' o ' 0' Page Twenty-two 1 M Qwm, 1DBP'l?j PX 3 I- Pago TlTwventy-three , Greetings RIE-NDS, at last you hold it, our cherished work, in your l1ands! All the year this Mirror has been our care, our hope. At last, you hold it, completed, and awaiting your judgment. We are pleading that you may not judge too harshly. Remember that it contains our very best, that each page is dear to us for tl1e memories that it calls up of the past year. Remember also that we have in- corporated into its- pages all our cherished desires, our highest ideals. Is it not worthy, if it contains just one worthy thought, one worthy ideal? This does not mean that we resent criticism. We expect it and await it as something due us. VVe have tried to harken' to the criticisms that those who went before us received, and in this way to make our book more nearly perfect. Are we not in some measure successful, if we have perfected it just a little? Are we not in some measure success- ful, if we have left a model, worthy in part at least, for those who follow us? But what is the real hope with which we have edited this Mirror ? It is that you may retain an exact reflection of this year, the last one if you are about to graduate, one of the most outstanding if you have not yet neared the completion of your high school course, or if you are one of the teachers in our school or one of our most valued friends out- side, that by means of this Mirror you may retain whatever of worth or of the ideal you have gained during this past year. Are we not success-ful, if we have accomplished, in some part, our purpose? However, do not think for a moment that we take to ourselves credit for whatever of worth there is in this book. All, all is due to those who have eo-operated with us either by contributing voluntarily and gladly their work to be printed or by offering us valuable sugges- tions and criticisms, and to those business men of Medina who have made this book possible by their financial aid. So now, dear friends, in judging, remember our purpose, to portray faithfully the annals of the Court of our Alma Mater, Medina High School, during the school year 1925-26. --The Editors. 0thers One of the ideals of our Senior Class is the word, Others How many of us really think of what this word actually signifies? Are we considerate of other people? Do we disappoint others? If we were only more thoughtful, we would not hurt and disappoint others' so often as we do. We should think how we feel when others hurt and Page 'Pwenty-four '- NHS .- disappoint us. At such times, we find it hard to smiley we think that the world has gone against us. Do hurts pay? No, they do not in any way. Then, why do we hurt other people? VVhy not make friends with others? We all 11eed somebody to do something for us. We need to have somebody to think about, somebody to fill our thoughts and to inspire our deeds. We, who think of others, we, who have time for our friends, shall be by far the happier. Let us all be doing something for others. Life, in any measure of abundance, is to live and to give. --Marjorie Ward. Books By this time we have all learned, that there are very wonderful and interesting things to be found in books. We can read what others are doing and thinking miles away, and what others did and thought years ago. The reading of books is, indeed, a great pleasure to both the young and the old, and we, the students of this age, ought to feel es- pecially grateful for the advantages that we now have. However, people have not always had books to read. There was once a time when people 11ever knew of such a thing as a book. The smaller children would often gather around some old man in the village, and would listen to his words of wisdom. These children often heard about history and stories of tl1e gods, but they were not given such a great opportunity as are the children of today. The people of ancient times didn't even know how to write. The only way that they had of representing things was by signs. Never- theless, a book could not be written by these signs, because they were very awkward, and many people could not read them. After many centuries, however, printing was invented. Then the people were able to print books, magazines and papers, which could easily be read. Many hundreds of books are now printed every year. Think of how much good and how much pleasure we get from books. We can read books about the lives of the people who lived centuries before us. There are also books that contain pathetic stories, dis- cussions and many other forms of literature. How thankful we ought to be for books, and how glad that we can read them. Books are worth far more to us than treasures of gold and silver. Let us students, the heirs of the ages, from now on place greater value on our books and give them their due consideration. -Margaret Gallagher. Pa gc 'Pwenty-fivc A Bubbles Tl1e Freshman class, as it enters high school, can be compared to floating bubbles. While floating through the air, or their school life, its members are seen bobbing up and down in society and school work. Some bubbles, or pupils, are gaudy, a11d some are more sensitive and explode at a pin prick. Some become weak and lose their courage, while others are carried off and are lost. The remaining few sail on their way through school and finish a career, before they are covered with the earth and are forgotten. , --Alice Martin. Modern Chivalry - Wl1at do you tl1i11k Sir Walter Raleigh said when he laid his coat at Queen Elizabeth's feet? Step on it, Kid, step on itf' . This anecdote, although it contains few words, represents the type of chivalry that we find in most countries today, and examples of which are most frequent in our everyday school life. Along with tl1e overthrowing of a great many kings and queens went the ancient chivalrous customs that we now not only never see, but also do not even remember. The. world has changed immensely in the last few years and is now entirely a business office. No longer are there courts where nobility stroll about, waiting for the arrival of some royal per- SOIIHQQ. Instead, we now have business conferences, and thecom- mittees wait for the chairman or president. ln short., this busy world has outgrown the showy pomp and ceremony that was called chivalry and etiquette, and especially is this change true in our school life where girls are given tl1e same advantages as boys, and both are associated in a frank coniradeship that is much more fitting than the stilted inter- course of yesterday. Of course, we .still retain our modes of courtesy and respect for wonianly dignity, but these, although descended from the old-time customs, have been modified greatly. No longer do'we see a Beau Brummel bend over a Iady's hand in polite greeting. Instead, we see the hearty handshake, a11d the tired business man coming home from the office greet his wife with a nod or less often a kiss. He no longer stoops to kis-s her fingers, he kisses her instead. This is in no way meant to be disrespectful, but is rather the attitude that modern chiv- alry takes. Equal rights have dispensed with the necessity for formal chivalry-the girl of today is an out-of-door pal, not a hothouse flower, the woman, a novelist or politician or secretary, not a drooping, swoon- ing female or Q? Page Twenty-six Am Personally, Iam glad this change has taken place, for we young men and young women would rather be brought up in a sensible world than in one that thinks more of style and fashions than of the business of life. Courtesy and chivalry that holds the same high ideals of truth and honesty, but dispenses with the pomp and ceremony, are just as necessary today as ever, perhaps more so, and they will continue to be a necessity as long as civilization reigns. -Donald Cooper. The Schools of Today If an inhabitant of this earth of one hundred years ago were to re- turn and visit our schools, I do not think his impression would be es- pecially favorable. Gone is the earnest youth of his time and in his place he sees a youthful sheik with balloon pants, a daring bow tie, a classy shirt, Scotch grained shoes, and last but most certainly not least, a half jar of grease on his hair. Perhaps seine of these boys are in earnest, no doubt they are, but the old gent judges by outside appearances. lWe must not neglect the---shall If say- flappers UD of our schools. Truly the cause for all the care in dress in the boy- friends lies in them. The old timer would certainly be shocked at the modern dance. fPerhaps he would envyusg who knowstl. - But, after all, this outward regalia covers up something else besides a desire for 'ta hot time , does-n't it? The youth of today is looking forward to something else besides the heavy parties he shall have as a college man. But all this must be 'dry to anyone being forced to listen to it, so I will close with these words-I know everyone pities the old gent with his old-fashioned ideas, but does anyone ever think that he may pity usa? --Hartwell Cooper. The Light of Success Let us drift away for a little while, from' this busy world, on the wings of our imagination and see the little light gleaming just before our eyes. Here is the light of our success. We kindle the blaze that causes this light, we feed it and tend it carefully lest it go out. Some of us are industrious and pile fuel on the little blaze, so that it becomes very large and is noticed by others whose blazes are still small a11d weak. Some of us, on the other hand, are careless, and consequently our little lights go out, black, black out, and we live in darkness where we cannot be seen and recognized by others. There we remain, un- i Page Twenty-seven known and unthought of. VVe sleep there in the darkness While the ashes of our fire become cold, cold beyond all hope of finding a live spark with which to rekindle it. Finally we become chilled and cold, we have no desire to move and We huddle there in the darkness Waiting for another's light to reach us in our misery. But those of us who have cared for our fires, are lighted and warmed by tllelll into greater activity. VVc pile up the fuel on tl1e1n, and soon the light of the blazes reaches our companions in the darkness, Who look toward us for warmth and cheer and creep toward us to share our fire. Would We not all rather be the bright lights and aid those around us? How fitting it is to be looked up to and honored! Then let all of us heap up fuel 011 our fire by Working hard here in school, Where we build the foundation that will determine the degree of success in our lives. -Lincoln Rogers.

KT It was, in fact, a building in itself and communicated with the rest of the great house by a passageway whose narrow, arched windows and dim hangings prepared one-, in a way, for the unusual room to which it led. It was filled with treasures gathered from the four corners of the earth, rare pieces of sculpture rose white and graceful from their pedestals, rich hangings hung on tl1e walls, ugly gods and idols grinned out of corners, great vases of porcelain stood in the recesses, rare old books adorned the shelves and lay on the tables. A whole book might be written about the treasures of this room, and still unique and rare treasures would be left unnoted. On a stand carved with strange figures, half men, half beasts, and with a lotus border, wonderful in beauty, rested a gold hand. It was a singular hand, designed for a purpose of which no one knows. Its obvious use was as a paperweiglit, and yet no artisan would devote such delicacy of design and perfection of work for so commonplace a purpose. The hand was that of a womanf .lt was delicately formed and beautiful. The forefinger was extended, a11d the others rested lightly 011 the tips. Every delicate bone and dimple was reproduced in shining gold. It seemed almost a living hand, so realistic-was it. Around the wrist of the hand was an ornament, a bracelet of green gold-a serpent formed of tiny scales and in its outstretched jaws, a. curious stone of green and red glints was held. The bracelet seemed to be a part of the hand, so firmly was it fastened about the round wris-t. Bob Swan, the owner of these treasures, was a curious lad. At the age of twe-nty-o11e he had traveled around the world several times. Each time he had returned with relics of every country he had visited. The gold hand, which Bob worshipped, had been brought from a mummy's tomb in Egypt. Bob boasted that, when he married, the girl was to have a hand exactly like the gold hand. In Chicago lived a family by the name of Bronson. fBob's mother had attended school with Mrs. Bronson. 'Their daughte-r, Betty, was having a week-end party, and Bob. had been invited. This was his first meeting with Betty. VVhen Mrs. Bronson introduced the two young people, Betty extended her hand to welcome Bob. As she did, Bob cried, The hand, the hand. at last my gold hand. Betty was as- tonished anddrew back. Bob then told her of his gold hand, so much like hers, From this time on, Bob and Betty were inseparable friends. After a six months' courtship, Betty consented to become Bob's bride. It was the night before Bob's wedding, a.nd Betty was to be shown Page Thirty-one through Bob's house of mystery, as the library was often called. Betty was delighted with the mysteries of this oriental room. She seemed pleased 111ost with the gold hand, however. Upon comparing Betty's hand and the gold hand, Bob declared again that they were exactly the same. While fondling and caressing the hand so much like her own, Betty touched a hidden spring and tl1e bracelet rolled into her lap. Bob was overcome with joy. He placed the beautiful serpent bracelet around Betty 's wrist. He then raised the hand to his lips. The eyes of the serpent gleamed and sparkled. VVith a weak little cry, Betty collapsed in a heap on the floor. Bob placed l1er on a large oriental divan and again touched his lips to her wrist, thinking that Betty was fooling him. With a. cry of agony, Bob slid to the floor and lay motionless. As he fell, a small serpent glided across tl1e floor and secreteditself in tl1e oriental hangings of the roo111. It was not long before James, the butler, entered the library with the tea wagon. Witli a startled cry he called Mrs. Swan, and in a few minutes a doctor and a detective were sent for. The doctor was puzzled with the sight that he saw before him. He could find no signs of death by murder or suicide. He did not believe that these were natural deaths, however. Together, he and Gilbert Stone, the detective, worked to find the clue to the mystery. A few weeks later, on Sunday morning, the several members of the Swan family were summoned to the library of their home. Gilbert Stone stood by the large fireplace with tl1e curious bracelet in his hand. Gilbert asked whether any member of the family had ever seen the bracelet before. During the excitement of the past few weeks, the gold bracelet had not been missed by any member of the family. Mrs. Swan however, told Gilbert all she knew concerning the serpent bracelet. After asking several questions, Gilbert told Mrs. Swan that he had found the cause of Bob's and Betty 's deaths. In tl1e eyes of the serpent, a deadly poison had been secreted. Wlien Bob had pressed his lips to 'Betty's wrist, the needle connected with the poison had pierced Betty's skin and entered a vein, instantly killing her. Wlien he again pressed his lips to her wrist, a quantity of the poison had entered his mouth and death ins-tantly followed. lVitl1 tears in her eyes, Mrs. Swan sighed, In death they were united. Gilbert dropped the fatal bracelet on the coals in the large fireplace. As the flames sprang up, on the teakwood stand was re- vealed the gold hand, pointing to the 1na.rble tomb where the victims of the beautiful golden hand slept in peace. -Dorothy Sanborn. l b ' I 0' Page Tl ' 'ty-two Roses of December Tl1e lights burned slow in tl1e long, low room, Through tall windows stars shone bright, And the old man there by the flickering fire Sat alone in the whispering night. His hair was silvered with passing years And his breathing was labored and slow, But his eyes were brigl1t with glistening tears As he dreamed of the long ago. The flickering shadows of soft, sweet dark Seemed gone-and in their place, His old eyes saw a garden, bright with flowers, And a girl with a lovely face! The whispering s-ong of the poplar trees Was lost in her flute-like voice, ' The old man stirred and whispered a word,- The name of his lady, Joyce ' As the branches brush on the window pane Made a silken, rustling sound- He seemed to see her once again In her stiff, brocaded gown. The room is chill with the midnight hours, But he doesn't know it is late- He is hearing her say in the midst of tl1e flowers, Yes, Geoffrey, I will wait. , The young soldier enfolds her close to his heart In one long, last embrace- How sweet she is with her golden hair And her silken brocades and lace! Ah-the years were weary while he was away, The wars were bitter and long, But the dreams of the time when he should return Ran through his head like a song. And then it was finished- The war was passed- , Page Thirty-three ,Qu ,Page i He returned to the garden Q And J oyee, at last. The snowflay deep 'neath the misty moon, The garden was bleak and bare- Gone were the flowers with their gypsy hue Wo1'se! Gone was the lady fair! But perhaps she will wait by a garden gate, Still held by that earthly bond, - Lingering there, midst flowers rare, In The Land of the Great Beyond! Oh! God gave us memory ' s To have red roses in December And a pale winter 'moon in tl1e midst of J une If we but pause to remember. Then the man awoke, as if from a dream, And the room seemed suddenly cold- The spell was broken-the past had fled-. And he was alone--and old. ' How olose she had seemed, and yet he knew That Joyce had long been dead- He brushed a tear from his sweet, sad eyes, And shambled off to bed.

He was just a bit conceited ClVho isn't'?j. and l1ad, or rather cherished, a reputation as somewhat o-f a killer with t.he females of the species. He played quarterback and captain on tl1e football team and was just about as popular a fellow as could be found around Hinsdale. ' ' No one noticed Arthur Eggleston, or Soft-boiled, as he was called. Soft-boiled was a shy Junior who worshiped Dick VVeather- mann. Dick took him good naturedly as a joke. As Thanksgiving approached, people -began to think about the annual game. Hinsdale High played with Sheridan High. Beaten for the la.st two years, Hinsdale had this year turned out what promised to be a winning team. V Soft-boiled had a position on the team, t'subbing for Dick VVeather1nann as quarterback. Although he had never played in a game, he practiced regularly and was very enthusiastic. On the 'eve of the game, Coach Burton held a little meeting at his boarding house H Fellows, he said, I have done all I can for you. Fight hard and have faith in yourselves. Now 'I' wantevery man in bed by ten-thirty tonight, and try and keep your minds off football. As if we could, Dick grumbled to the squad after they had left the boarding house. Say, how about a ride in n1y car to Perryville and take in a show and have some fun? ' Dick and the other fellows piled into Dick's, or ra.ther his dad's car, and drove off, leaving Soft-boiled standing by the curb. Soft- boiled knew it was nine-thirty now, and the coach had said ten-thirty. It began to rain soo11 after Dick and the fellows left town and it con- tinued until the road was as slick as grease. D Approaching a corner, Dick failed to slow down and skidded into a heavy meat truck. It broke Dick's collar-b-one and sprained another fellow's wrist. The rest of the fellows were uninjured. Realizing what had happened, Dick gave a groan of pure misery and fainted. The driver of the truck took the boys back to Hinsdale- in the truck, as Dick's car was a complete wreck. As soon as Coach Burton was informed of the accident, he hurried to Dick's home to be informed by the doctor that there was no chance of Dick's playing. Coach Burton saw all his careful plans lying shattered at l1is feet, as he left the house. As he neared his boarding house, Soft-boiled came hesitantly from the shadows of a tree-. Q Page Thirty-five Coach-I-you know-see here, Coach, I have been practicing the signals a lot and I know them. Is there any chance for me to play? The Coach stared at the boy for a moment, then said, Come up, Eg- gleston. Seated in an easy chair, Coach Burton regarded Soft- boiled thoughtfully. e NN'hat's play number thirteen? he barked suddenly. Forward pass, VVC3lZllE!I'I1'l31lI1 to Gaffney, came the answer like a shot. VVell, Eggleston, Coach Burton stood up, 'tl 'll see. Colne around about nine, will you? Long after Soft-boiled had left the boarding house Coach Burton sat in the easy chair, brooding about the matter. Finally he turned off the lights and went to Dick's house again to talk it over with him. You see how it is, Dick, the Coach said, I am up against it. lf only that accident hadn't happened ! IVhy don't you say if I had only had a few brains? broke in Dick bitterly. 4'Now, Dick, soothed the Coach, youth must obey none but itself, and I am not blaming you. Well, I guess Eggleston will have to play tomorrow, Dick. Dick was able to attend the game and he followed each play with interest and anxiety surpassed only by that of the Coach. At tl1e end of the first half the score was 7-0 in favor of Sheridan. Soft-boiled had given his signals correctly, had made 110 breaks, but there was something lacking in the team. The quarterback must be able to see all crises, and to have power over the team to fairly hurl them to victory. It takes personality to pick up a broken, spent, spirit- less team and hurl it through to victory. The team had played good football, but there was lacking that vital thing called spirit, The team had lost its morale. During the half Dick called Soft-boiled over to tl1e car. Wliat he said will never be known, but when the second l-lf .' l ' ' 'HS ia was just ieginning t oft-boiled broke loose in a torrent of words. Fellows, we are not putting our best into it. The school honor depends on us. Get in there and FIGHT! Get angry and eat 'em up. Come on, let's go! It was an entirely new team that played then. Flying tackles, body blocks, forward passes, line plunges, punts and so on were executed with a spirit that erased the anxious look from Coach Burton's face. The ball was Sheridan's with the score 7-7 when the second half was nearly ended. The Hinsdale rooters were silent and tense. As the Sheridan center snapped back the ball the receiver tried to A o I 00 Page Thirty-six skirt the left. end. As he did so, he fumbled and dropped tl1e ball. Before Sheridan could recover it, Soft-boiled shot past, scooped up the ball and flew toward the distant goal posts. He straight-armed two men, hurdled a third, but the fourth man got him square by around the knees. He struggled forward with a queer jerky jump and fell with arms outstretched toward the white line. The following players piled on him and he sank into oblivion. When he regained consciousness he learned that the referee had awarded Hinsdale the decision by inches. Eggleston's name has been changed to Hard-boiled now. ' -Hartwell Cooper. Boat Song I The night is so fair- See tl1e moon shining there, :Bathing the whole lake in its light! The stars are aglow, - Take your paddles and go. Set out in the glorious night! Chorus: The silver moon shines on the lake! See its reflection clear! Hear the cool waves as they break Against the long, low pier. Dipping our paddles we go On through that ribbon of ligl1t- Sing a song as you're riding, O'er the lake's surface gliding- Straight on through the shimmering night. II A throbbing guitar Sends its song from afar Across the still waters so deep. The night calls to you- Wffome, take your canoe And awaken the lake from its sleep. -Marjorie Henner. I e Page Thirty-seven .Au just a Flower From an Old Bouquet IMITY, a very smartly gowned, young flapper, came tripping Q down the shaded drive just as fast as her extremely high Spanish- heeled pumps would allow her to go. Stopping at a small, rustic summer house she proceeded to powder her abbreviated nose. Then sliyly she turned her innocent big blue eyes skyward just in time to be in a. charming pose as 'ther hero arrived at their rendezvous. No one knew just what it was all about, but 'Dimity had been strictly forbidden by her fussy old uncle and guardian to Hlolly-gag around with any of her 'tsheiksn in his home. And so it was that she and Franco Van Guilder were obliged to have ia summer house in a deserted corner of the noted Houston garden as their secret meeting place. One hour later found Diinity sitting sullenly in her room. From all evidences she and Franco had quarrellcd. The gloriously bright day slowly passed with no one for Dimity to vent her spite on except her uncle whose two and only ambitions were to find a certain species of French orchid and to prevent Dimity from Lolly-gagging around with sheiks. ' At twilight Diniity was aimlessly wandering through the garden when, from nowhere it seemed, a huge bouquet of flowers came shower- ing through the air. Attached to them was a note from Franco saying that true love never ran smoothly. Instantly and with violence her high-strung nerves overcame her demure, sweet disposition, and she crushed the delicate flowers beneath her feet and ran crying to her room. The next morning before Diinity had awakened, her uncle dashed kittenishly down the hall and rapped on her door. Having aroused her he entered her room. The first thing his niece spied was a dilapi- dated bud from her bouquet of flowers. Upon my word, child, where did this come from A? he demanded, pointing to the flower. Witli a drowsy shrug of her snowy white shoulders Dimity rolled over in bed f'Oh, I-say, if I only knew where and from whom this came I'd- why, by Jlove, I 'd give anything! I have been victorious in my search for that blessed French orchid. ' Gasping for breath Dimity sprang out of bed and rushed to the telephone at the end of the hall. '4Franco precious, Uncle says you can have meg do come and take me quick! She turned and saw her uncle looking sternly into her eyes, as if he was about to reprimand her. Then his face melted and he sheepislily said, while shifting from one foot to the other, I guess-by Jove- you 're right, lassie! -Iiucile V.

Perhaps this may be due to the fact that everybody seems to be especially busy this year. At the beginning of the year Mr. Shearer of Lockport and his musicians again visited us. They made us very good offers fo-r instruc- tion on any musical instrument. Many of the students took advantage of these offers, and they are all pleased with the results. The or- chestra was placed und-er the direction of Mr. Smith, and is now rapidly improving. At our next assembly M r. Geoffrey Morgan, who spoke in the Chau- tauqua course, gave us a talk on the value of education. He explained that i11 this country the only aristocracy is the aristocracy of brains,', and that we can not 'belong to this aristocracy unless we have a good education. We all enjoyed his talk very much and profited greatly by it. During the football season 'we had several athletic assemblies, in one of which the football team amused us by kicking the pigskin around tl1e gym. 'We learned several new songs and cheers, and all these things worked up much enthusiasm for the big football game with Albion. t At Christmas time we sang Christmas carols and songs from the new song books that the Board of Education bought for us. The or- chestra played the accompaniment at tl1is assembly, and we all re- marked the improvement it had made. All things considered, we cer- tainly succeeded in making a joyful noise. ' NVe had other assemblies after Regents', which were of especial note because 'they were for the purpose of boosting tl1e basketball team and the Dramatic Club and Senior plays. We have enjoyed all these gatherings this year and hope that they continue to be as good next year. -Loraine Snell. Night School HE NIGHT school courses of the High School proved unusually attractive this year as is shown by the large numb-er who at- tended and also by their favorable comments. Two new classes were offered this year. One was the Shopwork for wo1ne11, and the other, thc Arts and Crafts course. Night school courses have not very long bee11 a part of the public school curriculum in Medina, but already a large number of people have registered forthe different courses. . or ' Q9' Page Forty-two ALP Wlien Night School opened in September, 221 people registered. Classes in Shorthand, Bookkeeping, Typewriting, Foods, Sewing, Mil- linery, Meal-a-day Cookery, Arts and Crafts, Americanization, VVood- working and Mechanical Drawing were run. The attendance was fairly good, and all were pleased with the work accomplished. ln November, classes in Expression and Public Speaking were added. Next year an even larger number are expected to register, and it is hoped that in time the Nigh School feature will become so attractive to the townspeople that it will be indispensable. -Loraine Snell. Regents' Results in Medina High UST students look upon Regents' examinations as nuisances, but I uondei how many have evei consideied the mattei seiiously VVe know that men and women who have acquired their educa- tion in New York state are in demand everywhere and command the highest salaries. Perhaps some of us have never thought that this peculiar situation is due to Regents' examinations. Our own school is considered one of the best in the state. Our scholastic average is always very high. The results of the January Regents' show that 5351? of the number of people instructed both in High a11d Junior High School work passed their Regents', and that 94.976 of the papers written were accepted. This, of course, is an ex- ceptionally high average and 0116 of which we can justly be proud. VVe are striving for even higher results in June. Our ai111 is to have the highest average of the state in our Regents' results. PWe all feel confident that we will reach this goal, if we but keep on trying. , -Ruthe Gould. Christmas in Room 306 HE SOUND of hurrying feet---the bang of a door-the curtains were drawn and the Christnias tree lighted. There was sparkling tinsel, a11d there were brilliant red and blue lights on a soft green background. The excited-lium of voices ceased for a moment, while Elroy announced the songs to be sung. After the singing Viola VVasnock gave a reading, A Christmas Prospect. When everyone had made l1is share of noise, Elroy and Harold, inpersonating the singers of Hewitt-Humorous Hour, entertained the class with some clever original songs. Harold almost received a steady job as a poet. Santa Claus t Steve in costumel came bounding in from the North Pole with the announcement that it was pretty cold--just a gentle hint Page Forty-three fha. that being Santa Claus wasnit a South Sea Island job. Before they knew it, Howard Brege and Harold Waters were the proud possessors of new Fords. Midge', received a rattle with which to amuse her- self. However, she really didn 't seem to need it. Tl1e class president, Francis, was blessed with a bottle. No one knows what it contained. In fact, its contents might have bee11 anything from weak tea to lemon juice. For Francis there was also a huge Christmas box containing a lemon, a twenty-ounce apple tfour-thirds decayedb, and a date. For Fred Ryan, another shining light of 19:26, there was a mouse trap, swathed in medicated cotton, and enclosed in a. nifty muffler box. Fred certainly thought he was being presented with one of those spiffy 33.50 creations on Christmas display in Parkhurst's window. -A nut labeled Mirror for personal use and shoe horn given to Harmonic Club by the Seniors were other gifts. There should have been a cradle for the History class. Then Santa Claus distributed stockings filled with candy to all the members of 306. In the name of the class he presented Miss Ferguson with a gold fountain pen. Thus, contrary to all outside comment, Christmas in 306 was a very joyful and successful event. -Gertrude Woolston. Decorating Room 300 EY THERE will someone please hold this ladder? Say I said Hold it not move it Yes and give me another pin, please! 7 lnllllpq , 1 u . , I tT15f1if.ifl But, Norman, I Just gave you one. I know it, but I just swallowed that one. Norman Garrett was at the top of a rather lofty step-ladder, trying his best' to decorate the lights, while the rest of us, Harold Kruger, Ruth. Neff, and I, gave orders. I suppose you wonder what it was all about. VVe were merely decorating Room 300 for Christmas. We finally finished the lights, and until we ran out of material, we criss- crossed crepe paper between them. Now for the boards! exclaimed Ruth. Accordingly, we twisted red and green for Irish, as Norman called iti and started to put it up in scallops with persuaders fNorman againj or pins. For per- haps half a minute there was comparative silence as Harold mounted the chair and put up the first scallop. Suddenly an agonized: Cuch! My finger ! Can't you tell your finger from that green stuff? Aw, laugh, but it hurts. Finally, after Harold learned how to interpret such directions as, Take it away closer and Put it up lower, and to decide between Page Forty-four NHS -' .al i my instructions and Ruth's, which were always exactly opposite, we almost finished the boards. However, when we were just two scallops from the end, we again ran out of material. By a rather heated discussion. as to whether they should face inside or out, we tried to put up the wreathes. Put them facing in! one would exclaim. Don't you do it either, I know how these things go. Put them facing out ! from another. Aw, have it your own way l However, we finally hung them up. Now we are waiting for the treasury to live up to its reputation and furnish enough money to pay for our decorations. -Ruth Goodwin. that we had a fine time at our party on the Wednesday' im- mediately pI'6C9d111g Christmas A few days before, we had drawn names and had voted to get ten cent presents. These were to be joke presents, which were afterwards to be put on the Community Christmas tree. Wednesday' afternoon we had no classes. All of the afternoon, or as much of it as was needed, was given over for the Christmas parties in the different home rooms. Cur room was very nicely decorated in the Christmas colors. Soon after dinner the party began. VVith Jenny Tulowiecki as our leader, we sang Christmas carols and popular songs. After that we sang iiWQ71'9 from Medina, and then Louise C 'Donnell read a Christmas poem, which we all enjoyed very much. Then we were ready for the presents. These were distributed by the president, Louise Mackey. As each person's name was called, he went to the front of the room and received his present. Then he had to stand before tl1e pupils, open his present, and hold it up for every- one to see. The presents certainly were jokes. There were rattles and horns and whistles and mouth organs and dolls and automobiles. After the presents had been distributed, all of those who l1ad received noise- producing presents were asked to stand in the front of the room and make all of the noise that they could, which was no small amount. Christmas in 300 VERYCNE of us in Miss Ruthe DeLand's room C3035 agreed an ' ' A ' A . ' Miss DeLand, wishing to keep us sweet, gave each member of the class some candy, which served its purpose very well. g By this time it was after two o'clock, and we dispersed joyful and triumphant. A few of the girls stayed to help take down the trim- mings. a Page Forty-five l After wishing one another a f'Merry Cliristmas and a Happy New Year five or six times, we departed agreeing that we had all had a very Merry Christmas. --Dorothy Lee. The l-lallowe'en Party in 206 N THE evening of October 128, 1925, the girls of 206 and a few guests held a Hallowe'en party in the gymnasium of Medina High School. The gym was tastily decorated in black and orange, with corn shocks and jack-o-lanterns at intervals. Everyone attended in costume. As each person entered the door, a number was pinned on her back. Everyone had half an hour in which to guess the identity of his friends. Then, all unmasked. Esther Pritcliard was awarded the prize for having guessed the greatest number correctly. After this entertainment the evening was spent in dancing and playing games. llusky Indian maidens danced the modern jazz with ultra-fashionable gentlemen in evening clothes. Ghosts, clowns, and Spanish senoritas showed a remarkable degree of friendship for each other. Helen VVhite was awarded the prize for the funniest costunte and Barbara Munson, the prize for the prettiest. At nine o'clock excellent refreshments were served in the cafeteria. Whether owing to the sweet cider or to the happy evening, everyone sang and shouted with great hilarity. At ten o'cloek all went home, declaring it the best time they had ever had. -Eleanor Iieliar. The Football lVlen Eat ' WAS hanging around in the afternoon saving my appetite for . thegreat supper which I knew we would have that night over at the school for all the football men when Tom, our football captain, came up and persuaded me to go to help him make the foot- ball diplomas which all the players were to receivethat night. It was five to seven when he finished the thirty-fifth, and we had to hustle around a bit to get there on time. ' As I walked into the dining room a very pleasing picture niet my gaze. In the center of the room was a long table decorated in red and blue in the middle of which a football was placed. Lighted candles served to make the table more attractive and cozy. Large easy chairs were placed about to add to our comfort, while a victrola in one corner entertained us with its .entrancing strains as it ground out the tune of Collegiate, g 0 oo Page Forty-six, VVe all gai11ed some exercise in walking around tl1e table to find our place cards. These were very clever miniatures of football men, and it gave me rather a shock to find that mine was a very large, ugly looking one called Eggs, The places were so arranged that there was- a line up on each side, while Coach sat at one end and Mr. Brown at tl1e other end of tl1e table. After we were all seated the four wait- resses sang a song, introducing t.hemselves to us, and then after Jack Curvin had asked the blessing we all fell to with almost as much vim as we had used in the big game. There was a lively scrimmage over the olives during the supper. After we had downed all of it that we could, the diplomas were passed out. VVe had Mr. Brown and Coach and Tom sign them. This pleased us greatly, so tl1en we made quite a game out of having one another sign the place cards. Coach then distributed the M 's to the boys who had played in four or more games. Then we unanimously elected Bud for our next captain and '4Herb Blount, manager. After this Mr. Brown made a speech, which was followed by speeches from some of the men who are not going to be with us next year: Tom, Cooper, John and O'.Brien. Bud 'and f'Herb also made speeches to tl1e team. After we had given three yeas for the waitresses tllld cooks, we presented Coach with a. present from tl1e team and then we all scrambled out into the night. -Adrian Ross. The Medina High School Orchestra HIS YEAR the M. H. S. orchestra has been under the direction of M1 Smith ouhestia directoi and violin soloist from lock I port. The organization has improved rapidly under his able direction, and before long it is hoped that it will be one of the best high school orchestras ill this part-of the state. A Since last year the number of members has greatly increased, for at last after a series of try-outs the members have been selected to fill the vacancies. The final list shows that Harold Kruger, Monica Phil- lips, Adrian Ross, Isabelle Findlay, Margaret Posson, Daniel Bennett, Karl Schultz and Hamilton VVatson play the violin, Harold Page, the trumpet, Franklin VVaters, the saxophone, Winifred VVi-ight, Ruthe Gould and Annabel Lindke, the piano. Tl1e orchestra has been practising every Monday and W'ednesday afternoon, so that it can play in the assemblies and at all school affairs. Besides these activities a concert is being planned for its benefit. If this is a success, as is hoped, it will give the orchestra a good financial foundation to work on, so that it may become of greater service to the school. Therefore, it behooves the students to give the orchestra all the support in their power on every occasion. --A-Harold Kruger. Page Forty-se en l The l-lomemaking Girls' Luncheon ' HE HOMEMAKING girls of Room 206 and two Senior girls held a very enjoyable little party on Friday, December 4, 1925. Our guest was Miss Peterson. She had told us to invite some- one else, but since she had given us careful training in preparing for this party, we preferred having l1er rather than anyone else. Every day we have our cooking lessons at the fifth and sixth periods. We enjoy the class very 1nucl1, and all of us look forward during the day to this time. Since we had become quite proficient in the art, we decided to have this little luncheon to celebrate. Everyone helped to prepare the good things to eat, and in this way we divided up the work. Eight of tl1e girls enjoyed the luncheon in company with the guest, while the other eight waited on them and made them comfortable. Everybody was pleased and surprised too, when she saw how nicely t.wo of the girls had decorated the table. The colors were white and pink, and in the center of tl1e table there was a very pretty green fern. The service was excellent since two of the girls were ready every minute to carry out all requests. A few jokes that were told added zest to the meal and gave us a better appetite too. Wlien the bell rang for the seventh period, we were all dismissed. After Christmas we had a dinner at which the eight girls wl1o served as waitresses were served by the rest.of us. Again, we had an en- joyable time and wish that more of the students could have enjoyed themselves with us. -Beulah Sharman.

The class is now much smaller than it was when we entered high school in 1922.

Chronicles of the Class of l926 - INETEEN Twenty Six! Tl1e year so long looked for by us all! rig,-.vi How far away it seemed when we commenced our career in 1922, but how swiftly has it come. As we now approach our desired goal, graduation, we feel we can condescend to look back on our past triumphs and even on our past disasters. VVith no small degree of pride can we review our past four years of high school life, feeling' that we have done our best in all things. NVho drea.1ned that this class would accomplish so much when in September, 1922, a lowly group of Freshmen fearfully began its course in M. H. S. Although we did not enjoy the distinction of being the last class to graduate from the old high school or the first from the new, at least we were the last Freshman class to commence its career in thc old school. The upper classmen considered us as the very dust of the earth, but we early distinguished ourselves as superior to and different from the otl1er Freshman classes. Our capable president, Junior Watt, helped us to combine a little social life with the strict course of study advocated for Freshmen. Thus, the year passed leaving us entirely contented with ourselves and very little impressed by the lords and ladies of the advanced classes. At tl1e beginning of 'the Sophomore year, we commenced our study in the new school. Contrary to our expectations, we were placed with the Freshmen. In order to gain better facilities for study the Freshmen and Sophomore boys were placed together, as were also Freshmen and Sophomore girls. What a 'disappointing plight. after our high hopes! However, we did some good be-cause we encouraged the new Freshmen into tl1e path that we were righteously traveling. With Leona Ver- bridge as president for the girls and Bud Ayrault, president for the boys, somehow or otl1er the year was weathered. Once again wc began to plume ourselves on the thought that at last we could take our delayed flight to higher regions. ' Sure enough, in September, 1924, we were formally installed in Room 300. At last, as the saying goes, we commenced to show our stuff We exhibited our good judgment by electing Francis 0'Brien as our president. NVe engaged whole-heartedly in all social affairs, registered for heavy schedules and, as a whole, felt that we were the most active Junior class that had ever existed. In June, we united in giving the final marks of respect to the departing Seniors. Right royally we decorated for them, scouring tl1e country for miles around for flowers. Proudly we escorted them to their seats on the flower-decked stage, fondly seeing ourselves ensconcegl there at our own graduation in June, 1926. At last, the rush and bustle was over. ,The Page Fifty-seven S011l0l'S were gone. As we cleared away tl1e drooping, dead flowers, we reflected that we were now the only Sefniors that M. H. S. possessed. Now we occupy the Senior room, 3015, with Francis O'Brien, again our president, to lead us through this last triumphant year. We are trying to make our last year even more worth while than our preceding ones. Many of us now hold offices in the clubs and societies in which we were once merely members. 'We are all working to make our class remenihered so that when at last we stand with diploma in hand, ready to leave our Alma Mater, it may he said that the Class of 1926 was one of the hest ever to he graduated from M. H. S. -Adeline NVheatley. .....-.itl- Class Prophecy-l 926 Uh! Times have changed since we have left Uur great Medina High-- Class mates are scattered widely- Scattered far and nigh.

Gut Town-fRoom 3003 H F PEOPLE only knew it, our home room is a regular town. .lt I is laid out something as VVashington is, only there aren't so many flowers. You all know 'Washington's streets ru11 in a semi-circle arounl the tlapitol. In our room they are straight up and down in front of tl1e house for the judicialsn and city hall. Both buildings are square, and painted in a rather light ocherish brown. In the house for judicialsn laws are made Eilld enforced. In the Hcity-hall books and cards are kept telling how old we are, what we do, and in fact all our business. Vile have also a public library. Every word written in the English language is in this library. Mr. VVebster donated it to the town. There is but one thing that should be remedied, and that is postal service. I tried to send a note, and it actually took ten n1i11utes of my time to watch and see whether it reached the right place or not. The police service is perfect. Even if a letter is lost, just tell a policeman, and it will immediately be found. 'Usually it will be found, even if the police is not asked to recover it for you. Every month a citizen receives a card with the stock quotations 011 it. Usually the marks on it are low, as this town is too busy otherwise to bother playing the stock markets for high quotations. There are a few other facts to tell about in the description of the town. One is about the roads. Two roads lead into town. One is the North Door Road, and the other is the South Door Road. Wlien you get into town, you 're there for a while as there aren't any good exits to the place. North 'Door Road opens into Main Street, and from Main Street there are seven side streets wl1icl1 are neatly kept. Lights, which hang over the middle of the streets, are burned every night. I nearly forgot to 111ention our tow11 clock. Every one gave so much a 09' Page Sixty-four MHS -' al. toward it in hope he would not l1ave to carry a Watch, but the jewelry stores have had a run on watches ever since. The motto of the town is, Skip to 'gym' every other day. You src that we hold physical training is very essential to our little com: nnfnity. , We shall be very glad to have any one come to visit this town. 1 ani sure he may gain many ideas of a perfect and wholesome coni- munity. -Courtrnan House.

M Past Times of Madam F ate LITTLE old lady of about sixty-six years of age bade her - family farewell. No, readers, she was not dying, she was simply going to an afternoon bridge' party in San Francisco from her home in New York. She stepped into a snappy 1974 model dirigible coupe, and at the moderate rate of a few hundred miles a minute made her way towards the West. XVhen she arrived, her hostess, Isabel Hamilton, announced that sl1e had a surprise for her. She led the little old lady toward at-ui-mined room. L Now you must close your eyes and not open them until lf tell you to. ' - The old lady did as requested. 0pen! said Isabel. - There, before l1er eyes, was a group of elderly men andwomen. 'At first. she could not recognize them, but in a few moments she cried joy- ously, YVhy, my Junior classmates! The party then started. On the way around the tables the little old ladyt had a chance to meet each and every one of her former classmates and find out what fate had given them. A Henrietta Hellwig was a movie actress, and Mary Boyd was her under study. They played mother roles. Mary VanAuker was a still famous vamp of the movies 'for she HGV91' became grey. Elma Nudd was also an actress of Hwifet' roles. Bertha Brazzell, though old, could still step a lively Charleston, as she did on the stage until it be- came out of date. Norman Garret was a famous orator and politician. Margaret Gallagher led the orchestra of a large theatre in Chicago. Alice Coon and Alice Coleman were wealthy, retired toe dancers, hav- ing danced together on the stage up to a few years before. Here was Isabel Hamilton, the hostess, dressed in a riding skirt. She was a ranchwoman and held a record for broncho busting that was envied by many cowboys.-l At another table two wives sat discussing home problems. They were Mary Gregory and Elizabeth Brownt once upon a timel. There was a group of teachers i11 another corner of the room. They were: Ruth Goodwin, Edward VVasnock, Marian Raymond, Doris Cowen, Moniea Phillips, Lee Humphrey andf'H'erbert Schvraderf 11 It The hostess arrested our attention by announcing an lfentertainment given by two famous magicians from lfndia, the Marconi brothers. The little old lady was quite excited as she had never seen these mueh talked of men. She freceived quite a shock then, when outwalked Harold Kruger and Courtman House. After their act Cecelia Hoffman, the 1 1, x f l Page Sixty-nine noted soprano, sang Pm Knee Deep in Daisies. Then Ronald Slac-k did the Charleston. We all agreed there was nothing like the old dances. The Darrone sisters then gave us an exhibition of their skill in juggling, after which Margaret Hanlon, the great comedian, gave us something to laugh at. This excellent performance was concluded with a fashion show with Lucile Crisp, Charlotte Maxon, .Bernice Cielewich, and Naomi Swan as models. Refreshments were served during which it was learned that Ruth Neff was a lecturer on psychology, James Thurston, Roland Wheeler, and Harold Short owned airplane factories, Arthur Shrader was a mystic wl1o could tell fortunes and read minds. Fred Johnston married a rich heiress, and Thelma Wlard married a millionaire after being in the Follies for many years. Catherine Grinnell and Helen Haak were nurses. Aneita Canfield was hostess at the Delmonico in New York. Ruth Chubbuck, Helen Meyer and Anna Mae Higgins were wives of industrious farmers. Lincoln Rogers was a history teacher and explorer. Clifford Miller had retired after making a name for himself by licking Jack Dempsey in the battle of 1930. Nelson Cald- well was a press agent for the great coach, Herbert Blount. Recalling the good old days of Red Grange, both agreed that football ain't what it used to be. Francis Pittard was a gym teacher and caused a sensation with his remarkable skill on the parallel bars. 'Laverne Hill was a. country sheik and Bud Ayrault, a rich young man of leisure. George Elsom was a milk man, Wilbur Hill, a scientific farmer, and Leopold Kiebala, a world famous pianist. Among our business people, some of the most successful were: Catherine Garbarino, secretary to the President, Bradley Smith, ex- pert accountant, Kathryn Stocking, secretary to Henry Ford, Vivien Temple, owner of a chain of drug stores fmanaged by her husbandl, and Clifford Misener, an inventor. A quiet man in the corner proved t.o be Warllace Rich, an engineer. Harold Page and Claud Pask were partners in the mining industry. in Pennsylvania. 3 4 It was getting late, the folks began to say goodbye and go home, but there was one person whom the old lady had not had a chanceto speak to, as yete-a big irish cop in the corner guarding the prizes, who proved to be none other than Homer Servoss. The prizes Were being given out, and Homer was having a hard time looking out fdr so many because Harold Kruger was trying to spirit a lady's vanity case off tl1e table for Courtman. Bertha Brazzel turned to the old lady and said, Say, 'Gert', what did you say you are ? ii' ' 3 I didn 't say, but I'd just as soon. T'm an artist, of course. The next day the papers said, A good time was had by all -4 They didn 't know the half of it-. -Gertrude Laughlin.

NVe arrived at school to find four bobs, instead of two, waiting for us. But the 111atter of transportation was soon settled, and we started on the ride. Frances Van Auker, our president, proved to be quite a Joan of Arc by riding the horses. Victoria Swiatek also braved the fiery steeds. But when lllllen Ennis tried it, you should have seen her. In her knickers, she was a picture of Napoleon himself. After the ride we returned to school. Here delicious refreshments were served by the Heatsl' connnittee.

When the Red Cross drive came along we put it over, one hundred percent in one day. lVe were a bit slow in getting started on our Christmas decorations, but as usual when we did get started, they certainly looked fine. The afternoon before school let out for the holidays we exchanged gifts, which were mostly Mr. VVoolworth's products, Uoach Stevenson officiat- ing as Santa, since the latter was absent. Then came 'tice .and snow in the form of mid-years and Regentsi Of course, nearly everyone passed, and so that danger was averted. After the exams fifteen of our boys went upstairs to the new study hall, taking with them our president and secretary. As a result of this, we held another election putting the people's choice, Clyde Dillon, in as President and Leon Strouse as Secretary. With such able leaders at the helm things then moved along smoothly.

The old inelnbers enjoyed the initiation immensely, although no enthusiastic remarks were heard from the neophytes. However, no naines-fwere added to tl1e casualty list. A large number of suppers have been enjoyed by the club. A pleasanttime and good eats have been always forthcoming. There have also been many interesting speeches given at these suppers. The fannual sleighload was held one Thursday night in January. A dance was given at the High School 'tgymn after the return to the school, and everyone enjoyed himself innnensely. Of course, the lead- ing aridgiriost successful event of the season was the Boys' Club Banquet held tl1eifi1'st week in May. ll'l3jlxiIl6Xt year's Club be fine and have as gool a time as this 5 ear 's 'tlius had !

The initiation is usually helil in the 1 club. Any high school bov IIl'lV become a member if he has latter part of October. It was a dark night and rather warm, a11 ideal night for an initiation. The boys all assembled in front of the Post Utfice. lt was about seven o'clock when the ceremony began. At first, the initiates were attached to a long rope and made to do the snake dance no and down Main Street. They were also made to do other foolish things at which every- body laughed. After a time a truck arrived. The boys were all blindfol'le'il ani loaded into this truck. From town they were conveyed to Norm Cari ett's farm where the main ceremonies were peiforired. 1 Tl1e old ineinbers of the club were armed with eloth clubs -filled with sawdust. They went around among the new members, who were Page Seventy-nine .Q l Page Eiglltv KY PSI SOCIETY lm still blindfolded, and tapped lfllf-l1l1iS!1lHt3fl'lIIff'S gently-with these clubs. The new members would do nothing but respond to this clubbing by uttering the words, Thank you, Sir. l like it, which they had been commanded to say beforehand. Then they were led to a spot where they were forced to get down on their knees and open their mouths, while someone broke a raw egg into their mouths. Not knowing what they were eating, some of them made up some terrible faces. The egg was followed by some kind of a bitter pill that was given to each one. After this the new members were all assigned to their duties. Some were set to row a boat, that is, pretending they were rowing a boat. Others were placed on guard duty, stumbling about in the dark from port to port. And still others were given these sawdust clubs and set to clubbing one another. This continued for some time, and then the proceedings were stopped. The boys were relieved of their duties and allowed to take off their blindfolds. Then everybody went into the house, where hot dogs and sweet cider were served to all the members. The new members enjoyed this part of the initiation most. After the Heats , everybody piled into the truck again and re- turned to Medina. , -Harold A. W.3t9I'S.

This provision was made to help the Seniors procure more money for tl1e trip to Washington during Easter week. A great deal of thanks is due to Miss Ames and Mrs. Hinckley, the advisers. Under their capable direction the plays have been presented, and all the members feel that the success of the club is largely due to their etforts. i Last year, the Dramatic Club began its career. In two years it has overcome all misgivings as to its success and become firmly established in M. ll. S. Success to it in all its undertakings. -Helen Hiso. Meow!!! M I intruding? was the one question that Kitty did not ask. : Perhaps if she had, things would have gone far more smoothly for Uncle Willie CJ. Curvin in disguisel because Willie's sister, Jane, upon whom he depended for most of his money, possessed a de- cided aversion for the stage, and Miss Kitty Benders, leading lady of The Girl in Red Company, was stagey -to say the least. They may be said to have reached the last stage at that! Our own leading lady, Kirmie House, certainly showed his ability. He made Julian Eltinge seem a veritable Tarzan and as for Syd Chaplin's ability to make a cat laugh, surely Uourtman and his wig would have given hysterics to a good-sized tiger. W Although this Dramatic Club play was called The Arrival of Kitty, it was by no means feline in nature. Except for a few digs, it purred along quite nicely, and scored a great success on Friday evening, March 5. The cast was scmfclzcd up from Medina High School, and the falc was long with many clever, original twists. Witli a Dra- matic Club and a Senior play, too, Medina has had plenty of chances to display her histrionic ability, and we hope llel' attempts in this line will always be successful. -Marjorie Henner.

The following were finally selected for admission : Mary' Gallagher, Teresa McNamara, Christine Poler, Margaret Shattuck, liouise Mackey, Alma HrewQer, Louise U'Donnell, Ellen Ennis, Elizabeth Brown, Marjorie Bancigeft, Mary Boyd, and Henrietta Hellwig. Both at school and at the final initiation ceremony the neophytes re- ceived their full share of initiating. Much pride was felt by all incin- heis that for once in the history of the Ergonian society the initiation was kept a secret. 4 ln October, the Ergonians decided to have a Hallowe'en Hop. Although such an affair was contrary to the custom of other years, it was a huge success. Mrs. Poler, Mrs. Phillips, and Mrs. Hinckley acted as patronesses. . The annual Christmas Dance was held December 30, in the High School Auditorium. More work than ever was put into tastefully decorating it in red and green, with the light furnished by floor lamps. The music was supplied by Art Tayler's Orchestra. This time the patronesses were Miss Rugg, Mrs. Francis 0'llonnell, Mrs. Shattuck, and Mrs. Poler. A large crowd was present, and every one enjoyed himself exceedingly. Thanks to the efforts of the president, Marjorie Henner, a.nd the co-operation of the nieinhers, this has hcen one of the most successful years of the Ergonian Society. 1 -Helen Hise.

This Eg- fd club is open to all high school students, who are taking or have i .gi . . taken advanced mathematics. The sponsors are Miss King, Miss Rugg, and Miss Wilson. At the first informal meeting the election of officers was held. Britt Cooper was elected presidentg Gertrude Woolston, vice-presidentg Adeline lYheatley, secretary, and Helen Hise, treasurer. A committee, con- sisting of Ray Mattoon, Harold Page and Ellen liyster, was appointed to draw up the Constitution. At the next regular meeting, the Constitution was adopted and the work connnenced. Mr. Kenneth Cornell was the speaker of the even- ing. He explained t.l1e use and value of the slide rule and gave a very interesting account of its origin. Much interest has been aroused by this club, and a very good be- ginning has been made. The work is instructive to all, as well as beneficial t.o those who may become civil engineers or surveyors. It is to be hoped that the Mathematics' Club will be continued after this year and become a firmly established organization in M. H. S. ' --Harold Page.

This old proverb was proven false when Blount and Cooper crossed that last cfialked line. V - H Coach Stevenson issued a call for candidates very early inlthe season. He got wonderful response, and when all the new and olti O'llllp11lG1lt had been issued there were two full teanis ready and eager for the fray. These teanis frequently went at each other, and with various shifts Coach soon had an A No. 1 outfit running srnoothly. Manager John Watt had the first genre with llevaux here, and from the niinute ffaptain Toni'Reynolds ran his first eleven on the field ,llevaux was outclassel. 'Tlie visiting teani fought hard, but went down to a glorious finish by two touchdowns, one from an eighty-five yard line and the other froni a forty-five yard sprint on an intercepted forward pass. lt was toward the end of the game that the accident which harnpered the teani from then until the Albion gauze happened. Uaptain Reynolds on gallop around left end was tackled from the side and so hurt his leg that he was forced to use crutches for the next four weeks. However, he caine out to all practices on crutches, ani the team cheered on by his efforts tied two more ganrcs on oozy inud lots, lost 0119 during a severe rain storrrvg and lost the other 6-3, only after a heroic defense, holdingithe opponents six inches froin the goal line for four downs. But the final score of our .successful season is already frarnei and inipressed upon the niinds of Medina football fans, and in those two thousand spectators at the Albion-Medina contest. After a big rally Page Ninety-five .l Page Ninety SQUAD--1926 BASKETBALL YS' BO parade headed by tl1e American Legion band, the team was escorted to Oak Orchard Park where the whistle soon blew for the game to com- mence. Albion scored the first touchdown, and Captain Reynolds had threatened to score on a forward pass which put the right pep and ginger into a team that hadn't been going right. After a severe talk by Coach Stevenson at the half, it would have taken an All-American team to have stopped them. Blount and Cooper scored in turn. The team worked like professionals, every man in his place doing the right thing. Ayrault was heading around end for what seemed a sure score when the final whistle blew. Medina will never forget this first victory over the old foe, Albion, since 1914. If as much town and school support is given next year, the old defeats will be wiped out by an overwhelming score. Following is the 1925 schedule with resultant scores: , October 12, Medina 12--Devaux 0 October 19, Medina 0-Lancaster 0 October 26, Medina 0-Fairport 12 November 3, Medina 3--Fairport 6 November 10, Medina 0--Devaux 12 November 25, Medina 12-Albion 6 v-wi,-..i,...,.,...., FTEh our triumph over Albion Coach Stevenson issued a call for basketball condidates. A noble response was given, and ifQ1LJTi49 Coach picked a team of about ten men. They had a very suc- cessful season playing games scheduled by Manager Harold Waters. Not to be outdone by tl1e football squad, and led on by the fine work of Captain Bud Ayrault, the team overwhelmed Middleport, 61116, a game which was played fora half by the subs , some of whom did regulation work in the games and themselves credit. In most of the games Coach worked a shift of forwards, '4June Wfatt and Joe Fay working for one half, Tom Reynolds and Don Cooper, veterans of the team two years ago, working the other half. 4'Horse Cooper held down the pivot position nobly while Jawn Watt and Captain Ayrault did most of the defense work,'going up court now and then and con- tributing two points or amusing the spectators by a show of high-class dribbling.

The girls who regularly attended practice, were allowed to play. It was quite a surprise at the beginning of the season, to note the number of Freshmen who turned out. Ellen Ennis, one of the Freshmen, proved to be a good player and with practice and experience she will become a player like Maude Rands or Chile,' Howe. Ethel Raymond was the star forward this year. lf it hadn't been for her, the games would not have been so successful. - All of the new girls who turned out for practice proved that, with good coaching, Medina in future years will have a team of which she will be proud. Much of the credit for the success of the team this year should go to Miss Reed, who has faithfully instructed the new girls. She has en- deavored to impress upon their minds that, in all cases, good sportsman- ship is better than the mere winning of games. -Dorothy Sanborn. M. H. S.'s junior Teams O VVING to the large number of lower classmen who do not get a chance to play basketball, Coach John F. Stevenson has given every Tuesday night from seven to nine o'clock to their develop- ment of this sport. Coach Stevenson's plan is a fine one. Not only do the boys receive training in playing a11d basket-shooting, but the rules are also strictly applied. s Each team has its captain and manager. The manager arranges games with opposing teams for some Tuesday night and has Coach book them up. Wlhen they appear on the floor Tuesday night, each captain gives Coach his line-up. The first game is then called. All Page Ninety-nine the otl1er teams leave the floor and watch. One of the older boys usually referees, this being splendid training for him. There are a timekeeper and a scorekeeper for each game. This is also good training. All the rules of the game are closely followed, and the right penalties im- posed upon each breaker of tl1e1n. If there is a substitute and he does not report to eitl1er referee or scorekeeper, a foul is called on his side. After the games each boy takes a shower and with a good rub-down is ready for the next game on the next succeeding Tuesday night. These intra-school athletics help build up good material for the future Medina High School teams. The boys will be developed in the sport, and better teams will be the result. Seine of the teams which participate in this sport every Tuesday evening are: The Pirates, The Oskosh-By-Gosh Specials, The Fire- eaters, The Urescents, The Tigers, The Scouts, The lVhite Eagles, The Green Dragons, and other quintets with fanciful names. The Pirates, the most promising team, is made up chiefly of Juniors. A proof of the result of the maintenance of independent teams is the remembrance of t.he Old Cyclone and Arrow teams. Many of their former stars are now on the high school team. Some made up a team called the Scalpers, a very popular team around school a few years ago. They played their own games, and now most of them have quali- fied for the letter, M, because of their splendid work on the hardwood court. -Frederic Ryan. A Plea For Baseball T M. H. S., baseball has probably been played longer than l1as any other sport. It has come to seem a part of the spring, some- thing characteristic of it just as football in the-fall and basket- ball in the winter are almost invariably thought of. As in the past, we are hoping that our team of this year will be the best M. H. S. has ever had. Baseball is not generally regarded as the most interesting sport of M. H. S., but we hope it will soon be on a par with football. Perhaps this might be possible, if the excellent support shown at the recent foot- ball games might be extended to the baseball players. Support the team, and then expect results. Last year's team was not a very great success owing to the fact that the score of Mg H. S. seemed to find difficulty in ascending. We had fine material in the team, but it could11't gain force enough to enter the , 0' .p E ,Q Page One Hundred Winning eolumn. However, great praise is due to it for its persistent Work and great effort under the overwlielming' circumstances. Now that the spring of 1926 has arrived, and we hear the bat and ball ouee more, let us hope for more sueeess. The team is a. little changed this Year, but with tl1e six or seven regulars We possess, there is a splendid chance of building up a winning team. Let us be supreme in baseball as well as in other sports. VVith tl1e odds for us, the school supporting the team, Why shouldn't we win? M. H. S. wins scholar- ships, football games and basketball games. VVhy cease there? Let us not lower our colors, the glorious Red a.nd Blue, but let us plaee our baseball team on the Winning side for the honor of M. H. S. Stanley Warml. ? .Q ' SPT:-,X 4 f 1 '- it CNA!

Wlien Father Time started looking over the groups in the book, he found everyone present, so l1e immediatf'j' presented it to his audience, who were a very up-to-date set. Tl1e first picture brought forth screams of laughter. Look at my dad, will you! yelled a short, fat lad by the name of Francis Cl'Brien. He looks as though he'd like to jump right out of the picture. He didn't receive many looks at this 11101119Ht, however, for almost everyone was absorbed in reviving a young girl by tl1e name of Eliza- beth Ryan. She had fainted upon looking at the august picture of her pater. Tl1e enthusiasm was waxing strong once more when suddenly a girl spied her mothcr's face, smiling broadly. Oh, my dears, isn't life perfectly won-der-ful? giggled the daughter of Helen Hise. More excitement was being raised on the other side of the room just about this time, by a young, skinny, tall, goggle-eyed youth who was posing on a step, trying in vain to assume the look of grandeur that he had seen expressed on the face of his father, the Honorable Elroy VVeet. ' Meet me tonight, all alone, sang out the voice of one of the girls of height about six feet and avoirdupois, one hundred and fifty. She was taking in rapturously the features of her mother's face, Loraine Snell. Help I called a voice which was recognized as belonging to a young man tall and fair, Wl10111 no one would fail to recognize as the son of Ruthe. I think she's going to melt, my mother I mean. He had no more time to think, however, for just then the book slammed forever, and Father Time raised his hand in adieu. .LY B T VVAS A long, long time ago in the Memory t'Mirror Land ' - I.

O 09 Page One Hundred Foui -was .- 4,- Exchange department home, all in one bunch, and rubbing my slightly bruised head, I sat there in the corridors or rather on the corridors of the second floor. The inhabitants of this floor have been described by a former student as the filling of t.he school. They certainly did fill my cup of sorrow and disappointment to overflowing, for as I sat there contemplating the destruction wrought by my fall and the mass of books now having a very fraternal and mixed meeting, the bell for the passing of classes rang. And then t.he fun began! From all tl1e rooms along the hall hordes of pupils came, and it seemed to me that I could completely sympathize with Napoleon at Waterloo, for these people swarmed over the stack of books and incidentally over me and actually fought with one another for possession of the books. It seemed to me that a full fledged riot was in the making. To my now da.zed and deafened ears came the sound of the tower of Babylon babel over again. Here a strange voice said, while regarding the South Bend Interlude from South Bend High School, Indiana: They certainly niust have some geniuses at that school! And look at these jokes! Boy, they 're the best I've seen in any school book this year! And they certainly have a live wire advertising staff! But don 't you think a few school cuts would improve the paper? Their Exchange editor has some clever idea in this February issue for his write-up. Another voice and foot also imprinted itself upon my brain tif there is any such animalnl. Look at this Batavia High School 'Picayune' from Batavia, N. Y. More clever new jokes and stories! I certainly admire their appeal for more support for such a successful football team. A live wire book in every respect, but why not organize your jokes in one department? Next, comments on the Waterport Aqua- portus came to my ears. A very fine book, but why not sprinkle a few school pictures through it? They certainly have poetic ability there. A good little book was the next remark that dinned itself on my senses. VVho could that be! Oh, yes, now I heard it! The East Pem- broke 'Gossipf East Pembroke, New York, but why don 't they ad-d a few pictures and jokes? Then I heard comments on two school papers. The H DeVeauXian, Niagara Falls, N. Y., was tl1e first newsy little paper that passed in- spection: f'Always glad to hear from such a good paper. The other was Hill Topics, from Masten Park H. S., Buffalo, N. Y. This is the best school newspaper I've ever seen, and just look at that page of good jokes and see how cleverly the school news is written up. Then suddenly the bell rang and the horde of pupils dropped their books and ran, leaving me with a pile- of books about me, to take full blame and care for this disturbance! But such is the life of a writer on a school paper! -Leonard Horan. Page One Hundred Five Q Page One The Ghosts of the Court The old order cha-ngeth yielding place to new.

VVe are not being entirely forgetful of past joys Cand sorrowsljl when we say that, for we think of you and believe in you, trusting that you will uphold the honor that we owe to our town, our school, our faculty. Perhaps you think that when we are gone we have no thought of those we leave behind, but, somehow, we have kept within our hearts a memory of you that is dear to us. Vile miss you, and we hop-e that you think of us once in a while. We are always glad when we hear that M. H. S. has come out ahead fulfilling the desires of those who are upholding its honor.

A swift motion of the hand across tl1e cheek! Then the tears oozed slowly forth from the dark eyes of tl1e girl seated so disconsolately beside tl1e window. Yes, that was the boy. How she adored him! He l1ad been l1er ideal, and now-. The tears fell faster, and little sobs were choked back only to rise again with surprising speed. How sl1e could remember the night of that dance! He had told her sl1e was the only one in this world for him. It had been so wonderful. so romantic! It had thrilled her very soul and then-. Oh, that it had cometo this! Yes, there had been letters, first-short, courteous ones, then-page on page of assurances that she was the most adorable, lovable person on earth. k At thought of these past days the girl's self-control entirely gave away. Laying her head on the window sill she burst into hysterical sobbing. Do you not ask why she should cry so bitterly? Had this loved one been hurt or was he now dead and she, faithful to his memory, was mourning his loss? Just then a book fell from her hand. It was named 'tThe Mirror, 1926 Uh, yes, we understand now. This is one of the 1926 graduates C ' X I 0' Page One Hundred Fourtee away at college. It is Monday evening--blue Monday. After a trying day, possibly a quarrel ,with a new love, the girl has been looking at her Mirror and has been crying at memories of the good' old times pictured there and at the sight of her bien-anne of M. H. S. who will again be forgotten on the morrowwhen the most recent one patches up the quarrel, and a new and stronger love begins. -Adeline Wheatley. Hidden Treasure I was very ill and could not leave my bed, but I worried, for in a building far from my home was a priceless treasure. This treasure was the only thing I had, and if anyone got it I would be lost. Probably now someone had it. In a few days I was again wellg so I hustled to this building. Up three long flights of stairs I flew as I was anxious to learn my fate. Into the room I rushed and searched among the ruins and alas! there in the corner, undisturbed, was my priceless treasure, my pen. The building was the Medina. High School where I went to school. The ruins were some of my books, especially my Ancient History and my dilapidated Silas Marner, which had been passed down through three generations. All the other books were not so shabby and worn. Somehow you wonder why my pen a priceless treasure to me. I have had ever so many pens, but this one I like best. Almost every- one borrows it, and I am afraid that some day it will disappear. So I am very careful to see that I always get it back. During my illness I thought that some one might borrow it and forget to return it, and then my best pen would be gone, but it was not, thanks to everyone! -Cecelia Hoffman. A Word to the Wise- One of the greatest tragedies known to the country occurred in the little village of T-- early VVednesday morning of the past week. Rumors of the great fire spread rapidly, and relief workers and on- lookers from the neighboring cities and villages of the county turned out in goodly numbers. In fact, the whole country was agog over the horrible news. The first glaring headlines told the awful story as rescuers and early onlookers saw it, the charred buildingsg the smell of burning cattleg the homeless children as well as young men, young women, old men, old women and even older men and older women. Page One Hundred Fifteen I The pathetic story is told of a young child vainly endeavoring to save her precious puppy. The flames leaped high and caught her clothing and badly burned her tender flesh. A hysterical mother rushed to the child and hurried her from the scene to a place of safety where her burns and sorrow were treated in a manner suitable to each. The fire company was called out, but it was practically powerless to do any- thing a11d the trucks had to be abandoned to the flames. The weeping and wailing of the village folk continued-the children called fretfully for mother. NVhen some choice treasure was missed, horrible cries of anguish rent the air. Piercing cries of suffering touched the heart of everyone. c The whole village must go. Then with- out a single warning the rain descended in torrents. The smoking debris is 'left-the once lively village is gone-the happy children are subdued and quiet-there is no more happy play for that day. Toyland complete has been destroyed when attempting to stage a fire and put it out with the toy apparatus. Mary's cloth puppy is gone-the paper dollars are no more, and a very naughty little girl gravely looks at the ruins and occasionally glances at the bandaged hand. The child reflects that the day she learned where the match box was, is a sorry one. The water bucket is in the foreground, a11d fading out of sight is the entire neighborhood gang quietly going to their respective homes. The fire is over, but the lesson will remain. I -Alta Amos. Love With the Stars VVhat a beautiful scene it was! One- that thrilled me through Zllld through! The moon was shining softly over the rippling water, and the leaves of the graceful trees rustled gently in the soothing breeze. It was late in the evening and the quiet that prevailed was enchanting. Yes, it was a night for romance. I sat in the shadow of one of the drooping trees, dreaming- dream- ing. Suddenly a sound caught my ears, making me catch my breath in a very ectasy of joy. I listened breathlessly. It was the voice of a woman. Nearer and near, it came. Softer and clearer it rang out into the still night. This sweet melodious voice enchanted me. Oh! It might be my dream lady coming to meet me in the moonlight. It was the Prisoner's Song she was singing. I thought of my poor lone- some self, and tears of self-pity filled my eyes and gradually overflowed. The voice died slowly away, and now all I could hear was the sound of a paddleucutting the water. A canoe slid over the silent water into the caressing moonlight. The young lad allowed the paddle to float away, as his hands loosened their grasp on it, His eyes were fixed on , . . , , . . .,.,. . bl, oo Page One Hundfed Sixteen J' his pretty comrade. With great danger to his precarious position he sank to his knees and with arms outstretched broke out into the ex- pression of his love. Jane, Jane, how chawming you ah. 'Pon ma word, you ah the only girl in this world fouah me. Jane I adore you. NVill you marry me? As the last words rushed from his mouth, he rose to his fe-et, lost his balance, and struck the water with a most unceremonious SPLASH !

Page One Hundred Eighteen oo The French Class as Viewed by the Clock I ani one of the many wonderful clocks in Medina High School, and happen to be situated in Miss 'DelQand's French room. This room is quite interesting, although it is somewhat puzzling to try to understand all that is being said. I think the French I class is the most interesting, although I don 't exactly know why. Perhaps it's because some of the conversation is carried on in English, for tl1e pupils are not expert enough in French to speak or understand it a great deal, and the teacher has to use Eng- lish often to make t.he pupils understand her. In the other French classes, they do not speak in English a great deal. VVhen the French I class enters the room, of course there is a busy humming, while the students talk over the leading events of the day, and other topics of interest. However, the room becomes quiet, after Miss DeLand enters, and then the physical exercises take place. It is somewhat amusing to see the expressions on some of the faces as they try in vain to puzzle out what exercise Miss DeLand is telling them to do, since she gives tl1e commands in French. However, their faces usually brighten up as they see Miss DeLand, or some of the other pupils doing the exercise. Then they follow and end up, not more than four counts behind. . After the exercises are over, the pupils sit in breathless silence won- dering what is coming next. If Miss DeLand produces some paper from her desk, they do not all look greatly pleased, for they know that this means a test. If she opens l1er book, and tells someone to read, they all look relieved fexcept, sometimes, the one called uponj. Sometimes the teacher says something about keller tquelle heurel and they all fix their eyes on me, while someone rises and attempts to answer her. I guess they must be talking about the time, or about me, but I can 't understand what they say. VVhen the class is over some of them are glad, but I think they all enjoyed the French class just the same. -Dorothy Lee. I . Hot Butterscotch Sundaesl It was about four degrees below zero, and we felt the need of warmth. So when the clerk approached we said in a chorus: ' ' Hot butterseotch sundae. However, at this time we never realized the world's cruelities, pos- sibly not even the half of them. The hot butterscotch sundaes arrived. VVe viewed them in awful admiration, and then we began our labors. After a few moments Peg spoke up: I Page One Hundred Nineteen 4.'Oh! Mister, I need a new spoon. And it was the truth she was speaking. The spoon, a long-handled aifair, was gummed up beyond recognition, in fact, it looked like a cave man's club. But my attention could not wander long, for I was-in deep trouble of my own. Peg, I said at length, I thought my spoon was like yours, but look at it, it has a bent handle, just like a b.aby's spoon. Sh! she cautione-d, if you step on it with your heel, you can bend it back. This being successfully accomplished, things began to proceed calmly for a time, except that Peg knocked over her glass of water while battling with the lower crust. Wlieiii the clerk was looking out of the window, I made a last futile stab. A portion became dislodged and, must to my delight, landed only a little way across the table. It was about this time, I think, that we heard the proprietor tele- phoning a policeman. Scooping up the last bits of the once beautiful sundaes, we hastily departed. Peg's chair was minus one leg on the right side, and I had made a respectable sized crack in the glass table top. It was not until two days later that we were able to get our tooth brushes into our mouths. And neither of us could figure out how tl1e clerk got the dishes clean. i . VVe suspected dynamite! -Ellen Lyster. -l -ll This ls No Joke Hold your tongue, said the shoe. 4'I'm right on the tick, said the watch. Don't give out, said the battery. Well, I'll be swamped, said the canoe. Always keep cool, said the refrigerator. Lead others, said the chain. Be self-supporting, said the suspenders. Well, I'll be dinged, said the bell. Don't hang aroundf' said the rope. t'Learn to see through people, said the X-ray. I'm on the blink, said the light. Let me reflect, said the mirror. -Masten Park Hill Topics. Page One Hundred Twenty i 1 MHS -: .l M Day ln Songland 'Good Morning,' greeted Red Hot Henry Brown. 'How Do You Do,' ' responded the prisoner tnow releasedb. 'Clap Hands, Here Uonies Uharlie,' said llenry. How are you fellows going to dress for the masquerade tonight ? asked Charlie. I'1n going to dress 'Collegiate', replied the prisoner. I'1n going as 'Christopher COl0I11lJ0' et vous? this from Henry. 'You'd Be Surprised', and then Charlie continued, 'NVho' tfroni Sunnyj are you fellows bringing to the party to- night? 'Dinah' is my choice, replied Henry. l'1n bringing 'Lillian', said the prisoner, 'Who' Cfroni Sunnyl are you bringing? I 'Sweet Georgia Brown'. U, K. But 'Don't Bring Lulu'. By the way, Charlie, 'Who' Cfroni Sunnyl were you out with last night? i 'That Certain Party , but where were you the night before last when I tried to get you on the telephone? 'Paddlin' Madeline Home ', was the answer. Say, Henry, wl1at time is it? I don 't know, 'I Miss My Swiss', while it is in the jewelry shop. Always as a party of such Masculine VVo1nen and Feminine Men on a June Night in Normandie so many things happen that it is impossible to relate everything. However, the following are the most important: In one corner a girl sat All Alone, and apparently Feeling Blue. A gentlenian thought, 'Oh, Boy, VVhat a Girl ', approached l1er and asked, 'Brown Eyes, 'Why Are You Blue '?' She answered, 'My Sweetie Turned Me Down', and I 'Want a Little Lovin '.' VVell, cheer up, for 1 n a Night Like This you should Save Sorrows' and 'Smile a Little Bit', for 'What Could Be Sweeter Than You.' 'Sweet t'l1ild', 'lget Me Call You Sweetheart' Ellld then 'Every- thing's Gonna Be All Right' for 'You Have Me, 'lf Have You'. We 'll get the license 'Tomorrow Morning', spend our honeynioon on the 'Bain Bam Baminy Shore', and then live 'Down By the IYinegar VVoiks'. VVhen she consented he shouted, 'I'ni Sitting On Top of tl1e W'orld'. ' So1neti111e during the evening Someone shouted, 'I Wish I XVas in Peoria', 'Then I'll Be Happy'. He was l1I11116GlFlt9lY asked why. ' I ' ' ' ' ' I .Your - Page One Hundred Twenty-one .Qu He replied, Here's the 'Sweet and Low l3own': 'Remember' 'Sleepy Time Gal ? NVe1l, she's there and 'Yes, Sir, That's My Baby ', and 'I Love My Baby and My Baby Loves Mel. A voice from the crowd then advised him to Go South. There was evidence of Too Many Parties and Too Many Pals in the actions of Sweet Man . He went off in one corner, covered him- self with Tl1e Spanish Shawl and went to sleep. The farmer fthe guy that took another load awayl found him there and woke him up. The sleeper inquired of him, 'Do You Believe in Dreamsl' Yes, responded the farmer. Well, then, said the other, ','I was just dreaming that 'WVhen the Une You Love Loves You,' '.lt's a Great Little NVorld', so 'llon't Wake Me Up, Let Me Dream'. I will, promised the farmer, if you will tell me where to find my 'Loola Paloola', the 'Pal of My Cradle Daysl Shc's 'Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue', and 'Everybody Loves My Baby'. Henry and Dinah confiscated the porch swing and began to oscillate. They probably osculated als-o, for Henry could be heard to say, 'Kiss Me Again'. Dinah demurred but Henry insisted that she would sooner or later. Dinah wanted to know what made him so certain. 'That Certain Feeling', was his reply., Vllhen she asked him if he loved her he replied: 'Wlio Wouldn't Love Youl' ' Henry suggested that he go inside and get a couple of glasses of beverages to be drunk to her health, but she stopped him, saying, 'Drink To Me Only VVith Thine Eyes'. Henry complied with her request and after a little while was heard to request, 'Show Me the Vlfay to Go Hemel Tl1at's All There ls, There Ain't No More to this story. -Masten Park Hill Topics.
