Achieve c Top Honors The class of '52 is proud to announce Ward Patterson as Valedictor- ian, and Ruth Ann Ha- german as Salutotorian. These honors are achieved through hard work and are based on scholastic standards of the four high school years. Ward received the highest award, and Ruth Ann, second. These students have worked hard and deserve their rewards. Page Twenty-four Mrs. Kissel Is Senior Class Advisor When the seniors of 52 entered Madison as freshmen, we were fortunate to have Mrs. Freda Kissel as our class ad- visor for our high school years. She proved to be a worthy advisor, for she was interested in the things we wanted to do. She helped us decorate the gym for the freshman party and kept our expenses down. She thought of many ways to make our class parties enjoyable, and no one will ever forget the Kids Party held this year. The senior year is always one of tur- moil. We had to be measured for gowns, and go through practices, but she always had a smile. Mrs. Kissell will always be remember- ed by our class and we want her to know we appreciate her helpfulness even if it dcesn't show.

Students Attend Girls' and Boys' States Richard Graff, Ward Patterson, Ruth Ann Hagerman, Tom Brittain, David Mc Bride. Girls from throughout Ohio gathered for Buckeye Girls' State at Capital Univer- sity in Columbus to learn about their gov- ernment while many boys gathered for Boys' State at Camp Perry for the same purpose. Boys' State is sponsored by the American Legion, and Girls' State by the American Legion Auxilliary, Ruth Ann Hagerman attended Girls' State, and David Mc Bride, Tom Brittain, Dick Groff, and Ward Patterson attended Boys' State. They were the representatives from Madison. At Girls' State the girls were divided into cities, counties, and political parties. Each city elected officials and made laws. Page Twenty-six The county and state officials carried on campaigns and circulated petitions. The petitions were filed, then primary elections were held. There was last minute cam- paigning, and the final election was held. The government offices were set up and operated as much like the real government as possible. Boys' State was conducted in a very similar manner. Nominating conventions were held instead of a primary election. The candidates for Girls' and Boys State are juniors chosen on a basis of scholastic standing, leadership, citizenship, and school organizations.
