I 1151 lhirlccn. class to Burton Henke, Rita Stagge, Mary ,lean Teal, and Carl Thornton whose pictures appear on this page. For all their love for Madeira and the happy days there this class leaves without regret. For- ward looking, they feel that this is the beginning of a new phase of their life rather than 0 BARBARA JoY BooNE The impish imp who skoots around getting into ally activity that may come up, including party commit- tees, Girl Reserves leader, annual work as art editor, plays, and--well, ask any fellow from Madeira High about the rest. DICK BUTLER Who doesn't know Dick? We know him as the fellow who so cheer- fully takes the part of chauffeur, who sneaks around snapping pic- tures for the Camera Club and who is happiest when confronted with an extra large matted milk. Dick worked officially as assistant stage manager and manager for Madeira basketball team. DICK CATES The real L'Master of Ceremouiesf' outstanding member of every social event, jitterbug, Beau Brummel, and great lover and singer, jumbled up into one of the most popular fel- lows at Madeira High School. BOB COFFMAN WhCl16Y'8f a motorcycle is passing hy Bob may he found on the street admiring its high speed or peering through the window watching it turn the corner. He is quite hum- orous 'gin his own way,' and pos- sesses a scientific mind. He is a member of the Hi-Y and Camera Clubs. DANNY DEMAR This potential spitfire has in his four years at Maderia High captured the hearts of many friends. Cocky on the diamond, studious in the class room, active in the Camera Club, Hi-Y and sports editor of the anual. Danny has formed a well- rounded personality that shall take him far in later life. GENE DI-:MAR Another of the DeMar clan that has done so much to build up the friendly and cooperative atmosphere at Madeira High. Possessing a fine body, Gene has proved himself one of the outstanding athletes in Ma- deira history as a leader on thc hardwood., the diamond, and also the cinders. Combining athletic ability with scholastic ability, Gene has proven himself to be a well rounded student. BETH DONES Say now! The glamour girl, who de- lights in causing a commotion by just walking up and down the halls the ending of high school. For them this will truly be a NCOIIIIIICHCCIIICIIL77 In order that you may have fl better nn1lcrst1m1ling of the character and personalities of the members of the Senior Class, we have arranged a series of character sketches, that we feel give a very clear and precise picture of our classmates. and who is way up on the gotta date list of Madeira fellows. She spends her free time with annual work and Girl Reserves. JIMMY FEVRIER The popular lad who is a lady's man, all the time, and the man who comes around after school and on Saturdays, and in between times he managed to participate in athletics, Hi-Y, Glee Club, Operetta, and Minstrel. BURT HENKE This absent-minded bundle of wits may have been seen throughout the school year, staggering under such a load as President of the Senior Class, Secretary of the Alpha Hi-Y, as an organizer of the Camera Club tlllflfoll yes! as the editor and general out-put of the Mnemonic of 1940. The energy and efficiency of Burt shall long be remembered in the annals of Madeira High. THERESA JACKSON The hot-headed Irish damsel who really keeps things a poppin when she's around! She has contributed much to the success of our class, especially as Junior Class treasurer and feature editor of the Mnemonic. MARY AND MARGARET KEETHLER These popular girls are the first twins to graduate from Madeira Hi. Because they invariably do well in everything they attempt, they have been valuable members of the Sen- ior Class of 1940. BILL KEMBLE This fellow's not letting any grass grow under his feet. Although Bill has been active in Hi-Y work, his real success has been as scholar, being a permanent member of all scholarship teams representing Ma- deira High. We congratulate him on winning a scholarship to Wlilming- ton College. He has completed four years of high school work in three years, an achievement in itself. BILL KERSHNER This usweet, innocent, little guy has won the hearts of everyone about Madeira Hi. His uadorablew ways are boosted by other commendable traits. He is good natured, hard working, always cheerful and a guy that gets along with the gals. Willy has been outstanding in Camera Club, annual staff, Hi-Y Club, Sen- ior Play, and everything else that came up. Adorable Ike he was known as in them days.

Page Twelve IMPOSSIBLE IS UN-AMERICAN The Class of 1940 is an Mexceptionalw one. They even admit it themselves. But they are justified by a sane self'-evaluation as well as a general concensus. The class as a whole has been dis- tinguished for its talent, industry and citizen- ship. However, they are not conceited. Regardless of their achievements, they realize that next year's class will fill their places well. They do not doubt that it may excel them as they have excelled their predecessors. That is progress and they are progressives. Theirs has not been a narrow school spirit such as may carry over in life as provincialism, nationalism or bigotry. They have aspired to- ward cooperation rather than wasteful com- petition. They encouraged good will between Madeira and neighboring schools by giving an inter-school senior dance. They have cooperated with the other classes for the good of Maderia as a whole. Likewise they have cooperated with the faculty. So has their participation been enthusiastic and complete in other school activities. When this class invited neighboring schools to come to Whave a good time at Madeiraw they set a precedent which the other schools enthus- iastically promised to follow. Students from Loveland, Terrace Park, Sycamore, and Plain- ville came and had a good time. This inauguration of the Inter-School Dance was followed by the sponsorship of the first Alumni dance. Its purpose was to suggest the formation of an Alumni Association and inci- dentally raise some money for the 1940 Illne- monic. From this germ there now flourishes for the first time, a Madeira Alumni Association. In this the class of '40 will soon join to do its part. The Camera Club is another class of ,40 first. This club rode a hobby as a Mustang to become the school's most popular and most highly re- spected organization. They undertook as a proj- ect the photography work on this Mnemonic. In this and other services they were most useful. As for the Wlncmonic of1940, you be the judge. According to the official records this class had an unusually high scholastic average. Over sixty per cent made the semester honor rolls. In the Annual Senior General Scholarships open to the upper thirds of the class Madeira ranked high. Dan DeMar, Burton Henke, Robert Coffman, and .lohn Paul Schaefer 1'eceived hon- orable mention for the county. Clifford Pohl ranked highest among representatives of coun- ty schools and fourth among those of all the schools. Eleven seniors represented Madeira in thc scholarship contest held at Greenhills. They were: John Schaefer, American History, second, Clifford Pohl, American History, third, Robert Coffman, Chemistry, alternate, Burton Henke, Chemistry, Mary ,lean Teal, English, Willialii Kemble, English, William Kershner, Physics, Rita Yoas, French, Peter Strifler, Bookkeeping, Rita Stagge, Shorthand, first, Elaine Miller, Shorthand, second. The seniors contributed Gene DeMar, Carl Thornton, Elizabeth Wehrnlan, Pete Strifler, Dan DeMar, and Agnes Vlfood to Madeira's varsity athletic teams. The team- work play of veterans Pete, Carl, and Gene helped to cinch the Hamilton Coun- ty Basketball Champion- ship. Cene was the cool headed captain, Others participated in Madeirals excellent intramural ath- letic program. That there are many out- standing students in the class of '40 was evident when the teachers would not attempt to elect the four all-round seniors. They made ten nominations, five boys and five girls, which were voted on by the class. By a close vote the highest honor of all around stu- dent was awarded by their
