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. Thirty
