Page Five THE WINDOW THE dismissal bell rang. The day had been especially trying, and as I slowa de' scended the steps, I wondered if it was all worth while. Halfway down, I stopped, and mechanically glanced at the memorial window. Then, in surprise, I looked again. A stray shaft of sunlight had iiltered through the glass, and somehow, the central figure of the window seemed transfigured. Truly, I had never appreciated the beauty of the window before; and as my eyes wandered from the noble figure of William Woodward, standing in the prow of the small rowboat, gazing over the shores of our own beautiful Ohio, my mind flitted over the story of his life. How, as a young man, he had come from Connecticut, westward; how he had bought wide farm lands covering the very ground on which our school today stands; how, through labor and diligence, he had become prosperous; and how, himself childless, he had had the vision of greater opportunity for the children of other men. And through loyalty to that vision, his dream had come true I looked at the five school houses which adorned the border of the pictured window, and as I looked, the window seemed to grow and expand; from the doors of those jive buildings came streams of young people, who poured- down into the great vale of life. And from the central figure came a Voice, which said, Why are you unhappy? What trivial troubles burden your heart? Look through the window and see! I looked again at the window, and I saw that stream of boys and girls from the doors of the Five buildings spread itself over the whole world. I saw doctors in distant cities fighting the plagues of the earth--I saw engineers spanning great riverseI saw teachers in schools and colleges Linravding the mysteries of the ageseI heard the immortal music of great musiciansz saw Clergymen earnl estly speaking the word of God-I saw, in countless homes, mothers of familiesAI saw chemists in their laboratoriesil saw laborers at their humble tasks. And the Voice spoke againee ' siWhat is a manIs personal disappointment? What are heartaches? What is failure? Look through the window of your vision. Will you leave your school and say, II have failed, because I had no courage? Face your difficuIties, smiie, and serve your fellow: men? I came to myself with a start The shaft of sunlight was gone; the window seemed as before, but in my heart I knew it would never again be a commonplace of the school to me. The Spirit of William Woodward had spoken, NATALIE ATKINSON, 29. Page Five OZHQAHDm szxBQOO? PZMmmmm m2:- Page Six FOREWORD THE Woodward Annual has become one of the fme traditions of our school; and as such, it serves not only as a class record, but as an expression of the profound loyalty of each neWIy graduating class to the spirit of its Alma Mater. We, who are the Class of 1929, hold dear this tradition. It has become a rich heritage from the past; and while we of the present benefit by it, we feel, in our turn, the responsibility of holding it to the high standard it has reached in the past, and of handing it on with at least equal achievement to the coming classes. The present Annual is a record of the eventful last year of the Class of 1929 at Woodward High School. But while it is a remembrancer of events, to us who are about to graduate from our beloved Alma Mater, it is something more than a mere chronicle; it is a cherished record of the friendships of class mates, of the keen joy of competition and the pleasant sense of participation, of the enthusiasms, inspirations, and ideals which grow out of a happy companionship 1'11 work and play. To each graduate who scans its pages, the Annual becomes a living thing, an em; bodiment of the glorious spirit of old Woodward. LOUISE DOHRMAN, t29. Page Seven Page Eight DEDICATION T0 the pioneer class of the Woodward Annual, the class of 1903, this volume is sincerely and respectfully dedicated. WOODWARD HIGH SCHOOL N October 24, 1831, the first Woodward High School of four rooms was opened with three teachers and fortyrtwo pupils. This school early became a factor of importance in this city. Of 50 high a character was its work that in 1836 it was chart tered as a colIege, but the high school department was continued, and until 18H it was known as Woodward College and High School. In 1841 another story was added to the little building. In 1851, after the union with the Hughes Fund, the schooi became a part of the great public school system of our city. It was soon found that the three'story brick building was entirely too smalI and a new Woodward was called into being. On January 2, 1853 , the new school was opened. At that time it was the fIDESt specimen of Gothic architecture west of the Alleghanies. The cornerstone of the present High School was laid November 4, 1908A Page Nine x x . 1 MR. MARION L. PERNLCE, JR,, was the editor of the hrst annual produced at Woodward High School, and the president of the class of 1903 which published it. HE is at the present time president of The Procter 55 Collier 00., an advertising agency, whose beautiful plant7 situated on McMillan Street near Reading Road, is one of Cincinnati's finest industrial buildings. Mr. Pcrniceris also a. trustee 0n the Wood! ward Alumna! Endowment Board. Page Ten THE FIRST WOODWARD ANNUAL HERE comes a time in the lives of young people when they are filled with a desire to put into some definite form an expression of certain phases of their experience. So it was with the Class Of 1903, who, like faithful knights of old, their hearts filled with glorious visions of their chosen service, undertook the production of the iirst Woodward Annual, Their labor bore rich fruit, for the pioneer Animal of 1903 was followed, year after year, by the animal of each succeeding class The adventurous spirits of 1903 can feel justly proud of the service which they rendered their Alma Mater in being the hrst class to launch their Kiremembmncet upon the sea of time. In recognition of this service, the Class of 1929 has dedicated its Annual t0 the Class of 1903, and in view of this dedication, the editor of the present Annual re! quested the editor of the Annual of 1903, Mr. Marion L. Pe-mice, J12, to give some account of the work of compiling the first Annual. The request was graciously granted. Mr. PerniceE account follows: Page Efevcu , THE FIRST WOODWARD ANNUAL A few fond recollections by M. L. Pemice, I'm, President of the Class of '03, and Editor of the '03 Annual. THE spirit expressed in the words, If the other fellow can do it, we can do it? as responsible for the hrst Woodward Annual. In the dim and distant long ago of 1903, annuals were the product of universities and colleges Their publication seemed to be too ambitious an undertaking, financially at least, for a high school class. But the graduating class of one of the other schools had brought out an annual the previous year, and not to be outdone, the Woodward Class of '03 decided that it could do likewise and do the thing better. It was a comparatively simple matter to organize the editorial, artistic, and typo; graphical production of the book, The Oracle had been in existence several years, so there was ample experience from which to draw in the preparation of the new volume. Furthermore, the content of annuals was pretty well defmed. So it was largely a matter of selecting for the writing and iflustrating 0f the book a group of workers who could be relied upon to have their respective parts ready on time. But the raising of the money to print the book was quite another matter. Gradur ating classes were much smaller in those days than at present. The number of copies that could be sold was limited. The small edition made the cost of production per copy prohibitive. A reasonable price that the average student could be expected to pay for the book was only a fraction of the manufacturing cost. Of course, advertising was counted on to make up the difference. But, believe it or not, it was more difhcult to sell space then than newt Students who have been soliciting advertisements the past year may not accept this statement, but it is true that most merchants and manufacturers a quarter century ago did not think of ad, vertising as an essential part of business. The purchase of space, especially in a school paper or annual, was considered a donation, and was put on a friendly basis. Our solicitation of advertising was planned accordingly. Each student was asked to bring in one contract and was offered an Annual free of charge in return. But, alas, we had to give away very few books! Page Twelve So it devolved upon a few go'getters of the Aimual Staff to do the job, and many and devious were the methods they used. Typical of these was the solicitation of an Optician, well known in those days, but no longer in business; The boy who called on him happened to be one of the few fortunate members of the clasgiif not the only oneewho had a seemingly unlimited expense allowance supplied by a. doting and wealthy mother. I remember distinctly that he dined on angel cake regularly at the noon recess, while most of us bought a penny Wiener sandwich at the gate This chap was determined to get some advertising space from the tight'hsted optie dam, and he did, but nearly bought out the store in the process. Before the contract was signed, he had purchased enough kodak supplies to last all summen But, try as hard as we could, it was soon obvious that the receipts would not be sufficient to pay for the book. Something had to be done So it was decided to give the Annual 3 beneiit in the form of a minstrel show. This was probably the hrst instance on record of financing a school publication through a theatrical LU performance, but the class of 503 was rich in originality and initiative, though short in cash. The call for histrionic talent brought out so many volunteers that, like most amateur shows, we soon had too long a program But no one who wished to take part could be slighted, and the audience had to suffer accordingly. After several weeks of rehearsal, the show was given and had to be repeated two or three times to accommodate the crowds. Every performance was played to a full house in the old Woodward auditorium, as the students found it much easier to sell tickets to a show than space in an annual. The receipts reached so high a figure that we not only made up the threatened deficit on the Annual, but had enough money left to buy an oEice clock for Major Van Dyke, the school principal. We did not admit it at the time, but the clock was, in effect, a peace oifering t0 the Major who was not so keen about the show, but suffered it to proceed because of the sheer financial necessities of the case. So the first Woodward Annual came into being while its sponsors heaved a sigh of relief, as every Annual StaE has done since and as every one will do in the future. Page Thirteen REMINISCENCES OF THE CLASS OF IO3 EDITOR'S NOTE-Thc following letters and articles were received in reply to notes from the editor of the present Annual Staff to members of the Annual Staff of ,03, asking for remin' iscences in connection with the publishing of the 157m Annual, and of the Woodrumd of that day. The editor was very much gratified by the large and cordial response which came in answer to her request, Miss Louise Dohrman Editor, Woodward Annual. Dear Miss Dohrman: You ask me to reminisce as to the Woodward of my day. IITO you of 29 it must seem far away, To us of 103, it was but yesterday. Shall I visualize for you the men and women, some now gone to their eternal reward, who gave of their lives that we might carry on; these patient, sometimes in, dulgent, teachers, who somehow endured us? Taking them all together, no finer group of educators was given to any class. I must not mention names, but I can not pass over the kindliness of your present principal, Mr. Jones. No doubt the present Woodward is dear to all of you. To us the Old Woodward, with all its deftciencies, cannot be replaced. Something of charm permeated its old entrancegthe brick walks, the halls, class rooms, and auditoriums and the associations that go with all of them--ancl it will live as long as the last member of 1903 survive; Must I confess who it was that cut the wire that operated the clasa bells; who were the fellows who lItookIl cooking and Itcooked their goosesll or geese, as you will, when one of them threw a dish rag as the door opened, believing that a fellow class member was about to enter, and unfortunately struck the principal who came to visit, who it was that lighted the paper in the chemistry class during a KCLOH experiment and caused a panic; who threw the bottle of uChinese perfume under foot and then asked that the window might be opened to prevent suffocation; who it was thate but I must not go on or you will imagine that 1903 played its way through Woodward. Such is not the case. There were in the class girls them, women now, who, like springtime, called to the poets I, too, wrote poetry! There were young men, earnest, studious, able, who have gone on and up, who have taken and are taking their places in making this world a better place in which to live, inspired by Old Woodward, its traditions and history, and with your permission, save only the class of 1929, none has a right to a higher place in the sun than the class of 1903! EDWARD J. KENNEDY, Attorney at Law. bf? Miss Louise Dohrman Editor, Woodward Annual. My dear Miss Dohrman: It doesnt seem possible that it is twentyrsix years since we graduated from High School, so easily can I drift back into the activities of lkOld Woodward. I am once again the happy Senior of 1903, just as proud as I know the Seniors of 1929 feel today. Why not? It is quite an achievement to graduate from Woodward High School! When the memories of the happy times come crowding into my mind, I see so many of the faces of my former classmates, many I have not seen since the memorable night in June when we received our diplomas and really commenced our lifels work. Since my marriage in 1906 I have not had the privilege of living in Cincinnati. My home is in Mount Vernon, New York, just eighteen miles from New York City. Page Fourteen Will you be good enough, please, to extend a cordial invitation to all of my classmates, or I might say, to all of the loyal friends of Woodward, to come and see my husband and me? With kindest regards to all of my former associates and classmates and greetings and best wishes to the class of EL'29 , I am Cordially yours, LULU MOORE KEVAN, 641 Lafayette Ave, Mount Vernon, N. Y. 54V? Miss Louise Dohrman Editor The Woodward Annual Dear Miss Dohrman: t It is most thoughtful of you, Miss Editor, to think of us who twentydive years ago published the hrst Woodward Annual. The class of OS can also claim another honor, for we had a prominent hand in publishing the iirst Oracle. Thanks to succeeding classes, they both live and are better than ever. But to retrospect Picture the old building occupying only part of the block now occupied, the brick and pebble yard, the old iron fence where at recess the pretzel man furnished lunch at one cent per pretzel, and you could have all the mustard you wanted. There was the old yard that served first for a drill and parade ground for our two companies of cadets. We were iilmed once and shown at Keith s theater! Movies were new then and it was some thrill to be filmed. Then came football practice when every tackle meant a massage by those aforementioned pebbles and bricks. It is a wonder we ever had any skin on our faces, hands or shoulders. The gym was a separate building and after practice we removed the grime at an ordinary wash bowl in cold water. Showers and hot water were unknown. The entrance to the gym was our favorite trysting place and there I made my first date with a girl to attend a dance. Dr. P005, who preceded Dr. Rettich, invented a game called Poos ball 010w center balD and the intereclass rivalry was pretty keen during the series of games before the champions were selected. I would like to ask Rufe Maddux, Ed Kammeron, and Ed Kennedy if they remem' her Miss Neff's class in cooking for boys only Those basement walls could tell SOme good stories. Another favorite room was the hrst from the Sycamore Street entrance. It was never open on Monday, for we had a colony then. In the room were statues and figures of cones and cubes, and drawing boards and charcoal pencils. That same teacher is now your principal, and when I went to Woodward he did not have an enemy. I trust the same situation exists today. But years make changes, and many of those teachers, than whom none were better, are gone. Major Van Dyke, how he could make you like literature! Miss OIConnell, Miss Armstrong, Miss Stubbs, Miss Fillmore, Miss Mosbaugh, Miss Burnet, Mr. Brader and Iipap Paboclie. Miss Donnelly and Miss Diserens are still carrying on. Ask any former student and he will tell you that these teachers were in a class by themselves. I am just oldlfashioned enough to believe their system and methods were better than the present ones, and I bet we had a. lot better time, BROWN MCGILL, The R. F. Johnston Paint Co, Cincinnati. QJKZK Miss Louise Dohrman Editor, Woodward Annual. Dear Miss Dohrman: It was a great and glorious success, that 1903 Annualithat is, if you did not count the deficit that our management rolled up and which, like a bottomless pit, swale , lowed all of our monumental Minstrel Show profit. Page Fifteen The llAnnual Minstrels performed for the hrst time that year on March 27, A. D., 1903i Ed Bauer and his borrowed two pounds of iceh as shirt studding oEciated in the capacity of interlocutor, Didn't those bones rattle that night and those tambos tamb and didnt that chorus bray! If it had not: been for the chorus there would not have been a show at all. Looking back upon that scene, one recalls that most popular song, one that appealed to our thirsty souls now even as it did then: Down Where the Wiirtzberger Flows, sung with great applause by one L. Freiberg. But better still was that wonderful ragrtime ditty llWho Frew Dem Chicken Feathers lRound Ma Door? more jazzy than the jazziest noise now perpetrated on the wireless public. The artist who sang the song received as an expression of appreciation a beau' tiful bouquet of one cabbage surrounded by a collar of fragrant carrots and hotthouse turnips. Our boy wonder on that occasion was Milt Plant, at the piano If it had not been for Milt that chorus would have ended flat on its back at the conclusion of every song. After we had washed off the cork, we found that we had achieved at least $85.00 with which to finance that hrst and most glorious copy of all Annuals which any class ever produced, , To prove it, look at the advertisements. There you will see the Smith and Nixon Piano Coi They made the only guar' anteed Music Box; its tone was advertised to be sweet, soft and vibrant like unto a sucking dove. uA most welcome companion in the home. The price, $10.00. Can you equal that in these days? Is it any surprise to us that they called it the IlRegina? Then there was G. Henshaw advertising LlAntique Furniture Reproductions. Does that sound modern.7 Apparently the antique supply had been exhausted as early as 1903, for they were making reproductions even then. I wonder if our supposedly wiser younger generation is being .lspoofed, by the genuineI' antiques sold today WalkrOver Shoes for Men come next at $350. Those were the good old walking days! Imagine a shoe for that price now. Coffee by McCombs was sold at 23': a pound. Think of it! HOur special brand, delicious and fragrantf and just over the page Young and Carl wants to sell you Permanent Artistic Photographs. They evidently suspected that their competitors had not achieved the fine art of making permanent products. I wdnder if some of us wished we had not patronized Young and Carl. 3-! Now we come to the best part of the book, the Annual Staff: z'That was an intellie gentelooking group! Look at those girls with their ten'inCh pompadOurs, and those long flowing locks of the sterner sex! Further on we see those beautiful though not very flattering captions drawn by Pernice, with inserts by Stuhlman, the Hecker girls and Werner, then that silhouetted Cupid by M. L. P. Poor Cupid looks as if he had motheatenwings. Why he should be anchored to windward with a box camera is something I never could understand. That Senior Class! In that group you will find the lovely Della; she certainly must have had six or eight Wrats captive in that contraption called a llpompadourh which she wears. There you will also find Ed, the busiest business manager the Oracle ever had, and below him Stan, an erudite Greek with a silvery voice. Further on is a musician of note, our beloved Irene. I wonder if her fingers still shame the ivory keys o'er which they danced so lightly A little further along we see charming Alice, Anna, and Daisy. What a fine looking lot of girls and how their starched collars and shirtwaists must have annoyed them! Of course we had a picture of the Athletic Committee. What Annual is comr plete without it? Then we come to the photographs of the teams. To qualify there one had to have long hair and a turtleenecked sweater and shin guards made of quarr ter'inch steel. Men were men in those days! Our favorite athletic song was entitled IIThere Is A Hole In The Bottom Of The Sea. I am glad to learn that the Art League is still in existence. It was founded on December 15', 1902, and I recall with pleasure the ingenious schemes that were invented by us to pry the five cent pieces, once a month, from our fellow students, I under' Page Sixteen l , stand that the substantial evidence of those first two yearsa prying is still to be seen in your splendid new building. Finally, we leap through the pages of mystic societies. The most mystical of all was the Mystic Seven. Seven good and strong men adorn that picture, but what the eighth One had to do with it we never could hhd out. We were inclined to think that that was one of subtlest Of all the mysteries, Then there is that group of young de' moiselles mysteriously called the M. O. B. We preferred to call them the Mystic Order of Beau Catchers. I believe if put to- it I could prove that the original and long since perfected method of Ltnecking was invented at one of their parties. D0111 ask me to go into detail I understand that the girls are all married 110W, but not to any of the objects of their original experiments. I challenge the class of 1929 to produce such a notable group as these their illusv trious predecessors! OTTO STUHLMAN, JRl Office of the Department of Physics, The University of North Carolina CAVE Miss Louise Dohrman Editor, Woodward Annual, Dear Miss Dohrman: As I sit here, twentyefive years after the birth of the first Annual, with this little blue book, a veritable storehouse of memories, before me, reminiscences of these happy school days hll my mind I picture those grim old halls and the annexed gymnasium tused for both athletic and social eventsy, and the faces of my teachers. How many opportunities the pupils of today have! But I doubt if7 with all these advantages, the youth of today can have a more binding affection for their Alma Mater than the youth of yesterday For many of us in the Class of 1903, the last year of high school marked the close of school life, Commencement was the big event, the culmination of four years of active school work. To some it was a reliefito others a regret, but for all there was a touch of sadness in leaving friends, associations, and familiar surroundings. Wishing to have some tangible remembrance of our senior year at old Woodward, we decided to publish an Annual. We were very proud of this first issue of the An, nual, but little did we realize the tremendous effect it would have on future graduates. For those of us who worked on this issue, it has been a tie which has bound us to our Alma Mater forever. Twenty years later, this little book was of great service in helping us gather to, gether our graduates; and upon that occasion it was resolved to present to the school with a memorial in the form of a Rookwood Fountain, which was placed in position on the twenty'fifth anniversary of our graduation. NORMA CORNELIUS STUEBING. Page Seventeen INTRODUCTION FOLLOWING the trend of custom, the seniors 0f '29, wishing to take with them some remembrance of the profitable years spent at Woodward, have published this Ant nual. It has been their ideal to build a book that is attractive, and at the same time to set before their classmates a complete record of the activities of the past year, and to give credit to the achievement of each and every one. It' is needless to say that such splendid results could not have been attained without the unusual patience, sound advice, and cooperation of our principal, Mr. Arthur 0. Jones. Miss Else Raschig, our evervready friend and helpful literary adviser, gave une stintingiy of her time and labor. We can rightly say that only through her untiring efforts and many valuable suggestions have we been able to publish this Annual. Mr. Tate, the business adviser, Harry Strothman, .29, business manager, and their capable assistants deserve high commendation for the splendid way in which they manv aged the financing Of this project. The art work of the Annual was under the expert direction of Mr. C E Johnson1 art adviser, and David inbowitz, 17.9. The many original and artistic cuts have added greatly to the interest and beauty of this work, The staff. is greatly indebted to. Miss Eleanor Schiel 0f the Faculty, and Miss Anna OiRourke, 30, oi the commercial department7 for their constant and willing service in the typing of the literary material of the Annual. It is difhcult to imagine how, without them, the Annual could have come into being. Finally, the Staiir is appreciative of the splendid cooperation of the student body of the entire school. To those who would be critical, let it be said without a hint gf..boa-stfu1ness that we believe that we have put out a good Animal; we realize that we are not infallible and that mistakes may be found, but we have given of our best to place before you an attractive year book that shall be a worthy expression of old Woodward.

Page TwentvaQv-e CLASS HISTORY YEARS ago, when we First entered Woodward High School, we felt somewhat like the Eskimos whom a gentleman had brought to London, He wished to amuse and at the same time astonish them, with the magnificence of the metropolis. For this purpose, having equipped them like English gentlemen, he took them out one morning, to walk through the streets of London. They walked for several hours in silence; they expressed neither pleasure nor admiration at anything they saw. When their walk was ended they appeared melancholy and stupefied; as soon as they got home, they sat down, with their elbows upon their knees, and their faces between their hands. The only words they could be brought to utter were, llToo much smokeitoo much noise mtoo much housesetoo much menetoo much everything, On our entrance as Freshmen into the much everything of Woodward, we were received with malicious glee by a certain band of wild beings, called Sophomores, who, because of their fierce taste for Freshman blood, pounced upon us daily and caused us to suffer much. But strangely enough, after a short time we acquired the customs of our oppressors, defended ourselvesAand our strangeness were away. The Sophomore and Junior years passed without any events of particular note. They went along smoothly, without discord, without strife, without rivalry. But as soon as we entered the Senior year, the scenes changed, At once things began to happen. Mary E. Fuldner was elected President; Jack Rich, VicelPresident; Emma Rieck, Secretary: Robert Sharp, Treasurert The football team was the best put in the field for many seasons, and although our boys won only half their games, they gave their opponents the hght of their lives. In basketball our boys brought home the bacon, winning the Enquirer Trophy for the third time, thus keeping it permanently at the school. The swimming team, though small in number, performed great deeds with Reino E10 as captain. Our Oracle was, as usual, handled in fine style and proved to be a source of pleasure for the student body. Social life inhour Senior year was marked with the usual parties in which the hllive wires of Our Class provided the ufireworks. Miss Doultonls Orchids, a two act comedy presented by the Dramatic Club under the personal direction of Mrs. Trinkle, went over llbigl with the students and incidentally demonstrated the dramatic talent which is present in our Class ' Looking back over the years Of our high school life, we realize increasingly that they have been a source of blessing and cause of rejoicing We are not so puEed up with pride as to imagine that our class will occupy the highest place in the records of this institution: still, we have struggled perseveringly and bravely, and believe we have attained a creditable record. ROBERT HASSELBECK, T29. Page Twentytsix MEMORIES In the thrall 0f searing sorrows, in the light of lilting joy, In the hope of new tomorrows, in the flight of fortune coy, There will fall some little word That will wake a wistful chord That will start a furtivc tear; On the restless tossing waves, on the unfamiliar shore, By the loneliness of graves, by the hearth within our door, Like a pang of newborn pain There will come some old refrain Of the days of yester year. In the rush of fleeting hours, in the mellow calm of age, By the height of mighty towers, by the stretch of desert sage We may note some little thing 7 That will thronging visions bring From the buoyant days of youth. In the light of gleaming gold, in the drab of misery gray, In the wintei'qs stinging cold, in the laughing warmth of May There will come a quickening thought Which with gladness will be fraught From those early founts of truth. In the throes of stormy passion, in the quiet folds of grace, In the pose of fickle fashion, in the strain of fevered race, There will rise a shadowy hand From that far off early land Beckoning from Woodwardls walls. In the call of evlry station, in the sun of evlry clime, In the hazard of temptation, in the flicklring hope of time ' There will be some golden cord That will draw us gently toward Our dear Alma Materls halls HARRY GRAFF, 229.

CLASS OFFICERS IN LIMELIGHT In looking up records, we have found the following facts of interest concerning the class ohicers of i29. Sharonville, Ohio While installing a radio in the home of Miss Emma Rieck of this town, an interesting find was made by one of the workmen. It was a calendar ten years in advance of the present date, carefully marked on a certain day with the initials R.ERJ and the words will takefl Tampa, FloridaeeEver since Mary E. Fuldner, president of the class of '29, has taken to soap box oratory about the country on the question: HWhy Is What Is As It 13? , milch interest has been created in the class over which she once presided. London, EnglandeJack Rich. vice- president of ,29, has aroused excitement because of the winning of a large purse in a pug'ilistic encounter here.

Y.eDon Pennak and Scooptt Denman. cab driverstand - members of the class of i29, engaged in a fight which almost ended in the dismem- bering of both participants.

BILL BEFORE CONGRESS Cincinnati, OhioeFrank Lammers, a member of the class of ,29 and Congress, man from this district, has placed before the Senate a bill stating the forbidding: 0f the sale and manufacture of alarm clocks.

The diEiculty, as explained by the ladies in an inter- view they were kind enough to give, was that choice among many is more dificult than among: few. Detroit, Michigan-eA new institution was founded today by Robert Hasselbeck, a member of the Woodward class of ,29. Dr. Hasselbeck claims the new institution is to be a home for the protection of blind mice. A grateful community feels that Dr. Hasselbeck is filling a long felt want. PRIMA DONNA HERE!

That hst memorable year was spent chiefly in becoming acquainted with the traditions, rules, and spirit which have made Woodward the fine institution that it is today. Along with the seriousness of study came the mistakes, iirazzing, and corrections which were accepted in good or bad humor according to the temperament of the individual. When we returned for our second year, we renewed friendships and started pleaSr ures and studies alike with the characteristic bang which fellow students and faculty have come to realize belongs exclusively to the Class of 30. And now we are Juniors! We feel the responsibility which the holding of this position implies, and that we can manage it has been demonstrated by the way in which we have taken charge and become leaders in various school activities. A closer spirit of co'0peration and fellowship seems to have arisen, and we have a premonition that althoxigh the seniors have done much, much remains to be done, and that will be ac; complished by the alert, wide'awake, and ambitious Class of 30.

GERTRUDE DOUGLAS, 30. Page Sermzy'lhree QM SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY ' WE, the sophisticated Sophomores of this year, were very green Freshies last year. When the exams of 1928 came, frankiy, we were scared npink Some of the sages tboys who had flunked the year beforei in our home room graciously imparted information concerning the nature of the exams to us. Regardless of this information, we were not sure of ourselves When the fateful day at last came. We had been told that the motto of the faculty was, iiThey shall not pass! According to Grammar, shall, when used with other than the first person, denotes determination. There was nothing to do but to brave the attack. This year, however, U929L we approached the exams with the assurance of veteri ans. We had endured them once and could do so again. We were old timers. The Sophomores of this year have been well represented in Athletics. Six or seven of the boys received letters. The class was represented on the football, basketball, and swimming teams. The C grade home rooms have worked very hard for the Welfare and Art Leagues, and have given freely of their efforts and money. Of course, the Juniors and Seniors cannot be expected to do so much because the prices of the shows have been raised and there is no reduction if fellows buy two tickets, which, of course, they do unless they tell the young ladies to meet them inside the show. The C grade of 1929 has tried earnestly to live up to the school standard, uEikse , Quam Viderif and hopes to add to the glory of Woodward in 1930 and i151. CHARLES SCHILLING, '31.

FRESHMEN CLASS HISTORY FOLLOWING in the footsteps of those who had blazed the trail before us, we lone, some little threshies, as upper classmen call us, eagerly plunged into the new life that lay before us. All of this happened during the month of September, the month that all Freshies dread. Finally, after we had settled ourselves, we started our high school career. Day after day we struggled with our lessons. Day after day we accepted tasks with in! creasing courage. Then one day we were called into the auditorium. Mystery surr rounded us on all sides and we wondered what an i'auditorium sessiOn was all about, Our wish to know was soon granted. Shortly after we had gathered in the assembly hall, the laws and regulations of the school were unfolded to us by Mr. Jones, our Principal, and the motto of the school, uEsse quam viderifl explained to us. The Glee Club invited those who wished to use their vocal abilities to join their club; the Orchestra awaited those who had talent with musical instruments, At first we were slow in grasping these great opportunities, but after we got a good start a few of us took advantage of adding our names to the club rosters of the school. The teachers were certainly Good Samaritans to us Freshies who were always lost or being buffeted around by the Big Sophomores. Toward the end of the year we relieved ourselves of that Freshie feeling and began to act like real Woodwarditcs, We began attending the Football and Basketball games, and our hearts increased their beats with excitement. When we attended a Pep meeting we yelled as we had never yelled before. Somehow or other this yelling together made us feel like working with more enthusiasm at our school work. As we combined activities with studies the days soon fled by. The last lap of our first year hElCl been reached, also - the Final Exams! The question now was, would we make the grade? What colors did the last report hold for us? Ah! at last we had these great prophets of our future in our hands, those tellers of tales. Yes, we had made thergoal and were now ready to become C graders in the year 1930. We had cleared another obstacle and were ready to assume more of the responsibilities of school life OLIVER LINEBACK, 121 Page Seuentynseuen 411v FRESHMAN GIRLS FRESHMAN BOYS Page Seventy'eight FRESHMAN CLASS POEM We are called green freshies, ycause this is our Iirst year; Wave even heard it said, EtWhy, theygre too tiny to be here!

But none of these has remained close to the heart of hue manityt Their works may endure for centuries, but they cannot last forever. For these men do not contribute to a state of universal love; and in the final Utopia, when the real Power beneath all life has succeeded in bringing about a true brotherhood among men, there will be no place for their splendid armies, their magnificent kingdoms, and their masses of material wealth, There is another type of 1mm whom the world remembers always; the man who lifts other men above the materialistic to the idealistic; the man who gives the most precious gift that :1 human can giveihis unselfish luhor and service for the happiness of future generations. He is the man who gains for himself not, perhaps, a place in a history textbook, but one who gains the immortality of a constantly growing apple ciation through the fuller lives of the meii he has served. Such a man was our XVilliam Woodward. Ours, because he gave himself to us; to us who are fortunate or unfortunate. to us who are poor Or have plenty, to us of this color 01' that, to us who represent many types of men, to us who represent many mees. William Woodward saw not the shapes of our faces; he heard not the accents of our voices; he thought not of the strange lands which might have fostered our birth Instead, he knew only the need of our souls, considered only our common aspirations, heard only our appeal. for a liner and fuller life So he established this truly wonderful educational institution, and in doing so made it not only a place of learning, but a dwelling place fat that ineffable something which we have named the Spirit of Woodward. The following accounts from various pupils of XVoodward who have come to our school from the foreign lands of their birth are proof of the truth that this high school is what its founder intended it should he, :1 true Alma Mater, a home of learning, welcoming with wideIopen gates and warm friendliness any who sincerely seek the means to :1 broader, fuller life, and to 21 sympathetic understanding of their fellowmen. Editor's Noteirln publithg the following accounts by Woodward pupils born in countries other than. the United States, every ejfort has been made to preserve the original idiom m which they were written. Changes tom's made only when: necessmy for a Clem imtlei'stmiding of the thought. Page Eightyune SCOTLAND COTLANDH The land of the mountains and the floods. 8 Scotland is situated a little farther north than the United States. The climate is much different as there is plenty of rain and cold weather. The country is divided into two parts by a long range of mountains. The North ern section is called the Highlands and the Southern section the Lowlands In the Highlands the population is scattered, as there are no occupations but hshr ing, farming, and cattle raising. The farming is very hard because of the condition of the soil, which is rocky and sandy. The poor condition of the soil is due to countless generations of floods. The people of the Highlands have a language of their own called Gaelic. ' In the Lowlands the population is denser, as there is an abundance of occupa' tions, The most prominent occupation is ship'building. The best shipebuilding yards in Britain are situated at Glasgow. One'third of the ships now used in the trans' Atlantic trade were built at Glasgow. Glasgow is a city several times as large as Cincinnati. It is situated on the River Clyde, one of Britainls main rivers. It is well situated for shipbuilding, as the river is wide and deep and flows into the Irish Sea. The educational system of Scotland is similar to that of the United States, only it is more strict. The pupils are not allowed to talk to one anothert If you are caught talking you are punished Each teacher has a belt about two inches wide, which is used on your hand. It is not very pleasant to take three blows at a time, so order is usually maintained. When I first entered a classroom in Woodward, I was surprised at the privileges that the pupils were allowed. There were no belts; the teacher made himself like one of the pupils, not like a superior, and everyone was allowed to express his opinion. The public schools in Scotland are not as beautiful and as well decorated as Woodward. There are no beautiful halls with pictures hanging on the wall. There is no large gymnasium, there is no lunchroom, and there are no lockers. The pupils of Wood- ward are very lucky. The Scotch people are usually said to be Wight? The money is very hard to get, and when one gets it he holds on to it. This is thriftiness rather than iltightness. The money is different from that of the United States There is a farthing, halfr penny, penny, threepence, Sixpence, shilling, ilorin, halfrcrown, crown, ten'shilling note, pound note, and a guinea. A farthing is a half of a cent, a halfepenny is a cent, a penny is two cents, a threepenee is six cents, a Sixpence is twelve cents, a shilling is twenty'four cents, a ilorin is fortyeeight cents, a halflcrown is sixty cents, a crown is a dollar and twenty cents, a pound note is five dollars and a guinea is five dollars and twenty'four cents. I will now close my story of a thrifty little people in a thrifty little island, with an old Scotch saying, uItis a braw bricht moonlicht nicht the nicht. WILLIAM FAULDs, l9. ESTONIA HEN I was five years old, my family, on account of the World War, moved h; v out of Tallinn, which at that time was Russia, and went to a little Polish town, the birthplace of my mother. In this tOwn we lived for over a year, and then we emit grated to Stockholm, Sweden. In Sweden a new life began, for it was there that I first began to receive an education. But, unfortunately, after my second year of schooling in Sweden, we decided to return to our former residence in Estonia. Just when we came over to Estonia, the German forces evacuated our city, but the Bolsheviks, who saw an opportunity to increase their territory, tried to get possession of it. But Estonia, after receiving aid from her neighbors, won her bitter struggle Page Eighty-two for independence. Just one more thing about Estonia, for I know it will surprise you: the Estonian Ianguage, which is of Mongolian origin, has fifteen cases! In 1921 I entered the Tallinna Juuda Gumnaasium. As this is the school where I sgent a good number of years studying, I shall attempt to describe the school life over t ere. Tallinna. Juudi Gumnaasiurn consisted of 12 classrooms, a. lunchroom, a gymnasium, an auditorium, and a few more rooms of less importance. In the morning, the pupils went to their rooms where they were taught all the subjects that they took tthe pupils over there do not travel from One room to another, but the teachers, on the contrary, doy There are also six school days, and each school day has six forty'fwe minute bells. With regard to studyebells I must say that there wasn't any. We had double seats and occasionally boys and girls sat together. In gym I must remark we were also together with the girls. The Iunchroorn had only rolIs, milk and tea; to the auditorium we went about once a year. On misbehavior on the part of pupils, the teacher would write a note in the pupils assignment book, and this note was to be signed by the parents Before entering the 9th grade, you were supposed to have a knowledge of the following subjects; Botany, zoology, physiology, physics, chemistry, algebra and geomr etry, and history. Besides these there were other minor subjectsi During my last year, I had a program which consisted of Estonian, Russian, German, geography, alge' bra and history. We didift have any examination except before the graduation when an examination is given to see how much, in general, you know. The system of mark! ing is very simple: 4 means good, 3 means medium, and 2 means bad, An average of 3 is required for the year average to pass. If you fail in two or less subjects you can make it up by taking a private teacher and passing the examination. If, however, you fail in one of these subjects, you must take over the whole years3 work. In 1925 fate brought us over to the United States Here, of course, life was changed again. Though I take things as they come and am used to a great variety of changes, I still found here things which impressed me deeply. In the following lines I shall tell you of the things that impressed me most, especially in school life. Woodward High School, as most of other American School buildings, is remark! able for its construction. I could not have imagined a school to be of such a magniii' cent type. With regard to the number of school activities, Woodward surpasses any other school that I have ever attended. But, still, the most outstanding thing is the pepII meetings. We, in Estonia, take just as great interest in sports as do the Amer- icans, but of H1331? meetings we never heard. Well, I suppose there are, perhaps, some more things that impressed me, but cont stantly getting accustomed to a new type of life, they just seem to come naturally, and sometimes it seems to me as if they had always been that way. MICHAEL EPSTEIN, '29. PALESTINE ALESTINE is the country which is mentioned in the Holy Bible, and we know from 1? the Bible that it was called the Holy Land. It lies in the Western part of Asia and its boundaries are the Mediterranian Sea on the west, Syria on the north, the jore dun River on the east, and Egypt on the south. There are two kinds of people in Palestine, those who dwell in cities and the farmers. The farmers do not have the advantages that the others have, and still wear native dress and observe all the very old customs The young people from the villages and from the cities have adopted European clotheseeven short skirts and bobbed hair Palestine is the mother of religions, the Molmnmedan, Christian, and the Jewish. The Mohammedan religion is the strongest, and then the Jewish and the Christian. The Christian religion is divided into Protestants, Catholics, Greek Orthodox, and many smaller ones of not much importance Page Eighty'three There are no religious troubles among the people except during feasts All re- ligions keep their feast days, The Moslemsl big feast is the Ramadan feast and M0; hammed s birthday, The Jews have the Passover feast and the Christians have Easter and Christmas. There are not as many schools as in this country. The schools in the smaller villages are conducted by the government, In the larger cities you will find very good high schools of natives, of Americans, of English, of Italian, and of French. These high schools prepare the pupils for the Freshman year at the American Uni1 versity of Beirut. The differences that I found when I came to this country in regard to schools is that in Palestine the boys and girls do not go to the same schools. Each has a separate schools Another difference that I have noticed is that the schools in Palestine teach with different materials from those in the schools of this country. In regard to the method of teaching, American teachers explain more fully than the teachers in Palr estine. Any graduate from one of these schools is eligible to enter the third year in any American high school The weather in Palestine is very delightful. In summer it is never very hot, just as it is in the northern part of Ohio, We have about four months of winter, Thirtyrhve degrees to twenty'iive degrees is about the coldest weather we ever had in Palestine; Part of the country is full of mountains, 2900-3500 feet above the level of the sea. There are some parts such as Jericho which are winter resorts for Palestine. The ones who live in Palestine like it very much for its beautiful scenery and its line weather, In regard to the food of the people, they never eat anything which is not fresh. Their meats, vegetables, fruits, bread, and everything they eat is fresh. The holy places draw many tourists from all the parts of the world. The most valuable which most of the tourists come to see are the birthplace of Jesus Christ of Bethlehem, the Garden of Gethsemane, the Holy Sepulcher, the River Jordan where Jesus was baptized, the Sea of Galilee, and many places of much interest. BUTRUS D. ABDALLAH, l29. LITHUANIA N the western part of what is now Lithuania, there is a small village with a popula' . tion of about seventy people. The name of the village is Pavvondenawtwo Lithv uanian words meaning iinear water. The name is appropriate, for the village is surrounded by three large and very beautiful lakes. This small village is the place where I was born. Before the World War Lithuania was part Of Russia, and Pa'vondena was under the rule of the Russian Government. The people did not seem to care whether they were ruled by the Russians, Germans, or Lithuanians; life went on as usual with them, so far as I can recall. . Pavvondena was supposed to be protected by one constable who was drunk most of the time. My mother once called him in to stop some card playing that was going on in our store. He came over and calmly sat down and joined the card game, which went on in spite of all my mother could do. The Russian Government partly supported the Pawondena public school, which consisted of one large room in a big house. Inside the room were about a dozen long benches and desks, a teachers desk, :m old'fashioned blackboard, and a cross on the wall denoting the Roman Catholic faith. Before the teacher allowed my sister and me to enter school we had to learn the Jewish alphabet. We did and were then allowed to attend the school. I was exceed! ingly dull as a student and one day the teacher lost patience with me and banged a book over my head. I ran home crying and did not go to school again while he was teaching there. t Page Eiglnyefour Attending school was not compulsory in Russia, nevertheless the children had to go when their parents sent them, which they usually did. The children who lived in the neighboring towns which had no schools and those who lived on farms near Palvondena, also came to our school. The ages of the pupils, of which there were about forty, ranged from six to eighteen. The parents of the children who attended school had to pay for the books and also a fixed tuition fee for- each child they sent. When spring came, many of the older pupils had to quit school and help their parents on the farms. Paevondena knew nothing of the comforts and conveniences that we have here. The people, however, enjoyed life just the same. On Sunday, a crowd of young men and women ranging from twenty to about thirtyrhve years of age, would gather at a house and play games and dance. One of the games they played was iifollow'ther leader? only, of course, they knew it by a different name. Pa'vondena, so far as I can recall, was not affected by the World War. When it started, the only constable we had went away and for an entire week, Paevonl dena had no police protection whatever. After the constable left, there was a small battle between the Germans and the Russians at a neighboring city called Verna. Vorna is seven miles distant from our town, yet we heard the cannon shots while the battle was going on and later learned that the Germans had won. After the battle some Germans came to Pawondena and took as their headquarters the rooms adjoining the schoolroom. I do not recall any bad treatment from them. The Germans made my mother give a pound of butter a week as taxes, because we had a cow. Other people who had oats or other grain were required to give some of that, in proportion to the amount they possessed. The Germans remained about Five years in our town. A year after the Lithuanian Republic came into being, we set out for America. By we I mean my mother, my sister, my brother, and I. My father had gone there before the war. We traveled from Palvondena to Koorschan in a wagon and from there, by train, to Libau, Latvia. We stayed in Libztu four months and then traveled by boat to Newcastle'omTyne, England, where we stayed for six weeks. From there we sailed for America, hrst going to Liverpool to catch our boat, I believe it took two weeks before the boat sailed into the Philadelphia harbor. I think it was on a Thursday evening when we caught our train for Cincinnati We arrived in Cincinnati Friday afternoon and discovered that if we intended to reach our aunt's where my father was staying, we would have to doiit by ourselves, because my father thought that we would reach Cincinnati Saturday morning and had not come to meet us. We got to our auntIs by showing a stranger an envelope which had her address upon it He understood, and put us on a car, and so we finally arrived 1w ANNA GAMZU, JO. ITALY IT certainly strikes a fellow hard to write an account in English of his native country, especially if he has lived most of his youth in a foreign country This is my situae tion. However, before I begin telling any incidents of my country, I had better give you the time when they occurred, It was during the great World War, or perhaps in nineteen nineteen just before I arrived in America. Famine was in every home, ex' cept in the homes of the rich, but they were few. The condition in America of getting plenty of food strikes me very much, for I can remember very clearly the many times I had to eat black bread in Italy, because the government forbade the making of pure white. Everything was limited, A person could not receive any more than just what he needed during; a length of time. But I will leave these horrid thoughts of war which would make anyone shudder. I was born in the little town of Chiauci II doubt if anyone can pronounce i0 which is situated some few miles south of Naples, in the province of Campo Basso. Page Eighty'five It is a small agricultural village, having at the most twelve hundred inhabitants. Each family produced its own food, from vegetables to chickens and cows. Clothes were also made by the family. I can remember sitting on a stone watching men shear sheep. After the shearing was over. the wool was spun and woven into cloth for house use. This I can remember clearly because I, myself, have woven my own socks and sweaters. Cloth making was not all that was done in the family. Each family had to do everything that was needful for the producing of food, and of shelter. Wheat, one of our main crops, was plentiful and was cut by hand, Then, when the hot days came, it was threshed. Threshing wheat was always interesting to me A large, heavy flat stone was tied to a mule which would walk around a pile of wheat. By the action of the mule pulling the stone over the wheat, it was soon threshed. One thing that was grown in abundance was the vineyards. Every house or land owner had part of his ground cultivated in vineyards Wine was never lacking in an Italian home, and I doubt if it ever will be. It seems to me that wine is to the Italian as tea is to the Chinaman. Putting aside the agricultural part of life, one could pass the day amusing onels self by walking through the palace gardens near by, or going through the palace itself where once a high nobleman lived. Many times I have passed hours under the shade of the beautiful trees of the palace garden; but this was some eight yeans ago and I doubt if I shall ever have another chance to be there once more. One more thing I want to mention particularly, and that is that we had our electric plant, which furl nished Chiauci and its neighboring villages with electricity. The power house was built by my grandfather. s It is situated on the top of a hill a few feet from a water' fall, which is some ten stories high. I can easily remember my school days. They are very clear to me. There is one thing I will never forget and this is that we did not have school on Wednesday, but on Saturday. This idea of going to school on Saturday instead of Wednesday may have changed during my absence. However, there is one thing I can say, I am sure, and that is that the schools in America are not as strict as those in Italy. In connection with the school I can remember that while making the second grade, besides reading and writing, we were also taught how to add,'subtract, divide, and multiply in large numbers, which helped me very much when I began school in America. There were but two public school buildings; in one of them the hrst and third grades were taught; in the other, which was situated at another part of the small village, were taught the second, fourth and eighth grades. This was the highest a boy or girl could go. From there, after one had graduated, if he wished to continue, he wuold have to go to Naples 0r Rome, the capital city of Italy, which I greatly desire to see, if ever I shall return, . It is no wonder that I have neither seen or learned much of my native land. Reared in the same town where I was born, I had very little chance to learn anything about my country; because at the age of ten, one year after the World War had ceased my mother, my sister and I embarked for our future home, America, the Land of Freedom The games that were played in the little village that I was born in are practically the same as the games that are played in Americawsuch as ball,te11nis kadie This last game was played nearly every day when the sun shone However, the game that strikes me the most is one that I neither know the name of or exactly how it is played any more. I recall that we used buttons. Manytimes I went to bed without a meal, for ripping the buttons off my coat, pants, waist, or any other part of my suit. If we did not have buttons to play with we used pins If I am not mistaken the way to play the game I referred to above is to strike the button or pin point against a door. In doing so one must throw the pin in such a direction that when it strikes back and falis on the ground it must be close enough to the other pins so that you may extend your hand lengthwise between the pins, touching both pins at the same time, one with the little finger, the other with the thumb. Perhaps these games are not played any longer since the world has progressed so during the last fews years Many changes have occurred. At present it is no Page Eighty'six different in Italy than in any other country of the globe. Many have automobiles, radios, and other recreations of life This I can say is the truth, because I receive news quite often from some of the people who live in the little town of Chiauci, where I was born. , SISTILIO DI SALVO, 130. RUSSIA rIE earliest event that I can remember is that which occurred in the year 1917, T when I was about eight years old, in my native town of Streshim, Russia. This was the year of the Russian Revolution. I can still see how everyone was marching through the streets following the home'town band, which consisted of a violin, clarinet, and bass drum, with a red ribbon pinned on each person, and singing the revolutionary songs. One of these songs was the French revolutionary hymn, the Marseillaise. At that time all the images and statues of the Tzar were broken down. There was a great deal of merrymaking among the young, but some of the older people said that Russia would now be as a flock of sheep without a shepherd. When a child became about seven years old, he was sent to school; this means a boy child, for girls got little education or none at all. When I became of this age, being Jewish, I was sent to llchederll Uchla pronounced as in; Germanl a private school where Hebrew was taught. There were about ten of these private schools in my town, each consisting of about twentyrfive children The school day would start about at eight olclock in the morning; at about twelve we would go home for dinner; some brought their lunch to school, and the others came back and all stayed in school until sundown This was a summerls day, In winter until sundown the school day was as in summer days, but after sundown, after supper, we came back to the school and stayed there until about seven olclock. Since many times thehnights would be dark, many pupils brought lanterns to light their way home at nig t. The schooling was done in the house of the teacher, a man who was paid by each pupil with potatoes, flour, etc, and in winter each pupil had to contribute some form of light such as candles, or kerOSene, by which to teach at night. Most of the teachers were severe and believed, like Ichabod Crane, in the proverb: Spare the rod and spoil the child.1s The things that were taught in these schools were writing and reading of Yiddish, and reading the Hebrew prayers and studying the meaning of the prayers. After the revolution these schools were forbidden, and the Rabbis taught secretly in each house. .1 ?l Now for a word about the Russian public school in our town. Since I did not go to these schools my knowledge of them is limited, but I will endeavor to tell as much as I know. Before the revolution of 1917, these schools were kept up by the batons of the town and they were free. But since our town was an agricultural one, and the peasants lived on the outskirts of the town while the Jewish people lived in the center of the town Ithe Jews were merchants, shoemakers, carpenters, tailors, etc., and had their fields outside and surrounding the townL the attendance at these schools was very little After the revolution, education in these schools began to rise, and many peasantsa children and some Jewish children began to go there. They had to pay the teachers with agricultural products During the holy days and holidays of the peasants, the peasants would bring all kinds of their agricultural products and other things such as wagons of wood, hay, etc., to the marketplace which surrounded their church, a very beautiful structure in the style of the mosques of Constantinople with domes and minarets; and there was much buying and trading between the Jews and the peasants. This doesnt mean that this took place only on these days. For instances, when the fruit season would come, the peasants would bring apples, pears, plums, cherries, all kinds of berries, etc, to sell. And other times when the peasant needed shoes, boots, coats, and other things made by the Jewish artisans, or when he bought this from the merchants, he would pay with his products. Some Jews were itinerant merchants. They would lead their Page Eighty'seveu merchandise on a wagon and would ride out to nearby villages of about twenty to thirty miles distant from the town and would sell their merchandise for the products of the peasants of those villages. A few years before the World War, my father went to the United States, and in 1914 he sent us the necessary papers which we needed to come to America; but just then the World War broke out, and we were left to endure the hardships of the war because then it was dangerous to travel from Russia to the United States. The price of everything went up and all things became scarce. Not only that, we had to endure the dangers and fears of being killed by the Petlurovtzes, bandit soldiers named after their leader Petluroveand other such bandits. These pogroms, although they were not unheard of before the Russian revolution, increased after the revolution. The fear of them itself was often unendurable when we would hear of such and such a number of peeple being killed and often people whom we knew. These pogroms were on Jewish people, although in some minor cases they happened to a few peasants Many were the Jews who fled from their country to the safer bigger cities upon hearing that the Petluv rovtzes were coming, and many were overtaken in their flight and killed. I, myself, was in one of those ilights, after having been visited on a Saturday morning by these bandits and many people having been killed. On hearing that our village was to have been at tacked, again we harnessed our horses to the sled, it being winter, and fled to a larger town; and all the time while in flight the fear we endured of being caught is indescribr able. These events I will never forget as long as I live, especially the first attack when one of the bandits pointed his gun at me when they ravaged our house; After the World War. these attacks on the Jewish people declined in ferocity and then my father sent us the necessary documents and visas, and we set out for America. It took us seventeen days, during the month of December, to cross the ocean because of severe storms, from Libau, Latvia, to New York City; We came to the United States in January, 1923. Now I am mighty glad and thankful: to God to live in a land of freedom and security, WILLIAM RUTMAN, T29, FINLAND iNLAND, the land of Paavo Nurmi, black bread, and a thousand lakes, has a. school F system that is somewhat similar to ours. The Finns have a kindergarten, grammar school, high and university as we have, but their schools cover a different period of years. The small children attend a kindergarten in the summer months, Early in Septemv her the grammar schools open. In the country the grammar school has four grades, while in the city it has six. This is due to the fact that mast of the children cannot go, or afford to go for a longer period of time in the farming districts. Grammar school ends in May in both city and country. After the grade school is the high school. One doesnlt have to complete the lower school's course before entering. He must only learn to read and write 'before he can enter the high school, which has eight grades. One is compelled to study Swedish and is expected to learn German and French. English is optional, and many do not elect it, for it is considered a diihcult subject, At the end of eight years one graduates, but an examination must be taken before one can enter the higher institutions. This examination is given at the capital of Finland, Helsingfors. If one passes this test he is entitled to a white cap which signifies that he is a college student. To be a school teacher, one must attend at least five years of high school and then hve years at some normal school. ' All of the schools in Finland are owned and operated by the state, There are no parochial schools. These are not necessary for the Finhs, a deeply religious people, have instituted religion as a part of the school program, ' REINo ELO, 329. Page Eiglityleight CHINA Y mother was born in Sunning, China. Her maiden name was Lee Mon She went to school when she was six. She helped her family by sewing. She mart ried my father when sixteen and remained with her family when my father came over to America. She taught school for a number of years and then came over when my father sent for her. She arrived at Seattle and then proceeded to Cincinnati. In China every boy and girl had to go to school when they were of age. The boys and girls were separated, each in a different room. The school hours were from eight to ten and from eleven to two. Now in China the educational system is in some ways much the same as that in the United States. The boys play the different kinds of sports and the girls have their gym, nastic exercises. The boys and girls learn a little English when they are in the higher grades. The houses in China were chiefly of brick, stone, or mud. Most of them were one story high, a few being two stories high. The people generally slept on boards with a blanket or two. Their pillows were made of straw. Now there are buildings, in the largest cities, which are ten stories high. The religion of most of the people was Buddhism. Only the old folks and the boys could worship idols. The people take food before the statues and after their adoration, they eat the food, The missionaries are now changing the religion of the people They are slowly turning from their old religion to the Christian religion. My mother changed her religion when she was twenty and became a Baptist. The New Yearis day of China is nearly two months after that of the United States. The people celebrate by hreworks and parading the streets with dragons or lions' heads on. Afterward, when it is dark, the feasting begins. The embroidered silks from China were formerly done by hand, but now some of the embroidery is done by machine. INDIA THE simplest way to begin would he to admit frankly that to do justice to this article is impogsible. Even before I took my quick quills to spoil the virgin surface of a foolscap, my heart was sad. The ideas of reverence and love attached to those who love, and are dearest to me, could not be but melancholy Mother India, once called by the Western peoples The Golden Sparrow, is now no better than what Goldsmith sang about Irefand: TING WONG, Kilt T111 fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates, and men decay. But in the peaceful ages of the past, dead, dumb, and engulfing the real truth of our lives, India was inhabited by a peaceful people, the Ayrians. They used to keep herds of cows, sheep, and goats, and would live on their milk and flesh The houses were none but simple straw huts. Perhaps the vista of the Woolworth building would have appeared to these simple people an art beyond human effort The oldest in the family was the head of that family. And when the iand could not afford any pasture hospitality, the people shifted to some other green pasture. Their needs were simple? They were peaceful, happy, and satisfied with their simple ways in life. Thus, Along the cool sequestered vale of life, They kept the noiseless tenor of their way. Then, quite centuries before Christ, nearing the present, Buddha, Krishna, and Rama, the prophets of my blessed TiMother Land were raised, and sowed the seed of the religious philosophy so well known the world over. As time rolled on, the Page Eigiltylnine life, from its simple seed'like form, began to flourish into stern branches. During this flourishing period, great men like Manoo Samarti, the greatest sage of India, and Kalidasa, the greatest dramatist, and first literary star of any nation, arose. Many of the dramas of Kalidasa have been translated into English and other European languages, and some consider them Shakespeariant In our century, men like His Holiness the prophet Ahmad, and Mt. Nohandas Karamchand Ghandi were born. Somewhere in the middle of the 15th century, Mahmud of Ghazni invaded India fourteen times, but could not succeed in getting her After his death, Babar, the grandfather of Akbar the Greatf succeeded in taking possession of Delhi, the capital of India. Moguls were Moslems twhOm the Westerners roughly call Moham' medansl therefore just and kind: they began to rule as Indians and iinally got the entire land. They ruled India successfully for about four centuries, when the English began to push in uninvited Then, through the wheel of luck or fate, India fell into their hands. India is divided into several states, like the United States of America. Each and every province has its own Governor. Under each governor a legislature of elected citizens of the province work. The Viceroy is like the President here, who .is sent from England every three years. Under him an Assembly of elected diplomats work. So the Government system is more of an English type, but of lower scale. Social conditions are neither satisfactory nor entirely gloomy. The Chief occupation of the people is peasantry. LIA bold peasantry, their countryls pride When Once destroyed can never be supplied. Employments other than farming are rare Education is 40 per cent in- cities, and very little in the villages. The average Indian is as intelligent as any one. Female x education is little. Mainly, two chief religious communities are known, the Hindoos and Moslems. Summer is severe and winter mild. Some portions of the country are sandy, but most of them are green like this country in spring. Present figures in literature are: Sid Mohammad Iqbal of Lahore, the great philosopher and Persian poet of India. Several of his books have been translated from Persian poetry into English prose, by R. A. Nicholson of England Dr. Rabindranath Tagore, the Nobel prize winner, is of Bengal. His books al' most all have been translated into English by himself, and he had been in America several times. Among the prominent women are Sister Navidelta, Begum 0f Bhopal tRuler of Bhopal Statel and Mrs. Aidu, the greatest poetess in English, who is travelling in the States at present and is expected in Cincinnati, on the lst of April for a lecture. Perhaps in my lines, I have been too serious to say anything to the point even The narrative is too dry a morsel to be swallowed. Sometime, if I spare some fortunate hour, I will not hesitate writing another, but on some one definite topic, instead of rushing madly through any alley of the story of India. $$$$$ Having hnished my cruel injustice to my article, I thought I was free, but it was an illusion. Soon after, came the ringing suggestion that I llwrite something about the chance that brought your dust across the Atlantic. 80 I had to start again my tough job of strangling the neck of tenderIEnglishrlamb. As to my own story, my brother happened to live in America for seven years and got saturated with admiration of the American material success in life. When he returned home he found that in our state an hydroelectric system is going to be introduced on a very large and extensive scale. He thought he could secure for me a good place in the work, so he hurried me along to America, for if I had stayed in India the chances of my success were very few, especially in this particular line, for India is not as scientific as it is religious. Page Nin cry To my present schoolmates a casual survey of the educational system in India will seem a pudding, though not Isaucy ! Our educational system, unlike that of the Americans, is not so profound and extensive; as I said before, there is not even, much of it. Until recently there were no free schools, and no local university could award you your DI SCI To describe the system in general, a. lamb or sheep of four or live is entered into this limitless hall of veils and is supposed to finish tearing them off in ten years, there being ten grades in the school, each grade corresponding to a year. Unlike America, there is an examination after every twelve months, and if you succeed then, you go to the upper grade; if not you stay another year tit is crueD. The hnal examination which decides your fate as to whether or not you go to college, is arranged by the state university, and success in this insures your ad; mission in the College. There you put in six years to get your M.A. AHMAD KHAN, S31. GERMANY I WAS born on January 3, 1913, in Dortmund, Germany. This city is about the same in size and population as Cincinnati. I lived there with my parents and a brother two years my senior. I cannot recall that clouds ever passed to shadow my happy childhood. At the age of six I went to a public school which I attended for four years. The subjects taught in our schools are the same as those taught in the schools of America, with the exception of the study of the Bible, to which we devoted two hours per week. The hours of recitation were from eight oIclock to twelve and from one to three olclock, except on Saturdays, when we were dismissed at twelve o'cloek. Our vacation periods were divided into several terms: two weeks each for Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost, and five weeks for the summer vacation. Our first report We received on November 1'5, which covered the first half term, and the final report on April 151;, after which we passed to the higher grade. AfterI had passed out of the public school, I took an examination, passed with a fine grade, and then entered a girls high school to which I intended to go for eight years. To get a high school education, one had to pay a large amount of money each month. If more than one child of the same family went to a high school, the second child paid only half of the sum, and sometimes very good pupils got their high school education free. The best part about going to high school was that all pupils wore caps to show what grade they were in and which school they attended. During the hrst year that I went to high school, .I wore a dark red cap with a green stripe; the second year a yellow stripe was put in place of the green one; and the third year a light red Cup was worn with a red and yellow stripe. As soon as I received my final report, I went down town with my mother to get a new cap, I was very proud to wear it on my way home; but those who did not pass either did not wear their caps for a few days, or bought a new cap in place of the old one. Fortunately, I did not have to do either to prevent others from seeing that I had failed in school. I got along well in school, and my reports showed improvement every time. I had only attended this school for two and a half years; then came the turn of the tide. After the World War, hard and bad times came to Germany. All the money had lost its value, and everything was very expensive Then my father determined to seek his fortune in America. I was filled with joy when I heard I was going to cross the ocean to live in the far'away country, America. Some neighbors had gone to America, and returned and praised the country highly. I was wild With excitement, for we went on long trips to say farewell to relatives and friends To leave school was the hardest task of allt School mates and one of my teachers gave me presents for remembrance. The day of departure arrived On the 16th of September, 1923, we left Dort' mund and went to Bremen Here we stayed one day and left Germany on the Page Ninetyvone rv' . following night. Why the older people had tears in their eyes when the ship slowly sailed away, I could not understand, because I was very glad to go. On the day which was announced for reaching New York harbor everybody was up early, trying to catch the first glimpse of land, but unfortunately we didnt reach New York until seven olclock at night All the foreigners had to stay on the ship until the next morning, when we were put on the train for Cincinnati. We were received by my father's aunt and uncle. The next day after our arrival, they took me to the Sixth District School to a special class to learn English. I found it very hard at lirst, and at dinner time I went home crying, and I told my parents that I would never be able to read or talk English. Boys and girls from all nations came to this foreign class to learn English. Every Monday morning we foreign children had a turn singing the song of our own language. We drew pictures, played games, and sang songs. The school was more like 3. kindergarten than a school. Each day we had to salute the American flag, which I didnt like to do at first, but I soon got used to it. Almost every day we had a little spelling test, and when we got all the words perfect, our teacher would put a little star on the paper. As the time passed on I could tall: enough to make myself understood. iAfter a year I was ready to go to summer schoolewhich we do not have in Germany: pick up some other subjects, and then to go to high school. I had a very hard time in summer school, because I couldn't talk very well; but I passed, and then came to high school. High schools in America are about the same as in Germany, only in Germany the girls and boys do not go to the same schooli I think the students of Woodward should be particularly proud of their fine lunch room, for lunch rooms did not exist in the schools in Germany. We had to bring our lunch and eat it in the school yard, or on rainy days in the class room, After we ate our lunch we would play games or take walks in a park near by. GRETCHEN SCHLESIGER, 131, SYRIA HERE East and West meet;thi5 implies a partial denial of the dictum of Rudyard Kipling, written to the world, in a line of verse, IiEast is East, and West is West, And never the twain shall meet! It is true that the East prays, the West dances; the East dreams, the West thinks; the East broods, the West plays. The Oriental, when he enters your house, slips off his shoes at the door; the Occidental hnds a hatred: for his hat. The Oriental in' quires about the health of your family, while the Occidental directly remarks about the weather. The Oriental is imaginative and metaphorical, while the Occidental is literal and matter of fact. ' These differences have come to pass away on account of the contact of the sons of the East with the people of the West; and being asked to write about my native land I reply thus: The homeland of the Syrians includes all that part of Western Asia. east of the Mediterranean sea, south of the Jaurus Mountains, north of the Sinaic peninsula, the entire easternmost part of the Mediterranean, the mountain ranges of Lebanon, the Holy Land of Palestine, the ancient cities of Beirut, Antioch, Damascus, and the surr rounding territory. All this is Syria. Throughout the ages this narrow strip of land has been a. highway where three continents met to exchange their merchandise, to merge their civilizations, or to clash in war. From the dawn of history Syria provided the battleheld and boats for every conquering empire there was: the Egyptians, Assyrians, Persians, Babylonians, Ree mans, Byzantines, Arabs, and Macedonians, until finally, by the onrush of General Allenby's troops from Egypt, it was wrested from the grip of Turkey and umandatedn Page Ninetyltwo to the victorious allied Powers of the West. . Syria and the Syrians constitute the hrst land and the first people in Western Asia to step within the threshold of our wvcalled modern civilization. Emigration should be accorded an important place in the list of agencies that have been working for the transformation of the land and the development of Syrian leader; ship. It is hardly possible to overestimate the influence which these emigrants, through their return visits, correspondence, and publications have exercised over the folks iiback home. They acted as one of the main channels through which new ideas of social and political relationship have found their way into the old homeland. Another factor which contributed to give Syria the position of leadership which it has assumed in the Arabic speaking world has been the Protestant Missionary fever which for the last century or so has been Operating successfully in Syria. The Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions has today a halfrdozen high schools for boys and girls and about sixty elementary schools. One of the strongest educational agencies in modern Syria has been and still is the American University at Beirut, the capital of Syria. The work of the nearrEast Relief, which in the last few years spent millions of dollars in Syria for the bringing up of orphans, mainly American Refugees, has made that name stand in the public mind today for benevolence, education, and good wili. As to the types of agriculture, by far the most extensive is the dry farming system of grain production. Over half of Syriais total population of three millions are employed directly in agricultural pursuits.

The impression which these mottoes make upon the youth who crowd Woodwardls halls should be both lasting and beneficent, for they strike us as llcatchwords, giving zest to the game of life; they are forceful reminders of the democracy of education; they are warnings against a false view of life; they emphasize good moral character, which is, after all, the end and aim of education. Take for instance the motto, uThere is always time for courtesy.h Courtesy is an invaluable business asset. It is an intangible influence for good in every commercial enterprise; it is the very essence of international relations; it enters largely into the success of our social, political, and cultural life. Courtesy at home, at school, in business, everywhere, is a persuasive force, and it is emphasized as of outstanding value at Woodward. The motto quoted above stands at the entrance where it is not unusual to see a rush of students leaving or entering school. Here is the great temptar tion to jostle or crowd, to push some one out of the way and get ahead, to be, in other words, discourteous. It is at this point that Woodward calls to her sons and daughters to exercise selfecontrol and to think of the rights of others, foreiLThere is always time for courtesy. Or take another mottoe'EWhat is not exactly right is exactly wrongfl We live in a time when many plausible excuses are offered for wrong doing. An act, which taken by itself, is wrong and immoral, is often excused 0n the ground of friendship, sentiv ment, prejudice, or expediency. Woodward would have its students think straight on any moral question, Is it right? Is it honest? Is it true? There can be no middle groundeHWhat is not exactly right is exactly wrong? This ideal is one which has always actuated our Alma Mater, and we are not surprised to find that great alumnus of Woodward, the present Chief Justice of the United States, the Honorable William Howard Taft, occupying the highest position in the judicial branch of our government as an interpreter of the righteousness of law. ' During the last Alumnal Day in March, we saw the oldest graduate ring old Woodwarclis bell, We joined in the songs of thanksgiving; we had before us the living witnesses of the quality of material that went into the human structure of our Alma Materis splendid sons and daughters. We thought of the influence and work of an: other Woodwardite, the Honorable Mayor of Cincinnati, Murray Seasongoocl, and there came instinctively to our minds that silent and impressive message on our walls- If your foundation is right, your structure will stand. Again life is a game, and like every game there are rules to control and promote it, Rules are made to enhance and develop, not to hinder or retard, progress Our athletic coach insists upon strict adherence to the rules of athletics. The body must be kept in physical condition, free from abuse. Food, rest, exercise, mental condition are all very important, and in the actual contest there must be coordination, cooperation, sclfzsztcrifice, team play, and espritedeecorps. There are two mottoes in our boys! gym that bring this truth home to our studenteboclyeiYou can't break training rules with' out sapping your own morale and hYou czuft fight like 21 mun with less than 100 per cent loyalty to school, team, and coach? Paige Niaiety'five Sometimes one sentence with very few words is a commentary on the genius of an institution. Among mottoes at Woodward appears this one-iiQuality is never an accident. This motto is a challenge to hard work and painstaking care. In our great democracy we recognize no royal blood, we know no accident of birth, We have seen orphaned youths of poor laboring parents rise to the highest positions of honor and distinction in our land. President Hoover and Vice'President Curtis, recently inaug' urated in Washington, are concrete examples of this principleASEQuality is never an accident. By hard work, by devotion to duty, by diiigence, by honesty, we can acquire such a standard of character that nothing can be withheld that is our just desert. While our Aima Mater is nearly one hundred years old, she is nevertheless fully capable of meeting the needs of the present, and under her great principal, Mr. Arthur 0. Jones, is capable of adjustments to modern needs. While Woodward has an honon able past, she is not narrowly bound to that past. She is living in the presence of ime mediate opportunity, and she would have her pupils know thistiiToday is here; use it. Not what has been or what shall be, but now is the accepted time We respect and reverence the past only insofar as it gives us hope forrthe present'and inspiration for the futureg'iToday is here; use it. It is to the task at hand that Woodward calls her students. Delay and postponement are alike costly and dangerous. Often a pupil at Wood; ward has failed to graduate because he or she neglected to complete each dayls assign ment at the appointed time; accumulated neglect demanded its price. To such this motto is a warning, iiToday is here, use 1tM But if school days and life in general are to secure what all the world desires, there is yet another principle that must be considered and here it isiiiHappiness is servicefi To do good to people everywhere, whenever we can, or wherever we can, is the one secret of the happy life, Education must express itself in service. The greatest cure for unhappiness is service, and the more good one can do for humanity the happier his life shall be Education is one of the main factors in that service, and Woodward impresses that truth Finally, there is the standard of sincerity and reality that must characterize the graduates and undergraduates of Woodward, It is a truth that is reflected in the sunlight and, arrests the attention of every visitor to this institutionfiiEsse quam videriiiiiiTo be, rather than to seem to be; or to paraphrase it, I would say Hreality and not appearance is what our Alma Mater acclaims. Woodward Would have her graduates go out into the world to be themselves; to be the possessors of the funda' mentals of education; to be thorough in whatever they undertake; to be dependable, to be genuine, to be real. For upon this principle depends the freedom, the peace, and the happiness not only of themselves, but of the world. LUCY OXLEY, 29.

She was born in Philae delphia, January 5, 1837. At the hrst she was a special teacher of mental arithmetic in the schools of Cincinnati, but afterwards became one of the hrst kindergarten teachers in this city. Miss David gave up teaching because of ill health. On Woodwardk Founder's Day, Miss David is always the honored guest. For the last ten years she has begun the exercises by the ringing of the old school bell which in earlier days called her to her studies in the first Woodward High School building. The old bell now hangs over one of the entrance doors of the auditorium In the last few years the students of Woodward High School have remembered Miss Davidi; birthday With appropriate gifts. One of these gifts, a handsome shawl, was proudly worn by Miss David on her last visit to the school. At the joint commencement of Hughes and Woodward High Schoohs on June 15, 1928, Miss David, then aged 91 years, was escorted to the place of honor on the platform in Music Hall by Dr Condom and presented to the large audience of stut dents, parents, and friends. Therefore the Class of 129 regards it as a privilege to set aside a portion of its Annual in honor of Miss Hattie David, who represents in her fine and loyal attitude to her Alma Mater, the spirit that is one of Woodwardh most precious possessions.

Association of any high school in the country, Each year on the Saturday nearest Founder's Day, March 8, former graduates and friends meet at the school, renew old friendships, partake of a good dinner, listen to a delightful program, and trip the light fantastic for an hour or two. At some time during the evening a business meeting is held in which matters of importance are discussed and otheers for the ensuing year are elected The Executive Board for the year 19291930 is as follows: President ................. CHESTER DURR Vice'President ........ CHARLES TERRY Secretary ................. ELENOR SCHIEL Treasurer ................ CARL MEIER Trustees .................. SIMON Ross MERRITT BOYLE A. O, JONES WOODWARD ALUMNAL ENDOWMENT BOARD The Woodward Endowment Fund trustees are elected to take charge of the endowment fund made up Of donations and life memberships. The interest from this fund is used by them to forward anything that would assist the school; For the past few years the interest has been used to grant scholarships to worthy Woodward graduates who wished to continue their education in some higher institution of learning.

Where there is a group of young girls, each having the same interest in good music, what could be more natural than their gathering together to further their knowledge of music and to give GXPTES' sion to the melody in their souls, Just such a group of girls, some eighty in number, has been brought together under the inspiring leadership of Misg E. Jane Wisenall, to form one of the school's finest musical organizations, the Girls, Glee Ciub, The aim of this club, just as the aim of any worthwhile unit, was not merely that of personal enjoyment; it sought also to bring joy to others in the cheering messages of song, In keeping with this idea, the Girls Glee Club has given its services of song on various occasions. It sang at the Teachersi Convention last fall; then, on Armistice Day in Taft Auditorium, the Girls. and Boysi Glee Clubs aided in making the mem- orial service a longrremembered occasion. During the winter, the Girls5 Glee Club was again carrying 011 Wlth its entertainment for the parents of Woodward pupils on Parenrsi Day. When the holiday season arrived, that time Of universal joy and good will, the girls, accompanied by the orchestra, helped spread the Yuletide cheer by giving brief concerts at four institutions in the city: the Altenheim, the McMillan Street Old Peoplesa Home, Home of the Incurables, and the Badman Widows' Home. Of course the Girls' Glee Club is a school organization, and so on December 21 a Christmas program was presented in the Auditorium and was enthusiastically received by the student body. Thus during the entire year this club has tried to render some service to others; and while doing so, it has at the same time brought about a finer appreciation of music among its members, and has served as a means of spreading the fine old name of WoodwardH throughout the city. BERTHA KURZYNSKI, 129 Page One Hundred Thirteen mDAO mmqw .mKwOm Page One Hundred Fourteen THE BOYS GLEE CLUB HE Boys' Glee Club contributed much to the brilliant success of student activities at Woodward during the year 19284929. It was the combined eEorts of all the members cooperating under the excellent direction of Miss B. Jane Wisenall which brought about this most successful season, In the fall, the club contributed two very entertaining numbers as their part of the Parents1 Day program. On Armistice Day, the Boys' and Girlsh Glee Clubs offered two inspiring selections at the Armistice Day celebration at Taft Auditorium. The boys helped to spread the Christmas cheer during the holiday season, again joining their efforts with the Girls' Glee Club and the double quartet. A group of selections was rendered at the Altenheim, Badman Widowsh Home, Home for the Incurables, and the Home for the Aged. The club also took part in the beautiful Christmas entertainment at Music Hall, under the direction of Fritz Reiner, director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra The climax of the season was reached when the work of the Clubs was highly praised by Mr. Walter Aiken, head of the music in the Cincinnati Public schools. His praise was worth the winning. CHARLES SHEAR, 129. Page One Huvidred Fifteen zNMHmMEUmO Page One Hundred Sixteen ORCHESTRA HIS year the Woodward Orchestra celebrates its golden anniversary! For fifty years, now, the pupils of Woodward have had the pleasure of hearing a great variety of the finest musical compositions played in their own school by their own- orchestra. Mi: Van Pelt, our present director, is not only a fine musician, but a man of such winning personality and such excellent qualities of leadership, that the members derive great pleasure from playing under his baton. Certainly, enough praise can not be given him, for it was largely due to his intelligent supervision that the orchestra was able to make such notable progress this year. The members of the orchestra themselves have been untiring in their efforts to make this year an outstanding one for the orchestra, In this they feel that they have in great measure succeeded, for they have received hearty applause and congratular tions from all who have heard them. Especially was this true when they played such selections as The Wedding Ring Overture, Symphonette, and a great variety of stirring marches. The orchestra of this year of 1929 has striven to be an honor to the present class, and also to the Class of 79 which inaugurated the school orchestra. Let us hope that the good work will i'carry on in the years to come, and to continue to add distinction and glory to the name Of Woodward.

Only those taking piano music at Woodward were allowed to belong; N0 dues were required for membership The club was started for the purpose of giving more assurance to those who played the piano before people, and to give the piano pupil a definite goal to work fore Meetings were held every two weeks and interesting programs were arranged. Every year a concert was given free of charge, and any one who wished to do so, could attend. The Club secured pins with the motto, Be natural alwaysf In the year 19284929, the Club was very successful. Mary Barnwell, '29, was elected president and Mildred Henslee, Q9, secretary. Meetings were held every two weeks in the auditorium after school on Mondays. In May a concert, free of ad' mission, will be given by those who have worked hardest during the year.

F011 lowing this fashion, a lively, ambitious group of the Class of i291 organized and elected the fallowingr officersiHarry Schrickel P1esident;Ruth Stopher ViceePresident; Sid ney Field, Treasurer; and Robert Hasselbeck, Secretary. The members of this club immediately put their shoulders to the wheel and began to accomplish their purposes, namely, to promote all forms of dramatic entertainment in the club and to present, in the school auditorium, after the manner of the Dramatic Clubs of previous years, the kibiggest and best play ever given by any of our clubs. Their first aim was accomplished by excellent programs which were offered at each month 5 meeting Then a group of ambitious young actors and actresses, selected by Mrs.Tr111kle,the director of the club and the teacher of oral English at Woodward, gave the annual play, Miss Doulton's Orchids, a comedy in two acts, written by Margaiet Cameron, The cast 111c1uded Adelaide Guilfoyle Mildred Pope, Mary Ray, Henry Hall, Harry Schrickel and Robert Hasselbeckt The play, an amusing story of a sextet of young lovers, went over big with its audience But, in considering the success of the play, and of the Dramatic Club as :1 whole we must not forget the name of the person who made both of these things pos 5113's by her untiring effortsiMrs Trinkle.

Now, men have decided that learning, and even innate intelligence, important as they are, cannot assure one of a successful life. For success hes in the control of one's self, in the courage to face responsibility, in the strength to claim and to be worthy of ones opportunities. So they assigned to the school the duty of Character building. It was this idea of character building which inspired the Student Council of Woodward High School, organized in 1924. This organization has Operated success, fully ever since, except for a. short time during the term of 19284929. It was abandoned for a time so that the school might devote its energies entirely to the assimilation of a new junior group Under the direction of this council, responsibility is placed in the hands of the students, for their own conduct in halls, locker rooms, lunchrrooms, and the auditorium. The representatives of the students, of which the ceuncil is composed, hold informal meetings once a week or every two weeks, keep interest in selfagovernment alive, and contribute to its progress through the introduction of new plans The principal, Mr. A. 0 Jones, presides over the meetings and leads the discuseions. Woodward has faith that its upper classmen and teachers will keep this torch aglow and will transfer the flame of their enthusiasm to all future Woodwardites. Page One Hundred Twentyrtwo ORATORS IT has long been the custom at Woodward High School to determine by means of an oratorical contest who should be the class valedictorian. To be eligible for this contest one must have a general average of 80 per cent for three and one'half yearsh work and 80 per cent in English and elocution for the Senior year. Anyone attending the school more than four years is barred from the contest. In March, when the call for contestants was made, eleven members of the class sent in their names and eight of these, on April 17, handed in written orationst These were Esther Kreindler, Pauline McLean, Lucy Oxley, Edwin Kirbert, Robert Hassell beck, Harry Graft, Henry Schrickel, and Robert Sharp. Their orations were given into the hands of a committee of the faculty, which eliminated all but four of them. These feur were given the privilege of speaking in our auditorium. They were Lucy Oxley, Robert Hasselbeck, Harry Graft, and Robrt Sharp, The winner of this event will have the honor of representing the Senior Class at its commencement exercises at Music Hall. ROBERT SHARP, t29t Page One Hundred Twenty'thrce ART LEAGUE THE Art League has in its twenty2s1'x years of existence done much in the way of fulfilling its purpose: that of beautifying the halls and classrooms of Woodward. A pupil from each home mom is Chosen to collect the students5 contribution of five cents a month to support this work. Miss Amy Schofir is the faculty representative of the League. The Art League has aided greatly in enlarging the Woodward art collection by purchasing beautiful pictures, statues, and many of the Rookwood fountains which are located throughout the halls of the schoolt The Cincinnati Art Museum has assisted the Art League in its efforts by lending to the school for limited periods of time collections of paintings, so beautiful and costly that the purchase of them by the League would be an impossibility. Some of the striking pictures about the building are The Skyscraper, The Remus, and Bridge Buildets, all gifts of the Cincinnati Art Museum. The Bn'dge of Tomorrow, 3. large painting on a wall of the main corridor, is a. very suggestive picture showing the imagined type of building of the future. A picture of Lindbergh, larger than life'size, adorns the space above the entrance of the boysf lunch room. The picture is a donation from the H. E? S. Pogue C0. of Cincinnati. The increasing beauty of our building should be sufficient testimony to anyone that the work of the Art League is progressing. EMMA SCHOENBBRGER, t29. Page One Hundred Twentyvfour WELFARE LEAGUE URING the last ten years there has been an organization at Woodward High School known as the Welfare League. This Organization helps the boys and girls who are in financial difficulty. Such necessities as lunches, clothing, and even doctor bills are paid for by this league. Each pupil of the school contributes, of his own free will, a penny a week for the continuance of the noble work. It is not expected that the pupils who are aided will return the borrowed money, but most of them consider repayment a moral obligation. It is hoped that this worthy work will be carried on through the many more years that Woodward will stand and will prosper in the future as it has in the past The Chairman of the faculty group Which has charge of the Welfare League is Miss Bluma Franklin. - MILDRED HENSLEE, '29. Page One Hundred TwenIy-jiue 7:- NEEDLE WORK GUILD THE object of the Needle Work Guild is to distribute well'made garments to hos- pitals, homes, and charitable organizations. Once a year the garments are collected and sent to the different institutions. The Guild was starteci in England and was established in America by Mrs. J. Stuart of Philadelphia. The Cincinnati branch was established in 1891. A section was organized at Woodward in 1923. Each year the school has sent several hundred garments as its contribution to the annual collection. To be a member of the Guild a girl must give every year two new garments or a money contribution. Representatives are appointed in each home mom to coliect the contributions. Most of the girls of Woodward are members of the Needle Work Guild, as they realize that it is a very worthlwhile organization. The faculty adviser of the Needle Work Guild 1's Miss Inez Kamm.

Several innovations were made which greatly livened up our periodical and produced a marked improvement in it. This fact, alded by the fair response of the student body in contributing stories and poems, made this a most fortunate year for the Oracle.

Page One Hundred Twentyrseuem ORACLE REPRESENTATIVES - ONE of the many problems arising each year in connection with the publishing of the Oracle is to obtain subscriptions, collect them, and supervise the distribution of the magazine as it appears each month. To accomplish these three things successl fully, it has been the custom to appoint one representative in each home room through out the school. Upon the representative rests much of the duty of seeing that the Oracle becomes in reality what it pretends to be, a. school paper. As the success of the Oracle will show, the zealous eHorts and willingness to work of the homeroom representatives have again helped our Oracle to become one of the best in the country; therefore they deserve the just praise which is due them for accomplishing this im' portant work. ' EDWIN KIRBERT, 29. Page One Hundred Twemyeight ANNUAL REPRESENTATIVES EVERY home room has its Annual Representative, the person who secures subscrip' tions for the AnnuaL In selecting people for this work the enthusiastic, depend! able person is :LEways cheseu, On his success depends to a great degree the price of thc Annual-the more subscriptions, the lower the price. Sometimes not all of these representatives are fortunate enough to get it great number of subscriptions, through no fault of their own, We must take off our hats to these zealous workers who make possible, to a large extent, the success of our Annual. ,ROBERT HASSELBECK, 29.

Meetings are held every two weeks, and interesting programs of many varieties follow the meetings These programs consist either of talks, discussions, some form of entertainment, or dancing. The ciub is under the supervision of Miss Lilh'zm Bowie, and the ohicers this year are: Emma Schoenberger, President; Louise Dohrman, VicarPresidcnt; Gladys Roberts, Secretary; and Gertrude Douglas, Treasurer Two dances were given by the club at the Y. W. C.

A year ago this club went out of existence because of lack of interest among the students. Through the CEOItS 0f 11 few of last yezlris members, the Club began knew this year and became very strong. The officers of this yearis club are as follows: Harry Strothman, president; Jiggs Amarant, viceprcsident; Anthony Hernadi, recording secretary; and Edwin Kirbert, treasurer. Thanks to Mr. C, B Johnson, faculty adviser, and the untiring efforts of Mr, Grim, Y.

The Loyalty Club was organized in the beginning of the school year to encoure age the best possible school spirit at Woodward High School. The Club started a pep squad which has about thirty members and expects more girls to join next year, Through the efforts of the members, the school was able to present miniature gold basketballs to our champions. The club encourages the girls to join the orchestra and band, to write articles for the Oracle and Annual, and to t cooperate with Mr. Jones in every way possible for the good of the school. The first year of the club has been successful, and we hope it will be even more so next year. All the girls of the school are invited to join the club next year. The 031' cers for the school year 28929 are: Erlene Wallace, president; Catherine Berry, vice'presfaent; Dorothy Ferguson, secretary; faculty adviser, Miss Ruth McKinley. MARY JEANETTE FOOTE, 31.

Their program centers about the home, of which the fire is sym' bolical. Their gowns represent their ideals and their attainments. The program of the Camp Fire Girls is built around three important factors: it provides activities of natural interest to girls, it; makes these activities doubly interest ing through an appeal to the imagination, which is a vivid trait in the character of an adolescent girl, it works quietly toward the end that through fun and happiness, girls may achieve a beautiful and useful womanhood. The Wo'Hi group, which is active in service and good times, is looking forward to two happy weeks at camp this summer. The roll of the club includes: Francis McMillan, Florence Dieckman, Fire Makers; Myrtle Forgie, Edna Henslee, Nellie McMillan, Mildred Miller, Emma Page, Hazel Rankin, Ruth Scheuman, Elmira Kunkle, Earline Wallace, Woodzgatherers; Bess Bonz, Blanche Marcus, Celia Mascari, Virginia Rohlman, Rose Silverstein, Henrietta Wile hams, Bella Young, Mary Lou Geiselman, and Helen Schultz.

Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores are eligible to membership of the club, the cont stitution of which requires for membership participation in at least two hikes and attendance at one meeting. The ofhcers for this year are: President, Dorothy Achzehner; Secretary, Adelaide Guilfoyle; Treasurer, Dorothy Tuttle; Chairman of Hiking Committee, Mary Sadacca, The club is under the direction of Miss Julia Johnston, :1 member of the faculty.

Home Economics Club of Woodward High School W215 organized some two T years ago by the girls of the Domestic Science classes and has since thrived under the line supervision of Miss Isabel Neff, the instructor. The aim of the Home Economics Club is to promote interest in the home, using the school and its equipment as a means of experiment. The members have had a great advantage this year because of the new equipment recently installed in the House! hold Arts department. l Each year the girls do some kind of charitable work or perform some little service to make the world brighter. This year the Home Economics Club gave a Christmas party for the girls of the seventh and eighth grades, to make them feel a little more at home in a strange school. Did we have a Christmas tree? Well, I'should say so! A great big one and with all the trimmings, tomieven electric lights Did we serve ice cream? Certainly not; not at a Christmas party. We served hot cocoa and cakes. There was much laughing and joking as we played games in which all could par ticipate. As each of our little guests departed, we sent with her a box of homemade candy and a Merry Christmasfl I am sure we all had an enjoyable time even if we did stumble over the electric light cord 0n the tree several times and nearly brought the whole thing down on our heads. Membership to our club is open to those of the Senior, Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman years who are taking, or have taken, Domestic Science. Oiiicers of the Club for this year are as follows: President, Catherine Harrison; Vice'President, Florence Graves; Recording Secretary, Sara Zidman; Corresponding Secretary, Vesta Redmnn. CATHERINE HARRISON, 29. Page One Hundred Thirty'fiue FRENCH CLUB HE French Club of Woodward High School was organized for the purpose of stimulating interest in French. It had been one of the aspirations of Miss Lambour, a former teacher of Woodward, to organize such a club When she retired, her work was taken up by Mrs. Alma Thomas, under whose direction the present club was organized. The following oHicers were elected: President, Mary Leisure; Vice; President, Ruth Casto; Secretary, Stanley Weinberg; Treasurer, Doris Williams. As the year progressed, the activity of the club increased. We hope that through its influence others may be spurred on to become active participants in this Organization. MARY LEISURE, '29. Page One Hundred Thirtyvsix COLOR GUARD THE plan of having a. Woodward High School Color Guard was conceived in 1893, and has been carried out every year since then. Our principal, Mr. Jones, selects three members of the Junior Class for this post of honor. On Class Day the guard of the graduating class makes a formal presentation of the flag and banner of the school to their successors. The colors of Woodward, together with those of Hughes, lead the procession in the commencement exercises at Music Hall. Each morning during the year a memr ber of the trio conveys the flag from its position in the office to its standard over the stairway at the Sycamore Street entrance, where it may be seen by all who enter. In the evening it is removed from this place The stars and stripes are placed on the stage in the auditorium for all assemblies. The Color Guard of l29 includes William Tayc, Albert Pfetzing, and Robert Hasselbeck, a group of fellows who consider it :1 rate honor and a high privilege to care for the colors of their school.

MILDRED POPE, 129, Page One Hundred Thirty-nine Page One Hundred Forty Mg DANCES 3X3 AaD On October 30, the Freshman girls were informally introduced into Woodward society by their big sisters The girls gym was converted into a realistic farm, with surelnuff punkins, cornshocks, nieverything. There were supposed to be no boys present, but glancing around one saw that half the crowd were overalls. Upon a second look, these farmer boys proved to be senior girls minus their usual dignity. The Dr graders, not to be outdone by their hosts, had donned costumes in keeping with the setting, and many a quaint and attractive rustic maiden was seen dancing with her equally picturesque swain. There is no need to tell of the success of this party. How every one did enjoy it! ATHLETIC On November 28th, the whoie school turned out to honor our athletes After a delightful program, the Orchestra was announced. The double gym was scarcely too large for the crowd. The Bulldogs were not quite as ferocious on the dance floor as they were toward their opponents on the gridiron. Freshmen mingled with Seniors and class distinction was thrown to the four winds. Tired but happy we left Woodward with a Thanksgiving vacation before us in which we could rest and recuperate. AeB The AeB partyejust another outburst of Senior generosity. This time the Juniors were the recipients of what was acclaimed by all as 51 fine good time. The tragic Shakespeariun play given for the Juniors in the music room before the dance affected the spirits of the audience to a. marked degree. Seldom has an audience come away from a performance more merrily sad, or perhaps more sadly merry; and this mood predominated throughout the remainder of the afternoon. BeA March 15th, the juniors gave 21 St Patricks Day party for the Seniors. The Juniors displayed themselves well as dramatic stars and kept the crowd laughing during the entire program. The program was fine, the punch was fine, the music was fine, and everybody had a fine time. The Seniors are almost willing to concede that the Juniors, by dint of hard work and continued practice, may reach those heights of per; fection toward which this years Senior class has so nobly striven.

Page One Hundred Forty'one QEDB jaatiunal thletin: gnhulambip $uu'etp at $etanharp $thnulg THE Ni A, 8., in which ten boys of Woodward High School have life membership, has been formed among many of the secondary schools in the United States for the purpose of fostering high scholarship among boy athletes, of stimulating a desire for balanced training, of elevating the ideals of sportsmanship, and of developing more outstanding leaders in the world. These objectives present a very desirable form for raising the scholastic standard of athletics in this school, and are the main reason for Woodward's becoming a member of the society. Membership in this society is limited to those boys earning an athletic letter in one of the four major sports iFootball, Basketball, BasebalL and TruckL or letters in two minor spongeboys whose average in their school work for three consecutive seine esters is equal to or higher than the general average of the school, zmd who have GX' amplified the highest type of citizenship.

It will long be remembered not only for its splendid con! trol and guidance of 3.11 athletic enterprises, but for the participation of almost all of its members in some sport. Although its work is little heard of in the school, its re sults are far'reaching. Among its numerous accomplishments were the financing of ! Woodwardhs Greater Cincinnati Champion Basketeers. trip to the Southwestern Ohio ' l tournament at Dayton, and also the trip taken by the Swimming team to the Gem City. Suflicient thanks cannot be given to our sponsor, Dr. Rettich, whose splendid work was instrumental in the success of our group.

EARLENE WALLACE, KENNETH KINNAIRD Page One Hundred Fortylfive r-r ECMH AqameOOm Page One Hundred Frv'rtymix FOOTBALL HE football season of 1928 was very successful, even though it was not a winning one, for Woodward just broke even on the year, winning four games and losing four. However, the reason the season was considered successful is that for the first time in a number of years the Bulldogs 0f Woodward were feared by their opponents. In early September, when Coach Moeller called the candidates together, he was sorely disappointed, for he could see the diflicult task which lay before him. There were only three letter men from the preceding year, the rest of the squad being com, posed of green material However, this material was the kind that gave our coach a slight inspiration. After the squad was supplied with suits, it began training for the coming season, which promised to be a very difficult one. And when the time for the opening game had come, Coach Moeller was able to pick a formidable team, which eventually proved that it would light to the last ditch for Woodward. Although the boys did not win every game, they tried their best, and fought each game with untiring eHort until the iinal whistle blew. The sportsmanship and lighting spirit of those who played on the team deserve the high regard of every student of Woodward. No one member of the team is entitled to more distinction than another, for each did his best in whatever position he happened to be playing; and what more can be said? Those who were successful in earning the coveted MW are as follows: Captain Moroney, Manager Amarant, and Appel, Rich, Bondi, Weiss, Karabensch, Smith, Tessel, Meier, Koenki, Frick, Everett, Kirbert, Carries, Kinnaird, Diets, Gray, Zacchl arias, Thielmeyer, Sheari Those who stayed with the team during the season and tried their best to make letters, but who were unsuccessful in their efforts, deserve as much, if not more, credit than those who received their letters. The putting away of the iimoleskins for the season was the most heartbreaking part of all for the members of the team There were some who were putting them away for good, because of graduation; but they left their most earnest wishes for success to those who will return Their parting words express their feeling about those who will be at Woodward to play another year, E.You fellows donlt realize how lucky you areFl BILLH MORQNEY, 529.

Yes, the Bulldogs copped the hunting this year by meeting and vanquishing anything and everything around Cincinnati. Not only did our boys win the Scholastic Championship, thereby bringing the coveted Enquirer Trophy to Woodward to stay, but they also gained undisputed possession of the Greater Cin- cinnati Championship when they defeated St. Xavier, the only other claimant to the title in the tournament at U. C. After winning this tournament, the Bulldogs joure neyed to Dayton where they met their first defeat of the season, in the second round, at the hands of the strong Dayton Stivers quintet, state Champions in 1928 and in 1929. The record of the latter team is one tn be envied, the team having hung up a total of 13 victories in 14 states. The personnel of our team was: Appel and Higgins, forwards; McTier, center; Rich and Frick, guards; Wurtz, Boothe, Shear! and McCarthy, forwards; Kinnaird, center; Bondi, Zobel, and Tessel, guards. Of this squad only Boothe, Kimmird, Bondi, and Tessel are not lost by graduation. Nevertheless, Coach Mueller predicts another championship next year, and he usually knows what he is talking about The team did not boast of any one individual star. Team work and cooperation, aided by the skillful guidance of the Coach, proved sufficient to win the championship. ROY FRICK, .29. Page One Hundred Fiftyeone vamh Agimmawm Page One Hundred Fiftyrtwa BASEBALL THE return of several star letter men, together with the addition of a few good recruits, gives the Woodward baseball team a happy outlook for the season. Among our last year boys we have Roy Frick, first baseman; Joe Stewart, centerfielder; Herb Whitacre and Herb Rutenschroer, pitchers. Among the new faces to appear on the diamond are Ray Evans, a puzzling twirler, and Charley Drach, a hard'hitting third baseman. The following are also regular players: Jack Rich, left fielder; George Studt. dghtiielder; Joe Matthews, second baseman; Sam Tessel, catcher; and Nick Appel, shortstop. When pvactise began for the hrst time, a large number of candidates reported. Coaching was very well handled by Coach Moeller and Tony Tuccinardi, After a weeks practise the squad was cut, and the fortunate ones received their uniforms. The hrst game was played April 11th, with Roger Bacon High School, at St. Bernard. The Bulldogs, determined to make a good impression, jumped right into the lead and were never headed. The final score stood: Woodward, 10; Roger Bacon, 3 The next game with Walnut Hills also seemed like a walkover, the Bulldogs scoring nine runs in three innings. Some of the regulars were taken out and the Eagles took new life and made the game interesting The hnaI score was: Bulldogs 12; Eagles '7. Friday, April 26th, came the Withrow game to which we all had looked forward with high hopes. The Withrow nine tallied first, getting three runs in the second. Our boys came right back and made flve in the third Withrow was flghting hard, but Evans, by superb pitching, kept the hits scattered. In the sixth the Hyde Park nine started a rally on a walk, three errors, and two hits, and made four runs The score now stood Withrow 7; Woodward ST But the Bulldogs'were not down and out Sam Tessel started the seventh with a hit. Joe Stewart walked, and both runners advanced on a pass. At this moment Charley Drach singled and both runners scored. Then Jimmy B0yd,-star Withmw butler, blew up and base hits rained 2111 over the diamond. The Bulldogs scored six runs in the big inning and the store remained Wood! ward 11, Withrow 7 The next week we practised hard, as we were to meet our ancient rivals, Hughes, on Friday The game was well played with Hughes :15 winners, the score being Hughes 10, Woodward 737:1 very discouraging blow to the Bulldogs. GettingerTs pitching for Hughes was the outstanding feature of the game, the Woodward nine collecting only four hits. Since the Big Reds? had lost one game to Western Hills, the champion! ship for this year between Hughes and Woodward remains undecided. NICHOLAS APPEL, t29. Page One Hundred Fiftylthree SWIMMING TEAM HE swimming team of 1928,1929 was very limited in number of members, but that did not prevent it from winning the second place interscholastic swimming trophy. Under the guidance of Coach Stecher and Captain E10, the boys nosed out a larger squad from Withrow in the last meet of the year to take permanent possession of the cup. They were second only to Hughes, who won the first place trophy. The team made only fortyrthree and onelhalf points, but owing to the fact that Hughes had one of the best teams in its history the competition was extremely keen and the boys had to struggle for all that they did win. Woodward managed to finish fifth in the Ohio State meet at Dayton, though they were the victims of several unfair decisionsl Daley and E10 will be lost by graduation, but the next Yearls team will have a strong foundation to build on, for Lindevall, Booth and Schneider, all excellent swim, mers, will remain. The junior squad had a disastrous season, for they made only two points, all of which were made by Brinkmeyer. REINO ELo, l29. Page One Hundred Fifty'four TRACK TEAM THE track team at the beginning of this year was very small. Better things can be looked forward to for the rest of this year because we now have permission to use the Hunt Street held. This field is fully equipped with apparatus such as shots, javelins, discus, standards, etc. It has also a oneelifth of a mile track and a dash track. Now that we have the facilitiesrefor we surely have the material,-we hope that many more fellows will come out. Already, ten and fifteen are coming to practice inr stead of four and five. Thus far the team has entered but one meet, which was the 30th Annual Athletic Carnival, on the 22nd of February, at the Armory. We had only six men to enter, but Kenneth Dick, 31, managed to make three points for Woodward by taking second place in the junior SOIyard dash. ALBERT PFETZING, 29. Page One Hundred Fifty'jiue i 1; ET BOYST ALL ROUND W EACH year the Junior and Senior boys, under the able leadership of Dr, Rettich, try out for the All-Round W tests. The events in this test are eighteen in number, and include running, jumping, rope climbing, swimming, diving, shotvput, pole vault, and discus and javehn throwing In each event a minimum of seven points must be made, and a total of 100 points out of a possible 180 before the contestant receives his letter. This year a few more boys completed the tests than last year, six being successful. We hope that even more Senior and Junior boys will try out in future years, as the ,tests are very interesting and the HW one receives for his efforts is worth working 'for. The boys who received their letter this year are Albert Pfetzing, Carl Lang, Joseph Sharp, Robert Sharp, Edward Higgins, Herbert Stallworth ROBERT SHARP, a29. Page One Hundred Fifty'six BOYS? RED CROSS LIFEISAVING HF. students of Woodward High School have for each of the past four years secured for the school a banner signifying that a definite per cent of the student body has passed the various lifesaving tests. Woodward has not only won these banners, but has also had the honor of leading all the other high schools in the country in having the greatest per cent of pupils pass lifesaving tests each year. These honors conferred upon Woodward High School have been made possible only through the untiring efforts and patience of Mr. Stecher, the swimming coach, in teaching the swimmers to master the diflicult art of life-saving. He has in the past decade probably turned Out more swimmers and life'savers than any other high school swimming coach in the country. The group of sturdy lads pictured above has again this year brought the banner to Woodward. ANTHONY HERNADI, l29. Page One Hundred Fifty-seven GIRLSa CENTER BALL HAVE we a peppy A Grade? T11 say we have! The A Grade girls walked off with the center ball championship, another pleasant memory to carry with them out into the world. The girls of '29 have shown much school spirit and deter mination, and have faithfully done their hit to bring honor to the A Grade. It is our hope that the lower class girls will follow the example of the upper class. HAZEL PETERS, '29. Page One Hundred Fifty-eight GIRLS BASKETBALL URRAH for the A Grade Girls! They have proved to be a group of enthusiastic athletic girls by carrying off another championship. Any girl over the age of sixteen is eligible to play girls basketball at Woodward, and a large group came to' practice, but due to lack of knowledge of the play, only endugh girls remained to form three teams; a Senior, :1 Junior, and a Sophomore team. Miss Mildred J. Watcher was in charge, and the girls enjoyed the work greatly. HAZEL PETERS, 329, Page One Hundred Fiftyvnine GIRLS BASEBALL FTER a series of hard battles, the gym class of Monday 4th period carried off the girls' baseball championship. Each gym class, under the supervision of Miss Hazel Orr, organized a team, and thus the girls had pleasant as well as beneficial physical activities after school. Let us hope that the future teams will have as much school spirit as these teams have ShOWI'L HAZEL PETERS, 29 Page One Hundred Sixty AERIAL DART THE game of Aerial Dart was first introduced into the girlsl gymnasium in 1927. Each year a contest is held to fmd out who are the best aerial dart players in the school. Each winner is awarded an aerial dart paddle. The game is played by a group of four girls, two girls composing a team, Each team plays another team until, by the eliminating process, only the winners remain Aerial Dart has about the same rules as a tennis game Paddles are used to hit the dart back and forth across a met. If the server hits the dart out of the receiver's court it is counted d5 three points for the receiverls side. Fifteen points compose a game, and the team must win two games out of three. If one side misses the dart and it falls to the floor, it is also counted as three points, but for the other side. It is prophesied that this game will become very popular and interesting in a few years, not only with the girls, but with the boys also. ETHEL LERNER, l29.

S4 JIHINDIHIUNIL HUMAWYS Page One Hundred Sixty'eight THE MESSAGE uZoom A jagged shell shut dizzily through the air and exploded, fighting for a moment the murky blackness. The gray shadow, which had been stealthily advancing, bent closer to the muddy ground and halted fur a moment. Then, stealthily, as before, it resumed its advance toward the line of trenches ahead In the ofhcers' dugout 0f the trench an anxious discussion was taking place. Before a rude table sat the temporary commandant of the detachment, a grime determined man of middle years. By his side, apparently unembarrassed by difference of rank or age, was a younger man in whose face the lines of anxiety were hxed and rigid. Captain, ethe older man was speaking-thve're in a bad situation. I cant understand yet how that Boche machine gun crew gained that position. The tight lips widened a moment in a grim smile. Here I volunteer to take the flower of the division to gain the rear of that German line and squash the three guns Which were mowing down our line. We gain an advantageous position here ready to begin business, only to wake up and find one of the guns moved around on our flank, separating us from the main division. If there ain't irony in that, I can't think of anyfi The subordinate offered no reply, merely nodding and puckering his brows further in deep thought. The other glanced at him and went on. MI'hat one gun, Captain, is doing more damage to us than all the other guns 011 the entire line. Our detachment is separated from the COTOHEPS: thereTs a machine gun on our flank thath threatening to wipe out our whole Company, and weive still got those Boches in the front to face. If it isnit a mess! The younger man TOOkEd up. Do you think your message got through, sir? uNot a chance, my boy. I did that as a last measure The only possibility of getting a message through was by sending the dog, but even at that, iYankeeT could hardly have gotten through those gunners. TheyTve got their eyes trained on our whole trench, and I wouldnit doubt but that they could wipe us out at any moment, if they wanted to. It would be plain slaughter to send any men out for that gun. u'W'hzit was it that you sent in the message, sir? The elder man rummaged among the papers on the table. It wasnTt much, Camell. What could I write? Colonel Bragdun couldn't pessibly render us any help, Again itis those snipers and that gun on our flank, Theyid be reinforced in a moment and wipe out any movement on his part, and weid be left in a worse hx than before. hie? it is. He hngered a scrap of paper and held it close to the candle as he explained the Clp er. Am in serious straits. Threatened on front and rear flank. Sorry to have failed, He smiled ironicaliy. t Probably my last love note to the Colonel. The Captain looked up with a faint smile. While there's life thereTs hope, Major Daniels. iiOh, yes, my boy, but I fear the first part of that argument will soon be untrue. There was a rap at the door. The two ofheers sprang to their feet, looked at each other for a moment, and then smiied rather foolishly. The Major seated himself again, slightly shaking his head uCome in. A grimy, mud'bespattered youngr man in khaki entered and saluted. uVilhat is it, Corporal? uSeven more men killed on our Hank, sir. The major1s face fell. Inwardly, he again reproached himself for having undertaken the venture, which was resulting so fatally to his comradest ' uAny further report, Corporal? The young man hesitated, then called back through the doorway. Another begrimed soldier entered, leading a large police dog, whose entire body was flecked with clinging cakes of mud. After a diligent search about its body, he arose slowly. shrugged his shouiders, and turned to the captain. Yankee just came in, sir. That's all.H The major at once dismissed the two men, then eagerly examined the dog. uAs. I foresaw, Carnell. Nothing on himi They must have taken my message. It won't do thtm any good. even it they did decipher it. except to let them know what they know already. They win. We have hardly a chance in a million. Page One Hundred Sixtyrm'ne Carnell, who had been examining the dog, now rose slowly, gazing thoughtfully at a torn and ragged piece of cloth which he held in his hand ItWhat it it, boyTI ' uIt looks like a piece of the lapel of Colonel Bragdon's coats Yankee had it in his mouth. How did that get there, I wonder? The major lingered the piece of cloth thoughtfully. How did you know it was the ColonelISTI ' Why. here's the pin that was attached to it, Major Daniels. I remember the colonel saying several times that he always carried his old school pin with him, even if he had to wear it on the other side of his coat lapel. He was always quoting the motto on it. llYes, boy; but look here, we're getting sentimental. His voice suddenly resumed its accustomed gruffness. Captain Camell, return and command the right wing to tire and fight their damnest to damage the line in front, It may be our last breath, but we'll make those Fritzies feel it, by thunder! The captain, who had been thoughtfully contemplating the pin, turned to his superior. I'Sir, I should like to make one request before I execute that order. I should like permission to do with my men as I wish tonight, The major started, then suddenly smiled and hngered his chin. TI can't see any reason for not granting your request Very well, captain, you have free leave to use your flank as you wish until dawnf The fire from the American trench increased steadily after the giving of the order. But, almost imperceptibly, as time dragged on, to anyone watching, it seemed as if the spurts of flame from the left side were becoming less frequent. But what even a close observer could not have seen wasecreeping shadows disengage themselves from the barbed wire entanglement and crawl stealthily along, inch by inch, to the left. All about the five, the shells sputtered and split at Isudden strange intervals. throwing auras of light on the scene. Inch by inch the men crept on. A shell screethed through the air and fell a short distance ahead of the leader. splashing the mud into the faces of the men. The second in line anxiously touched the shoulder of the man in the lead, llAre you hurt captain? ' Captain Camel! whispered back to the young corporal, uNothing but a scratch, Dan. Silently, they crept on, Suddenly a missile exploded among the bushes, fifty feet from them. Closer they crouched to the ground, ..Do you think they spotted us this time, captain? Another shell exploded and one of the men fell to the ground with a groan. Carnell glanced backward and his mouth set grimly. I'm afraid 50, Dan. They got Murphy. But we've got to go on. Keep your wits about you, Dan! The four crept oneon until they could see the wires of the Bochc position in the light of the shells. Suddenly a spurt of hre shot from the trench and a dull throh seemed to make the earth shake. Carnell, his face bleeding, turned to the man who still dogged his side. That you, Dan? A faint whisper came through the blackness. uWhats left of me, eap'ttain. A groan and :1 soft splash told Carnell that his last companion had fallen. Grimly he set his lips and muttered over and over like a prayer, words which somehow seemed to give his trembling muscles strength to proceed. Nearer, nearer-he fancied now he could see the muzzles of the German guns. A spurt of fire shot from the trench. The captain clutched his shoulder as a spasm of pain shot through it. He knew the moment had come; he was growing faintw Frantically whispering those mystic words, he reached for the grenade at his belt and threw it with his last measure of strength. With a blinding flash a similar missile seemed to explode in his face He groaned-the world grew black to his eyes as he turned over and lay still, I cant catch what he's been muttering, Colonel. After each time, his lips set a hard line. Some catchrword, I supposef The colonel, El kindly, graylhaired man. smiled and bent over the patient on the cot. uHe needed more eatclrwords than one to accomplish what he did that night. It looks as ,n if he's coming to at last, Major. The eyelids of the man on the cot fluttered for a moment and opened. The man gazed uncomprehendingly at the faces above him. Clutching at the coverlet, he grew quiet and shut his eyes, only to open them again in a moment Page One Hundred Seventy uColonel Bragdon, Major Darn'iels! Where am I? Quiet, my boy,u the colonel soothed the man. Youlre in the main trench now, Major. uMajor? The man looked confused. Yes, you're Major Carnell now. Oh, for what happened tonight? Tonight? The colonel smiled to Major Daniels. No, Carnell, for what you did two weeks ago, Now quiet! he remonstrated, as the man struggled to speak. uIf you'll only be quiet, well tell you all that happened after you were shot Major Daniels can begin. He nodded to Daniels, who drew close and commenced. Well, my boy, I didnlt know what you were up to until after you had gone, or I would never have let you go, despite my granting your request Nevertheless, I watched you closely and saw your men fall one by one. Then I lost trace of you and Benson Yes, he's aliveapretty well shot up, though, and a sergeant nowr The others? Sorry, my boy, we reached them too late. Well, a while after that I saw a flash to our left near that machine gun, and I knew you had found the mark. We waited awhile and watched closely. But that machine gun nest was silen'eed. Covering up thair retreat by the fire of our right flank, I sent your company back to capture the trench. There were still a lot of Boche snipers there, but you had put their gun and its gunners out of commission. Ilm told your boys had a pretty stiff hght, handrtOrhancl, but they won out all right That was the time they found you and Bent son. Well, I thought tum about was fair play, so I turned that nest over to your boys to rain hell and damnation on the Boche flank. You see, we caught them between two fires exactly as they had taught us. Of course, they had no chance and surrendered after we had almost wiped out a whole wing of theirs. I sent word to the colonel here and he pushed his entire line forward. My boy. youlve achieved single'handed all that we were trying to do with our entire line. were in an excellent position in that Boche trench and ready to sencl word to the general to strike at; the main line, for we can get them on the flank. uBut there's one question Yd like to ask you, Carnell,u said the Colonel. uFrankly, the Major and I never thought you had all the nerve you showed that night. And I have been wonr dering what gave it to you, Cornell? He paused, The young manls eyes opened wearily. Oh-why--I was merely obeying Orders, Colonel-ethe orders you sent uOrders? My orders? the Colonel queried wonderingly. Yes, the order you sent on the pin through Yankee. Colonel Bragdon turned solemnly to Major Daniels, TlMajor, I believe I was right. Then he smiled at Carnelll uYou .see, Carnell, the Major and I have been theorizing. Let me tell you how we patched it out. ' uYankee came through to me, but there was no message on him, 50 I thought you were all right and that he had merely strayed. The fact of the matter was, I suppose, that the Boche gunners got him first and took the message He must have gotten loose, and came right to our trench. Well, the dog seemed restless when I did not give him a message and jumped up on me like a wild.creaturer He seemed to know something was wrong. Finally he toqlt my army coat, that was lying on the bench, in his teeth and started away with it. I had to tear it from him. The next day he was missing and incidentally a piece of the cloth of my coat lapel, the piece w1th my old high school pin on it, and he evidently got through with it to you. You took the inscription on the pin to be a reproach or perhaps a command. Wasn't it so? Carnell nodded and smiled weaklyl Well, Carnell, concluded Colonel Bragdon, my belief in the power of the motto on that little old pin certainly has been strengthened by that adventure of yours. Any words Which can inspire a man to commit such a deed of madness-plain unadulterted madness, the Colonel smiled at the young man, must be powerful indeed. It has caused a threatening German flank line to be entirely swept away and opened a path for the defeat of the main line. But, Carnell, the credit is due to youF-and you are a brave man, Major Cornell.n The wounded man smiled wanly. But therels one thing Ild like to know, Carnell, said Colonel Bragdon, resuming the brusque tone of olhcer in command, Is there any message I can send for you.7 You were trying over and over again to say something in your delirium. Carnell smiled faintly. Why, donlt you know, Colonel? I was just repeating the message you sent me on your pin: IEsse Quam Videri.' lPerformance rather than promise.' It was that, you know, that put me through.

Page One Hundred Eighty-three . FAREWELL Some four years ago we entered the portals of Old Woodward imbued with the desire for greater knowledge. We have reached the goal which we had set before us But our graduation is only the first milestone on the road to success, for we must not feel satisfied with this simple achievement. We must realize that we are at the starting point of a new race, with our mental life enriched and extended by our four years within the walls of old Woodward. We must know that success can come only from high courage and perseverance in the tasks that lie before ust We are loathe to leave Hour dear Alma Mater, but' the fareweli must be said. Let us, then, say in parting: May the spirit of the Alma Mater with her sheltering wings brood over us and inspire us ever to strive onward and upward. LOUISE DOHRMAN, '29.

QAQQFEW Page Two Hzmdred Eighteen QQ BOOKS QQ The Most Gracious and Useful of Gifts What is more subtly a compliment than the gift of a wellechosen book? And what is more enjoyable or more useful? A worthy book is the garnered fruit of a distinguished experience. We all learn much in time, but none of us grow fast enough to adequately meet: the opportunities and obligations of life for service, enlightenment and abiding pleasure, without making use of the experience and inspiration of others. This experie ence and inspiration is most conveniently revealed in books. They are the most wonl derful open sesames-the greatest labor'saving devices. They hasten our intellectual steps; they broaden our horizon; they clear away the fogs of unreason and the clouds of ignorance. They sow for harvests otherwise impossible. They give comfort and joy in the adventure of life. ENJOY THE SELECTION OF INTERESTING BOOKS AT m 51796 CBaokaelf m mThe Book Lover's Havent, DOCTORS BUILDING GARFIELD PLACE 15' W. EIGHTH ST.
