er comedy which was supported b ' a splendid chorus of about forty boys. The solos were enjoyed greatly as was evidenced by the hearty applause. Follow ing the first part was a dialogue between Melvin Larsen and I larold Lenroot. This was succeeded by a one-act farce which was very well done under the direction of Miss Florence Peterson. The two negro women were well Impersonated by Shirley Jensen antl LaRelle Nelson. Red headed befros are very rare but you surel ' saw one if ou were there; Red Nadarld as Measles. The Minstrel throughout was a decided success and the boys deserve all the credit gi en them. Next year they hope to put on another and make it, if possible, a bigger success than this year. Many of us that were ' out front ' the night of the Minstrel wondered what had happened when Rolla started to roll the cur- tain in and I larold Lenroot let out a jell, that would have sent a Sioux Indian off the warpath, back to the reservation to loosen up his vocal chords. It seems that I larold had taken advantage of the opportunity offered to see how the audience would look from a small ' ear in the curtain. He had just got his nose out of the hole when Rolla, the erstwhile curtain } ander. ga e a tug on the rope. Naturally this caused Harold ' s smelling organ to be slightl ' misplaced. Luckily the trouble was obser ed in due time and little serious damage resulted to the inquisitive young man ' s profile. Due to the law of gravity, what goes up must come down and Harold is d ' )ing er nicely. Perhaps a tei this he will refrain from further, like jKutimes. Opera The Madison Opera, 1 he Crimson Star, was presented in the Auditorium on April 24 and 25. It was very successful because of the splendid work of the Music cif p.iriment. It is the most difficuk Opera yet presented in Madison High, but the ieeling of life and humor as well as sentiment was successfully portrayed. We thank Mr. Montague for this splendid work he has done in presenting the Opera. Under his supervision together with Miss Florence Peterson, dramatic art teacher, and Mrs. Emma Sorenson, dancing teacher, the Opera was made one of the best entertainments of the year. ' The students worked very hard on this production this year and although it was well presented, it is each person ' s sincere wish that it will be bigger and better next year. The characters were: Delia Laura Skelton King La Von Sorenson Leo (Kings stepson) . Shervmn Lloyd Greta (Delia ' s foster daughter) . Orvia Skelton Borah (King ' s nephew) . Wilford IVidsteen Gilly (Borah ' s Sister) . Maxhie Ovard Duchess De Borah (Borah ' s Mother) , Mildred Smith Lady Pat .... Pearl Andregg Colonel Bugg . . .

They started out h ' cleaning up the district tournament on the 7th, 8th, and 9th of March. Other par- ticipants in the tournament were Rigby, Idaho Falls, Victor, Ashton and Driggs. Attorney Soule of St. Anthony and Attorney Denman of Idaho Falls ga e them the decision when the ' debated Blackfoot for the inter- district championship. They showed up well in the state meet at Nampa, April 1 1 and 12. The negatixe team defeated Buhl but the affirmative team lost t(j Buhl. The judges were: Professor Neuton of Nazarene College and Professor Garland of the U. of 1. Buhl won the state by 2 per cent on a percentage basis. The affirmative side was upheld b - Sherman Lloyd, A arie Sharp, and Mar ' Smith and Lu None Clark, alternates. The negative was, upheld b ' Mary Fleath, Laura Skelton, L nn Gee and Edgar Wynn, alternate. Sherman was chosen on the .All-state team of three. Yes, we ' re proud of our debaters.

Manv students tried out in each di ision and in some instances it was necessary to hoUi a second contest to deter- mine the persons to represent the school. Those successful were: Mar ' Smith, extemporaneous; Grace Parkinson. I I timorous Reading: F-rancis Anderson. Dramatic Reading: Robert Kerr, Standard Oration: LaVon Sorensen. Original oration on the constitution, sponsored by the Salt Lake Tribune. L ni.ler the able coaching of .Miss Peterson we won two firsts and two seconds, out of fi e entries in the District Meets. Francis .Anderson won first and Mary Smith and Robert Kerr seconds in the meet at Idaho Falls. La ' on Sorensen won first at the constitution oration meet at Rigby. Thi;) entitled Francis And erson and LaX ' on Sorenson to enter the state meets. Francis .-Xnderson won first in the state meet at Nampa. with his selection. The Finger of God. LaX ' on Sorensen entered the meet at Pocatello and carried off first place with his oration, The Constitu ' i n in the Dail ' Life of the Individual. LaN ' on ' s dix ision is internationrl, and we certairl - w ' sh him the laurels in the inter- state meet at Los Angeles, to which he will journev b ' aeroplane with all expenses paid. r 37 1 Racht ' l .Minson as Diana tried her best to vamp La ' on as Donald Brown but she was unsuccessful in favor of Peeks acted by Afton Larsen. In spite of her superb acting she was cut out in the last act because fate decreed. It looked as if Ted and Grace, acted by Darrell and Laura, were out of luck but strange to sa} ' the death of Ted ' s L ' ncle made things rosy instead of blue. Mrs. Farnum, characterized b - Afton Allen, just couldn ' t add and Lu None Clark as Rannie had as yet failed to fire Lynn as Bill Bo d. the night watchman who couldn ' t shoot. All these held the audience spellbound so the pla ' was a great success. r 38 I School Play I he cast of I nder Twenty, responding to the able coaching of .Miss Peterson, have creditably upheld the standards of Madison High in the presentation ot the school pla} ' . They worked earl and late, bill the result v as a just reward. The cast follows: Donald Brown La ' un Sorensen Peeks 1-arnum ' ifton Larsen Teil Rutherford Darrell Larsen Grace l arnum Laura Skeltoii .Mr. .M. r. i-arnum Wilford Widsteen .Mrs. I-arnum Ajton Allen Rann - Lii Sone Clark Bill B() d ......... Lynn Gee Bozo, a dog ........ Friti Sorensen RI-lin.ARS.ALS It was interesting to a casual obser er to watch the budding young actors of the I nder Twenty cast, during rehearsals. .Mmost in ariably Rachel would miss her cues because she was so intent on applauding the junglistic antics ot the male members ot the cast. Wilford idsteen as a dignified father would be doing a Jekv ll and 1 l de performance off stage. While our student bod - president was likelv an ' moment to begin the portrayal of a human wreck (that is LaVon ' s name for it.) Just e actl - what this wreck was supposed to be is not quite clear, but at least we discovered it had black russet anil two kinils o! smut. But it seems that Wilford at last forgot to get angr ' and sa ' , Well, all right. Miss Peterson, 1 will. .And although he had gi en us a portra al of the Missing Link, faithfull - at exery rehearsal, all his and the others peculiar actions were forgotten on the final night. [ 39 J The oys Club The Boys ' Club, made up of all male members of the student body, has had an active and profitable year. The meetings held each month have furnished an avenue for entertainment and instruction. Special lectures and musical numbers have been brought in to add to these and make them more worth while. One major project has been undertaken by the club this year. It was felt that one of the greatest needs of our school was a more beautiful campus. In carrying out this program, the boys have shown a very splendid attitude. Trucks and equipment were furnished by members of the club, and the grounds have been placed in excellent condition by their efforts. Load after load of good soil was hauled, and all preparations were made for seeding the grounds to lawn. The students look forward to being greeted upon their return next fall by a more beautiful and attractive campus than it has previously been their privilege to enjoy. An outstanding feature of the work of the club this year has been its organiza- tion to take care of disciplinary problems. Upon the request of the members of the club, they affected an organization that has cared for practically all mis- demeanors committed by the male students. We believe this is a step in the right direction, and that in addition to improv- ing the general conduct of our school, it is furnishing the students with valuable experience in self-government. The executive officers of the court this year were: Lenard Jensen, Judge; Kenneth Bell, Sheriff; Ross Harris, Court Clerk. Mr. Devenport and Mr. Anderson have acted as faculty advisors for the club this year. THE GIRLS ' CLUB Early last fall the girls ' club was organized with the purpose of uplifting the general standards of their school. This purpose was three-fold. First— to promote the health and comfort of the girls. Second— to set and uphold high moral standards. Third— to take care of the general social needs of their school. The organization was arranged in committees. The general committee was at the head with the special committee acting under it. The project of the girls ' club was the improvement of the rest room. This was carried over with the co-operation of the business men and people of the community. The girls all wish to thank Miss Peterson and Mrs. Sorenson for their wonder- ful help and advice as they realize that in them is an exa mple of real womanhood. [40 ] The English Club The English Club was organized in 1926, under the supervision of Miss Geneva Langlois and Mr. C. Drue Cooper. All students receiving a grade of A , for the single six weeks term, in English are eligible for membership. They are invited to attend a lun- cheon given in the Madison High dining room the second Tuesday after each term expires. 1 f a student ' s grade drops lower than an A he or she is aucomatically dropped from the club. .More students have had membership in th,e club this yeaj than any other season in its history, making 1928-29 its banner ear. The Delta Alpha Gamma Club The Delta .Mpha Gamma Club, was organized in 1927. Any student of Madison who successfully takes a part in the Iligh School Drama is eligible for mem- bership. 1 f the coach w ho is to be the sole judge recommends them to the faculty they receive a Delta Alpha Gamma pin. an en iable reward for their work. The second year students take part in the drama the ' are given a guard for their pin and the third ear the ' are presented with a Delta .Mpha Gamma ring. This ear the cast of the play, Under Twenty, certainh ilid its share to uphold the high standards of the club. . few lUins after the presentation of the play the club had a banquet. Everyone present had an en- joyable time. Students who received guards this year are: Rachel Minson, Wilford W idsteen. Lynn Gee, Laura Skelton. Students who received pins are: Afton Allen, Afton Larsen, Lu None Clark and Darrell Larsen. [ 41 ] Last fall some hundred and fifty students registered for Seminar)-. During the 3 ' ear those students ha e received valuable training under the able direction of Mr. Gibbons. And as any Seminary student can tell you, the lessons have not been from books. But in- valuable discussions of philosophy and doctrine have taken up the interest of the classes. The Seminar) ' students all feel that they owe a great debt to Mr. Gibbons for his very capable teaching. [ 42 1 epartmen ts One ot the mcdiL ' in dl (.xfiression is ianguage. That we ma - express oLirsehes more ciearl -, our schools pro ' ide English Departments. The English students all displa}ed their interest in this subject by taking active parts in contests. l iie literature projects produced splendid results. The students ha e made good use of practical problems of English. The new (Commercial Department has been useful to all the school. Se eral students ha e been awarded certificates and pins for writing the standard number of words per minute. W e look forward to a larger and better department in the future. The courses in Social Science have been interesting and helpful to all the students. Success results from solving everydav problems successfull - and this course has gi en us a good iew of man - problems and methods of solution. Special isits were made to State Institutions. The Science Department has been one of the most interesting of all. The students now realize the importance of such subjects and can understand and appreciate better the things we have today. The students enjoyed their classes immenselv on iheir dail ' hikes. These subjects are made practical. Home Economics has been very beneficial to the girls of Madison. All ha e enjo ed their v.ork under the able direction of Mrs. Sorenson. The special actix ities, including banquets, hot luncheons, bazaars and entertain- ments ha e been er ' successful. The students of the Dramatic Art class ha e taken part in the majority of school acti ities. Madison is proud of these students. All enjoyed their work inder the untiring efforts of Miss Peterson. Mr. Montague has been very successful in directing the Music Depart- ment. The students ha e furnished arious entertainment for the school. Wonderful talent has been displayed in the operas, concerts and programs that ha e been rendereci. The bovs ha e been benefitted greatl - b ' taking Manual Training. They ha e learned to face ever da ' problems and ha e become great builders. Mi. . nderson is a e; ' efficient teachet. 1 he Seminars ' classes are becoming larger. The work has consisted of Old Testament New Testament and Church History and has been very interesting. The students are beginning to see a great value in this study. Mr. Gibbons has been a ( r ' successful teacher.

We entered the district tournament without a single defeat in league competition, except one forfeited game to Victor. . t the tournament we won four fast games in three day play from Ashton, Driggs, Victor and Idaho 1-alls to claim the championship trophy. Eardley center and Watts forward were placed on the .All-C onference team which was chosen the night of the championship game. Watts scored a total of 55 points to lead the scoring. He had a total of 222 for the seasons ' |ila ' which i ives him an average of 1 1 points per game, w hich is an excellent record. At the State Tournament we were successful in defeating the fast Ltwistop aggregation in the first game, 31-29 but lost two hard fought games to Boise and Pocatello by small scores. We were awarded the sportsmanship troph ' at the state tourna- ment as a result of the excellent sportsmanship displaced by the fellows in the tournament games. Clean pla was characteristic of all the games played this year and uo feel proud to be judged as the best sports in the state tournament. We plaveel twentv-one games during the basketball season, winning sixteen ol them, and losing five. Three of the five were to the champion- ship Pocatello five, winners of the state championship, the other two were to Salmon ( ity and Boise. A fast passing attack was developed by Coach Biddulph which pro ed successful enough to pile up a total of 647 points to our opponents 356. With the return of the entire team next ear. we hope for i even greater success.

Students and patrons of the school, confident of the ability of the Juniors, attended with the assurance of a good time. They made no mistake. Realizing that the capacity of our own Gym would not be equal to the occasion, the Ricks College Gym was procured. A Spanish theme was carried out in the decorations. The Spanish Patio was surrounded by lattice work of green, over which red and pink roses trailed in profusion. The light and star effect. During the course of the evening there was a unique demonstration of the Spanish Serenade. Anne Byrne and Morris Pratt were the principals, and Messers. George Larsen and Ted Ellis played guitars. The music for the dancers was furnished by Pond ' s Orchestra. These things, together with the cordial spirit that pre ailed, made it an occasion long to be remembered.
