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

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

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
