Let us picture while we gaze through and enjoy this yearbook of M. M. H. S., that we are one of the Knights or Ladies of King Arthur’s Court. Think of the Seniors as the Kings and Queens of the Court in search of success in their undertakings in life (The Holy Grail). For anyone can be King or Queen in that life in which he is placed, if he draws forth the sword of Success from out of the “Iron of Circumstances.99 And when your adventures or risks come, for come they will, you may be like King Arthur that day when he entered in- to his birthright of Royalty. You, too, may achieve Success with the entire satisfaction of a job well done to your great glory, and perfect happiness! 3 IN HONOR OF OUR FIRST WESTERN RESERVE LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP, WE DEDICATE THE 1951 CAULDRON TO OUR VICTORIOUS FOOTBALL TEAM AND COACH- ING STAFF.

You are richer if you have thought more in terms of “thyself’ than “myself or if you have managed to be cheerful even when you were weary. You are richer if a little child has smiled at you, or a stray dog has licked your hand, or if you have looked for the best in others, and have given others the best in you. Our road through life is a new way for ail of us. We travel it only once. Each day finds us beginning anew our journey with no idea of what experiences, what scenery, what joys, what sorrows may come to us. But travel we must. With what confidence you go on your journey will depend upon to what extent you have mapped out each detail of your journey. 7 Principal Mr. Tidd Social Studies Secretary Joyce Pastor Coach Mr. Moritz Psychology Mrs. Behm Science Mr. Brockett Chemistry and Physics Mr. Bristol Math Miss Farabaugh Commercial Studies 8 Coach Mr. Cover Driving V v 1 Mrs. Trescott Languages Speech Journalism Mr. Kilpatrick English Mr. Meyer Industrial Arts Mrs. Custer Home Economics 9 tj N September, 74 frightened students met to form the Freshman class of ’47 with Mr. Raveling and Mrs. Behm as class advisors. We started the year off by electing Dick Bates as President, with Norman Nichols, Freeman Pudder and Evangeline Bobitch as our other officers. In October we held our first social event, a Halloween Party. As Freshmen we stayed as much as possible in the background until Interclass Tournaments. To our surprise and delight the Freshman girls, under the able guidance of Mr. Raveling, managed to beat the Senior girls in a closely contested basketball game. Our Sophomore year began with our hopes high and our treasury low. Evangeline Bobitch, Barbara Naughton, Betty Woidtke, and Dick Bates were our class officers and Mr. West and Mr. Moritz served as our advisors. Realizing our financial need we solved the problem with a carnival held at H. N. K. S. This proved to be a great success financially, not to mention the enjoyment shared by everyone. The Sophomores then surprised the school, as well as themselves with the Spring Hop, which was one of the best dances ever held at M. M. H. S. Incidentally, the Sophomore girls came through to win the championship again during the Interclass Tournaments. In the Junior year we called on Joan Davidson, to lead us through the strain of the Junior Play and the Prom. Dick Bates, Joanne Blackburn, and Earl Schiring assisted her, and Mr. Grafel and Miss Harding (Mrs. Custer) were advisors. We knew that the Prom would be a drain on our treasury so we set about to compensate for this by selling candy and magazines. Next we held a Skating Party which was also a success. Later we staged a Style Show and Cake Walk which filled our aud- itorium to overflowing. “Three Fingers In the Door, ” a mystery play under the direction of Mr. Grafel and Mrs. Custer, was also a great success. The Prom brought to a close our string of events and proved to be the wonderful evening we had all anticipated. This event was held on May 20th at Richmond Valley Inn. We enjoyed a most delicious dinner and danced to the music of Russ Harmon’s orchestra. This year was outstanding for another reason because both boys and girls won the Inter class Tournaments. At last our Senior year arrived--the happiest one of our school life. We started the year off by electing officers and Cauldron Editor. The Senior Class officers were Dick Bates, Eileen Ellertson, Jean Hanson, and Grace Chegwidden. Our Cauldron Editor was Frances Nash. We held our advanced Cauldron sale in October and were well pleased with the results. As it has always been traditional for the Seniors to have class parties, we started the year off in style, having a Halloween Party on October 30th. It is also traditional for the Seniors to sponsor the Homecoming Dance at which time one of our members was crowned Football Queen. The lucky person was Nancy Fischer who was escorted to the throne by Bill Jopko, captain of the football team. Her attendants were Joanne Blackburn and Eleanor Mercer, escorted by Don Robinson and Dick Bates, respectively. The girls were gowned in ballerina length dresses and carried bouquets of chrysanthemums. During the year we held three more class parties. On the 1st and 2nd of April we produced the Senior Play under Mrs. Trescott’s direction. On May 31st we received the reward for our years of work: our goal -- graduation. This diploma. I am sure, will mean much to us all our lives, and our school life at M. M. H. S. will remain a colorful page in our book of memories. 10 RICHARD BATES Little Dick Leader in sports, clubs, classes--all In everything he's on the ball.

HEAR YE 1 HEAR YE! SCHEDULE SIDLEY SITE CEREMONY Madison--A dedication ceremony will be held tonight of the new, and already world-famous, Madison Square Gardens, located on the site of the old Sidley Farm. Robert Sidley, upon retiring left a large portion of his hugh fortune for the purpose of erecting a stadium on the donated land. Rumor has it he gave the gift to escape a 120% income tax on his fortune which, if enforced would soon have left the cattle king bankrupt. The main attraction of the evening will be a wrestling match between Adeline “One Eye’ Larko and Betty “Bombshell Brown. Clarabelle Cutler, Brown’s man- ager, staunchly declares confidence in a victory for her contestant. CLIMBING IN COMEDY CREATIONS Climbing the ladder to success in the comedy world are a new team, Jean Hatch and Dale Gibbon. Jean is the “man behind the gun” as she pours forth page after page of the humor that sets us rocking as we hear it over the air from the lips of Dale Gibbon over Station HaHa. FISCHER FEATURES FANCY FOOTSTEPS Another newsnote from Hollywood is the success attained by the Fischer Fancy Footsteps Studio. Miss Fischer herself has appeared in many movies, and has recently realized her dreams of producing the dance sequences in an entire production. And a very fine job she has done too. DIET DISCOVERIES DUE Doctor Raymond Berus has been making extensive surveys to stop those deroggatory remarks from your husband about your added weight. And it’s all without diet. Pat Atkin and Pat Brumbaugh gave up their former Erofession as dietician to enter this promis- lg new field. Ladies, be patient, for you may soon be relieved of your excessive weight safely and scientifically. AGRICULTURE ARTISTS AMAZING AMERICA Agriculture researcher, Roy Ferrick, has made startling new discoveries in the field of plant and animal husbandry. These facts, still in the experimental stage, are being worked on night and day by the owner of the Neville Testing Farm and his wife and Business Manager, the former Barbara Naughton. SHOW IS SMASHING SUCCESS Broadway has another hit! The nationally famous Grace Che widden—Eileen Ellertson duo was a great calling card for producer Franklin Dodge’s latest and greatest. No little credit for the success of the show, “M. M. H. S. Pinafore must go to Mary Nash, the versatile composer of the breezy romance which has smashed Broadway the hardest of any show since “South Pacific.

The play takes place on a dude ranch resort in Cactus Springs, Arizona. Bill Crane, the manager of the ranch was interested in selling it. Jane Ivey and Sam Finch both wanted to buy the resort. The guests, Lester Jenkins, his wife and daughter, and Charleen Newby were mystified by the sudden appearance of a young Mexican lad, supposedly Pancho's brother. Ail except Kathryn, that is, who knew the “stranger’ was Dudley, her fiance. The disguise was to fool Mrs. Jenkins because she was against her daughters marriage to a “sodajerk”. With the help of the workers at the ranch, however, she finally convinced her mother that she was right. The members of the cast were: Bill Crane - Manager of the resort----------------------------------Barry Brumbaugh Jane Ivey - Representative of St. Louis Real Estate Firmi-----------Elizabeth Raveling Lester Jenkins - A henpecked husband ____________________________________Joe Sir onen Luetta - his domineering wife-----------------------------------------Marilyn Woidtke Kathryn - their daughter----------------------------------------------Phyllis Kenyon Dudley Brackenbergen - in love with Kathryn__________________________Clifford VanDyke Hannah Lafferty - Cook - Housekeeper-----------------------------------Patricia Miller Sam Finch - Prospective Buyer_____________________________________________Tom Flanigan Charleen Newby - an artist from Milwaukee__________________________________Judy Cone Pane ho - Man - of - all - work________________________________________Robert Madden Danny Simms - A boy with ideas___________________________________________Eugene Mann The Juniors worked hard to make their play a success and deserve a lot of applause for 28 a swell performance.

The fellows started practicing under the able coaching of Mr. Moritz and Mr. Cover even before school opened in the fall. Through their united efforts they sailed through a victorious season, fighting just as hard in non- league games as in Western Reserve competition to finish up with six wins and three losses. We’re very proud of our champions and wish the best of luck to next year’s team in their struggle to keep on top of the heap. 37 Junior High Football FIRST ROW: WALTER ROOKS.

MADISON 7 PERRY 32 The Perry Pirates, defeated an over- confident Madison Blue Streaks 32—7. It was a team victory for Perry with the scoring being very evenly distributed. The score would have been a lot different if Madison's star half- back, Bill Jopko had not been injured in practice. Perry scored two quick touchdowns early in the game and from there on it was Perry ail the way. Madison scored its lone touchdown in the fourth quarter on a long pass from Robinson to Pierfeiice. MADISON 0 GENEVA 52 The Geneva Eagles defending Champions of the Lake Shore League thoroughly trounced and underdog, Madison eleven, 52---0. The first quarter was very even with the Eagles leading, 6—0. From there in Geneva scored at will. It was Don Partick and Jim Rabinstein who did most of the damage for Geneva. Bill Jopko was Madison's big gun on offense and defense as he continually stopped Geneva's offensive attack. MADISON 18 EDGEWOOD 7 The Blue Streaks playing one of the roughest forty-eight minutes all season, defeated Edgewood 18-7. The Streaks outclassed their opponents to get back in the win column. Bill Pasco scored all three touchdowns, behind good hard blocking and alertness. Although this game carried more penalties than any other game, it had no bad effects on the game. Even though this wasn't a league game the Streaks fought hard every minute of the way. MADISON 6 JEFFERSON 0 It was a tough and stubborn Jefferson team that made the Streaks resort to a last period score to win the game 6-0. The game was a see-saw battle all the way with the teams i ntercepting each others passes. With a few minutes remaining in the game, the Falcons drove to the Streaks two yard line. There Madison held them for three downs and on the fourth, B. Jopko intercepted a pass in the end zone and drove to the eight yard line. Two plays later Jopko broke away for an eighty-eight yard run. 38 MADISON 7 WICKLIFFE 6 MADISON 0 FAIRPORT 40 A first quarter touchdown and extra point paved the way for a hard fought victory. Jopko’s score and Behm's drop kick provided the margin as Madison's defense tightened to keep the lead and win the game. Wickiiffe's tally came in the second quarter and the kick was no good. The second half was a rough see--saw battle filled with excitement. The victory meant a lot to the Madison team and fan’s. MADISON 21 CHARDON 6 Although out weighed, Madison’s fleet- footed left half, Bill Pasco ran wild to score all three Madison touchdowns. Even though the Blue Streaks had their work cut out for them, they came through with the speed and determin- ation and a victory. The game was packed with thrills as both teams fumbled considerably. It was a good test for our squad, and they proved worthy of the victory. MADISON 71 K3RTLAND 0 The Blue Streaks journeyed to Kirtland to meet a team high in spirit. Kirtland had been having one of their best seasons in recent years. The Streaks had command of the game from start to finish, with Bill Pasco making six touchdowns. Don Robinson and Mario Izzarelli each contributed two and Bob Pierfelice went over for another one. The Streaks thus proved they were on their way for the Western Reserve League Championship, no matter who stepped in the way. The Blue Streaks ventured to Fairport where they were defeated by a superior Fair- port team in a driving rain. The Blue Streaks gave the small group of fans a lot of excite- ment. When they recovered a fumble on the 25 yard line in the first five minutes of the game. Bill Jopko driving off tackle, carried the ball down to the two yard line, but an off side penalty put the ball back to the seven yard line. Bill Pasco carried the bail down to the one inch line on their fourth down. It was a good game regardless of the score. Bill Jopko was Madison's offensive and defensive star as he continually broke up Fairport’s plays. MADISON 48 PERRY 0 The Madison Blue Streaks reached their goal, by defeating the heavily favored Perry Pirates 48-0. This was truly a team victory, for not only did they score 48 points, but their opponents never got past the Streaks 37 yard line. The Streaks wanted this game for three good reasons; to win undisputed league Championship, to regain the pres- tige they lost in the 37--7 beating earlier in the season, and to gain themselves a 6---3 record for the 1950 season. They by far did their best blocking of the season, and by playing their hearts out turned in a championship team. It was the last game for eight seniors in the squad who helped to make the season victorious. DID YOU KNOW THAT The 71-0 whipping the Blue Streaks gave Kirtland, set a new record? In league play, the Streaks had only 12 points scored against them while they scored 147 points? The beating the Blue Streaks gave Perry was the worst that Madison has beaten in football history? That score was 48-0. The Blue Streaks, Bill Pasco, set a record for the most touchdowns in one game, the number was six. Bob Pierfelice had the best yards per try average because of the end around play? He had 11 yards per try. This was the first Western Reserve Championship in football history of the school? It was also the first Championship in 24 years in any league? This years squad was small per player, with 24 boys in the squad at a line average of 165 pounds? Bill Pasco received the most valuable player award, while Dale Gibbon received the outstanding lineman award? Do you realize how these facts show that it was a team victory, a swell season, and a grand group of guys? 39 Basketball FIRST ROW: BILL JOPKO, BOB PIERFELICE, MR. COVER, DON ROBINSON, CARL NICELY, BILL PASCO. SECOND ROW: EUGENE MANN, DALE GIBBON, RONALD QUIRK, DAVE BEHM, DICK BATES. ONTINUING Madison’s victories, the basketball team struggled through a difficult season to tie with Char don for the league championship. In game after game, the Blue Streaks came from behind to win in the last few minutes. It was an exciting season and the boys played hard in every game. Besides being the Western Reserve co-champions, they have the added distinction of being the only team in the league that could beat Chardon. This year’s championship teams have set an example which we hope the future teams of M. M. H. S. will successfully follow. 40 Reserve Basketball MR.

As the boys in blue come out on the floor; The people from Madison stand up and roar. After minutes, it seems, the warm-up is over, Then the boys get together with Mr. Cover. It’s seconds before the game shall begin; The balls are thrown in and “it’s out to win!” The cheerleaders, dressed in traditional colors; Hope their cheers will help our boys out-play the others. Madison takes the ball and is off like a streak; The opponents tighten their defense, (which seems weak), In hopes they can stop the Madison five, Because right now the score is tied. Though the minutes left in the game are but four, Madison doggedly raises the score. And there goes the winning point for Madison! Was it Pasco, Jopko, or Robinson? As the crowd goes passing by I know not whether to laugh or cry. Whether it’s football or basketball it’s still the same, We’re in there punching to win the game! So win or lose we heave not a sigh, But keep on plugging for ole Madison Hi. R.Q. 42 Spring Sports BASEBALL TEAM FIRST ROW: BOB MADDEN. DICK DONALDSON, ROY FERRICK, FRANK STANONIK. MARTIN RAND, MR.
