 A Time for. . . CLASSES Parlez-vous Francais? If French was your interest this year, you enjoyed Madison's excellent foreign language department. Or perhaps you were mo- tivated in art. history, or mathematics. Madison students were as varied as the courses. To meet individualistic needs, Madison offered a wide range of subject matter. Proficient faculty members formed a team of educational experts, striving to satisfy the needs, interests, and curiosities of their students. Certain sights and sounds became so familiar they were taken for granted. Pencils being sharpened, papers shuf- fling. assignments being written on the board, crowded hallways - all these were part of the everyday life of a Madi- son student. What held their attention was the subject matter, first gleaned from assigned texts, then expanded and illuminated by teachers' comments, and finally absorbed in the give and take of discussion. Here a student could have learned to run a lathe or wrestled with the tougher points of calculus. Learning shorthand and singing in German were done in the same building. There was something for everyone. Whether grad- uates overhaul engines or attend the country's most prestigious universi- ties, they prepared in any case by what they have learned at Madison.

Advisors Strive to Help All Students Being a day late could be the big difference for seniors. Col- lege deadlines must be met. For most, the last year of school is only the beginning. The advisors at Madison play an important part in helping seniors prepare for their future education by providing college information and helping them plan ahead. Not only do they help with college plans, but give counseling and aid for future vocational interests. Seniors interested in scholarships arc able to receive advice from Mrs. Haskell. The advisors also prove invaluable to all the students in helping to plan and revise their schedules, aiding in personal problems and other counseling needs. The experience and sin- cere devotion of the counseling staff is greatly appreciated by the entire student body.
