Animal 10 QUuhh tRbynu ' BY RUTH BEATRICE FERRIMAN We’re just about to say goodbye To our Alma Mater, Medina High. As we come out from ’neatli her wing We’re wondering what the years will bring. We all are sure to do something great; Nothing else can be our fate! But before we spread our wings to fly Please wait to hear me prophesy. Just look at Doc Damon over there; Already he has a professional air ! Prom his patience now, patients will come. Watch him! He will be going some. Here’s Bennett, the leader of our band, Who, I predict, will turn out grand ; And when his name heads the scroll of fame, How glad we’ll be that lie’s ours to claim. Sober and quiet, demure Clara Penn Seems as shy as a little brown wren ; But really, she is just full of life, And will make some man a dandy wife. Here are jolly Flo and laughing Lizz; When they take hold, things have to whiz; Where’er we are, when we hear their voice In spite of sorrow our hearts will rejoice. Cole, you say? Oh, he’ll win fame! No doubt he’ll invent an aeroplane. His studious mind and industrious hand We know will accomplish something grand. Emery Fisher’s our funny man. He’ll always do the best that he can To drive away our grief and sadness, And fill our hearts with joy and gladness. Harold Harrington knows how to write, In this, as all else, lie’s certainly bright. In years to come we’ll read his stuff, And never be able to get enough.

Annual IB Harrington decided to cast their lot with us. We have acquired such reputation thruout the county that this year Arthur McQuate and Carl Woodward, graduates oj Litchfield and Sharon respectively, asked permission to come to M. H. S. for the express purpose of graduating with our class. To be sure, with all these additions we are only twenty-two in number, hut we think quantity is so insignificant beside quality. For instance, we have a poetess, a Biblical authority, a jester minus cap and bells, a doctor, a fashion plate, an inspiring and aspiring musician, active Y. M. C. A. workers, disciplined cadets, sturdy foot-ball men, enthusiastic base-ball players plus rooters, and truly brainy as well as brawny fellows. It is with a feeling of regret that we are leaving our friends, and, as we separate, following different paths in life, we shall always cherish fond recollections of those happy days spent in dear old Medina High. A tapping bell and a crowd of noisy, carefree children aroused me from my dreams. I jumped from my perch and quickly slipped away, reproving myself for even imagining our class to be superior to any other.

20 Gllje Annual We’re proud of tall fair Geraldine. Sometime surely she will be seen Rivaling her namesake, G. Ferrar, As a blazing operatic star. Ralph already has won his name, And he’ll continue to win more fame As long as he cleverly draws the bow, And sweetly makes the music flow. Gardner too we all have seen, A bright star of the foot-ball team; And as he there kept up the strife, Just so he’ll play his part in life. Carlton will till the soil, they say, In a thoroughly scientific way. We ' ll call on him when we plan an “ eat;” He’ll surely give his old classmates a treat. Sims and Shane and Sidney High Will win their laurels by and by. They’ll climb the heights tho others fail; Their faults, we’ll ne’er have cause to wail. Our Evelyn Kreiger and Hettie Gill Will guide the children up Wisdom Hill. But alas, to marry her homliest beau Is the dismal fate of pretty Maude Lowe. Adams with his violincello Will make music, sweet and mellow, And his voice we’ll often hear In the village choir, near. Don’t forget Woodward and Arthur McQuate. We’re sorry they entered our class so late, With their music and cheer. Indeed, it’s clear For them no future we need to fear. Of myself I have little to say, Only this in a humble way : What’er my lot of work may be My duty clear I’ll try to see; Often my thoughts will turn to you all And the pleasant hours and joys recall. Then life will be more bright and clear For the happy days together here. This small class of twenty-two I promise you will aim to do The best they can in quiet ways, Nor duties shirk for want of praise; And as the days grow into years With hopes and joys and many fears, I trust Medina High “ Fourteen ” May ever be in memory green.
