Hilarious games — Dancing to Hartman ' s music — Party broke up at 11:45 — Pretty late for Freshmen(?)

WE ' RE ALL EYES AND EARS March 16 — Junior class presented a movie entitled Abraham Lincoln” — also a “Felix the Cat comedy which sent the kiddies into stitches. Something new in assembly programs Miriam Gibbs and Miriam Brainerd do a flute duet. Mr. Thompson and Bob Hartman, virtuosos of the violin, pl.iy a duet Dick Longaere and Jay Einhart furnish trumpet harmony The versatile Mr. Thompson again, Richard Ziegler, Max Burnham, and Ronny Tollafield play their clarinets- We re a mine of talent. April 1, 1 938 Frye, the World Tra- veled Magician, appeared in Medina High on the evening of April Fool ' s Day He surely had the audience going around in circles — Jim Armstrong was the brave lad who had his head chopped off to all appearances! Yep, folks he was ' veddy ' good! Mr. Kellogg ' s humor popped out in as- sembly the other day He got the boys’ chorus on the stage, the Boswell Sisters of Medina High, and a few faculty mem- bers, though one failed to show up — Af- ter the group had been more or less thrown together they came forth with a hold your breath — it was “Tell Me Why — Congratulations faculty and choristers But we have yet to hear one of the ' Jones’ boys’ singing a solo in his famous tenor voice — Mr. Kellogg, Mr. Sam Xlasi, our singing troubadour, Bob Lincoln, and Harold Smithberger formed a quartet. Choosing a class play caused much ex- citement for a while Every aspiring act- or and actress (and the school ' s full of them!) stayed awake nights wondering if he or she would be chosen — You’ll find the names of the bright stars of this year ' s play, The Whole Town’s Talk- ing, further along in this volume.” April 8 and 9 — Athletic Night was a great success this year. Were you there? Our coaches Miss Allen and Mr. Masi, and their cohorts outdid themselves— An orehid to Miss Spencer and the art de- partment for that backdrop! That ' s all! Fourteen
