THE CALDRON, 1932 Class History The month of September 192£$ found a crowd of young ambitious people, hovering about the portals of Madison Memorial High School striving to gain admittance. Most of these applicants were admitted. All began industriously to work on a common project, our great ship “Education.” We studied during that first year about all the hazards which tend to wreck a ship and how to avoid them. We learned that low grades could be overcome bv perseverance and that one must be industrious all the time to gain altitude. Many of our crew took part in other activities besides the making of our great ship “Edu- cation.” Many entered the athletic fields, the glee clubs, the orchestra, the scholarship clubs, and the oratorical and reading contests. Although only beginners we did very well in all our activities. The first stage of our course was difficult and contained many hard knocks for some, but most of us passed joyfully onto the next stage, designing. During this part of our course we studied the plans of other great ships of education and from these ideas we designed our own. We found that low grades could be overcome by putting a good “backbone” in our ships, and “hard study” formed the gas bags by which wre were able to elevate ourselves in the stratosphere of “Good sense.” We were also introduced into the finer arts of aeronautics this period, dealing with the minute details of construction. We learned that if some brace is not foreseen, a guy rod left out, our good ship would all the sooner come to grief. Almost our whole crew entered in some out- side activity during this period. Many of them gained considerable recogni- tion. We were represented in nearly all the social functions, and considered ourselves lucky to have in our midst such a large number of talented people. This stage was considerably more difficult than the first; many became dis- couraged and had to be left behind; this, however, did not dishearten the rest of us, but acted only as an incentive for us to rise to still higher levels. It wras wTith such feelings and thoughts in mind that we passed on to the following episode of our cycle of building our “Education.” During this period we took up the art of making the different parts of our gigantic ship. It was very essential to cast them of good pure raw materials and strengthen them by the additional alloys. The “desire to learn” wTas the mainstay of our ship “Education”; combined with “hard work” we found we had an alloy hard to beat. We also learned that thoroughness was essential in this department, because wre were making the vitals of the great ship which wras to take us out into life and any shirking of duty might lead to the premature destruction of our plans for the future. As in preceding years our class was not to be out- done in events other than the routine curriculum. Our assembly programs were not surpassed by any, and not to mention the many football players, scholars, singers, typists and orators that emanated from our humble ranks. In spite of the fact that this year w as just as hard as the preceding ones Continued on page 5J+ twelve
