Medina High School - Medinian Yearbook (Medina, OH)

28 Annual A glance at last year’s Annual shows that our original Freshman number was forty- seven. Many of these are gone, and at the present time we boast only thirty-five; for Raymond Case and Lloyd Leatherman dropped out about the middle of the year. When we came into this High School in 1912, the Board of Education, realizing that an exceptional class was entering, made every effort possible to provide for our comfort. They carried this careful consideration to the extent of putting Miss Pearl Sellers, now Mrs. Wm. Hammerschmidt, in charge of our room. That first year was a sad one to us for at every turn some Junior like Fisher was continually scaring us, or hitting us with a wooden eraser. That is all changed now. You ought to see how we make those “ Eighth Grade Freshmen ” “ walk chalk.” They even shine our shoes and brush our clothes with- out our bidding. We have our Best girl always with us. Our Faith never falters. We learned in Latin that rex means king; so we rejoice that we have two scions of royalty amongst us. We have a Shepard to watch our flock, a Sargeant to drill us, a Leach to cure us; in fact, we will not Hyde from you that we consider the Class of 1916 the bright and shining light of old Medina High!

During the year, Inez Brockway came into our class. In our second year several were promoted into the third grade, and, at the same time, Margaret Borger and Amy Slater entered the class. The following year, Lester Campbell and Harold Baque were added to our number, but several others were taken from us so that the total remained nearly the same. The year after, our last in the primary grades, we lost several of our former classmates, but none which are now with us entered the class at that time.
