A change from the security and familiarity of elementary school to the strange unknown atmosphere of high school! These were our thoughts, as we meekly entered the portals of Madison. We had suddenly been demoted from the superior class in grade school to the lowest class in high school. Everything was new and different4from the unfamiliar building, to the routine of classes and study. The activities of Madison continued around us and we soon became ab- sorbed in them. A new organization, Rooters, was established to take the place of sororities and fraternities, which had been banned. An over- whelming affirmation was given to football in a referendum which decided the fate of that sport at our school. Although we did not have our own Sing, the Freshman chorus buzzed with the excitement of introducing the shows of the upper classmen. The small size of our class, however, restricted to some extent our participation in extra-curricular activities. 10

Arista Leaderselilli Segal janet Lass SYNOPSIS OF ACT II: The Sophomore year brought a great increase in the size of our class. Many new students came to James Madison from junior high school, going through the same period of adjustment as did last year's newcomers. Old students now felt somewhat more secure in their school and in its routine. They walked less hesitantly through the halls, even stopping occasionally to help their new and confused classmates End their way through Madison's haze. The tremendously expanded class now participated in many school activi- ties, the rnost important of which was Sing Our Hrst Sing was entitled Madison Goes To Las Vegasf' Although we were novices and had many obstacles to overcome, our enthusiasm was always in high gear during the weeks of preparation. The three performances of Sing were the most memorable highlights of the Sophomore year. While we sadly mourned the fate of our star-crossed football team, our school spirit nevertheless increased. When our Mosketeers entered the play-offs, our class enthusiastically cheered for their success. A S. ' il 7 if X K 'W '4ff xx X S I J Xa Q A X ii, L5 X3 if if af EN g fwiibi-I? l X f i f f X X
