In September, 1905, a group of five-year-old chil- dren went to visit Miss Ella Canavan every school morning for two hours. She taught them how to skip around the circle, fit round pegs into round holes, and sing “Goodbye, dear teacher.” This group contained five girls and one hoy, Helen Bigelow, Marion Fisher, Pauline Griesinger, Edwin Kellogg, Bessie Warner, and Eleanor Wright, who were so happy, and bright that other hoys and girls were drawn in just as a whirlpool draws ships, only in a kinder way. We, for these were the nucleus of the January 1918 graduating class, ran the gauntlet of teachers — Miss Dawley, Miss McDougall, Miss Tubbs, and Mrs. Wright, and the three “R’s” in the usual way while in the Lincoln building. We had listened with awe to the tales our older brothers and sisters’ told us of the grammar grades. But the secrets of the old building were net for us yet. We were sent to the room in the Odd Fellows’ block, which is next to Pelton’s Grocery, where Miss Warner presided over us during our struggles with fifth grade geography. It was quite handy to run into the store at recess and buy fresh cinnamon rolls, though, no doubt, Miss Lacy, our sixth grade teach- er, did not feel that way about it. The next year, to our great joy, we were promoted to the seventh grade and the high school building. During this time Medina people were beginning to appreciate the fact that the owners of the fine sev- enth grade records deserved a better home in which to continue their studying. So, one morning, much to our joy, Miss Drake directed us to take our coats and books and march over to the new Garfield build- ing. We had been quite proud of our new room, but were most jubilant when told that, partly on account of crowded conditions’, but particularly because of our well-ordered intellects, we were to make the seventh and eighth grades in a year and a half, and then become Freshmen in high school in January. We entered Miss Wheatley’s room with fear and trembling, but found that she enjoyed sleigh rides and jokes, as well as arithmetic and grammar, it was money earned by the eighth A grade which started the Yictrola fund. We also gave the eighth B graders a farewell dinner — a course from each country represented in our graduation exercises, from Irish stew to American sherbet. One wintry morning we were escorted to the high school, to begin our careers as Freshmen with, it must be confessed, a little trepidation. ■ We stood the taunts of Baby Freshman, Eighth Grade Babies, and various other insulting remarks because we knew that the other high school people were jealous of our honors! With Miss Feeny’s aid we managed a few hilarious parties and good times. As sophomores — now very dignified — we enjoyed initiating two Freshman classes, and began to realize how much fun it was. So time went on — we strug- gled with Caesar, and then marched into Cicero’s orations as Juniors of unexcelled virtues. Miss McGonagle saw to it that we, as Seniors, were given a room of our own. To make it more fully worthy of us we redecorated the walls, cleaned the windows, varnished the desks and mopped the floor, thus’ setting a good example for our lower classmen. Now that we have, as Caesar did, crossed our Rubicon, we hope to fight a winning battle through life, and feel sure that we will. We have enjoyed our school course. The teachers and superintendents have been our good friends. We shall always remember our days in Medina Pub- lic Schools with pleasure. -jlmtuttry (Class g latistirs By Marian Fisher. To the January class of 1918 is given one distinc- tion of which no other class can boast. Above all other qualities, rises the fact that we are the first class in the history of M. H. S. to graduate in the middle of the year. We are “but seventeen.” of which number seven are masculine and ten are feminine. On account of the swiftness of our march through school we are all very youthful in age, (of course not in knowledge). Five of the girls are seventeen, three can proudly say they are “of age,” one has just reached nineteen, and Lucile Winters, our in- fant prodigy, is just “sweet sixteen.” We also have two boys of that age, Joseph Bartholomew and Royal Brockway, but we fear that epitaph would be too mild for them. One hoy, or perhaps’ man, has also reached the proud age of 19, while the others march in twos, 17 and 18 years of age. Our heavy weight champion is Raymond Bennett, Ki4 lbs., while Louis Bartholomew, at t he other ex- treme, can just pull down 115. Of the girls, two have not reached 100 lbs., and Isabelle Warner, our toothpick, weighs just 84 lbs. The weight of the heaviest girl is 136 lbs. The average weight of the hoys is’ 138, and Royal Brockway comes nearest this average, while Helen Bigelow is nearest 114 lbs., the average weight of the girls. Edwin Kellogg, the tall man, extends 5 ft., 11 in. into the air, while Bud Munson, our pigmy, is 5 ft., 3 in. (Though he has grown, you see he still keeps up his reputation.) Helen Bigelow, the tallest girl, is 5 ft. 8 in., while Isabelle Warner and Lucile Win- ters, by standing on their tiptoes ' , can just reach 5 ft. 2 in. The combined height of the class is 93 ft., or just one yard taller than the Medina stand pipe. We are, of course, a religious bunch, though we have but one religion apiece. We have 9 Congrega- tionalists, five Methodists, two Episcopalians, and one Baptist. . As to politics, 14 of us are Republican, 2 Demo- crats, and 1 non-partisan, but most important, we are all true Americans. The future? Ten of us intend to go to college, but most of us are undecided as to the place. Ohio State, Reserve, University of Virginia, and Spencer- ian Business School seem to be the most favored in- stitutions. Our future occupations will lead us in various channels of life. We shall have one dentist, one capitalist, one banker, two dry goods merchants, one farmer, two physical training instructors, one dietitian, one school marm, one musician, one stenog- rapher, one fair maiden announces her intention of keeping Bachelor’s Hall on Riverside Drive, and wonder of wonders, we will have a “lady lawyer.” We doubt not that in the future, M. II. S. will be proud to claim every one of the class of 1918 A for her own, for “We are little But we are mighty.” Sanitary HaLetortnrg IDEALS OF CITIZENSHIP By Edwin Kellogg. Parents and friends, I feel that a great duty and obligation rests upon me tonight, for it has been made my task, yes, and privilege, to represent the graduation class of January, 1918, at this, their commencement. I know that it involves a great re- sponsibility to attempt to portray the ideals and as- pirations of the class, for I surely cannot show all the good and noble virtues of its members, and on the other hand my failure would reflect upon their reputation and good name as a class. 1 have nothing new to bring to you, for at every commencement and leave-taking of this kind the same situation obtains and the same thoughts are expressed. Yet I feel that this institution and these occasions are more dear to the hearts and lives of the towns-folk than they can ever realize. Were this custom to cease, the people would miss it as something that had become a cherished part of their lives. Year after year the older ones of the village see a group of young people come before them to take their formal farewell of high school days, boys and girls whom they have seen grow up from childhood and pass through the schools of the village, those who have grown dear to them and have filled a place in their affections. It is true that some remain here to live peaceful lives in the community, but many pass away into other scenes of activity and perhaps are lost to view forever. So, as we come to you to- night in that old, old way, we hope that you may see the deep significance of it all, a meaning greatly deepened and enriched by the darkness of the times ; and as we go forth, each one to his life-work, may the memory of this glad beginning remain with you as a glistening bead in the rosary of recollection. We look back upon a pleasant past, a past made more dear to us by the tasks and troubles that have been interwoven with the jov and gladness. Every class looks forward to an uncertain future, but a future filled with greater doubt than in years past awaits us, a future that even now sends forth boding of strenuous times to come. So it seems Avell for us, who are about to step forth into the arena of the world’s progress, to con- sider something of what our parts in the great bat- tle of life are and Avhat they should signify, as citi- zens of this great republic, this nation than which none other may truthfully claim to be more grand and glorious. So as we are about to more actively take upon us the duties of citizenship, let us consider the ideals that we must hold before us to become true, useful citizens of the commonwealth. As Ave search for a definition of a citizen, here is what we find, in brief: “In the United States a citizen is one who oAves allegiance and support to t lie govern- ment and is entitled to its protection.” To give al- legiance necessitates patriotism and loyalty on the part of the citizen ; to give support demands that Ave have the spirit of service and of sacrifice. Moreover, each must live efficiently, possessed of that civic and industrial intelligence, that skill to do a needed service, and that high moral sense which the nature of our existence as a democracy is seen to demand. Each person has his OAvn conception of patriotism, oftentimes based largely upon party and politics. Doubtless all ot ' us are more or less familiar with the words of Decatur’s immortal toast when he said: “Our country! May she always be in the right! But right or wrong, Our country!” Af first hearing, these words sound brimful of pa- triotism, but to the mind of one whose thoughts are deeper and broader and higher and purer, as he looks upon the folds of that tri-colored bunting, to one who loves his country as did Washington and Lincoln and McKinley, the words do not ring ' true. To such an heart the only true patriotism is that highest and best love of country that has the purest and noblest good at heart, that has a great and lofty concention of what the nation should be and then uses all his power and influence and energy to bring her as close to that ideal as possible. The spirit of service then is a natural sequence of patriotism. What would our nation be today had not the righteous spirit of the two virtues, sacrifice and service, animated our ancestors to accomplish what they have so freely left to us, so rich an heri- tage? That nation may not long expect to endure, nor is it possible that it shall stand, whose people have lost the fire of service necessary to give support to their nation. Without these controlling spirits the soul of the citizenship would be dead and when the people of a republic lose animation, the nation itself inevitably wanes and falls. So we realize the necessity and heroism of the patient endurance of true citizens, though they may be obscure, and the majestic value of those who serve. Dear friends, we who are passing out of high school life into more active citizenship tonight, feel that we have a. place in national life. We must now take up the burden of service in our nation’s vast work, for each has a patriotic work to do and we can’ all have a part in helping to make the nation better and nobler. Our country is passing through a crisis- — a reconstructive period, and we fully realize our responsibilities in this time of trial. Each one of us shall “do with cheerful heart the work that God appoints,” even the laying down of our lives for that which we know is right, that our national ideals may justly be proud. Inheritor of a glorious past, each generation is a trustee for posterity. To preserve, protect, and transmit its inheritance unimpaired is its highest duty. To accomplish this is not the task of the few, but the duty of all. So may the ideals of the class symbolize the principles- of the nation. Let us make loyalty our controlling spirit and in being loyal to ourselves, our class, and our school we will of neces- sity be loyal to our country. Let us show the world that we are the “stuff” that the best citizens and truest patriots are made of, carrying still in our hearts whatever life may bring, the same spirit of courage and resolution and high-minded integrity with which we must now bid each other farewell. Fired with true patriotism, let us go “over the top” and transmit our rich inheritance not only unimpair- ed but better for our having been its custodian dur- ing the time allotted to us.

In this strenuous and critical period in our na- tional life we cannot but realize the great duties and responsibilities that shall, henceforth, rest upon us. We are living in an age of wonderful opportunities. Inasmuch as this is true, much more is it true that we are living in an age of great duties and responsi- bilities. Shall we measure up to these responsibili- ties 1 ? Shall we be equal to these tasks that we shall he called up on perform? 1 believe I am speaking for every member of this class when 1 say that we shall ; and 1 believe 1 am voicing the universal senti- ment of this class when I say that we feel it is a great honor to graduate at a time when duty’s call is stronger than ever before. It is indeed a rare privi- lege to graduate in a class ' which stands face to face with the grave responsibilities t hat confront us — one and all — at this time. Every American — by that 1 mean — every man and woman, boy and girl living in this country — owes this land a debt which is proportional to the length of time it has given of its benefits to him. We of the class of ’18 will do our part as faithfully as we can. Some of us can aid our country in one way, some in another. All of us know that our coun- try needs money, food, men, and everything to make the lives of our soldier boys brighter and more com- fortable. Knowing as we do, that work needs to be done, the true American will find much which is his part. Perhaps our boys and girls cannot accomplish as much as the men and women, but we can and will do everything in our power. No matter how small apparently shall be the part some of us may s’eem to fill, we will know we are performing our duty and shall do our work, gladly and proudly. To whom do we owe our advantages? We are indebted partly to the State. We are indebted to the people of this community and we w ish to thank you all. We wish to thank our teachers who have done so much for us and who have become an inspiration to us. We thank our Superintendent for his efforts in behalf of our school and this class. We thank the Board of Education for the interest taken in the bet- terment of our school and the advantages given us, and — in the same proportion — shall we strive to re- turn to this community and the country at large our services as better citizens. ‘‘A place in the ranks awaits us” and however humble that place, we step forth gladly from the shelter of our dear old High School into the ranks ot the busy Avorld with the hope that we may fill our place as 1 a part of America’s great Battle Line — or m service at the front in order that that which is good, and noble and pure — in order that right and liberty may triumph over barbarism, destructive- ness, and hideousness. Parents and friends, we welcome you to this, our commencement. We shall put forth every effort to prove to you how much we thank you for coming, and to repay you as much as possible for the pleas- ure and pride your presence here brings to us. 1 promise you on behalf of the class that we shall do our very best to make you glad you came. With this aim ever in mind, in behalf of the June Class of 11)18, 1 thank you once more for coming, and extend to you, in the name of the class, our most grateful and sincere welcome. Ualfbtrtorg By Anna Bigelow. The June class of 1918 comes here this evening to hid farewell to the high school and all its activities. It is with a feeling of regret that we do this, as the past four years have been happy and profitable ones. But, after all, our sorrow at this’ breaking of school ties is petty and trivial in comparison with the weight of grief that must he felt by every member of this community, for what person here this even- ing has not recently bidden a solemn goodbye to some brave lad in khaki! In this valedictory, it seems more fitting to speak of our soldier boys’ than of our own class. None of us are leaving home for any length of time. Those who go to college or away to work are not facing a fearful future. If we part with our friends it is always with the idea of being able to return to them at will. Other farewells, with which all are far more deeply concerned, obscure our simple leaving of the high school. Eighty-five young men, graduates of our high school, and many more from our town and county have left for military training. They are scattered over the country from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico ; from the Atlantic to the Pacific. They are in the navy, in hospital corps, infantry and avia- tion. They have already gained honors and will win many more. Letters come to us from members of the hospital corps in France telling that the writers are wearing a gold stripe on their sleeves, signifying that they have served six months in the danger zone. From the camps comes again and again the word that our boys are being advanced in the ranks. Four of the alumni of Medina High School are now com- missioned officers, and others will soon gain this distinction. Citizens and relatives have visited them and have seen the remaking of a nation. Uncle Sam is preparing them for the terrible struggle that must come when they reach the red fields of France, lie fully realizes what has to be done and we must stand back of him and serve in every way we can. Only a slacker, only a Pro-German whines “It Can’t Be Done.” “Somebody said it couldn’t be done. But he, with a chuckle, replied That maybe it couldn’t, but he would be one Who wouldn’t say till he tried. “So he buckles right in with the trace of a grin On his face, if he worried he hid it; lie started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn ’t be done — and he did it. “There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done; There are thousands to prophesy failure; There are thousands to point out to you, one by one, The dangers that wait to assail you.” “But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, • Then take off your coat and go to it; ' Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing That cannot be done — and you ’ll do it. And now, my classmates, in your behalf, I bid farewell to the high school and all its ' associations. AVe have finished our course of study here and are ready to do “our bit” for our country. “A place in the ranks awaits 11s.” 3Jiuu ' (Elaaii guatistira By Ruth Mummaw. AA r e who represent the class of ’18 are neutral in number between last June’s and last January’s classes. There are neither forty-five, nor seventeen, but twenty-four of us. And of this number eight have not been in M. H. S. four years. AVe miss sev- eral who were with, but who, because of the law of the survival of the fittest, left us this last year. But those remaining have held on with a tenacity that is heroic. One of our chief characteristics is variety. This is well shown in our ages, which vary from sixteen to nineteen, the youngest, Vaughn Hartman, being 16 years and 5 months. This makes the average age of the boys just one month younger than that of the girls, which is 17 years, 5 months. We are not surprised that the average height of the boys is 5 feet, 1D 2 inches, and the girls 5 feet, 3 inches or that Vaughn’s height is 5 feet, 11 y 2 inches and Ilazle Boise, who is the tallest girl, measures 5 feet, 6 inches. There is more rivalry between the shorter mem- bers of the boys ' , especially Harold Thatcher, who is 5 feet 7 inches, and George Fretz, who is 3 inches shorter. This is the case among the girls, too, for AVinnifred Pierce, who is the shortest, is just half an inch below Anna Bigelow, who is 5 feet 1 y 2 inches. The average weight of the boys ' is 160 pounds and the girls 117 pounds. Vaughn again distinguishes himself by being the heavy weight of the class. The one place where we lack variety seems to be in the color of our eyes and hair. For out of our class, 15 have blue eyes, 7 have brown, and the other two have grey. Ten of the girls have brown hair, 2 have blond, and one has black. The predominating color of hair among the boys is ' brown. Five have brown hair and the other three black. Thirteen of us cannot claim Medina for our birth- place, and the fact that we were widely scattered must prove, its renown. AVe were all born in Ohio, but only 11 were born in Medina Township. There surely should be no hard feeling when our Baccalaureate is held in the Baptist Church this year, for 13 of us attend the Congregational, 8 the Methodist, 2 the Christian, and one the Catholic church. In politics the boys seem to prefer the Republican party, AVells Whipple being the only Democrat, while the girls are not so rigid. Alt-ho the majority are Republicans, 3 are Democrats, 4 are for the best man ; and 3 are not interested. Of course, after our strenuous school hours, we engage in our pet hobby. Those of the girls are, for the most part, dancing and music, with an occasional joy ride, altho s ' ome of the more demure prefer reading; one declares she loves to fish, and one con- fesses housework is her chief diversion. AA r e have professed a deep interest in the war and have confirmed this statement by buying $86.70 worth of thrift stamps, also two %50 bonds. And we all have the deepest sympathy for the three who have given far more than money. Percy Fenn and Everett Gault have each sent a brother, and Thelma Case has two brothers in the war. We’ll not tire you with more of our pedigree, for, of course you understand half hasn’t yet been told, but as we leave it is in praise of Medina High, in re- membrance of the good times we’ve had there, and with the best wishes to all who remain, Adios hasta luego, ’18.

We, the class of If), will probably be remembered by the public as a part of the band that went from house to house, last winter, trying to convince people that a lecture course ticket was the best thing they could invest in at that time. We certainly succeeded with a few, for we put- a lecture course across with $100 to the good. The Senior A Class, who at that time lived with us, helped to earn and spend the money. We contributed toward buying suits for the baseball boys and to the soldiers’ library fund, and we also transformed our gloomy little northeast room into sunshine and smiles. We are a small class, only 10 in number. Among the gone but not forgotten are Jimmy Thompsett, who now resides in Akron, and Anna Bigelow, who, being too smart for cur bunch, took a jump to a higher class. However, we still claim them as one of us and always will. We are very patriotic and believe in conserving for we haven’t spent a cent this school year for parties, etc. Instead we have helped Uncle Sam by buying Liberty Bonds as ' d Thrift Stamps. We have also helped the Red Cross by giving money and by making Trench Foot Slippers and we all signed the food pledge. oouuu Gault Aurand Rose Bailey Carter Bennett Landcn Bartholomew Freda Clark Laura Edwards Seymour Ensign Paul Flicldnger Clara Harring Boris Hoard Arthur Huffman Alice Kingsbury Max Koppes Izora Miller Helen Mott Violet Pelton George Pritchard Margaret Randall Elsie Ringer Katherine.

Last September the class of June, ’19, now con- sisting of twenty-six members, began its Junior year. Our first action was to elect our officers for the two ensuing semesters, who are as follows : President, Carter Bennett ; Secretary and Treasurer, Margaret Randall. We next selected our Annual Board, and some time later we chose our numbers for the Lec- ture Course to be given the succeeding school year. This course promises to be as entertaining, in- structive, and satisfactory in every ivay as the one staged this year; so please co-operate with us, dear readers of the Annual, by boosting us financially, and making it a complete success in every way. Quite a number of our boys are working in the athletic department. Carter Bennett is business manager of the baseball team, while our enthusiasm is aroused by George Pritchard as cheer-leader. We are proud to own shell noted players as Hyde and Bartholomew. Altho we are hard-working, we do believe in good times. We have had two enjoyable parties, one of which was held at the home of our class-mate, Kath- erine Shane ; and the other at the Garfield Building. Our only sleigh-ride party melted. AVe are now facing our Senior year, the last one we have to spend together in old M. II. S., and I am sure that during this short time each and every one of us is going to strive to uphold, not only the high ideals of the school, but of the class of ' 19.

Last September we, a group of smart boys and girls, started the last half of our Sophomore year. During t li is semester we had but few parties . Since we were to become Juniors in January, we were permitted to help choose the Annual Board. The following were selected to represent our class — Ralph Boyden, Business Manager; Way land Hyde, Athletic Manager; Lucille Offineer, Stenographer; Evelyn Graham, Cartoonist; May Clark and Marcel- la Eretz, Literary Department, and Doris Worden, Humorous (?) Editor. These, with the representa- tives of the class above us, have given all of their time collecting material to make this year’s Annual a success. Doris Worden Harold Worden Early in the winter, we met again with the other class and decided upon the numbers of next year’s lecture course. In the winter, we planned several sleigh ride par- ties, but the snow always melted too soon. Finally we had a memorable party at Ruth Abbott ’s home, and several others at the Garfield Building. We are not only a wise, but patriotic class, for this spring when the question of having an expen- sive Junior-Senior banquet arose, we decided to take the Seniors to Wliipp’s Ledges for a picnic. We all dread the time when, a year and a half from now, we will have to leave old M. 11. S., but though we are far away, we will always remember our happy school days.

Now ' t Uncle Josh has left me that heap o’ money, we c’d go t’ ’urope, hut my motto is ‘See ’merica First.’ ” Now that would be nice. Bostin — let me see— Bostin. Oh yes, that’s where Mrs. Donley says you e’n git anything you c’n see fer from a third t’ a half less 1 ’n you pay here. She was in here this after- noon ’n’ she had a waist on that only cost two dollars ’n’ ninety-nine cents, ’t was marked down from six dollars. She showed me the stockings she had on ’n’ they only cost nineteen cents, ’n’ she ’ad washed ’em three times ’n’ there wa’n’t a break in ’em.” “That so?” said Ephon in a tone indicating that his interest in what Myra was saying was slight. “They say ’t the Public Garden is prittier now ’n any other time ’n the year, ’n’ there’s a notlier place called the, a — well I can’t say the name now —is just wonderful in this season.” “I reckon so,” said Mrs. Bender, with as much show of interest as her husband had portrayed dur- ing her preceding remarks. “ ’f it ’s true you c’n buy gloves from fifty t’ seventy-five cents a pair less in Bostin th’n you pay for the very identical gloves here I think I’ll buy four or five pairs. ’N’ you’d better buy a supply o’ ties, e’en ’f you do make one or two do a year.” “I guess I’ll go over t’ the little lib ’ary now, ’n’ get some books on Bostin ’n’ make a list o’ the things we want t’ see,” said Ephon. “Well, s’pposin’ you stop in at Mrs. Donley’s on your way home ’n’ git a Bostin paper ’t she takes. She says it’s jus’ full o’ ads o’ the bargains ’n the department stores. I’d like t’ make out a list o’ the things 1 want t’ git.” Two weeks later found Mr. and Mrs. Bender en- tering a hotel of fairly moderate prices in Boston. J Irs. Bender was saying in an undertone to her hus- band as they walked toward the counter to register: “Be sure ’n’ ask if the room’s the same price by the week ’s ’t is fer one or two days. Seems t’ me we ought t’ git ’t fer less ’f we take ’t fer a wdiole week. As soon as she was inside, Airs. Bender made a thorough investigation of the room and its gen- eral equipment. “Hot ’n’ cold water!” she said. “Now ’f that isn’t nice, fer now I c’n wash out our handkerchiefs ’n’ perhaps a pair o’ stockin’s or two. I do wish I’d put a piece o’ laundry soap ’n my bag, but they say you c’n git seven bars o’ good laundry soap here fer twenty -five cents ’n’ we never git but six ’t home.” When the two had removed the dust and dirt of travel, Ephon said, “Now Alyra, ’t’s only ten o’clock ’n’ we c’d go over t’ Bunker Hill ’n’ back afore dinner time.” “You go ’n’ see ’t, Ephon, ’n’ let me go where I want to. I picked a paper up on the train jus’ afore we got int’ the city, ’n’ ’t had a host o’ bargains ad- vertised. I can’t miss a linen sale fer any Bunker Hill.” So poor Ephon Bender went alone on his sight seeing expedition, and on his return he found his wife jubilant over her bargains. She exhibited a number of little tilings, but the greatest purchase of the day was a silk umbrella. “Jus’ you put this umbrella up once, Ephon, ’n’ see the size ’n’ quality of ’t. I only paid a dollar ’n’ ninety-nine cents fer ’t, marked down from four dollars,” said Mrs. Bender. With an impatient jerk her husband raised it. There was a snap and one of the ribs 1 dropped to the floor. “A great bargain, that!” shouted Ephon. “You shouldn’t have raised ’t so hard — but — well, 1 call that a real cheap umbrella !” weeped Mrs. Bender in her turn. Then Ephon thought to change the subject, and so said, “Say, Myra, I saw Joe Hanson ’n’ he ’n’ his wife are goin’ South this afternoon, ’n’ he ’ad two tickets t’ a concert, ’n’ bein’s they c’dn’t enter- tain us, he gave me the tickets. Now we can’t miss ’t, fer it’s one o’ them Bostin Symphony concerts. It’s this afternoon.” “O, Ephon, you jus’ go ’long ’n’ enjoy it, but l must go down t’ a big ‘fire sale.’ Maybe you c’n sell the other ticket ’t the hall.” In the thirty years that Ephon had lived with his wife, he had learned that when she announced her intention to do a thing, she always did it, particu- larly if it involved the saving of a few cents. So, reluctantly he went alone to the concert and re- turned full of enthusiasm over it. He was inter- rupted, however, in the midst of his account of the players by his wife. “I made a bargain today that’s liable t’ turn out the biggest one I ever made. A man, with city written all over him, picked up a nice purse on the street beside me while I was lookin’ ’n a window. He asked me ’f ’t was mine, ’n’ I said no, o’ course. ‘Well,’ he says, ‘I’m leavin’ the city this afternoon ’n’ ’f you give me twenty-five dollars, you may have the purs’e which contains one hundred and fifty dol- lars.’ He said o’ course I w’d git my twenty-five ’n’ probably more ’f I found the owner ’n’ ’f not I had the one hundred and fifty. He said there was no likelihood o’ my e’er findin ' the owner, so I gave ’im the twenty-five dollars, ’n’ that only left me thirty-seven cents; but ’t didn’t worry me, since 1 ’ad one hundred and fifty dollars besides. Then he hurried on his way ’n’ I on mine. Here’s the purse,” concluded Mrs. Bender, handing it to her husband. Ephon took the proffered object and opened it. “Hump” he s ' aid as lie pulled from the purse a roll of wrapping paper, “ ’t looks like you weren’t the only bargain-hunter ’n Bostin. The scoundrel has your twenty -five dollars ’n’ also the one hundred ’n’ fifty you say was’n the purse he picked up. This ’s a notlier purse. I hope you’ve learned now that bargainin’ often fails ’n the long run, so to-morrow you c’n jus’ go with me t’ the Art Museum, ’n’ the Public Lib ’ary, ’n’ over int’ Cambridge.” To this Myra said, with meekness and humility in her voice “I think I will, Ephon.” NmtHfttae Hunk ICtat By Pauline Griesinger. “Joseph Vance” was setting forth on a “Little Journey in the World” toward a “Far Country” in the kingdom of “Chance.” “The Light of the World” was dazzling in his eyes as he gazed “Be- yond” his horizon “Far from the Madding Crowd” to “The Promised Land.” “Sense and Sensibility” were alike keen for the “Adventures” in “Content- ment” along the “Northern Trails,” which this “Captain Courageous” anticipated through the dreams of “The Arabian Nights.” “The Choir Invisible” rivalled “The Birds’ Christmas Carol” heralding “The Dawn of a To- morrow” as he set forth from ‘‘The Doll’s House.

In these war times it will be well to consider any- thing that is an unnecessary expense to the Govern- ment. Alcohol besides being the greatest menace to education and good -citizenship, is costing the United States 1 a vast amount of money. The cost of manufacturing alcoholic beverages may be considered in this connection because none is manufactured unless it is to be used and the drinking of intoxicating liquors is a crime within itself. Seven hundred and seventy-two million dol- lars in capital are invested in plants and equipment for the manufacture of distilled, malt, and vinous’ liquors. Even a larger amount is probably invested by the retail and wnolesale establishments for the sale and distribution of the product. These liquor- manufacturing establishments have an annual out- put in excess of two and a quarter billions of gal- lons. At wholesale prices these liquors are worth +600,000,000. At retail the consumers pay therefor over +2,000,000,000 and the money is worse than wasted. Through the increased tax placed on beer and other intoxicating liquors by the emergency revenue act, the business this year will pay for the support of our various governments not less’ than +409,000,- 000 . Looking at these figures alone it would seem that the liquor business aided rather than hindered the Government but there is something else to consider. To support this vast business ' , to pay dividends on the capital invested therein, to pay $250,000,000 an- nually in salaries and wages and profits to the peo- ple engaged therein and employed thereby, and to contribute annually +4,000,000,000 in taxes for the support of our various governments ; to do this it is necessary that 1,000,000 of our people shall be drunkards, that 4,000,000 of them shall be heavy drinkers, and that 19,000,000 of them shall be regu- lar moderate drinkers, and that the country at large shall suffer an economical loss estimated at $15,000,- 000,000. The License Fees of Ohio’s 5356 saloons alone, if invested in bread would make a bread line 11,209 miles in length. In 1881 an amendment was added to the consti- tution of Kansas the first fourteen words of which are : “The manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors shall be forever prohibited in this state.” This is given the credit for the fact that in 87 of her 105 counties there are no insane. In 54 out of this number are no feeble minded. Ninety-six coun- ties’ have no inebriates, and in the others they are very scarce. Thirty-eight county poor houses are empty and the most of these have been for the best part of a decade. At one time not long ago the jails in 53 counties were empty, and 65 counties were on roll as having no prisoners serving sentence in the penitentiary. Some counties have not called a jury to try a criminal case in ten years, and the attorney general says’ “A grand jury is so uncommon that half our people wouldn’t know what it is and how to use it.” Alcohol causes 25 per cent of all insanity, 37 per cent of pauperism and 49 per cent of crime. In an investigation of crime carried on in 1899 under the direction of Professor Henry W. Farnum of Yale University for the committee of Fifty on the Liquor Problem, the conclusion was reached that liquor was the first cause of 31 per cent of the criminals studied and that it entered in as a cause, directly or indirectly, in 50 per cent. There is also a very great cost to the user of al- cohol himself. The laws of today say to industry, “If a man in your employ loses a finger, an eye, or a limb, you and your insurance agents are liable for the payment of a heavy indemnity.’’ Consequently all the large factories and those paying the best salaries 1 will not employ men who drink because they know that liquor is the cause of most of the acci- dents which occur in their factories. One of the largest steel companies in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, after an exhaustive examination of the cause of accidents in the mills, makes the broad statement that 85 per cent of such accidents’ are at- ' tributable directly or indirectly to liquor. This same company has secured from town officials a record of the prosecution and trials in the town where the plants are located, this record covers a period of 47 days and shows a total number of 106 cases out of which 80 might be attributed to the use of alcohol and 83 were the direct result of drink. After the town of Coatesville, Pennsylvania, had been dry for half a year Mr. Charles L. Huston, vice president of a big steel and iron plant located at that point, in speaking of the change in the mills since saloons were gone, said : “The decrease in accidents in our steel mills for the past six months with Coatesville dry, compared with the same period of last year with Coatesville wet, is 54 per cent. The decrease in applications for aid during the same period is 75 per cent. Insurance companies say that an abstainer is from 30 to 40 per cent better risk than a drinker. This all goes to show that the man who drinks pays the price and it is a high price. He continually faces the choice, “The Drink or the Job.” If the drinker himself were the only one to suf- fer for his crime he would not he interfered with, hut intemperance is hereditary. A great many in- vestigations have been made to prove this. The family history of 3,711 children was traced for three generations. Of the children of abstain- ing parents and grandparents only 4 per cent were dullards’, where of the children of abstaining parents but drinking grandparents, 78 per cent were dul- lards. These cases were multiplied by research in Europe as well as America. All agree that alcohol is responsible to an alarming degree for idiocy, epi- lepsy, feeblemindedness, and all mental deficiencies in children. Investigation was made in ten temperate and ten intemperate families. In the temperate families there were 61 children, 18 per cent were found to he defective and 82 per cent normal while in the in- temperate families out of 57 children 82.5 per cent were defective and only 17.5 per cent normal. The history of the descendants of Max Jukes, who was a drinker, have been traced. Out of 1,000 de- scendants, the history of 540 has been investigated. One-third died in infancy, 310 became paupers and spent a total of 2,300 years in alms houses, 440 were physical wrecks, over one-lialf of the females were prostitutes, 130 were convicted criminals, 7 were murderers. Not one received a common school edu- cation although the chance was offered. By 1877 the family had cost the state of New York $1,250,000. Since by voting the saloons out of this country $15,000,000,000 can be saved and the seven hundred seventy-two million dollars of capital at the present time invested in plants and equipment for the manu- fact ure of distilled, malt, and vinous liquors be turned into plants that will be an aid to the Gov- ernment and the 1,000,000 employed by this business have jobs that will help “Uncle Sam,’ it is the pa- triotic as well as moral duty of every American citi- zen to help vote the saloons out of the United States. “QDurr tljr (Hop attH (Siur ’em ’ell” By Blake Munson. I met him one day as the relief was coming on duty. He was a small, puny, white-faced boy of about nineteen. He was sitting all huddled up on the fire-step. It was his baptism of fire from “Fritz.” I went up to the young fellow and asked why in Hell he had come into this hole, as he was not old enough for the draft. This is the story he told me : When going to high school back in the “States,” he had gotten in a fight with another school mate, who was carrying a U. S. flag. The boy told him to be careful for the flag, but he thought he was afraid of him and just gave this as an excuse, so he started to fight, knocking the flag to the ground and trampling it in the mud. He realized at once that he had spoiled and abused the U. S. flag, and besides disgraced himself for life, so to make him- self forget his disgrace he had enlisted. From now on we will follow his career in the front line trenches, endeavoring to wipe out the stain from the old flag he had abused. Before leav- ing him I told him not to be afraid, because if a shell was ' going to hit him it would whether he was afraid or not. I now left him and he muttered something that I took as, “I’ll show you.” He surely did later. When there was a call for volunteers to go on a scouting expedition into “no man’s land” at night, he was always first to volunteer. In the day time and when there was not much to do he was sullen and always thinking or else indulging in the fa- vorite recreation of the trenches ' , a “cootie” hunt. One night word had been sent up from the rear to be ready to go “Over the Top” at a moment’s notice. There was, of course, a great excitement, for this would be the first and maybe the last time for a great many of us there. Guns were oiled, am- munition was gotten ready, hand grenades were is- sued to some, to be used when within a short dis- tance of the “Fritz” trench to clear it. All was in readiness when the order to go over was given. I noticed on my right the pale faced boy, who was going to show me. He did not seem at all afraid, but very calm and collected. The Germans must have been expecting us, because we had just got started when numerous lights appeared above us. The Germans were sending up “illuminating stars.” Everything was as clear as day and the “Fritz” opened up the guns on us and we were forced back into our trenches. Next morning when the roll was called, many names were not answered to, for many German bul- lets had found their mark and many American boys had done their “bit” and had “gone West.” 1 supposed my friend had, but the next morning the sentry reported commotions in the German trenches, but nothing occurred, so we settled back to work. All eyes ' were turned toward the “Fritz” trench that afternoon. First came my friend, carrying a small flag of truce, and behind him were three German officers. My friend, although having one arm blown off, a scalp wound, and shot through the body, insisted on delivering his prisoners and informing our of- ficer in charge that we were to occupy the German trench. He then reported to the hospital where 1 was taken later with a slight wound. He told me the story of his capture by the Germans, while I was at the hospital. When the Germans opened fire on us, he crept into a shell hole with a scalp wound and there lost all consciousness. He came to the next morning and bandaged his head as best he could with pieces of his underwear. He stayed here all day in the hot sun and mud. He did not dare stand up, as the shell hole was too shallow. His first plan was to crawl back into our trench when night came, but he happened to find a bundle of hand grenades and a rash and exceedingly daring scheme entered his head. When night came, instead of crawling into our trench, he crawled toward the German trenches. The ground was full of large shell holes, into which he continually was slipping and then found it very hard work to draw himself and the grenades out again. At last he arrived at the barbed Avire entangle- ments and began a slow, careful, tedious climb thru this, as any little noise might bring his “bullet.” All soldiers think that some bullet has their name and is for them only and it is only a question of time before they will “go West.” He now crawled up to the edge of the trench and noticed a German sentry seated directly beneath him. He stopped all argument that might have come from the German by promptly shooting him. He also hurled a grenade into the place Avhere the men were thickest and then c ' rawled over the para- pet and started running along the bottom of the trench, chasing the frightened Germans ahead of him. Now and then he Avoidd stop at a dugout and throw a grenade in at the open door. A fleeing Ger- man turned and shot, the bullet being at close range, breaking his arm, another entering his body. lie at last arrived at a large concrete dugout and entered this. In it were a group of officers whom he captured and later turned over to our officers. Before leaving he made the officer promise to order their men to evacuate the trench when our troops saw fit to enter. He noAV returned Avith his prisoners and reported to the hospital. In the hospital his Avounds were more serious than at first thought and after being there about a week he died. When he died he was not the small, puny, white-faced boy I had first known, but larger and harder. He had “gone West.” Now do you think in giving his life, he had taken the disgrace from his head and did he cleanse the spot from the flag he had once soiled 1 jffmithaU By Wayland Hyde. Captain and Manager : Blake Munson. Coach: Mr. C. E. Jenks. Football practice began the latter part of Sep- tember. At first the prospects for a good 1917 team looked rather doubtful, but through the kindness of Mr. Jenks, and the backing from the students, thfe M. H. S. football team, which has been defeated for the last couple of years, brought back the record of Old Medina High this year. At the ' end of the sea- son the following boys received their M’s: Landon Bartholomew, Harold Standen, Raymond Bennett, Charles Warren, Joseph House, Paul Jones, Way- land Hyde, Blake Munson, Vaughn Hartman, Earl Stoup, George Fretz, Robert Tubbs, Wells Whipple, Lloyd Fisher.

Finally we had a box social and raised seventy-eight dollars; then we bought twelve new suits, and a dozen balls. The surplus was left for other expenses. The frequent rains caused us 1 a lot of trouble, as they usually started the same time that the games did. May 29, Medina played three innings with Berea, and succeeded in getting eight hits and five runs. Decoration Day, Medina played Wooster and in the third inning the game was called with no runs. And now we read about baseball in the Bible. “The Devil was the first coach. He coached Eve when she stole first. Adam stole second.” “When Isaac met Rebecca at the well, she was walking with a pitcher.” “Samson struck out when he beat the Philistines.” “Moses made his first run when he saw the Egyptians.” “Cain made a base hit when he killed Abel.” “David was a long distance thrower.” THE TEAM Fred Lowe — Fritz L.

The passing of the Smith-Hughes law by the Fed- eral Government has made it possible for us to have an instructor of Agriculture devoting his entire time for twelve months in the year, to the teaching of this very important subject in our school and community. As soon as it was learned that Ohio, through the State Board of Agriculture, had accepted the Smith- Hughes proposition, we made a formal application for the placing of the Vocational Course in our school. We were inspected by the State Inspector and met the required qualifications. A four year course of study was submitted to the State Board and accepted and at the beginning of the second semester work the new course was started. Two courses were offered, one in Field Crops and one in Animal Husbandry. Ten students were enrolled in the Field Crops clas’s and sixteen in the Animal Husbandry class. These classes will be con- tinued next year and at least one new one will be started. The department has a good foundation on which to work as about two hundred and fifty dollars worth of equipment has been supplied and an Agri- cultural Library has been started and now contains about sixty volumes. This new course is certainly a progressive step in High School “education, especially during this age of specialization. The course requires the regular academic courses for college entrance and also offers the following subjects. FIRST YEAR— Biology Farm Crops Supervised Home Project Essentials of Woodworking and Drawing. SECOND YEAR— Animal Husbandry Supervised Home Project Farm Mechanics Horticulture or Bee Culture THIRD YEAR— Soils and Soil Fertility Dairying Supervised Home Project Farm Accounts Farm Shop Work FOURTH YEAR— Supervised Elective Farm Engineering and Drainage Farm Management Supervised Home Project Normal (Claim History. By Hope Edwards. The Normal Class of 1918 needs no introduction for “By their works ye shall know them.” What is- best must be said in fewest words. Possibly we have not made as big a stir in the school as some classes have, but we have kept up a steady pace. We all have a purpose in life as well as an aim. It is deemed not sufficient for any one of us simply “to be,” for the whole world is living the verb “to do.” As we leave school the world challenges us; so shall our motive be “What can 1 get out of the world,” or shall it be “What can 1 do for the world.” If fate leads some of us into a life of single blessedness, we can live honorably and well ; if fortune favors part to be home makers, they too can fill that place honorably and well. As a class in coming here we were fortunate to find such an admirable study room, and able in- structors. Although previous classes have worked to make these rooms what they are, we, the class of 1918, established the Normal Colors which are Pur- ple and Gray. We also purchased a large silk United States Hag, and smaller ones of the Allies. Our instructors for the year have been : Miss Stuenkel, Directress of all our work, who has train- ed us in Methods, Physical Culture, Penmanship, and History of Education; Mr. Jenks and Mr. Hawk, in Psychology ; Mr. Conkle in Sociology and Class- room Management; Miss Chapman, our faithful in- structor in Domestic Science, who has taught us the full value of food conservation. In connection with this, a most profitable wmek was spent under the supervision of Miss Olga Elifritz of the Ohio State University, who taught us how to conserve food, and can fruit most conveniently. We are grateful to the grade teachers for their patience, helpfulness, and kindly attitude towards us in doing our practice teaching. At the beginning of the school year we were ten in number and from different parts of the county : Helen Whitney and Persis Pierce from Chatham; Lela Eastwood from Hinckley ; Ruth Dutt from Mal- let Creek ; Kathryn Bowman from Litchfield ; Clara AVickwire from Granger; Lucy AValters from Spen- cer; Kathryn Stevenson and Hope Edwards from Homer; and Mrs. Clara Burnham of Medina. Airs. Burnham after a few months left Medina ; we re- mained nine in number until after the beginning of the second semester when Eleanor Wright entered. Our history would not be complete without men- tioning a few of the several class parties we have had. One, a six o’clock dinner at the Garfield Build- ing in honor of Ruth Dutt’s and Hope Edward’s birthdays. Another was a sleigh ride party to the home of Ruth Dutt at Mallet Creek. The most nota- ble feature of the evening was when the dog stole our sandwich meat But we all decided that cheese was better than meat anyway. Another very good time was enjoyed at the home of Air. and Airs. Chas. Hobart at a Valentine Social, another a taffy pull at the rooms of Afisses Edwards and Stevenson. We leave with regret our teachers’ and classmates with whom we have been associated the past year and with whom we have made life-long friends. It is with this kind regard to all that we leave Medina County Normal, and may the high record set by the class of Eighteen ne’er be marred by any future class.
