We regret to leave the 2.5501 ciations that have become dear to us. And yet there is also a feeling of gladness that we have completed our four years of high school work. yl In thinking over the four years spent at Woodward we recall many fond menr ories. We remember our first year, when we entered as timid Freshies. Then came our Sophomore year. Of course, we then thought that we were the best pupils in the school. Then' came our Junior year. To some of us this year was the best of all. After our Junior year, we found that we were Seniors, and now comes graduation, and after thatewe . know not what. As parting stares us in the face and my last opportunity of communicating with you has come, may I, as president of the Senior Class, wish all Seniors much success in life. May our friendship grow stronger rather than weaker as years roll on. Let us keep up our contacts with each other through the Alumual Association and maintain our loyalty to each other and to the old school. To you, the lower Classmen, we bid farewell. You are a Splendid group of young people. We were glad to have your friendship. To you, the Faculty, we give thanks. We appreciate your efforts and will learn. more and more with eXperience, how wisely and how well you taught. HOWARD KIRSCH.

ELMy first impression of Woodward was that it was a large school, and that I was sure to get lost within its walls? w , Geo, Bmssovcm uUpon first entering Woodward, I thought how nice it would be to go there with the rest of the big fellows, and see them heat Withrow and Hughes. Bill B. Wilson hMy first impression of Woodward was that it was an honor to be a graduate and to receive a diploma hearing the name of Woodward, and that it would be some! thing to look forward to.n E Walter Hampton hKWhen I hrst came to Woodward, I felt as though I were lost. After ha'ving been a Ehbig shot at Rothenberg, I felt as though I were in a wilderness. It seemed i as though I never should get used to being a part of this, our schoolfi Anonymous My first impression of Woodward was one of awe at the thought of the great expense of constructing such a majestic building, which was to be my schooi home for the next four years. Clifford Piper When the big doors closed behind me, a cold shiver ran over me. I thought I had left the last of the sunlight behind me. Now I would give anything to live the last four years over again. Charles Wuermh' 1n uSame as Wuermli sA Herman Kreulen ET was so scared, no impressions registered.

To Mr. Jones, our principal, we leave our uauditorium mannersll 30 that he will not be forced to reprimand the classes for lack of them H To Mr. Cramer, our esteemed assistant principal, we leave an automatic Stamper to fill in absence slips for the day or days preceding a group of holidays, III. 'To Mr, Burns, who is running a llthreerringed circus, we leave a prayer book, so that he can say a different prayer every act that nothing might happen to the scenery during a play. IV. To Miss Raschig, our teacher of English, we leave a stamp with the words Be specilicfl so she will not have to suffer any more from writer's cramp writing these words on test papers. V. To Mrs. Stenger, Woodwardls employment agent, we leave our names, secretly hoping that she will not get us a job before we have had a chance to enjoy a nice summerjs vacatibn. VI. To Mrl von der Halben, our teacher of German and general handyman, we leave a memorandum book, so that he can remember all the new duties assigned to him, VII.

To Miss Anderson, our genial lunch-room manager, we leave bigger scoops, bigger ladles, and bigehearted, generous helpers to dish out the lunch. XI. To the Juniors we leave our sweet dispositions, our benign smiles, our gentle voices, and a trace of our unexcelled, superabundant, unsurpassed, dazzling intellects; for we are generous souls, and they are sorely in need of a few redeeming qualities. XII. To Posterity, whoever she may be, we leave the high ideals and standards, the traditions and spirit of old Woodward, all those intangible qualities of the soul which we, the Seniors of 1937, imbibed, assimilated, and incorporated as none in the past ever have, nor any in the future ever will. XIII. To the Faculty, we bequeath the courage to face a candid cameral Signed and witnessed this First day of April, in the Year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Thirty'seven.

At last a marionctte club has been started in our school. To stimulate an interest in marionettes and mhrionctte shows our club was inaugurated. Each member is expected to better himself in accordance with three terms: originality in creation, good craftsmanship, perfect cooperation. Our activities have been confined to the planning ard construction of character mationettes. Judging from the sounds that issue from room 409 during their meetings, every string'pu'ller is having one grand time playing with the pack of woodenvheaded mimes who ncve'r get stage fright, or become temperamental or worried. Next year we expect our club to grow by leaps and biunds to the point where we can claim a place on the list Of leading activitiesu at Woodward. The Artist Colony The Woodward Art Department has been unusually active in spite of the shortened school year, The two Ten'Bell Art Classes have had several exhibitions, the most outstanding of which Comprised subjects modeled in clay. Since WoodWard is one of the few Cincinnati schools that teach modeling, this exhibition attracted citywide interest. The lower grades have profited greatly by studying the principles of design and color. The appearance of the lunchrroom has been greatly improved by the colorful new pastels made by art students. The tirade Staff The Oracle Staff was organized in March to recall to life our school publication, which had been paralyzed by the depression In the short time of its existence the Oracle Staff has turned out two numbers of hThe Oracle and mThe Oracle'Annual which lies before you, Judge it for yourself. It stands for tireless energy, boundless enthusiasm, and hours of work from all. Page Thirty tthTee Page Thiny-four The Tap-Dancing Classes The Beginners Tap'DanCing Class is open to membership for both Junior and Senior Girls. This Class is conducted and taught by Miss Pollak every Thursday in the girls' gymnasium. Tap steps and dances taught in these Eessons help the girls to acquire health, poise, and grace. Wholesome fun is also created by tap dancing, :1 healthy pastime, The girls of the advanced group have had two years of training in tap dancing previous to their joining this class. - Under the excellent supervision of their teacher, Miss Edna Pollack, these girls give at least one public performance a yean Last year this group, together with the pupils of Mr. Burns, Mrs. Trinkle, Miss Orr, Miss Higgins, and others, produced the Woodward Hilarities of 1936, an enterprise which restored somewhat our famished school treasury. The Ballet Class The Ballet Class of Woodward High School has existed for the past fwe o'rlsix years, and at present consists of about forty members. The purpose of this class is to develop grace and joy in dancing, In the past few years the ballet class gave severaf programs in the auditorium. Among these were: bLThe Quest of the Fire Bird, The Russian Toy Shop, and the ' Hilarities of 1936 High'class art and refinement characterize the work of the ballet class. Our recital of 1937, accompanied by music provided by the Symphony Orchestra and by singing of the Glee Club, provided a pleasant program. The success of our shows has been due mainly to the eEorts and thorough training of our teacher, Miss Orr. The Senior Girls9 Athletic Association The Senior Girls: Athletic Association consists 01' giris of the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades who participate in such activities as hockey, basketball, baseball, and tennis. Teams for each game are chosen, and the winning teams receive emblems. At the end of three years, if the girl has participated in all the sports and has paid her dues regularly, she receives a W . A Senior girl is chosen each year on the basis of scholarship, sportsmanship, personality, and other considera' tions to receive a loving cup. There are many hm: athletes in the Senior G. At AV The G. A. A. helps a girl to build a strong, beautiful body and to overcome shyness in meeting different types of people. Miss Higgins, the teacher in charge, makes the girls feel at home All in all, the G. A.

Some day it may be a pleasure to remember these things. . This quotation from Vergil aptly expresses the feelings of the members of our Latin Club. We shall always look upon our days here with happy recollections. Memories of our studies, Of the beauty of Vergills poetry, the oratory 0f Cicero, the versatile mind of Julius Caesar will be an inspiration to us to carry on. With these more serious thoughts there will come gayer memories,Wmemories of Latin plays and banquets where, Clad in togas, we followed the ancient Roman custom of reclining on couches, of visits to the University to examine parchments and old documents, and 0f cherished associations with our classmates and club members The eWW9 Club The HW Club of Woodward stands for the highest ideals of the school. Its members have shown this by their readiness to serve Woodward at all times. The membership of this club is composed of boys who have received a W in recognition of their athletic prowess. Under the kindly leadership of Miss Levi, the club has progressed rapidly during the past year, always striving for the attainment of the high ideals for which our club stands, Girl Reserves This last year, an especially successful year for the Girl Reserves, started off with the annual Halloween Dance. At Christmas the girls helped spread joy by dressing dolls and donating to funds for the pom: The timevhonored custom of giving a tea was again observed. At this tea the ofhcers were presented with the insignia of their ofhces in a ceremony held in the Woodward Auditorium. A former Girl Reserve president, Miss Dorothea Bock, presented the emblems, During the January flood the Woodward Givl Reserves gave generously of their services. On April 7, 1937, the Reserves sponsored a Girlsl Day Program. Representatives of the various Girls' Clubs spoke. On April 17, the Coronation Ball was held. Herman Siemantcl was chosen Prom King. The last meeting of the Club for the year will be the installation of next year's oihcers, and a tea in honor of the teachers, parents, and seniors. In all endeavors the inspiration of our sponsor, Miss Lillian Bowie, was felt. Page Thirty'nine 5 Page 17mm The 0rchestra Our orchestra is an indispensable organization. It is the very spirit of helpfulness itself: for whenever anything occurs that calls for an assembly of people, the orchestra willingly provides the music; Under Mr. Van Pelths direction this organization accomplishes marvels, when one vonsiders that many of its members have had only limited training in music. To do this the members devote much time to practice and rehearsals. Senior Girls9 Glee Club The annual Glee Club presentation this year was a big success. A soloist, the Senior Girlsh Glee Club, the Sixth- Grade Choir, and the Rothenberg Glee Club completed the program. The Glee Club has again kept up Woodwardhs standard in the presenting of this delightful entertainment for the pupils. Miss Roberts is to be commended for her skill fr; voice training and in producing artistic concerts. Whoas Who in 1950- Ulontinuecu H. REYNOLDS Volley Ball Coach H. RIDGEWAY Silent Partner J.

WILSON h Senator C; WUERMLI 00532 Expert Review of the Sports Season Under the time training of Coaches Moeller, Thompson, and Guastini, the athletic teams of Woodward had another successful year. Although the coaching staff was hampered by green material, the teams that they turned out proved satisfactory. The football team, having lost players through graduation, was not quite up to the standard of the teams of previews years. Although forced to deve10p much green material around a few regulars from last yearis squad, Coach Moeller turned out a small but fast team that went through the season with three victories, four defeats, and one tie game. The basketball team was more successful, The squad tied the Big Reds of Hughes for the Public High School League crown. The team boasted eight victories and six losers, plus a winner and a defeat in the tournament. The baseball team, up to now, is leading the Public HighrSchool League with three straight wins, and at this pace, we predict a championship for our boys. . Football -- 1936-37 The Bulldogs opened their season with a loser to Elder, but' came right back the next week to down Little Hartwell? by the score of 120. Another que stripe was added to the Little Brown Jugii when the Bulldogs downed Purcell, 1310, on a muddy held. The Weather Man again piayed havoc with the Bulldogs when they battled Roger Bacon to a 010 tie, in a sea of mud. Woodward opened its league season by falling before Hughes by the score of 436. This game was followed by another Bulldog defeat Western Hills was the' winner of this affair, 7I6, scoring in the final minutes of play. The Bulldogs drOpped their third straight game to Withrow by the score of 270, which was followed by a Bulldog victory over Walnut Hilis, 25'12. This game ended the season. In this encounter, George Srofe, who had suffered a broken ankle in the fall, played his first game of the season and his last game for his Alma Mater. Track -- 1937 The Woodward track team finished second in their iirst outrdoor track meet of the season. The Bulldogs took first place in the following order: 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, 110 yard hurdles, relay race and the discus throw. Impressed by their fine performance in this meet, Coach Thompson is confident that the team has champion- ship possibilities. Page Forty'two Baskethall -- 1 936-37 The Woodward basketeers opened their season with a victory over Elder 21,13 The Bulldogs followed this victory up by defeating Western Hills, 35-24, in their first Scholastic League game. The following night the Bulldogs traveled to Hamilton, where they feil before the home team 3542. Still feeling the effects of this game, the Woodward team was an nosed out by Hughes .13'24, in a close game which provided many thrills. Two successive Woodward defeats were followed by an easy victory over Withr row, 17-13, in another thriller. The Bulldogs kept up this pace and won their second and third consecutive league games at the expense of Western Hills and Walnut Hills, by the scores, 33123 and 17'16, respectively. The tables were then turned on the Bulldog squad when they lost three straight games, the following week. Middletown started this losing streak when they defeated Woodward 20412, followed by a Purcell victory 25320 and finally 3. Hughes winner, 33326. Next followed 3. 17'13 Bulldog victory over Withrow and an outstanding victory over Western Hills. This game marked the closing of one of the most difficult schedules ever attempted by a Woodward team in many years. The members of the 1936,37 CO'ChampiOH team were: Srofe, Cave, Lakes, Woeste, Peace, Hake, Nineff, Beebe, Dawson, and Le Sueur, Baseball -- 1937 The Woodward baseball team, at this writing, has won three games in as many starts, and is in first place in the Public High School League. The team has much power at the plate and its pitching staff rates Avl, As things look now, we predict a championship for the Bulldog nine. The Bulldogs opened their season by pounding out 8. 12'1 victory over Walnut Hills. The Bulldogs bunched their hits and made them when hits counted While the Bulldogs were having a merry time with the Eagle twirlers, Rissel and Sills were holding the Walnut Hills Sluggers in check, limiting them to six safeties. The Bulldogs annexed their second straight win, when they defeated Hughes, 13v8i The Bulldogs Sluggers continued their impressive hitting attack, pounding the Big Red hurlers for 14 blows. Kemper and Sills did the heaving for the Bulldogs. The Woodward nine continued their march to the championship when they tucked away their third straight win at the expense of Western Hills, 7J2, Sills was on the firing line for the Bulldogs, and limited the Maroons to six scattered hits. In this game the Bulldogs boosted their batting average to 387, which is commendable for a high school nine. Page Fortyethree Inu- unn- LIIMIIV. Page Farty'fomr The Historic. First Floor To begin with, let us say it is not the first floor, technically the basement is, but being, as it is, the nucleus of all activity, it is called first. At any rate, the first floor is rich and overflowing with mellow tradition and history. The year being ended, the strife and struggle of school life having ceased, let us take an aimless stroll through the corridors of the first floor. There will he no rude warning hell to prompt us into quickening out pace, Hfot them days is gone forever? Well, at least for 1937 All set? We ascend the stairway of the Woodward Street entrance and turn to our right. Here we are, the center of all activity: the office. Yes, even in May it's still a hotbed of bustle. See the secretaries, as they sit at their desks busily bringing business to a close. And over there by the window, Mrl Cramer and Mr. Jones in conference and still smiling despite the year s headaches. How typical of our school is that office. Passing on, we come to a famous corner where the Senior boys'uvhome room, 201, meets the Junior library. Say, thatls a historic spot. In that corner by the wall countless tickets are sold for all the athletic contests. There hangs the imposing array'of endeared trophies. There is where the Senior boys are wont to convene in the morning, joshing, fibbing, and clowning. Then there is the Junior library, a cozy little alcove. The real library we now see, a homey haven of intellect, where the finest books for high school students are assembled. N0 better environment is there in all Wood; ward for thoughtful, undisturbed study. See those familiar pictures and statues adornv ing the scene. There is the grave Dante, in a bust of bronze; there is that small statue of a World War soldier; there is that picture of a monk in a monastery. All so familiarly associated with the library. And those black walnut chairs and tables, how they have such a homey atmosphere. Just outside the library are the fountains in pretty tile, the historic placques, and the large American flag. Here is a spot much frequented by everyone. Here also, we regret to say, most of the malicious and scandalous gossip has its origin. And so passing on again, we reach the venerable Bettens library. Tradition and antiquity hover everywhere in this room. The key room, we almost overlooked it; it is so inconspicuously tucked in under a stairway, Here the long lines form as the rush on lockers begins. See that varnished double door on the left? That leads from the hall to the stage. Clever, what? Comes now the cooking and sewing rooms, giving a homerlike touch to the First floor with their aromas of delicious food and whims of machines. And there we see the stairway leading downward to the Woodward Street entrance-say, didnlt we come in here? Thatls right; well, welve seen everything, so that ends our little sojourn. Weill meet you some time again and take another stroll; See you at the next alumnal reunion. Page Fa'rty'five Turning Back the Clock September 9gHHi ya, Bill! Hi ya, Joe!
