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

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.

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
