-- The MEDINIAN Class History By Letha Ritter One bright sunny morning in the fall of 1918, twenty-seven eager-faced lads and lassies sat around the brown tables in the kindergarten of the old Lincoln build- ing. We were greeted by our dear friend, Miss Ella Canavan. We were safely guided through our first years and spent many happy days with our teachers in the Lincoln Building. It was with regret that we left them to begin our work in the Garfield building, Miss Tubbs being our first teacher. Under her skillful guidance, we were soon busy in the work of the third grade. The years passed by all too swiftly and ere we realized it we were sent to the High School to become eighth grade pupils of Miss Wheatley. While in the eighth grade we had our first class party. Imagine our delight when Miss Wheatley promoted us to the 9B grade. At last, we had climbed to what seemed to us the ladder of suc- cess; we were about to enter the land of fame — High School. After a few words of advice we bade our dear friend and teacher, Miss Wheatley, farewell and moved to Room 117. Here we met eighteen new students from out of town schools, making in all fifty- one Freshmen. With “fear and trembling” we went about our duties that first day. Mr. Fenn faithfully endured our faults and watched over us this first year. At the beginning of the second year fifty-three gay young Sophomores moved to Room 227 under the guiding hand of Miss Houston. In September “28” we assumed the responsibilities of Juniors. Mr. Kellogg now took charge of us and helped us over one of the roughest spots in our school; editing a successful Annual. We also entertained the Seniors, at the Junior-Senior Banquet which was a very successful affair. The wheels of time rolled around and we, last fall, became dignified Seniors. We entered Room 229 again under the guiding hand of our dear friends. Miss Houston. During the first term we were saddened by her death. Miss Allen was then given the honor of being Senior Home Room teacher. The Senior year without a doubt is the shortest year of all. The Class of “30” is especially glad that we have a Superintendent that has been “One of Us,” always entering with enthusiasm in whatever the class has undertaken. Members of our class have taken part in Athletics, Debate, Music and Friday morning assembly programs. We also presented a very successful lecture course and class play, “Nobody but Nancy.” And it is with sad hearts that we end our High School days, and go forth into the world. We depart from Medina High with the hope that the future history of our class may be one that will be filled with records of future happy days and worth-while accomplishments. Seventeen
