FOREWORD . . . This is the MAHISCO for the School Year 1966- 67! We who have worked endless hours in its prepara- tion hope that it will truly become a Chalice of Bright Memories for the experiences of school days in Legendary Madison High School. As you turn its pages in the after-years, may it tug at every heart with abiding associations and happiness. Then we wish for you to notice that, over and beyond the traditional purposes, we have sought to gather up and preserve some of the priceless cultural establishments of an earlier day. Here where the cotton bloomed and the slaves sang, there sprang up the broad plantations and manorial mansion atop the hill . These and other aspects of the economy dominant in the cotton age , we have included for you and those who, in due time, will follow you. We hope all this helps you estab- lish a true perspective of history and an appreciation of the days of yesterday. The thought has come to us that a few vignettes from the current scene may serve a useful purpose when today has become yesterday and tomorrow has become today: Governor Claude Kirk, the first Republican in 96 years, turning up at his inaugural ball with Erika Mattfeld, a beauteous Brazilian of German birth on his arm who became his and Florida's first lady, February 19, 1967 ... all in an atmosphere of total surprise . Locally, Alexander Hamilton Wade, Mr. Alec, celebrating his 93rd birthday, March 4, with a seven day work week as Deputy Sheriff. The controversies raging over Vietnam War . . . Mrs. Lyndon Baines Johnson, Lady Bird pushing mightily for tree planting along the highways of America . . . Actor Ronald Reagan beating the Living Tar out of The Democrats to become Governor of California . . . Senator Everett Dirksen, briefly stepping aside from politics, to make recording that made him both famous and much money. And so we give you our brain child -- all done with your help! We hope once again, that its treas- ures may grow richer and richer as the years come and go. 2

I A popular pastime for M.H.S. students is playing football in the bowl during lunch. After lunch some of the more conservative stu- dents can be found as they discuss the issue of the day. !JlCemorlaf.................. 0 urricufum.................. faculty ancf Jlc minlstratlon Cj asses...................
