CLASS OFFICERS J. Yeates, Reporter; B. Murphey, Secretary; J. Lef- fel, Sergeant-at-Arms; S. A. Brown, Business Manager; M. Zirk, Vice-President; A. Suiter, Treasurer. Zkc Senior Class The Senior Class of 1956 had its beginning on September 14, 1952. Then started the rounds of regis- tration, teas, receptions, and get- ting acquainted with roommates. We were Freshmen from far and near, but we elected Olga Kandis to lead our class as a united group. Mr. and Mrs. Stephen C. Bocskey were chosen as the sponsors of this baby class, and Barbara and Buddy became our mascots. From the beginning, the Class of ' 56 has been noted for the Firsts it has inaugurated. We were the first as Freshmen to receive one cut during the first semester, and to sponsor a class dance. Mary Lou Carroll took over the PRESIDENT Margaret Hartsel job of presiding over our class dur- ing second semester. Toward the end of our first year, we began making plans for our first Class Day. That year we were on T.V. and stars in our own right. The next year we returned to campus eager to greet old friends, and to take our place as the Sopho- more Class. Our efficient leader was Ray Caplan. We carried on the tradition of selling beanies to the Freshmen. More highlights of this year included rushing and goating. When February rolled around, our second Class Day was a smash hit with Ziegfield In Heaven — the biggest, most elaborate show ever presented on Class Night. At last springtime came and we concentrated on getting a suntan and decorating our own class float for the May Day parade. Juanita Mowles was our capable leader during our Junior year. Af- ter Thanksgiving we presented Fantasy In Jazz, a Class Night second only to ours of the previous year. This year we received many long, interesting letters from Rettie Warren, our own exchange student to England. This was another first for never before had the student body of Madison sent an exchange student overseas for study. This year also the May Queen wore a jeweled crown presented by our class to the school for use in all future May Day coronations. Then in a flurry of campaign speeches and decorations in Har- rison Hall, major and minor elec- tions were held and we took the guiding reins. Here at last — we had moved up as Seniors. When our sister class capped us, we knew we were really here. Leading us through this year of heightened activity and responsibilities was Margaret Hart- sel. And we were to have a brand new mascot, Betsy Jo Bocskey. Many of our class were away from campus doing their student teaching in various parts of Vir- ginia. Soon we were occupied with placement credentials, interviews and applications. Oh yes, we all had plenty to occupy our time. And this year from our class were chosen the Madonna and Joseph, Miss Madison, Apple Blos- som Princess and the May Queen. Moving-Up Day brought mix- ed emotions as we moved out of the student body of Madison Col- lege. We took our last exams, and all too soon we heard the strains of Pomp and Circumstance bring to a close our happy college days. Now as we look back as alum- nae over four full and rewarding years at Madison, we begin to rea- lize how much more it meant to us than only a degree after our names and facts in our heads. We will remember and cherish fond memo- ries of friendly faces, the traditions that meant so much at Madison, the happy times, and the sad times, the experiences we may never have again. SPONSORS Buddy, Mrs. Bocskey, Mr. Bocskey, Barbara
