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 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

Nothing But The Truth “HI bet you ten thousand dollars that I can tell nothing but the truth for twenty-four hours.” This is what Bob bets his friend and he boldly tackles the truth to win the money. 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.
