GETTING IDEAS

EDITOR’S NOTE For the past few years, we have been through an era called a depression, which we will remember as a time when we could not go to the movies as trequenay, nor could we live as ‘ high” as we had in the past. We felt this era just as closely in our school life as we did in our home life. The schools cut their staffs to a minimum, everyone shouldered an extra load, and everything was omitted but the barest necessities. Music had to be given up as a curricular subject. But in order that it should not be entirely left out, it was kept alive by teachers willing to give their time to help others gain an appreciation of music. In the high school, some sports were done away with, because of the load of the faculty and students and the lack of interest and competition in this and surround ' ing schools. Yes, we all felt the depression. But now times have changed and we are on our way out of the shadows. This year music was returned to the curriculum, and the enthusiasm it met is shown in the size of the orchestra and band, and in the operetta. Everybody, whether directly connected with one of these organizations or not, welcomed the return of music. Track and baseball are back, and though the meets and games are few, it is a start toward the revival of two exciting sports. We’ve had hard luck in our sports in the last two years, but win or lose, Medina High School has always shown a fine standard of sportsmanship, highly regarded by other schools whose athletic teams we have encountered. Now we can forget the luck of the past and look ahead, while each individual makes sure that Medina High School continues to be a leader among Class A schools, both in curricular activb ties and sportsmanship.

M CLASS PROPHECY Although we are just Freshies and considered “green,” we are sure we will have contributed our “bit” to high school fame at the end of four years. Also, we have a lot of good school workers, and you will probably find many IB ' s on the honor roll. We prophesy that you’ll find our class will stand high all through high school. Ten M £ D N N
