CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1939 there came to Madison 100 students destined to compose the class of 43. After we became accustomed to our surroundings, our class organized with jack Spriesterbach as Presidentg jack Thoma, Vice President, Mildred Metz, Secretary, and Betty jean Landfair, Treasurer, with Mr. Vanderbilt as our class advisor. Qur first social event of the year was a combined FreshmanfSophof more party. It turned out to be most successful. Thus, our first year at Madison came to a close with a picnic which was held at North Lake Park for all our schoolmates. When the school bell rang again on September 5, we entered Madison again this year being Sophomores. We were smaller in number but we still possessed the vitality and desire to get ahead. We learned that Miss Stout and Miss Yarian were to be our two new teachers. When the final returns of the election were in, it was found that Mr. Fendrick had been chosen as our class advisor with Harold Hammer as Pres' identg Jerry Strine, Vice President, Billy Wynn, Secretary, and Corrine Brown as Treasurer. With these efficient officers we had a very success' ful year. When the class of 43 came back in the Junior year we organized with Delbert Poston as President, LaDonna Harrison, Vice President, Ada Hahn, Secretary, and Billy Wynn as Treasurer, with Miss Lenore Mills and Paul Monnett as our class advisors.

Perhaps the first biggest event of the year was our play, Professor, How Could You starring some of the more talented members of our class. It was very successful due to the efforts of Miss Mills, Mr. Monnett and the cast. On February 27, a sweater party was enjoyed by the junior class and their guests. May 8 came before we knew it, and the junior'Senior Banquet was held. The juniors had been looking forward to this gala evening with great anticipation. The annual picnic at North Lake Park finished the year. We eagerly awaited our fourth and final year of high school. Our senior year began in September of 42. Upon our return we found that Mr. William Kopical and Mr. Paul Monett had left us to enter Uncle Sam's armed forces. They were replaced by Mr. Foster Laribee and Mr. Charles Kirkwood respectively. We also learned that Mr. Herman Dooley had replaced Mr. Weber as music director. Our carefully selected class officers were Billy Wynn as President, Ada Hahn, Vice President, Mary Louise Harrod as Secretary, Richard Gross, Treasurer, and Miss Eileen Stout and Mr. Foster Laribee as our advisors. As soon as they were organized, the members of the Junior class helped us plan for our Spook Party to be held in October. From the remarks we overheard, we judged it to be very successful. Cn April 30 the seniors presented Every Family Has One, a three' act play which was well presented and enjoyed by everyone. May 7 rolled around, and the Juniors presented the Seniors with a buf' fet dinner in place of the usual banquet which could not be given because of present war conditions. Baccalaureate Services were held May 16, and Commencement Exercises were held the following Friday, May 21. Our last year was concluded by our annual picnic at North Lake Park. It was enjoyed very much, though we all regreted to bid our classmates and faculty adieu. Page Twe ty 'Tzsu
