Soon we came to love our school. And then, before we knew it, the four years had rolled by, and now we can but look back on what was. ' W'e are upon the threshold of the future, and are leaving NVood- ward with that same reverence and awe which we felt when we entered it. lt is difficult to conceive that we shall no longef be pupils at Woodward and that our high school days are over. But who does not regret parting? Who cannot look back and say that the pleasures have been greater than the hardships? VVe go away from Woodward with sad hearts. But the mem- ories of the dear old school will never beverased. T hey will ever linger with us, and always will we look back, grateful to Woodward for teaching us Alto be, rather than to seem toibef' il lltllllllllllllllllltlllllllllIllilllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltllllllllIllllllllllllllIlllHIIIIIIIIHIIVIIIIIIllHIIIIillIII!Ill1IllIIIIIIHIIIIIllIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllPHI!IIIIIIIIIHIIllllllllKIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllllillltHItINItllllllltllllllllltlllltitlllllllllillllllllllllll 9

through it, was replaced by a larger structure, which was opened on December 31, 1855. The sum of 330,000 was expended on the new school. It was a line specimen of Gothic archi- tecture, beautifled by two terra cotta gargoyles, of which we are the proud possessors. They are in the Graduates' Room, with many articles from the old schools and from Mr. Woodward's home. The spacious halls and numerous classrooms of this building were a marked improvement over the first little school. After an additional wing had been built, the school had fifteen classrooms and a gymnasium. Pupils now crowded the school, and lack of room made it necessary to transfer many to the Walnut Hills High School. The Old Woodward Club of 1831-1851 and the Alumnal Association decided to erect a monument to Mr. Vlfoodward. The bodies of Mr. Woodward and his beloved wife, Abigail Cutter Woodward, were removed from the Presbyterian Cemetery, where they had been laid to rest long ago, to the east side of the Woodward High School grounds. The sum of 558,724.84 was raised, and over the two graves a monument was placed, and dedicated on October 24, 1878. The second building soon became crowded, and the time was approaching when this splendid struc- ture would have to be replaced by a larger one if Mr. Woodward's excellent work was to continue. So a new Woodward, our present school, was begun in 1907, and on November 4, 1908, with Mr. William Howard Taft, a graduate of '74, as orator, the corner stone was laid. The new building, cov- ering an entire square, is Hve stories high, and contains classrooms, a gymnasium, library, lunch room, rest rooms, and an auditorium with a seating capacity of eleven hundred. -How unlike the little school of 1831 with its four rooms! Still the same Woodward spirit, which filled that little school of years ago, now hlls the halls of our great institution. In 1919 the Bettens' library was presented to us by Mr. Bettens, a graduate of Woodward in '68, in honor of his mother, Louise E. Bettens. We, the Class of 1922, having spent four years within the walls of Woodward High School, and realizing the priceless value of education, will go out into the world with a great love in our hearts for William Woodward and an abiding loyalty to our school and its teachings. ODA BAUER, '22.
