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

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.
