Its immediate predecessors, the compilers of the 1935 and 1936 annuals, had earned noteworthy commenda- tion in the yearly contests of the Western New York Press Asso- ciation, and with this creditable rating as an inspiration the present stalf resolved to make the 1937 HMirror the best ever published by Medina High School. Starting Work early in the fall, the members had charge of soliciting advertisements and subscriptions, of making appointments with photographers, engravers, and printers, and of handling all prob- lems of publication-Financial, literary, and art. They boast no great innovations except the presentation of curricular as well as extra-curricular phases of high-school life. They aim merely to picture accurately, by words and photographs, the year's events. To all those without whose interest and assistance this annual would have been impossible, the Staff of the 1937 Mirror,' Wishes to express its appreciation: to Miss Ferguson for her able leadership and sound advice as faculty sponsorg to Superintendent Trippensee for his good-humored encouragement and helpful suggestionsg to its numerous advertisers and subscribers for their Hnancial assis- tance.To each and all of them, The Mirror Staff is deeply grateful. l19

EVANS, instructor of the boys' physical education work, expresses the aim of this department as the improvement and maintenance of the health and physical efliciency of the student. 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.
