T H E M 1 R R 0 R To Our Readers F someone should tell a group of people that he had met dancing M fairies, droll elves, sage philosophers, fastidious exquisitcs, and humble rural folk, and that he had been in castles, prisons, cot- tages, eaves, forests, trains, boats, airships, and submarines all in one afternoon, you would immediately think that he was ai candidate for a straight jacket and a lunatic asylum. 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
