Do you remember them? In 1920 we started our first year of elementary school, gradually learning our A, B, C’s until we mastered Arithmetic, Geography, History, Reading, Spelling, etc by 1928 we were ready for High School. so This Freshman year introduced a new kind of school work, with which we were not well (acquainted, and because of these things, time seemed to pass slowly. The number entering this year was increased by a large number of pupils from other town ' ships. The total number was sixty eight, all these waiting to be escorted to our first Freshman classrooms, 227 and 117. Here we found Mr. Taggert and Mr. Claggett in the respective rooms. Mr. Claggett was a new teacher, who soon became a true friend to the whole class. We were well acquainted with Mr. Taggert due to his helpfulness in the 8th grade. In our classrooms we met new teachers, Miss Watters, Miss Stewart, Miss Martin and Mr. Robeson, who were just beginning their first year of teaching in Medina High. They too, have done much to guide us through our school work and our activities. Even though time went slowly the year passed by without a flaw. While Freshmen we watched and respected with envious thoughts the prestige and importance of the Juniors and Seniors. Spanned between us and this rank of honor loomed our Sophomore year, to which we readily became accustomed, due to our previ ' ous year’s experience. During the first semester unforseen pleasures developed. The second semester was saddened by the death of our friend and teacher Miss B. Houston. As we entered our Junior year we assumed the responsibilities of “upper ' dass ' men,” such as editing the Annual and requiring respect from all “upper ' classmen.” We were very unfortunate in the untimely loss of our esteemed Class President, Dana L. Cole. Thus we became dignified Seniors, our last year of High School, in which we sponsored a successful class play, “Gangway,” due to the kind supervision of Miss Cooper, Mr. Conkle and the Faculty. Our thoughts now grew more serious as we realized the part we had to play in this creative world. We graduated in a group of sixty five, each fellow classman ready to go his way and keep the wheels of life rolling. . iirr iiiAuAmluAUif lunuAuAut luoiBngEBKfflflE Twenty THE MEDINIAN mmm. Valedictory By Lawrence Prehn As the thought comes to us, that we, the Class of 1932, are now leaving our Medina High School to whom we have all become attached, we are apt to wonder at the significance of such an act, for only occasionally shall we be able to come again within its friendly atmosphere and then, only as visitors. There may be the thought that this is the end of our school days and, therefore, the end of our learning. It is true that we have finished our secondary school training, but it is also true that our education is far from being completed. Our life, thus far, has been a continual educational process, which has progressed through three distinct stages, and this, our Commencement Day, marks the conclusion of the third stage. Permit me to trace the outlines of these stages and their inception. The first had its beginning with our introduction into this world. Our task was to become acquainted with the world immediately about us, especially with those things which were most important to our welfare at that time. Becoming accustomed to our homes and every day adventuring forth into the new little worlds of our in ' fantile perception under the patient guidance of our parents found us, after five years, with our horizon of existence much larger than it was when we first became aware of our surroundings. The second stage of our life, or education, began when we entered school, where we came into contact with many more people whom we learned to know by name and appearance as well as by certain other characteristics. Advancing from grade to grade increased our activities. Our studies were fascinating. We were amazed to learn that the earth was saped like a ball and that it was spinning around and around, and that, although the sun appeared to be much smaller than the earth, it was, in reality, many times larger. New people were continually entering our lives and they, together with our study of other lands and their inhabitants, left their impression upon us. The horizon of our little world which had been expanding all the time began to widen out at a greatly increased rate, when we were promoted to high school. Here, we were accorded many new privileges and the consequent responsibilities challenged the more intensive use of our mental powers. Here, too, we began to realize that our progress no longer depended so much upon our parents and teachers, but more and more upon our own ability and our willingness to apply it. This realiza ' tion was further emphasized by our study of the languages and history of other men whose independence made them worthy of our attention. Unlimited fields, both con ' crete and abstract, were revealed in our study of mathematics, while chemistry and physics acquainted us with the complicated structures which constitute our planet. Although the development of independence is very important, our life is inter ' dependent in character, like that of a tree, for as a tree grows, it sends out new roots and branches, which, in turn, enable it to grow larger, and as we grow, when new things are acquired, they, in turn, furnish the foundation for our continued growth. By the time we have finished high school our outlook has so broadened that our past life is beheld from a newer more mature viewpoint and we are able to see, at least dimly, the trend of our future education or life. This new period will be, or at least should be, one of greater expansion than has ever been experienced before, and having acquired the basic foundation of our education we should now continue building Twenty-One THE MEDINIAN I I f - j s ! i il -� i I | I i 1 i 1 I 1 I 1 1 I - ij 5 3 S this broader life, for, according to that old adage: “It is never too late to learn,” our opportunity for development is unlimited. Proof of this is shown by the fact that some of our greatest thinkers have passed their three score and ten and are still pro ' gressing energetically. This statement also shows us the importance of maintaining good health, for without good health, we cannot work to our greatest ability. If we cannot work to our greatest ability at something which we like to do, our happiness will, certainly, not be at maximum. Furthermore, no career which any of the class of 1932 may choose to enter, can be efficiently carried on without specific training for the work which it entails. Our immediate task, therefore, is to obtain this training. In doing so, however, our sense of perspective must not be lost, for knowledge of vocations, other than our own, is not only desirable but, in many in ' stances, helpful. And so, as we separate tonight, each to obtain the additional training necessary for success in the vocation of his choice, let us remember that our horizon widens only when we climb, and that the climbing depends more and more upon our own power to move ourselves. Let us not forget to express our sincere gratitude to those w ho have been instru ' mental in widening our horizon to its present extent. In saying Farewell, we realize now, more than ever before, how much we really owe to our parents and teachers for their guidance to our present position. We can and will prove the truth of this statement by according to others the same degree of assistance for broadening their horizon that has been accorded to us. Salutatory By William Batchelder It is with great pleasure that we, the Class of 1932, welcome you, our friends and relatives, here tonight. Every member of our class realizes and appreciates to the fullest extent all that he owes to his parents, friends, members of the faculty and of the School Board, and all who have made possible the erection and maintenance of this fine school plant which affords such splendid educational facilities. This debt is one which we can never hope to repay in full, but it is our determination to strive to become respected members of society so that none of you will ever regret the labors and worries which you have expended on our behalf. Indeed, were it not for the constant encourage ' ment and neverTailing aid which you have so generously extended to us it would have been impossible for us to be here at all. Our four years of high school have been happy ones and we may certainly con ' sider them well spent. In fact, it might be said, that we have now learned enough to know that we really know nothing, which, after all, is the first prerequisite to an education. Under the present industrial and economic conditions, it is a well known fact that unless a person has a good, well balanced education he is hopelessly handicapped. It used to be that a man possessing superior scholastic training was the exception; and, as such, was entitled to an easy living. Today, the same type is the rule and, far from being handed a soft job for life, he must scratch as hard as anyone else for his bread and butter. An education was once a luxury; now it is a necessity. S3 iiiZ sm ml ml mlml ' ml ml mlml ml mT mlmr l mlml mlml mlml ail ml WWlullDllmZ Twenty-Two 3QMMMMM THE M ED I N I AN Education, in itself, is nothing; one must know how to use it. True education must develop character in the individual as well as skill and mental capacity. Indus ' try, honesty, temperance, perseverance, dependability and kindred virtues are more es- sential to success today than ever before; one must possess these qualities before he can even hope to compete on an even scale with others. Under our present system one must either be prepared to fulfill one’s duties absolutely to the letter, or give way to some one else who can. We, the Class of 1932, realize all this and are only the more determined to go out into the world and do our best at whatever we may attempt, no matter how lowly it may be. We must not, however, think that by success we mean the mere accumulation of money. If it has done nothing else, the chaos in the economic world which has ef- fected so many changes in our idea of what we once considered the fundamentals, has given us a severe jolt in regard to what we thought was a successful man or woman. We now realize that, though a reasonable amount of money is necessary to happiness, the act of possessing it, in itself, means nothing. We now realize just how unstable monetary values are, and are just beginning to appreciate these things which money can not buy. It is to be hoped that when money again becomes as plentiful as it once was, that we will be able to retain our sense of values which a great many of us have obtained at such a great cost, and will be able to retain our appreciation of the arts and all the beautiful things of life. Let us hope that the main characteristics of our civilization in the future may be a perfect balance between the arts and the more material things. Let us hope that we will strive to develop ourselves to as great an efficiency in the arts or at least in the appreciation of them as we now work to attain in those things from which we think we can see an ultimate monetary return. We must remember that gold is worth only what it can buy and, as far as it concerns those things which it can’t buy, it is worthless. This is where our high schools enter in, for, in such institutions, we learn to value things according to their true worth, not by their exteriors, pretentious though they may be, but by their true characteristics, the real essentials. Though many people think that “book-learning,” as they call it, is a useless thing, who can say that it doesn’t awaken qualities, desirable qualities, which otherwise would lie dormant within us, leaving us and the world poorer for it. After all, when one gets down to the basic purpose of our high schools, are they not in existence mainly to make better citizens, better men and women of us all? The need for good citizens is being felt more and more, especially under present conditions, not only in this country, but all over the world. As we look about us and see the condition of the world, our crippled economic system which denies millions of willing people the right to work, our archaic political system, and our social system which, at the very least, is badly bent, we can appreciate, in times like these, just how much clear thinking men and women of good character and high ideals are worth to us. We can be thankful that our high schools have done so much to develop these de- sirable traits in our future citizens by the excellent training and guidance they have given them. Undoubtedly, many potential leaders have remained followers simply be- cause they were never given a chance to develop their abilities. May I close by again welcoming you here, and by hoping that you will enjoy our Commencement Exercises this evening; that you will remember that as we par- ticipate in them, we do so, realizing that only through your generosity are these Ex- ercises made possible. Twenty-Three THE MEDINIAN Class Prophecy By Jim Brown Have you ever spent an evening sitting at home reminiscing and looking over old books and reminders of bygone days? This is just what I did on the night of June 2, 1947. It was a rainy night and perfect for such a pastime. As I sat in my easy chair, looking into the fire, my mind went back to the day of my graduation from Medina High. Only twenty-five years ago, but it seemed like fifty, so much had taken place. Hastily I took the 1932 Medinian from the shelf and settled back into the chair for some enjoyable memories. It fell open at the pictures of the Senior class. There was Louise Ainsworth; Peasy is now in Cuba enjoying the millions she had acquired. Sue Anderson is with her and what a pair! Lucille Arnold is now a famous actress on Broadway. Merle Auker, Lyman Koons, Milford Harley and Earl Buchanan run the N. A. T. Air Lines. Duane Babcock and Harold Bennett are both happily married and big business men. Helen Babcock is now teaching school in New York. Let’s see. Dud Bagley is a great cook on the Cunard Lines with Iola Swift as assistant.

There’s where we made friends, each with the other; There’s where our old hearts are longing to roam. That’s the place where we learned what we know, Day after day in the fields of thought — No place on earth do we love more sincerely, Than Old Medina High, the place that’s loved by all. —ERWIN RICKARD.

As a remedy for this, Jimmy Falk, who is Mel’s best friend, formulates a plan to be carried out by Elmer Stoddard, a successful business man, and his secretary, Myrial Vernon, assisted by his office clerk, Hazel Jackson. The climax of the experiment is reached when A. B. Merkle, a blustering custom- er, is very effectively subdued by the aggressive actions of the former quiet book-store employee. Although working against the odds of an angry ex-employer, Melford, with the assistance of Myrial, in whom he is deeply interested by this time, finds his proper place in the business world and all ends happily. Commencement By Ann Tesens y Memory still wafts before our eyes, Like the scent of sweet May flowers, That fair day of unclouded skies, When we bade farewell to the hours Of happiness together we had spent. When gone is youth’s dear dower, And we all are old and gray, Still in our hearts that hour Will linger and fondly stay. llTwWW if?W lA!JAtltAt!TAuniJAtllAl Twenty-Nine THE MEDINIAN Baccalaureate SUNDAY, MAY 29, 1932 8:00 P.

JUNIOR A CLASS HISTORY Three years ago, in the fall of 1929, about seventyTive boys and girls entered M. H. S. as Freshmen. Since that time the class of ’33 has been active in all sports and social activities of the high school. This year was a lucky one for the class in basketball. Both the boys and the girls defeated their opponents in the Inter ' dass meet. SENIOR B HISTORY We, the Class of ’33 entered Medina High School as industrious Freshmen and have successfully traveled the steep grade which has been ahead of us. We hope to leave a very good record for Medina High by living up to her ideals.

We have several musicians who play in the band and the orchestra. The girls, as well as the boys, are promising athletes and we hope to accomplish much in the two remaining years at M. H. S. P.

We were not surprised in finding among our members many remarkable athletes as well as musicians of ability, who have contributed liberally of their talents. Very early in the year we met to elect our officers. The results were: President BILLY HARTMAN Vice President DENNIS DANNLEY Secretary VELMA KELSER Treasurer RUTH ARMSTRONG Next year, though we are Juniors, we will carry on with our high scholastic ideals and our Sophomore spirit of Pep and Good Sportsmanship.

HISTORY By Isabelle Simmerman Sixty-seven young Freshies entered Medina High early in September, 1931. Of course, every one was initiated in some way, but the fish pond played an important business in our chastisement. We held a class meeting and the following officers were elected: President, Robert Wideman; vice president, Robert Adams; Secretary, Isabelle Simmerman; treasurer, Mannie Ecker. We have had one Hard Times Party celebrating the end of the depression. We have already found a surprising amount of talent in our class and more is coming to light every day. Just give us time — we’!! leave a record well worth remembering in the future.

IB CLASS HISTORY It seemed like a long hard road ahead all the way up from Kindergarten days to High School, but at length the goal was reached and Miss Adkins, taking pity on us, gave us the final push over the precipice, landing us into our place as Freshmen B’s. Of course you couldn ' t really say we were green because we had been in the high school building for two years, but in order that we might feel even more at home, and yet not lose sight of the fact that we were merely Freshmen, we were informed that our home room would be in the Biology laboratory which is also the home of the other “Poor Fishes’’. Although we did not particularly distinguish ourselves in athletics this year, .we have promising material for the coming seasons. We have a number of musicians in the class and four are already in the band and orchestra. The class officers are as follows: President NADA WILDER Vice President LENORE O BRIEN Secretary JOE FODOR Treasurer RALPH ADAMS In four happy years, when we shall have at last reached that exalted place which you now occupy, “O Lordly Seniors”, may it be said of us that never once did we fail to carry on the spirit of Medina High School.

The Band and Orchestra have grown from small numbers to large groups of talented musicians. Both the Band and Orchestra have played for special meetings in the community, some of which were: The Community Chest Drive; Kiwanis Club dinners: and the Spanish ' American War Veterans Reunion. They have also played for many of the football and basketball games. Also, Mr. Hesser has organised a High School Chorus consisting of fortyTive talented singers. A double trio of three sopranos and three altos has been formed. The sopranos are Betty Brereton, Lucille Arnold and Pauline Charlton. The altos are Jean Haider ' son, Christine Gage and Maxine Snyder. They have started out with success and give good promises for the future. The Spring Music Festival held in the High Schol Auditorium in May completed a very successful music season.

Forty-Five 6® THE MEDINIAN Im SOCIAL ACTIVITIES By Julia Baish Medina High School had an exceptionally gay social season this year. The Seniors opened the season by having a very successful party in which a number of the year’s “Debutantes” “came out”. The Juniors boarded their seaworthy ship, “The Jolly Junior”, and outdid the Seniors in fun and refreshments. They even found hidden talent in an excellent pianist and two chefs (white aprons and all.) The younger set, the Sophomores and Freshmen, both had very enjoyable evenings at their “Proms” and showed the Upper Classmen that it was possible for them to entertain quite as well as their elders. So the fun of the students is not confined to the classroom, alone. This shows the real spirit of Medina High. JUNIOR ' SENIOR BANQUET “Soft lights and sweet music” — Such was the setting for one of the biggest mo- ments in the life of every beautifully dressed Junior and Senior girl and of every flan ' nebclad Junior and Senior boy. The Banquet and Dancing came up to everyone’s expectations. THE HIGH SCHOOL PICNIC All the lemons squeezed, All the sandwiches made, The ice cream will freeze, Most the bills are paid. Off to Chippewa Lake In Cadillacs and Model “T’s”. Just for old ' times sake; The Froshs and Sophs pay for the Spree. The water is cold, And the fish won’t bite; Still, these all told, There’s fun all right! The salad is good, And the meat is well. No more food, But it’s just as well. Baseball games are over And the dance is on, No one can stay under cover — Everyone joins in the fun. Now it makes no difference If you’re Freshmen or Sophomores, You are shown no deference By the Juniors or Seniors. || I I | | | | | I K I A i | 1 if | c - t 3 g 1 lc 03 Forty-Six THE MEDINIAN mm I 1 1 I I 5 GIRL RESERVES Marcella Brainerd President MARCELLA BRAINERD Vice President VIRGINIA HALDERSON Secretary VELMA KELSER Treasurer EDITH SHORT The teen age (Girl Reserves) members of the Y. W. C. A. carried out their pn ject the first semester in the usual way — three groups: Handicraft, Charm School and Dramatics. There was a little more activity the second semester. It was decided to carry out a form of “World Fellowship” by studying a different country each month, Hungary, Ireland, Russia and Japan. Each of the three groups studied a different phase and at the end of each month managed to convey their accomplishments and knowledge in dances, plays, talks, and even pastries (Yum!). As the months rolled by the number of pages in our Book of Adventure decreased and at last came the final chapter — the “Mother and Daughter Banquet”, a dinner with an international theme. Thus, the group of sixty girls completed a most successful year, in 193 D32. HLY Joe Komjati President JIMMY BROWN Vice President DUD BAGLEY Secretary -T reasurer DEAN FRIESNER Assistant Secretary reasurer BILLY BATCHELDER The Hi ' Y group consisted of thirty members under the leadership of Mr. Fenn and Mr. Claggett. The total time was given over to “Vocations”. Men of all pro ' fessions talked to the group on that subject. Three delegates attended the Ohio State Older Boys’ Conference at Dayton. They were Larry Newberry, Erwin Rickard and Jimmy Brown. For added interest, several trips were made and the year was ended by a picnic supper at Camp Crag. c £ Forty-Seven Butdorff, Robert; Cowling, Willard; Crocker, Burt; Drogell, Clyde; Fulton, Clare; Gayer, Richard; Gordon, Ray; Harley, Milford; Hartman, William; Hoff, Marcel; Jennings, Charles; Jones, Ted; Kenzig, Carl; Kilmer, Ralph; Mallory, Virgil; McFad ' den, Douglas; Navratil, Edward; Navratil, John; Oberholtzer, Clark; Palker, Joseph; Perkins, Paul; Piper, Edwin; Promey, Bernard; Pusta, John; Roberts, Edward; Rodgers, Wayne; Schlechty, Willis; Selzer, Lester; Selzer, Paul, Selzer, Merle; Selzer, Wayne; Siman, Kenneth; Slabaugh, Keith; Sviatko, Thomas; Taylor, Floyd; Thomas, John; Wideman, Bob; Wilcox, Bill; Wolery, Godfrey. VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE NOTES By Marcel Hoff The aim of the Vocational Agriculture course in our high school is to interest the student in the field of argiculture and also to acquaint him with the future and oppor tunities in agriculture. Medina High school offers four years of Agriculture and one of Farm Shop. Each student carries on some project at his home which is related to the study of agriculture in school. One and one fourth credit is given each year for this work. The enrollment in the department was the largest of any year in the history of the department, with thirty eight boys taking the course. Animal Husbandry and Poultry were studied by the Freshmen and Sophomores this year. The Juniors and Seniors studied Soils and Management. Next year Farm Crops and Horticulture and Agricultural Engineering will be given. During the four years each boy is given the opportunity to participate in several activities, such as making the various judging teams, exhibiting various products at fairs, speaking in public contests or working in the Future Farmers Organization. Community work is carried on by the department, such as spraying orchards, testing seed corn, and testing soils and milk. The boys also run experiments on their school farm and orchard to back up their scientific study. This year the boys purchased two acres of potatoes, harvested and marketed them, and they realized a profit of over one hundred dollars. With this money they hope to take a bus trip East this summer. Mr. Duke will take this trip with them and is helping them plan it.

H. S. with five lettermen back, had a very successful season considering the victory over the Alumni and the experience of most of the players. Although not winning the league title, they put up a hard fight by only losing two games in the league, and to New London and Wellington. This spring, Coach Masi has announced the beginning of spring football for the building up of next year’s squad. All this will be is the brushing up on the funda- mentals. The following lettermen will be missing next fall: Captain Oberholtzer, Navratil, Harley, Potts, Blumenstein, Maitland, Thomas and Carter. [uTwwajnu Fifty-Two THE MEDINIAN L. E. Captain Oberholtzer — a good man on defense as well as offense, and fast in covering punts. We -surely will miss him next fall on the gridiron. L. T. Johnnie ?{avratil—a. hard man to take out of a play. He could either open a hole in a brick wall or stand pat for any bombardment that came his way. L. G. Hig Higgins — although late in learning the game he showed his ability when he did get going. Though light for a guard, he held his ground. A great prospect for next year. C. Lloyd Hoff — an accurate passer and center peg of the line. There was no game too rough for him! He could stop any center rush. R. G. Paul Blumenstein — a big, husky guard. When players hit him they thought they had hit a stone wall. R. T. Bill Wil ey — a new player to the game, but at the end of the season he knew the game like a veteran. R. E. Bus Kaufman — a first year man, but he showed his ability in taking out his man in end runs. Bill Hartman — the signal barker of the team, and a reliable punter. A man the team depended on to take them out of tough spots. R. H. Bob Potts — the smallest man on the team, tackier for his size. We will miss him next fall. A clever runner and a neat gains. L. H. Jimmie Carter — a fast and slippery runner in carrying the ball for many gains that resulted in touchdowns. F. Miff Harley — an all around player, playing from guard to fullback. He was a hard line plunger and took the spirit out of many of the teams. F. Jac Thomas — a hard tackier and a good blocker, who paved the way for many s. Half. Gus Maitland — a great ball carrier who made many long gains for his team. Half. Son Anderson — a reliable player to take the pigskin for many long rides up the field. G. Effus LJewberry — a very shifty guard, who outclassed his opponents by his clean and clever tactics. C. Dud Bagley — a center that the team could depend on to pass the ball with ac ' curacy. No stone wall was ever too strong to hold him back. T. Pete Rodgers — a heavy and powerful tackle that any team would be glad to have. E. Steve West— a dangerous pass receiver, and could always be depended on to stop end runs. 5 Fifty-Three BASKETBALL SQUAD Aylard, Paul; Brown, Jim; Galla, John; Grim, Robert; Hartman, Bill; Higgins, Howard; Hoff, Lloyd; Hoff, Marcel; Kirk, Kenneth; Kisner, Gordon; Navratil, John; Oberholt 2 ,er, Clayton; Potts, Robert; Thomas, Quinton; West, Steve; Whitfield George.

At times, our team looked like world beaters and at other times they looked very poor. We were a home floor team as we lost only two games on our own floor, while away from home we won only one. Even at that, we outscored our opponents by over fifty points. We also had a good lightweight squad which won most of its games. In interclass basketball the Juniors won by defeating the Sophomores 10-9. The following players received letters: Captain Brown, Lloyd Hoff, Marcel Hoff, Oberholtzer, Navratil, Hartman, Higgins, West and Galla. Fifty-Four 1 : i«Mi THE MEDINIAN ams a BnanLa CAPTAIN JIM BROWN — Forward Jim has been our main offensive cog for the last two years and has been high point man both times. He handled the ball well and kept it moving all the time. Jim has been on the squad three years and we will miss him next year. MARCEL HOFF— Center Marcel jumped center and controlled the tip ' off most of the time. He was not a high scorer but he was a good team man and good on defense. He has been our regm lar center for the last two years. LLOYD HOFF — Forward Lloyd was our other forward and he surely kept Jim hustling to be high point man for the season. Lloyd, a regular last year, was good for six or seven points every game. He has another year yet and should be a wizard before he graduates. CLAYTON OBERHOLTZER — Guard Funny has played regular for three years and ended his athletic career at M. H. S. at the end of the first semester. Funny was floor guard and handled the ball well. He was the steadying force when the game got close, and we missed him after he left. JOHN NAVRATIL — Guard Johnny was our other guard who graduated in January. He was the best defense man M. H. S. has seen in the last few years, even though he was handicapped by a trick knee. He was a letter man last year, also. HOWARD HIGGINS — Guard Hig was our most reliable guard after the first semester. He could stop a fast play while on defense and start a faster one on offense. Hig has two more years and should be one of Medina’s best guards. (By Brown) BILL HARTMAN — Guard Bill, a sophomore, developed quickly into a good guard. He did not play regular until the second semester but he surely made up for it then. He has two years to go yet and should show plenty of stuff. STEVE WEST — Forward Steve was a utility player and could capably fill any position on the team. He was by rights a forward but he played guard as well as center whenever the occasion demanded. He has two more years. JOHN GALLA —Guard Palooka was a good offensive guard and could pot a long one. In the Amherst game he sank two long ones that took the heart out of the opponents. This was his first and last year at Medina. BOB POTTS — Forward Bobby was our most reliable substitute. He did not receive a letter because he was forced to leave school on account of illness. He showed his gameness by playing in a game just two days before his operation. Fifty-Five BASEBALL 1932 By Bob Smith Amherst pen Date Elyria Amherst Wooster Wooster There Here There Here There Here Medina Hi should produce a winning baseball team this year. We have turn-out and have lost but a few letter-men. The boys are very enthusiastic. EARL BUCHANAN, 193 3 — “Buc ” Buck is our center-fielder and can be relied on to stop everything coming his way. PAUL BLUMENSTEIN, 1932— “Paul Paul plays right-field and is good on long flies. JACK THOMAS, 1932 —“Jack Jack is our regular left-handed pitcher. He has a lot of steam and a nice hook ball JIMMY CARTER, 1933— “Jimmy” Jimmy is playing his last season. He stops hot ones that come between second JIM BROWN, 1932— “Midge e is our second baseman. He is a fast fielder. Fifty-Six E5T THE MEDINIAN 1 m HAROLD POTTS, 1932— ' ‘Harold” Harold is our shortstop. It is a hard job to get a ball past him. RAYMOND EWING, 1933- Ray is our left fielder. He is great on the flies. ‘Ray” PAUL AYLARD, 193 3— “Paul” Paul is our third baseman. He is a fair batter. KENNETH KIRK, 1933— ' Kenny” Kenny plays second. He is good at stopping grounders and a good batter. EVERETT WISE, 1934— “Ev” Ev is our right-handed pitcher. He has a fast ball and good control. We are expecting a lot of him. RAY GORDON, 1934— “Ray” Ray is our catcher. This is his second year. His specialty is pegging them to second. BILL HARTMAN, 1934— “Bill” Bill is our first baseman, this is his first year and we are depending on him. STEVE WEST, 1934— “Steve” Steve is a good fielder. This is his second year. BOB SMITH, 1934— “Bob” Bob has had one year of experience behind the old bat and we are expecting a great deal of him. ALLEN BOOTH, 1933— “Booth” Booth is our catcher, this is his second year and he should prove a valuable man. JOHN HOOD, 1932— ' ‘Johnny” Johnny is our right-handed pitcher. He plays a good field and is a heavy hitter. QUINTON THOMAS, 1934— ' ‘Quinine” Quinine is a fielder. He has two more seasons for the Green and White. WILLIAM WILKEY, 1933— ' ‘Bill” Bill is our first baseman. He is a fair hitter and is good on fast grounders. Robert Perrin, Richard Gayer, William Wilcox, Merle Fredrick and Bert Crocker are “freshies” this year and will be expected to do much in the coming seasons. CHARLES JENNINGS, 1934— ' ‘Chuc ” Chuck plays the catching position. This is his first year. Fifty-Seven VARSITY TRACK By Lloyd Hoff The track squad started training April 18, 1932. Over twentyTive men re ' ported. We have six lettermen back from the championship team that won the cup last year. These lettermen, with the aid of the new members and our very capable coaches, Mr. Claggett and Mr. Masi, should have very little trouble retaining the hard earned Trophy. We have no important meets scheduled until the League Meet at Oberlin. The following names are those of boys who are out, working for a place on the team: KOONS “Koony” is our Senior pole vaulter. He has won many points for M. H. S. and is certain to do his share — pole vault, broad jump. HOFF This is “Marcel ' s” fourth and last year to run the dashes for M. H. S. He’s sure to make it his best year. 100 yd., 220 yd., half mile relay. BENNETT “Bengy” is another letterman back. He’s a good high jumper. High jump, javelin. JONES “Ted” is our flashy sophomore. He’s certain to pile up a lot of points. 100 yd., 220 yd., half mile relay. HARTMAN “Bill” won a letter last year by his good broad jumping. We’re glad he’s only a Sophomore. Discus, Broad Jump, Shot putt. PREHN This is “Prehn’s” last year. He’s anxious to beat his old records. Mile and half mile relays. Fifty-Eight FOOTE “Earl” is a Senior who is out to help keep the Trophy. Mile and half mile relays. CLEMENT “Clem” has been tearing up the track for the last two years and now he’s back again. Half mile and 440 yd. HOFF This is “Lloyd’s” third year. He expects to outdo some old records. We’re glad he has another year with M. H. S. 220 yd., hurdles and discus. — ( Lester M.) THOMAS “Jack” is a Senior who is out to assist the team by throwing the javelin. We’re glad to have his help. ADAMS This is “Bob’s” second year. He is a promising pole vaulter. We expect a lot from him. Pole vault and broad jump. BLUMENSTEIN “Paul” says that anyone who beats him will have to toss the weights quite a dis ' tance. We’re sorry he is a Senior. Shot putt and discus. FULTON “Claire” is a Sophomore, dash man, who has been showing lots of speed. 100 yd., 220 yd. dashes. FAVRI “Bob” is a Sophomore, who is developing into a pole vaulter. He has plenty of time to improve. Pole vault, discus. WILKEY This is “Roy’s” first year on the squad, and he is showing plenty of action. Half mile relays. THOMAS “Quinine” is out for his first year. We expect a lot from him. Half mile, shot putt. ROBERTS “Eddie” is another Sophomore who should develop into a good high jumper. HAMLIN “Howard” has three more years yet and promises to make himself heard from. 100 yd., 220 yd. dashes. INDOE “Harry” is a Sophomore. He works hard and should get good results. Discus, half mile. COVER “Glenn” is a Freshman and is out working hard for the dashes. LANCE “Lance” has three years yet and we’re certain he’ll develop into a runner. Half mile, 220 yd. i i !

Although we haven’t lived up to our past record we still have enough determination to start a new one. It is said, “Success is not measured by the number of games won and lost. Defeats are merely stepping stones to Success.’’ So we are hoping for a very successful year in ’33. Sixty WWlV8mS 4t.m ' m THE MEDINIAN 1 1 Because there were so many on the squad this year, twenty in all, it is impossible to write up every one, so the Seniors are being glorified, as that is the main purpose of the annual. Eight Seniors are graduating this year and taking all the regulars with them, with the exception of one Junior, Wanda Koppes. “ANN” Our Honorary Captain this year was Ann Yesensky. She has been on the Var sity three years as a guard and has been a very aggressive player. She has certainly earned the honor of being chosen Honorary Captain for the year. “RAE” This was Rae’s third year on the Varsity also, and she has shown us what true sportsmanship can be. Being little is a big handicap in Basketball but Rae didn’t let that bother her. “SUE” We were certainly lost the second semester for a while after Sue McMillan left us. She always pulled us through in a tight pinch and we admire her for coming out this year although she could only play three games with us. “FRAN” We could always hear some good jokes in the locker room when our center guard was around. Frances could certainly stop her forward from putting in many baskets too. We are hoping that she will play the game of life as well as she did that of basketball. “SUE” This was Sue Anderson’s second year and we only wish she were going to be with us next year, because when she made up her mind to play she showed us she had the old fight. “CURT” Our center was always on the job. Mildred could always be counted on to do her part. She got a lot of knocks and criticism but she faced them with a smile. “MYRIA” Mary Pucsok, our forward, also had the handicap of being quite small, although she could boast of an inch or two over Rae. In Mary we found another Sue McMib lan and were certainly relieved to see that Mary could also put in the baskets. We hope she does everything as thoroughly and as squarely as she played basketball. “EV” Evelyn was another Senior who, although this was the first year she had tried out for basketball, became one of the best. We hope some of the material for the coming year will improve as much as Evelyn did. The Seniors have done their best in making this year a successful one for our girls’ basketball team and we hope we can do as well next year in playing the game fairly and squarely to bring victories for Medina High.

The winter months offered basketball with the inter ' dass tournaments. The first game of this meet was won by the Juniors with a score of 15 against that of 11 for the Freshmen. The Sophomore ' Senior game had the score of 16 ' 3 in favor of the Sophomores. The Junior ' Sophomore game was won by the Juniors with a score of 19-15.

TO BE WELL DRESSED THE MEDINIAN KENT STATE COLLEGE sends greetings and good wishes to the Senior Class. Although the college is already too big to be eager for a larger enrollment, since it has grown within four years from a college of 600 to 1325 students, it will make room and extend a welcome to Medina High School graduates who seek to enter and bring with them character, industry, ambition and the degree of intelligence needed to make good teachers. If interested write for a bulletin, or visit the college and see the beauty of its campus, the high standing of its faculty of ninety-two members, the wide range of courses it offers in both Liberal Arts College, and Teachers’ College. You may be pleasantly surprised, too, to learn how low the expenses are. Yours sincerely, J. O. ENGLEMAN, President. Compliments and Congratulations to the fine class of 1932 L. H.
