 07 TifiMtovp Who are we? Why, the Seniors of course. How did we happen-to earn that title? Well, you see it was this way: In September, 190:1, with quaking hearts and shuffling feet, we entered for the first time the dingy halls of the Madison High School. We had previously been told that in this illustrious seat of learning pupils were not expected to be on their best behavior and as a result of this information we were designated by the faculty as “those continual rough-housers. ’ ’ For many years the great social event of every sophomore class had been the annual party. We, however, were heartlessly denied this function, and it is probable that we will never entirely recover from this disappointment. Our Junior Prom, like everything else we undertook, was in every respect a success. For fear that we might become too highly elated over our triumph, the faculty decided to limit the time, and instead of dancing until two o’clock, as on former occasions, we were obliged to disband at the unearthly hour of twelve. For many years we had looked forward to the time when we should be seniors and be the only class coming to school simply for recitations. But, as the High School is torn down, there is no main assembly room, and we have no greater rights than the insignificant sophomores and juniors. We had some hopes that in order to atone for this injustice the faculty would provide us with a convenient and respectable place in which to recite, hut again we were doomed to disappointment. The newest building in the city, the Doty school, was given to the freshmen, the most beautiful, the Library, to the sophomores and juniors, and the most disreputable, the combined engine house and police station, to the seniors. Now that, the completion of our course approaches, we will scon depart from the benign influence of the old High School. During the four years there have been some sorrows and disappointments, hut we have shared them together and they have perhaps made the pleasures all the sweeter. In after years, as pleasant memory recalls our school days, we will look hack upon them with a thrill of affection for “1907,” and above all fer the dear old M. II. S. 1241
