Madeira High School - Mnemonic Yearbook (Madeira, OH)

History A group of old grads of the Class of '38 have gathered to do a little remi- niscing. How pleasant old memories can be! Remember the first big event of our Freshman year, the Girl Reserve-Hi-Y hike, and how it rained? I'll never forget the fun we had in Miss Coulter's classes. Oh, yes-that time she gave us a birthday party! Did we have the swell time our Junior year! Sold candy to give the seniors a banquet-and gave a card party, too. Didn't we put it on at that banquet?- Vernon Manor, yellow rose corsages, rain, the Albee , tough steaks, gold candles, bath salts, Mr. Sellman reciting To eat or not to eat , and more fun, and - more fun! 'tDoes your memory faintly recall that second year in high school when we hit a new low in English grades? Ah, dear old Caesar-how we murdered him and drove Miss Hadsel crazy. I believe Mr. Buxton came that year, didn't he? Oh, yes, that was the year we wasted our noon hours playing games on the blackboard. L'Remember how different it was when we were seniors-how we would cram down our lunch and then rush back to the room to cram as much history as possible-and then when we got to class we would try to get Mr. Sellman to talk about current events so that he wouldn't give us a test. I can just see our old home room Ql04j in the morning before school with all of us lounging around on the commercial desks in the front of the room trying to see who could make the funniest crack , How we loved to make puns-and were they terrible! I don't suppose any of us have forgotten that cozy little detention room, and those lovely little white slips we received once in a while. HDo you remember that first day of school in our senior year? We thought we were so important, with a brand new building and everything. We had three new teachers that year, too - Mr. Phillips, Mr. Robinson, and Miss Fagaly. Yes, we were parked in the Home Ee. room and nearly had fits un- til we got moved. We really got started at that first class meeting-went high- brow and chose the gardenia for our class flower, argued about every color in the rainbow, finally chose navy and white, and then broke up in confusion with everyone talking at once and demanding justice. But we really pulled together on our annual. Remember the nights we work- ed at school, the day we had the pictures taken, the study bells we spent writing and rewriting, those Buy your Annual Now signs all over the school, and the day we went forth after advertising-plenty of work, but it was worth it. Then came the class play with everyone laboring to give the 'tNewspaper Bride a successful reception at Madeira. Did we enjoy the ban- quet that year! Will you ever forget that June 12th and our Baccalaureate address, June 17th and Commencement. Blue caps and gowns, a march down the aisle of the auditorium, those long-awaited diplomas, a final farewell, and it was all over.

Will We, of the Class of 1938, being fully aware of the catastrophe about to descend upon us, do forth-with, in our last moments, decree that our worldly stores shall be disposed of in the following manner: To the members of the Annual Staff of 1938 we bequeath the responsibilities of putting out the second issue of the MNEMONIC. To the Freshmen we leave the courage to face the three long years' ahead of them. To the Sophomores we give the assurance that next year will be better than this. Ut couldnit be worsej. To our successors, the Juniors, we will our high and lofty position and the privileges and advantages which go with it. Margaret Hanning leaves her beloved cheer leaderis suit to Mary Williamson, so that it may carry on with a redhead. Because she is going away to school and will have no further use for it, Marion sadly entrusts her sparkling space to Vange Korte. Jeanne leaves her position as editor of the BLUE and GOLD and a box of aspirin to Jack Morgan. To that cute little junior, Norma Hewitt, Thelma Bergen leaves her million- dollar smile. Ray is so kind as to transfer his ego to Jimmy Thompson so that Jim will be a high-class Senior next year. To help Bill Blankenship become a ladies' man, Bob has very generously willed his nice curly hair to him. Catherine has decided to leave her class boners to Ruby Langford-with an attached warning. Isabel and Louise wish to bestow their silence and secrecy upon those strong silent boys, Dick Montgomery and Jack McCarthy. Very reluctantly indeed, Dorothy wills her big brown eyes to Laura Behan. With a tear in his eye, Bill leaves his beautiful paper dolls to Harry Johnson. fBe good to them, Harry, . Virginia rather cheerfully hands over her ability to sprain her ankles to Margaret McGinnis. Walter Wood gives his promptness to Rita Bergen. Orville leaves his Wide awake attitude to Gene DeMar. Phyllis has many pleasant memories as she bestows her lead in the class play upon Jean Putnam. ..., P, , l 4 1 5 ...J
