Digging Up The Past On September 7, 1937, there marched into Madison High School, 93 quiet and somewhat frightened Students, who where beginning their four years of higher education. The first few weeks were spent in quietly watching and learning the ways of 'the upper-classmen. We be- came acquainted with the faculty, who helped us with our many problems. We elected the following officers: Wil- liam Besser, President, Olive Jean Hughes, Vice-Presidentg Raymond Schnerer, Secretary and Treasurer. Mr. Charles Vanderbilt was chosen as our class advisor. Our first opportunity to show our initiative and self-reliance was in giv- ing the Freshman Sailor Party. This was one of the biggest events of the year and the freshmen were happy over their success in this field. During the remainder of the year we were entertained by the upper- classmen. The school picnic brought to a close our freshman year at Madi- son High. Once more on September 6, we marched into Madison High School, but this time as sophomores and with more confidence. Upon our arrival, we were intro- duced to the new teachers, Mr. Weber, Mr. Monett, and Miss Siegfried, the office girl. During the coming year these teachers were to be a great help to the students. After the excitement of starting school had faded away, the sophomore class organized with Jack Amos, Presi- dent, William Folmer, Vice-Presidentg Dorothy Butler, Secretary, and Mary Mihailoff, Treasurer. Mr. Fendrick was chosen as class advisor. On March 31, the freshmen and sophomores combined their efforts to give a very successful party. May 26 found us eagerly awaiting the annual picnic. This, our second year in Madison High School, was well spent and we were looking forward to our Junior year. As juniors we again entered another year of school on September 5. We were glad 'to see our former classmates and teachers. We learned that Mr. Page Ten William Kopical had replaced Mr. Mc- Fadden on the faculty staff. During our junior year the cl:.ss of- ficers were: President, Walter Henry, Vice-President, Walter Weimerg Secre- tary, Robert Heichelg Treasurer, Jchn Chualoff. As we were now becoming upper classmen there was a need for two class advisors to help us with our many activities. Miss Mills and Mr. Kopical were selected to give us their advice and guidance. On November 29 the Junizr Play, '5That Crazy Smith Family, was pre- sented. From all reports it was a great success. Our junior party was given on January 26. Another big event of the year was the Junior-Senior Ban- quet. The banquet was held on May 10 and was a credit to the Junior Class. During the last three weeks of school we relaxed, anxiously anticipat- ing the school picnic. After enjoying the picnic and annual Lawn Feta, we were glad to have a vacation before the beginning of our last and best year. When school opened in September of 1940, we started our last year with the determination to make it the mist success ul and interesting. We looked forward to the many activities with much enthusiasm. The class elected as its officers: Walt- er Henry, Presidentg Bob Heichel, Vi :e- Presidentg Dorothy Butler, Secretary, and Margaret Hawks, Treasurer. Our faithful class advisors were Mr. Nixon and Miss Yarian. We welcome two new teachers, Miss Stout and Miss Yarian. It is our hope that they may cherish their years at Madison as much as we do. The senior class entertained the students and faculty with the annual Hallowe'en Party. An evening of hilar- ity and excitement was enjoyed by all who attended. The class pictures were taken in November and, even though many emphatically declared 'their-pictures to be horrible, the class, as a whole, was well pleased with the photographs. The annual staff was chosen in De- cember and work was immediately be- gun to make an interesting yearbook.
