Madison, as every school, has many tradi- tions which have been carried on through the years. Among these old traditions are the ele- mentary pupils taking their first music lessons, students exchanging pictures, girls wearing boys class rings in many different ways, and that age-old tradition of eating. One of the purposes of the school is to encourage the proper physical development of her students through the teaching of good health and safety habits. Using safety belts in the drivers’ training car, buying fruit instead of candy, and getting enough physical exer- cise help to fulfill this purpose. Even though this is the end of high school training at Mad- ison the friendships and traditions will al- ways be remembered. Tom Odiorne watches Robert Flatt as he demonstrates the correct procedure of fastening safety belts.
