Woodward High School - Treasures Yearbook (Cincinnati, OH)

To Woodward High School which for one hundred and twenty-two years has served as an institution of learning. The first Woodward building was erected and dedicated in 1831. Since then the building has been re-erected three different times on the same site. In 1855, a great structure was built which was considered the noblest specimen of Gothic architecture west of the Alleghenies. Then came another Woodward building in 1910. This, to all Woodwardites was the epitome and culmination of Woodward's tradition, aims, and goals. When approximately forty-two years later another dream became a reality, and the cornerstone was laid for a new Woodward, the largest, most modern high school in the city of Cincinnati at present. To say that we are proud of Woodward and all the name means to the boys and girls of the past, present, and future Cincinnatians is a true statement of our deep and sincere feeling. ' One of the outstanding features of Woodward is its Alumnal Associa- tion, for it has weathered the test of time and appears to be a powerful influence in promoting and preserving interest in the school. In retrospect, we look down the annals of Woodward graduates and find names of prominence, names of scores of citizens whose lives were enriched and benefitted by the teachings of Woodward. However, we pause here to honor one of our outstanding countrymen, William Howard Taft, who was in the 1874 Woodward graduating class. He was elected to the presidency of the United States on November 3, 1908, the 27th president. A . It is definitely true that one becomes attached and endeared to Wood- ward High School. To us students, our past four years marks an enrich- ing period of a busy high school life - years of molding and remolding, adiusting and growing in every way. There is and was much to be gleaned, and as we seniors become a part of the archives ofsWoodward, we view the picture very clearly and vividly. We shall miss you. -.g-
