U. G. FAREWELL TO M. H. H. S. Time quickly grants to us a fast and fleeting sigh For things we've loved and given yet a cherished part, When, lo, the eve of parting quickly draweth nigh, And memories so fond we've treasured within our heart. How sad to leave Madison Heights, our fair devoted shrine, That nurtured all our dreams and banished all our fearsg Mother school, we know that you're not architecture iine, But you've seemed like a castle to us these many years. We'll miss our teachers dear, their loving patience, too. We'll iight life's battles with a courage here conceived, Achieve great gains, resolve to prove worthy of you- To manifest and live the things which we've believed. M. H. H. S., although we part, you'll ever be with us, Retrieved within the boundless depths of soul and mind. Students, we leave to you our schoolfa mighty trust. Keep her for us, we plead, now leaving her behind. --DOROTHY Co1.EMAN. 20 Q30 ' i NT '-92.1 'iii ,Tx i T2 if-.- SENIORS JOHN W.

' 1 MADISON HEIGHTS HIGH SCHOOL CLASS HISTORY In September in the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Two. there boarded the Train of Knowledge about eighty-eight persons bound for a trip through Madison Heights High School. much famed for its dissemination of Knowledge. We, the passengers, were assigned places in the Freshmen Section and were well supplied with food for our mental growth and development by Miss Hundley, Mrs. Arthur and Mr. Lasko. Layton Taylor, who was chosen president of the Frosh Section, saw that we acquired sufficient pep, loyalty and school spirit. Other officers were Carlyle Brown, vice-president, and Frank Burks, secretary-treasurer. Our conductor for the first half of the trip was Mr. Early, and he was succeeded by Mr. Fulcher for the last part of the journey. At the end of the first year, having successfully met the requirements for Freshmen passengers, we were transferred to the Sophomore Car and with a membership of about seventy-six, bravely endured the jolting of rougher travel. A number of passengers from Elon joined our group in the Soph car, and we proceeded on our journey. Louise McCord was chosen president with Jeane Grant, vice-president, Thomas Dalton, secretary-treasurer and representatives, Layton Taylor and Claude Duff. Several of our passengers dropped off at side station. Core was eliminated from the menu of knowledge, and new courses, were added. As time passed, we were shifted again and placed in the Junior Coach with 56 jolly members, of whom Dorothy Coleman was elected president. Claude Duff was vice-president, Layton Taylor, secretary, and Demarest Coffey, treasurer. Representatives were Charlotte Bryant, Carlton Lyons and Louise McCord. Several passengers including Frank Mclvor, Buddy Gowens and Roy Wooldridge dropped off at side stations and did not resume the trip. The important events of the year were junior-Senior Banquet and Dance in April at which our rings were presented and junior-Senior Picnic in the spring. Many of our members actively participated in basketball and baseball. Our able advisers this year were Mrs. Stone, Miss Mitchell and Miss Buckner. The happy day came when the group of 56 was again shifted, this time to the Senior Coach with increased privileges and responsibilities. with Louise McCord, president, Dorothy Coleman, vice-president, Charlotte Bryant, secretary and Demarest Colfey, treasurer. Representatives were Mary Brown, Carolyn White, Layton Taylor and Claude Duff. Four persons from Pleasant View became passengers. The grade became steeper, the journey rougher but, ah, the glorious view as the Class of '46 looked out on Commencement Station, looming in the distance. We came to appreciate more fully the supervision given by Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Steward. The Seniors who had been fellow travelers during the long journey became even more closely united in school spirit and class bonds. During the year, the main stops were made for the Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance and Senior Play. We successfully passed the examiners on our baggage of Knowledge and we now stand ready for final transfer. At Commencement Station, we regretfully leave the Senior Coach to become passengers on various roads leading through the Valley of Opportunity to cities of Success, Fame and Worthy Achievement.
