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
