With twenty-four other fortunate recruits, I entered the Madison High School in 1916. Our oniy aim was to go through! After being at High for a few months, we found out that a freshman had to obey orders from others than his teachers and profs. Oh, those sophomores! Why, they though they were our supe- riors! And then, after we thought it over—they were only one year ahead of us! We entered upon our sophomore year with an enrollment of fif- teen. Although nine of our class had drifted away we were sure of holding the remaining fifteen until the termination of our high school career. Many times the thought of “falling back” occurred to us, but as we were so broad-minded (?) and had such strong determination, we finally decided to fight through our battles—some of which were very severe. But our “suffer-more” year socn came to its close and again a few of our members left the course. The following year we were enrolled as juniors—another stepping- stone toward success! During this term we encountered many difficult tasks, our studies being somewhat similar to those of our second year Thy modesty’s a candle to thy merit.—Mrs. Dodson Twenty
