Sixteen IN MEMORI AM HELEN McFADDEN In remembrance of Helen McFadden, a comrade whose memory we shall always hold dear, and a friend whose cheerfulness and enthusiasm we cherish, we dedicate this space. We write her name, and as we write, A flood of memories comes to light. Her sunny smile, her charming ways. And now — how lonely are the days ! We stood aghast — our hearts could break With all the sorrow and the ache. But rich memories I (eep her with us yet. Dear class mate — we never, never can forget, So sweet, so happy, sunny clear In memory you are always near! EUGENE BLACK To our honored class mate, Eugene Black, who, in uprightness of character, tenacity of purpose, and brightness of disposition, excelled us all, we the Class of Nineteen Thirty-Five, offer this tribute. The wise, the just, the pious, and the brave, Live in their deaths, and flourish in the grave.” Seventeen VALEDICTORY By Maxine Snyder We are living in a great moment of history, a time of challenge to all the passion, energy, and genius of youth. There are realities to be confronted and problems to be solved that demand all the honest ability, force of character, and integrity that we can muster, plus all the training we can acquire. Dreamers used to wish for the day when the lightning and the winds would be harnessed to the machines of men, but we have gone farther than that today in centering our attem tion on a region unconquerable, even in imagination, until a few years ago; that is, the stratosphere. Tonight, let us compare our whole lives, past, present, and future to a trip into the stratosphere. In preparing for such a flight, we must design the gondola and balloon before anything else can be accomplished. Calculations must be made, ideas compared, and the advice of the experienced must be sought. Such a flight could never be made possible unless definite, accurate plans were considered. Like ' wise, we can never soar in life unless we take definite steps to prepare ourselves. Early in life we must take stock of our assets, and start the design for our growth. So far our design for growth has been a fundamental one, like the bare framework of a balloon, chosen for us by parents and teachers, but whether we make a well balanced plan for our lives depends hereafter, entirely, upon ourselves. Like the pioneer in aviation, we must bla2;e our own way. The world admires the man who has the courage to lift his head above the crowd. Whatever our work in life may be, we cannot be imitators. We may seek the opinions of the wise, but we must be independent and selTreliant. No stratosphere balloon would be a success if it were firmly anchored to something else to give it balance. The same thing is true of us. As Emerson has said: “Trust thyself, every heart vibrates to that iron string.” The world is full of “followers”, “leavers”, and “taggers”, who are willing to walk in old paths and to have their thinking done for them; but the world is seeking the man with the original force who leaves the path and pushes into new fields — the physician who departs from the precedent of those who have gone be ' fore him, or the lawyer who conducts his case in an honest way. Each individual must design his own career according to his own peculiar equipment. Before the gondola can be constructed, a contract must be given out. In our life, society has given us a contract to fulfill. There are certain advantages and restrictions involved in our life contracts. Society has given us many duties, obli ' gations and laws to uphold, in return for which we get many protections and op- portunities. Thus far, as high school graduates, we have eaten unearned bread, learned truths without sacrifices, and have relied upon others for every idea we possess. Society expects us to make a contribution to this world in return for the start it has given us. If we fail, we have broken the contract. When the National Geographic Society and the U. S. Army Corps Stratosphere Expedition was planned, a suitable place for the base camp had to be chosen. Three considerations determined this choice: first, the point had to be far enough west to permit the balloon to drift seven or eight hundred miles to the eastward, and still come to earth in a relatively level, unforested country; second, the weather record of the region had to be promising for good summer flying; and third, the site had to be sheltered from surface winds. Wise choices and good judgment are essential in life. A person can determine his happiness and success by selecting Eighteen a good “base camp” for himself, that is, selecting the proper associates and ideals. There is a broad circumference of experience in which we cannot choose. Even so though we cannot choose the threads of life, their color, or texture, or length, the pattern that we weave is still our own. The center of life is ours for mastery, there, our sovereign will prevails. Our environment is our “base camp.” We must make it cultural to warrant suitable conditions for the preparation for our flight. We have to build a spirit of tolerance, as a protection to it so that it can with- stand the surface winds — the petty jealousies and unkind criticisms. The bag of a stratosphere balloon could never carry the gondola without the heavy steel cylinders filled with hydrogen. Likewise, we can never make a worthy contribution to this world unless we have a good strong character to pull us always upward. Hydrogen is the essential element for the stratosphere ascent, just as character is indispensable in the altitude attainment in life. As the construction of the airship progresses, a huge box carrying the balloon bag is brought into camp. Within this bag is found the force which gives the ship the power to ascend. This bag determines the height and speed of the ascen- sion into the stratosphere. In like manner, our personalities determine the speed and height of our success while our energy and ambition keep us going just as the liquid oxygen generator keeps the men in the balloon alive. As we are about to leave high school we should feel that honor demands of us that we plan our flight well so that we may give the greatest possible excellence in everything we undertake. At the very outset of our career we should make a reso- lution to stamp it with our individuality, and to give everything we do the im- print of our character as a trademark of which we may be proud. Let us make it a sign of the highest and best that is in us. Our diplomas will merely identify us as a person from whom society has a right to expect more than it can ask from others. It isn’t a badge of superiority, until we demonstrate it. When the preparations are fully completed for the trip in the Stratosphere, it is up to the pilot of the balloon to make the flight a success, as it is up to us to make our own lives a success when our preparations are complete. As Ulysses says to his friends in Tennyson’s poem: . . . my purpose holds To sail beyond the sunset, and the paths of all the western stars, until I die.” “One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” T ineteen THE MED N I A N SALUTATORY By Margery Con le Our high school days are now ended. We face the future with a feeling of uncertainty and dread as we realize the difficulties that will confront us. Most of us are concerned with the problem of employment. We know that it is very difficult to find a position and we ask ourselves, “How can we find work when there are over 10,000,000 people in the United States who are unemployed?” These people are frequently called failures because they have been unable to find employ ' ment. We are all striving for success. The question might be asked, “What is success?” Webster’s dictionary defines it as “the prosperous and favorable coni ' pletion or termination of any task you may undertake.” Its price is hard work, patience, and a few sacrifices. Success depends largely upon character; the qualities that make you what you are; and, what you have done makes you what you are. It is the only certain foundation upon which to build either a nation or an individual career. Knowledge is also important because it influences character. Particularly in a republic like ours where all the problems of public welfare must ultimately be re- ferred to the intelligence of the people, and where the control of the government is in the hands of the people, it is imperative that they shall be educated and trained for these responsibilities. Another quality we need for success is enthusiasm. It was enthusiasm that enabled Napoleon to complete a successful campaign in two weeks that would have taken another man a year to accomplish. Self-control is also essential. Those who learn this early in life have solved half the battles that will be met later. Many talented people are failures because of their inability to keep their tempers. Thus a single act sometimes determines a human destiny. Vision is important. A man cannot aspire if he looks down. With no fixed purpose in mind one unconciously follows the path of least resistance and ends in oblivion. Emerson expressed the need of vision when he said, “Hitch your wagon to a star.” Columbus possessed vision or he could not have discovered a new world. Climbing upwards demands tenacity of purpose. The successful men of today are men of one overmastering idea, one unwavering aim, men of single and in ' tense purpose. It was persistent effort that gave Bell the telephone, Whitney the cotton gin. Watt the steam engine, and Edison the phonograph. Another quality we need for success is definiteness of aim, for steadfast ap ' plication to a fixed goal is the law of a welbspent life. When the individual, striving for success, has discovered the art of applying all things to his aim, he has practically achieved victory. This perserverance and fixity of purpose is implied in the poem, “The Winner” — “The man who wins is the average man Not built on any particular plan. He’s one who never depends on luck — Just steady and earnest and full of pluck. So he works and waits, till one fine day There’s a bigger job with a better pay. And the men who shirked whenever they could Are bossed by the man whose work made good.” I igj Twenty CLASS PRESIDENTS ' ADDRESS By Kenneth Foley As president of the Senior Class of 1935, of Medina High School, it is my privilege to extend to you a cordial welcome to these — our commencement exercises. We have labored hard to attain graduation, and many times we have looked ahead and wondered if that great day would ever come when we would receive our diplomas and step out of our school life forever. The day that we all longed for has finally arrived. Of course, we are pleased with our accomplishment but mingled with this pleasure there is a touch of sad ' ness, also. We have suddenly come to the realisation that our high school days are ended. During these four years our life has been more or less routine in character. Our activities in school, both in the classroom and in extracurricular work, have been rather definitely mapped out for us. We were not called upon to assume nor did we care to assume to any large degree, at least, the responsibility for such activities. Now, we are going out into a world that we know little about from the stand-point of actual experience. We will come in contact with that part of the world which did not filter into our school life. We will make new friends and enter new communities, but our school day associations with our classmates, teach- ers, and friends will be placed on the highest pedestal of our memory and when life seems dreary or cares heavy, we will take them down, relive them and be strengthened by their memory. It is hard to express just what Medina High means to those of us who are leaving her doors this year, and it is still more difficult to try to pick out from the many events of the past years just those which means the most to all of us. In the future when we glance over our memory books and smile reminiscently as we think of long forgotten games, and dances, class parties, and pleasant class room incidents may we possess that vision, that freedom of thought, which Medina High school has striven to give us. In completing our high school course, we have availed ourselves of opportuni- ties which are the right of every boy and girl. The Nation has come to demand that at least a majority of its people shall have a high school education, thus pro- viding the intelligent citizenship necessary to insure the future welfare of our country and its institutions. As we leave high school, each going to his own work, we realize that hence- forth each must build for himself. We hope in the years to come we may build into our lives the virtues that are truly worth-while and that whatever else we may receive, as a result of our efforts, we may possess integrity, initiative, a sense of responsibility, reverence, and such other qualities as will enable us to achieve life in an abundant measure. If we, as a result of our high school training, can prove ourselves to be real men and women; prove ourselves to be successful as human beings, then, indeed, shall we have shown ourselves worthy of the honors bestowed upon us tonight. T wenty-One CLASS WILL Isabelle Simmerman, Cordon Kisner The Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1935.

We truly believe that the above bequests are made in accordance with the laws of this State County, and School — and so on this 31st day of May 1935, we set our seal on this document. SENIOR CLASS ’35. Twenty-Four SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY By Robert Wideman and Miriam Ferriman In June 1960 we set sail for London, England for the International Olympics which were being held there. After we had been on the ocean a couple of days, we discovered that the captain of the ship was Richard Gayer. Our surprise in ' creased when we found that Wayne Seller was first mate and Kenneth Siman, second mate. Among those on deck we were amazed to find several of our old Medina classmates. There was Mary Louise Long famed throughout England as the first woman ambassador from the United States. We also saw Junior Babcock, whose scientific discoveries have revolutionized the airplane industry. Later we ran into Mr. and Mrs. Jack Tompkins (nee Katherine Rodgers) who were bound for the same place that we were. Edward Navratil and Raymond Kesterson were our waiters. Dinner-dance music was played to the main dining ' salon by an orchestra made up of the following: orchestra director, Kenneth Foley; saxaphone player, Paul Hoffman; pianist, Alice Hartman;; trumpet player, Gordon Kisner; drummer, Paul Perkins; clarinet player, Melvin Gerspacher. After dinner we were entertained in the lounge by a duo of beautiful blues singers, Marion Horton and Olive Beedle, and the celebrated violinist, Maxine Snyder. While on board ship, our excellent radio dispatcher Paul Reuman picked up distress signals from an airplane. We were all tremendously excited and thrilled when we found that a new rocket ' driven ship was in distress and looking for a place to land. To our surprise we found that the pilot was Ramona Renner, who attempted to set a new record for a nomstop flight around the world. The night before we landed in Southampton, we were happy in being invited to the Captain’s Dinner. All the celebrities on board were called upon to add to the entertainment. Isabelle Simmerman, whose novels are more sensational than Gertrude Steine’s were (way back in 1935), read an extract from her latest work which had not yet been released by the publisher. The high point of the evening was a skit by th at welbknown impersonator, Pauline Hartell. We were also enter ' tained by our old favorite Pauline Hoff the comedienne. Then, before we had gotten our breath back we were taken to the height of hilarity by a brass band made up of a wash tub, played by Lillian Weber, a comb, played by Lillian Socha, and spoons, by Doris Everhard. We arrived in London after seven days on the water. Calling a taxi we dis ' covered the driver to be Edwin Piper. He drove us to the estate of Mr. and Mrs. Maynard Pelton, (nee Marjorie Bradley), multi millionaires, who had invited us to visit them. The following day we attended the Olympics. Upon reaching our seats, we found that the fifty ' yard dash had started. We were delighted to see Medina re- presented at the finish line by Bob Britt, first place, Mickey Kovic, second, and Virgil Mallery, third. Among the winners of other sports were Joseph Palker first prize for the boys’ swimming team and Isabelle West, first prize for the girls’ swimming team. Pole vaulting honors were taken by Earl Belak, the cup for the one hundred ' yard dash went to Leonard Lance. Quinton Thomas broke the world’s record for shot ' put, Homer Wolf held first place in wrestling, and the prize for the high jump went to Bob Grim. Among the crowd who attended this big event were Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Nichols (nee Jeanne Halderson), Edna Mae Roshon and Betty Harley, famous poets; Anna Mae Hance and Edith Kelbacher, famous on sfage and screen due to the talent of their director, Charles Ewing. We also saw Glenn Cover who has Twenty ' Five gained millions through horse racing, and Julia Kratzer who has even surpassed Miss Phillips in teaching History, Rosemary Weir and Doris McDermand inter- nationally famous designers of Paris were also there. In a front row was Merle Fredrick and Harold Holcomb, famous surgeons with their equally noted nurse, Ruth Benjamin. Others were Freda Kling, world-famous tap dancer, Isabelle Whit- ney, private secretary to the president of General Motors, and Eleanor Ganyard, president of the Cleveland Garden Club. The day before we left we visited one of England’s outstanding amusement parks, Eastwood Resort, of which Mr. and Mrs, William Eastwood (nee Lila Moore) are the proprietors. They told us that one of their outstanding events for the day was to be a beauty contest of red headed girls only. When the contest took place we found Margery Conkle, Dorothea Cowgill, and Ruth Frost among the beauties. The judges were Paul Baker, and Harold Jason. Shortly after we left England after having a wonderful trip, returning home delighted that the United States had won high honors in the Olympics. CLASS POEM High School Days Are O’er We, of the class of thirty-five Our tasks and joys have blended; Our schoolday thoughts have been to strive But now our tasks have ended. Now that high school days are o’er And are something of the past, We go ahead with more endeavor For our careers must last. Our commencement day has come But there is no need to fret, Our tasks add up into one grand sum And this, we shall ne’er regret. Edna Mae Roshon.

T wenty-Six CLASS HISTORY By Ruth Benjamin Thirteen years ago, on a bright September morning, Miss Ella was confronted with a large group of children, frightened and filled with wonder, who had been brought to kindergarden by their proud mammas. Undoubtedly she wondered what would become of this barbarous group. Promotion after promotion followed. Gradually we became a more settled group picking up a few members here, and dropping some there. During our fourth year we passed from the Lincoln to the Garfield Building. Here we were confronted with a new idea — that of departmental work — to which we gradually became accustomed. Soon our class was divided, part going to the high school in the 7 A grade, and the remaining part in the 8th grade and in the fall of 1931 we became “real” members of Medina High as overconfident “Freshies.” We were soon deprived of our conceit and were, in the next years, compelled to obey the rules of discipb ' ne of our institution. Our Junior year was glorified by two events, the editing of the “Medinian” and the JuniorSenior Banquet. As Seniors, many of our class have distinguished themselves in various activities. Some have become accomplished speakers, others talented musicians and members of the orchestra and band, and still others have found spectacular places in football, bas ' ketball, track, and baseball. We completed our Senior year with our amusing class play “Oh Professor!” Now as the door of this chapter of our lives closes behind us, we hope that our future careers will be a credit to the ones who deserve so much — our teachers and friends in Medina High School. CLASS SONG By Jeanne Halderson Tune — “Isle of Capri ” Medina High days will now soon be ended, And friends and teachers will bid fond farewell; The days of fun and work all are blended — On this thought we are so wont to dwell. Our football games and assemblies are over, We can no more sing those songs, yell those yells; As new Alumni we’re placed on the records — ’35’s class — “outstanding” and “swell” (?) High school days are over for us — What holds Fate for us in store? Will success or failure greet us? Life full of joy and gladness brimming o’er. Upon Life’s journey we now are commencing, And tho’ we drift far apart we will see Our friends and classmates and teachersTorever Brought to mind by our fond memories. T wenty-Seven SENIOR CLASS PLAY “OH, PROFESSOR” A Farce in Three Acts by Katharine Kavanaugh Cast of Characters Jake, the school janitor Robert Widerrum Miss Jane Frederick, the assistant Dean Jean Halderson Dr. Aristotle, the Dean = Paul Reuman Connie, student Margery Con le Dorothy, student Margery Bradley Jean, student Ramona Renner Betty, student .’ Isabelle West Michael Pemberton, just returned from Paris Kenneth Foley Professor Percival Courtwright, professor of Astrnomy Paul Huffman Jimmy Anderson, Michael’s friend Dic Gayer Patricia Patterson, a former student Mary Louise Long Mademoiselle Fifi, a French actress Maxine Snyder SYNOPSIS OF SCENES ActI — An informal study hall in the Brixton Academy during the summer school term. One morning in spring. Act II — The same. An hour later. Act III — The same. Late afternoon. THE PLOT The comedy in this 3 act farce is supplied by the complications that arise when the dashing young Michael Pemberton poses as a professor of Astronomy in a girls academy to escape the clutches of a snappy little French actress. His sweetheart to his surprise is one of the students, and when a rather harum-scarum friend of his disguises himself as a girl in the chool, the situa- tion becomes very involved. Soon, however, the difficulties become untangled and all ends happily.

JUNIOR CLASS PARTY On the evening of February twentieth, the Junior Class turned out for a frolic in honor of George Washington. Games were played, many paying due respect to our most illustrious statesman. We danced to tuneful music furnished by the courtesy of Hartman’s orchestra and, then, not the least of the evening’s high spots, were the refreshments which wound up a most enjoyable party. — (Nancy Anderson. SOPHOMORE CLASS PARTY Nearly everyone in the Sophomore A and Junior B class came to the class party which was held on Valentine evening, February fourteenth. The stage was decorated with red paper hearts which covered the walls and hung on strings from the ceiling. The colored lights added to the beauty of the effect. We played a few games until everyone arrived. A breath taking Virginia Reel followed the Grand March. The rest of the evening we danced. The girls noticed a marked improvement since the last party in the boys’ dancing. They didn’t trip over their partners ' feet quite as much as formerly. About 10 o’clock we had refreshments: candy hearts, cake, cocoa, and ice cream. After a few more dances the party broke up much to everyone’s regret. — Evelyn Deyell. FRESHMAN CLASS PARTY The Freshman Class Party was held on February twenty ' eighth, at 7:30 o’clock. Miss Thomas, the very capable chairman of the Entertainment Committee, started things off with a bang by directing us in several snappy games. After the games the alluring strains of Blanchard’s Band induced even the timid Freshman B’s to dance. When our toes couldn’t stand any more we were served delicious desert, cake and ice cream. Then after a few more waltzes, we left for home sweet home and bed! — Jean Diebel. Twenty-?s[ine GIRL RESERVES President Vice-President Treasurer Secretary Isabelle Simmerman Maxine Snyder Romona Renner Jeannette Hammett Last semester work in Girl Reserves was divided into three groups under the supervision of the following: Handicraft instructor, Mrs. Mansell; Ideals instructor, Miss Wright; Music instructor, Mary Pelton. This semester we have tried to work out two new ideas. We have been working on a gypsy program, directed by Mrs. Chandler, our new adviser this year and we have been working, also, on the Big and Little Sister idea. New comers are little sisters of the girls who have been in the club longer. April 4th the girls of the club invited their mothers to the Mother and Daughter Banquet held at the Church of Christ. The speaker of the evening was Miss Parmen- ter, Director of Social Activities at West Technical High School in Cleveland, who spoke on “Values.” We have had a successful turnout this year and we hope to have an even better one in 1936. — Loretta Frost. HI Y President Kenneth Foley Secretary-Treasurer John Rollins The Hi ' Y group this year was composed of forty-odd members under the leader ship of Mr. Fenn and Mr. Claggert. Habits and leisure time were the subject of discussion at the meetings. Four delegates attended the Ohio State Older Boys’ Conference at Marietta. They were: Mikey Kovic, Harold Nosker, Raymond Mellert, and Sidney Rickard. Each one, upon his return, gave a short talk on his activities and the lectures he had at ' tended at the conference. This year the Medina Hi ' Y started a Medina Hi ' Y chain of get-together parties. First Medina invited the Lodi and Wadsworth groups. Then we in turn, were invited there for a supper, games, and a short devotional period. Several trips added interest to the year’s program. And last but not least, a final end-year party was held at Camp Crag, May 17th. Kenneth Foley.

On February twentieth, however, we forgot our work and had a elass Party honoring George Washington. Appropriate decorations and games abounded. There was dancing to the tune of Hartmans’ Band, followed by delightful refreshments. Then our boys showed their superior athletic ability by winning the interclass basketball tournament. We are looking forward to the Junior-Senior Banquet that will soon take place, during which time the Juniors will give the Seniors a hearty “send off.’’ We have selected the class ring for the graduating class of ’36. It is a plain, but beautiful ring, having the Medina High School crest as the signet and 1936 in modernistic design on the band. After weeks of patient toil and hard work, the class of ’36, led by Jane Foote, produced this annual. Our competent Class Officers, who have given their valuable time to lead this class are: President, Ted Blakeslee; Vice-President, Jim Chandler; Seeretary and Treas- urer, Loretta Frost.

There are still a few stones, though, to be climbed over before we can claim the coveted title of “upper ' classmen” and we all realize that, to accomplish this, each one must do his part. We are quite proud of our athletic and musical contributions and expect to achieve new honors through them in the next two years. At our last class meeting, which we held early in the semester, the following officers were elected: President, Charles Ziegler; ViceTresident, May Batchelder, and Secretary -Treasurer, Helen Wainwright.

As “Freshies” and Sophomores we are now successfully started on the rough and rocky road to gradua- tion. By the time it rolls around we will have contributed our share of fame, pep, talent, and mischief to M. H. S. We have some people of exceptional ability in athletics as well as in music. From the class of ’38, including about eighty girls and boys, we are looking forward to some amazing results.

Now that he has sufficiently sharpened our wits he has turned us over to Mr. Kellogg for a final grinding. At present we find ourselves fulbfledged Freshmen slowly and surely making a niche for ourselves in the Medina High School. The Class held a Saint Patrick’s party on March 7. We played games and danced (all except some of the more bashful boys) to the music of Ted Blanchard’s orchestra. This was our first step toward the social independence of High School. By Dotty Foote.

Freshman: Pete Bocko, Fred Fetter, Nelson Foster, Kelly Reed, Floyd Morris and Wilbur Pincombe. VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE NOTES By Edgar Watkins The purpose of the Vocational Agriculture course is to interest the student in the field of agriculture and to inform him of the many opportunities in this work. Medina High School offers a four year course in Agriculture and one of Farm Shop. Each student carries at home some project related to his school work in Agriculture. This year thirty-four boys are taking the course. The Junior and Seniors are studying Agriculture Engineering with Soils and Management planned for the next year while the Freshmen and Sophomores are studying Farm Crops and Horticulture and will take Animal Husbandry and Poultry the next term. The boys have a number of activities in which they may participate, some of which are: exhibiting their products at both the County and State Fair, trying for various judging teams which go to Ohio State University and the State Fair, buying chicks, feed, and potatoes co- operatively, and each year a summer tour is taken. This year a trip is planned up through the North Eastern part of the United States and New York City. Most of these activities are sponsored under the name of the Future Farmers of America which is a national organi- zation of Vocational Agriculture students. The Medina chapter has an enrollment of twenty- eight members. The officers this year are: Robert Wideman, President; Robert Clark, Vice- President; Paul Perkins, Secretary; Kenneth Foley, Treasurer; and Jim Chandler, Reporter. Last year Ralph Kilmer, Clair Fulton, and Paul Perkins received the highest state honor in the F. F. A., namely, that of State Farmer. This year Robert Wideman, Robert Clark, and Jim Chandler were nominated to receive this degree. Thirty -Five SNAP SHOTS ’35 ‘Thirty-Six ORCHESTRA By Jane Thompson The orchestra has weathered the storm this year in exceptionally good form, due to the increased interest and number of its members. Ably led by Miss Adkins, it has played for numerous assembly programs, before the Medina Kiwanis Club and for the Senior Class Play. HIGH SCHOOL BAND The newly organized band has been quite active this year. It has played for the football games, marching in true Medina style. It also played several times before the assembly and for the basketball games. There is nothing like a snappy band to create school spirit and that is just what our band has done. Mr. Bart, the excellent conductor, should be justly proud of his efforts.

Lost 5 Tied 1 Total 95 71 Medina started the season of 1934 with only four lettermen, Grim, Nichols, Thomas, and Frederick. In spite of this handicap the team succeeded in winning the Northeastern League Championship, which no other Medina team has been able to do. Those receiving letters for the season of 1934 are: Grim, Kisner, Palker, Nichols, Thomas, Wideman, Britt, Eastwood, Babcock, Frederick, Crum, Crocker, Foster, Hertel and Overholt. CLASS OF ’35 G. Co ' Captain Grim — It was under Bob’s capable leadership that we managed to win the championship. This was Bob’s third year on the varsity. L. T. Co ' Captain 7s[ichols — “Elm” steadied the line and nothing ever went past him. The squad will miss him. F. B. Thomas — “Si” a third year man scored the touchdown against New Lorn don on a pass from Grim. R. H. Kisner — Kisner had his day at New London and returned one punt after another for long gains. L. H. Palmer — Joe was a great blocker and also carried the ball for gains on off tackle plays. R. T. Britt — Bob, an aggressive tackier, played a steady game each week and not much yardage was gained over his territory. L. G. Wideman — Bob succeeded in making the varsity his first year, which is quite an achievement. T. Frederic — Merle was a valuable addition to the squad because of his ability to play either tackle or guard. G. Babcoc — Junior was a senior who has been out since his freshman year. His presence on the squad will be missed. C. Eastwood — Bill was our only extra center. He is another of the old stand-bys. CLASS OF ’36 C. Crum — Wayne was our regular center this year and proved to be a good one. R. G. Crocker — Bill was the Poe boy on the squad. Poe has furnished many of Medina’s great football players. G. Overholt — “Milt” is a good steady player who can always be depended upon. He still has another year. R. E. Foster — “Fuzz,” a good end, should be a great one by his Senior year. L. H. Hertel — Wilbur is a big Sophomore who has made a regular place for him- self.

Then the inevitable happened and we lost our only veterans with the approach of our heaviest game of the season against Amherst. This game and all the rest during the season were lost even though the boys put up a good, hard, clean fight. Every one of those boys fought with all his might and strove for victory, but the teamwork which comes with experience was missing, so the battle was slowly but surely lost to the enemy. However, bright hopes are ahead for M. H. S. as she has a very promising light ' weight team of Sophomores with two lettermen, Betz and Wolery, for next year and in the near future they should be “World Beaters.” By Max Whitmore. Forty -Two BOB GRIM —Guard Grim has played regular for three years and finally ended his brilliant career at the fated mid ' semester. He was our main cog on defense and spoiled many “perfect” plays for the opponents. We have missed him and his steady playing since he left. GORDON KISNER — Forward Kisner is another of our lettcrmen who came back for only a halTyear. He was the higlvpoint m an, for the time he played, by a large margin. In his last game he scored 12 points against New London. His place will be hard to fill. CARLISLE BETZ — Forward This was “Betz’s” first year on the Varsity but he came through like a veteran. He had the old fight (sometimes a little too much) that it takes to win and M. H. S. will be very sorry to lose him. EDWARD NAVRATIL — Center “Eddie” has played his first and last year at center for us and many times he dragged us from a hole with one of those overhead shots of his. We’ll have to hunt a long time to find a man with the size and merits that Eddie has. BOB BRITT — Guard “Bob” was our mainstay on defense, Britt certainly had the spirit of the game in him. He played hard, clean ball from the start to finish and the vacancy he leaves will be a tough one to fill next year. MEREL W OLER Y — Guard Merel was our regular guard when Grim left and he had a hard place to fill. He did it to perfection and as he has another year to play we will expect great deeds to come from his position next season. RALPH ADAMS — Forward “Pee ' Wee” was a very progressive player and could be depended upon in a pinch. He didn’t have much chance to show his ability because of lack of experience. Ralph will be a great asset to the team if we have him next year. MAX WHITMORE — Forward This was Max’s first year on the Varsity. He is small but mighty and he played with a spirit to win. Though he has only half a year more with M. H. S. he should put a winning spirit into the rest of the team. (By Adams.) LIGHTWEIGHTS We had a good lightweight team this year and they acquired a lot of experience. John Sprankle, Odell Leyda, Richard Sprankle, Charles Ziegler, Bill Conkle, and Marvin Lutz make up this squad and they all have two more years to play. Coach Masi holds high hopes for these boys and they show promise of becoming a charm pionship team within the next two years. Forty-Three TRACK By ' Wayne Crum In spite of the fact that there aren’t any lettermen back from last year, the track squad for 1935 looks very promising. So far they haven ' t taken part in any meets but they are practising hard for the annual league meet which comes May 14. The squad is under the direction of Mr. Claggett and Mr. Masi. The members of the track squad are listed below: CANFIELD -TOO yd. dash, 220 yd. dash, relay. REUMAN — high jump, pole vault. HERTEL — high jump, shot put, Yl mile run. BRITT — mile run, 440 yd. dash. CRUM- — pole vault. WOLERY— shot put. WIDEMAN — javelin, 440 yd. dash. FOSTER — 100 yd. dash, 220 yd. dash. PALKER — discus, shot put. BABCOCK — dashes, relay. FOOTE — 440 yd. dash. PLANTS— dashes. ZIEGLER — 100 yd. dash, 220 yd. dash. Forty-Four ATHLETIC NIGHT ATHLETIC NIGHT AT MEDINA HIGH SCHOOL For the last four years we have had an Athletic Night at Medina High School. Each year the number of people attending it increases and this year two nights were needed to accommodate everyone. It was given the twenty-ninth and thirtieth of March. This annual sport night is under the direction of Miss Edith Allen, girls’ gym instructor and Athletic coach, and Mr. Sam Masi, boys’ gym instructor and Athletic coach. Each year they strive to put on a better performance than the preceeding year. There are ladders, pyramids, rings, stunts, games, and specialties. Clifford Parsons. Forty-Five GIRLS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL By Dragina Kovic The past Basketball season had been a most successful one. Out of twelve games played, eight were won. The teams fought hard, consistently, and were not afraid to tackle good teams. Despite the fact that the season had four defeats, the girls had the Medina High School spirit and cooperation it takes to create a successful season. Much of the glory of the past victorious season belongs to Coach Allen, a woman who is ever loyal, hard-working, and competent. She moulded a team that was able to meet and overcome all obstacles. Had it not been for Miss Allen’s ability no such team could have been developed. We owe much to our Basketball Coach. Forward WEST Class of ’35 “Honorary Captain” “Issy’s” great game this year placed the last brilliant hue on her colorful court career at Medina. A skillful, tireless forward with an uncanny faculty for finding the basket every second of a game, she retires from four Varsity years of service with the praises of all followers of basketball ringing in her ears. “Issy” is regarded as one of Medina’s greatest basketball players of all time. She has been honored by being named the Honorary Captain for the year. Forty ' Six Center BRADLEY Class of ’35 Mar jorie’s height -made her extremely valuable to the team, both on defense and offense. Her uncanny shooting pulled several games out of the fire in the last minutes of play. Guard RENNER Class of ’35 Ramona was a remarkable defensive player and broke up many of her opponents’ plays. She could always be counted on to do her share and always came through in the pinches. Guard CONKLE Class of ’35 Marge’s perserverance and acuracy has accounted in many cases for the success of her team. We’ll truly miss her good sportmanship. Guard WHITNEY Class of ’35 Whitney was quick to analyze a play, ever thinking in basketball terms and ab ways fast on her feet. She played a consistent whirlwind game in every contest. Guard BENJAMIN Class of ’3 5 Ruth was a dependable guard, a good trainer, and a willing worker. She gave her best in faithful service to her team. Forward SOCHA Class of ' 35 Speed enabled her to elude her guard and break under the basket where she gained most of her points. She is known for her consistency and thorough knowledge of the game. Forward KOVIC Class of ’36 ’’Drag’s” playing was little short of sensational at times. Her difficult shots from the side of the court were uncanny. She was one of the meteors of the team. Guard EMERSON Class of ’36 Although Pauline didn’t get into action this year, she has learned the fundamentals of the game, so that she should be heard from next year. Forward PRITCHARD Class of ’36 Helen is one of the most promising forwards. She can always be depended upon to play a steadfast game. Forty ' Sevrn Guard RYAN Class of ’36 Mary has possibilities of becoming one of Medina’s most stellar guards, if she combines experience with her height, aggressiveness, and dependability. Guard PINCOMBE Class of ’36 “Pinks” fakes and dribbles seemed to always mislead her bewildered opponents. Because of her unusual cooperative spirit we always could rely upon her to do her bit. Guard WILLIAMS Class of ’37 She is especially marked for her efficiency in holding good forwards to a small score. Williams is famed for her action and quick thinking. Forward HERTHNECK Class of ’37 Jier work as a Sophomore promises good things. She has been loyal in her service to the Green and White. Forward MELLERT Class of ’37 Helen has the vim, vigor, and vitality, so she should develop into a good player. Forward SNYDER Class of ’37 Mary is not a big player but she should be equal to any in nerve and fight, with some years of playing. Center EVERHARD Class of ’37 By steady and hard work, she should become a good player. Miss Adkins: “What purpose does the bridge serve on your violin?” June Crocker: “Oh, that’s to get my music across.” Mr. Claggett: “It is the law of gravity that keeps us on earth.” Alice: “How did we stick before the law was passed?” Criticised for addressing his employer as Mr. ’Arrison, an East end Londoner remarked: “Well, if a haitch, and a hay, two hars, and a hi and a hess, a ho, and a hen, don’t spell ’Arrison, I don’t know what does.” Mr. Claggett: “What is a polygon?” Elsie Ann: “A polygon is a dead parrot.” Forty ' Eight 4B Adams, Ralph Anderson, Nancy Beshire, Martha Chandler, Jim Emerson, Pauline Ferriman, Claude Foote, Jane Kovic, Dragina McFadden, Douglas Mosgrove, Hazel Nichols, Junior Oberholtzer, Clarke Rutledge, Betty Selzer, Merle Shirey, Harvey Smith, Gaylord Smith, Thurman Stine, Elsie Ann Wass, Donald 3A Adams, Alice Bair, Vivian Betz, Carlisle Blakeslee, Ted Close, Trueman Crum, Wayne Culp, Thelma Effinger, Marguerite Ewing, Louise Frost, Edna Mae Frost, Loretta Fulling, Hazel Gage, Claudine Ganyard, Georgialee Gayer, Ella Hamlin, Howard Hammett, Jeanette Hance, Calleen Jakab, Elizabeth Kuntz, Ella Lawrence, Charles Letterly, Floyd Mathews, Jean McFadden, Max McMillan, Priscilla Mellert, Raymond Mersing, Morris Miller, Leola Morris, Evelyn CLASS ROLLS Nosker, William Nosker, Harold O’Brien, Helen Overholt, Milton Parsons, Clifford Pincombe, Lorena Whitmore, Max Piper, Dorothy Pritchard, Helen Raasch, Eileen Rickard, Lucille Rickard, Sidney Rickert, Fern Ryan, Mary Jane Stone, Bert Theede, Chester Varisco, Martin Warkins, Edgar Whitfield, Clayton 3B Clark, Robert Crocker, Leonard Crocker, Willard Fuller, Alice Gardner, William Komjati, Paul McClain, Robert Mellert, Delos Paul, George Pelton, Daniel Pritchard, Buddy Ryan, Betty Jane Schmidt, Esabelle Smith, Lloyd Stackhouse, Doris Thompson, Jane Thompkins, Betty Vereb, Paul Wainwright, Helen Welton, Vesta Williams, Margaret Wolery, Merel Wolf, Walter 2A Baines, Nancy Batchelder, May Baumgartner, Ivan Beck, Eugene Bennett, Billie Canfield, Charles Conkle, William Crocker, June Deyell, Evelyn Doane, Marjorie Dolejs, Charles Everhard, Romona Fettler, John Fisher, Giles Flood, Lavina Fodor, John Foote, Irving Fulton, Ruth Gerspacher, Dorothy Heller, Estella Herthneck, Lucille Holcomb, Esther Hunter, Miriam Kerch, Arlene Kreiger, Robert Kruggel, Althea Kvarda, Jane Letterly, Maynard Lyon, Faye Mellert, Helen Myers, Rolland Navratil, Mildred Neiswinter, Wilma Nettleton, Jack Promey, Leo Renner, Rosalie Rickert, Virgil Rollins, John Selzer, Mary Smithberger, Walter Snyder, Mary Spahr, Ruth Spencer, Jack Sprankle, Richard Sviatka, Mary Wagar, Fern West, Leonard Widmer, Violet Wolfe, Grace Woods, Ruth Ziegler, Charles 2B Anderson, James Arndt, Jane Bowman, Helen Clark, Alda Forty ' ] [ine A Cosoleto, Santa Drogell, Paul Eden, Ida Mae Ewing, Helen Fischer, Raymond Foster, Nelson Gibbs, Mary Gill, Jean Gunkelman, Alverta Hammerschmidt, R.
