CARL KEEFERI 'I' 4 ' ' ' We the class of '39 Assembled here four years ago, 'In the halls of M. H. S. To start a higher goal. We spent those years of gladness Tn trying to do our bit, Toward making M. H. S. a school, That we will ne'er forget. CLASS CLAss CLASS Senior Class Poem We worked and we played as the occasion called, And each year we increased in knowledge and strength And as we rose higher, our class we gave, As a pattern for those who were beginners at the game. The standards we did not make, but only tried to keep, Because preceding classmen had done their duty, too. Let us not forget our parents who sacrificed their share, In helping us to uphold the banners of Madison Hi. Last but not least our teachers we conclude, Who through their patience and cognition, Taught us much more than just knowledge out of books: But set for us examples worthy of everybody's recognition So now we leave these halls of M. H. S. Somewhat sad, yet glad, that now that all is over, We may have a chance to make The world into which we now have graduated As proud of the Class of '39 as is our Alma Mater. -VELMA J.

The big event of the year came cn May 13, when we were host to the Seniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet. It was a magnificent affair and will live in our memory for many years to come. With the school spirit still strong, the year came to an end with three years down and one to go. We had enjoyed the past three years immensely and were looking forward with great enthusiasm for the happ-n- ings of our last year. Summer passed quickly and soon sixty-one students came back to pass their senior year at Madison Hgh School. The class chose their offizersz Carl Keefer, Pres., Melvin Harner, Vice-Pres., Helen Desterhaft, Sec., and Gene Harmon, Treas.g Miss Nellie Reader and Mr. Kenneth Nixon were again chosen as our class advisors. Two new students were welcomed to the class. They were Anna Mae Frontz and Mary Jayne Menke. Also two new teachers took their place on the faculty, Mr. Paul Monette and Mr. James Weber. On October 27 the Seniors gave their Hallowe'en Party, which was very entertaining. Our football team won the Richland County B League Cup again and all the Senior players were awarded. Bob Wilkins was awarded a medal for be- ing the best sportsman in football this season. We were sorry to see Geraldine Stauffer leave to spend the winter in Florida and were glad to have her back to graduate with us in May. In December the Senior Class gave their assembly program, with various kinds of numbers being given. The Senior band furnished part of the music, and also for the Junior play. At the beginning of the second semester we were glad to have Curtis Williams with us. The Annual Staff was chosen so they would be ready to go to work fast and furiously by the second sem- ester. The last half of the Senior year found the members of the class very busy working on the annual, and get- ting their pictures taken. The pictures and write-ups for each organization and class in the school were finished and sent to the publishing company on April 10. The play, Sis Perkins, was given on May 5. Due to the efforts of the play cast and Miss Reader, the play was well presented and enjoyed. The members of the Senior Class were guests of the Juniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet on the evening of May 12. It was a magnificent affair and was immensely enjoyed by all. We take this opportunity to thank the Juniors for the fine time we enjoyed. The Seniors presented their Annual Class Day Program on May 19. The Baccalaureate Service was held on May 21 at St. John's Evangelical Church. The Commencement Exer- cises Were held on the following Thurs- day, May 25, in the auditorium. The goal was finally reached and we were all rewarded for the hard work we had completed in our four years of school life at Madison High. It was the last time the class met together and after receiving our diplomas we departed and each started the curious road that will lead him through life. On Friday, May 26, the High school Picnic was held. It was very much enjoyed, and the time was spent, large- ly, in saying good-bye to fellow class- mates. Page Eleven
