WV. 37 NV. '64 INv. 75' Foreword INCINNATI has recently completed a year of splendid development in private and public enterprise. Not only have many important undertakings been initiated, but the foundatiori has been laid for a period of steady and reason- ably rapid growth for the entire City. The adoption of the bonds and special tax levies proposed by the City, the County, and Schools, to provide funds for their constructive programs, indicates an optimism on the part of the people that augurs well for our future. In this era of growth, on whose threshold we are now stand- ing, no influence can be more potent for good than that of the 66,000 pupils and the 1,700 teachers enrolled in the ninety public schools of the City. Among these, Withrow High School is un- excelled in its span in scholarship, athletics, and training for Civic service. I wish for the school and for the class of 1927 every success. C. O.

All educational activities of Cincin- nati were in private hands until 1829. Those children whose parents did not pay did not receive instruction; At that time there were forty-seven schools with a total enrollment of sixteen hundred. Cincinnati was then, and until the Civil War continued to be, the center of learning for the West and Southwest. The Cincinnati College was the outgrowth of the Cincinnati Lancaster Seminary, which was established in 1815 through the efforts of Dr. Daniel Drake and Reverend Ioshua L. Wilson. In this sehoo1 the older pupils, under the direction of teachers, were used as monitors and teachers for the younger children. Wiiiiam H. McGuffy, the author of the celebrated school readers, and Ormsby M. Mitchell, the founder of the Cincinnati Observatory, were members of the faculty at the Seminary. William Henry Harrison was a director. The school occupied a building erected on the present site of the Mercantile Library Building. Professional education began in Cincinnati with the establishment of the Ohio hiedical CoUege in 1820. Lane Theological Seminary and the Cincinnati Law School were established a few years later. The leading spirit in establishing public schools in Cincinnati was Nathaniel Guilford. The result of his work was a law passed in 1828 providing for puhhc schools in Ohio. The city acting under the provision of this law, constructed two buiidings of brick and stone of two rooms each. One stood on the river bank near the Front Street pumping station, and the other on Sycamore Street, near Fifth Street. A little later four other buildings were occupied, but 8.11 were Crude structures and utter1y inadequate. It was in this same period that the Cincinnati high schools had their beginning. William Woodward fe1t the need of education in the West, and, through the influence of his friend, Samuel Lewis, provided for the establishment of Woodward Free Grammar School. Later he changed the conditions of his gift to make it possible for the trustees to establish a high school. The school was opened on October 24, 1831, and during its existence it has been called successively Woodward Free Grammar School, Woodward C011ege, and Woodward High Schoo1. Thomas Hughes. Woodwardis neighbor, was an English shoemaker. Following Woodwardts ex- ample, he bequeathed twenty-seven acres of land to the city for the establishment of a schooI. The fund thus created was the beginning of Hughes High School. George Graham employed an architect to plan a model schoolhouse. In 1833 he had this school built on his own 10t on Race Street, When it was completed, he offered the whole property to the Council for the cost of the building. The Counci1 at first refused to pay the amount, but finaiiy accepted the building. It was brick, two stories high. and had two rooms on each floor. Nine other schools patterned after this model were afterwards built at a total cost of $96,000. Those ten schools were controlled by a Board of Trustees which was composed of one member from each ward. Nathn anie1 Guilford was the chairman of the first Board. Men teachers then received from three hundred to five hundred dollars per year, and women from two hundred to two hundred and fifty do11ars. Ow: or THE EARLY ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS Evening schools were established for boys in A I'V'anzanOldPrinf 1840, and for girls in 1855. These schools were founded for the boys and girls who must work, for the adults who 1acked the advantage of an earlier education, and for foreigners who wished to learn thetAmerican language. 19 From the beginning of schools in our City both the public and private schools have ranked high. After the evening schools were established, there came a time when the schools of Cincinnati were in the hands of the politicians. The schools suffered from lack of funds. and for many years not a single new school house was erected. Then came the renaissance of education in Cincinnati. Under the leadership of an able superintendent, aided by high-class men in the Board of Education, and a large body ofearnest teachers, the school system began to improve. The work was reorganized so as to make it meet the present-day needs of the community; and many old buildings, that were inadequate, unsafe, and unsanitary, were remodelled or replaced by new ones. Within twelve years, thirty buildings were constructed or remodelled; and some were replaced by handsome new ones at a total cost of five million dollars. The cost of the new Hughes, Woodward, and Withrow High Schools is included in this. In these high schools there are offered the general, manual training, domestic science, commercial, industrial, music, art, and agricultural. courses. The business of the high school is to furnish both liberal and definite vocational training to the student who knows what he wants to do; and to furnish to those who are undecided as to their choice of a vocation experiences which will assist them to choose. Vacation schools are provided as recreation centers for children who must stay in the city during the summer. These schools do not continue the hook work of the regular school. Its curriculum includes Such occupations as appeal to a Child whose school books have been put away for a time, but who must he kept busy. Summer Academic Schools, which were instituted in 1908, have two purposes: to enable pupils who failed in one or two subjects to catch up, and to enable unusually bright pupils to skip a grade. When Charles MCMiCken died in 1858, he gave by will almost the whole of his estate valued at $1,000,000 for the purpose of establishing and maintaining two colleges in Cincinnati. Nearly one-half the property thus devised was lost by a court decision; so that for ten years the revenue derived from the estate was applied to its improve- ment. Finally there was passed by the General Assembly of Ohio an act under which the University of Cincinnati was established. In 187-1 the Academic Department, now called the Nlchlicken College of Liberal Arts, was formally organized. In the years that followed the many varied departments that round out the functions of a complete university have been or- ganized. The College of Engineering is noted for its cooperative course. Students are handled in pairs, the members of each alternating so that one student is at work while the other is attending college classes. In this way the practice of engin- eering: is taught in the shops or on a railroad, under actual commercial conditions. and the science underlying the practice is taught in the University The College for Teachers is also a cooperative school; and the College of Medicine is arranged on a cooperative basis with the General Hospital. There are today seventy parochial schools in Clncmnati in which there are 500 teachers and 19,000 pupils. It thus appears that Cincinnati, with well- detined purposes is seeking through the cooper- ationinf all its civic, commercial, industrial, and educational institutions to develop a unified system of public education that shall adequately meet the Hrmms HIGH SCHOOL needs of all its people.

ZIEGLER Conumu'cial CLYDE FIEGER HERE is always one person upon whom the success of a great work depends. So it is With the Withrow Annual. One name should rightfully be as- sociated with the success of this work. This honor should be placed upon Mr. Fieger, a member of the Withrow Faculty, and an adviser for the Annual Staff for six years. It is for this reason that the Annual Staff asks you to 50in them in extending to him your congratulations for his work which has been made successful through his fine enthusiasm, artistic interest, and his executive ability. THE ANNUAL STAFF 24- ' 25 Greeting to the Class of 1927 VJ ONIE of us who are no longer young would like to know what sort of a place this 5 town of ours will be in fifty years. It is fair to presume that the next half century will be one of.continued achievement in the arts and sciences. Will men and women be wiser than they are now? Will there be less of evil and more of good? W511 there be contentment and happiness? You will live to know the answers to these questions. Not only will you be the beneficiaries of the discoveries and inventions that are quite certain to come, but some of you Will have a part in their making. It in any particular it is to be a better world, you will help to make it so. We expect much of you. While we shall miss you, we rejoice in your privilege. May the years to come he even more pleasant and fruitful than have the four years you have lived at Withrow. t E. D. LYON. May, 1927 26 Seniors OUR years ago the Class of '27 entered East High as humble but sincere freshmen. Slowly we became accustomed to the routines of this splendidinstitution. Thane the name of the school was changed to Withmwiin honor of Dr. Withrow, and East High became a fond memory. However, unlike its name, the Spirit of East High did not pass, but remained and grew as the spirit of such a school could grOWeintinitely. Having a definite purpose and aimeaccomplishment in successiwe returned to school the follmving fall resolved to make ourselves worthy of the ideals of XVithmw. Our class attained high averages in scholarship and at the same time was well repre- sented in athletics and other activities of the school. The third stage of pleasant journey through Withrow found us as proud Iuniot'si proud of nut accomplishments in the class room and on the field and proud of the fact that we would he the next class to graduate from these walls of learning. Yet we did not rest on our laurels. Instead we entered into the spirit of the school and set a stand- ard pace for the rest of the student body to equal. Our members had a monopoly in the realm of athletics. We felt our responsibility as leaders of the undergraduates and felt assured that we had not failed in that respect. ' At last, and yet too soon, we were Seniors and our goal was within sight. Not only did we need to equal the ideals and accomplishments of former classes, but also, we had to create new ideals and attain greater accomplishments. We know that we have bene- fited by our experiences while in VVithrow. Our characters have been molded definitely. Wye have acquired knowledge and poise. Lifetime acquaintances have been made. We have been prepared, to a large degree, for our life's work Indeed the future 100le very promising. :k :k :1: is :k 4: 4: The Class of '27 will disperse, but the Spirit of VVithmw-Llear old Writhmwiwill live on forever. And so we pass 0n,emaking mom for other eager students. forgetting many ac- quzuntunces and many events, hut never tnrgettmg our Alma Dlater, VVlthmw.

' In much the same position am I, the Spirit of Withrow. Enthroned high in the heart of each pupil, I am surrounded by countless memories of happy days at Withrow. You will remember that the seasons stood in the palace of Apollo. each season typical of the activities of men during its duration. So, also, the seasons stand in my palace. But Autumn is no longer the season of the harvest, of the crushing of the grapes. It is the season of football, of Crisp, Clear days, of hard fought battles, of triumphs on the field. Winter, still hoary as in the clays of Ovid, brings to students at Withrow innumerable activities: basketball, swimming, dramatics, music, and hard study. Spring is the season when the young man's fancy turns to lighter things, and work is neglected in the joy of warm, beautiful days. Summer brings the crowning event in the life of every Senior, Commencement, with all its attendant glories and joys. Now Commencement has come to you crowning the full years which have passed since first you entered Withrow. How happily you entered then! How gallantlyl The world was yours, you were the worlds: to take or to leave, and you believed it was to take. Life is long, you said. How swiftly that first year passed. Somehow I think you were different from most Freshmen. You were not the usual cowering,r children. No Quickly you became im- bued with that mysterious quality, school spirit. You stood up straight and met the world with the square look which has won you so many friends. You were still Freshmen when two sad events occurred. Because of a much re- gretted incident, the school was denied the climactical game of a successful football season. All wore mourning. Then the name of your school was changed. At first you bitterly opposed this. You said you could never Cheer for Withrow as you had for East, that all your spirit was gone. But you were mistaken. The Withrow Spirit rose triumphant from the ashes of the departed Spirit of East High, and now I have long been supreme. During your Sophomore year you lost the ego of the Freshman. In the incoming Class you saw yourself mirrored, and tried to correct the faults thus revealed. You looked down on the Freshmen as you had been looked down upon when you were Fresh- men. How wonderful it was to be a Sophomore! When your Sophomore year was behind you, and the joys and responsibilities of the Junior year lay ahead, you responded. The Tower News and Annual Claimed your time and talent. You were Charter members of the newly organized Dramatic Club and year-old Scribblers. The orchestra, the glee clubs, and Special Chorus, the lunchroom staff, and the various clubs relieci on you. You were well represented on that football team which lost its hard-won Championship by a doubtful technicality, and on all the other teams. You were active in every phase of school life. Almost before you could realize it you had become Seniors, members of the highest class in the school, looked up to and deserving of all your honors. For the Senior is the bulwark of all school activities, and you did not fail to live up to expectations. The girls founded the Girls Athletic Association, better known as G. A. A., both to bring greater participation in athletics, and to give greater comradeship and acquaint- ance. Worthy aims, indeed! And now that your Commencement is approaching so rapidly, and your school days here are almost at a close, you are beginning to realize Why the end of your high- school life is called Commencement instead of Finis. For you are less proud and haughty now since you know how little you know, and have learned how much there is to learn. You have been a fine class. You have had athletes who have won records, and artists who have taken laurels. There are scholars among you, and musicians, writers, actors, and orators. Many of you will be famous. And I pray that in the moments of triumph your eyes may grow dim as you lay a bit of the credit on that pure and beau- ttiful influence which Withrow exerted over you. As one of an endless procession of classes, you are about to pass out of the life of this school. As for me, Classes may come and Classes may go, but I go on forever. Bon Voyage. KATHERINE BACHMAN.

The play is well made; a little drama, a little tragecly, a little farce and a great deal of comedyeall so skillfully blended that a perfect unity of action is obtained. The actors, too, are splendid. Each acts just as his part demands. There is no affectation or self-consciousness, except where the plot calls for such characteristics. Even the absence of a Villain does not decrease the interest. As for the scenery, it is past description, for it is our own Withrow. And the actors, the critics, and the spectators are ourselves. ale 5: :1: a: a: a: a Do you remember the first act? - The genial Wyatt McCall was captain of the football team. Robert Roose, the tall and saturnine, was editor of the News. Shorty Applegate performed on the lunchroom Cash register. We were only utterly insignificant Freshmen, of no importance to anybody but our- selves and the teachers who were afflicted with us. Nevertheless that first act was most important; for the multitude of characters was introduced and adjusted, and the stars began to shine. By the time the intermission came the play Was proceeding smoothly. The second act opened quietly enough, but there was soon plenty of excitement. The actors had gained confidence and skill. We had graduated from mere tyros into accomplished young Thespians. The ripe fruit and senescent eggs of higher criticism were no longer thrown at us. In fact, we not only amplified our roles, but began to do a hit of criticizing ourselves. The dramatic interest was strong in the second act. There was the Hughes game and the tensity immediately following. There was the basketball and baseball and a hundred other interesting things. Again the intermission, and again the rising of the curtain for another act, every hit as entertaining and surprising as the first two Everything was preparing for the climax. Even the great football game, still the high point of interest, was a tie, and the decision remains suspended. Unfortunately, basketball, excepting tor the indis- pensable faculty game, did not appear. The other sports were left, though, and the studies. Oh, those studies! And oh, the students who wrestled with theml Would that we could write in full the saga of those despotic lessons, so innocent without, so treacherous in fact. Take, for instance, Physics and his malodorous cousin, Chemistry. They were cute little playmates, always rolling big formulas across the stage, or reciting ten step experiments. Third year Mathematics was another engaging Chappy. His genial remarks about polyhedrons and other unspellahle things brought shrieks arid roars from the students. Cicerots ethousandth appearance before the younger generation was marked by furrowed brows and an increased respect for Roman air pressure. We may safely assume that French and Spanish history was read as it was never read before and as it Will probably never be read again. The stenography classes put on a little magic stunt, turning vocabularies to pot- hooks, and vice-versa. The household arts girls had a peaceful year, except once when a careless maiden dropped a biscuit through the floor of a corridor and stunned a painter in the hall below. We finished Macbeth, Macbeth finished the year, and the year tin English at leastl very nearly finished us. What with climbing water-slides, dodging ghosts in West- minster Abbey, and watching the British peasantry going to the dogs, we had a pretty strenuous time. So it went, now a bouquet from the history teacher, then a subpoena from Mr. Surdo. One day we had first lunch, the next day we ate spinach. 5F 5K 3K 5: $ 5': tk We donlt know just what the fourth act will bring, but we are sure that it will be a htting climax. With a setting that is always growing more beautiful, with the ad- , vantage of a spontaneous and original plot, and with a cast composed of that apotheo- sized type of actor known as a senior , the play cannot help but succeed.

XVe felt that Our salad days were o'er. We faced the world with a confidence born of previous successes and looked forward to the coming year with the eagerness of explorers sailing uncharted seasv Our anticipations were not entirely unfulfilled. Looking back in retrospect over our checkered sophomore Careers, we see that much has been accomplished in the way of athletics. One of the striking events of the season was the girls; interclass swimming meet in which the sophomores covered themu selves with glory, needing only ten more points to take third place. Wye shall point out with pride in after years, that the Girls Athletic Association was born during our sophomore year. We have tenderly fostered its care and development and will relinquish it to our successors a Bigger and Better Baliyfj Several of our classmates are members of the football squad which is to establish the Cornell Cup linally and firmly in W'ithrow's trophy case in 1927. We perceive that everyone has successfully weathered the examination hrainstorms and is making for port with all possible eelerity and full intellectual steam ahead. VVithrow expects every man to do his duty. We must not allow our native modesty to lead us to believe that we are not included in that statement. Some of us may feel that the duty is an unpleasant one but its path lies straight before us. Are we, even as sophomores, exerting our utmost efforts to equal and excel the high standard set us by our predecessors? After all, our own commencement is but two years distant and beyond it lie still more worlds to conquer. W'hen we are seniors it will be too late to begin those achievements for which we are to be so celebrated even after our departure. If we did not begin our ambitious preparations last year we are beginning none too soon now. XVithrow is the youngest in years of the Cincinnati high schools. Let us en- deavor to make her an infant prodigy When we graduate in 1929 we should leave VVithrow not only none the worse, but a great deal better for our sojourn in it, .

They are shy, silly, creatures, who never will grow up. Poor kids! Ohl No, Upperclassmenl You are not speaking of the Freshmen of '27; you are speaking of yourselves when you were Freshmen. xVhen we first entered VVithrow we looked upon it in awe and wonder, hoping that we too, might someday, be a part of that great institution. We have gone through the mill, for we have been laughed at, jeered at, and teased until we are about ready to end it all, but who has won that battle? The Freshmen! We used to hurry through the corridors with our proud heads hung low with fear that some older student might shout, Olll You Freshiel But, those days are gone liurevelz We wondered then how the other students ever got to their Classes. They never had to hurrv; they never ot tllClI' room numbers and eriods ITNXCCl u ; the 7 never lost . . ,t g , p p 3 their programs either, but we. see it all now, learned classmen.

Today a dumb freshie addresses a learned senior as, H8151, or iVlatlame. but tomorrow ours will be the pleasure of the ttSirs, or Mesdames. Wle in time will grow in stature, our minds will be broadened, and you will see that we. will be able to till the large gap left by the graduating Classes most perfectly. Wle will strive hard to carry on the school's activities, and overcome its problems as well or even better than you have in the past. We will do our best to make Witlirow a bigger and better schooli Yes, step aside, VVithrow-upperclassmen. Make way! We are coming, live hundred strong, draped in our flying green colors.

Here, under the leadership of William Maxweli, second postmaster in Cincinnati, the first number of The Sentinel of the North-Western Territory was printed. The motto of this paper was Open to all parties, but influenced by none. In the summer of 1796 Ma xwell sold his paper to Edmund Freeman who Changed the name of the paper to Freeman 5 Inurnal.U The contents of this paper are of curious interest to us who are accustomed to have the news of the whole world served to us daily. The foreign intelligence, chiefly from France, was many months old. There was some correspondence from the east about American conditions. A few items con- cerned Cincinnati. A striking part of the paper were the advertisements-such as rewards for deserters from the army, notices of runaway wives whose debts husbands declared they were not responsibIe for, and notices of runaway s1aves. There were frequent news items concerning Indians and their doings. In 1799 the first issue of the Western Spy and The Hamilton Gazette was printed. Its editor was Joseph Carpenter who came from Massachusetts to Cincinnati. The news service had begun to improve by this time. News from France was served up only two months and a ha1t 01131111me New York it was aged about twenty days and from Washington about a wee o . From about 1800 on there were a great many newspapers and magazines in Cin- cinnati. 111 1804 there was issued the Liberty Hall and' Cincinnati Mercury by the Reverend John W. Browne. In the year 1826 there were nine newspapers in this city. In 1833 the Western Month1y Magazine was founded by Judge James Ha11. 'The Western Christian Advocate? founded in 1834, was edited by Reverend T. A. Morris. This paper is one of the strongest of the religious journals of the country, pub- lished by the Methodist Book Concern. E11 Taylor, for six years, beginning in 1836, edited the Family Magazine. The Chronicle appeared daily in 1839 with Benjamin Drake and Edward Mansfield as its Chief writers. The direct ancestor of the present Times-StarU was published in 1840 under the name of the Spirit of the Times. Its name, however,1ater was changed to the Daily Times. The publishing and selling of books began very early in the history of Cincinnati. Lexington, Kentucky, was in 9advance of this community with a printing press and a newspaper But 1n the matter of puinshing books Cincinnati was probab1y ahead 01 Kentucky and was certainly in advance of all other places in the Northwest Territory. Cincinnati was the main source of supply of books for Michigan, Western Pennsyl- vania, Virginia, and a considerable part of the south. In February, 1903, the Robert Clarke Company, important publishers, lost its entire plant in the disastrous Pike Opera House fire, but at once began reprinting their numerous publications. which consisted mostly of historical works and law books This company was the first to import books to any considerable extent from Europe to the Ohio Va11ey. The Methodist Book Concern, with headquarters in Cincinnati, is a very successful publishing plant and has also 1n Cincinnati one of the City s best book stores. Other important publishers of today are the Standard Puhhshing Co., the Scuddet Brothers Co., the John Church Co., the Aldine Co., the Hendersona Lithographing Co., the Gibson Art Co., and the Western Magazine Publishing Co. After having traced the publications of long ago up to the present time, we may now turn to the important newspapers of this day and age. The four most important newspapers of this day are the Times- Star, the Post, the 'Commercial Tribu-ne, , and the Enquirer. The plant of the HTimes- Star, J an eveningr paper of large circu- lation is situated on the northeast corner of Sixth and Walnut Streets. 1t has for its leader Charles P.Taft,brothe1' 01 W. H. Taft, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court The Post, founded in 1880, is one of a number of Scripps- McRae papers pub1ished in several large cities of the country The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, was founded 111 1843 by Mr. Curtis and Mr Hastings In 1902 a large building on the east side of Walnut Street between Fifth and Sixth Streets was especially constructed 80 for the use of The Commercial Tribune. The publishing of the paper is now done on Pioneer Street near Broadway. The Enquirer is descended from the Phoenix Company which had been founded by the famous Moses Dawson. It is democratic in politics, purveys news on a large scale, and is said to have had a wider circulation than any other paper published outside of New York City. 1A new building is now being built on Vine Street between Sixth and Seventh Streets. This structure, with all its modern equipment, when completed will be a. marvelous improvement for the Enquirer and also the city of Cincinnati. We have considered all the other newspapers, but have not as yet thought of our own Withrow Tower News? It costs only five cents, is issued every two weeks, and accepts articles from all pupils, Have you ever stopped to e;timate the number of advantages this paper offers us':J If you have, you have found them a. large number, I am sure. It gives us all news concerning the school and its various activities. It offers us fine art and humor. It supplies us with knowledge of the alumni and their doings. It furnishes interesting and inspiring editorials and also information as to Whots Who at Withrow. It informs us in regard to other schools and their various activities. It affords us help in our studies. By the latter is meant the help given us by the inspiring,r and stimulating editorials in the Tower Newse Therefore we think we have ample reason to be proud of our Tower News as well as of the other publications of our City of Cincinnati.

The editors-a boy and a girlgand a business manager are selected .3 by the entire class from a list of candidates nominated by petition, each petition having the signatures of at least twenty-five members of the Classt Two faculty ad- visers, appointed by the principal, supervise the preparation of the material for the Annual. The addition members of the Annual Staff are appointed to their positions by the editors and the faculty advisers. It is the ambition of each Annual Staff to produce an Annual entirely unlike any one that has preceded it. and yet maintain or raise the high standards that the earlier Annuals have set. With this idea always in mind, the staff of the nineteen twenty- seven Annual began its task. We had only to begin our work to realize that a difficult task confronted us. Not all our ideas were original, and many that were original Were not suitable. The per- sistent efforts on the part of the whole staff finally won out, and our City, Cincinnati, was Chosen for the theme of this book. After the theme was selected the literary and art features Claimed the most promi- nent places in the field of attention. In order to create a greater interest in these de- partments of the Annual and to .make it really a work of the senior Class, a new plan of contributions was adopted. Instead of appointing one person to write on a given topic, such as Education in Cincinnati,n the Staff submitted all topics open for competition. The teachers in the department of English gave valuable assistance in selecting from all those compositions submitted, those which they considered the most suitable for their positions in the Annual. With the theme of the Annual. nCincinnati, it was only appropriate that we dedi- cate. the book to one who has done so much for our City in the past year and a halte- Colonel Sherrill. He very kindly gave us permission to tio s0 and as a result his photo- graph and his greeting appear in the front of this book. After much hard work on the part of the staff and especiaily the part of Mr. Fieger, to whom must go most of the credit for the production of this book, this nineteen twenty- seven Annual was produced in which Cincinnati reigns supreme from cover to cover.

The paper has shown much better financial returns than formerly and we feel this has been due to the CO-operation 0f the students and faculty. The many contributions have been of much benefit to the staff. Tower News wishes to take this opportunity to thank the members of the staff for their unselfish work and unswerving loyalty to the paper throughout the year. Much praise and gratitude is due to Miss Stoehr for the fine and sympathetic way in which she has guided the policies of the paper.

In 1821, the Apprentices Library was formed. The two were consolidated in 1857. They had no funds except from donations and fines and no fixed 10cati0n until 1852, when the books were placed in the Ohio Mechanics Institute at Sixth and Vine. In 1855, the Ohio School Library was opened. In 1856, it was merged with other collections. A tax was not levied regularly until 1867, when the name Public Library of Cincinnati was adopted. In 1870, the library was moved to its present building on Vine between Sixth and Seventh. The library was controlled by the Board of Education until 1898, when, by a new law, the library was made free to all residents Of Hamilton County. The library trustees were given full control. The main library contains what is probab1y the most valuable C011ection of books in any public library west of the AlIeghenies. In the Art Rooms are books on art, architecture, costumes, pictures, stereoscopic views, and musical scores; in the Useful Arts Room, scientific books and magazines, especially those on electricity, chemistry, and 311 kinds of manufacture; in the Study Room, encyclopedias, atlases, law books, and many reference books in which can he found answers to questions on a great variety of subjects; in the Civics Room, books and clippings on social topics; in the Children's Room are to be found the best books for boys and girls of all ages; good stories and books to help with school work, home duties, and sports. An adjoining room is for teachers, where there are mode1 collections of books for dassroom libraries and the courses of study used in schools of the principal cities of the United States. The Public Library serves not only the City but .111 Hamilton County through its main library and its system of branches, deposit stations, schooi, traveling, home, and playground libraries. The main building is located so Close to the heart of the City that it is used by busy people during the lunch hour. Nine branch libraries are housed in separate buildings large enough to indude auditoriums and smal-Ier club rooms. Thirteen smaller branches are located in rented store rooms and in school houses. All have permanent book collections supplemented by a delivery service from the main library and a system of loans which keeps the sma11er 1ibraries up-to-date and masses books on one subject where they are most needed. The principal Work of the Public Library of Cincinnati is reference work. Manu- facturers, lawyers, Chemists, clergymen, teachers, members of debating Clubs, and women,s clubs are all he1ped. The aid given the loca1 industries through the files of technical books and magazines, perhaps alone, repays the total cost of the library. The Library is giving instructions to teachers and pupils so that they may have some glimpse into the organization of a modern library and so be able to help them- selves. The library further conducts an apprentice class for training young people to become librarians. Free lecture courses are given periodicaHy on popular subjects for adults, some of them on foreign languages. Cincinnati possesses a Law Library which is one of the few great law libraries of the Country. The Public Library contains 500,000 books. It has 125 newspapers and 800 maga- zines on file; it contains the latest directories of forty American cities and of London, Paris, and Berhn. It circulates sheet music, music rolls, stereopticon pictures, and 20,000 lantern slides. Its supply of books in raised type for the blind circulates in every State in the Union. 87 WORMSER LIBRARY AT U, C. The University of Cincinnati Library contains many wonderful books and is in- creasing its library staff with a number of librarg7 specialists. The books are scattered in a number of different buildings and due to the failure of the Bond Issue, the University will have to wait some time before it gets a new library building large enough to hold its wonderful collection. Hebrew Union College Library contains a rare collection of Jewish and Hebrew History and Art Books. The library building is very beautiful, St. Xavier College has recently built a new addition to their library building which is noted for its beauty and the fine collection of books and other materials it houses. The Withrow Library is as beautiful as any school library in the United States. The room itself is beautiful and the furniture and'the equipment, the best that can be obtained, are in harmony with the room. The school library should occupy the same place in the life of the school that the public library assumes in the life of the community. The relation betweEn the Withrow school library and its users is even closer than is the case with the public library. Its and reference work, and to stimulate and encourage the love of good literature. There are nearly five thousand books and two hundred pamphlets, so arranged that a par- ticular book or short story is easy to find. The library also subscribes to forty maga- zines covering a variety of subjects. Pictures, post cards, lantern slides, and victrola records to illustrate and make more enjoyable the Classroom work are also kept in the library. The library is common ground. It is for the use and enjoyment of all the pupils and teachers of Withrow High School. The registered attendance in our library for the year 1926 was 68,731, not including the people using it before and after school. The books in circulation in 1926 were 10,845. The illustrative material, including pictures, records, and lantern slides in circulation was 1,216. Miss Pooley, our librarian, also gives instruction in the use of the library to all the grades. HELEN ADAMS, '27. 88 Music USIC has played a very important part in the lite of Cincinnati ever since its settlement on the banks of the Ohio River. It Was only twelve years after the founding of the village Losantiville, that Mr. McLean, the Vi11age butcher, public of1icer and singing maste1, announced that he would Conduct a singing school by sub- scription at a dollar a. member for thirteen nights, or two dollars a quarter-e subscribers to find their own wood and cand1es. Proposals were displayed 1n Liberty H2111 in 1815 for publication of a new collection of music caHed HThe Western Harmonist, by John McCormick. In this the author stated that he would be able to give the most useful tunes and hymns for various societies. At this time a very small band existed which could p1ay America and similar com- positions. In 1819, the vi11age became a City. It was in this same year that the Episcopal Singing Society was begun. The Haydn Society, whose members included the best singers of various dubs, was another important musical organization. In 1812., three musica1 groups combined to give a concert, at which was sung for the first time in Cin- cinnati the famous Ha11e1ujah Chorus from the Messiah. In 1825 the first symphony orchestra was formed under the direction of Ioseph T0550, a famous violinist of this vicinity. The Eclectic Academy of Blusic, established in 1854, brought Cincinnati into prominence as a cultural center, In this Academy both a Chorus and orchestra were maintained. Charles Aiken organized a Choral Class for adults in 1842 at the 01d Sixth Presbyterian Church. The f1rst Saengerfest of America was held in Cincinnati in 1849. When the Saenger- fest of 1867 met, a hall had to be buiit to accommodate two thousand vocalists and instrumentalists, besides the large audience. The present Cincinnati May Festival is the outgrowth of this great festival of song. The first May Festival was held in 1875, and the success of this one, and that of the one following in 1875 suggested the need of a music hall in Cincinnati. 111 a few years a ha11 was bui1t at Elm near Twelfth, With a seating capacity of five thousand. Grove 5 Dictionary. of Music and Musicians, the standard English and American authority, says concerning the May Festivals: t The most notable of the regular re- currlng musica1 meetings in the United states are those held biennia11y 111 Cincinnati, Ohio They have beyond question, exerted a more powerful influence for musical culture than any other institution of their kind. The purpose of the Cincinnati Musical Festival Association is the production of the great Choral masterpieces of the w01'1c1,s music under the most favorable auspices, with accessories suitab1e to their dignity and importance. With this high standard in view, this group has tried to improve the quality of the basis of the festivaISethe Chorus, and has emp10yed the best soloists and orchestras avaiIable. In recent years from three hundred to a thousand school children have taken part. From the Conservatory of Music, started by Clara Bauer 1m 1867, and from the Co11ege of Music, founded 111 1878 by a group of prominent citizens, come influences which have helped to form and sustain the musical organizations in Cincinnati. In 1872 the Symphony Orchestra was estabhshed through pub1ic subscriptions. and was called the Phj1harmonic Orchestra. Concerts given by this and other musical societies aroused a desire for a permanent Cincinnati Orchestra. At length a plan was drawn up, and as a result the Cincinnati Orchestra Association Company was formed in 1894, with Mrs. William H. Taft as President of the Board, composed of fifteen women. An appeal for financial aid brought enough money to make a modest beginning. Over fifty men piayed in the first season of the Cincinnati Orchestra at Pikes Opera House, 111 1894. From 1894, the year Pike 5 Opera House burned, until 1911, the concerts were given at Music Hall, but 111 1911 Emery Auditorium was completed, and since then the orchestra has giVen its concerts there Since 1911 the development of music in Cincinnati has been remarkab1e; and now almost every suburb has a Music Club, and many have choral Clubs, too. 111 many industrial concerns choruses have been formed of employees, and these give excellent performances when they appear in public. One of the latest musica1 societies to be 90 formed is the Mothersingers, a group of a hundred and fifty mothers, chosen from the various Mothers Clubs in the city. Other very noteworthy Clubs are the Orpheus Club, composed of male voices; the Bach Society; and the McDowell Society. Last Christmas, a very unusual performance was given in Cincinnati when Frank Van der Stucken directed a thousand v01ces 1n carol smgmg at Fountain Square. Each year citizens of this city have the opportunity to see the operas put on by the Chicago Opera Company, and in the warm months to hear light opera at the Zoo. Two prominent musicians of this city, Ralph Lyford and Frank Van der Stucken, have written operas of marvelous worth. In the schools, music has progressed rapidly from the very first. Now most of the schools Claim their own orchestras and vocal societies. Music in Withrow High School is especially important. Besides two glee clubs, a mixed Chorus, and the hand, two orchestras are notable. Under the direction of Mr. Surdo, the school has reached heights in music heretofore unthought of, and is reaching, ever reaching, to the goal of its am- bitions-which is a clearer understanding of the higher type of music, JEAN TAYLOR HANDY, '27. Girls Select Chorus HE Girls Special Group, composed of about thirty members, meeting every Wed- nesday afternoon after the Girls Glee Club rehearsal, is an organization which un- doubtedly brings credit to Withrow High School. These girls, directed by Mr. Surdo, seek the musical culture to be gained through the study of the very best vocal music. This year they rendered April, Noontimef and The Sea Hath Its Pearls. This group has proved that it is quality, not quantity, and hard earnest work, not mere luck, that produces the most perfect Singing. Its work has surely given a decided charm to the annual concerts. 91 92 SPECIAL CHORUS Special Chorus fW VERY Wednesday morning before school, two hundred and twenty boys and girls. JEZ under the leadership of 3112 Surdo, Come together to form the Special Mixed h Chorus. Because of its large personnel, this group does some very effective and excellent work. In conjunction with the full orchestra and organ, the result of the efforts of these students is indeed truly inspiring. The selections, Chosen by the organi- zation, such as Beethoven's Hallelujah Chorus. the vocal arrangement of the ttMoon- light Sonata, or Hawthornets nTale 0f the Bell, are surely worthy stepping stones to the highest ideals of choral singing, which the body is striving to maintain. The Senior Orchestra HE Senior Orchestra Of Withmw High Schoolis ending the eighth, and perhaps 'the most successful year of its existence. Forty members practice each Tuesday 3 and Thursday afternoon under AWL Surdds baton, and spend many other hours masterng a difficult composition or polishing up some passage. But in return they receive invaluable training in music, and in appreciation of the value of co-ordination with the director, which is so necessary to produce a finished composition. All of the the selections are beautiful, but Goldmark's Im Garten, from his Rural erdding Symphony, is of unusual brilliance and harmony. The Junior Orchestra LTHOUGH it practically remains in the background, the Iunior Orchestra is really as important as its better known sister organization, the Senior Orchestra. When one first joins the orchestra, unless he has unusual ability, and has rare skill, he is made a member of the Junior organization Here, under the direction of Mr. Surdo, he receives the fundamental training so necessary for orchestral work. Every person should nhitch his wagon to a star? and the Junior Orchestra has done this, for the ambition of each and every member is to receive promotion to the Senior Orchestra. By playing two numbers with the Senior Orchestra at each Annual Concert, the Junior Orchestra shows the work which, after months of practice, it has accomplished. .Sgb 2255? 4: 55:? ,5 5:1 292:3 LI EZQED mimziqz zECESz. 535m :zifxi mhmu 2 E 3500 xx zciciim m. z: zzrzuEzEy Cw E z; ZOEwDUZmE Zamzxczm mszsrsim E5355 ESE y.

Early last fall, twenty-two honorary letters were presenteri, ten for two years of faithful service and twelve for one year, Mr. Horton and his enthusiastic black and orange cohort were a familiar sight on the gridiron. Their inspiring music cheered the team whether winning or losing. Due to Mr. Hortorfs untiring efforts, several new instruments were purchased this year for Withrow, which were greatly appreciated by the students and friends of the School, who are also deeply indebted to Mr. Horton, under whose echient and capable leadership the band has progressed through the years. 95 The Boys Glee Club ACH Monday afternoon, if one happens to be in the vicinity of the music room, he hears a soft hum or a merry burst of song Within, the Boys Glee Club, under the Careful and conscientious training of our Mr. Surdo, is preparing for the Annual Concert. This organization, with its clever songs, adds a touch of humor to the well-balanced program given at the end of each school year. However, it is capable of undertaking the heavier numbers assigned to it. Two of the heavier, more dramatic numbers it has given are Excelsior, by Balfe, and Americans Come, by Foster. BALDWIN PIANO CO. Girls Glee Club HE Girls Glee Club has the reputation of being one of the finest organizations in Withrow High School. About seventy girls meet every Wednesday after school in the music room, and under the leading of Mr. Surdo, study some unusually charming compositions. At Christmas time t'The Legend, by Tschaikowsky, was very beautifully sung, in addition to other Christmas songs. Another very fme selection is The Mother Goose Arabesque. To Mr. Surdo must be given the credit for the excellent performances of the Girls Glee Club at the Annual Concert, for he strives for great clarity of tone, and that quality of expression which makes music divine.

Chamber Music HE first Chamber qusiC Classes in the Cincinnati Public Schools were organized in 1923 by Pauline Crumb Smith. At that time it was regarded as an outstanding experiment in the teaching of Public School Music. Withrow High School was among the first to take up this new line of activity, and it is the only school in Cincinnati in which this work has developed uninterruptedly during the four years subsequent to its inception. A great many students have been enrolled for this activity and their enthusiasm has contributed materially t0 the great success of the venture Using only such instruments as violins, Violas, cellos, and pianos, a wide variety of combinations has been achieved, and during the past year the school has had its quin- tettes, quartettes, trios and duets. The tremendous value of this departmental procedure lies in the singularity of the training which it affords the aspiring student. The string quartette represents a very high type of musical accomplishment, and ensemble playing such as it requires is a field in which it is not always easy to obtain experience. It demands group execution, in the same way that orchestral work does. but places a greater emphasis upon individual performance. Each player is alone responsible for every note of his part, and not only must it be perfect in itself, but must also balance properly with the other parts. Cham- ber IVIusic is a complete ensemble, but in miniature. In it, there is nothing lacking, nor is there anything superfluous. For that reason it is accorded a peculiar dignity among musicians, and is often called the highest form of instrumental music. lVIoreover, the literature of these combinations is the work of the greatest of our composers, and many of them have left some of their finest and loveliest efforts to the library of quartettes and quintettes. If only as a venture in acquaintanceship with great composers, the classes could abundantly justify themselves. It is for this reason that Withrow High School has fostered the Chamber Music work. The result has been a steady growth among the students in interest and appre- ciation for what has been done. The real enthusiasts for Chamber Music are the pupils who have been producing it! 98 . r ,- u- ; ' - f1 . .::':.-:-.- . . luluhnm Blnck Iv I III. .-: ,l' ,1 Art In Cincinnati KRTewhat a multitude of different subjects that one little word embraces! All ,y the numerous branches of art, Sculpture, Painting, Etching, Music, Wood Carv- l ing, and every activity that leads to a broader and richer education, are well represented in this most old-worlcl City in the Middle West. However, we will discuss here only those arts of painting and sculpture, and the Cincinnati artists who were most proficient in them. Situated high on a hill in Eden Park, the old rugged weathered Art Museum, the symbol of art in Cincinnati, smiles lazily over the sunny valley of the beautiful Ohio River. Built of native limestone, in a style of architecture which no modern architect would select in planning,r a home for the Fine Arts, it somehow is in keeping with the restful atmosphere created within the. building. The Museum visitor feels an inexpress- ible gladness in finding that it is not an imposing and Classic structure. But to return to our artists. Undoubtedly Cincinnati has contributed more men of genius to American Art than anv other city in the countrv. This is especially true of the t golden period oi Cincinnati art ethe years of 1870 to 1890. Up to the time of 1870 such men as Henry Mosler, Sontag, Hiram Powers, Moses Ezekiel, and A. H. Wyant were the most prominent of artists. A. H. Wyant was one of the most famous landscape painters of his time, although he is very little known to the general public. Unfortunately only one of his works is in our Art Museum. Most renowned of those artists born in 01' near Cincinnati in the last half of the nineteenth century was Frank Duveneck. During his lifetime he was an inspiration to all artists, and his works still remain to inspire the young artists of today. He was born in Covington in the year 1849. Early in life he showed that remark- able talent which in later years made him so famous. When he was eighteen years old he was sent by the Catholic Church of Covington to Munich to study art. After several years of study he established a school at Munich. 80 many'pupils came to him for in- struction that he seriously interferred with the government school. Not wishing to do this he moved his school to Florence, Italy. Then followed glorious years of teaching in Florence and Venice where, by the success of his pupils, his name became more famous. When Sargent was admitted to the Royal Academy in London his toast was: t'Gentlemen, here's to the health of Frank Duveneck, the greatest of us all. Later he said that Duveneck was the most talented artist of the century. After travelling for some time in Europe, Mr. Duveneck returned to Cincinnati to devote his time to painting and teaching here. The Art Academy was enriched by these years spent in teaching here, for he might have spent his time in painting for his own benefit, pictures that would have commanded any price that he might have set upon them. Duveneck did not forget the great general public before he laid down his brush forever. The last works he made, those beautiful mural paintings in St. Marys Cath- edral in Covington, were completed just before his death. People come from all over this nation to view those paintings in which his art will live forever. There is one side to Duveneck which biographers have failed to picture. That is Duv eneck the Unselfish. Often, on seeing the need of some poor asp11'1ng young artist for travel 01: extended study, that could not be- afforded, he would so manoeuver it that the trip was taken without the students knowing that the money for the purpose Came from Duveneclfs always generous pockets. Although Duveneck 15 gone his presence lives on at the Art Museum and Art Academy. Plans are already under way that will lead some daV to the Duveneck Foundation. The public will always show its appreciation of Duxweneck the man and the artist. Among the pupils of Duv eneck, who live or did live in Cincinnati, Iohn Twachtman was preeminent as a landscape paintel1'.At an art exhibit in New York critics pro- nounced him the equal, if not the superior, of Manet, and Monet, the great French land- scape artists. Only three or four of his works hang 1n the Art Museum. 100 L. H. Meakin is known for his beautiful landscapes. About twenty years ago when Mr. John Twachtman was invited to deliver a speech on American Art in Chicago, he refused to deliver his talk because the audience was not interested in American art. The audience protested that they were, but he would not change his plans because he said You have not an American picture in your Art Museum. This was a bomb in the camp. But out of it came a society of lovers of American art. The first picture by an American painter to hang in the Chicago Art Institute was one by Mr. Meakin. I. Hi Sharp, while born at Ironton, Ohio, has spent a great part of his life in Cin- cinnati. He paints the American Indian as no other artist can. He was given a com- mission by Leland Stanford University to paint the Indians with historical correctness and he was successful at it, thus preserving the story of the life of these interesting people. Twelve of his Indian heads hang in the Smithsonian Institute at Washington. One of his finest, most colorful pieces hangs in a corridor of our school. In the art of sculpture, Mr. Clement I. Barnhorn is perhaps our best known repre- sentative. He was one of Duveneclis closest friends. They often worked together in Mr. Barnhorn,s studio, and travelled together on this continent and in Europe. T0- gether they worked on the statue of Emerson, and on the memorial to Mrs. Duveneck, the original of which is in Florence, where she is buried. Mr. Barnhorn recently finished a memorial to Mr. Duveneck. This has been placed in the Mother of God Cemetery in Covington, and its beauty and simplicity has attracted nation-wide attention. In the general waiting room of the Court House may be seen a series of murals in which he depicts the early history and growth of Cincinnati. Several years ago he placed in Hughes High School one of the finest memorials erected since the war. Every person who claims Cincinnati as his home is familiar with the work of Nlr. Barnhorn. Withrow, Cincinnati's newest high school, stands for beauty as well as utility. Situated at the end of Erie Avenue, in a setting of unusual beauty, the exquisite sim- plicity both within and without the building cannot fail to impress the beholder. Within the school art is given much attention. In our well-equipped art depart- ment, under the direction of competent instructors, students are taught the rudiments of design and color. An Art League, organized several years ago, which all pupils are requested to join, does much to promote a more general interest in the beauties of fine pictures. The lovely mural paintings, painted by Louis Endres, a Cincinnati artist, that decorate the walls of the lunch room were made possible by the Art League. The pictures hanging in the teachers' lunch room, and the Indian picture painted by Sharp that has already been mentioned, all have been purchased that the students here may see and enjoy the work of Cincinnati artists. Commerce and inventions are important, so also are love and beauty. The powers that turn the wheels of industry, the occupations of every day life cannot inspire one as can the clouds high in the sky. It was Emerson who said, ltOne ray of beauty out- values all the utilities of the world? ELIZABETH PEOPLES, 127.

The club In co-operation with the Dancing Club and other students, presented Sherwood in the afternoon and evening of April let and 22nd. The proceeds were divided between the Dramatic Club, the Tennis Court Fund and the Hockey Field Fund.

Sherwood The entire production was truly a XVithrow product. The cast was. selected from the entire school; members of all classes were well repre- gentcd not only in the minor parts hut in the leading parts as weH. The.sf.age settings were designed by members of the Art Department. The Industrial Arts Department aided materially not only in the making of swords, bows and arrows, but in the making of the frames over which the cloth was spread. The Art Depart- ment then carefully pahlted the forest and worked out the other details of the stage settings. The Hougehold Arts Department made the coc- tumes, which the Art Department designed. Three hundred and titty yards of material were cut. Incidental music in the play as well as the music played during the intermissions was the work of the Music Department. Through the spiendid cn-nperation of the many departments in the school, the perform- ances of Sherwood were a success for Withmw. ED.

The Dancing Club HE Dancing Club was founded, and has continued to exist, through the earnest efforts of those students who have found in the art of Terpischore a means of self-expressiont Under the able guidance of Miss Taylor, aided by Martha Strauss, pianist, the girls are taught to acquire natural grace and rhythm rather than a, knowledge of definite ballet steps. Free rein is given to their imaginations, talents, and creative instincts. The schooYs enthusiastic reception of the Cluh,s annual pro- gram, in which most of the dances and costumes are the girls' own creations, testifles . definitely t0 the success of such a course. The Dancing Club prides itself on these yearly programs, for the same feature is never offered twice and the audience is always assured of an interesting variety in the dances. Let us hope that in the future the members will continue to derive as much benefit and pleasure from the Dancing Club as they have heretofore. The officers for the year are: HELEN MARIE FLOER, Pruz'dent; IRMA SMITHTON. Secretary; MARGARET FOWLER, Treamurer; MISS TAYLOR, Faculty Adm-er. Camera Club HE Camera Club has completed its most successful year. The club was organized by Mm. Jenkins in 1922, for the purpose of teaching those interested in photog- raphy the art of taking good pictures and developing and printing them. The Club has grown rapidly and is now one of the most popular at Withrow. The club has enjoyed an unusually interesting and unique program this year, which included several field trips to local photographers and a visit to the Camera Club of Cincinnati. The dark room, one of the club,s projects which was started last year, has been completed. This has enabled the members to obtain much valuable experience which heretofore they had no opportunity of gaining.

It is these clubs which promote the welfare of the city in every way, for they lead to opportunity, sincerity, personal integrity, high principle, social service, and justice. One of the best known Clubs of Cincinnati is the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce. This club has accomplished much in raising the social and industrial standing of Cincin- nati. It unifies the public spirit of the city and breaks down sectional selfishness. It helps create and express sound opinions on questions affecting the welfare of the city. It links the City with others in great business and patriotic movements. It is the great central business clearing house for Cincinnati and accepts as its duty the careful watching of Cincinnatits position in competition with other cities. In such ways and many others, the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce makes itself a decidedly beneficial organization. The Cincinnati Club, formerly known as the Business Menfs Club, is among the most stimulating forces in the business and social life of the city. It combines all the conveniences and luxuries that enter into metropolitan club life with a definite pro- gram for the promotion of Civic welfare and industrial progress. Another club which is an honor and support to Cincinnati is the Rotary Club. The Rotary motto is condensed in one word, Service. Recognizing the commercial basis of modern life as a necessary incident in human evolution, the Rotary Club is organized to express that proper relation between private interests and the fusion of private interests which constitutes society. The basis of the club membership insures the representation of all interests and the domination of none in the consideration of public questions relating to business. It demamis fair dealing, honest methods, and high standards in business. Its belief is that Service is the basis of all business. Kiwanis is a composite group of business, professional, and agricultural men devoted to the rendition of service to the respective communities in which the clubs are located. It is a mosaic not only of business life, but also of varied social and economic points of view. One of the real contributions that Kiwanis makes is the inculcation in each mem- ber of a fine sense of perspective, a keen appreciation of fundamental life values, and a working knowledge of the relation of the forces of the spirit to business achievement. Building with these spiritual forces, Kiwanis is truly a conscious driving force toward newer and better and higher ideals. As these clubs have been developed, so there have Ioeen clubs organized in Withrow High School. There are clubs for the scholar of literature, of mathematics, of languages, of law, of science. There are clubs for the inventor and experimenter; clubs for those dramatically 0r musically inclined. and also for those who seek pleasure and friendship. Each of these Clubs develop in some way their members. They bring out hidden talents, eliminate selfwconsciousness and encourage poise, increase the appreciation of the higher forms of knowledge, and broaden the individual's view-point. But above all they help to tit the student for future lifeelife when they will carry on the work of their elders. Thus the purpose of the clubs and organizations of Withrow High School is to develop in each one the ability and initiative to strive 0n, and to broaden their Shoulders, figura- tively. so that may not sag, but bear proudly the burden of life. VIRGINIA MORSE, ,27 The Bank HE XVithrow High School Savings Bank started on its third year in February. The past year has been more successful than the preceding years; there are many depositors and the deposits are much greater. The Savings Bank affords a wonderful opportunity for the pupils, giving them enc agement in forming the habit of saving early in life. Three mornings of each week the bank is open to receive any amount the pupils and teachers may care to deposit. 106 1 awnin- THE BANK HOME ROOM PRESIDENTS 107 VI RGILIAL YI EADAE AFN 103 Spanish Club HE Withrow Spanish Club is organized for the purpose of enjoying and im roving our Spanish.

Virgiliani La tin Club HE Virgiliani Latin Club of 1926-27 was organized by students of Miss Donnelly's Virgil Class, under her supervision. The meetings, at which very interesting programs are given, occur once a month in Room 122 during a regular recitation period. The Club sings songs in Latin and some- times ndulges in the playing of Latin card games dealing with Latin declensions and conjugations. We prepared and instructive papers are read by members. Amusing plays in Latin are occasionally presented. The officers for the year are: GLADYS VVIDMAN, Premidem'; IEANETTE CLARK. Secrefary; Miss DON- NELLY, Faculty Aduwer. . Aeneadae NEADAE is a. society organized by the students of fourth year Latin under the supervision of Miss Darin. The purpose of the Club is to increase the enjoyment of the Classics through a. wider knowledge gained in their meetings. The students enjoy the programs very much and the meetings are eagerly looked forward f0. 109 N EUCLH EA N GOREA PYTHA 110 The French Club HE purpose of the French Club is to enable the members to speak and understand French. The meetings and programs are carried on in French. The members are pupils who have had more than one year of French.

The Euclidean Mathematics Club HE Euclidean Mathematics Club, composed of students studying advanced algebra and trigo- nometry, meets on the last Friday of each month during the regular class period. Its purpose is to create a deeper interest in higher mathematics. At each meeting an interesting program is g en by the members consisting of talks on the lives and discoveries of great mathematicians, various mathematical puzzles and similar subjects.

The hardy garden, the wild flower garden in the ravine, and the window boxes at the end of the corridors are some of its achieve- ments. Money for the maintenance of these gardens is provided by the sale of flowers and bulbs annually. This year the club sold hand-made Indian baskets.

The Club has handled numerous radio- grams for students and teachers of the school over the traffic routes of the American Radio Relay- League. The Girl Scouts E Girl Scouts this year adopted an out-door program as a means of furthering both health and nature work. The program has provided plenty of fun and recreation, as well as a real oppor- tunity to study nature. The Scouts gave a Valentine party, took a number of interesting hikes, and took part in the annual Girl Scout rally. During this year Miss Ruth Schneider served as Captain, Katherine Kouschuetzky as Scribe, and Lucilie Smith as Treasurer. 117 NIS CLUB TEN STAFF UNCH ROOM L l Philologia Literary Society HE Philologia Literary Societv is acknowledged as the leading boys! society in hVithrow.

A The Lunch Room Staff 0 a stranger following a class through the work of a day, the lunchroom would probably present the most interesting spectacle. The food. which is pre ared by Miss Townsley and her corps of assistants, is largely handled by student help under t e management of Mn Mathias. Even fhe cash registers are handled by students. In a little over an hour sixteen hundred pupils are fed as a result of the skill and speed of the lunch room staff. - 119 120 25114 Sports NCINNATI not only offers great oppmtunities in music, art and ediication, but also provides for extensive athletic advantages. Many sports, in the form of athletics, take place 1n the parks and m the playgrounds of Cincinnati. Most of these athletics prevail 1n the summer time. 011 hot, sultry days the swimming pools are crowded with Children. These pools are kept 1n sanitary condition by the city and offer great amusement to those who have not the opportunity of getting to private pools. Diost of the parks and nearly all of the playgrounds are equipped with swings, slides, teeter- totters, and May poles.111 using this apparatus a great deal of exertion is required, thus strengthening many little weak bodies. Boating in the parks does not only afford exercise, but also pleasure which is seldom enjoyed by the average person. The sports in the Winter are of an altogether different character. The ponds and lakes are frozen and covered with a smooth surface of ice. The skater loses no time, and after the ice is of a sutiicient thickness, he enjoys one of the greatest of winter sports, that of ice skating. People come from great distances to skate in our own Burnet Woods. The terraces and nature of the lawns in these parks, encourage skiing and sled riding. All these sports that I have thus far mentioned, enable one to get plenty of fresh air and sunshine, which are the first essentials of good health. There are a great number of athletic fields throughout the city Redland Field is probably one of the largest in Cincinnati. The Cincinnati Grounds rank second in size and are equipped with tennis courts, ball diamonds and a running track. These two main fields, along with the smaller fields, aid Cincinnati greatly in giving athletic advan- tages to her citizens. Recently athletics has become a community project. There are several organiza- tions which look after the indoor athletics of the community. The Y. M. C. A. and the Fenwick Club and other church gymnasiums and swimming pools offer advantages for those seeking them. These same organizations along with the Boy and Girl Scouts also offer advantages, especially during the summer months. The Y. M. C. A. has a summer camp 011 the Miami River, which is planned for the pleasure of everyone of its members. Athletics at Withrow must by no means be forgotten. Withrow has a well equipped gymnasium which the student may use. The community also has access to this gym- nasium through night Classes. As muCh may be said of the swimming pool. The athletic field with its ball diamond, football field and tennis courts, is surrounded by a quarter of a mile Cinder running track. This field is kept in perfect order and affords much pleasure to the student. Thus Cincinnati, through the medium of her parks and playgrounds, her athletic fields, her community work, and athletics at Withrow, offers great athletic advantages to her citizens.

'w Football HE Tigers were not able to begin practice for the 1926 football season until the first day of school. Four letter men and two numeral men formed the nucleus of a very green team. Coaches Walke and Duning faced the great task of building a team that could hold its own against the Hughes team, which was made up of ex- perienced men. After three weeks of drill in fundamentals, the Tigers journeyed to Elder High for the first game of the season. Withrow showed promising strength here, defeating Elder 19-2. Although the Elder game had been won, Coach Walke began to strengthen the weak places in the eleven and the Tigers showed a better working machine against Hamilton, their next opponent. Withrow and Hamilton struggled on. equal terms for three quarters, in one of the hardest fought games of the season. Fumbles near Ham- ilton,s goal in the last quarter, however, proved Withrovxfs undoing. Score 15-0. Roosevelt was next, and although Withrow outplayed their opponents throughout most of the game, the Tigers were defeated 19-14. Gaining much from the defeats by Hamilton and Roosevelt, Withrow defeated Norwood 26-15 in a hard fought contest. The powerful Xenia team was next to invade the lair of the Tigers. A wet hall that caused numerous fumbles hindered the Tigers' attack. However, Withrow was the first to score. Xenia threatened in the last period but Withrowis line held and the game ended with the ball in midfield. Score 7-0. This was Xeniats first defeat in three years. The next week Withrow entered the inter-scholastic games with a well balanced team. Woodward was defeated 40-0. The game was featured by Withrowk: strong line, that held Woodward beyond midfield, and the long runs of the backfield men. Walnut Hills was set back with a 59-0 defeat. The'backfield men again performed brilliantly with long runs and fine line plunging. The great event of the season, the game between Hughes and Withrow, took place the following week. The former had a fine offensive team, but it was rumored that their supposedly weak line could not withstand the Charges of the Withrow backfield. In the first few minutes of play Hughes scored a touchdown and their try for the extra point was successful. Withrow threatened but was unable to score and the half ended 7-0. In the last half, with five minutes to play and defeat staring the Tigers in the face, Withrow launched a final drive for their goal. The backs tore through the Hughes line, gaining yard after yard, but Hughes held on the ten yarcl line. In a fake end run Clauder passed to Trechter for a touchdown, while eight thousand held their breath. Courtney kicked the goal that tied the score. A minute later the whistle blew, endingr the game. Score 7-7. Thus the season of 1926 closed, leaving the cham- pionship and the possession of the Cornell Cup still undecided.

BASKET BALL TEAM OF ROOM 107 Saplmmorc Champion; Home Room Basket Ball R the first time in the history of the school interscholastic basket ball was replaced by inter-muraI basket ball. Three leagues were formed, the freshman, sophomore, and the junior-senior leagues. The freshman league had nine teams. The strongest teams were 30-4, 303, and 302. 304 defeated 303 the championship game. Simmons and F. Reis of 304 formed a strong offensive combination that was hard to stop. Ruth and Collins were the outstanding stars for 303. 107 and 103 were the strongest teams in the sophomore grou . The championship game between 107 and 103 was the most exciting game of the season. 107 defeats 103 by a single point. Burdette Marsh captained and played a remarkable game for 107 while Blinn shone for 103. The junior-senior group held much interest for the students. 313, 217, and 311 had very good teams. and their games were very well played. 313 went through the season without a defeat. Bird 0. Marsh and Norris were their outstanding .stars. The inter-mural basket ball games gave an opportunity to the boys who would not have been able to compete in interscholastic contests and also provided a way for the students to form more and better friends. $- Wrestling HE second annual wrestling tournament washeld in the boys' gymnasium during the week of March second to ninth. Forty-seven freshmen, thlrtvv-one sophomores and thirtyrnihe juniors and seniors Participated in a hundred and four matches. The students took an unusually great interest in wrestling as shown by the number of participants and by the large attendance, 130 chi la Right: PACHAUD, Kmyumr, REIs, MAYIIAM, WOLFF.

Swimming HE swimming team of this year had some star performers but did not have enough men to gather points to defeat Hughes. hVithrow lost to Hughes in two meets and could not win the champion- ship. Only six men formed the swimming team: Captain Ballman, Brown. Marshall, Drackett, Klausmeycr, and L. Edwards. Ballman. Brown and Marshall swam in the dash events. Ballman was supreme in 50-yard and IOO-yard dash. In the fourth interscholastic meet Bellman broke the record for the lOO-yard dash free style in 1 minute 2-5 secondsi Brown and Marshail placed in the 100-yard and 200-3-ard dash respectively. Drackeit placed in every meet in the 100-yard backstroke. Nlarshall was one of the finest fancy divers in the Cincinnati high schools, winning the event in one meet and placing second in the other. Bailman was also a ggeat plunger winning the event in last meet. Brown, Drackett. Klausmeyer and L. Edwards formed one of the fastest relay teams in the high schools. Coach Duning worked hard with these men, and through his efforts they were able to place second in two of the meets. He deserved much credit and next year with promising men in the lower classes Should produce a winning combination. Track 1926-27 HE track team of 1926, through the ineligibility of some of the best athletes ever developed at VVithrow, was unable to win any of the major track meets with the exception of the indoor meet held at the Armory. After losing a dual meet with Roosevelt. of Dayton, Ohio, and winning from Hamilton and Norwood, they entered the Oxford and Triestate meets placing third and second respectively The following boys scored in major meets: Capt. B. West, I Lamb, M. Elam, W, Biondi, D. Kidd, L. Kendall, H. Callahan, W'. Renter, E. Har er, I Crone, L. Grant, I Sparling, G. Thompon, and R. Taurman. The Iunior team through its goo work brought the victory of the indoor meet to VVithrow, and in the spring junior meet, Scored 84 points to its nearest opponents Score of 28 points. 132 SENIOR TRACK TEAM, 1927 s HE season 0f1927 was begun with but three letter meniL Crone, Capt. R. Taurman, and R. Al-len. Two numeral men, hV. Harrison and H. Callahan. The indoor meet was lost to Hughes mqmly through the efforts of Rh Lee who scored 15 points for Hughes. The hrst dual mget with Hamilton u 5 won by a score 76 to 46. The second was won from Norwood 100 to 30 and the third was won from Roosevelt 76 to 55. This brings us to the major meets at Oqurd, University of Cincinnati, and the state meet at Columbus. The results of these meets will come too late for the present Annual, but by the showing made by the team so far, a successful season is predicted. COACH G. T. REUTER.

JUNIOR TRACK TEAM, 1927 133 Baseball T the first sign of spring a large squad began practising for the coming season. Although B. O. Marsh and Thie were the only men from last year, Coach Clarence Abrams had abundant material from which to choose his team. Thie, a veteran from last year, was chosen captain and proved a capable and genial leader. Thie, B. Marsh and Clauder composed a hard hitting outfield that could go far for hard hit balls. B. O. Marsh, at third, was a good hitter anct an intelligent player. W. Reis, at short, was considered one of the best players in high school haseball. F. Reis, at second, was a scrappy and fighting player. Ostendorp, at first, proved his right to cover that bag. Ehlers and Hornherger did mest of the pitching while Galloway and Bacon alternated behind the bat. Withrow started by losing to Terrace Park; Errors and inability to hit the ball was the cause of Withrow's defeat. The next week Withrow set back Woodward, the charm- pions of last year. 8-6. Woodward was unable to hit Ehlerts offerings, while W. Reis hit a home run with the bases full. Withrow then lost to Lockland 2-1 in a well played game and later defeated Walnut Hills 15-7. In a free hitting game between Norwood, Withrow won by the score 25-23. Withrowe hope for the championship was somewhat darkened by the 9-8 defeat at the hands of Hughes. What will be done in the remaining games with Walnut Hills, Woociward, Hamilton, and Hughes, can not be foretold, but it is certain that Withrow will make a creditable Showing. ths It? He jumps around- His hands go high He tears his hair In aireon ground His feet fly by In wild despair Then back and forth again, You know he is not lazy, And then he sprains a leader, A sommersault First a frown He jumps about A whirl about Then like a clown And makes us shout You never know what then; The boy must be crazy.

CAITO, SIEGMANe Field Hockey OCKEY this year for the second time was played by all four classes. Bad weather interfered some with the schedule but in spite of this the games were very ex- citingi The first game between the Juniors and Seniors was played in a driving snow. The Seniors took so long to warm up that the lively Juniors remained in the lead up to the end with the final score 1-0 in their favor. Their supremacy was unques- tioned in the remaining games but it was hard to determine the team for second place. The Sophomores won the last game of the series with the Seniors making the score a tie with both the Seniors and the Freshmen. A game lost by default elimated the Freshies and the playuoff game of the other two teams resulted in a 0-0 tie. By the mutual consent of both teams it was agreed that the side which made the first goal would be the victor. The Seniors won! According to the new point system of the G. A. A. the girls on the winning team each receive 50 points toward their school letter, the girls on the second team 25 points, those on the third 15 points, and on the fourth 10 points. The points toward the Athletic Trophy are: First place, 15; second place, 8; and third place, 5.

Swimming WIMMING came off with a big splash this year, and at the end of the three inter- class meets the seniors were undeniably the champions since they had won all three. The spirit of the contestants and the large number of footers showed how popular and keen the competition is between the Classes. Diving was always enjoyable and the good dives were heavily applauded. Helen Miller showed her superior form by winning first place for the juniors in the two meets that she was in. Dorothy Canon, sophomore, who was only a half a point behind Helen in the last meet, deserves mention since she learned to dive only this year. Life Saving, both junior and senior, was also popular. Seventy-one girls came out for the tests, This is a larger number than has ever turned outl'before.

After a series of very excellently played games, the results appeared in the same order that they had in hockey: first place, Juniors; second place, Seniors; third place, Sophomores; fourth place, Freshmen. Some girls who deserve special mention for their superior playing, sportsmanship, and dependence, are: ELINOR SMALL and EDWINA RUGH, FreJhmen; MARJORIE SNOD- GRASS, Sophomore; ELIZABETH CAITo and HELEN MILLER, Juniom; DOROTHY COLEMAN, Senior.

A., in all its branches, won this event, making an effective showing with their bright red. The Seniors Who formed a '27 in orange and biack, won second place.

The able support of the students and the capable leadership of both officers and advisers has given the athletics under it a new and better unity. The first event on the yearts program was a Hare and Hound Chase, a hike to Ault Park that pleased everyone. The Kid party, the Hallowe'en party, and the Valentine party that followed afforded an equal amount of enioyment.

FINIS 37 19 S T F A R C D N A S T R A N I E D A M The Lighter Side NCINNATI through the medium of her Zoo, parks, theaters, waterways, and Schools, furnishes amusements to citizens of all ages. The problem of entertain- ing her half million population, though difficult, has been adequately solved. Cincinnati has one of the best zoological gardens in the world. It contains the second largest collection of wild animals in the United States, Besides this, it provides up-to- date recreational facilities. There is a very large ice skating rink for use in the summer. The Zoo is aiso the home of one of the best summer opera companies in the country. h'Ierry-go-rounds, pony tracks, and other pleasures for the younger generation have recently been installed. In this way, the amusements found at the Z00 are both edu- cational and recreational. The seventy-one parks in Cincinnati, both private and public, are noted for their beauty, scenery, and playground facilities. There are two important private parkSe Coney Island and Chester Park. The trip to Coney Island, whether by boat or auto, takes in a great deal of scenery. The park itself is thoroughly up-tu-date with some of the latest thrillers. It likewise owns one of the largest swimming pools in the world, Chester Park also contains a swimming pool as weII as other up-tO-date recreational facilities. In the eyes of the older generation, the scenic parks of the Eastern Hills afford the most enjoyment. Probably the best known of these is Eden Park, situated on a hill overlooking Cincinnati and the majestic Ohio River. This park is the setting for a fine art museum and greenhouse, besides several lakes and other picturesque spots. For scenic beauty these parks are unsurpassed by any in Ohio. In the eyes of the younger generation the public parks, piaygrouuds, and swim- ming pools furnish the most enjoyment. These playgrounds 1n the metropolitan district furnish fresh air and recreation for the Children of the tenement sections They also tend to divert the activities of idle youth away from criminal affairs and tactics, Cincinnati is well supplied with theaters to furnish year-round entertainment for her movie fans. There are two burlesque theaters, five large moving picture houses, and two regular vaudeville shows situated in the metropolitan area. In addition to these there are three theaters, the Cox Shubert, and Grand, that have achieved nation- wide fame in the field of spoken drama. Besides these twelve large theaters, there are over seventy secondary moving picture houses scattered over the city and through the suburbs that serve thousands of local fans daily. Nature has supplied Cincinnati with rivers on three sides. The Big and Little Miamis and the Ohio furnish swimming and boating facilities to thousands of residents annually. This bountiful gift of nature has been used to good advantage. Recreation in the schools, especially at Withrow, is largely derived from athletics and entertainments. The athletic activities of the school are dealt with in detail in another article. The entertainments at Withrow are chiefly sociaI, dramatic, and musical. The social side of school activities may be illustrated by two important parties. The senior party in June is a final entertainment of the senior class. The A-D girls' party in October serves to introduce the freshman girls to Withrow. The most im- portant musical entertainments are the band concert the May concert of the other musical organizations, and the Christmas program. Dramatic entertainment is fur- nished twice a year in two plays given by the Dramatic Club. Thus, Withrow is supplying entertainment and enjoyment to her pupils just as Cincinnati is furnishing it to her citizens. F. RUSSELL, '27. l Humor Rimmr' Jifum chu-y-r't'alion. ?.rlran'cr lmid 1'1. POOR WITHROW J Senior'hr Vcrmion . , After all we have done in the four or more years of our existence, we. the seniors of XVithrow High School, take our leave. W'e ask the single queqtionehow can tl'ithmw ever get along without US? It is quite evident that the school will suffer a great 1055. Even the faculty grows restless, They seem to understand the situ- ation. tThe least of our expectations, yet the peak of our desiresl. They sense the danger in letting the control otisclmol business slip from our alilc hands. That's why some of the ahlest are being saved. Wrill the routine be as smooth under the new management as it was under our gentle, but firm, guid- ing hand? Will XVithi-ow ever produce a class of such modest, unassuming, level-headed, brilliantly schol- astic, and capable young men and women as this class of '27? Ah, XVithmw, hard must he the blow and slow it will be to heal.

Now that we have the tlourl and have no one to Check our progress toward high standards and scholarship, we intend to carry our ideals through with as much executive power as our broad minds will generate. tVe hope to blot the dark spot in ll'ithrow history, we intend to leave a high marli in that history so that fol- lowing Classes will have something to work forward to. We fully expect to so recuperate the worn out faculty, that they will want no vacation in 1928, but will earnestly desire to remain in friendship and per- sonal contact with a Class of so high 11 standing.

How far behind no one knows, Their favorite pastime seems to consist of crashing the gate at all VVithrow functions, in the capacity of ushers. They were fortunate this year in that only seventeen of the nineteen issues of uTower News carried a dirty dig about them. The other two Issues were cancelled. CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club had a perfect attendance once. tVVhen eats were servedJ N0, the numerous pictures of the Camera Club showing a handsome, bronze-faced Apollo are not ads for Ronald Coleman, but merely the smiling visage of the faculty adv1sor. MATH CLUB Everybody enjoys the Math Club. They ought to, because they are missing forty-five minutes of delightfui trig. However, after hearing Niedlermeyer's delightfully technical Speech on Math and the Radio Man, most of the Club members longed for the retiet afforded by the soothing trig. TENNIS CLUB Has-beens and not-Vvetst Yes, there are some good players in the tennis Club but they are ineligible. However, an entrance requirement is that each member talk a good game and thus we predict that in a dual meet with Hughes our tennis team would get at least second. - GARDEN CLUB We always wondered about the preponderance of feminine faces at the garden club meetings. After one look at the male president's face, the whole mystery WfiS ex-plamed. One of the members was heard to say in May that she now knew the difference between pmson Ivy and a rattle snake. PHILOLOGIA All pupils aspiring to be elevator boys should become members of Philologia. A primary qualifica- tion for this age-old club is the ability to escape from the elevator stalled between the third and fourth floor. The ability to make humorous excuses for absences and tardiness is also a prime requisite for mem- bership. Some Math genius tigured that if all the money owed by tight members were paid, Philologia could fund the entire war debt and still have enough to buy some good official stationery. 150 .a xmd OVERHEARD IN THE TOWER NEWS OFFICE Ho- hum1' ' signed the Watchman to Dinky Dodo, guess we'll have to close shop 'ti1 September and I don' t pretend to be sorrv. either!

Cincinnatits Industrial Arts N many lines of industry Cincinnati has always ranked among the foremost Cities of the world. The favorable location of the Queen City has been an important factor in her rapid growth. As a result of our water highway the raw material from Pittsburghts blast furnaces soon became the finished product of Cincinnati's fac- tories. Again when we had exceeded our own needs, the river served as a means of distribution to the Mississippi Valley and eventually to the whole world. With the advent of the railroad Cincinnati was truly at the crossroads of American commerce? Thus from the outset our City was the trade center and parent city of the West. The early origin of Cincinnati's main industries carried her into the front rank where she has remained ever since. In the early days our city attracted the skilled artisans who were migrating west, and as a result the fame of Cincinnati-made prod- ucts has become world wide. Cincinnati is the metropolis of the industrial empire in the distribution of ma- chinery and metal working equipment. A business founded by Thomas Lawson, an English iron monger and copper smith, in 1816 has flourished and grown into a great Cincinnati sheet-metal industry. The Bromwell family established an industry that has long been connected with our City in the manufacture of wire-goods. Among those Who pioneered in Cincinnatiis industries is John Steptoe, who was the first builder of machine tools in the Ohio Valley. Littie did he think that a great business would develop from the trail which he had blazed. Some of Steptoe's machines are used in Withrow's machine shop. Our shop is outfitted almost exclusively with Cincinnati-made machinery. Nothing has been spared to install the best. Every conceivable provision has been made to insure thor- ough training and give a broader education. Mr. Leach, who has charge of metal- working at Withrow, was a machinist before he became an instructor. There are four different phases of metal-working. First come the sheet-metal jobs, which include the making of everything from tin cans to window boxes. Next in line comes the Hlost art of forging, where all kinds of forge work are taken up, including welding, and everyone turns blacksmith. Finally the fourth year student reaches the stage where he is allowed to use the much admired lathes. Here metal turning, thread- ing, and the rest of the finer jobs are tackled. Although the first attempts result in a mass of twisted metal due to inability to properly manipulate the costly machines, splendid work is turned out eventually, as a visit to our machine shop will prove. Foundry practice is taken up in connection with the wood pattern-making. Here the student makes the sand mould from his wood pattern and finally pours the molten iron, which, when cool, gives him an iron casting similar to his pattern. The wood-working industry in Cincinnati has always been of major importance. At one time our city was considered the finest inland shipbuilding yard in the United States. The abundance of raw timber in the forests above the clearing of the city formed a handy lumber supply. An important role was played in the development of the wood-working industry by the makers of wood-working machinery. The first to be established was the I. A. Fay and Egan Company in 1830. This plant turns out a wide variety of machinery that is of a standard that is recognized throughout the world. The wood-working shops at Withrow are completely equipped with products of local manufacturers; hence the Fay and Egan name-piate is prominent in the Industrial Arts Building. Two steps comprise the wood-working side of industrial arts. Cabinet making is the first step and is taught by I. P. i0r John, who is none other than Mr. I. P. Herdtner, who was a professional wood-worker before joining our faculty. Here actual working conditions are encountered when a class problem is undertaken. By a Class problem is meant anything from a table lamp to a cedar chest, when the whole class works together on the same problem. The second step is the more advanced subject of pattern making under the supervision of Mr. Carlson, Who is a past master in the art. Here the student is schooled in accuracy and in the perfection of workmanship. The foundry practice mentioned before is taken in conjunction with this pattern making. 158 To do all these things requires plans to work by; therefore the art of drafting is given its share of attention in connection with industrial arts. Both mechanical and architectural drawing at Withrow are supervised by Mr. C. R. Walker, whose classes produce a quality of work above the average. In four years of mechanical drawing a wide variety of subjects are treated, ranging from the simple isometric drawings to the more complicated cams and gears. Even original inventions are worked out in theory, and a surprising number of potential geniuses are discovered. The problems are hrst drawn up, then traced, and a blue-print made by the student. Architectural drawing is a comparatively new subject and since it was added two years ago the classes have grown rapidly. The technic of house planning is the object of this training. The plans are practical and not merely dreams as is shown by the fact that some of them have been used in the construction of real houses. To sum it all upethe industrial arts are well provided for in Withrow High School. It is right that they should be in so industrial 3. city as Cincinnati. CHAS. HAGEN, '27. m THE CRUEN tVATCH CO.
