Walk down to that used car lot next to Jack's Auction. Harvey McArthur and Frank Cunningham will give you a good buy. What was that! Oh, a basketball . Our famous friends Lowell Carr, George Swee, Fred Limpert, Paul Myatt, and Bob Warbington, are still at it and are nationally known as the Barefoot Five. How successful can you get? Who is that with the horn rimmed glasses and her hair in a bun in the back? Looks like, couldnlt really be-it is! Sue Frazier! She is on a two week vacation from teaching the kinderagrten at Edison. There's that celebrity Jim Abbie Olsen. We hear he was the inspiration for the song Abbie's Irish Rosef' We knew it wouldn't take long for those gold diggers Doris Thorsby, Donna Mushrush, and Agnes Debski to get their hooks into the Ollila Brothers, those prosperous egg producers, and their delivery boy Frank Beaudoin. Nancy James keeps hearing bells ringing, and this time it is wedding bells. She and Paul have set the date. There's that Georgia man, Herman McGraw, chief caller of the square dances at the Grand Ole Operie. Finally Dave has arrived. In a flash we've taken off and are landing now. Looking through the widows, we see Marge Hamlin, Sara Napolitano, and Mary MacFarland, clearing the runway. They look stunning in those mokey suits. We have arrived. What a welcome! We certainly never expected anything like this. Her-e comes the mayor of this breath-taking planet. Do our eyes deceive us, or is it Earl Williams? It is. Now that we are settled on the planet for a pleasant stay, we conclude by telling the success of The Four : We got what we wanted out of life.

tbnrinuafions CLASS HISTORY With Mr. Peters and Mrs. Burns our advisors, how could anything go wrong? Here it is-the big dance all juniors look forward to-the J-Hop. What a scurrying around. We want- ed this J-Hop to be the best, but whether it was or not, everyone had a grand time. Oma Lee Hill made a lot of juniors happy by being elected Queen for Homecoming Day. Now, let the trumpets sound and the banners rise-hail the mighty seniors! This is it-every- body's goal, and we finally achieved it. We're the all-supreme seniors! This year we finally combined the two sections and the two homerooms elected Chuck Eilrich, president, Nick Labedz, secretary, Winnona Bat- tin, vice-president, and Sue Frazier treasurer. Lit- tle Sue is quite a money-mad girl. She was elected treasurer three times in a row. Dave Long and Donna Mushrush were the Student Senate mem- bers. The customary senior control of the cafeteria was a big help in our money-raising projects-and we sure could use the money! Mrs. Burns, our class advisor, reminded us of this many times. We organized a King and Queen contest for Homecoming Day which brought out many cam- paign and election promises. The annual magazine and greeting card sales also hauled in some extra cash. On February 21, 1950, the Donkey Basketball game was enjoyed by both spectators and players. Again, the seniors were all-mighty-beating the juniors in both the boys' and girls' contests. Now we are eagerly lookig forward to the Sen- ior play- Tattletale, which is shaping u-p to be another success if we can only learn the third act. On the coming agenda we are happy to look forward to the Senior Prom, the J unior-Senior Ban- quet, senior skip day, our senior trip, finally our graduation in June, 1950. Oh, yes, I almost forgot to mention a minor achievement--Lowell Carr made the first team on the all-SOC basketball squad. More luck to you, Lowell, and to the others who participated in sports and all the senior activities.

Came Mon- day night, and everything was done except the Madisonian staff report. How could this have hap- pened? Here it is Tuesday, and this has to be fin- ished by noon. The ad collectors are out working, the typists' fingers are flying, and at last it's fin- ished! We did have fun working on it though, and we hope the future staff writers don't run into our troubles.
