We 5 222 THE WOODWARD TEAMS In the history of our school, both the old and the new, we have had occasion to follow teams that could be technically rated good or poor. But never have teams been produced that demonstrated more ability to fight to the end than our teams of this year. Theirs has been a successful year, for they have assailed the teams of other schools with results which established them as dangerous rivals in any athletic contest. Woodward is no longer the pioneer, it is now in a position to carry on its athletic relations creditably. For this position, much credit is due the teams whose pictures appear on this and the following page. Fellows, we're proud of you for the spirit you displayed in carrying Woodward's banner to new heights. Mr. Bevan, Mr. Davis, Mr. Lowry, Mr. Hanham, Mr. Smith, we thank you for your efforts in producing teams of high caliber.

Senior Edition to the wilds of Hindustan in search of the Lost Link. I believe it was some kind of an animal! She told us a bit of juicy gossip which, simmered down, informed us that Jesse Bryant was head of a bootlegger's union. She said that he even shipped liquor into the United States which seemed impossible because of the stringent laws passed by the Sen- ators Hammer and Garn. These laws were enforced by Coast Guard Commander Nathan Forman, ably assisted by Lieutenant Frolich and Sergeant Irvin Matuszak. We wandered on to Venice where we saw Dorothy Liebenthal surrounded by six children riding in a gondola while Arthur Paris sang the Volga Boat Song to her. It was so romantic! We stopped at a little church there and found that Harry Curtis had become one of those meek ministers who tell people to love their neighbors, to be sat- isfied with their lot in life, and to have nothing but kindness in their hearts for others. Joseph Doneghy was the janitor in this church, but in his leisure moments he studied law. We found that Louise Ekert had started a school for wander- ing American children. Her teaching staff was composed of Florence Feldman, a dramatic teacher, and Thelma Eble, a teacher of esthetic dancing. Louise told us that Helen Craig had just broken the world's time record for climbing the Alps. Robert Findley and Oliver Fields had started a gum manufacturing company and their business was stretching. We saw Glen Draper washing the windows of the Pokrywka mansion. Wanderlust seized us again, and we streaked across the continent to aristocratic Russia. That country had comlete- ly changed its policy by accepting the Twelve-Year Plan to commercialize their nation. Gladys Prond was the auto- cratic empress with Ruth Gavirty as Chancellor, Dorothy Harris as Prime Minister, Ruth Jacobs as an official of the Union of Chief Cooks and Bottle Washers. Anne Jakcsy and Genevieve Kalinowski had been sent there as mission- aries, but they had succumbed to the lure of the luxurious- ness and grandeur of the celestial palace, thereby exiling themselves forever from Rosenberg's Temperance League. Bernice Platt had been kidnapped while traveling and had been forced to become one of the seven wives of the Russian Bluebeard, Alvin Stracilo. We visited Koczenas' Inn where we were served vodka by Christina Jones. She was very demure looking in a costume designed by the famous Margaret Schuster. When we left we were driven over the state boundary in one of those Rudderless Sleighs manufactured by Helen and Amy Smith. The sleigh was guided by Louis Neifeld, who won the chess championship of the world in 1949 by defeating Margaret Rupp, the repre- sentative from the United States. Back again we went to Paris to see the Land, Water, and Air Race. The vehicles were to be piloted by Daredevils, Ed- ward Miller and Bernice Markis. We bought our tickets at the gate from Mary Leedyn and were shown to our reserved trailer by our pilot Lillian Lublin. Before the race started we bought multi-colored balloons from Selma Kozman, and Kruse's Instant Fluff from Helen Leasor. The race was quite exciting, but, of course, the female sex was triumphant. Frank suddenly decided to go on to Spain where we saw Charlotte Krebs and Gladys Lineback antagonizing a bull in the Tank Arena. Wandering through the boulevards we found Dorothy Stark selling African relics, Frances Topper vending blooming plants, and Beatrice Woodka, a famous fan designer, sauntering along the street. She was dressed in the latest Spanish style with a lace mantilla made by Mary Morford. We went on to London where we saw B. Schwartz's Illumined Billboards advertising Lillian Wolk's rapid elevation to stardom on the London legitimate stage. Her manager worked for her success in conjunction with Dorothy Miller acting as director. We learned from an English bobby, Louis Wojtowicz, that Marie Weber, Florence Shaffer, and Evelyn Luper had entered the race to cross the Pacific Ocean on Knierim's Puncture Proof Tires. It was feared that Weber and Luper had encountered difficulties and were waging a losing battle against the elements. A rescue party headed by Mildred Klug was or- ganized. They intended to use Rodger's Steamless Steamers because they had been proved to be the fastest machines as yet invented. Anne Shall and Adeline Corman were con- sidered the most intrepid air women of that time. There- fore, they had been chosen as the first women to fly around the earth three times without landing for refueling. Mary Belle Crawford, We found, was the authoress of a new his- tory for the starving Hindus. It has taken me a long time to write this letter, but during the process so many pleasant memories have been revived that if you enjoy this just one-half as much as I have, I shall feel amply repaid. I hope that you will continue your suc- cessful business career in South America because I intend to pay you a visit soon. Sincerely yours, Dorothy Samborn. HE Saga Board wishes to take this opportunity to thank their advisers, Mrs. McManamon, Mr. Dunsmore, and Mr. Alberstett, for their patient counsel and valuable aid in producing this book. They have unselfishly devoted time and effort to helping us with the problems which so often presented themselves. Also we commend Mr. Montgomery and the members of his printing classes for the wonderful co-operation and interest they have shown in this edition. By doing their work painstakingly and by advising us about the many technicalities of printing the book, they have rendered an indispensible service. We are grateful.
