Juniors of 27 The Juniors strive for livelong fame, To gain themselves undying name; The prestige of their former years Has heightened under-classmen’s fears. Stay on the straight but rugged trail, On crooked paths we all shall fail. Oh, Juniors! fellow classmen! friend! The crooked path can never end. On it you go from bad to worse; On you is nature’s endless curse, Take the path that leads to Heaven. You that leave in ’27. Russell VVedler. Page sixteen

THE MADISONIAN M Junior Class J tstorp The present Junior Class entered the Madison High School, forty- three strong, in the year 1923. We might boast forty-five, because it was also the first year for Mr. Winsor and Miss Robison. One can easily note, now, how essential the present Juniors, Mr. Winsor and Miss Robi- son, have become the Madison High School. The officers for the Fresh- man year were: Leonard Eaton, President; Lee Bonville, Vice-President; Georgia Drew, Secretary-treasurer. During our first year we were very ill at ease, and timid, because of the terrible tales we had heard in the grade schools of how the Fresh- men were treated by the upper-classmen. However, our fears were not realized, and we are still living. We returned for our second year to find that our number had dwin- dled to twenty-four, several new ones having been added, while some of our old classmates had stopped school, or moved from the city. The “soph” year was one of enjoyment, mixed with hard study and work. However, we had entered into the high school social life, which is much better than being frightened and nervous Freshies. The officers during this year were: Edmond Cook, President; Gerald Hartley, Vice-Presi- dent; Georgia Drew, Secretary-treasurer. Our third and present year in the M. H. S. found us with only twenty enrolled. The year to date has been one of hard work and social life. The officers for this year are: Edmond Cook, President; Cleda Stein, Vice-President; Lee Bonville, Secretary-treasurer. The Juniors during their three years in Madison High have been prominent in athletics and literary activities. For the three years we have placed two men in major and minor letter baseball; during the Sophomore and Junior years, five men have received basket-ball letters— one for major basket-ball for two years; in track two Juniors were in- cluded on the team, and others have made use of the tennis courts. The Junior girls who have received the “M” for sports are Cleda Stein, Reva Bowman and Ruth Street. The Junior boys who have received M’s for sports are John Broomfield, Lee Bonville, Russell Runkel, Gerald Hartley, William Schaefer, and Steve Prusak. Lee Bonville. 19 2 6 Page seventeen
