What was considered by many as the most outstandinig op-era ever pro- duced at Madison was presented Novemlber 23 and 24 to capacity audiences Jerry of Jericho Road. The story was a very interesting one, having the setting in an old ranch that had been converted into a tourist camp. LeOla Rider had the leading role as Jerry, with Arthur Porter playing opposite her as Johnny Bran- don. Together with Barbara Hegsted as Sandy and Max Bean as Allan O ' Day, they furnished a numiber of touching love scenes. Zola Nadauld as Mimi, John Weber as Cornelius Bean, Margaret Poole as Lettice Bank, Mark Siepert as Amos Bank, Clea Roylance as Dora and Deloy Beattie as Uncle Pete furnished the humor for the show. The part of the villain Hunter, was portrayed by Wendell Mendenhall. The dancing and choruses were also very good. Mr. Fawson, general director oi the opera, is to be complimented for the splendid production.

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.

Doesn ' t it thrill you to hear the Madison High School Band play or see it marching down the street in perfect formation? And to think that this group of 90 talented musicians started out in 1930 with only 12 members! At the first of the year, Mr. Fawson hitched his wagon to a star by deciding to increase the memhership of the band. Unlike most wagons, it reached it destination, and as a result we have a bigger and better band than ever before. This is the first year the band has entered the music contest in Class A. This improvement was made possible by the increase in m.embership and the addition of many new instruments. A bassoon, tympani and French horns were purchased by the school. The band put on a dance, the Peanut Prom, and raised additional funds for cymbals and music. The band has played at many school events and given some very good concerts. The of ficers are: President, John Weber; Vice-President, LaVar Peterson; Secretary-Treasurer, Dixie Miller.
