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

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.

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
