As we glance farther upward on the left side of the glass picture, we see a house surrounded by a wooden fence. This tiny place is the first VVoodwal'd High School; it was founded by XVilliam Vt-Toodwarcl. It is a small. lwo-story. brick house which was opened on October 21, 1831. It had an enrollment of just l'ol'tywtwo students and three teachers. All the pupils were boys, no girls having been admitted until 1851. The ground on which this original Woodward High School was built was given by Mr. XVomlward. The. school did work of such a scholarly cha 'acler that it was chartered. in 1836, as stWoodward College and High School, but later it he 'ame again a high school onlxn The next little house that we discover in our window seems something like the one we have just seen. It is a picture 01' the same school, only this time, look! it boasts of a third story, which was added in 18-1-1. The last house which is in the center of the border, is also a school, but it is entirely different from the other two. It is much large ' and finer. The great inei'iase in the number of students had made neces sary the erection of a new building which was opened in 1835; which took the place 01' the original VVood- t'artl High School building. This building has now been torn down, and the present Woodward High School takes its place. We continue to gaze at the. beautiful window and wonder if something is not missing. Ah! oi course there is! Where is our building of to-day? It is miss- ing. We wonder why that is, until we remember that, as VVehster says, iteulogies belong to the deadf' and we realize that a building must be scrapped before its picture is put in a stained glass window. iVe realize, however. that in the future. this building will be standing only in the Iilemories of those who knew and loved it and that some member of a future generation will point to its picture in a stained glass window and tall it old-fashioned. But how much rather we would have our building as is than have it torn down so that its picture might he put in a magnificent stained glass window. When we sp -ak of the laying of the. eorner-stone tor the present building on November 4, 1908, we never fail to say that the orator for the day was Ex-president William Howard Tal't, of the Class of 7-4, who is now Chief Justice of the United States. This new building, live stories high, with every modern convenience, accommodates over1,500pupils. What a contrast it is to the lirst Woodward High School! Ma r it row till it meets our rowinu needs! k K a CARRIE KOHRMANN.
