opportunities for recognition and honors Records of achievement are many at Madi- son. 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.
