The Class of 1912 has also taken upon itself this pleasant duty, keeping in mind the purpose to provide i some aid to feeble memory in days to come. We have left our iifootprints 0n the sands of timeli in Woodward, but as footprints in the sand may be washed away by the tide, so may we, also, in the rush of life, forget some of the pleasing friendships and incidents of these four happy years. If, as we in later years gaze upon the features of our former associates, if we are helped to remember them and the many incidents Which have made life enjoyable and happy in this magnificent home, then all the loving thought and care expended on this volume will not have been 111 vain, but will always stand, we hope, as a reminder of service willingly rendered. Not without a feeling of sadness, then, do we lay aside this task, knowing that many things have been left unsaid, but confident that What is herein printed will be received With appreciation. To MR. ARTHUR O. JONES as a slight token of appreciation for all 11: has clone to malts it a successithis Annual is respectfully cleclicatea. , :3 '6. - ,, y 4-4,. ,4 . m. $12391; HHU HHII 132m: Woodward Spirit Promotive of Best Citizenship 1. HE inquiry is often made by persons referring . to one school or another: iiDoes it really pre- pare young men and women for the more serious aifairs of after life, or does it merely afford a superficial polish that may easily be rubbed away in the rush and strain of living? In other words, the questioner wishes to find out how the school endeavors to fit its students for the most use.- ful citizenship in community or nation. In applying the question to our institution, let us try to show that the various carefully selected courses will be productive of a firm, industrial and cultural foundation for work in the sundry occupations of the complex business world. Woodward wishes the public to understand that she essays a cultivating as well as a polishing process through which those taking her training must pass. We all know that her moral interests and purposes are of the highest and we feel that words concerning him, whose purposes she was given to promote, can not here come amiss. Not that it is necessary to substantiate our l'Grand Old Man in any way, but that we may for a moment recall to our hearts and minds the ideals and practical good accomplished by the generous gift of the founder. How near to his heart must have been the happiness and progress of those poor, untutored children for whom the school was originally established! We all under- stand in some degree the attitude of pure brotherly love which prompted such an action. Never robust in body, Mr. Woodward might have refused public trusts of any kind and no one could have rightly censured him; with him there was no shrinking from duty, no cowering before hardship, no hesitation in the doing of a generous deed. Coming to Cincinnati in 1791, when it was a small but already thriving village founded by hardy men from across the Appalachian Mountains, he set up his tannery and went to work. At the same time he entered into the real estate business, making money enough in this way to warrant his consummating plans for publicly aiding the poor children of Cincine nati. In the year 1826 he entrusted a tract of seven acres of land to his staunch and sound-minded friend, Samuel Lewis, and a nephew, Osmond Cegswell, who were to act as trustees of a fund for the support of a free grammar school to be erected thereon. Childless himself, he loved children and gave to their cause with all his generous heart. As one studies his life two principles stand forth quite distinctly-his faultless honesty and his thrift. They seem the main springs of all his actions, and make of an otherwise quiet and uneventful life an example worthy of imitation. Knowing these facts it is but logical and correct to conclude that the principles of such a man consistently illustrated by his life, would neces- sarily impress themselves upon our institution and through it upon all life given to it for development. Indeed, it is a recognized fact that our benefactorls ideals are the ideals of the great school he founded, and that training towards them will always be one of the leading forces in the work of the institution. There surely is great reason for rejoicing that the machinery of our institution e the instructors and the pupilseare square. How could they help being so With such a founder? The students uniformly agree that their instructors d0 deal With them honestly and fairly. This honesty and the attitude of sincerity and trust adopted in all their work react potently upon the students themselves. Very rarely do we iind them using unfair means to any end, such actions being scorned as unworthy. We should not wonder, then, at finding in boys and girls passing from the healthful atmosphere of our school, a strong sense of fairness; a strong belief that the honest course is immeasurably the better and a firm determination to cling to our sig- nificant and well-known motto, HEsse quam Videri. The method used in Woodward in assisting one to meet in the best manner and to solve satisfactorily the mighty problem of making a livelihood is both logical and highly practicable. The plan provides for natur- ally and gradually developing in the students the fun- damental qualities Which a successful worker must possess. Next in importance, perhaps, comes the per- sistent efforts on the part Of the school to demonstrate the material value of work. This the pupil is taught by personal example and precept daily during four strenu- ous years. So, generally speaking, long before he is ready to graduate he has forgotten any distaste for work Which may have been in his heart at the beginning of his career in Woodward. He has reached the point of recognizing it as a saving factor in his life. It is true that a few may consider this habit of working of some- what trifling importance, yet we sincerely believe that any one of them would find it somewhat difficult to satisfactorily demonstrate the virtue of a contrary course. Almost anyone With experience can easily prove the inestimable merit of plodding industry in 10 promoting success. Of course, at first some are not so thoroughly nor so well impressed with the idea of hard work, but given the right conditions, such as Woodward supplies, there could, in the student body, rarely de- velop a desire for complete inactivity. Our school offers yet another quality of tremendous consequence in any undertaking. I refer to the ability to gain the best results through labor, together With the least possible expenditure of energy. If a Wood- ward pupil but recognizes his advantages he may be- come quite skilled in the paying practice of giving spe- cial attention to essentials and their relations to each other. Students of high-school age can not always readily recognize essentials When they appear mixed With a great mass of detail and comment; so the teach- ers take great care to emphasize the constituent prin- ciples of their several subjects. By this means the stu- dents develop a properly critical attitude and their minds are keen to find out the essentials of the subjects in which they are interested. The ability to separate the grain from the chaff, Which in its own time serves a Wise purpose, weighs mightily in the balance of pros- perity, because of its utility in grasping a problem and arriving at a sane and logical conclusion. Facts, today, point out very forcibly the supreme need in the indus- trial province of logical, practical men and women who have learned by the proper use of energy the conserva- tion of their own lives and their own happiness. In the race for a livelihood in this straining age, a man needs every ounce of strength put to the right place and he needs it all the time. The school, equipped with the besteboth of in- structors and 0f the conveniences needed to eliminate all material obstruction to educational progresseis also now better prepared to supply practical training to all her children than ever before. For a long time the thinkers in education failed to take into considera- tion the undeniable variation in need and inherent ability Which occurs in different children. Some time ago, however, the fact began to be recognized, and now in high schools we find an important change. Wood- ward High School now Offers a choice of several excel- lent courses of study which should not fail to provide for the natural unfolding of abilities peculiar to almost any pupil of high-school age. She has installed in her splendid new home, physical and chemical laboratories that adequately supply a means of acquainting the stu- dents 'With the laws governing the natural processes going on about us daily and of which the inventor and the manufacturer make use in solving their problems. Domestic Science is taught to the young ladies as a factor of tremendous consequence in home economy and happiness. Stenography and typewriting are recent additions to the school curriculum, supplying a long-felt need. There are also mechanical and free-hand draw- ing, subj ects Without Which the schoolls full aims would certainly not be accomplished. A chance for young men to lit themselves for shop or other practice in busie ness is offered in the Manual Training and Bookkeeping courses, the former of Which includes constructive work in wood and iron e a training which it would be superhuous to state has been proven both comprehen- sive and thorough. A glance at the foregoing, together With the knowle edge that there are taught, besides, a host of other equally interesting and important subjects, sufliciently 11 shows that Woodward gives an opportunity to each and every one Within her walls to develop that peculiar in- dividuality with Which everyone is blessed. In fact, there exists a tacit understanding among the instructors to sensibly accept a scholar as he is and to shape his activities into what seems to be his destined course. But Woodward does offer other benefits to her pupils than those that tend toward making for honest success in business. She recognizes to the full that men live by and with each other, and therefore wisely urges her course in the direction of establishing a healthy, nor mal relation between community and citizen. From the democratic ideals set forth by the teachers, the gen- eral feeling of good fellowship and justice in the stue dent body and especially the interesting course in Mu- nicipal Civics recently inaugurated by the school, there is established a desire and determination to stand for earnest, sympathetic service to the community and possibly e as has already occurred With a certain Woodward boy e to the nation as a whole. Thus does Woodward serve humanity as she faithe fully teaches her pupils to serve heresincerely and with incorruptible honesty. She would have her children be- come citizens, imbued with the deep and abiding sense of a true citizenls duty and his responsibility for the well-being of his neighbor and himself. With this spirit fully at heart, there stands no limit to the wise and effective work which he can accomplish in the individ- ual position that he occupies in the community. And so will he reflect the noble Spirit of Woodward. -HOWARD STANLEY MADDUX. 12 Louis Aiken Sarah Albray M. Louise Armstrong J . W. Becker R. G. Bilger Ella Brite Lillian Bronson H.

As a student, enthusiasm and thoroughness characterized her work, whether studying the kindergarten system at St. Louis or delving deeply into mysteries of Biology at t the University of Cincinnati and at Cornell. As a teacher, this same enthusiasm awakened the intense interest of her pupils. Her experience for several years as one of the directors of the kindergarten schools of St. Louis gave her a deep insight into child nature. Later this knowledge was no small aid to her in understanding the needs of pupils in her high-school work. Her experience as a teacher, her knowledge of the childts mind and her own comprehen- sible view of the subject of Zoology led to her successful preparation of a textbook on that subject for young people. As a friend she was generous and sympathetic, happiest when sharing the pleasures of others. Out of her life there came a tone of power, of love and of trut . We have but faith; we can not know, For knowledge is of things we see, And yet we trust it comes from Thee; A beam in dm-kness: let it gmw. Let knowledge grow from more to more, But more of revereme in us dwell That mind and soul, $00071!ng well, May make one music as before? 15 imggeg $ W$ 9 llWX W n 7 IR 5wa rt, J -1 'CS ' SW 3 ' . ,1. r; 4?: . v 45' J KER , . , m: r H. , ,. -.- . 35 ' ..:., ,-. , . . :z'HZT-m. 7 ., , .Lf 332$; .. . .c-Ef . - 1.1:;- ' . pa 51m Wm M W ayg 9., 7 ,1 7' I '1; WI? hm, W Jaqua , $374: 1,?! in ??yl ,M afyg h n 'M 0 x; . , i: I Va NX v1: x x x X K w'r' e-az y mi? ,I WW M g WU CLASS HISTORY r 0 great decisive battle, nor even a business K panic marked the year 1908, but in one way it remains memorable because, on a bright, sunshiny morning in September of that year, the class of 1912 came into existence. We shall not soon forget that morning, when, with anxious eyes, we waited, crowded in the Gym, to see the wonders of high-school life unfold before us. In about a week the novelty of the situation wore off and we settled down to the even tenor of things, which was interrupted only by frequent visits from and tol Mr. J ohnston and such novelties as demerits and examinations. Early in the year President Taft laid the cornerstone of the new Woodward building, and we then began to look forward to the day when we would occupy the handsome structure that was to rise above the stone. By the end of the year we had be- come full-fledged high-school students, entering into the affairs of the school with true Woodward spirit and vim, learning to root at the games and meets, and sub- scribe for the school paper, the Oracle. After the long vacation we became Sophomores. Owing to the crowded condition of the Ninth Street School, the class was divided, some of the members going to Ninth Street and the others remaining at the Third Intermediate. Somehow our importance was not at first recognized, and When our band of valorous and beauteous maidens entered into the life at Ninth Street, our upper classmen, accustomed to treating with chile dren, endeavored to lay upon us their law, and all we could do was to settle back and wish we were Seniors. 18 Many were the eye-openers presented those nrst few weeks, and such encroachments upon our peaceful en- j oylnent of things as were made through the medium of Geometry and Latin, were met and resisted only by stunts in the Gym and lunch room, and because of this, these two departments of the school have not since lost their attractiveness. During the second year we at- tended the Oratorical Contest, and a few were chosen to sing at Commencement. Everyone was impressed with the exercises, and longed for the time when he might walk down the aisle and walk, the observed of all observersi, in the midst of such another glittering throng. On becoming Juniors the full meaning of our privi- lege of attending a school like the new Woodward be- came clear to us. We felt its greatness and were filled with wonder over this grand million-dollar palace of learning whose existence caused what had been our mental picture of its shops, laboratories, gyms and auditorium to sink into insignificance. With the in- crease in facilities presented by the new building nu- merous organizations were instituted, and during our first season there we enjoyed a most prosperous year. because of our participation in things musical and athletic, through the medium of such as the Orchestra. the Choral Club, the Quartet, the Swimming Team and the Tennis Club. On the 24th of October, 1910, uNew Woodward was oflicially dedicated with impressive ceremony. On this occasion the cantata. ttWoodward a Past, Present, Future, by Mrs. Alice Brotherton, Mr. Shockley and Mr. Surdo, was rendered by the Choral Club, accom- panied by the Woodward Orchestra. The inspection of the school by the public occurred in January, 1911. All of the departments of the school were thrown open, and thousands of people passed through the building. About the middle of the year the class was or- ganized, James Faran being elected President for the remaining half year. A short time after this J. Harold Shreve was chosen Editor of the Oracle, which was to 63?ij its greatest year under the direction of the Class 0 912. As was customary, our clase entertained the Seniors with a reception and dance in the Gym, and the affair proved to be a decided success. When at last we were Seniors and had reached the final bend in the road, we found that our class was well represented in the various departments of the school. The nucleus of each of the several teams, the football, basket-ball and track teams was composed of members of 1912. ' The organizing of our class resulted in the choice of R. Wadsworth for President; Dorothy Anderson, V ice- President; Alma Sauer, Secretary, and Sam Rogers, Treasurer. Later, E. H. Bergmeier was elected Editor of the ANNUAL. This year the school has been the scene of many activities, among them several teachers conventions thow kind our teachers were thenD, and Founders Day, at which times the building was thrown open to interested visitors and alumni. Talks by prominent men, especially the series of vocational talks, varied the monotony of the school routine. At the Oratorical Con- 19 test budding genius was disclosed, and in the Dramatic Club such lights as Sothern and Marlowe were dimmed by contrast. The Art League has had a prosperous year, and through its activities the school is gradually becoming beautifully adorned with works of art in the form of statues, ferneries, stained-glass windows and pictures. As has become the custom, the boys of the A Grade entertained the girls with a Christmas dance and re- ception, and the latter returned the favor with a very delightful party on Washingtonls Birthday. The B-A dance was given with equal success, and all wished that there might be many more of these social gatherings. The many events that marked our last few weeks can not be described, but mention must be made of the Commencement exercises, without doubt the grandest event of our high-school career. The memory of those weeks of preparation and 0f the night itself, with all that Commencement night means to a Woodward grad- uate, will remain forever fixed in our minds. With truly sad hearts we said good-bye to school and severed relations which have stood for four happy years, during which time we had endeavored still HEsse quam viderili t0 rtStand for justice, progress, right and truthf, Com- mencement seemed to he a fitting climax to the remark able career of the Class of 1912. Let the world judge for itself as Woodwardis latest class leaves her protect- ing care. He? chidven from her door depart, Fm camp and court, for bar and mart, With brain and bmwn, with sword 07' pen, Equipped to play the part of men. aPHILIP E. LYON. RANDOLPH WADSWORTH, President, Class of '12; ANNUAL Staff; Quartet; Art League; Athletic Association; Football Team; Dramatic Club; Entertainment Committee; Tennis Club. When the cynic sayeth Whatls in a nameYn we reply that the name of this youth gives him his dignihed bearing. It is a name for matinee idols to rave over. Enough; we must not desecrate our President! Waddy has won fame on the gridiron even at the risk of taking out that delightful little marcel wave of his. No less achieve- ment has he to his credit in the Quartet because he has the courage to ttstick t0 the Duumvirate through many battles. Waddy is a vertiable Lord Chesterfield and his blue eyeseStop! We must not desecrate our President! He has guided us through storm to safety and now we will give three cheers to him! SAM G. ROGERS, Treasurer, Class of ,12; Athletic Association; Football Team; Track Team. Everyone knows Sam, so we will not do him the injustice of attempting to describe him. It is enough to say that his soulful eyes have worked havoc among the hearts of the girls, his saintly expression among the teachers and his little mouthebut that would be telling. His diminutive CD form land feetl were always to be seen in the thickest of the scrimmages the played guard and could not escapel and many a long gain was made over Saints broad back. As for humor, Sam has all other candidates beaten. He has even made some of our ttmummiestl laugh! While Sam might have had more luck in composition and Latin, he gets along very well. A book of Sam's favorite sayings would indeed be an easy seller. HHa! Ha! She sleeps. Fare- well, Sam! 20 DOROTHY ANDERSON, Vice-President, Class of '12; Representative of the Art League; ANNUAL Staff; Dramatic Club; Athletic Association. liHer voice was like the voice the stars Had when they sang together. Dorothy is as sweet as is her name! In the two brief years she has been with us Dorothy has risen high in our ranks. We had a difficult time deciding whether she should be Vice-President 01' Secretary of the Class. But we could not allow her to be both. See above for index of the arduous duties she has performed. And in her school work-well, she is certainly iismart, but because of this she is by no means uninteresting. You should hear and see Dorothy tell a joke: her whole face expresses it. And, as for wisdom, Diogenes certainly would have found a boon companion in er. ALMA SAUER, Secretary, Class of 12; Assistant Editor of the Oracle; ANNUAL Staff; Athletic Association; Dramatic Club; Art League. iiShe needs no other rosary, Whose life is strung with beads of loving thought? Every day is a pearl upon her rosary. In all the school there is no other to whom one would so quickly turn in trouble, nor could anyone give such help and sympathy. Alma's voice, ever soft, gentle and low, has not only won her perfects in elo- cution, but it has encouraged many a comrade, and her smile is a fitting complement to her motto, Cheer up. As Assistant Editor of the Oracle, her interesting articles have enlivened many of its pages and have always and in every way reflected her cheerful philosophy. 21 EDWIN H. BERGMEIER, Editor of the ANNUAL; Assistant Business Manager of the Oracle; Athletic Association; Art League; Dramatic Club. Thereis that everlasting Editor again! Rest, O sufferers; he will not disturb you any more. Bergy worked hard on this book, even at the risk of becommg lean. His achievements have won for him the title of the Other Wise Man, and, indeed, he is always sorry to tell of the heights to Which he has risen for fear of offendlng the other chaps and making them feel sad. Bergy is real jolly, at least When he trles to be, and thatis pretty often. With a sort of Damon and Pythias partnershlp a play was evolved which shows that Bergy has an insight into life as it is. With much gratitude for his untiring efforts to make this ANNUAL a success, and the recollection of his jolly good-fellowship, we pass on to the next. J. LOUIS MOTZ, Business Manager of the ANNUAL; Art League; Orchestra; Dramatic Club; Tennis Club. You hear a Whirr and a buzz and see a blaze of color. You feel alarmed until some bystander in a nonchaiant way remarks, gThat was Motz, alias Lux, Business Manager of the ANNUAL. Then you immediately know that he is sweeping down upon some unfortunate to see if he has had his picture taken. We often wonder how such a little fellow as Louis can make so much noise, but you see the same is the case with a cannon ball. Motz is a hustler from the word go. Witness this book, the regiglt of his efforts. Louisis business push will land him on the top in the future, to e sure. 22 ALVINA AUFDERHEIDE, Dramatic Club; Athletic Association; Art League. A good cook is the noblest work of God. Behold Alvina in cap and apron preparing a meal lit for the gods. Indeed, her talent runs in that line. Her doughnuts and cream puffs fairly melt in onels mouth. We, who have tasted them, cheerfully testify to their merits. You may think that she is as sober as a judge, but you should see her at the back lunch table. She is then the gayest of the bunch. Spanish is her favorite study. Some day, Alvina, you will receive your reward. We wonder who it will be? HELEN E. BARTON, Art League; Dramatic Club. 'Tis better to laugh than to be staking. The Domestic Science Class has one bright spot and that is Helen. She polishes her pots and pans till they shine. Her gods seem to be the Gold Dust Twins. Her partner sits back and watches the entire performance when Helen rolls up her sleeves and goes to work. We are sure this is a good sign. I wonder who that mysterious unknown is, that the girls tease her about. Of course, Helen, this is none of our business, but girls will be girls and we are interested. However, if Helen makes everything in the home shine like her pots and pans, she herself will surely 'ishine. 23 CHRIS J. AHRENS, Football Team; Art League; Athletic Association. Ahrensl The boy with the everlasting grin. A reward has been offered to anyone who has found Chris when he was not grinning. He and Bay' are qur stars at that occupation. With all his faults, Chris is a bad chemistry student, being espeelally so in purloining notes in Lab, where his ability is shown. To our great astomshment this year, Chris played football. We thought him too frail! He is also a great favorlte with the ladies and can be seen making eyes at the same, at any time of the day in the library. With all these accomplishments, Chris has been very popular, espec1ally with Fuzzy. FRANK ALBERS, Basket-Ball Team; Art League; Athletic Association. Here is a somewhat shortened edition of a basket-ball player. We have them in all sizes, gentlemen; take your choice! Frank can throw as many goals as he can Latin constructions CU. Frank's specialty is ties, ties which startle, and ties which please our delicate sense of perception; ties, indeed, of every color and combination of colors. It is pitiful to see him answer in chemistry; he seems to do it so comfort- ably CU, though he is somewhat of a star in that science, as shown by the brilliant reports he loves to take home. Frank may blossom out into a fine medic, but we should advise him not to kill too many at first. Good luck and i'vale. 24 LORETTA BERNARD, Art League. Sweetest songs, they say, are those which hold a minor key. It is indeed necessary to be gifted with an extraordinary keen sense of sight and hearing to know that Loretta is on the scene. We are surprised to learn that she will be a. housekeeper and home maker instead of a prim little uauburn-haired school- marm, for we had set our heart on that for Loretta. Indeed she knows when she knows Latin, for her translations are beautiful enough to bring Virgil from Elysium to hear her. Loretta enjoys things calmly, a fact that may be attributed to her great funds of reserve power. CORINNE BERTSCH, Glee Club; Athletic Assoeiation; Art League; Dramatic Club. Her appetite for knowledge is insatiable. Corinne is a modest, quiet girl with one great fault. This is her love for dancing. She would rather dance than eat, although it has been said that she prepares excellent dinners. Ask her about her lemon pies and fried oysters; they are phenomenal crea- tions. She seldom allows outside amusements to interfere with her school digging and her lessons are always up to the standard. Her great specialty is botany and we think that if she keeps it up, she will some day become the rival of the plant-wizard of the West. 25 J OSEPH ALBERT, Captain, Basket-Ball Team; Captain, Baseball Team; Football Team; Art League; Athletic Association; Track Team. Burr! BaldyI! Fuzzy!!! Just notice the chest on that boy, Will you? Fuzzy has been the leader of all athletics this year. To quote his own Words, He is e hear at it? Not since 1907 has any captain produced such a basket-ball team. J 0e 1s also a star in chemistry. So he says! Until lately he has not been in any way affected by dazzling attraction of the society of smitten ones, but we think he begins to look that way at last. Fuzzy has the stolid endurance of a fighter and the grit to use the best that is in him to win. This makes him the athlete and capable of leading men. We sincerely appreciate your efforts in our school, Fuzzy! JAMES E. ALLAN, JR., Dramatic Club; Walking Club; Art. League; Athletic Association; Fencing Team. Allanls greatest hobby is to find a successful way to kill time. Let us know When youtve found it, Jimmie. It's a secret, but they say that he took pills in elocution to rid himself of his timidness. He has, however, acknowledged his liking for a certain young lady in 12 and we are sure is hard hit. He laughs and blushes when her name is mentioned and we are certain the fair one returns his affection. He comes from the country tWestwoodl, but is quite civilized, I assure you. Jimmiels star in Latin rises and sets. One day he is a hard, industrious worker; the next, well, a :you know what. Jimmie is an artist in embryo. We confess a more than friendly feeling for him and wish him good fortune. VIRGINIA T. BIDDLE, Oracle Staff; Art League; ANNUAL Staff; Dramatic Ctub; Athletic Association; Class Poetess. Tis only noble to be good; Kind hearts are more than coronets. Behold our poetess! What would the Oracle have been without her flights of fancy that took form in poems and stories! We shall hear from her in the future, we feel sure, and we know her work Will be as enjoyable to her larger public as has always been that which we Woodward folks have enjoyed in the Oracle. Her thoughts are like aflock of butterflies. She has a merry love of little things And a bright flutter of speech, wherein she brings A threefold eloquance-mice, hand and eyes. Yet under all a subtle silence lies As a bircfs heart is hidden by its wings; And you shall seek through many wanderings The fairyland of her realities. GERTRUDE BLAIR, Financial Secretary oi Dramatic Club; Athletic Association; Art League. A more Winsome little lady Down the hall had waver walked, A mere charming little maiden Never whispered. laughed and talked. She is chte wone of our pets-and very saucy. Gertrudews braid of brown hair, hanging girlishly down her back, reached almost to the edge of her skirt. As a schoolmarm in Mistress Penelope, she was dainty and pert, that same thick braid piled high upon her head. Outside of plays, she cheerfully collected our Dramatic Club dues, which we all as cheerfully CD gave. WILLIAM N. ALLEN, JR., Art League; Dramatic Club. Billy has developed into a prominent Wireless operator, a second J-ack Binns, as it were, and we fully expect him to be flashing the C. Q. D. or S. O. S. hlmseif some day. Billy is also a. renowned chemist and delights in making many experiments, neither required nor desired, and often fraught with promises of open death to those who happen to be in the neighborhood of the experimenter. Billyis musieal laugh thy some compared with that of a goati has found charms in the ear of a certain young damsel of Whom we have heard so much in the Oracle. We think William will be in politics some day and probably revolutionize the city with his social and economic reforms. HUGH F. ARUNDEL, Athletic Association; Oratorical Contest; Walking Club: Art League; Dramatic Club. What would the Senior Class do without this illustrious personage? And Hugh is so graceful when playing basket-ball! He fairly skims o'er the floor. There seems to be a personal magnetism between Hugh and bashful bits of femininity, shown es- pecially in the halls and library. We love to hear his fine voice exclaim, iiYe call me chief! and many of us would have chosen him in the oratorical contest, but the fates decreed otherwise. Hughis latest ambition is to be an after-dinner speaker, but, as some iihorridii person has suggested, we do not believe this would spoil our dinner. Herets one for Hugh, general good fellow! 28 RUTH ELLEN BUCKLEY, Art League. ii Her voice changed like a birfs; There grew more of the music and less of the words. Little Ruth is very quiet ordinarily, but we suppose she saves her musical voice for better things. In addition to her school work, she has taken up the dramatic course at the College of Music. This has taken a great deal of her attention from Woodward, but those who have heard her there feel amply repaid for that loss. Many have been cheered up by her quiet, pleasing manner and when success finally comes to her, we know she will remember the Class of '12 of old Woodward. HELEN CRAMER, Dramatic Club; Art League. HO Helen. fair beyond compare, I'll make a. garland of thy hair, Shall bind my heart forevermair Until the day I die! This is plain Helen, as we call her, not because she is plain; no, not by any means, but because she has. only one name. Ye gods! what could the history class do without Helen? Sheis also always iiJohnny on the spot with the salt for Mr. Goodwin in the lunch room. We believe Helen is a talker, Which is not unusual iiin woman? She can even joke on the way to an examination! Helenis classmates Will long remember her smiling face. 29 JAMES L. BAKER, Quartet; Assistant Business Manager ofthe Oracle; Art League; Dramatic Club; Captain Fencing Team; Athletic Association; Tennis Club. This is Jim, the affable chemist, singer, actor and all 'round good fellow. He has proven to be a constant pillar of the quartet and, as an actor, how he made us trouble as the burly Blazer! Girls! how could you say Jim was slow? Only Witness his Marathon race after an Auburn Avenue car about 8:20 some morning, 2'. 3., when he has the coin, which he generally has. A11 Jimis education here has been gotten through absorption and he is especially good in studies where lectures are given. We do not know whether Jim will he a ttbasso or just a plain usher, but indications are that it will be the former because of his weakness for fair pianistes. Best wishes, Jim. WILLIAM BARDES, Assistant Business Manager of the ANNUAL; Art League. IBardes is a great business man, proving his ability by raking in money for the ads 11; LheIANNUAL CU. Wilham is not a big noise, but he is certainly not quiet, especially in machlne shop. About 2:15 he can be seen bribing some unfortunate to get him a ttRhodee or an Eleonh from the library because he cant endure going there in hIS greasy shop garments. This, however, is a common weakness and does not detract from t'WIIIyum's virtues. We all lament the fact that we must soon lose his strengthening presence and go out into the hard, cruel worldi-alone. 30 HELEN CELESTE CRAMER, Athletic Association; Girls Tennis Club; Dramatic Club; Art League. H er eyes as stars of twilight fair; Like twilightis, 1300, her dusky hair. Is Helen quiet? Why no; you may think so because you dont know her, but when she's in her bunch she is very lively. Then, too, Helen is very fond of gym- nasium work. She is a splendid swimmer. She is also domestically inclined and can make heaps of goodies! In French, the teacher was so fond of her that she had to leave her autograph in the nlittle book, but dont let that honor turn your head, Helflzn; others have been there as well, and we are glad to have had a like distinction wit you. PAULINE CRUMB, Girls' Tennis Club; Athletic Association; Art League; Dramatic Club. To friends a friend. Pauline first joined us in the fall of 1910, coming from Walnut Hills Where she was quite popular. We wish she had come sooner, for we do value her. She certainly is an entertaining talker, especially in German and where she plays upon the girls1 risibles by such remarks as Oh, Hes! feel my muscle! Her chief and only trouble in life is her surname, which gives rise to sundry jokes. Says one, iiWhy is Pau-line? HBecause she eats crumbs, says another. t'Who did Miss Crumb come with this evening? With the rest of the 10:1 , etc. Besides being a jolly good sport and a lot of fun, Pauline is quite a musician and is ambitious to become a great Violinist. To this end she will attend the College of Music, after leaving Woodward. 31 LEROY BAY, Art League. As remnants are always dearly sought by the ladies, Leroy is one of our ttsomel lions. There is never a dance or party that is not graced by his presence. He is forever'penetrating into the regions of 'tMoonlight Waltzes and Tprkey,,tan'ci he ls almost as good a dancer as he' is a student CU. And how he can grin! Far be 1t from us to attempt to describe his much-creased countenance. Anyone who has ever seen Leroy has noticed that grin. He trips so well on the light fantasticx' And has a. smile so very plastic; That everyone who sees Leroy Just must admilehe is SOM E boy. SHIRLEY BELL, Art League; Athletic Association; Tennis Ciub. This young man is the iitease of Room 77. If the hindmost part of your thinking apparatus receives a vigorous push, you may know it is Shirley. He is the bell boy at the library and we guess that he saves his surplus energy for that, for results of its use are not apparent in his lessons. Shirley's locker resembles a bookstore. There is a constant disagreement between the professor of German and this youth, so we know Where the numerous iishiips come from. Never mind, Shirley; Weill certainly remember you. 32 MARGARET DONOVAN, Art. League. Like twilighfs, too, her dusky hair, Yes, this slender little maiden, with the black curls, is Margaret. In the two years she has been in' our familyh thaving come from the Covington High Schoole she has made many friends. She has a great weakness for parties and is always just comlng from one or just goingH to one. We can not say that her Sportive nature gets the best of her common sense, however. ,Tis said that Margaret shuddered when Aneas went down into Hades, while the rest of the class was very glad he did. The Class 0f 12 Wish you great success in everything you undertake, Margaret! RUTH DRAKE, Art League; Dramatic Club; Girlst Tennis Club; Athletic Association. H er world was ever joyous- She thought of grief and pain As giants in the olden time That ne,er would come again. Ruth was told that she was a changed girl this year. If this be true, we believe that it was certainly a change for the better. Our friend seems to have a hard time getting to certain dances, but we believe that she has made up for all that she lost. Ruth's biography is hardly complete without telling her weaknesses-French, football players andAOh, well, we can afford to miss a few days of school, cantt we, Ruth? 33 CARL BERNET, Orchestra; Oracle Staff; Art League; Athletic Association. J ust talk athletics and Carl is interested. Anything from walkmg t0 prize fightlng he speaks on for hours. Every month, when the Oracle materlal was'due, Carl could be seen scrambling around, bothering everybody for somethlng to wrlte 1n the Athletles Department. The players in the orchestra being excluswely men, Carl finally consented to squeak his fiddle there. You must know that he has. not yet outgrown that feel- ing Which causes a small urchin to blush when made to eat Wlth a freckle-faced maid. Get over it, Cari! HARRY BLATT, Art League. It would indeed have been a calamity to Blatt if he had'not graduated with the noble class of :12. Early in the year Harry conceived the idea that there were other worlds to conquer and left school to try to conquer them. After a short period of wrestling With the conquering job, however, he came to the conclusion that there was no place like Woodward, and, unlike Jeffries, could and did come back. In machine shop Harry was known by more nicknames than could be counted, but the good-natured way in which he accepted them made him a general favorite. 34 LUCIA ECKSTEIN, Art League; Dramatic Club. ll Happy, light hearted and free. It is not seldom that Lucia is reproved for exceeding the speed limit. The velocity with which she executes her school work, in fact, anything, is marvelous. Lucia likes to sew iiawfully well and the beautiful creations that take shape under her deft fingers between daylight and dark each day are numerous and varied. Ah! Lucia, welll never forget your green embroidered waist! This optimistic young lady Will allow no one to be other than cheerful. She heartily endorses Milton when he says: Hence loathed Melancholyln Would that more of us were like her! PEARL EWING, Athletic Association; Glee Club; Art League; Dramatic Club. llShe was like the frolic wind that breathes the spring. Yes, this is our friend Pearl. Once she told us that llsome one said she was a pearl of pearls. Like all girls we have told the secret, but we do not definitely know who the someone is. It may or it may not be one of our athletes, for there is never a game where Pearl is not on hand with a whoop and a yell. She can be easily seen there for her head tOWei-s above the multitude. Pearl supplies some of the life of the Glee Club with her silvery laugh, which accomplishment will carry her through the world cheerfully and prosperously, we hope. 3-5 GEORGE BRUCKMANN, Football Team; Art League Alas! we poor overworked scribes are told to wield the hammer gently and hurt no oneis feelings, but how can we do it in the case of Shanks. Of course, we might crack a few jokes about his sylph-like form; and we might tell the truth about his steady work on the football team, where he was one of the mainstays; or we might expatiate upon his good work in his classes, but so much laudation would become monotonous. It is enough to say that Shanks looks uncomfortable behind a book and more in his element in a football suit. So long! ELMERE CHIPMAN, Art League. Chippy has truly been a unique figure in our little world tin fact, a iigure quite extendedi. It would be a tragedy CU to us if we should see Elmere dance, consequently he has- spared us that feeling and at our social gatherings has held himself aloof from the fan sex. East End clqims this young man and has reason to be proud of him. Hnsbandry eommangis Chippyts attention much of the time, especially that branch of it, Rabblt Farnnng. Every once in a while Elmere gets lively in machine shop, but his jokes are indeed fathomless. Good luck and a fortunate career to you, Elmere! 36 HAZEL E. FRISBIE, Oracle Staff; Dramatic Club; Art League; Athletic Association. She is a maiden gentle and kind, Her ambition the Muse of Art to find M odesty is her greatest charm, Which settles on others like a quiet calm. Those who have been let into Hazel's confidence hope that the visions she now has of future paintings and sculpture may come true and that she may have a real studio some day. Her special hobby is the study of different faces and heads mot as a phrenologist, howeveri. Her November cover design in the Oracle was so fine that it was used twice. Remember us when you are famous, Hazel! HELEN FROMME, Dramatic Club; Art League. Emblem of constancy A stranger might think this dark-eyed maiden quiet, but don't believe this for a minute. When Helen is with uher girls she is one of the chief fun-makers. Helen is fond of out-of-door sports, especially walking and skating. She is a star skater and cold weather has no terrors for her. It seems Helen never gets excited or angry, but in her optimistic way always overlooks unpleasantnesses. She is a friend in need and a friend indeed. Our best wishes accompany her wherever she may go. 37 FRANK H. COLE, JR., Art League. Faith and dancint schule is join. This is It Bright Eyest hobby. We learn all about it next morhing. In the Junior year you never would have suspected it of him, but that posmtlon of usher must have introduced him into high life. Before school Frank is like a sponge .because he absorbs every bit of knowledge floating around and so is one shmart boy in class. Everyone looks distressed when Frank begins to sing, but he does not ofteh favor us with the sound of his songs. Frank, indeed, is somewhat athletic and 11kes to skate. We believe that he will make a dent in our history if he keeps on. JEROME H. COOK, Dramatic Club; Art League. All hail to the God of Wisdom! Ye all do know him, gentlemen! Dignified Cooky dotes upon such books as HThe Scientiiic Analysis of Didds Character, and for recreation writes tomes of literature for the composition teacher. His crown- ing work was a play he and his partner wrote, but 'tis said he has fallen from grace and has succumbed to the insidious lure of the footlights. itCooky comforts him- self for his troubles in Gym by the thought that many of our prominent men are not athletic, and he hopes to be in that class himself. With studies mountains high this little fellow has remained on the honor roll. Such a person as Cocky should indeed be an inspiration, for he is not only a good and thorough student, but a staunch friend. HAZEL GLENN, Glee Club; Athletic Association; Art LeaguE. And her smile, like sunshine, darts Into sad and happy heartsf' Methinks I dreamed a dream that all good people come from Hyde Park. Hazel is from that vicinity. ThereforHOh, Whats the use? Giggling Hazel causes even Mr. Homburg to burst out laughing. She certainly is irresistible. Hazel is also interested in photography. When the subject came up in Chemistry, she was ready to answer all questions 60 Hazel has great trouble keeping her place when someone is translating Virgil and I fear there is some strong attraction two sections to the right of her. Fess up, Hazel! We wonit tell. MARY E. GOODE, Art LeaguE. Stiil waters mm deep Mary is one of the bright stars of the Greek class. She is verylstudious and particularly fond of French. Niestce pas, Marie? This Goodiei girl 15 true to her name; she is rather quiet, but she can laugh, of which fact Mademoiselle does not seem sure, but we girls know better. Just get Mary started and-good-bye! Mary is noted for her neatness. And she believes that exactness in little duties is a wonderful source of cheerfulness. Mary goes to the U. C. and with her go our good wishes. 39 GEORGE DAVIO, Athletic Association; Art League. George is one of the smaller members of our class, but we never fall to know When he is around, because he has never taken stock in the phrase 'Mumts the word. A cute chap he indeed is, and one day be amused us 1mmense1y 1n gym by pullmg the wrong pin on the horizontal bar and naturally receiving a bouncmg reward. Of course this was a very foolish thing to do. George has a penchant for sugts of the chocolate ice cream variety and thus is very conspicuous. Wlth such a good-natured disposition may his path continue as care free as it has been to date. ROBERT DECKER, Track Team; Art League; Dramatic Club; Athletic Association. It is not difficult to remember Robert when he entered Woodward and indeed there are some even who can recollect him as a tow-headed youngster playing marbles on one of our prominent streets. This year Rob has been showing us how to play basket-ball every afternoon in the gym. But dance Rob can not, although we know he is not adverse to the fair sex. Rob is. a treasure in the machine shop and can cer- fairlilwagak fast if he wants to. After this we shall let him rest in peace.U Good uc , o . 4O MABEL G. HARTMAN, Dramatic Club. 'lGrace was in all her steps, heaven in her eyes, In every gesture dignity and love. Mabel came to us this year from another sphere. Consequently, she has not been as well acquainted as the old llhabitues. It seems that Mabel must give more than the traditiona one hour to American history, for she rattles off her lesson like a book, stopping only to look at copious notes. Mabel and her chum, Marie, take many books home every night and itls a foregone conclusion that they read them, of course. Mabel is very exact, conscientious and persevering and we are sure that she will be a credit to herself and to Woodward. VIOLA HAWTHORNE, Athletic Association; Dramatic Club. But for the apeken of her conscience, She was so charitable and so piteous, She woalde wepe, if that she same a mans, Caught in a trappe, if it were dad or bledde. This quotation illustrates how 'lchicken-hearted Viola really is. She is one of the sympathetic girls of the class. If you want sympathy and are feeling blue, just go to Viola. She Will have you laughing in half a minute. Viola can be almost frivo- lous at times. This is not mush and milk, and we hope that her future may be as bright and as happy as she has tried to make our present. 41 HARLEY Ft DELANO, Art League. It seems sad that Delano, who does such quick and efficient workiin machlne ghop, should come from TuSCulum. He deserves a better fate. Harley llkBIS composmon, as we all do, of course, and every Friday morning may be Seen scurrylng ground for the lesson which will soon be due. Delano's talents also run in. the muswial line iand we are sorry that we can not speak from personal experience of his abillty 1n playing the piano which, he assures us, he can do to perfection. We shall long remember Harley s grin and his musical laugh and when we go out into the hard, cruel world that grin and that laugh will cheer us on our way. CLIFFORD H. DORNETTE, Representative of the Art League; Fencing Team. Silence is Golden. That is Cliffordts motto. It is a relief to sit near him While all around are miles of tichatter-boxes. Did you, 0 suffering classmates, feel as if someone was placing an icy hand on your neck when Dornette with a cold stare came in May to collect your Art League dues from January? You have all experienced that feeling! Then this apparition would melt away with a gentle smile and you would feel better though deprived of your car fare for a week to come. We all admired the little speech Cliff gave in Room 77 and make the prophecy that Dornette will some day be an orator, though indications are not that way now. MARIE A. HOFFMEISTER, Art League; Athletic Association. We can do more good by being good, than in any other way Donit be surprised to learn some day that Marie is not as quiet as she looks! There is a cell in her brain which is labeled HFun, and it is well developed, too. It seems Marie prefers gentlemen of tall stature. I Wonder how We discovered it? Marie generally shone like a star in physics and geometry, an occasional haziness serving to brighten it all the more. Your silence, Marie, serves you in good stead, sometimes, for often Mademoiselle says: How does it happen, Miss Hoffmeister, that I skip you so many times? We Wish that same would happen to us now and then. Oh! weill remember you, Marie! CAMILLE HOLBROOK, Art League; Dramatic Club. Lillie, but all here. We wonder if the little of this quotation applies to Camille in both dimensions? For information apply to Room 58. Camille never allows her lessons to bother her and Whenever one chances to meet her, she is whistling away just as hard as can be. She has caused several of the faculty to look out of the windows in search of flitting song birdsibut it was only Camille testifying t0 the fact that 'tis better to laugh than be sighing. So it is! Can Camille sing? Well, I rather guess so! 43 HOWARD DOYLE, President of Athletic Council; Entertainment Committee; Manager of Football Team; Basket'Ball Team; Baseball Team. The most gifted scribe would indeed fail to do Larry justice. In the first place, he is a star athlete, being the mainstay on the basket-ball team and, in fact, the whole baseball team. If it would not be casting insinuations we could describe the wonderful fall into the water which he calls a dive, but which we term a .fall from grace. Larryls a husky athlete this form is by no means sveltl and his flashing black eyes have made him loved by several of the fair co-eds. Since lessons do not appeal especially to Doyle, we know he has a career in Athletics before him. ELLARD B. DUANE, Swimming Team; Art League; Dramatic Club. Duane has tried his hand at everything from football to ladies man. He has even posed as Odiva and has given us all sorts of aquatic performances, diving in such a way as would make a ttfrog turn green with envy. There was a wild rumor cir- culated throughout the school to the effect that Ellard was a singer, but after his first attempt before us we were all disappointed to find that it was only a rumor CD. Ellard has indeed a fine sense of humor which keeps everyone laughing, but his monotonous tone often produces a contrary effect. Hels there When it comes to a true, honest and jovial friend. 44 RUTH JOHNSON. Art League; Dramatic Club; Athletic Association. Ready in heart and ready in hand Quiet Ruth! Yes, thatis she. But those are generally the ones to whom we go for help, and indeed her copious notebooks are always kept up to date for us. In the four years of Latin spent with her, she has always been unprepared out of class, but certainly preparedn in class. Ruth can play like an artiste and it comes in handy in gym and music room. Like her big brother, she loves chemistry, although she did break three test tubes in one day. It is with pain we part with you, 0 quiet Ruth! FRANCES LOUISE JONES, Art League; Dramatic Club; Athletic Association. Press on! Thereis no such word as fail; Press 14.0be on! The goal is near - Ascend the mountain! Breast the gale! Look upward, onwardenever fear! Frances is such a late comer into the class of '12 that she seems almost a guest!3 Her record is the three high schools she has attended. Traveling is her specialty? for is not one a fine traveler who comes from Madisonville each morning? Eh, Phil? Frances also dates on physics and American history and civics, therefore she must be a remarkable girl. Take the above for your own motto, Frances, and our wishes accompany you as you follow its lead. 4:5 DONALD EHLERS, Oratorical Contest; Oracle Staff; Walking Club; ANNUAL Staff; Art League; Financial Secretary of Dramatic Club; Tennis Club; Athletic Association Woodward has produced many celebrities in her day, but by far the most renowned of these is the mighty humorist, Donald Ehlers. Don claims he is not funny; indeed, we are at least sure he believes in the Conservation of Natural Resources, for his locals in the Oracle are generally purloined from locals in the exchanges of distant towns. Most of us do not know the difference! But all this is secondary when we think how fascinating Donreally is. He is brilliant, has a strong personality, dances well, is clever to talk with, is a fine tennis player, can manage a canoe like an Indian C'Nicht wahrf Don'n, is a great swimmer and a squeaky-voiced oratoreall these, and more, too. He is one of the reasons why we are sorry to leave Woodward. MORRIS D. ERVIN, Athletic Association; Art League. Morris is the long, handsome chap from Dayton, Kentucky. Dashing and debonair, he has endeared himself to all his classmates. There are probably two great weaknesses in Morrisis makeup, one of which is Solid, Which he just loves, the other admiration for Ce. We fear that Mr. Pabodie has not always had his undivided attention in the Virgil class and for this the aforesaid fair Ce must be blamed. Morris hopes that she will smile at him some day. Never mind; we like you just the same, Morris. uLove is like a dizziness I t winna let a poor body Gang about his biziness. 46 ANTOINETTE V. KAUFMANN, Athletic Association; Art League; Dramatic Club. hCupid is a kmwish lad thus in make poor maidens mad. Tony never misses a dance if she can help it, and she can always be seen keeping time With the orchestra music Uzhat is, after school, of courseL 'Tis said Tony can dive hwe wonder if she aspires to be like the other AntoinetteL and what a. strength and support she is to the Latin class! She's quite a singer, too, and was an important member of the Glee Club. As for admirationhwell, never mind; she's a great girl and we wish her luck. FLORENCE KNUEPFER, Dramatic Club; Athletic Association; Art League. Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low?- An excellent thing in woman. Her sweet disposition is a distinguishing characteristic of Florence. Another is her perseverance. Florence, do not think that oxygen is an element in which to drown people! Let hydrogen have some share in it. She got the thimble in the cake and we,re certain that that is the sign of an hindustrial life. But the Fates are equivo- cators, you know, and Florence has just the qualities that go to the making of a cozy home. Proud are we to say that we went to school With her! 47 JAMES J. FARAN, JR., J unior President; Athletic Association; Swimming Team; Art League. Jimmie hails from Hyde Park which place seems to be the breeding place for comedians CD. Jimmie often tries to crack jokes, but generally forgets the point himself and has to give up in despair. He is the great kidder and the force of the things he says, falling upon some unfortunate wretches, can be traced to the height from which they fall, a distance of some six feet. A11 joking aside, Jimmie made a iine basket-ball captain, but we were handicapped to some extent by his disability to play during 1911-1912. Although he is not a very verbose public speaker, he is a jolly fellow and We are glad he was our Junior President. WALTER FINKE, Art Editor of ANNUAL; Art League; Athletic Association. Speak softlyh I see seme one approaching. Methinks it is the other artist of ,12. He! Verily! It 15 Walter, the art editor of this blue-covered iiJoui'nalFi Seine one in the .dll'n past has declared that a microscope is required to see through Finke,s cartoons in the Oracle, but that person doesnit evidently know what art is. ' By means of his great mental ability, Walter has determined that twelve square inches make a square. foot tbut there are strong objectionsi. It is to a few energetic 1nd1v1dua1s such as Finke that the Class of 12 is indebted for this, its latest achieve- mentsthe ANNUAL. 48 ELSIE KOPPE, Athletic Association; Art League; Dramatic Club. And still they gazed and still the wonder grew, How one small head could carry all She knew, Elsie's head, at that, isn't large for such a young girl. We know Elsie can be frisky and mischievous, but her g1asses always impart a look of wisdom. We can hardly believe that she has given a certain professor so many strenuous moments. Her dreamy eyes would make one believe that she is a great astronomer, 0r star- gazer, but she confines her interest to such prosaic things as German. Much success, Elsie! EDA L. KRAMER, Athletic Association; Dramatic Club; Tennis Club. Gram her, besides, of noble blood that run. In ancient veins are heraldry began, Her manners are those of the perfect lady. So graciously courteous, so serenely quiet, so daintily dignified in her bearing is Eda that one thinks she might well have graced the quaint dim halls of some old castle, long ago. And how her little feet can dance! No satin-gowned duchess could have bent and bowed her stately rounds more beautifully that Eda trips our modern two-steps and waltzes. Certainly the memory of this classmate Will gratify With visions of quiet graciousness. 49 WILLIAM C. FOSCULA, Captain of the Football Team. This is Bill, the fellow with such a dignified bearing that Freshmen alil along his way shiver in their boots.u Poor Bill! His has been the rocky path the year. He captained a good football team this year, but alas! elrcumstarices ousted him the week of the championship game. With Bill at full' back, we certainly would have beaten Hughes. He is some orator, too m. Many were the cheers and hendciaps when he had finished his oration in our rostrum. Bill intends to go to Michlgan and star at football there. So long, Bill. WILLIAM FRERKING, Oratorical Contest; Dramatic Club; Art League. Orator m. Actor CID. Athlete 0WD. Will has already won his spurs as an orator; he may some day set the world ablaze with his acting, but he will surely surprise us all if he should ever do an exercise in the gym correctly. He has an affectionate nature that caused the French and Physics teacher to sit up and take notice occasionally. This trait of his character has won for him the charming title of Lovesick Will? but we think the Oratorical Contest has subdued this peculiarity. When we hear Will laugh, it is hard to think of him in future life as a stern lawyer. But this is what he has determined to be, and next year we shall see him at the Cincinnati Law School. FLORENCE KRUEGER, Art League. Thy heaven-seeking gaze has no charm for some eyes ,Tis because the pure spirit within thee, that's reigning Exalts thee above the vain pleasures they prize. One must be Within the circle of Florencels friends to know that she is jolly, for she prefers not to distribute her merrineSS broadcast. The borrowers always sweep down upon Florence, for she is stocked with pencils, pens and theme tablets CD. With all these, she keeps her temper, but when a chemistry test happens along, then we see her slightly disturbed. A frequent loud Go or? is heard in Latin when Florence translates, but somehow she is interesting in it anyway. Those who know her appreciate Florence's excellent qualities. AMANDA KUENNETH, Art League llA happy heart is better than a full purse. The prize for giggling, ladies and gentlemen, may be justly awarded to Amanda Kuenneth. This irI actually missed in Latin one day on account of it, and once was given a front seat y Mr. Aiken because of it. But giggling is no crime and only shows the happy, whole-hearted girl who does it. Elocution seems to delight uMandy most. She justs loves to speak from the rostrum and let her large, full tones C0 shake the Auditorium a sedibusf, During the four years at Woodward, Amanda has made many friends, all of whom appreciate her very much as a good friend and a pleasant companion. 51 WALTER B. GIBBONS, Oracle Staff; Walking Club; Art League; Dramatic Club; Fencing Team. Behold! the historian, the' living Ready Reference for facts important end other- wise. Get Walter to talking about Civics and your hopes of dinner rapldly fagle. This glib youth never studies. Donlt accuse him of 1t, if you do not W1sh to raise his wrath. Besides, he loves chemistry, but we know that he gets many hints from his druggist brother and from his intimate acquaintance with the laboratory teacher. The fair sex has great attraction for Walter and he is seen at 3.11 functlons. Few, indeed, are his enemies. We congratulate him upon his good record, and hope that he Will keep it up. HARRY J. GRAFE, Art League; Walking Club. Oh, you carburetor! Everyone acquainted with Grafe knows this to be his- pet expression. Harry is the class wit of the first and second period manual training boys. When anything good, bad or indifferentinew or oldiis floating around, Grafe is sure to lispring it. One good thing about him when he gets funny is that if no one else will laugh he will do all the laughing necessary. That he still lives is due only to the extreme generosity of the bunch, for many a poor unfortunate has met that fate for saying less. Good luck to you, Harry! 52 ALMA B. LEVI, Athletic Association; Art League. Blessed with that charm and certainty to please. Those flashing black eyes certainly belong to no one but Alma and we are all familiar with them. Alma is a quiet girl and rather hard to get acquainted with, but when you know her she is very jolly. Two great faults m we see in this maiden: first, her extreme neatness and, second, her attentiveness to the teacher in reci- tations where the rest, alas! are too prone to giggle. We do not know what Alma will do after leaving Woodward, but we wish her success. FLORENCE E. LINDSLEY, Art League; Dramatic Club; Oratorical Contest. 'iEveryone excels in something, Oh! 'imirable dictu, this little lady actually delights in mathematics and even that dreadfulii solid geometry does not terrify her. When Florence was in the B grade she spent a great deal of her time in the physics laboratory winding a motor and, what is more wonderful, cutting and sawing boards for a bridge! We often wondered what it was foria bridge of sighs, or one into dreamland? The silvery- tongued Florence may become as great a physicist some day as her distinguished teacher. Who knows? 53 HORACE GRILEY, Walking Club; Art League; Dramatic Club. No, this is not Horace Greeley! It is our own Griley. Look closer and you will be able to discern that look of wisdom which only a fullefledged semor oan posseas. He is one of those few quiet, unobtrusive fe110Ws who insist upon keepmg tn then- own shell as if someone were going to harm them. His retired nature 15 most probably due to the place from Which he hails tWestwoody Horace perhaps thmks that the affairs going on about him are not important enough to expend very much nervous energy upon. It is good that some of us can do the listenmg. Eh! ELMER C. HAKE, Dramatic Club; Art League; Athletic Association. The next specimen is the long, thin chap who dispenses lunch checks With so much speed and grace. He intends to make use of this early training and has already signed a contract to sell tickets at one of our leading picture shows. Elmer once had a chance to win fifteen cents by a single grin, but failed to collect although he tried so hard that he was in a hospital for two weeks after with a sprained countenance. Elmer likes to work hard and he reminds one of a modern Napoleon, solemn and majestic, sometimes smiling and planning somebody elsets Waterloo. 54 HELEN G. MCNUTT, Vice-President of Dramatic Club; Athletic Association; Glee Club; Art League. nI do but sing bemuse I must. llWhere is Mt. Healthy? someone asks. HBeware! 0 youth, of the anger of Helen! Helen thinks Mt. Healthy quite important since it is her place of residence. She belongs to our chorus of songbirdsl' and we should not be at all surprised some day to see Helen tripping across the stage in some new drama or singing in grand opera. Worse things than that have happened. But Helen does not spend all her time on Latin and such stuff. She can trip the light fantastic very gracefully, showing that the Terpsichorean art has attractions, too. She,s an all-round girl, is this Helen, whom we speed on her way. ANNA C. MARTIN, Art League; Dramatic Club. Calm, steady and modest is this maiden If anyone deserves 3. halo above her head, Anna is the one to have that honor. She is the shining light in the Latin c1335, as well as a culinary expert in Domestic.,, Oh! the ginger cake that Anna used to make; to taste it was to forget itinever! One day Anna actually missed in Civics. Really! Her part of ttAuntie in The Dress Rehearsal was very realistically portrayed. We wonder why she was so anxious to practice? Let us cease to wonder over this small detail When we consider the largeness of the result of that earnest practice. In the meantime, let us not fail in being glad that Anna is one of us. 55 GEORGE F. HERMANN, JR., Stage Manager of Dramatic Club; Art League; Athletic Association. George, alias nSkinner, is one of our jolliest and best-natured classmates. 'Her- mann is a loyal member of the Donit Worry Club and cqnsequeritly never SECIZIficeS pleasure for school work. Yatz has a weakness for certain peculiar phrases, origlhal and otherwise, Which he constantly changes to suit the demand. We plty the in- truders behind the scenes in the Dramatic Club When a play happens to he on. The Dramatic Club indeed appreciates his efforts as Stage Manager, for dld not such important assistance as he lent promote its success? ROBERT HOLZ, Art League; Athletic Association; Dramatic Club. High society has lately been compelling the interest of Bobby and we fear that this mirth is too much for his delicate constitution. Bob, as we all know, is a great student and shines in elocution, Where he likes to give his opinion on the iiPromul- gating of Soporific Cogitations and the Articulation 0f Superhcial Sentimentalities, as though he knew What he was talking about. This padding is noticeable in American history. But Bob can make you laugh and he certainly tries hard enough. We like to see him wink his eye. We hope to see you make good, Bobby. 56 PANSY MATSON, Art League; Glee Club; Dramatic Club. Silence hath become her mother tongue. Pansy is as meek and demure as the other pansy which grows low in the shade, out. of reach of the summer sun. Her smiles are of the rarest and make one forget the tribulations and trials of school life. Stump speaking for womanhs suffrage would not be in her line, but we do honestly think she should make an excellent nurse. During the brief period she has been with us she has become one of us and we gladly classify her as comrade, true and tried. HENRIETTA MAYER, Glee Club; Athletic Asmciation; Art League; Dramatic Club. uGood nature and good sense must ever join. At Hrst glance Henrietta seems to be a demure, qqiet girli buj; Weeks: are. often deceiving, for on closer observation one can see the Imp, M'lSChlef, lurkmg 1n her dancing brown eyes. Well, you should hear her laugh; 1t falrly gurgles put when it comes. If the way toa malfs heart is through his stomach, Henrletta 15 sure to win, for as a Bridget her reputation is established. These hobitugn'ies contain a lot about sweet, but pray let me use it once again for it surely apphes here. thtle, but oh, how 5 ! 57 LOREN HOWARD, Art League; Athletic Association; Basket-Ball Team; Baseball Team. Humbo has made quite a name for himself, especially along athletic lines. In basket-ball we fear the score on the opposite side would pile up w1thout our-Loyen as guard on the job. Then along comes baseball season am! we know, accordmg t0 Loren,s story, that nothing ever gets through second but dges rlght there: We like to hear our Loren tell jokes, because they often have a pomt. lee the Spec- tator, Howard knows a good deal, but no one is aware of it. Thanks, old boy, for the laurels you have won for Woodward. ROGER INGELS, Art League. And now here,s Roger, quiet, bashful, unassuming. But, alas! His is a sad story! 'Tis said that he once was approached by a beautiful damsel Who, taking ad- vantage of Leap Year, invited him to be her fate. Roger paled. His beautiful raven locks stood uerectae der his noble brow and he departed for the tall timber With uniformly tand greatlye accelerated motion. His speed startled the natives of a distant land Where he arrived, but he was finally lassoed and shipped back to Wood- ward in time for the lesson in his beloved Solid, next morning. Ever since that fateful event, Roger has been more quiet and bashful than ever and will walk a mile to avoid a similar experience. 58 GLADYS I. METCALFE, Glee Club; Dramatic Club; Art League. A companion that is cheerful is worth more than gold. The gayest, merriest girl you ever saw is Gladys. She has a little giggle and a pleasant word for everyone. She is one of those tthappy-go-lucky girls, Who take things as they come. The one sad moment of her life was When she received her Chem. examination mark. Her brilliant answer in the writing of Avogodrds law so pleased Mr. Homburg that he read it to his classes. That is some distinction! Never mind, Gladys; just remember that ttThough you stumble oft, never be downcast, Try and try again, you'll succeed at last. IRENE A. MITCHELL, Oratorical Contest; Art League; Dramatic Club. ttFor she in pleasant purpose did abound, And greatly joyed merry tales to faine, Of which a storehouse did with her remain. Irenehs imagination and conversational powers are boundless. How we love to hear her tell of some of her thrilling experiences. There is ever an interested audience about her. Although some of Irenets remarks are a little queer, we know they just pop out and therefore she is a delightful companion. Irene rose to the ocassion in the Oratorical Contest and her earnestness surely commended her to the judges. Our only wish is that Irene may not waste her talents on the desert air. 59 ROSWELL A. JOHNSTON, Dramatic Club; Oratorical Contest; Rose Johnston, the melon heaver! Ask Roswell if he ever revived from the effects of eating eight sugar melons and two watermelons on the iispecia last summer! Johnston is an expert photographer and loves to tease the girls with pictures of un- known friends which he has secured through some of his professional work. He has just the name and presence to make a fine hero in a melodrama, and we have indeed seen some of his work along that line this season. Although I just made it in time this morningii we know that HRose is a hustler and we certainly pity the rest of the world when he is set loose in it. J OSEPH KATZ, Dramatic Club; Fencing Team; Athletic Association. Oh, girls; look whom herel Katz, H andsome because of his beautiful black, wavy hair. Joe can toot the comet so as to put the itinerant baker to shame. Besides this, indoor baseball claims his attention, but does not interfere with the program of tripping the Ilight fantastic one night every week. The study-room boys love to hear him tell Jokes. Wonder Why? Though Joe has only been in this country seven years, heIhas mastered the. English language and passed through high school easily. In him lies that characteristic which Hpushes persons through life, and we know J 0e Will make good use of it. 60 EDNA MUTH, Athletic Association; Art League; Girlsj Tennis Club; Dramatic Club. She is pretty to walk with And witty to talk with And pleasant to think on, 1003; e'Alas, Spoke Melancholy, nhere have we one who will not weep. No, Edna will not weep. She looks on the bright side of life and makes it brighter with her contagious giggle. Her great desire is to be thin, but because of her wonderful ap- petite eeven eats at midnighU her desires in this direction are ever thwarted. She has found a new method of proving the law of gravitation urade-marks still remain, anSal: Laxvrenceburg and another at Thirteenth and Vine; Ednaes favorite saying IS ure. IVA M. NASH, ANNUAL Staff; Art League; Dramatic Club. Soft curling locks, soulful eyes and a saintly expression. Yes, this is Ivaiquiet, warm-hearted Iva! She was one of the few to eebuck up against Solid and we, who were not in those forces, admired her for it. The Editor had few gray hairs on Ivaes account, for she was one of the most punctual in handing in her ANNUAL material and in attending those delightful Friday afternoon assemblies. Her somewhat retiring disposition seemed to keep her from the social life of the school, but this may also be attributed to her eeindustriousnessf for Iva is indeed a musician and a worker. Good fortune, Iva! 61 DANIEL KEILSON, Dramatic Club: Athletic Association; Art League. Well, here comes one With a paper! It is Dan with a'history outline, twelve pages long. This young manis inclinations point rather to writing iaw documents: thah to speaking. For proof of the latter, see his contortions in eloeutlon when reeltmg i Mr. Jones, bring over the boat! Danie position on the floor is never very stable,'re- minding us of iiPunch and Judy. Notwithstanding all this, Dan is a hard working, bright fellow and we have every hope for his success. ARTHUR H. KNEBEL, Athletic Association; Art League Lili Arthai ran a hard race with Monce and Cookie for the honor of infant of the class and just escaped by appearing in long trousers at the beginning of the senior year. He has won fame, however, in two different ways. He was one of the thin iiblue line of heroes who struggled With Advanced Math long after Solid had killed most of the regiment. Yea, it was a hard siege, but he came through ready to do battle with any college course. Knebel is also quite a violinist and plays any- thing from That Mysterious to Beethoven. His good nature is abundant and his quiet, friendly ways are appreciated by many of us. 62 GERTRUDE NEUMANN, Art League; Dramatic Club; Athletic Association. ttShe doeth little kindnesses, Which must leave undone or despise; For naught that sets ands heart at ease Is low-esteemed in her eyes. Gertrude, our consoler! Believe me, behind those laughing eyes lie wells of sympathy and kindness. A11 maidens laugh more or less m, but Gertrudets laugh is of a genus all its own. It's a faint chuckle, irresistible and delightful. At one time she showed some promise of becoming a stenographer, but other pressing m business, I suppose, has destroyed that ambition. Take with you, Gertrude, our best wishes on your lifets journey! ELSIE I. OTTING, Vice-President, Athletic Council; Art League; Dramatic Club; Glee Club. uAs full of sunshine as a breeze? Elsiets remarks are so funny and so numerous in Latin, that we wonder, some- times, whether there be ttmethod in her madness. She may be right in saying that Hit is beautiful to die in arms, but we rather doubt her statement about Caruso and his relationship to Aeneas. . Being Vice-President of the Athletic Association, her interest in all 1ts games is exceeded by few, if any. She attends every game and every meet and roots en- thusiastically for the home team. This we can safely say is not caused by her interest in the other sex as the Hhe in the question is not very athletically inclined. And so it goes! 63 CALVIN KRAUSS, Dramatic Club; Athletic Association. Someone has said that Calvin sets a doubtful example for the school. We dont believe it, however. When we see him tripping on the light fantastic toe the- longing to anotheri after the manner of the Grizzly B , We are indeed proud of him. Krauss had many thrilling experiences last summer and continues to have them, but they are secrets and can be obtained only from the other members of the Triumvirate, H012 and Reynolds. Three days. a week he may be seen pondering deeply on the questions at issue in English, but when the current of his profound thought is interrupted by a question, he remains silent. Let us allow this merry Lochinvar to rest in peace. ERWIN H. KREIMER, Business Manager of the Oracle; Art League; Walking Club; Dramatic Club; Athletic Association; Tennis Club. Let me introduce you to Erwin itlong drawn out, but all there. Erwin is one of those individuals Who has nothin to do but while away his time getting advertise- ments for the Oracle. To be sure is name is on the honor roll; he is a winner of Day Bequest tickets, he acts in the Dramatic Club, he plays the part of A Grade mailman and does other ordinary school work and we suppose that he studies Physics in the A Grade in order to keep his average from exceeding one hundred per cent. Only a few know why Erwin liked A Grade composition m. It's a deep secret. When the word star is applied to him we know it is used justly, for we recog- nize that splendid height can not be reached by ordinary mortals like the rest of us. 64 MABEL C. OTTING, Athletic Association; Oracle Staff; Art League; Dramatic Club; Glee Club Sly coquetteifair musetie. Here is the other Otting twin? Elsie and Mabel are not sisters-just staunch friends- twins they are called. She, too, is fond of athletics, having attended every game and meet, rooting enthusiastically thereat. She told us in Elocution that she didn't know why she liked it, but she just knew she did like it. Mabel is a Iirst-class swimmer, too. She intends to go to Indianapolis to take the training for gymnastic teacher. Who knows? Some day Mabel may be Woodwardhs athletic instructress. RHODA PEARL PERIN, Dramatic Club; Athletic Association; Art League. With genial joy, to warm the soul Bright Rhoda mixed a mirih-inspiring bowl. Here,s little Miss Muffett, for sure. Sprightly and vivacious Rhoda Pearl from hah! thaths the sad part of ithTusculum hquocumque e30! She must come so far- every day-but then, she generally has plenty of company. Your Princess Freda was charming and we Wouldnht have minded having a little nectar ourselves. Who could imagine the present diminutive, laughing Rhoda Pearl being a suffragette or a social worker? But we have our suspicions. She may become real earnest some day, however. Whispers also come that she Will be a French teacher in the future. How about it, Rhoda Pearl? 65 GEORGE V. KRUMPE, Dramatic Club. Behold the second representative of the iiFrolicsome Four! George was one of the members of the Tenth Legion in the French class, but he deserted the rainks before the second campaign was over and the legion has found itself 1n several tlght places since then. Dancing is Georges avocation, and the time is enerally Saturday night; the place, a celebrated dancing school; and the fair 011k rumpe knows that best himself. At the beginning of the year George was more frisky than later on, but we attribute this sobering down to his earnest and successful struggles to see his cognomen appear on the honor roll. His ability to iibuek up against work W111 surely cause George to make a. name for himself. ALBERT LACKMAN, Athletic Association. Some heartless contemporary has unjustly termed Lackey iiseven feet of nothing. This is a gross cruelty to such a gifted man, for he has the commanding appearance of a Swedish orator, the lighthearted good humor of a chorus girl, and a grin that rivals iiSunrise from Eden Park. He can ask for a two-cent lunch check in silch a joking manner that his poor victim is always 'itouchedii- both at funnybone and pocketbook. We hate to prophesy as to his future, but anyone who has heard his lectures on the auto show Will stamp him as an automobile salesman. Thereis no doubt about Al's popularityganyone who is such an irresistible funmaker is bound to have a host of friends. 66 LILLIAN PRICE, Oratorical Contest; Art League; Dramatic Club. A daughter of the gods, divinely tall And most divinely fair. Lillian is one of the best elocutionists in the Class of '12. We listened eagerly to her cool and collected delivery of the beautiful oration 'hZenobia. It seems to us that Lillian would make a hue actress and that with her mellow voice she would fill a good Portia 0r hRosalindh role. She has a very sweet disposition, but we fear a slight tendency towards frills and furbelows in the coiffure line, not to omit mention of her large bows 0101: beaush of ribbon. We can not speak disparagingly of Lillianhs school work, for she has always been on the safe side of the fence. HELEN EMMA PURCELL, Art League; Athletic Association; Glee Club; Dramatic Club4 h Her eyes were bright and merry, She danced in the Spanish whirl, She took ihe world 2'71. its sunshine For she was a blithesome girl. Sis, as shown by the picture, is a golden-haired girl with the Irish blue eyes. Sis is exceedingly popular, especially in the social way, with both sexes. Her lessons often suffer since she many times spends the Hwee sma, hours away from them. Believe me, she is some rooter at our games. Wonder why? Nothing quiet about Emma! 67 ELMER J. LOEWE, ANNUAL Staff; Art League. When we come to the next boy, we ponder. What has he done during these four years? Has he been fme in Chemistry? Has he been a star in Physics? Prob- ably both of these and more besides, although his name has not appeared on the honor list! He may yet become famous as a physicist! An interrogation point typifies this gentle youth. Many are the times he has shortened our recitation period by his endless questionsequestions so penetrating that the teachers have been lost in wonder at their profundity. That constant inquirings make people wiset must be Elmer,s honest conviction, for he keeps at them. This tall, husky youth has the gift of gab and we hope it Will stand him in good stead in the future. ELMORE LOUGHMAN, Elmore is indeed a fine fellow, but we Wonder why he makes the southwest corner of the fourth floor his holdout during recess? Can it be that it is because there are quite a few of the fair sex passing there from the lunch room? Authorities have con- sidered Elmore a star in Physics, but owing to the ambiguity in the meaning of the word ttstar, we are not sure of its application. Did you ever notice that lovely hair of ttCurly? It IS admired by everyone and is always tttailored so exactly. Never mind, Elmore; your calm disposition has won you many friends. 68 MIGNONETTE M. RAIDT, Athletic Association; Glee Club; Dramatic Club; Art League. iiRich in saving common sense, And, as the greatest only are, I n her simplicity sublime? Mignon is one of the best pals we know. She has an irresistible little laugh and in Chem she fairly bubbles over. And wasn't it terrible, Mignon, when the Chem- istry professor found it necessary to rearrange our seats? I don't believe she ever recovered from the shock CU. iTickling the keys into harmony and making the piano talk are two expressions which can be applied to Mignon. She is some ar- tiste, believe me! When she leaves school we believe she will take up music and thenithe glorious future for Mignon! ETHEL M. RAIRDEN, Art. League; Dramatic Club. Pleasant, fair, agreeable and sweet. When Ethelirises to translate Latin, the rest of us sit about with iierect ears. Ecce! we whisper, for it is pure pleasure to hear so smooth a translation of Virgil. Very quiet, very shy, Ethel seldom speaks unless spoken to and even more rare is her laugh. She moves like a girl in a book, so tall and slim and dreamy is she, and There is a. garden in her face, Where roses and. while lilies blow. 69 ED. LUDWIG, Dramatic Club; Art League. Chahming, I assuah you is Edward, the rosy-cheeked. We all admire him for his beauty and he is certainly an enthusiastic and graceful exponent of the art Terpsichorean. His sweet smiles and brilliant sallies have always proved more at- tractive in certain directions than the learned discourses of our German professor, Consequently Edward also has been gratefully rewarded with numerous demerits. Math seems to be Ed,s stumblingblock and we do not blame him. We fear Edward spends too much of his time in study period gazing at his image in the mirror, as Narcissus did. But we would not have you think for a minute that he is conceited and vain. Donit entertain the idea! Edwardis just a big-hearted boy, thatis all. PHILIP E. LYON, Business Manager of Orchestra; Leader of Quartet; Oracle Staff; Art League; ANNUAL Staff; Athletic Association; Dramatic Club; Entertainment Committee; Tennis Club. Phil has won his reputation as a musician from his competent management of that iiFamous Woodward Quartet m and his ability to adapt himself to any musical instrument whatever. Phil says he never believes in allowing his school work to in- terfere With his education, which he derives mostly from the concerts and operas in grand old Music Hall. One title given him by the boys always provokes his wrath. Why so, Phil? The best way to get along with Phil is to iifuss with him. If you can do this in the right way, which Jim says is only to be learned by experience, you will be his life-long friend. 70 OLIVE M. RICHARDSON, Oratorical Contest; Art League; Dramatic Club. A comrade blithe and full of glee. Who dares to laugh out full and free. Always happy and gay is Olive with a sonorous laugh so contagious that we are all affected and, before we realize it, we are giggling just as much as she is. Very often we hear her say, Je n'eu sais rien, but we, of course, know that it isn't so. I wonder why she enjoyed the A girls, reception so much? Therets a reason! Olive Was the star of the Oratorical Contest. She did shine! Listening to her mimicry, whole hours glide away. With such gifts, we have no fear that Olive will not make her mark in the world, Wherever she may be. MARY RIEMAN, Art League. A beautiful and happy girl, With steps as light as summer air, Eyes glad with smiles and brow of peace, Shadowed by many a careless curl. A t'husy little bee is Mary and just as willing to help us in Mathematics as when we are preparing for a party. Mary has a cute way of speaking, the words coming out in little gasps. tthwfully clever, yes. that's another characteristic. A girl who can paint, draw, use the typewriter, puzzle over that terrible Solid Geometry and then have time to take French as an extra deserves a. gold medal. And she receives it from the hearts of her admiring classmates, in their hearty appreciation of all her admirable qualities. 71 LAWRENCE R. LYTLE, Athletic Association; Art League; Dramatic Club. Did you hear that laugh? It approaches a- chuckle, nearly, and it comes from a jolly youth. In order to prove to the doubtful that he is an actor, Lawrence sacrlficed his shorthand and took the part of ttHis Highness the King in The Royal Run- away. Lawrence is well up in his studies and manages to make a. h1t w1th the teachers. No pony ever helped him on an easy road to Latin, consequently he Is a favorite of Mr. Pabodie and his translations can actually be understood. .Lawrence is a fine fellow for a friend, and not one of us but regrets parting from hlm. ROBERT MCROBERTS, ANNUAL Staff; Football; Dramatic Club; Art League. Little Robert, our infant prodigy, may be likened unto a flaxon-haired cupid bereft of his wings. Yet, 0 maidens! why does he insist upon playing football and ruining his ttfatal beauty m. Indulgence in this strenuous game has so hardened Macts nerves that he will risk anything. To make things clear, we would say that he is always to be seen at the head of the Fifth bell Virgilian cavalry troop tor tropei. Mac firmly believes that German should be abolished from high school. The fact is that his Scotch hrogue does not mix very well with Die Lorelei, and the only phrase he never says is ttIch weiss nicht. When we inform the students of U. C. that next September he intends to he with them with his weighty presence shall we say it regretfully? And how Will they receive the information? 72 MABEL H. RIGG, Art League; Glee Club; Dramatic Club. Meekness is often the mark of might. Such a little girl as Mabel finds it hard to convince people that she is a real Senior. The haughtiness of Senior ways, the long dresses and the pompous airs were never known to her. Rather is she a small, demure little maiden who has astonished 11s with the high German grades and studious habits, when we were prone to believe that she had a doll up her sleeve. Mabel has lovely, waving, black hair With a natural curl that is most fascinating. She has, too, an entrancing voice and that she,s with us we rejoice. MABEL EVELYN RUGGLES, Glee Club; Oracle Staff; Oratorical Contest; Art League; Athletic Association. HBetter to be a little of something, than a whole lot of nothing. Evelyn is one of the jolliest girls in the A Grade and she is invariably around when any fun happens to be on foot. Besides being jolly, Evie is also a warbler and therefore is a member of the Glee Club. Latin and Greek, also French, are Shorty's specialties and she is always Willing to impart her knowledge to some needy neighbor, which aid is always appreciated by her friends. She is also noted for her Latin prose which great work of art tcnnsidered so by her fellow studentsb she distributes freely and gladly. Evie has not yet chosen her life work, but whatever it may be the best Wishes of Class 12 go with her. HOWARD S. MADDUX, Representative of the Art League; Oratorical Contest; Dramatic Club. Howard has so many bad habits CD that we have to use a great deal of discretion in selecting a few of the most aggravating. First, he has the habit of coming 'round every month and demanding ten cents for Art League. We have no hope of freeing him from this habit. Next, he has the habit of rendering his own version of Shake- speare so pathetically that the whole class is driven to tears. In this line he is also hopeless. Least, but not last, is his habit of rising and giving perfect recitations when all the rest of the class has failed. Howard is quite an orator, author and actor, and no six-syllable word in American history can phase him. When you want a hard work- ing, intelligent young man, apply to Howard Maddux! GORDON MARCKWORTH, Subscription Manager of the Oracle; Manager of Fencing Team; Art League; Athletic Association; Tennis Club; Walking Club. We have only one fault to find With Gordon, and that is his place of residence; but, at that, it's fine to be up tend outl where the sun shines and the breezes blow in the summer time. Gordon has no special ambitions, but he is thinking of being a forester and taking Gifford Pinchot's place in the political limelight. Almost any day he may be seen pushing the bookcart and perhaps twho knowsD he may some day push around an- other kind of carriage. Gordon, with his cotton top, is one of the most amiable fellows in the school tespecially in Latinl and we hope to see him often during college days. RUTH RYAN, Dramatic Club; Art League. u Her manners are so pleasing and kindly that she makes friends with all who come in contact with her. Ruth did herself proud in helping to make our Washington's Birthday party a success. At every committee meeting, there she was with pencil in hand and paper scribbled over with all that it would cost to furnish us complete with the little things that count at social balls and parties. Ruth is as quiet as she is competent and just as unobtrusive. At sight of her one thinks Look ye now, This maiden hath broken from some nunnery. IRENE SCHLUETER, Glee Club; Athletic Association; Dramatic Club; Representative of Art League; Oracle Staff. tTis better to laugh than be sighz'ng. This is ever-smiling Irene. The picture does not show the twinkle in her eye. We have seen her smile during her four years at Woodward and are proud to claim her as one of our classmates. She loves to dance, sing, play piano, tell funny stories l ?l about her heroes and, last, but not least, study Um. We can not help thinking that Irie will become a great inventress, because she is forever devising ways to get through recitation Without studying and What is more, she does it, too. We should love to discover the identity of this hero that Irene tells so much about. What of it, Irene? HARRY MARTIN, Captain of Track Team; Athletic Association. Martin is certainly a speed marvel. Anyone who has seen him go speeding down the track at a ten second per rate, will not wonder why he is spoken of as an Olympiad candidate. He is credited with equaling the worldls record in the sixty-yard hurdles, covering the distance in seven and two-lifths seconds. He has made even better records than this, for he covered the one-year Physics course in the remarkable time of one and one-half years, with Mr. Simon running a close second throughout the race. Martin also ran a close heat in Solid and just won out by a few Inches. All joking aside, we expect some wonderful performances from him in future athletic contests. EDWIN W. MONCE, Valedictorian; Oratorical Contest; Athletic Association; Dramatic Club. It is a wonder how Monce ever lives through Saturday and Sunday without his midday meal in the lunch room, but he does. These lunches have, no doubt, been the source of his never-ending energy. This was evident in the Oratorieal Contest with its tribute to the Ballot Box which will never be forgotten. Monce has al- ready begun making furniture for his future home. tWho is Shelli Though small in stature, Edwin has convinced Dean Schneider that he is mighty enough to master the Electrical Engineering Co-operative Course. Perhaps we have here a genius who will outrival Edison, for, as an orator, he has certainly outrivaled us. HESTER SNYDER, Athletic Association; Oracle Staff; Art League; Dramatic Club; Girls' Tennis Club. A little nonsense now and then. Is relished by the best of men. If you want heaps of funii apply to Hester. In half a minute she will have you laughing. Did you ever hear her tell some of her jokes? She is Well versed in the Rhine Language and is the ringleader in German. She is a bit mischievous and none of the teachers has the heart to punish her. Judging from the size of her knocks in the Oracle, she must be capable of wielding a large hammer for her size. Through her cute ways Ted ipardon our familiarity has won many friends among her classmates. HELEN C. SPARKES, Dramatic Club; Art League. Better late than never.h iiBlazes surely lives up to her name. If it had not been for inexhaustible stores of humor and her ability in banishing dull care, she would often have been in the dumps. Helen certainly does not believe in intense application to her studies, even though he is 3. Chemistry teacher. We no longer wonder Why she is so interested in a certain high school. Helen excels in Art and Literature, but is undecided which study to pursue. We know that if she decides on either of these she will prove a credit to her Alma Mater. 77 ARTHUR MORRISON, Athletic Association; Dramatic Club; Art League. A flaming torch, to light us on our way. We must state that the above quotation positively does not refer to the hair of the subject in hand-not at all; far from it. It is merely a figurative way of express- ing his brightness in school work tadvanced Math exceptedi. It seems odd, though, that such a loyal router should always wear Hughes, colors-and Arthur certainly is a loyal router. There is never a game of any kind goes by without him in the bleach- ers, and at the Hughes-Woodward game last fall he was the only tiwarmh looking individual on the field. He's a fine, straightforward fellow and a good steady friend. EARL MOSSMYER, Track Team; Orchestra; Fencing Team; Dramatic Club; Art League; Athletic Association. iiMossyh is famous for that blush of his. It begins at the back of his neck and spreads with a wonderful crimson glow over his whole seraphic countenance until he is indeed a bright and shining Tight. This has caused some to think that he is shy, but that is a mistake for he is tisome bear'i with the girls. Mossy fiddles industriously in the orchestra, while his translations in German are things of beauty and a joy forever. But the track team claims his time and many victories for Woodward in the last three years can be attributed to him. May he keep it up! ODA MARIE SPEIDEL, Junior Class Vice-President; Art League; Athletic Association; Girls' Tennis Club; Dramatic Club. ii Happy am I, from care Pm free! Why aren't they all just like me? Worry? A quoi bon? Oda has a peculiar walk that is fascinating. It is a distinguishing characteristic of her. She was Vice-President of the Junior class and nobiy'i fulfilled her oaice. At the B. A. dance, we poor, meek m Juniors were proud that we could put forth such a pair of Hfinished products as Oda and our President to lead the Grand March. We often see Oda exchanging a joke or two on her journey through the halls and this but confirms us in our opinion that she is a jolly good fellow. Oda seems to be fitted for the duties of a social queen and we hope that she may be one some day. KATHRYN STERLING, ANNUAL Staff; Art League; Dramatic Club; Glee Club. Maiden with the meek brown eyes, In whose orb a shadow lies, Like the dusk in evening skies, Kathryn tremember how it is spelledi is a most charming young lady, especially when you s eak to her. The Glee Club could not get along Without her surely and the Dramatic lub-well! you should see her take the part of the colored Mammyh in The Dress Rehearsal. We love to hear Kathrynis cute little giggle in Latin when she says something a Hlittle queer. Kathryfs patience and good nature are bound- less tbut be careful of that first name. We are glad to have known you, friend, and we bid you Godspeed! 79 EDWARD MUELLER, Athletic Association; Art League. Mueller is still a Hwhisper, a systematic whisper, at that. Ed thinks a great deal and keeps in mind the proverb about the empty barreln Although Mr. Hpmburg occasionally thinks Ed idiotic, we all know he is just jokmg, for we recogplz-e that Ed sometimes succeeds in being funny in that childlike way of 1118.. Mueller. 1s Indeed persevering. If he does not know how to work a problem 1n ttSohd, he W111 borrow it, for he will have that problem. He comes in a small package, but when he goes he leaves large thoughts and deeds behind him. STEPHEN MUELLER, Art Editor of the Oracle; Walking Club; Art League. This young man intends to startle the world as an engineer and we have no doubt that he Will do it, for he certainly is studious, drudging and ambitious. Stephen has rushed through high school in three years, With studies piled upon him as thick as flies on sugar. How his shoulders were able to bear them is a wonder! His rare laughs are contagious and extend from ear to ear. He has no peer in the printing of inflammatory notices upon the blackboard, and his figures in Solid are works of art. He is at present engaged in the preparation of a treatise on the ttPleasuI-es 0f Conscientious Study. A splendid career awaits Stephen. The more we do, the more we can do. 80 ESTHER STICHNATH, Art League; Athletic Association; Dramatic Club. Age can not change her, nor custom alter Her infinite variety. As changing as the wind that blows, Esther is a lady of stirring life, and seems to be some star in Chemistry since she has discovered that sugar is a chemical prop- erty of oxygen. And, by the way, this young lady does love green. Sometimes her dress is green, sometimes her ribbons, but never Esther! Dancing certainly agrees With her and in it she is very graceful Withal. Beneath all her merriment beats the heart of one who is sincere! BERTHA STUMP, Art League; Athletic Association; Dramatic Club. Bertha knows she has only one chance in her time To better herself if she can, tiSu make your hay while the sun doth shine? Is her motto for every man. Though her name might seem to imply it, Bertha is not curtailed in any respect. She is iino idle dreamer and takes advantage of the greatii educational opportunities offered her ta la facultyi. German presents attractions in Berthals eyes and, as a translator-well, you should hear her! As yet, we have hardly mentioned cooking. This is what Bertha loves to do. We might go on and extol, but when some of the good things she creates in the culinary department come our way we show our ap- preciation 0f the same in a more effective way than in words. 81 OSCAR NOE, Athletic Association; Art League; Dramatic Club. Noe, the tired chapj, has won fame for his manipulation of lunch cheeks. We remember the smile on this face when he heard that he was to hold a receptloii Wlth the fair sex every morning between eight and eight-thirty. Consequently he 18 very popular before school. It doesnt require a wise man to guess why Osear has such a huge appetite for lunch. But this is not the limit of his skill, for he IS. an expert oarsman. When he loses an oar he uses his arm instead, because of lte length. Seriously, Oscar is a fine fellow and not one of us but regrets parting from hlm. REUBEN E. OTT, Art League; Dramatic Club; Athletic Association. As Reuben moves his elongated frame through our halls with all its easy grace- fulness, we look on with pride. He is very prompt, and invariably in his seat engaged in study by seven-thirty. On account of his fondness for argumentation tnot along lines of Composition, howeveri he has been shackled to his seat by the mandates of the presiding teacher. Last year Reuben's tenor voice resounded through the school, but he has had little opportunity to show it this season. It seems Reuben is a little shy of the other sex and in imagination we hear him dramatically exclaiming: 'tOhl H my lovely it would be If women were transported Far beyond. the Northern Sea! GENEVA TUNISON, Representative of Art League; Glee Club. ttLady, throw back My raven hair, Lay thy white brow in the moonlight bare; I will look on the stars and look on thee And read the page of thy destiny. Thy destiny is fair, but I may not now tell it. All will be revealed with the years, and many things will come to you through the agency of your smile. For such a winning smile as yours might bring you anything. Geneva faithfully keeps a diary, and that alone is enough to win her fame. What its contents are we can only guess, while we look longingly at its covers. But its owner Will not tell; she only smilesi yet one may smile and smile and be a villain m still! ALMA VAN HISE, Art League; Athletic Association; Glee Club. t241m! looks commercing with the skies, Thy rapt soul sitting in thine eyes. Behold our Astronomeress, our star-gazer! Alma with the dimples is the pride of the astronomy class and-mirabile dictuishe never opens her book! What visions she finds in the heavens we know not ; but glorious as they must be, she comes back to earth and us each day, neither proud nor haughty because she has hitched her wagon to a star. 83 AMBROSE D. PENN, Athletic Association; Track Team. For four long years Bro has been helping Woodward win its track meets. He is a track man that can be depended upon in any relay or long-distance race. For four long years, also, frequenters of the gMansion have been greeted with his ex- pansiVe grin which has kept his pockets filled. But then a man may smile and smile, as the immortal bard has said, Hand be Villain still.n Penn does surely smile iiall over his face, and he likewise tells stories so sweetly that we are glad to listen to him. With his partner, Harry, the talking match can be continued for hours, in? then some. Woodward is proud of Bro and he has a bright future in Athletics 6 ore him. EDWARD A. PLANITZ, Art League; Athletic Association. Edward lives in Bond Hill. Great p1ace---in summereisn't it? But in winter!! Planitz rises from his downy couch when the milkman comes around and the cock begineto crow and then he walks to school. This exercise is great for the digestion and ms said that no forty-cent lunch room dish can phase him. This walk seems to take all the speech out of him, for Edward is 'quiet. Well, some day we may all hear of him as the worthy Mayor of Bond Hill, if nothing happens to Bond Hill, and the boy does not seek other fields and pastures. 84 GENEVIEVE WALKER, Art League. With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles coma This is Jean, the famous translator of William Tell, El Capitan tenens, etc. m. Now, that is a fact. In German, which is J eanis specialty, she is as well liked by the teacher as by her classmates. This is proved by the fact that the professor reserves the front seats for his favorities and Jean has a front seat! Q. E. D. She's always ready to sacrifice time and lessons to a friend in need. We'll miss you, to be sure. CLARA R. WENDEL, Art League; Athletic Association. Her pleasant disposition and euer-ready helping hand will long be remembered. A French star! And a Greekiwhat? Sudden silence; but, since silence gives consent, Clara must be a star in Greek, too. Every night she departs from Wood- ward carrying a generous school-bag crammed With books, and every morning back again she comes with that bag looking strangely the same, even though much of what it contains has gone to her head. Seldom is she seen without Amanda, nor can one mention her name without thinking of that of Amanda. Clara is charming in blue, her color; and, since it means true, we feel we can trust her; she is true! 85 JOHN F. POPPE, Art League; Dramatic Club; Oratorical Contest; Athletic Association. John is a lad 0f nobie mien and has long been the model of his class tespecially of those desiring to be policemeni. He has frequently been accused of being pretty, but he refuses to accept the blame for this and declares that his beauty is owing to the fact that he lives up where the sun shines, i. e.. in Northside. Among his bad habits is a strong addiction toward speech-making. This habit seldom has the sleep- producing effect that his name poppy would imply. J ohn has an enormous appetite and, although he makes a huge' sum each Saturday by selling shoes, he frequently is compelled to ask father for money with which to buy lunch checks. Next! CLIFFORD REYNOLDS, Art League; Dramatic Club; Oratorical Contest; Athletic Association. Yes, everybodyls doing it, cries Cliff, Who, as the sensational exponent of the Turkey T , has come near to losing his reputation among his retinue of in- fluential friends. We all admire his hair, plastered down tight and ending in a hook. Very curious! Cliff sang with the quartet for a while and those of us fortunate enough to be present will never forget his struggles in getting that high A. In the lunch room Cliff is a uWinsome waitress? but this is eclipsed by his operations on the gym floor. Alter thinking much, we have decided that Reynolds would make a good 3???? for he certainly is an orator. Whatever you will be, you have our good wishes, I . 36 MARIE WIDMAN, Dramatic Club; Art League. Mirth, with thee I mean to live, Marie is one of the few girls who are able to mix social and school life and not suffer consequences. Her wondrous Spanish translations prove this m. Marie is always just coming from an affair, or njust going to one. She was especially Irrepressible just about February 16th. Why, we wonder? But for a, that and a! that, Marie has plunged deep into the mysteries of Domestic Science and has brought therefrom much knowledge that will prove useful in many ways in days to come. MARIE WINALL, Glee Club; Art: League; Dramatic Club; Athletic Association. iiA'nd the bread that she doth bake, Is just like mother used to make. All who are fond of veal pie know what a hustler Marie is. Cheery and generous is this girl. And a cookswell, you should see her in the Domestic Science depart- ment. This is her realm. In cap and apron, this dark-eyed maiden makes a charm- ing figure. Marie is also a songstress and its great to hear her imitate the calliope. But it is in the Math that Marie truly shines. Her wonderful ability along this line enables her to prove that hard problems are truly great. But words fail us in further chanting the praises of this maiden; then, too, space forbids us, so we desist. 87 HAROLD F. RICHARDS, ANNUAL Staff; Athletic Association; Art League. This is our young friend from Dayton. Harold calls it God's country? But it seems Boston would be a more fitting place for him to hail from, fpr he is Wise and so full of erudite learning that our tall and stout friends were afrald that he might surpass them on the honor roll. Harold has a, four-hy-nine grm that is espec1ally noticeable when going to Physics exam and then it is childlike and bland. - ANNUAL meetings have not been his specialty, but we cant blame him. We close Wlth tithree cheers for Harold? WILLIAM RIEDINGER, JR., Athletic Association; Dramatic Club; Art League. ttRobert Dalton crept from behind the sheltering rocks upon the Indians, who were reveling in the blood of his comrades. With unsurpassed strength he picked up one brave and hit the other Indians over the head with him, killing, in all, sixteen. He was just in the nick of time, fore? It was Willyum hidden behind a book with a yellow cover, murmuring to himself. Bill likes to read these yellow back books. It is his avocation. His vocation is to sell magazines at half price, in partemship with Shives. Riedinger used to be a cadeteand, girls, weill leave it to you: 'ididnit Willyum look cute in his soldier suit? Willyum is a great boy, but we do wonder how he sheds the difficulties of lessons so easily. Tell us the secret! 88 M. ELOISE WISEMAN, Financial Secretary of Athletic Association; Girls7 Tennis Club; Dramatic Club; Art League. A radiant lass-and gamesome as the morning star. tTwere easier to write a book than to write about Eloise in such few Words. One can say that she is fair to look upon and of a happy disposition; athletic, friendly to both sexes, even to the lowly Freshie, and lastly a igreat lover of the theater, especially of Maud Adams, whom she has long worshipped rom afar. May our Eloise some day attain the height of her ambition, whether it lead her to be an actress, an author, a suffragette, or, in the forgotten careless words of her Freshman year, Hjust plain married. DOROTHY G. WYDMAN, Athletic Association; Art League; Dramatic Clubt She is baith guid and fair, This bonnie baim. Gay is her spirit, this Winsome miss. Dorothy loves to dance and she especially enjoyed the Washingtonts Birthday party. Wonder why? We loved to see those two little curls with which Dorothy, 0n festive occasions, appeared. When you have no more use for them, Dorothy, you may cut them off and present them to us. Hyde Park claims her as another of its celebrities and we know she will keep up the reputa- tion of that suburb. Dorothy herself says she is especially fond of babbling over the telephone. But this is a common failing, so we shall let Dorothyts tongue rest in peace while we wish her success. 89 EDGAR ROLLWAGE, Art League. The keynote of Edgar's success as a scholar is his good natiire and IselfI-confidence. Edis only weakness is a propensity for incessant whisthng which he lhfliets on us; much to our sorrowein machine shop especially, and even a few, welI-aImed wrenches fail to put a quietus upon him. The fellows keep on the good Slde of Rollwage for is he not always willing to lend a. history outline or impart some needed knowledge or information concerning Chemistry or Math? Edgar occasionally trles to be fpnny. Whether he succeeds or not, I leave it to his other oppressed classmates to dec1de. PAUL ROMAINE, Oracle Staff; Athletic Association; Art League; Dramatic Club. If you can gaze back four years and imagine a little fellow in knickers, about knee height to a hen, seated, with arms folded, in the third seat of the last row in Room 1, Third Intermediate School, you will have a picture of Paul as he looked at first. New gaze upon him and wonder how time can accomplish such changes. He iijes, growed up! The girls all think he is too cute for anything. The boys Who seem not to be so hard-hearted think him otherwise. Paul is not discriminating, for he never can tell atmospheric conditions, metaphorically speaking, and so suffers for doing what others with impunity do day after day. Paul 3 tablets are works of art, for is he not constantly embellishing them? Wish we could say more, but we re- frain. Hoping, however, that what we have said will raise Paul upwards to a higher height, we wish it to be known that Paul is a true friend always. 90 CHARLES C. ROTH, Charlie, better known as Molly, is President of the Exalted Order of Grinnei's.u and has won his G. A. degree in the art of giggling. He is also a dancer of note and considered quite a ttprizett by the young ladies of the Senior class. We used to wonder how this great, big, broad-shouldered fellow ever won the name of Molly -but, having once heard him laugh, everything was quite clear to us. We have long waited for ttMolly to show us some of the eccentricities of a genius, but in vain. We have investigated his school work and have about decided that if he is a genius he hasnit shown it yet m. All nonsense aside, Charlie is a fine fellow and Will leave a host of friends behind him. He was a smylynge childe, - Chaucer ROBERT A. SAHLFELD, President of Dramatic Club; Oratorical Contest; Walking Club; Art League; Athletic Association; Entertainment Committee; Tennis Club. Ha! Our Dramatic Club President! Some President, too. We actually caught him saying, The monthly meeting of the Dramatic Club Will be held every Monday. Did you behold Babeii tpardon ust in the Oratorieal Contest? He has patented that walk of his. He calls it the Sahlfeld Slipiematic Stride and based it on Newtonts Three Laws of Motion. Maybe you do not know what slipiematic means. Neither do I. Bob,.to close the four years of triumph, is going to write an essay on ttThe Stage As It Isnit? Bob is certainly a fine fellow and a dandy chum. Farewell! 91 VINCENT SANZONE, JR., ANNUAL Staff; Athletic Association; Dramatic Club; Art League. L0! He is here, Vincent, pride of his class. If the French teacher does not give him the HCross of the Legion of Honor When he leaves, it will be curious, for V111- cent is the prize French pupil, even outclassing his diminutive friend. Vincent has somewhat the aspect of a gentleman from abroad, but he is intensely Amencansn sentiment. At the beginning of his Junior year we thought he would become an in- surgent, but he luckily cured himself of the habit and is a standpatter up to date. Vincent is a firm dependence for his classmates when they stand in need of sundry bits of scholarly advice. CLARENCE R. SCHELL, Art League; Dramatic Club; Walking Club; Tennis Club. Here comes the boy with the camera! He is some photographer. He is hired by people to take pictures of stag parties, basket-ball teams, and interior decorations. thi is great at arguing, but fails to display his highest brilliancy in that art When the Latin professor comes along. He is very regular in his habits for he never fails to show up just in time each day to escape the tardy bell. Why is Clarence so popular on Friday mornings when a great crowd gathers around his desk? It is surely a great mystery. The sternness which often clothes the handsome features of our subject but adds to his fascinating qualities. ALFRED SCHEUERMANN, Art League; Athletic Association. Scheuermann, as his name indicates, is not Irish! No! Alis specialty rather is that of German comedian. He tells his antiquated jokes in such a solemn way that we are forced to laugh at his delivery of them. Corryville's renown in the world is promoted because in it lives A1. And he is some bowler. The pin boys in a certain bowling alley there are kept busy because Al never, never rolls less than 200 01770. Thus, you see, he is a true sportsman. Scheuermann is optimistic in every way and an optimist is everybody's friend. GEORGE SCHOETTLE, Art League; Dramatic Club; Baseball Team. Why anyone with such an Irish countenance and such a Scotch 60 name should be called Dutchy is beyond our knowledge. Gaze upon this subject and commend our wonderment. George is one of those poor, deceived Seniors who took up ad- vanced Math as a recreation and then, to his chagrin, found himself forced to lead a prisoners life all year. iiDutch has the reputation of being quite a Bonus Wagner and claims a batting average of .043 in the Sunday School League. We hope to see him out playing for Woodward before the year is over and no doubt he will help us add to our athletic glory. 93 ALBERT E. SCHRECK, Junior Treasurer; ANNUAL Staff; Football Team; Financial Secretary of the Athletic Association; Oracle Staff; Basket-Ball Team; Swimming Team; Track Team; Fencing Team; Dramatic Club. Here is the most popular boy in school!! Who has not heard of or heard him!! If all that might be said of Al were herein written, the sale of the ANNUAL would certainly decrease. Schreck, as President of the Knockersl Club, not only wields his hammer where the nails stick out, but where they dont. He sampled all the athletics this year and sometimes made a hit. This Spanish Senior with his flashing black eyes and swarthy complexion, is very delightful when in love! Surely he must be, if knocking is a sign of it. Even the faculty must occasionally come Within his reach. Al's persistence makes him a fine Athletic League ticket vender; in fact, the poor writer can testify to that himself. Beneath it all, there beats a true heart, am sure. GEO. A. SHIVES, JR., Subscription Manager of the ANNUAL; Art League; Dramatic Club; Athletic Asmaiation. George has the voice of a villain; that is, way down in the cellar. We all love to hear him translate Virgil, for does he not give the literal meanings exactly and smoothly? We wonder how one of the girls could say that George was stubborn. He is not! He is only sassy at times when pupils of Room 92 do not buy his cut- rate magazines. George is so much of a business 'Iman,U that he was made subscrip- tion manager of the ANNUAL, a very exacting position, requiring about two weeks strenuous labor. We sincerely appreciate his efforts in helping to make this book successful and though he does come from Hartwell la place which can never hope to be a. cityi, we wish him much good in the future. 9-! J . HAROLD SHREVE, Editor-in-Chief of Oracle; Art League; Dramatic Club; Fencing Team; Athletic Association. Step aside, Freebies; here comes the haughty Senior, J . Harold Shreve! But he wontt hurt you! No! The editor of the Oracle is indeed a kindly youth, though a little exacting as to the quality of the material handed in for the school paper. Harold never grows excited, which seems to he an idiosyncrasy of people living in Northside. We, as a class, appreciate your earnest and conscientious work in that honored position on a paper, the good reputation of which has been sustained under the Class of ,12 by your wisdom and wit. No doubt, a splendid career awaits you, Harold; at least indications point in that direction. DELFORD SMITH, Oracle Staff; Athletic Association; Dramatic Club; Art League. Fate tried to conceal Delford under a pretty countenance and that name tSmithL but it has hardly succeeded even though he leads the long line of Smiths at Wood- ward. Poor Delford is a very much abused individual, especially in Latin twhere the gentle art of bluffing can not be indulged int, therefore notice his sad expression of countenance. His favorite expression is My face is my own; guess thatts the reason he's always broke. A list of Smith's accomplishments would read something like this: Spanish linguist, indoor baseball champion, chewer 0f the products of one whole wax factory, and extractor of class pin moneyeenough! That is the limit of our endurance. We wish you much success. Delford, in your chosen profession. 95 H 0LT TATUM, Athletic Association; Walking Club; Tennis Club; Dramatic Club; Fencing Team; Art League. Oddis Blood! iTis Tatum. Holt has found a new process for making goId-by chemical action employing the use of his patented apple-sauee engine, lots of butter milk and a little phenol-phtaline. Truly, itis wonderful! Mr. Tatum is a gentle- man of leisure generally, but not so When his iiIchabod Crane form is traveling through a Moonlight Waltz. Fencing is this leisurely gentlemanis hobby and, When he cries Defend yourselves, gentlemen? in his stentorian toneseitis time to begin! Holt lives in Cumminsvilleeer, I mean Northside, but that does not excuse the writing of such a poem as appeared over his name in the Oracle. Never can we stand even one of them again. So long, Holt! ALLAN G. TOW, Football; Dramatic Club. Tow is one of our pyize packages: picked as end on the interscholastic football team, only entry and Winner of our beauty contest, official vendor of iifrat pins, rings and such hardware, and commander-in-ehief of the Woodward heart-breakers. The only thll'lg that bothers Allan, outside of teachers and policemen, is advanced Math and he canit be blamed for that. at troubles everybodyJ Towis seIf-reliance is one of his greatest assets and no doubt his coolness under fire won for him the laurels of the gridiron. We certainly hate to part with him. He was a cupid. fair, a comely child. 96 CLIFFORD J. VISCONTI, Recording Secretary of the Athletic Associatinn; Art League; Dramatic Club; Track Team. We wonder how such a little fellow can be so dignified! He is indeed one of our souvenir specimens of a Senior, but when Clifford is on the running track this dis- appears and therefore many are the medals he has won for old Woodward. And, as for that cup he won! Cliff is having pictures taken of it and passing them among his friends, especially those of the fair sex. Visconti will take up the study of medi- cine after he leaves school, but it seems to us that he knows more about it now than any college can teach him. We predict that Clifford will make his mark in the world. MARION I. VORHEES, Athletic Association; Art League. H Vorhees is a jolly good fellow of the genus I donit care, always ready to play a joke. As a blacksmith iMaryli excels, for does it not run in the family? Praise some of his work and he will swell with pride and exclaim ivociferously, I made it; in the machine shop. The only thing against Vorhees is that he IS a specimen from Blue Ash twherever that isl. However, a lot of bright people come from that vicinity and the brighter they are the faster they come. A11 Woodward will be sad when this knight errant goes forth in search of adventurea-and a job on the farm. 97 EDWIN H. WARD, Athletic Association; Football Team; Manager of Basket-Ball Team; Manager of Baseball Team. The very name Tubby brings with it thoughts of e. que-sweatered, begrimed young steam-roller, yelling Bust it up Pea byown-smted 1nd1v1dua! demamhng tickets at the gym doorior a nervous wretch trylng to get through 91. hlstory recata- tion by the gentle art of bluffing. Tubbyts self-eontrol and unfaghng good natut-e have made him, without doubt, one of the most pepular fellows In school, and h1s conscientious work in Athletics has done much to brmg glory to old Woodward. t'And faith he had a. way with him That never came amiss, No man that wouldntt follow him No girl he couldntt kiss. GORDON WEIL, Manager of Track Team; Art League; Athletic Association; Baseball Team. We certainly admire Gordon for being brave enough to take Solid Geometry, but why, oh, why, does he disturb us so often in the study room when he is wrestIin with planes and angles and what not? The boys prefer seeing him on the diamong in the position of short-stop. Then, With two strikes and the bases full, Weil begins to get busy and, as a resultewell, you know! Gordonts curly hair and blue eyes ought to attract the fair sex, but he seems sparing of his glances in that direction, for the present, at any rate. 98 JOSEPH WILSON, Art League. T0 gaze upon this mild looking youth, no one would think him one of the terrors of Dr. Gore's German classes-yet such is the reputation he leaves behind him. The only plausible reason we can give for such conduct is, that the culprit has Irish blood in his veins, begorra! J De can't be convinced that itls quality and not quantity, that counts, and hels bent upon raising his five feet m of manhood to six or more. He would, no doubt, even risk a llveal pie and beans diet if he thought it would add to his stature. J oking aside, Wilson is a fine fellow and not one of us but regrets part- ing from him. ROBERT E. WRIGHT, Athletic Association; Art League. Wright is very persisting; we would liken his experiences to those of the cat that came back, so that Robertls experiences in A beginning German class would fill a volume: apply for them to any fellow-student in that class. We fully forgive you, Robert, at parting for the bursts of humor CD you have often inflicted upon us. Speaking of appetites, Robert's lies in the direction of ice cream; his menu at lunch consisting of that frozen dainty in all shapes and sizes. Notwithstanding this strenu- ous feeding he has waxed fat and sassy. Whenever youlre feeling down and out go to Robert and your case is hopeless if he cant cheer you. 99 WEBSTER M. WRIGHT, Art League; Athletic Association; Dramatic Club; Swimming Team; Fencing Team; Basket-Ball Team. My Dear Readersel take this means of telling the many people who have been following my daily illustrations of beauty culture, that under no circumstances will I divulge the secret of my own beauty. Knowing how this will grieve the class, I will try to solace them in their disappointment with a few things about myself. In the iirst place, I am well versed in American History. I want this to be understood because quite a few students differ with me on this point. I often give most extra- ordinary explanations in English, a fact very well known. An abridged list of my qualifications includes the following: Twentieth Century Apollo, exponent of the art of bluff, swimmer, German linguist, dramatist. Feeling sure you will appreciate my very great worth and value, I am, Yours truly, Q. E. Di RALPH F. WUENKER, Art League. - We shall .always remember Ralph by his exceptional constellation of star recita- tions in Physms when he was but a wild and irresponsible Junior. He never fails to take home a huge stack of books but whether he studies or not, there lies the questlohfj If, at about eight twenty-nine, you should see a tall form exceeding the speed 11m1t 0n the stars, you can be quite sure that it is Wuenker trying to reach the room before the tardy bell ringseand he gets there, too. Ralph's dream is to be a mechanical englneer and eur hope is that he will devise some automatic contrivance for studying 0n 'the mornlng after. We shall meet you, friend, at U. C. and our best wishes will attend you in person. 100 'EUHEEUUY? HARRY ZELLER, Art League; Athletic Association. There is no denying that Harry is a cute little fellow. He has that winning way that leads men sometimes to the presidential chair and sometimes to the back seat. Books and nails are his favorite diet, especially books. He loves to care for the books in Woodward library after school tat a dollar per weeki. Besides his winning way, he has a large supply of industry and patience. He loves to linger in Lab. a few hours after school to finish his experiments. Ask him about a certain race of people if you want to have some fun! We feel sure that Harry Will occupy a high place in the world, probably as an assistant in a second-hand bookstore! If these offend, and we hope they will not, y Attribute them to Nobody,H h: But if you like what your friends have thought, Give the credit to HSomebody. a H0 BUD7 101 LC??? 85 in l 55:1 i E e V 045 L vu cf: ya. u?

There we poor Freshmen were not disturbed by the j eers of the upper classmen, because they were out of our way at the Ninth Street Colony. Some of us dissected bugs, others howers, while the rest sawedrwood to fill in the time left vacant by Latin, German and Algebra. A neighboring bakery furnished the pieh for the nourishing of our overworked intel- lects. During the year it was discovered that many members of our class, Who are now more or less famous, had qualities that might make them distinguished along athletic and social lines. With thinned ranks we entered our Sophomore year. We were no longer of the substratum 0f the high-school world, and we swelled with pride as we entered the beautiful new building and gazed sympathetically at the meek little Freshmen of the Class of 1914. But upride goeth before a fall, for no sooner had we been confronted by Geometry than we realized that we had come into contact with a hard proposition. During the progress of the year we found that the ttdetention room did interfere considerably with our social activi- ties. With such woes we led studious though unevent- ful lives the rest of our Sophomore year. In this, our third term, we began to feel that the school could hardly do without our dignified, presence. The Senior year, which heretofore had appeared to us as a distant speck on the horizon, now became distinct and tangible. The pace, however, had proven too fast for some, whom centrifugal force cast off, leaving those who remained to strive with might and main to gain a good hold as the last lap was being run. Our most formidable enemy was Physics e that uexact and beau- tiful scienceW Were not the recitations of that sub- ject most strenuous and most pleasing? The class was organized soon after the February examinations, and the following ofhcers were elected: William Croake, President; Elsie Weber, Vice-PresiH dent; Frances Ross, Secretary; R. Schaefer, Treasurer. A committee was then appointed to prepare for the dance given annually by the Juniors to the Seniors. Our best efforts were exerted to make this function a success, and we were not disappointed, for all were pleased With the affair. Early in the spring, J . Holzberg was elected editor of the Omcle and A. Lindsley business manager. Under the leadership of these two able members we hope next year to make our paper better even than that of this year, though a high standard has been set. The members of the Class of 1913 have striven to make the class rank with the best that has ever gradu- ated from Woodward. We have had our exits and our entrances; we have portrayed the role of the raw Freshman, the studious Sophomore, the athletic Junior and have yet to act the dignified and well-learned Senior, full of the importance and weight of his posi- tion. Having by that time laid aside our childish in- clinations, may we be worthy to bear into the world the motto of our beloved Woodward, Esse quam viderif a JULIUS HOLZBERG. 105 Next in order, our duty implores That we consider the Sophomores. Do we say haughty? Surely, for they Look backward With scorn on the by-gone day, When as green as the greenest Freshman they were And as low, oh, as low as the lowliest cur. But now things look brighter to them, dontt you see? For next year they hope that J uniors theytll be. 106 Last and least, the Freshmen also, But at this time of year all of us know, The green in spots is wearing off some And the candy store man has quit selling gum. The halls are not smooth as they used to be, And no one now loses his locker key. For they are now feeling as if theyTe alive, And after all for high places they must strive. 107 The School p? ..

Biddle, Poefs-Corner 113 THE ORAC LE .3 NDER the editorship of J . Harold Shreve, our ? Oracle has been a paper of which we are justly y 9 proud. The editofs earnest efforts have been g to make the paper a credit to the school, and J his enthusiasm has been an incentive to the staff to make his efforts successful. The ear- nest work on the part of both editor and staff has been promotive of a year of success and has materialized in nine creditable issues of the paper. Would you visit the editorial sanctum? Go With me to the fourth floor of Woodward, Where there is a room set aside exclusively for Oracle purposes. Promise to show a serious regard for all that is to be seen and per- haps you will understand what it means to be the ilstaff , of a paper like our Oracle. Glance through a copy. The School Notes keep us posted upon our own school aifairs, while the Alumnal Notes bring us information about those who have left the protecting arms of their Alma Mater. We are ac- quainted With the work our boys are doing through the Athletic and Manual Training columns. The Oddities and Novelties tell us of quaint and curious customs, While the Current Events offer the essence of the worldls happenings. Then there is the Poet's Corner, Which for the past year has borne evidence that quite a few of our classmates are in league with the Muse. Some 7-: of the poetry has shown more than mere passing gleams of the divine fire. Another attractive feature of the paper is its artistic cover designs, not omitting mention of the characteristic cartoons. If you think we lack a sense of humor, j ust examine our locals, the jokes from the exchanges, the caricatures and the resounding knocks delivered by the Knockersi Club every once in a while. Indeed it is not surprising that we students await the paper with eagerness and hail its arrival With wel- come, for does it not contain the news and reflect the Wit and talent of our fellow-students? Have you noticed the ads? We sincerely hope so, and we also hope that those who by their ads in our paper have helped us clear expenses, have been patronized. We wish to show our appreciation in this expression of our thanks to all who have assisted us: to the teach- ers, especially Mr. Sayre, who so willingly and so un- tiringly advised and encouraged the staff, and to Mr. J ones, who aided in manipulating the monetary aifairs, and lastly to the subscribers, who not only helped us clear expenses, but showed the right school spirit by subscribing for the Oracle. May our successors in this field of work meet With such encouragement as has been given to us! -ALMA G.

As is well known, its purpose is to beautify the school and the grounds, and at the same time to cultivate good taste and the love of the beautiful and artistic in the pupils. In each room there is a representative of the League who collects five cents a month as dues from each member. At the meetings of these representa- tives reports are made as to the progress of the League and the expenditure of the money. Since its reorganization in December, 1910, the Art League has expended in all about five hundred and twenty dollars. On Inspection Day, January 21, 1911, it celebrated With a gift of palms, emblematic of the SUCCeSS With which it hopes its eiforts will be crowned. Later, Urania, Minerva and Mercury, three large statues, were placed in the west end of the building. On Founder's Day,March 8,1912,tw0 pictures, onettThe Sacrifice of Vanities, the other an oil painting of Cinderella; the motto of the school, painted in blue and gold, in the west hall, and lastly, two beautiful stained glass Windows at either side of the great Me- morial Window were presented. The work done by the Art League is acting as an incentive to former graduates of the school to do what they can in the way of decorating the interior of the building. Through this infiuence the Class of 1886 donated as their gift a pair of beautiful ferneries which they placed at the west end of the school, near the Me- morial Window. Their gift cost them one hundred dollars, but they considered that expense small When compared with their debt of loyalty to the school. 127 128 130 THLETIG' $HCIATIBN .IlEnAN'uz HOWARD DOYLE .........................................

Faculty Remesentative Paul Romaine Robert Sahlfeld Clarence Schell Holt Tatum J F l Athletic Review HE season of 1911-1912 has been a glorious , and victorious one in the athletic annals 01 Woodward. The football, track and basket- ball teams have been of the highest order and baseball season brings with it the promise of another interscholastic championship. Not only has great interest been shown in the major sports, but swimming, indoor baseball and fencing have been well represented. On September 14, candidates for the football team assembled in the gym, Captain Foscula assumed charge, and soon hard practice was begun. Our team started off with a rush, playing Steele at Dayton, Ohio, and defeating them by a score of 11 t0 0. On October 14 we journeyed to Erlanger, and, although the field was very heavy, managed to score 37 points before the final whistle blew. Albert, Ward and Foscula all did splen- did work. We met Covington on October 27 with a sub- stitute team and came off with a 6 t0 6 tie. The Walnut Hills game November 11 was one of the hardest fought battles of the season, but after an uphill struggle Woodward won, 9 t0 6. Tow and Krueck stood out brilliantly in the defense, while Foscuia,s line plunging featured in the attack. Shortly after this. game Fos- cula resigned and Albert was chosen captain for the remainder of the season. 1 We met Norwood 011 a very muddy field and real football was impossible. The game ended in a 0 to 0 score. The Lawrenceburg game was another score- less tie, played in a sea of mud. Owing to injuries received by our players in this game, we were forced to meet Hughes with a badly shaken up team. Out- weighed, but certainly not outgamed, Woodward put up a plucky battle and showed the gfighting spiritii by holding the big red team to a tie. Albert, Tow and McRoberts were the main instruments in breaking up the offensive play of Hughes, while Ward, with his splendid punting, kept our goal out of danger. The season ended with this game. The total score stands: Woodward, 63, opponents 12. Those who re- ceived the ewe are: Albert, Ward, Tow, Krueck, Schreck, Fisher, Brotherton, Rogers, Bruckman, Me- Roherts, Ahrens and Wadsworth. With the close of the football season, basket-ball became the ruling sport. Captain Faran was physic- ally unable to play and resigned. Albert was chosen leader. Through the energetic work of Manager Ward a stiff schedule was mapped out. The team soon rounded into shape and did excellent work-throughout the season. Albert showed himself the superior of every opposing center; Albers and Doyle were an un- beaten pair of forwards; Krueck, Howard and Kinyon 2 were all strong at guard, and Wright, Schreck and Schaefer player whenever called upon. Not only the individual efforts, but the team work as a whole showed this team to be one of the best that ever represented Woodward. The scores were as follows: Newport 11, Woodward 44; at Woodward. Gym Rovers 17, Woodward 49; at Woodward. Ohio Veterinary 6, Woodward 54; at Woodward. U. C. 12, Woodward 38; at Varsity. Stivers'33, Woodward 17; at Dayton, Ohio. Bellevue 8, Woodward 71; at Woodward. Norwood 8, Woodward 54; at Woodward. Crescents 23, Woodward 23; at Y. M. C. A. Hamilton 15, Woodward 25; at Woodward. Middletown 20, Woodward 43; at Middletown. Westwood 9, Woodward 39; at Westwood. Steele 4, Woodward 50; at Woodward. By defeating Hamilton, Middletown and all of the local teams, we have first claim to the Southern Ohio Interscholastic Championship. The second annual Acquatic Meet was held in our tank January 24. The A Grade won the interclass championship and Wright, captain of the swimming team, carried off the individual honors. In February a meet was held in the school gym- nasium as a sort of preliminary tryout for the mid- winter carnival. Fast time was made in all the dashes. Simms and Krueck were the greatest individual point makers. At the First Regiment Meet, Woodward carried off everything in the interscholastic events. Martin won the fiftyeyard and quarterrmile dashes and the relay team brought home another cup to be added to our large collection. Two indoor baseball leagues, composed of teams representing the different rooms, were formed and a schedule of games was played. The leading team of each league met and a series of games were played to determine the school championship. Trials for the all-round Wt, were started early in March. and a goodly number of Senior students entered. All the events on the athletic calendar are arranged so that it is possible to score from 7 to 10 points in each. A contestant must score 100 points before he receives his letter. The girls and boys tennis teams are awaiting the advent of spring to begin operations, and there is no doubt that much interest will be shown in this branch of Sport. The fencing team has done all of its work in private, but we hope that a public exhibition will soon be given. With the departure of the Class of 1912, Woodward will lose some of her best athletes. Joe Albert has done consistent work in every branch of sport and has had the exceptional honor of being captain of our football, basket-ball and baseball teams. Doyle has won fame both as a pitcher and a basket-ball player and served as manager of the football team. Foscula will long be remembered by his great work in football. Ward not only played a splendid game atfootball, but through his diligent work as manager of the basket-ball and baseball teams has perhaps done more than any in- dividual to raise the athletic standard of our school. Martin has won a fine reputation on the track and holds several interscholastic records. This year has certainy been an excellent one in all respects and the teams of 1911-1912 have done their share in bringing glory to old Woodward. - R. L. WADSWORTH. 153 Oratorical Contest Woodwara.

OOKING down the long avenues of history one can perceive that democratic spirit which has been Vital at intervals since the days of Homer. The organization of people for self-expression dates back to primitive times. In the little democracies of Greece public discussions and debates Were familiar. As said by St. Paul, 'tFor all the Athenians, and strangers which were there, spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing. The value of such proceedings may be seen in the fact that there is no need for attorneys because every free man was capable of being his own attorney. Any Athenian was also capable of holding public office, and the ohices were filled by lot and not by election. The average ability of the Athenian race taccording to Galtonl was, on the lowest possible estimate, nearly two grades higher than our own; that is, about as much as our race is above that of the Afri- can negro. This estimate, which may seem prodigious to some, is confirmed by the quick intelligence and high culture of the Athenian commonalty, before whom literary works were recited and works of art exhibited of a far more severe character than could possibly be appreciated by the average of our race, the caliber of whose intellect is easily gauged by a glance at the con- tents of a railway bookstall. This may be attributed in a large measure to the freedom with which the Greeks assembled and dis- cussed all phases of their national life. The spirit of freedom thus awakened was destined to eclipse during the long night of the Dark Ages. But the striving of our race for freedom of speech, of thought, and of action, finds perhaps its earliest re- vival in what is known as the Landesgemeinde of Switzerland. From the thirteenth century the male citizens of several Swiss cantons have assembled from their mountain homes for the conduct of their public affairs by the living voice in open air. The German mark and Swiss commune also furnish good examples of freedom of public discussion and public action. Passing rapidly down to our own age and our own country, we find evidence of the same democratic spirit in our New England colonies. There, the hardy set- tlers would assemble in the shade of a grove and dis- cuss affairs pertaining to their common welfare and pass such laws as seemed necessary for the common good. This pure democracy, however, was made im- possible by the growth of the country and a repre- sentative form of government became a necessity. But While the method of lawmaking was changed, the interchange of thought was at no time interrupted. 155 For, throughout the length and the breadth of the land, the little red schoolhouse took the place of the leafy grove. Here met the debating societyethat school of expression in which our embryo statesmen were developed, in which our budding orators received their early training. Here the raw, awkward, country boy learned to stand and express his thoughts in forcible English; here the clash of mind upon mind evolved the power of debate which found later expression in the halls of Congress, and thus exemplified the proverb, Iron sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the- coun- tenance of his friend. From such social centers came our Lincolns, our Websters and our Clays. Here met the neighborhood literary society, where the men and women, young and 01d, met to study some literary masterpiece, to recite quotations from their favorite authors, to listen to essays on topics of general interest, or to hear an address by a speaker brought for the occasion. Here was held the spelling school which brought people from far and near. Thus the school- house became the true social center of every neighbor- hood. Appreciation of its high mission led Whittier to say: ttA schoolhouse plant on every hill, Stretching in radiate nerve lines thence The quick wires of intelligence? Let it be noted in this connection that this wider use of the school plant was almost exclusively coniined to rural districts, and that our city schools have long been monuments of neglected opportunity. To this more than to any other cause is due the undisputed fact that the great majority of our statesmen, our educators, our men of note in general, have been coun- try born and country bred. There has been a growing tendency in favor of the use of public schoolhouses in our cities for social centers and the like. Leading educators are giving public ex- pression t0 the belief that the school plant should be used for other than school purposes. This feeling was forcibly expressed by Superintendent Maxwell, of New York City, in his annual report for 1904: ttThe central facts to be considered in any discussion of this subject are that the Board of Education is trustee of real prop- erty-e school sites and buildings -to the amount of sixty millionstof dollars, all Of Which belongs to the people, and that this vast property is in use only about one-third of the waking hours.n Also, as President Emeritus Eliot has pointed out: There can be no waste of money in public school administration com- parable to the waste involved in permitting millions of dollars worth of property to remain unutilized ex- cept during the hours When school is kept. Ex-GOV- ernor Hughes, of New York, in addressing The League of Civic Clubs? of Rochester, New York, said: HI am more interested in what you are doing and what it stands for than in anything else in the world. You are buttressing the foundations of democracy? Only upon the basis of personal understanding is efficient and coherent social action possible. This is the foundation of democracy. Communities must have, therefore, some means by which the many members and various classes may come to know each other a some- thing that may go beneath and touch fundamental human interests; and the machinery most natural, as well as most available, is the public school system. The school building is, in a broad and important sense, the true center of a communityathe peopleis t'Forum. The social center of today is a developing place for neighborhood spirit and a training school for citizen- 156 ship. It represents all the people in those interests common to all. As all roads used to lead to Rome, so today nearly all lines of thinking on public questions lead to the public school. But the social center must be absolutely democratic. It must be a place where it may be possible for the citizens of a community to assemble to discuss ques- tions, to have a good time, and to be sociable. It must be upon the basis of true democracy which batters down the walls that separate us from each othere a place where all may meet on common ground, with no recognition of race, color, creed or party. It must be upon the broad ground of a common brotherhood. Lack of accommodations is a handicap in many com- munities; but Cincinnati is unusually well equipped to take up social center work. The schoolhouses are equipped with the very things needed for such centers. In all the new buildings there are auditoriums where lectures may be given and stereopticon Views shown; gymnasia where classes in physical culture may be held and where dances of the proper sort might be given. The social center, as in the case with all new move- ments, has aroused opposition, but it is believed that the wisdom of the movement will become apparent to all and that the opposition will eventually disappear. This movement for the greater use of school prop- erty is yet in its infancy. It is, however, firmly fixed in the public mind and it is not diiiicult to forecast the future. If the social center movement is successful throughout the country, it will mark a new era in municipal progress. As a result of it, the knowledge of the masses in science, politics and literature Will in- crease. The social center will become the foundation of American democracy, the place where everybody may meet on an equal footing, disregarding political, re- ligious and other differences; where one may voice his opinions publicly and meet all with the spirit of brotherp hood. e EDWIN MONCE. 157 This is to Show How Beautifully We Can Write 2221621244,:122 1M 2122222 W.jm?r W e 11:92.

I mused, and musing, I soon fell into a light sleep. Then came a most delightful dream. I was the professor, and there before me, in desks too small for them, sat my teachers, Who anxiously waited for the examination queer tions. I gloated over their anxiety, and was glad that I had made the questions hard. You may be interested in knowing what they were compelled to answer.
