e H i 0 1 H i 1 0 1 If This page is dedicated to the senior class members of 1945 — a group that has been outstanding in scholarship, athletics, drama, music, and leadership. As green freshmen, we successfully completed our first year at Madison. We went through the usual state of hero-worship, and mental disorder at learning so much and finding out that we knew so little, but it was a happy and carefree time and we loved it. Our sophomore year brought us new plans for the future. The pep and enthusiasm of the class were especially keen. We won the scrap drive by a large margin, had four parties, and still were carefree in an educational sort of way. Dtitch McKenna made the Varsity that year; three drama students were in the school play; two were admitted into the Thespian Club; many went to the Music Contest; and two of the sophomores were elected Student Body Officers for the next year. We hailed our junior year with the vigorous hope of new freedom as upper classmen. Our scholastic standards remained high and our enthusiasm reaped its rewards. Dutch McKenna and Blair Arnold played forwards on the Varsity. Several students rated high in the Declamation Contest. Ruth Ccrdingley and Frances Craven took major parts in the school play. We entered the Music Contest and Declamation Contest, played an active part in M Day, and one of our junior classmates, Jacqueline Neeley, was elected as Miss Victory. Jeanne Skelton and Norma Jean Holley were Student Body Officers. Our Junior Prom and class parties were events to be proud of. Many juniors were elected Student Body Officers for ' 45, and we had our share of fun in the Pepper and K. K. K. initiations. Our class, somehow, was thinning down; the war was coming nearer, and some of the boys had already left. Our future was uncertain. Our senior year, however, erased some of the doubts and fears. We led the school in football, basketball, and dramatics. Ours was the power — we thought. Oh, we were smug, as all seniors have the right to be. A few of the activities in which we participated were the patriotic assembly at which the clever Senior Will was read, the dance, Senior Syncopation, and, as a highlight, our senior play, Thumbs Up, which was a glowing success, demanding a curtain call at the evening performance. At last, we thought, we should be able to look into our mirrors and see that ideal of our freshmen days, that hero whom we had worshipped so devotedly, but woe unto us! All we could see was that same face, a little more serious, perhaps, but our own. Now, it is hard to turn our backs to Madison and all that it means to us. However, we are prepared — come what may — with the highest of ideals, which our school has given us. Our one hope is that the future does not entirely erase all the pleasant, heart-warming memories we have acquired throughout the four years.
