It is but fitting that the Annual of this class should have for its theme the history of the school. We hope that the following pages will portray for the readers the academic and social life of the school of the present as well as the past; and that through our efforts, the pride which has ever justly been theirs will be in- creased in the hearts of those who have called Woodward ttAlma Materf' Jane MacDonald, h31. CDedication TO our noble predecessors, the Alumni, we dedicate this Annual, hoping that in our endeavors to emulate their illustrious example, we shall honor the name of Woodmard. Tho RUSS HATTIE DAVID Oldest Living Graduate of XVuodwurd William Woodward ILLIAM WOODWARD, the founder of Wood- ward High School, was born on the eighth of March, 1770, in Plainfield, Windom County, Connec- ticut. His father, Silas Woodward, was a farmer and a native of Plainfield. He had served in the American army throughout the Revolutionary War. Woodwardb mother was Lydia Cliff. William was the fifth of twelve children born to the Woodwards. All these children received such education as a plain New England school could afford. William, because of his poor health, received special advan- tages. He was given a course of instruction in sur- veying of which he made good use for a time, after coming to Cincinnati. William Woodward was reared under the rigid influences of New England WILLIAM WOODWARD Puritanism. He was taught to repress expressions of emotion, whether of fear or courage, joy 0r sor- row, affection or dislike, and thus, perhaps, he acquired the habit of making himself 7 known by his actions rather than by his words. The spirit of self-reliance, characteristic of the youth of New England, impelled William to seek his fortune in the wilderness country of the Northwest Territory. He made the tedious journey to Cincinnati, at that time scarcely more than a mili- tary post, in the latter part of 1791. The youthts knowledge of surveying was brought into practical use, but it seems that he desired to be established as a farmer, and the acquisition of land for that purpose soon entered into his plans. Woodward married Jane McGowan a few years after settling here, but she lived little more than a year. In 1801 he became guardian for Abigail Cutter, the daughter of Joseph Cutter, who had been killed by Indians while cultivating land in an out-lot at Twelfth and Cen- tral Avenue, where the Cincinnati Hospital formerly stood. Abigail, then about fifteen years of age, possessed a goodly inheritance in money and in lands. Part of her holdings in the city was a two hun- dred-foot lot in the center of the block on Fifth Street where the Government Building now stands. To her, also. belonged a lot at the southeast corner of Fifth and Main Streets, now occupied by the Pickering Building. Two years after he was made her guardian, Mr. Woodward made Miss Cutter WOODWARD MEMORIAL TABLET Eight THE XVOODXV'ARD HOMESTEAD IN CONNECTICUT his wife, and in her estate, no doubt, he had the foundation on which he built his fortune. Mr. Woodward led a busy life as a farmer, tanner, and owner of a large estate. Although he had no practical knowledge of tanning, Mr. Woodward estab- lished a tannery on his farm on the outskirts of the town. This he managed with profit for many years. Real estate operations proved successful and made secure his acquisitions, which at the appraisal of his property in July, 1833, a few months after his death, were found to be $179,675 in city real estate, $28,088.15 in person- alty. There were also tracts of land of considerable value outside the city, which swelled the aggregate value to about $230,000, a fortune acquired in his forty-two years of residence in Cincinnati. The humble 10g house first built upon Woodwardts farm, which included most of the land between Woodward and Liberty Streets, Main and Broadway, was re- placed by a commodious, substantial brick house, constructed under his direction and with much of his personal labor in 1816, on the corner of Main and Webster Streets. This old home is still standing, but all its surroundings have been changed, so that it is not easy to picture the neighborhood as the heavily timbered wilderness it once was. Mr. Woodward was a man of plain, simple ways. He was industrious, economical, frugal, exact in his habits which he inherited from his Puritan ancestors. It was his custom to retire at nine o'clock at night and to rise at four otclock in the morn- ing, and he always read a chapter of the Bible before retiring. He was very fond of music, especially of vocal music, and late in life attended a singing-school taught by the choir-master of the First Church. As early as 1819, Mr. Woodward gave expression to his desire of founding an educational institution. A contribution for Lane Seminary was asked of him. He named the sum that he would give, and the solicitor intimated that it was small. Mr. Woodward replied that he had another plan for assisting in education, and that he would not increase his donation. Another plan was the providing of facilities for education of children whose parents could not afford the expense of a private Nine ,. TT 5th. '1? H'ILLIAM XVOODKVAHD'S HOME IN ClNClNNATI school. Projects for the utilization of the grants of land that had been made by the government for educational purposes, as well as schemes for securing the aid of the State in the matter were being seriously considered at this time by the people of Ohio. While such projects were being discussed, Mr. Woodward was maturing his ideas. In November, 1826, Mr. and Mrs. Woodward signed a deed of gift to the trustees Mr. Woodward had chosen: Samuel Lewis, his most trusted friend and adviser in all matters, and Osmond Cogswell. This deed conveyed to them about seven acres of land located on Sycamore Street north of Hunt Street. Gifts of land were added from time to time, and several years later Mr. Woodward gave more than an acre for a school-house. In 1830, work was begun on the lot 011 Franklin Street, now Woodward Street. On October 24, 1831, this school of four rooms was opened, With three teachers and forty-two pupils, all boys. Mr. Woodward was spared to see his plans practically formulated and put in successful operation by the inauguration of a good school that promised, through the increase of its income and judicious management of it, to fulfill his cherished hopes. William Woodwardls work has not yet been finished, nor will it be finished while there remains a just appreciation of the benefits of education. His gift will bring pleasure, and his noble purpose will inspire our boys and girls as long as the spirit that actuated him is kept alive among the American people. May his memory be forever cherished by all, especially by the students and grad- uates 0f the school which so proudly bears his name. ELAINE KURSBAN, 81. T: n Everyday Life in Cincinnati of I83l INCINNATI, in 1831, was a flourishing little town with bright hopes for the future. Even at this early date, considerable business was carried on. The most outstanding feature of the Cincinnati of 1831 was its market. This, it seems, was famous for the abundance and cheapness of its supplies. As there were no shops for the sale of food except bakeries, everything for breakfast, dinner, and supper had to be purchased at the market. Accordingly, the gentlemen 0f the city were accustomed to attend to the marketing. They would arise early and with capacious baskets sally forth in search of meat, butter, eggs, and vegetables. Even Mrs. Trollope, our archcritic, says that the beef, then only four cents a pound, was excellent. The poultry, mutton, and veal also were exceptionally good An abund- ance of good fish was always to be found in the market at very low prices, as well as an excellent supply of butter, eggs, and. vegetables. Tomatoes of the highest perfection were to be found from June to December, and a great variety of beans was available. The fruit on sale seems to have been inferior. At this time, there was an almost total want of pasturage near the city, and it is difficult to understand the source of the abundant milk supply. Evidently there were more ways than one of keeping a cow. Many a family in town, particularly of the poorer class, kept a cow, though apparently without pasture. These cows were fed morning and evening at the door of the house, and while they ate, they were milked. When this operation was completed, both the milk pail and the meal- tub were taken into the dwelling, leaving the cow to finish her meal on the neigh- boring hills or in the gutter, as might suit her fancy. The wife and daughter of the family usually had to work very hard. They were, virtually, domestic slaves. The women were broken and prematurely aged at a time when they should have been in the prime of life. The girls married at a very early age and took upon their shoulders the added cares of married life. The average wage of the laboring man was about ten dollars per month with lodging, board, washing, and mending. If the workman lived at his own expense, he was paid a dollar a day. Among the men, the use of tobacco and whiskey was almost universal. Some used both moderately; some, excessively; a few, not at all. At this period, the absence of public amusement was most noticeable. There were no concerts or dinner parties, no public balls except during the Christmas holidays. Billiards and cards were forbidden by law. The only place of public . amusement was the one small theater. Plays were poorly attended. Ladies were rarely seen there, and by far the larger proportion of them considered it an offense against religion to witness a play. It was in the churches and chapels of the town that the ladies were to be seen, in handsome costumes. The proportion of men ' attending these evening meetings was very small. The ladies were too actively em- ployed within their homes to permit much morning visiting. Had it not been for public worship and private tea drinkings, all the ladies of Cincinnati would have been in danger of becoming recluses. Mrs. Trollope says that on the Fourth of July alone, the Americans appeared to be amiable people. It is then that ttthey awake and appear high spirited, gay, sociable, and generous. The women had but little to do with the pageantry, the splendor, or the gaiety of the holiday, but the men made it a glorious celebration. The many growing industries of the city made for a constant year-round activity and prosperity. This steady whirl of every-day life was of special interest to the outsider. Although Cincinnati was not a full-grown city in 1831, it was, indeed, a very promising one. ANNA MAE LUNSFORD, '31 Eleven Cincinnati of l83l as an Industrial City OHN MELISH, an English traveler visiting Cincinnati about a hundred years ago, said, ttThis is, next to Pittsburgh, the greatest place for manufacturing and mechanical operations on the river, and the professions exercised are nearly as numerous as in Pittsburgh. There are masons and stonecutters, brick-makers, car- penters, cabinet-makers, coopers, turners, machine-makers, wheelwrights, smiths, mailers, coppersmiths, tinsmiths, silversmiths, gunsmiths, clock and watch makers, cotton spinners, weavers, dyers, tailors, printers, bookbinders, rope-mak- ers, comb-makers, painters, pot and pearlash makers, tanners, boot and shoe-mak- ers, g'lovers, and breeches-makers, and iron and steel foundries.n In 1831, Cincinnati had a number of factories and plants that had been estab lished as early as 1819. There was the Glass Manufacturing Company at the foot of Plum Street, which employed about thirty-five workmen in manufacturing vari- ous kinds of glass. There was an 0x sawemill which was the first to be estabiished with animal power. The saws were driven by an inclined wheel put in motion by cattle walking on the wheel. This mill was invented by Joseph B. Robinson, and cut eight hundred thousand feet of board annually. Other important plants started this early were the Cincinnati Bell, Brass, and Iron Foundry, owned by William Green and Company, and the Phoenix Foundry. There was a sugar refinery on the hill near Broadway, which had an output of one hundred and eighty thousand pounds a year. Several new companies were started in 1826. The Cincinnati Water Company was incorporated and was in complete charge of the city water supply. The prin- cipal steam mill at this time was located on Front Street between Ludlow and Broadway. Many mills and factories were started in the east end of the city. There was the steam mill for sawing stone, owned by Alvin Washburn, situated between Front Street and Columbia Avenue. Tiftis Steam-engine and Finishing Establish- ment was on Columbia, east of Broadway. Other important plants were the Goodloe and Harkness Copper Foundry, the Phoenix Paper Mill, and the Cincinnati Steam Paper Mill. By 1829, the value of manufactures was $1,858,000 compared with $1,059,459 in 1826. There were three boatyards along the river for the construction of steam- boats. Nine printing companies were established. The chief exports of Cincinnati were flour, pork, bacon, lard, whiskey, cheese, candles, spun yarn, and furniture. The Cincinnati Cotton Factory, owned by Miller and Company, was started in 1829. It was located at Seventh and Smith Streets and occupied a three-story brick building. It was capable of running two thousand spindles. In this same year, the Cincinnati Water Works started to operate. The water was conveyed to the reservoir in twelve-inch iron pipes, and from the reservoir to Broadway in eight-inch iron pipes. From there it was distributed throughout the city in wooden pipes, fifty thousand feet of which had beeen laid. The manufacture of pipes, also, had begun at the Water Works building. In 1831, Cincinnati was known as Porkopolis because of her large pork inter- ests. The first attempts at curing pork in the earlier days had been unsuccessful, but by this time the methods were improved because of the introduction and use of rock salt. The industry was now so extensive that it was declared to be larger than that of Baltimore 01', perhaps, any other city. An average of forty thousand hogs Twelve were packed in four months. For a long time, the slaughter houses were chiefly in the valley of Deer Creek, and the packing-houses were spread over the entire city. Later, however, both slaughter and packing-houses were removed to the Mill Creek Valley where they are now located. We know that Cincinnati is today one of the largest industrial cities in America. In 1831, when the West was just being developed. Cincinnati industries were very important and helped to give our city the name, Queen City Of the WBStf, a title which she still proudly bears. MARIE LIND, '31. The City Government in l83l HE government of the city of Cincinnati in 1831 operated under its second city charter, granted by the act of the General Assembly of January 26, 1827. It was not such a government as we have now, but very much simpler, though adequate to the needs of the period and the size of the city. The City Council was the main governing body of the city. It consisted of trustees, three from each of the five city wards. The trustees, elected by the people, were men who had lived in the city for at least three years, and who had been freeholders or householders for a year. The Council could pass ordinances concerning the health of the city, fire companies, the night watch, erection of wooden buildings, licenses for ale-houses, taverns, etc., appropriations for expenses, and taxes. The tax was one-fifth of one per cent of the total value of taxable prop- erty in the city. Every white male over twenty-one years of age could vote, regardless of property qualifications. The mayor was elected by the people for a twoayear term. His duties included participation in the dispensing of justice in the City Court, of which he was a member, and the holding of the office of J ustice of the Peace. Associated with him in the court were three Aldermen, also elected by the people. Other court officials were the Clerk and the Prosecutor, both appointed by the Mayor and Aldermen. The other officials of the city were the Marshal, the Inspector of Flour, Inspectors of Whiskey, and the Collector of Canal Tolls. The Fire Department of the city was composed of six companies. Thirteen engines and several hose reels formed their Equipment. They proved inadequate to cope with large fires, but at that time the Council would not provide new equip- ment for them. The engines were manned by volunteers. The Cincinnati Fire Association was one of the organizations formed by the volunteers. Its purpose was to regulate the Fire Department, to settle disputes over fire losses, and to provide for sick or disabled members. A feature of this association was the parade of the fire companies on the first Thursday Of May, each year. There was no Police Department, but some protection was given by the City Night Watch, which consisted of not more than twenty men appointed by the Marshal. These men met in a building purchased for them in the center of the city, and made their rounds each night. Such was the situation in Cincinnati, in 1831, when William Woodward opened the doors of the first Woodward school building. LAN WONG, t31. Thirlmz Medicine in Cincinnati in I83l INCINNATI, from 1829 to 1833, was an afflicted city. Flood, fire, famine, and the dreaded cholera swept the city from end to end. Flood, fire, and famine all called for a knowledge of medicine, but cholera was the major enemy of the doctors of 1831. There were eight hundred and thirteen deaths resulting from cholera. Besides the above mentioned disasters, the doctors had to fight diseases which were caused by impure water coming through wooden pipes. In a directory of Cincinnati, the directory of 1881, there appeared the names of forty-seven physicians who were members of the Medical Society. As membership in this society was required if one wished to practice medicine, the list should have been a representative one, yet we hear of only about a dozen of the doctors on the list who practiced in 1831. In a directory of 1836, twenty-one of the names in the directory of 1831 reappear. Cincinnatits first hospital was authorized on January 22, 1821, by an act of Legislature. It was established through the efforts of Dr. Drake, as was the first medical school of Cincinnati. The hospital was called the Commercial Hospital and Lunatic Asylum for the State of Ohio, and it was erected in 1823. The site was a four-acre lot bounded on the east by the Miami Canal and within one mile of the Ohio River. The hospital site cost the township $4,000. The main building was of brick, and it had a fifty-three foot front. It was forty-two feet deep and four stories high,inc1uding the basement. There was an operating theater With seats for one hundred spectators. The building cost $10,000 in depreciated bank paper, estimated to be worth about $3,500 at that time. In January, 1820, the Medical College of Ohio was established. The faculty con- sisted of Dr. Drake, Dr. Jesse Smith, and Dr. Benjamin Bohrei'. Dr. Drake was president of the faculty and professor of the theory and practice of medicine. The government of the institution made professors trustees. This policy was a great mistake, because a majority of the faculty could turn out the others and elect whom they pleased. At this time there was a great amount of jealousy among the doctors and professors, which caused many quarrels. In the sessions of the Legislature, 1822-1823, the charter of the college was amended, and a new board of trustees was appointed with General Harrison at its head. The power of appointment and of dismissal of members of the faculty was placed in this board. Finally the dissension among the doctors became so great that a medical war divided the town into two parties, and in 1884 a petition was sent to the Legislature for reorganization of the institution. The petition was signed by a number of leading physicians. As an outgrowth of this movement for reform, a medical de- partment was established at the Cincinnati College. Many medical journals were published in Cincinnati between 1819 and 1832. An early journal was The Western Quarterly Reportev-y edited by Dr. John B. God- man. Other medical publications were The Ohio Medical Repository, The Western M edical and Physical Journal, and The Western M edical Gazette. To-day Cincinnati has some of the finest hospitals in the country, and its excel- lent medical school provides for the City many doctors who have made Cincinnati a notable health center among cities of the United States. CALVIN WARNER, t31. Fouriemz Elements of Population in Cincinnati of l83l HE people who first settled in Cincinnati were from other states. There were representatives here from every state in the Union. Foreigners, too, came to Cincinnati and settled, so that not only every state in the Union, but almost every part of the globe was represented here. In 1831, more than half of the population in Cincinnati were foreign born. Of these, by far the greatest number were Germans. They flocked to Cincinnati by hundreds. In 1831, they formed twenty-eight per cent of the population. The Irish formed the next largest group. Their number was estimated to be 13,831. They lived, for the most part, along the river. The English constituted about sixteen per cent of the population, and the French and Italians, one per cent each. Besides these, there were Dutch, Polish, West Indians, Nova Scotians, Danes, Belgians, Mexicans, Russians, Norwegians, Scotch, Welsh, Spaniards, Greeks, Africans, Turks, Portuguese, Swiss, and Australians. There were also many people whose nationality was not known. Their place of birth was listed as ttunknown or uat sea. Each nationality settled in a little group, keeping its own traditions, ideals, cus- toms, and in some instances, its language. Cincinnati was a very cosmopolitan city, a characteristic which she retains to-day. ELLEN HENSLEY ,31 , . Social Life and Customs of Cincinnati in I83I IONEER Cincinnatians realized that they must toil for the prosperity of their rapidly growing city. In spite of the hustle and bustle for wealth and progress generated by their labor, there was even then real society. It was not, however, an elaborate society with great conventionality; although not as polished as European and Southern aristocracy, it was wholesome, prosperous, and intelligent. In this period there were many clubs, one of the most distinguished of which was the Buckeye Club. This club held social and literary meetings in the parlor of Dr. Drakes home on Vine Street. The members discussed certain specified topics and commented on events of the day. Another popular literary society was the Semi-Colon Club. This curious name has no connection with the punctuation mark. It had been worked out on the theory that he who provides a new pleasure is entitled to half the praise accorded to the discoverer of a new continent. Therefore this club, a center of intellectual and social enjoyment, deserved half the praise of Colon tColumbusi, the discoverer of America. Literary and musical contributions were made by this society. Harriet Beecher Stowe later collected her papers under the title of Mayflower and dedi- cated them to the club. Visitors to the city were frequent guests. The club existed and fiourished until the panic of eighteen hundred and thirty-seven, during which period many of the members suffered losses. Besides these high-brow critical societies, there were also clubs to promote interest in sportsmanship. One of the best-known was the Cincinnati Shooting Club, established in eighteen hundred and thirty-one, which gave frequent dinners supplied with game killed by the members. At the dinners, they probably announced the scores attained by the hunters who had been proved the best marksmen. At the social and club gatherings Mrs. Trollope's Bazaar was the subject of many a conversation. This bazaar was housed in a unique building of brick with Gothic tContinued on page 1251 Fifteen The Schools of Cincinnai'i in l83l N the third decade of the nineteenth century, Cincinnati was considered the center of learning for the West and Southwest. It was then the largest city west of the Alleghenies and justified its title, the Queen City of the Westf' Students came from the South, from Indiana, and from farther west. By 1881, the Lane Theological Seminary, the Cincinnati College, and the Ohio Medical College had been established. The Lane Theological Seminary was erected upon a plot of ground on Walnut Hills, which had been donated by Elnathan Kemper. It consisted of three departments, the preparatory, the collegiate, and the theological. The dormitory was in the third story, commonly called the garret. There was one large room with a fireplace, used by all students, and a dining room which the students had to heat at their own expense. The rules were very strict. Smoking was prohibited, and marriage resulted in dismissal. A cemetery was laid out in the neighborhood for the following reasons: ttInasmuch as those Who are studying for the ministry need time and opportunity for meditation and self- examination, a cemetery in proximity to the institution will afford a favorable place of retirement for the purpose. The Cincinnati College instructed students in mathematics, natural philosophy, chemistry, astronomy, mineralogy, and languages, as well as in law. Because of financial difficulties, the academic features were suspended. The law school con- tinued, and is now the law department of the University of Cincinnati. The Ohio Medical College was the center of learning for those who wished to follow the medical profession. This institution is still active as a part of the University of Cincinnati. . Before the year 1828, only private schools were available to children. Dr. John Lockets Cincinnati Female Academy, the Misses Bailey Female Boarding School, and a Female Seminary established by Caroline Lee Hentz were a few of the private schools of this period, in addition to DemingJS Academy, E. Stone Com- mercial Academy, and a technical school established by Milo G. Williams. In 1828, a law was passed providing for public schools in Ohio. Nathaniel Guil- ford, Micajah J . Williams, and Samuel Lewis were leaders in establishing public schools. The city constructed two buildings of brick and stone, of two rooms each. A little later four other buildings were erected, all crude structures. The schools were controlled by a Board of Trustees and Visitors, who, in conjunction with the City Council, levied and collected taxes for school purposes. They had the power to appoint six residents of the city, whose duties were to examine and inspect such per- sons as desired to teach. At the opening of these schools, the total enrollment was about eighty pupils. In 1833, George Graham, a prominent citizen, had built on his own iot on the west side of Race Street, between Fourth and Fifth Streets, 3 model schoolhouse. This was purchased by the City Council. Nine other schools, patterned after this, were then built. They were of brick, two stories high, with four rooms on each floor. In some of the buildings, fire engines as well as students were housed, and when a tire occurred the cianging of the bells put an end to learning and reciting. Some Of the pupils had a chance to pull the ropes of the hre bells, and others ran with the engine. These schools were about as large as a private residence of today. The flrst printed report of the schools appeared in 1834. In this report, we learn that the city was divided into ten school districts, having two schools in each I0071tiwmcd on page 11le Sixteen 1831 Woodward High School AS early as 1819, William Woodward had formed plans for an institution for the education of those children who could not afford to attend private schools. Although Mr. Woodward led a very busy life as farmer, tanner, and owner of a large estate, he found time to take an active part in the civic affairs of this city. He was elected to the office of Coroner, and for several years he was a member of the City Council. He gave to the city a plot of ground on Sycamore Street, north of Hunt, for a jail and other purposes. He was an ardent member of the Masonic fraternity. It was, no doubt, through these activities as a public spirited citizen that he observed the urgent need of a public educational institution. Mr. Woodward was a very close friend of his neighbor, Mr. Thomas Hughes, and when, on October 4, 1824, Mr. Hughes made a will Which gave considerable property ufor the education of poor, destitute children whose parents or guardians are unable to pay for their schooling, he named as executor and trustee of the fund his friend, William Woodward. Among Mr. Woodwardis friends in Cincinnati was his attorney, Mr. Samuel Lewis, Who, though many years younger than his client, impressed Mr. Woodward by his candor and business-like qualities. The two men conferred as to the best use to be made of Mr. Woodwardts wealth. A school was ever uppermost in Mr. Woodward's mind, and the result of one of the conferences with Mr. Lewis was the decision that the school should be founded during the lifetime of the donor. Thus it came about that on November 21, 1826, Mr. and Mrs. Woodward signed a deed transferring certain property for school purposes. Gifts were added from time to time, and finally, in 1830, work was begun on the lot on Franklin Street, now Wood- ward Street. Mr. Woodward himself hauled away the first load of earth excavated for the first Woodward High School building. There was established, according to the provisions of the gift, tta high school for teaching the higher branches of learning and literature, with the arts and sciences, for children who have no parents or other relations of sufficient ability to provide .h-l'i'fnffi'lf 1841 for their instruction, or whose parents 01' other near relatives, though being of sufficient ability, utterly neglect and refuse to provide such instruction for them. However, the trustees may at any and at all times admit the children upon condition of receiving therefor what to them shall seem a reasonable compensation. It was through this latter provision that several boys, all of whom became prominent citi- zens, were educated at Woodward College and High School through the Hughes Fund. The trustees, as we have seen, had the power to decide upon the eligibility of applicants for admission. On February 20, 1893, Mr. T. S. Parvin, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, wrote: I entered Woodward High School upon its opening, in 1831. I was admitted by Mr. Woodward himself, who, having been a visitor at a public examination, had been attracted by my standing in the class, and invited me to accept a scholarship in the institution which he had founded and which would open in a few weeks. On October 24, 1881, the school, a two-story frame structure, was opened. There were threeteachers and forty-two pupils on opening day. In November another teacher was added. This teacher was Dr. Joseph Ray, who later became widely known as an author of text books on mathematics. He held an unbroken connection with the old school and was principal of the new school until his death, in 1855. He exerted a marked influence upon the administration of the school. Let us pause here for a few moments and let Mr. J ohn H. Aydellott, a student of Old Woodward, describe to us his impressions of that venerable place. My first introduction to Old Woodward was in the year 1835. The institution was then known as Woodward High School, but in 1836, it began its career as Woodward College and was so known until it merged into the Cincinnati common school system and again assumed the title of Woodward High School. I will now give tto the best of my recollectionl an account of it and its sur- roundings at the date of my entry therein as one of the pupils. The grounds occu- pied fully two-thirds of the block bounded as follows: north, by Franklin Street tthen unpavedl ; east, by Broadway; south, by Woodward; and west, by Sycamore. The school building was situated on the north-east corner of the lot, fronting north on Franklin Street and about twentyefive feet from the street, surrounded on Eighteen the north, west, and south sides by an area giving access to the cellars. The build- ing was surmounted by a belfry containing the bell. There was a wide hall through the center from north to south, with a stairway t0 the second floor. There were four rooms, two on each floor. On the first floor, to the left, was Mr. Thomas Prescott, teacher of languages; and 011 the opposite side was his brother, Mr. Frederick Prescott, principal of the English department. On the second hoor, t0 the right, was Dr. Joseph Ray, professor of mathematics, and opposite his room was the chapel where the boys gathered each morning at nine o'clock for religious exercises. The chapel was also the presidents room. The half-hour, 0r recitation bell, hung in the main hall and was in charge of Dr. Ray. 111 front of the building was a white picket fence, the rest of the grounds being surrounded by a plain board fence. About thirty feet from the south-west corner of the building was the old well, the water from it being cool, clear, and invigorat- ing in the long summer days; and it was raised to the surface by aid of a Windlass and an old oaken bucket. Toward the southeast corner of the grounds, next to Woodward Street, was a small frame building called the observatory, used by Dr. Ray in his teaching. The janitofs house was placed in the north-west corner of the grounds. W oodward High School early became a factor of importance in this city. Of so high. a character was its work that in 1836 it was chartered as a college, but the high school department was continued, and until 1851 it was known as Wood- ward College and High School. 111 1838, the Woodward Literary Society was organized. In 1840, the Polemic Society was formed; this society existed less than three years. The Woodward Epanthean teverbloomin'gy Society for junior members of the college was organ- ized in 1842. The Literary Society had its halii, in the attic at the east side; the Epanthean Society met on the third fioor, in the south-west corner. Both societies had libraries. The books were obtained as gifts through solicitation by the members. These books were circulated and were read with interest, as they were of a more varied character than those the boys had at home. About two hundred and fifty Xincfrm 1910 of these books are now carefully kept in the Woodward Museum and Graduates Alcove. In 1841, another story was added to the little building. In 1851, after union of the Hughes and Woodward Funds, the school became a part of the great public school system of our city. Up to this date only boys had attended Woodward, but now girls were admitted. Our beloved Miss Hattie David, 0f the class of I54, in her lIReminiscencestt gives us a vivid picture of the schooi of 1841. How well do I remember the first day I entered Woodward! The building was of brick, three stories high, very plain and unpretentious. N0 attractive architectural designs such as we see at the present timeeyet Whose every brick became so dear to me in the years that I passed there. It was square-looking, with a large hall in the center extending from the front door to the back door, the latter leading into the playground of the girls. tIOn each side of. the hall on the first and second floors was a large, airy, light room. Over the front part of the hall and connecting the two rooms on the second floor was a small, enclosed room which could be opened, thus throwing the two rooms into one; so that a good view from each room enabled the participants in the program upon the platform there to be seen and heard. On the third roor was the laboratory, with several classrooms adjacent. On the fourth floor an attic served as the boys debating society room. Many a delightful hour of a Friday afternoon did our classeseven girlselisten With pride to the oratorical hights of the boys. ttThe boys, yard was on the west side of the building. In it was our dear old never-to-beeforgotten well. How well I recall the many games of football! tIt was Tzvmrfy really and truly football thenJ The boys divided into sides, each playing with earnest, hearty good-will. We girls, from our windows, forming a very enthusi- astic grandstand, enjoyed their every play. Sometimes little boys of the neighbor- hood would play marbles in the boys yard. Then our dearly loved Principal, Doctor Ray, would say, tLittle boys, go away from the institution.' tDoctor Ray always referred to the school as the 'institutionfl He would then say to us, tMarbles is the first stage of gamblingf HThe only entrance to the building was from Franklin Street. I can vividly recall this scene: On a winter's day, when the ground is covered with snow, lined up on each side of the entrance are boys well equipped with snowballs. As each new- comer passes along, he is beset with, tGive me leave? When the answer is tYes,' what a lively and good-natured time follows! We had two three-hour sessions daily, with a fifteen-minute recess both morn- ing and afternoon. Frequently Miss Swan would join us girls in some girlish game upon the playground at recess time. Frequently she would invite a certain class of Dr. Rayts room to hear us read our compositions on Friday afternoons; and some- times Doctor Ray would invite our class to hear the boys. The last term of our school year our class came only in the afternoons. ttIt was a very sad day to many who had attended tOld Woodward' when it had to give way to a larger and more convenient building. This larger and more convenient building,l was the building of 1855. The New Woodward was dedicated December 31, 1855, and two days later school was opened in what was then, and for a long time afterwards, the noblest specimen of Gothic architecture west of the Alleghenies. Indeed, s0 handsome was it consid- ered that the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, was taken to see it when he visited Cincinnati in 1860. The school had four entrances, those on the north and south being especially attractive for the commanding approach to their handsome doors. Spacious halls crossed each other in the center of the first and second floors. The entrances to the anterooms on these hoors were so arranged that, with the halls, the center was octagonal in shape. The eight rooms, each about thirty by thirty feet, were light and airy. The north and south halls on the second floor were utilized as library and laboratory respect- ively, though there was a large laboratory in the basement also. Over all was the assembly hall, seating several hundred. At its east and west sides were two retiring rooms with galleries over them. The attendance increased so greatly that the south end of the assembly hall was partitioned off into two large rooms. These could be utilized as a part of the hall by raising the partitions. The galleries were removed, and the rooms under them were arranged for classes. But even these proved inadequate, and iinally, on the south, was built a three-story addition, one room deep. Woodward now had fifteen rooms, with the hall for a sixteenth or even a seventeenth room, if occasion re- quired. About 1890, at a cost of six thousand dollars, the gymnasium was built. In order to care for the constantly increasing attendance, one colony and then another was added. Even after the transfer of pupils to the new Walnut Hills High School, Woodward could not shelter under one roof all of her children, so the Second and Third Intermediate Schools continued to be used by the overhow. It was time for a New Woodward. In the fall of 1907 the building of 1855 vanished, to live only in memory. Twmiy-mm The New Woodward, the present school, with more than one hundred rooms and with every conceivable requisite along the lines of the latest and the best in edu- cation, has arisen, Phoenix-like, from the old. This structure combines all of the advantages available to modern science and architecture. In addition to the regular classrooms, it contains a large auditorium with a balcony, and a stage with two dressing rooms. Woodward possesses one of the finest high school libraries in the city. On the first floor are rooms equipped for industrial courses. Rooms furnished with every possible facility for the teaching of household arts are found on the second floor. On the fourth hoor are the physics and chemistry laboratories and a large music room. Two large, well ventilated gymnasiums, each having a swim- ming pool and a locker-room in connection, are on the iifth floor. On this fioor, too, is located the spacious, airy, sanitary lunch-room. Many fine pieces of statuary and excellent paintings adorn the corridors. The classrooms, too, are decorated with attractive pictures. Rookwood drinking foun- tains, gifts of the Art League and of former classes, have replaced the plain fountains with which the school was provided. New trophy cases display to advantage the cups and other trophies won by the various teams. Thus it may be seen that the new Woodward building combines all that is desirable and attractive in a modern high school. i Patriotlsm has always been synonymous With Woodward. Her sons have ever been ready to do duty for their country at any cost. In the early days, when the school was still young, they went into the Indian Wars; later they went into the Mexican War; and one hundred and fifty-eight young men from Woodward College took part in the Civil War. The hlgh school boys, those undaunted Woodward Guards,y of 1861, went out to battle under the banner made for them by the Wood- ward girls. This flag, riddled With bullet holes, is a sacred relic, framed and hung in the northwest alcove, now the Junior Library. During the Spanish-American War, boys from Old Woodward were in the ranks; into the World War Woodward boys went under the Stars and Stripes made and presented by the girls of the co- operative course. In the depths of the Argonne Forest, in the thickest of the fray, this hag was lost, but in its place has come to the alcove a German machine gun captured by the Woodward boys under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Dube. For a hundred years Woodward has sent forth from its classrooms men and women who have cherished its ideals and who have striven to measure up to its standards. It has grown from the four-room structure of a hundred years ago to the large, modern building of to-day. It has been proud to call men and women of distinction and achievement its former students. Woodwardls purpose is un- swerving. Its aim is still to send forth men and women who Will be an honor to the school and a valuable asset to any community in which they may reside.

ROOKXVOOD FOUNTAIN ENTRANCE TO BETTENS LIBRARY Y'wenly-twa The Woodward Museum PERHAPS the most fascinating collection of objects possessed by any high school is that which constitutes the Woodward Museum. Woodward is and should be justly proud of these relics donated by former loyal classes and graduates. Once everyday objects, these heirlooms, hallowed by age, have become a treas- ured, integral part of the Woodward of to-day. In their presence the observer is transported back a hundred years, to the time when Woodward was a four-room wooden structure. Each object has an appealing air of humble, sincere simplicity and honesty, which makes it a fit symbol of Woodwardts ideals. Here we see the old, white, handmade mantel which was a part of the guest room in Mr. Woodwardts home, built in 1816, on Main and Webster Streets. Below this quaint wooden mantel is a fireplace composed mostly of bricks from Mr. Woodwardts home; but there is also in it one brick from his birthplace in Plainfield, Connecticut, one from the original Woodward of 1831, one from the building of 1855, and two from the present building of 1910. Around this most unusual fireplace are three chairs from Mr. Woodwards homes. One is a parlor chair, made of seaweed, and used in his home on Main and Webster Streets; another is a dining room chair used in William Woodwards 10g house of 1803. This chair was made during the same year by Mr. McAlpin, from wood cut from the original forest on Third Street. The third, a kitchen chair, was also used in Mr. Woodwardts 10g house, and it, too, was made by Mr. McAlpin. A few feet to the right of the fireplace we find the original window and frame Continued on page 113'. I'zt'cnm-ercc The Louise E. Bettens Library NE of the most valuable gifts which Woodward High School has ever received is the Louise E. Bettens Library, which was presented by Edward E. Bettens as a memorial to his mother. The books included in this library, together with other property belonging to Mrs. Bettens at the time of her death, are kept in the Grad- uates, Alcove, now known as the Bettens Library. This library is not only a very useful part of the equipment of the school, but it is a thing of beauty. The door leading to the library is one of the treasures of the school. The door, the posts, the lintel, and the transom were taken from the entrance of Woodwardis home, which was built in 1816, at the north-east corner of Webster and Main Streets. This beautifully designed door, now used as an entrance to the Bettens Library, is a continual reminder to our pupils of the generosity and vision of the founder of the school, William Woodward, as well as of the love and loyalty of Mr. Edward Bettens, the donor of the library. The library contains many articles of interest. Mr. Bettens gave to the school sixteen hundred volumes, formerly the property of his mother. The books are of many different kindsepoetry, dramar Greek and Latin literature, essays, autobiog- raphies, diaries, legends, philosophy, history. Among them are three volumes of The Earthly Paradise by William Morris, given to Mrs. Bettens by a Harvard grad- uate. The volumes were her constant companions and friends, and she took them with her wherever she went. Later she gave them, rebound, with inserts of photo- graphs, as a birthday gift to her son. Although some of the books, such as the Dialogues of Plato, are too difficult to interest high school pupils, Mr. Bettens sug- gested that a desire to read them in later life might be created by an examination T'acrcuf-wfour of the title pages and covers. As containers for these books, Mr. Bettens pre sented to Woodward three black walnut bookcases which had been in his motheris home library. New golden oak extension bookcases were purchased by him, too, for the collection. There is also a special case with glass top and sides which con- tains twenty-three books, all specimens of fine binding, some books in memory of Thomas and Mrs. Louise Bettens, and the three volumes of The Earthly Paradise. There are portraits of the Bettens family and other paintings on the walls of the alcove. Six handsome bronzes, which were also the property of Mrs. Bettens, add to the beauty of the library. Mrs. Louise E. Bettens, in whose memory the library was established, was born on the seventh of January, 1827, on a farm near Ghent, Kentucky. Early in life the desire for learning came to her. Often, while she was a little girl, Louise en- joyed listening to her father read. Because of his love of books the father neglected his work, and as a result, he lost his farm. The family moved '00 Vevay, Indiana, where Louise, at the age of sixteen, married Alexander Bettens. They had three sons and one daughter, but the latter died at the age of three. Aften ten years of mar- ried life, Mrs. Bettens lost her husband. She had a very difficult time trying to support and educate her family. By teaching and by writing for newspapers, she earned a little money which proved insulficient for her needs. Mrs. Bettens, with her family, moved to Cincinnati. Here the mother was employed as a sewing- machine operator in Shillito's drygoods store at a salary of twelve dollars a week. She struggled along on her small income, striving to educate her sons. Her life was centered about the welfare of her children. Mrs. Bettens encountered many hardships and trials during the time she remained in Cincinnati. Her eldest sonls death at the time when he was about to graduate from Woodward, although it was a great shock to her, did not interfere with the education of her younger sons. Great sacrifices were made by Mrs. Bettens so that her boys could remain in school. During this period of her life, the books which she read so faiths fully proved a source of hope and comfort to her. After Edward had completed the high school course, he took his mother with him to Cambridge, where he attended Harvard University. In order to meet his expenses, Edward earned money by tutoring. He received a scholarship, Which was of material assistance to him at this time. After his graduation, he spent two years at the Harvard Law School. Then he and his mother moved to New York City, where Mr. Bettens became a successful lawyer. It was here that Mrs. Bettens enjoyed all the things for which she had hungered all her life. She was surrounded by many friends with whom she shared books, art, music, and literature. In her own home she had a library containing many books that she loved to read. She was able to attend many concerts. Although Mrs. Bettens lost her sight 3 short time before her death, she was contented and happy, for her son and her friends read to her. Mrs. Bettens died on March 23, 1914. The Bettens Library exists for the purpose of inspiring Woodward students and graduates. It is maintained through the income earned from a fund of three thousand dollars, which was given to the Trustees of Woodward High School by Edward Bettens, who realized that some provision should be made for the care of the library. The memorial most worthy of Mrs. Bettens is her life itself. The library, the generous gift of her son, serves to reveal the courageous, unselfish life and character of his mother, so that others will be strengthened and encouraged when the future seems hopeless. It is a reminder to youth that there is no such word as ttfail. LILLIAN OPP, y31.

'I llm'l vfnm' Senior Class His+ory OUR years ago, we, a group of eager, hopeful children, came to Woodward in quest of higher education. We were a motley crowd, and many a glance 0f tolerant amusement was cast our way. Who wouid have thought that this group of verdant youngsters, who bore the brunt of the sarcasm and practical jokes 0f the upper classmen, would some day emerge as sophisticated Seniors? Our first year was spent in a sort of blind, fruitless groping for an elusiVe some- thing which we never seemed quite able to grasp; After deviating many times from the straight and narrow path? and being unceremoniously ttjerkedt' back by some indifferent vigilante who lacked an understanding of the fineness of our sensi- tive souls, we were given a much needed vacation that we might recuperate mentally and physically and prepare for our ordeal as Sophomores the coming year. We returned the next year with a noble purpose in life. This, in effect, was to quell any aspiring Freshman who might have exaggerated ideas concerning his status in Woodward High School. Having been victims of the cruelly inflicted chastisement of the upper classmen the preceding year, we were well versed in methods of effective torment. It was during this year that we began to feel that we were the principal con- stituents of Woodward High School and the center of all important events there. On April eighteenth of that year, we staged a C Grade get-together party, that we might become better acquainted with one another. All unknown to ourselves, we were the possessorstof enough self-importance to satisfy the nation. In this blissful state of mind we passed our Sophomore year, and we awoke one day to find ourselves respected Juniors. Our Junior year was one of mental awakening and rapid advancement. That year, for the first time, we were granted the privilege of electing our class officers. This gave us a feeling of self-assurance and developed our spirit 0f independence which we would need later as envied, revered Seniors. It was during this year that it occurred to a number of our classmates that they had latent abilities as musicians and athletes. These newly awakened geniuses promptly betook them selves to Mr. Van Pelt and Coach Moeller, and when their unlimited possibilities were discovered, these talented J uniors were immediately accepted within the ranks of the orchestra, the band, and the teams. At last, the Seniors, having become aware of us as social beings, deigned to give a party in our honor. After we had sufficiently recovered from the results of our social debut, we reciprocated by giving a party to the Seniors. This dip into social life brought to light other unsuspected accomplishments of the members of our class. It was seen by the thoroughly astonished observers that some of us actually were possessed of the social graces. The remainder of this year was spent in an earnest endeavor to pass in all our courses, that we might be fulldiedged Seniors the coming year. Those who survived the strain returned the following year con- fronted with a still greater difficulty, the ail-important problem of how to graduate. Our Senior year was successfully begun when the Senior girls gave their Fresh- men uLittle Sisters a Welcome-to-Woodward party. Our thoughts were then turned toward the forthcoming election of class officers, in which we showed our ability to manage the important political affairs of the school. It was not only 'I'Irl'rfy-fit'c towards politics that our talents were directed, for in the highly important Wood- ward-Withrow football game the Woodward Bulldogs defeated the Withrow team for the first time in years. Our versatile class could not be content, however, to limit the exercise of its activities to these two fields, so when we were apprised of the fact that we were Woodwardts hundredth class, we immediately determined to find some way by which we could sustain this honor. Thus it came about that under the careful and patient guidance of Mrs. Bevis, We were able to portray for the students of Woodward, 0n Founderts Day, authentic and interesting scenes of life in the Cincinnati of 1831. This picturesque performance, together with a group of artistic plays produced at Christmas under the able supervision of Mrs. Trinkle, gave definite, proof of our histrionic ability. The first major social activity of the year was the party which we gave the Juniors. This was followed by the Athletic Dance, the Athletic Dinner-Dance, and the Junior-Senior party. As our Senior year was drawing to a close, Class Day, with its joys and sweet reminiscences, arrived. As we sat in the auditorium, in our old accustomed places, with our days at Woodward almost over, our thoughts drifted unconsciously back over our happy years in this dear old school. Scholarships and other awards were distributed, and Mr. Jones stood before us, as students of Woodward, for the last time. Then came the end of our Senior year, and those of us who had weathered the storm passed down the aisle of Emery Auditorium for Commencement exercises and received from the Superintendent our diplomas, in recognition of work well done. It is the sincere hope of the members of the class 0f 31 that our noble example will inspire succeeding classes to attain the heights to which we have climbed. ELEANOR DARACK, '31.

At this time, ladies and gentlemen, we will take you to the Pavilion Caprice in the beautiful Netherland Plaza where you will be given a brief review of the people who are gathering for the tenth reunion of the Class of ,31 0f Woodward High School. Hello, everybody, this is Clem Merz speaking! It looks as if we'll have a fine crowd here to-night. Quite a few of the tables are occupied already, and many of the people are gathered in groups about the room, while still others are constantly coming in. The orchestra is tuning up now, and in a little while we will all be ready to begin. The orchestra, of course, is none other than Chet Moeller's High H utters. J ohnny Atkinson and Fred Winterhalter are still with the orchestra, which has just returned to Cincinnati after a six monthsi tour of the country. ttAt the table nearest to me are Miss Elaine Kursban and Miss Amelia Daley, the authors of Triumphant Youth, which was published last year. Near them are Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Geiger. Mrs. Geiger, formerly Dorothy Ferguson, did much active work in the Community Chest Drive in 1939. Well! Well! Here are Miss Elda Hunt and Miss Eleanor Darack. They are doing secretarial work for 0111' Mayor, Mr. Zisman, whom I havent seen here yet. Coming in behind them are Mr. and Mrs. George Kiiell and Mrs. Warren Burrows. George is director of music at the Uni- versity, and both Mrs. Knell tCorinne Sweeti and Mrs. Burrows iGladys Hudem are instructors in physical education at Woodward Hi. M1 . Burrows, a noted baby specialist, is attending a clinic in New York and, consequently, cannot be here to-night. I see J ohnny Everett and Herman Bondi talking together at a far table. They are both coaches at the University now, and, thanks to them, U. C. is turning out winning teams in both football and basketball. And now, folks, if my partner will step up to the microphone, I'll let her tell you about the young ladies, who seem to be in the majority here to-night. Ruth, will you take the tmikef please? ttSurely, Clem. Howdy, folks! There seem to be quite a few Orders gathered around the tables in various parts of the room. Near us are the Altruistic Maids who are devoting their lives to the upkeep of the Orphans! Home. Those present are the Misses Ruth Kleinman, Beverly Caldwell, Mildred Hiller, Ida Kemper, Grace Rapp, Mildred Rice, Gertrude Murphy, Anna Waag', and Edith Siereveld. The president, Miss Marcella Ballard, is now at Columbus trying to get the State to build a new thomef Well, this is indeed a surprise! Here come Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Smith iB. Williamsi. The last report we had of them was from France, but 1 see they have .b'ixiyhua returned for this occasion. Theytre talking now to Alfred Frye and Burton Jack- son. Mr. Frye has just completed a bust of Daniel Geeding, the great scientist, who will eventually have a place in the Hall of Fame; and Mr. Jackson, as you all know, is the creator of the comic strip, Mickey, the Nut. But to get back to the Orders! The Society for the Care of Blind Mice have several tables near the or- chestra. I see the president, Miss Madeline Ruckriegel, and with her are the Misses Carolyn Seitz, Alice Bledsoe, Anna Ruth Smith, Alice Kunkle, Virginia Benge, and Dorothy I-lenn. Perhaps you have read some of the pamphlets written by these ladies during the last four 01' five years. On the other side of the room is the Chatteaibox Club. This club, composed of Dick Strothman, Henry Rouse, the Misses Esther Frank, Inez Kuby, Helen Thomas, and Alice McCarthy, and Mr. and Mrs. Russell Towers iMarian Fritzl, has been quite an important factor in the social life of the city. 'tAt a table near this club are Mr. and Mrs. Donaldson. Mrs. Donaldson tDoris Williamsl is now a buyer for the H. and S. Pogue Company. With them are Miss Marian Beyer, a teacher of English at Woodward, and Miss Marie Bryan, a prominent social worker of this city. Seated at the next table are the Misses Irene Bernhardt and Thelma Day, nurses at Christ Hospital, and Miss Crystal Gaskell, the noted pianist and trumpet soloist. Between them and the orchestra are Robert Tepe, president of the Tepe Awning Company; Frank Palmisano, a radio artist; Miss Ruth Geise, secretary for Mr. Warren Foster, the owner of the Cincinnati Sausage Company; and Miss Louise Delle Donne, teacher of stenography at Hughes High School. uWell, Ange, it's your turn to take the tmikel now. Hello, everybody! It surely feels good to see all the class together again. In fact, some of the members donlt seem to have changed a bit. Here are the Misses Patricia Habig, Josephine Discepoli, Rose Perillo, and Florence Winkleman up to their old tricks again. Perhaps I shouldnlt say toldf for they brought a new supply back from Ireland with them when they returned last winter. 1 wish I could have heard the end of that joke so I could tell it to you. Two of the main participants in this joke-telling contest are Miss Harriet Davis and Miss Edna Jackson, who are the comediennes at the Albee Theater this week. Two other members of our class will be seen at the Albee this week. They are the Dennie sisters, who studied dancing in France. Mr. Harry DeHart has just joined this group. Harry is now a famous tenor, and he has recently signed a five-year contract With the Metro- politan Opera Company. I suppose you can hear the orchestra playing. They have attracted an audi- ence about themselves. There are Clyde Lineback and Charles Koehnke, who have become the leading photographers of our city, and Ray Evans, who has just signed a contract to pitch for the New York Giants. Miss Lois Smith and Miss Marie Lind, who are the leading woman tennis players in the country to-day, are standing there with the Misses Bertha Lammers, Naomi Lee, and Marian Force, who have been receiving much attention lately for their paintings, which are being exhibited at the Art Museum. 'WVe will be entertained to-night by Mr. Joe Kinney and Miss Mollie Tessel, the famous dancing team from Broadway. Miss Margaret Spizzica, the celebrated prima donna, follows them on the program. The solo pianist is Miss Odessa Scheller, who created a sensation in Italy last year. Well, folks, hereis Clem again. 'iSeveral of our classmates are unable to attend this reunion and are sending in telegrams telling us how sorry they are and conveying their greetings to the class. Strlyl'li rec Here's one from Miss Gladys Roberts, now starring in the popular film production, Woman May Marry, and another from Mr. Richard Achzehner, who is very busy with his duties as Prosecuting Attorney of the State of Kentucky. Mr. and Mrs: William Connelly tMargaret Reivert send their regrets from Russia where they have been spending the last few years. Hereis anotherethis ones from Mr. and Mrs. Rapp tFIora Greenfieidi, who send their greetings from Hawaii Where they are spending their honeymoon! Speaking of honeymoons reminds me that Mrs. Ruth Zimmerman, who has been helping with the announcing, is leaving to-morrow with Charlie Zimmerman for a trip to Sweden. Ruth does not intend to give up her position as private secretary, though, for several years. Most of the tables reserved are occupied. Lets see who some of the new- comers are! Here are Miss Lucy Valerie and Miss Edna Van Hook, designers of ladies' dresses; and here are the Misses Lelia Shelton and Bernice Holliday, who together With Miss Mary Hughes and Miss Geraldine Taylor, seated at the next table, are doing remarkable social work in this city. Near them are the Misses Thelma Fultz, Charlotte Greene, and Willa Hargabrook, who are secretaries in Mr. Edmund Oxleyis law offices. Mr. Oxley is seated at a table to our left with Miss Susie Mastin, his private secretary, and the Misses Anna Smart, Naomi Hamilton, and Angela Turpeau, directors of the new Y. W. C. A. itMiss Crampton has just arrived. As you probably know, she recently set a new world altitude for women fliers. With her are the Misses Mildred Sehnetzer, Lillian Opp, Virginia Rohlman, and Evelyn Aikmann, who are studying flying under her supervision. I see that we have With us several members of the jury called during the famous Londos murder case last month: Dr. Astler, James Bur- nett, a noted architect; Judge Benjamin Martin, Meyer Ullner, who has a flourish- ing clothing business in this city; and Rev. Louis Wellman. Over in a far corner are a number of our statesmen seated under a large palm tree. They seem to be talking of business rather than of pleasure. I am referring to Reginald Boyle, Warren Caldwell, Edwin Dressel, Stanley Kluempke, Harry Rosen, Philip Swanger, and William Weinstein, Who are members of the Commission on Philippine Inde- pendence, which really averted a war between the United States and the Philippine Islands. Here's Mrs. Zimmerman again, folks! The room is beautifully decorated to-night. The Misses Louise Bryant and Ardel Reynolds were in charge of the decorations. For several years they have studied art in France together, and now they are world renowned artists. Blue and white crepe streamers meet in the center, draped from all parts of the room. The speakerst table has a large W, made of fiowers, as a center-piece. All the tables have blue and white decorations, and small paper bells, representing the 01d Woodward bell, are the favors. itAt the speakers table are Miss Louise Bryant, the class president; William Thielmeyer, assistant principal of Woodward; Miss Jane MacDonald, the first woman city manager in this country; Michael 'Matzaris, Cincinnatiis wealthiest citizen; Dr. John Smeeks, who discovered a cure for cancer; and Rev. Harold Heitz, who will address the meeting to-night. A seat is reserved there for Frederick Winterhalter, the vice-president of the class, who is now playing with the orchestra, as mentioned before. HThe dinner to be served this evening was planned by Mr. Lan Wong and his sister, Miss Ting Wong, who are now operating the most exclusive restaurant in Greater Cincinnati. The chefs aiding Mr. Wong in the kitchen tovnight are our Si';riy-four old classmates, Edward Moeller, Charles Schilling, J ohn Mathes, and Russell Tay- lor. Norman Weinberg and Calvin Warner, managers of the Netherland Plaza Hotel, are supervising the arrangements, along with Ross Rocklin and Leroy Fallis, their assistants. 'iWe have just received two more telegrams. The first is from Isadore Kades and Isadore Levine, who send their regrets and the regrets of their employees for not being able to attend this reunion. They are working overtime at their estab- lishment, the Old Town Cheese Company, in order to supply the increased demand for their product. Those detained with them are Norman Marcus, Albert Arnold, William Medick, Clark Robbins, and Carl Schmidt. The other telegram is from William Gulden and Jack Wittfelt, who recently defeated the English in tennis and now are on their way to France to uphold Uncle Semis prestige there. HQuite a few others have come in within the last few minutes. Miss Blanche Elston, a nurse at the General Hospital, is standing near the entrance looking around the room. Miss Willie Mae Jackson and Miss Anna Burnam, secretaries for Russell Henderson and Roosevelt Savage, partners in law, who accompany them, have taken the table next to Edmund 0xley and his group. Miss Celia Epstein and Miss Marie Frank, proprietors of the Tidal Wave Beauty Parlor, are now standing near the orchestra with Miss Rowena Hauschildt, the maker of Hausehildtis Choco- lates, and Miss Ellen Hensley, a Latin instructor at Woodward. In a large chair near them is none other than Charles Huseman, the grocer, who seems to be lost in deep thought or is still under the inhuence of his high school auditorium habit. Miss Warnell sees some others, so 111 turn the tmiket over to her again. Here you are, Angela? nWell, everyone seems to be here now, and Miss Bryant is preparing to call the iclassi to order as soon as the orchestra finishes this number. Iill hurry a bit and tell you about the few remaining members of our class who are here to-night. Of course, Mrs. Merz tErma Conneri is sitting here with Clem, who is a night watchman out at the Water Works. Miss Harriet Smith, the author, is here, and so are Miss Eva Jones and Miss Maxine Miller, iioor-walkers at the Smith Kasson Company. Paul Siebold, a successful tailor, and Miss Mary McCann, a beauty spe- cialist, are seated near the speakers table. Miss Frieda Specht and Miss Marie McAlpin, interior decorators, were up here just a moment ago with Harry Walsh, the manufacturer of noiseless corkscrews. The Misses Anna Mae Lunsford, Eliza- beth Richter, Gladys Sigmund, and Virginia Worthington, the quartet that made such a hit last month at the Shubert Theater, are to the left of the speakers table. Miss Marian Young, the advertiser for the Pink Soap Company, is seated at the table directly in front of us with Gladys Cornelius, the president of the company. That is all, folks. Heres Clem! I think that Angela forgot to say that she is a promising poet. Miss Bryant is rapping for order, so 111 return you to the StUdiO- This iS Clem Merz speaking.

Here, now, upon a higher stage of life we made our bow, our hearts filled with fond hopes. lmbued with the spirit of Woodward, we determined to suc- ceed in our new reles. What an event in our lives it was! Under the capable tutelage of the faculty, the directors of our future destinies, we, the timid novices, passed through the tragedies of our first year into the brighter scene of the second. - As Sophomores, we realized that our dreams were only dreams and commenced to develop our possibilities. It was an awakening shock to discover how little we knew. But handicaps did not deter us,-we emerged, triumphant. Being determined 3to see the world about us, a C-Grade party was the first step toward meeting the other boys and girls of T52. At this party many pleasant friendships were formed, friendships that will endure the test of time. The J unior year was a severe trial of our mettle, but we were not found wanting. 7 We entered into all athletic activities with eagerness, and in a short time we proved to be worthy rivals of the Seniors. Under the skillful guidance of our officers, we became an organized unit and forged ahead to new conquests. The class work of the Juniors deserves special mention, for during the three years some of us have made enviable records. The party which we gave the Seniors was, indeed, a note- worthy event; it raised our social prestige and pleased even the haughty grad- uating class. As Seniors, we hope to measure up to Woodward standards, to uphold Wood- ward traditions, and to help celebrate fittingly Woodwardk hundredth anniversary. MICHAEL C.

But we didnit mind because there were too many other things to occupy our attention. We worked hard at our studies, and as a result, many of us were exempted from the final examinations. We were ardent supporters, too, of all athletic activities although we did not take part in them. In September, 1930, we entered school as full-fiedged Sophomores, and we were very dignified ladies and gentlemen. After showing off our superiority to the little Freshmen, we again settled down to hard work. This year we took an active part in athletic activities such as football, basketball, baseball, and swimming. Many of us were chosen for parts in the Woodward Pageant, which will be given next Octo- ber, to celebrate Woodwardis one-hundredth anniversary. After the mid-year exams, we all looked forward to June and vacation so that we could give our worn- out brains a much needed rest, for we expect to come back next September as Juniors to help uphold the high standards of Woodward.

Although the organization is smaller than it was in previous years, the lack of numbers was balanced by a marked improvement in the quality of work. Beethovelfs Sixth Symphony, t'Bohemian Girl,H Chocolate Soldier, and many other selections of concert value were played by the orchestra at its many public performances. During the Christmas season the orchestra accompanied the glee clubs in their carol singing at various public institutions of the city. Two radio programs presented over station WSAI were highly commended by critics. The director, Mr. Van Pelt, is largely responsible for the success of the orchestra. The members of the orchestra are: First Violins Viola Trombone Chester Moeller Abe Levine Herschel Clingerman Edmund Oxley Clarinets .

Although the band is small, it compares favorably with the larger bands of other schools. The band played at practically all football and basketball games. It was one of the big reasons for the decided increase in enthusiasm which prevailed at pep meetings and games. Imagine, if you can, a football game without the band. To the members of the band is due much credit, for they have been very faithful in coming out and playing at the games. With the backing of the school and student body, the band could easily become one of the largest and most influential organizations in the school. The members of the band are the following: Trumpets Drums Fred W interhalter Theodore J entleson George Knell Allison Driscoll Howard J ones Abe Levine Crystal Gaskell Carl Peiper Juli U d ' d 115 n elwoo Bass Horn Clarinets f .

Eighty-HINC Girls' Senior Glee Club THE Girlsi Senior Glee Club of Woodward is one of the most inspiring organi- zations 0f the school. The time in class is devoted to learning something of the technical points of good music, such as phrasing, shading, interpretation, and rhythm, all of which enable the members to understand music, and also to present programs of merit. Some of the works studied have been: Goint Home? Dvomk; Come, Sisters, Comef, Mackenzie; ttCantique De Noel, Adam; The Snow, Elgar; The Lord is My Shepherd, Schubert; uGood News from Heavenfi Bach; uHalle- lujah Chorusii Handel; Gesu Bambinof Yon; and Sing We Noel, an old French carol. The Glee Club is greatly indebted to its director, Miss E. Jane Wisenall. The club has participated in several performances: a Christmas Concert at the school, the Community Christmas Festival at Music Hall, a radio program over Station WLW, and a concert for the Penmanship Convention at the Gibson Hotel. Pleasing as these public performances have been, no club activities have been more valuable to the girls than their efforts to carry good cheer to ushut-ins. During the Yuletide season the club followed an old Woodward custom by giving short concerts at four institutions of the city: the Altenheim, the Bodman Widowst Home, the Home for Incurabies, and the Widows and 0101 Men's Home. The aim of the club has been realized, and the girls have grown in their knowl- edge of music, its worth, and its composers. GLADYS ROBERTS, :31. Eirfhly-qur Axe, Boys' Glee Club NDER the competent leadership of its director, Miss E. Jane Wisenall, the Boys, Glee Club has successfully completed another interesting year. The chief aim of the club has been the study of tone production, rhythm, phrasing, and interpreta- tion. The classification and organization of the club have resulted in a well blended group of singers, who have enjoyed their work thoroughly. While giving concerts has never been the main objective of the club, there have been enough opportunities for public appearance for the members to realize the necessity of regular practice together. On December twentyefirst, the Boys, and Gii'lst Glee Clubs of Woodward, with those of other high schools, united With several choral organizations in the singing of carols at Music Hall for the Community Christmas Celebration under the direc- tion of Dr. Ernest Hessei'. On the twenty-second of December, the combined glee clubs provided the Christmas entertainment for the school. On the following day, the Senior Glee Clubs and a few selected members of the orchestra gave programs at the Altenheim, the Widows and Old Ments Home, the Home for Incui'ables, and the Bodman Home. As in other years, this Christmas offering of our glee clubs has been the shining light of the season at these institutions. The members of the Boys, Glee Club have spent the remainder of the year in the study of several interesting musical numbers for their own benefit; and much time has been given to rehearsals preparatory to the pageant to be given next fall in celebration of the one-hundredth anniversary of Woodward High School. All members of the Boyst Glee Club have received not only enjoyment from their work together, but also profit from the excellent musical training given them. The Seniors of the club leave with a feeling of assurance that the glee clubs of the future will continue to serve the students body as well as to contribute something to com- munity activities. CLEM MERZ, ,31. Eiglltyrfft'c Woodward Hi-Y Club HE Woodward Hi-Y Club may well be proud of its record for the past year. It has undertaken many activities, both social and educational, and all have been decided successes. The club gave three dances Which were enjoyed by many of the students. The final dance, the Spring Prom, given in May, was the most important social event of the year. The Hi-Y has sponsored several projects such as the print ing and distributing of football schedules; the financing of a few of its members for a two weeks, vacation at Camp Nelson Dodd; particination in city-wide Hi-Y tournaments; and the sending of representatives to Hi-Y conventions. The most notable event of the year was the presentation of a HManhood Cupt, t0 the outstand- ing boy of the Senior class. The purpose of the Hi-Y Club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character? The great success of the organization is due largely to the wise counsel of Mr. C. E. Johnson, Faculty Adviser, and Mr. Horrocks, Y. M. C. A. Adviser. The officers of the club are: Chester Moelier, president; Edward Rotte, vice-president; Russell Towers, secretary; Paul Siebold, treasurer. CHESTER MOELLER, t31. Cims'rrcu MuicLIm .

' E ingI-y'esiw Color Guard THE highest honor which can be conferred upon a student in Woodward High School is an appointment to the Woodward Color Guard. The chief duties of the Color Guard are placing the hag in its standard above the Sycamore Street; stairway, returning it to its standard in the Office each night, and seeing that it is in its proper place in the auditorium during- assemblies. 011 Class Day it is the duty and pleasure of the Color Guard of the graduating class to present the colors to their successers. This presentation is accompanied by appropriate ceremonies. The boys selected by Mr. Jones for the Color Guard for 1930-31 were Richard Achzehner, Frederick W interhalter, and William Gulden. Those appointed for 1931-2? are Chris Maier, Louis Mueller, and Norman Zlatin. WILLIAM GULDEN, ,31. Eiyhfy-xi'i't'rr lfiyirly-riyl'l! Ar+ League HE Art League of Woodward High School was organized in 1902 in order to interest the students in beautifying the school. The Art League had aided greatly in enlarging the collection of paintings which adorn the halls and classrooms, and in purchasing the fine Rookwood fountains which have replaced the fountains for- merly installed in this building. Miss Amy Schoff is the faculty adviser 0f the League. A representative from each home room collects five cents a month from each student who wishes to belong to the League. We hope that the students of future years will carry on the splendid work of the Art League, and by adding to the present collection of works of art, further increase the beauty of our school. FRANK PALMISANO, 31. The Welfare League HE Welfare League was organized in 1914 for the purpose of assisting needy students. Every pupil is asked to become a member of the League and to con- tribute a penny a week, or forty cents during the school year. With this fund, augmented by voluntary donations of outside friends who approved the cause, and with the teachers' contribution of one hundred dollars, the organization was able to accomplish much on behalf of the needy during this period of economic depres- sion. Fifty lunches a day were paid for; clothing was supplied; doctors bills were paid in four instances; and bookkeeping and sewing supplies were provided. Much credit is due Miss Franklin for her continued enthusiasm for the League. Not only is the League doing a splendid piece of social work in W00dward, but it has helped to create a fine spirit of fellowship in the school. EDMUND OXLEY, 31. The RecH'aI Hour Club BOUT fifteen years ago the Recital Hour Club was organized at Woodward High School by Mrs. B. E. K. Evans. The object of this club is to give each pupil a chance to display his talent and to increase his self-confidence. This year the meet- ings were held once a month during the second hfth period in the auditorium. Every pupil in the school was invited to attend. Our programs were very enjoyable. We are all working now to make our annual concert better and more beautiful than it has ever been before. We feel much indebted to our able teacher and concert direc- tor, Mrs. B. E. K. Evans. MARGARET GAGE, i32. Eiyhty-nim' Xi Hy The Latin Club HE Latin classes this year have formed a club under the supervision of Miss Amy Schoff and Dr. Harry Senger. All Latin students of the second, third, and fourth years are eligible to membership. Attendance at two meetings is neces- sary to secure a pin. The Club is rather a literary than a social activity. The program at the meetings consist chiefly of reviewing historical characters and events. The motto of the club is Facta mm Verba tDeeds, not Wordsy The officers of the club are: Richard Achzehner, president; Edith Rosen, vice- president; Maria Spicker, secretary; Philip Seeskin, treasurer. RICHARD ACHZEHNER, '31. The Stellars HE students of Miss Adelaide Sanderst astronomy and geology class of 1930-31 formed an organization and gave it the name of The Stellrws. Officers for the first term were: Edward Moeller, president; Kenneth Kinnaird, vice-president; Louise Delle Donne, secretary; Elda Hunt, treasurer; Gladys Huden, publicity agent. Dur- ing the first term The, Stellars studied the heavenly bodies on starwgazing trips and visits to the Cincinnati Observatory, the latter being made through the courtesy of Professor Yowell and Professor Smith, director and assistant director of the ob servatory. ' The second term was devoted to a study of geology, and new officers for the club were elected. They were: Kenneth Kinnaird, president; Clement Merz, vice-presi- dent; Virginia Worthington, secretary; Marion Force, treasurer; Gladys Huden, publicity agent. The students took field trips to Ault Park and several other places, and some of them made collections of the various types of rocks found, receiving credit for the collections in addition to their regular work. The Stellm's were greatly benehted by their membership in this club as it made the study of as- tronomy and geology more interesting, and it helped them to understand the lessons given to them in their classes. GLADYS HUDEN, ,31. Los Habladores MON G the many active organizations of Woodward High School is the Spanish Club. known as Los Habladoq'es which means ttThe Speakers? The name, Los Habladores, is very fitting because the meetings of the club are conducted entirely in Spanish. The efficient officers of the club are: Louise Delle Donne, president; William Weinstein, vice-president; Erma Conner, secretary; Alice Dennie, treasurer. Those eligible to membership in this club are students who are taking a regular third year Spanish course, and those who have had two years of Latin and are taking the Special A-Z course. During the year the members have been entertained by programs provided by Elaine Kursban, Ardel Reynolds, and Henry Rouse. One of the meetings was a Val- entine Party, and all entertainment and contests were conducted in Spanish. The club members gave a play in Spanish for the entertainment of the club, and it was enjoyed, too, by many of the other classes. ERMA CONNER, Z31. Nim'nuonv fruo .V invig- - Dramatic Club VERYONE of us can remember when he liked to dress up and pretend that he was someone else. This little game of pretending remains a favorite game , through life and leads to what we call dramatics. For such ttpretenders the Dramatic Club has been organized, and the members are encouraged to give their imaginations full sway. The Dramatic Club has been very successful in the plays it has given and in its monthly meetings and entertainments. The officers elected for the year were: Alice Dennie, president; Josephine Discepoli, vice-president; LOUiS Wellman, treasurer; Patricia Habig, secretary. The following one-act plays, by Constance D'Arcy Mackay, were given at Christ- mas under the direction of Mrs. Trinkle, who is faculty adviser of the club: The Beau of Bath, The Silver Lining, and Ashes of Roses. PATRICIA HABIG, 31. The Commercial Club N February 28, 1931, the Commercial Club was organized under the direction of Miss Grace Darrah. The object of this club is to promote the educational, social, and civic interests of the students in the Commercial Department of Wood- ward High School. Meetings are held the second Monday of each month, during the second fifth period. The Commercial Club is at present composed of J unior Commercial students. Next year, as Seniors, they will admit into the club the incoming Juniors. Present officers of this organization are: Nick Wiener, president; Richard Wellman, vice-president; Thelma Meyer, secretary; Margaret Holt, treasurer; Miss Darrah, faculty adviser. There is also a Board of Directors which consists of the president, vice-president, secretary, adviser, and two members elected by the club, Chris Maier and Nathan Seitel. The club has had a late start, but next year gives promise of many interesting programs for the club members. THELMA MEYER, ,32. Special Stenography Club HE Special Stenography Classes of the class of '31 have established a precedent by organizing a club which has for its purpose the study and understanding of business. Although the special stenography course for Seniors has been included in the curriculum for a number of years, this is the first club formed by the students of that subject. Under the capable sponsorship of Miss Marjorie Callahan, a closer relationship with the business world and its possibilities has been established for each of the fifty-two members, and a lasting comradeship among the graduates has sprung up through their efforts toward a common goal. Occasional social functions have made the course more interesting and enjoyable. Although it is still in its infancy, the club has proved a success worthy of ad- vancement by future classes. The officers elected for the year were: Joe Kinney, president; Grace Rapp, vice-president; Henry Rouse, secretary; Beverly Caldwell, treasurer. CORINNE SWEET, t31. Ninrfy-fhrcr -fom Nirmfy The Girl Reserves HE Girl Reserves have successfully carried out their aims this year. Besides cre- ating a spirit of fellowship among the girls, they have greatly increased their membership and treasury. Throughout the year the club has been active. In addition to their service work, the girls have been busily engaged in planning social events. Two very successful dances were given, the Pre-Holiday Prom, which was held just before the Christmas holidays, and the Spring Prom. With the help of other clubs, the Girl Reserves have furnished a clubroom. Draperies have been placed at the Win- dows, and a piano has been purchased for the use of the various activities of Woodward. ' Girl Reserve meetings are held every two weeks, and after business has been dis- cussed, there are various interesting programs. The officers for the year 1930-1931 are: Gladys Roberts, president; Ruth Caste, vice-president; Dorothy Ferguson, secretary; Doris Williams, treasurer. The able facuity adviser of the Reserves is Miss Lillian Bowie. At the close of this year every Girl Reserve may feel that she has done well by ttFollowing the Gleam. DOROTHY FERGUSON, '31. Wohi Camp Fire Girls HE Wohi Camp Fire Girls, who are celebrating the seventh anniversary of their aganization at Woodward under the sponsorship of Mr. A. 0. Jones and the leadership of Miss Luella Schiel, are members of the international organization of Camp Fire Girls, which was formed in 1911 to do for girls what the Boy Scout 0r- ganization was doing for boys. Their symbol, the crossed logs and the Hame, as well as their name, represents the home which is the center of all girls activities. Their watchword, Wohelo, stands for work, health, and love. The weekly programs, which are instructive as well as entertaining, have been given under the capable management of their faithful officers: Virginia Rohlman, t31, president ; Isabel Thompson, 32, vice-president; Jessie Hal , ,32, secretary; Olga Nineff, i33, treasurer. The Camp Fire Girls have received many awards for their work in the home, school, church, and community. Their mottoes are: uSeek Beauty, ttGive Service, Pursue Knowledge? Be Trustworthy, ttHold on to Health, Glorify Work, hBe Happy. ISABELLE THOMPSON, 32. The Sagacia+or Club HE Sagaciator Club has been in existence for eighteen years. The club was formed in 1913 with the purpose of getting the girls out to enjoy nature at its best. During the winter months, when the weather is not suitable for long hikes, the girls go on sight-seeing tours to places of interest in the city. Up to the present time the club has visited Rookwood Pottery, the Art Museum, and The French-Bauer Com- pany, in addition to taking outdoor hikes through Cincinnati and vicinity. The club, under the supervision of Miss J ulia J ohnston, now includes about thirty girls. The Girls Athletic Association, organized this year under the supervision of Miss Higgins, has linked the Sagaciator Club with its activities. The Girls Ath- letic Association gives hfty points for hiking one hundred miles. These fifty points will help its members belonging to the Sagaciators to get the W1, for which they are working. The officers of the club are: Elaine Kursban, president; Dorothy Henn, vice-president; Erma Henn, secretary-treasurer; Edna Jackson, corresponding secretary; Marie Lind, historian. ELAINE KURSBAN, 131. Xilwiyefi'zw 1925f 1g; Xim'U-xix The Junior Hi-Y Club HE Junior Hi-Y Club has made great progress during the past year because every member has taken an active part in the club, and has tried to set a higher standard for his own individual life. At the meetings, discussions were held on such topics as Thrift, Smoking, A Boyle Attitude in School, Boy and Girl Relations. We won a beautiful banner by excelling the Senior Hi-Y in a swimming meet. The success of our club was made possible through Eddie Kirbert, our Y. M. C. A. adviser, who has led us in our work and acquainted us with higher ideals in life. The officers of the club are as follows: Julius Underwood, president; Robert Brink- meyer, vice-president; William Groll, secretary; Mike Rubley, treasurer. JULIUS UNDERWOOD, ,33. Girls' A+hle+ic Association HE Girls Athletic Association was organized this year under the supervision of Miss Mary Higgins. This was the first time Woodward had a Girls, Athletic Asso- ciation, and it proved to be very successful. All athletic activities were directed by this association, and points were given to'the girls for the activities in which they took part. Any Senior girl receiving two hundred and fifty points was awarded her All-Round W. The officers of the organization were as follows: Marie Lind, president; Edna Mae Jackson, Vice-president; Alice Kunkel, recording secretary; Beverley Caldwell, corresponding secretary; Lois Smith, treasurer. We hope that in the future the membership will be greatly increased, and that the work will be carried on with as much success as it has been this year. MARIE LIND, ,31. The Pep Squad WOODWARD athletes have been given much support by Woodwardls first enthu- siastic pep squad. It consists of about thirty girls, and each grade of the high school is represented. The members of the squad wear blue slip-over sweaters and white skirts, presenting a pleasing spectacle as they form the Wl, 0n the football field. With the aid of this group of girls, under the directlon of Miss Higgins and Miss Eppinger, Woodward High School had a night at the Strand Theater. The entire show was turned over to Woodward, and a spirited pep meeting, conducted from the stage illuminated by blue and white lights, was held for the football team. This true Woodward spirit will undoubtedly carry on next year.

This was a bt'and-new feature of our school life, and best of all, it was a great success. The theater was decorated in Woodwardts colors, our Woodward band and team were present, and at nine- thirty our Pep Squad led the audience in Woodward yells. The spirit of dear Old Woodward was irresistible; the entire audience participated in our overwhelming enthusiasm, and both young and old had an unusual experience and a thoroughly good time. The picture for the evening was The Santa Fe Trail. Just between you and me, I believe the audience enjoyed our performance more thaneii The Big-Little-Sister Party was given in the girls, gymnasium. Each Senior girl adopted at least two little sisters and promised to protect them for one whole year. This ceremony is an annual feature of our program, and the movement really is very beneficial, both to the Seniors and to the Freshmen. Its purpose is to make Freshman girls feel that they are a part of Woodward and to show them what the companionship of an older gi1'1,who is really interested in them, can mean. November On the eve of Thanksgiving, we had our semi-annual Athletic Dance. Chester Moelleris jazz orchestra furnished the music, some girls did tap dances, and the dance program followed. We always enjoy the Athletic Dances. February The A-B Party was given in the boys gym from three to five p. m. This party is an annual event to which all Seniors and Juniors look forward. Chet Moeller,s jazz orchestra furnished the music for the dance. Between dances we sipped de- licious punch, and everyone regretted when five otclock drew nigh. April Our second Athletic Dance took place in April. This time the dance was pre- ceded by a banquet. The dinner was delicious, the music was alluring, and the speaker was interesting. Athletic awards were given to deserving students, and we all considered this the biggest and best social feature of the entire year. Yes, we live up to the American policy of ttbigger and better things. ALICE BLEDSOE, ,31. Auditorium Sessions September 18eThe Senior girls entertained the Sophomore girls in the audi- torium and later took them to lunch. We are sure we accomplished our purpose in making them feel more at home in our dear old Woodward. Louise Bryant was chairman, and the party was a great success. October SeMr. Carl Wunderle, noted musician and member of the Symphony Orchestra, entertained us With many beautiful selections on various rare old instru- ments: the dulcimer, the seringhi, the lute, the viol d'amore, and the zither. One of the selections played by Mr. Wunderle 0n the dulcimer was Miriam's Song to the Red Sea, which was sung by the Hebrews after they had crossed the Red Sea. A passage interpreting this song was read most effectively by Mr. von der Halben. Mr. F ritz Reiner, the leader of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, said that Mr. Wunderle was a musical wizard. We unanimously agree with him. Om: hnmlrm' mm October 13-Jurien Hoekstra, an accomplished musician and singer, entertained and enthralled every listener when he sang for us many ballads, some classical, some humorous, and some in the modern style. He has studied music both in America and in Europe, and he is now appearing before American audiences. We were indeed fortunate in being selected as one of his audiences. November 26-The Miami Glee Club sang selections that won every heart. Among their songs were A Jolly Fellow, In the Garden of Your Heart, Morn- ing, Boatman's Song? and Lee Shore. These songs were all exceedingly pleasing, but the one that every Woodwardite enjoyed most was Stout-Hearted Men. Their melodies lingered in our memories, and we left the auditorium hum- ming the refrains. A girl some feet in front of me was singing what she remem- bered of one of the songs. After she passed, I heard one of the Miami boys say, uWell, at least she means well. December S-Robert M. Zimmerman revealed to us many of the unusual and amazing experiences that he had encountered during his deep-sea diving while making submarine pictures. He vividly portrayed the submarine gardens. Sud- denly we were whisked to the depths of the deep blue seas and were breathlessly watching him and his comrade skillfully battling with deadly barracuda and sharks. We walked around on the bottom of the sea and explored the sunken hulls of Spanish galleons. Suddenly a bell rang long and loudly. We gave a start and heard a familiar voice pronounce these words: ttYou will now pass to your sixth bell recitation. December 22-Mr. Jones introduced uHappy Goldsmith who was to speak to us about nHealth. Health! health! of all the dry subjects! and just at the time when we could and should be doing our math for sixth bell! He started out with a joke, a few amusing experiences, and even admitted that his grades in school were not so good. Instantly we were all ears. He told us that the food he ate in two schools he had attended was not nutritious and therefore caused his brain to grow dull. This relieved all of us, for we found a new and gratifying explanation for our unsatis- factory grades. He said that the food we eat has a great deal to do with our intelli- gence and appealed to us to eat the proper food at the proper time. When tlHappy Goldsmith finished, we were ashamed of having felt such distaste for a subject he made so fascinating. a December 24eThe Woodward Dramatic Club entertained all the upper classmen with three one-act plays. The first play was entitled The Beau of Bath. Beau Nash, an elderly man, gazes upon his sweetheartls picture and beseeches her to speak to him once again. Suddenly the Lady Of the Portrait descends from the picture and talks to her sweetheart for one hour. This play was very skillfully presented by Douglas Smith, Dorothy Ferguson, and Norman Weinberg. The second play, The Silver Lining, was also well performed by Louise Bryant, Harry Walsh, and Norman Weinberg. It seems that Fanny Burney wrote a book that at first dise pleased her hard-hearted uncle, Richard Burney. But he was not nearly so much displeased as he pretended to be, and all ended happily. The third play, Ashes of Roses, of an entirely different nature, was well acted by Gladys Roberts, Ray Evans, Doris Williams, and Ruth Geis. Kitty Cline, a famous actress, long accustomed to the footlights of Broadway, holds sacred the memory of the sweetheart of her girlhood. She determines to abandon all the fame and glory she had won, for him. Suddenly a little girl from the country timidly approaches the great actress and asks her advice about a love affair. Upon further inquiry, Kitty Cline discovers that this little country girl, Phyllis, also cherishes the love of a sweetheart who Om: hundred l'hrcc GIRLS OF' THE CAST OF CHRISTMAS PLAYS proves to be the man beloved of the actress. She bids Phyllis return to her sweet: heart and promises that no one shall ever interfere with their Iove. January 8-Miss Anneshansley, a representative 0f the Ohio State Fire De- partment, spoke to us on the causes and prevention of fire; She related many instances of people suffering for years just because of the carelessness of one single moment. She particularly stressed the dangers of using naphtha and gasoline for cleaning. She taught us in a few minutes a lesson that we shall remember for many years. J anuary QeMr. Donald Shaw, Who graduated from Woodward in 1922, gave an excellent and inspiring talk to his Woodward friends on the subject, Reality in Life. He emphasized that the real value of anything lies partly in its material worth but mostly in its spiritual value. January lOeMr. George Moriarity, baseball expert of the American League and noted umpire, gave the Woodward students some inside information about an umpirets life. The boys, especially, listened eagerly to all his experiences and to his advice. Mr. Moriarity is really an all-round sportsman, and we all enjoyed his talk. He made us realize that even the so-called tthard-boiled umpirestt are human and really obey the dictates of conscience, rather than. their personal wishes. January 17eA real treat was offered us When the Glee Club of the'University of Cincinnati sang in our auditorium. Their opening number was ttTo All the Ladies in the Land? The boys seemed to enjoy it as much as the girls. HMarch of the Men of Harlech, a beautiful Welsh song, followed. Their comic songs, The Value of a Correspondence School? and UThe Vanity of Love, added much to our enjoyment of the concert. Sam Messer sang, ttWhen Big Profundo Sang Low C. This was especially entertaining and very amusing. Only too soon did the young men close their program with ttAlma Materf, sung With fine school spirit. One hundred four TH E SEMI-COLON CDUB Everyone was reluctant to see the entertainers leave the platform, especially the girls, for the Glee Club wascomposed iof good-looking young men! January 19eA tall, thin man appeared before the student body, garbed iii 2. Robin Hood costume, with bow in hand and-a quiver of arrows on his back. Mr. Jones introduced this unusual personage as Mr. Arthur Young, sportsman. He showed us slides of his various hunting expeditions and of the wild animals he had killed for food, for museums, or in self-defense. He not only explained these slides by relating his adventures in connection With each but imitated the queer sounds made by various animals. Mr. Young hunts almost entirely with his faithful how. He demonstrated the use of the bow and arrow by shooting at a target. His are the characteristics that all sportsmen should haveea real interest in the life of animals and a sincere love for them. March Geln celebration of Founders Day, a delightful entertainment was pre- sented, sponsored by members of the Senior class. One hundred years ago, there existed in Cincinnati a club called The semi-Colon Club? Columbus, the discov- erer of America, was held in high esteem by the American people. These Cincin- natians decided that a person who founded a club was half as great as Columbus. Since the Spanish form of Columbus is ttColon, the club was named the Semi- Colon Club. It was around the doings of this organization that the play was centered. The members had invited Mr. and Mrs. Woodward for a program to be given in their honor. One of the numbers of the program was ttGrandmals Advice, sung by Margaret Spizzica. The costumes worn by the players were copies of those worn in 1831. This, of course, added much to the enjoyment of the enter- tainment. The scene was dramatized so well that our imaginations led us to believe that we were really living in 1831. The one thing that the girls could not imagine, however, was the fact that girls were not allowed to attend school. They staid at home and learned the domestic arts. We all cohsidered this program among the best of those that we have had this year. One hundred HIT March QeHerbie Robot, the mechanical man, paid us a visit this morning. 011 account of a mere misplacement of one-twc-hunch'edth of an inch in Herbiels mechan- ical organs, he contracted mechanical appendicitis and had to submit to several oper- ations before he would even consent to try to workewhieh goes to prove that he is quite human, for he has the very human trait of stubbornness. Herbie doesnlt mind doing all the disagreeable jobs; in fact, he seems really to enjoy doing them, for, while he works, his large emerald eyes are blinking from a smiling face. You may call Herbie up from your office down-town, and he will respond to all telephone calls; but you cantt talk severely to him and expect him to work, for he expects you to whistle a tune while giving orders. Whistle one tune, and he will turn on beacon lights; another tune, and he will turn on electric lamps, electric sweepers, electric fans, 01' even tardy bells. When he has Completed his assigned task, he graciously let's you know and hangs up the receiver. He gives service with a smile. If only we had another year at school, we could hire Herbie during examination week. From our downy beds we could sleepily whistle him a tune at eight-thii'ty, and at eleven- thirty he would announce that the papers were finished. March lU-Reverend Howard Melish, who graduated from Woodward in 1891, gave us an inspiring message. He pleaded with the youth of yesterday not to be too critical of the youth of to-day. He said that since we, the youth of to-day, will soon be managing the affairs of the country, our fundamental duty is to THINK. We should think of the worldls problems with an open mind. We Should listen to the advice given by those who have learned by experience. This will lead to advance- ment and progress in our civilization. ALICE BLEDSOE, 23,1.

MARIE LllfD, 31. , Um- luum'rm' Fifth! CALVIN Vt ARNERt 31' I'M CIIAM PIONS The Swimming Team HE Woodward tank men, under the able direction of Coach Gustave L. Stecher, had an excellent season. The team, at its best, consisted of only eight members, while teams from other schools sometimes numbered thirty. Woodward won flrst place in the inter-scholastic meets for the first time in five years, with a total of eighty-eight and one half points, and again captured fu'st place in the State Sec- tional Meet at Dayton. Johnny Popov, Bert Lugannani, and Charles Zimmerman scored most of the points made by the Woodward swimmers. The team of 1930- 1931 was composed of the following: Bert Lugannani, Johnny Popov, Charles Zimmerman, Henry Rouse, William Heckel, William Groll, Lan Wong, and Bill Glueck. The swimming team boasts of 110 outstanding stars, and equal credit is due to every member. Manager Rummel gave a great deal of his time to improve the team. Henry Rouse and Lan Wong Will be lost by graduation, but there remains at W oodward the basic material for a champion team next year. HENRY HOUSE, ,31. One hundred m'nr CHAMPIONS Baseball HE Bulldogs again are champions! For the second consecutive year the Wood- ward team has won the Southwestern Ohio Baseball Championship. This scrappy team, although many times behind, always kept fighting and came out winner. Every boy on the team deserves credit for this victory, since it was only through the co-operation of the boys with Coach Moeller that the making of such a team was possible. By winning the district championship Woodward has won the right to compete for the state championship at Columbus, May 22-23. Considering the teamls splen- did showing thus far, there seems to be good reason for the boyst confidence that they will again bring home a beautiful trophy. The scores of the games of this season are as follows: Woodward 2 Elder 8 Southwestern Ohio Tournament Woodward 10 Walnut Hills 1 Woodward 12 O. M. l'. 9 Woodward 10 Norwood 3 Woodward 9 Withrow 4 Woodward 7 Purcell 4 Woodward 10 Xavier 6 Woodward 6 Hughes 5 Woodward 3 Western Hills 0 Woodward 6 Newport 13 RAY EVANS, '31. EDITOR'S NOTE: No report of the baseball team would be complete without mention of the splendid performance 01' Ray Evans during the past two years. Vv'ithout doubt. Ray can be said to he the finest pitcherin Greater Cincinnati luterscholastic baseball. llis pitching has been the greatest factor in winning the championship these last two years. JAesides hi5 splendid pitching this year, he has aided greatly with his batting, complying with two home runs So far this season. The team is really suffering :l 1055 when it loses Evans through graduation this year. One Iimzdrrd rm Football HE football season of 1930 was one of many surprises. At the first call for prac- tice, Coach Moeller had some sixty candidates aspiring to positions on the team. The prospects for the coming season were very bright. For the first time in many years Woodward was to be represented by a team of championship caliber. In the opening game, the team defeated Walnut Hills 39 t0 0. This was the hrst and only game in which Woodward was represented by its full strength. From then on, the team was seriously handicapped by injuries to its members, which lost to them the valuable services of Charles Dorfman, Anthony St. Charles, Nathan Turner, Calvin Games, Charles Jasper, Douglas Smith, Philip Seeskin, and William Medick. The succeeding games with Elder, Purcell, Norwood, Hughes, Western Hills, and Hamilton were lost because of the lack of experienced material to fill the places of the injured veterans. The outstanding event of the year was the defeat of Withrow, 8 t0 0. This was the first time in fourteen years that this feat had been accomplished, and it showed that the uOld Woodward spirit was still there, regardless of the odds against the team. Although the seasons actual rating does not seem high, for the team and for the student body the season holds many fond memories. The members of the team who earned letters were: John Atkinson, Herman Bondi, Robert Brinkmeyer, Harold Brooks, Calvin Carries, Charles Dorfman, John Everett, Harry Griffith, William Groll, Charles Huseman, Kenneth Kin11ai1'd,Cha1'les Koehnke, Michael Matzaris, William Medick, Charles Rittenhouse, Michael Sken- derski, Douglas Smith, Anthony St. Charles, Russell Towers, William Voegele, and Barney Young. Numerals were awarded to Albert Becker, Reginald Boyle, Joseph Weber, Edwin Tessel, Robert Sinclair, Nick Weiner, Lee Draper, Calvin Warner, Philip Seeskin, Abe Fiermark, Charles Jasper, and Nathan Turner. HERMAN BONDI, t31. 01w hundred i'frzwr Basketball OACH WINTON MOELLER,S Bulldogs proved themselves worthy successors 0f the immortal quintets of other years. Even though the Blue and White did not win the championship, their splendid performance landed them in the runner- up position. They scored more points than any other team in the Scholastic League. They also displayed a fine brand of defensive ball. Our athletes emerged victorious in four of their five Scholastic League games, their sole defeat being administered by Hughes. The success of the 1930-31 squad was due almost wholly to the fme co-operation between the team and the coach. Faithful hours of hard practice polished off all the rough edges, and by the end of the season the team was rated as second best in local high school competition. Special mention should be made of those who were on the squad but who did not succeed in earning their letters. They are the players who worked just as hard and as long as the others, but received nothing for their efforts other than an in- valuable training in sportsmanship and clean living. The coach did more than his share in turning out a team of such high caliber when he had but three letter men as a nucleus. Those who succeeded in winning their letters are Calvin Carnes, Herman Bondi, Robert Brinkmeyer, Charles Dorfman, William Gulden, George Hardy, Kenneth Kinnaird, and Chris. Maier. KENNETH KINNAIRD, '31. OM hundred tu'ck'c Boys' Red Cross Life-Saving AN important part of Woodwardls swimming program each year is the training of boys so they will be capable of passing the J unior and Senior Red Cross tests. The tests consist of disrobing in the water, swimming one hundred yards, towing a person by four different methods, breaking various strangle holds, floating, tread- ing, and administering artificial respiration. The Red Cross tests are not speed tests, but are designed to show the probable ability of the boy if he were called upon in an emergency to rescue some one in peril of drowning. There were fifty-nine boys, in all, Who passed the Red Cross tests, thirty-two passing the J unior, and twenty-seven passing the Senior test. The tests were con- ducted this year in the Woodward tank under the direction of Franklin Geiger, Edwin Kirbei't, Raymond Wirth, Harold Brooks, and Judge Elmer F. Hunsicker, chairman, all National Red Cross Examiners. Each year, for the last six years, Woodward has received a banner from the National Red Cross. Banners were given to schools in which a certain percentage of the pupils passed the required tests. The National Red Cross no longer gives banners, but Woodward Would have been assured another this year, if banners were given. The candidates for the Red Cross tests owe much of their success to Mr. Stecher. It is only through the efforts of Mr. Stecher that the Life-Saving program is con- tinued. During the winter he spends most of his time instructing pupils in life- saving methods. CLYDE LINEBACK, ,31. Our hmuir'rd fhirlmt ONE hundred famirmz Girls' All - Round W HIS year the All-Round W tests were conducted by the Girls Athletic Associa- tion under the supervision of Miss Higgins. The girls were awarded points for participating in the baseball, basketball, and aerial dart tournaments, for swim- ming, and for hiking. A total of two hundred and hfty points was necessary in order to receive a W . In addition to this, the girls had to pass at least three swimming aims. The following girls were awarded the All-Round W: Madeline Ruckriegel, Elaine Kursban, Marie Lind, Gladys Sigmund, Lois Smith, Marcella Ballard, Edna Mae Jackson, and Dorothy Helm. MARIE LIND, t31. Girls' Basketball THE Basketball Tournament, which was introduced this year for the first time, was sponsored by the Girls Athletic Association. A great number of girls turned out for the tournament. This splendid response offered a large field from which to choose girls for the teams. There were two teams representing each of the upper classes. The Senior team, known as the Rippling Ringletsft were the cham- pions 0f the tournament. The co-operation required of the girls who played devel- oped a keen sense of sportsmanship. e The champion team consisted of the following members: forwardseMarie Lind, captain; Madeline Ruckriegel, Dorothy Helm; guardswEIaine Kursban, Alice Kunkle, Lois Smith, and Edna Jackson. The tournament was under the supervision of Miss Mary Higgins, assisted by Marie Lind, Basketball Manager. MADELINE RUCKRIEGEL, ,31. Girls' Baseball THE baseball season opened this year with the prospect of a real chance for com- petition. After several practice periods the teams Were organized, the A, B, and C grades each having two teams. The tournament was controlled by the Girls Athletic Association. The keener sense of competition and the hope of being awarded a W brought out many who before had taken little interest in athletic activities. The championship was captured by the team of which Lois Smith was captain, The other members of the winning team were Marie Lind, Jeannette Crampton, Edna Jackson, Eva Jones, Madeline Ruckriegel, Dorothy Henn, Ida Kemper, Rowena Hauschildt, and Virginia W orthington. The captains of the other teams were Beverly Caldwell, Mildred Schmidt, Beula Cornelius, and May Harlin. ALICE KUNKLE, ,31. One I: rmdrcd fiffrm One Izmuh'mi fo'trm Aerial Dar+ MANY girls took part in the Aerial Dart Tournament this year. Aerial Dart, which is somewhat similar to tennis, has become a popular sport with the girls in the past few years. This year, all girls belonging to the Girls Athletic Associa- tion were permitted to enter the tournament. After the losing teams had been elimi- nated, the finals were played between the following teams: Jeannette Crampton- Naomi Lee, Eva Jones-Edna Jackson, and Marie Lind-Anna Lerner, the last team winning the tournament. This tournament was under the supervision of Miss Hig- gins and Lois Srhith, Aerial Dart Manager. It is hoped that more girls will take part next year. EDNA JACKSON, ,31. AII-Round W HE All-Round W, one of the most difficult to win of all the letters awarded by the Woodward Department of Athletics, is given annually to those boys scoring one hundred or more points in certain specified track, field, gymnasium, and swim- ming events. Hard work, grit, and speed are necessary to enter the ranks of the All-Round letter men, and those who receive the coveted honor are to be lauded for their effort and endurance. This year twelve boys were the recipients of the hard earned letter, and we are proud to oiTer t0 the world these sturdy, clean youths. The number trying for the All-Round W is increasing each year. Those Who re- ceived the letter this year are as follows: J ohn Atkinson, Reginald Boyle, James Burnett, John Everett, Ernest Finklea, Clyde Lineback, Norman Marcus, Michael Matzaris, Chester Moeller, George Rolfes, and Fred Winterhalter. EDWARD MOELLER, 131. The Athletic Council HE Athletic Council consists of the directors of athletics and representatives of the A, B, and C grades. Its purpose is to promote clean sport and to secure equipment for the athletic teams. The council issues athletic books,awards1etters, and sponsors social functions. Two athletic dances were given this year in addition to the annual banquet. The members for 1931 are as follows: Miss Hazel On- and Miss Mary Higgins, Girls' Athletic Directors; Dr. J acob Rettich, Boyst Athletic Director; Ray Evans, president; Madeline Ruckriegel, vice-president; Herman Bondi, corresponding secretary; Russell Towers, recording secretary; Margaret Spizzica and Alice Kunkle, financial secretaries; Marie Lind and William Medick, A-Grade representatives; Helen Seymour and Charles Dorfman, B-Grade representatives; Anna Hauck and Edwin Tessel, C-Grade representatives. RAY EVANS, 31. One hundrwl Jt'T'CHIt'UlL Girls' Red Cross Lite-Saving HE girls in the Red Cross Life-Saving Class have worked for many weeks, under the direction of Miss Pollak, to pass the Junior or Senior examinations. Any girl under seventeen is not eligible to try for the Senior emblem. Every girl Who succeeded in passing the test really deserved the emblem for her weeks of faithful practice after school. The practical knowledge and experience gained by this prac- tice have added to the pleasure of swimming, and each girl has confidence in her ability to take care of others as well as of herself while in the water. .DOROTHY HENN, '31. Track Team HE track candidates this year are new, and with the exception of inexperienced men, few in number. Edwin Wong, Who did such excellent work last year in both track and field, is the only man who has previously represented Woodward. About twenty fellows are out for the team, and under the tutelage of Dr. Rettich the boys train every day on the Hunt Street track. They are being worked into condition gradually for the Intra-city Track and Field Meet, sponsored by the Athletic Committee, to be held at the Withrow Stadium on May 14, 1931, and for other meets to come. JACK ATKINSON, ,31. Tennis Team LTHOUGH tennis has not been one of the sports actively engaged in by Wood- ward athletes, 21 team was organized this year and entered in the interscholas- tic competition. In the contest with Walnut Hills High School, the only game played so far, Woodward was beaten decisively in straight sets in the three singles matches and in the two doubles matches. The players in their ranking order are: Warren Foster, Ed Wong, William Gulden, Richard Achzehner tcaptaint, John Achzehner, Jack Wittfelt, and Michael Matzaris. Games are still to be played with Western Hilis, Withrow, Hartwell, and Hughes High Schools. RICHARD ACHZEHNER, 31. One hundred eighteen mCALENDARN SEPTEMBER SeSchool opens again.

Originally, this cosmopolitan build- ing had also been ornamented with Egyptian devices which later were obliterated. The edifice was noted more for its strange architecture than for its commercial activities, for the expensive articles on sale were seldom sold. Because of its strange exterior and its lack of success, the Bazaar began to be ridiculed as ttTrol- lopets Folly. Although Mrs. Trollope had scant business ability, she was recog- nized as one of the most charming hostesses of Cincinnati. One of her most characteristic parties was the due given at her home, Gano Lodge. About one hundred guests were entertained after supper by a presentation of The M ewy Wives of Windsor. This was followed by dancing until daylight. Since most of the clubs of this period were for intellectual as well as social benefit, it can be said that Cincinnati people were trying to provide wholesome mental training as well as pleasure. Their efforts established the social life on a high plane. ALICE DENNIE, 131. The Schools of Cincinnati in l83l fCommu-ed from page 16,! district, and that the total enrollment at this period of ali the schools combined was about 1,900 pupils. The course of study in these elementary schools included such books as each member and local trustee thought proper to be authorized, without ref- erence to other schools. Some of the books used were: Pierpontw National Reader, Rutler's Arithmetic, Talbottts Primary Geography, Parlezfs First Book of History, and Websterts Spelling Book and Alphabet. No attempt was made at systematic grading 0r classification until 1836. In 1831, Cincinnati high schools had their beginning. Before the law providing for public schools was passed in 1828, William Woodward, founder of Woodward High School, had provided for the establishment of the Woodward Free Grammar School to enable poor children, who were unable to attend private schools, to obtain an education. He later changed the provisions of the gift to make possible the estab- lishment of a high school. Still later, the institution was empowered to grant degrees and was called Woodward College and High School. In 1851, the bequest of William Woodward and that of Thomas Hughes were united and handed over to the Union Board of High Schools to be used in connection with money raised by tax- ation to continue Woodward High School and to establish Hughes High School.

Iivrnfyuxix The Woodward Museum Continued from page 23 from the guest room of William Woodwardis home 011 Main and Webster Streets. At the foot of this window is a panel from the staircase of the lower hall. Near the window stands a brown wooden cupboard made from portions of pan- els of the staircase and the stair-closet door. Here also are the cupboards from a bedroom and an original panel from the staircase of William Woodwardts 1816 home. In the appropriate quiet of the museum, these relics of domestic life present such a vivid picture that the observer finds himself on the verge of believing that at any moment he will hear the rustle of dimity skirts, and see the smiling, benevo- lent Abigail Woodward calmly seat herself in one of the chairs and pick up her knitting. Or, perchance, William Woodward himself might enter the room in the ordinary clothes of a farmer, which he wore long after he had achieved success. Such is the charm of this secluded spot. In a glaSS case, carefully preserved, is a foundation stone from the base of the kitchen chimney of the house where William Woodward was born. Here, also, is a footstool consisting of a wooden frame and hammered tin sides; it was used by the Woodward family in Plainfield. We see books, too, a waistcoat, and a needle case belonging to Lemuel Woodward, William Woodward's younger brother. Beside the needle case lie at handkerchief and a painted cloth fan, once belonging to Lemuelis wife. Most conspicuous of all objects in the museum, however, is a model of the first Woodward High School, made by 21 Woodward student and presented to the Graduates, Room by the class of 1875. This first Woodward building, erected in 1831, was a two-story frame building, sixty feet long and forty feet wide. It con- tained four rooms, two on each floor. e The original Woodward High School librai'y is in a bookcase about six feet wide and four feet high. It contains about two hundred and twenty-five books. These books, I dare say, would be of interest to modern high school students merely as curios. We have, too, the original knob and escutcheon from the Woodward High School library in the building of 1855. Another bookcase contains the publications of teachers and students of Woodward High School since 1831. On either side of the fireplace is a gargoyle, Which from 1855 to 1907 gazed down from the Woodward Street entrance on all who entered the school building. These gargoyles were the first tetra c'otta work used for exterior decoration in Cincin- nati. They now rest on pedestals made from portions of the ground floor porch columns of William Woodwardts home at Main and Webster Streets. No small task confronted the students who attended the first Woodward High School, as is most convincingly shown by the weekly program Of 1835, written by Joseph Ray. This program, framed, is now on exhibition in the Woodward Museum. Among the smaller curios is an old daguerreotype 0f the class or 1854 of which Miss Hattie David, Woodwardis oldest living graduate, is a member. And last but not least, is a writing desk, presentea by Dr. Thomas Hyatt of the class of 1875.

Trust no Future, howe,e1' pleasant! Let the dead Past bury its dead! Act, act in the living Present! Heart within, and God derhead! Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints 0n the sands of time. Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. F1'om A Psalm of Life By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Upon our banner Heating high Is Esse quam videri, To be, not merely seem to be, As long on earth we tarry. We play to win, if lose we must, No guile our hearts will carry.
