 opfjomot e Class ii tstorp “The elevator to success is not running; use the stairs!” With this motto the present Sophomore class of the Madison High School started its career on September 1, 1926. Sixty-six students started on the climb up the stairs that September morning and forty-three are still climbing. We have not fallen nor have we been waiting for the elevator. By working hard our first flight of stairs was ascended. The students chosen to lead were: Dorothy Rohe. President; Viola Franklin, Vice-Pres- ident; Joe Blumenfeld. Secretary; John Toncoff. Treasurer. As class spon- sors we had Mrs. Stice and Mr. Snyder. By their aid the stairs were made less steep. '1 he second flight of stairs is harder, but we are continually climbing. The leaders of this year are: Eva Vasileff, President; Pansy Cook, Secre- tary and Treasurer. In athletics, we gained distinction by winning second place in the school indoor baseball contest and by having three of our boys chosen as “regulars” on the first team in basketball. Our sponsors are Miss Jessop and Mr. Rohe. e thank them most heartily for their help. We Sophomores hope that in the next two years our climbing will be completed and that we will he able to start on the climb for higher success in life- Eva Vasileff. Page twenty-eight

MADISONIAN far extended light of Knowledge. We have striven hard to keep within its rays and have succeeded in many of the tasks that have confronted us. We hope that we will continue in the footsteps of the classes that have preceded us, reflecting the loyalty, cheerfulness and patience of those dear to us, our teachers. This inspiration “try, try again” we are sure will guide us successfully next year and in the many years to come in such walksj of life as we may choose. Dorris Pillow. Juniors! The most distinguished class, to me, Is the Junior Class, All the virtues there, you’ll see, In this great class; Every member is a treasure, Seeking one another’s pleasure, All their value none can measure, Of the Junior Class. Pep and thrills—genius and skill, Help represent this class, The boys and girls of strongest will, In the Junior Class; Talent which so far surpasses, That of all the other classes, Wonderful the lads and lasses, Of the Junior Class. The stories well, we love to tell, Of the Junior Class, And all the ways where they excel Every other class: Vain attempt at her revealing. All their charms, so true, appealing, And no ills we are concealing. Of the Junior Class. Dorothy Hazner. 1 9 2 8 gygwB Page twenty-seven

You will always be down and out, If y'ou are swayed by fear or doubt, And will gain neither gold nor glory, By listening to others’ hard-luck story. There’s only one way you may win— Forget those doubts and plunge right in! Smile at the fears and work your best, Ne’er pausing till you’ve reached success. Seniors.
