Class History The past four years have not been a mere series of events but a high school career filled with real achievements. We will let the present classes of Medina High School be a witness to the fact that our class of SeventyTive has been no means contender in any school affair. We have tried to have friendship for all, to love and respect our instructors, and at all times to lay stress upon that one virtue, truth, an ideal which we can proudly say we have fulfilled. We have bent our backs to the oars and have rowed our boats to a landing place in the sea of knowledge, called the “Senior Class of ’34.” Now that we have reached the most important part of our high school career, we must take the responsibility of Seniorship upon our shoulders and attempt the portage to the day of Graduation. The precedents we have set are related in detail throughout this book, so they will need not be told here. The memories of these four years can not be taken from us, for as we pass on, they shall be a source of constant encouragement. We extend our sincere gratitude to those who have made these memories so valuable. Josephine Steingass. Not Finished Just Beginninj We, the class of thirty-four, Quite likely think there is no more, When life’s race we’ve this far run. However, Life has just begun. “Of learning, what more can there be?’ We ask. Then we begin to see, That when we enter life’s hard school, Lack of knowledge is the rule. Let’s not stop here, but onward go; To learn to live, to earn, to grow; To make few enemies — many friends, Until life’s pathway finally ends. -Bob Adams Twenty-Foui

THE MEDINIAN £g»W l I SOCIAL ACTIVITIES By Jeanne Halderson SENIOR PARTY The Senior Class Party was held January, seventeenth, 1934, in the high school auditorium. Hartman’s Orchestra played sweet accompaniments while we tripped gaily on each others toes. I haven’t been able to come to an agreement with Mr. Claggett on the number of necks that were broken in the “circle two steps,” so I’m sorry to say, an accurate count can’t be given. The boys turned domestic when it came to helping with the dishes. Everyone agreed that it was the most successful party ever given by our class. — By Joyce Wolfe. JUNIOR PARTY The Junior Class held its annual class party on Friday night, March tenth, at the high school. The committees provided worthwhile and exciting games for the large crowd which attended. Dancing followed the games, the music being furnished by Betty Jane Ryan’s orchestra, and everybody participated (something very unusual) . Light refreshments were served before the party broke up.— -By Maynard Pelton. SOPHOMORE PARTY A new form of etiquette was introduced at the beginning of our Sophomore Class Party, April sixth. The girls started things off with a bang by asking the bashful boys to dance. With the aid of their charming personalities, they soon had the boys dancing, beginners and all. The music was furnished by a smooth, nine-piece orchestra. The delicious pie-a-la-mode, which was served late in the evening disappeared quickly. — By Bill Nosker. FRESHMAN PARTY The Freshman Class Party was held Wednesday, April eleventh, at seven-thirty o’clock. Between seventy and eighty attended. The party started off with good games and the evening was spent in the so-called art of “learning to dance.” Delicious refreshments were served and the party broke up about ten-thirty-five P. M. Each one whose feet permitted, then departed for home-sweet-home, feeling that his first party had been a success. — By Jane Thompson. o EuAliA] tlrAiltoi V Twenty ' Six
