Wliile the graduating class is not as large as many of those which have preceded it, the total school enrollment has increased so material- ly in the last few years that the capacity of the building has been taxed to the utmost. In the years to come among the many other things to which I hope that conditions of the four years of depression under which you labored while securing your high school educaion may never again be wit- nessed by you. Trusting that tomorrow,s dawn will be more roseate and that uthe thing that thou desirestl' will be realized hy each member of the class, I am Sincerely you , 1,2 . O. JONES. P F E i 2 if Qi i THE ORACLE Calm and serene In their daily routine, With not a care in the world 5 T hey're awaiting the time, When with joy sublime They fling their challenge unfurled. It hasn,t been long g just two short years, Since they entered a pathway new, With lilting hearts and laughing lips And hopes and dreams to strive to do Those things that make their lives worth while And which crown their tasks like a golden smile. Junior A challenge of light, A challenge of right, And all that is steadfast and true, With faces that beam, And eyes that gleam, T hey will set a purpose new. Q Sophomore Ah yes! They think at times it's vain To persevere mid storm and rain Of life,-that vast engulfing sea,- And bear the world's cold mockery. Yet their hearts burn with that quick That glowing and immortal name- The joy of youth, that living fire Fed by that never still desire-Success! S flame Freshman Freshmen, we are! W e're proud to be W e'll not retard So little and, so shy, And though Sophomores smile In a simpering style, W e'll show them by and by. Ur give them cause to laugh. W e'll aim to be, not seem to be, For W oodward,s honored name. With voice of praise For we're a part of Woodward now, Her name we,ll raise We are her other half. W e'll strive so hard And grace her lasting fame. 8 S THE ORACLE Lest we forget what we've been ere now and what we are. Ourselves At Her Graduation Pearl V. Schube, '34 So young, so fine I watched her go Down the dim lit aisle so slow. It seemed hut hack a little while That we had dreamed it so. I was so proud. Dressed all in white, She made me think of long ago, When she had first hegun to grow And I had heard her prayer each night. Her hack was turned, but well I knew Her eyes were all aglow with dreams, New life, new friends, new hopes, new schemes, It was so sweet. I felt it too. And then I bowed my head to pray. She seemed so young so unfraid, L'Oh keep the wonderous dreams she's made As shining as they are today! Our Class Officers Our Oracle Executives RUTH H.

But most had done quite well indeed, as soon as we all shall seegg For llll try to tell you what I saw, as it appeared to me . l saw .loe Price, a financier, control our largest banlcg And his private secretary was no one but Mickey Franlcl lle had a few stenographers to lceep him co1npany:-e- Polly Thomas, Dorothy Yates were there, and Pearl Schube.

Oh, Kresser was a pitcher and each time he threw the ball I could hear the umpire, Courteir, a strilcev quite loudly call. So Tieman went down swinging, so did Sterling and Lislcow,- But Pd better change the scene here, Pvc so much to tell, you hnow. Polinsky was a doctor, and f0h what a man was helj He killed more people in a day than l could kill in threel And Walker was a surgeon, too, and likewise was Plotnich, And Kuby always did his best to try to heal the sick. Now Todd and Collins rolled their pillsl' and mixed up drugs quite And Schummer was a dentist,-Ah, but more I cannot tell. For my vision seemed to take me then, back to this dear old school And the principal by now was fwhosd have thought it f Walter Kuhl! Pauline Tralcas taught our music, Anita Steinruck, the F rench,- V ada Dove and Dorothy Elder also taught here-in a pinch. Then I saw an old acquaintance, as l much regret to state, Thomas Waller, whose ambition was some day to graduate! Ed Tessel was the mayor of this fair metropolis, But, contrary to all rumors, his life was not one of bliss. What with budgets, taxes, sinking funds, and debts, and all the life, And quarrels with the treasurer--one Lonnze T. Ten Eylce- And Christian Tuerelc, the Auditor,feOh, things were in a mess, But the voters came around that fall, and fixed things up, I guess. Now Preston Garrett edited the CINCINNATI POST. And he had a stajj' of workers of whom anyone could boast. The reporters were as follows: namely, Herbert Vickery, Max Kabakoj, Anna Busby, and also Mabel Eberle. Obituaries were written by Walter Richardson, And printers were Herbert Hilgeman and .limmie 0. Sexton. I went to see the opera FA UST at the Metropolitan. Lou Drzhling sang the leading role, and imagine if you can well, THE ORACLE Andrew Wolfe as Mephistopheles, Frances Lohrum as Margaret! As musicians, Kenneth Klaiber and Stanley Wong were in the pi As was also Herschel Clingerman, but I guess the best of all Was Herschel Dean who fno, not sangj sold peanuts in the hall! At a local exhibition of contemporary art George Rousseau had a painting of a wreck that looked the part. Selma Darack hung a landscape which was good, but who could s At the pretty pose of Helen Hubble by Herman Richard Hoff? Paul Bogoslan and fean Harless painted one that was a mess,- So modern that to meaning only they could ever guess! A movie company came to town to shoot some local scenes. As leading man they had Leistner, whose acting, so it seems, Was based upon his prowess-which made the women fall, And Aileen Mick was leading girl at Leistner's beck and call. Bill Raney was comedian, whose opposite was played By Ruth Thorson as comedienne,-and what a pair they made! The Women's Bridge and Gossip Club had met at Ethel lVack's To play bridge and talk of neighbors fyesj behind the neighbors' As hostess Alice McCool was good, and put at table one ,lane Rissell, Annette Parsan, Helen Slater, and Hazel Saxton. I left when Gaila Hudson and Fannie Malin had a scrap Over Gaila,s being seen upon Sir Gordon lliffs lap! Charles Pfahler was the football coach at Cincinnati U. His assistant was foe Weber who was trying hard to do The impossible with Lattimoreg endeavoring to beat The records of fumes Thompson, then old U. Cfs star athlete. George Hardy was a track man there, and won his fastest race From Leonard Lavette of Xavier, who came in second place. Fannie Mae Mcnuffie taught domestic science there 5 Sarah Carpenter was a history prof., and a good one I declare. Ethel Coons taught Chemistry, and Vera Clark taught Creek, Callie Rogers was an honorary student, so to speak. Ethel Manning, Clara Rogers, and Gertrude Davis, too, And Elnora Ferguson were also students at the U. Sullivan fared the best of all in the eyes of your poor prophet, For he took up bridge professionally and played at it for profit.

Fuersich, Calvin Frech, and Jacob S. Epstein Were all admitted to the bar in 1939. William Beckham was a lawyer, so was Oscar Henry, too, And I also saw some female ones, although there were but few, Alice Arnold and Ruth Heckel, both seemed to be doing fine, But I thought the matter over and hired Cal F rech for mine. So I went up to his office and was quite surprised to see A-ll the stenographers he had-there were no less than three, I o. coff backs Evelyn Schwartz, Catherine Schroer, and Eleanor W ilmes were there, And he had a private secretary-Edith Genslinger. THE ORACLE He did a thriving business, yes, deny it no one can. The judge that tried my case that day was Howard H ilgeman. Florence Iordan, Helen Stevens, and leanne Palmer were all three Librarians who were working at the public library. I got a book from Norma Bock, to sit awhile and read, When who came in but Helen Meyer, to break my thought, indeed. She had with her Naomi Wilson, who was nursing, now, I learned, Clarence McCartney's broken heart-my book and I adjourned. I took a trip around the Globe, and the day I went afloat Georgiana Moore and Michael Rubley flew me to the boat. Bill Sexton was the Captain of our ocean-going craft, Fred N icolay was Steward, and as Robert Maurath laughed I saw Richard Early hard at work scrubbing of the deck, While Jimmie Ward was in the gallery peeling 'taters by the peck. We docked our boat on English soil, and when we went ashore I saw a famous tennis match in progress, and whafs more ,Twas Oscar Gast and Bogart playing for the championship, I couldn't wait for the results, had to go on with my trip. As I crossed the English Channel I beheld a swimming race, Margaret Rounds, Montana Randolph, and Irene East set the pace. I traveled on to gay Paree and there saw Donald Bauer Constructing an addition to the famous Eifel Tower. I met Leroy Hannaford,-a salesman by the way- Who was selling stock, a ugrandu per share in the great Champs Elysees! Viola Friedman and Marion Snyder were there, too, but could not convince m That they were purchasing for Mary Hoobler's store in 'gCincy. I met Miriam Black and Christine Henson strolling in Granada, They had gone there, so I understood, to see the old Alhambra. A tango Georgie', Boothe and Margaret Boyles together did For my enjoyment in a cafe in the streets of old Madrid. I saw a bull-fight ere I left, and who was matador But Vola Sears, you should have heard that crowd of Spaniards roar. I dropped into Monte Carlo while upon my way to Rome, And I saw more classmates there than anywhere since leaving home! Robert Gau was taking money at a table of roulette From Dorothea and Lucille Girard each time they made a bet. Marcella Eagan and Ruth Ellerman were taken, just as bad While Ruth Marx and Marian Hornberger lost every cent they had! Onward into Rome and I saw classmates there anon- Arthur Schmidt and Harvey Waldman gazing at the Pantheon. Mary Tuccinardi going wide-eyed through the Vatican With Ruth A rata, Anna Floyd, and Emma Brangleman. Ernestine Sciarra, with Mildred Myers I saw the very last Yelling, c'Vivi Duceu at Mussolini as he passed. From Rome I went to Egypt and on the boat as we drew near I sent a radiogram by Robert Kleiber, engineer, To Lyle H erbold who, I I had heard j was an advertising man Selling tickets to the pyramids. Imagine, if you can, THE ORACLE William Heckel writing sport news for the CAIRO DAILY CALL, And William Roberts climbing Cheops, and trying not to fall. From Egypt on to India, I paused to see Bombay And there met Virgil Mercer, who was then upon his way Into the jungles of the Orient to film some movie thrills. And Robert Rueppel was there hunting, and he made a few nice kills. Back down in Calcutta, Russell Williams ran a store Where he showed me quaint old trinkets, jade, and ivory galore. I boarded then the private yacht of Mr. Isadore Mass, He was giving a yachting party, and, believe me, in some class. Elizabeth Sweeney was on board, and Elsie Robertson, Dorothy Steele, Minerva Carpenter, and Oleta Henderson, Edna Mae Fielhauer, and Matilda Edelstein, And a host more I could mention their names would only rh.yrne.j I disembarked at Singapore, and there saw Ah Foo Wongg A chemical engineer was he, who worked both hard and long. My next stop was Manila Bay, and there in full command Of fifteen U. S. Cruisers-which were anchored close at hand- W as no one but Harold Kuyper, and he treated me right well, Considering that he was then a swanky navy swell. He put me on a navy boat that was Hawaii bound And upon the beach at Kawailtae I finally set on ground.

But on docking at the pier I found myself amid Miriam Austrian and Elizabeth Donaldson who were there to bid Adieu to ,Ioseph Harrigan, who took a ship to Nome, I had to leave them with just a word, to catch a train for home. .I. Dudley Watkins traveled this old globe completely o'er,- From stem to stern, from top to toe, to all the corners four. And when he reached his home at last, he settled down to work, He sought out all those rendezvous where wiley muses lurk, And tried to write in poetry, the things he'd seen and done, But it drove him to insanity, long ere his tale was spun I 'H' 'M' 46 'Bl' -X- Here my dream was rudely broken by the ringing of the bell, And my history class was over, then I began to tell My vision to the editor I that was my great mistake 2, For he said it must be written for the ORACLE ANIVUAUS sake. My drearu was really coming true! I wracked my poor brain bare, I broke my faithful lyre in twain and, raving, tore my hair!

In Athletics THE ORACLE FOOTBALL Summarizing the athletic activities of Woodward High School for the year 1933- '34-, we find that the Bulldogs have main- tained their high standing among the High Schools of Cincinnati. Although several of the teams did not win the majority of their games, prospects for next year are very bright. The football team was not as successful as the teams of previous years. Coach Moeller, having lost most of last year's men, was forced to organize an entirely new team. When this circumstance is taken into con- sideration, the team performed fairly well, winning from Walnut Hills, tieing St. Xav- ier, and dropping contests to Elder, Purcell, Withrow and Norwood. Woodward showed its greatest power in the Walnut Hills game, their passing attack proving to be their strongest means of offense. Due to injur- ies and ineligibilities, Woodward had to forfeit their last two games to Hughes and Western Hills. V OLLE Y BALL The Volley ball team annexed the Scho- lastic Volley Ball Championship for the second consecutive year. The Bulldogs took the first twelve games from Withrow, Hart- well, Walnut Hills, and Western Hills with- out a single defeat. They then met Hughes ,for the championship, and aflter the Big Alieds won the first game, Woodward upset Hughes twice to retain their title. BASKET BALL The Blue and White Basketeers, under the able guidance of Coach Moeller, suc- ceeded in tieing Western Hills for the title. ln the play-off for the undisputed posses- sion of the crown, Western Hills outclassed Woodward and the down-town boys had to be satisfied with the second place berth. The Bulldogs flashed their form in the first three games by trimming Walnut Hills, St. Xavier, and Elder. The first set-back was administered by Hamilton. This, how- ever, did not discourage the confident Moel- lerites for they continued their drive toward the championship hy scoring over Walnut Hills, Withrow and Western Hills. In league competition the Big Reds won both games from the Bulldogs. Uther strong fives to defeat Woodward were Aurora, Middle- town and Purcell. The squad consisted of Jucker, Davis, Wilson, Cornelius, Iliff, Schummer and Jones. SWIMMING The swimming team, under Coach Thomp- son, had a difficult time getting started, but when it rounded into shape it was a match for all local competition. The Bulldogs finished fourth in the Public School meets, but in the third they nosed out Withrow for first honors. In state competition the spot- light focused on our Medley Relay team of Kemper, Gau and Cehler. At Columbus this relay team outswam all Ohio compet- itors. TRACK Coach Thompsonis track team enjoyed a fairly successful year. The Bulldogs finish- ed first in two meets, ahead of Western Hills and Automotive in the first, and Roger Bacon and Purcell in the other. They were once defeated by Withrow, and finished second to Norwood in the meet between Norwood, Western Hills, and Woodward. The events in which the Bulldogs scored their points most consistently were the hur- dles, high jump, and the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Bob Leistner and Billy Raney, two seniors, were the main clogs in Coach Thompson's squad this year, but there are many sophomores of ability on the team, and it should make a fine showing next year. 36 X THE ORACLE BASEBALL The Woodward Baseball team went into action against Elder in the opening game of the season, and suffered their first defeat of the year, 10 to 0. Woodward had a young inexperienced team on the field, and it showed its ugreennessi' by committing numerous misplays, which resulted in many of Elder's runs. The players also showed a weakness at bat, collecting only four hits. The pitchers, all of whom are playing their first year with the squad, made a fair show- ing but the poor support resulted in their downfall. . The Bulldogs encounte1'ed Purcell in their second contest, and were shut out for the second consecutive time. The pitching in their game showed signs of improvement, but the Bulldogs were still very weak at bat and in the field. The best that Woodward could do was to get four hits, while many errors allowed Purcell to score freely. ln the first league game of the season Woodward met Hughes, and after a hard fought game, the Bulldogs were on the short end of a 7 to 5 score. Hit after hit rang off the Bulldogis bats as they showed that they were able to get their share of base drives. The fielding of the team was again a handicap and caused the loss of the game. Woodward met its fourth straight defeat at the hands of Western Hills 7 to 3. The Bulldogs fought hard to end their losing streak, but were unable to keep step with the Maroons. Victory, after what seemed an eternity, was enjoyed by Woodward in their contest against Walnut Hills, 9 to 6. The Bulldogs, after a difficult struggle, combined enough fielding and batting power to overcome their opponents. Withrow tangled with Woodward at Cros- ley Field, and the Bulldogs took their Worst beating of the year, 19 to 8. The down- town boys continued to hit the ball hard, but the Woodward pitchers were no match for Withrow batters. Woodward and Western Hills tangled for the second time this season, and the Ma- roons scored a 13 to 0 victory over the Bull- dogs. Brown pitched a good game for Woodward, allowing Western Hills only four hits, but his team mates play very er- roneous ball behind his brilliant pitching. AN APPRECIATION The Class of '34 extends its heart-felt congratulations and appreciation to its coaches, Dr. Rettich, lVlr. lVloeller, and lVlr. Thompson, for their splendid efforts. Al- though several of the teams made poor showing, it was not due to the coaching. Graduation of last year left many of our teams without a single experienced player, and the coaches had to rebuild entirely new teams, which took time and work. We re- alize that our coaches have tried to give us winning teams, and we extend to them our best wishes for more success next year. GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The officers of the Senior Girls' Athletic Association are: President, Montana Ran- dolph, Secretary, Judith Bang, and Treas- urer, lVlarion Grau. There is an '4All-around WH .awarded to the girls who have belonged to the Senior G. A. A. for three years and who have par- ticipated in all sports. Girls who will re-, ceive this honor this year are: Montana-f Randolph, Ruth Heckel, Judith Bang, Ruth Thorsen and Dot Yates. A play day for the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades was held at Eden Park on Wednes- day, lVlay 9. A large group attended and remained for the supper which was sched- uled. The 10th 11th and 12th grades enjoyed their swimming meet held on Monday, April 30. The 10th graders won the meet 337 THE ORACLE with the 12th graders second and the llth graders third. A Hobby Play day was held at Withrow on May 19th from 10 to 5 o'clock. Lunch- eon was served. Five girls from every high school were chosen to attend. The girls representing Woodward Were: Marion Crau and Bernadine Price, playing schuf- fle-board, Helen Davis and Clara Mae Schroot, taking part in archery, and, Mon- tana Randolph, the President of the G. A. A. The Junior Girls' Athletic Association is nearing the end of their baseball tourna- ment. The Cabbe team captained by Ber- tha Cabbard are the winners. The Junior G. A. A. has held two Very successful swimming meets. The 9th grade captained by Eva Budo won the honors in the first meet. The Yellow Team captain- ed by Lillian Smith and Eva Budo took the laurels in the second meet. A play day was held May 14, for the 7th, Sth, and 9th grades at Deer Creek Commons. A very large crowd attended it. The events were as follows: kickball, base- ball, challenges, and relays. The officers of the Junior G. A. A. were as follows: President, Virginia Wesselsg Vice President, Dorothy Leslie, Secretary, Lillian Smith, Treasurer, Freda Daley, and Histo1'ian, Twila Lowe. The Life-Saving classes were outstanding this year. The girls that were awarded life saving emblems are as follows: Annabelle Reid, Dorothy Vollmer, Annette Caito, Jean Beran, Bertha lVIorret, Adeline, Veser, Francis Blackburn, Ruth Thorsen, Catherine Schuster, Sylvia Marksbury, Merry Kara- bensch, Marge Cillen, Lillian Campbell, Louise Browarsky, Roberta Perkins, Eva Budo and Josephine Stein. 38 THE ORACLE What ho, my jovial mates! Come on! we'11fro1ic it . . . I-Scott. 4 i H Activities THE ORACLE The Commercial Club The Commercial Club was organized on February 23, 1931 and is under the direc- tion of Miss Darrah. The object of this organization is to promote the educational, social, and civic interests of the students in the Commercial department of Wood- ward High School. This club is a senior organization, which admits juniors at the half year. Delta Scribens The Delta Scribens Delta Club is com- posed of pupils who elect special stenogra- phy in their senior year. Because of the large number who elected this subject we decided to divide the group into two separ- ate clubs, the first composed of pupils in the third bell class, and the second com- posed of sixth period pupils. This year we again had the good fortune to obtain the able and willing leadership of our sponsor, Miss Callahan. Delta Scribens Delta, as the sixth bell club was named, was organized in October and the following The officers of the Commercial Club are Ruth Arata, President, Aileene Mick, Vice President, Emma Brengelman, Secretary, and Ernestine Sciarra, Treasurer. We hope that the Commercial Club help- ed in its way to make the last year of its senior members an enjoyable one. Delta Club officers were elected: President, Mary Tuccinardi, Vice President, Oscar Cast, Treasurer, Preston Garrett, and Secretary, Gordon Iliff. V Meetings were held monthly. The meet- ings this year were very interesting because they were composed of informal discussions of everyday social and economic problems. These discussions were supplemented by talks given by various other speakers, among whom was Mr. Irving R. Garbutt, Director of Commercial Education. Special Stenography Club The Special Stenography Club was or- ganized the third week of school under the capable leadership of Miss Marjorie Calla- han. The officers are: Jeanne Palmer, President, George Booth, Vice President, Mickey Frank, Secretary, Marian Horn- berger, Treasurer. Meetings are held the first and third Mondays of the month. The club in collaboration with the Delta Scribens Delta gave a party in the gym- nasium at Thanksgiving time and another at Christmas time. Other social activities were enjoyed during the year. The club also enjoyed a very interesting talk by Mr. Irving Garbutt, Director of Commercial Education. We feel that the great success of this club is due to the encouragement of our adviser, Miss Callahan, and to the attitude of the members. 41 THE ORACLE Alpha The WO0dWa1'd Alpha Hi-Y has com- pleted a very successful year. We again had the good fortune to obtain the able leadership of Harry Strothman. Our first meeting was held in September and meet- ings were held every Tuesday since. The officers elected this year were: President, Michael Rubleyg Vice President, William F errisg Treasurer, Arthur Schmittg and Secretary, Robert Gau. The Hi-Y has for its ideal uTo create, Hi-Y maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian characterf' The most outstanding social event of the year was our Spring Prom, at which time Miss Aileene Mick was elected Spring Prom Queen. We feel that the past year has been very valuable to us, not only for the moral and educational benefits derived, but for the splendid social contacts we obtained. S Beta Hi-Y The Beta Hi-Y has completed a very suc- cessful year. The members feel that valu- able information has been obtained through discussions on the topics which concern our youth, and through the various speakers Beta Hi-Y was also very fortunate in hav- ing several interesting speakers. The Betas have given a number of social affairs this year. Among them was a party given by both the Beta and Alpha Chapters at the Central Y. M. C. A. to which the Girl Reserves were invited. There was also a small party given for the purpose of get- ting acquainted with the Gamma Hi-Y. Next year Beta will succeed Alpha in taking the reins as the senior members of the Senior Hi-Y. It fully realizes the re- sponsibility and hopes that it will be able to do as well as the Alphas of this year. Q Delta The purpose of this organization is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Special events of importance during the year include a mock trial, a visit to the city hall and court house, jointly co-oper- ation with the Gamma Chapter to sponsor Hi-Y a successful swimming party and dance at the Y.
