s3-f THE MADISONIAN As we trudge along the road to success with Helen Ilarsbany, President; Thomas Studebaker, Vice-President; Pearl Boyd, Sec- retary-Treasurer and Messrs. Kolie and Sprout as our Sponsors we intend to keep in mind our motto: ‘‘Honor lies in Honest Toil. —Pearl Boyd FRESHMEN We've started out the year with eighty, The rugged path to climb, And as we march on toward our goal, We hope to keep in line. We try our teachers to obey And each command to heed, And in behavior, I must say 1 think we take the lead. You ask who does the hardest work I'll tell you in a jiffy, When all the others answer “No” Up steps a bright, young Freshie. The Seniors, Sophs, and Juniors, too, All say we put things over, Before we leave dear M. II. S. You'll find we are not loafers. When we first entered Madison High, They called us, “Green but Growing,” But now they’ve learned to like us, Intelligence they are showing. —Maxine Werner PROFS 1 think that 1 shall never see A Prof who teaches perfectly. A Prof designed to satisfy The most exacting pupil's eye. A Prof with humor, pep and speed For these things are a teacher's need. A Prof unlike in every way The awful Prof's we have today. Prof’s become gray before they should, But only God can make US good! 19 2 9 Page twenty-five

FRESHMAN HISTORY On August thirty-first, ninety-one pairs of eager feet carried into the assembly what was to constitute the largest l-'reshman Class in the history of the Madison High School. Many were the sneers from the upper classmen as we made our stupid errors; but we were dauntless ami kept up the struggle until we had learned the ways of high school life. When the basketball season opened, our hearts were filled with pride and admiration, when we learned that one of our fel- 1 o'w-classmen, Paul Ivelio, was to be a sub on tin first team. We dearly loved and admired our teachers from the start, and if we have vexed them with our mischievous pranks, 1 a in sure we are all truly penitent. Haring the second semester, our Algebra teacher, Mr. sprout, sent his wife to teach us the “type forms,” while he spent several weeks in St. Elizabeth’s Hospital. The smallest teacher in our school, Mr. Delcour, decided that he needed a life partner, lie soon realized that a teacher’s salary would not furnish the luxuries for two; he left the teaching profession, and as a result we have Mr. Iblings on our faculty. Our Freshman Party, given February twenty-first, was a great success, due to the supervision of Miss Jessup and Mr. Kobe. 1929 Page twenty-four
