High schools are not free schools in the sense that they do not cost anything. They are called free schools because they are supported by public funds supplied by general taxation so that anyone may attend regardless Such schools have existed in the United States for only a short time. The pioneer work for a state school system and tax supported schools occurred in Massachusetts, and was done by Horace Mann, a lawyer. The schools of Massachusetts were declining. Provi- sions for schools were bad. People of means were sending their children to private schools which threatened to displace public education completely. Horace Mann recognized the danger and in one lecture to the people said: These schools at the present time are so many independent communities, each being governed by its own habits, traditions, and local customs. There is no common superin- tending power over them, there is no bond of brotherhood or family between them. They are stran- gers and aliens to each other. Under the leadership of Mann the followers of the common school movement finally won out and later every state of the union adopted public schools.

Only two rooms were used for the seventy-five boys and two teachers. No strictly high school work was offered, although the mechanical drawing and woodwork courses were equal to high subjects, and credit was given for these subjects to boys entering high school. Soon the school was enlarged to accomodate the five hundred boys enrolled. A new name was sought, and because the school placed a great empha- sis on mannal training, it was named for C. M. Woodward, the first advo- cate of manual training. At first the school was known as Woodward Junior High, but later, when a full four-year course was added, the word Techni- Ekikii A Tercentenary ' of J High Schools MEZEZW MQ? QE i cal was substituted for Junior In September, 1919, commercial students were transferred from Scott to Woodward, and from that time Woodward offered all courses. Part-time classes were in- augurated and a machine shop was equipped by the aid of Toledo business men. The year 1922 marked the beginning of unit trade courses which are not included in the curricula of any other high school. In 1927, with the development of the North End of Toledo, another high school was needed for the district so the present Woodward High School was built, the biggest and best equipped of the four. Still young, our school is endeavoring to establish records in scholarship and athletics to equal the reputations of the older schools of the city. The aim of Woodward has coincided with the aim of the first high school: That those early -6 9 . s I 4 J w Vernon Keil General cflf' I.

French Club Quill and Dagger T THE boisterous mass meeting, when the whole school assembled to start another school year, a new Freshman class of 786 was formed of unknowns who later supplied the leaders ofthe school. The first year was a matter of mapping a course through strange rules and places with our Fresh- man advisers as able guides, and of becoming acquainted with our fellow members. During this year the Woodward Chapter of the National Honor Society was formed. The Sophomore year established us as a class organization under the leadership of Billy Ray, president. Two important events were given by the class: i'The Spring Frolic,', the annual Sopho- more dance, and Once in a Palace, the class play presented by the newly-organized i'Little Thea- ter Guild. The Junior year was again a period of adjustment. Many ofthe affairs of the school were being placed in our hands, and under the direction of Mr. Philo Dunsmore and Miss Amie Miller, the class was soon started. Immediately after the election of the Junior class cabinet, with Sam Schall as president, the hilarious i'Kid Partyi' took place. The Little Theater Guild, keeping its promise of success, chose Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farmi' as the class production. A capable committee chose the class rings which were given out in the spring. The Junior Prom in the Chamber of Commerce ended the activities of the year. ' In the usual rush of the last year, elections were held early and Justin Hering became senior president. Cyrano de Bergerac was given by the Little Theater Guild. Wllhe Hick Party, a mid- season event, was followed by the Senior play i'Pomander Walk. Commencement occupied the rest of the year. The class which had been closely knit together for four years again separated into the indi- viduals from whom it was formed, with many memories of commonly-shared pleasures. .L Wayne Lemont Sharon Leibovitz Paul Levandowski Dorothy Leon Michael Liwo Kathryn Lowden Industrial Arts General General Commercial industrial Arts Commercial Honor Society 3, 4 French 2, 3, 4 Spanish 1, 2, Sr. Friendship Honor Society 2, 3, 4 Sr. Friendship 3, 4 Engineering Society 4 International 2, 3, 4 Art Klan 1 Plane Society 1, 2 Tattler Staff 2, 3, 4 Hi-Y 4 Electrical Club 2
