MADISONIAN ' 77 Madison High School Rexburg, Idaho ■ Though tragedy has come and the ordinary has gone, Something was left that to us belongs. Left was the strength from pain and sorrow, To face the hardships of tomorrow. Gained was brotherhood from working together, Building friendships that would last forever. With loss of possesions humility was found, Which made us more tightly bound. 8 And with all this we had a smile, for the journey ahead mile upon mile. But greater are we for this experience, to add to our lives and our souls enrich. 11 STUDENT BODY Student Body Officers devise new system Unity was the goal Student Body the intercom at the beginning of officers reached for, when they each Monday, informing students escaped tradition by creating a of activities of the week , creating new system, which gave each better school communications, class an opportunity to win the Old customs were not abandoned Spirit Stick at different times in as Student Body officers had Exec- the year, destroying student apa- uti e Council meetings weekly, thy.

With the help of the returning lettermen, the Bobcats were prepared for a good season. After the first five games on the schedule, the Bobcats found themselves with one win and four losses. Bobcats were stuck in a rut and couldn ' t get it together. As the season progressed , the improvement of the Bobcats became apparent with every game. When the Bobcats knocked off Blackfoot and number two ranked Rigby in consecutive games, no one was in doubt of the overall improvement over the season. Our Big Red Machine ended its season with a record of twelve wins and eight losses. -a Daniel Andrus Forward Milch Grove r Center Blake Thatcher Guard Danny Westover Forward 92 John Hamilton Forward Jeff Rydalch Guard Lorin Sommer Center Ban Stevens Guard 1 ' 1 Roben Winn David Wright Jerry Grover John Heer Guard Guard Coach Manager Kent Sutton Guard 1.

Such wet spots are not unusual when earthen dams are first filled, so no one was overly concerned. But two days later, Teton Dam pro- ject engineer Robert Robison reponed to his superiors in the bureau, notice of major leaks was first given . It was 8:30 a.m. , June 5, a Saturday. One leak was near the top of the dam at the junction of the dam embankment and the right abutment, Robison ' s report said: muddy water poured out at the rate of two cubic feet per second (cfs). A second leak, pouring out 50 cfs developed at the down- sueam toe of the dam near the bottom. Robison put contractors to work plugging the leaks with large rock and channeling the water flow toward the tailrace, according to his report. But another large leak developed 15 feet from the right abutment. In Siepen ' s absence, Rexburg policemen and sheriff ' s officers had been at work evacuating the town ' s residents to high ground near the Ricks College campus. The officers had been working from 11:30 and had people pretty well cleared out , Sie pen said . The town was dead . Siepert and his men were back and fonh canying out property and making sure all people were out of the low area when the water struck the town. It was 3:30 p.m. It looked just like a kind of prairie fire out in front of the water, kicking up dust, and it didn ' t look like it was moving that fast , Siepen recalled . Siepen and his men stayed ahead of the water as it entered the town from the nonh. It hit the buildings by the river first. We could see it was taking cars in front of it . . . lots of logs and stuff , and it was picking up all kinds of things . ' ' one of them, a National Guard plane, Idaho Gov. Cecil D. Andrus was observing the devastation. Poclaiming himself overwhelmed by the size and scope of the disaster, Andrus declared a state of emergency and sought designation of the flood area as a national disaster area. Units of the Idaho National Guard are activated. Meanwhile, the water bore down on Idaho Falls, largest of the cities in the path of the flood. Upstream, Roberu and Menan, farming communities, braced for the onslaught. In Rexburg, police chief Siepen and his men edged patrol cars into the flooded areas and trucks and jeeps made deeper forays. Darkness began to fall on Rexburg. It was 9:15 p.m. The water receded slowly. Siepen could not move hi s men into the town ' s northern ponion until 3a.m. Outside the towns, the rich farmland that nunured young crops of potatoes, suger beets, hay and grain lay under a thick brown ooze. Animal carcasses doited the landscape. By Connie Christensen of Rexburg, the disaster was measured in Biblical proponions. It looked like a plague, she recalled. It looked like the ' Ten Commandments ' when smoke came in and killed every- body. Houses, trailer homes and trucks were floating in it. Black smoke was billowing all over from the fires. ' ' You could hear the cows all night long , the poor things . ' ' It was 5a.m. June 6, a Sunday. At daybreak Sunday , civil defense workers in Rexburg issued the first of a series of mournful bulletins: four known dead. President Ford declared four flood-torn counties a national dis- aster area: Madison, Fremont. Bonneville and Bingham. A fifth county, Jefferson, was later added to the list. To Rexburg, Idaho, hardest hit by the flood and home of most of its victims, a sleepless Roger Poner, editor of the Standard and Journal, brought home his first post-disaster edition, printed outside his water-ruined shop. Devastating flood water can ' t drown out spirits, boasted the newspaper ' s banner headline. (Taken from TRAGEDY:. A CHRONOLOGY OF THE TETON DAM DISASTER, compiled by the staff of The Blackfoot News. ) It was 10a.m. Working frantically with bulldozers, workmen attempted to plug the leak. Within an hour a whirlpool had developed on the upstream side of the dam opposite the leak. It was 11 a.m. The bulldozers began pushing riprap material into the whirl- pool. Behind them, the hole in the downstream face of the dam grew larger. According to the Bureau of Reclamation, a warn- ing of impending disaster was called to the Madison County Sheriff ' s Office downstream in Rexburg. It was 11:30 a.m. Two of the bulldozers were swallowed by the growing opening in the dam face; their drivers jumped to safely. And then all hell broke loose. Said Robison in his terse repon: The dam was breached and a tremendous wall of water surged through the opening. It was 11:57 a.m. The water continued its rush down the canyon, but flattened out and slowed down as it entered the plain above Rexburg. Rexburg Police Chief Blair K. Siepen was making a call at a spot some 20 miles from the dam when he was notified of the rupture . It was 12:50 p.m. Siepen rushed back to Rexburg, beating the water. I could see it from the top of the hill, he said later. It was just below Newdale. Siepen realized the force of the flood when he saw it engulf a lumber mill on the town ' s west side. The logs - I would guess they were 15 or 20 feet - they would break and they were tumbling end over end coming through here chopping off trees and tearing most of the homes off their foundations. Vaughn Wagoner watched the flood from a rooftop on high ground. It was a wall of water, dusi and logs rolling in front of ii. Walking into it would have been just like walking inio a brick building. Down where I lived, it was about four or five feet deep..l could see steam go into the air when it hit the sawmill. Then the Continental Oil bulk plant blew up. You could see the flame going along on top of the water. A trailer house came floating by and caught fire. I was standing on a rooftop and 1 couldn ' t see my house, but I could see the uailer park just through the golf course . I was watching it and I turned around to look downtown just for a minute. I turned back around and the trailer park was gone. Lying between the dam and Rexburg were the communities of Teton and Sugar City. Directly in the path of the cascade, Sugar City was totally devastated. Teton was spared as the water swept by at 12 noon. It was 4 p.m. The air above the flood plain was by now alive with aircraft.

IT ' S MAY ' 77 - WE STAND ONCE MORE NOW ON THE OTHER SIDE OF MADISON ' S DOOR WETAKE WITH US MEMORIES. KNOWLEDGE, HOPES, AND SOME FEARS, FEELING BETTER EQUIPPED TO CHALLENGE THE YEARS. GOOD-BYE OLD HIGH We gather once again before the parting With friends and class-mates we shall ne ' re forget. We think of days gone by, and years that seem to fly Since on the thresh-hold of our school we met, We know not what the future holds before us, We cannot know the things that are in store, But old high you ' ve paved the way We ' re ready come what may Our happy, happy school days now are o ' re. No matter where we go or wliat befalls us, The scenes of days gone by shall ne ' re depart And in our hearts will ring, the songs we love to sing. Sweet memories will linger in each heart. The future lies beyond and we are standing Upon the threshold of a new-born day. May its cheery light e ' re shine, Across your path and mine, As hope-fully we journey on life ' s way. Good-bye, old high, the play is o ' re and the curtain falls, Good-bye, old high, we pass today from these well-l ved halls, Good-bye, old high, through smiles and tears; mid h ;pes and fears, Through all these happy golden years, we ' re all for you!!!
