Since that year every Senior Class has tried to put forth a vol- ume which should be a credit not only to the class, but to the school, so that the llAnnuaP, in after life, might be a strong tie which would bind the graduates of our school to their old student memories. And such a tie do we want our llAnnuaP, to be,-an ever-welcome medium, whereby we can all, in after life, become once more students together; whereby we can once more stroll those beloved halls, joined in a comradeship which can never more come to us in reality. The labor of love, as this volume has been, is now finished; and not with thankfulness, but with regret, do we lay aside our task, for we realize that much within it is crude,-much has been left undone. But if, in spite of all its faults, this iiAnnual fulfills our hopes in preserving a lasting comradeship between us all,-then shall we feel amply rewarded. TO WOODWARD S TIRELESS SERVANT OF FORTY-ONE YEARS PROF. WILLIAM H. PABODIE WE RESPECTFULLY DEDICATE THE ANNUAL 1911 WOODWARD HIGH SCHOOL Its History and Its Purpose ROM the earliest settlement of the State of Ohio, provision for education has been made in Cincinnati by the grant of the public lands, as specified in the Ordinance of 1787, by many individual donations, and by much private effort. Among those schools which came into existence through individual donation, was Woodward High School, amply en- dowed by the man whose name it bears, William Woodward. As early as the year 1819, Mr. WoodwardIS attention was attracted to the matter of schools for poor children, but his first actual move in this direction was not made until 1826. In that year he conveyed in trust to Samuel Lewis and his nephew Osmond Cogswell, a valuable tract of land, containing some seven acres, for the support of a free grammar school. This tract being on Sycamore Street, near the present site of Hunt Street, was divided by the trustees into suitable building lots, which were then leased, subject to a re-valuation every fif- teen years. In 1830, Woodward modified the trust so as to allow the trustees to establish a high school, and on December 16th of the same year, gave over an acre more for the building lot. On this lot, by means of the funds accumulated after several years from the ground rent, the Woodward school building of 1831 was erected. In this two-story brick building of four rooms, the first session of Woodward High School was held on October 24, 1831. Ten years later the house was enlarged by the addition of a third story, and in this the high school of 1841 began its work. Time passed, and the charter was surrendered. So, in 51, the school was made part 01' the public system, under the Union Board of High Schools. But now the Woodward 0f 11 became a thing of the past, for in 1885 a larger and more convenient structure was be- gun. Two years later, the new Woodward stood completed, a noble specimen of Gothic architecture and a splendid monu- ment of learning. For fifteen years it lived, nobly accomplish- ing its work and pouring forth from its walls influence far and wide. And then it, too, vanished to exist only in one colony of the school; and then, later on, another was formed. And so, to afford room for a larger school, Woodward of 1885 was torn down. From 1907 to 1910 the children of Woodward were without a true home, taking up quarters in the Second and Third Intermediate Schools. But in the fall of the year 1910 the wanderers entered the open doors of the ttNew Wood- ward ithe school of to-day and 0f the long future, an impos- ing modern structure of one hundred and fifty-four rooms, replete with every modern convenience and requisite necessarv to the gaining of a substantial and useful high school edu- cation. To an honored alumnus, Gustav W. Drach, I79, belongs the credit for the magnificent design of this handsome new home of ours. In every conceivable detail does his wonderful skill show forth, and the building stands now as a monument 02 his architectural designing which shall live to do him honor for years to come. To thoroughly describe the building of to-day, would oc- cupy too much space. But why does it exist to-day, what does it stands for and what are its purposes and ideals? These questions confront us; and to answer them, it will be nec- essary to review the real and inward history of the school, even from its modest beginning. In conformity to Mr. Woodwardls wishes, children who had no parents able to provide for their instruction or whose par- ents or relatives refused to do so, were admitted to his insti- tution, for it was recognized in those rough and hardy days of the western communities by nearly all men who had been fortunate enough to receive some education, that man must not live by bread alone; that there was something in life be- yond the mere earning of food, which brought only physical development. They realized that there was a great necessity for intellectual enlightenment, that would cause a man to see above the earth, filling him with a respect for himself, the community and its obligations upon him, and a desire for the respect of his fellow-men. These ideas were felt by Wil- liam Woodward and were embodied in the school which he founded. In looking over the activities of the school, it is evident that the Woodwardites led in many movements that lend to create a healthy, strong, patriotic and loyal manhood and wo- manhood. Athletics were carried on. Football was popu- larized in this section of the country by the Woodward boys. The cadets were organized in 1893, although military train- ing had long existed in the school. Loyalty to its founder was expressed in Founder's Day, first celebrated in 1893. The Art League having for its object the beautifying of the school in- terior, was established in 1902. There were many other ae- tivities carried on, all issuing from the true and energetic spirit filling the Woodward hearts. Even of the movements for higher education in this city she was the cradle, for in the building that recently passed away, the University of Cincinnati held its first meetings, and the instruction was given by Woodward teachers. And her graduates, what about them? They who passed out into the larger world, after four years of honest toil, were in the truest sense men and women. To them had been given an enduring and beneficial knowledge and culture which would.guarantee influence, respect and the confidence of their fellow-citizens. They were ready to meet responsibil- ities and fulfill their duties, and prepared to enter into an honorable civil and mercantile life. And we have but to look and see that ttOld Woodwardi, that has passed away did not fail in her object and ideals. Thru those to whom she is endeared her influence has reached into all parts. Many have attained high positions in this country; even the high- est and most honorable place is to-day filled by one of her graduates. And what higher spirit of enthusiasm and patriot- ism for ones country could have been expressed by the uboys ot' Woodward than that when their fatherland was in danger of disruption, they should form a company of soldiers and enter into war, and aid in reuniting their divided country; while during the same period the ttgirlsii of Woodward, too, were actively, thot silently engaged in working for the same end. Such graduates did ttOId Woodward produce. But within the last few years, there has come about a great change in educational ideals. A great civic conscious- ness has awakened, a consciousness Which recognizes more strongly than ever the conditions of the country, and whose attempts are manifold. For business it desires an ever-in- creasing morality and honesty; it would have an ever-growing care for the life, health and welfare of man; it would substi- tute honesty for greed, and civic righteousness for corruption; ein brief, it would strive for the upbuilding of a true and real citizenship. This nation can not exist without a founda- tion of sane, strong, pure'men and women; it must be a nation of clean and wholesome homes. Therefore, realizing that the place next to the home and in many instances more important than the home, where alone such ideals can be accomplished, is the school, it has to-day intrusted to that institution this great opportunity of the countryis salvation. Furthermore, in recent years of our own lives there has been a great and marked progress along industrial lines and many branches of industry have arisen and developed. Consequently, educa- tional leaders have introduced into school, particularly high school, industrial, commercial and domestic training as nec- essary parts. The optional course, the course in which one can choose for himself what studies are best for developing the tendencies within'him, has been adopted in the high school. What, then, are the attempts and ideals of the new Woodr ward, under the new educational system, for to-day and the future? The first thought in this direction will show the ne- cessity of stimulating a civic consciousness. And this indeed is the work to-day and will be in the coming years of the new school, a work whose end is the making of a nation. Woodwardk citizens of four years will graduate as so- cially efficient men and women, ready for the greater citizen- ship. For not only will they have passed under its cultural influences, but they will have been given such learning and training as will enable them to make an honest and honorable living. For, through the vocational training, some may enter a vocational life and strive even for the highest office in this country, or may pursue a more advanced education in a higher institution of learning. The industrial training prepares some for a specific trade, for toil in the shops amid the busy hum of machinery and the noise of the hammer. Equipped for the intricate financial and business world are the commercial grad- uates; while entering into domestic life are they who have ful- filled the four years of the domestic science course, who must aid in making the home homef' and the institution it should be and the unit of our nation. All are members of one great body, the United States; but each has his own place and use, and is necessary to the perfection of that body. But above this matter of earning a living, Woodward places the teaching of unselfishness and help to others, believing that there must be a generous offer of what one has to bene- fit all with whom contact is made. To-day it is known how dependent men are upon one another for health, happiness and general welfare. Woodward has taken upon herself to impress this truth and to teach her students so to conduct themselves that their immediate community may be made better in life, health and citizenship, that thru these com- munities thlis benefited, the best principles of living may be extended farther and farther. And so does Woodward High School of to-day endeavor to fulfill her inspiring watchword and motto, tiEsse quam viderif, To Be Rather Than to Seem? FREDERICK FRANZ.

As we were crowded together on the first day of school, in the gymnasium of the Third Intermediate building, a great as- sembly of excited children, eager for the mysteries of High School to be unfolded to us, nobody would have taken us for anything but Fresh- men. By the second day we were, for the most part, fairly estab- lished in classes. The change of rooms and teachers, at the ringing of a bell, offered, through its novelty, a never-failing source of delight. It was in the little intermissions between the Changing of rooms that we were initiated into the horrors of demerits-horrors because they deprived us of another new delight of High School, that of going home early. Everything was going smoothly and happily. Every day at noon we would rush to Baueris with ravenous appetites. Then all of a sudden, into the midst of our joyous numbers sprang that dread monster, examinations, sparing some and devouring others. Twelve times we have encountered that terrible monster; but, although we have often since quaked with fear before him, never have we felt ourselves in the throes of such absolute terror as that which we experienced on those memorable days of November four years ago. The rest of our year, although happy, was uneventful ex- cept for the occasional visit of Mr. Lyon or a representative of the ttOracle, who would urge us to contribute to that paper, greatly respected among us, but seldom seen. Our school patriotism was not greatly aroused until we attended the field meet in May, and then we were truly glad that we were pupils of Woodward. Isolated from the rest of the school as we were in the Third Intermediate building, we did not really know what it was to be overpowered by pupils of higher grades. It was in the ttC Grade that we found out how insignificant we were. The second year found us in the Ninth Street building and in very crowded quarters. This year is a memorable one, inasmuch as we were allowed for the first time to attend the Foundefs Day exercises, and the Oratorical Contest. But by far the most exciting event was the laying of the corner- stone of the new Woodward, by President Taft, of the class of '74. On this occasion, our girls and many of our boys had their first experience in marching in a parade. Led by the boys, afterward known as the thoodward Taft Guard? we went to Government Square to meet the President, whom we escorted in triumph to the site of the days exercises. We were able to give unrestrained vent to our enthusiasm by singing an ode to Woodward, composed by two graduates, Mr. Joseph Surdo and Miss Marguerite Mosbaugh. In June we attended the Commencement, and a few of us sang in the chorus. We were not so young as to be un- able to appreciate the solemnity and seriousness of this event, which inspired us with many a lofty resolve. The ttBii Grade presented to us many difficulties in the way of Physics, History, Advanced Algebra, Trigonometry, Spanish and French. This year our class was organized; and, in April, gave the liAi Grade 2. dance at the Walnut Hills Mansion, in return for which they treated us to a delightful affair of a like nature. As we attended their graduation ex- ercises we were glad that they, and not we, would have to miss the honor of being the class to graduate from the tiNew Woodward? then so far in the process of completion. And then at last we were Seniors, and in the wonderful new school. It is needless to try to describe the imposing building, perfect in every detail, and so large that we were continually getting lost in it. It is difficult to find adequate language for describing the laboratories, shops, lunch rooms, gymnasiums, and, above all, the auditorium. Early in the year the New Woodwardii was dedicated with an impressive ceremony. A cantata entitled Past, Present and Future? com; posed for the occasion by Mr. Schockley, Mr. Surdo and Mrs. Alice Brotherton, all graduates of Woodward, was rendered by the orchestra and a chorus of pupils selected from the four grades. At the meeting of the Alumnal Association, later in the year, the same cantata was repeated. One day in Feb- ruary the building was open to the public for inspection. Dem- :mstrations of school work were given in the shops, labora- tories and gymnasium, while several of the school organiza- tions were represented in an entertainment given that evening in the auditorium. Some of the many pleasant features of our Senior year were the talks given in the morning by prominent men whom Mr. Lyon arranged to have address us. The Oratorical Contest and Founderis Day, always interesting, were still more so when held in the auditorium with the entire school present. This year witnessed flourishing Dramatic and Choral Clubs, and an Art League maintained for the first time in many years. The many beautiful pictures hung in the various rooms indicate that the dues collected from this League were ex- pended to the best advantage. Varying the monotony of our school routine, if we may call it monotonous, since so many things took place, were our class parties. Just before the Christmas holidays the A Grade boys gave the WV Grade girls a party, and the girls in return gave a charming Washington birthday reception and dance. The annual ttB-A and iiA-B dances were given in the spring with equal succesg. Then came Commencement, the last and greatest event of our High School Career The memory of that night, with its solemnity and thrilling grandeur, will remain forever fixed in our minds; the memory of the night when, with a profound sadness we said farewell to the school at which we had passed four such happy years, to become one of the many graduate classes, proud to acknowledge Woodward as their Alma Mater.

Ed is a tine fellow and makes a strong friend, of whom any one could be proud ELMER RUEHL, Dramatic Club, Gym Team, Swimming Team, Oratorical Contest, Class Treasurer. There must be some good in a man who blushes? Here we have a bunch of celebrities rolled into one. If Ruehl turned into a poet, musician, actor, detective or a book agent, we wouldnlt feel surprised in the least. To begin with, ElmeHs role of the disappointed lover in the play was acted to perfection. His recitations on Shakespeare in the English Class are so deep that even Miss Arm- strong begs a second explanation. And did you ever hear that boy tickle the keys ? My, oh, my! but he can-but we must stop, or the Editofs blue pencil will get busy. Ruehl is so handy all around that everybody can wish him success, and feel assured that he will get it. 20 MARTHA MUTH, ViceiPresident Class lIO-lll, Dramatic Club, Art League, Athletic As- sociation, Tennis Club. uSo sweet in temper that the very stars shine soft upon her?' Martha is one of our social queens. Be it a dance, a picnic or a bean-bake, she is on the committee, running things in great style.

Helen is one of the sweetest and most lovable girls that ever entered Woodward. She stands as one of the highest in all of her classes, and when it comes to giggling, she can outstrip anyone. Helen considers sausages the funniest things in the world. She is wild over music and is certainly a genius along that line. She even composes and also distinguishes herself as a violin accompanist. Helen expects to go to the U. C. next year, and in addition is going to study theory and composition at the College of Music. 2 I WILLIAM WERNER, Editor ilAnnualfi Leader Orchestra, ,Quartermaster Cadets, Dramatic Club, Tennis Club, thracle Staff, Class Treasurer ,09310. uWhat I donlt do isnit doing.

Lucien is a hustler from the word go, and witness this, his handiwork. How he managed to llhustle adsf sing in the Choral Club, enter the oratorical contest, etc., etc., no one knows. But the results in every organization show his true worth. His business push will land him on the top some day, and we will all be prouder than ever to have known him. 22 ALICE BRAGDON ALLEE, Dramatic Club. nFull of nature, Nothing can tame, Changing every moment, Ever the same? Alice is the baby of the class, and she acts the part to the pinkest degree of pink per- fection. Many a time has a sober and sedate class in Latin, Greek or French been thrown into consternation by her irrepressible giggle, which would rise without provocation and continue without cause. During the last year Alice has developed a great love for autos, especially for one particular auto, and it is just possible that this auto has something to do with her uncertainty in regard to next yearis work. J ULIANA BAHR, Art League. nHeart on her lips and soul within her eyesP This friend of ours has a most sympathetic and loving disposition. Her kindheart- edness has won her many friends during her high school life, and more than once has a classmate been saved from the detention room, through her generosity. Juliana is domestically inclined, notwithstanding the many mistakes made in the cooking room. You could never think of scolding her for any mistake. Her large, appealing eyes would reproach you for harboring such a thought. But here is a secrete Juliana has a great weakness for innumerable puffs and an immense bow mot beaut, which always herald her approach. Never mind, iiJulief bows and puffs may pass from our minds, but you never will! 23 WALTER ABEL, Athletic Association, Art League. i'Things are not always what they seem.,, To look at Walter, you would think him a child; but my! get that boy started to talk- ing about the police department, and hell never stop! Walter doesnit generally say much in class, but what he says is to the point. In his quiet way he is always doing a good turn for some one, and has gained many friends by his thoughtfully administered llsun- shine pills. LEROY BAY, Dramatic Club, Tennis Club, Swimming Team, Art League. iiBrutus, bay not me; llll not endure it. This is rather hard on Bay, for he is really a jolly, good fellow. In fact, he is so jolly once in a while that we wonder how he comes through his studies so swimmingly. He comes near riding his willing horse to death, but gets through with very creditable marks, nevertheless. His only llrumpusl, occurs in German, and there it occurs often, but by his magnetic grin he seems to smooth even those troubled waters, while we all wonder how he does it. 24 MARGARET R. BAKER, Dramatic Club, Art League, Choral Club, Oracle Staff, Athletic As- sociation. llTrue she is, as she hath proved herself True to her words, her works and her friends? Margarefs weaknesses are chocolate ice-cream and musicians of the tall, slender, graceful variety. Of course, she likes music, tooeadores it. Her ability as an artist is well known lher itOraclei' covers have proved her skillJ and as a maker of delicious fudge, she is without a rival. Did you ever see her when something appealed to her sense of humor? Such a contagious laugh! We have all had a good chance to hear it, because she is seeing something funny nearly all of the time. What would we not give to be so perfectly sincere, so delightfully impulsive? If you are looking for a care-banishing, sympathetic, true friend, behold-Margaret!

But besides this achievement, Brad fiddles industriously for the orchestra; and, judg- ing by his earnest look when so engaged, he makes ttsome noise. 26 LILLIAN BENZING, Oratorical Contest, Dramatic Club. ttNothing she does or seems, But smacks of something greater than herselff' Our Lillian dwelt among the horrid shadesil of Cumminsville, and she was not therefore cut down; she dwells amid the airy heights of the region up where the sun shines, and she is not sot upw about it. Therefore you can guess what manner of girl our Lillian is. To record all her virtues and accomplishments would fill this volume, but we will name one of each. The virtuel' is the neatness and exactness which she possessess to the nth degree; and the accomplishment is her culinary skill, exem- plified by the delicious cake made by her own fair hands, and distributed at recess to her hungry classmates. CARRIE BIEDERMAN, Dramatic Club, Art League, Athletic Association. gFairest of all was she. After perusing a good deal of itAnnual material, we have come to the conclu- sion that some time or other, somebody said that somebody else was libuxom, blithe and debonairf and we would like to apply that line to Carrie, as it ujust fitsllibut we re- frain. Carrie has a calm, dignified, yet sincere way of expressing her thought that makes her a very interesting Companion, and inspires one with a feeling of confidence in her. Perhaps her unruffled temper is due to the splendid constitution that is so apparent. 27 WILLIAM BRUCKMANN, Athletic Association, Baseball, Football, Art League, Indoor Base- ball.

This boy, generally called HIce Cream,h is known to only a few of us; but those few find him a steadfast friend, not only in fair weather, but he is a firm support for his class- mates when they stand in need of sundry scholarly assistance. 28 ELLA CLAASSEN, Dramatic Club, Art League. tlDevoted, anxious, generous, void of guile, And with her whole heartls welcome in her smile? In the course of Ellis life, there never will be a time when she will lack friends and companions. She has a merry smile and a pleasant word for her schoolmates at all times. Her jovial disposition has occasionally, within the past year, been a disadvan- tage to her; it has frequently been taken up seriously by the teachers. She, however, is an intelligent student, an enthusiastic worker, a generous and kind-hearted girl. Her sweet and bright disposition will linger forever in the hearts of her classmates. PAULINE CREGMILE, Dramatic Club, Art League. If to her share some feminine errors fall, Look on her face and youlll forget them all. When the skeptic, with a sneer on his lips, says, thhat good ever came out of Lin- wood? we answer not, but with dignified silence point toward Pauline. ltPaul carries around with her a giggle that on the stage would make a name for her equal to that of the great Bernhardt; and if the teachers of the school had to pay three dollars to hear her giggle at the Grand or Lyric, they would regret that they formerly paid de- merits at Woodward. And have we all noticed the pin that Pauline wears? That pin was the pride of els eye, and now he has to do without it. Cruel, cruel Pauline. 29 RUSSELL L. COOK, Athletic Association, Art League. uCustom reconciles us to everything.v In spite of his daily occupation, Rus. insists that he is not going to become a bank clerk. He says he will be the president. We would take his word for that, if he Wasnlt so terribly honest with the lunch checks. Rus. has made quite a record in his studies, and we prophecy a professorship in the near future. STANLEY COOK, Art League Representative, Dramatic Club, Choral Club, Tennis Club, Gym Team, Athletic Association. liOh, lcollector ofl money, to what will you not drive human minds 19,, Gentle reader, were you ever fondly lingering your last nickel and wondering whether to go to the Simon for dinner, buy an automobile or get a box at the Grand? And as you pondered, weighing first one proposition then another, did you ever have some cruel, cold-hearted schoolmate with a little black book in his hand step up to you and say in a calm voice, ttLook here, your Art League dues are overdue about a week; now come across with five cents or thereis going to be a battleW I sincerely trust that you have not suffered sol With sad hearts we fellow classmates say, gFarewell, collector of nickels! Farewell, breaker of hearts and pocketbooks! Farewell, philosopher, theo- logian, linguist and mathematician! Once more, kind friend, our kindest felicitations and the, memory of our lost bank accounts be with you always into whatever lands you go? 30 HELEN L. CROCKETT, Dramatic Club, Art League, Athletic Association, Choral Club. uGraceful was her form and slender, And her eyes were deep and tender? Helen is that dear little, queer little, cute little girl with the curls. Some one asked whether she ever laughed. Well, you just ought to hear her. It fairly gurgles out when it comes. Helen shines forth in elocution, and showed wonderful courage in entering the ora- torical contest. She came to us this year from Hughes, and it took but a few weeks for her to become one of our dearest favorites. We only regret that we didn,t know her sooner. Helen is somewhat undecided as to her future, but we hope to see her at U. C. MARIE DETMERING, Dramatic Club. nA merry, merry girl I always love to see. Marie is a studious girl, and astonishes us all by her translations in German. ttNicht wahrf, Marie? She has a bright and cheerful disposition, and is never heard to complain except about chemf' Marie is an adept at cancocting vociferous, fumigating gases in Lab., for example HS., and only at such times does she cause a stir in the room. Marie is not addicted to the habit of smashing test tubes, but accidents will hap- pen. We have not yet decided whether Marie shall be an amateur ttchemistress or a Spanish correspondent. SI DONALD F. DEARNESS, Dramatic Club, Tennis Club, Basket Ball. nA happy accident.W A better natured youth can not be found anywhere. His congeniality wins friends for him wherever he goes. Besides being a real tiQueenerii and the star of the College French Class, Donald takes great interest in athletics. In the Gym he feels at home. Dearie can always be found at the games, full of pepper and ability. Although never on the team, he always turned out at the field and rooted hard for his Alma Mater. Few indeed are his enemies, and we sincerely hope he can keep up his good record. THEO. P. DOERING, Athletic Association, Oracle Staff, Art League, Dramatic Club. His reasons are as two grains of wheat under two bushels of chaff? Here we have Teddy, the active President of the Knockeris Club. Doering doesn't knock from principle, but wields his hammer where the nails stick out, and need pound- ing.

If there is one thing which, above all others, makes and keeps friends, it is a for- getfulness of self and a willingness to help others. Alma has a host of friends. thuf ced. Sheis bright, too, and has a profound knowledge of Latin and chemistry, and along with it an ability to keep her sunny temper unruffled, and to sympathize with others moods. But she is so modest that she will let you believe her as ignorant as a Hottentot, rather than say the least thing of her own worth. SOPHIE EID, Art League, Athletic Association ltHer mind is bright, Her heart,s all right? We hope that after Sophie has graduated from the Gym. Training School, which she expects to attend, that she will not be too hard upon the rising generation; also, that she will not be a lifresh air crank? Sophiels specialties during her high school life have been smashing test tubes, generously distributing chocolate, and, above all, gymnasium work. Not only could Sophia trip it on the light fantastic toeh herself, but she could make merry music that others might do likewise, and she was very obliging in this regard. 33 OTTO DURAND, Art League, Athletic Association, Baseball lManagerl, liAnnualii Staff. HBehold, the fool saith: lPut not all thine eggs in one basket;' but the wise man saith: lPut all thine eggs in one basket, and watch that basket.m Otto is a great business man, for, did he not, in his former capacity as Assistant Business Manager of the Annual rake in some $15 or $20 worth of ads? Otto has already resigned said position and has applied for the job as business manager of Jeffriesy post-bellum tour of the world. Good luck, Otto. JACOB FIALCO. Someone once said that a red tie would become Fialco. Ever since, he has been wearing a green and purple striped llcreation of the most soothing combination possible. We are rather surprised at this, for Fialco is not generally backward in doing any- thing to set off his handsome features. The tie which adorns him in the picture isnlt the one we speak of.

Little! But oh, my! For fear of hurting her feelings, we shall not attempt to char- acterize her as she really is. Only a few essential details are necessary to distinguish her from the rest of the midgets-such as her walk, her absence on Mondays and her habit of conversing in the halls with fellows who are tit has been saidt sometimes for- getful of their manners. As to these characteristics, her walk is inimitable, and the other two speak for themselves. Nevertheless, uEp1:i,sh good will and enthusiasm will be greatly missed by both teachers and pupils after she leaves us. FRANCES EPPLE, Art League. uDown in a green and shady bed, a modest violet grewl' Frances has been with us not quite two years, and since she is surely the nquietest mouse that ever slipped into Woodward, she has not become Very widely known. On several occasions, however she has been seen laughing; and we believe that if she had been with us a little longer, she might have developed into a very jolly companion. 36 RICHARD W. FOX, Art League, Athletic Association, Indoor Baseball, llAnnual'l Staff. Richard reminds us of another jovial Richard, of whom we studied so faithfully. Our Dick is a general favorite with both sexes, and uwhatever Fox does is all right? is our friendly pass-word. Whenever you are feeling lldown and out, go to Dick, and if he don't cheer you up in two minutes, youlre hopeless.

Franklin is an impulsive chap, and has several times startled his classmates with his spurts of oratory at the class meetings. Herels to one for Franklin. 36 LUCILLE FERRIS, Dramatic Club. tiSilence Gil hath become her mother tongue? Lucille, commonly known by the appellation thatf' comes from that thriving me- tropolis, Linwood. But she comes very seldom, so that we do not have much time to enjoy the divine light shed by her glorious presence. If the time ever comes when Lucille arrives at school more than one minute early, the whole school system will receive such a severe shock that its recovery will be doubtful. Some day Pat will be a great inventress, because she wears out a great deal of her brain matter trying to devise ways and means for avoiding work, and surely this effort will culminate in some mechanical labor-saving device which will be a great boon to the student in the future. LUCILLE FRAZER, Dramatic Club, Art League, Athletic Association, Choral Club. And thou art consistent; wearing all that weight Of learning lightly like a flower. Gay is her spirit, and always ready for a good time. Lucille loves to dance, but above all, she likes to collect Dramatic Club dues. She has great magnetism and a per- sonality which is especially felt by the girls in her Elocution class; so much so, that she taught them the Gettysburg speech. When she makes up her mind to do a thing, she never fails to do it. What sweet tones she can bring forth! How could the Choral Club do without her? No one is more loyal to school and duties than La Petite Lucille. 37 FREDERIC W. FRANZ, Art League, Athletic Association, Choral Club, Quartette, Dramatic Club, Class Orator. The sufficiency of my merit is to know that my merit is not sufficientf' 1 shall introduce to you a young man who worked hard at his lessons, first, in order to lay a good foundation for the future, and next, for the sake of the effect upon his character. By this means he established more firmly the qualities of efficiency, faithfulness and reliability. He was an active member of both the Dramatic Club and Athletic Association, and in this .way mixed freely with the other students of the school. In him lies that stuff, ttAmerican Push? which shows his acceptance of responsibility, the acme of true success. OTIS GRANT, tiOracleh Staff, iiAnnual Staff. ttA false gallop of verse very pleasing to the ear? Otis is our poet ttlariati, with a vengeance. Our ttMirth column, engineered by him, lassoes about every member of the class. But truly, Otis has an astonishingly apt turn to rhyme, and, if all else failed, he could easily get a job writing epitaphs for undertakers. GB EDNA FROEHLICH, Glee Club, Oracle Staff, Dramatic Club. The leading lady in the French play. Yes, Edna, ltdotes on,' French. She is one of the stars that twinkle in the French class. But when we think of Edna, we always associate with the novelist and ?K t :k . She has written many interesting stories for the Oracle, for which we must feel indebted to her. Some day, we suppose, she will he a famous writer, and we will be proud to think of her as one of our classmates. MATHILDA VON DER HALBEN, Dramatic Club, Art League, Athletic Association. There was a soft and pensive grace A cast of thought upon her face? Mathildals name is high-sounding enough to belong to the heroine of a German romance; but the young lady herself is far too ltlevel-headed ever to be in danger of figuring in one of these chronicles. It would be hard indeed, to find a more steadfast girl than Mathilda;; one more conscientious in her work, and more pleasant as a com- panion. You could not have a more loyal friend than Mathilda, and as long as you use the right combination of capitals and small letters in spelling her name, her patience and good nature are boundless. 39 792th15,; 311W CHAS.

Here is one of our quiet hustlers in the shop. Beer grin would bring a high price at open market, but there's no danger, we hope, of his ever having occasion to part with it. ' 40 EMELIN HAPPERSBERGER, Dramatic Club, Art League. And her smile like sunshine darts Into sad and happy hearts? Her jolly disposition and smiling countenance make her one of the best liked mem- bers of the class. Emmy always preferred taking a stroll to devoting the traditional one hour to American History. One of her most ardent wishes is to be able some day to play uBright Eyes, or better still itBeethoven's Moonlight Sonata? Ever since the beginning of the year, Emmy has occupied the seat of honor in the German Class, right in front of the teacher's desk. It was quite a common occurrence for itPunchii to remain in Room 58 until 2 P. M. For particulars about this, see Emmy. One thing more-why has Emmy suddenly taken such an interest in the Manual Training Department? CATHERINE HEYN, Dramatic Club, Art League, Athletic Association, Girls, Tennis Club. iiMirth, with thee I mean to live. It is not as a general thing necessary to be gifted with an extraordinarily keen sense of sight and hearing to know that this girl is on the scene. Hardly. Catherine is about the liveliest proposition that the class has encountered, and she is invariably around when anything is happening. Whatever else ilKatelt may be, we have no tear- none in the least, that she will ever become a back number. B. FRANKLIN HARMON, Athletic Association, Art League, Tennis Club, Choral Club, Dramatic Club, Swimming Team, Quartette, AnnuaP Staff. uThe crow doth sing as sweetly. It has been said, although it Can not be proved, that a good many people paid their quarter at the entertainment to hear and to see Franklin sing. Did you see that pretty blue ribbon he wore? Everybody is wondering where it is now, for he no longer has it. Frankts performance at the oratorical contest was a surprise to many of his classmates. Perhaps we have another ttUncle Jud in the family. Best wishes, Franklin. ROBERT HARREL, tt tAlas; he groaned, he cried, and rubbed his heart, and died.n Thunder and lightning. Enter deep left Harrel, villian in the tragedy, Did She Fall, or Was She Pushed ? He carries in his hand a bloody dagger, and as he wields it, cries, siHeavens! No more hearts for me to break?

Inspiration seizes me! Then we back away with noiseless tread and awe-struck countenances. You didn't know that Patsy was a poetess? Well, really, Pm surprised. Now, Patsy, you will simply have to write something that will make you famous, in order that we may all know what a literary genius we have been harboring for four years. Patricia tthatls the same personl is no idle dreamer, as one would suppose, but is very practicalealso funny, in the true sense of the word. In her capacity of Assistant Editor, she is to be commended for the admirable way in which she haunted us until we handed in our llAnnuall, material. RUTH HOOKE, Dramatic Club, Art League, Athletic Association HWhen she will, she will, And when she wonlt, she wonlt! Ruth is one of our shining lights. Her recitations are very brilliant. She tells us that she never spends any time in studying, but we are forced to the conclusion that she does. Ruth is the pride of the Spanish Class; but she corrupted her neighbors, or perhaps they tried to corrupt her, and consequently some seats were changed. Even in German, Ruth always knows the lesson, and pays attention while the rest of us are napping. In her middy Ruth is a familiar vision to us all. If you donlt know her under her own name, perhaps you know her as the HGibson Girl. 43 CARL E. HUST, Manager Football Team, Art League, Athletic Association liHowier it be, it seems to me, lTis only noble, etc. When l-lust is mentioned, lll-lis Honorl' is there with the goods.

If you leave out all his bad points, he is pretty good; but the trouble is there lsnlt much left. But no matter how much is left, the little bit is all right. The case with him is quality, not quantity. WM. WALLACE INNES, Financial Secretary Atheletic Association, Football, Dramatic Club, Tennis Club, Art League, uAnnual Staff. uNo man can write my epitaph? In spite of lnnes'iname he is rather shady on Scotch history. Witness the time when Miss Diserens mentioned William Wallace in English Class, Innes cried out liHere! W W. is a general hustler, whether for subscriptions or on the track, and he will make a dent in our history some day or know the reason why. 44 LOUISE KAICHEN, Art League, Annualli Staff, Athletic Association, Dramatic Club. uBlack were the maidenis eyes astsetc. Here's to the stat of the chemistry class! Each morning when Louise enters the building she is surrounded by a bevy of girls, crying, ttOh, Louise, lend me your first problemw But the greatest credit must be given to Louiseis French translations. They are wonderful, and she never hesitates to help a friend in need. The old saying applies to Louise, She is fat and good natured. Her happy nature is clearly manifested in her dancing black eyes. EDNA KING, Art League, Dramatic Club, Athletic Association. iiTrue blue. Edna is steadfast, calm and deliberative. She never flies around hunting lost arti- cles; everything is in its place, and she knows where everything is. She apparently never hurries, yet she is never latesalways quiet, calm and cool. Edna looks every inch 2. Senior. We others who fly about are sometimes taken for Freshmen-horrors! That is never the case with Edna. She is very loyal to her friends, and is a girl who means what she says. We can always tell Edna our troubles and receive sympathy. Her quietness even has the effect of soothing us. She enjoys things calmly. Her smile is always ready, but her hair is never rumpled. And never, never, never have we seen our Edna laugh, 45 W. A. IRELAND, Baseball, Art League Representative, Athletic Association, Dramatic Club, Track Team. iiLovely, fresh and green? About Irelandis nationality we know not, but he certainly has gallons of Irish bull- dog tenacity when he comes around collecting Art League dues. No excuses of uhard up go with him. He gives one look, then out come the last stray nickels, and the Art League has its rightful mite. That look of yours may soften some day, Ireland. Watch out. STUART DEMING JACKSON, Editor Oracle? Dramatic Club, Art League, Athletic Association. The more we do, the more we can do. The more busy we are, the more leisure we have. The desire to work for the best that is in him is and has been his uppermost ambi- tion. Yet this ambition has not lost for him the regard of his friends. Many have sought his friendship and assistance and have found that he is ever ready to meet and help them with the greatest cordiaiity. No doubt, a splendid career awaits him if he but keeps to his ideal of life. Even as an actor, he would shine. 46 HELEN ELIZABETH KEIM, Dramatic Club, Oratorical Contest. uTo know her is to love her, And love but her forever? Helen is', above all, a lovable girl, dignified, sweet-tempered, full of fun ishe will laugh at our jokes, no matter h0w stalel, yet able to look on the serious side of life. She is generous, sympathetic-in fact, she has all the beautiful qualities which, we feel sure, will cause her to become a line, womanly woman. RUTH H. KELLER, Choral Club, Art League, Dramatic Club, Athletic Association. A countenance in which did meet Sweet records, promises as sweet? This is Ruth, loved by all of us. She is a member of the Choral Club and of the Dramatic Club, and neither of these could do without her. She is always cheerful iex- cept on days of chemistry testsl, and never loses her temper except when Miss Fillmore has kept us too long after the lunch bell has rung. Her favorite study is chemistry, we think, and Lab. is her delight. She is a shining example to all of us in Lab., owing to her neatness. Her desk is always clean, apparatus in order, and she hasnlt broken a test-tube! 47 FRED JACKY, . Athletic Association, Art League, Dramatic Club. Heavy, yellow, shining gold, lTis nought to this young lover bold.n Yes, we all admit that Jacky is destined to be a great bank president. Why, he can tell at a mere casual glance how much money there is in a certain pile, and without thought can say how much there will be when he has finished counting it. Fred is not by nature a grumbler, but many were the protests sent heavenward because he was chosen to sell checks to the boys rather than to the bashful little bits of femininity which inhabit our halls. We make no statements, mind you, of which we are not positive; but there is a strong suspicion pointing to the fact that many fair hearts were sent a-flutter I-at the A Grade party by this dashing young gallant with his graceful dancing. But, remember, we say nothing of which we are not positive. PAUL K. JOHNSTON, Athletic Association, Choral Club, uOracle Staff, Art League. ll iTwere all right, but for the hairf' ltPinkli is fond of taking long journeys out beyond the wilds of Kennedy Heights into Silverton. Perhaps he hopes there to discover that new poison which he tries to concoct in tiChemi' Are things at such an extremity already, Pink? Be more peaceful; maybe it can all be smoothed over. But, seriously, Johnston is a fine fellow for a friend, and not one of us but regrets parting from him. 48 JENNIE K. KENNEDY, Art League, Dramatic Club. Blue were her eyes as the fairy HaxW Being such a very, very little girl, Jenny lives up to the old rule that nchildren should be seen and not heardii with such good results that she has gained the reputation of being a very quiet little girl. There is nothing the matter with her tongue, however. Not at all. Jenny is fond of her studies, but can not be classed as a bookworm; and, despite her meek appearance, loves a joke as well as the next one. DOROTHY KENT, ttAnnualiy Staff, Dramatic Club. uShe is pretty to walk with And witty to talk with And pleasant to think on, toof' Dorothy is as sweet as her name. Her sunny disposition and cheerfulness are only two of the many qualities which make her a friend worth having You canit be gloomv when you are with her. Do not think, though, that she is the silly-funny kind-far from it. But she is so joyfully optimistic that really, Dorothy, we are glad to have known you. 49 LAWRENCE KISSEL, Art League, Dramatic Club, Choral Club, Athletic Association. ttl love my hammer and planer, But, oh, you big feet? nYours truly looks like a genuine carpenter. People say if you hit your finger instead of the nail six out of five times you are all right and you are a carpenter; so, according to this rule, Kissell must be a carpenter. After he was done with the benches they closely resembled chopped beef instead of plain wood. The only trouble with ttOur Lawrenceh is that he lives in that wild and woolly regionf people call Winton Place. Let it be further said that there is no better fellow than uYours truly.u If there is, keep him quiet. PAUL O. KORNAU, Athletic Association, Art League. uA laugh is worth a hundred groans? We all lament the fact that a fellow who does such quick and efficient work in the machine shop should live in Camp Washington. He deserves a better fate, after hold- ing the speed record in the shop. Some day we hope to furnish our shops at Woodward with the latest design of ltKornau lathe. 50 CAECILIA KUEHNLE, Dramatic Club. HSober, steadfast and demure. Here is another one of the nwee ones of the class; but, in view of her vast dignity, one is apt to forget her size. This dignity and a quiet little air of independence are her most noticeable, qualities. Although Caecilia has often grown very footsore while jour- neying with the rest of us after Aeneas, nevertheless, she has proved herself a plucky pedestrian, and has regarded with scorn all equine aid. Last winter Caecilia wore a ubabyl' hood, that made her look as youthful as some of the usouvenir specimens of Freshmen one sees around the building these days. NORMA LANGENBEIN. Dramatic Club, Art League. HA truer, nobler, trustier heart, More loving, more loyal, never beat Within a human breastfl If you love any one who is simple, unassuming and true to her friends, you will love Norma. If you love a companion with a keen sense of humor and a ready sympathy, you will love her some more, just as the rest of us do. Next to her friends, perhaps, Norma loves music, and she plays beautifully. Moreover-but space will not permit us to write all we would like. 5i MAX C. LABERMEIER, Art League, Athletic Association, Dramatic Club. Men give away nothing so liberally as their advice? Max is the original political boss of Woodward. Quite a number of Dramatic Club members belong to his ttgangf, It is rumored that at a recent fire, Max tried to get through the police lines by saying he was a reporter for the ttVolksblattf, But for all that, he is ttsomeii comet player, and we are sorry that the fact that he belongs to the union deprives us of his services in the orchestra. He also performs on the violin with as much proficiency as on the comet. WILLIAM A. LAWTON, Captain Baseball, Athletic Committee, Art League, Captain Indoor Baseball Team. uHabit may be likened to a cable. Every day we weave a thread, and soon we can not break it. This is the lad who has the stolid endurance and staying power of the fighter, the gallantry of the knight, the good humor of a humorist, and the coolness, ingenuity and perseverance of a fine baseball player. He is active and eager though sensitive and im- pressionable; quick tempered, but as quickly appeased; kind-hearted and affectionate. These lovable traits are manifest to others, and make him a favorite comrade. 52 ANNIE MAE LEE, Art League. Her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace. Annie Mae has been at all times a faithful student, and one of the best-natured meme bers of the class. She has a calm and leisurely way of doing things that is all her own, and which will be her best remembered characteristic. MARGARET A. LINDEMANN, Art League, Dramatic Club, Athletic Association, Girlsi Tennis Club. To be merry best becomes you, For out of question, you were born in a merry hourP It is a photographefs error that Margaret is not pictured here with a halo above her head, for she is an angelic child. She is one of those happy people who are always just escaping from some scrape, or about to adopt some plan of questionable issue. She does not voluntarily oppose authority, but her Sportive nature often gets the best of her common sense. Many of her mischievous pranks were successfully carried through in udomestic. Margaret is an exceptionally fine domestic science pupil, but her griddle cakes were phenomenal creations. She is, however, one of the most unselfish girls in the school, always willing to sacrifice time or iilessonsii for a friend in need. 53 DAVID N. LEVY, Oracleh Staff, Dramatic Club, Athletic Association, Art League. uMuch brass, and a constant lack of silverf' Levy started his senior year at Woodward with the expressed determination of joining the insurrecto party. But soon that platform and he disagreed, and ever sincc, he has been trying to get back to the stand-patters. Levy is a valiant member of the arm-and-hammer society, which would be all right in its way, only once in a while Daveis hammer slips, and hits the wrong nail. If Levy is ever on the fence, his ever- green smile will surely pass him over on the right side. EARL D. MCKINNEY, Dramatic Club, Choral Club, Tennis Club, Lieutenant Cadets, Art League, Athletic Association. llHe grieved and sighed, but never wept beforefr Mac is a star in many things. His rapid acquisition of knowledge pertaining to basket ball, and his equally rapid loss of the same are well-knowu phenomena. Mac is also a diamond of the first water in the College French Class, but that water is generally hot. His greatest gift, however, is his good humor, which even the above hot water episodes failed to ruffle for over two minutes. 54 HELEN LINDSEY, Dramatic Club, Vice-President Athletic Council, Girls' Tennis Club, Art League, Choral Club. A dainty shape, an image gay, To haunt, to startle, and waylayf This is Helen, light, gay and irresistible. She is a member of the Choral Club, and sings sweetly. But, how she can play! Her fingers fairly fly over the piano-keys. She is very generous and obliging, and always ready to help us out with a piano solo. She likes athletics, and is very fond of dancing. It is a real treat to see her do the Spanish dance. But it is in the Dramatic Club that she shines and is seen at her best. Her forte in this is posing gracefully on step-ladders. J SADYE LOWENSTEIN, Art League, Dramatic Club, Recording Secretary Athletic Council. uShort, but sweet tand hard to beatif' Sadye is one of the most popular girls in our class. She has enough of study to commend her to her teachers, and enough fun to make her a favorite among her class- mates. In speaking of her, one is sorely tempted to quote something about Precious Things and iiSmall Packages. 65 WILBUR S. MAISH, Swimming Team, Art League, Athletic Association, Tennis Club. mWhat a dust I have raised,' quoth the fly on the coach. If they had left the lli out of Wilburls name, they would have done him the great- est of injuries, for Maish is anything but a mash? In fact, hes just the opposite, for if he saw a girl smile at him he would run a block. Get over it, Maish. It isn't so bad as all that. WALTER H. MEIER, e uCome one, come all; this rock shall fly From its firm base as soon as 13, Meier is so Dutch that he laughs in German, and has gained for himself the name Dutchey.h Walter, we may add, has a complexion that is the envy of every girl in the school. Dutchy once really worked! Yes, he worked! He tried to reduce weight by pushing a pencil and by wresting boards in a lumber yard last summer; but, sad to relate, he failed. When we all want to start an argument, or have some fun, the light haired comedian will be missed, and we certainly pity the rest of the world when he is turned loose on it.- 66 EMMA McKINLEY, The maiden with the meek brown eyes. And at last we have come to a real iiangel? Never has Emma been absent; never has she been tardy, and never has she been demerited or sent to that abode of the doomed, known as the Detention Room. Every morning Emma strolls in, ages before the first bell rings, with the light of a calm soul in her countenance; and even three years of being alternately addressed as Miss McKinley and iiMiss McKinney has not served to ruffle her placidity. And so, we say, that if ever any one was entitled to a pair of wings with her diploma, that person is Emma. MARY KATHRYN McKIBBEN, Art League, Secretary Dramatic Club, Athletic Association, Girls, Ten- nis Club, Choral Club. A cheerful companionis worth gold? This is Mary Kathryn, the famous translator of Virgil; the girl who can either read or translate Latin like a lightning express; and who, taking her life in her hands, dared to yawn in the French class. But Latin is not Maryis only strong point, for she is one of the shining lights of the Dramatic Club; and if all iishades are as sassy as the one Mary represented, we will be thankful that they confine their peregrinations to the hours when iimortals slumber? 67 THOMAS M. L. MILLER, Art League. I say, my man, how is the weather out yonder in Kennedy Heights ?'t That Tom is a uregular star. For crooked feet and uncultivated hair, he can,t be beat. In English he just shines; mind you, he shines. He can tell the difference between ScottYs ttWaverlyh and Scotfs ttEmulsionW He says he is going to replace one of the lathes in our famous machine shop. Good luck to you, Tom. HARRY MOHRING, Art League. thHey, diddle, diddle The cat and the fiddle? If anybody is grouchy and stingy in the lunch room, he surely is, He struts around that cocoa boiler as if he owned it, and I verily believe he thinks he does. If he would only eat more beans, he would grow somewhat. Harry, take the advice of your elders, like a good little boy. This boy must have a sun inside of him, because he is always wearing a happy smile, and he certainly looks as if he felt it. 68 MARCELLA McCORMACK, Dramatic Club, Art League. llThy hair is auburn? This bright-haired young lady has become very well-known throughout or school, and also very well liked, for her nature is as bright as her hair. There is but one little fault to be found with Marcella, and that is 0hy well! It is better to be late than never, i'snlt it, Marcella P MARGARET MAGEE, Art League, Dramatic Club. llA merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance. Surely, if the above Saying be true, Margaret has a merry heart, for she always looks as cheerful as can be. Margaret is fond of her books, and fond of fun, but above all is she fond of the Dramatic Club and the plays it gives. Margaret says she is going to be an elocution teacher herself some day, and then maybe she can have a Dramatic Club of her own. 59 ROBERT W. NOHR, J R., Athletic Aseociation, ttAnnual Staff, llOracleh Staff, Tennis Team, Gym Team, Indoor Baseball, Track Team, Fencing Team, Art League, Entertainment Committee. uA lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing. Rob has the honor of being one of the best gymnasts that Woodward has ever pos- sessed. He has established for himself quite a reputation as an Indian Club swinger, a fencer, a pole vaulter and a high jumper. We all know Rob to be a very pleasant and agreeable fellow. As an active member of his class he ranked among the first. Robls ambition is to be a teacher of Physical Culture, and not one of us has the least doubt that some day he will very ably fill such a position. HUGH PHARES, Art League, Athletic Association. ttHence, loathed melancholy? Some day usweetness will make a great explorer, because he can not overcqme his great passion for travel. There are some misguided people in Tusculum this native landl who dare to call Hughey Feet? We, however, think that the graceful gallant does not in the least deserve that name. We predict that Hugh, with his beaming smile, will go through the world with a rush, and we prophecy a roaring success. 80 JEANETTE MALLIN, Art League, Choral Cliib, Dramatic Club. Her eyes were bright and merry, She danced in the Spanish whirl; She took the world in its sunshine, For she was a blithesome girl? She is a jolly and lovable girl with a bright and sunny disposition that causes her to be liked by all who know her. She is of that delightfully indefinite height known as medium; and while she wishes so much to grow taller, it is greatly to be feared that she will not rise much higher in this world. But never mind, my dear Jeanne, the most precious articles usually come in small parcels. ISABELLE MANNS, ilOracleh Staff, Choral Club, Girlst Tennis Club, Dramatic Club, Art League, Athletic Association, Oratorical Contest. To friends a friend. lsabelle is one of the busiest, most popular and liveliest girls in our class. She owns the ofiginal smile that won,t come off, and whenever anything is going forward you will be sure to find Isabelle connected with it in some way. Among these activi- ties, may be noted the Current Eventsl, column of the Oracle? which she has made a live part of the paper, and the Oratorical Contest, in which she stood second; am! with all these tiside lines, Isabelle has made a great success of her regular school work. SI SAMUEL PHILLIPS, Athletic Association, Art League. uNot yet has felt the wound of Cupidls dart, but very neat itfl Now, Sam, you must, really, keep those brown eyes of yours quiet; they rove too frequently. If you paid more attention to your French, you wouldnlt talk of a girlls red horses when you meant her hair. Thatls .all we have to say against you, Phillips. EDWIN FRANK PIERLE, Annuall, Staff, First Lieutenant Cadets, Treasurer Dramatic Club, Tennis Club, Oratorical Contest, Art League, Athletic Association. Open the pearly gates, and let me see within. Ed could make a fortune if he would only sell the girls the secret they have been after for so long. We speak of the secret of his rosy cheeks. But he wonit sell, trade or give it away. We wonder why? Ed has several times entertained his friends with a serenade, accompanied by his mandolin, though he never would give an encore. But in spite of his wonderful 'voice, Pierlels head has not been turned, and he continues and always will continue to be one of the best-l'iked boys in the class. 62 EDITH MILLER, Dramatic Club. uQuality not quantity counts? Edith is one of the jolliest girls of the A Grade, and she always wants a share in any fun that happens to be on foot. She is another one of that bunch of culinary experts that will be graduated this year, and often has she given us morsels of cake, doughnuts, etc., that were certainly as good as timotherli or any one else ever baked. ESTHER MULLER, Art League, Dramatic Club. meet! nature and good sense must ever join. To look upon her placid face you would never think that she was a philosophere but she is; and no matter how profound the subject, she will discuss it with depth and ease. We expect, some day, to read of her as the author of a philosophical treatise with a title sixteen syllables long. Esther's voice, in conversation, is so low and gentle, we hardly believe the report that in the Oratorical Contest the ceiling shook with the volume of tone. 63 PAUL RETTICH. Indoor Baseball, Art League, Swimming Team, Athletic Association. And say to all the world, this is a man? Behold one of Woodwardis most famous 'iknc'wkersf, always ready with his little sledge-hammer to knockii both friend and foe, and every condition of affairs, good or bad, as the spirit moves him. Behold, also, the wouldebe athlete aspiring to laurels always beyond his grasp, yet never weary of relating his near-achievements in the Gym. Eager for honors in study or track, Paul strives hard to surpass all others in these things; and, if he continues to preserve in the future, as he has in the past will surely make his mark in life. CLIFFORD ROSEMEYER, Track Team, Athletic Association Representative, Art League. I pray thee, call me not wishy-washyPi Rosey believes in the early-to-rise rule, for he is always one of the first down at school in the morning, digging away at Latin, Greek, French, English and sundry other languages. His translation in these tongues is slow but sure, though, of course, he does once in a while say a man is a dog instead of a man has a dog? But if that's the worst we know of him, weill have to quit. 84 MYRTLE MUMMERT, Dramatic Club, Art League. uSimplicity in all things is the hardest to be copied. To describe Myrtle, one needs only to say modest and simple and sweet. But in the head of this demure miss rests so much knowledge that we wonder how one small head contains it all? Her voice never rises above D, nor do her marks fall below A. While chemistry doesn,t exactly appeal to Myrtle, yet she is ever impartial in the prep- aration of it, and many classmates have often been cheerfully shown the how and why of those awful problems. One day, however, we received a great shock. This quiet little girl was seen running in the lunch room! She soon calmed herself and promised that it should never happen again. PAULINE MYERS, Dramatic Club, Art League. A fairy thing with round red cheeksf' Pauline entered the class in the Senior year. She came from Pleasant Ridge. Ob- serve still the pleasant ridges of smiles in her face. Pauline is a conscientious and dili- gent student, and can conjugate aller and state Newtonts three laws of motion even in her sleep. Paul stays until three otclock, digging out physics problems and misconstru- ing Latin. Why does she go home in the ttchoo-choo cars every day? See Paul for enlightenment. Some day we hope to hear of Pauline as a great physicist. 65 OLIVER RUCKSTUHL, Dramatic Club, Baseball, Indoor Baseball, Fencing Team, Art League. llLet mirth 'reign supremefl Here we have our latest novelty, a combined artist, pianist, comedian, scholar UH, actor and sleight-of-hand artist, guaranteed not to rust or get out of order for a hopeless number of years. Ruckstuhl has several times so entranced the faculty with his feats of juggling that their words of reprimand have been turned to applause, and he has been suffered to go his happy way unmolested. May his path continue so care-free. CLARENCE SACKHOFF, ltHe trudged along, unknowing what he sought, And whistled as he went, for want of thought. uRed is a treasure in the machine shop. Whenever you need assistance of any kind, such as hunting a lost tool or holding a piece of greasy waste, call on ltSackyY, He is always helping others, yet he seems to finish his own work with it all. We hope his ever-helpful spirit will bring him only good luck, and that he may never get iistung? Redls jokes are fathomlesseyou can't see the bottom. 66 LUANNA NEVIN, Dramatic Club, Art League, Athletic Association. Her eyes, fair eyes, like to the purest lights, That animate the sun or cheer the day? Luanna is a young lady who speaks her mind upon all occasions texcept once in a while in English recitationst, and she generally has something interesting to say. Some one has twith great originalityi compared Luanna,s cheeks to peaches and cream. 7Tis said, likewise, that she is a great German scholar; but why, oh, why does she have her seat changed so often in the German class? Report has it that Luanna is a great cook, and that she is, above all, proficient in breaking dishes. EDNA LOUISE NOE, Dramatic Club. HA dainty little maid, most sweet.n Edna is studious and conscientious. She does not care for a frivolous life, but is quiet and modest, of such good qualities that she has won the respect of all. Her natural dignity and reserve have kept her from being more widely known. 67 ROBERT SAMMET, ttThou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick -e Speak reverently when you talk of Robert Sammet, campaign leader of the Liberal ticket, which emerged so triumphantly from our rezent election. Just as great men of yore, so Robert Sammet says, uPlace on my tombstone this inscription: This stone erected to declare That Robert Sammet lies buried there, A quiet man, of modest mien, For when a friend said, tit would seem Of all the men that breathe this air, The handsome men tand they are raret, Are surely a conceited lot? He said, tWhy, no! See, I am notm ROBERT SCHRAER, Art League. Once in a while Schraer puts on a seriously frowning countenance and walks from beneath the portals of Woodward with a book under his arm. We look on with amazement until we discover that the book is a nove1-not an outside readingii one, eithereand that the frown came not because of study-oh, no! That frown was the sign of another fail- ing out tor int with the Faculty. Schraer often exerts himself at class-meetings for the glory of Woodward, so let him rest in peace? 68 MILDRED C. OHLSEN, Art League, Dramatic Club, Athletic Association. uJoy is the mainspring in the whole Of endless Natureis calm rotation? Mildred belongs to that happy and popular class of people who usually see the bright side of everything. Moreover, Mildred is an actress, a tragedian, too, ttsiil vous plait. The part where her true lover came back and found her engaged to another was quite touching. Indeed the audience could not control its emotion. No, of course, it wasnit laughing. How cruel of you to suggest such a thing! Besides, you were told that it was a tragedy. Butejust now the girl, not the play, is the thing, and we musnit close Mildred's biography without telling you the things she likes best. Can you guess? Yes, you're right! They are bulldogs and diamonds. ANNA MAY ORR, Art League Representative, Dramatic Club. A maid of grace and complete majestyf Anna May is one of those lucky few who have that which is so much sought fora poise. On more than one occasion this year she has demonstrated her histrionic ability, while in class her self-possession is such that she at times almost succeeded in convincing Mr. Fabodie that the second aorist infinitive was a pluperfect subjunctive. Anna May is also the possessor of a itstare that has been known to lower the temperature of the room forty degrees in three seconds; but this is generally reserved for those delinquents who make a practice of paying their December Art League dues in May. Anna May says she is going to be a kindergarten teacher, but we predict for her a successful career as a lecturer or as president of a woman's college. 69 J OHN C. SEBASTIAN, iiAnnualii Staff, Oraclei, Staff, Entertainment Committee, President Dramatic Club, Tennis Club, Track Team, Art League, Athletic As- sociation, Cadets ,09910. Handsome is as handsome does. Oh, girls, look whois here! Sebastian, the renowned iilady-killer, famed for his beautiful, wavy hair. But besides his enviable achievement in the hairdressing line and a remarkable propensity for being late, uSib attracts attention in other ways; and when he stands on the field in a track suit, with a sixteen-pound shot poised in his hand, he looks so handsome, strong and energetic, that the girls and boys can not disguise their admiration. JOHN G. SEGELKEN, ' Dramatic Club, Choral Club, Athletic Association, Art League, Oratorical Contest. iiNone can be his parallel but himself. Segy, thatis the name by which we all know him. If you ever need assistance of any kind, you have only to go to him and ask him for it, and has right there with his answer, iiCertainly; what can I do for you? iiSegy was very industrious in some lines, and could always be found busy hammering, sawing, or engaged in some such occupation in the Manual Training Shops. We can also credit him with being very per- sistent of nature, as was shown when he first began to learn how to dance. He did not care how many he bumped into or how many times he got all out -he just simply stuck to it. We have no doubt that some day our friend iiSegy will, with his perseverance, industry, integrity and many other fine qualities, certainly make his mark. 70 FREDA OTTEN, Dramatic Club, Art League, Athletic Association. HDown in a green and shady bed, A modest violet grew. When one looks at this quiet little girl, she forms the opinion that she never could be gay. Looks, however, are often deceiving, and so it is with Freda. She can laugh anal talk and be as happy as a big sunflower. Many and many a time has she proved this in the gymnasium. Her talking comes in quite handy in the Spanish class, for she tidotesii on Spanish and speaks it like a native. Taking Freda all in all, she is a girl of sterling qualities and a bright and conscientious pupil. She justly reaps the benefits of her labors, and those who know her appreciate her sweet and noble qualities. GEORGIANA PATTISON, Dramatic Club. uBetter to be a little of something than a whole lot of nothing. Georgiana has always seemed to consider lessons her mortal enemies, and she never was known to flee from an enemy or acknowledge defeat. She is one of the very smallest girls in the class, but if you tell her so she will stand on her tiptoes and deny it. We have all of us been helped over some very rough places in our school work by this same Hlittlest one? and we are all ready to testify that she has as much gold in her heart as in her hair, which, by the way, is not llred las it has been erroneously calledi, but a very beautiful auburn-so there! 7 l HAROLD J. SIEBENTHALER, Business Manager Oraclefi Athletic Association, Art League. itI lisped in figures, and the Figures came; I cried for dollarsiand see my name. Here we have one of those infernally busy fellows who do much, but make little. Harold has been oFfered every position our class could give, from President to lemonade pourer, but in every case but one his modesty has caused him to beg off. The notable exception of which we speak is that of Business Manager of the Oracle. He fills that post very creditably, and through his financial management, this year's Oracles have con- tained an unprecedented number of pages. i WESLEY SNYDER, Athletic Association, Art League. iiSir, your wit ambles weilK' We shall always remember Snyder by his exceptional constellation of star recitations in Physics, when he was but a wild and irresponsible Junior. Snyder is making a dark and mysterious secret of his choice of vocation. Many rash guesses have been advanced, but we think that at last We have struck the nail. Snyder intends to become a leader of a five-minute Kttake-oiafii company. Good luck, old boy. 72 AUGUSTA A. PFEIFER, Art League, Athletic Association. ltLike twilights, too, her dusky hair. Yes, this slender little maiden with the black curls and the demure look is Augusta. Somehow, her imposing name does not seem to go well with her petite form and her graceful little ways. Those who think that Augusta is always as quiet and pensive as she looks are mistaken, for we have heard from good authority that she can be almost frivolous at times, and we all know from experience the quality of her wit. MILDRED PFISTER, Dramatic Club. ttFor she's a jolly good fellowfl Remembering the injunction ttto do unto others as they would do unto you,H we hereby lay aside the laurel wreath with which we had planned to wreathe Mildredls brow in honor of her scholarly attainments, and take up our tomahawk. Mildred herself, being a member of the tlAnvil Chorus, was entrusted with the biographies of several of her friends, and when she had finished mauling them, they were as if they had not been. Mildred says she wants to be three things-tirst, a bookkeeper; second, a lawyer, and third, an engraver on silver. We predict that she will become either a ttlady chief of police, a tax collector, or, on account of her fondness for the hammer, a ttladytl auctioneer. 73 LLOYD J. STANBERY, Dramatic Club, Tennis Club, Fencing Team, Art League, Athletic As- sociation. flack of all trades and mastere Behold the assistant professor of Physics. Lloyd can give you any information which you may desire concerning anything which deals with electricity, and so holds the exalted position of ttgeneral electrician of the Dramatic Club. He is quite a singer, too. He has music in his voice that will make all listen and wonder. Before his Senior year Lloyd was thought by many of the girls to be sworn to single blessedness, but now, now ask them what they think. We almost forgot to mention his great ability as an actor. He was very well fitted for his part in the iiPair of Lunaticsn and looked so tlnatural? He has made an excellent record in his studies, and will be remembered by his classmates as long as recollections of school last. LELAND W. STARK, Dramatic Club, Choral Club, Oracle Staff iIO-ill, Athletic Association, Art League, Tennis Club. uTrust not too much to my enchanting face. Leland is one of our domestic tlmen. Of late he has been investigating the prices and qualities of different pieces of furniture. After great labor and fruitless inquiry, we are forced to conclude that this search of prices foretells that Leland is planning to enter the paternal .tchair shop? perhaps as oHice-boy, or glue cooker, or purchaser-- who knows? Leland is a general favorite with both sexes, and we all hope to see much of him in future life. 74 LILLIAN RANDOLPH, Art League, Athletic Association, Dramatic Club. tlSweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn? Lillian is a quiet girl and rather hard to get acquainted with, but when you know her, she is very jolly. She is one of the literary geniuses of the class, and she loves so well to exercise her talent, that it took about forty per cent of the nerve force of one of the Annualls representatives to get her to write the obituariesl, of three of her beloved classmates. We shall all remember the long brown braid that Lillian wore, freshman style, during almost her entire high school course. MATTIE BERRY REPPERT, Dramatic Club, Art League, Choral Club. a e and her silver voice is the rich music of a summer bird? Ah! herels the song-bird of the class. We all know Mattie Berry by her beautiful voice. It can be heard soaring above all others in music class, and she is the star of the Choral Club. And what a giggle! We, of the Thursday Chemistry Lab. class, especially notice this, for our peace is often disturbed by this self-same giggle. We hardly think she finds her work so very amusing. What then, can be the cause of such conduct in Chemistry? Mattie Berry knew some of the happiest moments of her life while practicing in the Auditorium for the cantata. Wonder why? 75 ERWIN STARKE, Dramatic Club, Oratorical Contest, Sergeant Cadets. tlThey always talk, who never think. Have you ever heard the story of the llempty barrel;y and wondered to whom of your friends, acquaintances or enemies, tnever yourselfl it could be applied? Pupils at Woodward know whom the shoe best fits, for, what Starke, ttThe Bravest of the Brave, lacks in stature, he makes up in noise. He is, or rather considers himself to be, an indispensable member of the cadets, and, as such, although the baby of the class in actions and the most diligent ttknocker in the school, works for the honor and glory of Woodward. CLARENCE STEINER, Athletic Association, Art League. 7! The only thing we have against Stirmer, is his place of residence. tSee the direc- tory in the back of the bookJ Clarence strives valiantly to be an optimist, and gener- ally succeeds; a possible failure being when in the shop he drops and breaks a newly- flnished model. So go his ideals often; but he strives hard for newer and better ones, and will surely win out. 76 FLORENCE RICHARDSON, Her eyesl dark charm ytwere vain to tell. It is not popularly known that Florence is a dreamer; in fact, only a select few know of her aspirations. However, those who have been let into her confidence, hope that the paintings which now hang on the walls of her castles in Spainb may some day be hung in a real studio. Painting is not the only branch of art to which Florence aspires, however, for she has confided to one of her friends that she would love above all things to be llsomething in musicfl She didnlt say just what-a rest? perhaps, eh, Florence? However this may be, we all know Florence as a serious and thoughtful girl, who has many friends. HILDA RIEDINGER, Secretary Art League, Dramatic Club. Fair as was her sweet bodie, Yet fairer was her mind. Hilda does not in the remotest degree resemble the popular conception of a blue- stocking? and yet she has made one of the highest averages in the grade in her school work, and a still higher ttaveragel7 of friends. No one, in fact, could help liking such an unassuming, friendly and unselfish little ttpuss as Hilda is. tThis may sound like tttaffyfi but, cross our heart and hope to die, we mean it, Hilda, every wordJ 77 x R X KIMBLE W. STEVENSON, Swimming Team, Art League, Athletic Association. Calm and deliberateeespecially deliberate? Stevenson would be an alle'round good fellow, but for the fact that he always wears a red tie. tFor the reason, see SegelkenJ Kimble recently stated, in elocution class, that he was going to become a farmer, after graduating. Perhaps he will keep a board- ing house in the country, where his former classmates may spend their vacation. The one great thing which balances all these deficiencies, is his ability as a swimmer. He takes to the water like a duck, and did much to help the seniors win the aquatic tourna- ment. R. W. STREICHER, Athletic Association, Dramatic Club, Choral Club, Art League. llAnd then the chemist. thudyl, is a great chemist. Maybe you did not know of it, but nevertheless it is a fact. Why, once he broke five test tubes in as many minutes, and his over-abundance of knowledge, makes him so thoughtless, that he is continually pouring acid down the neck of an unsympathizing classmate. Well, Streicher, we must admit, does not live up to his pugilistic cognomen, but is a quiet, modest lad, and he has our heartiest wishes for great success in the future. 78 LILY RYAN, Art League, Dramatic Club. uThy modesty,s a candle to thy worth. Here is another of the umodest violetsl' of the classes. most studious and retiring maiden, and one who is very neat and exact in all she does. Lily is fond of all her studies, but especially of history. She comes early in the morning that she may study history; she goes home early in the afternoon, that she may study history, and it is rumored that she even sits up late of nights studying history. Her acquaintances now think that she ought to know as much history as the man who wrote the book, and wish earnestly that she would impart a little of her knowledge to them in time of stress. SADIE SAMUELS, Dramatic Club. uCautious, though coy; gentle, though retired? Although very quiet and retired, Sadie has taken a great deal of interest in school life and in the various activities of the class. We will not soon forget, however, that it was this young lady who caused Woodward to lose one of the athletic events at last year's field day, and we find this just a little hard to forgive. 79 CLARENCE J. STROBEL, Track Team, Football, Athletic Association, tiOracle Staff. For elen defeated, he could argue stillfl Here is one of our real celebrities. uKlinks once ran the fifty in three seconds by the stop watch, but when the amazed judges came to their senses they found that the watch had been once around and was starting again, when it was stopped, making a total of sixty-three seconds. iiKlinksiy does not get his name from the noise that money is reputed to make; no, for nobody but a millionaire could send a five-pound box of candy to Sandusky three times a week and still have enough left to make a sound. Well, Klinks, we all hope that your gift of gabl' with which you subdued the teachers of this school will overcome all your future opponents in life. GIACINTO VALERIO, Dramatic Club, Art League. Commonly known as tlDutehP Without his jolly face we couldnt get along for anv length of time. Dutch has been known to turn the most serious dissertation on Roast Shakespeare into a laughing gallery by his funny remarks, thrown in, like footnotes, at the bottom of every page. May he never have cause to lose his good humor. 80 JEANETTE SCHEID, Dramatic Club, Athletic Association, Girls Tennis Club, Art League. tlBlessed with that charm and certainty to please. At first glance Jeanette seems to be a demure, quiet girl, but lllooks are often de- ceiving, for on closer observation one can see the imp Mischief lurking in her dancing brown eyes. She is a light-hearted, happy girl who looks on the bright side of life, and is never seen without a smile. Her sweet smile, happy giggle and pleasant disposition have won for her many friends, of both sexes. She is a popular member of that llbad beginning German class. In lldomestic she is especially fond tPl of scrubbing. Al- though Jeanette was no ardent student, she made a very good record, one of which any one could be proud. MILDRED SCHOPP, Dramatic Club, Art League. With smiles and laughter, let old wrinkles comef' Mildred, Milly, Middy, Bunch-by what other names is she known among us? Tall and slender, she stands in Gym above her many intimates tin stature espe- ciallyl. But despite this, she is our good stand-by there, ever willing to play for us, her specialty being uA11 that I ask is love? Of late Mildred has been decidedly partial to tenors. We wonder why. We must not forget to add that Mildredls queer enunciationl in German has created much hearty and prolonged laughter. She often has tlshort but sweetll displays of temper, especially in the locker room, but we all know these are only shams. Bl ALFRED P. WINKLER, Art League. tlThree-tifths of him genuine, the remainder sheer fudge? Alfred is quite an actor, and is an authority on everything pertaining to the drama. After ushering at the Lyric during the week that Sothern and Marlowe were there, he knew all about the tragedy of Macbeth until he landed in English. Somehow or other, things in school never suit Alfred; they either donit work right or don,t conform to his idea of the fitness of things. One good thing he did do, however; he invented the system of corporation ownership of tablets and note books. Who in the A Grade has not heard of the Schraer and Winkler Ca ? Reading the jokes and near-jokes on the cover of their tablet has beguiled many a weary hour for some fellow student. EMIL K. WUERDEMAN, Dramatic Club, Swimming Team, Tennis Club, Basket Ball, Art League, Athletic Association, Track Team. Young Lochinvar come out of the Westfl Emil arrived among us a stranger, but by his good nature, his blue eyes and his ability to hit six out of twenty-five clay pigeons at the Hyde Park Gun Club, he has endeared himself to us all. Emil, with the assistance of four other fellows, won the Southern Ohio Championship in basket ball. He plays tennis, too, and my! you ought to see that boy dance! But once in a while, when he is not dancing nor playing tennis, nor studying mathematics, he takes his ten-gauge Winchester and goes out hunting. Once he shot a quail, and had about a dozen fellows come to his house to help eat it. It is by such deeds as this that his memory will linger with us. 82 EDNA SCHWEIN, Art League, Athletic Association. llSimple and patient and childlike. n We do not suppose that Edna ever gets ttcross; at least we never saw her in that state of mind. During her entire life at Woodward she has been the same pleasant and cheerful companion and friend, possessed of those excellent characteristics, a low, sweet voice and a winning smilefl Although Edna is a German scholar, we find it impossible to believe that she was one of those who gave Dr. Gores so many strenuous moments. IIATTIE SEBASTIAN, Dramatic Club, Art League, Athletic Association. uYet will l say that she was fair. Hattie is a general favorite, and her bright face is always hailed with delight. She is a pleasant companion, always merry and cheerful. She is a true friend and sincere in everything. She is one of the stars of her Domestic Science Class. How charming she looks in her white cap and apron, and oh, my! what good things she can prepare! We are also informed that she is extraordinarily fond of poetry! Notdoubt her domestic and poetical inclinations will come in handy some day. 83 GEORGE ZEHLER, J R., tiOracle Staff, Art League, Athletic Association. A manis a man for a' that. Even tiGeorgefi the merciless slaughterer, deserves the well-known praise of Burns. His great aim in life is to hear his employees uslushh knee-deep in the gore of his ttinspected pork. Of business ability he has an abundance, as affirmed by the Oracle Staff. Besides claiming a pompadour and being quite good looking, his com- panionable iiDuchy ways have won for him a high place in our esteem. FRANK ZUGELTER, Art League, Athletic Association. When Pm a man, the stripling cries, Ah, then, I shall be strong and wise. To look at the picture, you wouldn't think Zugelter had red hair, but he has. Frankie is the darling of the class. iTis said that with the adoption pf long trousers he left not his age of infancy. The horrible whisper circles around that he goes out on the street after school to play marbles. B4 ALICE LOUISE SHERIKE, Art League. Sober, steadfast and demure? Who would have guessed that the little girl who entered high school four years ago is the same as the tall, dignified Senior of to-day? An excellent record of be- havior has been hers, always. No detention room or demerits for Alice! She has never been known to answer unless called on. Her peaceful and quiet disposition has made her a favorite among all her companions and teachers. MARIE SLATTERY, Dramatic Club, Art League, Athletic Association. thodest, simple and quiet, the very type of Priscilla? Marie is one of the quietest girls of our classeso quiet, in fact, that one is hardly ever aware of her presence. She is somewhat retiring and takes little interest in our social affairs. Marie is a ustari' in the German Class and also takes great pleasure in French, in which she is an energetic worker. If she once attempts anything, she is never satisfied until she has attained success, and her studious habits bring excellent results. But Marie is not quiet in the cooking class, for there one can see her busily applied to housewifely duties. Marie can tell you now how to bake oatmeal cookies. 85 FLORENCE SMITH, Dr'amatic Club, Art League. the silence often of pure innocence Persuades when speaking fails. Florence evidently believes that speech is silver and silence golden, for she is only heard on most important occasions. Her silence, though, has often shed a good influ- ence upon her classmates, for she was never known to do aught but the right thing. So studious and punctual is Florence that her classmates believe she is ignorant of the fact that Room 26 exists. She has distinguished herself particularly in French, but her entire record would be a credit to any one, for iistill water runs deep? HILDA STENGEL, Dramatic Club, Art League, Athletic Association. Her cheeks like the dawn of day. Hilda is noted at Woodward for three things: her blushing cheeks, her wonderful precision in everything she does, and her scholarly ability. Hilda especially excels in geometry and physics, but what about those chemistry problems? Since Hilda's talents lie in the direction of music, we need not be surprised in the golden future to see her name on the billboard as a famed pianists. 86 E. MARG ARET STEG EMEYER, Oracleil Staff, Art League. ltHer eyes open desire the truth; The wisdom of a thousand years is in them. This demure little miss is without a doubt one of the brightest girls of the school, for wasnit her averages ninetyinine and nine-tenthsimore or less. Margaret, unlike the majority of ubright folks,n is entirely unselfish with her knowledge, and often, when she might be occupied with her own interests, is she found trying to explain a problem or translate German for some less fortunate fellow classmate. Her presence is a pleas- ure, and her soft voice and gentle ways endear her to all who know her. NELDA STUEHRK, Art League, Dramatic Club. This dear little, vain little girl each day Puts on her veil and hat; And then, as she looks in her mirror will say, HOh, I can't be as handsome as thatll, Nelda, our musical weeper! Believe me, behind those laughing eyes lies a flood of tears. This young lady was the chief cause of discord in A Proposal Under Difficul- ties, played by the Dramatic Club. No, quite right, she looks innocent enough, but beware of Irish parlor maids! We all feel sure that Nelda's slim feet and daintv figure will some day grace the stage, for there is a rumor abroad that she has already invoked the muse of dramatic art. How we will all nod our heads and proudly say, HWe went to school with herf' B7 LENA SUTER, thn the light fantastic toe!1 Of course, we all saw Lena in the uSpanish Dancef, and though she is just a little moreewell, buxomethan our ideal Spanish dancer, nevertheless we are quite satisfied to take her as she is, and it would be a very particular mortal who wouldnlt be satisfied with Lena. She is another of our girls who intends to take up Gym teaching in the near future, and we feel sure she will make a success of it, as she is in her element when amidst Indian clubs, dumb-bells, parallel bars, etc. HELEN VAN HORN, Assistant Editor llAnnual, Girls Tennis Club, ltOracle Staff, Art League, Athletic Association. ltl-ler stature talle-I hate 3. dumpy woman.U Behold the crackeriackw pianist of the class. 0ft has the touch of her lily fingers on the keys wrung tears from the eyes of many in the Choral Club. Helen understands, as well, how to invoke the train of mirthl, through her lively dance music as through her conversational powers. The latter have been shown to good advantage in the American History class, first bell. She has a smile of udazzling sweetnessli and none of us blame her if this sweetness radiates more frequently upon the opposite sex, who think llLady Betty quite too charming for words. 88 STELLA VISCONTI, nLittle, butioh, my! Would you suspect this studious maiden of ever thinking of anything but her school work? No? Well, she does. But it isnot fair to tell in what channel her thoughts most frequently tum. But with all her faults she is a favorite, and nothing is too much for her to do when it comes to eehelping oute' friends. No one seems to know just what Stella will take up after leaving high school; but, whatever it is, we wish her success. ESTHER VOLKERT, Art League, Dramatic Club, Athletic Association. HI-Ier voice was ever soft, gentle and low, An excellent thing in a woman. Esther possesses a shy modesty that is greatly to be desired. She is one of the sweetest, yet most unassuming girls of our class. No one is more apt to do you a favor: no one less likely, perhaps, to expect one in return. 89 HENRIETTA WASHAM, Art League. tiWise to resolve and patient to performfl lf Henriettals translations are at times a trifle-erw-queer, we must not be critical. Virgil is so obscure at times; and, besides, none of us are perfect. Henrietta has said that she would like to become a domestic science teacher, but in view of the creations,, in millinery and dressmaking that she turned out in the domestic science department, we feel no hesitation in predicting that the world will not permit her to waste her talents in teaching. HELEN WASHBURN, iDramatic Club. ilNot a word more spoke she than was needed? Helen is well liked by all her classmates. She is not one of those brilliant, shining lights, but she does very well in her studies. No outburst of temper has ever been seen by any one. Helen is always cool. That is, unless she lays her hand upon a nice hot stove in the Domestic Science Class. We always tell Helen that she is too quiet; that she talks too little. But, alas! one of her teachers thinks she talks too much. In German class poor Helen is always getting caught. Nevertheless, we prefer some one who talks little to a person who talks until we are ready to fly. Doubtless Helenls talking ability will increase. At present we like her too well as she is, to wish any change. 90 MARGUERITE WATKINS, Dramatic Club, Oratorical Contest Small, but all here? Marguerite is a girl whom no one can accuse of overstudy, No, indeed. To many of her friends she is known as a very jolly girl with an ever-ready laugh. While you listen whole hours glide away, and you leave her saying, nl never laughed so much in my life? We hope that she will always be as happy as she is now. CECIL WELCH, Art League, Dramatic Club. Precious ariicles do not always come in small packages? Cecil was not always as tall as she is now, for when a Freshman we may recall her as being a rather modest and unassuming young person of moderate size. But, how- ever modest and unassuming her appearance, her nature was and still is far from being demure, as her actions have shown us. She is always ready to laugh, except when going to 21 Chemistry iest. But, to return to her stature, we find that as she advanced from the Sophomore to the Junior year, she grew to a height which is of great con- venience at times. Let us hope that she may have no aspirations of rising any higher in this world. ALMA WUEST, Dramatic Club, Art League. HYoung in limbs; in judgment old. Alma, the philosopher, the piano-player and the singer. In Alma is found an en- viable combination of a well-trained mind and a noble character. She is an excellent sudent, particularly proficient in mathematics and French Her piano playing is also worthy of recommendation. She can play almost any piece at first sight. She can also sing and frequently accompanies herself. The effects produced are quite thrilling Her wonderful progress in dancing is also noteworthy. When she came to Woodward she couldntt dance at all. Four years have now elapsed, and she has already succeeded in learning to dance a two-step. OLGA A. WUNSCI-I, Dramatic Club, Art League. HIf I should chance to talk a little, forgive me; I had it from my fatherfk Truly Olgahs conversational powers are boundless! She never grows weary of en- tertaining the non-studious student, who, by some lucky chance, occupies a seat in her neighborhood in the study-room. And then what a fascinating toss of the head she has! We think Olga must have acquired this unusual accomplishment during her trip abroad. You see, she has been to gay Farce, and many are the stories-intensely interesting, I assure you-that she tells us about her stay there. 92 F ,X wkyv 0115155 iEnvm mt tbwz tout short pram togztbm mm them pans of mark arm play, M12 nnm muat bin nut tuna fatzmzlls mm eatb 11mm upon biz may.

In spite of this fact the school continued to exist and retain its reputation as an in- stitution of high standing. i er s . t D QW W4; . V- v egh heath Algebra and Latin stalled a few of the original class, but the more fortunate ones passed on to the Sophomore year, thus mounting to the second rung in the ladder of fame. During the progress of the second year, it was definitely and unanimously agreed that geometry was not invented for ordinary mortals, and certainly not for the pleasure of its victims. In the meantime, having been introduced to the de- merit system, we found its grasp rather inconvenient at times, while little pilgrimages to the inner shrine tthe olficel were becoming more and more the pleasure of many, and the habit of a few of our Classmates, who did not believe in allowing their school work to interfere with their education. Passing on to the Junior year, we discovered that Physics is an exact science, that English absolutely could not be at- tained without at least a full haIf-hour of study every month, and that of all the members of our esteemed Faculty, Miss Lambour was the most thoughtful toward us, for she simply 95 would have us all leave our autographs in her little red book, ttCieSt vrai, nlest-ce-pas ? In all the departments of the school the B Grade has been well represented, not excepting the lunch-room which fact is probably due to the excellent example set by our most honor- able Seniors, while in the matter of athletics we contributed several members to the football and baseball teams, and the captain of the basket-ball squad. Soon after the February examinations a class meeting was called, and the following offtcers selected, to serve for the rest of the year: James Faran, President; Oda Speidel, Vice- President; Helen C. Cramer. Secretary; Albert Schreck, Treas- urer. At this meeting a committee was appointed to prepare for the dance, given annually by the Juniors to the Seniors. The results of the committees efforts were most gratifying, for all were pleased with the affair. In the early part of April, Harold Shreve was elected edi- tor, and Schell business manager of the Oracle. We trust that the Oracle will have its most prosperous and successful year, under the management of two such able members of our class, as may all other departments and organizations where- in we are represented and in which we take part. PHILIP E. LYON, ,12. F ex :1 1a .7'Vmwy Kt The Sophomore swaggers through the halls, With manners far from shy; He treats the Freshman with contempt, And rules him with his eye. But truly may we sympathize, And pity his sad lot, For the haughty Sophomore knows not, And he knows not that he knows not. 96 Ila: Irv 2m ,,,, Our poor, little, much-abused Freshman Trots about from room to room, With a meek and submissive expression, Like a convict at his doom. He bows to the Sophomore's mighty will, Obeys his least command; He envies the Senior's happy lifeh To him his promised land. 97 The School Entertainment was held in the auditorium Friday evening, February 10th, and the result was very grat- ifying to all dencerned. The management was in the hands of Messrs. Nohr and Sebastian, and through their untiring efforts the amount of $125 was cleared, This fund was distributed among the various organizations taking part.

Oddities PAUL LEVY IDS THE ORACLE VERY loyal Woodwardite since the year nine- teen hundred has been proud of the school paper, very suitably entitled the itOraclef, for it speaks the truth, and nothing but the truth. In the Oracle the pupil, Fresh- man and Senior alike, has had the oppor- tunity of displaying his talent; or if, per- chance, a talent in writing be lacking, to show school spirit and loyalty by submitting to its staff a stray local or anecdote, or, by merely subscribing for the paper. Under the editorship of Mr. Stuart Jackson, the paper this year has accomplished excellent results. It was with them the fervent desire to produce such results that the members of the staff entered upon their duties; and they have been well rewarded, forieach monthly issue of the paper has fairly bub- bled over with interest. And a hearty school spirit has been shown by the abundance of good material, in the way of school yells, of short amusing poems and fiction which were submitted to the paper. A section of the Oracle has been provided for every sphere of interest to the pupils of the school. There is the column for ttSchool Notes, which contains a brief account of the 104 events of the month; then, the column dealing with the Reg- uiations for Student Organizations? which is an addition made to the paper during the past year. In the department on itAthleticsf the work of our boys on the field and in the gymnasium has been enthusiastically written up; while in the column devoted to the Cadets, the marches and drills of our soldier boys, have served to fan the flame of the school spirit and keep it ablaze. The advertising section, too, has been remarkably well patronized for a school paper. A late addition to the Oracle, and one of its most interesting departments, is the section devoted to the pupils of the school, poeticaily inclined. ttPoetsi Corner? as it is called, has caused much amusement and entertainment to the subscribers of the paper. Many of our Freshmen, too, have cleverly and humorously displayed their talent in this section of the Oracle. Much credit is due to the Faculty of Woodward for the suc- cess of the Oracle this past year, and especially to Miss Thompson and to Mr. Jones, who have worked untiringly to make the paper flourish, and who have been the very back- bone of the staff.

Barr, marched alongside 0f the carriage and guarded our honored Alumnus from the over-enthusiastic crowd of citizens along the line of march. From this incident grew the organization known as the Woodward Taft Guard. Three years have now passed since its formation, and it is still recognized as one of the foremost student organizations. Owing to the newness of the school and its unfinished condition, there were no gun-racks, and had it not been for the kindness of one of the teachers, we would have had no place to keep our guns this year. In order to compensate for this slight inconvenience, the regular routine of drill was varied by skirmish drill, tactics when under Fire and approach- ing the enemy, sham battles and sentry duty. We were seri- ously handicapped, at times, by poor attendance; and those who did come, were made to suffer for it by having nothing but ordinary company drill and the manual of arms. On Thursday evening, November 17, 1910, the first meet- ing of the Loyal Legion was held. This is an organization 108 composed of all graduate officers of the Woodward Taft Guard. Its object is to keep alive the spirit of comradeship kindled by service in the Guard and to promote the interestsiof Cadet work. For a long time the Legion had contemplated giving some form of an entertainment. The composers of the ilSiege of TroylleRoe. S. Eastman and Herb. R. Wunderetwo well- known Woodward graduates, offered to donate all the profits resulting from the production of that opera. The manage- ment of the performance was given over to Clinton Wunder, iIO, and Julius J. Hoffman, 10, and they were empowered to arrange all business details. The receipts resulting from the sale of tickets, less expenses, were used in whatever way it was thought would do the most good. The Cadets next year will start out with more advantages than we of this year, and we hope that in the future the Woodward Taft Guard will grow and flourish to a greater de- gree than it ever has in the past. We hope that its influence for all that is good and all that is manly will reach through- out the school, throughout the community and throughout the country, and make llWoodwardll a name that is loved and re- spected everywhere.

On November 2, 1910, the Dramatic Club was organized. renting a hall. With Miss Armstrong presiding, the following officers were elected: John C.

The membership includes the greater number of teachers and pupils. These belong to what is called the active class of members who contribute five cents apiece for each school month. Former pupi1s and friends of Woodward who pay one dollar or more per year belong to the Associate Class. As is well known, the purpose of the League is to purchase works of art for beautify- ing the building and grounds and to increase the interest of the students in the beauti- ful and artistic. During the preceding years, pictures were bought and -stained glass windows and artistic doors were added to the building; but these! latter, unfortunately, had to be sacrificedrwhenxhe old building was torn down. At a meeting of the League, held January 19, 1911, it was determined to allow the funds to accumulate until there should be a sum sufficient to purchase some large pieces of statuary.

LL departments of Athletics have hard at very successfu1 year. The magnificent new Gym- nasium and its splendid outfit caused many students to turn out for the various teams. Not only were the annual football, baseball. basket-ball, and track teams reorganized, but many others, such as fencing, class in- door baseball, tennis and several swimming teams. The members of the football team began their early traine ing soon after they took up their studies in September. There were so many good candidates that Captain Butterfield had some hard work in picking out his eleven. They opened the season by defeating the Erlanger tKyJ High School Team by the score of 16 to 0. Haag and Foscula were the stars and made big gains in the enemyts lines. The second game with the Varsity Freshmen resulted in a tie. Hamilton went down to defeat by the score of 17 to 5. The game with Norwood resulted in a tie, but Franklin and Covington suffered over- whelming defeats. The final game with Hughes resulted in a victory for Hughes by the score of 11 to 0. Hughes put up a splendid game and won on its merits, Meanwhile the Basket-ball Team had begun earnest prac- tice, and a ttfivlety had been selected. Faran was made Cap- tain and Ward, Manager. Victory fpllowed victory until the Southern Ohio Championship was won. The scores of the scheduled games were as follows: At WoodwardeWoodward, 64; Giemi'aie, 7. At Norwood-Woodward, 30; Norwood, 28.

Woodward won the Southern Ohio Championship in Bas- ket-ball by the combined score of both games with Hamilton escore, Woodward, 48; Hamilton, 42. The first annual indoor track meet was held in our big Gym- nasium in February. The tiBl' Grade secured the trophy by winning the greatest number of points. The meet was held in order to give Dr. Rettich an idea of the kind of material he could use to the best advantage in the big mid-winter carni- vals. On February 4th the Celts held their annual indoor meet at the Music Hall Rink. Our Track Team showed its supe- riority over the other inter-scholastic entries. Martin won the 60-yard hurdles and the 50-yard interscholastic dash. The two Woodward relay teams won first places also. Several of the teams secured second and third places in the various events. At the First Regiment meet, held at the Armoryy on Feb. 18 and 19, the track team kept up its good work and won several events. A new plan has been devised in which an all-round tiW'i might be won. A contestant must enter in all events on the Athletic Calendar. Points, from 7 to 10, are given in each event. When a contestant receives one hundred points, he wins his W. Only six boys have won the honor up to this time, which clearly shows that this form of uW is the most difficult to win. I37 The Baseball Team has now been diligently training, and a good team has been selected. The prospects seem fairlv good, and the team hopes to win the majority of the scheduled games this season. Lawton was selected Captain, and Durand, Manager. The time has also drawn near when the members of the boys and girls Tennis Teams will be loosening up their rusty joints. The teams have formed schedules, and the champion- ships in ttsinglesil and ttdoublesi, will soon be decided. Nohr was made Captain, and Stark, Manager. Two indoor Baseball Leagues were established early 'in the winter, playing inter-class games. The National League championship was won by Room 92 and the American League by Room 40. A series of games will now be played between the two winning teams. The Swimming Team recently organized, is a new feature. Several fast men have been developed by the use of our splen- did tank, and the team will certainly make a good showing. Our boys have surely made a tine record in all branches of Athletics this year, and deserve much praise. We sincerely hope that they may continue their victorious advance this spring in the outdoor meets, and that those events will bring greater glory to Old Woodward. ROBERT NOHR, JR.

ISB SCHOOL AND ELIGION, morality and knowledge, being nec- essary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of edu- cation shall forever be encouraged? Thus read the third article of the liOrdinance of 17873 that ordinance which recognized the school as the foundation of our democracy, When the founders of our city First came to its beautiful site on the Ohio River, those were the words that rang true in their hearts; those were the words that inspired them and led them to rear the little log schoolhouse. With the humble be- ginning in such a school, education received its first encour- agement in Cincinnati. As the years swept by and Cincinnati grew, so, too, its schools grew and an ever-increasing stimulus was given to their cause. And then an unfortunate period of stagnation set in, and while other cities improved their means of education, our city declined as an educational center. Suddenly, about four years ago, an awakening took place. Cincinnati began to realize that she was not fulfilling her duty. The knowledge that her schools were insufficient to her needs filled her with shame. An extensive movement toward educational betterment resulted. A virtual educational Renaissance began to dawn, and to-day it has reached its I39 CITIZENSHIP culmination in the completion of the two palatial high schools, Hughes and Woodward, high schools second to none in the UNITED STATES. What should the glory of these two democratic institu- tions be? What do they stand for, and what is their purpose? Is it culture? Or is it the mere learning of facts? Alas, too widespread has been this fallacious notion among the Ameri- can people. They have thought, uLet the youth learn chem- istry, let him learn physics, and our country will be great; let him learn history and our Icountry will be safe; let him learn the Constitution, and we will have an alert and intel- ligent citizenship; give him culture and its refining influ- ences, and we will produce civic manhood? Yes, culture is good, but the school as the exponent of culture alone will fail in its relation to the nation. Culture is not the indispensable object of the school. The men who went before us and who are to-day account- ed the greatest of our nation, did not have a finished educa- tion. GEORGE WASHINGTON as a boy possessed a splen- did physique, and was inclined toward athletics; but, by na- ture, he was not a student, and his education moreover was limited. Born in the slashesh of Virginia, Henry Clay really had no education at all; nevertheless he rose and be- came a great factor in the national life of his day. Andrew Jackson, when thirteen years of age, was not a school boy, but a young boy patriot fighting among the heroes of the Amer- ican Revolution. And, lastly, the great President who died at his post in the midst of a noble work-ABRAHAM LIN- COLN-had but an affectionate pioneer mother and the Bible to teach him. These are but a few of the number of those who, without the culture of the school, overcame all obstacles and rose to greatness in their country. If not education, what was it then that lifted them upwards? What was it that characterized their lives and their work? It was a keen, active spirit of nationality; it was a generous and unselfish devotion to noble ideals for their countryls welfare; it was a piercing foresight of its great future and destiny. They were democrats, they were citizens of a youthful nation, which, like the youth has great difficulties to face and a future to pre- pare for. Truly, then, culture is subordinate to citizenship. This is the all-essential. Therefore the school should make for citi- zenship-not citizenship that is considered apart from daily life; not citizenship that is only expressed at the polls; not citizenship overruled by selfish interest; not citizenship con- tented with present conditions and indifferent to national progress. No, not that kind of nominal citizenshipebut that kind which is actual and real; that citizenship which is not revealed in political life alone, and then only at the time of the election; but revealed also in connection with the common and daily life. In daily life indeed is citizenship most truly I40 expressed; here alone the truest test of efficiency is applied; here the most accurate measurement made. But that this idealistic yet possible condition of true citizenship may ex- ist, an alert and undying civic sense must be aroused. The cultured man without this civic sense is a stumbling block, a rock of offense to the whole nation. A bad example to his less fortunate fellow-men, he causes in them a decay and rottening of the civic sense. Thus is the high purpose of education diverted to a bad channel, thus the destiny of the nation thwarted. For, shall education so refine a man by culture, that to him it is degrading to mingle in our politics because of existing corruption? Shall corruption be eradi- cated by such an attitude? Is it not while such passivity dulls the senses that graft insinuates itself and politics be- comes a game of ambitious politicians? LIBERTY is the essence of our democratic government and institutions. Only by an activity in politics can they be maintained. How, then, is liberty the patron of such re- finement, or how will she abide where there is no room for her? Of much greater service to our free government, indeed, is the pure, simple, unadulterated countryman who has the civic sense and plays his partehumble though it may bee- in politics. The cultured manis patriotism and civic sense should be intensified by his learning. As a student he has learned great facts, of Egypt, 0f Assyria, and Persia; how the in- stitutions of Greece flourished; how mighty Rome arose, ex- tended her sway by her powerful armies, and how she fell; how the invading and conquering Germanic tribes were over- come by the vast knowledge of the conquered. Of these events patriotism should say, Yes, through all the ages, by all these rising and waning empires, by these victories and defeats, God was preparing for our country? And now the student reads of his own country, and he thrills with pride at the deeds of his forefathersideeds of noble courage and unselfishness. Then PATRIOTISM mounting in his breast should say, iiThey have fought and died for the right, and now a great heritage and duty is left you. Even so dedicate yourself to the work which remains unfinished? Lastly, he learns not of' glories, but of evils in the national life of his day, how through lack of loyalty to the common good, graft and corruption exist in the public service; how for love of the almighty dollar, man hardens himself against the crime of child labor; how white slavers traffic in human souls, and how King Alcohol makes out of men and women drunken sets, and thrives only as hu- man lives go down to destruction. Here patriotism must say, K'These are evils of to-day, evils which are a blot on your country and civilization. They shall not continue? The school must keep the civic sense and the spirit of true citizenship alive. Thus will it prove a living factor in work- ing out the destiny of our nation. Would it be the ilcorner- stone of the Republic? then let it teach the youthful citizen that every effort and every work must go toward nourishing our country; that service and sacrifice are the noblest end; and that patriotism for liberty must stimulate to deeds of love and devotion. Impressed by these living truths, he can not but realize his duty to the Republic is not only to die I4I for her, but to live for her. For the present is a great era of ever-increasing international peace, when no wars call to the front, but when the brotherhood of man was never before greater, and when life means service. Yes, the greatest priv- ilege and responsibility of the modern American is to live, dominated by the civic sense. And now, one more thing is needed to complete the citi- zen's equipment for life, and that is RIGHTEOUSNESS. As true religion and righteousness only preserved the Jewish nation, 50, too, must they save our nation. As the old proph- ets were a defense to the Jews, so, too, have righteous men been and still are our defense. Good men are always the safeguard of all nations. On their examples, on their works, their teachings, their wi:dom, influence and religion depends the salvation of the nation. Not in vast stores of wealth, but in truth; not in great armies, but in righteousness; not in large navies, but in the strength of purity of religion is found the bulwark of safety for the people. The civic sense and righteousnessewhat an opportunity and privilege for the school! To teach them to the youthful citizen how great a service to the nationl Truly, in the teach- ing of them is the school the true Hservant of the Republic, and the training school of a citizenship, sane, strong, pure and brave. Modern education shall produce patriotism and interest in the national welfare. From the school the youth will depart refined by culture, yet strengthened in his na- tional spirit by a rich store of learning. The civic sense and righteousness-by these the United States will be a stand- ard among nations and will eventually lead the world. FREDERIC FRANZ.

A FRESHMANlS DIARY September 6.7With a ding-a-ling hat and a tailored suit I squeaked my way through the lower hall of the great palace of learning to Room 27. Here I met hundreds of girls whom I did not know, but who evidently were there for the same reason that I was. September leDid not get to see the chief yesterday, even after waiting until 2 p. m. I introduced myself this morning and was assigned to Room 66. September 9,-Spent the last two days in collecting mys- terious brown volumes. Have in my posseSSion a timevcard which I am supposed to follow, but so far have found where only two of the rooms are situated. September 12.-Lunch room opened. Asked my teacher where it was situated, and was told that it was on the top floor. After spending five minutes looking for the elevator, I de- cided to walk up. I counted 863 steps, but most likely I must have missed some in dodging through the crowd. September 13.4mm to Gym to-day and again I had to ascend to the seventeenth floor. When I am able to find my way around the building I will take the elevator. September laeHave spent all my pin-money for deposits and fees. I had to buy two locker keys at $1.75 apiece, place a five-dollar deposit for botany lab. and thirty-five cents for notebooks. They say the Seniors have to pay $5 for twenty sheets of Physics note-paper. September 26.el felt so embarrassed to-day when I was introduced to a real Senior. She seemed quite interested in me at first. Then she asked me to subscribe for the Oracle. I did so, and have not seen her since. October aeWent t0 the Auditorium this morning with I43 several of my chums. The hall was crowded, and through an error of the Faculty, the lower floor was filled with Sopho- mores, Juniors and Seniors, and we had to be contented with a seat way up in the roost. It did not make us mad until those below looked up with a knowing grin on their faces; then we realized our situation. October 10.-Am settled at last and running on schedule time. Had to abandon my hat, as it would not fit into the locker. October 25.nI-Iave been spending three cents a day for lunch. Next year I will get a job as a waiter and make up for lost time. November 6:7To-morrow I am going to bring my slate to school. I have bought eight tablets already this term, but they are all used up. I can not understand where the paper has gone to unless somebody stoe. but I know that it is wrong to think of such a thing. November 3l.eThe examinations are over, and I know that I have flunked, because they asked about just the things I didnlt know. I think that I will quit school next week. December SeWell, I didnlt exactly fail, but I do not want to discuss the matter any more. December 20.71 am going to take all my books home and study hard during the holidays. January 1,-Have not looked at a book. I have made a resolution to discontinue my diary and spend my spare time in studying. However, I must keep a book for expenses, as I have had to spend on an average of forty-nine cents a day for lunch checks and contributions. EES POSSIBLE That McKinney is handsome? That Harrel is dudish? That a pass in French is worth two in Chem? That Siebenthaler is engaged? That Pinkii Johnson is shy? To see through Mr. Homburgis jokes? That Lawton is modest?
