We hope that this book will prove to be a cherished treasure to its readers; that, in the years to come, as you peruse its pages, it will bring fond reminiscences of the past memories of old friends and places familiar to you. If you derive as much pleasure from reading the METIER as we have in preparing it, then we shall feel that our efforts have not been in vain. Class of 1938 ■a.--. Dedication We, the Senior Class of 1938, dedicate this book, our second volume of the METIER, to the people of the community, whose hearty cooperation has made our school a success.

Referred to, by those dignified seniors, as “green Freshies” we even then set out to follow in their footsteps. We organized our class with Miriam Keeling as president. The outstanding events of the year were the Freshman Initiation and the Freshman party held at the Bethel School. Entering into “good old Mendon Hi” as Sophomores we faced another year which would bring us nearer our goal. Again we organized our class with Arch Law Lindsay as president. The outstanding event of our Sophomore year was a World History party sponsored by our Class Advisor, Mr. Burkholder, and our history' teacher, Mr. Porter. We attended the movie showing “The Crusades” and then gathered at Catherine Nolan’s home where we enjoyed refreshments and an evening of fun. Upon entering Mendon High School as Juniors, we were looking forward to a very busy but happy year together. We organized our class by electing Neale Hicknernell as president. The outstanding events were the Junior Class Play “The Jinx” and the Junior-Senior reception. Now as Seniors and after reaching our goal, we organized our class of eighteen members by electing Esther Jones, president. Pauline Hinton Seniors! (Arch Law applying for a job as . . _ . grocery boy) The Manager wanted a serious-minded youth, so he put Law to a test. “Well, my boy, what would you do with a million dollars?” Law—“Oh, I don’t know: I wasn’t expecting to get so much at first. McClure—“You don’t seem very enthusiastic about my singing: surely I have some qualifications.” Teacher—“Sure. I. admit you have a large mouth.” Teacher—(To Dallas) “Dallas, sit down in front Dallas—“I can't; I’m not made that way.” “Dearest Catherine,” wrote Carl. “I could swim the mighty ocean for one glance of your dear eyes. I would walk through a wall of flame for one touch of your little hands. I would leap the wildest stream for a word from your lovely lips. As always your Carl. P. S. I’ll be over Saturday night if it doesn’t rain.” Farmer—‘Now, Mary Lou, I’m going to teach you to milk a cow.’ Mary Lou—“But, being a new hand, hadn’t I better start on the Emlyn—“When I dance with you, darling, 1 feel as though were on clouds.” Merle H.—“Don’t be silly; those are my feet.” Dale K. went into a drug store the other day and seeing a pay station placed a nickel in the slot and lifted the receiver. The Operator of course, inquired, “Number please?” Dale: “Number nothing! I want my peanuts.” Mazie: “Which travels faster, heat or cold?” Esther: “Heat, because you can catch cold easily.’ w t j w! vt VI 7 T Vt 7 vt 7 V7 V V7 V 7 History of the Junior Class The present Junior Class of Mendon High School started its career of higher learning with the feeling that it was going to be a great adventure. A gentlemen by the name of A. W. Fishbaugh soon proved conclusively that we were wrong. We are now entering the third course of our scholastic banquet, with Mr. Smith as our ever-helpful and efficient advisor. The studies we third-termers excel in are Government and English. A few of our more distinguished members are as follows: Biggest Feet—Norman Carpenter. Most talented—Elaine Griggs. Most studious—Wayne Kennedy. Cockiest—Claude Brown. Heart-breaker—Jessie Nelson.

In basketball Ruth Ann Dutton and Martha Skinner are doing good work. Mary Snavely SEVENTH GRADE NEWS. We have a good basketball team. The players are Alfred Emans, Paul Dotoson, Ralph Hays, Eugene Krick, and Johnny Gilland. We have beaten the eighth grade twice, and hope to beat them the next time. Gloria Sattler entered our grade about a month ago and is doing very well. Some of the pupils in our class are not getting very good grades. For our Geography class we have a very good teacher. I don’t think that anybody in the seventh grade hates any of the teachers. We had a Christmas party and invited the eighth grade. The night of the party the pupils who were there all enjoyed themselves we are certain. - « John Gilliland 1st Row—Betty Crites, Vivian Krogman, Nevada Zellhart, Juanita Krogman, Catherine Nolan, Lenore Roller. 2nd Row—Mazie Mills, Mary Ellen Dutton, Louise Price, Ruth Jones, Miss Bowman. Pi% m Girls’ Basketball Who’s going to win the tournament? Well that will be decided later; however, Mendon has a good chance. The new trophy case looks rather bare with nothing inside it, so M. H. S. girls are going to try to achieve this long-wanted trophy. Let’s give them a big hand. Since you have heard so much about the M. H. S. girls’ team, I might introduce you to them at this time. Nevada Zellhart—Senior—Right Forward Nevada has played some good basketball during her four years of schooling and we are all sorry that she will leave us this year, but we want to congratulate her for her good sportsmanship and help throughout the basketball seasons. Nevada has secured 3 letters which she should be very proud of. Juanita Krograan—Senior—Center forward Juanita is just ending her fourth year of well-played basketball. She has scored many points in all the games. She is thought of as being a fast player by her own school and others who have seen her play. She has well earned three letters. We will miss her very much after this year, hut we’ll always remember her as a “star” BB player. Vivian Krogman—Junior—Left forward Vivian is now playing her third season of BB, and it might be stated that it has been “well-done”. Vivian has scored many points for us during this season, and has played some excellent BB. She is eagerly looking forward to playing even better next year, so she should be complimented. Let’s give her a cheer. Girls’ Basketball Mary Ellen Dutton—Sophomore—Center Substitute Louise Price—Sophomore—Substitute We should have a victorious team next year with there two Sophomores coming on. Mary Ellen and Louise have been very faithful to our team this year, and we extend our thankfulness to them. These two will make up our future team, so here’s luck to them! Catherine Nolan—Senior—Guard Catherine has completed three seasons of basketball in Mendon high. She came in her Sophomore year and has been very active in participating in this sport. She is a very clever guard and always on the alert. Watch your step when you see Catherine coming. She is the proud possessor of two letters. Ruth Denniston—Junior—Guard Ruth has spent three years playing BB for M. H. S. She is another one of Mendon’s fast guards. She recently moved to Spencer-ville, and Mendon is very sorry to lose her. Here’s hoping you make success in your future school, Ruth. Betty Crites—Senior—Guard Betty has completed her fourth year of playing BB. She was very clever in her art of reaching for high balls. Early this season she fell and injured her knee, which prevented her in playing the remaining games. We were at a great loss without her, but we hope she regains full strength in her knee. Girls’ Basketball Lenore Roller—Junior—Substitute Guard Lenore came in very handy on our team, because of Betty’s accident. However, she is considered a good player and we hope she continues her good playing through next year’s season. Ruth Jones—Freshman—Guard Ruth is a very lucky girl to be playing on the first team during her Freshman year. The school is very proud of her, and extends their congratulations to her for future years. On an average Mendon has succeeded in winning most of their games, and should be remembered in years to come. The team also wish to thank Coach Bowman for her patience and helpfulness throughout the 1937-38 basketball season. There were also a number who went out for basketball who should deserve honorable mention. They are listed below.

Last fall while the new gym was being built and when the weather was favorable, we girls played volley ball and soft ball under the instruction of Mr. Smith. The high school girls were divided into four teams with ten on a team. The captains were Catherine Nolan, Pauline Hinton, Juanita Krogman, and Sylvia Boroff. The seventh and eighth grades were divided into two teams with Martha Jane Skinner and Ruth Ann Dutton as captains. Hinton’s and Boroff’s teams won the most games. On rainy days we had hygiene classes under Miss Bowman. She also taught us what good sportsmanship meant. When the new gym was completed we started having our regular classes. To have a very attractive class we all wear blue gym suits. We do many different exercises. At first we couldn’t keep in time but after a time. Miss Bowman said we had improved very much. Besides our various exercises, we play games such as dodge ball and twenty one. Merle Hundley Physical Education The boys have Physical Education classes on Tuesday and Thursdays of each week. Last fall before the gym was completed, we had class out of doors when the weather was nice. We played soft ball, volley ball, and touch football, with Mr. Smith as our instructor. The boys of the upper six grades were divided into four teams with Merle Wilkins, Dale Krugh, Jack Miller, and Alfred Emans as their captains. When the weather was bad we had hygiene class under the direction of Mr. Smith in Room 8. When the gym was completed we started our regular classes there. Some of our activities now are basketball, volley ball, and marching exercises, besides various other interesting activities. There are 40 pupils enrolled in our class.

M Kv 7 7 s7 7 v‘V M usic Review During the year the orchestra and band were the outstanding musical organizations. There were seventeen musicians in the personnel of the orchestra. These boys and girls took their music seriously and the result was an excellent organization. In the course ot the year, the orchestra played for various P. T. A. programs, for Farmers’ Institute, chapel programs, and class plays. We hope that this oganization Continues to build and maintains its reflection of credit upon the school. The high school band was an infant organization, this year being first. In the course of the school year, the band appeared on chapel programs, at basketball games, and on P. T. A. programs. Although short in quantity the organization was long in quality. The boys’ and girls’ glee club made a few appearances but much of their time was spent in learning the fundamentals of music. In a year or so, with the proper work in ear training and sight singing, choral work should be an important phase in our education. This year, for the first time, a music club was organized. The club has been active in selling coca cola. soda, and frankfurters at the basketball games. Besides this work, the club has had musical programs made up of instrumental and vocal selections by the various club members. At a fall program Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lindsay were guest soloists. The vocal and instrumental organizations are again planning to take part in the annual county Musical Festival to be given in April. Mr. McClure School Calendar 1937-’38 Sept. 6—School started.
