We soon got into the swing'' of things and gave an outstanding donee ond a skating party. Five of us rated mem- bership on the Scholarship Club, and we were well represented in the school clubs ond on the athletic field. As Sophomores, we patriotically headed the list in Bond drives, and joined the other classes in helping to pick crops in the fall. Also another dance was given, four were on the Scholarship Club ond there were three lettermen from this class. In our third year we revived an old tradi- tion—that of a Junior ploy, and a howling success it was, too. Again we picked crops, gave a dance and participated in Stunt Night. The second semester every one worked hard selling magazine subscriptions to finance the Junior-Senior Prom. Our final performance was a grand one. Production of a dance, a play, and the Cauldron busied us constantly. We gave a clever skit Stunt Night, too, and partici- pated wholeheartedly in the school basket- ball tournaments. Four of us made the Scholarship Club. Making plans for Com- mencement brought our last year to a grand finale. CLASS PROPHECY On my way at last! I settled down on the train and began eagerly to anticipate my mission, one which any journalist would love—a job covering the World's Fair of 1956. To amuse myself, I had brought along a copy of Stella Lezak's latest book of her juvenile series, The Floppsey Twins on I wo Jima, ond was deeply engrossed in the fourth chapter when the train jolted and stopped. What's up? My reply was to the effect that the train hod broken down and the passengers were free to look around the small town nearby. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the sign above the sta- tion door Glaabsville, and Joann in front of the station posting a bulletin. She recog- nized me and told me the story of how she had become mayor of this charming village named in her honor. We went up to her honor's office to talk, and I got the surprise of my life when I saw Joann's secretary, Bob Johnson. He had big news for me—Merritt Neilsen owned o three ring circus, himself being one of the main performers, and in partnership with him were Russell Dodge and Roy Whipple, who also played tuba in the band. Since it was time for Joyce Schmidt's program (she always was our favorite singer) we tuned in and following station identification heard one of those catchy little singing commercials: You'll always look best if you're properly dressed. From your toes to your neck, in Designs by DeHeck. 8 CLASS PROPHECY Ruth was certainly doing well with her designs. Joann remarked that even Paris was copying her fashions. Of course we talked over old times, and she told me that Mary Kerin owned several ranches in the West and lived in Arizona on one of them. Leona Winland had married a successful banker in Philadelphia, and Audrey Jerome was head nurse at Lakeside Hospital in Cleveland. I asked her if she had heard about the Rooks sisters, Barbara and Alice having an exclu- sive beauty salon in New York City, and that both Laura Dooley and Beverly Harper were married and lived near each other in Cleveland Heights. Joann also surprised me with the news that Bonnie McClish was secretary to Fred Roth, President of the Roth Sports Goods Manufacturing Com- pany. Before leaving Bob told me to be sure to look up Fred Cornell whom he had heard was a Physics Professor at U.C.L.A. As soon as I arrived at Los Angeles I hurried over to the Brockway Hotel where I had reservations. Kenneth, by the way, had become famous for his chain of hotels, boasting one in every important American city. Partly because it gives one such an air of importance, I sent for the Hotel Sten- ographer and was astonished when Patty Elmore walked in. She said she and Flor- ence Davis had come out together and Florence had a job as a model in a fash- ionable Hollywood store. Jeanne Walker had decided to go to Florida instead, and was running a resort there. Patty also told me that Lil Busch was currently singing with a dance band in the Olive Drab Room there at the Hotel. Another clossmate she had seen recently was Viola Volante who stopped often between coast to coast flights at her job as an air hostess. Together we visited Fred on the campus of U.C.L.A. and learned that Phyllis Peshock was also on the faculty teaching Economics. Fred told us that over in Holly- wood we would find Pete Gress hard at work drawing cartoons for Walt Disney pictures, and remembering how Pete could draw, we weren't at all surprised. On the way back I bought a paper to see if Jonnie Lahti's comic strip The Adventures of Dolly De- mon had developed into a more perilous situation than when I last read it. As I leofed through the paper an article caught my eye. It was a write-up of Irene Nichols' latest stage play—the one Bill Alves was ploying the lead in. Another article recog- nized Steve Ruzick as the greatest football coach Notre Dame ever had. Yes, finally I got to the Fair. The first building I entered represented Egypt. Noticing that a lecture was being given in the main room, I pushed my way through the assembled crowd and stopped in amaze- ment at what I saw. Standing among mum- mies and different types of Egyptian stone was Phyllis Spear giving a fascinating ac- count of her discoveries as an archaeologist in the land of the Nile. We had lunch to- gether and Phyllis entertained me with more news of the forty sixers . And Bar- bara Hathaway was now Editor of the Madi- son Press, George Semones was enjoying his work as a trail guide at Yellowstone Na- tional Park, and Gloria Toth was climbing the ladder of success in ballet slippers, hav- ing already appeared in outstanding ballet performances in New York City. Our last stop was the Ohio building and here we admired the art work throughout so much that Phyllis asked who was respon- sible for it while I went over to sign the reg- ister book. When she came back we were equally excited—she over the fact that it was Betty Eland who was the artist, and I because I had found Mary Reynolds' name in the register! Under occupation she had written ski-instructor at Sun Valley, Idaho. Thus I had found, or accounted for all thirty six. At least this adventure proves one point—small world, isn't it? ? —Phyllis Bates 9 Determination is the Backbone of Success Stella Lezak A Pretty Cirl It Like A Melody C.R.'s I; Let Jeunes Filles 2. 3.4; Freshman Class V.

FRESHMEN CLASS The Freshman class got off to a good start with an enrollment of seventy two pupils, and the following officers: President ...................................Richard Woodworth Vice President .............................................Robert Signet Secretary......;..................................... Joan Toppari Treasurer ..................................................Norman Alber The class held a dance on February 1st, (the best dance of the year, just ask any Freshman! and contributed their part of the entertainment for Stunt Night. Betty Strickler, Mary McGovern, Robert Signet, Gordon Warner, Robert Luikart, Donald Wyman, Richard Hayes, Richard Woodworth, and Quentin Himebaugh attended the Scholarship Banquet. Gordon Warner and Robert Luikart were chosen to be the Freshmen representatives on the Student Council. 18 SENIOR PLAY The Senior Ploy which was presented on May 1 Oand 11 proved to be a great success. Appropriately entitled, Laughing Gas, it was a rip-snorting, insanely merry farce crammed with laughs, thrills and intriguing mystery, all moving at a fast pace. The story concerned Penny and Vivian Whitman, who decide to spend their summer vacation in New York and bring along their Aunt Amy as chaperon. In Greenwich Village they find a furnished apartment (a miracle at present) and immediately become involved in one of the most fantastically funny plots ever devised. This all happens in one exciting night. In the house they meet Mrs. Merlino, the Italian landlady; Olga, a Swedish maid; Chris Wynn, a mystery story writer, Paul Van Doren, a radio actor; Flavia, a surrealist poet; Kitty Doe, a Broadway chorus girl and her boy friend Rosie the local cop who dislikes Judge Haley. Hardly any of these people were what they were supposed to be. Some of them, and you were never quite sure who, were members of a notorious gang of jewel thieves who hove stolen the famous Bauer necklace and hidden it in the girl's apartment. After much fast-moving action the mystery is solved and Rosie and Kitty are married at the stroke of midnight. We regret that due to the late production date it was im- possible for us to ascertain who the cast would be in time for our deadline. The play was under the direction of Mrs. Holmes.

Words are by Phyllis Bates, Steve Ruzick and Fred Cornell. Responsible for arrangement were Ruth DeHeck, Bill Alves, Jonnie Lahti, and the Editor. In charge of special effects were Betty Elond and Peter Gress, and Laura Dooley handled the distribution. The Advertising department consisted of Barbara Hathaway, Merritt Neilsen, Phyllis Peshock, Phyllis Spear, Viola Volante, and Joann Glaab. We hope our efforts will be rewarded by finding this on your “Hit Parade. SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club this year, while they didn't elect officers, were very active socially. They took two trips to Cleveland, first to hear a speaker, and then to visit the Art Museum. Another took them to Painesville's Lake Erie College. Mrs. Ellertson entertained her “Buggers and the second year class at a luncheon. Another luncheon was held where everyone spoke entirely in Spanish with a South American guest. The Club once more put on a colorful scene for Stunt Night. STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council struck out on a mellow note this year. They held their first meeting October 1st and elected the following officers: President.............................................Peter Gress Vice President ..................................Carol Hohlfelder Secretary...........................................Lillian Busch Treasurer...........................................June Melcher They also provided entertainment for an assembly and gave a grand per- formance Stunt Night. This organization has aided considerably in helping school functions, school government, and getting more movies for the Student Body. SCHOLARSHIP CLUB The Scholarship Club for this year is composed of twenty members, with the following as officers: President ...........................................Henry Bobitch Vice President...................................Jane Ann Kubach Secretary ...........................................Marilyn Atkin Treasurer............................................Gordon Warner Our first concern after organizing was the Lake County Banquet which was held at North Madison on February 20th. We all feel this was a very successful venture, and well worth the effort spent in preparing for it. Looking back we see a very active year. We again enjoyed the privilege of honor study hall and the use of the books available there. We participated in several assemblies and had two booths at the school carnival. We used the proceeds to buy school letters. Early in the fall we went as a group to Paines- vilie where we visited several civic buildings and attended a court session.

With our hots, and a trim row of majorettes, we played for all the home foot- ball games, marching for the first time. We were guests of the Fairport band at their gridiron. We also played at one basketball game, and furnished en- tertainment in an assembly. In the spring we gave a concert with the chorus, to help pay for uniforms, which we hope to hove next foil. We also participated in Stunt Night and gave a Bunny Hop. A new custom has been established, enabling High School students who hove been in the band three years to receive school letters. We all feel that we have had a very successful year, and we owe a greot deal to Miss Carson for what she has contributed to our school. CHORUS With our new director, Miss Carson, we gave several fine performances this year, and were quite proud of ourselves! First on our schedule was a Christmas Cantata, which, after a necessary postponment, was presented fol- lowing Christmas Vacation. On February 28th we performed in a concert with the band. We provided music for an assembly and joined with the other school organizations in help- ing to make Stunt Night a success. The remainder of the year was spent in working on another Cantata ond other new music. Phyllis Bates was our accompanist throughout the year.

Bukky, L. Cornell, G. Csepegi, T. Csepegi, D. Emmett, J. Harmon, S. Harper, F. Roth, S. Ruzick, R. Titman and Roy Whipple, plus a large group of Fresh- men. Mr. Raveling the coach, was assisted by Mr. Alex Tomlinson. With little practice, Madison met the powerful Painesville Raiders on a sea of mud and were defeated 37 to 0. September 21, the Streaks traveled tc Geneva, where in an exciting game, T. Csepegi and S. Ruzick galloped away for three touchdowns. Final score 18 to 12. The next week Madison met Perry here and after a spectacular touch- down pass, the Pirates led 6 to 0 in the first quarter. As the final gun went off the Streaks were deep in Perry territory with the score still 6 to 0. A battered team traveled to Wickliffe on October 5th and was defeated 19 to 7 in a hard-fought game. The following week the Streaks met the Alumni at Hickok Field and for the first time in three years rolled over a mighty Alumni eleven 19 to 0. The succeeding Fridoy, Fairport played host to Madison and was vic- torious 33 to 6. In a league game the Streaks met and topped the avenging Chardon Hilltoppers, 7 to 6. Tom Csepegi kicked the extra point. As the game ended Madison was on Chardon's 1 yard line. On November 2, Edgewood traveled to Madison and was snowed under by a 19 to 0 score. Steve Ruzick intercepted an Edgewood pass on our 15 yard line, and with spectacular blocking by his team mates, ran 85 yards for the final touchdown. Perry returned to Hickok field on November 9 to play the final league game of the season, which meant a tie for first place if we won. Our eleven were fighting valiantly but the final disappointing score was 7 to 7. Thus we ended one of our most successful years tied for second place. Steve Ruzick and Roy Whipple were named to the Western Reserve All- Conference team and Jim Harmon, Al Znidarsic and Tom Csepegi received honorable mention.

Freshmen teams were coached by Alex Tomlinson. A practice game with Thompson on November 27 got us off to a roaring start by topping our opponents 20 to 18. The next week the Streaks crushed Geneva 23 to 18. We lost to Alumni on December 11, 28 to 19. Madison again met Thompson and triumphed 31 to 22. Next the Streaks traveled to Wickliffe and came home on the short end of a 42 to 18 score. During the game three varsity men were put out on fouls. With low spirits and the flu, the team entertained Kirtland and were defeated 48 to 32. Alumni once more triumphed 42 to 34. In a thrilling game with Perry here, we lost 19 to 17. Once more the two Madison teams clashed. Our Varsity won 45 to 30. Kirtland played host to the Streaks on January 18 and again were on the winning end of the final score, 51-23. In a hard fought game with Fairport, we lost 45 to 29. The following week we had a return engagement with Fairport, and lost 57 to 42. Back on their home floor the quintet met Chardon and were whipped 41-35. In our second game with Perry we led until the last minutes when the Pirates doubled their efforts and won by a close score of 40 to 35. During the year our Junior Varsity won five games and placed second in the Class B tournament. They show fine promise for a splendid team next year. Steve Ruzich was named all-star forward and he and Bill Alves were chosen to represent our Varsity and Junior Varsity in the Class B teams. CHEERLEADERS Cheerleading started out this year with the four regulars for Football, Phyllis Spear, Barbara Rooks, Betty Hoffacker and Alice Heitanen. When Basketball season came, Phyllis resigned and Maxine Brockway took her place. For basketball we had four junior cheerleaders, Marilyn Wickert, Arty Ivone, Barbara Thompson and Betty Strickler. These four have worked hard and deserve much credit. It is hoped the cheerleaders chosen next season will have the same fine spirit. To encourage student attendance at the games and promote school spirit, we conducted many pep assemblies during the year, and though our team wasn't on top, we were always behind them. THE VARSITY CLUB Immediately following the close of the Football season, the Varsity Club, a new organization of Madison High School, was formed with the sixteen major letter winners as its charter members. Later four other boys were given formal initiation and admitted to the Club. It has sponsored one program with success and is looking forward to more activities in the future. The prime purpose of the Varsity Club is to encourage participation in ath- letics and encourage community spirit for sports.

Chairmen of the various committees were: Social, Jeanne De Rubertis; Co-chairmen, Ways and Means, Alice Heitonen and Irene Nichols; Program, Bernice Paine. As in the past two years, we backed up our school newspaper The Hi- Times. Our versatile talents were displayed at Stunt Night, which we also sponsored, and as waitresses when we were solicited to serve at the Scholar- ship and Football banquets. Our annual Mother-Daughter Banquet con- cluded the schedule for this year. HI-TIMES The Hi-Times, which was again sponsored by the Les Jeunes Filles, func- tioned under the direction of Miss Steer, and with the following staff, chosen by the Girls' club. Editor, Barbara Hathaway; Assistant Editor, Lillian Busch; Business Manager, Carol Hohlfelder; Circulation, Jeanne De Rubertis; Re- porters: Bill Alves, Marilyn Atkin, Maxine Brockway, Juddy Ellertson, Jim Herendeen, Edith Jackson, Audrey Jerome, Phyllis Peshock, Gordon Warner and Fred Cornell. Typists were Florence Davis, Patty Elmore and Jeanne Walker, with the assistance of Joann Glaab, Mary Kerin and Stella Lezak. It sponsored a St. Patrick's dance, March 16th. The staff also partici- pated in Stunt Night with a hilarious skit on the way a paper is printed. JUNIOR PLAY The Junior Class ploy The Campbells Are Coming, o hilarious comedy in three acts, was produced April 4th and 5th. The story of the play takes place in the Ozark Mountains, and concerns Kaye Brannigan, a spoiled college girl, and the efforts of her adoring family to bring her back to her senses, thereby restoring peace and happiness in the Brannigan household. The high light of the play is the hillbilly act which Kaye's family stage in order to discourage a fortune hunting suitor.

We hove reserved this space in order to tell o little more obout the school activities ond entertainments which have little mention elsewhere in this book, but which ore to us the frosting on the coke. To relieve the burden of the first six week's grind the Varsity Club sponsored on evening's entertain- ment in the form of on amateur show. The main at- traction of this event was the presence of Pie Plant Pete, os master of ceremonies, with his friend Bosh- ful Joe ond his rollicking harmonico. To their reper- toire of mirth ond music were added the tolents of local participants including Gordon Warner, Bonnie Clork ond Roy Bushnell. At Hollowe'en time the Seniors led off the social whirl with o Mosquerode Donee with oil the frills. What a success that wos. Costumes of every descrip- tion—Mrs. Trescott os on Indion, David Titmon the scarecrow, ond lost but not least, that comic couple who walked off with first prize (ond turned out to be Mr. ond Mrs. Sahli! !) For the first of our lyceum programs we were entertained by the Kilties, o Highland quartette. They were dressed in kilts, traditional of their native Scotland. The purpose ond history of eoch garment was given. Following the introductions they fovored us with several songs os o group, ond the First Tenor rendered o solo. The pionist, o graduate of the Cin- cinnati Conservatory, delighted us with Chopin's Polonaise in A Flot. After explaining his bagpipes. Chief Nimo played two American folk songs on them to conclude the program. A short, but very impressive and well worked out pogeont depicting the Birth of the Christ Child wos given immediately following Christmas vocotion. A postponement, due to o flu epidemic, wos responsible for the lote production dote. In keeping with the Christmos spirit, we held a program in the auditorium just before vocotion begon. As you entered the door your eyes were attracted by the large Christmos tree near the stage. Mrs. Borlond gove the reoding, The Other Wise Mon by Von Dyke. Following the sing- ing of Silent Night in Spanish by Mrs. Ellertson's class the entire student body joined in singing other Christmos Corals. We were fortunate to have os our guests o panel of students from Cose School of Applied Science, who discussed racial discrimination ond its problems. It wos particularly interesting since the speakers were themselves members of the main rociol groups—o Japanese-Americon, o Negro, a Jew ond o mojority- Americon. Eoch told of his personal experiences ond grievances ond of the prejudices ogoinst his race. This program wos so well liked that later in the year Cose School ond Western Reserve University, tradi- tional rivals, brought us o debate team to furnish us with more food for thought. This program wos highly praised. Highlight of the Jr.-Sr. year was a galo prom held in the Bollroom of the Ashtobulo Hotel. An added attraction wos the bollet donee presented by eight Junior girls during the intermission. The evening's dance inspiration wos provided by Joe Montenaro's orchestro which is o fovorite of ours. Stunt night, the night when each closs ond club gets to display its talents, is gaining in importance each yeor. From on extra it hos become one of the year's major activities. It is under the sponsorship of Girl's Club, who orrange the stunts and provide a Moster of Ceremonies. As on inducement to partici- pate, they hove a floating trophy which is presented to the organization selected by the judges os giving the best performance. At previous performances the Grl's Club itself carried the laurels, but credit must be given to oil groups who took part in giving a fine performance. Something new ond different hos come to M.M.H.S. What? ? A boxing ond wrestling show presented through the efforts of Mr. Tomlinson ond Mr. Warner. We had such fearless contenders os Killer Cornell and Mon Mountain Bolch to name but two. The crowd wasn't very large, perhaps because it wos something new, but we still feel it was a success. March 1 5 brought us bock to the ringside. This time the public wos more responsive ond we feel we have mode a successful venture. Presto! Chango! And whot hove we here? Do you recall some similar expressions? That's right, the Mogician thot entertoined us this yeor. The selec- tions he chose from his bottomless bag of tricks caused us much omusement, yet held us mystified by his cleverness ot the art of deception. Frye ond Co. hove our heorty approval os excellent ossembly materiol! Commencement, the lost of the year's big affairs, added the finol feather to the Senior's cops—ond weren't they proud os they stepped up to receive that cherished diplomo! The speaker of the evening was Dr. Paul Foil, President of Hiram University, whom we were fortunate to secure.
