dtoAA, SJti twuf Freshmen — We were officially in high school now and felt that we were pretty big, although, actually, some of us were rather small in size. Our class officers were Bob Booth, President; Wanda Atkin, Vice-President; Ronnie Stella, Secre- tary; Dick Schaepe, Treasurer; and Student Council Representative, Russel Warner. We had two money making activities. The first was the Soc Hop, in which everyone came and danced in his socks and casual clothes — More Fun! !. We also held a Christmas Dance at H.N.K. School with a notable orchestra playing. Everyone came in their Sunday bests, and spent a very enjoyable evening dancing. A class party was held at the High School but not too many attended. Those w'ho did come had a lot of fun playing games, and also, we girls taught the bashful boys how to dance. Our class picnic was held at Madison Township Park. We were very sorry to see the ye r come to a close, but we looked forward to another successful year. Sophomores — We are aging! Now we have au- thority to push the Freshmen around, but of course we were very considerate and pushed very lightly. Our class officers for this year were Gene Walker, President; Nancy Dixon, Vice-President; Kathy Jakse, Secretary; Don Dodge, Treasurer; and Student Coun- cil Representatives were Larry Donaldson and Jerry Fedele. We held three money making events this year. First, the annual Talent Show—Boy, some talent! A Daisy Mae Dance was held at the High School. The girls asked the fellas and we danced in Rags.” Last of all, we held a Skating Party at Austinburg, which proved to be very successful. This year our picnic was held at Tuttle Park. Juniors — This year was our busiest year as far as money making went. We had to put on a successful Prom for our wonderful friends — the Seniors” Our class officers were Bob Booth, President; Mary Peterson, Vice-President; Sue Greene, Secretary; Bar- bara Willm, Treasurer; and Janet McIntosh, Larry Donaldson, and Barbara Bush represented us in Stu- dent Council. We sold magazines, fruit cakes, candy, and held bake sales. Our basketball homecoming was held at North Madison School Gym, with Tommy Edwards WERE’’ disc-jockey, playing records. Nancy Dixon was crowned queen, while her attendants were Sandy Bukky, Barbara Zellers, Barbara Hasse, and Sally Mavko. Our class party was held at the High School. Our Junior Play, directed by Mr. Theodore Grafel, was one of the biggest events of the year. Everyone who worked with the play really had fun! Play prac- tice evejy night kept us busy, but the performances showed that we had not worked in vain, for the cast was well commended for an excellent job. At last the Big Night arrived — Junior-Senior Prom —May 21st, held at the Madison Country Club. Phil June’s eight-piece orchestra really made a hit!! The dance floor was beautifully decorated with roses, for our theme Moonlight and Roses.” Following the Prom, the Post-Party was held at the Elks Club in Painesville until four-thirty A. M. After breakfast we all went home and slept the rest of the weekend! Our class picnic was held at Township Park. Seniors — The big year has arrived! We are dig- nified, glorious, Seniors.” Oh — do we think we're something! We are the first Senior class to have such a new and modern addition to our school. It was just like going to a new school, for we had to become adjusted all over again and what fun we had exploring all the new rooms and new equipment. Our class officers this year are Nancy Dixon, Presi- dent; Rita Bebout, Vice-President; Norma Bukky, Secretary; and Sue Greene, Treasurer. Our representa- tives to Student Council are Barbara Bush, Sue Greene, Russel Warner, and Bob Booth. On October 19 and 20 we, very proudly, made our way to Hunter’s Studio and posed for our Senior Picture ” This really proved to us that we had at last made the grade ” For many of us, this was rather a sad venture, for we knew now that we were in our last year and though many plan to go to college, still the chances of being together again seem very vague. We started the school activities with the Football Homecoming held November 4, at Homer Nash Kim- ball School. Mary Jean Roper was crowned queen, and her attendants were Sue Greene, Nancy Gibbon, Nancy Dixon, and Barbara Bush. Phil June’s four- piece orchestra furnished the music for dancing. This was a very happy occasion for all the seniors for we had won the game, and were almost sure of capturing the 1956 League Championship, which we did the next week by beating Wickliffe —What a game!! By the way, while we’re on the subject of Football,” we are very proud to say that the Blue Streaks were defeated only once during the whole season, and then, only by one point. We were also the first Madison team to win the championship with a nine-team league.” I think the boys deserve a pat- on-the-back, don’t you? Congratulations Boys! Our class party was held March 9, at the high school. We danced, and of course ate refreshments. On April 2, our band members left us for a week to parade at Washington for the Cherry Blossom Fes- tival. We missed their melodious music ringing through the corridors during 5th period, but were glad they could attend such an honored affair. Our Senior Class Play was held in April, under the direction of Mrs. Trescott. This play also required much time and considerable effort from the cast, but again the results were very good. We never thought we would see the day — but we did — June 5th — COMMENCEMENT” — Yes, our high school days are over, and as we look back on all the parties, get-togethers, and games, it is difficult for us to realize that we will soon be going our separate ways. All our victories and triumphs will just be memories, but those memories will stay with us for- ever. Yes, never before had we really appreciated all the time, and effort spent on us by our teacher. It is due to their patience and willingness to teach us a few of the necessary things in life, that wre have graduated, and are able to face realism. To them, we owe a great deal of credit. So, as we leave our Alma Mater, we express our thanks to our advisors, and leave a word of advice to our underclassmen —Listen to your teacher, he might know just a little more than you think you know. We leave you now hoping to apply our class motto to our future careers — Today we follow; tomorrow we lead.”
