MADISONIAN Jlisitorp ot Class When we graduated from grade school in 1924 our motto was: “Wc have crossed the harbor, the ocean lies before us. On the; first of September. 1924, we were placed on board the ship “Freshman,” as beginners just starting out on the long voyage in search of Education. insor was the C aptain and the teachers made up the crew. The ocean was very calm with only an occasional storm. T he ship “Sophomore, as it sped along and looked back upon our feeble but persistent efforts to make progress, mocked us for being so green about the handling of the ship. About January 12, 1925. a storm was beginning to brew, and on the 13th it was raging furiously, but by thorough study and careful guidance we passed through the storm safely. In May there was another terrific storm, but we were not so frightened now for we were more experienced with the ways of the ocean. Then after the storm, came fair weather and cpiiet. When September came again we were promoted to another ship “Sophomore.” This was stronger and more able to with- stand the storms. We were also more accustomed to the hand- ling of the ship. The captain and his mates warned us that we must stick to our work in order to accomplish our goal which was Education. Another year passed, and we were again promoted, this time to the “Junior” ship. Captain Winsor and the rest of the crew had a hard time teaching us. but they were very patient, and we were eager to learn. The Senior year was fair with very little storm. In May. great was our jov when we sighted land. Education. I hat was our destination and at last we had reached it. Soon we will part and set out. each in our own ship to find Success.” With great perseverance and courage, we will some day achieve the end of our journey, “THE LAND Ob SI C- CESS.” Elsie Perry. 1 9 2 8 y Page sixteen

irTsxirTsxir ii MADISONIAN iFS S E N I O R S EUGENE SWIGERT It seems so funny, yet so absurd, I’ll tell you in this rhyme, No matter what time I start for school, I can’t get there on time. o o o SOPHIA PARKER I never do get excited, I never fret or frown. Whenever any help is needed, I’m always to be found. o o o ELSIE PERRY I’m young and bashful as you see, But furthermore, I know Some bashful girls have gained re- nown, Because they have no foe. o o o HELEN POLETTE I am so different from the rest. So smart and yet so shy, To think that I must leave this school. And sadly say “good-bye.” o o o HELEN STOISIN My greatest pleasures are over, Right here, I'll have to quote, Because I’ll never have a chance, To write another note. o o o JOHN ULFFERS The only worry that I have, Of leaving school this year, Will someone kindly take my place. And study, as I have here? 19 2 8 Page fifteen
