Medina Seniors Take Over Project Involvement This year ninety-six students participated in a program called Project Involvement. The program involved seniors who were as- signed to various city and county jobs. Every student had a counterpart who showed them the duties they were required to do. The project was kicked-off on November 9, 1 973. All of the stu- dents gathered at the Medina Congregational Church to hear eight speakers. The City Planning Director Rick Grice, who planned the project, began the pre-luncheon program. He said the program will hopefully create an awareness by the students of the demands of local government, and show the importance of voting. In addition he said, the program will hopefully develop a posi- tive attitude toward local government, and develop active citizens rather than passive ones. The speakers included State Representative William Batchelder III, District Assistant to Congressman Mosher, Dorothy Litman, Medina County Commissioner Charles Clark, Superintendent of Medina City Schools John Kaczenski, President of the School Board Ralph Waite, Principal Augie Rios and Mayor Fred Greenwood. All the speakers agreed that the program would be a success. The program got under way on Monday the 1 2th and was con- cluded on Wednesday the 14th. For these days the seniors learned about the jobs they were assigned, and where ever the student’s counterpart went, he went. All of the seniors received a bird ' s eye view of the way our local and county government works and what makes it tick. 20

Homecoming Of 1 973 Homecoming festivities were climaxed this year when the battl- ing bees beat Avon Lake 27 to 15. But it didn’t start here. This year Pep Ciub, GAA and Key Club together decorated the uptown to let everyone know this was Homecoming Week. Thursday night our successful bonfire was the heat of the night. The bonfire also included float competition between the Juniors and Seniors. Both were successful in their attempt, but for the second year in a row the class of ‘74’ came out ahead, winning first place. Friday, our game had a touch of beauty as our lovely homecoming court of Vicki Gulling, Carleen Korte, Lynne Rudes and the 1 973 home- coming queen Marcia Gorfido, cheered the team to victory. Med- ina’s success continued on to Saturday night when our homecoming dance, sponsored by the Sophomore class, was one of the most successful Medina has had in years. The theme this year 1 950 — Let the good times roll. 22 Homecoming
