Medina High School - Medinian Yearbook (Medina, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 76 of the 1913 volume:

s Smmuurii This book, the first annual publication of the Medina High School, is dedicated to the Senior Class, the class of 1913, by the Juniors, the class of 1914. In so doing our intent is to honor what we style one of the most reliable and depend- able classes in the history of the schools. Our purpose, if we may give it voice, is that we may not only show our appreciation and hearty agreement with those sentiments which have actuated the class of ’13, in main- taining the prestige of Medina Hi, but that we may kindle anew that spirit of veneration, loyalty, and co-operation among the old graduates, without which no school can realize its ideals in fullest measure. If, at least in part, we succeed in creating or animating such a sentiment among the alumni, the community, and the present student body, this work will have justified its existence. We consider it an honor to be allowed to present the Medina Board of Education. We feel that we owe them much. No body of men receive less and deserve more; so here are our compliments to the Board of Education. Arthur L. Boyden, Elbert Spitzer, Jay Sargent, Clyde E. Jones. THE FACULTY.

Josephus, speaking of the national ideals of t he Jewish people, says, “ Our ground is good, and we work it to the utmost; but our chief ambition is for the education of our children.” So say also the American people. Unlimited are the natural resources of this well-favored land, and the alert American works them to the utmost; but America’s most valuable resource is her boys and girls, and America’s greatest pride is her educated young manhood and young womanhood. We believe with Horace Mann, the great educator, that 11 schoolhouses are the republican line of defense,” and we consider a class of high school graduates a greater asset to our country than a whole battalion of soldiers, and one school- house a stronger defense than a dozen garrisoned forts. AVe are therefore proud and happy to welcome to this service the class of 1913 of the Medina high school. The event of high schood graduation marks an important epoch in the life of every young person. For months and years you have been traveling towards the promised land Annual of “ Commencement,” your eye fixed on its delectable summit. To-day you stand on that summit, and like to Moses of old, it is to you a mount of vision. Behind you lies the land of bondage where you were often obliged to make bricks without straw — that is, give a good recitation when you were out the night before and had no time for preparation ; where your backs were often bent under the taskmaster’s lash — metaphorically speaking’, of course; where you passed through the “ ten plagues ” in the form of final examinations. Behind you lies the tangled wilderness of grammar and rhetoric, Latin and German, physics and chemistry, science and mathematics, and you wandered in that wilderness, lo, these four long years. But all these things are now past, and before you stretches out the vista of the promised land, a land that flows with the milk and the honey of the possessions and services of life. That last phrase suggests the theme that I will endeavor to bring to you to-night — Possession for Service. 1 submit two texts, both from St. Paul, a New Testament writer who was also a college graduate, and therefore had the educated man’s view of life: 1 Cor. 3:22, “All things are yours;” Rom. 12:11, “Serving the age.” The latter text in the Authorized Version reads “ Serving the Lord,” but an alternate reading is “ Serving the age.” The meaning is the same. No man can serve the Lord without serving his own age, and no man can serve his own age without serving the Lord. “ All things are yours ” — Possession. “ Serving the age ” — Service. We may combine the thought and say, “ All things are yours to serve your age ” — Possession for Service. The purpose of my message to you graduates tonight will be to arouse your thoughtful consideration of the magnificent sweep of “ all things ” which are yours whereby you may serve the age in which you live. I. The Past is yours. God, in his plan for the evolution of the race, has wisely or- dained that each generation shall build upon the understructure left by the preceding generation. Each new generation begins where the past generation left off. The progress of humanity is like the building of a tower. A generation of men places a circle of stone on the ground. The generation passes, but the circle of stone is left. The next generation places a new circle of stone over the first circle. The third generation adds a third circle on the other two, and so on and on, each successive generation building the tower a little higher. Were it not for that wise divine provision which permits each succeeding genera- tion to inherit the achievements of the past and build on them, humanity’s progress would be like ten thousand sejjarate desolate circles of stone never rising higher than the first layer. ■ The tower on which you young people are called to build has already been reared to no mean height. Every high school class likes to excel its predecessors in some respect, and I congratulate the class of 1913 because its graduates enter into a greater inheritance of the past than any previous class. And a glorious inheritance it is! Yours all the past achievements of all the “ Hards, patriots, martyrs, sages, The noble of all the ages, Whose deeds crown history’s pages, And time’s great volume make ! ” The past lays at your feet all its treasures of literature, history, art, science and invention, and bids you possess them and use them to serve your age. The legacy of literature makes yours all the keen thought of the past. Rightly does Channing say, “God be thanked for books; they are the voices of the distant and the dead, and make us heirs of the spiritual life of past ages.” Yours this flower of the world’s literature, the book which Coleridge said he knew was inspired because it found him at greater depths of his being than any other book — the Holy Bible, in which is the record of how “ God made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.” Yours all the poetry from Homer to Walt Mason, the philosophy from Aristotle to Henri Bergson — “ the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds.” Annual 7 Yours all the wise and bright things that men have ever thought, from King Solomon even unto Elbert Hubbard ! The legacy of history makes yours the net results of the lives of the world’s good and great. Civilization has been blood-bought. Men have deposited their lives in the bank of humanity, and yours is the accrued interest. Yea, yours is the principal, to re-invest for humanity. The legacy of art makes all beauty yours. Raphael is yours, Michael Angelo is yours, Titian is yours, and all the other artistic souls who glimpsed the ideals and dreams of humanity and splashed them upon canvas. Beethoven is yours, Mendelssohn is yours, Schubert is yours, and all those super-sensitive souls who captured the passions and sor- rows and joys of human hearts and interpreted them in music. The Temple of Solomon in old Jerusalem is yours, the Parthenon of Old Athens is yours, the Taj Mahal of India is yours, and yours all the “ frozen music ” in temple, tower and statue. To the legacy of the true, the good, and the beautiful, bequeathed in literature, history, and art, must also be added the useful, bequeathed in the results of invention and discovery. Some years ago, the International Harvester Company issued a picture book showing the evolution of the grain harvester. The first picture described a man using the simple grass hook. But the manipulation of the hook was hard on the back; and as necessity is the mother of invention, the next picture showed that the hook had grown a long handle and become a scythe. The third stage saw a cradle added to the scythe. The fourth was a mower, many small scythes on a bar vibrated by machinery. Fifth came the man-rake, followed by the self-rake, then the self-binder, and now that complicated machine by which the grain is cut, threshed, and sacked in one operation. Similar charts might be drawn of the evolution of every phase of industry ; of illumination, from the pine-torch to the X-ray ; of transportation, from the log raft to the aeroplane ; of communication, from the foot runner to wireless telegraphy; of thought preservation, from Egyptian hieroglyphics to Edison’s cameraphone. In every case progress has been possible only because each succeeding generation inherited and built upon the achievements of the past. Young people, I congratulate you because the past is yours. Behold, she stands behind you tonight with emptied arms and says, “ All things are yours. All my treasures are yours. Yours to possess. Take them; go, and serve your age.” II. The Present is yours. It used to be a boyish pastime for me to dream and wish myself born under different circumstances or in another age ; instead of having been born an obscure widow’s son, to have been born of royal blood ; instead of living in this present age, to have lived in the strange ages of the past, or to live in the golden ages of the future. But since I have grown to manhood, I have ceased dreaming about these fantastic impossibilities, and am content to be just plain “ me,” and am thankful that I live in the “ now.” This is a good time in which to live, young people, and you and I ought to be glad that our visit to earth was not timed a hundred years earlier or a hundred years later. There are, among many others, three peculiar characteristics of the present age which make it highly auspicious for young people. First, this is a practical age. The question that the world now asks is not, “Where were you born? Who were your ancestors? What is your pedigree? What were your antecedents? ” The question that the world now snaps out is, “ What can you do? ” Not blue blood, but red blood counts in these days. Your ancestors may have come over in the Mayflower, but the world will forget it if you don’t make good. Your parents may have come over in the steerage, and the world will forget it if you make good. This age cares naught for the aristocracy of birth, it cares everything for the aristocracy of worth. Not the antecedents of your life, but the consequences, matter. Young people, you ought to rejoice and be exceedingly glad that you are living in an age when the only thing that really rates you is efficiency. a Amtital Here let me pause to say that efficiency demands its price. You must be thoroughly trained. Your graduation from high school completes a part of that training, but only a part. Y on are not yet fully trained to be really efficient in life. You need more than you have now. Go to college, if at all possible. If not possible, then continue your study at home. A liberal education is almost an absolute necessity in these days. Get it in college if you can, get it alone from books if you must, but by all means, get it. “ How priceless,” said our martyred President McKinley, “is a liberal education! In itself what a rich endowment ! It is not impaired by age, but its value increases with use. No one can employ it but its rightful owner. He alone can illustrate its worth and enjoy its rewards. It cannot be inherited or purchased. It must be acquired by individual effort. It can be secured only by perseverance and self-denial. But it is as free as the air we breathe. Neither race nor nationality nor sex can debar the earnest seeker for its possession. It is not exclusive, but inclusive in the broadest and best sense. It is within the reach of all who really want it, and are brave enough to struggle for it. The earnest rich and worthy poor are equal and friendly rivals in its pursuit, and neither is exempted from any of the sacrifices necessary for its acquisition. The key to its title is not the bright allurements of rank and station, but the simple watchword of work and study. A liberal education is the greatest blessing that a man or woman can enjoy, when supported by virtue, morality and noble aims.” Another characteristic of this age is its youthfulness. This is the day of the young man and the young woman. In the past generation a patient would hardly trust his case in the hands of a doctor unless he wore a beard betokening age; now the young physician is sought because it is believed that he represents the latest in medical science. Then the preachers that were in demand were the men who had back of them many years of experi- ence and study; now the seminaries can not supply the demand of the churches for young- preachers. Then great business enterprises were managed by men whose years gave evidence of discretion and conservatism ; now the great corporations give their most responsible offices and pay their largest salaries to young men. The trend of the time is anti-conserva- tive and ultra-progressive. The fact that these are distinctively youthful qualities explains the remarkable demand for youthful leadership. It is being predicted that the pendulum is soon to swing back the other way; but be that as it may, you young people are fortunate in being young when the age is youthful, and the demand is for young people. The third characteristic of the age is its idealism. The world is day-dreaming. It is dreaming of a coming golden age, when things will be better than they are now, when the evils of intolerance and intemperance and ignorance and oppression and superstition will be driven out. The world is dreaming of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. And there are many and abundant signs that the world is awakening from its dream. When it awakens, it will set to work to make its dreams come true. Already we hear reports of fulfilment. The air is intense with expectation. Something is coming, coming, coming ! Christ is coming — not in the fantastic and crude notion of antiquated theology, but Christ is coming into the life and heart of organized human society! Even so come quickly, Lord Jesus! Happy are you who are young in these electric times! Y ou will be in it ! Y T ou will see it ! III. But I find that I have just been speaking in the future tense, and this leads me to say that the Future is yours. Thus far I have spoken mostly of possession, now let me connect up the idea of possession with the thought of service. Possession for service. The future is yours. Yours is the future. The past belonged to “them,” and they built well; the present belongs to us, the older generation, and we are building as best we can; but the future belongs to you, and it will be what you make it. The past lays its treasures at your feet, the present puts its opportunities into your hands — you have all the material necessary to build a glorious future. In the glowing words of Edwin Markham, ®ljr Amutal 9 “ We men of earth have here the stuff Of Paradise — we have enough! We need no other thing to build The stairs into the Unfulfilled — No other ivory for the doors — No other marble for the floors — No other cedar for the beam And dome of man’s immortal dream. Here on the path of every day — Here on the common human way — Is all the busy gods would take To build a heaven, to mould and make New Edens. Ours the stuff sublime To build Eternity in time ! ” Oh that you young people may today catch a vision of the possibilities for service ! You are world builders! You are epoch makers! You are servants of the age! God grant that as you leave this place tonight you may carry away in your hearts a sense of the consecreation of your life for humanity ! All things are yours to serve the age — aye, to serve the ages. Your work will not die with your age. As the past lives today, so will the future live throughout the ages. You are building, not for time, but for eternity. The possibilities for service are unlimited as eternity itself! This body, fashioned of the clay, Will turn again unto the dust; Yon sun, whose light illumes the day. Like ancient shield of brass will rust. Those hills, which stood since time began, Will slumber in the valley’s bed: Those stars, bespangling heaven’s span, Like flower petals will drop dead. But I, e’en I, my self, my soul, A citizen eternal dwell : For me there is a far-off goal Staked out beyond both heaven and hell! And on that goal I’ll fix today The eager vision of my eye, And watch and wait and work and pray Till I shall reach it by and by. 10 ®tjr Annual Qllaaa Ahhrraa SHERMAN MAPLE. Ladies and gentlemen, we of the Senior class of 1913 wish to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude for the large audience to which we are to submit for approval the crowning event of our whole high-school course, “ Our Commencement.” And we wish to extend a welcome to every one to an extent which is, perhaps, an extra effort on our part to make something of ourselves. For the past four years we have studied faithfully in order to obtain this start, and be prepared for the commencement or the beginning of our work in life. Some of us go forth as we are, our hearts full of unbounded hope and courage, and our minds firmly fixed to the thoughts that nothing is impossible, no one ever got something for nothing, and he who uses his brain as well as his brawn conquers the world. Others go on fitting and preparing themselves for a higher and better education, and to make a mark in the world, of which our community may be justly proud. These Commencement exercises are the apex and the culmination of our high-school life, although in a strict interpretation they are merely the beginning of one of the most vital things in life, Education. During the course of our life we will become vastly wiser and better educated by the greatest of all teachers, Experience. Nevertheless, we have obtained the start, the nucleus of our greater self, to which we may add to a limitless extent, because no one ever reaches that stage in his education where he is absolutely per- fect. No one knows whether we will drift on this boundless sea of fortune; but as we go forth, each to fulfill his destiny, all will look back on the days we attended our Alma Mater as classmates and friends, with our hearts full of regret for the departure from those with whom we sat from day to day and side by side in the class rooms. We wish to thank our parents, teachers, and the community for providing the excel- lent facilities of our schools, which gave us our first preparation to overcome the obstacles with which we will meet in the future. We only hope they will continue the rapid ad- vancement which they have gone through in the past. In spite of our hope and faith in the future, there is a tinge of sadness in the present, which I, for, one, do not fear to cherish or confess, for it testifies to the genuineness of our sympathy and friendship, and the consciousness of our indebtedness to the Medina High School and the community. We welcome you. Annual 11 (Elaaa Sfiaturu RUTH BRADFORD WRIGHT. We are told by a well-known writer of history that the “ subject of history is man,” that “ history has to do with the careers of individuals;” also that history is “concerned with the actions and fortunes of man.” It is hard to realize that, notwithstanding our extreme youth, we have been making history of a kind for the past twelve years. This has to do only with our school career. Our mothers and teachers have worried over our actions, no doubt, but our fortunes are yet to be made. Perhaps the historian did not mean by the term “ fortune ” gold, but good environment and opportunities. These have surely been ours. Our town is an ideal one for a school system, and we have always been favored with good instructors and equipment. We have had three able superintendents — Judge J. R. Kennan, Mr. C. C. Carlton, and Mr. W. S. Edmund. Our class, while not the largest numerically, is surely one of the best ever sent out by a high-school faculty aided by the school board. We also have absorbed a great deal of wisdom, but not all, as preceding classes have depleted the supply somewhat, and, being naturally generous, we wanted to leave some for the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen who need to learn so much yet. The least a truthful historian can say is that we have been quiet, diligent, obedient, and rule-abiding all these years. Our class was the first to have the privilege of enjoying an innovation, namely, a public kindergarten. Our town has long been “ progressive,” you see, for now, after twelve years, there are fewer than 200 cities in the whole United States with public kindergartens. Miss Ella Canavan began her career with a private kindergarten the year previous, which a few of us attended. When the father of one of this first class paid the tuition, Miss Ella told him it was the first money she had ever received which she had earned herself. Of our present number, Arthur French, Marcella Fisher, Marion Branch, Lucile Hunsberger, Helen Hobart, and myself were taught to use the kindergarten gifts, to sit in a circle, and sing “ Good Morning to You,” and “ Goodby, dear Teacher, Goodby to you.” Our good fortune continued in the first grade, for Miss Sarah Smith, the widely known primary supervisor, taught us to read by the famous Ward method, which, as most of you know, is a short but royal road to literature compared with the old ABC method. New members joined us in learning to read and spell, for Evelyn Thatcher, Helen Ganyard, and Sherman Maple were added to our roll. It is surprising how the class rolls change from year to year. We have always worked in large groups; but the members of different grades keep dropping out and new ones coming in. So while our total enrollment keeps about the same, yet compara- tively few of the Senior class which graduates to-day have been in these schools through the entire course. What is true of our class, I am told, is true of most others. In the second grade Julia Anderson, Helen Clark, and John Renz were added to our number; but there were no more additions until we were promoted from the primary building, when Fred Reiser entered the class in the fifth grade. In the seventh, Glenn Geisinger joined us, and in the eighth grade (the grade famous for discipline, good teaching, and application of pupils) Maude Whipple and Carloyne Simmons came to 12 Annual help with another innovation — the first eighth-grade commencement. I can tell yon we felt important. Commencement in a tent, special music, new gowns, and a play ! We dramatized Robert Browning’s Pied Piper of Hamelin, and for the occasion some lean rats, fat rats, and gray rats, who perished in the river; and, according to the legend, some of us were led by the Pied Piper through the door in the mountain, presumably never to return, but, like “ bad pennies,” you see “ we came back.” But our school life was not all joys. Our last year in the grades was suddenly broken by the loss of a class member who had been with ns for eight years — Gertrude McNeal, who was called from us to a better land. A turning-point in our history was reached when we entered High School. We had to decide on courses of study, whether our aim was college or business career, and learn to study alone without the constant study-recitation method we had become accustomed to in the grades. But new joys came with new duties; for class organization, class pins, class colors, and class parties were now our privilege and delight. In our Freshman year we indulged in many social gatherings. We had but little trouble securing chaperones, and thoroughly enjoyed the novelty of class gatherings. To help enjoy these good times came the following new members: Naoma Gault, our honor member; Murle Pelton, Lucile Blakeslee, Arbie Carlton, Leland Walton, Wayne Anderson, John Weber, Oscar Culler, William Rauscher, Ralph House, and Carl Lowe. No new members came to help us feel more important in our dignified, wise, Sopho- more year; but with the Junior year came Marion Gleason, Zelma Renz, Irwin Brought, Ralph Snedden, and Marion Garver. This year Robert Beech, Ceylon Woodruff, and McKinley Ewing came to swell our number to even thirty-six. I am aware that I have not been boastful about my class, but have recounted our doings with humility of spirit. But there is one thing I must “ brag ” about, namely, our splendid high-school base-ball team. The members of the team from the class of 1913 have helped to bring us this athletic distinction. Three cheers for those of our class who have helped to bring us this honor. The career of 1913 has been enlivened and saddened by the usual events of interest which make the history of the average high-school class. Last December the school and town were shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of one of our number, Dorothy White, who had been with us for ten years. Thus twice have our ranks been broken by death. These experiences are teaching us the lessons of life. It is our purpose as a class to make better citizens than we have made as students, so that future historians twelve years hence may write, if they choose, a brilliant history of our careers, actions, and fortunes. Time will tell. In conclusions let us say that our class relations have been pleasant, and that there has been but little friction between students and teachers. We do appreciate the efforts made in our behalf, and, no doubt, as the years go by, will value them more and more. The reputation of our class may be summed up in this closing sentence : Whatever Freshmen, Sophmores, or Juniors in the future may do, We have never cut classes, flunked, nor bluffed our way; We’re the best class over which to make ado — At least that is what our fond friends all say. Annual 13 Qllasa of ’13 ARBIE CARLTON. This, the next to the largest that ever graduated, consists of thirty-six members, of which twenty are boys and sixteen are girls. Although we have not had the benefit of being under one superintendent for the four years, and although many changes in the teaching course have occurred, be assured that our class is up to the standard. During the four years we have been taught by seventeen different teachers, none of whom have been with us all four years. Miss Beach was the best acquainted with us, as she taught us for three years, and presided personally over us for two years. The girls average slightly younger than the boys, the average age being eighteen and one-third years. The baby of the class, McKinley Ewing, is sixteen; John Weber is our heavy-weight champion, weighing one hundred and eighty pounds, while our bantam weight is Marcella Fisher, weighing only ninety pounds. Our whole class weighs over two and a half tons, or, to be exact, 5C09 pounds. The average weight of the class is 139 1-6 pounds. The average weight of the girls is 127, and of the boys is 148. Sherman Maple comes nearest the average weight of the boys; Marion Branch and Helen Clark of the girls. We not only have the record for average weight, but also for height. The tallest member of the class is Wayne Anderson, who stands six feet and three inches high. The honor of being the shortest of the class is divided between Helen Clark and Naomi Gault, who are each five feet two inches tall. The tallest girl is Maude Whipple, who measures five feet nine inches. The average height of the girls is five feet five and one-half inches, Ruth Wright being the nearest to this average. The average height of the boys is five feet nine inches, and the boys nearest this average are Oscar Culler, Arthur French, Carl Lowe, and McKinley Ewing. Therefore yon can readily see, by the few statistics that I have given, that the class of 1913 is the champion in every thing. But the most brilliant characteristic of our class has not been spoken of — that is, its interest and support of athletics. We have been largely representative every year in football and baseball teams of the high school. Two of the members of the class have been on the baseball team for four years and two on the football team for four years. There are ten lettered men in the class. Every class team that ever played us went down to defeat. But it was of the reputation of the Senior Class base-ball team that 1 intended to speak. Seven out of the ten base-ball players who have represented M. H. S. this year are from the Senior Class. Therefore I speak of it as the Senior Team. Out of ten games played, we have won eight and lost two, one of which was a ten-inning game. So you can easily see that we have the right spirit and the goods to back it. Not only do we have the team but also the largest per cent of rooter, with Helen Hobart as our cheer-leader. Five of our boys will be chemists, two mechanical engineers, one an electrical engineer, two farmers, one an artist, one a physician, one an auto expert, one a teacher, one a dentist, one a base-ball player with the intention of entering the American League. One will study forestry, and one will study law with the intention of defending the suffragettes and their rights. No doubt he will have help from those who are undecided as to their career. 14 Animal We have 14 Methodists, 11 Congregationalists, 1 Universalist, an Episcopalian, a Unitarian, and a Catholic. The rest belong to Sunday-school. No attempt will be made to tell the different colors of the girls’ hair; and as for politics, the boys are too much interested in school work and baseball; and, besides, they are not old enough to vote, except one. Although these facts show that the class is divided in many subjects, we are one in our enthusiasm to live up to our reputation and our pride in “ Old M. H. S.” OUasH Mill FRED KELSER. We the Seniors of Medina High School of the City of Medina , County of Medina , and, State of Ohio, otherwise known as The Class of 1913, realizing that our life and activ- ities in the above-mentioned institution are drawing rapidly to a close, and being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament: Hereby revoking and annulling any and all will or wills by us made heretofore. 1. Our will is that all just debts and expenses be paid out of our estate as soon after our departure as shall be found convenient. 2. We give, devise, and bequeath to the Juniors all our estate not herein designated, of whatever name or description, real, personal, or mixed, said estate to include only that which may be found in the H.

We bequeath our sincere thanks and kindest regards, as well as our sympathy and good wishes, to the present members of our beloved faculty, also those who preceded them, in return for earnest and conscientious endeavors to put in and to draw out of our crani- ums a little bit of the extract of knowledge. 4. Having had more experience than they, we devise a suggestion for the green Fresh- men (no longer). In case they do not wish to retain their now inappropriate colors, green and white, we give them our old design of purple and red, this being more suitable for them as Sophomores, alias wise fools. 5. We also devise a suggestion for the Juniors, namely, that they should adopt the new Yale custom of wearing knickerbockers, which would match very well with their lately purchased hats of the Buster Brown variety. 6. Arbie Carlton, the Champion Feather Weight of 1913, bequeaths his title to Lau- rance Cole, a worthy young Junior with a fiery top. For good measure Mr. Carlton throws in all his trousers of the brief length, to be disposed of as the receiver may see fit. Mr. Carlton also gives to Mr. Cole the right to go with any girl in the Sophomore class except one and possibly two more. Attmtal 15 7. We give, devise, and bequeath to Harold Ziegler, a thriving young business man of this city, Miss Lucile Hunsberger, a popular young lady noted especially among music circles. 8. We, the boys of 1913, give, devise, and bequeath to the new Seniors our perfectly good looking-glass which recently so suddenly disappeared, but was as quickly returned when Pres. Maple sent out some printed bills. 9. Being through with chemistry from now on henceforth and forevermore, Mr. House gives his unlimited knowledge of that subject to any one who will come and get it. 10. We give, devise, and bequeath all our broken chemistry apparatus, which has placed most of us on the wrong side of the ledger, to the new Freshmen, for whom said apparatus will provide much interesting and practical amusement, such as blowing bubbles or imitating certain members of the Beer Trust. 11. Mr. Walton gives his heartfelt thanks to Miss O’Connor for her untiring efforts in demonstrating to him the uses of the typewriter. 12. We hereby bequeath to Mr. Hammersehmidt and Miss Sellers our promise that, when the Great Day comes, we will all be there with our lamps lit. 13. We bequeath our sincere compliments to Emery Fisher for his newly acquired dignity since he has become a man. 14. 15. We give, devise, and bequeath to the new Freshmen our morals of widespread fame, hoping that they will use them honorably and to the best advantage. 16. We bequeath to M. H. S. our large ruby and black pennant to be placed on the front wall of the assembly room by the Juniors. We appoint our friends Emery Fisher and Florence Thatcher as executors of this our last will, and desire that they shall receive the usual fee when the work is done. IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF we have set our hands to this our last will and testa- ment, at Medina, this 12th day of June, 1913. Sherman Maple. Erwin Brought. Arthur P. French. The foregoing instrument was signed by the said Seniors in our presence, and by them published and declared as and for their last will and testament; and at their request, and in their presence, and in the presence of each other, we hereunto subscribe our names as attesting witnesses, at Medina, Ohio, this 12th day of June, A. D. 1913. Ifi ®ljr Annual (Elasa Proplfarg HELEN HOBART. Well, at last I’m here — just arrived from Medina; and let me tell you there’s one thing 1 that hasn’t changed jet, and that’s the “ Old Peduky.” I missed connections, and in consequence here I am, three hours late, for the New York Central still lives up to its former reputation. You know you never would recognize that town. Remember when we graduated, there was so much doing in the civic improvement line? They certainly have done won- ders with the place. You recall those pickle-forks they set out in each corner of the park? Well, they look like real sure-enough trees now. It certainly takes the women to accomplish things. They got started then, and now they’re running the whole place. Why, what do you think? They have a woman mayor; and now that the town has grown so large, and they need it, a woman police force. Isn’t it queer? One out of the class of 1913 is mayor. Guess who- — Myrle Pelton. You know she always did have lots of executive ability. Then we have two representatives on the police force — Lucille Blakes- lee and Maude Whipple. Doesn’t it seem odd? Time’s one more respect ni which the town has not changed, and that’s that slight propensity for gossip, which you perhaps remember. Before I had gotten around the square 1 had seen or heard from about all of my old schoolmates. As I passed along down Main St. I was surprised to see where, in our day, was the electric station, a new up-to-date drugstore. And you couldn’t guess in a year who owns il. Ceylon Woodruff! You know he made so good in chemistry at college. I remember Senior year how 1 used to envy him because he got A every month on his card in chem- istry, and always seemed to know what made some crazy stuff do one thing to some things and exactly the opposite to others. I heard he was recently married, but I can’t imagine to whom. He was always so fickle and frivolous he would first ingratiate himself into one poor girl’s affections, and then, presto! he’d be gone for a new conquest. As I was standing in front of the imposing building communing with my inner spirit, out steps the proprietor himself. You know he no longer works in the store. Years ago the Catch ’em and Skin ’em Mining Company hearing of his wonderful ability in chem- istry decided that they would hire him as their chief alchemist, so that now he is living- in Leadville turning quartz rock into pure gold by the ton; and from the way he looks 1 do believe it’s true. He had a white stone on his hand that glittered just like a real diamond, with a watch-fob that was so heavy it truly must have tired him to carry it. But howbeit he seemed right smart glad to see me; and as soon as he saw me looking in (he window he came out and told me that he too was home on a vacation; and aftelr asking me to have a five-cent soda with him he introduced me to the man who runs the store for him. I nearly fall over my stool when I say who that person is — no other than our old and distinguished classfate Pete House. You know Pete always was good in chemistry. He hadn’t changed much, was wearing a little French beard, and looked a little older, but he couldn’t fool me. I knew hi mright away. Hardly had I recovered from the shock of this surprise when, lo and behold! in the place where C. D. Wightman’s shingle kissed the breeze so many years a painfully new sign bore this inscription — “Webber Culler, Attorneys at L aw;” and when I remembered John’s fondness for ©Ij? Annual 17 debate, and Oscar’s logic, I wasn’t so much surprised. But a far greater surprise awaited me! I had to stop right there and take another heart tablet on the sidewalk; for, land’s sake ! there in front of the new Ziegler drygoods store stood Lucille Hunsberger giving parting instructions to Harold to be sure to be home in time for dinner, as she was expecting company. You know Lucille always was pretty good at talking, and I’m no slouch myself; and before we had talked ten minutes I knew where they were and what half the class was doing. She fired things at me so fast I just had to ask a question now and then. She said Marion Gleason was a vaudevillist star on the Keith circuit, which didn’t surprise me much, as she always said she wanted to be an actress, though I had thought that she aspired to Shakespeare; also that Zelma Renz had taken up a claim out west and was making barrels of money raising guinea pigs. And you wouldn’t believe it, when you consider his reluctance to practice commencement music. Layton Ganyard is a baritone soloist, appearing with Helen Clark, who is a famous reader with the Ridpath Lyceum Bureau. We walked on, talking in this fashion, and went into the library. As Lucille had already told me, I found Ruth Wright presiding at the head librarian’s desk. She called my attention to a book recently published on the subject of Scientific Farming ” edited by Wayne Anderson, and also said that Dr. Robert Beach had recently been figuring largely in the scientific world in connection with his newly discovered cure for American- itus Exhausticus, and everybody around Medina says lie’s tried it out on “ Fat Garver,” You remember how tired he always was. They say since the first treatment he works all the time. We strolled along up to the court-house where Luc-ile told me McKinley Ewing was guarding the sacred palladium of our liberties in what the women now call “ The Temple of Justice,” as county attorney. We used to be satisfied with calling it “ Court-house.” By mistake I wandered into the office of justice of the peace, and, imagine my surprise and embarrassment when I fonud I had entered on a little ceremony about to be per- formed by the justice, Glenn Geisinger. Julia didn’t act a bit fussed, but said I was just in time to be a witness. She and her husband were leaving shortly for Cincinnati where lie is interested in a large chewing-gum concern. When I had rather hastily departed from this scene I looked over toward the Congre- gational Church, and, oh town of surprises! I saw a sign which fairly took my breath away — Rev. John B. Renz, D. D., Pastor. And below, “ Missionary Meeting this morn- ing, at which Helen M. Ganyard, lately returned from a year’s work in China, will speak of her efforts among the heathen.” By this time Lucile had thought of some more interesting items, one of which was that Marcella Fisher, under the name of Mile. Mareelle, was doing a flourishing business as fashionable and exclusive modiste in New York, and tliat Evelyn Thatcher was inter- ested in the settlement work of the Associated Charities in Chicago. There were a few things that I could tell Lucile, and 1 started to launch my budget of news. I told her about Marion Branch. Perhaps you know she’s starring as a cowboy girl in the western branch of the American Moving Picture Film Co., and also that I had seen an article on the “ New American Girl,” illustrated by Sherman Maple. You remem- ber he used to show quite a bit of talent in that line when we were at school. Then Lucile interrupted me with the startling intelligence that Naomi Gault was principal of M. H. S. 1 came back at her with the news that Fred Kelser was now Caruso’s understudy, and that I knew a man who had heard him sing once. You know Arbie Carlton’s fondness during Senior year for the game of “ Hyde and seek.” Well, he hasn’t found her yet, but lie’s still seeking. Do you remember in the 1911 class-will how they left Plicky Heath to Caroline Simmons to cherish and guard for ever? She’s still carrying out instructions to the letter. Attmial 18 Dr. Leland Walton was home for commencement too. His painless dental parlors are one of the marvels of Poe; and as he was just as talkative as ever I soon learned all about them. Lucile told me Erwin Brought had gone west to grow up with the country. The poor boy! he was so young to leave home! The last she had heard of William Rauscher he was seen peddling his famous family remedies through northern Arkansas in a covered wagon. Cully Lowe, who happened down that way on his honeymoon, was so affected by hearing him sing “ On the Banks of Rocky River Far Away ” to the crowd around him one night that he hurried back to the hotel, paid his bill, and, forgetting his blushing bride, left Hallie to the tender ministrations of strangers, and caught the next train for Medina ; and if Arthur French had not happened along in his newly invented monoplane she might be there yet. Right here Lucile stopped and caught her breath. Poor thing! since she has grown so fat, she can not talk as she used to ; but she would have me go home with her for a cup of tea. My land ! it did taste good ; but, goodness alive ! it is nearly nine o’clock, and I must put this cat out and go to bed. This visit certainly has tuckered me out. Annual 19 Squints at (Cnmnuntmunil The class of 1913 was honored by one of the best baccalaureate sermons ever heard in Medinsi. Dr. Fritsch fairly outdid himself, and established a standard for all future efforts. The sermon is printed in its entirety in another place in this book. The whole March family looked well in “ Little Women,” and the entire cast, from rollicking, carefree Jo to demure little Beth, seemed to live the characters they portrayed. Superintendent Edmund invited C. C. Carlton, of Akron, to present the diplomas to the class, which was three-fourths his, and he responded in his usual felicitous fashion. Acclamations of regret and deep concern were heard on every hand at the illness of Mrs. Boult; but it is hoped that she is uoav on the high road to recovery. Two choruses were cut from the “ Rose Maiden,” and Miss O’Connor is receiving congratultions on every hand for her able assistance. Helen Hobart’s prophecy is one which will linger long in the minds of those who heard it — possibly not for its genuine literary value but for the genuine comedy which marked the allusions to each and every member of the class. It was great. The class play was a jewel. As an entity it was fine — in fact, it pleased the audience so well that the Civic Impi-ovement League asked a repetition on Saturday night following. Many moons will the memory of Tony Lumpkin, with his droll, childish impersona- tion, of the stately and dignified Hardcastle, and the silly, simpering Diggary, linger in the minds of the members and admirers of the class of ’13. That pair of youthful lovers whose troubles Goldsmith so well portrays, and the charming, singularly true-to-life work of Miss Hardcastle and Miss Neville, to say noth- ing of the troublous and uncertain frame of mind of that anxious dame, Mother Hardcastle - — these, I say, will be recollections which will be cherished as members of the class of this unlucky year turn through the pages of this work of the Junior class and look at the picture as it is given on another page. Handsome, dignified, courtly Leland Walton! What a figure he made in powdered wig and ruffled coat ! And the three Jolly Pigeons, as they say around the table at the inn. can not soon be forgotten. How gaily the barmaid tripped it to the time of Annie’s fiddle with handsome Tony Lumpkin ! zn Sljr Annual WHAT SHAKESPEARE THINKS ABOUT THE SENIORS. JULIA ANDERSON. Glee Club ’13.

Never choicy, liked them at his shoestrings; pulled in a wide one, or a tall one just as calmly. Always placed the good of the team above his own personal ambition.

Attmtal 39 Slmttnr da0a Ifotunj Three years lias the class of 1914 trodden the rough and rocky road that leads to graduation. Many an air castle has been rudely demolished, many a balloon punctured by the cold-blooded heartlessness of the Powers that Be.” Yet, calm and serene the class still stands, though not unscarred, hopeful and courageous. ’Twould be too long a tale to recount the valorous deeds which the knighthood of this class has fathered, not the least of which is, if you please, the diffusion of the “ gray matter ” which has called this “ An- nual ” in being.

THE CLASS OF ' 15 ©fjp Annual 41 S’npluunurr Class tfnstnry The M. H. S. class of 3915 entered as Freshmen with the great number of seventy- seven. Here we were taken care of by Miss Sellers, who watched over us faithfully throughout our first year. Our idea of high school was class parties and good times, which we carried out to a full extent. Our first class party, a marshmallow roast at Dannley’s, was saddened by an accident to one of our members caused by the customary interest of Seniors in Freshman affairs. This we soon made up for by a sleighride party to Starr’s, from which we returned at break of day as the roosters were crowing. Most had little tim e for sleep that night, and were lucky if they returned home in time for breakfast. This, with four other class parties and many other good times, completed the social life of our Freshman year. In respect to our studies (a secondary matter with us), our greatest terror was spell- ing, which came once a week, for which we never had time to prepare from one time to the next, not because it was so difficult, but because of ceiffain unnecessary rules (so we thought) connected with it. We also stood in fear of the Literary and the terrors of speech-making were unbounded; but all attended the banquet at the end of the year in great spirits. The second year about fifty gay young Sophomores took possession of the Assembly- Room on account of their number under the guardianship of Miss O’Connor. Again our first class party was a marshmallow roast, which terminated much more happily than the first. We enjoyed many other good times, especially the high-school masquerade dance given on the suggestion of the Sophomores. A good time was had at a roller-skating party until certain ordered ice cream failed to appear, on account of which we returned home early, found the ice cream, and enjoyed refreshments at Dad’s restaurant. During the two years we have faithfully obeyed ten different teachers and two super- intendents. Our Sophomore year has been presided over by the following officers: Presi- dent, Branch Pierce; Vice-president, Dana Whipple; Secretary, Genevieve Nichols; Treas- urer, Edith Shepard; and now about forty “ Jolly Juniors ” are entering a third year of high-school life, given as follows : Lucile Allen, Lloyd Heath, Rhea Rounds, Earl Arick, William Hobart, Dorris Searles, Beatrice Blakslee, Anna Holcomb, Ernest Robinson, Dorothy Bradway, Florence Johnson, Joseph Seymour, Julia Bailey, Sadie Kernan, Edith Shepard, Manly Burgin, Marjorie Kindig, Orene Sherman, Ruth Burkett, Ethel Kreiger, Louise Starr, Harold Burnham, Dessie Leatherman, Ralph Stuart, Geraldine Canavan, Otto Morlock, James Thayer, Mable Chidsey, Genevieve Nichols, Emanuel Tin st man Emily Clark, Mabel Patchett, Helen Tubbs, Alfred Dannley, Branch Pierce, Ralph Waters, Alsetta Fretz, Jennie Rickert, Nancy Watters, Miriam Gray, Mildred Pettit, Hazel Roberts, Dana Whipple. THE CLASS OF ' 16 utyr Annual 43 JF mi haunt ijiatory Time lias changed the Freshman “Babes ” who, years ago, started to kindergarten with Miss Ella. The following formed the original class: Ellen White, Helen Webber, Mary Humphrey, Irene Beedle, Doris Searles, Ralph Waters, Dorothy Bradway, Zola Turner, Jessie Hill, Luella Kern, Margaret Borger, Lydia Bartholomew, Mabel Tliomsett, Irene Bostwic-k, Welton Ferriman Lilly Smith Welthren Fenn, Wilbur Arick, Florence Leach, Ida Cannon, Tony Vittle, Victor Newberry, Chester Morgan, Walter Huggman Roy Gebhart, Ruth Hoddinott. During the third and fourth years four of our brightest were promoted: Doris Searles, Ralph Waters, Dorothy Bradway, Ruth Hoddinott. Of the original twenty-six now only seven remain in the Freshman class: Ellen White, Helen Webber, Mary Humphrey, Irene Beedle, Ruth Hoddinott, Wilbur Arick, Florence Leach. The Freshman class has now increased to forty-eight. At the beginning of the year it numbered fifty-three. Seven have left school: Lloyd Leatherman, Homer Witter, Nettie Maple, Walter Baker, Margueritte Simmons, Paul Taylor, Gertrude Sprankle. Two have been added : Rena Be May and Alfred Ruder, and now at the end of the year we boast of the following forty-eight members: Faith Anderson, Wilbur Arick, Irene Beedle, Alice Best, Dudley Borger, Marie Bidle, Fred Bohley, Ray Bishop, Herbert Bradway, Raymond Case, Pearl Canavan, Guy Chamberlain, Rena DeMay, Faye Fenton, Thomas Ferriman, Paul Friedel, Albert Gill, Charles Griesinger, Avonell Handchy, Ruth Hoddinott, Mary Humphreys, Gladys Hude, Alice Kehren, Foster Kindig, Florence Leach, Andrew Long, An cel Mann, Helen McDowell, Inez McNeal, Owen Nixon, Alfred Ruder, Leu Rawlings, Dorothy Rex, Florence Rex, 44 Annual Max Sargeant, Dwight Shepard, Oretta Shaw, Howard Stanley, Edward Stevens, Ruth Turner, Ray Treffinger, Ressie Walker, Beulah Wallace, Everet Warren, Helen Webber, Elon Wheeler, Ellen White. We have had numerous teachers, among whom were: Miss Dawley, Mrs. M. T. right, Miss Drake, Miss Warner, and Miss Wheatley. Let us always remember our high-school teachers: Miss Sellers, Miss Swisher, Mr. Smith, Miss Schmidt, Miss Ebert, Mr. Edmund, Miss O’Connor, and Miss Crockett. Our way has been “ beset with hardships,” as some authors put it, but we survived them. We had class parties, and, with the aid of some of the other grades, gave various entertainments, among which were “ Hiawatha ” and a patriotic cantata. Our eighth grade commencement was composed of selections from Riley’s best lover poems and numer- ous songs. We had our eighth-grade picnic too. The boys and girls played a baseball game, the girls playing right-handed and the boys left-handed. The boys won, score 8 to 1. We at last arrived in our Freshman year. Just think of it! we were not teased much by those lordly Sophs. To show them that we can be as nice and pleasant as they, we will not fret the future Freshman very much. At the beginning of the year we elected Lloyd Leatherman class president. For class colors we first chose purple and gold ; later we changed this to black and yellow ; but now our colors are a cool light green and white. Lloyd Leatherman left school, and we elected Fred Bohley president. We had many- very enjoyable class parties, and we think the most of us have been happy. For our Literary Society we elected Florence Leach president; Helen McDowell secretary ; Faith Anderson leader of A side ; Lloyd Leatherman leader of the B side. We had many interesting programs during the year, composed of exciting debates, all sorts of recitations, current events, good themes, jerky, extemporaneous speeches, besides ridiculous jokes on every one possible. Among the good things was the generous advice handed us by the teachers. (The above was not intended as a slam.) At the last meeting of the Litex-ary the score was B 31, A 16. The score in the Upper Class Society was B 21, A 20. So the A’s united in giving the Literary Banquet to the B’s. Thex-e cei’tainly were some fine toasts given that Txxesday evening at the Congregational Church. We are glad to nxxmber among us the baseball playex-s Bohley and Sai-geaixt and the Sub. Ferriman, all of whom we expect to be on the team next year. We have helped make our fine team which almost can’t be beat. We know we shall finish the year with glory, merging into a fine Sophomoi’e class, a Junior, then a Senior. So here’s to the class of 1916! Rah! Rah! Medina!
