Its foundation was laid in 1792, where, while the Ohio Valley was almost an untrodden wilderness, the Congress of the United States reserved a tract of land to be located between the two Miami Rivers, to be devoted to the support of an institution of learning. This tract was located by the State legislature in the year 1803, and consisted of a township in Butler County, Ohio. In 1809 the legislature passed an act establishing the University. ' The whole country, at that time, was heavily forested and almost a wilderness, and consequently the advance of population was slow, so that the year 1816 had come before the Hrst school of the University was opened. The University proper was organized in 1824., and the first class graduated in 1826. From the beginning Miami University stood for thoroughness and high standards, and drew into its classes a high order of talent, which explains why there are so many distinguished members in its alumni, viz.: the great Wat Governors of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois; Ex-President Harrison, Prof. David Swing, Sam Galloway, Hon. Whitelaw Reid, William Dennison, Caleb B. Smith, John W. Noble, Theophilus Dickey, BentonJ. Hall, Murat Halstead, Dr. W. C. Gray, Bishop John Walden, and many others. Such was the influence of the college, direct cn' indirect, that Ohio was for a time the leading State in the Union in the number and ability of her generals, jurists, legislators, diplomats, craters, educators, ministers, lawyers K and physicians. In fact, Miami graduates have tilled every important part in the country's service from the President down. What Miami has done for the country in a past generation, she in now doing for the future. She stands for equal develoPment and diseipiine of the mental and moral, at well as the phyeical powars, thus perfecting the highest type of manhood. The magnificent campus of sixty-Five acres is studded here and there by its splendid buildings, such as Brice Scientific Hall, furnished with the most modern apparatus and facilities for teaching science; Herron Gymnasium, equipped with all the latest and most improved gymnastic contrivances. The Main Building, which is 250 feet long, includes the beautiful chapel, recitation rooms and oHices, and the two dormitories for young men, which have recently been fitted up with all the latest improvements. The Library occupies a part of the second floor of the Main Building and consists of some 10,000 volumes, among which many rare 0ch editions may be found. The three departments of the University, the Academy, the Normal School, and the College of Liberal Arts, afford all the advantages obtainable at the best universities of the land. While the advantages of learning at Miami are of the highest quality, it is possible to obtain them at a moderate expense, as the tuition is free and the cost of living reasonable.

We must confess that we have produced this hook with a selfish aim. We worked not for honor, we worked not for glory, but only with this purpose in view; namely, that we might have in our passes- sion 3 means by which we may recall the beaming countenances and various doings of our classumates. l i For many of us, this year will be the end of our school-life. The well-worn path which has led us to our beloved Woodward will soon be but a pleasant memory. In future time, when our greatly divergent paths have led us far apart, let us hope that this treasured volume be a source from which we may derive boundless pleasure in the memories of the joys and pleasures through which we have just passed. Let it always remind us that we are of the class of 1907. We earnestly hope that this putpose be accomplished, only this and nothing more. .d 1 5V? $748 041?? mii-Q'AN if :1, 'Wgeti 1. get ti: v59 't ggi k 13x 1E ' 2 53-h Q, r3713? 2-1. ye? . .1955 .1 ll' Q ;, 't'l f.

In those days all the Latin pupils attended the Colony, from which the Main Building was perpetually in the horizon. The German pupils had the advantage of entering Woodward proper at once. Our girls may be congratulated on the success of their tiDutch iunchf which was given in the first year by the members of the culinary department, for the purpose of raising suihcient funds. for the marble table and all utensils used in the cooking room. During this year all the athletic games were well attended by our enthusi- astic class, and school honor was deeply trootedfi With a few withdrawals, the class appeared in 1904 to reunite under the dignihed name of ttSophomoresJ, The Colony members became acquainted with their companions of the Main Building, and our most glorious class of 1907 fairly commenced its history. As yet the novelty Hi of study had not worn off; and school enthusiasm was still prevalent. As all Sophomores, we patronized the Freshies, and in turn were patronized by the haughty J uniors and Seniori After the interval of about two months, our class, in 1905, reached the dizzy heights of Juniorism. After a few U0 class meetihgs, Mr. Stanley Beddoe was elected President, With Miss 13 Ethel Greiser as his humble assistant. and after a few more crumbs has been left in Mr. Braderis room, it was Iinally decided that on the sixteenth of March the B Grade After a few more meetings, should give .a. reception to the A Grade. This reception was 3. won- derful event, and stands out as a beacon light of history. The A Grade returned the compliment by giving our class a very enjoyable time at Lake Allyn. At the Interscholastic Field Day the boys of our class showed themselves in their true colors. Many melodious voices of our class were heard, not only in the halls, but, also in the Glee Club. Our claSS has always been jolly, and the weight of Seniorship has not seemed to rest heavily on the shoulders of its most illustri- ous and distinguished members. Early in the term the class was organized, with Mr. Elstun as our honored President and Miss Pardi as our Vice President, both most able officers, as has been proved. After several arguments, we finally chose our class pin, and it is with the greatest pride our class goes out into the world wearing the tiny 1907 pin of blue and gold. We flatter ourselves that each thing we have attempted has been a complete success. 0 1907 class! may you always meet With success, And slowly and more slowly may your numbers grow less! Andriessen, Hortense Amelia. Center Ball Team. nShe :ls studious. of her ease. Hortense is our star center ball player. She captained the A Grade team this year, and it didnit lose a game. She plays ncenter With the most amazing accuracy and coolness. She is very clever,- in throwing the ball to the referee, so that no late misstep can give an opponent the opportunity of declaring that she was off the box when she caught it. She is also fa- mous for her accomplishments in the culinary line. If all athletic girls were as good cooks as Hortense, how very popular they would be! Beddoe, Stanley J. A A. Football Team. I fain would. follow love if that could be. Stanley, the pride of the feminine hearts of Old Woodward! This young descendant of Adonis sets E111 the hearts of the fair damsels palpitating with emotion when he comes nigh and bestows upon them his winning smiles. It is to be regretted that Stanley did not have his picture taken with that smile, because it adds greatly to his good looks. Once, in a football game, Stanley saw a. chance to shine in the eyes of the feminine world, and so he managed to have a couple of teeth knocked out. His plan succeeded, and he immediately became a. hero in the eyes of 2.11 the young ladies. Stanley is of a very sensitive nature, and a. kind of nervous diaposition, and can not sit still for one minute. He is an eloquent speaker, and has often entertained us in elocution by lengthy and dramatic discussions on various lofty topicS. 14 Bingel, Doris A. E. Gym Team, Center Ball, Oracle Staff. HBut: for a modest graceful mien, the like I never saw? Behold! a most earnest and studious girl, Who always takes home an excellent report. She is lively and brimming over With spirits, and she has won a. host of friends. In Lab. she is a. helpful partner, in respect to wash- ing out test tubes; but she also annoys her neighbors very much by borrow- ing the rubbers on the ends of their pencils. Doris literally drinks in every word of Mr. Hamburg, and is his most conscientious pupil. Good, healthy, robust boys seem to be her ideals in regard to the masculine sex. But we must not go beyond a gentle touch, because Doris is very sensitive concern- ing all knocks. She did excellent work on the A Grade center ball team, and much credit for the victories is due to Doris. Every Friday night Doris goes to aidance. tNot alone, oh, non Bowyer, Leonard L. A A, Captain Basket Ball Team. Swimming Team, Athletic Committee, Rooter's Captain, Vice-President Art League, Business Manager of Annual. h A person at indefatigable Industry, strong reason, and great experience. Bowyer's industry is well known. He is the business manager of the Annual and Captain of the basket ball team, and it that doesn't denote in- dustry, nothing does. Woodwardts basket ball team, champions this year, with Bowyer at its head, was one of the finest teams that we have ever had, if not the finest, and if the Annual is a success, a great part of that success Will be due to itBo. Bowyer joined the class in his Sophomore year, and has ever since taken a foremost part in its interests and welfare. He is one of the best students in school; his per cents always hover around the Au mark, and, even though he is apt to be slightly frivolous in Latin, it never atfects his standing. By his good work and jolly goodufellowship, Bowyer has gained the good will of all his teachers and the respect and friendship of his class. Wood- ward will lose a loyal son When Bowyer graduates. l5 Burns, Marina Ormsby Hex: kindness and her worth to spy You need but gaze on Marinais eye. Marine. is our studious girl. I think that the College Class will agree that she is the hardest worker among them. She deserves praise for the credit- able way in Which she made up her work lost by absenee, which was due to ill-health. In the lunch room, whenever the girls are hextra hungmm and their purses lighter than usual, they know that Marina can always be de- pended on to give them good measure for their pennies. Marinate schgol daye are not to end in June, for she intends to follow her sister Helen to the Varsity, where she will continue her pursuit of'knowledge. Burnet, F. Dana. M. S. K. K. A ,5. Captain Foot Ball Team. Annual Staii' . ttAnd still they gazed and still the wonder grew, that one small head could carry all he knew. This brave and valiant warrior successfully captained the football team teewell, he captained the football team. No doubt, had this gladi- ator lived in ye ancient Roman days, he would have, by his prowess, com- pelled the noble Caesar to say tiThumbs up? Dana. is noted throughout the school for having the gift of ga and an abundant fund of jolly. He is also an orator, and can speak Rome and Carthage with one hand tied behind him. La face humaine de Burnet is marked by a curious scar across his head, just three degrees above the spot where the part in his hair coincides With hair number 23. One day while playing Caesar in e10- cution he was stabbed there by a stylus in the hands of Casca. This blow of a stylus had such an effect upon his brain that he has since written sevw eral stories for the OracIeJ' Dana is the pride of the Freshies. When he approaches you can hear the Freshies whisper, tAintt he grand? 16 Cochran, Allen D. M. S. K. K. Annual Staff. it He coulde eel: daunee well portray and write. Allen D. Cochran: Dean is one of the great triumvirate who composed the class of lBBVJ. His real name is Allen, but he is called Allen Dean for short. He is an artist, and he can draw anything from his breath to his salary CD. Deants great ambition in life is to become a Professor of Latin in Woodward! In fact, he promises to rival Vergil in Latin verse. His Latin translations are wonderful and abound in queer expressions, most vivid descriptions and surprising facts on genealogy. It is not strange to hear from'his lips that Aeneas was t'suffused in olive oil, and, after setting far apart, was scattered over the sea in a. foam. He loved his school so that he stayed as long as he could. Dean is a. great favorite With the girls, and: can talk to six of them at once without blushing. Although he is always true to Woodward, he can not refrain from letting his thoughts wander over to our worthy rivalsl school, Walnut Hills, Where she abides! Day, Walter S. M. S. K. K. A A. Annual Staff, Football Team, Manager Baseball Team, Swimming Team. it Singing he was and floytlng all the day He was a: fresh as 15 the month of May. Walter Day: Wallie is the boy with the beautiful blush. He possesses a. blush Which starts frem his neck and suffuses itself gently along his face 6,611 to the roots of his hair. Withal, he is not bashful, and that blush is due to the fact that he knows that his handsome face is admired by all the fair sex, and he knows that if he does not blush he will be regarded as a. very vain lad. Walter is a. good boy, both in school and out. In school he is the pride of his class, because he does nothing to offend anybody. He is a great favorite With the teachers, and he loves to study German. He is also a great artist, and spends all his spare time in German in drawing portraits of the surrounding people. Outside of school he is an ideal fellow. He has no bad habits, and, in truth, he can be regarded as a. model boy, because of the mOSt astounding fact that he does not indulge in tobacco in any form. Follow Walter's example and you will find the road to success orselsewhere. 17 Dock, Howard. K. K. Oracle Staff, Annual Staff. 't These signs have marked me extraordinary, I am not in the roll of common men i' Behold the perfect man! Never in his four years course was Dock known to receive a demerit; never was he known to miss a lesson. If he ever got less than 999g in an exam. he would rave and tear his hair. But, then, no one ever missed the hair, so poor Dock never received any sympathy. French is Dockis long suit. Frencheand singing. Dock sings well. Dock is a tine Latin student. Dock is an extraordinary chemist. Dock is a. fine mathema- tician. Dock isebut Why go into details? Every one knows Who Dock is. Every one knows whom to turn to for a Latin lesson or a French exercise or a geometry proposition that one has neglected to do one's self. The only thing that Dock cant do is to roll a. cigarette. Withal, he is a. good fellow, a. hard worker and a conscientious student, who has deservedly gained the respect and esteem of his teachers and the good will of his classmates. P. Selt has just been rumored that Dock has at last received a. demerit! Alas! how the mighty have fallen! Dock is human, after all. Dodds, Warren 0. A A. Track Team, Basket Ball. d A pony, a pony, my kingdom for a pony. Ever know that Warren was an equestrian? Its a fact, and, besides, it is fitting that he should be, for he is a light-weight, and small of stature, an admirable jockey. But, then, even if he is fond of riding, he walks mamr times. Warren has other accomplishments. He is a. brilliant French scholar, so brilliant that frequently he dazzles the eyes of his teacher by his Witty trans- lations. Dodds is very fond of puns, and expounds them with varied suc- cess. He is an athlete, else. He may be seen upon the track or .at the gym, where he affords the girls much amusement. by showing them the simple art of losing your man in a basket ball game. Dodds is ever ready with smile and joke when he is in our midst, and is hailed as a god of joy and happiness. 18 Eversull, Bertie A dandy little lady and moat sweet. Is she nice? Well, you can just put your money on that. Shels bright, too, and every one breathes a. sigh of relief When Bertie gets up to translate Latin. They know that before her recitation is completed a. good portion of a diHicult lesson will be properly read. She comes to school from a long distance, but, to her credit, be it said that she has never been known to be late. She is a. splendid cook, and all of us in the class are proud of our little housewife. Elstun, Wesley M. Class President, A A, M. S , K K., Manager Foot. Ball Team, Swimming Team, Track Team, Athletic Committee. uNowhere so busy 8. lnan us he there was, and yet he seemed busier than he was. Nobody ever saw Elstun when he wasnlt in a rush. Early in the morn- ing Wess could be seen in the classroom, excitedly scanning the contents 0f some book that he should have studied the night before. But his ability to get up and git stood him in good stead in his man- agement of the football team, in. Which oflice Wess gained the name of ltThe Fighting Manager? It sounds well, doesn't it? However, if truth be told. this warlike cognomen was really a. result of Elstun's wanting to fight t'der Gaptaint because the latter demanded two ttcomps instead or one. As for his lessons, elocution is Wessl joy and pride tor would be if he could only keep his knees from shakingl, and composition is a close second in his affections. Why, when Elstun is told to write a theme, he even goes so far as to count each word in order that he may not write too muche I mean little, of course. To conclude, it is a significant fact that Wess is always blamed for every disturbance in the Senior Class. 19 F rank, Elsa Carolyn Her appetite for knowledge is insatiable. This seems tWe say seemsl to be the case With Elsie, for after finishing her four years course she has come back to stay with us another half year. Can her love for learning be as great as that? We fear not. But there surely is some reason, and the only one that seems suitable is that there is some attraction. We hardly think it isione of her girl friends, nor do we think itois any of the priests or priestesses of Minerva Umown com- monly as teachersl. However, this is only a supposition; do not take it for granted, because, after all, it might only be her devotion to the goddess of. learning. Elsie has a great propensity for reading-fiction. She became so interested the other day that she forgot to eat her lunch. Just think of it! Talking also seems to be one of her gifts, for she can talk by the hour on any subject. She is also an artist in china painting. Funke, Richard H. Captain Track Team. it His speed was as the lightningil When we say that Dick is the Captain of the track team, we have said a great deal. His hobby is breaking records, and Dick seems to have a marked propensity for this. He is a. fast man, and does everything with speed. In fact, speed has become his second nature. He has grown so used to it that he even translates Latin speedily. Dickie future vocation in life is uncertain, but he has confided that he will either become a missionary or a. preacher. Dickis fertile brain overflows with knowledge, which he is al- ways ready to impart to the needy. This is one of his traits that is especially admired by his teachers. We hope that when Dick enters upon lifeis duties he may have a. prosperous time, and. win as many victories upon the battle held of life as he has upon the iield of sport. 20 Gellenbeck, Helen Frances Center Ball, Gym Team. h'The hand that made thee fair, hath made thee good. Helen is an exceptionally bright student and witty girl. She is very original, too, and has an odd way of anticipating an explosion or evolution of light and heath in chemical experiments. This is all very well, except when the explosion doesnit occur. She is igreat at playing front box in a center ball game, and no player on the opposing teams enjoys guarding Helen. She is frequently tardy, but she often manages to reach the ante-room just as the tardy bell rings. Her ability in getting sense out of the most difficult Latin passages and her quickness in French conversation cause her to be envied by 3.11 her feiiow-students, but do not make them think one whit the less of her. Gaddum, Leonard W. A A, Football Team, Oracle Staff. ttOh thy hair is like the red, red rose When one speaks of Gaddum one naturally thinks of his hair, which is of that unfortunate color that always attracts attention. But it is with pride that we think of it. On the football field Gads, hair was a good beacon to follow, if we particularly needed a gain, and a good thing to pin one's faith to, if there was a hard tackle to be made. All Woodward is proud of that hair, and the class is proud of Gaddum. That he goes at his lessons in the same way that he did his football is shown by his good marks. t'Gad is little and quiet and unassumingebut he is all there when he is needed. In the thick of 'a football scrimmage or in working out some puz- zling problem in mathematics, one could always be sure that Gad and his hair would be mixed up in it somehow. 21 Goodhart, Zorelda H. ii Refinement personifiedni Gentle and meek Zorelda. Her voice is never raised above a soft tone, she never gets excited, she is never in a hurry, yet she is always on time. How we envy you, Zorelda, your calm and peaceful mien! Zorelda's brain capacity must indeed be large, for she knows more than the average girl, and. when some general question is asked the class, Zomelda. always redeems us by rising, and, in her quiet way, telling the exact answer which is required. Zorelda. delights in relating little anecdotesgto her girl friends, and if some- times they are in too much of a hurry to listen, it is not because they would not like to. Wellesly College has a great treat in store for it, because it is to receive Zorelda. next year, and we hope her soft smiles and her Win- ning ways will take well Hon foreign shores? Haehnle. Elmer C. Football Team, Debating Society. ii Let me have men above me that are fat. Hlaehnie may be .classed among the workers at Woodward. Not only is he ihdustfiqus in his studies. but he is also one of the valiant heroes of the gridiron. He is the nonpareil in French. After two years of stiidy in that language he could say, with enunciation not unlike that of a. French school boy, Jaime ma. maitresse. Elmer was always a most iskilful scribe, and his Devoirs en Francais are the teacher's delight, both on accOunt of their neatness and excellence. As a climax to Elmeris brilliant high school career, he surprised and thrilled his auditors by a most glowing appeal for the wider observance of the Initiative and Referendum. 22 Greiser, Ethel. M. O. B. Oracle Staif Annual Staff. h The most precious things come in small packagesJ' Dear little Ethel! It hardly seems possible that so many good qualities can he possessed by so petite a. person. Ethel is a little woman in all senses of the word, for, though She never neglects her studies, she is ever ready to be 011 some sort of a committee and lend her aid towards nman- aging. In other words, she is always ready to help? The department of chemistry which she likes the best is the laboratory, for there she can break test tubes to her heart's content, and certainly no one can excel her in this art. In the lunch room Ethel will eat anything but lamb -I wonder why? And whenever she hears the word iidoctorf it is surprising the way she pricks up her ears! Ethel is not a. very noisy little person, but she accomplishes a great deal Without making much fussf Not enough space could be given to relate her good qualities, but weive only room left to say, She's little, but, oh, my! Hammel, Fred J. Debating Society, Oracle Staff. ii Noght a. word spak he more than he was nedeJi If Fritz were, by some unlucky chance, thrown upon his own resources, he certainly could hoe his own row right now. He can make cigars as good as father used to make, and with the rapidity of a machine, too. But if this: censcience would not permit him to pursue this business, he is well qualified to teach German, for all the German girls at Woodward say that Fred 'is a; star in this subject. He can handle money like a. i211w Gould, as witnessed by the booming subscription business of the iiOracleP And as to speeches, well, we are at a loss for words to describe his ability, and so we will con- clude by predicting a great hnancial career for Fritz, combined with a great deal of speech? 23 Hildebrandt, Clara Elizabeth Center Ball Team, Art League nFair is she, and very fair. Brown hair, brown eyes and red cheeks; rather small and rather slender. There you have her, as pretty as a picture! But to appreciate Chiqui tas she is called by her Spanish friendsi, one must know her. ' Just to look at her one would think, what a demure, sweet little maiden! But appearances, you know, are deceptive, for under this saintly exterior lies a most gay and mischievous spirit, which is seen only by those who know her. She belongs to the ltSpanish bunch, and thatis unut ced. But truly, her brightness is remarkable, as is also her great attraction for bright things. It is astonish- ing to see the number of uhrig-ght-headed people who circle around her. Just recently a new member has entered her ranks. The acquaintance started in the lower regions tthe laboratoryl, when she showed such a fondness for the color red. It was not because she was fond of the red cabbage used in the laboratory, nor because red becomes her, though it does; she has reasons of her own, but some one surely guessed them, for Santa Claus left her a big red bean on the Christmas tree in the gym. HoHing, Chas. A., Jr. A A, President Athletic Committee,Footba.11 Team, Annual Staff. ' rhe Justice full of wise sayings. This is a husky young athlete, whose dignijied bearing won for him the sobriquet of Judgen during his early years at WoodWai-d. The latter state- ment would imply that his sojourn was longer than the average. In the past few years he has won honor and glory for our Alma. Mater, and his Alma by his effective Wielding 0f the hammer. But his glorious achievements were not games on the athletic field alone. Although never brilliant, he was at all times a diligent student, and even waxed eloquent on civics during the latter part of his Senior year. In French he was a nstar, but he was in the favor of the teacher to such a degree as to hinder investigation as to his magnitude. At any of our social functions the somewhat ponderous bulk of this Adonis II. could be seen tripping on the light fantastic toe tbelonging to some one other than hel. 24 Hoffman, Magdalena Catharine Center Ball. ti And never yet was foolish. How true of little Miss Hoffman! One can not help prefixing that little, after having seen her. She is such a. quiet, sober girl that you can hardly tell she is around. This is not true in center ball, however, for she is one of the best players on the team, making herself useful in a dozen different ways. She is here one second, there the next, jumping about like a rubber ball. Hei- shortness is of greater value than tallness would be, for large bodies move slowly, you know. She always seems to be busy, and we think if it were not for this fact we might know her a. little better. But her time is put to good account, as any one in her French class can tell you. Hutchins, Mabel von Lohr Center Ball, Annual Staff. 't A perfect woman, :10th planned. Mabel is one of our brightest and most popular girls. One seldom Iinds a girl who takes as much interest in her studies, but still finds so much time for fun. She has hosts of friends, particularly among the opposite sex. At the beginning of the year it seemed that Mabel was going to favor the boys of the B Grade, but she soon found that A Grade boys were much more attractive, and, consequentlyhbestowed her smiles on them. This caused much satisfaction among the Seniors, but chagrin among the Juniors, who immediately assumed a. sour grape expression and proceeded to call he:- t'HutchinsF Mabel is a. star at center ball, in spite of the fact that this is her first year at the game. By the way, in one game Mabel wore a sweater that had a. strangely familiar look. I wonder why? 25 J oehnk, Elsa Nora Pearl Oracle Staff. it And her golden hair was hanging down her back. She is one of the many rosy-headed members of our class, and we couldnit possibly get along without this bright head. She isn't the champion test tube smasher of the class, but she ranks second. Well, if she isnit the champion smasher, she is something of a. masher,h for we know of three youths positively that have become enslaved to her charms, but just how many more we can't say. Elsa has a host of girl friends, and every one of them can tell you What a. jolly, fun-Ioving maiden she is. She can make you laugh though you are feeling as sober as a judge. She is always seen attended by her Fidus Achates Geminineh, and by the way they talk one won- ders what important news it is they are telling each other. But, aside from 3.11 nonsense, do you know that Elsa. is a talented violinist? She is, and some day we shall probably hear from her when she is playing engagements in symphony concerts. Joslin, Allen R. K. K. A ,3. Oracle Stafc. it He was liked full well thy the girlsw' Allen came to Woodward at the beginning of this year, but soon gained a. host of friends by his pleasant disposition. He astonished his teachers With his knowledge of chemistry and English, but all these things were ancient history to Joslin. We might call him an itinerant scholar, for he has attended Walnut Hills, Technical School, etc., etc. And, just to think that he has captured many hearts at each school. For information as to his Wood- ward conquests, ask Blanche. Never mind her last name. 26 Kramer, Elsa ' The early bird catches the worm. Fifteen minutes before eight finds Elsa. bright and eager at her desk, ready to begin a day of hard work. She very seldom lets any one beav' her in coming early in the morning. Elsa studied hard and conscientiously during her last half year at Woodward. She invariably said things back- ward, and on one occasion declared that she nhaired her comb? She has a. very tender heart, and would die rather than hurt any onets feelings. She was a. member of the 1906112 class, and, therefore, thought that she should be treated as such, but since she was not a. member of the Latin hunch she was continually being forgotten and left out by the teachers. Krueck, Josephine None know her but to love her, none name her but to praise. This is Jo, star of the German iirmament. She keeps up the interest of the class by her Witty sayings. She is a great favorite with her classmates of both sexes. 50 is ambitious; she wants to be a teacher in some charitable institution, say, for instance, the House of Refuge. At least, that is what she says, but her hearers take it With a. grain of Na. Cl. Jo has a. secret admiration for uniforms; that is, she thinks it is secret. giNuf ced. But all this describes Jo as she generally appears. There is another side of her character which shows her to be very practical and serious. But, serious or gay, she is lovable-our Jo. 27 Louis, Edith A. K II Annual Staff. ' I'his young lady's knowledge is wonderful. This young ladyis knowledge is wonderful. Although one of the small- est, she is also one of the most learned pupils of ,07. We wonder where she gets her great stock of learning, but we surely do not think it is from nfeeding on embroidered couches, which her Latin teachei' thinks she eats. Pretty hard fodder, that! From this, one would suppose she is a sober, 01d grind, but it is just otherwise. She enjoys fun as well as any one, and, with her laughing blue eyes and sunny smile, is the very picture of good humor. Edith is especially fond of cooking. To make pies like mother used to make is her chief delight. Majoewsky, Walter V. Basket Ball, Swimming Team, Track Team. nThere is 110 art to 11nd his prowess by his lookl. Walter is a. diligent student and conscientious worker, and through all his labors he wears the smile that wont come off. A fellow is not known in these days by his intellectual achievements alone, so Walter has taken to the held of sport. He plays basket ball, runs on the track team and does other stunts. Recently he journeyed southward as far as Shillito place, where he proceeded to show the natives how to swim. A curious fact about Walter is his apparent indifference to exams. We do not wish to insinuate, but he must have something up his sleeve. But, then, weiil not inquire too deeply into that, for people who live in glass houses, etc. Walter is such a hard CU worker that he certainly deserves just reward and praise, and we hope that he may receive his full share after leaving Woodward. 28 Marsh, Florence Garfield ii Little, but oh my! One of the very smallest of the grade, Florence reminds one of a. large Parisian lady doll. She is always iijust 50f her hair is never awry, her Waist never rumpled. She is as swift as an arrbw, and When she plays guard in center ball the boxes anticipate hard work, for she can jump very well and her reach is marvelously long for a girl as tiny as Florence is. She is not much trouble to her teachers, for she conscientiously studies and recites her lessons, and she believes in taking things easily and Without worry. Her hobby seems to be French quotations, for she is continually bobbing up With French sayings and Frenchy effects. She is a. member of the half year class, and.. therefore, a pioneer in Ye Ancient Order of ' Daughters of Rest. We sincerely say, i'Florenceurest; your school life is oier. Majoewsky, Leo R. Debating Society. The plays the thing. Our earliest memory of Leo calls to mind a lad clad in military garb, with all its accessories, even to the glittering sword. But now he has shifted his activities toswell, look at the quotation above and draw your own con- clusions. At any rate, Leo has contributed much to lighten the heavy m burdens of the studious naughty seven by his ready Wit and spontaneity. His French colleagues know how well he can understand French u'okesJ. But Leo has retained his military mienu by vigorously applying himself to gym work, in which he excels in all branches of muscle making, and is now capable of doing a double shuflie with one hand in his pocket. 29 Maxon, Margaret Grierson Annual Staalf. tt Her open eyes desire the truth Although Margaret comes from the chilly State of Wisconsin, her man- ner is not cold. We have had the pleasure of her society for the last two years, and we are certatin it would have been impossible to struggle through without her. She has a. sweet, unselfish disposition. and is ever your true friend. Every Monday theggy appears with llshining morning face, andI we all know she has enjoyed another one of those delightful Saturdays and Sundays. What she does in the interval no one, of course, knows. Margaret is very studious, and it is not her fault When she doesntt know her lessons. Jokes seem to be her hobby. McNelly, A. Ellis Track Team. He was a well red treadl man. Ellis is very fond of Shakespeare, so fond of his puns that we have heard he selected one for his especial benefit. It might interest A. Ellis to know that the aforesaid pun was taken from Shakespearels poem, entitled 23. That McNelly is a deep thinker and a. wise one there can be no doubt. He has 'been known to utter the most profound Latin translations ever heard in Woodward. Once he stood up and exclaimed, ulThey laid him on a large bier tbeerw Now it is only too evident that Ellis was thinking deeply at that timeH Of what he was thinking we will not venture to say. Ellis is a. good, allJround athlete, and when he leaves 016. Woodward there will be great bewailings among the athletic followers of the school. 30 Meier, Ruby Emily i'Buxom, blithe and debonair. This is our center ball enthusiast. She is Captain of the team. and she certainly flllS that oiiice well. But Ruby does everything well. She is the pride of uMademoiselle in the French class, and in her other studies she is equally proficient. It has been a. mystery to us all this year why Ruby is always so anxiOus to go to the chemistry class, and why she is always reluctant to leave the chemistry room. Well, the chemistry room is where we go to find what substances have an affinity for one another. She and her chum, Emily Wagner, are going to Michigan University next year, and there is a. certain girl friend of theirs Who would just love to go with them. Can't you guess who it is? Metzger, Adolph A. Debating Society. uI do not rise to fawn or cringe to this house? Adolph is a little fellow, with a deep bass voice and a. jolly smile several sizes too big for his face, but When that smile comes off, beware, for this is Metzger, the pugnaciohs, from Missouri, demanding to be shown! In the Debating Society Metz neatly convulsed the members by his 'texposition, by example and nby contrastii of the follies of iifanatieit spelling. In the Lab, we are sorry to say, he was one of the few not given to the practice of hookingii test tubes. Let us hope he will improve. But, alas! Metz is such a virtuous youth that we sadly fear he will remain true to the old doc- trine that honesty is the best policy, and if he adheres to this doctrine he can not fulfil his ambitions in life. He wants to be a lawyer. 31 Minor, Gladys Marguerite - Silence hath become her mother tongue. Quiet as she appears in class, that is but one side of a most attractive personality, one trustworthy in friendship, strong, reliant and sincere. Un- fortunately, she has not been as well known as we would like to have had her, for she has been with us only one year. But ever since she joined our ranks she has been faithful in her allegiance to 1907. She has gone to every class meeting, and, accompanied by her faithful attendant, to every school affair. The class of '07 may well be proud of her. Miller, William F . it La ye now! This fellow hmth broken from some abbey. The object of this Annual is to wield the mace against the various stua dents, but in the case of William we are stumped. In fact, there is positively nothing about Which we can knock Miller. Perhaps the only thing that We might say against him is that he once belonged to that 190611.. class, but even this can not affect his good standing among both teachers and pupils. He has not much to say, as a rule, and he never mingles with that bunch of rowdies who are continually playing jokes upon teachers; but he can appre- ciate a good joke, and sometimes his merry, laughing countenance almost obtains for him some demerits. Miller has been known, however, to make a peculiar whining noise which is the bane of the teacher's existence. Willie is a. star French scholar, and can give the principal parts of uAller backwards with his eyes shut. 32 Orebaugh, Evelyn D. 't A companion that is cheerful is worth gold The gayest, merriest girl you ever saw is Evelyn. She has a smile and a pleasant word for every one. Neither tests nor demerits can put a dam- per on her good humor. This explains Evelynts great popularity among the boys and girls of her class. If youtre feeling blue, just talk to Evelyn and your nblueness will disappear. Evelyn took part in the oratorical contest and did splendid Work. In our one rhetorical entertainment her success as Portia, the wife of Brutus, was great, but we don't know whether to attribute it wholl'y to her histrionic ability, for Brutus may have had something to do with it. Mittendorf, Edna K II tt Bright was her face with smiles. Edna is the joy of the college class. She is such a. jolly good girl that no gathering of her class is complete without her. She knows how to play the piano, too. It makes your feet tap the floor to hear her. Any one Who is with her very much can not help noticing that she talks a. great deal about ItDickief' Is uit a canary bird, we wonder? Who dares to ask her? We are very sorry to hear that Edna. is going to leave 01d ttCincy as soon as she graduates, as her parents have already removed to .West Virginia. Any one passing through Williamson, W. Va., needn't be surprised to see her acting the schoolmarm down there. Here's success to you in your un- dertaking, Edna! 33 Pfeifer, Emelie M. There was a. little girl, who had a little curl. A sunny dispositioned girl, Emelie rarely frowns. She takes things as they come, never worrying herself or others over possibilities. Her ever- ready laugh and helpful generosity have gained for her a host of friends. She is such a motherly little person in her sympathies that one soon forgets troubles and cares vanish when Emilie appears with her, Oh, I wouldnit care for such a. little thing! Emilie is not that objectional goodie good, for she has a little temper of her own, not much, but just enough to season her disposition. Her one trouble is her hair, which curls in littleiringlets and persists in falling just when she is diligently studying her chemistry or French. Because she is a hard worker and does nothing by halves, we predict a successful career for Emelie after she has departed for pastures new. Pardi, Helen Elvira Vice-President Class Oracle Staff, Valedictorian. uShe is nothing if not concise. Helen is the most digniiied, yet good-humored, girl to he found. A first glance would convince one that she is proud and distant, but when She smiles and the dimples come she is a darling. She is always laughing and bubbles with witty sayings, and never uses two words when one would do. She could be the shining star of Woodward it' she would study, but there,s the hitch. She usually succumbs to the study fever after exams, then she will study furiously for about a. week. Helen has lofty ambitions, and if the bee which is now buzzing in her bonnet and disturbing her mental equilibrium does not overcome her, we predict for her a very successful career as a. woman suffragist. Up to the present time we can not tell how soon Helen may be able to vote. Pirman, Hilda F. KII tt This then is the proof of a weil-trained mind. For Hilda. is one of our girls who has always maintained a high standard in her studies. She is the only girl of her class who has been fortunate enough and bright enough to obtain a. Mercantile Library card for three successive years. Her friends, however, give her a much higher mark in goodness, sweetness, fun and goodefellowship. She is always ready for any- thing, and wins a hearty welcome wherever she goes. She simply revels CD in gymnastic work. Not very seldom do you catch her shirking, especially if thereis any churning, to be done. But With all these good qualities, nev- ertheless, we hold a grudge against her, for, although she plays the piano beautifully, she absolutely refuses to play for us Iess-gifted mortals. Maybe sheis afraid weill become too conceited if she condescends to gratify our requests. But we hope to get even with her some time in the sweet by and by. Platz, Alma Contented and Ierene. h Alma. is the elocutionist of the ,07 class, and she is an excellent one. Many times she has appeared before the class, and she always has recited with that cool and collected manner so lacking in the rest of us. In the oratorieal contest Alma diti very well, and we are sorry that she was not chosen as one of the participants in the tinal contest. Alma is one of those girls who attends strictly to her own aifairs and who was never known to meddle with any one elseis. She must be very bright, for, though being away from school last year on account of illness, she managed to get into the A Grade by studying diligently during the vacation. 35 Podesta, Octavia Secretary Class, Annual Staff. Young, gay and fortunate. Here is a very attractive young lady, who, as Class Secretary, has done admirable work. In fact, everything she does is done well. Her French is so nearly perfect that she is often suspected of calling upon the gods for assist- ance. We wonder why it is that Ted is forever talking about Michigan University and the grand people who attend it. Ted would like very much to go there next year, but has decided to wait a few more years. and in the meanwhile attend the Cincinnati University. She will probably take up a special branch of chemistry, in Which coal and its by products, coke tKochL etc., are the principal topics for Study. We hope she Will be successful in this study. as we know it is the only thing that interests her. Of course, Ted and her ring do not resemble Saturn and its ring, because the rings are composed of entirely different materials. We only hope that Saturn is as proud of its many rings as Ted is of her one. Pollard, S. Bruce A A, Captain Baseball Team, Swimming Team. 'tBaseball was his forte? We are at a loss for material to apply the hammer on the character of 0111' sturdy baseball Captain. Bruce has always done excellently in his studies, and he had no snap course, either. But he certainly did have an envious period of pleasure, for he was a member of the illustrious College Class, and bade fair to steal several hearts which other classmates aspired to. Bruce always behaved like a gentleman, but was sometimes punished be- cause of his occasional proximity to minor disturbances. Under the lead- ership of the hard-hitting ball player, we are coniident that the Blue will not have the itblues', at the end of the interscholastic season. 36 Qualey, Martha Honore it Her glossy hair did shine on her broad brow. The most meek and lamb-like of maidens. Martha is very persistent and determined in study. There is no Latin nor French translation, no astronom- ical puzzle that Martha Will not attempt and master. Her constancy in the pursuit of study has placed her in the highest regard of teachers and pupils. Most greedy in acquiring knowledge, she is twice as generous in using it to he'ip some less zealous student. Although we do not know how far our assumption may be true, we suppose that she hees from the warming, shriek- ing, howling, singing class on Monday, the third bell, to learn more thor- oughly her lessons. We hope and expect that Martha Will come back to Woodward in the future and generously impart her wondrous knowledge to hard-working Woodwardites of New Woodward, for the fates have certainly decreed that Martha shall be a. schoolma'am. Quinlan, Marie Dolores Annual Staff. ti Her hair is not more sunny them her heartn' Quinnie is the baby of the class, although she sometimes tries to be staid and digniiied. It is impossible, for there never was a. merrier lass. 11? her nationality were not so plainly visible, one could easily infer, from her big heart and may head, that she was Irish. She is always laughing or joking, and putting somebody in a good humor. She is one of the most popular girls in school, arid the pupils often gather around her as thick as bees about a iiower. By the way, she has a i'big B in her bonnet, but she is such a 51y little maid no one would ever guess it from her actions. Her specialty is elocution, and her ability as an actress was proved When. she successfully took the part of Dolly last year, in 'tShe Stoops to Conquer. 37 Reedy, Laura A. K II Majesty doth. from her forehead riseP As far as outward appearance is concerned, one would think that Laura is a very dignified girl. But appearances are often deceptive. So it is with Laura, for those who do not know what fun there is in her do not know her. Her teachers may call her a good student, but with those who are her friends this does not count. What does count with them is the abundant fund of stirring qualities in hep-the good humor and the jollity. True, she hasnit much to say, but when she does say something itis worth hearing, and- her great blue eyes twinkle like stars. The only fault to find with her is that loud CD, deep U0 voice of hers, that makes you tremble to hear it. So, all in all, Laura is a genuine sweet girl graduate. Rardon, Sarah Louise Center Ball. She was a phantom of delight. Judging from the size of her head, shes a tibrainyf' woman. In truth, she can master any study she desires. It has been said that studiousness brings with it beauty, and Sarah studies pretty hard, too. It is to he hoped that this statement will not make her vain, but the accompanying picture will coniirm its truth. Although Sarah refused the aid of the itRiding Club, she got along beautifully with her translations. She was a. most energetic member of the center hall team; however, she was not allowed to have a box because it was so hard for the referee to decide Whether she was in the box or out of it. She would have made an excellent guard if she could have jumped a. few feet more; but, unfortunately, she never could jump but two. Indeed, were it not for this grievous fault, she could well be called an Hangel. 38 Richards, Charlotte C. ti she has the eomeliness of look that. virtue gives. Charlotte joined our class last September. She came from Georgetown, and, although her former fellow-students may miss her greatly, we wouldn't consent to let her return to them. She has made many friends here, both among the students and among the teachers. She has a. very happy dispo- sition, and is fend of sunlight and Day. If we dared, weid say she was quiet, too; but she declares she is nothing of the sort, and so well take her word for it. She has been called a tiroaring lamb? but we have her assur- ance that she'll wake us up so completely some day that wetll drop the lamb part. Rief, William W. Basket Ball, Track Team, Debating Society. ti 0 she promised to meet. ms, t t t For the meaning of. the above, ask Bill; but as it is no secret, and you may as well know now, it is the opening line of his favorite CD song. Per- haps you do not know that Bill is a singer. If you should accompany the basket ball team on any of its trips, you would hear Bill trilling sweetly as the nightingale. Bill is also a chemist, and can tell what substances will turn blue litmus red, how to make parlor matches and what squeezers are used for. Such things are no mystery to him. Will also knows how to crate. In fact, he is quite a debater. Aside from the intellectual qualities Which he possesses, Bill is an athlete. He plays basket ball, runs on the track team and generally catches a. rabbit in the hare-and-hound chase. But there is one thing peculiar about Bill. He is so talkative. This is a great misfortune, because as soon as any teacher hears talking in the room he knows immeiiiately that it was Rief, even if he does blame some one else for it. All in all, Bill is a. good fellow, as all Bills are. and we hope that he may some day startle the world by his discoveries in chemistry, and heap honors upon Old Woodward. 39 Robinson, Mary Rowena Athletic Committee. t'Maiden with the meek eyes. Can you find any one in this grand array of photos Who is quite so meek and innocent looking as our dear Rowena? No, it is impossible. She has a sweet, simple 100k which is admired even by Rare Ben Johnsonti when he says nGive me a look, give me a face, that makes simplicity a grace. But Ben Johnson is not the only one who considers simplicity a. crowning feature. Rowena has several admirers, but we will not mention them here. However, she has more trouble with the powers that be than some of the young ladies who are not so innocent looking. Once upon a time one of. the teachers gave little Row two demerits, hut Row would not report them be- cause she said she did not deserve them. Although Rowis excuses are always pretty good ones, this had not the desired effect, and Row was forced, after some time spent in parleying, to report them. This so cured her of the 'iparley vous habit that she talks very little nowadays. Shall we express joy or sorrow at this? Rowena intends to spend four years at the Western, Where she Will study art, and some day our New Woodward Will probably be adorned with some of her famous paintings. Robb, Katharine M. 0. B., Oracle Staff, Center Ball. There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much had in the best of us, That it hardly behooves any of us, to talk about the rest of my a Kate is hard to beat, for she can talk more and say less in ten minutes than any other girl in the class. For this very reason the boys really enjoy conversing with Silicate. She is extremely popular With the most re- nowned orator Woodward ever knew, and this happy pair may be seen in the lunch room chatting over frivolous affairs almost any day at recess. When the lunch room is not open to the public their little tete-a-tetes are held in Miss Fillmoreis room. To see her now you would imagine she had been brought up in Cincinnati society instead of that classic onehorse town known by the cognomen of Loveland. It is from this town and name that Kate gets her sweet and loving disposition. -Ka.tha.rineis voice is so melodious. so soft and so sweet that when she parts her ruby lips and emits harmonious gurgles on Monday a.m., omnes horrore attoniti sunt.b 40 Rotert, Irene it Her warming voice a. tyre of wildest range, Struck by all passion. Irene is particularly noted for her Latin translations and for her voice. The nice thing about her is that you dorft have to coax her in order to get her to display her talents. She sings solely for the pleashre she derives from doing so. It is rumored that when her high school days are over she intends to go on the stage. If she does so, we all wish her great success, and are coniident that she will win many friends with her sweet face and voice. Irene is a very good Latin scholar, and never refuses to translate the most difficult parts. She was, once upon a. time, in the 190695 class, but in some mysterious manner she returned to the class of tO'I. It was strange how this happened, but let us hope that it was because she has so many friends in WT that it was necessary to come back to them. And those friends rejoiae. Runk, Stanley ii Verity he hath the look of a poetii Stanley came from Hughes just before Christmas, for What reason Wu can not say. But during the little time he has been with us we can say that he knows how to think, as witnessed by his civics and English recite. tions. But Stanley excels in Latin. Some of his translations are wonderful. to say the least, and you may be sure that his fellow-scholars take the oppor- tunity to smile audibly. Our 01115r regret is that he was not with us longer. 41 Schueler, Adeline tt Mirth with thee I want to live. Here is one ray of sunshine. Surely, we may well call her that, for Adeline is always overiiowing With Wit and good humor. The serious prob- lems of life do not bother her, for she sees only the bright side of every- thing. There are some things in Which Adeline excelled. Biblical quota.- tions, for instance, were her hobby, and almost every day the chemistry class would be benetited by one of them. The best of these quotations she gave when she handed back a dreaded examination paper, for upon Seeing her mark she arose and said, Blessed are they that expect little, for they shall not be disappointed. Schwab, 1Abigail E. M. O. B., Oracle StaE. tt Shetll make you laugh. Yes, she certainly Will make you laugh, if you are so fortunate as to be seated near her. She never frowns, not even when she believes that it you dontt have a. good tjme While you are young you never will. But if her teachers become fond of her jolly company they will keep her another year. no matter how she may hate to stay. Abbie always has some remark to make about anything that is said to her, and her perception is so keen that no phase or phrase of a conversation escapes her ever-ready intellect. For this reason she was chosen assistant editor of the locals for the Oracle. In other words, it is her duty to make fun of her classmates and blame it onto some one else, and she certainly knows how to do her duty. Her class; mates will never forget her, for everything worth remembering is in some way connected With Abigail. 42 Scheiffele, Luella Ruth M. O. B., Oracle Stalf. Sweet. be not proud. Luella is one of the fortunatewor, shall we say unfortunates'OBIA; pupils. She left us at the 1st of February, and we have missed her. Her locals were always bright and full of real fun. We think Luella will become a. carpenter or a blacksmithtessi some day, because she is always ready to use her ham- mer, and you know a young lady may enter any profession she may choose in this day and age of the world. If she does not become a. carpenter, she will be a pianist and use the hammer in that way. Luella. is so attractive. that it is said all the magnetic needles point in her direction When she enters the laboratory. The members of the nRiding; Club especially miss Luella, as she never failed in her duties to that organization. Indeed, she even'went so far as to take her favorite steed to school, Which tas in the case of Maryls Iambi was against the rule. Spelman, J.

When he isnlt thinking up some joke, he is playing one-'and so it goes. Hail to the man, I say, who can joke himself through four years of school! Not that Spelman doesnt work, for he does; it is no joke to uboss an Annualf and Spelman il editorsin-chief. Some people may think that all an editor has to do is to wear a. sardonic smile and a pen behind his ear, but. between you and me and the water cooler, I happen to know that Spelman had to buy a gun and a. long knife for the occasion, with which to impress upon his staff the necessity of turning in their work on time. Spelman is also manager and assistant athletic etiitor of the thracle. He was also a, football candi- date, and, although his light weight kept him OK the team, Spelman stayed with the team all season, for which he deserves a great deal of credit. To conclude this sketch, and to show his versatility, let me say that Spelman was never known to play the same joke two days in succession. 43 Stratemeyer, Norma F . Art League. ttNary a word spake she more than was nude. A most sweet and studious maiden, Norma sets an edifying example for all her classmates. She is not a. bit stingy with her knowledge, and her note books have often been the saving element in chemistry. She doesn't belong to the German had set, so she has the admiration of both pupils and teachers. Her pleasant smile and happy cordiality have attracted many cake buyers and milk consumers to the lunch room. There,s only one thing that we donit like about Norma, and that is the fact that she always bobs up from somewhere with her red book in hand, demanding Art League dues When the victim has but one nickel in her pocket and wants ice cream so badly. But Norma has such a kindly disposition that we cant help but think that she Will have a successful career as a kindergarten itTantef, as she has selected this as her vocation in life. Smiley, Stanley 'tWhatis in a name. Smiley is one of those quiet fellows of Whom we hear little, but that little is very good. 011 such a one the hammer falls powerless. But mr-his name! The longest word in the German language is completely eclipsed by it. 'iSamile-y. Venerable chestnut! May it from now on rest in peace, entombed forever in the Annual. But the spirit of Smiley can never be re- pressed. It Will rise, as did Phoenix, and work for the honor and glory of Old Woodward. 44 Traxel, Thusnelda Eva HBeauty unmiorned is adorned the most.n Although the fair Nelda. has, Without a doubt, been smiled upon by the beautiful Venus, she does try to uhelp a. good thing along by bedecking her fair self With the most dazzling of pinSeclass pins, school pins, clothes pins and fooI pins. She seems to count her beloved pins as spoils of. her masculine conquests, for she proudly ShOWS the initials and the dates of the numerous class pins which she wears. Despite her love for pine, every one likes her. She is the founder and advocate of Ye Ancient Order of Daugh- ters of Rest, and we can safely say that none is more deserving of mem- bership in that august order than is the easy-going Nelda. Tobias, Chas. H. M. S., K, K., AA, Captain Swimming Team, Football Team, Track Team, Oracle Staff, Annual Steii', Athletic Committee. A 11011 among indies is a most dreadful thingli The name at the head of this personal will make it a. Mecca, for all the tgirD readers, and we must exert special force twith the hammerl. His real name is Charles Harrison, but his familiar friends know him as Tub? Toby, etc.; but don't you think he has a tubby build because he's called Tub. In fact, the very opposite, for Toby, with the assistance of an excellent tailor, has built up quite a. form, mid the color of his socks is Complementary to the U. S. color of the border of his handkerchief. Now put the appended head on the above described frame and you will have a statue of this youth in heroic size. 45 Volkert, Nora Elsa Annual Staff. Zeal was the spring whence flowed her hardiment. Nora. is exceptionally bright, and she never has been known to waste one minute which could be put to profitable use. Studying is not her only occupation, for she comes to school armed with all sorts of good things to eat, and one can always find her at recess dealing out pickles and iibites to her qievoted uChiqui and Quinnie.n Like a giant in size, she dates on impressing her greatness, both of mind and structure, 011 the little girls, who admire her towering height when it comes to stereopticon view lectures. Very generous in distributing knowledge to her less fortunate friends, every one is desirous of gaining her good favor. Her ability of unraveling Spanish, chemistry and Latin meshes is simply marvelous. We hope to see her a schoolmafam some day, because she has never harmed any one nor has she ever done anything worse than to declare that Dido took her father in her hand and used him for a drinking cup. Thurman, Helen Gertrude H The Darling of the Gods. Yes, we can almost accuse Helen of being the teachersi pet. But why shouldnit she be? For she is everything that a teachers heart would desire. Although we wonder Where Helen gets her wonderful amount of knowl- edge, nobody was surprised last year to see her carry off a Mercantile Library ticket, in compliment to the good work she had done during the year. Helen certainly studies more than the average girl, and it seems to be a pleasure to her rather than a. duty. Indeed, studying is a hobby with her, and, of course, we all carry our hobbies too far sometimes, but, as it is a common fault, we will pardon her. What is nice about Helen is that she can forget her lessons at times and give herself up entirely to pleasure. She possesses In great abundance that which is known as school spirit, for she rooted at all the football games, and her keen interest was shown in everything that pertained to the school. 46 Wagner, Emily M. M. O. B. uMaiden meditation, fancy free. Emily never got into trouble with any of her friends 01' teachers. She always has her lessons well prepared, and she was never greedy or semsh. ,with her knowledge. No matter What time in the day one w0uld go to Emily for help, she was ever ready to give any information she possessed. In the chemical laboratory she did everything in her power to create a disturbance. One day When she could find no other way of disturbing hex: neighbors, she boiled some purple cabbage. The desired result was obtained, and a sort of wash-day odor was wafted upon the air. She can, however, make per- fumes just as loud by making unnameable concoctions of various chemicals, one of which is a. substance Which gives off the audible HZS. Emilyhs ability in chemistry is far superior to that of any one else, and she intends to be- come a chemist of some note after her graduation. Voss, Edith Louise Center Ball. Everyone excels in something? hTis true that every one excels in sbmathing, but there are some who seem to excel in everything, and one of these is Edith. Her tastes Seem to tend toward mathematics, and, just think of it! she has taken up a. branch of this study as an extra, and in the last turn, too! My, she surely will not last long at that rate. But, coupled With her great, love for work is her great love for talking. Her tongue wags continually won't be of- fended, EdithL and her loud CD voice can be heard above every one else's. And how she can knock! She couldnht do it a bit harder with a. hammer, so woe to you if you donht happen to fall into her good graces. To do Edith justice, however, one 'can not overlook her great generosity in distributing her knowledge. She is always ready to lend a helping hand to some poor, unfortunate being who is not as bright as She. She is a wonderful person, for she can do two things at the same time. Rather strange, you say? Yes. I think so, but, as she told it herself, we can not doubt her word. She can recite and study at the same time! If you wish proof of this wonderful feat, accompany her any iirst bell. Those Who come early in the morning can vouch for her ability to make delicious candy. 47 Watt, Nellie Harford ti 0f manners gentle, or affections mild. We donit exactly consider Nellie a. Hgrind, but she is certainly very studi- ous. It seems that her highest ambition is to have her lessons perfectly prepared. Nevertheless, she constantly bewails the fact that they are not. Goodness! if tall Seniors prepared their lessons as well as Nellie does they would be looking for their Wings directly. If a. few more Woodwardites had her ability to apply themselves to study, average scholarship would take a jump, and some 01' the pupils who are now their teachers' despair would become the joy of those worthios. Every girl is Nellie's friend, and after the class of ,07 has left Woodward to its successors, every member Will 're- member Nellie Watt With pleasure. Walther, Elmore E. Debating Society. ti He was an artist or great note.n Since Miss Armstrong took to calling Elmore Emil, he has been trying his best to persuade himself and others that he is an incurable cynic. Alas for the attempt! The gentle curl of his lip and the still gentler curl of his hair proclaim the contrary. It is rumored that Emil can draw beauti- fully, and we more than half believe the rumor is true. As to his drawing. WitneSs a. performance similar to the one he gave at the Christmas enter- tainment, When he drew quite a bevy of girls about the piano. Witness also our calendar design. 48 Wayble, Oma Blanche h 1118 sweet. Blanche is admired by all who know her, and is loved for her ready Wit and perpetual good cheer. The teachers especially like Blanche, because she always has her lessons perfectly prepared before she comes to school in the morning. She is the most brilliant Latin scholar Woodward ever had the honor of graduating. She is a shining, scintillating, twinkling star in the ancient language, and she fully intends to continue herr Latin studies next year. Finally, she Will publish transiations for the beneiit of young Latin pupils, for she realizes how diiiicult it is to get along without the aid of these little beasts of burden. Blanehek merits are greatly to her credit, but her demerits are to her discredit. Now the question is, Which are most in evi dence? We will leave this for the final returns to settle. Blanche is one of the most popular young damsels at Woodward, and we are sure that when Blanche goes to Western next year she Will be quite as pepular as she has been at Old Woodward. Weber, Edwin W. President Debating Society, Oracle Staff. And e'en though vanquished he could argue still. Here is a youth who has such a. reputation for gravity and dignity of deportment that it seems quite a reckless feat to call him Ed. This feat once achieved, however, you will hnd him a. conscientious fellow with hne qualities. In spite of his success as President of the D. S., some of the meme hers rudely say that his greatest service to the club was rendered one day When he threw the casting vote carrying a motion to adjourn. But Ed is not afraid or such critics, nor tbelieve mei of the girlseat least not of one co-ed. 49 Weber, Alma F- K. II. Is she not more than painting can express, or youthful poets fancy when they love. Ah, here is our violinist! Although Alma is a. little mite, and not much larger than her bow, she can use that how to good advantage, and make her fellow-students proud because they have such an accomplished person in their class. Don't attempt to make eyes at Alma. If you do, sheill freeze you. She is noted for this power. Sometimes she is as cold as an iceberg, but there is some oneewe all know Who he ise-Who always tries to melt her by showering her with compliments. Now, Alma, don't be angry if we compose a little verse about you: Youire the maid With just the winning smile, You're the girl With just the proper style, You have just the eyes, and ymfre just the size, So youire just the girl heis sure to prize. Weiland, Benj. I HGreek could he spout teen from the battlementsii Benjamin Weiland, this young disciple of Xenophon. has passed ye four years at ye 01d Woodward, has been crowned With everlasting glory. He is a member of that illustrious college class in which none but the stars of the lir'st magnitude can be found. His grammatical translations have been particularly edifying, and, indeed, sometimes most entertaining to his au- ditors. Benny is to be congratulated for holding so tenaciously to his posi- tion in the triumvirate among so many puellas. What vocation he intends to follow is not known, but we Will certainly admit that he will succeed in any branch he decides to follow. 50 Westerkamp, Irma Rosina t We eat to live, not live to eat. Fair denizen of the lunch room! Think of a passing fair, stout little maiden, holding three sandwiches under her arm, a. plate of meat pie in her hand, five pretzels in her pocket, a piece of cake in the other hand and a. nickel between her teeth, and asking for strawberry ice cream. When Irma is not eating tvery seldoml she talks much and studies some. She is always laughing and never in a bad humor. Although she is not as bad as some of her classmates, shels far from being a. goodie-good. She always wants company, and thents when the trouble begins, for she keeps the girls giggling, and the rewards are demerits. Some day Irma. will be chief cook in her own realm, and then she can fully satisfy her own craving, and perhaps some one elsels love for dainty things. Werner, Carl C. Editor of Oracle, Debating Society, Annual Staff. tl I am 811' Oracle, when I ope my lips let. no dog hark. Here is a youth who, by his quiet manner and agreeable disposition, has won the hearts of all the pupils of the school, including both sexes. He is the editor of the HOracle, and under his management that paper has built up a world-wide reputation. Werner has ruled his humble stah with a hand 0f iron, and, in consequence, all material for the representative sheet of Woodward was in two months ahead of time. Werner is quite an artist, and the Annual abounds with many examples of his artistic temperament. Wer- ner was forced to leave school before the end of the term, but he will be with us at graduation, and, therefore, we Will all rejoice. 51 Wilking, J osie iGive thy thoughts no tongue? A maiden never hold, so quiet that she blushes at her own shadow. We donit know Whether waive quoted correctly, but the above describes Miss Wilking. Josie 11am! please remember that it isnit Josephinej: is one of the shining lights that went out in February, but she has paid us a few visits since then. But this isnit a character sketch. It you know Jo, you know a very quiet girl, but not so quiet that she canit appreciate fun and a. good time. She is studious isometimesi, but her shyness often prevents her from making evident the results of her study. She is very fond of music, and is herself quite a. musician. Zimpelman, Barbara Margaret 'JIt is tranquil people who accomplish much. Divinely tall is she! One might almost say, nthere are giants in these days. But her work is in proportion to her height. She is never in a hurry, but takes things as they come, finishing one before she thinks of the next. She seems to be very fond of chemistry. In her recent researches in this branch of science she has discovered a. new element. It is an efferves- cent giggle, which bubbles up unrestrained whenever she is around. She ex- pects to go to business college on leaving school. 52 X -:::::.:: X X g 4 OFFICERS ; HERBERT GUELKER ................................... President.

Inasmuch as Old Woodward Will be torn down during the coming vacation, the same fate awaits them next year. However, we hope to see them complete their course in the wNew Woodward, an honor which will greatly compensate them for all present in- conveniences. '0', 7'. - 'r - a D A SCHdOL A .

Athletic Carnival, winning one silver cup in the Although handicapped by the loss of several of our best ath- letes, who have graduated, we have done wonderfully well in the athletic events in which we have participated. These successes have been due, hrst, to the fact that. the boys entered the events With the right kind of spirit; secondly, that the faculty has lent its aid to athletics in all forms. thus greatly encouraging the boys. The football team was the first to be organized. It made a very good record, considering that several of our best men had been ruled off the team on account of poor scholarship. In the eight games played we were defeated three times, our victors being the three strongest teams in the city. Every student in the school should be proud of our basket ball team, which, captained by Mr. Bowyer, has to its credit an un- broken chain of victories, having not met with one defeat. By de- feating Blanchester we gained the championship of Ohio, as Blan- chester had already defeated Columbus, the former champions. In the Cincinnati Gym Midwinter Carnival, Woodward was en- tered in the Intermediate and Interscholastic relay races, and in the fifty-yard Interscholastic dash. Although we did not win any cups for the school, we won several medals, coming second in the Interscholastic and Intermediate relay, and third in the fifty-yard dash. Our victors in two of the events were men representing the Louisville Technical School. In track events we attained the greatest success of the season 82 Interscholastic relay, and eleven medals in other events. By win: hing the Interscholastic relay, coming second in the Intermediate and Junior Relays, and third in the fifty-yard Interscholastic dash, we were credited with twelve points to our high school opponents: nothing. Another cup has been added to our collection by our swimming team, which defeated Walnut Hills and Hughes in the Interscholas- tic relay race, held in the Cincinnati Gynfs plunge. We showed our mastery by getting the lead at the start and keeping it through- out the race. The baseball season is open, and from all indications old Wood- ward will be represented on the diamond by one of the strongest hall teams ever pht out by the school. The infield and outheld are both stronger than ever, though the pitching staff has not yet rounded into shape. It is hard to get a line on the pitching staff so early in the season, but we expect to have it in tip-top condition in time for the first Interscholastic game. If we do we shall have one of the strongest teams in the city, and will win the Interscholastic championship. From all appearances we have a very good chance to make the next Interscholastic held day a day of pleasure and victory for Old Woodward. If we do, it will make the fourth straight victory over the other two high schools. .ua x1..u3.. d$ .. ,w 9 ' 1 :$ 9 ' ' :.3.$83 $43.3. wk. . g $55? 9 . s v . ,- $ 3.9 c 0 $ $504 ' . $ J VVK ,c .y' +X$ $$2 I Vxx 5 z 6 rxx;x xxz 2 , .; r Izzz a lzz y a, xxx .4 ffullflflf VIJ Aha ; H1. fr it a K 36?an Clzxrx f ,xIW x x I'Krrz, a Q x x x.

IN MEMORIAM Mnnhmarh Olahrm J; v-7 . 7.. x- Late in the evening of May 16, while sitting in my chair, I fell into a sound sleep, but was not allowed to enjoy it long. A hand was laid heavily on my shoulder, and I awoke with a start. There stood the class of Naughty Seven, weak and tottering With age. What is it? I gasped. rKAs I have but one more day to live, I thought it would be best to make my last will and testament tonight, so that, if I still have strength enough left, I may enjoy tomorrow. 17But I am not a lawyer; I know nothing about wills, I protested. Never mind; if you write what I tell you everything Will be all right, Well, I sighed. I was very tired; I wished Naughty Seven hadn't disturbed me, but I acquiesced to the inevitable. ttFirst, youtd better put in something about my being in full possession of my mental faculties, of sane mind and all that. Thalia the way to begin, I believe. I wrote as I was told, but I had my doubts as to the truth as Naughty Sevenls sanity. ttMueh against my will, continued my strange client. I leave 015:1 Woodward to the mercy of the constructors and destructors, who will soon tear it down; but warn them to remember that every stone is sacred, and that they must handle it with care. If they did anything else, thought Lit would fall to pieces of its own accord. Whatts next? I asked, aloud. HI leave to New Woodward the spirit of the 01d, all our cups and banners, all our pictures and traditions, asking that they never violate any of them. I scratched away rapidly.

It is sacred and Woodwardis special property. I have a few personal things which I'd like to leave to some of the pupils of the school, but I don't know who would want to accept them. For instance, there's Dana. Burnetts taste in neck- ties; I cant imagine who would want that; and Walter Dayts blushes. Spelmanis unusually large head; Charlie Hoiiingts tutter lack of sentimentality;' Leonard Bowyeris ability at grafting; Abbie Schwabls ability at getting demerits, and Adeline Schuelerts for gig- gling. All these I can't very well get rid of, so I guess I'll have to take them with me to the grave. Oh, dear! such is life.

Naughty Seven had disappeared, but there on the desk before me lay a. neatly written document, duly signed and witnessed. It was the will of Naughty Seven. 'Fear not the HELEN E. PARDI In our pride and love for our country we call it the 'Land of the Free, but there exists one class among its inhabitants whose condition does not justify the name. That class is the army of helpless, hopeless little children Whom misfortune or greed has forced into the mills, factories, mines and sweat shops of this nation. The existence of this evil of child labor has been known for many years, but the lack of adequate statistics in the past has But within the last few years noted men and women all over the country have made it impossible to express in figures its extent. been investigating, and giving the results of their investigations to the reading public; facts, data and statistics have been collected, and periodicals of established reputation have published informatitm on the matter, with the result that it would be hard to find a read. ing man or woman Who has not read a long series of statistics and examples. I shall not relate any of them now. We know of this evil, but do we realize its seriousness? Do we realize its horror and magnitude, and its danger to the nation? We are accustomed to think of childhood as a period of thought- less, care-free happiness. We like to think of children as occupying their time with moderate study, play and laughter. I can imagine some self-made heater saying. Such a childhood is not always the best thing. I worked when I was a. child, and it did me good. tiBut, I say, did you work in a coal breaker for twelve hours a day? Did you sit in darkness in the same cramped position, breath- ing an atmosPhere of heavy black coal dust, picking slack from the coal with your bare hands all day? Or, if you are a woman, let me ask whether your childhood was spent in the steaming room of a flax mill, where little girls stood barefooted in pools of water, twist- ing coils of wet hemp all day long in a. superheated room, filled with clouds of steam, under conditions which made it necessary to throw cold water in your face to keep you from falling to sleep over your task? I do not think I get an aflirmative answer, for a. childhood like this does not bring success in maturity. But these are the examples of the lives of thousands of children. The census of 1900 shows there were twenty-flve thousand boys under sixteen years of age employed in and around the quarries of the United States. The law forbids the employment of children under fourteen, yet. in May, 1905. an investigation by the National Child La- bor Committee showed that in one small borough of seven thousand population, among the boys employed in breakers, thirty-five were nine 103 years old, forty were ten and fortyefive were eleven-over one hundred anti fifty boys illegally employed in one kind of boy labor in one small town! Let me give Mr. Kellogg Durandis description of the work these boys do as it appeared in the Outlook? the high qual- ity 01! whose articles is well known to the reading public. Mr. Durand says: When the coal comes up out of the mines, it is sent to the towering breakers and run through a series of sifting and sorting troughs, astride of which the boys sit, their little backs bent over the streams of moving coal as with their bare hands they pick the stone and refuse from the good coal. The iingers soon become scarred and callous, and the nails worn and broken to the quick. Fine particles of coal dust iili the air and are taken into the lungs with every breath. The tissues of the boys lungs gather the black specks until the whole ulung is disclosed. I have seen men who have been away from the breakers for eight or ten years cough up these particles whenever they were attacked by a. slight cold. When we think of work like this being performed by a tender child of nine, our hearts bleed, for we are men and women, and our sympathies go out to the poor little individual; but there is at stake at far graver issue than the welfare of the individual. It is the welfare of the nation! For the welfare of this republic depends upon the physical, mental and moral strength of its people. The million children now at work in this country are the future citi- zens of this republic. How can we expect them to be mentally competent to decide the great questions that will arise, and be physically competent to uphold those decisions, when we allow their minds to be entirely neglected, and their bodies stunted and weakened by overworking them as children, in mines, mills and sweatshops? We might as reasonably expect to reap wheat hy sow- ing salt. A signiiicant proof of the truth of the adage which says that uIn leading a child we may be commanding an army? was furnished at the outbreak of the Boer War, when England sent the poorest army she had ever sent to a battle field. Perhaps you will remem- ber the accounts of ................................. for the Eng- lish service. 01! the men recruited and would-he recruits, thirty per cent were rejected for physical inferiority. The Director Gen: eral says that from forty to sixty per cent of all the soldiers sent to South Africa were unfit for service. It is not surprising, then, that British statesmen were startled when they realized that, With a. population of forty millions, England was having a. hard time to raise an army of three hundred and twenty thousand, to meet twenty-eight thousand Boer farmers. An investigation was begun, and it was found that the physical deterioration was due directly to poverty, insuilicient nourishment, overcrowding and inherited Further investigation showed that these evils began one hundred and iifty years ago, with the invention of the spinning tendencies. machine. When factories sprang up in England as the result of this invention, the owners recognized the advantage to themselves in employing children. They were quick at the work, eaten:r man- aged, and, best of all, the3r were cheap. So they employed children, with no thought of the consequence, until they were confronted, one hundred and iifty years later, by the question of raising an army from a population of weaklings. History shows that it is the times of great expansion that have produced the greatest moral recklessness. Our countryr today Prog- ressii is our watchword; to progress seems to be the predominant is enjoying greater industrial expansion than ever before. American characteristic. And we are proud of it; but let us be rational and weigh carefully,r this question as to which is the more important. the factory or the child. To become the greatest indus- trial nation of the earth by means of. sacrificing the brain and blood of children is to attain an end which can never be justiiied by 104 the means. And is the work of children necessary to the develop- Not at all. Ohio is being profitably conducted Without the labor of children. Therefore, Why should we allow this disease of child labor, which ment of our industries? The largest glass house in is consuming the stamina of our country, to become incurable? Why not apply the remedy while it is practicable? 'rAnd what is this remedy? you may ask. One short sentence answers you. It is, See that the proper laws are placed on the statute books, and see to it that they be enforced. I repeat, that they be enforced, for legislation on the labor of children in the various States is comparatively good; in some States it is almost But the enforcement of the law is far from what it should This is If one State passes good lame and ideal. be. not only reasonable, but just. Laws on this most vital question should be national. enforces them, and a neighboring State does not, the business men in the former State are at a business disadvantage, and suffer from the very righteousness of their State's laws, while the busid ness man of the neighboring State profits by the very wickedness of his States law. in championing this cause, 1 assert that while there are other With, there is, In my important subjects for this country to deal opinion. none so vital as this great human evil, which involves the degeneracy of American citizenship and the deterioration of this republic as a nation. This country was not established to retrograde. We are living in an age whose demands are Onward, Upward! It was for this reason that the War of 1776 was fought, that war which revolu. tionized the former worldis governmental powers, which instituted a republic with the grandest ideal ever before offered to humanity. For this, since that glorious movement, our heroes have given their lives in the wars of this country; for this our Presidents have been striving to make their administrations more reflective of this ideal than did their predecessors, and it is for this, then, that protective laws should be enacted, that our statesmen should plan and our people should strive so as to enable us to make our nation worthy the enviable position which she occupies today. Let us by united effort hasten the emancipation of childhood from economic servitude, in order to make our country still surer of this splendid destiny. Let us stop the murder of American chil- dren, and the ruin of future American citizens; let us see to it that this shall be a republic of free and equal men and women, a a nation Whose power is nation of strong, pure human beings; glorified by its justice. 105 Mercury was at my side. For two long days we had been jour- neying, but the gates of Hades were yet far off. Mercury was very loquacious, and told me about many mortals whom he had accom- panied t0 the Lower Regions. Suddenly I was struck by an ideae perhaps my guide could tell me the fate of some of my former friends of Old Woodward. At first I was puzzled. Who were in that class of t07? I began to run through the alphabet-A. But I could not think of any name beginning With A. Then B-Beddoe, of course. I summoned up courage; at least I thought I had, and said to my natus dea guide: uHave you ever met BeddoeeStanley Beddoe, a relative of the illustrious Daniel Beddoe? HBeddoe has already trod this path, and he is now in Purgatory. His smiling countenance and his mel- The king of the In- ferno has promised to give him but little punishment. ttYesP answered Mercury. 10w voice have tevenI moved Piuto himself. My hrst question had been received with grace; I ventured a second. dHave you ever accompanied William Reif, who in the upper world was a. professor of German at the COVington Univer- sitYip' From the expression upon Mercurye countenance it was evident With tears coming 106 that Billts fate in the Inferno was most cruel. to his eyes, Mercury sadly replied: Yes, Reif is now paying a. terri- ble penalty. Because he belonged to a debating society, he must for a century write compositions and five-hundred-word themes. 1- still shudder at the thought of the cruel penalty. I tried to think of the others of the '07 class. Ben Wetland came to my mind. Mercury told me that Ben Weiland had been sent He recited the Iliad to Pluto. Pluto can never resist that display of classical learning, and has sent at once to the Elysian Fields. Stanley Smiley also to the land of the happy, because he too had recited the Iliad to the satisfaction of the potentate of the Inferno. Finally we were near the mouth of Hades. The lugubrious wail- ing from the pit seemed to say, ttLeave all hope behind, ye who enter heref' At the portals of the Hereafter we were confronted by the dog Cerebus; but Mercury was not to be foiled by that boisterous canine. He threw to the ravenous beast a Prattts dog biscuit, coated with Mrs. Winslowts soothing syrup. The syrup did its work at once. Cerebus was lulled into the sleep of an innocent babe. Thence we entered the Hereafter. After wandering through the gloom, Mercury informed me that we were in the vicinity of the Styx. The fumes of sulphur dioxide emanating from that hateful stream not only made the mucous membrane of my nasal cavity smart, but brought scenes of the Woodward Lab to mind, and I knew that the Knights of the Lab and the Nymphs 0f the Cooking Class must be near. As I was walking about a tall shade aproaehed me. Lo! it was the shade of J. Dillon Spelman. He knew me, said uha, haff and took me into his charge. But, alas! he was not the same old Spel- man, for just that morning he had learned his punishment in the Inferno. For twenty-three long centuries he was to be chained, with a bag of pepper around his neck, before a phonograph, which con- tinually repeated ha, ha. I became apprehensive of my life in the Hereafter, and asked Spelman where I could learn my fate. Well go to the telegraph operator, was Screwts doleful reply. Ecceethere was Runck, sending wireless messages to Olympus. Because he had damaged many electrieal novelties in his infancy or rather boyhood, he was forced to serve the gods in this manner. i asked R11an to telegraph to Olympus to ascertain what was to he the punishment of Howard Dock tacting under the advice which Mercury had given met. While waiting for the reply Runck told me that Gaddum was also in the employment of the gods. He was assisting Pluto in inhicting punishments, having been just appointed to this post of honor that he might be allowed to execute vengeance on those who had made life wretched for him on account of his hair. Tobias had been given most delightful employment; he was Cupid's assistant. Tobias formulated the amorous plots and Cupid executed them. It is not to be doubted that he was competent. In a few minutes Runck handed me my verdict, which he had received from Olympus. It read as follows: ttOne century of torture under the falling rock for putting a button into the contribution box, hfty years hanging on a strap, because you refused to give a lady your seat on a Highland Avenue car; fifty years of torture, near the fiery furnace, with the fumes of burning rags, because you smoked a. cigarette before you attained the age of thirty. Lets go to the Styxf was all that I could say after I had re- ceived this cheerful message. While we were wending our way to the river, Spelman told me that only a few of the boys from i07 were remaining on the other bank of the river. Werner had not yet come. His daily uSpectators. were still the delight of those who breathed the vital air. Weber had also been granted a long and illustrious life. Spelmanis details concerning Mr. Weber were not essential, for I had often heard of our oratorical friend, who in later years was known as HUncle Joe II. Haehhle had been carried across the During life he had been a good, and, indeed, a useful citizen, known as M. Haehnle, Chef, Waldorf. river with little opposition. I found that my companion, Spelman, was well stocked with news concerning his classmates, and I begged him to continue. Miller was next On the list. According to Screw, Miller had enlight- ened humanity during his illustrious career as a Methodist minister. After his death a tablet of fame was erected to his name at Ohio Wesleyan. Hammel had also been a useful citizen. Spelmau was not cer- tain as to the nature of Hammelis career, but he said that he had read in the War Cry that Prof. Hammel, of the Carnegie Institute, had published a book entitled Easy French Prose for Beginners? Miller, Haehnle and Hammel were now wood nymphs in the Elysian Fields. Spelman was going to tell me about Pollard, but I told him that I was already acquainted with his career. His name, as President of the National League, was not unknown to any who had ever glanced at the pink sheet. By this time we had arrived at the banks of the river Styx. Be- hold! there Hoiiing, Burnet, Joslin and Elstun were excitedly play- ing ttTiddledy Winks. tiNow well just have enough for a game of poker, cried Burnett, as I asked Burnet what his Imagine the commotiOn when I arrived. he saw me, now a shade, approaching. 107 fate was. His countenance was most dismal, when he said: hTwenty years on the fiery steed, because one night, when I had a sick head- ache, I made use of a. small green book? Hoiiing saw that I was about to ask him, and so he began before I had put my question to him: ttThirty years under the iiying rolling pin, because I was married twice, and lees misery in Purgatory be- cause I was an M.D. This was enough. I did not think it polite to question the others. While we were playing excitedly a messenger tnot Cupidi ar- rived, and informed us that Charon would be ready in a few minutes. Joyfuiiy we hastened to the bank. But, 10! Charon was not in an iron-colored boat, made out of seven hides, but he was proudly standing in the prow of a. toppy little motor boat. Nor was Charon as Vergil had described him. His mustache was trimmed a la Caruso, and it could be seen plainly that his chin had been shaved with a. safety razor 024 shaves without rehoningh. A thin, listless shade was gazing at the name of the ship, Fero Le ad ignem, With scrutinizing gaze. To him the name was mean- 108 L0! it was Walther. He said he could not find the mean- ing of that funny word feroteadignem in his pocket dictionary, 1101' had he ever seen it in any of his numerous spelling books. ingless. Then we entered Charon's craft. To our surprise, Bowyer and Dodds were sitting in the stern of the boat, hotly arguing a game of basket ball. While we were going across the river, Bowyer told me that he had been condemned to much suffering, because he had worn a suspicious expression in an exam, but he had slipped a wooden nickel in Charonis pocket, hence his early transportation. Bowyer told me that Funke had not been carried across the river, but, like Ganymedes, was carried away by an eagle, to become the cupbearer of the gods. Dodds remarked that he had seen Leo Majoewsky, who was searching the banks in quest of his brother. Even after death these brothers had difficulty in finding one another. Merciless Pluto tore me away from my companions and bore me to the torture We had reached the other bank of the river. chamber. 1 ,Andriessen, Hortense, 116 Parker St. Beddoe, Stanley, Mt. Auburn.
