METZLER We feel that we are very fortunate in having Mr. Metzler for our principal during our four years of high school. His ability in organization has smoothed out our course through school. His attitude has greatly strengthened Madison ' s reputation of no favoritism. FRANK P. GORDON Mr. Gordon, our efficient trustee, has made many friends among the stu- dents, teachers, and pat- rons of Madison High School. His good humor and kindliness are always present to eliminate any difficulties. [Nine] MADISONIAN Mr. Marburger has a winning personality and is popular with the boys possessing athletic abil- ity. Before joining our faculty he supported athletics in the ca- pacity of referee and since then as coach. Mr. Marburger also has plenty of other work to keep him busy. He has three history classes and knows about 100 vol- umes of outside reading books to the page. He is always willing to give of his time to anyone. Miss Larrick has had a great deal of experience as a Senior class sponsor and has done much to make this year a success for our class. Her personality has won many friends in the other classes and her knowledge of Latin, English and classics has made pleasant study and inter- esting courses for many who will remember her the rest of their lives. Miss Swarm is our versatile Domestic Science teacher. We have all learned to like her and her methods of teaching and dis- cipline. Besides having classes eight periods of the day she con- ducts the hot-lunch. We have no doubt but that she will make ex- cellent housewives of the girls who participate in her depart- mental activities. [Ten] MADISONIAN Mr. Van Pelt is our local agri- cultural expert; as such, he is doing his share in making our school and community much bet- ter. He instructs his students very carefully and because of this is developing some excellent future farmers for Madison Township. He believes in having order in classes but is always jolly and full of fun outside. This is Mrs. Sweigart ' s first year at Madison and we hope she has enjoyed it. As far as we can see it has been a decided suc- cess. We appreciated her work as basketball coach and we learned that she can hold her own. Since she teaches ' ' clean play she demands a close referee. Mr. Schurr is the Freshies sponsor and as everyone knows he has much faith in them. He has been a Madison Township teacher for many years but this is his first year at the high school. He is a great booster for our school and helps in every way he can. I MiLLiCENT Hall President The person who takes Millicent ' s place will have to work hard. Al- though an excellent stu- dent M i 1 1 i c e n t finds time for Marvin and perhaps for another. Millicent has been a very capable President during our Junior and Senior years. ESTELLA BeEHLER Secretary and Treasurer Anyone who knows Estella agrees that Cleo has exceptionally good taste. She is popular wherever she is known and has a very pleasing- personality. She has served as secretary and treasurer for three years. Margaret Murphy Vice-President Os ' s ' girl, as she is sometimes referred to, occupies the last seat in the study hall. We have heard that she would like to go to Purdue and become a Home Economics teach- er. Margaret is respon- sible for the literary work of the Madison- ian. [Fifteen] [Thirteen] Dorothy schweisberger Full of fun with a smile for all the boys and always dressed be- comingly, that ' s Doro- thy. She and Millicent are usually seen about together. Marie Loucks Marie is one of those living examples of why gentlemen prefer blondes. She is very popular around Waka- rusa and Madison but Kid seems to be the lucky one. Byron Eslinger Barney made quite a hit as Mayor Sid Pres- sely in our Junior play. He has very efficiently filled the position of yell leader for the last two years even though he is a second team player. Barney has also been business manager and advertising agent for the Madisonian. EsTELLA Fredericks Estella is a student of rare ability. Her drawings for the Madi- sonian have added much to the attractive- ness of the book. Her basketball ability did much to win points for our team. Mable Stickel Mable is that black haired girl who is usu- ally near when Barney is about. Her domestic science work should go well with Byron ' s agri- culture. [Sixteen] Elsie Blondia Elsie is one of Baldy ' s best economics students and gets good grades in her other classes too. We had all heard that someone had been coming to see Elsie but it wasn ' t until lately that she brought her young Mishawaka man out here. ESTELLA FeLTON She can act and sing and plays a piano. Stella is ambitious and we ex- pect much from her. She will no doubt soon find a practical applica- tion for her Home Eco- nomics work. Leroy Hirstein Leroy is quite a lady ' s man. They say girls pursue him where- ever he goes. He thinks quite a bit of a fresh- man girl now. He has been active in athletics during his four years of high school. Sophia Berger Sophia is quite an advocate of the adage Little girls should Ije seen and not heard. That is when Howard isn ' t near but then — you should hear her talk. Keep it up, Sophia, we think you are making a LITTLE progress. Esther Eslinger Byron ' s cousin, that is so willing to help Byron when he can ' t answer a question in class, is just as willing to help anyone else. This trait and her sunny disposition have won her many friends. Esther had a leading part in the operetta this year. [Seventeen] 11 Elsie Fox Elsie is always busy, but her labors are re- warded, as her report card shows. No de- merits and fine g:rades are her rewards for dili- gence. Elsie has no enemies, for her kind- ness and cheerful spirit wins friends for her everywhere. Edna Weldy By looking at our auburn - haired senior, one would think she is very quiet. But Edna is full of fun and can make w h o o p e e as many of her classmates know. Erma Anthony Curly left us at the end of the first semes- ter because of poor health. As she was a favorite, her going was regretted by all. She is now Mrs. Roscoe Smelt- zer. SJjlJ - Un (Sri li T M J.. Marie Bringolf It is hard to mention Marie without also men- tioning Edna and Doro- thy for she is usually with them. She is a fa- vorite with the teachers and is a wow at giv- ing witty answers to catchy questions. Dorothy Hartman This quiet, red haired girl is perhaps our most dignified senior. Even tho ' she is timid, she can usually respond quite satisfactorily in class. [Eighteen] MADISONIAN (Class history) SPRING (FRESHMEN) SPRING is the time of all green and growing things, fresh and verdant in their newness to life. What more fitting, then that the Freshies, in this green time of their life, should be compared to the Spring of the year. The essential characteristics of Spring (March winds and April showers) are very necessary to the shoots of knowledge in the Freshmen mind. We felt the first pull of the plow and cultivator in the spring of our career when we organized and elected, as class officers, Nelson Leman, president; Margaret Murphy, vice president; Millicent Hall, secretary and treasurer. We chose a flower and class colors to correspond, the colors being green and white, and our flower, the Valley Lily. As our sponsor we chose Miss Swarm, who proved a real friend to us in the days when we were so green. We surprised the seniors, somewhat by our conduct at the first social event of the year — the Senior reception for us. SUMMER (SOPHOMORES) But the March winds and April showers brought on the warmer hues of summer and an abundance of May flowers. In our second year, our powers of self-possession devel- oping, we did not hesitate to claim a part as true representatives of Madison High School. We felt much wiser and so much more grown up. However, seven were left by the green wayside of the spring. Two new students came from Wakarusa tho ' , making a total of twenty-five. This year we chose Mr. Van Pelt as our sponsor and elected Estella Felton, president; Marie Loucks, vice president; and Estella Beehler, secretary and treasurer. We changed our colors to Rose and Silver and our flower to Sweet Pea, these colors and the flower being characteristic of summer. We retained our motto of Making Each Golden Moment Ours. Our class hadn ' t yet shown much musical inclination but Hirstein, Barney, Estella Felton, and Erma Anthony entered the athletic association. Before the end of the year Margaret Herbst left us and went to Illinois to live. Such a dignified Soph class never existed before. Originality? — no end of it. Our original demonstrations in geometry were probably the newest discoveries of the age. And in closing the history of the Sophomore year the gang which was composed of eight girls must be mentioned. AUTUMN (JUNIORS) Fall with its brilliant foliage and fruit ushers in the harvest. So we, as Juniors began to reap the results of our first two years. This was a hard year for us and was made no easier by our nearest kin, the Seniors, who seemed quite unfriendly toward us. We started a hard year of study by again organizing and changing our class colors and flower as well as sponsor. The officers elected were: Millicent Hall, president; Estella Felton, vice president; Estella Beehler, secretary and treasurer; Miss Sutherlin, sponsor. Our flower was the white rose and our colors cream and light green. Since we now held the im- portant position of Junior class we felt it incumbent upon us to do something to distinguish ourselves. And distinguish ourselves we did, by completely extinguishing the hostile Seniors by giving in their honor, the most successful reception on record. As it was an age of aerial enthusiasm we carried out an aeronautical theme. WINTER (SENIOR) The leaves scatter and fall, the snow descends, and all gather around the crackling flames, and so we enter the Senior year. Yes, Winter is rugged, and so are the Seniors — rugged in their might. We were so oc- cupied with our studies and work that we had very little time to devote to social activities. [Nineteen] MADISONIAN Millicent Hall and Estella Beehler retained their official positions and Margaret Murphy was elected, vice president; Miss Larrick became class-sponsor. We kept the same flower, colors and motto. By way of recreation members of our class were active in athletics, a minstrel, debaters club, chorus and our class play. And now the four long years are passed; the Freshmen of 1925 are Seniors of 1929. Our enjoyable experiences by far outweighed the unpleasant ones, but quite a few of our class which in the beginning numbered thirty missed many of the pleasures of being a senior by dropping out. Erma Anthony, one of these, was forced to drop out on account of sickness. By looking at our pictures one can tell we are all highly pedigreed but it would be much too difficult to trace each individual ' s ancestry back very far so I will — to show what progress we have made — show the baby picture of each of our remaining sophisticated Seniors. The number at the end of this fourth year is 17 which are these: Elsie Blondia, first daughter of Alfonse Blondia. Esther — and Byron — whose sur- names are Eslinger. Mable Stickle, whose sur- name may sometime be Eslinger, also. Dorothy, one of the little Schweisberger ' s. Marie, the fair daughter of Wm. Loucks. Leroy Hirstein, the heart breaker (but he is soon for- gotten.) Estella Beehler, our favorite Senior and the girl of abounding personality. Sophia Berger, who never got over the jolliness of her Junior year. Edna Weldy, a girl of strong mind as her auburn hair indicates. Margaret Murphy, the lover of romance and inde- pendence. Estella Fredericks, our dainty and comely Senior. Estella Felton, the socially inclined bright light of our class. Millicent Hall, the girl of the west. Dorothy Hartman, timid but industrious. Elsie Fox, our most studious Senior. Marie Bringolf, who is al- ways surprising us by her answers. [Twenty] MADISONIAN Last Will and Testament WE, the most highly honored, lauded and esteemed class that has passed or probably ever will pass from this great institution of learning, do publish this, our last will and testament. Article I — To Mr. Gordon we will three pounds of appreciation done up in a gunny sack and hung on the flag pole in front of the school. Article II — To the faculty we extend warm thanks for their hearty co-operation in all our problems, and express our sorrow because no longer will they be able to teach such a bril- liant class, but will have to be content with this unnitelligent bunch of Juniors. Article III — To our flourishing but yet unripe Freshman brothers we bequeath three years (or more) of pleasant (or otherwise) experience in getting a high school education. Unto that unassuming, innocent bunch of Sophomores we leave our ability to make A ' s in our subjects and U ' s in our conduct, and to keep the entire faculty under nervous strain trying to keep a reasonable amount of order in the building. To our nearest kin, the Juniors, we leave our advice and ability in deciding questions of great weight and also our dignity to be used in the study hall and other public places. At this point we wish to endow Mr. Walters with the task of getting Mr. Gordon ' s gunny sack off- the flag pole and presenting it to him. Article IV — To Kenneth Kern we bequeath Estella Beehler ' s ability to handle money and to Olive Grenert, Estella ' s ability to be true to one fellow.

Unto Anna Hillaert, we wish to leave Dorothy Hartman ' s meekness and blushes, pro- viding she will use them to an advantage. To Mary Buday, we bequeath Mabel Stickel ' s bobbie pin in hopes that she will then keep her hair out of her face. To Wm. Showalter, we leave Millicent Hall ' s brains in hopes he will use them.

To her sister Wilma we bequeath Stella Felton ' s ability to lend attractiveness to the basketball team. Article V — To Kenneth Kern we leave an encyclopedia of etiquette on How to Be- have Properly Under Any Circumstances in six volumes, bound in chicken skin and writ- ten by Margaret Murphy, whose conduct grades qualify her to write on the subject. To Ada Felton we wish to bequeath Elsie Blondia ' s ability to have a steady boy friend. To Kid Troxel we bequeath Leroy Hirstein ' s ability to make wise cracks. Article VI — We do hereby appoint Edna Hesch and Lela Hawkins to be the executors of this, our last will and testament. We do hereby provide that three hours after our demise our obituary shall be published in all the world ' s leading funny papers and be broadcasted over Sears, Roebuck ' s station during the Coo-Coo hour. In w itness thereof we hereunto set our hands in seal this 29th day of March, 1929. Signed: Senior Class of ' 29. [Twenty-one] MADISONIAN TWENTY YEARS HENCE— tt r Mail, Special, The latest news from long distance, was the cry J J that I heard as I stepped from my apartment on Fifth Ave., Extra. I called to my partner, Estella Oberly (formerly Beehler) who was inside and asked her if she knew what it was all about. The newsboy answering in his gruff voice said, All about Estella Fredericks making the record flight across the ocean. As soon as we regained our composure, we secured a paper and read more. The head-lines, Estella Fredericks flies across ocean, making record, met our eyes in big black letters. Started at 6 a. m. Satur- day from Roosevelt Field; arrived at Challex Field, France 8 a. m. Sunday. Will return in two weeks. We couldn ' t read any farther. After recovering from our speechless amaze- ment, Beehler (as I still called her before I thought) suggested that the class of ' 29 hold a banquet in honor of the aviatrix at Hotel Madison, when she should return from France. We started plans for the banquet immediately. It was to be held at Madison Center. Estella and I went to the telegraph office to send a message to our honored classmate in France, inviting her to attend a banquet in her honor in two weeks at Madison Center. Since the members of our class were scattered all over the U. S. we thought we had better announce it over the radio. Leroy Hirstein was the announcer of KFI, the radio station in Hollywood, so we notified him. We learned that Leroy had gone to Hollywood to seek fame, but after failing to find it, secured a famous wife, Estella Felton and was appar- ently satisfied to be a radio announcer. He had learned to control his voice and made a good announcer. Being interested in our class he promised to announce our plans every day and also said if Stella could cancel her engagements for a couple of days they ' d be glad to attend the banquet. We went to the information bureau to find out if any of our classmates were in Chicago. In reading the city directory we found a familiar name. Prof. Roy L. Metzler. After a little research work we found he was professor of Physics in Chicago University. Edna Weldy also taught here. She had become a great mathematician and was teaching geometry. She always was Mr. Schurr ' s most brilliant geometry student in high school, so we weren ' t surprised. From Mr. Metzler we learned the whereabouts of Byron Eslinger. He had of course married his boyhood sweetheart, Mabel Stickel. His work in vaudeville had made him rich and he and Mabel were now living in luxury in a fashionable part of Chicago. When we arrived at their house they seemed very glad to see us and were very enthusiastic over the banquet which they had already heard about. Mabel said she saw Marie quite often since she and Ralph had moved to Chicago. Ralph had become an athletic director and had a position there in Chicago. Mabel and Mr. and Mrs. Troxel would probably be there. Referring to the directory again we found an advertisement of a First Class Bakery of which Marie Bringolf was proprietor. Upon entering the store a lady stepped up and was about to greet us when Estella cried, Sure enough, it is Marie. After a little chat [Twenty-two] MADISONIAN we asked Marie why it was that she was still single. She then told us her sad story of the disappearance of her husband, six months after marriage: she had resumed her maiden name. We told her about the banquet and she promised to come. One day while window shopping in Chicago we recognized Elsie Blondia who was entering a Ladies ' Apparel Shop. After talking to us awhile she said she was to be married the next week. We thought that she surely couldn ' t come to our banquet then but she said if she could bring Mr. Weaver, her husband to be, along that they would come to Madison on their honeymoon. We agreed that that would be fine, so she said we ' d probably see them there. Elsie told us that Sophia Berger and Elsie Fox were to be her bridesmaids. We hadn ' t heard of or seen those girls for a long time so we asked her about them. She said Howard Hensler and Gerald Zeiger were still coming to see Sophia and Gerald had proposed many times but Sophia couldn ' t think of being without Howard. Elsie Fox was engaged to marry the man she was stenographer to. Elsie didn ' t remember his name. The evening for the banquet came. Estella and I, when we drove up in my roadster, were very surprised to see the crowd waiting for Estella ' s train. Five more minutes. This time was spent in chatting and introducing each other. Here it comes! Hello Helen, You are a wonder. Everyone talked so flowery to Estella but no one noticed her husband who walked sheepishly away. At last we were all assembled at the table. Some one called on Estella Shermier to give a toast. Schermier, shouted everyone? She had traveled under her maiden name. Then Fritz stood up with his head high in the air and said, Look me over. In order that we might become better acquainted, Mrs. Stokes (formerly Miss Larrick, our sponsor) introduced all present. Of those whom I had not mentioned Millicent Hall (now Kelley) was there. After the banquet she told Estella and I to come and visit her and Marvin some time. They lived on a very modern little farm quite a distance from anyone else and she said she enjoyed farming and fishing very much. Dorothy Schweisberger was also there. She had become a famous Home Economics teacher but before she had taught many years a rich young man from Philadelphia discovered and married her. Her home is in Philadelphia but she comes back to see Millicent and Marie quite often. Dorothy Hartman lived her usual quiet life and when she became of age started a small farm or plot and ran it on the intensive plan. Her chickens, eggs, flowers, and other prod- ucts were sought by everyone who knew of her. Esther Eslinger, now Mrs. Heckaman, cuter than ever, was the life of the banquet. She was a famous singer now and in response to our requests sang some of her selections to us. I believe that is all, except that I forgot to tell you what Estella and I are doing. Well! Most of the time we spend in leisure doing what we want to but when we get tired of that we write articles for the New York Times or for journals in any city where our husbands may have business. The class of ' 29 is proud of all its successful students.

Edna and Glenmore represented our school in Caesar, and Alden and Christine in Latin L During the first semester the Debating Club was organized with Miss Larrick as sponsor. The work has been of a very primary nature due to the newness of the work. It is the earnest wish of all that the club may be continued next year.

They have worked hard in collecting material for the Madisonian. Much credit is due to them for the success of the book, since it has been produced through their efforts. [Thirty-eight] The orchestra and band were organized .his year by Mr. Van Sickle, the county music in- structor. On Monday of each week he gave les- sons, the band practicing at noon, and the orches- tra practicing the eighth period. There was also a county band of which our band was a part. [Thirty-nine] MADISONIAN The chorus class has met twice a week this year and has made excellent progress. Since so many enrolled that have never had any definite work in music before it has been necessary to confine our efi-orts to two part songs. The chorus gave a Persian Operetta, In the Garden of the Shah on March 15th. It was a huge success artistically as well as financially and will long be remembered by all those taking part. Several members of the chorus assisted the grades in presenting a Christmas operetta, At Home with Santa Claus. About sixty children took part in this production. It was beautifully costumed and presented as a free Christmas program. The chorus also appeared on other programs such as the Corn Show and Baccalaureate and have always been very well received.

[Forty-one] MADISONIAN ASSISTED BY JUNIOR BOYS The Senior Minstrel was given in 1929. Since there were only two Senior boys, several Junior boys were asked to help. A mock wedding was performed.

[Forty-eight] [ F orty-nine] MADISONIAN Madison experienced a very successful basketball season this year, al- though we won only four out of sixteen games. A successful season does not depend on the number of games won, but the ability of the team and the strength of the opposing team. Tough luck was responsible for failure to win. Several games were lost by one point. However, the boys played fine games and in the county [Fifty-one] MADISONIAN tourney made a good showing, playing perhaps as well as any other team on the floor. Hard luck again eliminated them in the first game. Ray Schmeltz who was chosen captain of the team, made a very efficient guard and by scoring 100 points was high point man for the season. Pittman, making 86 points, was next high and did some fine playing. He was especially good at making free shots. With some training and prac- tice Marker and Walters should make good on the team next year. Only one player, Hirstein, will graduate, and although he has been a splendid guard his place can be filled by another of Coach Marburger ' s wonders. Hirstein ' s ready smile and never failing good humor will not be so easily supplied, for he has always shown himself a manly fellow and a real sport.

South Bend [Fifty-two] MADISONIAN The purpose of having a second team is probably to reach out to more than first string players and to enable more games to be put on the athletic program. Another service this team ' s playing has ren- dered is in the developing of some very fine players for next year ' s first team. Some very fine material has been uncovered and de- veloped. The second team has done some very good playing and has occa- sioned some very thrilling games. This team has won more games than last year ' s and is considerably better. About o ne-half of this year ' s games were won and those lost were lost by close scores. Ray Oberly in the position of captain proved himself a real leader as well as a good player. Bendit, Oberly and Shearer proved them- selves quite capable as substitutes on the first team. Besides making good first team players these boys should make a winning second team for next year. [Fifty-three] MADISONIAN Out of the eleven games of their schedule, the girls won two games, tied one and lost three by one point margins — a fairly successful season. The teams chose Edna Hesch for captain and she has filled the position very efficiently. She did much to encourage the girls and urge them to play together and not give up. Her playing was of the best and served as an inspiration to her team-mates many times. Margaret Murphy was elected manager and was always there with lemons and gum. The general trend of the team ' s playing was toward clean playing, cooperation and vic- tory. Since the team was composed mostly of inexperienced players and since only two will be lost through graduation we feel that next year should be a bright and prosperous one for them. Those who won honor letters were Edna Hesch, Ada Felton, Marcella Tolle, Wilma Felton, Anna Hillaert, Stella Felton, Estella Fredericks and Marjorie Null. Mrs. Sweigart obliged us by spending much of her time and energy in coaching the girls this year. She has done much to uphold the honor and spirit of our school and accomplished this to a great extent. She has never given up but has carried on to the end no matter what it might be. [Fifty-four] MADISONIAN The Baseball Team Madison ' s baseball program has been extended this year. The boys haven ' t had much practice or experience, but Mr. Marburger, being a first class coach and knowing much about the game, has done his best to produce a winning team. Since our school term is longer we have been able to schedule games for the spring as well as fall. Pittman and Schermier alternately serve as pitcher. Hirstein, the captain, serves as catcher with either Pittman or Schermier on first, Groves on second base and Schmeltz on third. Mowat, Weber and J. Horein play in the field and Troxel is short-stop. Dutoi, Bendit, J. Horein, and Winstead are substitutes.
