Page Three THE EDITCDR Memories: Dear Editor: 1940 - My graduation year! - The year of wars.4 The year we won the Hamilton County Basketball Tourna- ment at Green Hills. The years I939- 1940 will always be remembered as happy ones. Yours, JOHN PAUL SCHAEFER O You het, Johnny.-ED. A Dreamer Dreams Dear Editor: As I reviewed the Mnemonic of 1940 and looked over the faces of many former schoolmates, the question arose of their ambitions and desires. I can still remember my desires very clear- ly, although they seemed hazy at the time. As I think back, a wave of picturesque names Hood my mind: Shanghai-HawaiiASan Diego-cocoa- nuts - the Philippines-pineapples - Yes, you can well wonder if I have fulfilled my ambition: hut all I can say is!-HI'm still young. BILL KERSHNER O Bon Voyage, Willie, we know you will make it.-ED. Florida Bound Dear Editor: I am really sorry that the last four years have gone as fast as they have. The last four years will have lasting memories for me. At last we are on our own. There will be no more teach- ers to reprimand us for talking, to ask us questions and to keep us after school if we do not have the answers. Instead, we may be fired if we have not gotten over many of our slothful habits. As soon as school is out, I am going to Florida. It is really a great place to go. I would like to be a hook- keeper after I am out of school. Sincerely, , ,, PETER STRIFLER Dear Editor: I cannot say I am sorry to leave, although I have spent many happy years here. I plan to attend Miami University and I know I will enjoy every minute there, as I have here. Sincerely, MARY JEAN TEAL Philosophy Dear Editor: The past four years have been pages in life's hook: they're over and very few have Ndog ears on them. My only ambition is to be successful, in my own mind, in whatever I choose to do. Sincerely, THERESA JACKSON 0 T11at's the stuff, Mel.-ED. Dear Editor: Soon the great day all of the seniors have been waiting for will arrive. For some it will be just a stepping stone on to college, to others it will mean the end of their preparing and the beginning of their career in busi- ness. I plan to enter night school as soon as possible to prepare myself for en- trance into the advertising business. Sincerely, RICHARD BUTLER 0 Good luck, Dickie!-ED. Dear Editor: I would like to express the joy of my last year in high school. The end of this year has always seemed so far away, but now it is almost here. I thought there was plenty of time to decide what I wanted to do, yet here I am without plans for the future. No year has gone by so quickly as this one. I hope the friendships that I have started in school will last throughout my life. Sincerely, RITA M. YOAS Munitions Maker Greetings, Inquisitive Editor: You wish me to delve into those in- ner recesses of my so-called brain, you probe into my cantankerous grey matter-merely to disclose my per- sonal reactions to the prospect of leaving the portals of Madeira Hi. One thing, to he sure, has changed the complete course of my life. I shall never gain fame and fortune in the field of gunpowder. That is truly my great disappointment. It happened in Madeira, alas! The futureAoh yes, well, who knows? A long life-a merry one-a contented life-and a happy one. These are my answers. Best of luck to one and all. CLIFF O Let Room 135 profit by your ex- periences.-ED. Dear Editor: I am leaving this good school with a heavy heart fhuhll. I am leaving my old cheer-leading suit to whom- ever it will fit, and I am leaving Helen Spradling for the new cheer-leader to argue with. They didn't think they would get rid of me, but Iim gone for good. DICK CATES A Cook-Fancy That Dear Mnemonic Editor: My high school years have been very enjoyable I have had much fun and I probably will look back and say they were the best four years of my life. Next year I hope I can see my way clear to attend college and take up Home Economics. Sincerely, BARBARA JOY BOONE Dear Editor: Oh, when I'm old and gray, I hope I can then say, That though I have lived long, High School was all a song. And that friends I then made True to me always stayed. If I have gained success, Or if I have done something less, I shall always recall, In the earliest fall Good old Madeira High With a glad sort of sigh. Hopefully yours, DAN .l. DEMAR O Darn Dandy, Danny.fED. Regret Dear Editor: ' One of the hardest tasks of my life so far is the writing of this farewell letter to the Editor of the 1940 Mnemonic. My school years have been the hap- piest years I will ever experience and I deeply regret leaving Madeira High School. Sincerely, RITA STAGGE Dear Editor: This being my first and last year at Madeira High School I cannot com- ment on my four years of high school, but I can say I have enjoyed this year at Madeira more than any of the other three years of high school. Sincerely, GORDON MOORE
