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. That will be good news for the teachers! I, Beryl Heitz, will my graceful walk to Mary Clashman. I, Ada Wehner, will my ability to get a diamond ring to Shirley Littell. Better get busy, Shirley. I, Charles George, leave my ability to get through school without studying to Warren Badger. You can stop studying now, Warren. I, Jeanne Ann Hilbert, will my calmness to Frances McFadden. See Harold Thie- man for tips, Frances. I, Betty June Jackson, will my ability to flirt with all the boys to Nina Bram- well, Don't be bashful, Nina. I, Kathryn Stephan, will my broken heart to Dolores Goley. You have my sym- pathy, Dolores. I, Harold Thieman, leave my business ability and position as chief mimeographer to Marshall Thomas. To be ,businesslike your mind must be on your work, Marshall. I, Betty Morgan, will my musical ability to Juanita Brinson. I, Dorothy Norisez, will my smallness to those girls who like small boys. I, Bernard Heitz, will my smile to Edward Hill. That's what wins the girls, Ed! I, Edna Stewart, will my blonde hair to Anna Frances Shelton. I, Kenneth Price, will my supply of chewing gum and my knack for chewing it to Russell Lory. Due to the scarcity of gum, Russell should appreciate this. I, Marjorie Waltz, will my love for wearing green to the girls who always wear blue. I, Betty Born, leave my position at Morris' to my sister, Dorothy. 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?

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 .

CQQAA Clgnobo hee? For the Senior class of '43, what does the future hold? Will all their hopes and dreams come true.as each one nears his goal? Let's look ahead and see each one as they are 'in years to be. And we'll find out what happened to this class of '43. Edna Stewart is a lawyer who makes her clients squirm. Betty Francisco is a model for the Leroy Humphrey firm. Dorothy Norisez, as you guessed, wed Captain Robert Stark. Bernard Heitz and John Bill Smith have a warehouse in New York. Mae Hoffman lives in Milton. She always liked that town. Betty Jackson still is single. Will she ever settle down? We are proud of Norman Jessup. He's a very famous preacher. ' Norma Jones, his little wife, is a Primary Sunday School teacher. .I Mary Hinds is working hard making' airplane parts. When Alda Wehner wed Glenn Burke, she caused pain to many hearts. Van Shelton, the professor, resides in New Orleans. Elwin Bramwell is a cook. His specialty is beans. Marjorie Waltz, who always took so much pride in her hair. Now owns a beauty parlor. She has customers to spare. The richest woman in the world is Betty Born, they say. Betty Morgan, the musician, has no time for play. Harold Thieman is a doctor with Jeanne Hilbert for a wife. Jeanne also is his office girl. They lead a happy life. Frances Cuvler, at last, is a well known poet. She really is a genius, although she doesn't know it. Glenn Mason joined the Navy and helped us in the war. Kenneth Price helped in the Army. They're both known wide and far. Beryl Heitz is a typist with Roy Stewart for a boss. Florence Hill runs a greenhouse. She raises ferns and moss. Pauline Sommer is a nurse who is known and loved by all. Cha1'les Deputy, an acrobat, has never had a fall. Charles George, at last, has settled down, never more to roam. It's just a four room cottage, but to him it's home sweet home . As I look into my crystal ball at this, my high school class. I wish the very best of luck to every lad and lass. I hope the things that I've foretold for them are what they want to be. But if they're not, I'm asking' this- Don't take it out on me!
