The time has fied so quickly that it is difhcult for us to realize that we must now leave. Dear W'oodward, when we First came to you, we were mere childreng We leave you now as young men and young women. You have protected and taught us during the most critical period of our youth. To show our appreciation of all that you have clone for us, We, the graduating class of 1923, will strive to maintain in the school of Life what you hayecsoiioblyjauqglgt-uszg 'll-2555 Quam Videri CTO be rather than to seem to bej. You shall- find-that 'your 'teachings have not been in vain, for you have left upon our minds and hearts impressions that can never be erased. mm ,,-- ,H mm ,' ', mm ,,,'-,, mm ,- ., .mu ,,+-',, mm ,f-, mm ,,, v,, mm ,-'-, mm ,,vv,, mm ,V -, mm ,,f v,, mm ,, ',, mm ,V -, mm ,, ',, mm ,' 1, mm ,,-v,, mm ,I -, mm -- ., mm .MLMMWWWWMMVMMMMWWWWWMWMWWWHMWMQWMMMWMWWWWWVWWWWWWNWIWN .,,,' mm mm mm mm lm.. mm mm mm mm ,- mm fx - mm 1..f mm u, ....uvI.,Iw.,...

came obvious. Consequently, the little school was razed, and a larger building was erected in its place. This second school was con- sidered the finest specimen of Gothic archi- tecture west of the Alleghanies. But VVilliam Woodward and his wife, Abigail, did not live to see this school. Mr. Woodward died in 1833, just two years after the opening of the first school. His wife passed away in 1851. They were buried side by side in the Presbyterian Cemetery. In 1859 the bodies were transferred to the north side of the high-school yard. Later, in 1908, when the plans for the present building were being discussed, it was decided that the bodies, together with the monument of William Woodward, be re- moved to the east side of the yard. All night six members of the Alumnal Association stood guard over the graves. On June 16, 1908, the graves were transferred. The corner stone of the present building was laid on November 4, 1908. The orator on this occasion was William Howard Taft, of the class of ,74. This new building, a beautiful structure, five stories in height, is a truly Htting monument to him whose interest in education gave to Cincinnati its first high school. In 1919, Woodward High School was pre- sented with a library of 1,600 books by Mr. Bettens, of the class of '68, in honor of his mother, Louise E. Bettens. During the year 1922-1923 the school re- ceived many highly prized gifts. The Society of Mayfiower Descendants presented us with a Tiffany illuminated copy of the Mayflower Compact. Brevet Colonel T. H. Allan, TJI, gave the school his cavalry boots and escut- cheon, besides several engravings. A mag- nificent painting, entitled The Enchanted Garden, was presented by Miss Virginia Brown, of the class of 1923. To the class of 1923, as we go out into the world, the history and traditions of Wood- ward, together with the memory of the four years spent there, will always be sacred. Olive A. Kramer, '23
