On the eve of our graduation we pause to extend our appreciation for four memorable years. lt seems only a short time ago that we entered Madison as frightened Freshmen. As a result of your educational alchemy, we are about to emerge a bit wiser and a bit more mature. This is traditionally the time to say goodbye. We say it with heartfelt affection, secure in the knowl- edge that those who have preceded us, and our classmates who will follow will have the benefit of the same warmth, friendship and guidance. Our thanks go to our subiect teachers, to those teachers who led us in extra-curricular activities-in sports, Sing, publications, S.G.O. and clubs-to our grade advisers, our college advisers, to Mr. New- field and the administrative staff. We say thanks, too, for the friendships we made and for the out- of-class fellowship of teacher and student. A special word of thanks goes to our senior class adviser for his patience and guidance through the labyrinth of graduation preparations. They have done their part. We pledge to do ours by bringing credit to James Madison, our alma mater.

Dear Seniors, For the past year, l've been general handyman to you. l've alphe- betized you, collected your money down to the last dime, measured you for gowns, sold you prom tickets, distributed your senior hats and buttons, rehearsed your panel discussion and helped get you ready to march down the aisle-for graduation, of course, You've been my headache, and yet the kind of headache that's fun and sometimes a satisfaction. Now it is time for me to say good-bye. Usu- ally, at this point, l wish you luck. However, now l'm not going to, l'm going to tell you that you carry your own luck. . .good or bad, with you. Someone once said that character is fate. By that he meant that your personality iwhat you aret determines your future lwhat you be- comel. Of course, what you have learned and will learn . . .the spe- cial skills, the subject matter and the facts will help determine your career, and how well you do in that career, and how well you do in the much more important career of life depends on what you have learned about yourself and other people, for what else is character but the way we relate ourselves to our neighbors, friends and even enemies? So, good-bye, and here's wishing you. . .luck? No. Make your Own! Sincerely, JMMEU :N ff lb g , if ' l , li, fy fl! i l N g X ,F If fl, fe! of ! of , if c b, f x ' J I f ff 'tt il K ,f if ill I i X ff, ' Q if r ' X ' s lf? l ,J lucvillwst f
