In this same year, June, 1923, the faculty consisted of Mr. McHaffey, Mrs. Swindler and Mrs. West. The members of the Board of Education were: Mr. John Brinkey, Mr. William Kendall and Mr. Herbert Jackson. FortyOne The following pictures show the first unit of Madison High School and the Oakland (Irade School, which were finished in March, 1924. A faculty of seven teachers guided the di-tinv of one hundred and eighty children. Two teachers still remain from that faculty, Alim G, Moegle and Mrs. West. The evolution of Madison High School in reality begins July, 1923, with the new five-man Ijoard of Education, namely: Mr. E. E. Milby, president; Mr. Daniel J. Gunter, secreta Mr. Herbert Jackson, Treasurer; Mr. Lawrence Bartley and Mr. William Kendall, trus 4929^ FortyTwo We hasten over the years 1926 and 1927, as no permanent buildings or addi• tions vvrv erected. No material changes occurred in the school system except a trebling in the enrolhnent. Our far-sighted Board of Education, seeing the rapid growth of school population, purchased three five-acre sites in different sections of the district, namely, the Blanche Villa, the Koss and the Kendall sites. Temporary buildings were placed on all these sites by using the old Green- WHod school for the Kendall site; by the removing of the brown temporary building to Blanche Villa and the erection of a new tw-o-room building for the Koss site. These three temporary buildings carry us down to the years 1927-1928, during which time the new unit was added to Madison High School providing for special ;ind vocational subjects. The Faculty has now grown to twenty-five teachers and the enrollment to eight iiundred and twenty. The two sketches show the Madison High School with the new unit. With the new six-room building on the Blanche Villa site and the two-room addition to the Oakland under construction, we close this chapter of the Madison High School liistorv. m MADISON HIGH SCHOOL 1929 Forty-Three JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Forty-Four ^1929 Forty-Five basketball First Team This has not been a successful season for Madi• son as far as winning games are concerned. We began the season witli all new material. None of the boys had ever ])layed a basketball game before nor had they seen one played by others. Under these conditions they have done very well. There is something on which the boys can be praised and that is their sportsmanship, school S])irit, and ability to stick out a season regardless of the scores piled u]) against them. It is easy to play a game and follow through a full season when one is on the top but few boys or schools will stick out a season in which the\ lose every game. Even though the score of some of our games were close and they did not think the referee gave them a fair deal, there were no arguments either with the referee or with the other team. I think the good sportsmanship and school s])irit that has been shown by this team and also by the whole higii school grou]) should be encouraged. Xext year we will have four of these five play• ers back again, losing only one, Kenneth Gregory. These four shoxdd make a sound nucleus around which a winning team can be built. KEITH TARRAXT. 1929^ FortySix Second Team This team was organized primarily to build up material for the First Team. These boys took their task seriously and began to show us they could play basketball. They did not play as many games as the First Team but those they did play they played exceptionally well. They won two of their six games and the rest of the games were very close. They lost one of their best men when Kenneth Bricker quit school at the end of the first semester, but the team soon recovered and went on just the same. Henry Lawson might also be mentioned as the high point man of all the games after Kenneth Bricker left. He and Michael Tinik played some on the First Team. 4929^ II FortySeven Girls' Athletics Basketball Players Forward.... Helen Dzienis (Capt.) Forward....

Every game they seemed to play bet• ter than they did the last one. These boys liked the game and seemed to get a lot of fun out of it. They have shown us that there is a wealth of ma• terial in the school, and some of these boys are going to bid for a place on the First Team next year. KEITH TARRANT.
