The Junior Class Study Hall, M. M. II. S. May 12, 1932 Dear Mary: As you asked me to write you about all the Juniors and what they’re do- ing, I am going to try to tell you everything in this letter. There is so much to say that. I hardly know where to begin. The first thing we did last Fall, was to elect our class officers. We elected Robert Schack, president, Joe Austin, vice president, Gordon Hejduk, secret- ary and Leo Koren, treasurer. At the end of the first semester Robert moved away, and “Buck” took his place as president. We then elected Karl Stegmuel- ler vice president. As you know, it is customary for the Juniors to give the Seniors a banquet in the Spring. Naturally, our first business was to earn money for this and other class expenses. While we were still debating what to do, a representative from the Curtis Publishing Company came to see if we didn’t want the job of selling subscriptions for their three magazines. Well, this looked like a fairly good proposition to start on, so we accepted the offer. For two weeks, anywhere in town you might have gone, you would have seen a Junior standing on a front doorstep trying to argue some housewife into buying a magazine. Oh yes, I must tell you in what an interesting way we carried on our campaign. We had our class divided into two Indian tribes, the green feathers and the red feathers. “Buck” was chief of the red feathers and I was chief of the green. twenty-sir

THE CALDRON. 1932 Roland Miller is a coach of football at the “University of Akron,” and he owns the cutest cottage that Dorothy Gardner has helped to make a home. Elizabeth Stocking, lias capitalized her name and she now has a Stocking Shoppe. Would you like to inherit a million dollars? That’s what has happened to Margie Peters. She has started an Orphan’s home. Of course she has always been a big hearted little girl. Have you heard the latest about Butch Knit lie? He is a professor of Eng- lish at Ohio State University. The great Astronomer, Evelyn Manley, has been seeing great things. In her latest interview with the newspapers she claims she has seen something move on Mars. Gertrude Eland is an Acrobat on Keiths Circuit. Shq certainly does a lot of traveling with her hands and feet. Virginia Smead is known in New York City as one of the most brilliant business women of the present day. One of the greatest Concert pianists, John Beall, is in Madison next week. You certainly should hear him play Schubert’s “Serenade.” Marjorie Stearns is very very wealthy and is always giving parties for the needy. She says the Girl Reserves influenced her to do this. Well, well, if we aren’t at the Metropolitan Opera House. Kenny Walker, can we believe our eyes? He is a great singer and when you think of the simple little songs he used to sing for us, you have to give him a pat on the back. Let’s sail down Broadway and see some of the every day happenings. Why there’s one—a, Salvation Army band. Why it can’t be Bruce Miller. Yes, it is ! No one can tap drums and smile at the same time just as he does. Hurray for him! Howard Fairchild is one of these people who is always receiving money. In the city we call him a banker. Now as for Lillian Wingard and Mildred Peterson, you can see their bright faces if you stop at the “Pet Pig”, for a bite to eat. They are partners and are getting along as well as usual. Speaking of Partnerships, we’ll have to add Burton Fish and Robert Mc- Kim. They are the owners of about three thousand acres of farm land that seems to be flourishing if you can judge by the wav they roll in Rolls-royces. Frances Hall has just passed the bar and now can take the law in her own hands. Yes, Mary Davet is an aviatrix, and does she know how to go up in the air! Mona Emigh is a nurse in a Sanitarium in Michigan. Howard Rawson has his degree of M. I), and is practicing, in Hopkins Clinic. That’s where all the Scotchmen go. There is Bob Klasen in a tall silk hat. Of course you know his Madison’s new mayor. Ho always seems to be giving keys to visitors. Better not lose the key to your heart, Bob. Here comes the beautiful Margaret Lezak, the winner in the Annual In- ternational Beauty Contest. Richard Dowler has a farm in dear old Madison and the chief product is onions, I don’t know why people always cry over him. Richard Vernick is teaching Chemistry at Madison High.

THE CALDRON, 1932 Robert Schack was the Big Chief. It was to be a contest to see which tribe could sell the most subscriptions. It was loads of fun, but in the end the red feathers won, much to my dismay! Then we had the very pleasant job of planning a party for the other tribe. We finally decided on a “Hard Time Party.” Every- one came in his oldest rags. After that exciting time, things calmed down and we had nothing in particular to do. Then, we decided to sell candy and hot dogs at the football games. We did this all during the football season and increased our treasury considerably. The members of the Junior class are all good sports. They enter into every school function. Football is about the first thing that comes along. We had six Juniors on the varsity and four who were substitutes. Those who played on the varsity were Ed Ulle, Carl Pitschmann, Lew is Cone, Leo Korea, George Berta and Buck Austin. The four subs, were: Charles Garrett, Lawrence Sei- del, and Andrew Nagy, and Edward Case. There certainly are some dandy players among them. All six of the varsity fellows were out again for basketball, but none of the four subs, played. The captain of the basketball team was none other than Buck Austin, our last semester class president. Not bad for a Junior, is it? This year Madison has one of the largest scolarship clubs the school has ever known. There are thirteen members, (tough luck!) and out of those thir- teen, there are six Juniors. The scholarship banquet was held in Mentor Wed- nesday night, March 9, 1932. There was a very bad blizzard that night, but such a little thing as a snowstorm couldn't keep that gang awray when they knew' there were to be free eats! There were also four members of the Faculty present ! There were twro Juniors, namely, Elizabeth Quirk and Robert Mc- Kechnie who won the three years gold pins which entitle them to a life mem- bership in the club. Three of us won the two years silver pins, and one obtained the first year bronze pin. March 8th the annual reading-oratorical contest was held. There were three Juniors among the seven reading contestants and four out of the nine orators. We won both first and second places in the oratorical contest. Robert McKechnie was awarded first place and Elizabeth Quirk, second. We won both second and third places in the reading contest. Robert represented Madison in the county oratorical contest in Perry. Just think, some day these people may be famous orators. The Juniors are not very prominent in the orchestra, but nevertheless we have a representation. This year the members of the orchestra received pins if they had been a member of it for one previous year. Oh, you should have seen the operetta our glee club gave. It was great! We presented the musical comedy “The Count and the Co’ed.” There were six Juniors who had leading roles in the operetta. Lately we have formed a boy’s double quartet and a girls’ sextette. Those Juniors in the double quartette are: Wallace Whipple, Lewie Cone, and Kenny Walker. Kenny had the leading role in “The Count and the Co-ed.” In the girls’ sexette there are: Elizabeth Quirk, Muriel Goddard, and myself. When speaking of the glee club I think it is' im- portant to mention the pianist, Jean McKeith, also a Junior. Please write to me soon, and tell me about all vour new friends. I’m al- ways interested. I see a teacher coming down the aisle so —au revoir. Love, Katherine Adlard—’33 twenty-seven
