THE JUNIOR PARTY. Lo, on the 20th day of April of the year 1900 did the mighty class of 1901 gather together a great concourse of dancers even to the number of 200 and the gathering thereof was called the junior party. Behold when all were gathered together from first ward and from second and from many another mighty district of Mad-son, yea, even from the ’Varsity, the orchestra, Nitschke’s, did strike the strings of their harps and the sweet strains of a two-step came forth, and thus the dance began. Of a truth had the mighty “Chan” Abbott and the two great councils of the class done their work full well, for so did the music please the multitude that the orchestra was greeted with a great clapping of hands at the end of many a dance, and then did they play yet more. But behold, soon came the hour of midnight and then did the feet of the dancers no more tread the floor. The Armory was as a tomb, so silent was it. Thus ended the Junior Party, but the glory of it and of the class of 1901 shall live forever. COMMITTEES. Arrangement—Chauncey Abbott, Cora M. Norsman, Cassius H. Gleason. Decoration—John Ford, Bertha M. Taylor, Margaret M. Donovan, Chas. A. Leatzow, Hazel Isaacs. 26

TT1H1E TY=C1H10“®ER»A1H1No For the first time in its long and eventful history the Madison High School has issued an annual. After seeing the brilliant efforts of other schools in this line a few of us decided that we could do as well. “Thus the greatest literary enterprise of the century ’ as they say in the Encyclopedia Britannica prospectus, was originated. Each of the two upper classes elected three representatives to uphold their dignity on the board while the teachers in English appointed two members of each of the first two classes to “tell their side of the story” Many a Friday afternon the board mqt in Miss McGovern's room and perused red-hot roasts on inoffensive (or otherwise) little boys and girls. A few were cut out by the board, more by the censor. At first we were puzzled at what to call our effort. We finally, however, dceided on “The Ty-cho-ber-ahn.” This name, as the title page informs you, was taken from the old Indian name, Ty-cho-ber-ah, by which the present site of Madison was known to the early Indians. The board has accomplished a great work in a short time. May this be the first but not the last. n
