THE MEDINIAN Class History By Robert Rowe Our history starts in the fall of 1919. It was then that the “charter members” of our class, twenty-two in number, started their schooling under the guidance of “Miss Ella” Canavan. For three years we studied and played in the old Lincoln building, which stood where our high school building now stands. We were then advanced to the Garfield building. Here we continued to absorb knowledge for four more years. We gained not only in learning during this time but also in numbers. At the end of the eighth grade, our role of members had swelled to forty-nine. There is one regret we must voice for these early years of our schooling. We had neither Mrs. Wright nor Miss Wheatly to teach us. We missed them both by only a semester. It was a great loss to us to have missed the fine guidance which these two teachers have given to so many Medina pupils. We entered high school in 1927. Our class now numbered sixty-six. Our junior year was saddened by the untimely death of our friend and teacher, Beatrice Houston. In losing her we lost not only an excellent but a loyal friend to everyone who was fortunate enough to have known her. As we became seniors we became more serious. We began to realize that the time was approaching when we must strike out for ourselves. In graduating we must part. But in parting, the history of our class is only beginning. We are facing a new world, a world governed by science in which great things are to be done, and we intend to have a part in them. Commencement Week Sunday, May 31, 8 P. M., Baccalaureate Service.
