HHHH To Eleanor Schmidt, instructor in German, 1911-1914, and Flor- ence O’Connor Osgood, instructor in the Commercial Department, 1913- 1915, as a token of friendship and sincere regard this publication is dedicated bv the Class of 1917. THE ANNUAL BOARD. Harold Baque Leland Longacre Wynne Boyden Raymond Bennett Florence Leach Dale Coons Blake Munson Metta Dell Green Walter Leach Ruth Gill tFnmunrii “ The proof of the pudding is in the eating ' of it,” — so we, the Annual Board, will let you judge our work. Neither boasting nor apologizing will add to our fame or decrease our blame. But in order that you may know where the blame (or praise) should be directed, may we inform you that Wynne Boyden, our editor-in-chief, has been working 25 hours a day on the publication for the past three months; Harold Baque, the business manager, has had charge of the advertising department, as all the business men of Medina will testify; Raymond Bennett, our “humorous ” editor, has grown thin collecting jokes( l ?) ; Florence Leach, our high-school artist, is responsible for the cartoons; Dale. Coons has patiently typewritten all the material; Blake Munson and Leland Longacre have looked after the athletic copy; and Ruth Gill and Metta Dell Green have assisted everyone, besides finding appropriate quotations for all the graduates. Our faculty members were Mr. Kraeft, who took all group pictures and copied the baby pictures, and Miss Beech, who has supervised all the departments. We are very much indebted to all who have contributed to the success of this, the fourth annual edition of “ The Crimson and Gray.” We wish to thank especially the Business Men, Mr. Hawkins, and the Faculty for their excellent support and cooperation.

This one thing I do, forgetting those things which ore behind , and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus . — Philippjans 3:13-14. This is the advice given to the Church and it is applicable to our use tonight. St. Paul was a man of large attainments; as a scholar he had sat at the feet of Gamaliel; he was a man of exceptional wisdom. He had been blessed in that he had received a special revelation from Heaven. A man with these advantages should have been satisfied; not so with St. Paul. He was an unsatisfied man. He realized that there were still greater attainments than those already in his possession. This high attainment for him was Jesus Christ, the highest ideal for us all. Had Paul been perfectly satisfied with himself and the world in which he lived, there would have been no chain of churches in Europe, Asia and America today. He was unsat- 14 ©lye Annual isfiecl and not willing to cease labor. He must be active and obtain results. Satisfaction would have meant stagnation and great loss to the world. The satisfied person has reached his or her goal ; for such a one there are no more worlds to conquer, no lofty height to arouse ambition. He has reached his highest level, work ceases, and usefulness forever lies dormant. On the other hand, who would dare, by thought or art, to try to limit the possibility of the unsatisfied? From this class we have derived great benefit. Early geographies con- tained maps of the United States with a great stretch marked, “ The American Desert.” In Columbus’ time the map of the world had peculiar characters marking the then unknown parts of the globe. Today the maps are different ; we even know about the north and south pole, because men were unsatisfied and forever reaching out. Since the days when people just landed on the Virginia and the New England coast, the unsatisfaction on the part of the pioneer has given us a country extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific. We are also indebted to our scholars and men of science for their unsatisfied condition and their determination to acquire more than they already possess. I wish you to note that unsatisfaction is not dissatisfaction. Unsatisfaction is constructive; it builds up, it investigates, it leaves results behind. Dissatisfaction is distinctive. It builds nothing; it is not satisfied with things; it produces grumblers, complainers, and faultfinders. Unsatisfaction, then, makes us reach out from the present in the hope of attaining more ; therefore, to be able to do more. I. We then have a mission in the world, which is “ to do.” “ Deeds are the coin of Heaven; Faith without works is dead.” So give a cup of cold water in Christ’s name. Do the will of my Fat her which is in Heaven. Christ worked — Paul worked; we are to work and do things according to our several abilities. In this age of intellectual attainments, we know that knowledge is power. During your school life you have been like a storage battery connected with a great dynamo (the American Public School System) storing up knowledge, absorbed from teach- er, book, and class. Now you are to be disconnected from these, and expected to reproduce in the many avenues of life — this knowledge or power. Use it wisely, use it to the very best advantage, and bring glory and honor to your school by doing something. II. Man’s work is to do one thing and do it well, rather than to do many things imperfectly. Concentration is absolutely necessary to success. There are many Jacks of all Trades, but when we need to have a delicate operation performed we seek a specialist who has made this one branch a specialty. The tendency of this age is in the direction of specialization — one who is an expert in one particular line of labor or thought. Select a calling for which you are best fitted ; you know the direction in which your inclination lies. All cannot be laborers, mechanics, teachers, professional people; still, there is an affinity between them all. They all work together for the common good of mankind. When you have selected your life’s work then magnify it. Honor your calling and endeavor to make it the very best vocation in the world. Put your heart, mind and energy into it and always be proud of the one thing you have chosen. ®lj£ Annual 15 Never envy others, or their callings; never think theirs is a more successful career than your own. All sails look snowy white in the distance, but are no whiter than others when close at hand. III. The method of successful doing. Forget the past with its mistakes and failures; forget even the already high attain- ments. Be active and make the most of the present. Live in the present and be optimistic. Try to penetrate the future; ever push onward. “ Launch out into the deep.” Do not long for the good old times; if it were possible for them to return we would be very much disappointed with them. Do not think that all the opportunity for advance- ment was in the good old days. There is more opportunity in the present than there ever was in the past for the one who is fitted to receive it. Do not try to turn the wheels of progress backward by always looking and longing for the past. Lot’s wife looked back and became a pillar of salt. Many young lives with everything before them have become pillars of salt because they refused to forget the past and turned back upon the future. Believe the “ Golden Age ” is still future, arid that still greater things are to be brought out in the future than have been in the past, even though we are very much in- debted to the past for many things of our everyday life. Then we must be strenuous, up and doing, determined to achieve. As all roads led to Rome, so should your every effort lead toward your chosen ideal. Do not sleep or become indifferent. Keep awake to your opportunity. “ He who would attain great heights must work into the small hours of the night while his brethren sleep.” Be optimistic. Life is worth living. The world is bright before you. Success awaits your taking it. Choose a fitting position; then aim high and make yourself invaluable to the world, your employer, and the community. Resolve to keep your eye ever upon the prize and use every effort to obtain it by constant activity. Be not like the stagnant pool which becomes poisonous, but rather like the rippling stream; no matter how small you may be, its activity leads it into larger and still larger streams until it finally becomes part of the great ocean. To the Class of 1916 : You remind me of a great ship ready to be launched. Twelve years ago the keel, or the backbone of your education was laid down. Year after year the work of construction has progressed. Ribs, plates and armor have been added until today you are a completed production of “ Medina High School.” In a few days the props and stays (your teachers) which have supported you during this long period will be taken away. The “ Farewell ” of the Superintendent will be the final signal which will release you from all connection with your school. Surrounded by relatives and friends, you will glide down the ways into the sea of commercial, professional, and domestic life upon which you are to sail unaided and alone. May you each have a happy and prosperous life under the care of the Captain of our Salvation, who will reward the faithful and give to them the prize for which they have worked so hard.

Therefore we will limit these annals to a statement of those facts that concern the class as a whole. We are the second class to graduate from Medina County Normal School. We are proud of our school. It is our firm conviction that there is none better. This pride we believe is pardonable for it is based not alone upon our own observation and experience but upon the expressed judgment of the State Department at Columbus. Our director is Mr. N. L. Stear, who is aided in the task of instructing us by Mr. W. S. Edmund, Mr. C. E. Jenks, Miss Ethel Rimes, Miss Florence McGonagle, Miss Mildred Kirkpatrick, and Mr. W. C. Rohde. A very enjoyable part of our school year was that spent in Practice Teaching, the value and pleasure of which are due to the kindly attitude and helpfulness of all the grade teachers. With such an excellent corps of teachers we were carefully Stear (ed) along the Rhod(e) to success by the tuneful Rimes of Captain Jenks. If perchance we should lag behind, Miss Kirkpatrick was called to help us along with her drawing apparatus. In school Mr. Edmund looked after our Classroom Management, while outside we were forced to walk in accordance with the dictates of our physical training teacher, Miss McGonagle. This history would not be complete without mention of some of our social gatherings. They consisted of a hike to (he home of Helen Tubbs, and a “ Kid Party ” given by the Misses Keyser and Brubaker. Later we enjoyed a “ Poverty Social ” at the home of Miss Florence Thatcher. But the crowning feature of the year took place one moonlight evening in May at the home of Miss Helen Bryenton at Litchfield. It was here that Mr. Stear featured in an “ Animal Game ” where he showed himself to be an authority when it comes to braying like a donkey. Along with our pleasure we had to take our portion of toil and uncertainty, the lattei- of which was all cleared up at the end of the year when a majority of the class secured positions for the following year, while the rest were assured of good schools for the fall..

In behalf of the class of 1916 1 welcome you to this, our High School commencement. Perhaps at times some of us have felt that it was not worth while and have almost decided to drop out. But I am sure that now not one of us feels that his time has been wasted; for whether we go to college or immediately begin our life work, the little we have learned in this course will be of immeasurable value to us. During our sojourn the school has changed very noticeably. The enrollment has con- tinually increased until this year there were 287 pupils. To keep up with the times the courses have been changed to suit the needs of every one. Formerly only those studies were taught which tended to cultivate the mind and which had no direct application to life, but now there are courses which tit us for work immediately upon leaving school. Domestic science, business courses, and this year manual training, have been addled to the list, so now a pupil may get almost anything he could possibly need. Tonight we receive the certificates which show that we have completed the work and are no longer members of Medina High. We have, mingled with the satisfaction of having accomplished something worth while, a tinge of sadness at leaving, for we can never forget the happy years spent in old M. H. S., and whatever may be our several fates in the future, we can always look back upon this period in our lives with genuine pleasure. We thank the superintendent, who, during our entire course has helped us with good advice and encouragement and has done everything in his power for us and the school. We thank the teachers for their efforts and sacrifices in our behalf. We know that at times we have seemed impossible to them. However, they did not give up trying to teach us conjugations and theorems and other fundamentals, but kept on doing their best, and if we did not appreciate it then, we do now and we thank them for it. We thank the Board of Education for everything they have done in the interest of the betterment of the school, and for all the new courses and equipment they have given us the advantage of using. And we thank you all for your co-operation in maintaining such a good school in the community. (The spirit of S rrutrr BY RUTH HODDINOTT, VALEDICTORIAN The best use any man can make of his life is to spend it in service for others. If a person desires to be remembered long after he is dead, let him do something to stamp himself upon the minds and hearts of mankind. Let him set himself the task of benefiting his fellowmen and there is little likelihood that he will be soon forgotten. This old world has been in existence for thousands of years. No one knows the exact length of time since it began. Think of the countless numbers of people who have lived upon the earth during the centuries. of its life. There are comparatively few of them about whom we know anything. We would never have heard about these feiv if they had not Mitnr Hrpartmntt 3X reached some extraordinary achievement or had not played an important part in the world’s history. What did they do which makes them worthy of note ? They were men of one aim and one purpose. What was this purpose? To benefit others. Then they remained at their task and finally accomplished the end which they were seeking. Columbus, though ridiculed and scorned, was firm in liis belief that India could be reached by sailing west. No obstacle daunted him and at last he made valuable discoveries. William of Orange was a man of one task, that of freeing his Dutch countrymen from the Spanish tyrant Philip II. Even when confronted by the ablest generals of Europe he would not give up but steadfastly clung to his purpose. Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, when he saw the need of the leaderless Protestants, came down to help them. Through his indomitable will and his desire to be of use, he averted the overthrow with which Protes- tantism was threatened in Germany. We could continue naming great men who have become famous because they did not swerve from their purpose, the purpose of helping others. Many men and women have spent lives of service for mankind. Some have done great things like the ones mentioned. Others have done the smaller tasks, yet they are reverenced and honored as much as the ones who have been able to do the larger tilings. Sir Philip Sidney gave his last drink of water to a dying enemy. Sir Walter Raleigh spread his velvet cloak across a mud muddle so that the queen would not get her feet wet. These were little acts, yet they have been remembered for years. What does the name Florence Nightingale suggest? Wealth or fame? No. The very mention of her name suggests helpfulness and gentleness in earing for the sick and wound- ed soldiers. Why is Jane Addams respected and honored today? Because she gave herself and her time to serving other people. The secret of all these lives, whether they did the greater or smaller tasks, was that they did the task which lay immediately before them. Again and again Carlyle says: “ Do thy duty, the duty that lies nearest thee.” This is what these men and women did. To some, great opportunities were presented. They did their duty and accomplished great things. To others, smaller chances were offered. They did their duty and the smaller tasks were done. At any rate, they did not sit idle and do nothing because they could not do the large tasks. There is need of this same spirit today. Not every one can do great services for his fellow-countrymen as did William of Orange or Gustavus Adolphus, but each one is capa- ble of doing the smaller things, as did Sidney and Raleigh. True, we may not have the opportunity to give a dying soldier a drink or to spread a velvet cloak before a queen, but we need and may have the spirit which prompted those men to their acts. At least, let us do something. There is always hope in a man who actually and earnestly works. While we are working, if we do the duty that lies nearest us. we are very sure to be helping some one else, for duties often come in human form. Let us each one do our part. Carlyle says again : “ Produce! Were it but the infinitesimal fraction of a Product, produce it, in God’s name! ’Tis the utmost that is in thee; out with it, then.” Along with the examples already given, this should incite us to do our best even though it may be little. Perhaps some think it not of much importance that another class is graduating from Medina High School. But Medina has been doing a great service to its young people of this and coming generations by providing good schools in which to train them. Some of 32 (TIip Amtrntl us may continue our education by a college course, and some may enter upon life’s duties at once. Some may do the great things and some may do the little things, but we shall all remember that we owe a large part of our success to the people of Medina who made it possible for us to attend a good high school. And so we wish to thank every one who has helped to make Medina High what it is. The board of education has done all in its power to have the school measure up to a high standard of excellence and we express our gratitude to them. We are especially indebted to Mr. Edmund and to all our teachers for their part. We feel that they are really our friends and are willing to help us when we need assistance. Then, too, we want to say “ thank you ” to our parents for we could not have gone to school at all if it had not been for them. They have made it possible for us to spend four happy years here. But most of all, we owe our thanks to God. for “ every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and cometh from the Father of light.” He has watched over us and has brought us to this commencement night and we are grateful. This is a very happy occasion for us. We have completed four years of hard work and have come to the crowning event of our high school course. Tonight we are full of enthusiasm for the tasks that shall come. We know that “ excellence is never granted to mail except as the reward of labor,” so we are willing to work for the successes we hope to obtain. We intend to overcome every obstacle in our way. Each of us feels as Long- fellow did when he said. The star of the unconquered will Arises in my breast. Serene, and resolute, and still, And calm, and self-possessed. ffllaaa ijiatnry BY ELON C. WHEELER We entered Medina High School on September 9. 1912, and our proudest boast is that Mr. Edmund came with us. The only thing that we regret, not as a school but as a senior •class, is that he cannot graduate with us. The first memorable event in our high school career was the forming of a Freshman Literary Society. The officers were: Florence Leach, President, and Helen McDowell, Secertary. The class was then divided into sides A and B. The A’s were victorious and we had our banquet with the upper classes. We had much difficulty in decid ing upon class colors; purple and gold, and black and white being chosen in turn. Finally, realizing the funeral effect a room decorated in the latter would present, we chose pale green and white, and we have since been faithful to this combination. During the Freshman year we had several very enjoyable class parties. One of them was a sleigh ride and oyster supper at Avonell Handchy’s home west of the fair grounds. A year crept on and we again entered high school, not as disconsolate little Freshmen, but as big Sophomores, happy because we now had some one to look down upon. It was a rather quiet year. Our slogan was to work ! work ! work ! However, there were a couple rnor 33 of happenings worthy of note. One occurred in the Caesar class, when Ancel Mann was sent to the office; in fact, there were so many deported that Gladys Hyde had to go along’ to see that they got there safely, and when they did arrive there was scarcely room to get inside. Now, for fear that I have given you a poor opinion of the class, just hunt up your old 1914 annual and look at the picture of the bridges made by a couple of its members. The other excitement was the burning of a shock of corn near the Northern Ohio Railroad track while we were on a field trip in that vicinity. As there had not been a train along for over a week, we decided the corn must have been cut too green and that the fire was caused by spontaneous combustion. The chief social events of the year were the oyster supper given us by the Juniors and a fine sligh ride to Alice Kehren’s home in Brunswick. In the Junior year Freda McMillan and Stanley Hartman joined us. Our greatest accomplishment in 1914-1915 was the Annual of that date, which speaks for itself to all who have read it. We also gave a banquet for the huge Senior class, which was an event of no small importance. A terrible calamity was narrowly averted at the high school picnic at the end of the year when we almost lost one of our most influential members at the Lake. Charles Griesinger thought it fitting that he should take his Sophomore lady for a little boat ride. He went, unheeding the gathering clouds and on-coming darkness. A tremendous storm followed and we gave them up for lost. But some time after it had abated they managed to get to shore unharmed. We did, however, lose our star baseball player the next summer when Tom Ferriman entered the state of matrimony. Around rolled the wheels of time and we became dignified Seniors. This year there came to us Charles Turner, Howard Hawk, Willie Waters, Loren Swigart, and Reinhold Harbert. We had done so well with our business affairs of the previous year that we decided upon an undertaking which some other organizations failed to pull through — namely, managing the lecture course. The town was thoroughly canvassed, and, as a result, the people were given one of the best courses offered here for years, and with the proceeds we have purchased a program clock for the high school, which will long be a memorial to the class of 1916. Two pleasant social events this year were the sleigh ride party at Willie Watters’ home, and the picnic at Alice Kehren’s, where we had our last gathering as Seniors. All declared it the finest picnic they had ever attended. Irene Beeclle, Ruth Hoddinott, Mary Humphrey, Florence Leach, Helen Webber and Ellen W T hite have been with the class of 1916 since Kindergarten Days; fifty-three entered high school in 1912, and thirty-nine, tried and tested, have been graduated. May the friendships formed during this time be lasting. And age when it chills us shall fasten the tire That youth fitted round its circle of fire. 191fi S’tatistirfl BY CHARLES TURNER The class of 1916, although not as large as last year’s boasters, who brought in the Normals to help swell their number, is above the average in every respect. One peep at it will convince the most critical of this fact. Any way, it is quality and not quantity which 34 Annual is most sought after these days, which statement was brought home to us very forcibly when Miss Beecli graded our themes. We have 39 members, 21 girls and 18 boys, 1 1 6 girls to 1 boy. The oldest member is Charles Turner, 20 years, 11 months; the youngest, Florence Rex, 15 years, 8 months. The average age of the girls is 18 years; that of the boys, 18 years, 10 months. Of the girls, Irene Beedle, Florence Leach and Lue Rawlings are nearest this average; of the boys, Elon Wheeler is nearest. The total age is 719 years, which added to 1916 makes 2635, the time when aeroplanes will be out of date and people in their gravity-neutralizing machines will be making Sunday afternoon excursions to Mars. The heavy weight is Andrew Long, 184 lbs. The bantam weight is Avonell Iiandehey, 93 lbs. The total weight is 5204 lbs. or over 21 2 tons. The average weight of the boys is nearly 150 lbs. and the girls 1191 2 lbs. Height? Well, to tell you the “Long” and short of it, Andrew is 6 ft. IV 2 inches long; Lue Rawlings, 4 ft. II inches short. The average height is 5 ft. 6 inches. There are 29 blonds and 10 brunettes. The studies that seem to be favorites are Chemistry, German, Domestic Science, English and Latin. As for hobbies, we have a goodly assortment, dancing, singing, athlet- ics, good times and automobiling being the favorites. Howard Hawk still has faith in the movies, while Ancel Mann says his favorite diversion is talking in the hall with one of those “ hubby-lmnters,” and he sees to it that his hobby-horse doesn’t get cramps from disuse. Of the 39, 8 do not expect to attend college, 3 -are undecided, 12 are not certain as to the place, and the rest will go to Ohio State, Oberlin, Bald win- Wallace, Lowethrope School, Wellesley, and Business Colleges. The Class of ’15 are not the only ones to boast of confirmed church-goers. We have 16 Oongregationalists, 15 Methodists, 3 Lutherans, 2 Baptists, 1 United Brethren, 1 Episcopal, and 1 Catholic. Fifteen of the 39 come from the country. The student coming from the longest distance is Alice Kehren, who lives 7 miles from school. The whole class travels 220 miles each day, which is 22 33 of the distance from Medina to Chicago as the crow flies. The size of our shoes runs to extremes, anywhere from U 2 to 9 ] 2) Avonell having the Cinderilla foot while Jim Long belongs to the “ clod-hoppers.” As to the length of the shoes, all I can say is that if they are placed toe to heel they would extend 66 ft. or exactly 4 rods. It is rather interesting to notice how we stand on politics. There are 6 Democrats, 6 Republicans, 1 Prohibitionist, 1 Home Rule, 1 Socialist, 5 who are neutral, 16 suffragettes and 3 fair antis who denounce woman suffrage in no uncertain terms. Our joker is Faye Fenton, which role is not at all difficult for him as he is a joke himself. There is one thing in which we have always been interested and that is athletics. While we have not put as many men on the baseball and football teams as have previous classes, the quality has been of the best — Watters, Hawk, Borger, and Swigart being our representatives. As a crowning feature, the class of 1916 is the only one that attempted to run a lecture course which did not “ run into the hole.” This is enough to distinguish us from all others. Again we have been firm believers in that old adage “ Business before pleasure,” and have had but one class party all this Senior year, which should set a good example for other classes. Whatever may be our future work, wherever we may scatter, we shall always remain loyal, always remember and keep a warm spot in our hearts for the many happy hours we have spent at M. II. S. Vive la ! Medina High ! ftttor Stepartnwnt 35 flrnplimj BY AVON ELL HANDCHY, PAUL FRIEDEL, AND ANDREW LONG. Avonell: “ Well, for goodness’ sake, Andrew Long! I haven’t seen you for just ages. What brought you to Cleveland? or are you living here? Andrew: “ Say, this fs a surprisle! No; T don’t live here; I am a traveling salesman, and, as I have three hours until my train leaves, I thought I would come out to this park. But, tell me, what are you doing now?’’ Avonell : “ I am a traveling Y. W. C. A. secretary, and came here to attend the con- vention. If you can spare a few minutes let’s sit down on this bench and talk over old times.” Andrew : “ All right.” Avonell: “ I surely would like to hear from all my old schoolmates.. You know Florence Leach has taken up landscape gardening and has just completed this park.. I hear that it is the most beautiful one in the United States and is noted for its playgrounds and flower beds. Isn’t the whole thing lovely? ” Andrew :“ It certainly is beautiful, but it can’t be compared with the grounds around the home of our chief engineer, Charles Turner, for they can scarcely be surpassed.” Avonll:“I always knew that boy would be a success. While attending a convention at Oberlin, I chaperoned some girls at the May Day Festival. Faye Fenton was the chief tenor soloist and after everything was over lie took me to a restaurant for supper. I was very much surprised to learn that the proprietor was Stanley Hartman. He is doing a flourishing business catering to the student trade. Andrew: “ That reminds me of Duel Forger, who was one of his old pals and whom I met in New York. He is manager of the Giants, and told me that Alice Best was his stenographer. He evas sueing Paul Friedel, the editor of the New York Times , for some very unjust things which that paper had said about him. I have since heard that he won the case.” Avonell :“ Well, I’m glad he did. Last April I had the good luck to talk to President Thompson of Ohio State and learned from him that Ellen White is his private stenogra- pher. Raymond Treffinger is a student pastor there and is doing splendid work, such as organizing boys’ clubs and coaching all of the athletic sports. I also saw Everett Warren, who is at the head of the dairying department. Andrew: “ He always was fond of cattle.” Avonell : “ What book is that you have? ” Andrew: “ Oh, this is Gladys Hyde’s latest novel, Why Women are Bashful; mighty good, too. Have you read it ? ” Avonell: “No, I haven’t. I didn’t know that she had decided on a literary career. I suppose that you know about Ruth Hoddinott’s being a missionary. She made an address at the Louisville convention ,in which she told of her efforts among the heathen. 1 was invited to speak in chapel, at the Girls’ High School in that city one day, and was greatly surprised to find that Petie Jenks was principal. He and Faith are as happy as can be. Have you heard from Helen McDowell lately? Is she as nervous as ever? ” 36 Uihr Attmtal Andrew: “Yes, I saw her while I was in Texas. You know she runs a ranch there and I sold her a traction-plow. As for her nerves, they seem to be worse, if possible, than when she was in school. Is Helen Webber as good looking ' as she used to be? ” Avonell : “ Yes, she is just as sweet as ever. She lives at the Studio Club in New York and is at the head of the millinery department at Wanamaker’s. Evenings, she is teacher of a class of factory girls, and shows them how to trim their own hats.” “Andrew: “Well, -what do you know about that?” Avonell : “ While I was there she took me to the candy kitchen on Fifth Avenue which is run by Oretta Shaw and Bessie Walker. You know they both used to have so much executive ability. I also saw Irene, who was there on a business trip for the firm of Beedle and Rawlings. They design the fashions for the Washington society belles. On the way back I met Howard Hawk. He is still a bachelor and I think he always will be. Have you seen Charles Griesinger lately? ” Andrew : “ To be sure I have. I bought these shoes of him ; he has charge of the whole store now. He told me that he bought most of his shoes from Johnson’s Tannery. I sup- pose you read about Avonell : “ Oh, pardon me, but there goes Ruth. She rides around in the swellest rigs now since Loren is in the livery business.” Andrew : “ That sure is some rig. As I was saying — I suppose you read about Dwight Shepard’s invention of an instrument for transmitting color by wireless. I met him on the boat when I came from Buffalo. Have you been back to Medina lately? ” Avonell : “ Yes, I was there about a month ago and saw the ball game between Seville and M. H. S. Andrew : “ How did it come out ? ” Avonell : “ Professor Nixon’s team put up a strong fight, but lost 4 to 5.” Andrew : “ Too bad. While I was there I met Beulah. She lives on the Ryan place west of town. I also sold Freda some machinery for pressing cheese in her factory. Did you see the new court house at Poe? ” Avonell : “ Yes, I went over there especially to look at it, and incidentally, I met Mary Humphrey. She took me through her large hair-dressing establishment.” Andrew : “ I went to the institute ta the Experiment Station and met Kindig, Mann, Wheeler, and Bishop. They are all farmers who take much interest in scientific agricul- ture. Is Willie Waters a farmer too? ” Avonell : “ Oh, no, I forgot to tell you. He is the minister of the prettiest little church down near Wooster. But say, have you heard anything about the Rex girls? ” Andrew : “ I saw them in the movies here. They go by the name of the Rex twins and are very well known all over the United States. I could talk on for hours and then not say all I want to, but my train is due at 2:15.

Class Colors — Maroon and Cream Dear, Readers of the Annual : Let me introduce to you the Class of 1917, the busiest and best in the High School. There are now thirty-eight members in our class and all of them are very bright. We have traveled three years on the rocky path to success and you have never heard us whimper. Many a dream has been demolished, but new ones have been re-established and on we are marching. Some fell under the heavy load, but they took courage, picked up the burden again and soon caught up with the main bunch. As I have said, we are ' a very busy class. We chose our Annual Board and then got them to work. They have kept up a continuous nagging and grinding to get people to contribute and buy. Wynne Boyden, the Editor-in-Chief, has lost thirty-two pounds from his tall form, Harold Raque became ill from trying to get advertisements for the Annual, and the rest look pretty bad. Now, the Lecture Course stares us in the face. We have picked our numbers and will start next fall selling tickets. Save your pennies to buy a ticket. Don’t get it into your head that you will not be asked to buy one, for every one in town and within the radius of six miles will be canvassed, so “ Be Prepared.” You will never regret spending your money for it, because v T e have picked good talent. Very truly yours, Leo Bartunek. Illlllllllllllllllll!llllllllll!llllllllll!:illlll Slmtiur $ Mtatnrg HELEN BIGELOW On the 28tli of January, 1914, Medina High School welcomed 27 boys and girls, the Class of 1918 (January graduation). We were greeted with warmth, as we then thought, and even allowed to sing alone and to make speeches. Altho we were rather crowded in the Freshman room, we did our best under the direction of Miss Feeney, and later Mr. Godlove. We were a sort of “ try-out ” class, due to the fact that we were the first to be promoted during the mid-year term. We are, as yet, still being experimented upon. During these two semesters we enjoyed many parties; one at Clayton’s skating-rink; one at York, and several at the Garfield building. One that we shall always remember was held at the home of Blake Munson, where v r e certainly had one grand time. On account of our “popularity” we were invited to attend many other functions. At that time we lost four of our class- mates — Delight Hart, Lillian Barfoot, Lawrence Hoff, and Ray Gardner. This ended our Freshman year. We then moved our possessions and made our homes in the Assembly room. We were given a genuine reception by both Dale Coons and Mr. Stear. We had fewer parties during this period. Now that we are Juniors we have settled down to really hard work. Most of us, and perhaps all of us, are attaining good results. We have some very bright students of whom we are proud, while a few of us find it a ti;ifle hard to plow thru. Because of the smallness of the Junior room and due to the two sections of Junior classes, we are compelled to remain in the Assembly room for this semester, but we are hoping that we shall be able to move down stairs next September. Altho we will not be Seniors until next January, we are looking forward to that period with a liltle reluctance. The time goes so fast that it will not be long until we shall have to say “ goodbye ” to M. H. S. We expect to do wonders in the next year and a half, and we hope that we shall not be disappointed.

Mr. Edmund asked the Y. M. C. A. board for a teacher and Mr. Huber Root was appointed. Although it inconvenienced him greatly, he cheerfully gave an hour each Thursday morn- ing to the successful instruction of the boys. The success of a class depends upon the strength of the course; so the course was made strong. At the very beginning text books were selected. Assignments were made that took time and study. Mr. Root thought that note-book work was essential, as well as a pleasant remembrance for another day. Out of seventeen that started the class, ten finished. Grades were kept throughout the entire year and credits given on the same basis as other studies. Mr. Root’s enthusiasm never failed, although he often found after coming to school that the period was taken for something else. The greatest hope entertained by the pupils is that the class will remain a part of the M. H. S. curriculum and that it may be taught by Mr. Root next year.

(Thr (birr Club BY ANNA BIGEBOW The Glee Club consists of a number of boys and girls who were selected by Mis. Boult and given special instruction in chorus work. The M. H. S. Glee Club, with the Glee Clubs of Leroy and Lodi High Schools, formed an association, which they named Melelo, from the first svlables of each of the town’s names. Their chief aim was to prepare a concert to be given at each of the different towns. The effort put forth was great, but it seems that there has been no suitable time for the association to get together for it, as the scarlet fever epidemic in Lodi necessitated the cancelling of the only available date. However, we hope to be able to give our concert at some future time. Twice the clubs have assembled to practice in unison. The first meeting was at Leroy, January 28; the second .at Medina, February 14. The Medina Club entertained the visit- ing clubs at the Garfield building. The M. H. S. Glee Club has been very fortunate in getting people to let them use their houses and pianos, and they take this opportunity to express their thanks for this hospi- tality. During the winter the Glee Club met at the following places: Mrs. Boult’s, Pauline Griesinger’s, M. H. S. building, Elizabeth Branch’s, Faith Anderson’s, Ruth Robinson’s, Helen McDowell’s, and Dale Coon’s. Humr 01 ' jjartnu ' nt 51 ffi. li. S .

The fairy dances would have lost half their charm had it not been for her beautiful singing. The high school takes this opportunity of thanking her for her loyalty to her Alma Mater. (Elasa play The class play. “ A Midsummer Night’s Dream ’ given in the tent Wednesday evening, was probably the finest thing of the kind ever given in the village of Medina, and was thoroughly enjoyed and heartily applauded by the large audience that witnessed it. In several instances the work of the young people would have done credit to professional actors and actresses, -while there could be said not to have been a weak part in the entire cast of character’s. If one were to pick out the most meritorious performances, it would be probably to say that the sprightly “ Puck ” of Miss Best deserved the star position, while the dainty “ Hermia ” of Miss Webber, the charming “ Titania ” of Miss Wallace, the uncouth “Bottom” of Mr. Fenton and the “ Oberon ” of Mr. Griesinger deserve the highest commendation. The stage had been transformed into a beautiful woodland scene, the dancing of the fairies was delightful and the piano accompaniment and incidental music by Mr. Bartunek demonstrated once again the artist nature of that young man. Altogether •the performance was a remarkable one and bears tribute not only to the performers therm selves but to those who trained them, chief among whom was Miss Shannon for the dra- matic and Mrs. Boult for the musical and terpsichorean . — The Medina County Gazette.

S. at the preliminary, which was held at Medina. Kay Treffinger, who gave a selection from Burke’s Conciliation Speech, was marked first in the oratorical class, and Pearl Weber, who read In the Shadow of the Guillotine , was given first honors in the dramatic class. These winners represented Medina at the district contest held at Brunswick. Again Pearl Weber carried oft’ first honors and received a prize of fiv e dollars. The last and most exciting contest was held at Medina, when eight young people, representing eight Medina County high schools, competed. Once more Pearl W|eber was give first place, and this time she was awarded a prize of twenty dollars. Medina High School is proud indeed of so talented a representative. 5B Uiltf Annual S’luunr (Th apr l JJragrum An interesting feature of this year’s work has been the short dramatic and oratorical selections given by Seniors on Wednesday mornings.

He had arrived only the evening before from over the sea with his father and some friends and as yet had not become well acquainted with his pretty cousin. Prudence regarded him with a glance equally admiring and also curious and then moved along the edge of the sideboard, where they were eating, until their elbows touched. She looked at his trencher three-fourths full of eornmeal mush with a puzzled air. “ Why don’t you eat your mush? ” she inquired at last. “ Don’t like it.” “ Don’t like it? What will you eat for breakfast then? We don’t cook anything on the Sabbath. Everything is prepared the day before I’m sorry you don’t like the mush,” she added with a sudden change of tone. “ 1 thank thee, cousin,” the boy replied, suddenly wishing he had eaten every bit of the mush and now manfully attempting to. Prudence watched him with a highly gratified expression on her peach-blossom face. When his trencher was at last polished quite clean, she gave him her hand and said, “ Indeed, cousin, I think I’ll like you fairly well,” then dropped his hand, curtsied, and ran from the room. The men turned to Nathaniel as the girl closed the door. “Haven’t frightened the little wild bird already, have you, Nat?” one of them exclaimed. The boy’s face crimsoned and he would have denied it hotly had not Mistress Mitchell spoken and distracted the attention from the embarrassed lad. “ Prithee, how far has Nathaniel advanced with his schooling? For the present, I fear, he’ll have to go with Prue to Mistress Lothrop. The Schoolmaster was sore wounded in a recent skirmish with the Indians, and hath not yet recovered.” The conversation soon became general and the lad slipped from the room in search of his cousin. He found her smoothing the wrinkles from her gown of soft red wool, iriving a loving pat to her silken housewife which hung from her girdle, and fastening a fresh white kerchief about her neck. Nathaniel decided to follow her example and he, too, benan to “ primp.” He gave a tug to the wisp of linen and lace in his neck, his collar and cuffs of rose-point were duly placed in order, the rosettes on his knee-breeches were adjusted, his velvet jacket given an air of Sabbath-day precision which his curls refused to adopt. Nathaniel’s father was decidedly broad-minded. He did not object to personal adornment though Nathaniel rebelled at his tangle of curls. He expressed this thought aloud to Prudence. She bade him never mind, for, if he lived with them for very long, public sentiment was such that he would lose his curls very shortly. Prue glanced at the silver buckles on her shoes and, of a necessity, Nathaniel observed his. He was on his. knees instantly, polished the buckles on Prudence’s shoes and then his own. Prudence IGtterary tJppartimmt HI anxiously waited until he was through; she knew very well that her mother would dislike having her daughter so vain. “ Art done, cousin? ” she asked. “ I’m to ride on the pillion behind you,” she added. “ Where’s thy little maid, sister, and my rapscallion son?” they heard Nat’s father ask. “ Hush ! such words are not seemly on the Lord’s Day,” Mistress Mitchell reminded him — “ an’ ’tis time we were a-going.” Every one prepared to go. Their dinner of pork, peas, and doughnuts was placed in the saddle bags. The women were mounted behind the men and they were on their way. Nathaniel and Prudence talked more than was becoming in children and they were bidden to keep silence several times, but it availed little, as the few early spring flowers and birds were so interesting. It was a ride of some three miles to the meeting house, which was a long, low building of rough-hewn logs with a few tightly closed windows. The noon-house was similar, only it was much smaller and had a stone chimney at one end. Nathaniel looked about him with interest and started to ask numerous questions, but Prudence with a doleful look on her face placed a finger on her lips. Nathaniel grimaced and liis face grew long. Prudence, too, “ made a face,” and hers was even more of a success than Nathaniel’s. The children with an assumed air of sedateness walked into the building, preceeded by their elders. Nathaniel started to sit with his cousin, but the tithing man prevented him and then placed him among some boys on the men’s side of the church. Because of the high-backed pews, it was with difficulty that Nathaniel could obtain even an occasional glimpse of his cousin. The boys with whom he was sitting eyed him curiously, and one, Hate-Evil Dunham, gave his curls a tentative pull, probably to see if they were real. Nat cuffed the boy’s ear and then observing the approach of the tithing man, resumed his air of Sunday calm. His glance wandered from the dusty spider-webs hanging from the beams to the strange spectacle presented by the minister as his head and body advanced through the trapdoor in the top of the pulpit. The sounding board proved interesting; in imagina- tion he was flying around in the air in front of it, examining the carved grapes and at last tracing their outline with his finger. Then he flew over the minister’s head and dislodged his periwig with one well-aimed kick. After lie had annoyed the members of the congrega- tion sufficiently, he slid down a beam of light from one of the windows and seated hi ms elf beside his cousin with whom he would make cats’ cradles from a piece of yarn he thought she might have in her housewife. They had just made a most wonderful cradle when . . . Nathaniel felt a very disagreeable tickling on his nose and a piece of fur in his mouth. He sat up suddenly and the tithing man removed the fox-tail, but in doing so, gave Na- thaniel a smart rap on the head. The rest of the boys in the pew snickered and conse- quently they, too, had doses of the tithing man ' s pole. A few words from the sermon began to linger in Nathaniel’s mind. He noticed some of the people seemed to be taking notes, though why they should, he didn’t know — - — “ sinners, miserable sinners, sinners by nature and practice, whose sins merit eternal punishment; deserve to be banished from the presence of God and to endure eter- nal damnation.” The boy gasped and decided not to listen any more. He watched the tithing man turn the hour-glass and one of the boys whispered, “ The third time.” Nathaniel began to watch the grains of sand dropping, dropping “ Twentiethly,” he heard the minister drone. hr Annual 112 Oh, liow 1 ' iis legs did hurt ! and one foot had gone to sleep and the back of the pew was so hard and he was tired of sitting still. He wished he had something to do and .... He heard a slight scratching. He looked toward Hate-Evil, who had a clumsy looking clasp knife and was busily engaged in cutting his initials into the wooden pew. Nat viewed him with interest. Why hadn’t he a knife? If he had one he could carve much better than Iiate-Eril. Wouldn’t Prudence be pleased to see N. P. and P. M. joined together with a heart with a little arrow run through it? Pie knew how to carve a heart and arrow better than Hate- Evil. Hadn’t he carved t hem for many a girl? “ Twenty-fifthly,” the minister announced. His voice sounded tired. Nathaniel was becoming very restless. He didn’t care about going to sleep again for he detested the taste of fox-fur. He counted the brilliants which adorned his shoe-buckles. He examined his lace cuffs with interest. He’d wager Prudence could make pretty lace. He estimated the number of freckles on Hate-Evil’s countenance Hate-Evil was rising. Guess he would, too. A deacon gave the pitch and the congre- gation began to sing, if it could be called singing : “ If this be death, I soon shall be From every pain and sorrow free.” Nathaniel didn’t know those words, but he knew the tune very well. The best words were — “ My wife shall dance, and I will sing And merrily pass the day.” Hate-Evil hushed him with all possible speed, but some had heard and both smiles and frowns we re to be seen. After the singing, Nathaniel would have seated himself had not Hate-Evil restrained him by a kick on the shin. Was the prayer never to end? At last it did and the people filed out of the church into the noon-house. Though it was spring, it was still quite cold and there was a fire in the big fireplace. Nathaniel would have sought Prudence, but an old deacon trapped him and the boys in a corner and expounded weird theological beliefs which the boys did not understand and did not want to understand. The man suddenly asked Nathaniel : ‘ Roy, are you one of the elect? Will you go to heaven or are Satan’s fires to claim you as they will these other sinners? ” “ Oh — ah ” — Nathaniel started to say when his mouth was suddenly filled with a piece of doughnut, which Prudence standing near, providentially used to gag him. The deacon jumped to find the culprit, but Prudence was diligently studying her Bible. As the deacon turned, the boys scattered, and grabbing all the eatables in sight, bolted them with all possible speed. Nathaniel’s finery was damaged when the boys endeavored to make his acquaintance. Prudence was dismayed and while the rest fed the horses which were stabled at one end of the noon-house, she tried to give him a less piratical appearance. Nathaniel, in return for her services, gave his cousin a swift kiss. Hate-Evil observed it and promptly told his cronies. They would har e given Nat another pommeling had it had not been time for the afternoon sermon. It was remarkable how soon those boys resumed their air of Sabbath meekness when deacons turned to marshal them, three by three, into line to return to their devotional duties. Nathaniel squirmed when he estimated the length of the approaching sermon. He appeared as thoughtful and well-behaved as the strictest Puritan could desire, but inwardly be rebelled. As before, he seated himself beside Hate-Evil. Was there nothing to amuse IGtterarg ippartment S3 himself with? As in a trance he heard seventhly, eighthly, ninthly. Soon he and Hate- Evil made a game of the “ lys ” and guessed how long it would be before the next one was heard. This time the good parson stopped at nineteenthly. Nat and Hate-Evil heaved an audible sigh of relief and the tithing man approached them with a warning air. As in the morning, the congregation rose and sang an inspiring song about — Ear in the deep where darkness dwells The land of horror and despair, Justice hath built a dismal hell, And laid her stores of vengeance there. Eternal plagues and heavy chains Tormenting r acks and fiery coals, And darts to inflict immortal pain Dyed in the blood of damned souls. Nathaniel was frightened by this song and when the parson prayed, devoutly bowed his head. At last it was over. He bid his new friend, Hate-Evil Dunham, goodby and warned him that if he said anything about Hate-Evil grinned and departed homeward. It was pleasant, though, riding back through the spring twilight, especially when he had such a pretty cousin behind him, who, the better to hold on, had one arm about him. Nathaniel decided that even such torture as fiftiethlv sermons could be endured with such recompense. Jflatal ®iupttlg-fiup QHpwBmtd BY GLADYS HYDE “ To be or not to be — that is the question. Whether ’tis right to be tied to a woman’s apron strings or remain a lonely bachelor through my whole life.” Thus thought I, as I went into my father’s study for our daily morning chat. We discussed the affairs of the day and I was just ready to leave when the old man dropped a bomb in front of his poor unsuspecting son. “ Don, why don’t you marry and settle down? ” After recovering from the shock I replied : “Why, dad, I never thought much about it; any way, I know only two agreeable women — mother, who is the best in the world — and the wash-woman whose only disadvan- tage is the circumference of her waist line.” “ Don, I am really serious about this matter. You have been fooling around long enough. You must cease sowing your wild oats and settle down.” Dad’s last remark was too much for me. To think that he would fail me ! I bolted out of the room, grabbed my hat, and left the house. In the afternoon I ran over to Clyde’s studio to tell him of my morning’s experience. Now, Clyde isn’t one of these sissy, curled-haired artists, but a broad-shouldered fellow who means business. I really expected some consolation from him as 1 threw myself down fi4 ®lj? Annual into the easiest chair available. Mighty little comfort I got from him. Without looking up from his work, he said : “ Don, I think you ' re a darn fool not to take your father’s advice. You need some nice level-headed girl to keep you straight and, by gosh ! she’d do it, too.’” “ Clyde, I came for sympathy and now you are deserting me. You know I wouldn’t mind if I could find a sensible girl ; but the ones with their everlasting giggling and baby talk I can’t stand. Why, man, the sight of a dab of rouge and powder drives me mad.” “ Good gracious, you are in a bad humor today ; let’s cut it out. By the way, are you going tonight to the Colonial to see Theda Bara in ‘ The Eternal Sapho ? ’ She’s a stunner and they say her acting is great.” “ Well, who’s going? ” “ Margaret and I, of course.’” “ A woman in the case? Sorry, old man, but there’s nothing doing.” Clyde was obstinate and finally persuaded me that the only proper thing to do w T as to jump into my dress suit and accompany these two youngsters, who, by the way, had been engaged three years. Clyde was simply dying to marry the girl, but his financial prospects were far from desirable and so he was impatiently waiting. Eight o’clock found us at Margaret Hammond’s home, where we were shown in by a pert little maid who assured Clyde that Miss Margaret would keep him waiting only a minute. I knew how long that “ minute ” would be, so 1 settled down and busied myself looking at the photographs of the dead ancestors plastered against one side of the wall. Just at this time Margaret’s little brother Tom appeared, a youngster full of questions. Then Clyde suddenly thought that he forgot to leave the tail light of his auto burning and went out to light it. I was left alone to answer — how many questions — only heaven knew. “ Be you goin’ to the show, Mister? Gee, I wish I could go! You look like a sure nuf show man yourself; are you? ” T assured the lad that I wasn’t, but had taken a part of a hunter in a play once. “ What did you hunt for? ” “ Oh, in the play I followed the dogs. They were chasing the fox and telling us where to find it.” “ Like a fortune-teller, was they? ” “ Not at all, they just found the scent ” “ Does a fox really have money? ” “ I don’t mean that kind of a scent, kid. What do yoit use your nose for? ” ‘‘ Dad says I’m always sticking it into other folks’ business; but I ain’t. Say, you ought ’a see my cousin Helen ! she’s some peach. Dick Brown was here the other night and looked so cute settin’ — there beside with his arm ” At this point something in light blue whirled past me, captured the offending Tommy and bore him from the room. “ I was just going to say, with his army suit on; you needn’t get so mad,” came from the region where young Thomas had disappeared. The vision of Tom’s fair captor remained with me during the entire evening. I was so disgusted with myself. Even if the girl was a perfert dream she probably was as fickle as the rest. A few days after this Clyde came rushing into my room with the news that an uncle had sent word that he would give him $25,000 if he were married in his presence. The ICttmtru Scpartnmtt fi5 uncle would reach New York in two days. Clyde was tickled to death, for Margaret had consented. On the morning of the fatal day Clyde left the city in his car for the Hammond country home. He was to bring Margaret back with him and they were to be married in the uncle’s presence at St. Paul’s that evening. That afternoon, while I was making a hasty toilet, preparing to meet Clyde at the church, a messenger boy brought me a startling telegram. “ Accident. Can’t leave tonight. Tell Uncle — remember the $25,000. Clyde ' ’ “ I was in a mix-up. Where was the uncle and how was I to find him? In my despair I called up the Hammond home in town to see if any one knew of his whereabouts. Mar- garet’s cousin, Helen, was the only one at home and she kindly suggested that I come over at once, and she would help me. In fifteen minutes 1 was seated in the Hammond parlor. The blue vision was once more before me, this time not to capture Tommy but to capture my bachelor heart. How- ever, there was no time for sentiment. “ There’s only one thing to be done,” she said, “ and that’s to meet the uncle at the church. We’re late now and Clyde mustn’t lose that $25,000.” In a few minutes we had reached the place and I was out of the car ready to break the news. The uncle had arrived before us and rose to greet me as I entered the door. He turned to me, gave me a slap on the shoulder that nearly knocked me down and said : “ Clyde, my boy, you look just as you did when you were a lack” u But, my clear sir ” “ We have no time for words; where’s the girl? ” I was dumbfounded, but managed to say — “ Why, she’s ” “ Well, don’t fool around. I’ve got to leave in fifteen minutes and if you aren’t married in that time you lose your twenty-five thousand.” I made another attempt to explain, but was suddenly stopped and was glad to leave to leave the room. “ Why, Mr. Brown, what can be the matter with you? You look like a ghost.” “ Grosh, I wish I was ; that old fool thinks I’m Clyde and sent me for you.” “ Oh dear, why don’t you explain? ” “ Explain ! Why, I can’t, he won’t let me.” “ Well, two are better than one; we’ll go together.” When we reached the door the uncle was there to meet us and before either could say a word he said: “ Clyde, I congratulate you. She’s all right.” Then, turning to the minister, he said, “ I guess they’re ready now.” “ But,” I interrupted, “ I’ve forgotten my marriage license.” “ Yes, that’s just what I thought, so I bought one for you.” My last hope was gone. I turned to Helen. “ Come on,” I said, “ we can get a divorce tojnorrow. Clyde can’t lose his money.” It was over in a minute and I was still dazed when I handed Clyde the check two hours later. Of course, he was delighted and thought of his happiness rather than my position. I don’t know what Dad’ll say, but there’s no more wild oats for mine. Tommy was right. Helen is a peach. We weren’t divorced the next day and Dad gave me a generous check in addition. 66 Annual AtljU ' ttr Srpartmimt er Officers. — Florence Leach, Floyd Gift, Charles Griesinger, Mr. Godlove. (The AthU ' tir Ansoriatum BY FLOYD GIFT Last March the athletic enthusiasts were called together by Mr. Miller for the purpose of electing officers for this association. Florence Leach yvas elected secretary and perform- ed her duties in a very competent manner. Floyd Gift was elected vice-president. Charles Griesinger with three others was nominated for president. He was elected by an over- whelming majority. He always proves a valuable man to be at the helm of a business movement. Mr. Godlove was elected treasurer and was kept very busy collecting associa- tion dues. The purpose of this organization was to promote the welfare of athletics. Almost all of the student body were members. fiS ®ltr Annual Football BY BLAKE MUNSOK The season opened with one week of good weather and at the end of the week about twenty-three men had reported to Coach Miller. Owing to bad weather we had little practice before the Oberlin game, so their team, assisted by the referee, defeated us. We won the succeeding three games with Lorain, Wooster, and Akron South High. Then Lakewood again caused us to stumble and lose. This blow was followed by an overwhelming defeat by Barberton. We came back strong for the last game of the season and Wooster was just able to hold us to a tie. Many times M. H. S. came within a few yards of the goal and then were pushed back. Out of the seven games played, M. H. S. won three and tied one, an average of five hundred. The schedules and scores were a s follows l Oberlin .... 14 M. H. S Lorain .... 0 M. H.

If any errors or omissions have been made, please consider how difficult it is to collect such information, and pardon the mis- takes. This year Max Phillips, ’ll, and Sidney Fenn, ’12, have been granted the degree of B. S. in Agriculture, Ralph Snedden, ’13, the degree of DV.M., from the Ohio State University, and Earl Leatherman, ’ll. has finished a course in mechanical engineering at the same institution. Herbert Horn, ’12, and Niel Fluent, ’12, have been graduated from Western Reserve College at Cleveland ; Hazel Clark, ’12, and Mildred Calvert, ’12, received the B. A. degree from Oberlin College, and Earnest Adams, ’ll, has been graduated from the University of California at Berkeley, Cal. Nineteen former graduates of M. H. S. have entered the state of matrimony since the last Alumni list was revised. Six married “in the family;” thirteen to “outsiders.” The classes of ’86, ’97, ’98, ’99, ’08, TO, ’ll. ’12, ’13, and ’15 furnished this year’s brides and bridegrooms. The list is as follows : H. H. Beard to Flora Frazier Steinhoff, ’86; Arthur Young to Edna Adams, ’97; Frank Willis to Belle Tebbit, ’98; Ross Schlabach, ’99, to Vera Hobart, ’08; Macey Hal- lock to Clara Ulmer, ’08; Frank Griesinger, ’08, to Lillian Kern; Don Williams to Lillian Beach, TO; Howard Calvert, TO, to Ethel Addin; Walter Fuller to Pauline House, TO; Kline Heath, ’ll, to Caroline Simmons, ’13; John Gill to Florence Braden, ’12; Charles Ransom to Bertha Lerch, T 2 ; Hans Hohman to Marguerite Nugent, ’12; Sherman Maple, ’13, to Eva Smock; William McFadden, ’12, to Merle Pelton, ’13; Claude Derhammer to Hazel Roberts, ’15. The classes of 1898, 1912, and 1913 have each lost a loyal member. Space here does not allow an adequate appreciation of their worth.
