Looking Back . .
Looking back over the many years of school the
memories are abundant. Some of the memories warm
our hearts or bring a smile while others bring tears to
our eyes. The graduating class of 1984 has had its share
of both. There was a time when we were all young and
carefree, but now we are faced with the world and all
the reality it contains.
The teachers at Madison will never' be forgotten.
Those who believed in us and helped us through the
rough times because they really cared will bring plea
sant memories to mind. The teachers helped shape our
lives and build our character. They taught us how to
deal with reality and contribute to society.
The friendships which have been shared by the
graduating class will remain throughout the years. We
may all have come from different areas and from dif
ferent environments, yet we have melted into one as
the senior student body of Madison High. We have
shared our hopes and ckeams, our triumphants and
defeats as we grew into adults. We have grown
together with help from one another. Even though we
may drift apart when we go our separate ways we will
alaways be as on in heart.
School years are supposed to be the best years of life
and certainly for the graduating class of 1964 they will
long be treasured as we take our places in society.
Seniors Name Ramsey
Teacher Of The Year
By ANNETTE THOMAS
The senior class of 1964 has
selected Francis Ramsey as the
teacher of the year. Miss Ramsey
teaches World History and Ar
cheology, and is presently the
sponsor of the Beta Club.
Miss Ramsey is one of the mast
popullar teachers at Madison
High and all the students have a
high opinion of her. She's kind,
witty and creative in class, mak
ing assignments interesting for
her students. I have Miss
Ramsey for World Cultures and I
think she's an excellent teacher.
She's a real artist when it comes
to drawing maps or giving ex
amples of how people lived
throughout hiatory.
Miss Ramsey is a graduate of
Western Carolina University with
a Bachelor of Arts degree in
Social Studies. She has been
teaching for ten years.
Everyone in school knows that
Miss Ramsey loves anything and
everything that has to do with
Garfield, the comic strip cat.
The Class of 1964 made a good
choice in naming Miss Ramsey
the teacher of the year. Con
gratulations, Miss Ramsey.
Farewell , Grads
By JULIE MEEKS
On Friday evening, Madison
High School will bid farewell to
the inspiring Class of 1964 as they
take a step through the doors at
opportunity when they receive
their diplomas.
The seniors that are the Class
of 1964 have offered juniors a
challenge. They've given the
sophomores a reprieve and were
the idols of the freightened
freshman class. The Class of 19M
also helped the teachers tighten
their vocal cords as they prepare
for next year's rowdy class.
Without the Class of 1964,
Madison High wouldn't have been
the fun it was this year. The Class
of 1964 offered enthusiasm at the
pep rallies, outstanding competi
tion in the intramurals program
and acted as partners in the
Junior-Senior Prom.
The graduation march will be a
trip down Memory Lane for the
graduates and their families.
Graduation Day is a time to
remember, a moment to recall
the four long years of work, hard
ships, laughs, teachers, friends
and lessons learned.
Once the graduate has taken a
step with his ir her new diploma,
they may feel alone in such a
large world. In time, we all taste
the sweetness of success and the
bitterness of defeat. The
graduate faces a brave new
world, armed only with the
lessons learned on the way to
Graduation Day.
I wish all the graduates a long,
successful and happy life, one is
which lofty goals are set and
reached.

Four Years Of Memories
As the members of the
graduating class of 1964 look back
upon their highlights at Madison
High School, they realize that
what seemed to be the hardest
course, roughest teacher,
scariest bully, most embarrass
ing moment, or best friend, all
were part of molding together
what is now the "Senior". The
name with all the glory that
stands behind it means more than
just ending the high school years.
It stands for adventure in the
future, job plans, fathering your
education, choosing whatever
lifestyle is in reach.
High School days are a rare
few, but dealt with wisely are the
most vividly remembered. An en
trance to school with dedication
is shown, andf an exit with distill
ed pride follows each student as
he crosaes the atage to receive
the diploma he has so ateadUy
worked towards. Fond memories
and beautiful dreams of the
future fill each Senior's mind as
be realizes that the real world is
out there, waiting to be grasped
in the hands of a new awareness.
The many fond memories will
hold steady in the mind of every
graduating Senior and will be
called upon many, many times
after all caps are tossed and
celebrations of graduation com
pleted.
What does it really mean to be
a senior? Does it mean you are
