The pop diva attended Rochester Adams High School in the 1970s, acted in plays and was a member of the cheerleading squad.
Madonna’s school friend Laurie Snow is selling a 1975 Rochester Adams yearbook, which includes a photo of a young Madonna and even a limerick rhyme that Miss Ciccone dedicated to Laurie. The price for a unique lot starts from $3,500. The Daily Mail writes about it.
Madonna is featured in the 1975 Rochester Adams High School Yearbook. It contains several shots of the future superstar, including a photo of the black-haired singer dancing on stage.

Then Madonna was 17 years old. With the owner of the yearbook, she studied for several years, and, apparently, they were friends. Madonna even dedicated a limerick to Lori, in which she called her a “great girl” and mentioned that she was “good at sex.”
“Besides the fact that you have a beautiful voice and disposition, you have a great breed! Come back to Rock Chester and visit me. I think of you and miss you (Honestly). Good luck, Madonna,” the future singer wrote in the yearbook .
In the documentary “Truth or Dare,” Madonna said that she enjoyed writing funny poems for her school friends.
Madonna’s last name was misspelled

It is noteworthy, but Madonna’s surname is misspelled. Years later, this was one of the reasons why she stopped using it, making her own name her stage name.
Madonna gained popularity only in 1983, when she released her debut album.

Recall that Madonna Louise Ciccone studied in Catholic schools and was in the cheerleading team of the basketball team. She graduated from high school at a secular school, where for the first time she did not wear a school uniform and played in theatrical productions. The future star was an excellent student, although sometimes her behavior outraged her father, who was a Catholic and adhered to strict views.
Madonna graduated from high school as an external student in 1976, six months before her final exams. And she continued to study dancing at the University of Michigan, moving to Ann Arbor. Because of this, she finally quarreled with her father, who wanted her to become a lawyer, or a doctor.
The family, including brothers and sisters, did not support Madonna. Recently it became known that her older brother Anthony died in poverty. The singer repeatedly offered him help, but he refused every time.
