The football team and the Marching Band had been practicing since the middle of August for the oncoming football season. The team played its opener at Wads- worth; and even though we were defeated 6-0, we still look forward to a successful season. As usual, the first few days were hectic, with the ever-present locker problems and schedule changes. The sophomores proved true to form with their looks of bewilderment, characteristic of a class beginning its first year at M. H. S. For the first time in our history, free MEDINAMITES were dis- tributed following the assembly held on the first day of school. Inspired, either by the long victory drought or the colos- sal pep rally last night, the football team proved too much | for the outclassed Dukes. Brown, Swingle, and Wells crossed the goal to make the score 16 to 6. With the first victory under our belts we are counting the days till we meet Fairview. At three o’clock today our vivacious cheerleaders called us to assembly. In an attempt to in- spire or scare us on to another victory, they depicted cheerlead- ers from different parts of the world. As a result of crowd-backing and hard work our team proved tonight that the Wellington vic- tory was no fluke, for they com- bined an outstanding offense with a solid defense, tonight, to defeat the Fairview Warriors. Medina scored three times as Swingle, Dudas, and Fenn elec- trified the fans with their devast- ing plays to make the score 18-12. September 20th, I journeyed with the Marching Band to the Akron Rubber Bowl for the annual Acme-Zip game. We were asked to put on a show along with bands from Tallmadge, Coventry, Sebring and Alliance. I'm sure our band will never forget the outstanding per- formance of the famous Massillon High School Swingsters, nor will the spectators forget the Gershwin Show as rendered by our Musical Bees. Our new head football coach, Jim Currens, seems to be all fired up with spirit and enthusiasm and is doing a fine job of sparking enthusiasm within the squad. Mr. Currens began his athletic career as an All-State Halfback during his senior year in Loudonville, Ohio. In addition to football he played guard on his high school basketball team and second base on the baseball team. Currens was also an outstanding member of the track team, taking part in the 100 yard dash, pole vaulting, and hurdles. He chose to enter the coaching field while at Baldwin-Wallace where he was again active in football and track, and added wrestling. In.addition to his coaching duties at Medina, Mr. Currens instructs boys physical education classes and handles Drivers Education work. classes had the privilege of visiting Stan Hywet, Twenty-five G.L.C. girls were snatched out of bed this morning between five and seven to begin their annual initiation. All of the new members were blindfolded and dragged to breakfast at the home of Norma Lehman. During the day the girls had to be very friendly with a “Hi” for everyone they met. This school spirit carried over to our rousing pep assembly in the afternoon, and migrated with us to North Olmsted for the game this evening. The running and plunging Bees tingled all over with that unfamiliar sensation of being in a two- way tie for first place with Oberlin in the Southwestern Conference as a result of winning a 14-0 upset. After the game, G.L.C. continued its initiation at the home of Linda Kolb; and, from the rumors, I understand some of the new members weren’t too happy.

Coach Platz gained some of his athletic experience while in high school at New Philadelphia and Midvale, where he was an outstanding athlete in football, baseball, and basketball. After high school, Coach Platz attended Baldwin-Wallace and Kent State, where he again was active in football and varsity baseball. His teaching career began at Dundee where he taught biology, bookkeeping, sociology, and economics along with coaching baseball, and basketball. Spending four years at Brunswick, he taught business law, bookkeeping, first aid, and health; and he coached basketball for four years and saw duty as varsity baseball and assistant football coach. The “Beehive” was buzzing today, as the “rags-to-riches” Bees prepared to tangle with the Westlake Demons. The G.L.C. was also buzzing as it humorously predicted a victorious outcome of the game with a take-off on a well-known recording of a “hillbilly” witnessing his first football game. Unfortunately, the Bees’ winning streak was broken in an exciting, slam-bang contest. The game was much harder played and closer than the final score 30-16 indicated, with breaks playing a big part in three of the six touchdowns marked up by both teams. Next Friday will be the Homecom- ing game against Bay. There is no doubt that the Bees will go all out to blast the “Rockets.” SIERE With the anticipation of Home- coming the band had to turn its thoughts to the third annual Medina County Bandorama. Tonight, along with seven other bands, our band presented a half- time show entitled “Sacks Appeal.” Under the direction of guest conduc- tor, Ernest Manring, the seven bands combined to play “Stars and Stripes Forever” and “The Victors” for the finale. To conclude the evening, the band and their dates held a party in the cafeteria. Drum major Charlie Rolling and his majorettes Judie Linder, Sandy Spencer, Nancy Smith, Donna Hipp, Brenda Hubal, and Marcia Clark. Working together for a successful year, the Senior Council, officers, and advisors have planned many fund-raising activities. You can usually see a senior selling dinner tickets, candy, or cards to help supply money for his New York trip. Something new has been added to senior pages in the form of descriptive paragraphs that will replace the senior directory. As you will soon notice, it will be hard for you to forget your friends’ birthdays again, for along with the pictures and paragraphs are the birthdates of each senior. JIM AUKER December 24, 1941 Jim Auker, better known as “Auk” to most of us, was most active in football and basketball while in high school. All four of his years were devoted to football, but unfortunately due to a broken arm, he spent his sophomore year as manager. He participated in basket- ball his first two years and was manager while a junior. Jim took part in Mixed Chorus his freshman year and the following year was a member of Choir.

Among our visitors were Wil- liam Ayres, John Brown, Charles Mapes, and Charles Courtney. The Republicans won by a landslide as a remarkable total of 96 per cent of the student body turned out to cast their votes. A bubbling witch’s pot greeted the student body this afternoon as several lovely witches tried to brew up a victory. -The ingredients were spirit- ed rooters, music, cheerleaders, coaches, and players. Unfortunately, the brew wasn’t po- tent enough, for Medina fell prey to River, 51-12. This loss dropped the Bees into third place in the South- western Conference, the highest the Bees have finished in several years. Raising over eight hundred dollars for instruments and uniforms was the Tag Day achievement of the Marching Band. This is how it was done. Not to be outdone because of Halloween, the band fol- lowed true to form with a dazzling half-time show. Fea- turing special lighting effects, the majorettes performed in the “dark” with their fluorescent hats and batons. Another unusual number was the band vocalizing to “Silvery Moon.” As a ghostly climax, a fluorescent skele- ton was assembled to the tune of “Dry Bones.” Ron Popiel holds his prize-winning cher- ry pie that he baked in our annual contest. Runners-up were Bob Molnar and Ethel Freese. 45 46 The class of 1960 spent the majority of its time working in the concession stand and planning for the Junior-Senior Prom. It was an eventful year for them as they received their class rings, produced a beautiful Homecoming float, and became well-adjusted in their second year of high school. They were under the guidance of Mr. Showalter, Mrs. Teagarden, Mr. Demuth, Miss Farmer, and Mr. Brewer. The junior class officers are Sally Schmidt, Vice-President; Hal Nichols, President; Shirley Jones, Secretary; Bill Batchelder, Student Council Representative; and Cynthia Wildman, Treasurer.

These people gathered to pay tribute to the team that compiled the best green and white record since 1952. The banquet was sponsored by the Rotary and Boosters Clubs. First-year players were presented with letters, while second year letter winners were awarded gold footballs. Four players won their letters for the third consecutive year and were pre- sented small trophies. Also presented troph- ies were four seniors who had not accum- ulated enough playing time to earn a letter. First Row: Whitney, Chidsey, Condren, Popiel, Wells, Swingle, Goulding, Brown, Tubbs, Auker, Lash. Second Row: Coach Miller, Jenny, Sgro, Nichols, Kennedy, Hertel, Molnar, Fenn, Ring, Berry, Thomas. Third Row: Burton, Smith, Palker, Oberholtzer, McCarthy, Hamrick, Purdum, Fodor, Grey, McClain, Sorensen. Absent: Dudas, Freese. The big moment came when the trophies for the most outstanding performances were presented. Those receiving trophies were Darrel Ruder, outstanding freshman; Jerry Condren, best defensive player; Ron Brown, most improved player, and Bob Swingle, most valuable player. The team presented gifts -to all of the coaches. Bob Swingle was chosen to the Southwest- ern All Conference team as an offensive half- back, while Ron Brown, Jerry Condren, and Norm Goulding were chosen to the defensive team. Walt Chidsey received honorable men- tion. Congratulations to the Dramatics Club cast and crew for their presentation tonight of “Room For One More.” The play concerned itself with the Rose family who lived in the “Pumpkin Shell” on the New Jersey coast. Featured in the cast were Bette Blakslee as mother, Brian McCarthy as Joey, and Jeanne Kubis and Tom Sigafoos as two of the adopted children. Others taking part in the play were Greg Winter, Sharole Seeley, Maurita Patry, Nancy Smith, Diane Flynn, Diana Cowling, Randy Roeper, and icay Orr. Much of the play’s success was due to the fine direction of our newly hired drama coach, Harold Showalter. Working with him were John Insprucker, set supervisor; Norma Lehman, student director; and Kay Whisler, stage manager. To publicize the play this past week, the cast and crew members wore armbands giving their on-stage or backstage titles. Mr. Arbuckle presented a most entertaining and amusing assembly about his travels told in story form. The student body inspired by Mr. Demuth and the MEDIN- IAN staff, brought about a most successful magazine sales cam- paign. Floyd Barr led the way as high salesman. 53 Tae) Hey DA AOA ¢ ys Our basketball team got off to a rousing start as we defeated Leroy and ran away from Fairview before being stopped by North Olmsted on their floor. The Bees delighted the home crowd in their 1958 debut by knocking off a tough Leroy squad, 55-43. We had a relatively easy time with Fairview, as Paul Bricker led the well-balanced offense with 14 points. Our unmarred record didn’t last long, however, as the North Olmsted Eagles ran away from a forty-five point third-quarter tie, to win 68-53. The junior Bees had a little rougher time of it, only being able to defeat Leroy before being knocked off by Fairview by one point, and by North Olmsted. Mr. Augie Rios, our popular varsity basketball coach, teaches sociology and psychology. Coach Rios has been inter- ested in sports since his high school days at Akron Central : where he played baseball and basketball. In college at Ohio Wesleyan, Mr. Rios received a physical education honorary | and was freshman baseball coach. Before coming to Medina Coach Rios taught at Highland and in Delaware County. While at Highland he had a very successful career, winning three county championships in both basketball and baseball, and one in football. “Coach” leads a busy life in addition to teach- ing and coaching, for he is the Medina Recreation Director, and is associated with the YMCA in Akron. Mr. Fish, a Swiss bell ringer from Columbus, performed for our student body and faculty. He presented an unusual and interesting program for the Christmas season. 54 Medina got back to their winning ways this week, as the Bees smacked down Westlake and Olmsted before being edged by Bay, in _the final-minutes of play. Neither Westlake nor Olmsted Falls could give the Bees very much trouble, as we coast- ed to our third and fourth wins behind the sharpshooting of Paul Bricker and Bob Swingle. Olmsted Falls was able to master Medina’s zone defense for a total of only thirty-five points, while Westlake rallied for forty-three. Medina scored fifty-eight and fifty-nine points respectively. Medina held the lead over Bay for the first three quarters, but Bay’s great height advan- tage finally caught up to us in the final minutes of play. The talented Rockets re- mained undefeated as they edged the Bees 51-48. The reserves also got back on to the win- ning trail by trouncing Westlake, Olmsted Falls and Bay Village. Led by Bill Gardner and Jim Lance, the sharpshooting J-V’s ral- lied to win 46-29, 50-35, and 41-26 respectively. Mrs. Schafer and Miss Jones took the bookkeep- ing classes to the Federal Reserve Bank in Cleve- land. Banking procedures were highlighted as the point of interest. Tony Kovar, one of our talented custodians, takes a short break from work for pleasure. Tony de- lighted the student body with a short but entertaining performance during a pep assembly. 55 56 The large sophomore class adapted themselves well to their new surroundings and quickly became co-operative members of our school. Within the next two years we have hopes for a most productive and prospering class. Their original Homecoming float was the first to be completed and carried the members of the foot- ball squad. Piloting the sophomore class this year were: Miss Allen, Mrs. Neptune, Mrs. Hergenrader, Mr. Schultz, and Mrs. Schafer. The officers of the sophomore class are Tom Morton, Treasurer; Marsha Hyatt, Student Council Representa- tive; Bob Whitman, Vice-President; Jan Clement, Secretary; and Tim Davis, President.

We would be conference champs, but we were in third place. If the sopho- mores had had their way this trophy would now grace our display case. 61 Well-attended and thoroughly-enjoyed was the Holiday Hop held in the gym this evening. Sponsored and planned by the Student Coun- cil, the gym was decorated with a winter scene featuring cotton snowmen, while the lobby was vividly dressed with a huge tree and colored lights. One of the highlights of the evening was the awarding of door prizes won by Jeanne Kubis_ ‘' and Rog Canfield. Along with the Christmas spirit came Christmas decorations, with each home- room entering the decorating contest. A last-minute decorating job on the part of Mr. Showalter’s room took top- place while second and third honors went to Mr. Dague’s and Mr. Dailey’s homerooms. 62 Medina reigned as Holiday Tournament champion for the second straight year tonight, as they defeated the Bucks from Buckeye 65-50. Buckeye had earned the chance to shoot for the championship by a last minute blitz of Highland in the first game Friday. The Bees turned back a stubborn team from Brunswick on the strength of Paul Bricker’s thirty points. Nine Bees joined in the scoring as Medina ran up its highest score so far this season. By coincidence, Brunswick’s score is also the highest made against us so far this year. The final score was a 76-65 victory. The Bees got another fine scoring perform- ance from Bricker Saturday in the champion- ship game with Buckeye, but this time he was ably assisted by Jim Wells, Bob Swingle, Rog Canfield, and Jerry Condren. Buckeye had trouble mastering Medina’s defense and lost, 65-50. 63 ROBERL Fr SCHULTZ, Assistant Superintendent Director of Curriculum MRS. EAKEN Secretary to the Superintendent SIDNEY M.

DONALD CHASE President CHARLES CLARK GRIESINGER ee O Ci as ELMER NICHOLS GABRIEL SIMON Vice-President JEANNE VEVERKA Clerk-Treasurer After the long lay off over the Christmas vacation, the Bees came back raring to go and pushed over Oberlin, Rocky River, and Fairview, before bowing to North Olmsted. Led by Paul Bricker, the Bees hit hard and fast and then coasted to their third straight victory and seventh in nine games as they defeated Oberlin 45-35. Rocky River was the next un- fortunate victim of the Bees as we combined a sharp offense with a solid defense to lead throughout the game in a 61-50 victory. Fairview played the part of a perfect host as they bowed to Medina 70-57. Paced by Paul Bricker and Jerry Condren, who had a perfect night in shooting, the Bees ran their winning streak to five in a row. In the battle of second place, North Olmsted’s distinct height advantage played the major role in the Bees’ defeat. Led by Dan Stadnik the Bees held leads of 23-22 at half and 29-28 at the third quarter stop, only to be jinxed in the fourth quarter to go down to a 41-36 defeat. 71 72 A large blue crystal, seemingly suspended from mid-air, over the center of the gym floor, provided crystal magic for all who at- tended the Y-Teen Crystal Ball. Dreamy music by Al Day and his orchestra drifted throughout the gym, projecting rhythm into 150 pairs of dancing feet. Queen Jean Graff, escorted by Jerry Con- dren, looked radiant along with her at- Deanne Curtice, escorted by Rog Canfield, and Henrietta Gayer, escorted by Franchot Ballinger. Medina tuned up for their home clash with Bay Village by knocking over Westlake and Olmsted Falls. The Bees never trailed as they defeated the Westlake Demons for the second time this year, to the tune of 56-44. Medina won its eleventh game of the sea- son at the expense of the Olmsted Falls Bull- dogs. Led by a torrid shooting performance by Paul Bricker, the Bees held quarter leads of 16-8, 34-21, and 46-36, before coasting to a 66-50 victory. Out-shot, out-rebounded, and out-hustled, one as they defeated Wadsworth 52-46, the the thoroughly out-played Rockets went first time in seventeen years. down to their first league defeat of the sea- son as the Bees put out a tremendous team The J.V.’s also got hot to the tune of four effort to the tune of a 58-50 victory. straight victories. Art Stockman, Jim Lance, The upset-minded Bees pulled off another and Bill Gardner paced the victories. Medina, after pulling two upsets and running away from Oberlin, was upset themselves by a stubborn Rocky River team. With Jim Wells, Paul Bricker, and Bob Swingle scoring nine- teen, seventeen, and fifteen respectively, Medina had little trouble in posting their thirteenth win in sixteen games. Oberlin had a very serious and obvious problem with Medina’s defense for they were able to score only forty-two points, compared with the Bees’ Sixty-seven. The Bees, hoping to finish the season in a second place tie, were upset by Rocky, River, 40-38. This loss dropped them into third place, behind Bay and North Olmsted. The reserves followed their “big brothers” to the letter, as they were able to defeat Oberlin but lost to Rocky River. 19? “Poor Midview will die!” This was the hope of the twelve-piece band as they trouped into pep assembly playing the funeral march. It’s doubtful that Leon Patry will ever forget the poker-faced Mr. Teagarden imitating our Student Council Pres- ident. Nor will the student body forget how we laughed at the renditions of Mr. Houston, alias Principal Claggett, Mr. Dailey and his mandolin, or Mr. Demuth and his garbage bucket. Two points spelled defeat for the Bees in the sectional tournament at Elyria, as the Midview Middies upset the overconfident Bees. The team overcame a first quarter cold spell only to lose in the jinxed fourth quarter. 74 Gyaitie to our varsity basketball team for the best record Medina High School has ever chalked-up! An atmosphere of sportsman- ship was evident throughout their season. The Bees finished third in the conference with a 10-4 record.

The Concert band had the privilege of being invited to St. Marys High School in West Virginia, to play a joint concert with their band. The M. H.S. band left Medina in a trail of dust as the two greyhound buses sped toward St. Marys on March 15. Arriving in the afternoon, rehearsals were held for both bands. Dinner was served in the individual homes where Medina band members were guests. In the evening, the bands presented their own small concerts and then combined for a finale. Following the concert a dance was given by the St. Marys Band. Many friends were made this week end and it is hoped the friendships will be renewed next year when the St. Marys Band comes here. The annual winter concert was presented February 19-20 by the Medina High School Sym- phonic Band. “Prelude and Fu- gue in G Minor”, “Marriage of Figaro”, and “Show Boat” were three of the outstanding num- bers. Featured was a trombone trio consisting of Sally Schmidt, Marian Steindorf, and Pat Whitney. t : z a cm Fee 34 h Gon Naot Under the direction of Mr. Miller, our twenty-seven piece orchestra participated in the Christmas and spring concerts, adding a solid note to our or- chestral groups.

The purpose of Y-Teens is to build a fellowship of girls devoted to the task of realizing in their com- mon life those ideals of personal and social living to which they are committed by their faith as Christians. Activities include doing service projects, such as making joke books for the hospital and purchasing, along with other county Y-Teen organizations, a bedside table for the county home. Several speakers were invited to the monthly meetings bringing with them facts about other re- ligions and cultures.

A. members visited the state of Kentucky and caught a glimpse of the beautiful race horse Nashwa (right). Not to be outdone by their fellow members the juniors and seniors took a trip to Canada, where they spent an enjoyable week fishing, swimming, and camping at Rice Lake in Ontario. The school-year activities of the chapter included hayrides, swimming, parties, several banquets, initiations, and numerous field trips. 4 eee me % ogee 5 Alice: on. o Pa: eget a pie ie ae ee LI sem ocala itt: rag, M9 hp Talk about corn...

Members are selected on their leadership ability, grades, and personality. The organization started its yearly activ- ities by selling tickets and ushering at all the home football games. A tip-off dance was given in honor of the basketball team to get their season off to a successful start. As well as the annual adopting of the team by the club, the boys are served snacks in the cafeteria after all home basketball games. Candy bars are sent along with the teams on away games.

Over the course of the evening the Lettermen induced some of the faculty, cheerleaders, junior and senior high girls, and janitors to participate in the game also.

The MEDINAMITE is published every three weeks as part of the work of the journalism class. This year the student body had the privilege of receiving MEDINA- MITES on the first day of school, due to the efforts of Ted Frank and Lloyd Vaughn. The newspaper contains many newsy articles as well as interesting editorials, special features, band news, and a sports page. The newest addition clubwise at M. H. S. is the Audio Club. Starting with only its four organizers, the club grew rapidly to twenty active members within six months. Technical services performed by the club include morning announcements, microphone set-up for meditation services, pep rallies, assemblies and a dance program during both noon lunch periods.

Even though it was a first year sport a good number of boys showed enthusiastic interest. Al- though the team won only two of its thirteen matches they still practiced diligently and kept their spirit high.

The team got off to a bad start but showed its true form as it ended up the season with a 15-5 record. With next years re- turning juniors and sophomores the team promises to be just as outstanding. While the track team ended the season with 1 win and 6 losses, there were many underclassmen on the team who gained much valuable experience to use next year. Karl Hamrick led the team in points scored, and finished third in the 880 yard run in the District Meet. School records were broken in the 880 yard relay, and the 880 yard run by Karl Hamrick. The relay team was composed of Ron Brown, Karl Hamrick, Cliff Reinhardt, and Norm Goulding. High-point man for the season was Bob Fenn. 20 Randy Roeper, John Oberholtzer, Hal Nichols SECOND ROW: Val Viers, Dick Englund, Tim Davis, Mark Overholt, Jeff Post, Mr. Platz Medina’s tennis team finished with a respectable four and three record in league competition and an over all record of 5 and 6. The team, com- posed of nearly all underclassmen worked hard throughout the season and carried Medina’s colors to victory several times over larger schools. The team, students, and faculty can be proud of the fine job done. Congratulations! In league matches, the golf team had a fine 4-6 record in the tough West Side Public League in Cleveland; but over- all, because they lacked consistency, the record was 6-14. Even with this, the team was one of the finest in the history of the school and should be even better next year with three returning letter- men. Walt Chidsey, Jim Cooper, Arnold Ingraham New York-bound seniors found themselves in for a very rainy but pleasant week. Departing from Medina on Easter Sunday, they arrived in the big city on Monday to begin such activities as touring the N. Y. Times, the Federal Reserve Bank, or the Planetarium. That evening some attended the Firestone Hour or the circus. Tuesday everyone enjoyed themselves on an all day bus tour; some of the sights included Wall Street, the Bowery, Frick Mansion, and St. John’s Cathedral, with lunch at Chinatown. Tuesday evening proved to be a highlight as they enjoyed the movie “Green Mansions” and the capers of the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall. This evening also proved to be a busy one for the house detective. 22 The third morning was oc- cupied with tours again, and the afternoon was devoted to “Music Man”. When some of the boys returned to the hotel they found that they were lacking in mattresses. While some of the girls were getting ready to retire, others were calling the house de- tective to have noisy friends removed. All in all, much sleep was lost, what with card playing, eating, and picture taking in the individual rooms. On the last day, they sleepily dragged themselves through the U. N. building, while the afternoon was free for shopping. The train ride back was quiet except when an occasional “I had such a good time” was murmured by a foot-sore passenger. Happy memories of New York City will linger in the minds of ninety seniors for many years to come. 24 Judie Linder, Jeanne Kubis, Becky Blanchard, Anne Lilley, Vice-President; Kay Whisler, Secre- tary-Treasurer; Norma Lehman, President; Jerry Lash, Bette Blakslee.

THIRD ROW: Mr. Showalter, Maurita Patry, Carole Boyle, Greg Winter, Diane Flynn, Mr. Insprucker Thespian Troupe 441 spent much of the year attending plays at differ- ent schools. At the time of the drama festival, it was their privilege to initiate the newly formed Fairview Thespian Troupe. This spring in keeping in custom, “The Curse of an Aching Heart”, a melodrama, was presented-in-the round in the gymnasium on April 24th. Laughs, boos, hisses, and even a few tears, greeted the Thespians as they enacted their old-fashioned melodrama “The Curse of an Aching Heart” in the gymnasium on April 24. The play was experimental in that it was the first of its kind to be presented in-the-round by the troupe. Featured in the play were Nancy Smith, Dick Frantz, Greg Winter, Carole Boyle, Leon Patry and Norma Lehman. Also in the cast were Diana Cowling, Judie Linder, Carol Cam- py, Jeanne Kubis and Jerry Lash. The sixth annual Medina County Road-e-o was held at our high school instead of at the shopping center as in past years. Unfortun- ately, Medina failed to carry away any of the trophies this year. All in all nine schools participated in the event, with Jeanie Graff and Will Nichols representing Medina in the open division and Dick Frantz in the closed division. Medina High School’s Mathematics and Science Departments combined for the sec- ond consecutive year to display their various projects on April 16 and 17. All projects were judged by our high school teachers and several outside specialists in the fields of chemistry, biology, physics and mathema- tics. The event was attended by over 500 people. All county schools participated with us in another Medina County Industrial Arts Show in our gymnasium on May 15 and 16. Skilled craftsmanship was shown in a large variety of furniture and drawings. 25 Ph ysical Education Instructor Miss teaching cé saddened fus b ing after thirty-four years because Af physical disability. We Mish to express our highest hopes for a restfuy pleasant retirement; for she gave our school her best—every minute she taught here— and deserves many happy, quiet hours to recall he¥ many accomplishments. Until four years ago she energized the Girls’ Physical Education Department and taught Eng- ish and drivers training. She then devoted most of her time to drivers education and continued to excell—coaching the 1958 Roadeo contestants to victory. A great coach and advisor, devoted teacher, and true friend to all. We’ll miss her. The junior class presented a beautiful Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom with the theme “Chez Paree” at Akron’s Sheraton Hotel May 9th. The juniors and seniors, with their dates, dined royally and danced to the exotic melodies of Ross Halamay and his orchestra. Bette Blakslee and Jerry Condren reigned as king and queen with Jeanne Kubis, Paul Bricker, Diana Cowling, and Brent Dudas as attendants. At midnight everyone departed from the ballroom and returned to Medina to enjoy the movie “Daddy Longlegs”. After the movie, the sleepy couples drove out to Skateland and then on to various homes for breakfast. This exciting evening will long be remembered in the hearts and minds of all. 28 raduating Ge of 1959 Processional, Organ Accompaniment (Audience will remain seated) NusiCalsTn ter dew eee ee ee Christopher Englert TN VOCAtION we er ee ene The Reverend Father Becherer Clarinet Quartet -............ enn Richard N.
