M. H. S...Their usual high spirits and un- equaled bursts of ever enthusiasm were not only quelled, but cramped right out, by those “pinch- hitters of morbidity”--viz.—the seniors. But somehow surviving the hatred taunts of upper class- men when not feeling like perfect fools, we did our meager best, by putting an all out effort on a few activities. We threw a gala skating party at the “Shore Palace,” for all to enjoy themselves to the utmost. The next event on the agenda was in striking contrast. For the “Stunt Night” pro- gram we really pulled a faux pas. M. Schiring, the weird humorist, concocted a “Schiring’s Spe- cial” and wrote a Mock Wedding. Will we ever forget the expression on A1 De Heck’s face as he plowed out on the stage with knees cramped over the handle-bars of a kiddy’s tricycle? Or Buse’s husky “torch” singing, giving out for all he was worth, with a suped-up version of “is You Is or Is You Ain’t My Baby ’ as it hideously resounded through the auditorium? The whole thing, as you would expect from a bunch of little, inexperienced Freshmen, was a big farce. However, we did manage scads of fun working on it. Also that year we managed to place a fair representation of our class on the basketball and football squads. The hailing of the Sophomore year found us more or less engrossed on a scholastic basis. For a brief change we got down to business and in the groove, our foremost interests being on the inclination of our studies. Our notorious horse play was at that time meeting its lowest «bb. The activities that year were few. A “Pearl Harbor’’ dance was staged on the 7th of December in memory of that decisive date. The birth of the Junior year found all the old zest and crazed minds once more set into scheem- ing action. Getting off on the wrong foot, we watched the addition of J. G. to our class. Not allow- ing opportunity to knock twice we found some culprits subtly snagging unauthorized advantages for putting illegal tactics into operation, hoping to cover up under the pater’s influence. (Boy! were they fooledlll??) Sometimes they pulled pretty slick jobs and other times they paid--right on the nose! As we had sufficiently mastered the novel art of foolery, we found it was a cinch to once again resume our former status, as the worst hellions the school yet produced. We held a holiday dance at “Ye Olde Tavern” in Unionville. This was a semi-formal affair and offered a good schedule of enjoyment. Full speed ahead was the indicated procedure for the Junior Play. This remarkable feat brought out the hidden talents of many members of our class and truly astounded all. Inevitably, of course, along with the more serious moods, there was quite a filler of the us- ual antics. For instance: the day the whole gang relieved the institution of their presence to in- dulge in swimming activity. And remember the ever-memorable night after the (slay, where the entertainment was furnished at the Lowrie residence. Next in order came1 ‘thee’ event of all events--the Junior-Senior Prom. As the magnitudinous bank account filled five digits (in big fat zeros) it was necessary for the laggards to really put forth some of that reserve energy. Strug- gling against the alloted time, our efforts finally saw achievement. The affair was held at the Madison Country Club, with the mellow music of Russ Harmon and his orchestra. This was tremendously enjoyed and a marvelous time was reaped by all. With our more ardorous strug- gles we managed to limp through the rest of that year. Now—111 the ultimatum or grand finale—the stage was all set for us; we merely had to successfully portray the role of the “almighty seniors.” Simple?—Hah—Maybe the whole deal sounds easy; however, you foolish mere mortals, we had our hands plenty full. For you to properly analyze the situation so you may better appreciate our tedious efforts, we shall state a brief resume of the ordeal. Our little role of seniors consisted of three main stages; ie., 1st, the exploratory or reconnaissance; 2nd, an ultimatum, and last, but not least, the active or par- ticipatory. So first up we acquired the usual customary characteristics marking befitting to our distinguished positions—the smug know-it-all-swagger, with detestable contempt for those who had not yet made the grade. Then a little fun with those abominable, obnoxious and equally a- trocious intruders to our haven—the Freshmen. Shall we say they endured a slight initiation? (We better or we will be liars!!) Now we shall proceed to the second stage which will include some of our accomplishments. The “Senior Kick-Off”to celebrate the climax of the grid-iron season, the “Senior Hayride,” immensely appreciated by many; then the hectic work on the Cauldron, losing sleep, missing classes and staying at school all night to complete it.

M. H. S. auditorium the nights of December fifth and sixth. The setting of the play was the lobby of the Miramar Hotel in Florida. It is here that Mr. Alonzo K. Page of Milwaukee, Wis. arrives with his daughter Janet, en route to South America, where (Mr. Page hopes) Janet will forget her lover, Jack Prescott, of whom Mr. Page disapproves. Comedy hits were furnished by Dick Woodworth and Bill Herr who cleverly impersonated girls as part of the plan to delay the Pages on their trip South. A very successful characterization of an old maid resident of the hotel was done by Doris Hughes, whose excellent acting was enthusiastically received by the audience. Colorful parts were taken by Bob Luikart and Barbara Gibbon, bell-hop and elevator girl, whose roles added much to the romantic interest of the play. The mature character part, Mrs. Helen Carter, was capably handled by Joanna Fuller, whose chic appearance added glamour to the play. Dick Keyse, as the personable, long suffering hotel clerk; Charlotte Cooper and Pat Hubbard, two attractive maids; Dolores Jopko, a ‘‘bratty” child and her weary Mother, Mary Smith; Frank Ellis as the hard boiled detective -- all helped to provide our entertainment that will be long remembered by both cast and audience. 14 BEAUX _VhE word beau comes from the Latin word, bellus, meaning pretty or fine. A beau is something that is essential to every girl’s life and has been from the beginning of the world. The first beau recorded in history was Adam, in the Garden of Eden. Down through the pages of history have come many famous beaux such as Cleopatra's Anthony, Elizabeth's Essex, Juliet's Romeo, even down to the very modern beau such as Charles Boyer, the Great Lover, and American's Number One Beau, Vic Damone. There are many types of beaux, but the one found almost everywhere is the jealous one. This kind causes one trouble galore! He always seems to know that you were in the drugstore with the boy whom you promised him a week ago (in a weak moment, of course) that you would not go with or even speak to. Some kind friend no doubt thought it his duty to tell him, so the story goes, you've gotten into trouble again. For a slight change, we shall now take up the shy type. He is the answer to a maiden's prayer. One can have a good time with this specimen of humanity even if she practically has to carry on a one-sided conversation, but there you have it again the case of whether one prefers the ardent or shy type. That's up to the girl. There is a type of beau who isn't quite as evil as the eager lover. This specimen believes in interdigital relationship before marriage. Meaning of course, “holding hands. I don't think that “Mama's Little Angel should be left out of the typing of Beaux. He is very rare and is seldom seen out with the general run of lasses. When a girl picks one of these on her string, she has something exceptionally hard to brush off. If a girl is out looking for a husband, this example of manhood can be highly recommended for he is a sign of security. I fear that he would prove to be duU and very uninteresting as a husband. Last but not least, is the standard beau. He has a little of all these traits I have mentioned. He is the kind of boy a girl likes to go with best of all-he pays just enough attention to her to suit her; gets jealous just once in a while; every few weeks gets a small case of W. H. T. (wan- dering hand trouble) which can easily be cured. Beaux have their advantages and disadvantages, but the entire history of the human race proves that the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Beaux are very necessary in every girl's life, as I have said before. They are the girl's means of being able to go places and to see things. Society demands that a girl have an escort almost every place she goes. It is considered improper for a girl to appear at a dance or other social gatherings unescorted. Thus, she must have beaux so she can circulate. Despite their advantages and disadvantages, beaux all lead up to one thing—that is a nice home and a family in future years--so girls, be careful whom you choose III 15 Thenior Thuthie ith no myth Theth awful pretty, but the ain’t no thith; And of you’re nithe, you might get a kith; From Thcrewball Thenior Thuthie with: Hair like Pat Abplanalp Figure like Arty Ivone Personality like Alice Hietauen A smile like Mac Brockway Sophistication like Jo Givens Clothes like Mac Brockway School spirit like Bernice Sperling Eyes like Marilyn Atkin Face like Marilyn Atkin Senior Sammy was a boy As blond as blond could be; So if you that manly joy, Please send him here to me, Traveled: John Behling Marilyn Atkin Artistic: Jim Darrow Joanne Givens Prettiest Teeth: Tom Buse Janet Nichols Reliable: Sam Miller Barbara Frink Flirtatious: Hal Joiner Marilyn Schiring Most Fun: Bill Emmett Carol Jerome Voice Like: Tom Buse A1 Hietanen Class Comedian: A1 DeHeck Marilyn Schiring Legs: Csepegi Barb Frink Bashful: John Shimick Frances Morgan Stubborn Like: George Csepegi Marian Miller Most Likely to Succeed: J.

The officers for 1947-48 were: President, Joan Toppari; Secretary and Treasurer, Barbara Gibbon. The Service Club has been responsible for the ticket sales, refreshments, and park- ing cars at the football james, and the sale of tickets at the basketball games. The Service Club is always on the lookout for ways to improve M. H. S. 27 PAPER STAFF First Row: Patricia Abplanalp, Phyllis Whipple, Arty Ivone, Jo Givens, Joyce Peckham.

After a series of voting we decided on the editor who was Arty Ivone. Business manager and circulations was Patricia Abplanalp; feature editor, Joyce Peckham. Marilyn Atkin and Joanne Givens did all the art work. Re- porters and typists were from the rest of the class. Miss Knoeppel was our advisor dnd in- structor. In the second semester we disbanded the “Blow” and concentrated mainly on writing ar tides for the Madison Press. 28 GIRLS’ CLUB FIRST ROW: Pat AbpLanalp, Joan Toppari, Barbara Gibbons, Joanne Blackburn, Wilda Grigg, Nancy Fisher, Phyllis Whipple, Jean Hansen, Helen Bukky, Leona Busch, Eleanor Mercer.

The officers are; Patricia Abplanalp, President; Patricia Hubbard, Vice-President; Rosanne Trescott, Secretary; Joan Toppari, Treasurer. The social events of the year included Informal and Formal Initation of new members, and a Pie Social, which was a huge success. Arrangements are being made for the girls interest in swimming. This will take place at Lake Erie College. G-Club was discontinued because of lack of activity and interest. 29 VARSITY CLUB FIRST ROW: John Lowrie, Bernard Bobitch, George Csepegi, Richard Titman, L. Cornell.

V_ UR Varsity Club was comprised of twenty-one eager, hard-fighting and winning-hungry men. The mighty Seniors gave us eleven members, followed by a representation of eight from the Junior class, while the Sophomores contributed one letterman. They actually were some of the most distinguished M. M. H. S. has produced in basketball, track and football. It took plenty of hard work, school spirit and teamwork to win those letters, and you can be sure they are regarded with much pride and appreciation. Although they were not very active socially, we still regard them as arrived. 30 FOOTBALL VARSITY Bill Emmett Half-back Sam Miller Half-back Rich Titman Center Dick Woodworth Hal Joiner Jack Mercer Fred Ellis Left Guard Left End Left End Half-back Adrian Fortney Tom Berry Right Guard Roily Titman Right Guard Jim Johnson Right Tackle 31 Quarter-back Continued Page 48 FOOTBALL FIRST ROW: Fred Ellis, Leonard Schnell, Richard Titman, Lee Cornell, Jack Lowrie, George Csepegi, Hal Joiner, Bill Emmett, Sam Miller, Bernard Bobitch.

QL OOTBALL practice Our new coach, Clayton started August 20 with thirty boys, including six lettermen participating. West, proved to be ) ist what we ordered. Our first game with Wickliffe was close, but we slowed up in the third quarter and they won. Geneva was ''give and take” until the end when we gained first towards victory. Kirtland proved a pushover and we shellacked tradition. Fairport gave us tough opposition we couldn't meet. They tramped Jefferson for a victory but Chardon was the upset of the year. We fumbled seriously; they took advantage of the situation. Best game of the season was with Edgewood; we delivered a whamming victory. Inclement weather in the last game with Perry made it difficult for both teams; we finally emerged the victors. 32 VARSITY BASKETBALL FIRST ROW: Tom Barry, Bill Emmett, Sam Miller, Halford Joiner, Jack Mercer. SECOND ROW: Dan Brown, Richard Keyse, Ed Hearn, Robert Heckel, Mr. West. Ci EASON started by a loss to Geneva. Next came a tight game with Thompson, which we won. Madison's first league game was with Kirtland, with the Streaks winning by a safe margin. Edgewood was the most decisive whipping of the season. Next came Wickliffe; they delivered us a striking defeat. In a see-saw battle the Streaks edged thru Chardon by four points. After being in first place, we dropped a league game to Perry. The alumni were easy marks for the Streaks. Madison was upset by Thompson at Thompson. A real thrill was when Madison beat Wickliffe, the league champs. At Fairport, we received a real trimming, then Kirtland delivered us a tough defeat. Chardon losing once to the Streaks ex- changed their loss. Fairport once more challenged us fiercely but even though they won, it was nip and tuck all the way. Perry succumbed to the superior team of M. M. H. S. as the last game of the season. 33 JUNIOR VARSITY FIRST ROW: Robert Luikart, Robert Trisket, Tom Miller. SECOND ROW: Mr. West, Paul Widlits, William Herr, Albert Povhe, Robert Jopko. C7 SO s some of the boys of Madison High goes no glory or fame. These are the reserves; the “jay-Vees.” Bob Heckel and Bill Herr covered the “jump” or center position, while Bob Trisket, Tom Miller, Bob Luicart, Dick Keyse, Albert Pohve, Paul Widlets and Stan Lackey played the important guard and forward positions. These boys, working hard and always learning, will make up the bulk of next year's Varsity Team. Under Coach Clayton West's careful guidance they gained the needed experience and al- though the going was rough at times, they showed that they have the ability which will make next year's Varsity topsl 34 FOOTBALL 9 12 47 • • .Wickliffe. . . . ♦♦ 9 19 47 • • .Geneva 9 26 47 . • .Kirtland .... 10 3 47 . . .Perry 10 10 47 . .Fairport 10 17 47 . .Jefferson . . . 10 23 47 . .Chardon 10 31 47 . .Edgewood. . . ♦♦ 11 7 47 . . .Perry BASKETBALL ♦ 12 2 47 . . .Geneva 12 9 47 . • .Thompson . . . 12 12 47 . ‘•Kirtland ♦♦ 12 16 47 . .Edgewood. . . . 12 19 47 . .Wickliffe. . . . ♦ 1 6 48 . . .

AE started this year with the four regulars for football, Alice Hietanen as head cheerleader, Joanne Givens, Marilyn Wickert, and Ruth Fobell, each being experienced in the field, from the previous year. We had a very busy year following the team to the games, cheering them on to victory, and enjoyed every minute of it. We also participated in some of the stunts which the band furnished for entertainment at the half of the home games. For the basketball season we had four junior cheerleaders, Leona Busch, Evangeline Bob- itch, Marilyn Brockway, and Joanne Blackburn, who will be varsity cheerleaders next year. They have done an excellent job and will continue to do so in the years to come. We have had a wonderful time cheering for our team, even though they were not always victorious. 36 Remember there was always that boy and girl who never got to class on time; they were the dependable.....

He carries your books, he buys you cokes. He walks you home and meets your folks. He comes around regardless of weather, And whenever you go, you're there together!

When school is getting harder, and I am working like a beaver, That is the time I start to get The dreaded thing----spring fever. When you hear that I’m not working, Not trying to do what’s right, You might as well say that I am Trying to fly my kite. I am getting kind of lazy, And getting very sore From my daily exercises, You know—one, two, three, four.

How many times have certain situations tremendously agitated us and we resort to directing unreasonable, un- founded and equally unintelligent words at people in a fit of anger? It would be much more profitable to first analyze the situation, and then use our brain, rather than our voice. People, especially students in school are not fully acquainted with life’s little game of “give and take,” are often inclined to be hasty and intolerant in their decisions and blindly allow their emotions to overcome their intelligence. We should not follow our emotions but rather our wisdom and intellectual powers — inasmuch as we are honest and sincere in believing them sound. Your success and happiness in life is in direct proportion to the degree your intelligence guides and directs you to think clearly. By far, the most important thing you can do for yourself and others is to think clearly. In all situations our sole ability to articulate, explain fully, and reason with ourselves in a logical way, never becoming intolerant, finds for us the ability to command fully a situation. What other ego-inflator does more to elevate us than this latter attribution? The second we cast all other trends of thinking (or more accu- rately defined: jumping to conclusions) aside and commence to put the “gentle art of thinking to work, the faster we shall find it will lead us along the road to success and all of its desirable tributaries. THE WOES OF YOUTH Tis the night before payday And all through my jeans I’ve hunted in vain For the ways and the means. Not a quarter stirring Not even a bit-- The greenbacks have left me The pennies have quit. Forward, turn forward O time in thy flight And make it tomorrow Just for tonight. NATURE As you journey to school, what do you see ( The beauties of nature in all their glory? But the beauty of nature, many declare, Is rivaled by the fad of “Peroxided” hair. For dull brown hair could be spruced up a bit With a drop of peroxide and make a big hit. If we relied only on nature and with what we were blessed, Some people we know would look an absolute mess. Pink, rosy cheeks so attractive to a male, Without rouge would look gruesome and pale, If we didn’t resort to some sort of device Nature unaided wouldn’t look very nice. These curly haired lasses that really do rate, Would look pretty creepy with locks that were straight, And how would some mouths look minus false teeth? A definite picture of awe-stricken grief. If we’d left Nature as it was in 1,000,000 B. C. So I think you’ll agree that my argument’s strong, If you don’t look just right: -- help Nature along. 43 Name Present Interest Ambition Often Says Answers To Pet Peeve Bill Reese Girls, graduation Civil engineer Ain’t you the one.

(It is regretted a play-by-play account of that riotous enterprise cannot be given at this time, but it was not yet completely organized for publication in the Cauldron.) Now the last stage. It can be ascertained that we did a pretty thorough job in keeping the reputation of the Senior class right on the dot. This was really an all around old last year terminating our efforts, slap-happy days, and ridic- ulous antics that will not be anymore. Now as we leave dear old M. M. H. S. we look back with regret at the many mistakes we made and with pride at our numerous accomplishments. Per- haps we detect a slight sensation of remorse, wingled out by a feeling of uncertainty to realize the best and most fun-loving days of our young lives are completed. However, we leave to you, underclassmen, this thought for brain-feed. You’ve really been a grand bunch to work and play with and we hope you understand we weren’t so bad after all, with wishes of all the luck in the world for you seniors yet to come, and remember—your day is comingllll to all those who have contributed and whole-heartedly helped to make possible this yearbook of 1948. We profoundly believe that the Cauldron would have been an impossible task without the help of Miss Knoeppel, our advisor, a competent typing staff and all those other individuals who have offered their time-valued service.
