THE MEDINIAN I, Duane Babcock, will my hair-trigger sense of humor to Dennis Dannley. I, Billy Batchelder, give my perfect Spanish pronunciation to Louise Griesinger. I, Dudley Bagley, will my sturdy crop of whiskers to any covetous freshman. I, Erwin Rickard, generously bequeath my natural golden waves to Elizabeth McMillan, realizing that she might make use of them after her permanent has grown out. I, Louise Ainsworth, present my famous nonchalance to Ida Britt. I, Mildred Curtis, am delighted to provide that my ability to outjump all centers be divided equally between Virginia Halderson and Mae Maitland. WE, The Class, provide that all the extra credits of Senior classmen be sold at auction, the proceeds of which, to go to make a fund for a hospital for nerve-wrecked faculty members. THEREFORE, after careful weighing of the matter and due consideration, We, The United Senior Class, have and do firmly believe that, “Where there is a Will there is a — lawsuit and in witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our name this second day of June, 1932, A. D. at Medina, Ohio. “CLASS OF 1932.” Mildred Curtis, ’32. Class Song TUNE: Carry Me Back to Old Virginia. We want to go back to Old Medina High; There’s where our studying and hardwork began. 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
