By MILDRED PRITCHARD One cold morning in January twenty-seven frightened boys and girls waited in the Garfield building for some one in High School to come and escort us to our future school building. At last Miss Drake arrived and we left Miss Wheatley’s room and marched to the assembly room. We were a little uneasy as we had heard how Freshmen were treated on the day of initiation. However, frightened as we were, we managed to get up on the stage where Lawrence Hem- meter kindly invited us to give a speech or sing a song. In a few days we had a class meeting with Clayton Bates as chairman. We elected Dean Oat- man, president; Ted McDowell, vice president; Genevieve Winters, secretary, and Frank Erb treasurer. We were lucky enough to enter High School in time for the party given in the I. O. O. F. hall, where we had a very good time, and we are all proud to say that we are now a part of the Medina High School.

By ALVERTA MUNSON This class, to the number of sixty-six, entered High School in September, 1921. We went into the assembly room with shaking knees that first day and were all put on exhibition up on the plat- form where several of our large number were given a chance to show their talents. We were given the Freshman room with Miss Rice in charge. We elected as our class offi- cers, Ernest Vance, president; Dorothy Bagley, vice-president; and Nora Kindig, secretary and treasurer. In January we became lAs and it is a great satisfaction to realize that we are no longer the “babies” of the High School. It may be that we are just a little inclined to be haughty to the younger Freshmen but we shall probably overcome this fault with time. We hope that there will be just as many and perhaps more in the class when we graduate and that we will leave a good impression behind us.

32 OJtje Annual €»djool Party t One of the most elaborate parties ever given by the high school was held in the I. 0. 0. F. hall Friday evening, February 10. The affair was called a “Measur- ing Party,” every attendant being charged one cent per inch of height as an en- trance fee. The proceeds which amounted to $71, were used for athletics. During the measuring, piano music was provided by the Misses Venner, Nich- ols, and Watkins and after this various games were played, “cat and rat,” “spell- ing contest,” “the weavers,” etc. Miss Florence Phillips, chairman of this commit- tee, was ably assisted by the other members of the faculty. An interesting feature of the musical part of the program was the first ap- pearance of the Medina’s string (violin) quartette, the players being Miss Virginia Wilt, Miss Arleen Beck, Martin Baldwin and Donald Ausman. They gave as their number a medley of National airs. The high school orchestra of eighteen pieces gave a half hour’s program, two numbers being solos by Maynard Flickinger, trombone, and Robert Gable, cornet. After the musical program, which was under the direction of John Beck, re- freshments in the form of ice cream cones were served by the teachers under the direction of Mr. Barnes, chairman of that committee. An hour of dancing followed, with music furnished by Miss Audrey Sedgwick and Miss Esther Venner, pianists, with Richard Warner at the traps. An enjoyable evening was spent by everyone of the one hundred and sixty people present.
