OIlasB PrpBtb nfa Aibr aa By Everett Royden In behalf of the rlass of 1921, I wish to welcome you on this occasion, our last appearance as a class. We deem it a privilege to be here this evening and although we feel a satisfaction in having completed our High School work, yet there is also regret that we shall no longer have the companionship of our schoolmates and teachers which we have so much enjoyed during our High School years. C ur High School years, beginning in 1917 and closing tonight, cover the most critical period in the history of the world. We feel sure, however, that this fact will help to make us truer and more noble citizens. We realize that there are many difficidt problems to be solved before this country of ours returns to the coi’.ditions prior to 1914. The past few years have led some to think that an education is not necessary for success in life. Times, however, are changing and in the few years which lie just before us, more than ever before, the man or woman with an education ' ill be sought after to accept the positions of res ponsi- bility and trust in our country’s industrial ai ' d commercial life. We feel that each one of us has a work to do in demonstrating our patriotism, our ideals of service, as future citizens. In this critical period of reconstruction and adjustment our real worth will be tested in a different way but just as serious way as in the period we have just passed. We can all have a part in it, women as well as men, girls as well as boys. Whatever helps to make the nation better ; whatever serves to help the people of the land ; whatever in any way makes America or any portion of it better worth the living in, will he helping in the great task facing us as citizens today. Whatever elevates individuals, elevates to a greater or less degree the community of which that individual is a part. We trust that as we go forth from Medi na High School we may prove to the world our school is one of the best mills of the country for grinding out individuals that are worth while. We shall make loyalty our controlling spirit and, being loyal to ourselves, to our class and to our school, we shall of necessity be loyal to every claim that the American Nation can demand of the most efficient of her sor.s and daughters in any hour of need. Let us show the world as we step out ir.to its fields of endeavor that we are the stuff the best citizens are made of, carrying in our hearts whatever adversities life may bring, that same spirit of courage and resolution and integrity which we have carried with us during our High School years. We call this commencement, and truly it is, for this class is entering upon life’s real work. What the future holds in store for us we know r.ot but I have confider.ee in every member of this class that he or she will be equal to every difficulty that may arise and will prove to be men and women of worth to their home and to their cor; try. Permit me now, in conchidin.g, to express the most Iiearty thanks of the class to all who have made this commencement possible. To tl ' ie superir.ter.dent and teachers let me say to you that we realize now as never before the debt of gratitude which we owe jou for 5 mur efforts and untiring patie:;ce durir.g these four years of p.eparation. I’o the Board of Education, we thank you for the splendid facilities we have been privileged to utilize. (i)nce again, in behalf of the Class of 1921, I welcome vou to these our commencement exercises. 13 alpittrt 0 ri| Hy Hazel Dale Rickard We, the Class of 1921, are leaving tonight the High School and the many pleasures and as- sociations of the past four years. Words cannot express the emotions that will fill our hearts as we stand here as one for the last time. We hjive spent many enjoyable days together and it is indeed with regret that we break this bond of fellowship; for tonight brings back many pleasant and golden memories of the four years we have spent together as classmates. The more fortunate of us may go to college, the rest must put our hands to the wheel of active business life, but whatever we do, we shall find abundant cause to remember our school with gratitude. Our teachers, who have labored so faithfully for us, whose patience we have so often tried; and friends, who have taken such an interest in ovir work, who have helped us through so many difficulties; our dear old High School, whose halls have echoed with the tread of our footsteps or resounded with our voices, are vivid memories of our past, which forbids us to forget each other. Long may we cherish these memories, and tell to those who come after us, the pleasures of our school days, our blunders, our failures, our triumphs, so that they may profit from our experiences. We have completed the course that has been given us and are ready for a step forward along the pathway of life. So far we have come together, hand in hand. We have been looking forward to this evening as a most happy one, forgetting that it would mean a time of parting. Now we are suddenly forced to realize this truth and, in spite of our triumph, feelings of sadness come. So I shall not linger over the parting words. Dear Classmates: I am sure that we .shall not forget each other, that we shall always think of these days as very happy ones, that made us, as clas.smates, a little nearer and dearer to one an- other than mere friends. Let us, as we part, pledge ounselves to remember all the true and lofty aims that have been born within us in our work together, and uhich shall make our lives such as will be a source of pride to our school and bring honor to our community.

ANNUAL HOARD MtHtarij nf OIlasB nf ’22 By Jennie McDonald If you had been fortunate enough to be near the High School early in September of 1918 you would have seen a very clever group of young people making their way toward their new palace of learning. The upper class men were kind to us and even allowed some of us to make speeches and sing alone. So we started, but wait till we are through. During our Freshman year we were very studious and did not have one party. But during our Sophomore year we enjoyed one party at the Garfield Building and had a very agreeable time. I ' hen came our big year, our Junior year. This year we got our rings and pins, of which we are very proud. We have had two parties this year, one a sugar party at Ruth Nold’s and the other at the home of Eva and Edith Curtis, where we had a general good time. We are all looking forward to ne.xt year with some joy with which is mingled a few tears, for it is our last year in M. H. S. and we are rather hesitating to step from the well guarded routine of High School life into the open world, but with all the strength and knowledge we have gathered from our four years in dear old Medina High we hope to bring fame to “Dear Old Alma Mater.” Ruth Nold Paul Hostetler Virgil Curtiss Jennie McDonald Eva Curtiss Noel I: win Harris Hange l estia V eimer Francis Kelly RiKlolp Rtjder Albert Kellogg S . sie Worden Edithi iCurtiss Theodore Kirk Harold King Dorthy Hunt LaVelle Kirk Mabel Orton Do othy Kindig ' Charlene Luke ICloda Pelton Hugh Buchanan Richard Cable Julia Vance SOPHOAIORE B’s Left to Right: First Row — Catherine Clement, Constance McNeal, Maud Webber, Miriam Win- ters, Mildred Leatherman, Virginia Wilt.

Barnes The aim of the Vocational Agriculture Course as given under the Smith-Hughes law, is to fit the high school boy for useful employment on the farm, and also provide an opportunity for the pupil to find out what advantages this occupation has to offer, and his own adaptability for farm work. In short, it should prepare the student to work and to live as a farmer with as high a degree as possible of profit and pleasure to himself and of benefit to the rest of humanity. The vocational course attains this end through a four-year course in agriculture, correlating with this a strong gen- eral high school course. The Vocational Agriculture Course also calls for home project work by each pupil under the supervision of the vocationl teacher, who continues his work during the summer in supervising the home work of the pupils. This makes a continuous educational process throughout the year and should bind the school and community closely together. It should create a new interest in the regular school work by assisting directly in the application of its teachings to the practical affairs of the com- munity. The course is such that it helps not only those taking the work, but all others who are concerned and will make use of the opportunities afforded. The boys of the department carried on some interesting project work in animal husbandry last year with pure bred hogs. Alost of the boys are continuing the last year’s work and are thus obtaining a start in the pure bred hog business. This is always encouraged so that by the time a boy has finished his high school course, he may be fitted financially to start farming for himself. This year’s projects are proving very interesting and instructive. Five boys are keeping milk records and testing their home dairy herds ; three boys are scientifically caring for their home orchards, and nine boys are raising an acre of potatoes. Prospects now indicate a good year in the project work. ITe agriculture boys are inclined to somewhat favor athletics this year, having organized a basketball team and a baseball team. It is also rumored that with the increased enrollment in the department expected next fall, and there will be an agriculture football team on the field. I ' he social side of education is also included in the vocational department. The agriculture club, composed of the vocational boys, was organized this year. The club met several times during the year. The main occasions being a Christmas get-together, where each boy received some useful gift from some one of his classmates; a fishing party, and weiner roast at Rocky River. Walter Roshon was the champion fisherman of the party. The greatest social gathering of the year was the “Father’s and Son’s’’ banquet. The boys invited their fathers and prospective boys and their fathers, the county agent, and Board of Education and entertained them with a fine banquet furnished by the boys and served by the domestic science girls, after which a good program was carried out, with Prof. F. H. McMillin of the Agriculture Education department, Ohio State University, the main speaker of the evening. Now that the work of the vocational department is well under way, it is hoped that more will make use of the opportunities offered by the course in ocational Agriculture.

The coach worked hard with the fellows to get them lined up and get the team to work together. I ' he team was rather l ight and was not able to hold some of the heavier teams. The first game of the season was at West Park, Oct. 1st. This being the first game the fellows were a little scared and left the score 0-0. The next game was at Wooster, Oct. 28tli. I ' he rivals were too quick for our fellows and they lost. On Nov. 5th, Cleveland South High came here and were victorious. T he last game of the season was at home, our old rivals, Wadsworth, came over, and the team lost the game and were so badly crippled after that that they did not play any more games.

Nine games were scheduled, but rain and sickness pre ented three of them. Four especially good games were played at home against teams that we had every reason to believe should be our superiors. We were very sorry that it seemed necessary to cancel the game with Ashland, since Wooster beat them as bad if not worse than they beat us. 1 he Ashland boys would have had a poor showing with all of our boys on the field. One of the best things about our boys in all sports is that they are clean and that they can take defeat as gracefully as they can victory. We are all proud of our boys, whether they lose or win, so next year let’s get behind them and boost a little harder. However, tlie success of our baseball seaso.i was not entirely due to the boys. Medina is favored in having several girls that are certainly a success at tickets and to them we are greatly in- debted for a successful year. Coach — Mr. Funk. Captain — Harold Sprankle.

Faculty Mgr. — Mr. McCall PoPtttH Late in the Spring a young Sophomore was seated in the Assembly Room, musing over a manuscript. An instructor, wondering at the unusual concentration, asked to see the paper, and discovered the following: Peace After Seniors Have Gone After the seniors have gone away Then will be our happy day, For they always think they are all in all And after they’re gone will come our call. Then we can walk with our heads held high. And make the freshmen feel rather shy. We’ll go to the office with some excuse And beg Mr. Wagner to turn us loose. Then, bubbling over with joy, we’ll run. Filled with plans for packs of fun. Yes, these are oiu di ' eams for a future day AVhen all these seniors have gone away. The life of a Freshman is a difficult one in- deed, according to our young poet. True Love Down on the corner of South Broadway Is the school where I go ’most every day. The teachers are all supposed to be true, But I get along with only a few. For numerous callings do I get. No matter where and how 1 sit. 1 always search for some excuse. But to high school teachers it’s of no use. So vainly do I struggle through, - ' .Iway.s hoping for something new. But, as usual, every day It s the same old story in the same old way.

H. S.: — You are about to start out into the world “on your own.” Have you a well laid set of plans, or are you just going to drift- No ship ever got any- where without compass and charts. Better have some real definite objec- tive and be sure to arrive. One objective should be to save, to get ahead financially. — Did you know that every year we squander SR22,000,000,000.00 for lux- uries and save for life insurance $1,000,000 000.00, or out of each dollar over 95c is wasted on smokes, sweets, looks and smells — less than a nickel is saved in life insurance. Wouldn’t it be tetter to reverse these figures ard have an endowment policy coming due at the time when money looks especially good — say from age thirty up, a ' ' d at the same time create an estate for your expenses and your family, in case you do not have the chance to finish the whole voyage? — Let me tell you more about the plan of saving through endowment insur- ance and of the many pleased people who have received the reward of sys- tematic savings in their final settlements with THE NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.
