W'e feel a tightening of the heart at parting from old VVoodwai'd and our class- mates. A mist we are prone to conceal veils our eyes as we shake the hands of our fellows and turn toward the new sun rising upon our lives. With mingled feelings, half regret, half hope, most of us prepare for enrollment in that stern school, the World, the term of which is for life, while the others will make further preparation for it in higher halls of learning. Here, at the Close of our high school life, it is as if we were the most important company in the world. To us it is no frivolous assumption that we are the company of companies; have we not matched together from childhood to youth. and from youth to the edge of manhood and womanhood; have we not been mothered by the one School, our Woodward? Is not that fact in itself enough to warrant our assumption and seal our comradeship? When we entered VVOOtlwai-d we were carefree, irresponsible boys and girls. Now we find ourselves facing Our responsibilities, for we have almost reached manhood and womanhood. 0111- mantle of citizenship being ready for our shoulders. Some of us may eventually Hy the banners 0f the great and wear the splendid plumes of the mighty. Others Of us Will march in the armies of the unknown. soldiers of life, with never a Chevron to mark 115 from our fellows, much less a shoulder strap or glittering epaulette. But whether we climb to the heights or pursue Our way through the valleys, we shall be brothers, sealed in nineteen thirteen, tender in our love to one another, rich in helpfulness. ever making allowances for mistakes. Yes, we shall all go our various waysl hopeful of achieving the goals of which we have dreamed, for we are tilled with the confidence of youth. It should be the happiest of times. for when a wise Providence fashioned humanity, it decreed that sorrow must enter largely into all plans for it; and pitying that which it made, it gave the estate of youth with the priceless dowry of clean hearts. ambition, icleals and dreams. Yet fondest dreams may be shattered 0111' ideals may be lost sight Of. as we march through the world and come in contact with deceit and frailties of human kind; failure and adversity may batter our hearts until ambition is beaten out of them. but as the boys and girls of lYomlward, 1913. let us keep the hearts that God gave us with 0111' youth, forever Clean and without stain. Some day in the future we shall Suddenly realize that the fire of youth is gone and that we are 0ch At that hour our thoughts Shall dwell on the legacy from God, wasted or preserved, as may be. If all has been lost save cleanliness of heart, then we can look into the glass of time unflinchingly, with brave and steady eyes. But if dishonor has been with us, then shall we shrink from the eyes that stare back at us, and furtively admit the weakness of the soul whose windows they are But that is for time to prove. To-day, we have gathered up our knapsacks, hlletl with precious knowla edge, we have our clean hearts, ambition, ideals and dreams, and hope beckoning us on. yet we linger a moment with the dear Alma Mater. N ever again shall we take our places at our desks, never shall we F116 with noisy acclaim into the yard of old Woodward. Here- after we shall be visitors only at this seat of learning, to be gazed at curiously by those who have succeeded us, just as we have gazed curiously at those who sat here before us. So let us take a tender farewell 0f the school that meant so much to us and means more to us now. Let us never, never forget. THE PROGRESS OF EDUCATION HERE is; no prospect more unfavorable to the human race, than the prospect of retrogression. Man will not have his present civilization de- teriorate, Coupled with this endeavor to sustain our culture of to-day, is the higher and nobler determina- tion to advance. Without this burning ambition for progress, without a deep desire for a higher moral, intellectual and industrial civilization, man is little or no better than a beast. Because of the blending of the fear of retrogression and the strife for progress, the human being stands as the emblem of mortal perfection of to-day. AS a natural consequence of this unique combination of two striking characteristics, mankind has taken special care in the education of its young. If we are to remain at our present status of civilization, those of the rising generation must know at least as much as their fathers, and if mankind is to advance the children must be trained with greater care than their parents. At various times in the existence of the human race there have been different ideas as to who should be educated, as to who are to be the banner bearers of civilization. Formerly the upper classes were revered by all and were regarded by all as those upon whom the future of mankind depended. So we find that in olden times, and, in fact, up to a short time ago, only the children of wealthy and opulent parents were educated. But gradually there has come to mankind a new spirit, the spirit of democracy. Wre have come to realize that the great strides in civilization are due, not to the efforts of the blueebloods and opulent, but that our civilization advances because the masses pro- gress. We have found that as long as the masses are mentally unable to follow their leaders, civilization does not move forward. Socrates preached about high forms of the Deity, but his contemporaries, being of an inferior education, could not grasp the idea. The prophets of ancient Israel advocated a state of society which even we to-tlay hold as ideali But the people Of those times were poorly educated and unable to realize the truth of the prophetic or Socratic doctrines, and what was the result? Civilization was held back and years were wasted before the common people reached that mental state where they realized the truth of the preachings of past reformers. We are now seeing how civilization has been retarded because the people have not been properly educated, and we have decided that the masses must be enlightened. But the question now remaining is, HWhat sort of education shall it be that young people should receive in the public schools of our country in Order to best ht them for the functions of a human being? It was formerly thought that to be a factor in civilization one need have only a knowledge of the classics. Great men of the past have always written the classics of the present, and that the young people might-understand the words of present great men, it was deemed necessary that they be given a strictly academic training. But there was evidently something wrong with this system, for public education along these lines never prospered. The high school, which is the institution which really grounds out careers, had a place of little or no importance in the community. Nine of ten of the successful men of a city could boast of never having attended a high school. The boys who did graduate from this sort of a school had no better Opportunity than the fellow who knew Simply how to read and write. Education is to make individuals greater factors in the advancement of civilization. Hence, such an education as was given in our old-time high schools was a complete failure in a way. Of course, it led to a higher intellectual development, but the fact remains that because it did not lead to a higher industrial development. any good which the higher intellectual standard could have produced was pre- vented. But lately there has come over us the idea of the practical in education. Our schools are trying to help 10 in the attainment of a higher culture by putting men and women into the commercial world, all ready for their lifeis occupation. And to fit the pupils for their various professions we have instituted co-operative courses in which the pupils spend part Of the school year in direct employment in the trade they wish to learn and the rest of the school year on the learning of the principles of their trades under the guidance of carefully selected teachers. There are some so-calletl tiCommercial Courses'i that fit a boy 01- girl for a business life. The manual training department has regular wood-tnrning and machine shops. In these departments the boys apply themselves directly to work in anticipation of a career of a mechanic. But as 'a consequence of this vocational work in the school, the high school has risen from a position of insignihcance to the height of importance. Our busi- ness men of the present day no longer sneer at the high school training, but accept the high school grad- uates into high and trustworthy positions. Statistics prove that the boy 01' girl who has Spent four years under our present practical high school training has a far better chance for a good position than young people who have not received such an education. Our high schools are carrying out the idea of education, inasmuch as they are preparing our young people for a higher industrial civilization. But the one great fault of. the present day high school is that it has, in its rush toward practicaiisin, lost sight of the fact that an academic education is needed, Our industrial branches in high school have been inoculated at the expense of academic studies. The boys and girls who take the industrial courses do not receive the right amount of training in the fine arts. Bookkeeping is preferred to History and Applied Art is defeating Geometry in popularity. They are sending out into the world human machines and not the finest type of man or woman. Civilization is a blend of the intellectual, moral and practical. The fault of our old schools was that they paid all attentiOn to the intellectual and none to the practical. The growing fault of Our present high schools is that they are paying more and more attention to the practical and less and less to the intellectual. A human being. to be a real factor in civilization must he a combina- tion of that which is intellectual, moral and practical, and just as our old time high schools failed, because of their ultra-inteiiectualism, 50 our present schools are destined to failure if they carry this practical trend to an extreme. The educators who are controlling the courses at H-ioodward seem to have realized the true aim of edueav lion, and ate graduating individuals who can render their best services toward the advancement of. mankind. er have. in our schools, a delightful blending of the academic and the industriat There is, perhaps, too great a trace of the industrial, but that is overcome by the 01d academic standards of Woodward. The boys and girls who stepped from XVOOthi'atd into the world have the verezltile training which the real twentieth century man or woman needs. The graduates of Woodward are not human machines, nor are they bookwoirms. Wyooidward has made a name for itself in the community, a name which is indeed enviable. But there is a deep shadow resting over this school, as over all other large high schools, the dark shadow of ultrw practicaiismi Let us take the warning which we have received from the sad fate of our 0ch high schools, with their extremes in academic training, and let us keep XVoodward as an emblem of true education forever. 11 F ACULTY w MISh STRATE MISS RASCHH?

F001?! 14 THE WOODWARD MUSEUM AND GRADUATES ROOM UR school has many things to be proud of, and among them is the VVOOtlward Museum and Graduates, Room. The Union Board of High Schools made it possible for us to have this room by setting aside for that purpose, HRoom 43. before our new school was even Finished. Mr. Seth C, Foster inherited the Woodward home from his haIf-sister, Mrs. Abigail Cutter Foster Lewis, Mrs. Wroodward's niece and namesake. Most willingly did he promise to give such portions of the house. when it was torn dowri, as the committee might wish to place in the new school. This gift was' agreed to by the gentleman who later bought the property, Dr. George C. K011i. Those upon whom fell the duty of making the selection of what it was best to take for the graduates7 alcove and the room, were the architect of new Woodward, Mr. Gustave XV Drach, our principal, Mr. P. A. Johnston, and Miss Eleanor C. O'Connell, chairman of the Committee on the Museum. It is interesting to note that these three were formerly pupils of Wood- ward. The approach to the room is through the graduates' alcove. Which contains pictures of the former principals and other persons connected with Woodward. The leading one is an oil painting of William Woodward, the founder of our school. There are also pictures of 15 the buildings which preceded the present magnihcent high schooli The door to the alcove was taken from Mr. Woodwardis residence, which was built in 1816, at the northeast corner of Main and Webster Streets. This old-fashioned door. with its beautiful pests and lintel, all hand carved, is painted white. as it was in Mr. Woodwardis day. The columns at each side of the door. with the exquisite transom above it. are also from the home of our founder. In the door and its surroundings. we have preserved one of the finest examples of colonial style of architecture in the city tO-day. In the museum, relics of importance have been collected. some from the 01d homestead 311:1 others from the former school buildings, together with various articles. kindly given by friends and relatives of Mr. and Mrs. XVoodward and also by graduates. The largest and most attractive at the relics is a colonial hand-carved white mantel. Beneath the mantel is a fireplace made from bricks taken from the walls of Mr. VVoodwai'dE home. The arch over the hreplace is composed of bricks front the 1831 and 1855 school buildings, and two from the present building with others from the home. On the hearth are andirons made by 2L third year W oodward boy. Above the fireplace hangs the picture of the little farmhouse in far-off Plainfield, Connecticut, where Mr. Woodward was born on March 8, 1768. Another object of interest is a window from the guest room. It has a pretty scene behind it to represent an orchard and meadow with swaying Bowers, giving a View similar to the one Mrs. Woodwarde guests were accustomed to see whenever they looked to the south The white Swiss curtains were made by VVOodward third year Industrial girls. They are in the style of those used in the time when Mrs. Woodward was living. Separating the fireplace and the window from the rest of the room is a railing made from part of the balustrade of the W ehstcr Street home. Within the balustrade are three chairs from the Woodward home, one from the kitchen, another from the diningeroom. and the third, at parlor chair. The former two are certainly durable, for they were made in 1803, from wood Cut from the original forest 011 Third Street Two antique cupboards, each in different style from the other, are placed against the wall in separate parts of the roam. That much of the stairway leading to the Hrst landing is at the southwest side of the museum. A showcase holds small relics, such as books, a hand-painted vase with the 1841 building on it, the trowel used in the laying of cornerstones of both 16 Hughes and Woodward, and also the cornerstone of the Woodward monument. The handle of the trowel is made from part of a balustrade of the Woodward which preceded our building. The gavel is also part of this piece of wood. In the case there is an immense hand-made lock from a door of Mr. Woodwardss house, besides two pocketbooks and two coats and a waistcoat belonging to our foundefs brother, Lemuel. Looking around from the mysteries of the glass case one sees the herce-Iooking gargoyles; these were on the school of. 1855, but became so dangerous, by their tendency to fall off, that they were not left 10mg in place. These Objects of interest were the first exterior tetra cotta decorations used in Cincinnati. One might think that these two gargoyles were guarding the precious bookcase that stands nearby, for in it are many thoughts of Woodward teachers and pupils, along both literary and musical lines. Although it is not yet tilled with books and pamphlets there is here a collection worthy of the schoo1. In it are still to be placed books written by W oodward teachers and pupils since the opening of the school in 1831. Art, poetry, essays, music and the sciences are there now; may the class of 1913 keep up the good work begun in these lines, and may 'Woodward some day be as proud of us as we are of her. l7 ill1llllv ' i L, I WEEK 18 IN AND OUT WITH A PRESIDENT T was during the memorable year 090$ when William Howard Taft. a Woodward boy of 74, became pilot of the nation, that we, this unsur- passed class of ,13, entered the portals Of Woodward High School. Being at the colony we escaped the taunts and jokes of those tthigher upf' who claimed Ninth Street as their home. The hrst year passed quietlyea visit to Mr. Johnstonk Office and the ttexamsit wakeuing things up a little now and then. Alas, algebra and Latin did their work, for many a familiar face seen during our Freshman year was missed on our entrance as Sophomores into the new Woodward. During the progress of the year it was unanimously agreed that geometry was not a subject for a mortal, and many were the groans and laments sent heavenward at the marks received October 24th, the dedication exer- cises over which President Taft presided as speaker, were held, and the entire school was open to visitors. The orchestra and Art League were soon reorganized and the beautiful window at the Sycamore Street entrance was given to the school. Later on, a tablet was given us commemorating the dedication of W oodward. and soon after, the Levi Coffin Memorial was placed in our north corridor. Before we realized it our second year was completed and recorded in the annals of Woodward. Again we assembled in the halls of Woodward, this time as mighty Juniors, and many of us were soon lost 19 in that most exact and beautiqu science, physics. The class organization took place shortly after the February examinations, and the following thcers were elected: William Croake, president; Elsie Weber, vice- president; Frances Ross, secretary, and Ralph Shafer, treasurer. The ttB-At, dance was the immediate out- come of this organization. In the early part Of May the ORACLE election took place, and Julius Helzberg was Chosen editor, and Allen Lindsley, business manager, for Our Senior year. The initial issue of this paper, under the new regime, proved a decided success, the book gradually increased in size, and now is one of the best papers published by any high school the country over. At last we reached the top rung Of the ladder of fame and found ourselves dignified Seniors. However, the original Class of 13 was no more; many with- drawals had taken place and the faculty had also undergone some changes. Professor P. A. Johnston became our principal, as Doctor Lyon was transferred to Hughes, and several new teachers also made their debut in our midst. The organizing of our class re- sulted in the selection of James Morris, for president; Bessie Humphries, vice-president: Erwin Rauseher, treasurer, and Alice McCarthy, secretary. The social season was opened by a country dance in the gymnasium. On January 4th, the class of 1912 returned our wB-A dance of the preceding year with a delightful reception at the Hotel Alms. During the latter part of january the Class Of 1914 gave a dance in our honor, which was most enjoyable. Next came the Annual staff election, at which time Harry Schafer was elected editor, and James Moch, business manager. Even the school is not immune from the wiles of hDam Cupid? Alice Smith, one of our quiet, brilliant Seniors, was married to Tilden Gaddis during the mid- year examination week. However, Alice proved a sensible girl and did not let her marriage interfere with her school work. On the 18th of the second month of the year the Oratorical Contest took place, and of eleven contestants, Amelia Nagel, Edward Israel, Emilie Hauck, Celia Silverman and Paul A. Toepfert were chosen to write oratio-ns for the final decision, which was awarded Amelia Nagel. During the year many lectures were given, par- ticularly t0 the ttA class, which somewhat varied the routine of school life, Many new pictures were also bought by the Art League, which enjoyed quite a pros- perous year, and in the athletic line our school was ably represented, as it has always been. Busy, indeed, were our 'last few weeks at school, not omitting preparations for Commencement, the great- est event in our high school career. With sad hearts, and hand in hand with President Taft, whose place was now taken by a new pilot, we said iigoodrbye to the school where for four years we spent our time, most of us working hard, and upon leaving owing her a big debt of gratitude which we hope some day to repay. Our paths will naturally diverge, but whatever courses we may pursue we shall always be proud to say that we graduated from Wood- ward, than which we can no prouder birthright hold? 20 THE CITY OF TO-MORROW WAS passing by the Chem. Lab, one day, when I I heard a voice inside loudly exclaim, ItAh, here it iseat last--I have it-the secret of the future Thinking that one of our dramatically inclined pupils was rehearsing his part before H: C L, H: S O. and N H, I timidly entered the room. There, staring at me with glaring eyes, stood Charlie Meister, with hair awry and hands outstretched with fiendish glee. Upon perceiving me, he began again, uI have itel haveecome lookethe secret of the future is within my grasp! ItQuite good, quite good, I exclaimed, applauding, Hyou will become a good actor yet. ttNO, no, please don't joke,H he re- sponded, KKthis is serious, very, very serious. See what I have here, and he pointed to a machine before him. I advanced cautiously and eiamihecl the device. It was a box filled with various chemicals that gave off a peculiar, colored ray, which I had never seen before. Even as I noticed this, the youth spoke again. ItIt is the greatest invention of the age. Through this machine we can foretell all that will occur in the future. See for yourself?! And he pointed to a hole about an inch square, which was secreted under a Hap Of the metalt I looked, and, to my astonishment, there arose before my eyes a wonderful city, with massive buildings, long and wide thoroughfares, and here and there were 21 beautiful green parks, titled with lakes and bubbling brooks. hThe City of To-morrowf whispered a voice at my elbow. The picture grew clearer and clearer, until I began to distinguish people, walking hither and thither; nearer and nearer they came, and at length I even recognized the features of the pedestrians. Thus, the picture stood before me and unraveled the story of the future. At a place where two large streets intersected there stood a tall man; he was addressing a crowd of men and women gathered around him, and, as I listened, the words of the orator came faintly to me. The Lord has said that man shall reap all that he sowed, and, indeed, we ought to be thankful that we live in such an era of good will, of good faith. The voice grew dimmer and dimmer as the picture passed on, and, just as it was about to disappear entirely, the speaker turned 10ward me and I recognized the features of my old friend, James Morris. But to glance at the next pictureebeholdl It was a petite little nurse waiting on a pale though hand- some young man. I heard him say, IIYes dear, after I get well, we Willi. Her eyes told the answer. To my utter amazement the pretty nurse was none other than Bessie Humphries, who, after nursing a multi- millionaire back to life, had-well, you know What usually occurs when two people hnd enjoyment in each others company. The next picture shmved the entrance to a large, magnificent theater, Albrechtis Pastime. In the lobby stood Edgar himself. Even as I looked, Alice McCarthy and Grace Donovan, both society leaders, passed by; immediately Edgar turned to stare at them, but a beautiful lady at his right gave him a reproachful look and said, TiVVhy, Edgar, after all Iive taught you! ttAIl right? fell in Edgar, and he escorted the lady, who closely resembled our old friend, Alice Deprez, into the theater. The first number begins. A woman, tall and grace- ful, steps forth and begins to warble. Toward the end, as her lovely voice dies away into the silence, the audi- ence remains still for a moment; then, with one accord, there bursts forth tremendous applause for Jeanette Maf- fey, who is now the worlds greatest soprano. The next number is a sketch, entitled nFifty Weeks? by Julius Holzberg, in which Asa Butterfield is starring. Ever and anon, Edward L. Israel appears 011 the stage with such lines as, HThe carriage awaits thee, my Lord, or ITMy lady, someone is without,H and the reply ever is, ,Tis well, ,tis well. The next performer takes the stage. This is a piano soloist. Ah! only one could play like that. I scrutinize her face for some indications of her identity, and, sure enough, it is an old school friend, Irene Gardner. Then come some Grecian art poses, by Hyman Markowsky, George Hauck and Thomas Grady. 22 Next is Funny Boy Evans, who gives us a bit of comedy, entitled gTCreamus, the Boy IYonder. This sketch was compiled by Ray Smith, who is a second Lew Fields. The concluding act is entitled TTShelley 8: OiDonnel, the two furnishing a hair-raising stunt on the bars which brings an overwhelming ovation. The picture gradually fades from VIEW and another showing a spacious hall takes its place. It is filled with the fair sex and from what is said, there is a meeting of a. great political club, called hThe Amazons. The principal speaker is Alice Oehler, who tells us TTWhat women should do, now that they have the ballot. She is introduced by the militant suffragette, Caroline W'aldo. By this time I have become accustomed to seeing my schoolmates and I recognize the ofhcers of the club on the platform, Emilie Hauck, Mildred LeClere and Celia Silverman, who now are the hpowers that be? As the roll is called, I hear many familiar names and recog- nize many faces, Lovela Hagans, Gwendoline Arthur, Anna Huheey, Stella Murphy, Elsie Haefner, Helen Gates and Frances Ross. Again the scene changes. It is a court room. The judge, who, as I live, is Mildred Emmit, rises and raps for order. The bailiff, who is none other than XValter Bagel, cries, Oh yeioh yeeoh ye-. The attor- ney for the defense is Big Bill CroakeYi The jury is composed of twelve old XYoodward girls. Lillie Doering. Irene Fox, Naomi Grothus, Mary Shephard, Kathryn Coffey, Emily Arnold, Virginia Dolle, Bessie Jones, Bernice Valerio, Helen Hunt, Viola Bitter and Grace Sherman, successful business women all. Then the picture shifted, and a long street, filled with stores, went slowly past. The names on the various windows struck my attentionsHCahill and Davis, Attorneys at Law ; ttBi-yan Butterheld, Cheese Factory ; Shatter, Newhigging and Wersel, Autosh; ttEveland and Clift, Farm Supplies. Two women, whom I recognized to be Hatty Swee- ney and Esther Hunt, were earnestly talking on the street corner. After the noise of an aeroplane, driven by Burgoyne, passed, I heard Harriet say, HWhat are you doing now, Esther? IrWhy, I am a reporter on The Su-rWagettef edited by Grace Kemper and Lillie Dunn; you know they always do things together. Anna Backus and Margaret Holdt work there also. By the way, what are you doing P tiOh, I am a settles ment worker, Hattie replied, as she hastened off. The next picture was a. neWspaper building, and on the window was pasted the latest edition of the nDan'ly H owlf edited. owned and managed by Harry Schafer. Many catchy advertisements caught my attention, such as HPaul Toepfert, Ragtime player in the Cabareth; gGret the New Pony, by Fritz Oehlsehlaeger ; rISegal, Sachs and Fialeo, Architects, build anything from a toothpick to a chicken coop. On the front page was a large notice reading, IIJohn Hilberg, the butcher, has invented a new way to kill cowsf and following this heading was a long account of the marvelous invention. In the theatrical news there was an announcement read- ing, See The XVaiff now playing at the Syrique Theater, with Cara Baer in the leading role as the waif? 23 The next view was the inside of a home. There in front of me was Amelia Nagel. You remember in her oratorical essay she said that the IZVlothet should rule the Home. Well, she certainly has put it into practice. Next I see a great school, similar to old Woodward. but much larger and grander. The ground is covered with green grass and Howers and there is no unsightly fence to give a prison appearance to the temple of learning. I see a white-haired old man accosted by a middle aged woman. How do you do Mr. Jol-mston.PH she says, III guess you do not remember me. I am Hilda Shilling of the Class of 1913. I have returned to look Over the new school and the records of the class. I am truly glad to see you and I will send for someone to guide you through the schooli As to the records, you may look through them here in the thce. And he brought out a time-worn ledger, which Hilda opened. IIAh, here it is,n she cried. iILetIs see, Emma Haslinger, no, not IIaSlinger any longer, and Marie Short married to Hi h-; hm, I knew that long ago; and Mildred Miller a missionary, Jennie Moreland, a gymnasium teacher, and Helen Braunwatt in France learning the Parisian tongue so as to teach to perfection in the Cincinnati schools,I She was interrupted in her perusal by a voice. Here is a boy, Hilda. This is young Tilden Gaddis' a son of one of your former schoolmates. I gaze intently at the red- haired youth, bashfully bowing to Hilda, and wonder who he could be. They go out of the ofhce and step into an elevator, which shoots them to the top hoor, where the lunch room and gymnasium are. Here the dishes are drawn from the tables by an immense magnet, dropped into a large receptacle, which delivers them at one end, clean and dry, while Ruth Walton and Edith Benjamin, the supervisors, intently read the latest book of poems by Marie Lindsey. Just then, as if to disturb the quietude of the scene, the elevator door opens and another woman alights, leading two young, unruly chil- dren. WVhy, if there isnt Edna Beck, cries Hilda, and immediately embraces Edna, exclaiming at the same time. HWhat darling little children! Yes,H replies Edna, proudly, iijust like me when I was their age. Thought lid come to look around. Lets go around together. Then, with their guide, they go to the gymnasium, where they see Mildred Zumbiel in charge. From there they visit the various classes. Blanche Wait is teaching English, Helen Lusby expounds the caprices of geometry, Jennie Caplan assists the pupils with Latin'roqts, Then they narrowly escape an explosion when Margaret McDaniels, surprised at their appear- ance, put together nN H2 and K N O? Just as they step into the Chemical Laboratory they hear Elsie Sebastian say, HYou neednlt show me the results of your experiments; they used to bother me 3. 'lot in my young days, too; just throw them away?' The next view is the auditorium of the large school. Another white-bearded man. Mr. Simon is announcing the number. itMiss Rose Baden, Of 1913, will render us a vocal selection? Our attention is distracted by the sight of Zelma Wheeler, now a stern-visaged teacher, giving a scolding to- an exact image of an old friend, May Becker. nYou are just like what your mother 24 used to be, Zelma is saying, lilight and frivolous. Others upon the program were Irma Nash, who gave a recitation, and Werfleman and F romme, singers and ven- triloquists. The scene changes to a large kindergarten room, where a mothersi meeting is in progress. Joanna. Hill and Ethel Vanderbilt seem to be the teachers, while Pauline Price is the president. Among the members I see a great many old classmates. There is Lillian Murray, with 3. sticky child hanging to her skirts, while its mother is trying to listen to a talk by Susan Nichol- son, liVVhy I Whip My Chilr.H I see Edith Benson, Cecilia. Schuchardt, Ruth Dandridge, Ruth Whitney, Ethel W ilson, Alice Hinnenkamp, Lila Ingram, Myrtle Martin, Pansy Matson, Helen Schoenwandt, Edith Storch, Esther Stutzmaii, Elsie Weber, Martha Wink- field, Connie Wysong and Elsie Kuhn. . Next I see an immense ball park, and Circling it are thousands of seats filled with spectators. As the scene draws nearer, I notice that the pitcher for the Reds is Julius Penn, while Grubbs is doing the back- stopping; Dell is at first base, Schafer at second, and Loehman and Fallon are in the outfield. Maienschien and Mayer are the umpires. On the signboard, Which is the fence about the held, is an advertisement which reads, HAny batter hitting this sign will receive a suit of clothes from the Moch Clothing Companyf, The scene Changes entirely now. There appears a great square, packed on both sides with people. Mounted policewomen keep the crowd back I start back in surprise, for, seated on a horse and neatly hedge ing the crowd in, is Inez Hughes; further on, another policewoman, arresting a drunken man, proves to be Lucille Mitchell. The cause of such a great crowd is soon apparent. The inaugural parade is slowly pro- gressing along the broad avenue. Soon appear the representatives of the ttYoung Womeifs Blaine Club. At the head is Elizabeth Shelley, as sprightly as ever. Following are many school friends, girls whom I little expected to see become suffragetteseCorinne Jones, Elizabeth Murphy, political leader in Kansas, Ruth Hartsell, governor of Panama, Agnes Widmeyer, of the previous cabinet. My attention is now attracted by the new president and his wife watching the parade. Looking closely, I recognize the features of Eugene Fox, our former classmate. Behind him stands the cabinet, DeArmand, Gerstle, and three women, required by a new law, Marie N ichols, Helen Bobe and Anna May Watkins. The scene again Shifts to a long Street. To the right and left are large buildings. I notice especially a magnificent edifice which has a bank 011 the ground lillilllllllillilllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllll llli j . i 25 H001: On entering I discover that Phyl. Carr is presi- dent, while Harwood and Geenburg are behind the windows as cashiers. It is just three dclock and the bank closes. These three old Woodward boys go out of the building into the adjoining one, labeled ttRauscher it Spangenburg's Cafe. The next scene is again a newspaper ofhce. Spread in front of me is the adver- tising sheet with the following notices: Dormelly. Hartley and Schaengold, Clothiers ; KtHarwood and Wrede, Soap Manufacturersii ; ItTake Gartelmalfs Course in Cartooning : nVenosa and H'ickemeier, Artists and Architects ; HRead Al Lindsleyys latest book ; ttPic- tures drawn by Kincaid ; Kemp and Hill, Athletic Supplies ; UGO to the Ottenjohn Links ; tIHear Kinyon sing the latest song at Englehardtis five cent staref, There is a sort of haze passing over the picture, and in the distance I see a banquet room filled with bent old men and women. They all rise feebly to respond to the voice of the toastmaster. Like a voice from the grave I faintly hear, uTo the Class of 1913. Then the pic- ture fades from view and all is dark. JAMES MORRIS President of the Senior Class, Athletic Association, Art League, Oracle Staff, ANNUAL Staff Ah, whose picture is this? Oh, that, my dear friend, is the ex-cowboy from North Dakota, who came to Ohio to find a wife. He has risen to the exalted posi- tion, President of the Class, 1913, which office he has tilled with exceptional ability. Perhaps the reason for his great success in that capacity is due to the fact that girls compose two-thirds of our class, and you know Jimmy was always popular with the fair 56x. Morris proved to be very popular among his classmates when he Obtained a large majority for President 011 the first ballot. He proved his tistic ability by putting to flight five robbers ML who attempted to hold him up in the wilds of Fruit Hill, while returning from a call on one of his fair friends We saw in the papers that a James Morris had bought a horse and buggy. Can this be our Jimmy? IRWIN RAUSCHER Treasurer of the Senior Class, Athletic Association, Art League. If Irwin had lived in the olden days he would have undoubtedly made an ideal gjester.u He seems to have a never-ending line of comedy to make life worth living for his friends. However, he does not let his humor get the best of him, but can be as serious and reserved as a judge. IIe proved himself quite a politician at the A grade meetings, and generally managed to iiraih'oad', through anything he wished. As Class Treasurer he was most capable, managing vast UH sums with perfect control and great skillt Knowing a time for joy and a time for work, Rauscheris future outlook appears as happy as he looks. 26 BESSIE HUMPHRIES Vice-President of the Senior Class, Art League, ANNUAL Staff, Athletic Association, Oh, thou art fairer than the evening air Clad in tile beauty of a thousand stars. Bessie, the Vice-President of our class, has made many friends during the four years she has been with us. It is hard to say how much we missed her that one day she was absent. Bessie has not only helped us over many hard places in Virgil, by her excellent work in Latin, but also in preparing dinners and making good things in the domestic classes. Those who have seen her in the Gym appre- ciate the fun that is in her and know that she is not as quiet as she sometimes looks. As our mascot at Basket Ball games she folds her thumbs and says, HDelft, and the opponent's ball does not go into the basket. We wish that her life may be crowned with love and happiness and that she may never forget her Woodward friends. ALICE MCCARTHY Secretary of the Senior Class, Art League, Tennis Club, Oracle Staff, Athletic Association. Alice McCarthy, the faithful Secretary of the Class of 1913. Who is not acquainted with her? She is of such an optimistic nature and pleasant di5positi0n that she is beloved of all her classmates. She has often been spoken of as the girl with the smile that never comes Off. Yet even Alice is not without fault; her daily tardiness in Chemistry has brought her the nickname, the Amenf' When reproved for her tardiness she promptly responds that large bodies move slowly, and one is made for comfort and not speed. A girlish whim of hers is the keep ing of a diary in which is recorded a faithful account of all her joys and sorrows. May the joys of her future be many and her sorrows few. 27 HARRY SCHAFER Editor of The ANNUAL, Oracle Staff, Football Team. Yes, Harry edited this book, and wrote for the school paper, and played hue football, and all that, but this little sketch has a greater object than to tell of such ordinary things. Harry has a hat; we all have hats, but Harryis hat is different. W hen he was in the lifth reader of school, ambition ran riot in Harry;' he quit school and started to selling newspapers. He wore a mere cap, then, but the cap soon became too small, so he got a job as messenger boy. After six months of that good exercise, he moved his cap one peg farther; he sold magazines 011 the trains and traveled all around. Then Harry went backwards a little ; he worked in factories and machine shops, and then he scored. He started to study; he Studied shorthand; he moved his hat ahead. He was Matted now; he entered the employ of the Enquirer. He made good. N 0w, here comes that nervous hat again. He hung his hat up in our halls at Woodward. He made good; he was a social favorite, a gentleman with the horn polish. We have honored him, and nOW'he leaves us. His hat is in the Chicago University, and a well-filled hat it is. JAMES L. MOCH Business Manager of The ANNUAL, Art League, Oracle Staff, Athletic Association. HSure you will give us an ad. Why, you know Who I am? Iim Jimmy, the same party who put store cheese in the macaroni, which is served in our lunch room. This is only part of the conversation used by Moch in landing another twenty-dollar advertisement for the Annual. If you doubt that this rosy-cheeked lad could be a. successful business manager yodre mistaken. Just glance over, at the back of this book, the many ads he has landed, and youill agree that Jim will have a successful business career, The only thing that troubles Moch is the fair sex. After defying them for nearly three years. he has capitulatecl, and new many fellows are clamoring for their lost fair friends. But Moch is not such a bad fellow, after all. Next to his dinner, he loves fun. and he surely has enough of it. Too bad that graduation is coming soou, for we surely will miss you, old boy. 28 EMILY ARNOLD Art League, Athletic Association. Emily, so quiet, demure and sweet, With a t'oic'e .w tranquil and 10m; Of all the girls I chmzre to meet Shek- the dearrst one I Imam In describing Emily one can say she is simple, demure and sweet. She is always the same and ready to greet all with a smile. Emily says that her only trial in school is Latin, but she is not the kind to give up. Her courage failed, however, in the second half year, when she was allowed to drop Cicero and take up Astronomy. Emily has taken great interest in this study and some may think she will be a famous star gazer, but this is not her greatest ambition. She intends to go to a Western college next year and later become a domestic science teacher, but who knows? She would certainly make a model home maker. There is another thing that interests Emily-is it possible that she is a suffrag'ette? Re- member she is from Colorado. We wish her the greatest success. ANNA BACKUS Art League. FUN of jollity and fun. Anna is one of our little girls. She is little. but, oh. my! the strength of her right arm. This is shown in Domestic Science, where she vigorously beats batters and doughs. She is an irrepressible giggler, and can smile even When an English Exam is approaching, which speaks for itself. Is she talkative? Oh, 110! She is quiet sometimes, but that is only when someone else is talking. Anna is always in for a good time, and is usually found where the mast fun is going on. We wish you, Anna, all the success in the world. 29 4 fi' Si - wm-um. EDGAR ALBRECHT Oracle Staff. Eddyi: has attained a dignity and a reServe power beyond his years, and these accomplishments aid materially in making him a popular and well-liked youth. If Edgar has any enemies we have not seen them at Woodward, be- cause here everybody is his friend, as he is cverybody's friend. A rosy future surely must await one so popular and so capable. WALTER BAGEL Walter is one of our classmates who hails from the woolly wilds of Cummins- ville. Although he comes from such a part of the world, he is remembered for his politeness and generosity to all, always on deck to help his comrades out of any trouble they may have. Walter is know by every girl in Cumminsville because he is a page at that branch library. But when he is speaking to One of the 'ifair sex you can see the crimson light up his visage, even though he is not wearing a red tie. Walter is going to continue his education at the University of Cincinnati and prepare himself there to be a chemical engineer. We all wish Walter Godspeed and happiness in his future. 30 SUE ADDIE BALL Art League. Here is our friend Addie, who always manages to get into the room just one minute before the tardy bell rings. Addie is quite an alto singer, and also a great church worker. Although she comes in on the home stretch, she always gets there. Addie always seems to be in deep thought. She is, indeed, a lover of English and Domestic Science, and some day she may become a splendid home maker. Addie expects to spend her vacation in Chicago. In the fall she will go to college, and we sincerely hope that she will be very successful there. CARA BAER Art League. A friend in need is a friend indccdf' Cara has always aimed to be a friend to her classmates. She iSetl'le kind of a friend that slips you her book when you are called upon in recitation and have forgotten your own. Cara has brown hair, and eyes to match, and a mouth that is always ready to break into a smile, especially during the history lessons. On ltVanity DayU Cara appeared with one long earring dangling from her left ear. Where the other one was, no one could guess, but probably two of them would have been too heavy for one so small. It has been whispered about that Cara wishes to be-but then we shall not tell you. for we do not believe that Cara intends to be anything but a good housekeeper, for which, after her training in the Domestic Science Department, we feel sure she is well adapted. 31 JACOB BOGDANOFF Art League Athletic Association. Jakefs motto is, uFirst come, first served? If you come into the lunch room, just about the time the bell rings, and FtBogie has not quite laid away his lunch, you can yell gVeal Pie and Beansii forever, for all he cares. But when this dark-haired youth comes into the Spanish class and pronounces about ttumsteenii palabras cspmmlas, about a mile in length, and in rapid succession, the rest of us sit up and take notice. On account of a serious accident, which befell him some time ago, Bogie has been forced to carry on many extra subjects. That has not kept him from being ranked among the iirst in the class. Jake believes in Woman Suffrage, and he. with Fialco, is always keen for an argument on that point. It certainly would be fine to see this notice some day: tiMr. J. Bogdanoff has been nominated by the Ohio W'omanis Suffrage Club for Governor. Not so bad, eh, Jake? HOVYARD BURGOYNE Art League, Athletic Association. He hails from Clifton-ethere is his home. It is not necessary to say this, because the predominating expression on his face is that of a passionate desire for sleep. He invariably comes to school on Monday worn out, simply played out, because of too much rest. Last year he broke a record by falling asleep in physics. Though it is difficult to believe, he sometimes does come to for a brief period. These spells are probably due to the fact thatrhe lived in Hyde Park at one time. Among his many accomplishments the art of playing the pianola ranks hrst. He gave the Spanish class a thrill on March the sixth. when he arose for the first time this year and translated four consecutive lines of iiCapitan Venenofi However, his voice is more frequently heard in Latin; when he once gains headway in translating Virgil. it takes the united efforts of the teacher and students to make him stop. Notwithstanding all these faults, his future seems very promising, for he is going to move. If you should ask him where, he would say East. But do not be alarmed, he does not mean it. His idea of the East is Hyde Park. 32 EDNA BECK Art League, Glee Club, Tennis Club, Athletic Association. The statement that good humor is contagious proves itself here. One can not be grumpy and with Edna at the same time. She is never without her breezy smile. A number of our great men and women have had red hair, and Edna hag that promise of greatnessi Edna has not told us what her plan for her career is, and Mr. Goodwin keeps very still, but the good will of her classmates goes out to her in whatever it may prove to be. EVA BECK Art League, Tennis Club. And her smile, like Simshine, dart: Into sad and happy hearts. This is Eva, better known to her classmates as Peggy. In the brief two years she has been with us she has gained many friends. Whenever Eva enters the rooms there seems to be a peculiar glow; this may be due to the color of her hair or to her naturally jolly disposition. If you want sympathy, and are feeling blue, just go to Eva. In the lunch room she keeps the girls in a continual state of merriment. Eva is a good student, but, although she shines like a starli in physics, she and her Latin can not agree. Eva hopes to become a trained nurse, and we feel sure that she will meet with success because of her sweet, unselfish ways and her desire to help someone. 33 ASA BUTTERFIELD Art League, Football, Basket Ball, All-around W3, Athletic Association. Asa Butterheldt the all-around man. Perhaps there has not been another fellow in the school so well known and so well liked as Asai Strolling through the halls at recess, rather than visiting the lunch room, has seemed to be one of his favorite pastimes. There will always remain a tender spot in the hearts of the fair sex for this great crusher. Trig. seemed to be the Waterloo for Asa. but we know that it never disturbed him very much. As a football player, he was of the best; a classy basket ball player, as we all know. Nothing in the hue -of athletics ever worried A53. to any great extent. W'e shall always remember him as a good-naturecl and fairly well-hehaved nboy. We wish you good luck, Asa. BRYANT BUTTERFIELD Woodward has produced many celebrities in her day, but by far the most renowned Of these is our learned astronomer. Bryant Butterfield. He claims the Big Dipper is not visible until it has reached a position directly overhead, which it does at twelve oiclock P. M., for which startling statement he was highly com- mended by his teacher. A11 joking aside, Bryant is bright conscientious and per- severing. His greatest ambition is to become a journalist, and we expect to see him editing the Atlantic Afom'izly in times to come. Hereis hoping he will win. 34 MAY BECKER Art League. The blithcsr bird upon the tree Had Heler a lighter heart than shau To know May is to say this: She always has a smile for everyone. If she is too busy to smile with her lips she uses her eyes. When she tries to frown she closes her lips so tightly that she brings her dimples into play. May is very fond of playing games, live hundredll being her favorite. Everyone knows what an excellent cook she is; we can not forget the taste of her delicious cakes and bread. Some day she may have someone to share her goodies with. V'Ve wish her happi- ness and success in her future life. EDITH BENJAMIN Art League, Athletic Association A little nonsense now and then 15 relished by the best of men. Yes, this is our happy, vivacious sprightly, little Edith. She is little, but all here, nevertheless. It is too bad that these pictures are not colored, for then only could we appreciate her rosy cheeks. Beauty specialists say that one must get beauty sleep before midnight. but somehow, we can not understand it; the rule does not apply to Edith; she seldom gets to bed tillhivell, not right after dinner. She always has a good supply of jokes and anecdotes. and. if you can not see her, you are always sure to hear her. Welll remember you with joy, Edith! 35 PHYL. D. CARR Oracle Staff, All-around W. He loved to trip the light fantastic taett M1: Carr is a gentleman of Southern extraction, coming from sunny Tennessee. His first name is Phylonzo-Tjust think of it. girls, Phylonzo D. Carr. NOW, doesnit that sound romantic? Since his residence up North he has shortened it to Philip, and, out of sympathy, his fellow classmates called him by the simple sobriquet 0f Phyl. Phyl and the classics did not go very well together. He pre- ferred to be down in the machine shop making gas engines-that would not work. Philip was very fond of athletics. It .was a great sight to see his lank form all doubled up, traversing the track, trying to establish new speed records. One of Phil's great weaknesses is the Movies. He frequents the Family Theater daily, and is, therefore, well posted on events. But laying all jokes aside, Philip 0r Phylonzo, as you choose to call him, is a quiet, conscientious, industrious chap 0f exceedingly good behavior and the same may be said of his habits. Herels wish- ing him success and happiness all through life. ALFRED CLIFT '1He bears his blushing honor: thick Imam him. We now come to the next specimen. Shades of William, itls Clift, author and follower of the wellaknown expressions. Hence, loathed melancholy,H and gI should worry and get a wrinkle? In fact, he has followed them so industriously that he is now the proud possessor of the famous Clift smile. and-Oh, we will say no more about his blush. We prophesy that Clift will some day enter politics, as Mayor of Addyston, and revolutionize the whole social, economic and administrative system of that great city. 36 EDITH BENSON ANNUAL Staff, Art League, Tennis Club, Athletic Association. 'the and sweet and like the fair? Edith would sit up all night to study. She loves to cook lat homel, and would stretch doughnut dough all day for the pleasure of making lljust one more. She makes and keeps many friends. When Edith first came to our school she was so sedate she simply wouldnlt laugh; so considering it our duty, we taught her how. In fact, she has become so learned in the affairs of Laughlanc,U that we think she will achieve her greatest success in life in teaching this science. VIOLA BITTER Art League. 'Ti: better to be a little of something than a whole lot of nothing. Bitter is her name, but it is surely a misnomer. She is one of the smallest girls in our class. Even though a wee little girl, she has a head that holds a tremendous lot of knowledge, which she is always willing to share with those in need. Her natural dignity and reserve have kept her from being widely known. She does not care for frivolity, but is quiet and modest. Viola is very fond of her studies, but especially of Greek. We have wondered many a time why she rushes into the room so early in the morning. uttering as she enters, KlI donlt know a thing. She has not decided what she intends to do in the future, but we wish her good luck and success whatever it may be. 37 a i mares .. i. WILLIAM CROAKE Athletic Association, Art League, All-around nW. Endowed with a remarkable mind, in which cleverness and refinement are intermingled, W illiam is knewn to all his friends as one of keen, logical insight, and as the possessor of a wealth of facts. He is a great wit. always on hahd to give a good story, and never failing to give support to anything which 15 to advance the welfare of Old XVoodward. He is an athlete of ability, always punc- tual, and a great chum. We wish him success. GEORGE DELL Baseball Team, Football Team, Athletic Association, Art League, This scarlet-haired youth, otherwise ttRedCi has for two years played on the Woodward baseball and football teams. Unfortunately, George was out of the most important part of the football schedule this year, thereby losing his chance of making his football letter. He was more fortunate in baseball, playing the whole season without any serious mishap and being one of the best pinch hitters 011 the teami George is a tine fellow, and is always on the right side of a thing whether he wins or loses by it. This is his chief characteristic, and it has made him the popular chum that he is. You have our best wishes, George. 38 HELEN BOBE Art League. Here is Helen, quiet and studious. If you doult happen to have studied your American history lesson, just apply for aid to the helpful. She will supply you goodenaturedly with all needed information. And she is'so attentive, too, in her classes! If only some of the rest of us could be 50! Helen is a very quiet, demure kind of girl, and we might take her as an ideal Senior. She walks Sew dately dawn the halls with true Senior dignity. And who knows? Maybe some of our little Freshies take her as their model of decorum. We will surely be proud to say in the future that Helen is a graduate of Woodward. ROSE BODEN Art League, Glee Club. A rate among roses, A fiawer :c'imout thorns. No name could have been more appropriately chosen than the one given to Rose, for it denotes her sunny disposition and her generous ways. She has given us many joyful hours by entertaining us with her voice, and her friendship is one that is valued when once obtainedf As a pupil in German, however, she is like a ship without a rudder-lost at sea. Rose's hrst inclinations are toward social affairs. with a desire for domestic life. On account of her popularity this desire will no doubt be fulhllecl within the next few years. 39 IVAN DE ARMAND Who in our school does not know Ivan, our book distributor and lunch server? When we hear a rubber-tired push cart camiug down the hall we-know that De Armand is furnishing the power. Now, we understand that this is not a form of pastime, but a means of distributing books to the different rooms. As a rule, he has not much to say, but is one of our most popular students, a statement which speaks for itself. De Armand is our manual training star, and is surely a credit to our school in that department, as well as in others. We all like to see him in the company of the opposite sex, with whom he is quite popular, for here he displays the tismile that wonit come off? We hope Ivan has a good reason for being in his home room so seldom. J. LAWRENCE DONNELLY Athletic Assoriation, Art League. HQuite the gentleman, sir, a perfect gentleman, a Chesterfield, I say, 3 Chester- i'ield.'y He has the bel air.n Know what the bel air is? Well, first of all, a gentleman to have the iibel airii must be a strong, manly man; secondly, he must dress with Hpiece de resistance coats, ttpiece de resistance ties, etc.; and lastly. he must be a gentleman. Joe, is a Blue Grass gentleman, one of breeding and character. a representative type, a comedian and a gentleman. 40 HELEN BRAUNWART Art League, Glee Club. SA rompanian that is cheerful 1': worth more than gold? Quiet Helen-not exactly. Helen is one of our jolliest chums after she is once started. lNe need only to be in her company :1 few minutes and we feel as though the world were Smiling upon us. Her best studies are her languages. She loves athletics of all kinds, and we have heard a rumor that she loves to run races from Latin classes to the home room. She is a great admirer of the gymnasium and is quite a picture in her gym Suit. This is not all, for Helen is a distin- guished member of the Glee Club, and we are sure that some day she will be famous. Best wishes, Helen. GRACE C. CAT-TILL Art League, W4 comrade blithe and full of glee, lIVha dares to laugh out full and free. Next comes Grace, the happy-gO-lucky girl, who never worries about a thing, is always willing to help someone, but eternally trying to slide out tone of her original expressionsl 0f something'herself. She shines in Domestic Science; the biscuits and pastry she makes are so delicious that they would make anyone leave his happy home. When there is anything cloingf Grace is always on hand, having all the fun possible and helping others do the same. Her greatest pastime is running for the train. She is a good comrade and we wish her success. 41 EDWARD ENGLEHARDT H is more noble to wear out than to rust out? If you're feeling down and out, and can see no pleasure in the world, go to Englehardt. If his good-natured, humorous disposition doesn't chase away your grouch in a short while, you have a hopeless case. Englehardtis affinity for loud ties is great, indeed. Don't walk through town with him unless it happens to be Sunday, because he insists upon looking over the stock of every haberdashery he comes to. Englehardt is always studying eexcepting while he is in swimmingi; he even cuts his swims short, so that he may have more time to devote to his books. But his studying has not been in vain, for he has succeeded in graduating in three years. He is an enthusiastic Woodward footer, and an ardent baseball fan. Besides. he is quite a mathematician and aspires to be a civil engineer, and build new town Out West; but we think it would he more prohtabie for him to be a German comedian eheis a marvel in Germany Ed's a fine, straightforward fellow, and will always stand by a friend. CREMUS EVANS Art League, Athletic Association If at about eight twentyenine you should happen to see a streak of some- thing whiz past you. you know it is Evans trying to reach the room before the fatal tardy bell rings. and he very seldom makes it. Then follows a long debate with Mr. Homburg. iiResolved. That the tardy bell rang too soon to-day, in which Cremus usually loses. He gives daily boxing exhibitions in Room 77. and any- one wishing to see him, apply to his hexing partner. iiKid Pedro? 42 CATHRYN COFFEY Art League. Her mire was ever soft. gentle and lows flu errell'ent thing in woman. I! A joke is never so lldry that Cathryn does not see some fun in it If she wants to talk iwhich she is ever ready to dol, she talks and then takes the conse- quences. Cathryn is a fine skater, both on ice and roller skates. Then, too, she is always willing to do what others want her to do, that is, if she feels like it. Her cooking in Domestic Science has won for her many friends. even if the results did make them sick. She is generous to a fault, especially when distrib- uting the unwashed supply dishes in Domestic Science. She wishes to be :1 Domestic Science teacher. lVe are all sure she will succeed, for she is well fitted for the work. May she ever be able to tread the pathway of life as lightly as she does now. RUTH DANDRIDGE Art League. Of course, Ruth is gentle and kind, and is ready at all times to lend a helping hand. She is a jolly girl, and she has a jolly laugh that is very catching. There is one time. however, when she is really serious, and that is when she discusses her plans for a career. Ruth loves drawing, and it is her great desire to master it. She has much talent and we know she will make a big success of her work. 43 JOHN EVELAND Athletic Association, Art League, Baseball Team. Ladies and Gentlenieanlie writer takes pleasure in introducing to you, the most celebrated farmer and tomato canner that ever roamed the halls of Wood- ward. Wheu John was a little fellow, he would go to the tomato patch, till his pockets with green tomatoes, and then go to the poultry yard and throw them at the old gobbler. As he grew older, 21 baseball replaced the tomato and a catcheris mitt took the place of the gobeer. Thus, he developed into a baseball player. This eminent country gentleman is noted for his sound common sense and his affable nature, both of which have made for him many friends among his classmates and teachers. WILLIAM FALLON Athletic Association, Art League, Baseball Team, All-around HW. William, besides being the greatest comedian in the school, is a sensational ball player and a brilliant Chemistry and German student. He is one of those fellows who are always trying to excel in their work, and, as a result, he has climbed to the last rung of the ladder With ease. Those Who are classmates of his are always cheered on gloomy days by the original humor which he is wont to express. 44 GARNETT DAVIS Art League, Athletic Association. To be sweet, simple and sincere, Is dowry worth a hemisphere. Garnett is a quiet girl, and, though Of a retiring disposition, when you know her she is a jolly and staunch friend. She is often seen dreaming, and we wonder where her thoughts are. Garnett says that French is her hobby, but we have never been able to understand why she often neglects it until eight- thirty A. M. She also says that Trig. is her main stumbling block, and we dont blame her, for there are others who think the same. Hereis hoping that she meets with success throughout her life. ALICE DEPREZ Art League, Athletic Association. 50 delicate is she that she seems a creature of the imagination? Her winning ways and frank nature have made her a favorite with all. Her cheerful disposition has helped to relieve the monotony of the daily routine of school life. But even this quiet girl can be aroused. The voice that is usually sweet and low can often be heard echoing down the halls like peals of thunder when Alice becomes interested in a Spanish translation. Even people across the street, on such occasions, raise the blinds and pop their heads out of the windows to hear the reverberations of that resounding translation. Dancing certainly agrees with her, and in it she is very graceful withal. Sheis an all-zu'ound girl, is this Alice, whom we speed on her way. 45 K- ' .

He is not only comical, but clever and keen-witted, : and possesses the wonderful art of easily winning over his audience. He is second i to no one in his ability to play the piccolo. Slow in action, yet he always manages to do whatever is necessary in sutTicient time. Whenever a pupil in the class in mathematics gets an easy problem at the board, you will hear Fialco yell Fish. l His most famous saying, one which the world will remember him by, is: llBet me 1 some dough.u Although Fialco is ready to fight at the drop of the hat, he is a studious, hardworking, energetic youth, and deserves our respect and admiration. ' We surely wish him well. EUGENE FOX All-around W, ANNUAL Staff, Art League, Athletic Association. Eugene is a bright and studious fellow. He is a fellow who mixes fun with study, but gives more time to the latter. Through his four years of school he has always been a hustler. Gene is some dancer. He has shown us that he is also interested in athletics. trying hard for a place on the track team, and also for All-around PVW He anticipates going to the ilU. C.,t'i and herels wishing him success. His motto: uThe chief art in learning is to attempt a little at a time. 46 LILLIE DOERING Art League. A friend in need 1.9 a friend indeed. Lilliels talent is in Latin, but she also shines in cooking, and she can make a meal fit for the Gods. At first sight you would think Lillie a demure little maiden, but upon closer acquaintance she is most amusing, with that little giggle, which is sometimes hard to control. No one w0uld have ever thought that Lillie would receive that little deinerit slip. which that kind teacher was so willing to give1 when Lillie thought she would try her chance at going out the wrong doort Lillie has not expressed any desire for her future career, but we wish her success in whatever she undertakes. VIRGINIA DOLLE Art League. Virginia is u maiden ml! and fair, With an unusual, conmmuding air. Virginia is a clear girl, not exactly quiet, but relined and possessed of a mag- netism which draws people to her. She is quite talkative and can always give you enlightenment 0n the subject you are discussing. She takes great delight in tell- ing long-winded stories, which she expects us to believe. If pupils were marked on their ability to ask questions, Virginia would lead the class. Her effort is her crowning point; she tries her best at all times and generally succeeds in all her undertakings. Virginials highest ambition is to become 3. Domestic Science teacher. We have reasons to believe that she will invent something as great as a tireless cooker or the mechanical dish-washer. On the whole, Virginia is an interesting girl and we wish her much success. 47 ARTHUR FROMME Oratorical Contest. Smile, and the world smiles with you? Arthur is one of those lucky persons who get through life in an easy sort of fashion. For him life is one continual smile. He is always in a good humor, likewise always in a great hurry. And as to bluffmg, well, he certainly puts us all in the dark when it comes to that! He can make you believe that he knows all there is to know about a subject when he doesnlt know anything about it. He is noted for the speed at which he talks. He hopes to excel as an orator, but we would rather back him as a comedian. CLIFFORD GARTELMAN Art Editor of The ANNUAL, Art Editor of The Oracle, Walking Club. Cliffy is the budding genius of this class. He is the art editor for both the ANNUAL and ORACLE; this explains the cause of his spending so many bells in Mr. Jones room. Gartelman is intensely interested in his work. He is an excellent student and well liked by both schoolmates and faculty. Gartelman in- tends to go to college, and we hope some day to hear of him as Professor Gartel- man of Yale. Well, the class Wishes him well in whatever he undertakes. 48 GRACE DONOVAN Art League, Athletic Association. Gay 1': her spirit, this wimame maid. This is Grace, one of the popular girls of the Senior class, and one who believes in mixing social life with school worksas a result of which her lessons sometimes suffer. Grace has great oratorical ability, which she uses very effectively against woman suffrage. She has one failing, and that is always arriving just in time to answer roll call. We do not know what Grace will do after leaving Woodward, but when she has made a name for herself, as she is sure to do, we may be proud to say that she was a member of the class ,13. LILLIE DUNN Art League, Tennis Club, Athletic Association Ali, fair in sooth, was the maiden, Bright wax her face with smiles. It is not difficult to remember Lillian when she entered U'oodwarcl. Indeed. there are some who can recollect her when she used to jump rope in the school-' yard at the old colony. She still takes great interest in athletics and attends almost every game, rooting enthusiastically for our Woodward boys. Her athletic spirit is also shown in ilgym? She is truly a star in German, and once in a while surprises us by giving a brilliant recitation. Despite this, she is one of the professor's favorites and occupies a front seat among those reserved for his stars LU. Our friend is especially fond of Domestic Science. One day when the teacher was absent she displayed her extraordinary talent by making fudge. May her life be the reverse of the fizzle she made of that fudge. 49 txj-u-wv4h . 4 A wa-arew-wwh-a .

GRADY Walking Club, Here we have happiness and contentment incarnate. Tom always has a smile on his face, and is either whistling 0r humming. His cheery greeting in the morning makes you feel that you have been started on the day's work well. His ways are rather quiet, but he is always in earnest. He has not broken any records at Woodward, but has gone right along with the school life and work, and has reached the goal. Touts fine pompadour makes him look like a real football player. and, indeed, he can put up a first-class game. On the whole, Grady is the kind of fellow we are proud of at Woodward, and we believe that when he starts out to do a thing he will do it. RALPH ROWE GRUBBS Baseball Team. Here we have a lad from Addyston, Ohio. tPray, where is itPj; Ralph tells us that he must come about fifteen miles to school every morning. No, he does not walk. It must be terrible to come from a nice, clean little town to this big. smoky city of ours. but the smoky city has the schools. Let us turn from this frivolity. 111 the manual part of his course he does excellent work. It would not surprise anyone who knows him to see him instructor in a machine shop in one of our schools some day. although he must be training to be a lawyer, be- cause he will invariably argue on the slightest provocation. We hope he makes good in whatever business he takes up, and we wish him all the success and good luck in the world. 50 MILDRED EMMITT Art League, Athletic Association. Muidm, :uirll Hie mark, brown eyes, 111 whose orbs a shadow Hes Life: the dusk in awning skies? Yes, this is Mildred, from that Sayler Park High Schoolf! as one of the teachers always says, If you see a very faiia brown-eyed girl strolling down the corridor, either laughing or dreaming, you may assure yourself thafs Mildred; All the same, if she is a dreamer, she has found favor with many of the teachers. Trig. is her favorite study, although her teacher has an opposite view. But deift let us forget her Domestic Science. If you want something good to eat in a hurry go to Mildred. i 3:; A. a . A ELN ETTA FARLICE Art League. Be brief, for if is with words as will: mnbcamswthc more Hwy are t'andemed the deeper they burn? This girl believes that Quality not Quantity is the best rule for high school students to regard when speaking. Very seldom do we hear from her in class. but when we do, whatever she says is worth while. She is a pianist of some reputation and hopes to follow up this work after she leaves school. We wish her all success and happiness in her future work. 51 HENRY GEENBERG Athletic Association, All-around W., Track Team, Art League, Football Team. Oracle Staff. Boiler maker, heavyweight champion. Henry is ltsome pumpkins in our little world. He played on the football team. Now, Henry is really a ihathema- tieian, but the team needed a large llwhite hope that moved in one direction only and Henry filled that want. He also can run. In the All-around Wll eontest he distinguished himself by pounding and jabbing his way around the track 111 fast 1 time. Henry isnt going into the piano moving business; far from it; he 15 gomg to be a mathematician. He certainly has a good start, and once you get a fellow like Geenberg rolling, therels no stopping until hels there. In short, Henry Geenberg is to represent us at the University of Cincinnati in the capacity of mathematician. and let it be known that we surely do take pride in starting this gentleman rolling toward his goal. m9; M .-V$:A.- J. P. GERSTLE ! t 1 Art League, Athletic Association, Walking Club. Joe would make a very fine fisherman. He is so quiet that if you were to be left alone with him in a class room, you could hear the sun beating against the window panes. Gerstle resembles a safe, in that it takes a combination to open his mouth. The secret combination consists of one or both of the words automobile, or motoreyclefl Although Joe can never remember a chemical equa- tion, after once smelling a certain brand of gasoline, he can never forget the name and odor. Joe knows the make of any truck that passes, by hearing the stroke of the engine. He has great hopes of one day holding the steering wheel of one of the dust raisers. Then there will be a change in the speed records of the world. Joe would rather hunt bears in the wilds of Mount Lookout than converse with one of the fair sex. He is a real friend and will do anything honorable to help a sehoolmate; this ranges from giving good advice to selling you lunch checks. He may have played during his Freshman year, but he has worked hard this year, taking A and B grades together. He passed his first year at Walnut Hills colony: the building was then finished and called Hughes, so now he represents uthe redf' llthe white and the blue.

She is always ready for a good time, even with the dreadful Examsl' staring her in the face. We believe that Irene is a member of the tlI Should Worry Club. No one has ever seen her worrying about her lessons, but, instead, she is either giggling or talking about something good to eat. No one ever thought that this coy little maiden really could have received the little slip, known as a demerit, but alas! the kind Latin teacher presented this little gift to her, and the great calamity of it was that Irene was a Senior. If in the future she accomplishes all her undertakings with as little difficulty as she has her lessons, we are sure she will succeed. But, after all, her bright and sweet disposition will never be forgotten by her classmates. HELEN GATES Art League, Tennis Club. Has anyone ever heard of a tall, dark, brown-eyed girl, who talks as fast as a cyclone blows? Well, we have. Her name is Helen. That rapid lire of talk is the strongest characteristic in Helenls make-up. But: she has been re- minded of this failing for four years that we know of, and surely she must be tired of it. So let us attack another. She is bright in mathematics, but we fear she will never see daylight where spelling is concerned. It is of no consequence to Helen whether she spells a. word tKwitli a we or a nd, or any other letter, as long as it sounds right. Let us say, Slowly and softly, Helen is inclined to poetry. Remember that one about the Oyster Stew? That was a poem. But will she be called upon to write poetry in after life? We think not, and should a girl with a talent for cooking, confme it to her little bachelor kitchen? No. no! A thousand times, no! 53 PAISLEY B, HARWOOD ANNUAL Staff, Art League, Athletic Association, Oracle Staff. HThree three's and a two. two of each, hurry up! Nine centsJ worth, etc. This is an attempt to put into writing the refrain which Paisley has the extreme ' pleasure of hearing twice a day. We often wonder how he can endure it and always appear pleasant, but pleasant he is. In school he is a quiet, business-like fellow, but to hear him on the baseball held makes one lose the idea that he is so quiet all the time He is quite a runner and jumper, but, owing to illness, has been unable to show what he is capable of doing in the athletic line. Paisleyis specialty is physics, especially as applied to electricity He can talk of motors and dynamos and batteries and anything else pertaining to electricity until you begin to wonder how long Mr. Simon will hold his job with such a fellow around. He has done some excellent work, both for the ORACLE, in connection with School Activities, and the ANNUAL. an, Mertrire H w... . awmw-u-utn v . - ,. simwkwi'kw-tdrym .343, A -Nrm-nMi-uvw-uvire1 GEORGE W. HAUCK Oratorical Contest, Athletic Association. Art League. This is George, good-natured, ever happy George! Nothing- can worry nor excite him. He has no special ambition, although at intervals he shows signs of some day becoming a great mathematician, politician 01' minister. Almost any day he may be seen pushing a book cart around the Public Library which signifies that he desires to be near his beloved Hi books ieSpecialiy Solid Geometry and Latini. At recess, George tries to impart some of his kn0wledge to his classmates, but his wise saws are soon given to empty benches. You must give George credit for his nerve, for he is one of those who attacked Solid Geometry and entered the Oratorical Contest. Be the result success 01' failure, he has the courage to try again, and it is this spirit which gives the strength to all famous and pros- perous men. i f i P C. ig ' F ii I F F i' P t h uv-sw -v-- eb-hwv L mev - wI-o. rye.- a-v-g- . 54 'u'etu'x'vtrm. 1' n? -.

Her name mmr o'er my 607': like Hze stucct .rmmd of music Tlmtlbreathcs upon a bani: of violets, Stealing and giving odor. Behold Irene! the genius of the Class of llSl. Irene is one of those modest little maidens, who is seen but seldom heard. Being a brilliant student, she has little time to engage in frivolities and loud talking and getting demerits like the rest of us. In German, Irene is a pivot around which all of the talkative pupils swing to keep out Of temptation. Besides being a brilliant student, Irene is a finished pianist, and, while only a little Freshie. distinguished her class by win- ning the .lSpringer Gold Medal at the Cincinnati College of Music. We Seniors are lamenting the fact that Irene is partial to Freshies. for she indulges them to the uttermost with her own beautiful conlpositiona while we have to sit in class and hear the strains float teasingly by. We all know that after graduating Irene will continue her musical studies, and her host of lVOOdward friends send with her their best wishes for her future. NAOMI GROTHUS Art League, Naomi is tall and prim, but the lure of mischief is in her eyes. which proves She is ever ready to laugh and have a good time. She has a merry smile and pleasant word for her schoolmates at all times. She is an energetic worker, a generous and kind-hearted girl. She never flies around hunting lost articles, be- cause everything is in its place. If the teachers used their little books for nothing but demeriting pupils using the wrong staircase, and all were like Naomi, there would never be any use for said books. Every morning Naomi waits patiently for her friends to go over with her the Latin lessons for the day. She is undecided as to the future: but we all hope to hear of her success. 55 i 1 .- u- v 61 aw, may. . T: -w- ww-r- r wryww f 5 f; :5 'I' P? nvma. 5...... .- VVALTER H.

Three years of hard and tedious work have made Walter a member of the 1913 graduating class. His work of the past can be greatly commended in that he succeeded in passing into the Freshman year after skipping the last two grades of the elementary school. To graduate from high school in three years became his next ambition, and to that end he has made a grand success. JOHN HILBERG Athletic Association, Art League. You may travel and travel for many a mile, But T159? wtlI you find so wmn'mg a .tmilv.n Behold John. the boy with the beautiful blush. John was one of the stars C0 of the Chemistry class, and often surprised us with his wonderful discoveries of things heretofore unknown to science. Some day we expect John to revolutionize the meatepacking industry, and perhaps bring down the high cost of living. If you see a young man rushing through the corridors, with a business-like air, as if he really had something to do, know ye that is Hilberg, We shall always have a kind word to say for John, and shall remember him as one who in good nature and companionship was rich. He carries with him from Woodward our good will and best wishes for success. 56 ELSIE HAEFNER Art League. Swecmcm, truth and every grace Which time and we are wont to teach, The 2318 may in a moment reach And read distinctly in her face? Those who are well acquainted with Elsie kn0w her to be a lovely and pleasant companion. She is a studious girl, and astonishes us by her translations in German. Her voice is never heard ab0ve tiD, during that period, and it is impos- sible to believe she ever gave Dr. Gores any strenuous moments. Together with her good points, Elsie has a few failings, among which are chocolates, ice cream, and the like. It has been intimated that Elsie has expresed a desire to lead an orchestra just for the novelty. Herets wishing her great success. LOVELA HAGANS Glee Club, Art League, Athletic Association. W ithout a doubt, we shall miss the merry nod and cheerful presence of Lovela, while that fair miss is enjoying herself in a whirl of good times at Washington next year. Let us dwell just a minute on this maidenis most wonderful accom- plishment, that of swimming. When 'iLove comes swimming through the plunge ttis very like the Island Queenewater splashes far and wide. Never mind, though, about the Annette Kellerman part of it, Lovela can cook well enough to suit the king, and even had an offer at the Budget Exhibition because of this gracious art. Virgil, however, never did agree with this happy-go-lucky damsel from Hyde Park, and no amount of threats and warnings could help matters along. On several occasions, however, Lovela was prepared in Latin to render a beautiful translation, but, oh, miserabile diam, she wastft called on. Her willing- ness to help friends out of difhculties has saved Emmats life more than once. We forgot to mention that Emma and Lovela are inseparable, even at lunch; also that our friend is a granddaughter of Mr. Samuel Lewis, who did so much to make possible the school of Woodward. 57 afar .. p. 9:33.. - mv-ww wy m etn-wrzsh- t'I'W-f'v'tl hb 'hwt'WWVKWI-fx W'K ' wa-wamm i'rt-uw-e-nr db4s8M-u-v iith 'a - s -e-w-'u yew'wl-rl-shwh w l i t l 'H-U .5 iK S I u e. .--m -w-re. - -;i' W7 m-y-W'. ha. W et VVINFIELD SCOTT HAMMOND' Athletic Association, Art League. Some of Winfieldls hobbies are the motorcycle, athletics and the automobile. On any of these subjects he can engage in an intelligent argument. Ngthuig pleases him so well as skimming through space about forty miles per hour in his boat, as he calls his motorcycle. He is also fond of drawing LU nothing much. His school books are decorated with the highest examples of futurist art. In fact, anything which he lays hands upon is sure to have one or more of Winheldls deco- rations. He sits for hours tinkering with an old electric bell. He has always some kind of scheme, which, sad to say, usually fails to produce results. On the whole, Winfield is modest and straight as an arrow. His only weakness is for the opposite sex. LESTER HARTLEY Yon Hartley has a lean and hungry fookfl We may distort another quotation as we have done above and say, ilWhatls in an appearance? Hartley has the contour of a fence rail, yet the virtues of a, well, we might say, stout person. He is as j ovial as can be; he eats lunch in a manner not becoming an apparent dyspeptic, and always straggles into the home room just before tardy bell. Such characteristics are entirely at variance with his appearance. They can be explained by comparison with no other human being. If a fellow can have that attenuated look, the virtues of a fat man and success in endeavor, such as Lester has, truly he will be a man among men. 53 HELEN HANDMAN Art League. To know her is to Irma her, And love but her fare'zle:'.u Helen is a quiet, studious girl, the kind that will amount to something in the future. Although very quiet, when livened up she is very jolly. We do not get to see as much of her as we would like, because she takes only one study with us, and, therefore, leaves early every day; but the little we do see makes us wish that we might see more of her, and lends wings to our wish for her success in the future. RUTH M. HARTZELL Assistant Editor of The ANNUAL, Glee Club, Art League, Athletic Association. Her wary tune is muffs own, Like those of morning birds, And something more than melody Dwells ever in her words? Our little Assistant Editor has a sweet and lovable disposition. She is an excellent student and well liked by classmates and teachers. Ruth is quite a musician and a valuable member of the Glee Club. Besides her school work, she has taken an active part in affairs at the College of Music. However, she is fond of outdoor sports, especially horseback riding. Give her a good horse and a level stretch of road, and Ruth is in her element. She is very much interested in Zoology, and is a noted authority on llbugs. All in all, she is a girl of sterling qualities, and will always have the best wishes of the class in whatever she undertakes after leaving Woodward. 59 EUGENE HILL - .

This energetic and wide-awake girl makes her presence felt at school. In the drawing class Emma holds full sway with her pencil, and Mri Jones does the rest, except the signature. But this is rather hard on Emma, as she really can . make delicious fudge on Sunday nights. She is one of those happy individuals . who believe that life is too short to be spent in worrying over lessons, and so she is bound to find pleasure in everything. 'Her thoughtful air, which you have certainly noticed, is seen only when her thoughts are far away, on e, 01 more probably 011 the lunch she is going to have at recess. After following Aeneas in his wanderings for a whole year, she is surely worthy of her sheepskin.

Emilie is jolly, cheerful, and always happy over something. She is an all- around girl and takes active part in all matters. The Glee Club could hardly exist without her sweet, musical voice. The games would not be complete without her presence. And what courage she possesseseshe was actually not afraid of Solid Geometry. Her knowledge of German casts her less fortunate class- mates in the shadow. Poetry and music appeal to her greatly, as can be seen by her undivided attention to the orchestra and her attendance at the various musical affairs. And Emilie is somewhat of an orator. being one of the contestants in the Oratorical Contest. She has the good fortune of having many friends. With her dauntless spirit success can not fail her. 61 l a :4. N if H' llrl l V fr :6 i'- f. If! .! lg; g? r? '75 i f g! EDWARD L.

No, gentle reader and classmates, ytis not what you might imagine; but itls just naturally Kemp in one of his favorite soliloquies 0n farming. Kemp is the best farmer in his neighborhood, which happens to be Hartwell. Besides, Lawrence is lhome more footballer, having received his Wl' for his work. But there are two faults Which he possesses; one Of them is his shyness towards the fairer sex of our school. The other is his great memory. When the captain of the gridiron loaned him his football togs in September, Kemp succeeded in not forgetting to return them in February. But with all this, Kemp is a good scout. He has succeeded in acquiring a multitude of friends durino his high school career. His greatest delight is rooting for Woodward and seeingr her land on top. This Hartwell lad will surely be missed by most of us, and may he be blessed with success in any future career that he may enter. 62 ILSE HAU PT Art League, Athletic Association. Grace was in all her steps, wan in her eyes: In every gesture, dignity and law. The subject of this sketch is one of the youngest members of the Class of Nineteen Thirteen. Although of pure German descent, she is a Htrue American,H and a loyal one. Coming from a cultured and educated family, it is not surprising that she should possess such a charming personality and stand so high in her class. She certainly believes in the good Old adage, HVVllCn the day is gloomy, then bring your smiles into play and thereby drive the gloom away, She never carries an umbrella, because it interferes with her smiles, but she will carry someone else's books, thereby lightening her burden, and this she does in more ways than one. She is very fend Of reading, History especially. She is also talented in art. With her merry blue eyes and Sweet smile, she is, indeed. a genial companion and a loyal friend. JOANNA HILL Art League. nBetter late than never? would be the most suitable quotation for Joanna, who seems to have adopted this as her motto, for she has made a record at being tardy. Anna must be a descendant of the famous Mrs. Malaprop, for one day we heard her telling of the fun she had had at a grand HSocialist.u For her cooking Anna is famous; in English she is brilliant, and in Latiaisoh. well, who cares for Latin? During her four years at Woodward she has made many friends, and is quite a favorite. In the future, Joanna intends to be a Social Worker, and we hope she will some day be as famous as Miss Addams. 63 i EARLE KINCAID ANNUAL Staff. lKGraat oaks from little acorns grow. Earle isnlt very tall, but neither was Napoleon. He may be small, but you caift overlook him any more than you could have overlooked the HLittle Giant of France. Earle shines at the dances and has a mania for tall girls. He is going to make his mark in the world, and will always be a credit to the community in which he lives, as he has been to his school. HAROLD KINYON Art League, Athletic Association, Football Team, All-around Wf' Who is he? Whence comes he? Harold A. Kinyon is his name. The boy from Hornell, N.

Harold also is quite a musician, playing the melophone in the school orchestra. We look fai'ward t0 the time when Harold goes out into the world and accomplishes great t lugs. 54 ALICE HINNEKAMP Art League, Glee Club, Athletic Association .- afar -.. Alice is a brunette, with large lustrous brown eyes, and a low, melodious voice which is charming. Alicels ambition is to become an expert Domestic Science teacher. This can be easily achieved, as she has characteristics which will win the respect and love of all her pupils, besides an enormous knowledge of Chemistry pertaining to the analysis of food. Although she is not very lively in SChOOl, this does not hold true when she is outside of the llRoyal Domainf, Our Charming school friend has her hobby-music-which she pursues with the same determination as that with which she does her lessons. l 2 J t f I? w; '.

The height of Margarefs ambition is to become a nurse, and we all hope that her ambition will be realized. She is just the girl for such an occupation, because she has the power to soothe and comfort with 1161' soft. crentle voice. and to express sincere sympathy out of the fullness of her heart. Margarat never shirks her duty, always doing her share of the work asiwell as she can, and never grumbling about her lot.

He sometimes stays two hours after school to become more efficient in that beloved subject. He also dotes on Chemistry, although at times he abseut-mindedly blmvs out his burner and lets the gas meter buzz uselessly on. Outside of this temple of learning, Gus is even more active. He fiddles the fiddle, operates a wireless outht of his own con- triving, and is a general terror in the mechanical line. All levity aside, though, Gus is a fine fellow, always ready to answer the S.

He is very fond of A Grade English. He is the only boy in a whole class of girls. Bill is right there'i whenever there is a dance. He has shown great ingenuity in inventing various schemes for extracting Art League dues from the members of that organization. He is one of Dr. Gores, favorites, too. Summing it all up: 1i .5 x i l. l e. Bill is a dandy fellow You can say just what You will. The only thing about him is That he lives in Cumminsville. 66 INEZ HUGHES Art League, Tennis Club, ANNUAL Staff. May happiness attend you, May peace be your end. Arcept these kind wishes From u true Woodward friend? This is Inez, who fairly enchants you with her laughng eyes, dark brown hair and quiet disposition, so that you wish to become her friend at once. She is a general favorite. because of her charming disposition. Inez shines in Domestic Science and could win the heart of anyone with the delicious dishes she cooks She is also fond of athletics and Outdoor exercises, and is considered a German trstar. Inez is charming in blue, her color; it means tttrue, and we feel we can trust her, as she is a true Woodward girl. Take with you, Inez, our best wishes on your lifeis journey. ANNA I. HUHEEY Art League. ANNUAL StaFf, Athletiq Assouiation. I 0.91? 110: tclmith, but rower to take Ami me the things I have might. Not years, but the wfxdam that shall maize My life a prorif and delight. Yes, this is Anna, our quiet, modest, Batavia girl. Someone has said She is quiet, but donit be surprised to learn that Anna is not as quiet as she looks. If all reports are true, she has one great fault. Can you guess? It's her love for parties. She is always just coming from or iigoing to One. She would rather attend a party than eat, although we all know she is an artist in Domestic Science. If the way to a maifs heart is through his stomach, then Anna is sure to win. 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 appreciation in a more effective way than words. 67 i wew uvr-Wm V. x W am . ,, 1, . ALLEN LINDSLEY ANNUAL Staff, Business Manager of The Grade, Athletic Association, Art League. Allen is known throughout the school for his sunny disposition. He is always happy, and has a good word for everybody; and once you gain his coniidence, you will have a true friend and a jolly companion, who will stand by you. There are probably two great weaknesses in Lindsleyis make-up, one of which is Solid, which he just loves U0; the other one is his liking for walking home from ilher house in College Hill at three olclock in the morning. As Business Manager of the ORACLE, he has proveu his splendid business ability by obtaining unnumbered advertisements for that paper. In whatever Allen undertakes after leaving school we heartily wish him the greatest success. CARL MAIENCHEIN Baseball Team, Athletic Association, Art League. liMooney, as we have always known him, is one of the illustrious person- ages of our class. Recently Carl has taken an added interest in athletics, Which, combined with his previous knowledge of baseball. has helped him to be selected as Manager of our team. He has worked hard these four years, has made a record in his studies, and has been very popular. His genial disposition and his ambition will always be remembered by those with whom he has been daily asso- ciated. Success to you, iiMooney? 68 ESTHER HUNT Art League, Athletic Association. 'tThe faults you find, you overlmk, Her smiles cxruse them all. Esther is very small, of the Freshman type-short and sweet. But we must say that she is smalI only in stature, being very large in her dealings with you. This Winsome young lady hails from that some place, called Valley Junction-and does not feel a proper portion of shame for such a failing. Esther is an active member of the uI Should Worry Club. She can make you smile, no matter how sad you are, and her mere presence is a sure cure for the blues. This same tot is very entertainino; especially is this true in the drawing class, when Esther amuses us by rendering her favorite violin selections on the T square HELEN HUNT Art League, Glee Club, Tennis Club. Heletfs jolly good nature is to be envied. Neither jokes about your name nor demerits, hurled at her without mercy, have a tendency to rufHe her disposition. She may rightfully be called a member of the I Should Worry Club. Her generosity has helped many a classmate in distress, and the Latin class has appre- ciated her many amusing translations. Full of life and looking for excitement, she has chosen a very appropriate vocation, namely, that of Stenographer and Bookkeeper in a broker's oHice. The greatest success is the wish of the Class Of 1913 for her. 69 HYMAN MARKOWSKY Athletic Assodation, Art League. Walking Club If modesty has anything to do With a mants success, surely Mathie will come out a millionaire. When the author of this short biography asked 111m to tell all -- 0f the nice things about himself, the answer was, uI can not sing my own praises; write the best you know about me.H Rather romantic for a man like Ma-rkle. Hyman is everybodyls friend, always being willing to help thOSe m trouble; 1,. 2., borrow their Chem or lend them his Algebra. Hyman is a great chemist and dotes ! on such books as the flAnalysis of the H2 P4 820 HT etc. If youire ever in hard luck, or are called down by your teacher, or lose your Chem or Solid book, i just see Markie and things will surely turn out differently, usually for the best. Would there were more like him; W ILLIAM MAYER Athletic Association, Art League. Will is one of the veterans of the old Woodward Guard, which organization will live long in the hearts of former Woodward students. Most of his after- noons have been spent refereeing basket ball games, where he has no superior ta, his decisions never being questioned LU. Up to his Senior year he was con- stantly identified with one of our former classmates, Neff, but since the withdrawal . ,i of this latter gentleman. he has been in every way associated with Mooney, from the purloiuing of chemistry notes to the taking of overdoses of ice cream in the lunch room. Nevertheless, he has settled down to hard work in his Senior year, which results plainly show. Good influence, that Mooney, nicht wahi'? Bill Mayer has proved to us that he can make good and that he will; so herels luck to him. 70 LILA INGRAM Art League. Here's our old friend, Lila. She shows that she has ability when she wishes to exert herself, so we shall expect great things of her. She expects to go to the U. of C, and later to specialize in music, in order that she may he a music teacher. Lila is jolly and always has a smile for everyone. She is a great joker and her greatest hobby is teasing one in a friendly manner. She is studious, sometimes, energetic, and always in a hurry To see her coming down the halls one would think a whirlwind had been turned loose. XVe hope that this energy will help her to achieve success, and we send her forth with many a hearty wish for a happy future BESSIE JONES Art League. r'She reasoned without plodding long, Nor 2110' gave lwr judgment! wrong, Bessie is one of 0111' quiet, studious girls. She is a girl who never knows any of her lessons outside of recitations, hut in class she knows everything. Bessie is very particular in Domestic Science; she scours the bottom of the clishpan with her hands to keep the dish Cloth from becoming soiled. She is also very careful to see that all cooking utensils are thoroughly sterilized before she attempts to cook in them. 111 the future Bessie hopes to be a physician. and her bright sunny disposition will do as much good as her pills and powders. We shall always remember Bessie 215 a quiet and very industrious girl, who never complains about anything and is always trying to help someone. 71 'f .r .5: 3 2:5 w JULIAN MAYNARD ANNUAL Staff, Walking Club, Athletic Association, Art League: HH12 1': a young man of boundless kimwledge. What would the Senior class do without Maynard, the famous Spanish star food consumer and long distance walker? Julian actually walked seventy- Eve UEU miles one day, and then declared he was not the least fatigued. This is nothing compared with what he does in the lunch room, where he consumes enough food at a single meal to satisfy half a dezen hungry boys. However. Maynard is a very serious student and one that is liked both by the faculty mid classmates. When we inform the students of the O. M. I. that next year he Will be one of them we shall do so with congratulations. CHARLES MEISTER ANNUAL Staff, Oratorical Contest. 5'Cha1-liei5 is of Hughes variety, and. therefore, we must excuse his faults and take him as he is. Meister likes to project his chest. speak in a deep voice, and make you think he is a regular 55big man? Despite this, his accomplishments easily outweigh his faults. Charlie55 has gained immense popularity in his one year at Woodward, his taking ways having made him a favorite with the fair sex. He intends to be a manual training teacheia and we sincerely believe that in a very short period he will hold a responsible position in that line. 72 CORINNE JONES Art League. Her love made all thing: lovely, For m the heart must live The feeling that impart: the charm, ll? gain by what we git'e. Corinne is one of those girls whom you would want for a friend, she is so dependable. Once your friend, she is always your friend. She is a very fluent talker LU and can converse intelligently with anyone. Corinne always has a great dread that something will happen to destroy her plans, but her strong will and determination to succeed counterbalance this peculiar trait. Although a bright student in school, her love and talent are for music. Corinne. we wiSh you good luck and great success in the future. miiwwsf leaek u.,, JENNIE KAPLAN Art League.

Listen, and I'll tell you a secret: she actually likes Latin: no, she loves it. Jennie cloesrft even know what that dreadful little beast. called a llpony, looks like, nor will she ever need to be- come acquainted with it. But the Latin class isn't the only place where she excels. Throughout her entire course she has been the solace of many a tormented teacherls heart, and she has also been the merciful savior Of many a trembling Victim when she answered the question at precisely the right moment. She is studious, industrious. and ever willing to lend a helping hand to one in distress. She has great plans for the future, and we sincerely hope, if she doesn't take our civics teacher's advice, to hear of her in the days to come. She is very retiring, and it is with some cliffzculty that one may break through the wall of her reserve. but once within we find a delightful disposition and a charming per- sonality. Truly, we are glad to have known you, Jennie, and to have had you with us. gush 4.. -s..l A --. u. ta. Lu. l w 73 ALBERT B. NEWBIGGING , Athletic Association, Art League, Allsaround W.

Unlike Orpheus, who made the wild animals hush and listen to his sweet strains. this one makes tame animals sit and howl for pure joy Oil by simply rendering this ancient piece. In the German class Albert has the rear seat, which he holds as a trophy.

PHILIP OlDONNEL t'Laugh, arid the world laughs with 31011. OlDonuel may rightly be called the HBrand from the Burning, having come only this year from Walnut Hills. They certainly must teach some Latin up there, because Phil is the star of the Latin class. being always ready to recite C0. We have a suspicion that he has been more interested lately in Latin. for his teacher has been able to find four lines that he knows. He is also an entertainer and general comedian. The Latin hell would he a dull period without him to make us laugh. We hear that he is quite as brilliant in compositon. Cheer up. Phil, lessons are not everything and a smile can do more than a whole book of Virgil. We heartily wish you success. Phil, and believe that you will accomplish whatever you set out to do.

Evidently Grace does not agree with Goldsmith when he says that llThe loud laugh displays a vacant mindf for her laugh means something and always warns us of her approach. But for all her nonsense; she has kept on the usafe side of the fence in her studies and has surprised us with her high English marks in the examinations. She also is fond of athletics anrl attends nearly all the games. She is greatly interested in Domestic Science. and often turns out wonderful dishes CU. But she abhors washing plates and pans. Grace has beautiful, rosy cheeks and a qucenly air that we all envy. We are all interested in her and are sure that her good nature will make her a favorite wherever she may go. LILLIAN KISKER Art League. Glee Club. Here is Lillian Kisker, a charming little lady, but her tiny self is in contrast to her big, generous heart. Her gray eyes show earnestness. She has a happy clis- positlon, and is a genial companion at all times. She is lovable, because she is always cheerful. as well as interesting. The man who succeeds in securing her heart and hand need not worry for something to eat, for this little miss is an adept in Domestic Science. She is a stanch and true friend, and will be your friend in every adversity. H, FRED OEHLSCHLAEGER Athletic Association, Art League, ANNUAL Staff, Walking Club. Oehlschlaeger, as his name indicates, is not Irish. No! Fritz's, alias Pete's specialty, is that of a German comedian. When Fritz is not laughing, he is genv erally planning some joke. When he is not thinking up some joke, he is playing one. and so it goes. Fritz is very graceful, as is shown by the manner in which he did that tripping on his light fantastic toe in the grizzly bear fashion at the A-B dance. Outside of this, Fritz is all right, for he is an enthusiastic chemist and carries off the palm in both Latin and Spanish. One thing will always remain a mystery to his classmates, and that is, Why he sings a pretty little song, entitled thlicc. Where Art Thou? RALPH OTTENIOHN Ralplfs quiet, unassuming, optimistic ways have won him his many friends. He is our chauffeur, and well posted on every part of the construction of that wonderful mechanism, the auto. Besides this, he has the power of understanding Solid Geometry and Advanced Math. But his favorite study is Composition LU. We are glad to have known him and wish him all success. JUSTINE KRUEGER Art League, Athletic Association. If you seek for haf'jinexs, you will find it in making other? happy. The above is Justine's motto, her smiling face revealing a sunny disposition. Her gentle ways have made her a host of friends. Jussy hails from Price Hill. In cold and slippery weather she has some lively times reaching school, but one must admit that she is nearly always the first pupil to enter the portals of Woodv ward every nwrning. When clear old Price Hill is all covered with snow and ice, Jus is compelled to look for some conveyance to take her to the bottom of the hill. It has been said that she sits in an old dishpan and slides swiftly down to the car line below. Be that as it may. she reaches the bottom of the hill and gets to Woodward in good time May all the slides she takes in life end as for- tunately. ELSIE KUHN Art League, Glee Club If ever there was a girl who could be considered lltrue blue, that girl is Elsie. No matter whether it is for work or for a good time, She can be counted on. She always carries on a good conversation, no matetr on What subject you may choose, and in History, well, in History, somehow, all the high marks seem to come her way. The two years in which she attended Kll'ooclwarcl have been put to good advantage, not only in gaining knowledge, but in making many friends. She knows how to work the teachers, by serving them good lunches in the lunch room. Her friends have always been glad to have Elsie included in their gathering, and wherever she may go on leaving her Alma Mater, we wish her the best of success, which she certainly deserves. 77 JULIAN FERRIS PENN Baseball Team, All-around HW. He is a wise man who speaks lime.n Julian can not be classed among those whom you can hear befot'e you see themi He appears from his obscurity only when called upon, and yet 1118 quIet, re- served manner commands nothing but respect. Even in Athletics he never tries to show his ability unless he is asked. Julian is ambitions to become a professtonal baseball pitcher. He may reach his goal more quickly if he will only show what he can do. We are certain he will achieve success, for he has the ability. W ALT ER PETERS Art League, Walking Club. Everybody salute Peters, llThe Chocolate Soldier?l We must say that Peters has a sweet tooth. Petersi motto is, gIf you have anything to say, say itfl Some of Peters, best liked studies are Solid and Comp. He tried Comp. and liked it 50 well that he decided to quit it. It is too had that we could not interest him in athletics, but it seems that he is not inclined in that direction. At first he did not mingle with the other fellows and was a quiet. unassuming young fellow, but he must have outgrown that, for he now is one of the jolliest of the lot. The only thing we have against him is that he hails from Price Hill, but we sincerely wish for him success in all his undertakings. 78 MILDRED LE CLERE Art League, Athletic Association. Her eyes were bright and merry, She danred in the Spanish whirl. She foala the world in in .cmrshl'na, For the was u blithesamc girl? Mildred is sweet and demure, but very brilliant in her studies, especially in History. You would think her a personal friend to Jefferson. Webster. Clay, and some more of these great men. Besides these accomplislnuents, Mildred can dance. She glides over the Floor with such ease that you would surely think that she has wings on her feet. We shall have to confess. though, that Mildred is mischievous: it has been said that she has been threatened with a clemerit for not being able to suppress that laugh which is always irrepressible and infectious.

He starred in all of the basket ball games, was our best player in making necessary touchdowns. was a good track man, and captain of the baseball team, and secured his All-around lVf: Truly, this lad has made a wonderful record in athletics and will be missed next year. But Ralph3s good work has not been entirely along athletic lines: he is also a social gentleman and attends all of the dances and receptions that are given. He has been one of the best athletes Woodward ever had and has certaintly earned glory for the school. We wish you success, Ralph, in whatever vocation you choose to interest yourself. CHARLES SHELLEY Oracle Staff. Art League, Athletic Association A person would not think that a small fellow like Shelley could be 50 con- spicuous. Charlie is the originator of a few famous things, to-wit, that groan which he emits every time he goes to Spanish, and the idea that all VVood- ward students ought to wear belt buckles with ll'oodward etched upon them. He sold them at Fifty cents apiece, and for about two weeks afterward spent about twenty cents each day in the lunch room. He also showed his liberality by sug- gesting a donation of fifty dollars to the flood sufferers. Charlie is a great Chum and has a great circle of friends, who wish him success, and who feel assured that in whatever line he becomes interested he will distinguish himself. 80 HELEN LUSBY Art League, Athletic Association. True ax steel? When we say this we naturally mean Helen, for a truer, more loyal friend could maver be found. Her strong point is Math, and we expect to see her some day mysteriously waving a compasa about and frightening the wits out of some poor little Sophs. But she isnit one of those people with only one invulnerable spot; instead, she succeeds in everything she attempts, Helen has a sense of humor, which is one of her most envied possessions. Her smile has a charm that is irresistible and positively contagious. This makes her a very jolly companion. and when one is blue she has that rare faculty of knowing just how to cheer them up with her presence. JEANNETTE MAFFEY Art League, Glee Club. Her voice has been our pride. Jeannettefs gentle disposition and quiet ways have won the favor of her classmates. She has many friends, because she has a smile and a pleasant word for everyone. Her beautiful voice, which will some day win her fame, has been the pride of VVoodwai-d. and especially of the class of 1913. Vth she leaves W'OOClward and her friends, to take up her future career. our fondest wishes for success will go with her. 81 $4. $5.. w.'-.v.. i a i 7 J !

Wherever Sachs is. you are assured of an entertslnmg i1me. It is not only in this that he excels; a better student and a more loglcal thinker would be difficult to find. Hyman is not an angel, but, like the rest of us, he has a bad habit of accumulating demerits. A rosy future awaits him, nevertheless, and we speed him into it with our good Wishes. SAMUEL SCHAENGOLD Art League, Athletic Association, ANNUAL StaFf. Sam, 0r iiDoc, as he is sometimes called, is so small that it is necessary to 100k twice to see him. But valuable articles come in small packages, and Sam is certainly a good sample. He is liked by everyone. Sam has one great fault, and that is his indulgent study of German. He is a Kistar LU in this subject. Class Historian is an appropriate office for Sam, and he should be commended for his good work. Nicely done, Sam. If you ever want to hnrl him in a hurry, just call up the Cincinnati Gym. He spends a large portion of his spare time there, and has become an expert at p001 and billiards. Sam is very energetic and is nearly always seen hustling around doing something. Sam must make his mark in the world, for we, his Classmates, certainly are expecting him to do so. 82 HELEN MAN N Art League. 'tOh, Hefen, how beyond compare, 171 make a garland of thy hair, Shall bind my heart forever there Until the day I die. Yes. this little blonde is Helen. Some may think that she is very quiet, but they are not well acquainted with her. When among her frienda Helen is the chief fun maker, but sometimes the teacher asks, tWVhO is the quiet young lady in the rear? Miss Mann, let us hear from you. Helen is loved by all, and we wish her great success in her future life, Whatever it may be, although we recall her favorite expression, HI live for the present, not the future. MYRTLE MARTIN Art League, Tennis Club, Athletic Association. Myrtle, the Peaceful One. Ever ready to welcome the stranger and bestow a smile on the friend. Her favorite expression is Honey DUELH We confess that she likes honeyeboth kinds. Her favvrite sport is tennis; some day she may be a star player. She is always ready to have a good time in a quiet way, ever ready to enjoy a good joke and to tell one. Myrtle does not believe in woman suffrage. As an anti-suffragist, she will be an ideal home maker, content to pre- side over the fireside. May health, wealth and happiness attend her. 83 HARRY SEGAL Harry is one of those chaps that are always in demand. No matter what is going on 01' what is prophesied to come, there is at 2111 times a 11ece551ty Ifor Harryts being there. No doubt his being an excellent student and an effluent talker and friend-maker is the real cause for his always being needed. Let us hope that this popularity in the future will bring him any amount of success. HOWARD SHAFER d, t 3' '3 3 t J a' 1 Art League, Athletic Association. .2- Howard is one of those quiet fellmvs of whom we hear littie, but that little is very good. He has not much to say, as a rule, and he never mingles with that bunch of fellows who are continually playing jokes on the teachers; but he can appre- ciate a good joke; and sometimes his merry, laughing QOtmtenance almost obtains for him a demerit. Howard is a hard worker. who certainly deserves a great reward. and we hope that he may receive his full share after leaving Woodward. He has gained a host of friends by his pleasant disposition, and will, we feel sure, gain many more after leaving school. rl-oJVbKM usaxfh ' 4.5: ioLvA-m.l;g,-L.A,w M Au. . 4i. - :Luuu-n 5.4!.1'N: 84 .f .1! .

Then she will take her place at the desk and say, 'tChildrtm, I am sorry, but I have lost your examination papers which you wrote last week. You will have to answer a new list. After many such experiences, she may become an ideal teacher, and have for her motto, HI never lose anything We certainly hope that she will never lose her heart unless she exchanges it for another just as good. Anyway, she can never lose the love and gOod wishes of her class- mates. MILDRED MILLER Art League. r'Mucht ado about nothing? Stop a minute and rest your fatigued optics on a sample of Woodward's daintiest femininity. We have been well aware of her presence, from the day she hrst made an appearance here, and the school would be rewarded if it should install 3 Victor Victrola to make some records. a la Miss Miller, to ward off gloom in the future.

Ilfusic was her greatest talent, By line from she loved to play, Ami with chords of wondrous sweetness AH our grief she drove away. This is our violinist. No, she doesn't play second, she plays First. She is the concertmeister of our school. Those boys who left the orchestra in order that they might not have to play in the same organization with girls, certainly clout realize how much they miss by not being able to play with Lucille. However, she is not only master of the violin, but also a pianist at school and 2m organist at church. Although Lucille appears quiet at times, those who have frequented the ball games know that she is a regular attendant at these and is one of the best rootersi Her school spirit is never asleep. l-Ier cheers for our players could be heard for squares, and have helped cam many a victory. French is Lucillekz favorite subject, and in this she is brilliant; but it is rumored that in History she is a star GU.

LUCILLE MONTGOMERY Art League. Yes, Lucille is really a graduate, although she looks as if she might have just flnished intermediate school. But she has the Senior qualities. if she does hide them under her youth. Lucille speaks just what she thinks. However, she never thinks before she speaks, consequently it is impossible to become angry with her. As to lessons, Astronomy is her Waterloo. She is so anxious about it that she never takes time to eat her lunch; every spare moment she spends crying over Astronomy. When there is a pretty clear night, Lucille never goes to bed, so busy is she studying the stars. We hope that this perseverance will follow her through Iife and insure her success in all she undertakes i aleiaLM J. 87 JuhPC-va-Ar kin euku L... ,K-e- JLQ.

EARL TENNISON Athletic A550ciation, Art League, Baseball Team, Oratorical Contest. Tennison is famous for his blush and his height, The former appears when he is reproved by some iihorridii teacher, but more often when he is praised by some iinice', teacher. He has made up for his height in courage and deter- mination. His courage was displayed by his entering the Oratorical Contest and attacking Solid Geometry, etc. He is usually very prompt in coming to class, except when he meets a certain someone on his way there, which happens not seldom; but then we all have our weaknesses. We all appreciate his good nature and expect him to rise in the world, for does he not hear the title, Earl?', 88 JENNIE MORELAND Art League, Glee Club, Athletic Association. Hers was the gram: of nwrion and of 100er Jennie is quiet at times, but we who know her best recognize in her a jolly companion and an llall-around good fellow. Her realm is in the Gym. She is the star of the class when it concerns work involving gymnastics of any kind. When it is center ball, we all want her on cur side: when it is apparatus work, we admire her strength and grace. We believe she is quite fond of Latin l3. She is to become 3 Gym teacher, ,tis said. We feel sure that with her determination she can never fail in accomplishing anything she might attempt. ADA JULIA MORLOCK She is a. maiden, full simple and ray. Ada appeared as a stranger in our midst, coming from the Murray F. Tuley High School, Chicago, as a Junior. If it is possible to be too good we would have an excellent example in Ada. She is perfect in her lessons and few can boast of higher grades. She studies her Civics lessons faithfully each week, but doesnlt volunteer to recite on account of her bashfulness. Ada never thinks of herself, and she is always ready to do someone a good turn. She is quite a pianist, but seldom displays her talent. Next year she expects to take up a course at the Conserva- tory of Music, and we wish her all the succesa possible. Here's hoping that she may never return to Chicago. 89 - l U.. .q ......a.e:s-....

Here we have a real live wire. Paul's middle name is Activity. He is always on the jump. This characteristic was of great advantage to hnn in Indoor Baseball, where he was a star third baseman. Perhaps this is how he earned the name itBiffjl by which he is called. Paul showed himself quite a debater in elocn- tion, and his essay in the Oratorical Contest was fine. But his chief talent 15 music. In the Junior year we went to the auditorium only to listen to the orchestra under his direction, and this year he has given us many a pleasant afternoon at the basket ball games with his independent group of musicians. Some day we expect to see Paul leading a big symphony orchestra, and we are sure that if he does as well in the future as he has done here at Woodward, he will make a glorious success of his life.

What fun lies in her eyes! This quiet, demure, little maid. She always has something to say, is a true friend, and is much loved by her associates. She is fond of her studies, especially American History UL and rather partial to Domestic Science, especially in the line of bread, cakes and pastry. Elizabeth always Sifts the hour twice. and usually once more, to be sure that it is all right. She looks quite charming in her white apron while at work. Elizabeth expects to continue her studies at the University of Cincinnati, that is, if her knowledge of Domestic Science does not lead her in another direction. We know that she will succeed in whatever career she enters upon. STELLA GRACE MURPHY Art League. Although Stella, our Mount Aubumite. is and always appears quiet and bashful in class, she is full of fun after you are acquainted with her. She can never be heard along the school halls, as she never has much to say; but she can always be noticed by her dimples, caused by ripples of laughter. She simply revels m in gymnastic work, especially when she can play a two-stcp In the library, Stella never neglects to look up her History references. but would prefer to sit at the piano keys, playing the popular airs.

Paul is quiet and peaceable, and has ever been known as a quiet fellows He has always been a good friend with everyone with whom he becomes acquainted, especially if that individual be a maiden. He is jolly, but his jokes are not bOlStCr- 0115 but quiet, given in a way characteristic of him. During the four years he has been in Woodward, few demerits have come his way. which, needless to say, IS llgoing some. Paul is obliging and self-sacrihcing to his friends. He has entered earnestly into the school activities, showing the right spirit and doing all that every good fellow should do to promote the honor and glory of old Woodward. May his Alma Mater ever be proud of him. WILLIAM WITTICH Athletic Association, Art League. William's motto is, iiSilence is golden. Hardly would we know that he was among us but for his astoundingly perfect recitations every now and then. He doesn't display his knewledge, but is ever ready to help any who come to him. Just what he has chosen as his career we do not know, but we wonder whether it will be that of a professor. chemist or engineer. He takes with him our best wishes for success in whatever line of work he may follow. 92 WILLA LILLIAN MURRAY Art League Representative. Behold our eloeution star! One wonders when he hears this diminutive person delivering her ardent suffrage speeches. She thinks that women are really superior to most men and should have at least equal rights. Her forcible orations would convert almost anyone to the cause when Lillian points out to them the harm adulterated food is doing the nation. She even disclaims to eat in the WOOLL ward lunch room, because of the impure spaghetti and veal pie forced upon helpless Scholars byithis corrupt government of men. Lillianls highest ambition is to be- come a social worker, and after leaving the University of Cincinnati she will pursue a course of training to that end. We hope that when women are given the franchise Lillian will be among the first to hold a high office. MARGUERITE MCDANIEL Art League, Athletic Association.

This is modest, little Marguerite, with a smile ever lingering on her counte- nance, ever beaming from her eyes. Sweet as the flowers that grow, She carries sunshine wherever she goes. She is always ready to put aside what she is doing to help someone else. All who know Marguerite can truthfully say that she is a true friend, ever trying to make people around her happy, and never failing in her mission. Her one great aim in life is to become a good home maker, and we know that she will certainly succeed. During her four years at VVUOLlward she has made many friends.

If you hear a sound like a steam roller approaching you, know it is Werf. Elmer passes his time in playing such a harmless game as football, and to this end held down the position of tackle on our football team where he was some nbear? As the 'liei'psichorean art does not appeal to him, Elmer never indulges in our social gatherings. He has won fame tackling Solid and handing out 'ispaghetti and mash in the lunch room. He hails from down the river, Sedamsville, to be sure, and this we find just a little hard to forgive. Nevertheless, Werfelman is a line fellow and a true friend. and not One Of us but regrets parting from him. So long, VVei'f. FRANK VVERSEL Art League. A fiaming torch to light us on our way!i This quotation does not apply to the hair of our friend, but to his cheerful dis- position. Frank, alias Red, is a very quiet chap, and speaks only when spoken to, sometimes. He is a good friend, and is well liked by all those who know him on account of the good, natural way in which he does things. Frank could not become angry if he tried. His specialty is coming late to classes, particularly to the Spanish class. He has our wishes for a brightraud happy future. and ou-r hopes that his nature may never change. 94 m.ta 54?.

But being able to talk to the point is not the only one of Amelia's good qualities. She is a jolly comrade, and, although she has attended XVoodward only this year, she has made many friends. She is an excellent student, but she declares she is getting tired of school work. It is her ambition to help others, and we know that she will bring sun- shine into many cheerless lives it she remains her bright, jolly self. Of course, Amelia has her faults. One is that she would like to be the llfirst woman Presie dent . However, her faults are completely overshadowed by her virtues. Let us hope that her life will be happy and useful. IRMA NASH Art League Surely. you have noticed Irmals brown eyes. One glance, accompanied by one of her ever-ready smiles. will captivate the most confirmed woman hater. Irma has a cute little giggle. too, which often leads her into trouble. And her wit! You must have noticed this, too, for we all have suffered from it. And the way she leads Dr. Gates into telling fairy stories is quite a joke with the first bell German class. All the teachers get their demerit hooks ready when they see her coming. But all the same, she is a jolly companiOH. Only the bright Side of life appeals to her. May it ever be so, Irma. 95 KATIE NEU Art League. Before you become acquainted with Katie you think her very sober, but after you know hen you find her quite the opposite. She is of a Jolly, egood-natured dis- position. When Katie was in the B Grade she ate only a little chocolate for lunch, but since she has been studying dietetics in Domestic Science she finds that it is necessary to eat a sandwich. Katie is an excellent cook; her specmlty- is making whole wheat bread from Graham Hour. She is a loyal Woodwardite, having provcn 1t when she refused in Sundaysschool to wear a red button.

Indeed, she was the star of the class on Vanity Day. She, also, is quite noted for the little giggle which occasionally ripples forth in the German class. Marie is one of the sweetest, best-natured girls in the class. She is an excellent dancer and charming companion. 96 SUSAN NICHOLSON Art League, Athletic Association. iii girl so meek Can scarre be found If we should 3rd: 01: every ground. 1 Susan, known best as llSueC is a girl of deep thought and meditation; in other words, 2m 11 Pensei'osor At times she is so quiet that many of her friends think she is practicing that repose suggested by one of the Teachers. Nevertheless, her quiet disposition does not bar her from a large circle of friends, whom She has gained during her four years in high school She is llsome serious girl. Sue is a star in Chemistry. How those test tubes do break when they are in her possession. We can not help feeling sorry for the one who will try to keep her supplied with dishes when she gets to housekeeping. But, never mind, she is improving wonderfully. and just remember that she is a nl'stuclass cook, ALICE ELIZABETH OEHLER Art League, Athletic Association. Alice has the reputation of being quiet. but once you know her she proves to be exceedingly lively and Witty. We have all laughed at her funny sayings, as, for example. uGrief comes in hunksllj Every noon Alice can be seen running around, trying to get her History at the last minute The gymnasium is where Alice shines, and swimming! she can actually swim with two arms and one foot. She is a good cook, and is thinking of becoming 3 Domestic Science teacher. However, we imagine someone else will have something to say about that. Did you ever hear Alice,s little whistle in the hall at noon? One day a little boy tried to imitate it but failed miserably. All joking aside, Alice is one nice littlegirlji and we certainly wish her success in whatever she undertakes. whether showing girls how to make rolls. or making them herself for someonels breakfast. 97 FLORENCE PERIN Art League, Athletic Association. Hail, chet maiden, tall and fair. Florence isnlt afraid of anybody. She will even stand up before a teacher and say just what she thinks. She is from the country, but there's nothing green about her. She towers above us like a mountain, and we have to. look up when we speak to her. Florence can sing beautifully. We all have heard her, ahd png- nounce her voice heavenly UL She is very bright in her sttldiesi espeCIally in History. and we all breathe a sigh of relief when she gets up to recite, for we know that she will not stop until the whole lessmi is told. LOUISE PRESSLER Art League. Tennis Club, Here is our friend, Louisceone of our acquaintances who are more often seen than heard, but who. nevertheless, take an active part in the school work and devote themselves dutifully thereto. A111, too. like many others she has her studious spells, if such they may be called, when she is quite serious and devotes every minute to the lesson which she is preparing. But through it all she main- tains a cheerful mood. She is not, however, occupied at all times. in this manner. Oh, no! She spends most of her time having a jolly. good time. There are many things that happen at school to laugh and giggle about, and Louise is always on deck to do it. One of her chief characteristics is relating stories of the most Hkilling nature, as she puts it. Another of her characteristics is the fact that she detests slang in every form. But What are those gentle little phrases she uses so Often and those very endearing pet names, by which she calls her friends? Just the same we like her, and it will not be easy for us to forget hen 98 PAULINE PRICE Athletic Aswciation, Art League.

In German, which is Pauline's specialty, she is well liked by the teacher. who reserves 3 front seat for her among his favorites. Paulineis laugh is a faint chuckle. irresistible and delightful. She is quite a favorite with the sterner sex. and is very seldom seen on her way home alone. She is always ready to give help, but more willing to receive it. H'e can hardly think of Pauline taking life seriously. but she may change as all things human change? but we hope she may never lose One whit Of her brightness. WILLA PROTHRO Art League. Gentle. timid Willa. came to Woodward High School in the year 1909. Her quiet and reserved liiauner indicated to those who knew her the truth of the old adage, iiStill water runs deep? She has not said much to us and has not given us an opportunity to learn much about her. but we know that behind that fore- head a fertile brain is working. Although a star pupil. Willa is quiet and unassum- ing. While we are attempting to tell what we know. she forges far ahead of us. We may find her playing the role of Domestic Science teacher some day, as she contemplates taking up this study. She takes with her the best wishes of all who have the good fortune to know her. MAUD RAGAN Art League. The most precious things come in small packagesf'l Quiet as Maud appears in class, that is but one quality of a most attractive personality, one trustworthy in friendship, strong. reliant and Sincere. We haye not known her long, for she has been with us only one year. She is something of a Marathon runner. which may be proved when she runs after her friends, who have had five or ten minutes start of her. We expect to hear of her as a schoolma'am some day, as that is her ambition, In all probability she will con: time her studies at the U. C. next year, and we all wish her great success. FRANCES ROSS Assistant Editor of The Or'nclr, ANNUAL Staff, Athletic Association. Art League, Tennis Club, Do you see that stately Senior sauntering down the hall, as though time is waiting at her service? That is Frances. She has never been known to arrive early at a recitation. The only time she ever hurries is at recess, when she pushes little Freshies right and left in her frenzied haste to the lunch room. To look at her, with that far-away. dreamy look in her eyes, you would immediately char- acterize her as a dreamer. But think not so. T hat angelic appearance is only seem- ing. She dreams in class; but out of classi well, you should just see her tease. Frances needs plenty of pencils within reach. for she is one of the best writers of the class of ,13. Not handwriting! Oh, not That is the despair of her teachers: but you couldnlt reasonably expect good handwriting of a genius. We expect to hear about Frances as a literary star in the near future. As Assistant Editor of the ORACLE she has brightened many a page of it with her keen humor and ready wit. 100 HILDA SCHILLING Art League. A: fair art Hm , my bonnie Ian, 50 deal: in love am I. And I will love time still, my dear, Till all the seas gang dry? Hilda is one of the most charming girls who ever entered Woodward. Her laughing brown eyes and ready smile have made her a great favorite. You can not find a more graceful dancer. She could dance all the way from Tuseulum to school every clay without growing tired. Hilda is also an expert at the piano. but there is one art in which she does not care to become famous, and that is the art of studying German, HNicht wahrf, Herr Professor? XVhenever you are sad just go to Hilda, for she is always full of fun and can have you laughing in a hurry. We hope she may always be as happy as now.

ELISE SEBASTIAN Art League. The land tlmf made Him fair hath mud: thee good. Elise has a cheerful disposition and seldom frowns. By her. things are ac- cepted as they come and she never worries herself or others over the possibilities. She is ever ready to laugh, and through her willingness to help. she has gained an army of friends. She is very sympathetic and our worries vanish when Elise comes in sight with her old reliable, '011. that does not bother me in the least. Elise is not one of those goody-good girls, for she is the possessor of a temper, which. if not very spicy, is sufficient. We know she is a hard-workiug student and does things thoroughly, and because of this we prophesy for Elise a prosperous course in life. 102 ELIZABETH SHELLEY Art League. If you ever see a girl rushing around the halls for something she has lost or forgotten, you'll know it's Elizabeth. That is her only besetting sin; she never seems to know where she leaves her belongings. That, perhaps, is owing to the dreamy air of hers. lVe are living in hopes that she may develop into a great poet some day. We remember well 110w the F reneh teacher used to say that that abstracted look was due either to possible symptoms of typhoid 01- poetic genius Let us hope for the best Also. a reward has been offered to anybody who ever saw Elizabeth in school before the tardy bell had rung. Elizabeth, helter-Skelter as she is. is most lovable, and a general favorite. If you meet her in the corridor land she is not running after something or gazing dreamily into spacel she'll smile at you. the most cheerful smile you ever saw. We Certainly are glad to have had her as a classmate and a friend. MARY SHEPHERD Art League. For each one she': something To romert 0r rhem't Mary is one of the sweetest and most levable of all the girls that ever entered YVoodward, but she has always been so quiet and modest that we never know she is about. During her four years with us, we have never seen her angry, but always smiling, for she has a smile and a word of cheer for everybody. She has made a host of friends, who will miss her greatly. Mary loves music and plays beautifully. IIer ambition to become a musician we hope will be realized. and when we hear of her success we shall be as proud to claim her as one of our class of 1913 as we now are. 103 .1 e t 3 a E g i t yuu-iA, -.::.

In spite of her conscientiousness Grace always has a good joke and a contagious giggle, which makes her a mighty fine sort of a girl for a comrade. Her merry chatter is a source of perpetual entertainment to all of her companions. Grace is ttsome cook,U and what makes her chums appreciate the fact is her generosity. We always think of Grace as one who plans her work and does it in an ideal way. Grace is very fond of her teachers when they spring unexpected tests on her m. On the whole.

MARIE SHORT Art League, President of Tennis Club, Glee Club, Athletic Association. 'IAIaMy-hca-rtcd, light and free. Marie Short, who, by the way, is rather tall, is one of the most popular girls of the School. Her enthusiasm. loyalty and cheerful disposition have won for her many friends, and her pleasant personality has endeared her to them. She is an athlete in every sense of the word, and some clay Will be our champion tennis player. She is fond of music and has a powerful contralto voice.

'Tis true in Latin she does not excel, but she is not a bit stingy with what she knows and is ever ready to prompt. Selmarita will always be remembered by her classmates 0f the Domestic Science Depart ment as a baker of good pies, nlike those mother used to make. Selmarita strongly advocates the home as the womanls place, and, although she intends to take a course at a training school for nurses. we do not think this her highest ambi- tion. Success go with her. CELIA SILVERMAN Oracle Staff, ANNUAL Staff, Oratorical Contest, Art League.

You ought to see her stalk up and down the stage, thrilling us with her bursts of eloquence.

UCupid i: a knavixh lad, Tim; Io make poor maidens mad? Alice came to us this year from another sphere. Consequently, she is not as well acquainted as the old inhabitants. Alice is very careful, conscientious and perservering, and is the shining star of her Chemistry class. She also is very loving, it seems, since this quiet little girl has already been caught in Cupidls web. and now wears 21 lersW before her name instead of just a plain ilMiss like the rest of us. She has fulfilled the ambition she spoke of in Elocution: namely. that of becoming a home maker. lYe have ceased to wonder 110w, Alice, why you said that, but hereis t0 the home that you make ll'elre sure it will be an ideal one.

She is also good in Greek and always willing to help-ewhen we need it. Harriet is noted for her good nature and generosity. and this often gets her into trouble. She is a very jolly companion and can sing like a lark. And did yuu ever hear Harriet give a speech on suffrage? If not. you certainly missed a treat. She is thinking of becoming a teacher.

Her voice mu ever gentle, low and sweet, an excellent thing in woman? Elizabeth is a modest and tlignihed miss, and thought by most to be very quiet: but when you have the pleasure of her close acquaintance you will find her charming and SOCiable. She is interested in athletics and is fond of dancmg. Her weekly question is, HAre you, will you and won't you go to dancing school this week? She is often quite slow in responding, but never mind, Libby, just think of your French. nYou push, he pushes, they push and we push. Elizabeth has Shown considerable talent in music, the study Of which she will continue later. Should her v0catior1 in life be that of music teaching, we hope that her work will. through her pupils. stir the whole world and bring her real fame. BERNICE VALERIO Art League, Glee Club, Athletic Association. To friends a friend,n When once you know Bernice, you can not help loving her, for she is quiet, modest, and a loyal friend. She stands well in all her classes, and is a valuable member- of the Glee Club. In the Domestic Science work she has proved a good cook, and is never known to Shirk her Share of the work in that department. She is also the cutest little waitress in the lunch room. and when she serves us a piece of veal pie we wonder if such a short body can have arms long enough to reach over the high counter. Though not a great talker she is a splendid listener, and is always interested in anything her friends have to tell her. Her echiency in this line has made her little head a storehouse for much knowledge. 108 E'I'HEL VANDERBILT Art League.

Although her motto is, Never do to-day what can be done to-morwwV she always accompliShes that which she undertakes. Her greatest accomplishment is her ability to make fudge and devills food, and her greatest weaknesses are her fondness for pickles and Sedamsville. Taking everything into cousideration, Ethel is a good friend and com- panion, especially to one in trouble. She expects to take up work at U.

Not content with these triumphs she has delved into the depths of Latin and found therein new delights. But farther still soared her ambition. for defy the powers of science she would. However. Art holds Erst place in her affections. Many a time have we been astonished by her paintings or have laughed at some comical sketch of a schoolmate. Still the end is not reached. Medical Science has charmed her, and a small beginning with sick pets is going to end with great triumphs.

She comes early in the morning that she mey study History. she goes home early in the afternoon that she may study H15- tory, and it is rumored that she even sits up late at night studying History. She has some reputation as a talker, but her friends really love her more for this fault. She is one of the stars of the Dmiiestic Science class. How charming she looks in her white apron. antlt oh, my, what good things she can prepare RUTH WALTON A Athletic Association, Art League. Ruth is by no means as serious as she looks here. She is always ready to smile or crack a joke Perhaps she is tempted once in a while, to part with her hits of wit in the classrooms. In fact. it would seem unnatural if you should see Ruth when she is not busily talking. But life is too short to let it pass unre- marked. and perhaps this may account for a demerit 01' two which Ruth gets every once in a while. And popularewell. you may understand that for your- selfehccause she greets you so cordially every time she sees you and never appears to be grumpy. Just walk through the hall with her some day and you would realize. 215 Ruth herself saicl. that she ought to have a hello machine, so that she can speak to all her friends. without trouble.

Just being happy, and it is this that helps her to do such excellent work. She is conscientious about her work. and we all like to have her in our classes, for she is always ready to discuss any question that may arise. Not only does she love her books, but nature as well. and. above all. people. It is to her we turn for sympathy when any of those terrible Chemistry problems are given us, and we are always sure of getting it, too. Elsie intends to go to the University next year, and we feel sure that she will there conquer any problem just as she has here mastered her Latin and History. 111 ZELMA WHEELER Art League Shurt but moor! land hard to b94120.

Only a few essential details are necessary to distinguish her from the rest of the dainty misses, such as her giggle. her curly hair, and her lovable disposition. She is inclined to be domestic, notwithstanding the many mistakes made in the cooking room. She often has llshort but sweet displays of tempen especially in the locker room, but we all know these are only Shams.

This seems to be her favorite language and she speaks it almost as Fluently as English. She has a great desire to be a nGerman teacher? and we hope that some clay she will realize her ambition. No matter how early Ruth may arrive at the Historv class. she sets to work immediately in her usual industrious way. We are sure thal she will continue tn do so always. AGNES WI DMYER Art League, Tennis; Club, Athletic Association. Agnes came to us from XVahmt Hills High School in her Sophomore year, and brought With her that smile and those irresistible sayings.

Ethel also has a keen sense of humor. Gymnastic work seems to be very pleasing to her. and some day she may be conducting gym- mastic classes herself; She is one of our best attendants at the ball games, and never misses one which is to be especially interesting.

She has always had something to tell us in Civics; in fact. she is seldom without an answer in any of her classes. Besides being studious, she has always been ready for a good tune, and espeeially fond of school dances. Ethel is fond of music being particularly devoted to the Violin. We wonder why! This fair maid has often been seen stroll- ing through the hails looking down, and we have wondered of what she was thinking. iiFuture happiness and successii is the wish Of the class for Ethel. 114 E- CORINNE WYSONG 'Fur mmtre made hcr what she is, And ne'er Hidde sum another.

I believe. than she can frown. Corinne is an expert in making candies and does excellent work in the Domestic Science Depart- ment.

Although she is small, she will let you know that size is not of such an advantage, for whenever you make her angry you are sure to see her brown eyes snap: 50 we warn you to beware. Middief; as she is called by her friends, has made, in her two years at Woodward, many friends. a fact which leads us to believe that no matter where Middie is likely to roam she will be surrounded with friends. She is always jolly and full of fun. Then, besides, Mildred is a star German pupil. 115 EDWIN C. WREDE Athletic Association, Art League, Walking Club.

We do not know what she will do after leaving XVoodward. but we are glad that she has been one of us, and we wish her success in whatever she undertakes. 116 EVOLUTION UR airship arrived none too soon, since the day was one Of inspection and the roof of the magnihcent eighteen-story building was over- crowded with machines. Decidedly amazed were we at seeing the wonderful evolution the school had under- gone since we had been students fifty years ago. Upon alighting from the Car we were intercepted by a dignihed individual, a Senior, who assured the party that he would be an efficient guide. and who conducted us into the refreshment room. Behind the stand stood a poor being, who, our guide informed us, was 21 nFreshie, Peters by name, Any relation to iPreacher Peters? 't Eveland asked, and the boy said the preacher was his grandfather. While we were enjoying our drinks, Mr. Kroeger, the famous wireless operator, saw the wireless station, and you can rest assured lost no time in getting to it. He immediately began ticking the keys and was loath to leave, but we dragged him away. Leaving the roof. we descended to the next Hoor by means of movable stairs. Here we were greeted by wild cheering. and. upon inquiring the reason. learned 117 that the school championship game of tennis was on. Expecting to see them playing on a wooden Hoor, we were surprised to see they had hue clay courts, with crowded tiers of seats around them. Here, again, the Freshie was brought to advantage. He had to roll the Cdurts, make them each day and keep them clear of litter. Too bad the way they treat these people in this generation. Our guide next conducted us into an exceptionally large room and said it was a dance hall. Oh, such a fine floor and those accommodations! Cozy corners and deep armehairs were everywhere; it made us feel young again to think of the time when we used to have our class dances in the girls' gym. From here we were led to a 111agnificent ice skating rink, cooled by a special process, and one could go skating there whenever he wished. Better than skating home 011 the canal, isn't it, Mr. Lindsley? The gym was one of the largest in the country, handsomely equipped, and with a great one-mile run- ning track, almost free of curves. Off the main gym were the basket ball, hand ball, fencing, rowing. boxing, card and p001 rooms. These rooms were all haan somely decorated in blue and white, and many trophies adorned their walls. We were next sh0wn the swimming pool, which was a wonderful one. It was at least seventy-five feet long and fifty feet wide and from live to twelve feet deep. This is the kind of pool to haveinot the small, narrow, dingy thing that we had, where you had to swim back and forth a dozen times for a flfty-yard dash. The dining room was a model of perfection. No more did one have to grab a plate and wait for uVVerf to give you your grub, Sehafer, that bread pudding, or Tennison, that ice cream. Instead, you wrote your Order on a slip of paper, inserted it in a box, pressed a button. and the order would he carried to the kitchen, which was directly underneath the dining room. Then, by means of tiny electric elevators, the dinner was hoisted through a trap door in the floor to your tablew- ancl it was a good dinner. The John Hilberg Company supplied the meat. After eating, we inspected the laboratories. My, but they were some TtLabs. Experiments that were impossible to perform in days gone by on account of lack of apparatus were performed here every day and nothing thought of it. In the Chem. Lab. were those automatic water controllers, invented by Mayer and Venosa, both of the '13 class, to prevent water from overflowing and flooding the room. This is quite an invention. the 130375 told us. for, while they are waiting for their 118 trough to till, they can enjoy a tlhod full of tobacco. On this floor are also the medical, surgical and dental clinics. Having inspected some two hundred class rooms, we were struck by the fact that we' met but few teachers. The guide told us that they had done away with all the teachers except one, t'OId Pete Oehlschlaegerf who was still teaching Spanish and Latin, and were now receiving their instructions by vietro-las, and that they learned considerably more by that method than if teachers were there. Reaching the library we were awed by its size and collections of books, many having been written by Harry Sehafer. Julius Holzberg and Ed Israel, all of the ,13 class. Instead of the quiet hall where the books were kept as of old, this spacious room was now tilled by lounging students, who mumbled and talked at will without the slightest heed of being chastised by a teacher. The study room, the guide informed us, was the apartment in which students who had become tired were wont to rest. Upon looking in we were surprised at the many small white linen bedecked beds that were arranged in rows, as is the custom in a hospital. The auditorium had a seating capacity of five thou- sand and the stage was the largest in the city. At the time we reached it a school entertainment was in full progress; a magnificent orchestra, numbering eighty-flve, under the leadership of a student. was ending the first number. It was quite different from the one we had when our class graduated. We fmally reached the Manual Training Depart- ment and observed the boys at their work, from the small Freshie, trying to make a joint, to the Senior, putting an airship together. In this department could be seen those famous machines designed by our old friend, Edgar Albrecht. The boys told us that the only thing wrong with these machines was their eccen- tricityethey never knew if they were going to run or not, but outside of this they were all right Fatigued by our long tramp, the idea of going up all those stairs was a very unpleasant one to us. Imagine our joy when our guide conducted us to a door in the wall, the door opening automatically tas all the doors did in the entire housel, and told us to Step in. We entered a steel box tit waaft an elevator, eitherl; our guide Closed the door, pressed a button, and we were conveyed to the roof in a second. The guide laughingly remarked that these were the pneu- matic tubes installed for conveying students and visitors to different parts of the building. Think of that! Having thanked our guide, we climbed back into our airship and were soon flying away, our eyes opened to the drawbacks and disadvantages we had when we went to school. 119 Lest We Forget f3!

T reasurer 122 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY N the newly erected edifice, now the home of the W'oodward students, we, the class of nineteen hundred and fourteen, registered ourselves three years ago as Freshmen, with Professor Lyon as the head of the school. We have progressed annually in a wonderful fashion, until at the end of this third term we have distinguished ourselves as the eventful Junior class. At the close of our fourth year, we shall look with pride upon the fact that we were the first class to take the full four years in the new W'Dodward High School. In our Freshman year many of us fell victims to the ravages of Latin, while the others fumbled in handling algebra, botany and zoology. Since the initial year is always a hard one to conquer, we lost many Of our mates who had entered in the fall of 1910. In not being separated from the rest of the school, as preceding Freshmen had been, we overcame our fear of the dignified Senior, and in consequence gained much worldly knowledge from 0111' older brothers, wh05e airs and expressions we could imitate. We entered our Sophomore year with much pride, and gazed with contempt 0n the youngsters who were to make up the Class of 1915. Some Of our boys began to grow fan'ious, some for their ability along athletic lines. others for various reasons. 0111' hardest enemy was geometry. that interesting and exact science which teaches to reason out things. Latin was always to be encountered, and between these two there was not much time left for anything else 111 this, our Junior year, we have made our first attempt to he dignihecl. After a few menths the expression of dignity 123 came natural, and we are now at the c'ritical stage where we can inspire terror in the hearts of the lower classmen. and can even look 21 Senior in the face witty out having our knees 131111113 together. Many of our classmates have made themselves prominent, one having been elected captain of the track team, and another manager of the football team, and others have lighted strongly on the football, basket ball and track teams. However, the greatest honor con- ferred upon us was the electiori Of Our most popular man as cheer leader of the school. Then came the February examinations and the election of class ofhcers, Powers Clancy, president; Clara Heins, Vice-president; C. Culbertsmi, secretary; 'llevis Crutchfield, treasurer. Soon after the election came the Junior-Senior dance, a festivity which was a decided success. Then came April, and with it the jOy that we would soon be the presiding and distinguished class of the school. Next came the ORACLE election, Walter Haehnle being chosen editor, and William Pottenger, business man- ager. But enough of Junior life, with its joys and sorrows. The class of 1914 has tried its best to preserve the honor of Woodward. It was handed down spotless t0 L15 from the preceding class, and we have put forth our best efforts to keep it so. Feeling the responsibility of keeping at its proper height the fame and glory of Woodward. we shall go through school and life. ever heecling that which will nerve us to strive for and attain all that is good in life, namely, the motto of 0111' beloved W'oorlwat'dn: mfg be rather than to seem to be. The Soph with looks and manners gay 0,611 Freshie, rules with haughty sway: He tries to imitate the talk Of Junior proud-the Seuiofs walk. Holds high his head at childish pranki For soon 11611 enter the Junior ranks. But we may smile; beneath, we see H853 timid and green as he can be. 124 Next appears upon the screen The foolish Freshie, bright and green. He 111akes his way about the hall. Hugging close the nearest wall: Nor does he dare to move aside Lest he should harm a Senior's H131-1'c1e. But now his thoughts begin to soar For soon he'll be a Sophomore. 125 6F5K$3 AC F00 :AQJ 0g 46b Cu .nm MKHWDJH- 7 .54 09 4-3-11; ronxnagaf 126 127 128 I J SLHLESSELMAH'JJ Harry H.

The yard and streets, until now deserted, throng with a merry crowd of laughing boys and girls. Their bright sweaters and jaunty caps illuminate the sombre landscape. One group calls to another. You hear: HSay. Jim, did you see that one joke? Its great! Here it is, page 143, ttOh, Mary, who put that about what I said in Latin, in the tKnockers' Column? i And each one eagerly scans the pages of the blue 111agazine, which he is holding in his hand.

Let us turn to an edition of it: Here you see uSchool Notes. which set forth in an interesting 111311111131 . the various activities of school life. You might think this column unnecessary to a Wood- ward student, who. being in the building, should nat- urally know what is going on about him. Ah! But you forget. This is no longer the little school building of the days of the Civil Wren: It is an immense Stately edifice. which contains so many who are in quest of education, that the only way for each one to know everything that goes on is through the pages of the ORACLE. Then comes the Manual Training Depart- ment? without which the girls of our school would never know what is taking place in those mysterious regions whence the boys issue with eoaI-hesmutted countenanees. There is the Sporting Page, where we read of the achievements of 0111' athletes. In our paper, the reader is offered, too, the current events of greatest impor- tance in the world He has the heneht Of an Ahimnal Column, in which he may read of the positions of honor and renown, which the Woodward graduates have reached in the world, not omitting the fact that some of them get married.

The league has a large membership, including the teachers and most of the pupils. It has a representa- tive in every room, Whose business it is to collect the five cents a month dues from each member there. At the meetings of these representatives, reports are made as to the progress of the league and the expenditures of the money collected. This year the league has purchased twoi large pic- tures, HFiltering Lightsf! both painted by Allan Coch- ran, a VVO-Odward boy of the class of 107. These have 143 been hung in the auditorium of the school. iiTudor England is another picture purchased by the league this year; the panels composing this picture are copies of six pictures which hang in the House of Parliament, and their titles are as follows: n'The New Learning in England, nLatiiner Preaching before Edward VI,H mThe Origin of Parties? irMaryis Entry into London as Queen, ttThe Age of Discovery, iiCatdinal Wolsey at the Trial of Catherine of Aragon and Henry VIII.

Maynard FOOTBALL: i'IrpAi L'R football team started out this year without any formalities 01' red tape, but overconhclenee on the part Of many members of the eleven cost several of the important games which our boys should have captured handily. Under the direction of Coach Luth. they were rounded into Jform early, and had no trouble winning the first game from the Lock- Iand school. In their zeal to win, the mainstays tried to use themselves as battering rams. with the result that they were injured time and again. Had they played with more regard for themselves, the scores might have read with Woodward on the top. The season opened with Krueck. as captain, and Fisher, as manager. Hopes ran high and the outcome seemed einehed in our favor. lirueck, Haehnle and Fisher were playing the aggressive game of their career when they ivere injured. Then the work fell upon that speed merchant, Shafer. This slim fellow gave us some of the best playing witnessed in recent years, ranging over the field as slippery as an eel, wriggling through the Opposition or cutting down end runs. As for ginger. it will have to be credited to Kiuyon, 164 who did much to put confidence mm the wavering lines by his aggressive work at quarter. Owing to- the fact that a new set of backs performed in nearly every game the team lacked that elock-wise precision and quickness which constitute much of the football make- up. The blue and white were outweighed in most every game from ten to fifteen pounds, but came through the mire 0f the season with a credible showing 4 J -I TRACK 47 ; Nothing indicated to better advantage the tie mendous growth of interest in track antl other field events than the number of entries, Everybody trained faithfully, and. as a result, h-rolce many of the previous records; I i ' .. :7: m BASKET BALL 32 IT 4 n5 :- Ki; The debut of the basket ball season brought forth many new stars and a winning combination.

Turning the pages to the present time, we read less of the glories, more of the evils in the national life of to-daye how through lack of patriotism, lack of loyalty to the common good, graft and political corruption have been allowed to creep into- our national system of public service. Because of this the people throughout our whole nation. desiring to attain an ideal government, are uniting in an effort to wipe out this corruption, The question naturally arises, llHow can we best attain this state of government? Our government is just what the people of these United States make it, nothing less and nothing more. The laws of any nation are merely the outgrowth of the thought, the sentiment of its people. Can the national life of any republic be more advanced than the citizens who make that national life? Certainly not. Thus it follows that in order to have a perfect national life we first must have ideal citizens, for they only can make it such. What are the requirements of an ideal Citizen? We 16? as a nation tO-day think, KlLet the youth be cultured and our citizenship will be perfect? rlLet him be educated and our country will be great. Is .it culture, is it refinement, is it education alone that makes ideal citizenship? If we take as the great exponents of the ideal the men who went before us, the men who are tO-clay accounted the greatest of our nation, we shall find that it was not these things alone which made them perfect in the eyes of their fellowmen. George VVash- ington, as a boy, was a splendid athlete, but his educa- tion was a. limited one. Abraham Lincoln, that sublime example of. ideal manhood, had only a loving pioneer mother and the Bible to teach him. If not education, what was it, then, that lifted these men so high above their fellows? What was it that made them the standard of civic: manhood? It was their virtue. They loved Virtue and She taught them a generous, loyal and unselhsh devotion to noble ideals for their countryis welfare. She taught them a true patriotism. unsullied by Vice 01' ambition. This, thenetrw z'ii'tuciis the first requisite 0f the ideal citizen. Where did these men obtain their virtue. their principles of honesty and loyalty, their true patriotism? 1n the high school, in the university, in the college? They were graduates of neithei; but of an institution higher and nobler than any school or college. They were graduates of homes that were full of the truest. noblest ideas, homes from which sweetness and purity radiated as does light from the sun. T00 widespread among the American people to-clay is the fallacious idea that the schools, the colleges, can teach the youth the vital principles of true Civic manhood. They can give him culture, refinement, eclucatioh, but they can not alone teach him the underlying principles of true citizenship Why? Because a man must be taught to know loyalty to his state and to his God through loyalty to his own hearthstone The first law of heaven and earth Law and Orderf' has not its origin Ot-ttsidg of the home but within it. Home. then, is the greatest factor in the training of the citizens of any nation. whether those citizens are good or had, as a result of that training. Can we ever hope to have ideal citizens if the place in which our youths are trained for future citizenship be not ideal? Can 0111' youths acquire virtue, if the homes in which they are disciplined be devoid of virtue? Would we have youths willing to live for their country, as well as to die for her, would we have 3 Citizenship, sane, pure and strong, we must hrst have clean. beautiful homes. Would we make ideal our great Government of the people. by the people, and for the people, would we make our nation one to be loved, honored and respected throughout all time, we must make ideal homes. Homes in which there is just a little more thinking of others than of self; w-here patience and honor are handmaidens at the table, and where love bedews the roses by the portal: where through the serene light of family unity is discerned the still higher unity of loyalty, through faith and toil to community, state and Government. W hen we have homes such as these, they Will send forth an army of ideal Citizens, noble, upright and strong. The ideal citizen will always advocate clean, wholesome legislation. Ideal homes, ideal citizens and ideal G0vernment-what a glorious future for our AmericaleAmclia Nagvl. 168 i! illHWllHIIHHHHHIIHHHHHIIIHHIIIHIUHHHHHIHHH HHIHHIHIHIIHHHUHIIHIIIHXHIIIHIIHHHMIIHM HIHWIIIHIHIIIHIHIIHIUH1IHIHIIHlIIHll IIHIllmlXIllHIIHIHlIIItHHII 1mlllHII lIIHIHIIHlIIHIIHIHHHIIHMHIHE Man hitting in crowded carJ Pardon me, miss, but yOLUre standing on my feet.
