The time passed, huwuvcr, though slowly it seemed to us, and we finally occupied that much longed for and exceedingly exalted position of Seniors. We now fondly believed that we wvrv the pivot on which the whole school turned. This year the following were our class otticers: Stanley McKee. President; Norma Askren, Vice-President; Emma Schwindt, Secretary; Edward Taylor. Treasurer. These four proved that they were capable in every way of holding the otttces to which they were, elected. Shortly before Thanksgiving :1 dance was given by the Seniors. Another dance followed the week be, fore Christmas. At the latter small gifts were given to all present. Those who attended these two func- tions enjoyed themselves immensely. In February the Juniors honored our class with a reception. Our Senior year was saddened by the deaths of Professor Gores and Miss Wilson. Their absence NOW is greatly felt by the school. There is no doubt that the Class of 1914, which is the, largest Senior class that Woodward has ever had, has also been the most brilliant, since it has such distinguished members asawcll, there is not space to mention them all. Sometimes it has been hard to convince the faculty of this fact, but we ourselves know it to be true. As we are now about to part, and each is to go his or her separate way. may we never forget the pleasant times we have had together, and may we always remain loyal and faithful to Old Wood- wardit and strive over to live up to her motto, ttEsse Quam Viderift

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.

Gbc Elass of 1914 Bbrougb tbe Eelescope of Tife Y train was speeding away from home and friends, and through my lonely thoughts came the memory of the adventurous days I had spent at Woodward and I wondered if I would be fortunate enough to meet any of my former school companions during my travels. Very soon the train arrived at New York City, where I was to spend a day. Upon espying one of the large, sight-seeing automobiles, I jumped on, and before long the most interesting scenes of huslling and busy thoroughfare were passing before us. Our first tour was along Fifth avenue, where the following names considerably attracted my atten- tion: Clancy and Ray. manufacturers of the 20th Century speed limit motor cars and limousines; The Keating, Lockwood and Juergens C0., builders of modem bungalows hnd cottages; Mr. Harry Tennen- baum. retailer of modern furniture; The Essel Sis- ters. teachers 01' dressmaking and millinery; Miss Strickeris School of Art; ccTake Edward Taylorts Beauty Hints? Mr. Louis Hohmalfs Weight Reduc- ing Remedy, ttOne Dose on. Five Pounds 0H; Miss Whites, Course of Hand Painting and Drawing; Prac- tical Lessons in Scientific Boxing, by Mr. Charles Schwartz; Lessons on the Strength and Eloquence of the Voice. by Mr. Athone Tisehler; Mission and Bible School. ttMr. Forest Deal will speak tonight on Wlihe Sins of Men;g Mr. Lee Tehnw, skilled mechanic and architect; Miss Sarah Levyts School of Expres- sion; all the. latest tangoes and fancy dancing taught by Mr. Harry Mueller; Mercury Chumard, ttThe Speed Marvel of the Age, will perform at Sayler Park this afternoon; Mr. Percival Roosats School of Scientific Agriculture. We next visited the Hippodrome, New Yorkis largest theater, and as I entered the lobby l was confronted by two well-dresscd men, whom I imme- diately recognized as Messrs. Carter and Haas, and was informed that they were the managers of this theater, and they kindly offered me a box seat for the afternoon performance. The first number on the program was an ex- tremely interesting magician act, under the direction of Professors Pottenger and Yoest. Their perform- ance was excellent and deserving of credit. Following this was a musical selection in the form of a vocal duet by the two famous singers of Wood- ward High School, Miss Laura McNult and Miss Esther Fairchild. Up to this time I had taken no notice of the orches- tra, but the last performance had required quite a bit of symphonic accompaniment, so what was my
