CLASS HISTORY 1911 Freshmen, but, of course, we did not think so. 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.
