On the other hand, if he should say that he had been to the library, no one would become amazed. But the person who goes to the new library, which was so kindly given to the people of Medina by Mr. Lee and his daughter, Mrs. Mary Lee XVhedon, visits through books all the places that were mentioned in the opening sentence and more. There are books that provide amusement, books yielding historical knowledge, books of travel, books on religion, books on the progress of science and invention, books of poetry, and books of prose. Today you have before you another book-one which will acquaint you thoroughly with the life and work in Medina High School, our noble Alina Mater. Within its pages the reader will find t.he secrets of the students, their tragedies, their humorous incidents, and flights of imagination, dis- closed to him. The members of the staff have done their best. The rest remains for you. Is the book worthy of a place among the others of the world upon the shelves of our library? As in other years we have been assisted in our work by Miss Fergu- son, our English critic, Mr. Brown, Superintendent of Schools, and our advertisers. To them the staff extends its grateful appreciation, -The Editor. The Speaking Contests l4lDlNA 'High School has held two prize speaking contests this V year, one on .lanuary 31, the other on February 19, both con- tests proved very successful. That, of course, is the conventional way of saying that the contests were worth all the effort put into them, and brought into the light some speakers of enthusiasm and promise. VVe shall speak briefly of the awards: in the first contest, Bertrand Mallison took first honers, followed by Bernard Hart, honorable men- tion, and John Munson, for the boys, and Gertrude Arnett took first prize, Mabel Ross, honorable mention, and Alice Hates, for the girls. CForgive us if we have violated a sacred law of courtliness by men- tioning the boys first and the girls after thenrj YVe shall not make this error again. At any rate, it is only fair to mention the boys first, they deserve more honor for their achievement, since with girls talking is a gift of nature in the beginning. Page Twenty-eight , l THE MIRROR Vie ean not help remarking on the ex:-ellent ehoiee of topies in this l'irst eontest, and it seems of striking signifieanee that two topies in the hoys' eontest were two ot' the most vital and prominent topies of tl1e day. The first was tt l,indherghfAmhassador7' g the seeond, tt The Aholi- tion of War. And the third oration was likewise a prominent sulvjeet to ns, sinee it was entitled The linknown Soldier, and was a work of the gifted and powerful hand of one of our foremost present-day authors, Brnee Harton. We noted, also, that amonq the worlfs ehosen hy the girls appeared one of Fannie -Xlhonrne's delightful an'l human sketches. We must not, however, forget the seeond prize speaking' contest, for it is no less deserving ot praise than the foimer eontest. 'llhose who entered the field of hattle weie Ruth Altman, Mary Kerr, Elaine lien- nett, Uarlton NYalters, liohert lloyer, anl Gordon Howe. Ont ol' the melee Mary Kerr and Gordon llowe emerged triumphant, their re- speetive topies heing: The Gift of the Magi hy that master short stoiy writer, U. Henry, and 't'l'he King of l3oyville hy William Allen White. We are glad to see that so many stnxlents are interestel in pnhlie speaking, for it is a praetiee that will prove itself more angl more val- iiahle as time goes on. The prizes aie of little eonsempienee eoniparel with the improvement in poise and speaking' ahility. Speaking ot' prizes, we notieed that the prizes of the sec-on'l eontest were mentionel on the programs, lout there was no statement of awards on the programs ol' the first eontest. NVe trust, however, that sneh an omission does not mean that the speakers did not gain some reward for their efforts, for a little visihle reward eertainly does make a differenre, as we onr- selves ean testify. Besides, it is as a ll2lHfll50lK'lllCli to diy the teal s ot' a weeping purse. lint, to get haek to onr siilmjert. puhlie speaking de- velops voeal power and Cl'li0f'tiVG1lFSS, and ineieases a person's vom- inand of English. Most persons, in talking, don't open their lips widely enough, hnt mnmhle and mutter their words nnintelliqihly. The contest training helps to overeome this failing, and makes the speaker irore interesting to his listeners. Hefoie leaving our topie. we must not forget to mention two other elasses of people, namely, the eontest diieetois npon whose skill and patienee iests the sueeess of the eontest, and those who eontrihuted nmsie to give variety to the entertainments. The directors ineluded Miss Greta Ames, Mrs. Olga ll. Hinckley. Nliss Aliee l. Loveland, Miss M. Genevieve Smith, and lX'lr. llavis S. llollister. Among the musieal entertainers were Ellen Ennis, voeal soloist, Regina McClellan, piano soloist, Parl Brooks, saxaphone soloist, and the girls of the Harmonie Cllnh, led hy Miss Cooper, the musie teaeher ot' the High School. Every one of these entertainers gave exeellent perforinanees. VVe envy them their ability. fEllis James. Page Twenty-nine T H E M I R R 0 R Our Assemblies EDINA High has l1ad a number of interesting assemblies this I year-assemblies of all kinds, for Hvariety is the spice of life. 51243 These assemblies started in October during the football season. As We cannot attempt to take up every one of them separately, we shall merely give a general summary of them. The first ones, of course, were for the purpose of getting a good supply of pep with which to support our team. Milford Grinnell and Clyde Dillon, cheer leaders from the Junior and Senior rooms respectively, supplied the t'pep , and did the job Well, too. Assemblies are certainly worthwhile 5 they put punch and snap into the school spirit. And another thing-we have a good song leader, Miss Smith, who has directed the singing in all the assemblies. At a number of our assemblies We have had speakers, and they have been interesting talkers, too. In fact, We have never before had so many and such interesting speakers-men with vigorous personalities, who have had something really Worth While to tell us. lt is a treat to listen to such men, for they give us many ideas to ponder over and benefit by. Among these men We must mention one who gave for us a reading of scenes from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, 'Hlulius Caesar, and Macbeth.l' The display of memory and of flexibility of voice was amazing, and gave us a better idea of real repre- sentation on the stage than we had had previously. Perhaps the most important of our assemblies have been the ones conducted by students. These have been given every Vllednesday for some time in the past, and have covered a Wide variety of entertain- ment and ability. VVe call them most important, because they have shown student talent, Whether in singing, instrumental music, public speaking, or fancy dancing. There have been violin, saxophone and vocal solos, recitations from the prize speaking contests, the delivery of original essays, talks on high school subjects, high school training, and extra-curricular activities, and fancy dances and other perfor- mances that are very interesting and require considerable skill on the part of the performer. And-oh yes! VVe forgot to mention some cleverly executed piano solos. In fact, We have so many solos on our list that all we lack now is an airplane student's solo. Student conducted assemblies have for their purpose the bringing out of the hidden talent and ability students possess, which would other- wise remain hidden and, therefore, be Wasted. And, besides, the ap- pearance and performance before one's fellow students helps to over- come that aged, yet only recently christened, obstacle, the inferiority Page Thirty T H E M I R R 0 R complex. Appearing in public and doing something to entertain an audience and win its approval increase a student's belief in his own ability, and give him poise and self-confidence. And underneath these other purposes of student conducted meetings, lies the very important purpose of preparing the student for life with his fellow citizens, as he will have to meet it after high school. The students who get the most benefit out of these assemblies, We believe, are those who have to con- duct the meetingfnamely, the chairmen. The success of the meetings rests upon them, and thereby they gain valuable experience and in- creased poise and confidence. VVhen enumerating the musical performers, We are sorry to say that We neglected two of the most praiseworthy, the Medina High School Orchestra and the M. H. S. Band. The orchestra, single handed, has put on several worthwhile assemblies, besides playing for the student sing- ing and in the general assemblies. In closing, let us say that we are pleased not only with this idea of student assemblies and yvish them to continue, but alsothat we owe a big debt of thanks and praise to the leaders who have made them pos- sible. another success on the evening of Bebruary 11 and 12, 1929. Second Childhood went ovcr big both nights. The crowds were in an uproar so continuously that the players had to Wait often- times before continuing their lines. In the small town, Cohocton, Indiana, a Doctor of Science, Clyde Dillon, discovered what he thought to be the t'EliXir of Youth. 'i Through a comical turn of circumstances, the professor, his assistant, Arthur Raymond, his sister, Annabel Iiindke, and his daughter, Marcia Munson, were all led to believe that a Wealthy old gentleman, IYill Blackburn, had been turned into a baby. The play rushed uproariously on to a ludicrous climax. The other major actress was Anna Spiller, daughter-in-law of General Blackburn. Second Childhood NDER the able direction of Miss Ames, the Dramatic Club scored 4 4 AN 11 , , D The majors were well-supported by the minors: Judge Grinnell, Florence Boyle, a gossipy neighbor, Mary Morgan, a neighbor, Mar- jorie Hill, the aged mother of Florence Boyle, and Sheriff Carl Cald- well. There have been numerous favorable comments on the play, and Miss Ames is to be congratulated on her good work. -Carl Caldwell. Page Thirty-one QM THE MIRROR A Background for Lite IFE requires of edueation three things: a working knowledge I of praetieal faets, praetieal experience, and the refinenient of the natural forees of the individual, which ineludes his physical, inental and outward abilities. And the last nanied include speech, poise, and personality. lf, when education has played its part it has given to the student these things, has become a baekground for life, 'hen it is tluly an edueation, otherwise, it is little better than waste. 'llhe present day high sehool is, I believe, doing' a great deal to fulfill this purpose, although many eritieive its methods and belittle its re- sults. Mueh of the t'lltll'lSl11 is basefl on the eharge of a lark of praetif eality in the sehool training, Init in spite of the faet that edueatiou is, in niany respeets. far from pei-feet, l do not believe that sueh fault- finding' is justified. For example the student works in a eheniieal lab- oratory, of what good is that? lf he has the right stuff in hini, he ean lieeoire a t'llQ1lllSt in any one of a hun'lred different branehes of the art, anl there he will need just this experience that he is getting in the Iaboratoi y. Ur let us say he is eoing to take up wool worlqizigq in sehool he gets the fundamentals of the eraft in the wood working shop. 'l'lius, lilfewise, it is with niet-hanies, in art and design, and in printing. Turning then to another braneh of the sehool, let us say the student has studied languagesg he goes on to prepare for diploniatie anl foreign oftiee or for travel in foreign lancfsg and the result neels no further proof. Fontewhat similar, though ofa niueh wider and more important s' ope, is the study of English. The study of English is invaluable not alone in business life, but also in soeial and private life. Letters must sometimes lie written-often letters of the utmost iniportanee. Anl, in the ease ot' one who must nieet and tall: daily vonnnune with great and talented minds, a good knowledge of anl a diseriniinating' taste in literature will prove by no means a small essential. Again, turning from these subjeets to the eorninereial studies, it will Ive readily seen of what great use they are in the business worlfl, either as a IVQEUIS of earning money by working for large eoneerns. or as a ireans of eondueting' one's own business affairs. There are, lastly, two other means of practical training that are most apparent to other eyes-assembly training and physical culture. When a student eonduets an assembly he is not only learning the more eonnnon rules of parliamentary proeedure, but he is also having a fine opportunity to learn how to earry on under the weight of public re- sponsibility. ln the physical edueation field the student learns, first of all, to eooperate with others and then to obey orders promptly. Next, let us take up the development of the natural abilities of the student. Every man or woman has some partieular ability that stands Page Thirty-two T H E M I R R 0 R M out above the rest, and it is the purpose of the school to perfect that natural bent to the furthest point possible. At the same time, however, training must not neglect to refine all the lesser abilities, so that the result may be a well-balanced, wellfproportioned work. School physical training does a great deal to round out tl1c raw, un- trained student, correct his little physical faults, and train him in the scientific methods of exercise and sport, but I believe mental training in school shows greater results. l' do not mean by this that physical culture is of little importanceg indeed, it is even more important, in many respects, than is the extreme culture of the mind. But, be that as it may, school has a fine influence in training the mind. For instance, geometry and all the other mathematical studies train the mind to be exact, alert, and comprehensive. English and the mathematics teach it to 1'eason, both thoroughly and independently. As to the outward abilities, one of the most important of these is speech. English and the assembly are among the best promoters of good speech, for they develop it in its three most fundamental aspects: correctness, effectiveness. and pleasantness, each of which helps to com- mand attention. Another important development is poise. Poise comes from class, assembly and outside social workg from the daily encounter with all types of people, and from the resultant self-confidence. And the last is personality, the final result of training, the fine balance of abilities, and the improvement of inherent talents. Since it docs these things, school is, of necessity, a background for Life. lt supplies practical experience and a store of facts with which to work and brings out the best in the natural forces. It is only up to the student to take and use these things, and, if he fails to make school useful in preparing himself for life, the blame must rest on his should- ers, and his alone. -f-iff -Ellis James. The Buffalo Evening Newsn Oratorlcal Contest FTER the preliminary local contest at which Ellis James was chosen to represent Medina in the Orleans County battle, the excitement began. Friday evening. April 12, at the Albion High School, the champion was to be selected. The competitors were William B. Hart of Albion and Ellis James of Medina. Mr, Carl l. Bergerson, Superintendent of Albion Schools, opened the program by explaining the purpose of the contest. Then, Ellis James of Medina spoke on Lincoln and the tfonstitutionj' and im- pressed l1is audience by the enthusiastic method by which he threw himself into its delivery. XVilliam B. Hart of Albion followed with a splendid eration on the topic, 'tServing Our Constitutionf' The students from both schools applauded their representatives With vigor. Then came the judges' decision. Of course, the Chairman created much suspense by landing the sponsor of the contest, The Buffalo Evening News , before he gave the name of the county cham- pion. It was certainly an uproarious time when Ellis carried home the bacon 77 Page Thirty-three 2 www T H R M 1 R R 0 R -RRRRRRR-1 Novel Page Thirty-four Inlaginafion now you'll ne-011, Our 1itQ1'2ll'Y Store to read.

Here isa story to illustrate both sides of this old person in a harmless es- capade of his. Our nine-aere back pasture lot was once a fine place to find mush- rooms-large white ones, together with nice light puffballs. My grand- father was very fond of mushrooms and always spent an afternoon or two in the prime mushroom season gathering a basketful for what he considered a feast. This particular season of which I am speaking bade fair to be a good one as far as mushrooms were concerned, at least,- and grandfather was planning on a regular feed But he had planned without Old Bill, the man I first described. lt seems that on a nice warm afternoon Old Bill had likewise felt an in- ternal yearning for some of the delicious fruit-if it is a fruit.t Grant- ing that it is, we will proceed with our story.J Therefore, taking an ample basket on his arm, he set out, and, by devious paths, planned so as to avoid any chance of my grandfather's seeing him, arrived at length among the niggerheads and water-holes of our pasture lot. There he employed himself so diligently that, shortly after sunset, he began the return journey with enough mushrooms in the basket to feed an army of children. And Old Bill had only a delicate wife and one adopted daughter. In fact, he had scoured the terrain of that pasture till there Wasn't a decent looking mushroom or puffball left. Now I a1n reasonably sure that had Old Bill gone to my grandfather and asked himfas any other villager would have donefif he might have a few mushrooms, he would have been told to help himself to all he Wanted. But, you see, that was not in line with his train of thought. He must go like a petty thief, and greedily take them all. So now we shall follow him as he wends his cautious way homeward. It is fast growing dark. The deceptive sunnnervevening shadows are rapidly lengthening and fading in the blur of the landscape. Here, under the creek bank, a jovial bullfrog sings ponderouslyg downstream a mixed quartet of brother voices rises, in pleasing melody, to his call. Softly the wind bums promises of more days to come. And- VVhere you going? Old Bill suddenly comes to a terrified halt,-halted, in fact, by a Page Thirty-six T H E M I R R 0 R tiny muzzle pushed firmly and insistently into his tender stomach. Be- fore him in the dusk looms the tall, lean figure of a man with a speckled bandana drawn closely across his nose a11d mouth. Over the bandanna tivo imperious, indistinct eyes are glaring down upon the shaking form before them. VVhat's in that there basket? Mushrooms, eh? Thought so. Well, just pass 'em over, and we'll maybe let you go on peaceable-if you don 't pull no tricks meanwhile ! In a moment it is done. Old Bill has not spoken a word. He is too much scared for anything but a dutiful nod over chattering teeth. A word of gruff command and a wave of the ominous little muzzled beauty, and he is running clumsily along the creek bank, his bow legs flitting drolly in the dusk. A moment more, and he plunges out of sight among the willows. Late that evening several men gathered around the plaza of the village store. One of their number was attempting to tell a funny story, but seemed scarcely able to control his mirth long enough to get it out. At last, however, he finished amidst a gale of laughter from the rest. Then taking from his pocket a strong-smelling, blackened pipe, he gazed fondly at it, and added, Good little gun! A marvelous little gun!'y -Ellis James. The Seven Adventures of a Vanity Case and happy as long as she lay in a box in Aisle L It was pleasant tiff!-9,3 to be concealed in a pyramid of sister Rubensteins and to listen to all that went on in tl1e shop or to the stories of those nearer the top and sides, and to be thankful that she wasnit one of those less fortunate ones on display. But one day, all this was changed-Annabelle, the shopper's guide, spied her neat little pile and wrote a paragraph about them in her column. In the palm of a sour looking blonde, black satin-ed and carnation-ed, our little friend caught her first glimpse of the public. She was eyed and inspected by an elderly woman in a red coat and heard her say that she would do for Ellen. Then she was wrapped and carried off. Sarah was bumped and jiggled, set down and checked, deserted and recovered, and the first rest she got was an hour and a half later on a notions counter. There was nothing unusual about it-vanity cases are often seen near notions counters-but the exciting thing was, she was picked up, box, puff, and all, carried off and pushed into an in- verted umbrella. And I am forced to admit that our Sarah, although ONV Sarah was a Jerfectl ' lain round red vanit case, sin le N l 5 P y Page Thirty-seven T H E M I R R 0 R 'E her mother was a Coty and her father a Burma Shave, with all her up- bringing uttered no complaint. This was the concluding crisis. From then on the fates held sway, and the downward trend had begun. The action had passed beyond the control of the heroine. Eight weeks later, Sarah emerged-a sadder and a wiser girl. The strap on the puff had long since been worn to shreds, the powder was down to minus infinity, and the mirror was ready to crack. There was a dent in the top, and the sides were paintless. No wonder. She had encountered afive o'clock trolley jam and a Sunday night theater crowd. But lo! There was a retarding point. Dropped into a goldfish bowl and thus soothed by a much needed rest, she was rescued from her castle amid the seaweed by a gold braided attendant. All during the hot summer that followed the attendant labored. The clasp was renewed, the puff washed and mended, a refill added and by the first of October, Sarah was presented to his sister with a birthday card. Then there was one endless round of excitement. Big nose, little nose, pug or Roman, straight or Greek-allfSarah en- countered. But justice struck to ground will rise again. Toward the end of November she went to a football game in the pocket of a trench coat. Now the pockets of trench coats were not made to carry very va.luable luggage, and those in this case were quite shallow. With a sense of foreboding, yet still tongue-tied, Sarah tried to be still. She stuck fast for the first quarter, but sometime during the second, in the midst of a great shouting and jumping contest, out flopped Sarah, hit with a sickening thud and rendered a last blow to the mirror. It is not my purpose to put unwontcd stress on the mirror breaking episode, but in all her CEITQQI' Sarah had never known anything like what was to come. After the final whistle, she was still undiscovered, and still mute. A small boy spied something red and shiny in the rubbish, let out one yell and dived. Of all the individuals yet encount- ered, this red-headed young biped was the worst. Thinking finger nails inadequate, he used a knife, then a chisel. It would not do merely to open the lid, the fragments of the mirror were taken out, the hinges pried off, the compact scraped, the catch improved, and the top caved in. After this very reniarkable and thorough process of dissection, Sarah as a whole ceased to exist. The once beautiful naturelle powder had long since been let loose to the winds. The once fleecy puff was left in his blouse pocket to be run through the wringer on the following Monday. Part of the mirror lies buried today on the football field, another took a ride on a dustpan. But the case, luckiest of all, in a beautiful state of quasi-decomposition, rests on the canal bank beside a Campbell's bean can. -Louise O'Donnell. Page Thirty-eight vw' vw' vw' , , , . T H E M I R R 0 R Honor Bound HE great day had arrived. At three o'elock Strafford was to 'VW meet Clarkson on the Strafford field. In a small but neat room Strafford's star halfbaok, Jack Reem, paced the floor with a telegram in one hand. In the only easy chair that the room afforded, sat the Clarkson fullback. lf you will fake some excuse for not playing, we will pay your expenses for the rest of thc term. You have there a summons from your father. He cannot meet your expenses. lf you play, you will have to leave school after the game. You have just five minutes in which to decidef' The fullback relaxed, confident of his victory. But Jack did not at once reply. He gazed in despair at the telegram Which read: Jack, come home directly after ga.me. Have no funds. Dad. Should he be disloyal to the blue and gold? How he hated to leave the dear old school. No one would know, but his Dad was really sick and he had to go home for a few days. But he himself would know! I'll not under any circumstances be disloyal to my team. Good- day. Jack left the room and proceeded to the locker-room, where he Was greeted by a loud cheer. That afternoon Jack won the game for Strafford by a spectacular trick play. The score was 7 to 6, and the saying, Clarkson always high, did not hold true any longer. lVhen Jack started packing that evening, he did it with the knowledge of having played square. As he left his room he was met by the lVestern Union boy. The telegram read: Mr. Jack Reem Strafford School Jack: t'Hold everything! Have made big money. Dadf' -Elizabeth M. Rumsey. A Saga of the North 66 ASHA ls it the Earl of Uaithness who approaches? X lt was the year 15133, just before that terrible conflict, the battle of Flodden. The Earl of Caithness, many moons be- fore, had privately struggled for r11ore land. As a result, his lands had been placed under forfeit to the crown. But, however serious the dis- Page Thirty-nine :Nia Qlwq :FWZ grwi ,swf M IW f W T H E M I R R 0 R pute between King James IV and the Earl might be, when the King faced a foreign foe, all his subjects, including the Earl and his clan, rose valiantly to the rescue. Upon being told that it was, indeed, Sinclair of Caithness, the King smote a mighty blow, and cried, t'Then, in truth, l1is lands shall be restored to himf' Wlhen the King, thereupon, spoke in friendship to the Earl, My liege, said the Earl, Hmay some bit of writing be sent to my Lady, that she may hold the land if I fall in battle? Then, Bonnie King Jamie seized a drum-head, wrote thereon, and dispatched it with all haste by a loyal clansnian of the House of Caithness. All the world knows of The stern fight and carnage dread of I+'lodden's fatal field. The King, the knights, and the gentry were all slain. Among the few of the common soldiers who survived was that stripling who carried the King's parchment in a whiskey flask to that northern keep. Years passed, and through all the generations the flask and the story were handed down from father to son. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the flask was one of the few treasures brought by the family to Nova. Scotia. In 1914, the Sinclair family consisted of two sisters and a brother. Once again, the Royal Standard was in danger, and Nova Scotia was among the first to answer the roll call of the Empire. Ylihen the first 30,000 left Canada, six weeks after war was declared, Sinclair, the last of his line, was among them. But the night before leaving home, they drank from the flask to God and the Rightfl The sisters then set away the flask until peace should be restored. The last of the Sinclairs fell in the Great Xllar, and there is none to inherit the flask, but the tradition is the inheritance of all the loyal. iBetty Findlay. KC The Nlisunderstancling HADOVVS, dark and weird, bathed the East River. No noise disturbed the prevailing silence, save that of the tapping of water. The watchman was going his weary rounds, when a shrill cry for help reached his ears. First, rushing from one wharf to another, he finally saw what seemed to him a bag of clothes, floating in the water. Reaching out with a grapper-hook, he caught the supposed bag of clothes. Vllhen he pulled it up, he found it to be an old woman, half drowned. Quickly he began to administer what first-aid knowledge he had.

Mother, cried the young man, kneeling over the prostrate figure. Son, she cried in reply. Am I dreaming? How did you know I would be here 'WVhy, Mother, you wrote your intentions in your diary. lVhen Lita found you gone, I looked in your diary and found out everything. Why! You dear, precious mother, what made you think you were a nuisance, and that Lita resented your presence? Didn't you know that it was you who prompted Lita's love for me? At that moment Lita stepped up. '4Yes, dearest, I thought that a son with such a Wonderful mother must be wonderful himself. And the kiddies simply adore you. They told me so themselves when I tucked them in tonight. 7 A wonderful, enlightened expression broke out upon her face, and suddenly she sat bolt upright. My dear Lita, I'll wager you put little Tommy to bed without giving him l1is tonic. My-you are just like putty in his hands. Come, but tomorrow night I'll see that he gets a double dose! -Lillian Spiller. Play The Game The ancient philosophers, the modern teachers have all given us a lot of very good advice, but these three words: HPlay the Game! - these three words form a. slogan that packs a lot of sound sense. Busi- ness is nothing more, nothing less, than a game. You either Win or you lose. Vllhen you win, it is almost always because you like the game. YVhat you like, you play Well. 'When you lose, ninety-nine times out of a hundred you lose because you do not like the game and therefore do not play the game Well. You never saw a champion in any game who did not consider his game the greatest game in the world. That's Why he is a champion. The moment that you feel that the thing you are doing is not the hest thing for you to dokthe moment you do not like your Work, that moment you are slipping into the suds.--The Silent Partner. Page Forty-one , :yvq pw' ,nm 2 4, . T H E M I R R o R 5,34 A Modernistic Robinson Crusoe HO am I? I am no one less than Robinson Crusoe modernized ?q of course. But my days of exile were too brief to be written in length as the original Robinson Crusoe wrote his because I had an advantage over him. VVhat advantage? Why, the knowledge that the inventors of the last century have given to the public by ceaseless labors and tireless study. How did they help me? NVhat happened to rue? lVhat did I do? Ah! That is something that I shall never forget. It happened like this. It was late in the summer of 1918. IVar, angry, snarling Vtiar, was making his last desperate attempt to hold his own in tl1e sorrowful, grief-stricken, battle smitten regions of Europe. All ships available were pressed into service by the govern- ment to carry supplies to our boys in the trenches on the western front. VVord came from the government ordering our shipping company to carry supplies of food and manufactured goods to Japan. My father, believing that a ship sent on such an important mission should be in reliable hands, sent me with the ship to supervise things generally. Our ship crawled along with utmost care in order to avoid the hawk- like submarines and other warboats of our enemy with which the seas were infested. All went well until we were half-way across the Pacific. Then a battle was waged, a battle with a foe more dreadful, and more powerful than the union of all the fleets of our enemies. It was a battle with the elements. Our engines strained within their metal cases to push ahead our mighty craft, which seemed so fragile, in the face of this awful gale. Our crew of twenty strong, and trusty seamen worked frenziedly at their posts. Alas! 'Twas to no avail. Our ship, that mighty hulk of strongest steel and straightest oak, was heaved upon the rocks of a shore unseen by the pilot. The waves, mountain high, dashed over us! Distractedly I clung to anything, everything it seemed, but the terror would not yield. Another wave, higher and heavier than any that had struck, swept me from the ship! I strangled and gasped for what seemed hours before I came to the surface only to be knocked under by another wave. The undercurrent washed me upon land. There, stricken with fright, I dashed madly up and down the coast, tearing my hair and wailing at the thought of my less fortunate companions! Finally, when my fright and grief were somewhat abated, I threw my tired body on the sand, and sleep., that comforter of all ills, crept over me. 'When I regained consciousness I discovered that the storm had fled with the rising of the sun. Far out upon the rocks like a bird perched upon a cliff, clung our ill-fated ship. With eyes that strained from their sockets I scanned the decks for signs of life, but I saw none. Page FOI'ty-tWD T H E M I R R 0 R To swim out to the boat was impossible, yet a way had to be found to reach it before it was dashed into pieces. VVith hands that were un- accustomed to hard labor I bound together with striplings such fallen logs as fl could find. By evening I had completed a raft. The next day I launched it and with a piece of drift wood for a paddle I set out for the ship. ' Once on board I was convinced that all my companions had been drowned, but there was no time to lament the departure from this life of such splendid men. I made my way to the operating room in which the radio was located. On this invention I based my only hope of rescue. The generators, which provided electricity for the radio, were run by steam. To start the engines was impossible. XVith screw drivers and hammers I hastily set about to take apart one of tl1e generators. After several trips between the land and the ship, I succeeded in getting one of the generators, the radio equipment and supplies of food, clothing, dishes, guns, ammunition and other necessities that I could find trans- fcrred to land. After two weeks of exploration and hard work I succeeded in erect- ing a small shack and water wheel by a stream. In the shack I set up my radio and generator, which was run by the water wheel. Up to this time I had met no human beings at all, nor any animals that appeared to be savage. Having such abundance of electricity, for further pro- tection I strung wires that I had salvaged from the ship around my shack in such a manner that when they were charged with electricity nothing could approach the house without receiving a severe shock. In times of great danger from hostile neighbors the voltage could be increased. I had also salvaged a fusebox and some incandescent lamps, which had not been destroyed in the storm. My food supply lasted well, and the stream provided me with fresh water. No, I was not so unfortunate as Robinson Crusoe. My steady S. 0. S. signal and the stories of my distress, which I broadcasted, finally brought me aid. The end of the fifth week found me in my father's home, a wiser and a sadder man than when I left. Undoubtedly I was a happier man than Robinson Crusoe whose exile lasted for thirty years, because he lacked the knowledge of electricity. Later I learned that I might have been rescued sooner had the Ameri- cans not thought that it was a plan of the enemy to capture one of their ships. IYhat? You do not believe my story? You do not think that such things could happen? Uh, you are mistaken! They say that necessity is the mother of invention. In my case necessity was the motive that put into realization and action an invention known to the modern world. l, must go now. Think over what I have told you. Good-bye, my friends. -Gladys Beach.

MISS IJERGUSON During this year many interesting events have taken place, but the extent of the social functions of the seniors was the Christmas party and program. Before Christmas the room was attractively decorated in red and green by different inembers of the class. On the last morn- ing before vacation toy presents were exchanged among the students, and different ones of us contributed to the entertainment. The Seniors have worked hard this year to get funds for the VVZlSl1- ington trip. YVe sold tickets and obtained one-half the proeeeds from the play, Second Fhildhoodn, presented by the Dramatic Club. Cer- tain other projeets have been undertaken by us for financial purposes, and great eo-operation has been shown by the students. The banking in our room has been exceptional this year, and, if this thrift continues after high school days, I'ni sure we'll all be successful and grateful to Medina.

Page Forty-six Q i i Is. . 4 ,. :tk ia vw' T H E M I R R 0 R The Vision of a Senior N THE fifth day of the moon, I ascended the high hills of Bag- dad, in order to pass the rest of the day in meditation. I fell into a profound contemplation on the vanity of human life, and, passing from one thought to another, Surely, said I, Life is but a dream. VVhile I was thus musing, I east my eyes toward the summit of a rock that was not far from me, where I discovered one, in the habit of a musician, with his instrument under his arm. As I looked upon him, he raised his instrument and began to play. How much he reminded me of one of the Seniors, who was swarthy and had dark wavy hair. I-Ie played in the orchestra. I had been often told that the rock before me was the haunt of a Genius, and that several had been entertained with music who had passed by it, but I had never heard that the musician had before made himself visible. As I looked upon him, he beckoned to me, and by the waving of his hand directed me to approach the place where he sat. I drew near. Taking me by the hand, Senior, said he, I have heard you in your soliloquiesg follow mc. He led me to the highest pinnacle of the rock, and placing me on the top of it he said, Past your eyes to tl1e westward and tell me what you see. The haze before me drew away and disclosed the scene of a court- room. There, before the judge's bench was a flaxen haired, neatly dressed girl, a learned lawyer, pleading the case of a frightened boy. Our editor-in-chief of the llIirror'y! I started forward, the scene vanished, and I saw only haze. I looked in astonishment at tl1e musician. Look again, he directed in answer to my look. The haze lifted, and before my eyes was a farm on the Ridge Road with General Bur- beck busily working in a corn patch. So old and yet so young! This scene was followed by Sylvia busily occupied flirting with several young men. Poor General! Another of tl1e east, Second Childhood, appeared before an audience adequately playing the part of a young Gypsy. Several sceens passed, showing many Seniors as stenographers and business men. Ho! There passed before me 'fSylvia's father as comedian on the Keith-Albee Circuit. How the audience applauded l1is efforts to sell Speaking Contest Tickets. That is all, said the musician and disappeared before my aston- ished look. I was left to contemplation of my thoughts. -Sidney Allen. Page Forty-seven T H E M I R R 0 R P?

' Under the guidance of Miss Boardman, Mrs.eStevenson and the president, Stanley Squire, Room 300 has enjoyed a very suecessful year. On Bank Day, Room 300 always responds with a one hundred per cent deposit. Our room has also shared in the scholastic honors, having as high as twelve members on the honor roll. The room was very elaborately decorated, at Christmas time, in silver and green. We had a very amusing and enjoyable Christmas party. Room 300 contributed more than her share of athletes by furnishing eight letter men in football. Miss Boardman and Mrs. Stevenson deserve much praise for their efforts to make 300 the best room in the school.

It is only the school band clothed in an armor ot' brass and silver horns charging against some innocent notes that shiver before them. But really you should hear the soft melodious tunes that come from this same army of horns resound appcalingly through the city park on a summerls eve. We marvel at Mr. Hulshoff's and Mr. Smith 's patience in developing this organization, which has increased from 20 to 28 in number, and extend our appreciation to them and to the members of the band who have practiced so diligently. The members are as follows: Stanley Squires, Carlton Waters, lfranklin lYaters, Robert Slack, Karl Shultz, George Hawley, Herbert Kendall, Francis O'l'Jonnell, Victor Page, Clare Stillinger, Robert liundock, Hervey Hill, Colon Burgess, Arthur Scarlett, Stanley lVoodside, Hamilton Vllatson, Fharles Morrison, Pierman Butts, Stafford Allen, Robert Muchow, Mil- ford Grinnell, Donald Cauhan, John Lacey, Richard Hubbard, Dawson lN'lcElwce, Furtiss Blount, Gordon McPherson, Mr. Straka. The directors are Mr. Fl. E. Smith and Mr. Carl Hulshott. Musical lnstruments HE Medina High School has been encouraging the development of musical talent among the students. To further this purpose about twenty musical instruments of various types such as trom- bones, flutes, clarinets, bass horns and drums have been purchased by the school and lent to the students interested in music until they can afford to purchase them for themselves. ln this way it has been pos- sible for the Medina High School to have its own band and orchestra. Of course, quite an expense was incurred by the Medina High School in this manner, but this has been defrayed to a certain extent by con- certs, which have been given by the band and orchestra together with the Harmonic Club chorus. The supervision of this musical work has been carried on by Mr. Frederick E. Smith, director of the orchestra, Mr. Carl J. Hulslioff, director of the band, and Miss R. Belle Uooper, chorus director and local supervisor of music. Page Seventy-five T H E M I R R 0 R HW HWJQW?

There were two 1'easons for this slu1up in our past record. Ten of the first eleven men of the '27 team were graduated in June 1928 or did not refenter school this year, and. secondly, the manager purposely seleeted teams out of our class with the express idea of developing this new and raw material for the great 'llhanksgiving battle. The results were obtained, and Uoach Stevenson organized and perfected a fighting machine that beat. their old rivals i11 every way but a score, the game ending in a tie. Although the team before the last game outwardly appeared weak, there are some promising stars for 1929, and it looks as though a great year is coming, for we expeet 15 of the 17 tt lietter Meuw back next fall. Some of the men who showed great improvement and did spectacular work were: little Jerry, big fat Uaufield, Schultz and Ross. liet's start now, getting 1'QElClY for the Albion game on November 28, 1929.

A delightful dinner was prepared by Miss Peterson and her competent helpers, and not a fellow left the table hungry, not even t'Eggs . A program was rendered by the fellows, including both songs and speeehes, suitable for the occasion. lieigh Standish as toastmaster kept the bunch in laughter, and the gay spirit of Peach added lTlllGl1 to the life of the party. The letters failed to arrive in time to be given to the eligible men, as is 011S'lf-0Hl211'f', but were awarded after the holidays. A captain was not elected this year as usual, but will he elected by the squad in 1929, and the scheduling of games will be handled through the office. At the close of the evening the Squad of '28 presented Coach Steven- son with a watch to show their appreciation for his efforts and interest in their enterprises during the football season of 1928. - Pete Lyster.

Though the weather was bad, the largest crowd of spectators yet to have assembled witnessed the annual classic between these two old rivals. The Blue and Red grid battlers showed their spirit and determina- tion. After a ten-day drill on the finer arts of football as well as the rougher, they were ready for their test. Albion, though handicapped by overconfidence, put up a stiff wall of opposition, but at no time throughout the game did they threaten the Red and Blue goal. Three times Medina was within a few yards of the goal, but muddy field and slippery ball had their part in the game. Medina won a decided moral victory over the Purple and White, even though the score stood 0 to O. The team gave its best work, and with Standish and Lyster featuring on the line and Gaze and Ross doing tricks in the baekfield it was a great game to watch, and the backers of the Red and Blue were happyg yes, even more than happy throughout the game. The sensational aerial attack and the triple passes in the backfield were outstanding features of the game. Coach Steve showed that he could pick a team and pick it right, for on November 29 it was OUR game without av doubt. -Winthrop Curvin. Intramural Basketball gg EY, who hocked my sneaks? Come on, don't hog the ball! A YVhat do you think this is? Say, 'Steve' who plays tonight? li3i4il2?l The Eagles and the Flatfeet'? These are a few of the ex- pressions you may hear issuing forth from the 'tGym on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings. This year we haven't a school basketball team, instead, we have about twelve teams within the school. The teams are divided into two leagues, the junior and senior Rainbow leagues, with two games played each night. Boyl this bunch certainly put on some fast games. In the Gym is a board on which the standings are posted. CAlth0ugh this board is a specimen of Mr. Stevenson's handiwork, he charges no fees for viewing it.

HE baseball season of 1928 was a successful one, the team Winning 57 six of the eight games played. Two games with DeVeaux of Niagara Falls were called off because of weather conditions. The most outstanding game of the season was one lost to Holley with a score of 3 to 4. The battery of like and Gotts with the entire support of the team played a wonderful game that day and had the lead until the last inning. The greatest handicap our teams have had is the number of boys withheld because of marks not being up to standard. This season, however, found every varsity man, a varsity man in his studies as Well. There were many old boys back on the team, and Steve's plea that every man who even thought he could throw a ball should come out for the team, was answered. A good season of games was scheduled, and, as we hoped, the school came out with us strong at every game when the ball had begun to roll. -Bob Menke. Physical Education Exhibition and Gym Activities pn N APRIL of last year tl1e boys and girls gave one of the best lil' gym exhibits that have been held in the high school. 'Nearly every boy and girl in school took part in some number, and many had places in special stunts and drills. The tumbling stunts by both the girls' gym team and the boys' were outstanding numbers. The boys' marching tactic drill showed they had done some hard training to reach their perfection. This year the exhibition was given the latter part of March, and Miss Baldwin and Mr. Stevenson presented one that surpassed even last year's. Least fall the boys began a new system of gym work, which, though not so popular at first, has now gained the approval of the boys. Gym suits are used, and time is allowed to take a hot and cold shower after the class. This system, though it shortens the working period, has proved very successful. Better work is done on the floorg the Wear and tear on clothes is eliminated, and the pupil goes back to class feel- ing clean, refreshed, and invigorated. Page Eighty-one T H E M 1 R R 0 R D.

Shannon, Shurgonr Girls' Athletics OT being allowed to schedule any basketball games with thc neighboring towns, the girls of Medina High School who were interested in the sport formed several teams and played among themselves. Those who had a better knowledge of the game formed two first teams under the leadership of Verna Verbridge and Pauline Hise. The second teams were under the leadership of Anna Condon, Lila Boulton, Dorothy Shannon, and Annie Crocket. A tournament, delayed because of practice for dramatic functions, was played with satisfactory results. The system of intra-mural contests Was planned in order that each girl might receive an equal chance in learning and playing the game. Miss Baldwin, physical director for girls, has cer- tainly done her best in coaching the teams. The girls' gym team began its second year's Work last fall with about twenty girls to its credit. The fall try-out eliminated all those Page Eighty-two T H E M I R R 0 R who received an average below 8571. Much work has been done on apparatus and mats. The girls have been trained in marching tactics also. Tuesday evening of each week was devoted to practice, and an exhibition was given the latter part of March. During the past semester, Miss Baldwin put into operation a new plan for making the gym classes much more interesting. Each class was divided into several teams, some being called Reds and others Blues Points were given for class averages, completion of gym costume, class games, and participation in outside sports. There was much competition, and in January, 1929, the total for all classes was 578 to 411, the Reds winning. Hurrah for the Reds ! ! -Lorraine Garrett. The Gymnastic Exhibition OR several weeks marching and various types of exercises were gg practiced with extraordinary diligence by the various gymnasium It J classes. Vlhy? First, because they were preparing for the an- nual exhibition of the Medina High School Physical Education Depart- ment, and, secondly, they were told that the remainder of the year would be devoted to spring sports if they worked hard for the exhibition. At two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, March 27, the parents began to arrive in the auditorium, and by three it was crowded. At this time the program began. Alice O'Donnell recited a clever little poem. Following this the curtain was drawn, and the audience had full access to the gymnasium. Someone struck up a march on the piano, and out marched a girls' gymnasium class, which staged one of the best marching exhibits ever demonstrated by our school. Then the rest of the program followed in rapid succession as follows: Free Standing Drill-Boys, Games-Girls, Indian Club Drill- Boysg Gym Team-Girls, Games and Relays-Boys, Danish Gym- nastics-Girlsg Marching Tactics-Boys, Skipping Reeds-Girls, Ad- vanced Gymnastics, Tumbling-Boysg Folk Dancing Cin costun1eJ- Girls. The exhibition ended with an extraordinary display of human pyra- mids by the boys. The parents departed very much pleased with the work done by Miss Baldwin and Mr. Stevenson along the line of physi- cal education.

CYou see they keep a pretty accurate record here.j IVhere had that f'Mirror gone? It wasn't the loss that concerned the authorities. Oh no, it was the princi- ple! Unbeknown to the student body at large a very careful and ac- curate survey or research was secretly carried on to discover who had stolen, or shall we say had taken, that book. It was not found, how- ever, and that fact is easily accounted for. Medina High School students do not steal. Somewhere between IVashington's and Lincoln's birthday of this year an additional Mirror of 1927 was discovered in the files of the Mirror department. It was as fresh-looking as the day it had left the press. But what was more, it seemed to have gained a personality, assumed a sophistication, et cetcra. In short, our dear old Mirror had found it , The story that this unusual annual recounted to its less adventure- some brothers and sisters was a delightful one. It was exhilerating and romantic, romantic because of travel, and exhilerating because romantic. It is now for Miss Mirror to take up the tale. Balmy, mysterious spring days always fill me with Wanderlust. I said to myself one spring day in '27 Now, Miss 'Mirror' you are all robed in fresh new clothing. You have never looked better. Why not go out into this delightful, whimsical old world and become acquainted with your relatives? See for yourself how your kinsmen dress. Ob- serve their faults and good points, compare them with yourself and profit as you can. Besides, the travel will make you sophisticated, a book of the world. After this council with myself I soon formulated my plan. Yes, I would go and give my kin the onceover. And go I did. For two years I have traveled, observed, and enjoyed myself. What a thrill it has given me to hear sophisticated annuals, even college annuals, exclaim when they saw me, How chic! I tell you, Medina High School should be proud of its 'Mirror'. Well, I didnit go just for a lark. There was something practical about my meanderings. It is through my observation of other annuals in distant places that I mean to improve myself year by year. I thought it a good idea to visit some of my friends early in my trip, and then re-visit them toward the end of my wanderings. This I did and have drawn my observations from the general make-up of my friends during these years. Miss Panorama of Binghamton, New York, has been especially noticeable for her collection of pictures, cartoons, and advertisements. Page Eighty-six , T H E M I R R 0 R Mr. Reveille has always put forth a very dapper personality consisting of a neat little array of pictures, class accounts, and a few literary features. Mr. t'Reveille hails from WVebster, New York. Miss Stylus is a very clever little book from Brockport Normal. She is brimming over with literary matter, jokes, and class notes. Mr. Aquaportus of lVaterport, New York, is a clever person fairly brimming with literary works, original poems, et cetera. I par- ticularly like his original poem bent. He has also some very good jokes in his bag of tricks . Miss 'Tfalendarn of Hutchison High, Buffalo, certainly is a. beauti- ful personage. She is always so complete. She's the last word in perfection. Mlle. 'tChevron of Albion High School is, indeed, Very broad- minded. I enjoy knowing her. She is very well versed in literature, athletics, small talk, and jokes. She knows a great number of good merchants, too. ' Mr. 'tRacquet of Portland, Maine, is a very unassuming fellow. But what an interesting person he is when one gets to know him. He is quite a literary person and quotes from a great number of noted friends. Miss Purple Pennantn of Cortland, is a very aristocratic little lady full of good things. She has a very delightful sense of humor. So on and on, I might tell you of those I met on my trip. I feel that my association with so many clever annuals will aid me a great deal in improving myself. wma- -Carl Caldwell.

Many attended higher institutions of learning while others entered the business world.

The Charge of the Light Brigade NIE day about 11:50 o'clock I tuned in on my radio and im.- 1 I mediately received a. startling program from M. H. S. A horrible l:i'iiti1t:l of hoofs reached my ears. A sharp command, Out of line, Kenneth, pierced the deafening roar. I shuddered. It sounded like a regiment of calvaryrnen charging their enemies. Impossible! The war ended over ten years ago. The steady patter, patter of hoofs was suddenly interrupted by a succession of thuds. My body shook. I became white. There must Page Ninety-six T H E M I R R 0 R be a sharp shooter picking tl1em off, I muttered. Then I distinctly heard doors being opened and shut. A steady hum of voices followed, among which I heard some one cry: Hey, Stan, Miss Boardman wants to see you. It came to me like a flash. I shifted back to a normal position in my chair. Stan Squires, taking six steps at a time down the Northwest stairway, with a troop of boys from 300 doing their best to keep up to l1i1n, had been caught. -4Richard Caldwell. Walking Back From a Boatricle HE spectator viewed the twilight scene before him. A bright fire glowed in the center of the ravine. Grey smoke coiled its vay skyward, while gay leaves in autumnal colors drifted down- ward. The smell of burning leaves was pungent. The gipsy band about the fire laughed and chattered above the soft monotone of falling water. In spite of the fact that the breeze whispered ill omen among the nestling leaves of the elms, a 1nan's hearty laugh rang out confidently and he called, Come get your hot dogs, girls!'7 The merry crowd trooped around the fire, eating with gusto their plain meal of hot dogs, jelly doughnuts, and coffee. After the meal the spectator with foreboding watched five girls climb into a rowboat and set forth in the turbulent stream. Didn't they know that two blondes, two brunettes, and a brown-haired person should never go rowboating together? His anxiety grew as he watched the girls incompetently attempt to manoeuver the craft in the swirling waters. Feminine shricks, shrill and sharp, rent the air! The rowboat had tipped over. Five girls floundered in neck deep water amid the en- couragement of the rest of the group, which was now crowded on the bank of the stream. VVell, at last, they were on shore again, the spec- tator assured himself. But no, was that someone away down the stream scooting along on the current? It was. And had she gone over the waterfall or was that three foot dip in the stream a dam? The spectator hurried to a better vantage point. The girl rosc, uncertainly, attempting to maintain her balance against the strong current. The water was fully up to her- ankles. But was it safe to walk into shore? Perhaps the fickle stream was deeper near shore. That question was fully answered when the man's voice shouted calmly above the roar of the water, Hey, you can walk in from there ! -Gertrude Broughton. Page Ninety-seven 7 T H E M I R R 0 R Muskrat Tales and Tails T WAS the noon-hour. Two tall, darkehaired boys stole noise- - lessly down a third-floor hall. There was a ludicrous expression of diabolical mischief and gleeful anticipation on their faces. Anon they arrived before a large study-hall, Room 300 I believe. There they had a hurried consultation in whispers. Then after several fur- tive glances up and down the hall, they unanimously agreed that the coast was clear. Rather than rush blindly in and connnit their crime at once, the vagrants stole a glimpse of the room's interior. About midway up the room and to one side, was a group of girls deep in the midst of a heated discussion. The criminals-to-be did not know what the topic of conversation was. They reached the common opinion, how- ever, that if those girls weren't talking about their latest screen fav- orite, Paris modes, or his dancing ability, then they were talking about some other thing just as unimportant. But they secretly hoped that the co-eds were talking of men, because their opinions of men were about to be blasted. As sure and swift as Indians, the boys swooped down upon the group of girls. There was a momentary flash of something black and slippery above those curly heads and then it came. VVay down low it started. Gradually it rose, and then the crest was reached. The crest of the most blood-curdling shriek I have ever heard or hope to hear was reached. It put to shame a locomotive whistle. A wildcat's call would sound like a tin-whistle beside that girlish vocal rendition. The culprits fled. I don 't know where they went. Some say they were convulsed with laughter in the hall. But I'll wager they fled terror-stricken from the source of that scream and never stopped fleeing until they were safely stationed in the gym behind a goodly breastworks of Indian clubs, boxing gloves, footballs, and ball clubs. VVhen my blood became warmed up sufficiently, I laughed nervously and composed the following record of the event: A clatter of feetg Something cold and slippery, A swift descent Tickling a girlish neck. Of two rascally boys, A diabolical shriekingg On mischief bent. And me a nervous wreck. A momentary flash A muskrat's tail is in a pocket, Of serpent-like black, Two boys are recalling a girlish Dangling above wail, A. co-ed's black. I am gradually recovering, f'And thereby hangs a tale? fCarl Caldwell. Page Ninety-eight PW' t ' : I .1 - a g :, : G. T H E M I R R 0 R A Trying Experience PLODDED bravely on. My feet were sore and blistered. My iii eyes were heavy and black circled. I clutched everything attain- able for support as I went on, up and up. Vague and terrifying noises rose about me. First, a low murmur mounting to a War struck my shrinking and sensitive ears. As I struggled Wearily on I heard grinding sounds and shrieks. lVould I ever live through this? The thought of home, of friends and all thoughts and repentances of a person near death flooded my befogged brain. My attention Was caught by seine other object. A form of a terrifying monster? No, only a fellow sufferer. IVe joined hands, and Went on. ,Soon We reached what seemed a haven of rest. VVc sank down with sighs of contentment. My friend spoke up, 'tThis easy chair certainly feels good after that two hours of ushering, doesn't it? But Wasn't the exhibition a grand successfit' That's the Way things seemed to us ushers on the night of December l2,'l928, at the opening of the Lee-VVhedon Memorial Library in the Medina High School. IVe must not forget to tell you how this big event came about. Our fine new library is the gift of IVilliam U. Dee, who died in 1924, leaving a generous fund for the expansion of the library, and also for an addi- tion to the school building, in the hands of his daughter Mrs. Mary Lee IVhedon. Mrs. IVhedon has not only carried out the Wishes of her father, but has also contributed sums even beyond his requests. We owe Mrs. IVhedon a deep debt of gratitude for her generosity. On this night of December 12, which I have partly pictured for you, the people of Medina were permitted to ttlook around the school-not only in the library, but also in all of the rooms. Each room was be- decked in Christmas festive splendor for the occasion, besides being arrayed with many special products of student and teacher labor. Among these special exhibitions were drawing, history, and English posters, mathematical ehartsg and original compositions by the music students. To demonstrate some of the mechanical, Wood Working, and printing facilities, students were at work during the evening of inspec- tion. The cafeteria served the people with a light lunch, and the or- chestra entertained them further. I After having put over such an exhibition to the evident pleasure and surprise of the people of Medina, I think We may be pardoned if We feel just a tiny bit of pride in our hearts. Yet I, for one, would never dare to face such an evening again. Most certainly I should be a fit subject for the study of mental diseases a.nd disorders if I passed through that land of torment again. -Barbara Munson.

The world expects him to repeat, and he hasn't got the goods. The man who does something big by design is the man who has planned and prepared himself for it. lt happens occasionally that a flash of light- ning will disclose a leading figure and that he Will make good. More often leading figures in any line can take you back over a trail of long, weary years of difficulties, apparent failure, grubbing, hack-Work, and indomitable persistence. Accident frequently reveal leaders who are thoroughly capable of filling the positions into which they are thrustg and when such acci- dents happen we call them opportunity.' But, in the main, the men in this world who do something big are the men who have spent their lives t1'ying.ffRalph Barstow in Forbes Magazine. 7 Going Ahead The human race is divided into two classes, those who go ahead and do something, and those who sit and inquire why it was not done the other Way.-Oliver lVendeIl Holmes.

Page One Hundred Thirty-se e T H E M I R R 0 R 'M THE UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO School of Dentistry ANNOUNCEMENT The Council of the University of Buffalo announces the adoption of the four-quarter plan of instruction in the teaching of dentistry. The first session will begin July lst, l929. The course is continuous and consists of twelve quarters of eleven weeks each with vacation per- iods of two weeks between the quarters. The curriculum consists of a basic and a specialized course of in- struction. The basic course considers dentistry, as a branch of medi- cine and in conjunction with the faculty of the School of Medicine, courses are offered in the fundamental subjects with credit toward the medical degree. The future contact of the medical and dental practi- tioners is secured through this common basic training. It is imperative in the conservation of human life that these two great professions of health service should have a common ground for the interchange of ideas. The subject of the basic instruction is to gain a higher and broader interpretation of the relation which dentistry bears toward the cause and treatment of systematic disease. The course of dental specialization is to teach the student to be- come a creative, independent practitioner. lt consists of fundamental instruction in technical procedures which constantly alternate with infirmary schedules. Students are allowed to progress as fast as they may demonstrate their ability. They are given every opportunity for clinical experience in independent practice by the various assignments at the hospital wards and clinics. The economic feature of this course is appealing to the average student who wishes to enter dental practice at the earliest opportun- ity, as it reduces the dental course of six years to one of five years Qtwo years of pre-professional and three years of medico-dental studyj. Unparalleled opportunities are offered at the hospitals to determine through study and research the interdependence of medi- cine and dentistry in co-operative diagnosis. Professional study requires a type of education commensurate with the responsibilities of professional practice. ln view of the recent ad- vance in both the theoretical and clinical work, valuable time may be saved by utilizing the long summer vacation period. More constant contact with the professional curriculum results inevitably in a greater breadth of knowledge and a higher accomplishment in teclmical skill. Dentistry offers unusual opportunities to those who wish to spe- cialize in surgery, orthodontia, technical and scientific fields, and in general health education. 'The classes are limited in numbers. The next college term opens July lst, 1929. Catalog on request.

Fruitful Work The most miserable people in the world are those Who have nothing to do. Only a little better off are persons who are forced to work for their livelihood, and do it so grudgingly that life is merely a matter of dull routine. Happy is the man who loves his Work, who rejoices in all the details of his calling because he can carry them out perfectly, who rises slowly and surely toward the height of his ambition, and sees the labors of his mind and of his hands growing out of the Weary days into the beauty and strength that he gave them.-Keith J. Thomas. Work As fl Blessing VVork is the greatest boon ever conferred on man. Had he been able to live without it his development would have been hopeless. Look at the races to whom life is easy living, Where nature is most luxuriant and productive, where there being no cold no clothes are needed, and where food can be gathered Without the planting or cultivation. They are the Weakest of G0d's creatures and no progress can be expected from them. The strongest races are those who have much to do to live. NVork has made them.-EX-President Taft.

Delay weakens your determi- nation, postponement will push away your achievement. The moment you think of the necessary thing to do, either do it at once, or plan to do the thing at the very first opportunity. Get things out of your way. The accumulation of postponed duties is, Without doubt, one of the greatest human handicapsvThe Silent Partner. Remember The Other Fellow Whoever claims a right for himself must respect the like right in another. VVhoever Wishes to assert his will as a member of a com- munity must not only consent to obey the will of the community but bear his share in serving it. As he is to profit by the safety and pros- perity the community provides, so he must seek its good and place his personal will at its disposal. Benefit and burden, power and responsi- bility go together.-Lord Bryce.

Y. GEORGE R. FLANSBURG, Resident Manager Fairness The very best thing in your heart is fairness. You cannot be kind, cannot be big, cannot be hopeful and helpful, unless you have fairness in your heart. Fairness is The Golden Rule. The unkind are unfair. The small are cheats. The pessimists are always, always poisonous. Humanity is hungry for fairness. Get the reputation or the name for fairness and the Whole World will come to you. It costs nothing to give fairness and it pays in three ways-in the three big things that a man Wants: Health, Wealth and Happiness. Take Time To Be Courteous A man may fight fiercely to hold his own in businessg but he does not need to fight to get ahead of someone in the elevator, or up the car steps, or at the postoffice Window. And no matter how strong compe- tition is, business and personal courtesy make it easier and pleasanter for everybody.-William H. Hamby.
