Medina High School - Mirror Yearbook (Medina, NY)

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.
