MEDINIAN Class Will Howard Dailey The Senior Class has chosen for an attorney to write their will a very able-bodied (not minded) classmate (?). The Seniors of ' 26 will soon become Alumni long to be remembered. Many of these Seniors have traits, talents, and treasures, which they say they wish to give to some of their beloved under-classmen. First of all, we bequeath to our faculty all the things we have forgotten. We al- so bestow upon our advisers a portion of their salary in advance for the purpose of buying new alarm clocks with the hope that they establish an early hour for retiring unless the evening is being used for study. With the best of wishes we bequeath Ted McDowell’s slow motion to Harve Kraver. We are proud that none will be able to compare with our distinguished musicians Herb” Blanchard and “Dick” Warner. We bequeath Emma Bennett’s and Mabel Leavitt’s friendship to any two cap- able young freshmen. We perhaps can not find a couple to fill Hall Kellogg’s and Helen Hammett’s case, but the closest we have been able to come to this pair are “Chick” Fulton and Phyllis McNeal — may their friendship never waver. The ability of Donald Bagley as a grocery manager, we impart to Tommy Haight. Fern Selzer wishes to bequeath her good will, grace and scholastic equipment to whomsoever can get them in the mad scramble of the vociferous under-classmen. We wish to bestow the good behavior of Juanita Davis, Helen Eastwood and Ag- nes Lentz upon “Bob” Flammer, “Brother” Kern and Tommy Munson. Henry Crisick wishes to notify the pupils of M. H. S. that he leaves nothing and takes nothing; he leaves this will so there will be no argument as to shares. Donald Chase takes pleasure in bestowing upon Frank Mettie his limitless knowl- edge and astounding information that he has furnished at various times in his examina- tion papers. George Gable wishes to leave one pure-bred Holstein cow to Daisy Hoddinott. We bestow Loa Rickert’s habit of showing everyone a good time to Stanberry Nichols. Eleanor Freeman wishes to leave Lois Kiefer her nice quiet manner and her “gift of gab” to Carl Roth. We certainly pity Carl. Olive Davis gives one pair of number nine shoes to any freshman that can wear them. We hate to be relieved of “Doc” Strong’s combined “horse laugh” and “girl’s giggle but he must get rid of it so we have decided to give it to Jay Lash. Twenty-Seven

MEDINIAN and none other than Hazel Effinger, clad in overalls, painting her own sign. She was having the time of her life with her little Art Shop and doing well. Walking on, I met Howard Dailey. In the course of our conversation I learned that he had bought out B. F. Keith’s and then had charge of all the theatres. He had also employed Loa Rickert as his private secretary. I decided to return to my old home town of Medina which was now the largest suburb of Cleveland with the exception of Chippewa Lake. I bought a Medina County Gazette and noticed an article headed “Household Management by Mildred Siders. She wrote two articles a week and also answered any questions related to her department. Moving down the main street I met Frank Mabry who was a sign painter. Dorothy Frederick, I learned, was his private secretary. He told me Henry Crisick was an undertaker. This did not surprise me much as Henry followed this line of business while in high school. It was noon so I dropped into Yaekle’s restaurant for dinner. Florence had worked up a very good business, and had converted the prosaic restaurant into an attractive tea room. She informed me that Eva Shaw and Velma Shook were lead ' ers in the 4 H Club and were doing wonderful work in Northern Ohio. It was now time for me to return home. I had found what all the Class of ’26 were doing, except two boys and three girls. When I arrived home I tuned in on my radio to W. R. C. of Washington which was giving the most important events that had taken place in Washington during the past week. (1) Maisie Tollafield head of English Parliament was to debate against Olive Davis speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives of the United States on the long discussed subject of prohibition. (2) William Leohr, President of the United States, has appointed Henry Mabry as Secre- tary of Agriculture. Mabry was formerly the largest dairy farmer in the State of Ohio and for the past two years had been editor of the “Ohio Farmer”; therefore he was capable of handling the position. Then I turned my dial to W. E. A. F. of New York; here they broadcasted that Beatrice Carlton, who had been in France studying music, had returned to New York and was going to open a Fifth Avenue Conservatory of Music. I kept turning the dial “fishing” all the time, when suddenly I heard something about fried chicken, escalloped potatoes. That sounded good to me so I listened in until I heard the entire menu for the next day, and then to my surprise I learned that the author of said menu was none other than Juanita Davis. At last I had heard of the entire Class of ’26. Twenty-Six

To some poor freshman we bepueath “Ruthie” Dalzell’s noble character.

We bequeath Florence Johnson’s ability as an actress to Norman Barry or Wayne Root; this may be decided between the two receivers. Henry Mabry’s ability at spraying fruit trees with Mr. Duke’s invention, we will to Ralph Eaken. Velma Shook bestows her nickname the same being “Shrimp” to any lower class ' man to whom it may be properly affixed. We are glad as a Class to relieve Dorothy Frederick of her ability as a booster for her class and also as a booster for Medina ' Wooster ' Cleveland Bus Line. We are glad to give to George Sponseller one ' half of William Leohr’s fastidious ' ness. We wish to relieve Robert Searles of his ability of breaking girls’ hearts by his heart- rending musical vibrations. This we will to Amos Ruch.

We wish to announce that if any of these clothes are desired by anyone else they will have to wait until the next Clearance Sale.
