WATERS President THE BGARD 0F EDUCATION Expending long hours and endless devotion to tasks affecting the welfare of the Medina Public School System, the nine mem- bers of the Board of Education regulate the activities of three elementary schools and one junior-Senior High School. This year, owing to the increased registration, three additional teach- ers and one janitor have been hired. The ceilings of the first and the second floors have been made sound-proof, window frames have been repainted, and floors revarnished or reoiled. Needed re- pairs have been made, budgets have been prepared and met, and plans have been formulated for the coming year. All these services require time, energy, and sacrifice .... In November, 1948, the Medina Public School System was honored by having its Board of Education president, Alonzo L. Waters, elected to the New York State Assembly. Dr. Ross H.

Conference in Medina on May 13, 14, 15. Burt Towne has his four-year program checked by Mrs. Hinckley and Miss Dahl- quist, while Secretary joan Fox types records. SUPERVISION Vice-Principal Edward A. Devlin's duties cover many diverse fields of school life at Medina High School. Under his supervision most cases of a disciplinary nature are dealt with. He checks at- tendance, and when the occasion warrants them, he grants permission for absences from school. Besides teaching three agriculture classes and being in charge of stock room inventories, as sponsor of the Student Council, the legislative body of the Student Association, he directs and supervises its activities. Mr. Devlin usually is also one of the teachers who chaperone chartered buses which take M. H. S. students to out-of-town games during the football and the basketball season. GUIDANCE The Guidance Department of M. H. S., through its study of, and work with, individuals, aids the student in choosing the right vocation for his personality and aptitudes. Suggestions are based on conclusions resulting from objective findings. The individual's personal outlook and ambitions are of course the special concern of this depart- ment. Bulletins, pamphlets, college catalogues, and magazines on current topics are made availa- ble to students. Although students have always had some per- sonal contact with the Guidance Counselor, a new feature in this respect has been added to the de- partment. Miss Mabel Dahlquist gave interviews to each student in order to straighten out any difficulties that might have arisen in regard to his program. 6 FACULTY Miss Ferguson, Miss Smith, and Mrs. Pelton visit the School Library to discuss additions to the Reading Lists. Mr. Needham, Mrs. Cole, and Mr. Wise pool ideas on reading skills, speech techniques, and audio-visual aids. Four social studies profs -Messrs. Boratin, Martin, Coats, and McAllister -pose for the camera man. The solution of a mathematical puzzle-that is the problem Mr. Miller and Mrs. Martin are pondering. A new bioscope is being tried out by the three scientists-Miss Boardman, Mr. Blasdell, and Mrs. Skinner. Miss DeLand and Miss Dahlquist seek new ideas for the entertainment of guests at French and Roman banquets.

The three business experts-Miss Engelson, Mr. Walko, and Mrs. Hinckley--confer on the keeping of business records. Three musicians-Miss Achilles, Mr. Feller, and Miss Cooper-try out some new music. One learns to do by doing, say Messrs. Robert Schaefer, Lloyd Morse, and William Matson in their frequent conferences. At the end of a busy day, Miss Fortune and Mrs. Bartlett take time out for a friendly chat at the sewing machine. YW!!! was ,,,.,...--1- It's almost time to blow the whistle, says Coach Brown to Coach Parsons, while they watch intramural sports. Modern art-Cubism, surrealism, or what not -Messrs.

Z MAJOR EQUIPMENT N Q CLH55 QF 33 CLASSES In Business English class janet Stork applies for a position with Donald White acting as prospective employer. A junior High School student reads her composition to the other members of Mr. Needham's English class. American History students discuss the part the United States played in the recent global conflict. ENGLISH, JOURNALISM Reading of both classical and modern literature, dramatization of plays, the study of applied grammar, practice in parliamentary procedure, and the writ- ing of compositions featured the basic curriculum this year. Additionally, sup- plementary assignments were made from the Readerls Digest. The Business English group made a survey of business correspondence in local industries, the journalism class studied newspapers, and for practice prepared the M. H. S. News. SPEECH, AUDIO- VISUAL EDUCATION Although no regular class was taught, speech techniques were emphasized, and practice was offered by participation in assembly programs. In Vocational Eng- lish classes, pupils studied units particu- larly adapted for practical use. In addi- tion to the regular work eighth grade groups made a study of newspapers, and ninth graders wrote letters to the heads of various industries they had visited. Films were used to clarify the work of all classes. SOCIAL STUDIES The Social Studies Department at- tempts to create closer relations between history and other subjects. This year, the ninth grade visited several industrial plants in Medina. Upon completion of these tours, the trip was discussed in class to bring out the essential points of the industry visited. Maps, visual aids, and current events literature helped to teach ninth grade social studies, Ameri- can history, world history, and problems of democracy, the subjects offered in this department. MATHEMATICS To develop clear thinking and accur- acy junior High mathematics, element- ary algebra, plane geometry, intermediate algebra, advanced algebra, solid geo- metry, and trigonometry are offered by this department. Pupils in the advanced math courses did field work using the transit and the bubble sextant. The seventh and eighth grade math students made a floor plan of their classroom, visited the Medina Trust Co., and drew up a budget. SCIENCE Teachers of biology, chemistry, phys- ics, general science, and health have applied direct experience as an incentive to learning this year. A half day was spent in the Medina Memorial Hospital Lab as a follow-up of the study of bac- teriology. Field trips were made to a dairy, a bakery, a meat market, and the Buffalo Museum of Science. Individual projects were also carried out to develop keen observation in the students. FCREIGN LANGUAGES French classes subscribed to a French newspaper, La jeunessen and, in con- nection with their studies, wrote letters to French correspondents, held a French banquet, and participated in a national contest sponsored by the Association of French Teachers .... In order to clarify ancient customs a Roman banquet was prepared by the Latin students, whose study consists mainly of translating Latin classics and in studying mythology and Roman customs. Mrs. Martin explains a mathematical theorem to Robert Adams and other members of one of her geometry classes. The present interest of the biology class seems to be the study of various types of bacteria. French II pupils read their monthly newspaper, La jeunessef' while Miss DeLand explains constructions. Secretarial practice students type copy every Thursday for L' the weekly newspaper, The M. H. S. News. Miss billmeister advises senior students on suitable reference hooks for social studies and English. B.ku--. Redecorating furniture is only one of the practical jobs undertaken hy the homemaking classes. THE LIBRARIES The libraries attempt to promote read- ing by buying new books and preparing bulletin board displays, book displays, and school newspaper publicity. Seventh, eighth, and ninth grade students have been given special instruction in library techniques. This year, a suggestion box was placed in the School Library to enable students to voice their opinions as to books they desire. As a result, some books were purchased that otherwise would not have been bought. BUSINESS This year's pupils in business have worked in local business establishments to gain vital experience. These students will become the secretaries, business managers, salesladies, and bookkeepers of their time. Classes in retailing, in addition to studying the principles of selling, made field trips to Hengerer's in Buffalo and Sibley's in Rochester, as well as to local retail firms. Groups have also prepared window displays in their own classroom and in a retail store downtown. HOMEMAKING The new homemaking curriculum strives to be of more help and use to the pupil by meeting the individual's needs. Stress has been on family relationship rather than on cooking and sewing. This year the students refinished furni- ture and made draperies, curtains, and simple garments. Their parents were entertained at lunch, occasions when the students utilized the information they had learned about food preparation, service, and table setting. MUSIC Courses offered in this department are those in rudiments of music, harmony, ear training, and baton and flag twirling. Various vocal and instrumental groups supplementing these classes are: the Senior, the Ninth Year, and the junior Chorusesg the Senior, the junior and the Dance Bands, the Majorettes, the String I Ensemble, the Sportsmeng and the Girls' 4 Sextette. The Sportsmen, a group of male 5 singers, and the Ninth Year Chorus have been additions to the Music Depart- ment this year. I I , , Y I H Advanced music students try their skill in original composi- tion and harmony, while Miss Cooper supervises. FINE ARTS Because the basis of all art courses is a process of selecting and arranging, the art teachers sought through experiments and practice with a wide variety of art materials to develop creativeness and co- ordination in students. The Department tried to apply art to related fields outside of fine arts, such as architectural interior decoration and in- dustrial and commercial art, and to pro- vide for the consumer as well as the pro- ducer of art. Art students Towne and amele plan and arrange the hz weekly display in the show case in the frst floor lohhy INDUSTRIAL ARTS Vocational mechanics, general shop, and printing make up the Industrial Arts Department, Tools, which included a bench vise, were made by the beginning students in machine shop, and surface gauges were constructed by the more advanced pupils. Music stands and bi- cycle racks also have been constructed. Printing students gained first-h-and 5 experience by printing cards, programs, a directory, business forms, and thirty- two issues of the M. H. S. News. They have also painted various areas in the Print Shop. H In farm shop class Mr. Matson supervises a forging operation, while Orren Roberts works on another project. 13 Kenneth Smith, joe Curtin, and several other agriculture students test milk for fat content. I Boys in a physical education class practice 'push-ups - which are not so easy to do as one might think. Bob Tucker and Larry Farman demonstrate to the health class the proper way to apply artifcial respiration. 14 AGRICULTURE Agriculture students carried on twenty- live different crop and animal projects on their farms. These experiments were adapted to the pupil and his farm. For instance, two boys planted fruit trees, which some day will comprise an apple orchardg six others planted over 10,000 forest trees on land not adapted to farming. Classes also carried out group projects, such as fruit exhibits, co-operative purchases, and the building of an agricultural library. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical education tends to better the health of all high school students -by an intensive program in group and indi- vidual dances, stunts, tumbling, and marching. This year the boys' and the girls' gym classes were combined in the teaching of social dancing. The girls were administered skill tests in each sport area to determine their physical fitness standard. The results of these tests were' sent to the State Depart- ment in order' to establish better scale scoring. HEALTH In carrying out the school health pro- gram, each student received a physical and a dental hygiene examination, as well as a dental prophylaxis. To promote better health, milk was given to students who otherwise would have been unable to afford it. In the hope of controlling possible epidemics, ar- ticles on communicable diseases were published in the weekly paper to inform pupils of these diseases. The eyesight and the hearing of each pupil were also checked. EN! . ..,,. 328.6 ... , A , I f 'Q A , f 1 gg RHI F 1. Supt. Trippensee receives good news. 2.

Their combined efforts, each performing its special duties, together produce the finished pro uct. This year the staff purchased a S500 Speed Graphic Camera for the use of school publications. Mr. Clifford Wise, Visual Education Director, is training a small group in its proper use. Because this is 1949 and the members of this year's graduating class are the forty-niners, it seemed that the theme of the Mirror should develop that idea. The Staff decided, therefore, to show the parallel between M. H. S. and a gold mine, with the upperclassmen, the chief miners, and knowledge, the gold. Carrying the comparison further, the Staff has attempted to point out the likeness of other component parts of the school organization to the operation and management of the typical gold mine.

The members are representatives from every girls' sport group, the aim of the club is to govern the policies of girls' athletics in Medina High School. O T H E R S P O R T S The most important of the minor sports was junior Varsity football. The jayvees were coached by Messrs. Arden McAllister and joseph Coats. Considering that this was the second year for junior varsity football, the season was reasonably successful. In their first grid clash a 7-0 victory was ground out over a highly favored Lockport B team. The more experienced Amherst eleven proved too much for the V.'s to handle, and the Little Red lost by a 26-7 margin. After having lost to Akron their first year, the boys were determined not to meet the same fate again. It seemed that Akron also had the same idea, and the two rivals fought to a 0-0 deadlock. Rounding out the season in a benefit game at Lancaster the V.'s experienced their first night game. In a hard fought tilt Lancaster finally succeeded in topping the Little Red ,19-6. Had it not been for injuries to several key players, among them john Hydock-broken ankle, Bob Adams-chipped knee cartilage, and the loss of Nick Schwan to the varsity, the squad would have probably come out undefeated. There were approximately 53 players. Outstanding in line play were: Balcerzak, Baker, Hydock, Hewitt, and Schwan, and in backfield: Adams, Perkins, Turoski, and Wieczorek. Under the supervision of Coach David Parsons, Medina High maintained its high standard of noon-hour and after-school intramural activities. Included in the program were golf, softball, horseshoes, basketball, bowling, badminton, ping-pong, shullie board, volleyball, wrestling, and touch football. The intramurals in basketball were composed of six non-resident and seven resident squads which held tournaments during the noon hour in the Girls' Gym. The M. H.
