xme&wM*. :*$*% mm mm '•mmmk 1 -v i LN AND OUT OF THE CLASSROOM Activities of the Medina Schools BARBARA COX, EDITOR School Fire Breaks Routine Monotony Fire of unimportant conse- quence broke the monotony pi routine in M. H. S. Friday noon, January 29. Shortly after the noon dismissal, Mr. Wise ? principal of Central School, discovered a fire in the basement of his school and immediately notified \Spike\ Britt, one of the school janitors. Mr. Britt at once snatched up a convenient fire extinguisher and started to subdue the flames while Mr. Wise raced to the fire alarm box. The fire, the first since approxi- mately four years ago when a backfire of a motor in the shop ignited gasoline on the floor, did little damage. A short-circuit elec- tric wire in the basement of the adjacent high school building set fire to scenery resting against it, and when discovered the scenery was a glowing mass of flames. Prompt action of Mr. Britt and Mr. Wise along with the efficiency of the two responding fire trucks soon conquered the blaze. Meanwhile the noon-hour occu- pants of Central School were ush- ered outside in an orderly manner while smoke filled their school rooms. Raised windows and effici- ent ventilation soon took care of this, however, and normal school routine was resumed. Rapid and intelligent action was responsible for the saving of the easily inflammable building. Dr. Tanner Speaks At Boys' Club Meet Last night at 7:30, Dr. Tanner spoke to the members of the Boys' Club and their fathers at their regular monthly meeting. The subject of his talk was \The His- tory of Medina,\ and it was based on some old letters taken from his grandfather's collection. French Eleves Attend Cinema The pupils of the French classes of Medina High School and others who are interested in French at- tended the French talking picture, \Sans Famille,\ in the Medina High School auditorium, Wed- nesday evening, February 3, at 7:- 00 P. M. Dinner for 15 Cents Offered by Cafeteria For some time the cafeteria has been offering dinners for fifteen cents. These meals consist of a dish such as chili con came, bread or crackers, a vegetable, and a dessert. The meals are al- ways wholesome, tasty, and well worth the price in any man's money. It is up to the students 6t M. H. S. whether or not this offer is to continue. With their support the cafeteria will continue to offer delicious dinners for fifteen cents.

Assist Bed Cross The response-, ol Medina to the demands of the Bed Cross and the flood sufferers, in general, has been outstanding. This city con- tributes sums equal to, and ex- ceeding, the demands made upon it by the stricken territory. In contributions alone the sum to- taled over a thousand dollars. In- cidentally, the faculty of the public schools has given forty dollars. Add to these contributions, as a whole, the 70% of the profits from the President's Ball, the gate re- ceipts of the bowling match as well as those of the sports program, and there is a sum that swells to a noticeable amount. Calls for food and clothing have been sent out receiving a response worth much comment. The spirit of giv- ing, almost the same Christmas Spirit experienced not long ago, is prevalent. On Monday night two crack bowling teams, the Champion Texacos and the All Stars, met for a benefit match, the proceeds go= ing to the Red Cross. Tomorrow night, February 5, a huge sports program is to be presented in the Armory for the benefit of the Mid- dle Westerners. In this presenta- tion the world's softball cham- pions, Kodak Park, are meeting a fast Medina team in a fast game anticipated for a long period of time. \Fuzzy\ Evans was to have charge of the boxing and wrestl- ing show, but a last minute change in schedule will take both Evans and his team to LeRoy for a cage contest thus eliminating not only the boxing and wrestling contribu- tions by Evans but also the sched- uled basketball game between the Medina High School varsity and the Collegiate Center team. With the possibility, however, of a new sponsor for the pugilists, with dancing, and with other entertain- ment, an interesting evening is planned.

Medina knotted the count in the last sec- ond ojf play when Canham, who was high scorer, dropped the ball through the hoop simultaneously with the crack of the gun ending the game. In the overtime period Captain Siwirski scored . a foul shot to win the game, Mr, Gaiser's Reserves stretched their winning game despite the loss of George Hagerman who has been temporarily promoted to the Varsity. Clark, Kerr, and Flat- tery were high scorers for the lo- cals.

In the major league games, Yale defeated Pittsburgh by a score of 10-6, and a gicatly unpioved Wildcat team handed the Rangers their first loss of the season, 13-4. Undefeated, Notre Dame re- mained in first place in the minor league as its players made two foul shots to outscore in last place Army, 2-0. In the other game of the minor league, the Cubs con- quered the Tigers, 7-4. The standings are as follows: Major League Won Lost Rangers 3 1 Yale 2 2 Wildcats 2 2 Pittsburgh 1 3 Minor League Won Lost Notre Dame 4 0 Cubs 3 1 Tigers 1 3 Army 0 4 In this week's games, Yale meets the Rangers, and Pittsburgh bat- tles with the Wildcats. In the mi- nor league. Army opposes the Ti- gers, and Notre Dame, trying to maintain its unblemished record, faces the runners-up, the Cubs. School Supplies New Equipment The gym is fairly bursting with new games these days. What with the shuffle board, aerial darts, and that strenuous little game, badminton, everyone is busy. The new ping-pong table also is receiv- ing its second coat of paint and ought to be ready for service soon. The fall's new cage ball isn't los- ing any of its popularity, either. The shop seems to be going in for metal-saws, a buffer, a gas furnace for melting metal or sol- dering iron, and numerous smaller hand tools. It also boasts a new motor-driven drill press and a set of drills with drill gauge and wire gauge for electrical work. The refrigerator, in the home economics department, new in October, is still noticeable for its shining appearance, and the studio couch, new at the same time, is still comfortable. Mrs. Pray says that the only new equipment in the Commercial Department is a \Webster's New International Dictionary,\ Un- abridged Edition.

Dombroski's Spaeds Beat Cox's Busters The first game of the girls' bas- ketball series to be played this season started Wednesday, Janu- ary 27. The two teams of the A League which played were Mary Dombroski's \Spaeds\ and Bar- bara Cox's \Whiz-Bang-Busters.\ In this game the former defeated the latter by a score of 26-14.

The girls in the A League earn two points u game, and those on the B League make one point per game. They leceive these points only on the condition that they play three- fourths of the game. In the future Miss Vanderbrook plans to have tournaments of tennis, ping pong, volley ball, and other sports— all of which will give points toward the earning of let- ters. The total number of points needed for u letter is thirty fire beU ww tun*, rphe village tire department was called, hat the; blase had been, virtually extin- guished before the firemen, ar- rived.
