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
