Plans are progressing to give a concert which will be composed of selections from the opera “Faust,” March 30. It has been difficult to progress rapidly, as the greater percentage of our members arc new and inexperienced. However, they have done well and everyone entertains hope that it will be possible to enter the district contest at Kent this year. Still more far reaching are the thoughts of competing 111 the state contest, if we should receive a sufficiently high rating in the district contest. The success of preceding years surely ought to cheer us on to victory. Officers: President, Norma Bond; Secretary, Mildred McCormick; Treas., Bud Reigert. [191

One of the largest Hi-Y clubs in the school’s history turned out at the beginning of the year 1938. Officers had been elected the previous year anti were to take up their respect- ive duties when the new school year began. The officers were as follows: President, Jack Pethtel; Vice-President, Charlie Brotzman; Secretary, Richard Miller; Treasurer, Jack Kuhn. The first meeting of the year was for the purpose of getting organized and discussing what the club might do in its Monday morning meetings throughout the yera. It was decided that each week two members of the club were responsible for leading a discussion or talking on some educational and interesting subject. Th e members were very fortunate to have such an excellent advisor as Mr. Tidd. He led several of the meetings and did all he could to help the progress of the club. The Hi-Y was not as active this year as in previous years because of the school situation. Two roller-skating parties were sponsored and both of them turned out to be successful. An ice-skating party attracted many of the school’s best ice-skaters. Everyone in the Hi-Y will agree that one of the best meetings was Miss Kelly s talk on fur farming. She told how they raised, fed, and killed the fox for the valuable fur. A discussion which will always be remembered was that talk led by Mr. Tidd on the subject of WORK. The G. R.-Hi-Y Dance was attended 100 and a fine time was had by all. The Hi-Y then gave a dance for the Girl Reserves which climaxed a successful year. Our activities are at an end, and we wish the following Hi-Y’s the best of luck in M. M. H. S. [18]

This year the coaching duties were given to Mr. Smith who came to Madison from Parkman last year. About thirty eager boys turned out the first week of practice. Among them were four letter-men from last year: Pethtel, Strickler, Miller and Berta. When the “Blue Streaks took the field against Geneva for their first game we saw a very light team, but they had the spirit and courage to fight for their school. Madison scored for the first time in seven years against Geneva in this game. Final score, 20-13. The next game was a night game at Painesville, where the “Streaks” fell prey to the “Raiders” 23-0. Mentor played host to the “Streaks' and this game was the thriller of the year. With one minute to play, Berta tossed a 43-yard pass to Strickler who leaped up among three Mentor men and snagged the ball and was brought down on the i-yard line. Another play was tried, then the game was over, Madison losing, 13-7. Captain Jack Pethtel broke his arm in the first play of the game, but no one knw it and he played the whole game. Perry visited the “Streaks” next and won, 6-0. The “Blue Devils” from Wickliffe were at M.M.H.S. following the Perry game. This ended in a 6-6 tie. The “Blue Streaks” journeyed to Chardon the next week and won their first game, 15-0. Strickler, 125-lb. end, scored 13 of these points. The last two games were played on the home field with the Ashtabula Reserves and the Alumni. The “Streaks” lost to Ashtabula, 13-7, and tied the Alumni, 0-0. The last four games were played by most of the second team because Pethtel, Strickler, Gilmore, Sayer, Reigert, and Falk were out of the line-up due to injuries. Those who have worn the Blue and White on the football field are: Captain Jack Pethtel, the best blocking back in the league. Grover Strickler, an end who’s in on every play. John Babic, small, but a fighter ’till the end. Dick Van Pelt, a tackle the other teams won’t forget. Howard Walding, a hard hitting tackle. Ludwig Fryer, a new man in the backfield and a real help to M.M.H.S. John Gilmore, halfback noted for his running and passing. Fred Miller, a hard hitting guard. Bud Reigert, an end, not so big but plenty tough. Wick Hathaway, halfback, a clever runner in any game. Charlie Brotzman, center who came out late this year to help Joncsie. [20] Bud Reigert
