The class representatives on the Student Council were Alice Rooks, Margaret Keyse, Lynn Klasen, and Lloyd Miller. The Juniors held their skating party at Keener's Shore Palace, in Janu- ary. The other social event sponsored by the Juniors, was the class dance held in March. The big event of the year, the prom, was a big success.

The Class of '44 rolls off the final assembly with thirty-seven parts. There were sixty-five parts back in September, 1940 when we arrived as material. In our first year we had six Scholarship Club members. Our social activities consisted of interesting class meetings, parties, and an Easter Bunny Hop. After losing thirty per cent of our members we returned as up and coming Sophomores. Among our activities were parties and an American Victory dance. This was the year in which our country entered the war which still goes on. Having returned as Juniors we took time out from our successful maga- zine and candy sales campaigns to hold a Christmas donee and a skating party. Then on May 7 we were hosts to the Seniors at the Junior-Senior prom held at the Madison Country Club. In our Senior year we started by helping get in the fall crops, and some of our members worked part-time in war industries. In the winter we held a Pigskin Prom in honor of the first winning football team during our high school career. In April we held our annual senior play, a successful comedy called Miss Smarty . The proceeds from the play, together with the profits made from sales campaigns, helped finance the Caldron. Then on May 29 we emerged as the Class of '44, short in numbers, due to the war, but long on spirit and the will to succeed in whatever task our country or the future might present. eighteen CALDRON STAFF Row 1: Mrs. Torr, Elsie Movko, Lon Wirtzbcrgcr Shirley Gropotin, Joon Wickert.

Our staff consisted of: Lon Wirtzberger, Editor; Joan Wickert, Busi- ness Manager; Leonard Znidarsic, Assistant Editor; Maynard Brichford, Lit- erary Editor; Leonard Wirtzberger, Sports Editor; Shirley Grapatin, Assistant Business Manager; James Carroll and Richard Darrow, Advertising; Robert Elmore, Circulation Manager; Don Plants and Charlotte Ellis, Snapshot Edi- tors; Shirley Grapatin, Shirley Stanton, Elsie Mavko and Marjorie Barry, I ypists. Charlotte Ellis succeeded Don Plants as Snapshot Editor when Don entered the Army. We hope that you find our product an interesting portrayal of M. M. H. S. for the year 1943-44. This year a school paper was created and sponsored by the new girls' club, Les Jeunes Filles. The staff as elected by the club was as follows: Edi- tor, Shirley Stanton; Assistant Editor, Margaret Keyse; Business Manager, Marjorie Barry; Reporters, Carol Hohlfelder, Betty Hoffacker, Jonnie Lahti, Ruth De Heck, Phyllis Bates, Joyce Schmidt, Rosemary Gress, Joan Nash, Joan Wickert, Viola Volante, Ayne Mavko, Jack Stanton, and Don Grabski. Our adviser was Miss Phillips. At the conclusion of a contest put on by the staff the name chosen for the paper was Hi-Times . The activities sponsored by the paper staff this year were few but the job of getting the paper out every two weeks kept them busy. In the Stunt Nite Program, put on by Les Jeunes Filles, the Hi-Times Staff presented a skit entitled And The Lamp Went Out and was awarded third place by the judges. twenty-one STUDENT COUNCIL Row I: Robert Elmore, Bet- ty Hoffocker, Margaret Kcyse, Alice Rooks, Betty Dodge, Helen Rosencrans, Lillion Busch, Sidney Har- per.

A volleyball program was arranged in February by our athletic com- mittee. Locker inspections were conducted by our Service Committee. Our officers were Robert Elmore, President; Margaret Keyse, Vice- President; Lillian Busch, Secretory; and Sheldon Whipple, Treasurer. Mr. Trescott was our adviser. The Scholarship Club this year has seventeen members. The Club had fine leadership throughout the year with Louise De Rubertis as President; Doyle Woodworth, Vice-President; Jane Kubach, Secretary; and Jonnie Lahti, Treasurer. Edwin Homburg was elected President of the Lake County Scholarship Club for the coming year. In February the Club attended the banquet at Mentor and heard a very interesting talk on 'The Second Mile by Dr. Wickenden, President of Case School of Applied Science. A special program was held to defray the club's expenses. Members again enjoyed the privilege of staying out of study halls if they wished. but during the second semester plans were made for improving school activ- twenty-threc Hl-Y CLUB Row 1: Richord Deming, Fred Roth, Niel Skinner Maynard Brichford, James Carroll, Richord Darrow Lon Wirtzbergcr, Walter Neubert, Kenneth Sprogue Don Grabski.

Our activities consisted of an entertaining skit for Stunt Night and a Christmas dance held December 23. Among the yeor's programs were guest speakers and a Les Jeunes Filles- Hi-Y quiz. The officers were Richard Darrow, President; James Carroll, Vice-President; Maynard Brichford, Secretary; and Lon Wirtzberger, Treas- urer. Mr. Trescott was our adviser. This year an entirely new girls' club, called Les Jeunes Filles, was or- ganized for the purpose of encouraging school spirit and activities among the students of the high school. The officers for the year were Joan Wickert, President; Shirley Stanton, Vice-President; Marjorie Barry, Secretary; and Bonnie McClish, Treasurer. Chairmen of the standing committees for the year were as follows: Program, Elsie Mavko; Social, Ayne Mavko and Joyce Schmidt; Ways and Means, Margaret Keyse. Under the capable leadership of Miss Phillips and club members many worthwhile projects were carried out—scrapbooks were made for servicemen in rehabilitation hospitals, war bonds and stamps were sold, covers for Sraille textbooks were made, and a school newspaper was sponsored. To show appreciation for the hard work and effort put forth by the foot- ball team a Football Banquet was given for the boys at the end of the season. The club sponsored a Stunt Night program which was both enjoyable and profitable. The profits were divided among the Red Cross, the Athletic Association, and the Club. The Hi-Y boys were entertained by the Club with a party which was a great success. In the spring the annual Mother-Daughter Banquet was held and was very well attended. An active and successful year was brought to a close by a dance, given in April, for the student body. twenty-five DON PLANTS — right guord (too left)—mode the vorsity in '42, his first year out—ployed cleon ond octivo footboll now holding the line for Uncle Som in the U.

The shortage of man power, as in the previous year, was again seriously felt. Coach Trescott met a squad of twenty-three fellows, who were eager to start the year out right by adding a victory or two to the credit of M. M. H. S. Among the members of the varsity team were eight seniors, namely: Captain Lon Wirtzberger, Len Wirtzberger, Leonard Znidarsic, Niel Skinner, John Spaulding, Sheldon Whipple, Walter Neubert and Don Plants. The other four were John Henninge, Steve Ruzick, Ed Plants and Roy Whip- ple. The remaining team was made up of the following: Bill MacBeth, Jim Harmon, Dick Emmett, Jerry Craft, Jim Reger, Tom Cspegi, Sidney Harper, Jack Stanton, Don Grabski, Kenneth Brockway and Stanley Martin. The Blue Streaks worked hard and faithfully the first few weeks and finally, under the lights at Hickok Field, they opened the season by playing their first league game with Chagrin Falls. Although the Streaks took the lead up until the half with a 12-0 score, the Chagrin players rallied in the second half and came out victorious with a score of 14-12. The following week the Blue and White traveled to Perry to battle it out with the Pirates. Again the Streaks led at the half with a 7-0 score. With good offensive passing the Pirates overwhelmed the Blue Streaks and won with a score of 19-13. With two losses the Streaks traveled to Mentor to match wits with the Cardinals. The powerful Mentor team led the scoring all through the game. In the finol quarter Madison scored two touchdowns in spite of the disadvan- tage of being outweighed. The 40-14 score was a victory for Mentor. Next the team met Kirtland in a home game played, much to our dis- may, in a sea of mud. The Streaks scored a touchdown in the first seconds of the game and led all the way through. This resulted in a full-fledged win for Madison with a score of 19-0. The week of October 22 found the boys again in home territory. The first touchdown was scored by Fairport in the second quarter. In the fourth quarter Fairport lined up in punt formation but turned it into a running play around their right end for a touchdown, ending the game 12-0 in Fairport's favor. Chardon, another home game, resulted in a 14-0 victory for Madison. The first touchdown was made in the first quarter. Chardon was kept clear of the goal throughout the game. In November the team met Wickliffe for an afternoon game. Two touchdowns scored by Wickliffe made a 14-0 win for them. The final game of the season was held at Geneva. The Streaks held their own all through the game with Skinner intercepting a pass and run- ning 65 yards for a touchdown. In the last five minutes Geneva pushed ahead for the final touchdown, defeating Madison 13-7. twenty-eight LON WIRTZBERGER —center —very oggressive player — good on catching rebound —excellent on pushup shots —mode second team on the Western Reserve League oil- star team.

The Alumni seemed to be too much for them and the Streaks lost with a 21-16 score. For the next game the Blue Streaks traveled to Geneva and, with lack of experience and man-power, came back defeated 73-42. The next game was a close game with the Kirtlond Hornets. The scor- ing was very close all through the game, but near the end some of Madison's valuable players went out on fouls and the Hornets won 39-34. The next week the Blue and White traveled to Chagrin Falls. Again the opponents proved to be the better team and came out on top with a 41-15 score. This same week the Thompson team paid Madison a visit and went home defeated with a score of 35-12. This was Madison's first victory of the season. Again the Alumni proved to be a better team than the Streaks, the final score being 52-26. With their spirits at their lowest ebb the Streaks put up a trying battle with the Perry Pirates. The scoring was close throughout the game but with a few seconds to play the Pirates made an extra point, thus becoming the victors by one point. The score was 25-24. The ever-trying Streaks traveled to Chardon the next week to be de- feated by the Hilltoppers. The score was 39-26. Determined to win, the Streaks welcomed the Kirtland Hornets to Madi- son for their second game with them. Although the scoring was close and the Streaks did their share of the leading, they were again defeated by one point. The score was 29-28. After the Kirtland game the Streaks were host to the Wickliffe Blue Devils, the champions of the league. They played an exciting game, but fought a losing battle and bowed to the Blue Devils by a score of 51-26. For the last game of the season the Streaks traveled to Perry to be de- feated again by the Pirates, the score being 49-27. thirty 1. Initiotion 2. Over The Bridge 3. Summertime 4. Bashful 5.

Though transportation became increasingly hard to get, we cheerlead- ers somehow managed to make ourselves present at all the football games, so our boys always had some home cheering. As our team started nearly from scratch this year, our victories were none too numerous and it took a lot of tugging and pulling in Pep assem- blies to keep everyone—student body included—in there punching. Grant- ed we didn't have the best of teams, but we had a good team and we were always proud that those guys in Blue and White were our guys, and as the optimist would say— Just you wait 'till next year! Something new has been added to M. M. H S. this year—our major- ettes. Laura Keyse, Beverly Harper, Viola Volante, and Barbara Thompson have been practicing twirls on their batons. We hope to see our new majorettes out at the first football game next season. thirty-three BAND Row 1: Joan Nosh, Sheldon Whipple, Gordon Warner, Junior Krauss, Horry Stanton, Dick Fobell, Bobby Jopko, Joan Wickert.

In all we had thirty-three members. Our of- ficers for the year were Joan Wickert, president; Virginia Rosencrans, lib- rarian; Richard Deming and Sidney Harper, stage managers. A few members put on a German Band stunt for Stunt Night . We worked on patriotic and gay nineties numbers as well as classical pieces. On April 21st we gave a Gay Nineties program in collaboration with the chorus. The proceeds from this program were used to help pay the costs of hats for the band. We hope that these hats are a good start towards complete uniforms. Approximately sixty students answered the call for choristers in the fall. In spite of the small bass and tenor sections, mixed singing was as much a part of the work as girls' and boys' glee clubs. Agnes Debevc and Bill Alves were chosen as secretaries for girls' and boys' clubs respectively; Charlotte Ellis and Jerry Kraft were librarians, and Betty Hoffacker and Jack Stanton acted as stage managers. The chorus's contribution to Stunt Night was the dramatization of the song, Clementine . A program was presented to the student body at Christmas time, during which Mr. Mosher, the director, related the histories of some of the carols which the chorus sang. The annual concert, in the form of a Gay Nineties Revue was given in collaboration with the band on April 21. The year closed with the cus- tomary musical presentations at Baccalaureate and Commencement. thirty-five F.F.A. Row 1: Joe Green, Johr Spaulding, Robert Elmore Richard Deming.

Last foil there come an urgent call From farmers near at hand, They said we'd either have to help Or crops would have to stand. So off we went, the profs and all, In answer to their pleas, And in one week we helped them strip Their vineyards and their trees. You found the teachers on the job When it came time to ration. That didn't bother us one bit— We had two days vacation. War Bonds and Stamps were plentiful. Our motto was Buy Heaps , We tried to, and succeeded In buying several jeeps.

It is the story of a beautiful girl who wishes to become a movie star. Her father, disapproving of her choice of a career, sends her to Barwell College, but she does not stay long. Just as she arrives, a telegram comes, ordering her to Hollywood immediately. She finds an old friend, Janice Burbank, who is seeking a position at the college as physical instructor. Lizbeth persuades Janice to take her place as a student so that she can go ahead with her plans to be an actress. Lizbeth's brother, Shelley, in on the plot, gets Brant Robson to impersonate him. To force two young people who have never seen each other before to act as brother and sister, has its consequences, which made for a delightful evening of fun and hilarity. Dodie Balmer is a bewildered-looking girl who is always chasing boys. Morton Gordon is the tall, good-looking football player with the dynamic personality. Swifty Trent has never been known to move fast in all his life. Virginia Stearns, a typical college girl, is vivacious and friendly to all. Dean Eberfield is so near-sighted that he can recognize only Miss Pleasant Hickey the old-maid chaperone at Barwell, with whom he has fallen madly in love. (They finally become engaged at the end of the play.) Brant Rob- son is a bashful, young, but younger-looking, lawyer who helps Shelley handle his love affairs. Helen Westfield, a woman in her fifties, is entirely capable of speaking her own mind, and proceeds to do so, when she and her niece Ilka Crawley, tall, awkward and ill-at-ease come to Barwell, looking for Ilka's boy friend Shelley. Mixed names and persons make the play both exciting and amusing. Mrs. S. B. Trescott directed the following cast in their roles: Both performances were received with enthusiasm and the players de- served to be awarded an E flag for the success of their production.
