Accordingly, I extend to you the cordial welcome of each and every member of the class. I 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 and feelings are made manifest. Yet I feel that this institution and these occasions are far more dear to the hearts of our townfold, and much more pertinent to their lives than they ever actually realize. Were this custom of the commemoration of the completion of the high school course 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 be- fore them to take their formal farewell of high school days : — -boys and girls whom they have seen grow up from childhood and pass through our schools; 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 tonight in that time-honored way, we hope that you may see the deep significance of it all; and as we go forth, each one to! his life-work, may the memory of this glad beginning abide with you, and be to each member of the class ever a source of renewed courage. It is, moreover, the sincere wish of this class tonight, that you may believe the significance of the completion of our high school career is not only for the older ones to realize, but that it is not denied the comparative carelessness of youth to understand, at least, to some degree. It is, then, with this thought in mind, that I feel I need make no apologies if I touch upon things which might be placed beyond the concern of high school students. Tho vague realities until the present, they become vivid when we find our high school days are over. It seems well for us, who are about to step forth into the arena of the world’s progress, to consider something of what our parts in life are, and wha t they should signify as citizens of this great republic, and, too, to ascertain what the relation of our now completed high school life bears to the citizenship which we are about to take upon us. We realize that we owe our preparation for citizenship to the wisdom, and the hope, and the labors of the people of our town. They have built the life of the community wisely. There is no greater monument to their wisdom, and their sincerity in attempting to make the grade of citizenship in this community high than the fine school facilities which they have provided. We who are now indebted to them for our diplomas do appreciate these things and especially this magnificent high school building which we have so thoroughly enjoyed the past year, and in which we are tonight privileged to celebrate our graduation. Good schools show the aim and the character of any com- munity. There is nothing selfish in the establishment of schools, that is more true than of any other enterprise of which we can think. There is no other institution which more surely determines what the character of the citizenship of a community, and of a nation is to be, than do the schools. There is no other institution which is so open to all, and in which can be developed an appreciation of respect, and even of at- tachment, between people of different classes to the extent which is possible in the schools. For the maintenance of no other institution is there more cooperation among all citizens. The strength of our nation lies in her schools, the ability of her citizens is due, in a large part, to her schools. To our schools, largely, we must look to help each citizen to 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 of a democracy is seen to demand. 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 nations work, for each has a work to do, and we can all do our part in helping to make the nation better and nobler. The appreciation of what our task is, K Twenty-One MEDINI AN and the ability to meet the demands of our duties we owe to the schools, and the schools owe their existence to the quiet patriotism of citizens of our community. We feel that we can best express our appreciation to you in doing with cheerful hearts the work that citizenship brings, ' that our national ideals may remain pure and un- spotted and that we may bequeath to the generations which follow us, civic ideals of which we may be as justly proud as we are of those which you have placed before us and so well upheld — you, our parents and friends. Inheritor of a glorious past each generation is a trustee for posterity. To pre- serve, protect, and transmit its inheritance unimpaired is its highest duty. To accom- plish this is not the task of the few, but the duty of all. So may the ideals of the class and the nation be in accord. As citizens, let us make loyalty our controlling spirit, and in being loyal to ourselves, our class, and our school, we will of necessity be loyal citizens. With “Sincerity, Simplicity, and Service” let us carry still in our hearts, whatever life may bring, the same spirit of courage and resolution and high-minded integrity, with which we must bid each other farewell. And, in remembering the lessons of our school days, and in following the example of those good citizens who have made this night possible, may we transmit the rich heritage not only unimpaired, but better for our having been its custodian during the time alloted us. Class Picture By Alverta Munson I do not pretend to be an artist for I was never proficient in drawing any thing — except attention perhaps. In the lower grades when we were asked to show our skill in drawing I always labeled my efforts to save myself the embarrassment of further questioning. We have a Class roll of sixty-two boys and girls and I cannot hope to do justice to each one or to all of them in this outline of their good and bad features. To begin with — our Class of ’25 is of course a very remarkable one. Each member is a genius in some form or other; some at skipping school some at regular attendance some at their lessons and some at getting through without ever getting a lesson. We are all talented. Although the boys are in the minority their greater bulk offsets their lesser number. Just a few statistics to reveal our possibilities: Our ages range from sixteen to twenty-two years; our height from four feet eleven inches to six feet. Our six foot fellow is Neil Dickinson who plays baseball and a violin. Our weights range from ninety pounds in the person of Beatrice Huntley, the pianist for the high school orches- tra, to one hundred and eighty pounds. Taken as a group we would make an individual who should be very wise if he had utilized all his time and opportunity for he would be one thousand seventy years old, weigh over four tons and measure twenty rods in length, looking down from our vantage point of years and height the freshmen look unusually young and inex- perienced. Of this remarable class two are singers and they represent this phase of us in the persons of Alline Nettleton and Margaret Watkins. We are proud of Elizabeth Fretz, at all times, but especially when she plays her cello. Several play violins — five of the first violinists in the ' orchestra being seniors. The leading coronetist is Rolland Hoff, while the oboe is played by Ralph Wise. Alline Nettleton and Opal Snyder also represent the high school in debating. Thirteen of the senior boys were out for football, four for basketball and six for base- ball. This fully shows that there is no lacking in either enthusiasm or brilliancy in any activity. I am sure that each member of our class has a glorious future. From our ranks you can pick out the future presidents, ministers, statesmen, artists, physicians, judges, dentists, lawyers, and men of all professions of the world. It is not necessary to desig- nate them by studying our pictures you can judge for yourself. May we all live up to our looks and the great expectations society has for each. M E D I N I A N Twenty-Two Class History 1925 j By Alline Netteton It has been said that history repeats itself, but it is doubtful if the history of the class of ’25 could ever be equaled. Twelve years ago with high I. Q’s and eager to learn, we were ushered into the kindergarten department. Promotion followed promotion and after seven and one-half years we found ourselves 8 A’s. After a few finishing touches Miss Wheatley sent us on again to higher learning. It seems a long, long time ago that we entered the old high school, for the boys wore knee trousers and the girls were in short dresses, yes, even shorter than they are now. It was on a bright and peaceful September morning when we, with hands and faces lately washed and hair arranged in latest fashions ascended the steps to M. H. S. The Seniors intended that we should entertain them with our awkwardness and ignorance. We were arrayed on the platform and initiated by “Dutch” Hemmeter. Alas, for poor “Dutch” and the Seniors instead of finding us a bunch of dumb- bells they opened their eyes in amazement at our charm of manner and ready wit. We had entered a new world and found our surroundings most novel and interesting. At first we seemed lost and were unaccustomed to the new rules. Each teacher seemed uglier than each of the others and tried to see how unbearable they could make life for the Freshmen. After a time we learned it was not manners on their part but what They pleased to call discipline. The Sophomores, who had recently been the begin- ners now felt a superiority and paternal love for the “freshies.” They de- ceivingly tried to teach us the game of skipping classes, sliding down ban- isters, writing notes and gossiping in the hallways. But luck did not al- ways prevatt and as a result there were after-school parties in Professor Wagner’s office semi-occasionally. With what a different air we entered as proud, domineering, sopho- mores to that of the preceding year as humble and timid freshmen. There came into our midst a great number of freshmen whose greenness could never be discribed. We remembered our savage reception and therefore with untroubled conscience th ey were treated likewise. Then our spirits rejoiced and we were exceedingly glad. Many were our triumphs as sophomores. Our young nobles felt their muscles strengthening and went forth with brave hearts to the battle of “base” and “foot” ball. We felt society calling and with various teachers as chaperons we enjoyed several parties. We took an increased interest in all high school activities. As we entered the Junior class the world seemed to expand and our greatness enlarged in our estimation. We gave only the most pitying glances at the poor freshmen and barely nodded to the “sophs” as we be- longed to the upper ten. It would take a volume to write the history of that junior year. We edited the “Medinian” the annual year book of Medina High School. We contributed bright and shining stars to the or- chestra, glee club, ball diamond, debating team — in fact we entered every field of intellectual endeavor and won laurels beyond all calculation. Twenty-Three MEDINI AN Never was there such joy and pride as the day we entered the high school as seniors. With dignified step and compressed lips we took our places for the last lap of the journey that would place us “Out of School Life and into Life’s School.” Our boys took part in the football games and came off with many victories as well as many defeats, not to mention many bruises and the loss of much cuticle. Others of our number entered the baseball field and were cheered and hissed by turns as they made home runs and fanned out. We sponsored the largest and best lecture course ever put on by Medina High School. This was made possible through the increased fa- cilities of the new high schoo l. We determined to present to the people a great and wonderful play wherein each was to act what he was not. We chose as the sacrifice the play, “Back Again, Home Town.” At one of those senior meetings which are much desired because they break the usual monotony, we elected our class officers viz : President, Dean Oatman ; Secretary, Alline Nettleton ; and Treasurer, Roy Thomas. Later with our usual good sense we selected our class motto, “Simplicity, Sincerity and Service,” “S” being our favorite letter; class colors, pink and white, and class flower, pink rose. For twelve years we have eaten the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, sixty-two strong, and take our place in the ranks of those who are doing useful things in the world. Senior Class Poem By Pearl Hoddinott “At Leaving” The lingering melody floats away And leaves our heart alon e, But still may brighten some duller day, Tho hushed its mellow tone. Reluctant when the last page’s turned, The book is laid aside, Yet with its lessons we have learned, It still may be our guide. The rose whose odor filled the soul, When wilted’s thrown away, Yet spurs us onward toward our goal And cheers our trembled way. The song of bird, and sunset’s glow, And landscape’s subtle charm, And all the beauties earth can show, Keep hearts forever warm. So now we greet in friendship’s name, — There is no nobler joy: A classmate’s touch now lights a flame That time cannot destroy. And now the time has come to part, Our high school days are o’er; But fondest memories will impart Glad hope forever more. M E D INI AN T iventy-Four Class Prophecy By Ralph Schlechty As chief draftsman, I had just finished putting my 0. K. on a drawing and glanced up to make sure of the date. What, surely not June 9, 1940? How time flies. Why, it seems only a short time since, with a diploma in my hand, I left old Medina High. And now June 9. How well do I remember — My dreams were suddenly in- terrupted by the piping voice of a messenger boy, and relieving him of a telegram, I I hastily tore it open. It was an invitation to a reunion of the Class of ’25 given back in Medina. It would not do to be absent, so after explaining matter to the manager, Rex Van, he gladly gave me permission to go. Rex had made wonderful progress since leaving high school and I considered myself indeed fortunate in having him for my employer. The following afternoon I boarded an air liner manned by Harry Eckert, and bidding Chicago good-bye, started east. Since Harry had great influence with the company, it was no trouble for him to get off to attend the reunion. As I stopped off at Cleveland, I saw a city car with “Medina” in large bold letters on it, and boarding it in a confusion of thoughts, found my old home town was now a suburb of the city. How strange things seemed. I was fairly lost in what was once the village of Medina. Walking down Broadway, my eyes fell upon a sign reading, “Snyder- Winters- Aylard, Attorneys at Law.” Oh, yes, I remember having recently read about these famous lawyers winning an important case against the state. Turning west at third street, I beheld a magnificant candy kitchen with proprietor Oatman standing in the doorway. It was getting late and I started for a large building that had all the outward appearances of a hotel. As I registered, a lady inquired as to whether or not I had ever lived in this town. After satisfying her that I had, she extended her hand and I found myself shaking hands with the half owner of the hotel, Faye Lance. She said that she and her sister, Hilda, had estab- lished a good business. After spending a night of much needed rest, I partook of a light breakfast and started out to find a barber shop. Seeing the well-known sign of one a little ways down the street, I thought I would be the first one in, but upon stepping through the doorway, I certainly was surprised to find Glen Beck already in the chair. The fact that he was very busy as a radio salesman, accounted for his being there so early. Although street cars ran in every direction, I preferred to Walk, and passing over a huge viaduct, I saw the sign. “Snyder and Benedict, Manufacturers.” Of course I remembered those men and decided to go down to the factory. I was cordially welcomed at the office and learned that they had the exclusive right to manufacture nonblotable fountain pens. They gladly showed me through the plant, which re- quired considerable time as it covered nearly ten acres. Buying a newspaper outside, I saw in one corner, “Fulton and Kindig publishers.” Oh yes, that must be Edna and Nora who were always the first ones to get the latest happenings. Getting a fine lunch consisting of “College Inn Bean Sprouts,” “Chicken a la King,” and “Idaho Baked Potatoes,” at Kavanaugh’s restaurant, I started back toward the hotel. On my way there a car stopped near me, and I instantly recognized those who were in ’25, Frances Bowman, Dorothy Bagley, and Alverta Munson. As their “hubbies” were out of town on business, they were spending their time on the golf links. On crossing a busy street, I was waved back by a traffic cop who would easily have measured six feet three. He seemed in some way familiar, and after study- ing his figure for a few minutes, I came to the conclusion that it must be Charles Romig. I rested a while and donning my full dress suit, I caught a taxi for the high school building. Many improvements had been made and in reality it seemed like a changed building. The auditorium was nearly filled with the Class of ’40 as our hosts, and many of the veterans of ’25. “Pug” Abbott met me just inside the door and said that his partner, Ernest Vance, would be there as soon as he had placed a man in charge of the milkingmachines on their dairy farm. I was then hailed by the world’s most noted pharmacist, Prof. Young, who with his secretary, Vivian Hatch, had journeyed from New York. Yes, I remembered him from his picture always accom- panying the advertisements of the “Young and Co. Drug Stores.” Of course the party was for the purpose of renewing old acquaintances and that T wenty-Fivc MEDINI AN was exactly what I did. Glen Stoup, who had recently taken over the management of the Cleveland Indians, was there with his ambidexterous twirler, Neil Dickinson. To be sure Medina had a broadcasting station located on the high school buiding. Maynard Abbott, official announcer of W. Z. Y., Omaha, was there and proved that he lived up to his reputation as the nation’s best announcer. Presently four familiar faces appeared in the doorway and the great music promoters of Cincinnati had arrived; Donald Ausman, who had won fame in many cities, Elizabeth Fretz, who had no rival as a cellist, and Beatrice Huntley and Rolland Hoff, about whom all amateur musicians study. I was immediately approached by a short heavy set man and soon was shak- ing hands with L. V. Bair, president of the Eastern Connecticut Milk Association. All leading farm papers contained many of his articles. He asked me if I knew how the building had attained such splendid lighting effect. As I did not, I was not a little surprised to find that Ralph Wise, president of the Cleveland Theatrical Lighting Co. had sent his best employees to do the work. It didn’t take me long to see that a man of vast quantities of money was present. A crowd was hanging around him, and by his monocle, platinum wrist watch, and large diamond, I knew he was well supplied with the necessities of life. Edging my way through the crowd, I beheld Leroy Perkins, owner of half of Wall Street. I learned from his secretary, Elizabeth Kirk, that he had made his fortune by manufacturing a brand of ice cream that never melted. I was attracted by a face that I had recently seen in the papers and almost instantly knew it to be Alline Nettleton, now occupying a seat in the U. S. Senate. Seeing her recalled the fact that during the last session of congress, she had taken up over half the time “filibustei’ing.” I was by this time getting tired so I seated myself by a dark complexioned fellow. It was not very long until he punched me and said, “Hello, Sklect.” I was nearly overcome with surprise when I found that he was an American and Tom Rowe at that. He had lately returned from a hunting trip in the wilds of Africa and surely was tanned. I learned from Tom that Mary Kuntz and Barbara Jakab were in China performing ;he duties of missionaries, and that Phillips Holmes had ended up in Hollywood. About this time it was announced that refreshments were being served and as I sat down, my pet corn was highly insulted by a pair of number elevens. I didn’t need to look up to know who was the owner, for Dick Cotner, after begging my pardon, in- formed me that he was half-owner of the great Cleveland suburb, Chippewa Park. This summer resort was one of the finest in Ohio and was attended annually by thous- ands of people. Directly across from me sat Lilly and Pearl Hoddinott, founders of a large Chicago millinery store. I had often heard women remark that there were such “cute” hats at the Hoddinott store. The refresments were wonderful and I soon discovered the reason. The recipes had been formulated by Josephine Palker and Frances Miller, owners of the finest cafe in Boston. Among the various toasts that followed, one was given by Nellie Short, principal of the St. Louis Commercial School; and another by the U. S. ambassador to France, the Hon. George Myers. Lately Mr. Myers had introduced into the world conference a measure that each nation should take turns establishing police boats to regulate the traffic on the Atlantic. After lunch dancing seemed to be in order and, as a group of ladies passed me, I distinctly heard Violet Betz’s little giggle, and knew that Emma Curtis must be near her. Surely that had been their pictures I had lately seen in the papers referring to the most efficient stenographer in New York. They were now employed by the “Buf- falo Potato Chip Manufacturing Co.” One gentleman’s dancing in particular at- tracted my attention, and, as I saw his face, I recognized him to be Arnold Overholt, who was now an instructor of a large dancing school in Jacksonville. Finding Dean who had come in late, I learned that Prof. Carleton, of the “Kansas City Scientific Re- search Commission,” was unable to be present. I knew it must be Forest because the annual report of that institution stated that ‘Mr. Forest Carleton had just discovered a chemical that would remove whiskers without the aid of any implement.” Roy Thomas, who for the last ten years had been holding down first base on the Washington team, was also detained. About this time I heard a gentleman’s name spoken with the title Dr. attached to it. Upon investigation I discovered Dr. Smith who, with his little moustache and “Van Dyke” beard, greatly resembled the French doctors. Dean pointed out G. Schafer and R. Kinch of the great Shafer-Kinch wholesale clothiers; and also Jacy MEDINI AN Twenty-Six Kernan and Harriet Kulp, who believed the proper sphere for women was in the home. They aspired to nothing higher than a cozy home and contentment with what they had. They had each met a man who was looking for just such a girl, and nothing more need be said. During an intermission in the dancing, the usual chatter and noise was suddenly broken by a shrill feminine voice, and although voices are somewhat changed by radio, I knew it was Margaret Watkins because I had listened to her many times. Velda Eastwood and Ruth Hood passed by us and they told me they were running adding machines in the Federal Reserve Bank at Cleveland. As time waits for no man, the party began -to disperse, and I was congratulating myself on having met all my old classmates, when Rosa Rieder and Geraldine Beedle came into view, and I extracted from Dean that they were following in the footsteps of many others in making good homes for their families; and they really seemed the happiest in the class. As duty called me, it was with regret that I left for Chicago the following morn- ing. The conductor on the Pullman, after eyeing me for a while, inquired if I was Ralph Schlechty. Upon assuring him that I was, he made himself known and I was certainly glad to shake with “Wes” Barfoot. But then I should have expected it since the railroad company employs only highly respected and courteous men. I had a long story to tell Rex when I returned, and we lived over together for the fifteenth time the scenes that had taken place back in ’25. Class Will By Charles Romig I am an attorney by profession, having graduated from the XYZ Correspondence School where I specialized in drawing up difficult wills. I understand that, in the past years, so many of the last wills have been broken or have caused much wrangling and dissension, for this reason the Class decided to obtain the services of an expert who could draw up such a document in a way that it would remain intact through the years to come. Through the kindness of my heart I accepted this burdening duty and obligation. The Senior Class realized that it would soon cease to exist and, since it possessed many treasures that might cause conflict among those who desire to secure them, it took careful inventory and distributes them as follows : We, the Seniors of the never-to-be-forgotten Class of 1925 of Medina High School, knowing our infirmities (due to age) and scon being about to cease our existence, but in full possession of our rights minds, in fact having well-crammed minds and superhuman understanding, with a memory that was never known to fail (except during some of the terrible tests which we have been exposed to) do hereby make and publish this, our last will and testament, revoking all heretofore made. We relinquish all rights to that delightful and inspiring body of individuals called the Faculty and bequeath it to the school as a small token of our appreciation for its well-being. To that same highly respected faculty Who have imparted to us all the wisdom of these ages we grant a series of sweet and peaceful nights full of dreamless sleep. No longer now will they have reason to spend the long hours of darkness wondering whether their faithful wards are pondering over their geometry propositions, and poring over the fascinating pages of English literatui ' e, or whether they are swinging gayly to the frightful strains of jazzy music. We leave our chief advisor, Mr. Conkle, who has braved with great courage the trials and tribulations of our class, to the Class of ’26. And, to him, our beloved superintendent, we extend our sincere affections, heartiest gratitude, and our deepest reverence. As a partial payment of the debt we owe him the class gives him a first mortgage on the glittering reputations and great achieve- ments which the future has stored up for us; for during the years which we have spent in school he has taken the keenest interest in our welfare. To the Junior Class we bequeath all of our Senior dignity and uprightness in hope that it will quell their lightmindedness and irresponsibility. Also our front seats in the middle section of the auditorium and we hope that they will appreciate the kind and sympathetic glances which Mr. Conkle bestows upon us while we are assembled Twenty-Seven MEDINI AN there. To these same Juniors we will our dear class yell, with which we have often encouraged our friends and discouraged our enemies. However, we insist that it be used several times a day in order that everyone shall be thoroughly inoculated with the true spirit and patriotic inspiration of its words. As an aid to the French students of next year, we bequeath our books in which the translations are neatly and correctly written. These are the outcome of many hours of brain-racking toil and leafing through the pages of the vocabulary. With much sorrow we pass on the wonderful musical talent of that great in- strumental trio consisting of Donald Ausman, Elizabeth Fretz, and Rolland Hoff to Chester Fish, Phyllis McNeal, and “Fat” Nichols. That high rate of speed at which our three musketeers, namely Glendon Schaefer, Phillips Holmes, and Roy Kinch, hasten towards the school building in the mornings and at noon, we donate to Ted McDowell, Vernon Blanchard, and Hall Kellogg re- spectively, also Schaefer’s ability to squeeze a number six shoe on a size nine foot shall be handed down to Sherle McNeal whereas the quiet, peaceful nature of Phillips Holmes shall become the possession of John Boswell; and Kinch’s salesmanship of beans and bread goes to “Civvy” Bagley. With best wishes for the future, we bequeath the success of Ralph Wise and Jacy Kernan to Ernie Rollins and Violet Tooker, and at her request, we present Jacy’s freckles to Ellen Nichols. The never-ending line and gift of “gab,” now belonging to Margaret Watkins and Frances Bowman is hereby willed to Eleanor Freeman and Virginia Crump, also Fran’s angelic conduct in Miss Davis’ assembly to Ralph Seymour provided that he uses it every period; and Margaret’s power to take a “calling down” as a matter-of- fact to “Doc” Strong. To a small good-natured Freshman we bequeath Lilly Hoddinott’s ill temper, to- gether with one pair of slightly used “sheik” pants now being worn by Maynard Abbot. We impart to next year’s valedictorian the splendid ability of Dean Oatman, our virtuous Class president, to make such splendid speeches as his valedictory address. The lankiness of Neil Dickinson shall be divided proportionally between Rufus Kindig and Theodore Wyer; and about forty per cent of Emma Curtis’ altitude to Helen Hammett. We give the good behavior, which for four years has been held by Pearl Hoddinott, Ruth Hood, and Barbara Jakab, to Tom Munson, Tommie Haight, and Gerald Black. Myrle Porter shall receive Ruth’s gym suit; and Pearl’s ability on the typewriter and Barbara’s aptness for shorthand shall both be given to Loa Rickert. The precise aim of our two leading rabbit hunters, Tom Rowe and Glen Stoup, is alloted to Albert Fenn and John Gordon. However, we hope that these two youthful gladiators will have more mercy on the poor “bunnies” than did the former. We bequeath the popularity of Alverta Munson to Marion Bagley, the “perpetual motion” of Dorothy Bagley to La Verne Thorpe, and Violet Betz’s civics questions with answers to some poor junior who expects to follow the straight and narrow path. Merland Benedict’s Clarence Snyder’s discovery of the value of silence is as- signed to some who occasionally need to apply the motto that, “Speech is silver, but silence is golden.” We confer the fluent speech and excellent oratorical aspirations of Alline Nettleton and Opal Snyder to Katharine Root and Olive Davis. This pair with the use of this splendid gift and their natural ability should become two of the world’s foremost debaters. Wesley Barfoot’s and Roy Thomas’ habit of studying during school hours, we bequeath to “Bill” Leohr and “Shorty” Ausman, also Bruno’s general ability to Stanberry Nichols and Lefty’s job at the Princess to Howard Dailey. We will the duties of our office assistants, Nellie Short and Vivian Hatch to those who, on account of their admirable grades and standing, shall be selected as assistants by the office; and Nellie’s capability for arriving promptly at school to Maisie Tollafield, also Vivian’s basketball suit to Grace Taylor with the hope that she will participate in the game this coming season and possibly develop into one of the greatest centers in the history of the school. warn MEDINI AN Twenty-Eight We bequeath Rex Van’s and Glenn Beck’s “tricks” with a flivver to Harold Rodgers and with these valuable instructions he will soon be able to manipulate his Ford so that it will take the corners on one wheel instead of two. The privilege of using Mary Kuntz’s style of “coiffure” shall be extended to Ardis Arbogast, and the thick fluffy hair of Hilda Lance shall be set aside for Mr. Orlando Duke to be used as a crown of glory during old age. All of Leroy Perkins’ knowledge of the manufacture of ice cream is to be exposed to Robert Cain; whereas Elmer Young’s entire experience as a “soda jerker” is dealt to Jack Oatman. We make a gift of Nora Kindig’s alLwool shaker-knit, blue sweater, which has effectively withstood six years of wear, to Edwin Wack and Ellsworth Phillips, to be worn in partnership; and Beatrice Huntley’s favorite parking place on North Broad- way to anyone who, desiring an education, cares to stake out a definite claim. To Albert Abrams we leave three of Ralph Schlechty’s good erasers to be used only in removing the marks which he leaves on Miss Phillips’ desk; and we bestow upon Miss Phillips, as a gift from George Myers, seven sticks of his favorite chewing gum, one of which has been slightly used. We deal out the book reports of Faye Lance in equal parts to Myron Offineer and Mildred Pritchard; and also allot Anna Kavanaugh’s qualifications as a dressmaker to Sophia Jacot. Edna Fulton’s joy rides to and from school with her brother shall be yielded to Phyllis McNeal; and the nightly escapades of Geraldine Beedle to Emma Smith. We will Arnold Overholt’s football suit to Carroll McClure and his “musical talent” to Hall Kellogg; and Harry Eckert’s powerful grasp acquired by tossing around parcels which arrive via Electric Package to Norman Barry so that he may carry all the freight boxes without his father’s assistance. To “Jap” Dundas and Jay Lash, we apportion Velda Eastwood’s and Rosa Reider’s ability to get “E’s” in all their subjects. We bequeath all of Forrest Carleton’s and Norman Abbott’s agricultural knowledge, including that of hoeing corn and feeding chickens, to Miss Guthery and Miss Alex- ander. All of Genevieve Winters’ and Kathleen Aylard’s quietness and gentleness, we bestow unto Louis Renner and Julian Bigelow, and Genevieve’s prominence as a pianist to “Honky” Wade, also Kathleen’s violin talent to Violet Tooker. We bequeath Lawrence Bair’s r’ If 11 in juggling milk bottles to Edward Yost; and “Vic” Smith’s knack of traversing tfie distance between Root’s and the school house in 2:10 flat to Dick Warner. The pep and vim of Elizabeth Kirk and Frances Miller is conferred on Agnes Lentz and Elizabeth Amheiser. We defer all of Ernest Vance’s knowledge of football and his playing ability back to its original source when we will it to Mr. Ford Case. Ted McDowell shall be given Richard Cotner’s power and ability to throw “twisters” providing that he finds a catcher who is able to hold his “steam.” We bequeath Harriet Kulp’s and Josephine Palker’s politeness and habit of greeting everyone with a smile to Mary Armstrong and Dorothy Frederick. An elimination tournament shall be staged to discover who shall receive one pair of number eleven shoes which have grown too small for Charles Romig. If inadvertently we leave any erasers, pencils, or other scholastic equipment, we give them to whosoever can get them in the mad scramble of the vociferous under- classmen. To our successors we leave the tender memories of our pleasant associations to- gether, and also our places in the affections of our principal and teachers, for we know that they will love them even as they have loved us, and show them all the kindness and attention which they deserve. To this last will and testament We do hereby set our hands and seal on this first day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five, to be executed by our administrator. Signed, SENIORS. Twenty-Nine MEDINI AN Class Joker By Arnold Overholt The world changes, new nations come and go, great deeds are done, the world inspires, but I don’t know what this will do. The jokers in card-decks have some queer faces on them. Can that be the reason they chose me for this job? Well, to make a short story long, being early to school one morning, I was walk- ing through the hall, when Opal remarked to me, “I’m very despondent over my literary outlook.” Surprised, I replied, “Why so?” She answered, “I sent my best speech to the editor of the Annual entitled, “Why Do I Live?” and he wrote back, “Because You Didn’t Bring This in Person.” I went out to the ball diamond to watch the fellows practice. Ernie chirped at me, “Say Bovie, did you ever notice how Ruth shakes a piece of chalk with that ‘seven, come eleven’ motion?” Soon the gong rang, and we reported to home room. Fan asked me, “Bovie, can you think of a great friendship that has been made during school?” After a moment’s thought, I said, “George and Alline.” In English class, (reading Odysseus) I said, “I thought Circe was a goddess and could not be killed.” Miss Alexander answered, “She was.” Then Tood chimed in, “Oh, I see. Odysseus just scared her to death.” Next came Physics Lab. There Dick Cotner said to me, “I can’t get my hands clean. What would you suggest putting in the water besides soap?” Says I, “You might try putting your hands in.” Later Neil D. (explaining the reduction of iron), said, “First they put the iron oxide and coke into a furnace. After it is melted they run it out into the pigs.” Forest Carlton piped up, “What do the pigs do with it?” At last noon came, and I went down to cafeteria. There I heard Miss Wright say to Alverta, “What do you say to a stew?” Toodie replied indignantly, “I never speak to drunkards.” After lunch, I went up-town and there met “Lefty” Thomas, who had just returned from the city. I said to him, “What did you do in Cleveland?” He answered, “Oh, we had dates at the nursery.” When I started back to school, I met Roy Kinch and Glendon Schafer. Glen says, “What’ll we do?” Says Kinch, ‘H’ll spin a coin. If it’s heads, we go to class; if it’s tails, we’ll skip; and if it stands on edge we’ll study.” We were immediately behind Fran and Civvy, and I overhead Fran ask, “Are you growing a moustache?” He replied, “Yes, that’s something you can’t do.” In Latin, Miss Guthery asked, “What is the Latin race?” “Chuck” Romig said, “It’s a race between a Latin pony and the teacher’s goat.” Later, in Ag class, Mr. Duke said to George Myers, “How large is an acre?” George answered, “640 acres.” In History, I said, “Miss Phillips, can a person be punished for something he doesn’t know anything about?” Miss Phillip replied, “Why, no, Arnold.” Then I said, “Well, I don’t know anything about my History lesson.” A few minutes later, Miss Phillips said, “Faye, describe the theatres of Greece.” Faye said, “They were buildings built out-doors.” That evening I went to a card party. It was my deal. I said to Holmes, “What was the last card I dealt you?” Phil said, “A spade.” I declared, “I knew it. I saw you spit on your hands before you picked it up.” When the Seniors went to bid Mr. Conkle good-bye, we said, “Good-bye. We are indebted to you for all our knowledge.” Mr. Conkle slightly embarassed, answered, “Oh, don’t mention such a trifle.” MEDINI AN Thirty Simplicity, Sincerity and Service By Nellie Short As a class we have selected these three common words feeling, that if concentrated upon they would mean a great deal to us in our future lives. We are now leaving school. Some will go on into higher institutions of learning while others will take up their own particular work along other lines of endeavor. But we feel that our school life has not been in vain, and sincerely trust our future will prove even more progressive and fruitfull than has our past. If every member of the Class of ’25 bears in mind and applies to the best of his ability the three words, Simplicity, Sincerity and Service, which have very carefully been selected from long lists of mottos, our future lives surely should not be one of regret. May we live a life of unaffectedness, honesty in every action, tirelessly perform- ing our tasks for the benefit of others. We may live a very humble life or perhaps we may be noted men and women but still let us hold to our motto and ideal. And when we are gone may the people for whom and with whom we have worked and associated for many years willingly re- member and respect us for what we were. Even though we may become famous and noted for various things may we re- member that we are all human and let not wealth and glory turn our heads to only vain and selfish motives which so often occurs. May we keep the Golden Rule upper- most in our minds and help the world to realize that the principles laid down by the Sermon on the Mount were not mere theory. May we be sincere in our varied positions and do only the good and honest things that our Maker intended we should do. Let us be true and work our way up in the world only by fair play. If it is to be had let it be had by good hard honest work put forth with our best efforts. We must not think of a motive with only the result it will bring to us but we should consider what it may mean to others whom it may also concern. May we think first of the other person. Class Song By Elizabeth Fretz 1. If all we Seniors be forgot And never brought to mind, When we have gone from M. H. S. And left our fun behind. Chorus : We’ll give a cheer for high school days, One for our teachers too. In all our future works and plays We’ll still all think of you. 2. When both our colors pink and white Are faded and forgot, When roses pink have turned to brown And seniors we are not. (Tune of “Auld Lang Syne”) Thirty-One MEDINI AN Senior Class Play “Back again, Home Town ” A comedy in three acts. Scene, laid in small town of Glendale. Bob Bruce, about twenty-seven years of age, returns to Glendale, after three years of absence. He brings with him, Chic Wilton, whom he met on the train. Upon his arrival, he finds himself greeted as the town hero, because of a million dollar “scoop” credited to him. He is greatly disturbed by this, as he has only forty- seven dollars and fifty-five cents. However, by tactful planning of his friends; Peggy Warren and Chic Wilton, he is induced to sign a guaranty of fifty thousand dollars, for the Hartley Plant. The Hartley plant has asked for a fifty thousand dollar bond issue for a new water system and the issue has failed to pass, due to some underhanded politics, on the part of Judge Avery and Hugh Gorman, cashier of the local bank. The company will have to leave Glendale unless it has the assurance of the necessary funds. An election is held and by clever management on part of Lucius Opperson, a citizen and conspirator, Bob Bruce and Chic Wilton and with the assistance of Vivian Prescott and Peggy Warren, the issue passes. However obstacles are presented by Judge Avery and Shirley Avery, his niece, which momentarily seem disastrous. Annabel furnishes the humor in the play and becomes involved in an enjoyable situation — leading to the fulfillment of a long cherished desire of hers. A surprising denouement straightens out several points which have been withheld until the end. Bob Bruce Chic Wilton Lucius Opperson Hugh Gorman Judge Avery Shirley Avery ....

After the usual initiation we began our high school course. During the Freshman year we gained the name of the “Party Class” by having three parties and one hike. We also enjoyed a high school party at the I. O. 0. F. hall during this year. Everything went on as usual during the Sophomore year. We had two class parties and one High School party. We were Juniors when the great event of moving into the new building occurred. Therefore, we enjoyed the first Junior and Senior banquet held there. On account of taking extra studies all but eight of our former class will graduate this June. As there were so few of us left we held our meetings with the Junior class and elected officers with them. Although our class is very small we have contributed to athletics of all kinds and to the orchestra and band. — Mildred Pritchard.

Miss Rice was our home room teacher during the Freshman year. Before long we elected our officers, who were: Harold Hunter, president; Virginia Crump, vice-presi- dent; Velma Shook, secretary; and Irwin Strong, treasurer. The following year we elected new officers. They were: William Loehr, presi- dent; Lucille Adams, vice-president; and Beatrice Carlton, secretary and treasurer. This year we are Juniors and trying our best to produce a suitable annual. So far we have had two parties, and we know that other good times are in store for us. Our officers for this year are as follows: Robert Searles, president; Howard Dailey, vice-president; Helen Eastwood, secretary; and Olive Davis, treasurer.

We were the first class not to be initiated, although most of us felt as if we had been initiated when we entertained the assembly one Friday morning with an original program. While we were Freshmen we had two class parties and one High School party. In our Sophomore year we had a Valentine party at the home of Harold Fisher, and a Hallowe’en party at the home of Luella Gilbert. We also enjoyed two High School parties at the I. 0. O. F. hall. In our Junior year we have had one class party, one Junior-Senior party and a High School party, all of which were at the High School. During our Sophomore year we moved into the New High School Building. We had many good times in the Old building but we are very proud of our new one.

Under the guidance of Miss Rice, we passed a very pleasant year as Freshmen. Our class officers were Louise Wideman, President; Helen Clark, Vice-President; and Norene Carlton, Secretary-Treasurer. While we were Freshmen we had two class parties one being held at the Garfield Building and one High School party held at the I. O. O. F. Hall. In September, 1924 some of our class fell by the roadside while others joined us, thus having forty-four in our class. As Sophomores we re-elected Louise Wideman, President; out elected Dorothy Koons, Vice-President; and Daisy Hoddinott Secretary- Treasurer. We had a class party, a High School party, and Freshmen and Sophomoi’e party. All being held on the Gymnasnium floor of the High School building.

The larger part of the class were pupils of Medina schools but part came from other towns where they have no high school. In October we had a meeting at which the following officers were elected: Presi- dent, Tom Munson; Vice-President, Jonathan Kindig; Secretary- Treasurer, Idabelle Lackey. We have had two parties at which we had a fine time. One was in December which was the Freshmen class only and one in April at which there were two classes the Sophomore and the Freshmen. Both were on the stage of the new high school audi- torium. At the parties we played a number of games after that had refreshments then danced and played cards. In February, 1925, we were promoted from the Freshmen B class to the Freshmen A class.

After a semester of hard work in the 8A grade sixteen of us were qualified to pass on into high school. On January 26th, 1925, Superintendent Conkle came and escorted us to our new quarters in the Freshman room in the safe keeping of Mr. Kellogg. We were re- ceived very quietly — no initiation taking place. After a few days we were able to find our way about even if it did seem impossible at first. Up to date we have had no class meeting or election of officers. The only class party we have attended was for all Freshmen and Sophomore classes, held in the Gym, April 2nd. It was a party much enjoyed by all. The first part of the evening was given to games, followed by a program of music and recita- tions by various members of the classes. After this came the refreshments of ice cream and wafers. The party ended with an hour of dancing. The last Friday morning in March we helped with the program given by the Freshmen, in the assembly. The following members took part: Catherine Ulmer, piano solo; Hazel Springer, soprano solo; Chester Fish, violin solo; Thelma Simmerman, reading. Thelma Simmerman M E D INI AN Forty-Four Our Pre-Holiday High School Party One of the distinctive features which characterized the student body during the years 1924-1925 was the unique party given by the High School on the evening of December 12th. Several days before the event was scheduled, a bustle of excitement seemed to fill the air and all this combined with mysterious whispers and murmurs all around, gave us assurance that nothing but a glorious time was to be expected. And we were not disappointed. A big crowd of students from the lofty Seniors down to the fresh young Freshmen were entertained in ways to suit all. Dancing, Card playing, Stunts and various games composed the evenings entertainment. Of the many interesting stunts, the radio-stunt proved to be most exciting and mirth-provoking especial to those who were not called upon to compose the broad casting station. Each of the four competitive stations put on wonderful programs, some numbers being so original that the rest of the high school crowd felt amply repaid for the time they spent listening in. Dainty refreshments were then served to an-egar responsive crowd after which dancing completed hte evenings entertainment, John Beck, Donald Ausman, Vernon Blanchard, and Richard Warner furnishing their usual splendid music for the occasion. At 11:30 the party broke up and everyone went home with a happy feeling in his heart towards the faculty and towards each other for this, our best get-together High School party. Audrey Lance Junior-Senior Party Several months elapsed after our High School Party of December 12th, before our hopes again began to soar when the faculty announced that a party would be held at the High School building on the evening of March 27th with the Seniors and Juniors only to be their honored guests. Nearly every member of both classes responded to the invitation and at 7:30 we were being swung into such merry games and stunts that we needed no further as- surance to tell us tire party was “on.” After the games a program was carried out in which Robert Searles, Elizabeth Fretz, Maisie Tollafield, Jacy Keman, Alline Nettleton, Donald Ausman, Vernon Blanchard, Myron Offineer, Lillian Hoddinott, Beatrice Huntley, and Genevieve Winters all did themselves proud by contributing to this happy occasion something of interest and entertainment in his own special line. Following the program refreshments were served to which we all did full justtice as per usual by remaining in our places until the last “Sweetie and wafer” had dis- appeared. A jolly hour of dancing followed from 10:30 to 11:30, music being furnished by Franklin VanEpp, Myron Offineer, and Elory Davis. We are always grateful to the Faculty for whatever entertainment they see fit to give us and especially do we thank them for the evening of fun and fellowship of March 27h, 1925. Audrey Lance Freshmen and Sophomore Party One of the delightful events of the second semester was the Freshmen and Sopho- more party held in the Gym April 3, 1925. It was the first time in the history of the classes that all four groups had joined in a party. The party proved to be a great success. The first part of the evening was spent in playing games where each one could take part. We were next entertained by a program put on by various members of the Freshmen and Sophomore classes. It consisted of piano solos by Marion Bagley and Neva Caskey, a flute solo by Norene Carlton, a clarinet solo by Russell Beck, a recitation by Donna Pelton and a selection by a quartet composed of Howard Selzer, Howard King, Harold Fulton and Franklin Fish. The program was followed by dainty refreshments consisting of ice cream and wafers. The last hour was spent in dancing to the delight of all present. Mabel Fretter ACTIVITIES M E D INI AN Forty-Six Oratory and Debate Early in October a group of students met to organize a debating club. A con- stitution was drawn up and adopted, which thirty members signed. The purpose of the club was to promote interest in the study of public questions, and to develop excellence in practical debating. Robert Searles was elected president, Alline Nettleton vice- president, and Kathleen Ziegler, secretary. Two husky young gentlemen in the persons of Norman Abbott and George Sponseller were made sergeants-at-arms. The following members of the faculty were elected to honorary membership: Mr. Conkle, Mr. Kellogg, Mr. Bauer, Miss Drew, and Miss Guthery. Meetings were held every two weeks. The programs consisted of readings, talks by outside speakers, and debates by members of the club. F orty-Seven MEDINIAN Music Notes By Grace Marie Fisk Work was carried on during the first semester by the members of the Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Clubs under the supervision and direction of John Beck, who made it possible to produce a Comic Opera, “Captain of Plymouth.” It was not in any way simple, and only with his careful and unique management and direction was it possible to produce it. This, as everyone realizes, was a great responsibility on his part. This is the first music drama of its kind produced in Medina in several years. Some of the most important characters were, including both high school and local talent: John Alden — Fred Bohley; Priscilla — Mrs. P. C. Bigelow; Katonka (Indian Princess) — Florence Thatcher; Miles Standish — Louis Best; Erasmus — Phillips Holmes; Richard — Dean Oatman; Watowamat — Duvale Stoaks; Mercy — Margaret Watkins; Charity — Alline Nettleton; Patience — Virginia Crump; and the Puritan Maidens and the Lads of the “Colony.” The lighting and stage settings were under the direction of Ford Case and his assistants, Glen Miller and Glen Beck. The music played no small part in the production of this comic opera, and it was produced by a ten-piece orchestra which was also under the direction of John Beck. The players were: Audrey Sedgwick, piano; Donald Ausman, Violin; Harry Lincoln, clarinet; Stowe White, bass viol; Ralph Wise, oboe; Elizabeth Fretz, cello; Glen Frye, trombone; Norene Carlton, flute; Rolland Hoff, cornet; and Richard Warner, bells and drums. Recitals were given during the year by Donald Ausman, violin; Katharine Hem- meter, soprano; Medina Trio: Florence Sipher, violin, Harry Lincoln, cello, and Audrey Sedgwick, piano; and Grace Marie Fisk, piano. An interesting talk on the life of Shubert, together with the rendition of several of his compositions, was given by Mr. Beck. He also played a composition of his own pi-oduction in which he used “Sweet Bye and By” for the foundation. On Tuesday evening, March 31, 1925, the citizens of Medina and surrounding territory attended the “Medina Music Revue.” This was the first music revue ever given in Medina, and proved to be a very successful one. The program follows: Medina Orchestra 1. Parade of the Wooden Soldiers. 2. Selections from “Lollipop.” Robert Searles. 1. Less Than the Dust. 2. ’Till I Wake.

Forty-Nine MEDINI AN MEDINI AN Fifty Firty-Onc MEDINI AN Manual Training Department Since moving into the New 1 High School this department has developed very rapidly. In the old school building the equipment was very inadequate. But with the new building came increased equipment. At present it consists of three lathes, one band saw, one buzz saw with which is combined a square drill, ten benches and numerous small equipment. At present there are about twenty-nine boys taking bench work. Twelve taking lathe, and about twelve Eighth Grade puipls once a week for about two hours. This department has not only filled its office of teaching the use of wood-working tools, but with its able instructor, Ford L. Case, it has turned out many useful articles of commercial value. The main articles made by bench workers consist of hall trees, foot stools, morris chairs, radio cabinets, checker boards, and numerous small articles. At present mortise and tenon joints can be made easily with the use of the band saw and square drill, while in the past these joints had to be made by hand with a chisel, a very tedious and inaccurate way. Lathe students have made many useful articles, among which we find: candle sticks, table lamps, bridge lamps, floor lamps, and jewel boxes. Ralph Wise Home Economics Medina High School has in its curriculum two main branches of Home Economics, Sewing and Cooking. The number of girls taking sewing this year is 63. The girls receive instruction in cutting and making clothing, in choosing and testing textile fabrics and in the use and care of sewing machines. A knowledge of textiles is received so that, materials and furnishings used in the household may be purchased intelligently. This study aids the pupils in learning the different processes of manufacture, the properties and the laws governing the adultera- tion and fradululent labeling of material. In the present day of high prices, it is essential, that girls, who sooner or later assume the responsibilities of the home, should make a study of textiles and clothing. The pupils have also found it very helpful and interesting to make garments, that are useful for the other members of the family. Josephine Palker Cooking is not only an interesting study but one that is very helpful for the average girl. The cost and nutritive value as well as the preparation and serving are considered. Considerations regarding success in learning to cook may be summed up as follows: (a) Know what foods to select from the standpoint of economy, nutriment, and flavor. (b) Observe and think when working. Relate or associate one class cf foods with another and one principle of cooking with another. (c) Note the results of your work; know why the results are successful or why they are unsuccessful. Food selection, Food combination, and food preparation are all important factors of good cooking. It is to be hoped that the pupil will realize that the study of food and cooking means the ability not only to boil, broil, and bake but to select combine, use and serve food properly. All this demands much earnest thought and effort. The cooking class for the year of 1924-25 consists of twelve members all of whom have learned a great deal by taking it as part of their school work. During the winter months Cafeteria service was provided for an average of 50 persons daily. The following took part in this work: Velda Eastwood, Elizabeth Kii’k, Frances Miller, Josephine Palker. The length of time in serving was ten weeks and the number p er day was from 25 to 60 persons. Frances Miller MEDINI AN Fifty-Two Vocational Agriculture The aim of Vocational Agriculture isrto prepare the boy of high school age for the occupation of farming and to develop in him the characteristics of a good citizen and farmer. A four-year high school course is offered in agriculture. One agriculture subject is offered each year, with the exception of the second year when farm shop is offered. The follo.wing shows the prescribed curriculm for agriculture students : Freshmen — Farm Crops, Algebra, Biology, English. Sophomore — Animal Husbandry, Farm Shop, Geometry, English. Junior — Farm Engineering, Dairying, Chemistry, Economics English. Senior — Farm Management, Physics, Am. History V 2 , Civics V 2 , Elective. All the boys have a home project. Each boy raises some crop or live stock. In this way we can apply in practice what we learn in school. The department had a change of instructors at the end of the year 1924. H. F. Barnes resigned and O. C. Duke, graduate of Ohio State University, took his place. This year the department started with an enrollment of 24 boys. At the begining of the second semester there were 21 boys. In Farm Shop we are taught to make useful things for the farm. Our work consists of wood work, harness repair, soldering, care and repair of tools and many other practices needed on the farm. The Farm Crops class helped many farmers by testing over 3,000 ears of corn this year for seed. Last August Mr. Barnes took us to the Ohio State Fair. A judg- ing team composed of several of the boys, competed with other agriculture depart- ments of Ohio. Geo. Gable won one of the prizes offered in the ring of beef cattle. Another such trip with a judging team is planned this year. Our dept, gave a pro- gram at the Poe Grange March 8, consisting of music, readings and demonstrations relative to our school work. George Gable Fifty-Three MEDINI AN Chemistry Laboratory Biological Laboratory MEDINI AN Fifty-Four Foreign Language Medina High School has foreign languages very well represented in her curri- culum for there we find Latin, French and Spanish. Latin seems to be the most popular despite the tradition that it is the most difficult. There are fifty-six delving in it. At present we are teaching beginning Latin, Caesar and Vergil. During the first semester there was a class in Cicero. So we can say that this year the course of study included four years of Latin. Spanish follows next in the number enrolled, namely, thirty- eight. They are all studying first year Spanish since this is the first it has been given for several years. In French there are both a beginning and second year class which are comprised of thirty-one students. In all, this means that our foreign language department helps to keep one hundred and twenty-five pupils busy. This shows that more than one-third of the student body are studying some language. Carrying statistics farther we find that this subject com- poses one-tenth of the total subject matter of our High School, of which we can well be proud. History One of the most interesting departments in the high school is the history depart- ment which is taught by Miss Phillips. There are one hundred and forty-nine students taking work in this department. This number is two-thirds of the upper three classes. The different courses available to students are: Ancient, Modern European and American History, and Civics. The last two are required subjects but pupils are al- lowed to choose between the first two. To add interest to the course and in order to keep up with the times, current events are discussed at regular intervals. The course in ancient history is accom- panied by work on the architectural, sculptural, and artistical masterpieces of the world. Students are required to look up and learn certain facts concerning each one. Civics is an important part of the course in history because it gives the student a clear idea of the working of our government and makes him a better citizen. History is important because a person who knows something of past events can more readily understand current happenings. The interest of history lies in the fact that it is a living subject, for history is being made every day. Olive Davis English Department Perhaps speech places one in the category of the educated or the uneducated more readily than anything else. Therefore, the High School curriculum in English is planned so as to meet the requirements of all possible phases of every day life. During the Freshman year, fundamental principles of English are taught and well-known Classics studied, including tales of adventure and poems of the story-tell- ing class. With the Sophomore year, come theme and letter- writing, and such, practical things as telegrams and advertising. Some of Shakespeare’s plays and one of George Eliot’s works are discussed. The Junior year is spent with English authors, from the time of the oldest epic, “Beowulf,” to the twentieth century writers. The supplementary work deals with the production of the authors in the text book. Senior English, which is elective, considers American poets, historians, biograp- hers and novelists. For reference, their works are studied by the students. So it is felt that the English curriculum of Medina High School adequately covers the demands in preparation for the ways of life that the students may follow after graduation. Eva Shaw Fifty-Five MEDINIAN Shorthand and Typewriting The Gregg system of Shorthand, which is used in more than seventy-nine per cent of the cities whose high schools teach shorthand, is 1 taught in Medina High School. It is easy to learn and is one of the best systems known. The two-years course offered at Medina High School includes all the fundamental principles of Shorthand, speed studies, and actual practice in court work, business let- ters and legal articles. The position of the Type Room adjacent to the Shorthand Room is very advantage- ous as the class may easily pass from one room to the other to transcribe their notes without disturbing anyone else. In this way they can be constantly under the observation of the teacher. In Typewriting, the touch system is employed. The beginners have simple finger exercises but as they become more skilled, they are advanced to telegrams, short articles, and business letters (which they must properly paragraph). The advanced pupils have tabulating work and some legal articles. Some of the advanced pupils do the office work, and are occasionally sent out to do typing for some of the business men when circumstances demand. The office work has been greatly facilitated this year by the addition of a mimeoscope and a duplicator. The mimeograph, also, is of great help in printing programs, schedules, and forms of various kinds. The duplicator will print only about fifty copies of the “Master,” while the mimeograph will print from five hundred to fifteen hundred. The mimeoscope is of great assistance in making drawings, cuts, etc. In the Typewriting Department, there are fourteen machines, nine Underwoods- and five Remingtons. There are nine girls who have finished the two-years course in Typewriting and Shorthand. They are: Violet Betz, Emma Curtis, Vivian Hatch, Barbara Jakab, Mary Kuntz, Hilda Lance, Josephine Palker, Rosa Rieder, and Nellie Short. Barbara Jakab is taking an advanced course in Bookkeeping, at the Oberlin Business College. Hilda Lance expects to enter there for a Secretarial Train- ing Course this fall.

H. S. starting the 1924 season with only four regulars of the preceding suc- cessful campaign was in rather a bad way for a successful year. The regulars back were Barfoot, end; Captain Vance, tackle; Overholt, tackle; and Beck, guard — all sturdy huskies with plenty of real experience. Camp at Kelley’s Island The first training camp ever held by our M. H. S. squad was conducted at Kelley’s Island, about an hour’s ride from Sandusky, Ohio. Fifteen warriors took advantage of the preliminary training, which was held the two weeks just preceding the opening of school. More good material was found from the likely looking campers, namely — Blanchard, center; Ausman, who later developed into a fine end; Miller, guard; and Bagley, a hard-hitting line plunging back, who had shown well the year before. The camp proved an all-around success, as conditions were excellent for swimming, hiking, fishing, and the teaching of the fundamentals of football. The Games The Akron South game proved a disaster, but the boys gave the Akronites plenty of opposition, although the score appears rather lopsided. The West Commerce set-to was a close game and of the cleanest ever played at the local field. Captain Vance was the bulwark on defense, crashing through repeatedly and throwing the Commerce backs for heavy losses. Shaker Heights at Cleveland was a little too one-sided. Plunging and passing spelled defeat for the locals. Bagley and Dundas were deserving of much credit in this game. Bagley made continued big gain for a fifty yard march and touchdown. Dundas intercepted a Shaker pass and ran for a touchdown. With Thomas, Bagley, and Blanchard ineligible for the battle with St. Vincents, the game resulted in a tie. Coach Case was able to get Barry and Perkins into the line-up for the New Philadelphia game, and although apparently strengthened, M. H. S. was defeated. The splendid fight of the team was unbeatable for the remainder of the season. Wadsworth was met on the local gridiron and home lads made monkeys out of their ancient rivals. LaGrange was easily beaten. Wellington was trounced. Canal Fulton was smothered. The big game with Struthers High of Youngstown here on Thanksgiving day was an event wortTTy of special mention. Two weeks previous to the Medina game, Strut- hers subdued the crack Rayen eleven on their own field, hitherto unbeaten for two years. So, the M. H. S. eleven, achieved real success, when they ran down the curtain after the Struthers game — victorious. The high point men of the season were Barfoot, with forty-two, and Barry with twenty-six. The following received letters: Captain Vance, Captain-elect Blanchard, Ausman, Overholt, Beck, Miller, Perkins, Stoup, Barfoot, Bagley, and Barry. Fifty-Nine MEDINIAN Captain Vance — Fullback — Weight: 167 “Ernie Farmer” Vance and outstanding footballer de luxe, we hate to see you go. You have been a regular for four years. The team has lost only thirteen games since you have been in school. Barry — Left Half — Weight: 152 A clever runner, line plunger, can throw and catch passes. Ran the kick-off back 70 yards in the Struthers game. Twisted off tackle for the touchdown that won the game. Yes, they call him “Twist.” Barfoot — Quarter — Weight: 165 “Bruno” punts, place kicks, drop kicks, runs the ends, plunges a little harder than anyone else, throws passes left handed and receives when necessary, and tackles with a fierceness that makes the ground quake. Proved himself a real field general and played fullback on defense. Beck — Left Guard — Weight: 154 Playing his fourth year of football — one of the best linesmen ever developed in M. H. S. Played center on defense. He made his presence felt. Overholt — Left Tackle — Weight: 163 “Bovie” a regular old bear cat. They never stopped him. Could take the whole side of the line out alone, if necessary. Never knocked out — never got enough. Played left tackle two years. Ausman — Left End — Weight: 148 “Ikey” developed into a very good end. He was very expert at receiving passes. He paved the way for our only touchdown by catching a pass in the Struther’s game. Perkins — Right Tackle — Weight: 210 The oldwar horse — original. Playing his first year of Varsity ball. Guard on defense, and tackle on offense — a veritable stonewall. “Perk” learned quickly and had the old Medina fight — too bad that you are graduating. Stoup — Right End — Weight: 154 A fast and aggressive player — could snare passes with any of them. Caught the pass in the Struther’s game for extra point after touchdown. Played his best game against Struther’s. Captain-Elect Blanchard — Center — Weight: 139 An artist on spiral passes. “Herb” is a hard worker — never gives up. Tells his opponents about the game. Breaks a few bus windows dui’ing a season. He will make a good leader. Miller — Right Guard — Weight : 155 Miller proved himself a very capable player, either at guard or at end. A sure tackier and a good fighter. Bagley — Right Half — Weight: 150 “Ciwie” for short — anointed into full membership in the old shack at Kelley’s Island. Very respectful to his superiors, especially when meeting them late at night. Played consistently all season. A good man in interference and an excellent line plunger.

Letter Men Yost Forward Barry Forward Miller Forward Huffman Forward Dailey Forward Wade Center Romig Center Stoup Center and Guard Barfoot Guard Carter Guard The Games M. H. S. started the season by losing to Hinckley. The visitors came over with a veteran team and nosed out the local lads, although M. H. S. •showed good team work — our shooting was poor and our defense rather ragged. Our boys downed the big Wilcox team from Cleveland in a thrilling contest, which ended at 16 all, only to spur the home lads on to win in the overtime period 20-18. Wellington conducted a passing game which the locals were unable to break up until late in the game — M. H. S. losing 24-18. The Seville embroglio at Seville was a joke. After playing on a larger floor, the locals could not compete with Eby and Co., on the small arena. M. H. S. lost two hard fought games to Spencer 21-14 at Medina and 17-6 at Spencer — the scores do not tell the time story of the games. The inability of M. H. S. to hit the hoop consistently lost many games. The defense of the locals was always strong and with a reasonable amount of basketball shooting would have won many more games. Seville was played off her feet at Medina. The first half ended 16-2. Seville only got going just before the game ended 24-9. ■ .... . . .. . vrrr tr i irn f r i t Trrr-TrTT T Hrn i ht ' th i t r r r tt-tt tt - tt tt t t tttt th i ih i tftt T n r tttt ini tt- m tt t t— tt ' tt t-tt Tr’T Trr f rrrr MEDINI AN Sixty-Two Wadsworth proved too much for the locals in both games and romped home handily in both contests. M. H. S. held the strong Barberton combination to 20 points, but had one of her off nights and was able to gain only 8 points on her own behalf. West C ommerce of Cleveland did not find M. H. S. such ‘‘.Duck Soup” as they supposed, and had a hard time nosing out the locals 23-20. The home tossers trounced the massive Sharon basketeers 29-17 at Sharon. Barfoot was the shining light in this encounter. LeRoy was beaten twice by M. H. S. — the locals playing a strong game as the season closed. Yost — Left Forward Good at getting the tip-off. In some games he scored high, and in some not at all. He has two more years and looks as if he will develop into a very good forward. Barry — Right Forward “Twist” showed his staff in the Seville game at Medina. A danger- ous shot from the center of the floor up to the basket. Stoup — Center and Guard A fast man, fair shot, and a bear on defense. Really a bask guard, but did well at running guard and center. Capt. Barfoot — Right Guard Saved M. H. S. many embarrassing situations. Scored fourteen points against Sharon. Captained the team in real fashion, and always kept fighting hard. Carter — Left Guard A good all round guard. Showed better as the season advanced. Scored in many games. Harvey has three more years of high school basketball. Wade — Center “Honky” a good jumping center, crafty passer, and a good shot. Won the Wilcox game for M. H. S. Wade is a Sophomore. Romig — Center Good shot from center on in. “Chuck” is strong on defense. Too bad he graduates. Huffman — Right Forward An excellent dribbler, short shot, and when right could shoot from any place on the floor. He was ineligible at the end of the first semester and his loss was felt keenly. Dailey — Left Forward Played a versatile game at forward. He was a promising player until ordered to quit the game by his physician. Miller — Right Forward Excellent at short heaves. Glenn played in most of the games. He was strong in getting the tip-off. Sixty-Three MEDINIAN Girls Basketball — 1925 The girls’ basketball team of Medina High School has made a very good showing in spite of the fact that this is the first time in several years in which Medina High has participated. The gymnasium has greatly enabled us to play basketball, and will for some time to come. The players were all inexperienced with two exceptions, Curtis and Hatch. Nevertheless, they are all to be congratulated on their good work and the efforts which they put forth. In the preliminary game between the Freshmen A and Freshmen B girls, the Freshmen B’s won by a score of 14-1. The B’s played a splendid game displaying excellent teamwork. January 9, the Varsity girls in their first appearance of the season, with the Alumnae as opposition, made a good showing, when they defeated the latter by a score of 14-1. The Home girls won their second game of the season when they played the strong Hinckley team. Their team was a veteran one, but nevertheless, our girls won with a score of 8-4, Carter making four of the eight points scored. Smith also scored high. Curtis played her usually excellent game. January 23, the girls went to Seville and there met with defeat, the score being 8-1. At Spencer, January 30, the team again met its fate when it clashed with the former’s team, but the score of 6-5 was not a bad showing for the Medina girls. February 14, the girls team of Seville came here and for the second time piled up a large score, defeating our girls 16-5. The Medina High girls again defeated the Alumnae 5-3 on February 18. This victory did much to encourage them. The following game with Sharon resulted in a serious defeat for our girls the score being 17-5. February 27, Wadsworth came here and although the Home girls put forth every effort possible they were not able to take the laurels from their opponents and were defeated 21-7. The second game with Spencer on March 6 was not a victory for the Medina High School girls but they displayed much improvement in team work. The score was 9-6. The next game was played at York. The home girls were defeated by only one point the score being 5-4. When the Leroy girls came to Medina the Home girls were ready to defeat them with a score of 15-14. The next to the last game of the season, March 20, found the girls at Wadsworth. The Home team played well but were defeated 14-6, Carter making all six points. The last game on March. 27, took us to Leroy where, on their own floor the Leroy High School girls were able to win by a score of 12-6. Miss Alexander, the girls Coach, has done splendid work in getting the Girls’ basketball team organized. Another year with more experience on the part of the players we are looking forward to a more successful season. Velma Shook M E D I N I A N Sixty-Four Baseball — 1925 Club Roster Pitchers : Barfoot, McDowell, Cotner. Catchers: Yost, Blanchard, Hange. First Base: Wade, Leohr, Mettie. Second Base: Dickinson, Dailey. Short Stop : Strong, Buchanan. Third Base : Dundas, Close. Left Field : Rowe, Chase. Center Field: Kellogg, Carter. Right Field: Vance, Ausman, Miller, Guilder. Starting the season with three letter men, namely — Barfoot, pitcher ; Rowe, left fielder; and Dundas, third baseman; Coach Case had quite a proposition on his hands to maintain the high standard of baseball that old M. H. S. has been supporting the past few years. The large group of recruits looked promising and most of the boys took readily to the game as taught by Coach Case. Leroy Game Medina High and Leroy played a nip and tuck affair at the old high school grounds, in the first baseball game of the season Tuesday. A fairly large and enthusiastic crowd stood on the side lines through the long and tedious contest — in fact the game was not called until after 7 o’clock. Winters, the Leroy pitcher, pitched a fine game for the visitors, but due to the lack of support at crucial moments and a tendency to be a bit wild in the early stanzas — he might have won himself a ball game. Jack- son and Ralph Arnold swung mighty clubs for Leroy while Rowe carried the mightiest bludgeon to the plate for Medina — all three of the afore- mentioned warriors collecting themselves three hits apiece. Errors were numerous on both sides. Medina contributed to Leroy’s unhoDed-for success in the ninth inning by throwing, muffing, and kicking the fighting little thing all over the lot — Leroy counted six times in the ninth. Leroy then got generous and allowed the home boys to tie the score by striking three times and then the catcher would drop the ball and throw toward first base. The home boys got three runs and tied the score. Then umpires Anderson and Warner told the boys to go on home and read their books, as it was getting too dark to play, and that both teams needed further instruction anyhow. LEROY HIGH, 12 AB. R. H.

Uses Brush After playing indifferent ball against Leroy the team came right back and pitted against Wooster at Legion Field showed to the local populace in particular and the world in general that they could play the old game the way it should be played. Strong played brilliantly at short on the defense. The game was called in the last of the fifth on account of rain. Following is the box score : WOOSTER, 0 AB. R. H. MEDINA, 2 AB. R. H.

Interest has been revived again this year in this branch of sport in the hope of placing Medina high school permanently in the position that she should hold with her rivals in this section of the state. Both boys’ and girls’ teams were organized and entered in the County Meet and at the time this article went to press, everybody was awaiting with anxiety the showing of the teams with respect to the advisability of entering the local teams in the Northeastern District Track and Field Meet to be held at Lakewood Field May 15. 1925. A new one-eighth mile oval has been laid out behind the new school building and the boys are setting some promis- ing marks.

Sixty-Seven MEDINI AN Interclass Sports Intel- class football and basketball reached a plane hitherto unknown in the pro- gram of athletics at M. H. S. Much interest has been taken in interclass activities and keen competition has been the result. A wholesome attitude has been maintained through- out and much mental as well as physicial good has been the result. Fifty boys out- side the varsity participated in interclass football, while forty-eight played on the eight class basketball teams including members of the varsity.

In April, 1845, a little group of far-sighted men met and organ- ized for mutual protection a life insurance company. Little did they dream that the baby would grow to be the Giant Institution the world now knows as the New York Life, with millions of policy- holders and beneficiaries in the long, long years, living and dead, and billions of money devoted through eight decades to relieve dis- tracted families and stricken business hopes, and build up the re- sources of our country in many avenues of industry. It’s a story, like a novel, that thrills the imagination, and makes the blood run faster. This Giant Institution stands today, after 80 years of storm and stress, a towering monument to the wisdom and enterprise of the founders, and the constructive talents of those who came after them. The Knickerbocker Press, Albany, N. Y., under issue of February 10, 1925, has this to say of the New York Life: “Tlie New York Life is the largest Life Company in the world which does ordinary business only, excluding industrial. Its officers and directors include men of the highest standing in insurance and finance. Its new business in 1924 was over over seven hundred and forty million dollars and its pay- ments to and on account of policy-holders over one hundred and sixty-nine millions.” The New York Life at present date protects 1,9000,000 families. We offer you the wonderful service of our many contracts, liberal interpretation of disability clause, large dividends ' and low net cost. L. H.

Medina County National Bank UNUSUAL OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED AT THE OBERLIN BUSINESS COLLEGE The great place which The Oberlin Business College has come to occupy is of interest to the members of our present senior class and especially to those intending to enter a business college. A business education is absolutely necessary to those who wish to center upon a business career, while those who go to college and later to pro- fessional school are greatly handicapped without a knowledge of business affairs. It would pay every high school graduate to spend a year in a first class business college before entering college or professional school. A young man graduated from high school, spent a year in The Oberlin Busin ess College, four years in college, took two years post graduate work in Columbus Uni- versity and then a course in the New York Bureau of Municipal Efficiency. He is now Director of Municipal Efficiency in one of the large cities of this country draw- ing a large salary. He says his year in the Oberlin Business College has been of ines- timable value to him. The Oberlin Business College stands at the head of business training school. It is the only business college in Ohio in which graduation from high school or its equiv- alent is its entrance requirement. High school graduates can accomplish vastly more in a school offering advanced courses suited to their needs than in business schools many of whose students have had little or no high school training. It was the first business college to be placed upon the Accredited List of Ohio Colleges by the State Department of Public Instruction. Graduates of its two years Teachers’ Course receive state certificates. It is also a member of the National Association of Accred- ited Schools.
