a great success, and our wiener roast was the best ever. In ath- letics we just can't be beaten, and we are proud of John Toncoff, our clever basketball captain and “all star athlete. Our Sponsors this year are Miss Jessup and Mr. Reich; and our class officers—David ('onnole, President; Richard Differs, ico-President; John Toncoff, Secretary and Treasurer. If all co-operate as well next year as in the past, we are con- fident that our Senior year will be even more successful and the last step in our career one to he remembered. —Dorothy Rohe “WE JUNIORS” When we Juniors came to High School And walked through the entrance door, We wondered, as all Presides, Just what there was in store. We were looked upon as “Ureenies” As Presides always are, But convinced the upper classmen That we were not “flat tires.” ANith the excellent help of our teachers, We gained some very high scores, A new year dawned at last And we were Sophomores. But during our Sophomore year The time passed all the sooner, And when school again reopened entered full-fledged Juniors. Next year we will he Seniors And when we graduate in May, lOach one of our true classmates W'ill have life’s part to play. And when we think of school days As students always do, We heartily thank each teacher Por the work they helped us do. —Arvel Price 19 2 9 Page twenty-one

■4-f THE MADISONIAN JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The first step of our career as high school students, began when a group of sixty-six Freshmen gathered in the assembly of Madison High with the hope of finishing what they had started. Our first year was a very busy one, getting acquainted with students, upper classmen laughs to be subdued, and Algebra to be conquered. These things we did faithfully under the excellent supervision of our sponsors, .Mrs. Stive and Mr. Snyder, and our class officers—Dorothy Kobe, President; Viola Franklin, ice- 1'resident; Joe Blumenfeld, Secretary; and John Toncoff, I reas- urer. We are proud to say that our first year was a very encour- aging one. The second year found us more eager than ever. Many had left us, but with vigor we conquered this liability. Our members co-operated splendidly and three of our boys gained distinction in athletics. Our success this year was largely due to our sponsors, Miss Jessop and Mr. Rohe, and class officers Eva asileff, President; John Toncoff, Vice-President; Pansy Cook, Secretary and Treasurer. This year, our Junior year, has been the best in our career. Our work has shown more spirit than ever Indore, and we have “put over” many activities. Our class play, “Re an Optimist,” was Page twenty 19 2 9

THE MADISONIAN SOPHOMORE HISTORY Un September sixth, nineteen hundred twenty-seven, fifty-six Freshmen entered the M. 11. S. As we entered tin auditorium to take our choice of seats, tin Seniors seemed to have the laugh on us; then we understood that we were considered “greenhorns.” When we wore seated and peace prevailed throughout the assem- bly, Mr. Winsor, who proved to be our life-saver, explained the bell system to us. My, but the Seniors were downhearted! He had de- prived them of a laugh. After exams we had a Freshman l'arty which was a success. At the close of the second semester some students dropped by the wayside; others kept pushing on toward “Success. Our class Spon- sors were Mr. Delcour and Mr. Winsor. The class officers were: Lloyd Williams, President; Adam Zentgraf, Vice-President; Itichard Mefford, Secretary-Treasurer. On September sixth, nineteen hundred twenty-eight, forty-eight Sophomores came trooping back, while several dropped out com- pletely.
