Walter Bates ’34 The Caldronette 1934 nine The Caldronette 1934 Class Will We the class of ’34 in contemplation of embarking on a protracted, in- definite, and perilous journey, being aware of the uncertainty of life, and being in a body (yet) and of sound minds (presumably), and further being of liberal nature do hereby make and execute this, our last will and testament.

You will forgive me, I know, when I tell you of Mary Levak’s and my experiences at the Cleveland Century of Progress Exposition. (Mary is cap- tain of the world’s champion women’s basketball team.) The Exposition was opened by Theodore Heinrich who was president of the class of 84. Besides being Speaker of the House, Ted is famous for his many poems and essays. He and Keith Neuman are still pals; they are plan- TungTo run for Preident and Vice President respectively at the next election. One of the main features of the Exposition is an electrical maid that Keith has improved. It cooks your dinner to perfection, serves it, and says “Yes ma’am” when you scold it. As we entered the fair grounds, we were greeted by Theodore Corle who was selling tickets and answering a million questions at once. Just as we were handing our tickets to Ted, we heard a hearty laugh behind us. We'turned around just in time to see Georgia Easterbrook, who is now the world’s cham- pion swimmer, laugh at one of Dick Marsh’s numerous jokes. He has had a contract with the Fox Movie Corporation ever since he graduated from Madi- son High. We walked into the Hall of Science and there we saw Professor William Gabor explaining the life cycle of a flea to a group of awed old maids. We listened to the remainder of his lecture and at its conclusion William in- formed us that he is now a professor of Biology of Chicago University. Upon inquiry, he told us that his brother, Edward, is an announcer for the National Broadcasting Corporation. He is the highest paid announcer on the staff. In another part of the building, Louis Kellogg was telling an enthusiastic audience of his wonderful radio. Besides having television, this radio auto- matically shuts itself off when there is any advertising or when a boring speech is given. In the House of Religion, alter Ferguson wras delivering an inspiring sermon to his foot-sore audience. Walter seemed glad to see us and asked us to come to the rest of his series of talks. He is now the most famous evan- gelist in the United States. Over in the Agriculture Building, we saw Ed Havlor explaining a marvel- ous exhibit presented by the Green-Garret Dairy Farm. Maree Fomev and Elinor Johnson had charge of the Ville Francaise; Marec has been teaching English in a French school for girls and Elinor has been dietician there. While we were discussing old times, we heard a gay, “Halloo-oo, girls,” come from somewhere. We looked and saw coming towards us Mary Louise Greenman followed bv several shy youngsters. She said, “How do you like my brood? There are my prize kindergarten pupils. We-ell, I never—. Here comes Hattie Strickler; she’s principal of the school where I teach.” Walking down the mid-way, we were stopped by a breathless salesman w ho convinced us to buy $15.00 worth of women’s jewelry in the latest mode.

Juniors The band blares! The footlights are on and there, up goes the curtain, giving vou vour first glance at the Junior Review of 1933-34. In the center of the stage are the class officers who are Philip Greene, President; Joseph Grgat, Vive President; Virginia Dawson, Secretary; and Harold Dunn, Treasurer. At the right we see the junior boys of the Foot- ball squad. There are Mert Brewster, Phil Greene, Dallas Gandy, Kd Gola, Otto Krhaeher, George Koren, Hud Whipple, and Russ Ford. There’s some of the football squad dissolving into the basketball team, and with a few additions and withdrawals, the juniors are again duly repre- sented bv Mert Brewster, Joe Grgat, Phil Greene, Russ Ford, Hud Whipple, and Pal Gola. See those sophisticated looking people on the left? They’re the juniors who have gained admission to the Scholarship Club. Caroline Henninge, Amelia Newby, Betty Mitchell, Dallas Candy, Joseph Grgat, and Adam Fabel. I presume vou have already noticed those people at the right who possess all the earmarks of stage troupers. They are the people who won the Ora- torical and Reading Contests. Rachel Krause won first honor in the Orations, with Dallas Candy placing third. Loraine Nash carried off first place in the Readings. In the Junior Review there are, of course, dances. First comes the Irish one for the School in March. And then the Junior-Senior Prom, with the elite of High School in attendance.

Sophomores When in Cleveland, my friend and I visited the recently constructed Hall of Famed Students of Madison Memorial High School. ITpon reaching the building I immediately suggested that we pay our tribute to the room of Sophomores. It was a large room done in blue and white, the colors used in decorating for the Sophomore dance. Directly oppo- site the entrance and completely covering one end of the room, was a huge picture of the dance. There were smiling lads and laughing girls in quaint frocks, so different from ours of today, 1948. On our left was a wall tor football, and among smaller pictures of the fellows on the reserves was a large gilt frame of Lvnn Miller, who upheld our class by playing on the first team. Crossing the room to the basketball section, our attention was called to several beaming youths and among them were Kenny Whipple and Lvnn Mil- ler who helped make up the first team. Other bo vs were: Merle Billington, H arry Bingham, «Jimmy Koren, Robert Stimpert, and Rupert Atkins all of whom were on the second team. “Who are they?” my friend inquired, noticing a picture at the other end (Continued on Page Twenty-nine) thirteen The Caldronette 1934 5th row (left to right)—Paul Klasen, Bill Goddard, Dorothy Fields, Robert Brown, Robert Seifert, Floyd Ryel, Louie Babie, Frank Priscak, Dean Jones, Olga Poljanic, Esther Mihely. 4th row (left to right) — Eddie Carosello, Flora Smith, Mary Turie, Max Leonard i, Tony Mihely, Charles Eckerle, Milton Preotle, Donald Xaughton, Henry Novak, Clarence Prince, Dorothy Freshly, Sylvia Laurie, Lucille Wymor. 3rd row (left to right) Marie Grabski, Lillian Trasky, Sarah Fortney, Raymond Lexo, Donna McElwee, Thomas Stubblefield, Agnes Krauter, Kathryn Kilty, John Hutchison, Olga Leopold, June Ford, Betty Johnson, Ruth Peterson, Esther Klasen. 2nd row (left to right)—Malcolm Crofoot, Muriel Bates, William Newby, Hazel Sidel, Robert Ernst, Eleanore Woodworth, Raymond Lockwood, Jeanne Rand, Richard Easter- brook, June Struck, Robert Greene, Edith Toth, Wendall McMackin, Barbara Greene. 1st row (left to right)—Thomas McKeith, Lucille Beebe, Edward Heinrich, Doris Beebe, Robert Miller, Dolores Baxa, Vernon Ferguson, Helen Bingham, Merton Scott, Florence Knren, Ralph Buckles, Charlotte Crum, Ralph Prouty. Freshmen May I now present to you the largest, most promising class that, has ever haunted the premises of dear old M. M. H. S.P With all due modesty, we must admit that we’ve contributed our bit to school life, and, though scorned bv many, we have vet to find an upper classman who can truthfully say that we haven’t made our mark in all school activities. To prove the seemingly bold statement let’s review the year. Who are those brave, stalwart youths dashing into view? You’ve guessed right! It’s the football squad. And look! Here are some lettermen in all their glory. Time marches on! Basketball replaces football, and again we’re well represented by several husky athletes. And don’t forget the dance we gave on November twenty-fourth. Yes, and was it a success! Well, think it over, and consider the crowd that turned out. We are now rapidly approaching the musical part. Hark! Do you hear the discordant warbling of some frantic soul as he strives to drown out a fellow-vocalist? Well, then — it’s probably one of our determined freshmen (Continued on Page Twenty-seven) fourteen =t� J— fe= ACTIVITIES The Girl Reserves Club Dear Luella, As you asked me about our Girl Reserve Club, I will try to explain it to you. The Friendship Club of the Girl Reserves is a junior branch of the Y. W. C. A. We began our year with a hike for all girls in the high school. By 'the end of the first month of school about sixty girls had joined. We have five groups in the Club this year. They are: Ring and Service, Handicraft, Music, First-Aid and Dramatic. Every month we have two general meetings and two group meetings. At the general meetings our president, Elinor Johnson, leads us in the discussion of Charm. At Thanksgiving we filled baskets for the needy. At Christmas we gave a party for some of the children of the township. But it is not all work. We have had several parties, some of them being Father and Daughter, G. R.-Hi-Y, a supper meeting with the Perry G. R.’s and the annual Mother and Daughter Supper. Through all our work and play we try to keep in mind our purpose which is to create an atmosphere of friendliness in the school, to encourage the spirit of good sportsmanship and wholesome fun, and to seek to help the girls of Madison to a better understanding of the Christ way of life. I know' you w'ould enjoy a club in your school. Betty Mitchell ’35 — —0------- The Hi-Y Club We were glad to have Mr. Trescott for faculty advisor again this year. The officers elected were: President, Walter Bates; Vice President, Louis Kellogg; Secretary, Michael Roddy; Treasurer, Edwin Waterman. The club decided to alter their procedure a bit and elect the officers for the coming year at their last meeting, instead of the election at the start of the school year. It was thought that this method would help speed up the activities for the next year. There are twenty-two members, ten of whom were just initiated this year. The club has enjoyed several social functions among which was the theater party at Painesville. We were a little tardy in the matter of having night meetings but after we did get started, the committee arranged a schedule of programs to be held every two weeks. Friday morning programs were again taken as the project to be sponsored bv the club and we thank all who assisted in these. The Paines- ville Y reserved the swimming pool for us once a month and the first trip up there we had a “knock out” time. Ask Lynn Miller if we didn’t. Michael Roddy ’34 fifteen The Caldronette 1934 The Scholarship Club Nine years ago the Lake County Scholarship Club was organized to en- courage high school students to raise their standards of scholarship. The plan seems from all appearances to have been an immense success. At least our Madison Club seems to be increasing its membership each year. A student, to obtain membership in this club, must have an average of 2 A’s and 2 B’s for the last half of the previous school year and the first half of the present School year. If the school does not have enough pupils with this average to make up the necessary 10%, the remainder may be elected by the student body, from pupils having an average of not below' 11-. Madison has twenty five members in the Club this year, and the enrollment of the school is about two hundred and thirty. This is more than ten per cent of the stu- dent body ! A first year member in the Scholarship Club receives a bronze pin, a sec- ond year member a silver pin, and a third year member a gold pin. Any person who receives a gold pin is entitled to life membership in the Lake County Scholarship Club. It is very possible that a person can be a four year member too, but no pin is given in the fourth year. This, however, is no sign that one should not try for four year membership. Those from Madison who are now life members of the Lake County Club are: Marv Louise Adlard, Elton Behm, Katherine Feller, Donald Gardner, Mary Chubb, Helen Stearns, Ruth Ad- lard, Olive Dunlap, Richard Kimball, Mary Warner, Fay Pasco, Mildred Pe- terson, Margaret Wetzel, Elizabeth Quirk, Robert McKechnie, Katherine Ad- lard, Jean McKeith, Alzora Waterman, Elinor Johnson, Caroline Henninge, Betty Mitchell, and Amelia Newby. This year bronze pins were presented to: Ralph Buckles, Charlotte Crum, Barbara Greene, Esther Klasen, Florence Koren, Olga Leopold, Olga Pol- janic, June Strock, Edith Toth, Eleanore Woodworth, Joyce Petsche and Helen Pitschmann. Silver Pins were awarded to: Rupert Atkins, Jean An- derson, Dallas Candy, Adam Febel, Joe Grgat, Theodore Heinrich, Louis Kel- logg, Keith Neuman, and Margaret Quirk. Caroline Henninge, Betty Mit- chell. and Amelia Newby received gold pins this year. Each year it has been the custom to have a banquet for the members of the club and to elect officers. For next year, Betty Mitchell was elected treasurer. The other Lake County officers for next vear are: Junior Silsbv, W ickliffe, President; Elizabeth Hilborn, Perry, Vice President: and Robert Na ville, Willoughby, Secretary. In 1934, Madison asked permission to have the banquet here. The re- quest was granted and everyone thought we did a tine job. Not only were the main items such as entertainment, food, and table-arrangements taken care of, but also the minor details were all thought of. It was really a success and much credit should be given to the officers of Madison’s club and to the home economics classes for co-operating so well. The Madison officers are Caroline Henninge, president; Joe Grgat, vice president; Margaret Quirk, secretary; and Dallas Candy, treasurer. W c hope that the success already met, points tow ard an even greater suc- cess in years to come! Elinor Johnson ’34 sixteen The Future Farmers of America The Vocational Agriculture Department forming the F. F. A. is glad to present its work and activities of the past year. The officers of the F. F. A. are as follows: Lovell Green, President; Otto Erbacher, Nice President; Robert Beall, Treasurer; Allan Brotzman, Secre- tary: and Ralph Martin, News Reporter. There are 27 enrolled in the N ocational Agriculture Department of which 1() are F. F. A. members. This is the largest agriculture class in the past five years. Eighteen boys completed projects last year with an average in- come of about $80 per hoy. The Department sent a judging team to Columbus last June. The mem- bers of the team were Lovell Green, Otto Erbacher, Gordon Hejduk and Charles Garret. The team as a whole did not place in the 1st ten, but Otto was 7th in the State General Livestock contest and Lovell was 3rd in the horse judging contest. This year we had a basketball team and played with three other schools in this district. We didn’t lose any games so consider we had a successful season. The Apple and Potato judging team won 2nd place in this district. Walter Ferguson entered the District Public Speaking Contest at Char- don and placed third. Waiter Ferguson ’34 The Caldronette 1934 O Room I Library Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is station M. M. H. S. pre- senting the daily Madison High School Library program. As this is the last time we will be on the air, we wish to summarize our program of the year. Although our library is small, it is gradually growing. We have a variety of books as well as periodicals and an assortment of college catalogues. This year ninety students had cards and drew books. If a book was kept over the alloted time, there was a fine of two cents a day. With this money a new book, “Larry” was bought. This has been very popular with all the readers. During “oration season” the library did a rushing business. There was some very good material in the Literary Digest, Time Magazines, Reader’s Digest, Educational Magazines and Current Histories, all of which have been donated by friends. Most of the books in the library are on the reading list. These books have been used over and over again for book reports. One of the books, “Modern Tales of Canterbury,” was written by mem- bers of the English literature class. It is the last word in Modern poetry. The week following its publication it was the most talked of book in the library. Rita Pitschmann ’34 1 ,, ., . t Librarians Maree Forney .34 seventeen The Caldronette 1934 The Glee Club In the latter part of October, Mr. Warner held try-outs, and by the first of November we were organized well enough to begin on simple music. We re- hearse Thursday, Special Period, and Friday, after school. At first we rehearsed various numbers so that we might have a repertoire if the Club were asked for a special program. Later we worked up quite a few numbers for a Christmas program. These were: “God Rest You, Merry Gentle- men,” “Silent Night,” “Carol of the Birds,” and “Closing Hymn.” Mr. Warner and the club members are rehearsing diligently for a future program of importance. This is the annual Music Festival which is held at Painesville. Each club in the county gives two numbers separately, and then as a group, all of the glee clubs sing two numbers. These numbers are: “The Viking Song” by S. Coleridge-Taylor and “A Legend” by Tschaikowsky. The two numbers which we have selected are: “The Vesper Hymn,” a Russian Air, and “Ole Uncle Moon” bv Charles I Scott. We also hope in the near future to give a concert in the place of an operetta. There will be several numbers given at commencement too. The officers and their duties are as follows: 1. Gordon Martin is librarian and Rupert Atkins, assistant librarian. These boys give out the music for each rehearsal. If any members wishes to take any music out, he must see either of these boys. 2. There are three pianists: Robert Miller, first pianist; Loraine Nash, second; and Margaret Quirk, third. 3. The duty of the secretary, Virginia Maltbie, is to take attendance at each rehearsal. If there is to be a special rehearsal, she is to notify the mem- bers of the club.

The task is placidly easy at first but old man Trouble steps in and then things begin to happen. Situations that are absurd and complications almost knotted pile up.

This squad was even larger than last year’s. The team did not seem able to hit its stride in some of the first games but gradually gained it. The first game which was played at Kir Hand was among the outstanding ones of the season. It was one of the best because of the ()-() tie the previous year. The next week the team was primed for Wickliffe, where we lost after a bad second half. Probably the best playing of the year occurred in the Mentor game though we lost in the last quarter.

February enters our review and with it comes the Scholarship Banquet. May we here remind our most esteemed superiors, the upper-classmen, that ten out of the twenty-five record holders happened to be the supposedly “green” little freshmen? In closing I respectfully address any scornful elders, (whether Sophs, Juniors, or Seniors),—before scoffing at the insignificant little freshmen, take a look at yourselves. Are you really so superior after all?

SPENCERIAN COLLEGE East Euclid Ave. Henderson 3200 CLEVELAND, OHIO I twenty-eight CLASS PROPHECY found ourselves to be the victims of Junior Collin’s extraordinary salesmanship. After he recognized us, he told us that he had just stopped working for the Elliot Cabinet Association. This association is owned by Frank Elliot, the boy who spent so much time in the shop of Madison High. Farther down the mid-way, we were greeted by, “Right this wav, Folks. Have Melvin Keener, the famous marathon dancer, give you a few pointers in dancing, or have Victoria Pizzino explain how she types 300 words a minute. Right this way — while you’re in there, ask Betty Mericle to demonstrate how she won the ten- nis championship. Right this way — see the three world’s champions.” Mary recognized this individual as being Jack Simpson. In the evening we went to a show and saw Madge Whipple as the leading lady for the main feature and Elsie Kracker as the lead for the comedy. We had just settled ourselves when Rachel McMackin and her lawyer husband de- posited themselves beside us. In the news-reel, we saw that Rita Pitschmann, the tomboy of the screen, was recovering from a sprained ankle received while riding a horse bare-back. We also saw Michael Roddy, Mayor of Cleveland, present a cup to Clark Holschuh, manager of the Cleveland Indians. Robert Beall, warden of Sing-sing, was shown explaining the fundamentals of prison refo rm. After the show, we returned to our hotel rooms and turned on the radio. We heard Russell Whipple, a metropolitan opera star, sing to the accompani- ment of Walt Bate’s orchestra. Between numbers, Howard Prince told how he got his real start in the automobile industry “by tinkering with my Chevy.” Just as we were boarding the train bound for New York City, we heard Arvi Rinta speaking to two Chinamen in their native tongue. Arvi told us that he is now an interpreter in Hong Kong, China. Well, good night, little diary. I had better be off to dreamland or my patients at the hospital will wonder what has become of their nurse. Virginia Weber ’34 ——0-------- Bill Gabor: Why are you wearing my rain coat?

It proved to be Helen Keener and Gladys Rose in old fashioned turtle necks and short skirts of ten years ago. (What cheer leaders they were!) Unconsciously we glanced from their short skirts to our own majestically sweeping the floor. On the adjacent wall were group photos of the Scholarship Club, Girl Reserves, and Hi-Y in all of which the sophomore class was well represented. “Now I want to show you our Junior class of ’35.” Iona Culbertson ’36 The Caldronctte 1934 twenty-nine The Caldronctte 1934 RIDGE OIL CORP.
