CQQAA J-Ilzltong, On September 16, 1939, fifty-seven green Freshmen eagerly entered North Madi- son High School for a four year trip through the wilderness of education. Eventually we became accustomed to finding our way around, and early in the year we organ- ized our class with Mr. Brandley as our sponsor. Our officers were: President .............. ..... B etty M01'gaT1 Vice-President .,.. Bernard Heitz Secretary .......... ..... C onnie Jackson Treasurer ...........,.........l.............................................. Beryl Heitz During the year we had several parties, the main one at Poplar Grove, Clifty. We were proud to have two of our class members, Pauline Sommer and Donald Lan- drum, elected the King and Queen of a carnival which the school sponsored that spring. The second year of our trip through high school began on September 16, 1940, with quite a decrease in our number. We organized our class with Mr. Hassfurder as our sponsor and the following officers: President .............,.................... .... P auline Sommer Vice-President .... ...... B ernard Heitz Secretary .......... ..... M arjorie Waltz Treasurer ...... ...... J eanne Hilbert Our officers for our Junior year were: President .....,.,...............,.,....,..... ..... N orman Jessup Vice-President ..... ...... B etty Morgan Secretary .....,.... ...... N orma Jones Treasurer ...... ...... J eanne Hilbert We elected Miss Mathews as our sponsor. ' Early in the year we began working very hard in order that we might have a prom. We sold magazines and Christmas cards. At noons we sold candy, and at bail games we sold candy, ice cream, and soft drinks. Under the able direction of Mr. Shoemaker, we presented the play, Spring Fever . The members of the play cast were: Alda Wehner, Jeanne Hilbert, Betty Francisco, Norma Jones, Beryl Heitz, Betty Morgan, Charles Lantz, Glenn Mason, Van Shelton, Harold Thieman, Norman Jessup, and John Bill Smith. On April 2, 1942, we entertained the Senior class with a semi-formal prom in the gymnasium. Our decorations were carried out in red, white and blue. At last came our Senior year! We were fewer in number and there were several new faces among the faculty. Our Senior officers were: President ....,......... .... N orman Jessup Vice-President ...... ..... P auline Sommer Secretary ........., ...... A lda Weliner Treasurer ..........,......................,.........,..,................. Norma Jones This year we again chose Miss Mathews as our sponsor, and with her help and that of the other faculty members we have reached our goal-graduation. We have now completed our trip through high school, and are ready for the future which is uncertain for many of us, but as we travel on through life, we shall remember the training given us during our high school trip and our motto: Find a path or make one .

Claws 'lflflllll VVe, the Seniors of 1943, being of sane mind and sound bodies and knowing the sorrow that will be felt by our leaving, make the following last bequests: I We, the Seniors, will to the Juniors our dignified ways. To the Sophomores, we, the Seniors, leave our wisdom and ability to aggravate the teachers. We, the Seniors, will to the Freshmen our determination to climb until our goal has been attaind. II I, Pauline Sommer, will my pleasant disposition to all those who think they need it. I, Mary Hinds, leave my ability to giggle to Dorothy Geyman, so that she can keep up with Anna Hoffmann and Barbara Galey. I, Charles Deputy, will my height to Marvin Wyne. Won't Marvin be popular with the girls now? I, Clara Mae Hoffmann, will my interest in Milton boys to Pauline Sams. This should be a satisfactory arrangement for Pauline. I, Glenn Mason, will my athletic ability to Harold Marsh. Another basketball star in the making. To Marjorie Clashman, I, Florence Hill, will my quiet ways. What a change in Marjorie! I, Betty Francisco, leave my position as editor of the Releef to June Gray. We, Van Shelton and Elvin Bramwell, will our quiet dispositions to Eddie Arthur and Henry Walkenhorst.

I, John Bill Smith, leave my athletic physique to John Patterson. We, Norma Jones and Norman Jessup, will our interest in each other to Norma Morgan and Raymond Hammond. We wonder if they need it?
