Let the cool swell bathe your eyes with a new and deeper understanding and wash your mind with delightful reverie. Then, let the seven Muses cast before you upon the water the tremulous vision of a spider's web, with soft, silken strands swaying delicately from friendly leaves. Students, marvel at it and the patience and care with which it was wrought. Can you not see in its beautiful con- struction another form, intangible and yet real, the basis of all human life-knowledge? Indeed, are not the material web and spiritual education progenies of the same parent source? Now let us turn to a systematic and logical com- parison ofthe two. Early feeling the value of a strong foundation, the spider lay down a few coarse threadsg you, the students, conquered elementary principles. Next, like the lacy filaments of the web, you wove into your mind the intellectual rehnements of higher courses, of wider learning. Difficulties were met by both of you, but success soon replaced those obstacles. His web is complete, your mental shelves are stocked. You are ready for the world. ARTHUR E. TRIPPENSEE, A.B., M.A. Uma Superintendent if Message My sincere desire for every student of Medina High School is that he may here begin or continue to develop good health, an attractive personality, an ability to think and act for himself, and a capacity to complete a given piece of work accurately, thor- oughly with satisfaction to himself and others- qualities that are necessary to set him upon the road to successful and abundant living. The Class of 1937, as individuals, have grown and developed by putting forth effort in many directions. They have contributed much to the school in scholar- ship, music and art, dramatics, journalism and athletics. They have developed also, through forma- tion of a Service Union and in many other ways, a spirit of loyalty to the school as an institution which has become increasingly apparent and is certainly to be commended. There have been mistakes to correct, disappoint- ments to take, difficulties to overcome. There have been fun, rewards and tremendous satisfaction in the completion of tasks and the fulfillment of dreams. These are a part of the life to follow. Each day can be a new and stimulating adventure, each incident in that day can be made a real event and an oppor- tunity for further growth. Greetings and God-speed to the Class qf 1937! BOARD OF EDUCATION Raymond Sinclair, Dr. ffohn C. Shoemaker, Hugh S. Whipple A. L. Waterr, C. Parson, Edward O'ReilLv, Franeix O'Donnell, Dr. Ros: H. Arne!! Superintendent Trippensee, Donald W. Acer At the MAB Center To a board of education is due much of the credit for the eFticient operation of the machinery of a school system. Because its members work quietly behind the scenes rather than openly about the school buildings, the student may underestimate their importance. The Medina Board consists of nine men, each elected for a three-year term. Its president, Mr. Edward O'Reilly, has served as a member for twenty- three years, four of which he has been its presiding oflicer. Mr. Francis O'Donnell, Mr. C. Posson, and Mr. Donald Acer received their appoint- ments twenty, nineteen, and ten years ago respectively. Dr. Ross Arnett, Dr. John C. Shoemaker, and Mr. Hugh Whipple joined the group in 1933. Messrs. Alonzo Waters and Raymond Sinclair became members this year, filling the vacancies caused by the resignations of Messrs. George VV. Garrett and E. Rowland Clark, who had helped to guide school des- tinies for sixteen years. Without compensation this group has given con- stantly ofits time, thought, and experience to provide the community with a school system of the highest rank. SCl'IOOl 0TQOHlZOtlOD 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 THAT the work of home room guidance might become more personal and, there- fore, more eiiicient, a number of new home rooms in various parts of the building and on different floors were opened this year. The twenty-two home rooms in the High School building now consist of one post-graduate, one senior, four junior, four sophomore, six freshmen, three eighth grade, and three seventh grade rooms. EVERY member of the faculty is a guidance director in a very direct sense of the term. To unify the work, however, a guid- ance council has been appointed. It consists of the following members: Mrs. Olga Hinck- ley, guidance director, chairman, Superinten- dent Trippenseeg Miss Grant, health teacher, and the following grade advisers: Miss Delisle, seventh, Mr. Needham, eighth, Mr. Gaiser, ninthg Miss King, tenthg Miss Boardman, eleventh, and Miss Ferguson, twelfth. It is the responsibility of the members of this council to plan and to execute an adequate guidance program for the Medina Junior and AJOTHER innovation in Medina High School this year is the Club Council, a group composed of the presidents and the sponsors of the various clubs of the school. It consists of thirty-nine members with Miss DeLand as chairman of the group. This council was organized to secure inform- ation in regard to the constitutions, times of meeting, and membership rolls of the various extra-curricular activities. It has arranged a 01712 001445 With the exception of the senior, no home room has more than thirty-live pupils. Whenever possible, a teacher has been as- signed a home room in which mostiof his classes have been scheduled. The object of these smaller rooms is to make it possible for a teacher to become well acquainted with all of his pupils, a fact which should inn turn assist materially in all problems of guidance. yuicfance ounci Senior High Schools. In addition, this council acts as a board of advisers in connection with all matters relating to the fguidance program. The problems of each grade are more or less distinctive and in view of this fact they are treated individually by the director and her advisers responsible for each grade group. The guidance program in the Junior High School has been formulated in such a way as to lead up to the tentative choosing of high school courses during the ninth year. By the time the junior year is reached, the pupil should be ready to devote his energy to the course of study he has chosen. gfud gouncz' schedule for meetings so that there will not be so many conflicts. A committee, consisting of Miss Boardman, chairman, Mr. Devlin, Jean Henner, and Hugh Sanderson, studied the correlation be- tween a pupil's scholarship and his partici- pation in extra-curricular activities. The council is now working toward the establish- ment of one day in the week for all club meetings. 1 1 1 1 1 to its df!-incfuiive ottochments l7 E n glisb THE FACULTY ELSA M. FERGUSON, A.B., A.M.

ARIETY ix the spice of hte! lt is with this thought in mind that the English teachers of Medina High School make their daily assignments. Like teachers in other schools they strive con- stantly to give their pupils a thorough training in the technique of both English grammar and composition, unlike teachers in many schools, the manner in which the work is presented in- spires the students to fruitful research. Thus, through the stu- dent's own initiative, his learning walks hand in hand with him throughout his post-school life. The aims of the English department are many. First, it seeks to give practice in the organization and presentation of material on a given subject. Oral English clubs, held at regular weekly intervals during the class recitation period, and frequent com- position assignments provide valuable practice in oral and written expressions of ideas, clothed in correct and pleasing English. Secondly, it purposes to acquaint its pupils with the major types of literature, old and new, as a foundation for a wise choice and interpretation of reading matter. This also is invaluable in later life as a basis for the wise use ofleisure time. Plays are made delightful through the dramatizations of parts by the pupils themselves. By this method, the students enter into a more intimate knowledge of the fine details or minute characterizations produced by the author. ln addition, the student is benefited by rudimentary lessons on the wheres and whys,' of literary functions. An addition to the regular English work came when ajournalism course was inaugurated during the second half of the semester. Its aims are to train students to form the habit of reading newspapers intelligently and discriminately and to improve their ability to write accurately, forcefully, and impartially. This year, the English and the journalism classes have pro- duced Tlze Sfribblers, a creative writing magazine, and The M. H. S. News, a Weekly newspaper. BY DEPARTMENTS Ora1Eng1i.rh Day is al hand. SECOND new course, public speaking, was introduced in Jan- uary, 1937. Taught by Miss Garber, it seeks to overcome the usual defects common in oral work. Students learn the correct manner of producing vowel sounds and the secrets of sharp enunciation. Through constant practice in speaking, not only is diffidence overcome, but the tonal quality of the voice is also improved. The class holds debates and discussions among its own members and with other schools. By the use of a micro- phone, an opportunity is given for the pupils to test themselves in broadcasting work. Although less difiicult, the Junior High School English can boast as much interest as its big brother, Senior English. The aims of the department are numerous. It endeavors to carry over the simple rules of grammar into correct, forceful, and fluent oral and written English. The simpler forms of letter writing, both social and business, are taught. Good composition Work, creative, if possible, is also emphasized. In order to furnish a worthwhile activity for leisure time, there is developed in each student a genuine liking for good literature, thus promoting his ability to discriminate in reading choices. Grammar and oral English, constructively criticized and corrected, provide good stimulus to an interesting course. Because the manner of pre- sentation plays a strong contributory part in exciting or deaden- ing interest, teachers are extremely careful to assign lessons which will measure the ability of the pupil. The material is not too difficult but sufiiciently challenging to insure gradual im- provement in literary taste. Outside reading is stressed, but graded according to the individualhs power to appreciate. To form an incentive, inter-class competitions along various lines are held. The element of compulsory reading is avoided as much as possible. An Open House exhibition was given in December by the seventh grade English class. The class also constructed a com- position booklet. English DOROTHY E. GARBER, B.S. Ithaca College Englirhg Speech OLGA L. HINCKLEY, B.S. Columbia University Englixhg Guidunve MARCIA J. MUNsoN, A.B.

Through these subjects are cultivated the habit of concentration and the ability to analyze situations. For students who have at least two units of mathematics and wish to learn the use of the slide rule, the Mathematics Club has been organized. Science The science department offers three courses-general science, physics, and chemistry. The first subject is a non- technical combination of a little of everything and is usually prescribed in the ninth year.

St. Lawrence University Social Sfudierg Lalin B., A.M THE FACULTY Social Studies HE Senior High School Social Science Department offers courses in World history, ancient and modern, American history with civics, and economics. History repeats itself. Therein lies its value, for it is by the ruts which are passed that we better know the ruts which are yet to come. Therefore, we are learning, not from our own expe- riences but from those of others. History alone has the magic touch which effectively draws back the veil of the past. It alone can reveal a World long-forgotten, a world on whose treacherous surface people and nations struggled for a foothold. Mere spec- tators are we, viewing from afar a scene in Time's endless pageant. That scene is enacted before usg we are its critics. History! The Social Studies Department has bound itself to many aims. It seeks to regulate our future by a study of the past, to reap for us a profit on the lessons it has taught. It leads to culture and the fine pleasures which accompany it. International atti- tudes, necessary to the cause of peace, are developed among all nations. Our government is dissected, and the importance of each part is noted. There is encouraged in the student the ability to read current magazines, newspapers, and books with an understanding of their historical background. Current trends are interpreted, their probable results determined. Since it tends to remove prejudicial actions and false notions, it gives practice in the weighing, sorting, and judging of evidence. In short, it exposes the line points of each individual, making of him a better citizen. Instrumental in progressing toward this end is the wide use of oral topics, snapshots, maps, lectures, displays, debates, and discussions. The courses are made fasci- nating through novel Ways of prgsentation of material. In one history class, a Major Bowes type of program was given for an oral topic recitation. At still another time, the economics class drew safety posters and carried on a very interesting school election. The modern hixlory :lan .ftudiex world problemx. L. STEPHEN SUMMERS, A.B., A.M. Miltong Michigan Social Studie.: 121 BY DEPARTMENTS Social Studies HE Junior High Social Science Department offers three courses-geography, United States history, and economic citizenship. Both geography and history are required in the Junior High School, while economic citizenship is essential for meeting the qualifications of the new high school diploma. To know other countries is to know one's own better, and geography makes no exception to the rule. The geography de- partment, through movies, pictures, slides, maps, and classroom discussions endeavors to create for the individual student a vivid mind picture ofthe peoples of other nations. A new respect is thus gained for other nations and for their contributions to the world. As a result of this newly-found respect, the student finds himself bound to his fellow brethren by a strong, yet intangible, web of deep understanding. In addition to its geo- graphical work, the department aids the pupil in his choice of the various worldly occupations open to him as a graduate. The history department also is instrumental in the completion of every student's book of knowledge. It points out the back- ground of beginnings in American history, gives an appreciation of the attitudes and ideals which make American life glorious. It vitalizes history, and, by linking the past with the present, in- terprets current trends. This increases interest in newspaper read- ing, which, in turn, makes for more versatile conversationalists. Economic citizenship, the last subject ofthe Junior High Social Studies Department, deals with the structure of government and business. Commonly used terms, together with every-day happenings, are defined and made clear, so that the student is no longer in the dark about political topics, legislative and judicial, and, as a result, is able to think independently. He becomes conversant with his duties as a citizen and is, therefore, of greater value to his community.

Wind I nslrumenlxg Band HE aims of the Art Department are to arouse enthusiasm in and appreciation of the arts, to develop creative ability and hand skill, and to raise the standard of public taste. These aims are stimulated by application of the principles learned to every-day life and by actual participation in art activities. The curriculum includes representation 1, 2, 3, 5. The work in these courses is done in pencil, charcoal, pastels, and pen and ink. Design I, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9 are also taught by Mrs. Katherine F. Gorman. These courses include lettering and poster work, color study, com- mercial art, interior decorating, crafts, and costume design. Not all these subjects, how- ever, are taught during one semester. Only those for which there is a demand are offered during one term. In general, the work of this The art :lanes .stage a marionetle show. 141 department aims to make the student in- dependent and self-reliant in his school life. He must originate his own ideas and carry them out in his own way without any aid except constructive criticism. The Senior Art Club was formed in 1936 for those students who had completed two units of art work. The Junior High School Art Department, in- structed by Miss Esther Peterson, aims to assist each child to develop his creative ability, to help him satisfy his desire for beauty and lastly to train him to appreciate the work of others. These aims are stimu- lated through various class projects, and to further foster the development of co-opera- tion and interest the Junior Art Club has been formed. Music HE aims of the department of music are to develop self-expression, con- centration, and appreciation of good music, to furnish enjoyment for the student body and community, and to stimulate school spirit. In 1935 the Dance Band was created under Mr. Carl HulshoE's direction, and it now plays at noon dances and has partici- pated in several assemblies. The bands give the students something to take BY DEPARTMENTS with them the rest of their lives. Some pupils become professionals, others play at college, and their music helps earn their way, While still others realize the benefits by making many friends and creating a spirit of good fellowship. Other music courses pertain to instruc- tion in the use of the violin, the viola, and the cello. The Junior and Senior Orchestras, under the direction of Mr. Frederick Smith, are very active or- ganizations which aim to develop a technical mastery of the various instru- ments enabling students to play and to appreciate good music. This year the orchestra participated in the Northwestern New York State Band and Orchestra Con- test held at Lockport, New York. To create a desire for better music and to develop the voice of the boy or girl in Junior High School is the purpose of Miss Eleanor L. Heather's work in Junior High. This class of music participated this year in the Seventh Grade Open House Program, and to better stimulate the aims of the group, there has been organized the Junior High School Glee Club, through which students learn voice, pitch, and volume. This method of expressing themselves provides an outlet for the emotions of children of this age and aids them in the cultivation of the art of co-operation. It is one of the best opportunities a child of l FREDERICK E. SMITH, A.B. Allegheny College String I nstrumenlfg Orcheylm ELEANOR R. HEATHER Fredonia Normal 712 H. S.

Credit is also given for chorus, band, orchestra, and private study of vocal and instrumental music. Through these courses the students acquire a new breadth of life, new skills, and a wider appreciation of music. The classes are all engaged in various projects which will stimulate their desire for better music. For instance, the class in advanced harmony has this year been writ- ing original marches for the piano. By this means talent heretofore undiscovered is brought to light, talent already recognized is developed. R. BELLE COOPER New England Conservatory Muxirg Glee Clubx II5 Industrial Arts Romsiuck E.

VICTORIA PETERSON Albany Teachers' College Priniing Home Eronornifs THE FACULTY Industrial Arts OODWORKING, automobile me- chanics, and mechanical drawing are taught by Mr. William Matson. The chief aims of these subjects are to develop manual ability in the use of common tools that will help the pupil in his daily activities and to increase his knowledge of industrial products and processes. These aims are stimulated by the construction of projects and the presentation of the related information pertaining to them. Mr. R. R. Mattoon offers printing and bookbinding which aim to teach stu- dents to make layouts of pleasing de- sign for the usual jobs required of a printer. A sense of satisfaction in using the hands accurately and an apprecia- tion of the artistic and the useful are among the assets of this course. By way of making the individual student better for his post-school life he is given, by this course, an appreciation of good printing and a knowledge of the proper care and repair of books. Woodworking, electricity, and general metal work are taught to all interested students by Mr. Roderick Matson. The aims of these courses are to de- velop in the pupil an interest in avoca- tional activities of an industrial char- acter and to explore the boy's inclina- tions, interests, and abilities in occu- pational pursuits. To this end the Airplane Club was organized, an ex- hibit of industrial arts, projects was presented, and demonstrations made for the seventh grade Open House Program. The courses in home economics aim to develop a standard of living and appre- ciation of the value of personal and social development in the high school girl, and to help students become better home makers. Under Miss Victoria Petersonhs guidance a home economics club has been organized this year to create more interest in these subjects dealing with foods, clothing, home management and nursing, child care, and housekeeping. BY DEPART ME N T S Vocational Subjects Vocational Subjects BUSINESS courses including book- keeping I and II, introduction to business, business law, and business arithmetic have as their aims the de- velopment of the art of keeping sys- tematic records, the appreciation of the functions of modern business and the interrelations between it and the world in which we live, and the imparting to the pupil a knowledge of his rights and obligations in common business trans- actions. Mr. Harold S. Pray is the instructor in these courses. Three other courses are offered by Mrs. H. M. Pray, in the form of secre- tarial practice, first and second year shorthand, and typewriting. The first aims for the preparation of advanced shorthand pupils in secretarial work. The second has as its objective the training of the pupil in the ability to take verbatim dictation at a reasonable rate of speed and the development of a fair degree of skill in transcribing on the typewriter shorthand notes taken in dictation. The latter, typewriting, aims to develop the ability to copy accurately at a fair rate of speed and to aid the pupil in improving his power to use good English, spell correctly, detect and correct errors. Another vocational subject offered is agriculture. The aims of the agricul- tural department are to stimulate wholesome interest in rural life, so as to aid the pupil who will some day enter farming as a life career and to en- lighten others about advanced and technical fields of agriculture offered at agricultural colleges. These aims are stimulated by the instructor's pointing out special types of good farming in a community, by the pupil's learning about new practices through field trips, by his carrying on project work at home, so as to earn and learn at the same time, and by his co-operating with others through the F.F.A. activi- ties. Four courses-agriculture I, II, III, and IV-are offered. Accuracy and speed are the waichwords. HELEN M. PRAY Whitewater Teachers' Commercial Subject.: The Agriculture De- partment was added to the school curricu- lum in September, 1935. Since then, it has carried on project work not only among high school students but also in rural school districts in Orleans County.

A special course in practical corrective exercises is offered to those students not able to take the regular physical education work. Besides this, an intramural program is carried out which consists of touch football, basketball, and soft ball. The more skillful are selected for the interscholastic sports which include foot- ball, baseball, basketball, track, and tennis. Miss Vanderbrook, the girls' instructor of this department, oifers a wide variety of activities. The aim is health development through large muscle activities including or- ganic growth, vitality, and skills. Play days, an intramural basketball program, badmin- ton, ping-pong and tennis tournaments, a 181 softball league, and tap dancing classes are offered. Next comes the health department itself. Much help was given the needy at Christmas time, and through this department assist- ance continues to be given as the need arises. The health department, under Miss Edith L. Grant, is interested in developing in each individual student the best physical, mental, and moral health possible and in removing any obstacle to this realization. The guidance department, as a separate unit, had its beginning in January, 1935. From this date until June every Junior High School pupil was interviewed, and some attempt made to correct maladjustments. During the next school year 0935-1936, the work of the department was further extended to include CID a testing program, Q25 an employment service, and Q35 program adjustment.

Third: It has given a number of tea dances and two evening dances. Fourth: It promoted a Welcome Day for new students in September. To its members, the Ergonian Society imparts a deHnite value by teaching them the benefits of co-operative work and by develop- ing a social consciousness and a knowledge of how to act in social situations which are a most important part of life today.

The club consists of thirty- one members. These members are not necessarily farmer boys but may be boys from Medina village. Meetings are held the first Thursday of each month. In the past year the F.F.A. has distinguished itself in several ways. At the county fair in Albion, it sponsored an interesting exhibit. At a Parent-Teachers' Association meeting the club presented an exhibition. At the State Fair in Syracuse, the club participated in several contests.

Composed of thirty charter active members, it aims to acquaint them with the traditions and the experiences of the stage. Each member is to have a chance to develop his skills and his dramatic ability. The club presented an assembly program in which was included the play, Sauce for the Goslingsf, On April 23 it sponsored an Open House Program for the entertainment of parents and friends. The program consisted of two one-act plays, declamations, and musical selections. Dramatics have much inHuence on the life of a student, for the values received from the training are abundant and lasting. The ability to help another person shine in the spotlight while the worker remains out of sight is also a most desired reaction. Co-operation is enlarged upon in dramatic training. The students must co-operate in their future lives and, therefore, the teaching of co-operation now is most pertinent. A pleasing personality is developed, and the student gains a working knowledge of the stage from an inside angle. Industry, originality, initiative, and good humor are qualities nourished by experiences before audiences. The Intermediate Dramatic Club meets on Tuesdays at 3:40 P. M. in the Little Theater.

Treasurer The Senior Dramatic Club, with Miss Ames as sponsor, consists of fifty members, and it 1S an organization of several years' standing. The club has several aims. Its foremost aims are to provide the art of self-expression for its members and to furnish enjoyable entertainment for the community. These ends are accomplished by the presentation of plays at school and at public performances. Each student participating in one of these plays receives training in poise, co-operation,and the ability to overcome self-consciousness. In the past year the Dramatic Club has presented several worth- while plays. Three one-act plays were presented in December as an evening entertainment. These dramas were: The Florist Shop,', Submerged,,' and The First Dress-Suit. In May the club presented a three-act comedy entitled, Three Wise Fools. Also included in its year's program were several one-act plays which were presented at the school assemblies. These one-act plays were staged under student direction. To the up-and-coming young man and woman the Senior Dramatic Club imparts a definite educational value. The poise and self- conlidence that is gained through the experience of being in a play is invaluable. Meetings may be called for any Thursday afternoon at 3:30 P. M.

Football plays an important part in the athletlcs of Medlna High School. This year's coach was John C. Evans, and the team s cap tain was Armand Bacon. There were twenty n1ne boys out for football this year. Football does a world of good to those who partlclpate 1n It It teaches co-ordination of mind and muscle, co operation with others, and giving and takingl' without malice The tralnmg rules, which must be followed during the season, keep the boy physicallyfit and may influence him to observe them at all times durlng the year Eight games were played this year. To start the season, a scoreless game was played with Fairport. Next came a t1e score game with LaSalle. This battle, which was hotly contested, gave quite a thrlll to the fans. The annual classic at Albion, which was attended by hundreds of people from Medina and Albion, was played on a hard field in weather that would have frozen hot water Medma lost the game, 16 to o. Although the games can not always be won, the player learns not to give up when the going becomes tough. Practice took place every night after school during the football season.

Clifford Evans, consisted of about twenty players. This year's team has lost John Monagan, Robert Hay, Adolph Maraszek, and Adfur Maines. Baseball is beneficial in that it gives a student outdoor exercise. It trains him to be fast on his feet and also to be able to judge accu- rately the course of a ball. During the 1936 season, many interesting games were played. In that with Albion the score was tied 5 to 5 in the seventh inning. The game, therefore, went into overtime periods resulting in a victory for Albion by a one run lead. Another interesting game was played at DeVeaux late in the season. Earlier in the spring, DeVeauX had tied Medina in a game with a score of I to I. In the latter game, Medina completely de- feated the DeVeaux team, winning by a score of 21 to 7. On the whole, it was a bad season for baseball because of rain and cold Weather. Practice was carried on every night after school. 3 BOYS' BASKETBALL Henner, Sanlillo, Cook, Coon, Carpenier, Kinielz, Witkowski, G.

Medina won both of these games, which were with Lan- caster and Oakfield. Another highlight of the season was the defeat of the Albion team, the leaders of the Monroe County League, to the tune of 36 to 27. Basketball teaches the boy to play square and to the best of his ability. It trains him to give and take and to be a real sportsman. It shows him the absolute necessity of co-operation with one's team-mates and with the coach. The varsity teams practiced on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from December to April.

Girls' intramural basketball is under the direction of Miss Gertrude Vanderbrook. There are about fifty-five girls in the entire group. The purpose is to give an opportunity for each girl to be a member of a team, to teach basketball skills, to develop teamwork, and to provide a means of healthful recreation. The play days in which the Medina girls took part proved to be very enjoyable. A banquet was also given to the winning team of each league. The good received from basketball is exceptional. It teaches sportsmanship, shows the value of co-operation, develops self-confidence and accuracy in judgment, and helps build a sound body. The girls played on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:30 to 5:30 P. M.

Medina High School is, indeed, proud of its Reserve basketball team, which is most ably coached by Mr. Arthur Gaiser. During the season, it won ten out of thirteen games. The purpose of the reserve team is to provide training for future varsity players. It also teaches teamwork to the boys. Basketball trains the student to be persever- ing and to play fair in everything he does. It teaches him to give and take. He will need to be able to do this when he enters the busi- ness or the professional world. The Reserve team practiced on Tuesday and Thursday, after school.

The track team, organized by Mr. Edward Devlin, holds an important place in the athletics of Medina High School. Its purpose is to develop co-operation and co-ordination among the athletes. The track team held a Field Day at Oak Orchard Park and participated in meets at Albion and Lancaster. The track team teaches its members to keep themselves physically fit at all times and morally 331 straight, and to be persistent in all their efforts. The team practices every night after school from 4 to 6 during the months of April, May, and June.

The team journeyed with the track team to the Albion and Lancaster Field Days. The value of being a member of the tennis team is that it teaches one an active outdoor sport and how to make use of one's leisure time. The team practices on the community tennis courts on Tuesday and Thursday nights.

The number of boys taking part in the game was about sixty-four. Intramural basketball instructs the student in the basic principles of basketball. It teaches him to become a square shooter and to co-operate with his fellow students. Thus, the experience gained on an intramural team is of great value to the student. The games were played each Saturday morn- ing commencing at 9:30. Moon -your fQczeatZon4 DANCE ORCHESTRA MR. HULsHorr . ....

To the pupils of Medina High School, the noon hour no longer presents its dreary aspects. In various parts of Medina High School, different activities are being carried on. On Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday noons, dancing goes on in the gym. Monday noons are reserved for the beginners, who are taught to trip the light fantasticv by mem- bers of the Ergonian Society. On Tuesdays and Thursdays every one who wishes may dance. The music is furnished by the school dance orchestra. Dancing is not the only form of recreation offered during the noon hour. Mrs. Hinckley, who has complete charge of these noon-hour activities, has seen to it that every one has a chance to engage in some worth while activity. Coach Evans has a group of boys in the Little Theatre who box and wrestle to their hearts' content. It may be that a famous boxer or wrestler will get his start under the guidance of Coach Evans. In the library, many games are played. When one enters during the noon hour, he may hear the snap of a bagatelle board or the slap of a playing card. Other games are A noon-hour lerson in swing. The mid-day games are on' also on hand for those who wish to play them. The students of Medina High School are, indeed, grateful for these means of recreation, and they show their appreciation by participating in them. In addition to all this, movies are shown each Wednesday noon in the auditorium. Pictures of all types may be seen. I -after .Qhoof fame: Since last fall, scores of pupils have come from the rural districts to Medina High School. They are brought in busses which make several trips each day to pick up the students and take them home. While waiting for these busses at night, the students had no place to spend their time. Consequently, they wandered about the halls and caused a great deal of confusion. Then Mrs. Hinckley, head of the noon-hour recreation period, and Superintendent Trip- pensee, conceived the brilliant idea of con- verting the cafeteria into a game room after school each day for a period from 3:30 to 4:30. Checkers, cards, bagatelle, tiddlely- winks and other table games could be played there. Thus it came to pass that the game room was opened in the cafeteria after school. It is under the supervision of four or five high school students who can be de- pended on to maintain law and order. l39 Hem dfied 0 By-Weekly Assemblies HE student assemblies of this school year have been unusually entertaining as well as educational. The Senior Dramatic Club presented a one- act play called His First Shave, directed by Miss Loretta Posson, and the Intermed- iate Dramatic Club gave Sauce for the Goslings under Miss Dorothy Garber's direction. At various other assemblies several persons of widespread fame spoke. Among these was Mr. Arthur I. Carpenter, who has made extensive research on the subject of astronomy. He answered such questions as, Will the sun ever cool off? and Will a trip to Mars ever be possible? Students have had a great opportunity for learning and have been thoroughly entertained by this year's assemblies. Open House Programs On Monday, December I4, I936, the pupils of the seventh grade held Open House. This program was under the direction of Miss Frances DeLisle. The purpose of such a get-together of parents, teachers, and stu- dents was to introduce the seventh grade pupils' parents to the activities in the school which are offered their children. The parents attended gym, music, and other classes, the 401 His Firsl Shave -never a dull moment. Junior Dramatic Club presented a one-act play entitled, Bumbo, Scrumbo, and Blinkogn and following this there came a Home Room meeting during which time parents and teachers discussed school prob- lems. In April Miss Garber, adviser of the Intermediate Dramatic Club, presented an- other such program in connection with her dramatic work. On April 28 the eighth grade pupils under the direction of Mr. Needham, Mrs. Hinck- ley, and Mr. Eggleston demonstrated their work in' the second Open House program of the year. . The Honors Convocations At the Honors Convocation May I5, 1936, all outstanding students were honored by the presentation of awards. In addition to the usual procedure of paying tribute to scholarship, a plan of recognition of band, orchestra, chorus, dramatic, and other extra-curricular work was carried out. The two types of activity were recognized on the same basis. In every case, there was, how- ever, one fundamental requirement ofa basic average of at least seventy-five per cent. Many students, interested chiefly in club work, find this basic requirement an inspira- tion to better scholastic work. This year's Honors Convocation is to occur on May 27. 0 We gfaii of IQB7 OFFICERS HOMER DURNELL ..... Presiden! ARISTINE HALL . . . Vice-President DOROTHY MCPHERSON . . .

Adviser Class colors: Silver and Green Class Motto: En Avant We may easily compare the spinning of a spider's web to the building of an education. Like a spider everlastingly enlarging its gossamer web, the graduating classes of Medina High School have similarly expand- ed. On examining the annals ofthe schoOl's earliest years, we find as few as a dozen in a graduating class. This year eighty-nine seniors hope to receive their diplomas. The class is rather evenly divided, consisting of forty-seven girls and forty-two boys. Records show also that the building which is now the Central School was the High School of recent days. As the enrollment increased, however, the need for a larger building re- sulted in the present structure, which was erected in nineteen twenty-two and nineteen twenty-three.The Class of 1923 was the last to be graduated from the Old High School. With the construction of a larger building and the increased number of students, new courses were demanded. Languages, history, mathematics, and science had been among the first subjects taught in this school. These were later supplemented by the commercial subjects, art, music, manual training, print- ing, and home economics. Recently public speaking, journalism, and agriculture were introduced. Now, we have a great variety of subjects from which to choose. The schedules selected by the future grad- uates are the following: academic, art, college entrance, commercial, and music. A great number of the seniors by entering college will continue to add hlaments to their webs of knowledge. High school train- ing is only the beginning of the intricate web to be woven by the graduates. The class motto, 'KEn avant, signifies the thought and feeling which prevails among the members of the Class of 1937. Their wish is to move forward, not backward, and to contribute their bit to the progress of the world. The colors, silver and green, suggest the silver of the spider's web and the green of the sparkling emerald. During the task of spinning four years of high school education into their storehouse of knowledge, the present Seniors have en- gaged in numberless extra-curricular ac- tivities. Many are members of the Arista Society, Band, Orchestra, Dramatic Club, Boys' Club, Ergonian Society, and numerous other organizations. Members of the grad- uating class participated in the work of pre- paring publications such as this year-book, The M.H.S. News,', and The Scribblers' Magazinef' By being prominent in the many school activities, they have set a precedent for the future graduating classes. In brief, the Class of 1937 has given a concrete form to the web which the students in the future may follow. After launching Filament upon filament for four years, it will join a greater web. Graduation is the turning point of a stu- dentls life. It adds one more thread to suc- cess, and it is with deep regret that the Seniors of 1937 leave the web of Medina High School. l41 IRENE ALBONE C ommerrial MARTHA ALLIS College Enzranee , Orchestra C37, '36, '8513 Harmonic Club C87, '361.

Students have been encouraged to participate in that form of activity to which they are best adapted by temperament and interest. The Dramatics Club, under the direction of Miss Hopkins, presented Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest and a program of one-act plays. Athletics were especially successful, and the basketball team has had an enviable record of victories. A chorus was organized, and an international relations club attracted those interested in World Politics. Each week The Collegiale Center Opinion-a page devoted to editorials, original stories and poems, and college news-appeared in The Medina Trihune. General college gatherings were under the direction of the Student Council. These consisted of assemblies, dances, and small student parties held at frequent intervals. Surh poise! Bingo!
