Glass ?l'fistory N September of 1910, Mr. Lyon, who was principal I of Woodward at that time, welcomed the first Freshman class that was to occupy the time new building. This structure is indeed imposing, and to think that it had been built all for 113 made us extremely conceited. In spite of our vanity, 110w- ever, the vast size. of the edifice gave us a Etlost feel- ing? and we thought at first that we should need guides to show us to our various rooms. We felt very proud the first day to think that we had at last entered upon our high school career. However, some of our pride was taken out of us in a very short time when we discovered that we were not regarded very favorably by the upper elassmen, and seemed to he made the target of all their jokes. We were duly impressed by the Seniors who, we thought. must know everything; we had a great deal of re- spect for the Juniors; and as for the Sophomores, we felt quite envious of them. We Were extremely foolish that first year and giggled a great deal, a propensity which some of us even now have not lost. Notwithstanding our hard work CU, our Fresh- man year passed quickly and pleasantly. and after the summer vacation we found ourselves back at school under the proud name of Sophomore. This year we felt quite important and assumed quite a patronizing air toward those less fortunate ones who were only Freshmen. This year, also, some of our number passed bravely through the terrors of Cae- sarts Gallic Wars. This was a trying ordeal as those who experienced it can testify. After this terrible siege we were indeed ready to enjoy our three months, vacation. The next fall we returned to school, fuli-tledged Juniors. Mr. Johnston was now our principal. As Juniors, we were privileged to elect class officers and we made the following selection: Power Clancy. President: Clara Heius, Vice-President; Charlene Culbertson, Secretary; Tevis Crutchfield, Treasurer. Shortly after our class organization we Juniors gave the Seniors a dance which was pronounced a success. In the spring that long-to-be-remembered event took place the Woodward boat-ride. This was well at- tended by teachers and pupils and was greatly en- joyed by all. Another interesting incident was the presenting at the cane to our class. After this we realized how close to the Seniordom we really were, and with the realization we began to swell visibly with pride. We could scarcely await the time when we should be ttit.
