CLASS PRESIDENT The office of the class president is one that de ' mands among many things, a pleasing personality and scholastic ability, and no one could have filled this office better than Bruce has. His work in all his classes has been good and his attitude is such that any teacher en- joys having him. However Bruce’s interests are not all centered about his class work, but are varied a great deal. He also has a keen sense of humor and believes that “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” He likes fun along with his work and has the ability to get fun out of work. An example of this is his interest in photography which has developed in connection with the course in physics. This serves him as an interesting and worthwhile hobby. Another of Bruce ' s interests is in the musical field. He enjoys music and has taken part in our band, or- chestra, and glee club, and his place as drum major in our band will be a difficult one to fill next year as well as he has filled it. In addition to these musical activities Bruce has also had a leading part in operettas given at Medina High School and has shown splendid ability along these lines. Another phase of school life in which he has taken an active part is athletics. He has come out for track each year and, although he never made the team, he has been a reserve for boys ' basketball. And so, summing up all these things, we find that Bruce has the qualities and the ability that make for leadership and success. Bruct Hartman — M — “Through our four years of high school we have not only attained knowledge but companionship, respect, teamwork, and a sense of responsibility. Everyone of us has gained something from school although he may not realize it now. As life goes on, we shall realize that this four year period was not wasted. There is a need in the world to-day for a stabilizing influence. Mob psychology does not apply to an educated person but to those who are unable to think for themselves. We need people who will not be swayed by every little gust of propaganda but will weigh the question carefully before taking sides. If everyone was educated and obeyed the Ten Commandments there would would be no such thing as war, strikes, and crime. The community of which we are a product has developed our education through a good library, good schools, variety of study, athletic and social activities. It is the co- operation of these forces that have trained us. We owe the community much and in return we shall give it loyalty and good citizenship. We hope to make the Class of ’38 an outstanding chapter in the History of Me- dina High School.” - — Bruce Hartman Twenty-Eight
