Orpheus Club EIGHTY-FIVE vocal chords in action. Potential Madam Schumann-Heinks, that ' s what they are. They have possibilities — great possibilities. In the matter of volume, for instance, they have volume to spare. And as for a few slight discords, what does that matter in this enlightened day and age? No popular music is complete without them — the discords I mean. Seriously, however, the girls can sing. They have rendered various selections throughout the city and make a very striking appearance in their red and white dresses. The girl cast members were chosen from this group for the opera Lelawala. Lyres Club Now, all together! Well, why didn ' t you start? Will the tenor section please quit talking for just a few minutes so we can try this song? No, no, no! More volume. This is a pirates ' chorus, not a babies ' chorus! If the bass who is roaring so loudly must sing off tune please sing out in the hall. Craig Moore starts to leave the room. Mr. Fawson shouts Come here. . . . And the tenor singers were one quarter off pitch — which, of course, has no bearing on the matter at all. Once more! and the strains of Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum echo across the building. The Lyres rendered numbers at various programs throughout the year and their quartet, of which they are proud, has become very popular in the community and the school.

MAD I SON I AN X X X HOME ECONOMICS CLUB ' HE Home Economics Club was organized in 1930 by Miss Marie Kindred. It has grown until it is now one of the most active clubs of the school. The officers, with the splendid co-operation of the girls, have upheld all the fine standards and ideals established by Madison High School. They have also set up the following ideals within the club: Better co-operation between home and school; better understanding between teachers and students; opportunity to the other students of our school to see the value of Home Economics, through our activities; training for girls in becoming better home makers; greater appreciation for social contact, friendship, and the better things of life; closer contact with the work done by the State and National associations. The Home Economics Club has benefited the school as a whole, as well as its club members. It is the wish of every Madison student that this organization shall continue its meritorious work. DELTA ALPHA GAMMA The Delta Alpha Gamma Club was organized in 1927 under the supervision of Miss Langlois. Any student who successfully takes part in the Annual School Drama is eligible for membership. The club stands for high ideals, and all fine things pertaining to culture and refinement. Those added to the membership of the club this year and last 3 ear are: Irma Stowell, Lygia Parkinson, Verna Reese, Arlond Christensen, Elmo Smith, Jennie Swendsen, John Skelton, Rodney Dean, Maxine Simmons, Dean Packer, and LaVere Ricks. This year the Delta Alpha Gamma sponsored their annual formal party at the Hotel Idamont, January 14. THE MADISON SPURS The Madison Spurs Club was organized, November, 193 2. It consists of twenty-four energetic boys, twelve Seniors and twelve Juniors whose names follow: Carl Anderson, Clarence Byrne, Reed Clements, Arlond Christensen, Don Harris, Merle Fisher, Joe Mclver, Joe Middleton, LaVere Ricks, Elmo Smith, Don Snedaker, Maurice Sorenson, Max Bean, Jack Christensen, Rodney Dean, Jay Kerr, Dean Packer, Arthur Porter, LaVar Peterson, Bob Turner, Weldon Steiner, Mike Winzler, George Summers, John Weber. The officers are: President, Elmo Smith; Vice President, Rodney Dean; Secretary- Treasurer, Arlond Christensen; News Reporter, John Weber; Sergeant-at-arms, Clarence Byrne. The purpose of the club is to support all student activities, to promote a spirit of co-operation and friendliness, to maintain the ideals of manhood, to sponsor each year a jamboree for the boys of Madison High School. Even though this organization is young, it has been very successful and has made rapid advancement during the past year. Everybody has worked to increase his respect for our school ' s standards. We hope that in the future the same progressive spirit will still prevail. GIRLS ' CLUB On Monday, November 2 8, 1932, the Girls ' Club was organized under the manage- ment of Miss Anderson. The officers chosen were: President, Gladys Manwaring, Vice President, Lygia Parkinson; Secretary-Treasurer, Verla Belnap; Cheer Leader, Leola Rider; Program Committee: Senior, Edith Misseldine; Junior, Genevieve Wynn; Sopho- more, Claire Packer; Freshman, Mary Edith Weber. The Club has benefited all its members in innumerable ways. They have developed a spirit of true sociability and propitiousness. The club consists of every girl in the high school and so the possibilities of the girls have been expanded by their contact with each other, and by strict observance of school laws and etiquette. Some very successful movements have been sponsored by the club. The two most popular were Big Sister Week, and Girls ' Day with a ball as the concluding feature.
