Dean Packer was elected president, Vern Nichols, vice-president and Mike Winzler secretary and treasurer. This club had charge of the tennis courts and arranged two tennis matches with Idaho Falls. Madison won the first match and Idaho Falls the second. With the completion of the tennis courts on the campus, this should become a major sport in the future.

A menagerie winning the district basket ball tournament and going to the state tournament— not probable but possible. Things did not look so bright for Madison in basket ball this year. Only one man, Dean Packer, captain, was back from last year ' s main squad. The rest of the team had little experience and had been termed by some as looking more like a menagerie than a basket ball team. With th s material, Coach Biddulph undertook to build up a team with which to enter the dis- trict tournament. During the season the Bobcats exchanged games with Montpeller, Poca- tello, Sugar City, St. Anthony. Grace, Idaho Falls, and Ashton. They we-e defeated by Grace, Pocatello and Sugar City. At the district tournament, all odds were for Sugar City to play Rigby in the final game for the champion- ship The upset came when Madison won three straight gamies from Ashton, St. Anthony and Sugar City. The following night Sugar City beat Madison. This made it necessary to carry the tournament over unt ' l Monday, when Madison beat Sugar City and again were basket ball champions of this district. The Bobcats journeyed to Moscow to the State Tournament the next week. In the first game with Moscow, they went down to defeat but came back and won their next two games which gave them the consolation chamipionship. The eight men who entered the district tournament and went to Moscow were: Earl Walters, center; Dean Packer, forward; Paul Harr ' s. forward; Bob Turner, guard; Rodney Dean, guard; Ralph Hallstrom, forward; Lynn Morris, forward; Jay Kerr, guard.

And-erson One of the best plays staged at Madison was the criticism of the audience after witnessing the excellent dramatic showing of Madison High School ' s annual school play, Her Step-Husiband. The play was a high class comedy and was a ,s)cream from start to finish. The cast had exceptional ability and carried their parts to a perfection, under the able coaching of Miss Peterson. Fenemor Davidson as the Step-Husband kept the audience in a continued fit of laughter. Maxine Sintnons with her romantic dreams caused her husband Harvey P. Marshall, played by Ted Carlson, many worries. A great deal of praise is due to the entire cast for such an excellent production.
