Class History On September 3, 1947 we became the Freshman Class of Madison High School. Entering high school was an event we had looked forward to for eight years. The idea was a novelty to us because up until that time we had never changed rooms for different classes. Some of us thought that We could skip classes, run around and do nothing, but these are no longer with us. Some of us thought of high school as a place to catch boyfriends or girlfriends, but these have since married. Some of us strove hard to pass, taking things as they came, sweating through Mid-Term and Final exams, year after year. These are the Seniors of '51. Our Freshman sponsors were Mr. Cure and Miss Slate. Both did their utmost to set us on the right path. We shall always be indebted to them. Our class officers and leaders also did the best they could to lead us. We were capably guided under the direction of our Freshman Class Presi- dent, Paul Ed Webster. A year later, Barbara Stanfield became President of our Sophomore Class. Our sponsors were Miss Epps, and Mrs. Fagge. We were very glad for this year to come because we were not on the bottom rung of the ladder. We knew we were climbing, slowly but surely. The number in the class was smaller this year and it was the smallest class in school, but nevertheless our candidate of Homecoming Queen, Jean Snead, won. This was the year we carried the daisy chain. We had fun gathering the daisies and making the chain. We also gave the seniors a weiner roast which was en- joyed by all. Our Junior year found us publishing the 'Madison High News', under the direction of Mr. Null. The paper was a great success due to the fact that each member of the class worked toward its per- fection. Clyde Baker was President of the Junior Class. Our Junior contestant in the Homecoming Queen Contest, Joan Collins, won by a large majority making the second consecutive year that our contestant had won. Every junior looks forward to the Junior-Senior Banquet, our Junior Class was no exception. We sold cards, stationery, and candy to finance the Banquet. Everyone worked hard, including Miss Starnes and Mrs. Greene, the Junior sponsors, who did everything imaginable toward mak- ing our Banquet the best that Madison High had ever seen. The Banquet was held at the Bliss Restaurant in Greensboro, and from all reports it was enjoyed by all. We, too, thought that it was the best that our school had ever seen. At the end of school seven boys and girls were Marshals at the Commencement. Most of the girls were sunburnt due to the fact that we all went to Reynolds Park the last day of school. Finally September rolled around again and we found ourselves Seniors, with only half the num- ber that had started in September of 1947. T. P. Rumsey was elected President of the Senior Class. The Senior Class sponsored the second annual 'Miss Madison High Beauty Pageant', which turned out to be a far greater success than we had hoped for. Next came the Senior Class Play, 'Special Delivery'. We had fun at rehearsals and tryouts. A very large crowd attended and most everyone got a lot of laughs. From money we had collected from various sources, our class took a trip to Williamsburg Va., and Washington, D. C. The trip was pleasant, and seeing the old colonial buildings at Williams- burg and the Government buildings at Washington, filled each with a deep pride for his country, not easily forgotten. Chaperons for the trip were Mr. and Mrs. Null. Though small in number we worked hard in completing this Annual. Selling ads, writing ar- ticles, and the things that go into the work of publishing an Annual, we are proud to say that we have published the largest and best Annual of any Senior Class at Madison High. On May 30, 1951 we finished our stay at Madison High. We can hope that the rest of our lives can be as happy as the days and years spent here. By: T. P. Rumsey Class Historian li 1+ QI
