From the present to the past wehll travel, finding many things unknown or perhaps just forgotten in the hundred years past. In the modern 19605 We have seen great achievements made in the fields of space exploration, medicine and sports. A promising football club, the Cincinnati Bengals, was born in 1968. In a sadder vein, the nation mourned the loss of two great leaders, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. A new double-tiered blidge was opened across the Ohio River, a marked change from the C810 Bridge built in 1888 and the Suspension Bridge of 1865. In contrast, the first Hughes Annual was published in 1870, fonyesix years after the death of Thomas Hughes and the same year that Charles Dickens diedethe illustrious author whose works are read by alm05t all Hughes students. Major League baseball was started with the formation of the Cincinnati Red Stockings in 1869. Ohio State University Was established in 1870 at Columbus. The famous Tyler- Davidson fountain was dedicated barely one year later. Cincinnatits first May Festival was held in 1873, although the completion of Music Hall was still five years away. L Through the years, Hughes High School'has seen promis- ing young students become leaders in many fields and de- velop into fine athletes. The size of the student body has increased and to meet the growing size and need for modern conveniences, the building, too, has been improved. We, in 1969, sincerely wish to think that if Thomas Hughes were to look down upon us today, he would be proud of what he saw. Echoing a voice from the past, we say: hUnlettered, lowly, modest and obscure, And yet his name through ages will endure? : ... 3 frxi . IlnulJIthn I... L Dateline: Hughes High IBZkTI-Iomas Hughes died, leaving his property to the city for the education of poor children. Income from the property paid for the education of needy pupils at Woodward College for ten years. 184?A lot for a high school was purchased on Ninth Street but no building was erected. It was sold in 1851 for $15,700. IBSFA Union Board of High Schools was formed. The Board decided that Race Street should be the divid- ing line between the schools. Pupils west of the line were to remain at Central School IHughesI; those east of the line were to go to Woodward. ISSkFirst Hughes class graduated from Greenwood Hall at Sixth and Vine Streets. 1853eFirst Hughes building was erected on the lot on Fifth Street opposite Mound. 1908-Cornerstone of present building was laid. l91kPresent building was dedicated. 1924715; new wing, known as the Annex, was added on the Stratford Avenue side. 1966-Property on Stratford Avenue was bought for con- structing a. new gymnasium-auditorium. .I'mmnI-Il IIIII III II I m --IIIIIIIIII IIIII .

Hughes High School Memorializes Cohbleris Dream The field of education is often considered to be the most important of all domestic issues. Nowadays, however, there is very little sentimental attention given by individuals to the appropriation of grants meant for the purpose of erect- ing and supporting new schools. There was a time, though, when the generosity and foresight of one humble man pro- vided sufficient capital for the construction of a school build- ing. Thomas Hughes was born in England of Scotch parents. Although little is known of his early life, he later owned a farm of thirty acres located northwest of What is now Liberty and Sycamore Streets. Aside from an early marriage, which ap- parently ended in failure, he lived entirely alone as far as human companionship was concerned. Although he was an excellent horseman and made a good living off his land7 he was a shoemaker by trade. It is ironical that this, the year ending a century of Hughes Annuals, is also the two-hun- He came to America and settled in Cincinnati. 611 ; wins mu; Aqua: or emcumb IDIID IN CINCINNATI, A.

School History Recorded In A Century of Annuals In 1870, the Committee on Annual from the Society of Hughes Alumni produced the first Hughes Annual. Sidney Omohundro, Class of 1862, was chairman. Other members were Miss Isa- bella C. Porter, 1858; Miss Charlotte J. Rowe, 1868; Miss F annie McCarty, 1868; Mrs. Eva B. Rogers Read, 1855; Leonidas B. Cook, 1865; Roderick D. Barney, 1854. The An- nual contained the story of Thomas Hughw and histories of the Hughes Fund, Hughes High School, the Society of Alumni, and the Hughes Monument Movement. It also included lists of graduates, teachers, officers of the Alumni Society, and alumnal dead. That Annual was the beginning of a tradition that has con- tinued through the years. The 1921 staff offered its Annual '1as a fitting record of all our life at Hughes, and a5 a final testament . . . . Of our undying love for our Alma Mater.

In 1922, Clement J. Barnhorn, the welLknown sculptor, com- pleted two lunettes for the War Memorial honoring Hughes men who sacrificed their lives in battle. The first lunette represents the physical power of the State; the second7 the intellectual power of the State.

Alumnal Association Supports Alma Mater A few months after the first graduates left Hughes High School, they began to realize how far apart their interests had carried them. It was then that the initial attempts to organize an alumnal association began. The First Annual Reunion of pupils, teachers, trustees and friends of the h01d Central Schooli, was held June 7, 1856. This school had started in November, 1847, and both Hughes and Woodward later sprang from it.- A toast was given to the teachers and the response was made by Professor Cyrus Knowlton. Although this had been a successful reunion, it was not until February 1, 1861 that a determined few met in the office of Hiram Powers in Shortas Building, Fourth and Hammond Streets, Cincinnati, to adopt a constitution and form the Hughes Alumnal Association. The first re- union, held at Greenwood Hall, was a success. At this meeting, Albert Allen was elected President; J ames Semple, Recording Secretary; Hiram Powers, Treasurer; and Charles Stephens, George Sands, Littleton Omohundro, K. W. Smith, R. D. Barney, and 0. J. Dodds, members of the Executive Committee. Guiding the association in 1869, one hundred years ago7 were Albert Merrell, President; Mary Hirst, Corresponding Secretary; James Ebersole, Recording Secretary; and Frank Peale, Treasurer. The officers for the following year in- cluded Sidney Omohundro, President; Mrs. Eva Rogers Read, Correspendingr Secretary; Charles McFarlan, Record- ing Secretary; and Henry Belknap7 JL, Treasurer. The Society grew and prospered rapidly in the next few years as graduation classes increased in number. At the Annual Reunion in January 1873, all alumni were honored. The speaker of the day was Thornton Hinkle, who grad- uated in 1858 and later became an attorney. 34 There were three successive annual Founderis Day Re- unions beginning in 1898, when Thornton Hinkle was again the speaker. His remarks at this meeting began, HWe are here today in response to an invitation to the inaugural celebration of Foundefs Day of the Hughes High School? Then, in commemoration of the Semi-Centennial of Hughes High School, which was observed on June 17, 1901, a stone tablet was placed in Hughes Hall in the original school building. The alumni in attendance were ushered to their seats by the 1901 graduating class. A most important project in 1911 was the publication of Fifty Years of the Alumnal Association t1861-191U, which also served as the 1911 Hughes Annual, complete with senior portraits. The book is an invaluable history of Hughes High School at the time that the present building was erected. When it was dedicated, the Hon. Louis Schwab was Mayor of Cincinnati, Dr. F. B. Dyer was Superintendent of Schools, and Dr. Andrew F. West, Dean of the Graduate School of Princeton University, was the speaker of the day. The Alumnal Association has made many contributions to the school, including various fountains and plaques. The Class of 1925 gave to the school, in 1950, a picture and the record of John Anderson, one of the best all-round students ever to graduate from Hughes. At the Centennial Celebra- tion in 1951, a plaque was presented to the school by the Alumnal Association to honor the outstanding boy and girl graduates in Citizenship each year. The most recent contribution by the Association was the support it provided for this Annual, which included sub- sidizing the Annual itself and sending out announcements concerning the 1969 Hughes Annual to everyone on its mail- ing list of paid members. 01d Hughes stood on Fifth Street opposite Mound from 1353 until 1910- Because so many Hughes graduates have become prominent through the years, the 1969 Centennial Annual cannot honor them all individually. Therefore: only the one believed to be the oldest living graduate of Hughes High School is pictured here. Now 94-, Miss Cora Morton, was graduatedhin 1891. Her father was in the 1867 graduating class with Miss Clara B. Ionian, who was Miss Morton,s Latin teacher. Her other teachers were Mr. Sanders, mathematics; Mr. Mumper, chemistry; and Mr. Venable, English. Mr. E. W. Coy was principal. In a class of 66 seniors, Miss Morton ranked fourth, behind Frank Stevenson, Nora Etlinger, and June Donnelly. Miss Morton earned Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees at Ohio State University. She taught at Norwood High School from 1895 until retirement in 1935. For twenty of those years, she spon- sored the Annual. Miss Cora Morton, lives with her sister, 3.
