MEDINIAN Class History Of ’26 Shakespeare once said “To he or not to he” and no douht that was the question that ran through the mind of our dear Miss Ella when she was wondering what could he made from that raw material that was brought into the Kindergarten hy fond mammas on that September morn 1914. Thus started our school career. After two years we were quite proud to enter the third, or highest grade in the Primary Building, where Mrs. Wright so efficiently started us and pointed out to us the subjects which we were to encounter through our school course! Year followed year until finally the great day came when we reached 8A and where Miss Wheatly labored so diligently to prepare us for our entrance into High School. With quaking hearts and shaking knees we ascended the steps of old M. H. S. that fall morning of 1922, wondering what grueling tests the Seniors would put us through. We withstood the ordeal nobly and were soon welcomed by the Seniors to the ranks of M. H. S. after they had learned of our unusual wit and brilliancy. It was with great disappointment that we were denied the pleasure of initiating the new Freshmen that came into our midst. Our Sophomore year ran along very smoothly and we were looked upon with respect by the faculty as well as the Seniors. Days slipped by rapidly until we entered our Junior year, which proved more eventful than the preceding ones. We assisted in the long looked for event of mov- ing into the new High School building which stands on the very spot where the old Primary Building stood. We edited one of the best High School Annuals ever put out — “The Medinian” — which was filled from cover to cover with articles of Historical and Literary merit. Another activity for the year was our first Junior-Senior banquet. In the fall of 1925 we took up our duties as Seniors. We were very proud indeed to be the sponsors of such a fine Lecture Course. Another activity which contributed to the entertainment of the community was our class play “Backbone”, which showed that we even possessed some dramatic talent. Among our social activities were “A Nationality Party” and several High School parties and we are looking forward to the Junior-Senior banquet. In the four years which we have been in High School, we have contributed to Athletics, Debate and Music as well as to our Friday morning Assembly programs. We appreciated the readiness with which the faculty have given their efforts to send us on our way to higher learning and the better things of life and it is with reluctance and sorrow that we leave them and old M.
