sixty-three. During the year the first annual High School and Senior plays were given. A class of seven graduated at the. close of the school year. In 1912, Prof. G. C. Wakefield came to Woodward as Superintendent. The enrollment then had reached eighty-seven. Mr. Wakefield is now serving his fourth year here and has done much to raise W. H. S. to her present high standard. Our School is not slow to take up progressive ideas, and among the newly installed organizations is “Student Control.” Although this is the first trial here, the system has proved very helpful to the pupils of W. H. S. This year opened with an enrollment of two hundred and four and has been the most successful in the historoy of the school. The foot ball, basketball boys, and girls, the Midgets and Track Teams have won an everlasting name for our school. As the year draws to a close, our thoughts are torn between emotions of joy and sorrow, of joy at happy thoughts of Commencement week and of sadness at the thoughts of parting with our school mates and teachers. The graduating class of 1916, which has twenty-one members, is the largest in the history of the school. It is the sincere desire of the present Seniors that future years will see W. H. S. progressing and advancing as she has in the past. Should they return to pay their beloved school homage, may they find it a better and larger school than it was when they left it! May progress be the eternal heritage of W. H. S. J. B. ’16.
