There are paths that lead down, and up, and across, There arc paths both narrow and straight, There are some, if you follow, will bring only loss, On others you work, hard and wait. Which one of these paths are you going to climb? We hope it will not lead you down, Will it be one that will make all life rhyme. Bringing pleasure and great renown? If you would be safe to meet life in all ways. Work well — use what you have on hand. Make the best of the teachings of training school days, And wealth, fame, and health you will one day command. — Anonymous 6Hn To you . . .

In the Senior Class, the ideals, standards, and accomplishments are in a large measure crystalized. As we look back over the past four years, we experience the feeling of having done something worthwhile. Outstanding accomplishments of this class were our annual play, Thumbs Up, a delightful mystery-comedy which was exceptionally well presented, and our ice-skating party, which was an enjoyable affair. This class faces an uncertain future; but, wherever we go, we will be strengthened by the pleasant memories of our high school days and the training which will prove invalu- able to us for the rest of our lives. e H i 0 t RlC HARD Al,BRI£TSEN F.F.A. 1-2-3 Airpl.ine Engines 4 Eleanor Armstrong Dance Club 2 Pepper Club 3 -4 M News Staff 2 Opera 1-3 Bi.AiR Arnold F.F.A. 1-2-3, Pres. 3 Football 3-4 Basketball 1-2-3-4 Co-Captain of Basket- ball 4 Track 3-4 Class Officer 1 LaVina Blunck Class Officer 1 Home Ec.

As green freshmen, we successfully completed our first year at Madison. We went through the usual state of hero-worship, and mental disorder at learning so much and finding out that we knew so little, but it was a happy and carefree time and we loved it. Our sophomore year brought us new plans for the future. The pep and enthusiasm of the class were especially keen. We won the scrap drive by a large margin, had four parties, and still were carefree in an educational sort of way. Dtitch McKenna made the Varsity that year; three drama students were in the school play; two were admitted into the Thespian Club; many went to the Music Contest; and two of the sophomores were elected Student Body Officers for the next year. We hailed our junior year with the vigorous hope of new freedom as upper classmen. Our scholastic standards remained high and our enthusiasm reaped its rewards. Dutch McKenna and Blair Arnold played forwards on the Varsity. Several students rated high in the Declamation Contest. Ruth Ccrdingley and Frances Craven took major parts in the school play. We entered the Music Contest and Declamation Contest, played an active part in M Day, and one of our junior classmates, Jacqueline Neeley, was elected as Miss Victory. Jeanne Skelton and Norma Jean Holley were Student Body Officers. Our Junior Prom and class parties were events to be proud of. Many juniors were elected Student Body Officers for ' 45, and we had our share of fun in the Pepper and K. K. K. initiations. Our class, somehow, was thinning down; the war was coming nearer, and some of the boys had already left. Our future was uncertain. Our senior year, however, erased some of the doubts and fears. We led the school in football, basketball, and dramatics. Ours was the power — we thought. Oh, we were smug, as all seniors have the right to be. A few of the activities in which we participated were the patriotic assembly at which the clever Senior Will was read, the dance, Senior Syncopation, and, as a highlight, our senior play, Thumbs Up, which was a glowing success, demanding a curtain call at the evening performance. At last, we thought, we should be able to look into our mirrors and see that ideal of our freshmen days, that hero whom we had worshipped so devotedly, but woe unto us! All we could see was that same face, a little more serious, perhaps, but our own. Now, it is hard to turn our backs to Madison and all that it means to us. However, we are prepared — come what may — with the highest of ideals, which our school has given us. Our one hope is that the future does not entirely erase all the pleasant, heart-warming memories we have acquired throughout the four years. e H i 0 1 P I a if Seatcil — Jeanne Skelcon, Margaret Rae Payne, Erma Neiwirth, Phillip Lowry, Garth Nelson, Naomi Buchmiller. Staiidhig — Mrs. Devenport, Director; Jannette Reed, Ray Cherry, Frances Craven, Lela Ann Richman, Bonnie Middieton, Norma Jean Holley, Jackie Neeley, John Anderson. Thumbs Up, story of a war-time family of young patriots, furnished plenty of fun for all concerned when it was presented on January 5 — cast, director, production staff, and audience. The latter is attested by the curtain call which the cast received — a distinction of which they are extremely proud. Mrs. Devenport, the director, was capably assisted by the following production staff: Emma Nei- wirth, Leatrice Lewis, Edith Harrop, Ray Dean Westover, Earl Siddoway, John Anderson, Jannette Reed, and Ruth Cordingley.

We ' ve had lots of fun — a wiener roast, dance, and roller-skating party. We ' re a class of scholars whose officers have put their shoulders to the wheel for the welfare of the class.

As freshmen, wc seemed to be a little timid when (.

The class and officers wish to thank everyone for being so considerate, because we were really green when we first entered Madison and needed help. We arc eagerly looking forward to another successful year. Front rou — Hugh Parker, Gene Palmer, De Vere Jones, John W. dinger.

In December the Debate Coach called a meeting of all those interested in debate. There were a number of very good prospects. In January the debate squad was chosen. We had a very excellent team throughout the year, and they showed outstanding ability in their achievements. speech C k 0 i WESTERN ETCHINGS Each vear the speech department has been outstanding for its entertaining school play, its one-act plays, and its achievements in the declamation contest. This year the department has achieved distinction in an- other form of expression — the choric pageant. With a speech choir of more than sixty members in costume, Western Etchings depicted the Indian, the cowboy, the pioneer, in the spirit of a by-gone day. Through the medium of the finest Western poetry, a picture was presented of the vast expanses, the sunlit peaks, the sun-baked deserts, the dashing streams, the murmuring pines, that make up this Western land. One of the important values of this type of activity is the opportunity that it gives to large numbers of students to participate. Of the sixty people in Western Etchings, each had at least one opportunity to perform as a soloist. The lighting, the art work, and the costumes were designed and planned by the students of the depart- ment. The script was compiled and arranged by Mrs. Hester Devenport, who directed the presentation. Choral reading done on such a massive scale is new to this generation, but is as old as art itself. It reached its heydey at the time the Greek civilization was at its highest peak. During the dark ages it almost died out, and was not revived until after the First World ' X ' ar. For sheer aesthetic and emotional enjoyment, its possibilities are unbounded. Though a few universities and high schools have experimented with this mode of dramatic expression, its vast potentialities are still almost untouched. BRYANT HANSEN Editor The M News plays an important part in school life, and affords the students valuable training in journalism and creative writing. The paper keeps students informed of school activities, promotes better understanding between students and faculty, and maintains better relations with other schools. It is published approximately every two weeks, with extras for special functions. At the end of the year, a special newspaper edition is printed in honor of the graduating class.

The Handbook this year was edited by Dee Armstrong, with Keith Larson as Assistant Editor. It is of great value to students, as it outlines the activities of the coming year, lists rules and regulations of Madison, explains the organizations at Madison and their purposes, gives a record of students ' past achievements at Madison, and acquaints the student with the traditions and high ideals that are a part of the Madison school system.

The National Thespian Honor Dramatic Society is an educational club in high school dr; ' .matics. The aim of the club is to create a spirit of active and intelligent interest in dramatics among high school students. Members arc chosen according to their ability in dramatics, determined by a point system. Under the able leadership of Mrs. Devenport, the club has completed a very successful year. The club calendar has included a study of the history cf drama from Grecian times down to the present age. Outside artists have been called into the weekly meetings to speak on the different phases of the drama. Each member receives the National Thespian Magazine monthly, and each new mem- ber is eligible to wear the club pin and Thespian letter. We, the Thespians of Troupe No. 10, have a right to be proud of our club. It is a valuable part of our school training. Cluh Ted Ellis Blair Manwaring Dee Armstrong Arthur Wilson President Vice-President Secretary Adviser The K. K. K. Club this year aroused some of their old spirit and contributed a great deal to the school spirit of friendliness. The most outstanding achievement was the estab- lishment of an annual dance in which the leading clubs of the schools immediately sur- rounding Madison were invited. This dance was established to better the feeling between the schools, and was very successful. 1, — Milt fry 1 ' .r t ■ A i 1 i Harold Rigby Dean Liljenquist Garth Nelson Dick Clark Bryant Hansen Donald Beesley Darreil England Val Middleton Keith Larsen Earl Wheelwright Lynn Neeley Bob Webster Arlo Trost Quentin Harris Lloy Ellis Garth Pincock P e p p e t C i u Norma Jean Hollcy Fmma Neiwirth Barbara Hcllcson Margaret Rac I ' aync Joye Terry Margie Sutton Pearl Anderson Krma Nciwirth President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Reporter Bouncer Adviser The Pepper Club has had one of its outstanding years this year.

For those who in later Hfe will be forces in the control of public opinion, the study of journalism is in itself a liberal education. Typing is a basic skill for all students who plan to enter the business world. The ability to use the typewriter is also a distinct asset to anyone in any field — any time. In the chemistry hiboratory, students develon technique in handling scientific apparatus, and test the facts and theories they read about and talk about in class.

ATHLETICS Sugar City ' s Ball Madison gains through Sugar ' s line Madison ' s football season was one of the most successful in the history of the school. By winning all of the games except one, which ended in a tie, the football team won the championship of the sixth district. Our thoughts these days dwell constantly on the millions of boys who are fighting our battle over thire and everywhere. The purpose of our athletic program is to make students physically fit to undertake unusually heavy tasks they will probably be called upon to assume in the near future. For some it will be in- duction into the armed forces. For this group, the program has as its objective the development of: (a) strength, endurance, stamina, and bodily co- ordination; and, (b) physical skills that will be of direct value and use in the armed forces and war work. For others it will be for employment in agricul- ture, industry, commerce, domestic services, and other essential occupations. The program has been for all students. Our objective has been to win our battles on the athletic field and win them fair and square, hoping there will be a definite carry-over in the battle for freedom and life. The recreational and educational objectives of physical education are important and stressed in connection with our program. In closing, I ' d like to say every boy in school should take advantage of the physical education opportunities offered. A large number have par- ticipated this year with definite advancement noted. Next year, with no exceptions, every student should join the physical fitness program. Coach Parkinson During our four years at Madison we have come to realize the true value of participation in sports. The development of physical co-ordination along with the ability to react properly in different situations is one of the many benefits derived from participation in competitive sports. Because we have gained much satisfaction and joy through our activities, we shall always be grateful for having had the opportunity to participate in Madison ' s athletic program.

Saskethall After playing one of the heaviest basketball schedules ever attempted by a Madison High School team, our Bobcats again came to the front in the Sixth District Basketball Tournarnent, and again emerged as co-champions, this time with the Idaho Falls Tigers. In the first game in the tournament, they won from a strong St. Anthony Cougar team 3 8-2 5. In the second game they defeated the Idaho Falls Tigers 3 8-31. With a position in the state tournament at stake the third night, they defeated the Rigby Red Devils 3 2-30. In the final game, the Tigers came back strong and defeated the Bobcats 28-2 5. Both teams will go to the state tournament which is to be held March 22, 23, and 24 at Twin Falls. The success of the team was due largely to their splendid team work and to the co-operation between the players and coaches. The Madison Student Body can again well be proud of their basketball team.
