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.

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.
