The day when the class of 1901 began to honor the Madison High School with its attendance. Our coming abolished the old ideas and superstitions about freshmen being green. As sophomores we were quiet, unobtrusive and every one thought well of us. We did not bother the freshmen, and were model scholars in every way. Now that we are juniors we have become famed for our learning and good judgment. In matters of order and discipline the faculty never have any trouble with us. Our conduct is continually being held out to the other classes—seniors included—as an example of good behavior. One thing more—our class party. That party surpassed any function ever seen before or since. It will never be equalled. That we will continue in our progression next year is certain. We refer you to any trance medium.

On the ninth of September, in the fall of 1898, there joined the ranks of the Madison High School what was then and still is known as the “great and mighty” class of 1902. Our coming may be likened to the Norman conquest of Britain. It infused new life and energy into the broken spirits of our predecessors. Indeed the statistics show that we excelled any class that has ever entered the high school, both in mind and body. We soon became accustomed to our new duties—and also the % sight of the office. We were not terrified by those things that usually make freshmen miserable, but, one by one, conquered them all. And so we went through the first year. Our second year has been more of a success than our first, if that be possible. Our class has so far upheld the reputation we established in our first year by being equally strong in body and mind. Hence we are thought to be so fit to govern that some of our most prominent members have been asked to sit in the Old Main Room to assist in quelling the Freshman riots. So we close our first two years in this great school with a record that a nation might be proud of. 7 7

Where Honor Leads Forth from centuries of slumbers Roused by calls from mighty sources Came the tribe of 1900. To the master's wigwam came they, Came to hear the words of wisdom Of the sagamores and sachems; To receive the waiting message In the land of higher knowledge In the realm of Hutch-ee-sahn-ee. Four long years of teaching, teaching, Moons of learning, learning, learning, Made them wise and full of knowledge Made what was a tribe of warriors What is now a tribe of prophets. When the last imparting sentence From the lips of the Great Spirit Died away like fading cadence, All the birds and trees and flowers Then caught up the dying murmurs, 0 Sang again the noble accents.
