The carefree summer passedall too quickly, and withthe change of seasons another school year at Madison High School lies before us. This is destined to be a year considerably different from the others in many respects. First, we are one year older with more responsible roles and harder subjects. Second, new teachers .-- line for ‘59 | and administration will enter our ai on new schedules. _ — Through the year we face new : a problems, experiences, and op- portunities; wear the latest fads; oN hum the popular songs; attend school events; and promote new projects.

Various activities occupy the Madisonites sum- mer months. Part or full-time jobs claim many hours. Some are enrolled in 4-H projects that require much attention and involve work-packed last-minute finishing touches. Others just keep busy around the farm; this includes odd jobs with definite responsibilities. Highlighting summer evenings were Monday night P.T.A. sponsored softball games. Many turned out, if not to participate, to visit with friends. Representatives attended Indiana University and Merom Institute. They learned about the produc- tion of a yearbook, the functions of government, and the qualities of a good leader. The summers are filled with fun and carzfree hours, but for some persons it means roles of great duties. Summers are noteworthy at M.H.S. Marilyn Null and Janice Oster attended the two-week Yearbook High School Journalism Institute at Blooming- ton. There they were trained and learned much about the techniques required in preparing the '59 yearbook. Kenny Sailor skillfully grooms his prize-winning jersey heifer at the St. Joseph County 4-H Fair. Patty Beehler and Judy Martin attended Y-Teens' Confer- ence at Merom, Indiana, There they acquired helpful hints that became of use to their club, Larry Beehler was sent by the American Legion to Boys' State at Indiana University. The purpose of Boys' State is to acquaint the boys withthe mechanics of state government. Arthur Sisk spent three of the past summers attending Cul- ver Military Academy. He is proudly showing 'his'' horse to friends who came to visit the Academy. iverting changes take place A typical school day morning in the office consists of tea- absent asking Mr. Gurtner for passes. Some teachers find chers collecting their mail and students who have been it necessary, too, toplaceanearly morning telephone call. page 6 as administration revises old policies An early morning ride onthe bus commences a new school day for a Madisonite. A change of scenery was made possible for some as several busses were rerouted this year. Upon arrival, absentees stopinthe office for an admit to class issued by the new principal, Mr. Gurtner. At noon students rush tothe cafeteriaforatasty meal; some bring lunch from home. Either way it is hurry and eat because, for the first time this year, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the Hi-Fi is heard playing the latest top tunes, which encour- ages all to come and dance. Dismissal comes; all scurry to the lockers and leave with books and homework for a new day's lesson. Tuesdays and Thursdays the old gym becomes alive as many students join in doing their favorite steps to top records. A familiar sight is the boarding and unloading of students. A group of hungry seniors find places in the cafeteria to Thirteen busses pick up Madison pupils and nine seniors hurriedly eat their lunch before returning to afternoon from Penn. classes. changes take place in classrooms, too, Shirley Holmes and several members of the eighth grade in notes for future reference. Fun and gained knowledge cooperate inconducting ascience experiment. The finished make up this science class. product is placed for the other students to view and describe page 8 with new teachers, books, Students and teachers alike work in harmony to produce a liberal education from Madison's cours- es. Looking ahead into the future, a Madisonite can choose the course of study which will best fit his requirements. Science and mathematics, which are stressed throughout the country, are undertaken by a good number of students. The benefits to be gainedfrom these courses are innumerable. Boys find vocational agriculture and shop most helpful as they prepare farm projects. The addi- tion of new equipment has been beneficial to stu- dents during the year. Girls with plans to become secretaries and book- keepers prepare themselves in the Commercial Department. Many hours are spent in the betterment of edu- cation of Madison's youth. David Enders, an advanced math student, explains his proof of asolid geometric figure to fellow mathematicians. Dick Schmeltz, LeRoy Roeder, and Larry Pittman use the new shop saw to helpinshaping and designing their product. Shorthand students prepare themselves for future positions as stenographers and secretaries by taking dictation and learning up-to-date office methods. ROI ee quizzes, experiments, news topics Chuck Ulrich and John Marker check over their knowledge of elements on the new periodic chart. A group of fellow classmates experiment in weighing chemical components while Katherine Zeiger confirms their actions by checking with the textbook. The speech class watches intently and learns as Shirley Seese explains in detail her diagram ofa difficult sentence. In preparing for college, many senior schedules emphasize English, mathematics, and science. Seniors review such English fundamentals as: punctuation, sentence construction, and parts of speech in journalism and speech classes: Senior classmates learnto express ideas in composition, too. Inspeechclass, students find speaking orally different from written expression. They practice pronouncing words such as Rome and roll on and work up to giving informal talks. What's that awful odor? exclaim gasping stu- dents all over school. However, in the chemistry lab, juniors and seniors know the rotten-egg smell is that of burning sulfur. Madison's young scien- tists discover many new and strange items, such as using that confusing periodic chart in writing formulas and the magical power of slide rules in solving equations found on daily quizzes. By pro- viding these courses Madison hopes to send well- prepared seniors on to college. First-year Latin students are requiredto master conjugations, declensions, and grammar. A change this year gave freshmen permission to include Latin in their curriculum. The senior civics class had the privilege of vi- siting the state capital and seeing the legislature in action. This was made possible by Bendix Union, Local No. 9. All students keep up on cur- rent events and changes in the world by reading and discussing the weekly AMERICAN OBSERVER topics. Plans for a big dress revue, where the latest fashions are modeled, are made during the year by busy sewers in home economics. The class toured Coppes Kitchens factory in Nappanee and learned how the new modern-day kitchens are constructed, Whether it be the learning of an ancient language, the study of the functions of our government, or the transforming of material into a beautiful well- styled garment, Madisonites acquire useful know- ledge for the future. 7 H The new electric globe gives the civics class beneficial assistance in locating many places discussed in their topics. Junior and senior girls enrolled in home economics enjoy and gain much information from Donna and Janet's fashion bulletin board. Latin students put on their''thinking caps and desperately try to remember the verb conjugations for their weekly test. | | fresh outdoor beauty spices curriculum Assemblying new and revising old methods brings. about continuation of knowledge. Varied courses open many doors. Science classes are fascinating as wellas infor- mative. They involve panel discussions, scienti- fic experiments, and field trips. Students eagerly search for specimens to bring to class for study and for use on bulletin boards. The new 1959 drivers' training car is a real challenge to even the best of drivers. Everyone wants the chance to learn the fundamentals of driv- ing behind the wheel of that ''neat ' car. Yes, as you look at our school it is easy to see it's not all parties and sports, but a great deal of time spent in concentration and learning. The students of Madison like to learn and hope to be- come a well-educated generation. Leisure hours are truly scarce among the citizens of Madison. Mr. Steen takes advantage of a sunshiny day to take the freshman biology class onan educational and relaxing field trip. Karen Kintzel gets her turn at driving the new Ford drivers' training car. Mr. David su- pervises her operations. tsps: THAT ARS Little folks enjoy taking turns reading their WEEKLY READERS; these inform them of current and world affairs— fourth-grade style. Fifth graders share their hobbies, which add variety and an interesting touch to textbooks, with the members of their class. Rooms are kept cheery as the pupils help to decorate their own bulletin boards. These sixth graders compare new ideas. After the introductory three years are past, grade pupils are reasonably well acquainted with Madison. Classrooms for their next three years are located on the south side of the building. A feeling of superiority is gained as the pupils proud- ly change to their new rooms. Geography is a new subject for the fourth grad- ers. Each one is interested in locating new countries and learning about his own environment. Fifth graders enter new realms as they become junior band members and adopt various hobbies. Mastering the achievement of associating the 49 states and their capitals is a feat of the sixth grade. Already half of their formal education is ‘behind them. In these three years, the characteristics of a new generation are formed. small fries face important changes The first grade entails some of the most impor- tant changes in childhood. For some it involves learning to share with others, andforallit brings about learning to get acquainted and making new friends. The first day of school holds in store 12 of ‘the most rewarding years to come in an indi- vidual's life. Second graders plunge intothe studious tasks of learning toreadandwrite. Flashcards strengthen vocabularies and quicken minds. As pupils advance tothe third grade, word mean- ings and mathematics rank high on the scale of learning. Teachers are influential in guiding these young folks through their tender years and assisting them to render important decisions. These pri- mary decisions are the foundation of many others that are to follow in future years. Recognizing and learning to spell the various colors are all in a day's work for the busy first graders.

Intertwining with the usual school-day routine, holiday and birthday parties provide a change. All grade students happily await the end-of-the- month birthday parties. These are under the di- rection of room mothers who plan games and pre- pare light refreshments. This year at Christmas time, the elementary grades presented a Christmas program for the P.T.A. They sang songs and the older children presented a play. In the spring,a picnic in the woods and a short fieldtrip, suchas avisit to the airport or a short- distancetrainride, bring happiness to the young- sters. Various activities make school days more pleasant. The grade children enjoyed rehearsing and preparing their program given for the entertainment of parents and teachers. We had fun from the tops of our crew cuts and trapeze-look hair cuts to the tips of our cordovans and cuff boots. We haveastrange, undefinable lingo all our own that for some unknown reason seems to baffle our | elders. We sport unusual dance steps, unfamiliar to most, such as the stroll and ''rocka-conga. Our ideas of fun may seem improbable, but Madi- sonites are far fromthe lost generation as some wish to express it. We learn much from these | experienc es, and we wouldn't be normal minus 1 our fads and fancies. Fads are prevalent in girls' and boys' dress. The chemise | blouses and Perry Como shirts are worn very frequently. With each new school year comes the latest fads and fash- ions. This year brings a wide variety in shoe styles. The senior boys seek to bring back haunts of the''good old days with their blossoming out of loud suspenders. Interspersing with lessons are various festive affairs. October initiated the Halloween Dance with its traditional orange and black, complete with wit ches and pumpkins. Winter brought Frosty Fantasy. Decorations in soft pastel colors and Christmas trees provided the yule- tide spirit. Withspring, grandeur of the Junior- Senior Prom filled the air. Thegym was trans- formed into an inviting Candyland, where lollipops and sugar plums prevailed. At these events many happy couples shared everlasting memories. The sock hops after ball games and pizza parties also gave us an additional sparkle, Fun and frolic is truly plentiful at M.H.S. Donna Hensler reigns as Candyland's Queen of the Prom. She was selected by her class members for this royal position. Janet Stahly is the fairy and Joey Beer is the prince. if | ig ay ba 3 : b ve | b : ' ey | | | The sophomores sponsored a Halloween Dance.

It comes naturally. Of course, before the perfection stage is reach- ed, hours of practice and perseverance must pave the way. Then the reflection of what is learned in class shines through; and all the addi- tional homework, which at one time looked use- less, casts an admirable glow on the finished produc t—honor and success. Citizenship awards, state plaques, newly set records, and gold medals are just a beginning of the achievements proclaimed by Madison High. Nine band members won five or more medals during their band years: Kathryn Felton, Joan Suter, Janet Van De Keere, Patty Beehler, Barbara Schrader, Charles Selner, Judy Stiver, Janice Oster, and Donna Hensler. These lucky girls proved their outstanding sewing abilit y by winning distinction in individual groups of the dress revue.

Representatives are chosen to typify the various clubs and also the student body as a whole. These people bring back the knowledge they acquire at meet- ings to benefit all the students concerned. Assembly programs, featuring engaging entertain- ers with a multitude of interesting exploits, are ar- ranged and enjoyed by the students and faculty alike. Serving others is a goal for which all Madisonites strive. Don't shoot! ' This is j ust one of the various assembly programs sponsored by the Hi-Y throughout the year. Colonel Larsen passes some of his sharpshooting know- ledge on to an interested Madisonite. Friends, relatives, and many others compose a big part of the success achieved by class projects— such as plays, scrap drives, and suppers. The money earned in these campaigns is deposited in the class treasury for the financing of the much- looked-forward-to senior class trip. Students use their abilities in various ways. Keeping the rooms in a seasonal atmosphere with attractive bulletin boards and window designs is an enjoyable task. Also projects, dances, and programs are outlets for the many talents of stu- dents. Students andsponsors plan carefully every event held throughout the year. These events feat par- ents, teachers, and students. new jitters with Sharon and Chuck check and double-check play tickets so as not to have someone sitting on another person's lap.

Students learn cooperation and attain many hours of pleasure as they combine their talents on numerous occasions. Band members put forth their best efforts and together produce effective music and superior performances. The cheerleaders gain harmony by skillfully leading and uniting the voices of the cheering section into mass accord at games and tourneys. By banding together the juniors can- vas house to house and learn the art of sales- manship as they conduct their annual magazine sale. Committees have fun, too, as the groups toilfor what sometimes seems like endless hours, preparing precise plans and watching them being carried out. Madisonites learn muchthrough mutual actions and group activities. oa Judy Martin explains the great variety of favorite maga- zines juniors have to sell to her English teacher, Mrs. Bowman.

ET . es ... enjoy many activities Some new sponsors, new members, | and many old timers spent numerous de- | lightful hours in extra-curricular activi- ties. W hatever their interest—art, drama, or music—students had opportunities to display their talents. The results were seen in projects, productions, and publi- | cations which brought satisfaction to par- | ticipants and pleasure to friends and , | parents. Through their many activities students learned to assume additional responsi- bilities as citizens of the community. changes portrayed by MADISONIAN Work for the MADISONIAN is crammed into the staff's busy schedule, and every available min- | ute is used for transforming the happenings of the year into an interesting picture story. To help finance the yearbook the staff spon- sored a bake sale in December, a St. Patrick's Day Dance, and an Autograph Hop on May 15, which climaxed the hard work of the Staff. In October a skit, Posie Poke Slow, was pre- sented to encourage students to buy the memory- filled MADISONIAN. Mrs. Arlene David, a new member of the fa- culty, tooktime from her busy schedule to assist the staff with their many problems.

But these are only a few of the tasks that are performed before the paper is ready to hit the stands.'' There are always the never- ending jobs of correcting, proofreading, and stapling for distribution. The paper is prepared in journalism class where the students learn the importance of good news stories and the correct use of punctuation and grammar. These things are put to use as the staff members attempt to keep the students up to date with the news. Gloria Fredericks was editor of the SPOTLIGHT this year and Mrs. David was the sponsor.

The group met two days each week for the purpose of learning how to: read music and ap- preciate its value, present a public performance, and simply enjoy music together, They appeared before students and faculty at Christmas and Easter programs and also sang at the Baccalaureate services. Among the special groups which entertained the student body and the public were a girls' sextet and a boys' quartet. The sextet was made up of fresh- men girls, including Shirley Yoder, Sandra Nicholas, Karen Laidig, Karen Horvath, Joyce Saunders and Jo Ann Jordan. Hummel, BACK ROW: Stiver, Engelhardt. Blue, J.

This past year they presented con- certs, marched at home games, played before curtain time at class plays, marched inthe Memorial Day Parade in Mishawaka, and parti- cipated in the Purdue Band Day atthe university. They also gave two concerts, one in the fall and one in the spring. The pep band, too, willingly provided between- game entertainment at basketball games and added enthusiasm to afternoon pep sessions.

From the beginning of the year until the end, the Y-Teens strive to meet their goal which is to grow as a person, to grow in friendship, and to grow in the knowledge and love of God. The Y-Teens were aided in the projects and events by their willing and capable sponsor, Mrs. Bowman. For fun the girls entertained at the annual Father-Daughter Party and Mothers' Tea. They also joined with Hi-Y in Christmas caroling, co- sponsored the Christmas Dance, and participated in events at the Y.W.C.A. The girls added to their treasury by selling candy, greeting cards, and wrapping paper and by sponsoring skating parties, and selling con- cessions at home-basketball games.

On April 10 and 11, 1958, the junior class nervous- ly presented their first play under the direction of Mrs. Pearl Haslanger. The plot revolved around April Richards, an English teacher, and Tom Young, theten o'clock scholar, who after being gone for several years returned to find he still loved April, his high school sweetheart. But things became complicated since April was already engaged to Stewart Plopper. A bit of extra humor was added when Tom decided to invent a fluorescent yo yo and by the comical sit- uations which Chuck Young and his girlfriend, Carey, managed to get into. The scene of the Turnabout Dance and the girls’ Slumber party also brought about riotous conditions and added to the endless amusement throughout the play. patients cut Passersby peer at the scene while Cordelia, Mr. Puckett's from the pretty nurses.

Crabby Mr. Dodson and mischievous Mr. Puckett, hospital roommates, kept things in a continuous up- roar with their intentional stubborness and witty pranks. Dodie, the undergraduate nurse who stole the show with her awkward style and obvious mistakes, pre- vented the play from containing a single dull moment; and funny Dovie Finkledink brought about additional laughter as she tried to get wealthy Mr. Dodson to notice her. Anxiety rose high when frightening Hoofendyke es- caped and attempted to murder one of the patients. One laughable situation followed another in the fast- moving farce.

Symbols, which are used inthe Opening ceremony of the club meetings, were purchased this year. The Symbols represent the club offices and the duties which the officers carry out. In October the club members took a day off from school and visited the Farm Progress Show in Brook- ston, Indiana. A few of the members braved the stormy weather in November to attend the Interna- tional Livestock Show in Chicago.

It is with gratitude that we remember Mr. Ralph Hummel, our retiring trustee, for the many kind services he has shown us in the past. Mr. Beehler has always been a resident of Madison Township. His home is located about one-fourth mile from the school, and his two sons attend Madison. With this background he fills his position, having an understanding of the people and their problems. Heandthe advisory board strive to do their best for the community. Mr. Ralph Hummel turns over responsibilities of trus- tee to Mr. Clayton Beehler and wishes him success. Messrs. Theodore Beehler, John Derksen, and Lloyd Geyer join Claytor.

From this state- ment we can understand the keen interest he takes in our education, and the sound advice he gives to improve our curriculum. Throughout the year one of Mr. Gurtner's main objectives was to become acquainted with his new student body. In doing so he has gained the respect of everyone with his helpful manner. Mr. Guilford Gurtner, our new principal, is always ready toserve students, faculty, andparents in any way he can.

Madison's faculty consists of 13 women and 9 men. These 22 members act as awhole. Re- specting each others opinions, helping one an- other, andteaching together, they are the backbone of our school. Different activities occupy this faculty's spare moments. Hobbies of music, building, art, fishing, cooking, and reading prevail among them. They find time to attend school activities —chaperoning student dances, selling tickets, and sponsoring clubs. Our teachers consider their vocationa pleasant one. They not only teach us subject matter, but they also teach us how to act as young adults. Knowing that they have contributedtoa student's character as well as his knowledge, gives them a feeling of pride. Student-teacher relationships are very close. This closeness is due tothe cooperation of both the student and teacher. Yes, we are lucky to have afaculty who we know has our best interests at heart.
