Group pictures of each class were also taken. Everywhere activities and plans were buzz- ing. ‘The Y-Teens scheduled a weekend of good fun at Lake Webster. Fans stayed after school to cheer for the baseball team. On October 1, basketball players began practicing drills on plays and shooting baskets. GAA sponsored an evening of roller skating at Bock’s for skating enthusiasts. Madison’s Band members joined in with bands from other schools to perform for Purdue Band Day. Classes and organizations held parties and initiations of all kinds. Members of the senior play cast kept the midnight oil burning to memorize their lines in the class play. “LET’S KEEP PROM PLANS MUM,” whispers Prom Chairman Judy Huston to Ronnie Holmes and Sharon Grise as they discuss the big event. MAGAZINE SALES helped to augment the Junior Class treasury. Top salesmen were Irene Walters (third-place winner), Charlene VanDeKeere (first-place), Jane White- head (fourth-place), and Jim Beehler (second-place). Page five Professor's three fiancees create chaos VICKY RANDOLPH (I. Gilmer) pleads for Pro- fessor Keats’ (K. McCormack) forgiveness due to her unruly classroom conduct. Grandpa Perry (D. Pittman) expresses doubt as to her sincerity. “SHE’S FAINTED!” exclaim the onlookers as Bog- gins (J. Schrader) and Butcher Boy (D. Weaver) carry Tootsie (D. Weigel) from the room. Oniockers are S. Klein, §. Weldy, S. Yoder, and D. Pittman. On April 21 and 22, 1961, the Class of ’62 presented “Professor, How Could You!” The plot revolves around Professor Keats Perry and a student of his, Vicky Randolph. Keats is offered the job of being the new Dean of the college, but a requirement is that he be married. Vicky Randolph and John Appleby, a friend of Keats, plan how they might find Keats a wife. They find three candidates for Keats—Priscilla, Tootsie, and Valarie. Grandpa Perry has his own ideas about selecting a wife for his grandson. Grandpa, pretending he is Keats, phones each girl and asks her to elope with him. The girls show up at the same place and find out Keats does not want to marry any of them. At the end, Priscilla marries John; Tootsie marries Boggins, the Perrys’ butler; and Val- arie marries a college fellow. Keats, too, finally makes a choice and marries Vicky. JOHN APPLEBY, posing as Keats’ wife, bribes four youngsters to act as Keats’ children. Shown are D. Schmeltz, B. Butge, K. McCormack, D. Hor- ein, R. Ewing, D. Hunsberger, and (rear) D. Weaver. 7 Young genius proves to be a perfect idiot “The Perfect Idiot,” a farce in three acts, was presented by the Senior Class in October. Dan ‘Tennyson, a high school senior, de- cides he wants to go to college. His parents don’t approve because he isn’t a social success. Puff, a star athlete, who is failing his exams, wants Dan to tutor him. Dan agrees to help Puff, but instead of tutoring him he invents a machine which he uses to hypnotize Puff so that he will pass. Dan then joins every possible social func- tion so that he can go to college. But when | he meets Linda and learns she doesn’t have college plans, he deliberately fails his en- | trance exams. However, a pyschiatrist de- | clares that Dan is a genius to have missed | all the answers. | In the end, everything turns out fine. Dan and Linda both decide to enter college.

Following the dinner, a Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus were announced by the sponsors. Other features of the evening in- cluded vocal numbers by the triple trio and boys’ quartet, the drawing for a door prize, and the Christian film, “Seventeen.” Other winter activities of the Hi-Y and Y-Teens included decorating the school Christmas tree and caroling for the sick and aged in the community. Last spring, this year’s seniors honored the class of ’61 with the prom “‘Shangrila.” The gymnasium was transformed into an oriental setting which took many hours of planning and decorating. After the grand march and the welcoming speech of the Junior Class president, the king and queen were crowned by the retiring queen, Irene Geyer. A new custom was started by selecting a king as well as a queen to reign at the prom. JOHN HENSLER AND IRMA GILMER were chosen to reign as prom king and queen.

Pupils work hard to be tops in extra- curricular activities. In the summer and during the school year, pupils attend con- ferences and conventions to broaden their education and increase their knowledge. During the summer, the editor and head copywriter of the MADISONIAN attended Journalism Institute at Indiana University. There they acquired information concerning the publication of a yearbook. Also at Indiana University, Boys’ and Girls’ State represent- atives assembled to learn the functions of our State government. Meanwhile, Oakwood Park, Syracuse, Indiana, was the scene of the Y-Teens’ Conference where the girls studied the qualities necessary for leadership. In the fall, GAA Camp at Delphi, Indiana, was attended by two Madison girls where they were trained for their duties as officers. At the same time, Junior Tuberculosis League representatives started attending monthly meetings in South Bend where they were urged to promote better health conditions. T. B. LEAGUE representatives Ruth Ann Schweis- berger and Don Hunsberger prepare to leave for a monthly meeting held in South Bend. GIRLS’ STATE AND BOYS’ STATE representa- tives Ruth Fassnacht and John Hensler discuss government processes they learned last summer. KAREN LAIDIG AND SHIRLEY YODER pause for a rest during the I. U. High School Journalism Institute to discuss the morning’s session. Page eleven T. MANGES AND E. MIKEL patiently wait their turn in the bockstore during the noon hour as Mrs. Beehler waits on P. Verheye. “SPRING CLEANING even applies to lockers,” ex- plains Kay Hayden to Jim Schrader, who gallantly assists her with her task. Vaccinations + cleanliness = good health Paye twelve During the noon hour, the bookstore proves to be a very busy place. Students are constantly buying such items as paper, pen- cils, erasers, ink, and rulers. Conscientious students want to be sure they will have the proper supplies for each class. ‘Though that long needle may scare some people, most know that the little bit of pain won't last long. Students and their parents realize a shot in the arm is better than taking the chance of getting some sickness and per- haps staying in bed for some time. ‘To pro- tect against the “germ bug,’’ unwanted by everyone, vaccinations are offered each year at Madison and are given by an area doctor. Should you happen to see a student with a wastepaper basket at his locker don’t be- come alarmed. He’s not leaving school; he’s just cleaning his locker so he will be able to find the right book for his next class. “OH, NO, I CAN’T BEAR IT,” gasps Susie Roeder as she receives her tuberculosis skin test. These tests were given on October 3. OVERCOME with curiosity, fifth graders D. Nich- olas, T. Pogue, D. Gerber, and C. Flory investigate Mrs. Bellman’s 100-year-old grind organ. Youth devote time to “Right foot on the brake! Shift into drive!” aremtnescries uttered by Mr, David@as. he instructs his pupils to drive. Prospective drivers learn to properly handle a car before applying for drivers’ licenses. Activities in drivers’ training include studying motor parts and taking skill tests. In the winter the girls’ gym class limbers up with calisthenics and tumbles on mats besides playing basketball, volleyball, bad- mitton, and deck tennis. Running track and practicing baseball and softball keep the boys engrossed in the spring during physical education classes. Music is taught to the first eight grades. They learn the fundamentals of singing and music appreciation. Grades one to three sing musical games and play rhythm instruments. The other grades give talent programs, and they also learn to sing in two- and _three- part harmony. “Windows of Christmas” was an operetta performed by the pupils in grades one through six on December 14.

SECRETARIAL TRAINING pupils learn to operate adding, calculating, and transcribing machines. Ken McCormack is shown using a calculator. Page fourteen Teens prepare for “GUESS HE’S RIGHT,” muses Jackie Duarte in business law class as John Hensler proves his argu- ment from the material in his workbook. REMEMBERING the basic bookkeeping equation, Assets = Liabilities + Proprietorship, J. Duarte, S. Nicholas, and V. Engelhardt do an assignment. commercial and vocational careers Commercial courses at Madison train future office workers. Those taking general business learn to write checks and prepare bank statements. Business law is concerned with the rules that apply to business situations and transactions. Using good filing proce- dures, operating office machines, and typing business letters are some activities in secre- tarial training class. In bookkeeping, pupils learn to accurately and neatly keep records. Home economics students design the latest styles of clothing. Not only do they make their garments, but they also model them in the annual spring dress revue. Girls also get experience in cooking and in managing bud- gets for the home. Prospective farmers prepare for their occupation by taking agricultural courses. Soil samples are taken, tractors are repaired, and cattle are studied by these farm boys. ae MEASURING THE SCOPE of the land outside the school building are agricultural students D. Weldy, B. Troxel, T. Manges, and (kneeling) G. Oswalt.

Mrs. Kintzel is the home economics teacher. Page fifteen English, Latin, and math prepare LATIN proves to be more interesting when Judy Sherk and Paul VanDeKeere point out to the class the location of the heart of Rome on the map. IN SENIOR ENGLISH class, George Smith capti- vates his audience’s attention by giving an interest- ing book report about the life of Lord Jim. SOPHOMORES don. their thinking caps when reading their PRACTICAL ENG- LISH magazines. Page sixteen high school students for college life What would we do without our oral means of communication? We certainly wouldn't be able to communicate as effectively with others. At Madison, students try to improve their speech by studying English, Latin, and speech. English classes help the student to improve upon both his written and oral means of communication. Speech specializes in teach- ing the student how to make a speech before a group. Training obtained from speech will help the student prepare himself for any _ speech he may have to make for any occasion. Many people think that Latin only pertains to old ruins and such like. However, derived _ from Latin are the bases of many languages, including our own. Students who are planning to enter college ___ usually try to work algebra, advanced algebra, and geometry into their curriculum. These _ subjects seem to be the stepping stones for USING A PANTOGRAPH, Janet Hunsberger and = the students ta higher learning in college.

Marker. abreast of current Generally, the course of least resistence is the easiest to follow. But at Madison pupils do not follow the path of the easiest subjects. They plunge into science and social studies courses so that they may become _ better informed of the world about them. Science students study the unpredictable weather and how the earth is constantly being redesigned by nature. Plant and animal life is studied more extensively by the bio- logy students. Atomic structure, calories, power, and theories of matter are some of the topics of concern to the physics class. With the world situation being what it is today, it is imperative that Americans under- stand and appreciate our democratic form of government. People in other countries are depending upon us for help and guidance. At Madison, students learn first about the background of their State and nation by studying Indiana history and United States history. Then when they are seniors, they take up civics which deals with our own type of government as well as others.

Reports and debates are taken from these magazines and presented to the class. Shown are S. Grise, T. Manges, K. Hayden, and R. Holmes. Page nineteen Young scholars start to climb the steps Madison’s young citizens are actively pre- paring for their high school years. ‘They learn the fundamental three “‘r’s’” — reading, ‘riting, and ’rithmetic. English, geography, history, and science also rank high in their curriculum so that they will have a_ basic knowledge of these subjects in high school. Early in their school life, these young pupils learn to share and play with others. They also make many new friendships which will last their full twelve years of school. Many visual aids are used in teaching. Flash cards strengthen vocabulary and quick- en the mind. Movies create interest in life at home and abroad. Subject specimens are brought to school for observation and study. Grade teachers have an important task to perform. They are the ones who guide Madi- son’s young citizens, helping them to become intelligent and mature. SIXTH GRADERS L. Pogue, E. Coffel, K. Rader, and Becky and Brenda Stevens seek to gain know- ledge by reading current publications. HOBBIES are fun for fifth graders as evidenced by L. Rotge, J. Gilmer, N. Huns- berger, and B. Boocher. PRACTICING on their fluto- phones for music class are C. Newcomer, W. Duncan, J. Baker, and B. Letherman. of formal learning SHARING THEIR PETS with their classmates are third graders C. Hostetler, S. Dunkleberger, P. Watkins, and H. Gerber. “WHAT TIME IS IT NOW?” K. Schmeltz asks her second-grade schoolmates K. Sherk, R. Stuber, D. Boocher, D. Moore, and E. Berger. FIRST GRADERS learn the first step in arithmetic, learning to count. These pupils practice by arrang- ing the numbers in order. Page twenty-one Featuring... Activities were an important part of your school life. By participating in club and after- school activities, you had fun and learned to work together. You dug up new ideas for club programs. During the year you had a chance to vote for your favorite teens to be the kings and queens for several special events, raise money for charity drives, and dance your favorite step at the hops. After practicing many hours for contests and con- certs, you performed your best for judges and friends. These, your school activities, are FEATURING YOU IN ’62. Your Activities Page twenty-three Crowning of Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus Affiliated with the Y.W.C.A., the Y-Teens endeavor to grow in the knowledge and love of God and in friendship with their fellow men. Through many projects, the Y-Teens strive to promote high standards of character in the home, school, and community. Starting the year with enthusiasm, the Y-Teens spent an eventful weekend at Lake Webster. In the fall the officers attended the Y-Teen Officers’ Training in South Bend to help them become better acquainted with the duties and functions of their offices. Every month two members attended Inter- Club Council at the Y.W.C.A. to get new ideas and plan county-wide Y-Teen functions. Meeting on the second Thursday evening of each month, the girls worked on service projects during the meetings. Money-making projects included the sales of wrapping paper, candy, and potato chips.

The boys strive to acquire clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarships, and clean living. ‘The club meets every other Wednesday during activities per- iod to plan their projects and discuss their business. At each of the meetings the club has a discussion program based upon youth. As a main source of income, the Hi-Y sells pop at the home basketball games. During the basketball season, the club sponsors fan busses to games at other schools. The Thanks- giving convocation was planned by the H1-Y, and in December they helped the Y-Teens with the Christmas program. The Mayfair Restaurant in Mishawaka was the scene of the Hi-Y-Teen Christmasette, a Christmas banquet and party. In addition to the coronation of Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus, another highlight of the program was the Christian film, “Seventeen.” HI-Y—Front Row: Mr. Bridges (sponsor), Huns- berger, (chaplain), Schmidt (treasurer), Hensler (president), McCormack (vice-president), Dunkle- berger (secretary), Holmes, Schmeltz, Peterson, VanDeKeere.

To encourage girls to consider education and training beyond high school is the pur- pose of the FNC. Nursing is not stressed any more than any of the other allied fields of medicine. With 21 girls enrolled in the club this year, the total membership has in- creased 150% over last year’s. The club met during class time, once a month or less. They also met when speakers were available. Announcing a “thought for the day” every Friday during November over the PA was one of the many projects of the FNC. The girls also made posters to remind the students of the good manners thought for the day. Other projects included making tray favors for a hospital, giving magazines to Healthwin patients, making stuffed toys for the Chil- dren’s Hospital, and sponsoring the Cancer Drive. The club also sponsored money-making projects to finance the Dress Revue in May. In the spring the girls attended a tea and a tour of Memorial Hospital.

FFA chapter in existence for 33 years Learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, and living to serve is the motto by which the Future Farmers of America set their standards. The principal aim of the club is to develop rural leadership and co-operation, Every member has an investment in some pro- ductive project. The Madison FFA chapter, which was chartered in 1929, was the sixth chapter to receive a charter in the State of Indiana. It is the only intra-curricular activ- ity organized and operating on a year-round program of work in the school system. In the fall the entire chapter attended the International Livestock Show in Chicago. Four of the top seniors were awarded a trip to the National Convention at Kansas City, Missouri. In land judging, they received second in the county contest and eighth in the district contest. Their money-making projects included the slave, seed, and FARMERS EXCHANGE sales. The money received helped sponsor the Father-and-Son Banquet and 4-H club awards program. FFA—Front Row: tHorein, Birk, H. Weldy, Klein, Reum, Moore, Grove, P.

Thinking caps were donned as MADISON- IAN staff members sought for fresh, new ideas for captions, copy blocks, and headlines. They worked hard during the first class per- iod every day to make this annual another All-American. During a four-month period, individual, organization, and sports pictures were taken to portray school activities into a captivating picture story. In November the staff launched the MADISONIAN subscription sales campaign. The staff wound up the year by sponsoring the Autograph Hop in May at which the stu- dents received their yearbooks. Reporters of the SPOTLIGHT staff scurry to meet deadlines for the bi-weekly news- paper. The staff, which meets daily, prepares dummy sheets for a preview of the newspaper, then stencils are typed and placed on the mimeograph to produce the finished copy. Last year’s SPOTLIGHT staff won an excellence award from the Student Press for news coverage and a certificate of honor from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association for a story on tuberculosis. KENNY McCORMACK checks for errors while Sue Klein draws headlines for the SPOTLIGHT with the help of the editor, Jo Anne Jordan. The journalism class publishes the paper.

Page thirty Increasing more than 100 per cent over last year’s enrollment, the Librarians’ Club had a membership of 21 girls and 9 boys. Every other Friday during activities period, the club met to discuss their business and to learn library procedure. One of the club’s activities was a Christmas party for the mem- bers only. Duties of the student librarians included keeping the books in order on the shelves, stamping books, and filing cards neatly. Worn books were repaired, and new books were covered with plastic. Students were assisted by the librarians in finding information for book reports. To depict the current season or holiday, the bulletin board was kept attractively decorated. Last summer two of the members attended the Librarians’ Convention, which was held at Indiana University. Many helpful hints and instructions were taught them to make a better and more efficient club.

MADison Scientists adopt club motto Stimulating science interests in the stu- dents is the purpose of the Science Club. During activities period on Fridays, the mem- bers met to increase their knowledge of the skills in science and to discuss the importance of science in their daily lives. “MADison Scientists” was selected for their club name and “Members Today, Scientists Tomorrow” as their motto. Their colors are lavender and silver. In the spring, the young scientists spon- sored the Madison Science Fair for elemen- tary and high school students. Some of them then participated in the Goshen Science Fair. Several science films were shown to the club during the year to help them better under- stand some of the phenomena of science. This year marked the third year of exist- ence of the Madison Science Club. ‘Twenty- eight members comprised the club which was much smaller than last year’s. SCIENCE CLUB members R. Laidig, B.

Band gives them a broader educational outlook in the classical and artistic values of life as well as develops the ability to concentrate and co-operate with others. During the first class period, band members strive for perfection while practicing for various parades, concerts, and contests. Practicing many hours for the solo and ensemble contest resulted in 42 superior and 57 excellent ratings. Also in the I.M.E.A. Contest at Indianapolis, 18 superior ratings were given to various members of the Madi- son High School Band. Experience in following the director’s baton is one of the means by which the junior band prepares to advance to the high school band. During the year the junior band played for the Band Boosters’ meetings and also participated in the Spring Concert. A number of junior band members entered the N.I.S.B.O.V.A. Solo Contest and received 13 superior and 3 excellent ratings. PARTICIPATING in an contest instrumental requires many hours of practice. Pat Stevens and Joyce Sheets work to strive for perfection.

Under the direction of Miss Cassells, the mixed chorus, girls’ chorus, and junior high chorus have spent many hours practicing for various events. Chorus provided the oppor- tunity to learn how to read and appreciate good music, present public performances, and simply enjoy music together. In the spring and fall, the mixed chorus performed at the concerts and also sang for the Christmas program. They met to practice every Monday and Thursday during activi- ties perfod.

Striv- ing to make the best better, the members met every week during June, July, and August under the direction of the leaders, Mrs. Helen Marker and Mrs. Virginia Beehler. After the projects were completed at the end of July, the township judging of 4-H entries took place followed by the dress revue and annual ice cream social. Girls’ 4-H did their share in bringing honors to Madison. Four girls were awarded county championships and five were county division champions. In addition, several out- standing projects were sent to the State Fair. Twelve girls were chosen to model their striking outfits in the county dress revue. Starting their activities in March, the Boys’ 4-H Club was caught up in a busy whirl of events and projects which was climaxed with the County Fair in August. The 130 members held six evening meetings during the summer supervised by Mr. Norman Ehresman. The members worked to win and learned through active experience, lead- ership, and production of farm commodities. During the summer a multi-project tour for all members was sponsored. ‘They went to some of the members’ homes to see how various projects were progressing. To mark the end of another successful summer, the club had a watermelon feast. Boys’ 4-H captured many top honors at the fair. Madisonites won ten championships in the swine division, four in the beef divi- sion, and seven in several other divisions.

In the overtime with Jefferson, the Panthers scored only two baskets to Jefferson’s three. The double overtime with Lakeville was a thriller which the Trojans captured by a slim two points. After losing an earlier game to Wakarusa, the Panthers came back on February 6 to crush this rival 69-56. However, the tables were turned when North Liberty defeated them in the Sectional Tourney by three points after Madison dealt them a 65-54 blow only a week before. The most-remembered game, a victory ol 91-55 over Greene Twp., set a new record in the gym. Holmes made 37 points and Greene’s Edison, the county’s top scorer, was held to 13 points. Holmes placed second among the county’s top scorers with an average of 20.35 points per game. Next in line, Weaver and Pogue earned 10.7 and 9.3 points, respectively.

Lee Zechiel’s 16-point performance enabled the Frosh to defeat Lakeville in the semi-final game. Madison then _ coasted through the final game with North Liberty. Madison’s Junior High teams, composed of the 7th and 8th grades, claimed 12 victo- ries out of 24 games, each team winning 6. Both grades combined to form the junior high tourney team. Madison drew and de- feated Warren in the first game. In the sec- ond game Madison was defeated by Centre. However, in the consolation game, they sprang back to defeat Walkerton.

BASEBALL RECORD Lakeville (Spring) North Liberty Greene Washington Clay Lakeville (Summer) Washington Clay Bourbon . Greene (Fall) Baseball at Madison is a spring, summer, and fall activity. Last year Mr. David coached baseball during the spring and fall, and Mr. Wood coached during the summer. Spring baseball proved to be a rewarding season with three wins and a single loss. The Diamondmen looked as if they were going to have a good summer season, too, when they trounced Lakeville in their first game. But after the summer opener, they couldn’t get back on the winning side and dropped the rest of the games. In the fall the team played two games, dropping both, although the game with La- paz was an exciting one. Lapaz was out in front during the first three innings. Madison, getting a hot streak, finally managed to tie the game in the sixth inning only to lose it in the seventh by two runs.

Page forty-six Madison’s 1961 track team holds a good record of four wins, one tie, and one loss, keeping up our good name from past years. The 1962 track team will be without four seniors who helped the team greatiy. At the Mishawaka County Track Meet on May 2, Jerry Beehler broke two county rec- ords, one being the second oldest set at the county track meet in 1933 by Julius Blondia of Madison. Beehler ran the 100-yd. dash in a flashing time of 10.2 seconds. The other record broken was the 220-yd. dash which Jerry bettered by one-tenth of a second, set- ting the new record at 23 seconds. Madison won fourth place at this county track meet. At the LaPorte County meet Jim Woods, Jerry Beehler, Itom Pogue, and Danny Mes- tach placed second in the 880 relay. The closest and most exciting meet was on May 4 against Lapaz when the final scores of both schools tied at 5414 points. This put an end to their winning streak for they lost the last meet to New Carlisle. EYES ON THE TRACK, J. Pogue, Beehler, T.

After this event the freshmen worked hard for the points needed before they could be accepted in the club. On November 10 initiation was held, and the freshmen were accepted as members. Throughout the year the girls met on Mon- day after school to participate in such organ- ized activities as softball, volleyball, basket- ball, and bowling. Softball, basketball, and volleyball games were scheduled with other GAA clubs, and all but the volleyball games were competitive. On March 17 the GAA held a playday, the first ever to be held at Madison. Twelve schools were invited. The girls were divided into groups, each group being based on a particular sport. These were rotated so that everyone could participate in each sport. Striving to win awards, the girls earned points for participating in organized sports, for unorganized activities outside of the club, and for passing tests on the various sports. Awards were given at the GAA Banquet in May to those girls who earned sufficient points. To pay for these awards, the GAA sold candy and ice cream at basketball games and sponsored a skating party and square dance. Junior high girls were given the opportu- nity to learn more sports’ skills through par- ticipation in Junior GAA. When possible they met twice a month to use the skills and knowledge learned in their physical educa- tion classes. Although this club did not pro- vide interschool competition in sports, the girls became better prepared to enter the Senior GAA.

Mr. Marker, who passed away on January — ——_ =O | 26, 1962, was a coach at Madison for 28 of his 32 years as a coach. He was often | called the “Dean of St. Joseph County | Basketball” because he had coached longer than any other coach in the county and was the oldest coach in the county. While he was coach at Madison, Mr. Marker led the Panthers to seven county champion- ships. They were also runners-up in the county tourney three times and runners-up in the sectional tourney twice. He never missed attending a state tourney in all of his years of coaching. In 1959, Mr. Marker retired from coach- | ing basketball. However, he continued on at Madison teaching his classes in general business, health, physical education, and junior high arithmetic, and science.

SENIOR CLASS SPONSORS, Mr. Birk and Mrs. Beehler, seem to be pleased with the Christmas gifts they received from the Senior Class. Page fifty-six As the seniors received their diplomas on Commencement night, they were happy yet sad. This night meant the end of 12 years of struggling with assignments, cramming for tests, and sharing joys and sorrows with their classmates. From early in the fall until late in the spring, the seniors’ schedules were exhaust- ing. Class parties, ball games, play rehearsals and other outside activities, and jobs, too, took up leisure hours. They worked hard sponsoring projects to earn money for their six-day class trip to Denver. These included a ham and chicken supper, paper and scrap iron drive, senior class play, “The Perfect Idiot,” and the proceeds from the two candy machines. The 12-year climb was a long one and often grew wearisome. But with the help of teachers and the principal, seniors chose curriculuma, counted credits, and planned their futures. Over one half of the class made college plans while the others searched the want ads.

In addition to this, twenty pupils drive cars and six walk to school. ‘The bus drivers also transport Madi- sonites to ball games, contests, field trips, and other school activities. At noon the kitchen staff serves a tasty lunch for the pupils’ insatiable appetites. The menus, which are planned by Mrs. Kintzel, are based around the ‘Basic Four.” Several girls are employed to assist the cooks by scraping plates and washing dishes. “Sweep the floors! Wash the blackboards!”’ are the cries of the maintenance staff as they clean the building each evening after school. During the day the custodians are kept busy with tending the fire, washing windows, fixing items in need of repair, and other duties that are necessary for the upkeep of the school. Many evenings they are still busy at work or are staying late because of after- school activities. MAINTENANCE and upkeep of the school building are the responsibilities of the custodians, Mrs. Agnes Clark, Mr. Milo Clark, and Mr. Ralph Null. BUS DRIVERS, J. Huns- berger, W. Fox, H. Pittman, L.
