I FOOD FOR VULTURES. one must have a certain amount of selfishness of soul and prejudice of heart, and many others all which were long ago set aside by the in- telligent in life as being unfair, unjust, unkind and uncharitable, hence have been branded,—obsolete, relics of a civilization more bar- borous and less fraternal than is this. We reserve our final word for the discussion of the child whom the parent allows to do as he pleases,and whom the parent wants to do as the child pleases in school and other-wheres. They never succeed in life. They always fail, for it is an eternal law of heaven that they who have never learned to obey shall never be permitted to command. Why not, then, should he not be relined when he comes home instead of sympathizing with him. What can be expected of him when he re- turns to school the next day? Only further disobedience and further trouble,—only further preparation for the down fall that awaits him sooner or later. And this might apply to a girl also. Reconciliation.

Sophomore History. “Little, but Mighty”, is the term applied to the 1907 class. Although the smallest in numbers it is one of the most prosper- ous. The members have worked untiringly during the past school year and they are well prepared to advance into the places of the Juniors of this year. The class was enlarged early in the year by the entering of Lawrence Hull and Merrell Wood, in school. The Sophomores were represented in all the forms of school life. Wood and Hul. playing on both the football and baseball teams. The girls are very few in number. There being only two. Marion Rood and Margurite Lynch. Nothing is lost, however, for these two charming young ladies.take the place of a dozen others. The Sophomores have not had much trouble this year,except a few instances. In the fall the class, with the Seniors left school in a body on account of cutting the flag rope. There are several first class artists among them. They demoni6- trated their skill upon the fences surrounding the campus one night and the next morning the residents of Madison were surprised to see the inscriptions in mammoth white letters, “’07”—“Down with the Freshies,” etc, adorning their barns and fences. The class is represented in nn agricultural field, having “Wick” Hathaway, and “Heine” Beekenbach as representatives of tillers of the soil. “Ru fiber1 ’ St. John, of P.H.S., is con tern pi a ting entering school next fall. If rumor is true the football team will be greatly strength- ened, for it will be remembered that he is the renowned right guard that Madison played as a ringer at Geneva last fall on that bleak November day. Of course it must not be known that he is a profes- sional, for the board would not let him enter. So keep it to your self. This summer will find most of the class in Madison. Lawrence Hull expects to return to his home in Missouri, wrhile Wood will go to Virginia. President—Margurite Lynch.

Freshman H istory. On September 12, ’04, at about 8 o’clock in the morning fifteen very intellectual looking children entered the high school room. At their head stalked a young giant with auburn hair. You probably recog Ip nize in this youth no other than “Dutch” Brockway, now a sailor boy. Under his arm he carried a slate, CQ t 1 sponge and a speller. Closely following their leader 2 came a troop of girls some having a hold of hands and every one eith- er eating peanuts or chewing gum. The rear was brought up by two studious looking gentlemen, Kellogg and Gilbert. Hall was industri- ously studying a book, “How to Act in the High School,’’while Georgit? was eating Mellen’s Food. Mr. von Beseler conducted each one to his seat and set them to work copying a sentence which he wrote on the board. For the first month or two the Freshies did not settle down to hard study. They could not understand how anyone could sit up at night and study, but they soon became used to it and towards the last of the year some of the Freshies developed - into fine scholars. “Dutch” distinguished himself on numerous occasions by his oratory. In the scientific field the class is represented by George Gilbert, an an electrician of skill. George can also climb flag poles. Eunice Gil- bert, Bessie Phelps, Mildred Dayton, Evata Winans, Florence Quayle, Gladys Thomas and Gladys Kimball represent the class in the musical line. We wish to compliment the class on the number of muscians. Hall Kellogg is the athletic representative of the class, being a base- ball player of much importance. Some people have an idea that ‘ ‘Runt’ ’ Hull belongs to the freshman class on account of his lihputian stature and because he is seen a gsat deal of the time with the girls of the class. This is a wrong idea as “Runt” is a Soph, (see the Soph his- tory for particulars) When the Sophomores and Seniors were out of school on account of class fights, George Gilbert also left school and became chief engi- neer of the Soph-Senior organization. The Freshman class is the largest in the High School and if they all continue to attend school and finish the course it will be.one of the largest classes ever graduat- ed here. George Gilbert and Frank Brockway did not finish this year, but they expect to return next fall and to resume their studies. Keep at it little Freshies, study hard and you will all be great men and reat women some day. Class Yell. Rah! Rah! Rah! Sir! We want our Ma, Sir! Class Colors : Red and White.
