up to the former standard, but had to surpass this standard to escape criticism. This Student Supervisor plan was suggested by the Woodward Service Committee, one of the several committees provided for by the Board. There was also appointed by the Board a Philan- thropic Committee, which collected and sent out numerous baskets of food and clothing to the poor at Christmas time, and did various other philan- thropic deeds. The Social Committee demonstrated its worth at the A grade reception. Nothing more need be said, for those who were there know what a good time everyone had. The hardest and most tedious tasks was that which came to the Program Committee. The A grade held its business meetings every Friday morning, after which this committee was to have some form of amusement 'or instruction ready for us. On one occasion Mr. Surdo spoke to us 011 the appreciation of music; at other times our members displayed their histronic or musical abilities. We also had many lectures from professors and busi- ness men. Many of our boys marched as escorts to eX-President Taft, who attended the laying of the cornerstone of the new Court House. 13 Then when the Liberty Bell passed through the city everybody turned poet tor poetesst and pro- duced odes ttTo the Bell. Almost the entire school assembled to see the proclaimer of freedom, al- though it was so late in arriving that many of us lost our former enthusiasm and departed before the bell arrived on the scene. The Athletic Banquet was quite an event. Many of us tried to prolong the pleasure because of that one thought uppermost in our minds, Hthis is the last. The twenty-fourth anniversary of Founders Day was celebrated March 8. A fine program was rendered, and we certainly realized what we owed to William Woodward and the long line of teach- ers whose work he encouraged. After exams, came Class Week, free from care and responsibility, we assembled once more at our picnic, banquet and class night, to have one more good frolic before saying, ttGoodbyf, And as we came to the parting of the ways, it was with a determination to make our lives count for the greatest possible good because of the influence of friends who had gone With us through years of study and fun in old Woodward.
