ACKERLAND, MARK THOMAS — Alias, “ The Official Echo of the student body.” M. S., Local Editor “ Oracle ,” Debating Club, Debating Team, “ Annual ” Staff. “ Mislike me not for my complexion.” His trite selection of the cute utterances of our own sweet selves, touched up with a little “ local color,” are to be found in each issue of the ‘ ‘Aughracle. ” Besides all this, he has lately found it incumbent upon himself to encourage the new style of mannish head-gear. Some years ago Tom bought a soft felt hat, and by the vigorous application of water and stretchers he has been enabled to train his “ lid” into all the new shapes as they have appeared. Now Tommie has a ‘‘ Hey-diddle-dee ” that looks “just as good” as the one in the street car pictures. We predict that Tom will have enough goods left when the hat wears out to make two “dinkeys,” if they’re still in style. Tom is a living exponent of that old saying, “ Laugh last and you laugh alone.” Oh, that laugh! When Tom’s laugh lasts he’s usually left alone. Where did he get it? “ Go to the hen coop,” say I. Catch? Tom ' s hat and laugh will both be transferred to the Harvard Museum in the near future. APPEL, CLARA MARGARET “So buxom, blithe and debonair.” J Clara is a very jolly girl, always laughing and enjoying herself. The girls say they will never forget how she enlivened the exercises in the gymnasium by her lively marches, waltzes and polkas. Although Clara belongs to the “ Baby Class,” she has anything but a baby appetite. All those who have seen her coming from the pretzel man or doughnut vender, laden with good things, can testify to the above statement. Clara always cele- brates St. Patrick’s Day in a manner befitting one from the verdant isle of Erin. Al- though she isn’t exactly dignified and majestic, Clara will certainly make a success in her career if zeal counts for anything. It is predicted that she will be Lady Macbeth in Tom Ackerland’s comic opera troupe. 12

(Hass Hfistory. ITH great excitement, in the Fall of nineteen -one, the class of ’05 entered Woodward High School. At the sound of the gong this unruly young tribe was sum- moned to the Assembly Hall, some to be banished to the Wood- ward Colony, others to remain at the main building. Owing to this division nothing much was heard of our illustrious class during the first year of its trials at Woodward. Its greatness, however, did not become known until the second year. During this year the organization of the Sophomore Class took place; its officers were chosen and the class colors selected. During this year the far-famed Kayama was held at Woodward, and through the aid of the energetic Sophomores it proved a great success. By the time we reached the third year we played an important part in the “Annals of Old Woodward.” In this year occurred the most noted of Junior Parties — the reception to the Senior Class. Through the hard work of nine Juniors Woodward won the championship in Foot Ball, and the girls showed their loyalty to the school by their presence at all the games of the season. It was with great pleasure on the part of the Juniors that the third year came to an end and the fourth was hailed. This year will be a memorable one in the minds of fhe class of ’05, for with the advent of the fourth year comes a term of great social pleasures for the Seniors. The hilarious hours spent in the Laboratory will never be forgotten and doubtless will be long remembered by Professor Homberg. Shortly after the term began the class was organized, with Asbury Aughinbaugh as its president, and after causing our faithful committee great anxiety, the class pin was selected. How thankful we are to Mr. Mockbee for his never tiring efforts in procuring designs to suit the various members of the class. Next came the Christmas entertainment, which proved a big success, and we all feel greatly indebted to the committee for the enjoyable time we had that afternoon. In December the Glee Club was organized, consisting of about thirty selected voices, under the leadership of Mr. Aiken. Through the kindness of this organization the Operetta was given on the eve- ning of May the twelfth and afternoon of the thirteenth, for the benefit of the “ Oracle.” As a whole the class has been a model one, and often, in years to come, its members will look back with pleasure to the happy days spent at dear “Old Woodward,” their “Alma Mater.” JEANNETTE F.

AUGH1NBAUGH, BARNETT ASBURY —Alias, “Barnett.” X.2.X. , Class President, Editor of the “ Oracle ,” Debating Club , Debating Team. “ I am Sir Oracle; when I ope’ my lips let no dog bark ” Barrymore is in no way related to that famous actress of the same name, although his sobriquet sounds literary enough; and well it should, as it was partly through his efforts that the “ Oracle ” attained such triumphant eminence. One would suppose by his deep, pensive brow, crowned with that striking wreath of auburn hair, that Asbury were in the dope state. On the contrary; he is only propounding a plot for some detective story. Some day Barry hopes to outstrip the renowned Conan Doyle. The Czar has displayed pronounced ability in debate; his arguments are phenomenal, his debating is really a la Maude. As class president Barnett B. discharged his duties with much fidelity. The members of the Senior Class would like to know whether Asbury is a user of Pabst “ Blue Ribbon” Beer. We are confident that in the near future he will become a great statesman, for Queen Elizabeth had red hair, Napoleon had red hair, and Barnett As- bury Aughinbaugh has hair. BARNES, EDNA MAY “ Thy modesty ' s a candle to thy worth.” This sweet and modest girl, one of the “ Babes in Toyland,” is very studious. She does not care much for social functions, but is rather quiet. However, she is so attractive, it is rumored that when she enters the laboratory all the magnetic needles point her way. She is a very fine English student, and in Latin her translations are so excellent and in such beautiful language, that someone was tempted to say she somewhat resembled a jockey. But we are perfectly prepared to furnish evidence to disprove this last state- ment and lay bare its glaring falseness. Edna’s desire is to be a trained nurse and we hope she will succeed in her vocation. She surely will if gentleness and patience are the requisites for her chosen profession. 13
