Medina Academy, constructed in 1850. The first Medina High School-the Medina Academy-was built in 1850. The town's rapid growth necessitated the construction of a new building in 1897. This brown stone structure now serves as a grade school and as a center for vocational home economics and industrial arts classes. By the 1920's the High School, built in 1897, had become overcrowded. In 1921, the taxpayers of Medina voted to construct a new building-the one in present use. In 1939 . an addition was built includ- ing a girls' gymnasium, a large and a small cafeteria, and music rooms. The old cafeteria, which had be- come too small to provide for its noonhour custom, was made over into a Little Theater. as 7 we ' f On the left-the second High School structure, erected in 1897 and now used as an Y elementary and vocational schoolg on the right-the 1939 addition to the present High School building. 3 t Y THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Dr. Ross H. Arnett George Callaghan Raymond F. Feller PRESIDENT ALONZO L. WATERS Our Medina Board of Education is composed of men engaged in a variety of professions and vocations. Among them there are a newspaper editor, a veterinarian, the village postmaster, a bank treasurer, a merchant, a cold storage proprietor, an advertising ex- ecutive, and a Horist. Thus, on our School Board we have almost every class of vocation represented-a cir- cumstance that augurs well for the just and efficient management of our Medi- na Public Schools. John P. Kennedy J . C. Posson John Vernon Paul A. Carrick C. Hubbard White 4 SUPERVISION Vice-Principal Devlin takes time out for a rare moment of relaxation. One of the busiest and probably best known per- sons in the school building is Vice-Principal Ed- ward A. Devlin. Aside from teaching three agri- culture classes he settles cases of a disciplinary nature, checks attendance, and grants permission for legal absences. The legislative body of the Student Associa- tion, the Student Council, is sponsored by Mr. Devlin. During the interscholastic football and basketball seasons, buses were chartered so that M.H.S. students could attend the out-of-town games. Mr. Devlin was usually the teacher who chaperoned one of the buses. Besides these duties closely connected with students, Mr. Devlin has charge of stock room inventories. THE GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT Mrs. Hinckley discusses vocational prospects with Norman Wurl and Verona Reed. I The happier and the better balanced the indi- vidual, the better the society. Under the direction of Mrs. Olga L. Hinckley students are helped to reach their own logical decisions along vocational, educational, social, and moral lines. Objective tests determine the pupil's abilities, aptitudes, and preferences. In every possible way the stud- ent's personal ambitions and outlooks are the primary concern of the Guidance Department. Bulletins, pamphlets, and magazines on current topics are assembled and made available to the pupils in the Guidance Office. In addition, each student has some personal contact with the Guidance Counselor. U15 'jflflirrv ,4ffc14d 61515555 ENGLISH: JOURNALISM Q J Elsa M. Ferguson, Carol R. Hall M. Genevieve A.B., A.M.

Listening to radio programs, wit- nessing instructional and literary films on correlated topics and books, reading both modern and classical literature, learning to speak and write correctly and forcefully are some of the activities of the English classes. Parliamentary procedures, panel discussions, play dramatizations, letter writing, and stimulation of creative expression are specific phases of the training in the English courses. we . 5' 1 X Ida C.

ADULT EDUCATION To his adult education class, Mr. Brady demonstrates the improp- er use of the table saw. 8 Arden McAllister, Robert Plass A.B. B.S., Ed. M. Social Studies Social Studies Graphs, charts, maps, a standard textbook, visual aids, discussions, current events literature are helps used in the teaching of social studies. Through social studies, the individual student learns to appreciate and understand present world conditions by studying the backgrounds of those problems in the history of the ages. The student is also encouraged in the art of self-expression on world affairs, with special emphasis on teaching clear and logical thinking. Films have been used to introduce a subject or review a unit. One of the more unusual was Broth- erhoods of Man. This was a cartoon presentation revealing that all races and people are essentially alike and that since the world has grown so sma l that all of the peoples of the world live in our own backyard, we must work together in the spirit of one worldfi CLASSES Under the auspices of the Board of Education a ten-week program of Adult Education was conducted this year. Courses in child management, music, art, business, shop work, English, physical educa- tion, current events, retailing, bridge, and chess were offered. Secured as instructors of the various groups were a number of high school faculty members as well as several townspeople. Membership in these classes was open to the general public. Messrs. Merrill Walrath and Clifford Wise acted as directors of the night school. The total registration aggregated approximately 300 persons. No admission was charged for any of the classes, but a minimum fee was imposed to offset the cost of materials used in laboratory courses. Each class was scheduled to meet one night a week for two hours for a ten-week period. Merrill L. Walrath Greta A. Hopkinson B.S. Social Studies A.B. Social Studies MATHEMATICS Laura C. King Melvin H. Miller A.B., A.M. Mathematics Mathematics Clear thinking, accuracy, and precision are the aims of the Mathematics Department. Courses in elementary algebra, plane and solid geometry, inter- mediate algebra, trigonometry and ,lunior High mathematics are offered. Carefully graded problems in these subjects are sufficiently difhcult to challenge the ability of the pupil but not hard enough to cause discouragement. In higher mathematics classes, the use of the slide rule and the sextant are taught. This department stresses the importance of in- formation, principles, relationships, and computa- tion, since these are used in thinking and arriving at conclusions. By emphasizing mathematics in relation to life experience also, the development of the individual is brought about. In the study of processes pupils are taught accuracy and sound thinking, the habit of concentration, and the ability to analyze situations. To develop openmindedness and keen observa- tion in the student is the aim of the Science Depart- ment. Courses in general science,biology,chemistry, and physics are offered to accomplish this purpose. Through experiments, demonstrations, explana- tions, and discussions the pupils become acquainted with the whys and wherefores of the various phases of science. Films are also used to emphasize and supplement textbook work. Adaptation to the post- war period is stressed by wide discussion of the future importance and possibilities of atomic energy. A new feature in the department is the opportunity to earn one half of the required unit of health in the ninth year general science course. This study in- cludes vital functions of the body, nutrition, safety, first aid, and hygiene. The principal aim is to impart information relative to health behavior. David Blasdell Ermie M. B.S.

French, English Skills in reading and understanding the foreign languages are developed in the French and the Latin classes. French students read plays, novels, and short stories in French. Pupils have correspondents in France and send boxes of food and clothing to needy French people. Special French days are held to raise money for this cause. The newspaper La Vie is read in French II. Latin classes study word derivation and read mythology, in addition to translating Latin classics such as Cicero's Orationsi' and i'Caesar's Gallic Wars. Pupils read the Latin newspaper, Res Gestaef' To make clear ancient customs, a Roman banquet was held for all Latin students, and a full length movie with a classical background was shown. Additionally, students listened to recordings of translations of Greek and Roman orators along with those of American speakers. Courses in introduction to business, bookkeeping, accounting, commercial law, typewriting, shorthand, and retailing are offered to students by the Business Department. Through these subjects the depart- ment strives to develop initiative, precision, re- sourcefulness, and efficient business management in the pupil. This is done by building skills by which the student may work independently at his own rate to the best of his ability. The retailing course is supplemented by actual work in community stores, which teaches the pupils cooperation both with customers and with fellow employees. The secretarial practice class types the copy for the weekly newspaper, The M.H.S. Newsf' and for the school yearbook, The Mirrorf, It performs business services for other departments as well.

Medina musical organizations include the Senior and the Junior Bands, the Orchestra, the Dance Band, the String Ensemble, and the A Capella Choir. Also offered are the rudiments of music, harmony, and ear training. 'Ihe main event of the year was the New York State Music Association All-State Sectional Festival., held at Medina in November. Two hundred and eighty-seven students from thirty-five schools in Western New York participated. Sixteen Medina High School music pupils were chosen to take part in the program. Representatives of this department participated also in assemblies, sports activities, plays, and the lndustrial Exhibition. I Pupils in Rudiments of Music write a new musical score. THE LIBRARIES The use of the library has been given special considera- tion in English and social studies classes. A get ac- quaintedi' lesson was presented to the new seventh graders, followed by instructions on how to find certain kinds of books. Eighth grade students have been taught arrangement of books in the library, the use of the card catalog and other reference tools. In the upper grades social studies classes have had spe- cial instruction in how to find materials needed for their particular work. Pupils seeking interesting books for their supplementary reading for English classes have been of- fered helpful sug estions. Members of theiibrary Club have assisted the librarians in preparing books for circulation and in performing lib- rary housekeeping duties. Helen Cillmeister Flora Webb, A.B. A.B., B.S.

School Art High School Art Art courses aim to develop originality, creativeness and co-ordination of mind and hand by teaching basic principles of art and basic skills in handwork. Stress is put on the use of materials for handicraft for leisure time in order to keep active minds and bodies engaged in worth- while activities. During the fall, classes assisted in the preparation of the school exhibit for the 1947 Industrial Exposition. A practical phase of seventh grade art has been the planning of an original model home. Eighth grade students design and plan for the construction of ten different crafts: mask making, block printing, weaving, stenciling,puppetry, model making, enameling, plaster work, and jewelry. Pupils experiment with many different materials and lec niques or concentrate on a few. The Junior and the Senior Art Clubs carry out other projects. INDUSTRIAL ARTS lllr. Morse supervises lathe and drill press operations. lligh School industrial arts classes have worked on in- , dividual projects such as repairing furniture and preparing stage scenery for the Dramatic Club play. The depart- ment did the construction work for the school exhibit at the Industrial Exposition and for the Christmas assembly. The General Metals Class assembled a pipe line to bring compressed air from the boiler room into the Industrial Arts department. .lunior High students have made such articles as corner stands, plant stands, cookie cutters, and memo pads. Boys in the vocational machine shop are receiving in- structicn in the operation of lathes, milling machines, shapers, grinders, and drill presses. Print shop pupils work on the production of report cards, programs, and tickets for school functions. They print weekl over l000 copies of the school newspaper, The M.H.S.

Home Economics Vocational Cafeteria Hom emaking The homemaking classes this year have been small but haven't been lacking in enthusiasm. Two big events were the Seventh Grade Open House and the Cherry Pie Contest. For the first, the seventh graders had a display of aprons they had completed. Refreshments were in charge of the Home Economics II class. Ethel Weber, a member of the sophomore class, was the winner of the local cherry pie contest. She competed in the County Contest at Albion High School the following week. Courses in this department include foods, clothing, textiles, and home management. The vocational homemaking students manage a two-room apartment in Central School. During the ear, each girl invited a teacher to luncl'1,in the Home Economics Department and planned, prepared, and served food to the guest. By individual study of our resources, projects, and reference reading, the agriculture student adapts the course to present day needs. For instance, the classes have made soil tests, mapped farms, and investigated and made credit state- ments for each farm of the boys that studied agriculture this year. Greater emphasis has been placed on agricul- tural resources in other nations of the world. The three classes have made a greater study of world agriculture. Members of the classes discuss various phases of their studies. Movies are shown to further instructions. The Future Farmers of America functions in co-ordination with this department, as in years past. This year the group participated in the Horticultural Show in Rochester, New York, January 16, winning twenty-six prizes and rib- bons and aggregating over 9548 in cash.

Dental Hygiene Health Health training and care are indispensable to the welfare of the student. Through the Health Department pupils learn to act quickly in emergencies, and to understand themselves and their needs. Ever student underwent a physical examination by tiie school physican, Dr, Donald MacDonnell, and had his teeth cleaned by Miss Amelia Potote, the dental hygienist. Audiometer tests also were given, and defects were reported to the pupils' parents. This year in an effort to check an epidemic of scalp ringworm, a W0od's Lamp for its detection was purchased, and all' heads in school were examined for this purpose. The Health Department strives to maintain a means by which students of the Medina Public Schools will be able to meet the situations of life with strong bodies and sane minds. PHYSICAL EDUCATION It's a basket! Someone scores in a boys' gym class. The need for physically as well as mentally fit young people in this unsettled post-war period is recognized by the Physical Education Depart- ment of M.H.S. Seasonal games were played in the Boys, Gym classes. These included football in the fall, bas- ketball during the winter, and baseball in the spring. In addition, there were volleyball, bowl- ing and boxing. Activities to promote the girls' physical fitness were volleyball, stunts, dancing. basketball, speedball, and soccer. These exercises were carried out by explanation, demonstration, and practice in squads. Knowledge and skill tests were given to determine each student's abilities in the various activities. During the last semester membership in the squads was based upon the results of the first semester's test. A f ,l a ., Q l f 9' David R. Parsons Eleanor H. Brown B.S. B.S.

Under the direction of Mrs. Greta Hopkinson, the Safety and Welfare Council strives to achieve cooperation between M. H. S. students and the citizens of the town. Public safety and welfare are stressed. This is done by drives and campaigns as typified by the March of Dimes Campaign. During the 1947-1948 period the Council adopted a school abroad, sponsored a Christmas clothing drive, and directed lessons in home safety. Alice Knights, Joan Forder and Patricia Hess are the officers. THE SAFETY AND WELFARE COUNCIL Q6 THE SERVICE UNION The Service Union is composed of fifty-eight volunteers for school service. With Mr William Matson as sponsor, the group assumes the responsibility of ushering at school functions and of supervising student conduct in the cafeteria, the study halls, and the game room during the noon-hour.

FOOTBALL - I947 Faced with a lack of seasoned and experienced material, the Medina football machine did not establish any record for winning games last season. Only two victories were record- ed by the M. H. S. gridders, the first a 13-2 conquest over Depew. Most important, however, of the two Medina killings was the 6-0 success over Albion in the annual Ar- mistice Day classic which was staged at Oak Orchard Park.

In addition to a double loss to the Batavia Blue Devils, the Big Red baseball nine dropped a 10-8 defeat to Albion on the Oak Orchard Park field. The initial loss to the County Seaters was atoned for in a later match in which Coach Miller's boys annexed 2-1 from the Albion scholastic outfit. The two contests with Albion highlighted the Red and Blue schedule, which was also brightened by twin victories over Holley and LeRoy. BASEBALL - I947 47 TRACK - I947 An unusual dearth of track personnel was experienced by Medina High School last spring when time for the outdoor cinder path and field events rolled around. Because of a deficiency in material Medina did not establish an organized schedule of meets. Bob Gumtow, in his second year as a crack miler, copped the sole first place for Medina in the Western New York Conference meet by clipping off a 4:48.11 mile. The Red and Blue entered eleven tracksters in the Genesee-Orleans League meet and finished in fourth place.

Victories registered included defeats handed to Depew and Albion. Peter Vosteen was the net king for Medina. He won the Genesee-Orleans singles match, and then went on to the sectionals where he gained first place recognition. A move long awaited in regard to a junior varsity football squad received much impetus this year as the result of approval of the Board of Education for such an activity. Financed entirely by the official board, the jayvee grid program got into full swing last fall with Messrs. Arden McAllister and Robert Plass as co-coaches. Few persons doubted the suc- cess of such an undertaking, but those who did were reassured when over forty freshmen, sophomore, and junior candidates turned out for daily workouts. This being the first year for a cub football squad, a full schedule of games was not drawn up. There were instead a number of practice scrimmages with the Lockport High ,School B team and the Akron jayvees. 48 Bottom Row: D. Fredericks, VARSITY BASKETBALL 1947-48 Conquered by LeRoy in the final game of official Genesee-Orleans League play, Coach Melvin Miller's varsity cagers were forced into a second-round play-off with the Red and Black. Upon making away with the G-O crown, the Big Red hoopmen entered Sec- tion V quarter-final competition against Lyons High School, champs of Wayne County. In eight league encounters, the varsity quintet was victorious in six, the two defeats being credited to LeRoy. Included in Medina's victory column were three winnings over Albion. The Medina High reserve squad this year experienced a continuation of a streak of successes started three years ago. Except for a defeat at LeRoy, the jayvees this season, under the guidance of David R. Parsons, athletic director, supported their third consecu- tive unblemished record. Next year several of the first-string players will advance to the varsity ranks, but there are a number of relief teamsters who show bright prospects of upholding the well-deserved reputation established bythe junior varsity.

Although the two groups did not meet together for their weekly matches, each had as its season's goal an active part in the inter-school keg tournaments in the spring. The boys' groups did not have any assigned director, but there were a number of members who dis layed unusual ability and who were eligible for the sectional matches in Rochester following league eliminations. Top Row : O'Brien, Schrader, Matusak, Clark, Payne, Bur- nam, Matson, Vandetta, A. Balcerzak, Bacon. Second Row: Whalen, Bell, Waterson, Culver, Fields, Mo- lander, Stisser, D. Balcerzak, Higgins, Plumley, Gould. Bottom Row: .l. Fox, Albright, Dillon, C. Parada, M. Fox, Mastromonaco, Miss Brown, M. J. Parada, Draper, Slawski, Bracey, Achilles, Kujawa. Top Row: Watts, Mazur, Liv ingstone, Waterson, Miss Brown Maynard, Quible, Mason, W Schultz, Balcerzak. Bottom Row: Fletcher, Skinner Fearby, B. Schultz, M. Pratt, Bell, Starr. Extra-curricular events offered to girls in this group differ little from those of the resi- dent club. The main purpose of this organization is not only to accord an opportunity to persons desirous of additional exercise but also to offer the same schedule of events to girls living in the country who cannot remain after school hours to compete in the wide range of games that are possible for residents of the village. Members of this section hold their meetings during the Activities Period on certain days of the week. Like the resident group, they may participate in play-day programs. GIRLS' NGN-RESIDENT INTRAMURALS 50 N.- RESIDENT GIRLS' INTRAMURALS The girls' resident intramurals program this year was divided into fall, winter, and spring events. Last fall soccer and speedball featured the calendar of events, although two lessons a week were offered to those wishing to learn practical strokes in tennis. Winter sports included volleyball, basketball, stunts, and tumbling. Tennis tournaments, soft- ball games, individual track and field events, badminton, deck tennis, shuffleboard, and paddle tennis were included in the springtime agenda. Top Row.

Representatives of the various grades in nu- merous sports participated in inter-scholastic play-days with Albion, LeRoy, Oakfield, Alexander, Batavia, and several other schools in the Genesee-Orleans area. Over a period of years the girls' intramural sports program has been a growing concern, and during the past school year, enthusiasts have had a great opportunity to apply iheir athletic talents.
