Honk, honk, most notole Senior member, I am skum of the earth. Please pardon me for living. At the beginning of the 1933- ' 34 school term, the poor ' ' Goats (pledges) to the Madison Pepper Club were heard repeating these humiliating words to Senior Members of the Club. Terrible indeed were the embarrassments which the Goats had to endure; but still more terrible were their punishments if they failed to comply with any phase of the initiation. Even though the pledges were humbled and brow beaten they were proud to be chosen as members of such a progressive organization. The Pepper Club has been an enthusiastic supporter of every activity at Madison, operas, plays, school dances and especially basket ball games. Pep is their aim, and pep they have helped create at Madison. The Peppers have sponsored interesting asssm.tolies and have taken part on many programs. Their outstanding achievement in 1934 was the annua l Pepper Formal — a very successful and enjoyable dance. These girls have cheerfully contributed much to Madison in the way of stimmlating school spirit and upholding her morals. May their good work go forward forever.

Since the establishm ent of vocational education in agriculture in the high schools of the United States, there has been a need for an organization which would take advantage of the natural instincts and psychological tendencies in boys. The F. F .A., a national and state-iWide organization with local chapters in each school where vocational agriculture is taught, affords an outlet for these instincts. Such an organization gives an excellent op- portunity for students to learn the fundamental principles of group leader- ship and offers opportunities ifor competitive activities, such as live-stock judging, fitting and showing, etc. The Madison Chapter of the F. F. A. is justly proud of its recent ac- complishments. For the last two years its teams have won first plaice at the District Fair at Blackfoot and Pocatello. It has won first place in the Potato Show at Filer for three years straight. At the International Livestock Show at Portland, Oregon, this year, Madison won first place over 74 schools and George Summers was high point man for the entire show. Madison also won first place in the Livestock judging at the Ogden Livestock Show this year.

Officers were elsicted who were: President, Rodney Dean; Vice-President, Ted Carlson; Secretary and Treasurer, Mike Winzler; Faculty Adviser, D. W. Nelson. The Senior members then choose the new pledges and commenced to initiate them. The initiation lasted for one week during which time the goats had to do many humiliating things. They were put to the final test the last night at a special court at the High School, where they were punished for the rules they had broken. Those who endured these acts becamxe full fledged members. The following week the Senior memJbers gave the new Junior members a banquet in the domestic art rooms. The club has supported practically all of the activities of the school. The boys have acted as ushers for most of the assem blies and basketball games and at the annual Parents Day. Several of the fellows donned skirts on Parents Day and portrayed a ladies aid meeting. The skit proved to be a riot and was repeated at the Co-ed Vaudeville. Everyone had a ' ' shocking good time at the informal dancing party given by the olub in the Idamont Hotel. The K. K. K. Formal at the Playmore Ball Room wias one of the biggest social events of the year. May the coming years for the Kappa Kegga Knales Klub at Madison be as successful as this one has been.
