AND tho’ with injuries you’ve been beset, And hardships too numerous to name, All of these you have, seemed to forget, As you have valiantly played the game. READY to go at the whistle’s call, Each warrior on his toes— Eager to rush at the snap of the ball, That’s how you have vanquished your foes. ON and on through a schedule severe, One that has left you, no rest— Tho’ the rain did pour and the winds did veer, Each MAROON kept giving his best. ONLY the “breaks” will determine the end Of this season now almost through; But win or lose you can surely depend, On support undaunted, loyal and true. NEVER in the history of Madisonville Has interest been so widely displayed— With hearts afire and with many a thrill, We have watched each play you’ve made. OO now MAROONS, “Faith’s Torch” hold high, Keep its flame forever bright! Make your “downs” as the years roll by, And keep up the “Good Old Fight.” —A Fan. EXTRA! EXTRA! EXTRA! M. H. S. Champions of Little Sixteen! Our coaches, Mr. Ellis and Mr. Ram- sey, are largely responsible for the Cham- pionship. They have taken the team’s football ability and developed it until it is foremost in the Little Sixteen. They have given our boys something more than mere coaching in football. They have given them ideals of sportsmanship and fair play and examples by which to build their characters. In remembering the victorious year of ’29 we should give a deep throated Rah! Rah! Rah for the Coaches. Coach Ramsey Coach Ellis Bob Eison, a half-back, Whose fast, shifty pace Was leading the rest In the score-making race. A tackle, a half-back, Or whatever you need, Karl Pate is a player Who’s versatile indeed. And here’s J. B. Moore, An end, whose fast gait Should win him a place On Kentucky All-State. And here we have Bennett, A shifty half-back. Whose runs added fame To the Maroon and Black. Paul Walker, a full-back, Who plays with a will, And is sharing the honors With Big Brother Bill. William Walker, our Captain, No better could we pick, “Big Un’s” very proficient At “blocking that kick.” Porter Taliaferro, center, Who depends not on luck, But on interest, and spirit, And plenty of pluck. Another good end, Who helps us to score ’em, And put the ball over, Is Otto “Wop” Corum. “Chicken” Roberts, a quarter, Who fought hard and played fair, In dividing the honors We give him his share. A tackle is Cliff Cox, Along with the rest We know little Coxie Is fighting his best. This introduces Chris Cox, A dependable guard, WTho always plays fair, And who always fights hard. FOWLER, TIPTON, UTLEY LAWSON and CAVANAH Our .subs who have shoved us, They have plenty of pep, They’ve played a good game. And established their rep. HEARD AT THE FOOTBALL GAME Mary Lou—Oh! Willie!

CLASS POEM (By Nevaline Sisk) We haven’t done much To make our memory live Through all the coming years, But our action such We’ve tried to make That they will cause no tears. Many friends we have in this place, But for them we will not sigh, But smile as on the threshold We linger, wishing to all success And that they may fill their place To the glory of M. H. S. As on through the future we struggle With the thick of the battle in front May we, like Lindbergh, forge ahead, For life in the great Wide world we’re facing And in it we must succeed. So then we make our bow, With our hearts an aching void, To fill our niche in the future The best that we know how, And we say to you, strive harder, As we say to you, farewell. History of January Class of 1930 ERE I to wander at length into the pleasant realm of fond memories, I might relate to our successors the glorious and eventful history of the January Class of 1930 which would bring to their hearts and minds cour- age and inspiration. I might cite manifold achievements and accom- plishments that have made this Class a glory in the sight of all; 1 might tell of pathetic incidents or relate humorous anecdotes that will forever be held in the hearts and pleasant memories of its members, but such an account would be too lengthy to be recorded. The majority of the boys in our Class have had an active part of the football field. The skillful playing and honest efforts of Porter Taliaferro, Robert Eison, Herman Oldham and Chicken Roberts put forth to bring glory and victory to the fame of M. H. S., have written their names on the minds of all students, and will ever be held in the highest esteem as’ athletes. The grit with which we met the daily problems, the cares and the teachers is a glowing manifestation of our courage and determination. The modesty with which we have met victory, the courage and bravery with which we have met de- feat will cause our memories to remain forever fresh in the hearts and minds of our classmates. Our passing will go unnoticed but the everlasting friendships and the fond memories and the beginning of what we firmly believe are wider and greater ac- complishments will serve as undying monuments of the Class of January, 1930. Beginning in January, 1926, with 50 members, our class has gradually decreas- ed until we now have fifteen, but with each decrease in number we have unified our purpose and ideals. We feel, however inconsistent the application, that if the spirit of our Class should be spread over the earth, the world would be a far better place in which to live. This seeming eulogy of ourselves is written in no feeling of egotism, but with a feeling of joyousness over a task well done, a beginning of a long road which leads to a distant ideal, a beginning that has not been altogether pleasant and fruitful but from which we part in sorrow'. We regret that in 1929 Mr. R. E. Henry chose to leave us and climb to a high- er round on the ladder of success, instead of waiting until he had seen us through, since he had been our group teacher all through our high school career. “Our dreams may burst like bubbles, our castles fall and melt into thin air, and our ideals be lowered, but though we rise to the loftiest heights or fall to the darkest depths, there will ever be to warm our hearts and comfort us in our sad- dest moments and to increase our cheer, the memory of M. H. S.., and our class- mates a memory of love and reverence for our dear old school.” —NORINE HIGDON. CALENDAR AUGUST 24—NOVEMBER 31, 1929 AI G. 24—SEPT. 1: The football camp.

MUSICAL EVENTS ANGELINE McCROCKLIN—Contralto, Birmingham, Alabama, former- ly of Louisville, sang for us at Chapel on Friday, October 18.

JACK SCHOFFIELD—Composer of many well known hymns, who was here as Song Leader for the Baptist revival, led songs and sang for us on Wednesday, October 30, at Chapel hour. We hope to have him with us again soon. CONCERT—The outstanding musical event of the year was the presen- tation of Madam Gray-LeVinne, violinist, and her talented son, Laddy Gray, by the Music Department of M. H. S. The program, offered to school children only, was a financial success and $20.00 was presented to the Library Fund. MR. AND MRS. TOM SCOTT, of Louisville, singers for the Methodist revival, gave us an interesting program on November 8 at Chapel. The en- tertainment consisted of poems by Mr. Scott and musical selections by him- self and Mrs. Scott. RUMSEY TAYLOR, the man seen on both the football field and bask- etball floor of Madisonville and well liked by every athlete and every sport lover of the city, gave us a very pleasant surprise Friday morning, November 22, at Chapel when he sang for us. We enjoyed 1� is numbers very much and he promised to come over again soon and bring his “Wild ‘Scotoh’ Rose” along to sing with him. THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT OF M. H. S. The Music Department of M. H. S., consisting of the Boys and Girls Glee Clubs, Junior High Chorus and the Orchestra, under the supervision of Mrs. Harper Gatton, has both grown and improved with this Semester. The Orchestra has almost doubled since last year and lias played for Chapel sing- ing once or twice. The culmination of the work by this Department this year was the Concert given Thursday night, November 21, in the High School Auditorium, which was not only a success musically but also financially, in- creasing the Library Fund $20.00 and the Music Fund $13.00. In the future we hope to make this Department an outstanding one at M. H. S. —Flora Helen Parker. JOKES Some laugh and grow fat, Some weep and grow thin, If you don’t like our jokes, Try handing some in. When a woman driver extends her hand, she is— Making a right turn, Intending to park. Backing out, Determining the weather, Chewing gum Waving to a friend, Flicking ashes from her cigarette, Displaying her jewels. Flirting with the traffic cop, Making a left turn, Practicing to accept a proposal, or What have you? Dan: I am burning with love. Miss Clements: Oh! Don’t make a fuel of yourself. The Flappers Lament A guy we hate Is Oscar Scribs, He always tries To count our ribs. Mrs. Ramsey: There are four re- quisites to a good short story, brev- ity, a reference to religion, some as- sociation with royalty and an illus- tration of modesty. Now with thevse four things in mind, I will give you thirty minutes to write a story. Ten minutes later the hand of Kincheloe went up. Mrs. Ramsey: That’s fine, Kinche- loe, now read your story. Kincheloe: “My gawd, said the Countess, take your hand off my knee.” Athletes may come, athletes may go And fade as in a dream, The horsefly is the best of all, He’s always on the team. Miss Stegar: Ben, who was the wife of Noah? Ben: Joan of Ark. Scottie (over the phone)—“Hello, would you like to have dinner with me tonight? Margaret Johnson—“I’d love to, dear.” Scottie—Well, tell your mother I’ll be over early. JOKES Dumb Oh, this is funny. Yes, It’s a scream— She thinks “St, Louis Blues” Is a baseball team! Judge: You’ve been accused of driving an automobile at fifty miles per hour. Accused: Yes, your honor. Judge: Were you with a woman? Accused: Yes, your honor. My mother-in-law had spent two weeks W'ith us and I was driving her back home. Judge: Acquitted. New Arrival at the Zoo. “Elephant?” That’s all you know. Aint I seen them things in the pa- pers wid GOP right on ’em? I tell ya, it’s a Gop!” Farmer: When’s the next train north? Station Agent: In an hour. Farmer: When’s the next train south? Station Agent: Fifty minutes. Farmer: All right, Mirandy, we can get across the tracks. A Spell of Sickness It was simply awful. I never had such a tough time in my life. First I got angina pectoris, followed by arterio-sclerosis. I was just through with these when I got tuberculosis, double pneumonia and phthisis. Then they gave me hypodermics. Appendicitis was followed by a ton- silotomy. I really don’t know how I pulled through it. It was the hardest spelling test I’d ever had. You’re too smart, you ought to be twins. I used to be. My mother has a picture of me when I was two. Wise Cracks An optimist is one who puts two cents on a letter and marks it rush. No one has ever complained of a parachute not opening. A garlic sandwich is two pieces of bread traveling in bad company. Our idea of a comical sight is the inveterate fisherman telling some friends how close an automobile came to hitting him. 8-A GROUP Irene Blankenship Louise Carey Helen Cox Bertha Cunningham Eva Lewis Goodacre Louise Fryer Marguerite Hawkins Nannie Higdon Pauline Hinton Betsy Iglehart Louise Brackett Leon Laffoon Mary Evelyn Leasure Fannie Mae McGuire Nettie Melton Horace Miller Ella Gill Morrow Clara Mae Pogue Marvin Rickard Sadie Shadrick Hazel Slaton William Thomas Jetrue Tomblinson Nathaniel Travis Earl Troop Kate Utley Mary Nell Whitsell Beulah Wilson Mary Ruth Wilson Carl Baker Womack Ethel Mae Gipson JUNIOR HIGH ACTIVITIES The seven Junior High Clubs “did their bit” Thanksgiving by contrib- uting sixteen baskets of provisions which were distributed among the needy by the Girl Reserves of Senior High. The Junior High Chorus, sponsored and directed by Mrs. Harper Gatton, entertained at the first meeting of the P. T. A., this year with several musi- cal selections and we are anxious to hear it again. The 8—8 Club has offered a prize for the best original essay on Madison- ville’s Football Team, and the best original poem on Club Spirit, the contest being open to Junior High students only. The winners have not been announced yet, but much originality was displayed in the works submitted. The Junior High Friends Club gave an enjoyable Thanksgiving Party in the Hi-Gym on November 27. Several contests were held. Those winning Prizes were Louise Brackett, Clara Mae Pogue and Gilbert Sullivan. Then refreshments were served. All reported a fine time. MUSINGS One sees so many unusual things, In the course of a day and a week, One wonders what fantastic trial Those Junior-Hi Students seek. Could broad ancestral rolling fields That yearn for good caretakers, Have any influence on Carl Womack In his love for little good-acres? Why does the brilliance of Evelyn Leasure Sight ignorant gloom like a lamp? Could you tell why pretty Cathryn Dockery Excites at a postage stamp? Is it true that little Julius Gooch Lets the Citizens Bank get his money? And what is the reason that Anna Yannoy Thinks Junior Hi is so funny? On and on goes the trend of the times You live and you learn and you wait. It’s the joy of the little surrounding things That makes you catch step with the gait. cA “Six” In the Price Range gf a “Four” Cooke Chevrolet Company 119 North Main Street Madisonville, Ky.
