IVBLASS lIflIllIfSCllf4DllRClY Fiaw years ago we entered Wood' ward as freshmen to take up the colorful life of high school students. But our youthful ardor was soon damp' ened, for we found our new surroundings quite bewildering. We were abashed by the awefinspiring members of the Faculty and upper classes, and dismayed by the numerous bell signals, programs, schedules, door numbers, floor numbers, up and down stairs, corridorfskating and deten' tion rules and countless other puzzling features. Moreover, we were objects of ridicule and practical jokes inflicted largely by sophomores. However, before the year was over, we believed ourselves well on the road to getting a higher education. After our summer vacation, we returned to school as sophomores, very conscious of our superior position over wretched little freshies, and with the memory of our own past suffering, we were quick in retaliation. School life became more absorbing with our participation in school clubs and athf letics. Our advent into social affairs was climaxed by the Sophomore Getftogether Party. We were fortunate enough to be given important parts in the Woodward Centennial Pageant which was then under way. However, our ever pressing studies were becoming more or less of a grind for our adventuresome spirits, and the sum' mer vacation came as a welcome intervenf tion. As juniors, having outfgrown our pref vious flightiness, we came to realize that the business of getting an education was a serious one, and we set to the task with renewed vigor. The highlight of this year was the production of the Pageant com' memorating the hundredth anniversary of our school, a celebration which we helped to make a success. We cofoperated also in the publication of the elaborate Centenf nialfPageant Annual. The honor roll throughout the year testified to our high scholarship. We took a more important part in clubs and athletics, elected our class officers and put over the BfA Party with huge success. On class day we accepted the gavel from the seniors with the great' est sense of responsibility. The' presiden' tial speech on that occasion is worthy of ref membrance. And now we had attained the much' coveted and long dreamedfof rank of seniorship. We elected our class officers and ORACLE executives, and gave our sub' stantial support and active interest to school activities. We were successful in our social undertakings which included the AfB Party and the Girls' Big Sister and Halloween Parties. The Dramatic Club under Mrs. Trinkle's direction prof duced two splendid plays, and many seniors participated in the International Medley given, first ,for Parents' Day and, later, for the alumni. We effected changes in our school publication, THE GRACLE, increasing its format but reducing the is' sues to five. Due' to the financial plight of the time we were forced to relinquish the customary Annual. Now that class day has come, we look back over our school life with fond reminf iscences, and with regret we bid Wood' ward goodbye. VIVIAN Foucs, DOROTHEA Bock. 19
