ALUMNI LETTERS imunmuMunnii Benjamin. Texas, March 5, 1917. I.ast Max 1 had the pleasure of attending Commencement for the first time in several years. It was the lir l time I had ever been in the High School building, and as 1 watched the long line of Seniors and still longer line of Juniors file in, my thoughts Hew back to our little class of three in 04. with our commencement exercises in the Brockhaus Hail, and it seemed far distant, indeed. The editor said 1 might write about what I pleased, so being the very oldest of all of you I wish to write a little about the past and the vast improvements. My first sciiool davs in Woodward were spent in a building of three rooms, where the Delta Hotel now stands: our pla ground, that dusty street corner with a saloon, less than a block away. The old wooden school building which most of you remember as ramshackle” and fire-trap” was built soon after, and the new domicile seemed almost palatial to us. I doubt if any of you enjoyed your new home as much as we did ours. Through some chance or other the window blinds were at first painted a pale pink. Did it appeal to our sense of the ridiculous or offend our sense of fitness? It did not. We were glad that they were clean and painted. Our course of study was meagre, too, in some respects, lacking so many interesting subjects and equipment. In nothing, though, is there so much difference as in your recreation and your athletics. The boys then had a football and the girls hlackman, skipping rope and chewing gum. I fear indeed, I have spent too much time, but I wish to say this: all of you boys and girls ought to be thankful to the Board, who made it possible for vou to have these advantages, and lo your parents, that vou have this opportunity. Your gratitude may best be shown in making the fullest use of your opportunities. IVY COOMBKS BROWDER ’04. Tulsa. Okla.. Jan. 11, 1917. To the Senior Class: The ancient and honorable class of’12 has certainly never ceased to feel its strong bond of kinship with W. H. S. Our class it was which labored thru those difficult four years during which fire destroyed all material aspect of our Alma Mater and as a rrsult we were forced to work out our courses with prac-ticallv no equipment—when one whole room was a luxury impossible to afford. The «Iry as a bone” details of Caesar's bridge were unfolded to me amid the distractions of a proverbially rancorous-voiced English teacher on one side and a hard-to-convince” Geometry Prof, on the other. Oh! Efficiency! But it also fell to us first to occupy as Seniors the splendid new building which is now the home of W. H. S. It is flattering enough to be a Senior but to be a Senior in this tremendously changed new W. H. S. was indeed a thing for pride to feed upon. Our A- and H. class is proud of the progress that W;. H. S. has made: our class is proud of the graduates of nineteen seventeen, as it is proud of former classes, and we staunchly believe in the quality of human material which is attracted and will be attracted in the future to the School that was ours.
