By powerful eyes I mean eyes that compel you to do something whether you want to or not. I never believed in them until I went up into the Cana- dian forests a while ago. It was inthat glorious month of July, and Jimmy and I were on our first trip to the mountains. O11 the fifteenth of that month we climbed a forest covered mountain with Sue, the little don- key that carried our camping outfit, between us. Upon entering a little clearing at sunset, we found a wee cabin. As it looked habitable, we had decided to camp in that hut that night when suddenly up to the door marched one big giant of a man. Ah, but he was big! Why should all the lovely big men shut themselves up or run away from civilization? I-Ie was a handsome man and would have made a lovely hero on the screen. This big man was Big Bill Ferber, a hunter of that region. He kindly took us in that night. From the time he first discovered us in his home until supper was over and we sat around the fire, I found noth- ing wrong about the big man. Then, as I was inspecting him some more, I met his eyes for the first time-and right then I saw something unusual. I know perfectly well that man could read my most secret thoughts. His eyes simply bored straight through mine and into my mind. Of course I didn't like that a bit, so I tried to drop my eyes-and found I couldn't. My will seemed to go from me, I was like a beast in a trap. Those eyes commanded me to look at him and I had to obey. I have a decided will of my own and I usually had my own way, but not this time. Suddenly Big Bill smiled, and I dropped my eyes and blushed as red as-well, I can 't describe it. Very soon after that, I went to bed because I couldn't trust myself to meet those eyes again. The next morning when I rose Big Bill was gone and Jimmy was getting breakfast. I-Ie must have gone mighty early this morning, for I haven't seen him since I turned in last night, said Jimmy as I came out of the cabin. I felt easier, for I had dreaded meeting that dreadful man again. After breakfast we packed the things on Sue and started on up the trail. It was beautiful in the woods and as I tramped along I looked and looked on as. many sides as possible at once. I didn't tell Jimmy of my experience of the TIIEJIIRROR 15 night before because I thought he had enough worry of taking care of me. He says that the forest is no place for a woman, but as I wanted to go, and usually had my own Way, I went. At noon we stopped and had lunch and rested a while. When we started again I had a queer feeling. It seemed as' though I were being watched. I had never had that feeling before, and it Was exciting. It lasted a long time and suddenly I turned my at- tention to Jimmy. He seemed to be watching the sides of the trail, not for pleasure, but because he thought some danger lurked there D-do-don't you feel rather queer? ,l. asked timidly for I began to be frightened. Yes, I do, and I. think it is because we are being watched. I've felt it all the afternoon. Why do you ask? I f-f-feel the s-s-s-same w-W-W-way, I quavered. 'tllh W-what is it I? 'W-W-why do11 't you do some-th-th-thing? Well, what the dickens can I do? If you're so darned scared, maybe we'd better turn around and go back. I think probably it is a eougar following us and waiting for a chance at us. VVe'll put up the tent to-night and keep a good fire. Still, it can't be a cat or Sue'd be acting up. Nevertheless, we 'll have a big fire to-night. lVhen he told me that if I were scared we'd better go back he made me ripping mad. lniniediately I bucked up and opened my mouth to send back a retort, but he kept right on talk- ing and when he finished I hadn't any excuse for being angry. I cooled down and tramped along behind Sue without a word, but the feeling followed us. About five o'clock we came upon a delightful place to camp, so We stopped then and there and pitched camp. The sun was still up when we finished the work, so I went exploring. Jimmy told me not to go far, therefore, I. went as far as I dared. Push- ing through some bushes I found myself at the mouth of a cave. It was ai delightful cave and I entered without a single fear. During all of my tramp to the cave, I had had the same old feel- ing of being watched, but as I entered it suddenly ceased. I thought I had thrown the watcher off the track and enjoyed my- self searching all the corners. I found no historical records or anything of that sort, but I did like that nice, roomy cave, until- I turned suddenly at a low growl and saw a cat, very much magnified, in the opening of the cave. Scared? Oh, no, not a 16 THE MIRROR bit! I gave one big shriek for Jimmy and cowered in the corner to Wait for him. Slowly the big cat crept towards me. Sud- denly I heard another growl, and like a flash the cat turned and faced the new comer, who was none other than Big Bill. His eyes were blazing, but in despair I saw he hadn't a weapon on his person. He couldn't light that cat barehanded and come out alive. The man and the cat glared at each other and the man used all the power of his eyes on that animal. Not a muscle moved in either as they stood there. It seemed as though I'd scream at their stillness. Oh, why didn't they do something? Then slowly the great cat began to shrink away from the man. Slowly, slowly, bit by bit, it moved away. Slowly, slowly, bit by bit, the man followed. In that great battle of man and beast the man was the stronger. Slowly, slowly, they moved until the man was on my side of the cave and the cat next the opening. In the slow moving the great beast reached the open- ing and suddenly it turned tail and fled. The man turned to me and said, Woman, you need someone to look after you. Come with me. I've followed you all day watching to see that you and that kid brother of yours weren't lost or killed. Now I'll take you to your brother and act as your guide the rest of your trip. Come. For the first time in my life that anyone had ever given me orders, I didn't answer back, I simply crawled out of my corner and obeyed him. His eyes told me to, and I had no will of my own to resist him. When we arrived in camp and told my brother fwho hadn't even heard my screamb what had happened, he scolded me up and down and said repeatedly that Uthe woods were no place for a woman. Big Bill Ferber agreed with him. However, at the end of the trip when we entered the town from which we started, there was a trip to the minister's and now I'm still living in the woods with Big Bill.', His eyes told me to, and I had no thought but to obey. TIIE MIRROR 17 TED'S SURPRISE Esrrnan J. BoYD M OTHER and father were away. They had been gone three days and this was the fourth. The first two days Mary Jane, my cousin, l1ad stayed with me, but l1er mother was taken ill, so she had to go home. That left me alone in a l1uge rambling farm house, a mile and a half from anyone with Jack and Jill, a dog and a cat respectively. It was the last day of November and it seemed to spell mys- tery. It was not crisply clear with frosty blue sky and bracing air as a well regulated day should be. Neither was it framed in a swirling snow storm. The day opened with a slow sulky rain that looked as if it had come to stay, and the air was full of little jabbing slivers of east wind. My spirits were about as cheerful as the November day with its grey sky and soggy at- mosphere. After dinner I attempted to read, but my mind strayed from the story so that I had to give it up. As time advanced a veil a.lmost as thick as the grey mist circling tl1e river hills seemed to wind itself about me. At last tl1e tearful day wept itself into a wet twilight, muffled in mist. I was huddled lonesomely be- side the library fire, listening to the cold drip-drip from the roof-edge. The floors creaked and snapped as if someone were Walking, walking to his own death, now upstairs, then in the kitchen, now beside me and then back upstairs. First, they were soft and fearful, then louder and braver, until by seven o'clock discontent and nothing to do had nagged me into a regu- lar fit of nerves. VVhen a half hour later steps rang upon the porch, and the side door resounded with a knock, my heart went flip-flop, and I resounded to that knock with a shivery feeling in my elbows. Wlien I opened the door, in filed four masked figures which be- cause of my nerves seemed like giants. They asked me where the silver was, and when I told them I didn't know, they seized and bound me. After they were sure that I could not escape, they left me with the cheerful promise that they would attend to me later. Again, that everlasting walking, now near, now fa.r away, first soft and then heavy. Then, to make it all the more pleasant the wind started to blow. 18 THE MIRROR It shook the windows, rattled the doors, and whistled in the tree tops. I remember hearing the approach of those gruff voices, but no more. Then a strange feeling crept over my body. I seemed to be sinking-into I knew not what. But unwilling to show the white feather, I decided to look my tormentors in the face once again. Thought was action, I looked. There stood brother Ted bending over me with a glass' in his hand, the contents of which were all over me. Wliat was he saying? After he had repeated it three times it sounded some- thing like this- Hey, Sis, didnlt you get my letter? I say, what 's the matter with you? Sit up and let me present you to- At this point his three companions came in saying: Aw, come on Ted, don 't you know we 'bout scart, the wits out of the poor little thing? Get around here and do the introducing stunt. You nearly drowned her with all that water. After I had been duly presented to the boys amid much laughter, Ted who could never resist teasing anyone, if he- had the opportunity, got down on his knees in an attitude of pro- found humility. As sob-er as a Sphinx he delivered the fol- lowing speech: Really, Sis, we just wanted to have some fun. VVe don't have any school this week, so I brought' the guys home with me. Aw, forget about it and make us some fudge. I obeyed his command with the meekness of a lamb, after deciding that I could get even with those boys with doped fudge more easily than any other way. But that is another story! L Q THE MIRROR 19 GNIHTON-A MYSTERY CHARLES PARISH THE box itself was about eighteen inches long, six inches in width and about the same in depth. Un the outside was this inscription: In this box you will find gnihton. Nothing might have come of the affair if Sy1vester's wife had not just finished a story in which there was a similar box, which was filled with jewels. Even then the affair might have been forgot- ten only that while Mrs. Sylvester was looking at the rest of the goods she came across some old documents. Among these was a diary of the man who had owned the box, and in the diary the box was mentioned. The history was as follows: Ebenezer Jones, a descendant of the Mayflower stock, had been left the box by his grandfather who had been a cab-in boy on tl1e Mayflower. The cabin boy had stolen the box from the Captain of the ship on which he had worked before. The Captain had taken the box from a pirate who had found the box in the hold of a ship which had been lifted by a submarine earthquake from the profound depths of the sea. The pirate had told the Captain that the box had been built by the Norsemen and that it contained a refuersable substance called gnihton, which is very similar to that which you have left when you accidentally drop your last dime through the grat- ing in a sidewalk. At this point Mrs. Sylvester stopped reading. Oh George I she exclaimed, We must open the box immediately. I am dying of curiosity to see what is in that box. What do you sup- pose gnihton means? Mr. Sylvester went out in the woodshed, got an ax, a crow bar and saw, and a pair of fingernail clippers. After working steadily for several hours the cover of tl1e box was loosened. Then Sylvester placed the finger nail clippers in the space be- tween the cover and the box and began to tap gently and easily. Bang! Bang! the cover flew off with a loud noise and Syl- vester leaped forward to see what was in the box, but Mrs. Sylvester beat him to it and held the cover reversed before his eyes. Then spoke that lady with a sarcastic smile, Maybe you will listen to me once in a while. Echo-In a man's head there is gnihton. 20 THEMIRROR BASKETBALL FOREVER J ULIA FAY CKHZERE comes my trunk, children, said Peggy Forest, a brown-eyed girl with a white tam placed in a rather dashing style upon her curly head and a thick plain sport-coat flung wide to the breeze, as she hurried her two chums, Eleanor Cummings and Jane Hampton, across the campus of Welton college to the Arethusa sorority house. An express wagon with two trunks in it was being drawn up before the house as the girls reached the steps. Oh, dear! I do wish he'd hurry for I have some books in my trunk which I would greatly like to show you before dinner. Go, lend a hand there, 'Giggles,' or he 'll never get mine out! Eleanor Cummings drawled, My dear Miss Forest, I am not a human derrick for in my illustrious trunk repose numer- ous articles owned by the said person and packed in there so tightly that I shall need tl1e help of many humans among them the illustrious- Rave on, 'Gigglesl' I'm going to possess. myself in pa- tience rather than listen to your free lecture. Jane, has your trunk arrived yet? Chl That reminds me! Come one, come all for by chance I have two boxes of Christmas presents, candy rather, in my traveling bag. Come on and we'll sample them, girls! cried Jane Hampton, a tall, wiry girl, wearing glasses, as she dashed into the house. Me for the chocolates! cried 'Gigglesj totally disregard- ing her English as the prospect of sweets loomed before her eyes. Wait a second. I'm coming! Puff! Puff! Gracious these steps seem steep. I guess I've gained about five pounds during vacation, said the stout girl. Up in Jane's room all the college gossip was discussed as the three girls munched chocolates. They were seated near an open fireplace in which a brisk fire helped to cheer them up, for the holidays were over and everyone was loath to settle down to the tiresome routine of study. Each train brought more stu- dents, and express wagons clattered up and down College Ave- nue at an alarming rate of speed. Dinner hour found Peggy, Jane and Eleanor members of a happy group descending the stairway of the sorority house. THE MIRROR 21 Oh, girls! l'm just dying for a good basketball game. When do we have tl1e first game of tl1e semester? Captain Sue, we need some practice! cried Peggy she gleefully tweaked Susan Pond's nose. You express my very thought, said Sue i11 a mock dra- matic voice. She was a tall, dark-haired girl who always seemed to be fairly sparkling with fun and enthusiasmq This particu- lar evening she plunged in to tl1e idea of basketball with usual ardor and soon nearly all the sorority girls had collected near the stairway and basketball held right of way in their conver- sation. Finally Giggles glanced sorrowfully toward the din- ing-room and then and there broke up the discussion of wailing. Girls, do an act of charity and save this starving individual from instant death by proceeding towards the dining-room. I declare, 'Gigglesl' You'll surely not be fit for the game next Tuesday if you don 't fast for a few days, giggled Jane. Do we really play next Tuesday? cried Giggles, now all attention. VVhy of course! Didn't you hear Sue tell us that we play Evanston? cried Peggy. lt's settled. Every spare second of mine will be spent in that gymnasium, andhif lVelton college sophomore team does not possess a skeleton guard, l'll miss my guess. Oh, there goes the dinner gong, girls! Hurry! Remember sorority meeting in the living-room to-night! cried Jane. After dinner the long living-room was converted into a verit- able wilderness of chairs, for Arethusa sorority had many mem- bers and a large number of chairs was called to accommodate all. Gracious! l've been away such a long time that this es- teemed meeting place, when empty, looks like a 'full-fiedged' undertaking establislmieut, with all those camp-chairs! sang Giggles as the girls came into the room. A wave of laugh- ter greeted this remark, for though Peggy Forest might be the most idolized member of the sorority because of her fair play in the classroom and athletics, 'Giggles' was rightly named. VVherever she went Fun followed and Arethusa sorority had in her its spirit of good cheer. A buzz of conversation contin- ued for some time before the meeting was called to order. Bas- ketball as usual was the chief topic, for VVelton was a college greatly enthusiastic over its principal sport. That reminds me, said Rita Moore, a lively blond, speak- 22 THE MIRROR ing of a remark made by one of her chums. Girls! Listen! she cried as she stood before t11e assembly. I have heard that Evanston team, our great rival, has been strengthened con- siderably by the addition of two excellent basketball players to their college. I imagine they're forwards because as I came through Evanston on tl1e train two girls were having a rather absorbing conversation. Evanston's team was their topic, so of course I was interested at once. I happened, quite naturally, to start talking with them, so hence my information. This news was indeed quite astounding, for Evanston was a strong team anyhow and if it became any stronger a more ter- rific defeat than usual would be administered to Welton. The meeting will please come to order, Jane Hampton, the President, rapped upon the table for silence and the formal part of the meeting rbegan. Girls, I have here a rather interesting letter from a girl who wishes to become a member of our sorority but owing to tl1e great number in our rooming-house is forced to stay at Simmons house as Alpha Kappa is also crowded. We are to vote whether she will become a member, even though she does not live here. Her name is Anastasia Ames, concluded Jane. A groan from Giggles, was followed by, What a name! My- A hand clasped over the irrepressible Giggles 's mouth and the meeting proceeded. Madam President. Miss Reed. I am very well acquainted with the girl you speak of, and I'm sure that Arethusa, having the excellent reputation it has and sheltering all members of the basketball team, will make no mistake in admitting 'Tasy' Ames. She is a good basket- ball player and to my mind eligible in every way. She will just occupy the position of Helen Preston, our left forward who has left college to accompany her parents on an extended western trip. If the sorority votes that way, I see no reason for her not being admitted, said Jane. The vote was unanimous, so after a time the meeting adjourned. Friday afternoon the team and subs assembled at the gymn for practice. Just as they were about to start the game, a dark- haired girl with snapping black eyes, entered the gymn, went to Miss Norton, the physical director and after some conversation disappeared in the direction of the dressing-rooms. Shortly THE MIRROR 23 after Anastasia Ames, for the newcomer was she, emerged from the rear room and raced up to Miss Norton who introduced her to the other girls. After assigning the girls to their respec- tive positions, Miss Norton tossed the ball at center and the game began. Puff-Puff! I thought I was a wonderful player after so much exercise and practice in making my esteemed person hus- tle, but that girl makes us play to keep up with her. Talk about human whirl-winds, said 'Giggles' as she and Peggy strolled into the dressing-room after the game. On Tuesday afternoon the gymn was ablaze with lights and colors. The sophomore colors of blue and white were predom- inant as their team was a principal in the day's activities. Jane Hampton as cheer leader stood ready to urge her class to the loyal support of their team. Obedient to her slightest motion the students under Jane's- direction burst forth in a hearty Team! Team! Team. The girls went to their positions after practicing baskets for a few minutes: Peggy right forward, Tasy Ames left, Sue Pond center, Giggles right guard, and Rita Evans as left, was the line-up. The referee's whistle sounded and the game began. The Evanston center won the tip-off, a few swift passes and the Evanston left forward easily netted a bas- ket. By careful playing the Welton team managed to tie the score. Then the turmoil started. The Evanston team had just started, a11d the swift passes, neat field-baskets and short-range ones bewildered their opponents. At the end of the first half the score-keeper wrote 2 and 10 in favor of Evanston. In the dressing-room no one spoke. Tears stood in Peggy's eyes, Tasy Ames' cheeks were blazing with color, Giggles between gasps could hardly keep from weeping audibly while Captain Sue 's face resembled a thunder-cloud as she paced the room. As the whistle for the teams to be ready blew Tasy Ames cried, It isn't too late yet, girls, although they have five times our score. Come on! Let 's play now! Remember, we're not going to lose! That's what I say! Guard carefully and let's show them some of our tricks. 'Giggles' and Rita, hold their score down with all your might, cried Peggy. We will, 'Pegginsf I'll ride my forward all around the 24 TIIEMIRROR floor. She is very rough, believe me, girls ! said Giggles as the last whistle for the second half blew. Sue Pond won the tip-off this time in fine fashion while t'Tasy grasping the ball made a pretence of throwing it to Peggy, twirled towards the baskets, then let the ball go. Straight to its mark it sped, dropping through the net with a sound which was almost music to the plucky Welton team. Cheer after cheer rang through the gymn. If the team would only keep up after this little encouragement, a close game could be assured the spectators. After tl1e next tip-off Tasy by diving beneath the outstretched arms of guards, twirling or rather pivoting on one foot towards the basket with the ball in her hand, then throwing to Peggy instead , succeeded in so confusing the guard that two more baskets netted easily caused tl1e scorekeeper to write: H8 and 10 in favor of Evanston. Time was called, after which Evanston team went back into the game with the determination to win in spite of the renewed vigor displayed by their oppo- nents. In the next few minutes of play the Evanston forward scored on a free throw. The next tip-off was won by Sue and with a few amazingly swift, short passes the ball sped toward Peggy at the far end of the court. One swift toss and Welton's score was within one of its opponent's. The time-keeper called, Two minutes more. Both teams put forth every ounce of strength. The play was fast and fur- ious. The side-lines were crowded with yelling students, and the gallery was equal in its loud roar of excitement. Tasy had the ball! Twirling towards the basket she cooly took aim. She'll never make it, groaned the sophomores. With one arching toss the ball dropped securely in the basket just as the whistle blew. Such a pandemonium as ensued! Students crowded the court and the players were warmly congratulated while the building fairly shook with the yells. Arethusa sorority had made no mistake in taking Tasy Ames in, that was certain, and fur- thermore Evanston had been beaten for the first time in several years. - VVasn't it wonderful, girls? said Peggy. Basketball forever! gasped t'Giggles as she staggered into the dressing-room. THEMIRROR 25 THE LOST HELIXIR OF LIFE EARL Go1.DMAN H E CAME into our village one night, from where or how no one knows. He was old and withered with age. His gray beard formed a frame for his weather-beaten and wrinkled cheeks, and his steel-gray eyes glittered like pin points from 1111- derneath his shaggy eyebrows. One day he told his story to a group of which I was one. I was a boy at the time, but so vividly and intelligently did he tell his strange tale, that to this day I recollect it and now for the first time I will try to tell it. lt is, as nearly as I can remember and as my literary qualities permit, as follows: Many ages ago my fatheri was-an alchemist, that is, he was devoted to the science of trying to produce gold from lead, pre- cious gems from glass, and most important of all-to discover the elusive 'Elixir of Life,' that precious formula for which the best brains of ages had been seeking. When he started he was a very rich man, who could afford to hire the best of instructors and to equip a laboratory which surpassed any established before. The day came at last, when my father reaching the peak of all the information teachers could teach him, found himself penniless, except for all his knowledge, his hopes, and his won- derful laboratory. The latter seemed to be the only thing upon which he could rebuild his shattered fortune, and, with this end in view, he retired at the age of thirty-five with only me, Cmy mother having died some time beforej to a secret retreat in the mountains, a cave, where he had moved all l1is apparatus and chemicals. That is all I remember for about the space of ten years, except that my father seemed to grow more absorbed in his work every day. t'One evening, when I was about the age of fifteen, my father rushed in, a complicated glass system of laboratory apparatus mounted on a platform in one hand, and a glass vial of a thin greenish liquid in the other. 'My son,' he cried, 'our fortune is rebuilt. The fame of our glorious name shall spread from one end of the land to the other. It shall travel through the valleys and down the rivers until it reaches the ocean, wherein the Gods and demons dwell. There it shall make all the rulers of mortal destiny shake on 25 . TIIE MIRROR their thrones, yea, quiver in the fear that their slave, mere man, shall become immortal and, who knows, perhaps usurp some of the mighty knowledge and supremacy of the very Gods them- selves. My son,' he said, his voice sinking low, 'I and I only have discovered the great secret of LIFE. I have discovered it and made the means to perpetuate its marvels to all generations. Come, my son, draw close and l will teach it to you,' he conclud- ed, setting the glass apparatus Very, very carefully down on the table. All that weary night, he taught me the secret, that had taken him long years to discover. Wlien at last we were finish- ed, the pink tinting of the sky heralded the approach of morning. Cautioning me to guard the apparatus carefully and not to touch it, he lay himself down to rest and dream about his new found wonder. He slept the sleep of the exhausted all that day and the following night until he awoke after having slept twenty- four hours. 'Now son, we will test this product of my efforts,' he re- marked finally after studying the various tints of coloring in the 'Elixir of Life' He said this, trying to be calm, but I could see that he was trembling like a leaf and that his nerves were crying out at the immense energy that would be required to drive him forward to test the fruit of the work of his life. I was silent respecting his state of feeling, and wonder- ingly watched him go nervously into the next room and bring in a hypodermic needle and a small cat. But such a cat! It was lean and gauntq one ear was half off, its whiskers were torn, bent and drooping, it had the scars of many fights, and its fur was off in some places and coming off in many others. It was so very filthy and dirty, old, wretched and forlorn that my heart gave a great bound of pity for it, and for what it was to undergo. Holding the cat on the table, my father trembling, slowly filled the needle with greenish liquid' and injected it into the cat. He watched for a moment, but nothing happened. Then slowly before our very eyes, the transformation took place. The whiskers, so old, bent and torn, straightened and replaced them- selves, the old scarred head from which the flame of life was passing, raised itself profoundly, and carried its two alert ears forward, the eyes brightened, the old fur was replaced by new, fu I l THEMIRROR 27 the scars healed and behold, a young alert cat sprang forward and disappeared. Man's brain had conquered tin1e. After this final proof of his achievement, my father gazed at the place where cat l1ad stood, thinking what, I do not know. H 'Son,' he finally said, 'the world must not know of this, and further than this, he declined to explain. Later I was destined to remember this sentence and regret with every breath, that I had not heeded it in regard to myself. For the next year, my father mentioned never a word about his discovery, but f1'0111 one or two words he had spoken I divined that he was seeking an antidote for the 'Elixir of Iiifef I-Ie discovered it, after working steadily for a whole week, never stopping to eat or sleep. Strange to say he did not seem at all eager or excited about it. After he had satisfied himself as to the nature of his new compound, he calmly went to sleep. The next morning, he was still preoccupied with his thoughts, walking sadly around. In the afternoon he carefully explained to me the nature of his antidote which he said if taken i11 the same quantity as the 'Elixir of Life' would put a person back to the same age, from whence he had started taking the 'Elixir of Life,' and allow him to die after a normal span of years. The next morning he was dead, having for some reason which I have never found out taken a deadly poison. Now, this cave, wherein I had lived for fifteen or sixteen years, was in such an out-of-the-way place, that I never before had seen a human being other than my father . I knew, how- ever, all about the world through my father, who personally taught me, to the slightest detail, all about it. But which was most important of all, he neglected to tell me the country in which we lived and for that matter even the continent. The same day he died, I buried him in our mountain re- treat and taking one last look around, took a package of food, a weapon and went out after rlrrinktng of the 'Elixir of Life' Gentlemen, he cried, gazing earnestly at us, his steel gray eyes fiashing, to this moment I regret that act and with every breath curse my father for inventing that concoction of the devil. I have wandered over the world, I have seen Empires rise, fall, decay into memories and eventually forgotten. I have 1. 28 THE MIRROR seen great men revolutionize the world time and again, I have seen them die and fade back to tl1e dust. I have seen battles, earthquakes, volcanoes and everything that mortal man has done in his struggle for supremacy over the beasts. But to what purpose have they struggled I? Unly to die and decay, finding blessed relief in that way from their paltry fifty, sixty or seventy years of toil. All but me! I have sickened of eternal life. The time was that I feared death as a pesti- lence, now I would welcome it with open arms. There is only one thing that I can do to escape my immor- tal fateg that is, to find tl1e antidote, which I had so carelessly left in the lost cave. Until that is done, gentlemen, my soul knows no rest. Until that little bottle is found I must travel from one mountainous district to the other o'er all the world to find my salvation. You may not believe my strange story, you may even doubt my sanity, but before the very God whom I have to eliminate from my life, my story is as true as I have told it. Gentlemen, I am done. With a dreary sigh, he shook his shaggy head, wiped his tear- dimmed eyes and with a staff in his hand, he started forward once again on his weary and endless road-a broken man tired of everlasting life. Since then I have grown up, married, had children who are about to marry. I am old and gray and still every once in a while I hear of the Nameless Pilgrim searching, ever search- ing, for the power which would release him from earthly care. A year or so ago I saw him and again heard his strange tale. He had not changed, except that his sigh was more dreary, and he started on his journey with wearier footsteps praying with every breath to the good God to let him rest in his lost cave once more. 9' lb ' ' 0 W' w...-- - ' , 0 ' f-93 ARM..

He was loved by all his people and he constantly thought of doing them some kindness. There also lived in -- two men, who were fond admirers of tl1e king. One was a peasant, living on one side of the palace and the other his brother, who lived on the opposite side. They used to stand by their cottage doors and look longingly at the castle, thinking of good King Daniel. VVheneVer he would come from the palace door to stroll in his gardens, they would watch him with utmost adoration. The older brother, Harvey, would place his hand on his wooden rake and strut around as the King did, for he wanted to be like him, but Joseph would simply watch with an expres- sion of envy. Things could not go on this way forever. and so, as time went on Harvey would come strutting into the market place and shake hands with some fellow peasant with an evident inimit- able manner. As for Joseph, when anyone spoke the king's name he was filled with hatred. One d-ay Harvey came up to Joseph and patting him on the back said, Well, my good man! How are you to-day? His tone was in the same pitch as the King's and his smile and pose were in an exact imitation. D-l said Joseph harshly. Speak of him to me, you fool, and I'll ring your neekf' ' Several peasants looked up. They had never heard anyone speak of the King in such a manner. The King happened to be riding past at this time and heard J oseph's remark. Immediately he knew something was under foot. He ordered the carriage stopped and descended. Joseph grew white and Harvey was stricken with fear. What is the trouble, my good men? he said, as he scanned their faces. Between the breaks and discords he managed to get a brief summary of the affair. The people waited at the end of this talk for the climax. The king stood silent. Finally he said in stern, determined tones, My people, it is better to imitate than envy. 30 THEMIRROR FLIM-FLAMING MINNIE-HA-HA DORIS BRowN WHITHER she came, who she was, how long she intended to stay, the people of Minnie-ha-ha, a small town in the West, cared notg for why should they care as long as she had brought such an era of prosperity with her. - All the town looked up to her-even the Mayor's wife, who loved to be called the Mayoress of Minnie-ha-ha, known gener- ally as a very snippy person who thought herself much better than the rest of us. So when the Mayoress, as we must call her, called on a stranger we were assured readily that the stranger must be out of the ordinary. This was another reason why we must admire the stranger, Miss E. G. Lawrence, to be exact. The first week after Miss Lawrence 's arrival the Mayoress called and invited her to dinner the next evening. This fact alone was enough to keep the village gossipers busy-for you must know by this time that we have as fine a line of village gos- sipers as there are to be found in this section of the country. But on the following morning when looking over the Minnie- ha-ha Daily Record underneath the account of the Mayor- ess's dinner party I found this article: The Mayoress's dinner party intended only to be a social event turned out to be just the opposite. During the evening the talk ran to business affairs and Miss Lawrence announced her intention of purchasing the several downtown lots of the Mayor if he were willing to sell them. Before departing for home the transaction was made. ' Miss Lawrence intends to beautify the property a great deal and before the next two months elapse hopes to have the Senior Film Company occupying the build- ings which will be erected there soon. At the next meeting of the Board of Trustees the matter will be presented and 'voted upon in order to secure the support of all the inhabitants of the town. Minnie-ha-ha should be proud of Miss Lawrence and do all she can for the interest and welfare of the Senior Film Pro- ducing Company. As I threw down the paper in disgust I wondered what could be the matter with her. Was she crazy? She looked certainly just the opposite, for she was tall, blonde, and charming. But then I thought one can't tell always by outside appearances. The THE MIRROR 31 two lots of the Mayor's are certainly a disgrace to any commun- ity. Plastered by bill boards and sign posts it was certainly the worst looking piece of property in our rather clean village. However, over four weeks elapsed before the grand arrival of the Senior Film Producing Company. In the meantime the Board of Trustees had decided to give a banquet in honor of the visitors. Accordingly, the town hall was decorated appropri- ately with flags and bunting after some discussion as to whether the Mayoress and some of the smart set should come into contact with these strangers. However, this dispute was set- tled and I never saw the hall look so pretty and the people so congenial as on the night of the reception. Everything passed very smoothly, and when the President of the Senior Film Pro- ducing Company arose to speak he was applauded loudly. He asked for the support of all tl1e people and said that he under- stood Minnie-ha-ha to be a historical town which possessed many old relics which he hoped the people would lend him in his next play which was to be a historical novel. Of course, we all prom- ised to do what we could, thinking nothing of lending our pre- cious heirlooms for so worthy a cause. Within the next two weeks it was not an unusual sight for me to see several cow boys dashing down the street in quest of some beautiful girl both loved. All of the people of our town re- joiced over the arrival of such a business and worshipped Miss Lawrence from afar. Then the President of the Company, or Mr. Green, expressed this desire. I wish to reproduce the historic attack on the town by Quarryville Raiders, when they wrested the town from the occupancy of the Confederatesf' This bit of news was heralded with joy. The scene was to be laid in this manner which was purely historical: One of General Lee's spies was to come to the camp of the town, not knowing that it was in the hands of the Yanks. Then 'the Colonel was to rush us Qthe Confederatesj down the main street, down the other streets Hlickity split, shouting and shooting with all our force, killing all the Yanks who rushed to- ward us, and thus take the town. How pleased my father and mother were to know that they were to have a part in the play. For was not father a Civil war veteran, and did not mother have a quantity of old-fashioned relics to lend to the actors? We were prouder than ever when 32 THE MIRRUR we knew that all the famous actors and actresses and many of the townspeople were to take part. All the next day the local gunsmith worked overtime in load- ing blank shells, ordered by Mr. Green. Mr. Green arranged everything well: One lieutenant was to enter a house and cap- ture it, others were to capture other buildings and houses, many were to stand on the roofs of their homes and throw wads of burning waste into the streets, some were to burn pitch, all of which would make a great deal of smoke. Finally the day for the reproduction arrived-the sun shone beautifully and in all it was a perfect day. Finally every- thing was in readiness. The camera man took his position in the large touring car, hired for the occasion. Mr. Green fired a shotgun as a signal and the battle began. From the roofs of various houses great balls of smoking waste descended, streaks of fire began to spurt from the win- dows that overlooked the thoroughfare. Down the street came the raiders wondering what all the racket was about. Dust filled the air, smoke ascended to the blue sky, and the roar of guns broke the stillness of Minnie-ha- ha. But we were all enjoying it, and thinking little how the camera man could take such pictures which were nothing more than a black smoke. Never, I am sure was sham battle more realistic. After the smoke had cleared away we began to look around' for the camera man and Mr. Green, but they were nowhere to be seen. Going down the street we entered the bank and found the cashier bound and gagged behind his cage. Later, it was dis- covered that two valuable strings of pearls were missing and several other pieces of jewelry as well as forty thousand dollars. The Senior Film Producing Company has never been seen or heard about since, although we have made many attempts in trying to locate them. The film-flaming of Minnie-ha-ha had been accomplished, so without a doubt they moved on to some other town to try the same thing. Fifrf .. . -Gfg lw. Q.mHE?T..,,,j '-7 ' ,. ' .

After several hours of hard work trying to find out where I was, I succeeded in find- ing something which proved to be a door. When I looked at the sun once more, I discovered that l had been buried in an Egyptian tomb since 1921 and it was now 3921. I had some money still in my pocket, so I endeavored to try at least to reach my old home. At last I was going back to Medina, the old town which I had left Bo many years before. After traveling in foreign lands for so long a time, memories of the place which had once been my home came to my mind with difficulty. I tried to recall some of those whom I had known so well at the old school, but all in vain. It was twilight. The lights had not been turned on in the coach in which I was riding. I put down the book which I had been trying to read in the fading daylight and gazed about the car. I was the sole occupant. Finally my mind turned again to the book. It was not fiction, but rather a history of the archae- ological work of Professor Munchausin who had made recent discoveries concerning some American tribes who had lived two thousand years ago. I began then to wonder who would be the man that would wield a pick and shovel among the ancient ruins of what was once Medina. I looked out of the window at the passing land- scape. Seeing nothing that was familiar, I turned back to look at the interior again. Professor Munchausin stood before me. My friend, he began, you desire to know something about your friends. I have the means of enlightening you. He paused. 'tPray go on! I exclaimed. Still he was silent. Then I remembered and after searching all my pockets at last I found what I wanted. Here, I said, is thirty-seven cents. Thirty-six you may keep for yourself, the extra cent is war tax. After clearing his throat he began: For a few years after its graduation very little was heard of the class of 1921. Most of its members attended some insti- tution of higher learning. Then one by one they came into pub- lic notice. The first one to achieve fame was Gladys Mattoon. Of 3 34, T'HE MIRROR course you remember her. She died young, but then it was all for the best. She had great ambitions to become a lawyer. If she could have been contented with law, all would have been well, but she went into politics- 'And like the flowers of May 'Glad' came to the end of her day., About this time another member of the class acquired dis- tinction ina different manner. This was Everett Hart, who painted so realistic a picture of an apple tree that in the spring the buds started and in the fall he picked several bushels of good apples. Nature is queer! It was a long time before we could gather anything con- cerning Frank Stillinger. But at last our search was rewarded. We found 'Stilly' down in Honolulu tooting a little nickel plated horn in a Hawaiian jazz band. After locating Stillinger it was comparatively easy to find Remington Kohler. You remember how he used to star in Spanish. He put his knowledge to good use. When they start- ed to work in South America, he went down there and won con- siderable fame. 'You recall that in 1921, Dr. McKay . Told us in assembly one day, That he who knew Spanish would win success So Kohler took his advice I guess. Ruth Stoddard went into the salvaging business. 'She went to a foreign shore, Where the natives never heard of her before. After she died, we have learned That she received the rewards she earned. She went to heaven through the Golden Gate, Which proves that because of her converts Peter didn't make her waitl' By the way, three years after he was graduated, Medford Thomson turned into a book worm one night while he was read- ing. Some one found him the next morning curled up, having a fine nap in the book which was none other than a Burke's 'Con- ciliation! Clement Cielwich disappeared the day after the graduation and wasn't seen or heard of again until five years later. He had been in training all this time and had added several inches to his heighth. In 1928 he challenged the Champion light weight O THE MIRROR 35 wrestler. Your 'Cibits' captured the championshipg but he wasn't satisfied. So he kept on until he held the 'light weight' championship' of the world. Who would have thought it? Bernadine Farrell gained considerable fame as a toe dancer. In fact by some critics sl1e was considered the best dan- cer of her time. Now you see why sl1e worked so hard in 'Chow- Chow! No doubt you remember that Genevieve Smith who liked to giggle so well. Her name is written in the Hall of Fame as an opera singer. She was such a great singer that the singing teachers who lived after her day made their pupils learn to gig- gle before they tried to learn to sing. So Genevieve introduced a new course of study for the would-be singers. When the President who succeeded Harding was looking for his Secretary of State, Marian Hegman recommended Velma Waterson as the best person in the United States for the job. I am sure Velma ha.d training enough during her high school days, because every society she belonged to honored her with the sec- retaryship. Perhaps you wonder how your quiet 'Heggie' became an advisor of the President of the United States. She gave up her idea of teaching and started an Information Bureau for the sole purpose of helping the Presidents in selecting their helpers. I told you that Gladys Matton became a lawyer. Mary Swart, another person in that famous class, also became a lawyer. However, unlike 'Glad', she made a success of her chosen profession. Because .of her eloquent pleas more than one person lived to a ripe old age, when he might have died in prison stripes, if her pleas had not touched the hearts of the Judges. Another person who made a name for herself in rather a unique manner was Sarah Boyland. Wllen she left the old M. H. S., she went to an aeronautical college in Virginia and was graduated from it with great honor at the end of her four years' course. She did a great deal toward the development of avia- tion. 'Say' was the only one who made a non-stop circuit of the globe. There was one person in that class who really had a kind heart. That was Esther Boyd. 'Bobby' was a bugbear to Miss Rugg. You remember that '10-A' was never quiet when she was there, because she talked to the boys so much. Realizing her U 36 THE MIRROR short comings 'Bobby' decided to help all high school girls who liked to talk to the boys. So three years after her graduation, a book appeared in which she related several of her own ex- periences. Its title wasp! Why High School Girls Should Not Talk In School'. But since tl1e girls did not take l1er advice, l1er work was in vain. Charles Colburn used to spend a large proportion of his school day in the attic Cdrawing rooml of the old High School. But I am sure that you will agree that his time wasn't wasted. Some of the buildings which he designed have been found and they surpass the greatest that the Grecian or Roman architects ever produced. Suddenly Professor Munchausin stopped speaking. Go on, I exclaimed. You have forgotten one member of the class. What became of Kathryn Rowley? Ah, yes, he replied. In every group of people there is one person who always does something strange, unusual, or un- expected. 'Kittyl was that person in the class of 1921. You might have the choice of a hundred guesses, but your last guess would be as far from the truth as your first one was. I will tell you about her. She was about to go to college when the strang- est thing befell her lot. She- Suddenly the car was filled with light, and the porter mum- bled, Hchange cars for Medina. I turned to take a good look at my strange companion. I was the sole occupant of the car. I have often wondered what happened to Kitty Was it all a dream? No!

Whetliei' We have accomplished this object or not, is for you to judge. To those who so kindly contributed material to this book we extend our heartiest thanks. NVe also wish to thank our adver- tisers and subscribers Without Whose aid this annual could not have been published. VVe appreciate very much the typewriting Work done by Miss Doris Jackson and Glenn Arminger during the past few months. This year by the vote of the student body and by an increase of twenty-five cents to our circulation price, We revived the old custom of a stiff covered annual. We Wish the '6MIRR0R,, of next year to be a great success. ANNOUNCEMENT The staff announces With pleasure the appointment of Mr. Lee Skinner for Editor-in-Chief of the 1921-'22 publication of the MIRROR, We congratulate you, Lee, and Wish you all kinds of luck. 42 THE MIRROR FRIENDS F RIENDS-What are they and why do we have them? Friends are of various classes-acquaintances, chums, and last-lovers. Likeable acquaintances are by far the majority of our friends. People we speak to and chat with about school or other dread topics. ln general we may call them well-wishers. In school an example of this feeling of good-fellowship may often be noticed between those living outside the town and the resident pupils. They study tl1e same lessons, belong to the same frater- nities, and Hunk the same exams. Then comes the crowd with which one travelsfbound to- gether sometimes by the influence of an older person or leader, but often just a group out to get the most fun out of everything irrespective of the time or place. Nearly everyone has one person, outside the family, whom he or she knows intimately, and whom other people sometimes call a chum. These pals know each other's secrets, hopes, ambi- tions, and disappointments. Each recognizes the otl1er's faults and, by candid criticism, helps to eliminate them. Snell a per- son may be trusted at all times, in happiness and in trouble. Finally there are the lovers of the flames whom we rave about worse every time the spark changes. Luckily, these are not usually very serious or long-lived and are all in the day's work. The friends who last longest and are ever faithful are Mother and Dad who are, only too often, most appreciated when they are no longer here to be pa.tient with us and encourage us. Next to them comes the 'tpal to whom we tell all our secrets and who tells us his in return, for if occasion arises he will nearly always rise up the friend in need. Tn choosing our friends let us take the advice of Reginald Kauffman: This is a world of getting and giving, and its rules apply even in the sacred relation of friendship. A man should choose no friend who can neither teach nor learn. There is so much to be done that we must be miserly of time and energy, yet those are elements that every friendship requires, and it therefore be- hooves you to choose for friends only those whom you can bet- ter or who can better you. wGlenn Arminger. THE MIRROR 43 SCHOOL LIFE 66LlFE in quotation marks suggests humor. School life may suggest humor to some, but to the average high school pupil School life suggests very little humor. School life to the student means study, l1ard study in every line, good, strong will power wl1e11 it comes to a club supper or a basket ball game. The student knows that he has lessons piled a foot high, and it is a case ,of a decision between study and pleasure. Wliicli would you take? Study? Perhaps. To the student school life seems just lesson after a longer one. VVhen u short les- son is assigflfedltlie pupil is so much astonished and suspicious that he cannot do even that because he has an idea that one short lesson then may mean two long ones later. lt is a rule that very seldom fails. But then, School life is not so bad, in fact it is just what you make it. You know that if you study hard the lessons come more easily and quickly. lf you apply yourself and know your lessons you do not shiver when you enter your classes. Then you feel that every teacher is not waiting for you with a lecture, even if on some days it does seem so to you. David Harum states that a few fleas are good for any dog. This saying can be applied to the student. A few lessons are good for us all. ROBERT WIIJIAIS. OO-OPERATION IN THE SCHOOL A T ONE of the meetings of the Boys' Club a discussion was I held on 'What the School Needs. The greatest need of our school, it was found, is co-operation among the students. The system of Passing the Buck was condemned as harmful to the school since, with its practice, there can not be co-oper- ation among the students, and between tl1e students and faculty. We all realize that football and basketball have been fail- ures this year, but we cannot expect more in baseball or any future athletics unless other members of the student body co- operate and get rid of the rotten spots in the school which are liable to spread. A booster is more helpful to a school than a knocker. A story is told which illustrates the fact that our school will be just as We make it: 44 THE MIRROR A Quaker stood watering l1is horse at the village trough one day when a new neighbor paused and asked him, Wl1at manner of people live in this village? What manner of people didst thee live amongst before? asked the old Quaker. The people in the town If came fro1n,', answered the stran- ger, were mean. They were narrow, they were forever sus- picious, and quick to take unfair advantage. I am sorry, said the Quaker, for thee will find the same manner of people here. i' And the newcomer found that the old Quaker was right. On another day another newcomer paused while the Quaker chancest to be at the trough and he, too, inquired about the temper of the populace, and again the Quaker gksked, VVhat manner of people didst thou live amongst before? l A broad and cordial smile overspread the features of the stranger as he spoke. Friend, he said, There are none finer than the people I left behind. They were neighbors and I loved them. It was hard for me to leave, but l had to journey on. Be of good cheer, the old Quaker said, for thee will find the same fine people here. And again the old Quaker was right. The side of life we see is the side we show. So, students, let's give our best to our Alma Mater and make it a leader in everything-in scholarship, athletics and in all activities. Let's make for our school a name that will be known throughout the educational force of the country. Above all, let us be boosters, not knockers. -Remington Kohler. A CHANGE? A CHANGE seems to be quite apparent in our study periods. Has anyone noticed it? But then, this question arises: ls it a change for the better? Like all other difficult problems which confront a student 's mind it requires a great amount of mental discussion before a definite conclusion is reached. Two equally distressing questions arise and disturb our faith in the motives which prompt our schoolmates to lighten the labors of our faculty. Perhaps the quiet ensues because the previous whispers are transferred to scraps of paper deftly and quickly passed from hand to hand? Perhaps this art has be- come so perfect that even previous occasional rustlings are 77 THE MIRROR 45 heard very seldom as a note wends its way across the study hall? At any rate several studentst ?J, who are not quite initiated into the mysteries of 'note-passing, have the misfortune to be caught in the art quite frequently. Teachers are teachers and although We sometimes believe the guardians of our peace have eyes in the rear of their heads, this fact is not a certainty. Finally as a last and rather groundless resort, we decide that the motive back of our quiet study periods is study. Let's be- lieve it anyhow and throw aside the unanswered questions with regard to make study periods quiet for our long-suffering faculty and long-suffering-perhaps an interrogation point might be in order here-fellow students.-J ulia Fay. DEBATING SOCIETIES WHY do not the students of Medina High School form a De- bating Society A? This is a question which each one of us should ask ourselves. Is it because we do not care for debating or because we are too lazy to spend the required length of time in looking up the material? In 1915 and 1916 the Medina High School had one of the best debating teams to be found in this county. We were one of the league known as The Triangular Debating Team. Our oppo- nents were Albion and Lockport. In 1917 Lockport for some unknown reason withdrew. However, we should not be dis- couraged at Lockport's withdrawal but should look around and find some other school that wishes to debate with us. Since 1917 there has been very little effort on the part of the students to form another League. Two years ago when Miss Clark was one of our English teachers she tried to reorganize the Debat- ing Society. Many agreed to enter, but before the first meet- ing could be held the t'Flu'l epidemic broke out and put an end to the debating society. Our school contains a number of people who are able to de- bate very well. This fact was shown very clearly in one of last spring's assemblies when an interesting debate was given by six members of the English IH class under Miss Ferguson's super- vision. There are undoubtedly others who can debate just as well as those six if they were given an opportunity. We all know that there are many benefits to be derived from debating. It helps us to think quickly, see both sides of a ques- fi 46 THE MIRROR tion and know the benefits to be derived from the proposition, and gives us an opportunity to improve our English. Let each one of us think this question over clearly and when an opportunity is given for entering a debating society do so willingly and enter into the spirit of debating with a determin- ation to do our best and win.-Doris Brown. MEDINA'S NEED OF A SWIMMING POOL AMONG Medina's greatest needs is a swimming-pool. There is no good place to learn to swim in Medina. The canal and Glenwood Lake serve the purpose for those who are able to swim, but even then, there are objections. First, the canal Water is very dirty and filled with germs. This fact is best realized when there is no water in the canal. One look at the refuse and rubbish is enough to convince a person that he does not wish to swim there again. Secondly, the canal is a rather dangerous place to get out of. At one time there were cables along the sides as a safe-guard, but these have become loosened and in many places are several feet below the surface of the water. Glenwood Lake is clean. This is its best feature, but offset- ting this is its great depth. It is hard for a person who is not able to swim, to get out of this lake. Businessmen of Medina have attempted to fit out the dam with springboards and other equipment, but in almost every case the equipment has been destroyed by careless individuals or ruined by exposure to the weather. Swimming improves the health. Cripples have been made Well through swimming. Annette Kellerman the great swim- mer was once a cripple, but is now said to be the world 's most perfect woman. The change, she said, was brought about by swimming. The fact that Medina needs a swimming-pool cannot be denied. Swimming improves the health and is a pleasant recre- ation. A swimming-pool would be a great step in the develop- ment of the community and would certainly lower the percentage of deaths caused by drowning.-Edward Edmunds. X X Jun 1o7'b xii' IQ 'X Xx.

But we had not reached the campus before the school spirit took possession of usg greetings were exchangedg former teach- ers welcomed back, new ones made to feel at home, we hope, and everything was soon in fine running order for the new year's workathe best on record. The first thing that attracted our attention as we entered the halls of the Medina High School building was the newly decor- ated walls. The new lights in the class rooms and halls were next to catch our eyes and make us long for a dark day just to test their illuminating power. The new window shades, too, called for their share of attention. Our wise teachers put their heads together and thought up a new scheme. It was this. We were to receive our re- port cards once every quarter-but now listen sharply! How- ever, at the end of the first five weeks those who had a standing below seventy-five per cent were presented with a Harding blue card. Good scheme! N'est-ce pas? The Faculty has lost and also gained a number of members. VVe were very glad to welcome the following new teachers: Miss DeLand-French and Spanish Miss Smith-English Miss Gertrude Hall-Latin Miss Scheid-Mathematics Miss Bartholomew-Commercial Subjects Miss Williamson-Music Mr. Roels-Boys' Physical Instructor Miss Wodke-Girls' Physical Instructor Miss Palmer-Home-making Miss Carol Hall-English Mr. McGann-Manual Training We were glad to have with us again: Mr. Brown-Superintendent Mr. Mattoon-Science and History Miss Felts-Drawing Miss Ferguson-English Mr. Phelps-History and Civics THE MIRROR 51 Mr. Morgan-Commercial Subjects Miss Rugg-Latin and Mathematics Mrs. Turner-Science Mr. Fancher-Mathematics Miss Lenahan-Writing A NEW ADDITION Under a recent law of New York State, Medina has been forced to build a building for manual training. Although the building was completed about December first it was not opened until the second term of tl1is school year because supplies were late in arriving. It has been inspected by state officials .Who have reported it in tl1e very best condition. The building is furnished with all necessary equipment. There are held daily four classes, each class of which has a membership of about twenty pupils. The building is used for the part-time pupils also. MEDINA HIGH SCHOOL GAINS A STATE HONOR MR. RICHARDS, Specialist in English, from the State De- partment at Albany, recently inspected the English work in our school for approval.', . In his letter he states Your application for certification of the Work in literature for pupils in tl1e classes of Miss Elsa M. Ferguson and Miss M. Genevieve Smith is hereby approved. This approval is permanent and will continue in force as long as these teachers remain in your school. This approval means that the examination in the literature part of the English examination will consist of a statement tal of the time spent, tbl books read, fel teacher's estimate of the pupil 's attainment. Out of over one thousand high schools in the state of New York, there are only about one hundred fifty that have received this special approval. Teachers of literature who have been properly certified may certify in literature pupils who take four years English ex- amination as candidates for the college entrance diploma. In order to get certification, it is necessary for the school to have a standing higher than the state average. The state aver- age for the year ending June 1920 was 70.772, The standing for the Medina school for the same year was 75.272, This shows that the Medina schools are among the best schools in the state. -H. E. Brown. 52 THE MIRROR -, ORCHESTRA ' The Work of organizing the high school orchestra this year fell upon Miss Williamson, the new music instructor. Two nights a week, from four until five, are devoted to practice work for which school credit is. given. Through the persistence of the members and their leader, the orchestra has improved Very noticeably and does some very fine work. Occasionally they are called upon to furnish music at various entertainments. The members of this year's orchestra are: Pianist, Kenneth House, violinists, Freeman, Uaurtman House, Carrell, and Hillg trom- bonist, Mael 3 cornetist, Stillinger. We all hope that this orches- tra will continue to improve next year and will reach the highest 1nark of perfection. GLEE CLUBS Two glee clubs were formed, one for the boys and one for the girls. The boys have not made their debut in grand opera, nevertheless we know they are doing fine work by the harmon- ious sounds which escape from Central building. We have heard from the Girls' Glee Club and it is surely a credit to the school. REGENTS' WEEK The regular mid-year Regents' examinations were held at the High School, January l7-21 inclusive. Of approximately 160 papers 137 received the passing mark. Of course there were disappointments, as there always will be as long as there are examinations, but these were few, the ex- ception rather than the rule as the preceding statement proves. Each failure, however, should serve but to inspire us with a zeal to work harder, to take more interest in our school, for we rea- lize that we can make or break its record and that our efforts, while we are members of it, play a large part in determining whether M. H. S. diplomas shall mean something or-nothing. Therefore, we believe that it's up to all of us to think of our opportunities, to make an inventory of our abilities, and to do what we do better than it has ever been done before. In this way we shall make our school and our community the best ever. Fellow-students, TO-DAY is ours! Let us improve it. THE MIRROR 53 HOLIDAYS Columbus Day and Washington's Birthday were observed as holidays in our school. A generous vacation of one week was awarded us at Thanks- giving time. We surely did appreciate having enough time free from study to get up a good appetite for the National bird, and to have a few days left to recover from the effects of a big feed. Another week was granted us between Christmas and New Year's to enjoy the usual good times of that season. ASSEMBLIES GNE of the sources of instruction and pleasure to the student body this school year has been the assemblies. For the most part the assemblies have been varied and entertaining. Every Monday and Wednesday morning we meet in assem- bly hall for a ten minute singing period. When the morning's dark and dreary And your feeling sort of blue Just a little bit of singing, Will help the long day through. On Friday the regular weekly assemblies are held. One of the most interesting and instructive of the weekly assemblies occurred during the first part of the year when Mr. Walter Bent- ley Ball, a baritone singer from Rochester, gave us a splendid hour of singing. At Christmas time we had a special program consisting of selections and poems given by some of the school students, to- gether With a musical program to which several of the alumni, Who were present at this time, contributed. At our Lincoln's Birthday assembly two members of the Junior class, Maurice Fitzgerald and Richard Freeman, spoke. Miss Rutherford. Special Help teacher of the Central School. recited The Perfect Tribute. This assembly was greatly en- joyed by everyone present. On the twenty-fifth day of February a Washington's Birth- day assembly was held. Many members of the Freshman class gave recitations and declamations. Professor John W. Stephen, of the Forestry Department of Syracuse University, spoke to us on Forestry VVe were greatly honored by the presence of the Daughters of Veterans at this assembly. 54 TIIEMIRROR HALLOWE'EN PARTY October fifteenth the girls of the Higl1 School gave the boys a Hallowe'en Party. The auditorium was decorated with pump- kins, corn stalks, and black and orange crepe paper. It looked very much like Hallowe'en. The most of the evening was spent in playing games and singing songs. Light refreshments were served. THE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER BANQUET Un the eleventh of October a Mother and Daughter Banquet was held at tl1e Cook A uditorium. A very nice supper was served at which the men waited on the ladies. It was very interesting to hear the men singing Everybody WoI'ks But Father as they were going around the tables. After tl1e supper songs were sung under the leadership of Mrs. MacDonnell. The speeches and vocal solos which followed were very much enjoyed. Three of the High School girls were among the speakers. Eva Sanborn gave a toast to the High School, Kathryn Rowley told a humorous story, and Velma Waterson spoke on Athletics Mrs. Brown of Rochester was the main speaker of the evening. Her speech was greatly en- joyed by all. 1- THE FATHER AND SON BANQUET This year the Father and Son Banquet was held on Febru- ary 18. Every Father and Son went to the church which he at- tended for his supper. At each church a short program was given in which many of the High School boys took part. After the supper and program at each church was over all the Fathers and Sons met in the Presbyterian church for the main program of the evening. A selection by the High School Orchestra was the first number on the program, then a selec- tion by the Boy Scouts' Drum Corps from Buffalo. The first speaker, Mr. Roerhig, who was advertised as the Surprise was introduced by Mr. Fox, the chairman of the committee. The main speaker of the evening was Mr. Rich from Buffalo. These addresses were greatly enjoyed by all and left something for each one to think about. At the close of the evening the benedic- tion was offered by Mr. Shaw and everyone left feeling grateful to tl1e men on tl1e program committee for furnishing such excel- lent speakers.-Carl Mael. TIIEJIIRROR 55 DRA WING CONTEST Tl1e Medina Dry Goods Co. recently offered prizes for the best design for a window card announcing their Spring Opening. The contest was open to all pupils in the design classes of the Medina High School. The results were as follows: A first prize of S10 was awarded to Charles Colburn, a second prize of SF5 to Earl Goldman. The five S2 prizes for the next best designs were given to Jane Waterson, Mildred Seibert, Everett Hart, Carroll Boyd, and Raymond Rowe. They were on exhibition in the win- dow at Medina Dry Goods Co. during the week of the seventh. THE NIGHT SCHOOL The night school recently closed has been one of the most successful in late years. Courses in shorthand, beginning and advanced typewriting, bookkeeping, mechanical drawing, and shop work have made more efficient employees for many a busi- ness man, and many a good citizen's wife or daughter has in- creased her skill and economy by the courses in sewing, mil- linery, and home nursing. The total registered attendance was 107 and an average at- tendance of 70 was maintained during the first term and of near- ly 60 during the second term. Compared with other night schools, this is an exceedingly good attendance for a village the size of Medina. Similar courses will be offered next year and other courses will be planned if the registration for them warrants it. The night school is a distinct asset to a place and deserves con- stantly increasing support by those who shall benefit by its courses. October eighteenth Babe Ruth played on the local dia- mond. School was dismissed at 2:45 p. nl. so that students might witness the game. As the tickets cost 31.50, many per- sons were conspicuous by their absence. 011 election day the Medina High students, by straw vote, gave Harding and Coolidge an overwhelming plurality. VVallaee Reid, although Sick-a-Bed appeared at the Del- mar theater November thirtieth for the benefit of the Mirror.

But as the graduation season approaches and we realize that you are leaving to take up the work for which you have been preparing we realize also- that Goodbyes must be said. Often we have been lax in inviting you to see why you were given certain duties to perform. As the years go by, however, and those duties per- formed become part of the firm foundation upon which you build your lives, we are glad the reasons for many things will become apparent. How We do things today is but a summing up of how we did things yesterday. And so it is that our tomorrows depend upon our todays. We wish you all joy in the years which are to come. Some of you will continue your studies in another school, others will study in that school of everyday life where experience is the only teacher. Whichever your course we urge that you consider this not as the completion of your training but only as a step toward the goal. Each has his work to do in lifeg no one else can do yours. Will it be left undone or will it be done so well that some day you will gain the prize of a life. well-spent? And so we wish you God-speed. EACH year during the warm days of spring or in the cool days of the autumn months the call has gone out to some of our good friends for the use of their automobiles. Sometimes the occasion has been an athletic cou- test in one of the nearby towns, sometimes it has been an outing at Lake- side or Shadigee. And always the call has met with the same warm response. We have often felt that our friends have not been adequately thanked for their thoughtfulness. After occasions of this sort we have returned to town, happy but often tired, and our thanks may not have carried with them the conviction which we nevertheless felt. We welcome, therefore, this opportunity to add to what has already been said. In days to come when we look back on the days spent in Medina our thoughts will travel to drives through beautiful orchards, to hours spent on cool shores, and to the feeling of friendly companionship with others which we had as the motor hummed bringing us back to our homes. And with these. memories will come thoughts of those who made these trips possible and a Warm feeling in our hearts when we dwell on the beauty of friendship. ONE of the many things for wl1icl1 we as a faculty have been grateful this year is that ours has been a congenial group both in work and in play. We came into being as a social group even in the first few days of school in September. VVhile Home Room teachers were Worrying over their first problems in SC'l1C'dlllCS and counts a happy carefree group might have been seen skimming over the cement in a certain Cole Eight bent on Shadigee and pleasure. VVe were glad to forgive them, however, for in a few days we too were among those present. This was at the reception to the new members of the faculty which was held on a previously good piece of lawn connected with Mr. Harttis residence on Ann Street. It was on this occa- TIIE MIRROR 61 sion that we learned what would happen to a million dollars if it ever found itself in Mr. Brown's possession. ln a manner not yet explained someone secured a certain well-known make of car and this was auctioned oil' amid much merriment. Before cold weather set in two trips were made to the Lake. The first of these was the annual fall picnic and roast at Shadigee. Great care was taken that nothing in the way of games which would reflect upon the dig- nity of the profession be engaged in. Baseball, Duck on the Rock, and skipping stones on the water were popular. The second trip was one to Lakeside and a large steak was taken along in honor of a former member Who was present and who is partial to this form of amusement. The reception to the new members of the Faculty was enough of a suc- cess to warrant a return engagement, and this time the old members were entertained. lt was then that we realized l1ow much talent had been brought to town. A Gypsy Party was held in the gymnasium and the old were entertained by the new. ' We found Miss ltutherford a talented elo- cutionist and Miss Wodke a graceful dancer. Miss Williamson, Miss Bar- tholomew and Miss Genevieve Smith became a trio and entertained us in song. There were many other numbers, all excellent, and then luncheon was served with Miss Linda Smith in charge. As a result of the vocal talent displayed on this occasion a glee club was formed which met regu- larly during the winter in the High School. Q'l'hose of us not eligible to the Glee Club becaus-e of a raucous tendency in our voices have detected an odor of fudge after several of these meetingsj Just before the Christnias holidays a k,llI'lStl1lLlS party was he.ld at the home of the Superintendent. Un this occasion Miss Ricketts was in charge of the various stunts. We renewed our childhood in a Christmas tree and indulged in the pleasure ot receiving and giving presents Qof the ten cent varietyj. Aside from the general parties there have been many group parties. At different times groups have visited Buffalo and Rochester to hear Kreisler, Homer and l1er daughter, Schumann-l-leink, the New York Symphony Orchestra, Alma Gluck and liubulik. We have visited the theatres both in the city and in Medina. Perhaps Mr. Reynolds will testify to the num- ber of times we have attended the Delmar. We are sure he was aware of our presenc each time we attended. ln fact, on one occasion he came right up and made himself known to us. It has been a pleasant year and in the future when we recall the days spent in Medina., we will think als-o of the friends who helped to make the days pass pleasantly. 1 .g'A 4 '.-- s ' I . l .

Perha.ps, they consid- ered us Worthy of some distinction, but just possibly, they wished to keep the demoralizing influence of the Seniors away from the good little Fresh- men. Although we realized that when one becomes a Senior, he is naturally supposed to discard all unseemly levity and to realize that education is SERIOUS, nevertheless we fear that we have been guilty of a few indis- cretions. Looking back over our past year we remember repentantly a few little. conversations that, although of course concerning our lessons, might possibly have been left till after school. VVe recall also that We have con- sumed many such articles as peanuts and candy which, though vitally neces- sary for nourishment, might, perhaps, have been postponed until dinner time. A few have also committed the unpardonable sin of passing notes. VVe did this merely to give our study-hall teacher something to watch, and thus pre.vent him from being bored. However, we might have found some- thing else to serve that purpose. For these-and many other misdemean- ors-we are heartily Sorry. We hope, as we leave M. H. S., that her Seniors-to-be may improve upon her Seniors-that-were, and that her future may be even brighter than her past. GRACE L. RUGG Class Advisor THE MI RROR 65 Qilass I like to sit and wonder What each one of us will be, After we've left old M. H. S. And sailed life's rugged sea. 'Tis nice to muse in fancy Like those who crystal gaze, And see the many forms appear In a misty sort of haze. I see great buildings in the mist, Whose towers pierce the clouds. I see an orator, intense, Surrounded by the crowds. There is a rumor that the engineer Whom we all knew as Medford, Will have the contract of the job Of connecting Rome and Bradford. I enter in a building now YVhose walls are hung with art. The one. toward which all eyes are turned, Is that great work, by Hart. The architect, of whom I said His towers pierced the sky, Is Colburn, who did meditate, And that's the reason why. And Kohler is the orator Who holds the crowds, intent, And Clement is the one Who copies for the President. Miss VVaterson, I introduce Behold her, if you please, She teaches finger tips To fly across the typist's keys. I see. a court room now, quite clear, Where a woman lawyer pleads. I think that Miss Matton To you, no introduction needs. rupijecp And why does Fate design for us Names unsuited such as Stilly ? For now he isn't still at all, But warbles sweet and shrilly. A little fair haired maiden Now appears, all dressed in white. 'Tis Kathryn, who makes the audi- ence Applaud with sheer delight. Marian, our president Wished to increase her knowledge. And so she studied hard and long, And now teaches in a college. A maiden now steps forth, Whose eyes remind one of a lamp. Esther hasn't forgotten, these many years That she was once Class Vamp. And Mary Swart who long ago Did brightly shine in Math, Has specialized in Algebra, And followed Miss Rugg's path. And Sarah Boyland VVe all knew would never single stay, I see her married happily, And the children 'round her play. No doubt the way I've pictured these The members of our class Will stand correction quite severe After some long years have passed. But in our number not so great, Indeed there must be some VVho will be known the nation Wide In the years that are to come. -'Genevieve A. Smith 5 KIARION HEGMAN, Heggfie President Class '2lg Ergonian So- cietyg Basketball Squad. The mere fact that you have two ears and only one mouth ought to be a tip to listen twice as much as you talk. Heggie certainly heeds this say- ing. She is very quiet, nevertheles-s, she is very popular as you will notice she is our President. If all the Sen- iors were like Marion, Miss Rugg would only need to be present to take roll and to dismiss the class. Let's all follow Marian's example. Success to you in the future! SARAH BOYLAND, Say Vice-President Class '2lg Ergon- inn Society. Smile and the world smiles with you. Sarah's smile is one of this kind. Whenever we see Sarah she is smil- ing and makes us feel happy. The Senior room would be quite a dull place without her. Her ready wit and habitual good nature fairly bubble over to a'll who know her so we prophesy that she will always be supplied with a host of friends. May luck be with you throughout all your life!

She is planning to be a social secre- tary, but, we fear that unless she adds a few feet to her stature and a few inches to her hair that her prospective employer taking her for a mere infant of three or four, will refuse to trust her with a responsible job. Best wishes, Kathryn! l'1.m11-mfr CIELWICH, Cibits Boys' Club. Cibits agrees with Shakespeare that men of few words are the best men and is both quiet and studious fa priceless combinationb. But the fact that he is taking only three sub- jects looks suspicious. We know that he is capable of absorbing more. Therefore, although he doesn't appear to be at all interested in girls, the only possible conclusion is that he wants extra time to write notes. We trust that Cibits is planning to bea secret service man for his ability to refrain from talking except on proper occasions would certainly make him a good one.

Many SWART Glec C lub. Mary is the other girl in the class who is interested in law. VVe expect her to follow in her brother's foot- steps and study this subject.

This fact as- sures her success, C1iAn1.1-Ls CoLnvuN, Colb, Colby Varsity Football, Baseball, Basket- ball Tn-:uusg Boys' Club. Colb has the distinction of being the promptest boy at being late in the Senior room. Nevertheless, under his powerful arguments, a mere quarter of a minute fakes into insignificance and everybody fexcept pos-sibly, Miss Ruggj is ready to believe that he wasn't late at all. Charles is our ath- lete and we're all proud of his fine work on the teams. Some day, we're sure, Colburn will be the star of some college team. RUTH STODDARD l,:itiu Club.

L EE SKINNER CLASS OF 1922 IN September 1918, an Educational Barge' sailed proudly into the harbor of Medina High, and the Junior Class of today disembarked and went into the world to explore and become Wise men a.nd women. Many were our dreams of fame. and fortuneas we traversed the halls of M. HQ S. during that first year. Our trials and tribulations were many, nevertheless some of our members were well pleased to stay behind Cthinking probably that they were not well enough acquainted with Freshman cityj when we left for the next stop. In our travels we made new acquaintances who were more familiar than we with that new city. We were well cared for on our journey, and now to-day you may find a few of our original number in Room 6, poring over huge books trying in vain to digest their contents. We are not alone in the world, however, for many travelers who were too indolent in former years and thus lacked the price of a first class ticket to Room 10A are here with us. , The Junior class is not composed of any marvels. Our contributions to athletics have been comparatively few, but they have been well worth while. We have, however, several literary and oratorical geniuses of whom we are very proud. , . The first part of this school year a meeting was held and we elected our class officers. Otherwise, we have plodded along our weary way alone and unaided as far as class activities are concerned. It is with great pleas- ure, however, that we announce that we hope to have more social activities including a masquerade dance. And so gentle reader, we leave you to your meditations, trusting that you will read on and become better acquainted with the members of our illus- trious class, 74 THE MIRROR CLASS ROLL CARROLL BOYD, Ras, Bill Vice-President of Class of 1922g Boys' Club.

To accommodate these seventy odd Sophs there were two rooms specially fitted out with all the necessary implements of war, including home room teachers, etc. The more lucky Sophomores fthose having the most countsj sit in Room eight, while the others have for their Home, Sweet Home Room nine. The class is so large. this year that it is not easy to have Sophomore mass meetings and as a result of this there have been few class activities. The first meeting was called to elect officers for the coming year. The above. were elected. Miss DeLand was chosen as class advisor. Even though the class has not had many important events connected with it we are very proud of our members who took part in the Drawing Contest. Earl Goldman received the second prize of 585.00 for his poster and Ray- mond Rowe a consolation prize of 82.00.

L liss SCHEID OF course We're green, all Freslnnan classes are, for the sake of tradition, if for no other reason. But-did the Sophomores think we were-well -er-somewhat weak-minded? Probably they did, but do they now? Aren't we ia wee bit smart and don't we know some things-and know them well? Oh! You admit that a different question. lJidn't we win Bill VVil- liams' prize and how about the Spring Opening Posters and a Freslmman winning a prize? Nearly all of our class emerged triumphant from the five days' siege at midyears in spite of some pessimistic people who recited the 111ean little poem about the young maiden who Sat up late to cram And had the blues and worries But-she failed in her exam. Of course some studying had to- be done to gain tl1e successful end but that was surely not the essential part. At the Washington's Birthday Assembly several of the members of the class took part in the program. Between various recitations the Girls' Glee Club sang and a duet was rendered by two sweet-voiced young members of our class. A solo was also rendered by another young member and a selec- tion by the High School Orchestra completed the program. Perhaps you'll say I've left out the Freshman Banquet., but really what was so great about it? Or course, it was fairly attended, the eats were good, we had very good speakers, and quite a few girls stayed over an hour after- ward washing dishes-but what of that? Now-if after all we've said and done to convince them, the Sophomores still speak of us as insignificant specimens of humanity,U I suppose all Sophomore classes will do it to all Freslnnan classes for all time. Perhaps we will even do it ourselves. -- Aww 'sf .E ...alfa E i Q1 'Elf '- 1 80 THE MIRROR igbtb Grabs THE Eighth B. English Class organized this Fall and adopted the name of Central Stars.

In January, the number of graduates from the Eighth Grade into High School, was twenty-three Freshman and four sub-freshman. This stand- ard stands unequalled in the Central School, in years passed. Encouraged by this, the Eighth B. graduates divided into two parts. The first part is expected to graduate into High School this June. If this is accomplished, the number graduated will be larger than in January. Eighth A. Class has had no social activities this year but has accom- plished some excellent work. They hope to have more activities and do still better when they reach High School. a i a A .cv N' 'i ' i fl.' 1.0 1' lo -fi V. mf' ' - f:'.f'A1, ' ' 5 . a if Qammfni f THE BOYS' CLUB THE MIRROR 83 BOYS' CLUB THE Boys' Club of Medina High School was reorganized early in the fall, and many new members were admitted. This operation consisted of a Sing-Sing mess step for hardened criminals up and down our Main Street and a few other minor atrocities. Lee Skinner, our President, Roland Howell, our Vice-President, Howard Phillips, tl1e Secretary, with Frank Stillinger, the boy who hands you The Deed in the Dark for thirty-five cents, payable in cash or otherwise, con- stitute the officers. To them, with the help of Chief Fox, the members of the Club Cabinet and the very generous mothers, the s-uccess of the club is due. The first meeting of the club was held October 7, 1920. From that date on, there has been a meeting every week there has been school. At our first meeting Mr. Guy Aldrich, a Rochester man, spoke to us on The Yellow Streak. The second meeting was devoted to the reading of the constitution and the voting in of the new members. The Rev. Heisler spoke'on Life Savers. The Weekly programs have been generally the same throughout the year. First, the supper, then the jollification period consisting of songs and eheersg then the business part of the meeting consisting of the Club Roll Call, the reading of the last meeting's minutes, announcements and various important topics. After these things comes the main speech of the evening. given by some man from in town or from tl1e nearby cities. The program is concluded by the flag salute and the meeting is adjourned. Mr. Wood, manager of Medina Dry Goods Co., led our singing dur- ing the first part of the season, but at the beginning of January, Carl Mael acted as leader and has continued doing so with great success. Tllere have been a few variations in the program. One of these, a group discussion on What is the greatest need' of our school? was held on Febru- ary 2nd. Although the idea of a discussion was new and the members did not respond as well as was expected, still there were some very good points brought up and the members received some good from it. A stunt night was held on March 9th at the Cook Auditorium to which the Freshmen were invited. About sixty fellows enjoyed one of the best social affairs in the history of tl1e Club. To digest a good supper there were two reels of comedy brought especially from Buffalo. Various games, boxing and wrestling concluded the evening's pleasure. To Everett Hart and his committee great credit is due for the well worked out program. The High School Club did one big charity work this year. During the week of Feb. 7th the Club put on a drive for the State-wide campaign of collecting books for the inmates of States Prison. Medford Thompson, chair- man of this drive, carried out his work so well that when the drive was finished the Club had the satisfaction of knowing that the prisoners would soon enjoy 250 more good books. When it comes to the feed the mothers are the ones that made that word possible in our weekly programs. The Club owes very much to the mothers for their services in preparing the suppers. This year we have had some of the finest suppers tl1e Club has ever had. Tl1e Club extends its 84 THE MIRROR heartiest thanks to these mothers and especially to Mrs. Landauer, the chairman of the committee. This Club, founded by Chief', Roherig, has been a wonderful success this year and is one of the lasting' marks left by the old 'Chief. A new clause was put into the Constitution by which any member of the Alumni was considered an honorary member of the Club and could attend its meetings. The Club was very sorry to hear of the resignation of Chief Fox to whose unseliish and untiring work the success of the Club is largely due. Good luck to you in your new work, Mr. Fox! May you be as successful there as we consider you have been here! Best wishes to next year's Club. May you enjoy such good times and obtain as much good from the weekly meetings as we have this year! . ERGONIAN SOCIETY ON September 13 a meeting of the Ergoniani Society was called for the purpose of electing offticers for the ensuing year. The result was as follows: - President ...... .... K ATHRYN ROWLEY Vice-President . . . .... MONICA O'GaADY Secretary ....................... VELMA WA1-ERsoN Treasurer ......,................... EVA SANBORN Shortly after this meeting many mysterious whisperings and threats were heard and in due time the neophytes were properly initiated by their guardian angels at the home of Helen Paine. The following new members were voted in: Gladys Mattoon, Lorena Wheeler, Geraldine Ryan, Helen Hickey, Carrie Childs, Esther Pettit, Helen Brown, Eva Taylor, Reba Ken- yon, Florence MeElwee, Mildred Keep, Leona Verbridge, Flora We.bb, Maude Rands. At the next meeting Miss Wodke was elected advisor. The regular meetings have been largely attended, peppy and very interesting. The annual Christmas dance which was given December thirty-first at the Odd Fellows' Hall was largely attended. Miss Rugg and Mrs. Stock- ing were patronessesi After vacation every one was so busy preparing for Regents that the regular meetings were discontinued for a time but they were started again later. On March fifth the girls enjoyed a childrenis party at the home of Kathryn Rowley. Everyone squabbled, played, sucked lolly pops and had a good time generally. Several other parties have been planned besides the regular meetings and if they are carried out it will make this year the livelie.st year for the society on record. V 4 xx THE MIRROR 85 THE NEW LATIN CLUB THE Latin stude.nts of Medina High School are fortunate in having two such public spirited instructors as Miss Hall and Miss Rugg to preside over their oftentimes ludicrous, but really well meaning efforts to master the intricacies of the Latin language. Last fall these two teachers conceived of 'the idea that the study of Latin held possibilities beyond the monotonous grind of mere everyday class work, and their inspiration in so short a time became a reality that soon invitations worded in the most correct Latin were handed to the students who had taken the subject a year and were still studying it, inviting them to come to the school on the evening of October twenty-eighth. Promptly at the appointed time a wild horde stormed into the High School, making such a commotion that if the ghosts of Caesar, Cicero, or any of those respected gentlemen were lurking in dark corners waiting to jump out they must have been quickly frightened away. Following a short business meeting during which officers were elected a talk was given on Roman houses and furniture, which proved to he very instructive and enter- taining. After that, with the help of a few students, a Latin play was pre- sented, and then other forms of recreation were provided so that the even- ing passed profitably and pleasantly for all. Under the forms of recre- ation might be included the refreshments, which were certainlyenjoyed by everyone, whether he had a liking for Latin or not. About once in two months the club meets in the auditorium of the High School to enjoy a program like the one of the first meeting. At all of these gatherings one of the best liked amusements is the singing of popular and national songs translated into Latin. The general result is quite pleasing, although doubtless rather confusing to the ears of passersby. The students certainly enjoy the Latin Club, and are grateful to Miss Rugg and Miss Hall for making the club possible. W W! I 7? P - Z t si!! ff +V' 39' if X K yy ,ef Q , L, , . 5 ,g L2 'H'-.'L.

BASKETBALL TEAM THE MIRROR 89 FOOTBALL OUR football season was not considered an entire success, although we lost but three games. M. H. S. has played no football for many years, but this year with the aid of our able coach we organized a team, which should in a few years, be able to take the championship of Western New Ylork. Colburn, Stillinger, Boyd, Mael, Hart, Young, Landauer, Horan, Hinckley, Poler, Thompson and Rumble were the main support of the team this year. In the early fall the game of quoits was indulged in freely by some of the fellows. We now have a number of really very talented artists in hurl- ing the doughnut shaped discs. Indoor baseball played out-of-doors is always a popular sport on the campus of M. H. S. and even after the snow had fallen there were many fellows out side playing this invigorating game. BASKETBALL THE football season created quite a bit of spirit which seemed to decrease when basketball began. Regardless of the supplications of the Captain, and Manager and Cheer' Leader the attendance at the games have decreased until at the last game played at the Gymnasium, there were more visitors than M. H. S. students. So let's get a little spirit, come to the games, sup- port the teams and the teams will win! In basketball M. H. S. has been less successful than in former years, although in basketball as in football the team was of amateur material. We hope that in the years to come, Hinckley, Kohler, Miller, Ives, Horan and Stork will come to that state of perfection where it will as a team be impos- sible to beat them.

A very few of the members of M. H. S. were absent, but the greater majority of students were at the Armory seated along one side of the court when the first game commenced. The Freshman boys team of M. H. S. came through with an enormous victory over their opponents, the Albion Frosh. The score at the end of the second half was 2 to 27. The girls team of Medina, after forty minutes of extra fine playing, went down to a defeat with a score of 19 to 2-11. But the most interesting and exciting event of all was the game between the first teams. They started out fast and Medina made the first basket. After that the two teams took turns at the baskets. Because of our impen- etrable guard we effectively kept the opponents from making many bas- kets from close range. Stork, Landauer and Brown who played forward were wide awake continually and lost no opportunities to increase our score.. In the last half the M. H. S. team continued the good Work until at the end of the twenty minutes of play the score read 22 to 30, Medina's favor. We have some fine material for baseball and if circumstances permit, we will make up for the so far, unsuccessful athletic year. With the train- ing received from football and basketball the team should very honorably finish the athletic season.

Jr Qlumni 96 THE MIRROR ALUMNI DEPARTMENT COLLEGES and Nlormal Schools have claimed a good In-any of the class of 1920 and every year a large number of Medina High School stu- dents enter colleges or other educational institutions. This certainly speaks well of the young people of our town who evi- dently realize the value of an education. Many of us cannot go to college, but a High School education is within the reach of practically everyone. Possibly the best word that the alumni could leave with you, High School and Grammar School student, is this: Do not leave school until you carry with you a diploma and all the knowledge you can obtain. Never will the days spent in school be regretted. 1919 Carl Bowen is still at Dartmouth College-but not very still. Kenneth Paine is attending Cornell University. Althea LeVan is at Wrells College. Mildred Wlhipple is studying Kindergarten work at Buffalo Normal School. Mable Benson is working in Rochester. Bruce Hutchinson is attending Syracuse University.

Dean Madam: I take a great deal of pleasure in being able to comply with your request to add my few words to the more fluent and brilliant remarks of other con- tributors to your department. You will pardon me, I hope, if I address myself from here on, to the readers of The Zllirror in general, rather than to your editorial self. Coming as it does from one who graduated from Medina High before any of the present students entered, this letter can hold but little personal interest to any of its readers. So my aim in writing this will be to impart some information about the University at which three M. H. S. graduates are now in attendance. The Universi-ty of Illinois, its personnel, the advantages it has to offer, and 'its standing among other great univetrsities of the country, is not as well known in Medina as I would like to have it. The University is essen- tially a state university, being almost entirely supported by revenue derived from the state taxes. There are registered in the University more than 8,000 students, and more than 7,000 of these 'attend the colleges and de- partments at Urbana. About 1,500 of this number 'are Women students, leav- ing the gents somewhat in the maj ority. Urbana is located about 130 miles south of Chicago, and forty miles from the Indiana line, in the middle of a vast, rolling prairie country. The landscape surely differs from the kind you see about Medina. I am a Sophomore in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and am taking a course in Chemical Engineering. I thought when I entered that course out here, that I was getting into a good chem department. That was my mistake. It is a fact, and not an idle boast, that Illinois has the best and largest undergraduate school of Chemistry in the world, and its graduate department is on a par with the best American or European schools. The engineering College also comes in for its share of praise. It ranks well with Cornell or Boston Tech. and will soon, by virtue of its larger and more complete equipment, have even them outdiistanced. The College of Com- merce, the Journalism courses, the Ag College, and the Coaching School, all rank high and deserve more mention than time and space will permit me to make here. I am a long way from home, 'tis true, but I feel that I can get into just as many difliculties, and become just as homesick 100 miles from home as 700. I find the distance from home is offset many times by that which is an education -in itself,-meeting, associating with, and counting as friends, people whose speech, ideals, and customs are different from those of the people I have been associated with in New York State. 7 98 THE M-IRROR Socially, I think the general trend of events at Illinois is about the same as that of any other live, co-ed institution. On the side of athletics, you can always find our teams, in any branch of sport, well toward the top of the list if not at the head. Last year' we won the conference championship in foot- ball, indoor track, outdoor track, and water basketball. In closing, I am going to take the. liberty to invite every member of the Senior class to consider seriously my Alma Mater before casting a decision in the choice of a college to attend next year. With the wish that The Mirror may attain its greatest success under its present staff, I am Sincerely yours, HAROLD J. SHELF. Colgate University, Hamilton, N. Y. Dear Editor: It is with difficulty that I try to tell you about Colgate in so few words. The transition from high school to college is one of the greatest and most important steps of a youth's life. College life is primarily the supreme advantage that any youth can brave. College is a place for mistakes, and the best college is the one that prepares a man to correct his mistakes, and makes him a man in every sense of the word. Colgate University, nestled among the hills of Chenango Valley, was founded away back in 1816, as a place where men could be fitted to take their places in the world with greatest success. Since -then, it has grown and grown, 'till to-day, it is known the world over, not for its size, but for its fame and ability. And from the smallest to the largest success that Colgate. has achieved, every one is due to Colgate Spirit. Colgate Spirit is that love for Alma Mater, that desire to seek truth and do right, that inquenchable flame, which makes every Colgate team fight to the last minute, and never admit defeat, which makes Colgate men strive until they gain what they seek, and which binds them to-gether with such close. and common ties. All for Colgate is the motto that is on everyone's lips. ' Colgate already has an enrollment of over eight hundred students for next year, and buildings are now under construction to accommodate them. The Alumni Corporation has raised three million dollars for a new gym- nasium, new dormitories and class-rooms. The future of Colgate is even brighter than her past. Athletics are a. prominent part of the schedule, and every man is encour- aged to try out for some team. To-day, Colgate ranks with the best foot- ball teams of the East. If you have the ability, Jack O'Rourke can bring it out and use it to the best interests of both Colgate and you. If you are looking for a small college with real college life, Come to Colgate. May success crown the efforts of The Mirror Staff. Sincerely yours, W. HOLLIS BENNETT. THE MIRROR 99 Colgate University, Hamilton, N. Y. Dear Editor: The average. high school student land I wasn't above the averagej, col- lege appears as something vague and far-off, something for the sick or the very studious type of man. VVith these ideas in his mind, he proceeds through high school in a more or le.ss slip-shod, careless way without ever thinking of -the future or what he intends to make of himself. On changing from high school to college, one changes from a life that drove and held him with more or less punishment into one Where he is trusted to see the right road and then to follow it. Perhaps he is for the first time in his life on his resources. Therefore, he has numerous tempta- tions which must be overcome if he is going to succeed. To a certain ex- tent, a college student's iirst year determines his fate. It is either make or break, sink or swim, service. or perish. Colgate perhaps, to the average person , suggests some branch of perfume, shaving soap, or perhaps dental cream, but to the Colgate stu- den-t or graduate it has a far deeper and more beautiful meaning. I can not begin to describe, with any degree of satisfaction, the college or rather the University that crowns the top of a large hill overlooking the small town of Hamilton other than to say that it is, without exception, the best small college in America. Therefore, if there is any fellow in Medina High School CI say fellow because Colgate isn't co-edj that is looking for a small university with real spirit, let him come to Colgate. Best of success to the year book. HOWARD A. WEBB. Geneseo Normal School, Geneseo, N. Y. Alumni Editor of The Mirror, Medina, N. Y. Dear Editor: It hardly seems possible that but a year ago we were in M. H. Si. Life here has been very pleasant, and we have found the kindergarten work es- pecially interesting. Theory and methods constitute the work of the first year, and the second'year is spent in practice teaching. To be removed from a life of freedom and thrust into one of rules and regulations seems at first a hardship. However, the rules soon become sec- ond nature to us, and 7:30 finds us in our respective places. The school spirit here is admirable, and everyone takes an important part in school activities. The basketball team has given us a good represen- tation in other schools. If you are looking for a school that aifords good training for teachers and librarians, Geneseo Normal is the place you should attend. The best of success to M. H. S. and The Mirror. Sincerely, MARGARET FROST. HAZEL Bo'rsFonn CATHERINE WHIPPLE. 100 THE MIRROR Hamilton College, Clinton, N. Y. Dear Editor: A letter of this kind is so strange and new to me that I am afraid my outstanding ignorance will tempt you to run it under the Joke Department instead of as Alumni Notes. Nevertheless, I am always willing to try once, so here are a few impressions I have received the short time I have been in college. Hamilton College spirit is wonderful. I venture to say that it will stand comparison with any other college in the country in regard to this one thing. I have found also that the courses and the various training which one re- ceives are excellent. Although Hamilton was not my first choice I can truthfully say that she has been more than satisfactory to me, and I be- lieve that I have been fortunate to register at such a college. Of course the life of a freshman is not always the kind to be desired. To tell the truth he is the lowest thing on earth and he is honored with the name of Slimer or Slime, meaning of course that he is down with the rest of the worms. You must appreciate then, that it is really quite a drop from being one of the high and mighty seniors of High School to a plain Slimer in college. People say that it is the best thing that can happen to one. It must he like an oil painting. One has to stand some distance away from it before he gets the true artistic affect. As yet, I am not far enough away' to do this. However, next year I am looking forward to putting the unfortunate Slimer through some of the inconveniences I have had to put up with. Perhaps you laugh when I say inconveniences, but wouldn't you consider it such if you were compelled for a Whole. day to go from one class to another with overshoes on your hands, turning com- plete somersaults. That was one of the many things I had to do. Well, my dear editor, please may I bring this letter to an end bo-th for the reader's sake and my own? Thank you! Wishing you all success for the 1921 Mirror, I am, Very sincerely, HOMER R. LIAYNARD. University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois. Editor of The Medina Mirror, ' Med-ina, N. Y. Dear Madam: I thought perhaps it would be of interest to you to hear something about the University that I am attending. Thinking tha-t I would like to see some of the country farther West than New York, I came out to the University of Illinois last fall and enrolled in a course in Chemical Engineering. Since my arrival last September, I have had the privilege of experiencing all the thrills, the joys and the sorrows of a college freshman. I received my share of bruises in the Sophomore-Frosh class scrap and have been initiated with the customary green cap of all first year men, but all those things go toward the making of a real University life and I have enjoyed them all. THE MIRROR 101 The universities and colleges of the Middle-VVest are much liner and large.r than I had conceived them to be before coming out here. The Uni- versity of Illinois is now regarded as one of the four largest and best schools in the country. Besides a farm of 991 acres, the land occupied by the Uni- versity embraces 238 acres. There are at the present time 53 buildings on the campus, and the State Legislature is now considering a new appro- priation bill of 5B10,500,000.00 for general expenses and a more extensive building campaign. We have at present about 8,000 students enrolled in all of -the departments of the University. I was surprised at the aggressiveness of the school toward the development of all new and better methods of education. After one has been out here and has seen the colleges of the western states, he could never say that they are behind the East in any kind of education. Medina High School now has three of her former graduates attend- ing the University of Illinois-Harold Shelp, '17, and Carl Brown and I of the class of '20. I shall never forget the good times I used to have while I was a member of good old Medina High, and I wish you thc best of success in your work this year. Sincerely yours, GLENN A. JONES. University of Illinois, Urbana, Ill. Alumni Editor, The Mirror, Medina, N. Y. Dear Editor: P It seems quite like old times to hear about The Mirror and good old M. H. S. Even though I am now a member of that high and noble class generally known about the campus as the troop of unsophistic-ated frosh. my mind still wanders back, occasionally to those high-school days in Medina-the days of real sport. g I am enrolled in the College of Commerce here at the University of Illinois. Jones and Shelp have told you about the University, I think, so I will not trouble you by repeating what they have said. I want to assure you, though, that there is no better school in the country than Illinois. I shall like to see the entire class of '21 out here next year. It is quite a dist- ance from home, but once you get here I am sure you will agree with me that it is worth the trip to be counted as a student in one of the three largest and best universities in the United States. The University of Illinois offers' almost every kind of a course that one would care to take up. Study is not all that we do out here, either. I can promise anyone who comes out here, a real good time to go along with his school work. Wishing the best of good luck to the 1921 Mirror, I am Very sincerely yours, CARL H. BnowN.

He took hi-s friends out for a ride, 'Twas good to be alive, The carburetor sprang a leak, Bill-54035. He started on a little tour, The finest sort of fun, He stopped too quick and stripped his gears, Bill-59051. He took his wife down town to shop, To save car fare was great. He jammed into a hitching post, Bill-5278. He spent his little pile of cash, And then in anguish cried: I'll put a mortage on the hou-se, And take just one more ride. liie- Everett Hart fin American Historyi - If a man is born on board a ship would he be a natural born citizen of the United States? Carroll Boyd- No, he'd be 'A Man without a Country'. To-o Late I don't like these photos at all, he said, I look like an ape. The photographer favored him with a glance of lofty disdain, You should have thought of that be- fore you had them taken, was his reply as he turned back to work.

Howard- No, they're running on the tracks. . li Welll Well! I stood on the bridge at midnight, The sun was shining fairg When someone took the bridge away Anl left me standing there. Wrong Sign A farmer hitched his team to a tele- phone pole. Here, exclaimed a policeman, you cant' hitch there! Can't hitch! shouted the irate far- mer. Well, why does the sign say, 'Fine for Hitching'? Teacher- Leland! Sit down in front. Leland- I can't. Mr. Morgan fin assemblyj- Can't some of you double up on the song books? We're not all acrobats like Mr. Mor- gan. Miss Wodke fat gym!- Girls, only half of you are breathing. How Strange Ui T. D. fat Christmas Dancel- There are only eight more dances on the pro- gram. Howard- Well, T. D., all the dances so far have been on the door. .l4L Teacher- Give an example of a double negative. Carrie- I don't know none. Did the sausage see his shadow? queried Sam. You fool, replied Mirandy, it's the ground hog that sees its shadow! Well, isn't that what I said? Isn't sausage ground hog? What's the use of studying? What's the use of labor? Just squint your eye a little bit And copy off your neighbor. Kathryn- Are you wearing your last year's clothes? Velma.- Yes! and probably my next year's Mr. Phelps tafter asking Eunice Ful- ler a question in Civicsl- Eunice knows but can't express herself. Lanny- Try sending her by freight.

And so I paddled toward the land And closely hugged the shore. Miss Scheid fexplaining an example in Geometryj- Watch on the board while I run through it. Mr. Phelps ,in World History to Kenneth Standish- Let's hear you be still once. Mr. Phelps tto Laverne Beetonj- Laverne, turn a round square. Mrs. Turner- Don't let --our Latin get a week back.

Singing by our Quartet, Morning and Evening. Myra Timmerman- Flora, can you punctuate this sentence for me? 'A five dollar bill flew around the corner.' Flora studied it carefully. Well, she finally said, Pd simply put a period after it. I wouldn't, said Verna, I'd make a dash after it. A Story of Songs Once upon a time on Miami Shore, lived Margie and Mickey who were very poor. If a Wish Could Make It So they would have had a Japanese Sandman take them in a Little Birch Canoe down thet'Green River to Avalon, Wondering if When the Shadows Fall it would be A Young Ma.n's Fancy to be 'Wait- ing to make Their Dreams Come True. Like a 'Ship Without fa Sail, they were floating along the Shores of Tripoli, when Out of the East came The Good Ship Nancy Lee with Margie and Mickey abroad. When they disembarked from the ship they said, Hail, Hail, The Gang's All Here and we'll have an Alabama Jubilee. There At the Last Part of Every Party, Margie in her Sweet Little Alice Blue Gown, and Mickey with his Smiles went to The Old Fashioned Garden. Mickey Whis- pering, When I Look in Your Won- derful Eyes l realize there is No One But You and we'll 'build a Love Nest and Let the Rest of the World Go By. No, sir, cried the irate parent, My daughter can never be yours. I don't want her to be my daugh- ter, interrupted the young man, I want her to be my wife. Mr. Roels fexplaining footballj- Here's where the team will stand when they receive the kick and here's where they will kick in. Whys and Wherefores When are stockings like dead men? When they are men-ded: when their soles are departedg when they are in holes, when they are past heelingg when they are no longer on their last legs. Why should no man starve on the deserts of Arabia? Because of the sand which is there. How came the sandwiches there? The tribe of Ham was bred there and mustered. Why is a tom-cat like a surgeon? Because they both mew-till-late. When does the rain become too familiar with a lady? When it begins to pat her fpatterb on the back. Why is a tin can tied to a dog's tail like death? Because it's bound to a cur. What is the difference between the North and South Pole? All the dif- ference in the world. Why are young ladies at the break- ing up of a party like arrows? Be- cause they can't go off without a beau, and are all in a quiver till they get one. Why is a whisper forbidden in polite society? Because it isn't aloud. - Mil, , q fig-ii5?GY tgflg ii s ail -4 aatnsmcm, cum M an S IDG? of i-Blirrur Qhhertisers Ldv 4 x-.'.'viS .1 S ' fx: -,J C -' .

Conception, gestation and delivery happened right here. This husky infant is now being nursed, devloped and put on its feet by local enterprise, and when grown up will work for you, give you employment and pa'y your taxes. However, as in other communities, there are a few boneheads who can't see it, and some tight-wads who want to let George do it. It is your privilege to see to it that Medina does not suffer from their myopia. Remember, boys! What the Old Men have failed to do, you must do eventually, so why not buckle up now?

Specifically so when not more than two or three are to be accommodated with reliable car service. The Ford Coupe is u mighty cosy car, in that it is absolutely water-tight, at the same time with its sliding plate glass windows you can have an open car, to all intents and purposes, in a couple of minutes. So it doesn't make any difference what the weather may be, ruin or shine, summer or winter, in the Ford Coupe you haxe an enclosed car of comfort and service. What more do you want? lt has proven particularly a valuable car for traveling salesmen. physicians, engineers, architects, and others who have much out-of-door work all the year around. We have never been able to fully meet all demands for the Ford Coupe, but with the increased producing capacities of the factory we are now able to make reasonably prompt deliveries. Yet we urge you to leave your order with as little delay as possible-our allotment is limited. J.
