--— q| The CALDRONETTE j0 - Future Farmers of America c t------- President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Reporter OFFICERS .............. Russel Whipple ................ Robert Beall ................ Lovell Green .............. Lawrence Seidel Charles Garrett Sure we’re farmers, but not in the way every one seems to think of the word farmer. We like to get out and do things as well as a person in any other occupation. We don’t work all day and smoke a corn coh pipe the rest of the time. The chapter started the year with a night meeting, discussing things for our future, and bringing new members into the club. Refreshments were served afterwards, and we called it a night. Our Ag. banquet came in the first part of January. The banquet usu- ally is attended bv parents and sons, but so few mothers showed up in the previous years, that we made it a father and son banquet and invited the Kiwanis Club. Some of our boys took part, (Lovell Green and Gorden Hejduk) by giving reports of work and activities of the club. The club had an average net income per bov for the year of $50.00. Robert Zeman made the highest amount, $125.94 on acre of muskmellons. Lawrence Seidel came close for second with $124.57 from 200 leghorn pullets. The pest hunt was under way by this time. We divided the class into two groups and elected captains for each, (Gorden Hejduk and Robert Zeman). Points were given for every pest killed during the contest. The contest closed February first, but sorry to say, one side was behind. That meant that we, the losing side, would have to furnish a night’s entertainment and refreshments for the winning side. You know a fellow’s ambition is to see if he can cat a pie and keep it down. Well, the losing side decided to let the boys fulfill their ambition March third. Ask any of the fellows how it feels to put a pie under his belt. Yes, we’re Ag. students, but not farmers of the “Dark Ages” any more than our lawyer friends. Russell Whipple Page Seventeen

G| The CALDRONETTE J0' The Scholarship Club The Lake County Scholarship Club was organized in 1925 among the high schools of Lake County. It was created for the purpose of stimulating and encouraging high standards of scholarship, and recognizing those who had attained it. The club adopted the same qualifications as had been adopted by the local Scholarship Club which had been started several years before. To be a member one must have an average of 2 A’s and 2 IPs, but if 10% of the student body does not have this average, the school is allowed to elect the necessary students providing their average is not below B. The Scholarship year is the last semester of the previous year and the first semester of the present year. The members are presented pins: bronze for the first year members, silver for the second, and gold for the third year members. Three years grant life membership. Each year the annual Scholarship banquet is held at one of the County high schools. This year the banquet was at Wickliffe. The schools alternate in electing officers. The President for 1932-33 was Mary Alice Hall of Kirtland. The li fe members from Madison Memorial High School are: Marv Louise Adlard, Elton Behm, Katherine Teller, Donald Gardner, Mary Chubb, Helen Stearns, Ruth Adlard, Olive Dunlap, Richard Kimball, Mary Warner, Fay Pasco, Mildred Peterson, Margaret Wetzel, Elizabeth Quirk, Robert McKech- nie, Katherine Adlard, Jean McKeith, Alzora Waterman, and Elinor Johnson. Bronze pins were presented this year to: Jean Anderson, Virginia Maltbie, Margaret Quirk, Marjory Loring, Rupert Atkins, Dallas Candy, Adam Febel, Joseph Grgat, Theodore Heinrich, Louis Kellogg, Keith Newman. Silver pins were presented to Muriel Goddard, Caroline Hennings, Amelia Newby, Betty Mitchell. Gold pins were presented to Katherine Adlard, Jean McKeith, Al- zora Waterman, Elinor Johnson. Elizabeth Quirk has been a member for all four years in high school. Betty Mitchell. The Court The court consists of five members: two seniors, a junior, a sophomore, and a freshman, and meets the first day of each week for the hearing of cases which the traffic board submits. Although the judicial power of the school, so to speak, is vested in this court, the same shows no partiality, and is usually unanimous in its decisions. The procedure of every case is as follows: The violator is brought before the court where the acting judge, before pronouncing the sentence, reminds the defendant of his offense and allows him to speak a few words on his own behalf. If the offense is considered by the judges as major, a heavier sentence is given than if it is considered minor. Then too, the sentence is relative to its offense. For instance: a student, who continually throw's paper, is asked to keep a certain room clean of such waste; and a person who creates a disturbance is usually deprived of his noon hour w ith his presence required in a study hall for a given length of time. All in all, the court has fairly well accomplished that which was attempted — to reduce the number of violations. Robert Schack. Page Sixteen

■©I Vhe CALDRONETTE J© Orchestra Although Madison High School has many groups, one of the most inter- esting is the orchestra. This year our membership has decreased, but outside of the fact that we cannot make so much noise, we are doing nearly as much as we did last year. Four of our members are organizing a dance orchestra. The students are: Robert Adams, Muriel Goddard, Harold l)unn and Caroline Henninge. Last year the members decided that those who had been in the orchestra were to receive pins. The i in which was chosen is in the shape of a lvre. Harold l)unn, Muriel Goddard, Robert Adams and Caroline Henninge received pins this year. Below is the complete membership for ’32 and ’33: Wendell Atkins Melvin Keener . . Hubert Adams .

Entries were from the Home Economics and Agriculture classes. There were many town people interested, who also entered things. The prizes were awarded by the business people of Madison. The cup for Home Economics went to Mrs. Althea Ferguson, who has won it twice. If she wins it once more, she will have it to keep The largest number of points in the Home Economics classes were given to Elsie Waters, Ruth Rhodes and Margery Loring. The entries were judged by Miss Mary Lyons, Home Economics teacher of Thompson, Ohio. The entries were put in the Foods laboratory, which was decorated with rose crepe paper, and ferns from Taylor’s Green- house. The Agriculture entries were put in the agriculture room. The entries were judged by Mr. Clifford Varney of Orwell and Mr. L. L. Mountjoy of Huntsburg. The Agriculture cup was won by Joe Hejduk. The cup belongs to him now because he has won it for three consecutive years.
