Earl Belak bequeaths his perfectly good American History book to Miss Phillips, to replace the one that was “snitched.” Olive Beedle presents Helen O’Brien with 15 of her 50 lbs., in the hopes that Helen can use this extra weight to a better advantage. Maxine L. Snyder relinquishes her emotional instability to Georgialee Ganyard, to be used when entertaining not less than five boy friends at once. Marjorie Bradley bequeaths to Jeannette Hammett her exceptionally stupendous, colossal, and gigantic genius to hit — and hold — all high notes (and stuff) . Merle Frederick provides that his manual training talent goes to Leon Plants. Mary Louise Long is favorably disposed in granting that she relinquish by legal document her multitudinous vocabulary to Mary Alice Gibbs — if she will not use the words promiscuously. Wayne Selzer desires to leave his right to use Smith Road (during school hours) to any jealous Freshman. Elmer Nichols gives his foresight in removing the “Gas Co. Insignia” from the spare tire of his car when he goes “certain Places” to any on-coming Romeo. Gordon Kisner wills his childish tricks to William Gardner. Paul Baker gracefully bequeaths Irving Foote his bashfulness, hoping that it will tame him, somewhat. Glenn Cover will convey his radio aptitudes to tune in static to any amateur Sopho- more. Ruth Frost authorizes us (her attorneys-at-law) to offer her habit of grave-gazing and ghost-craving to some fair maiden who stands not in fear of mice — and ghosts. 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 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
