HISTORICAL SKETCH The Madison High School was organized in the fall of 1903. This was prob- ably the weakest time in the history of Madison, because the people were just re- vocering from the flood which swept the Tri-City area in the previous summer. The school started with two teachers. Miss Sarah Megowen and Mr. Louis Baer, the latter being the superintendent of schools in Madison. There were fourteen students the first year, and only the first two years of high school work were of- fered. The first high school was located in a small room and a hall of the Harris School. On November 13, 1914, the present high school building was dedicated. There was more room in the building than was needed by the high school itself so two rooms were used for the primary and second grade work, and two rooms were used for the eighth grade. However, in a few years the enrollment increased so much that all the rooms were needed by high school classes. In 1929 the present gymnasium and auditorium combined wo» w uit, and the upper floor of the high school building was remodelled to make more classrooms. The old gym was taken over by the shop. Several years after the high school in- spector refused to acknowledge the Home Economics facilities in this school build- ing, the school board rented a building on Fourth street for the use of the Home Economics Department. The Board then purchased our former mayor, Mr. Garasche's home and since then our Home Ec. department has occupied this home. Recently a new athletic field and adjoining land was purchased for $65,000 for the 20 acres of land. At present an $800,000 bond issue has been approved by the voters of Madison for a new high school adjacent to the athletic field and improvements at several other schools in school District 127. It calls for a gymnasium with a seat- ing capacity for 2000, an auditorium, a cafeteria and other modern conveniences that will make Madison High one of the best high schools in this state. 5
