ITOgHPlEN One morning in September, Of a bright and sunny day, The school doors opened to admit, A band of freshmen gay. They came and took possession. Of a hundred seats or more. And quickly settled down to work, In search of new book-lore. Though taunted by the Sophomores, And ways were strange and new, They never faltered, but kept on, And studied hard and true. And now the time approaches, When they’ll leave the first year class, And in their turn will laugh and jeer, At tin entering freshman mass. Then in a few more years to come, They’ll stand before the rest, And every one will speak of them, As the class that was the best. And wherever they may wander, Thro’ countries bad or fine, They all will fondly think of Their class of Nineteen-Nine! 13

CLASS HISTORY, 1908. Tn the fall of 1904 a host of first-year pupils came to the Madison High School. They were of gigantic mental proportions, and from their proud height they looked upon the Sophomores with undisguised scorn. Some one has said that they were the best looking, and also the brightest of any class that ever entered the venerable old building. During this year of torment they were separated, some were seated in the new main room and others in the old main room. The next September beheld this same class marching in at the old weather beaten door, but no longer as freshmen. They were now alert second-year pupils, who looked upon the underclassmen with amusement. After a few weeks came the all important task of class organization. This occupied the first three weeks of the school year. Never before had the crumbling structure seen such a show of politics as at the election of class president. This dignity was bestowed upon Louis llalbaeh, who was now considered by all to be an eminent politician. A committee was then appointed to select a class pin. and after a few weeks the work of art was ordered, which pleased all. This seemed to complete the work of the officers, as there has not been another meeting since. From that time on everything has passed smoothly except for tho suspension of a member for a few days, and thus ends the history of the class of 1908.
