1 p a a a ATHLETIC PARTY On March fifth, Mr. and Mrs. Conkle gave an athletic party in honor of both the girls’ and boys’ basketball squad, who won from the New London teams, and for the football and track teams. The prettily decorated tables were laden with delicious food which was tremeiv dously enjoyed by all. After everyone had eaten more than usual, Mr. Masi led in some rousing songs and cheers for the host and hostess. Some played cards and many had their first “tryout” at dancing so there were many sore toes and soiled shoes the next day. “CY” Thomas, under compulsion, gave a tap dance, which added much to the entertainment. — By Lillian Socha. GIRL ' S BASKETBALL PARTY The night of the Girls Basketball squad party was a gay one. The party was held at Velma Kelser’s on December twenty ' first. We all arrived about eight o’clock. The first part of the evening was spent in playing cootie, followed by various other games, until a call from the kitchen announced that the refreshments were ready. We were served chicken patty shells with plenty of cake, ice cream, and candy. After eating, we presented Miss Allen with a gift from all the girls. We concluded the evening by talking until eventually the party broke up. — By Olive Beedlc. THE TEACHER ' S PARTY The Faculty and Board Members had their annual party in November. After having finished a three course dinner, served by the high school teachers, the party adjourned to the gym floor. There, two baseball teams were organised, one made up of women, and one of men. When the baseball game was over, a balloon stunt was given by the men. The rest of the evening was spent playing bridge and other card games. — By Margery Conkle. firSYir?svir sMi7Svir svirr Mr« Twenty-Seven

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

w THE MEDINIAN rri y GIRL RESERVES Velma Kelser President Lucille Deyell Vice-President Doris Everhard Secretary Eleanor Ganyard Treasurer There are fifty-five Girl Reserves enrolled this year. The program was opened last fall by a hike to the home of Velma Kelser. Instead of dividing into three groups, each having a different subject, this year we are working into one big group. Most of our meetings have been devoted to talks by the town women. Some of the subjects were: ideals, etiquette, the meaning of our club, standards and requirements for rings, foreign countries, and other worthwhile topics. On Thursday, February twenty-sixth, a banquet was held in the council room. This was the award given the side which won in a contest that was staged to collect the dues. The parents of the Girl Reserves enjoyed a tea held at the Methodist Church on Sunday, April twenty-ninth. The advisors have been: Miss Martin, Mrs. Mansell, Miss Sanderson, and Virginia Halderson, Junior advisor. Doris Everhard HIT In Medina County this organization has been instrumental in youth development for twenty-six years. In the beginning there were YMCA groups throughout the county which enjoyed fourteen years of active life. At the termination of these years, the Hi-Y was formed in the Medina schools, twelve years ago. This was a direct outgrowth of the old “Y” groups, differing from them in only that in the new club the members were younger. The Hi-Y is an extremely active organization. Among their activities are: dis- cussions of moral and religious issues educational and industrial excursions, swim trips, co-educational functions, summer camping, Hi-Y conferences in the larger cities of Ohio, etc. This year we have participated in a State conference at Wooster, several swim trips to Akron and Cleveland, as well as educational jaunts to these cities. We have had numerous well directed discussions during the winter and with the coming of spring we decided to break away with a picnic at Camp Crag, in an effort to close our season with a bang. In the Freshman and Sophomore club Mr. Claggett leads the discussions with Charles Lawrence as President. In the Junior and Senior group Mr. Fenn acts as discussion leader, with your humble reporter as President. Lyman Adams Twenty-Eight
