Lest the Heeting years marked by the chaos, confusion and destruction of a war-wrecked world should dim the memory of the faces upon which we have so often gazed; lest our backward glance should fail to visualize familiar scenes and places made precious for their association; lest the ideals, ambitions, and aspirations so firmly planted by the untiring efforts of our beloved parents and teachers should cease to be the guiding principles of our lives; and, lest the friendships here forged be rudely wrought asunder by the relentless onslaught of time; we, the members of the Monelison Staff, desiring to leave an enduring representative of our golden high school years, present this, the seventeenth volume of the Monelison, to the faculty anil students of Madison Heights 1 ligh School. Upon these tlrree great leaders rests the dual responsibility of successfully terminating the present global conflict and of erecting a post-war world which will offer peace and security to the youth pictureo! between these cotter. . 1945 (Presentincj the .

Alice graduated from Madison Heights High School on June 1, 1944. Upon her graduation, she received the scholarship medal annually awarded to the student attaining the highest scholastic average for the four years of high school work. Her academic achievement, her friendly manner and her example of good citizenship will serve as an inspiration to both present and future students of the High School to which she meant so much. OUR SERVICE MEN When you were called to keep Old Glory waving high, each of you left a place in our class which could not and has not been filled. Russel’s academic achievement. Warren's hearty laugh and twinkling brown eyes, John’s kindly, helpful manner, Carlisle's ready blush and spontaneous smile and Joe’s example of good citizenship will long he remembered by faculty and students alike. Our boys have seen the power of America at war. and they are expecting that same power to produce post-war commodities and conditions which will enable them to build, dream and grow with their country. They are anticipating a share in the greater opportunities which they are playing such a vital part in preserving. To guarantee these op|xirtunities is the responsibility of America's public schools. Rest assured, our friends in Service, that Madison High will not fail you.

A school is made by the students there, Who make it a fine dwelling place; Those who don’t falter, and those who will dare To make of it more than a space. When an ornate building we happen to site, We wonder if those who’re inside Can be as pure as the building is white, Or whether their souls have died. If each word or deed spoken and done Is the cornerstone of our school, Could we say that Madison High is one Whose students supplied the tools? Though soon from her halls our class will depart, We hope we have helped to design A beautiful school that will live in each heart, Of those who will leave her behind. Mary Coleman. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY EPOCH I In September, in the year of Our Lord. Nineteen Hundred and Forty-One, there landed upon the shore of the Realm of Learning, a goodly number of explorer and eeker after wisdom. Being shaken in spirit from their rough voyage upon the sea of inexperience, they were quite terrified by the three tribes already inhabiting this realm. The member of the new band were called Freshman, which in the language of the realm meant “green. They were seventy-four in number, and for the purpose of protection and mutual advancement they organized and elected a president of the class, Norma Ram ey. Other officers were Faye Bryant, vice-president and Pat y Smith, secretary-treasurer. In spite of their greenness the new colonists made rapid progress. Their chief rulers were Mrs. Thoma and Mrs. Mayberry, who soon became of much assistance in guiding the Freshmen. Although incited by the daring of the higher tribes the Freshmen occasionally violated rules, without serious catastrophe they came to the end of the first epoch. EPOCH II At the beginning of the second epoch, the Freshmen advanced and took possession of the strongholds of the Sophs. Among the newcomers were those from the Elon Colony, who came in search of the greater supply of Knowledge to be found in the great Madison High. To lead them to greater achievements, the Sophs did elect Hazel Dean as president. Other officers were Patsy Smith, vice-president and secretary-treasurer, Faye Bryant. The Sophs lost one Chief Ruler. Miss Turman, who went to seek new shores. She was succeeded by Mrs. Doyle, a kindly Ruler, with whom all fell in love. Local rebellions of small import arose over occasional faculty rulings, but were settled by peaceful arbitration. So drew to an end the second epoch. EPOCH III With the beginning of the third epoch several changes were noted. The valiant band who had entered as Freshmen, and had conquered the lessons of the Sophs, now advanced and occupied the territory of the Juniors. To preside over them as the chief executive they elected Mary Coleman, who did walk wisely before them. Other executives were Russel Shelton. June Rucker and Edith Hudson. It was found that several members among them—Franklin Strickler, Gladys Jordan and Talmadge Wood—had left the class and taken themselves to new scenes and duties. The number of members was found to be seventy-one. An important Faculty Ruler of this period was Miss Mitchell, who was a skillful general in the contests with Ignorance. Important social events of this period were the Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance and the Junior-Senior Picnic. Thus did draw to a close the third epoch. EPOCH IV Epoch four was marked by important reconstruction, for the humble band who had invaded the Freshmen trenches three years before, now became Seniors, the Invincible Class of 1945. The wise and sagacious Dorothy Blanks was elected president. Vice-President was Calvin Garrett: secretary, Edith Hudson, and treasurer. Frances Morris. The Seniors numbering fifty-two did greatly impress themselves upon the lower tribes of the Realm of Learning. Deserters from the class were Carlisle Berryman. Warren Pugh. Faye Bryant, George Coleman. Evelyn Gowen, John Miller. Russel Shelton, Susie Morcom and Selma Coleman. A great occasion was Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance in April. Thus doth close the fourth epoch, and with their motto, “To leave some mark behind, to keep our having lived in mind, emblazoned upon their shields, the Class of 1945 goes forth to invade and conquer new territories.
