A great soul will be strong to live as well as to think. -Emerson HE purpose of education is to fill the world with better citizens- men and women who have made it so because they have lived. If the public school is to be a vital factor in carrying out such a program, special emphasis must be bent toward Character Education. The aim of such a program then is citizenship and a final goal is char- acter. Knowledge and education are not synonymous. Knowledge alone does not necessarily produce a leader. It alone can not scale peaks, burrow under rivers or weave the thread of human destiny. Practice and knowledge must go hand in hand. An analysis of citizenship is requisite for character building. A Page Sixteen B Q Q Q THEMIRROR Q Q Q 1 person must be well informed, courteous, dependable, truthful, loyal, and above all industrious. He must have a sense of economic value, be a good sport, procure joy in rendering service to others. Man is ad- mired for brains but more so for the trust in him. Dr. Farrand of Cornell University gives the function of an academic university, which is apropos for the secondary school as well, 'tBut the important duty of such an institution and by far its most difficult task is the creation of an atmosphere that will encourage and inculcate, not the learning of factsfthat is relatively simple-but ideals and convic- tions and a realization of the responsibilities of American citizenship. To this end we strive, for: Music is a universal language, not limited to tongue or race. It is simply a form of creative impulse for beauty, and grows out of the life of its time. It cannot be studied successfully by the beginner apart from its social background. People and music, therefore, outline the history of the art of music and reveal the condition out of which arose the distinctive music of each age and country. History gives a vintage point to open a broader view which places events and people in right relations. It aids in judging the past as well as enlarging the future. Government is by its very nature a constantly changing institution, it is essential that students have a picture of their government as it functions today. Current events merely result from past history. Art opens the door of appreciation and all visual life opens before us. It gives vent to the creative impulse and gives a proper prospective on life. Literature is a nation's supreme achievement and by it expresses its greatness. Although the young are wont to say, 'tl am not interested in literature, they are interested in life. But this is life, and this reflected picture gives one a conscience of human understanding through eons of time to a better realization of life itself. Through science one gains a scientific comprehension, a scientific attitude of constructive criticism that makes him more tolerant in human relationships. Combinations and mystic permutations pucker the brow of many a serious-minded follower of the cult of numbers. He ascends to halo heights in pursuit of circles and descends to practical walks of modern business to the end that he may understand man. Again I refer to Emerson who so nobly says, We pass for what we are. Men imagine that they communicate their virtues or vices only by overt actions, and do not see that virtue or vice emits a breath every moment. -John A.

Perhaps this is true- r fierce' literally-but figuratively, you are all climbing the tree of life, seeking success in the top-most branches. Some reach the top, some get weak and discouraged halfway, still others wait until they are too feeble before they start to climb. In Medina High School, however, there are hundreds of opportuni- ties to climb, and many of you have taken advantage of them. In the years ahead when perhaps you, too, are as gna1'led and bent as the tree you have climbed, look back upon these pages, and review the limbs you used in your journey up the tree of life. Some perhaps were frail, but you will never forget what strong and helpful branches Miss Ferguson, our adviser, and Mr. Brown, our Superintendent of Schools, proved to be. --- -The Editor The Mastery of English VERY person who achieves success as an artist must, first of all, become master of his instruments. In order to do with them exactly as he wishes, he must acquire great skill in their use. In the same manner every user of the English language who achieves success as a speaker or writer must become the master of his language, the instrument of communication. Like an artist he must acquire such skill in its use that he can say exactly what he wishes accurately. We must not allow ourselves to become disheartened and give up all efforts to master our language because of our present inability to write or speak well. Every cloud has a silver lining and through persistent, well-directed effort we shall find this silver lining, but, on the other hand, if we give up hope we shall condemn ourselves to a life of com- monplaceness and inefficiency. Mastery of English does not come by sitting and envying successful speakers, but by much effort on the part of the individual. We have many valuable aids in our attempt to gain greater skill in expression. Ready teachers and good textbooks will furnish us guid- ance. Another method of stimulation and inspiration is association with the best speakers. We shall add to our general information as Well as our knowledge of the correct methods of speaking and writing by wide reading and extensive listening to good speakers. Through fre- quent writing of compositions we shall gain practice in clear thinking and in the accurate expression of our thoughts. It is hardly necessary after reading Sir Francis Bacon's opinion of the mastery of English to emphasize its importance. Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and Writing an exact man. -Dorothy Gottovi Page Twenty-two Q Q Q Q THEMIRROR Q Q Q Q Our Characteristics 5 4 the iest of our liy es One of the first and best characteristics is dependability. In school we are given assignments and to prepare our lessons. llle have to be dependable in order to prepare our lessons properly. lVe have to be dependent upon ourselves to carry out all of the requirements of the lesson without the aid of a fellow- pupil. A teacher cannot teach a student properly if he is not dependable. If the student is told to stay after school or complete an assignment, dependability is required. If this trait is not developed in school it will probably never be developed, and the person who lacks it is always a misfit in life. UR school characteristics are the -ones that remain with us for AQ: f ' 1 ' . , ff l ' ' ' ' ld to Responsibility seems to be fully essential as dependability. Every student must have a sense of responsibility. Lessons cannot be worked out if a student lacks the responsibility required to do the lesson. Allow- ing assignments to slip shows a lack of a sense of responsibility. A student must be responsible enough to prepare lessons thoroughly and promptly. Responsibility is required not only in working out lessons, but is equally important in the holding of offices. Students must be able to be responsible for the organization or class of which they are officers. Responsibility is required not only in school, but it is also necessary to the student after leaving school. If he hasn't developed the trait in school, he is apt to be looking for a job continually after he is earning his own living. In order to hold positions worth while one must be well versed in the art of responsibility. Honesty is also necessary to the student. Cheating is often tried by pupils in school, but if they realize the danger of it, they seldom practice it. Others continue cheating until they fail a few times and then wake up. They learn usually that honesty is required in school work and that dishonesty is harmful. When dishonesty is once developed, it stays with a student for the rest of his lifetime. Last, but not least, comes one 's personality. It is as essential as any of the other characteristics. Being congenial and friendly seems to aid in school life. If one is always Hgrouchyt' or unfriendly he has few friends. One of the finest traits of character is the trying to make friends instead of enemies. Students in high schools have always found that a pleasing personality is essential to success in any line. A r p ' -Kenneth Kleinsmith Page TWBIHY-UIYOB Q Q Q Q THEMIRROR Q Q Q Q Book Week OOK Week! Did it create excitement and interest in Medina Q92 High School? Just ask one of the students. For an entire week in the greater number of the high schools in the United States, everyone 's attention was called to books. Big books, little booksg old books, new books pervaded the atmosphere. It was the aim of this enterprise to make everyone better acquainted with book friends with whom he may have had only a speaking acquaintance. In our own school several novel ideas were carried out that made Book Week one to be remembered. The first of these was a book fair held in the first floor corridor. Here it was possible to order books one would like to have. The second plan was an assembly whose theme was books. To portray this idea a playlet was given in which scenes from many of our old favorites played a prominent part. Among these old acquaintances were: f'The Birds' Christmas Carol, The Prince and the Pauper, 'tTom Sawyer, Hllittle XVomen, and HA Maid of 963' A contest was also held to test one's actual knowledge of books. The Winners were each presented with a book. At the end of that memorable week everyone acknowledged the fact that Books are keys to wisdom's treasureg Books are gates to lands of pleasureg Books are paths that upward leadg Books are friendsg come, let us read. -Lillian Boyle School News URING the past two years it has been customary to publish a school paper known as the School News. Summaries of the various school activities and humorous incidents make up the content of this paper. The School News is published in the high school print shops, the expense of its production being met by a compensation of two cents a paper. It was the intention of the founder to have it a monthly edition. Although it has not been published monthly, the value derived from the News has not been destroyed. This paper is not noteworthy because of its educational value and knowledge displayed, but rather for the experience gained by the students compiling it. It affords excellent training for the numerous apprentices in the print shops and for the editor and associates con- nected with the paper. Furthermore, the School Newsl' creates co- operative school spirit and tends to unify the student body. -Frederick Alderson Page Twenty-four Q Q Q Q THEMIRROR Q Q 1 Q The Value of the New York Trip HE trip t.o New York City during Easter vacation proved of great value to the Boys, Club of M. H. S. lYc-eil The boys were the guests of the 'Brooklyn Y. M. C. A., where they were able to observe first hand work of that fine organization. A thorough inspection of the HY building was one of the first things on the program. A fascinating trip to the busiest harbor of the world also figured in the adventure. There, all were filled with awe when they saw some of the world's largest vessels. A clear idea of the immense amount of international commerce that centers about this mighty metropolis was given to the youthful observers. Various excursions about the city gave the boys an opportunity to view many of New York's points of interest. The nearly completed Empire Building, the tallest in the world, showed them how sky- scrapers are really constructed. The efficiency of the traffic system was clearly shown on these excursions. Two great engineering feats were also viewed, the newly constructed Hudson River bridge and the Hudson tunnel. The novel features of these two structures were closely inspected. Altogether, the Boys' Club derived much benefit from the trip. Busi- ness, buildings, commerce, traffic regulations, and many other things of which only New York can boast, filled every moment, and the boys re- turned so enthusiastic that their one topic of conversation was 'fthe trip to New York. School Spirit VV HAT is school spuitl? VVe hear it spoken of every day in our school life, and yet, there are those of us who go through the motions of a cheer leader with only a hazy idea. of the true gold that lies beneath this surface veneer of true school spirit. But to some of us this means a great deal more. It means loyalty to one 's school not only at a football game, but also in the preparation of our everyday work and in the advantageous use of our opportunities. This type of loyalty serves a two-fold purpose-one gets the spirit of cooperation as he yells for the football eleven, while for himself he reaps the product of higher marks and a greater fund of knowledge. A sufficient proof of one's genuine school spirit consists not only of one's attendance at a football game, but also one's attendance at other high school functions and his cooperation with both teachers and students. It's easy enough to be loyal when one sees the football team bringing home a victory, but the true loyalty lies in being on the job Page Twenty-five Q Q Q Q THEMIRROR Q Q Q Q every day and performing faithfully daily tasks that often irk us. As the memory of our school days is one that will linger as long as life lasts, let us try to make it as perfect a picture as possible for memory's art gallery. -Marion Haak The General High School Courses ,gm ORF often than not the student graduating from the eighth grade and entering high school is utterly at sea as to what he will do to gain a living in the years to come. He is confronted with a bewildering number of subjects from which he must choose those which will be most useful to him in his particular vocation. Yet how can the entering freshman choose, when he does not know what career he wishes to pursue as his own life work? No doubt many adults are even yet filled with vain regrets about the profession they would have taken up if they had had, in their 'teens, some experienced person interested in their welfare and capable of giving much needed advice, or if they had had some of the opportunities their children have today, or if, on the other hand, they had made better use of the chances then open. There are many misfits today in every profession, who might have been successful, had they found in their ,teens the type of work for which they were best adapted, and had been prepared to do that work. Our Medina schools today are seeking to keep us from falling into these pitfalls. This is accomplished, in the first place, by offering three major courses of study: the academic or general high school course, the classi- cal or college-entrance, and the commercial. In each of these courses the first year's work is very similar, and may be called exploratory. The subjects generally include English, biology, civics, and mathematics or an elective. By studying these gen- eral subjects the freshman gains a foundation from which he may branch out into the field that seems most interesting to him. 1 say interesting, because the individual who is not deeply interested in his work does not, and can not, give it his best efforts. Furthermore, if the freshman never completes his high school educa- tion, he has at least learned from his biology the rudiments of physiology and hygiene, and the fundamental facts of plant and animal life. His English has introduced him to the best types of literature to which to turn in leisure moments, has given him experience in addressing a g1'oup of classmates on some topic of current interest, of conducting a meeting according to parliamentary procedure, and has trained him to express himself clearly, convincingly, and fluently whether in speaking or in Writing. His civics has prepared him to become an intelligent voter and a law-abiding citizen. Meanwhile, the elective subject gives Page Twenty-six lr Q Q Q THEMIRROR Q Q 1 Q him a taste of art, music, a foreign language, or an industrial course, and may thus help him decide upon his future vocation. That explains why the freshman year's work is often called 'texploratoryf' By the second, or at least by the third year, the student should have some definite ideas as to what he likes best. Having formed these ideas, he specializes in those subjects which most appeal to him. For example, let us say the student is interested in the commercial subjects. He may specialize in that field by taking the regular com- mercial course, or he may take the general academic course and branch out into the commercial field for his electives. Likewise, the students interested in classical, art or music courses may study foreign language, drawing, music, history or science as electives. This brief outline may give some idea as to what the student may do to graduate from high school. The times call for men who have special- ized in a certain line, and the more proficient a man is in his single course, the more successful he is bound to be. Medina High School is not a machine into which boys and girls are fed like so much raw ma- terial to be ground by a. four-year process and then turned out as dupli- cate copies of a single mechanical product. A thousand times no ! When our diploma is handed to us, we as human individuals leave our Alma Mater to take up the challenge of a richer, fuller, and better life. -Vlfinthrop Curvin Around the School Clock with Home Economics HE Home Fconomics department of Medina High School is J 'xg -' 1 - made up of three different groups of students. The first group is composed of High School students, the second, Junior High School, and the third, Pre-Vocational students. THE PRE-VoeATIoNAL XVOHK At nine o'clock every morning the Pre-Vocational group comes over from the Central school. They are instructed in Clothing, Home Nurs- ing, Foods, and Drawing. These girls spend at least two periods in the department every day. Mondays and Tuesdays are spent in the sewing room. There they are given a general knowledge of garment construction, renovation, and wise clothing selection. Their first project is to make a white smock. On Wednesdays they are taught how to care for and prepare dietaries for the sick in the home. The foods class meets every Thursday, and is taught not only how to prepare foods, but also how to plan and serve meals, what to do in emergency cases of fire, burns, etc., and how to use and care for the equipment in the laboratory. In the drawing class on Fridays the girls make their own recipe Page TWBIIYZY-SBVEII Q Q Q Q THEMIRROR Q Q Q 1 books and note-books. They also make place cards, favors, and posters, which help to emphasize the aims of the Home Economics work. Perhaps thc very busiest periods of the day are the third and fourth in the morning. During these periods, one girl taking High School Home Economics, and four students, who work for their lunch, prepare the noon lunch for the students. The aims of the luuchroom course arc: to plan, prepare and serve suitable refreshments for various occasions, to plan and prepare dietaries, to preserve and store food for future use, to emphasize the selection and preparation of suitable foods for the school lunch-that is, foods which will give the students the most nourishment for the amount of money expended. YVhen the 11:45 bell rings, the student customers begin to line up. XVhen they reach the counter, they provide themselves with trays and necessary silver. As they pass along the counter, they are first served the main or hot dishes, next the beverages-either cocoa or milk, next, salads, then rolls, and lastly, the dessert, oranges, and ice cream. Each dish is sold for five cents, except milk and oranges, which are slightly less. A complete, well-balanced lunch costs not more than twenty or twenty-five cents. The number of students served each day averages between ninety and one hundred and fifty. Between 12:00 and 12:45 eight girls take entire charge of running the electric dish washer and of washing all cooking utensils and trays. These girls receive only their lunch in return for their services rendered. The first two periods in the afternoon are devoted to a Senior High School clothing class. The aims of this course are: to teach the relation of the principles of design to beauty and choice of clothing, to teach the characteristics and comparative values of textile fabrics, so as to de- velop an interest in those factors which influence the cost of the family and personal clothing, to teach the efficient use of equipment in the construction of clothing, to encourage a spirit of service through work- ing for others, to teach the relations of hygiene to health, and the care of body and clothing. In the Junior High School Group there are four different classes, which meet the seventh and eighth periods of the day. Because of limited time, each of these classes meets only once a week. The classes are divided according to the grade of the student: YB, 7A, 8B, and 8A. The first class learns how to care for and run the sewing machines. Their first problem is the making of a white uniform to be worn later for all food Work. The next term this class is given instruction in food selection and preparation. The third term the girls are again given more advanced work in clothing selection and construction, while the fourth and last term is devoted to more advanced food study. --Verna Garrett Page Twenty-eight E E Q Q THEMIRROR Q Q Q Q Printing Courses ,- YVO years of printing are oltered in our High School with the major aim of teaching p1'esent day methods of hand setting for commercial and school forms. Each year's work consists of from twenty to twenty-five projects, and includes the keeping of a speci- men note book of the work done. The course in Printing I is divided into three major divisions. The first unit is the setting of straight matter composition and involves learning the case, the terms and tools used, simple make-ready and press work, and the setting of prose paragraphs for the school paper, poetry, initial printing, cut-in notes, proof-reading, punctuation, and the like. The second unit is the setting of commercial job work and display composition, such as: tickets, lctterheads, bill heads, hand bills, window cards, etc. The third unit is the setting of school record cards and other book- lets and printing. This includes programs, library forms, athletic and health forms for records, banquet and dance programs, census cards, Regents' cards, etc. Printing II is offered to those who have completed Printing I, and is designed to give greater skill in more difficult typography and press work to those already interested in printing. Briefly, it consists of about twenty projects involving more elaborate rule work, and border and ornamental designs for covers, title pages, tabular work, and twof color work for mottoes and holiday cards. Both Printing I and Printing Il. are taken daily either one period a day for forty weeks, or two periods a. day for twenty weeks. Sheet Metal I-IEET Metal work is a new course being offered to High School students this term and will probably be put in tl1e Junior High and prevocational curricula in January. This course aims to give the students the fundamentals which a sheet metal worker should know, including the use and care of soldering coppers, floxes used on various metals, lay out of patterns, correct use of metals, and the use and care of the machines and hand tools. The projects made include cake tins, cookie cutters, flour scoops, dust pans, funnels, liquid and dry measures, open and covered pails, waste paper baskets, garbage pails, and many other useful articles for the farm or city home. Page Twenty-nine 1 Q 3 B THEMIRROR Q 1 Q Q junior l-ligh Vocational Course HE subjects offered in the Junior High Vocational course are: woodworking, electricity, printing, and a prerequisite course in mechanical drawing. The Junior High Course is a try-out or finding course. Every boy is given all opportunity to take each of the mentioned subjects for one term. He is then allowed to choose one or two subjects to be taken up during l1is High School Course. In this way the boy is given a chance to find tl1e work that he likes best, and to major in that particular line during his High School Course. Vocational Department HE first objective of the Vocational Department is to train boys to do work with their hands and to give them an opportunity to try out several subjects, so that they can select tl1e one which they wish to take up as a trade. The second objective is to help boys choose the work for which they are best suited and to give them more definite training along that line. The subjects offered by tl1e High School Vocational Department are: auto mechanics, elementary and advanced woodworking, elementary and advanced mechanical drawing, elementary and advanced printing. AUTO LTECHANICS The course in auto mechanics, through scientific knowledge gained i11 class and the actual work done in the shop, aims to give the boy a general knowledge of what an auto mechanic needs to know and do. Furthermore, he will have acquired a considerable amount of skill in the use of tools and a good understanding of t.he automobile. The work in auto mechanics is done for anyone who wishes to bring his car in, provided the owner furnishes any parts that he desires to have replaced. XVOODXVORKING The courses in woodworking aim to present in a logical order the fundamentals of woodworking and cabinet making, together with the possibilities and processes of woodfinishing. In addition, the boy is taught the correct use and care of bench and machine woodworking tools, and is instructed in drawing, mathematics, and materials con- nected with the work. MEGH.-sNiC,u, IYTRAWVING The elementary course in mechanical drawing prepares the pupil in the use of drafting instruments and aims to give some knowledge of simple projections. In addition, the pupil is taught the procedure followed in making a Page Thirty Q Q Q Q THEMIRROR Q Q Q Q correct working drawing and the connnon drafting conventions. Tl1e work i11 the elenientary course develops the power of visualiza- tion, strengthens the constructive iniagination, and teaches tl1e student how to lead the language of the industries. The advanced lneclianical drawing course covers 1l101'C difficult Work, such as: machine detail. sheet metal developments, and the making of blue pri11ts. -Joseph Vincent The Library fall X OUR endeavor to explain the outstanding features in each l 53 neglect either our school lilirary or the liee-XVl1edon Memorial l ,,s. 1' depaitnient of our high school, it is unthinkable that we should Library. Probably no 0110 division i11 the entire school exercises such a wide influence as do these two rooms. They are a sort of Mecca to the teacher as well as to the pupil. 'ln fact, our excellent library facilities, unusual for a school of this size, have completely revolutionized methods of teaching and con- tribute'l 11lllt'll towards raising ll. H. S. to higher standards of efficiency. For example, if an English teacher Formerly wanted to give her pupils an idea of the theater i11 Sl1akespcarc's day. she was obliged to spend an entire class period explaining' the conditions, today, on tl1e otl1e1' hand. a week before she is ready to begin the study of drama she asks the lilw1'a1ia11s to place on the English Reserve Shelf all available ma- terials dealing' with the age of Queen Elizahetli and the development of drama through the Middle A ges. NVQ are then told to find out all We possibly can about that subject and to come to class prepared to discuss intelligently the various phases of lCllZ3lJQtll9.11 life and drama. Vtlhat l said about the English class applies equally well to other classes. Do you see now why li said the library has revolutionized teaching? Gone is the time when the teacher lectures throughout the class period while tl1e pupils vainly try to take notes on what she is saying. Now our teachers remain in the background, guiding and directing our dis- cussion. The class period has, therefore, ceased to be a mere recita- tion periodq it has become a meeting place in which we students con- tribute tl1e results of our own research, and are stimulated by the re- ports of our classmates, to do more reading ourselves i11 our leisure time. Not only is the work made 111ore interesting to us, but it is es- pecially more far-reaching in its influence. for We are acquiring inde- pendence in using reference books, and greater familiarity with the library facilities. Besides the work we do there, We have hours of pleasure which compensate ns for the work, for labor is its own reward. Page Thirty-one Q Q Q Q THEMIRROR 1 Q Q Q Moreover we are not confining our studies to the next ten or fifteen pages, as our parents probably did, for our assignments often carry us to a half dozen different hooks. We are, therefore, acquiring tl1e habit of browsing among book shelves during our leisure moments. Figures are often more conclusive than words. Our school library can accommodate thirty pupils. At some time during each period, every seat is filled, thus making an average of two hundred forty pupils using the school library alone. This, of course, does not include those before school, during the noon hour, after school, or those i11 the public library. Furthermore, an average of one hundred forty-two books is drawn out daily. A question that always comes up when speaking of a library is How are the books chosen? For thc public library the librarians always act as a suggesting committee, while outside of school there is a com- mittee of townspeople, directed by Mrs. Mary Lee Whedon, that sug- gests a list of books each mo11tl1. The combined lists are then sent to Mr. Brown for revision and approval. A significant fact is that, whereas books were formerly ordered yearly, they are now being ordered at least once a month. Since the shelves of our school library are already filled to their utmost, there is urgent need for additional room to accommodate the students and townspeople. ' When we approach the library, we see only a door through which we must pass, but once we have closed the portal behind us, we have entered a new world. Worthy books Are not companions-they are solitudesg We lose ourselves in them, and all our caresf' ln the library we can forget for the moment all that is going on about us and speed away to the land of Utopia where everyone always lives happy ever after. Books of fancy, books of life, Books of joy or sorrow, Books of venture, books of strife, Books We love to borrow. On our shelves you' ll find them near, Shelves so broad and roomy, If you'l1 spend your hours here They will ne'er be gloomy. -Mary Kerr l 4 itil i. will I-'age Thirty-two Q Q Q THE MIRROR Q Q B ORGANIZATIONS R iff' R 9: lx .

As only three new nienibers were taken in this year no formal initiation was held, but the neophytes, Marian Haak, Ruth Bronson, and Florence Pettis, had the very pleasant task of Htidying up after the Hallowe'en dance, which was well-attended. The annual Christmas dance niet with unusual success owing to the eX- cellence of the orchestra and the splendid cooperation of the society.

All members, Whose averages have not been passing, have been dropped from the society this year. Thus, themembers have been encouraged to keep up their marks. In January, Norma Kleinsmith very generously invited the society to her home for a sleigh-ride. A most exciting time was had by all. In Feb- ruary we had a very successful dance, music furnished by the Dance- onians. More good times are in store for this society.

Miss FERGUsoN IT S Seniors we shall soon be leaving dear old Medina High School 'QQ-gots and all its happy day s belund us, and going forth to a new place that we must prepare for ourselves in the world. Whether we shall take root and flourish in the transplanting or not, We do not know, but it is certain that our school days in M. H. S. have given us a much better preparation for our new tasks than We fully realize even now. In our last appearance in our school annual, let us say that the success- ful termination of our school days has been due in no small measure to that faithful group, headed by Mr. Brown, who have so diligently labored that our school days might 11ot be in vain. For our last year a great deal of credit is due Miss Ferguson for her faithful coopera- tion and aid. This year the Senior Class has been an active participant in school life. During Christmas all the Seniors brought packages of food that were distributed among the poor. They sold tickets, also, for the Dra- matic Ulub play, 'tDulcy, for the operetta, The Belle of Barcelona, and for tl1e band concert. Early in the year the Seniors were greatly saddened by the loss of a classmate, Rundel Lasher, and will always keep in remembrance the place left vacant by hi1n. Lorraine VVienke, another member of tl1e class, was forced by illness to leave school in November. VVitl1 the arrival of June our high school days will be ended, but as we stand on the threshold of Life we look backward upon many, many happy days spent in M. H. S. and breathe a sigh for their completion. -Lillian Spiller Page Forty-four Q Q 1 Q THEMIRROR Q Q Q B ACER, ELIZABETH Sarah Lawrence College, Bronxville, N. Y.

The Future of the Class of I93I Gp CRYST AL ball resting upon a square of ebony velvet, and a fantastically garbedk Oriental, absorbed the attention of my ob- i viously nervous companion and me The Hindu began to mur mur weird incantations, which unconsciously drew my eyes to the crystal object and held them fastened there. The ball clouded. Then curtains of heavily embroidered silks, parted by unseen hands, revealed to me an astounding scene as I peered into its crystal depths. Seated in the White House in what Was evidently a Page Fifty Q -Q Q Q THE MIRROR Q Q Q Q cabinet meeting were Verna Garrett and Winthrop Curvin, two of my fellow seniors. lfVhen they were addressed I learned that they had fol- lowed a markedly successful road to political fame, Verna having been appointed Secretary of Labor, and NVinthrop, Secretary of Commerce. The latter, my informant added, spent his leisure in propounding and testing a new mathematical formula that he had discovered in collabo- ration with Professor Hamann, the famed scientist. Slowly the scene faded, and we were transported to desert wastes, where we faintly discerned a figure familiar to the gaze. Drawing nearer we discovered it was none other than Francis O'Donnell, Jr., who was just making his seventh archaeological expedition into the Gobi desert. After talking awhile, he turned on his radio, and soon soft strains of music filled the air. The announcer, who turned out to be our old friend, Ruth Gill, surprised us by saying we were listening to an orchestra, broadcasting from the Hotel Ritz-Carlton in New York. The personnel of this orchestra included Franklin Waters, saxophonist, Harry Christy, banjoist, and the famed piano twins, Fred Alderson and Jud Gilbert. Their success in Jazzland was, indeed, the topic of the day. Turning the dials a little farther, a delicate aria, sung by the operatic star, Mlle. Bernadine Parker, arrested our ears and we listened avidly to the beautiful music. Alas! The program soon ended, and another surprise was in store for us. Herr Karl Schultz was conducting the New York Philharmonic in a world-wide broadcast. This astounding violin virtuoso and conductor, who had won the hearts of the world with genius, introduced the piano soloist of the orchestra, none other than Harold Bannister who was a protege and disciple of the great Yturbi, and the cello soloist, Thelma Gould, whose talent was arousing much comment among music critics. NVe were, however, plucked from all this, to be seated in a session of the Supreme Court. My eyes were drawn toward the judge's bench and what a surprise greeted my eyes! Mary Kerr, sitting in the robes of a Supreme Court judge! I had heard of course, of her amazing success in law, that she had become one of the country's most outstanding at- torneys, but what a marvelous career she was having! Our guide whirled us away to a scene of busy confusion, a meeting of the General Motors' Board of Directors. Seated at the table were four of the greatest financial powers in the United States: Arthur Fore- man, Jack Bundoek, Bernard Chick, and Melvin Pritchard. In the outer offices we caught glimpses of two exceedingly efficient looking young women. Upon inquiry, we found they were Helen Balcerzak and Dorothy Sechowski, private secretaries to two of the heads of the Board. As we paused to admire the offices, our guide informed us that they were the work of two of the most outstanding interior decorators of the day, Howard Caldwell and Alfrieda Quintern. . Page Fifty-one 1 Q Q Q THEMIRROR Q 1 Q Q Feeling a bit hungry, we stopped in a tempting coffee shoppe. The menus informed us that it was one of a great chain founded by Helen Stratcs and Iringard Hellwig. Across the street we noticed a shoppe similar to it. Wle soon found out that it was owned by a rival chain, headed by Marjorie Hill and Marion Gotts. Competition, I understood, was keen. VVa.lking along Fifth Avenue we saw a striking shop window. A sign above it informed us that the store was that of Mlle. Acquere, who, we were told, was taking the country by storm with her cleverly de- signed clothes. I puzzled over the name, for it had a familiar ring, when suddenly it dawned upon me that it was Elizabeth Acer, who had changed l1er name for business reasons. All her advertising as I heard, was done in the New York Times, of which Lillian Spiller was foreign correspondent. A little farther down the street we saw an automobile agency for foreign cars, owned by Kenneth Kleinsmith and Arthur Gilbert. Vile entered a huge building, which we learned was a business school conducted by Hildreth lValker, Doris Law, Kathryn Gaze, and Lillian Boyle. In our conversation with them, we learned that Donald Labigan had become professor of French at Columbia University. Dorothy Hales, Edna Ebeling, and Marie Robinson had also joined the ranks of teachers. Bernice Strabe, Dorothy Gottovi, Julia M. Reil, and Normah Kleinsmith had founded a school for girls which was finding high favor. Athletics had also claimed its number. Charles Montgomery had deserted minor leagues to play third base with the New York Giants, while WValter Sechowski was head coach at Notre Dame. Pauline Hise, after two or three divorces, had decided to settle down as basketball coach at a finishing school for young ladies. Without warning, the heavy curtains closed majestically, and no amount of silver or pleading could induce the Hindu to re-open them. The seance was at an end. -Lillian Spiller Last Will and Testament of the Class of l93I ' SW E, the Seniors of 1931, in the Medina High School of Medina, in .en '. order to form a more perfect school, bequeath our personal property and characteristics to the individuals of the Junior Class fthat they may carry on our workj as follows: Harry Christy bequeaths his exceptional oratorical ability to Flor- ence Chamberlin.

From registration day to February 1 our membership has included eighty-six Freshman and Sophomore boys. Miss Carol Hall and her assistant, Miss Berryman, have given us the benefit of their expert guidance through such perils as the report cards and program cards have presented. The old members also cooperated to teach the new boys the ropes, so that all dificulties Were either Page Fifty-nine 1 Q Q Q THEMIRROR Q Q 1 lr prevented from arising or clse quickly settled. Our interior decorator, Stanley Czerwinski, has kept the steadily lengthening honor roll a thing of beauty as well as of inspiration. Although in September the honor roll included but five names, before the close of the first term that number had risen to eleven names, thanks to the supervision and guid- ance of our teachers. At Christmas time our room was artistically decorated with crepe paper, bells, tinsel, iciclcs hanging from evergreen boughs, and the crowning beauty of our lovely tree. Stanley, of course, headed the decorating committee, and his contributions were very original.

Starting with a very inexperienced group of players, the team promises a great deal for next year's successes. There were only one or two men this year who had seen active service before. This was a great draw- back, but it was gradually overcome. Another deficiency that had to be overcome with time was our size. Most of our varsity players had not the required physical development to compete successfully with other teams.

Miss Ames said we'd certainly have a question on that. These exams! AI'm a nervous wreck when they 're over, aren't you? I'll say! But I surely am glad that I have Thursday morning free. I can study up on that Physics. I never have learned how to draw an electric bell or a galvanometer either, and there are about twenty rules I've simply got to learn! Oh hum, it's an awful life! The two speakers passed out of earshot, and I was left to my reflec- tions. After all, why cram? Is there any good to be gained from it? In the first place, it is a bad habit to acquire. One reaches a point where he says, Oh, I'll look that up before the exam. In the second place, cramming is most unnerving. One repeats facts in a monotone and chants poetry until, when the fatal moment has at last arrived, it is impossible to distinguish between facts of which one is certain and those learned on the spur of the moment. To quote one of our teachers: Anyone can cram enough to pass a subject the next day with a fair mark, but who will remember the next year, or even the next week, what one has learned for a. day? Furthermore, the student who crams is probably not so well liked by his teachers, for they, too, enjoy the comfortable feeling that there is no need for anxiety about a student. If the pupil prepares his lessons faithfully each day and accomplishes the allotted task, the teachers will find it a pleasure to work with him. Having thus conscientiously fulfilled all these requirements, it will be possible to dispense with the burning of the midnight oil. Having done my labor and earned my wage and played the game for fair. -Mildred Wood One Noon-I-lour A151 UOH! Stop! Stop pulling my hair! Oh, please! Leave my vanity case alone. Help me, someone! Ouch! Catch him! Whence these blood-curdling cries you ask? With reluctance I confess they came from the Seniors' reception room, 306. Here, for one brief hour, studies forgotten, all indulge in a fleeting visit to child- hood. Jokes, stories, wails, laughter fill the air and echo far down the hall. Who has been in my desk? Oh, where is my English book? I simply must do my lesson! An exciting chase follows-over seats, over chairs, over some poor innocent's feet. Shouts ring far down the Page Seventy-two Q 1 Q Q THEMIRROR Q Q Q 1 hall. The book is almost recovered when suddenly there appears in the door a stern, incensed figure. Less noise, please. Why can 't you be more quiet? If you want to shout there's plenty of room out of doors. Peace reigns. The calm fill is broken with a scream as the mis- chievous culprit Cfor the sake of convenience we'll call him-Johnnyj scatters a shower of ice cream cone crumbs down the tormented girl's back. After many exclamations intended to mend his ways, she, exasperated, resumes her seat. There is a momentary lull until two gallant knights dash in, armed with yardsticks, and dart all over the room. The combat ends in a mad chase around the room and convulsive fits of laughter. In the midst of all this confusion, our home room teacher slips quietly upon the scene. To our seats we immediately retire, and the culprits dash from the room. Studies are resumed and another thrilling episode of 306's dramatic noon hour goes down in history. -Ruth Gill Chemistry Lab ,gag H, WHAT an awful smell! Whew! Where did you get those ancient eggs? What in the world have they to do with the noble science of chemistry? VVait, wait, my boy! Your ignorance is astounding. To think you would ask such a question. Have you never delved into the mysteries of chemistry? Let me enlighten you. Just at present we are making hydrogen sulphide, the chemical term for what you call a smell As for its relation to eggs it is due to- and the speaker plunged into a mass of chemical details that left the uninitiated one floundering in a sea of doubt. To those of us, however, who inhabit this sanctum every Monday and Wednesday afternoon, all these proceedings are perfectly clear. Our noses have long since become accustomed to the varied smells that issue forth. The monotony of this existence never endures long for someone Cin most cases a girlj does something to Hliven things up. Escapades such as these include: slight HD explosions ftaken very calmly in the most partj, being overcome by chlorine, or causing a mild panic by letting a poisonous gas escape. And yet it is said that the true artist works on and on quite oblivious to interruptions. Even so is this the case with us, for we struggle on not allowing these interruptions to disturb the even tenor of our way. -Aleta Kendall Page Seventy-three 1 Q Q Q THI-:MIRROR QI! Q 1 Oh, Mr. Dutcher- PATIENT figure tramped up the hall. One hand held an elec- fftlgz-ws tric bulb, the other a lengthy ladder, but his face had a look of long-suffering patience. Half-Way to his destination a clamour came from behind. Turning with some difficulty, the toiler was confronted with a small boy. Oh, Mr. Dutcher, I've lost my locker key. lVill you open it for me? It's down on first floor. With a patient sigh the one addressed set down his burden and trudged off after the insistent youngster. This task accomplished, he again began the ascent of three flights of stairs only to be halted by a feminine wail. Oh, Mr. Dutcher, have you seen Miss Hall? Having replied in the negative, our harassed hero again took up his march. This time he succeeded in reaching his ladder safely. Should- ering his burden, he was about to continue when- Oh, Mr. Dutcher, Miss Ames can 't fix the scenery. Can you come down and help us? Down, down, down to the auditorium. Then five minutes of agonized Wonder as the scenery swayed to and fro, undecided whether to stand or fall. Final success and then, with one foot on the first step of the stairs- Oh, Mr. Dutcher, is there any yellow paper? A trip to the stock room and then again he gained the semi-security of his ladder. This time all seemed Well. He gathered up his ladder and electric bulb, advanced one foot, then another. Truly success seemed to be his! But alas! With the ladder half-Way through the door there came a cry- 0h, Mr. Dutcher, we Want to see the old cuts for the 'Mirror.' Will you unlock the door for us? Five minutes of peace ensued, and the ladder had been firmly placed, and mounted When- Oh, Mr. Dutcher, the study hall door is locked, and my books are all in there! Will you open it for me? So the day goes, and as at last the weary man sinks into bed he hears, at the doors of dreamland, a cry- Oh, Mr. Dutcher- -Mary Kerr :Wu - ' A ,lf .--. . 332153132 uw- 1 V.

Quillen HEN a caller persists in telling you something you already know, only long training in good manners enables you to conceal your boredom. lVhen a book tells you something you already know, you nod your head in approval and say, How true that is ! A large per cent of the people in this world do this very thing. It may be pleasing to one's vanity to have an author's opinion coincide with his own, but it certainly is of no more value to him than to smile approval at his own image in a mirror. Yet he will not accustom his mind to an author who invites him to examine a new idea or challenges his faith. He throws the book across the room and calls it Bunk! Thus he throws away his only advantage over the illiterate, for the illiterate can review the thoughts to which he is accustomed, without a bit of eye strain. There are two groups of readers, those who wish to escape boredom and those who wish to acquire wisdom. The first group reads without hope of remembering, which perhaps is well, for the material read is oftentimes not worth remembering. The latter group-those who read with the idea of Himproving their minds -sometimes fail in their end, for they regard themselves as bags to be filled rather than fields to be cultivated. According to Robert Quillen, thc writer who gives him the return on his investment is the one with whom he never agrees. He reads him because he awakes so adroitly a spirit of antagonism by his defense of what, to the reader, is wrong. The thinking reader is the one an author covets. He feels compli- mented when he has make one think. If the writer hasn't made the reader think, he probably hasn't done much thinking himself, or else his thinking is to suffice for both-in which case one should stop reading and begin to think for himself! -Ruth Bronson Fire Drills v N THE study hall Johnny Cwe call him this for lack of a better It namej was engrossed in his studies. There was history to do, French to translate, and algebra to be conquered before he dared enter the somewhat subdued sports that were going on about him. Quite regardless of the fact that a teacher was trying to maintain a rigid discipline, notes found their way stealthily about, and even candy disappeared in a most astonishing manner. But Johnny was oblivious to all this. VVhat were the seven, or was it five, provisions of the Inter- Page Seventy-tive 1 lv Q Q THEMIRROR Q Q Q Q state Commerce Act, and was the past participle of jeter jette or jete ? Suddenly upon the rising din a mandate from the front of the room brought about temporary peace. But alas! It was not to endure for long, for just as poor Johnny was conning over the rules for distinguish- ing the discriminant of a root, a terrible noise smote his ear and a sibilant Firel beside him awakened him fully to the fact that here was another one of those fire drills! To the others this came as a blessed relief, but Johnny felt his heart sink as he thought of the deficiencies so apparent in his store of knowledge. 'tWhy can't they have those fire drills when a fellow hasn't any- thing else to do?'l he mumbled angrily. Outside, the warm spring air was as wine to the spirit, but Johnny could see nothing in the surrounding View that offered any relief from the sentence that was sure to fall- After school tonight. At last the drill was over, and Johnny scuffed back to his seat quite out of sorts with everyone, even himself. I hate those silly old fire drills, he muttered wrathfully not caring to notice that the entire procedure had taken only four or five minutes. There's so much good in the worst of us, And so much bad in the best of us. And even so may it be said of fire drills. After all, can you beat some of the queer ideas of students? --Donald Labigan Popular Songs The Lost Chord .......................... ..... T he Band The Lost Cdisj Chord ...... . . . .......

About two weeks before the great debut of Dulcy fifteen tickets were presented to every Seaiior. Teams were organized to encourage the selling of the tickets, but to most appearances the Seniors felt that they must retain possession of those prized objects as long as possible C probably because of their great timidity in asking people to buy theml. You know those Seniors. Timid? Oh, very much so! Every day the president would urge the Seniors on in vain. Behind her back would rise surly mutterings as I can't possibly sell those tickets. I've canvassed the whole street and sold two tickets. It's positively terrible. Alas! The reckoning day came when everyone had to report the number of tickets he had sold. Such excuses and sheepish faces as were exhibited. Some Ca very fewj gave a praiseworthy account of their salesmanship ability, while others muttered deeply in their throats ' ' None sold.

IQ One Hundred Fi Q Q Q THE MIRROR Q Q E EDUCATION IS LIFE! HOSE who consider the class room as dull, who think of school in terms of theories and impractical prob- lems, have lost the true meaning of education. Theor- ies properly conceived are guides to life. Education in its broadest sense, is a mirror of life and continues throughout the years. Rochester Business Institute takes every precaution to relate class room theories to actual conditions in the busi- ness World. Students see real life unfolding before them. They get a new vision, a new enthusiasm. FEATURING HOME STUDY COURSES Accountancy, Bookkeeping, Stenography, English Those who are unable to attend R. B. I. immediately are urged not to postpone their business training. Home Study courses are offered in the subjects enumerated and include bookkeeping and typing as well. Students may transfer to day school classes at any time. Benefits of contact with instructors are provided for by visits when necessary to the Institute offices.

Rootlets up through fibers blindly gropeg Leaves unfold into horizons free. So man's life must climb From the clods of time Unto heavens sublime Canst thou prophesy, thou little tree, What the glory of thy boughs shall be? He who plants a tree Plants a joy, Plants a comfort that will never eloyg Every day a fresh reality, Beautiful and strong To Whose shelter throng Creatures blithe with song. If thou oouldst but know, thou happy tree, Of the bliss that shall inhabit thee! -Lucy Lareom 'g -f-..i.'-1? : ' ay 4 I' l Eiljgggli, A l : rn A- - 5.5 i Hr- fi l --W- . -u fiiiili.. .1f' l' df-f Page One Hundred Eleven Q Q Q Q THE MIRROR Q Q Q E One Hundred Twelve I ,..,,,, 1.,, W - I' ' W ' ny W X ix L V' ERE 5 A li,5: 'rwQ-mmf 1 f - 34:5 K, 3 'E lg.
