FOREWORD 'V' THIS VOLUME we have made especial efforts to realistically depict the course of a highly successful and typical year in the history of Central High School. We have sought to create a cherished memory of the faculty and classmates who shared our school days with us, of the organizations which were the outlets for our excess energies, of our athletic record which was a source of pride inexhaustible, of our school life, brimful and wholesome; and of the never failing humor of corridor and classroom. We have attempted to do so because a new high school has been erected which will claim a share of our student body. It will transform our school; it will introduce new institutions for old and will cause old traditions to make way for new. For this reason we take especial pleasure in tracing in a brief way the growth of this high school coincident with the development of Madison and in reviewing a typical year in the history of Central; and if, in perusing this volume, a clear and realistic vision of that which we have known presents itself, our efforts shall have been rewarded with success.
