THE CAULDRON 13 THE GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserve Club is a high school branch of the Y.W.C.A. This or- ganization is international, having its headquarters at Geneva, Switzerland. Our Slogan, Purpose, and Code are symbolical of the life which a true Girl Reserve strives to lead. Membership is open to any girl who will uphold these symbols. At the beginning of the year a Recognition Service is held which, as the tital implies, recognizes the new members. Following this is an Installation service for the officers. The officers for 1937-38 are as follows: President, Margaret Pethtel; Vice President, Evelyn Kless; Secretary, Norma Bond; Treasurer, Lois Jean Mitchell. Each Thanksgiving the Girl Reserves prepare several baskets of food to be given to the needy. Likewise at Christmas time we sponsor a party for the less fortunate children of the community. In the spring comes the annual Mother and Daughter Banquet, followed shortly by the Senior Farewell. This club with its many entertainments and social gatherings binds the girls into a closer friendship and during this year the weekly programs have been in the nature of vocational guidance. Norma Bond 139 HI-Y The Hi-Y Club of M.M.H.S. is a member of the international organization, the Y.M.C.A. It is otherwise known as the high school Young Men s Christian As- sociation. Out club upholds its purpose which is to better ourselves in order to help others. I!To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character,v is the aim of the forty-five members ol this club in keeping up with their purpose. The club of 37-38 was the largest in the history of our organization in M.M.H.S. The weekly programs this year were spent in helpful and very interesting talks along vocational lines and in addition to our weekly meetings we had two night meetings a month. The first Wednesday of each month we traveled to Paines- ville Y.M.C.A. and the third Wednesday we met at the school to listen to a speak- er and engage in an hour of recreation. Those who served as officers this year were: Mr. Smith, Advisor; Wilford Behm, President; Bradford Henninge, Vice President; William Eland, Secretary; Roy Elliott, Treasurer.

THE MEMORIAL MIRROR The Memorial Mirror was originated four years ago this past fall. It had been many years since the school had been represented by a school paper. The first staff was comprised of those students who had a direct interest in journal- ism. It was a great adventure on their part, because they had no idea of how the students would take a school paper--that is to say, whether they would support it. The first issue of '34 was only a bit larger than the ordinary textbook—Was it supported?—It surely was, the next issue was a great deal larger. It contained more articles and columns—such was the start of the Mirror. The staffs of the years following were chosen by the editor and assistant editor who were elected. Those Seniors of this year, who had presence of mind to save the issues of the Mirror from their Freshmen year through the other three years not only have a complete history of the Mirror, but also a complete story of their high school days. These, in future years, will afford to them no end of pleasure in reminiscence of the days of youth. If this year's issues of the Mirror have not been all you think they should have been, we wish you to remember that this year's staff has worked in unison to present to you a really fine paper for the school. The motto is, Don't see the man who owns one, be the man who buys one. Ted Aldrich '38 THE CAULDRON 15 Seated—Wilford Behm, Mrs. Heinbaugh, Martha Wheeler, Betty Feenstra, Stuart Keener. Standing—Elmer Rood, Doris Rhodes, Jane Burkholder, Roy Elliott, William Eland, Gordon Graves Louis Pitschmann, absent. CAULDRON STAFF The first yearbook to be published from M.M.H.S. under the name of The Cauldron was published by the class of 1929. No class since that time has failed to produce an annual. The first issues were larger than those of recent years, but due to a combination of the Depression and increased expenses the Cauldron has slowly shrunk to its present proportions. At the beginning of the year, it seemed impossible for the class of 138 to produce an annual owing to financial difficulties. However, a new process called Lithoprinting was brought to our attention. This process was so much more economical and so apparently satisfactory that the staff decided to try it. We hope the results will prove as successful as they have proved interesting. The staff wishes to thank all those who have helped us both by material and moral support. Martha E. Wheeler Editor 16 THE CAULDRON 1st Row—E. Bates, H. Reigert, F. Bfeites, L. Foster, D.

MIXED CHORUS PRESIDENT--Martha Wheeler SECRETARY—Betty Feenstra TREASURER—Hubert Reigert THE CAULDRON 17 THE MIXED CHORUS In the sixth year of its existence the Madison High School Mixed Chorus looks back upon a panorama of striking successes. Having placed at each district contest in the last three years, it has traveled to Columbus to compete with the finest choruses in its class in the state. The first public appearance this year was in the high school auditorium when the Chorus presented a Christmas program for an assembly to which the public was invited. The most extensive work done this year was in preparing for the annual concert, the really big feature of the ChorusT work. The fine attendance and support of the townspeople in past years gave the organization the confidence to attempt something different in the way of a program this year. The Crucifixion” by Sir John Stainer is the cantata which for the Chorus, under Mr. Warner1s di- rection and with his encouragement, was the crowning event of the year. It was presented at the Central Congregational Church on March 31 and April 1 to large and appreciative audiences. Mrs. Warner was the organist and Wilford Behm and Mr. W. T. Jones were the male soloists. In preparation for the district contest held at Kent, April 8, the Chorus went through a series of intensive rehearsals. The two numbers were Chanson” and Golden Slumbers. The trip was made by school bus and it was a long and eagerly-awaited event. In an attempt at self-government the Chorus last year had a council of 8 members, appointed by Mr. Warner. The plan worked well and the same idea was used this year. The members were James Waterman, Ted Aldrich, Lois Mitchell, Charlotte Rand, Margaret Pethtel, Doris Rhodes, Welford Behm, and William Eland. The officers were: President; Martha Wheeler; Secretary, Betty Feenstra; Treasurer, Hubert Reigert.

THE FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Future Farmers of America is the national organization of farm hoys studying vocational agriculture in the public high schools throughout the United States. Six years following the founding of the organization at Kansas City, 47 states, the Territory of Hawaii and Puerto Rico, had formed Associations of Future Farmers of America affiliated with the national organization. The dues of the organization are $.25 per year. The local Chapter of the F.F.A. has a night meeting once a month, during which the regular business meeting is carried on and a speaker is usually present to give a talk on some phase of farming. Refreshments are served afterwards. There are twenty members in the local F.F.A. A parent and son banquet is held each year for Perry and Madison together, the purpose of the banquet is to acquaint the parents, members of the school- board and others with the work done by the F.F.A. The officers of the local chapter are. President, Charles Brotzman; Vice President, Dale Stowe; Secretary, Earl Hensel; Treasurer, Richard Nagy; Reporter, Roy Elliott; Advisor, R. W. Zimmerman. Roy Elliott 58 THE CAULDRON 19 SCHOLARSHIP CLUB The Lake County Scholarship Club was organized in 1924 for the purpose of promoting and recognizing high standards of scholarship during a student s years in high school. To obtain membership in this club it is necessary for a student to main- tain an average of two A s and two B s during one scholarship year. This con- sists of the last semester of the previous year and the first semester of the present year. A life membership is obtained by remaining a member of the club for three consecutive years. High School Letters are awarded to members during their first year; bronze pins during their second; silver pins during their third year and gold pins during their fourth year. Betty Feenstra, Martha Wheeler, Margaret Pethtel, Eugene Bates and Robert Morlan are four year members. Those who have just become life members are: Ruth Johnson, Kathryn Heart well, Bertha Jane Adams, Evelyn Kless, Florence Bates, Grover Strickler and Mabel Roddy. The two year members are: Margaret Nash, Virginia Forney, Richard Miller and Rita Lazarony. Those receiving letters for their first year are: Ina Rinta, Perry Quayly, Marie Zeman, John Jones, Frances Trescott, Bernice Board and Milton Demos. The local officers for the year of 1938-39 are: President, Richard Miller; Vice-President, Grover Strickler; Secretary, Rita Lazarony; Treasurer, Ruth Johnson. Rita Lazarony 40 THE DRAMATIC CLUB This club was organized in 36 by Miss Merchant. Last year the club was under the supervision of Miss Landgrabe. Now in 38, Miss Kohankee, a new teach- er at M.M.H.S., is the supervisor of it s 45 members—the largest membership the Dramatic club has known. The purpose and aim of the club is to recognize and aid in developing any talent in those pupils interested in dramatic art. With the above in view we accomplished the study of early drama in Eng- land and America; skits, monologues and the development of the one-act play. For poise and stage etiquette, the presentation of monologues and dialogues, to the group only, were encouraged. To further the latter an assembly program was sponsored by the club on April 1, consisting of readings and skits with several musical selections to fill in. Mrs. Robert Soules, an interesting speaker on drama, was sponsored by the dramatic group on April 29, for the pleasure of the entire student body. A one-act play given May 13 concluded the yearly performances of the organization. The officers are: President, Norma Bond; Secretary-treasurer. Jack Jones; Program Chairman, Gertrude Kubach. Gertrude Kubach 38 20 THE CAULDRON BASKETBALL The Blue Streaks started the season with high hopes and a new coach, Mr. E. C. Smith, but various bad breaks gave them but third place in the league and an even break in all games played. The leading scorers were Pitschmann with 50, Gelber with 46, and Strick- ler 45. Lettermen were Eland, Gelber, Pitschmann, Strickler, Brotzman, Eckerle, Hoffacker, Behm, and Graves, Mgr. The season’s scores were as follows: Madison 32 Madison 28 Madison 29 Madison 19 Madison 21 Madison 17 Madison 29 Madison 30 Thompson 17 Kirtland 26 Alumni 13 Wickliffe 24 Geneva 30 Mentor 45 Parkman 33 Parkman 25 Madison 29 Perry 20 Madison 28 Kirtland 27 Madison 19 Geneva 25 Madison 20 Wickliffe 26 Madison 19 Mentor 33 Madison 33 Perry 11 Reserves, Won 5 Lost 6 ( ) Denotes Non-League games THE CAULDRON 21 FOOTBALL The M.M.H.S. footballers started the season of 1937 with but four regu- lars returning from last year’s crack second place team. These were John Berta, Warren Whipple, William Eland, and Richard Leslie. Around these four men Coach Tarr built a team which was rather green the first few games but which got hot toward the last of the season and was good enough to finish the season in third place. Lettermen were Leslie, Eland, Pethtel, Miller, Pitschmann, Gelber, Murphy, Henninge, Berta, Whipple, Hummel, Strickler, Graves, and Waterman, Mgr. Scores of the season were as follows: Madison 0 Geneva 13 Madison 19 Kirtland 0 Madison 0 Perry 0 Madison 7 Chardon 6 Madison 2 Wickliffe 6 Madison, Chester-Forfeited to Madison Madison 18 Alumni 0 22 THE CAULDRON WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, BEING MEMBERS OF THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1938 AND BEING OF MORE OR LESS SOUND MIND AND BODY DO HEREBY MAKE OUR LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT: DOROTHY WATERMAN wills her talkativeness to MARIE ZEMAN.

THE CAULDRON 23 CLASS PROPHECY � 38 A strange thing happened.....The other day when I was fooling around in the college physics laboratory I accidentally discovered something which would cause a revolution if I dared to reveal it. I was photographing light rays, and in some unaccountable manner I split up the rays so that I was able to see things which were to happen in the future. Thinking how very interesting it might be to use this discovery for my personal edification, I applied it in different direc- tions. I set it in order to be able to see what my friends were doing ten years hence.....Much to my surprise I saw Eugene Bates, our class president singing in grand opera. Today he is down at Ohio State studying to be a math teacher. There1s a big surprise in store for him. Wilford Behm is certainly living up to his expectations, for I saw him as the head mortician at the Behm funeral home in Madison. For some reason, seeing him reminded me of Eddie Cone and I saw her undertaking the care of a large household. Setting my apparatus at another level, whom do you suppose I saw? None other than Betty Byers, reigning queen of Hollywood. Bringing the scene closer home, I caught sight of Bill Eland giving orders at L-M Ranch out in Wyoming. Beatrice Ostrander was invading the West with her Hill-Billy Band. At the Halle Bros. Company in Los Angeles was Charlotte Rand, the stylist making periodical sojourns between there and New York. I followed her out to the airport, and you can imagine my surprise when I saw Donald Trask get into the pilot� s seat of the transport plane. Another person of whom I caught sight was Fred Hoffacker, foot- ball coach at Leland Stanford. Dear old Fredl How happy it would make him to know his fondest dream will come true. On his desk I saw a book--How to Save the World from Juvenile Delinquents by Martha Wheeler. I hurriedly cast my destruc- tive beam through an area giving me a view of the U.S., to find Martha, but I couldn’t refrain from stopping in St. Louis. Roy Elliott was announcing over station K-A-Y. He certainly was going places that day. Most surprising of all was to see Gertrude Kubach there at the studios in Checkerboard square acting as private secretary to Barney Gelber himself, the president of the corporation. But on to find Martha—I find her in New York City preparing a broadcast on juvenile delinquency. From what I could see she was a writer of textbooks for college social service courses. New York was a good place to get the low down to be on my pals. Brad Henninge for whom no good is predicted, was evidently an in- ternationally famous chirapracter. Louis Pitchman was a ventriloquist. He does- n’t know what he wanted to do anyhow. A good job for him. Joy Wonner was con- ducting a series of broadcasts on the man’s place in the news. She wanted to be an announcer and anyway, nothing could separate her from Martha. I saw Edna Woidtke in Elizabeth Arden’s salon. She’s an eminent cosmetologest. An inter- esting thing. Radio City was so outdated, that Ted Aldrich was drawing up plans for a new super Radio City. Jane Burkholder collaborated with him. She is to do the murals in the main lobby. Helen Laurie would be his stenographer. I saw Bob Morian out on the new site giving a brick by brick description of the laying of the cornerstone. Although he is in college now studying to teach History he must be going to receive a stroke of luck, for he does want to be a radio communtater now. Down south, I saw Donald Crofoot giving demonstrations on the eradication of insect pests and Doris Rhodes was teaching in a school for poor little black and white boys and girls. Back home in Madison I was able to see James Waterman in the old Recall Pharmacy. He was mixing potions with visiting potentates among whom was included Gordon Graves eminent chemical engineer; Richard Nagy, winner in the 1947 In- dianapolis speedway race; and Robert Dodge, aviator who made the first solo flight into the crater of Mt. Everest. Another surprise was in seeing Richard Leslie sinking gas in the little corner gas station. He and Bob Dowler and Mert Scott had consolidated and were operating a FIX-IT establishment, with Bob - Mert mechanic and electrician respectively. There appeared to be a hospital in the home town ten years from now and much to my delight I saw some co-graduates 24 THE CAULDRON working there: Julia Peters, acting as superintendent in the absence of Lois Jean Mitchell who was making a lecture tour. Ruth Smith, Dorothy Waterman, and June Ford were there also, with June in charge of the convalescent youngsters. It was amazing—the number of people who stayed in Madison. Winifred Dean was down in the kitchen dietitioning. She had her own spic and span little office. Over at the High School I saw several of the old grads who came back— among them Mabel Roddy. She was teaching French and Latin and sending winner out to Mentor each year to the scholarship tests. Ina Rinta had come there then the physical education department was re-organized. Margot Easterbrook founded a school for beauty culture in Madison. The Rayon Plant out there in Painesville seemed to be going to monopolize the time of some of the grads. Stuart Keener was hired as a full time Certified Public Accountant. Marjorie Spencer was a private secretary to the head of the corporation. Elmer Rood was their Electrical Engineer. He was engaged in some interesting research. Becoming curious about my own future occupation I tried to intercept the light rays emanating what I am to do but before I found the right level I saw a terrible thing happen. Dale Stowe was driving a gorgeous Chrysler at a terrible rate and I saw him plunge over the edge of a steep embankment. Much to my relief he emerged safe and sound. It was interesting to know that he was a test driver for the Chrysler Corporation, (free advTt.). The sight of this so unnerved me that I decided my life-to-be might better be left unknown.
