If your class is planning a 2018 class reunion, be
sure to let us know and we will add it to our
Website under Events. Or if
your class meets for lunch or dinner during the
year, we will also post your schedule.
Biographies needed: Share what you have been doing
(work, hobbies, vacations, marital status or just
whatever) for the last 30 – 60 years with other MHS
Alumni. Go to Alumni
Biographies.
According to
Amqui Station, the first Hillbilly Day was 10
October 1953. "Ladies get out your calico dresses
and men get out your overalls because you're going
to need them on October the 10th (1953).”
It was a time when young and old would come out and
have a real good day. It was always the 2nd Saturday
of October. There was a parade every year with
several High School Bands, floats, clowns
participating; Fish Pond, Country Store and a
cakewalk (are we bringing back Memories yet?).
Gallatin Road was shut down. Guys would grow beards
and folks would dress-up like Hillbillies. The
Carnival was set-up down on Gallatin Road. MHS would
elect The Hillbilly Queen and The Attendants. Click here

Album.
Jesse Hutton ('82) has posted a video on You Tube
as a tribute to the Madison High Alumni who have gone on before.

For those of you who have not seen the Madison High
School building in the last 5 years, it has changed.
The building underwent a 10 million dollar renovation
during 2009. The Girls Gym is now the Band
Room/Chorus Room (was the Art Room). A new Entrance
was constructed on the back of the building and new
bleachers were added in the Boys Gym among many
other changes.
The new Wing (at the end of the old West Wing) has
been completed. Twelve new Classrooms have been
added. The “portables” are being removed.

The Purpose of Madison
High School
The
staff and students of Madison High School
believed that the purpose of the school was
to develop the student for successful
personal, social and economic living and
that the school should provide enriching
experiences so that the pupil would mature
in his mental processes, advance in an
understanding of and appreciation for his
social and cultural heritage and improve in
his use of the communicative tools;
speaking, reading, writing and listening and
grow in the formulation and practice of high
moral standards and ethical ideals.
ALMA MATER

And may you in Love abound.
CHORUS
Madison High, we Love you
dearly;
Proudly do we hail your name.
May your name go on before us,
Into Life's great hall of fame.
Open wide your doors of
knowledge
Welcome all who enter here.
gain in wisdom, joy and honor -
Stand for all we hold most dear.
CHORUS
Madison High, we Love you
dearly;
Proudly do we hail your name.
May your name go on before us,
Into Life's great hall of fame.
This is the singing of Madison
High School Alma Mater at a
final assembly program for
friends, alumni, faculty, and
the Madison Community. The day
was Sunday, May 5, 1985. This
was the conclusion of a program
featuring former school
administration and school board
officials. The Madison High
building was closed and later
reopened as a middle school. For
all of us that passed through
the doors at Madison we hold
some special memories. Our
neighborhood high school was
taken away but will always live
in our hearts as a great place
to grow up, fun times with
friends, and dedicated teachers
who really cared.
