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. Twenty-Eight

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

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
