On the morning of the seventh of September, 1903, our class hrst made its acquaintance with Woodward High School. 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
