Thou canst not stem this rushing tide Of youth that sweeps the hills away And rushes to the ocean spray Of life. Seek not this tide to turn, But young and powerful let it churn Ht can and wilU 'gainst time-worn way Of man and nature as it may. Aside ye dim and ancient creeds; This river swiftly, swiftly speeds Beyond the dams ye try to be. It racing spins to teach the sea And join the ocean's endless roar Upon fell Nature's rugged shore In search of truth and life. Delay Youth not. both ancient men and cteeds. But let Youth bring his present deeds, Not dreams of past when ye had sway. Shake not thy head thou skeptic old And say youth's follies manifold Doom youth; say not all cliffs shall hold, Each barrier unchanged shall bee Thy father said the same of thee. Then yield the 6imr5k5ihef: Let be This torrent rushing to the sea. It breaks the cliffs that can not last, Of lies and fears man has amassed. And builds from Nature's walls in time A beach of truth and life sublime. RAY CARTLIDGE, '25 Page 5 Page 6 FOREWORD OWN through the glorious history of our Alma Mater, descending from class to class, has come the sacred duty of keeping alive the hre kindled by the immortal spirit of her founder. We, the Annual Staff of 1926, have com- piled this book as a medium for passing on his divine flame. To many these pages may be only a record of a graduating class; but to us, the Class of 326, they are the gateway to the beautiful land of memories which influences so much our lives in later years. We have reached the end of our high school course; and as we look back upon the road we have traveled, we see only the great high-lights which have guided us to this mile-post of our journey. The friendships formed during our four years of association are stored in'our inner hearts as sacred and priceless possession; The words of praise or of merited reproof from those whose teachings have shaped our lives will be sweet echoes of the past, guiding our steps in the pursuit of the high visions born within these Woodward halls. Of him who with his far-sighted wisdom began this sequence of happy events in the lives of his adopted children we may say: llYea, his spirit ever lives In the hearts to whom he gives Dearer gifts than fame or gold. Rich with blessings yet: untold. PAUL SCHLUETER, '26 Page 7 WILLIAM G.

The general plan of the Annuals pub- lished in preceding years has been some- what adhered to in the making of this book; but we have altered and added many features for its betterment. A more deiinite arrangement was worked out earlier in the year by which the pages of the record were mote definitely and uni- formly planned than of those of former years. A decided improvement in the quality of the snap-shots printed was ob tained by the appointment of a special staff photographer, whose duty was to procure pictures having an intimate relah tion to school activities. By these pic- ,Lm CW tures we have attempted to portray high school life from different vieW-points. A new feature is the special section provided for autographingv We have felt these pages to be necessary for strengthening the memory of our classmates and teachers. In the publications of previous years only group pictures of the undergraduates were included. These groups were so large in many cases that the faces of the individuals could not be distinguished readily. As a consequence of this We have placed in this yeafs book smaller groups, but larger photographs. These, together with im- provements in art and arrangement, con- stitute a few of the features by Which we have attempted to give the annals of the class individuality and unity. As staff adviser, Mr. Smith has worked faithfully in order that the success of this undertaking might be realized. The mem- Page I 5 hers are individually indebted to him for his untiring efforts and helpful directions. In the meetings he has always offered wise and practical advice, which has guided our movements in the right direction. The staff, therefore, acknowledges its hearty appreciation of his kind co-opetation. Under the supervision of Mr. Gray, our business manager, Thomas Vassalo, has been able to care for all financial matters. The advertising section has been somewhat reduced, thus making another improve- ment over previous annuaIst The mem- bers of this division, and notably Mr. Gray, have worked jointly and faithfully with the literary staff in the effort to pro- duce a better book. Much credit is due to these business people, who had the great task of making the publication 3 financial success. Mr. Johnson and the members of the art department have had many new and excellent ideas. which they have carried out very commendably, Simplicity, beau- ty, originality and uniformity characterize the work of this group. Their achieve- ments testify to ability and painstaking effort. It is quite evident that they have made the art work an outstanding feature. The editor wishes to express his sincere thanks to the members of the staff who have co-operated With him and worked faithfully for the success of our year-book. The entire Annual Staiif has worked to gethet with the one great ideal before them. that of a better Woodward Annual. PAUL SCI-ILUETE'R. '26 Page I a' t vmn ii - .muum uh FACULTY Miss M. C.

Four years ago, when Woodward High opened wide her stately portals to the world, a throng of bright-faced lads and lasses, the Class of '26, entered upon its high school career. Four years have passed and the same students, now sadly decreased in number, are about to But ah! I fear that I go too rapidly. 'Twas on the eleventh day of September. in the year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Twentyetwo, a red letter day in the lives of many a boy and girl, that the Class of '26 first entered Woodward High. This class predestined to make a name for itself and stamp its history indelibly upon the annals of Woodward, entered upon this new held of learning with the deter- mination to make good at all cost. It was difhcult to disregard the looks of disdain and contempt of the cold and haughty upperegraders, but with its goal in view the Class of ,26 kept its course, undeterted. They gradually adapted themselves to the modes and manners of Woodward, and everything was progres- sing smoothly When a terrible disaster bc- fell them. Woe is 11121 For. just as if a plague had passed among them, the num- bers of the class decreased, and the Princi- pal's only verdict was. Destroyed by the midvyear examinations. But of those that successfully escaped this terrible calamity let it be said that they finished the first year of their high school career with due credit. Incidentally this was the first year that our present Principal, Mr. Jones, hlled this office. The summer of l23 passed. Oh, how short it seemed, and the class reassembled in Woodward. Again was their number decreased, for, unable to keep the pace. many students dropped out along the roadside, leaving only the fittest surviving to push on to the goal. This sad mishap was almost unnoticed by the survivors. however. due to the knowledge that they were upper-classmen and no longer were to be disdained, but instead, the disdain- ersW Moreover, by this time, they were thoroughly acquainted with the school and began to play active parts in all the school activities. Already many of them had se- cured positions on various athletic teams. thus adding their efforts to win additional honor and glory for the school. Time passed rapidly and for a second time they were confronted by the exams, Most of them again managed to evade the clutch of that besom of de- struction and continued their drive on- ward. The Spanish Play, an enjoyable success, was given and then came the most memorable event of the Sophomore year, the C Grade Dance The only things that can be said about the dance are. ltMany new acquaintances were made and a good time was had by all. That year also saw the introduction of student gov- ernment within the halls of Woodward. The success of that plan is readily shown by the fact that the same system exists at the present time. The Sophomore year swiftly ended and a much-needed vacation was gained. The summer passed rapidly, the Class of '26 returned to Woodward and school work was resumed, Many events took place in the Junior year that are worthy of note. The Dra- matic Club, with the aid of a few members of the Class of 26, gave a play which was an acknowledged success. Then came the athletic events in which Woodward, with the aid of many B Graders, although not so fortunate in Football, succeeded in win- Page 23 ning the Basketball and Baseball Cham- pionships and in tying Withrow High for first place in Swimming. Moreover, quite a few of Woodwardls worthy athletes, some, members of the Class of l26. secured positions on the All Cincinnati Athletic Teams. Naturally all these achievements and the honors therefrom were given to the Class of '25, but let it never be for- gotten that the Class of '26 aided in everything and should be considered in- strumental in bringing about such success- ful results. Meanwhile the llMid-years had approached and passed and then B Grade class officers and Oracle executives were elected. This, in turn, was followed by the AeB and BrA Dances, both unani- mous successes. Thus passed the Junior year of the Class of '26. Then came the moment when their am- bitions. built when Freshmen, were ful- filled. They were Mighty Seniors. Ah: what a different aspect life had taken. However, this momentary wave of equ- tation soon passed over and left the stu- dents with the realization that if they wanted to graduate they must work. With their goal almost in sight, they set mighty shoulders to the wheel, leaving nothing undone in their eEorts to make good. That the Class of i26 was successful and is a credit to Woodward can readily be seen by scanning some of its accom- plishments. The football team fought valiantly though without success, and due credit should be given for their staunch effort. The football defeat was followed by the sweeping victory of the basketball team which did not lose a game in the race for the city championship. This, in turn, was followed by the suc- cessful swimming team which secured an- other cup for Woodward The baseball team has not yet had op- portunity to show its worth; but unless a serious mishap occurs, it is likely that the championship of the Cincinnati High Schools will be captured by the Big Blue Team. The Oracle, edited by the A Grade under the staff advisor, Miss Dudley, suc- ceeded in taking second place in Journale ism in the State of Ohio. It is a maga- zine well worth reading and shows the literary ability of the students at Wood- ward. The Dramatic Club gave a play entitled HThe Trysting Place, which was very enjoyable and so pronounced by all who saw it A Pageant, depicting all the school ac- tivities and departments, was promoted during the year and was recognized as the most successful event of its kind ever given at Woodward. Then came one of the most enjoyable events of the Senior year, the Spring Ba- zaar, or Kayama. The whole affair, in4 cluding all the side shows and special features, was both a hnancial and social success and a source of amusement to all. Quite a few dances. among which were the A-B, B-A, and Athletic Dances, were held, affording much enjoyment and satis- faction. This, in brief, is a chronicle of the Class of '26. We can readily see that such a class would naturally set a high standard which would be a source of inspiration to those that follow them. And it is clearly evident that such a class, remaining true to Woodward's ideals, will make the world stronger and richer by its presence, MILTON CRIGGER, '26 Page 2 4 Arthur Arns George Aprile William Atkinson ARTHUR ARNS , BEATRICE ADAMS Commercial General Thy purpose firm is equal to the deed. iiA merry maid, happy as the day is long.

ROSE AUSTRIAN, e26 Page 5 8 Nam m T was one of those nights when we are not sure whether winter is going or if summer is coming It was spring- time, but in the air there was that pleasant crispness, or even chill. that suggested both an open window and an open fire. It was in front of the latter that I was sitting. and it was no small affair of meager coals or deceitful gas logs, but a great generous fire of wood. Its hickering flames caused the wall to become painted with dancing grotesque figures which seemed to stretch forth hands that put me under a kind of hypnotic spell, I gazed into the glowing depths of the fire and, my imagination running riot, I builded a bridge of fancy. one end of which rested on a silver abut- ment marked 1926. and the other on a golden pier inscribed 1940. As can be guessed, my thoughts were on my school- mates, and I wondered what they would be doing by the time the year 1940 came along. Spellbound, the fire held me Slowly the bridge vanished until only a red haze was before my eyes Then through the mist I saw something appearing. and lo. the world spread before me. Slowly it grew in size as it revolved. Familiar faces I saw, faces of my former classmates. Here was one working in a great city: there one in the country, another was crossing the trackless wastes of a great desert; another. beating his way through an impenetrable jungle. On the sea I saw them. captains of merchantmen, ofIicets aboard huge, powerful ships of war, owners of beauti- ful yachts. In the distance I saw a great airship approaching and on board I was glad to see the persons with whom I had PROPHECY gone to school years before. As it passed before me, it turned its nose toward the north, and I wondered if it was going on a polar expedition or whether it was carry- ing summer-stricken persons up north to the summer resorts on the shores of Greenland. Before me unrolled the broad expanses of China and over its bleak des- erts I could see an expedition Winding its way, an expedition made up of Wood- ward graduates of nineteen twenty-six, searching for fossils and the remains of ancient peoples who had inhabited these regions countless years before. All these and more I saw as the earth passed before me, and at every corner could be seen familiar faces of former classmates Work- ing at their occupations, striving to do their work as well as they had been taught to do While in school. Here and there I saw a boy who I remembered took the In- dustrial Arts course in Woodward. His knowledge of everything in particular had helped him in making his way. His knowledge of certain mechanics and his studies have blended together and he had an idea of both sides of every question which came before him. In some places I recognized former classmates who had taken the General Course. Doctors lawyers, business men of every description, they had turned out to be. men who had become famous and powerful in the world of thought and in- dustry. Again I saw someone of the Com- mercial Course. A little farther on I saw another, and then. still another. Their typewriters clicked noisily as they wrote the business of the World. Down through Page 59 Wall Street in New York City they sat in high office buildings, some brokers. others bankers, others expert accountants. Then I saw those who had been taught to live by their hands, the boys and girls of the Co-operative Coursest Willing, in- dustrious workers, they were. Most of them had worked themselves up to mane agerships and presidents of great con- cerns. They had started at the bottom and had gone to the top of the ladder of success on account of understanding thoru oughly the work by which they had chosen to make a living, In the great cities I saw them, those who had taken the Music Course. Musi- cians, thrilling the world with the voice of the heart, ever studying, ever practicing to become more prohcient in their art. At great concerts they sang and played, fa- mous forever. Then. lastly, in the great art galleries of the world. I saw paintings hung. and at the bottom of each one I recognized the name of a fellow graduate. They had taken the Art Course. They had resolved to preserve the beauties of the world on canvas. to devote themselves to the paint- ing of nature and the human form. to become famous and heppy in their pursuit of greatness. Thus, the forms of the graduating class of nineteen twenty-six were spread before me, each one carrying on his allotted work. striving for the best in manhood. glorify- ing the class and school from which they were graduated. High ideals had they at- tained, and they stood at the apex of the world in sportsmanship, trustworthiness, and loyalty. All hail to the class of nine- teen twenty-six. 2: $ ak Are you disappointed because I have not prophesied glory and fame for each individual member of the class? What need is there of such a prophecy when everyone has an objective before him for which he is striving? Why prophesy in- dividually when we are all trying to- gether to reach places of honor and use- fulness? Are we not all working together for the common interests of man? Why, then, not prophesy for the group rather than for the individual? I have written a prophecy for our Graduating Class, but our own Long- fellow, in that delightful but little-read poem, UThe Clock on the Stairs, has given us both a history and a prophecy for this and for every other class that ever was or ever will be graduated. Do you want it for your own? Listen: All are scattered now, and fled: Some are married, some are dead. And When I ask with throbs of pain. Ah! when shall they all meet again As in the days long since gone by? This ancient time-piece makes reply. The horologe of eternity Saith this incessantly: 'Never, forever. forever, never.'

We also entrust to all Wood- wardites the sacred and binding duty of editing and publishing The Oracle, and of maintaining its present high standing. ITEM VI. To our beloved principals and teachers, who have taught us enough to make us know that we know little, We leave our deepest appreciation. We do further hereby declare that the foregoing bequests shall be in full force and effect, only upon the legatees thereof fulfllling the following conditions: go That the Class of l27 faithfully execute the high duties and obligations accruing to Seniors, especially the oflice of the Talisman. thy That the Class of '28 be humble and wellesatisfted in their position as Juniors, not daring to overstep the bounds which the Seniors will have outlined for them. m That the Class of '29, being wrapped in foolish wisdom and being ob- livious of their former state, may not un- duly intimidate or aEright the young minds so lately come into their midst. tdl That the Class of '30 employ every inherent faculty and take advan- tage of every opportunity presented, to make themselves physically, mentally and morally strong.

It is true that some of our report cards blushed for shame, but most of us came through with flying colotst The following fall, the Class of '27 once more entered Woodward's portals, decreased in number, but fired With ambi- tion and determination.

We contributed enthusiastically to all school activities, and a goodly number of us starred where once we had been mere spectatorst In this year exams did not seem so terrifying; we were getting used to them. Then came the C-Gradeldance, at which many friendships were made; friendships which would last a lifetime. The year quickly passed, the majority of us finishing the term. Vacation over, September 12, 1925. found the Class of '27 again united. We were now Juniors. We scarcely noticed the Sophomores. and as for the Freshmen. we gave them a motherbs care. Once again we resumed our work. We were given the A-Gtade dance by the Seniors and paid our obligation with the B-A dance Both dances were successes, not so much from a terpsichorean standpoint as from a social. Both classes became bet ter acquainted at this dance. While the Seniors were busy preparing for college examinations and graduation, we were engaged in the task of electing officers who would direct our Senior ac- tivities. The accomplishments of the Class of '27 have been many, and by pluck and perseverence we hope to continue our good work and possibly improve upon our predecessors. We Wish to make the Seniors of '27 a red-Ietter class and this can be done by living up to the Woodward ideals and the Woodward motto. Esse quam Uia'eri. HELENE COOK. t2? Page 6 5 avg f. .

ES, and a plucky lot of little Freshies We were, going up the down stairs and going down the iiup stairs, late to class, and so on. Though we were green and made such mistakes, we smiled through them all and at the upper classmen when they teased us, and evene worst of allhthrough the exams. Out smile was very broad indeed when June came and with it the knowledge that we had become C-Graders. In September, 1925, we returned as Sophomores. Sophomores! How proud we have been of that title! As Sopho- mores we looked haughtily down on the little Freshies and held sway over them with the HIron Hand that was be- queathed to us by the Seniors of '25. All through our two years we have been greatly impressed with Woodwardls wonderful motto, Esse Quam Viderf, and have tried valiently to live up to it and all of Woodwardls high ideals. In this endeavor we are greatly influenced by the wonderful spirit which prevails in all departments of the school. We feel that We are steadily improving. both in mind and heart, and how could it be otherwise, enjoying as we do the great privilege of daily contact with such a company of able teachers. We hnd among our number many bud- ding artists. poets and authors Who have contributed generously to The Oracle. School is much the same as Life It is a game called The Survival of the Fit- test, and when we gaze upon the high and mighty Seniors. we feel that they must be very ht indeed to have survived so long. As we look, we become desirous of improvement and long for the time when We may assume the same title. We grow very anxious as the term nears its close, for we realize that should iiFailu ure instead of HPromotedH be written on our report cards. it would take more than HLaughing Gas, to make our parents laugh that off, We have studied and worked very dili- gently, nevertheless we have not neglected to play and to smile, for Though you search the whole world o'er With the most enticing bait, You'll never find such Sophomores As the Class of '28.

TEDDY BON COUR, l28 Page 7 Z HISTORY W ii Q? l D Grade Class History seven hundred of us Freshmen wane dering through the labyrinthine halls of Woodward High School. lonesome. confused. curious and frightened, looking For our elusive home rooms. These rooms we eventually found and diliidently settled down to acquaint ourselves with our new environment. sEpTEMBER 8, 1925, found about Only after some days had passed. did we follow the regular routine which would be our program for the remainder of the school year. When the newness and strangeness of our life were off, we Freshmen started making friends with classmates, upper-classmen and teachers. Some of these friendships will endure as long as we live. The teachers certainly played the role of the Good Samaritan to us who were always worrying over the many problems which school work and home life had in store for us. Our life was made somewhat harder by the uppermclassmen. who made us the butt of many jokes. For instance, the Seniors. who were the perpetrators of many a practical joke on us, seemed to derive much pleasure from our discomhture. As we grew older and wiser we often turned the tables on them. From the very day on which We were welcomed into Woodward by our Princi- pal, Mr. Jones, we learned to appreciate the meaning of our school motto. Esse Quam Viden'fi Indeed, it is our ambi- tion To be rather than to seem? The history of William Woodward and what he did. brought us into a closer relation with the spirit of the school. This spirit was further awakened when the football season started, Although at the first few games we Were timid about yelling. we soon caught the Woodward spirit, and by the time football was put on the shelf and basketball came forth to replace it, our voices had grown lustier, and we Fresh- men yelled like most of the old-timersi A break came in our regular, uneventful course of school life in the form of the mid-year examinations. To some of us, they seemed an impending disaster, threat- ening us with a deadly weapon which means scholastic death. But most of us viewed them as an excellent opportunity to show what our minds were capable of doing. And yet the good as well as the poor students were more or less nervous and keyed up to a high pitch and did much last-minute grindingi When the examinations finally came, the shirkers found themselves in an inextricable bog in which they had unwittingly been caught. But most of us managed to get through with colors flaunting. And now we Freshmen are looking to- ward June and the probabilities of escap- ing finals, to promotion to the next higher round in the ladder and best of all to drawing ourselves up to our full height and looking down on the despicable Freshies. Yes, We are looking to June, 1926; but there is a greater June--June, 1929, which promises graduation, the foremost of our hearts' desires. But when we become Sophomores, Juniors.

The magazine received a good start in pecuniary matters. The students sub- scribed to such an extent that a record was set as to the number of pupils buying it. These subscriptions and a good inflow of advertising placed The Oracle on a fair financial basis. With this money in hand, the staff proceeded to try to put out a periodical rivaling that of the previous year. It took a month or so for the new staff to get started, but with the co-operation of the student body it soon got the uhang Page 80 of things and everything began to work smoothly. On the first. second and third of Octo- ber, some of the members of the staff journeyed to Columbus to attend the Ohio Journalist Convention held at Ohio State University, in order to obtain some pointers on managing a magazine. They returned with many valuable suggestions and helps in making The Oracle better. With the passing of the months, The Oracle was entered in both the Ohio State and National magazine contests. In the former it took second prize, besides being judged the best magazine in Cincinnati, and in the latter it was given honorable mention, The magazine, outside of being slightly larger, was almost the replica of the one published last year. Few changes were made in the departments comprising it. 31- though a number of new cuts appeared as their headings. The old departments re- maining were: Athletics, an account of the games and meets in which the school par- ticipated: Alumnal Notes, a department which kept in touch with Woodward graduates; School Notes. also running under the headings of School Screen and Locals. a news column of events happen- ing in the school: Science World, a depart- ment giving a bit of science to the stu- dents: Exchange. a review of other school magazines; and the humor columns. They Say. a smattering of jokes and Wise sayings; and Just in Jest, the joke column. The new columns appearing were: The Back Yard of Folly, a column of non- sensities: AnSWerseby Mr. Evans, ques- tions answered in a humorous way: and lastly, another division under the heading of Solomon Says. Several feature numbers were put out the past year, namely, the November issue, which was a combined Armistice Day. Thanksgiving Day and Convention num- ber: the January issue, Which was dedi- cated to the academic athlete, a feature of Which was a page of the names of Blue Ribbon winners, students having all marks above ninety on their report received pre- vious to the issuing of the magazine: and the April or Championship number, Which was inscribed to the Woodward championship basketball team. Another feature of this year's magazine was the running of a serial written by an alumnus of the school. The art work of The Oracle was well taken care of by the art department. Many beautiful covers and posters were made and several clever cartoons were turned in. The students responded fairly well in contributing stories and other forms of writing. Some entertaining stories and poems were printed and at several times prizes were. given away to the writers of the best of these. On the whole. The Oracle enjoyed a successful year. VICTOR WILLIAMS, '26 Page 8 l HE Woodward Orchestra is one of the oldest and foremost organiza- Zations at Woodward. Besides be- ing the first Cincinnati high school orches- tra to play successfully a symphony, it was also the flrst to play over the radio. Its success has been continuous. This year, under the capable direction of Mr. A. R. Kratz. it has accomplished much. Among the compositions played have been the Chinese suite, HPO Ling and Ming Toy? by Friml: Chopirfs Polon- aise Militaire, and the Adagio Allegro- molto movement of Dvorak's t'New World Symphony. Much of the music in the Woodward Pageant was provided by the orchestra. While much of this fme Work has been made possible through the hard work and co-operation of the mem- bers themselves, enough credit cannot be given to Mr. Kratz, for without his in- spiring direction and genuine interest, suc- cess would not have been achieved.

Heretofore Woodwardls musical contribution at games was conspicuous because of its aha sence. But as the Class of ,26 was entera prising. they decided to form a Band. Many obstacles were encountered, and it was only after much perseverence that they were overcome. Suits, prohcient players, and a good director were some of the things that had to be obtained. All students who had the ability to play Were asked to try out; and after a few had been weeded out, there remained fourteen com- petent players. The suit problem was solved very properly by the co-operation of the students. Each student was asked to give five cents to the fund, and soon suliicient money was turned in to outflt the band in a very satisfactory manner. The suit consists of a white cap with a blue band, a blue cape and white trousers. The result is very striking indeed. As for the problem of a good director, Mr. A. R. Krantz consented to act in this capacity. And it is because of his continued efforts that Woodward has a band to be proud of. The band was not organized in time for all of the football games; but with the beginning of the basketball season. it quite naturally had a part on each program. While as a part of the Pageant, it made a decided hit. The Class of ,26 hopes that it has es- tablished a precedent which Will be fol- lowed year by year till Woodward's Band becomes a tradition.

This was not due to loss of interest in student government or indifference on the part of students. Although we held a smaller number of meetings than in former years, Mr. Jones, our executive, said that he called meetings only when there was a matter to be attended to concerning our conduct, or if he had some idea for its improvement, and also proudly claimed that student government had been handled so carefully and With such responsibility by those governed, that there was no need to hold many meetings. But When we did hold our meetings most of the time Page 84 was spent by Mr. Jones in unfolding many workable plans for the beautificav tion of the school or the welfare of the pupils. There are no ofhcers elected in the coun- cil and all have equal rights in defending their individual representative bodies. That our plan of government is success- ful, is shown by the spirit of kindly con- sideration and co-operation manifest throughout the entire school and especially in the corridors and Stairways betWeen classes. Here, as in the class-tooms, there are two mottoes which seem to typify the rule of conduct: HEach for all. and In honor preferring one'another.

Some time in December, Miss Wisenall received an unusual invitation. The Glee Club was invited to sing over the radio at Station WLW. A group of girls broad- cast a number of Christmas Carols. The singing was so successful that the Club has received a second invitation to broadcast from this station. On December 23, the girls spread the Christmas spirit among the inmates of four institutions which they visited ,Lm W The Glee Club was very well repre- sented in the Pageant which was given on Foundefs Day, March 5, and also the fol- lowing day at the Alumnal Reunion. The girls danced and sang a selection from May the Maiden. Miss Wisenall con- ducted the music, Miss Orr and Miss Sauer, the dancing Another matter of great importance ac- complished by the girls this year was the adoption of a permanent pin. Besides offering an opportunity to de- velop one's voice and to instill an appre- ciation of good music, the Glee Club gives an excellent chance for social service and enjoyment.

The club was organized in 1902 and for the past twenty-four years has been enlarging the Woodward art collection. Beautiful pictures purchased by the Art League have been distributed throughout the halls and rooms of the building. Formerly these works were limited to prints and copies, but: during the past few years many original drawings have been Page 86 acquired. Costly Rookwood fountains have replaced the enameled and unsightly drinking bowls. The Woodward MemOv rial Window has been supplemented by stained glass windows placed on either side. We have been assisted in our efforts by the authorities of the Cincinnati Art Mu- seum, who have sent many attractive paintings to us as a loan collection. Many of these were so beautiful and costly that it would have been impossible to purchase them. Special mention of each piece of art would be impossible here, for their number is too great. However, the in- creasing beauty of our building testifies to the activity of this group of workers. JULIUS FIALCO, '26 '-QACH year at Woodward, there has been chosen a person who is to be valedictorian of the graduating class. This speaker has the honor of representing the school at the Commencement Exerw cises. In order to be eligible to enter the contest one must have an average of eighty-five per cent in English and eighty per cent in Composition for three and a half years. This year, in order to save time and avoid disappointments, a new method of selecting the speaker has been adopted. Seven eligible pupils, William Berwanger. Rose Cohen, Marion Darack. Jessie Ep, stein, Karl Hartman, Mary Schiff and Louis Strasburger submitted their names to a committee. This body, after con- sidering the general adaptability of each of the seven pupils. chose three, namely, Rose Cohen. Mary Schiff and Louis Strasburger. These last selected vi'eite per- mitted to write compositions, the author of the best one to be valedictorian of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty- six. In the hnal test, this honor was awarded to Rose Cohen. LOUIS STRASBURGER.

HE Dramatic Club, which was or- T ganized by members of the Senior Class, has proved very successful this year. At its regular monthly meet- ings, programs were given by its members. These were a source of pleasure to all who attended. Our Dramatic Club has ten- dered a real service to its members. for it has been instrumental in transforming our timid Seniors into promising young actors and orators. At Christmas time. a delightful play. The Trysting Place, was presented in Page 88 DRAMATIC CLU Lax CW the auditorium with the entire school as audience. The cast was as follows: Lancelot Briggs, Fred Simpkins; Mrs. Fannie Briggs, Helen King; Jessie Briggs, Alice Wellman; Rupert Smith, Paul Schlueter; Mrs. Curtis, Cecilia Size; The Mysterious Voice, Jacques Hain', Henry Ingoldsby, Louis Strasburger. At our Founder's Day Pageant, the Dramatic Club presented an interesting sketch taken from Midsummer Nighfs Dream, and also the characters of Hamlet and King Lear. The officers of the club were the followe ing: President, Verna Rieman; Financial Secretary. Paul Schluetet; Recording Sec- retary, Gladys E. Theis. GLADYs E. THEIS, '26 DRAMATICS SHADES OF EDWIN BOOTH! N keeping with an age-old custom, the Dramatic Club presented its Christmas play, the 24th of December, 1925. The actors and actresses put heart and soul into the work and their efforts were at- claimed with high praise. The play was entitled The Trysting Place, written by Booth Tarkington. whose ability to create intrinsic situations and characters that are t'different. is well known, The part of HLancelot Briggs was taken by the inimitable Frederick B. Simkins. The female lead, 'hMrs. Cur- tiss, an adventurous Widow, was por- trayed by Cecilia Size, who seemed to fit into the part preciselyt Around these two Characters the plot was woven. In the supporting cast Were actors and actresses of no mean ability. UMrs. Briggs, co- quettish mother of the heart-sick Lancelot, was ably portrayed by Helen Kingt HJes- sie Briggs, the sophisticated sister of Lancelot, was presented by Alice Welle man. In the role of HMr. Ingoldsby, the sly old bachelor, we find Louis Stras- burger; while who should be the young wooer of the erstwhile Jessie than Paul Schlueter as HRupett Smith. A touch of mystery and further humor was added by one, The Mysterious Voice, whose en- trance at the psychological moment caused quite a scene. The scene is laid in the lounge of a southern hotel. The stage properties, se- cured by the resourceful Miss Getzandan- ner, were wonderful. Wicker settees. in- viting looking Philippine chairs, soft tap- estries, ferns and palms, served to create an atmosphere that was indeed appropriate for the ardent love making scenes that were to ensue. In such luxurious sur- roundings. and after such able coaching as that of Miss Getzandanner, the players disported themselves in a creditable man net, and we feel sure that the Class of ,26 has left in the annals of Woodward a play of which they can be justly proud.

The girls are properly chaperoned by an older person. They are out for a good time and they surely have it. During the lunch hour some of them take pictures, some play ball, while others sit around the fire and sing and play their ukeleles. Participation in three hikes are the re- quirements for membership. And any Senior, Junior or Sophomore is eligible. The club is organized under the direc- tion and supervision of Mrs. Bevis and the officers for this year are: President, Stella Maggi; Vice-President, Dorothea Hauck; Treasurer and Secretary, Cecelia Size; Oracle Representative, Anna Eskine.

The small sum of one cent a week is contributed by those students Who desire to do so. The money is collected by stu- dent representatives Who turn it over to Mr. Tate, the treasurer of the association. A board of directors is composed of members of the faculty appointed by the Principal, who is a member ex officio. This board, governed by a constitution. hoids regular meetings and decides upon all cases Which are brought before it. A majority of the board must concur before any money can be appropriated. Page 92 The Welfare Association has not only paid for school supplies and lunches, but it has also bought clothes, shoes. and even, in extreme cases, has paid doctor and den- tist bills. In some cases the money is loaned to the student until such time as he can repay it. In others the article or necessity is given outright. But the ma- jority of the pupils who are aided by this society are only too glad to repay What is loaned to them. This proves that what these people want is the opportunity to get ahead. This being the case, the sup- port received from the student body is ready and generous, and as such it blesses both those that receive and those that give. STANLEY BAECHLE, T26 w SALESMANSHIP g W: HE Salesmanship Club has been a permanent institution at Wood- ward for many years. Each year a club is organized under the leadership of Miss Sullivan, for the purpose of studying the general topic of selling. At the beginning of this school year an introductory meeting was held by the Class of h27 and the ofhcers for this year were elected. The purpose of the Club organized by the Class of '27 has been to inspire in each member a genuine appreciation of the CW hm value of selling in making a success in the business world. Members frequently gave lectures on Salesmanship at the various club meetings. Besides being very instructive the meetings were often very entertaining. Plays and recitations were given by the members. This year has been an eventful one for the club and Miss Sullivan joins the mem- bers of the Class of '27 in the general 30 claim that a good time was had by 2:111.u AMY HANKEN, '27 Page 93 CC HAT which constitutes supreme worth of life is not wealth, not position, not ease, nor fame, nor even happiness, but Service. Nothing at last counts but Service. and that counts always. Woodward High School is the only high school in our city with an active branch of the Needlework Guild of Amer- ica. and we are very proud of this fact. This society was organized in England. The first American Guild, modeled in part after the society in England, was founded in Philadelphia, in 1885. This is a na- tional society governed by a charter and by-laws. The object of the Needlework Guild is to collect and distribute new, suitable and plain garments to meet the great need of men. women and children in homes, 1105' Page 94 pitais and in other places cared for by charities. For membership an annual contribu- tion of two or more articles of wearing apparel or household linen, or a donation of money, must be given. The Needlework Guild of America is non-sectarian, and the garments are dis- tributed to Catholic, Protestant, Jewish and Negro charities. For three years the Home Room girls of Woodward have made splendid con- tributions to this work. In 1924 they gave more than four hundred and fifty garments, and in 1925 more than five hundred. This increase is due to the in- terest of students, for as they progress they become more devoted to the work. EDNA BLEDSOE, '26 m V: g? RECITAL HOUR m sw OT the least important among the N student activities of Woodward High School is the Recital Hour Club, an organization embodying the spirit of music, It has eleven successful years behind it and looks forward to great things. All pupils studying piano with Mrs Evans are members of this or- ganization. The opportunity of playing before the members helps to give each stu- dent assurance before larger audiences. The meetings are held every other Mon- day. This year the club was especially fortunate in having Viola Metternich as president, and Lillian Richman, secretary. At each meeting a short business discus- sion precedes the musical program. Before each selection some interesting facts con- cerning it and the composer are given either by Mrs. Evans or one of the pupils. These meetings invariably inspire the stu- dents to greater effort and imbue them with an appreciation of the line things in music. Once a year, usually in the Spring. there is given a concert which acts as an incentive for all its members. Perhaps unconsciously there exists competition among the students as they look forward to this concert, the culmination of the year's work, for only the best are per- mitted to take part in the program. Al- though such a high stage of musical achievement is reached only after con- tinued perseverance on the part of both teacher and pupil. one cannot help feeling that the energy expended is amply re- warded by the attainment in so iine an art as music. CHARLES ECKERLE. ,27 Page 95 NJ W BOYST GLEE CLUB m cm .Em CW HE Boys' Glee Club got into action I this year with a will which de- clared that something out of the ordinary was going to happen. That will has accomplished its purpose and has dem- onstrated that boys have the voice and the ability to sing. Ordinarily one would imagine that a boy is bashful when it comes to singing, but you should hear our warblers if you want your imagination astounded. In February the question was cast be- fore the eyes of our so-called, excessively modest boys, HDo you wish to organize 21 Boys' Glee Club? This question came to us with a shock, but the impossible often happens. Over thirty boys turned out in Miss Wisenall's room at a meeting, and after due consideration, a regular troubadoursl club was organized. The boysl flrst appearance before the critics was the A-B dance. where they gained much applause. Seeing that their performance was acceptable, they appeared again at the Page 96 Pageant given at the Founders' Day cele- bration, and on Alumnal Dayl They made an entrance into society as an or ganization Worthy of note through these appearances and hope to make themselves worthy of the name The Troubadours, the name under which they were entered in the Pageant, The songs which they sang on these occasions are as follows: All Through the Night, The Bull and the Bullfrog, and HThe Blue Bells of Scotland. On May lst and 2nd. they sang several other songs. one of which was HJubilate, a song With much harmony entwined in it. The credit for causing this awakening among the boys goes to none other than our Miss E. Jane Wisenall. the teacher of singing in Woodward. Hoping that Miss Wisenall Will have greater success next year, the HGallant Troubadours of '25 bid you adieu. GEORGE LINEBACK. l26 $1, W1 BOTANY CLUB m cw Lm W SW HE Botany Club was organized for the purpose of keeping alive the interests of the students in out-of door life, so happily begun in class work. and also give them an idea of the practical as well as the beautiful side of plant life. It especially emphasizes the preserving of the wild flowers, trees and shrubs in parks, lawns and gardens. All pupils in the school who have studied Botany are eligible to membership in the club. It is divided into the different class groups, who have one meeting a month on Friday. The program consists of any recent scientific magazine articles that bear on Botany. Several times during the year there are general meetings of all members. Interesting illustrated lectures on how- ers and other forms of plant life have been given to the club at various times. Each year in the spring, bikes are taken into the country in pursuit of specimens and to study trees and shrubs in the woods and along the highways. This studying of plant life in the open and at hrst hand, as Well as in the laboratory, does much to give a broader vision of the subject and a greater love for it. GOLDIE SCOTT, t26 Page 97 CCORDING to a precedent estab- A lished by commercial students of the Senior class for more than a decade, the commercial students of the Senior year decided that this custom must not be allowed to languish and remain among the things which are but a pleasant memory. Therefore we organized at a very late date. It was so late, in fact. that we were unable to ask for faculty ad- visers, or to conduct any social functions. The purpose of this club can be easily conceived from its name; We aim for more efficient service in our held of en- deavor. Toward this end, we are more than ably assisted by our friend and ada viser, Mr. Garbutt, Director of the Com- mercial System of the Cincinnati High Schools. who performs his work more than efiiciently. He is beloved by all the commercial pupiis for the many cheerful things which he says. Page 98 In conjunction with the social side of this organization, we are kept in close communication with the progress in meth- ods of every-day business. To this end, we put forth every effort, for we must soon be doing our daily share of work in the many large offices of the city. We must proceed with present-day methods. for some far-seeing, philosophical person has said that as soon as we cease to pro gress. we commence to go back. This is indeed true, for no true business man de- sires an employe who cannot keep up, or even contemplate, the changes occurring in the business world today. Our happy days in Woodward will soon be at an end. We of the club have endeavored in our four years to obtain the highest efficiency and for this reason have organized this club that the success of this effort might be realized. WILLIAM H WRASSMAN.

ROSES SCHUMAN, 26 Page 99 LATIN CLUB HE Woodward Latin Club was or- ganized by the Latin students for the purpose of creating a greater interest in the Latin language and of pro- moting a spirit of friendship among the students themselves. With the aid of the faculty advisers. Dr, Senger, Miss Schoff and Miss John- ston, the program committee arranges monthly programs which are partly edu- cational. The members of the Latin Club have found that in the classroom very little time can be given to the study of the life and customs of the early Romans; therefore, because they realize that the more one knows of a subject the more in tetesting it becomes, they choose subjects from that fleld for the club programs. Among the talks given this year were Page 100 some on paleolatry, Roman numerals and the Roman Calendar. Readings and translations from Latin authors are also given by the members of the club. But the social side of the club is not neglected. Modern songs translated into Latin are sung. and jokes and funny stories told At the Christmas meeting a chorus sang HAdeste Fidelis and Little Liza Jane and Oh, Missus Shady trans- lated into Latin by one of the members. The meetings often end with refresh- ments and dancing. The ofhcers for the year 1926 are: President. Isadore Pastor; Vice-President, Ruth Cohen; Secretary, Lillian Young; Treasurer, Charles Eckerle.

Its purpose is to gain a more intimate knowl- edge of customs and conditions both in Spain and in the rapidly developing coun- tries in Spanish America. Since the number of fourth year Span- ish pupils was much smaller than usual. the work of preparing and giving a pro- gram each month was much more difhcult. However. since the fewetnumber felt the added responsibility. each meeting was quite worthwhile. The entire meeting was conducted in , Spanish, beginning with a short business session and followed by a literary pro- gram. This generally consisted of a short comedy, Spanish games. readings and speeches. Earl The officers of the club were: Bold, President; Dorothea Hauck, Vice- President: Jessie Hollweck, Secretary. The members of the Spanish Club have been corresponding with some Mexican sefiotitas. These young ladies are study- ing English in Webster Academy, a nor: mal school in Guadalajara, Mexico. We are writing to them in Spanish and they reply in English. In this manner we learned. and are still learning, more worth- while facts about Spanish life and customs than we could have done by the mere perusal of books. This correspondence does not cease at the end of the school year as might be supposed. but may continue indefinitely. EARL BOLD, 26 Page 10! 8t HE activities of the Radio Club of T 1926 have been very extensive, be- ing both instructive and practical. The purpose of the club is to stimulate interest in radio science and activity, and to familiarize the students with wireless telegraphy and telephony. At each meet- ing lectures on the various phases of radio are given by the members. One of the most important accomplish ments of the year was the installation of a RADIO CLUB siX-tube radio set in the Physics labora- tory. The oiiicers of the ciub for the year are as follows: President, George Lineback; VicewPresident, George Newburger; Secre- tary, Lillian Young: Treasurer, Joseph Potts. Due to the untiring efforts of the faculty adviser, ML McElroy, the Radio Club has made astonishing progress and its benefits and enjoyments are apparent to all.

S Page 103 Mi t2: ' '1VERY man and womanAhas a hobby, Some people find a great deal of pleasure in collecting butterfiies and moths. Other people spend thousands of dollars gathering old paintings, and still others collect stamps. Many people laugh and say that stamp collecting is a child's game. Yet, some of the most prominent men of the United States are philateIistsV Even the King of England and the Rothschilds collect stamps. You can lind philatelists in every station of life. for stamp collecting is a hobby of people ranking from kings to hoboes. Philately has an educational value. Much natural history can be learned from stamp collecting, for there are probably three hundred issues of stamps, from coun- tries all over the world, that show pictures of animal life. tThere is everything from the antelope of Rhodesia to the zebu Page I 04 of Madagascarfj Many issues of stamps are small records of important historical events. It even teaches geography, for, when a person obtains a stamp, he is im- bued with a desire to know the geograph; ical location of the country which issued the stamp. Thus, stamp collecting has proved itself to be not only an interesting hobby, but also one of real educational value. Stamp collectors are clannish and, as a result. a club was organized in Wood- ward High School. The meetings have been regular and the club has been a bene- ht to all members by providing interesting programs and a place Where surplus stamps could be traded. Since the club is in its first year, it looks forward to better pros- pects next year.

Page 105 W WCOLOR GUARD WW HE custom of having a Color Guard was originated in the Class of 1893 and has been followed by the Senior classes ever since. It is the duty of this guard to attend the fiag and to perform those duties con- nected with its care. Each morning one of these boys is privileged to convey the national emblem from its sanctuary in the ofhce to the dignified position over the stairway at the Sycamore Street entrance. During auditorium sessions this standard graces one end of the stage. The banner is carried by one of the guard to the ohice at the close of school. Besides these fre- quent duties are those to be performed at Page 106 extraordinary occasions where the presence of the flag is required. The members of this body are of the Senior class and are chosen for their good reputation, dependability, application to studies and other such qualities. These guards are initiated into their duties at the Class Day exercises when the trust is passed on to them by the guard of the preceding classi The Color Guard of 1926 consists of Stanley Baechle, Karl Hartman and Wii- liam Wrassman. These members have faithfully discharged the duties of this office and have thus far proved themselves to be worthy color bearers, MAX CRAIG, '26 ll DANCES CW i5 ArD PARTY N Wednesday, October 28, 1925, the Senior girls of ,26 held the an- nual Little Sister party in the gymnasium. After an introduction by Clara Leesman, a delightful program foie lowed, which was as follows: Recitation, Helen King: Vocal Duet. Alice Wellman and Kathryn Rininger; Songs, Edith Bruestle: Solo Dance, Virginia List; Reci- tation. Cecilia Size. With the serving of refreshments and the distributing of dainty favors, the party disbanded, but was pro- claimed a big success by all who were present. AaB PARTY Among a myriad of hearts and dainty Valentine decorations the Seniors and Juniors gathered in the gym on February 10, 1926, to celebrate the A-B party. The address of welcome by Bill Berwanger was followed by the program consisting of Songs by the Boys' Glee Club, Recita- tion by Rose Austrian, and a Reading by Helen King. Music was furnished for those who cared to dance and heart games were enjoyed by those who did not par ticipate. As a result, everyone was enter- tained and all were sorry When the party came to a close, ATHLETIC DANCE Our most popularly attended dance, the athletic dance. was held on Wednesday, November 25, 1925. The thanksgiving decorations were indeed festive looking and lent a holiday atmosphere to the scene. Dancing, the leading feature. followed by refreshments. was enjoyed by all, and everyone left with a smile on his face saye ing that he had had a good time. VIRGINIA LIST, '26 Page 107 PAGEANT HE ninety-fifth anniversary of the founding 'of Woodward H i g h School was celebrated by a Pageant. Friday, March 5, 1926. This depicted all the phases of school life. Every school activity, curricular and extra curricular had its place. The pageant was divided into episodes. Episode I, the Spirit of Education, was in- terpreted by Mrs. Evans with the aid of her pupils. These were dressed in green to represent the classics. Episode II, the Spirit of co-operation, was interpreted by Miss Schoff and read by Miss Raschig. The general school organizations repre- sented were Student Government. Stamp Club, Welfare Association, Needlework Guild, Art League, Campfire Girls, and Sagaciators. Episode III, the Spirit of Appreciation. which was interpreted by Mr. Smith, represented the musical and lit- erary organizations: the Band, The Oracle, Recital Hour Club, The Annual, Girlsl Glee Club, Dramatic Club. BoysT Glee Club, Journalism Club, and the Qt- chestra. Episode IV, the Spirit of Applia cation, was read by Miss Le Count, The department clubs presented were the Do- mestic Science Club, Latin Club, Radio Club, Salesmanship Club, and Botany Club. The interpretation of Episode V, the Spirit of Recreation, was given by Mr. Smith. The athletic organizations repre- sented were the Athletic Association. Boys Teams and Girls' Team, At the close of the pageant there was a mass tableau of all the episodes and the song, Ode to Wood- ward. The whole pageant was well given and was the most original entertainment ever given by the school. From the ancient Greek tableau put on by The Oracle StaH, to the extremely modern skit put on by the knicket-clad Sagaciators, the pageant presented a variety of scenes. The Oracle priests, clad in the traditional Grecian costumes of the priests of Apollo, carrying crystals, scrolls and Page 108 divining rods, symbolized Pythia and the priests of Appolot The Latin Club presented Caesar. Cicero and Virgil in all the regalia of the Roman warrior and statesman. The Boys' Glee Club, which was reor- ganized this year under the able leadership of Miss Wisenall. were dressed as trouba- dours and gave a splendid performance. amply rewarding Miss Wisenall for her valuable leadership. Shakespeare was introduced to us in the person of Bottom joyfully wagging his ears, accompanied by Queen Titania, the fairies, Puck, King Lear, arid Hamlet solemnly soliloquizing. The Girls' Glee Club came out Wel- coming Spring, but Spring did not seem to heed their call. The Band, dressed in their blue capes and white trousers. led by Bud Frey, did remarkably Well. The swimmers had great dithculty in breasting the tide which was provided by water from sprinkling cans. Thanks must be given to those teachers who took charge of the different episodes. They may be well assured that their handiwork was amply rewarded The music was in the care of Mrs. Evans, Mildred Hall, Margaret Perry, and Mrs Kratz and the Orchestra, who held up their parts Well. Too much credit cannot be given Miss Getzendanner and Mr. Johnston. Miss Getzendanner for her general supervision of the pageant and Mr. Johnston for the picture which he so skillfully painted of William Woodward landing at Cincinnati with his co-workers. This picture is a replica of the stained glass window on the west side of Woodward and so'closely re- sembles it that many thought the window itself had been removed to the auditorium. Teachers and pupils entered pageant with equal zeal and all contri- buted to its success REBECCA SCHOLNICK, '26 into the , Whtitt'lli m IAHWH BAZAAR HE Spring Bazaar, the flrst of its kind since 1903, was given on April 30 and May 1. On these two days the Woodward building took on a holi- day aspect and opened its gates and doors to the public. Booths of white lattice work were erected and everything was trimmed With branches and Japanese Cherry blossoms. The entire scene had a suggestion of spring and Japan. The warm and beautiful spring weather prom- ised a large crowd. and early Friday after- noon the people began to come in large numbers. Dinner was served in our lunchroom to all who cared to partake. In the evening many came to see the pageant. and they thronged the halls until eleven-thirty O'clock. Saturday witnessed about the same number of people, and so, for both days. the Kayama was well at- tended The greatest attraction was the repeti- tion of the pageant given on Founder's Day. Those who took part duplicated their former success and the audience was very appreciative. The tea room. situated in the library. was a representation of the salon of a ship bound for the Orient. This was suggested by scenery which portrayed the deck and rail of a steamer with the ocean and sky beyond. Signs advertising steamship routes to the East were hung about the walls. and daffodils and other flowers added considerably to the decorations. Tea was served upon small tables placed about the room. The beauty of this place attracted many to it. and we may be assured that it was a success hnancially. Probably the most novel feature was the circus. Animals were represented by students in various postures. assisted by appropriate costuming. The clowns made quite a scene with their antics and queerly painted faces. The attendance at each ex hibition was so large that the show was removed to the auditorium so that the people might be accommodated. Able ad- vertising was furnished by the circus pa- rade. which, with its combination of gayly colored costumes. music and noise, awed the crowd into wonderment. Dressed in gay colors, the players per- formed so well that the success of the cir- cus was assured. From seven-thitty to eleven-thitty o'clock the gymnasium was used for danc- ing. Refreshments were served in the cor- ridors and the admission was live cents a couple for each dance. With the floor not overcrowded and a good orchestra, all had a good time. Among the various side-shOWs was the one of Timothy and Ebeneezet. These two people. instead of being real flesh and blood. were two wooden skeletons which delighted themselves in dancing upon a board. The novelty was an interesting and weird spectacle. Besides these features there were numer- ous booths. The candy counter and hot waffle room furnished plenty of sweets for all. and the candy was made by the teachers in our own kitchen The A Grade girls, assisted by Miss Thompson and Miss Raschig. had a bake shop in the alcove. The wares consisted of cakes. cookies. jellies and other good things do- nated by the parents of students. Other stands. such as the gift shop and needle- work counters. sold many beautiful novel- ties and pieces of fancy work. Handker- chiefs from all over the United States and foreign countries were on sale, The coun- ters were always busy, but during the evenings the volume of business was much larger. Altogether, the Kayama furnished a di- version from the regular routine of school life and was profitable hnancially and socially.

It is never seen on the floor or field. nor is it cheered from the side-lines. But within the last school year it played a game on the first Wednesday of each month without spectators. This team, if it can be called thus, is the Athletic Coun- cil; and as a democratic controlling body of all athletics, it has representatives from each grade. At the beginning of the year Bill Berwanger and Virginia List, presi- dent and vice-president-elect. resigned from the council because under the new ruling they were engaged in too many extra-cur- ricular activities. $0 the present president and vice-president were elected. Among ATHLETIC COUNCIL the council's numerous accomplishments are that. it bought new uniforms. changed the form of all letters, and is at present deciding a new system of awarding letters. The council's adviser is Dr. Rettick. who stood by us through thick and thin. Along With him, Dr. Peaslee, Miss San- ders and Miss Orr also helped the work with their fruitful ideas.

KARL HARTMAN, '26 Page 113 doubtedly one of the most unsuc- THE football season of 1925 was un- Woodward cessful ever Went through. This, however, can be ac- counted for by the fact that the Bulldogs faced one of the stiffest schedules of all Cincinnati high schools. Early in September, after the hrst call for candidates had been made. it could readily be seen that Woodward would be represented on the gridiron by a very green team. Although a large squad responded for practice, there were but few experienced men. and a diHicult task confronted Coach Schwarz of molding together a team cap- able of coping on equal terms with neigh- boring schools. This task was too great and the team fought a loosing battle throughout the entire season. Much, however, can be said in praise of our boys. During the ensuing schedule they fought every minute of each game and always gave the best that was in them, The morale and fighting spirit of those who provided the personnel of this team could hardly be surpassed. Each member of the Page 114 squad deserved to wear the blue and white. Too much praise cannot be accorded these plucky boys, but special comment is due to Captain Bohl. Happy was the main cog in the team and his pep was a large factor in keeping up the spirit of the boys. Those who were successful in earning the coveted W are as fOIIOWS: Captain H. Bohl, Dorfman. Lee, Telecsan. Einhorn. Haas, OiBrian, Wander, Weiss, Linahan, Zeigler. Seifert, Wt Bohl, Craig. Brauet, Nicholl and Manager Reuss. To those who so valiantly and determinedly fought for their letters, but who were unsuccessful in their commendable efforts, great honor is due. The disbanding of the team was the most trying part of it all. Those who put aside the Blue and White forever. because of graduation. gave hearty wishes of suc- cess to those who will return. All being real sportsmen :they took their defeat phile osophically and, in sportsman phrase, are looking for l'better luck next time. ROBERT REUSS. '26 LEA TN w .- .- AIL, Woodward againI History repeats itself. Woodward has again captured the high school has- ketball title. The members of our team. by not dropping a game, proved them; selves the champions for the second con- secutive year. The Enquirer Trophy re- mains with us for another season. and if we win again next year it is ours, to grace the halls of Woodward forever. However, another chance presents itself. If neither Woodward nor Withrow win the championship in 1927. but Hughes or Walnut Hills does, which, to become not too pessimistic is highly probable, we still have another chance for this hand- some trophy the following year. Both Withrow and Woodward have each won two legs on it. The season was brilliant. For Wood- ward there were no outstanding stars, ex- cept for a flash now and then. Early in the season came a bitter disappointment. we lost to Aurora, who had, when they met us, won fifteen straight games. Later. however. we eVened the score when we met them in tournament and eliminated them in the first day's play. There were also minor games here and there, then the real series started in earnest. Walnut Hills. Withrow and Hughes we met, each one a trifle stronger and more experienced than its predecessor, but Woodward met each one twice and each time triumphed. To relieve the monotony of the inter scholastic contest. we entered the Uni- versity of Cincinnati Tri-State Tourna- ment: but Woodward, we must confess. Pagei-I I5 has never been strong in that form of contest. It was the same old story, hard fights all of them and never defeat until the blowing of the final whistle. Tourna- ments may be the real test of a team, but we doubt it. Right before the Hughes game we met and defeated the Strong Covington team which had generally been conceded to be one of the strongest in Greater Cincinnati. About this time we suffered the keenest disappointment of the season. Norwood, on their own floor defeated us. We have no excuse to offer. We were beaten fairly and'squarely. If we had won this con test we would have been without dispute the champions of Greater Cincinnati. Early in March, Woodward entered the sectional tournaments to determine the champion team of Ohio, but. as is usual, we could do nothing and came home de- feated, but happy in the knowledge that we had put up a good fight and played hard The squad this year consisted of the following: Berwanger, captain and for- ward; Welsh, forward; Seegers, center; Reuss, guard; Simcoe, guard. The fol- lowing were substitutes: Epstein, Lina- han, Denges, Einhorn and Garner. Louis Wander served faithfully throughout the season as manager and devoted much time to furthering the work of the team. The success of our team is due not only to the hard work of the individual players. but to the co-operation of the en- tire school. The student body showed unusual interest in the team: they attended the games in increasing numbers and gave that moral support Which is so often found lacking. Too much cannot be said in praise of the work of Coach Schwarz for his un- tiring devotion and constant watchfulness for the best interests of the team. This combined with his able coaching has been a very large factor in the season,s success. CHARLES KLEIN, '26 Page I I 6 HE basketball title being safely un- der our belts and the suits packed in moth balls until the coming year, Coach Schwarz turned his full atten' tion to baseball. The first practice was called early in March, but because of the extremely bad weather, the boys were able to accomplish little, except in the gym. About a week before the first game the fifty aspirants for the Blue Nine were able to get their hrst workout on the Deercreek Diamond. Although weakened by the loss of Schuck and Oester, sensational outfielders from last year's team who were expected to cut a wide swath in scholastic circles this yeat, the team shaped up into a for- midable outfit. With the return of Hap Bohi. last year's captain. Bill Berwanger, of the bas- $ BASEBALL h ketball team; Jimmy Welsh, captainaelect and star basketeer, and the addition of some very promising new material, the team looked equal to the task of bringing another championship to the school. The schedule for this year has been un- usually hard. Besides the six scholastic games, there were games With Hamilton, Covington and Norwood. No matter how hard the schedule, the team has had faith in the untiring work of Coach Schwarz and his record in the past. Due to this good coaching and the fine ability displayed by our boys on the field, the Bulldogs suffered only one defeat and for the second straight year brought the chem. pionship home to Woodward.

HE swimming team again did its - bit toward filling out trophy case by annexing the second place cup offered in the Big Four meets. Although Coach Stecker had practically only new men to work With, he and Captain George Lineback made the team a success. In the first meet of the year, as every- body thought the team to be weak, we were pleasantly surprised When Wood- ward came through second only to Hughes. Those boys showing up well were: C. Distler. second in the breast- stroke; Engleke, second in the back-stroke; Hernadi. first in the two-hundred yard swim; and Lineback, second in the plunge. The relay team also plunged through With a second. The team showed up even better in the second and last meet, in which Woodward clinched her hold on the cup. The boys had noticeably improved, and a few mem- bers had been added. Distler moved up to first place, Engleke kept his second. while the reliable George won the plunge. Those new men who stepped forward into the lime light were: Wilson. second in fancy diving; T. Ebner, second in the two-hundred yard swim, forcing Hernadi back to third; P, Ebner, third in the plunge; and Adamson, third in the back stroke. The relaYeAdamson. Martin. Overturf and Hernadi--again took second. This is a fine showing, considering that Woodward is forced to practice in an out- side pool. FREDERICK B.

This is the silent team of Woodward, for the fellows work consistently minus the cheers and encouragement of the student body and of the faculty. JAMES WELSH, '26 Page 121 HE W Club is an honorary or- ganizaticyn founded three years ago for the purpose of bettering ath- letics. Every boy Who has earned a letter in any of the major sports automatically becomes a member The club has no particular function, but its mere existence has helped to bring about many desired results in the various helds of athletics. In the first place, it has aided in pro- ducing better teams. The club being a select circle causes more boys to try for the teams, and thereby better teams are produced When the W Club was founded, Woodward and Championships had been strangers for many years. but since its formation in 1923, no less than Page 122 ftve titles have been garnered by the wearers of the blue and white. The W Club also plays a big part in obtaining better sportsmanship during athletic contests. When the players of the various teams gather together, and diSe cuss their experiences, they are bound to realize that the other fellow also has rights, and they learn to respect them, The regard for the opponent produces cleaner and fairer contests. Now as good teams and good sports- manship ate the main constituents of good athletics. it is very obvious that the W Club is accomplishing its purpose. and de- serves a place among the important or- ganizations of Woodward. WM. BERWANGER, '26 a t? ' gIIII INTERCLASS DAY LY: Ow. H m, 33 leWflillllllll E good old Class Day was again celebrated for the fourth time in our own big Woodward gym. Friday, March 5. A very small crowd turned out for this big affair, but the few who at- tended had a really good old time May be some of our dear school friends do not know why we have such an occasion as Inter-Class Day, To make this matter clear to the large number who did not at tendwClass Day is a day on which the upper and lower classmen are to be brought more closely together. athletically and socially. On this, the fourth Class Day. a pro- gram was arranged A basketball game between A Graders and the B, C and D headed the program. Although the A Grade team was considered a sure winner by almost everybody in the school. they themselves rather feared they might lose this game unless they played some very good basketball, The Seniors also held in mind the defeats Which were handed the Seniors in the past three years and so again were rather frightened at the old jinx. After a most bitter light the big game ended with the Seniors, for the first time in four years, on the large end of the score which stood 26 to 12. Next on the program was the big race. a relay race. in Which the A Graders again opposed their smaller brothers. This was a most interesting race and also a very close one. The Seniors again were vic- torious, but this time only by a spurt towards the end which brought them to the finishing line about one-fourth lap in front of their rivals. The third attraction offered on the program was a tugaof-war. In this event our little brothers showed us how strong they were by defeating the big A's in two out of three pulls. The victors had to pull with their backs against the wall as they lost the first pull. Then in a very exciting centerball game the champs of the school. the B Graders. defeated a team composed of players from all the other grades. The score was 1 to 0, the winning goal being made in the latter part of the fourth quarter. tBy the way, this game was played by girlsJ The biggest attraction of the program was then offered. the dance. I would say having the dance at the tail end of the program was a very clever scheme or at- rangement, because this would smooth over any of the hard feeling which might have arisen during the day. After everyone had finished Charleston- ing and footloosing tonly when Doctor Redick was not looking or had his back turnedl, the annual Class Day ended, and everyone left the building with a most satisiied and smiling expression on his face. JOHN SEEGERS. '26 Page 1'le m m' 6 EEIRLS BASEBALL $ haw HIS year two indoor baseball teams were organized among the girls of all the grades under the names of the Blue Team and the White Team.

All of these games are interesting as one can imagine with such a crowd of en; thusiastic girls and such an excellent coach as Miss Sauer. ' LORRAINE BRATFISH, e26 Page 124 Page 125 ?

Those girls who have passed the examina- tion receive, on Class Day. an aH-round W. To win a W a girl must have at least one hundred and hfty points. twenty of which must be gained in swimming. This test consists of seventeen events. some of 3f -5 ... which are dashes, apparatus, ropes, poles and throwing. In swimming an endutv ance test is given, also tests for diving. form and under-water swimming. After a girl has received a W she is en- titled to work for her numeral. This test is much harder and in it there is a greater variety of work. The Winning of a W is an achievement of which any girl may well be proud, as it confers upon her a special honor.
