s QJCTVUFQS . 't '75s-6'-7554 611155 I tary Four years ago in September of 19-19 a group of seventy very excited boys and girls stepped through the doors of Madison High School. Wfith us came the Intelligence students whom we had met in the eighth grade. Meeting new friends all the time, we greeted the students from Huntsville, who came to join us and made our class larger. XVith the help of our Freshman sponsors, Mr. R. H. Cure and Mrs. G. T. Martin, we finally found our way around without any broken bones. lt was fun getting familiar with the new routine of School work because we had never changed classes before. Wfe were very proud when Faye Shelton was third runnerup in the Miss Madison High contest our Fresh- man year. The class officers were Mike Spear, Presidentg Ray Shelton, Vice Presidentg Linda Cardwell, Secretary- Treasurerg and jerry Brown, Reporter. During our Sophomore year under the guidance of Miss Elizabeth Epps and Mrs. Betty Fagge, we gave the Seniors a weiner roast at lwlasons Pond near Madison. Everyone enjoyed it and we had loads of fun. Wfe also went to the Morehead Planetarium and toured the University of North Carolina under the direction of the Biology teacher, Mr. M. S. Moore. Another great event was carrying the daisy chain dur- ing graduation for the Seniors. Everyone enjoyed gath- ering the daisies and making the chain. This year Pat Swann was third runner-up in the beauty contest. Our class officers were Mike Spear, President, Herbert Col- lins, Vice Presidentg Siggie Smith, Secretary, Linda Credwell, Treasurer, and Faye Shelton, Reporter. All too soon the summer of 1951 was over and we came back a little happier with the thought of being next in line to a graduating class. Wfe had to work harder and with the help of our Junior sponsors, Miss Elizabeth Davis and Miss Maude Webster, we did a good job, although we realized our class had grown smaller. Shouts of joy were heard in the halls when we received our class rings. Everyone has enjoyed wearing them and will continue to enjoy them in the future. This was the year we were to give the junior- Senior Banquet. After some debating we decided on the Plantation Supper Club in Greensboro. We had fun making the money at cake sales, selling T-shirts, giving a dance, sponsoring a movie, and operating the concession stand at home football games. This year also held a most exciting event. Our candidate, Miss Linda Cardwell, won the title of Miss Madison High. Our class officers were Siggie Smith, Presidentg Her- bert Collins, Vice President, Pat Swann, Secretary, and Linda Cardwell, Treasurer. Yflfhen the school year of 1932-53 began, we entered high school with the thought of making this the best year. Immediately we began raising money for the Annual under the leadership of Mr. M. R. Rich, jr., who has been a great help to us. Our class officers were Siggie Smith, President, Pat Swann, Vice Presi- dent, Linda Cardwell, Secretary, Faye Shelton, Treas- urer. XX7e were proud when our candidate, Faye Shel- ton, won the title of Home-Coming Queen and Siewers Wall won the trophy for the most outstanding football player. We thank the juniors for the splendid banquet given in our honor. It couldn't have been enjoyed or appreciated more! Thus ends our four years of trials and tribulations, joys and sorrows, laughter and tears. We sincerely hope that our future history will mean as much to us and be as happy and successful as our past four years have been. -ALMA NEXVNAM Hf.ff07'I1l7I 611155 Praplzffcy One rainy afternoon in New York City in late No- vember, 1955, Dorothy Wfall rushes into a small res- taurant to get out of the rain when she suddenly sees a familiar face.
