As a fitting theme for the 1946 yearbook, the first Mirror to be published in peizrelifzze since 1941, the Staff chose the subject, Education for Peace . In the form of a three-act pageant, the ways in which Medina High School is preparing its stu- dents for the task of preserving the peace are de- picted. Essential traits fostered in M.H.S. classes, clubs, organizations, and sports are featured as subheads in the three acts. Pictures and action shots complete the theme.

Playrrifal PhyrimIEdufa1io1z Edumliozz Girlf Boyf In the boys' gym classes seasonal games were played: football during the fall, basketball in the winter, and baseball in the spring. In addition to basketball in the winter, some volley-ball games also were played. Funda- mentals of basketball playing were stressed in all the gym classes to give the players a better understanding of the game. Highlighting the indoor physical education program were the calisthenics used in Navy pre-flight training. The girls' physical education classes included such activities as soccer, basketball, volley-ball, soft ball, calisthenics, marching, stunts, and tumbling, plus low and high organized games. Class captains and teams for each sport were chosen so that leadership, cooperation, skills, sportsmanship, and competitive spirit might be stimulated. Girls who have physical defects or who are unable to participate in regular gym work do corrective activities to help improve their con- dition. In relays, a boys' physical education class practices tumbling and other exercises. TRACK AND TENNIS C19-45D In the Genesee-Orleans County track meet, Medina placed third. Outstanding trackmen last year were George Conley and Tom Curtin in the 100-yard dash, Andy Papadinoff in the 440, and Al Vail who did well in the 880 event. In the New York State track meet held at Rochester, Conley and Papadinoff repre- sented Genesee and Orleans Counties. Of the ten sections participating in the meet, Genesee and Orleans Counties placed fifth. The tennis team defeated Amherst, Batavia, and Lancaster. John O'Donnell and Jack Ver- non won the Genesee-Orleans tennis champion- ship from Batavia, but were defeated in the sectionals at Rochester.
